At this time, how could there be a guard in this place?

He held on to the courtyard gate and gasped, the silver armor on his body faintly flashed a discordant red light, and the red light moved and fell, falling to his feet, like liquid.

Wu Yan frowned, and thought: Could it be that this guard is the one at the gate of the palace just now, I didn't expect him to be able to find him from afar, not to mention that he is only one person, and he is not behind the little eunuch who led the way just now, but he has already changed his clothes, so he shouldn't find anything. Wu Yan didn't know what he was going to do, so he just watched from afar.

The man leaned against the wall and stood up, he saw Wu Yan, stretched out his hand and waved at Wu Yan, struggling but trying to speak.

The sun shone through his face, and his whole body was shrouded in bright light, not far away, but his voice was weak, and Wu Yan hesitated to stand there and watch, not knowing whether to walk over.

*****

A cup of tea was slammed on the table, the teacup lid shook off the table, the "bell" turned several times, stopped at the edge of the table, the water in the teacup splashed on the table, obviously freshly brewed tea, the water still exuded heat, and it drifted in the room.

"Cheng, why didn't you report me in advance?" Xia Ziyan, who had put the tea on the table, stood up and asked coldly to the scarred man beside him.

"It happened suddenly, and I can't help it. ”

The man with the scar replied, looking directly into Xia Ziyan's eyes as usual, as if he was not surprised, and ignored the anger on Xia Ziyan's face, but he didn't look directly at it for too long, nor was he silent for too long, and soon he calmly continued to describe the situation, "When Qingmo delivered breakfast yesterday, there was nothing abnormal about them, and the kid among them even talked to Qingmo for a few words. As a result, something went wrong in the evening, and when I returned home, they didn't say goodbye. Qingmo was sleeping in his room at the time, and asked him what was unusual in the afternoon and evening, but he was so confused that he couldn't say anything; Qingyan was not in his room, and there was no news so far. At that time, the night was deep and the rain was heavy, why did Qing Yan leave the mansion, and the quilt on his bed was not folded, as if he had already gone to bed to rest, and then something suddenly happened, so that he could not go back to bed. ”

The tea cooled quickly, and the heat had long since lost its trace, but people's hearts were still beating very fast, Xia Ziyan interrupted Cheng's words, as if he wanted to say something, but he sat down at the table, took a few deep breaths, and just said, "You go on." ”

"We took them in and protected them in the name of Tianshan, and they heard the conversation between the young master and Xie Shilang, so they were relieved to stay. Unless, someone told them something about the situation, misled them, and not only caused them to no longer trust the young master, but also did not say goodbye. ”

Xia Ziyan listened with his eyes closed, said "um", and motioned for Cheng to continue talking.

"Qingyan and Qingmo, these two children have no relatives, and they have followed the young master since they were children, and it is impossible for them to leave the mansion for no reason, unless there is an accident. This accident is that Qingyan was taken away by these people who came from the dissolved water. They took Qing Yan away, and they must have let Qing Yan take them into the palace to see the emperor and sue the emperor. Qing Yan is the person next to the young master, and the palace gate guards will not know him, and it will be easy to do things with him. The young master did not return overnight, and this matter could not be delayed, so I could only take a way to send the news to the palace first, so that our people in the palace could be more vigilant, and secretly pay attention to when these people appeared, not that I did not intend to tell the young master. ”

Xia Ziyan slowly opened his eyes, "What you think is indeed the same as what I think, these people are in order to clear their own and the people of the dissolved water, so they left home and traveled thousands of miles to Beijing to sue the emperor, and it is not wise to return home rashly at this time." Since they had been taken in and resettled by the Tianshan people before, it must be because there was no one in Jiankang City who they could take refuge into, at least those who did not dare to rush to the place at this moment. They left here because of desperation, and the road of entering the palace to sue the emperor has been turned into a dead end for them, and their relatives are imprisoned, and their fellow villagers are about to be suppressed by the army, for fear that they will be full of hatred, and the royal cry will become a coercion of the emperor. ”

After hearing this, Cheng was taken aback, and the hideous scar on his face moved, making it even more hideous. Xia Ziyan glanced at him and said lightly, "Is it injustice or resentment, is it injustice or coercion, guess what, what will the result be?"

"However, you also know that Qing Yan has been with me since he was a child, and the friendship between master and servant is not shallow, so he may not be obedient, what if he would rather die than bring these people into the palace?"

"Is the young master saying that Qingyan is in danger?"

"No, at least until this layer of paper has been pierced, at least until everything can be turned back, as long as they haven't seen the emperor, Qingyan is very safe. Cheng, you must be wondering how they can still see the emperor without Qingyan to lead the way for them. ”

Cheng nodded, and Xia Ziyan continued: "Everything is secretly pushed by someone, and the people behind this scene sneaked into my private mansion, contacted the people I protected, and could also convey news to them, provoking them, just to let them enter the palace, and then take them into the palace to assassinate the emperor." ”

Xia Ziyan's face changed, and he hurriedly said: "Cheng, there is still a possibility that they will leave without saying goodbye, that is, the person who took them away borrowed my name." ”

The two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw each other's solemn expressions.

In the next second, Xia Ziyan had already walked out of the house in a hurry, "Prepare the horse, I want to enter the palace." ”

But Xia Ziyan's body to the gate of the mansion was stopped by the city, "I think that the young master should not go to the palace at this moment, if they assassinate and the young master rushes to the rescue, wouldn't it make everyone think that the young master got the news in advance, or let people with a heart believe that this is a play directed by the young master, and in the name of pretending to assassinate the escort, to please the saint......?"

"I know what you've arranged, why are you still hiding it from me and not telling it?"

Cheng's eyes dodged, but he couldn't stand Xia Ziyan's approaching questioning, so he could only say in a low voice, "The young master can't come forward, you can't come forward, but the assassination of the emperor is a big deal, and you must not come forward, but the only person in this palace and this world who can come forward is ......."

Before he finished speaking, Xia Ziyan's face sank, and he already knew the scar man's arrangement, "You want to borrow someone from Tianshan Mountain to do this?"

"The people of the Tianshan Mountains are far away from the government, and what they have done in the past dynasties is nothing more than blessings, not to mention that they have always been able to perceive the will of heaven and know the mandate of heaven, if they are asked to come forward to remind them, the emperor will not doubt it. ”

"Do you know that you are betting on innocent Tianshan people?"

When there is no rain, the rising sun occasionally hides in the clouds, and the dreary hot and humid air oppresses people, but they cannot break free.

The scar man's silent eyebrows were gloomy and incomprehensible, and when he heard the words, he just laughed twice, his expression touched the scar, as if the scar was squirming on his face, he smiled and said slowly: "The young master already has a weakness, and he can't do it any more." ”
