unprepared

Yan Chen tugged at the skirt of his clothes, and hooked out the half of the jade pendant around his neck. Su Huai stretched his head and leaned in front of him for a closer look. It really was a pair with the half in his hand. It happens to be a word "Fu".

"Your surname is Fu?" Su Huai asked.

Yan Chen didn't speak, neither said yes nor no.

Su Huai interpreted his silence as tacit consent. Since he was guilty of a crime, the name Yan Chen was naturally false.

"Your sister's jade pendant appeared on Xiao Wu, so is she also in Zhige Mountain?"

Yan Chen was a little uneasy thinking about the girl he met on the street that night, isn't she in Shuojing?How did he end up in Cong Ming County?

"I want to go to Mount Zhige."

"Now?"

Yan Shen nodded.

"No." Su Huai didn't want to refuse directly, "If Zhigeshan is really a paper tiger, it wouldn't make Congming County helpless until now. You want to find your sister by yourself, it's just a dream."

"I……"

"I know, that's someone close to your blood. It's understandable for you to be anxious, but don't be rash about this matter. Didn't your Highness say that he plans to go to Zhige Mountain? Let him pay attention to see if he can..." Su Huai While talking and looking at Yan Chen, the next words suddenly stopped.

His younger sister might be in Zhige Mountain, a land of tigers and wolves, and it is really unreasonable for him to ask someone to wait.

"I can't wait that long." Yan Chen said.

Su Huai didn't know if it was his own delusion. He always felt that Yan Chen was very nervous and took this matter very seriously, but it was not the kind of worry and anxiety that his brother felt about his sister being in a dangerous place. As for what it was, he couldn't say .

"Well, let me ask His Royal Highness Seventh to see when he is going to raise this matter with the emperor, and let him go as soon as possible. After all, this person died in Shuojing." Su Huai patted him comfortingly. Shoulder, after the pat, I felt that my behavior was a bit embarrassing, and it didn't fit my identity.

When did he learn to comfort others, the dignified son of the prime minister's mansion, he should comfort this guy who is not pleasing to the eye no matter what.

"Cough..." Su Huai withdrew his hand, thinking that he changed the subject very naturally, "Then what was your original name?"

"It's better not to know." Yan Chen said.

Su Huai didn't ask any more questions, the old man didn't mention Yan Chen's identity to him, so he naturally didn't want him to get involved, but since he knew his surname was Fu, it wouldn't be difficult for him to find out who it was.

When Su Huai went to find Uncle Wei this afternoon, he didn't expect to meet someone who shouldn't be here, no, it was two.

"Why are you here?" Su Huai looked at that iceberg face, when did they get so familiar?Is it already a relationship where you can go through the door at will?

Wang Xiao hugged the sword and said nothing, Yan Zhizhou stretched out one hand, Wei Ziran was applying medicine to him, it was still the injury from last time, but it has almost healed.

Regarding Su Huai who has always been unruly, the Seventh Prince doesn't mind his attitude towards him, let alone this is not in the palace.

"How can I not be here?"

Su Huai looked at Uncle Wei, Wei Ziran bandaged his wound and said, "I met you on the street."

In fact, we met each other on the street, Wei Ziran greeted him politely, asked about his injury politely, and politely said something polite about inviting someone to come to his house, who would have thought that this person nodded: "It's just right, the palms of my hands are itching badly these days, please ask Mr. Xiao to take a look."

Wei Ziran wrapped up the wound, and explained a few more words, and then he got into the room with the medicine box in his hand: "Sit down first, and I'll prepare tea for you."

Su Huai lifted up the hem of his clothes and sat down, staring at Yan Zhizhou's hands for a while, then turned his gaze to his face: "It's just right that you are here, I have something to tell you. Last time I said to go to Zhige Mountain. When are you leaving?"

"I haven't told my father yet, I have to wait until autumn at the earliest." Yan Zhizhou adjusted the gauze on his hand.

Su Huai: "Be early."

Yan Zhizhou looked at him puzzled.

Su Huai told him what happened that day: "If it's sooner or later, I don't know how many people will die, as well as those dog officials in Congming County who carelessly ignore human lives..."

"It's more than that!" Yan Zhizhou stared at him. Based on his understanding of Su Huai, this person has never paid much attention to these matters. It is really rare that he would take the initiative to ask him today.

Su Huai narrowed his eyes slightly, and then looked away after a pause, and said extremely unnaturally: "Yan Chen's younger sister is probably still in Zhige Mountain, and I don't know if it's dead or alive."

Yan Zhizhou raised his eyebrows, showing a secretive smile: "I see."

"Tsk, what does that expression mean?" Su Huai became even angrier when he saw him like this.

Wang Xiao smiled unabashedly: "It seems that Mr. Su is interested in your younger brother!"

"He's not my brother." Su Huai said angrily.

"In this case, it's better to leave earlier, but at the end of this month at the earliest." Yan Zhizhou said.

Su Huai nodded: "I guess that guy wants to go in person, if he tells you..."

"I will not reject him." Yan Zhizhou said.

"Huh? I told you not to take him there." Su Huai said, "He's a country bumpkin who has never seen anything in the world. If he goes there, he will only cause you trouble. Why take him?"

"If I don't take him with me, he will definitely go there secretly." Yan Zhizhou said, "Think about it yourself, don't you?"

Su Huai was silent, too, Yan Chen looked careless at his age but was very deep, and with his personality, nothing could stop him.

If he really went there secretly by himself, it would be safer to follow Yan Zhizhou.

"He and you are real brothers!" Su Huai snorted, the two had known each other for a long time, and they looked like confidants who were hard to meet.

Yan Zhizhou just smiled and said nothing: "Compared to knowing him, I know you better."

"...What do you mean?" Su Huai asked.

"Let's make a bet." Yan Zhizhou supported his head and tilted his head to look at him.

"what?"

Yan Zhizhou: "You will go to Zhige Mountain with me."

Su Huai was taken aback for a moment, and then he seemed to hear some joke: "I'm afraid you are dreaming!"

Not to mention the environment in that ghostly place, but his eyes don't work well at night, so why does he follow?

"Dare to gamble?"

"Gambling." There's no reason to dare, "You're doomed."

Whether to go to Zhige Mountain or not, the legs grow on him.

"What's the bet?" Wang asked with a smile, he seemed more excited than the person involved.

"If I win, I can assign you to do one thing, and vice versa." Yan Zhizhou said.

Su Huai rolled his eyes silently: "You just don't win, aren't you also assigning me to do things?"

"It's different." Yan Zhizhou said.

Su Huai: "Okay, as long as it's not murder and arson."

"of course not."

At this moment, Uncle Wei came out with a tea tray, offered everyone a cup, then sat down and looked at Su Huai: "What do you want from me?"

Su Huai took a sip of tea: "It's nothing, I want to eat the mille-feuille cake you made."

The corner of Uncle Wei's mouth twitched: "Am I your cook?"

"Of course not. If so, would I still have to run so far?" Su Huai said.

"Hurry up and show some face!" Wei Ziran said so, but his buttocks still lifted up, and just about to enter the room, he turned back and asked Yan Zhizhou, "Do you want to eat, Mr. Zhou?"

"Is it convenient?" Yan Zhizhou asked.

"It's nothing inconvenient or inconvenient, I have to do it for this guy." Wei Ziran said.

"Thank you very much!" Yan Zhizhou said.

When Uncle Wei entered the kitchen, Su Huai couldn't bear to look directly at Yan Zhizhou: "When did the surname change, does the emperor know?"

"Don't let me tell you the truth, after all, it's inconvenient for me to reveal my identity to others." Yan Zhizhou said.

Su Huai clicked his tongue twice, noncommittal, then seemed to think of something again, raised his voice and shouted: "Make a few more, I'll bring them back to... Su Qi."

"Understood, did I owe you in my previous life..." Wei Ziran's complaining voice came over.

When Su Huai returned home with the snack box, Su Qi stopped him as soon as he entered the door.

He wrinkled his nose: "What smells so fragrant?"

Then he looked at the things in Su Huai's hand, his eyes widened suddenly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Wei's thousand-layer cake."

"Go away, don't get in the way." Su Huai slapped Su Qi's head and pushed him aside.

"Hey big brother." Su Qi followed behind him step by step, "Didn't you bring this for me?"

Su Huai turned to look at him: "I saw that you were kind enough not to do anything to you, and you still want me to bring you snacks?"

When Su Qi heard this, he felt aggrieved and fearful, and quickly kept a certain distance from him, hesitating for a moment between being beaten and layer cake, and then ran away.

Su Huai looked at his back and shook his head.

Yan Chen sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the jade pendant on the table in front of him in a daze. Ever since the half of the jade pendant appeared, he has been suffering every day. Whether she is dead or alive, this matter must have a result.

If he had recognized her the night he met her on the street, would it be a different scene now?

When Su Huai opened the door and came in, he saw Yan Chen staring down at the jade pendant on the table, as if a flower could grow from the jade pendant.

"Hey, hey, he's back!" Su Huai stepped forward and shook his hand in front of him.

Only then did Yan Chen realize that it was Su Huai who came back, and then he smelled a fragrance, and moved his eyes to his hand: "It smells so good."

"Of course." Su Huai smiled triumphantly, and put the food box on the table in front of him: "This is Uncle Wei's specialty dim sum, I'll try it for you."

Yan Chen opened the lid and took out one that was still hot. He hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls for dinner, but now he smelled the smell and his stomach was full of gluttons. After he took a bite, it was soft and sweet, but not greasy at all.

Su Huai: "Delicious!"

"Delicious." Yan Chen nodded, and then said, "Did brother bring it for me?"

I saw Su Huai's face change: "Bah, you are beautiful, I brought this for Su Qi, he said he couldn't eat it, so I gave it to you."
