Chapter 49: The Bamboo Forest

Walking on the road, there was a sudden sound of horses' hooves behind him, and Shi Yan turned his head to see Zi Yun riding the jade horse, following behind him.

"County Lord, why are you following me?" Shi Yan wondered.

"You go yours, I'll go mine, what do I want to do with you?" Zi Yun looked at Shi Yan lightly.

Okay! You win! Shi Yan turned his head helplessly, the two of them went one after the other, Zi Yun sat on the horse, and Shi Yan walked on the ground, without speaking.

It wasn't until he arrived in front of Master Ouyang's courtyard that Zi Yun looked at him suspiciously and asked, "You live here?"

"Hmm!" Stone Eyes nodded.

"Who allowed you to live here!" Zi Yun said angrily, although Master Ouyang had already left, why did Shi Yan move in so shamelessly?

"Huh?" Shi Yan was shocked, what is this girl crazy about?

He said helplessly: "Master Ouyang has already given me the courtyard!"

"Even if it's Ou ......" Before she finished speaking, she was stunned, and then looked at Shi Yan with a strange expression, "What did you say? Master Ouyang gave you the courtyard!"

"Hmm!" Stone Eyes nodded.

Zi Yun was shocked, Master Ouyang was too good to Shi Yan, right? The mansion in this county capital is not something that ordinary people can afford, so he will give it away?

Just as she wanted to speak again, a black-clothed masked man suddenly appeared on the tree behind Shi Yan, her face changed greatly, and she exclaimed, "Be careful!"

Seeing that he was discovered, the man took out a few black darts from behind him and shot them at Shi Yan, without looking at the results, and disappeared into the woods without looking back.

With Ziyun's reminder, Shi Yan dodged the darts sideways, only to see the black darts deep into the soil.

Seeing that Shi Yan was fine, Zi Yun breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to lean over to pick up the black darts, Shi Yan hurriedly reminded: "Don't touch it!"

Zi Yun was stunned for a moment, and when she fixed her eyes, she saw that the soil around the black dart was gradually turning black, so frightened that she hurriedly retracted her hand!

"This dart has been smeared with poison!" Shi Yan said in a deep voice, tearing off a piece of cloth, picking up a dart, and examining it carefully.

The length of the dart is about three inches and seven minutes, the weight is seven taels, and the dart body has five edges, under the sunlight, it flashes with dark green light, which looks very terrifying!

"This man is so ruthless!" This is a determination to kill! Look at the color of this dart, black and green, it must be an extremely strong poison, and it is dangerous to get a little bit of it!

Zi Yun wiped the sweat from her forehead and looked at him with a strange expression, this guy has only been in the county capital for a few days!

Shi Yan fell into deep thought, who did he offend? Reverse Hao? Reverse Shui Han? It seems that there are only these two people! No matter how hard you count, you can still get involved, that person should be a spirit master, looking at this poisonous dart, it is obvious that he wants to put himself to death.

Zi Yun's face was also a little solemn, if something happened to Shi Yan, she didn't dare to imagine the consequences, she said in a deep voice: "This place is no longer safe, you can't stay here anymore!"

Being able to send a spirit master as a killer is obviously not an ordinary force, and this matter needs to be reported to his father.

"Follow me!" Ziyun said.

Shi Yan didn't refuse, and followed behind Zi Yun, and now I don't know who wants to kill him, he is in the light and the enemy is in the dark, so changing his residence is also the best way at present!

The two walked for a long time, Zi Yun took him into a dense bamboo forest, the two walked in the bamboo sea, the deep and dusty air was fragrant, and a cool breeze hit, which made people refreshed and open-minded.

Shi Yan took a deep breath of the somewhat humid air, and secretly praised the beautiful place in his heart, but he didn't expect that there was such a quiet and elegant place in this bustling and lively county.

There is a winding path in the bamboo forest, and at the end of the road, there is an elegant bamboo house, and it is hard to imagine how indifferent the owner of this bamboo house is.

Zi Yun looked at this pleasant scenery, but there was a trace of sadness hidden between her brows, she stared at the stone eyes tightly, and said with a serious face: "You can live here, but I don't allow you to enter that bamboo house!"

If you don't enter the house, where will you sleep! Shi Yan just wanted to speak, but saw Zi Yun's red eyes, even when he met the moment of life and death of the bandit, Shi Yan didn't see her show such an expression!

What kind of eyes were they! Sadness, longing, incomprehension, resentment, despair! There were so many emotions in one look! What had she been through? What did this bamboo house mean to her?

He couldn't guess, and he didn't want to ask, but nodded faintly, and agreed to her.

Zi Yun turned her head, wiped the tears in her eyes, didn't want to stay for a moment, and soon disappeared into the bamboo forest.

Soon, she came to the county king's mansion, she brewed her emotions a little, and walked in.

"Dad, Stone Eyes just met an assassin!"

"Oh? is he hurt?" Zishan frowned.

Zi Yun shook her head and said, "No, I dodged it!"

"Where?"

"The courtyard where Master Ouyang used to be, Master Ouyang has already given it to Shi Yan!"

Zishan nodded, not surprised, Ouyang Ning had told him about Stone Eyes before he left, but how did the assassin know?

"Father, you know that Master Ouyang gave that mansion to Shiyan!" Zi Yun wondered.

"Well, Ouyang told me!" Thinking of Ouyang Ning, Zishan sighed, for him, Ouyang Ning was an existence that was both a teacher and a friend, and since he went to the imperial capital, he was still a little unaccustomed to it.

"Oh, by the way, Father, the daughter of the poison dart has also been brought!" said as she untied the ball of cloth in her hand, and after Shi Yan picked up the darts, she asked for one to keep.

"This is ......!" Seeing the glittering poisonous dart in Zi Yun's hand, Zi Shan's eyes froze, and he said in a deep voice: "Dark Night Pavilion!"

Although this Dark Night Pavilion is hidden in the county capital, Zishan has ruled Ziyun County for many years, and although he doesn't know where he is hiding, he also vaguely understands that the person behind it is from the imperial capital!

"It's those people who killed Commander Yang!" Zi Yun exclaimed.

Four years ago, the commander of Xichengwei at that time was not a rebel Hao, but a commander of Yang, but he was assassinated in his camp, which caused a sensation in the entire county capital at that time!

In the county capital, a great spirit master can be called a top master, not to mention a commander who died, hearing this news, Zishan at that time was shocked and angry.

He ordered all the four Davids to go out, surround the entire county capital, and have been investigating for three days and three nights, and finally found out that it was done by a mysterious force called the Dark Night Pavilion, and then, Zishan began to look for the traces of the Dark Night Pavilion.

But this Dark Night Pavilion seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no clues could be found, just when he was about to become angry, a message came from the imperial capital, asking him to stop the investigation of the Dark Night Pavilion!

The assassination of the commander and the investigation of the Dark Night Pavilion all happened in the county capital, how did the imperial capital know about it? Although he couldn't believe it, he began to doubt that man in his heart!

What do you want to do......

Shi Yan, who was staying in the bamboo forest, looked at the bamboo house, and said helplessly: "That's it, go out and find a piece of cloth, it seems that you can only sleep in the bamboo forest today!"

Not long after Shi Yan walked out of the bamboo forest, he met an old man with white hair, Shi Yan couldn't help but be curious and stopped him.

"Uncle, do you know who lived in this bamboo forest before?"

"Haha, what's the matter?" The old man laughed.

Shi Yan nodded, what did Zi Yun's look mean?

"Okay, it just so happens that the old man is free today, so I will tell you about my first beauty in Ziyun County!" When he said this first beauty, the old man's voice was extremely excited.

He found a stone, sat on the stone, and said with emotion: "That was more than ten years ago, and in this bamboo forest, there lived a woman named Zhu Wanyun!"

"I can tell you, that woman is really beautiful, she can really be described as a sinking fish and a goose, and her character is also elegant and vulgar, demure and dignified, and then she is also praised as the first beauty of Ziyun!" Speaking of this, the old man paused and began to recall the amazing face.

"Back then, in order to be able to see this first beauty, the young people of the counties of the empire flocked to her, and even our county kings were quite fascinated by her!"

Shi Yan rubbed his slightly aching head, and said helplessly: "Uncle, you just tell me where this woman went in the end!" It seems that this old man seems to like to talk to people very much!

"You doll, why are you so impatient? The old man is not in a hurry, what are you anxious about?" The old man said angrily, a little annoyed that Shi Yan suddenly interrupted him!

"You have to go, you don't want to listen, the old man still doesn't want to talk about it!" the old man got up and wanted to leave.

Shi Yan was in a hurry, and hurriedly grabbed him, and after saying good things for a while, he reluctantly sat down.

"Uncle, you speak, you speak, I listen carefully!"

"Well, the children can be taught!This is decent!" the old man touched his beard proudly, "Where was it just now?"

"Well, when it comes to the king of the county, he also likes that woman!"

"Well, this county king was also a first-class master in the county capital back then, so we were all optimistic about them back then, you said that this talented woman is a good match!"

"However, just as I was watching the relationship between the two of them get closer and closer, that Wanyun suddenly disappeared!" the old man sighed, obviously regretting that the two did not go together.

"What about the back?" The stone eyes also inexplicably ignited the heart of gossip, the merry past of the county king!

"Hehe, boy, hurry!" the old man smiled inexplicably, "You will never think of what happened next!"

"What's wrong?"

"After a year, Wanyun appeared again, but not in the county capital, but in the county capital!" the old man paused slightly, "What is even more unbelievable is that she has given birth to a daughter for the Purple Emperor!"

The corners of Shi Yan's mouth twitched, why did this sound so bizarre!

"She's the ...... of Takego now," the old man paused, "Do you still listen to the back?"
