at this time.

Although Hu Quan and Shen Zhong were working hard, they were still late. Seeing Zhou Ji walking through the market, Hu Quan was furious. He motioned to the Jin Yiwei beside him and said fiercely: "Why are you still standing there! Shoot the arrow." !”

As soon as I finished speaking, I felt a pain in my head.

"Idiot!" Hu Quan slapped Hu Quan on the back of the head with a heavy slap and said dissatisfied: "Can this kind of thing be done openly? Qi State and Nanqing have just signed an agreement, and you want to tear up the agreement in front of everyone. !"

"It has been confirmed that Yan Bingyun was secretly detained and did not return to Nanqing. If he shoots the envoy in the street again, will you be responsible for the crime?" There was no longer a smile on Zhong Zhan's face, and his expression was extremely ugly. "Losing people and losing again." Array."

.........

Returning to Honglu Temple, Wang Qinian saw Fan Xian retching in the courtyard, and then saw another man lying on the ground with bloody flesh next to him. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth and asked in surprise: "Master Fan, what's going on?"

Fan Xian covered his stomach with one hand, suppressing his stomach churning, and said impatiently: "Why don't you come and help me quickly?"

Wang Qinian hurriedly stepped forward to help the young man lying on the ground, looked at Zhou Ji who was moving his shoulders next to him, and whispered: "Master Zhou, why did you kidnap someone when you went out?"

Zhou Ji pursed her lips and signaled Wang Qinian to look at it himself, then turned back to the hall, got a teapot and poured himself a drink.

Wang Qinian frowned slightly and stepped forward to lift the man's messy hair. A young man with a frown and a pale face came into view.

"He is...Yan Bingyun?" A flash of light flashed through Wang Qinian's mind, and he called on everyone in the mission to help send the person to the house. He was surprised: "You rescued the person right now?"

After saying that, he turned to look at the gate of Honglu Temple and said hesitantly: "Do you need to send more manpower?"

Fan Xian was much better now, gritted his teeth and said, "We are going through the main entrance."

"Nan Qing and Bei Qi made an agreement to exchange prisoners of war. Sean was handed over to Zhong Zhong before he entered Beijing. As for Bingyun, Bei Qi has not returned it for a long time. If I bring him back quietly from the dark, Zhan Sheng will definitely look for opportunities. Assassination." Zhou Jiti came out of the house with the teapot, leaned on the railing and said with a smile: "But today we went to Beijing to make a big fuss, walked through the streets, did not go through the alleys, and rescued people back to Honglu Temple in front of so many people. , if Chang Sheng wants to take action again, it will give Nan Qing a reason to restart the war."

"The last time a war started, the message was written with the life of Lin Gong, the son of Prime Minister Lin. If Yan Bingyun hadn't been captured, how could this war have been ended so hastily?"

"Right now, the eyes of the entire Shangjing and even the entire Northern Qi are fixed on Honglu Temple. If under such circumstances, Yan Bingyun is killed again, Nanqing will have another reason to start a war."

"Zhongzhong will not do this unless it is absolutely necessary."

"As a last resort... He is not far away from the time when he has no choice but to do so..." Fan Xian thought of Uesugi Tiger, who was closely watching every move of Shen Sheng, and said in a deep voice, "He will soon die of Shen Shen."

"It doesn't matter whether he lives or dies. I have already done what I promised you," Zhou Ji said with a smile, "Thank you for your patronage, where is my big gold chain?"

Fan Xian showed contempt, raised his middle finger at Zhou Ji, and said mockingly: "Aren't you crazy? The character is back?"

"Ahem...it's just this once, it won't happen next time."

Zhou Ji touched her nose in embarrassment and said with a wry smile: "I don't know why, but I want to kill someone when I see that face of his."

Fan Xian nodded thoughtfully and said quietly: "I can understand, but I don't dare."

The two of them walked into the room. Yan Bingyun had already changed the wound medicine and was sitting in front of the couch with a frown on his face.

Because Zhou Ji carried one leg all the way to Honglu Temple, the wound that had not yet healed now burst open again, which can be said to be an added injury.

He knew Wang Qinian and recognized many familiar faces in the mission. Although he still doubted Fan Xian out of instinct, he no longer dared to say this in front of Zhou Ji.

He knew that this person really dared to attack him.

........

Three days actually passed very quickly for Zhou Ji on the occasion of parting, but for some people who needed to take some time off, it was quite an ordeal.

Outside the city of Shangjing, beside the ancient river, I say farewell to you after a long journey.

On the day Zhou Ji left, Fan Xian was the only one who came to see him off.

The two of them stood on the bank of the ancient river, looking at the footprints along the way. The ones nearby were clearly visible, while those in the distance were gradually blurred.

Zhou Ji was not good at drinking, but he made an exception to toast Fan Xian.

After pouring the spicy liquor into his mouth, Zhou Ji's face quickly turned red visibly. He shook his swollen head and curled his lips and said, "I really don't understand what's so good about this thing."

Fan Xian drank far better than Zhou Ji, and his expression remained unchanged after one drink, and he mocked, "It's better than the drinks you often drink."

"Don't mistake fruit wine for wine." Zhou Ji curled her lips and said, "It also contains alcohol."

"Yes, yes." Fan Xian did not argue with Zhou Ji, but turned to look at the vast river on the north bank of the ancient river, and sighed, "We say goodbye today, and I'm afraid we won't see each other again. I hope you have a smooth journey and can arrive at the temple safely.

."

The drunkenness on Zhou Ji's face faded a little, and he turned around to look in the direction of Nanqing and Kyoto. With a faint look in his eyes, he murmured in a low voice: "Goodbye, we will never meet again."

As soon as he said these words, it was like a basin of cold water was poured on his heart. Zhou Ji immediately calmed down, waved his hand, and said calmly: "That's it, that's all. Since we have decided to leave, there is no need to do these things that will hurt the spring and autumn."

Zhou Ji jumped up and got on the carriage and said loudly: "There is no need to see you on the road ahead. You and I will be safe on our own."

Fan Xian sighed softly and stood there for a long time watching Zhou Ji leave.

.........

Go to the capital, Shen Mansion.

Because of Zhou Ji's intrusion, Yan Bingyun was easily rescued by Fan Xian, which made Zhong Zhong even more wary of the unknown sword coffin Master Zhou.

In the past few days, the number of hidden sentries around Honglu Temple has increased so much that the two men's whereabouts were heavily traced before they even left the city.

He stretched out his hand to smooth out the wrinkles on the surface of the official uniform, stared heavily at the python pattern on the front of the rookie, and said softly: "Master Lang Tao has already set off, right?"

Hu Quan, the confidant next to him, handed over a brush with a flattering look on his face and said with a smile: "We have already taken a position in the pine forest outside the city in advance. We are just waiting for Zhou Ji to pass by, and then... click~"

Hu Quan made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hands.

He took the brush heavily and as soon as he touched the collar of the python robe, he suddenly stopped and said thoughtfully: "Go and invite Mr. He here."

"Then Zhou Ji is young and his strength is only at the ninth level. Are you afraid that Master Langtao won't be able to take him down?" Hu Quan asked curiously.

"For some reason, I always have an ominous premonition in my heart." Zhong Zhong glared at Hu Quan with a look of disgust, and said in a deep voice: "Although Yan Bingyun was kidnapped last time, the suspicion of Daoren He has been cleared.

, but I still have a grudge in my heart. I called him not because I wanted him to defeat Lang Tao, but because I was afraid that his butt would be crooked and he wanted to sit on Fan Xian's end."
