28. The calm before the storm
"Should I believe you?" Ji Tiansheng's question again fully exposed the contradiction in her heart. Reason told her that she should trust the judgment of the divine doctor, and that she should take care of him even if she did not deal with him, but emotionally, she was a woman, and occasionally needed strong support, especially in such a stormy period.
When people are faced with hardships and hardships, their hearts are more or less fragile, and it is easy to be taken advantage of.
In fact, the result has long been predestined, and the conversation between the two parties is actually a little naΓ―ve, just like a child who is drinking at home discussing whether her husband is cheating or not.
"When have I ever let you down?" Yan Li said lightly.
After careful calculation, Yan Li can get to this day, of course, it is not because of the hazy emotions between them, Ji Tiansheng should be the most unemotional woman in the world, it doesn't matter about beauty, the things she carries are different.
Yan Li's ability to get to where he is today is because of his own efforts, and maybe there is some luck in it, but it can't cover up his ability after all.
After some struggle, Ji Tiansheng finally made up his mind: "Now tell me how they died." β
Yan Li hooked the corner of his mouth and slowly opened his mouth.
"The answer is ......"
β¦β¦
What is the answer, of course, it is difficult to reveal it now, but let's focus on the state.
The carrier pigeons are slower in winter, and only arrive at the Lonely Moon Building in the evening of the next day.
After receiving the letter, Li Xiangjun immediately summoned Yan Shiyi and other core members.
Yan Shan robbed and killed several small commanders, and it seemed that his strength was not as good as it was at the beginning, but his core combat power was more than Yan Wushuang and Li Kuofu, which made people even more fearful.
In fact, there is nothing to discuss, Yan Li has always only given instructions, and will not explain why, let alone doubt.
Li Xiangjun opened the door and said: "Letter from the head of the dragon, meet in Yongling on the night of Chinese New Year's Eve. β
"It's really instructive. Yan Wushuang complained slightly, "There is only so much time left, if you want to rush to Yongling, you don't think about whether your brothers can eat or not." β
"You talk a lot. Li Kuofu was still very unconvinced by him, and he was happy to raise the bar with him, "Long Shou said that Chinese New Year's Eve is Chinese New Year's Eve. β
Li Xiangjun said, "On Chinese New Year's Eve, we will set off now." β
Yan Wushuang said: "Let's go in the middle of the night, don't alarm too many people." β
Yan Shiyi chuckled lightly and said, "Xiao Lili is calling us, I can't wait, let's leave now." β
"But......" Yan Wushuang hesitated for a moment, and pointed to the location of the backyard outside the window, "Chaoyang is still kneeling, why don't you knock him out and transport him to Yongling in a carriage?"
"No, I don't. Yan Shiyi said and dodged out of the window, descended from the sky, pulled out the Purple Night Knife, and put it on Yan Chaoyang's neck, "Ah Li sent a summons, if you don't go, lest you freeze to death here, it's better to let me kill you with a knife." β
Every two days, he would order someone to boil hot water to warm Yan Chaoyang, as long as the temperature was maintained, he would not die.
However, I haven't eaten or drunk for more than half a month, and my originally strong body has become skinny.
Yan Chaoyang finally moved slightly, then looked up at Yan Shiyi, opened his mouth, but didn't say anything. He looked down and pondered for a moment, then stood up and walked to his room step by step.
God knows how he still feels in his feet after kneeling for so many days.
However, he fainted with a "bang" when he walked to the door.
"Look, I'll just say I need a carriage. Yan Wushuang gloated and laughed.
"Waste. Yan Shiyi brushed his sleeves away.
"Eleven, wait. Yan Wushuang suddenly lowered his gaze and stopped him with a serious expression.
"You only have half an hour to prepare. "Yan Shiyi said.
Yan Wushuang said: "I want to know, why since I was a child, you were so strict and harsh to us, but you were so spoiled by Ah Li, how is Chaoyang and I inferior to him?"
Yan Shiyi turned around and narrowed Danfeng's eyes slightly: "Are you serious about this?"
"I've never been more serious than I am now. Yan Wushuang said seriously, "Eleven, you have to give me an answer. β
Yan Shiyi stared at his face and said, "You shouldn't forget." β
"Forgot something?" Yan Wushuang said, "I know that Ah Li has a good view of the overall situation and is very good at calculating, so I agree with him as the dragon head, but it doesn't mean that he can command you at will." Let you hold back, let you take revenge, you forget what your identity is? You are Yan Shiyi, what is your dignity?"
He grabbed in front of Yan Shiyi again and said, "I know what you want to say, the Yan Mountain Thief was founded by Ah Li, but if there is no us, what great thing can he do?"
Yan Shi must have looked at him for a long time before he said, "This is the first time you have interrupted me, it seems that Lu Xian has done something that I can't do." β
Yan Wushuang's whole body was shocked, and he argued: "It has nothing to do with the sect leader!"
Yan Shiyi said lightly: "Then I'll tell you the answer: I don't kill him, it has nothing to do with Ah Li, it's just to let him live through Chinese New Year's Eve, which can be regarded as the reward for bringing me to the door back then." I am harsh with you because you are my brother, and I spoil Ah Li because he is cruel to him. β
After a pause, he added, "You have begun to learn to question, which is good, only questioning can make progress." However, you can question anyone, including me, and you must not question Ah Li, if I hear similar remarks next time, I will kill you with my own hands!"
Yan Wushuang turned around and went back to the room without saying a word.
In addition to preparing to set off, Li Xiangjun also has a mission.
She wrote a letter and ordered someone to send it to Xiliang overnight.
This was Yan Li's last move.
Now she knew what was going on with the Yanshan Thieves disappearing all year round, because they were digging holes.
This hole has been dug for many years. Digging from Lingzhou to Yanzhou, it is the junction of Qingzhou and Bingzhou. The original purpose of this cave was to be used against the Martial God Tyrant.
Now, the map has been sent to Xiliang with the letter.
β¦β¦
On the night of the second day when the Yanshan thieves marched towards Yongling, that is, on the night of December 29, the chaos in Yongling suddenly disappeared into invisibility. Because there were no more officials who died violently, and the imperial court also dispatched a large army to suppress it, Jingzhao Mansion finally maintained law and order in a stable state.
But this is only the peace on the surface, the deeper darkness, and the abyss behind the darkness, gradually approaching Yongling.
But now there is something more important. Ji Tiansheng announced on the morning of the third day, that is, on the day of Chinese New Year's Eve, that this year, the imperial Chinese New Year's Eve will be given, and the hundred officials will spend Chinese New Year's Eve in the palace.
The calm before the storm is always very nervous.
And at the moment before the city gate was under the key on this day, Yan Shiyi and Yan Chaoyang arrived at Yongling first.
Yan Mansion.
Yan Li frowned and said, "What's the matter? Why did you get there first?"
"Wow, master, master, this sister is so beautiful. Fu'er broke in, and when she saw Yan Shiyi, her eyes lit up.
"Hehehe, the dying man, the dying sunset, all beautiful and intoxicating......" Yan Shiyi pulled out the Purple Night Knife.
Yan Li hurriedly held him down: "What are you doing, it's just a little ghost......
Yan Shiyi chuckled and said, "She's scolding me." β
"She didn't scold you. Yan Li rolled his eyes.
Yan Shiyi smiled: "Is there an auditory hallucination?"
Fu'er blinked and said, "What are you talking about?"
Yan Chaoyang walked up in silence and blocked Fu'er behind him.
"Well, I forgive her. Yan Shiyi said with a smile.
Fu'er poked her head out from behind Yan Chaoyang and said with a smile: "Sister, your knife is so beautiful, can you lend it to me to play?"
