Chapter 21
Yan Xi was stunned.
Soon he came to his senses amidst the sudden reprimand—Song Beiming still hated Tang Yaoxue.
So when saw a face that looked like Tang Yaoxue, also hated it.
That night five years ago, Song Beiming gave up and left, but it wasn't the end of the hatred.
Yan Xi followed Song Beiming's words and took two steps back.
However, Song Beiming couldn't bear such a distance.
After Song Beiming took a sip of his tea, he pointed to a further location.
Yan Xi stood far away according to his words, and he felt a little pity, the smell of Song Beiming faded away.
A gust of south wind blew, caressing Yan Xi's body, blowing in the direction of Song Beiming.
Song Beiming suddenly choked and coughed, spewing tea all over the floor, shaking the ground from the coughing.
Yan Xi looked over in puzzlement, at such a moment, as a low-level official, he should show at least some kindness and concern for a prince.
But Song Beiming evaded like a snake and stretched out his hand and made a resolute stop gesture.
Another gust of wind came.
Song Beiming frowned, coughed again, and shouted, "Don't stand upwind."
Yan Xi became more and more puzzled. When a gust of wind brought the fragrance of flowers in the distance, Yan Xi suddenly realized a certain possibility.
He stared at Song Beiming suddenly, carefully sizing up Song Beiming's face and figure.
Thinking inconceivably: Isn't it?
Song Beiming really couldn't bear his smell, he waved his hands again and again, until Yan Xi stood under the eaves opposite, and asked, "What kind of incense do you use on your body?"
"I..." Yan Xi was stunned, the other party could really smell it!
But after so many years, no one has smelled it, even if he is close to the servant, he can't smell the smell.
Why can Song Beiming smell it?
Song Beiming's eyes dimmed, and he asked again: "No, tell me the truth, what medicine did you take?"
"..." Yan Xi faintly believed in a certain possibility, and he made up random things: "I have recently suffered from wind-heat, and I took some medicine at home.I'm done. I'm really sorry for hindering the young prince's observation."
Song Beiming chased after him: "If you don't want to tell the truth, it seems that you also know that the things you use are rare things. I heard that your family is poor, and it is impossible to buy any good things..."
Song Beiming said while thinking, when he thought of something, his expression suddenly changed, and he asked sharply, "You are not Xuan Yin, who are you?!"
Yan Xi froze for a moment as if frightened, his face turned embarrassing, and he seemed to be angry and said: "Destroying a person's reputation is worse than killing someone. If the little prince hates me so much, why don't you kill me directly? How troublesome is it to embarrass me like this?"?”
Song Beiming sneered, "You didn't say a single word of truth. This king knows how you got the top spot in the exam. The paper is full of absurd words, and the examiner can believe it. You are a character."
The corners of Yan Xi's eyes were slightly red, and she said aggrievedly: "It's easy to fool one or two people, but it's really too difficult to fool the civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty and even the Holy One. My paper is full of loyalty and conscience. Didn't the little prince have read my paper a long time ago?Do you think I'm cheating?"
In such a battle of words mixed with truth and falsehood, Song Beiming's face gradually turned dark, and he smiled evilly and wickedly: "You talked with me for a long time, but you refused to say a word about medicine. Just because of this alone, it is calledI can't believe a single word you say. If you tell the truth, I won't kill you; but if you keep covering up like this, it will be a disaster sooner or later, don't blame me for not being able to tolerate you."
"I'm so scared to be an official." Yan Xi bit her to death and said, "I just drank a few doses of medicine to dispel the wind and relieve the appearance, and I will lose my life."
At this moment, a very slight blasting sound suddenly sounded not far away.
The sound is so small that only those with enough skill can hear it.
Yan Xi heard it.
At the moment when his ears received the sound waves, Yan Xi saw that Song Beiming's eyes changed obviously. He was glad that he had focused all his attention on dealing with Song Beiming at that moment, so he was lucky enough to cover up his performance of hearing the noise.
Song Beiming was obviously very concerned about the sound of the explosion, and immediately stopped looking at Yan Xi, turned to look at Duyue: "Did you hear that?"
Du Yue's expressionless face flashed past the moment of blankness, and then he understood something, and asked for instructions: "Where is it? The subordinates went to check."
Song Beiming and Du Yue expected that ordinary people wouldn't hear it, and they didn't pay much attention to Yan Xi, a civil official.
Song Beiming pointed to a small door in the north corridor: "Go in through that door, and go through a courtyard."
Yan Xi understood that they were going to move, stopped Du Yue, stood up and said: "The next official is ordered by Mr. Liu to monitor this place. According to the rules here, the two of you can't cross the boundary without reason."
They all put their hands behind their backs: "Fist and feet have no eyes, Mr. Xuan should act according to his ability."
Yan Xi said solemnly: "I was ordered by Shangfeng to monitor the two of you, regardless of my ability. As long as I am here today, I will guard this place. This is the Ministry of Works Shangshu's study room, not the Beiyuan Palace. You two must not cross the line."
Song Beiming said coldly, "What are you talking about with him?"
Du Yue waved the knife, and Yan Xi fell to the ground in response.
Song Beiming didn't care about Yan Xi at all, and even indicated that he broke the door.
Unexpectedly, Du Yue put his palm on the door panel, and four figures flew out from the eaves.The person who came shouted: "Ministry of Works is an important place, please do not enter unless you are here, retreat quickly."
Song Beiming was not surprised, he said clearly: "Sure enough, there are masters hiding here, and they are still first-class secret guards. No wonder the guards outside are so perfunctory, and the doorways are all hidden inside. From this point of view, the person we are looking for isThey are inside, Duyue, stop them."
They all got up and fought with the guards one against four.
Song Beiming rocked the wheelchair by himself and walked forward. He stared at the door and pushed hard, and the heavy door painted red opened in response to the momentum.
Song Beiming went in with a cart, and there was another door inside.
And not far away, Yan Xi, who was originally lying on the ground, moved almost imperceptibly.
Behind that door, there is another high wall, and after crossing it, there is a single-room courtyard.
An eleven or twelve-year-old boy was squatting on the ground, lighting a miniature cannon.
The fire ignited and the cannon rang, and the small artillery spit out its tongue of fire, knocking down a target standing in the distance.
Yan Xi quietly landed behind the young man, and said softly, "Little friend, is your surname Qin?"
The boy was taken aback, turned around and saw a young man with red lips and white teeth behind him.
Seeing that the person had a kind face, he was not terribly afraid, but asked, "Who are you? How do you know my surname is Qin?"
Yan Xi said gently: "I also know that you Qin family either died in the test field, or died of being framed, or died of being hunted down, and you are the only one left, young master Qin Ji."
Qin Ji tilted her head and said, "Aren't you tired of snatching me here and there? I thought I would be safe and secure here for a year, but it looks like I'm going to run around again. Are you going to save me or kill me?"
Yan Xi smiled and said, "Of course I'm here to save you."
Qin Ji said: "Look, you also seem to come to save me. Among killers, I have never seen someone as beautiful as you."
"Young master is so easy to talk, then I will offend you first." After Yan Xi finished speaking, she appeared behind Qin Ji in the blink of an eye, and then raised her hand and landed on the back of Qin Ji's neck.
Qin Ji let out an "ah" and shouted: "You are so beautiful, how can you be unreasonable—" Before she finished speaking, she fell into Yan Xi's arms.
Yan Xi hugged the person and shouted into the air: "Wei Chifeng."
No one answered him.
Yan Xi smiled: "Wei Chifeng, you have been with me for five years, monitoring day and night, but you have never seen you do anything. If you want to protect my safety, it is your most important duty. If you don't send this young master Qin for me todayGo out, and within a moment, I will reveal my identity. How long will it take Song Beiming to get here after dealing with the people outside? Let him find out that I intercepted people under his hands. Do I still have a life? I lost my life, youHow do you do business? Or do you have the ability to rob people under Song Beiming's hands?"
A figure appeared on the roof, and that person flashed in front of Yan Xi, with a knife on his back, folded arms, looked at him coldly, and raised his hand to take Qin Ji.
Yan Xi said: "Send it to the imperial mausoleum and give it to the teacher."
With a dark face, Wei Chifeng hugged Qin Ji, and the ups and downs disappeared.
When Song Beiming arrived, he saw a miniature cannon and a fallen target on the ground, and he knew instantly that someone had stepped on it first.
His face turned black in an instant like dark clouds covering the moon.
It was a step too late, and when I saw this scene, I asked, "Who snatched it?"
Song Beiming said: "In the capital city, this is the first person in the past five years who can do anything under my nose. It seems that the news has already leaked out, and all parties have exhausted their resources.Things have changed."
Du Yue quickly searched the surroundings, confirmed that the building was empty, and came back to report: "There is not much time delay, and the subordinates will go after it."
Song Beiming said: "Don't chase, you won't be able to catch up. Call Fang Xun later to see if there are any clues and which route it is."
Song Beiming's thoughts were clear, and he suddenly thought of something, and said anxiously, "Go and see how that person is doing."
"That person?" All the more stunned for a moment, then came to understand and said, "Got it."
Lift your feet and rush out.
Song Beiming was behind, slowly shaking the wheelchair and walking out.
Returning to the original yard, seeing Yan Xi still lying there, he squinted his eyes.
He stopped beside Yan Xi, leaned over and touched Yan Xi's chin with his bracelet, but Yan Xi didn't respond at all.
Song Beiming said: "Master Xuan, the more you have not killed you, and your position has moved, don't pretend."
Yan Xi slowly opened her eyes, and half sat up with her arms extended.
Song Beiming sarcastically said, "Stop pretending?"
Yan Xi said naturally: "I was about to wake up when I heard General Du coming, so I closed my eyes in fright."
Song Beiming said: "Scholars can speak well, but I don't believe a word of what you say. Did you take him away?"
Yan Xi asked puzzledly: "Who?"
Song Beiming said, "Bring me your hand."
Yan Xi pretended to be afraid, but retracted her hands behind her back: "The friendship between gentlemen ends with courtesy, what does the little prince want to do?"
Song Beiming: "If you were running just now, you must be pulsating fast now. Don't you dare to listen to me?"
Yan Xi refused to stretch out his hand, and blushed and said: "I heard that the young prince is not jealous of men and women, so all kinds of troubles today, are you playing hard to get?"
Song Beiming was startled for a moment, then slowly laughed: "If you want to think that way, it's fine. Xuan Weiyu, can you show me your hand?"
Yan Xi said sternly: "I don't like masculinity, so I won't accompany you."
As he spoke, he stood up, and when he was about to take a step, Song Beiming gently moved him to hook him in.
Yan Xi's center of gravity was unstable, but she didn't dare to forcefully twist, so she could only bump into Song Beiming's arms.
The two hugged each other.
Close, too close.
The two medicinal fragrances are entangled together.
