Opposite the teahouse, Xu Yin was sitting on a tree, staring at the door and eating sweet-scented osmanthus cake.
"Doesn't it taste good? The master chef of the post house did it himself. I specially asked him to add an extra spoonful of honey!" Yan Ling's proud voice came to his ears. He got up early in the morning and tossed the osmanthus tree, which came in handy.
.
Xu Yin swallowed the cake in his mouth and said, "Yeah."
The sweet-scented osmanthus cake with extra honey is a bit greasy, but that’s the boy’s wish.
After finishing the pastries, there was some movement in the teahouse.
The boy who came out first was a boy with a tea bag in his hand, his head lowered and his appearance could not be seen clearly. After leaving the teahouse, he turned into an alley and disappeared soon after.
After a long time, several waves of guests came in and out of the teahouse, and Miss Wei Si, who was wearing a power fence, finally came out and left quietly in a car.
"How do you know they met here?" Xu Yin asked.
Yan Ling was a little proud: "It was just a coincidence that I was exploring the area around the palace, and I happened to see a young boy coming out sneakily, so I followed him all the way, and saw him handing a note into the Wei Mansion."
"oh."
Yan Ling wondered: "Why are you not surprised at all? Mr. Li Er and Miss Wei Wei, this combination is very interesting!"
Xu Yinxin said that she had known something for a long time, so why should she be surprised? The key was what Li Da and Miss Wei Si said, but they couldn't go into the teahouse to listen, otherwise they would alert the enemy.
Yan Ling continued: "You said this, what would happen if Prince Li knew about this? Before your sister came, Miss Wei Si was his number one candidate for his fiancée."
Thinking about it this way, Prince Li’s head is really green!
Both of them couldn't help laughing.
Xu Yin sighed: "People are really strange. Prince Li is better than Mr. Li in every way, but Wei Si actually chose Mr. Li instead of Prince Li."
Yan Ling said: "That's because there is no hope! Your sister is here, and it is obvious that Prince Li will not want her. It's okay if there is no fish or shrimp!"
Xu Yin didn't answer. What she was talking about was her previous life. Her sister didn't come to Jiangdu, so Wei Si still got into trouble with Li Da. Maybe Li Wen didn't choose her in the previous life?
This is not impossible. Li Wen is a normal person. Maybe he saw the clue and chose a girl from another family, so Wei Si had no choice. If he couldn't be the crown prince, he would just change to the crown prince.
In short, when things have reached this point, the situation in Dongjiang is gradually following the trajectory of the previous life. As long as Li Da and Wei Si's conspiracy is stopped in time and Li Wen survives, these two evil thieves can get their revenge in this world.
Don’t even think about having the scenery of your previous life again!
After all the people he was following were gone, Xu Yin wanted to go back. Just as he was about to slide down the tree, he was suddenly pulled back by Yan Ling.
He lowered his voice, hissed, and motioned for her to look outside: "Look over there."
The teahouse was remote, and there weren't many customers at first. Now it was getting late, and there was no one in the lobby. The shopkeeper ordered people to clean up the shop, but he changed into inconspicuous clothes, went out to look around, and went to another alley.
.
Yan Ling and Xu Yin looked at each other, jumped down from the tree first, then pulled her down and followed quietly.
The shopkeeper was quite vigilant and stopped to check on the situation from time to time. Fortunately, both of them were good trackers and he was not discovered.
After a while, the shopkeeper turned into an alley, and a pungent smell rushed over.
Xu Yin's spirit shrank.
Fishy smell, this is the fish market!
Why is he coming to the fish market? It's so late, he won't come to buy fish, right?
The shopkeeper got into a fish shop. Xu Yin was hesitating when Yan Ling pulled her up, climbed up to the roof from the yard next door, and carefully touched the top of the shop.
Yan Ling reached out and touched the roof, and with some skillful force, he loosened one of the tiles, and a low voice came from inside the house.
"...The fish took the bait?"
"Yes. This little fish has a bigger appetite than we thought. Not only does it want to swallow the big fish, it also wants to swallow the old turtle as well."
"Hehehehe," several low chuckles came from the room, "This is called Tianshu. If it weren't for this little fish, we wouldn't know where to open the hole."
"Yes! I've been here for several years, and I only got some insignificant news. I don't have the nerve to go back to see my master."
"Now that's good, if it goes through, we can go back in glory."
The voices in the room became lower, as if they were plotting something.
Xu Yin tried hard to listen, but could only hear scattered sounds.
"...Wangjiang Tower..."
"...Autumn Banquet..."
The cold wind blew by, and her heart felt cold.
After a long time, the conspiracy in the room finally stopped, and the voices became slightly louder.
"That old turtle is very lucky. Even though he only has one son, he is worth as much as a whole family of descendants."
"The most difficult thing to deal with is the king crab. He can't cross the river without him."
"Fortunately, God has given us such an opportunity. That guy has no one, so he found us, and the past few years of operation have been in vain."
"Work hard. Once you finish this job, you can go back."
There was a drink in the room, and then there was the sound of movement.
Xu Yin hesitated for a moment, then was pulled by Yan Ling and walked down the next door lightly.
Not long after, the shopkeeper came out of the house, looked around cautiously to make sure no one was there, and then strode back.
Everything calmed down, and the two of them slowly left the fish market and returned to the street.
After walking in silence, Yan Ling kept turning his head and looking at her, but stopped talking.
Xu Yin couldn't hold it back, turned around and asked: "What are you doing? Just say what you want!"
Yan Ling hesitated and said, "Things are more complicated than imagined. I haven't thought about it yet."
Xu Yin chuckled and looked over: "You're quite honest."
She recognized that the two people in the room were from Jiangbei. The old turtle was the King of Dongjiang, the big fish was Li Wen, the small fish was Li Da, and the king crab was naturally Yang Gu.
Jiang Yi had his sights set on Dongjiang and had sent a spy here a few years ago. Although this time it was Li Da's arrogant ambition, but Jiang Yi's handiwork was also involved.
Dongjiang has always been a prosperous place, and the Li family has been in business for hundreds of years and is one of the largest powers in the world.
Although the Yan family has strong soldiers and horses, Guanzhong is not as prosperous as Dongjiang.
If Dongjiang and Jiang Yi fight each other and sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight, they may not be able to gain.
From the standpoint of the family, Yan Ling was naturally a little hesitant. It seemed that it would be better not to help Li Wen.
"Then you want to help Jiangbei?" Xu Yin looked at him with a smile.
Yan Ling didn't even think about it and shook her head: "Why are you helping Jiang Yi? He is much more difficult to deal with than Dong Jiang."
Jiang Yi is also a gentler Wu Zijing, and Jiangbei is only close to Guanzhong.
"Since we won't help Jiangbei, why should we hesitate? No matter what the Dongjiang River is, we can't cross it due to the terrain. Jiangbei is your Yan family's biggest enemy."
Yan Ling glanced at her and said, "Do you really think so? Isn't it for your sister?"
Xu Yin said confidently: "Of course it's for my sister."
