Pokémon: Legend of the Rockies

At night, in the palace, the emperor's bedroom.

A group of maids were combing the hair of an extraordinary and graceful empress. A eunuch came in outside the door, knelt on the ground, and said sharply:

"Report to Your Majesty, Di Renjie, Minister of Dali Temple, asks to see you."

The empress waved her hand, signaling the maids to step back, and the eunuch understood what the empress meant, then got up and trotted out of the dormitory.

Not long after, a handsome middle-aged man walked into the house respectfully:
"I pay respects to Your Majesty."

This man is really the famous detective Di Renjie in history, and the empress in front of him is Wu Zetian, the current saint.

"Di Renjie, there are only you and me here, so there is no need to be polite."

Then, Wu Zetian passed out a comb inlaid with emerald agate:
"Help me finish my hair."

Di Renjie took the comb as usual, and then combed his hair behind Wu Zetian's back. In fact, the relationship between the two has always been ambiguous. They are neither husband and wife, nor master and servant.

The two had known each other since Wu Zetian was just a court lady, until Wu Zetian took the position today.

"How's the investigation going?"

Wu Zetian wiped off the rouge from her mouth with moistened suet paper, and asked lightly, while Di Renjie frowned and replied:
"After many investigations, I found out that Li Yan is not from the Li family, but just happens to be named Li."

"In addition, his identity is extremely mysterious, and his source cannot be traced at all."

"According to the informant's report, Li Yan was originally a strong man captured in Wangjia Village in the south of the Yangtze River. He bribed a non-commissioned officer, changed his identity, and came to the capital. Wangjia Village doesn't know about Li Yan's life experience, but he found it by chance in the foggy forest."

"Currently, Li Yan doesn't have any malice towards the Holy Spirit. From other people's dictation, Li Yan seems to be here for fun, and that big human-shaped monster only showed its feet during the selection of monster hunters. It is usually different from ordinary people."

"The woman next to him is also mysterious, she is husband and wife with Li Yan, they may come from the same place."

After Di Renjie combed his hair, Wu Zetian stood up with a heavy face, walked to the window, and looked at the bright moon:
"Hey, although I am a person with a foreign surname, I have no second thoughts about the Great Tang Dynasty. Why does the old man always play tricks on me?"

"Demons are rampant, internal and external troubles, and now there is an unidentified powerful demon catcher. As the king of a country, I have no one around me."

Seeing this, Di Renjie said a few words of comfort, but he didn't expect Wu Zetian to turn his head and bury him in Di Renjie's arms, which made him jump!

Wu Zetian just hugged Di Renjie like this, which seemed to calm his flustered heart, and they separated soon after. Even though Di Renjie was over half a hundred years old, he still couldn't help feeling excited.

It's just because Wu Zetian is really gorgeous and charming, but Di Renjie knows very well that he is a minister and she is a monarch, and the two are just a relationship between monarch and minister, nothing more.

"Continue to keep an eye on him. I will personally interrogate him after the final monster catcher assessment. If he really has no intention of treason, he can be regarded as a good talent. Pulling her into my banner is also a good choice."

As soon as Di Renjie bowed, he exited Wu Zetian's bedroom. Before leaving, Di Renjie suddenly remembered:

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Princess Zhou Xia met Li Yan by chance today, and the two seem to have communicated."

Wu Zetian was shocked!
"What! Is Xia'er busy?"

Di Renjie comforted Wu Zetian:
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Princess Zhou Xia is not abnormal, but I feel that I need to inform Your Majesty about this matter, so I opened my mouth."

Wu Zetian rubbed her head and waved her hands:
"Okay, I understand, you go down."

At this point, Di Renjie left the dormitory, and the night ended like this.

The next day, today was the last day of catching and training monsters, and there was going to be a competition tomorrow, but Li Yan didn't panic at all, took Chu Siyi and Xueying Doll, hired a few guys with money, and moved all the clothes from the inn to the small courtyard that had been prepared.

Then let people go to the carpenter's shop to fetch the furniture customized by Li Yan. After a whole morning's work, the small courtyard can finally be used for people.

Hang the word "Li Yard" on the door, and this small courtyard is officially owned by Li Yan.

The small courtyard covers an area of ​​577 square meters and is divided into three buildings in total. One is the kitchen and servants' accommodation, and the remaining two are guest rooms. Li Yan and Chu Siyi live in the largest main house.

There are only Li Yan and Chu Siyi in this huge small courtyard, which is a bit boring, so Li Yan released all the Pokémon, and the courtyard can be regarded as a bit popular.

The compound must have two servants, otherwise just cleaning would be exhausting. Chu Siyi went out to buy vegetables, while Li Yan was tinkering with pots and pans in the kitchen. In ancient times, he hadn't eaten a decent meal yet, so he decided to make one himself.

The seasonings in the Tang Dynasty were much richer than before, but for modern people, they were still not enough. Li Yan was in tears, and bought a lot of seasonings from the system space, spending 200 points, just to have a good meal.

After a while, Chu Siyi came back. What Li Yan didn't expect was that Chu Siyi brought back a dirty child-like person.

"Chu Siyi, this..."

Chu Siyi said embarrassedly:
"Li Yan, I'm sorry, I couldn't hold back and brought it back..."

Chu Siyi and Li Yan explained the ins and outs of the matter. It turned out that the child was captured and sold in the capital by human traffickers. He just sneaked out and was discovered by traffickers and beat him up in the street.

Chu Siyi couldn't stand it anymore, so she spent money to buy this child. Li Yan looked at this disheveled child, and estimated that he was only 14 or 5 years old, which was considered an adult in ancient times.

Li Yan sighed, pinched Chu Siyi's little face, since she bought him too, so let it go.

"What's your name?"

The boy rubbed his hands, it seemed to be in pain, Li Yan secretly used healing magic to heal him when he saw this, the little boy was taken aback, and then reacted:

"Master, I...my name is Zhu Erniu."

Li Yan rubbed his chin, the surname Zhu is quite rare:
"From now on, you are the servant of Li Yuan. Now go to the bathroom and wash yourself. I will ask someone to send your clothes to you. After washing, come to the kitchen for dinner."

Zhu Erniu nodded, and then walked towards the place Li Yan pointed at. Li Yan finished the dishes, and then gave Chu Siyi some money to buy some clothes for Zhu Erniu.

Chu Siyi smiled slightly, and left, Li Yan also started to cook his own specialty meals.
