Chapter 40
Yan Ji savored these words carefully, and the more he thought about it, the more shocked he became: "What do you mean is someone plotting against Nanyuan? Isn't there something else about governor Xu's injury?"
Yan Er nodded: "I heard that Fang Yi was Xu Huan's son-in-law, and there must be a reason for suddenly dying. If you think about it carefully, those who can attack Xu Huan must be close to you."
In just one sentence, the murderous intent contained in it was shocking. Yan Ji was sweating coldly and immediately said, "Young Master, let's go quickly, it's too dangerous here."
Yan Er looked indifferent and said, "Yongcheng is ten times more dangerous than here. Is it meaningful to escape?"
"..." Hearing him say this, Yan Ji wanted to slap himself.
Why did he listen to the young master's deception? I believe this time I went out to find out the news? I told him halfway through and I was going to Yongcheng.
Where is Yongcheng? The governor was changed every year, and the people from the court were assassinated halfway before they arrived.
And it is not like other places, and it has always been occupied by local snakes. Although the court cannot control it, its power is stable. Yongcheng is the one who has just finished singing and I will appear, and from time to time, it will change the person in charge.
In this way, the young master took the initiative to come up and said that Wu Zijing would definitely want to seize the Yongcheng sacrifice flag and see what happened.
Look at it, it is obvious that I want to kill someone and sacrifice the flag.
Since he knew the real purpose, Yan Ji had nightmares every day. The young master accidentally lost his horse before, so he was so happy that he finally didn't have to go to Yongcheng to die.
But Yan Er also said, "You want to leave quickly, so let's go to Yongcheng now?"
Yan Ji immediately changed his words: "No, no, no, young master, please stay. Xu Renhou, it's really hateful that someone is trying to plot against his life! Young master must stay and uphold justice for them!"
Hearing his indignant look, Yan Er couldn't help laughing.
"Why do I need to uphold justice? The Xu family is so powerful. A 14-year-old girl in charge can do it well. Fang Yi died without any storms, I am afraid that the bandits arrested last night will also be related to this matter."
Yan Ji took a breath and asked nervously: "Young Master, do you mean that those bandits last night might be the people who plotted against Nanyuan? What should I do? You killed those people! Aren't we also involved?"
Yan Er looked indifferent: "What are you afraid of? This man is sneaky and dares to send me some details and not show his name. It would be shameful. What should I be afraid of?"
Yan Jixin said, of course you are not afraid, anyway, there will be a master who will take care of it if you cause trouble! There is a wife under the master, and a eldest son under the wife... The second brother can be so willful.
Yan Er stretched out his hands and feet and lay back: "My father was worried about the chaos in Yongcheng, but he was afraid that something would happen in Nanyuan. Nanyuan connects to Daliang, Dongjiang and Guanzhong. If it falls into the hands of Wu Zijing or Li, we will sleep on the side of our bed. So, the key is Nanyuan."
Yan Ji asked: "Then do we need to take Nanyuan first?"
"Of course not." Yan Er said, "As long as Nanyuan is not in chaos and is still in the hands of Xu, we can't move."
"Why?" Yan Ji was puzzled.
"Some things still have to be particular. If you don't care about them now, it will be too late in the future."
Yan Ji seemed to understand, but he couldn't lose his justice like Wu Zijing? He didn't know so much, anyway, what the young master said, right!
Lying on the bed and thinking for a while, Yan Ji suddenly had an inspiration: "In fact, there is a way to get Nanyuan without bloodshed."
"What?" Yan Er asked casually.
"Isn't Xu Huan without a son? You said again, the mansion in charge is Miss Xu San. Then if you marry Miss Xu San, will Nanyuan become ours?"
Yan Er was choked by saliva and coughed continuously. Fortunately, the guard was asleep and did not wake up.
Yan Ji was very proud: "Young Master, are you saying this idea very good? You don't have to do it, but it's what you want."
"What are you talking about?" Yan Er raised his hand and fanned the air, feeling that the weather in Nanyuan was indeed a bit hot, "Why is it as I wish?"
Yan Ji raised her body and blinked her eyes at him: "Isn't it? Otherwise, why would you go peeping at someone in the middle of the night?"
"I'm asking for information..."
Yan Ji looked like you didn't need to explain: "If you find out the news, you can find out the news, and you can also peek at the lady..."
Unable to explain clearly, Yan Er covered his face with depression: "Forget it, just say whatever you want!"
Yan Ji thought he had agreed and said with a smile: "It is said that the Xu family's two beauties are beautiful, and this rumor is true. Miss Xu San is brave and you are not in vain to be with the young master! In this way, the wife doesn't have to worry about the young master's marriage. Oh, she won't be very fierce to the servants, right? Will I be scolded more in the future?"
Seeing that he had begun to imagine the future, Yan Er rolled his eyes and decided to go to bed.
...
Xu Yin entered Qushui Pavilion and saw that his sister was still waiting for her.
"I'm back? The water is ready, go and wash." Xu Si looked up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that she was fine.
"Sister, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Xu Si was half complaining and half worried: "How can I sleep if you don't come back? My father was not like you before, and he went out in the middle of the night!"
Xu Yin smiled and said, "There is still a little tail to be handled cleanly, so I won't need it in the future."
Xu Si nodded and found that she was very adaptable to her sister's changes.
Thinking about it, things are really impermanent. She used to take care of her sister, but she didn't expect that she suddenly had a big change and her sister who only knew how to make trouble grew up to protect her.
"By the way, sister, if the princess or two county lords come to you next, remember not to meet you." Xu Yin explained.
Xu Si was puzzled: "Why?"
Xu Yin smiled at her: "The Prince of Nan'an was detained by me in Mingde Tower."
Xu Si was shocked: "What? You..." She slowly recalled her taste and showed an angry expression, "Did the Prince's Mansion interfere with Fang Yi's affairs?"
Xu Yin nodded: "When my father wakes up, I will deal with him."
Xu Si naturally would not have any objection and told her about her father's condition.
"... My father is getting better day by day. His fingers are moving all the time today. I really hope he can wake up soon."
Xu Yin responded with a smile: "It's OK."
As the two sisters were talking, a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside, as if they were pounding a drum.
Xu Yin's heart was thrilled, and he couldn't help but think of the night he just came back.
Xu Si also stopped moving and listened quietly to the movement outside.
The old lady on duty went to meet the door, and then the panicked footsteps came here, exactly the same as that night.
