Lin Ye and Tuoba Lie chatted for a full hour, and when they were about to leave, they saw their aunt waiting outside the door of Tuoba Lie's study.
After Tuoba Yunxi saw Lin Ye coming out, he smiled at Tuoba Lie and said, "Let him walk with me."
Tuoba Lie raised his finger and pointed at the moon in the sky, meaning not to be too late. Tuoba Yunxi nodded, then turned around and went ahead.
Under the moonlight, Tuoba Yunxi walked in front, and Lin Ye followed half a step behind.
Stepping on the gravel path in the backyard, the touch under my feet was very strange. It was obvious that the soles of my feet were itchy, but it inexplicably made my heart feel itchy as well.
Lin Ye was thinking as he walked, this kind of road just looks more beautiful and is not practical.
"Have you thought about it?"
At this time, Tuoba Yunxi suddenly asked.
Lin Ye, who was a little distracted, quickly responded: "I've thought about it."
Then he asked: "Auntie is asking me what I have thought about?"
Tuoba Yunxi said: "You are not a person who is easily distracted, unless it is intentional."
Lin Ye did it on purpose.
My aunt was walking in front, and the night wind blew her hair, always gently brushing Lin Ye's face.
Lin Ye couldn't help but deliberately take a step back, that would look very rude.
He couldn't say anything, after all, it wasn't his aunt's problem, it was the annoying wind.
Of course, Lin Ye was not careless, he was just feeling a little itchy when the long hair brushed against his face.
People like him never pretend to be smart when they shouldn't be.
So I had to think about the gravel road under my feet, what to do tomorrow, and whether Zinai would still be stubbornly waiting for him when he went back later.
Tuoba Yunxi said: "Yu Lingwei is different."
Lin Ye finally came to his senses. His aunt asked, "Have you thought about something?"
He said: "Be cautious, it won't be a big problem."
Tuoba Yunxi: "Being more cautious means killing more people?"
Lin Ye said: "Indeed, quite a few."
Tuoba Yunxi nodded: "That's fine."
She walked to the pavilion, stopped, stood there with her hands behind her back, and looked at the lotus pond next to the pavilion.
"Have you thought of Emperor Jade's intention?"
Tuoba Yunxi asked.
Lin Ye said: "I thought about it, so I came to see the general."
Tuoba Yunxi hummed.
Yes, little leaf is so smart, how could he not think of Emperor Jade's thoughts.
Let her brother handle the matter of becoming the king of the county. Let's see if Tuoba Lie can be ruthless.
But it is wrong whether Tuoba Lie does it or not.
Everyone knew that Tuoba Lie and Prince Cheng were old friends and were classmates.
All the officials also understood that it was impossible for Prince Cheng to conspire against him. If he was convicted of rebellion, it must be the emperor's order.
If Tuoba Lie resists the decree, Emperor Jade will have a legitimate reason to remove Tuoba Lie from military power.
If Tuoba Lie goes to deal with Prince Cheng, then among the hundreds of officials, who will dare to have a heart-to-heart relationship with Tuoba Lie?
Tuoba Lie went to deal with Prince Cheng, did Emperor Jade really feel at ease with him?
If you can even kill old friends, what else can't Tuoba Lie do?
This is an unsolvable question.
Tuoba Yunxi said in a soft voice: "I can tell that my brother is very happy because you are so dedicated to his affairs."
Lin Ye said: "No."
Even if you are not a particularly smart person, when you hear Tuoba Yunxi's words at this time, you should continue to follow them.
But Lin Ye can't.
Lin Ye said: "The reason why I attacked Yu Lingwei is because I found out that Zinai's family feud was caused by Yu Lingwei. I have almost found out Zinai's life experience."
Tuoba Yunxi was slightly startled.
Then she smiled slightly self-deprecatingly. She originally thought that Lin Ye's determination was all for her and her brother.
Yes, it's for Zinai's sake. This is more reasonable.
"What is Zina's family background?"
Tuoba Yunxi asked.
Lin Ye briefly explained the matter, which shocked Tuoba Yunxi.
She knew about the affairs of He Wenwen's family, but she did not expect that Zinai would be the child of He Wenwen and the princess.
She was silent for a moment, then looked back at Lin Ye: "Don't tell Zina yet."
Lin Ye hummed: "No matter what, I won't let her take revenge on her own. I will kill all those who deserve to be killed on her behalf."
Tuoba Yunxi: "Because you are her brother?"
Lin Ye: "Yes."
Tuoba Yunxi's eyes returned to the lotus pond again. After being silent for a while, he said, "Yes, if it were my business, my brother would be as decisive as you."
She originally wanted to talk to Lin Ye about Prince Cheng's family affairs, which might help Lin Ye.
But at this time, she didn't want to talk anymore.
But she also felt that it was not good for her to be like this. The eldest lady's temper should not be used on people close to her.
Her brother said that the most incompetent and ruthless people will show all their bad sides to their family members and vent their temper on those close to them.
She has the temper of a young lady, but she does not have the disease of a young lady.
"Don't underestimate Prince Cheng."
She calmed down and said, "My brother once said that there are three people in this world that he thinks he should be most afraid of. One is the emperor, the other is the real person, and the third is Prince Cheng."
She turned back to look at Lin Ye: "In the beginning, the emperor kept Prince Cheng in Geling because of fear, because Prince Cheng is such a good person."
"No matter who you are, as long as you spend some time with Prince Cheng, you will regard him as a confidant. He can discuss things with the real person and talk to him for two days and two nights."
"He can also chat with traffickers and footmen. They can talk about trivial matters for half a day without making people feel that they are perfunctory or accommodating."
When Lin Ye heard this, he could probably guess that he was a very knowledgeable and intelligent person.
Lowering yourself to several levels and chatting with a peddler will not make the peddler feel uncomfortable or embarrassed.
This is ability and strength.
Tuoba Yunxi said: "The emperor kept him in Geling because he wanted to keep an eye on him. Now the emperor wants him to leave Geling because there must be something happening there that makes the emperor uneasy."
When Lin Ye heard this, he couldn't help but think, could a person like Prince Cheng still develop his own power under the eyes of the emperor?
If this is the case, this person's mind may not be inferior to that of the emperor, or even...
"There's nothing else to do."
Tuoba Yunxi said: "I just want to remind you that if you meet Prince Cheng in the future, be more careful."
Lin Ye nodded: "I remember, aunt."
Tuoba Yunxi hummed: "Go back."
Lin Ye took a step back and leaned down to salute.
Tuoba Yunxi looked at him saluting in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little sad for no reason.
She waved her hand: "Go back quickly."
Lin Ye looked at his aunt and felt that she seemed to have something on her mind.
But he didn't ask.
After leaving Kitano Prince's Mansion, before going home, Lin Ye purposely passed by the burned teahouse.
The backyard was basically destroyed, but fortunately it was separated from the front yard, so the storefront facing the street was not affected.
Lin Ye wanted to see Mr. Tianji and Monk Hua, so he went around to the backyard.
He snapped his fingers three times, and Mr. Tianji and Monk Hua came out of the side room, half of which had been burned down.
Of these two people, one is hiding outside and the other is hiding in the secret passage.
"Have you eaten yet?"
Lin Yewen.
Monk Hua rubbed his belly: "No, did the master bring us food?"
Lin Ye: "No, just ask."
Monk Hua: "Well..."
It's not that Lin Ye forgot to bring it, but where can he buy food at this hour? When he was at the palace, he wanted to ask his aunt for some snacks before leaving, but it was obvious that her aunt was not in the right mood, so she didn't say anything.
Lin Ye: "I'll keep an eye here for a while. You go back to eat and rest. Come and replace me before dawn."
Mr. Tianji said: "No, we brought dry food, but we just didn't want to show traces, so we haven't eaten it yet."
Monk Hua: "You farted, you took it with you, you didn't eat it, and you didn't give it to me either."
Mr. Tianji: "I brought it, but you didn't. I don't want to eat it, so why should I give it to you?"
Just as he was speaking, Lin Ye's eyes suddenly changed. He raised his hand and gestured to be silent.
The three people immediately found a dark place to hide, moving lightly and quickly.
Not long after hiding, several figures flew from the darkness and landed in the yard a moment later.
"Go and have a look."
One of them, who looked like the leader, pointed toward the west side room.
The two people stepped forward quickly, obviously heading towards the secret passage.
Lin Ye was hiding in the west side room. Seeing the two people approaching, Lin Ye suddenly stood up.
This time, the two people who were running over were startled. They stopped at the same time. They stopped suddenly and rubbed their feet forward for a while.
One of them asked: "Who!"
Lin Ye asked him at the same time: "Who is it?"
The man asked: "Who are you?"
Lin Ye: "Who are you?"
Just when he was about to continue arguing, the man in the lead suddenly swooped over.
This body technique was extremely fast, and it arrived in front of Lin Ye in just a blink of an eye, grabbing Lin Ye's wrist.
After a moment, the man's eyes became confused.
Because he was in Lin Ye's body, he didn't notice the inner energy.
The way he looked at Lin Ye was like looking at a fool.
He asked: "Are you not a martial artist?"
Lin Ye replied: "Of course I am."
The person who grabbed Lin Ye's hand was none other than Xue Xiaozhi, the commander of Yu Lingwei Dao Tong.
He asked Lin Ye: "Who are you and why are you here late at night?"
Lin Ye: "I, am, a... um... a good person passing by?"
Xue Xiaozhi narrowed his eyes: "Looking for death."
He waved his hand: "Kill him, move more swiftly."
He was too lazy to do it himself, so one can imagine how much he looked down on Lin Ye.
Because Lin Ye really had no internal energy at all, and those internal energy were hidden in various acupuncture points.
How could such a person be worthy of Xue Xiaozhi's personal action?
"Wait."
Lin Ye said: "I am a member of the government and a state policeman. I am lying in ambush here to wait for the arsonist. Could it be that you are the thieves?"
Xue Xiaozhi changed his mind because of these words. He turned around and said, "I thought you were the thief who set the fire."
He smiled and said: "We are from Wu Lingwei, and we came here specifically to investigate this case."
Lin Ye: "Wu Lingwei?!"
He looked around: "Are only a few of you here? There are more than 10,000 people in Wu Lingwei."
Xue Xiaozhi: "The few of us are enough. You can go back first and leave this place to us."
Lin Ye: "Make your identity clear, otherwise I won't leave."
Xue Xiaozhi originally didn't want to cause trouble, so if someone caught him and refused to let him go, it would be a problem.
This is different from the death of an ordinary person.
But Lin Ye reacted like this, which made Xue Xiaozhi angry.
He waved his hand: "It's better to kill him."
His two men moved forward again. Lin Ye seemed to be frightened and took two steps back, then took out something.
"It was you who forced me to reveal my identity!"
He stretched the thing forward: "I am Yu Lingwei, who are you Wu Lingwei? Why don't you retreat!"
