Ruyi Jue

Shen Yufeng never expected that Yun Lian would take him directly to Liu's house for the night.

The Liu family is also a large merchant family in Chang'an. The Liu family has a huge family business. The main house is located on the widest alleyway in the east of Chang'an City. Shen Yufeng, led by Yun Lian, came to the gate of the Liu family. He still had a serious face and refused to dismount.

Yun Lian noticed his abnormality, turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

Shen Yufeng looked down at him from the horse and said, "Why did you bring me to Liu's house?"

Yun Lian seemed to be stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Are you afraid of meeting someone?"

"No," he hastily denied, and jumped off the horse, "I just don't understand. According to your Yun family's financial resources and status in Chang'an, there are many yards. Why did you come to Liu's house to avoid the limelight?"

Yun Lian shook his head and smiled and said, "I can't help it. Before I went back to Yun's house, I met Han Yan on the street. After she found out about you, she kept saying that she wanted to meet you. I thought that since we are old acquaintances, then I'll just bring you to live in Liu's house. Anyway, Liu's house is much quieter than Yun's house, so you don't have to be afraid of being disturbed by outsiders. Why," he raised his eyebrows slightly, "You don't want to see her, do you?"

Shen Yufeng pursed his lips slightly, and denied again: "No."

He suppressed the impetuous emotions in his heart, and followed Yun Lian generously into Liu's house.

They didn't come at the right time, the Liu family's father and daughter both went out, and only the housekeeper was left to receive them.

After hearing about their intentions, the manager graciously assigned them a courtyard in Xierli Lane of the Liu family, saying that the young lady had told them in advance that they could live there temporarily without any worries.

Yun Lian also seemed to know in advance, asked the specific direction of the other courtyard, took the key, and left Liu's house.

Walking out of the gate of Liu's house, Shen Yufeng finally breathed a sigh of relief. Yun Lian at the side noticed his fluctuating mood, and said strangely: "I'm surprised, obviously you and her also know each other, why does it seem like you are facing a big enemy when you talk about meeting her?" ?”

Shen Yufeng has indeed formed a heart knot over the years. Although he has broken his relationship with Yun Lian, when he thinks about the marriage contract between him and Liu Hanyan, he still feels like a big stone is blocked in his heart, but these emotions are true for him. It was impossible to reveal it to Yun Lian, so he just shook his head: "It's okay, you're thinking too much."

Yun Lian laughed a few times, without asking any further questions, they got on the horse again, rode for a few breaths, and arrived at the other courtyard of the Liu family.

The other courtyard here is located at the end of Chang'an West Street. When the gate is opened, there is a small bridge with flowing water. There are pavilions in the water and a pavilion in the courtyard.

Even though Shen Yufeng felt extremely uncomfortable with Liu Hanyan's existence, he had to admit that Liu Hanyan was indeed a caring and understanding woman, and she chose such a quiet place for them to live temporarily. Obviously, their situation has been considered.

Such a woman, of course, deserves a happy marriage. She and Yun Lian are a perfect match. What right do I have to dream about more things that don't belong to me?

He was thinking blankly, but he didn't notice that Yun Lian had already opened the gate of the other courtyard, and walked in. When he found Shen Yufeng standing in front of the door and didn't follow, Yun Lian couldn't help turning his head: "What's wrong?"

Only then did Shen Yufeng come back to his senses: "It's nothing."

After entering the other courtyard, the two each chose a wing room and stayed there. Shen Yufeng still couldn't let go of Hong Lian's matter in his heart, so he called the Fang brothers over early the next morning.

The Fang family brothers have not been idle these few days, but have found an opportunity to visit all the prisons in Chang'an City, but they have not found the whereabouts of Hong Lian and Shi Fengting. After a while, which prison was the person escorted to, and the person was hidden so deeply.

After listening to their narration, Yun Lian said, "The only possibility is that the Sixth Prince took him to his residence without telling the truth about Dali Temple and the Ministry of Punishment."

Shen Yufeng also nodded: "I think so too, the Sixth Prince covers the sky with one hand in the imperial city, and it's a breeze to detain people in his mansion without many eyes and ears."

The Fang brothers couldn't help but lose their voice: "Then what should we do now?"

Shen Yufeng also felt that this matter was very tricky, shook his head and said, "Let me think about it first."

But how?

The little emperor is already clearly on the side of the sixth prince, and it is impossible to give them any help, and the group of dignitaries in the court are either staying out of the matter, or have ulterior motives like the old prime minister... In short, before they have a full grasp of the situation in Chang'an , They dare not trust anyone, they can only rely on themselves.

Just thinking about this, suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and the four people in the room were startled.

"It should be Hanyan." Yun Lian got up.

The Fang family brothers looked at each other, cupped their hands to Shen Yufeng and said, "Master Shen, let's take our leave first."

Shen Yufeng knew that they leaked the matter to prevent people from talking too much, but he didn't keep them, allowing them to bypass the back door of the other courtyard and slip out.

After knocking on the door for a while, Yun Lian went over and opened the door.

Shen Yufeng stood up on the chair, and said softly, "Miss Liu."

Liu Hanyan was wearing a long dress of water lilies, with a slender waist, and was led by Yun Lian into the house, followed by a fifteen or sixteen-year-old maid, carrying a food box in her hand.

Liu Hanyan smiled and said: "This is a bit of hibiscus cake made in the kitchen. I brought some here for you to try."

Shen Yufeng said: "Thank you."

Liu Hanyan smiled and said: "You're welcome." He ordered the maid to put the food box on the table, and asked, "Are you still used to living here?"

Shen Yu heard the smell of ghee coming from the food box, and nodded: "It's okay."

Liu Hanyan turned to Yun Lian again and said: "This courtyard has been unoccupied for a long time, and all the equipment is not complete, but fortunately, it is not far from Liu's house. If you have anything to do, call Xiao Zhou who buys jujube cakes at the door to come to Liu's house." Look for me, and if I'm not there, find someone in charge to pass it on to me, it's the same."

She was so polite, Shen Yufeng couldn't bear to face him coldly, and cupped his hands and said, "Thank you Miss Liu."

Liu Hanyan said a few words to the two of them politely, his eyes fell on the four teacups on the table, and he said with a wink: "Don't bother you two to discuss important matters, Hanyan will leave first."

She led the maidservant and turned around and walked out of the room. When she walked to the door, she suddenly remembered something, then turned around and said: "Master Yun, Master Shen, we have rejected you for the past two days, don't worry, you are staying here now." Here, you'll be safe."

Shen Yufeng paused, suspecting that he had heard it wrong, but Yun Lian had a natural attitude, nodded and said, "Okay, I see. I'll see you off."

He sent the man out of the gate of the other courtyard, and when he came back, he saw Shen Yufeng standing still, staring blankly at the food box on the table.

"What are you looking at?" Yun Lian asked strangely.

Shen Yufeng shook his head: "It's nothing."

He just couldn't figure it out. From the beginning to the end, Liu Hanyan behaved in a natural and dignified manner, without even a single point of fault, but this made him feel strange that the relationship between Yun Lian and Liu Hanyan was not as good as he was. For being so close, even the two of them address each other, not like newlyweds who are about to get married, but like just ordinary friends.

However, he soon came to his senses and couldn't help laughing at himself. The two of them had already broken up their relationship. What does it have to do with him whether Yun Lian marries or not?What right do I have to be jealous here?

He breathed a sigh of relief, and put his mind back on rescuing Hong Lian.Gathering his mind, he thought for a while, and suddenly, he took out the "Ming Xin" sword from his bosom.

"Are you planning to rob the prison?" Yun Lian, who was opening the food box, stopped moving.

Shen Yufeng didn't expect that Yun Lian could sense what was going on in his heart just by drawing the sword. He was a little surprised, but then quickly said: "Yes, since the emperor can't get through, I will use my own way to save lives."

"Don't be impulsive!" Yun Lian pressed his hand holding the sword and said anxiously, "You know this is Chang'an, the imperial city!"

Shen Yufeng stared down at his hand calmly, and then met his gaze: "Don't forget, we are not friends now."

Yun Lian's face suddenly changed, and he quickly withdrew his hand: "I haven't forgotten!"

"Then what does it matter to you whether I save people?" Shen Yufeng asked again.

"I..." Yun Lian was momentarily speechless.

Shen Yufeng shook his head again: "I said, there is no friendship between us, and you don't have to worry about my business!"

Yun Lian sneered and said, "If you don't care about it, you don't care about it, who cares!" He didn't eat the pastry, and rushed out quickly, rushing out the door.The door panel was lifted by the wind passing by his figure, and it slammed against the wall, making a loud "bang".

The author says:

Yun Lian: Didn't we break off friendship?

Shen Yufeng (indifferent face): Oh...
