"My lord, the whereabouts of the county master have been found out. She is currently with Dongfang Jie."
Liu Yong came to the study silently, and returned to the master who was concentrating on the book in his hand.
Long Haotian raised his eyebrows slightly, put down the book in his hand, pondered for a while, and said lightly:
"Why did Qian Qi and Dongfangjie go together?"
"I don't know about the young ones. But I just saw the two at the Guanyin Temple, and the county master seems to be having a good time."
Liu Yong reported what he saw just now; he was ordered to look for the whereabouts of the county master, but he did not expect to see the two at the Guanyin Temple.
"Yes?"
Long Haotian was thoughtful, and there was a creepy smile on the corner of his lips. If he guessed correctly, then the girl probably likes Dongfangjie.
"My lord, do you need to bring the county master back?"
"Don't need it for now. It's good to know her whereabouts. I believe Dongfangjie will take good care of her. Do you know where she is now?"
Maybe he can use Qian Qi to help him prove one thing.
"At the Xilai Inn, room number two."
"very good."
Long Haotian put down the book in his hand, and with his tall body, he played with the jade plate finger in his hand, and a plan quietly formed in his mind.
It seems that it is impossible for Dongfang Jie to take the initiative to come to this Yanyun Hotel, so he doesn't mind taking the initiative to find him; anyway, he has had nothing to do for a while, and it is rare to find a thing that interests him. He would not give up.
He is now looking forward to the moment when the truth will be revealed.
"Liu Yong, get ready, let's also go to the Xilai Inn."
"Yes."
Liu Yong took a peek at his master, and when he saw that his eyes were unusually bright, with a hint of eagerness, he couldn't help but tremble. Usually the master will show this kind of look, it means that someone is going to be unfortunate, and he is very sympathetic to the person who has aroused the master's interest.
Very sympathetic.

Looking at the simple and clean furnishings in the guest room, when she saw the quilt on the bed, it was a fresh blue quilt, she didn't need to step forward to touch the mold, and she could easily guess that the quilt must be very comfortable and touchable. The feeling is excellent; thanks to the caring brother, it seems that she will have a good night's sleep.
Every dragon and phoenix restaurant in the country has reserved four first-class rooms, which allow the four brothers and sisters to stay at any time. The eldest brother knew that she had been sleeping poorly in the inn outside, so he would ask each restaurant to use the most comfortable bedding if he saw her to stay there.
Just when she put on her shirt and was about to go to bed, a figure swept past the door and window suddenly.
"Who?!"
She drank lowly, picked up the sword on the table, and the figure chased out the next moment, to the small courtyard outside the corridor, and saw the tall figure sitting on the stone chair in the courtyard, drinking, the handsome face changed slightly.
"You're here. The moonlight is good tonight. I specially prepared some food and drinks. Come and eat together."
Seeing him coming, Long Haotian held a cup in one hand and made an invitation to him, his black eyes looking at him deeply.
Delicate eyebrows, a pair of clear and bright eyes, a delicate oval face like white jade porcelain, and beautifully curved lips outline a beautiful and outstanding face.
If he really guessed that the jade-faced hunter in front of him, who has made all women in the world popular, is really a woman, then what will happen to her in women's clothes, under the beautiful face of Yue Dui of all kinds of styles? Long Haotian's deep black eyes narrowed, and he realized that he had an unusual expectation because of this thought.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind blew lightly, blowing Dongfangjie's white crescent shirt, making him look thinner, and a strange feeling suddenly swept across Long Haotian's chest.
"My lord, you are really elegant, and you brought wine and food here late at night."
Dongfang Jie looked at the wine and vegetables on the stone table, frowning slightly, and he really wondered what this Long Haotian wanted. She has to accompany the county master to travel around the mountains and waters during the day, and she has to deal with this man at night. What happened to this brother and sister? Sure enough, being too popular is a troublesome thing, she couldn't help sighing in her heart.
"Don't clean the pestle there, what? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Seeing him still standing there, his thick and smiling voice implied frivolity.
"My lord really likes to joke."
Dongfang Jie slowly approached him, lifted his robe and sat opposite him, took his full glass of wine, raised his head and drank it all in one gulp.
Long Haotian looked at him without blinking and drinking with pride, Jun Yi had a smile on his face but not a smile, and looked at him with one hand on his jaw.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll put medicine in the wine?"
"My lord and I have no grievances or enmity. I believe that the lord will not do such detrimental things."
Dongfang Jie took some spicy fried dried fish, and the spicy taste made her wake up instantly. It was so spicy that she couldn't stand it. She stuck out her tongue involuntarily, quickly filled her glass, and drank it in one breath.
A strange light flashed across Long Haotian's deep black eyes, and his black eyes stared at his rare childish movements for a moment.
"Are you afraid of spicy food?"
Seeing that he ate a few mouthfuls, tears flowed from his nose and nose, and he looked very embarrassed, but it was strange that he couldn't take his eyes away.
This Dongfang Jieguo is really a disaster. He found that his interest in him was getting higher and higher. If he was really the woman he met in the hot spring pool that night, then he would never be able to escape from his palm.
"I love it and I'm afraid. I like spicy food, but every time I eat it, I make myself very embarrassed, but I love the spicy and enjoyable taste. It made the prince laugh."
Why doesn't this Long Haotian eat? His eyes were always staring at her, making her hair stand on end.
"You don't seem to be afraid of me?"
Long Haotianjun smiled, observed his relaxed appearance, and asked with interest.
"No. Believe me I am in awe of you."
If his tone hadn't been implicitly sarcastic, maybe he would have believed him.
"Don't ask me why I came to you late at night for a drink?"
"I thought it was the lord that you couldn't sleep, so you came to me for a drink without leaving your long way."
Dongfang Jie thought about it seriously, and said casually, and the next moment, he buried himself in eating the deliciously spicy side dishes.
A deep laughter drifted in the night sky with the wind...
The black eyes stared at him in a complicated way, Jun's face was thoughtful, and a smile tugged at the corners of his lips.
"Dongfangjie, you are an interesting person. I haven't talked to anyone so happily in a long time."
"Oh, there are some boring people around the lord of Ganqing, which makes the lord unbearable, so he came to chat with me late at night."
Dongfang Jie raised his eyebrows, stopped for a moment, and gave him a distracted glance.
Of course, she knew that his purpose in coming to her was far from pure, but perhaps it was the quietness of the night that made her involuntarily let go of her guard and speak freely with him.
"You're right, there really isn't anyone as interesting as you around this king. If the union often comes to you for a drink, would you welcome it?"
Deep black eyes stared at him. This Dongfang Jie, whether male or female, has aroused his strong interest: he is not in a hurry to uncover the mystery, but wants more opportunities to get along with him, after all, he rarely meets someone who can make him laugh like this.
"Of course I welcome it. However, as you know, my lord, I have always been involved in official business and my whereabouts are uncertain. I am afraid that it will be difficult for my lord to find me."
Dongfang Jie filled the two with wine, his tone was sincere, but he was devious. She didn't want to be entangled by this Long Haotian in every possible way. This man was too deep and scheming. The warning words of the senior brother were still in her ears. If you didn't want to be exposed, it's better to stay away from this man.
"Then it's settled. As long as I have the ability to find you, you have to accompany me to drink and relieve my boredom."
It wasn't that Long Haotian couldn't hear what he meant, the more he was guarded against him, the less he could easily let him go.
"It's a word."
Dongfangjie's back couldn't help but sweat coldly, and there was a wry smile on his handsome face as he gritted his teeth and promised.
"The princess will trouble you to take care of her. When she has had enough fun, I will take her back to the house."
That girl wanted to play for a month, so she was willing to go back with him obediently. With Dongfang Jie taking care of him, he could rest assured. Thinking of her shy and timid expression when her sister mentioned Dongfang Jie, she clearly fell in love with Dongfang Jie.
Dongfang Jie was stunned when he heard the book! Long Haotian's words meant that he... hurriedly swallowed the food in his mouth and said urgently:
"My lord, the county master is a golden branch and a jade leaf. It's really not appropriate to take risks with you."
"This king trusts your ability. There is no need to say more about this matter. It's getting late. We have finished this cup, so you should rest early."
The white jade porcelain cups stomped each other in the air, making a crisp crashing sound. Long Haotian raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
But seeing Dongfangjie's beautiful face, two blushes floated up from drinking, under the soft yellow moonlight, it was indescribably glamorous.
"Dongfangjie, if you were a woman, I would never let you go."
Long Haotian's thick voice was a little suppressed, and his black eyes stared at his eyes that met him out of astonishment.
The eyes of the two meet in the air—
A pair of scorching black eyes revealing the extraordinary enthusiasm that is bound to be won...
A pair of bright eyes showing a slight panic...
Splitting headache.
Insomnia and a hangover made Dongfang Jie look pale in the morning and sit on the bed with his head in his arms.
It was all to blame for what Long Haotian said last night, which scared her tossing and turning all night and couldn't sleep. Look what kind of trouble she got herself into.
Thinking of Long Haotian's serious expression last night, he taught her to shudder, and her hunch really came true.
Ugh! This is good, if the senior brother finds out, she will definitely be killed by him, let alone let the other three brothers know how miserable she will be.
knock knock. A knock came from outside the wooden door, accompanied by the cry of Xiao Er:
"Fourth Young Master, are you awake? I've brought you face wash."
"come in."
Getting the answer, Xiao Er pushed open the wooden door and walked in. He saw Dongfang Jie's handsome face at a glance, and was stunned for a moment. After meeting his unhappy eyes, he quickly recovered and poured hot water beside the bed. In the wooden tub on the shelf, I hung a clean cloth towel, and when I left, I did not forget to ask:
"Fourth Young Master, do you want to have breakfast in the room, or do you want to eat outside?"
"I'm going to have breakfast outside, and by the way, make me a cup of strong tea."
Dongfang Jie rubbed his forehead with both hands and explained with a stinky face. Her head hurts to death! Have a cup of strong tea and see if the spirit will be better.
"Yes. If it's all right, Xiao Xianxian will retire."
When Xiao Er closed the wooden door, he peeked at the people in the room, still unable to hide his surprise. So far, he has only seen the eldest young master come. The people of the Dongfang family are really handsome, but these four young masters are too handsome.
After washing his face with hot water, Dongfang Jie's spirit improved slightly, he picked up the Qinghong sword that never left his body, pushed open the wooden door and walked out.
When he came to the second floor, he picked a corner seat by the window and took a seat. When Xiao Er saw him, he hurriedly brought the breakfast and a pot of hot tea that had been prepared.
"Fourth Young Master, please take it slow."
Dongfangjie drank a cup of hot strong tea, refreshed himself, took a meat bun, took a few bites, and heard whispering discussions behind him.
"Have you heard? In the ruined temple in the west of the city, a female corpse was found this morning. The girl died in a terrible state. Judging from the degree of her messy clothes, she must have been insulted before her death. The most tragic thing is that the murderer turned out to be And cut off her entire face."
"Wow! Real or fake?! Stop talking, I'm about to vomit."
"It's true. On the way I came here, I also saw Zheng Zhaokuai from the yamen lead someone over there."
When Dongfang Jie heard this, his face became serious, he dropped the meat bun in his hand, got up suddenly, and walked towards the stairs.
"Fourth Young Master, where are you going? You haven't eaten your breakfast yet..."
Xiao Er passed him in the stairwell, and seeing his face was different, he hurriedly called out.
"I have other things to do."
Dongfang Jie replied briefly, passed the counter on the first floor, nodded lightly to Wang Qin, and disappeared in front of everyone like a gust of wind.
＊＊＊Exclusive production＊＊＊bbs.＊＊＊
A group of people surrounded the temple in the west of the city. The person who discovered the corpse earlier turned pale after witnessing the tragic state of the corpse, and told the crowd about this heinous and dehumanizing event; when everyone heard about it, they were all shocked, curious and fearful. Turning his eyes to the ruined temple; at this time, two arrests were standing in front of the ruined temple blocking everyone from entering.
When Dongfang Jie came to the ruined temple, she saw a wall of people surrounding her path, so he politely shouted to everyone with a smile:
"My fellow villagers, please make way."
When everyone heard the sound, they all moved out of the way, and everyone moved their eyes to him curiously, whispering and guessing his identity.
"How's the situation inside?"
Dongfang Jie showed the token given by the royal family and asked the two arresters.
"Zheng Zhaotou is inside with the scorpion, please go in, sir."
The two arresters did not dare to stop them, but bowed and saluted, with a very respectful attitude.
Dongfangjie stepped over the threshold and strode in. The sight she saw made her frown and her face became heavy. The female corpse lying in the ruined temple, as she heard in the restaurant just now, was obviously raped and murdered, and then her face was cut off. Looking at the bloody and terrifying face on her face, she couldn't bear to see it, and quickly looked away. This was the first time she had encountered such a terrifying corpse since she took the job as a hunter.
"Brother Dongfang, you are here."
"Brother Zheng, how did the inspection go?"
Dongfang Jie tried his best to hold back the discomfort in his filth, and only dared to keep his eyes on Zheng Zuotou's face.
"As you can see now, the deceased was raped and murdered, and then his face was cut off. The method was very cruel. Who the hell could have dehumanized so much!"
Zheng Zhaotou said at the end, his tone was full of excitement and indignation.
Suddenly, there was a quarrel in front of the broken temple, which attracted the attention of the two people in the discussion.
"Who are you?! Idle people are not allowed to enter!"
The two arresters dutifully stood at the entrance of the temple, holding their swords to block, preventing the two of them from stepping forward.
"Bold! There is no room for you to talk here, so don't step back."
Liu Yong guarded in front of his master, loudly scolding the two people who didn't have long eyes.
"Master Long, why are you here?"
Dongfang Jie turned his head when he heard the sound, but Jing Jing saw Long Haotian, so he hurried forward in surprise.
"Dongfangjie, you came just in time, but tell me, am I waiting for someone else?"
Long Haotian crossed his arms around his chest, and Jun's face was filled with interest, looking at the person who saw him appear and was unconsciously frowning.
"Of course you're not an idle person. Just, why did Young Master Long appear here?"
Dongfang Jie frowned slightly, wondering if he would see him here, this Long Haotian is really haunted.
"Brother Dongfang, who are these two people?"
Afterwards, Zheng Zhaotou, who came out, looked at Long Haotian. The appearance of the person who came was extraordinary, and there was an air of dignity invisibly, coupled with Dongfangjie's tone, he had to be curious about his identity.
Dongfang Jie took Zheng Zhaotou aside and whispered in a low voice.
Seeing this, Long Haotianjun's face sank slightly, and an inexplicable displeasure surged in his heart. The actions of the two were too close.
Seeing Zheng Zhaotou, who was pulled aside, his expression changed. He took three steps in parallel and walked to Long Haotian.
"Wang... Young Master Long, please forgive the small-eyed clumsy. I didn't recognize you. Please forgive me."
"That's it." Long Haotian flicked his sleeves, without looking at him, his dark eyes looked at Dongfang Jie, his thick voice was slightly sullen: "What the hell happened here?"
Dongfang Jie glanced at his sullen face, thinking to himself, this man is really moody. However, it is still a brief description of what happened.
"What are you going to do next?"
Long Haotian asked the person in front of him and noticed the shadows under his eyes. Did he sleep well last night
"I will discuss this matter with Zheng Zaotou again, in order to solve the case in the shortest time. Please rest assured, Master Long."
Dongfangjie made a promise. If this case is not solved as soon as possible, it will definitely cause panic among the people.
"Can you find out the identity of the deceased?"
Long Haotian glanced at the terrifying corpse in the broken temple and asked in a serious tone.
"not yet… "
Suddenly, there was a noise of drumming from outside the crowd, and two old couples pushed the crowd away and squeezed in.
"Bold! This is not a place to watch the fun, so step back!"
The two hunters shouted loudly and strode forward, blocking the two old men from coming forward.
"No! Two adults, we're not here to watch the fun..."
When the two old people were pushed out, they were so anxious that they pleaded loudly, and they were so flustered that they didn't know what to do.
"Wait a minute."
Dongfang Jie stopped in a loud voice and came to the two old people. When the two arresters saw that it was him, they each retreated. Dongfang Jie asked kindly:
"Two old people, are you here for something? Or do you know the deceased?"
"My lord, we just wanted to come and see, because our granddaughter said the day before yesterday that he was going to offer incense to her dead parents, but she hasn't come back yet."
Seeing that Dongfang Jie's tone was kind, the old man hurriedly grabbed his sleeve.
"Two old people, please come with me."
When Dongfang Jie heard the words, he hurriedly led the two of them into the ruined temple. When the two old men saw the deceased, they burst into tears.
"Oh my God! It's really Yun'er! I made that dress for Yuner to wear every stitch! Yuner, my good granddaughter..."
The old woman burst into tears with excitement. After seeing the tragic condition of her granddaughter, she fell down on her wife and couldn't bear the blow at all.
"It turned out to be Lao Lao's granddaughter. It's really pitiful. I heard that Sun Yun'er was a little beauty. I didn't expect such a tragic death at a young age. This is what the two old people will do in the future..."
Someone in the crowd recognized the identities of the two old men, and the whispering voices rose and fell one after another.
"Father, are you sure this girl is really your granddaughter?" Dongfang Jie asked.
The old man's eyes were red, and he comforted his wife in his arms. He couldn't bear to look at his granddaughter's corpse again, and said choked:
"That's right. The shirt Yun'er is wearing was sewed by my wife. If you don't believe me, you can take a look. Yun'er has a red mole on her right palm."
Dongfang Jie bent over, grabbed the right hand of the corpse on the ground, turned his palm and saw that there was a red mole. It seemed that the deceased was really Sun Yuner.
"I also ask the two elderly people to mourn. We will find the murderer as soon as possible, bring the murderer to justice, and give you an explanation."
Dongfangjie looked dignified and made a promise.
"Young Master Long, Brother Dongfang, we must go back to the yamen first and leave first."
Zheng Zhaotou ordered someone to cover the corpse with a white cloth, and then use a stretcher to carry the corpse back to the yamen first. The two old men cried bitterly and followed behind. After the crowd had all dispersed, only Dongfang Jie and Long Haotian were left in the ruined temple.
"How do you plan to handle this case?"
Long Haotian Jun had a serious face, vaguely aware that things were definitely not simple, maybe this was just the beginning.
"There's no case for Yueyue yet. I'll stay here to continue the investigation, Young Master Long, why did he appear here so coincidentally?"
"It's not a coincidence. I have something important to leave first, and I happened to pass by this."
"If that's the case, please forgive me."
Dongfangjie chased people around in a roundabout way. This haunted man, it is better to leave as soon as possible.
"Why, in a hurry to drive me away? Don't forget the agreement between us, the county master will trouble you to take care of it."
Long Haotian stared at him with a smile; the more he wanted to pay the moon to him, the more he refused to let him get his wish, who asked him to arouse his interest.
"I'm afraid that the murderer will be tracked down here. I really can't accompany the princess, why not..."
"I believe that you will protect the county master well. I will trouble you. This king will come to you again."
Long Haotian interrupted him and didn't give him a chance to refuse. He gave him a thoughtful look, turned around and left with Liu Yong.
Dongfangjie stared at his leaving back, and could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
Outside the gate of Longfenglou, stood a beautiful woman in a yellow shirt and skirt, but seeing her arms crossed her chest, she stared angrily at the crowded streets.
"Miss, I don't know if Dongfang Jie will come back, so when will we wait?"
Xiaolan asked the master beside her. The county master came in a hurry early in the morning, but he didn't expect it to be empty; they have been the door gods at this gate for an hour, and they thought that Dongfangjie would not come back.
"I do not know either."
Long Qianqi angrily stomped on the spot. Dongfang Jie doesn't seem like the kind of person who doesn't keep his word. If he really doesn't come back, she really doesn't know where to find someone.
"Miss, he's back! Dongfangjie is back!"
Xiaolan happily pointed to the stubborn figure walking in front of her.
"Dongfangjie, where have you gone? You're finally back!"
Long Qianqi angrily stepped forward and questioned. She has never waited for anyone else. She never thought that this wait would be an hour. If she hadn't had a deep affection for him, she would have left long ago.
"The county lord, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you. There is a fatal case here, and the murderer has not yet been caught. For the county lord's safety, it is safer to ask the county lord to return to the palace as soon as possible."
Dongfang Jie briefly stated the murder case, hoping that the unruly county master would be frightened and leave as soon as possible.
"It's abominable! How can there be such cruel people in this world. I don't care! I won't go back, I must see with my own eyes, what the hell is that person who has lost his conscience, and he would do this to a girl's house. Poison hand."
After Long Qianqi heard it, he was filled with righteous indignation. Not only was he not frightened, but he was more determined to stay.
Dongfang Jie did not expect her reaction to be like this, so she could only sigh in her heart, it seemed that she had to keep the princess by her side.
"Okay, since the county master has decided to run around with me, don't call me bitter."
"I see. I promise to obey you and not cause you trouble."
Long Qianqi smiled happily, took the initiative to hook his arm, and said flatteringly.
The eldest brother came to look for her last night. He thought that the eldest brother was here to capture her and bring her back. Unexpectedly, the eldest brother agreed to let her stay, on the premise of Dongfangjie's protection. Since the eldest brother has agreed, of course she can rest assured to play enough.
"Master, don't forget what you said now."
Dongfang Jie smiled bitterly. After leaving a troublesome elder brother and leaving behind a troublesome younger sister, this pair of siblings really entangled her.
"As soon as you say it, the horse is hard to follow. Now accompany me to breakfast, and then I will listen to you."
Long Qianqi did not allow him to refuse, and dragged him into the Longfeng Building behind him; Dongfang Jie could only help her.
