Qi Jing was stunned for a moment, then said apologetically, "Sorry, I don't know..."

Yan Zhilan stabilized his mind and said lightly: "It has nothing to do with you."

Qi Jing couldn't bear to see him trying to stay calm, but thinking of the special nature of the puppet formation, he hesitated for a while, and asked, "Have you found out who set up the formation?"

Yan Zhilan nodded: "Found it."

Qi Jing looked at his face, and asked cautiously: "Then in the end..."

Yan Zhilan's fingertips tucked into his sleeves couldn't stop trembling. It was a past event that both he and the Yan family couldn't bear to look back on.

He was already seven or eight years old at that time, although he was still young, he could already remember things.

The originally loving parents quarreled endlessly every day, and there was no peace in the family.He didn't understand what was going on, so he ran to ask Jing Bo.Jing Bo just patted his head and sighed, "You made a crime, you made a crime."

Until one day, when he was supposed to take a nap, he had an inexplicable strong intuition in his heart that he couldn't fall asleep no matter what, so he wanted to talk to his father.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked outside the house where his parents lived, he heard his father roaring: "No! I can't do it!"

Almost subconsciously, Yan Zhilan's small figure hid under the window sill, not daring to take another step forward.

Then he heard his mother cry, "I beg you, kill me. I don't want to live like this anymore."

The father's voice slowed down: "Let's think about other ways, the puppet array may not be unsolvable. Think about Fanzhi, he is still so young, how can he not have a mother?"

After saying these words, for a long time, there was no movement in the room.

Yan Zhilan couldn't help poking his head out from under the window sill, but saw the nightmare that had haunted him all his life since then.

He saw his mother lying on her back in his father's arms, with a gleaming dagger pierced deep in her chest, blood was still bubbling out like a blood hole, and the handle of the dagger was held in his father's hand.

His mother, with a smile on her lips, said intermittently: "If I don't die, I will make a big mistake in the future, and I will become a stain on Fanzhi's body that can never be washed away. Only when I die can Fanzhi leave him cleanly." The way to go..."

Yan Zhilan's head exploded with a bang, and the world suddenly lost its color and turned into black and white.

He didn't know how he got out, or even whether he cried or not. He only knew that when he became conscious again, his mother had already been buried, and all he had left was a small spiritual tablet.

After this incident, the gap between him and his father gradually grew, and his temper became more and more taciturn.

A few years later, his father seemed to have a premonition, and began to teach him how to manage the affairs of the Yan family, and even tried to entrust him with the things that originally belonged to the family head.

Until one year before his father died, one day, his father called him into his room, and after a long silence, he told him something.

Only then did he know that his mother had been under the control of the puppet formation, and every time she was conscious, she felt extremely tormented. She was always in fear, worrying that one day she would lose all her mind and go on a killing spree, making an irreversible mistake.In order to prevent this big mistake, she begged Yan Changping to kill her.

Yan Changping and her 20-year husband and wife, how did they deal with it?She expected that Yan Changping would refuse, so while his mind was collapsing, she pressed his hand and stabbed the dagger into her heart.

Yan Changping lost his beloved wife and hated the murderer behind the scenes, so he pretended not to know about the puppet formation. On the surface, everything was as usual, but secretly he kept looking for the whereabouts of the murderer.

After spending several years of hard work, he finally found a trace of clues, so he handed over everything in the Yan Mansion to Yan Zhilan, and went alone to arrest the real culprit.

……

"and after?"

Qi Jing rested his chin and listened earnestly. Seeing that Yan Zhilan stopped talking, he felt like a kitten's paws were tickling, wanting to know who the real culprit was behind the scenes.

"Later——" Yan Zhilan's eyes fell on the Liuliu teacup in his hand, he paused, and said: "Later, my father followed the clues to find Ninghe County..." At this point, he stopped again.

Qi Jing inexplicably felt that Ninghe County sounded familiar. After filtering it in his mind, he suddenly remembered that the mother-in-law of the little koi, Miss Jin, was from Ninghe County!Can't help but be speechless, Yan Changping, the head of the Yan family, is also a character.On the one hand, he was looking for the murderer who killed his ex-wife, on the other hand, he didn't forget to spread the branches and leaves for their Yan family, admiration!

Yan Zhilan obviously also thought of the Jin family in Ninghe County, but his mood at the moment was different from before.Maybe it's because of telling the secrets that have been accumulated in my heart for many years. Once the years of incomprehension and resentment towards my father are vented, and looking back at what my father did, it seems that it is not so unforgivable.

The death of his mother was an indelible pain for him in his life, so why not for his father?

Father and mother have been married for many years, and they have always been harmonious, loving, and a fairy couple that everyone envies.Apart from other things, which patriarch in this world doesn't have a charming concubine by his side?Only the father, and from beginning to end, only the mother.

After his mother left, he occasionally passed by the house where his father lived and looked through the window. From time to time, he could see his father muttering to his mother's portrait, and even once or twice, he could vaguely hear his father choking The sound of crying.

It's just that at that time he still had a grudge against his father, and subconsciously rejected everything he heard and saw.Looking back now, in the few years after his mother left, he didn't seem to see his father smile very much. The originally bright and bright person gradually became numb and indifferent like walking dead.

It wasn't until the day when his father rushed back from Ninghe County, when his life was dying, that Yan Zhilan finally saw the light of longing for life in his eyes again, but his injuries were too serious, and there was no way to recover, so he could only hold hatred And finally.

Yan Zhilan didn't understand at the time, but thinking about it now, maybe Miss Jin gave his father the hope of living a second time, so that he could finally walk out of the shadow of his dead wife, but before he had time to continue writing, he suddenly Long gone.

Seeing that Yan Zhilan was lost in thought again, Qi Jing picked up a pen to write and draw on the paper out of boredom.

When Yan Zhilan got out of his memories, he found that Qi Jing had already filled a whole sheet of paper, in a mess that was incomprehensible.

Qi Jing was painting happily, when he suddenly heard Yan Zhilan's voice asking: "What is this?"

Qi Jing shook his hand, and a drop of thick ink dripped on the paper in front of him, ruining the drawing he had finally drawn, and he was so angry that he wanted to beat Yan Zhilan violently.

But then he thought that the other party had been exposed by himself just now, and it was really inappropriate to hit someone again, so he threw the pen away, and said angrily, "Guess."

Yan Zhilan looked at it, and there were ghostly symbols on it, one on one side and one on the other, with no rules at all, he really couldn't tell what it was.

Seeing his expression, Qi Jing knew that he must not have seen it, so he said triumphantly, "I knew you couldn't see it."

Yan Zhilan stretched out a slender finger, and tapped on the middle of the drawing paper, where a big circle was drawn, surrounded by the word "person", he was not sure: "This is a puppet array? "

Qi Jing glanced at him appreciatively: "Not bad, a child can be taught." He showed the result of his drawing to the other party with great interest, "Look here, let's start with the puppet array first."

He pointed at the drawing paper while talking, "Look, this puppet formation is the center. What we know is related to the current puppet formation. Your parents, you, me, the Zheng family, the Jin family, What do you see?"

Yan Zhilan looked in the direction where his finger was pointing, and gradually frowned: "What?"

Qi Jing quickly connected the dots with a line, "Since your father was attacked when he came back from Ninghe County, then he must have found something in Ninghe County, so the Jin family cannot be ruled out."

Yan Zhilan frowned and said, "If there is a problem with the Jin family, how could Jin Li be safe and sound while living outside?"

"I haven't figured out why yet," Qi Jing scratched his head, and continued, "Anyway, we don't have a clue, so let's just guess and play."

Yan Zhilan's face darkened: "Nonsense! How can you slander others for no reason?"

Qi Jing was not happy anymore, and looked at him with his arms crossed, but because of his height, he had to raise his head slightly to see Yan Zhilan's face, and in this way, the imposing manner disappeared a lot.

Losing is not losing, as long as the posture is sufficient, it doesn't matter whether it has enough momentum or not.Qi Jing silently comforted himself in his heart, and said to Yan Zhilan with a cold face: "You are a gentleman. Then, may I ask you, a gentleman, have you found a clue?"

Hearing this, Yan Zhilan's expression became even more difficult. If he had any clues, how could he have been trapped here for so long.

Qi Jing said while the iron was hot: "To deal with a gentleman, we naturally have to use a gentleman's method. To deal with a villain, if you still reason with him, how can it work? The reason why villains are called villains is because they have spotted you. The psychology of a gentleman is to maintain one’s identity and refuse to let go of airs. If I ask you, we’d better stand in the position of villains and think what they think, so that we can know what they want to do.”

Yan Zhilan remained silent.

Seeing that he didn't object, Qi Jing assumed that he had acquiesced, and continued: "Besides, I didn't say anything about the Jin family, I just connected people related to the puppet array."

Yan Zhilan's expression softened slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "I've seen Jin Li's child, and there's nothing unusual about it."

Qi Jing gave a "cut" in his heart, and said: I just said not to slander others for no reason, don't I still have doubts?

Yan Zhilan seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "All the descendants of the Yan family who have been living abroad must undergo a careful physical examination before their names can be entered into the family tree of the Yan family. This is the rule."

Qi Jing said perfunctorily: "I understand, I understand." Wasn't it to ensure the purity of the bloodlines and prevent bloodlines from being confused?

Yan Zhilan frowned and looked at him: "Jin Li's aptitude is pure and upright, and he is an excellent physique for cultivating authentic mental methods. His mother will never have anything to do with the devil world."

Qi Jing said absent-mindedly: "Oh." He said in his heart, nonsense, how is Jin Li still unclear to me?Is the protagonist halo given for nothing?

anyway……

Qi Jing always felt that something was missing before, but after he interrupted him, he finally realized what was wrong, "Speaking of Miss Jin's family, I suddenly remembered that you never mentioned your grandfather? Why?"

It wasn't that he wanted to gossip, but he suddenly thought, since Yan Zhilan's biological mother had passed through the puppet battle 11 years ago, while his father was unscathed, is there something wrong with his mother's clan?

Yan Zhilan suddenly stopped: "You doubt me?"

"No, no," Qi Jing saw that there was something wrong with his expression, and quickly comforted him, "Think about it carefully, why did the people who set up the puppet formation pick your family members to attack? Is there something in your family or you that caused the formation of the puppet formation? Coveted by others?"

Yan Zhilan calmed down, sorted out in his head according to the guidance in Qi Jing's words, shook his head, and responded to Qi Jing's previous words: "My mother is an orphan, and my grandfather rescued her and brought her back to Yan's house when he was traveling. of."

Having said that, he suddenly realized something, and looked at each other with Qi Jing.With the Yan family's upright and rigorous family style, how could it be possible for a woman of unknown origin to marry into the Yan family and sit on the head of the family?

Qi Jing spoke first: "Where did you save him?"

Yan Zhilan shook his head: "I'm not too sure about this, I have to ask the old man in the Yan Mansion. Now the old man in the Yan Mansion knows about this and is still alive..." He took a piece of paper, quickly wrote a few lines of small characters and rolled it into a small With the appearance of cutting a tree branch, he summoned the messenger spirit bird, pinned the letter paper to the spirit bird, patted its body lightly, watched it fly towards the direction of Yan Mansion with a "chirp", and then turned around. Turning around, he said to Qi Jing, "Bo Jing should know about this."

Seeing that he was in a trance, Qi Jing patted him on the shoulder.

Yan Zhilan took a deep breath, his voice was hoarse, showing a trace of obvious fragility: "I don't know, if it's really..." If it really has something to do with his mother, then what does his mother play in it? Role?How should he deal with himself?

Qi Jing looked at him sympathetically, no matter how mature he pretended to be on the surface, he was still a child who had just grown up, and his worldview for so many years was suddenly violently impacted, and no one could bear it.So he comforted him dryly: "It's just our guess now, and the truth hasn't been found yet..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard the sound of flapping wings.

Yan Zhilan stood up abruptly, walked to the window a few steps, stretched out his hand, and the spirit bird landed in his palm, uttering words.

Jingbo's voice came out, he seemed very surprised, first asked Yan Zhilan why he thought of asking the mistress, and then said slowly while recalling, "The day the mistress came to Yan's house, I remember Very deep, it was a day of lightning, thunder, and pouring rain. When the old Patriarch returned with his mistress, who was still a little girl, the servants gathered together and jokingly wondered if it was the old Patriarch’s illegitimate daughter..."

Jing Bo's peaceful voice spoke eloquently, as if there was a kind of magical power, which slowly calmed the uneasiness in Yan Zhilan's heart.

Through Jing Bo's voice, they seemed to be able to see everything that happened at that time.

Jingbo said: "The mistress attracted everyone's attention as soon as she entered the door. She was obviously a young girl with outstanding looks, but her expression was very cold. It seemed that no one could catch her eyes except the old Patriarch. Later , when the old Patriarch publicly announced that the mistress will be the son's future wife, none of us were surprised. Everyone knows that the son's eyes will light up only when he sees the mistress, that's when he sees his beloved Some brilliance."

"However, to our surprise, the mistress rejected the son's marriage proposal, and also rejected the old master's kindness. She bid farewell to the master, took nothing, and left Yan Mansion alone. Regardless of the old master's obstruction, the master, Chased after."

"A few years later, the old Patriarch died of illness, and the young master brought his mistress back to the Yan Mansion. Not long after, a young son was born. I just didn't expect such a thing to happen..."

Jingbo sighed, and said again, "As for the life experience of the mistress, the old Patriarch seemed to have mentioned that he was the mistress who was picked up in northern Xinjiang. There have been constant wars in northern Xinjiang, and the mistress was originally the daughter of a general. Later, the general died in a battle and lived on the streets. She was so good-looking that she attracted the covetousness of countless young people. The old patriarch traveled through northern Xinjiang and rescued his mother who was bullied by hooligans. She was a girl Poor, so I took her back to Yan Mansion."

The conversation stopped here, Qi Jing and Yan Zhilan looked at each other, and the same message was revealed in their eyes: that general!

It should not be too late, if you want to check, check it out, Qi Jing was about to call for someone, when Jing Bo's voice came out from the body of the messenger bird again, and he said: "If I remember correctly, when the mistress left the Yan Mansion, the son Looking for the direction of the past, it seems to be the northern border."

He asked Yan Zhilan through the spirit bird: "Young master, why are you asking these old things?"

After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something. After a moment of silence, he said cautiously: "Young master, because of the matter of the young master, do you also want to find your grandfather?"

Jingbo seemed to be talking about something later, but Yan Zhilan crushed the messenger spirit bird, Jingbo's voice stopped abruptly, and everything fell into silence.

Qi Jing gave a "tsk", regretfully said: "Rough."

I think it took him several days to draw a sound transmission talisman, but it might not work.The human Yan Zhilan has no mercy, and destroys it at will without blinking an eye, as simple as eating a mouthful of food and breathing a breath of air, it is really more angry than a human being.

But that is to say, business still needs to be done.

Qi Jing asked Yan Zhilan: "Do you still remember your mother's last name?"

If you know his mother's surname, you can look it up along this line.No matter what the result of the investigation is, it is still a clue, and it is okay to check it out. It is better than they are trapped in prison and helpless.

Yan Zhilan pinched his brows wearily: "Let me think about it."

Qi Jing didn't urge him, and added the word Beijiang on the paper that was already full.

After adding, he threw the pen casually and lay down on the table by himself. The matter became more and more complicated, and more and more people and places were involved. He deeply felt that his brain was not enough.

Thinking that his brain was not enough, he thought of the original author of "Repairing the Sky", and really wanted to go through and beat him up. What kind of shit plot is written by riding a horse!He is a loyal reader from the beginning to the end. From the time he came to this world to the present, nothing has happened according to the original work!It can kill the living and make the dead alive!

Qi Jing here is angrily scolding the author of "Xiu Tian" in his heart, and he has greeted all eighteen generations of his ancestors before feeling a little more comfortable.

When I looked up, I saw Yan Zhilan's solemn expression, and my heart skipped a beat, thinking that he didn't know what his mother's last name was, so he calmed down, smiled and comforted him, "Why? Don't you remember? It doesn't matter if you don't remember." , anyway, we can find other clues..."

"No." Yan Zhilan looked at him deeply, "Although no one in the Yan family has ever called my mother by my name, I remember my mother once said that her surname is Shen."

Qi Jing looked at him suspiciously: "Are you sure?" It's not that he doesn't believe Yan Zhilan, but that this surname is really rare, and there is no family with this surname in Dayue Kingdom. She thought Yan Zhilan was teasing him, or his mother was lying to him.

Yan Zhilan said firmly: "On the side of the sinking boat, thousands of sails are in the distance. That's right, it's the word."

Seeing his decisiveness, Qi Jing thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, according to what Jing Bo said, Ling Tang's father, that general should also be surnamed Shen. If it is the general who died in battle..."

His and Yan Zhilan's eyes met in the air, and the two understood each other, and said in unison: "Dossier."

Qi Jing recruited a small servant and asked him to find out the dossiers from the past 30 to five years and bring them here.

The waiter's voice went away, and Qi Jing's eyes glowed brightly, with a sense of excitement and excitement that the truth was about to be revealed, he poked Yan Zhilan: "If you follow this clue to find the people who set up the formation and break the puppet formation, what should you do?" thank me?"

Yan Zhilan glanced at him: "How do you want me to thank you?"

When Qi Jing thought that as long as he broke the puppet formation, he would be able to separate from Yan Zhilan from now on, and no longer need to be restrained by others, his mood immediately improved, and he said with a smile: "You really don't have any other brothers, no, sisters?" ?”

If a girl who looked similar to Yan Zhilan could be summoned into the palace to accompany him, even if she looked coldly at her every day, even if she was as icy as Yan Zhilan, he wouldn't mind.Who makes people look good?Color control is so unprincipled.

Yan Zhilan flicked his sleeves and sat down in front of him, said coldly: "No." He raised his chin slightly, and asked Qi Jing, "Hasn't Your Majesty always been very clear about the Yan family's affairs?"

Qi Jing's smile suddenly froze on his face: "What do you mean?"

Yan Zhilan said coldly: "Your Majesty, did you forget what your Majesty Liang Shangjun did on the day my younger brother came to recognize his relatives?"

Qi Jing's body froze, and he looked away guiltily.He thought that Yan Zhilan didn't notice him that day when he was in a state of confusion, but he didn't expect to find out a long time ago, but he just endured it until now.

He admitted that eavesdropping on other people's family affairs is not what a gentleman does, but at that time it was all because of worry!Extenuating circumstances can be forgiven!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help puffing out his chest, and said outrightly: "I was concerned about you and worried about you, so I had no choice but to do it. Otherwise, why didn't I climb on the roof of other people's houses? You don't want to get cheap and act good, I just dote on you That's why I pay so much attention to you! Otherwise, if you are someone else, I wouldn't even bother to take a look."

After he finished speaking, he always felt that something was weird, and it sounded weird.

Yan Zhilan said lightly: "Your Majesty's favor should be shared with others. Yan Fanzhi can't bear it."

Qi Jing: ...

He finally knew what was wrong. Why did this conversation sound so much like a young couple arguing and arguing?

At the same time, Yan Zhilan also realized something belatedly, thinking of what he said just now, the tips of his ears turned red.

The author has something to say: The emotional line between these two people is really a dying old mother_(:з」∠)_Thanks to the little angel who voted for me or irrigated the nutrient solution for me~
