C31 Enemy Friend
Dongfang Zhongyue had already put on his clothes and came to the garden. Before he had taken a few steps, a black shadow came over, "Who is it?"
Dongfang Zhongyue heard the familiar voice and asked, "Is it Butler Bi?" Yo … It's the old master! " Bi Sihai finally recognized him when he walked closer and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Dongfang Zhongyu casually replied, "Drinking wine makes me unable to sleep, so I came out to take a walk. "Why isn't Butler Bi asleep yet?" The Old Master has entrusted me with a heavy responsibility. Bi Sihai answered, "I'll take a look at the front and back garden. Don't let the fire break out and steal."
"Butler Bi, you've done your best. I'll take a look around." Zhong Yue from the East strolled towards the front garden, taking a look at his surroundings. There was no one around him who was capable of performing Qing Gong. With a few ups and downs, he headed out of the garden.
This place was not close to the east side of the city, but his qinggong was quite outstanding. It only took him half an hour to reach there. After his previous experience, Zhong Yue was not in a hurry. Seeing that the lights were still on, he walked to the door to check if there were any movements in the building before quietly going to the west side.
Only one window on the second floor was lit. Both the first and third floors were dark. Dongfang Zhongyu happened to notice that a window in the middle of the third floor was ajar. Green Bamboo Garden was located on the west side of the third floor! Would there be anyone else living with Han Yancui if she wasn't here?
Dongfang Zhongyue saw that there were no pedestrians on the street, so he quickly climbed up to the top of the second floor's eaves. When he arrived in front of the half-open window and heard no sound from inside, he lightly jumped in. After a while, his eyes adjusted to the darkness.
This was the Ming Tang in the middle. Other than the dark furniture and flowers, there was nothing else in the room. There was a faint fragrance in the room. It was not the fragrance of flowers, but … The scent of burning sandalwood! Dongfang Zhongyu's spirit was lifted. Since someone was burning incense, it meant that there was someone in the room.
The outer room of the Guest Clan could not be lived in, and the Dongfang Zhongyue raised his leg and lightly walked towards the inner room. The doors in the inner room were all closed. Reaching out his hand, he tried pushing the door. The left door creaked as it opened a crack.
"Who is it?" Someone in the room asked if it was Han Yancui because her voice was too short. "Is it Lady Han?" It's me... Who are you? " Han Yancui's voice was full of doubt and fear.
"Lady Han, don't be afraid. I'm the Dongfang Zhongyue." "Dongfang Zhongyue walked in and closed the door behind him." "Young Master Dongfang?" Han Yancui asked in surprise, "Why are you..." At this time … Did you sneak in? "
"Dongfang Zhongyu was afraid that she would scream out in fear, so he stood still and took out the fire rope to shake it so that she could see his face before immediately extinguishing it." It really is Young Master Dongfang. "Han Yancui's voice became much calmer." You … What's the matter? "
"It's something important, something very important." Dongfang Zhongyu took a chair and placed it three steps away from the bed. He sat down and said, "Lady Han, your surname is Qi, right?" "I …" Han Yancui seemed to be hesitating. "Why is Young Master Dongfang asking this?"
Dongfang Zhongyu said: "I have a friend, her name is Qi Chuyan... "It's kind of similar to Lady Han's, so …" Oh... "So it's like this!" Han Yancui said hesitantly, "I think so …"
Dongfang Zhongyu was puzzled, "Why does it look like it? Don't you know your name? " "You don't know, I fell down five years ago, and when I woke up, I wouldn't remember the hour …"
"Ah?" "If something like that happened, it's no wonder you didn't know me …" Dongfang Zhongyue was relieved, and said while suppressing his excitement, "I've sent someone to the Ministry of Rites to check, and you're indeed Qi Chuyan. I've confirmed this from Bustle, the teacher of the Fu Temple."
"Oh …" Han Yancui's voice was also filled with joy, "Young Master Dongfang, we knew each other a long time ago?" That's right! Not only do we know each other, we're also … " Dongfang Zhongyue suddenly paused, "My friendship is not shallow. Six years ago, I was stranded in Nanjing, and it was you who fed me to prevent me from starving to death."
"Is that so?" Han Yancui asked, "What happened next?" Then Master Baili took me in and took me away from Nanjing. At that time, we used to play together. I was beaten quite a few times when I didn't know how to fight. "
"Hee hee …" Right, I was transferred from there to Phoenix Return to Phoenix Restaurant. " Han Yancui laughed lightly, "Then did you come back this time to seek revenge?" Dongfang Zhongyue felt a chill in her heart. It seemed that she really couldn't remember what happened in her childhood. "Ai …" "Lady Han, have you been gone for the past few days?"
"Yes. A few days ago, Cheng Guo, Zhu Neng, celebrated his birthday. His son, Zhu Heng, took me to the concert. I stayed there for two days, but I didn't expect Valley King and Zhu Hui to …" He is the famous 19th Master of the capital, who dares to provoke him! " Han Yancui's voice was filled with helplessness.
Dongfang Zhongyue remembered that Zhu Heng was with Yang Zhongkun and was probably Zhu Gaosui's man. Zhu Hui had never heard of his evil reputation, so she didn't do anything good. She didn't expect him to bully a young lady and said angrily: "Are you not afraid of this imperial family?"
"That's it! The drama often said that the law was more important than power, but in reality, it was just bullsh * t! When there is no crime, it is the law that matters more than power. If there is no crime, it is the law that matters more than power. "Right …" Han Yancui sat up straighter and said, "When I was at Valley King's mansion, the commander of the Heavenly Policy Guard, Wang Bin, and Yang Zhongkun of the Embroidered Uniform Guard specially asked me to inquire about you."
"Oh?" Dongfang Zhong was stunned for a moment. He knew that Wang Bin was Zhu Gaoxi's man and Yang Zhongkun was Zhu Gaosui's man! What was going on with the two of them together? Could it be that Zhu Gaoxi and Zhu Gaosui were working together to deal with Crown Prince Zhu Gaoyin? "What did the two of them ask me about?"
Han Yancui replied, "They asked me if I knew what you used to be like, who you really were, and what happened to the Immortal Workshop. You even asked me what kind of relationship we have... "It really confused me, I didn't think that we would actually know each other for such a long time."
Dongfang Zhong realized that they had been paying attention to him and were also suspecting him. F * ck, they all knew what he was doing. It was fortunate that he did not reveal his real identity just now. Feng Returning Tower was all Zhu Gaosui's men. If Qi Chuyan had accidentally leaked it, he would have been in trouble …
He did not say that he would help her ransom her body. Firstly, it was very difficult to do so, and secondly, her identity was a little special. He could not arouse too much suspicion from Zhu Gaosui and the others.
Dongfang Zhongyu backed out of the way and continued to jump out of the half-open window. As his feet rested on the second floor, he suddenly felt a strange sensation. Danger! And the danger was very close to him! The more they searched in the east, the less time they had to search. The tip of their feet brushed against the ground as they flew down the stairs.
Just as his feet left the tiles, three rays of cold light shot down from the roof under the starlight. Dongfang Zhongyu was looking at the path ahead of him. In that moment of crisis, he suddenly flipped over and dodged two beams of cold light. However, the other one shot towards his chest. Dongfang Zhong gave a muffled groan as he fell to the ground while clutching his chest.
A black shadow floated down from the roof, and looking at the long hair on the ground, he snorted coldly, "Smoke Rankings number seven? It was only this much. How can returning phoenixes be something that you say you can come and go as you please? " The charming voice turned out to be a woman. "Let me see if my guess is wrong." He leaned over and ruffled his hair.
Suddenly, the motionless Dongfang Zhongyu sent a kick straight to the side of her head. The woman was also very good at it. With a cry of surprise, she immediately bent her elbow to the side of her head; the kick was so powerful that she staggered back five or six steps.
Dongfang Zhongyue jumped up, and when he saw it was Ji Yaohua, he was shocked. When Ji Yaohua saw him jump up, she hastily turned her head to open her bun and covered her face with her long hair. It was fortunate that no one was around at the time, otherwise they would have been scared half to death by these two ghosts.
"The two of them stared at each other for a while. Ji Yaohua had been staring at his chest with a weird expression the whole time. She thought to herself, why is there not a single trace of blood on his body when I saw that he was hit by a hidden weapon?" No need to look anymore, it won't hurt so easily. " Dongfang Zhongyu asked faintly: "Why did you sneak attack me?"
Ji Yaohua unconsciously took a step back and said, "It was you who stole first, okay? "Bold thief, you dare to steal from Feng Gui Lou? You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
"Heh …" What do you mean? This is good too. You don't have to go out of your way and fight each other to the death. " Dongfang Zhongyue said: "I even dare to steal from the palace, let alone a little phoenix returning to the tower!"
"Bullsh * t!" Aunty, just try and see how much weight you have. " Ji Yaohua took two steps forward and formed two claws with her hands, one in front of the other. Dongfang Zhongyu also wanted to test her. He immediately raised his left hand to the right and smacked down on her ribs with his right palm.
Ji Yaohua took a step back, clawing at his wrist with her front paw and clawing at his face with her back paw. Dongfang Zhongguo nodded to himself. He withdrew his right palm, grabbed her wrist, and kicked her in the knee.
"Surprised, Ji Yaohua hastily retracted her hand and jumped to the side. The left palm of Dongfang Zhongyue struck her shoulder. Although Ji Yaohua was defeated, she didn't mess up and slipped more than twenty feet away from his attack range." "Hmph …" Phoenix return to the Tower is also mediocre. " After saying this, Dongfang Zhongyu turned around and ascended the neighboring rooftop. With a few ups and downs, he disappeared into the night.
Ji Yaohua covered her shoulders in a daze and muttered to herself, "Too amazing …" I can't even take three moves? "
On the way back to the Chou Mansion, Zhong Yu from the East had his hair combed before entering the garden. He didn't run into Butler Bi, but went straight back to his room. He lit the candle, then took something from his bosom and placed it on the table.
"This item is three and a half inches long, completely black in color, with a round hat on the back, a rod in the middle, and a triple-pointed tip at the front …" It really is a coffin nail! " Dongfang Zhong gasped, "That's strange..." Ji Yaohua was Thirteen Blood Iron Eagles's person! So did Qian Guanghou... That's right, he's the one who hid in the dark and killed the chef from the Duke of Cao's estate. "
If that was the case, Third Prince Zhu Gaosui had messed up with the traitors and Zhang Shicheng's descendants! This matter was too unbelievable. Could he become a friend just for the sake of power and enmity with Wu Tie? Dongfang Zhongzhong was tongue-tied.
It was night. The more he slept in the East, the more Qi Chuyan's condition and the matter of Feng Zhiling occupied all of his thoughts.
When he went out, he saw Qiu Qiandai practicing in the yard. It was good to have a servant, Mama Li immediately brought him breakfast. Qiu Qiandai immediately stopped practicing and ran in, "Bro, you finally woke up, I'm starving!"
"What?" "Must you wait for me to eat with you?" "Of course." "What if I slept for a day?" "Hehe, then I'll have to disturb your sleep …
Suddenly, I heard a burst of people yelling in the front yard, and I was wondering why Bi Sihai ran in so quickly, "Master, master, it's not good … "So many soldiers are coming from outside!"
