Qian Chenghe frowned slightly, "Why are you waiting for me in the middle of the night? If there is something, wouldn't it be better to talk about it tomorrow?"

"If I could wait for you during the day, I wouldn't be lying on the floor at the door of your study now." Qi Yan rolled his eyes and went straight to the point: "Do you know what's going on in the government office?"

Qian Chenghe looked at him twice, waved his sleeves and said coldly: "What does the government office in Jiangnan have to do with you?"

Qi Yan was stunned, and his voice was a little sharp: "Jiangnan?!"

"You've been here for a few days, but you don't know this is Jiangnan?" Qian Chenghe obviously didn't believe it: "Forget it, your little tricks are nothing to guard against in my eyes. It's late tonight, if you want to sleep here, go ahead."

After that, Qian Chenghe left without looking back.

Qi Yan stared at his back for a long time before he took a step and walked towards his own room.

The land under his feet now turned out to be Jiangnan... What about Chang'an? Can Qian Chenghe's words be trusted? And where is Yu Xi now? What did he do to keep him here?

Many unsolved doubts wandered in his mind, confusing Qi Yan and making his nerves more sensitive. At the slightest sign of trouble, he would associate all kinds of irrelevant things, and then he would become anxious and worried in his heart.

This is not a good phenomenon, at least for Qi Yan now, it will definitely exhaust his physical functions.

A few more days passed, and Qi Yan finally laid his cards with Qian Chenghe, telling him that he decided to go back to Chang'an, and hoped that he could lend him a fast horse and some entanglements, which he would return to him later.

Qi Yan felt that Qian Chenghe had no reason to refuse. Because at the beginning, he had shown great dissatisfaction with Qi Yan, and was very unhappy about the burden of his junior brother staying behind. Now that Qi Yan made such a proposal, he should send him away...

But Qian Chenghe refused. The refusal was very decisive, even a little cold and unkind.

"What do you think this place is, where you can come and go as you please." Qian Chenghe sneered: "Since Yu Xi put you here, not even a fly can fly out of my mansion before he comes to take you away in person."

Qi Yan was stunned. He didn't expect Qian Chenghe to state so bluntly that he was imprisoned here and couldn't leave.

Sure enough, Qi Yan's life was not easy afterwards. Every day, someone came to guard the door of his room, making a big fuss. If an outsider accidentally saw this scene,

he would definitely think that Qian Chenghe had imprisoned a serious criminal in his house. Someone came to deliver three meals a day, there was bath water at night, and a set of clothes for changing every day. Most of them were moon-white, which was in line with Qi Yan's temperament... But he was still imprisoned.

Since the card show, Qi Yan has never seen anyone other than the maid, including Qian Chenghe.

Unable to sit and wait for death, Qi Yan tried to build a good relationship with the maid, but the hope was almost slim. This maid liked Qian Chenghe, very much, and her joy, anger, sorrow and happiness would be affected by Qian Chenghe's words and a look.

"Do you know Yu Xi?" Qi Yan cleverly avoided the information about Qian Chenghe.

The maid shook her head and said innocently, "How would we, the servants, know about the master's sect?"

"You knew that Yu Xi was from the same sect as Qian Chenghe, but you didn't know him, right?"

"Yes, and..." The maid pursed her lips, as if she was a little conflicted about whether to say, "Master..."

Qi Yan blinked, "What?" "

...Master doesn't let us talk to you more, no matter who we are. If anyone is found to disobey orders, they will be expelled from the house." The maid's expression became worried, "I don't want to leave the house..."

The little girl's psychology is very easy to understand. Qi Yan looked at her for a long time and nodded: "Go out, don't talk to me too much in the future."

The maid showed a happy expression and nodded solemnly: "I'll take my leave. If you have something to do, just call me."

Qi Yan would not make things difficult for a little maid, not to mention that this maid was a fan of Qian Chenghe. She is likely to tell Qian Chenghe everything she does, and Qi Yan would not think that she is just a simple girl who can work in this mansion.

You must be on guard against others. Qi Yan always has this mentality towards the outside world.

There was no news about the affairs of the yamen, and Yu Xi had never shown up. Qi Yan was locked up here and could do nothing.

Sometimes, I really have to sigh about my own uselessness.

Half a month later, the autumn wind had become cold, as if it was carrying a thin steel needle scraping on the face, which was a little painful.

Winter is coming, and in a blink of an eye, Qi Yan has already spent two months in Qian Chenghe's mansion.

Every year at the end of the year, there are more things to do, as if to make a summary of one's own year, some major events will gradually happen.

For example, Daliang is going to be destroyed.

The siege of Chang'an is no longer a surprising thing. The outer city of Daliang surrendered one by one, and the enemy's army went south all the way, rushed to the capital of Chang'an, and broke through the palace.

Fortunately, the people who surrendered lived and worked in peace and were never injured.

The emperor of the enemy country was very shrewd, but he loved his people. He was originally a pillar of Daliang. However, the emperor of Daliang was incompetent, listened to the words of traitors, killed loyal ministers, and forced him to leave his hometown. He never thought that in a strange place, he would actually build his own country and army, and he never expected that he would actually become the new generation of emperor of Daliang.

The palace was captured, and the new emperor was escorted into the palace and sat on the throne.

This is the real peace and prosperity of the country. From then on, another prosperous era was recorded in the history books. It

was New Year's Day, and the new emperor ascended the throne, which was a good omen. Qi Yan didn't know what was going on in the outside world, but on this day, Qian Chenghe came here on purpose.

"Yu Xi will be here soon." Qian Chenghe's voice was cold and cold: "In a few days, he will rush to Jiangnan and take you away."

This news exploded in Qi Yan's heart like fireworks: "Really?!"

"Get ready in the next few days, he will take you away." Qian Chenghe snorted sarcastically: "The premise is that you pass this test."

The joy in his heart was poured down by a bucket of cold water. Qi Yan looked at Qian Chenghe in confusion for a long time before he opened his thin lips.

"Qian Chenghe, you are the one who wants to kill Yu Xi, right?"

As soon as the words came out, even Qi Yan himself was stunned.

So he... actually thought so? And at this moment, he asked this question.

Qian Chenghe was stunned at first, and after a moment, he actually laughed.

"You actually noticed something?" Qian Chenghe's smile was a little crazy: "Even Yu Xi didn't notice it, but you, a fool, saw it clearly. Is this what a bystander sees clearly..."
