Back at the Sheriff's Mansion, Jiang Linxu ran out of the courtyard when he heard the movement from afar.

As soon as Ye Huaiyun was carried out of the carriage by Chu Tingyun, he heard him urgently say: "Your Highness! Brother Yi! Duan Ye is gone!"

"What?!" The two were taken aback almost at the same time.

Ye Huaiyun couldn't even wait to go back to his room and change into clean clothes, so he asked him to explain clearly as he walked.

According to Jiang Linxu, he used to chat with Duan Ye for a long time before going to bed last night, and then they went back to their rooms to sleep.But this morning, he wanted to call Duan Ye to have breakfast together, but he knocked on the door for a long time but there was no response.

Later, Jiang Linxu seemed to have sensed something, and broke in directly, but all he saw was a piece of letter paper on the table.

As for the folding fan that Duan Ye carried with him, and the black cat with blue eyes, they disappeared together.

As he spoke, he took out the letter paper in his sleeve and handed it to Ye Huaiyun.

There wasn't much ink in the letter, only a few words probably said that his only remaining relative, his uncle, was seriously ill and told him to go back quickly.Due to the urgency of the matter, it was too late to say goodbye, so I could only leave a letter as farewell.

After reading the letter, Chu Tingyun snorted coldly: "It's full of nonsense, in the final analysis it's a guilty conscience and ran away."

"Ah? What are you guilty of?" Jiang Linxu was in a daze, not understanding what he said.

Chu Tingyun's eyes were cold, and his sharp eyes fell on Jiang Linxu's face, "Did you tell him about the mine last night?"

"Say it, I said it." Before Jiang Linxu realized what happened, he nodded and said bluntly after being stared at by him: "He asked me where my brother-in-law and His Highness are, so I will tell you everything His Highness told me yesterday evening." him."

Chu Tingyun's eyes suddenly turned from frosty to disgusted, resisting the urge to get angry, and said coolly: "You're stupid, forget it."

After he finished speaking, regardless of Jiang Linxu standing there scratching his head in confusion, he carried Ye Huaiyun into the room and slammed the door shut.

Now, it is almost certain that the leaker is Duan Ye.Ye Huaiyun raised his hand to touch Chu Tingyun's deeply raised eyebrows, lightly smoothed the unsightly wrinkles, and then smoothed them out, "It's also my fault, I didn't remind Lin Xu not to tell Duan Ye about this time. "

"I don't blame you." Chu Tingyun put him on the soft couch, kissed the back of his hand, but said cruelly: "If I knew this, I should have tied him up before I went out that day."

At the right time, someone outside the house knocked on the door and brought a medicinal bath to dispel cold and ginger soup.

Ye Huaiyun was carried into the bathtub by Chu Tingyun again, and continued: "Since he is working for King Chang Xin, we will meet again when we go southwest this time."

Chu Tingyun was holding the medicine bowl in one hand, stirring the spoon in the other, and knocked the porcelain bowl loudly, "Oh, if I really meet again, I have to ask him to kneel down and beg for mercy!"

Ye Huaiyun leaned against the wall of the tub and sank into the warm bath water, as if she had acquiesced to Chu Tingyun's words.

He drank the ginger soup one gulp after another, and even felt a little tired in the end, so he simply closed his eyes and let the sleepiness take over his mind and fell asleep.

But after squinting for a long time, fierce and complex disputes suddenly sounded outside the house, all of which fell into Ye Huaiyun's ears.

He opened his eyes, and listening carefully, there seemed to be a quarrel between the shadow guards of the Eastern Palace and the dark guards of Luanxiao Palace.

Ye Huaiyun subconsciously went to see Chu Tingyun, wanting to ask what happened outside, but seeing the subtle and complicated expression on this person's face, even he couldn't tell what emotion it was, so she kept silent and continued to listen to the movement outside the house.

A shadow guard of the Eastern Palace seemed to be sneering: "If you want me to say, the person who leaked the secret is your Young Palace Master! He is the one who knows His Highness's plan best, and he is the one who stays in the mine the most convenient way to report the news!"

A secret guard of Luanxiao Palace was so annoyed by his ridicule that he retorted angrily: "Our young palace master went deep into the enemy's cave for His Highness and endured the humiliation for more than three days. Why do you slander the young palace master like this?!"

"Deep into the enemy's cave?" The Eastern Palace Shadow Guard snorted disdainfully, "The result of going deep into the enemy's cave is to allow the iron ore and living puppets in the mine to be transferred? Don't you know where you are?"

"Exactly!" Another shadow guard echoed.

"Besides, if His Highness hadn't been looking for your missing young palace master, we would have gone after those iron ore a long time ago, and we might be able to catch those people all at once. Come to think of it, this sudden disappearance is also a part of blocking His Highness's plan." !"

Ye Huaiyun immediately understood why Chu Tingyun's complexion was so bad, he immediately stood up from the bathtub, pulled the cloth towel on the screen to dry himself quickly, took two clean clothes and put them on, and pushed them away The door, and strode out.

The few people outside had drawn their swords and started fighting because of their disagreement.Looking at the moves, it is cold everywhere, almost merciless.

Standing beside Chu Tingyun, Ye Huaiyun took the initiative to shake his hand and intertwined with his own, then picked up two teacups on the stone table in the courtyard, poured his internal energy and threw them at the swords of the fighters go.

With a sound of "pa--", the porcelain cup shattered on the blade of the sword and fell to the ground, and several people looked towards them belatedly.

And when it was clear that the people who came were Ye Huaiyun and Chu Tingyun, the people who were fighting in full swing just a second ago bowed their heads and knelt down.

Ye Huaiyun looked at this scene indifferently, thinking that they are quite united now.

"Who allowed you to fight in private?!" He tried his best to resist the urge to get angry.

Those people lowered their heads instantly, Ye Huaiyun took a deep breath, and asked again: "Who allowed you to make suspicious and false remarks?!"

Still speechless.

He is really rarely so angry, but in Ye Huaiyun's heart, his relationship with Chu Tingyun is the bottom line that cannot tolerate provocation.

Ye Huaiyun turned his head and saw that Chu Tingyun's face was still gloomy, and said, "You can decide what to do with it."

Chu Tingyun stared at the slightly trembling figures of those people, and said in an extremely cold voice, "You know, I hate being slandered the most in my life."

"En." Ye Huai agreed, and he naturally knew it.

Every time he saw these people's expressions of turning right and wrong into black and white, he couldn't help but think of the ugly faces of those officials who impeached Chu Tingyun in the previous court.

At this moment, Chu Tingyun looked at him, as if he had already made up his mind, "Even if I want to kill, follow me?"

Ye Huaiyun said without hesitation, "Yes, it's up to you."

Chu Tingyun let go of the ten fingers held by him, and walked in front of the shadow guards.

His eyes were cold, and he picked up the long sword that fell on the ground with his toes, and then put the long sword on the neck of one of them with his twisted hands, causing the man to tremble immediately, and then he wiped his skin on the blade, scratched There was a bloodstain.

"The subordinates talked nonsense, slandered and slandered the name of the general, and asked General Chu to spare, spare his life."

The man was afraid that Chu Tingyun would really do something, so he immediately spoke very fast but begged for mercy.

Chu Tingyun twitched his lips when he heard the words, but his expression was full of contempt, "I forgot to say, I look down on people who don't have bones to beg for mercy."

Ye Huaiyun stood two steps away from him, clenched the hand hanging by his side little by little.

Seeing that Chu Tingyun was about to exert force, Ye Huaiyun suddenly closed his eyes, and only slowly opened his eyelids when he heard the sound of the long sword falling to the ground in the next second.

The shadow guard was already gasping for breath in fright, just now at the last moment, he thought he was going to die, but Chu Tingyun's sword sharpened suddenly, and only cut off two sections of his hair.

Ye Huaiyun let go of his clenched hands, and also heaved a sigh of relief.

He was betting that Chu Tingyun would not kill people like he did in the capital.

Fortunately...he bet right.

When Chu Tingyun walked back to him, Ye Huaiyun pretended to be puzzled and asked: "Why did you change your mind?"

Chu Tingyun took the cloth towel on the table and wiped his hands, "When I return to the court in the future, all kinds of dirty water will be indispensable. I can kill him now, but I can't kill those who are more slanderous. It's better to get used to it first." Habit."

As he spoke, he pulled Ye Huaiyun over to the Sheriff's Mansion.

After leaving the gate of the mansion, Ye Huaiyun asked him: "Where are you going?"

Chu Tingyun shook his head and said, "If you don't know, just relax."

"Just to relax..." Ye Huaiyun thought for a while, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere."

Chu Tingyun didn't ask, and let him drag him through the long street and alley, and finally stopped in front of a theater.

The babbling opera in the building is accompanied by string music and Qingling. All the spectators order a pot of tea and a few snacks, which is very leisurely and lazy.

The two found a seat with an excellent viewing angle and sat down. At this time, a play about the shortest-lived king in the previous dynasty was being sung on the stage.

The male protagonist in the play is a prince who is not favored. There are not many ministers who support him in the court, and only one general supports him everywhere.

Later, the prince ascended to the throne with the help of the general, and the power in the hands of the general also increased.I thought it was a scene where the emperor and the generals governed Haiyan and Heqing together, but unexpectedly in the next scene, there were many memorials impeaching the general for using power for personal gain in the court hall, disturbing the emperor at a loss.

As soon as the curtain on the stage fell together, the scene instantly changed into a guillotine.

Holding a wine glass in his hand, the emperor called out the general's sign and said, "I'm sorry, I'm the emperor, and I can't tolerate even a little sand in my eyes."

He handed the farewell wine to the general, a tear that was clearer than jade liquid rolled down from his eyes, and he choked up in his throat: "I only hope that in the next life I will not be born in the emperor's house, and that I will continue to live with the general and stay together for the rest of my life. "

After the death of the general, although the emperor still made great efforts to govern, but every time in the middle of the night when no one was whispering, he would inevitably sit in the long night with dim lights, weeping at dawn.

Another night of rain hitting the phoenix trees, the door of the bedroom was suddenly opened.

The emperor looked up, and saw his elder brother, who had been exiled to the feudal domain, walking towards him step by step with a long sword in hand.

The blood stained on the long sword dripped on the white marble floor tiles, drawing a long coiling dragon. The emperor subconsciously called out the general's name, "Help!"

The elder brother smiled sarcastically: "Your Majesty may have forgotten that he was killed by your own hands a long time ago, and no one will guard the world for you anymore!"

At this point in the play, there was still the last scene left, but Ye Huaiyun stood up suddenly, took Chu Tingyun's hand and walked out of the play building, "I don't want to watch it."

Chu Tingyun threw down two copper coins for tea money and asked him, "Why?"

Ye Huaiyun took a deep breath, but he couldn't say why, but watching this scene made him inexplicably irritated.

Just at this moment, a sharp howling sound rose from midair, in the clear blue sky, a hawk suddenly swooped down, and finally landed on Ye Huaiyun's shoulder.

This is... an urgent letter from Beijing and China?

Ye Huaiyun untied the bamboo tube from Yingniao's leg, took out the letter paper inside, and staggered suddenly.

Chu Tingyun hurriedly supported his waist to support him to stand still, his eyes caught a glimpse of the ink on the letter inadvertently.

——His Majesty has passed away, please return to Beijing quickly, Your Highness!
