"Okay, please give me some money."
Li Fan subconsciously stepped aside and saw a young beggar dressed in rags holding a broken bowl and shaking it towards him.
"I haven't eaten in three days. Please give me some money."
Seeing him keep approaching him, Li Fan quickly pressed his hands against him and shouted: "Stop, stop, stop, stay there for now, but don't come over!"
As he spoke, he groped around for a while, took out a broken piece of silver and put it in his bowl.
"Thank you, donor, thank you, donor!"
On the other side of General Xi's mansion, Zhuo Yu, who was about to enter the mansion, heard the sound and walked over. Looking at Li Fan's back, he couldn't help but be startled: "Isn't that Zhuo Bai? What is he talking about with a beggar?"
Li Fan looked the beggar up and down, and saw that he was about to leave, and continued to shout: "You are still so young, you should find something to do. Being a beggar is not a long-term solution!"
The beggar completely ignored his words and walked away quickly. Li Fan waved his hand disdainfully. Unexpectedly, he turned around and saw Zhuo Yu standing behind him, almost scaring him so much that he fell into the bushes nearby.
"Who are you!"
Naturally, Li Fan knew him. He had stopped him from assassinating him that day. He hadn't even taken the initiative to avenge him, but he didn't expect him to come to his door.
But now was the wrong time. If he hadn't been at the gate of General Xi's Mansion, he would have put the sword blade on his neck.
"Hey, isn't it Zhuo Bai?"
Zhuo Yu murmured to himself, then raised his eyes to look at Li Fan: "I'm sorry, I admitted the wrong person, but."
He took a look at Li Fan. There was a sword hanging on his waist, and he looked like he was a martial artist. However, he didn't seem to have seen this person in Xicheng before. People with unknown origins should be more vigilant.
"The spiritual master said that anyone whose whereabouts are secretive must be carefully investigated to prevent him from being a spy sent by the enemy. Also, he was hiding behind a tree next to General Xi's Mansion in broad daylight. Could he have some ulterior motives? secret."
Li Fan saw that his pupils were dark and he looked thoughtful, and he had an inexplicable bad feeling.
So, he planned to leave quietly while he was in trance, but he was grabbed after taking just one step.
"Don't leave yet. I see you sneaking around here. Come back to General Xi's Mansion with me first!"
Li Fan shook off his hand and couldn't help shouting loudly: "Why should I follow you? You are just arresting people!"
"Come on, come on, everyone, come and judge, this person dares to arrest people by the way with the name of Xijiang Mansion!"
Seeing the people around him coming around, Zhuo Yu suddenly frowned: "It's obviously you who is sneaking around here, how can you say that I'm arresting people randomly."
Li Fan pondered for a moment, then pretended to be victimized and said: "I'm just enjoying the cool air here, why are you so sneaky? If you dare to talk nonsense again, be careful I tell General Xi!"
Naturally, Zhuo Yu was not to be outdone. The more he explained, the more suspicious he became. He put his hands on his waist and snorted: "Okay, since you said you don't have it, why don't you just go to the Xijiang Mansion with me? "
"If there is really no ghost, our Xijiang Mansion will naturally not wrongly accuse a good person. If you dare not go with me, it means that what I said is right, you have a ghost in your heart!"
Zhuo Yu approached him step by step, and saw that his eyes were evasive, and he was clearly lying. However, seeing more and more people around him, something would happen if he continued.
In order to prevent him from running away, I don't want to expose him for the time being. I have to find a way to lure him to the bait.
"Fifth Senior Brother!"
"Third senior brother got into an argument with someone at the door!"
When Zhuo Bai heard his junior brother's words, he couldn't help but look startled: "What's going on? Take me to see it first!"
"Yes, senior brother!"
Li Fan kept backing up, surrounded by people. If he ran away like this, it would prove that he had different intentions, and then he would not be able to come and go openly in this West City.
"I think you must have misunderstood something. Why don't you go to General Xi's Mansion? Okay, I'll go with you."
Seeing Zhuo Yu's playful expression, Li Fan could only force out a smile to face him.
"Haha, I took the bait!"
Zhuo Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, took his hand, and said immediately: "Everyone, please leave now. This is my routine. If any of you behaves sneakily, you will be taken to the Xijiang Mansion for interrogation."
Hearing this, the people immediately dispersed. Zhuo Yu turned his attention to Li Fan and said with a malicious smile: "Please come with me?"
Li Fan looked away with disdain, saw his hand being pulled by him, and then said with a look of disgust: "Please let go of my hand, I will leave on my own!"
"I'm afraid you'll run away as soon as I let go. I take business seriously, and I can't take my decision lightly." Zhuo Yu said righteously, his eyes shining when he said this.
The two of them dragged each other to the house. Seeing Zhuo Bai walking towards him, Li Fan felt an inexplicable emotion in his chest, as if it was about to burst out. It was the same strange feeling as when he saw him last time.
He couldn't help but feel lucky that he had brought a mask last time, otherwise he would have bumped into each other and would have been recognized.
"I heard that you had another quarrel with someone outside?" Zhuo Bai looked calm, but there was a hint of coldness in his eyes.
"What are you talking about? I'm not that kind of person. It's just routine!"
As he said that, he turned to look at Li Fan: "Nuo, it's this little brat who is sneaking around outside our General Xi's mansion. He seems to have bad intentions at first glance."
Zhuo Yu glanced at Li Fan and saw that he was carrying his back and kept walking towards the outside of the house. If he hadn't been dragging him, he would have run away.
"Turn around and see what's going on outside. I'll tell you to turn around."
Li Fan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and turned around to face the two of them with a smile on his face.
At first glance, Zhuo Bai couldn't help but be startled when he saw his smile. Thousands of thoughts in his heart suddenly surged into his heart at this moment.
"It feels so familiar."
Li Fan glanced at Zhuo Bai and saw that he was looking at him with bright eyes, and his heart trembled inexplicably: "Don't you recognize me?"
He subconsciously avoided looking at him, not daring to look at him again. If his identity was exposed at this time, wouldn't it be like falling into a trap and failing in his efforts?
"No, he will never see it!"
Li Fan hurriedly covered his face with his hands. After wearing a mask for a long time, he was really not used to showing his face to others. If he wasn't afraid of attracting attention, he took off the mask to act. He didn't expect that he could be caught without a mask. I'm convinced.
Seeing Zhuo Bai stunned, Zhuo Yu quickly waved his hand in front of his eyes: "A Bai? A Bai!"
He calmed down and looked at Zhuo: "What's wrong?"
"I asked you, what were you thinking just now? You were so absorbed in it!"
Seeing Zhuo Bai's eyes falling on Li Fan, he suddenly realized: "You must also feel that something is wrong with him, right? Let me just say, I have always had a good eye for people, so this time I fell into my hands, hahaha."
Li Fan put down his hand, looked at Zhuo Yu angrily and gritted his teeth: "What, stop slandering people!"
Seeing his angry look, Zhuo Bai recalled the time when he and his brother met the bandits. When he saw himself being beaten violently, his face was filled with anger.
