Queen's Detective

That night, Yan Sanbai naturally couldn't leave.

One is that his mind is disturbed.Second, leaving like this might imply that there is no 300 taels of silver here, but it actually confirms that he has something for Li Yan.

This matter must be slowed down.

The next day, Yan Sanbai woke up but Li Yan was no longer there, and said alone: ​​"My lord went out to do some errands early in the morning, and today we will accompany you, Hero Yan, out to play."

Yan Sanbai was dumbfounded, he came to protect Li Yan, why did he come to visit the mountains and rivers now?

Before he could refuse, Xie Xiaotang happily jumped in, saying that Wu Ziying and Panda had already arrived at the door, and set off now.

Yan Sanbai was almost dragged out of the house by them, and the hospitality was hard to turn down.

Along the way, Panda was still complaining that he was not called for such a big incident yesterday, and he was simply not considered a friend.Wu Ziying gave him a disgusted look, "You were drunk the night before and slept like a pig yesterday, do you want me to run all over the streets with you on your back?"

Panda smiled awkwardly, "Hey, where are Uncle Chu and Brother Ying? Aren't they coming today?"

Wu Ziying said: "Uncle Chu said that today he will calm Brother Ying and let him have a good rest, but he can say that today's expenses are all on his head, just spend it, don't save him money."

"Tsk tsk, Uncle Chu is rich. By the way, I haven't visited Brother Ying yet, why don't we take a detour first?"

Wu Ziying quickly put her arms around him, "Okay, don't bother others, with Uncle Chu here, are you still afraid that something will happen to Brother Ying?"

"That's true." Panda immediately stopped worrying, and prepared to travel with peace of mind.

Wu Ziying secretly thought that he was a fool, and suddenly felt a sense of superiority in his heart - anyway, he was not the last to know, so that's good, that's good.

Compared with yesterday, today was a calmer day. The few people wandered around the city for a long time without encountering anything, as if everything that happened yesterday was an illusion.

Wu Ziying still had lingering fears, taking advantage of Panda Xie Xiaotang and the others playing in front, she said to Yan Sanbai: "About yesterday's prisoner, do you have any clues?"

"No." Yan Sanbai shook his head.

In fact, both Chu Yunlou and Yan Sanbai are sending people to investigate, but from last night to now, no matter which route they take, they will definitely fall short.The other party seemed to have evaporated from the world, and there was no clue at all.

Yan Sanbai remained silent about this.

In the following two or three days, everything seemed to have calmed down. Yan Sanbai waited for the man in the dark to come to him again to make a settlement, but the man never showed up again.

On the contrary, this made Yan Sanbai even more worried, and a moment of calm often means that the plot is further away.

And Li Yan also got busy, he couldn't make his mark in the court too early, so he had to stay away from Chang'an.But he got into the huge family system in the south again, this game of chess is not easy to play.

Yan Sanbai couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, Li Yan was busy and had no time to take care of the matters between them.Otherwise, Yan Sanbai didn't know how to get along with him all day long.

But he could tell that Li Yan seemed very tired, and his steps were heavier than before, but every time Yan Sanbai wanted to step forward to care, he remembered Li Yan's angry appearance that night, and walked away again.

This day Yan Sanbai went to the street alone, he wanted to try, maybe when he was alone, the person who knew his secret would appear.

However, the streets of Yingtianfu were full of traffic, and Yan Sanbai walked alone for a long time, looking at the bustling scene, he felt a sense of loneliness.

He was slightly taken aback, he had always walked alone, he had endured so many years of loneliness, why did he make such a mistake at this moment?

He couldn't figure it out, so he stood there for a while, and suddenly heard someone shouting in the restaurant behind him, he turned his head, and saw a window on the second floor behind him being pushed open by a folding fan, and a young man in red protruded from inside, He laughed and said something to the people below.

Yan Sanbai didn't pay attention to the content of his speech at all, the scene in front of him was so familiar, just like Chang'an, the moment when he met Li Yan.

The red-clothed prince who pointed out the country and the white-clothed guest who stopped outside the teahouse met each other just like that.

But soon Yan Sanbai withdrew his gaze again, even if the person on the second floor was wearing a red dress, his bearing was not as good as that of the rightful owner, but it was just a mere imitation.

At that moment, Li Yan's image in Yan Sanbai's heart suddenly became much higher.After comparison, I realized that Li Yan was so different.

No, his charm was innate, Yan Sanbai knew it from a long time ago.

Yan Sanbai thought about it, and then became a little lost again.

He used to think, and found himself in a really bad, weird situation.

Why did he suddenly think of him in this bustling street?

Why do you still have to say good things for him in your heart?

why...

"Young Master Yan? Young Master Yan?" Suddenly, Yan Sanbai heard someone calling him, and when he came back to his senses, he saw a young girl standing in front of him with a smile.

"Girl... are you calling?"

"Otherwise, is there another Mr. Yan here?" The girl blinked playfully, "My lady invites you to come over, and please show me your favor."

"Your lady?" Yan Sanbai was puzzled.Except for Xie Xiaotang, he didn't know any young ladies from Ying Tianfu's family.

"My lady is Lingyu."

Lingyu?This name is slightly familiar.Yan Sanbai thought about it carefully, and then remembered the opera singing heard in Linjiang Pavilion a few days ago, and remembered what Wu Ziying had said about her relationship with Li Yan.

"Is there something wrong with your lady?"

"You'll know when you go."

Guessing that this might have something to do with Li Yan, Yan Sanbai followed her.Through a street, into a small building.

Walking through the narrow stairs to the second floor, the girl hid her smile and opened the curtain for him, Yan Sanbai finally saw the girl Lingyu.

She was standing by the window, when she heard the voice turning her head back, Yan Sanbai couldn't help but marvel at the aura of turning her head back.

She has perfect eyebrows, generous and elegant, and the most rare thing is that her eyes are so clear that there is no trace of romance.

"Mr. Yan, I take the liberty to invite you here, but I will accompany you here first." Lingyu's voice is also very pleasant, gentle and polite.

Of course Yan Sanbai returned the salute, "Girl, you don't need to be too polite."

Lingyu smiled, asked Yan Sanbai to sit down, and asked the girl to bring the good tea, took it in person and placed it in front of Yan Sanbai, serving as an honored guest gift.

Yan Sanbai was not in a hurry to drink tea, he was always vigilant when beauties were courteous, "Miss, please come down, what's the matter?"

But Lingyu was stopped by the question, and sat down opposite Yan Sanbai with a little shyness, "I... I want to ask the young master to do Lingyu a little favor."

"What are you busy with?"

"I think..." Lingyu lowered her head, a blush appeared on her face, she was ashamed to speak.

"Oh." The girl couldn't stand it anymore, and said: "My lady wants you to find a chance to bring the prince here. I haven't seen you for a few years. My lady misses the prince very much. Who knows that he will come to see him when he comes back. We here It's not easy to come to the door with a normal identity..."

"Aqiao!" Lingyu let out a low cry, her face flushed so much that water dripped out.

A Qiao stuck out her tongue, and stopped talking, anyway, she had already finished talking.

Yan Sanbai was silent for a moment, before he said: "May I ask, Miss Lingyu, what is your relationship with the prince...?"

Lingyu shook her head hastily, and explained nervously, "My lord, don't misunderstand, the little girl and the prince are not what you imagined, it's just...it's just that I secretly admire them."

"Where is it secretly, who in Qinhuai in the ten miles doesn't know that Miss, you guard yourself like a jade for the sake of the prince..."

"Ah Qiao!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything." Ah Qiao said so, but she was not convinced in her heart, and said again: "But if you don't say anything, the prince will marry a wife in the future, let alone talk about it."

Hearing this, Lingyu's words of restraint were also stuck in her throat, and a trace of sadness flashed across her expression.But soon she seemed to have convinced herself, and she smiled again, "The prince always wants to marry a wife, how dare Lingyu have any unreasonable thoughts. Mr. Yan, you don't have to make things difficult, just pass on a message for me." Just talk, as for the result, everything depends on the destiny."

Yan Sanbai suddenly.

It's not that Li Yan has such a beautiful woman to admire, which makes him unhappy.It was Lingyu's words that reminded him of the fact that he had ignored - Li Yan would always get married in the future.

If it wasn't a girl from the Xie family, it might be the daughter of a certain state's family.

And he is a man of the rivers and lakes, destined to wander all his life, this encounter is just a very short period of time in a person's life.

Thinking about it this way, it's completely unreasonable for me to be so entangled these days.

Because the problem itself is inherently unsolvable.This unsolvable is not that there is no answer, but that there is no need to answer at all.

"Mr. Yan, what's wrong with you?" Ling Yu looked at Yan Sanbai's sudden change of expression, and asked worriedly, "Did I say something wrong?"

"I'm sorry, I thought of something else." Yan Sanbai said, and suddenly asked: "Miss, can you tell me... what kind of expression is there?"

Lingyu froze for a moment, looked at Aqiao, and said, "It's hard to say, little girl, just, just watching...it's very sad."

That's really sad.

At least Lingyu thinks so.

She had heard the story of the hero Tan Yan Sanbai, and she was also yearning for it.When I saw her today, I felt that he was much better than in the story, he was gentle and polite to others, and there was no contempt or frivolity in the way he looked at her.

This is a real gentleman, she thought, no wonder he is so close to the prince.

What kind of thing made him show that expression?Lingyu didn't know.

In fact, the expression was very light, without frowning or downcast, but Lingyu still felt that sadness.

However, at this time, the corners of Yan Sanbai's mouth slowly curved into an arc, that smile rippled like a flower in the moon water in the mirror, it was still very shallow, but it quietly overshadowed the sadness, as if there was a kind of The power of comfort.

"Miss, I will bring you what I said. However, although there is only one Li Yan in the world, there is only one Lingyu. Miss, don't underestimate yourself."

Lingyu's heart warmed up, "Mr. Cheng's auspicious words."

After bidding farewell to Lingyu and stepping out of the small building, Yan Sanbai was once again on the bustling street.

However, the carriages passing by at this time had nothing to do with him, nor did the pedestrians talking and laughing.A long-lost loneliness, like the wind passing through the old city, blows a strand of hair scattered on his forehead.

Su Mei said that even if she is suffering to death, she should face it with a smile.Because laughing is better than crying, so that you don't look how embarrassed you are.Besides, you have been dead for so many years, you always have to smile more, otherwise you will be blinded by such a beautiful face.

So many years later, there was a gentle and smiling Yan Sanbai in the world.Today's Yan Sanbai is also smiling as always, that smile is very shallow, gradually blurred in the bright sunlight.

Then blurred.

He stepped into the crowd, walking slowly.

Seeing all kinds of people pass by him, and then suddenly met a familiar figure.

Under the scorching sun, the man was holding an umbrella, with long black hair hanging over his shoulders, following the crowd.

"Brother Ying." Yan Sanbai called him, but he didn't seem to hear it.
