He turned to look at Liuyun slightly surprised and asked, "Why are you here?"
The calm tone made it impossible for Liuyun to hear Zhongli's current mood.
In fact, she was very worried about being punished this time.
After all, after the Demon God War ended, immortals like them slowly faded out of the sight of the world.
Although she had been allowed to come to Liyue Port before, after following the emperor for many years, she knew that the emperor did not like to be disturbed.
It's just that she had a reason to come today.
On the other side, Zhong Li naturally knew Liu Yun's character. After asking, he said directly: "Just tell me, you usually don't come to me. Is something wrong?"
"That's right." Liu Yun shook his head in embarrassment and said, "I wonder if the emperor knows where Ouyang is?"
"I know, but now is his critical moment. I can't tell you where he is."
Um?
Liu Yun didn't expect that the emperor would stop talking so directly that she wouldn't know how to speak the rest of her words.
But thinking about his little apprentice, Liu Yun still bit the bullet and begged: "Emperor Mingjian, it's not me who is looking for Ouyang, it's my apprentice Shen He. She hasn't seen Ouyang these days, so she has no choice but to come to me."
Coming."
It's her.
Zhongli understood.
He lowered his head and thought for a while, then waved his hand to summon a letter. After writing it with his divine power, he handed the letter to Liu Yun.
"Since it's her, I can't hide it. I'll give this letter to her. As for what she will do, it's up to her to decide."
"Okay." Liu Yun curiously took the envelope and was about to say goodbye when he was stopped by Zhong Li's words.
Zhongli looked serious and said, "I know your character, so remember, everything about Ouyang has nothing to do with you and you."
"So don't be too smart to explore, got it?"
"I know." A drop of cold sweat flowed down Liuyun's forehead happily, and she quickly agreed.
After saying goodbye, Liuyun was flying in the sky, thinking of the letter he got, and felt extremely entangled in his heart.
Zhongli's warning still had an effect.
She was naturally very curious about the content of the letter, and originally wanted to wait until Shen He read it before asking.
But now it seems that this cannot be done.
But her extremely strong curiosity was like a feather gently crossing her heart, making her very itchy and confused.
But the emperor's warning still rang in her ears, forcing her to give up her exploration.
On the other side, in Wangshu Inn, the shopkeeper Huaian was hiding in a quiet guest room, thinking hard about countermeasures.
What troubled Huaian was an order.
To be precise, there are three almost identical orders.
Liyue's Tianquan star condensed, Yuheng's star carved clear, and "General Secretary" Gan Yu used similar words to order him to find Ouyang's location as soon as possible.
If it were in the past, Huai'an might be so excited that he wanted to do something big - this is how highly the three top officials in Liyue valued him!
But now, he is as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, wishing he had not been born in this world.
The news that Ouyang is back has been confirmed.
Because Xue Lian and Shen He appeared in the inn, and he had personally visited them before to inquire, there was no doubt about this.
But where did Tianshu Star Ouyang go?
No one knows.
Although it is doubtful that even Ouyang's closest person, Shen He, does not know about it, it is obviously not a reason to conduct further inquiries.
After all, Ouyang is also a Tianshu star, and he treats Tianshu star's family the same way he treats prisoners. He is not so bold.
So things just came to a standstill.
Originally, he was able to report the truth truthfully. After all, if nothing was found, nothing was found. Intelligence work can never go smoothly.
But the subtlety of the matter lies in the fact that the order for this investigation was issued by the top authority department in Liyue, which made him unsure of what was going on here.
There are some rat traps.
This is the source of his anxiety.
Knock knock knock——
At this time, there was a knock on the door of the guest room, and a waiter said anxiously: "Honor, it's not good. Lord Keqing sent someone to deliver a message, saying that he will arrive at the inn in half an hour.
!”
Oops!!!
Huai'an opened his eyes in horror.
He quickly stood up and opened the door, looked at the servant and confirmed again: "Are you sure? Where is the person who sent the message?"
"It's just below, but now I should go back after delivering the order. Shopkeeper, you'd better make arrangements as soon as possible."
After saying that, the boy went back to his work.
Huai'an was stunned on the spot, with cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.
He is now basically certain that Yu Hengxing's coming here must be related to looking for Ouyang!
But now he really doesn't know the news about Ouyang.
Huai'an, whose mind was in turmoil, could only force himself to calm down and prepare to welcome Keqing's arrival.
I won’t go into details about the reception, and the perspective goes to Shen He’s guest room.
Today, Xue Lian rarely went to spend time with her children, but stayed with Shen He, chatting with her to relieve her boredom.
"I think you should rest assured. Your master is an immortal! He will definitely be able to help you find out where the master of the family is."
When Shen He heard this, he touched his earrings and remained silent.
This time, unlike Dao's wife before, she was away for a longer period of time, and the earrings Ouyang left for her to contact her could no longer be used to contact Ouyang.
She has a rough idea of Ouyang's specific strength.
Logically speaking, there should be no one in Liyue who can keep him.
But due to those experiences she didn't want to mention when she was a child, she still has a strong fear of such a separation.
That's why she anxiously ran to Mount Aozang to find her master, hoping for help.
In the room, Xue Lian looked at Shen He and understood that she couldn't persuade him anymore.
He sighed helplessly in his heart, and when he was about to say something else to divert Shen He's attention, he suddenly heard noisy footsteps coming from outside.
Knock knock knock——
There was a knock on the door.
The two of them looked at the door in confusion, and heard a female voice coming from outside the door.
"Shen He? I'm Keqing, and I have something to do with you."
It's sunny?
Shen He and Shen He looked at each other, both a little surprised.
However, Shen He still stepped forward and opened the door.
There were some soldiers standing outside the house, and the manager of Wangshu Inn was also standing next to Keqing.
When he saw Shen He opening the door, he apologized cautiously: "I'm sorry, Miss Shen He. I also suddenly received news of Lord Keqing's visit, so I couldn't inform you in advance."
Shen He said nothing, took half a step back, and let Ke Qing in.
Crunch——
Looking at the closed door, Huaian, who had been worried all this time, finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he was secretly glad that at least the situation was not as bad as he thought before.
Thinking of some misunderstandings during the reception, Huaian's heart gradually calmed down, and at the same time, he couldn't help but blush.
Inside the house, Xue Lian, who has a delicate heart, originally wanted to receive Ke Qing on behalf of Shen He.
But soon the smile on her face became a little unnatural.
She knew about the "love and hate" between her family head and Ke Qing and Ning Guang in Liyue Port.
Now, looking at Keqing's dusty appearance, Xue Lian knew in her heart that the other party must be looking for Ouyang.
So, after she understood it, she didn't know how to deal with it.
Fortunately, Keqing's mentality is very stable.
She took off the cloak she had worn when riding on horseback and hung it by the door.
When he turned around and saw Xue Lian there, he smiled and said, "Xue Lian is here too. That's just right. I have something urgent to do with Ouyang. Can you tell me where he is?"
"It's official business."
When Xue Lian heard Ke Qing's final emphasis, the smile on her face became stiffer.
But she couldn't answer this situation, so she turned her attention to Shen He.
"I can't contact him." Shen He's voice was very low, but Ke Qing heard it clearly.
She wanted to ask again, but looking at Shen He's expression, it seemed that things were not simple?
At this moment, there was a sound of flapping wings outside the window, and it was Liu Yun who was back.
Shen He didn't even wait for the master to stop, and quickly asked: "Master, how are you? Is there any news?"
"Master." Liu Yun looked at the situation in the room, gave up explaining, and said directly, "Forget it, you better see for yourself."
After saying that, he handed over Zhongli's letter.
Shen He took it and opened the letter eagerly without calling his master.
Xue Lian, who also cared about the head of the family, took two steps forward upon seeing this, wanting to wait for Shen He to finish reading and ask if she could also take a look.
But before she could reach Shen He, she suddenly felt a soft breeze blocking her.
Liu Yun looked at Xue Lian and said with neither happiness nor anger, "The person who wrote the letter said that this letter can only be read by Shen He alone, so you better not get close."
"Okay then" Xue Lian nodded.
Although she felt disappointed, since Shen He could only watch it, she had no choice but to go back and sit down.
The room just became quiet.
Soon, Shen He read the contents of the letter and his face became anxious.
Zhongli did not tell Ouyang what exactly he wanted to do in his letter, but he also told the truth about Ouyang's current strange state.
The reason why he wrote this letter was because he considered that Shen He was Ouyang's wife. In the current dangerous situation where Ouyang's soul and body were divided, he did not dare not let Shen He go to see Ouyang's possible "
The last one".
So after reading the contents of the letter, Shen He naturally didn't look too good.
Before she could say anything, Ke Qing, who had been waiting for a while, stepped forward and asked, "Shen He, did the letter say where Ouyang is now?"
"I really need to consult Ouyang on some official matters. There are many things that I can no longer support alone."
Shen He, who looked a little pale, looked at Ke Qing, nodded slowly and admitted, "Well, the letter mentioned Ouyang's location."
"Where is that?"
"I'm sorry, the letter said that Ouyang is in a special situation now, and I am only allowed to visit because I am his wife."
After Shen He finished speaking apologetically, he nodded to Xue Lian, Ke Qing, and the master, then activated the magic power in his hand to activate the seal on the letter.
A golden ray of light instantly enveloped Shen He, and then flew out of the window, straight into the sky, and disappeared.
In the guest room, Ke Qing looked at the bits of golden light spilling out, her eyes lowered to cover up the sadness in her eyes.
