Chapter 17: A Crisis of Confidence
"The county lord doesn't look very good," a familiar and disgusted voice sounded in Leng Yunyan's ears.
Looking at Yan Zhichu who jumped in from the window, Leng Yunyan didn't even have the heart to talk nonsense with him.
"What are you going to do?" The wind blew in through the window, and Leng Yunyan only felt very cold.
"I heard that the county lord is no longer good, as a partner, Yan naturally wants to make sure that if the county lord is really not good, Yan can only find someone else, and the county lord will not let Yan's interests be damaged."
Only a few people knew about her vomiting blood, and the news of Yan Zhichu might not come too quickly.
"Since you have this ability, what kind of cooperation do you seek with me" Leng Yunyan was very unhappy with this feeling of being watched.
"Then the county lord has misunderstood, since it is cooperation, Yan always has to ensure that the person who cooperates with Yan is a living person."
"Could it be that you are still ...... with the dead" Leng Yunyan's words stopped abruptly, and his eyes were cold at Shang Yan Zhichu's eyes, "What do you know?"
"The affairs of the people in the rivers and lakes, the taboos in the court are not as particular as they are in the rivers and lakes." Leng Yunyan clenched his fists, Yan Zhichu was right.
All along, she has set her sights on this court, and the direction of investigation is also aimed at these people, and she has never thought about the rivers and lakes.
But looking at which dignitaries and dignitaries have no connection with the rivers and lakes, she should have thought of it from the moment Yan Zhichu wanted to kill her. But after so many years, she never thought of investigating the rivers and lakes.
Yan Zhichu came and left quickly, who Yan Zhichu was, she also had to check carefully, she thought that he would definitely die, so she didn't take off his mask to see his true face, but who knew that the deadly ice butterfly actually failed.
This is simply incredible, for so many years, she has boasted of the miraculous effect of the ice butterfly, I don't know how many times she has used it to escape the death of the Jedi to kill, but now the appearance of Yan Zhichu tells her that her hole cards are useless.
So many years, how many people who should have died under the deadly ice butterflies have escaped death like Yan Zhichu.
Yan Zhichu has already appeared in front of him, and he has also talked about cooperation with him, even if the two of them have a fight, it is easy to dodge, but what about those who did not show up?
Leng Yunyan has always felt that she is already embattled, and this road will be extremely difficult for her.
Turning over the palm of his hand, it was the ice butterfly that appeared on the palm of his hand, but this ice butterfly had turned from crystal clear to red.
Leng Yunyan has killed too many people with it, looking at the current color of the ice butterfly, I am afraid that it will not live long, and the killer will always kill it, she knows this truth from the beginning when she decided to raise ice butterflies.
"Xiao Xue" Leng Yunyan called someone, put away the ice butterfly in his hand, and Xiao Xue, who heard the movement, came quickly.
"Master, are you uncomfortable?" Xiao Xue walked to the side of the bed and picked up Leng Yunyan, who was lying down.
Leng Yunyan's face was not good-looking, and that kind of sickly whiteness made her look lifeless.
"You go to Mingyue Fang and invite the owner of the workshop" Leng Yunyan's words were accompanied by a constant cough, and Xiao Xue had to slowly give her relief.
"Master, why do you still want to see a woman in a green building like this now, you might as well take care of your body and say goodbye before it's too late" Xiao Xue's words sounded concerned, but Leng Yunyan looked at her with an extremely cold look.
Xiao Xue chuckled in her heart, "The master is angry, Xiao Xue is speechless" She hurriedly pleaded guilty, since she met her brother Xiao Luo, Xiao Luo made her less and less like a maid.
Leng Yunyan treats her very well on weekdays, and over time, she sometimes doesn't feel like a maid, but some things are destined to be unchangeable, and her life and death contract is still in Leng Yunyan's hands.
The stepfather naturally had a way to get her out, but the task was not completed, and it was a blessing that the stepfather did not punish her, unless the task was completed, otherwise she would have to be by Leng Yunyan's side for the rest of her life.
"It's okay, you just care about me" Leng Yunyan's intermittent coughing sound, as if his whole life was hanging by a thread.
"You go and invite someone, I'll stay in the room" Xiao Xue didn't figure out why Leng Yunyan had to see a woman in the Qinglou after all, but the order needed to be obeyed.
Xiao Xue went out with her front foot, and Leng Yunyan sat up from the bed with her back foot. "Send someone to follow her"
"Yes," the man in the shadows replied, and a dark figure left the place. "The master doubts her"
Leng Yunyan's expression was a little complicated, and her voice was a little cold, "Shouldn't she be suspected?" ”
"After all, Miss Xiao Xue has been with you for many years, if she has the intention of harming you, you don't have to wait until today" The person in the dark just spoke very calmly.
"You don't think it could be her? Except for her, it's you, who do you think is more likely to be believed" Leng Yunyan asked rhetorically, who can be trusted and who can't be trusted, it's hard to say.
"Miss Xiao Xue" The person in the dark was silent for a while but still spoke. "But I don't want her"
Leng Yunyan didn't take this stubble, she didn't want this person to be Xiao Xue, after all, she had been with her for so many years, if the betrayal came from Xiao Xue, it would be too disappointing.
can think back to the piles and pieces over the years, it seems that there is Xiao Xue's shadow every time.
"You seem to have a good impression of Xiao Xue, how about I promise her to you?" Leng Yunyan's voice was very gentle, and the people in the shadows smiled silently.
"You were still suspicious of Xiao Xue just now, but now you want to marry someone to me, do you believe that Xiao Xue will not betray you, or do you suspect that I have different intentions for you" Although it is the identity of the secret guard, the person in the dark can speak calmly, and he does not feel like being under the fence at all, and even has some questioning implications.
"The person who keeps defending her, but you—Tsing Yi" Leng Yunyan sneered.
"You're getting more and more unreasonable."
"Heh, Yun Qianrou, is there still Yun Qianrou in this world?" Leng Yunyan's questioning, Tsing Yi's silence, and the tension in the room.
"Qianrou, you shouldn't be like this, if you have any dissatisfaction, you can come at me, why bother to embarrass yourself" Tsing Yi's voice even trembled a little.
Leng Yunyan still wanted to say something, Xiao Xue came back, and Tsing Yi instantly hid his breath.
"Master, the owner of Mingyue Fang refuses to see me, and the slave is derelict in his duties" Xiao Xue knelt down directly and pleaded guilty.
Leng Yunyan waved her hand to signal her to get up, it was expected that she would not see, "It's okay, if you don't see it, you won't see it, you go down"
Xiao Xue had to leave, it seemed that Leng Yunyan had become more and more dislike her serving by her side recently, and more often she liked to be alone.
"How?" The person who opened the question was Tsing Yi.
"Miss Xiao Xue didn't go directly to Mingyuefang after going out, but went to a pharmacy and said a few words to the shopkeeper, the subordinates didn't dare to get too close, and didn't hear what to say, but the shopkeeper was very polite to Miss Xiao Xue"
"Miss Xiao Xue went to Mingyuefang after leaving the pharmacy, and heard the maid say that the owner of the shop came back without seeing customers."
Tsing Yi asked people to step back, looked at Leng Yunyan and said, "What are you going to do?" Kill her? ”
Leng Yunyan shook his head, "Just going in and out of the pharmacy doesn't mean anything, not to mention that I'm still sick, it's too normal for my maid to go in and out of the pharmacy."
In the end, Leng Yunyan still didn't want to believe that Xiao Xue would betray him.
