Once upon a time there was a mountain of secrets

"Patriarch, a message from the palace has arrived."

Ji Yichen lay reclined on the couch, and when he heard the servant's report, he opened his eyes instantly.

"how?"

"Red bug, it seems that His Majesty is very concerned about the living corpse Gu."

For this answer, Ji Yichen seemed to have expected it a long time ago, and the expression on his face did not change much. "What's the news from Zuoqiu's family and Damu's family?"

"After coming out of the palace today, Da Muhao went to Zuoqiu's house and didn't come out until after dinner."

"Have spies been sent in?"

The servant shook his head. "The outside of Zuoqiu's house is loose and the inside is tight, so it's not easy to check."

"Where's Emperor Nanhui?" Ji Yichen continued to ask.

The servant was silent for a long time, slowly shaking his head.

Ji Yichen was furious, stepped forward and slapped the servant on the face, and said angrily: "I don't know anything, what's the use?"

The servant knelt down and explained: "Go home, Emperor Nanhui seems to have only brought a few entourages into the palace, but around him are all strong hidden guards. The brothers we sent to inquire, all of them went to the palace. No return."

Ji Yichen seemed to have been suppressed for a long time, the expression on his face was very distorted.

"I really want to know how the Emperor Nanhui knew about the living corpse Gu. If he said it so well, if he didn't know that no living corpse was ever sent to attack him, I would have believed it."

"Patriarch, that Emperor Nanhui was obviously in collusion with the Zuoqiu family, and put on a good show, deliberately saying that he was attacked by a living corpse."

"I don't understand. How did Nanhui know about the living corpse Gu? Emperor Nanhui described the living corpse in such detail, the emperor would naturally not be suspicious, but would be furious. At that time, he would definitely order the Zuoqiu family and The Damu family is investigating openly, and there must be a wave of people secretly investigating."

The servant hurriedly got up and said in a panic, "Patriarch, what should we do now?"

"Are there any suspicious people and suspicious things in the mansion recently?"

The servant thought for a while, then shook his head and said, "Not at all. The Patriarch suspects that the secrets of the family have been leaked?"

Ji Yichen snorted coldly, and said, "If not, then how could they make a play about living corpses?"

The servant was shocked: "Then...then don't they know?"

Ji Yichen raised his hand and said: "If they knew, they would have done it directly, why bother to make such a fuss."

"But……"

"They should have just found some clues. Contact that person's person quickly and ask what should be done next."

"Yes."

Ji Yichen's face looked cloudy and uncertain under the dancing candlelight, but he continuously exuded a hostility, which made his already sick face extremely distorted...

However, what Ji Yichen didn't expect was that the pigeon he sent out had just flown out of Ji's house, and was robbed by Gu Moqian's hidden guard before it could fly far away.

Xin Mufei, who originally planned to do something in the dark, gritted his teeth and had to go back to Gong Jiuqing first.

……

"Ji's Feige sent a letter out of the city?" Gong Jiuqing asked in confirmation.

Xin Mufei lay on the bed and said: "Yes, yes, but it was intercepted by your old friend."

Gong Jiuqing was still sitting on the small couch, holding a bamboo slip in her hand and carefully stroking it.Said: "That's good, we don't need to trouble you about the next thing. After the state banquet, let's leave."

"Just leave like that?"

"Do you still want to go to the emperor to ask for a reward?"

"Hmph, I'm Xin Mufei, who is called a ghost thief by people in the Jianghu. I will ask for rewards? I'm all..." Xin Mufei didn't finish his sentence, but he made a cheap stealing gesture.

Although Gong Jiuqing didn't read it, she knew what he was going to say.Then he said, "What are you looking at again?"

"Hehehe, I found that this ghost show is different from other places. The most important things in other places are gold, silver and treasures, but this ghost show is actually those bugs."

"Don't underestimate those bugs. It's because of those bugs that your whereabouts were exposed."

"what?"

"Da Muhao came to me today and appointed me to be in contact with the Ji family. The reason is that a bug called Xunwei Gu followed you to the Ji family."

Xin Mufei sat up suddenly, and said: "Fuck, it's true."

"Why are you lying to me?"

"Then if this is the case, will my whereabouts be exposed at the Ji family?"

Gong Jiuqing was slightly taken aback, he hadn't thought about this question, but he didn't expect Xin Mufei to think about it.

Gong Jiuqing thought for a while, and said: "If it is discovered, this Zuoqiu family will not be so quiet. But just in case, it's better to go and investigate."

Xin Mufei nodded. "Well, it is indeed necessary."

Gong Jiuqing put down the book, turned to 'look' at Xin Mufei, and said, "I didn't expect you to be quite responsible sometimes."

Xin Mu raised his chin and said, "That's right. But having said that, don't you worry about leaving the follow-up matters to them?"

"What's there to worry about? One of them is an emperor, and the other two are dragons and phoenixes. Naturally, their methods are no worse than mine."

"I think they are all idiots. If it weren't for you, they would have locked onto the Ji family so quickly and discovered the living corpse gu?"

Gong Jiuqing smiled and said, "Do you know what luck and Qi are?"

Seeing that Gong Jiuqing was about to start giving lectures, Xin Mufei hurriedly begged for mercy: "Master Gong, please forgive me, I really don't understand your big questions."

Gong Jiuqing chuckled and said, "Master Gong. This title is really good."

"Yes, yes, as long as you feel good."

Gong Jiuqing still said: "Everything in the world has this invisible aura that attracts everyone. Although I often say that the so-called fate is determined by character, in fact, this pure aura in the world is Things that can affect fate. Wind, light, water, air, people, place, time, even sound, direction, etc. all determine the fate of people.”

"You mean, you can see that aura?" Xin Mufei asked expectantly, as nervous as if he had discovered a god-man, and then determined whether he was a god or not.

Gong Jiuqing was stunned for a while, and remained silent for a long time.Said: "This...is just what the book said."

"cut……"

"But sometimes things like luck are really mysterious."

Xin Mufei got off the bed, leaned towards Gong Jiuqing, and said, "You said every time you tell someone's fortune, how do you do it?"

"Didn't I teach you?"

"Cut, whoever counts the wind and the water, who can count it."

"That's it. The method is so simple, but not everyone can use it."

Xin Mufei asked curiously: "Then you figured out the Ji family, did you really figure it out?"

Gong Jiuqing smiled cheaply and said, "Guess...".Originally, he had a nondescript goatee, so he looked like a profiteer when he laughed like this, which made people want to beat him up.

Xin Mufei slapped Gong Jiuqing on the head, causing Gong Jiuqing to grit his teeth in pain. "I'm giving you back, don't you? Believe it or not, I beat you to the ground."

"Just kidding, what?"

"Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly."

"Ji's family... It's half done by fortune-telling and deduction, and half by deliberation."

"How to say?"

"At the beginning, I figured out that the catastrophe came from Ayong City, and after entering the city, it pointed to the southwest. The location has been approximated... It's not difficult to guess the Ji family."

Xin Mufei nodded half understanding.

Gong Jiuqing said: "Don't you want to go and see if your appearance is exposed?"

Xin Mufei patted his head and said, "Look at me..."

After finishing speaking, he disappeared into the room...
