Chapter 42: Assassination in the White Day
Yan Chengyi sighed and said slowly, "I don't know how to be sensible in Nanwan, but is the Yan family really going to get involved in the battle for the crown prince?"
"Since it can't be avoided, why not let the Yan family become a sharp sword, which can kill the enemy when you advance, and protect yourself when you retreat. ”
"What do you mean......"
Yan Nanchen opened the teacup, dipped his fingers in some tea, wrote the words "waiting for the opportunity" on the table, and looked at Yan Chengyi, "This time is different from the past, Daddy should know that the emperor's several princes are not bad compared with the prince, and there are even one or two who have been better." ”
Yan Chengyi nodded, "Yes, the court seems to be calm now, but it has already been turbulent in secret. ”
"So if you want to keep the Yan family, you must have chips in your hands. ”
"Let me think about it, you go and see your sister. Yan Chengyi waved his hand tiredly.
Yan Nanchen took a deep look at Yan Chengyi, nodded, and walked out of the study. Standing in the courtyard outside, he looked up at the sky, smiled, and went to Yan Nanwan's courtyard.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he only saw Twilight Shu and Feng Suo in the yard, Feng Suo carried a bucket to water the flowers, Twilight Shu was disgusted on the side, but there was a smile in his eyes, he said gently, "Where did Nan Wan go?"
The two of them turned around in unison, and Twilight replied, "The Seventh Prince went out with the young lady." ”
Yan Nanchen nodded, "Can you do as I said?"
"It's all said. Twilight replied respectfully.
What she is most afraid of in the entire Yan Mansion is this young master, who looks warm as jade all day long, and is comfortable to get along with, but the coldness that is unintentionally revealed makes people feel cold.
After Yan Nan had breakfast in the evening, he was pulled out of Yan Mansion by Xue Yan.
Yan Nanwan looked at Xue Yan and asked dissatisfiedly, "Is there something wrong with the Seventh Prince taking me out?"
"Naturally. Let's go to Dali Temple first to see the body found in Liucun. ”
Yan Nanwan stopped, "You brought me to investigate the case in Liu Village?"
Xue Yan smiled and nodded, "Yesterday, I entered the palace and told my father about the thieves in Beijing, and my father urged me to find out about the matter of Liucun as soon as possible. I don't know how to investigate the case, so naturally I have to help later. ”
When Yan Nan heard this, he remembered the recent incident that Xue Yan helped him block, as well as the punishment that he avoided for you this morning, and felt that he should help him and repay him a favor.
"Okay, I'll check it for you, but only this one case. She opened her mouth to ask for a guarantee, to be honest, she was really a little afraid that Xue Yan would pull her as soon as there was any case in the future.
Xue Yan raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Go to Dali Temple first, Qin Zhao will be in a hurry for a while, and it will be time to come again." ”
Yan Nanwan heard him call Qin Zhao waste, and the corners of his mouth twitched fiercely, he really dared to say it.
Since Qin Zhao took office as the secretary of Dali Temple, I don't know how many cases have been solved, and they have become waste in his mouth.
Turn another alley and arrive at Dali Temple, Yan Nanwan followed behind Xue Yan with small steps, thinking about the clues he found in Liucun last time. While thinking, he heard something break through the air behind him, and took two steps to the side.
Xue Yan, who was walking in front, also heard the sound, turned around and saw an arrow coming quickly, and leaned back to dodge the arrow.
The two of them glanced at each other, secretly accumulating internal strength, and their eyes swept around. Turning this alley is Dali Temple, so there is no bustle in the market, and now there is no one else except for the two.
"Since you're here, you might as well come out and meet me!" Xue Yan said uninhibitedly, "This prince also wants to know who wants to rob me of my late son, and he wants to kill me so early." ”
Yan Nanwan glanced at him, and he still had the heart to joke at this time.
She could feel that there were at least thirty people here, and all of them were extraordinary, and it was really a tough battle, "Where did Ling Sheng go?"
"You didn't like him bothering us last night, so I sent him away. ”
"Then do you have any other secret guards around you?" I heard that every prince will privately cultivate his own secret guards, and Xue Yan shouldn't have any!
"I'm just a guard, where is the secret guard. Xue Yan was still smiling proudly.
Yan Nanwan was dead, she originally planned not to do it today, but it seems that she can't do it if she doesn't do it.
More than thirty men in black came out and surrounded the two of them.
Xue Yan sneered, dusted off his red-clothed robe, and started without saying a word.
Yan Nanwan also had to join the melee.
Since she got involved with Xue Yan, she hasn't had a good day.
Xue Yan took out a soft sword from his waist and threw it to Yan Nanwan, "Wan'er, then, don't show mercy to your subordinates." My sword is unsheathed, and it must see blood. ”
Yan Nanwan jumped up, caught the sword thrown by Xue Yan, turned around and killed someone, looked at Xue Yan raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "I'm not good at stubble." ”
Xue Yan smiled, a flute sprang out of his sleeve, and with a slight turn, a sharp short sword appeared.
The two joined forces, and soon half of the thirty or so men in black remained.
Xue Yan's body jumped up slightly, flew in front of Yan Nanwan, stretched out his arm, and took her into his arms, "I'm tired, don't fight." After speaking, he took out a pack of medicinal powder from his arms, flew up with Yan Nanwan in his arms, and sprinkled the medicinal powder in the air with internal force.
The man in black hurriedly wanted to leave, but in the end he could only fall.
Listening to the sound of the corpse falling to the ground, Yan Nanwan looked at Xue Yan in disbelief, "Are you half-drunk with the poison?"
"Late is really well-informed. As he spoke, he took out a packet of medicinal powder from his arms, sprinkled it on the corpses, and disappeared in place with Yan Nanwan.
When he arrived at the gate of Dali Temple, Qin Zhao was already waiting, seeing the two coming, he hurriedly greeted him, "Seventh prince, princess." ”
Yan Nanwan was still holding the soft sword given by Xue Yan in his hand, and the soft sword was still dripping blood, Qin Zhao saw it and was shocked, "This...... What happened to the Seventh Prince?"
"It's okay, this prince and the princess are having fun. He took the sword in Yan Nanwan's hand, grabbed Qin Zhao's official uniform, wiped the blood on the sword, and withdrew it from his waist, "Let's go, go and see those corpses." ”
Qin Zhao glanced down at the official uniform and sighed, the little ancestor of the Seventh Prince really couldn't be provoked.
Yan Nanwan followed Xue Yan, entered Dali Temple, walked to his side, and asked in a low voice, "Where did you get your half-drunk?"
"Do you want it later?" Xue Yan turned his head and smiled brightly, "It's a pity that there isn't." ”
Yan Nan saw that she didn't get the answer she wanted, and she also knew that Xue Yan would not tell her easily. After all, half-drunk has disappeared from the world for decades, and now that it has appeared, it will not only cause a lot of turmoil.
Qin Zhao had already instructed the good people to prepare everything, and after Xue Yan and Yan Nan arrived late, the heads of the deceased were neatly placed on the table, and at a glance they were all heads, and she roughly estimated that there were at least more than a hundred people.
