Yun Luoting heard what Pei Wenxuan meant, as if he came to talk to Pei Xuanchi.

But if you think about it carefully, the two of them should not be familiar with each other, right?

Pei Wenxuan was adopted under the imperial concubine's knee, and nothing had happened for so many years. Not long ago, the imperial concubine went to the general's mansion to look for Pei Xuanchi, and Pei Wenxuan must have been anxious.

It's just... how did Pei Wenxuan know that Pei Xuanchi was here?

There was no doubt at all, he opened his mouth and it was 'Nine Brothers'.

Xu Shi didn't get a response for a while, and Pei Wenxuan said outside again: "Ninth Brother, do you blame me for taking the liberty?"

"Meeting here today is really a coincidence." Pei Wenxuan was afraid that Pei Xuanchi would misunderstand, so he took the initiative to explain: "When I came here, I met Jiudi's carriage outside, and when I took the dagger just now, I heard the sound of the loudspeaker stone next door, and I felt that the sound was familiar. After a little deliberation, I realized that the ninth brother was here, so I blamed me for being abrupt."

Pei Xuanchi got up and opened the door, and said calmly, "What's the matter?"

Pei Wenxuan was about to leave, but when he saw the door open in front of him, he seemed a little unexpected, "Ninth Brother."

After a pause, Pei Wenxuan said, "Actually, it's nothing serious. I just know that Brother Jiu is next door, so I wanted to come over and talk to you."

But... seeing Pei Xuanchi standing in front of the door, with no intention of inviting him in, he couldn't help but glance inside, but couldn't see anything.

Knowing that he came at the wrong time, Pei Wenxuan didn't bother anymore, coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "But just now the boy came to report that something happened in the mansion, Brother Huang will not stay any longer, if there is a chance next time, Ninth Brother must come to my residence to have a drink with Brother Huang."

"Just now I saw that the ninth brother also asked for the price. The ninth brother is probably interested in this dagger, so I will give this dagger to the ninth brother." After speaking, Pei Wenxuan handed the dagger to the second hand standing beside him, and said: " Wrap it up and send it to the Ninth Prince."

"No need."

"Ninth Brother, you don't need to be polite with Brother Huang. You and I are both the sons of a noble concubine, so there is no need to be so humble." Pei Wenxuan didn't hand it to Pei Xuanchi directly at first, because he expected that he would not accept it.

At this moment, he gave the things to Xiao Er, but he didn't continue to stay, he just said: "Brother Huang, go ahead." Then he turned and left.

He walked swiftly and without hesitation, leaving behind the dagger he bought at a high price, Xiao Er hesitated and said, "Your Highness, this dagger..."

Pei Xuanchi said indifferently: "Pack it up and send it to the Fifth Prince's residence."

"Yes."

When Yun Luoting saw him coming back, he didn't ask much about Pei Wenxuan. When he didn't know the depth, he ordered it cautiously, took a bite of the pastry, and said, "The last item in the auction is for cultivation skills, and there is no alchemy furnace."

Pei Xuanchi thought for a while, opened the door again, took off the jade pendant around his waist and handed it to Xiaoer, "Give this jade pendant to your shopkeeper."

Xiao Er paused, "Return to Your Highness, my shopkeeper is not in the capital recently."

"Then wait for him to come back."

"I'm just an ordinary shop waiter, I'm afraid it's..."

Pei Xuanchi said indifferently: "The devilish energy in your body can hardly be suppressed."

The little second's voice paused, his lowered face changed, he took the jade pendant, and replied: "I don't know when the shopkeeper will return, does your highness want to send a message?"

"It's just a deal, he will understand when he sees Yupei."

Xiao Er nodded yes.

It was already dark, and there were far fewer pedestrians on the road. People in the auction house came and left quickly. There was no conversation at this meeting, and the overcrowded room fell silent in the blink of an eye.

Yun Luoting looked up and saw that Pei Xuanchi was talking to Xiao Er.

After Xiao Er left, Yun Luoting got up and put on his outer shirt, walked to Pei Xuanchi with the wrapped spirit grass and asked, "Shall we go home?"

Pei Xuanchi helped him fasten the rope in front of him, he was startled when he heard this, the word never appeared in his memory, the palace was just a residence different from the palace to him.

The existence of Yun Luoting gave him a sense of belonging, and after a while, he said softly, "Well, go home."

---

The snow is melting slowly, but the ice on the road has almost been cleared.

Yun Luoting sat on the carriage going to Dingdong, and there were few people on the way. After leaving the capital, the road became quieter and quieter.

Seeing him looking seriously, Pei Xuanchi was afraid that he would go out to play in the snow, so he asked calmly, "Isn't it cold?"

"Huh?" Yun Luoting put down the hand that opened the curtain, and his fingers were a little stiff.

Pei Xuanchi took his hand, clasped it on his lap, and said casually: "We still have some time to arrive at Dingdong, if you're bored, let's sleep for a while."

Yun Luoting shook his head, "We... ah!"

Before he finished speaking, the carriage suddenly shook, as if something was being pressed down.

Pei Xuanchi raised his hand and hugged Yun Luoting into his arms, and cast aside his consciousness to glance outside.

The horse fell to the ground, and the arrow pierced the horse's leg. After struggling several times, the horse failed to stand up.

Yun Luoting frowned, feeling bad, "What's wrong?"

As soon as the words fell, the puppet's cold voice came from outside: "Your Highness, there are assassins."

The guards following their carriage also swarmed over at this moment, shouting: "Protect Your Highness!"

These guards were all sent by He Yujin. They drew their swords and surrounded the carriage, looking around vigilantly.

For a while, the surrounding area was eerily quiet.

Yun Luoting said in a deep voice: "Are you crazy for such a blatant assassination?"

It must be easy to trace the person behind the scenes, and Pei Xuanchi was ordered by the emperor to go to Dingdong, and the matter of Yan Yin had already involved the crown prince, so the crown prince was the most suspected person at this moment on the road.

Even if Pei Wenyu was lucky enough to make it impossible for Pei Xuanchi to bring the evidence back to his command, the prince would still not be able to escape since He Yujin was still in the capital.

Is this an attempt to kill the fish?

Pei Xuanchi already understood the prince's intentions, "He's just delaying time."

"procrastination?"

"The prime minister should have mentioned a few words about the prince." Pei Xuanchi thought, the prime minister probably wanted to prepare with both hands, not favoring either party, and would also mention the prince on innocuous details.

but……

Pei Xuanchi's puppet in Dingdong had already controlled the situation, even if he stayed here for a few days and nights, he would still be able to bring back the evidence.

When he went to Dingdong, he just made a show to show the emperor, and most of the arrangements were to take the kittens to taste the local food.

The prince was in such a hurry.

Feathered arrows flew towards the direction of the carriage.

The sound of '唰' piercing through the air made the quiet atmosphere a bit more chilling.

The guard was guarding the carriage, brandishing the knife in his hand, and vigorously cut off the feather arrow that flew towards his eyes.

Pei Xuanchi collected his expression, and warned: "Stay inside and don't come out." After saying that, he got off the carriage directly and headed towards the feathered arrow.

"I'll help too—" Yun Luoting didn't finish his sentence, Pei Xuanchi casually placed a restraint on the carriage, Yun Luoting tried to push the curtain away, but it seemed that he had touched a layer of soft air, unable to touch the curtain outside .

The shaking of the carriage caused the curtains to be half-opened.

Yun Luoting saw the feather arrow going straight towards Pei Xuanchi's abdomen, and was startled suddenly, "Be careful!"

With the subconscious movement of the hand, the spiritual power spread out and wrapped around the tip of the feather arrow in an instant, changing the direction of the feather arrow without a trace.

In just a split second, Yun Luoting felt that most of the spiritual power in his body was exhausted, and his body seemed to be exhausted, and it was very difficult to move his fingers.

I thought I was going to turn back into a cat again, but after a while, my spiritual power gradually recovered like a trickle.

Yun Luoting tried to clench his fists, it wasn't the feeling of injecting spiritual power into the meridians due to external force, but a feeling of sudden cultivation.

Yun Luoting was a little puzzled, but didn't think too much about it, and continued to wrap the tip of the feather arrow with spiritual power as before.

It wasn't until the flying feather arrows gradually disappeared and the last feather arrow landed that Yun Luoting restrained his spiritual power.

Not long after, Pei Xuanchi came out from the forest. He wiped his fingertips slowly with a towel. The fire of the underworld was burning in his hand, and the blood-stained towel disappeared instantly.

Yun Luoting lay on the small window, eyes bright, "Xuan Chi! How are you? Are you injured? I just—" The voice gradually fell, Yun Luoting pursed his lips, feeling something was wrong.

Pei Xuanchi felt the spiritual power that hadn't dissipated around him, and he knew what happened just now. He stepped forward and rubbed Yun Luoting's head, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Yun Luoting shook his head, "Just a little...sleepy."

I didn't feel so tired just now, but now I no longer release my spiritual power, and I feel like I'm counterattacking from exhaustion.

Yun Luoting's eyes flickered, and he wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he said, "Meow."

……Eh?

---

There was a lot of delay on the road.

It was already dark when we arrived at Dingdong.

The injured horse was placed in the stable. As soon as Pei Xuanchi arrived in Dingdong, he led people to surround the restaurant without stopping.

Yun Luoting was still sleeping, Pei Xuanchi was worried about leaving him in the inn by himself, so they came together.

The coat is so heavy that even a cat can't be seen inside.

The puppet in the restaurant came out and saluted: "Your Highness, everything has been sorted out, and all the people left by the prince will be captured and wait for His Highness to send them down."

Pei Xuanchi didn't even look at the silver that had been brought out in several large boxes that could not be processed in the future, and said calmly, "The account book and silver that were sold in private salt were sent to the capital overnight, and the news was released that I was attacked on the way, seriously injured, and my life was in danger. The doctor said that it is not appropriate to move around, and I will stay in Dingdong to recuperate."

"Give these evidences to General He, and listen to his arrangements at that time. Remember to ask him to avoid the prince before sending these things into the palace."

"Yes."

After speaking, Pei Xuanchi walked into the restaurant with the kitten in his arms.

Yun Luoting seemed to hear what Pei Xuanchi said in his sleep.

Seriously injured?

Is Pei Xuanchi injured...?

He seemed to have been in a coma for a long time, and he didn't notice the smell of blood on Pei Xuanchi's body.

Pei Xuanchi sent to catch the assassin, but his spiritual power could not fall on Pei Xuanchi.

he is injured……

This consciousness was particularly obvious in his mind, Yun Luoting wanted to open his eyes, but he couldn't do it, he struggled to move his paws, but couldn't get out of his coat.

On the contrary, I am tired of myself.

Pei Xuanchi noticed the movement, and unbuttoned his coat, and saw the little white cat with its eyes closed, stretching out its paws, and tentatively climbing up.

The kitten opened its eyes in a daze, trying to resist the drowsiness. There was a hazy layer of moisture in the light blue cat's pupils. Maybe it was not awake yet, and its paws were weakly resting on his shoulders.

Pei Xuanchi quickly reached out to support the little guy and asked, "What's wrong?"

The little white cat lay down in front of him and raised its head, its forehead pressed against Pei Xuanchi's eyebrows, its eyelids slightly drooping and asked, "Is it... serious?"

The voice sounded tired, but a trace of spiritual power still radiated from Pei Xuanchi's body, as if he wanted to help him suppress the pain caused by the wound.

Pei Xuanchi's heart trembled, his voice was a little unsteady, "No, I'm not injured, don't worry, go to sleep."

Yun Luoting blinked lightly, "... Meow."

As long as you don't get hurt.
