Chapter 40: The Dark Tide of the Temple
Sha Li secretly looked at the old housekeeper Yan, calm and humble, he must have seen a big scene when the Yan family ushered in the send-off, Sha Li also put away the playful mentality, and still had to maintain the image of Shanmen and Luo Yuyan in front of outsiders.

The Yan family asked the old housekeeper to go out to greet him in person, which is enough to see Yan Gong's respect for Luo Yuyan, but Sha Li is more strange that he didn't see any correspondence or communication between Luo Yuyan and others along the way, could it be that this old housekeeper and his servants are here every day?
The old housekeeper is good at observing words and feelings, Shali can't hide her thoughts, and the old housekeeper can understand her doubts at a glance. The old housekeeper said with a friendly smile: "Girl, don't be confused, the Yan family is a businessman, and almost all the inns you settled in along the way are the family businesses under the name of our Yan family. ”
Sha Li smiled at the old housekeeper, indicating that he understood, but he couldn't help but be a little afraid. Before I knew it, I was mastered by a stranger who had all the movements, and I felt creepy no matter how I thought about it. Luo Yuyan and Lou Qingxiao beside him looked as usual, and Luo Yuyan talked with Steward Yan from time to time, asking about the current situation of Yan Gong.
Following the old housekeeper Yan, I didn't go far to the Yan family's mansion, the vermilion lacquer door, the Pixiu side, no different from the usual rich family, walked into the mansion, walked through the front yard to the atrium, along the way the Yan family gave Shali more like an old scholarly family.
After the old butler Yan took them to the atrium, a maid came in to serve the teacup, and the old butler said "later" and walked out of the atrium, leaving the three people sitting on the Taishi chair waiting for the arrival of the prince.
"This Yan family is a little different from what I imagined." Sha Li looked at it again and again, and was a little idle.
Lou Qingxiao knocked her shoulder with a fan bone and said: "The Yan family has always been low-key and never publicized. The Yan family is not the richest or the most powerful among the major families, but they have always been the most well-informed, and it is said that the Yan family keeps spies in private. Since it can become a great family with a solid foundation, whether it is in troubled times or prosperous times, it must have the capital to gain a foothold. ”
"Radish strips, since the Yan family's secret agents are so powerful, are you not afraid that the Yan family will hear it if you say it so loudly......"
Lou Qingxiao unfolded the fan very chicly: "Stinky girl, do you think, we are in the Yan family now, if the Yan family is really wary of us, they will know no matter how low they are, it is better to be more open." Besides, what I said was the truth, and I didn't say anything to slander the reputation of the Yan family, and Yan Gong would not care. ”
"Haha, the emperor's Qin angel is really frank and open-minded, according to Rumo, he will definitely be a person who will achieve great things in the future." Listening to the voice, this Yan Gong doesn't seem to be very old, but his tone is calm and calm, and he does have the demeanor of the head of the family. Walking into the atrium alone, the jade crown tied his hair, the brocade clothes were slowly belted, and the jade pendant hanging from his waist touched lightly with his footsteps, and the voice was crisp and pleasant.
The first time I saw him, I was absolutely attracted by his eyes. The ink-like pupils seem to be a deep pool, and there are no other words to describe except silence, and people are worthy of their names as they are. This head of the family, the prince of the ten dialects, looks slightly older than Lou Qingxiao, he looks a little thin under the clothes, obviously he is a noble son of the family, but there is always a feeling of indifference and deepness. Sha Li unconsciously rushed behind Luo Yuyan and Lou Qingxiao, and she was not very willing to get close to this person in her heart.
Lou Qingxiao immediately greeted politely, looking a little embarrassed: "Yan Gong praised it falsely, it was just a joke between me and the little girl, and I hope Yan Gong doesn't care." ”
"Lou Gongzi doesn't have to care so much, it's okay. You are Brother Luo's friend, and you are my friend. Yan Gong was very free and easy, he looked at Luo Yuyan with a smile, and said, "What I care more about is Brother Luo, he has hardly spoken since he entered the door of my Yan family, what is this that he has taken a fancy to me again?" ”
Sha Li was in a cold sweat, it seems that this young family head and Luo Yuyan are also very close and casual, and they know Luo Yuyan's character and habits very well, and they have also suffered losses in Luo Yuyan before.
Luo Yuyan smiled and said, "Xiao Yan doesn't need to be so nervous, if I need something, I will say it directly." ”
Sha Li obviously saw the corners of Yan Gong's mouth twitch.
"This should be Princess Heyu, see the eldest princess. Hearing that the eldest princess was low-key, Rumo did not greet her with a big gift, and asked the eldest princess to forgive her sins. Yan Rumo just lightly blessed his body. Sha Li also pretended to smile, even if they knew each other.
As the head of the Yan family, she naturally knows that Meng Jing, the eldest princess, was sealed for marriage, if you only look at it according to her identity, I am afraid that the position of the head of the Yan family is much higher than that of her, the fake eldest princess.
"My name is Shali now, and Yan Gongzi can just call me by my name. Now she is a disciple of the Mountain Gate, but she is not the eldest princess. "Sha Li can't wait to get rid of the identity of this eldest princess completely. However, this sentence attracted a slight sideways glance.
Yan Rumo looked at Luo Yuyan, Luo Yuyan nodded, acknowledging her other identity. Yan Rumo was not restrained, flicked his sleeves lightly, and said heartily: "Hello Shali girl." If you don't mind, just call me by my first name. ”
This time it was Sha Ligan's turn to laugh, thinking that your expression had become too fast. "Like a Mo boy...... Good ......"
A little maid blessed, and when she saw Yan Rumo nodding, she turned sideways and retreated. Yan Rumo said: "The family banquet is ready, come with me to Luming Pavilion and taste the craftsmanship of the best chef in our Shifang City." ”
In front of the food, Shali's eyes could not tolerate anything else, and the beautiful and delicate architecture was far less good in her eyes than the food in her stomach. Lou Qingxiao was full of praise for the aging of the Yan family, Luo Yuyan's gestures were full of an elegant atmosphere, and Yan Rumo introduced some local customs from time to time, and the atmosphere was harmonious and pleasant.
"I said, Brother Luo, you should also tell me why you came to this Shifang City, right?" Yan Rumo put down his wine glass and asked casually.
Luo Yuyan raised his eyes and looked at Yan Rumo and chuckled: "Didn't I give you the paper crane in advance?" Xiaoyan is so smart, do you still have to ask knowingly? ”
"Wait, Brother Luo, don't play dumb riddles with me." Yan Rumo smiled bitterly, "I did receive your paper crane, and it was just a paper crane. I can't even guess the meaning even if I try to break my head. ”
Luo Yuyan's smile stiffened, and he looked at Lou Qingxiao beside him slightly, Lou Qingxiao's hand holding the wine glass couldn't help but tremble, the wine almost spilled out, feeling Luo Yuyan's gaze, and secretly looked at the sand glass on the other side. Sha Li was busy stuffing a piece of vinegared fish meat into her mouth at this time, and she didn't notice the change in the expressions of the two people around her.
Luo Yuyan sighed in his heart, and instantly understood what was going on. He originally asked Lou Qingxiao to write a simple letter and fold it into a paper crane and pass it to Yan Rumo, but Lou Qingxiao didn't take it to heart and handed it over to Sha Li. Sha Li didn't know what to write, and finally wrote the four big words "We are coming" at random, and sent away the blessing spell.
In the end, it was Luo Yuyan who coughed twice, breaking the subtle atmosphere. He put on his usual indifferent and profound expression, and said, "Well, that's right, the paper crane is not the safest way to transmit messages after all. You must have heard about the things in the cultivator world. ”
"Ding Jian Gate?" Yan Rumo blurted out, and several major families were also paying attention to the news of the cultivator world at any time, "I know something, isn't there news that the matter of Ding Jianmen entering the palace is a misunderstanding?" ”
Yan Rumo didn't rush to conclusions, and casually threw the question back.
"What do you think?" Luo Yuyan didn't want him to be confused.
"My opinion is not important, what matters is the opinion of the cultivator world and those in power."
Lou Qingxiao and Sha Li, who were on the side, were dumbfounded when they heard this, and their ability to play Tai Chi was simply the pinnacle. Luo Yuyan can be regarded as having met an opponent, and seeing that his eyebrows are slightly raised, he must have an idea in his heart.
"Since I avoided other sects and came to Shifang City, you still don't know the true attitude of the mountain gate?" Luo Yuyan said unhurriedly, "Xiao Yan, you are becoming more and more like the old master." ”
I couldn't hear Luo Yuyan's emotions when he said this, as if he was mentioning it casually, and his eyes darkened. "Brother Luo, you haven't changed at all. Several great families are deeply rooted, and to what extent they have penetrated into this Zhuhua continent, I, the head of the family who has just succeeded him, can't say clearly. ”
"No matter how arrogant the Ding Sword Sect is, it doesn't dare to so openly provoke the rules of the cultivator world, there can only be a bigger force behind it. Some people want to change the pattern of the world, and this game of chess has already begun to fall. Luo Yuyan put the wine glass in his hand on the table, and made a muffled sound, like a jade chess piece falling on the chessboard, waking up the dreamer.
Sha Li looked at Luo Yuyan stupidly, and then looked at Yan Rumo, who was a little silent, Lou Qingxiao stared thoughtfully at the wine glass in his hand, as if he was hesitating whether to put it back on the table. For a while, the whistling wind occupied the Luming Pavilion.
Shali can't stand this weird atmosphere, what the world and mountains and rivers are too far away from themselves. It's already eating, so why think about so many annoying things. "Hey, that's a little too serious...... It's better to eat first and then talk about it after eating......" She held her chopsticks, a little hesitant.
Lou Qingxiao quietly kicked the sand glass, sometimes this stinky girl's head is used to show one.
"Xiao Yan, at this time, do you still want to be alone?" Luo Yuyan suddenly said in a loud voice.
"I'm not trying to be alone, and even if I did, it would be self-defeating. It's just that the Yan family was injured in the Siren case, and I can't push the Yan family into the vortex at this time. Yan Rumo shook his head.
Luo Yuyan smiled lightly: "Naturally, I didn't come to persuade you to push the Yan family into the storm, I just want to remind you that there are some things, and by the time it shows its signs, it will be too late." ”
"I don't know." Yan Rumo's gaze was a little hollow.
"You need to think too much about it and ignore the details." Luo Yuyan seemed to sigh with emotion, as if he was mentioning, "The Yan family has such a good geographical location, and there are silent spies at night, why don't you take advantage of it?" ”
"You mean to send spies to investigate the Dingjian Gate?!" Words are like ink whispering.
"I didn't expect Xiao Yan to think so clearly! Sure enough, he deserves the position of the head of the Yan family. Before Yan Rumo's words fell, Luo Yuyan immediately praised, "If it is convenient for Xiao Yan, we will disturb the Yan family for a few days, and we can also do some meager efforts for the Yan family." ”
"......" the words were like ink, "should I still say thank you?" ”
Luo Yuyan waved his sleeves in a dashing manner: "Xiao Yan doesn't have to be polite. ”
