A few days ago, the night was as dark as ink, and there was not a trace of starlight. It's curfew time, and there are only patrolling guards on the streets.

A man in black walked through the streets of the capital, jumped back and forth, and entered the backyard of a mansion, and he drove quickly into a courtyard.

The man had a little mud on his body, and his cuffs and trousers were stained with muddy water, and he looked terrible.

He didn't knock on the door, and slowly pushed the door in.

"Your Excellency."

He knelt down respectfully, with some trepidation in his tone, he took off his mask, and it turned out to be Xu Cang beside Shang Shuling.

"How's things going?"

Shang Shuling leaned back in his chair, his expression was indifferent, but with a hint of laziness after lust. He held a piece of paper in his hand and rubbed it gently.

"The subordinates are derelict in their duties, and please punish the adults."

Xu Cang's head lowered deeply, he didn't dare to look up at Shang Shuling's face, he knew what this failure meant to Shang Shuling, it meant that he had lost another game with the Jianye Hou Mansion.

The room was terrifyingly quiet, the air seemed to be frozen, Shang Shuling didn't say a word, he lowered his eyes and thought quietly.

Xu Cang couldn't raise his head at all because of this low air pressure, he said stiffly.

"Although the arrow of his subordinates did not hit General Qin, it hit the prince of Anguo."

Shang Shuling's expression changed and he said sharply.

"What do you say?! You actually hurt Gu Yan?! ”

"Great, sir, what's wrong with you?"

Xu Cang asked tremblingly.

Shang Shuling suppressed his anger, this guy who has not achieved enough and has more than enough to lose, but now he can't kill him.

After all, after all, there will be more times when you can use Xu Cang.

"You shit! The century-old foundation of the Anguo Mansion is something I can shake. Gu Yan is so shrewd, do you think he can't guess the inside story? You've ruined my plans! ”

Xu Cang: "......"

"You get down for me and go to the torture chamber to get punished!"

Xu Cang hurriedly rolled down, but he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, what is it to go to the torture room to receive the punishment, although the torture room is terrifying, it is better than no life.

Shang Shuling saw Xu Cang rolling down, he frowned tightly, and looked at the fold in his hand, which was written with the words impeachment of Qin Ran.

This time let Xu Cang go, it was for insurance, it was good that Zhao Yan could resist Qin Ran, but if he failed, he could only use this method, and then took advantage of the chaos to end Tiger Wolf Mountain, and finally killed Zhao Yan unknowingly in the prison, this is the real best of both worlds.

It's just that Xu Cang, a waste, not only didn't succeed but also hurt Gu Yan. His Majesty will definitely order a thorough investigation, and according to the ability of the Anguo Mansion, there is no 100% guarantee that he will not be able to find his own head.

So...

Shang Shuling clenched his fists and looked fierce.

……

According to the rules, every new general in the Gyeonggi camp can stay in the camp for a month, and he does not need to be in the camp every day, but can go to the camp every three days.

The emperor issued an order to take Gu Yan back to the mansion for recuperation. Qin Ran followed the rules, so he also packed his bags and returned to Beijing.

Gu Yan went back a few days earlier than Qin Ran, so Qin Ran got out of the car, and after returning to the courtyard, he wanted to hurry to Anguo Mansion without the consciousness of a girl's house at all.

"Oh miss, where are you going when you just came back!"

Even though Xun Lu shouted behind him, he was unmoved.

"I'll go out, if someone comes, remember to help me cover!"

Qin Ran jumped up to the wall, and his smiling voice drifted into the wind, drifting into Xunlu's ears with incomparable precision.

Seeking Green: "......"

Xun Lu kicked over the stones on the ground helplessly, and sat on the stone bench with his head propped up. Suddenly, a magnified face appeared in front of her, and the frightened soul of Xun Green flew away.

Xun Lu patted his chest, and finally took a look, but found that it was Qin Yuan. Only then did he breathe a long sigh of relief.

"Young Master, you can scare the slave to death."

"Xun Lu, why are you here alone, my sister?!" Qin Yuan looked around, but found that there was no figure of his sister at all.

"Ah, Miss, Miss She..."

"Come on, don't cover it up for her, she must be out, you can't hide it from others, but you can't hide it from Master Ben and me."

Qin Yuan smiled slyly and lay on Qin Ran's recliner uninhibitedly, with his hands folded behind his head.

"It's a pity that Young Master Ben also bought her her favorite zongzi candy, and she doesn't have a good taste for it now."

Qin Yuan took out two bags of zongzi candy from his arms as if he were playing tricks and held them in his arms.

Xun Lu stood aside and watched, smiling slightly.

Qin Yuan opened one of the bags, took out a few and put them in his mouth, and casually threw the remaining bags to Xun Lu.

"The unopened bag of this young master will reward you if you can't finish eating, and there is another bag for Miss. Okay, Young Master Ben still has something to do, so I'll leave first. ”

Qin Yuan got up from the recliner, patted the zongzi sprinkles on his hands, and strode away.

Xun Lu looked at Qin Yuan's back as he left, and felt a little inexplicable emotion in his heart.

Everyone said that the eldest young master was a gentleman, but she didn't think so.

The eldest young master, in fact, is a very good person...

……

Qin Ran ran all the way to the Anguo Mansion, but when she arrived, she had never been here, let alone knew that Gu Yan lived there, and she was looking at the wall sadly at the back door of the Anguo Mansion.

Qin Ran didn't expect Gu Yan to sit in the water pavilion across his wall, the injury on his shoulder was not serious, and in the past few days since he came back, he has used the plaster given by the emperor, and he has improved even faster.

He stayed quietly in the water pavilion, with a teacup and snacks in front of him. It's autumn, the weather is already a lot cooler, and the light yarn of the water pavilion has been removed and replaced with windproof wooden planks.

"Shizi, it's cool by the lake, your injuries are not healed yet, let's go back." Wen Feng watched from the sidelines and said worriedly.

"No problem."

Gu Yan has been living at home for the past few days, and he is not stable. There are countless people who come to greet the case, although there are people who ask Feng to block outside, but how much can they block.

Gu Yan pressed his eyebrows a little tiredly.

Wen Feng didn't dare to say much, so he had to accompany him.

Gu Yan took a sip of hot tea and took a look at the recent events. His Majesty had ordered a thorough investigation of the assassins, but Gu Yan didn't hold out much hope, Shang Shuling was now in a high position, and there must be countless ways to clean himself up.

The most important thing now is how to pull Shang Shuling off the horse, but His Majesty's side is an obstacle.

Gu Yan was still thinking about things, and before he could come up with a reason, he was interrupted by a loud shout.

In fact, the voice was not very loud, but Gu Yan was thinking about things, so he amplified the voice infinitely.

It's just that this voice sounds so familiar, so like... Musical instruments?
