At that time, the first emperor will pass away the dragon immortal, the crown prince will succeed to the throne, and the court is a wave of unevenness, a wave of time, and when he is a part-time person, he became the prefect of Fenzhou at a young age, until now.

The gang of thieves found him, thinking that he had "accomplished any task by any means" and hid under his door for eighteen years!

No one will find out about him. After all, he has always been an honest and honest official, who would be so discerning?

The prefect's slightly narrowed eyes suddenly widened - he didn't expect Qi Xiaoxian to stretch out his hand so long, almost letting himself leak the stuffing!

Qi Xiaoxian rummaged through the cabinets in his room, and finally found his sword under the bed, he breathed a sigh of relief, but the uneasiness in his heart never dissipated.

It's not because of how rare this sword is, it's just because after using it for many years, Qi Xiaoxian can't bear to lose it.

He turned and closed the door, and he went to the gate to check it.

Suddenly paused, remembering that he didn't say hello when he came to this prefect's mansion, which was a little rude. So he turned around and went to the prefect's house.

The prefect was lying leisurely on the Taishi chair, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and Qi Xiaoxian pushed the door in.

The two exchanged a few words, and Qi Xiaoxian was about to leave in a hurry. The prefect kept it again and again, wanting him to have dinner in the mansion and then go back, Qi Xiaoxian was so gracious that he just wanted to agree, but he looked down and saw three used teacups on the table.

One is used by the prefect of Wu himself, which is not surprising. But there are two other ......

Qi Xiaoxian lowered his eyelids, hiding the heavy suspicious look in his pupils, and pretended to ask inadvertently, "The prefect had a guest just now?" ”

That Wu Zhifu's eyelids jumped, and he suddenly caught a glimpse of the two extra teacups on the table, and suddenly understood, he regretted it in his heart, and secretly hated that he didn't notice it just now and didn't clean them up.

At that moment, I had to pretend to be calm and said: "It's just that the county magistrate sent someone to report some things in the county, which is not enough." ”

Qi Xiaoxian was skeptical, but he still remembered the matter of the investigation in his heart, so he said goodbye and was about to leave.

There was a knock on the door, and at the same time, the person outside the door said loudly: "Is Lord Qi here?" There is your letter in Kyoto. ”

Qi Xiaoxian didn't wait for Governor Wu's orders, he opened the door and took the letter, but after a while, his face was a little cloudy.

It was the news that summoned him to go to Soochow to quell the rebellion.

At this time, he completely lost the years to go to the city gate in his heart, and only thought about Fenzhou and Dongwu.

Seeing that Qi Xiaoxian's face changed and changed, Governor Wu couldn't help but be a little curious, but he didn't want to ask, so he said a few words and said goodbye and went home.

That night, Qi Xiaoxian was still staying in the prefect's mansion.

He lay on the bed, thinking about Dongwu, thousands of miles away, and Ruan Di.

If it weren't for this letter from the imperial court, he still didn't know what the environment Ruan Di was in at the moment.

Dongwu is mixed, hundreds of large and small sects hide between mountains, rivers and rivers, Peony Sect and Miaojiang Branch, and Zhangfu are three-legged. The Peony Sect and the Zhang Mansion jointly created a "King of Changping", and the imperial court forces have also begun to intervene......

The situation is complicated, and it is mentioned in detail in the letter.

But Ruan Di didn't mention any news about himself, and Qi Xiaoxian was anxious for a while.

He really wanted to comply with the will of the imperial court, so he gave up Fenzhou, left, and went to Eastern Wu to protect Ruan Di.

But he was unwilling, he had been searching for so many years, and finally found the trace of the enemy who killed his father, and now the revenge is not close at hand, but there is real hope.

If he gives up this time and leaves Fenzhou, then it is very likely that he will not be able to mention his father Qi Guangbo again in this life.

Qi Xiaoxian lay in the dark, staring at the wooden roof, tossing and turning but unable to sleep.

Outside the window, a bend of Emei Moon has moved into the air, and there is a subtle chirping of spring insects in the courtyard.

Qi Xiaoxian kept his eyes open until midnight, and suddenly there was a result in his heart.

My father has been dead for many years, and I and my sister have long learned to bury hatred in our hearts and not talk about it easily. And Ruan Di is his wife, a living person, how can he not take her seriously? If Ruan Di has three strengths and two shortcomings in Soochow this time, what will he use to fill it in his life?

As soon as this thought came out, Qi Xiaoxian suddenly felt refreshed. He couldn't hold it anymore, so he immediately wrote back the news of the imperial court, and just waited for the sky to dawn and let people send a letter back.

Qi Xiaoxian figured out where the knot in his heart was, so he lay down with his clothes and fell asleep.

Dongwu Changping.

Since that day, Ruan Di sent someone to send the news to Beijing, she led those guards to change to an inn, and the Laifu Inn had already been targeted by the people of Zhang's Mansion and the Peony Sect, and they couldn't sit still.

Since Ruan Di moved to Chongzhou in Eastern Wu, he ordered the guards to take shifts to guard and not let go of any suspicious person. During this period, she even drew pictures of the appearance of Chaoyan, Zhang Yi and others, and carefully identified them for those guards, even Broken Night and Yan Cheng were not spared.

On this day, Ruan Di was reading a book, but a guard outside the door reported that someone was looking for her. Ruan Di was beating a drum in her heart, although she had been in Dongwu for more than two months, she didn't have any close friends, and she couldn't think of a second person except that Xu An might come to her.

She quietly clenched the short sword in her sleeve - this habit of hiding a knife in her sleeve had only been cultivated by Ruan Di in order to protect herself since Zhiying's death.

Ruan Di coughed and ordered people to be brought in.

The door creaked open, and the person seemed to have a lot of strength. Ruan Di raised his eyes to the door.

A tall and sturdy young man walked in, and Ruan Di estimated that it was about twenty-six or seventeen. He was dressed in a black robe, with a jade pendant around his waist, and his hair was tied low behind his head with strips of cloth, and his steps were neat and concise.

Ruan Di tried to remember, but he couldn't remember when he had met such a person.

When the man came in the door, he raised his eyes and saw Ruan Di sitting in the middle of the room, and his eyes showed a look of astonishment, which soon turned into a thick color of mockery and ridicule.

He smiled slightly and said: "The situation in Dongwu is grim now, I am a rough man who marches and fights, but I didn't expect that this assassination history still has leisure and leisure, and even the investigation of the case has to bring a beautiful woman to serve by your side!" ”

The ridicule and dissatisfaction in the words were not disguised at all. He obviously regarded Ruan Di as a "beautiful woman" brought over by the Eastern Wu Thorn History!

Ruan Di was a little displeased, but he felt funny in his heart. His face immediately turned cold: "The humble position is the fourth rank of the Dongwu assassination history, and I came to investigate the flood case." I don't know what you call you? ”

That Deng Wenchao was holding his head high, his eyes went straight over Ruan Di, who was a head shorter than him, staring at the painting above her head, waiting to see how Ruan Di answered, but he was caught off guard and learned that the woman in front of him was the assassin of Dongwu!
