The snow is getting heavier and heavier.
It almost swallowed up the entire Qingyang City.
Everywhere is covered in silver.
Zhong Yan called Zhong Xiaozhong to the study and talked about many news about the immortal cultivating forces in the Yan and Wei countries, analyzing and explaining them.
An hour later.
Zhong Yan put an 'Invisibility Talisman' and several 'Qingshen Mansion' on his body, went out of the Mansion alone, and disappeared into the wind and snow.
I felt a little expectant, but also a little nervous.
There is no doubt that he also knows that the Tianlinggen woman hiding in the Western District must have a higher level of cultivation than himself.
Even a lot.
If the other party only looks for Li Henian.
But it takes a lot of effort.
Hiding and running all the way.
Zhong Yan finally arrived at his destination, stood at the door of a small courtyard, and confirmed the house number.
The West District has a large population, with mixed residents and houses next to each other.
This place is relatively remote.
Coupled with the heavy snow, there were only sporadic lights nearby at this moment, glowing feebly.
And the small courtyard in front of me was even darker inside.
It was very late, the maid should have gone to bed, and the Tianlinggen woman was most likely hiding in the secret room.
To avoid conflict, Zhong Yan did not use his spiritual consciousness to scan and probe, and knocked the door knocker.
Repeat several times.
A vigilant response came from inside, "Who?"
"Return."
Zhong Yan gave the code.
Then there was the crunching sound of footsteps in the snow, running towards them.
The door opens.
A woman in her twenties opened the door, looked around, and said with a nervous and flustered face: "Are you sent by Mr. Li?"
"right."
Zhong Yan walked straight into the hospital and raised his eyebrows.
I saw a man in white pajamas walking to the door of the main hall while putting on a cotton-padded jacket, looking equally alert.
The woman hurriedly knelt down and cried: "This slave deserves to die! I failed to take good care of the young lady, and she disappeared!"
Zhong Yan's head buzzed, and he quickly searched with his consciousness. Sure enough, except for the two people in front of him, there was no other breath in the entire courtyard. He asked: "Why are they missing?"
"The lady has been gone for a long time. Last year..."
Let’s talk about it in detail.
It turns out that the Tianlinggen woman left on her own in March last year, knocked the maid unconscious, and never came back.
Zhong Yan went into the house to check, and was taken to the underground secret room. There were fragments of spiritual stones on the ground that had been used to deplete vitality, as well as some empty pill bottles and herbal residues...
"After the young lady left, I haven't touched anything in this room again."
Zhong Yan glanced at her and said, "Why didn't you inform the master?"
"The master said that we can only wait for him to find him. No matter what happens, we cannot contact the Li Mansion... This slave has been searching everywhere in the city for more than a year, until she heard that the master passed away a few months ago..."
Zhong Yan asked: "Who is that man outside?"
The woman knelt on the ground, her expression tensed, and she rested her head on the ground, "He, he is a slave friend, and he came here to stay for the night..."
Zhong Yan snorted coldly.
She immediately said: "No, no, he is my lover! I only got to know him after the master passed away. I didn't tell him anything about the lady. He didn't know about this secret room. Everything I said is true." , please be aware of this!"
Zhong Yan was suffocating in his chest, but he could tell that what the other party said was the truth.
Tian Linggen took the initiative to escape for some unknown reason. The most likely reason is that as his cultivation progressed, the 'Forgetting Water' became ineffective and the other party regained his memory.
As for the maid in front of her, the furniture and clothing in the courtyard were all of the best quality. She obviously got a lot of property left by Li Henian. Seeing that the matter was unresolved, she found a man to live with.
"Tell him to come down."
Zhong Yan further questioned and compared the two people carefully, and confirmed that there were no flaws. The Tianlinggen woman had never left the courtyard before fleeing.
"Do you remember what she looks like?"
"Remember! Remember! This slave can draw it!"
Zhong Yan was a little surprised and said coldly: "You neglected your duty and secretly communicated with outsiders. This is unforgivable. I will draw the portrait carefully and spare your life!"
"Yes Yes!"
After a stick of incense.
Zhong Yan took the portrait and looked at it carefully. The painting was quite good, with expressive features and a beautiful face. There was a tear mole in the corner of the eye, which could be recognized at a glance.
"Have you ever been to Li Mansion?"
"I have never been there. No one in the Li family knows this slave except the master. I was rescued by the master in the early years and became a secret agent of the Li family's death guard. She has been working in the No. 1 Library in the North District. Later, the master assigned me this task."
Zhong Yan nodded and asked: "This painting is good. Have you read a book? Do you practice martial arts?"
The woman's heart moved, and she hurriedly said: "I have no martial arts qualifications, and I can't practice inner energy. However, I am originally from Heishui City. My family is a little rich. I have played chess, calligraphy and painting since elementary school. I can also distinguish directions and routes quickly. Memorizing things is of some use, I am willing to do your best for you!"
"Stay here for now and listen to your orders later."
"Yes, thank you, sir!"
"Thank you, sir! Come slowly, sir!" The man on the side also thanked him again and again.
Zhong Yan walked to the door of the secret room, turned his head and flicked his fingers twice.
Two rays of sword light sank into their eyebrows, and their smiles froze.
Remove all suspicious traces from the courtyard.
Zhong Yan suppressed the disappointment in his heart and left.
…
…
Late at night it's almost midnight.
In the bedroom.
After washing and bathing, Zhou Yunning, wearing a red dress, sat at the table, looking at the bronze mirror in a daze.
In the mirror, the face lightly painted with pink and white is like a painting, with beautiful nose and lips, skin as good as snow, but no one appreciates her charming appearance.
"Why……"
Zhou Yunning let out a sigh in his heart, and the face in his mind couldn't be removed.
When I first met Zhong Yan, I invited her to go to sea.
At that time, they were still uncle and sister-in-law. With only a few words, I felt that the handsome and extraordinary Zhong Yan had a unique temperament.
Seeing each other again is the reward after the destruction of Xue Mansion.
Having already learned many details of the plan from Yan Sandao, she felt that Zhong Yanqi was majestic and resourceful, and she admired it, not admiring him but admiring him.
Later, it was heard that Li Henian, who had only met twice, could not return. With Li Yang's secret planning, the slightest affection began to emerge.
That time she went out of the city overnight and learned that it was to rescue Li Henian. God knows that at that time she was actually a little disappointed with her husband's return.
Finally, I was lucky enough to enter the Zhong Mansion, and my secret love gradually grew. Until Dongcao told me to sleep with him tonight, my depressed heart finally stopped being calm and burned with heat.
The first person Zhong Yan chose after several months of seclusion.
Even though she was confident that she was one of the most beautiful among the many women in the Zhong Mansion, she couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.
As Jiang Ping said, the most important thing in a mortal woman's life is to marry the person she likes.
For her, even more so.
But now.
I waited for more than three hours.
Yan Sandao and Dong Cao came here, chatted for a long time, waited for a long time, and left for a long time.
"Mortals can't compete with monks after all..."
She felt a little disappointed, thinking that Zhong Yan had probably gone to Yu Qingyao's place.
The little maid standing at the door wanted to yawn, so she quickly reached out to cover her mouth, rubbed her eyes, walked forward with a little hesitation, bowed and said carefully:
"Ten Madam, didn't the Second Madam say that the master may have gone to practice? He probably won't come until tomorrow. How about your servant help you add some more fuel?"
Zhou Yunning glanced at the brazier next to him and said, "No, let's have a rest."
"yes."
The little maid leaned down, quickly fiddled with the bed and lifted the quilt, and then returned to help the master take off the headdress and undress.
At this time, there was a "squeaking" sound of the door opening outside.
Zhou Yunning's eyes lit up and he turned his head.
The little maid ran out immediately, and then there was a crisp cry: "This slave has seen the master!"
Zhou Yunning quickly put the hairpin he had just removed back into her bun, waved it twice in front of the mirror, and stood up to greet her.
"Husband! You are here!"
Zhong Yan nodded slightly and walked to the table to sit down.
Zhou Yunning's heart tightened. It seemed that her husband was not in a good mood. He made a gesture to the maid and stepped forward to help pour tea.
Zhong Yan asked: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
Zhou Yunning nodded with a smile, "It took a while, but the time passed very quickly when Sister Sandao and Sister Dongcao were chatting here. Husband, please have tea."
Zhong Yan looked at her, she seemed to have done a lot of homework and knew that she liked to hear the truth.
"Do you know why you are put in charge of the battle hall?"
"Thank you for your trust, husband, because I have the highest level of martial arts in the house and have more prestige."
"Because you are independent, smart and knowledgeable."
Zhong Yan took a deep look at her. This woman had an unusual background.
She was originally the princess of Ruyang Palace in the Wei State. After the Ruyang City was destroyed in the Wei State War, she fled to the Yan State and was captured by the Marriage Pavilion in Wangxi City.
She has read poetry and art of war since she was a child, practiced martial arts diligently, served in the army, and been on the battlefield, so she is now in her twenties, unmarried, and an old girl.
You know, in this world, many women get married and start having children at the age of fourteen.
Currently, she is the oldest in the Zhong Mansion, in her mid-twenties, a few years older than Jiang Ping, who was the first to enter the manor.
Moreover, Zhong Yan once heard Li Henian say that Zhou Yunning had a certain right of independent choice in Wangxi City Marriage Pavilion, and most people would not marry.
After all, he had been a princess, had a lot of knowledge, and was a master in the Xiantian realm. He had a sense of arrogance and a high vision.
If Li Henian hadn't reached the sixth level of Qi refining and was willing to pay the price, he might not have been able to marry her back.
Zhou Yunning and Zhong Yan looked at each other and nodded, "I will definitely do a good job and share my husband's worries."
Zhong Yan said calmly: "It is said that monks are indifferent to emotions, and I, Zhong Yan, do not deny it. The Zhong family has many wives and concubines, and it is indeed a family. After we have been together for a long time, you will understand me;
Yan Sandao was once a bandit, but I fell in love with her at first sight. Now I am in love with her. But for you, I start with your appearance, but I value your heart even more.
In the Zhong clan, no matter whether you still have lofty ambitions in your heart, your talents will not be buried. Once we are husband and wife, we are destined to be together. I am willing to spend time with you hand in hand. "
Zhou Yunning looked at Zhong Yan steadily, with a light hidden in the depths of his beautiful eyes.
When I heard "It starts with appearance", my heart was happy and my cheeks turned red; when I heard "couple", I was touched; when I heard "Hand in Hand", my heart seemed to be torn open, and bursts of warm current flowed.
She pursed her lips, stood up and squatted in front of Zhong Yan, her cheek pressed against her legs, her face raised and the corners of her mouth curved in a charming way.
"Zhong Yan, I am very lucky to marry you."
"Now that I know your intentions, Yun Ning will have no regrets in her life!"
Zhong extended his hand to touch his pretty cheek and said, "Have a rest."
"Yes, husband!"
The red camouflage is gone.
Breathtakingly beautiful.
Red lips show shame.
Gentle and harmonious.
