Originally, I thought he wouldn't answer, but Rong Xiu unexpectedly opened his mouth: "There are some things, it's better not to let the Nine Emperor Princes know too clearly before you figure them out!" ”

Yan Xiaoyun sat up from the quilt suddenly: "What? Didn't you say that he was indeed the Nine Emperor Princes? What your grandfather invented the breathing method, only you and a few princes will, one of them is him. Is there something wrong all of a sudden? ”

Rong Xiu shook his head: "There is no problem with his identity, it is indeed true that the Nine Emperor Princes are real, but he has been imprisoned in Qingyun Mountain for three years, and it is difficult to guarantee whether he is still pure." ”

Seeing that Yan Xiaowei was only wearing a thin middle coat, he stretched out his arm and took his coat from the chair next to the bed and draped it over her, and then said slowly: "It stands to reason that an identity like him is definitely very useful to that group of bandits, and he should have used it to blackmail the saint a long time ago, or build another puppet dynasty." But the fact is just the opposite, for three whole years, there has been no news at all, Jingzhong thought that the Nine Emperor Princes were dead, and they didn't know the fact that he was kidnapped, don't you think it's strange? Isn't it unusual that you are now seriously wounded on the battlefield and only have one trump card in your hand to contend with a powerful enemy, but you hide this trump card on your body and refuse to use it? ”

Speaking of this, his face suddenly became solemn, and the smile on the corner of his mouth just now suddenly disappeared: "If it weren't for this group of bandits being too careful and patient, then there would be only one reason!" ”

Although he didn't explain, Yan Xiaoyun understood the meaning of his words, and blurted out almost without thinking: "You mean, he may have conspired with the mountain bandits?" This was imprisoned, tortured and tricked, all of which he made bitter? ”

Rong Xiu pondered for a moment: "Although there is no conclusive evidence, it is not impossible!" ”

Yan Xiaowei suddenly frowned: "But, if all this is directed and acted by him, then what is it for?" ”

Rong Xiu suddenly laughed mockingly: "The royal children have always fought for nothing more than power and money, and they will do everything to do so. Back then, the Nine Emperor Princes went out hunting with the saint, and suddenly he was hit by an arrow, although he understated a few words, but there is probably something strange in this. If an unfavored prince wants to come out on top in the competition for the throne, he has to use some tricks, what can he count as a bitter plan? ”

The Rong family is a patriarch of the Baili Dynasty for several generations, and I am afraid that he has seen a lot of blood and rain in this court. But Yan Xiaoyun was chilled by his words: "If it's really as you guessed, this is too terrible!" ”

Although there is a distinction between good and evil in human nature, she always doesn't want to think of people so badly in her heart, and subconsciously defends the Nine Emperor Princes: "When I was bullied in the hall before, he saved me, it shouldn't be a bad person!" What's more, his mother is a palace maid, a victim of the battle, will he still fight back and forth? ”

Rong Xiu looked at her deeply: "There are absolutely good people and absolutely bad people in the world, they are just doing things for their own interests. You've been through so much, how can you trust others so easily? ”

He stretched out a big hand and patted her on the head like a child: "You have to remember, never speculate about other people's thoughts from the perspective you see things, people are always different, and many people are often more complicated than they seem!" ”

Yan Xiaowei tilted her head and dodged his hand: "I understand!" For example, you seem to be a young and promising little general, but in fact, you have a very bad taste, and you often lose your temper and are not serious. So the conclusion is, you're a different person, and I need to stay away from you! ”

I didn't expect that the words that reminded her were actually thought of crookedly, and I also went around myself! Rong Xiu glared at her: "Anyway, you stay away from him in the future and be on guard!" Now we have to make two plans, on the one hand, find out the people who have tricked him and strive to clear Qingyun Mountain as soon as possible; On the one hand, you have to be on guard against him! ”

Although she didn't want to believe it, Yan Xiaoyun knew that what Rong Xiu said was indeed right, you can't have the heart to harm people, but you can't have the heart to defend people!

A few days passed, and the cottage was calm. There is no news from the Nine Emperor Princes, and Rong Xiu doesn't know what he's busy with every day by the side of the big boss, and Yan Xiaoyi is often the only one left in the house.

On this day, she got up late, and the breakfast in the cottage had been removed from the front hall.

After a whole night, Yan Xiaoyi's stomach was already hungry, so she could only find the cottage restaurant to see if there was anything to eat.

After these days, everyone in the cottage knows that she is following Rong Xiu, and her status has been greatly improved. Coupled with the fact that a fire burned down the cottage for decades, the reputation has become an instant hit in the cottage, because the bandits in the cottage have grown a very gossip heart and a breathless spread speed, in just one day, she jumped from a nobody to almost everyone in the cottage knows everyone.

No, as soon as she came to the restaurant, a man greeted her with a shovel in his hand: "Yo hey, why did Miss Yan come to our back kitchen?" ”

Yan Xiaoyi's face turned pale: "I'm up late today, is there anything to eat in the back kitchen?" ”

The man's fat hand waved: "What should I do, it turns out that I am hungry!" Miss Yan, if you want to eat anything, just send someone to tell me no, I'll send it to you when I'm done, you see that you also came over in person, if you let Qin Gongzi know, you don't necessarily feel distressed! ”

Yan Xiaowei smiled secretly, it seems that it is a bit beneficial to show affection with Rong Xiu in the cottage a while ago, there are almost no scholars in this cottage, Rong Xiu is the only one, and even she was politely entertained. If she didn't know that this group of people was carrying thousands of lives, she really didn't dare to take responsibility.

But no matter what she thought in her heart, she had to do enough work on the face, and she hurriedly waved her hand: "Look at what you said, the three meals of hundreds of people up and down this cottage are pinched in your hands, and you are busy all day, how can I trouble you with this little thing!" It's not a meal at this time, just fill my stomach a little if you have anything here. In the evening, I heard that the big boss had announced that he was going to have a banquet, and it was not too late to eat at that time! ”

The man slapped his palm: "Xiao Long Bao is steaming on the stove behind me, and there are pork ribs stewed in the pot, I'll take a Rausch for you here!" You wait here, and you'll be fine in a while! ”

After speaking, he immediately smeared the soles of his feet into the back room, as if he was afraid that Yan Xiaowei would lose his temper and set the back kitchen on fire.

Yan Xiaowei was bored at the door of the back kitchen, looking east and west, her eyes fell on the earthen stove where there was no firewood outside, and her eyes suddenly lit up!

She peeked in, and saw that everyone in the back kitchen was busy, and no one noticed her, so she hurried to the earthen stove, and quietly squatted down, and reached out to find a thick, hard branch in the pile of firewood piled up behind her. With it, she scraped off the dirt on the outside of the earthen stove without a trace, and feared that too much soil would be found at once, so she rubbed against the mud-compacted earthen wall behind the earthen stove, and threw the earth down with a tree branch as well.

Seeing that the mound on the ground was almost there, she looked left and right, and there were only neatly stacked pots and pots around her, and each small stack looked like it was counted.

Afraid of being discovered, she didn't dare to take it indiscriminately, and when her eyes searched carefully, she finally found a small iron pot with a lid under the table with a lot of dust on it.

Seeing the sound of footsteps coming slowly in the back kitchen, Yan Xiaowei hurriedly put the scraped soil into a small iron pot and put the lid at her feet, and rubbed off the remaining soil on the ground with her feet.

As soon as he packed up, the man went back with a food box.

Handing the food box to Yan Xiaoyi, her eyes suddenly fell on the small iron pot at her feet, and she was surprised: "This pot has not been used for a long time, why did you suddenly come here today?" As he spoke, he bent down to take it away.

Yan Xiaoyi's heart was mentioned, and she hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop him: "Ah! Big brother, I found this pot! ”

She chuckled and scratched her head: "You know, I'm not used to getting up early, so I can't always catch up with everyone's mealtime." I thought it would be nice to make a small stove in the courtyard and warm up the dinner you had prepared the day before every morning. ”

Speaking of this, she was a little cautious: "I saw that there were a lot of pots and pans in our back kitchen, and there was a lot of ash on this small iron pot, so I thought it was discarded, so I took it privately." Didn't you make a mess for your big brother, did you? ”

When the man heard this, he immediately shook his head: "Miss Yan, where are you talking about, since you have gone to our Qingyun Mountain and entered the cottage, just like our brothers and sisters, why do you still see this little thing!" I'm going to help you find it and see if there's anything better than this! ”

He walked around the back kitchen, his eyes wandering back and forth, muttering, "Huh? I remember there's a bigger one than this, and it's not used yet, where was it put by those monkey cubs? ”

Yan Xiaowei hurriedly stopped him: "No need big brother, I'll just use this!" "Just kidding, the dirt that I finally scraped is still inside! It doesn't matter if she takes it away or not, it's not good to be discovered!

The man couldn't resist her, and looked at her with a food box hanging on her wrist, holding a small iron pot in both hands and walking away step by step.

When he returned to the room, Rong Xiu didn't know when he had returned, and he was sitting on a chair with a blue face.

Yan Xiaowei was holding something in her hand, and she only nodded slightly to him as a greeting.

Rong Xiu frowned, and glanced at her dissatisfied: "What did you just do?" Didn't I tell you that there is everyone in this cottage, so you should stay in the house and don't go out and hang around? ”

Yan Xiaoyi ignored him and put the things in his hand on the table, but instead of looking at the food box, he opened the small lid of the iron pot and beckoned to him happily: "Come and take a look, I found something good!" ”
