In the small courtyard where Zhao Yunchu stayed, the fake Liangsha Jiugongyan left immediately, but Zhao Yunchu paced back and forth in the same place for a long time, obviously weighing the pros and cons and deciding the internal pros and cons. It wasn't until Zhao Yun returned to the bamboo house that he quietly appeared in the middle of the night.
Because of what Jiugong Yan had just overheard, the three-story attic really gave people a feeling like a thorn in the back. Even in the middle of the night, he didn’t dare to be rash again. He walked around in a big circle, dodging in the process. Several waves of patrolling guards were enough to show that the consequences of the trouble he had caused in the past half day were really serious.
He still climbed over the wall to enter, and saw the light again in the room where the lights were supposed to be turned off. There were shadowy figures inside and faint voices of conversation. He was like a frightened bird in the middle of the night and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He couldn't care about anything else. Several ups and downs crossed the yard and crashed into the door.
Three women in one drama, but half of them are missing now. The little girl Hongzao was lying on the low table in front of the window, her eyes bleary-eyed, and she was about to fall asleep with her head banging. Ye Xiayou and Liangchun were sitting face to face. Although they didn't look like they were having a pleasant conversation, there was no awkwardness between them being silent.
At this time, he saw Ye San Geng crashing into the house like a reckless man. Ye Xia You heard the ups and downs of breathing and knew who it was. Liang Chun looked at the panting Ye San Geng with a surprised look, and did not regain consciousness for a long time. Even Hong Zao was startled. He stood up in a daze, looked at the three people in front of him with wide eyes, sat down again and fell asleep. At this time, Li no longer tried to cheer up, but just like before, he snored lightly. .
Feeling reckless, Ye Sangeng looked a little embarrassed and nodded as a greeting, saying: "Miss Chun'er is here."
Liangchun stood up, cupped his fists and saluted, "Third Young Master."
After the two sides said hello, the room fell into silence again, as if there was nothing to say.
Ye Xiayou said: "It's just a coincidence that Miss Chun'er came just as you went out."
"I just came to talk to the second young lady." Regarding Ye Xiayou's explanation, Liangchun felt a little awkward, as if he came specifically to see Ye San Geng. His pride got in his way, and he hurriedly explained, but after he finished speaking, he couldn't feel it. OK, so he added another sentence and said, "There are some things that I don't understand, so I came to ask the second lady for advice. Now there is nothing to do, I will leave first." After saying this, Yingying gave a blessing and said goodbye to Ye Xiayou. Sin, without even looking at Hong Zao who was already asleep beside him, hurried out of the house as if running away.
"What's wrong with this girl?" He kept watching Liangchun's back disappear in the middle of the night, and then heard the creaking sound of the wooden door, and then asked with a puzzled look on his face, "What were you two talking about and what did Miss Liangchun suffer?" Exciting? It’s a fist-cup and a blessing, what’s the rule?”
"A girl's thoughts," Ye Xiayou said with a mysterious look, "It's like the beginning of spring."
"What do you mean?" Ye Sangeng became more and more confused as he listened. He sat down next to his sister and took a swig of water. "Why are you not normal?"
Immediately, Ye Xieyou kicked her in vain, and she said: "It's hot and cold, it's hard to grasp."
Regarding her sister's profound remarks, Ye Sangen curled her lips and sneered, but suddenly remembered something, jumped up with a slap on her thigh, and said anxiously: "It's broken, it's broken."
"What's wrong?" The sudden surprise in the middle of the night startled Ye Xiayou, "What's wrong?"
Hong Zao over there opened his eyes in a daze, then changed the direction and continued sleeping.
After all, he is still a child, he has nothing in his heart, he is at ease, and he stays in his heart.
After talking about the important things about what he had just seen and heard, Ye Sangen guessed at the last whisper between Jiugong Yan and Zhao Yun: "Are they preparing to take action?"
Ye Xiayou didn't answer, but combed through the context, trying to find some more clues.
In the middle of the night, he was a little anxious. When he thought about it, the first priority now was to tell Liangchun everything he knew. If Jiugongyan and Zhao Yun took action, if nothing else, Liangchun would definitely do it without knowing what was going on. A moment of carelessness can counterattack others.
At this time, Ye San Geng felt a little regretful. He had so much time in the afternoon, why didn't he talk to Liangchun about the fake Liangsha and let her get ready.
When I thought about the third watch of the night, I remembered Ye Hao's explanation in the afternoon: the matter is far from being solved, and the final decision will not be made until the clouds clear and the sun comes out.
According to this meaning, I guess I have to wait for my opponent to come to me before I can take action.
"Jiugong Yan is not a simple-minded person, but what about his skills?"
Ye Sangen did not expect that Ye Xiayou would ask such a question after thinking for a while. At this time, shouldn't he first consider how to deal with the two people who want to disturb the stability of the watershed?
"I have a question for you." Ye Xiayou urged.
Ye Sangen came back to his senses and shook his head, "I have never fought before, but I have seen him kill people. He is familiar with his techniques and agile, but as the leader of an intelligence organization, he should not be much weaker."
Ye Xie did not say anything more on this topic, and said: "Miss Liangchun came to me and said that Zhao Yunchu went to see her in the afternoon and told her what happened at the wine table with you. Zhao Yunchu and Liangchun The girl said that by secretly testing you, she could be sure that you had some agenda before taking action. But now I hear you say that Zhao Yun's action was just a provocation to make you and Miss Liangchun have a grudge. After all, for your name , including the supporter of the Ye family, Zhao Yunchu still has some scruples. Miss Liangchun is also sincere and told me all her suspicions about you. She suspected that you were colluding with some hall master or elder, but later She was woken up by her mother. She just came here, ostensibly to talk for a while, but actually she came to apologize and make herself feel better."
"This girl is probably stupid because of listening to books." Ye Sangen curled his lips and cursed.
Admittedly, it would be weird to be upset that someone would be suspicious of a family that he had risked just for the sake of a one-time relationship.
Thinking of the good guest, and thinking of the two orphaned mothers, I could only utter this slight complaint in the middle of the night.
How could I not guess my brother's thoughts so far away at night? She smiled and said: "This girl made a special trip at night just to make amends for you. Look at how petty you are."
Midnight curled his lips, disapproving.
Ye Xiayou said again: "Miss Liangchun also went to the back mountain to see her grandfather Liang Zhongting at noon, but no one was seen. I think Miss Liangchun is kind-hearted and wants to help us talk things over."
Ye Xiaer kicked his brother under the table just to make him concentrate on listening to her speech.
The third night of the night said "hmm".
"Originally, I just wanted to wait until the situation here becomes clear before talking to Miss Liangchun, but now it seems to be getting really tricky. Go and tell Miss Liangchun everything you know, including my disassembly and analysis. , let her know.”
After a pause, as if he was deep in thought, Ye Xiayou muttered: "Jiugongyan, who pretends to be a good building, has had bad intentions for a long time..."
Ye Xiayou didn't say the last two words, but her younger brother knew it.
Standing up while holding her sister's hand, Ye Sangeng said softly: "I know."
…
…
There is a relatively large martial arts field between the backyard and the front yard, where the training of the soldiers below is carried out in the village.
No different than before, after starting a legitimate business in the past ten or twenty years, the water thieves of the past can no longer do those things of cutting trails and taking money, and have become foot soldiers who patrol the water village and look after the homes and courtyards all day long. .
As a result, this martial arts performance ground no longer had the noisy atmosphere of training soldiers and horses in the past. Instead, some strong soldiers are now here to exercise their muscles and bones and build their bodies.
The east and west sides of the martial arts arena are similar to the wing rooms set up by big families in the city for the servants to live in. There is a row of spacious houses with a large open space inside, which is the residence of the guards. On the south side are relatively comfortable rooms, two or three bedrooms, transparent from north to south. They are mostly the residences of the four hall masters in the village and some of the smaller leaders below.
Because the two village masters, Huo Bing, both died at noon, the people in the village were in panic at this moment. In addition, there were two riots caused by the assassin in the middle of the night. There were still many soldiers who should have rested at this time who were not on duty all night. They all tried their best to patrol.
At midnight, he came out to chase Liangchun until he reached the corridor between the backyard and the martial arts field. He didn't see Liangchun, but instead saw a sneaky figure.
The person was holding a lantern and could only see the hem of her skirt. She was walking quickly in small steps. It was obvious that she was a woman, but when she saw her appearance, she just kept looking left and right, in a furtive manner. When he saw the patrolling guards, he didn't avoid them, he just said hello and continued walking.
In the middle of the night, he was worried about attracting attention and did not want to get too involved with the soldiers, so he hid all the way and did not dare to get too close. Although he couldn't hear what the other party said, he could still see the respectful posture of the patrolman. This made him even more confused in the middle of the night, wondering what a woman of such status was doing at this time.
At this time, the entire watershed is undercurrent, and all forces are looking for opportunities to intervene, either covertly or covertly. Therefore, Ye Sangeng, who has already stepped into this muddy water, has to be as cautious as a snake, and any slight disturbance will affect him. All are threats that must be guarded against.
The woman carrying the lantern walked along the corridor to the martial arts arena. Instead of walking in a circle, she walked straight through the open space in the middle to the southernmost row.
In the middle of the night, I was naturally afraid of exposing my whereabouts, so I stopped and hid along the way. Now I not only needed to be on guard against the patrols who would appear at any time, but also on guard against the eyes on the pavilion to the north. Even now It was pitch dark, and I didn’t dare to take it lightly even at three o’clock in the night.
During the day, Hong Zao led the way and was introduced to the general layout of the village. Knowing that this was the residence of the guards, he walked even more carefully in the middle of the night, watching the woman's progress and always paying attention. Will anyone come out of the next room?
The woman stopped at the door of a house in the east corner. First she looked around and saw that there was no one around, then she raised her hand and knocked on the door.
There was a vague voice in the room, impatiently asking who it was. The woman raised the lantern and called out "Master Xia," and the woman's face was reflected in the candlelight.
You can't see clearly what's going on behind the pillars, but when you open the door, you can tell it's Xia Ao. Xia Ao held up the lampstand and was surprised when he saw the person coming, "Why are you here at this time, Mrs. Sister-in-law?"
A good guest’s wife?
In the middle of the night, I had a vague impression of seeing him in that big house at noon.
The woman asked: "Is it convenient for Hall Master Xia? Can you go in and talk?"
Apparently thinking of what he had experienced at noon, Xia Ao, who had not participated in the besieging of the assassins that night because of this incident, shuddered, looked behind the woman, and asked, "Master Xia is not here?" After that, he added, " That fake one.”
Liangsha's mother looked around and said, "Go in first, it's not good to be seen."
Xia Aowei, who also knew some etiquette, wondered: "Madam, it would be bad if someone saw you coming in."
Liangsha's mother said anxiously: "He was the one who arranged for me to come here. Why are you so long-winded?" After saying this, he squeezed directly into the house regardless of whether Xia Ao agreed or not.
Under the weak candlelight, Xia Ao looked embarrassed, but he still looked around and saw no one around, turned around and closed the door.
He showed up in the middle of the night and tiptoed over. He had to figure out why Jiugongyan, who was pretending to be a good man, had this woman come here late at night.
As soon as I put my ear to the window, before I could hear clearly what was going on in the house, there was a loud noise in my ears in the middle of the night. Someone was complaining that they had caught the assassin and wanted to chop it up and feed it to the dogs.
The voice came from not far away, and it sounded familiar even in the middle of the night.
The one who gave himself a knife not long ago.
In the middle of the night, he secretly thought that it was the right time and scanned the surroundings to find a hiding place. Looking up, I saw the intersection of sections above the corridor. The interlaced mortise and tenon joints were just enough to support one person.
Without having time to think about it, he stepped on the railing next to him and stood up, reaching out to grab the lattice. Unexpectedly, a hand came out from the room next to him, grabbed the belt around his waist, and dragged him into the house. .
In the middle of the night, he changed his mind and pushed out with his elbow, but he stopped when he saw the appearance of the man.
"How did you..."
Before he finished speaking, the man covered his mouth and pushed him behind the door.
It's just that the man didn't notice that the two of them were close to each other and their heads were very close to each other. It was really... ambiguous.
