Just arrived at the second watch.

Xuan Su stood outside the courtyard wall of the Sincerity Mansion and glanced up.

Are the walls high?

Naturally, it's not high at all.

With his skills, he doesn't need to rely on anything else to borrow, and he can jump up after a few steps.

There is no moonlight tonight, there are few stars, the hour is late, and it is pitch black, even if he does not wear night clothes, Xuan Su dares to say that he will never be discovered.

But it's weird.

It's not that Xuansu hasn't climbed over the courtyard wall, or rather, he has a lot of experience in climbing over the wall.

Their lord often lets him follow people, and he has more experience, not to mention the cornices and walls, it is too common to stalk over the wall.

It's just that he never climbed over the courtyard wall of the girl's house.

Moreover, that girl is still their father's fiancée, and she is his future master.

Even if he was running errands for his father, Xuan Su felt weird.

Come to think of it, things still have to be done.

In the dead of night, maybe the county lord has rested.

Xuansu didn't rub any longer, his body jumped in a few steps, and the harrier passed over the wall lightly, and the landing was silent.

After dark, it was very quiet in the Sincerity Mansion.

Xuansu fell in the garden, and there was no bright light in sight, only the shadows of the swaying trees in the near and far distances.

Fortunately, he is good at discerning directions.

Their lord explained very clearly, the Bao'an Garden where the county lord lived was on the northwest side of the mansion, he climbed over the wall from the west side, went out of the garden, and went around a courtyard along the promenade, avoiding the small courtyard in the south, and then walking a few steps on the central axis......

Xuansu remembered it clearly, looked for the past according to his words, and muttered in his heart the more he went.

How did they know so thoroughly?

Speaking of which, I came to Bofu to visit the elders during the Chinese New Year, right?

It is said that they only went to the main courtyard to see the old lady, and sat in the front yard, the two parties did not get married, so they would not go to the county lord's boudoir to walk around, how could their lord figure out the situation in the backyard?

Even if the county lord has mentioned it, if the understanding of the terrain can be clear just by listening, then what scouts do they keep in the army, and what spies do they put in the army?

In addition to reconnoitering the enemy's movements, the spies most often do their daily work is to survey the terrain and terrain, and finally land on the sand table.

Xuan Su was puzzled, but he also found the outside of Bao'an Park.

He still climbed over the wall and went in, and when he heard Bang Yue's low voice, he knew he had found the right place.

Walking around to the back window, Xuan Su knocked lightly.

In the house, Lin Yunyan had just washed her hair, sat in the vanity mirror, and You Bangyue gently wiped her long hair.

The master and servant talked about interesting things, Lin Yunyan laughed, and Bang Yue was also amused.

Then, they all heard the movement in the back window.

Lin Yunyan turned her head in surprise.

Bang Yue's heart was empty: "What sound?" This time ......"

The second half of "Who will knock on the window" let her swallow it herself.

Her courage can't stand "knocking on the door in the middle of the night".

Afraid of being afraid, Bang Yue still cautiously suggested: "The slave and maid called Mama Ma, go and see it together?" ”

Lin Yunyan thought about it, shook her head and said, "No, I'll take a look." ”

How dare Bang Yue let the county lord get into danger, stopped in front of Lin Yunyan, tried to muster up courage, walked to the back window first, and said in a deep voice: "What, what is the movement!" ”

Xuansu replied: "County Lord, little Xuansu." ”

The familiar voice made Bang Yue relax suddenly, and the little girl patted her chest and opened the window.

Lin Yunyan asked, "What is the urgency of Grandpa Guo?" ”

If she is not in a hurry, Xu Jian will ask Chen Gui to give her a message, and if Chen Gui is inconvenient to listen, she should also be asked to go to Taohezhai tomorrow, so as not to let Xuansu come in the middle of the night.

"There's a portrait, I'll let you take a look." Xuan Su said, taking out the folded drawing paper.

Bang Yue took it through the window and handed it to Lin Yunyan.

Lin Yunyan unfolded it and asked casually: "I heard that Dao Heng is dead?" Do you know who killed it? ”

Her gaze fell on the paper, and she blinked, her eyes flickering.

At the same time, she heard Xuansu's reply.

"It's the person in the portrait, the little one watched him take Dao Heng away from the spice shop on West Street and send him to the house in Sidao Hutong, and he left there in the evening, although he changed his clothes, but the little one could feel that there was blood on him."

Lin Yunyan heard it, but didn't say anything, just looked at the drawing paper seriously.

The facial features of the person on top were like a sharp blade, and they slashed hard in her memory, leaving an indelible trace, just like the scar on the other party's chin.

She was impressed by this man.

Lin Yunyan didn't know this person's name and surname, but she knew that the other party's kung fu was not weak, and he was especially good at sneak attacks.

In the past, when she met this person, there was only Shenchen by her side, Xu Jian and Xuan Su took another path, and they acted separately.

In order to facilitate her movements, Lin Yunyan wore men's clothes.

Samchen led the way, and the two hurried through an empty alley in the town.

The crisis came at that moment.

The hidden blade came out of its sheath and went straight to her back.

After all, Lin Yunyan had not studied martial arts in the Eight Classics, and she was not sharp enough when she was sneak attacked, so she relied on Shenchen's quick eyes and quick hands to pull her away.

It's a pity that Lin Yunyan was still injured by the edge of her right arm, and the blood flowed.

The blow did not kill, and the comer did not flinch, but confronted Shenchen.

Because Sanchen was also injured.

The engagement was tough.

Samchen has to protect him, and it is inevitable to deal with the people who come.

Lin Yunyan could only try to avoid it, and she didn't dare to get too far away from Shenchen, in case there were still chasing soldiers, Shenchen would be out of reach.

Fortunately, it seems that there is only this lone wolf chasing them, and there are no more people.

A few times, Lin Yunyan wanted to shoot with an arrow, but she didn't dare to be rash and impulsive.

First, Samchen and the man fought quickly, and his body moved, and second, Lin Yunyan's right arm was injured, and she was not sure if she would miss.

It's just a matter of really hitting the shot, if it hurts Samchen, it's a bad thing.

Lin Yunyan thought about it a lot, but in fact, she didn't have much time, this assassination was lightning, and the fight stopped after more than 100 moves.

Sanchen was seriously injured and couldn't stand up.

That gloomy face stared at Lin Yunyan, and with a grin, he pulled out a smile that made the back of his neck cold, and the ugly scar was like a nail into her mind.

The sharp blade was knocked down a moment ago, and it fell into his hand, and the man reached out to probe, wanting to stab Lin Yunyan with a flying blade.

Lin Yunyan didn't give him a chance.

The big one is a wobbly target, and the sleeve arrow shoots out, and it won't miss.

The arrow burst through the air, and the moment the man grabbed the dagger, the arrow went straight into his brow.

The moment he fell to the ground, his eyes widened into brass bells, full of disbelief.

Lin Yunyan is too familiar with this demeanor.

Everyone she stabbed with her Hidden Arrow was like that when they were dying.

But this time, she didn't care about the killer.

Retrieving the bamboo arrow, Lin Yunyan went to help Shenchen, but Shenchen shook his head at her.

Lin Yunyan didn't speak, and tried her best to support Shenchen out of the empty alley, they waited for Xuansu who came to support, but they couldn't save Shenchen's life.

Later, Lin Yunyan and Xu Jian talked carefully, and what they repeatedly mentioned was the scar on the chin of the visitor.

And now, she's seen it again.

On this portrait, this facial features, this scar.

Xu Jian only asked Xuansu to send her the portrait, but she didn't say much, but Lin Yunyan understood what Xu Jian meant.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Yunyan bowed: "Tell Grandpa Guo that it's him." ”

Xuan Su responded.

Although he has no head and no brain, he is used to it.

There is a tacit understanding between their lord and the county lord, he doesn't understand it's okay, their lord just understands.

"Grandpa Guo has returned home, or is he still in the yamen?" Lin Yunyan asked.

This question is easy to answer, Xuan Su said: "The master is still in the yamen, and Master Shan wants to continue to investigate." ”

Lin Yunyan thought for a while and asked again: "What is the temporary situation?" Tell me more about it. ”

Xuan Su answered one by one.

This case happened right under his nose, and he could answer all kinds of details, and he knew far more than in the yamen.

Lin Yunyan knew it in her heart: "Master Shan doesn't know this, and some of them have checked." ”

Even if Master Shan said it for three days, he will definitely go all out in these three days.

The night breeze blew in through the window, and it was very warm.

This made Lin Yunyan breathe a sigh of relief, but the weather was good these days.

If she was cold from the heavy rain for days like a while ago, she had to remind Xu Jian to pay attention to her leg injury.

Thinking so, Lin Yunyan asked, "What did Grandpa Guo eat at night?" ”

Xuan Su was stunned for a moment, and said honestly: "The little one went to find someone to paint a portrait before, and he didn't follow the grandfather ...... dinner."

Lin Yunyan didn't ask again, just waited for Xuansu.

Turning around and going to the second room, she took a clean food box and filled it with some snacks that she hadn't finished eating at night.

These are all things she brought from Zaijuin.

Grandmother loves to eat dim sum recently, and the old man is rarely greedy, but the dim sum often made in the house follows Lin Yunyan's taste, and the entrance is sweet.

One by one, how dare she eat so sweet?

Chen has already explained the kitchen, and the ones sent a few days ago are okay, but I don't know which kitchen forgot the weight when adding the ingredients, and the bean paste cake was sweet.

As soon as Lin Yunyan said good words, she was coaxed back from Zaishou Courtyard.

Grandmother herself also knew that she couldn't eat like this, one knew it, the other was willing to coax, the grandfather and grandson said a lot of happy words, and all the bean paste cakes were brought to Bao'an Garden.

After Lin Yunyan finished loading it, she returned to the back window: "The bean paste cake made in the afternoon in the house, you bring it to Grandpa Guo." ”

Bang Yue took it and handed over the portrait and food box to Xuansu.

"It's too difficult for him to serve a bowl of tea for Grandpa Guo," Lin Yunyan said with a smile, "You can taste it." ”

Xuansu is a clever person, and he understands it as soon as he listens to it.

This bean paste cake is definitely sweet.

"The little one went back first." He said.

The windows were closed, and only the oil light in the room came through.

At this moment, Xuansu suddenly realized.

He finally understood what was strange!

For such a thing as climbing the wall of the county lord's courtyard, it should be their lord himself, not him standing outside the window alone.

He is not afraid to stand, and it is not difficult to stand until dawn when he is watching, but the county lord is also standing.

Unlike the lord, when he visits in private, he can go into the county lord's house, make a pot of tea, and eat two bites of snacks, just like in the backyard of the peach walnut, and there is no need for anyone to serve him, only the lord and the county lord talk slowly.

That's right.

Merely......

Walking under the west wall, Xuan Su looked up again.

Their grandfather has an old wound on his leg, he can't see it when he walks, he can put on a flower stand to frighten laymen when he dances a gun, and he simply sits on a horse when he rides a horse......

You can't run fast, you can't practice with real knives and guns, and you can't race horses and whips.

used to be a superb martial artist, the ability to enter the camp for the first time and fight all over the school field can no longer be brought into play.

Over the wall, it is even more impossible.

Xuan Su was panicked in his heart, and he still couldn't see anything on his face, so he easily flipped out the Sincerity Bo Mansion and went to Shuntian Mansion.

It's still brightly lit.

Xu Jian was looking through the confessions that the officials asked for from the four alleys.

Judging that Dao Heng died yesterday evening, the officials were meticulous in their questioning, but no matter how detailed they asked, no one knew what was going on.

Only one old man vaguely remembered that there was a sedan chair parked outside the house during the day.

But he didn't pay attention to someone coming down from the sedan chair.

"Dao Heng was captured in other places, he was stabbed in the back heel, fainted again, there was a wound around his mouth, he was gagged," Shan Shen pointed to the record of the inspection, "It should be the sedan chair that was sent, and it was not killed immediately, but it was left until the evening." ”

"That house is their stronghold," Xu Jian said, "I read the previous confession, and said that Dao Heng had lived in Sidao Hutong before, and now it is almost gone, and they are all cross-talking, so Dao Heng died in it, quietly." ”

"It's very deep and ruthless," Shan Shen took a sip of tea to suppress the fire, "The one behind it is really unsightly." ”

didn't take them Shuntianfu in his eyes, and didn't treat Dao Heng as a person.

Dao Heng has been with the other party for so many years, and he will give up.

"Dao Heng is the only one who has been exposed," Xu Jian was not surprised at all, or rather, he just forced the other side to break his tail, "If the exposure is not left, others will be able to do things well." ”

"What the hell is he going to do......" Shan Shen muttered.

After muttering, seeing that Xu Jian glanced at him but didn't speak, Master Shan himself understood.

Lead them to Chenmi Hutong, and it is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who catches them!

It got to the head of the prince, why could it be? It's not for the dragon chair yet.

I understand this, and it's not appropriate to talk about it.

Xu Jian saw that Master Shan looked like he had a toothache, chuckled, and saw that Xuansu was back, so he got up and walked out.

Xuan Su suppressed his voice and said, "The county lord said that it was him." ”

Xu Jian lowered his eyes, and the aura around him sank.

Xuan Su said again: "The county lord is worried that you are hungry at night, so let the little one bring back some bean paste cakes, saying that they are accompanied by some tea." ”

Xu Jian said: "Then go and make a pot of new tea." ”

Xuansu moved quickly, and it didn't take long to send him to the study.

Xu Jian took a piece of bean paste cake, tasted it, and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

It's what the little lord likes to eat.

With this smile, that bit of depression naturally dissipated.

Shan Shen sat aside and looked at him.

Seeing this, Xu Jian didn't hide it privately: "Master Shan also comes to a piece?" Wake up and continue to read the case file. ”

"Then you're welcome." After Shan Shen finished speaking, he took a piece, and his eyes widened at the entrance, "This is too sweet!" ”

Xu Jian took a sip of hot tea slowly, and the sweetness in his mouth melted: "Is it very sweet?" I think it's just right. ”

After speaking, he also went to ask Xuansu who was standing outside.

Xuansu was also eating, and he didn't dare to say that he could have another dessert when he heard the sound, so he followed their master's words and said, "It's just right." ”

Shan Shen: ......
