Su Ci rushed into the large desk in the small room, pulled out the armchair, and lay on the antique display cabinet against the wall, quickly groping around in the fourth and fifth compartments.
——The last time she was leaning on the couch, reading a book and talking to Yang Yanzong, she saw him stand up, open the secret compartment and put a letter he had just read into it. He didn't raise his hand specifically at that time, and the mechanism should be at the height of the fourth or fifth compartment.
Su Ci moved all the things one by one, but sometimes the more anxious she was, the harder it was to find them. Then she heard running footsteps outside. It was Daming. Daming shouted anxiously, "The Imperial Guards are only a mile away!"
Su Ci's forehead was covered with sweat. She leaned in to look with wide eyes, and quickly twisted and tried on the antique display cabinet. Fortunately, her memory was correct at the last moment. She leaned in to look for a while, and finally found that there was a forehead carved with a small auspicious beast on the edge that was slightly smoother than the others. She pressed it hurriedly, but there was no movement, so she twisted it left and right with force, and with a "click", the secret compartment opened!
There were several private seal boxes inside, as well as a large pile of private letters and official documents. Su Ci quickly took them out: "Quick, come over and identify them!"
She quickly opened the box and took out the private seals to look at them. She found that there was nothing wrong with them. They were all official seals. She closed the box and put it back. Ah Zhao had already quickly read through the letters. She said, "Just give me some if you are sure there is no problem!"
Azhao stuffed some things over to him, Su Ci took them and quickly stuffed them back, then closed the secret compartment. Azhao and Daming hurriedly put the things on the antique shelf and the armchair back in place, and Su Ci picked up the remaining things on the desk and quickly ran to the small kitchen.
There are small kitchens in the front yard and the east courtyard. The stove is kept on fire for twelve hours. At this moment, the cook is cooking dinner and boiling water. Ah Zheng had already run to find an excuse to call the cook out. Su Ci squatted down and stuffed the pile of letters in her arms into the stove.
Fortunately, there is no fingerprint and scar inspection these days.
Su Ci poked the fire stick inside, and the fire immediately engulfed the letter. As she fiddled with it, she thought to herself, Okay, Yang Yanzong, that bastard, I can't get angry with her again this time.
Having said that, I don’t know what happened to him. They even had to search his study. It’s really worrying.
The letters were burned up in an instant. Su Ci stirred them with a fire poker. The paper ashes and firewood ashes were mixed together and could not be distinguished. She stuffed in a few handfuls of straw to start the fire. After the straw was burned out, she put some hard firewood in. No trace of the letters could be seen anymore.
At this time, the sound of horse hooves hitting the ground could be heard, and the imperial guards in the front were tiptoeing and had already arrived at the gate of the Yang family.
A group of people rushed into the gate of Yang's house. The leader of the Imperial Guards and the Supervisory Office took out a golden order and raised it. Without saying a word, he waved his hand and went straight to every room in the front yard, focusing on the outer study where there were obviously personal soldiers standing guard.
Su Ci washed her hands, patted her body and head, and rushed out quickly. When she looked up, she saw her acquaintance Tong Jie'en, but Tong Jie'en had a stern look on his face at this time, so she didn't rush to get close to him. The other party took a few craftsmen into the outer study and began to search. Su Ci thought about it, followed him in and stood at the door.
The leader of the imperial guards and Tong Jie'en looked back at her. She smiled and said, "The eldest master has a lot of important documents in his study. He told me to be careful. I have to take a look to prevent them from being lost."
Tong Jie'en ignored her: "Search, search it carefully for me, pay attention to the secret compartments and secret doors! Make sure nothing is left out!"
There are still talented people in the imperial court. For example, the craftsmen specially brought here this time are from the Ministry of Works who specialize in this. One of them even participated in the design of the mechanisms of the imperial mausoleum. He is very talented. It is estimated that there are few secret compartments or doors in the world that can be hidden from him.
Su Ci watched the old man knocking left and right. It took him about half an hour to finally knock on the antique shelf, and then it quickly stopped there. Su Ci guessed that Yang Yanzong's secret compartment was also relatively hidden, because it took the old man some time to determine the location of the secret compartment, and then it took him almost half an hour to open it, and finally he successfully opened the secret compartment.
By this time, the outer study had been searched and nothing was found wrong. Tong Jie'en immediately ordered his attendants to take out the contents of the secret compartment, open the letters, and read them one by one.
Of course there is no problem with that.
In total, this group of eunuchs and imperial guards searched for nearly two hours, even turning over the bedrooms of Yang Yanzong and Su Ci, but they found nothing and finally had to leave.
It was already midnight. Su Ci stood outside the gate, looking at the billowing dust as the horses returned to Yangdu. She told Ah Zhao, "You and Daming should hurry back. Stay in Yangdu and keep a close eye on the situation. Send someone back to report if there are any changes."
"My father and Yan Xin are in the camp, right? We just need to keep it stable for now." She was not worried about this. Her father had gone through so many ups and downs, so she didn't need to worry about that.
As for the family, she instructed Ah Zheng: "Calm the servants, but do not move around randomly. Keep the doors closed. No one is allowed to enter or leave the house without my permission. Stay well and do not cause trouble."
"yes!"
There wasn't much Su Ci could do, but it went without saying that she had to stabilize the rear and not cause trouble for Yang Yanzong. She didn't know what the situation was on his side, but she still had confidence in Yang Yanzong, so she didn't panic. She retracted her gaze, and after instructing Azhao and others to go about their business, she thought for a while, and went to Yang Chongying's study.
The front yard was searched for no reason. Yan, who was recuperating, probably didn't know about it, but Yang Chongying's west courtyard and the front yard must have been disturbed, so she had to go and tell them.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Yang Chongying's servant running out hurriedly. Yang Chongying was standing by the small door of the west courtyard and walking out. She hurried to meet him.
…
Let’s not talk about the trivial matters in Suiping for now and return to Yangdu.
The temporary detention prison to the west of the imperial city had dim lights and gray-black log fences. The environment here was not damp, but somewhat chilly. The military supervisor brought in quilts but did not dare to speak. It was unusually quiet.
Yang Yanzong and his uncle Kun were not put in shackles or changed into prison uniforms. After all, there was no clear charge against the two.
Those who can enter here will have one foot in heaven and one foot in hell. It is very likely that they will never be able to get out, but it is also possible that they will be intact. No one can say for sure.
Yang Yanzong and Uncle Kun were sitting next to each other, one in a room, one on the left corner and the other on the right corner. They could see each other if they wanted to, but they didn't have to. The two hadn't spoken a word to each other since they came in, each leaning against the wall with their eyes closed.
The news that the Imperial Guards and the Supervisory Office who had gone to Suiping had returned empty-handed had already been received. Tong Jie'en packed the letters in the secret compartment into a box and brought them back to the emperor for preview. Although those letters were confidential, they were all official letters and none of them had any problems.
It is said that the old emperor threw the box after reading it.
Yang Yanzong raised his eyebrows, no one knew what was in his secret compartment better than he did. As for the result, it would depend on whoever could handle it faster. There would be no second choice.
That girl has always been so smart, and she and he get along perfectly.
Yang Yanzong couldn't help but laugh, raised the corners of his lips and laughed twice.
But after laughing, he thought of her and couldn't help getting angry again. He was still very annoyed with her.
With a cold snort in his heart and refusing to think about Su Ci anymore, Yang Yanzong opened his eyes.
He had actually been prepared for Zhang Boqian's move, and he did not store the most confidential things in the secret compartment.
It will be a bit troublesome, but he is not without means to deal with it.
But now, thanks to Su Ci's cleverness, he was able to save himself from this trouble.
…
During this period, the old emperor ordered people to keep an eye on the two men, but both Yang Yanzong and Uncle Kun just waited quietly and were not panicked.
After receiving the report, the old emperor sneered.
You are sure that I won't do anything to you, right?
Especially Yang Yanzong, who gave him the courage and confidence? It's so ridiculous!
I want to see how hard your bones are!
The old emperor sneered repeatedly.
…
Uncle Kun was also a little surprised about this.
The prison to the west of the imperial city.
The military supervisor who delivered food came again with a food box. Uncle Kun raised his eyelids. He could hear some noise behind the wall around the corner and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
The man surnamed Yang was quite calm. He said that as long as the three royal palaces were still standing, the old emperor would release him no matter what.
But as for Yang Yanzong, it’s hard to say.
Uncle Kun dragged the food box over, opened it, lowered his head and picked up the chopsticks, and said coldly: "Zhang Boqian has been your majesty's confidant for twenty years."
It turned out that this matter was a gamble on the emperor's trust, but Zhang Boqian had been the emperor's confidant since his father's generation, and he was definitely not comparable to Yang Yanzong, who had just come over.
That’s right, Uncle Kun had already guessed something about the agreement between Yang Yanzong and the emperor after passing through Shangyang Palace the day before yesterday.
He snorted and laughed. An ambitious opportunist like Yang Yanzong really dared to fish in troubled waters.
Yang Yanzong smiled faintly, picked up the still hot food and put it into his mouth. He didn't respond, but his expression didn't change - since he did this, he must have made some arrangements and was confident about it.
Otherwise, if he got rid of Zhang Boqian but failed to replace him, it would attract the old emperor's attention. What was the point of his getting involved?
Yang Yanzong paused with his chopsticks and narrowed his eyes slightly. He recalled the quick glimpse of the old emperor in Shangyang Palace - the old emperor looked even older, his back could no longer be straightened, he was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, and there was an indelible dark color between his brows.
He suddenly thought of what Su Ci had said before - after Su Ci escaped from the palace, she once told Yang Yanzong privately that surgery at this age would consume vitality. The old emperor has been suffering from injuries and illness for such a long time. Even if he recovers, it will be difficult for him to live long.
It's like a leaky winnowing basket. No matter how capable the imperial physician is, it will be useless if the hole cannot be plugged.
Yang Yanzong raised his eyebrows, said nothing, and continued to eat and pick up dishes calmly.
After the meal, the military supervisor came to collect the food boxes. When the food boxes were dragged over, the other party suddenly threw a small paper ball over silently.
Yang Yanzong picked it up and opened it, and saw that "everything is ready, the four kings are about to launch an attack."
It was unsigned and just graffiti, but needless to say, it was the message conveyed by Ji Yuanhao, which was what the two had discussed before.
He raised his eyebrows. Ji Yuanhao actually reached out to the military supervisor. He was indeed a capable man.
If Ji Lin had not been extremely vigilant against him, he would probably suffer a great loss in the future.
However, this is a good thing for Yang Yanzong. After all, he and Ji Yuanhao are currently working together.
…
Under the instigation of Ji Yuanhao, the four kings soon launched an uprising. First, the censor made a death-defying remonstration in person, saying that the emperor should treat the people like his own children and have more sympathy for the people in the disaster-stricken areas. The 56 million taels of official silver were hard-earned, and Your Majesty should not shield Zhang Boqian.
Who is the master behind Zhang Boqian?
The words were cryptic, but in connection with the gossip caused by the news released by the three major royal palaces in recent days, the accusation was directed at the emperor - accusing the emperor of leading the silver sinking case, which eventually went off track and was taken advantage of by the Northern Rong people, resulting in the loss of 21 million taels of official silver.
There is no need to die for criticizing Zhang Boqian.
It is necessary to warn the old emperor.
The old emperor was so furious that he accused the man of talking nonsense and directly raided his house!
But this touch of bright red in the court was just the beginning. Soon the Four Kings joined forces with the Sixth King and the Seventh King and came with great momentum, with the Four Kings pointing their swords at the Zuowei!
Now, the Left Guard Commander-in-Chief Zhang Boqian has become a suspect of treason. Even if he is lucky enough to save his life, it will be impossible for him to be reinstated. Yang Yanzong was detained in a temporary prison for unknown reasons, and several middle-level generals were taken down with him. Now the entire Zuowei Camp is leaderless! If you don’t act now, when will you? !
The thunderous moves of the Four Princes, in addition to taking the initiative to clear the Four Princes' Palaces and protect their trusted general Chen Chengyi, are more importantly for interests, especially since the commander-in-chief of the guards was also pulled down the day before yesterday. Suddenly, multiple high positions in the left and right guards are vacant. Except for the Sixth Prince's Palace, which suffered the most damage, the Fourth Prince's Palace and the Seventh Prince's Palace, Kun's family, are like sharks smelling blood!
There was chaos in the court, and at this moment, an urgent military report came from outside the capital, eight hundred miles away!
——The Northern Rong invaded the border again!
The Beirong people refused to admit that they had finally obtained 21 million taels of silver. Using this as an excuse, and given that the disaster inside Beirong was so serious that they had to replenish it, the 14th Army launched an attack at the same time, launched surprise attacks in three directions, and looted the border towns in the north of the Great Wall. Xu Shigong, the General of the Cavalry who was in charge of the northern border, urgently sent troops to resist the enemy and gather the people, and hurriedly sent a military report of 800 miles to inform the enemy and request support.
The Northern Rong army came with great force, and the border troops had a hard time!
It is worth noting that General Xu Shigong also specifically mentioned Yang Yanzong, because Yang Yanzong had participated in two wars with the Northern Rong, which lasted for five years. He had fought against the current Zuo Xian King of the Northern Rong many times and won most of the time, so he was very familiar with him.
The left wing of the three armies of the Northern Rong was led by Zuo Xian Wang. After suffering a loss two years ago, many generals of the Northern Frontier were injured, so there was a lack of young men. Xu Shigong's urgent military report was also attached with a memorial: he specifically named several brave generals who had fought in the Northern Rong, and Yang Yanzong was at the front, emphasizing that they were necessary!
At the end of the old general's memorial, he also said: Tell the old emperor not to be too stubborn and prejudiced. The frontier is the most important thing. Since he is innocent, release him immediately and don't keep him in prison.
The old general is seventy years old this year, but he is still in good health. He is a veteran minister of three dynasties and the same age as the old emperor. His mother is the Grand Princess. He himself was a senior minister of the previous emperor. It is true that he is a royalist, but he is not the kind of minister who obeys orders without reason. He has a lot of personality and is not afraid of the emperor. He has made great contributions to the country and speaks honestly and bluntly.
The old emperor was furious, but he could do nothing about it. He held the memorial with a gloomy expression for a long while, and finally ordered: "Go! Release Yang Yanzong, tell him to immediately sort out all the affairs of the Left Guard, and then rush to Gaobian!"
He threw the memorial on the table, stared coldly at the palace door through which Sun Shiping hurriedly ran, and thought to himself, Yang Yanzong, you must not let me know that you were involved in this, otherwise, humph!
Yang Yanzong certainly did not have the energy to drive the Northern Rong to send troops or bribe the old general. He just anticipated that the Northern Rong would send troops.
If the Northern Rong does not send troops, they will soon be unable to hold on. Even if it is not for plunder, it is also for the sake of eliminating domestic conflicts. He has a deep understanding of the Northern Rong and judges that the Northern Rong will inevitably send troops out of anger if they gain nothing this time.
As expected.
Yang Yanzong broke out of the detention prison west of the imperial city that day and within one day, he calmed down the leaderless Left Guard Camp. During this period, he made adjustments and promotions without any fear or restraint. He sent the petition directly to the cabinet, and except for a few important positions, other personnel were quickly put in order, and the Left Guard Camp quickly became orderly.
…
Four Princes' Palace.
The Fourth Prince and the Crown Prince Ji Lin sat opposite each other in the large study room in the outer courtyard. The Fourth Prince soon got the news and couldn't help but say, "This Yang is really amazing."
He managed to stabilize the Left Guard Battalion so quickly. His skills and abilities are first-rate. Not to mention, the position of the commander-in-chief of the Left Guard Battalion may very well fall into his hands in the end.
The fourth prince groaned for a moment and said, "In this case, it would be better for us to focus on the Right Guard Commander."
Ji Lin had no objection to this point. He had discussed this with Mr. Xia and others before, and Mr. Xia also held the same opinion.
The fourth prince leaned back on the armchair, rubbed his forehead, and immediately called someone in. After giving a few instructions, he said, "Go and call Bochen."
The candidate who was pushed forward to compete for the position of commander-in-chief of the left and right guards this time was Ji Yuanhao.
After Ji Lin and the other four kings finished their instructions and everyone left, Ji Yuanhao had not come yet. He pondered for a while and whispered, "Dad, are we really going to push Ji Bochen up this time?"
Ji Yuanhao, Ji Lin's peer, has always been recognized and feared by Ji Lin for his abilities. It's because people who come out of the law of the jungle are usually a double-edged sword. If they can't hold it well, it's easy to hurt their hands.
He is young, so naturally he is more wary.
And as far as Ji Lin knew, his father had always been both using and guarding against Ji Yuanhao.
Ji Lin was a little worried.
The Fourth King certainly knew this, and he exhaled, "But we don't have a more suitable candidate."
The Fourth Prince certainly knew Ji Lin's concerns. The Fourth Prince knew his adopted son better than Ji Lin did. However, under the joint instigation of Ji Yuanhao and Yang Yanzong, especially the former, the Fourth Prince's Palace currently had no more suitable contender.
It is even more regrettable to let it go in vain.
The Fourth Prince lowered his eyes. There was something he had not discussed with his son. He had also carefully observed the old emperor's expression. He keenly guessed that the old emperor might not have much time left, five years, three years, or even two years.
The final moment has arrived. After years of competition, it all depends on who will be the winner.
In such an environment, they could not afford to be restrained, so after considering it, the four kings finally decided to push Ji Yuanhao forward.
——And there is another side to the story. If Ji Yuanhao is deliberately not pushed in such an obvious opportunity, Ji Yuanhao will definitely understand that this will instead give rise to disloyalty even if there is no disloyalty at all.
Due to various considerations, the Four Princes' Palaces finally made this decision.
The Fourth Prince said slowly, "He cannot leave the Fourth Prince's Mansion for a while. His wife, concubines and family are also in the Fourth Prince's Mansion. For a short period of time, the Fourth Prince's Mansion can still restrain him."
"Okay, let's do it this way."
Now that the decision has been made, there is no need to hesitate. The Fourth Prince said, "Okay, Lin'er, go back to Suiping first and get everything done."
"yes!"
…
Not long after Yang Yanzong was released, the case of Zhang Boqian was finally concluded.
He returned to the Zuowei Camp with lightning speed, shocking many people. It took him a whole day. In addition to putting the Zuowei Camp in order, he also successfully instigated and won over one of Zhang Boqian's trusted generals.
It is an eternal truth that food and fodder must be sent before the army moves. Yang Yanzong never fights a battle without confidence when there is no need to take risks. As early as when he swam south to the river and confirmed Zhang Boqian's attitude for the first time, Yang Yanzong ordered his men to disembark and return north to pass on the message before anyone could react, and secretly investigate Zhang Boqian's family and close friends.
It didn't take long to find this loophole.
This deputy general named Cai Yuanwei had poor personal ethics and was caught by Yang Yanzong. He also had a heavy family burden. As the pillar of the family, he absolutely could not fall.
Long before he met the emperor in Shangyang Palace, Yang Yanzong had come into contact with this person. This time he returned in one piece, and the balance in this person's heart was inevitably tilted.
Yang Yanzong sat upright behind the Grand Master's chair and said slowly, "Zhang Boqian will never be reinstated. Tell me, why are you doing this?"
The man was leaning back in the armchair, his voice was cold and indifferent, his eyes were like an eagle, sharp and strong. Just one look revealed his wolf-like and tiger-like nature.
The man was sweating profusely. He hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth, waved his sleeves and knelt on the ground with a "pop": "General Cai Yuanwei, I greet the commander-in-chief!!"
"good!"
Yang Yanzong smiled, stood up and walked forward, helping Cai Yuanwei up, "Okay, you go."
"yes!"
After the other party responded, Yang Yanzong picked up the documents on the desk and quickly left Cai Yuanwei's duty room.
On that day, the investigation team jointly formed by Tong Jie'en and Huang Dewei finally found a breakthrough. Cai Yuanwei could not bear the psychological pressure and finally revealed what he had seen and heard occasionally.
The old emperor was furious: "Damn Zhang Boqian!!"
Before this, he had always believed that Zhang Boqian was framed, but with a "clang", the balance tipped.
He may not believe it completely now, but he has been suspicious for a lifetime and it is impossible to get rid of it.
Finally, the old emperor issued an order to hand Zhang Boqian over to the three courts for trial!
That evening, the emperor issued an imperial decree and the cabinet finally issued a document to demote Yang Yanzong, the deputy commander-in-chief of the Left Guard, to the post of commander-in-chief of the Left Guard.
He was ordered to immediately prepare his troops and rush to Gaobian as quickly as possible.
At the same time, the other important positions that had been contested for many days also came to an end ahead of schedule due to the aggressive invasion of the Northern Rong army. It is worth mentioning that the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Right Guard finally fell to Ji Yuanhao.
He was also one of the people named by General Xu, so he also rode his horse to the north.
The two men rode out of their respective camp gates at high speed, and when their eyes met, they both smiled.
It was our first cooperation and it was a pleasure.
The two men made eye contact and then turned their horses around and sped away.
…
Whether it was Ji Yuanhao or Yang Yanzong, they had to go back to Suiping first. The Qingfeng, Baishun and other camps had been his close subordinates for many years, and they would be the first to be reorganized in the army when they went north this time.
The sound of horse hooves was heard, and soon Yangdu was left behind. Akang, Azhao and others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Although these days are not very long, the ups and downs are really stressful and tiring.
Yang Yanzong was also somewhat tired. He had been working intensively mentally and physically since before he met the emperor in Shangyang Palace, working more and resting less. He had never really slept in the temporary detention prison and had always remained somewhat awake. As for when he came out, he had to endure another whole day of forceful purges and bloody suppression.
In addition, he had just returned from two months of pursuit and was exhausted by the long journey. Even if he was extremely energetic and had a strong endurance, he couldn't help feeling a little exhausted after the stormy waves that had subsided for many days.
But there are some things that make people feel more tired after listening to them.
Yang Yanzong stretched his shoulders, pressed his eyebrows, and asked, "How about home? Is everything going well these days?"
When asked this question, Akang and Azhao looked at each other and both found it a little difficult to speak.
Yang Yanzong opened his eyes and frowned: "What's wrong?"
Ah Kang stammered and whispered, "The old lady knew about this. Probably because of the shock she received last year, she was terrified and worried that another disaster would befall her. She left in a panic, yelling, ..."
Yang Yanzong couldn't help but close his eyes. His forehead, which was a little dizzy from excessive fatigue, ached. His face darkened and he couldn't help but rub his eyebrows with his hand.
Ah Kang quickly added: "Fortunately, the Madam was there. She calmed the situation down. She ordered that no one was allowed to leave the house. That’s why the old lady was unable to go!"
…
When Yang Yanzong returned home, the family was still in turmoil.
After hearing the news, Yang Chongying rushed to Yangdu a few days ago.
Yan had suffered a lot last year. She had her property confiscated and was exiled once, and she became a frightened bird. After finally recovering from her illness, she heard the news. She was immediately shocked and ordered the maids and old women to pack up their valuables immediately. This family had to stay out of the spotlight for a while!
She remembered clearly how Aunt Ping and Aunt Min avoided exile.
The hustle and bustle of the backyard was soon known to Su Ci. She rushed to the scene and saw Yan's car being stopped by her personal guards. Ah Zheng refused to let them go. He gritted his teeth and said, "Madam has ordered that no one is allowed to enter or leave!!"
Yan was so angry that she almost died: "Which Madam? You listen to Su! You can't listen to me?! Who let Su give orders in this house!!"
Su Ci came, rubbed his brows, and without further ado, ordered his personal soldiers and maids to invite Yan back to the main courtyard.
As soon as she gave the order, A Zheng and others responded and immediately carried out the order. The newly arrived maids looked at each other and also timidly followed suit.
Yan did have a trusted maid, but she was of little use.
Yan's luggage and the cart were quickly dragged back to the main courtyard. There were actually things from the west courtyard here. Su Ci was speechless and waved her hand to have them carried back.
This series of actions of hers was simply a provocation to Yan's dignity. Yan was so angry that her eyes turned red. She pointed at Su Ci who was standing outside the door and shouted: "You are rebelling! Su, you are so bold! I will divorce you and send you back to your parents' home!!"
Just take a break, Su Ci shrugged, it doesn’t matter much.
Yan's high-decibel voice hurt people's ears. Seeing that she was still confused and wanted to escape, Su Ci also became annoyed: "This is a different time!!"
Are you Aunt Ping or Aunt Min? !
Is this crop the same as last year’s? !
"The eldest master is only temporarily detained, he is fine, why are you running away, where are you running to!!"
“Can it be the same now as it was last year?”
At this sensitive moment, if Yang Yanzong's family ran away, wouldn't that be a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt? It will definitely make things worse for him and hold him back greatly.
Therefore, we must be stable and determined to relieve him of any worries.
Su Ci explained the reason in detail, and Yan's screaming stopped abruptly. She looked doubtful, and Su Ci shrugged: "I won't harm the eldest master, right?"
Even if you don't believe me, at least believe this fact: they are now in the same boat.
Su Ci took a deep breath: "It hasn't been easy for the eldest master these years. He has worked very hard. We can't help him, so let's not cause trouble for him, okay?"
After Su Ci finished speaking, she stood for a while and suddenly felt something strange behind her. She turned around and looked, only to meet Yang Yanzong's sharp eyes.
There were bloodshot eyes. Yang Yanzong had been back for a while and just happened to hear the last two sentences.
He and Su Ci stared at each other for a long while. In the sunlight, her porcelain-white cheeks were still so small, and her familiar big eyes looked big and bright in the sunlight.
The two looked at each other for a long time, and he laughed, his voice a little hoarse: "So, you also know that it's not easy for me?"
Su Ci was a little surprised. When did he come back? Hearing this, she said, "Of course I know."
It has never been easy for him.
No matter how fierce and ferocious you are, walking on the edge of a knife, and protecting the people behind you and your family from harm in the storm, how can it be easy?
