Queen's Detective

"My lord, why did you come so soon?" Ling Ding stood up in embarrassment, absolutely should not have, why did the lord see him.

Li Yan shrugged, but didn't tease him anymore. He looked around and asked, "Where is the number one scholar?"

"He went to the mountain with Lord Guan, and he will come back after a while," Ling Ding said.

"On the mountain?" Li Yan looked back at the Daqing Mountain not far away, and then looked around strangely, "What's the matter with this village? Is this king some kind of scourge? Why are you avoiding me?"

Ling Ding laughed heartily, the famous King of Luoyang actually has today, but he said seriously: "Because you are so good-looking, my lord."

After that, Ding told Li Yan in detail what happened in Daqing Township, and Li Yan was amazed.At this time, the sun had not yet set, Yan Sanbai had not returned, and Li Yan did not go into the mountain, so he sat on the big bluestone at the entrance of the village and waited.It was a hot day, so he shook his fan, crossed his legs, tilted his head and propped his face with one hand, the little golden crown on his head was also tilted, and the few strands of hair at the temples were blown by the wind, swaying willfully.

At first glance, I thought it was a dude from some family who ran out.

But the people in Daqing Township didn't know any Xia Tan, they definitely knew the King of Luoyang. After recognizing them, they all watched from a distance, with excitement and awe in their eyes.

Fox demons, they are afraid.But the emperor is the son of the real dragon, so isn't the king of Luoyang also the son of the dragon?That is much more powerful than the fox demon!

Li Yan also felt that their eyes had finally returned to normal. Not far away, there was a little doll about three or four years old who was being held by his mother, so he smiled and waved.The doll looked up at his mother, who nodded and pushed him lightly, and he came over with staggering small steps.

He wasn't too afraid of strangers, so he ran up to Li Yan and looked up at him, with two braids tied on his head, swaying with his movements.

"What's your name?" Li Yan lowered his head and asked.

"My name is Gouzi." The child's voice was immature and the accent was simple.

Li Yan frowned slightly and shook his head, "No, no, this name is not as nice as Goudan."

The doll tilted her head, "Dog?"

"Yes, or Ergouzi." Li Yan said seriously.

Alone couldn't bear to look straight away, he turned his eyes away, the majestic King of Luoyang, who is so interested in cheating children here, is equivalent to snatching candied haws from others on the street, and no one can control him.

Fortunately, the little baby sniffed the snot and insisted, "I will call you Gouzi."

"Okay, Gouzi, do you know the demon fox?" Li Yan rubbed his face, trying to feel it.

"I know." The baby nodded innocently.

"Then who did you listen to?"

"Listen to what my father and mother said."

Li Yan continued to be persuasive, "Then who did your father and mother listen to?"

The little baby tilted his head to think for a while, then suddenly came up with something, and giggled immediately, "Grandpa Muramasa said it! Grandpa knows a lot of things!"

"Oh~" Li Yan smiled, took out a small red snack box the size of a palm from his bosom, took out a piece of sugar cake and stuffed it into his mouth, "Your reward."

The little baby smiled happily after eating, and walked away bouncing.This scene happened to fall into the eyes of Yan Sanbai who came back from the mountain, blinked, and softly called out, "My lord."

Hearing the voice, Li Yan thought to himself: I'm finally back.But when he turned around, he burst out laughing, "What's that on your face?"

Yan Sanbai was stunned for a moment, and then realized that for the convenience of walking, his face was still smeared with black ash.Touching his nose, "It happened for a reason, the prince laughed."

At this time, Guan Qing stepped forward and bowed, "My lord."

Li Yan waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to be too polite, but his eyes never left Yan Sanbai's face.He casually took out a handkerchief and handed it to Yan Sanbai, "Wipe it, your handsome face is painted black, it will make many people in the world sad."

Yan Sanbai took it, "Why did you come so soon?"

Only then did Li Yan get serious, "Something happened, I want to discuss it with you."

Talk to me?Yan Sanbai paused with his hand to wipe his face, seeing Li Yan's expression, it seemed that it was not a trivial matter.

Things really are not trivial.

The group returned to the Cai family's old house to sit, Li Yanping retreated everyone, and sat alone in the room with Yan Sanbai, playing with the rough teacup made by the farmer, saying: "I was a little surprised to see someone in Yingchuan. "

"Who?"

"Yan Ge is ready."

Hearing this, Yan Sanbai stopped abruptly, slightly surprised, and asked again, "Yan Ge?"

After receiving Li Yan's affirmation, Yan Sanbai fell silent.

Li Yan had a panoramic view of his reaction, and waited quietly for him to digest the news.

Yan Gexing, judging from his surname, is inseparable from Yan Sanbai.But in the northern Yan family back then, the most famous person was not Yan Sanbai's father who was about to succeed the head of the family, but Yan Gexing, Yan Sanbai's uncle, a prodigal son who lived up to his name.

Yan Gexing likes to roam the rivers and lakes, and became famous at a young age, especially in the Western Regions, the reputation of Hero Yan is enough to spread throughout all the palace backyards.

However, everyone thought that Yan Gexing died when the Yan family was destroyed.

But now, he reappeared.

Yan Sanbai thought silently, picked up the teapot and poured a glass of water for himself and Li Yan, "If that person is really my uncle, why didn't he come to me?"

"Maybe he's been looking for you."

"You mean..." Yan Sanbai paused, "Is he here to kill you?"

"clever."

The two understood each other's meaning like a riddle. The assassination that happened in Luoyang City could be known with a little inquiry.And since Yan Gexing was alive, why didn't he come to Yan Sanbai, why did he assassinate Li Yan?

The so-called, whoever comes is not good.

"No matter what, he is my uncle." Yan Sanbai mused, "We will meet sooner or later, I can't make a conclusion too early."

Li Yan looked at him sideways, Yan Sanbai was always so calm as water, no matter frowning or closing his eyes, it was just right, or in other words, it was just right where Li Yan was itching.

Looking at it, it becomes a landscape.

Outside the house, Zhang Yan and Ling Ding squatted in the corner without any image, Zhang Yan poked Ling Ding with his elbow, "What are you princes and Lord Yan doing inside?"

Ling Ding shrugged, "How do I know?" "Your lord seems to be very concerned about Lord Yan." "It's true." Ling Ding felt deeply.

It was rare for the two to find a topic they both agreed on, and they lost themselves a little while chatting, until they felt a chill behind them, Zhang Yan was shocked, and turned around quickly, "Master, sir..." "How is the surveillance going?" Already?" "My lord and Lord Yan haven't come out yet..." "Huh?" Guan Qingci flew over with a sharp eye.Zhang Yan immediately realized that he had made a mistake, because he was too involved in the conversation just now, and quickly changed his words: "The three of them met secretly with the village Zheng's family, and it is estimated that there will be actions soon, and I have already sent someone to watch. "

Guan Qingci nodded, and finally said: "Do more and talk less." "Yes..."

Surveillance soon yielded new results.

The three families were definitely planning something secretly, and the people from Dali Temple also recorded all the movements under Yan Sanbai's entrustment, and bought the things he needed.

In the evening, the willow twigs are on the moon.

Yan Sanbai accompanied Li Yan to drink in the yard, while Guan Qingci leaned against the tree trunk with his sword in his arms, looking like a guard, in Li Yan's words - this is called incomprehensible style.

Suddenly, Yan Sanbai's ears moved, "Here we come."

As soon as the words fell, a rush of sharp shouts suddenly came from outside, "Come here! Help!"

The sound of footsteps and shouts suddenly broke the quiet night. The wind blew past, and the shadows of the trees whirled, reflected in Li Yan's wine glass. He raised his head and met Yan Sanbai's eyes.

At this time, the chaos outside had intensified, with the sound of countless doors closing one after another, chickens and dogs barking at each other, mixed with the yelling of adults and the crying of children.

"What's the matter, why are you making so much noise at night?!" This was a rough man who was woken up for no reason.

"What's going on, what's going on?" This is an impatient young man.

"Don't panic, don't panic, go and call Master Muramasa..." This is an old man who speaks as slowly as he walks.

However, there was a louder woman's scream that overwhelmed all the voices, "Ah——yes, it's a fox! Help!"

At this moment, fear gradually filled the chaotic voices around, Guan Qingci finally raised his eyes, and winked at Zhang Yan, Zhang Yan understood, and immediately led the Dali Temple to disappear into the darkness.

"Fox demon! Be careful not to be caught by him!" The exclamation continued, and the bang bang slamming door reflected the hearts of most people at the moment, but there were still some people who had finally had enough of the fear Feeling, picked up the hoe and lit the torch and walked out of the house cautiously, as if wanting to do something.

Suddenly, a gust of dark wind blew by, and a gleam of fire suddenly lit up by the pond not far away.A man with an ax stared at it with wide eyes, swallowed hard, and bravely walked over.But before he got close, the fire suddenly split again, and this time the man saw clearly, it was faint blue fire!Floating in mid-air out of thin air, like a will-o'-the-wisp!

But at this moment, a white shadow suddenly flashed by the willow tree by the pond, and then there was no movement, a deathly silence.The man was sweating coldly, he didn't know how to advance or retreat, a head suddenly popped out from behind the willow tree, it was so dark that he couldn't see clearly, but the man could see those eyes!Those eyes that seemed to be burning with two ghostly will-o'-the-wisps were staring at him firmly!

"Ghost, ghost!" The man threw away the ax in fright, ran back home in three steps at a time, and slammed the door.

At this time, Yan Sanbai took out the mask he had bought from the people of Dali Temple in the afternoon and put it on, turned his head and nodded to Li Yan, and then jumped out of the courtyard wall.The white figure gradually faded away in the moonlight, the fiery red tassels on the mask fluttered slightly with the night wind, and beside those star-like eyes, the red lines on the mask spread to the surroundings, and a pointed mouth was exposed underneath. .

A farmer holding a torch happened to run past below, and when he saw him jumping over his head, he couldn't help but widen his eyes in shock—"My God, the fox demon! It's the fox demon!"

That's right, the fox demon tonight is Yan Sanbai, or rather, one of them.What about the other foxes?Yan Sanbai didn't need to know, he just wanted to break through this mess that was constantly being cut and straightened!Get effective leads directly from it.

For example, like now, the white hand is bathed in the moonlight, moving forward, seemingly soft but not resisting, grabbing the back collar of the person in front, spraying warm breath on the side of the person's ear, Yan Sanbai gently opened his lips Petal, "Excuse me, the fox is visiting."
