Prodigal Goro-kun

March [-]th, the main room of the Emperor's Mansion.

Yan Qiuer was covered with Yansheng's black cloak, and sat quietly beside Yansheng with her head down, making tea while listening to Yansheng's discussions with the stewards.

Ever since he talked about Gu with Tang Shuo and Xiao Niang that night three days ago, Yan Sheng has been with him all day long, his whole body tensed up, not allowing him to leave his sight for a moment, nor Anyone other than Tang Shuo and Xiao Niang was allowed to approach him, and Yan Sheng took care of all his daily affairs. Even so, Yan Sheng looked at Tang Shuo and Xiao Niang suspiciously all day long, which made him Tang Shuo and Xiao Niang also became nervous, for fear that someone would take advantage of them again.

Yan Qiuer had no choice but to follow Yansheng to the main room, otherwise Yansheng planned to push everything to Yan Qi.It's not because he doesn't believe in Yan Qi's ability, but if Yan Sheng stays behind closed doors in his idle residence, someone will always go to the idle residence to convey the big and small affairs of the Yan family to Yan Sheng. The loopholes are drilled.

Yan Sheng also focused on two tasks as in the previous two days. While discussing the preparations for the Chamber of Commerce with the stewards, he was on guard against everyone around him.Three days ago, the other party disguised himself as Qi Yuan and put powder on Yan Qiuer's shoulders. Today, will the other party disguise himself as someone else again?

Feeling that Yan Sheng's grass and trees are like soldiers, Yan Qiuer's heart aches.In the final analysis, this matter was because he was too self-confident, and Yan Sheng was so tired that he was worried and frightened all day long.It's just that now, they can only continue.

Sighing secretly, Yan Qiuer poured a cup of tea while the discussion was paused, turned around and handed it to Yan Sheng, and said softly: "Have a sip of tea. Steward Tang has stepped up security in the mansion, and you have also explained to the stewards It's all my family here, nothing will happen."

Yan Sheng turned his head when he heard the sound, but only gave Yan Qiuer a perfunctory smile, took the tea, and took a sip.

Will it be okay?He also thought that way before, he thought that the emperor's mansion was all his own people, and Qiuer was the safest here, but what happened?He made a mistake once, how can he rest assured?

Seeing that Yan Sheng was still fully on guard, Yan Qiuer couldn't say anything more, but turned to apologize to the stewards, and then asked for a cup from Tang Shuo, and poured water over and over again to make tea, until every steward With a cup of tea in their hands, Yan Qiuer stopped and only warmed half a pot of tea on the small stove.During this process, Yan Sheng didn't say a word, he just drank his tea and thought in silence.

"Then the free eater hasn't arrived yet?" Yan Sheng asked Tang Shuo only after the teacup in his hand was empty.

Yan Qiuer took back the tea cup from Yan Sheng's hand, poured another cup, and sent it back.

Hearing this, Tang Shuo raised his eyes to look outside the door of the hall, and said in a deep voice, "If you go back to the Lord, you still haven't."

Yan Sheng frowned, and said in a cold voice: "The order will go on, saying that the Yan family will not have..."

"My lord! Don't give orders, don't give orders!" With a sound of "boom", a person fell from the roof and landed right at the door of the main room.After the man rolled on the ground twice, he hurriedly got up, staggered and rushed into the main room, his flustered appearance made him even more embarrassed, "Subordinate Fang Yao, pay homage to the lord." Finally he knelt down in front of Yan Sheng, the man He immediately spoke respectfully.

Yan Sheng looked at Fang Yao coldly, and said displeasedly, "Why is it so late?"

Night?Fang Yao raised his head and looked at Yan Sheng in shock.He was going to rush to Luoyang City from the snowy mountains in the Western Regions. If it was someone else, it would take him ten days and a half months to come back. He only spent more than two days. How could it be too late?

When Fang Yao raised his head, Yan Qiuer could finally see clearly the appearance of this disheveled man, and he couldn't help being a little surprised after seeing it clearly.

It stands to reason that Yan Sheng is already 27 or [-] years old, and those who can follow him and become his subordinates should be in their thirties. After all, not everyone can show amazing intelligence when they are in their teens and be recognized Yan Sheng chose, but Fang Yao, who was kneeling in front of Yan Sheng at this moment, looked extremely young. Yan Qiuer reckoned that Fang Yao was only seventeen or eighteen years old, about the same height as himself, so how could he become Yan Sheng's property? down?

Seeing Yan Qiuer's doubts, Yan Sheng sneered, and said to Yan Qiuer: "Don't be fooled by his face, he is already thirty-two."

32?Just this face? !Yan Qiuer was so shocked that even his expression froze. Seeing Fang Yao looking over, he quickly put on a friendly smile, nodded at Fang Yao and said, "I'm next to Yan Qiuer, I have met Steward Fang."

"He's not in charge, he's just a freelancer." Yan Sheng glanced at Fang Yao, who was all dirty, with distaste, and then told Tang Shuo, "Tang Shuo, take him down to clean up, and verify his integrity by the way. "

"Yes, my lord." Guessing that Fang Yao was about to arrive, Tang Shuo had already prepared everything for the bath.

Hearing what Yan Sheng said, Fang Yao immediately stood up, followed Tang Shuo to the back of the main room, and muttered as he walked: "Wash it clean, wash it clean, what's the matter with verifying the body? Is it possible? Who else would pretend to be me? I haven’t seen you for such a long time, and the lord has more things to do. Is he getting older? I said Tang Shuo, but you have something to say! I haven’t seen you for so long, but you are a little bit It hasn't changed, it's still like a boring gourd! I said you..."

Following Tang Shuo all the way out of the main room, Fang Yao never stopped talking, and his voice was not too loud, just enough for everyone in the main room to hear.

While listening to Fang Yao's babble, Yan Qiuer paid attention to the reactions of Yan Sheng and the other managers, seeing that Yan Sheng was acting like he was used to it, and although the others showed disgusted expressions, there was no lack of kind smiles in their eyes.Yan Qiuer had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions, and secretly analyzed and calculated Fang Yao's character and his weight in Yan's family.

"Let's go, Da Lang, I'll leave the rest to you." Fang Yao came back, and Yan Sheng just wanted to ask about the Gu that Yan Qiuer was trapped in immediately, so how could he have any intention of discussing it?So with a wave of his hand, he dismissed the crowd.

Yan Qiuer frowned slightly, deeply felt that Yan Sheng's behavior was inappropriate because of a small loss, but he also knew Yan Sheng's uneasiness in the past three days, so he only raised his face and smiled at Qi Yuan who had already stood up with an apology Laughing, then cupped his hands and bowed, saying: "Mr. Lauzi is here."

Qi Yuan froze for a moment, then waved his hand at Yan Qiuer, and left the main room with the others.

After all the stewards had left the main room, Yan Qiuer said to Yan Sheng: "Everyone has already returned, what are you in a hurry for? Just dismissed the stewards like this, how should they think of you?"

"What does it have to do with me?" He never cared what his subordinates think of him, he is just such a person, he will do this, how can he control what others think? "What's more, their affairs can be solved without me, and can they be more important than your safety?"

Hearing this, Yan Qiuer was moved in his heart, curled his lips, and remained silent.

The two didn't wait long before Fang Yao and Tang Shuo returned to the main room.

As soon as he stepped into the door, Fang Yao exclaimed: "Oh? Where is the person? Where did this person go? It's rare for me to come back, why didn't you wait for me?"

"What are you waiting for?" Yan Sheng gave Fang Yao a cold look, "Sit down. I have something to ask you."

Fang Yao's expression was serious, and he quickly walked to Yansheng's side and sat down, and said in a deep voice: "I have heard about Wulang-jun from Tang Shuo, and Wulang-jun is indeed a poison or a Gu. This Gu It comes from the dense forest in the southwest, it is extremely small, it is called phagocytosis, if it is mixed with wine, it will not attract attention at all.

Strictly speaking, the incense is not an introduction, but a kind of nourishment, which is used for feeding. If you do not give incense to the person who is infected by the Gu regularly, the Gu will not be able to survive.The other party used this incense as an introduction, presumably because Gu has just entered the body, it is just lurking, not active, only wakes up when eating.

And the sound of blowing leaves that Tang Shuo told me is the key to triggering this Gu, naturally it is not just blowing casually.

As for the person who sneaked into the emperor's mansion... the subordinates thought it was just a person who was good at disguise. "

"The dense forest in the southwest..." Yan Sheng narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "How did this thing get out?"

There are always some isolated ethnic tribes living in the remote places on the border of the country. There is a dense forest in the extreme southwest of Tianlan Kingdom. In the dense forest, such an ethnic group lives. The population is not large, dozens of people It's just that the Yan family broke into the dense forest by chance and got to know this ethnic group. After that, they regularly transported daily necessities to the dense forest. Besides, Yan Sheng strictly forbids anyone to disturb them.

However, in Yan Sheng's impression, that tribe was backward, but mysterious, exuding an inexplicable and dangerous atmosphere, which is why Yan Sheng banned the Yan family.If this Gu existed in such an isolated tribe, how could it spread?

Fang Yao shook his head, expressing that he did not know.Fang Yao also entered the dense forest once because of the opportunity of Yan's delivery. It was also due to the strangeness of the other party that he didn't go there for the second time. Just out of curiosity, Fang Yao still inquired about everything he could find out about the forest. The information of that tribe naturally also includes the information of this Gu.It's just that Fang Yao doesn't think that people in that tribe will take the initiative to hand over the Gu to others for use. Similarly, Fang Yao doesn't think that anyone can enter that tribe to take the Gu, but if neither, how did the Gu appear in Luoyang? of?

Fang Yao turned his head and looked at Yan Qiuer, who was bewitched, in bewilderment.

Yan Qiuer took a sip of tea, and after a long silence, he suddenly asked, "Before three or four months ago, or earlier, was there a war in the Southwest?"

"War?" Hearing this, Yan Sheng, Fang Yao and Tang Shuo frowned at the same time.

Yan Qiuer nodded, and asked again: "Is there any?"

"Yes." Yan Sheng nodded, "It's not a war, but the defenders were indeed called, and there was a battle." Speaking of this, Yan Sheng's mind flashed, and he immediately understood what Yan Qiuer meant. He raised his voice and instructed Tang Shuo, "Tang Shuo, send a letter to the southwest to ask them to change the direction of their investigation and investigate the battle. Whether the lost army is related to the king of Huai'an, and whether the tribe in the dense forest was involved in the battle. In short, we Know every detail of that battle."

"Yes, my lord." Tang Shuo responded, turned around and left the main room to deliver the message.

Yan Qiuer rolled his eyes and asked Fang Yao, "Can Guanshi Fang have a way to suppress this Gu?"

"No." Fang Yao shook his head, frowned at Yan Qiuer, "What does Mr. Wu Lang want to do?"

"I want...to meet that fake Luo Shi."
