"Yes, Lanting Garden was burned down that night, and Mr. Xu was killed. Now, everyone really doesn't believe that this meteor is bad luck!"
Shi Qinghuan listened. Although he thought it was ridiculous, he didn't say much.
There is even an inexplicable feeling in my heart.
It's like the pull of fate.
Time flew by and soon it was late at night.
Shi Qinghuan put on night clothes and left the house again.
Xu Fang Pavilion is located in the east of the city, very close to the palace, and there are more imperial troops patrolling there.
Under the cover of night, Shi Qinghuan arrived outside Xu Fang Pavilion smoothly.
Shi Qinghuan was a little surprised when he saw a familiar figure.
Bailiheng actually came in person.
Their figures were hidden in the darkness, looking at each other from a distance.
It was like going back to the night we first met.
The footsteps of the Forbidden Army were heard in the distance, and Shi Qinghuan hurriedly stepped forward, "Follow me!"
Bailiheng said nothing, but still followed closely behind Shi Qinghuan.
The courtyard wall was turned in, and two figures walked through the night.
The layout here has not changed at all, it is still the same as when she came ten years ago.
I wonder if Cheng Yangfeng was very arrogant and believed that no one would know his secret after her death, so nothing changed.
Now it's easier for her.
Being familiar with the roads, and Cheng Yangfeng's bait was not here, he naturally avoided all the forbidden troops and reached a bamboo building in the backyard.
This bamboo tower is the most inconspicuous of all the temples. It is just a place for admiring the moon and composing poems.
Others would never imagine that the most important things would be hidden here.
But Shi Qinghuan knew it, because it was her idea.
The two went straight to the study room on the second floor. The furnishings in the study room were simple. In addition to the desk, there were only a few bookshelves on one side.
"Looking for! "Lan Ji""
After that, the two dispersed and looked for each other from both sides.
It was dark inside the house, and for fear of alerting the patrolling guards outside, I had no choice but to rely on the faint light of the night pearl in my palm.
The speed of the two of them was also very fast. After a while, Shi Qinghuan shook the book in his hand.
"found it!"
As soon as she put the book in her arms, footsteps sounded outside.
Two maids came over from outside.
As soon as Shi Qinghuan turned around, a force hit her wrist, pulling her and hiding behind a bookshelf nearby.
Dark corner, extremely close distance.
The familiar aroma surrounded her, and Bailiheng's breath fell on Shi Qinghuan's head, stirring her hair.
Baili Gang was very tall, and Shi Qinghuan, who was already tall, only reached his shoulders. In the silhouette illuminated by the light, it seemed as if he was holding her in his arms.
Fortunately, the maid was just passing by, and Shi Qinghuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the footsteps disappear.
Just as he was about to come out, he was stopped by Bailiheng, "Wait a minute."
Shi Qinghuan thought there was another crisis, so he really stopped.
Unexpectedly, Bailiheng's fingertips moved, and the light of the night pearl shone out.
The light between the two of them shone like fireflies. Shi Qinghuan, who was not sure why, raised his eyes and met Bailiheng's eyes.
He just stared at her with an unreadable expression.
Specifically, maybe he wasn't looking at her at all, but seemed to be looking at another person through her.
Could it be that... Bailiheng really has some feelings for Lin Manyun?
Also, why does this scene always feel familiar?
She couldn't think it through, and it wasn't the time to think it through.
The subordinate subconsciously pushed Bailiheng, "Sir?"
Only then did Bailiheng curl his lips, and his expression turned into inquiry and suspicion.
"You know, isn't that a little too much?"
really.
But Shi Qinghuan didn't panic at all, but calmly got out of his arms.
"If I have no value at all, how can I get the antidote for you?"
After that, he walked straight outside.
Fortunately, Bailiheng didn't behave strangely anymore and followed her silently.
I thought everything was going well, but not far from the bamboo building, Bailiheng hugged Shi Qinghuan and dodged to one side.
Shi Qinghuan also felt it, it was murderous intent.
Turning around, he saw a figure standing on the eaves not far away.
It's Cheng Yangfeng's personal bodyguard, Jiang Qing.
In her previous life, she died at his hands.
Bailiheng glanced sideways at the murderous Shi Qinghuan, then pulled her and flew down.
"Chase!"
Black shadows moved, chasing after the two of them.
Bailiheng's speed was very fast, and he quickly distanced himself from everyone, and finally stopped at the bank of the river behind Xufang Pavilion.
Shi Qinghuan looked at the receding river, "Any response?"
"No!"
Shi Qinghuan frowned slightly, and the sound of footsteps came from behind, indicating that the pursuers were catching up.
"Then how do we get out?"
She was answered by silence.
Shi Qinghuan turned around and his expression paused.
Because there was nothing behind her, and there was no trace of Bailiheng anywhere.
Her heart skipped a beat and she quickly caressed him in her arms.
really.
The books were also missing.
Bailiheng! ! !
Shi Qinghuan wanted to cut him to pieces in his heart, but now there was no other way. Looking at the deep river water, Shi Qinghuan hesitated.
What she feared most in her previous life was water.
"Get her!"
At the critical moment, Shi Qinghuan gritted his teeth and plunged in.
Entering the cold water, Shi Qinghuan was capsized by the waves.
The fear in her heart made her feel like she was being pulled into the abyss, and the feeling of suffocation followed closely behind.
No, she can't die!
To live, no matter what...must live.
The obsession in her heart kept moving forward, and even though she couldn't swim, she still threw herself out of the water.
But in the next moment, he was pulled into the water by the guards who were chasing after him.
Fight back with a struggle, grab the opponent's sword, and knock the opponent back.
Fighting in the water, fighting desperately.
Blood spread in the water, blocking his vision.
All this tossing made her, who had tried her best to hold on, completely lose her strength. Her vision began to blur, and the water surface became farther and farther away from her.
The figure was slowly sinking into the water. At the end of her consciousness, she saw the cold light of the sword coming straight towards her.
Are you going to die again?
The clanging sound of the long sword brought up the water, and Shi Qinghuan felt a surge of force on his back.
Just push her straight up.
She was shocked in her heart, but she also regained some consciousness. With the momentum, she came out of the water again.
After taking a deep breath, she felt alive.
But when I looked back at the bottom of the water, there was no figure.
So what happened just now?
The guards all around also disappeared. Did she kill so many people just now?
Shi Qinghuan felt strange and thought he was hallucinating.
But without a moment's delay, he struggled to climb up one side of the bank.
"go there!"
The manhunt had begun, and Shi Qinghuan had no time to think about anything else and fled quickly.
Fortunately, the journey went smoothly and we soon returned to the General's Mansion.
Xianyu was so frightened that he couldn't help but Shi Qinghuan didn't care about his soaked body. Instead, he took out a small file from the innermost part of his clothes.
"Xianyu, quickly, dry the water!"
The two of them were in a hurry, but fortunately, the file was made of a special material that avoided most of the water. With Shi Qinghuan's best efforts to protect it, it didn't get too wet, and the handwriting could still be barely legible.
"Miss, what is this?"
"Secrets, secrets of officials everywhere."
Collecting the secrets of officials from various places and taking control of their threats is what Cheng Yangfeng is best at.
She also helped a lot in the beginning, which is why she knew the secret of Xue Yanghou Mansion.
And the real reason why she deliberately went to Xu Fangting in the name of translation this time was also because of this dossier.
In ten years, the content has increased a lot.
Once she masters these, her path will be much easier.
After making sure that there was nothing wrong with the file, Shi Qinghuan went to take a shower and change clothes, and then studied it carefully.
On the other side, in Prince Feng's Mansion, Jiang Qing knelt on the ground with an ugly expression.
"This subordinate is negligent, please punish me."
Sitting in the main seat, Cheng Yangfeng was dressed in moon-white brocade clothes. He was unparalleled in dignity. He sat upright and had no expression on his face, but he was still as gentle as jade. However, the cold and stern look in his eyes showed the shock in his heart.
"You mean, their goal is not the translation, but the secrets?"
"Yes, they only took away the extremely hidden secrets and turned a blind eye to the obvious fake translations. What's even more strange is that they did not go to our bait place, but came to the Royal Courtyard that no one expected, and The door is familiar and the road is familiar. When you enter the other courtyard, you go straight to the Bamboo Tower."
Hearing this, Cheng Yangfeng's fingertips trembled, and a sudden light appeared in his eyes.
"Are you saying that the visitor is very familiar with the other courtyard and knows that what he is looking for is in the Bamboo House?"
"yes!"
Cheng Yangfeng stood up suddenly and walked up to Jiang Qing excitedly, "Can you clearly see what the person looks like, is she a woman?"
As soon as these words came out, Jiang Qing was stunned, and then sighed, "Your Majesty, she is already dead, or the bones you personally found, so how could it be her?"
This sentence made the light in Cheng Yangfeng's eyes dim again.
The smile that was about to appear on the corner of his lips gradually dissipated, and he turned to look out the window at the night, eventually turning into a helpless wry smile.
"Yeah, how could it be her?"
The image of her broken body and death was all in his mind. Cheng Yangfeng's eyes were red and he looked a little crazy.
It was he who killed her with his own hands!
How could it be her?
He closed his eyes tightly, sighed, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with sternness.
"Check, if there is an action, there will be clues left behind. We must find them... out."
"yes!"
"By the way, if there is a woman among the assassins... she must be alive!"
"My lord, why are you doing this? It's impossible..."
Cheng Yangfeng's breath turned cold, as deep as ice.
"Go and do it!"
"yes..."
