After hearing Xue Huan'er's arrangement, Qingyan thought it was very suitable. She had thought the same way before, but she didn't expect Xue Huan'er to be so cooperative and she immediately thought of going together.
"Where did the Fifth Young Master go? Why didn't you see him?"
Could it be that he also went out to look for her? That would be embarrassing. She went out in the name of going to the toilet. Xue Huan'er and the others were fine. But if Li Hanyun went to go with them, she would feel a little awkward.
Xue Huan'er: "Muxue always pestered him to tell embarrassing things about his classmates. When he was annoyed, he said he had gone out to eat. Before leaving, he told where he was going, saying he was going to the lotus pond."
Because Qingyuan Temple is close to a water source, a water channel was led into the temple, and a lotus pond was dug between the backyard and the central courtyard. Lotus has special significance in Buddhism. In addition, lotus pods have many seeds, so planting them in this temple also has a symbolic meaning. good.
It's just that this is not the south after all. The lotus bloom season is very short. You can only see it in the summer month. The rest of the time, there is no scenery in the lotus pond.
Just like now, all the leaves beside the pond have fallen, leaving only bare tree trunks. There are only dried lotus leaves and withered yellow poles in the pond, which makes people feel like a bleak autumn wind is coming again for no reason.
When Qingyan and Xue Huan'er came over, they saw Li Hanyun leaning on a tree trunk and looking at the scenery in the pool. Not to mention, this scene was quite artistic.
"Fifth brother!"
Xue Huan'er shouted loudly.
"Sister-in-law, why are you here?"
Qingyan had just been out for a while when he came out, so now that he saw her, he didn't ask her where she went, but just wondered how they got here.
Xue Huan'er looked around. They were not the only ones here. There were also people strolling around not far away. This was not a place for talking.
He pulled Li Hanyun to a pavilion not far from the lotus pond. The terrain here was high and he could clearly see the surroundings. There was no need to worry about anyone hearing their conversation.
Then he said in a low voice: "Just now, someone sneakily passed by behind our yard, and sister Heng Yue happened to see it. She followed quietly and found..."
She added some of her own imagination to what Qingyan said to her, and added a lot of descriptions of thrilling scenes, with ups and downs of cadence, which made Li Hanyun stunned for a while.
Qingyan listened to the side and doubted herself. Is she really the heroine she said, who is not afraid of life and death, serves the country and the people, and is righteous?
Li Hanyun felt excited after hearing this. He was indeed the master he wanted to worship. He was indeed no ordinary person!
After hearing the task assigned to him by Xue Huan'er, he clapped his chest loudly and said with a look of resignation: "Sister-in-law and sister Yang, don't worry, I'll go over and have a look. I'll keep my face low and I promise not to alert anyone."
Xue Huan'er patted him hard on the shoulder, with a look of appreciation on her face, "Well done, you are worthy of being a good son of our Li family. All of them are brave men who are ready to go into battle at any time. My sister-in-law is optimistic about you!"
"..." Qingyan twitched the corner of her mouth, a little speechless towards these two people.
You just go and take a look, there's really no need to act like you're about to be stained with blood on the battlefield.
Although she thought so, when Li Hanyun passed by, Qingyan still paid attention to him with her spiritual consciousness, and asked Chou Chou to help if anything went wrong.
After Li Hanyun passed there, he headed directly towards Vice General Wang's yard. Even if the other people were suspicious, he, a young man with no martial arts skills and no official position, was not capable of dealing with them.
The best way is to confirm whether the Deputy General Wang is the one they know. If not, it is assumed that they are in the wrong yard and they can exit quickly.
If so, it's easy to talk about it. You can tell the other party all this and let the other party investigate and deal with it. A veteran who has been on the battlefield for many years has much more experience than these people.
This is the method the three of them discussed. Qingyan will wait at the junction of the male and female pilgrims' courtyards. If anything goes wrong, just ask Li Hanyun to shout loudly, and she will go to the rescue as soon as possible.
So although Li Hanyun was a little uneasy, he was still confident. He had never seen Qingyan's skills. Xue Huan'er's exaggeration gave him more room for imagination. In his mind, she was a master who could fly over walls and kill people invisible.
He stood at the door of the courtyard, took a deep breath, reached out and knocked on the door.
In fact, the courtyard door was not closed, but open.
After all, we were in a temple and it was noon, so it was a bit strange to have the courtyard door tightly closed.
He knocked on the door just out of courtesy. If he didn't know who was inside, he couldn't shout loudly, so he had to knock on the door.
Fortunately, his knock on the door was loud and the surroundings were quiet, so the people inside heard the sound soon.
Li Hanyun's heart was filled with worry, but he immediately put it back in his stomach after seeing the person coming out.
He knew this man as Wang Kaiyuan, Deputy General Wang's nephew, who had been with Deputy General Wang5.
Vice Admiral Wang had no sons, only three daughters, so he took his nephew with him to train him, and often brought him in and out of the garrison. Li Hanyun had met him a few times, but he had never spoken to him alone and he was not very familiar with him.
"Fifth Young Master? Why are you here?"
Obviously the other party also recognized him and asked with some confusion.
"We are here to visit the temple fair, Uncle Wang, is Grandpa Wang here?"
Qingyan's consciousness followed him and discovered that this person was not the one eavesdropping from behind the abbot's room just now, but the one who was in the room before.
She put her consciousness into the room and saw that the eavesdropper had been sent to the back room by Deputy General Wang when he heard the noise outside.
This person probably specializes in doing things secretly, and it's not appropriate to show up in public, so he hid first.
Li Hanyun followed Wang Kaiyuan into the room and bowed to Deputy General Wang in a polite manner.
Although he is the grandson of Guards, he does not hold any official position. The other party is not only an elder, but also his grandfather's lieutenant. He must treat him as a junior.
They greeted each other politely and then asked him what he was doing.
Lieutenant General Wang was a little confused. He had never gone out. How did the other party know that he was here?
Then I saw Li Hanyun looking around the house furtively, then opening the window at the back and sticking his head out to take a look. Is he afraid that someone was eavesdropping behind him?
Then he ran to the yard and looked around before returning to the house.
Not only were the uncle and nephew looking at him strangely, but Qingyan was also a little blind.
The man in the room pricked up his ears to listen to what was going on outside, and now he also had a puzzled look on his face.
After doing this, Li Hanyun lowered his voice and spoke to Deputy General Wang's uncle and nephew.
Wang Linyan's face had no expression at first. When Li Hanyun said what he said, his face gradually lost its tension.
He frowned slightly when he heard that the wife of the female guest, the prison general, actually met a monk in the temple and talked in Tubo.
When Li Hanyun mentioned that Qingyan followed his people to the host's side, he couldn't help but glance into the inner room.
It seems that his men still need to practice more. They don't even know they are being followed. Fortunately, they are not enemies, otherwise they don't know how they died.
Then he heard that the host was playing chess with a man with a scar on his face, a guard outside, and a hidden guard in the tree. At this time, his face was already extremely gloomy.
Qingyan used her consciousness to observe the changes in his facial expression, guessing that the other person might know the person with the scar on his face, so when she heard the description of the other person's appearance, her face immediately darkened, indicating that the person's identity was indeed unusual. , it is very likely that he and Vice General Wang still have some grudges.
After listening to this, Vice General Wang asked: "Do you think Miss Yang can completely repeat the Tubo language she heard?"
"Yes, Miss Yang is very powerful. Not only is she highly skilled in martial arts, but she also has an ear-piercing memory and a photographic memory..."
Li Hanyun nodded. He now blindly worships Qingyan and praises her without any hesitation.
Qingyan felt a little ashamed when she heard this. The ability of retentive memory and photographic memory was not hers, it was ugly.
Vice General Wang didn't tell him that he wanted to see Qingyan. It wasn't that he didn't understand the Tubo dialect. Even if he didn't understand it, the person in the room understood it, otherwise he wouldn't have let him eavesdrop.
His confidant may not be very skilled, but he can understand the languages of many countries and local dialects, so he can be said to be the best candidate for a spy.
Now that we know that the man is colluding with the abbot, let's take it down together. This is considered our own territory, and we must not let the other party leave.
Of course, you can't go there rashly. Although Qinzhou is their base camp, it can be seen from the abbot and the monk of Qingyuan Temple that they must have something to do with that place.
It's hard to say how many people from the other party are here, so he still needs to organize the manpower.
Vice General Wang winked at his nephew, and Wang Kaiyuan immediately turned around and went out.
Li Hanyun glanced at his back in confusion, then looked at Vice General Wang and said, "What did Uncle Wang do? Is there anything I can use here?"
Vice General Wang shook his head and said: "Don't stay here any longer. There will be chaos and danger here soon. You go find your sister-in-law and the others and leave here and go back to the city together. Wait until I catch all those people and go back Let’s go find you and Miss Yang again.”
Li Hanyun said hesitantly: "Don't you need our help? I can leave with my sister-in-law and the others first. Miss Yang should be able to help. She is really good at martial arts, and she has seen those people and can help identify them." , lest they run away and find no one."
Qingyan nodded. Yes, that's what it meant. She didn't want to see Vice General Wang before, fearing that he would recognize her and find it hard to explain. There was no need now. Anyway, Xue Huan'er already thought she was her daughter, so there would be one more Wang. The deputy general is fine too.
Besides, Li Hao didn't know when she would come back. If she came back and met him, it would be bad to be secretive. Besides, she had no grudge against them, so there was no need to hide. She could just be open and honest.
Vice General Wang still shook his head, "No, it's already a big help now. There's no need to involve us in this. We already had some arrangements and we just wanted to verify them. Now that we know there is indeed a problem here, there's no need to do anything more." Excuse me, Miss Yang."
Qingyan was a little disappointed. She wanted to participate. Even if she couldn't do it directly, she could at least help them find the person secretly. She had the consciousness to find the person easily.
And even if she can't, Chou Chou has been keeping an eye on those people. It shouldn't be too easy to find those people in the first place.
Since they won't let them help, they can't force them. It would be bad if they cause trouble later.
Li Hanyun was sent out of the yard by Vice General Wang himself. He originally wanted to send him directly back to their side, but Li Hanyun refused.
He had other business to attend to, so he couldn't waste Vice General Wang's time, so he left on his own.
Walking to the junction of the two courtyards, she saw Qingyan standing there. She changed her frustration and stepped forward with a bared smile. Just as she was about to speak, Qingyan stretched out her hand to interrupt him and gave him a gesture. With a wink, the two of them walked back.
After entering the courtyard, Qingyan lowered her voice and said, "How is it? Is it the Vice General Wang you know?"
Li Hanyun nodded, "Yes, it's Grandpa Wang and his nephew. The one you met may be Uncle Wang. His name is Wang Kaiyuan. He is the youngest son of Grandpa Wang's eldest brother. He has always been with Grandpa Wang. It is regarded as an adoptive care for him in his old age.
There are only two of them in the yard. I always thought that Uncle Wang was very good and powerful. He didn't even notice you, Sister Yang, and was saved by you. Then sister, you must be even more powerful! "
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, feeling that if he learned kung fu from such a powerful person, he would definitely be much better than others.
Qingyan knew what he was thinking by looking at his expression, and she didn't hit him. She listened to what he said about what he told the other party, and expressed some frustration. He wanted to help, but knew that he was not capable, so she Qingyan was recommended, but she also refused.
He also said that he was a little reckless and wanted her to help without her consent. This was wrong and he apologized.
Qingyan waved her hands, "It's okay, I also want to do my best. Since the other party refuses, forget it. We can't mess up on our own. It would be bad to avoid causing trouble for others. Since there is going to be chaos here, then Quickly pack up and leave.”
Li Hanyun nodded, and then the two of them entered the house. After talking to Xue Huan'er, Xue Huan'er went into the inner room.
Mrs. Wang and Li Muxue took a nap in bed together, while Wang Qingyue closed her eyes and rested on the soft couch. The three of them were still a little confused after being woken up.
Xue Huan'er only said that someone had just come to notify them and asked them to leave here quickly. Something was going to happen here, but did not say what it was specifically.
Mrs. Wang is frail and thoughtful, and there is also a time bomb called Aunt Chen in her family. Wang Tongpan doesn't know if she knows about it, so he can't tell her too clearly.
Although Wang Qingyue and Li Muxue were curious, seeing the serious expressions of the three of them, they did not dare to delay. They quickly packed up and left the yard.
They wanted to walk to the front yard. Their carriage was parked at the side door. They walked from the back yard through the middle yard and then through the front yard. The distance was quite far. It took more than ten minutes of walking to reach the middle yard.
When I walked to the middle courtyard, I happened to meet four maids who were looking for someone to come back. I just asked them to go out together.
As a result, before we even reached the front yard, there was chaos in the back. I could vaguely hear someone shouting, "There's water in the back yard!"
