Fluttershy doesn't understand why her girl doesn't let her tell why she asks again, but she nods honestly to say she's not lying.

After speaking, he saw that his girl no longer spoke, but her expression became as hesitant, uneasy, and solemn as during the day.

As if unconscious, he pinched his fingers and paced back and forth in the middle of the yard.

Fluttershy regrets this, she doesn't know if she said the wrong thing, so that the girl who was in a good mood just now became like this again.

looked at the night sky that had reached the middle of the moon, and said cautiously: "Girl, the night is already cold, let's go back to the house to rest." ”

Cui Yuyan looked at the sky, and then nodded as well.

"Okay. ”

......

Cui Yuyan didn't know at this time that in Liyang County, Jizhou, hundreds of miles away, there was something closely related to her, which was happening without her knowledge.

Time rewinds to the day, to before the storm in Liyang County.

On the official road under the low pressure of the black clouds, everyone in the caravan watched the handsome and almost bewitching knight suddenly hold the silk reins, and then turned around and walked slowly towards them.

At that moment, everyone in the caravan felt a little breathless, and the sweat on their foreheads couldn't stop dripping, but they didn't feel hot, but felt a little cold.

While the crowd was in a state of uneasiness, the knight suddenly spoke, "Where are you merchants?"

"The grass people have seen the official. ”

The young man who led the caravan was still a little courageous, stepped forward and bowed, and replied, "We are all from this state, and we go back and forth between Qishan County and Liyang County to do some small business.

I don't know ...... official."

He was about to ask, but the knight in the dark clothes interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "I'll ask you to answer." ”

"Yes. ”

The young man didn't dare to say more, so he honestly agreed.

Only then did the Xuanyi Knight ask indifferently again: "Since you are from this state, are you still familiar with this area?"

"This ......"

The young man hesitated.

Seeing this, the Xuanyi Knight couldn't help frowning, and the old man who was driving the car next to him saw this, and hurriedly picked up the conversation and said: "Back to the official, he is still young, and he is not very familiar with the geography along the way, but what the adults want to ask, the little old man should be able to answer." ”

"Good. ”

The Xuanyi Knight didn't care, and asked, "Then do you know that there is a Lin clan near here?"

Hearing that the Lin clan was in the middle of the line, the old man and the rest of the caravan were stunned.

The Xuanyi Knight noticed the change in everyone's expressions, and frowned slightly again, "What's the problem, I don't know about the Lin family?"

"No, no, no. ”

The old man hurriedly waved his hand and said: "The little old man in the Lin clan knows that there is a fork in the road not far ahead, and there is a Lin clan in the twenty miles south of the fork, but I don't know if it is the Lin clan you asked." ”

"Hmm. ”

The Xuanyi Knight looked at everyone coldly, "Since you know, when the official asked, why did you change your face and color?"

"This ......"

The old man hesitated when he heard this.

"Huh?"

The Xuanyi Knight snorted coldly, the old man's face changed, and he hurriedly bowed down and said, "Back to the official, the little old man has no other meaning, just because before you, the official, there was also a team of people who asked the Lin family.

Therefore, Xiao Lao'er and others have changed their face and color a little. ”

The Xuanyi Knight frowned when he heard this, and then asked, "Before us?"

Do you know who they are, how many of them there are, and when they passed?"

After asking a few questions in a row, although his voice was still flat, the old man felt that the temperature around him seemed to have dropped a little, and he couldn't help but shudder.

And the knights on the other horses also changed their expressions slightly, and even sat down on the war horses were slightly restless.

The old man was frightened in his heart, and he didn't dare to slack off at all, so he hurriedly replied: "Back to the official, I really don't know who is going, there are about dozens of people and horses, and it has not been long in the past, so it will only take about half a cup of tea." ”

The knights glanced at each other.

"Overseer, whether it is a thief or not, the person who is a thief also knows......"

Someone frowned.

The somewhat bewitching Xuanyi knight waved his hand and stopped the man: "Needless to say, everyone hurry up and catch up with them!"

"Whoa!"

Everyone responded together, and then shook the reins and shouted, "Drive~!"

Then, with the neighing of their horses, the knights swept away like flies again.

The knight didn't say anything more, just dropped something casually, and then left a sentence, "What you see today, don't spread it!"

In an instant, it was already a hundred steps away.

Seeing this, the merchants breathed a long sigh of relief, looked down, and their eyes couldn't help but light up.

What the knight dropped was actually a piece of gold leaf with a rather thick texture, which seemed to be worth two or three thousand dollars to say the least!

All the young people couldn't help but look at the old man with envy, especially the young man who didn't dare to speak halfway before, and couldn't help but regret it for a while.

"I didn't expect this usually criticized Fanzi official to be so generous!"

The old man was also a little excited, snorted, put it into his arms, but said with a cold face: "What kind of fortune, after it is broken in the city, you will have a share!"

Then he added: "No spreading!"

When everyone heard that they had a share, they were all excited and responded with a bang.

Two or three thousand dollars is not much, but it is a lot, and it is for nothing.

"Get on the road, get on the road!"

The old man urged angrily.

His eyes couldn't help but glance back, and he muttered in a low voice: "Then I'm afraid that the Lin clan will be robbed again......"

......

Lin's Li.

As the name suggests, just like Wangjia Village and Zhangjiatun in later generations of China, most of them are descendants of the Lin family.

When you enter the Lu Gate, you can see the stretch of the house, and at first glance it is really a big family.

However, a closer look reveals that many of the houses are dilapidated, and only some of them are still inhabited.

It was sparse and a little deserted.

At this time, the dense dark clouds also pressed heavily on this temporary lu, which made the people in the middle of the village, who had not seen rain for a long time, a little more happy.

Families were busy packing up their clothes and the few grains they had in front of and behind their houses.

is busy, but it makes this Lu seem a little angry.

At this time, in the depths of Luli, although dilapidated, you can still vaguely see some of the weather in the mansion.

An old man with a white beard was kneeling opposite a burly young man who looked a little similar to Cui Yuyan.

However, although this young man looks a little similar to Cui Yuyan, from his left eye to his right cheek, there is a slanted scar, which seems to have almost broken his entire face and nose in two.

made his originally handsome face look a little hideous.

"Xiaolang, are you really going to assassinate that Cui Xiangye?"

The old man asked in a somewhat solemn voice.

It's just that before he finished speaking, the young man opposite was stunned, and the scar on his face instantly swelled red.

"What Cui Xiangye, it's the Cui traitor!"
