The mountains and rivers are quiet and broad

... a guard?

Xu Qingfeng raised his head blankly, there were only four people in the room, and the guard probably meant him.

Xu Qingfeng looked down at the clothes on his body, because he didn't like those fancy clothes, and because he would practice martial arts with Tianwen in the past few days, Xu Qingfeng also wore a moon-white outfit when he went out today, and his hair was neatly tied up. The feet are nothing more than a pair of gray forged small court boots.

And Chen Ke is still wearing the black color he is used to, which is low-key and luxurious; Zhao Kexin is dressed in ordinary clothes, which is not worth seeing;

As for Xiaobie's irresistible charm, it really seemed that Xu Qingfeng was dressed most plainly.

But it would be too much to say that he is a bodyguard, Xu Qingfeng was embarrassed, obviously eating at the same table all the time.

Xu Qingfeng clasped his fists like a knight in the rivers and lakes and said: "I, Xu Wangshu, came from the south of the Yangtze River and temporarily lived under the prince's guest. I don't know the third son of the Xu family that Mr. Xiaobie mentioned."

Xiaobie raised his eyebrows and looked at Xu Qingfeng with a half-smile.

Xu Qingfeng was depressed, and Chen Ke was unhappy, feeling inexplicably that the things he loved were belittled.

"I have never seen the third son of the Xu family before, do you really look like Wang Shu?"

Zhao Kexin said at the right time: "My lord must have never seen a portrait before, it is indeed very similar. When I first saw Mr. Xu, the lower officials also misunderstood, so I was aggressive at the time..." Zhao Kexin said, throwing at Xu Qingfeng With apologetic eyes, Xu Qingfeng smiled and nodded to express his understanding.

"Oh? It made me a little curious."

"Why don't you take a look?" Xiaobie smiled, as if he had already prepared, and called someone to take a portrait.

It is indeed the same as the portrait that Xu Qingfeng saw in the Four Cottage Hall earlier.

It was the first time Chen Ke saw it, and it was different from the one in Doctor Huang's hands. It was probably because the girl Abi copied the painting again, which made it a little distorted.

But the portrait in Xiaobie's hand is lifelike, not at all like a simple painting made for the purpose of finding someone, but as detailed as if a lot of painstaking effort and affection have been poured into it.

Chen Ke looked at it carefully, and deliberately raised the portrait to compare with Xu Qingfeng's face.

Not knowing what Chen Ke was going to do, Xu Qingfeng just sat quietly and let him compare.

"This palace doesn't look like it." Chen Ke put down the portrait, and said jokingly: "Wang Shu has a small mole on his neck, but Mr. Xu doesn't have it."

The others were taken aback when they heard the words, and Xu Qingfeng blushed immediately. Zhao Kexin wanted to refute, but moles and birthmarks were the signs of knowing a person. Subconsciously, Zhao Kexin looked at Xu Qingfeng's neck.

— saw nothing.Xu Qingfeng had no choice but to point to the place where his neckline was slightly lowered in embarrassment.

With a "cough", Zhao Kexin looked away and understood.

"Wang Shu and Ben Gong have known each other for many years, and they have lived in King Ren's Mansion for two years." Chen Ke said.

King Ren has lived in Taiheng Palace since he was an adult, and after he was crowned king, he gave Renwang Mansion in Beijing. However, in order to assist Emperor Xuanwu in handling heavy government affairs, King Ren stayed in Taiheng Palace most of the time. It is difficult or not difficult for others to verify the statement of "living in Prince Ren's Mansion for two years".

Xiaobie already had the answer in his mind, so he just smiled calmly, and said very naturally: "My lord, Xiaobie doesn't think it looks like it. I misunderstood Mr. Xu, Xiaobie used tea instead of wine, why don't you accompany me."

Xu Qingfeng hurriedly said he didn't dare, picked up his teacup, and said goodbye to Xiao.

A period of meal can be called "Enjoy the guests and the host". Xiaobie just picked up the teacup, respected everyone with a cup of tea, and ended the luncheon with one gulp.

Seeing Xiaobie bring out the very poetic flavor of six points of freedom and four points of pride, Chen Ke can't help but affirm that if this person is a woman, she must be a beauty.

"Recently there have been many turmoil in the city of Chuzhou. If it is useful for the prince to find another place, he can send someone to the Qinfeng Hall to find it."

Zhao Kexin almost spit out the tea, and could not help but lower her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at King Ren or Xu Qingfeng.

I thought to myself: Farewell tonight!I'm afraid it's going to hurt me!

Chen Ke was indifferent, nodded slightly, Xu Qingfeng touched his nose, and did not speak.

What is the Qinfeng Pavilion, the Xiaowanguan Pavilion.It's not that people look down on Xing Longyang, after all, the relationship between Xu Qingfeng and King Ren is like that, but Xu Qingfeng still dare not say it frankly like Xiaobie.

On the way back, when Chen Ke asked about the Stone of Life and Death, Xu Qingfeng shook his head.

"This is a birthday gift my father gave me a few years ago. He said that he specially asked someone to consecrate it to ward off evil spirits. I must wear it all the time."

"Then is this the stone of life and death?"

"It should be just an ordinary stone." Xu Qingfeng untied the stone on his chest, held it in his hand and looked at it, and didn't think there was anything worthy of the Demon Cult's obsession with this stone.

"The beggar that Xiaobie talked about, but you?" Chen Ke remembered what Xiaobie said about the beggar again.

"It should be." Xu Qingfeng himself was not too sure, "I was just sober at the time, my mind was degraded, my body was bruised and tattered, I ate everything I picked up, and I looked like a beggar." Xu Qingfeng said very dissatisfied. Excuse me.

Thinking of Xu Qingfeng's appearance when he just found him, Chen Ke's eyes darkened.

After returning to the courtyard, Xu Qingfeng did not follow Chen Ke back to the Lingering Garden, but planned to go to Biejuju to find Tianwen.

Chen Ke grabbed Xu Qingfeng: "What are you going to do?"

"Go to heaven and ask there."

Tianwen stayed in the academy because of the instructions of the precept master. In the past few days, he followed Guan Hongfeng to deal with the funeral affairs of everyone in Wushan. Xu Qingfeng will teach him poetry and books.

"Didn't you agree that Zuo Ming would take you there this afternoon?" Because Xu Qingfeng went out to play today, Zuo Ming also went to supervise Tianwen's martial arts practice in the afternoon, and Chen Ke knew this.

"Just go and have a look." Xu Qingfeng knew that there might be a lot of business waiting for Chen Ke in the hospital. Although Chen Ke never avoided him, he didn't know what to think in the eyes of other people.

As if knowing Xu Qingfeng's thoughts, Chen Ke let go of his hand, feeling a little helpless: "Go. Later, I will ask Ben Gong to draw a portrait of you."

"Huh?" Xu Qingfeng's eyes widened.

"Bring it on your body, even if you run around, I can always see you." Chen Ke said jokingly, thinking that Xu Qingfeng was cute like this.

Xu Qingfeng really wanted to cover Chen Ke's mouth with his hand, but he didn't dare to move. He looked around as if no one heard him.

His face was red, and he didn't dare to respond to Chen Ke's teasing, so he left quickly after saying "I didn't run around".

Looking at Xu Qingfeng's hurried back, Chen Ke transferred to the hospital in a good mood.

When Xu Qingfeng walked into Biejuju, Zuo Ming hadn't left yet, and was looking at Tianwen Zha Mabu.

"Master Xu." Zuo Ming saluted respectfully.

"Xu Qingfeng, why are you here?" Tian Wen still called Xu Qingfeng by his name, but Xu Qingfeng didn't care.

"Are you going to class?" Tian Wen asked, Xu Qingfeng shook his head, walked to the side and sat down.

Tian Wen straddled his horse steadily, with his hands raised horizontally, Zuo Ming put three bowls on each arm on each side, filled with water, and there were more than a dozen bowls like this on the table beside him.The water bowl rested firmly on Tianwen's arm, as if it were on the ground.

After Xu Qingfeng picked a place to sit down, he became dazed by himself.

Not long after, Zuo Ming was called away, Xu Qingfeng was still sitting in a daze, Tianwen wiped off his sweat, took a bowl of water and sat next to Xu Qingfeng, staring at him curiously.

Xu Qingfeng looked at him puzzled, "What? Is there something on my face?"

Tian Wen shook his head, "Why are you unhappy?"

"Am I unhappy?"

"Heh." Tian Wen patted his head, "If you are not happy, you should come and ask me."

Xu Qingfeng shook his head and said, "I'm not unhappy either. It's just..."

"what?"

Xu Qingfeng lay back on the grass, covering his face with his hands to block the sunlight, "It's a bit annoying..."

"What's bothering you?" Tian Wen drank the water in the bowl in one gulp, threw the bowl aside, lay beside Xu Qingfeng, and asked him: "Did you quarrel with the prince?"

"What are you talking about?" Xu Qingfeng couldn't help blushing a little. Tianwen was only ten years old and a monk. He always felt that discussing these things with Tianwen was blasphemy to the Buddha.

"I know, the prince is not your brother, the prince is very kind to you, and you are also very kind to the prince..."

"What do you know?"

"Master said, it's affection, affection, yes, yes..." Tian Wen thought for a while, "It's companionship. That's how you and the prince are, right?"

Xu Qingfeng patted Tianwen on the head: "You are a big kid."

"Cut. I understand." Tian Wen curled his lips, and suddenly said, "Xu Qingfeng, do you have a rock?"

"Huh?" Xu Qingfeng was immersed in his own thoughts and didn't realize it, "What stone?"

"It's the one on your neck. Show me."

Why do you keep mentioning this today?

Xu Qingfeng untied Xiao Baishi and handed it to Tianwen.

Tian Wen had seen this pendant slipping out of Xu Qingfeng's collar by accident before, and immediately paid attention to it, this was the first time he saw it up close.

It is said to be a small white stone, but it is also a jade pendant.The jade pendant is not big, it is worn on a red string, like an ordinary amulet, the jade surface is very smooth, the color is milky white, it feels slightly cool in the hand, and there is a circle of very small strange characters on it.

Tian Wen stared at the pattern over and over again, frowning tightly.

"how?"

"I've seen this pattern before." Tian asked.

On the day of the precepts burial, Tianwen went to the pine garden alone, climbed the long mountain road, and arrived at the thatched hut of the abbot.

The shed was still empty, and Tianwen still didn't understand what Senior Brother Tianqi wanted him to find.

Recalling Tianqi's words carefully, Tianwen walked to the monument with "Vientiane" written on it, and searched for clues inch by inch, but found nothing.

When going down the mountain, Tianwen paid careful attention to everything in Wushan Temple, not letting go of every corner, the more he investigated, the more strange Wushan Temple felt.

"Do you remember the Lingling Monument in front of Wushan Temple?" Tian Wen gestured, "I don't know what the pattern on the monument may be, but it's very similar to the one on it."

"Spiritual Stele?" Xu Qingfeng couldn't figure it out. Could it be that this small stone really has a big secret?The Demon Cult has been looking for this stone? "Do you know what this is?"

Tianwen shook his head, "I just saw your pendant by chance."

"I met someone when I went out today and said it was the Stone of Life and Death." Xu Qingfeng took the pendant back and casually mentioned it.

"The stone of life and death?" Tian Wen showed a surprised expression, and stretched out his hand to pull out the pendant that Xu Qingfeng had just put in for inspection: "No, this is not the stone of life and death."
