Chapter 523 Helianyan's World (Sadly Falling for Soot 1)
The fight was short-lived and ended just as the owner and guests of the wine shop screamed and prepared to run away.
"The method is good, where did you learn it?" He Lianyan felt that she had underestimated Jiang He'er.
"Why should I tell you?" Jiang He'er said calmly.
"Oh! How proud are you?" He Lianyan came over with a smile, with a hint of ambiguity between her eyebrows.
"Don't come over here, or I'll deal with you."
Jiang Heer pretended to throw something.
Seeing the calm look on the old thief's face, Helianyan asked later: "What method is she using?"
"Bad tactics." The old thief looked calm as if he had already seen through everything.
"The charlatan's tactics?"
"She has been in the martial arts world!"
"She is the only one?" He Lianyan said with a smile, "She is the only one who hangs out in the world and is not deceived?"
"There are several levels in the world. Some are aloof and collude with the government; some are colluding with businessmen, and some form gangs... The lowest level is just hanging out in the market."
"So, which class is she?"
"You'll know just by looking at her, she's definitely above average."
"I understand." He Lianyan asked, "What about you? What rank are you in?"
The old thief patted his butt and left.
Back in Lin'an, He Lianyan interrogated him with murderous intent.
"Don't bother." A secret agent laughed miserably and said, "It's not like you, Helian Yan, have never seen our Eagle Guards before, and you want to pry open our mouths. You are just wishful thinking.
Besides, after prying it open, what do you want to ask? What I know, you also know. The only thing you don’t know is some things in the Eagle Guard. Are you sure you want to ask about those bullshit things?"
He Lianyan said calmly: "What is that widow busy with recently?"
"The Commander-in-Chief has been busy keeping an eye on His Majesty's enemies recently."
"Where is your Majesty?"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has been quite close to the Emperor's uncle recently."
This is expected.
"Don't you have any worries?"
"You know, we Eagle Guards are all independent of each other. When we come to Lin'an, we don't know what's going on elsewhere."
"That's true. However, I want to know who asked you to come and what is the purpose?"
The secret spy said very bachelorly: "There is no arrangement."
"Um?"
He Lianyan frowned, "Don't use the Eagle Guard's method of dealing with torture to deal with me, I will let you know..." She pointed at the old thief, "This one likes to peel off the skin and bones..."
A small knife was turning in the old thief's hand.
Another spy sighed, "It's not an important matter, so it doesn't matter if I talk about it."
"Yes!" It seems that this person is the leader.
"We were wandering on the grassland, wandering among the three major tribes, when we suddenly learned that the Jibo tribe was destroyed. The superior officer in charge of the three major tribes ordered us to come and investigate."
"What are you investigating?" He Lianyan asked.
"Inspect the changes in Chenzhou."
"So, what did you find out?"
"I came to Lin'an five years ago. This time I came back, everything was earth-shaking." The spy smiled sadly: "I don't know how these changes happened. I only know that the person who controlled all of this is very clever!"
He Lianyan stood up and said, "Thank you for the compliment."
She has also seen the changes in Chenzhou, which can be said to be changing with each passing day.
And all of this was brought about by that man.
The spy raised his head and looked at the dead silence, "Ms. Helian, don't forget your uncle."
"hehe!"
He Lianyan went to Zhoushe.
"The envoy has returned."
"good!"
He Lianyan turned around Zhoushe and entered the alley behind.
Behind him, two men followed closely.
This is her person.
Just like He Lianyan, the commander of the Eagle Guard, since he was in charge of this matter, he had to be careful of being cruelly attacked by the other party, so He Lianyan was always surrounded by people.
"Ms. Helian."
The door is very welcoming.
"Is Mr. Lang here?"
"Yes, right in the backyard."
"good."
Helianyan went all the way to the backyard.
Yang Xuan was standing under the eaves, holding a book in his hand and thinking hard.
"What name should I give?"
"Langjun." He Lianyan saluted.
"Well!" Yang Xuan put aside the words in his mind, "But is there something wrong?"
"yes."
"Drink a glass of ice water first."
Someone brought a glass of ice water, and He Lianyan took a sip. It tasted sour and sweet.
“It tastes great.”
"Make it with several things to relieve the heat and appetize."
He Lianyan was already used to it. He Lianyan was used to it that this husband often came up with something. "Those two secret spies told me something."
"Yeah!" Yang Xuan closed the book.
"They were originally Eagle Guard spies wandering on the grassland. After learning that the Jibo tribe was destroyed, they were sent by Shangguan to investigate in Lin'an."
"Search for what?"
"Inspect the changes in Chenzhou."
"Chenzhou's door is open, feel free to look around."
"Mr. Lang, you still have to be wary of those spies!"
"Since the door of Chenzhou is open, it will not be closed for some things."
"I'm just afraid that the other side will come up with some good tricks."
"Assassination?" Yang Xuan smiled, "I have guards around me, what are you afraid of?"
"Be careful after all."
"This man is so unlucky that he will be knocked down by a beam while sitting at home."
Yang Xuan is very optimistic.
The key is that he knows that once the door to Chenzhou is opened, it cannot be closed.
The consequence of closing is that there will be big internal problems.
Those goods have no place to sell, bankrupt businessmen, unemployed people, desperate suppliers of upstream industries... reduced taxes, and a series of changes can make Chenzhou even more depressed than before.
"The door must always be open."
He Lianyan nodded, "I understand. In the overall situation, everything should be avoided."
She took a deep look at Yang Xuan and then left.
"Barbecue lamb tonight, come back early." Huahong reminded her.
Yang Xuan was a little greedy, so he ordered the cook to roast a whole lamb.
"I can already smell it."
The smell of roasted lamb spread from the front yard to the backyard.
When he went out, He Lianyan saw Wang Laoer squatting under the eaves and stared at the kitchen.
Tu Shang sat next to him and looked at the wisp of smoke calmly.
The picture seems to be frozen, as if it has always existed.
Wang Laoer saw her and said with a smile: "Come back early to eat mutton."
"good."
Helianyan responded with a smile.
After leaving Yang's house, she turned around the alley, instead of returning to Zhoushe, she wandered aimlessly.
The streets are full of shops, and there are small stalls along the street. There are also people carrying baskets and carrying baskets on their backs, making it very lively.
"Ice water, ice water with spices added, and a plate of preserved fruits. Ouch, that's a fairy!"
A woman stood outside her shop and shouted, foaming at the mouth.
Helianyan thought of the ice water she drank earlier, and couldn't help but feel something in her heart.
The weather is hot, the evil nature of heat.
"What do you want, madam?"
The woman followed in diligently.
"Ice water, and a plate of preserved fruit."
"Okay! A glass of ice water, not too cold, and a plate of preserved fruit!" the woman shouted loudly.
He Lianyan sat down. At this time, the people working in the workshop began to leave work. There were many people.
"Have a drink!"
These workers refused to buy preserved fruits and couldn't afford ice water, so they had to use water that had been cooled in the well. It was just slightly cold. Drinking it refreshed the body, and the fatigue of the whole day seemed to disappear.
The shop was almost full of people.
Helianyan got her things and took a sip. The water was slightly ice-cold, so it wouldn't be too irritating to drink, which was perfect for a woman.
The preserved fruit tastes pretty good too.
A glass of water, a plate of preserved fruits, watching the people coming and going under the sunset.
The smell of sweat lingered in my nose, and those noisy sounds filled my ears.
But Helianyan felt particularly peaceful.
She thought of Tanzhou.
In fact, the summer in Tanzhou was also beautiful, but at that time, her mind was filled with the secrets of the emperor's uncle, and she had to think about her future path, so she ignored a lot of it.
At that time, why did I live?
He Lianyan thought about it for a while, and it seemed that he had no goal, just to live.
Busy every day just to let the emperor see his own value.
Value was the reason why she lived before.
"Ms. Helian." Someone suddenly greeted her softly from behind.
It's a stranger.
Helianyan's back suddenly felt cold and then stiffened.
"How is Lin'an?"
Helianyan didn't move, "It's okay."
"Someone back home is thinking of you."
"Does he still remember me?"
"I always remember that you have outstanding talents, and you have always been outstanding in those years."
"So, what does he want from me?"
"Go back! Promise to forget the past and enter the Eagle Guard."
"Oh! With that widow?"
"Will the future commander be enough?"
As an emperor and a courtier, if He Lianfeng dies, the first thing the emperor's uncle who succeeds to the throne will do is to replace the chief commander of the Eagle Guard.
A position that only a confidant can hold.
"You know how important the position of commander is."
"He actually trusts me so much?"
"You are a foreigner here, an outsider. But over there, you are a relative. Even if there is some discord among the relatives, it is not a life-or-death feud..."
"He has no intention of keeping silent?"
"Why is this necessary? Once we become a family, we naturally don't have to worry about it."
"I'm just telling you, how could those two spies be so stupid today that they even ate in a restaurant on the way."
"Those two are peripheral people. They are to blame for the destruction of the Jibo tribe this time. They will be stabbed when they go back. In this case, why not use the waste..."
"So, the purpose of your coming here this time is to persuade?"
"Yes. By the way, the emperor's uncle said that if a beauty like Lady Helian is a gift from a man, that man will definitely treat her as a forbidden wife. Why not go back. The emperor's uncle said, just pick the young talents over there."
"Finished?"
"And...the emperor swears that I will give you peace in this life."
"Peace." He Lianyan took a sip of the ice-free water, "I have been seeking peace. But I can't get it. Does the emperor know this?"
"Peace in this life." The man behind promised.
"The emperor wants me to go back just because I know some things about him and tell him. I don't need to say those things."
"No, I am here as an invitation."
"So, you want me to continue serving as his director?"
"The emperor said that the person he is looking for now is so different from you that he is annoyed."
"So, does the emperor value my talents?"
"nature."
"Yes! Talent." He Lianyan smiled and said: "From the time I can remember, I knew that I had to study hard, work hard, and please him hard, so that he could see my value and make my value
The benefits are greater than killing me...like a dog."
"Isn't that what you are doing here now? If that person didn't value your talents, how would he keep you?"
"Why don't you say you value my beauty?"
"If he values your beauty, he won't let you hunt down spies. Beauty should be hidden at home and not shown to others!"
"Where do you think I should go?"
"That's your home."
"My home?"
"right."
"You are very confident."
"Because you are a lost dog here, and when you go back, you will become the future commander. People seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, so I am naturally confident."
He Lianyan reached out and picked up a piece of preserved fruit and put it into her mouth, "It tastes really good!"
Without any warning, a strong wind suddenly blew up from behind.
Helianyan didn't move.
On the right, a big man covered in sweat, gray-faced, and guzzling ice water suddenly waved his hand.
The short knife stopped behind He Lianyan's spine, and the big man's hand held the hand holding the knife.
A tall man's eyes widened, his breath surged, and he rushed forward with all his strength.
But the big hand didn't move at all. The big man sneered, "The wild dogs from Beiliao dare to seek death in Lin'an City!"
He Lianyan stood up and said to the dazed woman: "The preserved fruit is good. By the way, the ice water is not ice-cold enough."
The woman said dullly: "A woman can't drink too cold."
"I can."
He Lianyan walked out of the shop, glanced at the sunset, and then looked at the north.
Go all the way back.
There were two big men behind her, and one of them said: "My lady looks... a little weird, different from the past."
"How is it different?"
"You see her shoulders are loose, but they used to be tight."
"Yes!"
"It's like...relief!"
A group of birds gathered on a big tree, chirping non-stop.
He Lianyan stopped and raised his head, "This is the tired bird returning to the forest."
Several children carrying cloth schoolbags were playing and whizzing by.
Helianyan glanced at it and smiled softly.
Got back home.
"It's time to eat!"
Wang Laoer shouted so loudly that he didn't even bother to ring the bell.
"Coming, coming."
A bunch of people poured out from everywhere.
Wang Laoer stood outside the house and glared at He Lianyan, "The whole family is waiting for you, and you're still taking your time!"
After dinner, He Lianyan went to the backyard to report.
"Yan! Have you eaten?"
Yang Xuan squatted in the yard, eating cold food from a big bowl.
The lengtao infested with locust leaves looks green and seasoned, tsk tsk! It makes people drool.
"have eaten."
He Lianyan asked curiously: "Lang Jun didn't eat roast lamb?"
"tasty?"
“It’s so delicious.”
"I can't eat hot food recently." Yang Xuan felt a little regretful. He took a bite of cold food and said with squinted eyes: "This is not bad. Hey! You are a girl. You should eat less barbecued and fried food in the future."
"Why?" He Lianyan liked this one.
Yang Xuan pointed at his face with the fingers holding the chopsticks, "Those things will make you get acne on your face and make you obese."
Helianyan touched his face in astonishment and thought of his uncle.
The emperor's uncle just ate these things fiercely, so he became fatter and fatter. And she also ate...
"It's okay!" Yang Xuan saw her touching his waist and said, "You are okay now, but it will be hard to say in a few years."
"Then I'll eat less."
"Well! By the way, a woman's body needs to be taken care of. I don't understand what Aning said about taking care of it every month. But you don't have any acquaintances here, and you can't find anyone to talk to when you feel unwell. Aning said
I got some medicine at the same time, and you can take some every month to take care of yourself."
"oh!"
Yang Xuan looked at her and glared, "Is it fun to watch other people eating?"
He doesn't enjoy being watched.
"oh!"
He Lianyan resigned.
After taking a few steps, she turned back.
Why!
The matter has not been reported yet!
But looking at the man squatting there and eating cold food, and the two female guards who were lazily beside her and not even looking at her, she felt that there was no need to report.
She smiled, turned back, and continued walking forward.
The setting sun was slanting, and a ray of light shone on her face from the cracks in the roof tiles. She stretched out her hand to catch the ray of light.
It's like catching hold of your own world.

Thanks to "The Ashes Fall Sadly" for the silver reward.
