There was no word, and night fell.

"Bang, bang, bang!

At the same time, a low knock on the door broke the silence in the courtyard, and it was a code of three long and two short, Liu Xunyi knew that the person who came must be the "messenger" of the Prime Minister's Mansion without asking.

"Squeak!"

There was a soft sound, and the door was divided to the left and right, and a black shadow flashed into the courtyard like a ghost.

"Before a stick of incense, the prime minister had been edicted to enter the palace and leave the palace...... About the beginning of the sub-hour. ”

The person who came was mediocre in appearance, dressed in black, and belonged to the kind of "vulgar people" who were thrown in the pile of people and did not show their water. As soon as I entered the hospital, I got straight to the point, there was no superfluous nonsense, and I came prepared.

"Huh?"

Suddenly seeing the blood stains on the ground and Jia Fu who was sitting in the corner of the wall and dying, the man in black couldn't help frowning, and hesitated: "Big butler, ...... are you?"

"Alas!"

Facing the curiosity of the man in black, Jia Fu slowly shook his head in pain, and let out a sigh from his mouth.

"This ......" The man in black gradually noticed that something was wrong, subconsciously raised his eyes to look around, and said, "Where are the people of the Pan family?"

"Let's go!" Yu Ge replied, "Liu Xunyi didn't believe his words, and threatened the housekeeper's life to force us to release ......"

"What?" the man in black looked stunned, "how can you ......"

"That's it!" Jia Fu interrupted listlessly, "The matter has come to this, it's useless to complain, it's important to do business for Xiangye......"

"This ......"

The man in black hesitated for a moment, cast a disdainful glance at Liu Xunyi, and teased: "I thought that Lord Liu was a man who was upright, but he didn't expect to do such a thing that went back on his word. Dare to ask Lord Liu, what are the plans for tonight......"

"The plan remains the same. Liu Xunyi turned a deaf ear to the ridicule of the man in black, and said lightly, "I let go of the four members of the Pan family, just to have peace of mind." ”

"Okay!" the man in black nodded suspiciously, "I hope Lord Liu won't break his promise this time." ”

Liu Xunyi took a deep look at the black-clothed man with poor eyes, and then at Feng Tianba, who was eager to be a horse, and then weighed the Wuji Sword in his hand, and the corners of his mouth raised a hint of a smile, as if relieved, as if resolute, as if mocking, and as if ruthless...... So he walked out of the courtyard without looking back.

"Lord Liu, no matter where you go now, don't forget to ...... tonight."

However, before the man in black finished speaking, Liu Xunyi's figure had disappeared into the vast night.

"What's going on?"

When Liu Xunyi walked away, the man in black with a sinking face turned his angry eyes on Yu Ge and Miao Zhi, and scolded: "You know Xiangye's thoughts, why did you let the people of the Pan family leave?"

"It's the meaning of old decay...... Jia Fu slowly got up under Feng Tianba's support, although his movements were very careful, but he still touched the wound on his shoulder, sweating on his forehead in pain, and grinning his teeth, "It's not that old decay is greedy for life and afraid of death, it's really ...... Compared with Xiangye's major events, the lives of the four members of the Pan family are not worth mentioning at all. The people of the Pan family can be caught again if they run away, but once they fall out with Liu Xunyi, not only will the plan made by Xiangye be wasted, but it will also cause endless disasters. ”

"Not bad!" Miao Zhi echoed, "Liu Xunyi is now a madman bent on death, daring to do anything, and has no scruples. In front of him, we can only compromise. Because once he is provoked, just a few of us can't stop him at all, in case he runs out and talks nonsense and slanders Xiangye, won't he cause trouble in vain?"

"That's it!!" the man in black interrupted with a wave of his hand rather impatiently, "Feng Tianba, you send the big butler back to heal." Yu Ge, Miao Zhi, you come with me. ”

"Where?"

"Xiangye's secret order, let us secretly monitor Liu Xunyi's every move. The man in black had a cold look in his eyes, and said word by word, "After he assassinates the privy councilor, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, as long as he lives...... We have to find an opportunity to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and Xiangye doesn't like to give people a handle. ”

When the man in black said this, Yu Guang casually glanced at the restless Feng Tianba, as if observing his reaction.

"The best ending tonight is that Liu Xunyi and the privy deputy will die together, and we will take action. The man in black said in a condensed voice, "But if things change, we will do whatever it takes to solve Liu Xunyi." As you just said, this person is a madman who is bent on death, and he can do anything, which can be seen from his private release of the four members of the Pan family. is so capricious and uncontrollable, how can Xiangye let him live in the world with peace of mind?"

......

The stars and the moon are hidden, and the night is quiet.

At that time, Qin Wei, who was gradually falling asleep, was suddenly awakened by a rapid knock on the door, and the arrival of an uninvited guest completely broke the tranquility of Tianji Pavilion.

"Who?"

"Returning to the Hou Ye, it's ......"

"It's me, Bai Jin!"

Before the dragon slayer returned, Bai Jin's rough voice suddenly sounded.

Qin Wei frowned, first looked at Lan Qi who was sleeping beside him, and then looked at the longing figure outside the door, and a trace of displeasure appeared between his eyebrows.

"What?"

"On the orders of Lord Qian, I have something to discuss with Lord Qin. ”

Hearing this, Qin Wei's eyes changed, and he hurriedly got up and lowered the bed curtain at the same time, and then quickly stepped forward to open the door.

As soon as he saw Qin Wei, Bai Jin could no longer care about the dragon slaying and tiger slaughtering, grabbed Qin Wei's arm, and rushed into the room in a hurry.

"Master Hou, Lord Bai, he ......"

"It's okay, you're guarding outside!"

Qin Wei nodded lightly at the embarrassed Dragon Slayer and Tiger Slayer, signaling that they didn't have to interfere, and at the same time inadvertently shook off Bai Jin's hand, while arranging the folded sleeves, he walked to the table and poured a cup of tea for himself, and asked casually: "In the middle of the night, why is Lord Bai so anxious?"

"What else is more important than Liu Xunyi right now?" Bai Jin said angrily, "You should know what happened in Jingyun Pavilion yesterday, right?"

As soon as he heard the words "Liu Xunyi", Qin Wei's plain eyes quietly changed, and the hand holding the teacup hovered in mid-air, and the whole person seemed to freeze instantly, standing at the table in a daze for a long time without any reaction.

"The matter of Jingyun Pavilion...... I don't know. Qin Wei muttered absentmindedly, "The people below wanted to tell me, but ...... I don't want to hear it. ”

After speaking, Qin Wei, who was in a state of turmoil, swallowed the tea in his hand, and then threw the teacup on the table with a "bang", and his tone was quite impatient: "I have a word with Lord Qian first, about Brother Liu...... Liu Xunyi's matter, I don't want to interfere. ”

"At this time, at that time, things have changed now, and Lord Qian has to ask me to ask you for help. ”

"What's wrong?" Qin Wei raised his eyebrows and said tentatively, "Didn't the emperor issue an edict?"

"The question is not whether the emperor has issued an order, but whether Liu Xunyi is willing to obey the order......"

Bai Jin told Qin Wei what happened in Jingyun Pavilion yesterday in a few words, which made him shocked and dumbfounded.

"You said Liu Xunyi...... Dare to disobey the holy decree and abscond with the little prince hostage?" Qin Wei couldn't believe it, "This ...... How is this possible?"

"This is the case, why do you need to explain?" Bai Jin said indignantly, "Right now, not only Liu Xunyi's whereabouts are unknown, but even our carefully designed 'luring the snake out of the hole' has been disturbed by the Eastern Mansion. Tonight, Lord Qian was urgently summoned into the palace by the emperor, and it is very likely to be related to Liu Xunyi's absconding. Just outside the palace gate, Lord Qian told me a thousand times, and I will definitely consult with you as soon as possible. ”

"This ......" Bai Jin's words made Qin Wei confused, and he had mixed feelings, "What does Lord Qian mean?"

"It's not Lord Qian's meaning, but the emperor's meaning. Bai Jin corrected, "The granary of Xingyuan Sanfu was robbed, so that the people's resentment was boiling, and yesterday the imperial court determined that Liu Xunyi was the culprit in front of the public, and he had opened the bow and had not turned back." If he cannot be arrested as soon as possible and beheaded for public display, lest a popular uprising be provoked and the chaos will be out of control. ”

"You ...... What do you want me to do?" Qin Wei's heart had already set off turbulent waves, but he remained silent on the surface.

"Liu Xunyi is your friend, and you know him better than anyone else. Bai Jin asked rhetorically, "Now it's not what we want you to do, but what can you do for us?"

"This ......" Qin Wei frowned, pondering bitterly, "With what I know about him, he chose to flee for his life, expressing that he no longer believes that the imperial court can administer justice for him." In this case, the next two paths are nothing more than 'revenge' and 'forbearance'. Liu Xunyi has always known the righteousness and will never seek revenge from the emperor, so it is very likely that he will leave the country and remain incognito from now on......"

"If that happens, we'll be in big trouble. "Bai Jin is embarrassed," the matter of Jingyun Pavilion is strongly advocated by the Xifu, and now the emperor and the court are pushed to the forefront but cannot be ended, don't say that Lord Qian is speechless, and even the privy envoy will suffer. ”

As for this, Bai Jin's eyes rolled, and he asked meaningfully: "Lord Qian, let me ask you, is there any way to lead Liu Xunyi out......?" A code of contact between your brothers. ”

"No!" Qin Wei replied without thinking, "If he believed me, he would have asked me for help." Since he didn't look for me, it shows that he doesn't trust me anymore......"

"Really?"

"What do you mean?" Facing Bai Jin's malicious questioning, Qin Wei couldn't help but turn pale, "Don't you believe me?"

"No, no, no, I just ...... It's a pity. ”

Qin Wei was stunned, as if he didn't understand what Bai Jin meant, and asked rhetorically, "What is a pity?"

"I'm sorry for you!" Bai Jin's expression changed, and his gaze at Qin Wei became extremely cunning.

"What do you mean?" Qin Wei vaguely felt a hint of something bad from Bai Jin's strange attitude, and said cautiously, "Does Lord Qian have any new plans...... Didn't tell me?"

"Yes. ”

"What's the plan?"

"You once said that Zhao Yuan's kindness to Liu Xunyi is as deep as the sea, and Liu Xunyi's affection for Zhao Yuan is deep. Bai Jin said faintly, "If you let Liu Xunyi know that Zhao Yuan was killed by you, do you think he will go and return to seek revenge on you?"

"Hiss!" Qin Wei instantly understood Bai Jin's voice, and was shocked and angry for a while, and asked, "You can't use the Pan family, so you want to use me as bait to lure out Liu Xunyi?" Do you know that after this trouble, the emperor will definitely investigate me for the crime of murdering the imperial court officials, not to mention that Zhao Yuan is a relative of the emperor, this matter is ......?"

"Abandon the car to protect the handsome, and Lord Qian is also very helpless. Bai Jin was not surprised, and replied lightly, "I just gave you a chance, but you can't find Liu Xunyi, we can only make this decision......"

"I'm sorry!" Qin Wei angrily pointed at the hypocritical Bai Jin, and threatened sharply, "You don't want to cross the river and tear down the bridge! If you don't let me feel better, I'd rather die than pull you on my back...... Once the East Window incident happens, I will reveal your conspiracy to murder the prime minister and the East Mansion in front of the emperor. When the time comes, no one will want to stay out of it. ”

"Are you threatening Lord Qian and Xifu?"

"No! I'm just looking to protect myself!"

"You ......"

"Wonderful! Wonderful! Watch you dog-eat-dog kill each other...... It's even more exciting than watching a show!"

"Bang!"

Just as Qin Wei and Bai Jin were going toe-to-toe, an eerie and terrifying laughter suddenly came from outside the door.

At the same time, the closed door was kicked open, and a cold wind swept in, with a cold expression, and Liu Xunyi, who was full of murderous intent, appeared in front of the two.

......
