The rain finally stopped after nightfall, Chang'an City was full of wet water, and the outside of the Great Wall was washed muddy by the rain, but fortunately the rain stopped in time, otherwise it would have set off a flood.

The clouds and mist dissipated, and a bright moon hung in the silent night sky, blooming alone with its dim brilliance, and it seemed a little lonely.

"You're drinking again?"

Mo Xingxiao stepped on the moon, looked at Wei Qijian with a drunken face, and asked in a low voice.

"Didn't drink it. Wei Qijian shook his head.

Smelling the smell of wine on his body, Mo Xingxiao couldn't help frowning, and immediately walked towards the outside of the village.

"You're going out so late?" Wei Qijian couldn't help but ask as he watched Mo Xingxiao put on his night clothes and wear a hat on his head.

After all, she broke her sword, and under this Chang'an City, it is always right to be careful.

"Go meet a few old friends and settle some old grievances by the way. Mo Xingxiao said calmly.

"Do you need my help?" Wei Qijian said, the drunkenness on his face suddenly disappeared, and he returned to the vicissitudes of life.

Mo Xingxiao shook his head, "No." ”

Mo Xingxiao turned around and left, leaving only a shallow footprint in the mud along the way.

Inside the Daming Palace.

"The Star Festival has begun, right?" Li Nie asked as he looked at Yang Yue, a complex color flashing in his eyes.

"It was the first night. Yang Yue nodded.

The palace was illuminated by the lights, but as the autumn wind blew, there was an indescribable chill. It's autumn, and the night is as cold as water, even an eighth-order cultivator actually feels that this night is a little cold.

It's not the night that's cool, it's the heart.

"Recently, the ghost market has ......" Yang Yue was silent for a long time and couldn't help but say.

"Mo Zhifeng has already told me. Li Nie said in a deep voice, "Those people in the Zhou family are a little uneasy, now Zhou Qixuan is hiding in Yangzhou and doesn't dare to come back, thinking that it is the territory of the King of Dingjiang, I don't dare to do anything to him?"

Yang Yue frowned, and asked in a low voice, "Do you need to find a time to clean up the ghost market?"

"No!" Li Nie hurriedly shouted in a deep voice, "The ghost market can't be cleared, we still need it to contain the movements of those three town kings." If there is a ghost market, they will not dare to mess around. ”

Li Nie let out a long sigh, "Over the years, in order to clear the hidden dangers of the imperial court, we have also lost a lot of manpower. Nowadays, the imperial court seems to be powerful, but there are not many people who can actually use it. You should understand this, the remnants of the Sky Sword Village may be able to become a sharp sword for us. ”

Yang Yue nodded, she naturally knew the current situation.

It's not that no one is available, it's just that there are very few people who can really be trusted.

Otherwise, the prince in front of him who covered the sky with one hand would not be able to find Mo Zhifeng in everything. There are indeed few subordinates who are willing to become a good dog in the imperial court like Mo Zhifeng.

Even if there were, they would need to defend the territory, and they would not be able to move easily unless they had to.

"One more thing. Yang Yue thought for a while and said in a low voice.

"Hmm. Li Nie nodded.

Now that he has been in retreat for a long time, state affairs can only be handed over to Yang Yue to deal with, after all, if this dynasty wants to be more stable for a long time, he must break through the ninth order, otherwise there will be endless troubles......

As early as half a year ago, the dynasty was a vat of turbid water that took advantage of the opportunity to dirt, and all kinds of things that happened in the past half a year were tantamount to completely muddying this vat of turbid water, and those small fish and shrimp would also take advantage of this opportunity to do some things that they didn't dare to do on weekdays.

"According to the report from the Nanjun scouts, the Spirit Clan envoy has left Nanjun, and it is expected that they will arrive after the stars are over. Yang Yue said softly.

"Spirit Clan Emissary ......" Li Nie said, and couldn't help but let out a long breath, "Is she the only one who comes?"

"Yes. Yang Yue nodded.

"Good life care, good life hospitality, although the Spirit Clan has been rejected from Nanjun, we can't slack off. Li Nie said in a deep voice.

"It's nature. Yang Yue nodded.

In Chang'an tonight, many people have not slept.

"The child greets his mother. ”

Li Jing walked to an ordinary courtyard in the deep palace, and the maid with the lantern was also waiting at the door with interest, looking at the young man in luxurious clothes beside him and couldn't walk in.

"Jing'er. "The courtyard is very deserted, except for a noble woman, there is only a maid who brings tea and water, and the palace is so quiet that you can hear even a needle falling to the ground.

"Mother, what's wrong?" Li Jing looked at it and couldn't help asking, "Why is there only one maid in such a big palace?"

Yao Guifei couldn't help frowning, looked at the young man in gorgeous clothes in front of her and asked in a deep voice, "It's the queen's will." ”

"Queen Mother?" Li Jing's face was a little ugly, and he hurriedly asked, "Why is this?"

Yao Guifei stared at Li Jing in front of her, couldn't help but sigh, and asked in a low voice, "Did you send the person who assassinated the five princes?"

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head, "I don't care about the child." ”

Li Jing put on a serious face, and his tone was also very serious. But knowing that the son Mo Ruomu, Yao Guifei couldn't guess what Li Jing was thinking at this moment?

"The fifth prince has a relationship with Ta Ge Xing. Yao Guifei said solemnly.

"Singing?" Li Jing couldn't believe it, revealing an even more shocked face, and a trace of horror flashed in his eyebrows. He really doesn't lie, if Mo Zhifeng was present at this moment, his words and deeds would have been exposed.

"Jing'er, I know that you are bound to win the position of the crown prince, but you must be careful in your actions, especially in this deep palace. You have been in the palace for more than ten years, and you should know very well that everyone wants to climb up, as long as you don't climb to the seat of that dragon chair, you may die at the hands of others at any time. The same is true for the five princes, not to mention why they want to help him, but now that he has a backer, we can't act rashly. ”

"Mother taught. Li Jing couldn't help but lower his head, thinking about it carefully, he really didn't handle this matter properly, he was anxious.

Yao Guifei suddenly showed a smile and said in a relaxed tone: "You can rest assured." I won't let others take away my son's things easily, the crown prince, no one can snatch it from you!"

Li Ziyan was in the room, and there was a faint wind blowing outside the window, making the candle flame shake and shake.

"If you go to the Stars Club, your Highness's safety will not be taken into account. Although Chang'an is good, it is a place of right and wrong for His Highness. If something happens in the palace, His Royal Highness can use this letter to go to the post station outside Chang'an City, and hand it over to a disciple who caress the qin, and he will arrange for His Highness to leave Chang'an. This is likely to lose a lot for His Highness, but it is also a conservative move. ”

Li Ziyan read this short letter four or five times, and his heart could not calm down for a long time.

Leaving Chang'an, why wouldn't he want to?

But as a prince, once he leaves Chang'an, what it means, he can't be clearer in his heart.

Leaving may mean never coming back.

Do you want to study for the rest of your life?

Li Ziyan fell into confusion, at this moment he inadvertently thought of the young man in Chang'an East Lane, if he was there, maybe there would be some tricks to pass on. But now that the former is also in the Stars Club, what should he do?

Chang'an Deep Lane, an eerie street underground, is still brightly lit.

There is no day and night here, this is the ghost market of Chang'an, as long as you mix here for a long time, you can harvest countless oil and water. But the premise is that you have to have a life to live, that's fundamental.

"Miss, aren't you resting at such a late hour?" a blind old woman walked up to the girl in the red dress on crutches.

"After the Star Meeting, it is the time when the envoy of the Spirit Clan comes to the court, at that time, what will be the movement of the imperial court? How long can this ghost market in Chang'an survive?" The woman in the red dress couldn't help but shake her head and said, "Now that Zhou Qixuan is shrinking in Yangzhou and doesn't dare to come back, the imperial court must have made a move that makes him afraid." On the night of Chang'an City, he pulled out his life-chasing sword, which had already violated the bottom line of countless powerful people, and it was very difficult for him to return to Chang'an. ”

"Why should the eldest lady worry?" the blind woman whispered, "Since he, Zhou Qixuan, has a life to go to Yangzhou, he will definitely have a life to return." Miss, have you forgotten? In fate, he Zhou Qixuan has nobles to help. ”

"This nobleman, is it the young man in the East Lane of Chang'an?" the girl in the red dress couldn't help but ask.
