wife and king
Chapter 42: Conjecture
Yan Cangling carried Le Ziyou to the study room. Xu Songming, who was summoned by him, was already waiting in the study room. When he saw them enter, Xu Songming bowed respectfully to them and closed the door for them.
Throwing away Le Ziyou, Yan Cangling threw himself on the table, picked up the teapot and poured it into his own mouth, and after dissipating the heat that had just surged up on his cheeks, he calmed down, and then he said, "How did Ji Fuxin return?" thing."
Xu Songming and Le Ziyou looked at each other, he cupped his hands and stepped forward, without answering, he asked: "My lord, I heard that the young master can speak, I don't know if he can tell you his name."
"Ji Linchuan, whose name is Jinghan." Yan Cangling replied.
"Ji Linchuan," Xu Songming frowned, went over the name in his mind, and shook his head, "A certain person was ordered by the prince to check the household registration of the Minister of the Ministry of War and his family tree, and found that there was no such person as Ji Linchuan. As for Ji Fuxin..." He was silent for a moment, and then informed Yan Cangling of his investigation results.
After finishing his speech, Yan Cangling's eyebrows turned into undulating mountains: "That is to say, Ji Fuxin in Wang Bin's mouth is actually a person who has been dead for many years. On the household registration of Ji Shangshu's family, there is no trace of him. As far as the proof of Ji Shangshu having a son, there is no such person as Ji Linchuan?"
"That's right," Xu Songming nodded, and connected the whole thing together in his mind, he glanced at Yan Cangling hesitantly, and continued slowly, "But I guess, since Wang Bin can find out the name of Ji Fuxin, then It's definitely not groundless, I'm afraid someone deliberately misled him into thinking that the young master's name is Ji Fuxin."
"You mean..." Le Zi looked at Xu Songming from the sideways, "Someone deliberately led Wang Bin to misunderstand, but did not explain it, and let Wang Bin misunderstand? Then what's the benefit of doing so."
"There is no record of Ji Fuxin's death in the household registration, and Ji Linchuan is not on the household registration of Ji Shangshu's family, but it turns out that he is indeed Ji Shangshu's son. After thinking about it, I only want to get one possibility. "Yan Cangling raised his head very slowly, staring at the two people in front of him, "It is possible that Ji Shangshu used his power to make people tamper with Ji Linchuan's household registration, and then sent people to let the people who didn't know The crowd mistakenly thought that Ji Linchuan was the dead Ji Fuxin, and Ji Linchuan used Ji Fuxin's identity and name to communicate in the capital."
Xu Songming and Le Ziyou both nodded, agreeing with Yan Cangling's guess.
"Hey," Yan Cangling frowned, and then frowned again, "You just said that Ji Fuxin died seven years ago?"
"good."
"Seven years ago, seven years later," Yan Cangling rubbed his eyebrows, "Why do I always feel that things are too coincidental, it happened to be the year that Jing Han and I met. Died seven years ago, that is to say, seven years ago The former Ji Linchuan is still Ji Linchuan... Zhongliang! Later you send someone to find out what happened to Ji Linchuan seven years ago that made him use the same name as someone else's identity, and when did he change his identity to the same name? It was removed from the household registration. That's right, Chang Yan can be notified to investigate this matter, he is easy to handle in the palace. That's right," Yan Cangling added, "Let Chang Yan investigate from the Minister of the Household Department."
"Mu Qing, what do you mean is that the Household Secretary tampered with Ji Shangshu's household registration?" Le Ziyou added, before Yan Cangling continued, "Thinking about it so carefully, it's really possible. Ji The status of the Shangshu itself is not low. If you want to tamper with the household registration, you can buy others without a few words, and you must be related to powerful people such as the household department Shangshu, otherwise you will never succeed. But what I am curious about is that it is good, Why do you have to go to such lengths to falsify your household registration, and what exactly are you trying to do?"
"You ask me, who am I to ask?" Yan Cangling sighed in frustration, "I can't just rush over and grab Ji Shangshu by the collar and ask, if that's the case, I'm afraid Ji Shangshu will grab a big knife first and chop me up gone."
cut you off...
Xu Songming and Le Ziyou looked up at the sky, thinking about it, and a picture of Ji Shangshu rolling up his sleeves, carrying a kitchen knife, and running along the street chasing Yan Cangling suddenly popped up in his mind.
If he only grabs the collar to ask questions and cuts people with a knife, then if Ji Shangshu knows that his precious son was sold by the two of them in the name of the queen-to-be, wouldn't he want to tear them into pieces.
Suddenly there was a shiver, and the two immediately looked at each other, determined not to say a word about the princess, otherwise Yan Cangling, who regarded Ji Linchuan as a person whom he admired, might pick up a knife and chop off their heads.
Yan Cangling didn't notice the weirdness of the two of them, so he picked up the teapot and poured a few sips of tea into his mouth. After drinking it, he put it down proudly, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Call Wang Bin to the mansion tomorrow, and tell him that Ji Shangshu has rescued him." Let’s talk about the same thing with him, so that we don’t have a big discrepancy with what Wang Bin said.”
Xu Songming nodded in response, cupped his hands and said, "I'll do it later."
"Very good." Yan Cangling blinked, looked outside at the sky, and found that the sky was getting darker. Just now when Ji Linchuan was making trouble, there was still a little bit of sunset light, but now even the slightest bit of light was covered by the night. went.
After traveling for many days, I went to look for Ji Linchuan again. Yan Cangling was already exhausted, so he yawned lazily and clicked his tongue: "Where are the people I brought back with me?"
Xu Songming replied: "For the time being, they will be placed in the backyard. As for where to go later, we must first test their abilities before we can make a conclusion."
"Very good," Yan Cangling pointed to Xu Songming, and instructed, "You can handle this matter. If you have time, you can go to Baijin and take Le Qi along. Le Qi is very observant, let him see. Which ones are available."
"Don't worry," Le Ziyou patted his palm lightly, vowing, "Leave it on me."
"It's done," Yan Cangling rubbed the center of his brows weakly, and waved his hands, "If there is nothing important, let's do this first. As for other matters, we will deal with them tomorrow."
"My lord! I have something important to tell you." Xu Songming said, leaving behind Yan Cangling, who was walking away. He paused for a moment, and after looking at Le Ziyou, he told Li Jie to come while Yan Cangling was away. In the end, he presented several things to Yan Cangling with both hands.
Yan Cangling glanced sideways, and the first thing was a copy of the token that Li Jie wore with him. This picture was meticulously drawn, and even a small piece of texture was drawn carefully, even the length, width, height and material of the token were also different. Everything is clearly written in the blank space.
"This is the first trick you used to get Li Jie's token." Xu Songming recalled that he had calculated Li Jie at the beginning, and a smile spread across his cheeks.It turned out that when Li Jie threw out the token and asked the groom to run errands to the palace for help, they held the groom back while looking for someone to copy the token.
Yan Cangling's eyebrows raised a touch of interest, and he continued to pick up the second thing to read. It was an extremely simple and scribbled letter. It probably said that today King Yan went out of the city to rescue me. If the emperor blames him, this thing can be used to keep Yan Wang safe.
"This is the second plan that the young master used to obtain this letter of guarantee, which will be used by the prince when he goes out of the city."
"Good thing!" Yan Cangling clapped his hand and was very happy. Li Jie won the trust of the emperor and got this thing from him. In the future, he only needs to move a few more hands and feet, and it will be a guarantee for him to leave the city in an upright manner.
With a smile in his eyes, Yan Cangling followed those things and saw the last letter.
"This is the last plan of the son's envoy," Xu Songming said with a smile from the corner of his eyes and brows, "this letter was written by Li Jie when he was in danger that day. It is used to prove that the prince sent troops because of the special situation , if the emperor blames him in the future, this can be used as a basis to get rid of the crime."
Yan Cangling's mouth could hardly contain his smile: "Jing Han, Jing Han, you really gave me a lot of surprises, but..." He suddenly stopped, these three things, if put to others It can be said that it is useless on the body, but if it is placed on him who has a heart for the world, it will be very useful.But why did Ji Linchuan prepare such a thing for him? Could it be that Ji Linchuan saw his treasonous intention early on?
There was a chill in his heart, and Yan Cangling's eyes wandered, showing worry.
Xu Songming's eyes were sharp, seeing that something was wrong with Yan Cangling, he hurriedly added: "My lord, I am sure that Mr. Ji treats you sincerely, so you don't have to worry about it, my lord. As for why he would make such a treacherous plan for you, I'm sure I don't know, but a certain conjecture, um, this conjecture is not very credible..."
"Say," Yan Cangling frowned, "what do you think?"
Le Ziyou glanced at Xu Songming, and said, "Let me tell the story." After finishing speaking, he told the reaction of Li Jie and Ji Linchuan after they met at that time.
"After seeing Li Jie, the young master felt divorced," Xu Songming said, "he also got the heart to stand up and practice walking. I was afraid that you would be distracted, my lord, so I kept it a secret and tried to find a way to hold the young master back. But the young master is determined to leave, and a certain can't hold it back anymore, so Fang has no choice but to let him go."
"You mean, Jing Han is afraid of Li Jie, and it is very likely that Li Jie is the one who brought him here in the first place? Therefore, Jing Han also hates the emperor who supports Li Jie? No," Yan Cangling shook The first said, "Li Jie is patrolling around, Jing Han should not leave the palace in order to avoid him. Otherwise, it would be more dangerous to meet him unexpectedly."
"The young master once said that he left to avoid staying in the palace and harming the prince."
"Damn me?" Yan Cangling seemed to have heard some joke, and laughed, "With my current power, who can harm me, haha...ha..." With a last laugh, Yan Cangling stopped Shu Er opened his eyes wide, and said in astonishment, "No, could it be him?!"
No.40 Chapter Three Fear
"What is it?" Xu Songming and Le Ziyu stretched their necks, full of doubts.
Unexpectedly, after a moment's delay, Yan Cangling retracted his wide-open eyes to their original size, sometimes shook his head, sometimes nodded, hesitating: "No, it shouldn't be him, how could it be him. But if it wasn't for him, Who will it be?"
These unreasonable words made Xu Songming and Le Ziyou's hearts hang, their eyes were fixed on Yan Cangling's mouth, wishing to pry open that mouth and hear a few words of hope.
"No," Yan Cangling let go of his confusion, his face turned cold, and he ordered to Xu Songming, "Go and find out if there has ever been a handsome man like Jing Han beside Li Jie."
"Huh?" Xu Songming was even more puzzled, and asked tentatively, "My lord?"
"You don't need to ask too much, just check it out, remember to check carefully, and don't show your feet."
"Yes." Xu Songming cupped his hands in response.
"Baijin," Yan Cangling picked up the three things and said to Le Ziyou, "Zhongliang's task is too heavy, and I have to leave the rest to you. You send these three things to Qingbo, let him She imitated a token, and asked her to imitate Li Jie's handwriting, and imitate several guarantee letters with the same content. Make sure she pays attention to these things, and don't be careless, otherwise something goes wrong, and we can't afford it Walk around."
"Okay," Le Ziyou suppressed his usual smile, took the three things carefully, wrapped them up heavily, put them in his arms and patted them again, "I will definitely bring the words for you, If I have spare time, I will personally check the progress."
"Ah! There is one more thing," Yan Cangling clapped his palms and continued, "When will Li Jie leave Fangcheng, and where will he go?"
Xu Songming pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then answered the words unhurriedly: "About half a month ago, a certain person has been scouted. After he leaves Fangcheng, he will patrol to the southwest, then to the northwest, and finally return to Beijing."
"Then where is he now? Has he ever been to Nanzhou?"
Xu Songming pinched his fingers and calculated: "When he went to Nanzhou, someone guessed that the prince hadn't arrived in Nanzhou yet, so he probably didn't know about the riots in Nanzhou. Counting the days, he should have arrived in the northwest by now. I will return to Beijing in a short time."
"Well," Yan Cangling nodded, and pondered, "Through the matter of the matching office, I guess Wu Qikang is also taking Ji Chongde's criminal evidence to the capital to claim credit. If this is the case, the two must arrive in Beijing on the same date. Zhong Liang, you send Go and keep an eye on Li Jie and Wu Qikang, and you must find a way to let Wu Qikang go to Beijing before Li Jie and meet the emperor."
Xu Songming went in without knowing it, but he still surrendered.
"Thank you." Yan Cangling flattened the corner of his mouth, turned his head to look at the dark sky outside, his mind was far away, and he was speechless.He didn't know what he was thinking of, but a faint sadness surrounded him, came out from his body, and went to all directions in the room, even a small corner was crowded with his worries.The excitement that had arisen during the conversation just now was overwhelmed by this cloud of gloom, and the atmosphere was so gloomy that it seemed that there was about to be lightning and thunder.
"Stop talking, I'm tired, you guys go back too, I've worked hard for you these days." Yan Cangling brows were filled with tiredness, and he leaned on the table beside him to prevent himself from being sleepy and tilted, happily Azusa hurried forward to support him, and asked in a low voice if he was alright.
Yan Cangling waved his hand at Le Ziyou: "I have been running around for many days, and I have been thinking about plotting against this person and that person all day. I am too tired. I have to take a break during this time, ah!" He nearly closed the door Eyes opened again, the tired and sharp voice was ground into a gentle voice, "No, no, I still have a letter, send someone to send it to Chang Yan quickly, and sleep later, alas."
"Mu Qing, why are you so tired." Seeing that Yan Cangling was about to pick up the pen to write, Le Ziyou took the pen and paper from his hand and said angrily, "Do you want to die, can't you do it tomorrow? See What have you become?"
"No," Yan Cangling's voice was exhausted, and he struggled to snatch the pen and paper back, "This matter cannot be delayed, and it will be safe if it is delivered to Chang Yan as soon as possible. It is done, leave me alone, you go first Get busy."
"Hey!" Le Zi was so irritable that he almost jumped up, but Xu Songming calmed down a little bit, and he held him steady, whispering softly in his ear.In an instant, Le Zi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Songming strangely, then closed the door and left.
The noisy study room became extremely quiet because of the two people's departure. Yan Cangling sighed quietly, and finally diffused along the tip of his nose and returned to his heart. He was never tired. He was busy with the person he cared about, and he was not only busy, but also his brother.The person who can harm Ji Linchuan, if he doesn't find out for a day, he won't be able to swallow that breath for a day.
Now, although Ji Linchuan was able to speak, he held people in his heart and did not dare to uncover Ji Linchuan's scars, so he could only taste the bitterness by himself.
Dong dong dong, there was a short knock on the door, thinking it was Le Zi returning after leaving, Yan Cangling said angrily: "The door is unlocked, let's go in."
With a creaking sound, it was not Le Ziyou who entered the door, but an unexpected person—Ji Linchuan.
Ji Linchuan was holding a three-drawer food box in his hand. The whole body of the food box was made of huanghuali wood, and the complicated pattern of chi and standing teeth crawled on the food box, which was vivid, and it seemed like people were grabbing the food in the food box with their teeth and claws.This food box is cleaner and more luxurious than the one he put in his hand seven years ago, but Yan Cangling looked at it, but he didn't have the slightest appetite. He glanced at it and muttered, "But Bo Jin and Zhong Liang called you here." .”
Ji Linchuan smiled and did not answer. He unhurriedly took out the food from the food box, placed it neatly on the table, and poured two cups of tea.He didn't even say hello, so he lifted his robe and sat with his back facing Yan Cangling, picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip, sipped it slowly, and tasted it carefully.A sip of the rich tea fragrance seemed to add a bit of unusual flavor when he savored it slowly. When it entered Yan Cangling's nose, the aroma became different.
Putting down the teacup softly, Ji Linchuan picked up the bamboo chopsticks, picked up a chicken leg and put it into Yan Cangling's bowl, then picked up his own bowl, and ate quietly, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.
The aroma of rice diffuses in the study room, mixed with the aroma of ink from books, it has a unique taste when it enters the nose.The place where Ji Linchuan was sitting happened to block Yan Cangling's sight, so that Yan Cangling couldn't even see the food, and the smell of raw food entered his nose again, making Yan Cangling salivate, raised his head from the desk, and couldn't help but tempt Stretching his neck, he stared straight at his eyes to see what food was there.
"Well, you are the most important thing, get busy first, it doesn't matter, I also left you a chicken leg. I will eat it for you first, and you will come after eating." Ji Linchuan chewed and dealt with it slowly, with a relaxed tone as if Asking if you have eaten.
I will eat for you first...
I'm afraid that when he eats, there will only be scraps left.No matter how determined Yan Cangling was, he was also defeated by Ji Linchuan's inflexible temptation, murmured a few times, but obediently put down the pen and paper, walked to his own bowl, and started to eat with the chopsticks.
Unexpectedly, Ji Linchuan stopped his movements with a chopstick.His eyebrows sank, and Ji Linchuan stared straight at the ink stains on his hand: "Have you washed your hands?"
"..." Yan Cangling sniffed, stood up and washed his hands obediently, rubbing his hands until his skin was red, Fang walked back to his original position, and when he picked up the bowl, he paused for a moment. In front of Ji Linchuan: "Hey, it's clean, take a look."
"Pfft." Ji Linchuan laughed so hard that he almost vomited his food. A dignified prince listened to him so obediently. Wouldn't it be a joke if he said it.He patted Yan Cangling's hand away, and said with a smile: "It's done, eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while. If you are in a hurry, eat less or eat faster, but don't be hungry. You will be on the road for many days I'm tired too, I'll finish my work in a while, take a bath and sleep as soon as possible."
"Okay." As soon as Yan Cangling took the meal, his stomach, which hadn't felt hungry before, began to growl. He didn't have time to talk, so he picked up a chicken leg for Ji Linchuan, and started to plan the meal by himself.
Ji Linchuan added food to him from time to time, taking care of him meticulously.
Yan Cangling was also embarrassed, touched his cheek embarrassingly, and added more vegetables and rice to Ji Linchuan.During the meal, the two seldom talked, only occasionally chatting for a few words, and then stopped talking—Ji Linchuan obeyed eating without saying a word, and Yan Cangling, who knew his temperament well, didn't talk too much. .
Ji Linchuan was full after a few mouthfuls, put down his rice bowl, took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped his lips.He got up first, and after asking Yan Cangling, he walked to the bookcase behind the desk, and ran his fingers along the spine of the book, looking for the books he was interested in along the way.
Unexpectedly, there are mostly military books here, Ji Linchuan has no interest in it, after only a few glances, he loses interest.He turned around calmly, and by coincidence, his gaze fell on the letter that Yan Cangling was writing, and a person's name caught his eye. In an instant, he took a step back in shock as if he had been shocked by electricity, and almost bumped into the back on the bookcase.
Hearing the movement, Yan Cangling raised his head, and as soon as he saw Ji Linchuan's pale face, he hurriedly dropped the bowl and chopsticks and rushed forward to support Ji Linchuan, and asked in panic, "Jing Han, what's wrong, but what's wrong."
Ji Linchuan's eyes were terrified and he turned his head with his neck stiff. Looking at his own reflection in Yan Cangling's eyes, he yelled loudly again: "Ah! Don't come here, don't come here! No! Don't come here!"
Yan Cangling stopped, and once he took a step forward, Ji Linchuan's voice became louder.
Ji Linchuan was so terrified that he even forgot to run away. He was trembling like a prey being targeted by a hunter. He could only hug his body tightly and retreat to a safe place step by step.Unexpectedly, when he made a mistake with his toes, he hit the stool by the table, and his whole body tilted towards the dishes on the table.
"Be careful!" Yan Cangling yelled, rushed forward, broke Ji Linchuan's body, put himself under him, hugged him with a thud and fell to the ground.
The warm touch came from the touching skin, Ji Linchuan's body shook, and he yelled frantically, pushing Yan Cangling non-stop.
"Jing Han, it's me, Jing Han, Jing Han!" Yan Cangling didn't even care about the pain, holding Ji Linchuan's face and forcing him to face her.
"Look at me, Jing Han, it's me, I won't hurt you, Jing Han Jing Han!"
A sound of Jing Han shook his heart, and finally made the mad Ji Linchuan regain some sanity.The scattered pupils gradually focused on Yan Cangling's worried face.
"Jing Han, it's me, I'm Mu Qing, and I'm Yan Cangling." Yan Cangling tightened his embrace, throwing away the courtesy and righteousness, stroking Ji Linchuan's back again and again, until all the fear in his heart was wiped out one by one. flick.
"It's okay, it's okay." Seeing that Ji Linchuan's breathing gradually became smoother, Yan Cangling softened his voice, slowly let go of his embrace, and restored his calm face to last Ji Linchuan.
"Thank you." Ji Linchuan uttered such a sentence in a neutral manner, but such a simple sentence has already exhausted Ji Linchuan's strength.
"No problem," Gently lifted Ji Linchuan up, and Yan Cangling dusted him off, "It's good that you're fine, I'll take you back to your room to rest, and you'll be fine after a night of sleep."
Ji Linchuan's face was full of guilt, and he opened his lips to say a few words of apology, but the words came to his lips, but he couldn't make a sound, so he could only nod his head slightly, and let Yan Cangling help him back to the room.
Chu looked outside the room for a long while, seeing that the lights in the room had gone off, and Ji Linchuan hadn't made any further movements, Yan Cangling walked back to the study wearily.
What's going on with Ji Linchuan, why Hao Duanduan yelled so loudly?
Although Yan Cangling didn't know the reason, he was certain that it was not caused by the leftover medicine from the nightmare, but by Ji Linchuan's hidden fear in his heart.
Yan Cangling never asked Ji Linchuan a single word, some scars were buried deep in his heart, and there was no need to cruelly uncover them with his own hands.
Yan Cangling sighed and returned to the study.Walking to the table, he picked up the pen and wanted to write a few words, but after the pen touched the paper, he couldn't follow the next stroke.He put down his pen, picked up the letter and read it carefully, not letting go of a single word, recalling Ji Linchuan's reaction just now in his mind, his heart suddenly brightened.
I saw that in this letter with many people's names written, the name of one of them appeared the most and was the most eye-catching.
No.40 Chapter Four · Meeting
The name is simple yet complicated, so simple that you can memorize it with just a cursory glance, so complicated that there are too many details behind it, and the details of the relationship cannot even be counted.
That is a name that Yan Cangling still talks about today - Li Jie.
"Li Jie, Li Jie!" He punched the table with raging anger, with such force that it almost broke the table in two.
At this moment, Yan Cangling wished he could turn into an executioner, and cut off Li Jie's head swiftly with a knife in his hand - only when he saw Li Jie's blood gushing out, his head covered with yellow mud, he would feel the pleasure of being discouraged.
If he had known that Li Jie was related to Ji Linchuan's murder, he should have killed Li Jie long ago.But when calm and calm occupied the main position in the brain, after thinking about it, he should not do anything to Li Jie before he finds out the whole story of Ji Linchuan's murder and sending him to Fangcheng. After all, whether Ji Linchuan was killed by Li Jie, or It is not yet known who was killed by others.
Thinking of this, Yan Cangling's irritability that had subsided during the meal surged up again, swirling in his mind arrogantly.The lips were pressed tightly to form a clear line. Yan Cangling tightened his facial lines, picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the letter that was almost finished, and asked Chang Yan to inquire about Li Jie's news for him.
When he put down his pen, he read the letter several times. After confirming that it was correct, he stuffed it into an envelope and sealed it, and sent it to the capital.
After doing all this, his heart was fixed on that letter again, and he couldn't calm down his restless heart no matter what.He hurriedly washed his body, went to bed, lay down, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.He didn't want to be haunted by nightmares, which made him sleep extremely unsteadily. Sometimes he dreamed of Ji Linchuan's frightened scene, and sometimes he saw Ji Linchuan's pale face. He was obviously so tired that he could sleep on the pillow, but he couldn't fall asleep.Later, he simply didn't sleep, stood up, and recalled everything related to Ji Linchuan from beginning to end.
The long-term exhaustion and the dark drowsiness unexpectedly made his mind sober. Some details that he ignored are slowly emerging in his chaotic mind. He only needs to find that leading line again, and then You can peel the cocoon and take out the key.
"Ah!" He opened his eyes suddenly, and slammed his palm, he knew what he had overlooked!The box that transported Ji Linchuan into Fangcheng back then!No, it doesn't have to be a box, it may be something else that can hold people, for example, a coffin!
Thinking of this, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep anymore, he rolled around happily on the bed, he wanted to rush to ask the guards at the city gate if he had ever seen someone transport a coffin into the city, and then find out the whereabouts of the person who transported Ji Linchuan into the city.
He stayed up until the morning with such an excited heart, and when it was almost dawn, Fang fell asleep in a daze of extreme exhaustion.When the sun was shining brightly in the room, he woke up again, put on his clothes very quickly, drew a portrait of Li Jie with a brush, and immediately called someone to take the portrait of Li Jie to check and transport the coffin to the city Things.Seeing his subordinates leave, he felt relieved, and finally sank after holding his heart all night. After breakfast, he went to Chaolinge to look for Ji Linchuan.
Chaolin Pavilion was originally his bedroom, but after being given to Ji Linchuan to live in, he moved out of Chaolin Pavilion and lived in Yifeng Pavilion next to Chaolin Pavilion, so it was only a few short steps for him to go to Chaolin Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, he came to Chaolin Pavilion, stopped and knocked on the door, but no one answered the door for a long time, his heart skipped a beat, and when he said something bad in his heart, people had already rushed into the door, looking around for Ji Linchuan's figure.
No, no, nowhere.
"Jing Han, Jing Han!" He panicked and rushed into every corner crazily, not letting go of even a little gap that could be hidden. He searched all over, but there was still no trace of Ji Linchuan.
Ji Linchuan left?He sneaked away again...
"Jing Han, Jing Han!"
"What are you yelling about so early in the morning?" The soft voice pierced through the door and pierced straight into the bottom of Yan Cangling's heart, vibrating that trembling string.Yan Cangling was shaken all over, and looked back with unbelievable timidity, the scorching sun was setting on Ji Linchuan's body impartially, drawing a beautiful golden halo.
"Jing Han, you're still here, you're still here!" When the last words were blown to Ji Linchuan's ears, Yan Cangling had already thrown himself in front of Ji Linchuan, stretched out his arms, and hugged him tightly.
"Jing Han, I thought you were gone, I thought you were gone."
"Mmmmmmmm," Ji Linchuan blushed as usual, shifting his face awkwardly, avoiding Yan Cangling's gaze.The warmth came from the touching skin, and also transmitted the uneasy heartbeat to the chest. After hesitating for a while, Ji Linchuan put the bracelet on Yan Cangling's back and patted it lightly, "My father is here, where can I go, unless He's gone too."
"He's leaving?!" Yan Cangling pulled away the embrace abruptly, and chewed the words several times. How could he have forgotten that Ji Chongde would follow him back to Fangcheng because Ji Linchuan was here. If the father and son were both divorced , How can he keep people behind.
"What's the matter?" Ji Linchuan's eyes were as calm as water, with shimmering waves, and he opened a smile, "Could it be that you want to drive us away."
"How could it be?" Yan Cangling responded casually, determined to divert this heavy topic.Ji Linchuan was in a very good mood today, obviously he had forgotten the fear of last night, Yan Cangling smiled knowingly, held Ji Linchuan's palm with his backhand, and took him outside: "Go, I'll take you to relax."
"Mmm, um," feeling hot in the palm of his hand, Ji Linchuan blushed again, staring straight at the hands held by each other, his voice was as soft as a mosquito, "Where are you taking me?"
The body in front of him suddenly paused, and the distraught Ji Linchuan bumped into Yan Cangling's back: "Well, why?" Rubbing the tip of his nose, he walked to Yan Cangling's side, but bumped into a face with wandering eyes.
Yan Cangling hesitated. He turned to face Ji Linchuan, and inserted each other's fingers from between the fingers, one by one, from the tip of the finger to the base of the finger, and then the ten fingers were tightly intertwined, without even giving any air to the gap. , as if leaving such a little gap, the brewing emotions can pour out in it: "I...I..." He hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say a complete sentence in a few words.He wanted to take Ji Linchuan to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in Luoxia Mountain, but the words came to his lips, but he didn't know how to say them.After all, Ji Linchuan didn't know his feelings for him, if he took him there like this again, it would be a bit sudden, what if he was frightened.But thinking about this from the bottom of my heart, the interlocking fingers tightened even more.
Extremely contradictory.
Ji Linchuan was full of doubts, his eyes turned around Yan Cangling Mausoleum several times, and he was so happy in his heart that he laughed and said, "You want to take me to Luoxia Mountain?"
"um, I……"
"My lord!" Being interrupted once again, Yan Cangling has changed from being furious at the beginning to accepting it calmly now. He raised his eyelids and glared at the visitor: "Speak, what's the matter."
The visitor came forward with his hands clasped, bent down and said, "My lord, Wang Bin is here."
"Well, let him go to the living room." Yan Cangling curled his lips to express his displeasure, waved his hands casually to let people go down, and then turned to Linchuan last time, "Jing Han, how is your father's situation, if it's convenient, can you come to the living room to talk, someone wants to see you See."
"Wang Bin? This name sounds familiar." Ji Linchuan asked doubtfully, propping his chin with one hand.
"Of course I'm familiar with it," Yan Cangling held back a smile, "Have you forgotten what I mentioned before, when you see him later, you will recognize him naturally." He pushed Ji Linchuan, "Go find you soon Father."
"Alright." Ji Linchuan smiled back, and turned to look for Ji Chongde.
Yan Cangling slowly exhaled the breath that was on his lips, and Yan Cangling stood on tiptoe to watch Ji Linchuan go far away. With his footsteps on tiptoe, he spun out and reached the living room as fast as he could.
At this time, Wang Bin was already waiting in the living room.He rubbed his hands anxiously, wandering around the living room, from left to right, from right to left, walking back and forth repeatedly, restless.As soon as his buttocks touched the chair, he didn't sit for long, stood up as if he was being burned, and continued to rub his hands in circles.
"My lord is here." With a loud sound, Wang Bin suddenly turned his head and threw himself in front of Yan Cangling. He didn't even bother to salute, so he asked, "My lord, you're back now. How is your lord Shangshu?"
"It's all right, don't worry about it." Yan Cangling waved his hand, walked to the main seat and sat upright, serving tea and drinking leisurely, "Hey, you are sitting too!" He pressed his hand towards Wang Bin, "If you stand up, don't you mean you're going to be superior to me?"
Wang Bin hurriedly sat down, took the tea handed by the maid, and took a sip, but his buttocks seemed to be pierced by needles, and he couldn't sit still and half-leaved from the stool, stretched his neck, and looked around outside——Yan Cangling He thought, if a person could still live by decapitating, this Wang Bin would have cut off his own head without hesitation and hung it outside the living room.
"Look at you, why are you so anxious?" Yan Cangling smiled and nodded at Wang Bin, shaking his head, "Are you afraid that they won't recognize you for a while?"
Wang Bin's face froze, he twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, laughed a few times in agreement, stood up nervously, and walked around awkwardly.
"What's wrong with you." Yan Cangling was very suspicious, "Could it be that you have something to hide from this king."
"No," Wang Bin smiled sarcastically, "It's just that the grass people are a little anxious and want to see the two of them."
"Really?" Yan Cangling stared at Wang Bin with a strange look, "Wang Bin, tell me the truth, what are you worried about and why are you so weird. If you don't tell me, I won't let you see them."
"No, my lord!" Wang Bin was in a hurry, raised his hand and stopped Yan Cangling's hand that was about to give an order, paused for a moment, his eyes wandered for a while, and finally admitted honestly, "My lord, dare the grassroots, can you..." He will His eyes shifted to the maid beside him, with embarrassment on his face.
Weird.
Yan Cangling waved his hand to call people down, and asked again: "Come on, what's the matter?"
Wang Bin sighed helplessly, stood up and bowed deeply to Yan Cangling, opened and closed his lips, and expressed his inner difficulties one by one.
After Yan Cangling heard this, he laughed loudly, rolled his eyes cunningly, and a trick was born in his heart, he beckoned Wang Bin to come closer, and ordered in a low voice.After hearing this, Wang Bin frowned slightly, raised his head hesitantly and asked, "My lord, is this possible?"
"If you are really doing what is good for them, then do as I say." I don't know if it is the truth or a lie, Yan Cangling said without blushing or heartbeat, and vowed, "In short, either don't say anything, or Just say what the king said."
"Yes." Wang Bin did not dare to refuse
Throwing away Le Ziyou, Yan Cangling threw himself on the table, picked up the teapot and poured it into his own mouth, and after dissipating the heat that had just surged up on his cheeks, he calmed down, and then he said, "How did Ji Fuxin return?" thing."
Xu Songming and Le Ziyou looked at each other, he cupped his hands and stepped forward, without answering, he asked: "My lord, I heard that the young master can speak, I don't know if he can tell you his name."
"Ji Linchuan, whose name is Jinghan." Yan Cangling replied.
"Ji Linchuan," Xu Songming frowned, went over the name in his mind, and shook his head, "A certain person was ordered by the prince to check the household registration of the Minister of the Ministry of War and his family tree, and found that there was no such person as Ji Linchuan. As for Ji Fuxin..." He was silent for a moment, and then informed Yan Cangling of his investigation results.
After finishing his speech, Yan Cangling's eyebrows turned into undulating mountains: "That is to say, Ji Fuxin in Wang Bin's mouth is actually a person who has been dead for many years. On the household registration of Ji Shangshu's family, there is no trace of him. As far as the proof of Ji Shangshu having a son, there is no such person as Ji Linchuan?"
"That's right," Xu Songming nodded, and connected the whole thing together in his mind, he glanced at Yan Cangling hesitantly, and continued slowly, "But I guess, since Wang Bin can find out the name of Ji Fuxin, then It's definitely not groundless, I'm afraid someone deliberately misled him into thinking that the young master's name is Ji Fuxin."
"You mean..." Le Zi looked at Xu Songming from the sideways, "Someone deliberately led Wang Bin to misunderstand, but did not explain it, and let Wang Bin misunderstand? Then what's the benefit of doing so."
"There is no record of Ji Fuxin's death in the household registration, and Ji Linchuan is not on the household registration of Ji Shangshu's family, but it turns out that he is indeed Ji Shangshu's son. After thinking about it, I only want to get one possibility. "Yan Cangling raised his head very slowly, staring at the two people in front of him, "It is possible that Ji Shangshu used his power to make people tamper with Ji Linchuan's household registration, and then sent people to let the people who didn't know The crowd mistakenly thought that Ji Linchuan was the dead Ji Fuxin, and Ji Linchuan used Ji Fuxin's identity and name to communicate in the capital."
Xu Songming and Le Ziyou both nodded, agreeing with Yan Cangling's guess.
"Hey," Yan Cangling frowned, and then frowned again, "You just said that Ji Fuxin died seven years ago?"
"good."
"Seven years ago, seven years later," Yan Cangling rubbed his eyebrows, "Why do I always feel that things are too coincidental, it happened to be the year that Jing Han and I met. Died seven years ago, that is to say, seven years ago The former Ji Linchuan is still Ji Linchuan... Zhongliang! Later you send someone to find out what happened to Ji Linchuan seven years ago that made him use the same name as someone else's identity, and when did he change his identity to the same name? It was removed from the household registration. That's right, Chang Yan can be notified to investigate this matter, he is easy to handle in the palace. That's right," Yan Cangling added, "Let Chang Yan investigate from the Minister of the Household Department."
"Mu Qing, what do you mean is that the Household Secretary tampered with Ji Shangshu's household registration?" Le Ziyou added, before Yan Cangling continued, "Thinking about it so carefully, it's really possible. Ji The status of the Shangshu itself is not low. If you want to tamper with the household registration, you can buy others without a few words, and you must be related to powerful people such as the household department Shangshu, otherwise you will never succeed. But what I am curious about is that it is good, Why do you have to go to such lengths to falsify your household registration, and what exactly are you trying to do?"
"You ask me, who am I to ask?" Yan Cangling sighed in frustration, "I can't just rush over and grab Ji Shangshu by the collar and ask, if that's the case, I'm afraid Ji Shangshu will grab a big knife first and chop me up gone."
cut you off...
Xu Songming and Le Ziyou looked up at the sky, thinking about it, and a picture of Ji Shangshu rolling up his sleeves, carrying a kitchen knife, and running along the street chasing Yan Cangling suddenly popped up in his mind.
If he only grabs the collar to ask questions and cuts people with a knife, then if Ji Shangshu knows that his precious son was sold by the two of them in the name of the queen-to-be, wouldn't he want to tear them into pieces.
Suddenly there was a shiver, and the two immediately looked at each other, determined not to say a word about the princess, otherwise Yan Cangling, who regarded Ji Linchuan as a person whom he admired, might pick up a knife and chop off their heads.
Yan Cangling didn't notice the weirdness of the two of them, so he picked up the teapot and poured a few sips of tea into his mouth. After drinking it, he put it down proudly, rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Call Wang Bin to the mansion tomorrow, and tell him that Ji Shangshu has rescued him." Let’s talk about the same thing with him, so that we don’t have a big discrepancy with what Wang Bin said.”
Xu Songming nodded in response, cupped his hands and said, "I'll do it later."
"Very good." Yan Cangling blinked, looked outside at the sky, and found that the sky was getting darker. Just now when Ji Linchuan was making trouble, there was still a little bit of sunset light, but now even the slightest bit of light was covered by the night. went.
After traveling for many days, I went to look for Ji Linchuan again. Yan Cangling was already exhausted, so he yawned lazily and clicked his tongue: "Where are the people I brought back with me?"
Xu Songming replied: "For the time being, they will be placed in the backyard. As for where to go later, we must first test their abilities before we can make a conclusion."
"Very good," Yan Cangling pointed to Xu Songming, and instructed, "You can handle this matter. If you have time, you can go to Baijin and take Le Qi along. Le Qi is very observant, let him see. Which ones are available."
"Don't worry," Le Ziyou patted his palm lightly, vowing, "Leave it on me."
"It's done," Yan Cangling rubbed the center of his brows weakly, and waved his hands, "If there is nothing important, let's do this first. As for other matters, we will deal with them tomorrow."
"My lord! I have something important to tell you." Xu Songming said, leaving behind Yan Cangling, who was walking away. He paused for a moment, and after looking at Le Ziyou, he told Li Jie to come while Yan Cangling was away. In the end, he presented several things to Yan Cangling with both hands.
Yan Cangling glanced sideways, and the first thing was a copy of the token that Li Jie wore with him. This picture was meticulously drawn, and even a small piece of texture was drawn carefully, even the length, width, height and material of the token were also different. Everything is clearly written in the blank space.
"This is the first trick you used to get Li Jie's token." Xu Songming recalled that he had calculated Li Jie at the beginning, and a smile spread across his cheeks.It turned out that when Li Jie threw out the token and asked the groom to run errands to the palace for help, they held the groom back while looking for someone to copy the token.
Yan Cangling's eyebrows raised a touch of interest, and he continued to pick up the second thing to read. It was an extremely simple and scribbled letter. It probably said that today King Yan went out of the city to rescue me. If the emperor blames him, this thing can be used to keep Yan Wang safe.
"This is the second plan that the young master used to obtain this letter of guarantee, which will be used by the prince when he goes out of the city."
"Good thing!" Yan Cangling clapped his hand and was very happy. Li Jie won the trust of the emperor and got this thing from him. In the future, he only needs to move a few more hands and feet, and it will be a guarantee for him to leave the city in an upright manner.
With a smile in his eyes, Yan Cangling followed those things and saw the last letter.
"This is the last plan of the son's envoy," Xu Songming said with a smile from the corner of his eyes and brows, "this letter was written by Li Jie when he was in danger that day. It is used to prove that the prince sent troops because of the special situation , if the emperor blames him in the future, this can be used as a basis to get rid of the crime."
Yan Cangling's mouth could hardly contain his smile: "Jing Han, Jing Han, you really gave me a lot of surprises, but..." He suddenly stopped, these three things, if put to others It can be said that it is useless on the body, but if it is placed on him who has a heart for the world, it will be very useful.But why did Ji Linchuan prepare such a thing for him? Could it be that Ji Linchuan saw his treasonous intention early on?
There was a chill in his heart, and Yan Cangling's eyes wandered, showing worry.
Xu Songming's eyes were sharp, seeing that something was wrong with Yan Cangling, he hurriedly added: "My lord, I am sure that Mr. Ji treats you sincerely, so you don't have to worry about it, my lord. As for why he would make such a treacherous plan for you, I'm sure I don't know, but a certain conjecture, um, this conjecture is not very credible..."
"Say," Yan Cangling frowned, "what do you think?"
Le Ziyou glanced at Xu Songming, and said, "Let me tell the story." After finishing speaking, he told the reaction of Li Jie and Ji Linchuan after they met at that time.
"After seeing Li Jie, the young master felt divorced," Xu Songming said, "he also got the heart to stand up and practice walking. I was afraid that you would be distracted, my lord, so I kept it a secret and tried to find a way to hold the young master back. But the young master is determined to leave, and a certain can't hold it back anymore, so Fang has no choice but to let him go."
"You mean, Jing Han is afraid of Li Jie, and it is very likely that Li Jie is the one who brought him here in the first place? Therefore, Jing Han also hates the emperor who supports Li Jie? No," Yan Cangling shook The first said, "Li Jie is patrolling around, Jing Han should not leave the palace in order to avoid him. Otherwise, it would be more dangerous to meet him unexpectedly."
"The young master once said that he left to avoid staying in the palace and harming the prince."
"Damn me?" Yan Cangling seemed to have heard some joke, and laughed, "With my current power, who can harm me, haha...ha..." With a last laugh, Yan Cangling stopped Shu Er opened his eyes wide, and said in astonishment, "No, could it be him?!"
No.40 Chapter Three Fear
"What is it?" Xu Songming and Le Ziyu stretched their necks, full of doubts.
Unexpectedly, after a moment's delay, Yan Cangling retracted his wide-open eyes to their original size, sometimes shook his head, sometimes nodded, hesitating: "No, it shouldn't be him, how could it be him. But if it wasn't for him, Who will it be?"
These unreasonable words made Xu Songming and Le Ziyou's hearts hang, their eyes were fixed on Yan Cangling's mouth, wishing to pry open that mouth and hear a few words of hope.
"No," Yan Cangling let go of his confusion, his face turned cold, and he ordered to Xu Songming, "Go and find out if there has ever been a handsome man like Jing Han beside Li Jie."
"Huh?" Xu Songming was even more puzzled, and asked tentatively, "My lord?"
"You don't need to ask too much, just check it out, remember to check carefully, and don't show your feet."
"Yes." Xu Songming cupped his hands in response.
"Baijin," Yan Cangling picked up the three things and said to Le Ziyou, "Zhongliang's task is too heavy, and I have to leave the rest to you. You send these three things to Qingbo, let him She imitated a token, and asked her to imitate Li Jie's handwriting, and imitate several guarantee letters with the same content. Make sure she pays attention to these things, and don't be careless, otherwise something goes wrong, and we can't afford it Walk around."
"Okay," Le Ziyou suppressed his usual smile, took the three things carefully, wrapped them up heavily, put them in his arms and patted them again, "I will definitely bring the words for you, If I have spare time, I will personally check the progress."
"Ah! There is one more thing," Yan Cangling clapped his palms and continued, "When will Li Jie leave Fangcheng, and where will he go?"
Xu Songming pursed his lips and thought for a moment, then answered the words unhurriedly: "About half a month ago, a certain person has been scouted. After he leaves Fangcheng, he will patrol to the southwest, then to the northwest, and finally return to Beijing."
"Then where is he now? Has he ever been to Nanzhou?"
Xu Songming pinched his fingers and calculated: "When he went to Nanzhou, someone guessed that the prince hadn't arrived in Nanzhou yet, so he probably didn't know about the riots in Nanzhou. Counting the days, he should have arrived in the northwest by now. I will return to Beijing in a short time."
"Well," Yan Cangling nodded, and pondered, "Through the matter of the matching office, I guess Wu Qikang is also taking Ji Chongde's criminal evidence to the capital to claim credit. If this is the case, the two must arrive in Beijing on the same date. Zhong Liang, you send Go and keep an eye on Li Jie and Wu Qikang, and you must find a way to let Wu Qikang go to Beijing before Li Jie and meet the emperor."
Xu Songming went in without knowing it, but he still surrendered.
"Thank you." Yan Cangling flattened the corner of his mouth, turned his head to look at the dark sky outside, his mind was far away, and he was speechless.He didn't know what he was thinking of, but a faint sadness surrounded him, came out from his body, and went to all directions in the room, even a small corner was crowded with his worries.The excitement that had arisen during the conversation just now was overwhelmed by this cloud of gloom, and the atmosphere was so gloomy that it seemed that there was about to be lightning and thunder.
"Stop talking, I'm tired, you guys go back too, I've worked hard for you these days." Yan Cangling brows were filled with tiredness, and he leaned on the table beside him to prevent himself from being sleepy and tilted, happily Azusa hurried forward to support him, and asked in a low voice if he was alright.
Yan Cangling waved his hand at Le Ziyou: "I have been running around for many days, and I have been thinking about plotting against this person and that person all day. I am too tired. I have to take a break during this time, ah!" He nearly closed the door Eyes opened again, the tired and sharp voice was ground into a gentle voice, "No, no, I still have a letter, send someone to send it to Chang Yan quickly, and sleep later, alas."
"Mu Qing, why are you so tired." Seeing that Yan Cangling was about to pick up the pen to write, Le Ziyou took the pen and paper from his hand and said angrily, "Do you want to die, can't you do it tomorrow? See What have you become?"
"No," Yan Cangling's voice was exhausted, and he struggled to snatch the pen and paper back, "This matter cannot be delayed, and it will be safe if it is delivered to Chang Yan as soon as possible. It is done, leave me alone, you go first Get busy."
"Hey!" Le Zi was so irritable that he almost jumped up, but Xu Songming calmed down a little bit, and he held him steady, whispering softly in his ear.In an instant, Le Zi's eyes lit up, and he looked at Xu Songming strangely, then closed the door and left.
The noisy study room became extremely quiet because of the two people's departure. Yan Cangling sighed quietly, and finally diffused along the tip of his nose and returned to his heart. He was never tired. He was busy with the person he cared about, and he was not only busy, but also his brother.The person who can harm Ji Linchuan, if he doesn't find out for a day, he won't be able to swallow that breath for a day.
Now, although Ji Linchuan was able to speak, he held people in his heart and did not dare to uncover Ji Linchuan's scars, so he could only taste the bitterness by himself.
Dong dong dong, there was a short knock on the door, thinking it was Le Zi returning after leaving, Yan Cangling said angrily: "The door is unlocked, let's go in."
With a creaking sound, it was not Le Ziyou who entered the door, but an unexpected person—Ji Linchuan.
Ji Linchuan was holding a three-drawer food box in his hand. The whole body of the food box was made of huanghuali wood, and the complicated pattern of chi and standing teeth crawled on the food box, which was vivid, and it seemed like people were grabbing the food in the food box with their teeth and claws.This food box is cleaner and more luxurious than the one he put in his hand seven years ago, but Yan Cangling looked at it, but he didn't have the slightest appetite. He glanced at it and muttered, "But Bo Jin and Zhong Liang called you here." .”
Ji Linchuan smiled and did not answer. He unhurriedly took out the food from the food box, placed it neatly on the table, and poured two cups of tea.He didn't even say hello, so he lifted his robe and sat with his back facing Yan Cangling, picked up the teacup, took a shallow sip, sipped it slowly, and tasted it carefully.A sip of the rich tea fragrance seemed to add a bit of unusual flavor when he savored it slowly. When it entered Yan Cangling's nose, the aroma became different.
Putting down the teacup softly, Ji Linchuan picked up the bamboo chopsticks, picked up a chicken leg and put it into Yan Cangling's bowl, then picked up his own bowl, and ate quietly, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.
The aroma of rice diffuses in the study room, mixed with the aroma of ink from books, it has a unique taste when it enters the nose.The place where Ji Linchuan was sitting happened to block Yan Cangling's sight, so that Yan Cangling couldn't even see the food, and the smell of raw food entered his nose again, making Yan Cangling salivate, raised his head from the desk, and couldn't help but tempt Stretching his neck, he stared straight at his eyes to see what food was there.
"Well, you are the most important thing, get busy first, it doesn't matter, I also left you a chicken leg. I will eat it for you first, and you will come after eating." Ji Linchuan chewed and dealt with it slowly, with a relaxed tone as if Asking if you have eaten.
I will eat for you first...
I'm afraid that when he eats, there will only be scraps left.No matter how determined Yan Cangling was, he was also defeated by Ji Linchuan's inflexible temptation, murmured a few times, but obediently put down the pen and paper, walked to his own bowl, and started to eat with the chopsticks.
Unexpectedly, Ji Linchuan stopped his movements with a chopstick.His eyebrows sank, and Ji Linchuan stared straight at the ink stains on his hand: "Have you washed your hands?"
"..." Yan Cangling sniffed, stood up and washed his hands obediently, rubbing his hands until his skin was red, Fang walked back to his original position, and when he picked up the bowl, he paused for a moment. In front of Ji Linchuan: "Hey, it's clean, take a look."
"Pfft." Ji Linchuan laughed so hard that he almost vomited his food. A dignified prince listened to him so obediently. Wouldn't it be a joke if he said it.He patted Yan Cangling's hand away, and said with a smile: "It's done, eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while. If you are in a hurry, eat less or eat faster, but don't be hungry. You will be on the road for many days I'm tired too, I'll finish my work in a while, take a bath and sleep as soon as possible."
"Okay." As soon as Yan Cangling took the meal, his stomach, which hadn't felt hungry before, began to growl. He didn't have time to talk, so he picked up a chicken leg for Ji Linchuan, and started to plan the meal by himself.
Ji Linchuan added food to him from time to time, taking care of him meticulously.
Yan Cangling was also embarrassed, touched his cheek embarrassingly, and added more vegetables and rice to Ji Linchuan.During the meal, the two seldom talked, only occasionally chatting for a few words, and then stopped talking—Ji Linchuan obeyed eating without saying a word, and Yan Cangling, who knew his temperament well, didn't talk too much. .
Ji Linchuan was full after a few mouthfuls, put down his rice bowl, took out a brocade handkerchief and wiped his lips.He got up first, and after asking Yan Cangling, he walked to the bookcase behind the desk, and ran his fingers along the spine of the book, looking for the books he was interested in along the way.
Unexpectedly, there are mostly military books here, Ji Linchuan has no interest in it, after only a few glances, he loses interest.He turned around calmly, and by coincidence, his gaze fell on the letter that Yan Cangling was writing, and a person's name caught his eye. In an instant, he took a step back in shock as if he had been shocked by electricity, and almost bumped into the back on the bookcase.
Hearing the movement, Yan Cangling raised his head, and as soon as he saw Ji Linchuan's pale face, he hurriedly dropped the bowl and chopsticks and rushed forward to support Ji Linchuan, and asked in panic, "Jing Han, what's wrong, but what's wrong."
Ji Linchuan's eyes were terrified and he turned his head with his neck stiff. Looking at his own reflection in Yan Cangling's eyes, he yelled loudly again: "Ah! Don't come here, don't come here! No! Don't come here!"
Yan Cangling stopped, and once he took a step forward, Ji Linchuan's voice became louder.
Ji Linchuan was so terrified that he even forgot to run away. He was trembling like a prey being targeted by a hunter. He could only hug his body tightly and retreat to a safe place step by step.Unexpectedly, when he made a mistake with his toes, he hit the stool by the table, and his whole body tilted towards the dishes on the table.
"Be careful!" Yan Cangling yelled, rushed forward, broke Ji Linchuan's body, put himself under him, hugged him with a thud and fell to the ground.
The warm touch came from the touching skin, Ji Linchuan's body shook, and he yelled frantically, pushing Yan Cangling non-stop.
"Jing Han, it's me, Jing Han, Jing Han!" Yan Cangling didn't even care about the pain, holding Ji Linchuan's face and forcing him to face her.
"Look at me, Jing Han, it's me, I won't hurt you, Jing Han Jing Han!"
A sound of Jing Han shook his heart, and finally made the mad Ji Linchuan regain some sanity.The scattered pupils gradually focused on Yan Cangling's worried face.
"Jing Han, it's me, I'm Mu Qing, and I'm Yan Cangling." Yan Cangling tightened his embrace, throwing away the courtesy and righteousness, stroking Ji Linchuan's back again and again, until all the fear in his heart was wiped out one by one. flick.
"It's okay, it's okay." Seeing that Ji Linchuan's breathing gradually became smoother, Yan Cangling softened his voice, slowly let go of his embrace, and restored his calm face to last Ji Linchuan.
"Thank you." Ji Linchuan uttered such a sentence in a neutral manner, but such a simple sentence has already exhausted Ji Linchuan's strength.
"No problem," Gently lifted Ji Linchuan up, and Yan Cangling dusted him off, "It's good that you're fine, I'll take you back to your room to rest, and you'll be fine after a night of sleep."
Ji Linchuan's face was full of guilt, and he opened his lips to say a few words of apology, but the words came to his lips, but he couldn't make a sound, so he could only nod his head slightly, and let Yan Cangling help him back to the room.
Chu looked outside the room for a long while, seeing that the lights in the room had gone off, and Ji Linchuan hadn't made any further movements, Yan Cangling walked back to the study wearily.
What's going on with Ji Linchuan, why Hao Duanduan yelled so loudly?
Although Yan Cangling didn't know the reason, he was certain that it was not caused by the leftover medicine from the nightmare, but by Ji Linchuan's hidden fear in his heart.
Yan Cangling never asked Ji Linchuan a single word, some scars were buried deep in his heart, and there was no need to cruelly uncover them with his own hands.
Yan Cangling sighed and returned to the study.Walking to the table, he picked up the pen and wanted to write a few words, but after the pen touched the paper, he couldn't follow the next stroke.He put down his pen, picked up the letter and read it carefully, not letting go of a single word, recalling Ji Linchuan's reaction just now in his mind, his heart suddenly brightened.
I saw that in this letter with many people's names written, the name of one of them appeared the most and was the most eye-catching.
No.40 Chapter Four · Meeting
The name is simple yet complicated, so simple that you can memorize it with just a cursory glance, so complicated that there are too many details behind it, and the details of the relationship cannot even be counted.
That is a name that Yan Cangling still talks about today - Li Jie.
"Li Jie, Li Jie!" He punched the table with raging anger, with such force that it almost broke the table in two.
At this moment, Yan Cangling wished he could turn into an executioner, and cut off Li Jie's head swiftly with a knife in his hand - only when he saw Li Jie's blood gushing out, his head covered with yellow mud, he would feel the pleasure of being discouraged.
If he had known that Li Jie was related to Ji Linchuan's murder, he should have killed Li Jie long ago.But when calm and calm occupied the main position in the brain, after thinking about it, he should not do anything to Li Jie before he finds out the whole story of Ji Linchuan's murder and sending him to Fangcheng. After all, whether Ji Linchuan was killed by Li Jie, or It is not yet known who was killed by others.
Thinking of this, Yan Cangling's irritability that had subsided during the meal surged up again, swirling in his mind arrogantly.The lips were pressed tightly to form a clear line. Yan Cangling tightened his facial lines, picked up the pen and wrote a few words on the letter that was almost finished, and asked Chang Yan to inquire about Li Jie's news for him.
When he put down his pen, he read the letter several times. After confirming that it was correct, he stuffed it into an envelope and sealed it, and sent it to the capital.
After doing all this, his heart was fixed on that letter again, and he couldn't calm down his restless heart no matter what.He hurriedly washed his body, went to bed, lay down, and fell asleep with his eyes closed.He didn't want to be haunted by nightmares, which made him sleep extremely unsteadily. Sometimes he dreamed of Ji Linchuan's frightened scene, and sometimes he saw Ji Linchuan's pale face. He was obviously so tired that he could sleep on the pillow, but he couldn't fall asleep.Later, he simply didn't sleep, stood up, and recalled everything related to Ji Linchuan from beginning to end.
The long-term exhaustion and the dark drowsiness unexpectedly made his mind sober. Some details that he ignored are slowly emerging in his chaotic mind. He only needs to find that leading line again, and then You can peel the cocoon and take out the key.
"Ah!" He opened his eyes suddenly, and slammed his palm, he knew what he had overlooked!The box that transported Ji Linchuan into Fangcheng back then!No, it doesn't have to be a box, it may be something else that can hold people, for example, a coffin!
Thinking of this, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep anymore, he rolled around happily on the bed, he wanted to rush to ask the guards at the city gate if he had ever seen someone transport a coffin into the city, and then find out the whereabouts of the person who transported Ji Linchuan into the city.
He stayed up until the morning with such an excited heart, and when it was almost dawn, Fang fell asleep in a daze of extreme exhaustion.When the sun was shining brightly in the room, he woke up again, put on his clothes very quickly, drew a portrait of Li Jie with a brush, and immediately called someone to take the portrait of Li Jie to check and transport the coffin to the city Things.Seeing his subordinates leave, he felt relieved, and finally sank after holding his heart all night. After breakfast, he went to Chaolinge to look for Ji Linchuan.
Chaolin Pavilion was originally his bedroom, but after being given to Ji Linchuan to live in, he moved out of Chaolin Pavilion and lived in Yifeng Pavilion next to Chaolin Pavilion, so it was only a few short steps for him to go to Chaolin Pavilion.
Unexpectedly, he came to Chaolin Pavilion, stopped and knocked on the door, but no one answered the door for a long time, his heart skipped a beat, and when he said something bad in his heart, people had already rushed into the door, looking around for Ji Linchuan's figure.
No, no, nowhere.
"Jing Han, Jing Han!" He panicked and rushed into every corner crazily, not letting go of even a little gap that could be hidden. He searched all over, but there was still no trace of Ji Linchuan.
Ji Linchuan left?He sneaked away again...
"Jing Han, Jing Han!"
"What are you yelling about so early in the morning?" The soft voice pierced through the door and pierced straight into the bottom of Yan Cangling's heart, vibrating that trembling string.Yan Cangling was shaken all over, and looked back with unbelievable timidity, the scorching sun was setting on Ji Linchuan's body impartially, drawing a beautiful golden halo.
"Jing Han, you're still here, you're still here!" When the last words were blown to Ji Linchuan's ears, Yan Cangling had already thrown himself in front of Ji Linchuan, stretched out his arms, and hugged him tightly.
"Jing Han, I thought you were gone, I thought you were gone."
"Mmmmmmmm," Ji Linchuan blushed as usual, shifting his face awkwardly, avoiding Yan Cangling's gaze.The warmth came from the touching skin, and also transmitted the uneasy heartbeat to the chest. After hesitating for a while, Ji Linchuan put the bracelet on Yan Cangling's back and patted it lightly, "My father is here, where can I go, unless He's gone too."
"He's leaving?!" Yan Cangling pulled away the embrace abruptly, and chewed the words several times. How could he have forgotten that Ji Chongde would follow him back to Fangcheng because Ji Linchuan was here. If the father and son were both divorced , How can he keep people behind.
"What's the matter?" Ji Linchuan's eyes were as calm as water, with shimmering waves, and he opened a smile, "Could it be that you want to drive us away."
"How could it be?" Yan Cangling responded casually, determined to divert this heavy topic.Ji Linchuan was in a very good mood today, obviously he had forgotten the fear of last night, Yan Cangling smiled knowingly, held Ji Linchuan's palm with his backhand, and took him outside: "Go, I'll take you to relax."
"Mmm, um," feeling hot in the palm of his hand, Ji Linchuan blushed again, staring straight at the hands held by each other, his voice was as soft as a mosquito, "Where are you taking me?"
The body in front of him suddenly paused, and the distraught Ji Linchuan bumped into Yan Cangling's back: "Well, why?" Rubbing the tip of his nose, he walked to Yan Cangling's side, but bumped into a face with wandering eyes.
Yan Cangling hesitated. He turned to face Ji Linchuan, and inserted each other's fingers from between the fingers, one by one, from the tip of the finger to the base of the finger, and then the ten fingers were tightly intertwined, without even giving any air to the gap. , as if leaving such a little gap, the brewing emotions can pour out in it: "I...I..." He hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't say a complete sentence in a few words.He wanted to take Ji Linchuan to the Xiaoxiang Pavilion in Luoxia Mountain, but the words came to his lips, but he didn't know how to say them.After all, Ji Linchuan didn't know his feelings for him, if he took him there like this again, it would be a bit sudden, what if he was frightened.But thinking about this from the bottom of my heart, the interlocking fingers tightened even more.
Extremely contradictory.
Ji Linchuan was full of doubts, his eyes turned around Yan Cangling Mausoleum several times, and he was so happy in his heart that he laughed and said, "You want to take me to Luoxia Mountain?"
"um, I……"
"My lord!" Being interrupted once again, Yan Cangling has changed from being furious at the beginning to accepting it calmly now. He raised his eyelids and glared at the visitor: "Speak, what's the matter."
The visitor came forward with his hands clasped, bent down and said, "My lord, Wang Bin is here."
"Well, let him go to the living room." Yan Cangling curled his lips to express his displeasure, waved his hands casually to let people go down, and then turned to Linchuan last time, "Jing Han, how is your father's situation, if it's convenient, can you come to the living room to talk, someone wants to see you See."
"Wang Bin? This name sounds familiar." Ji Linchuan asked doubtfully, propping his chin with one hand.
"Of course I'm familiar with it," Yan Cangling held back a smile, "Have you forgotten what I mentioned before, when you see him later, you will recognize him naturally." He pushed Ji Linchuan, "Go find you soon Father."
"Alright." Ji Linchuan smiled back, and turned to look for Ji Chongde.
Yan Cangling slowly exhaled the breath that was on his lips, and Yan Cangling stood on tiptoe to watch Ji Linchuan go far away. With his footsteps on tiptoe, he spun out and reached the living room as fast as he could.
At this time, Wang Bin was already waiting in the living room.He rubbed his hands anxiously, wandering around the living room, from left to right, from right to left, walking back and forth repeatedly, restless.As soon as his buttocks touched the chair, he didn't sit for long, stood up as if he was being burned, and continued to rub his hands in circles.
"My lord is here." With a loud sound, Wang Bin suddenly turned his head and threw himself in front of Yan Cangling. He didn't even bother to salute, so he asked, "My lord, you're back now. How is your lord Shangshu?"
"It's all right, don't worry about it." Yan Cangling waved his hand, walked to the main seat and sat upright, serving tea and drinking leisurely, "Hey, you are sitting too!" He pressed his hand towards Wang Bin, "If you stand up, don't you mean you're going to be superior to me?"
Wang Bin hurriedly sat down, took the tea handed by the maid, and took a sip, but his buttocks seemed to be pierced by needles, and he couldn't sit still and half-leaved from the stool, stretched his neck, and looked around outside——Yan Cangling He thought, if a person could still live by decapitating, this Wang Bin would have cut off his own head without hesitation and hung it outside the living room.
"Look at you, why are you so anxious?" Yan Cangling smiled and nodded at Wang Bin, shaking his head, "Are you afraid that they won't recognize you for a while?"
Wang Bin's face froze, he twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, laughed a few times in agreement, stood up nervously, and walked around awkwardly.
"What's wrong with you." Yan Cangling was very suspicious, "Could it be that you have something to hide from this king."
"No," Wang Bin smiled sarcastically, "It's just that the grass people are a little anxious and want to see the two of them."
"Really?" Yan Cangling stared at Wang Bin with a strange look, "Wang Bin, tell me the truth, what are you worried about and why are you so weird. If you don't tell me, I won't let you see them."
"No, my lord!" Wang Bin was in a hurry, raised his hand and stopped Yan Cangling's hand that was about to give an order, paused for a moment, his eyes wandered for a while, and finally admitted honestly, "My lord, dare the grassroots, can you..." He will His eyes shifted to the maid beside him, with embarrassment on his face.
Weird.
Yan Cangling waved his hand to call people down, and asked again: "Come on, what's the matter?"
Wang Bin sighed helplessly, stood up and bowed deeply to Yan Cangling, opened and closed his lips, and expressed his inner difficulties one by one.
After Yan Cangling heard this, he laughed loudly, rolled his eyes cunningly, and a trick was born in his heart, he beckoned Wang Bin to come closer, and ordered in a low voice.After hearing this, Wang Bin frowned slightly, raised his head hesitantly and asked, "My lord, is this possible?"
"If you are really doing what is good for them, then do as I say." I don't know if it is the truth or a lie, Yan Cangling said without blushing or heartbeat, and vowed, "In short, either don't say anything, or Just say what the king said."
"Yes." Wang Bin did not dare to refuse
