By noon, there was still no response from the Heavenly Oracle Temple.

Outside the hall, none of the civil and military officials left. However, some officials who were in poor health were gradually showing signs of exhaustion, and their expressions began to be in a trance.

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from the crowd.

The group of people who looked a little dazed subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, and saw the head of the hundred officials, an old man in a flower armor who looked like a scribe without official clothes, his eyes were closed, and he fell to the ground softly.

Apparently fainted due to physical exhaustion.

"Emperor!"

There was an exclamation, and then the officials were shocked, and there was an uproar outside the hall.

In the Heavenly Oracle Palace, hearing the sudden noise outside the hall, Xiao Zhe frowned, and subconsciously looked up in the direction of the hall door, looking slightly worried.

Something seems to be going on outside.

Xiao Wutian also frowned, but he didn't say anything, and continued to take care of himself and bury his head in reviewing the folds.

Suddenly, wind chimes rang in the hall, and the figure in the shadows flashed slightly.

Xiao Wutian raised his eyebrows slightly, then stood up and walked behind the screen.

Xiao Zhe didn't squint and continued to flip through the folds. As half of the master of the imperial capital, he knew that the wind chimes were not real wind chimes, but secret guard passwords.

And the Imperial Capital Secret Guard is directly under the control of the Imperial Capital Emperor.

After a while, Xiao Wutian returned to the bookcase, with a shallow smile on the corner of his mouth, and his mood seemed to have become very good.

Xiao Zhe had a little doubt in his heart, but he didn't ask. The most taboo thing in the royal family is to know too much, even if it is father and son.

It was not to Xiao Zhe's surprise, Xiao Wutian obviously didn't have the intention to share it with him, but after sitting down, he suddenly said calmly: "Zhe'er, Master Liu has been unwell recently, and you can go to comfort your father tomorrow." ”

It is natural that the emperor can only be called a teacher by the emperor, and it can only be the emperor Liu Ziyu.

Xiao Zhe looked up at Xiao Wutian in some amazement. Although the emperor is already in his sixtieth year, his body is excellent. Besides, in the early dynasty, he obviously saw that Liu Shi's complexion was not bad, how could he suddenly feel unwell? Immediately, he reacted again, he really lost the courtesy of the monarch and the minister, and hurriedly lowered his head, forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart, and said respectfully: "Erchen understands. ”

"Hmm. Xiao Wutian didn't care about Xiao Zhe's reckless intentions, nodded with satisfaction, and then waved his hand: "There's nothing to do with you here, so you can retreat first." ”

Xiao Zhe frowned, "Father, the hundred officials outside the hall ......"

Xiao Wutian frowned again, and said impatiently: "Tell them that Lone will give them an answer in three days, let them disperse." ”

"But my father ......," Xiao Zhe wanted to say something more.

Xiao Wutian waved his hand a little irritably, "If they still want to kneel there, let them kneel." There you go. ”

Xiao Zhe's brows furrowed even tighter. Father is like this, but he has no intention of regressing, and it seems that a head-on collision with the Ethereal Tower is inevitable.

I couldn't help but sigh slightly in my heart, Xiao Zhe could only bow down and salute: "Yes, the son of the minister is retired." ”

Xiao Wutian nodded impatiently.

Xiao Zhe obediently bowed down and walked out of the palace gate, then turned around and left.

Xiao Wutian raised his head and looked at Xiao Zhe until he disappeared into the Heavenly Oracle Palace, then his brows stretched slightly, and a smile of unknown meaning hung on the corner of his mouth.

......

The blue sky, the quiet expanse of the earth, the stream coming from afar, converge in front of the peaceful and calm village, feeding the hundreds of people who have lived here for generations, and extending into the distance.

There is a small pavilion next to the stream, which is simple and beautiful, and the stone tables and stone benches in the ancient pavilion are complete, and it is very elegant against the background of the murmuring of the stream. I don't know if the villagers of the small village have the intention to provide a place for passers-by to rest, or if this is the case since the existence of the small stone pavilion.

At this time, in the ancient pavilion, a figure was sitting quietly on the stone bench, holding a thin rod in his hand, leisurely fishing.

The figure was wearing a simple white shirt, with a gentle complexion and an indifferent temperament, and he looked like he was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old, very young. He seems to be calm and ordinary, but just sitting like this, it gives people a sense of abyss, which makes people feel ashamed.

In the distance, a man in black swept over, and afterimages were pulled out behind him. Immediately, I saw the man stop abruptly outside the ancient pavilion, and then stood quietly.

After a few moments, the rod in the angler's hand shook slightly.

The angler smiled slightly, and then saw his hand shake slightly, and the silver line crossed a graceful arc in the air, and then only heard a muffled sound of 'poof', and a large fish weighing more than a pound fell into the bamboo basket beside him accurately.

The angler smiled again, and then he didn't know what to think, smiled slightly, and shook his head self-deprecatingly.

Then he turned his head to look at the man in black, and said with a gentle smile: "Chenfeng, here, sit." ”

"Your Highness. Chen Feng bowed slightly to the young man, but he didn't mean to sit down according to his words.

The young man didn't force it, and continued: "Since you are here, things must be about the same, right?"

"Hmm. Chen Feng nodded slightly, "The Imperial Capital has already received the news, but I don't know what the result will be." ”

The young man nodded in satisfaction, and then skillfully began to cast the bait and throw the line, and said casually: "Chenfeng, you said that if the fish knows that I am not sprinkling food, but bait, will it bite the hook?"

Chen Feng thought for a moment and said calmly: "If it is really hungry, it will still bite the hook." ”

The young man nodded, "So I just have to wait quietly." ”

"Your Highness is wise. The young man in black also nodded, and then reminded: "However, should Your Highness go back?" ”

The young man nodded again, "This is natural, the imperial capital should be lively for a while after that, wouldn't it arouse suspicion if I wasn't there?"

In the Listening Wind Inn, Xiao Feng, Xiao Tianyue, and Zhu Qingshan sat across the table, chatting with each other and drinking tea leisurely, which was pleasant.

There was no indication that the three of them were waiting for someone.

I don't know how long later, there was a sound of the door opening next door, followed by a 'bang' and a violent slam slam.

It seems that the person next door is not in a very good mood.

Xiao Feng shook his head a little helplessly, then stood up and smiled at Zhu Qingshan: "Please wait a while, Brother Zhu, I will go out for a while." ”

Zhu Qingshan was slightly stunned, and then nodded, "Brother Xiao can do it himself." ”

Xiao Feng smiled apologetically at him, and then calmly walked out of the room.

After a few breaths, there was a knock on the door next door, which was very polite.

Xiao Tianyue and Zhu Qingshan were stunned, it seemed that the person who was waiting in Xiao Feng's mouth had already arrived.

Zhu Qingshan's mood became a little apprehensive.

After a while, Xiao Feng returned to the guest room, and his expression did not change much from before he went out.

Zhu Qingshan stood up a little nervously, "Brother Xiao,......"

Xiao Feng naturally knew what he was going to say, nodded comfortingly at him, and then said: "Sister Ling's whereabouts are already known, and there is no danger, so I wish my brother can rest assured." However, this matter is a bit complicated, and it is inconvenient to mention it to Brother Zhu. It's not as good as this, if Brother Zhu can trust me, and the matter will be dealt with below, can it? .

Zhu Qingshan was slightly stunned, a little unresponsive, and then his brows furrowed, a little displeased, "Then when will Zhu Mou see my little sister." ”

Xiao Feng said calmly: "You can pick up people later tomorrow." ”
