withered prosperity

After Murong Ji left, before he had time to speak, Yin Yutang was summoned to the palace.

The commander of the Gyeonggi Guard named Fu Bo politely said that since the two of them are involved, it is better not to go out for the time being, and the Gyeonggi Guard can also be responsible for personal safety.

When Yan Hai and Yun Ji returned to the house, the sky had turned pale.

"I……"

Yun Ji sat at the table and looked at him.

"I don't know who kidnapped Murong Yu." He settled down and sorted out his thoughts, but he didn't know where to start: "But that letter..."

"So, you know the person who wrote the letter asking you out." Yun Ji said with certainty.

Yan Hai nodded.

"This person just picked the right time to ask Murong Ji to hand over this letter to you? He doesn't necessarily have anything to do with the kidnapping of Murong Yu, he just deliberately stopped Murong Ji who was chasing him outside the Prison Division. It just made things more complicated."

Yan Hai looked at him in surprise.

"We were attacked twice before, and they were not the same group of people. Although they were all dead soldiers, they were very different." Yun Ji explained the reason for his guess: "For the first time, although those people were very skilled in martial arts, But the way of promoting qi and fighting is different. The second time is exactly the same in action and martial arts, so it must be a well-cultivated dead fighter."

As far as martial arts is concerned, Yun Ji is the current grand master, so of course he is not wrong to say so.

"If this is the case, then those people for the first time must have something to do with her." Yan Hai walked to the window and looked at the sky, which was mostly white: "She is best at puppet art, although it is only a trivial trick, there is something wrong with it." It’s a real headache at times.”

"What is the puppet technique? Although those people's qi movement is a bit slow, they are all flesh and blood."

"This kind of puppetry does not mean puppets made by puppet shows." Yan Hai roughly explained: "It uses drugs to control other people's minds, just like manipulating puppets, so it is called this name."

"You seem to know this man well?"

"Yeah! This is really one of the most troublesome things I can think of." Yan Hai seemed to have made up his mind, and said to Yun Ji: "Do you still remember that I told you that I have a junior sister, when I Is it because of being plotted against by her that she was injured and hid in Chaomu Pavilion?"

"Yueliu clothes."

"That's right, she wrote that letter. We grew up together, and I'm very familiar with her handwriting." He recognized at a glance that it was written by Yue Liuyi: "I didn't expect her to be hurt so badly back then. It's still alive..."

"Then why did she choose this time to hand over the letter to Murong Ji?"

"After so many years, she hasn't improved at all." Yan Hai sneered: "She must have tested it first, and thought she was not your opponent, so she came up with such a method, which can make me have to go to see her, and also You must be scruples, and you cannot easily fight her."

"Then what is the purpose of her meeting you?"

"Probably to make sure that I'm still alive, and... I really don't have any martial arts."

"But she must know some things." Yun Ji poured a glass of water from the table, stood up and handed it to him: "For example, she knew that someone would break into the prison officer at night and kidnap Murong Yu, and even It's quite possible to know who did it."

"In this way, even if I don't want to go, Murongji, who is eager to save people, won't allow me not to go." Yan Hai took the cup, but felt his hand was slightly warm, knowing that he had warmed it with internal force, he couldn't help laughing and said: " She has learned too much and too complicated, so martial arts can not be considered the best, but there are many tricks, if you face her, you should be more careful."

"Does it look good?"

"Ah?" Yan Hai was stunned for a moment before replying, "Yue Liuyi? It's ugly as hell!"

"That's good."

"What's the matter..." Yan Hai raised his cup and took a shallow sip.

The sun had already risen in the sky, and it was as warm as the glass of water in his hand.

On this day, there was no mention of the night appointment between the two of them, as if there was no such thing.

In the evening, Yin Yutang arrived first, followed by Murongji.

Yin Yutang's expression was dignified, while Murongji's expression could no longer be described as ugly.

Today, in order to prevent thieves from taking Murong Yu out of the city, only one gate was opened on all four sides of the city. The Gyeonggi Guards will strictly check the people who come and go.

Yin Yutang first asked him about his progress in the courtyard, but after knowing nothing, he could only talk about the emperor's concern and comfort him in vain.

Yan Hai was coming out of the kitchen with a plate of fried lotus root in his hand.

"Both of you don't need dinner!" He said to the two who were standing on the other side of the pond: "If you don't mind, just use some!"

Although Yin Yutang knew that he could cook on weekdays, this was the first time he saw it with his own eyes, and couldn't help but look him up and down, feeling very strange.

Murong Ji went into the flower hall without saying a word.

Yun Ji was sitting at the table, seeing the two of them coming in, his eyes turned cold.

Yan Hai put down the dishes and went back to the kitchen to get the bowls and chopsticks.

Murong sat down with great determination, he had changed into clean clothes at this moment, and the blood on his body had been wiped off, but his whole body was still full of evil spirit.

Yin Yutang followed suit, looked at the rich dishes on the table, and said quite deliberately: "I don't know where Mr. Xiao is so lucky to be able to taste this cooking."

"Qiu Lanyu is famous all over the world, where is the prince's blessing to be able to hide him in the deep boudoir of the palace, so that countless people who yearn for him cannot see each other?"

Yin Yutang's complexion changed, he didn't expect that the other party would talk about his weakness as soon as he opened his mouth, and he became more jealous of him.

Yan Hai came back with the bowls and chopsticks, and sat down at the table.

Each of the four occupies one side.

"My lord, eat the vegetables." Yan Hai picked up the chopsticks first, and while greeting Yin Yutang who had the highest status, he pinched the most tender eyes of the fish to Yun Ji.

Murong Ji snorted coldly, and wanted to overturn the table with his backhand, but Yun Ji stretched out his hand and pressed it, and the table didn't move at all. He kicked towards the table leg again, but Yun Ji stopped him halfway.

The two of you came and went under the table three or four times, but he was finally trampled by Yun Ji on both insteps, and he couldn't move anymore.

"My lord, eat more eggplant." Yan Hai greeted Yin Yutang again: "He doesn't like to eat it."

Yin Yutang was about to thank him, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he could only pick up some food and eat by himself.

But after entering the mouth, I think the taste is surprisingly good.

"Good craftsmanship." His sentence was different from the one praised above, and it was a little more sincere.

"Eat more." Yan Hai looked at Murong Ji again: "The prince should eat some too!"

"Who invited you?" Murong Ji looked at him with those bloodshot eyes.

"Yueliu clothes."

"puff!"

Yin Yutang sprayed it out, but luckily Yun Ji had already kicked his stool away before that, and made him go around the corner with the stool, so that the food on the table wasn't ruined.

"Who is Yueliuyi...?"

"My junior sister has always had a feud with me."

"I have a grudge against you, why did she arrest Murong Yu?"

"Prince of the county." Yan Hai also clamped the meat under the eyes of the other side to Yun Ji. "If you care about it, you will be chaotic."

Yin Yutang dragged his chair and sat back, eating food in silence.

"Since you are not messing around, just tell me."

"Someone broke into the jailer at night and kidnapped the princess, and then the prince chased him out. Suddenly, someone took a letter and asked the prince to hand it over to me..." Yan Hai gave Yun Ji a piece of lotus root. "But in that letter, the princess didn't actually mention it. It just asked me to meet tonight. Why would the princess think that the matter of the princess has something to do with me?"

"Naturally because..."

"Of course it's because the sender just happened to appear at this time and place, and delivered the letter to you who had just kidnapped your sister."

Murong Ji was thoughtful, Yin Yutang also stopped his chopsticks.

"The prince should be very clear about who my junior sister is!" Yan Hai suddenly looked at him: "The prince thinks, is this another trap set by Yue Liuyi?"

Yin Yutang cleared his throat, and nodded helplessly under the attention of the others.

"Yue Liuyi is obsessed with tricks. If it is her, it is very possible." He thought for a while and then said: "But she has not shown up for more than ten years, how could she suddenly appear in Shangjing? Is there any fraud in it?" ? Mr. Cuiwei, you have to be careful."

"I suffered a big loss in her hands, how could I not be careful?"

"Even if it's as you said, that Yue Liuyi should have known that someone would break into the prison officer at night, and then kidnap Murong Yu, and even knew where they were going to retreat, and then waited for me there, so she was definitely not Unrelated people, you...do you mean that?"

"So that's how it is." Yan Hai looked stunned: "I didn't think of that either, the county king appreciates it."

Murongji's lips twitched, but he didn't utter the curse words after all.

He suddenly felt that the upper of the shoe, which had been stepped on so tightly, was loose, and he quickly pulled his foot out.

Looking up again, that foreign martial arts expert from the West was lying on the table at some point.

"Mr. Xiao?" Yin Yutang watched him suddenly appear extremely sleepy, and then fell down on the table. "What's wrong with him?"

Yan Hai didn't speak, looked at Yun Ji lying there, and slowly put down his chopsticks.

"I just said, how are you going to dump him?" Murong Ji was not surprised at all, looked at him with a mocking face and said: "You put the medicine in the fish!"

"Huh?" Yin Yutang was still out of the situation, looking suspiciously at the two people who suddenly appeared in tacit understanding.

Yan Hai took out the blood-stained letter from his pocket.

He pulled out the letter and unfolded it.

There are only a few words on it, and it is clearly written: "Twelve years of separation are unforgettable. When tomorrow is ugly, I invite you to appreciate Bibo alone, and express my heart."
