I looked at the tall figure vigilantly, and he walked in step by step, and his face slowly appeared under the candlelight. I immediately saw a clear scar on the left forehead.
"You, Du Yan?"
"Miss Yan."
He hurried over and I could see clearly that Du Yan was really standing in front of me. He had just fought with the two people outside, and was still breathing slightly at this time, but he immediately reached out to support me: "Are you okay? Are you injured?"
I still watched him feel a little unconscious, and after a while, I said, "You, how did you come here?"
Since I was taken to the capital by Pei Yuanxiu, I saw that Xiao Fuzi died in my house, and the little girl and the few people under his command of the hospital guards, I broke off contact with them. I don’t know how they were, but I didn’t expect that he would appear here!
I hurriedly grabbed her arm with my back hand: "You guys, are you all okay?"
There was not much expression on Du Yan's usual cold face at this time. The faint candlelight made his eyes a little colder. He said, "We have lost some people."
"I know," a stuttering in my throat: "When I went to the capital, I saw it..."
“…”
"I saw Xiao Fuzi's body."
When the three words "Xiao Fuzi" were mentioned, a crack appeared on the face that looked like ice.
I recall the tragic situation I saw when I first arrived in the capital and returned home. The shock and trauma I felt in my heart were only what I saw later. It is unimaginable what kind of trauma they had experienced personally.
Even Du Yan, I could see clearly the pain in his eyes.
Seeing that he couldn't speak, I asked again: "Where is Shuixiu?"
"She, it's okay."
"……Yeah."
I am not slow either. The word "it's okay" can be regarded as perfunctory. I can almost imagine how much damage Xiao Fuzi's death will leave to Shui Xiu.
I asked, "Where are you now, where are she?"
Du Yan said: "We were at Mr. Liu's home. Not long after entering Xichuan, someone came to pick us up and picked us up to Bishan. We stayed there since then, waiting for Miss Yan to come back."
"Oh, Shuixiu is still in Bishan."
"Yes."
"Then why did you come here alone?"
"..." Du Yan glanced at me, and I immediately read a little message from his eyes and said hurriedly: "What's wrong? Is something wrong?"
Du Yan said: "Two days ago, Mr. Liu suddenly returned to Bishan."
"What? Qinghan?"
As soon as I heard Qinghan's name, I almost jumped up, hurriedly grabbed him and asked, "What about others? Where is he?"
"He only went back, did something, and left again."
"Leaving again? Where have you gone?"
"I don't know, we are in Bishan - nothing is easy to ask and can't care about."
This is true. When they were in the capital, they were my guards. Everyone came and went, and they were all their job responsibilities. But when they arrived in Bishan, there were people left by Zhao Yuncheng. When they went there, their status was not considered a guest or a servant. It was indeed a bit embarrassing, and they didn’t care about other people’s affairs.
I couldn't help but frown.
Qinghan was so excited after knowing his life experience. Later, he went to Chengdu to take Dad Mo from Tie Yushan's subordinates. I thought his purpose should be to find Mo Tieyi and the others who had been assassinating, and find out the person behind the scenes to investigate the truth. But why did he suddenly return to Bishan?
Could it be that Mo Tieyi and the others, or that a clue of the matter is in Bishan?
I was puzzled, but Du Yan looked at me and his eyes flashed slightly: "Miss Yan, there is one thing I think I should tell you."
"What's up?"
"Young Master Liu returned to Bishan and seemed to mobilize a group of people."
"What?"
I looked at him in surprise, and Du Yan said, "We can't care about Yilan's other courtyard, but after staying there for a while, I still have a certain understanding of defense. After Mr. Liu went back, the defense personnel were reduced by half. If it weren't for other reasons, I think it should be that he had transferred a group of people, a large group of people."
My brows frowned.
After all, Du Yan served as an imperial guard in the palace and did things under the emperor. He was very sensitive to such things. If he doubted it, it would be basically a fact.
Qinghan returned to Bishan to mobilize people. Could it be that he is going to attack anyone?
Who is it?
Mo Tieyi and the others? Or - he figured out who is the real messenger behind the scenes, and then, he is going to take action?
My heart was in irritation for a moment, and my body, which was already a little exhausted, couldn't hold on at this time. I stepped back several steps and fell on the bed just now. Du Yan originally wanted to reach out to support me, but when he saw my solemn expression, he didn't move.
I don’t know if it was because the cold wind came in, but the faint candlelight kept swaying, just like my mood at this moment.
I sat there, Du Yan kept guarding, but after a while, he looked back with some anxiety, and then said, "Ms. Yan."
"..." I hesitated for a while before slowly looking up at him: "Ah?"
"Your Majesty, come in with you?"
“…!”
I hesitated for a while before I realized - Pei Yuanhao!
I almost forgot that he was still outside, and I wonder if Liu Qi's people had already taken action.
I hurriedly said, "Yes, he is outside too. Let's go out quickly. I'm afraid those people will attack him!"
When Du Yan heard this, he was panicked and hurriedly turned around and walked out. I followed him and as soon as I went out, I saw two big men who had just been knocked to the ground by him. One of them struggled to wake up. As soon as he raised his head, Du Yan kicked him, but the man fainted before he could even hum.
Du Yan said, "You follow me and be careful."
"Um."
I followed him and found that there was a very long and deep tunnel outside, only one person wide. There was a torch on both sides of the steps every ten steps, barely illuminating the road beneath his feet. Du Yan took me out, and at the end was a small iron door. As soon as we walked out, we came to the backyard of this inn.
Everything is silent, and only a bright moon hangs in the air, and the cold moonlight shines in this quiet little courtyard.
I looked around and there was no sound at all, and there was no one. If the matter had not been done, it would have been too late to do it.
