The sun had set, the room was dark, and a hazy figure stood in front of the window, with a slender posture, even if he couldn't see his face clearly, Zhang You still recognized the identity of the other party at a glance, it was Li Yan who had not been seen for many days.

"Busy enough, Zicheng, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

Li Yan said with a smile, for some reason, Zhang You felt a trace of tiredness in her voice, and at the same time he was a little strange, since he had been here for a long time, why didn't Wang Jiaojiao mention it just now?

"I'm just busy, but aunt, I haven't seen you for a few days, what are you busy with?"

"I've been back to the dining room ...... fort" Li Yan's voice was low, and she stopped talking. Zhang You hurriedly asked, "Is there something going on in the sect?" ”

The Bitian Temple, the main altar of the Huangtian Sect, is in the Wanquan Dining Fort, which is because Zhang You asked.

"My eldest sister has ascended, and now the leader of the sect is taken over by my second sister, when the eldest sister was still alive before, she once said that after she sat down, I would take over as the leader, who knows...... That's good, I'm not good at that, and it's good to be a Dharma protector easily. ”

Li Yan said quietly, her eyes fell on the window, her tone was very strange, and her voice seemed to come from the sky.

Zhang You was very puzzled, the sect leader died, and he was still Li Yan's own sister, why should he stay for a few more days, right? Why did she come back so soon?

However, he quickly guessed the reason, it must have involved a power struggle, and the reason why the second sister Li Yan was able to take over as the head of the sect was simply a fake legacy, and even the former sect leader suddenly sat down, maybe it was related to her.

My aunt must have suffered a lot of grievances, right? If it was really as she expected, she would have experienced a lot of danger when she returned to the dining room this time.

In the final analysis, it was the power that blamed, and he didn't ask any further, because he felt that in Li Yan's heart, the experience of these days must be an unbearable nightmare, otherwise, she would not be so depressed.

"It's good to come back, in fact, even if you don't even protect the Yellow Heaven Sect, I can guarantee that you can live well." Zhang You took two steps forward and walked to Li Yan's side, hesitated, and reached out on the other party's shoulder: "Don't be foolish, everything has me." ”

Li Yan's body stiffened, and her originally desolate heart suddenly warmed: "Hug me, okay?" ”

As soon as the words came out, the two of them were stunned at the same time.

Zhang You was the first to come back to his senses, reached out and grabbed Li Yan's shoulders, opened his arms, and hugged her into his arms without hesitation.

"Zicheng, don't get me wrong, I'...... I don't mean anything else, I just want to find someone to lean on......"

Li Yan said like a dream, she was a little unaccustomed to it at first, but after saying this, as if she had put down some shackles, she reached out and hugged Zhang You's waist and rested her head on his shoulder.

Very pure hug, Zhang You did not take the opportunity to take advantage, the two hugged each other tightly, the night became dark, and gradually completely engulfed the two, until--

"Young master, it's time for dinner, young master, are you in the house?"

Wang Jiaojiao's voice suddenly came from the courtyard, Zhang You and Li Yan were separated like an electric shock, Li Yan pushed Zhang You violently, and said in a very low volume: "Go quickly, don't say I'm here." ”

Zhang You smiled bitterly, isn't it just a comforting hug, how can it be like cheating?

"It's coming, it's confused, it's coming out." casually walked out with nonsense, and when he arrived at the door, Zhang You subconsciously glanced back, but found that Li Yan's figure was no longer in place, but there was a "creaking" sound from the back window.

……

As soon as dawn Zhang You was awakened by Mary's voice, put on his clothes and got up, and as soon as he opened the door of the house, Mary rushed over: "Lord Earl, Lord Earl, great, I really found a way to stabilize the properties of concrete......"

Behind her, the porter smiled wryly and spread his hands, looking helpless.

Zhang You waved his hand to signal that the porter could retreat, and at the same time interrupted Mary: "Wait a minute, is this the way you found?" ”

"Uh...... I'm so happy, you must have found it, Lord Earl! As she spoke, Mary suddenly hugged Zhang You and kissed him on the face.

The porter had not gone far, and just turned around, and when he saw this situation, he was so frightened that he stumbled and almost fell into a.

Zhang You didn't misunderstand, but his heart flickered: "By the way, Mary, are you interested in going to Miyun with me?" ”

"Miyun?" Mary was stunned: "Isn't it imperative that concrete be mass-produced right away?" This invention should be of epoch-making significance for the history of architecture? ”

"Of course, it has to be produced in large quantities, but this thing is too polluting, so it can't be produced in Beijing...... Don't ask me what pollution means? The concrete is so fine, once it is produced, it will definitely cause a miasma of smoke, and besides, don't you want to build a building comparable to the Roman Colosseum? I'm going to give you a chance to practice your hands first. ”

"Oh? What chances? Mary no longer struggled with the new term that Zhang You came up with by chance, but her eyes lit up and she put on a vigorous look.

Zhang You deliberately sold Guanzi: "Don't ask first, you'll know when you get to Miyun." "But I was thinking in my heart, how can a dense cloud without a reservoir be called a dense cloud? Let me build the Miyun Reservoir in advance.

Mary was about to ask, but Zhang You had already walked outside the courtyard, and at the same time turned back and ordered: "You hurry back and prepare, and we will set off later." ”

This was Zhang You's sudden decision, and as soon as he told Li Shuo, Li Shuo immediately said, "Didn't you just come back a few days ago?" Why are you going again? ”

Zhang You glanced at Wang Jiaojiao's mother, who was wiping the table next to him, and muttered a few words in Li Shuo's ear, Li Shuo suddenly realized, and pointed at him with a smile...... You have to rush Your Majesty to do this, you can't always hide from ...... Forget it, go, go, if I enter the palace one day, I'll talk to the Queen Mother......"

"Don't, Your Majesty has told you thousands of times, if you tell the Queen Mother, Your Majesty must kill me...... Let's do this first, take one step at a time, it just so happens that I have something to do when I go to Miyun. ”

Li Shuo nodded helplessly: "Okay, let it be." After a pause, he said: "Go to Miyun this time and let Lan Qi accompany you, you are not small, if you are really ...... Well, go for it! ”

Zhang You understood what Li Shuo meant, and when he saw her blushing, he also felt embarrassed, so he hurriedly retreated, and when he passed by Wang Jiaojiao's mother, he didn't forget to nod at her.

Because of taking Lan Qi and Mary, so the journey was not fast, and by the time Miyun was about to be noon, the two women had already been arguing and hungry, and when they saw a tavern in front of them, Zhang You simply stopped and jumped off the horse first.

A shopkeeper had already greeted him, shouting at the top of his voice, "Old customers are coming...... and then lowered his voice and smiled: "A few masters, eat or fight?" We have a good daughter red, and a freshly cooked sauce elbow......"

"Feel free to eat, don't be verbose, lead our horses down and feed them first, use good black beans, and settle accounts together later."

There were not many people in the tavern, Zhang You wanted a private seat, but suddenly heard someone seem to mention the word "missing", so he suddenly changed his mind and said to the shopkeeper: "Just that table, it sounds very lively, maybe you can see it for a long time!" ”

The shopkeeper frowned: "Are you sure?" ”
