Chapter 2727 Taihe Academy
The yamen runner asked Su Yan and the other two to wait for a while, and he never came back after he left.
After half an hour, Captain Zhao still did not show up.
Dark clouds blocked the sun, there were a few raindrops in the wind, and the sky was gloomy, as if dusk had come early.
Not to mention Qin Wanyue, even Su Yan couldn't completely let go.
The two of them were guarding the gate, and occasionally they could see yamen runners hurrying by. Su Yan wanted to find out some information, but could only get a vague smile in return.
The sound of the wind was getting stronger and stronger. Chu Feng walked to the tree in the yard holding an oil-paper umbrella. He paused after seeing the two of them. Qin Wanyue's thoughts became active.
She bit her lower lip gently, her eyes showing rare tenderness as she looked at Chu Feng expectantly.
Chu Feng hesitated for a moment and walked towards Qin Wanyue.
The breath that Qin Wanyue had been holding in her heart was completely relieved at this moment.
Chu Feng still firmly chose her, and that was all good.
Chu Feng held an umbrella for Qin Wanyue, with the umbrella tilted towards Qin Wanyue, and rain fell on Chu Feng's shoulders.
Qin Wanyue's heart began to beat rapidly.
Chu Feng really has her in his heart.
But since Chu Feng chose her, Su Yan was left alone, and Qin Wanyue actually felt pity for her.
Su Yan has no power or influence, and is a lowly coroner. With such conditions, it is difficult for any man to be likable to her.
She finally met Chu Feng, who was different from those vulgar people, but Chu Feng's mind was not on her, which was also heartbreaking.
Qin Wanyue spoke to Su Yan in a rare friendly manner, "Su Yan, let's go in and wait. We can't fall ill before we get sick."
Su Yan didn't care much about the rain, and just said, "I'm always uneasy. You guys go in, I'll be there in a while."
Qin Wanyue didn't think there was anything wrong. She was about to go back to the room with Chu Feng, but she saw that Chu Feng's shoulders were covered with water droplets. She took out her handkerchief and wanted to wipe the rain off Chu Feng's shoulders.
Although Qin Wanyue and Chu Feng have known each other for a long time and have always been fond of him, they are both very self-disciplined and even when they go out on the street together, they always keep a proper distance. This is the first time they have had such close contact.
The moment she got close to Chu Feng, Qin Wanyue's heart beat fast and she was a little flustered when she took the handkerchief. A sudden strong wind blew and blew the handkerchief away.
Qin Wanyue was about to scream, but she was concerned that Chu Feng was right next to her, so she had to hold it in, but her eyes kept following the handkerchief.
This scene made Su Yan want to laugh.
She knew that although Qin Wanyue had the temper of a spoiled young lady, she was actually a kind-hearted person. Thinking that Qin Wanyue might like the handkerchief very much, she wanted to help her pick it up.
The handkerchief was blown by the wind onto the stone road in front of the classroom and was already wet by the rain.
Su Yan stepped over the threshold and walked out. The stone road was empty, and the yamen runners who usually appeared were not here.
The entire county government office was silent, so silent that Su Yan felt increasingly uneasy.
Su Yan walked to the handkerchief and was about to bend down to pick it up when he suddenly heard footsteps.
The footsteps were so light that they were almost covered by the sound of the wind. If Su Yan had not been extremely sensitive to sounds and smells, he would not have been able to hear them.
Thinking that he didn't see anyone just now, Su Yan was confused. He stopped and looked up.
A young man walked up to Su Yan. He was wearing a stone-blue brocade gown, a jade hairpin on his head, a crystal jadeite around his waist, eyes like bright stars, and a handsome and graceful demeanor.
Even though Su Yan only paid attention to the appearance of the deceased and did not care about beauty or ugliness, when he saw the person in front of him, he couldn't help but admire him in his heart.
He is truly elegant and radiant like a spring flower.
But when Su Yan looked at this face, he felt extremely familiar. He was...
Without waiting for Su Yan to ask, the man bent over, picked up the handkerchief and handed it to Su Yan.
Qin Wanyue looked at the man in surprise for a moment, and walked over involuntarily.
She had seen all the prominent figures in Anping Town, including many young men from wealthy families, but none of them had the temperament to compare with the person in front of her.
Chu Feng didn't have time to catch up with Qin Wanyue. The gradually rapid rain hit Qin Wanyue's forehead. She came back to her senses, glanced at the man and Su Yan, and pulled Su Yan behind her first.
Qin Wanyue coughed lightly and said, "She is the coroner of the government office. We have new clues in the case, so we came here to ask the county magistrate for instructions. The county magistrate of Anping Town is my father. If you have any questions, just ask him."
There was actually a hint of protecting Su Yan in his words.
When Shi Yan Gui heard this, his thin lips lifted slightly.
He handed the handkerchief back to Su Yan, his voice as cold as the moon, but with a rare hint of a smile, "Did Miss Su really become a coroner?"
Qin Wanyue looked over in surprise.
Judging from Shi Yangui's attire, he was definitely not an ordinary person. How could he recognize Su Yan? And he even knew that she was a coroner?
It was hard to describe Su Yan's expression as calm.
She concealed the surging emotions in her heart, took the handkerchief and handed it to Qin Wanyue.
Qin Wanyue looked even more puzzled, "Su Yan, do you recognize him? Do you really recognize him?"
"He is..." Su Yan looked at Shi Yangui, hesitant to speak.
A few years ago, the Su family picked up a 15 or 16-year-old boy in the wilderness. The boy was covered in wounds and was dying.
Su Mao cured the boy and he lived in the Su family for a while. But not long after, the Su family suffered a devastating disaster.
Su Yan thought that the young man had died in the fire along with his parents.
After so many years, he was still alive and appeared in front of her.
Shi Yangui saw Su Yan frowning, thought for a moment, and took the initiative to say, "Many years ago, I was in trouble, and Miss Su's family took care of me. I never thought that such an accident would happen. How are Miss Su's parents now?"
The moment he heard this, Su Yan almost wanted to shout and ask, what were the origins of those men in black back then, did they really have nothing to do with him? !
Qin Wanyue was confused. "You said Su Yan saved you? But who... who are you?"
"My name is Shi Yangui," Shi Yangui kept looking at Su Yan and said neither servilely nor arrogantly, "I was in trouble back then and cannot tell you my true identity. Please forgive me."
Qin Wanyue pinched herself hard to stop herself from screaming.
Although she had never met Shi Yangui in person, she knew his name.
The former major general of the Changwei Army, now the general commanding the entire army, is Shi Yangui.
He became a major general at the age of twelve, and fought on the battlefield with many soldiers. He not only fought a bloody battle for the Great Zhou Dynasty, but also became a famous figure. Today, the short-lived stability of the Great Zhou Dynasty is inseparable from the blood and tears shed by many soldiers of the Changwei Army.
Qin Wanyue knew that Shi Yangui was young, but she didn't know he was so handsome. Although he was handsome, his eyes were full of murderous intent, and it was obvious that he had fought on the battlefield.
Qin Wanyue looked at Shi Yangui in amazement.
Completely different from Qin Wanyue's reaction, Su Yan's brows were still furrowed, and she silently repeated Shi Yan Gui's name in her heart.
At that time, Yan Gui said his surname was Yan and his given name was Lin. He said that his hometown had suffered a disaster and he and his parents encountered bandits when they were fleeing. His parents were killed by the bandits and he almost died. Fortunately, he got help from the Su family and barely managed to save his life.
It turns out these were all lies.
Although Qin Wanyue's mind was not very delicate, she could see that Su Yan was acting abnormally at this moment.
This damn girl is usually the best at flattering people. She says one thing to one person and another thing to another person, and she has fooled her old father around. But now when she sees Shi Yan Gui, she has no reaction at all. It is really strange.
Qin Wanyue took the handkerchief first and said, "General Shi, are you here to see my father?"
This is a bit like chasing people away.
Shi Yangui said politely, "I heard that the coroner in the county government office was a woman, so I guessed it might be Miss Su, so I came here specifically to look for her."
Su Yan couldn't make the situation more embarrassing.
Even if she had thousands of questions to ask Shi Yangui, she couldn't ask them in front of Qin Wanyue and Chu Feng.
Su Yan pretended to be relaxed and said, "Miss Qin, Yan... he and I are old acquaintances. He once recuperated in my home."
Qin Wanyue was full of doubts, "Is General Shi recuperating at your house?"
Su Yan didn't know how to explain.
Shi Yangui said calmly, "In the battle with the Hu people, the Changwei Army was at a disadvantage. I got separated from the cavalry and was seriously injured. Fortunately, I met Miss Su and was able to save my life."
Su Yan's eyebrows jumped, and a smile appeared on his lips. He responded enthusiastically: "I always thought you had an extraordinary temperament and were not an ordinary person. I didn't expect you to be a general. Our Su family has done a good thing."
Qin Wanyue: “…”
Chu Feng: “…”
The emotion was really awkward.
Su Yan's smile became more and more sincere. "If my parents knew that General Shi is still alive, they would definitely be happy. If General Shi is free, why not come to our house and visit us?"
Shi Yangui lowered his head to meet Su Yan's gaze.
Behind Su Yan's sincere words was - "He ran away without saying a word back then. Who knows if you brought the bad guys here! Maybe they were your accomplices!"
"You said you were going to rescue someone, but where are the people you rescued? Where are the people?!"
"First, I'll trick you into my house, drug you so that you pass out, then tie you up and torture you. I won't believe you and won't tell the truth!"
Shi Yangui smiled softly and said, "I'm free tonight."
