Wu Yu

Zhou Xi brought Xie Lingyu into the palace, Xie Lingyu was a little restless all the way, secretly guessing why His Majesty summoned him.

"Young Master Xie, don't be nervous. Your Majesty has something to ask." Zhou Xi walked ahead, but seemed to have anticipated his thoughts.

Xie Lingyu's heart relaxed, but he still didn't dare to relax his vigilance.

After a while, the two arrived in front of the Hall of Qinzheng, where His Majesty usually meets with ministers and corrects memorials.

"Your Majesty, Mr. Xie has arrived."

Zhou Xi stepped forward and said softly, then stepped aside after speaking.

Zhong Lu heard the sound and put down the document in his hand.

Xie Lingyu saluted neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty."

Chong Lu nodded his head to show his disrespect. He was an upright man, but his eyes were gloomy and self-possessed, and he looked very evil.

Chong Lu didn't say any unnecessary nonsense, but frowned and said, "Recently there has been news from Zizhou that a large number of refugees have flooded into the city without warning, and the adults in the court have not noticed anything unusual in their jurisdiction."

"The reason I called you here this time is because I want you to go and investigate, do you have any objections?"

Xie Lingyu's eyes flickered when he heard "Zizhou", but on the surface he was calm, and saluted respectfully: "I will not disgrace my mission."

------

His Majesty issued an urgent order, and they had no choice but to set off immediately.

Going to Zizhou with Xie Lingyu were Meng Yi and a military officer surnamed He, who was sent by His Majesty to protect them.There are not many people in the entourage, so as not to startle the snake.

Zizhou is not far away, but it is not close either.They also spent a lot of energy on the road, and they are a little tired at the moment.

"You said that there has been no sound recently. Where did so many refugees come from?" Meng Yi couldn't help leaning over to ask the two of them as they rode their horses.

Seeing the outline of a small town not far away, Xie Lingyu sighed, and hit Meng Yi on the head with the folding fan unceremoniously: "Stupid thing, it's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster."

Meng Yi frowned and thought for a moment, then clapped his hands: "You said it was..."

Xie Lingyu caught a glimpse of Military Officer He from the corner of his eye, then embraced Meng Yi, patted him on the shoulder pretending to be rough, and said softly, "Go back and tell..."

Noisy voices came, the houses in the town were densely packed, and it looked very lively.Xie Lingyu led people past a large restaurant, saw that the environment was clean, and decided to rest here.

His eyes glanced at the small wooden plaque hanging under the plaque, with delicate patterns engraved on it, Fox in the Mist.

Several people paid the bill and went to the door of the room led by the servant.

Military Officer He was a rough man, not good at words, he greeted them in a polite manner, and then went to the room, his attitude was not warm.

The servant put the luggage into the room lightly, and was sweating from exhaustion. Seeing this, Xie Lingyu gave some more money: "Thanks for your hard work."

"It's not hard, it's not hard, you are polite..." The young man smirked honestly, took the money and thanked the two young men, and left in a hurry.

Meng Yi looked at the inn and poured two glasses of water himself: "Zizhou has never had anything wrong in these years, how could it suddenly..."

Xie Lingyu picked up the teacup and shook his head: "He Wei didn't give me any news, so I guess it's not Zizhou's problem."

Meng Yi was puzzled, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind: "You know?"

Xie Lingyu twitched the corners of his mouth mockingly: "Your Majesty sent me to investigate, which is Zizhou City."

This investigation is clearly him, Xie Lingyu. First, he came to test the relationship between the Zizhou city lord and the Xie family, and second, the Xie family was very popular. If there was something hidden about the refugees, the Xie family was half-hearted. Everyone knows where it came from.

------

The fog surrounds the mountains, and you can't see the deep scenery, but you can hear the birds singing.

Hawkeye skillfully jumped over the rock in a few breaths, and went straight to an inconspicuous rock. He took out a jade pendant from his arms and put it on the rock.

The inconspicuous rock changed in an instant, thick fog was everywhere, a lifelike white jade fox was holding a jade pendant in its mouth, and behind it were exquisite and gorgeous palaces and pavilions.

The main pavilion is Wurao Pavilion, the residence of Patriarch Qingqiu.

The other five floors are the elite who stayed at the headquarters.

The five buildings are surrounded by the Wurao Pavilion, which is shocking at first glance. It is hard to imagine that this is an organization hidden in the dark. I just feel that if it is alive, it must be extraordinary.

There is a hot spring beside the misty pavilion, and there is a small courtyard in the depths.

As soon as Hawkeye landed, he saw a man in a white robe leaning lazily on the chair, pinching his legs with golden dog legs, and even feeding him a piece of fruit while he was in the gap.

Luhui and Longduo were playing chess, and Longduo saw his eyes glow, as if he saw a savior.

Except for the fact that the task is in front of them, everyone else is lazy and looks like they are retiring in advance.

Hawkeye suppressed a sigh and called out, "Master."

Only then did the man forcefully open his eyes, waved away the golden cicada who was flattering Qian, and sat up straight: "Have the refugees arrived in Zizhou?"

The chess players also stopped their movements, and when they encountered business, they finally put away their lazy looks.

Hawkeye was a little aggrieved when he said it: "Yes... Qingcheng is too remote. Even if our people take care of us all the way, there are still many people who are sick to the bone and die on the road."

The atmosphere suddenly sank, and Long Duo couldn't help cursing angrily: "The imperial court is really a nest of snakes and rats, and there is no cure for it! The grandson of Chongzu spent all his thoughts on the dragon chair. Isn’t it that there is no news at all in Beijing?”

Lu Hui sighed and shook his head: "Chonglu is not such a waste, I'm afraid he got the news a long time ago, he's just not in a hurry, the lives of the people are not important to him right now."

Jin Chan held the cup, glanced at Qingqiu Jue, seemingly casually said: "Young Master Xie's family seems to be arriving in Zizhou soon, I'm here now... No, we live in the restaurant under our name."

Everyone looked at each other.

Qingqiu Jue didn't even raise his eyelids, and didn't respond to Jin Chan's temptation, he just said: "Zizhou is the territory of the He family, so I still can't let go of my guard if I kill you again, but I really thank him... directly send Xie Lingyu to We're coming."

The few people were silent for a while, and Hawkeye hesitated and said: "Young master, the Xie family is half of the imperial court after all, and the eldest son of the Xie family may not necessarily take this muddy water."

Qingqiu Jue pursed his lips into a smile, leaned back lazily again, closed his eyes and waved his hands: "Go and check the 'dangerous building', maybe there will be unexpected gains."

Surprise flashed in Eagle's eyes, he nodded and said, "Yes."

------

The town was densely populated, Meng Yi was hinted by Xie Lingyu, hooking Officer He's neck to call him brother and brother, and after a while, the two of them traveled from the south to the north of the sea, and chatted from the capital to the frontier.

Xie Lingyu secretly gave him a thumbs up.

Although Military Officer He is the eyeliner, his task is to keep an eye on Meng Yi and Xie Lingyu for any changes. Now that they are under his nose, he unconsciously relaxes his vigilance.

Xie Lingyu naturally proposed to have a meal first, saying that he had a day off today and would be able to go to Zizhou City tomorrow, and asked about the town's special snacks on the way.

Military Officer He didn't notice anything, after all, it's time for dinner, so there's nothing wrong.

A few people talked and laughed and entered a specialty restaurant. Military Officer He didn't notice at all that on the plaque at the door, there was a very small flag embroidered with stars and a building with a missing corner.

Dangerous flag, the symbol of "dangerous building".
