However, even Zhong Daxuan, who has always felt wooden, can clearly perceive the hypocrisy behind this gaze and smile.

At this moment, Zhong Daxuan couldn't help but recall his previous life in the Heavenly Empire's Fuling Jinhong Water Heart Fort. Although the people there have unique personalities and go their own way, at least there will always be people who will treat him as family. Unlike here, Zhong Daxuan always feels that he is excluded, and of course he will inevitably be excluded here.

It is also strange to say that since Zhong Daxuan came to Qi Kingdom, he has always recalled from time to time the time when he was in the Heavenly Empire's Fuling Jinhong Water Heart Fort.

Zhong Daxuan thought: Maybe in my life, I will recall the time when I was in Jinhong Water Heart Fort from time to time! Because the year I lived in Jinhong Water Heart Fort was the happiest day of my life; Because in that year, I felt clearly that I was loved.

This feast in the Hefen Hall invisibly deepened Zhong Daxuan's inferiority complex, and also deepened his idea yesterday - in fact, there is still a distance between him and Yu Yin.

The sixteenth year of Kunqian, the eleventh day of the winter month, the winter solstice, the nineteenth.

In the Heavenly Empire Fuling City, on Jinhong Street, in the main house of Shuixin Fort, last night just sent away the hundred miles of medicine that went out to collect medicine, and most of the people in the fort were still asleep this morning.

In the early morning of this day, when everyone in Jinhong Shuixin Fort was still immersed in a sweet sleep, in the study room of the Vientiane Hall in the front yard of the fort, Shu Yan, who was the current head of the Xushi Hall, had already gotten up and lay down on the bookcase to deal with the affairs of the hall.

Having said that, in the past, when Shu Yan was still the housekeeper of Jinhong Shuixin Fort, he would get up so early every day. It's just that after Shu Yan, the housekeeper at that time, got up, he was in the side building of Jian Zeyuan to deal with the affairs of the castle; And the current head of the hall, Shu Yan, got up and handled the affairs of the hall in the study of Vientiane Hall.

For Shu Yan, regardless of the level of the position, the size of the power, or the advantages or disadvantages of the environment, it is just that the mood has changed and changed.

Although the days are busy now, Shu Yan finally managed to get out of the confusion and get rid of the confusion smoothly, thanks to Tian Guan's secret help and Yu Yin's pointing out the way, so that Shu Yan strode towards a new life full of hope.

In the silence of this cold winter, beside the warm stove with a faint fire, Shu Yan, dressed in cotton clothes, was engrossed in busyness.

However, at this moment, a violent knock on the gate of Jinhong Water Heart Fort woke up the sweet dreams of everyone in the fort, and of course it also disturbed Shu Yan, who was engrossed.

When Shu Yan heard the sound, he immediately got up, picked up a coat and draped it on his body, and hurried to the main hall of Vientiane Hall.

A moment later, just as Shu Yan was about to raise his hand to open the door of the main hall of Vientiane Hall, as the sound of hurried footsteps outside the door stopped abruptly, Shu Yan heard a rapid knock in his ears; And this time it was not the door of Jinhong Water Heart Fort that was knocked, but the door of the main hall of Vientiane Hall in front of Shu Yan at this moment.

Shu Yan, who was standing in front of the door of the main hall of Vientiane Hall, was stunned for a moment when he heard the sound, and then suddenly opened the door in front of him.

Because Shu Yan answered the door too quickly, the knocker who did not have any psychological preparation was Li Yandong, and almost fell into the main hall of the Vientiane Hall. Fortunately, as the head of the guard, Li Durham was agile and powerful at his feet, so he was able to stand firmly.

"You must have heard the noise, right? Master Shu. Li Rendong asked Shu Yan straight to the point.

When Shu Yan heard this, he knew that Li Honeysuckle was referring to the violent sound of knocking on the gate of Jinhong Water Heart Castle.

So, I only heard Shu Yan say without anger: "Such a loud noise, you can't hear it if you want to!" It's early in the morning, and I don't know who is slamming the door! ”

When Li Yandong heard this, he immediately reported the situation outside the gate of Jinhong Shuixin Fort at this moment, and reported to Shu Yan one by one: "Master Shu, there are many officers and soldiers outside the fort gate, and the leader is a person dressed as a military attaché, and it is his subordinates who slam the door. ”

"Military attaché? Isn't it a civil official? Shu Yan suddenly asked Li Yandong in surprise.

"It's not a civilian official, it's a military attaché's dress, and I heard the soldier who smashed the door call him 'Captain Jin'!" Li Rendong replied truthfully.

"Hey, it's just a school captain! I thought it was the Prime Minister of the Celestial Empire who came in person! Shu Yan said casually, and then continued to ask Li Rendong, "Then do they have any explanations?" ”

"No, they just said they wanted to meet you." Li Rongdong replied.

"Can they say by name that they want to meet me, Shu Yan?" Shu Yan asked Li Rongdong.

"No, they just said that they wanted to meet the head hall master of the Void and Reality Hall." Li Rongdong replied.

"It seems that this Captain Jin doesn't know my surname! I've never heard of him either, so I don't know he came down from the battlefield. Shu Yan analyzed and speculated.

"That's not necessarily, Master Shu, maybe he's just a small soldier on the battlefield! After all, you can't know and remember everyone. Li Rongdong analyzed and speculated.

"Having said that, how could a person who was only an inconspicuous soldier until the end of the war be a captain in the future? Although the position of lieutenant is not high, it is not something that can be easily done by a random soldier! Shu Yan analyzed in depth.

"That's right." Li Rongdong agreed.

"Hey, forget it, it doesn't matter how he became a lieutenant! The soldiers are coming, the water is coming, you welcome that Captain Jin into the front yard, and when I am fully dressed, I will go out to meet him, and see what their intentions are. As for all his men, let them wait outside the fort, and let none of them in without my orders; If they don't agree, then simply let that Captain Jin wait outside the fort. If they dare to use force, honeysuckle you should know how to do it. Shu Yan methodically gave orders to Li Yandong.

"Yes, Master Shu." The comprehension of the strong honeysuckle responded.

Seeing Li Durham after receiving the order, he immediately turned around and ran towards the gate of the fort to deal with the difficult officers and soldiers outside the gate.

Shaoqing, when the neatly dressed Shu Yan walked out of the Vientiane Hall, he happened to meet Bai Liwei, who was awakened by the sound of slamming the door and hurried from the backyard to inspect the situation.

"What's going on? Geese. As soon as Bai Liwei saw Shu Yan, he subconsciously asked.

"Second master, just now Honeysuckle came to report that there was a captain surnamed Jin from outside the fort gate, and he also brought a group of officers and soldiers by the way, and he almost smashed the gate of this Jinhong Water Heart Fort! These bullies! Shu Yan joked with Bai Liwei while venting his resentment.

"And what about now?" Bai Liwei asked Shu Yandao.

"Just now, I asked Li Rongdong to welcome the person who was the leader, that is, the captain surnamed Jin, into the front yard alone. Looking at this empty courtyard now, it is not difficult to guess that Captain Jin definitely did not dare to come in alone, and must have wanted to take his subordinates into this Jinhong Water Heart Fort together. He thought it was beautiful! Let him dream! Did he think that just a random person could enter the Jinhong Water Heart Fort and spread wild? Shu Yan became more and more excited and introduced to Bai Liwei.

"As the saying goes, 'those who come are not good, and those who are good are not coming', it seems that we can only act at the opportunity, and see the move." Baili said to Shu Yan worriedly.

"At the moment, it seems that this can only be the case, fortunately, the young master and others are no longer in this Jinhong Water Heart Castle; If not, with his tacit and sensitive identity, I don't know how many disasters he will provoke for no reason? Shu Yan said to Bai Liwei with deep gratification.

When Shu Yan and Bai Liwei arrived at the gate of Jinhong Shuixin Fort, the enemy and us had not yet started a war and were still in a stalemate.

Shu Yan looked at Jinhong Street in front of him, and saw that the straight and wide Jinhong Street in front of him was full of heavily armed officers and soldiers. As Li Yandong just reported, the leader on the tall horse was dressed as a military attaché.

"Yo, this battle is really bluffing!" Shu Yan couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

At this moment, although what Shu Yan said in his mouth was as witty and relaxed as Fang Cai, his heart still trembled involuntarily. After all, with the current strength of Jinhong Water Heart Fort, it is difficult to compete with the current situation in front of him.

I only heard Shu Yan take the lead in speaking and greeted Captain Jin on the horse: "Looking at the costume, this must be the famous Captain Jin!" ”

"Yes, the official's surname is Jin, and the official worships the captain, who are you?" Captain Jin asked Shu Yandao condescendingly and arrogantly.

"Captain Jin, my surname is Shu, and my single name is the word 'goose', which is exactly the master of the Xushi Hall that you want to meet. However, I originally planned to talk to you alone in the front yard of our Jinhong Water Heart Fort, but I don't know why you refused to go in? Shu Yan asked knowingly.

When Captain Jin heard this, he wanted to complain to Shu Yan about Li Rendong and said, "This official wants to ......"

However, before Captain Jin could get to the point, Shu Yan deliberately interrupted him, and then continued his topic and said: "Captain Jin, it's okay if you don't want to enter our Jinhong Water Heart Fort, if you want to talk here, then let's just talk here, and it's spacious!" If you look around here, isn't it very spacious? Honestly, it's a lot bigger than the front yard I want to invite you into! ”

"No more nonsense! Since you have already admitted that you are the head of the Xushi Hall, then you have to bring the old and young clansmen of the Jinhong Shuixin Baili family and return to the imperial capital with us to wait for trial! Captain Jin drank straight to the point.

"Yo, Captain Kim, have you always spoken so tactfully and subtly? He even said that the escort awaiting trial was like a leisurely tour. Shu Yan also pointed out sharply.

"Master Shu, this official is also acting on orders, and I hope you must cooperate!" Captain Jin said to Shu Yan in a hidden way.
