In the early morning of the next day, the light was slightly dewed, and the newly planted peonies in the Yefu garden quietly bloomed again, and the courtyard was full of birds and flowers.

Cui'er got up early and was cleaning the house.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, she grabbed a letter on the coffee table in the corner and hurriedly glanced at it a few times, and immediately ran into the inner room, shouting: "Miss, Miss, Yi Gongzi has replied to you." ”

"Be quiet. Ye Jinlan hurriedly covered her mouth.

"Hmm, hmm. Cui'er straightened her head and handed the letter to the young lady.

Ye Jinlan spread out the paper and looked at it at a glance, only halfway through it, the two crescent thin eyebrows wrinkled.

"What's the matter, Miss, what did Gongzi Yi say?" Cui'er couldn't see it all because of her perspective, and she was also in a hurry.

"It's nothing, it's just ......" Ye Jinlan hesitated for a moment, but still sighed: "He's gone." ”

"Let's go...... Gone??"

"Yes, he told me in the letter that his fame is like a floating cloud for him, and if it is gone, it will be gone, but he can't agree with Dongping Academy and my father's approach, and he can't accept it. Since everyone doesn't have this fate, it's better to get together and disperse than to stay and tear your face. ”

"Gone?"

"Hmm......" Ye Jinlan nodded, but her fingers clenched the corners of her clothes tighter.

In fact, in the second half of the letter, there was a paragraph written, but she was embarrassed to read it......

Today's farewell, I don't know when to meet, the so-called great grace is not grateful, last night's events have turned into a breeze, resident in your heart and me, this love and this grace, unforgettable.

This beautiful woman, but God is jealous, the world is turbid, don't pay attention.

If you have a good name, you should do good deeds, give roses to others, and leave a lingering fragrance in your hands.

People's hearts are sinister, beware of them, and when they meet one day, there will be a great reward.

A gentleman is a promise, the horse is difficult to chase, I wish Qing cherished, forever like Lan Jin.

Miss Ye silently recited this passage in her heart, and as she read it, her nose suddenly became sore, and she inexplicably didn't want to read it anymore.

The feeling was strange and familiar, and my heart was empty, as if something had been poached.

Cui'er saw that her young lady's expression was different, so she didn't say anything more and went down quietly.

At this time, silence is often more effective than comfort.

......

On the other side, a group of guests were ushered in at the door of Yefu, all wearing square scarves and school robes, and they looked like scholars.

Ye Junshou was already standing in the courtyard to greet him, and when he saw them coming, he immediately smiled.

Academician Zhao was the first to come up and said with a smile: "My lord, how happened last night?

Ye Junshou smiled slightly: "If it doesn't work, can you still see me standing here with a smile now?"

"So, your lord has succeeded?"

"No, my little brother is very stubborn, I haven't completely moved him in what I said last night, it just made him less resistant, but don't worry, as long as we delay it a little longer, he should be in a hurry. ”

"Oh?

"You think, originally he was going to leave today and tomorrow to go to Xianyang County to preside over the examination, as the chief examiner designated by the Ministry of Rites, others can drag it out, he can't drag it out, so don't worry, there will be results in these two days at the latest. ”

"Okay, okay, since Lord Ye said so, my heart will be put down. What about Yi Chen, where does he live, can you let me meet him first?"

"Absolutely. Ye Junshou smiled and beckoned Yahuan to lead the way.

The group chatted as they walked towards the house where Yi Chen lived.

When she arrived at the place, Yahuan went up and knocked on the door first, and no one paid attention to it after knocking for a long time, so she could only return to ask the master.

"This kid can't be uncomfortable in his heart and sleep too late to get up yet, right?" Ye Junshou joked while waving his hand for the manservant to call the door.

But this time, there was still no movement inside.

Everyone began to feel a little abnormal, and Academician Zhao was even more simply, stretching out his index finger and drawing a perspective charm on the window.

So, the truth was revealed, and there was no one in the house at all.

Rao is Ye Junshou has always been calm, and he can't help but be a little confused at this time.

This...... Where's this little bastard? Wouldn't it be ...... Let's run??

"Someone, break the door for me!"

"Yes!" several of the manservants rushed forward and kicked the door open.

There was really no one inside, even the quilts were neatly folded, and it was obvious that the guests had already left.

Ye Junshou and Academician Zhao glanced at each other, and both showed wry smiles.

The rest of the Dongping Academy people also looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

It stands to reason that they came over to pick up someone this morning, why did this kid run away ahead of schedule? Could it be that the news leaked?

This is also unlikely, at present, the people who know this news, except for Ye Junshou, Academician Zhao and several high-level figures of Dongping Academy, the rest are gone, how can this kid know about it?

Strange, so weird......

"Newspaper, my lord, here are two letters. The servant found something on the table and immediately reported it, not daring to delay for a moment.

Ye Junshou glanced at the names, but he was not too embarrassed to open the seal at will, so he could only order someone to go to the residence of Lord Hong and Chaoyan first, call them over, and let them see for themselves.

After receiving the news, the two of them were very surprised and immediately rushed over.

"Brother Ye, what's going on?" Lord Hong seemed to have just gotten up, and his clothes were not neatly dressed.

"See for yourself. Ye Junshou shook his head and handed him the letter.

Lord Hong opened the letter and looked at ten lines.

The content of the letter is very short, and the general meaning is: The teacher is above, and the student Yi Chen is here to say sorry, and I was very sad to hear a shocking news last night.

Although Lord Ye and Dongping Academy saved my life and were kind to me, they also canceled my fame and intended to imprison my freedom.

Life in the world, it is inevitable to encounter injustices, the son said that the gentleman should repay virtue with virtue, to repay grievances directly, I have always been like this, if others bully the head and can not fight back, what is the fun of being a man?

It's just that the enemy is powerful and the means are despicable, and if I insist on going my own way, it will inevitably involve the innocent.

After thinking about it again and again, only by carrying this matter alone can I live up to everyone's kindness to me.

Therefore, I am gone, your previous advice, I should remember, although I have no merit, but I care about the world, and I do not live up to the teachings of adults.

Student Yi Chen, bow down.

After reading the letter, Lord Hong felt uncomfortable for a while.

This stinky boy, just leave, what kind of letter do you write, I just don't want to make people feel better!

Having said that, he folded the letter and put it in his arms and put it away closely.

On the other side, Chao Yan also opened the letter that Yi Chen left for her.

This content is much longer, after all, the two sides are the same age, the distance between their hearts is relatively close, and they can say anything, and the relationship between Yi Chen and this little aunt and grandmother is indeed relatively delicate, before leaving, there are still some things that I usually dare not say, or are embarrassed to say, and want to spit it out.

When Chao Yan saw half of it, he blushed and his heart beat, and he almost threw away the letter paper on the spot.

But after looking around, she steadied herself, read the letter, and then tucked it into her sleeve and kept silent.

Fortunately, the people around her didn't have time to talk to her, and they were all urgently discussing Yi Chen's escape.

Lord Hong and Academician Zhao are completely messed up, the originally carefully arranged plan is useless in the end, and the conditions agreed to by the Qinghe Valley seem to be useless.

It's really depressing when this kind of thing happens!

For now, it is better to find out the guy who leaked the secret as soon as possible, and at the same time send more people to find Yi Chen and get him back.

Lord Ye is the best at dealing with this, and immediately called his henchmen and guards, asking him to go to the government office, notify him, immediately block the city gate, and strictly prohibit people under the age of fifteen from entering and leaving.

The guards received the order and immediately rushed out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they arrived at the door, a group of people rushed in violently, and the subordinates couldn't stop them.

The person at the head is a woman, with thin eyebrows and thin lips, and evil eyes, which is the Mei Protector who came a few days ago.

"Lord Ye. As soon as she came up, she went straight to the point and said: "You are really 'true to your word', my Qinghe Valley has always treated you with courtesy, and I am full of sincerity in this matter, but you are so 'true to your word'?"

"What's wrong?" Ye Junshou was already in a bad mood, and hearing her accusations like this at this time made him even more angry!

However, he is also a county parent official, and he still has the basic psychological quality, so he finally suppressed his anger and did not attack on the spot.

"See for yourself. Protector Mei sneered and waved his hand.

His men immediately brought up a stretcher, lifted the white cloth that covered it, lit it up, and covered it again.

Everyone saw very clearly that there was a dead man inside, with a wounded heart and a hideous face, and he should be dead.

And Qinghe Valley came to the door to ask for an explanation so violently, it was obvious that the deceased was their person, but for some reason, they would find Ye Junshou.

It is said that with the identity of Ye Junshou, even if he kills one or two disciples of Qinghe Valley, the other party will never come directly to the door like this, and now with this posture, it is obvious that something is wrong.

It was precisely with these in mind that Ye Junshou temporarily suppressed his anger and asked for the details of the matter.

Mei Protector snorted coldly and said: "Lord Ye, we can trust you, so we have let that kid stay in your house for the past few days, and there has been no nuisance, but last night, this stinky little ghost suddenly escaped, and sneaked into our mansion in the east of the city in the Qinghe Valley, and made a lot of trouble! Kill my disciple! Burn my house! You say, how can we bear such a thing!?"

"Is there such a thing??" Ye Junshou couldn't help but widen his eyes after listening.

In his impression, although Yi Chen's style is relatively rigid, he is still a smart and upright young man by nature, and he is sophisticated, not like such a reckless and ruthless person.

But Mei's protector is also full of words, and even the evidence has been laid out, but he can't believe it.

Besides, Yi Chen, this kid has indeed escaped, what he did last night, Ye Junshou can't guarantee.

What if what Protector Mei said is true? Wouldn't it be embarrassing......
