Maung-mei is wrong
Chapter 5
After that, everyone rode their horses back to the city, and the evening breeze blew along the way, blowing away a little of the dullness of the sacrifice.
On the way, I don't know who opened the chatter box. Everyone chatted with each other, and Nie Yunhan added a few words, and his mood gradually improved.
Compared with being helpless for two years in prison, now he can finally do something for his adoptive father, he feels much more relieved, but——
Nie Yunhan silently glanced at Zhuo Yingxian, and saw Zhuo Yingxian following him, seeming to be listening carefully to everyone's chat, his expression was curious rather than prying.
This Lord Zhuo has a big heart, Nie Yunhan thought to himself, even though he just heard that the purpose of my trip was revenge, he didn't say anything to stop me, isn't he afraid of missing his emperor's life?
When I arrived at the Dusi Yamen, I saw three carriages lined up at the door, and there were small officials carrying boxes on the carts, so busy.
Xiang Yushu said quickly: "There are so many cars, is there a nobleman here?"
Nie Yunhan said triumphantly: "You are us! I have already discussed with the commander earlier. This time, it is not appropriate to make a publicity about the traces of Haqin and others. We will pretend to be merchants and go all the way to the inland. There are some commodities in the car. Blindfolded, our old equipment is in the car in the middle."
"Old equipment?!" Xiang Yu Shu shouted excitedly, "Is my 'gill' also there?"
Zuo Hengqiu also came alive: "Where's my 'iron ear'?!"
Wan Lifeng followed closely, his eyes sparkling: "Is my firing bow back?"
Zhuo Yingxian had only heard Nie Yunhan mention "gills" and "wings" before, but he didn't expect "iron ears" and "continuous bows". Dao said that maybe the medical officer didn't need any special weapons, but he really wanted to see them.
Nie Yunhan grabbed Xiang Yushu who was eager to jump into the car: "Everything is there, there is plenty of time to look on the road. After a while, Mr. Zhuo will pretend to be a rich businessman, and I will pretend to be a bodyguard, and Yushu will pretend to be a bookboy when he is young—"
"I don't!" Xiang Yu Shu was reluctant, pulling his hair, "I don't want to wear that bun! I'm so stupid!"
Zhuo Ying thought about the double buns that the book boy used to comb, and Xiang Yu Shu's immature but already resolute face, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Wan Lifeng hooked Xiang Yushu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Sister Feng will help you comb, I guarantee you will be delicate and refined."
Xiang Yu Shu pouted: "Brother Han, you are not righteous!"
"They're all our own people, why are you ashamed?" Nie Yunhan smirked, and then continued, "Sister Feng and Yansheng pretended to be a handyman couple, and Brother Zuo pretended to be a groom. Lord Song prepared clothes for us, and everyone will go in and change later. Alright, let's say goodbye to Lord Song together."
Everyone followed the little official into the yamen, those who should change went to change, and the others waited in the main hall.
The little official went to Nie Yunhan's house to help him pack up the things, and now they have delivered them. He pulled out a small cloth bag from his baggage, held it in his hand, squeezed it, opened it for a look, and put it in with a smile on his face. into his arms.
After a while, Wan Lifeng changed into her women's clothes, put her hair up in a bun, dressed like an ordinary woman, and walked to the door, holding a person who refused to show up.
"Oh, it's not ugly to say anything!" Wan Lifeng tugged vigorously, and pulled Xiang Yu Shu out.
Several people in the hall looked out and saw the child's attire, Zuo Hengqiu and Dai Yansheng both suppressed laughter, but Nie Yunhan was not kind, and with a "puchi", the tea in his mouth sprayed all over the floor, and then pointed at the child. He laughed.
The book boy doesn't have to wear double buns, but Wan Lifeng also wanted to play tricks on Xiang Yu Shu, so he insisted on combing him like this, so standing in front of the crowd was a tall, tall man wearing an emerald green coarse cloth shirt. A big and thin "girl", with red strings wrapped around her two hair buns, matching the green clothes, so festive.
Xiang Yushu was annoyed: "I don't pretend to be a book boy! I won't even pretend to be dead!"
"I'm not laughing at your hair, what I'm laughing at is your shirt." Seeing Xiang Yu Shu reaching out to grab the bun, Nie Yunhan hastily stopped him, "Who prepared these clothes? It's so green and you're so tall. Wearing it is as tall as you are." It looks like a big knife mantis, with the two claws on the top of the head, it looks like two eyes..."
He couldn't hold back again, he pursed his lips until his face turned red, and he was so angry that he smoked at Yu Shu's seven orifices.
"I won't wear it! I want to change it! I used to have pretty good clothes!" Xiang Yu Shu didn't care about his bun, blushed and began to pull his belt thickly.
Song Mingchong came out of the back hall when he heard the sound, with his hands behind his back and his face sullen: "What's the noise?! How decent is it?!"
When everyone saw the officer, they were all as quiet as a chicken, saluting together.
Song Mingchong glanced at them, and snorted: "It's so noisy, do you think it's a spring outing?!"
Nie Yunhan crossed his legs and was not stingy: "We have our heads tied to the waistband of our trousers. We are happy every day. We don't know how to be serious. I made adults laugh. I'm really sorry."
Song Mingchong was too lazy to talk nonsense with him: "Where is Master Zhuo?"
"He's a handsome young man, don't dress up properly, what are you in a hurry for?" Nie Yunhan shook his legs unsteadily, turned his head and swept towards the door, his eyes widened and he was stunned.
Zhuo Yingxian was standing at the door, he didn't wear any silk or satin, just a rough moon white robe with narrow sleeves, no extra accessories, only a piece of ancient white jade on his waist.
He is tall and thin, like a young man's skeleton, like a handful of beautiful bamboo, thin and powerful, with both rigidity and softness, set off by the white moon, he looks fresh and refined.
The young man's complexion is cold and fair, and he has a pair of round cat's eyes, his face is taut and unrevealed, and those eyes also have their own streamer, which looks shimmering and shining under the lamp.
At this moment, in Nie Yunhan's eyes, he is like a banished fairy, who cannot tolerate any frivolity.
In his life, he has seen too many nasty things. When facing beautiful things, he wants to protect and cherish them from the bottom of his heart. When he sees such a beauty, he immediately feels pity in his heart.
It's just that everyone in the "Red Anaconda" rolled their eyes when they saw his appearance, Wan Lifeng coughed twice, and said softly, "Old Nie, wipe your saliva."
Nie Yunhan came back to his senses: "This clothes..."
"Is it done?" Zhuo Yingxian lowered his head and looked at himself, "I only have this set of clean clothes left, I don't know if I look like a young man?"
Led by Song Mingchong, everyone praised him one after another.
"Master Zhuo was born rich and honored, so he naturally looks like him."
"Lord Zhuo is the son of a rich family, why pretend to be?"
"Yes, yes, the richness that cannot be concealed by coarse linen clothes."
Nie Yunhan got up and walked around in front of him, but shook his head: "No."
Zhuo Yingxian frowned: "What?"
"Ah Xian, you really look extravagant, but this outfit is too plain!" Nie Yunhan looked him from head to toe, "How can I only use a kudzu scarf for my hair bun? At least it should be matched with a golden jade hairpin crown."
Nie Yunhan looked around, stared at the golden hairpin crown on Song Ming's head, and said sadly, "Master Commander, are you willing to donate the crown to the country?"
Song Mingchong: "..."
After much tossing, Nie Yunhan finally took off Song Mingchong's hair crown, replaced it with Zhuo Yingxian, looked around, and expressed his satisfaction.
Then he blinked and looked at Song Mingchong with a smile: "My lord, give us a fan."
The commander whose hair bun was torn apart made the gentleman tremble with anger: "...Don't go too far! I'm all big soldiers here, where can I get fans?!"
"Okay, okay, we'll buy it ourselves when we arrive in town tomorrow." Nie Yunhan looked at Zhuo Yingxian, "Sister Feng, bring the feather book to buy later, remember to buy a set of clothes for you, it's not suitable to wear small sleeves, you still have to wear them." Wide sleeves, something silky or slippery, the more expensive the better, it will show your identity."
Wan Lifeng responded readily, but Zhuo Yingxian frowned: "It's too extravagant, how can there be so much money?"
Nie Yunhan was puzzled: "The imperial court didn't allocate funds to Tie Hewei? Why can't we let our red boas go barefoot?!"
Zhuo Yingxian pursed his lips and remained silent, while Song Ming glared at Nie Yunhan: "The money I stole from me is not enough for you?! Don't waste military expenses in the name of disguise!"
"It's called being cautious! You all speculate about me!"
Aggrieved, Nie Yunhan took out the cloth bag stuffed in his bosom earlier, took out a green jade ring from inside, pulled Zhuo Yingxian's hand again without any explanation, put it on his ring finger, and looked at it with satisfaction, "Fortunately, the size is right Appropriate, just rely on this makeup to look extravagant!"
The ring was emerald green with a warm luster, matched with Zhuo Yingxian's slender fingers and jade-white complexion, it complemented each other perfectly, that hand immediately no longer looked like the hand of a knife holder, but became the hand of a nobleman.
Xiang Yushu looked straight at him: "Brother Han, is this Lantian jade? You still have such valuable jewelry? Where did you get it?!"
"This is a family heirloom left by my mother to marry my daughter-in-law!" Nie Yunhan was not without pride, "I am usually a treasure."
Zhuo Yingxian didn't know whether it was "daughter-in-law" or "family heirloom" which made Zhuo Yingxian feel awkward. He hurriedly took off the ring: "This thing is too expensive, Brother Nie, you should put it away carefully..."
Nie Yunhan pressed his hand, and smiled nonchalantly: "I probably won't have the chance to marry a wife in my life, so it's good if it can come in handy this time. You know how precious it is, so take good care of it, and don't be hypocritical with me."
Seeing Zhuo Yingxian's embarrassment, Wan Lifeng whispered in Dai Yansheng's ear: "Lao Nie is trying to confuse Master Zhuo, right? It's a pity that he doesn't go on stage."
Dai Yansheng curled his lips, and said with a sneer, "This time he has seized the opportunity to spread his virtue."
Song Mingchong sent them to the gate of the yamen, pulled Nie Yunhan over and told him attentively: "Cooperate well with Mr. Zhuo, and don't act privately. This time is an opportunity given by the higher-ups, so don't make such a waste of effort."
Nie Yunhan looked stern, and cupped his hands at Song Ming: "Nie usually acts like a mirror, but his heart is like a mirror. Since Mr. Song took office, he has taken good care of Nie, and he is always in his heart. I will never forget it."
"You don't need to remember, take care of yourself and your brothers." Song Mingchong sighed, "I'll wait for your safe return."
Everyone took their own equipment and baggage, and took three carriages.Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian are in the first car, Dai Yansheng and Wan Lifeng are in the second car, Xiang Yushu and Zuo Hengqiu are in the third car.
The sky was full of dark clouds and the moon was hazy. With the sound of the whip, the three carriages moved forward slowly.
The horse's hooves stepped on the stone slabs, making a crisp hoofbeat, and the kicks changed from slow to fast. The carriage drove away all the way, disappearing from Song Mingchong's sight.
According to the information provided by Zhuo Yingxian, Haqin and others once haunted the central part of Dayao. Tangzhou Mansion is located in the southeast of Dayao. Therefore, Nie Yunhan and his party set off from the north gate of the city and headed north as planned, following Haqin's previous appearance. Find clues along the way.
A few people in brocade clothes walked at night, bumping and running all the way.
At first, Nie Yunhan was driving outside, so Zhuo Ying was allowed to rest in the car.At midnight, Zhuo Yingxian pulled out the curtain and sat side by side with Nie Yunhan outside the car.
"Too sleepy?" Nie Yunhan leaned against the side of the carriage with a big knife hanging from his waist, his eyes squinted, as if he was half asleep.
Zhuo Yingxian shook his head and folded his arms: "I'm not sleepy. You go to rest and I'll drive."
"I have nothing to do in the prison every day, except sleep. I finally come out. Naturally, I have to breathe. I don't need to rest." Nie Yunhan glanced at him lazily, and suddenly said, "Ah Xian, you don't need to rest." Like an iron crane guard."
Zhuo Yingxian remained calm: "Have you seen other iron cranes?"
"I've never seen Tie He before, but I've seen many officers, none like you." Nie Yunhan looked at the sky full of stars with a relaxed expression, "All the officers I've seen have eyes above the top, domineering, and more Don't mention you Tiehewei. No matter who mentions it, they say that you are high and unruly, and there are many folk tales written about you, and more about how cruel you are, like a man-eating demon. But I see you, A Xian, He has a gentle temperament, treats people kindly, and has a broad mind, like a Confucian scholar."
Zhuo Yingxian hummed lightly: "Could it be that you like rough things?"
Nie Yunhan was startled when he heard the words, and said meaningfully: "I'm going to think wildly when you say that."
"As a spy, shouldn't 'Red Boa' be cautious in his words and deeds?" Zhuo Yingxian choked up and teased, "Nie Qianhu has been in prison for two years, has he forgotten all the training he received?"
Nie Yunhan smiled: "You can't be tense all the time, you have to relax. A Xian, since we are going on the road together, we should be honest with each other, why don't you let me know the truth about such a big matter as Haqin? Just sent you here alone? Offended someone?"
Zhuo Yingxian was silent for a moment: "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Nie Yunhan smiled silently, and didn't ask any more questions, but kept his eyes on his face.
Under the moonlight, Zhuo Yingxian's face was expressionless, but his skin had a luster like white porcelain, his eyebrows grew into his temples, and his eyes were like stars, which looked really pleasing to the eye.
"What are you looking at?" Zhuo Yingxian was annoyed by what he saw.
"Ah Xian, you are so good-looking. With the appearance of Water Moon Guanyin, why bother to be an Iron Crane Guard? Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger. Why doesn't your family find you an idle errand to spend your days easily?" Nie Yunhan asked sincerely, "So thin skin and tender flesh, is it because Tie He's training is not hard enough, or is it because you are so talented that no matter how hard you train, it won't wear you down?"
Zhuo Yingxian frowned, moved away from him, and asked after a moment: "Brother Nie, are you..."
"What is it?" Nie Yunhan looked at him with bright eyes, waiting for the second half of his sentence.
"...Broken sleeve?" Zhuo Yingxian faltered, but still asked with difficulty.
Nie Yunhan laughed lightly at first, and then turned into a big laugh. Zhuo Yingxian was so annoyed by the laughter that he couldn't help but turned around and grabbed his throat: "What are you laughing at?! Stop laughing!"
Zhuo Yingxian's hands were a little cold from the wind, but Nie Yunhan's neck was very warm, and the two touched. Even if he used his fingers hard, it seemed that he could not threaten the other party. behave in a spoiled manner.
Nie Yunhan's big hand covered it, it was also warm, the rough touch reminded Zhuo Yingxian of the feeling of being pinched by him, his mood was extremely complicated, he immediately let go of his hand, pulled it back from under the opponent's hand, turned around and thought He got into the carriage and waited, but someone grabbed his arm.
"I am." Nie Yunhan looked at him, without any teasing expression, admitted frankly, and asked seriously, "Are you afraid?"
"What's so scary about this? What kind of person you want to be and who you like is your right, and it has nothing to do with others." Zhuo Yingxian broke free from his hand, but sat back, lest the other party think that he was afraid, "But Brother Nie and I are not in the same way, so please respect yourself so as not to be embarrassed later."
"You are good-looking, and I liked it the first time I saw it. If you weren't Tiehe, I would have pestered you. Anyway, I am shameless." Nie Yunhan crossed his arms and said to himself, "But besides being shameless, I also It will hurt people, if you follow me, I will hold you in the palm of my hand and protect you, so that you will not be wronged in the slightest."
"What does a big man want someone to hurt? He's not a cute little girl." Zhuo Yingxian blurted out, and then realized something was wrong, and said through gritted teeth, "I said that Brother Nie and I are not the same way, what word do you not understand?"
Nie Yunhan looked at him, with regret on his face: "Tie He is the emperor's personal guard, all of them come from noble backgrounds, Brother Han is not worthy. A Xian, if you and I change our identities..."
Zhuo Yingxian said angrily: "That's enough! You and I don't need to exchange words, I'm not even half interested in your private affairs!"
Nie Yunhan was suddenly interrupted by him, his lips were pursed into a straight line, making a sad look, he turned his head silently, staring at the night road ahead without saying a word.
After a while, I heard the person next to me hesitate and say: "...I am not prejudiced against you, you, don't think too much about it."
Nie Yunhan curled his lips into a smile that could hardly be traced. After repeated testing today, he can now conclude that this Zhuo Yingxian must have no deep experience in the world!
Not only is he not deeply involved in the world, but he is also kind-hearted, so why did he wade into this muddy water?
Feeling distressed for no reason.
He had no intention of torturing the other party any longer, so he said, "It's okay, let's not talk about this. Tell me about the clues you have so far."
"The guards from all over the country discovered that Haqin and others appeared in Wenzhou, Luzhou, and Linhe successively, and their whereabouts were strange." Zhuo Ying said leisurely, "So we are going to Wenzhou to have a look first?"
Nie Yunhan squinted his eyes: "That's all? There are only a few clues, and the emperor sent Tie Hewei to take the red boa to investigate Haqin? Don't forget that Dayao and Duyu have already negotiated peace, and a mutual market has opened at the border. If King Duyu finds out about this, wouldn't it give them a reason to start a dispute?"
"Not only that," Zhuo Yingxian said hastily, "Wenzhou Qingxin Temple, an old Taoist named Yun Xuzi suddenly disappeared. After the neighbor reported to the police, the local yamen investigated and believed that he was kidnapped..."
Nie Yunhan expressed no interest, and interrupted: "I have never heard of the Pure Heart Temple. It must not be an important Taoist temple. An old Taoist priest has been lost in it. What is there to make a fuss about?"
"This Yun Xuzi is extremely good at Taoist external alchemy. The point is not to practice any alchemy, but..."
Zhuo Yingxian had a lot of meaning, and Nie Yunhan immediately understood: "You mean, he knows how to make fire and thunder?"
"Yes, by mixing various medicines, such as Xuanshui, Shitingzhi, etc., the things produced are very powerful." Zhuo Ying said leisurely, "I heard that he blasted the Qingxin Temple to the sky last year, and almost killed himself. Bao, it's a pity that all the money in my hand is used to study Waidan, and the Taoist temple is still dilapidated, barely covered with tiles."
Listening to what he said, Nie Yunhan fell into deep thought, with a faint calculation in his heart.
"Since you have doubts about these things, why didn't you mention them in the Dusi Yamen earlier?" Zhuo Ying looked at him idlely, trying to figure out his expression.
In just half a day of getting along, he could tell that Nie Yunhan was used to acting, that Qi Qing's face might not be true, there were many twists and turns in his stomach, and he behaved wildly and unruly nonsense, all to cover up his full heart.
Nie Yunhan scratched his forehead and said with a sneer, "Why do you question so much? The commander also became suspicious after asking too many questions. What if you don't let me go?"
"With the emperor's order, what can he do if he becomes suspicious?" Zhuo Ying said indifferently.
At this time, there was a sudden bird song in the air. After hearing this, Nie Yunhan suddenly sat upright, and smiled with the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, someone is following. Ah Xian, sit still!"
Then he jumped on the horse's back, pulled the rein, and made a sudden turn at the three-fork in front of him, driving to the right.
Dai Yansheng kept driving in the same direction, Xiang Yushu's car immediately turned left, the three cars split into three lanes, and disappeared into the vast night!
The author has something to say:
Xuanshui refers to mercury, and Shitingzhi refers to sulfur, which is a hidden term for Taoist alchemy.
Brother Han: Coming out of the closet was frank.
A Xian: I'm a bit square.
On the way, I don't know who opened the chatter box. Everyone chatted with each other, and Nie Yunhan added a few words, and his mood gradually improved.
Compared with being helpless for two years in prison, now he can finally do something for his adoptive father, he feels much more relieved, but——
Nie Yunhan silently glanced at Zhuo Yingxian, and saw Zhuo Yingxian following him, seeming to be listening carefully to everyone's chat, his expression was curious rather than prying.

Nie Yunhan said triumphantly: "You are us! I have already discussed with the commander earlier. This time, it is not appropriate to make a publicity about the traces of Haqin and others.

"Old equipment?!" Xiang Yu Shu shouted excitedly, "Is my 'gill' also there?"
Zuo Hengqiu also came alive: "Where's my 'iron ear'?!"
Wan Lifeng followed closely, his eyes sparkling: "Is my firing bow back?"

"I don't!" Xiang Yu Shu was reluctant, pulling his hair, "I don't want to wear that bun! I'm so stupid!"
Zhuo Ying thought about the double buns that the book boy used to comb, and Xiang Yu Shu's immature but already resolute face, couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
Wan Lifeng hooked Xiang Yushu's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Sister Feng will help you comb, I guarantee you will be delicate and refined."

Dai Yansheng curled his lips, and said with a sneer, "This time he has seized the opportunity to spread his virtue."
Song Mingchong sent them to the gate of the yamen, pulled Nie Yunhan over and told him attentively: "Cooperate well with Mr. Zhuo, and don't act privately. This time is an opportunity given by the higher-ups, so don't make such a waste of effort."
Nie Yunhan looked stern, and cupped his hands at Song Ming: "Nie usually acts like a mirror, but his heart is like a mirror. Since Mr. Song took office, he has taken good care of Nie, and he is always in his heart. I will never forget it."
"You don't need to remember, take care of yourself and your brothers." Song Mingchong sighed, "I'll wait for your safe return."
Everyone took their own equipment and baggage, and took three carriages.Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian are in the first car, Dai Yansheng and Wan Lifeng are in the second car, Xiang Yushu and Zuo Hengqiu are in the third car.
The sky was full of dark clouds and the moon was hazy. With the sound of the whip, the three carriages moved forward slowly.
The horse's hooves stepped on the stone slabs, making a crisp hoofbeat, and the kicks changed from slow to fast. The carriage drove away all the way, disappearing from Song Mingchong's sight.
According to the information provided by Zhuo Yingxian, Haqin and others once haunted the central part of Dayao. Tangzhou Mansion is located in the southeast of Dayao. Therefore, Nie Yunhan and his party set off from the north gate of the city and headed north as planned, following Haqin's previous appearance. Find clues along the way.
A few people in brocade clothes walked at night, bumping and running all the way.
At first, Nie Yunhan was driving outside, so Zhuo Ying was allowed to rest in the car.At midnight, Zhuo Yingxian pulled out the curtain and sat side by side with Nie Yunhan outside the car.
"Too sleepy?" Nie Yunhan leaned against the side of the carriage with a big knife hanging from his waist, his eyes squinted, as if he was half asleep.
Zhuo Yingxian shook his head and folded his arms: "I'm not sleepy. You go to rest and I'll drive."
"I have nothing to do in the prison every day, except sleep. I finally come out. Naturally, I have to breathe. I don't need to rest." Nie Yunhan glanced at him lazily, and suddenly said, "Ah Xian, you don't need to rest." Like an iron crane guard."
Zhuo Yingxian remained calm: "Have you seen other iron cranes?"
"I've never seen Tie He before, but I've seen many officers, none like you." Nie Yunhan looked at the sky full of stars with a relaxed expression, "All the officers I've seen have eyes above the top, domineering, and more Don't mention you Tiehewei. No matter who mentions it, they say that you are high and unruly, and there are many folk tales written about you, and more about how cruel you are, like a man-eating demon. But I see you, A Xian, He has a gentle temperament, treats people kindly, and has a broad mind, like a Confucian scholar."
Zhuo Yingxian hummed lightly: "Could it be that you like rough things?"
Nie Yunhan was startled when he heard the words, and said meaningfully: "I'm going to think wildly when you say that."
"As a spy, shouldn't 'Red Boa' be cautious in his words and deeds?" Zhuo Yingxian choked up and teased, "Nie Qianhu has been in prison for two years, has he forgotten all the training he received?"
Nie Yunhan smiled: "You can't be tense all the time, you have to relax. A Xian, since we are going on the road together, we should be honest with each other, why don't you let me know the truth about such a big matter as Haqin? Just sent you here alone? Offended someone?"
Zhuo Yingxian was silent for a moment: "This matter has nothing to do with you."
Nie Yunhan smiled silently, and didn't ask any more questions, but kept his eyes on his face.
Under the moonlight, Zhuo Yingxian's face was expressionless, but his skin had a luster like white porcelain, his eyebrows grew into his temples, and his eyes were like stars, which looked really pleasing to the eye.
"What are you looking at?" Zhuo Yingxian was annoyed by what he saw.
"Ah Xian, you are so good-looking. With the appearance of Water Moon Guanyin, why bother to be an Iron Crane Guard? Companion to a king is like companion to a tiger. Why doesn't your family find you an idle errand to spend your days easily?" Nie Yunhan asked sincerely, "So thin skin and tender flesh, is it because Tie He's training is not hard enough, or is it because you are so talented that no matter how hard you train, it won't wear you down?"
Zhuo Yingxian frowned, moved away from him, and asked after a moment: "Brother Nie, are you..."
"What is it?" Nie Yunhan looked at him with bright eyes, waiting for the second half of his sentence.
"...Broken sleeve?" Zhuo Yingxian faltered, but still asked with difficulty.
Nie Yunhan laughed lightly at first, and then turned into a big laugh. Zhuo Yingxian was so annoyed by the laughter that he couldn't help but turned around and grabbed his throat: "What are you laughing at?! Stop laughing!"
Zhuo Yingxian's hands were a little cold from the wind, but Nie Yunhan's neck was very warm, and the two touched. Even if he used his fingers hard, it seemed that he could not threaten the other party. behave in a spoiled manner.
Nie Yunhan's big hand covered it, it was also warm, the rough touch reminded Zhuo Yingxian of the feeling of being pinched by him, his mood was extremely complicated, he immediately let go of his hand, pulled it back from under the opponent's hand, turned around and thought He got into the carriage and waited, but someone grabbed his arm.
"I am." Nie Yunhan looked at him, without any teasing expression, admitted frankly, and asked seriously, "Are you afraid?"
"What's so scary about this? What kind of person you want to be and who you like is your right, and it has nothing to do with others." Zhuo Yingxian broke free from his hand, but sat back, lest the other party think that he was afraid, "But Brother Nie and I are not in the same way, so please respect yourself so as not to be embarrassed later."
"You are good-looking, and I liked it the first time I saw it. If you weren't Tiehe, I would have pestered you. Anyway, I am shameless." Nie Yunhan crossed his arms and said to himself, "But besides being shameless, I also It will hurt people, if you follow me, I will hold you in the palm of my hand and protect you, so that you will not be wronged in the slightest."
"What does a big man want someone to hurt? He's not a cute little girl." Zhuo Yingxian blurted out, and then realized something was wrong, and said through gritted teeth, "I said that Brother Nie and I are not the same way, what word do you not understand?"
Nie Yunhan looked at him, with regret on his face: "Tie He is the emperor's personal guard, all of them come from noble backgrounds, Brother Han is not worthy. A Xian, if you and I change our identities..."
Zhuo Yingxian said angrily: "That's enough! You and I don't need to exchange words, I'm not even half interested in your private affairs!"
Nie Yunhan was suddenly interrupted by him, his lips were pursed into a straight line, making a sad look, he turned his head silently, staring at the night road ahead without saying a word.
After a while, I heard the person next to me hesitate and say: "...I am not prejudiced against you, you, don't think too much about it."
Nie Yunhan curled his lips into a smile that could hardly be traced. After repeated testing today, he can now conclude that this Zhuo Yingxian must have no deep experience in the world!
Not only is he not deeply involved in the world, but he is also kind-hearted, so why did he wade into this muddy water?
Feeling distressed for no reason.
He had no intention of torturing the other party any longer, so he said, "It's okay, let's not talk about this. Tell me about the clues you have so far."
"The guards from all over the country discovered that Haqin and others appeared in Wenzhou, Luzhou, and Linhe successively, and their whereabouts were strange." Zhuo Ying said leisurely, "So we are going to Wenzhou to have a look first?"
Nie Yunhan squinted his eyes: "That's all? There are only a few clues, and the emperor sent Tie Hewei to take the red boa to investigate Haqin? Don't forget that Dayao and Duyu have already negotiated peace, and a mutual market has opened at the border. If King Duyu finds out about this, wouldn't it give them a reason to start a dispute?"
"Not only that," Zhuo Yingxian said hastily, "Wenzhou Qingxin Temple, an old Taoist named Yun Xuzi suddenly disappeared. After the neighbor reported to the police, the local yamen investigated and believed that he was kidnapped..."
Nie Yunhan expressed no interest, and interrupted: "I have never heard of the Pure Heart Temple. It must not be an important Taoist temple. An old Taoist priest has been lost in it. What is there to make a fuss about?"
"This Yun Xuzi is extremely good at Taoist external alchemy. The point is not to practice any alchemy, but..."
Zhuo Yingxian had a lot of meaning, and Nie Yunhan immediately understood: "You mean, he knows how to make fire and thunder?"
"Yes, by mixing various medicines, such as Xuanshui, Shitingzhi, etc., the things produced are very powerful." Zhuo Ying said leisurely, "I heard that he blasted the Qingxin Temple to the sky last year, and almost killed himself. Bao, it's a pity that all the money in my hand is used to study Waidan, and the Taoist temple is still dilapidated, barely covered with tiles."
Listening to what he said, Nie Yunhan fell into deep thought, with a faint calculation in his heart.
"Since you have doubts about these things, why didn't you mention them in the Dusi Yamen earlier?" Zhuo Ying looked at him idlely, trying to figure out his expression.
In just half a day of getting along, he could tell that Nie Yunhan was used to acting, that Qi Qing's face might not be true, there were many twists and turns in his stomach, and he behaved wildly and unruly nonsense, all to cover up his full heart.
Nie Yunhan scratched his forehead and said with a sneer, "Why do you question so much? The commander also became suspicious after asking too many questions. What if you don't let me go?"
"With the emperor's order, what can he do if he becomes suspicious?" Zhuo Ying said indifferently.
At this time, there was a sudden bird song in the air. After hearing this, Nie Yunhan suddenly sat upright, and smiled with the corner of his mouth: "Sure enough, someone is following. Ah Xian, sit still!"
Then he jumped on the horse's back, pulled the rein, and made a sudden turn at the three-fork in front of him, driving to the right.
Dai Yansheng kept driving in the same direction, Xiang Yushu's car immediately turned left, the three cars split into three lanes, and disappeared into the vast night!
The author has something to say:
Xuanshui refers to mercury, and Shitingzhi refers to sulfur, which is a hidden term for Taoist alchemy.
Brother Han: Coming out of the closet was frank.
A Xian: I'm a bit square.
