Chapter 415, You Can’t Lie to Me
On the third day after Wu Ye and others left, Xiao Yeyang came.
Looking at the dusty Xiao Yeyang, Grandma Gu felt distressed and quickly asked him to sit down and rest.
Xiao Yeyang smiled and bowed to Grandma Gu and Gu Jian before walking over to sit next to Daohua.
Daohua poured him a cup of tea and asked, "Why did you come so late?"
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang paused drinking his tea and looked at Daohua with a smile: "Do you really want to see me so much?"
Daohua rolled her eyes and said, "I helped you catch the people you were looking for a few days ago. Unfortunately, you never showed up, and now they're gone."
Xiao Yeyang's expression straightened and he put down his teacup: "Who did you say you caught?"
Daohua: "They are the people in your portrait, the so-called An Zongguan, and the Fifth Master, Wu Ye and so on."
Xiao Yeyang's eyes widened immediately, and he stood up in an instant: "Where are they?"
Daohua: "He left, and it's only been three days."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang showed a hint of regret on his face, and he slowly sat back.
No wonder Prince Rui's uncle sent a message telling him not to continue looking for the emperor's uncle. It turned out that he had gone back.
It’s a pity that I didn’t get to meet my uncle.
The reason why he was so actively looking for his imperial uncle this time was not only because of Uncle Rui's order, but also because he wanted to meet his imperial uncle whom he hadn't seen for several years.
I didn't expect to miss it like this.
But it’s better that the emperor’s uncle is gone. After all, it is not as safe as being in the capital. The sooner he goes back, the sooner he can feel at ease.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Daohua in confusion: "How did you catch them?"
Daohua immediately spoke excitedly, "They were dressed as farmers. I know farmers very well. I saw through their disguise right away. I drugged them, knocked them unconscious, tied them up, and transported them to Taohua Village on a boat."
Looking at Daohua who was talking so excitedly, Xiao Yeyang felt worried for her. If she knew who she had drugged, would she be scared?
Then he found it a little funny. Not to mention the emperor's uncle, Prime Minister Yang and Eunuch An, Governor Wu and Chief Wei also fell into Daohua's hands. I'm afraid they won't be able to hold their heads up for a long time afterwards?
Daohua was speaking cheerfully at first, but as she spoke further, the smile on her face gradually faded: "He slapped me on the back of the neck and knocked me out." She raised her hand and pinched her neck, "My neck still hurts a little."
Xiao Yeyang's face immediately darkened: "Which bastard did it? Is it serious?" As he said that, he was about to stand up, as if he wanted to check Daohua's injuries.
"Ahem~"
As soon as he moved, Gu Jian started coughing.
Xiao Yeyang's body stiffened and he sat back awkwardly.
Gu Jian glanced at him indifferently and snorted coldly.
Daohua didn't notice the exchange of glances between the two and continued to ask Xiao Yeyang, "Xiao Yeyang, they're not bad people, are they?"
Xiao Yeyang shook his head: "No."
Daohua breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. My third and fourth brothers haven't come back yet. I don't know where they were taken by that group of people." Then, she looked at Xiao Yeyang with dissatisfaction, "Then why did you tell me before that Manager An was not a good person?"
Xiao Yeyang said without any burden: "That's because he bullied me when I was a child."
Daohua was silent for a moment: "You should have told me earlier, so that I could help you get revenge."
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang smiled knowingly.
Gu Jian glanced at the rice flowers and asked, "What revenge do you want?"
Daohua: "When he bullies Xiao Yeyang, he doesn't do anything else but sprinkle some itching powder on him and make him itch for a few days, or put some laxative in his bowl and make him have diarrhea for a few days."
"Bang!"
A peanut popped out from between Gu Jian's fingers and hit Daohua on the forehead.
Unfortunately, when the peanut was less than a palm's distance away from Daohua's forehead, Xiao Yeyang grabbed it.
Xiao Yeyang looked at Gu Jian with a smile: "Master Gu, let's talk it over."
Before he could finish his words, the second, third, and fourth peanuts came one after another.
In an instant, Gu Jian and Xiao Yeyang started to compete with each other.
Daohua was just about to get up and leave the battlefield when she heard her master say, "Sit down and sit still. I want to see how many times this brat can stop me."
Daohua smiled bitterly: "Master, if you want to duel, don't use me as a target!"
Gu Jian ignored it and kept popping out peanuts faster and faster.
Xiao Yeyang was worried that Peanut would hit Daohua, so he stretched out his right leg and pushed him and the chair out. He then said with a smile, "Master Gu, Daohua is right. You and I can spar, so she doesn't need to participate."
Gu Jian did not stop him. He glanced at his apprentice who ran to hide behind his sister, then looked at his nephew who was fighting with him calmly, and a smile appeared in his eyes.
"I'm going to speed up!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Daohua, who was standing aside, felt that she could not bear to see anything. Peanuts popped out from her master's hands one by one, "swish, swish, swish", and it felt faster than a machine gun.
Xiao Yeyang was relatively calm at first, but gradually he felt that he was overwhelmed.
“Bang, bang!”
Two peanuts flew out one after the other and hit the numb tendons of Xiao Yeyang's elbows almost at the same time.
Xiao Yeyang felt his arm go numb and he could no longer catch the peanuts.
Looking at Master Gu who was looking at him with a half-smile, Xiao Yeyang felt a little depressed, but he soon straightened his back again: "I will definitely not let you hit me next time."
Gu Jian raised his eyebrows: "Don't just talk, you need to be able to protect others."
Xiao Yeyang's expression straightened up: "I mean what I say."
Gu Jian didn't continue. He glanced at his apprentice and saw that her eyes were shining and she was looking at her nephew intently. He felt a little uncomfortable and snorted, "What are you still standing there for? Pick up the peanuts on the ground quickly."
Daohua noticed her master's gaze and realized that the words were directed at her. She pouted and said, "You guys did this, why do you want me to clean it up?"
Gu Jian: "This happened because of you, isn't it right?"
Daohua was speechless: "What have I done to anyone?" Although she looked reluctant, she still squatted down and started picking up peanuts. She couldn't really let her master do it.
"I'll help you."
Xiao Yeyang rubbed his elbow. Although his arm was still a little numb, he still squatted down to help pick up the peanuts.
Looking at the two people squatting on the ground, Grandma Gu's face was full of smiles, and even Gu Jian's mouth corners were raised.
As Daohua picked up the trash, she asked Xiao Yeyang, "Xiao Yeyang, do you know who the Fifth Master is?"
Xiao Yeyang paused, thought for a moment, and said, "He is helping the emperor."
Daohua looked up at him and said, "That's a pretty standard answer. Just ask yourself, which official in the world doesn't work for the Emperor? Why can't you tell me his identity?"
Xiao Yeyang nodded: "I don't want to lie to you. When we get to the capital in the future, you will naturally know who he is."
Daohua was very satisfied with this answer and smiled: "Xiao Yeyang, you must keep this up in the future. I know you are a member of the royal family and there are some things you cannot tell others. If I ask you any confidential questions, you can choose not to tell me, but you can't just find excuses to evade me or lie to me."
Xiao Yeyang smiled silently: "Okay."
Daohua asked again: "Why are you looking for them?"
Xiao Yeyang: "Uncle Rui ordered it."
Rice Flower: "Did you know they were looking for gold?"
Xiao Yeyang was stunned: "Gold mine?"
