Chapter 257 A letter from the inner court

Li Qingxian smiled and said: "When I have more messenger plates, or more layers, I will definitely add Sir Duan next time we meet."

Duan Qing waved his hand and said: "Hey, it's not a big deal, don't worry. Come on, I'll give you a final toast, thank you for coming here."

Li Qingxian drank the last glass, and everyone surrounded him and sent him out the door.

After seeing off Li Qingxian and returning to the room, Duan Qing sat down, sighed, and said: "We are all our own people, don't think that I have lost face. This kind of thing is normal. Who would have thought that half a year ago, I was still unknown.

, these six months have passed, and I, the head of the finance department of the Civil War Department, can no longer even hold a talisman position. Xiaoshan, this person's future is limitless."

Lou Yushan nodded vigorously, his thoughts swirling. At the same time, he was secretly annoyed that the last meeting was too pretentious, but he was also glad that he did not say anything too harsh to Li Qingxian, but was a little harsh towards Dai Tie.

Back at the Mingxuan Room, everyone except Han Anbo, who was a teetotaler, drank too much. They all accused Li Qingxian of skipping drinking. Li Qingxian shouted that he was wronged and told what happened.

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

He Lei sighed and said, "Your situation is really special. However, no matter how you calculate it, you have refuted his face. Let's ask Mr. Jing to come forward and toast together to give the other party some face."

Jing Guan smiled and said: "What Lao He said is, at least go through the motions. If it were me encountering this play, called 'Li Qingxian's Eight O'clock Talisman Plate', I would be stuck in my heart for half a month, and there is nothing to explain."

As he said, is it possible to compete with his immediate boss for the talisman position?"

Li Qingxian said: "Go now?"

Everyone stood up to propose a toast. As soon as Duan Qing looked into the well, he saw that the eunuch from the inner factory came to propose a toast without hesitation, and everything that had happened before disappeared.

Until late at night, everyone returned.

Jing Guan returned to the inner factory to stay in a drunken state.

When I woke up the next day, before I had washed or eaten, the entourage of Yan Shixiao, the right-hand punishment envoy in the inner factory, came and asked him to go to the public room of the right-hand punishment envoy.

Jing Guan was anxious all the way, secretly using his true energy to eliminate the alcohol odor from his body.

After entering the study room, he stood with his head down and glanced at Yan Shixiao who was writing.

Yan Shixiao has always liked to put on makeup and powder, and today he also wore light makeup, and his eyebrows and eyes looked very much like a woman's.

Jingguan often hears people say that if Yan Shixiao really wanted to dress up as a woman, her appearance would be enough to overwhelm a city.

After a while, Yan Shixiao finished writing, held the letter paper with his slender fingers, put it into the envelope, sealed it with true essence, and looked up at the well.

Yan Shixiao smiled slightly and said in a sharp voice: "How do you get along with Li Qingxian?"

Jing Guan hurriedly said: "Li Qingxian has always been informal, but he is also a person who knows etiquette and advances. I get along very well with him."

"How many years have you been following me?"

"Your Excellency, it has been three years. Thank you for taking me out of the Huanyi Bureau." Jing Guan felt uneasy and didn't know why Yan Shixiao asked this.

"Yes, three years have passed by." Yan Shixiao looked out the window at the autumn scenery. The leaves of the red oak trees outside the window became more and more colorful.

Jing Guan lowered his head and did not dare to glance at Yan Shixiao from the corner of his eye.

After a while, Yan Shixiao waved his right hand, and the envelope flew lightly into Jing Guan's hands.

"I have something to discuss with Mr. Zhou Chunfeng, but it is not convenient to meet him recently. Please keep this letter and give it to Li Qingxian to pass it on to Mr. Zhou." Yan Shixiao said.

Jing Guan breathed a sigh of relief, carefully put the envelope into his sleeve, and said: "You must do it safely if you are small."

Yan Shixiao smiled and said: "Go ahead and come back to life after seeing you off."

Jing Guan retreated and left, knowing that it was no ordinary letter. He didn't even bother to wash up or eat, and went straight to the patrol department and entered Room Jiajiu.

"Everyone, please go out. I have a word with Qingxian." Jing Guan said.

The other three people went out, Jing Guan closed the door, walked up to Li Qingxian, took out the envelope and handed it over, saying in a low voice: "What Mr. Yan Shixiao asked me to pass on to Mr. Zhou Chunfeng must not be passed on to anyone else."

Li Qingxian's heart skipped a beat, he took the envelope and looked towards the well.

Jing Guan's face looked as usual.

Li Qingxian murmured in his heart, vaguely feeling that there was something wrong with Jingguan, but it was inconvenient to ask, so he said, "I'll leave it to Uncle Zhou."

"I'll wait here. After you hand it over, I'll go back and return." Jing Guan said.

Li Qingxian saw that Jingguan didn't say a word, knowing that it was hard to say anything in depth, so he nodded, got up and headed to Chunfeng Residence.

"Uncle Zhou." Li Qingxian walked in and saw Zhou Chunfeng writing at his desk.

"Yeah." Zhou Chunfeng nodded casually.

Li Qingxian walked to the desk, looked at Zhou Chunfeng's calligraphy, and marveled: "Uncle Zhou's calligraphy is indeed amazing."

Zhou Chunfeng's face was expressionless.

Li Qingxian looked around and put the letter in his sleeve on the table.

"Master Yan Shixiao asked Jing Guan to send it." Li Qingxian lowered his voice.

Zhou Chunfeng's eyes narrowed, then returned to normal and said: "I understand, you can go back."

Li Qingxian originally wanted to ask, but seeing that Zhou Chunfeng didn't want to say anything, he had no choice but to return.

Zhou Chunfeng didn't seem to see the letter and continued to review the documents.

After finishing the review, his eyes fell on the letter and then moved away.

After a while, Zhou Chunfeng touched the letter with his right hand, and then slowly tore open the edge and took out the letter.

Zhou Chunfeng slowly looked down, and dark clouds appeared in the depths of his eyes.

He looked at it three times, his eyes were blue and black, like a reflection of the mountains in the dark night.

He stood up slowly, his back slightly bent, as if he had aged ten years in an instant. He found the fire fold, lit the letter, and shook it gently, causing the ashes to fly away.

Zhou Chunfeng sat back at the table again and looked out the window in autumn. He felt that the room was very cold and it was time to burn charcoal and light a fire.

He looked down at the green silk robe on his body, which was his daughter's favorite color.

I also touched the cow bone fan, which was a birthday gift made by my wife.

Zhou Chunfeng stood up quietly and walked out of the Yewei Yamen. After a while, he brought back a bunch of candied haws and a lotus.

Walking to the maple tree in the small courtyard, Zhou Chunfeng slowly dug out two pits, one large and one small.

Put the lotus in the big one, put the candied haws in the small one, and then slowly bury it with your hands.

He sat on the ground, silently in a daze.

After a long time, Zhou Chunfeng returned to his chair, took out a three-stringed balalaika about a foot long from his silverbait bag, like a model, gently plucked it, and then put it away.

Not long after, the gray falcon flew from outside the house, landed on the ground, and transformed into a human.

"Gray Falcon, Zhou Hen." Zhou Chunfeng said.

"exist."

"I've caused trouble to you two over the years."

The two of them looked at each other, their faces as dark as water.

Zhou Chunfeng sighed softly and said, "Even if I didn't say it, you two would have guessed that I have been working for the prince these years."

The two of them knew that the prince Zhou Chunfeng was talking about was the third prince who was the previous commander of the guards.

Zhou Chunfeng continued: "Back then, the prince was in charge of the Night Guard. In addition to the official divisions, he also established a hidden division called the 'Evil-Destroying Division'. All members of the Evil-Destroying Division were in contact with the prince, except for him.

Besides, we don’t know each other. I just vaguely heard him say that we were going to gather twelve people.”

The two listened quietly.

"Every one of us carries a life-breaking sword, including the prince himself. The prince was framed that day and later died in the East Palace. According to my guess, he actually killed himself to save us, cutting off the lifeline to prevent us from being wiped out.

.Now, the Demon Sect has found me."

The two men suddenly raised their heads and looked at Zhou Chunfeng.
