After several days of continuous snow, the streets were much deserted every day.

In Xu's mansion, He Xinying stood in front of the study and knocked on the door. The person inside said, "Come in." He Xinying walked in.

"I made some red bean sweet soup in the kitchen, it was too cold outside." He Xinying smiled and took the small bowl in her hand out of the basket and put it on Xu Zhiheng's table. "Husband, drink some warmth, don't get frozen."

Xu Zhiheng's eyes fell on the small white porcelain bowl on the table. In the porcelain bowl, the sweet red bean soup emitted a sweet and greasy aroma. The brown soup made him suddenly think of the bowl of tonic sent by the He family a long time ago.

The same color and sweet smell, the soup is very effective. After He Yan drank it, he could no longer see it after three days of high fever.

Xu Zhiheng subconsciously raised his head, He Xinying was looking at her gently, his eyebrows and eyes were similar to He Yan, which made Xu Zhiheng's heart jump suddenly, and he stood up subconsciously. The sleeve in his hand accidentally brushed the soup bowl on the table, and the sweet soup sprinkled all over the floor, polluting his clothes.

"Are you okay, husband?" He Xinying was shocked and quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe the soup on Xu Zhiheng's body, calling the maid to come and clean it up.

"Nothing happened." Seeing that the sweet soup was spilled, Xu Zhiheng breathed a sigh of relief, took the handkerchief and wiped the water marks on his body.

"This bowl has spilled, I'll ask someone to send another bowl." He Xinying hurriedly said.

"No need." Xu Zhiheng held her hand and smiled and pulled her to sit beside her, "I'm not hungry at all."

The woman's hands were warm and soft, which slightly dispelled his anxiety over the past few days.

He Xinying sat down beside him as he spoke, thought for a while, and said to Xu Zhiheng: "I heard from Liu'er that my mother was in a bad condition when she came in and was ill. I want to go back to see my mother. Do you have free time in the past few days? Why don't you go to He's house with me?"

The military book has been kept in her room, and He Xinying always felt uneasy. If Xu Zhiheng had someone searched the entire mansion one day, it would be easy to find out. Moreover, the military book came inexplicably, and she herself couldn't figure out what was going on. It would be better to go back to He's house and ask Mrs. He Er, who knew more about his elder sister than hers.

"Do you want to go back to He's house?" Xu Zhiheng paused and asked He Xinying.

He looked at He Xinying and looked at him a little bit. He Xinying's heart jumped and took his arm with his hand, "I'll go back and check it out, I'll come back the next day. Husband, can you go back with me? My mother may not have seen you for a long time."

He Xinying had never suffered any hardship since she was a child. When she got married, Xu Zhiheng knew that she was a little arrogant when she was in the He family, but after entering the Xu family, she was always well-behaved. This is different from He Yan's temperament. Although He Yan never causes trouble and sticks to himself, it is impossible to be able to act coquettishly like He Xinying.

Xu Zhiheng said: "I have been very busy these days, and I'm afraid I don't have time to accompany you to go home. In this way, I'll ask someone to take you back first. After a while, I'll accompany you when I have free time."

He Xinying showed a grievance expression at the right time and said, "...Okay."

Xu Zhiheng smiled and held her hand, his thoughts had already floated to other places.

He naturally couldn't go to He's family now. Not to mention He Yuansheng's two brothers, who knew what He Rufei was thinking now. He arranged a spy in his mansion to try to catch a handle... And He Xinying, Xu Zhiheng thought, although He Xinying was his wife, his surname was He, who knew whether He Rufei had a spy with her? That's fine. Since He Rufei could put spy on his mansion, how could he know that he wouldn't take the trick?

This time, let He Xinying go home and explore the bottom.

...

In the middle of the night, it started to snow again.

It was cold and He Yan got up in the dark. The room was dark and he didn't even light an oil lamp. Fortunately, she had already become accustomed to being a blind man. Even if she didn't light the lamp, she wouldn't fall down when she walked around the room. After putting on her clothes, she took out a short sword from the drawer and went out.

It was very snowing. In order to facilitate movement, she was wearing very thin clothes. She only put a thin layer of cotton coat in her Ye Xing's clothes. As soon as she went out, her snot was almost frozen. Charcoal fires were burning in Xiangxiang's stable, emitting a faint flame. The yard was quiet inside and outside, and He Sui and his son were sleeping soundly, and there was no movement in Chiwu's room. He Yan quietly pushed open the door and walked out.

There was snow everywhere, and the long street was covered with silver. Lanterns were hung under the eaves along the street. They were red and lively. In less than two months, the New Year will be around. The atmosphere of the New Year is now, although it is still a bit cold.

He Yan sniffed, and a white mist immediately surged in front of him. It was strange that the winter days in Liangzhou Wei were much colder than Shuojing, but at that time, he was sweating profusely every day, but he forgot to have coldness. Now here, he really stomped his feet coldly.

She had only walked a few steps, and when the street was about to end, a carriage was parked. He Yan was stunned for a moment. At night, there was a carriage in the empty street, which suddenly appeared in the road, and it seemed like seeing a ghost. He Yan narrowed his eyes and looked at it. There was a coachman sitting in front of the carriage. When he saw her, he took off the hat on his head.

"Fei...Fei Nu?" He Yan said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

Feinu didn't say anything, but the curtain of the carriage was lifted and someone walked down from above, with a black gold pattern and a brocade dress with a pretty and elegant figure. When he saw it, it was like a painting on a snowy night, which was exactly Xiao Jue.

He walked over, his boots stepped on the snow, making a rustling sound. He Yan waited for him to approach and asked, "What are you doing here if you don't sleep at night?"

Xiao Jue raised his eyebrows and spoke disapprovingly, "What about you? What are you doing when you go out in the middle of the night?"

"I..." He Yan was speechless for a while, "I can't sleep, so I come out to relax."

Xiao Jue sneered and stared at her leisurely: "Miss, are you coming out to relax and wear night clothes?"

He Yan scratched his head, knowing that this person is very smart and it is not easy to cheat. He frowned and said, "I'll do something..." She looked at Xiao Jue, and suddenly realized and turned around and glanced, "You follow me all day long and don't let me go in the middle of the night? Xiao Jue, even if I am your fiancée, you don't have to chase you so tightly."

Xiao Jue: "..."

"What are you thinking," he seemed speechless. "You went out in the morning and bought a short sword in the blacksmith shop in the west of the city. After that, he said, "He said lazy: "If you go out so late, kill or set fire?"

"When I bought the dagger, didn't I get rid of the Chiwu?" He Yan was also puzzled, "How did you know?"

When she was doing these things, she was always very cautious. She knew that being discovered by Chiwu would attract suspicion, but she finally got rid of the big man.

"Not Chiwu," Xiao Jue said, "Anyway, I know." He glanced at the short sword that He Yan had on his waist, and felt a little disgusted, "If you don't give you money, can't you buy a good sword?"

"What does this have to do with the sword?" He Yan said: "What is important is the person who uses the sword and the sword technique. My sword technique is good, and I don't need a good sword to add luster to myself."

Xiao Jue nodded and said, "Dude and thrifty."

"...The words are good things," He Yan asked, "Why do you feel like you are scolding me?"

The snow outside kept falling, and it was soon covered with a thin layer of frost and snow on her hair. Xiao Jue pulled her under the eaves of the street, stood outside, blocking most of the wind and snow, and asked, "I haven't said yet, it's so late, why are you going to take a sword out?"

Seeing that he could not hide it, He Yan sighed and said to the truth, "I was thinking that He Rufei must have another relationship with the Utu. He Rufei is cautious and difficult to catch the handle. I want to go to He's house and find other evidence. If he can catch the evidence related to the Utu, it would be better."

"He family?" Xiao Jue frowned slightly, "Are you planning to go alone?"

"After all, I was a member of the He family in my previous life," He Yan approached him and whispered: "I am so familiar with He's inside and outside. I also know the secret passage that others don't know, so it's easy to sneak in. It's absolutely fine to go alone."

"No," Xiao Jue interrupted her without thinking, "It's too dangerous."

"No, what danger is there." He Yan retorted, "I can beat ten guards of the He family. At this time, they have already gone to bed. The house where He Rufei lives now is the house where I used to live, and there are any secret lattices on the bookshelf and the mezzanines in the wooden trunk. I know clearly. I will leave immediately after I have found something, and it will not be missed. I have done sneak attacks on tens of thousands of enemy camps at night. There is nothing to be afraid of in the He family."

"He Rufei had doubts about you now, and he would inevitably add more guards in the mansion. Now it is not a good time to go to He's house."

"After a long time, I'm afraid that all the evidence will be ruined."

Xiao Jue's eyes fell on her, and after a moment, he said, "I'll go with you."

"What?" He Yan immediately refused, "You go with me, but it becomes a burden. I can get out of here alone. It is very inconvenient to have one more you."

"Then don't go."

"Xiao Jue," He Yan was angry, "Why are you unreasonable!"

"Um."

This man couldn't get in? But if he wanted to quarrel with him here, he would not even get out after the neighbors were awakened. He Yan had a stalemate with him for a while, and finally lost, gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I really didn't expect that others would say that Mr. Xiao Er was indifferent and inhumane, and he didn't expect that he was so clingy in private."

"Each one another," Xiao Jue looked at her with his chest, "Who made Miss He have the habit of going to someone else's house to relax in the middle of the night." He leaned over slightly and looked at He Yan with a condescending tone, his tone was indifferent, "I'm afraid that something will happen, my wife will pay the debt to her husband."

This man quarreled with others, probably never lost. He Yan was also said to have lost his temper and said viciously: "Forget it, if you want to go with me, just go with me, but I agreed in advance that you really have arrived at He's house, don't regret it."

Xiao Jue smiled and reached out to her waist. He Yan hurriedly protected his belt, "What are you doing?"

He took a deep breath: "What do you think I'm going to do?"

"During the middle of the night, there are so many things that a lonely man and a widow can do." He Yan murmured in a low voice, "Who knows what you are going to do?"

"He Yan." Xiao Jue spoke calmly.

"I'm joking." He Yan smiled with a pleasing smile.

"Your sword is too bad, change this one." He took off the sword on his body and handed it to He Yan.

"Isn't this Yinqiu?" He Yan was stunned for a moment. Xiao Jue had already stuffed the Yinqiu sword into her hands. She knew that Yinqiu was precious and wanted to return the sword to him, "What are you doing for me?"

Xiao Jue glanced at her and raised the corner of his mouth: "Turn this to avoid others saying that my Xiao family is shabby and embarrassing me."

"What other people," He Yan said quickly: "Ph, when we go to He's house today, we will definitely not alarm anyone. How can anyone else see it?"

Before He Yan could finish speaking, Xiao Jue had already pulled out the short sword from her waist and walked forward on his own, "Hold it."

He Yan had no choice but to keep up.

Feinu parked the carriage on the side of the road, and the three of them left together, rushing towards the He family.

He Mansion is located at the west end of the city. The house looks not as elegant and elegant as the Xu family, but it is also quite grand. Fei Nu was guarding the support outside the house. He Yan took Xiao Jue to the backyard wall. When he walked to another place, he stopped and whispered: "Here, this is my secret passage."

Xiao Jue stared at the hole in front of him that could only barely allow one person to crawl through, and asked calmly: "What you call a secret passage is to drill a dog hole?"

"Shh," He Yan raised his fingers to his lips, "Sounds a little bit. This dog hole is not an ordinary dog ​​hole. I dare say that no one in the He family knows."

"When I was a child, I pretended to be a man, but I was not very strong. I was with other boys, and I was always worried about flaws. My family was afraid that I would show too much and cause trouble, so I locked me in the mansion. Before I entered the Xianchang Pavilion, I crawled out of this dog hole before dawn and climbed to the Donghuang Mountain of the capital to help the monks in the temple carry water and chop firewood. At first, my hands were very broken, and after I later developed calluses, I could hang a stone on my wrist and punch it."

"The young men in the Hyunchang Pavilion are very powerful at any time, but if I hadn't been secretly climbing the mountain and practicing in private, I would have been even worse in the Hyunchang Pavilion."

"Ah," she moved her heart, "It was because I helped the monks in the temple do too many tasks at that time, so the Buddha gave me the opportunity to start a new life because he saw that I was sincere. No wonder everyone always said that they wanted to make good relationships. If that's the case, do you think so?" She turned to look at Xiao Jue.

Xiao Jue pinched his forehead and said with silence: "So, what do you mean is that you want me to drill a dog hole?"

"Yes." He Yan said: "I said it a long time ago. You must follow me, so don't regret it. It's not that you don't have any reminders."

"No." Xiao Jue frowned slightly and turned his head, as if he looked at it for a while and felt disgusted, "I'll climb over the wall."

"No, there are mechanisms everywhere in the He family's walls. He Rufei must have re-arranged it now. I don't know where it is. If you trigger the mechanism, all our efforts will be wasted." He Yan looked at him, "Oh, you are like a Fei Nu, waiting for me outside and I can go in by myself."

"no."

"Young Master, okay," He Yan had no choice, "This is not OK, that is not OK. What are you going to do?"

Xiao Jue looked at the dog hole with expressionless expression for a moment, suddenly lifted the corner of his robe, half-kneeled down, turned his head to He Yan and said, "You first."

This time, He Yan was really shocked, "You really want to drill?"

"Hurry up." Xiao Jue could no longer bear it.

He Yan was originally looking forward to using this dog hole to make Xiao Jue retreat, but he didn't expect that this person would actually get into it. For a moment, he felt a lot of emotion. If Xiao Jue's sacrifice was too great. If the soldiers of the South Prefecture of Jiuqi Camp knew that their governor came to get into the dog hole without sleeping in the middle of the night, he would definitely kill her.

However, this was not intentionally embarrassing He Yan. This dog hole in the He family was digging herself. The He family did not like to raise dogs, and He Yan personally fed stray dogs outside. This place is much safer than what Xiao Jue said about climbing over the wall.
