Mu Yunhan opened the bedroom door, and everything was as neat as when she left.
Gu Fenglin is not here.
She went next door again, where Aunt Xuan was sitting sewing under the lamp. When she saw her coming, she said, "You're back, I'll take you there."
It saves Mu Yunhan more questions.
Aunt Xuan led her to a quiet and exquisite courtyard two streets away. Carved lanterns were hung on the porch, and the sweet fragrance of jasmine filled the air.
When she reached the door of the inner courtyard, Aunt Xuan stopped: "You go in."
Mu Yunhan held the door knocker with his hand, but he hesitated.
She and he broke up on bad terms, and then Meng Jia disappeared in the middle.
She had many questions in her heart, but she was also afraid that she would say the wrong thing, wrong him, and colden his heart.
The night wind blew rustlingly, messing up her hair.
A thin and quiet figure was reflected on the paper window, crouching in front of the case and remaining motionless for a long time.
Mu Yunhan took a breath, walked over and opened the door.
Gu Fenglin raised his head and looked at her. Under the light, his black clothes were like ink, and his eyes were dark and cold. He just looked at her quietly without any expression.
It was a bit cold for a while.
"You're back, everything is okay?" He sat still and his tone was soft.
Mu Yunhan took off his curtain and sat down opposite him: "Everything is fine, how are you?"
Gu Fenglin said: "The second half of the night is just the right time for you to come back."
Mu Yunhan hadn't had a good rest for many days, and his head was a little confused. It took him a while to understand what he meant.
"Will there be results in the middle of the night?" she asked.
Gu Fenglin pushed the cowhide in front of him for her to see.
Only then did she notice that this was a map of the entire Liuxian County, including the mountain range that was considered a forbidden area - Xiangshan Mountain.
"I searched and checked many places, including the must-pass places leading to the capital, and people have looked at them all, but they are not there, so I think they are still here."
Gu Fenglin drew a circle on the map with a charcoal pen, where was Duyun Mountain.
"It was Murong's people who did it. Four of them are highly skilled in martial arts and have military backgrounds. They know how to cover up their traces..."
He lowered his eyes, and there were tiny drops of light under his thick eyelashes. His long, white fingers tapped gently and rhythmically, and he always spoke concisely and to the point.
Exactly the same as what Dong Henian confessed.
Mu Yunhan thought to himself.
Gu Fenglin didn't hear her voice. He raised his eyes and looked over without saying a word. There was only question in the corner of his eyebrows.
"I heard about it from Dong Henian. The general situation is similar, but he didn't mention his military background."
Mu Yunhan lowered his eyes, not daring to look at him, and tried to explain what happened in Meizhou in the past few days as simply and clearly as possible.
Gu Fenglin nodded, indicating that he already knew.
Then he handed her a glass of water without making any sound.
Mu Yunhan held the water glass and remained silent.
She felt as if there was a layer between him and her.
She had this feeling before when he came back from Lanjing. He had changed a bit, but it was not obvious in front of her.
But at this moment, this gap and difference is extremely obvious.
After he returned to Liuxian, he did not go to live with her, but lived in this place she never knew. So...
The candle flame exploded, and Gu Fenglin stood up: "It's time to go."
Mu Yunhan stopped him: "Why don't you wear a hood and cloak? If someone discovers..."
He stopped and looked at her quietly without saying a word, his eyes were deep and dark, and his emotions could not be clearly seen.
Mu Yunhan felt uncomfortable being looked at, so he simply turned around and picked up the hooded cloak on the hanger and handed it over. (To be continued)
