It was night, Gu Liyou and Duan Jiang were drinking and talking. Seeing how late they met, Ye Sili was a little surprised.
After dinner, it was already dark. Gu Liyou persuaded Duan Jiang to take a rest for the night. Duan Jiang unconsciously glanced at Ye Sili who was silent next to him, and finally refused: "Forget it, the brothers in the village are still waiting.
Follow me back."
After that, he was about to turn around and leave, but was suddenly stopped by Ye Sili.
"It's been raining heavily these past few days and the mountain road is already rugged. It's probably not safe for you to go up the mountain alone at night."
Duan Jiang turned around and looked at her, with some expectation in his eyes, waiting quietly for her to say the next thing.
Ye Sili glanced outside and explained: "The road outside is wet and really unsafe. And since you are willing to cooperate with us, you will need to discuss matters with Ayou tomorrow. It will be troublesome to run around."
Duan Jiang has been here for many years and naturally knows the affairs of Liangcheng very well. Moreover, if there is really a collusion between bandits and officials and they want to find evidence, Duan Jiang's help is indispensable.
Seeing that Duan Jiang did not refuse, Ye Sili ordered Qingluo to take Duan Jiang to his residence.
The next day.
After Ye Sili washed up, she walked to the door and stretched. When she saw Gu Liyou practicing his sword, she took the opportunity to sit on the stone bench in the yard and admired it quietly.
Gu Liyou's long sword flew in his hand, his movements were smooth and swift, even though Ye Sili was staring eagerly, he couldn't see each move clearly.
But it doesn't matter whether you use a move or not.
Ye Sili changed her hand and continued to support it on the stone table, refusing to take her eyes away from Gu Liyou for a moment.
As long as she can see Ayou every day, it will be fine.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Liyou finally noticed someone staring directly at him.
"Why did you get up so early today?"
Gu Liyou put away his sword and walked towards Ye Sili.
"It's been a long time since I saw you practicing sword practice, so I got up early to enjoy it."
Ye Sili stood up and looked at the person near Chi Chi with a smile on his face, feeling full of peace of mind.
On the way from Kyoto to Liangcheng, she experienced many situations she had never encountered before. She was afraid, panicked, and even secretly wiped her tears alone.
Fortunately, at this moment, the morning light appears and the breeze blows, and the person in front of me happens to be the person I want to see...
Gu Liyou lowered his head and looked at the person in front of him. He had so many thoughts at the moment that he could only form one sentence: "Ah Li, thank you."
After hearing this, Ye Sili was slightly startled by her hand movements, but she smiled even happier.
Now that I can see him safe and sound, all the hard work is nothing.
Munchun and Bai Yi stood aside and looked at the two of them thoughtfully, with the corners of their mouths rising involuntarily.
Suddenly, a figure at the corner of the corridor fell into Wuchun's field of vision. Wuchun touched Bai Yi beside him with his elbow.
Bai Yi turned his eyes and looked.
Duan Jiang appeared at some unknown time. He looked at the two people in the courtyard silently, looking lonely.
The moment of tranquility in front of me was broken.
Qingluo entered the courtyard with the letter.
"Princess, Young Master, this is the letter sent by Young Master Jiu Feng."
Nine winds?
Ye Sili put down the towel and quickly took the letter.
The two of them finished reading it quickly, and Gu Liyou couldn't help but look solemn on his brows.
Inside the Ning'an Hou Mansion in Kyoto.
"Sir, please don't embarrass us."
Mu Jiufeng sat on the top of the wall and looked down at the old housekeeper Uncle Wang who was complaining in the corner. He moved his eyes indifferently, glanced at the guards under the wall who were guarding the inside and outside, and said impatiently:
"You guys take turns guarding me for twelve hours a day, aren't you tired?"
Since Sili left, he had sneaked away with Yuanmu several times, and once even ran away for two days, only to be caught by his father.
For more than half a month, he tried all kinds of methods, but Ning'an Hou also had a bad temper and said, "If you dare to run out, I will break your legs!"
I thought it was an angry remark, but it turned out that Mu Jiufeng was really being served by his family every time he was caught.
According to Mrs. Mu, their donkey tempers are simply inherited perfectly.
The Marquis of Ning'an couldn't say anything nice, and if his son didn't obey, he would be treated according to the family law.
Mu Jiufeng had a stubborn temper and would not admit his mistake even if he was beaten to death.
The father and son were in a stalemate like this for more than half a month.
Mu Jiufeng was really being watched closely, so he had to find a way to send a message to Ye Sili and Gu Liyou.
As a result, the Dao is as high as the devil, and the entire Ning'an Marquis Mansion can be called a cage, and no move inside can escape the eyes of Ning'an Marquis.
Therefore, it took more than half a month to secretly send such a letter.
Mu Jiufeng looked at the guards who were tightly surrounding him on both sides. After a stalemate for a long time, he had to turn over and land angrily. He patted the dust on his hands and complained: "That's all, I won't leave."
"Aren't you leaving yet?" Mu Jiufeng turned to look at Uncle Wang and a group of guards who were following him.
Obviously, Uncle Wang knew Mu Jiufeng's character very well and did not believe him at all. He only said: "Master, don't worry, if you stay in the yard honestly and wait for the princess and Master Liyou to come back, we will naturally not come back."
Guarding you."
"..." Mu Jiufeng was so angry that he turned around and went into the house and closed the door with a bang.
"Mr...Mr..." Yuanmu looked at the closed door in front of him in confusion.
The door was suddenly opened, and Mu Jiufeng stood at the door, "Come in!"
Yuan Mu quickly entered the house, turned around, locked Uncle Wang and the others out, and then closed the windows one by one.
Mu Jiufeng sat on a stool and could vaguely see Uncle Wang's figure outside the door. He lowered his voice and said:
"Has the letter been sent out?"
"It's been sent out. If nothing happens, we can reach Liangcheng in the next two days."
"That's good." Mu Jiufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief, but then thought about how someone had tricked him, and he couldn't help but get angry, "His plan for the battle for imperial power has actually come to my Ning'an Marquis Mansion and Yu Gong Mansion."
His fingers rubbed the smooth fan handle, his eyes were slightly lowered, and his expression was unclear.
Suddenly, Uncle Wang's voice came from outside the door: "Sir, the fifth princess is here."
Hearing this, Mu Jiufeng suddenly felt overwhelmed.
Ever since Xiao Ling found out that Si Li had gone to Liangcheng, she was worried. She came to Ning'an Marquis Mansion every now and then to pester Mu Jiufeng with questions.
Mu Jiufeng failed to escape the previous few times, and most of them were because of this.
Xiao Ling had to go with him to Liangcheng. It would be troublesome to take her on the road. Ning'an Hou heard that his traitor had taken the fifth princess away, so he led people to capture them overnight.
"Sir, the fifth princess is clamoring to see you. Look..." Uncle Wang's voice came in again.
Mu Jiufeng closed the folding fan with a headache. Now he could only hope that Liyou and Sili could find out the clues and not fall into Xiao Feng's scheme.
Gu Liyou received the letter and ordered Bai Yi to burn it.
"Jiu Feng said in the letter that he found out that the news about Liangcheng at that time came from the second prince Xiao Feng." Ye Sili was a little confused: "Jiu Feng and I had speculated that the news about Liangcheng might have been blocked intentionally.
Yes, that’s why I didn’t find any information about you at that time.”
