Wen Renhuang slapped a sweeping servant on the back of the neck, muttering "I'm sorry, I can borrow your clothes", and skillfully dragged him into a small bush by the road.After a while, there was an unfamiliar servant in the palace.

After thinking about it, he felt that the scabbard should be brought back, after all, it was the only token on Qihuang Mountain. If Qihuang Mountain really decided to break up with Huo Xiao in the end, this could not be a weakness of Qihuang Mountain.If he wanted to get back the scabbard, he had to do it secretly. The way Huo Xiao looked at him when he finally left made him feel that if he met again, Huo Xiao would cramp and skin him.

He wandered outside the general's mansion for several days, looking at it intentionally or unintentionally, and found out that Huo Xiao lived here in the capital. Huo Xiao went to court every morning and would not return home until noon, so he made a decisive decision early in the morning. Infiltrating into the palace, he wanted to steal his scabbard back before Huo Xiao returned to the palace.

I just hope that the fainted man in the grove will not be found.

He bowed his head and held up the broom to pretend to clean, and changed places immediately when there was no one around.I don't know what Huo Xiao thought, but the layout of the General's Mansion in the capital is almost the same as that of Prince Duan's Mansion in Ning'an. In the study, if you want to find something important now, you must go to the study to find it.

Fortunately, the location of the study was almost the same, and he found it without much effort.

It was a bit chilly early in the morning, and the few small trees in front of the study were covered with a layer of dew. Wen Renhuang shook his body, secretly hid the broom under the tree, and opened the door to enter the room.

The Double Ninth Festival is approaching, the temperature is a little cold in the morning and evening, and there is still a warm atmosphere in the room. It seems that Huo Xiao has just left the house not long ago, so his timing is quite accurate.

There were a lot of files piled up on the desk, and he couldn't see what was there at a glance. He frowned and looked around, the light was slightly dim.

Don't think about it, start looking for it on the table first.

He randomly picked up a book about self-cultivation.

"Tch, I'm so old, is it still too late?" He remembered the other party's bad temper, put it down with disdain, and opened another book, most of which were not very useful.

After turning over the entire table, there was no sign of the scabbard. He couldn't help but be afraid, did Huo Xiao find out that the scabbard was unusual when he broke through the encirclement with the scabbard, so he had already hidden the scabbard?

If it is really hidden, where is he going to find this huge General's Mansion...

After walking a few more steps, I saw all kinds of playthings on the sandalwood racks where antiques were placed, but I didn't see them at a glance.

He lowered his voice and whispered, "Xiao Hui..."

I don't know if this method will work, but if you don't try, you may not even be able to find Tianhe.He bowed his body and called Xiao Hui in a low voice, trying to find a pinch of dancing gray in the gray light.

"Little Hui...Little..."

"Ah……"

A soft sound suddenly sounded uncomfortable, and Wen Renhuang's face froze instantly.

He felt like he bumped into someone...

He tried his best to look up, and there was a familiar blue corner of his clothes in his eyes.

"Qu Ning." He covered his mouth to prevent himself from exclaiming. Qu Ning was hung on the beam with his hands raised high. He was shocked when he suddenly saw it in the dimly lit room!

Qu Ning slowly opened his eyes, his face pale.

"Why are you here?" Wen Renhuang suppressed the panic in his heart and asked hastily. He found that Qu Ning's condition is very bad now, it seems that he has been imprisoned for many days.

Qu Ning glanced at him, then closed his eyes tiredly: "Master Wenren finally came back to look for the prince?"

So now that he is dying and still so concerned about his oolong relationship with the prince, Wen Renhuang is so moved that he has nothing to say.

"My lord is in a bad mood. If Mr. Wenren comes back, I think Qu Ning won't be angered again... cough cough!"

He said awkwardly: "Slow down, you're going to cough to death, how long have you not eaten?"

Qu Ning's chapped lips moved: "I have been hanged by the prince for three days."

Three days...

"Where did you offend him?" He couldn't bear to ask, and when he stood up, he saw that Qu Ning's wrist had been drawn with a purple scar by the rope.

Qu Ning's eyes trembled slightly: "Heiluan is trying to murder the prince, Mr. Wenren, what do you think I have offended the prince?"

His jaw almost dropped to the ground.

"But Lord Luan has healed the prince's wounds!"

Qu Ning smiled wryly: "That's why people are on guard."

The more open-minded Qu Ning was, the weirder he felt about this matter. Some people would admit that they wanted to kill someone, but very few people would smile wryly at the same time, as if hesitating back and forth between admitting and denying.

But he can't control this matter too much, Hei Luan is Qihuang Mountain's enemy after all, if Hei Luan's people are going to be killed by Huo Xiao, he can't rescue them again in a fever.

"Do you remember the scabbard I gave you that night?" He cut straight to the point, distracted.

Qu Ning thought for a while: "The scabbard was found by the prince when it got into the car. He took the scabbard and put it away."

He suddenly frowned: "Put it away? Didn't he show the scabbard to the archers outside the alley?"

"I told the prince Wenren what you mean, but the prince didn't say anything at that time, and no one attacked us when we left the alley." Qu Ning recalled the scene at that time, and couldn't help smiling again, "The carriage stopped halfway, Originally, I wanted to send the prince back to the General's Mansion, but after getting off the car, I saw that the prince's Huben camp had arrived."

Hearing the word "Hu Benying", he looked at Qu Ning blankly. Could it be that this "Hu Benying" wiped out all the three thousand archers that Crow had prepared?

Qu Ning lowered his eyes and said in a low voice: "So, he is so stupid, let King Duan really hate Hei Luan, who is King Duan, how could he be in the enemy camp but not fully prepared? , dragons screaming and tigers rushing, any battalion is enough..."

The "he" in that mouth must be Lord Luan, Qu Ning's voice became weaker and weaker afterward, he took a look and saw that Qu Ning's eyes were already dull, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was bitter but cold.

"You...what's the matter with you..." He couldn't bear to ask, although he claimed that he was not a kind person, but the person who had taken care of him for a while in front of him was now in such a mess, and showing such an expression was really shocking He couldn't bear it.

Qu Ning shook his head: "Why did Mr. Wenren come here this time?"

He hesitated, whether to tell him that he came to steal something, even though the scabbard was his own.

Qu Ning grinned lightly: "I almost forgot, Mr. Wenren chose to go with Qihuang Mountain that day, I am afraid that the purpose of visiting the palace this morning will not be so simple."

He felt a little awkward, and the obvious irony in Qu Ning's words made him feel a little ashamed.A few days ago, he was lying under the noses of others and claiming to be Duan Wang's male favourite, but in a blink of an eye the lie was self-defeating, and the fact that he was from Mount Huangshan slapped himself and Huo Xiao in the face.

"You take care of yourself," he muffled, "If you haven't seen my things, I'll leave."

"I'm afraid it's easy for Mr. Wenren to enter the mansion, but it's difficult to leave the mansion." Qu Ning lowered his eyes and said in a low voice.

He was surprised: "Why!"

Qu Ning smiled wryly: "In the past few days, there have been countless black luan dead soldiers in the palace who have fallen into the mud to save me. King Duan will not stop those who enter the general's palace, but they will not be able to escape."

He felt a faint chill behind him.

"Every time a dead Heiluan is caught, King Duan will tell me that they never thought that I would be imprisoned in King Duan's study instead of the prison in the General's Mansion."

Qu Ning lowered his head and coughed a few more times, he couldn't bear to see this man who used to be Zhuo Shijia's son now turn into such a mess, maybe Huo Xiao did it on purpose just to use him to lure Lord Luan. He tortured in every possible way.The man's method was really cruel, and he couldn't help shivering.

"Young Master Wenren, who are you?" Qu Ning asked calmly, turning his head.

He was listless: "I'm really just an ordinary person. You also explored my breath at that time, and you have no spiritual power."

"If it was an ordinary person, why would he recognize Wu Ya and other people from Qihuang Mountain, and how could he have a token that he thought he could retreat?"

"Maybe... I'm an ordinary person who is deeply loved by Qihuang Mountain." Apart from this, even he himself couldn't think of a better reason.

Qu Ning smiled, noncommittal: "I hope the prince thinks so, so that after Mr. Wenren is caught, he won't suffer too much."

Wen Renhuang felt that it was even more difficult. This kind of feeling of being judged to have no return was really not good. He frowned and said, "I won't be caught, you should do it yourself!"

Qu Ning lowered his head and smiled lightly, casually as if he had seen through everything.

Wen Renhuang straightened his clothes unhappily, and was about to go out, when suddenly there were several footsteps at the door!

He stopped breathing, and looked at Qu Ning almost instinctively.

At this moment, the morning light was getting brighter, Qu Ning could already see the expression on Qu Ning's face, pale with surprise and uncertainty: "The prince came back so early today!"

"Is my luck really bad!" He wailed in a low voice and retreated into the room, looking for a place to hide.Qu Ning frowned and remained silent. According to his observations in the past few days, Huo Xiao shouldn't be in the palace at this time, so who made the commotion outside.

The footsteps outside the door started from near to far, and finally reached the door. The visitor pushed open the door, and Wen Renhuang narrowly hid in a wardrobe in the study.

He peeked through a gap to see a person wearing a gray cloak walking towards Qu Ning very quickly.

"You..." Qu Ning's eyes widened.

The man didn't speak, and quickly tried to untie the rope that bound Qu Ning's wrist.

"Don't touch it! It's poisonous!" Qu Ning suddenly struggled and tried his best to stay away from this person so that he wouldn't touch the rope.

The man paused for a moment, and then continued to try to untie it without saying a word. "Are you crazy? Go away, King Duan will be back soon!"

Qu Ning, who had been tied up for three days, gradually lost the strength to struggle, and could only let the man loosen him slowly.

"Why did you come here? You clearly know that Prince Duan is waiting for you to throw yourself into a trap." Once Qu Ning's hands were untied, he collapsed into the arms of the man, and said bitterly.

Wen Renhuang's eyes widened, he seemed to see a very strange face!

Lord Luan no longer has any scars on his face, his thick eyebrows and sharp eyes are heroic, and his haggard appearance that day seems to be just a fake.

"Persevere, I'll take you out." The tone was also very different from that day.

"Why be in such a hurry, the eldest son is here, let's sit down and have a good chat with this king."

Wen Renhuang, who was wondering if this person was Lord Luan, suddenly heard this voice, leaned back in fright, and touched a hard metal on his back.

The author has something to say: something has happened recently, and I have to stop for a few more days to consult and research and other things _(:з」∠)_

After I came back, I double updated again to express my guilt_(:з」∠)_
