The loyal minister was forced to marry the traitor

In the middle of the night, Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin planned to have a light sleep at an inn near Bafu.

There are few rooms in the inn, there is only one upper room, the two simply slept together, the bed was not wide enough, the two were close to each other, only insects were chirping outside, but Bai Yan didn't feel sleepy.

Xiao Jiuqin didn't fall asleep either. Today, Bai Yan has been sluggish, and he was afraid that this guy would have accumulated depression.

He went down to light the candle, and when he turned his head, Bai Yan's eyes were dark.

Probably because the candles were not bright enough, the quilt covered the lower abdomen, and Bai Yan put his hand on the side of his face, feeling a little more lonely for no reason.

"If you can't sleep, get up and sit down." Xiao Jiuqin poured him a cup of tea, and Bai Yan shook his head, "I don't want to drink."

"Still thinking about that?" Xiao Jiuqin sat beside Bai Yan and held his hand naturally, "Actually, some things are far less complicated than you imagined. The Yun family is so powerful that the entire court has something to do with him." There are a lot of people involved.”

"No one can be alone. In this world, people are separated from others, and in the end they can only make the road narrower and narrower." Xiao Jiuqin looked at him seriously, "And you don't have to think that it is because of you that you are here today. situation."

"I can't figure it out." Bai Yan raised his eyes, "Master Ba, that Sasao, Zhang Yun, Grand Master's Mansion... and that letter, which one is the cause and which is the effect?"

Bai Yan thought about it for half the night, but his mind was still in a mess. Regardless of his merits or demerits, Mr. Ba was wiped out. Who is behind this operation? He urgently needs to unravel all the key points.

"I only know that no matter which is the cause and which is the effect, you are in danger now." Xiao Jiuqin leaned closer and kissed his lips, trying to wipe away the complicated mess in Bai Yan's mind.

In the quiet night, with the dim lights in the room, Bai Yan rarely felt a sense of powerlessness. He grabbed Xiao Jiuqin's skirt, and took the initiative to fight back for the first time.

Xiao Jiuqin was stunned for a moment, then his strength increased, and he almost wanted to lock him into his arms.

After a long time, the two separated, Bai Yan rested his head on Xiao Jiuqin's neck, panting lightly, "I'll be fine."

Xiao Jiuqin didn't speak.

"Can you seal the secret passage leading to the Grand Master's Mansion?" Bai Yan said in a gruff voice.

"Are you afraid of scaring the snake?"

"Yeah." Bai Yan abandoned other things at this moment, and put all his thoughts on the matter of the secret passage, and couldn't help thinking about it. He frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said, "You find a way to make the secret passage The matter is under pressure," paused and said again, "If the person in the palace wants to ask, you can tell me other things, but let's keep the one from the Grand Master's Mansion a secret."

"why?"

Bai Yan didn't know what to say, so he asked after a while, "Do you believe in your intuition?"

Xiao Jiuqin shook his head, "I don't believe it."

Just as Bai Yan was about to speak, Xiao Jiuqin said again, "I don't believe my intuition, but I believe yours."

Bai Yan; "..."

"I didn't mean to please you." Xiao Jiuqin even felt a little ridiculous to himself, but the fact is that he did completely trust Bai Yan.

"I asked you to hide it because I wanted to hide it from the one in the palace. As for the others, you should work harder these few days and send someone you can trust to guard that secret passage." Bai Yan rubbed his brows, and suddenly Feeling agitated, "Why can't we live in peace for a few days?"

It's not that he's tired of ordinary things, he just thinks that Xiao Jiuqin has been fighting abroad for many years, and finally came back victorious, but it's one thing after another.

"Compared to the troubled times, this is already very good." Xiao Jiuqin put the person flat and lay on his side, the two of them were breathing intertwined, charming and ambiguous.

Bai Yan felt weird and wanted to turn his back on him, but Xiao Jiuqin refused and locked her in his arms.

Bai Yan struggled, "Hot..."

Xiao Jiuqin's expression changed, "Don't move."

Bai Yan: "?"

He was inexplicable one second, and froze the next second, "Why do you..."

That place was too obvious, Bai Yan neither moved nor remained, his eyes flicked randomly, but he didn't look at Xiao Jiuqin's face.

Xiao Jiuqin's throat moved, and his eyes were fixed on Bai Yan, "I have been vegetarian for many years, and most of them are self-reliant. If I didn't react like this, there must be something wrong."

He was also afraid of scaring Bai Yan, but how to say this matter, it is always impossible to control it with reason, not only that, he also felt more and more "excited".

"You...you should restrain yourself..." Bai Yan's voice was trembling, the distance between the two of them was too close, and the bed was not big enough for two people to sleep, as long as you moved a little, you could feel it keenly, clearly Both of them have reached the crown, but the two of them have never even touched the girl's hand.

Xiao Jiuqin was pushed down by Bai Yan, and she felt a little wronged, "This...you are in front of me, how can you bear it..."

Bai Yan almost lost his breath, he covered Xiao Jiuqin's mouth, "Master Hou, restrain yourself."

Her mouth was covered, but her eyes were still rolling, Xiao Jiuqin looked straight at Bai Yan, like a little lady who was taken over by a bully, Bai Yan choked again thinking of this.

"I..." Bai Yan didn't know what he was going to say, his lips trembled, and finally he leaned in and bit the tip of Xiao Jiuqin's nose hard.

Xiao Jiuqin: "..." Ancestor, what do you belong to? !

This bite was a bit harsh.

The next day, Bai Yan stared at Xiao Jiuqin's nose, feeling a little guilty.

Such an obvious tooth mark, anyone who sees it will take a second look, even Bai Yan himself glances at Xiao Jiuqin's face from time to time.

Seeing the end, Xiao Jiuqin couldn't laugh or cry, "I always want to forget this, but you look at it now and then, don't you just remind me?"

"Oh...then I won't read it." Bai Yan glanced again after speaking, deceiving himself, "Fortunately, it's not obvious."

Just after finishing speaking, He Zhaoyuan and Yan Ruli came over. They didn't know whether it was because they had sharp eyes or Bai Yan's bite was too hard. They both said in unison, "Master Hou, your nose is..."

"Ahem, why do you care so much?" Bai Yan tried to remind the two of them not to ask, but He Zhaoyuan was obviously ignorant. After a while, he approached Xiao Jiuqin and asked, "Master Hou, where did you find it?" Dear Lady Lie, this bite is really strong!"

"He." Xiao Jiuqin raised his eyebrows and pointed in one direction.

He Zhaoyuan looked over excitedly, but saw Bai Yan standing not far away.

He opened his mouth, "Ah... this, it's Bai, Mr. Bai..."

As if some big secret had been discovered suddenly, He Zhaoyuan was dizzy, and after a long time passed, he slowly groped to Yan Ruli, and asked in a low voice, "Master Bai and Lord Xiao Hou, they..."

"What?" Yan Ruli walked along the unburned wall of Bafu, looking for any clues, and didn't pay much attention to He Zhaoyuan's question.

He Zhaoyuan didn't know anything, and continued to ask, "Master Bai and Lord Xiao Hou had a close relationship in the past?"

"Ah."

"They grew up together?"

"Ah."

"The relationship between the two is extremely, unusual?"

"Ah."

"Then... are they broken sleeves?"

"Ah."

He Zhaoyuan's eyes widened, so it wasn't because I was thinking too much!

On one side of his brain, he was scorched inside and tender on the outside, while Yan Ruli squatted down suddenly on the other side, twisting a piece of rag the size of a fingernail with his fingers.It rained last night, and the rag was kneaded in the mud, which at first glance was almost the same color as the mud.

"What is this?" He Zhaoyuan approached, and immediately forgot to ask about Bai Yan and Xiao Jiuqin.

"This wall is shorter and remote. The servants generally seldom come here, and this material is definitely not worn by servants."

Yan Ruli had transported cloth goods to the southwest before he became an official, and he also had several cloth houses, so he knew a lot about cloth, "The young masters in Mr. Ba's house are still young, and it is impossible for them to come here to play, so the biggest Could be the murderer."

"Look again, there seems to be gunpowder residue." He Zhaoyuan stretched out his hand and rubbed a little bit of wet soil, "Last night's rain was fortunately not heavy, otherwise these traces would have disappeared long ago, and it would be difficult to check at night. Just ignore it."

The two called Bai Yan and the others to come over. Bai Yan looked around and suddenly asked Jin Yiwei beside him, "What's outside this wall?"

"The house of Xing Yue, the leader of the Jinwu Guard."

"Xing Yue?" Bai Yan was slightly startled.

"Yes, it was originally bought by a Hu businessman a year ago, but for some reason they moved away one day, and Lord Xing moved in soon after."

"Ah, I remembered. A few days ago, my subordinates passed by Mr. Xing's mansion, and saw that the servants in his mansion seemed to be busy moving something." Another person said.

After hearing this, Bai Yan went out, Xiao Jiuqin followed, Yan Ruli and He Zhaoyuan looked at each other, and followed behind them.

Xing Yue's house is not small, Bai Yan asked someone to knock on the door, and it took a long time for someone to open the door.

"Who?"

Jin Yiwei took out his badge, "Jin Yiwei handles the case."

The face of the person who opened the door changed slightly, but he still bite the bullet and said, "My lords, why did the investigation come here? My lord is the leader of the Jinwu Guard. If you want to investigate, you should ask my lords first."

"Jin Yiwei handles the case, officials below the third rank are not allowed to intervene, what rank is your lord living in now?" Bai Yan was impatient, the man froze, hesitated for a while or stepped aside.

Bai Yan and the others went in, and Jin Yiwei went directly to the main courtyard.

The person who opened the door looked at the surroundings, and quickly ordered a young man to report to Xing Yue, but he was grabbed by He Zhaoyuan before he stepped on the steps, "Where are you going?"

"Little one, go out and buy something, the house doesn't have enough rice." The servant was trembling, He Zhaoyuan chuckled, and threw him back, "Go down and ask."

The boy was pushed down in front of people, and the person who opened the door was terrified, and they just pretended not to see it.

"My lord, there is something in the backyard." A Jin Yiwei came over, Bai Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, and went with Xiao Jiuqin and the others.

This house is really not small, the rockery is connected to the lake, and there are two pavilions, the tiles on the promenade are green and black, it seems that they are not ordinary green tiles.

"Xing Yue is a good guy!" He Zhaoyuan joked.

Xiao Jiuqin withdrew his gaze, "I'm afraid it's not oil and water, but something terrible in exchange."

"Whose life?" Yan Ruli asked knowingly.

Bai Yan glanced at him, "Of course it's someone else's fate." He ran his fingers across the railing of the corridor, "There are too many people who can get in touch with him, the more he is, the more no one pays attention."

As he spoke, he arrived at the backyard, surrounded by several Jinyi guards around a room that looked like a woodshed, with three or two servants kneeling on the ground.

"My lord, although the contents inside have been emptied, there are still some residues of gunpowder that have not been cleaned up. These people are sneaky. When they saw the subordinates waiting, they secretly ran to the back door to report."

"Send a letter to others to bring Xing Yue to justice."

"Yes!" Jin Yiwei left in a hurry.
