Seeing Mengyao approaching, Liu Yijin hurriedly moved a step to the side and pulled the curtain next to him.
Just when he blocked it, Mengyao's figure appeared at the screen. She glanced at Lan Yu'er who was getting dressed: "Sister, what happened to you just now?"
"No, it's nothing." Lan Yu'er hurriedly put on her clothes and pretended to be calm: "You are the same girl. I was still getting dressed, and you barged in. Is there anyone like you? You are just a woman. satyr."
Mengyao smiled and said, "Why are you so shy, sister? Don't say it's you. Even if an adult is taking a bath in my place, I just barged in."
Lan Yuer, who was neatly dressed, turned around and took a look, and saw that her clothes were hanging inside, while Liu Yijin, who was hiding behind the curtain next to him, was staring there with a pair of ruthless eyes.
This made Lan Yuer blush, and she couldn't help but feel angry.
"Sister Yu'er, what's wrong with you?"
Mengyao looked at Lan Yu'er who suddenly stiffened with suspicion, "Are you feeling uncomfortable? Can you take a shower?"
"It's okay, I just suddenly remembered that the medicine I prepared was still missing some Chinese medicine. I, I have to go back as soon as possible."
Mengyao smiled: "I thought it was some big deal. In that case, sister, go ahead and get busy. I just happen to take a shower."
These words frightened Liu Yijin behind the curtain to turn pale. If Mengyao saw him, then his affair with Lan Yu'er would be confirmed.
Although I really want to do this, a gentleman does not take advantage of others' danger.
Besides, in this one-on-one situation, I was really nervous and not ready.
"no!"
Lan Yuer was startled: "You can't take a bath here!"
Mengyao was stunned and blinked: "Sister, this is my room. If I don't take a shower here, can I still go to your place to take a shower?"
Lan Yu'er stopped picking up the clothes she had changed, turned around, took Mengyao's hand and walked out: "The soap locust you use for washing is not as useful as mine. I made it with medicated powder, and it contains With rose pollen added, it’s just right for you to use.”
"Rose pollen?" Mengyao was slightly stunned: "Sister, do you still understand this?"
"Yes, you can help me take a look at the medicine I prepared."
Mengyao wanted to say something else, but Lan Yuer pulled her away.
Listening to the two women talking while walking, Liu Yijin couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat on his face, put the clothes Lan Yu'er had changed on his body, and walked out quietly.
In Lan Yu'er's yard, Mengyao and Lan Yu'er were talking about something when they heard Liu Yijin's voice coming from outside: "Is Miss Lan here?"
Mengyao was stunned for a moment, then turned around and walked out cheerfully, "It's the adults who are back."
Liu Yijin came over with a smile: "What are you doing?"
Mengyao smiled and said: "When did you return home, sir? Why didn't I find you just now?"
"I just went out for a spin."
With that said, Liu Yijin walked to Lan Yuer's side naturally and looked at the bottles and cans on the table: "What kind of medicine are you preparing?"
Lan Yuer's pretty face was slightly red, and her delicate ears and white neck were all painted with a light pink color: "It's not a medicine, I just thought about whether I could improve the Great Return Pill."
"Oh?" Liu Yijin leaned over and looked at Lan Yu'er's plump figure in front of her. He thought of the scene where he was rubbing his hands wantonly just now, and couldn't help but feel his heart tremble.
Mengyao who was behind her looked at the two of them suspiciously. Lan Yuer's behavior today was very abnormal, and something seemed wrong with the adults today.
He has always kept a distance from Sister Yuer, why did he take the initiative today?
"The Great Return Pill is a medicine that has been passed down from Shaolin Temple for a long time. How can this thing be improved?"
"It's just to make the medicine more effective." Lan Yu'er moved to the side without leaving a trace, staggering the distance from Liu Yijin: "Why are you back so early, sir?"
"I told the eldest princess to take three days off to deal with Maitreya Buddhism matters."
"oh."
Mengyao on the side watched the two chatting awkwardly and couldn't help laughing: "What's going on with you two? You look weird."
"Is it weird?"
Liu Yijin laughed: "You are too worried."
Mengyao smiled, turned around and walked towards the back: "Sister Yu'er, I'm going to take a shower first."
"Ah good."
Liu Yijin glanced at Mengyao and saw the latter turning around the screen. He naturally took out the clothes Lan Yu'er had changed and whispered: "Yu'er, I brought your clothes for you."
Lan Yuer's pretty face flushed instantly. She glared at Liu Yijin fiercely, grabbed her underwear, and then raised her left foot and stepped directly on Liu Yijin's instep.
"you!"
Liu Yijin's face turned pale after being stepped on, and he screamed.
Mengyao, who had just taken off her clothes inside, was startled: "Sir, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I, I accidentally touched it."
Lan Yu'er looked at Liu Yijin's pleading expression, and a faint smile flashed across his exquisite face.
"Sir, walk slower or I won't see you off."
Liu Yijin coughed awkwardly: "Study the formula of the black powder. If you can produce it as soon as possible, rush out a batch."
Liu Yijin endured the burning pain on his instep and walked out of the door. He saw Yuan Shuo coming in a hurry with a few people. A trace of excitement appeared on the latter's face: "Sir, we have made a major discovery."
Yuan Shuo whispered a few words into Liu Yijin's ear, and Liu Yijin let out a long breath: "Let's go and take a look together."
In an old house in Qingshui County.
As soon as Liu Yijin walked into the yard, an old man stepped forward in a hurry, followed by two teenagers.
"Little old Song Li has met your Excellency."
Liu Yijin recognized that this old man was someone who liked to visit brothels, and couldn't help but smile: "Has the old man gained something new recently?"
Song Li smiled flatteringly and said: "Last time, under the instructions of the adults, the little old man and his two friends walked around the county every day after returning. I really made a major discovery."
"Say it directly!"
Song Li pointed to the room inside: "There is an old prostitute from a brothel locked up here, but this person has a very good relationship with Miao Ling and has known her before. She said that Miao had told her many things, including about Things about Maitreya Buddhism.”
Liu Yijin took a deep breath: "What did you say?"
"My lord, you'd better go over and ask in person."
Liu Yijin walked into the room and saw a woman who looked to be in her forties sitting inside: "Do you know anyone from Maitreya Buddhism?"
The woman stood up in a hurry: "Sir, I know you, I know you."
Seeing the woman's excitement, Song Li, who was standing behind Liu Yijin, coughed lightly: "Juhua, please pay attention. This is our lord, but the general sent by the emperor. If you know anything, you can If you tell me, I will definitely not treat you badly."
Liu Yijin nodded and smiled: "Yes, as long as what you say is true, I will give you appropriate reward."
The woman hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "You are from the government, so I will naturally believe what you say, but you also know that Qinghe County is such a big place. If the news leaks out, then I won't be able to stay here anymore." .”
"Sir, I'm old now. If this incident has a bad impact on me, I won't be able to stay here any longer."
Liu Yijin chuckled and said: "You can rest assured about this. As long as what you say is true and can help me solve the Maitreya Buddhism case, I will definitely reward you heavily. And as long as it is useful information, one thousand taels of silver. how?"
One thousand taels?
The woman and Song Li were both stunned.
The woman whispered: "The place where I live now is opposite Miaoling. I saw a young man about twenty years old coming to see her every now and then, and he would also spend the night at her house."
"I asked her out of curiosity once, and she said she was a small general at the border."
"Border General?" Liu Yijin was slightly stunned. Are the Border General in his twenties and a forty-year-old widow in love?
“How does this relate to Maitreya Buddhism?”
The woman smiled faintly: "Then it has a big relationship."
Liu Yijin saw the woman cheating and smiled, taking out a few silver notes from his sleeves and placing them on the table: "Here are one thousand taels of silver notes. Take it."
The woman's eyes flashed with dazzling light, and she held a thousand taels in her arms: "One day I was chatting with Na Miao Ling, and she said that there is a connection between this young general and Maitreya Buddhism, and that Miao Ling went through it that day. She is wearing gold and silver, and I heard that the young general gave her a lot of money."
"Oh?" Liu Yijin's heart moved: "Have you seen that young general?"
The woman shook her head in embarrassment: "No, Miao Ling was very careful, so I didn't have any chance. But one day I saw the man walking out through the crack in the door. There was a very beautiful painting on the folding fan in his hand. Strange painting.”
"What painting?"
The woman frowned and said, "It seems like an old man and a child are kneeling on the ground, and then there is a temple building in the distance."
Song Li on the side thought the woman was talking nonsense, and hurriedly looked at her to stop her: "You are talking nonsense, who can draw old people, children and temples on their fans?"
The woman glanced at Liu Yijin and saw that the latter was silent and solemn. She thought she had said the wrong thing, so she turned pale with fright and knelt on the ground: "Sir, I said the wrong thing, I said the wrong thing ”
When the woman talked about that painting, Liu Yijin's mind seemed to explode. He suddenly remembered the painting he saw in Prime Minister Liu Yong's house. It was an old man kneeling on the ground with his children, and there was a palace in front of him. .
But the woman was talking about the temple.
"Are you sure the picture above is a temple and not some palace?"
The woman looked nervous: "Yes, no."
Yuan Shuo on the side said angrily: "Is that so?"
The woman trembled: "I, I didn't see clearly. It might be a temple or a palace."
Liu Yijin looked solemn: "Did you find anything else?"
"No, no more."
Liu Yijin hummed: "You must keep this matter secret. If anyone asks, don't say anything more. One more thing, don't leave Qinghe County recently. I will come to you if anything happens."
"Okay." The woman stood up in a hurry and looked nervously at Song Li who was standing aside.
Song Li secretly wiped his sweat beads: "Sir, what about us?"
"You guys go first."
"Yuan Shuo, send them back!"
Watching the two people leaving, Liu Yijin narrowed his eyes slightly.
Who could be the young frontier general?
