The chess pieces in Yan's hands fell to the chess table with a "dong" sound.
Wei Jun jumped up, put his hand on the scabbard of his sword, and blurted out: "Are you the second son of Duke Zhao?"
Before Yan Er could reply, Yan Ji had already rushed forward, blocking him and asking, "What do you want to do to our young master?"
Wei Jun was angry: "It's us who should ask! What's your intention of concealing your identity and sneaking into Nanyuan? You also sneaked into the backyard to spy on the third lady. Are you harboring evil intentions?"
Yan Ji was unconvinced: "What are you talking about? It's obviously you who invited our young master here!"
Wei Jun said: "You didn't reveal your intention and wanted us to invite you!"
"Nonsense..."
The two people quarreled.
After the initial shock, Yan Er rubbed his face and called the boy: "Yan Ji! Don't be rude."
Yan Ji was quite unconvinced, but since his master said so, he could only reluctantly snort and say, "I'm too lazy to argue with you!"
Wei Jun was so angry that Xu Huan glanced at him and could only hold it back.
Humph! Wait, they are still in Nanyuan, and sooner or later there will be a time to settle accounts!
Yan Er glanced at the opposite side sheepishly and asked in a low voice: "How... did you know?"
Xu Huan still looked so gentle and smiling. If he had another feather fan in his hand at this time, he would look like Zhuge Wuhou who had everything in mind, which made Yan Er feel guilty.
"Actually, I don't know," Xu Huan said with a smile, "It's just that the gentleman's demeanor is really not like ordinary people, so I just made a casual guess."
Yan Er was stunned.
So, he was deceived?
Probably because his silly look was so funny, Xu Huan laughed and pointed at the chessboard: "You lost."
Yan Er was dejected and raised his hands: "Master Xu is so smart, I'm willing to admit defeat."
Think about it, Nanyuan is caught between several major forces and can still manage peace and prosperity. How can this Governor Xu be an ordinary person?
Well, it must be unusual to be able to teach a daughter like Miss Xu San.
"Next game?" Xu Huan asked with a smile.
Yan Er cheered up: "Master Xu has your destiny, how dare you disobey it?"
Although his identity was recognized, he also hooked up with Xu Huan! So his snooping plan can still go ahead. Yan Er thought in amusement.
After rearranging the chess pieces, Wei Jun drove away the onlookers, leaving only the two playing chess under the tree, as well as the attendants Yan Ji and Wei Jun.
At the beginning this time, Xu Huan was very calm and asked as he was talking: "Young master just said that he wanted to join the army but was rejected by Duke Zhao, so he ran away from home this time?"
Yan Er smiled guiltily and begged: "Master Xu, can you pretend that you don't know? Otherwise, my father will probably send someone to arrest me..."
Xu Huan hesitated and said, "This is not a good idea. What if something happens to Mr. Yan in Nanyuan and Duke Zhao is blamed?"
"No!" Yan Er hurriedly assured him, "My father knows my virtues, and he will definitely not anger others if something goes wrong."
Yan Ji couldn't bear to look at his stupid look. Even if he wanted to please his future father-in-law, he was too impatient, right?
Xu Huan didn't seem to care and continued to ask: "I heard from my daughter that the Second Master Yan originally planned to go to Yongcheng?"
Yan Er replied honestly: "Yes. My father was very worried when he heard that Wu Zijing had seized the throne of Daliang, so he sent someone to find out the news. He kicked me out of the military camp. I refused to accept it, so I wanted to get the matter done first.
…”
Xu Huan frowned and said, "Young Master, it is inappropriate to do this. Wu Zijing is at the height of his power, and all the surrounding states are avoiding his influence. If you go there rashly, what if something goes wrong?"
Yan Er was unhappy: "I can do things that the spies can do, and I can do things that they can't do. Does Mr. Xu look down on me like my father?"
The young man really had a stubborn temper and refused to admit defeat. Xu Huan couldn't help but smile and said: "It's not that I look down on you, but that I value you and worry about what might happen to you."
At this point, he sighed: "In this case, I have to keep the young master here. Otherwise, if the young master goes to Yongcheng, if something happens, not to mention your family's heartache, I will also feel reluctant to leave him!"
"Ah!" Yan Er looked happy, and then looked at him expectantly, "But I haven't heard any news about Yongcheng yet!"
Xu Huan couldn't help laughing at the way he was making small plans: "Don't worry, Mr. Yan. Yongcheng keeps us close. I also have some eyes and ears there. I'll let you know when the time comes!"
Yan Er's wish came true and he thanked him repeatedly.
Xu Huan nodded and said, "I haven't recovered yet. After playing two games of chess, I'm really tired, so I'm going back first."
Yan Er stood up to see them off, and then asked eagerly: "Can I still play chess with adults? They are not very good at it..."
Xu Huan smiled: "I am recuperating from illness now, and I am very bored on weekdays. I would like your son to come and accompany me, which is a blessing."
Yan Er said happily: "Then I will definitely go more often!"
Xu Huan waved his hand, and Wei Jun stepped forward and pushed him away.
The figure of the second master and servant of Yan was no longer visible. Wei Jun couldn't help but ask: "Sir, do you really want to keep this second master of Yan? I heard that Duke Zhao loves his second son very much. What if something happens to him?"
This second young master Yan seemed to be someone who would cause trouble. As soon as he came in, he ran to the inner courtyard to take a peek. If the third lady hadn't been generous, he would have been locked up by now.
Xu Huan smiled lightly and said: "If you don't stay, what else can we do? He originally wanted to go to Yongcheng, but then came to Nanyuan. He clearly wanted to use us to get information. If we drive him away now, wouldn't he offend Duke Zhao?
?”
Not to mention it was okay, but Wei Jun became even more vigilant when he mentioned it: "He won't want to find out about our Nanyuan, right? You have to watch out!"
Xu Huan didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter. Later, you can ask Lao Ji to quietly pass on the news about him in Nanyuan. Then the secret agents from the Duke of Zhao will definitely come to the door. He wants to use us, so let's use him too.
.”
Wei Jun suddenly realized. In this case, they would be able to use the Second Young Master Yan to learn the news that the Duke of Zhao had heard.
The adults are indeed adults, how wonderful!
But there was something else he hadn't figured out.
"Sir, you suddenly said something about marriage just now. Are you kidding?"
Xu Huan smiled and said: "No! The second son of Duke Zhao has the whole Guanzhong behind him! If he is willing to become his wife, he would be a good candidate."
Wei Jun was shocked: "Sir, you must not do this! This Young Master Yan does not tell the truth and is unreliable in his work. He is definitely not a good candidate!"
Xu Huan laughed loudly and said, "Don't worry, that's what I said. Look at him, he seems to have no idea about Ah Si, even if he mentions it, he won't be able to do it."
Wei Junxin said that he had no thoughts about the eldest lady, but he had thoughts about the third lady!
