[The seventy-first year of the Great Qiankang Dynasty, March 26, Youshi, in the front hall of Xufu]

Xu Ke, Zhao Wang Li Yi, and Nangong Buyu dined together in Deyue Tower, and under the repeated questioning of his senior brother Li Yi, he had to tell Mao Jiaojiao that she was hiding in Cuiyun Tower at this time.

Neither of them expected that the cat demon that had caused the entire Chang'an City to panic would hide in Cuiyun Tower. So, Li Yi asked Xu Ke, how do you know that Mao Jiaojiao is hiding in Cuiyun Tower?

Xu Ke was reluctant to mention the relationship between Hu Yiyi and Mao Jiaojiao, so he told a lie. He said that Mao Jiaojiao was afraid of the prestige of Prince Zhao and Murong Gongzi, and at the same time, in order to practice the 'art of harmony' with those pleasure-seeking men, so that he could hide in Cuiyun Tower.

Nangong couldn't help but praise after hearing this: "Wonderful! Mao Jiaojiao's move not only facilitated her 'hunting for beauty', but also evaded the search and arrest of people from all sides, which is really a clever plan." ”

Everyone knows that this Cuiyun Building is the most famous brothel in the entire Chang'an City, not only the best business, the most men in and out, but also located in the middle of Chang'an City. The so-called 'the more dangerous the place, the safest place'! Naturally, in Nangong Buyu's mind, this trick can be called brilliant!

However, Li Yi couldn't believe Xu Ke's words, he immediately asked Xu Ke, since you already knew the whereabouts of the cat demon, why didn't you tell us earlier?

Xu Ke hesitated for a long time, and finally made up another reason. He said that he had just learned about Mao Jiaojiao's hiding place, and the person who told him the truth, it was inconvenient for him to confide in the other party's name.

Li Yi saw that his junior brother was talking hesitantly and hesitantly at this time, and his heart was a little unhappy. He knew that the person who told Xu Ke the news must be the "two" in Xu Ke's family. And Xu Ke spoke so secretly, he must have wanted to protect the two big demons in the family.

Li Yi was angry with this young junior brother in his heart, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. What a clever way this "alloy fairy" Mao Jiaojiao hid himself! With the capable men and horses of various yamen in the capital, he almost turned over Chang'an City inside and out, and he could not find the slightest trace of Mao Jiaojiao. Xu Ke knew that Mao Jiaojiao was hiding in the center of Chang'an City, but he refused to say it clearly. If it is really what his demon friends in Xu's mansion said, then the relationship between the two big demons and Mao Jiaojiao must not be ordinary. How could Xu Ke not be worried about staying with such a demon every day? However, Li Yi was hindered by the face of his junior brother, and he was not too responsible for him......

Nangong stood up silently, planning to lead the men and horses to immediately rush to Cuiyun Tower to arrest him. Xu Ke hurriedly dragged him back and helped him sit down.

Xu Ke then said to Li Yijin, now, since Mao Jiaojiao's "Harmony Technique" is just a "slight punishment" to the man in Cuiyun Building, it is better for us not to embarrass her for the time being, and wait and see for a while, if the cat demon still does not change his temperament and harms people again, it will not be too late to arrest her......

Li Yi had the heart to say two words to his junior brother, but he couldn't bear to speak, he waved his hand at Nangong silently, and only ordered Nangong to send someone to pay close attention to the movement in Cuiyun Tower, and the rest didn't say anything.

For Li Yi, now that he knows where the cat demon is hiding, there is no need to worry about other things. Fortunately, in the past few days, Chang'an City has been calm, if it is really as Xu Ke said, the cat demon has changed his personality and no longer harms people, but he may not have to kill her.

What really worried Li Yi was Lu Huoli, who came to Chang'an with Mao Jiaojiao.

Afterwards, the three of them hurriedly ate the wine and food, and then went out of the Deyue Tower, Xu Ke and Nangong silently said goodbye to Li Yi.

Li Yi looked at Xu Ke's departing figure, and kept shaking his head in his heart.

Li Yi thought to himself, after all, the junior brother is young, he doesn't know the defense of demons, and he thinks that the demon clan has coveted the Divine Continent for a long time, and is plotting to plunder the living space of human beings every day, but the junior brother is depressed in the small love of his children and can't extricate himself! I hope that he will grow mentally in the future, and he can gradually realize the principle of "taking the great righteousness and giving up the small feelings".

After lunch, Li Yi was not worried about the safety of his fourth brother, so he immediately changed his route to the north and walked towards Li Jin's Wei Palace......

After Xu Ke and Nangong Buyu returned to Tsing Yi Wei, Nangong Buyu called the chief Baihu Gu Xiangxiang of the Bei'an Ping Division and ordered him to personally lead people to closely monitor the movements of Cuiyun Tower. When Gu Caixiang asked what was going on, Nangong's face suddenly sank, and he said, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

Xu Ke immediately smiled and said, Brother Nangong, your official authority as an adult of a thousand households is really not small!

Nangong replied with a smile without saying anything, being in the public gate, there is no way to do it! If you want to control this group of subordinates, if you don't use some means to scare and scare them, none of these people will do their best!

On the afternoon of this day, originally, Xu Ke was going to go out to patrol the city with Nangong Buyu. However, at this time, Nangong was silent and knew that Mao Jiaojiao was hiding in Cuiyun Tower, so he said that it was no longer meaningful to patrol the city at this time, so the two simply stayed in the exit room of the official room, each made a cup of good tea, and sat and chatted with each other.

After half an hour, Xu Ke suddenly felt a sense of sleepiness, and Nangong let him enter the inner room of his official room and lie down with his clothes. Xu Ke only felt that the big bed in the inner room was extremely comfortable, and he turned over and fell asleep immediately......

In the haze, Xu Ke had a dream. In his dream, he saw Hu Yiyi, Yiqing, Murong Yan, and Yao Zibei all by his side. The women laughed and chattered, and the words kept talking. Among them, Hu Yiyi is warm and affectionate, Yiqing speaks straightforwardly, Murong Yan is shy and quiet, and Yao Zibei is cheerful and active.

I saw that Yao Zibei would come over to talk to him from time to time, and asked after a while:

"Brother Xu, is Xiaobei's cooking delicious?"

"Delicious, delicious!"

She would shake her arm again and ask coquettishly:

"Brother Xu, is Xiaobei good-looking?"

"Looks good!"

After a while, she stared at herself with her eyes intended, and asked affectionately:

"Brother Xu, are you willing to marry me?"

"Yes, yes, I do!"

......

After a while, the women pushed him into a new room that had been prepared, and by his bedside sat a bride dressed in red. The bride also wore a large red hijab on her head.

With joy and excitement, he slowly lifted the red hijab on the bride's head......

"It's you!"

Xu Ke was in his dream, but he saw that the bride sitting on the edge of the bed was not Yao Zibei. The woman's eyes are like silk, her face is powdery, her face is fragrant, and her face is very beautiful, it is exactly the "and alloy fairy" Mao Jiaojiao who met him in the south of the city more than ten days ago!

Xu Ke was startled and woke up immediately.

At this time, the sky outside the window has gradually dimmed, and it is already unitary time. Xu Ke never thought that he slept for a whole afternoon in this good sleep.

Xu Ke walked to the signing room outside, but saw that Nangong was silent and was no longer in the room. At this time, it was already the moment when Tsing Yi Wei was on duty, and Nangong must have returned home. Xu Ke straightened his clothes, immediately walked out of the door of the office, and went home from below.

After Xu Ke returned home, Yao Zibei went down to the kitchen in person, cooked a table of good dishes in a few moments, and came to the front hall one by one. Although there are many subordinates in the Xu Mansion, they serve Xu Ke to eat and live, but Yao Zibei has always done it himself, and Xu Ke is not surprised.

At that moment, Xu Ke sat around the table in the front hall with Shu Hattian, Zhu Wuneng, Hu Yiyi, and Yao Zibei, and everyone shared a happy dinner.

Xu Ke remembered the strange dream he had just now, and couldn't help but look sideways at Yao Zibei on the side. I saw that Xiaobei at this time only cared about eating and drinking with his head down, and he didn't notice himself at all. Xu Ke couldn't help but wonder in his heart, why was Xiaobei so indifferent to me from this morning to this moment?

After dinner, Yao Zibei got up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, Shu hattian pulled Zhu Wuneng to the front yard to play, Hu Yiyi signaled with her eyes, and asked Xu Ke to follow her to the Wenyu Pavilion in the back garden.

As soon as the two sat down, before Xu Ke could ask, he heard Hu Yiyi say:

"Xiao Wuxi, it seems that the marriage between you and Sister Zibei still can't be done!"

"Why?" Xu Ke immediately asked.

Hu Yiyi sighed up to the sky and said quietly:

"This time, it's her own unwillingness to marry you......"

"Sister Hu, didn't we all say it last night? Wuxian doesn't care about the child in Xiaobei's belly. ”

"You don't care, she cares!"

"It's ...... Why?"

When the two of them said this, they couldn't help but be speechless, and sat stiffly in the Wenyu Pavilion again.

Xu Ke thought to himself that Xiaobei was pregnant at this time, and she was unwilling to kill the fetus in her womb. Let her marry the child's biological father, she seems to be even more reluctant. If so, she won't marry me again, and by then, the child in her belly will be getting bigger and bigger, which will call her a girl in the boudoir, but how can she see people?

He thought about it, but he couldn't guess why Xiaobei suddenly changed his mind again and was unwilling to marry him. When he was hesitating, Hu Yiyi reluctantly spoke:

"Xiao Wuxi, you don't care about it so much! Anyway, the night before yesterday, my sister promised you to marry, and you didn't say it as a sister! In the future, you will never mention the matter of marrying Zibei's sister again!"

"But, Sister Hu, what ...... What about the child in Xiaobei's belly?" Xu Kewu asked again, uneasy.

"Sister Zibei can't have children if she doesn't get married?" Hu Yiyi's face turned cold, and she said awe-inspiringly:

"Who said that a woman has to marry someone before she can have a child! Our Zibei does not marry, but still gives birth at home! Sister Zibei has an innocent life, even if she is pregnant for ten months and gives birth to a baby, she is still an innocent person! If anyone dares to chew his tongue behind his back and say bad things about our Zibei, I will be the first to cut off his tongue!"

Since Xu Ke met Hu Yiyi, he has always seen her speak gently and elegantly, and her demeanor is gentle and graceful, but when he saw Hu Yiyi today, he suddenly put on an awe-inspiring and inviolable look, and couldn't help but be stunned. At this moment, there was a trace of frosty anger on Hu Yiyi's face, and she looked at Xu Ke coldly, as if she was bullying Yao Zibei, it was none other than him......

"Okay, okay, then listen to my sister's orders!" Xu Ke said busily.

However, Xu Ke didn't think so, just imagine that in the world of Qianguo today, which woman can get pregnant and have children without being married? Etiquette rules are like this, even if you want to treat them as air, they will sometimes be like a mountain, overwhelming you. At that time, if Yao Zibei really gives birth unmarried, and has to slowly raise this fatherless child, even if he and Hu Yiyi will not care, once the news comes out, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be people pointing fingers and talking about it behind his back. Can you cut off all of these people's tongues? Even if you wanted to, you might not be able to cut them?

Hu Yiyi didn't pay attention to Xu Ke's thoughts, she just dropped a sentence lightly, and then turned around and walked towards the Hazelnut House in the backyard, without looking back......

"During this period of time, Zibei must borrow the treasure land of your Xu Mansion to raise the baby with peace of mind. After she gave birth at term, I took their mother and son out of Chang'an and went to live in seclusion on my Bibo Island. Don't worry, even if the news of Zibei's sister giving birth out of wedlock is spread, it won't be able to miss your future!"

"This ...... Sister Hu, what do I mean......" Xu Ke spread his hands and said helplessly.

However, at this time, Hu Yiyi had already walked through the corridor in the backyard and returned to her hazelnut center.
