The sky is high and the clouds are light, the sunlight is sprinkled on the mountain rocks like a layer of golden light, and the study room surrounded by mountains is quiet and quiet.

Alin Muran stood outside the study, his body immovable and integrated with the mountain rocks piled up over there.

In the study, Chen and Li Zhihuai sat opposite each other.

The atmosphere was as if the surroundings were stagnant, and even the wind that had just blown the window had stopped at this time.

"Master, are you saying that Lord Yan is not here for my father?"

Chen's eyebrows were worried, his expression was uncertain, and the handkerchief in his hand was pinched and pinched, and it was already wrinkled.

Li Zhihuai touched the armrest with his right hand, and it felt cold and hard to the touch.

"As far as I know, Lord Yan also came to Gwangju two years ago." "If he said he did, he should have come two years ago, so why wait." ”

"And Lord Yan is a person who is a little interested in advantages and avoids disadvantages, and Lord Shao doesn't like him because of this, so I don't see him."

"My father-in-law is deceased, and there is no interest for him, so there is no reason to come to the house to visit because of this matter, and there is ......"

Li Zhihuai was silent, "I looked at the subordinate who followed him, it was a little unusual." ”

Every time he looked at the man, he could feel his scrutiny and suspicion, and that gaze was like a snake staring at a person with a letter spitting out a letter, which made people's scalps tingle, and he was afraid that he would become the object of his hunting.

"Then, the old man is ......suspicious," Chen asked, his voice trembling, not daring to say the next words.

"Yes." Li Zhihuai looked at her, "I suspect that they are here to find you, or to see you." ”

Generally speaking, looking for a person is no different from looking at a person, because the result is the same, and they are meeting people.

But when you think about it, it's still very different.

Looking for a person may be because of what you want to do, or what you want this person to do, and looking at a person has only one purpose.

It's the person's appearance.

Chen gasped, and his face suddenly turned pale.

The mind seemed empty, there were no sounds, no things, a blank space, so empty that people felt that everything around them was not real.

Until a calm voice pulled her back.

"Madame, don't worry, this matter is just my speculation."

Li Zhihuai stretched out his hand and patted her shoulder to appease, "What's more, no one knows what happened back then, if they can't find evidence, they can't say anything, now that the eldest brother and Ye'er are both officials in the capital, they will also weigh and weigh things, and they don't dare to come nonsense." ”

"If so, it would be fine." Chen grabbed his hand and held it, sighing, "Actually, I'm not worried about me, I'm worried about ......"

"Master, madam, Escort Xue has arrived."

At the door, Arin whispered, interrupting their conversation.

"Let him in." Li Zhihuai coughed.

Chan hurriedly withdrew his hand and put it on the armrest.

"Squeak", Xue Yan pushed the door in, and then Alin closed the door, and Mu Mu's expression was a little firm.

"What is Lord Li looking for me?"

Xue Yan lowered his slender eyes, bowed his hand, and then straightened his shoulders and back.

Li Zhihuai beckoned him to sit down and slowly told him about today's events.

"Now that your master is gone, there are some things we can't do, and we have to rely on you." He said, pouring him a cup of tea.

"You go and check that subordinate next to Lord Yan and see who he is."

If that person is just a subordinate, that's fine, if not, you should have planned ahead.

"Yes."

Xue Yan said calmly, ready to retreat, but Li Zhihuai called him again.

"If you can't find this person, come back quickly, and remember not to startle the snake."

"That person is very vigilant, and if he is not careful, he will be discovered."

"It's better to be careful."

Li Zhihuai looked at him and admonished.

……

……

It's night.

Quietly, it was pitch black.

The shadows under the moon were on the wall, the stars were sprinkled among the flowers, and a figure jumped by.

Xue Yan was dressed in black, and his whole person was hidden in the night, and a wisp of green silk on his sideburns was slightly raised, and he hung down peacefully.

Walking to a window, he leaned down and leaned against the wall.

Inside, the lights were dark, and there was no sound.

After lying in this place for a long time, he almost merged with the moonlight.

At this time, the sound suddenly sounded, and the chaotic footsteps gradually became clear, and then the lights in the room turned on, and through the window lay on the ground to form a circle of light.

"What's so crazy about that guy surnamed Yao? Act like a snob! ”

The people inside cursed and slammed the door, trying to show their anger.

There was a snort from time to time between his words.

"It's not a lackey yet, it's a dog who can't even do things now!"

"Does he dare to go directly to the door, he doesn't have to let me take it! If I told Lee that he had gone to his hometown in Gwangju to find someone without a name, he would be angry! ”

"Just let me help, you dare to threaten me, if you know that I won't help him, see how he goes to the Li Mansion to find someone!"

Another soft voice comforted: "Your Excellency, don't be angry, he Yao Pu is not as good as before in front of His Highness, when His Highness is disgusted with him, your chance will come." ”

When Yan Huaduan heard this, he stroked his beard and smiled: "Yes, I can't afford to offend him for the time being, it doesn't mean that it will be the same in the future." Now I'll bow his head first, and then he'll step on him hard when he falls! ”

He spoke so viciously that it was difficult to think of the sad look of Lord Li when he mentioned that he said those words in the Li Mansion.

Xue Yan listened indifferently, his expression was unwavering, and he seemed to have a clear understanding of the inconsistencies between people's appearances and appearances.

When he heard the sound of human snoring like thunder, he lowered his eyes and disappeared into the grass with a leap.

Stepping on the night, Xue Yan returned to the house and went directly to Li Zhihuai's study.

At this time, Li Zhihuai was still flipping through the file under the lamp, his eyebrows were serious.

With the sound of rolling, the candle flame shook slightly, and gradually returned to calm.

"Master Lee." Xue Yan entered the house.

Li Zhihuai put down the file and sat him down.

"How's it going?" He asked.

Xue Yan shook his head and said, "That person is no longer by his side, I heard that that person's name is Yao Pu." ”

"Yao Pu?" Li Zhihuai stood up, a little panicked, "It's really Yao Pu?" ”

Hearing Xue Yan's "um" answer, he began to walk back and forth in the room, sparks swaying with the wind as he walked, and even the light on Xue Yan's face was dim and bright.

"They really came to Gwangju, they went all the way south, in order to find someone, but now they haven't found anyone, but they have found out about it."

Li Zhihuai said in his mouth, reaching out and rubbing the file on the table, trying to ease the uneasiness in his heart.

"It seems that what can't be avoided is not able to be avoided after all."

"I've written to ask your master to come back, and I'm more relieved to have him here."

"Xue Yan, you should also pay more attention on weekdays, if there is any abnormality, inform me in time."

He paused, and then looked at Xue Yan again: "Also, remember to protect Yun'er, she is my favorite daughter." ”

Xue Yan's expression moved, and he slowly lowered his head.

"It won't be like this anymore."

He said, "My master wouldn't let that happen." ”
