"Xiaoyuan is here! Come and take a look, this is the beautiful scenery of the pear garden newly painted by Ah Mo for my mother!"

The Mother of the Great Liang, Empress Fu Yueying held up a piece of rice paper with wet ink on it and showed it to her younger son. The women on the paper were all painted with vermilion and emerald greens, and Yingying Yanyan was dazzled.

Where is the beauty here...all beauties...

"A few days ago, the Di Jing delegation brought their theater troupe with them. They will perform in the palace in a few days. It just so happens that you are all here, Mo Xiaoyuan. Let's take a look when the time comes."

Something happened to Di Jing when he visited the second prince last time, it would be impossible to let him go this time.

Since the queen mother said so, it must be the meaning of the father, Qi Yuan agreed, but remembered his own speculation.

Fu Yueying didn't see the sudden change in the youngest son's face, but asked the parents of the two brothers for a long time, the child was never by her side, and her husband was busy with state affairs, so in this palace wall, even a person who could speak his mind could not No, Fu Yueying is bored.

So they couldn't stop once they said these words, and the two people who spoke directly were let out of Caiyue Palace only after they fell asleep.

"Finally escaped!" Qi Mo breathed in the fresh air first, eh!The breath of nature!After sighing, I thought of my brother.

"Why did you come to me so late? What happened?" Qi Mo asked.

Qi Yuan didn't tell Uncle Zhao what he said, Su Lan couldn't possibly be the one who hurt the second brother, there's no need to say it to increase suspicion between them.

Qi Yuan said: "There is indeed something I want to ask, but you stay away from me, the ink on your hand rubbed against me."

Qi Mo: Oh!

It wasn't until Qi Mo took two steps back that he continued, "Have you ever seen a Jianghu person from Daliang in Dijing? Think about it carefully, it's very important!"

Hearing that the tone in his words was indeed serious, Qi Mo also put away his playful thoughts, frowned and began to think carefully.

Of course, he went to Di Jing not just for the simple reason of wanting to see A Lan's hometown.

What happened to the second brother and the strange things that have happened repeatedly over the years, not only myself and Qi Yuan, but the old man also has ideas.

All the clues point to one place, and that is Di Jing.So it's not that he didn't do nothing in Di Jing, "Most of the people who go from Daliang to Di Jing are business travelers, and there are very few people from the Jianghu who go there, but I do think of one person when you say that." Because of that People are really... unforgettable.

"I saw it when I was leaving the customs. No matter how you look at it, that person looks like a drunkard. He smells like alcohol, but he is holding a broken sword. His eyes are full of gloom when he looks over, but he is indeed a martial artist. That’s right, they did some good deeds of chivalry.” That’s why he didn’t pay much attention to this person, could it have something to do with what they were investigating?

Qi Yuan frowned deeply, "Qingwu's "Drunken Song" Ye Zhan, to tell you the truth, I saw him today. "If it's what he thought, why would Shen Yanhuan look like he doesn't know him at all?

Qi Mo turned pale in shock and said, "What? Why are you related to Qingwu?" And the cutie in his family seems to belong to Qingwu, right?

Qi Yuan knew what he was thinking, "I don't know what role Qingwu played in this matter, but it must have nothing to do with my family."

Qi Mo chuckled and said according to his words: "I probably already know what role Di Jing played in this matter, but it must have nothing to do with my family."

"However, in this way, you knew that Qingwu was related to this matter before you left him?" It goes without saying who he is.

Qi Yuan didn't hide it either, "I do know that there is something wrong with Qingwu, but why did you keep him..." He pointed to the top, with a mysterious expression, "God's will..."

If you don't want to say it, don't say it, Qi Mo rolled his eyes, and now he is pretending like a Taoist priest.

"How did you find out about the girl in red? The old man asked about it when he came back today."

Qi Yuan smiled deeply: "I'm waiting for someone, and there will probably be a result soon."

Qi Yuan came out of the palace and walked back along the wide streets in the royal city.Even though it is already late at night, there are still many brightly lit shops and many hawkers hawking along the street. This is a unique scene in Daliang King City.

Back then, his mother insisted on building his mansion next to this bustling street, because she was afraid that he would really pursue the immortal way, so that he would be more exposed to the smoke and fire of the world.

He went back to the house, but didn't see Shen Yanhuan's figure. He paused his hand on the door, then turned around and walked out of the yard to look for it. The old housekeeper quickly grabbed him and pointed to the roof with a smile.

The old butler is an ordinary old man, and he has no ability to remove roof tiles. He tried to persuade Ye Fengliang several times to let the child go back to the house. A lifetime thing.

But Shen Yanhuan refused to come down.

The old butler had no choice but to bring him a jar of wine and a thin cloak.

He took it now, and thanked him earnestly.

Quite polite... the old housekeeper thought.

Those who didn't come, Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, let the old butler go to rest first, and went up to the roof by himself.

When he got closer, he found that Shen Yanhuan seemed a little drunk, with a red face holding his sword and resting his cheeks, and looking into the distance with hazy eyes, muttering something in his mouth.

"Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, why do I have no money."

Qi Yuan couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Why do you want to be rich?"

Shen Yanhuan condescended to raise her eyelids to take a look at him, then hugged the sword in her hand even tighter, curling up in an almost nostalgic posture.

"If you have money, you can get the old man down from the mountain and move him into a big house. Maybe he won't be thinking about courting death so much all day long."

This sentence is full of affection, and the deep sadness is almost overflowing his chest. Qi Yuan thought about it for a while, and was about to comfort him verbally, but he heard him continue: "And if you have money, you can buy a lot of things." Eat, and hit whoever you want, and throw the banknote at his face, it's so cool!"

"In short, being rich means you can do whatever you want." Shen Yanhuan said firmly.

"Although there is some truth in what you say..." For example, throwing money at people sounds really cool. "But it's okay to be my little wife, after all, I'm very powerful."

"My God, Qi Yuan!" Shen Yanhuan said in disbelief, "Have you swelled to the point of smoking?"

He was drunk at first, but as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he woke up with a jolt.

Where did the smoke come from?The house of Linhuazhai was built extremely high. When it was repaired, it was said to be convenient for Qi Yuan to watch the stars at night, but in fact it was to be able to comprehensively observe the changes around the royal city.

Looking from the direction in front of Shen Yanhuan, a puff of thick black smoke rose from behind Qi Yuan. He stood up and looked there. Make half the sky red.

Qi Yuan quickly exchanged glances with him, over there is... Yunyang County!

"go!"

The two walked very fast, stepping on the roof all the way and heading straight out of the city.

Shen Yanhuan knew that Qi Yuan knew martial arts, but she didn't expect that he could keep up with her, and even slowed down her pace intentionally or unintentionally.

It's not that he brags, but what Bai Rensheng pays most attention to is lightness kungfu and swordsmanship. Swordsmanship is for him to hit people, and lightness kung fu is for escaping his life.

So although Shen Yanhuan's swordsmanship is well-known in the Jianghu, among the two, his lightness kung fu is actually better at swordsmanship.

Want to find a chance to fight!

"It's not very good."

Qi Yuan's voice came along with the sound of beating the gong for warning, they were already very close to the place where the fire broke out, Shen Yanhuan wanted to go further, but was stopped by Qi Yuan.

The yamen servants arrived quickly, coming and going, not slacking off to put out the fire, and thanks to Liang Wang’s promotion of emergency measures for flooding in the whole Daliang, almost every household has a large tank full of water and a small wooden box that is easy to carry. bucket.

The fire quickly subsided, and Xu Mao actually ran around carrying water to put out the fire himself. His round fleshy face was black and red from the fire.

"Master Xu." The two of them fell from the sky, and Xu Mao's whole body trembled in fright.After seeing who it was, Xu Mao narrowed his eyes and almost cried.

"Oh, Si... Qi Daochang! You are here! This, this..." He stayed there for a long time, but he was so anxious that he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Qi Yuan stretched out a finger and pressed his forehead to signal him to calm down.

"Master Xu, listen to me and ask you a few words."

Xu Mao nodded hurriedly, and handed over the bag in his hand to the master who also had a black and red face.

"The accident happened in the village where the murder occurred?"

Xu Mao slapped his thigh hard and nodded his head like pounding garlic. The fire is not the same as that of Chemen Village!

"When you came, did you hear any movement?"

Xu Mao was taken aback for a moment, they rushed over as soon as they received the news, and they really didn't hear anything.

"This... nothing happened."

Qi Yuan stared into his eyes, "You have to think about it, is there really "no sound at all"? "

Xu Mao thought about it carefully, and replied with certainty: "It's true, there is no sound at all."

There is such a big fire, but there is no sound, it can only show that the people in this village have all died before the fire broke out.Who killed them?What is this fire... trying to cover up?

"There is one last question. Is there a carpenter in this village?"

"There is indeed no carpenter in this village! Usually, if someone in the village wants to make a table and chair, it is the woodcutter who helps him. Oh, he was the first one to meet the girl in red."

Seeing that he was frowning and not speaking, Xu Mao asked boldly, "Qi Daochang... what do you know?"

Qi Yuan nodded and said: "Tomorrow the county government will tell you, I do have some clues."

Xu Mao responded repeatedly, seeing that Qi Yuan didn't seem to have anything to say, so he resigned cautiously and went to clean up the mess.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Xu, who looks so stupid, is actually a rare good official." Shen Yanhuan said looking at Xu Mao's chubby figure shuttling through the ruins.
