"This time it's '禾'! There is a mark, but the content is different?" Ye Xinran was puzzled, "What does this mean?"
Gu Yanming was also a little confused. He thought that Hua Zhang would also have three strokes on his feet, which would prove that the person who assassinated him, Liang Duzhu, and Hua Zhang were the same person. Now, he couldn't be sure whether Hua Zhang was related to them.
Seeing that the fire was under control and they were no longer needed, Gu Yanming and Ye Xinran hurried back to the inn.
Before returning to the post station, I went to report my safety to Ye Liang and his wife. Because Rourou was still young and needed care, I put her next to Ji Hua Qiang Qi and let them take care of her. The two of them loved her very much.
The two soldiers followed Gu Yanming. Dong Shu and Cheng Liang were already familiar with Ye Liang and his wife, and would help cover them. Seeing Ye Xinran and his wife coming back, they secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then happily followed them back to the post station.
After returning, he had another conversation with the old princess and others.
Gu Yanxin came close to Ye Xinran and whispered to her. "Sister-in-law, I don't know what's wrong with my second brother. He's been standing there in a daze! It seems like he can't figure out something!"
Ye Xinran followed Gu Yanxin's gaze and saw Gu Yanlin there with his head down in deep thought, frowning and sighing from time to time.
She curled her lips. Why else could she do that? Because of Fang Sihua. Fang Sihua had her tendons cut and her tongue pulled out by Jianshu before. Of course, she couldn't go back to the exile team.
Gu Yanming originally thought that he would just pretend she was missing, but was stopped by Ye Xinran.
Ye Xinran still remembered that in the village before, Fang Sihuan said that she had the ability to predict the future, and mentioned several major events that would happen in the future. Liang Duzhu sent someone to notify the person behind the scenes at that time, thinking that the person behind the scenes would find a way to contact Fang Sihuan or take Fang Sihuan away.
So he asked Gu Yanming if he had anyone under his command who could disguise himself as Fang Sihuan, so that he could lure out the person behind the scenes.
As it turned out, there really was one, a female secret guard Meishu who was good at disguise. Ye Xinran had met her before, and she was indeed amazing. She couldn't tell that she was the real Fang Sihuan, even the movements and eyes were similar. Gu Yanming told Ye Xinran that it was Jianshu who described Fang Sihuan's personality and some details in detail.
But there is only one thing that is different, that is, Fang Sihuan's tea-like aroma is gone, and she no longer cares about Gu Yanlin, but is polite to him.
So at this time, Gu Yanlin, who was in love, felt bad.
Ye Xinran ignored these trivial matters and handed a heavy burden to Gu Yanxin.
"Fifth sister, you keep the things in there. If you need anything, share them with me!"
Gu Yanxin nodded, took it, and said seriously, "Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will keep it well!"
In the past few days, there were always people who wanted to take their things, but they were all scolded back by Gu Yanxin. She felt that she was getting more and more powerful. She had long forgotten her modesty as a young lady. When she was a child, her dream of going to the battlefield and becoming a female general became stronger and stronger.
It was already late, and Ye Xinran was still practicing in the corner of the yard as usual, with Gu Yanming accompanying her.
This time, she had a vague feeling that her internal strength was about to break through the second level and reach the third level.
Ye Xinran did not sleep that night, and kept practicing. Gu Yanming guarded him all night, and even when Jianshu and Daoqin said they wanted to replace him, he refused to go. He guarded him seriously.
This night was destined to be uneasy. A group of men in black quietly broke into the city defense house. Even though Su Changfeng was well prepared and Gu Yanming and Zhu Qian had arranged people in advance, they still suffered heavy losses, with most of them killed or injured.
This also made it more certain that Su Changfeng might have something on the other party, which was why he allowed the other party to take such a fatal action.
…
At the door of the main room of the Yan Mansion, Old Yan stood, looking very cautious, massaging the shoulders of Old Madam Yu who was sitting. There were bruises all over her face from being beaten, and one of her eyes could hardly open.
Madam Yu frowned and was obviously in a very low mood.
"Old woman, I know I was wrong! Look, you've punished me and beaten me! You've also taken back the banknotes, but why are you still angry?" Seeing that Old Madam Yu was unhappy, Old Yan felt nervous, fearing that she would do something weird.
At this time, Wu Neng walked over quickly, saluted the two, and saw the wound on Old Yan's face, and his mouth twitched.
Hey, why does he get slapped in the face every time? He has to explain to people everywhere that his old lady is kind-hearted and there is no domestic violence. It was the master who fell down himself!
"Madam, I have prepared a carriage for you. Your things have been packed and you can leave at any time."
"What, old woman! Where are you going?" Old Yan was anxious. "I just hid some private money, how can you run away from home? You are already old, this is not allowed! Change something else! Besides, didn't you just get here?"
Madam Yu stepped directly on Old Man Yan's foot!
"Who's old? You're only old!"
Old Yan reacted quickly and dodged directly, his back was covered with cold sweat. Unfortunately, the bluestone slab could not be dodged and cracked again.
Wu Neng wanted to cry. It cracked again. He just asked someone to replace it this afternoon! This is the fourth piece. The key is that Madam Yu demands quality in life, so everything in the house is top-quality, including the bluestone slabs. Each piece costs at least half a tael of silver!
"Who said I ran away from home!" Old Madam Yu snorted coldly, "It's better to kick you out of the house!"
When Mr. Yan heard this, he quickly said in a flattering tone, "No, just don't run away from home, then why are you preparing a carriage?"
"You seem to be in a bad mood, why?"
Old Yan was like a lackey pouring water for Old Madam Yu, "It's late at night, drink less tea and more water!"
"Oh, I think it's eleven!" Old Madam Yu's voice was filled with sadness.
Old Yan's body stiffened and he pursed his lips. Eleven was their daughter, but she was gone before she was fifteen. Every time he thought of her, it was the greatest pain for the old couple.
"My daughter will be very happy to know that you miss her!" Old Yan comforted her clumsily, without his previous cynicism.
"She is in another world, and everything must be fine. If you worry about her, she will be sad too."
Madam Yu nodded, "Do you know why I took in Xinran?"
Old Yan sighed, "Maybe he thinks that girl doesn't look like a daughter at all!"
Madam Yu nodded, "There is also a cinnabar mole in the same position on her arm. And I checked before and found that she was also born in November."
Old Yan was surprised. He had not noticed these things. He wanted to take her as his apprentice because he discovered that she had good qualifications and was Gu Yanming's princess.
"The little girl has good talent, she's clever and kind, so I'll just take her in and teach her well!"
Madam Yu nodded, "I have already decided to hold a disciple-taking ceremony in Xiangcheng, where they will pass through in exile."
Old Yan curled his lips and muttered quietly, "I haven't held a disciple-taking ceremony either!"
"Can it be the same? You have accepted three disciples, and if you meet a good one in the future, you will accept another one! I am different. Xinran is my only closed disciple! Of course I have to value her!"
Mr. Yan didn't feel there was any difference. He only knew that he had no money, but his wife had money, so she had the final say.
