Chapter 27
"So, that's why you're sure you've been misled?" Duan Xuehuai couldn't see the expression in his dark eyes as he lowered his head and played with a paperweight.
He just relaxed a little during this period of time, but in the end he was stabbed so big on the site.The hooked lips smiled lightly, but the eyes were bottomless - it seems that the other party's hand is really stretched too long!
Duan Shuangming stood by the window with his hands behind his back, and did not participate in these conversations. He looked up at the crabapple flowers that were about to wither outside the window, showing no emotion.
"Yes, because it was too concealed, the subordinate was blinded for a while." The woman still lowered her head and said solemnly.
Looking up at her, the waves in Duan Xuehuai's eyes seemed to be frozen, there was no wave at all, but the flame in his heart was getting higher and higher, he sneered in his heart - it seems that that person really grasped their lifeblood , know how to make the best use of the situation, and use each person's personality weakness to give targeted planning.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhixia seemed careless, but careful and likes to think over and over again, the other party would not have let her fall into the trap so easily.
And she would not choose to investigate quietly in secret, giving the other party an opportunity...
"This subordinate accepts the punishment voluntarily, and I hope that the master will give me another chance so that this subordinate can take the blame and make meritorious service." Zhixia raised her head and looked at Duan Xuehuai with burning eyes.
There were eager expectations and regret hidden in her eyes, it seemed that she really hoped to make up for this mistake, right?
However, Duan Xuehuai did not entrust her with the task of finding Shen Changling, but instead gave her other tasks: "Next, you should contact the heads of the various ministries to deal with the hidden piles of Pingtian before. Don't use too much force." , but the scope must be wide, and it must make the other party overwhelmed..."
"I will let Xingchun act with you, and the specific layout will be discussed later."
Zhixia's eyes were a little disappointed, she bowed her head to salute, and after she answered, her eyes dimmed as Duan Xuehuai kept her head down and said nothing.
She got up, her light green clothes rippled like lake water, bowed respectfully to the two of them, then bent back a few steps, then opened the door dignifiedly and left.
Standing by the window, Duan Shuangming could just see Zhixia's back.She raised her head, even if she made a mistake, her waist was still standing straight, just like the other party's always arrogant and unyielding personality, Duan Shuangming sighed inwardly - yes, otherwise she wouldn't like the same arrogant Duan Xuehuai.
But Duan Shuangming saw a little bit of disappointment from her back. It was a kind of loss that had been paid unilaterally for a long time but never received a response, right?
"It seems that sending her out for a while is the right choice." When the house became empty again, Duan Shuangming said flatly.
"Her emotions have already affected her daily work. Instead of choosing to track down the source and report such a big matter, she actually followed the other party's wishes to secretly investigate..." Duan Xuehuai had a slightly angry look on his face, and he snorted coldly Slamming Jing Mo's fist on the table viciously, even the cup and pen holder vibrated.
On weekdays, he didn't have much contact with Zhixia, and he never gave her any special hints, and he only found out that the other party was interested in him recently-nothing, the affairs in the palace these years have been complicated, and most of them were caused by He dispatches on the surface.He usually stays in Liucang Palace to deal with affairs, and looking for an opportunity to recover, he has no intention of paying attention to other things.
However, Shuang Ming smiled, with a rare bit of teasing in his smile, he clapped his hands and sighed, "Do you know that your current behavior is very much like a kind of person—oh yes, it seems to be what Chang Ling once said , scumbag, hahahaha!"
Duan Shuangming laughed loudly, but the corners of his mouth flattened unconsciously.
Silence spread in the room, looking at Duan Xuehuai who had been unable to let go, Duan Shuangming smiled dumbly, sighed and stopped speaking.
The current situation has not reached the point where it cannot be saved, the other party's arrest is not to hurt him, on the contrary, they will probably try their best to obtain the secrets of Shen Changling at this moment, and this time should not be short.
However, Duan Shuangming looked at the crabapple tree in the courtyard, the pink and white petals were fluttering, and it was about to fall...
The other party's secret, even he himself doesn't know, how can he tell it?
I am afraid that in the end, even if they exhaust all means, they will not be able to achieve their goals. They will use the most drastic methods to achieve their goals, right?by that time……
The fingers clenched unconsciously, and the emotions in his heart were overwhelmed. Such a strong force even left deep marks on the window lattice - that was a reaction that was extremely out of control but extremely restrained.
"However, I let their anbu fire everywhere, so that when the other party is exhausted, it should be able to delay for a while..." Frowning and sighing deeply, this is the only way Duan Xuehuai can think of now.
"Leave the other things to us. The fourth child should have his own ideas, and he has always disliked these things. Thank God for being able to agree to help..." Putting down his worries, Duan Shuangming recalled his seemingly indifferent The fourth brother who was about to ascend to immortality was speechless.
That guy has a very high talent for organ spells, like the mechanical bird that can send messages in extremely harsh environments—the kind he used to send messages to him before—is from the hand of the fourth child.
And when Liushuang was first created, it was also under the guidance of the fourth child that it became more excellent in spiritual power control and shape transformation, making it a high-level spiritual weapon.
But... Thinking of the other party's indifferent eyes, and his white hair that is different from ordinary people, Duan Shuangming said silently: After the sudden change, the person's heart may have died...
The mental state is traumatized and unable to break through for life. For the fourth child who has always wanted to explore the secrets and man-made causes and effects, this kind of encounter is probably the legendary destiny that cannot be violated, right?
He was silent, thinking of his fourth brother who had a rough life, the depression in his heart was beyond words.
However, another thought changed, he thought of all the brothers in Litian Palace, and the feeling of being played by fate came to his mind again.
"Ah..." After shouting loudly towards the courtyard, Duan Shuangming turned over and stepped on the ground a few times with force, then came to the high place of the eaves, took out the long flute, and played a piece of wind and rain .
There were poets in ancient times who used scenery to express their emotions, but he could only silently express his inner distress...
Duan Xuehuai in the house saw his actions, sighed deeply, and started working again.
------------
After a long day of trekking, one person finally came to the No.12 Palace—Evening Moon Palace.
As a palace located on the northeast side, it is undoubtedly very cold here. There are only evergreen trees dotted with a little green in the yard, while other trees have long since withered.
The person who came pushed open the door hidden in the depths, ignoring the astonishment of the servants who came and went and hurriedly bowed to salute, but waved silently to push everyone away, and entered this forbidden place.
Surprised sighs and glances were carefully conveyed among the crowd, and everyone sighed in their hearts: The Fourth Young Master, who has never cared about world affairs, has returned...
And when they thought that Muyue Palace's specialty was about astrology and astrology, everyone couldn't help but be amazed for a moment—could something major have happened?To be able to let the fourth son who has been away from Litian Palace for many years come back to preside over the overall situation?
"Okay, you are also senior old people, don't gossip here in private, go back and do what you should do." A majestic male voice sounded from behind, and everyone stopped communicating immediately, trembling. After bowing and saluting, the restrained expressions retreated one after another.
That person was wearing a high-end uniform, with only traces of plum blossoms on the corners of the clothes. His face looked ordinary, but there was a hidden light in his eyes—it was actually Xi Dong, who was in charge of the Winter Palace!
"I hope the Fourth Young Master can find out something..." Xi Dong frowned and muttered to himself knowing the other party's strength in spells.
He had been dealing with things in the first house before, and only vaguely learned some information, but these have already surprised him.
But this time, some news from the deep palace forbidden area shocked him again.
"I hope the master can return safely this time..." He took a deep breath, and after strengthening the restrictions around him, he lifted his feet and walked out.
No matter what happens, Li Tiangong can't be messed up, he also needs to finish his work...
Walking into the altar, the huge star array shone coldly in the dark, and silver dark lines circulated around it, flickering under the impetus of the array technique.
Those who have a deep understanding of the stars will be surprised to find that this is actually a brand new star movement deduced from the orbit of the stars in the sky. It does not belong to any existing star arrangement, but it is faintly consistent with it. Contains secrets...
The visitor looked up at the top of his head, where there was a dome made of large pieces of transparent colored glass.When night falls, countless densely packed bright stars will be reflected in people's eyes through the dome.
"You're back, just in time, the star array is about to start..." In the empty altar, a whisper suddenly sounded.
However, the person who came was not surprised. He quietly observed the trajectory of the stars above his head. His long white hair was windless around his waist, and his fingers were counting repeatedly by his side. The circulation is enough to penetrate any unsuspecting ordinary person!
"I'm just fulfilling my obligation. I hope you didn't do wasted work this time." After saying these words indifferently, the visitor turned his eyes to the depths of the stone platform for the first time, and there was a faint person sitting there.
The glazed mirror that gathers light around him gathers bright white cold light on the side of his face. The floating light is as indifferent as a fairyland, and the indifferent amber eyes and long white hair of that person are vaguely illuminated——this person is obviously from a distance. The fourth son of Tiangong, Duan Yunchao.
"The result of all this will be the ultimate that can be achieved by manpower, we just need to wait for the final answer..." The man in the dark said calmly, his tone was low and deep, with the breath of an endless superior .
"Oh, when will you say such a thing? This kind of words that seem to leave everything to fate..." Duan Yunchao chuckled, his indescribable loneliness was still mocking.
His eyes became as deep as midnight, and he looked up at the sky again without saying a word.
