This seat is a villain

Chapter 20 Jing Lan

As soon as he entered Guangling City, Lin Jinhuan noticed that the subordinates he asked Yanqing to arrange to meet him in the city had quietly followed up.

Lin Jinhuan remained calm, and found the largest inn in Guangling City to settle down.He first asked Xiao Er to take the horse to rest, and then asked for three upper rooms.

If there were only him and Xue Yao at this time, they could switch to two horses and continue on the road.But now that Wei Ziyao is extra, the three of them had no choice but to stay in Guangling City for one more night.

Lin Jinhuan returned to the guest room, and just as he was about to spread his pen and ink to send a message to Yanqing, someone knocked on the window.Lin Jinhuan thought that his subordinates should come to see him, so he didn't stop the pen in his hand, but said lightly: "Come in."

The window was pushed open from the outside, bringing in a bit of evening breeze, which also carried the aroma of osmanthus seeds.It wasn't someone else who came in from the window, but Xue Yao.

Lin Jinhuan was slightly surprised when he saw him jumping in through the window so aggressively.

"Brother Lin seems a little surprised." Xue Yao didn't seem to notice that there was anything wrong with his behavior. He wandered around the room and sat down before Lin Jinhuan's case as if nothing had happened.

"Who are you waiting for?" Xue Yao's eyes fell on the letter paper Lin Jinhuan spread on the table, and he asked meaningfully.

"I want to open the window when the door is well placed. What's wrong?" Lin Jinhuan glanced at Xue Yao, but didn't answer his question. As if he didn't care about Xue Yao's gaze, he lowered his head and continued to write his letter. .

The devil's handwriting is really good, it is exactly the same as what he saw in his dream.Xue Yao thought.

Seeing that Xue Yao didn't speak, Lin Jinhuan let him go and lowered his head to write the letter in his hand.One is writing and the other is reading, the atmosphere between the two is unexpectedly quiet, without the usual tension, provocation and prying.

At this time, the candle flame suddenly flickered, the lamp exploded, and the light in the room suddenly dimmed.Lin Jinhuan was about to stand up and cut the candles, when he raised his head, he saw Xue Yao standing beside the candlestick, flicking the candlelight, holding a pair of small scissors in his hand.

"You write yours." Xue Yao said to Lin Jinhuan somewhat vaguely.At this moment, he was concentrating on fiddling with the wick, his eyes were slightly squinted and his eyelashes drooped, his movements were rough but patient.

The dim candlelight shone on Xue Yao's face. This face coincided with the one in his memory at this moment, and Lin Jinhuan was slightly taken aback.

He thought of an ordinary rainy night in Guanqiao Village more than ten years ago, and that person was cutting lanterns under the window in the same way.At that time, it was raining endlessly outside the window, and on the desk was a half-turned-up scripture book, and what he wrote in his hand were the handouts to be used in school tomorrow.The days in the mountains were peaceful and leisurely, and my biggest worry at that time was just not knowing when that person would leave.

The nonsense that Shen Zhaobi said before leaving Jinling suddenly came into his mind by accident.

At this time, the candle was lit up again, Xue Yao put down the scissors in his hand, turned around and saw Lin Jinhuan staring at him blankly, Xue Yao wondered, "What's wrong?"

Lin Jinhuan came back to his senses, lowered his head and continued to write the letter, and said calmly, "It's nothing."

But I thought in my heart: Am I stunned?

Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Due to his own absurd thoughts just now, Lin Jinhuan was at a loss for no reason because of his relative silence now. He collected his thoughts and asked nonchalantly, "You worked so hard to come in through the window just to peep at the secrets in my door?"

In fact, Xue Yao was also annoyed, the act of cutting the lanterns just now was really a subconscious reaction, like a habit.Looking back now, he feels a little too intimate.Just as he was embarrassed, Lin Jinhuan thoughtfully handed over the steps, so he changed the subject along the ladder.

Xue Yao put on a stingy look and said, "It seems like no one knows about your Jiutianmen's crap."

Lin Jinhuan laughed as soon as he heard it, and said, "I don't know which villain is spying on him when he is drunk."

As soon as the words fell, Xue Yao stopped talking.Lin Jinhuan realized that he had made a slip of the tongue in retrospect, coughed lightly, and aggravated the tone of his writing, unreasonably venting his anger on Yanqing, who received the letter from afar.

Xue Yao sighed inwardly.He cleared his throat, sat down on the armchair, and said, "Actually, I want to talk to you about something."

Lin Jinhuan stopped writing, put aside distracting thoughts and asked, "About Wei Ziyao?"

"Exactly." Xue Yao said.

"That idiot has a problem. I suspect he came to us on purpose when he was in Jinling." Lin Jinhuan said.

Today he saw Wei Ziyao for the first time in the woods, and began to realize that there was something wrong with this dude, but what happened later confirmed his guess even more.

"Today he deliberately exposed us in front of Zhao Shuyan, and the fact that he broke the formation is too coincidental. I doubt he knows where the formation is located," Xue Yao said.Wei Ziyao had too many coincidences, and the words "good luck" obviously couldn't explain it.Today, it was clear that Wei Ziyao was deliberately messing around to provoke Xue Yao to be rough on him, taking advantage of the situation to destroy the eye of the formation, and then creating the illusion of an accidental break of the formation.

Xue Yao's guess was consistent with what he thought, and Lin Jinhuan added: "Maybe he is here waiting for us, otherwise he shouldn't be able to detect us with his skill."

Xue Yao took it for granted, "It won't be a small character who can make Kunchi send Zhao Shuyan to do it himself."

"We should do this next." Lin Jinhuan asked knowingly. He had already made arrangements in his heart, but he wanted to know what Xue Yao's representative Zhulinjing wanted to do.

"Wait and see what happens, and see what he wants to do." Xue Yao went around the hole Lin Jinhuan dug, and asked again: "What kind of identity does Brother Lin think this Wei Ziyao is?"

Lin Jinhuan put down his pen, blew on the paper lightly, and said in distress, "Don't ask me, I don't have much experience in this area, so I often suffer."

Xue Yao stretched out his hand and hooked his fingers towards Lin Jinhuan, and he himself moved slightly closer to him, lowering his voice and pretending to be mysterious: "Could it be..."

Lin Jinhuan looked at his eyes that were shining under the candlelight, and smiled indulgently: "You and I know what we know."

After the two chatted a little more, Xue Yao went out through the window and went back to the next room.Lin Jinhuan closed the window with some reluctance, thinking that this Xue surname was somewhat of a character in the bamboo forest, so why would he act like a gentleman on the beam.

A moment later, Lin Jinhuan's subordinates also arrived.He had actually been here for a while, but he didn't show up because he saw that there was a guest in the main room.

"How is Wei Ziyao?" Lin Jinhuan asked casually as he sat back in front of the desk.

"Reporting to the sect master, Wei Ziyao is in the room, and Jing Fan is leading someone to watch him." The person who answered was a young man who was pleasing to the eye, but looked a little mature.

This person is Yanqing's first disciple, Jing Lan. Recently, he happened to be leading a small team to handle errands near Guangling, and was sent by Yanqing to meet Lin Jinhuan after finishing the work.

Lin Jinhuan put the letter he just wrote in an envelope, sealed it, and handed it to Jing Lan, and said: "Send someone to send it back to your master." At the end, he gave another order: "Your first task right now is to keep an eye on Wei Ziyao."

"Yes!"

Jing Lan took the letter in Lin Jinhuan's hand and left with her fists clasped.

***

Wei Ziyao, the current key follower of Jiutianmen, was awakened by the sound of birds chirping outside the window.

He turned over and covered his head with the quilt anxiously.Last night he had weird dreams throughout the night, and he didn't fall asleep until dawn.

But the sparrows outside the window didn't care if Young Master Wei slept well at night, they stood on the window sill in groups and chirped non-stop, making Wei Ziyao lose his temper in his sleep.

"Four joys! Four joys! Tell me to shoot down those annoying birds!" Wei Ziyao sat up violently, threw off the quilt and said angrily.

However, no one responded to him.

Wei Ziyao sat on the bed angrily for a while, then suddenly realized that there was no Sixi, and Sixi had died last night.

He threw off the quilt and got out of bed in some frustration, his gradually sober mind made him realize his current situation.He glanced out of the window as if resigned to his fate, the sun was shining brightly outside, and it was already high in the sun.

"So it's already so late." Wei Ziyao murmured, walked to the screen with his shoes on, and began to change clothes by himself.

Halfway through the clothes, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

It's so late, where are Xue Yao and Lin Jinhuan?Seeing how they rushed on the road last night, could it be that they left him while he was sleeping?

The drowsiness in Wei Ziyao's mind suddenly woke up, he dressed indiscriminately, and hurried to Lin Jinhuan's door.At this moment, he didn't bother to knock on the door, and pushed the door open.

The room was empty, Wei Ziyao's heart sank three points.

He didn't give up and knocked on Xue Yao's door again, but there was still no one in the room.

Wei Ziyao started to panic, whenever he thought of going back to Lin'an by himself, his calves started to tremble with fear.He scrambled and rushed downstairs, hoping in his heart that his father, who was the God of Wealth, would bless him and catch up with them in time.

"Yo, Mr. Wei, what's the matter?"

Wei Ziyao had just arrived at the inn lobby and was focusing on rushing to the stables when he suddenly heard someone talking to him.He quickly looked back and saw Xue Yao sitting at a square table.

The table was full of delicacies, and Lin Jinhuan was sitting beside him.

Wei Ziyao walked towards Xue Yao as if he had just woken up from a dream. He was still a little unbelievable when he came to the table. Wei Ziyao asked in a daze, "You didn't leave..."

"Where can the two of us go before you leave?" Lin Jinhuan asked Xiao Er to add a new pair of bowls and chopsticks as if he heard something stupid, then turned his head and said to Wei Ziyao, "Sit down."

Wei Ziyao sat down in a daze, and swallowed hard.I have been so busy these past few days that I really haven't had a good meal.

Xue Yao picked up a pair of chopsticks and put the squirrel mandarin fish into his own bowl. Seeing that Wei Ziyao didn't move his chopsticks as if he was out of his body, he picked up a piece and put it in front of him, saying, "Try this."

Wei Ziyao looked at Lin Jinhuan, at Xue Yao, and at the table full of delicacies from mountains and seas.I suddenly became vigilant in my heart, thinking how these two fierce gods suddenly treated me so well today.

But if there is any way, survival is the most important thing.Thinking so, Wei Ziyao picked up the mandarin fish in the bowl with his chopsticks and sucked it into his mouth, and asked vaguely, "What do you want to do?"

"In case something happens on the road, you can still be a full-fledged ghost." Xue Yao said with a smile, and put another piece of soy pork into his bowl.

Knowing that these two people would not have any good intentions, Wei Ziyao slandered, burying his head in his mouth to pick up the food, the most important thing right now is to eat, and he will settle with them when he arrives in Lin'an safely.

Thinking about it, he extended his chopsticks to a plate of eight-treasure duck.

Unknowingly approaching noon, the number of guests eating in the inn gradually increased. A little girl and an old man playing the erhu sat on the stage and began to sing. Wu Nong's soft words were very interesting.

Lin Jinhuan listened enthusiastically, then suddenly looked at Xue Yao, and asked, "Young Master Xue, are you from the capital?"

Xue Yao was having fun watching Wei Ziyao eating like a reincarnated starved ghost. When Lin Jinhuan asked, he didn't understand.

"Why did you say that?" Xue Yao was a little puzzled.

"I see that you prefer the dishes in the capital, so just ask casually." Lin Jinhuan said, as if he really didn't care much about the answer when he asked casually, he raised his hand to fill the cup in front of him, and turned his head to listen to the song carefully went.

Xue Yao stared at the half-eaten snowflake jujube paste and chestnut urn meat on the table in a daze. This question stumped Xue Yao. In fact, he never knew what he liked to eat. He always had something to eat before bigu in his memory. What, there is no time for people to think about this question in the bamboo forest, let alone ask him this question.

Unexpectedly, today Lin Jinhuan saw his preferences at a glance.

Seeing that Wei Ziyao's eating speed slowed down, Lin Jinhuan knew that he ate about the same, so he took a sip of tea and said slowly: "Let's talk about it when you're full."

Wei Ziyao paused his hand for chopping the rice, and thought: Here we come, so this is waiting for me here.

"Say what?" Wei Ziyao pretended to be nonchalant, swallowed the last bite of meat in his mouth, took the veil and wiped his mouth, and said.

"Tell me about you, a worthless son of a wealthy businessman, why did you work for the Kunchi faction to let Zhao Shuyan come and get you?" Lin Jinhuan asked.

Wei Ziyao was about to get angry when he heard the words "no prospect". He glanced at Lin Jinhuan, turned his head to think about it, and said cautiously, "Could it be because Miss Zhao covets my beauty?"

Lin Jinhuan smiled coldly, without saying a word, he threw the tea cup in his hand on the table heavily.The cup made a muffled noise, but not a drop of tea was spilled.

Wei Ziyao shuddered inexplicably under the blue sky and broad daylight.

"Mr. Wei, I advise you to tell the truth." Xue Yao put on a bad face at this moment, because he is not very used to speaking human words, so at this moment he smiled a little ferociously, which made people see a hint of threat out of thin air.

"Gentlemen, I really don't know anything," Wei Ziyao said with a sad face, "I also want to know why. I took my family back to Lin'an, but a group of witches came and killed all my servants for no reason. , I still want to arrest me, I still want to find someone to reason with. Three generations of my ancestors have been in business and have encountered this kind of thing..."

Seeing Wei Ziyao's posture of chattering about all the trivial matters of the three generations of his ancestors, Xue Yao interrupted him and said, "When Zhao Shuyan wanted to arrest you, how did you know where we were?"

Wei Ziyao widened his eyes and said, "I didn't know you were there. I'm not a fairy. I just wanted to make a fool of myself and take the opportunity to escape. Who knew you were really there? Or how can I say I'm lucky? If I'm not lucky, how can I be reincarnated?" To the home of the richest man in Jiangnan?"

Wei Ziyao talked nonsense, and he thought it was quite reasonable and logically flawless.But Lin Jinhuan didn't buy it, it was clearly written on his face that he didn't believe a single word.

"Besides, why do you two judge me? I don't even know whether your hearts are black or rotten." Wei Ziyao looked at Lin Jinhuan again and said, "I think you are very cruel when you beat up a little girl." Yes, you are not a good person at first glance. I trust you so much, why don't you trust me, what do you have for this young master to plot? Are you trying to get your money..."

Wei Ziyao looked at Lin Jinhuan's face again while talking, and finally closed his mouth knowingly.

After lunch, the three of them were about to leave Guangling for Lin'an. Before departure, Lin Jinhuan and Xue Yao stood aside with their hands behind their backs and watched Wei Ziyao move things into the carriage. Those who didn't know thought that he was out of the city for an outing, not fleeing.

"This silly boy didn't tell the truth." Xue Yao said.

"When the time comes, we will show our feet." Lin Jinhuan looked at Wei Ziyao and said.
