"That's it." He shook his head helplessly, "I did follow Xu Lingjie, but he didn't know." ”

He looked at Tong Yan calmly, and he couldn't see any emotion.

Tong Yan was inexplicably a little timid, she cleared her throat, raised her chin slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell others." ”

Everyone was originally a grasshopper on a rope, if she said it, wouldn't she be exposed?

Cheng Huai stared at her for a long time, and just when Tong Yan couldn't bear it anymore and secretly swallowed his saliva, he nodded with a smile on his face.

The room was silent for a moment, the door was wide open, and a gust of wind swept in, bringing in one or two leafy green leaves.

Tong Yan still remembered the little novice who was poisoned, she quietly glanced at Cheng Huai, who was in a trance, and tentatively said, "That little novice ......"

It was silent, Cheng Huai didn't seem to hear it, and even his eyelashes didn't move.

Just when Tong Yan thought he wouldn't answer, and retracted her gaze, a deep voice suddenly sounded, "That little novice was hit by a poison called Gu in Southern Xinjiang, so he was able to control the time of his death so accurately." ”

"Gu?" Tong Yan was confused.

"That's a kind of secret technique in southern Xinjiang, a female worm, a subworm, the person who casts the Gu controls the female worm, and the person who controls it is planted with a subworm, as long as the female worm dies, the subworm will definitely die, and the subworm is dead, but the female worm will not die." Cheng Huai explained.

Tong Yan blinked, "That means that the subworm is dead, and the person who has been planted Gu can't live?" Just like that little novice. ”

"Yes." His face was a little serious.

Tong Yan frowned suspiciously, puzzled, "The person who went down to Gu is from Southern Xinjiang?" Why did he harm Princess Anle? I haven't heard of anyone from southern Xinjiang coming to this capital. ”

Cheng Huai stared at the dark night outside, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, no longer as gentle as the water in the past, and there was a bit of cynicism and evil.

I only heard him whisper to himself, "The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings." ”

Tong Yan looked at him like this and couldn't help but be stunned. It wasn't until a moment later that he looked away, recalling what he had said.

What does it mean that the mountain rain is coming and the wind is full of buildings?

What will the coming mountain rain be?

Tong Yan didn't ask, she lowered her eyes.

"I'm hungry." Cheng Huai regained his gentle smile, looked at Tong Yan gently, and said, "I'm going to find something to eat, do you want to eat?" ”

Tong Yan raised her head and looked at him with wide eyes.

The dignified prince of Wei Guo, do you still have to find something to eat by yourself? Besides, it's so late, where is there anything to eat?

He smiled brightly, stood up and strode out two steps, looked back at the dazed Tong Yan, blinked an eye, and said, "Don't you go?" ”

Tong Yan only felt that her heart was numb, nodded in a panic, followed him, and almost tripped over the door frame in a hurry.

With a snort, Cheng Huai, who was walking in front, seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and even made fun of her.

Tong Yan, who was angry and annoyed, glared at him with bulging cheeks, hum, no wonder so many little girls like him, it turned out that this guy did it on purpose, but fortunately she was smart and witty, so she wouldn't fall for his beauty.

Yun Xiang and Qingzhi were standing at the door waiting for her, and when they saw her and Cheng Huai walking out, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

Tong Yan sent the two of them back first, Yun Xiang was very obedient, Qingzhi frowned, glanced at Cheng Shizi, and whispered to Tong Yan, "County Lord, it's dark this day, it's not good." ”

Qingzhi's reaction was expected by her, and if Qingzhi didn't worry about it, it would be strange.

"Don't worry, I'll be back in a while, and Cheng Shizi will send me back." Tong Yan grinned and took a lantern from Qingzhi's hand.

Where can Qingzhi say no, seeing the county lord jumping up and down, she followed Cheng Shizi, and she muttered in place, "But it's not good to be a lonely man and a widow." ”

But Tong Yan can't hear it anymore, she doesn't want to stay in that small courtyard for a long time, and the calligraphy she brought is all over again, and there is nothing fun to do, maybe she will have to stay here for a few days.

Fortunately, along the way, except for a few monks with drooping eyes, they didn't meet anyone else, so there was a lot less trouble.

Neither of them spoke, and walked silently one after the other, very quiet.

Cheng Huai turned around and took her to an inconspicuous courtyard, the house inside was wide open, the lights were bright, and the stove in the house could be seen standing at the door of the courtyard, and the strange thing was that there was not even a figure in the quiet.

After Tong Yan walked in, Cheng Huai directly closed the courtyard door.

"Why are you closing?" Tong Yan asked inexplicably.

"Shh Cheng Huai asked her to be quiet, "Don't disturb others."

Tong Yan was even more confused, did she ask her not to disturb others, or was she afraid of disturbing others?

She nodded and whispered, "Why is there no one with the lights on?" ”

"Naturally, it was to welcome me, so it was very self-aware to light up." Cheng Huai is serious.

Tong Yan glanced at him disdainfully, he was really arrogant.

She jumped into the kitchen, and found that the stove here was very clean, and the dishes were also complete, but there was nothing to eat directly, she lifted the lid of the pot and took a look, it was also clean, and there was no soup.

"What do you eat if you don't have anything to eat?" Tong Yan smiled and raised her chin.

It was a bit of a schadenfreude.

Cheng Huai sighed, looked at Tong Yan pitifully and said, "I thought there would be leftover dinner, it seems that I will be hungry all night." ”

Tong Yan looked at him suspiciously, this guy didn't want her to cook him something to eat, right?

"Well, forget it, let's go." He sighed again and walked out with his legs raised.

"I'll make some simple porridge, do you want to eat it?" Tong Yan still compromised.

Cheng Huai paused, turned around, his eyes were full of hesitation, and said slowly, "Won't this be too troublesome for you?" ”

Tong Yan's heart softened, "Don't bother, it'll be fine soon." ”

She took a large bowl and scooped up the rice.

Cheng Huai looked at her from the side, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Actually, I'm hungry all night, and it's nothing." ”

Tong Yan poured the washed rice into the pot, picked up a few greens and carrots to wash, and glanced at him, "You make a fire, what are you doing here?" ”

"Okay." Cheng Huai simply responded, found a piece of flint, and squatted in front of the stove to light a fire.

Soon, the whole house was filled with white porridge mixed with the fragrance of vegetables.

Tong Yan opened the lid, stirred it with a spoon, dripped two drops of sesame oil, and added some salt, this fragrance made her, a well-fed person, hungry.

She went and fetched two bowls, one full and one half-filled.

"Now." She handed the bowl of porridge to Cheng Huai, "Reluctantly use it, coarse tea and light rice." ”

Cheng Huai looked very happy, his eyes were full of smiles, he took it, looked at the porridge in the bowl and said, "Coarse tea and light rice are full, not to mention that when people are hungry, everything is delicious." ”

What does it mean to look at everything delicious, this porridge is already delicious, okay, Tong Yan is not happy.

He tasted a spoonful and nodded appreciatively, "It's not bad, the county lord has good craftsmanship." ”

"That's pretty much it." Tong Yan muttered quietly and tasted it too, she narrowed her eyes, well—it was delicious!
