The sky is light blue, the stars are dim, and the eastern sky is filled with white light.
Xia Zhaoyi and Shen Lie came back from Du Guangfang. Xia Zhaoyi was holding the letter and Shen Lie was holding the picture of Xinghe Sword.
As she walked, Xia Zhaoyi raised her head and looked at the dim lights in front of her.
"Shen Lie, we're here." Xia Zhaoyi said softly.
"I will sleep well today. I will not get out of bed unless necessary." Shen Lie said softly.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at him sideways: "I still have to read the letter."
"Watch it in bed."
After saying that, Shen Lie looked at the little bundle in her arms and said, "You have limited mental capacity. If the affairs of these men in black have nothing to do with us, then there is no need to worry about it."
Xia Zhaoyi curled her lips slightly: "Shen Lie, why do people like to go to teahouses and theaters?"
Shen Lie paused for a moment and closed his eyebrows slightly: "I don't know, teahouses and theaters are always a bit noisy."
"That's right," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "You like to be quiet, but you always have your own preferences. People go to teahouses and theaters because they are bored and need entertainment. Some people like to play chess, and some like to play the piano. , and me," she held up the small bundle in her hand, "this is my pastime."
Shen Lie smiled lightly: "If you want to find someone to discuss, send someone to me at any time."
"good."
When he arrived at the back door of the restaurant, Shen Lie raised his hand and gently placed it on the girl's forehead.
Even after walking a long night road in the wind, her forehead was still hot.
"Ah Li, you really need to take a good rest." Shen Lie said in a low voice.
"But, there are a lot of dramas in these two days..."
"Ah Li." Shen Lie interrupted her softly.
Xia Zhaoyi looked at his quiet black eyes, which seemed to be filled with helplessness and doting.
After knowing her for so many years, Shen Lie never cared about her, but now, he seemed really unhappy.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand and touched his forehead.
Not only was her forehead hot, she had been sweating all night, and her back was a little sticky.
However, tonight was still very enjoyable and fruitful.
Even the keys that I thought didn’t need to be “icing on the cake” have already found a suitable place to “place” them.
"Don't just worry about me," Xia Zhaoyi smiled at Shen Lie, "You should also have a good rest after you go back. You must be tired after spending the whole night with me in and outside the palace tonight. It's hard work."
Shen Lie smiled elegantly and said seriously: "I really like to go out and have fun with you. It's hard work when you can't get it."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled and nodded. She carried the small bundle and pushed open the door. She wanted to look back at him, but she felt distracted and stopped looking.
Shen Lie watched her leave without looking back this time. She was still wearing the maid's uniform. When her back was bent, the maid's uniform made her look skinny and withered. As soon as she straightened her back, her temperament changed. She suddenly changed her mind and body, with slim and slender figure, slender shoulders and slender waist. Those gorgeous embroideries and the status-symbolizing black gauze flat hat on her head gave her temperament a touch of grace that she didn't usually have.
Shen Lie didn't turn around until she disappeared from sight.
In the backyard patio of the teahouse in front of the lamp, Ye Zheng was lying on the stone table with his head buried in his head.
Shen Lie frowned and went over to push him awake. As soon as he saw Shen Lie, Ye Zheng became busy: "Young Master."
Shen Lie said: "Why are you sleeping here?"
Ye Zheng thought for a while, then remembered, and said: "I was waiting for the young master to come back. I thought I would be able to come back after waiting for the young master, but I didn't expect..."
Ye Zheng raised his head and looked up at the sky, and the sun was shining.
"What are you waiting for me?" Shen Lie asked.
"The people sent to monitor Anrentang Pharmacy sent news that those Beiyuan bastards have left."
"Have our people followed?"
"Well, I followed the young master's instructions. By the way, they have more people than we thought. Including Kangshan Noodle House and Heping Mobu Fang, there are more than thirty people here."
Shen Lie said coldly: "We have to count the six people I killed and the people who escorted Tao Mao away."
"There must be at least fifty people! It's a big move."
Shen Lie said nothing, looking down at the lines on the stone table with thoughtful eyes.
"Master," Ye Zheng was curious, "what are you thinking about."
"Road map," Shen Lie said in a deep voice, "What are the routes they can take when they return to Beiyuan."
"That's really too much..."
"It depends on whether they are seeking speed or stability."
"It's also possible that they will act separately."
Shen Lie's dark eyes were slightly narrowed, his expression was deep and indifferent, and he said calmly: "How many of them count, I want to give He Yanpo a small gift."
Ye Zheng's eyes lit up: "Master, but their heads?"
"Yes." Shen Lie said.
He raised his hand and patted Ye Zheng's shoulder: "You go back to your room and sleep, I'll write a letter."
Xia Zhaoyi yawned and turned over the veil on his forehead.
She leaned on the soft pillow and looked down at the letter in her hand. She felt very sleepy, but the content in the letter became more and more "interesting".
The most interesting thing is the contact addresses of these people and the places they have visited, as well as the fact that most of their banknote stubs were purchased at Zhao Ning's Ning'an Bank.
Of course, Li Qian did not have a Ning'an bank, which increased the difficulty of Li Qian's trade with foreign countries.
Xia Zhaoyi yawned again, and tears welled up in the corners of Xia Zhaoyi's eyes.
She put away the letter, took off the kerchief from her forehead, hung it on the edge of the tub beside the bed, and lay down on the bed.
Just when I lay down, a huge headache suddenly came over me.
Xia Zhaoyi raised his hand and pinched his forehead, knowing that his illness was getting worse.
She still couldn't understand why she had a fever and where the injury on her back came from.
Thinking wildly, she gradually closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

A young palace maid walked quickly through the cold and silent palace corridors. When she arrived at Pingzhi Palace, she looked around and stepped forward.
The sun was shining brightly, and the young palace maid looked at the deserted palace garden, frowned, stretched her neck and walked in, not seeing a single person.
Just as she was walking all the way to the dormitory, a voice suddenly sounded across the sky: "Who is it?"
The young palace maid was startled, turned around quickly, and saw Aunt Yujing next to Concubine Mu. She quickly bowed her head and bowed her back: "I've seen Aunt Yujing!"
"I'm asking you, who are you?" Aunt Yujing looked at her coldly.
The young palace maid's voice became softer: "Slave, I'm here to see Princess Yangping. The princess asked me to take care of something before..."
"What's the matter?"
The young palace maid raised her head and looked at Aunt Yujing, and plucked up her courage and said, "The princess has an order not to tell anyone about this matter."
"If you don't say anything, I'll kill you with a stick." Aunt Yujing's voice was extremely cold.
The young palace maid was shocked: "Aunt Yujing, please don't embarrass me. If I say anything, the princess will kill me!"
Aunt Yujing's face became lonely, she raised her eyes towards Princess Yangping's bedroom, and said calmly: "She can't kill you anymore."
Concubine Mu was still mourning in the mourning hall of Queen Nangong and couldn't get away, so she was specially sent here.
