Xialan Fanren: The Spectator

"Many people here have contacts with Yuehe, and most of the people in Diancheng have half of Yuehe's blood on their bodies, like me." The voice of the man was dug out from the depths of the brain by Yundan and played again, like It was explaining the scene she saw before her eyes.

Mu Duan walked in front of her, stopped and turned around, with a flamboyant arc on his lips, "Unexpected!"

Yundan gave him a supercilious look.

But she really did not expect that such a group of people would live in the south of Dian City.Under the cover of deliberately planted trees, the Han people ate and lived with the Yuehe people.Also because of the luxuriant growth of the woods, the town-sized settlement looks nothing like it from the outside.At first glance, one would think that it was some lonely cabins scattered in the virgin forest.

The residence that Mu Duan led them to looked very simple and dilapidated, with a small open space surrounded by a low fence wall, where the food crops and the clothes of the residents were dried.

"When I came to Diancheng, I had a friend who lived here. I don't know if he still lives here." Mu Duan said as he approached the small house and closed the door panel familiarly. "It's not bad to find more people to ask about the situation."

He really planned to ask more people, after all, just relying on the words of the waiter is not enough.The current treacherous scene in Dian City is like the kind of ominous omen that storytellers often talk about. It is difficult to tell who is right and who is not.Although he was just an outsider spreading the word, he didn't want his word to be wrong.

"Find out the situation in Diancheng for me," Jiu Ye asked for only one thing when he found himself that day, "It's important, and I have something to confirm here, so I can only leave it to you. What do you find? , Informed by flying pigeons."

"Hmm..." He nodded nervously, "I can't miss you sending reinforcements."

"Cough." Master Jiu gave a fake cough suddenly, "Reinforcement is the second priority... I wonder if this matter will involve... some people in the court."

Mu Duan didn't think too much about it at the time, but when he heard this, he felt that it should be some intriguing and sinister story, and after he shivered, he didn't ask any more questions.

Later, he really found out that the incident in Diancheng was related to the important officials of the court, but not the "rebellious" Yuehe people.

Yun Dan and Wen Qi stood behind him, waiting for the door to open, but no one responded for a long time.

The boy awkwardly pushed open the unlocked wooden door, and when he looked in, he froze in place.When Yun Dan and Wen Qi followed his gaze and looked in, they were also stunned.

Who would have thought that there would be a lot of knives, guns and sticks stored in this wooden house that looked harmless to humans and animals?And next to this pile of weapons, there is an old woman who is doing her work as if nothing had happened?

"...It seems that guy has moved." He opened his eyes and said something nonsense.

Yun Dan didn't expose him: "It's just that an old man was left behind and didn't move out."

Although he once suspected that Mu Duan knew more than himself, and even felt that he was being led by the nose in everything, but at this moment, Yun Dan felt that this boy in black should not know much better than himself.

And it is.

"This guy is probably avoiding me," Mu Duan scratched the back of his head, his expression as bitter as if he had eaten a bitter gourd raw, "but it's also possible that he wants to tell us something in this way."

"You came here just to ask about the situation." Yun Dan said indifferently, "Someone is willing to tell you what you want to know. It's not a bad thing."

Mu Duan turned to look at her, "You don't want to hear it?"

She squinted at the past: "It doesn't matter whether I think about it or not, the important thing is," she is now a Jianghu person invited by Wen Zhifu, and from a standpoint, she is not a friend of the Yuehe people. "Do they want to tell me?"

"Of course I want to." The old woman who was working with her head down in the room suddenly made a sound, which shocked the three of them.

The weapons in the house were piled up in one corner, without any sundries to cover them, and looked as ordinary as the grain clothes exposed to the sun outside the house.

"We have an inseparable relationship with Yuehe, but as soon as the Wen Zhifu took office, he ordered the prohibition of Yuehe people from entering Diancheng, how is this possible!" The man's words began to ring in Yundan's ears again, "So we None of these common people listened to him."

"Auntie, you...?" Mu Duan looked like he saw a ghost, "Which song are you singing with Brother Cheng?"

The old woman is stooped, short and fat, and the loose skin on her face looks like magma that has just flowed out and solidified, stacking up into an image of an old man that is often seen in comic books.

"Hey," the old man showed his yellow teeth and smiled kindly, "Where did you sing? Of course it's a rebellion!"

The three outsiders stayed where they were.

"How do you think those rebellions came about?" Yun Dan seems to remember that the man drank his saliva when he said this, "You don't know that those so-called rebellions are all a play we staged!"

"The four of you are all rescuers invited by the Wen Zhifu?" the old man asked.

Wen Qi frowned.

"Where are there four? There are three people standing here."

The old woman grinned her yellow teeth and smiled meaningfully: "Then the last person doesn't live in Wenfu like you." Before these people could react, she suddenly looked at Wen Qi again, smiling Minus, "Why is this little girl covering her face so that no one can see her?"

After the old man's voice fell, the square inch of space suddenly became silent, like a deep pool swallowed by falling rocks, and after the fluctuations calmed down, the initial ripples could not be seen.The warm yellow light from the setting sun outside the house fell on the quiet weapon deep in the room, reflecting a cold light.At this moment, Mu Duan shivered suddenly.

The topic changes too quickly, and the brain can't react.

The conversation fell into an embarrassing situation. At this moment, the elder brother Cheng who was talking about finally appeared on the stage, and the old man who had been sitting on the low stool with his knees slowly stood up on his knees, walked to Wen Qi and pulled her away from the crowd. Take a closer look at her face.

"Your jaw was injured." The old man's voice was low and the volume was extremely low, only Wen Qi who was face to face with her could hear clearly.And when these words came out, she was stunned for three seconds.

Yun Dan wanted to follow, but was stopped by Brother Cheng later. "Don't worry, she just wants to help that girl heal her injury," he explained.

Wen Qi's veil is not transparent, and the scars are not so hideous that they can be seen through the fabric. Few people know that the jaw covered by her veil is related to her loss of speech.It would be impossible to know without prior investigation.Yun Dan knew this, and Wen Qi knew it too.

"Girl, if you can trust me as an old lady, why don't you let me heal your injuries?" the old man said softly.

Yun Dan didn't know how Wen Qi reacted, nor did she know under what circumstances she finally accepted the other party's help.At that time, she was persuaded by Brother Cheng to leave the house in peace, and started a round of negotiations in the open space where the sun was fading.

The tall man first introduced himself humbly, calling himself Cheng Yang, who lives in Dian City, and the old lady in the house is his mother, who is half of Yuehe blood.According to him, after Wen Qi's elder brother took office in Diancheng, he banned Yuehe people from entering the city under the pretext that Yuehe was in a period of civil war. Even people with Yuehe blood could only leave the city and not enter the city.The people were dissatisfied, so he used the defenders in the city to arrest the civilians who were dissatisfied with this, but even the soldiers were reluctant to do so.

"Everyone didn't know what to do at the beginning. The government's order is true, and no one dares to disobey it." Cheng Yang sighed helplessly, and continued, "But later, the people who served around Wenzhi's mansion found out about him. character and weakness, we set up a situation to let him get out of Diancheng by himself."

That's the play the guy was talking about.

"Pretending to attack the city on Yuehe, the illusion that the defenders are invincible?" Yun Dan raised his eyebrows and said, "I figured out that there is no one under the prefect of Wen, and he must ask for reinforcements, so I intercepted his messenger halfway to prevent him from reaching the sky. Listen, flee the city in a panic, right?"

A trace of surprise flashed across the man's brows and eyes, and then disappeared again, only nodding his head.

When Yundan heard this from the waiter, he was being tormented by sleepiness and lost his mind. He heard these keywords and recorded them in his mind, but he didn't analyze and reason them, so that now when he thinks about them, he feels thrilling.

"This plan is really bold." Muduan said something so abruptly that Yundan almost thought he had said it accidentally.

"But now, our plan has failed." Cheng Yang said.

Mu Duan nodded, "Because of us."

"No."

Yun Dan looked up at him.

"If it was because of you, we wouldn't have posted the guy there for you to see." Cheng Yang explained a little helplessly, then paused, and said, "After you came out of Wenfu, a person went in, "Cheng Yang said solemnly, "That person should be sent by the high-ranking official from Wen Zhifu who asked for help."

Yun Dan recalled that Master Jiu had said that he would help clear up the upper levels. Could it be that it was a coincidence that the high-ranking official that Master Jiu was looking for was the backer of the prefect of Wen?She suddenly regretted why she hadn't activated detection to monitor earlier, but this place is too far away from the Chinese Mansion in the city, even if she activates detection, she may not be able to monitor that far away at any time.

She was deep in thought on this side and said nothing, but Mu Duan and Cheng Yang on the other side were embarrassed.

Muduan's embarrassing incident actually overlaps with Yundan's, because they all involve the person they represent this time: Master Jiu.But Cheng Yang was embarrassed at the other end, wondering if the two of them didn't want to help each other.

Therefore, for such a strong man with a height of nearly two meters, the two thick eyebrows on his face suddenly raised into a "eight" character: "We are isolated and helpless now. If the surname Wen still occupies the position of the prefect and does not leave, we will definitely investigate deeply. Get up, when the time comes, those of us here will just..."

"do not worry."

"?"

Cheng Yang thought it was Yun Dan who spoke, but the voice didn't sound like it. When he looked up, he found that the faces of the two foreign visitors were full of shock. His heart trembled and he almost thought that some ghost was making the sound.

As a result, Yun Dan snuffed out his superstitious thoughts when he opened his mouth: "Wen Qi?" She looked over Cheng Yang's thick and dark arms, and looked straight at the petite figure standing behind him.

Muduan on the other side immediately asked, "Can you talk now?"

Wen Qi remained expressionless, and uttered two words through the veil: "Yes."

☆、Chapter 22

It is not so easy for a person who has been unable to speak for more than ten years to regain his speaking skills in just a few words, even in a modern society with highly developed medical methods.

"This is cured? Isn't it too fast?" Mu Duan shouted in surprise.

Wen Qi's veil has not been taken off, but now he can see that the purple cloth changes shape with the movement of the owner when he speaks.The three people in the yard looked at her in amazement, and one of them activated detection almost instantly.

Yun Dan did not hide her detection formation this time, the rotating light golden magic circle burst out from under her feet, passed the feet of other people present, and flew straight into the small wooden house behind Wen Qi.

Mu Duan and Cheng Yang were taken aback, and when Yundan's detection circle flashed past their feet, they both jumped up, like stepping on a hissing rattlesnake. "Hey, what kind of move is this?" Mu Duan was frightened twice in a row, and he was in a bad mood.He felt that he had to ask Master Jiu for mental damage when he went back.

Yun Dan ignored him, and concentrated on the Yuan Qi twitching in his palm.After the detection, she looked sideways at Cheng Yang: "Is there a mark on the palm of your mother's left hand?" She raised her left hand, and opened her palm to light up in front of the other party.

The response received was an unexpected exclamation, and a group of unknown birds flew away from the branches.

The sky was completely dark, and the cotton candy-like floating clouds in the daytime turned gray and black in the night, blocking a lot of sparkling stars.

Several people were invited back into the house. After the candles were lit, the shadow of the pile of weapons in the corner could no longer be seen.Yun Dan's eyes dimmed, and there were some very subtle sounds from the depths of the ground under his feet.She quietly turned on scouting, knowing more about this hidden city with every step she took.

The two Xialan from Jiugongling briefly explained their identities to ordinary people who heard Xialan's name for the first time, and then Cheng Yang and his mother also talked about their experiences.

Cheng Yang's mother is the same as Yi Yu that Yundan met in the Jiuye's house in Dengzhou City before, she is a lost Xia Lan.But compared to Yi Yu's ignorance of this mysterious power, Mrs. Cheng is obviously already familiar with her unique ability.In the passing time, she used the light blue Yuan Qi to save the lives of countless people in Diancheng and Yuehe, and just now, she repaired Wen Qi's old scars of more than ten years.

She even knows how to close Qi, and she is still the kind who can hide Yuan Qi without a trace.

Yundan thinks that she has excellent detection ability, and usually even when she encounters people with closed energy or zero energy who hides her own energy, she can find the slightest clues.But now she was unaware that there was another person carrying Yuan Qi here, until she realized that Wen Qi must have Yuan Qi to help him recover from his old injuries, and then hurriedly launched the detection formation.

At night, the cold wind is bleak, seeping into the house from the outside through the cracks in the door panels, spreading a trace of coolness.There were five people sitting around a table, the sound of breathing accompanied by the faint whine of the wind outside the house, which made the flame on the dim butter lamp in the center of the table go out, as if it would go out at any moment.In the darkness, Yun Dan lowered his eyes slightly, seemingly unintentionally sweeping across the crooked figure of the old man, but stared at him and his skinny and wrinkled left hand for a long time.

For a moment, she thought that the old man had noticed her gaze, so she looked away without any trace.

"This gift," the old man said with a smile, "are you satisfied?"

Of course, this was said to Wen Qi, so Yun Dan and He Duan remained silent, and the corner of his eyes fell on the purple-haired girl. "Reciprocity," she responded calmly, but she was a little out of habit now with her vocal chords, which hadn't articulated in years.Her throat was slightly choked, as if she was adjusting, and after a while, she added another sentence: "I should return your favor."

It's not "I'm willing to help" or "I should help you", but just to "return a favor".

The other party obviously didn't expect this girl who seemed to be only in her teens to say such a sentence, and she laughed for a moment, thinking that this child was pretending to be an adult pretending to be an adult.Even Mu Duan couldn't help but look Wen Qi up and down, secretly thinking about the age range that the other party's short stature is more likely to be in.

Yun Dan thought it was funny, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was obviously helpless.

After all, only she here knows Wen Qi's real age.

"But you have no reason to deal with your brother." Mu Duan suddenly said, he propped his chin with one hand, and held the small teacup with the other. It was empty, and he had already drank all the tea.He turned his head to face the other people, "It's not very kind of you to let a little girl push your brother into the fire pit with your own hands." At the end, he raised his head and said to Wen Qi suspiciously: "How dare you just agree to help?" gone."

Cheng Yang chuckled, "We don't want to kill him, we just want him to leave Diancheng."

"Wen Zhifu is backed by important officials of the court. It is not easy to let him go." Yun Dan said with a sigh, still wondering whether Master Jiu really found the wrong person.

As a result, Mu Duan put down the cup with a snap, got up and flew a homing pigeon outside the house. He was neat and not messy, and stared at the people in the house dumbfounded.

Where did you get the pigeons?And when did you write the letter and put it in?

Yun Dan was among the people who were thinking about the above two questions, and when the boy turned his head and met her surprised eyes, he answered very bluntly: "I just asked Master Jiu to ask for clarification."

And far away in the city of Dian, the person Cheng Yang said entered the Wenfu after Yundan and others is now sitting directly opposite the Wenzhifu, wearing black clothes with golden fretwork faintly showing his luxury Extraordinary status.He calmly held the most exquisite teacup in Wenfu, closed his eyes leisurely, and sipped the tea indifferently.

In contrast, Wen Zhifu on the other side seemed very disturbed.After the man finally put down the cup, he hurriedly asked, "Does your lord have any orders?"

"No." The messenger's answer was short.

Wen Zhifu frowned: "Then what happened this time...?"

"You handled it well. Your lord has cut off the news channel, so your AWOL incident has not been reported, and there is no evidence to support it."

Hearing this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and slumped on the back of the chair with confidence, "That's good..."

The messenger continued to drink tea: "In the future, don't panic easily when things happen. There is an adult here, so what are you afraid of?"

Hearing this, Wen Zhifu's face drooped instantly: "But when I asked for reinforcements, the old man didn't call me."

The other party raised his eyebrows slantingly, "Have you asked your lord for reinforcements?"

Wen Zhifu nodded blankly, and described the cause and effect in detail. Seeing the messenger's sword-shaped eyebrows gradually forming a mountain peak between his eyebrows, he began to sweat. He sat up quickly and looked nervously at the man in black.

"I heard that you asked people from the world to help you this time?" the messenger asked suddenly.

"Yes, they just left the moment before you came." Zhifu Wen replied, but he didn't know why the other party asked about it. "It is said that people from the Jianghu are better at handling things in the Jianghu."

The messenger nodded thoughtfully, "It is indeed not suitable for such a large group to stay at your house."

"No, no," Wen Zhifu quickly corrected, fearing that the other party received the wrong information and made a wrong decision. "There are only three of them."

The messenger suddenly turned his head, as if four large characters were written on his face: "Are you kidding me?".

At least Diancheng was attacked by Yuehe people before, this is no joke.

"If you really forced my brother to quit because of this, then what reason do you have to quit now?" Wen Qi asked, looking at the two mother and son.

Yundan and Heduan also wanted to know the answer very much. After all, if they could keep occupying the Wenfu even if he came back, they might not have to worry about being wiped out by the court forces behind him.

But after the mother and son looked at each other for a while, they looked like they didn't understand their question: "Because our goal has been achieved, why don't we quit?"

Yun Dan and Wen Qi were so shocked by this answer that they froze in place, not knowing what expression to make, so they remained expressionless.

Muduan immediately choked his throat with a mouthful of warm water, so frightened that others hurried over to help him beat his back, while he himself bent down and beat his chest fiercely, his facial features wrinkled, and he couldn't help vomiting in his heart that he couldn't vomit in front of others : I have never met such a smart and stupid person!

"We need to create some chaos in the city." Yundan Changkai's scouting caught thousands of alpacas whizzing by in the young man's heart. The prefect and the mysterious person became suspicious, "making them feel that the city is still in turmoil," she said.

Wen Qi looked up at her: "What do you want to do?"

Yun Dan pondered for a long time, and said seriously: "...learn from Master Jiu."

☆、Chapter 23

Floating clouds moved slowly under the dome, but because they couldn't gather together, they couldn't block the starlight that filled the sky.Even if the moon is bright in the sky, it only dims the stars in a small area around it.Just after midnight, the whole city of Dian had entered a deep sleep, and even the guard soldiers on the city wall who were supposed to be in high spirits actually leaned against the parapet and took a nap.

The people in Diancheng are very relieved, even the servants who live in the magistrate's private house are very relieved of this nominally turbulent city, so when Xiaogu was so hungry that he couldn't sleep late at night and forced himself to go to the kitchen to find food, he I didn't realize that I just saw a black shadow flying across the roof.

But when he was chewing the leftovers in the pot contentedly, there was a commotion outside, and the crackling sound sounded like something made of wood fell from a height to the ground.

Such a sound in the middle of the night is very harsh, especially for people who want to sleep standing up.Xiaogu frowned, and clicked his mouth full of rice in dissatisfaction, "Why is the cat so tossing tonight..." He was really sleepy, but also very hungry, so he closed his eyes willfully, but his mouth didn't stop.

Just when he was about to shovel another spoonful of rice to eat, he heard a scream in his ears, and the moment he subconsciously opened his eyes, he saw his own eyes.

Because a sword appeared in front of him, the blade was like a mirror, reflecting his sleepy eyes brightly.

But now he was completely awakened by fright, and even woke up the other people who were sleeping soundly in the house with a scream.

sleepless nights.

Early the next morning, a certain servant in the Wen Mansion opened his eyes as if they had been smoked, and with his eyelids half drooped, he lowered his head and swept the floor in a trance.There were several short muffled sounds from the direction of the door, and the footsteps of the servant were shallow, and he walked to open the door one by one, but the guy who knocked on the door only left him with an afterimage in which he could only distinguish the main color.

The servant woke up too early, and was unconscious for a while. He stood on the edge of the door for a long time in a daze before realizing that there seemed to be a bright red color in the flashing image.

It was the blood oozing from the wound on Muduan's left arm.

The three people who just came yesterday are now sitting in the guest seats in the hall, with serious expressions and silent.

A few hours ago, when the time was still divided into "yesterday", the three of them came up with a plan in the invisible town outside the south gate.

"You were attacked last night?"

Someone exclaimed at the door, attracting everyone's attention.

Wen Zhifu, who was woken up by the servant, was standing at the door with sleepy eyes. He was a little embarrassed to be stared at for a while. He wanted to use a fake cough to cover up, but he couldn't hold back the sleepiness in the morning and yawned.Fortunately, the cuffs were already covering his face, so no one noticed anything unusual, and he let go of his hands only after he regained his sleepiness, and said, "...What a coincidence, we were also attacked by someone last night."

Yun Dan stood up, with a startled look on his face: "The magistrate was also attacked?"

"That's right, thanks to the messenger's strong martial arts... ah, this is the one." Wen Zhifu turned sideways to make room for the man behind him who had changed his clothes, and then turned around and finished what he said just now: "No Let that guy get it."

Mu Duan covered his left arm with his right hand, and also stood up: "Are none of you injured?"

"No." The stranger grabbed Wen Zhifu's words, walked forward in two or three steps, and raised his hand to untie the blood-stained bandage on the young man's arm. "That person didn't have time to do anything, so I drove him away."

Although the prefect had introduced this person as a "messenger" just now, he is still a stranger here at Muduan who doesn't know the details.The young man seemed to be somewhat resistant to the messenger's actions, and while retracting his arms, he repeatedly stopped: "Wait, you——Which one of you is here?"

The courier was a head taller than Mu Duan, and his eyes were lowered to the wound on his upper arm. Hearing the words, he slightly raised his eyelids to look at the other person's face, but his eyes seemed to have been shot out by two ice arrows, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, This sword is sharp, and this star is also cold.The stranger's aggressive aura made Mu Duan unconsciously take another half step back, which caused the messenger's eyes to close slightly.

Yun Dan saw it all.

"He is sent by the imperial court, you don't have to worry." Wen Zhifu stepped forward to make a rescue, and rubbed his sister's little head along the way—although Wen Qi was told that Wen Qi was no longer in shape when he went to Jiugongling to seek refuge. The reason for her growing up, but he didn't pay attention to it, he just treated her as a little girl who didn't understand anything, "Just call him a messenger like me."

This sounded out of order, but because the lord in the court specifically ordered not to reveal his identity, the people who came simply asked him to be called a messenger, saving a lot of trouble.

Mu Duan finally felt relieved and asked the man to undo his bandages.

But the atmosphere was still very awkward. The messenger felt that he had frightened the young man just now, so he slowed down his tone, and after ordering the servant to get the ointment, he said to Mu Duan: "I just look at the wound for you. The weather in Dian City is hot and humid. , the wound can easily suppurate."

The young man was dressed in black and hadn't changed or washed it. He was sweating a lot from the fight last night, and after it dries, there is always a slight smell.When the bandage on the left arm was untied, the slight sweaty smell spread out in a small area, and only the messenger could smell it.The young man noticed the other party's slightly frowning eyebrows, and said in a little embarrassment: "It doesn't feel good to ask the messenger to help me see the wound... Actually, I thought just now, did you think I was the one who attacked you last night. "

As soon as this remark came out, several other people stared at him nervously.

"After all, we are not familiar with each other now, and we didn't say that we are in the same group just now." Muduan hastily defended, "Isn't it normal for people who just met to doubt each other?"

It's normal, but it's not normal when you say it.Wen Qi slandered so much.

However, the messenger's expression remained unchanged, and he didn't seem surprised: "Indeed, I was so skeptical just now, but now I don't doubt it anymore."

Yun Dan interjected with great interest: "Why?"

The courier looked up at her, pinching the ends of the bandage that had just been removed with both hands, and unfolding it in front of everyone's eyes.Seeing the large expanse of blood, several female servants present turned around in fright to cover their eyes.

The messenger said calmly, "Because I didn't hurt him at all last night."

The color of the woman's eyes changed slightly.

Mu Duan widened his eyes and let out a wow: "You actually let him go."

"First of all, we have to see what kind of character that person is."

In the simple wooden house last night, several people sat around a table to discuss strategies, and the flame on the oil lamp that had stood still for a while swayed a few times when Yun Dan's thin lips lightly opened.

"This plan is not much simpler than crossing the sky and crossing the sea. If you want to hide it, you have to see how smart they are."

"What do you want to do?" Wen Qi asked.

The flames reflected in Yundan's eyes, flickering on and off.

After the two sides revealed their identities, they sat down one after another, and the servant brought hot tea for the guests to relieve their fatigue.

But it seems that there are more than three visitors who need relief.

"That person went straight to the magistrate's room last night, but he made too much noise, so I found out." The messenger took a sip of the tea cup. "Later, I saw the man running to the back kitchen, thinking he was hiding there, but it turned out that only one of his own was stealing food."

The last sentence made people puzzled. The owner of Wenzhai was afraid that others would misunderstand that there was an undercover agent in his house, so he threw a sharp eye at the servant beside him.The person standing behind Wen Zhifu had no choice but to scratch the back of his head in embarrassment, and aloud to claim the house thief who stole the food.

The magistrate looked helpless: "The family education is not good."

"So, you didn't see what that person looked like?" Muduan stared at the messenger's face. "He should be from the same group as the guy who cut me, they are all from Yuehe."

"Maybe." The messenger showed helplessness, and the corners of his mouth curled into a bitter arc, "He covered his face, and it was dark at night. And in the middle of the night, I was sleeping soundly and was woken up. Even if I saw him grow I can’t remember exactly what it was.”

The young man had just drank the tea in his cup, and when he heard this, he let out a long sigh: "That's it. I was also in a daze last night. After that guy cut me off, the two of them went to sleep. When he rushed over, he couldn't beat him three times, so he ran away. I thought that if you were also attacked by surprise, you would remember it better than me."

"Everyone was dreaming about Duke Zhou at the time, and it's normal that you won't be able to wake up for a while." The messenger could see that he was very open, and persuaded Mu Duan with a few words, and then asked kindly: "Then what do you have now?" A plan?" He turned his eyes back and forth on the three people opposite him, and finally landed on the woman who was the farthest away from him.That woman is none other than Yun Dan.

His eyes looked gentle and calm, but Yundan's detection formation that had been secretly activated told her that this person was far less kind than he appeared on the outside.

The person who came to Wen Mansion for a surprise attack last night was herself, because the security in Wen Mansion was too lax, if she wanted to make this attack known to everyone, she could only lower her level of secrecy and attract a few people to fight against it. Own.

At this time, the role of detection is even more important.The personnel distribution and building structure of the Wenfu were clearly revealed in the detection formation driven by Yuan Qi. Yun Dan found the room of the mysterious person who entered the Wenfu after they left, and stepped on the tiles on the roof Sometimes he deliberately made a noise to attract the messenger.

But unexpectedly, this person not only sleeps lightly, but also has excellent martial arts.Almost at the same time as Yundan made a sound, he pierced through the solid roof structure of the house with his sword, and pointed his sword at the sky from bottom to top. The black clothes almost blended into the night, but the golden border pattern was exposed by the starlight and moonlight. Reflects a terrific light.

This is not what a sleeping person should wear.

Yun Dan almost couldn't run away, but Yue Zhu activated it in time, and was able to hide in the blink of an eye, but in order to prevent the other party from getting suspicious, she used Yuan Qi to create a fake shadow after she escaped, and came out from the hole in the hole. He jumped out from under the eaves and led him into the back kitchen.

The results of this investigation are extremely frightening. Yun Dan thinks he is agile, but he can barely escape the opponent's sword with Xia Lan's tricks, and his insight cannot be underestimated.If this plan is to be implemented, then there cannot be half a loophole for the other party to catch.

After all, the ultimate goal is to get rid of him.

After returning, she asked Mu Duan and Cheng Yang to fight, the harder the better.The young man was stunned for a while, and then he frowned and agreed after listening to the explanation, but the fact that he was not good at martial arts was quickly exposed.Cheng Yang took a short knife to fight in order to prevent injury to his opponent, but in the end he overestimated the boy's reaction time and maneuvering skills, and inflicted a half-deep wound on the opponent's left arm.

"You are a messenger sent by the imperial court." Yun Dan met the other party's gaze directly, smiled softly, and spoke modestly, "We are just vulgar people. When it comes to planning, we need you to lead us."

The messenger's smile remained unchanged, "You and I were attacked at night just after arriving here yesterday, which shows that the enemy knows our every move very well."

Mu Duan rubbed the center of his eyebrows casually, "Are you an undercover agent?"

"...Did the young man forget that you walked out from here yesterday?"
