【Kuan Xin】Snake and Venom

"By the way, what did you tell Brother An?" Zhao Jian asked while pinching chicken legs for Xiaojing.

Yuan Zhongxin made a long story short, roughly recounting what happened this morning.

Xue Ying asked: "So, we need to find time to go to Tong'an Town?"

Wang Kuan nodded: "We have found almost all the clues in Kaifeng, so we can only go to Tong'an Town to try our luck."

Zhao Jian: "Then when shall we set off?"

Yuan Zhongxin swallowed a mouthful of food, thought for a moment, and then said lightly: "Two days later, Chang Yi probably has noticed the strangeness of the clues, and maybe someone will secretly watch us. After these two days, Chang Yi's vigilance is slowly lowered, and we will leave Kaifeng again."

Xiaojing said thoughtfully: "Then should we ask Lu Zhangyuan for help, saying that there is a new task for us, and we have to go out of Kaifeng?"

There was a flash of light in Yuan Zhongxin's eyes, and he did not immediately veto Xiao Jing's proposal: "Let's go out more in the past two days, pay attention to the surroundings, and if the situation is not ideal, then go to Lu Guannian to discuss it."

The other five nodded in agreement.

Wei Yanei asked curiously: "Yuan Zhongxin, why didn't you tell Lin Liang about Sister Suyi?"

Yuan Zhongxin glanced at him angrily, stretched out a bowl to take the green vegetables that Wang Kuan had brought, and explained: "In An Lijiu's current situation, the less people know his hiding place, the safer it is. I'm afraid of Lin Liang. One was impatient and ran to Xiyuan to look for An Lijiu carelessly, if he got noticed then, the consequences would be disastrous."

Wei Yanei was still puzzled: "Then you just tell him, won't it be enough if you don't know that woman?"

At this time, Yuan Zhongxin was eating food and couldn't answer Wei Yanei's question. Wang Kuan then said, "For Sister Suyi, whether we explain it too lightly or too seriously, it will arouse Lin Liang's suspicion. If so, Lin Liang will definitely investigate by himself, and none of us can guarantee what he can find out—and what Yuan Zhongxin said just now gave Lin Liang a result and dispelled his doubts, and the effect was just right."

Hearing this, Wei Yanei suddenly realized, and looked at Yuan Zhongxin with a little more admiration. He already knew Yuan Zhongxin's exquisite face and nine-pointed heart, and now he admires Yuan Zhongxin even more.

Yuan Zhongxin said: "By the way, we still have to reduce the number of times we go to Xiyuan in the past few days. There are poppis guarding around Xiyuan. There shouldn't be too many problems. If you have anything to say or something you want Those who brought it to An Lijiu, just go to them directly."

After lunch, Yuan Zhongxin slipped into the backyard to find someone else. He was busy dealing with An Lijiu's affairs recently, so he couldn't concentrate on spending time with these two silly dogs.

Wang Kuan came to him after packing up the bowls and chopsticks, and found that Ban Jinbaliang and Yuan Zhongxin were having a good time. As soon as he approached, Ban Jin immediately pounced on him, grinning, so excited that Wang Kuan said He smiled and touched its head, but turned his gaze to Yuan Zhongxin: "Do you think there is something wrong with Lin Liang?"

Yuan Zhongxin paused, and looked at Wang Kuan suspiciously: "How to say?"

Wang Kuan pursed his lips and smiled, and replied, "Intuition."

Yuan Zhongxin raised his eyebrows, and said indifferently: "I really feel something is wrong with him—but I don't understand, where does Lin Liang stand?"

If Lin Liang really wanted to help An Lijiu, Yuan Zhongxin was understandable, even though he had concealed something from him, it was for the sake of the overall situation.

But if Lin Liang did it to deal with An Lijiu, what was his intention?Is it a business competition?The Lin family and the An family, a cloth merchant and a rice merchant, have nothing to do with each other. What's more, Anlijiu has already been expelled from the Anjia. What's the use of targeting Anlijiu?

Or did Lin Liang collude with the Imperial Army?

Yuan Zhongxin deeply felt that the latter was almost impossible.

He sighed, leaning his upper body on Baliang's thick back, his expression unclear: "Besides, even if Lin Liang really had a problem, he hasn't made any trouble until now, has he?"

Wang Kuan secretly said: "In short, it is necessary to be on guard against others. Anli's grievances have not been washed away in nine days. It is better for us not to involve too many people in."

Yuan Zhongxin responded with a low "Yes", he raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, his expression was a little tired.

There was deep pity in Wang Kuan's eyes. He knew that Yuan Zhongxin hadn't had a good rest in the past few days. After midnight, he was still thinking about An Lijiu's affairs. In the eyes of outsiders, his hippie smiling face was alive and kicking, and he didn't know how real he was. Walking to Yuan Zhongxin's side, gently hugged him into his arms, and said in a low voice: "Don't hold on, sleep for a while."

Yuan Zhongxin didn't resist, he had unconsciously accepted any touch from Wang Kuan to him from the bottom of his heart, closed his eyes, and muttered: "I'll just sleep for a stick of incense, remember to call me."

Wang Kuan let him lean on his shoulder, nodded and agreed, "Okay."

Seeing that Yuan Zhongxin was asleep, they, who are proficient in human nature, obediently lay down around the two of them, warmed Yuan Zhongxin who was asleep with their own body temperature, and began to close their eyes and rest their minds.

Wei Yanei held a small apple in his mouth, and was about to walk to the backyard, but was stopped by Xue Ying, and Wei Yanei asked in bewilderment, "What's wrong?"

Xue Ying made a gesture of silence, and pointed to a big tree in the sky.

Wei Yanei looked in his direction, and was slightly stunned for a moment.

The two leaned against each other, one closed his eyes, sleeping soundly, the other opened his eyes, meditating silently, except for the faint low sound of the cool wind, everything was silent, needles could be heard, even the natural sounds did not want to disturb them clean.

In the world, there is always a pair of people who can make a pair, can be more beautiful than the magnificent mountains and rivers, can be compared to the Guanghan Immortal Palace, and can win the beauty of the world. There is no other but each other, and they are already the best scenery in the world.

In the past two days, the six people from Qizhai took turns to wander around the street, but they rarely found anything wrong with the personnel. On the contrary, they encountered Chang Yi and the imperial guards on the street several times, probably because of the fact that An Lijiu escaped from prison. It was too serious, and the Privy Council of the imperial court sent an official to assist in the investigation of the matter. Chang Yi didn't have much time to distract and find fault.

This is a good thing for Yuan Zhongxin and the others, because the night before they were about to leave for Tong'an Town, Sister Suyi asked someone to send an invitation letter, saying that she wanted to invite six people to eat in Xiyuan. A meal is regarded as a thank you to them.

That night, the six of them entered Xiyuan in a low-key manner. As soon as they entered the backyard, they saw An Lijiu already eating with chopsticks.

For some reason, when he saw An Lijiu, Yuan Zhongxin couldn't stop wanting to scold him quickly, he raised his eyebrows: "Didn't someone say that this meal is a thank you gift, why did you eat it first?" up?"

An Lijiu paused, and replied shamelessly: "I didn't say what Su Yi said."

Yuan Zhongxin gritted his teeth secretly: "But I haven't seen you for two days, Brother An's shameless skills have grown again."

An Lijiu smiled openly: "Hey, hey, each other."

Wei Yanei persuaded and said: "Oh, why do you two love bickering when you meet each other? If you don't know, you may think that you have a grudge in your previous life and you will pay it back in this life."

Yuan Zhongxin crossed his arms: "Even if it's an enmity, he owes me."

An Lijiu raised her eyebrows: "Why, didn't you save me a few days ago? I owe you, why are you saving me?"

Yuan Zhongxin was so angry that his chest was tight and depressed, and he even coughed a few times.

Wang Kuan at the side quickly pulled him to sit down and asked him to drink more water.

Su Yi came out with the last pot of fish soup, and with a smile on her face, she beckoned the six people to sit down.

An Lijiu asked quite curiously: "Are you really planning to leave for Tong'an Town tomorrow?"

All six nodded.

"Then all six of you are going?"

Wang Kuan shook his head, and replied: "We plan to keep Xue Ying, Zhao Jian and Xiao Jing in the Secret Pavilion, Yuan Zhongxin, and Wei Yanei to go to Tong'an Town."

An Lijiu said, "I advise you to go with all six of you."

Yuan Zhongxin asked, "Why?"

"Although Tong'an Town is not big, there are many black market sellers and buyers in the vicinity who trade with buyers. The six of them passed by and it was easier to take care of them."

Yuan Zhongxin was quite puzzled. When did the black market open near Tong'an Town? Why didn't he hear the old thief mention it?

But since even An Lijiu, who is familiar with Tong'an Town, said so, it's not a bad thing for the six of them to set off together. After all, Riyi has been so busy these days that he doesn't have much time to take care of Yuan Zhongxin and others.

An Lijiu continued: "My real estate is located on the border of Tong'an Town. I don't remember exactly which street it is in. You just need to remember that there are two gourds painted on the gatehouse. It is not difficult to identify .”

Su Yi was worried, and told the six of them: "You must put your own safety first in everything. If there is any danger, don't investigate any further and come back immediately, you understand?"

Xiaojing nodded with a smile and said, "Sister Suyi, don't worry, we will pay attention to safety."

After a meal, the eight of them were talking and laughing, and the occasional bickering between Yuan Zhongxin and An Lijiu made the other six people dumbfounded.

While the others were busy helping Suyi clean up the dishes, Wang Kuan and An Lijiu stayed in the backyard to help clean up the garbage on the floor. After sweeping, An Lijiu suddenly said, "Your name is Wang Kuan?"

Wang Kuan looked back and found that An Lijiu was staring at him deeply, and he nodded: "Yes."

An Lijiu smiled: "That's right, the son of Wang Canzheng, it seems that you are the only one who can control Yuan Zhongxin, right?"

Wang Kuan froze for a moment, unable to think about the meaning of Qing Anli's nine words.

An Lijiu sighed secretly, and said: "Yuan Zhongxin's temper is too rebellious, you must watch him more in the future."

Wang Kuan suddenly nodded solemnly: "I will."

An Lijiu stared at him for a long time with an unclear expression, and suddenly raised his eyes to look at the kitchen room. In order to facilitate entry and exit, the curtain was lifted by Su Yi and hung up. He could vaguely see Yuan Zhongxin's lively figure, and said meaningfully: " You have to do what you say, be optimistic about him, Yuan Zhongxin's temperament..."

An Lijiu's voice was very soft, Wang Kuan heard it in a daze, as if he heard four words in a daze.

Etiquette is intolerable.
