Xie Yan's phoenix eyes sank, and she keenly felt Gu Ning's changes.

"What's wrong?" He gently grabbed Gu Ning's shoulders and poured Gu Ning into his arms.

The night in Yuezhou was very windy and frosty, Xie Yan was wearing a cloak, covering Gu Ning's whole body under the cloak, his eyes were full of worry.

Gu Ning was still fine just now, why did he suddenly change his face?

He hugged Gu Ning and felt the chill emanating from Gu Ning.

At this moment, Xie Yan's eyes have completely changed.

In just a few short sentences, which sentence made Ning'er change so much?

But when he was about to get a glimpse of Gu Ning's expression, Gu Ning had already lowered his head and buried it in his arms without saying a word.

"It's okay." Gu Ning's voice was muffled, and his mood was very low.

Seeing this, Xie Yan saw a haze in his eyes.

But Gu Ning made it clear that he didn't want to say more. He wanted to ask, but he had to worry about Gu Ning's mood at the moment.

For a moment, Xie Yan's expression turned extremely pale.

Yue Rong caught a glimpse of his appearance, and hurriedly led the people away, lest he would unknowingly offend Xie Yan.

Xie Yan picked up Gu Ning and walked down the tower slowly.

And Gu Ning buried his head in Xie Yan's arms, his brain was in a mess.

For her, the most important thing now is not what happened to Qinzhou or the Xiongnu, but the enemies hidden in the dark.

Who exactly?Which family is it?

Gu Ning squeezed his hands tightly, his eyes gradually became firm.

No matter who it is, she will never admit defeat!She can remove the threat from Gu Qingqiu and Chu Yunyi, and naturally she can also remove the threat from these aristocratic families!

Even if the aristocratic families are criss-crossed, she can help Xie Yan find a breakthrough!

In the final analysis, isn't the aristocratic family a combination of interests?

Thinking of this, Gu Ning's eyes became sharper. She raised her head and saw Xie Yan's chin like a knife. She took Xie Yan's arm and leaned against Xie Yan's arms, her whole body relaxed.

"I found something."

Gu Ning's muffled voice came out, Xie Yan raised his eyebrows, he didn't expect Gu Ning to speak at this time.

And Gu Ning raised his eyes and stared at him closely: "Since those aristocratic families chose Ouyang Wen, they must want to get rid of you, but Ouyang Wen only has a few hundred people under his command, how can they be confident?"

"I think they have other plans." Gu Ning whispered, "You are so smart, don't you know who is the family who secretly plotted against you?"

Xie Yan lowered his eyes and stared at Gu Ning.

The eyes of the two intersected, and Xie Yan sighed lightly: "Sure enough, I can't hide anything from you, Ning'er."

"I do have objects of suspicion, one is the Xu family and the other is the Lei family."

"Lei family?" Gu Ning heard this family for the first time, "Isn't the Lei family a family from the capital?"

"The Lei family is the largest aristocratic family in Shu, and it was also the biggest supporter of my second uncle when he was in Shu. The head of the Lei family has already retired, but the younger generations of the Lei family are all serving in the army and have made a lot of contributions."

Gu Ning only heard a thump in his heart: "In the army? We go to Qinzhou this time, and they also have their share?"

"There are three captains who are all descendants of the Lei family."

Xie Yan's answer made Gu Ning affirm his inner guess even more.

Her eyes became cold and severe: "These people are weird!"

The Xu family has always had a good reputation among the civil servants, and has nothing to do with the army - the Xu family doesn't look down on warriors, and generals don't look down on sour literati.

Since Xie Yan was poisoned during the expedition, the only ones who could get close were those in the army.

People in the army are also the main force to help Xie Yan get revenge, and are deeply trusted by Xie Yan and the people around him. Isn't this the Lei family?

The more Gu Ning thought about it, the more certain she became. She hugged Xie Yan's neck with a very solemn expression: "I think the Lei family wants to harm you!"

"The aristocratic family is the smartest. It is impossible for them to pin all their hopes on Ouyang Wen alone. I think they are very likely to use other tricks to deal with you, such as poisoning!"

"Shu is mountainous, and there are many witches living there. They may have obtained powerful poison from the witches, waiting for you to let your guard down and give you a fatal blow!"

"Who would doubt a family that has helped you avenge you since your infancy?"

When Gu Ning spoke, anger was dancing in her beautiful eyes, and the flame in her heart was burning more and more vigorously, and it had reached its peak.

Her small face was tense, and she was unprecedentedly serious.

Xie Yan seemed to have seen Gu Ning who rushed over angrily when he knew that Gu Qingqiu was going to poison him that day.

"Did you hear that?"

Seeing that Xie Yan's eyes were focused on her, Gu Ning was a little excited. She angrily pinched the soft flesh on Xie Yan's waist.

"what are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking..." Xie Yan lowered his eyes and looked at Gu Ning, his eyes were full of smiles, "Ning'er is the cutest when she cares about me."

Hearing this, Gu Ning's face flushed red.

"When you're so serious, that's all you have in mind?" Gu Ning rolled his eyes angrily, "Did you take my words to heart?"

"If you die, I won't be your widow! I want to make a big yard full of men!"

Xie Yan's face darkened: "Ning'er..."

His voice was also extremely cold.

Even though he knew that Gu Ning was joking, he still couldn't help the jealousy in his heart. He couldn't imagine that Gu Ning would be with other men.

He pressed Gu Ning into his arms, very hard.

"Don't leave me." Xie Yan said coldly, "Even if you say it, you can't do it."

Gu Ning pushed him away subconsciously: "What about you? Since you don't want me to raise a male pet, you should be showing off, right?"

"Do you want to deal with the matter of Lei's family?"

"Deal with it." Xie Yan responded immediately, "But there is no evidence now, if Lei's family is disturbed, I'm afraid it will chill the hearts of other ministers."

"Then you have to transfer these people away from your side." Gu Ning said displeased, "You can't keep threats by your side, they are not easy to deal with."

The Lei family poisoned Xie Yan, but even Doctor Zhou was helpless.

Thinking of this, Gu Ning's pretty eyebrows frowned.

"We still have to be careful." She emphasized again, "People from the Lei family must never get close to you."

"Okay, okay." Xie Yan shook his head helplessly, "When did I not do what you told me? But no matter what you do, you have to wait until the Huns are driven back."

"As for the Lei family..." Xie Yan pondered for a moment, his eyes darkened, "I'll let Yue Rong keep an eye on them, and once they make a move, I'll know immediately."

"I'll help you too." Gu Ning's eyes widened, "Don't worry!"

After saying this to Xie Yan, she told the system: "Did you hear that?"

"I heard." What else can the system do?It can only obey the host's orders.
