There are a lot of red plums planted in Jingfu's Li Garden, but it is not yet the time for the flowers to bloom, and only a few flower bones can be seen on the branches, scattered and scattered, and there is no cold and arrogant appearance that makes people fascinated at all.

Ugin sank westward, and An Lan stepped on the last bit of afterglow and walked into Liyuan.

She had been to Liyuan once before, when she was just a waiter in the Tianshu Palace. At that time, Jingyan Gongzi lived in the White Garden of Jingfu, and she was not qualified to live in the White Garden at that time, so she rested in Liyuan.

But that time was just in time for the red plums in full bloom in the garden, and the scenery was so beautiful that it made people's hearts palpitate.

An Lan walked in step by step, her eyes scanning every corner. It is still the outer eaves and arches, the vermilion lacquer columns, each of which is exquisitely gorgeous and ingenious, even if the prince and the prince live here, it will not insult the identity.

It's just that the garden is still the same yard...... But now the doors and windows are closed, the courtyard is cold, and the mother-in-law who guards the garden outside is only nested in her own hut, and occasionally hears some noises, and never pokes her head out to take a look. The maids brought over by the county lord of Yuyao are still living here, and they are afraid that they will not be able to leave until the cause of the county lord's death is found out.

In addition, there were eight guards from southern Xinjiang on the front yard, who were on duty day and night, always keeping an eye on Liyuan and the movements of the entire Jingfu, as if they were waiting for someone on purpose.

These days, in addition to receiving people from the government to investigate the case, the people of Jingfu try to avoid this place as much as possible, so as long as someone approaches this side, they can't hide the eyes of those guards in southern Xinjiang.

However, An Lan didn't alarm anyone, and walked to the front of the hall in Liyuan.

At this time, the door of the hall was closed, and a coffin was placed inside, which was prepared by the Jingfu of the Southern Xinjiang People's Life, but the county lord of Yuyao was not buried, and the body was placed next to the coffin. Seven or eight days have passed, and I don't know what has become of the corpse, but fortunately it is winter, so it is not too ugly.

It is said that these days, no one dares to touch the body of the county lord lightly, even if the doctor and the official who investigated the case come, they can only stand aside and look at it a few times, and the rest are dictated by the county lord's personal maid.

When An Lan walked to the door, she didn't rush to open the door immediately to take a look, but stopped her steps.

As soon as she stepped up the steps, she felt something was wrong, and the closer she got to the hall, the more obvious it became.

Again, this is the first time I have encountered such a situation.

From the moment she entered Jingfu, she became a fragrance realm, although she was in Liyuan, but in fact, she was walking in her own world, as long as she didn't want to, no one could see her, let alone anyone could approach her.

However, this dangerous feeling came so suddenly, as if someone or something was about to break into her fragrance world!

Could it be that other great incense masters have also come? Who could it be?

An Lan looked at the closed door in front of her, frowning slightly, no, it's not that someone wants to break into her incense realm, but ...... An Lan showed surprise in her eyes, and took a step back.

It's not another great incense master, what is that?

That cold, sticky, restless feeling, looking around, trying to pounce on it and devour it!

The incense of the great incense master is born from the heart, so the clouds and rain only act on the living beings, and the higher the spirituality of the living beings, the more they cannot resist the incense world. Therefore, in this world, almost no one can escape the fragrance of the great incense master. And the only one who can fight against the incense realm is the incense realm of another great incense master.

However, at this time, an unknown situation has arisen, what is in the hall?

At this moment, the door of the side room opened, and two maids came out, one holding a basin of water in his hand, and the other holding a stack of cotton towels.

"The snow has stopped, why is it still so cold!"

"It's winter, it's definitely getting colder day by day, let's go, don't rub it off, finish it early and go back early to rest." ”

"Hmm. ”

Seeing that they were coming to the hall, An Lan took two steps aside and watched them walk to the position she had just placed. The two maids are both seventeen or eighteen years old, both are very good-looking, one has a round face, the other has a melon seed face, at this time, the round-faced maid showed a little timidity, and said softly: "We don't know what to do next, if-"

The melon-faced maid immediately stopped her: "Shhh

The round-faced maid hurriedly stopped talking, but the apprehension on her face did not decrease.

An Lan squinted slightly, watching them push open the door of the hall.

……

At the mouth of Zaoshu Lane in the eastern district of Chang'an City, there is a shop specializing in selling mutton hot pot, the shop is very simple, almost a shed built with oilcloth, except for the top of the head, the front and back are open to the wind. There are several tables under the shed, and on each table there is a small stove, the stove is burning vigorously, the mutton is tumbling in the pot, and the rich fragrance wafts in this cold winter night, attracting those who are in a hurry at night, and every time they come here, they can't help but stop.

Bai Yan picked up a piece of mutton and tasted it, then said, "You can eat it." ”

At this time, he was seated at the same table as a man in a cloak and a hat. The cloak was so large that it covered the whole person, and the cap of the cloak was so large that it almost covered the entire face, revealing only a delicate chin.

"You're looking for me, just to invite me to eat this?"

Bai Yan smiled: "The fireworks in the world have a different taste." ”

"You know, I've never been a fan of lamb. ”

Bai Yan took a sip of soup: "The soup is very fresh, since you are here, let's taste it." ”

"She went to Jingfu tonight. ”

Bai Yan picked up his chopsticks and slowly picked up a slice of mutton.

"I see, she asked you to hold me back. ”

After Bai Yan ate half a bowl of mutton soup, he raised his eyes: "That's right." ”

"Do you think you can hold me back?"

Bai Yan drank the remaining half bowl of soup and filled another bowl: "Can you try it?"

"Try it?" Situ Jing suddenly chuckled, "You're not my opponent." ”

Bai Yan also had a smile on his lips, but he didn't speak, the fire reflected on his face, and the smile seemed to brighten up a little. He came out tonight, still in a simple cotton robe, but with a cape. The cloak was adorned with a fur collar, and as he ate, he untied the collar of the cloak and put it on his shoulders. He looked casual, he didn't even have a sword on him, he didn't give the slightest sense of danger.

Situ Jing still hung his face slightly, and the wide brim of his hat covered his face: "I don't want to do anything with you." ”

"Then eat a bowl of mutton soup. As he spoke, Bai Yan filled him a bowl and placed it in front of him.

Situ Jing stared at him from behind the shadows: "Why do you deign to obey her!?"

"Condescension? I don't think so. Bai Yan smiled faintly and handed him a pair of chopsticks.

Situ Jing looked at the pair of chopsticks, and suddenly smiled suspiciously: "Do you know why I haven't left yet?"

Bai Yan put the chopsticks in front of him: "The trap you set for her." ”

"You know!" Situ Jing was slightly stunned, and then nodded slightly, "It's not strange that you guessed." ”

After Bai Yan drank another half bowl of soup, he felt that it was almost over, so he put down his chopsticks.

Situ Jing looked at him from behind the shadows: "You're not worried?"

Bai Yan took out the money and put it on the table, then stood up and looked at the night: "It's late, go back." ”
