Zaisuke

After waking up, Jiang Xiu looked around the bedroom, but he didn't find the guard Bai, but the strange thing was that the coolness was not there.

He still remembered having a drink with Xi Yin at the restaurant yesterday, but he didn't remember much about it later, it was a piece of drinking.

However, the next moment, when Jiang Xiu found that the comfortable pillow was the arm of the guard Bai, he almost jumped out of bed.

Sailor Bai supported him on his shoulders. When he raised his eyes, the two looked at each other, and the screams that wanted to roll out of their throats were choked into one word, "Ah, early..."

It was quite early, not yet the time for Jiang Xiu to go to court.

Bai Shui turned sideways, and the hand on Jiang Xiu's shoulder moved down the waistline, his phoenix eyes were a little lazy, not as sharp as usual, "In the future, I must be by my side when drinking."

Bai Shui is not a guard, it is clearly the Supreme Emperor.

With a snort, Bai Shui ignored Jiang Xiu.

"Why, you're still not happy." Said Bai Sailor along his spine, touching Jiang Xiu's back joint by joint, his words were half smiling and half angry.

Jiang Xiu slapped the back of Bai Shui's hand, and said: "Boss guard, what you are doing now is enough to cut him into pieces ten times or eight times, can we restrain ourselves."

Bo Shui lowered his head, and touched Jiang Xiu's brow with his thin lips, "If the emperor doesn't allow it, my body will be cold."

Jiang Xiu was taken aback for a moment, pointed at himself and said, "How could I allow you to sleep with me?"

Yesterday he drank the broken piece, but the broken piece was too bad, he didn't dislike Baishui sharing the bed with him, just like they did before.

"Dijun, do you remember anything?"

When Bai Shui said that, he stretched out his hand and grabbed Jiang Xiu's wrist, pulling Jiang Xiu back who had half sat up and got out of the bed.

Jiang Xiu kicked Bai Shui's waist, "Go down."

Bai Shui bent down, "I still think of kicking people, making progress."

Jiang Xiu had never kicked the guard Bai Shui, and the relationship between the two was the courtesy of a monarch and a minister.

He indulged Bai Shui so much that Bai Shui lost his temper while hugging him for dinner, but he didn't know where this trust and indulgence came from.

One has two, since the day of drinking, Bai Shui has become more and more sticky to him, inseparable is the furthest distance. I want to know where I am so self-cultivated."

Bai Shui just smiled, didn't speak, bowed his head and kissed Jiang Xiu.

Ordinary days seem to go fast, and in a month's time it will be Qiao Xuange's wedding day, and the groom is Xi Yin.

On the day of the wedding, Qiao Xuange and Xi Yin's elders presided over the wedding ceremony for Qiao Xuange and Xi Yin. It was lively and festive. The Qiao family was a famous family, and Jiang Xiu was present as Xi Yin's brother. Most of the people in the capital came to the wedding.

After marriage, Xi Yin and Qiao Xuange did not stay in the capital of Dongwu, but left a letter to Qiao's family and Jiang Xiu respectively and left.

Jiang Xiu squeezed the letter and looked at it. Xi Yinshang's ramblings were not at all like usual, as if he and Qiao Xuange would come back when they were gray-haired.Jiang Xiu thought about the tone of the letter, like Qiao Xuange, probably Xi Yin crawled on the table while Qiao Xuange directed the writing.

There was a smile line unconsciously at the corner of his mouth, Jiang Xiu relaxed and leaned back on the chair, if it weren't for the memorials piled up on the table like a hill, he would be more happy.

"Holding up a letter and reading it for a long time, did you see anything?" Bai Shui came in with exquisite snacks and tea, and put them on Jiang Xiu's table.

"I don't see anything, I guess it will be a long time before I come back." Jiang Xiu stuffed the crispy and delicious pastry into his mouth, with the sweet fragrance of some kind of flowers and crushed nuts inside.

"You should know something." Jiang Xiu said, "I should know something too, but I just can't remember."

Bai Shui knocked on the table, "Don't think about it if you can't remember it. Look at the memorial in front of you. Tomorrow, Mr. Cui and Mr. Yang can point their noses and curse at people."

"Anyway, I'm not scolding me." Jiang Xiudao, his eyes slipped around Bai Shui, "It's not easy to be a bodyguard, why don't I give you some monthly salary."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace." Bai Shui cupped his hands and bowed.

Jiang Xiu said: "I'm not sure yet."

"Thank you, sir, you have no jokes." Bai Shui said.

Jiang Xiu opened a paper memorial, looked at ten lines at a glance, and asked Bai Shui casually: "Why don't you encourage me to think of something today."

"It's the minister who is impatient. Maybe the emperor will remember it when the time comes."

Jiang Xiu hummed, and didn't say anything else. He frowned slightly, and he didn't know whether it was because of the memorial or Bai Shui's words.

The days passed day by day, Jiang Xiu looked at the memorial, looked at Baishui, and the young or old faces of his officials. Dongwu was prosperous and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. There was really nothing special for him to worry about.

Half a year has passed since the wedding of Qiao Xuange and Xi Yin. Jiang Xiu wandered up the mountain to build a loft, turned his head to Bai Shui who put a cloak on his shoulders, and said, "The dark guard said that something went wrong in Huaishan, and more than a dozen people died in a few months." people."

"Xi Yinxin said that he and Xuange went to Huaishan. The Huai River is next to it. There are mountains and water. It is a good place to go."

"I'll let Huaishan King Zhoucheng go over to see Xuange and Xi Yin, and ask them to do a favor to catch the demon behind them."

When Jiang Xiu spoke, he clearly felt the cypress sailor who put the cloak on his shoulders behind him gave a pause.

"what happened?"

Before the cloak was tied, Jiang Xiu stretched out his hand to hold the cloak. After regaining his senses, Bai Shui turned to him, hooked up the strap of the cloak with his slender fingers, and tied it on for Jiang Xiu.

"I'm thinking, Qiao Xuange and Xi Yin are in Huaishan, so there shouldn't be any trouble there. If more than a dozen people died in a few months, they should have taken action to help the local city guard solve it."

"It's the same as I thought." The young emperor tapped his fingers on the railing one after another, smiling with his slightly narrowed eyes, the smile didn't reach his eyes,

"Bo Shui, go out for a walk with me, and go to Huaishan."

There are several cities in the Huaishan area, and the murder happened in Xuncheng. A carriage drove slowly along the official road towards Xuncheng.

In front of the gate of Xuncheng City, there are soldiers with swords waiting in full battle. They check the people who enter and exit Xuncheng one by one. There are seven or eight people lined up at the gate of the city.

The city guard Xu Chong was sitting at a tea stand by the city gate, with servants squatting next to him beating his legs, and Xu Chong glanced at the city gate from time to time.

Bai Shui drove to the end of the car, Jiang Xiu raised the curtain to take a look, then lowered the curtain again, waited in the car for a while, and arrived at them.

At this time, a soldier came to announce the news on horseback, and he hurried to Xu Chong, "My lord, King Huaishan has arrived."

Hearing this, Xu Chong stood up, waved his hand and said: "Clear the road, welcome King Huai Shan."

The soldiers at the city gate pointed to the ground, and asked Bai Shui to drive the carriage aside.

A gust of wind blew, and a few pieces of copper money paper on the ground of the city gate were blown up.

It was clear road at this time, Huaishan King Zhou Cheng hadn't arrived yet, Bai Shui drove the carriage and walked slowly towards the city, the two stayed in an inn in the city.

There is a private dining room on the second floor of the inn. Bai Shui chose a location facing the street, and when he opened the window, he could see the main road of Xuncheng.

After ordering the dishes, Xiao Er went downstairs to work, Bai Shui pushed open the wooden window, and the noise from the street rushed into the house.

"King Huai Shan is really majestic." Jiang Xiu praised with a half-smile.

Huaishan King Zhou Cheng was riding on a horse, his neck was raised at the same height as the top of the horse's neck, the city guard nodded and bowed and followed beside him, and the soldiers behind Huaishan King were also high-spirited. Stepping on.

King Huaishan was welcomed into the mansion by the city guards, but he couldn't see him along the street, Baishui closed the window, Xiaoer brought out the prepared dishes, and said: "Guest officer, take your time." He closed the door and exited.

Bai Shui, who is also the personal bodyguard and the head of the dark guard, reported to him about Xuncheng's affairs, and Jiang Xiu figured it out a little bit.

These people who died were monks from Xuncheng, or monks from several well-known sects in this area of ​​Xuncheng.

These people disappeared for a while after leaving the sect, and then died on the street.

Most of their corpses had wounds torn by ferocious beasts. They were either missing arms or legs, or their stomachs had been emptied, and their deaths were so miserable that the people of Xuncheng wanted to go out together in the morning, so as not to be frightened by the miserable corpses. Get over it.

The reason for identifying the identities of these corpses is firstly from the Zongmen clothes and belongings they wore, and secondly because most of these people's faces are intact.

As soon as it got dark, Xuncheng, which was still lively during the day, quickly quieted down. Those who closed their stalls closed their stalls, and those who wandered back home. When it was completely dark, there was loneliness in the empty streets that intersected in the city.

As a foreigner, Jiang Xiu asked the waiter at the inn who came to add hot water, "Why is it so quiet all of a sudden, there is a curfew in Xuncheng?"

The waiter at the inn shook his head and said: "There is no curfew, guest officer, you don't know if you come from other places, we have lost 21 people in a row."

He said in a low voice, "They are all corpses that were seen on the road in the morning. You said, if they are seen in the morning, they can only die at night. Who would dare to wander outside at night."

"Guest officer, listen to my advice, don't be so curious and go for a walk on the street at night, just in case something happens..."

"Oh, I'm the cheapest guest officer, don't worry about it." Saying that, the waiter in the inn wanted to slap himself.

Jiang Xiu waved his hand and threw the broken silver to the waiter in the inn. The waiter in the inn held the silver in his hand, bowed towards Jiang Xiu, closed the door and backed out.

Jiang Xiu stretched out his hand towards the back room, and said to Bai Shui who was making the bed: "Guard Bai, go out with me hand in hand, it's dark outside, I'm afraid you'll get lost."
