Pang Xiao took the black whip and looked at the tassel on the tip of the whip and the pendant at the handle, and couldn't help feeling moved.

"Then use mine first." He walked to Huzi and took the whip that he had used for many years, and handed it to Ji Zeyu.

Ji Zeyu took it, shook the whip in his hand, and said with a smile, "It's done, just treat it as a gift from you. Let's go, it's getting late."

Pang Xiao nodded, and suddenly spread his arms to embrace Ji Zeyu.

The two are of similar height, and they are both very tall. Pang Xiao was moved by Ji Zeyu's love for his brother, and the hand holding Ji Zeyu's whip lightly beat Ji Zeyu's back twice.

Ji Zeyu was stunned for a moment, then slowly raised his hand and hugged Pang Xiao back, and then a warm smile that could not be hidden in Taohua's eyes showed.

"Good brother, when I come back, let's have a drink."

"Okay, you won't go home if you don't get drunk." Ji Zeyu pounded Pang Xiao's shoulder.

Pang Xiao laughed and hugged Ji Zeyu heavily before getting back on his horse and raising his hand to Ji Zeyu in high spirits, "Let's go."

Ji Zeyu took Pang Xiao's whip, led the silver-white sweaty horse back a few steps, and gave way.

Everyone in Jinghuwei followed behind Pang Xiao, passed Ji Zeyu on horseback, and soon disappeared into the distance.

Ji Zeyu then clenched the whip that Pang Xiao gave him, returned to his expressionless face, got on his horse, and urged the horse to go back to the capital.

He did not immediately return to his concubine's house, but instead went to Qin's house first. But because he was worried that there were spies guarding the Qin family, he didn't dare to show his face, and just glanced at it from a distance.

Unexpectedly, just after turning a corner from the alley, he saw from a distance that the end of the alley was facing the direction of the gate of Qin's house, and it seemed that a group of people slowly stopped.

The leader was riding a purplish red high-headed horse, dressed in a mink velvet cloak, and a warm hat trimmed with mink velvet.

Even though the distance is far away, Ji Zeyu can easily see that it is not someone else, it is the emperor Li Qitian who should be on the top of the temple in the palace!

Ji Zeyu got off the horse in a hurry, hid sideways on the wall and only looked carefully, but frowned tightly because of worry.

At this time, Li Qitian was standing in front of Qin's house with a gloomy face and hands behind his back. Li Guanwen and the other guards in front of the palace were all panicked and guarded carefully from front to back, left and right.

When I went to Prince Zhongshun's mansion just now, it was completely empty. There were only servants left in the mansion. Pang Xiao's grandfather, husband, wife, and mother said that they went out early in the morning and went with their relatives with their luggage.

How can it be so coincidental that he went out after saying that he was a relative? He didn't know Pang Xiao for a day either. Where would their Yao family and Pang family have relatives to join? It was clear that he was going to tease him!

Alright, alright, since they are talking about relatives, isn't the biggest in-law in their family the Qin family? He wanted to see how the Qin family reacted! If Qin Huaiyuan really dared to cover up his secrets as he guessed, then everything would be out of his hands!

Li Qitian, who was angry, had lost his mind, and ordered in a deep voice: "Go and call the door."

The entourage guards did not dare to neglect, and immediately responded, hurried to knock on the door.

The door answered the door very quickly, only to see that the group of people standing in front of the door was not good, and he was nervous for a while and didn't know what to do: "Everyone, this is the Qin Mansion, how many of you are?"

Li Qitian stood with his hands behind his back, silent.

Li Guanwen looked back at Li Qitian. In this situation, should we reveal his identity? The sage doesn't express his position, but it's really hard to be dead!

Confused in his heart, Li Guanwen had no choice but to try to figure out what the saint was thinking, and said, "The distinguished guest is coming, go and invite your master to come out."

Menzi looked suspiciously at the man in front of him who was white and beardless but dressed in luxurious clothes, and then looked at the rich middle-aged man who seemed to be holding back his anger.

Without any hesitation, he hurriedly turned around and ran into the house.

Compared with the servants of Prince Zhongshun's residence, the servants of the Qin family are obviously more polite and enthusiastic.

Li Qitian's face was cold, seeing that the other party's attitude towards him was so nervous, he felt a little better.

But even so, there was still no way to vent the sullen anger in his heart. He had already ordered someone to go after Pang Xiao. Once he can't catch up, he can't guarantee whether he will show his anger.

In short, now let's take a look at Qin Huaiyuan's attitude.

But after a while, footsteps came from the house, and then the door opened. Qin Huaiyuan, who was wearing a half-new dark blue cocoon silk gown, stood inside the door. When he saw someone outside the door, he immediately pushed the gold mountain down the jade pillar. Kow down on the spot.

Seeing this, Li Qitian did not stop him, and accepted his gift with his hands behind him.

Qin Huaiyuan saw that Li Qitian was in casual clothes, so he didn't dare to call him, only said: "Please come in."

Although the servants next to him didn't know Li Qitian's identity, but looking at Qin Huaiyuan's attitude, they knew that the guests must be honorable, and no one dared to be slighted, so they hurried to tidy up the front hall and prepare refreshments.

After entering the house, Li Qitian hesitated for a while, but still ordered the guards to stand outside the door, and only brought Li Guanwen into the house.

Qin Huaiyuan also knew that he did not let the servants come in to disturb him.

When Li Qitian was seated, Qin Huaiyuan knelt down again and gave a big salute, and then he dared to say: "The Holy One is here in the humble house, and the minister has made a mistake. I hope that the Holy One will forgive me."

Li Qitian stared at Qin Huaiyuan with pursed lips, and said solemnly, "Qin Aiqing, do you know why I came here?"

Qin Huaiyuan knelt upright, and when he heard the words, his eyes showed confusion, and then he pondered for a moment, and said, "I want to come here because I am sympathetic to my ministers, so I came here specially.

"Shut up!" Li Qitian angrily thumped on the table, leaned over and gritted his teeth and said, "You want to play a ghost in front of me? You know why I came here, but you act stupid with me, right? Qin Aiqing, I I have always valued your talents, and I have never embarrassed you because of your status as a minister, so that's how you repay me now, eh?"

Qin Huaiyuan was said to be pale, and he eagerly kowtowed: "Sacred Lord, calm down! Wei Chen doesn't understand what the Holy Lord means. If the Holy Lord wants to instruct the minister, just open his mouth, the minister will do his best to do it, and the minister also knows the Holy Lord well. I have always been conscientious and conscientious in handling tasks, and I have never dared to violate the will of the sage!"

"As you argue, I ask you, do you know about Pang Zhixi's departure from the capital?"

Li Qitian stared at Qin Huaiyuan's face, not wanting to let go of any of his expressions.

Qin Huaiyuan widened his eyes in astonishment and couldn't believe it: "What does the sage mean, Prince Zhongshun has left the capital

Li Qitian didn't answer, he still stared at Qin Huaiyuan, as if he wanted to force Qin Huaiyuan to tell the truth by himself.
