Rebellious officials bow their heads

The face was hidden under the fluttering white veil, and it wasn't really seen. Ji Han grabbed the man, and then went to take off the veil on his head without any explanation, but the other party raised his hand to block him, stopping his movement.

Ji Han narrowed his eyes, and said gloomily, "Are you..."

The two confronted each other in the middle of the hall, and the guests all looked at them. Chen Shilang next to him was confused, and said awkwardly: "Master Ji, do you know this person?"

Ji Han didn't look at him, but turned to the guards on both sides of the door, and said coldly, "Come here—"

Ye Liuzhou's nerves tensed, and all escape methods were interrupted. If he was caught here, Ji Han would definitely discover his identity, and then he would be imprisoned in the palace again.

The guard walked in his direction. Ye Liuzhou could feel Ji Han's uncertain gaze sizing him up, and the palms under his sleeves were sweating slightly. At this moment, a cold voice sounded behind his ears, "Ji Shou Fu, what are you doing with my people?"

Xu Yan turned out from the front of the main hall. He was tall and stern, and countless eyes fell on him. The guard stopped hesitantly, and he strode forward, raising his hand to pull Ye Liuzhou to the side, At the same time, he raised Senhan's eyes one inch and landed on Ji Han.

Ji Han didn't expect that someone would dare to obstruct him, and he still held onto Ye Liuzhou's wrist, his brows were furrowed, and he looked at Xu Yan sullenly.

Both of them had sharp knives in their eyes, the hall was extremely quiet, Ye Liuzhou didn't know how to react, so he could only keep his original state and stand in the middle.

Ji Han stared at Xu Yan for a moment and said, "Ji Liu? Grandfather recruited you?"

Xu Yan said mercilessly: "Let go."

Ji Han smiled coldly: "Now do you know who you are talking to?"

"Can't you hear who I'm talking to?" Xu Yan repeated impatiently, "Let go."

Chen Shilang, who was at close range, immediately trembled with fear when he heard the words.

Ji Han was at the pinnacle of power, and all the officials he dealt with were cautious about his words and deeds. It had been a long time since he had encountered such a person who went straight to the point without looking at his face. Immediately, the veins on his forehead burst out, and his anger rose in his chest.

Before he had time to attack, a group of dignitaries and clan disciples poured in from outside the hall, and greeted Ji Han one after another.

Naturally, he couldn't do anything demeaning under the watchful eyes of the public, so he could only stare at Ye Liuzhou slowly let go of his hand, then swept Xu Yan with a sinister look, implying that Liang Zijie had finished, and turned to face the crowd.

Xu Yan didn't take it seriously at all, looked at Ye Liuzhou and said in a low voice, "What's going on? You can't see what you're walking around? Why aren't you waiting for me in the side hall?"

Ye Liuzhou didn't respond to him for a long time, just followed him to a corner and sat down in a daze.

Xu Yan poured him a cup of tea, but he didn't drink it, still dazed.

But after a while, the old lady Ji came in among the crowd, the crowd gathered, the congratulations came one after another, the maids brought delicacies like flowing water, and the birthday banquet began between cups and toasts.

Ye Liuzhou's focus slowly returned to his senses, and he heard Xu Yan asking beside him, "What are you still wearing a veiled hat for?"

The two sat at the back, even if they were wearing a veiled cap, they were not very noticeable, he replied vaguely: "There is no need to take it off."

Then he lowered his voice and could hear the regret inside: "Why didn't you say that you are from Ji's family?"

"That's not important. I haven't been with them for more than ten years, and I'm no different from strangers." Xu Yan said disapprovingly, "Besides, it will be completely different soon."

Ye Liuzhou took a deep breath, "Then when shall we leave?"

"There are still some things that have not been resolved, so we have to wait." Xu Yan paused for a moment, then said calmly, "Ji Han is looking at you, do you know him?"

Ye Liuzhou was slightly startled, and quickly came back to his senses and said, "How did I know the chief assistant of the dynasty..."

At this time, the old man Ji got up from his seat, held up the golden cup and said with a loud smile: "Today's joy is for my [-]th birthday, and for my grandson who has been raised in the countryside since he was a child and has only come back today."

In an instant, everyone's eyes, including Ji Han's, shifted to Xu Yan in the corner.

Someone asked, "But the son of the late General Xianwu?"

Old Master Ji replied: "It is the son of Saner Honglu."

Ye Liuzhou knew how ugly Xu Yan's face must be at this moment even if he couldn't see it.

But today is Mrs. Ji's birthday, and there are many famous officials and dignitaries present. He specially picked this time to make Xu Yan have nowhere to go. Naturally, Xu Yan couldn't save his face and refuse, so he had to be serious. Face stood up and bowed in salute.

Mrs. Ji waved his hand to let him sit down to eat. During the feast, there was a congratulatory sound as he wished. Some people had a bad complexion and kept silent.

After the third round of banquet and wine, the guests dispersed, Xu Yan and Ye Liuzhou followed the servants to the back room to stay overnight in the mansion.

Only then did Ye Liuzhou put the title of "Ji Liu" on Xu Yan, he really didn't expect that the little weeping bag in the palace would grow into this appearance, and remembering his evil deeds to him back then, he couldn't help but feel very guilty.

If the other party finds out that he is Xie Linze, the consequences will be unimaginable...

When he was clamping the fox's tail, someone knocked on the door. He got up and opened the door. There was probably a follower standing outside, and he politely cupped his hands and said, "Young master, Mr. Ji, the chief assistant of my family, please go ahead." A story."

Ye Liuzhou would definitely not go with him, but before he could refuse, a jade pillow was thrown out of the room, and then Xu Yan yelled straightforwardly: "Get out!"

The servant was knocked back several steps, and hurriedly left silently.

Xu Yan sat down after tidying up the bedding, frowning, "What's wrong with Ji Han? Why did he come to you?"

"Maybe I bumped into him at the banquet..." Ye Liuzhou closed the door, and said, "Xu, Ji Liu."

He changed the title, "How are you going to deal with your grandfather?"

"No, his words won't affect my decision." Xu Yan raised his eyes to look at him, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "But you, how did you change your address?"

"Ah, is there?" Ye Liuzhou heard that he was leaving, and asked, "Where are you going?"

"The room next door." Xu Yan turned around and saw the other party walking in his footsteps, "I have already laid out the bedding for you. The Ji Mansion has many spacious rooms, so you can just rest here."

Ye Liuzhou shook his head, "I want to be in the same room with you."

"why?"

"What if Ji Han sends someone again and you're not here?"

"Why would he send someone again?" Xu Yan asked inexplicably, "Do you have any grievances with Ji Han?"

"……No."

Despite what he said, he still followed Xu Yan closely.

Xu Yan was helpless, "Are you afraid of Ji Han?"

Ye Liuzhou shook his head.

I'm afraid, not to mention it, but if he finds out his identity here, it will be a catastrophe.

Xu Yan held down Ye Liuzhou who was still going forward, and said: "Well, let's go cover up and beat Ji Han up and knock him out, so that he can't send someone here, you see how?"
