"It is said that every station we pass has this letter." Xiao Ao walked into the room and looked at his brother. Xiao Chong nodded to him, meaning that he was fine, and asked him to continue, "We are on the way back. Passing by the post station, I was..." Xiao Ao paused, "By the way, I asked if there was any other letter, so I received this."

Ye Lan still stood still, looking at the words on the letter, "So, this letter is not my brother's handwriting, right?"

Xiao Ao nodded, "I guess, after all, the young master doesn't know where we are, and it's impossible for one person to write so many letters when something happened."

"So," Liang Qiu said with a sullen face, "what happened in Luobei City?"

The crowd fell into silence.

They are all nobles in the city. Even if something happened, several families have different positions, especially Ye Lan’s family, who have always stood honestly on the neutral side. Even if Ye Cang supports the abolition of slavery and He Ying disagrees, it’s just a meeting The above problems will not affect the family.

This is why Ye Jin'an never interfered with Ye Cang.

But now, if even Ye Lan is not allowed to go back, then it must be a big deal.

"Have you asked someone to investigate?" When the young masters were silent, Xiao Chong looked at Xiao Ao.

"It's gone already," Xiao Ao nodded, "We already had a lot of eyeliners in Luo Beicheng, so we'll hear news soon."

Xiao Chong pondered, but he didn't realize that the suspicious eyes of He Hui and others had turned to him.

Liang Qiu glanced at everyone, "I'll explain Xiao Chong's matter later, since everyone has no idea now, let's think about it first, and Chang Qin, you all just came back, you are covered in ashes, wash it off first."

Chang Qin sighed, rubbed his shoulders, "Understood," he dragged He Hui away at the same time, "Come with me."

Only Liang Qiu and Chang Qin are the most sensible now.

Not to mention caring about the family, it would be good if they didn't destroy their own family by themselves.

Shen Xiu looked at He Hui being taken away, and lowered his eyes slightly. He didn't doubt Xiao Chong's nature, and he could perceive some information from the current atmosphere, so he stretched out his hand to Ye Lan, "show me the letter." Bar."

Ye Lan was at a loss at this time, handed the letter to Shen Xiu, and swayed back to the seat just now, Liang Qiu stood beside him, pressing his shoulder, "Don't make things difficult for yourself, we don't know yet What the hell happened."

"Even if it's a big happy event, is it worth my brother sending a letter to each post station?"

Ye Lan's words were not pleasant, but they were indeed the truth. Liang Qiu couldn't comfort him, and looked at Xiao Chong who was sitting on the bed.

Xiao Chong winked at him, nodded slightly, Liang Qiu led everyone out, and picked up Xiao Ao's collar, "Tell me in detail what happened along the way."

The two of them were left in the room again, but the atmosphere was completely different.

Xiao Chong looked at Ye Lan, he didn't know how to comfort Ye Lan.

Ye Lan is very smart and understands all the reasons, so he doesn't need to comfort him, since he can't make Ye Lan feel at ease, it's better to be anxious with him.

"Tell me what happened in the city." Ye Lan covered her face and leaned on the bed with her elbows. "We have only set off for less than a month, and there was a lot of delay in the middle. Now we can go back in time."

"Okay." Xiao Chong said, "I'll get someone to prepare the fastest carriage for us, and we'll go back together."

"You know you can't!"

Xiao Chong looked at Ye Lan who was a bit broken, and said calmly, "But if you want to go, I will accompany you, even if you die."

"I don't want to die, and I don't want you to accompany me to die." Ye Lan took a deep breath, "I just want to know what happened."

Ye Lan wiped her face with her hands and regained her composure, "How soon will we get the news?"

"According to my estimate, it will take at least twelve days for the letter from the post station to arrive at Changling, which means that something happened in Luobei City twelve days ago. Of course, as an official in the city, the young master must know better than Xiao Ao and the others. The news needs to be early, so the letter can be sent out of the city in advance, if someone from Xiao Ao and the others can bring the news from the city, I think it will take only a day or two." Xiao Chong was more calm at this time, he knew that if he He also lost his mind because of nervousness, so no one can give Ye Lan an idea and calm Ye Lan's heart.

"One or two days," Ye Lan closed her eyes, "I don't know if I can wait."

"If we can't wait, we have to wait. Without information, we are like blind men. We can only deal with it if we know what happened in the city."

"Xiao Chong..." Ye Lan pursed her lower lips, "So many things happened in the city before, such as making weapons, mercenaries, and assassination, I'm afraid it's all going to explode now, father and mother... will they... Nothing will happen."

"Actually." Seeing that Ye Lan was still worried, Xiao Chong expressed his thoughts, "I don't think the young master's letter may be aimed at you. Even though so many things happened in the city, they are actually related to the Ye family No, and this is more likely aimed at Young Master Hui and Liang Qiu."

Ye Lan looked at Xiao Chong, "The fact that the two of them were assassinated on the road also..."

"Yes, the accident in Luo Beicheng is probably related to the sudden attack on the two of them," Xiao Chong continued to analyze, "Especially the tone of the young master, it is unusual, it must be a huge thing, the most likely is an accident In the He family, and if it is about the He family, "

Ye Lan raised her head, "If that's the case... Cousin's safety is..."

"Yes, instead of worrying about what's going on in Luobei City, we might as well worry about what's in front of us first. The insider who sent the assassin the news hasn't been found yet, and our situation won't be safe."

Xiao Chong and Ye Lan looked at each other, seeing Ye Lan's eyes sinking slightly, he knew that Ye Lan had returned to normal, and was calmer than usual.
