It was quiet on the official road. On one side of the road, which was as flat as a mirror, two young men squatted with their backs. As for the reward that Song Li said could impress him, Ye San was even more puzzled: "Three years ago, because of the incident involving my family, the Holy Master was angry, and Jiediao Temple had already resigned and went to Puningfang. Let's not talk about the time when he was the eunuch who passed the decree. Even if you don't have such ability, now he is a powerless old man, what ability can he have to get you back?" Song Li explained: "Although he was the one who found me at first, he has always been a man and a woman since then. The prime minister's bald head contacted me and told me your location. I also asked my brothers to follow me at the beginning, but when I arrived in Nanshi, the man disappeared. You also know that the water in Nanshi is too deep, and I had some troubles with them. Can’t get in.”
"Nanshi?" Midnight was even more surprised,
"How can the people from Nanshi still be connected with the people in the palace?" Song Li was naturally puzzled, and said: "I also asked Jie Diao Temple, and Jie Diao Temple just said that the person found him in Andingfang. I told him about this in my house. He doesn’t know the specific situation.” The third update in the night was just
He said "Oh" and fell into deep thought. Not involving the Luminous Monument, I really don’t know who else will catch me in the middle of the night.
Could it be that people from some of the major aristocratic families in the capital used the luminous monument to work together to pay for the murder?
While she was deep in thought, she suddenly heard Song Li joking: "Why do you feel like you haven't gained weight in a few years?" It turned out to be a joke made by this old friend who had known each other for many years. In the middle of the night, he also learned how to squat like Song Li. He just turned forward and backward, and said with a smile: "Doesn't this mean that I haven't suffered in the past few years, I eat well, sleep well, and have nothing to do." Song Li curled his lips and laughed. A big disaster, it would be strange to be able to eat well and sleep soundly.
Based on his understanding of the young man in front of him who really didn't seem to take anything to heart, it was at least as if he had been having trouble sleeping and eating for the past three or four years.
Song Li smiled and said: "It's been more than three years, where have you been? I heard a few days ago that you appeared in Lixia City and even went to Wudang for a fight. In fact, I should have guessed that the person arrested was you. Things are really unpredictable." Hehehe in the middle of the night. If the mountain is not just me, then the mountain is the mountain. It is difficult for two mountains to touch each other, but two people can meet each other no matter what.
In the middle of the night, he said: "After such a big disaster, I must have taken my second sister to run away. They left Beijing and went north to Dameng. They made a long circle to the Western Regions and followed the Tea Horse Road into Bashu. They walked ten Wanda Mountain, cross Lingnan, go east along the Yangtze River, sail around Penglai to the land of Youyan, go south to watch the river, then go west all the way, stop and go. Go to Kaifeng to Luoyang, go to Jinling to Yanjing, fireworks in March In Yangzhou, which makes people forget about Sichuan, Hu Tian saw the flying snow like a knife in August, the ups and downs of the tide on the Qiantang River were heart-stirring, and the sunset over the long river in the desert was a cup of turbid wine in an isolated city. Very good, very good." Song Li sneered,
"Miss Ye Er is still so talented in literature." Ye San was even more noncommittal. The two fell into silence, and neither of them spoke in a tacit understanding.
After all, it was Ye San who couldn't bear the quiet atmosphere. After a period of silence, he was the first to speak: "What about you?" Song Li looked up at the sky, holding a green grass branch in his mouth and shaking it.
"Going into seclusion." Ye Sangen grinned. He didn't believe that Song Li would live in seclusion at all, just like he didn't believe that Qi Moyan would stop playing chess one day. Some things have no reason, but there is no one. letter.
Song Li also curled her lips and smiled, put on that naive smile again, and said in a nonchalant manner: "It must have been the fifteenth year of Emperor Wu Jian's reign. A group of seventeen of us were selected by the big leader Han Gu. When I joined the Knife Catchers, the oldest one was probably eight years old and the youngest one was five years old. I really hoped that I could turn around from the pit of villains. At the very least, there wouldn't be anyone like my mother who couldn't even pack life-saving herbs. During those years in the palace, he was beaten every day, but it was Jie Diao Temple who took care of him, so he did not have to deal with this little life in the daily training. He said that he was destined to me and wanted to accept me as his son to support him in his old age. How could I agree to see you off? But my mother said that a drop of water will repay you with a spring of water. I think it is embarrassing to be the son of a eunuch, but I don't think it is embarrassing to provide for an eunuch in old age. There is no conflict." Late in the night, I was thinking in my mind. During the interaction between the two of them, I suddenly realized that from the time they met until now, the total number of words Song Li had said to him was not as much as what he had said in just a short while today.
Ye Sangeng could naturally guess what he wanted to say. For Song Li, who seemed to be born not very good at talking, Ye Sangeng was quite understanding and quietly listened to him express his feelings that he was not good at expressing.
"Four years ago, because of the scandal at that stall, Jie Diao Temple has always been taking care of me. For more than a year, he introduced me to the business in the world. I don't dare to say how much I make, at least. Didn't starve to death. You think this upbringing makes no difference, right?" Ye San didn't reply. He knew that this old friend who was not good at words was telling him some pros and cons that others didn't understand. After weighing them, , Song Li has a steelyard in his heart.
Song Li stood up and seemed to be discussing: "I'll take Ersan and leave." Not understanding why he said this, Ye Sangen raised his head and looked at this old friend who was actually demoted from the knife-catching job because of him. , puzzled: "What else?"
"Actually, Er San has been suffering particularly hard in the past few years." Unlike the lackluster way he spoke just now, Song Li's words made Ye San even more puzzled.
"I think the second and third girls in my family are excellent in all aspects except their background. The eldest sister of the Yue family will not dislike her for being a younger girl."
"Get lost." It was as if they were back at the age when they first met. The two eight or nine-year-old people were jumping up and down in the capital, playing and having fun, and kicking each other when they got up in the middle of the night.
Song Li chuckled and hid far away. He naturally knew that Ye San would not chase him up. There was no need to say goodbye. Song Li took a few more steps without stopping and heard a faint voice,
"I'll go back to the capital to find out who's behind the scenes." As he spoke, he leaned over and pulled out another piece of grass. He spit out the piece of grass in his mouth and picked it up again without looking back.
"Midnight, this is what my mother and I owe you, and I have to repay it for my mother. If, I mean if, this matter is really arranged by Jie Jiao, I will definitely do it. I know you can repay your kindness. I can't afford it, but I have to sacrifice my life for Jiejiao's love." Song Li left, and until her figure disappeared, she was still squatting on the ground in the middle of the night, chewing on the last eight words Song Li said before leaving.
"Wait for my news, don't die." After taking a long breath, he stood up in the middle of the night, stamped his slightly numb legs, and murmured with a wry smile: "This is what happened, Han Youyu appeared in Lixia The city, couldn't it be arranged by someone?"... When I returned to the government office in the middle of the night, before I even entered the door, I saw Er San sitting in the hall, dressed in white. The one he spoke to
"Teasing" women. Now the coarse linen clothes have been replaced by white gauze, and the dark skin has become as white and tender as snow. If it weren't for the similar facial features and the same figure, and already knew her true identity, I am afraid that even if I got closer, I wouldn't have guessed who it was. .
Seeing Ye Sangen coming back, Qi Moyan trotted forward and asked in a low voice: "Who is this woman?" Ye Sangen was surprised and said: "You don't know her?" It is said that those with strong chess skills have the best eyesight, Qi Moyan How could Ye Sangen not be surprised when he didn't recognize the other party's identity?
Qi Moyan shook his head blankly.
"Didn't you see who she was?" Qi Moyan still shook his head.
"It's not far away anyway." Qi Moyan added, which earned him a big eye roll in the middle of the night.
"She just arrived and said she recognized you." Qi Moyan started to whisper in the ear again in the middle of the night,
"She said she and a guy named Song were old acquaintances of you, and you and the guy named Song went out to deal with something. She also said that she and the guy named Song helped deal with the gang of thieves, and they were all tied up in a yard in the west of the city. Here, I have asked Captain Qin to bring someone over to check it out. She also said she wanted to settle an old score with you. "
"Settling accounts?" Ye Mingeng obviously didn't expect where this woman came from with such words.
"What kind of debt?" Qi Moyan followed up with a meaningful expression and said with a smile, "Did you cause some trouble outside?"
"Get out!" Ye San took another step and left Qi Moyan behind. Entering the hall, Ye San changed his words, but Er San stood up, smiled Qiao Qianqian, and said: "Brother Li, let's go."
"Yes." Ersan held the other long sleeve with one hand, and in full view of everyone, he turned around gracefully, gracefully, and said with a smile: "I changed into this outfit, doesn't it look good?" Obviously for the sentence just now about midnight,
"Teasing", Er San still remembered it in his mind, leaving Ye San at a loss for words and a little embarrassed. Ersan moved the lotus steps lightly, with a light posture, slowly walked towards the third watch of the night, and stood still three steps away.
"I guessed who you were as soon as you two left, right, late at night?" There was no need for the other party to answer. Ersan, a woman who can be said to be the most beautiful woman in the country, showed her picture of herself in the Jianglou in the capital without hesitation. Her beautiful face, which has never been shown to anyone, is full of smiles.
"Brother Li is not here. I have something to say to you. Do you want to hear it?" There is no need to answer at midnight, Ersan talks to himself.
"I don't care about your relationship with Brother Li, and I don't want to care about your reputation in our villain pit. But Brother Li was injured and almost died because of you three years ago, so I have to take care of it."
"Huh?" Ye Sangen frowned,
"you said…"
"Brother Li won't let me say it, but I'm not worth it for Brother Li." Ersan interrupted sternly, and his face that was always smiling suddenly became angry, but it only took an instant for him to become calm again, sentence by sentence, weigh every word.
"He helped you raid the Black Mountain, but do you know what happened next? Do you think those aristocratic families in the capital gave up their pursuit of you so easily? That they allowed you and your sister to leave the capital safely? Do you know what happened that night? Why did only two of the twelve pawns go? Do you think it was just a rabbit and a dog that arrived first? Do you think it was so easy for you to escape with your blind sister all the way in Gyeonggi Province after being seriously injured?" Ersan asked one after another. Asked, the eyebrows were furrowed one layer after another in the middle of the night.
"It snowed heavily that night. It was Brother Li who blocked the twelve horsemen at the south gate of the capital for an hour. It was only a rabbit and a dog that went around the east gate to find you."
"In the next ten days, it will be Brother Li who intercepts the chasing troops of several families on the official road for hundreds of miles, allowing your sister and brother to escape safely."
"How do you settle this account?" It wasn't a question, it was a scolding. I was even more stunned in the middle of the night. When the cold light suddenly appeared, the two people who were only three steps apart suddenly retreated and slid out three feet apart.
In the middle of the night, he raised his hand to stop the guards outside the hall who were about to come forward. He just looked at the red lines falling on Er San's left wrist and Mrs. Xu on his right hand.
"Four steps is a bit far. You can hide in three steps. I'll try two steps next time."
"The rice must be eaten and the accounts must be settled." Ersan passed by the third watch of the night.
"You must not die until I come to settle the debt." Ersan said.
"good."
