The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

3. Suspicion in Linjiang Town ([-])

Xu Qingfeng didn't know why he suddenly cried so hard that no one could stop him, but Chen Ke knew Xu Qingfeng himself better than Xu Qingfeng at this time.

Before being reborn, Chen Ke saw a naive little fool accompanying him every day without any worries. After rebirth, he saw the terrifying scars on Xu Qingfeng's arm and was shocked to realize that he had experienced life and death.

But Xu Qingfeng lost his mind, sometimes he was in a daze, and sometimes he slurred his words. No matter what, Xu Qingfeng was well-behaved, neither crying nor making trouble.It might be a good thing to have a good cry now.

Eunuch Quan didn't make a sound when he saw Chen Ke, how many eyes were still watching in the lobby, he was anxious, and kept persuading softly: "Mr. Xu, let's stop crying, stop crying..."

Eunuch Quan just said this back and forth, but it had no effect, Xu Qingfeng was still crying, Chen Ke had no choice but to pull Xu Qingfeng upstairs.

After a while, Xu Qingfeng's crying gradually subsided. He dragged Xu Qingfeng back to the room, closed the door, and blocked the people and voices outside, as if forming a small world of its own. Mottled tears could be seen on Xu Qingfeng's face.

Chen Ke didn't speak, and waited for Xu Qingfeng to finish crying by himself.Xu Qingfeng was twitching, with tears in his eyes, trying not to cry out, looking left and right for a while, but not looking at Chen Ke.

"Are you done crying?"

Xu Qingfeng raised his hand to wipe his face, but was stopped by Chen Ke.Wiping Xu Qingfeng's tears with his hands, Chen Ke pretended to be disgusted and said: "It's so dirty..."

Hearing that Xu Qingfeng was stunned for a moment, his nose fluttered, and he was about to cry again. Chen Ke couldn't bear to see his pitiful look, so he quickly took him into his arms, patted Xu Qingfeng's back comfortingly, and couldn't help saying: " Come on, don't cry, don't cry..."

Slowly, Xu Qingfeng calmed down, feeling that the crying stopped, Chen Ke wanted to let go of Xu Qingfeng and not be hugged tightly by Xu Qingfeng.

"Xu San?" Chen Ke called him in a low voice.

Xu Qingfeng buried his face firmly in Chen Ke's chest and remained silent.

"Let go." Chen Ke grabbed Xu Qingfeng's collar and pulled it back. Xu Qingfeng let go of his hand hesitantly, and then Chen Ke saw Xu Qingfeng's red ears.

"Shy?" Chen Ke laughed, "How old are you still crying, why are you crying?"

Xu Qingfeng felt very embarrassed, and wanted to hide his face in Chen Ke's arms. Chen Ke stepped back a little to prevent him from succeeding, and asked again: "Why are you crying?"

"You are fierce to me." Xu Qingfeng murmured softly.

"what?"

"It's so fierce, scary..." Xu Qingfeng raised his head, looked directly at Chen Ke, and complained seriously.

Never expecting that Xu Qingfeng would say such a reason, Chen Ke was also a little at a loss, and after a while, he patted Xu Qingfeng on the shoulder and said, "From now on, don't run around... Do you understand?"

Xu Qingfeng nodded seriously and replied: "Understood..."

The two briefly said a few more words, and Chen Ke called Grandpa Quan to come in and take Xu Qingfeng to wash up.

Seeing that Xu Qingfeng was willing to obediently follow Eunuch Quan this time, Chen Ke couldn't help heaving a sigh of relief, and quickly took off the dirty clothes on his body, and Eunuch Quan came in with clean clothes after a while.

Seeing that although Chen Ke's expression was not gentle, it was definitely not as cold as ice. Eunuch Quan shuddered in his heart, bowed his head deeply, and respectfully presented his clothes, and waited for Chen Ke to change.

"Mr. Xu stopped crying." Eunuch Quan suddenly started the conversation.

"Yeah." Chen Ke was also very relaxed. It was rare for a man of few words to answer Grandpa Quan's words, and even made a joke: "It's like coaxing a child."

"It's true, Mr. Xu's mind has degenerated like a child's, and he relies on you wholeheartedly. Since Mr. Xu came, you have become gentle."

This is really not like what the Quangong Guild said on weekdays. Chen Ke frowned, and before he could speak, he heard Quan Gonggong continue: "It's just that although Mr. Xu has a child's mind, he is a man after all. Please be cautious in your words and deeds." ..."

"Quan Xin Dong!"

Quan Gonggong knelt down forcefully: "Slave oversteps! You are a slave's blessing to be able to follow the prince. It's just that the first emperor ordered the slave to serve you, serve the princess, and serve the son. The emperor is above, and the slave dare not disobey. I only hope that the prince will serve you." On the right track..."

"Why didn't I go on the right path?!" Chen Ke was impatient. He never thought that the whole eunuch would say such a thing suddenly, but the whole eunuch had already put it all together, so naturally he dared to say it.

But no matter how mentally prepared he was, Chen Kequan trembled in the face of the extremely angry father-in-law. He clenched his fists hidden under his robe tightly. The father-in-law took a deep breath and said:

"If Mr. Xu has a normal mind, such a handsome young man must be a dragon among men. How many girls admire him..."

"Heh..." Chen Ke sneered: "I asked you what is the right way, why don't you be more direct?"

"My lord..." Eunuch Quan straightened up when he heard the words, with tears in his eyes, he looked at Chen Ke and said seriously and clearly: "The man will be crowned at twenty, and then the Qi family will rule the country and the world. heir..."

"Crack!" Chen Ke picked up the cup on the table and smashed it out. With the crisp and terrifying sound of cracking, the fragments of the cup splashed everywhere, and Eunuch Quan leaned down again: "Your Majesty, although Mr. Xu is good, but in the end, he is so good." Not the right way..."

"Finished?"

"Yes." Eunuch Quan didn't dare to say any more, he pressed his forehead deeply to the ground, lowered his posture like an ant, and waited for Chen Ke's fury.

Chen Ke looked down at Eunuch Quan, full of anger and words were about to burst out, but Chen Ke was powerless to refute, at least he had a little meaning for Xu Qingfeng, maybe more than a little.

Otherwise, she wouldn't feel sorry for his injury, worry about his grievances, and worry about his safety, even though Xu Qingfeng didn't understand anything.

Eunuch Quan is not wrong, Xu Qingfeng is just a "child" now, and he trusts him wholeheartedly.

But he had other thoughts, and even others could see it, but Chen Ke still wanted to deceive himself, as if as long as he didn't admit it, he could pretend it didn't exist.

"Your Majesty, go and receive the punishment yourself, and Zuo Ming will be punished together."

"Yes." Knowing that Chen Ke had listened, Eunuch Quan took a slow breath and kowtowed three times on the ground, "Thank you, my lord..."

Eunuch Quan retreated silently, but Chen Ke suddenly had a thorn in his heart. He didn't think Xu Qingfeng had no intentions of him.

At the beginning, Xu Qingfeng approached Chen Ke first, and Chen Ke suddenly wanted to know, if Xu Qingfeng was sober, would he choose the so-called "right way"?

Later, Xu Qingfeng came and knocked on the door. After washing again, Xu Qingfeng became clean. He wanted to show Chen Ke how clean and tidy he was now, and then Chen Ke's brows would be stretched, and his lips would be bent and shallow. With a smile, you will nod your head in approval, and you will attract him to take a closer look.

But Chen Ke didn't say "come in", nor did he come to open the door, only Eunuch Quan approached gently, and respectfully led Xu Qingfeng back: "The prince is resting, please rest as soon as possible, Mr. Xu."

Sensitively feeling the slight change in Grandpa Quan's tone, Xu Qingfeng silently followed Grandpa Quan back to his room and lay down on the bed quietly.

After closing the windows for Xu Qingfeng, the candles were extinguished, and Eunuch Quan retreated out.Hearing the sound of the door closing, Xu Qingfeng opened his eyes.

The room was quiet, the dog at the back of the inn also rested, the closed doors and windows shielded everything from the outside world, Xu Qingfeng heard his own weak breathing, shrank himself to the innermost part of the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and curled up in the quilt .

After waking up, it was the first time for Xu Qingfeng to be alone in such a safe and worry-free environment, but he didn't feel sleepy tonight.

I don't know if Chen Ke is asleep or not.Suddenly, Xu Qingfeng thought of Chen Ke, and the embrace in the fire and a figure in the fog appeared in his mind again, and then many pictures kept turning in his mind, the pictures were complicated and unconnected, Xu Qingfeng It's like being wrapped in a mess, and I can't find a thread of relief.He poked his head out of the quilt irritably, turned around and faced a black figure.

Xu Qingfeng was taken aback, and moved his gaze upwards to meet a pair of big, cunning and agile eyes.The visitor covered his face, revealing only a pair of thick eyebrows and eyes.

Seeing Xu Qingfeng's clear gaze, the masked man was slightly surprised, then raised his eyebrows, and greeted familiarly: "Yo, young master."

It turned out to be the "smile" of the flower-picking thief I met a few hours ago.

Xu Qingfeng stood up and sat up, smelling a faint fragrance floating in the air.

"Hush." ​​He signaled Xu Qingfeng to keep silent, approached Xu Qingfeng with a smile, pulled off the mask that covered his face, revealing a heroic face. "Did you see my friend?"

"Ok?"

Seeing Xu Qingfeng's misty eyes, it didn't matter if he laughed, "Forget it, he can run out by himself. I'm here to look for you." A narrow smile.

The fragrance in the room is a rich scent of flowers and trees, with some medicinal smell. At first, I didn't notice it, but gradually, my mind became heavy and muddled. Xu Qingfeng only felt that his eyelids were heavy, and he slowly closed his eyes irresistibly.

"Tch." With a light laugh, Xu Qingfeng pushed Xu Qingfeng onto his back, crushed the smoke on the ground, turned out of the house, and walked quietly along the way he came.

"This official, please untie me. I am an upright gentleman." Su Libai said in his heart that he had nothing to do. Guan Hongfeng detained him in a small room on the first floor of the inn and left him. He didn't even give him a chance, and there were only two guards in the room, but they stood up straight and looked straight ahead, no matter how much he howled, they simply ignored him.

Turning his head to the other guard on the right, "How about this official, help me to call your boss over. I will recruit him to ask anything, and if he says it, he will know that he has misunderstood."

But the guard on the right remained indifferent. "Deaf..." Su Libai muttered in a low voice, while sneaking a look at the two guards, but they still turned a deaf ear.

Su Libai sighed, and cursed from head to toe with a laugh in his heart.If it wasn't that his reaction was slower than a laugh, if it wasn't that he was too soft-hearted, or his force was stronger than a laugh... Well, forget it, it's too late to say anything.

It was late at night, and Su Libai's eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. After yawning, he stopped howling to appeal or justify, and fell asleep leaning against the wall in a non-stop manner.

At some point, there was a sudden commotion outside, footsteps and voices continued, Su Libai woke up, his eyes were sleepy and he didn't understand what was going on.

Immediately after contacting the murder case in the town, the whole person was refreshed. At this time, a guard outside came to change shifts. Su Libai pricked up his ears and heard the guard say "Mr. Xu is missing."

Subconsciously, Su Libai thought of a laugh.
