"They just went in so openly?"
The courtyard is dark, surrounded by sycamore trees, with flying snow falling along with the yellow leaves. A clear pool rippling under the cold wind is dotted with a bit of warm yellow spreading from the hall.
The doorless main hall was separated by an embroidered phoenix screen. The hall was dark, with only a little firelight coming from inside. A voluptuous silhouette holding a file gently hit the screen, and a lazy and charming female voice came from inside. The news spread like a snake and scorpion to the man who was half-kneeling in the courtyard:
"With his cultivation level, it shouldn't be a difficult thing to find you. So, is he doing it on purpose to show me?"
The man covered his face with a burqa and was dressed in black. Only his eyes were visible. He was half-kneeling on the snow in the courtyard, his head lowered:
".Subordinates dare not speak nonsense."
The woman's voice behind the screen was soft, smiling, but cold:
"I didn't even ask you."
After the words fell, the woman behind the screen was speechless for a moment, and the snowy courtyard was silent for a while.
The man in black robe did not say a word, but he did not dare to leave without the woman speaking, and he half-knelt in the snowy courtyard.
As time passed, some white gradually piled up on the black clothes in the courtyard, but he had no complaints and was still half-kneeling meticulously, his body not swaying in the wind and snow.
He knew very well that the woman in the hall would not leave him here without any reason.
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly there was a slight sound of opening the door from the gatehouse in the huge silent courtyard.
The man in black's lowered pupils shrank slightly.
Without any notification, not even a knock on the door, who dares to be so bold and directly break into the General Affairs Office of the Black Scale Guards in Guangyang City?
Although he had doubts in his heart, he still knelt down honestly.
"Creak——"
"Creak——"
The sound of stepping on the snow came from behind, the steps were light and slow.
Director Lou didn't let him leave. It was probably because of this person.
Although he didn't dare to detect the visitor, he had developed his skills through rigorous training, and the man could still tell from the footsteps of the visitor that the other person was not highly cultivated.
Ten breaths later, the visitor had already walked to his side.
The man in black lowered his eyes and saw a pair of expensive Liuyun corner boots. When the other party passed by him, he paused slightly, seemed to take a look, and then continued walking towards the house.
There was still no announcement, not even a greeting, and the footsteps walked directly behind the screen.
Then there was no more sound.
Looking at the dimly lit lobby, Xu Yuan casually took out a fire lamp and placed it on the desk. He leaned on the desk and looked at the woman opposite:
"Sister, long time no see, did you miss me?"
The woman is Lou Ji.
Lou Ji was wearing a light-colored top with silver trim today. The water-colored gauze belt reached to her waist. The smoky-colored hibiscus tailed waist-cinching skirt made her slender waist barely reachable.
Of course, corseted clothing adds even more billowiness.
It’s just that the clothes are tightly closed and the gully is gone.
Taking a breath, Lou Ji raised her eyes and glanced at him calmly, with a faint tone:
"It's useless to think about it, sister. If we don't send people to find you, I'm afraid we will leave without even saying hello to my sister."
Xu Yuan walked up behind Lou Ji with a smile, gently pressed her fair shoulders and neck, and argued:
"Sister, I don't have anyone to show me the way, and I can't find you here either."
Saying that, Xu Yuan pressed Lou Ji's soft shoulders and asked:
"When I entered the city today, I saw from the air that Guangyang City was really lively. Is something going to happen?"
"What do you think?"
Lou Ji glanced back at the kid behind her, leaned back lazily on the chair, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the pressure of the other person's fingertips:
"There have been so many things lately that I've almost exhausted my sister to death. Hmm. The technique is good. You can use a little more force."
"Okay." After receiving the order, Xu Yuan started running the technique directly.
"Try harder." Lou Ji's beautiful eyes were half-squinted, her blue pupils clear.
"Um."
"You didn't eat today? Try harder."
"Okay."
"Long sky."
"Um?"
"You have so little strength, do you need your sister to give you some medicine?"
"."Xu Yuan.
If it breaks, you will be scolded.
The thought just came up,
Lou Ji then sat upright gently, turned her eyes, the green hair on her temples swept between her lips in the wind, her green eyes stared at him with a little chill:
"Changtian, sister, I'm very curious, how dare you insist on staying in Beifeng with your cultivation level?"
here we go
Looking at each other for a moment, Xu Yuan grinned:
"Sister, I think I can handle the matter in Beifeng City."
"boom!!"
Before she finished speaking, Lou Ji raised her hand and slapped it on the table.
As the soft waves swayed, the solid wood desk was directly stamped with fingerprints.
Lou Ji stared into Xu Yuan's eyes, and a sneer appeared on Dan Ying's lips:
"Do you think I am talking about this matter? No matter how well you handle it, what can you do? Before I left, I should have told you that you would rather not do anything than show your sharpness. What about you, Xu Changtian? Do you really think that relying on your identity No one dares to kill you?!
"I can tell you, if you show your sharpness, everyone in the world will kill you!"
"No, why did you tell me this before you left?" Xu Yuan whispered, "Why don't you just let me choose whether to go with you or not?"
"boom!!!"
This time the entire desk was shattered into powder.
Lou Ji's airtight and broad mind surged with her breathing, and the fierce light in her eyes was revealed:
"You don't understand if I don't tell you?!"
"Understand."
Xu Yuan was straightforward and continued to compare in a low voice: "It's just that life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten."
bass--
Lou Ji stood up, her high-heeled lotus boots allowed her to look straight at Xu Yuan, reached out and grabbed his collar, pulled him closer, and looked into his eyes:
"We haven't seen each other for a few months. Now we have learned to talk back."
"No talking back."
Xu Yuan stood at attention, feeling the touch on his chest, raising his head and looking straight: "I'm just telling the truth, and sister, didn't I come back alive?"
Lou Ji was not angry but smiled:
"Surviving is only the beginning."
Xu Yuan blinked his eyes, suddenly held Lou Ji's wrist with both hands, and said with a smile:
"Sister, don't be angry. In fact, I already have someone to suspect."
"."
Looking at his smiling face, Lou Ji took a deep breath to calm down her irritated mood, pushed hard to release the hand holding his collar, and snorted coldly: "Do I need your suspect?"
"."
The huge force that came from him made Xu Yuan take ten steps back, and finally he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
The surprise in his heart prevented Xu Yuan from getting up in a hurry. He looked at her standing in the hall, slightly surprised:
"Do you know who did it?"
Lou Ji glanced at him coldly, sat back in the chair and leaned on the back of the chair, crossed her legs and crossed her arms:
"Li Zhaoyuan."
"."
Xu Yuan stood up, wiped the dust off his butt, and trotted back behind Lou Ji. While continuing to serve the old aunt, he asked softly:
"My father also knows?"
"I know, but because there is no evidence, Li Zhaoyuan was saved by the emperor." Lou Ji's eyes were cold.
She was unhappy with the decision.
Xu Yuan's hand movements paused slightly and murmured: "Is this so?"
Lou Ji snorted coldly when he heard this, and said with a hint of yin and yang:
"Don't worry, Changtian. If you are really dead, my sister can also send Li Zhaoyuan to stay with you without any evidence."
Xu Yuan smiled coquettishly and continued to knead her soft shoulders:
"Well forget it, I don't want to die."
"It's not up to you now. If he leaks the matter, you won't be able to rest in peace."
"Li Zhaoyuan is a smart man, he probably wouldn't do this."
Xu Yuan's eyes revealed a hint of thought, and he shook his head slightly: "Well, at least he won't do this until he returns to Beijing."
Li Zhaoyuan's cultivation level was much higher than his, and his pseudo-first-grade cultivation level allowed him to face most assassinations calmly.
Even if he dies, the assassin can leave traces behind.
But since Lou Ji said she could make Li Zhaoyuan disappear quietly, she could definitely do it.
Thinking of this, Xu Yuan suddenly asked a question.
No, does Li Zhaoyuan know about this?
If Li Zhaoyuan didn't know that Lou Ji could make him disappear, then his information now.
"." Xu Yuan looked at the curled temples on the back of her head.
Lou Ji sighed and said:
"Don't worry. I've already warned him about this."
Yes, she is indeed a reliable big sister.
Xu Yuan smiled when he heard this and pressed his hands even more vigorously.
Lou Ji snorted softly, and a smile appeared on Danying's red lips:
"So, Changtian, you can tell me, sister, where have you been in the past few months since you disappeared?"
Xu Yuan's eyes flashed and his tone was calm and calm:
"Nothing, it was just that he and the Barbarian King were transported to the darkest place, and then he and Li Qingyan used the Beifeng Army Formation to kill the sainted Barbarian King."
Lou Ji frowned slightly:
"Behead the barbarian king who became a saint?"
"Yes." Xu Yuan nodded.
Lou Ji crossed her soft arms and tapped her fingertips, thoughtfully:
"The achievement of killing the barbarian king and becoming a saint. It seems that Wu Yuan's attitude will become more and more important for the imperial city to win the heir in the future."
"Sister, she and I killed the Barbarian King together."
"puff"
"."Xu Yuan.
There was a moment of silence,
Lou Ji breathed out a breath to suppress her laughter, then directly passed over this topic, turned her chair, looked at him and laughed softly:
"Changtian, sister, I heard that you went south on this trip and met the saint from Supervising Heaven Pavilion?"
"."
Xu Yuan saw the smile in the other person's eyes clearly, and the dissatisfaction in his heart immediately dissipated.
It’s broken, people want to have fun.
The water that was finally held steady may not be destroyed by this fun person.
Without any hesitation, Xu Yuan directly changed the topic:
"Yes, but why does she have my uncle's token in her hand?"
"Well, how do I know about your uncle's temperamental sister?"
Lou Ji crossed her legs, swung her white high-heeled lotus boots on her toes, propped up her side cheeks, and directly brought the topic back:
"But Chang Tian, my sister, I haven't seen that saint yet. Why don't you bring her and Wu Yuan to introduce her to my sister this time?"
Xu Yuan's expression remained unchanged, he chuckled and said directly:
"Actually, I also want to do this, but they are not idle like me. One wants to go to the military camp, and the other wants to meet the people of the sect."
When I first met Lou Ji in Beifeng City, she didn't start fighting with Li Qingyan, but that was not the case this time, not to mention that there was the stupidest washboard saint next to her.
Meet?
Impossible, absolutely impossible.
The water is too deep, and he, a soul-condensing expert, cannot control it for the time being.
Lou Ji tapped the side of her cheek with her slender index finger, looking slightly bored:
"Really? Let's forget it for now. Anyway, we can see you in the Imperial Capital after the incident in the north is over."
Xu Yuan felt relieved when he heard this. He suddenly remembered something and looked outside the screen.
A one-way screen allows him to see the outdoors from indoors.
The man in black was still half-kneeling in the snow, and there was already an inch of snow on his shoulders.
After a moment of pause, Xu Yuan asked softly:
"By the way, sister, that person outside."
"He is responsible for monitoring Li Zhaoyuan and will report information when he returns from this trip." Lou Ji replied casually.
"Oh?" Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows.
Lou Ji said with a smile:
"Why, Changtian, are you interested?"
"Of course I'm interested. After all, this guy wants to kill me."
A flash of light flashed in Xu Yuan's eyes, he paused for a moment, and asked: "But with Li Zhaoyuan's cultivation level, it should be easy to find this black scale guard, right?"
When he passed by the man in black earlier, he scanned the man with his spiritual vision.
The aura is unfathomable, but they are still weaker than the Washboard Saint.
"Yes, that means dropping a pellet under his nose to disgust him." Lou Ji smiled with a smile on her lips.
Xu Yuan was suspicious and asked:
"In that case, there shouldn't be any useful information."
"There is one thing."
"What?"
"."
After looking at each other for a while, Lou Ji said in a low tone: "He is having an upright private meeting with the clan members in the Prince's Courtyard tonight."
Xu Yuan thought for a moment, without any surprise on his face, he chuckled and shook his head:
"It's really something he can do."
Seeing his calm reaction, Lou Ji asked slightly strangely:
"Aren't you surprised, Changtian?"
"What's the surprise?"
Xu Yuan stared at Feixue in the dark night through the screen: "Sister, do you think the current emperor knows about Li Zhaoyuan's secret collusion with the sect?"
Lou Ji raised her eyebrows slightly, a flash of interest flashed across her green eyes, and looked at his side face:
"You should know about it. Sister, I know a thing or two about this kind of thing. There is no reason for the current Holy Emperor to not know about it. After all, Li Zhaoyuan has made it clear that he wants to seize the crown prince's position, and there are only a few ways he can take it."
"Yes, since the Emperor knew this, he forgave him for assassinating Qing Yan, and even saved him in front of his father."
Xu Yuan sighed softly and said with a hint of killing intent in his tone: "That can only mean that he has become the next candidate for the 9th Five-Year Plan.
"I can think of things that Li Zhaoyuan himself cannot think of.
"If I were him, I would definitely disclose such an important matter to the sect and tell them that it's time to raise their stakes."
"."
The snowy night is silent.
Lou Ji's eyes narrowed slightly and her voice was very soft:
"Now that the Northern Sect has not been destroyed, and the Sect Alliance is also exerting pressure, can the Emperor tolerate Li Zhaoyuan contacting the Sect at this juncture?"
Xu Yuan shook his head slightly when he heard this, looked back and said with a smile:
"I'm not very clear about this matter. After all, even my father may not know exactly what the Holy Lord is thinking.
"Does he want our prime minister to die, the sect to die, or does he want to completely provoke a war between the sect and the court before his death?"
The situation is tense now.
If the Zongmeng wants to destroy the three northern continents, it must exert pressure in other places. If you are not careful, a black swan incident will occur.
Thinking of this,
Xu Yuan took a deep breath, calmed down his thoughts, and smiled softly at Lou Ji:
"Sister, it's still too far to talk about this. I want to see Li Zhaoyuan now."
