In recent days, the weather in the South China Sea has been not very good.
Tonight is even more dark and windy, and the wind is mixed with water vapor, making people feel a slight chill.
At the third watch, even the bustling streets of Kyoto are empty of pedestrians.
At this time, in the attic of a higher residential building in the east gate of Kyoto, a pair of falcon-like eyes were quietly watching the city gate and the street below.
"Husband... take a break, I'll keep an eye on you for a while."
Hearing a pleasant voice from behind, Nangong Wenjian turned his head and smiled softly at Mo Qingyan.
"It doesn't matter...I'm not old yet, hahaha..."
As he spoke, he moved slightly and leaned against a wall.
Mo Qingyan took two steps forward and took over Nangong Wenjian's position.
But he said angrily: "You, you are always worried. The people below will naturally report to us if they find something strange. You have to keep an eye on it yourself."
"Hey~" Nangong Wenjian shook his head: "There must be no mistakes in what that kid Yan Xi ordered."
"As elders, we naturally have to worry more."
Hearing what he said, Mo Qingyan turned around and said with a smile: "It seems that you are still very satisfied with this son-in-law."
"Look at his playboy look. I'm even worried that Xueer will suffer a loss if he marries him."
Nangong Wenjian stroked his beard indifferently: "It doesn't matter... I still have you..."
"Ah? What?"
Mo Qingyan was stunned for a moment, thinking she had heard wrongly, and turned her head in confusion.
Just as he was about to say something, Nangong Wenjian behind him spoke first: "Xiaoyan, after so many years, it's time for you to think about your future."
"You've been a fake wife for so many years to a rotten old man like me, who is buried up to his neck in dirt. You can't be the one to stay for the rest of your life, right?"
"This child, Yan Xi, is worth trusting. You two have been engaged for a long time."
As he spoke, he sighed and turned to look at the dark night sky, with endless longing in his cloudy eyes.
Feeling relieved, he said, "In this way, I can go to see your father, mother, and your aunt with peace of mind."
"No!" Mo Qingyan frowned and turned to stare at Nangong Wenjian.
There were tears in her beautiful eyes: "You are my husband, and I am your wife, for the rest of my life!"
"I don't need others to take care of me. You...do you think I'm a burden?"
"Silly boy..." Nangong Wenjian smiled softly, but the eyes he looked at her were as pure as light.
The expressions of the elders doting on the younger ones are all there: "Back then, I promised my eldest brother, sister-in-law, and your aunt that I would take good care of you. Why would I think you are a burden?"
"But I am your uncle and your master after all, and I will never do anything to disgrace your father or your aunt."
Nangong Wenjian paused and repeated his tone, with a hint of comfort in his words: "Back then, I risked my life to rescue you, taught you martial arts, and raised you to adulthood."
"This is what you should do as an uncle, as a master, and even as an elder."
"And for so many years, for the sake of my reputation and the reputation of the Qinglian Sword Sect, you have not hesitated to destroy your reputation and have been a fake couple with me for so many years."
"We...we don't owe anyone anything, so you don't have to feel guilty."
"In a few days, I will explain the situation to Ruoxue and Yanxi. They are both good children, and they will naturally understand the right and wrong."
"After you are settled, I can go and accompany mother and son with peace of mind..."
"You...you are not allowed to talk nonsense!"
Seeing Nangong Wenjian's relieved expression, Mo Qingyan suddenly became anxious: "Shut up! What you said is wrong!"
"I...I'm not going anywhere. I will stay with you until you grow old. You never want to leave me..."
Seeing her angry little girl look, Nangong Wenjian could only helplessly shake his head.
He hurriedly comforted: "Okay, okay... let's not talk about it now, we will discuss this later..."
Unexpectedly, Mo Qingyan still refused to give up and said angrily: "We will discuss it later, if we don't discuss it, we won't discuss it at any time!"
Seeing this, Nangong Wenjian smiled and was about to say something, when suddenly there was movement below.
The two people looked at each other for a moment, then hurriedly lay down and observed quietly.
At this time, Feng Quan, the chief steward of Feng Mansion, was racing with all kinds of magical beasts and alpacas. This Yan envoy was really too difficult to serve.
Arrogant and arrogant, the most important thing is that he is not polite at all.
After all, he is also the chief steward of Ning Guogong and the liaison person for this cooperation.
I traveled across mountains and rivers to meet him in the middle of the night. This guy didn't even miss his face. Even now, I still don't know what he looks like.
Originally, this kind of thing needed to be done secretly. In order not to attract attention, Feng Quan prepared a small blue cloth sedan in advance.
Who would have thought that just this move would make this gentleman very unhappy, blaming himself for not treating guests well.
If the matter hadn't been so important and he was needed to deliver bilateral news, Feng Quan would have really wanted to drag him out and give him a good beating.
Using a specific code, he quietly opened the east gate of Kyoto, and Feng Quan led the small sedan in quietly.
Behind the city gate, Wang Xiao had already made preparations, but in order not to attract other people's attention, he did not send any soldiers to escort him.
The main reason is that the housekeeper's sealing skills are not weak, and the dozens of guards he brings with him are also mediocre.
The envoy from Yan State was also accompanied by two masters.
In this Kyoto, nature is foolproof.
Twenty people in a small sedan walked silently on the dark streets.
Feng Quan finally relieved most of his worries along the way, and he saw Feng Mansion just ahead.
This time, the journey went very smoothly, half an hour ahead of schedule.
However, I don't know why, but everything went fine along the way, but while walking on the streets of Kyoto, Feng Quan's heart started to panic inexplicably.
I took a deep breath, thinking that maybe I was excited because I was about to reach my destination...
Just as he was comforting himself in his head, a figure suddenly appeared at the end of the road ahead.
Everyone was stunned, and their footsteps stopped instantly. They saw the man wearing black clothes and covering his face, holding a long sword in his hand.
Just standing there, his momentum already made everyone feel palpitated.
Feng Ji swallowed his saliva, bravely took two steps forward, and shouted softly to the black figure in front of him: "This strong man..."
"The old man at home is feeling unwell. Could you please excuse me and let me wait to find the doctor?"
However, after these words were spoken, the man did not speak to him.
When Feng Quan saw this, he was about to say something else, but he saw the man suddenly took steps and walked slowly towards him.
And the pace is obviously getting faster and faster.
Everyone was at a loss for a moment and subconsciously took two steps back. Feng Quan subconsciously turned around and was instantly shocked.
I saw a man in black standing on the originally empty street behind him.
Judging from the momentum of that man, although he is not as powerful as the man in front of him, he is definitely a master.
Also walk quickly towards your side.
Feng Quan secretly screamed something bad, and shouted to the servant beside him: "Send the signal quickly, there are assassins..."
The servant then realized what he was doing and quickly took out the strange whistle from his pocket, put it in his mouth and was about to blow it.
Suddenly, a plum blossom dart came from the darkness, and the whistler died without even making a sound.
Immediately afterwards, another hidden weapon was shot out from the darkness, and everyone swung their swords to block it.
However, the person hiding in the darkness should be a master of hidden weapons, and the various hidden weapons he fires are very powerful.
After just one meeting, eight or nine people from my side were already there.
Seeing this, Feng Quan made an immediate decision and shouted: "Go back and retreat to the east gate!"
This decision was made mainly because the man in black behind him felt relatively weak and easier to deal with than the man in front.
As for the east gate, his own direct line was guarding it. There were so many officers and soldiers that these men in black naturally did not dare to cause trouble.
In addition, running towards the east gate instead of sealing the mansion is also to break away from the relationship with his master.
Even if the matter was leaked, Feng Quan could still deny it and just blame the matter on himself. They had no evidence to attack Duke Ning's mansion.
However, as soon as these words were spoken, the two people were already approaching.
The two guards of the Yan State envoy took action instantly, and the two men fought together.
At the same time, two teams of black-clad guards suddenly rushed out of the dark alleys on both sides. The leader was Qin Ge, the commander-in-chief.
Behind him were two old men and a beautiful woman holding an umbrella.
Feng Quan was heartbroken, knowing that this matter had been completely leaked.
We had no choice but to rely on shouting and calling the nearby patrol camp to come and muddy the water in the pond.
Then find a way to notify Feng Yucheng and others.
