Lao Huang did not say that only Li Xiuyuan in Kyoto knew that they were going north, and only Li Xiuyuan knew Li Wantong's identity.
But Yu Zhi immediately grasped the key point.
For thirteen years outside Kyoto, Li Wantong was safe and sound, but his journey north was full of crises and the killer was coveting him.
Lao Huang still had a trace of luck in his heart and said: "Perhaps it is the Prime Minister's enemies. They found out the lady's identity, so they sent a killer to kill the lady."
Yu Zhi was noncommittal. If he had never been to the Prime Minister's Mansion, if he had never met Li Xiuyuan, he would think so.
Tiger poison does not eat its seeds, Li Wantong is Li Xiuyuan's granddaughter after all.
However, Yu Zhi had met Li Xiuyuan and knew what he was like. Despicable was a better way to describe Li Xiuyuan. At first, just for a marriage, he snatched away Yu Zhi's white jade and beat Yu Zhi.
This incident of crowing of cocks and dog robberies was actually the work of the powerful Prime Minister of Da Chu.
Yu Zhiyouyou said: "Old Huang, I don't care who is behind this killer. If you dare to hurt Wan Tong, even if he is the prime minister of the Chu Dynasty, you must avenge him."
Lao Huang choked up, knowing in his heart that these black-clad killers were really sent by Li Xiuyuan.
But where does this young man get his confidence? Is it just relying on Li Haomiao, a tenth-grade grandmaster? Li Xiuyuan represents the Great Chu Dynasty, but the Great Chu Dynasty is not something that a tenth-grade grandmaster can contend with.
Yu Zhi stood up, turned around and walked towards the house. "Don't worry, I won't tell Wan Tong about this."
...
"Isn't it a very ordinary story?" Yu Zhuyue said.
Yu Lan nodded, then immediately shook his head, not knowing how to answer. The mother-in-law's love story is much worse than the one in the troupe.
A smile appeared on Yu Zhuyue's wrinkled face.
In these decades, it was the first time that Yu Lan saw Yu Zhuyue smile.
Yu Lan thought for a while and asked with some confusion: "Mother-in-law, why didn't you kill the woman who took your husband-in-law away?"
Yu Zhuyue said: "Of course I will kill her."
"Great." Yu Lan was inexplicably excited. Isn't this the same as what he is doing now?
Yu Zhuyue touched Yu Lan's head and said, "At the beginning, my mother-in-law thought that as long as that woman died, he would come back to me. But that was not the case."
"When the woman died, he died too."
Yu Lan was stunned and her heart tightened. Her mother-in-law was so cruel. She even killed her husband.
Yu Zhuyue continued: "I didn't expect that he would be so cruel. He would rather die for that woman than renew his relationship with me."
"Suicide for love? Mother-in-law, didn't you kill your husband?"
"Why should I kill him?"
"Well, I thought my mother-in-law killed that heartless man with her own hands. However, this heartless man was so infatuated that he was willing to die with that woman."
"He committed suicide in front of that woman's grave." After Yu Zhuyue finished speaking, he asked again, "Lanlan, do you think your brother Xiaoyu will die in love if the girl named Li dies?"
Yu Lan lowered his head and wrapped his fingers around the corner of his clothes, twisting them into a hemp rope. She is not stupid, she has seen Yu Zhi waiting beside Li Wantong in the past few days.
can you? He should be able to.
"I won't allow him to die for love. Especially for that woman." Yu Lan shouted with both tears and anger.
"But if Xiao Yu'er really dies, will you regret it?" Yu Zhuyue asked.
Yu Lan was silent and looked at the door of the yard, where Yu Zhi was sitting.
After a long, long time, Yu Zhuyue said: "Lanlan, my mother-in-law thought that as long as you are happy, it will be fine to let Xiao Yu'er stay by your side. But this time, looking at Xiao Yu'er's appearance, if something happened to that girl Li , I’m afraid Xiao Yu’er really won’t be able to survive.”
"My mother-in-law said so much. She just wants to let you know her feelings, but she can't do it reluctantly."
After that, Yu Zhuyue walked away.
Yu Lan suddenly said: "Mother-in-law, do you hate that heartless man of yours?"
Yu Zhuyue stopped, lowered his head and sighed, and said quietly: "After so many years, I have long since lost that hatred. Now, when I see Xiao Yu'er and Li Yatou, I think if I had looked away, wouldn't it have been better? I’m not alone now.”
Yu Lan stood there, not knowing what to think about.
Suddenly, a scholar appeared in front of Yu Lan. "Miss Yu Lan, are you interested in going to the theater?"
Yu Lan's meditation was interrupted, and she was extremely unhappy when she saw Ning Huan appearing.
"No, get out!"
...
In a government office in Beiliang City, Xiao Jingyao was writing and reviewing. Building a new racecourse requires a lot of preparation work, and there are also many reports that need to be reviewed.
Xiao Jingyao did not rely on others, no matter how small or small, all matters passed through his hands and eyes one by one.
After reading the last report, Xiao Jingyao put down his pen, closed his eyes, and breathed out a sigh of relief. The fatigue between his brows and eyes was slightly relieved.
A pair of warm and soft hands gently placed on Jamel Xiao's temples, rubbing them slowly.
With the familiar smell and familiar techniques, Xiao Jingyao already knew who was behind him.
"Your Highness has been too tired recently and needs to take a proper rest." Wan'er's voice was soft, and her fingertips moved even more gently.
Xiao Jingyao enjoyed it comfortably and said: "The racecourse has just been built. This is a major event and I must personally check it. If something goes wrong at this time, it will affect future affairs."
"Wan'er understands. Wan'er just watched His Highness work day and night for five days. His Highness stayed up all night and never stepped out of the house. His Highness is very haggard, and Wan'er feels distressed when he sees it." Wan'er said.
Xiao Jingyao curled up the corners of his mouth and said, "I have neglected you these past few days. I will take a good rest tonight."
How could Wan'er not understand Xiao Jingyao's meaning? She said shyly: "Wan'er, it all depends on His Highness's orders."
Wan'er continued: "Your Highness has not left the government office for a few days, and something has happened in Beiliang City in recent days. Your Highness may be interested, it is about Mr. Yu."
"Oh?" Xiao Jamyao raised his eyebrows and became interested.
That night, many people saw the killer in black chasing him, as well as the terrifying sword energy. On the second day, this matter had spread throughout Beiliang City.
Wan'er told Xiao Jingyao what she heard.
"Where is Yu Zhi? Is he okay?" Xiao Jingyao asked.
Wan'er replied: "Wan'er sent someone to inquire about Mr. Yu. Mr. Yu is fine, but the girl is dead, and Sister Li is also poisoned and comatose."
At this time, Xiao Jingyao opened his eyes, held Wan'er's hand, and asked, "Have you found out the identities of those killers?"
Wan'er shook her head and sat next to Xiao Jamyao.
Xiao Jingyao thought for a while and then said: "Wan'er, prepare the car. Let's go visit Yu Zhi."
In about one stick of incense time, Xiao Jingyao and Wan'er had already arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
Boom, boom, boom.
Wan'er stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon a little girl in blue opened the door.
"Who are you looking for?" Yu Lan asked.
Wan'er replied: "We are friends of Yu Zhi, and we are here to find Yu Zhi."
As soon as Yu Lan walked out of the door, he met Xiao Jingyao and the two of them, "Why are you looking for him?"
Wan'er said: "I heard that Yu Zhi and Sister Li were assassinated. Let's come over and visit."
Yu Lan looked at the two of them again and said, "You guys go in. Brother Xiaoyu is in the room." After saying that, Yu Lan ran out on her own, with a scholar in gray following behind her.
Yu Zhi heard the noise outside, walked out of the house again, and was slightly surprised when he saw Xiao Jingyao.
"Why are you here?" Yu Zhi asked with a frown.
When Wan'er heard Yu Zhi's tone, she became displeased and said, "My master... is here to visit you. Is it possible that I have wronged you?"
Your Highness, the Crown Prince, is here. This is an honor for anyone, and it is something that everyone can only dream of. Who among those families in Kyoto would not want to invite His Highness the Crown Prince to visit him.
But when he arrived at Yu Zhi's place, His Majesty the Crown Prince was actually disliked.
Yu Zhi said: "This small courtyard cannot accommodate the Buddha, your young master." Yu Zhi did not hate Xiao Jingyao, and even thought it would be good to be friends. But he didn't want to get involved in the dispute between the crown prince and the third prince, so he would rather stay away.
Xiao Jingyao said nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter. Wan'er and I are here to visit Miss Li."
Hearing this, Yu Zhi couldn't refuse Xiao Jingyao's kindness like this, and said, "Come in with me. Wan Tong is in a coma due to poisoning. I don't know when he will wake up."
The three of them walked into the house. Xiao Jingyao and Wan'er looked at Li Wantong with sighs in their hearts.
However, a few days later, when we met again, the girl was dead and Li Wantong was also in a coma.
"Brother Yu, if there is anything I can do to help, just tell me. You're welcome." Xiao Jingyao said.
Yu Zhi also responded: "Thank you. But you know that good intentions may not always be reciprocated."
Xiao Jingyao shook his head, still as calm and generous as before, "Brother Yu, if you say this, you are looking down on me too much. Miss Wan Tong is also my friend. Now that my friend is in trouble, I can help, so it is my duty to help."
Xiao Jingyao's meaning is very simple. I am not helping you Yu Zhi, but Li Wantong.
Yu Zhi nodded and smiled kindly. This is not for myself, but for Li Wantong.
"Have you found out the identities of those killers?" Xiao Jingyao asked.
A glint flashed in Yu Zhi's eyes and he said, "I found some. I will avenge Wan Tong and the girl."
Xiao Jingyao was a little surprised and looked at Wan'er. Even Wan'er hadn't found out the killer's identity. How did Yu Zhi know it?
Wan'er was about to speak, but was stopped by Jamel Xiao's eyes.
"I still say the same thing. If you need my help, Brother Yu, don't be polite." Xiao Jingyao said, this is the greatest kindness he has given.
Yu Zhi thought to himself, maybe he really needs the help of the Crown Prince this time. If it was really Li Xiuyuan who did it, I would let him disappear in Da Chu's court.
"Why don't you see Brother Ye?" Xiao Jingyao asked.
Yu Zhihan smiled and said nothing, just looking at Xiao Jingyao. Xiao Jingyao also smiled and stopped asking any more questions.
After staying for a while, Xiao Jingyao and Wan'er left the small courtyard.
"Sir, why didn't you let me continue asking just now?" Wan'er asked, "Even our people didn't find out the identity of the killer in black, but Yu Zhi was able to find out. He must be lying."
Xiao Jingyao smiled and shook his head, "Wan'er, you underestimate Yu Zhi. Yu Zhi has his own reasons for not telling."
Wan'er said unconvinced: "Young Master is too high-minded to Yu Zhi. Besides, as a Young Master, it's too late for others to fawn over you. Yu Zhi saw the Young Master, but he still couldn't avoid him. Huh, how can there be such a person? "
As Xiao Jingyao's maid and his lover, Wan'er naturally hated Yu Zhi's ungrateful appearance.
Xiao Jingyao chuckled and just said: "You, you are too shallow in your judgment of people. I have always said, don't look at people by their appearance. Birds of a feather flock together, and people are divided into groups. I don't need to say more about who Yu Zhi's friends are in Kyoto. All the way north OK, you have seen what Yu Zhizhi did."
"Wan'er is just angry that Yu Zhi has such an attitude towards the young master." Wan'er was still angry.
Xiao Jingyao looked back at the small courtyard, "The more he is like this, the more magnanimous he is. He doesn't want to be favored by me, and he doesn't want to get involved in the struggle between me and Jing Yu, so Yu Zhi will do it again and again. And the three places refused.”
"Yu Zhi, he is such an interesting person."
