Yan Yi was stunned, and his originally playful expression became serious.
"Yuzhi, I remember you, but you forgot me."
Yu Zhi blinked, as if trying hard to recall everything in the past. He had been to Beiliang Mansion before, but there was no memory of Yan Yi in his mind.
Yan Yi sighed and said: "About seven years ago, I went to Dachu Kyoto to study, and you and I met once in Kyoto. You gave me a bun... a red bean paste bun!"
Yu Zhi scratched his head, looking confused. He really had no impression.
"Sorry, I've done a lot of good things, so..." Yu Zhi said sheepishly.
Seven years ago, when he was twelve years old, most of Yu Zhi's memories of that year were about skipping school with Qiu Ruoruo and then being caught by Li Qingru and giving him a lesson.
Suddenly, Yan Yi became angry and continued: "At that time, there was a little girl wearing yellow clothes beside you."
"Ruoruo?" Yu Zhi said. When he was twelve years old, Qiu Ruoruo was the only one who followed him.
To be precise, it was Yu Zhi who led Qiu Ruoruo around to cause trouble.
Yan Yi shrugged and said nonchalantly: "Maybe. At that time, you were still wearing very thin clothes. Maybe you will have some impression of my other name."
Facing Yu Zhi's curious eyes, Yan Yi stood on tiptoes and whispered in Yu Zhi's ear.
Yu Zhi's eyes widened, his eyebrows raised, and he showed an incredible expression. After looking at Yan Yi for a few times, he smiled dumbly.
"Oh it's you!"
Yu Zhi walked down the mountain with a smile. He would never have thought that Yan Yi in front of him was his old friend.
"Have you changed your gender?" Yu Zhi asked doubtfully.
Yan Yi raised his hand and was about to hit Yu Zhi, "Begging for a beating. Back then, I was just a woman disguised as a man, under the pseudonym Yan Qingyi. Everything was for the convenience of practice."
Yan Yi is Yan Qingyi. The third person who entered the Qingyun Examination List together with Ye Qinghuan was Yan Qingyi.
"Yan Yi, Yan Qingyi, Yan Qingyi, Yan Yi." Yu Zhi chuckled, "No wonder Yan Qingyi disappeared after the Qingyun Examination. It turned out that she returned to Beiliang Mansion and transformed into a girl again."
Yan Yi was quite proud and said: "I didn't expect it. But thanks to the red bean paste buns you gave me. They are the most delicious buns I have ever eaten."
Yu Zhi just smiled, a red bean paste bun, and a penny. He had long since forgotten. But for Yan Yi, that bun is the most unforgettable memory.
Things in the world are often like this. Perhaps to you, it is not worth mentioning, but to others, it is more important than Mount Tai.
"That day was my first day in Kyoto. I had spent all my money and was hungry for several days." Yan Yi said.
Yu Zhi pointed to himself and said, "Then am I your savior?"
Yan Yi nodded and thought for a while. "Forget it. But I have saved you many times."
Yu Zhi was dumbfounded. It was not unreasonable to say this.
"Now, do you still doubt me?" Yan Yi asked.
But Yu Zhi said: "Who said I doubted you? How could I doubt you? It must be your illusion!"
Yan Yi sneered and ignored the shameless Yu Zhi.
The first day of the sect competition ended quickly. For everyone, today was just an appetizer.
Yu Zhi was lying on the bed, thinking about everything that happened today. Yan Yi turned out to be the former Yan Qingyi, and she was also a disciple of Shenyin Pavilion. As for her status. Yu Zhi didn't ask. With Yan Yi's cultivation level and being able to know the news about Yu Zhi all the time, his status was obviously not low.
Since Yan Yi is willing to help him, Yu Zhi will naturally not refuse.
Thanks to myself for being so charitable back then, and thanks to my small belly at that time, which made me unable to eat the extra red bean paste bun!
With the information provided by Yan Yi, Yu Zhi became more confident in capturing Biluo Qingyan.
If you are really unprepared to face Biluo Qingyan, then you will only fail.
"I wonder how Tong'er is doing?" Yu Zhi said to himself.
What Yu Zhi is worried about is that more killers will appear one after another after those killers in black. The Chancellor's Mansion in Kyoto will not know the news about Beiliang City, and the subsequent assassination is also unpredictable.
When it comes to protecting Li Wantong, no amount of precautions is too much.
Yu Zhi didn't know that Li Haomiao had arrived in Beiliang City. He hid his whereabouts. Mr. San's group of killers lost their targets, and he was safer.
Now obtaining Biluo Qingyan and rescuing Li Wantong is a major matter in Yu Zhi's heart.
Just as Yu Zhuyue expected, Yu Zhi fell in love with Li Wantong so much that he was willing to go through all kinds of dangers.
...
In the Meiyuan of Beiliang City, after that night's attack, Wan'er fell into coma, and Xiao Jingyao stayed by Wan'er's bed, attracting the envy of many maids.
That night, if Wan'er hadn't pushed Xiao Jingyao away in time, Xiao Jingyao would have died in the hands of that stuttering night ghost.
It is worthwhile to exchange the life of a maid for the life of the prince no matter what.
But Jamel Xiao doesn’t think so.
"Your Highness, the Ten Thousand Tiger Army has set off from Nanzhou Mansion. Kyoto also asked Dongfang Shi to come to Beiliang Mansion to protect His Highness." Yan Zimu reported. That night, he was also seriously injured, and he completely lost his fighting ability with just one move.
Fortunately, Xiao Jingyao was fine, otherwise, Yan Zimu would be blamed for his death.
Xiao Jingyao put down the medicine bowl, then picked up the warm towel and placed it on Wan'er's forehead.
In the past few days, Wan'er didn't wake up, she just frowned and remained unconscious.
Xiao Jingyao took care of Wan'er day and night, which was unimaginable to outsiders, and there were occasional rumors. But Xiao Jingyao didn't care at all. He didn't care about this at all, as long as Wan'er could wake up.
After doing all this, Xiao Jingyao said: "Who instigated it?"
Yan Zimu shook his head and was about to answer when he heard Xiao Jingyao continue: "That's all. If you can collude with Night Ghost, you are destined to not be able to find out the person behind the scenes."
Xiao Jingyao was open-minded, and he already had a guess in his mind. The person who wanted to kill him the most was probably his third brother Xiao Jingyu. But the killer was Ye Gui, which minimized Xiao Jingyu's suspicion.
Is this really the case?
Xiao Jingyao said calmly: "What is Jing Yu doing recently?"
Yan Zimu was startled, as if he did not expect that Xiao Jingyao would ask about Xiao Jingyu's movements. He thought for a while and said: "The third prince has been in Kyoto all the time, and has been running to Qiu Mansion frequently recently. There are rumors that the third prince is in love with Qiu Ruoruo of the Qiu family. , I want to marry into the Qiu family."
"Other than that, there is nothing unusual about the Third Prince."
Xiao Jingyao laughed and said, "He has become much quieter, and it doesn't seem like his temper anymore."
When Yan Zimu heard this, he also said: "That's true. The third prince has always been flamboyant, outgoing and active, but in the past few days, I heard rumors in Kyoto that the third prince was dancing and writing in the mansion, or going to Baiweiju to drink tea. With The martial arts look is completely different in the past.”
Xiao Jingyao walked out of the room, and Yan Zimu followed. The two walked and talked.
"Zimu, who do you think sent Night Ghost?"
Yan Zimu did not dare to think too much and immediately said: "If he colludes with Ye Gui, no matter who he is, the whole of Chu will not be able to tolerate this person."
Xiao Jingyao heard the panic in Yan Zimu's voice and smiled: "It's just chatting, don't take it seriously. Zi Mu, the Great Chu Court knows that Jing Yu wants to kill me most. Do you think it's possible that Night Ghost was sent by him?" "
Yan Zimu's steps stagnated, and layers of cold sweat broke out on his back. These were not things he dared to comment on.
"Your Highness!"
Xiao Jingyao still looked calm, patted Yan Zimu's stiff shoulder, and said, "It's just a joke. How could a child of the royal family collude with Ye Gui?"
Xiao Jingyao continued to walk forward, with many thoughts in his mind. He thinks much more than Yan Zimu.
Night ghost, hum, I really didn’t expect it!
While Xiao Jingyao was strolling in the plum garden, a maid walked into Wan'er's room carrying a bowl of medicinal soup.
But Xiao Jingyao had just finished feeding Wan'er today's medicinal soup.
...
In Yu Zhuyue's small courtyard, Ning Huan kept looking towards the door.
It was already night, and Yu Lan had not returned from delivering the medicine. In the past, Yu Lan would have returned before sunset. But an hour passed after sunset today, and Yu Lan was still nowhere to be seen.
Lao Huang sat on the steps, looked at Ning Huan who kept pacing, and said impatiently: "Boy Ning, if you are in a hurry, go out and look for it. Don't wander around."
When Ning Huan thought about it, she hurriedly walked out of the small courtyard.
When Lao Huang saw this, he smiled, showing his yellowed teeth, which looked a little vulgar.
It's no secret that Ning Huan likes Yu Lan. Otherwise, why would Ning Huan be following Yu Lan like a candy bar all day long.
"Spring is here." Old Huang sighed slightly, and what came to his mind was the way the girl joked with him in the past. It's a pity that the girl will never see spring again.
Yu Zhuyue in the room looked at Ning Huan's retreating figure with some indescribable feelings in her heart.
Although Yu Lan is naughty, he is extremely punctual and always returns to the courtyard to cook before sunset. Nothing goes wrong every day.
Because Yu Lan will not starve Yu Zhuyue, just as Yu Zhuyue loves her and will not let her be wronged.
After Ning Huan left the small courtyard, she walked past several houses where Yu Lan delivered medicine. After a stick of incense, I still found Yu Lan. As a killer, Ning Huan was keenly aware that something must have happened to Yu Lan.
Following Yu Lan's usual return route, Ning Huan flew all the way, his sharp eyes scanning the streets and alleys. Suddenly, Ning Huan stopped, looked at the traces of fighting on the wall, and frowned.
Soon, Ning Huan found some blood stains in the corner. Obviously, there was a battle here, and Yu Lan probably encountered something unexpected.
As a killer, Ning Huan has a particularly keen sense of battle. From the traces of fighting nearby, it can be seen that someone has kidnapped Yu Lan.
Ning Huan wanted to follow the traces and found a blue gauze scarf on the road, which was a corner of Yu Lan's dress.
"Damn it!" Ning Huan cursed. He knew Yu Lan's strength. Ordinary practitioners were no match for Yu Lan. They might be able to kidnap Yu Lan. It was obvious that the other party had made sufficient preparations in advance.
At this time, Yu Lan woke up from coma, opened his eyes, and saw darkness in front of him. She had a piece of linen stuffed in her mouth. She wanted to circulate her true energy, but found that the meridians in her body were all blocked and she couldn't exert any strength.
