Chapter 338 Preemptive Strike

Beijing. Read 520 official website

Jingzhao Prefecture.

A constable rushed into the yamen.

"Sir, there is an urgent report!"

In the hall of the yamen, a middle-aged man in gray clothes was standing with his hands behind his back.

His eyes were sharp, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his expression was vaguely angry.

"What's the matter?"

"Sir, there is an urgent report from the suburbs west of Beijing. A group of uneasy forces have appeared in some villages and areas. Their origins are unknown. But according to our investigation... It is very likely that they are the remnants of the last rebellion..."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's eyes were obviously condensed.

Rebellious remnants?

This is a big deal!

In the Beijing area, any slight disturbance is not a small matter.

What's more, it is the remnants of the rebels who tried to rebel last time.

Although those people were quickly suppressed by the Qintiansi, they should not be underestimated.

"Send someone to investigate immediately, investigate them thoroughly, and eradicate them..."

"Yes!"

The constable left immediately.

Not long after he left, another constable entered the yamen.

"Sir, urgent news!"

"Tell me!"

"Recently, there are many unfamiliar faces of Jianghu people in the capital..."

As he spoke, the constable handed over a piece of intelligence.

After receiving the intelligence, the middle-aged man stared at the intelligence for a long time, and then frowned.

The intelligence did show that a large number of Jianghu people appeared in the capital!

It seemed like a very common thing. After all, the capital was the most prosperous city, with people coming and going, and all kinds of people gathered together.

But the appearance of so many Jianghu people at one time was still somewhat unsettling.

These Jianghu people were difficult to discipline, and the court could not control them at all. Even the Qintiansi had been targeting the Jianghu for so many years, but it could not completely suppress them.

So many people gathered outside the capital, could it be for some important purpose?

Thinking of this, the middle-aged man looked solemn.

"Send more people to keep an eye on them, and find a way to find out their purpose..."

The middle-aged man said coldly.

The constable showed some hesitation on his face: "Sir, then... should we report this to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau?"

There are many masters in the martial arts world, and most of them basically do not take the imperial court seriously. The constables in the yamen actually have no way to deal with these unruly martial arts people most of the time.

The Imperial Astronomical Bureau is different. The purpose of its existence is to deal with martial arts affairs and manage the martial arts masters.

There are many martial arts masters, and the Imperial Astronomical Bureau is even more so.

Therefore, a large number of martial arts people have been discovered in the capital, and handing this matter over to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau may be the most reasonable way.

However, after hesitating for a moment, the middle-aged man's eyes sank slightly: "It's not necessary for the time being..."

"..."

It was just dawn in the morning.

In Jingzhao Prefecture, the capital, several constables left the capital.

Just when these constables had just left the capital, several more figures soon disappeared into the crowd of the capital.

Outside the suburbs of the capital.

Several constables came to a small village.

"According to the intelligence, those unidentified people have appeared near this village!"

A leading constable glanced at the village not far away and said in a deep voice: "Go in and ask the villagers!"

"Yes!"

Then, the leading constable stepped into the village.

As soon as he walked in, the leading constable noticed something was wrong.

This village is a bit too deserted.

Although this is just a small village outside the capital, it stands to reason that the village should not be so deserted at this time, right?

Where are the villagers?

The leading constable felt something was wrong and his heart tightened slightly.

Continuing to walk into the village, he smelled a hint of blood soon.

With many years of experience in handling cases, he immediately noticed something was wrong.

This is...

He followed the smell of blood and quickly came to the door of a house.

Knocked on the door.

No response.

He gave a look, and a constable next to him immediately understood, drew the sword from his waist, and quickly came to the door of the room.

"Bang!"

The door of the room was kicked open.

Suddenly, a strong smell of blood came from the room.

Several constables stepped into the room and saw several figures lying in a pool of blood.

These figures all looked like villagers in the village.

Seeing this scene, the leading constable's eyes suddenly darkened.

They dared to kill innocent villagers? !

At this moment, a scream suddenly came from outside the room.

"Ah!"

Hearing this sound, the other constables were instantly alert.

"They haven't left yet, be alert!"

As the leading constable shouted coldly, the other constables were instantly alert. They stepped out of the room quickly and chased in the direction of the sound.

After a few steps, several black shadows blocked them.

These black shadows were wearing black robes, covering their figures and appearances, and their appearances could not be seen.

"Who are you?!"

The leading constable stepped forward and looked at them coldly: "Why don't you surrender quickly?!"

No one spoke.

But then, several more black shadows appeared and surrounded the constables present.

Seeing this scene, the leading constable's heart sank.

He had an ominous premonition that he had fallen into a trap.

Immediately afterwards, a dozen black figures suddenly appeared, all drawing swords and heading towards them.

"kill!"

The other detectives also drew their swords and fought with these men in black.

In an instant, there was the flash of swords and the shadow of swords.

"No, retreat quickly!"

The dozen or so black figures on the opposite side were very skilled and well prepared.

If you continue to struggle, you won't get any advantage at all.

They must retreat first and seek reinforcements.

However, these dozen black figures had no intention of letting them go. The tactics were endless, pressing harder and harder, leaving them breathless.

"ah……"

As screams rang out, one policeman fell down one after another.

The leader's eyes turned red!

These people are all brothers who accompany him from birth to death!

Now they fell down in front of him one by one.

He was furious and raised the sword in his hand.

kill!

However, these people came prepared, and no matter how powerful he was, it was difficult to compete.

Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people on his side, the attacks from the black shadows became more and more intensive, almost overwhelming him and making him unable to breathe.

It’s over!

Fell here today!

At the moment when everyone was in despair, a soft whistle suddenly came from not far away.

A silver sword pierced the air and instantly fell into the black shadow.

The two black figures were caught off guard, screamed, and died on the spot.

This scene stunned everyone present.

"Who?!"

The rest of the shadows were instantly extremely vigilant, all looking behind them.

Not far away, a figure gradually appeared in front of everyone.

A woman.

A woman with an outstanding temperament and cold eyes.

Her figure landed lightly on the village street, and her eyes calmly glanced at everyone.

The powerful aura of this woman made all of them feel their hearts sink.

Feeling oppressive.

There was a trace of fear in the eyes of the shadow man.

They clearly felt that this woman was extraordinary and powerful.

but……

"superior!"

With a cold shout!

Among the dozen or so shadowy people, five or six people instantly separated and moved towards her to surround her.

The woman's eyes were cold, and she did not show any panic when facing five or six people attacking at the same time.

She waved her hand gently, and the long sword that had fallen to the ground returned to her hand instantly.

Then, she brandished her sword and charged into the crowd.

The next second, a scene that made everyone's eyes glazed over was discovered!

Those five or six shadow men were easily dispatched by the woman in front of them as easily as they were chopping vegetables and melons.

Five or six people couldn't even resist the woman's two swords.

In an instant, the hearts of the shadow people who were still united immediately went into chaos!

What kind of monster is this?

Who is she? !

The remaining shadow men realized something was wrong, turned around and fled.

Scattered away!

They were obviously specially trained, and they ran away so fast that they had no time to catch up.

Not long after, their figures were no longer there.

Only the woman and the few remaining seriously injured policemen were left.

At this moment, several detectives breathed a sigh of relief after the disaster.

The leader of the police officers came to the woman, cupped his hands and said: "Thank you to the female hero for saving her today. I haven't asked her for her name yet. If she gets a chance someday, she will definitely repay the heroine for saving her life!"

If this heroine hadn't come to the rescue today, they might have perished here!

"No need!"

The woman just sheathed her sword calmly and spoke calmly.

"I just happened to meet him and helped him, it's not worth mentioning!"

After that, she turned and left.

The leading detective stood there, watching the woman's leaving figure, his eyes suddenly filled with awe.

This is the heroine of the Jianghu, who draws her sword to help when the road is rough.

Such heroes are the ones he admires!

If there are all such heroes in the world, why is there no peace in the world?

He shouted to the heroine's back: "I am Chen Jin, the policeman of Jingzhao Mansion in the capital. If anything happens to the heroine in the future, I, Chen Jin, will definitely repay the favor of saving my life today..."

However, the figure of the heroine quickly disappeared.

Chen Jin withdrew his gaze and looked at the remaining accomplices: "How are you doing?"

"Can't die!"

Although the injuries of several police officers were serious, they were not serious.

"I'll take you back to see the doctor first!"

Chen Jing spoke and glanced at the sacrificed accomplices on the ground next to him, with a bit of sadness in his eyes.

These people are all his brothers who have been through life and death, and they have been lost here for no reason.

Although he had anticipated this day for a long time, the sacrifice of those around him still made him extremely sad and angry.

"What happened today is a bit weird. When I go back and report to the Lord, I will definitely find them out and avenge my brothers!!"

"..."

On the other side, the figure of the heroine quickly left the village.

Not long after, she appeared outside the village in a small forest next to it.

Outside the grove, there were several figures waiting for a long time.

"Alliance leader!"

The heroine quickly stepped forward and cupped her hands.

"What's wrong!"

Li Suyi, with a cold and beautiful face, stood aside, looking at the village not far away, and spoke calmly.

"The village had a population of twenty-seven households, with about a hundred people, all of whom were wiped out..."

Yang Yu spoke in a deep voice.

Li Suyi's eyes suddenly turned cold.

This result was something she didn't expect.

After a long silence, Li Suyi's tone gradually turned cold: "How could they be so vicious?"

"Leader, do you want to..."

Yang Yu's face was also cold. There were about a hundred unarmed people, but those people were able to kill them... They were damned!

Not long ago, a group of inexplicable forces emerged outside the suburbs of the capital once again!

This force appeared outside the capital and harassed residents of nearby villages. To this day, many people have been killed.

Before they attracted the court's attention, they had already attracted Li Suyi's attention.

If they dare to make such a move outside the Jokhang capital, the other party's purpose must not be simple.

These people may be exploitable.

Therefore, Li Suyi sent disciples from Ruyilou to investigate the bottom line of these people.

But she didn't expect that these people would be so bottomless and without conscience!

They can even kill innocent people!

"Have you found out who is behind them?"

Li Suyi's tone was cold.

She has no good impression of Da Zhao, and she even has a blood feud with Da Zhao.

But the people are innocent.

There is nothing wrong with these common people!

Li Suyi's hands were indeed stained with a lot of blood and she was guilty of many crimes, but she never took the initiative to attack innocent people.

"Not yet, but..."

Yang Yu said in a deep voice: "These people are quite powerful and very organized. They don't look like they were formed by the private sector... At the same time, I found out that some of them have contacts with certain people in the capital. If nothing else, , I guess..."

"They may have colluded with officials in the imperial court..."

"Oh!"

Li Suyi looked forward, with a cold face and a somewhat mocking tone.

"The collusion between officials and bandits has made this country rotten to the core!"

"Leader, I'm afraid this is our chance..."

Yang Yu said from the side: "I just rescued a few detectives from Jingzhao Mansion. If nothing else happens, this matter will be spread back soon. If so many people die, it will inevitably cause trouble in Jingzhao Mansion and Qintian When the time comes, it will be a good opportunity for us..."

"..."

"What?!"

In Jingzhao Mansion.

Lin Xian, who was Jing Zhaoyin at the time, stared at Chen Jin in the hall with an extremely gloomy face.

"More than a hundred people died?!"

"That's right..."

Chen Jin, who was sitting in the hall, had heavy eyes and gritted his teeth and said: "My subordinates went outside the capital to investigate the origins of those people, but were unexpectedly ambushed by them, and many brothers died... At the same time, hundreds of people in that village, all Dead..."

Lin Xian fell down on the chair, his face turned a little pale.

More than a hundred people died, and this matter could never be concealed.

Within his jurisdiction, with so many people dead, something big is going to happen!

If this matter spreads, I am afraid it will cause panic among the people in the capital.

"Seal the scene and don't let any information leak out. Everyone who knows about this matter should shut up. If any news leaks out, I'll ask you questions!"

Lin Xian's tone was a bit gloomy and cold.

Chen Jin also understood the seriousness of this matter and nodded: "Yes!"

Lin Xian sat on the chair with his eyes closed and had a headache!

What a headache!

Why is this kind of thing discovered outside the capital?

What are the origins of those shadow people?

Are they going to rebel?

This thought came to mind, and Lin Xian felt a little uneasy.

Although he is Jing Zhaoyin of Jing Zhao Mansion, he is in charge of the daily public security affairs in the capital area. But everyone knows that his position is not easy to fill.

Being in a whirlpool of power like the capital, he had to be cautious and take every step carefully, for fear that a big mistake would happen if he was not careful.

More than a hundred people died, it was absolutely impossible to hide this matter!

Once the news gets out, things will be out of control, and a scapegoat must come out to take over the matter.

And that scapegoat... is most likely himself!

As Jing Zhaoyin, if such a big thing happens, he has no choice but to shoulder the responsibility!

Thinking of this, Lin Xian couldn't sit still!

He had to do something.

…

The capital, the palace!

Inside the palace, there was a bit of deserted feeling.

A figure quickly walked through the splendid corridor and quickly stepped outside a palace.

The eunuch at the door was shocked when he saw this figure. He quickly stepped forward, bent down and said respectfully: "Isn't this Protector Xu? Why are you here?!"

"Where is your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty is discussing Taoism with several Taoist priests and immortals in the Imperial Garden..." the eunuch explained.

"Go and report, I have something very important to report to Your Majesty!"

The eunuch and eunuch showed a somewhat troubled look on his face: "Your Majesty said today that no one will be seen..."

"You can go ahead and report it!"

Protector Xu said coldly.

The eunuch hesitated for a moment, but finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, then I will go and inform His Majesty!"

After saying that, the eunuch walked quickly towards the backyard.

In the Imperial Garden.

Several immortal Taoist priests were sitting cross-legged on the futon, with their eyes closed tightly and their expressions solemn.

Just in front of several Taoist priests, a middle-aged man in plain clothes also sat cross-legged on the futon.

Along with several Taoist priests, we closed our eyes and rested our minds.

He looked pious, as if he was performing some strange ritual.

This middle-aged man was the current Emperor Mingde of the Dazhao Dynasty.

This Emperor Mingde was only about fifty years old this year, but his hair was already gray. He looked a lot more haggard, as if he had been exhausted.

Seeing this scene, the eunuch stood aside and did not speak.

The Emperor Mingde in front of him was a famous emperor of Dazhao.

He had been in office for more than 20 years. After a series of reforms, he pulled Dazhao, which had been gradually declining, back to life and brought some vitality.

Especially about a dozen years ago, he launched a foreign war, destroyed the Northern Qi Dynasty, which was the biggest concern of Dazhao, and completely annexed the territory of Northern Qi.

This battle established the prestige of Dazhao.

It also completely established the reputation of this Northern Qi emperor!

Perhaps it was because he had consumed too much experience when he was young, so that the Emperor Mingde had white hair at a young age.

Not long after that, the Northern Qi emperor suddenly stopped caring about state affairs and began to study...cultivating immortals!

Perhaps he found some immortal cultivation methods in ancient books, and the Northern Qi emperor became obsessed with immortality and could not stop.

The entire court gradually became chaotic.

But all this seemed to have nothing to do with him.

I don't know how long it took.

Emperor Mingde, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, slowly opened his eyes. His slightly old face, but his eyes glowed with a brilliance that was inconsistent with his age.

"The two immortals are indeed extraordinary. I feel extremely relaxed!"

Emperor Mingde glanced at the two and said with a smile: "This absorption of the essence of the sun and the moon is really effective."

One of the Taoist priests immediately said: "Your Majesty, this is a practice method that my Taoist temple has treasured for many years. Your Majesty only needs to bathe in the essence of the sun and the moon every day and absorb the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth for your own use. Over time, you will definitely be able to prolong your life. If you practice to a certain level, it is even possible to become an immortal..."

"The founder of my Taoist temple successfully became an immortal with this practice method. Your Majesty is the body of a golden dragon. Given time, you will surely live forever and live forever between heaven and earth..."

These words made Emperor Mingde feel very happy.

Who doesn't want to live forever?

For Mingde, now he has nothing to ask for except longevity!

He waved his hand: "Come on, send the two Taoist priests to rest!"

After the two Taoist priests left, Mingde noticed the eunuch beside him: "Hey, why are you here?"

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, the eunuch came forward: "The Protector Xu of the Imperial Astronomical Department is asking for an audience outside the door!"

"What is he doing here?"

Mingde frowned slightly, but still nodded: "Let him come over!"

"..."

"What?"

Emperor Mingde stared at Protector Xu kneeling in front of him, his eyes slightly solemn and gloomy.

"Such a thing actually happened under the feet of my Great Zhao Emperor? Have you investigated it clearly? Who did it?"

Protector Xu said in a deep voice: "I am investigating this matter with all my strength. This matter is too serious. I have to report it to Your Majesty. Please make a decision!"

More than a hundred lives are definitely not easy to take away.

The news has spread to the court, and many officials can no longer sit still.

Once it spreads to the people, it will definitely cause unrest in the capital.

At the same time, when Jingzhao Yin reported this matter, Xu Hufa had already noticed something was wrong.

Who on earth was so bold that he dared to kill so many people under the eyes of his Qintiansi in the capital.

Did he really think that his Qintiansi did not exist? !

Emperor Mingde frowned. Even though he had not been involved in state affairs for a long time, he still instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this matter.

"Where is Ying'er?"

Emperor Mingde asked.

Xu Hufa said: "The eldest princess went to Nanzhou to deal with the affairs of the major sects in the rivers and lakes, and she has not returned yet..."

Emperor Mingde frowned slightly: "The major sects need to deal with it for so long, she has been gone for several months, right?"

Xu Hufa did not speak.

"Let her come back, I want to see her!"

Emperor Mingde was silent for a moment, and then said: "This matter will be fully handed over to your Qintiansi to handle. Make sure to find out the person behind it, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Yes!"

"..."

Xu Hufa left the palace, but there was a slight relief in his eyes.

He came to see His Majesty today, in addition to reporting this matter to His Majesty, the most important thing is to test His Majesty's tone.

Now the situation in the capital is increasingly unfavorable to his Qintian Division, at this time, His Majesty's thoughts are extremely important.

What is His Majesty's attitude towards his Qintian Division now?

From His Majesty's tone before, His Majesty still seems to be not paying much attention to the government. He still gave full authority to his Qintian Division to handle this matter.

This is absolute trust!

Full authority means that his Qintian Division can handle this matter with confidence.

It seems that... His Majesty is still very confident in them.

Thinking of this, Xu Hufa breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, his eyes condensed again.

More than a hundred lives, this is a big deal.

This means that someone is provoking the authority of his Qintian Division.

No matter who the other party is, anyone who dares to provoke the authority of the Qintian Division.

Kill without mercy!

...

It has been a while since the beginning of autumn.

The weather is getting colder and colder.

It has been drizzling in the sky of the county city these days.

The drizzle, accompanied by the cold air, adds a bit of loneliness and coolness.

In the past few days, Li Beifeng went to the Imperial Astronomical Department several times. But every time he was told that the princess was not there.

This made Li Beifeng slightly aware that something was wrong.

It couldn't be that he was not there every time he went there?

Is there such a coincidence?

An idea gradually arose in Li Beifeng's mind.

Could she still be angry... and not want to see him?

Li Beifeng was surprised when this idea came up.

At the same time, he was a little bit amused.

If this is really the case, she is really a little... childish!

It is somewhat unexpected that the princess is so angry that she avoids seeing him.

However, Li Beifeng finally did not force it.

Since she doesn't want to see him, even if Li Beifeng forces her to see her, I am afraid he will not get a good face.

Thinking of this, Li Beifeng gave up temporarily.

Let's talk about it later.

"Hey!"

Li Beifeng, who had just returned to the inn, ran into Shen Qingning, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

She was standing at the door of the inn, waiting for Li Beifeng like a young wife.

When she saw Li Beifeng appear, her beautiful eyes immediately showed excitement and joy, and then she cheered and jumped directly in front of Li Beifeng.

Seeing her jumping like this, Li Beifeng was a little worried that she would fall.

"Hey, where have you been?"

Although her face was full of joy, the girl's tone deliberately carried a questioning tone.

Ask this guy where he went.

"I went out for a casual walk..."

Li Beifeng explained casually: "Are you out of prison?"

"Yes..."

Shen Qingning spoke subconsciously, and then realized something, and immediately hit him with her little fist: "Bah, what out of prison!"

"It's not out of prison, your father is willing to let you out?" Li Beifeng pouted.

"Do you think it's possible?"

Shen Qingning rolled her eyes and said angrily: "My father would like to watch me twelve hours a day and tell me not to go anywhere..."

"Then how did you get out?"

"I'm smart!"

Shen Qingning smiled triumphantly, her eyes narrowed into a slit.

"I sneaked out while my father was out..."

Li Beifeng pouted and said nothing.

This girl probably used her intelligence to compete with her father.

Thinking about it, Li Beifeng suddenly felt that Mr. Shen was quite pitiful...

"Hey, what are you still standing there for?"

Shen Qingning looked at Li Beifeng's dazed look, and pouted her lips slightly dissatisfied: "I finally got out. I haven't been out for a long time... Come on, go out with me."

Shen Qingning, who was locked up at home, was almost going crazy!

At this time, she finally ran out and grabbed Li Beifeng and wanted to go out.

"Wait...it's still raining outside!"

Li Beifeng grabbed Shen Qingning, who was running wild like a rabbit, and picked up an umbrella from the counter next to the inn.

Shen Qingning stood aside obediently, and waited until Li Beifeng held up the umbrella, then walked forward, leaned against Li Beifeng side by side, and walked out of the inn together.

Behind the inn, the shopkeeper looked at this scene with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Ergou on the side pondered thoughtfully: "So willing to come...the son-in-law and the young lady, it's almost certain?"

"What do you think?"

"I think...it's almost there!"

Ergou concluded: "Anyway, I think the son-in-law and the young lady are a good match!"

"I think so too!"

The shopkeeper looked at the backs of Li Beifeng and Shen Qingning.

The mist and rain were hazy.

On the street, the two held an umbrella and gradually went away.

The shopkeeper, who had watched the young lady grow up since childhood, showed a bit of relief in his eyes at this moment.

...

"Where are you going?"

On the street.

There were not many pedestrians coming and going, and the few pedestrians who were there were all hurried past, and no one noticed the two idle people under the umbrella.

Shen Qingning was obviously in a good mood.

After strolling out of the house and staying with Li Beifeng again, Shen Qingning always had a bright smile on her face.

She looked left and right, not missing any place.

Hearing Li Beifeng's question, she immediately turned her head and looked at Li Beifeng on the side, pouting her lips slightly dissatisfied: "Is it not okay for me to just walk around?"

"Okay..."

"You are so reluctant, don't you want to stay with me?"

"No!"

"Then do you swear?"

"..."

"You said that people from Dazhao don't lie to people from Dazhao!"

"..."

"Look, I knew you really didn't want to stay with me!"

Shen Qingning's tone suddenly became aggrieved.

She couldn't help but stretch out her hand and pinched Li Beifeng's waist fiercely.

"Who did you learn this nonsense from..."

Li Beifeng grimaced in pain and said unhappily: "I didn't say that. I just think, why are we two strolling here for so long? Don't you think it's weird?"

"Is it weird?"

Shen Qingning snorted and asked back.

Li Beifeng wanted to refute, but gave up after thinking about it.

"Not weird!"

"That's more like it!"

Seeing that Li Beifeng didn't argue with her anymore, Shen Qingning was satisfied.

The little hand that was originally pinching Li Beifeng's waist moved down and soon fell into Li Beifeng's palm.

Then, she grabbed Li Beifeng's palm with her little hand, interlocking her fingers.

Li Beifeng lowered his head slightly, just in time to see Shen Qingning's cheeks blushing, looking at him with a little smug smile.

Squinting slightly, her eyes were full of satisfied and happy smile.

Li Beifeng was slightly touched.

However, he still didn't spare anyone.

"What are you doing? Taking advantage of me?"

"Pooh!"

Shen Qingning pouted unhappily, her face slightly red: "You can't spit out ivory from your dog's mouth!"

But soon, she didn't bother with Li Beifeng anymore.

The little hand tightly grasped Li Beifeng's palm, and her body leaned slightly against Li Beifeng. Feeling the familiar heat and breath coming from Li Beifeng, she felt particularly at ease.

Although she was a little bold in broad daylight, she was a little nervous. However, she still did not let go.

The two continued to walk on the street, and soon stopped in a busy area.

A woman's voice came to her ears, and Shen Qingning couldn't help looking up, and saw a few women standing at the door of a busy place not far away, enthusiastically soliciting passing guests.

She raised her head slightly and saw three big characters on the plaque on the door.

"Qingxianglou!"

Shen Qingning was immediately angry and pinched it hard: "What are you doing?"

"Ah?" Li Beifeng reacted and said strangely: "What are you doing?"

"Why are you stopping here, do you want to..."

Shen Qingning's face was full of smiles, but she could feel her gritting her teeth: "Do you want to go in?"

Li Beifeng seemed to think of something and looked back at the lively Qingxianglou.

"What are you thinking? Nonsense!"

"Humph, I'm talking nonsense?"

Shen Qingning is not so easy to fool. She rolled her eyes and said angrily: "Then dare you swear that you have never been to such a place?"

Li Beifeng: "..."

"Do you dare?"

"..."

Li Beifeng really doesn't dare.

He really has been there.

More than once or twice.

"I know..."

Seeing Li Beifeng's reaction, Shen Qingning was immediately angry.

This bastard has really been to such a place?

"Tell me the truth!"

Shen Qingning gritted her teeth and asked angrily: "Why did you go to such a place?!"

What else can you do in such a place?

Seeing that Shen Qingning seemed to want to get to the bottom of it, Li Beifeng sighed: "You misunderstood, I went here... for a reason."

"What reason?"

Shen Qingning kept chasing.

"This is a long story... I'll tell you in detail next time when I'm free?"

"I'm free now, go ahead!"

Obviously, Shen Qingning is a person who gets to the bottom of things. She won't give up until this matter is cleared up today!

What is this bastard doing in Qingxiang Tower?

What else can he do here?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingning became nervous.

This bastard, didn't he really come here to find a woman?

He wouldn't be...not clean, right?

Thinking of this, Shen Qingning's heart tightened, and she felt a little sour.

Although...although I know that this guy is no longer...

But, there is a difference...

Shen Qingning can't accept the women here.

Seeing Shen Qingning's eyes watering, she seemed to be getting more and more aggrieved. If Li Beifeng didn't explain, she might cry on the spot.

"Okay, don't think too much, I came here because of what happened last time..."

Li Beifeng explained to Shen Qingning about the last time he was chased and fled here.

Of course, Li Beifeng didn't mention the reason for coming here for the second time.

And this explanation is obviously reasonable. Shen Qingning was stunned after hearing it: "Is it just like that?"

"What else? Do you think I came to the brothel to find a lady?"

Li Beifeng sneered and took the initiative: "Am I this kind of person in your mind?"

"I..."

Shen Qingning suddenly felt guilty. She, she did think so just now.

If Li Beifeng didn't explain, she might really suspect that Li Beifeng went here to find a brothel girl.

At this time, being questioned by Li Beifeng, she suddenly felt a little guilty.

"I, I didn't mean it..."

"So, do you really think I'm that kind of person?"

Li Beifeng was heartbroken, with an extremely sad look on his face: "So in your mind, I'm actually that kind of person. I'm so disappointed, you broke my heart..."

"I, I..."

Shen Qingning had never seen such a scene before, and was immediately embarrassed by Li Beifeng's questioning, and her voice became smaller: "Yes, I'm sorry, I, I shouldn't have doubted you..."

"Do you know you're wrong?" Li Beifeng had no expression on his face.

"Well..."

"Will you dare to do it next time?"

Shen Qingning said weakly, lowering her head slightly: "No more..."

"Don't doubt me casually in the future, understand?"

Li Beifeng said with a serious face: "No matter what I do, I have my reasons. If you don't understand, don't question it casually. What you see may not be true, you know?"

"oh!"

Shen Qingning still lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "I know..."

Seeing that Shen Qingning was almost ashamed, she was so aggrieved that she was about to cry.

Li Beifeng quits when he sees fit!

This wave of preemptive strikes was extremely effective. It not only shocked the girl, but also left a way out for herself.

Advance to attack, retreat to defend!

Perfect!

"Come on, let's have tea!"

Immediately afterwards, before Shen Qingning came to her senses and without giving her a chance to think, Li Beifeng took her to the teahouse opposite.

By the time Shen Qingning came to her senses, she had already appeared in the teahouse.

"What are we doing here?"

"Drink tea!"

Li Beifeng poured her a cup of tea!

Shen Qingning doubtfully picked up the tea and took a sip.

"Bah, bah, bah..."

Shen Qingning immediately vomited it out: "It tastes terrible!"

Miss Shen, who has been pampered since childhood, has naturally never drank this kind of tea.

"Why are you drinking the tea here? My father has good tea, why don't you drink it at my house?"

Li Beifeng glanced at her: "Do you allow me to drink your father's good tea?"

Shen Qingning didn't care: "It's okay, I'll steal it from him!"

The black-hearted cotton stone is hammered!

"Coming to the teahouse to drink tea is not necessarily just for tea!" Li Beifeng shook his head.

Shen Qingning looked stunned: "What do you mean?"

"Don't worry!"

Li Beifeng shook his head slightly, signaling her to be silent.

At this time, people were coming and going in the teahouse.

Not far from the next door, there were all kinds of businessmen and knights who came from the world.

They were in twos and threes, talking a lot.

Li Beifeng's eyes fell on a person not far away.

A man!

The whole body is dressed up as if it comes from the north.

It's him!

…

At the same time, there was a window somewhere in Qingxiang Building not far downstairs.

A figure stood at the window, watching quietly as Li Beifeng and Shen Qingning walked into the teahouse opposite.

His eyes were blank and he didn't speak for a long time.

"Miss……"

Xiuxiu appeared from behind and reminded: "Miss, is it time to go out?"

Murong Die finally came back to her senses and glanced at the door of the teahouse for the last time.

I don't know why, but there are some...unexplainable thoughts in my heart.

She took a deep breath and looked away.

Turn around and leave.
