Chapter 1184: Outsiders

There is always a very gentle style in the water town, even if it is already cold winter according to the season. Even the most ordinary houses have a freehand charm against the backdrop of the night. The moon is round, the moonlight is soft, and the scenery in the distance is like splashing ink. There is a small yard with a weeping willow in front of the door, and the lights are bright.

There was a horse-drawn carriage parked in the courtyard, and by the light of the lights, a pattern of flames could be seen on the dark carriage. Now the whole world knows what this pattern represents, and only the feared yamen can use such a pattern.

Riding School

The yard is heavily guarded.

The same goes for the whole village.

The army was stationed in Cunzài, an army that was very young but full of fighting spirit. They traveled north from the distant Yunnan Province to Gyeonggi Province. All soldiers know that to be able to work in Gyeonggi Province is to think that they have truly become an elite part of the Black Flag Army.

It got everyone excited.

These soldiers were all selected from the homes of bitter cold people in Yunnan Province and Yongzhou. These families have been blessed by the Black Flag Army, and their loyalty to the Black Flag Army is far higher than that of soldiers recruited from elsewhere. If it weren't for the Black Flag Army, they would have been ruined.

So, although they all knew that the trip was far away and difficult, none of them resisted.

A young man in a moon-white robe walked slowly into the small courtyard and casually threw a human head that was still dripping blood to the Xiao Riding School guarding the door. The Xiao Riding School seemed to have been accustomed to this kind of thing for a long time, and his face did not change, and then he turned around and walked into the distance.

It won't be long before the head is buried somewhere.

The young man in the white robe walked steadily, he carried one hand behind his back, and held a long sword like autumn water in his hand, the body of which reflected a little cold in the moonlight.

There was a creak, and someone pushed the door out of the house.

"How many?"

The man who came out of the house asked.

The young man in the white robe shook his head: "I didn't remember it. ”

The people who came out of the room laughed dumbly, and said in their hearts that such an arrogant swordsman would have such an attitude. If it weren't for the company of this young swordsman along the way, maybe something bad would have happened. From the moment he received the order from his lord, he knew that his journey would never be safe.

"Thank you"

He said.

"Lord Wei is polite, this is what the prince arranged for me to do, so my lord doesn't need to thank you."

"Mr. Xie"

Wei Xiting asked: "I heard that you went to the northwest before, why did you suddenly appear in Yongzhou to join me?" ”

The young man known as Mr. Xie is none other than Xie Fuyao.

"That was the prince's arrangement, his thoughts...... Who can guess? Mr. Yan and I first went to the northwest, and after going out, it was already 1,100 miles, and we were caught up by the people from the Xiao Riding School, so we rushed to Yongzhou immediately. Then I will wait in Yongzhou, when I will see you return to Beijing, and when I will meet you. ”

"The Lord is clever."

Wei Xiting sighed in admiration.

Xie Fuyao didn't answer, he was originally a person with a cold personality.

"Where's Mr. Yan?"

Wei Xiting asked.

"Outside the village, I just killed a spy, and if nothing else, there will be some big moves tonight. There are too many people who want to kill you, so there are too many people who can be found with good cultivation. ”

"Hard"

Wei Xiting owed a slight owe and thanked him.

"Looks like you're worried?"

Xie Fuyao asked.

Wei Xiting nodded, without the slightest cover-up: "I'm afraid of death...... It's already at my age, and it's not easy to have some achievement status, and now that I'm about to have a greater achievement status, wouldn't it be a pity if I die like this? So I'm really a little worried, there are only two people, Mr. Yanqing and you, I'm afraid it's a little thin. ”

"If the prince is not worried, you don't need to worry."

Xie Fuyao sat down at the door and pointed to the inside of the room: "It's late at night, Ming'er has to hurry early in the morning, go to bed early." If someone can get past me into this house, it's useless if you worry. ”

Wei Xiting smiled.

He turned around and paused in his footsteps: "Do you know why the lord chose me?" ”

He asked.

Xie Fuyao was silent for a while and then replied: "Because if you see a line, you will run along it." ”

"Haha"

Wei Xiting laughed: "Even if the lord doesn't explain it, even if all the people involved in this world are guessing, I'm sure there are no more than three people who can really guess the lord's thoughts." One is Sanjin Hou Wu, one is Dugu Wenxiu, and the other is me. ”

Xie Fu shook his head and looked at him: "Because Dugu also guessed it, that's why you keep encountering danger?" ”

Wei Xiting's smile gradually disappeared, but there was no resentful expression: "He's smart, really smart." ”

Xie Fuyao didn't know what Wei Xiting's mood was when he said this.

He didn't want to guess either.

Chang'an City

Changchun Garden

There are many detached courtyards in the garden, and the architectural styles of these small courtyards are almost the same. Fang Xie chose the three-story building closest to the lotus pond to live in, but did not live in the vault where Emperor Tianyou of the Great Sui Dynasty once liked to live. However, the wooden building and the vault are the two closest residences in a straight line.

Therefore, Luo Weiran lives in the dome.

For his woman, it was a bit of a dilemma.

Because it used to be her other man who lived here.

"Coming back?"

The woman asked with a smile, putting down the shirt she was sewing in her hand. After all these years, she is still as gentle as water. Although there are already a lot of fine wrinkles on her face, there are also vicissitudes between the corners of her eyebrows when she laughs. However, she is still beautiful, and in Luo Weiran's eyes, she is always beautiful.

"I'm back."

Luo Weiran sat down and poured a cup of hot tea.

No matter when he returns, the tea in the teapot is hot. This heart alone is not something that a casual woman can do. In particular, she used to be the queen. In this small courtyard, she refused the service of all her subordinates, and did everything herself.

She didn't know when he would come back, but she knew that if a hard-working man came back and couldn't drink a sip of hot tea, it was a woman who didn't do well, very badly.

"It's not peaceful outside the garden."

Luo Weiran said: "Recently, at least six groups of people have tried to come in. ”

The woman's face changed slightly, and she wanted to ask, but she didn't.

"Don't worry, she'll be fine."

Luo Weiran knew who she was worried about, the daughter who had always refused to live with them. Before Fang Xie left, he asked her to go back to Changchun Garden to live, but she refused. Now in the Taiji Palace, only her courtyard still has some human fireworks.

"No matter who's behind it, they won't hurt her first."

Luo Weiran explained: "After all, she is the eldest princess of the Great Sui, and many people need her identity. Whoever wanted to overthrow Fang Jie, the first thing he did after success was to push the eldest princess out and stand in front of everyone. Until then, she won't be in any danger. Moreover...... Dean Zhou is also in the Taiji Palace. ”

The woman nodded.

"Will you sleep?"

She asked.

"I'm going to go around there."

Luo Weiran got up: "I'll be back soon." ”

He walked out of the room and walked to the bottom of the three-story wooden building by the lotus pond.

The window opened when he arrived, and Sang Sasa, who was holding the child, stood at the window and bowed his head slightly.

Luo Weiran said: "Just now, another group of people tried to come in, but they were all killed by me. This building is surrounded by people arranged by Fang Jie, including several old-timers from Yiqiguan. No matter who those people invited, it was not easy to get close to this wooden building. Besides, this is just Fang Jieming's arrangement, and I don't know what he has prepared secretly. You just have to rest in peace, and I'll take care of things inside and out. ”

"Thank you"

Sang Sasa thanks.

Luo Weiran nodded, turned around and walked back.

In the dark, several people quietly returned to their positions and watched Luo Weiran leave.

Outside Changchun Garden

Two old men in Taoist robes looked back and forth, and then beckoned. A group of riding schools came quickly from the darkness and carried away all the corpses outside the garden. Someone brought water to wipe the blood stains off the bluestone slab. By tomorrow morning, no one knows that many people have died here.

A hundred meters away from here, a person looked at this qiē in the shadows, shook his head helplessly, and then turned to leave.

Confucius temple

There is a Confucius Temple in every city, and the people who worship the Confucius Temple in each city may be different. It's as if land is enshrined on a certain street in every city, and it seems to be just a tradition that is reluctant to be thrown away. This Confucius Temple is very dilapidated, and I don't know how many years no one has come to clean it.

Dugu Wenxiu couldn't help but wrinkle when he walked in, and the heavy smell of dust made him a little uncomfortable.

He walked into the lobby and then towards the east wall.

The east wall is mottled, and most of the wall skin has fallen off.

Then, a crack cracked in the wall. The slit grew larger and larger, and soon became a small door that could accommodate a person in and out. Dugu Wenxiu bent down and walked in, her face becoming more and more solemn. Coming out of the door to greet him was a dwarf who looked a little stupid, only taller than Dugu Wenxiu's waist, and could only smirk.

Dugu Wenxiu knew that walking into this tattered place and walking into this small door was the closest place to the truth. He walked in, and there might never be a turning back.

"Please inside, Lord Dugu is the first outsider to walk into this small door in decades."

The dwarf has a strange voice, like a eunuch.

Decades

The dwarf, who can't tell his age, has been a gatekeeper here for decades.

Following a very deep and dark road, Dugu Wenxiu walked to the deepest part under the guidance of the dim butter lamp in the dwarf's hand.

Enlightened.

Who would have thought that such a dilapidated temple that no one would suspect that there was such a secret room in the Temple of Confucius, which would collapse in the next moment? And it's a stunningly luxuriously decorated secret room.

There was only one light in the chamber, but it was as bright as day.

Because the walls of this house are made of pure silver. On the four corners of the room, they are inlaid with night pearls. An oil lamp made the room hardly dark, even the shadows were so faint.

"There are no secrets here."

The people sitting in the room all got up when they saw Dugu Wenxiu walk in. The person at the head walked towards Dugu Wenxiu with a smile and opened his arms: "Welcome, Lord Dugu." As Chou San just said, you are the first outsider to walk in here in decades. But...... As long as you walk in here, you are not an outsider. ”

He was smiling and warm like a spring breeze.
