She was surprised and heartbroken, supported him, and carried him to the bed with Wei Yinniang, who came over.

Li Yan sat down slowly, pointed to one of his legs, and said with a smile: "It's no big deal." It's just that I was injured a few months ago, and I was almost fine, but because I was in a hurry to enter Beijing, I was sloppy on the road, and the weather was getting hot, and the injury came out again. ”

"Did you call the Imperial Doctor? The Imperial Doctor's Department heals this wound—"

She snapped and stopped.

In a hurry, she blurted out the words of the past for a while, forgetting his current identity.

He is no longer the imperial grandson of the past.

Since Prince Jingsheng attempted suicide in the palace, and her Aya became the emperor on the throne, he was destined to see the light of day and became a person who could only live in the dark night.

She closed her mouth in a hurry and looked at Li Yan uneasily, and the strong sense of guilt she felt when she was facing Yin Niang tonight hit her again.

Li Yan laughed, shook her hand gently with relief, and motioned for her to sit next to him as well.

"I'm fine. Your sister has already found a good man to see it for me, and she will recover after a few days of recuperation. The reason why she didn't dare to call you immediately a few days ago was because I couldn't see the light of day, and I didn't know if it was appropriate for you to know, so I hesitated for a long time. Fang Cai didn't plan to come out to meet you like this, for fear of scaring you......"

Su Yu's heart warmed, and he immediately grabbed his sleeve and shook his head vigorously: "I know you're good, it's too late for me to be happy!" It's true! ”

Li Yan touched her head lovingly, and teased in a low voice: "Why is it exactly the same as when I was a child!" Then he looked her up and down in disguise: "Sister, I heard what you and your sister said just now." You went back to Chang'an, and you didn't immediately recognize your emperor Aya, do you have any thoughts? ”

Su Yu didn't have time to answer, and at this time, he suddenly heard a sound of hurried footsteps from the corridor outside the door, and someone knocked on the door.

Yin Niang, who had been watching them quietly from the side, immediately walked out, came back quickly, and said quickly to Li Yan: "Jin Wuwei is coming this way!" I'm afraid it's not safe here anymore! They've got the path arranged! Waiting for you below! You go! ”

After Li Yan came here a few days ago, in order to cover people's eyes and ears, the guards who accompanied him all settled down nearby in the capacity of merchants and porters.

Li Yan's expression tightened slightly, turned his head to look at the surprised Su Yu, nodded at her, and then took the big coat handed by Yin Niang, turned around and was waiting, suddenly at this time, a person dressed as a merchant rushed outside, and said to Li Yanyu: "Lang Jun! Oh no! Can't go! Or our whereabouts are exposed, and we're here for you tonight! The one who just arrived was not an ordinary Jin Wuwei, it was Lu Wusi's people! A strict curfew has been ordered to be imposed on this workshop temporarily! Not only that, but the entire outside of Pingkang Fang was fenced off! The spies said that there was a crossbowman every ten steps outside the wall, and the family had already started to search! ”

This person's voice fell, and there were bursts of gongs on the street outside, and Fang Zheng was clearing the street with people, shouting and shouting as he walked: "Ordered to arrest the snitch!" Everyone, no matter what, will go home quickly! The store is closed! Waiting to check! If you violate the order and dare to obstruct official business, you will be punished with the same party! ”

Li Yan walked behind the window sash, pushed a corner a little, and looked down. Torches were lit around the intersection of the street below, and from a distance, it looked like countless sparks moving rapidly on the ground.

The passers-by who were still outside unexpectedly had this accident, scattered in a hurry, and the guests who were indulging in the carnival in the Qinglou wine shop were even more disappointed, some kept complaining, and some scolded and scolded, but Lu Wusi's authority is full of people in the city, the emperor's minions, performing official duties tonight, who dares not to obey, if he is arrested and thrown into prison, he will not take off his three-layer skin, I am afraid that he will not be able to get out.

Soon, the originally lively streets became deserted, and every house was closed, leaving only the Jinwu guards and horsemen who patrolled and set up guards on the streets.

Li Yan closed the window and turned his head and asked, "Who led the team of Lu Wusi tonight?" ”

"The surname Pei came in person!"

His face was solemn, and when he was silent, another person rushed in outside, a man dressed as a horseman, and said anxiously: "Lang Jun, Lu Wusi's people will come here to check immediately!" Can't stay here, it's too dangerous! Why don't we split up, I'll take Shiro, Liulang, and Fifteen Lang and them to forcibly break in, pretending to be you, and luring them away. They are going to catch them alive, and if we give them up, we will be able to hold them out for a while! ”

He turned to the vendor: "You and San Lang Qilang protect Lang Jun and wait for the opportunity to turn to Caohe Ferry in the northwest corner of the fang as soon as possible, where there are our own people." Get on the boat, avoid inspection, and look for a chance to go out of town again! ”

"No! It's too risky! In case you can't get out of both sides! That Pei Er is not an easy person to deal with! Lang Jun's leg injury is not light, walking is a problem, if you catch up, how to walk! ”

Before a decision could be made here, there was a faint sound of talking outside the wall, if a group of people were walking towards it.

“…… Alas! Alas! I've said it all, my daughter who lives here has a VIP buyout! How could there be any snitch hidden? If you want to check it out in another courtyard, I will take you personally! There's really nothing going on here! I'll pack the tickets for you, don't frighten my daughter—"

It was the voice of the false mother named Jin Xianglan here.

This old bustard didn't know that Wei Yinniang hid an injured person here a few days ago, and he was afraid of offending the distinguished customer who bought out Yumian, so he followed and tried his best to dissuade him.

The faces of several people in the cabinet changed, and they glanced at each other.

I didn't expect people to come so quickly.

Outside, Liu Bo was entangled by the old bustard, and ordered someone to grab it and fork it out directly, let the old bustard shout behind him, and he led people into this place to find quiet.

As a rule, block the doors first, check the courtyard, and don't let go of even a corner. Seeing nothing unusual, he immediately climbed the stairs and came to the bottom of the attic porch.

The light was shining through the window, but the door was closed, and after a few taps, he didn't respond, and with one foot open, he led the people through an uninhabited outer room, and then through an inner corridor, and carefully inspected them as they passed, and finally entered an inner room that looked like a dormitory.

In front of him was a curtain barrier that hung quietly low. Liu Bo lifted it open, raised his eyes and saw a beautiful woman in a spring shirt lying in a half-bedroom on a kettle door bed opposite, with a charming posture and a moving posture. In front of a couch table opposite the beauty, someone is holding a paintbrush and facing away from Liu Bo, who is drawing a portrait on paper, looking like a painter.

The two of them posed one and the other painted, concentrating and distracting, until Liu Bo opened the curtain and broke in at this moment, and the beauty lying on the bed was shocked, snorted softly, and sat up quickly.

"Kim Wuwei routine check-up! Get all up! Stand by for me! ”

Liu Bo shouted.

The painter holds a paintbrush and turns his face to look at it.

Liu Bo's eyes widened on the spot, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Is that you? How could you be here! ”

He recognized it at a glance, this person was actually the Ye Xiaolangjun he had sent to Pei Sicheng some time ago!

Chapter 36

About ten days ago, Lu Wusibu's spies in the east of the city noticed a suspicious mansion.

A merchant who reported that he was selling cloth in the East Market rented an empty house and moved in to bring in the goods.

It's nothing. New merchants arrive in the city almost every day. But now the situation is special, and the merchant is the most convenient identity in Chang'an City to be able to conceal illegal acts, both with manpower and reason to move around, so there is an order from above that any new arrival, especially the trader, must be investigated to eliminate suspicion.

The spy took a closer look, as usual, and immediately noticed that something was wrong.

This group of people does not go out frequently every day like normal businessmen, and after settling down, they occasionally drive trucks in and out in the morning and evening, and when they arrive in the downtown area, the team often loses a few people and does not know where to go. So he asked the merchants in the market to go up and talk, saying that they wanted to buy a large number of goods, and the other party's reaction was not as enthusiastic as that of normal vendors, so they reported the situation, and then received instructions to strengthen monitoring in the surroundings. Unexpectedly, no one came out for the next two days.

Liu Bo, who was in charge of the matter, sensed that something was wrong and ordered to go inside to check, but found that the house was empty, and only cloth was left inside. It is speculated that the surveillance should be discovered by the other party, there is a lot of woodland in this square, which is conducive to hiding, and those people quietly went out of the house at night, scattered elsewhere in the morning, and then disappeared.

This is what he hurriedly went to find Pei Xiaoyuan to tell him early that morning.

After receiving the news, Pei Xiaoyuan personally went over to check that day. Although the other party acted cautiously and did not leave any traces of valuable life, after a careful search, he still found an anomaly behind the house and dug up a pile of buried medicine residue. According to Langzhong's identification, one of them is exhausted blood, also known as Qilin exhaustion, which is a elixir for the treatment of wound sores. It can be inferred from this that someone was hiding here to recuperate from his injuries. The other party transferred in a hurry, and it is very likely that the injury has not healed, and this medicinal material comes from the overseas southern continents of Zhenla and Linyi Kingdom, the price is high and the quantity is small, and many medicinal herb shops in Chang'an are not stocked.

Lu Wusi then conducted a large number of secret investigations, and found that in the past five or six days, a total of more than 100 people in the city have bought this medicine. After being eliminated one by one, there was a medicinal herb shop in Pingkang Fang, and there was no drug object, and the time for selling medicinal materials was night, when the door of the workshop was closed, and it was unlikely that the person who bought the medicine came from another city.

It is inferred from the above that the suspicious person who escaped before is very likely to be still hiding in Pingkangfang at this moment to continue to recuperate.

This is the origin of this sudden curfew tonight.

Liu Bo led a few of his subordinates to search here, but he never expected that he would meet an acquaintance, and in shock, he saw that Ye Xiaolangjun also recognized him, as if he was frightened by himself, he hurriedly explained: "Catch the snitch tonight, and there is a temporary night ban in the workshop, so I just broke in." Xiao Langjun, why are you here? ”

Su Yu came to his senses: "I see. I'm here tonight to make a portrait of Yumian Niangzi. I was too engrossed in the drawing, and I didn't hear the sound outside, I really shouldn't have been! As he spoke, he put down his pen and came to meet him.

Liu Bo waved his hand to signal her to take care of herself, walked to the long table covered with a long piece of drawing paper, and glanced at the portrait she had just drawn. Although he has only hooked the line and fixed the bones, he has begun to have eyebrows and facial features, but the person who painted it has been clear at a glance, and he is lying on a few halves, which is the Qiu Niang who is turning her back and hurriedly wearing clothes.

Su Yu explained: "Didn't I make a funeral painting for the princess of Xiping County in Ci'en Temple a few days ago? It just so happened that this Yumian lady also went to worship the Buddha, passed by the stone room, saw my painting, and was fortunate to have her favor, and asked me to come here to paint a private portrait for her, so that it could be transformed into a screen. There was nothing to do tonight, so I came, but I didn't expect to meet Liu Sijie by such a coincidence. ”

While Liu Bo continued to listen to her, his eyes had secretly swept around the dormitory to see where there might be Tibetans.

The foot of the bed was flat, almost level with the floor, and there was no room for an adult to hide underneath.

Inside the bed tent, the quilt is thin and soft, and it can't cover people.

He paced as he spoke, walked behind the window, and pushed it out to inspect the outside.

There was no one hiding outside the window steps.

In the end, only the dark pavilion next to the screen remained.

At this time, there was no need for him to speak, the Qiu Niang knew herself, walked immediately, and took the initiative to push open the door.

Liu Bo glanced at a few of his subordinates nearby. A few people entered, searched for a while, and when they came out, they shook their heads at him.

It should be no problem here.

Thinking that Xiao Langjun and Si Cheng had a great relationship, Liu Bo naturally didn't want to be offended, and hurriedly smiled: "There is a lot of fright, Xiao Langjun, you continue!" If there's nothing to do, I won't bother, I'll retire first. ”

Su Yu nodded with a smile, still standing in front of the painting: "Then I won't send Liu Sijie." ”

"You don't have to, you have to paint!"

Liu Bo was about to leave with his subordinates, when he heard the sound of boots entering the courtyard downstairs outside, and the repeated complaints of the old bustard that he had just ordered someone to fork out.

"Pei Sicheng, you have to make the decision for me, your subordinates are too rude! Just now he told someone to throw me out, and he broke into my woman's house with seven or eight rough men! Si Cheng, look, how long has it been since you went up here? I can have a child! He can't come down yet! What kind of heart is this? Don't you covet my daughter's beauty? Oops my ass, oh my daughter—"

Liu Bo secretly scolded the bustard in his heart, walked out quickly, and sure enough, he saw his boss coming upstairs.

The location of this green building is excellent, almost in the middle of the square, which is conducive to sending and receiving messages, so Pei Xiaoyuan assigned tasks at the nearby street entrance, and the teams searched one by one in all directions, and he himself was patrolling nearby, and he happened to meet this old bustard who complained non-stop, and heard that Liu Bo was in this small building, so he also came up to check the situation.

"I've seen Si Cheng!" Liu Bo hurriedly saluted, explaining that it was the old bustard who blocked him and didn't let him go, so he did all the hands.

Pei Xiaoyuan stopped on the porch, glanced at the deep door that showed the light and asked, "Have you finished searching here?" ”

"Yes, it's all checked, nothing happens, and my subordinates are leaving."

Pei Xiaoyuan bowed slightly, looked around, turned around and walked away, Liu Bo hurriedly followed, and said: "Si Cheng, you said that it is not a coincidence, Ye Xiaolangjun happened to be here tonight, and he was making a portrait of Qiu Niang here. I just went in, and when I saw Xiao Langjun at first glance, I really didn't expect it, but it scared me. ”

Pei Xiaoyuan was about to walk down the stairs, when he heard the words, he slowly turned his head, looked back at the door again, and stopped.

After Lu Wusi's people left, Qiu Niang Yumian returned to the position of Fang Cai, put on a posture of sitting and lying, and the rain opposite her also continued to paint her posture, and suddenly at this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside, and soon, someone turned the curtain and walked in.

Yu Mian looked at the opposite side in a flash.

This time, it was not the heavily armed Jingo officer who had just arrived, but a very young-looking man.

He was wearing a plain robe of blue color, with a customary tortoiseshell belt tied around his waist, his face was clear, his expression was stretched, without the slightest deliberate oppression, and he exuded a wisp of green incense.

But from the moment the young man appeared, the mood took a sharp turn. The moment he stood beside the screen and raised his two sharp gazes like Qingfeng, Yu Mian's breath couldn't help but stagnate, and his heart also hung violently.

It was the first time she had seen this person. But judging from the respectful expression of the officer who returned after him, the young plainclothes man in front of him should be the "Pei Er" mentioned by Li Yan and his subordinates.

Her nails had been poked deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain, she only held her breath, and watched as the man looked around, looked at Su Yu, walked unhurriedly, walked to her side, didn't say a word, lowered his face slightly, as if he had seen her painting.

Under his gaze, Su Yu's hand that was carrying a paintbrush and sketching the beauty on the paper turned sluggish, frozen, and finally stopped completely.

She slowly raised her eyes and met Pei Xiaoyuan's eyes staring at her.

At the moment when the two of them met each other's eyes, her heart instantly became as clear as a mirror.

He didn't even look at what she was drawing.

What he had been looking at was her face.

Her eyelashes trembled uncontrollably, and after a moment, she stopped looking at him and slowly drooped her eyelids.

In the silence of the dormitory that pressed from all directions like death, forcing people to breathe, Pei Xiaoyuan suddenly leaned down slowly, as if to take a closer look at some details of her paintings.

At this time, Yin Niang's face was pale, if it weren't for the bed railing behind her, I was afraid that she would not be shaky, and she could hardly even sit still.

Just when Liu Bo and his fake mother were pulling outside the courtyard wall, a painting that could accommodate people in the space below was quickly laid out here, and a brocade case barrier hanging down on all sides and more than a foot long was paved. The two members jumped from the small window and escaped from the dark alley, while Li Yan, he nailed the two daggers deeply to the left and right teeth on both sides of the painting, using this as the borrowing point of his hands, and his feet against the leg corners of the painting, with his own strength, he suspended his whole person under the surface of the painting.

Yin Niang was worried about Li Yan's physical strength, but she didn't know how long he could support such a state. By this time, however, her original fears had completely lost their meaning.

If this person continued to lean over, as long as he went down a few inches, he would see Li Yan hidden behind the falling Mianjin case barrier!

At this time, Su Yu's hand holding the pen was still hovering in the air, but the little ink condensed on the tip of the pen could no longer support it, and it slammed on the drawing paper.
