After Li Ye left, Rong Yan sat on the head of the bed alone and was in a daze.

In the previous life, Li Ye did not come to Xu country together, or in other words, Li Ye never lived to the day when he came to Xu country.

That day, Rong Yan was trapped in the capital together with other members of the imperial family, and he didn't know the situation outside at all, or in other words, he was the only one who didn't know.Later the capital fell, and he fled under the protection of Li Ye, only thinking of going north to join his clan. Only when he arrived in Lingzhou did he find out that Rong Xuan had proclaimed himself emperor a long time ago.

Rong Xuan took good care of Rong Yan, gave him a mansion, rewarded guards, and arranged a new official position for Li Ye.Until Rong Yan was forced to leave Wei State and go north to Xu, the two never saw each other again.

It wasn't until a long time later that Rong Yan found out that not long after Li Ye was transferred, Rong Xuan found a pretext to punish him, and finally he died on the street, dying with regret.

When Rong Yan woke up in this life, it was already after the capital was destroyed.He was sent out of the capital by his mother's desperate efforts, and there was only Li Ye, who was in a panic but vowed to protect him to the death, by his side.

With all the past life still in sight, Rong Yan didn't have time to plan for the future, so he made a decision for Li Ye first.

When he arrived in Lingzhou again, he was left alone.

From then on, no one in Xu and Wei countries knew of Li Ye's existence.

"My lord, are you awake?" The door was knocked twice, and the steward's cautious voice came in.

Rong Yan lifted the bed curtain, found a robe and put it on, because he drank too much wine the night before, and his head was still a little dizzy, so he poured a cup of cold tea and took a sip before calmly saying: "Come in."

After a while, the door opened, and the steward came in lightly with a food box. Seeing what Rong Yan was drinking, he hurriedly said, "Sir, don't drink the cold tea from the previous night. You should drink some hangover soup first, and then the stove will drink it later." The porridge in the room is ready, and the villain will bring it to you."

While talking, he opened the food box and brought out a steaming bowl of hangover soup.

Rong Yan took a look, his eyes fell on the steward's face, the corners of his lips were slightly pursed, he didn't know what he was thinking, after a long time, he showed a little bit of a smile with no clear meaning: "I have a heart."

"My lord, you're being polite. It's what villains should do." The steward pushed the hangover soup in front of Rong Yan, "This soup is made according to Xu Guo's taste. I don't know if you are used to drinking it. The villain has already set out to find it. I'm a cook who is good at cooking Wei dishes, and it will be settled in a few days."

Rong Yan stirred the hangover soup a few times with a spoon, raised his head to look at the manager's smiling face, thoughtful.

The people of Xu acted properly and quickly. The news from the Kingdom of Wei arrived, and Emperor Shouguang ordered people to prepare such a house. After moving in, Rong Yan had several face-to-face meetings with the steward. The attitude of the other party was not as eager as today. Rong Yan was busy with other things and didn't take it to heart.Today's comparison seems a bit intriguing.

The steward didn't know what Rong Yan was thinking, seeing him take a sip of hangover soup and his brows relaxed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and continued following the harmonious atmosphere: "The mansion needs to add more servants, especially I don’t know if you have any request for the person who serves you personally?”

"It's nothing, you can pick and choose." Rong Yan drank half a bowl of hangover soup, and felt a lot more comfortable in his stomach, and even looked at the steward in front of him.

The steward hurriedly said: "My lord, you don't have to be so polite. You live here and you are the owner of this place. A villain should do things for you." As he spoke, he cleared away the soup bowl and looked around the room, " The young master has slept well these few days, do you need to add anything, and if you have any requirements, just ask."

Rong Yan rubbed his fingers, looked back at the pile of court clothes piled up at the end of the bed, and was not polite: "Let's deal with those first."

"Okay." After the steward responded, he felt something was wrong with Rong Yan's tone. After thinking about it for a while, he couldn't help repeating, "Do you want to deal with it?"

"Throw it away or set it on fire." Seeing the steward's surprise, Rong Yan laughed, "I'm already in Xu State, why do I still have Wei State's court clothes? The new court clothes will be delivered to the mansion in a few days." Come on, remember to put it away."

"Yes." The steward went to collect the pile of clothes, but when he came across the cloak, he was suddenly stopped. He was stunned, his hands stopped in mid-air, and he looked at Rong Yan blankly.

Staring proudly at the cloak for a while, he said in a low voice, "The cloak was carefully washed and sent back."

The steward responded, and left neatly with his things in his arms.Rong Yan sat alone at the table and poured himself another cup of cold tea.

It's the first day after the snow.

The sun was hanging brightly overhead, but there was no warmth.Yu Ren closely followed Liang Ji's footsteps, and the two walked through the ankle-deep snow and strode into the gate of the government office.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Yu Ren sneezed. He couldn't help wrapping his cloak tightly, looked at Liang Ji who was only wearing a cotton robe, and couldn't help saying: "General, I remember that the old lady was not Someone made you a cloak, it's so cold today, why don't you wear it?"

"I lost it." Liang Ji said.

Yu Ren was stunned for a moment: "Ah? If the old lady knew..."

While the two were talking, they walked through the corridor and walked around to the door of a guarded house. Liang Ji paused slightly, looked sideways at Yu Ren and interrupted his nagging: "Is everyone inside?"

"After I got the news last night, I took someone there to clean it up. It's not bad." Yu Ren nodded to the two guards at the door, and stretched out his hand to push the door open. A faint smell of blood wafted out. Yu Ren sniffed and complained, "I didn't say that the general struck too hard last night. Just a few people bleed all over the place. If it wasn't for the heavy snow last night, the brothers are still cleaning the blood on the stone bricks."

"Is everything cleaned up?" Liang Ji waved Yu Ren's hand away and walked straight in.

Yu Ren took a few steps to follow in, and closed the door behind him: "The blood stains have been cleaned up, and fresh snow has been covered. Don't worry, the people won't notice."

Liang Ji responded, his eyes scanned the room, and finally he reached out and lifted the white cloth on a wooden shelf a few steps away.

Worried about Rong Yan in the carriage the night before, Liang Ji moved his weapon directly, striking decisively, so the person in front of him could be regarded as dying. Pointing to the wound on the man's face, "Look at this face, it's bloody and bloody. The brother who went to collect the corpse almost spit out the supper he just ate when he saw it at first sight."

Liang Ji also took a look, and replied lightly: "Last night, it was dark and snowy, and there were too many of them, so they couldn't take care of so many."

Yu Ren was puzzled: "Then why didn't the general wait for the brothers to arrive before attacking?"

"I can wait for you, can they too?"

Liang Ji stretched out his hand and turned over the corpse, then turned his head to look at the other corpses, Yu Ren explained beside him: "It should be a professional killer, the night clothes are the same, and I can't find anything on him that can prove It’s something about identity. It took so much effort to assassinate that little proton... I think it should be done by the Wei people themselves. So I went to the post house specifically. The Wei State Mission left Longcheng early this morning. That's right too."

"Let so many Wei people sneak into Longcheng quietly, you and I are negligent." Liang Ji raised his eyebrows, glanced at Yu Ren, and covered the white cloth in his hand, "Have you found that coachman?" ?”

"I sent someone to his house last night, but it was all in vain. I guess I knew it was difficult to explain, so I found a place to hide." Yu Rendao, "People have already guarded the gate of the city, and took the portrait in the city. Search it, and it will be caught today."

"If you catch it, lock it up first. I'll go into the palace and report the matter to the Holy Majesty. After the Holy Majesty arranges someone to take charge of the case, I will hand over this person and those inside."

The two went out, talking and walking out.When passing by the corridor, Liang Ji stopped, reached out to grab a handful of snow, and wiped his hands that had touched the corpse.Yu Ren followed suit and grabbed a handful of snow. The cold touch made him hiss lightly, but he was not willing to throw away the snow in his hand. He squeezed it into a snowball and threw it in his hand a few times. Looking around, he said in a soft voice, "Do you want to talk to His Royal Highness Ji Wang about this?"

"Why did you tell His Highness Ji Wang about this?"

Liang Ji had no expression on his face, but Yu Ren felt inexplicably that he had said something wrong. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Your Highness is responsible for the affairs of the Wei State Mission. Would it be better to say something?"

"Yesterday's tribute ceremony ended, and this matter has come to an end." Liang Ji looked at him for a while, and suddenly said, "Yu Ren, the Suwei Mansion is responsible for the safety of Longcheng, and is only responsible to the Holy One."

Yu Ren froze for a moment, subconsciously straightened his back: "I understand."

Liang Ji's expression softened, and he patted his shoulder lightly: "Let's go."

Yu Ren heaved a sigh of relief inexplicably, followed Liang Ji's footsteps, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly said: "I forgot to mention one more thing. When we arrived last night, we saw a line of extremely shallow footprints, which were not completely clear. It was covered by the flying snow. I compared it, and it wasn't those people lying inside."

Liang Ji turned his head to look at Yu Renren, and said, "Although it was snowing heavily last night, I can't even sense whether there are others around me."

"That should have appeared after you left? I don't know if they are the accomplices of those people. If they can be caught, they should be able to confirm their identities." Yu Ren thought for a while, "Should I find someone to track them down again? ?”

"No, I'll be responsible for this matter myself." Liang Ji immediately said: "Go and investigate the driver first, and you must catch him today. In addition, send a few people to the tea houses, restaurants and inns in the city to ask if anyone has seen those people. People's traces. Check the entry and exit records of several city gates to see if they have entered the city recently."

Yu Ren followed Liang Ji's words and thought for a while: "The general means that these people may not have just arrived in Longcheng?"

"It's not surprising that the Wei people have a few dark lines in Xu State. It hasn't been long since Emperor Wei ascended the throne, and these dark lines should not be buried too deep. We can take the opportunity to wipe them all out to avoid future troubles." Liang Ji paused, "I will report this matter later. To His Majesty."

Yu Ren nodded: "Yes."

The two had already walked outside the government office, Liang Ji raised his jaw in another direction: "Go, I'm entering the palace."
