The night is as cool as water, and countless stars are shining in the sky, reflecting the blue sky.
Zhou Yi and Tang Shangxin leaned on the railing in the backyard of Shenhou Mansion, looking up at the boundless night sky.
Under the moonlight, Zhou Yi was listening quietly to Tang Shangxin's words, his clear eyes shining with a hint of brilliance.
She raised her head excitedly, and kept talking about how she had captured countless notorious bandits in the Shenhou Mansion during this period of time, and how she eventually became a disciple of one of the Four Famous Detectives - Wuqing.
Somehow, looking at that delicate profile that looked like a sculpture, Zhou Yi suddenly had a strange feeling.
Before they met, Zhou Yi had many things he wanted to pour out to Tang in person, but for some reason, when he actually saw her in person and breathed in her warm body breath, he suddenly felt that this was enough.
He just wanted to look at her quietly like this, forever and ever.
"Is it cold?"
Tang Shangxin smiled and shook her head, but Zhou Yi slowly took off his white robe and put it on Tang Shangxin's shoulders. Then he stretched out one arm and unexpectedly hugged Tang Shangxin in his arms.
Tang Shangxin's body trembled violently as if he was electrocuted, but then he slowly lowered his head and leaned slowly on Zhou Yi's shoulder.
The two of them leaned against each other gently for a long time, and suddenly a light sound of footsteps came from a distance, which suddenly made the two of them let go of each other and stood on both sides with blushing faces.
"Ahem! It seems that I came at the wrong time?" The person who came was Nie Han. He looked at the two of them with a malicious smile.
"Ahem! Um... Master wants to talk to me about something else, so I'll be leaving first!" Tang Xinxin's cheeks flushed. After hesitating for a few words, he walked away in a flash.
Zhou Yi shrugged, turned around and leaned on the railing, turned his head and asked Nie Han: "Tell me! What on earth did you ask me to do?"
"Oh? You seem to know I'm coming to see you?"
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "If you hadn't insisted and persuaded your two brothers, how could I, the world's number one villain, enter the righteous place of the Divine Marquis Mansion? I'm also very curious, what exactly do you, the Divine Constable, need me to do for you?"
"Someone told me that Qianbei Buzui was not good at these tricks of observing people's expressions and scheming. Now it seems that was pure nonsense!"
"Haha! Every failure makes you wiser. The more tricks you take, the smarter you will become!"
Nie Han nodded, walked slowly to Zhou Yi's side, and lowered his voice suddenly: "Do you remember the promise you made to someone in Luoyang? Will you help that person regain the throne?"
Zhou Yi suddenly turned his head and stared at Nie Han's face for a long time before he whispered, "Are you from Emperor Zhao Bing's side?"
"Yes!" Nie Han nodded, spread his hands and said helplessly: "The Ninth Prince told me that the position of the chief guest official under his account will always be reserved for you. And I am the second one!"
Zhou Yi nodded and pondered, "Is this your personal opinion? Or does it represent the attitude of the entire Shenhou Mansion?"
"Oh!" Nie Han chuckled and said, "The Divine Marquisate is now controlled by my senior brother Wu Tianxia. He follows the righteousness of Zhuge Divine Marquis and will naturally only be loyal to the Song Dynasty and will not get involved in party disputes! As for my second senior brother Bu Lingchen, he is crazy about martial arts and naturally doesn't care about this matter. But you have to be careful, I'm afraid that these few days, he may challenge you to a duel."
"So what is the current situation in Kaifeng city?" Zhou Yi asked seriously.
"It's not good. The emperor favors the Dansheng Wuguizi, who is obsessed with immortality all day long, causing chaos in the court. The mediocre prince has gradually lost power, the power of the fourth prince is growing, and our ninth prince is still in the stage of keeping a low profile."
"Oh? What is the origin of these four princes? How can they call the shots in the entire Kaifeng city?"
Hearing this, Nie Han's face couldn't help but darken. "Fourth Prince Zhao Yanhao is very good at dealing with people. He has connections in both the underworld and underworld factions. As for his direct descendants, they are said to have some connection with the Sun Moon Divine Sect. The rest are still confusing."
"Even the Divine Marquisate is so confused about him, it seems that this person does have some connections!" Zhou Yi suddenly stood up, gently patted Nie Han's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Don't worry! Now that I'm here, I will definitely do my best to help Emperor Bing ascend to the throne!"
"Xiao Qianbei, Third Senior Brother!" Tang's sad and hurried voice suddenly came from a distance: "Ninth Prince Zhao Dibing is here to visit!"
"Huh?" Zhou Yi was surprised. He turned his head and stared at Nie Han and said with a smile, "This is really like talking about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!"
... ... ... ... ... ... ...
The night was solemn. Emperor Bing of Zhao walked through the corridor under the eaves. After pausing for a moment, he entered the main hall at the side and nodded to Wu Tianxia and Bu Lingchen who had been waiting there for a long time.
"My Lord Ninth Prince, you are visiting me so late at night. I am sorry for not welcoming you in person!" Due to the difference in status, Wu Tianxia stood up and greeted him respectfully.
"No need to be polite!" Zhao Dibing hurriedly helped Wu Tianxia up and said, "There is no one else here. I usually hang out in the Shenhou Mansion, so I am half a Shenhou Mansion member. Brother Wu, are you being polite to me?"
"Well, please take a seat, Your Majesty!"
The three of them took their seats one by one, and Wu Tianxia was the first to ask, "I wonder why the Ninth Prince came to my Divine Marquis Mansion so late at night?"
"Alas!" Emperor Zhao Bing slowly put down the teacup he had just picked up and said with a worried look on his face, "Brother Wu, have you heard about what happened in the court today?"
"No, my three brothers went out to investigate the theft of government silver. We just came back this afternoon and have not found out anything yet." Wu Tianxia frowned, "Could it be that something big happened in the court today?"
"Alas!" Zhao Dibing sighed and said sadly, "Today the court was supposed to discuss the case of the Heavenly Prison being solved, but who would have thought that after being bewitched by the evil Taoist Wuguizi, my father would happily prepare to sail to the East China Sea to kill strange beasts? To practice that useless elixir of immortality! It's really ridiculous!"
"When a country is about to fall into chaos, evildoers will appear!" Bu Lingchen, who was known for his cold words, suddenly blurted out these words, instantly bringing the atmosphere in the entire living room to freezing point.
After a long while, Emperor Zhao Bing shook his head and said with a worried look on his face, "My father actually ordered me to find a master to complete the task of slaying the dragon. According to ancient records, the scales of the blue dragon and other beasts are thick. Without magic weapons, there is no way to deal with them. Where can I find those martial arts masters holding magic weapons?"
Speaking of this, Bu Lingchen and Wu Tianxia's eyes suddenly lit up, they smiled at each other tacitly, but before they could open their mouths, a hearty laugh suddenly came from outside the house.
"I heard someone is looking for a master and a magic weapon? I wonder if me and my Butterfly Love Flower are considered as one of them?" (To be continued)
