The Duke's Mansion of Weiguo.

Xiao Hei sat in the teahouse on the other side of the street and observed it for a while. He found that the mansion was not as lively as he imagined.

After Li Jing died of illness that year, Li Derjian was dragged and convicted and lost his future because he was too close to Li Chengqian. The Duke of Wei's mansion was so deserted. According to historical development, during the Tianbao period, it was taken away by Li Linfu and became a palace.

into the traitor's mansion.

But the arrival of Li Yan changed the fate of Li Jing's descendants. It seems that no one in the Tang Dynasty dared to do things that offended the gods. It can be said that they have become golden bodies.

However, Duke Wei's Mansion was not arrogant because of this. Compared with the popular Zhenwu Temple, this place was very low-key and not ostentatious, but it added a bit of mystery that could not be provoked.

Xiao Hei was quite satisfied and got up and went home.

For a long time, she lived in the Duke's mansion.

At that time, I was not fully enlightened. I watched Li Yan shoot arrows and train the eagle on the edge of the martial arts field. I slept next to him at night and felt the talent improvement of the animal friends.

So Xiao Hei walked through the front hall with ease, arrived at the back house, and came to the courtyard where Li Yan used to live.

There are not many servants here, but they have a somewhat secretive atmosphere, serving as guards.

"The elite inner defenders, the two teams change shifts..."

Xiao Hei nodded slightly and walked around easily, then suddenly stopped with a strange look on his face.

A lynx leaped over, with yellow and white fur, strong limbs, and a light body that seemed to be flying on the grass.

It was running around as if there was no one around, and was obviously used to strutting around in the spacious mansion. Suddenly, it found a strange figure in front of it, and it froze suddenly. It instinctively wanted to make a pounce and attack gesture, but it inexplicably did not dare.

.

Xiao Hei walked over slowly, reached out his hand, and touched the lynx's head: "Take me to see your master!"

The lynx whimpered, and finally lowered its head and flew towards the martial arts training ground.

Xiao Hei followed and saw a girl bending a bow and shooting arrows from a distance.

"Xiaobai! Watch carefully!"

When she heard the voice approaching, she shot out three arrows, hitting the bull's-eye. Then she turned around, revealing a face with bright eyes and white teeth, which was inferior to that of a peach and plum blossom.

Then he found the unfamiliar Xiao Hei and was also shocked.

However, her response was much more powerful. When she saw an outsider breaking into her home, she immediately reversed direction and shot an arrow without hesitation.

Whoosh!

Xiao Hei stretched out his hand, held the short arrow lightly in his palm, and nodded approvingly: "It's so powerful, not just a show-off!"

The girl had already retreated, but seeing the other party showing such strength, Xiao Bai next to her looked timid and whimpering, not even daring to attack. She rolled her eyes, but she took the initiative to stop and lightly

He coughed and said, "Last night, the Holy Lord had a dream and said that someone would enter the Duke's mansion. Was it you?"

Hearing the clear voice of the other party and the pretentious tone of confidence, Xiao Hei raised his eyebrows and half-smiled: "Really? Zhenwu Shengjun has arrived long ago and I will come?"

The girl raised her chin slightly: "Of course!"

Xiao Hei nodded: "In this case, I can't live up to the omen given by Zhenwu Shengjun!"

The girl was stunned.

This shouldn't be such a reaction...

Isn't the world in awe of her brother who has never met him but is so powerful? How come there is such a madman who is not afraid at all?

Seeing Xiao Hei walking over, fear finally appeared in her eyes, but she also knew that she would not be able to escape with her own skills. She could only force herself to stay calm and hope to force the opponent away with her eyes.

Xiao Hei came to the front, glanced at the girl's slightly trembling calves, and stopped teasing her: "What's your name?"

The girl pursed her lips and said, "Li Xianhui, also known as Qiongzhi."

"Xianhui...Qiongzhi...what a name!"

Xiao Hei praised: "My name is Xuanli, and I am your brother's... admirer."

The girl blinked her eyes.

Xiao Hei finally couldn't help but smile. He held the other person's tender white hand and patted it gently: "Don't be afraid! Don't be afraid! Zhenwu Saint Lord has great kindness to the world. He lives and works in peace and contentment today. He is also a saint of the Saint Lord Association today."

How can we be ungrateful and intend to do harm in the peaceful and prosperous age we have created?"

"But you can't take it lightly. There are many thieves in the world. If anyone takes the risk, the defense force in this mansion is not strong enough. I'm just here to remind you not to let the internal guards relax too much!"

The girl listened to her sincerity, her palms felt warm, and she finally relaxed a little. She blinked her bright eyes and said, "Sister, do you recognize my brother?"

This recognition is obviously different from ordinary people's recognition. The more accurate meaning is that it has been seen before.

But after asking, the girl felt something was wrong. This sister was so young, how could she have seen her brother who had left in heaven twenty years ago?

Xiao Hei smiled slightly and did not answer directly, but he gave the answer: "If your brother knows that you have grown so big, he will definitely be very pleased!"

At that time, Li Yan really hoped that he could have a younger brother or younger sister. His father, Li Derjian, was already over 70 years old at the time. Fortunately, it was still possible to have children at this age, and with the care of Sun Simiao's disciples, it would not be a problem.

The main reason is that Xie was only middle-aged when Li Yan left, and he was the only child. His son ascended to heaven and became a god, while his mother was left alone and helpless in old age.

In order to avoid this, Li Yan made arrangements before he decided to leave, hoping that Li Derjian and Xie could have another child to make up for the regrets in the rest of their lives.

And now this slim girl Li Xianhui, Xiao Hei felt the power of blood connection with Li Yan from her, and completely determined the identity of the other party.

Xiao Hei was very pleased.

Li Derjian and Mr. Xie are living well. They have a daughter, and a major task of this trip has been completed.

And Li Xianhui muttered in her heart: "This sister is so strange..."

At first, she thought that a gangster had sneaked into the Duke's mansion to kidnap her, and it was impossible not to be afraid. But then the other party started to talk to her, and he looked like a liar.

Not so much in the past few years, but I heard from Aye and her mother that in the early years, there were many bold people who came to seek marriage, with all kinds of excuses...

In the end, except for the Taoist priest Yuan Tiangang, who has not been exposed so far, all others who dared to pretend to be friends with the Holy Lord and defrauded them were thrown into jail and severely punished.

But after carefully looking at Xiao Hei, she felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy. She hesitated to speak, and finally said: "Sister, can you tell me about my brother? Will he come back? Mom didn't say it, but she still felt it in her heart.

I miss him so much..."

Xiao Hei sighed softly: "I'm afraid it will be difficult to come back. Please spend more time with your mother and fulfill your filial piety for your brother!"

Li Xianhui showed regret and nodded again: "I will!"

"Good boy!"

Xiao Hei originally wanted to chat for a while, but his ears twitched slightly, but he smiled and said: "Have you finally discovered it? It seems that the inner guard is not too lax, I will leave you a gift, and you will slowly discover it in the future!"

She glanced at the lynx named Xiaobai, flicked her fingers, and a flash of light penetrated the big cat's eyebrows, then she jumped up and flew out of the courtyard.

Compared with the silence when he got up, the noise of his departure was louder, even without any concealment.

"Protect the Duke and his wife! Protect the Seventh Lady! Catch the thief...quickly!!"

The inner guards were really frightened out of their wits, and no longer tried to hide it, they all surrounded him.

After years of rotation, guarding the Duke's Mansion can be said to be the easiest task. Even those with ambitions are reluctant to guard here because there is no chance of meritorious service.

After years of calm, it was inevitable for everyone to relax. I never expected that today, someone would actually enter the inner house without anyone noticing!

If something happens to Duke Wei's family, they will not be able to escape the blame even if they die!

Compared to the inner guard who was anxious, Xiao Hei put his hands behind his back and came and went like a ghost, not in a hurry to leave.

Her purpose of visiting Li Derjian's family was achieved, and the next step was to make a big fuss and attract the attention of the capital's guards.

When Li Derjian, Xie and Li Xianhui were all moved away under the protection of the internal guards, Xiao Hei was still active in the house, looking ahead and suddenly behind, appearing and disappearing.

This provocation made the official who came the fastest to be very angry, and issued an order with a livid face: "The four departments of the inner guard, the sixteen guards of Nanya, the officials of Wuhou, the Zhenwu Taoist Temple, and wherever manpower can be mobilized, mobilize people as soon as possible."

!This audacious thief must be captured!"

Soon not to mention Duke Wei's palace, half of Chang'an city was alarmed.

The people were shocked to find that the police officers and yamen who used to maintain order in various cities and towns only had a minimum number of people left, and the rest moved towards Pingkangfang to surround them.

The weak government officers guarded the important pass, and the powerful elite formed a small team to gradually tighten the encirclement. Then, based on the underground map drawn by the internal guards, they eliminated all secret passage exits and laid out a dragnet!

"This is too big a fuss!"

Witnessing this scene, Puaduli, who was also wandering outside Pingkangfang, expressed concern.

There is no doubt that the strategy of diverting the tiger away from the mountain was successful, but it seemed too successful.

Such a fierce reaction proved how much power the person left behind. Twenty years later, he is still remembered by people...

Yang Zaiwei, whose martial arts has reached the realm of enlightenment, has to admit: "These men are not enough to surround me at night, but in broad daylight, it is difficult to break out of such an encirclement!"

General Abu said coldly: "Don't you regret it and go to save people?"

There was a strange look in Yang Zaiwei's eyes. He had never told anyone else that when he met Xiao Hei for the first time, he felt a vague sense of familiarity with his sixth sense, and only then did he gain subsequent trust.

There is no need to explain these to Da Shi Ren, as long as you trust the other party: "Since she has done this, she is sure of getting out of trouble. We will act according to the plan and go to Honglu Temple to confront the Da Shi envoys!"

"Walk!"

Just as the three of them were approaching the imperial city, Xiao Hei finally ended his hide and seek.

Leave through the gate leisurely.
