"Want to know why I found you here?"

"Why?"

"Who sees a man in debt running away, and he won't come at the gate of the city?"

"......" turned out to be self-inflicted.

"Let's go back to the inn!" Ye Yanqing said weakly.

Back at the inn, Ye Yanqing asked Xiao Er to bring some hot water, took a comfortable bath, and then wrote and drew some things in his mind on paper.

But I couldn't figure it out, and I couldn't figure it out, so I just painted it and threw it aside.

"It seems that this Youzhou is even more intertwined than I imagined." Ye Yanqing said to herself.

Suddenly, there was a noise by the window, and a figure suddenly jumped in, Ye Yanqing hurriedly looked over, and saw that it was Mu Lin who came late, so he put down the inkstone in his hand.

"Night sister, it's me, it's me, don't be impulsive, hurry up and put down this inkstone."

"Why are you here?" Looking at Mu Linwan, who was very different from his appearance a few days ago, he asked in surprise.

"Alas~ Don't mention it, I was kicked out by my master and beat me up, sizzle...... Look, look, these lips are cracked, and my eyes are swollen and tall. As soon as Mu Linwan spoke excitedly, he pulled the wound on the side of his mouth and gasped in pain.

"No wonder this happens."

"That's right! I'm homeless now, and you're going to take me in. Mu Linwan begged with a blue nose and swollen face.

Ye Yanqing sighed in his heart, sure enough, Jiang was still old and spicy, and Bai Shen really had a way to follow willingly. couldn't help but mourn silently in his heart for Mu Linwan.

"This ...... What about your former friends? Ye Yanqing said that he was a little embarrassed, he had no money, and the rest was given to Zhao Sanxi, and now he has to raise someone, which is a bit nerve-wracking.

"If they weren't afraid of my master, they wouldn't let me fall on the streets. Night sister, the rivers and lakes are in emergency! ”

"To tell you the truth, I don't have any money in my hand, so I can't take you in."

"Don't worry, I ransacked my master's small vault before I left, and now it's all here." Mu Linwan opened the burden behind him, it was not big, but when he put it on the bookcase, he obviously felt the heavy weight inside.

"I know that Master can't get used to me for a long time, and he wants to kick me out, no, he was ready to take in the little sister, so he drove me out, but fortunately I was witty and stole Master's key with his small treasury. Hahahaha, he must not have thought of it. ”

"Wait." Ye Yanqing stopped him, "What did you just say?" ”

"My master sees that Zhao Xue's talent is good, and he is ready to accept her as an apprentice."

"Really? Isn't she still fighting privately? Did you win? ”

"I don't know." Mu Linwan scratched the back of his head and smiled shyly, "I guess, it should be so, otherwise how could you drive me, a closed disciple, out?" ”

There are some unwritten rules in the martial arts, a person can only have one closed disciple at a time, and he is cultivated like an heir, and if he doesn't make a big mistake, he will generally not be kicked out of the master.

"So what's her situation now, and what are the chances of winning?"

"It's hard to say, it's hard to say...... The outcome is almost decided, but this is a matter between the two of them, and I advise you not to interfere. ”

"So fast? Are you the one who won or lost that time? ”

"Shhhh Ye Yanqing couldn't get used to Mu Linwan's mysterious appearance, so she pushed him to the window and threatened: "Then you go, find someone who can take you in, I won't be able to get you." ”

"Eh, good sister, don't do this, I'm not good, I'm not good?"

"Isn't it something you can't say? I don't embarrass you, as long as you leave. Ye Yanqing ignored him and still pushed him out.

"Don't, don't! I said, I really said, know everything, say endless words. ”

"You said it yourself, and I forced you again."

"Yes, yes, okay, Night Sister, can you let me go now?"

Ye Yanqing withdrew his strength, "Ye Yanqing, are you there?" Liu Yi suddenly called him outside, feeling that Mu Linwan had been pushed out of the window.

"You stay out of the way for a while, and I'll look for you later."

"Is there anything you can do?" opened the door and let her in, and suddenly saw the burden on the bookcase, and hurriedly found something to cover it.

"I just think what's happening on the street is too weird, and I want to talk to you about it." Liu Yi saw that Ye Yanqing was hiding something, but pretended not to know.

"Oh? You feel the same way I do. Ye Yanqing came back and wanted to talk to Liu Yi about it, but the atmosphere was inexplicably silent all the way, and he didn't want to mention it, and after arriving at the inn, he forgot about it.

"What's so strange about you?"

"The temple fair is originally a rare festival, and it is naturally very lively, and it is not surprising that some people from all over the world appear. But it's rare to see such a well-behaved monkey, and this monkey can kill people, which is very strange in itself, and I definitely don't believe it if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes. ”

Ye Yanqing straightened out his thoughts and continued: "What's more, the top ten flower owners in Youzhou have long been unworthy of the name, how come it hasn't changed for so many years. In the past few decades, only these ten flower owners have declined, but none of them have been replaced by later family owners, which is also a very strange place. ”

"What a coincidence, I also have something to tell you, in Beilin Town, near Youzhou, more than ten small families were all wiped out overnight."

"Is that so?" Ye Yanqing felt that this incident was very unusual.

"Yes, I've been investigating this matter recently, and I checked Youzhou today, and sure enough, I found this situation. And it's even more serious, in just ten years, there were still 3,517 small families, and now there is no one in ten. It's not just the small families that are being destroyed, but also some medium-sized wealthy families are all falling, but it's slower than the fall of the small families.

Many of them are because the young generation of the family died early, which led to the lack of succession and the defeat of the family. And I noticed that if there were some talented teenagers in that family, none of them would be spared, and all of them would die young. ”

Ye Yanqing was shocked in her heart, no wonder there was always some delicate balance between the seemingly dilapidated status of the top ten flower lords and the rising other families, it turned out that someone had discovered the clues.

"Under normal circumstances, it would not be possible for small families to collapse on a large scale, and all classes of families would have been drastically reduced. But if it's a human being, these have nothing in common, most people don't know each other, there is no place to investigate, and the other party is very hidden, I found out the slightest clue. ”

This seemingly prosperous Youzhou has been firmly controlled by people, and even the survival and destruction of the major families are tied to the hands of one person, so it can be imagined that this person's plan is huge.
