"Go and call the guards. Yan Ke said to me.

"Oh. I got up from the ground, straightened the hem of my clothes, and ran out of the house with uneven steps.

After leaving Yan Ke's sight, I laughed softly, but I didn't dare to slack off, stumbled outside Yan Ke's courtyard, and shouted into the distance: "Someone, the son has been attacked!"

The secret sentry of Jinyi Villa appeared first, and rushed to Yan Ke's room in a more uniform manner, and the guards also arrived later, and the head of the guard was called Yan Xiao, who seemed to be quite familiar with "me", and after carefully questioning me, he also led the team into the small courtyard.

I lifted the hem of my skirt, stood on tiptoe, and ran and jumped behind the group.

The probe looked into the room, and saw that the attacker had been tied up with a lot of flowers, squeaking and whining, which sounded strange, but when he looked closely, it turned out that his throat was seriously injured, and he was probably unable to speak;

This scholar of all kinds is in line with my habit of dealing with the wicked.

"Isn't this Han Lao Qi, a gangster in the rivers and lakes, doing some things like stealing chickens and dogs, and robbing houses. Did you eat the gall of a leopard today? You dare to come to Jinyi Villa to make trouble, and you still want to attack our son? Don't die!" Yan Xiao walked up and threw a big mouth at the attacker, this Han Laoqi couldn't speak, he could only stare wide-eyed, kick and scream.

"Take it with you. Yan Ke waved his hand in disgust and commanded.

Turning sideways, the person holding Han Laoqi didn't take a few steps before he heard a few cooes and "ouch" cries behind him.

"Who spilled a mess of water here? One of the guards got up from the ground and cursed.

I blinked my eyes, smiled at the corners of my mouth, and looked up at the white clouds in the sky.

"Go get another pot of hot water. ”

Yan Ke's voice suddenly sounded in my ears, and I didn't even notice it, so it was natural that I was startled. It's been a long time since I've been so scared.

I closed my eyes and took a breath. After two seconds, he opened his eyes, relieved, bowed his head and saluted, "Okay, Childe." ”

patted his chest all the way, and it was almost to the kitchen to calm down. I muttered in my heart: The light skills of the Variety Scholar are very high, or was I just carried away and neglected?

Shaking his head: No, no, I have seen his light skills in Liuzhou Lincheng before, it should be under me, I must be too light on the enemy and negligent.

Bring back a pot of hot water from the kitchen again.

The water that had been spilled on the floor had been cleaned up, and it was strange that this shouldn't be "my" job? who did it for me?

Placing the kettle next to Yan Ke's hand, he lifted it, filled two small teapots, and soaked for a while. The smell of sandalwood in the room faded, and a faint fragrance of tea wafted in.

Yan Ke took two small teacups with a thumb length and width from the side, and took tea from the two teapots respectively, and only poured half a cup. He looked up at me, pointed to two teacups with his eyes, and said, "Drink." ”

Although this "Xiaomei" is also good-looking, it is not so good that she has such a good relationship with the Variety Scholar? Or did the Variety Scholar realize that I was pretending to be and wanted to poison me? Fortunately, when I entered Jinyi Villa, I ate a pure water made of astragalus like a spring. As the name suggests, with this pill, all liquids can be purified like spring water. In the words of astragalus, even if you drip arsenic, you are not afraid, but I am very skeptical about this, but I have never verified it.

I hesitated for two seconds, stretched out my hand, picked up a cup, and saw that it was bright in color, and when I drank it, I tasted the bitterness for the first time, but the bitterness melted in my mouth, and the mouth was long-lasting and sweet, and the aroma was high. I picked up another cup, the soup was a little darker, and when I drank it, I barely tasted the bitterness, and the aroma slowly extended from the base of the tongue to the whole nasal cavity, and there was a slight cool air when it passed through the throat. There is still such tea.

"You're drinking Pu'er tea from Zizhou. The first cup is Lao Panzhang tea, which is strong, heavy and mellow, and full of domineering, and the second cup is Icelandic tea, which is rich and aggressive. Yan Ke also drank two glasses himself and explained to me.

"Go and put down the curtain on the bed, there should be mosquitoes in a moment. Yan Ke looked out the window and said to me again.

I followed his gaze and looked out the window: blue, purple, red and orange, colorful, it was the sunset.

The bed was in the inner room, and I walked in and lowered the curtains.

When he came out, he saw Yan Xiao asking for instructions outside the door: "Son, the mourning hall has been arranged, and the filial piety clothes have been bought and distributed." This is your filial piety, and I also brought Xiaomei's with me. ”

Yan Ke sighed and said, "Arrange more manpower to guard the mourning hall." Seeing this dress makes me even more sad. Sort out all the people or sects that have had a holiday with the villa, write them down, and bring them to me in seven days. ”

Yan Xiao glanced at me and nodded, "Yes, Childe." ”

"Let's go down. Yan Ke said weakly.

Yan Xiao glanced at me again, as if he had something to tell me.

"Go down too. Yan Ke said to me.

What's going on? The atmosphere is weird.

I saluted and stepped back with Yan Xiao.

Walking out of the small courtyard, Yan Xiao came over to me and said, "Cousin, seize the opportunity to serve my son well these days." Now that the master is gone, he is the son in charge. Our family and Yan Ke are both ancestors, but we are the outer eight branches, if you behave well this time, we will be able to be in charge, you know!"

"Now no one knows that you are my cousin, and they are not wary of you, what a great opportunity, don't miss it. ”

It turns out that Xiaomei and Yan Xiao still have such a relationship. So looking at Yan Ke's reaction, he knows it? Things are a bit complicated.

"Hmm. Fearing that the voice would reveal my identity, I nodded back.

"Don't be ashamed, if it doesn't work, I'll ask your sister-in-law to come and tell you about it tomorrow. ”

I shook my head busily, shook my head and lowered my head shyly.

"Come on, you can do it yourself. Don't take advantage of the opportunity, remember?"

I nodded desperately.

Yan Xiao was very satisfied and said, "I'll ask someone to bring you more hot water in a while, and dress up well." ”

This "cousin" is really worrying. But a hot bath, sounds pretty good.

I squeezed out a hearty smile.

Yan Xiao was even more satisfied.

I was thinking of something else in my heart: Wo Mengxuan came to complete the task, not only met my need to be close to Yan Ke's identity, but also gave me such a cousin with a background and some status, which is full of praise, I must report this mission experience to Leng Yijun.

With this in mind, I walked deeper into the villa.

With such a high-powered cousin, I unscrupulously went deep into Jinyi Villa to explore the distribution and duty of the guards and secret posts in the villa, and I gained a lot.

When I returned to the courtyard, it was already dark and the lights and candles were lit.

Yan Ke's door was closed, and there was the sound of running water inside, which should be taking a bath.

I found Xiaomei's room and saw that the hot water bucket was also ready, and some flower petals were sprinkled on it, and some refined essential oils were dripped on it. You're welcome, untie your clothes and step into the water.

Three quarters of an hour later, Yan Xiao sent someone to collect the hot water. There was also wormwood that the little servant brought to dry, put it in the brazier and lit it to repel mosquitoes.

After that, Yan Ke stayed in the room. He was either looking up in thought, picking up a small object and playing with it in his hands, and from time to time, he would pace around the room, not knowing whether he was walking around at random or studying some footwork.

As the night deepened, Yan Ke stretched out his right arm, opened his palm, and beckoned to me: "Come here." ”

I stepped heavily and walked towards him.

"It's a little hot tonight, so you can spread out this bamboo chair and use it as a bed. Yan Ke was talking about the bamboo chairs next to the tea table and under the windowsill.

I nodded. Tonight is the night, so I can only lie on this bamboo chair.

Yan Ke walked into the inner room and rested on the bed.

I closed the courtyard door, closed the door of my room, and lay down on the cot, looking at the white paper shining through the moonlight on the window.

I can't remember how long I watched it, but I felt my head suddenly slip from my arm, and it turned out that the bamboo chair was lying comfortably, and I dozed off unconsciously.

Turning his head to look at the inner room, Yan Ke was still lying on the bed, his breathing was light and balanced.

Continuing to look at the window, the moonlight had moved from one window to another.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flew by.

Who could it be at this moment?

Turning his head, he looked at the inner room again, and the bed was empty.

I looked carefully at the room, and I didn't see Yan Ke in the open space, and there was a sound when the wooden door of the closet opened and closed. Could it be that he is hidden in the shadows?

The duty of the night watchmaid is to ensure the safety of Gongzi Yan Ke.

I walked carefully, walked to the front of the inner room, and called out easily, "Childe." ”

No one answered.

I continued into the inner room, lifting the curtains of the bed, and there was no sign of a mechanism, and the wooden bed itself had no possibility of hiding.

Skirting the bed and walking to the other side of the inner chamber, there was a faint reflection of light in the afterglow. Turning his head, he saw Yan Ke standing in a dark corner, with a glossy silver ring on his thumb, which reflected the light through the faint moonlight in the room.

When Yan Ke saw me seeing him, he raised his index finger to his mouth and made a "shhh" sound at me.

I stopped where I was, not knowing where to put myself.

Yan Ke raised his hand, his thumb shining at his bed.

My brow furrowed, and I wasn't sure I understood what he meant.

Yan Ke pointed at me again, clicked, and pointed his finger back to his bed.

This ever-changing scholar wants me to pretend to be him and lie on the bed?

I snorted in my heart, and as he instructed, I turned back to his bed, lifted the curtains, and lay down in my clothes. frowned again: This person, even incense is smoked on the bed?

Outside the window, the dark shadow flashed again.

My whole body was on alert, my eyes were fixed on the window, and my afterglow locked on Yan Ke.

The dark shadow appeared for the third time, and this time, it stopped on the window paper. When the shadow turned, I narrowed: what are these ears? What is this? tail?

Just as he was thinking, a meow came from outside the door, not far away, not close, just where the black shadow was.

Is it just a cat? A cat practicing jumping on the wall?

The bed curtain in front of him was raised, and Yan Ke sat down on the edge of the bed.

His eyes didn't look at me either, his right arm crossed over me, and he drew a long sword from a thin stack of quilts against the wall.

It turns out that his previous action was to instruct me to take the sword? He actually put a sword on the bed?

It's just a cat, too, where are there many assassins in the small Jinyi Villa?

Yan Ke got up and opened the window of the inner room, and the moonlight immediately sprinkled on the floor in the room.

As I saw today, the scholar has a strong sense of observation and a high sensitivity to changes in the surrounding environment, so it is difficult to make a move against him, and if you want to catch him, you can only win with one move.

Well, the time has not come, so I have to continue to get along with the variety scholars.

I thought, and sat up on Yan Ke's bed.

"The weather is getting hotter, but it's still comfortable to fall asleep on a bamboo chair. After Yan Ke finished speaking, he walked to the bamboo chair where I had just slept and lay down.

I was left alone in the inner room, and the night breeze blew in through the window, cool and comfortable. It seems that it is more comfortable to lie in bed. Soon, I figured it out: the windows were open, and even though I was comfortable, mosquitoes from outside the house would fly in. There is no curtain separating mosquitoes on the bamboo chairs.

Could it be that the window was not opened before, the bed was stuffy, and Yan Ke never slept?

I tiptoed to the window and closed it. Glancing at Yan Ke, he was lying on his side with his eyes closed, his hands in front of him, white and slender.
