Fostering apprentices

"Your Excellency, are you afraid that I won't be able to run away?" Yan Nan raised his eyebrows watching his actions.

If he used to run, he would definitely run, but now, he has to make sure of one thing, and he can't run even if he wants to.

The ghost-masked man smiled, but did not answer his question, and the two walked towards the town under umbrellas.

This is actually the first time Yan Nan came out in a real sense. His purpose is very simple, just to buy warm clothes.

When he entered the shop, he took a look at the materials around him. He was used to wearing Yunjin, but he rarely saw Chenjin in the Northland. He thought that little Achu should grow taller, and he would make some clothes for him. would not be suitable.

"Did the two gentlemen take a fancy to those cloths?" The shopkeeper walked over with a smile.

Yan Nan thought about Xiao Muchu whom he met some time ago, and he was much taller, but what if he grew taller again?

He was uncertain, so he suddenly looked at the ghost-faced man, pointed at him immediately and said, "Make a suit of clothes according to his figure."

"Just use Chen Jin. The workmanship must be good. The color doesn't need to be too fancy, just suit his body shape."

The ghost-faced man took advantage of the situation and walked to his side: "You make clothes for me?"

"No," Yan Nan firmly denied, he didn't have the time to make clothes for his enemy, he probably made shrouds.

He smiled, but this smile was not for the ghost-faced man: "I see that you are about the same size as my apprentice, and I will make him a suit."

"It's freezing cold, it's okay to keep my old bones cold, but little Achu absolutely can't."

The figure of the ghost-masked man froze for a moment, and there was a complicated stream of light in Yan Nan's eyes.

He was not annoyed at all, being used as a stand-in to measure the clothes, Yan Nan saw that he was still busy there, walked to the place where the finished products were sold, and chose a shawl.

Speaking of which, he is also hypocritical now, he can't be cold or hot, he is really suitable to be raised in a deep boudoir, maybe he was really a hypocritical young lady in his previous life.

It's just a wrong reincarnation in this life.

After measuring the clothes, he made an agreement with the shopkeeper to get the finished product in three days. Yan Nan expected from the beginning that the Ghost-Mask Man would stay here for a few days, so this time was enough for him.

At least, four days can wait for the person he wants.

The store waited for the two of them to go out, and the tailor opened the bank note that Yan Nan handed him just now, soaked it in water, and it took a while before the words were displayed.

"Quickly go and report to the emperor, the Second Young Master has been held hostage and cannot escape for the time being."

This place is in Mobei territory, Yan Nan had received that Tuoba Hao would lead the army passing by here before he came, so he did not stop running, but fortunately he had been to this store before, so the news was delivered so quickly.

I just hope he can find out the identity of the man in black before Tuoba Hao comes.

Back at the inn, the rain had subsided, and there were more and more guests coming and going. Yan Nan watched the man in black talking with the shopkeeper, and saw that he was holding a jade pendant in his hand.

That jade pendant is... a property of Dongyue Kingdom.

He was not mistaken, the jade pendant was indeed Dongyue's property, but how could the ghost-masked man be related to Dongyue if he had a connection with Xiqi?

Could it be that the sixth prince gave it to him?

No, no matter how important something is, it can't compare to the jade pendant that symbolizes status, and he has seen this jade pendant on Mu Cheng before. Every member of the royal family has it, but the patterns on each one are different.

Yan Nan thought that the pattern on the mask of the ghost mask was exactly the same as that on his jade pendant, so he can now be sure that this person is a member of the Dongyue royal family.

And also a prince.

But what he couldn't figure out was why he provoked the war between Mobei and Dongyue, and also handed over the imperial power to his brother.

Is there a bigger conspiracy behind this or something?

Yan Nan felt that the current situation was more and more out of his control, and it started to get out of control from the moment the ghost-faced man appeared, and he even couldn't see these things clearly.

At night, a burst of qin sounds slowly came out from the pavilion, with a little nostalgia, and a little bored with Zhan Luan. This is a song from Nanling, and it sounds a little desolate.The ghost-faced man leaned against the window, looked up at the moonlight in the night, the wine glass in his hand was out of wine, but he just stood there, as if he was thinking about something.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a person came in, also wearing a mask, and cupped his hands at the ghost-masked man, "Your Highness, it's been dealt with over there, and you can leave at any time."

"Have you found the antidote for Huichun San?" He asked lightly.

"The subordinates are incompetent. The person who gave the medicine back then is dead, and even their clansmen disappeared without a trace overnight."

The ghost-masked man sneered, his eyes full of sarcasm: "We have to find them even if we dig three feet into the ground."

He glanced at the black shadow following outside the window, and the smile on his face became more and more obvious: "Let's go tomorrow, and get the things on Yan Nan's body first."

He wanted to see where Yan Nan would make his next move, and it was a very pleasant thing to break his calmness.

Just before dawn, there was a faint sound of breathing in his ear, Yan Nan rolled over and put his hands on the side, then he sat up suddenly from the bed, looked at another person who suddenly appeared on the bed: "Why are you here?" on my bed?"

The ghost-masked man looked like he had just woken up, and the word sleepy was revealed all over his body, and half of his original sleepiness was dissipated by Yan Nan's mouthful.

He rubbed his temples and said, "Second Master Yan, you can see clearly, this is my room."

After looking around, the room is really different from his own room. He obviously didn't have a nightmare yesterday, so why did he end up in the room of the ghost-faced man?

But no matter what the reason was, he quickly put on his clothes and jumped off the bed, avoiding it like a snake or a scorpion as if he saw something unclean.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"I just want one thing." He was no longer vague, and said what was in his heart: "I heard that the second son has a handwritten letter from the former Emperor Dongyue in his hand. I guess it is useless for the second son to want this thing. How about it?" How about giving it to me?"

"In exchange, I can detoxify you, but not Huichunsan."

The purpose of his trip is very simple, it is to report the letter left by the former Emperor Dongyue according to his secret clues. At that time, Dongyue was defeated and the emperor killed himself on the city wall. But before that, he had met Yan Nan. There are some secrets about the position of the heir in the handbook and Dongyue.

All he wanted was the handbook.

Yan Nan was even more sure in his heart that this person was from Dongyue and also from the royal family, but he had no way of knowing which prince it was.

There are very few people who know about that matter. He secretly dealt with the few people who stayed in the tent back then, and only one old eunuch is still alive in this world, but his whereabouts cannot even be traced by himself. How did the ghost-faced man know?

Many questions surrounded Yan Nan, and then the ghost-masked man said, "Young Master Yan, you don't have any choice now, it's better to give Dongyue to me than to let Dongyue fall into the hands of the sixth prince."

Yan Nan said coldly, "Aren't you on the same side as the Sixth Prince?"

"It was indeed before." The ghost-masked man answered the question unambiguously. He slowly sat up from the bed, looked at Yan Nan and said, "Since you have guessed my identity, then the second son of Yan thinks that I will let a mediocre person ascend the throne." God?"

"Besides, the second son doesn't think about your apprentice's future. The sixth prince can't understand him, but I can guarantee everything he has now."

The current situation is that the Sixth Prince holds the power. It is easy to get another Sixth Prince, but this person in front of him is not easy to deal with?

In his eyes, the sixth prince is just a stepping stone for exploring the way, and when the way is over, his value will be gone.

Yan Nan stared closely at the ghost-masked man in front of him, and said, "Since it's a deal, why don't you tell me who you are?"

He has no way to deal with the ghost-faced man now, but he has a special sense of familiarity in the dark, from the first time he saw him.But he has no memory of this person at all in his memory, and he can't even find any matching character information.

As if it appeared out of thin air.

"Does it matter who I am?" asked the ghost-faced man.

"Naturally, I'm not used to hiding things from others."

The ghost-masked man let out a long sigh, but he didn't mean to tell him his true identity. He just clenched the things in his sleeves and finally said, "You can call me Changyue."

"I have a relative whose nickname is Changyue."

——It is the long moon of Nan Changyue.

He smiled, and approached Yan Nan: "Can you tell me the handbook now?"

Yan Nan opened his eyes wide, spread his hands innocently, shook his head and said, "It's definitely not in my hands now."

"Who did you give it to?" The ghost-masked man, who should be called Changyue now, suddenly snapped, it seemed that he was determined to get this handbook.

But after seeing Yan Nan frowning displeasedly, he also realized his gaffe, restrained his hostility, and gradually showed a smile on his face: "Who did you give the hand to?"

"I didn't give it to anyone. It's still here with me." Yan Nan said truthfully, and he didn't lie, but it's true that the handwriting is not with him now, and he might have to go back to Nanling if he wants to take it out.

"I just hope you keep your word. If anything happens to Ah Chu in the future, I will never let you go." After finishing speaking, he threw a key to Changyue: "There is a tomb in Nanling General Mountain, and there is a tomb in it that you want. something you want."

The gleaming key fell into Changyue's hands, a little surprise flashed in his eyes, he probably didn't expect things to go so smoothly.

In other words, Yan Nan would care so much about his little apprentice.

"It's time for me to fulfill my promise..." The promise in his mouth included unraveling the poison he had given Yan Nan.

"Forget you..." Yan Nan just wanted to say that you still have a conscience, but the back of his neck throbbed again, and his eyes went black and he fell into Changyue's arms with a plop.

Before he fainted, he really wanted to yell: Can you not specialize in one place after knocking out!
