Duan Tianyang walked out of Yi Shuirou's villa, and Lu Jingyuan was already waiting at the door.

He asked, "Jingyuan, where is the messenger from Xuanhuang City?"

"In the lobby."

"Bring him to me in the garden."

"Yes!" Lu Jingyuan responded and left quickly.

Soon, Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer walked into the garden with a frail young man in his thirties.

Duan Tianyang was strolling leisurely in the pavilion. He turned around when he heard the voice and his eyes fell on the young man.

This young man had a handsome face, was gentle and refined, looked like a scholar, and was covered in dust, obviously having come from a long journey.

The two men's eyes met, and the young man showed surprise. Duan Tianyang's handsomeness and extraordinary temperament were exactly as the young master described. Even in a sea of ​​people, it was hard to ignore him.

The young man stepped into the pavilion and bowed: "I am Wang Xin, and I am here to meet Master Duan!"

Duan Tianyang was very unfamiliar with this name. He waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be polite and asked, "Are you from Xuanhuang City?"

"That's right." Wang Xin nodded in confirmation.

"I don't seem to have any friends in Xuanhuang City..." Duan Tianyang waved his hand and asked Wang Xin to take a seat.

Wang Xin sat down and said with a smile: "Lord Duan may have forgotten that you actually have an old friend in Xuanhuang City."

Duan Tianyang frowned slightly: "Old friend? Who is it?"

"This..." Wang Xin looked at Lu Jingyuan and Hua Duoer beside the pavilion, feeling a little hesitant.

Duan Tianyang smiled and said, "They are my brothers who have shared life and death with me. Mr. Wang, just speak frankly."

Wang Xin then no longer hesitated, took out something from his arms, placed it in his palm, and gently pushed it in front of Duan Tianyang: "My Lord, once you see this, you will know who the old man I am talking about is."

After saying that, he moved his hand away. Duan Tianyang lowered his head to examine it, and saw an exquisite jade plate lying quietly on the stone table.

On it, the craftsman carved the word "Fan" with exquisite skills.

When Duan Tianyang saw the jade token, he made a brief connection and instantly knew the identity of the person to whom the jade token belonged.

Yi Fan? Why did he send someone to look for me?

I don't think I'm very familiar with him...

At the same time, Gu Jianhong quietly walked towards the garden from the side of the villa.

As he approached the edge of the garden, his figure suddenly became ethereal, as if blending into the surrounding air. When he reappeared, he was already standing leisurely on a big tree in the garden, peeking quietly among the branches and leaves.

Unexpectedly, the branch where he was perched suddenly began to ripple, and the space next to it twisted. Qiu Tieyi unexpectedly appeared there, squatting next to him.

Gu Jianhong's heart trembled, and he quickly looked sideways, only to see Qiu Tieyi standing on tiptoe on the treetop in a similar posture as him, imitating his movements, pushing aside the dense leaves, and casting a curious look towards the depths of the inner courtyard.

Gu Jianhong stared blankly at Qiu Tieyi, and after a moment of observation, the latter slowly turned his head and met Gu Jianhong's gaze. A mischievous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, revealing his white teeth as he said, "Brother Jian, what are you looking for with such concentration?"

Facing Qiu Tieyi's teasing, Gu Jianhong looked embarrassed, forced a smile, and stammered, "Haha, I just had nothing to do, so I just took a look."

After saying that, he changed the subject and asked, "Brother Tie, why did you follow me here?"

Qiu Tieyi laughed and patted Gu Jianhong on the back nonchalantly, with a sly look in his eyes: "I saw you were in a hurry, so I was curious and followed you to see what you were doing."

After that, he pointed lightly at the tree and said in a relaxed tone: "Since we are both free, why don't we take this opportunity to go down and have a chat?"

Gu Jianhong looked at Qiu Tieyi's leisurely and contented appearance and couldn't help but laugh. He shook his head, then stretched out his body and leaped down from the treetop like an eagle soaring into the sky.

Qiu Tieyi was not willing to be left behind and followed closely behind, and the two of them landed steadily together.

He picked up a small package from under the tree and said with a smile, "It's really fate. I just bought some braised beef and two pots of liquor, and was thinking about who to drink with. I never thought that I would meet you here by chance. Come on, let's drink and enjoy the meal!"

Gu Jianhong knew very well that Qiu Tieyi's appearance was no accident, but he was waiting outside the garden on purpose.

He said this just to save his face and avoid embarrassment.

So, he also went with the flow and responded with a smile: "How can I let Brother Tie spend money?"

"Hey, you and I are brothers, both are hidden warriors, we should be as close as brothers. It's a bit too polite to be so polite. Let's go and have some wine and meat."

After saying that, Qiu Tieyi generously put his arm around Gu Jianhong's shoulder, and the two walked side by side towards his residence.

In the garden, Duan Tianyang gently pushed the jade token towards Wang Xin, with a hint of uncertainty on his face, and asked: "Excuse me, is the owner of this jade token Yi Fan?"

Wang Xin took the jade token, carefully hid it in his arms, and then nodded to confirm: "That's right."

Duan Tianyang asked further, with some doubt in his voice: "Young Master Yi asked you to come to me, what is the matter? Do you have any letters?"

Wang Xin shook his head slightly and replied, "No letter."

"Ok?"

"I came here with only a verbal message," Wang Xin explained. "The matter involved is extremely important. If the letter is accidentally lost or intercepted by others, the consequences will be unpredictable. In addition, some details are difficult to explain in a letter, so it may be more appropriate for me to come here in person and talk to Lord Duan on behalf of the young master."

After hearing these words, Duan Tianyang's brows furrowed even more tightly, his heart full of questions.

What on earth is Yi Fan up to? What is he doing so mysteriously?

Wang Xin said seriously: "Young Master has always admired you very much. Since you were transferred to Xiguan City by the princess, Young Master has always missed you. Unfortunately, the distance between Xuanhuang City and Xiguan is far. Although Young Master wants to take care of you, he is powerless."

Duan Tianyang couldn't understand this at all...

I am not that familiar with Yi Fan yet, right?

If I say I admire him, he can understand...

He really couldn't understand when I said I missed him...

"What exactly does Young Master Yi want to talk to me about?" Duan Tianyang couldn't help but ask.

Wang Xin stared at Duan Tianyang intently, his tone becoming deeper: "My Lord, do you know who is in control of the court now?"

"do not know!"

Duan Tianyang only knew that Yi Tian and Ling Ziyan were on the front line at this time. According to common sense, it should be Yi Fan's responsibility, but from Wang Xin's question, it is not difficult to find out that the person in charge of the court at this time is not Yi Fan, but someone else.

And this person is likely to be prejudiced against himself and the Hongxing Army...

He fixed his eyes on Wang Xin, waiting for what to say next.

Wang Xin continued calmly, "The one who is in control of the situation at the court right now is the princess's biological mother, Shen Ruolan."

what?

Duan Tianyang was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect it to be her...

He understood immediately. No wonder the court was targeting him so much. It turned out that it was her doing...

She had disliked the original owner from the beginning and opposed the original owner's marriage to Ling Ziyan. It could even be said that the original owner's sudden death had something to do with her...
