The ancestral hall was very quiet, with warm light. Bai Yue said he really wouldn't leave, so he folded blankets on the ground and sat on them to chat with Jian Yu.
Yun'er sneaked outside the ancestral hall and quietly peeked in through the crack in the door.
"Madam." Yun'er went back and reported: "The young master is kneeling in the ancestral hall. Miss Bai has also gone to accompany the young master."
"Well, I knew Yue'er couldn't bear it." Mrs. Jian said with satisfaction, "Okay, let's rest and leave them alone."
The candles in the ancestral hall were kept burning all night long. Captain Xing was bored and ran to the yard for a while. After returning, he squeezed in between Bai Yue and Jian Yu and fell asleep.
Jian Yu looked at a big dog lying between the two of them and asked critically: "Do you think Captain Xing is a little ignorant? Why is he squeezing in between us?"
Bai Yue wanted to reach out and cover Jian Yu's mouth. If you don't talk to people at night, it's easy to get ghosts if you talk to people, especially Captain Xing. Please stop talking. If I see Captain Xing, I will kneel down to him.
"Okay, let's not talk about your Captain Xing." Jian Yu failed to understand Bai Yue's deeper fear. Instead, he frowned and looked at the cold wind outside the house: "There is no charcoal fire here. It's cold at night. Don't stay with me here. Go back to sleep."
Bar."
"How can that be done?" Bai Yue was very loyal: "I said I would accompany you, and I must keep my word."
Bai Yue stood up, closed the door tightly, and covered half with a blanket and half with a blanket: "This way it won't be cold."
Jian Yu couldn't resist her and said with a smile: "Okay, I don't want you to kneel for me, just sit here and let's talk."
"Tell me about your past." Bai Yue was actually very interested: "You can become the Minister of Dali Temple at such a young age. You must have some extraordinary experiences."
During the long night, the young men and women gathered beside the flowers and talked to each other under the moonlight. Only Bai Yue, with bright eyes, listened attentively to Jian Yu's stories about the past.
"Speaking of this case, it's not an ordinary weird case... That time, a box of gold was lost in the treasury." Jian Yu lowered his voice, and Bai Yue came over humming, regretting that he didn't have melon seeds and peanut milk tea in his hand.
"Most people don't know the location of the treasury in the palace, and the house is very solidly built. Steel plates are embedded in the walls. Not to mention manual digging, even gunpowder cannot easily penetrate them."
"Although a box of gold is nothing, the theft of the treasury is not a trivial matter. Mi Zihan and I were ordered to investigate the matter... We found that there was no crack in the warehouse and not a single fly. The guards were not suspicious either..."
Bai Yue had seen various cases related to secret rooms, and chatted with Jian Yu with great interest...
As a result, this room is not like a date scene that everyone likes to see, but like the police station's weekly difficult case analysis seminar and exchange meeting. If Mrs. Jian saw this scene outside the door, she would definitely feel very complicated.
In the middle of the night, Bai Yue finally got tired, yawned a few times and squinted his eyes, becoming a little confused.
"You really don't want to go back to sleep?" Jian Yu whispered, "Is it cold?"
"It's not cold if I don't go back." Bai Yue couldn't open his eyes: "I said I would accompany you, so I can't break my promise. Just call me when you are tired."
"Okay, then you can go to sleep." Jian Yu responded: "I'll call you when I'm tired."
"Okay." Bai Yue deserved to feel refreshed and slept happily.
Thanks to Liang Meng for bringing a large enough blanket to Jian Yu, which he used half as a blanket and half as a quilt. In fact, he wrapped him up like a caterpillar and used Xing Dui as a pillow. Although it was not that comfortable, he could still sleep.
When Jian Yu saw Bai Yue sleeping, he took off his robe and covered Bai Yue, then went back and knelt down.
In fact, it didn't seem that cold that night. Jian Yu knelt very peacefully and Bai Yue slept peacefully, without any dreams.
Although he knelt in the ancestral hall all night, Jian Yu still did his morning exercises on time.
When Bai Yue woke up, she only heard sounds outside. She turned over, touched the furry Captain Xing, and slowly got up.
Jian Yu was no longer in the ancestral hall, but she was covered with Jian Yu's clothes. When she walked out of the ancestral hall, she saw Jian Yu practicing martial arts. Judging from the change of clothes, she had gone back to wash up.
Seeing Bai Yue coming out, Jian Yu stopped and walked over.
"woke up?"
Bai Yue just woke up and was a little confused, holding Jian Yu's clothes blankly: "Why didn't you call me?"
"How dare I?" Jian Yu said, "I have sworn a poisonous oath."
If it is not necessary, never disturb Bai Yue while he sleeps. Otherwise, he will eat vegetables and tofu without oil and salt for the rest of his life.
"Oh, yes." Bai Yue finally remembered. She was very satisfied. The oath was indeed useful to the ancients.
"Master Jian is indeed a man of his word." Bai Yue praised Jian Yu a few words, but did not think of returning Jian Yu's clothes and blanket to him, so he carried him back to the room.
Bai Yue fell asleep again, and it was an hour later that he finally woke up.
Jian Yu said: "I plan to go to Peach Blossom Mountain."
"Are you going now?" Bai Yue couldn't escape for a while: "I know you are going to Peach Blossom Mountain, but can you walk away now?"
The matter of Xie Jiang and the disappearance of the Komodo dragon are matters at the moment. Shouldn’t we wait until they are dealt with before leaving? The marriage line in Peach Blossom Mountain, it’s okay to just let them float for a few more days.”
"I'm not going today. I'll leave in about two or three days." Jian Yu said, "Let me tell you in advance because I can't take you with me on this trip."
"You can't take me with you?" Bai Yue suddenly felt something was wrong: "What are you going to do? Aren't you going to tear off the marriage thread of Xiao Ling Ding?"
"Well, it's just that by the way, there are other things. To be precise, it's in Peach Blossom Mountain."
Bai Yue asked with concern: "Isn't it quite dangerous?"
Otherwise, why don't you bring yourself?
"Don't worry, there's no danger. I'm not going by myself, I'm going with Mi Zihan." Jian Yu reassured, "It won't take long. I'll be back in four or five days. Xie Jiang talked to me and said
Yes, we need to find an opportunity to make preparations. I gave him ten days to deal with it when he comes back."
Jian Yu said this. Bai Yue was worried and couldn't say anything. Naturally, his position was somewhat dangerous. Just like in the past, Captain Xing and the others were handling cases outside. In peaceful and prosperous times, it was generally safe, but it was also somewhat dangerous.
Even she was sacrificed accidentally.
"Okay, then you should be careful." Bai Yue said, "You are going on a business trip, so I'd better move back. There's nothing going on in Dali Temple, so it's not that convenient to live there."
Although the Jian Mansion is not as heavily guarded as the Dali Temple, it does have guards. Now that the Qin family's brothers and sisters are here, as well as Bai Chuan, it is considered the safest place in the world.
"It's really strange. Why did Juxing want to kill me?" Speaking of which, Bai Yue became curious again: "Could it be that I unknowingly mastered some secret that even I don't know about?"
There was no way to know this question, so Jian Yu could only remind him again and again: "In short, don't go out alone. If you want to go out, just call your uncle, or call the Qin family. By the way, isn't this their first time in the capital? You
As a landlord, I invited them to eat, drink, and listen to operas and music."
Bai Yue's eyes lit up: "Is it public expense? Will it be reimbursed?"
"Report, report, report..."
"Hug, who wants to hug me?" Liang Meng poked his head out of the door with a curious look on his face: "Master, I have something to report, is it the right time?"
