However, Nangong Yuan knew that all of this was just his own speculation. He would have to wait for the other party to make a next move. Therefore, in order to make the other party reveal their true colors as soon as possible, now was not a good time for him to appear alive.
Nangong Yuan planned to send Ye Yi and Ye Er back to Kyoto to investigate the situation, while he would stay here. If Zhen Dongli really started a war against Yanlang City, he could travel there from here in just three days at a fast pace, which would be several days faster than starting from Kyoto.
However, if that little woman knew that he was cured, given her personality, she would definitely not let him stay here any longer. Therefore, it seems that he can only continue to play dumb.
Ye Er woke up groggily in the morning. The pain and numbness in his body made him frown. However, he had no idea how he had fainted the day before. He only knew that he had suddenly lost consciousness due to a sharp pain and numbness in his body.
Han Yiyi also got up early, still feeling lingering fear about what happened to Ye Qian'an.
He originally thought that since so much time had passed and he hadn't bothered him, and he hadn't spread the word about the two of them, they would understand that he didn't want to get involved in their affairs, or rather, he hoped that Fan Ting would find out as late as possible.
Unexpectedly, he actually hired someone to kill him in order to take his own life.
Remembering what Zhang San had said last night that the two of them were government officials, Han Yiyi's eyes flickered, and she made the breakfast even more elaborate.
However, when he woke up in the morning, he did not see the man in black in the courtyard. He was a little puzzled and asked when he saw Ye Yi come out of the guest room.
"Brother Zhang, where did that man in black go last night...?"
When Ye Yi heard Han Yiyi address him, he was taken aback for a moment before remembering that he had told her yesterday that his name was Zhang Sanlai.
"Oh, because he is a wanted criminal, and to prevent any complications, he was sent to the local government office for interrogation last night. However, there are still some things that need to be confirmed with you, so we brought him back..."
Han Yi didn't understand the procedures of the government office here, so she naturally couldn't hear the loopholes in Ye Yi's words. When she heard that Ye Yi had a question to ask her, she subconsciously asked.
"What's up……".
"According to the black-clad man from yesterday, a man named Ye Qian'an paid him to take the young lady's life. As for Ye Qian'an, our yamen officials arrested him overnight. He has confessed that he harbored evil intentions towards the young lady because she knew some things she shouldn't have known. I wonder if the young lady is aware of this matter..."
Of course, these were all words that Nangong Yuan had instructed Ye Yi to say to Han Yi last night.
However, upon hearing Ye Yi's words, Han Yi thought to herself, "It really is that damned bastard," and quickly replied truthfully.
"Yes, it was by chance that I accidentally learned about his affair with someone else, which unexpectedly led to my death. I wonder if he will be released..."
"Don't worry, young lady. According to the laws of our dynasty, if someone hires someone to kill, even if the victim doesn't lose their life, the mastermind will be sentenced to life imprisonment. I think he won't have the chance to do evil again."
Hearing Ye Yi's words, Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but marvel at how quickly the government officials could get things done.
She was worried about how to ask the authorities to arrest Ye Qian'an, the mastermind behind it all, but when she woke up, everything was already resolved.
Han Yiyi immediately smiled and thanked him, "Thank you so much, Brother Zhang. You must be hungry after running around all night. Come quickly, I've cooked breakfast, come and eat something..."
Just as she finished speaking, Nangong Yuan walked back from the room. Han Yiyi first looked him up and down, and seeing that he did not seem to be acting strangely from hitting his head last night, she spoke.
"Yuan'er, come quickly, help your mother take the bowl to the main hall..."
In the past, Nangong Yuan would have happily replied, "Okay, Mother..." But now, he couldn't bring himself to say "Mother" even after several turns in his mouth.
Ye Yi was taken aback when he heard Han Yi address his general.
He had forgotten to ask his general why he called this woman "mother," but seeing the unnatural look on her face, he quickly spoke up to help her out of the predicament.
"How about I help you...?"
"No need, no need, Brother Zhang, please go sit in the main hall. I'll bring it over right away. Oh, by the way, your companion, he's awake now..."
Thinking of the person she had electrocuted last night, Han Yiyi tentatively asked.
"He's awake, he's awake..." Ye Yi had barely finished speaking when Ye Er walked out of the guest room with strange steps. Upon seeing his general, he was about to speak when Ye Yi interrupted him.
"Li Si, come and have breakfast. We need to get back to work quickly after we finish eating..." she said, giving him a quick wink.
When Han Yi heard the man's name was Li Si, she thought to herself, "Aren't these two names a bit too casual, calling each other Zhang San and Li Si like that?"
However, Ye Er was stunned by the shout and couldn't quite figure out what was going on. How did he end up becoming Li Si after waking up?
Seeing Ye Er's bewildered expression, Ye Yi quickly grabbed his arm, whispered something in his ear, and then pulled him into the main hall.
At this moment, Nangong Yuan didn't wait for Han Yiyi to call him again and hurriedly went into the kitchen to help bring out the bowls and chopsticks.
Han Yiyi didn't notice anything unusual about the others. After setting out the breakfast, she turned to Nangong Yuan and spoke.
"Yuan'er, you have breakfast with your two uncles. I'll go wake up your younger brother and sister..." he said, turning and leaving the hall.
"Uh-huh……".
However, Ye Yi and Ye Er, seeing their general nodding with his big teeth showing, forgot to chew the pancakes they had just put in their mouths. Ye Er, in particular, opened his mouth so wide that the pancake he had just bitten into fell onto the table with a thud.
However, in the next instant, Nangong Yuan only glanced at him indifferently, and Ye Er grabbed the pancake on the table with lightning speed and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ye Yi, standing to the side, lowered his head slightly and tried to chew the biscuit in his mouth, but the slight twitching of his mouth still betrayed his current mood.
Nangong Yuan ignored the two of them, only twitching his ears slightly before speaking.
“Every time I return to Kyoto, I must be careful not to reveal my identity, and even more so, I must not let anyone know that I am still alive…”
"yes……".
When Han Yiyi led the two little ones in, the three of them had already finished eating. Yes, literally finished eating; they had eaten the entire breakfast on the table!
Looking at all the empty plates and bowls, Han Yiyi had the illusion that bandits had invaded the village.
