The next day, the sun was warm and the sky was cloudless. It was a good day.

Outside the Jiuzhong Hall, under Tianlan Mountain, a remote dirt road winds and leads to the avenue.

On the side of the road, Chu Yan had already replaced the black and gold-embellished robes and other robes with a navy blue tight-sleeved gown, a jade crown to tie his hair, and a long-lost love sword on his waist. rainbow".

The young Lord of the Nine Layers Palace was born graceful and handsome, so he was dressed like a son and swordsman in the world, and he was also unparalleled in style.

There was the neighing of horses not far away, and Mo Ren led two high-quality horses from behind to Chu Yan's side, quietly glanced at the lord, bowed his head and said, "My lord."

"Ah Ren," Chu Yan raised his eyebrows quietly, "Why don't you look at it openly if you want to see it?"

"..." Mo Ren trembled, his eyes pursed his lips in bewilderment, "...the subordinate offends, and the Lord punishes him."

Chu Yan smiled and waved his hands to comfort him, and suddenly remembered that when they first met, the young Mo Ren knelt on the ground and looked up at him with the courage beyond the sky.

The Hall Master was slightly disappointed, and he didn't know when he would see Ah Ren again...

Behind Mo Ren were ten dark guards in black clothes and black scarves, all of them knelt down to salute Chu Yan in unison.

After Chu Yan teased the guards, he nodded to the hidden guards, and the ten people scattered like ghosts and disappeared.

"Your Majesty, is it true that you don't take other people anymore?" Mo Ren handed over the reins with some worry, "The current strength of this subordinate is at most no more than [-]% to [-]% of that of the previous life. Although the dark guard is brave, he only knows how to fight. As I said, the enemy may be well versed in poisonous techniques, and the subordinates may..."

Chu Yan said slowly: "I know, when I arrived at Changqing, I called Yingdian and asked Fengyu to go back and take her place. Next, if there is any change on Baihua's side, Yingdian specializes in poison and hidden weapons, so it can still suppress him to some extent. , there will be no major mistakes."

Now the timing is really bad, three of the four guardians are outside, and the Nine Layers Hall is empty.He didn't notice it in his previous life, but now Chu Yan can vaguely sense that Bai Hua saw this loophole and slipped in.

"As for those ordinary attendants, it doesn't matter if you don't bring them with you. This trip is to find out the truth, and it's not to fight with other forces. I don't think those ordinary martial arts will be of great help, but will get in the way. It will be enough if you go with Gu Well, the dark guards are just a backup just in case."

Hearing what Chu Yan said, although Mo Ren was worried, he had to give up the idea of ​​wanting Chu Yan to bring more people.

The two masters and servants were lightly dressed and fast horses, leaving the Jiuzhong Hall of Tianlan Mountain after a long absence, and headed towards the Evergreen City amidst the spring scenery.

……

At the same time, inside the Nine Layers Hall.

In the depths of the Lotus Hall, a beauty is at the desk.A piece of rice paper on the desk was densely covered with small characters.

Bai Huasu rolled up his sleeves, dipped his pen in ink.

The bright golden sun sprinkled on his silhouette that slid from his shoulders to his waist. The beauty in white was smiling innocently, her red lips were curled up, and the small dimples on her cheeks seemed to be filled with intoxicating sake.

After the last word fell, Bai Hua put his pen into the inkstone.He held up the letter paper with both hands, patiently and gently exhaled, and dried the ink on it.

While exhaling, his eyes looked out through the carved window again, and whispered softly: "Chu Yan... Moren..."

Chu Yan and Mo Ren left the palace this morning.That Palace Master Chu who always loved him didn't even come to say goodbye to him...

Bai Hua's eyes were dark, and he unconsciously pinched the sachet on his waist with his fingers, and he felt a bit of bad breath.

After all, there will be no major mistakes, Bai Hua thought to himself.He looked away, the letter paper was already dry, so Bai Hua held it by his face, and kissed it lightly with love and reverence.

"Owner."

He sighed softly: "Hua Er... I miss you very much."

Lingering sighs, like the fall of red in spring, quietly scattered in the clean and uninhabited Lotus Hall.

……

Let's talk about Chu Yan and Mo Ren's master and servant.The two calculated the distance and rode the horses, and walked for half a day. At about sunset, they saw the outline of a building in front of a fork in the road.

Going forward, you can clearly see a small, half-dilapidated inn at the intersection, with two floors, and a blue wine flag hanging on a long and thin wooden pole beside it, fluttering in the wind.

The two had a tacit understanding, looked at each other and reined in the horse at the same time.Mo Ren got off the horse first and took the reins of the two horses. Chu Yan glanced at the inn. He didn't go in directly, but took a few steps to the back of the inn, and his eyes stopped in the stable.

In the wide shed, there are more than a dozen horses tethered, and it can be seen from a distance that these horses are sweating profusely and panting.

Mo Ren noticed Chu Yan's gaze following him, thought for a while, and said in a low voice: "My lord, these horses are dressed in various clothes, they don't look like the guards of merchants or rich people, and the government's horses and horses don't live here. A remote inn. It’s not near or far from Changqing, so there may be a lot of people from the rivers and lakes gathered here.”

Chu Yan pondered: "The Shuijinglou case involves a lot, and it is reasonable for some people who smell fishy and want to fish in troubled waters. The inn is full of people, so we can take the opportunity to find out the news... not bad!"

He winked at Mo Ren, stepped into the door of the inn first, and immediately the bustle and bustle inside filled his ears.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and there were a dozen or so tall and strong men sitting around in the lobby below the inn, all of them armed with swords, yelling loudly at Xiaoer to serve wine and meat.

As soon as Chu Yan and Mo Ren, the master and servant, came in, the yelling and shouting of the men in the lobby who were licking blood on the tip of their knives all day fell silent, as if the yelling people were strangled by an irresistible force. Throat.

... The handsome young man in navy blue robe and the pale and indifferent young attendant in black almost attracted most of the eyes.

The shopkeeper, who was busy in front of and behind the counter, couldn't care less. In the past two days, a group of quacks flocked to Evergreen City, which made the inn a lot of money.When the shopkeeper saw another customer coming, he hurriedly ordered a waiter who looked like a thin monkey to greet him.

The little girl came rushing over, her face flushed, and she greeted her with a happy smile: "My lord, hurry up and invite me inside, are you going to be a top student, or staying in a hotel?"

Before the two guests could reply, Xiao Er smiled obsequiously again, and said, "Oh, look at me, it's getting late at sunset in the west mountain, the two masters must be staying overnight? Hey, don't look at Xiao Er. The shop doesn't look good, but the room is very comfortable. And the wine in the shop is also the best..."

Chu Yan was not in the mood to listen to the little girl's self-promotion, and frowned impatiently.Mo Ren understood, and with a flash of silver light in Yang's hand, a silver ingot landed on the counter with a "boom": "Two upper rooms."

——Hiss, he is a martial artist!

The gazes of the men in the hall became even more strange. They glanced at the Qingjuan body of the black-clothed attendant, perhaps guessing that such a pale and thin young man could be a bit of a real guy.

That Xiao Er's spine was numb, and he didn't dare to make jokes with a playful face anymore, and hurriedly nodded and bowed in response, "Ah yes, yes yes yes..."

We all know that these knights in the rivers and lakes spend a lot of money, but one is not good. Annoying this kind of person is a disaster of death, so don't be careless.

The shopkeeper hurriedly took two copper keys from the upper room and handed them over, and seeing that the young man in the navy blue gown didn't seem to like making noise, he asked tentatively, "This... two masters, are you going to send the wine and food to the upstairs room? "

"No need," Chu Yan pulled Mo Ren's wrist, caressed it unconsciously, and led him to the seats in the lobby, "The hall is so lively, I just want to join in."

As soon as these words came out, those men looked at them with sharper eyes.

Joining in the fun, I'm afraid it's far from the excitement of the hall, and the excitement of the murder case at the Shuijing Building in Changqing City.

Several people have already started whispering in the ears of their accomplices, guessing the identities of the two people, and some people hold the hilt of the sword, thinking about whether they can try it out.

It was the skinny waiter again who led the two to sit down at the table and presented the menu wrapped in red satin.

Unexpectedly, the handsome young man who looked like the master actually threw the menu card to the silent attendant without even looking at it.

And since entering the inn, the attendant, who had shown great respect to the young master, didn't shirk, simply glanced at the menu, reported several dishes with ease, and was about to hand the menu back to Xiaoer.

"Wait a minute." The young master raised his eyebrows, slipped out a sapphire folding fan from his sleeve, and clasped the menu plate: "Ah Ren, you order all the flavors I'm used to, don't you have nothing to like? "

The attendant was stunned, immediately shook his head, and responded obediently: "I am grateful to the Lord for his concern, and my subordinates dare not choose food."

The young master frowned again, and then reluctantly let go of the menu card, Xiao Er heaved a sigh of relief, and hurried to greet him.

After a while, all the food and wine were served.

Mo Ren said in a low voice: "This subordinate serves the dishes for the master." Then he got up habitually and stood beside Chu Yan.Chu Yan grabbed him, pushed him back to his seat, and said displeasedly, "What's the matter, sit down."

"..." Mo Ren was blocked by his master, so he had to sit back silently.Unexpectedly, before he could sit still, Chu Yan smiled and took the chopsticks to hold the food, and stretched it out in front of him: "Is there really no taste you like? Then this hall... oh, I have to try it myself."
