Do the math, almost a month has passed since the day Ding'an set off for Bianliang, and Li Yan has long had no hope for it, but he didn't expect that Wang Xiaoqi suddenly came back, looking at his embarrassed appearance, he guessed that something must have happened.

Li Yan knew that it was not easy to make a noise, so he stopped Xiao Qi in time and dragged him to the back house, Song San also felt something strange and followed behind.

The old Taoist priest blinked his eyes and asked Sun Laoba, "Who is that little white face?" ”

Sun Laoba couldn't look down on these Jianghu warlocks, so he said angrily: "Which one?" ”

"It's the one in the green onion robe."

Sun Laoba looked at him in surprise and said, "You eat other people's food and drink other people's food, but you don't know other people, and you laugh at others." ”

The old Taoist priest's voice trembled: "Could it be that he is Li Yan?" ”

After speaking, he suddenly woke up, isn't it, the words of the people will be brought out, "I Li Yan can teach you", the old Taoist priest sighed, pulled Sun Laoba's sleeve and said:

"Eighth brother, you help the poor Dao count, a total of one hundred."

The old Taoist priest had weak legs, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed like a chicken running to broken rice.

……

Li Yan pulled Wang Xiaoqi into a side room, he just felt that this house was more secret, but he didn't know who lived in it, and all such things in the house were managed by Huanxi, and he never asked.

When you get into it, you regret it.

The furnishings in the house are simple, unusually neat, the floor is wiped clean and shining, the pale green bed is tied next to the two, and the reddish-brown quilts on the bed are neatly stacked, these are not the point, the point is that a hanger is pulled up with hemp rope in the middle of the room, and two embroidered red belly pockets are dried on the hanger, and a pair of white underwear embroidered with colorful phoenixes.

Apparently this is a girl's boudoir......

But the matter was urgent, and Li Yan didn't care a lot, so Song San closed the door tightly and asked, "What's the situation in Bianliang?" Why did you go for so long before you came back to report the news? ”

There was some complaint in his tone, thinking to himself, even if he didn't succeed, he should come back and tell me, so that he could make corresponding countermeasures, but he left for a month, and took away all his trusted brothers, leaving himself alone at home, and he was tricked around, if it wasn't for his fate, the body would not be found at this time.

The corners of Wang Xiaoqi's mouth twitched a few times, and he said aggrievedly: "Brother An, Xiaoqi almost can't see you." ”

Li Yan was taken aback, he could feel the dependence from Wang Xiaoqi, it was his dependence on Ju'an, such as the feeling of the younger brother being beaten and looking for the eldest brother for help.

"It's okay, don't cry, tell me what happened." Li Yan pulled over the only chair in the room and asked Xiao Qi to sit down, while he sat on the table with his butt cocked.

Xiao Qi wiped his tears and said: "Originally, it was very smooth when I went, it only took three days, and it was not far from Bianliang, according to your instructions, kill all the people of Hua Zixu, hide the birth gang in the nearby Xiawa Village, and then drive into Bianliang City." We stayed in an old store called Zhaoke, waiting for the Prime Minister's Mansion to open to receive gifts. Unexpectedly, Lai Zhao had already bought off the housekeeper in the Prime Minister's Mansion, set up a net to wait for us, and when we entered the mansion, dozens of people with strong martial arts were strung out, and without saying a word, they cut down on the brothers, and only seven of the dozens of brothers ran out, and they died too unjustly, Brother An! ”

Li Yan's heart tightened, and the dozens of brothers in his memory were all the closest people to Ju'an, no less than his own brothers, and he also said with a little sadness: "And then? ”

"Brother Ding'an took the people we ran out of back to Xiawa Village, and the brothers proposed to come back and think about it in the long run, but Brother Ding'an insisted on refusing, and he had to use Hua Zixu's ten carts of treasures to go to the door of Gaoyu, but he was really persuaded not to move, so I secretly came back to report the news, you should think of a way."

Li Yan suspiciously: "You ran back secretly?" Why didn't Ding'an take the initiative to send someone back to report the news? ”

"I don't know, probably Qi thinks he has messed things up, I'm embarrassed to see you."

Li Yan Zou frowned and said: "That's not the right time, today is more than half a month before the prime minister's birthday, you should have come back more than ten days ago, why is it delayed today?" ”

After hearing this, Wang Xiaoqi said even more sadly: "On the way back, I met the bandits of Shuibo Liangshan, who arrested me as a coolie, and I thought of my brother, so I risked my life to escape." ”

Li Yan's eyes flickered, and he looked at Zhang Xiaoqi and said, "Can you mention my Li Yan's name?" ”

"Who? Who is called Li Yan? ”

Li Yan sighed, this Ding'an's mouth was really strict, it seemed that he didn't know anything about his friendship with Liang Shan, patted him on the shoulder and said:

"You haven't eaten in the past few days, okay? Let's go to dinner with Brother Song first, then take a bath, sleep beautifully, relax our spirits, and we'll study it in detail tomorrow. ”

Wang Xiaoqi stood up, looked at Song San, who was like a god, and muttered, "Brother Song is so good and mighty, no less than the thief leader Chao Gai. ”

Chao Gai?

Li Yan shouted to Wang Xiaoqi and said, "Have you seen Chao Gai? ”

"I've been here in Liangshan for a long time, of course I've seen it, that guy has a nine-foot body, majestic, and it's not scary."

"Oh, when did you see it?"

Wang Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and said in an instant: "I escaped the night before yesterday, and I saw him practicing water thieves during the day. ”

Li Yan nodded, laughed and said, "Go ahead, tell Brother Song what you want to eat, take a good rest, and leave the rest to me." ”

The moment the door closed, Li Yan's expression froze instantly, and there was a hint of murder in his eyes.

Obviously, this Wang Xiaoqi was lying, and learned from Zhang Qing, the vegetable gardener, that King Chao Tianwang had died of illness a few days ago, how could he see it.

Once a person makes up a lie, he will be in a hurry to find some evidence to make the lie more true.

Wang Xiaoqi just wanted to move out of Chao Gai to make his lies more credible.

It's just unfortunate that Chao Gai died, and Li Yan even knew about this matter, I have to say that this probability is very small.

Not to mention that in ancient times when communication was not developed, even after a thousand years, a relatively famous person died in a neighboring county, and people in this county may not know about it.

Wang Xiaoqi would never have dreamed that the excuse he had carefully prepared would have such a big loophole.

This is clever but clever mistaken, he could have not said the last sentence.

Li Yan took a long breath, where did the ancient people come from so many intrigues and tricks, fortunately, the goddess of luck came again, otherwise I really don't know what kind of trap I would have gotten into, and who laid the trap......

The situation on Ding'an's side has become confusing again, and he doesn't believe a word of Wang Xiaoqi's words now, so he has to find a way to make him spit out the truth.

Is it torture or a policy of softness?

Li Yan kicked over the stool that Wang Xiaoqi had sat on in annoyance, fell down, lay on the table, closed his eyes and pondered, and his head ...... It's the underwear embroidered with Caifeng.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and a maid with a double ponytail walked in, humming a little song in her mouth, carrying a basin of water in her hand, and seemed to be in a good mood.

After closing the door, she saw a man lying on the table, staring at her underwear, and she exclaimed: "Splash skin!"

Then, he poured a basin full of water in his hand on Li Yan......
