Queen's Detective

"I want to find him, but I don't believe he's dead." Guan Qingci's eyes were determined, but he didn't waver at all.

Yan Sanbai slowly withdrew his gaze from the green hill, and said: "I still say that, Luo Sha is dead. But if you insist on looking for it, I have no right to stop it, but you must know that there is little hope."

Hearing such an affirmative answer, Guan Qingci's eyes flashed a faint disappointment, but those blade-like brows remained unyielding, "I want to see people when I live, and I want to see corpses when I die."

After finishing speaking, Guan Qingci cupped his fists at Yan Sanbai, turned around and left without disturbing him.

Yan Sanbai looked at his back, suddenly feeling a little sad.The coolness on the fingertips persisted for a long time, and the stomach suddenly began to churn, and a familiar feeling of nausea came to my heart.

He took a deep breath, and the fresh air in the mountains made him feel much more relaxed.And at this moment, a hand was on his shoulder.

"Zhuang Yuan Lang?"

This familiar frivolous tone left Yan Sanbai with no time to think about why he had become so defenseless. When he turned around and saw Li Yan's face, he suddenly felt a little more at ease.

However, Li Yan's face turned serious, "What's wrong with you? You don't look very well."

Yan Sanbai shook his head and said Wuhai, but Li Yan grabbed his hand and touched the cold fingertips, his slender phoenix eyes narrowed, "Is this also called Wuhai?"

It would be unsightly for two big men to hold hands, but Li Yan's palm was very hot, just like the red clothes on his body, like a ball of scorching fire.The fire melted away the coldness of Yan Sanbai's fingertips, and made him reluctant to let go.

Li Yan frowned again, he raised Yan Sanbai's hand and rubbed it carefully, the seemingly white and flawless palm was not smooth at all to the touch.There are calluses everywhere on the palm and between the fingers, and there are some uneven scars. The scars have faded, but the touch is still there.

Being looked at by Li Yan in this way, Yan Sanbai couldn't help but feel a strange feeling in his heart.In his opinion, this movement is probably done by men when they feel sorry for their loved ones, and it would be strange to use it on him, so he withdrew his hand with a twist of his wrist, "Could it be that the prince can read palms?"

With his hand taken away, Li Yan frowned slightly.He rubbed his fingertips, it seemed that Yan Sanbai's body temperature still remained on it, and there seemed to be something stirring in his heart.

Thinking of this, he carefully looked at Yan Sanbai's eyebrows and eyes again.

Staring at him like this, his heart was frank, or he had no intention of hiding his heart at all, but Yan Sanbai was embarrassed.Because Li Yan didn't hide it, didn't he feel it all?

This feeling is not good, even a little dangerous.

It's not like Yan Sanbai didn't feel this way before, but this time it's different, Li Yan is not an easy person to deal with.

At this moment, Yan Sanbai saw a young man with a basket on his back finally walking on the mountain road in the distance, he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said, "My lord, Fusheng is back."

However, at this time Li Yan had already confirmed it, with a smile on his lips, he waved his fan leisurely, raised his eyebrows, and said something inexplicably, "It seems that I found that jade pendant in Tianqi Palace, it was God's will .”

Yan Sanbai looked at the sky, he didn't know anything about God's will.

Seeing Yan Sanbai standing at the entrance of the village, Fusheng trotted over. The young man was still in high spirits, and the burden of life did not leave the slightest trace on his face.

"Hey." Fu Sheng waved his hand to greet them, Yan Sanbai also responded with a smile, but thinking of what to say next, that smile couldn't be cheerful no matter what.

They walked back side by side all the way, Li Yan followed behind, strolling in the courtyard with hands behind their backs.

Telling a strange story in a gentle tone, from Yan Sanbai's mouth, mourning but not hurting.

Fusheng listened all the way, his face changed several times, but he was not as shocked as outsiders imagined, he shook his head, clenched his fists and tried to calm his breath, "Although what you said may be true, but I will Still can't accept it."

Yan Sanbai did not persuade, but said: "You have the right to know the truth, so I tell you, but life is your own, and you have the right to choose what kind of path to take. Your mother certainly did not want you to be born. You are tired of life."

In fact, Fu Sheng's heart is far less peaceful than it appears on the surface. His previous life was so ordinary, but the story is so tortuous and full of suffocating despair.If he is really that daughter's son, he doesn't know how he should continue to live here.

Fu Sheng hesitated and stopped, suddenly he didn't know how to go home and face his mother on the sick bed.The mother he has called for more than ten years is not the real mother?He couldn't help but look at Yan Sanbai and asked, "What should I do?"

Yan Sanbai bent slightly, put his hands on his shoulders, looked at him with his eyes, said gently but firmly: "Live well, and then, get out of this big green mountain."

In the future, we must go out of Daqingshan, this is the heroic ambition that the young man once said in front of Yan Sanbai.Now he was confused, Yan Sanbai returned the words to him.

If there is any hope in that story, it is Fu Sheng.He was born with all the hope of that woman, blessed and loved.Yan Sanbai thought to himself, may the disaster never last, and may the true love stay in the world forever.

Fu Sheng lowered his head, seemed to be thinking and struggling.

Yan Sanbai's gentle voice continued, "Why don't we make an agreement, three years later, I will wait for you outside Daqingshan."

"Are you serious?"

"a man of his words."

Fu Sheng finally showed a little relief in his eyes. In the confusion, he seemed to see a point where he could move forward. He nodded heavily, "Then we can talk about it."

The agreement was thus reached, like a seal, re-stabilizing the young man's crumbling heart.In fact, the agreement itself is not very important, but life is a long way, and no matter how strong a person is, sometimes he needs others to push him.

When the sun was setting, the Dali Temple was ready, and the group set off for the county government.

When he was about to walk out of the village, Li Yan asked, "Where are you going next?"

Yan Sanbai had the idea of ​​parting ways in his heart, and he had already thought up his words, "I plan to go to the Western Regions."

"That's it," Li Yan said, "Then let's go to the south of the Yangtze River by boat together tomorrow."

and many more.

"I'm going to the Western Regions." Yan Sanbai reiterated.

Li Yan raised his eyebrows, "I was assassinated by your uncle a few days ago, and now I'm in charge of the Chen family's affairs, and I don't know how many people are going to kill me. When I go to Jiangnan, the forces of all parties are intertwined. You are really willing to let me go alone." ?”

Yan Sanbai: "I..."

Li Yan: "That day you said you would not abandon the king, why did you break your promise today?"

Yan Sanbai: "..."

At this moment, the talented champion Lang was speechless.

Because what Li Yan said was always right.

Thinking about it carefully, Yan Sanbai was really worried about letting Li Yan go to the south of the Yangtze River alone, if there was another master like Yan Gexing... not afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

Thinking of this, Yan Sanbai had no choice but to compromise, "Okay, I will follow you to the south of the Yangtze River. When I send you back to Chang'an in the future, I will go to the Western Regions."

In fact, going to the Western Regions was just a pretense, Yan Sanbai just wanted to find an excuse to leave and investigate Qiu Chan's people and Yan Gexing by himself.

As for Li Yan, he didn't take Yan Sanbai's declaration of the Western Regions to heart at all. Anyway, next time, there will always be other reasons to keep Yan Sanbai. The beloved King of Luoyang is not worried.

The group quickly left the village, crossed the newly repaired wooden bridge, and came to the slightly wider official road.

Everyone was familiar with Li Yan and Yan Sanbai always getting together, but at this moment, there was a clear shout from behind, and when everyone turned their heads, they saw Fusheng running to the wooden bridge panting, vigorously waved at them.

Say goodbye to you with a promise.The boy in coarse clothes had firm and bright eyes, sniffed and watched them drift away.

Yan Sanbai stopped and bowed his head like a scribe to salute, he knew that the boy also wanted to be the number one scholar.

Ling Ding covered his forehead with his hands and looked into the distance. Looking at the young man who was waving his hands vigorously, he said with emotion in his heart, "Don't bully the young man to be poor, why are the young men nowadays so powerful?"

Li Yan also seemed to recall some memories, the corners of his mouth curled up, and a few strands of hair on his sideburns swayed with the breeze.

"Still growing old," he said.

Yan Sanbai at the side turned his head, looked at him quietly, and a smile gradually leaked from the corner of his mouth.

At the same time, surrounded by mountains thousands of miles away, the Yaowang Valley, which is like spring all the year round, welcomes two more uninvited guests.

The little apprentice with a bun face raised his head and asked his master, "Master, is this the Valley of the Medicine Kings? It doesn't smell like medicine."

The master looked at the stupid little apprentice and said, "Your brother always dresses like a big red cherry, do you smell the cherry on him?"

"No." The little apprentice shook his head, then nodded half-understood, "I seem to understand, Master."

Master touched his head to show his comfort.

This pair of master and apprentice is naturally Qiu Xuzi and Nanzhu from Chunting Temple. After they left Yingchuan, they headed south all the way and finally arrived here.Facing the detached and respected Yaowang Valley, Qiu Xuzi went in with his little apprentice as if he had returned to his own home.

Medicine King Valley is very quiet, with lush flowers and trees along the way, but no one is seen.Nanzhu looked around curiously, and when he saw some strange plant, he opened his eyes wide, tugged on Master's sleeve and asked him what it was.

Qiu Xuzi always pointed him out like an outsider, there was no way, the apprentice was already so stupid, a master could never give up on him.

The two asked one by one and explained to the other that the major business of teaching was in full swing, but suddenly an angry voice sounded, "Qiu Xuzi, you stinky old man, why are you here again! The dead bald donkey just left and you came back!" , did you agree to come over and cheat my Baihuaniang?!"

"Huh?" Qiu Xuzi looked up, and saw a chubby old man running over, his eyes lit up, "Has this year's Baihuaniang been brewed?"

The old man stopped abruptly, and looked at Qiu Xuzi suspiciously with his small eyes, "You old man, didn't you come here for my wine?"

"Hehe." Qiu Xuzi with fluttering white hair, said with a chuckle, which was Fengshen and handsome.

The old man almost fainted, and secretly scolded himself for being so cheap, and said it outside without knowing it. This is a terrible situation, and the newly opened jars of wine can no longer be kept.

"Master, master, who is he?" Nanzhu asked, pulling Qiu Xuzi's clothes and hiding half of his body behind him.

"This is the owner of Medicine King Valley, Medicine King Yin Zhong, Nan Zhu, you can just call him Uncle Yin."

Nanzhu blinked, and immediately called out obediently, "Hello, Uncle Yin~"

Yin Zhong was very helpful with this, he gave Qiu Xuzi a look, and finally invited him in.Anyway, if you don't invite, people can't drive you away.

Yin Zhong took them to a small courtyard full of bamboos, and soon, the disciples of Yaowanggu brought the newly opened Baihua Niang. He stared straight at the wine jar.

But Yin Zhong covered the wine jar with a fat hand, and said: "Smelly old man, if you want to drink my wine, you have to tell me why you are here this time, you are going to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing."

Qiu Xuzi waited for his words, "I came to ask you about someone."

"Who?"

"Yan Sanbai."

"Yan Sanbai?" Yin Zhong raised his eyebrows, "What do you want him to do?"

"It's about my apprentice, and the secret must not be revealed." Qiu Xuzi said inscrutablely, "I heard that the descendants of the Yan family disappeared for ten years, and when they reappeared, they were in this Valley of the Medicine King. Things, you should know the most clearly, right?"

"You have to keep secrets, why should I tell you?" Yin Zhong's eyes narrowed, "I'm the one who said the ugly things first, old man, Yan Sanbai walked out of my medicine king's valley Man, my prospective son-in-law, if you do anything to him, I, Yin Zhong, will not agree."

Qiu Xuzi spread his hands, "When did you see that I have hurt someone, and that child is now with my apprentice, so I can't ask any more questions?"

"Is that the King of Luoyang?"

"Yes, I'm just two apprentices."

"The royal family doesn't have any good things. I really don't know why you accepted Li Jie's son as an apprentice."

Qiu Xuzi smiled and didn't explain, "Anyway, he is my apprentice now, just like my own son, Yan Sanbai, are you going to say nothing about it?"

Yin Zhong thought for a while, and said: "I can't say anything else, and I have nothing to say, but when Yan Sanbai appeared in my Medicine King Valley, his body was deeply poisoned, and it took me a lot of effort to rescue him. , As for where he has been and what he has experienced in those ten years, you know the rules of my medicine king valley. Healing patients depends on eye contact, regardless of background, so I don't know. If you want to know, you can ask yourself. That kid is kind-hearted, maybe he will tell you."

"What you said is tantamount to talking in vain."

"I love to listen, but if you don't listen, cover your ears."

Qiu Xuzi shook his head, and instead of fussing over him, he grabbed the wine jar and drank it himself.

Yin Zhong became more and more curious as he thought about it, and couldn't help asking: "Aren't you a magic stick? Why, did you figure out something this time?"

Qiu Xuzi glanced at him and said, "There are many secrets hidden in Yan Sanbai."

Yin Zhong nodded quickly, "Yes, and then?"

Qiu Xuzi glanced at him again, "Anyway, I know he won't be your son-in-law."

Yin Zhong was furious when he heard it, "Why? What's wrong with my Medicine King Valley? How about being rich like an enemy! And my daughter is beautiful, who can compare to her, tell me!"

Qiu Xuzi shook his head, his white hair fluttering slightly, still looking like a fairy, "The secret of heaven must not be revealed."
