Thinking Change (4)
Yue Tong told Xie Ye that there was indeed a secret hidden in Yong'an, but this secret had nothing to do with the Yong'an secret guard he had been looking for.
"When I was a child, I heard my family say that there is a guardian god in Yong'an, and that guardian saint will always guard Yong'an City. If a bad person wants to come to Yongan to do something bad, the Patronus will lead him to a mysterious cave and stone him to death. Yue Tong said to Xie Ye with a bit of scare.
Xie Ye was indeed a little frightened by her, and was stunned for a moment before asking, "The patron saint of Yong'an?" He could understand, after all, there would be some legends everywhere, and after thinking about it, he asked Yue Tong, "Then has anyone been stoned to death by that guardian spirit of yours?" ”
Yue Tong nodded: "Yes." I heard from Aunt Wang next door that about 20 years ago, a group of bad people came to Yong'an and arrested people everywhere; Then they disappeared one night, but the things they had brought with them were still in the inn. I heard that it was more than ten days later, when it suddenly rained heavily, and only then did someone find their bodies in the river, all of which were stoned to death. Aunt Wang said that because they did a lot of evil, they would be punished by the guardian spirit. But she tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "But I've never seen this kind of thing, anyway, Yong'an has been calm for more than 20 years." ”
That sounds, the story seems to be true.
Xie Ye felt more and more empty-hearted, after all, their group of people came to Yong'an without any good intentions.
So will they also be stoned to death by the Guardian of Yong'an?
"What is a mysterious cave?" Xie Ye suddenly remembered and asked Yue Tong.
"I don't know." Yue Tong shook his head.
For Yue Tong, she would only tell Xie Ye that something like this had happened before, but she would keep silent about more things.
Xie Ye will be aroused by curiosity, and will want to explore what is going on; But when he can't find anything, he will believe in this ridiculous and bizarre legend.
Yue Tong was still smiling innocently and harmlessly, she really didn't know anything, but someone was guiding her step by step to tell Xie Ye about these things.
In this game, they are all insiders.
When Xie Ye went back, he told Xie Lan what he heard from Yue Tong, and Xie Lan was very strange when he saw him: "So you're scared?" Otherwise, you will go back to the royal capital first? ”
Xie Ye immediately refused: "This is impossible. ”
Originally, Xie Lan was more aware of the affairs on Yong'an's side, so he didn't care about what Xie Ye said.
He knew that Xie Ye had been going to see that Yue Tong girl frequently recently, and these things should have been known from Yue Tong girl, and that could only be known to him by Yong'an Secret Guard.
Xie Lan went to see Xuan Jinhuan, and he was in the Red Sleeve Xuan; Xuan Jinhuan was dressed in black, with his crown hair tied up, and he looked like a jade-faced man.
"Miss Jinhuan." Xie Lan sat down opposite Xuan Jinhuan, and Xuan Jinhuan quietly handed a parchment scroll to Xie Lan: "This map, my stepmother asked Jinhuan to bring to His Highness." ”
Xie Lan carefully hid the sheepskin roll into the cuffs, and asked, "Then what should I do next?" ”
Xuan Jinhuan whispered something to him, and Xie Lan nodded: "Okay, I know." ”
"Who are the people who are Yong'an with His Highness this time?" Xuan Jinhuan asked again.
"It is the people carefully selected by the father and emperor that the eight clans of the Central Plains are carefully selected, and most of them are inextricably related to the eight clans of the Central Plains." Xie Lan said.
It turned out to be a member of the eight tribes of the Central Plains! Emperor Chengji is really an old fox.
Emperor Chengji knew that the Yongan Secret Guard would not do anything to the people of the Central Plains Eight Clans, so he asked the people of the Central Plains Eight Clans to come over.
"Then I'm afraid I will have to grieve Your Highness." Xuan Jinhuan pondered it in his heart for a while, and said.
"What do I need to do?" Xie Lan asked subconsciously.
Xuan Jinhuan lowered his eyes and lowered his voice and said, "The Central Plains Eight Clans and the Yongan Secret Guard have some deals. This time, the eight clans of the Central Plains can't be involved, and there is a place on this parchment that is specially marked, which is the place that Director Xu said to His Royal Highness before. ”
Xie Lan nodded: "Okay." ”
"Jin Huan can't say more to His Highness here, so Jin Huan will leave first." Xuan Jinhuan smiled slightly, stood up and prepared to leave.
After all, now Yong'an has a group of people who have bad intentions towards Yong'an's secret guards, and this group of people is also eyeing Xie Lan; Xuan Jinhuan and Xie Lan met in the Red Sleeve Xuan, and it would be very troublesome if they were seen by someone from the royal capital.
But just as Xuan Jinhuan got up and left, Xie Lan suddenly called him: "Miss Jinhuan! ”
Xuan Jinhuan turned back inexplicably: "Second Highness, what's wrong?" ”
"Miss Jinhuan, you ······" Xie Lan wanted to say something, but he was stunned for a moment and then turned to say, "Then you guys, be careful." ”
"Thank you, Second Highness." Xuan Jin responded to it.
After waiting for a while, Xie Lan came out of the Red Sleeve Xuan, and sure enough, it was unfortunate that he happened to meet Xie Ye coming out of the wine shop, and he also saw Yue Tong who came out to see him.
In fact, Xie Lan had only seen Ning Yanyue once before, but the moment he saw Yue Tong, he clearly remembered Ning Yanyue's face.
It is really as Xie Ye said, Yue Tong and Ning Yanyue look very similar!
Xie Ye didn't seem to expect to meet Xie Lan here at all, both of them were stunned for a moment, or Xie Lan looked at Yue Tong before asking Xie Ye, "This is Miss Yue?" ”
"Gongzi Xie, what is this?" Yue Tong asked Xie Ye with some surprise.
"This is my second brother." Xie Ye said embarrassedly.
Xie Ye was very embarrassed to come back to the inn with Xie Lan, only then did he suddenly remember, and then asked Xie Lan: "Second Emperor Brother, why did you come out of the Red Sleeve Xuan?" What do you do at Red Sleeves? ”
"I ······" Xie Lan originally wanted to say something, but he didn't know what he thought of and asked him instead, "Why do you think I went to Red Sleeve Xuan?" ”
Xie Ye had a hippie smile: "Could it be that the second emperor brother went to the Red Sleeve Xuan to find a girl?" I heard that Red Sleeve Xuan is the largest square building in Yong'an, and the girls in Red Sleeve Xuan are all talented and beautiful. ”
Xie Lan immediately sank his face: "Don't talk nonsense!" You have only been in Yongan for a few days, how can you even know that Red Sleeve Xuan is the largest building in Yongan. ”
"Miss Yue's tavern is just across from the Red Sleeve Xuan, and Miss Yue told me." Xie Ye hurriedly defended himself.
"It looks like you're talking to that girl in law, and she's told you everything." Xie Lan was a little strange.
"I do like Miss Yue, not just because of Yanyue, but for other reasons." Xie Ye hesitated and said that he had never thought that such a thing would happen before he came to Yong'an, "Second Emperor Brother, in the past, I thought that I would live with Yan Yue for the rest of my life, but then Yan Yue ······ Now I met Miss Yue again, but she was a woman from an ordinary background. ”
Xie Lan felt that Xie Ye's love was even less valuable than his.
