[two hundred and forty-seven] behind the scenes

Hearing this, Ning Nanyou and Jiang Chengjia looked at each other and asked him at the same time: "Who is looking for you to come here?"

Dou Yueshan said embarrassedly: "I... don't know. Anyway, it's a person..."

Ning Nan was confused and stared at him like a fool, saying, "What are you saying? The one who called you to Liangzhou is not a human being, is it a ghost?"

Jiang Chengjia also looked disgusted: "After talking for a long time, it seemed like he didn't say anything. I said to you, it's not good for you to fool us like this."

Dou Yueshan leaned against the beam and pillar with a sad face, and said laughingly: "I didn't fool you. I really... I don't know who the person who came to me was. That person sent a letter to Zuo Fengyi and sent it to Dou's house. The silk silk was wrapped in a token that was passed through to the guards."

After he said that, he quickly took out the jade order from his arms and handed it to Ning Nanyou, and continued, "Brother, look, it's this. At first I thought it was sent by Lu Xun or Mr. Ji. But after reading the silk book, I was sure it was not them. I knew a little about the situation in the court. This person wrote your situation clearly in the letter and silk, and even attached a secret order from the Prince Huai Mansion. I looked carefully and it was aimed at you... So, I did not dare to delay at all, explained the situation to my grandmother, and rushed over."

"What afterwards? Will you know that we will settle here when you come to Liangzhou? There are seven stations within a radius of thousands of miles."

Ning Nanyou held the jade order and was skeptical about his words.

Dou Yueshan was anxious, feeling uncomfortable all over, and didn't know how to explain to the two people in front of her: "I, I really don't know what's going on. When I arrived in Liangzhou, someone came to pick me up and checked in to this inn. It was the man who gave me a quick look and asked me to wait for you here. After that... it's today..."

Jiang Chengjia frowned, held his chin and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered something: "Slow down, slow down..."

She stared at Dou Yueshan and asked with a strange look: "I have ignored a question. How do you know that I am your sister-in-law? The face I am holding...but you have never seen before. It would be fine if your brother recognized it at a glance, but what's wrong with you? I think my disguise technique is not so easy to see through."

Dou Yueshan paused, shrank her neck and looked at the girl, and said hesitantly: "This, this is also... the person who called me here told me in his letter. He said... Sister-in-law, you no longer have been in the capital, but have quietly gone to the northern border town without hiding it."

"Who will know my whereabouts so clearly?"

Jiang Chengjia was surprised and said, "Some people know about my departure from Luoyang. That person knows even this?"

Dou Yueshan nodded: "This matter was indeed told by that person to me. I also found it strange, why did he know such a secret message and doubt whether he had entered the thief's nest? It was not until just now that I saw you and your brother walking down from the carriage that I was sure that what the person said was not fake."

Jiang Chengjia asked again: "It's strange? Even if you see a maid appearing next to your brother, why are you sure it's me immediately?"

Dou Yueshan curled her lips and said speechlessly: "Because my brother has never liked any woman to approach him since he was a child. Therefore, there is no maid next to him. Therefore, the only one who can be close to him is your sister-in-law! Isn't it easy to guess? I don't know my brother's temperament."

After saying this, the girl bent her lips with a little smugness, and her eyes and eyebrows were filled with joy. Ning Nanyou listened, and subconsciously glanced at her. Seeing her secretly laughing, she smiled unconsciously.

Dou Yueshan looked at this scene and said disgustedly: "Ning Zhaoyuan, can you collect your eyes? Your eyes are eager to nail to your wife."

Ning Nanyou was stunned for a moment, and he looked at him calmly. There was a little chill and threat in his eyes: "Dou Zi said?"

Dou Yueshan stuck out her tongue and snorted: "It's just a serious matter!"

Jiang Chengjia couldn't help laughing when he saw the two brothers quarrel.

Ning Nanyou held the girl's shoulder and hugged her into his arms, as if he was deliberately stimulating the young man opposite him, and raised his head proudly. Dou Yueshan couldn't stand it and gritted her teeth and said, "I'm really, I'm having enough food and having nothing to do. What should I worry about you? I'll suffer from this place where birds don't poop!"

While complaining, he raised his hand and turned around. Somehow, Jiang Chengjia felt a little jealousy heard in his tone.

Ning Nanyou was too lazy to pay attention to him, and held the girl in his arms and sat on the soft mat set by the screen. Then he habitually touched his thumb, thinking about the person who led Dou Yueshan here, and analyzed it: "From your words, this person must have known my personality very well, my whereabouts and plans, and... he always pays attention to the movements of Jiang Mansion in the capital in Beijing. He knew very well that I and Aluo were just a seemingly disagreement with our wife, and knew our actual situation."

"And he knows you very well. Otherwise, how can you accurately grasp your temperament and make you rush to Liangzhou? This person even has a method to directly reach the inner world of the Jingshu Guard, even... Among my people, there are the forces he has cultivated. Otherwise, how could he get the token that belongs to the inner world of the Jingshu Guard?"

After his explanation like this, he quickly attracted Dou Yueshan's attention. The young man standing beside the beam and pillar immediately turned his foot and walked towards the boy and girl, landed on the soft pad next to them, and said with a serious look: "Aren't you the people who are familiar with you who are Lu Xun and Ji Xianzhi? But... the writing habit of this letter is obviously not the two of them. Moreover, if it were them, there is no need to hide your identity from me."

"Of course it's impossible. Lu Xun wanted to guard the capital for me, watch the Marquis' Mansion, and monitor the every move of Princess Nanyang. Uncle Ji was in Jianye and separated from me for many days. Although he knew my current situation, he did not know that His Majesty wrote a secret edict ordering me to Liangzhou."

Dou Yueshan said uneasyly: "Then... it's not Zhou Yuanmo? Or is it Lu Sheng who betrayed his sister-in-law?"

Ning Nanyou shook his head: "It's impossible that it's them. Zhou Yuanmo and I have no grace. How is my current situation? No matter how much he can inquire, he can't be completely clear. As for Jiang Mansion... Shui Pavilion is extremely strict in defense, Jiang Chengyi's cautiousness is also strong, and he will never find any real news. As for Lu Sheng..."

He looked at the girl in his arms and heard her follow-up, "It's even more impossible for him. Since Qin Ye rebelled out of the Water Pavilion, my brother has removed all the eyes and ears he had placed in the Pavilion. Even if there is any remaining, he will never let his hand reach the Jiang Mansion in the capital. Qin Ye has no way of knowing my situation."

Dou Yueshan murmured: "Who could that be?"

At this time, the couple opposite each other had a clear guess in their minds.

Ning Nanyou spoke softly and said, "Don't think too much, you will know the matter until tonight."

Dou Yueshan looked at him in surprise: "Do you already know who it is?"

Ning Nan's silent voice did not answer, but his eyes were extremely calm.

Seeing this, Dou Yueshan immediately said helplessly: "Since you have guessed, why didn't you tell me earlier? It made me tense up and nervous for so long?"

"Although there has been inference, it is not very certain. However... I can confirm that the person who came to Liangzhou was out of good intentions and had no bad intentions. At least, he really wanted you to help me."

"How do you say this?"

"If this is not the case, he would not have let you disguise and wait here. If this person wants to harm you and me, he will let you live in the inn in his original appearance and then release the news. My father's detailed work in Liangzhou will soon learn about this and will report it to the Huai Palace immediately. Since you were assassinated in the suburbs of Beijing, my father has never given up on you. If he knew that you were in Liangzhou, he would definitely arrange assassination again.

As for me... if my father knew that you came to Liangzhou specially, he could guess that you came to see me... Then my fate would not be better. My father has always hated me for having too much date with you Dou family. If you have something, you will definitely get angry.

Since this person carefully sent you to a station where I am most likely to settle down, and deliberately changed your favor for you, it is enough to prove that he does not want your identity to be exposed, nor does he want others to know about you and me to meet you and me. With this, it can already show that this person has no evil intentions."

Ning Nan explained the situation and calculated it, and was sure that the person behind the scenes would have no intention of harming others.

Dou Yueshan nodded and then felt strange: "It's interesting. This person has tried his best to get you and me together. What do you want to do?"

"I said... don't worry. I will know why he brought you here tonight." Ning Nanyou replied calmly.

Dou Yueshan raised her eyes and frowned and said, "Tonight?"

He carefully recalled Ning Nanyou's words and asked, "Brother, do you know anything else?"

Ning Nanyou didn't answer, calmed down and lowered his eyes without saying a word.

Jiang Chengjia then picked up the topic at the right time and said, "Erlang must be very tired when he runs bumpy along the way. He still has injuries on his body, so he can't be so tired. The master said... Please let your brother rest for a while. Are there any meals prepared at this post station? Can you accompany me to the kitchen and take a look?"

When Dou Yueshan heard this, she was shocked and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot that Zhaoyuan still has injuries. The shopkeeper of the station was left by that person. He had known that you would come here and prepare meals every day, and there was food in the kitchen. I will accompany you."

Jiang Chengjia nodded, turned around, and said to Ning Nanyou: "Erlang, you need to sleep for a while before you can be energetic at night. Let's go, I'll help you to the tent?"

The husband responded lowly and shallowly, and stood up from the cushion following her hand.

After settled down Ning Nanyou, Jiang Chengjia put down the curtain and quietly retreated. He pulled Dou Yueshan to the small hall beside him, picked up the leather goods with the human face that he threw away, and said softly in a voice: "This leather goods are excellent, but unfortunately they fell into the hands of people with poor skills. Zi said, sit down, I will put on makeup and disguise for you again."

Dou Yueshan was naturally happy with her in person, so she obediently listened to her words, sat on the cushion, waiting for her to draw a picture for herself and recreate her appearance.

Jiang Chengjia took the materials locally, took the rouge powder placed in the house, and painted it on Dou Yueshan's face.
