Ever since Leng Changxi went to Prince Xi's Mansion, the backyard of the Chen family's Jiaozipu has been lifeless. If no one was there, there were people who were dejected and silent. Although they knew that she was safe for the time being, because there was not much news about Prince Xi's Mansion.
Even if you can't hit it, it will inevitably make people worry.
In Xiuzhou, except for Chen Shaoxuan, who was able to gather some gossip through connections, the rest of the people had skills, but they were useless, like a dragon trapped in a shoal, unable to move even an inch.
Lingfeng disguised himself and wandered around Prince Xi's Mansion all day long, while Lingshan got close to the two guards guarding the gate from time to time, but found nothing.
Seeing this situation, Yang Jian felt that if he and Li Xueyan continued to stay in Xiuzhou, there would be nothing they could do to help, and instead they would be in trouble. After thinking about it, he decided to rush to Jinzhou first, and after completing the matters assigned by his master,
Come back to help the fifth junior brother.
Early that morning, the sky was gray and drizzling, making the autumn mood even more profound.
Yang Jian packed his bags early and led the reluctant Li Xueyan to Chen Shaoxuan's door. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly "squeaked" and opened from the inside.
"Third Senior Brother, Xue Yan?" Chen Shaoxuan suddenly saw the two people in front of him and was stunned. Then he looked at the baggage behind them and suddenly realized something: "Senior Brother, are you going to Jinzhou?"
"Yes, Xue Yan and I can't be of much help if we stay here. I'm very sorry. So I thought, why don't we go handle the matters assigned by Master first, and when things make some progress, Junior Brother will write to me again.
I will definitely come back to help." Although this is Chen Shaoxuan's business, they are brothers in the same school after all. Leng Changxi has a special status in Chen Shaoxuan's heart, so Yang Jian can never let go of her.
"Third senior brother, please don't say that. Senior brother and Xue Yan have already helped a lot. If I hadn't left you to help and wasted your time, senior brother and Xue Yan would have arrived in Jinzhou by now." Chen Shaoxuan smiled faintly.
"We are from the same school. If we can't help with this little thing, how can we still be justified?" Yang Jian patted Chen Shaoxuan on the shoulder.
"Third Senior Brother, you and I have left. If Fifth Senior Brother has any difficulties, who will help? If you don't go to Jinzhou first, I'll stay here and take a look." Li Xueyan pouted aside, wanting to make the last move.
No matter how hard she struggled, she didn't want to leave at all.
"Why can you stay and watch? You will cause trouble! Junior brother is already upset enough. Don't stay and cause trouble. Come with me to Jinzhou!" Yang Jian was determined not to let her stay.
"Hmph!" Li Xueyan snorted coldly: "Stay here to see how unlucky she is!"
She was arrogant and said unpleasant words, but she actually wanted to cover up her inner worries about Leng Changxi. She has not calmed down yet, but she didn't want others to know that she was actually worried about Leng Changxi.
When Yang Jian heard this, he glared at her fiercely: "Xue Yan! You are becoming more and more outrageous! Do you want me to write a letter to Master?"
When Li Xueyan heard Yang Jian's threat, she immediately stopped talking, puffed her cheeks, and stepped aside silently.
"Senior brother, don't blame Xue Yan. She is a sharp-tongued person. In fact, she wanted to stay because she was worried about Little Bao'er." Chen Shaoxuan saw her through.
But Li Xueyan was a little embarrassed and annoyed by Chen Shaoxuan's words, and said with a blushing face: "Who is worried about her? Huh! I just wanted to see her unlucky end that's why I stayed. Since you won't let me stay, then I'll leave.
That’s it, she will end up like that no matter whether I leave or not!”
After saying that, Li Xueyan stamped her foot, turned around and ran out of the backyard.
"Hey, Xue..." Yang Jian tried to call her out, but he was not as fast as her. In the end, he had no choice but to shake his head. He looked at Chen Shaoxuan with an apologetic look and said, "Fifth Junior Brother, you
Don't mind what she said, you also know Xue Yan's temper, she is not a mean-spirited child."
"Senior brother, I know. Don't worry, I didn't blame her. I did do something wrong by hiding this matter from Xue Yan. It's right for her to be angry. As time goes by, she will be fine after she calms down." She said to Li Xueyan.
Chen Shaoxuan naturally knew the child's character, so he didn't take her words seriously.
"That's good! Fifth Junior Brother, then Xue Yan and I will say goodbye here. When things are settled, I will meet you again!" Yang Jian clasped his hands in fists.
Chen Shaoxuan smiled gratefully: "Then let me give it to you."
"Don't!" Yang Jian hurriedly raised his hand to stop him: "Junior brother, go and take care of your business. Xue Yan and I are together. There is no need to see each other off."
As for his senior brother, Chen Shaoxuan didn't need to be polite. He nodded and just sent him to the door.
It was not too early for Yang Jian and Li Xueyan to set out on the road. Normally, the streets would have been bustling with people, but today it was uncharacteristically sparse and sparse, losing the hustle and bustle of the past.
Yang Jian felt a sudden shock in his heart. He carefully paid attention to the vendors on the street and the people coming and going, but found that they were all civilians, and there was not even a soldier in disguise.
"Xue Yan, let's go take a look near Prince Xi's Mansion first." Yang Jian decisively turned the horse's head.
When Li Xueyan heard what Yang Jian said, her heart suddenly tightened, and she turned the horse's head without asking any more questions.
The two of them walked around around Prince Xi's Mansion as if nothing had happened, and Yang Jian's heart sank more and more.
Upon closer inspection, sure enough, all the pursuing soldiers wandering around Xiuzhou City and the secret sentries guarding the palace of Prince Xi all disappeared without a trace overnight, as if they had evaporated from the world.
"Third Senior Brother, the situation is a bit strange!" Even Li Xueyan, who is usually carefree, discovered the problem.
Yang Jian nodded gently, squinted his eyes, and thought silently for a long time, and then slowly said: "Xue Yan, the situation in Xiuzhou City is unclear now. I can't delay the matters that Master explained to me any longer.
It's gone, so you stay and look after it and help me. I'll go to Jinzhou and get back as soon as possible."
"Senior brother, don't you want me to leave? Why should I stay?" Li Xueyan turned her head to the side like a child having a tantrum.
"Xueyan!" Yang Jian warned in a deep voice.
"Well, since senior brother asks me so much, I'll stay here reluctantly. We can also see what happened to that woman!" Li Xueyan curled her lips, looking reluctant, but she couldn't hide the flash of emotion in her eyes.
joy.
"Remember, don't look for trouble, do you hear me?" Yang Jian repeatedly warned him uneasily.
Li Xueyan couldn't wait to turn the horse's head, whipped up and galloped out, throwing Yang Jian's words behind her head. After a long time, she vaguely responded: "I know!"
