Chapter 451 The rest is left to the brothers
At the same time, the Censorate.
After Zuo Sixian saw Bai Yunfeng and others off, he walked back alone.
A soldier who was about to go home for the New Year saw him and greeted him cheerfully, "Master Zuo, I wish you a happy New Year in advance. Aren't you going home for the New Year yet?"
"I'm going back." Zuo Sixian curled his lips, "I'd also like to wish your family a happy New Year in advance."
As he spoke, he took out a silver coin and handed it over, "Go back and buy some wine and snacks."
"Thank you, Lord Zuo!" The soldier left happily.
Zuo Sixian went to his office. The entire Censorate was silent. Obviously, everyone who needed to go home had left.
Even when he returned home, his house was empty.
Zuo Sixian thought of Zuo Jiali. His younger brother should be in the Imperial College at this time, but... he guessed that there were probably not many people in the Imperial College. In other words, his younger brother was just like him, alone while others were in the group.
He sighed helplessly, feeling an inexplicable urge in his heart. Should he go to the Imperial College to see his brother?
Zuo Sixian knew that he shouldn't go. This was the best time for him to break off his relationship with Zuo Jiali. As long as they interacted less and less now, Zuo Jiali would be safer when something happened.
But he... really couldn't help it, his younger brother was the only person he truly cared about in all these years.
He struggled for a while, but finally got up and left the Censorate, taking a carriage to the Imperial College.
"Yes... Master Zuo Sixian?" The old man in charge of the Imperial College's gate recognized him. "Greetings, Master Zuo."
Zuo Sixian nodded.
"Today is New Year's Day, why don't you come home? Why are you here...? Do you have any instructions?" The old man was a little surprised.
He remembered some things Zuo Jiali had said, it seemed that the two brothers of the Zuo family had a conflict.
He couldn't help but smile and said, "Please don't think I'm being nosy when I say these things, sir. This New Year is a time for family reunions. A lot has indeed happened to the Zuo family this year, but precisely because of this, shouldn't Master Zuo and Second Young Master Zuo cherish each other even more?"
"Don't wait until you are in my situation, where you want to go home and can't find anyone to celebrate the New Year with. It will be too late to regret then." The old man shook his head helplessly.
Zuo Sixian frowned, sighed, and finally spoke, "Where are the disciples who stayed at the Imperial College for the New Year?"
"In the backyard." The old man said subconsciously.
"Thank you, old man." Zuo Sixian took out ten taels of silver and handed it over. "Please buy some wine, old man. Happy New Year!"
Then he walked towards the backyard.
The old man thought about it, then suddenly realized something, and shouted towards Zuo Sixian's back, "Master Zuo, Second Young Master Zuo is not in the backyard, he has already gone home."
Zuo Sixian stopped where he was and looked back in disbelief.
"Master Zuo, go back quickly. Your brother is waiting for you at home." The old man said with a smile.
"Thank you, old man." Zuo Sixian finally smiled, his steps became lighter, and he immediately left the Imperial College, got on the carriage, and rushed home.
Arriving at the Zuo Mansion, he got off the carriage and immediately checked with the gatekeeper, "Is the Second Young Master back?"
"Your Excellency, the Second Young Master is back." The servant replied respectfully.
Zuo Sixian took out a piece of silver and threw it over, then almost ran to find his brother.
The servant was obviously very happy to get the silver.
Zuo Sixian finally found Zuo Jiali in the kitchen. This guy had obviously lost a lot of weight and was preparing to make dumplings with the people in the kitchen.
When Zuo Jiali saw Zuo Sixian, he was also startled and stood up. After struggling for a while, he still shouted, "Brother..."
"Jia Li!" Zuo Sixian strode forward and hugged his brother.
"Brother, it's dirty!" Zuo Jiali felt a lump in his throat and tried to push Zuo Sixian away. He was covered in flour.
Zuo Sixian ignored him and hugged Zuo Jiali tightly, his eyes also hot.
Zuo Jiali tried hard to hold back his tears and asked in a somewhat arrogant tone, "Didn't brother say he wouldn't be coming back? Isn't he going to spend the New Year at the Metropolitan Censorate?"
Zuo Sixian finally let go of his brother and punched Zuo Jiali in the chest, "Stop talking nonsense. Brother is back to celebrate the New Year with you. Aren't you happy?"
"How dare I?" Zuo Jiali turned his head awkwardly. "This is the first year without my parents. Of course I want to spend it with my brother."
"Silly!" Zuo Sixian reached out to wipe his brother's tears. "Don't worry, I'll spend every year with you."
As long as we can deal with Bai Yunfeng tomorrow, the Zuo family will be completely safe.
He will definitely succeed.

At the Bai family, after Bai Qing'an read the letter, he gave it to Bai Yu'an and said, "Everyone, take a look."
Bai Yu'an nodded.
Bai Qing'an continued, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that tomorrow night, his men, as well as the Second Prince's men, will join us to protect Dad and...capture the assassins, leaving at least one alive, and expose the person behind them."
He turned to look at Li Suining, "Sister, have you asked Xingxing? Will things go smoothly tomorrow night?"
"I've asked before. He used to ask every day, and then the prince would change the plan," said the little dumpling anxiously, "but there are always new surprises. This is the last version of the plan prepared by the prince. Will there be any accidents..."
She glanced at the sky outside and said, "Wait a minute, I need to ask again, but..."
"It seems to be cloudy tonight." Xiao Wu added to her words.
Little Dumpling nodded. Indeed, she had just noticed that it seemed to be snowing tonight, so... the stars seemed not to appear.
"What should I do?" Li Suining felt uneasy.
"It's okay." Bai Qing'an patted his sister's head and comforted her. "After we have a look, we will make some more preparations. Don't forget, besides these people, there are also people from your third brother's side. There will be no problem."
After reading the letter, Bai Yu'an immediately handed it to Xiao Wu. "It contains some clues about the assassin Zuo Sixian might have found. You can have someone from Feiyun Sect check it out right away. It should take a day."
Xiao Wu nodded and took the letter.
"Don't worry, sister." Bai Yu'an gently pinched the little girl's cheek. "You have done a lot. You saved Daddy and our Bai family. Leave the rest to your brothers. Trust your brothers!"
"Yes, sister, now it's our brothers' turn to protect dad. Don't worry, we will definitely succeed." Bai Ruian patted his chest confidently.
"Yeah." Li Suining couldn't help being moved. She scanned her brothers' faces one by one. At this moment, she felt more clearly how good it was to have brothers to rely on.
At this time, Bai Yu'an continued, "Sister, that lucky star...how much do you know?"
