"Lord Lu is saying that Jian Chen is not dead?" In the emperor's imperial study, Yan Songhe was surprised when he heard Lu Qingsong's return.

Lu Qingsong lowered his head and did not speak, but his expression was very complicated.

"Lu Qingsong!" the emperor was furious on the dragon chair, "What the hell is going on with you! You don't know why your guards were taken away by Wulin Yuan, and you don't know why they were killed by his master, and now even the news that he is not dead is told by the Wulin gang that you are being kept in the dark and played by those people in the rivers and lakes, and you have been in charge of Pingyang Mansion for so many years, and this is how you do things for me!"

Not only was he angry at the news that Jian Chen was not dead, but the emperor was also angry at Lu Qingsong's behavior in this conflict, and what made him even more angry was that he had dispatched thousands of Praetorian Guards and carefully arranged to capture Shangguan Yunrui, but he still returned empty-handed.

"If Jian Chen hadn't died, why didn't he show up today!" Yan Songhe had long been dissatisfied with Lu Qingsong's behavior of intentionally or unintentionally helping Wulin Yuan in front of the yamen today, and now he knew that Chen Jian, who was the initiator, was not dead, and said in a fierce tone, "He threw you, an adult, on the cusp of the storm, and he hid freely!"

"Perhaps, Chen Huwei didn't know about Pingyang Mansion, and perhaps, he was not healed from his injuries and could not come. Lu Qingsong explained.

"Whether he really can't come, or whether he can't hide, I'll find out when he comes back and asks. Yan Songhe said.

Ask him, can he answer? Lu Qingsong didn't know the bottom in his heart. How many times has Chen Jian not answered his own questions.

"Lord Lu, it's not me who said you, your own guards should be well controlled, and every time they are so unclear, it really makes me suspect his intentions to join the imperial court at the beginning!" The emperor stared at Lu Qingsong, his face was very ugly.

The emperor's words, Lu Qingsong knew what they meant.

In recent days, there have been a lot of rumors in Pingyang County, behind these rumors, pointing out that the relationship between Chen Jian and Wulin Yuan is extraordinary, and some people even point out that Chen Jian took refuge in Pingyang Mansion at the beginning was actually the internal response of Wulin Yuan.

As a courtier, he failed to solve the troubles for the emperor, and as a palace minister, he always knew about his own guards.

Out of the imperial study, Lu Qingsong's heart fluctuated slightly.

From the bottom of his heart, he absolutely believes in Jian Chen's character, and believes that he will never hide elsewhere and ignore himself, but why can't he explain the secret in his heart to himself?

Filled with thoughts, Lu Qingsong staggered towards the Pingyang County Ya.

"Lord Lu, let's have a bowl of noodles!"

Beside him, a hawker beckoned to Lu Qingsong.

Looking at the steaming stall, Lu Qingsong suddenly felt a little hungry.

He found a secluded table, ordered a bowl of noodles, and began to pull mouthfuls into his mouth after sitting down, but in his mind, the words that the emperor and Yan Songhe said to him in the imperial study kept coming to mind.

At the next table, there were two hunters, with their backs and stubbles, chatting while pulling the noodles in the bowl.

"I thought I was going to fight, but the martial arts alliance leader came out and solved the matter in three or two clicks. ”

"Yes, that martial arts alliance master is really powerful, he even thought of holding that old thief Dong hostage!"

"I heard that the old thief Dong was almost scared to pee his pants, it's really happy!"

"Yes, yes, let him not be able to bully us people for three days. ”

"But then again, is that Lord Chen really dead?"

"Didn't you hear? He's not dead. ”

"How can this be, didn't Lord Lu say that he was dead?"

"Maybe Lord Lu is trying to protect Lord Chen, if Lord Chen hadn't died, wouldn't he have been hunted down by those Jianghu people?"

"Maybe, but I heard that Lord Lu didn't know that Lord Chen wasn't dead!"

"No, if Lord Chen hadn't died, wouldn't something so big have happened, shouldn't he have come out to protect Lord Lu?"

"Hey, we don't know anything in the middle, anyway, now it's good to know that Lord Chen is not dead, if Pingyang Mansion is without him, it will be over. ”

"You can't say that, isn't there still Lord Lu in Pingyang Mansion?"

"Lord Lu is a clean official, but without Lord Chen, Lord Lu's handling of cases may not be so neat. ”

"That's true, when Lord Chen was away in the past, Lord Lu didn't have much to do with that old thief, but now Lord Chen has helped us out a lot!"

"So, now everyone is saying in private that Lord Lu is thanks to Lord Chen to have the name of this blue sky. ”

The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, but Lu Qingsong, who didn't care about the surrounding tongue, was pulled back to his thoughts by this last sentence.

The hand holding the chopsticks was shaking slightly, and a bitter smile appeared on Lu Qingsong's face.

He also heard a lot of these words on weekdays, and he didn't pay much attention to them, but now he suddenly felt very harsh.

He remembered what Yan Songhe said to himself outside the imperial study, "Lord Lu, you have to be careful, you have to be a master!"

Lu Qingsong put the silver on the table, and walked away quickly with a gloomy face.

Before returning to Pingyang Mansion, Jian Chen first went back to Wuzhuang.

The three women saw Chen Jian appearing and came forward one after another.

"Sister Leng hasn't come back yet?" Jian Chen got straight to the point.

"No," Jing Mengya made a bitter face, "Sister Leng's body is not good, I don't know if something will happen to her after so long." ”

Jian Chen frowned, "Didn't you notice anything before Sister Leng left?"

"I don't think so. "Qi Zhu Dao," a qiē life is as usual, but-"

"But what?"

After Sister Leng left, some of the pills she took daily in her room were gone. Ni Qianyu was thoughtful.

"In this way, she didn't disappear for no reason, but had planned it a long time ago?" Chen Jian's heart, which had been carrying it, fell heavily now.

Sure enough, was this qiē all premeditated?

"Childe, what do you mean by that?" Jing Mengya was surprised by Jian Chen's expression.

"Sister Leng should have run away on her own, not being held hostage. Jian Chen lowered his head in contemplation.

"Childe, there's one more thing. Jizhu stepped forward.

"What's the matter?" Jian Chen was distressed.

"The snow farm opposite has recently moved again. ”

"Xuezhuang?" Jian Chen exclaimed, "Could it be that Yelu has returned?"

"In the past few days, we have found that people have begun to enter and exit the manor again, but after we investigated, we found that it was just some daily chores, and there seemed to be no owner in the garden. Zhen Zhu told Jian Chen about his observations in the past few days.

"This matter is strange!" Jian Chen's suspicions suddenly rose, and he instructed Qi Zhu Dao, "Sister Qi Zhu quickly go and inform the Shangguan Alliance Master of the situation of the Snow Village. ”

"Where is Childe going?" Qi Zhu couldn't help but ask when he saw Jian Chen handing over the matter to him.

"I want to go back to Binh Duong. Jian Chen's tone was very calm.

"Childe isn't going to find Sister Leng?" Jing Mengya couldn't help but say anxiously when he saw that Jian Chen didn't pay attention to the matter of Wuzhuang and wanted to go back to the county office.

"You and Sister Ni go to find it together, I still have something to do. Chen Jian said lightly.

He didn't want to go to Leng Yuebing, he was afraid that he would hear some facts he didn't want to hear after he found her, so he wanted to escape.

Although the three women were very surprised by Jian Chen's reaction, none of them asked. The people of the dance house keep their own secrets with each other, where everyone comes from and what past they have in the past, it is taboo in the dance house, and they will never be mentioned.

Out of Wuzhuang, Chen Jian didn't stop and returned to Pingyang Mansion at sunset.

In Lu Qingsong's study, Chen Jian saw Lu Qingsong, whose face was a little unusual.

"You're really not dead?" Lu Qingsong saw Jian Chen, but he didn't look happy at all.

Jian Chen was stunned for a moment, "My subordinates were rescued by the master, and they escaped by luck." ”

"Your master wanted to kill you in the first place, why is he saving you now?"

"Master just wanted to-" Jian Chen wanted to tell the truth, but he suddenly hesitated. Xuan Ling's way of saving himself, how could he sue Lu Qingsong?

Seeing that Jian Chen wanted to speak and stopped, Lu Qingsong's face was very bad. "Since you don't want to say it, forget it, you escaped death, so you should go back and rest early. ”

"My lord!" Jian Chen knew that Lu Qingsong was unhappy in his heart, and tried his best to explain, "The subordinates didn't deliberately deceive, but there were many things, and they were widely implicated, and the subordinates couldn't-"

"Okay, this government knows, you don't have to say it anymore!" Lu Qingsong waved his hand impatiently.

"My lord," Jian Chen knelt on his knees, "subordinates—subordinates—"

Seeing Jian Chen kneeling on the ground, Lu Qingsong's heart softened, "In that case, the last thing this mansion asks you is, you must answer!"

Jian Chen raised his head and looked at Lu Qingsong.

"Do you know about today's Pingyang dispute?"

Lu Qingsong stared at Jian Chen's eyes, expecting to say the answer he wanted from his mouth.

You must not know, or you simply can't come.

However, Lu Qingsong didn't hear the answer he wanted, he just saw Jian Chen biting his lip and saying nothing.

Lord Lu, I'm sorry, I can't tell you the truth, but I will never lie to you.

"That's it, that's it, it seems that between you and me is just a master and servant, no, not even a master and a servant. You are a hero, just to repay the favor, you don't need to report everything to me, you just need to tell me that you want to sue me!" Lu Qingsong said these words angrily, and then brushed his sleeves away.

Jian Chen was stunned as he watched Lu Qingsong slam the door shut, pain spreading in his eyes.

Throughout the night, Chen Jian couldn't sleep, and Lu Qingsong's attitude towards himself made him unable to sleep for a long time. He knew that Lu Qingsong was angry that he had hidden too many things from him, but how could he explain it? Thinking of Lu Qingsong's sad and sad expression, Jian Chen had been blaming himself in his heart.

The sky was slightly bright, and Chen Jian, who was still with his eyes open, got up from the bed and sat on the edge of the bed for a long time.

The first rays of sunlight from the east shone into the room, piercing Jian Chen's eyes.

In a trance, at the windowsill, a cloud of red faintly appeared.
