subordinates dare not

However, the fact that "Yan Yuanbai" was included in the list cannot be discussed in detail with Bian Qingyu, or even mentioned. Explain clearly.

What's more, Meng Fuyuan didn't want to reveal Huo Yi's identity to others for a while, including the shadow guards, because there was a traitor among the shadow guards, and it was indistinguishable from friend to foe.

Therefore, the fact that Huo Yi is "Yan Yuanbai" can temporarily rot in Meng Fuyuan's heart. In this way, if he wants to find Huo Yi right now, he has to act alone and do it himself.

Meng Fuyuan thought again, with Huo Yi's temperament, if he heard the wind in the small bamboo forest at that time, he would definitely go to the main hall to listen to his orders. The late-night convening meant that the situation had changed. Huo Yi will not ignore the ever-changing situation, if the only scruple is to say, it may only be the identity of "Yan Yuanbai", an outsider, but what Meng Fuyuan said last time is clear, Huo Yi also sees through it, and the two just One layer of window paper is short, and we can be honest with each other.

It can be seen from this that Huo Yi must have been outside Zhulin Xiaozhu at that time.

Thinking of this, Meng Fuyuan immediately put away the list and got up to leave.

But where could Huo Yi go?

The crescent moon is bright, the sky is dark, and there are no stars and rivers for thousands of miles. Only the condensed night and the broken wind of winter are intertwined, weaving into a giant net, floating in the eclipsed sky, covering the confused and ignorant people, waiting for an opportunity If they move, maybe they will be smashed down on their heads and faces in the next moment. No one is spared, and they all fall into the net.

It was getting late, and he had to start his journey tomorrow, did he really want to go out and look for someone now?Leaving aside whether we can find it within two hours, Bian Qingyu might be suspicious.

While walking, Meng Fuyuan was thinking about these things, and after a while, Meng Fuyuan suddenly realized that he had already unknowingly walked to the shadow wall. One piece, following the whereabouts of the moon and turning slowly from the soles of his feet, Meng Fuyuan suddenly stopped, and as far as he could see, the gate was tightly closed, unmoved by the wind and rain, standing in front of him like a mountain.

do you want to go?

Before Meng Fuyuan struggled for a while, the door was suddenly pushed open——

It's Huo Yi!

I saw that the other party was dressed in black and had black hair all disappeared into the night. His figure was still tall and straight, without any injuries or diseases. Suddenly, Meng Fuyuan felt that the biting night wind around him had dissipated a lot, and Meng Fuyuan couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At least Huo Yi didn't encounter any accidents, but soon, his chest was blocked by another unknown anger. The feeling of comfort just now was like an illusion for a short time. Meng Fuyuan didn't bother to study carefully, he raised his head and asked coldly, "Where have you been?"

Meng Fuyuan seldom questioned others directly. He always adhered to the principle that if the other party is unwilling to speak directly, it is useless to ask directly. Only when he was in an extremely bad mood would he ask straight to the point, because Meng Fuyuan lost his tact at that time. The patience to deal with it.

"The owner..." The other party murmured in response.

Huo Yi's late return for no reason doesn't seem to be a big deal. After all, the Shadow Guard had his permission to go out today. Normally, Meng Fuyuan wouldn't even have the idea of ​​looking for someone, but tonight is special because going out is special. A traitor is a potential danger, a thorn in Meng Fuyuan's heart, coupled with the missing Lu Jiu, these two almost exhausted all of Meng Fuyuan's good mood today.

The nature of venting anger finally broke through the shackles of reason, and it was revealed without a doubt. Meng Fuyuan was not immune to the vulgarity. Huo Yi came home late for no reason, which really made him feel suffocated. In addition, the two had quarreled not long ago, and then they let it go. Confused, Meng Fuyuan only felt that he was switching between calm and angry emotions repeatedly, almost on the verge of losing control.

"I... I went to buy some sesame and chestnut cakes..." Huo Yi probably sensed the other party's inexplicable attitude and emotion hidden between the words, and he was a little at a loss. He bent his elbows and stretched forward, as if he wanted the other party to notice.

The burden is still hot. It is really rare to have such a temperature in the cold winter. Maybe it is because the store is close, or maybe the buyer came back in a hurry. The flowing breath is full of warmth and sweetness.

"It's late." Meng Fuyuan was unmoved, he lowered his eyes, his eyes fell on that hand, and said indifferently.

"There were a lot of people at night, so I queued for a long time." Huo Yi stammered a little, and didn't make sense of the words, "I, I think the owner likes it, so I will buy it and apologize to the owner."

Meng Fuyuan raised his eyes, his gaze fell lightly back to the other person's face, he asked suspiciously: "What are you apologizing for? Did you do something wrong?" Huo opened his lips, and turned dumb again for a while.

Again, as expected.

Meng Fuyuan snorted lightly. He slowed down and bit every word clearly, "You didn't do anything wrong, and you don't need to apologize." His tone was calm, as if he didn't care, but upon listening carefully, he seemed It is a harbinger of storms and rage.

It is rare to run into many unfavorable things in a row. This time, Meng Fuyuan is really unwilling to take care of the feelings of the people in front of him. He only knows that if he is soft-hearted this time, and if he accommodates the piece of wood in front of him, he will die in five years. Huo Yi was furious, Meng Fuyuan gritted his teeth in his heart, if Huo Yi played sloppy with him every day, then he would make a bad face at him every day, isn't it just to see who can survive?Who is afraid of whom?

Because he was often wandering in the intrigues of the rivers and lakes, and was about to be wiped out, the youthful spirit and desire to win and lose in his bones reappeared inappropriately. Meng Fuyuan stroked Huo Yi's arm, so that he was out of sight and out of mind. , "I don't want it, you go to someone else."

Huo Yi's expression darkened, and he asked blankly: "I...to whom?"

"Give love to whoever, just don't give it to me."

"I thought... I thought the owner would like it."

It sounds like you are aggrieved?

Meng Fuyuan's face became more and more ugly, and he slammed his head and face at the opponent with a long sentence like this, "You don't need to buy me anything, anyway, you are too lazy to get close to me, you should hide away, and you don't have to Pretend to please me, save superficial effort, you are relaxed, and I will save a lot of things, saving me from having to sneak in to guess your unpredictable thoughts, try to figure out your attitude of being near and far away, I am real Tired, Yan Yuanbai!"

Meng Fuyuan paused, took a deep breath, and said in a tired voice, "I'm really tired these days, don't bother me, if you don't want to, I won't force it, so let's get together and get out."

This is probably the most important thing Meng Fuyuan has said to Huo Yi since he became the owner of the villa.

If you don't regret it after asking, Meng Fuyuan doesn't know it himself, but it doesn't seem to matter, at least at the moment, Meng Fuyuan thinks so, a bunch of difficult things are overwhelming him, and he still takes care of Huo Yi's mood at this time, then he Meng Fuyuan is really a saint reincarnated.

Laughing at himself, Meng Fuyuan turned around and was about to leave when someone grabbed his wrist—

"Tolerant!"

Meng Fuyuan's footsteps froze.

These two short words seemed to be struggling for a long time with the teeth in the throat, and finally broke through many obstacles, and was able to reappear in the sky. Huo Yi said in a deep voice: "I..."

Meng Fuyuan turned his head and looked into Huo Yi's eyes.

Huo Yi's lips moved, and a struggling look repeatedly appeared in his deep eyes, and finally disappeared. He seemed to have finally made up his mind this time, and Huo Yi called out the other party's name in a hoarse voice, "Meng Yourong, I -"

"Boom-"

The next moment, the door was kicked open.

Meng Fuyuan followed the movement with his gaze, and saw four people standing outside the gate, Lu Shi kicking the door was at the front, Fu Ba and Yang Qi behind him held Lu Jiu's arm, Lu Jiu's face was blushing, drinking He was so drunk that he didn't know what was muttering in his mouth.

Lu Shi said loudly: "Villa Master, we brought Brother Nine back!"

This sound did not wake up the drunk Lu Jiu, but it was like a reminder, so Huo Yiru hurriedly withdrew the hand that was holding Meng Fuyuan's wrist as if he had touched a hot potato.

Lu Jiu shook his head, still muttering, "I...I...today...I want to forget everything...I want to forget...he...forgot that...vomit..."

Suddenly, Lu Jiu bent down and vomited on the ground.

Seeing this, the servant on the side immediately stepped forward to clean it.

Meng Fuyuan's eyebrows were suddenly frowned. He waited quietly for the servant to finish cleaning, then slowly walked forward, lifted the other's chin, and made Lu Jiu's eyes meet his examining gaze, "Lu Tingjiu, you know that you What are you talking about?"

The hearts of the other three people jumped when they heard the words, the owner even mentioned his real name, it seemed that he was really angry.

Fu Ba and Lu Shi began to pray at the same time, hoping that even if Lu Jiu was not awake at this time, they would stop talking about earth-shattering nonsense. The two held their breaths in agreement, and waited for Lu Jiu's next words with trepidation—

"Yang... He... Xue... Lao Tzu... the most loud... once... because you... drunk... ahem... wine!" Who would have thought that Lu Jiu would "get worse", becoming more and more slurred, While talking and dancing, the two people around him were almost overwhelmed, so they had to move in accordance with his movements, lest Lu Jiu fall directly from the shoulders of the two of them in an instant.

The moment the voice just finished speaking, everything was silent and a needle could be heard, Lu Shi's heart froze for a moment, and after a while he dared to take a sneak peek at Meng Fuyuan. With just one glance, Lu Shi felt that the night was pitch black, and the face of the owner of the village was very dark. It's also dark.

I don't understand anything else, but the word "Lao Tzu" is still understandable. In this situation, isn't it praising Mr. Li's outstanding contribution to Taoism?

Lu Shi looked at Fu Ba, who also had a face full of tears.

Meng Fuyuan withdrew his hand and said in a deep voice, "Let the people in the back kitchen make some hangover soup and feed it to him. When he knows who he is, let him come to see me immediately."

Yang Qi, Fu Ba and Lu Shi said in unison, "Yes, my subordinates obey."

At noon the next day, Lu Jiu woke up with a dizzy head.

Fu Ba and Lu Shi on the side finally guarded Lu Jiu until Lu Jiu woke up. The rock hanging high in his heart was finally able to fall, but before it touched the ground, they were forced to hang it up again, because they realized that Lu Jiu still had a "tough battle" If you want to fight, that is the face-to-face censure of the owner.

Before Lu Jiu could ask, Fu Ba and Lu Jiu had already volunteered, and you and I would explain what happened last night.

Every time the two of them said something, Lu Jiu's face became ugly.

After pretending to be calm and listening to Fu Ba and Lu Shi's narration, together with his fragmentary memory, Lu Jiu finally sorted out the cause and effect.

Fu Bay looked pained, "Xiao Jiu, there is one thing I don't know if I should say it or not!"

Lu Jiu: "..."

Lu Jiu was impatient, "Say it!"

The expression of regret on Fu Ba's face became more intense, "Xiao Jiu, because of you, the trip to Qiongguang Valley from Wuwei Villa was delayed by one day. And this time, the owner of the villa ordered a ban, and the shadow guards are not allowed to go out without orders."

Lu Shi stood beside him, sighed, shook his head, and patted the shoulder of Lu Jiu who was sitting on the couch in a daze, "I wish you peace!"

A moment later, Lu Jiu hurriedly put on his clothes, threw off the quilt, and was swept away without a trace.

Fu Ba and Lu Shi looked at the direction where Lu Jiu disappeared and shook their heads together.

The floor of the study was very cold, and Lu Jiu knelt down on one knee.

"Are you sober?" Meng Fuyuan sat on the official hat chair in the middle directly above, calmly as if asking about a common matter.

"Wake up! Wake up thoroughly! I can't wake up anymore!" Lu Jiu forced a smile. After finishing speaking, he secretly glanced at the expression of Meng Fuyuan who was sitting above him. Being amused by herself, Lu Jiu also knew that this time she made a big mistake and couldn't escape.

"Is it true that I treat you so well on weekdays that you have no rules?" Meng Fuyuan sighed suddenly.

With this sigh, Lu Jiu's heart jumped again, and he simply knelt down on both legs, "It's because the subordinates don't know what to do, so they let the owner dispose of them."

Meng Fuyuan suddenly said in a deep voice: "Shut up the smirk on your face, I don't want to see your playful smile at a time like this."

Lu Jiu immediately restrained the smile on his face. He instantly felt that the muscles on his face stiffened together, as if he was out of control. Lu Jiu bowed down, his forehead was only a fist away from the ground, maintaining this posture, he solemnly Said: "The subordinates are at the discretion of the owner."

"Disposal is inevitable, you don't have to worry." Meng Fuyuan tapped the wooden handle with his fingertips, "But before that, I have a few questions, I want to ask you—" Meng Fuyuan didn't wait for Lu Jiu to answer. No, the topic changed, "Where did you go last night?"

Lu Jiu was hesitant for a while, as if thinking of an excuse that could be said.

"Lu Jiu, you have to understand, I'm not discussing with you." Meng Fuyuan reminded, his tone was flat, not as if he was urging, but he was not angry, "You have no room to evade and not answer."

Lu Jiu gritted his teeth, "Nan, Nanfeng Pavilion." After saying that, Lu Jiu felt his face burn, and now he didn't even dare to lift his head.

Meng Fuyuan still looked normal, he asked again: "Why are you going?"

"I..." Lu Jiu hesitated and said, "I just want to taste the taste of love..."

"Oh, really?" Meng Fuyuan continued to ask, "Have you tasted it?"

Lu Jiu shook his head, "No."

Meng Fuyuan pressed on step by step, "Then why are you so drunk again?"

Lu Jiu bit the bullet and answered, "Drinking...can strengthen your courage...can cheer you up..."

"Oh, so." Meng Fuyuan nodded.

Under his nose, Lu Jiu's figure instantly relaxed. Meng Fuyuan caught this subtle change as expected. He suddenly stood up, went down the steps, and walked to Lu Jiu's side. His shadow happened to be cast on the part where the other party was kneeling. At the same place, Meng Fuyuan bowed his head and said coldly: "To have fun, do you want to drink like that? Look at your appearance last night, the amount of alcohol you have drunk, at least there is a whole pot, that is far more than the amount of alcohol that can be used for fun. Don't you Said, using a jug of wine to entertain you was taught by the people in the Nanfeng Pavilion, if you dare to say it, I dare to send someone to the Nanfeng Pavilion to ask right now."

Meng Fuyuan squatted down slowly, "Raise your head and look at me."

Lu Jiu could only do as he was told.

The moment their eyes collided, Meng Fuyuan said coldly, "Lu Jiu, you are lying."
