When Ji Ping'an walked out of the restaurant, it was getting late, and the sunset hung in the sky, reflecting the red face under the hat.

But compared to the spirit of showing off with Huang Dust in the afternoon, his face was more thoughtful at this moment.

And when he stepped on the twilight and returned to the Qinglian Small Building, he saw Huang He hanging lanterns under the eaves of the house.

"Young Master, you are back."

"Well, is there any movement in the prison?"

Huang He nodded seriously and reported: "There are two more important things. First, Bai Jianhou went to visit Huang Jianhou in the afternoon, but he was unable to meet for the reason. Second, the Huoyuan Fang Jianhou has taken action."

Ji Ping'an lay in the rattan chair, smiled and said, "The movement is quite fast. Let's wait for the result next."

...

At night, the Jinyuan Tea Room.

"Jianghou, the news has been found out." When Pei Sili stepped upstairs and pushed open the door of the tea room, he saw Li Guofeng sitting cross-legged.

There was no light in the room, and the moonlight came from the open window. Li Guofeng did not open his eyes. Half of the white official robe embroidered with gold thread was hidden in the dark: "Say."

Pei Sili did not dare to delay and explained the two things in the afternoon one by one. He did not respond when he heard the first news, but when he heard the second one, Li Guofeng suddenly opened his eyes.

The golden eyes were like sharp swords, cutting through the darkness.

"You mean, Fang Liuhuo secretly met Bai Chuan?" he asked in a deep voice.

Pei Sili nodded: "That's true. The two even staggered the time. Shirakawa left behind and Liuhuo stepped into the water courtyard. The specific conversation was unknown, but our people reported that Fang Jianhou seemed to be in a good mood when he left."

Li Guofeng remained silent, frowned, and then slowly spoke after a while: "You said, will the two of them join forces?"

Pei Sili hesitated and said, "Water and fire are incompatible, it has always been like this."

Li Guofeng sneered: "The national teacher once had a famous saying, "There is no eternal enemy, only eternal interests."

“You mean…”

"It's hard to say. Maybe it's still unknown if it's performed for us." Li Guofeng pondered for a long time, his face was gloomy and sunny. Finally, weighing the pros and cons, he chose the safest plan: "Send the order..."

...

Few people know about the battles that took place under the water, but in the next few days, some interesting changes began to occur in the Imperial Heaven Prison.

First of all, in response to the gradual weakening of the suppression of the Wooden Institute, to be precise, some resources controlled by the Gold Institute have begun to be issued normally, and the Water Institute has still set up a card.

Secondly, there are rumors that raging, leading to conflict between Jin and Water, and the topics focus on the private gossip of disciples on both sides and the disclosure of secret plots by Jin and the secret plot of Jin and the disclosure.

This led to several conflicts between the lower-level disciples and even alarmed Si Li to solve the problem, which caused a lot of controversy.

People are always chasing new hot spots.

In just a few days, the public opinion around the Wooden Court has faded, and the contradiction between gold and water has become the focus of attention.

Four Season Pavilion.

When the people in the Wooden Court sat around the stone table for a meeting again, the solemn and depressed expression on their faces disappeared, replaced by ease and excitement.

"Most of the resources have returned to normal. Although the Water Institute is still stumbling, they do not have much authority to control and have little impact on us." Middle-aged Si Li smiled.

"The small measures such as poaching have also been reduced a lot. Yesterday, I saw Song Yuan and his group of people in conflict with Jinyuan, and in the end, Jianzhuang came forward to suppress them." The female Si Li gloated.

The others also spoke one after another, summarizing the news, and the overall situation has improved greatly.

Xu Xiurong was recovering from her injuries and did not attend the meeting.

"I didn't expect that according to what Junior Brother Ji said, the situation was really brought back." Mu Yaoyao smiled and looked at Ji Ping'an with an even more admiration.

When the latter gave a lecture and gave a response strategy, she was still worried about whether it worked.

Now that the effect is only a few days, it’s significant. How can you be unhappy?

"Okay, transferring the conflict can only give you a short chance to breathe. Don't be too happy too early. If you cannot counterattack further, the situation will only worsen again when the two sides negotiate with each other."

Ji Ping'an poured a basin of cold water at the right time and asked:

"In terms of black material, how are you collected?"

Upon hearing this, everyone smiled calmly and took out the paper, summarizing the black materials about the Water Courtyard that they collected over the past few days.

When I saw it suddenly, there were actually quite a lot. After all, Sichen, the entire Water Courtyard, was only a few dozen people, and there were a group of Wood Courtyard who defected, and knew the truth.

But after everyone summed it up, they found that as middle-aged Si Li said, there were many small mistakes, but serious big mistakes were rare.

"If it's just these materials, at most it will cause them some trouble, but it's far from being able to achieve a fatal blow." Ji Ping'an dropped the paper and made the final decision.

Mu Yaoyao's delicate little face collapsed: "What should I do? Everyone has worked very hard and only found these."

Others were also depressed and no longer as excited as before.

As Ji Ping'an said, if the counterattack cannot be carried out, the current victory will only be a flash in the pan, and even when the two houses react, they will face a more severe situation.

The atmosphere in the courtyard was depressed again, and familiar tension surged into my heart, and even the weeping willows were listless.

A group of people discussed the situation again and were at a loss. Finally, Ji Ping'an announced that he would continue to collect information and discuss it next time.

After returning to Qinglian Xiaozhu, Huang He, who had been holding it in for a long time, couldn't help but ask: "Young Master, do you already have an idea?"

Ji Ping'an lay on a rattan chair, picked up the book, and asked with a smile: "Why do you say that?"

Huang He smiled, moved a small stool and sat next to him, saying:

"After all I have been with you for so long, I have learned a little bit of my opinion. Just now, everyone was at a loss. Although you didn't speak, your expression was not anxious, but instead you were confident."

"You." Ji Ping'an smiled helplessly, then pondered for a moment, and said, "I can't say that I am confident, but I do have a task that you need to do."

Huang He was shocked and said, "You said."

"Come here." Ji Ping'an waved.

After a moment, Huang He looked nervous: "Young Master, I really want to say this? Wouldn't it cause you trouble?"

Ji Ping'an smiled, his eyes were as calm as the sea. The sunlight shone through the peach tree above his head, causing a tiny spot of light. He said without much care:

"If you fish, you have to be willing to bait. Besides, if you don't say these words, others won't guess."

Huang He seemed to understand but not, thinking that the young master's methods became increasingly unpredictable.

...

That night, a small incident happened in the Imperial Heaven Prison.

Huang He and Dr. Zhao and other former colleagues had a drink together. They got drunk while holding a cup and had a drink. After drinking, a secret was revealed, and the next day it was a rumor.

"Have you heard that? Ji Ping'an was personally taught by the national teacher. He not only taught astronomy, but also gave other gifts. He practiced a thousand miles a day." At noon, someone in the canteen whispered.

Xue Hongjian sat down with a meal and frowned when she heard this: "Where did the rumors come from?"

Junior Sister Wang was mysterious and said, "It seems that it is not a rumor, but Huang He was aphasia after drinking. It is said that Ji Ping'an dared to worship in the wooden courtyard because of this confidence. There is also a saying that Xu Jianhou even got benefits from him, and his injuries will soon recover."

Xue Hongjian frowned when he heard this, but still didn't believe it.

Seeing this, a person next to him said, "You think, this is profound in astronomy and innate wood. He also knows so many details of the students of the country. It is obviously not an ordinary recommendation student, and it is reasonable to pass on his own."

Xue Hongjian was shaken.

In fact, after the branch office, there was such speculation about Ji Ping'an, but it was not mainstream. Huang He's misunderstanding after drinking this time suddenly made many people believe it.

While everyone was talking, they did not notice a corner of the black robe passing by.

After Peng Sili walked out of the canteen, he returned to the water courtyard and found Shirakawa.

"Personal news from the National Master? Xu Xiurong is about to recover from his injuries?"

Shirakawa was having a meal, and his first reaction was to laugh. He thought the rumors were too outrageous, but as Peng Sili described it, he turned into deep thought.

Conspiracy Theory Mode Launches.

Speaking of which, it seems that it is not impossible... At least, the saying that he has the confidence and dares to surrender to the wooden courtyard is far more reliable than Xu Xiurong's beauty plan.

"Jianghou?" Peng Sili asked tentatively.

Shirakawa waved his hand irritably: "I understand, please step back."

...

night.

The rumors became more and more intense, and no one noticed that a swift suddenly flew out of the Imperial Sky Prison and flapped its wings into the night sky.

The black swift flew over the incense Qingyun Palace, and the bustling Chang'an Street... and finally landed in an ordinary courtyard.

"call out!"

A terrible wind suddenly flew out of the yard, swept the swift into the house, and was grabbed by a thick right hand.

Pull off the paper strip tied on the foot, pressed it on the table with the hand, and slowly twisted it flat.

At the same time, strange spells sounded, and the blank paper was "activated", light gold words lit up, and disappeared in an instant.

"Ji...peaceful."

The owner of his hand pronounced the name in a slightly hoarse voice. In the dim candlelight, the corners of his mouth expanded little by little.

...

Green lotus small building.

The night sky is dotted with stars, a dark cloud covers the waning moon, and the courtyard becomes dark.

Only the lanterns hanging under the eaves cast a circle of warm light.

Ji Ping'an wrapped in his outer robe and lies in a sleeping house.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and illusory astrology appeared deep in his pupils. Without the need to use magic tools, the Great Heavenly Secret Art in his heart turned.

Countless mysterious and obscure future fragments come from the sea of ​​stars.

"Very bad!"

...

ps: Change first and then change. Considering that the procrastination during the day is too serious, I am considering whether to stay up late to write...
Chapter completed!
