Star Trace Gate

After the man left, the thatched cottage returned to silence.

Li Yan stood at the window with his hands behind his hands, staring deeply at the bright moon in the sky, feeling a little regretful in his heart.

Tonight, after Xing Tao and Guo Caier got into trouble, he originally wanted to use the magical ability of Ink World to confirm the identities of other players one by one.

But he didn't expect... The first player Li Yan saw was Tang Feng, and the other player was quite coquettish and used charm when he came up, which interrupted all his plans.

The key things were not done, so the two of them plowed the ground in the small garden at the back door for a while.

Alas, but that's okay. He laid out his plans relatively early and laid out his lines relatively long, so he didn't care about temporary gains and losses...

"Phew~!"

Suddenly, the sharp sound of sharp arrows piercing the air struck, and Li Yan took three steps back in alarm.

"Snapped!"

There was a muffled sound, and an arrow shot from nowhere was nailed to the window frame outside the door. The tail of the arrow shook violently before calming down.

Li Yan was startled for a moment, and after careful observation for a long time, he reached out and pulled out the arrow outside the window.

There is a piece of paper inserted at the arrow. Take it out and spread it out. There is a line of small words on it.

"Master Li, my life-saving grace tonight will be unforgettable. If you are in danger in the princess's tomb, you can call for an arrow from the sky, and I will risk my life to help. A small transparent player in the imperial camp left a message."

Li Yan's eyes scanned the note, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "They are all very cautious."

As soon as he finished speaking, he walked to the desk, picked up the fire folder, burned the note, and threw it into the spittoon.

Tonight, Xing Tao and Guo Cai'er disrupted the situation, causing the Chang Shi Mansion to pay a heavy price. More than 20 guests were killed or injured on the spot. Even the chief housekeeper's pregnant concubine was brutally murdered by Zhang Meixuan.

However, the gains are also obvious.

Li Yan's actions to protect all players maximized his prestige and trust in the imperial camp.

After the banquet was over, these people sent messages one after another, which was the best proof.

After walking a few steps back and forth in the thatched cottage, Li Yan leaned on the table, reached for a pen and paper, and began to write a secret letter.

A moment later, the door of the thatched cottage was knocked open with a bang.

The old housekeeper was wearing a blood-stained gown. After entering the house, he knelt on the ground with a bang and cried bitterly: "...Sir, you have to make the decision for me! My concubine has been pregnant for several months and has always been kind to others, but tonight she... Killed by a female thief... one body, two lives... Sir, old slave...!"

Li Yan was startled for a moment, then immediately stepped forward and reached out to help him: "Ask, who did it?"

"Someone... someone saw a woman with a knife breaking into my home." The old housekeeper said with a runny nose: "Please make the decision for me."

Li Yan looked at him calmly: "Just now someone told me, who in this world doesn't have a few close relatives? You and I have been in Prince Huai's Mansion for many years, and although we are masters and servants, we are as close as brothers. This hatred, I will repay it for you!"

The old housekeeper burst into tears of gratitude and kowtowed repeatedly.

Li Yan turned around, picked up the note he had just written on the table, and bent down to hand it to the butler: "I have something that needs to be done by someone else... I'm not sure, I need you to handle it yourself."

……

In Prince Huai's Mansion, there is a rather special courtyard called the "Nvjuan Courtyard".

King Lao Huai was ordered by the imperial court to lead an army to conquer southern Xinjiang. When he left, there were thousands of soldiers and horses. When he returned, there were many tombstones. Many men and sons had returned to their dead bodies, their souls shattered in a foreign land.

These dead soldiers left behind many family members who had no one to take care of them. Lao Huai Wang was benevolent, so he set up a women's concubine in the palace, and used his own money to support these orphans and women's family members for a long time, and strictly ordered that no one was allowed to harass them. .

As long as the word "Huai Wang" still exists in heaven and earth, then the descendants must also support them.

Zhang Meixuan is a family member who lost her father. Her identity card is also called "Martial Girl", but in her character memory, she has been bribed by the people of the court, and she is the emperor's hard-core dog leg.

In the main room, the man who had met Li Yan before returned, presented the book of the thatched cottage with his hands, and said softly: "The long history replied, this is the token of your recognition in the tomb."

"Thank you, uncle." Zhang Meixuan saluted and thanked him.

"Then you rest, I'll leave right away." The man replied politely and left in a hurry.

Zhang Meixuan picked up the Thatched Cottage Chronicle and took a look at it, with a look of admiration on her expression: "Oh, The Cottage Chronicle, elegant, elegant. As expected of a person in the court, it is very easy to interact with educated and smart people."

In the real world, Zhang Meixuan has received higher education and is respected by society for her profession. Therefore, her "noble elite temperament" has been formed since she was a child. Subtly, her class concept is also very serious. For example, she will show respect to the strong, and she will not hide her contempt for the weak.

This has advantages and disadvantages.

For people like her, once their own thinking forms a judgment, it is difficult for others to change it.

……

Haishi is right.

Ren had already finished two hours of work.

He was still very weak, lying on his back on the princess's bed, wiping sweat away.

Her Royal Highness, who had eaten and drank enough, had changed her clothes and walked out of the side hall.

She walked over with her long hair loose, her body light, and her bare feet: "We will go to the tomb in about an hour, why don't you go back and prepare?"

"...My dear concubine, are you just a wallflower that sways in the wind?" Ren Ye asked suddenly.

Xu Qingzhao was startled for a moment, then he sat on the futon and stretched out his jade hands to play with the tea set: "How do you say this?"

"People from the imperial camp, even if they need to contact me on a mission, will not give me supernatural powers, let alone watch me kill Liu Ling'er with my own hands." Ren also looked up at the ceiling: "So, you can't be that person from the imperial court. On the other side, and...it can't be on my side, otherwise you wouldn't have to emphasize again and again that you don't want to get involved in the turmoil in Prince Huai's Mansion. So there is only one possibility left...that is, being a wallflower."

Xu Qingzhao nodded slightly, but did not deny it: "So what?"

"I don't know the ultimate goal of the grassroots camp, and I don't know if you can change your stance." Ren Ye sat up suddenly and looked at this beautiful beauty with a smile: "But I have a way to change your attitude. Camp position, join my side.”

Xu Qingzhao's pretty face did not show any surprise or joy: "What benefits can I get if I help you?"

Ren also admired this woman's sense of immersion. Everyone is a player and they all come in from the outside. Do you need to be polite every time you speak?

"...We can win together." Ren Ye boasted without hesitation: "The people on my boat are all strong men who can stand alone. And...I am still in the court camp, I cast a secret, and now I know every move there. If we join forces, we have a great chance of winning."

"Anzi? Has he already recognized you?" Xu Qingzhao asked calmly.

"Of course." Ren Ye raised his eyebrows and replied, "We have met several times in private."

Xu Qingzhao looked at him calmly: "There is a banquet in the Changshi Mansion, and the singer who just came in next to you and the bodyguard have disappeared. If there is really a secret, why do they need to risk their lives? ?”
