"You wait outside the door, I'll go in alone."

With a simple sentence, Li Li, who originally planned to follow An Yichen, was completely outside the door, looking at her stunned expression, An Yichen closed the door from the inside cleanly, without hesitation at all.

How to say it, no matter what happened, he never wanted Li Li to have too much to do with the people on the rivers and lakes.

Ma Rui was already waiting inside, and he had heard the movement from the moment they arrived outside the door, and he knew that the man in front of him was the brother of the girl who saved him.

The boy in front of him is about the same age as him, but his eyebrows are much deeper than him, and wearing dark blue clothes will not make people feel old-fashioned, but also reveal a different kind of calmness.

He bowed his hand to An Yichen and thanked him sincerely: "Thank you Sister Ling for saving your life." ”

He was grateful to the people in this courtyard. If it weren't for the people inside who were willing to lend a helping hand to him and save his life, I'm afraid he would have become someone else's fallen ghost by now.

An Yichen looked at him, only felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and asked after a long time, "Can you tell me your name?" ”

"Why not, under Ma Rui." Ma Rui replied calmly.

Yes, that's him.

An Yichen suddenly realized.

In the past, he was an official in the same dynasty as this person for more than ten years, although they often disagreed, but the ultimate goal was for the prosperity and strength of the Great Zhou.

It's just that I didn't expect to meet again in this way in this life.

What is embarrassing is that when we meet again, the deceased no longer knows him.

An Yichen's eyes were deep, and he said with half-squinted eyes: "Young Master Ma, can I ask one more question, why were you chased by the killers on the rivers and lakes?" ”

This matter can't tolerate his sloppiness, because of Ma Rui, those Jianghu killers know whose territory this is, but they dare to risk breaking into the other courtyard to find out the truth.

I'm afraid that those people haven't really let go now, hiding in the corner that he can't see, and always paying attention to the movements of the other courtyard.

Ma Rui's eyes were full of pain, and he didn't speak, at a young age, he already had a different responsibility from his peers.

He couldn't tell who was a trustworthy person in this world, and he was afraid that he would mistrust others like his father, so in the face of An Yichen's questioning, he had to remain silent for the time being and not answer.

An Yichen retracted his gaze and sat down at the table, and said unhurriedly: "Since you will ask for help here, then you should know what kind of place this is, if you don't want to say it, I don't dare to continue to keep you in the mansion, and I can only find a way to send you away." ”

Ma Rui in his previous life was deep and meticulous, and he might be able to complete the implementation and arrangement of a plan in the blink of an eye, even if he was only a fifteen-year-old child in this life, An Yichen believed that he would never be far behind.

And his purpose, it is not difficult to imagine, is to stay here and borrow the momentum of his home.

Sure enough, as soon as he said that he was going to send him away, Ma Rui's expression immediately changed drastically, and there was no longer the previous calm.

An Yichen didn't seem to see his entanglement and pain, and continued: "Ma Gongzi also saw it, the old and the young in this courtyard, no matter who they are, they don't have the ability to fight the killers of the rivers and lakes. If you don't want to say anything, I can't prepare for it. ”

Even if he and Ma Rui cherished each other in their previous lives, he never knew what Ma Rui had experienced when he was a child.

When they met, one was a general with great prestige in the government and the opposition, and the other was a military squire who was full of scheming and determined to serve the country loyally.

At that time, their status was equal, but now Ma Rui has become the weaker side.

After an endless struggle in his heart, Ma Rui subconsciously clenched his hands into fists, and his nails were hard to dig into the flesh of his palms, and he didn't seem to feel pain, frowning and falling into the boundless darkness, the beads of sweat on his forehead were rolling to the ground.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and looked at An Yichen with burning eyes: "I want to know, which side does the An family belong to?" Is it the court or the rivers and lakes? ”

Or, have you joined any forces?

"What about the court, what about the rivers and lakes, who can completely separate the court from the rivers and lakes? As for which side you belong to, it's even more nonsense, because whether it is the court or the rivers and lakes, when have you ever heard that the An family is confused in this regard? ”

Never.

Although his father An Rusheng was the first in the wisdom list of Tianji Pavilion, it did not affect his father to become the Taifu of the Great Zhou, and after he died for the Great Zhou, he became the minister of the government and the opposition.

Ma Rui has not spoken for a long time, he was born in the rivers and lakes, and naturally he has heard everything about the An family, and the An family An Rusheng is a myth that exists in a dream for him.

A person who has never interfered in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but has been followed by many heroes because of his unparalleled wisdom, as long as he can get An Rusheng's blue eyes, even if it is to let them participate in the affairs of the court, it doesn't matter much.

But he is such a smart person, he has never heard of the An family asking for help from the rivers and lakes.

If Ma Rui still had the idea of using the An family in his heart a moment ago, then at this time he had completely disappeared without a trace.

Let's not talk about An Rusheng, who is far away in Kyoto, let's just say that An Rusheng's son, the man in front of him, is quite scheming.

Come to think of it, the tiger father has no dog son, as the son of An Rusheng, who is the first on the wisdom list of Tianji Pavilion, how can he be a fool who is at the mercy of him?

"I want to make a deal with Anjia." Ma Rui said truthfully.

An Yichen lowered his eyelids: "You can talk about it." ”

He did not say yes, nor did he refuse.

He didn't plan to follow his father's example, but he knew when to say something.

"I want revenge, I want to go back to the rivers and lakes, so I need the help of An Jia, and as a price, I am willing to work for An Jia for the rest of my life."

The Ma family has become a joke on the rivers and lakes, and there are people who have been ordered to hunt him down along the way, if he wants to return to the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that he will be cut by a thousand knives in a few days.

Therefore, he wants to find a place for him to hide for the time being, even if it is to lose a lifetime of time.

Hatred is already the only reason to support her to live.

An Yichen played with his fingers, looked up and saw Ma Rui looking like he was forbearing to the extreme, he didn't want to tease him anymore, stood up and patted him on the shoulder and said: "You are born noble, you don't want to be a slave, if I bind you for a lifetime, what is the difference between being a slave and being a slave?" ”

Ma Rui's eyes widened and he looked at him in disbelief.

"So don't mention the price, I'll escort you back to your rivers and lakes, and after you succeed in taking revenge, I'll take what I need, what do you think?"

"What do you want?" Ma Rui's vigilance has not diminished.

Looking at his serious appearance, An Yichen seemed to think for a while before shaking his head and said, "It doesn't matter what I want, the important thing is that you can't give me anything now." ”

Although this is hurtful, it is also true, and now Ma Rui can't even save his own life, let alone pay him.

In this negotiation, An Yichen will win, just because Ma Rui doesn't even have the capital to negotiate.

Walking out the door, it was getting dark outside, and Ma Rui lit an oil lamp in the house, sitting on the edge of the bed, not knowing what to think.

Li Li was still waiting outside, lying on the door and peeking around, but he couldn't see anything, he couldn't hear anything.

Hearing a sound inside, Li Li hurriedly got down from the door and retreated to his original position, just as if he had never done anything.

An Yichen opened the door from the inside, saw her standing obediently in the distance with her head down, and did not tear her down, and said to herself: "I will send someone to send him away tomorrow, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Send away?

Where to send it?

She worked hard to get people back, and tried her best to let him see people, but not so that he could send people away!

"Big brother, I heard that he has no relatives and no reason and is very pitiful, where are you going to send him? There are enemies waiting to kill him outside. ”

She is really unwilling to let all her efforts turn into a bubble and burst, if Ma Rui is killed in the next second when she sends people out, then what she did before is really meaningless!

She's not a good person, she only wants something in return, and she doesn't want to let herself work in vain.

"He can go wherever he wants."

An Yichen didn't say much, seeing that the sky was no longer suitable for the night road, he only commanded Mama Qi in a loud voice: "I want to stay in the other courtyard for a while today, you go down and make arrangements." ”

Although the house in the courtyard was cleaned from time to time, An Yichen's temporary decision still made Mama Qi carefully prepare, just to make him live comfortably.

Knowing that he planned to stay here, Li Li instantly didn't have time to think about where he was going to send Ma Rui, so he only covered his face with his worried hands, for fear that he would have a late-night conversation with her.

Don't.

If it weren't for the Qin family's plan, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to invite him to open another courtyard to eat fish. He must not think that after a meal, they will be able to return to their old state.

In fact, An Yichen thought exactly that, swaggering into her room under Li Li's gaze, fiddling with her newly purchased gadgets with disgust.

"I don't want the little shovel I gave you, but I go and buy a handful that can't stand the toss, can this waste thing shovel the dirt?"

Little shovel, once he tried to use something like that to bias her, and make her playthings lose her mind. Later, in order to keep it as a souvenir, he gave it to her, but he stayed in Anfu and did not bring it out.

Li Li was very annoyed and snatched the things back from his hand and put them aside, and said unceremoniously: "Big brother, you are already an adult now, how can you casually enter a girl's room?" ”

"Girl's house?" An Yichen looked at Li Li at this time, shook his head extremely sincerely, and said, "You can only be regarded as a child at most now, besides, I am your ......"

At the end of the conversation, he stopped again, and Li Li, who listened to the first half of the words, was frightened, for fear that he would spit out those two words - wife.

For An Yichen, who has memories of his previous life, she was indeed his wife, who became the ancestor Jade Butterfly and entered the An family tree.
