Maung-mei is wrong

What made Zhuo Yingxian feel awkward at first was Guan Pingye's name for Wang Xing.

It is not a new thing for the master to change the name of his servants, but it is not too many to give such poetic and picturesque flavor to the servant boy, especially Guan Pingye, who knows Nie Yunhan's word "Xingli", even named his book boy "Wang" Star", which is intriguing.

Just because of his name, he had such doubts, which seemed a bit suspicious and trouble-free, but after Zhuo Yingxian took a closer look at Wang Xing, he found that his profile was somewhat similar to Nie Yunhan, so his doubts deepened.

Later, he asked Wang Xing a few questions, which were indeed probing, because Wang Xing's admiration for Guan Pingye could no longer be concealed, no matter whether the child had broken sleeves or not, his feelings were already full to the extreme.

And through Wang Xing's answer, Zhuo Yingxian felt that Guan Pingye clearly carved Wang Xing into Nie Yunhan's appearance.

For example, let him be upright and more masculine, and don't want him to obey his promises-that kind of appearance, coupled with the character Guan Hirano expects, is no different from the silly old man in front of me.

Therefore, Zhuo Yingxian felt that rather than Guan Pingye's sudden outburst of kindness to rescue Wang Xing, he found a substitute for himself. From a selfish point of view, as long as he can satisfy his inner desires, it is acceptable to get into trouble of.

This idea seems to be some malicious speculation, but just now Nie Yunhan also pointed out that Guan Pingye's saving people like this is not in line with his character, Zhuo Yingxian thinks it makes sense.

Even if Nie Yunhan feels that Guan Pingye is suspicious of him now, this possibility cannot be ruled out.

Sometimes, liking someone and distrusting someone are not contradictory.

Likes come from emotions, and distrust comes from rational thinking. In the relationship between Guan Pingye and Nie Yunhan, the interaction of these two thoughts will make Guan Pingye's emotions more complicated.

That's why he brought back a person who looked very much like Nie Yunhan when he was younger, making him feel that the relationship between the two was pure and nothing had changed.

But these were all his own guesses and suspicions, and they were of no help in tracking down Guan Pingye's whereabouts. Zhuo Yingxian had no intention of telling Nie Yunhan.

It's just that in his heart, his impression of Guan Pingye has changed a little. He feels that Nie Yunhan, his foster brother, is indeed smart, but other than that, he is unavoidably deep-minded, and Nie Yunhan may not have seen this side.

Zhuo Yingxian didn't think there was any problem with this, and there was nothing wrong with having a deep mind. Moreover, in Guan Pingye's current situation, he should use more scheming to protect himself.

Finding out that Guan Pingye liked Nie Yunhan didn't make Zhuo Yingxian very upset. At first, he was a little concerned, so when he asked Wang Xing, he was a little emotional, but soon he thought about it.

A person like Nie Yunhan is born to give people a sense of reliability, besides, he is handsome, smart, and righteous. I have only been with him for a few months, and I already like him so much. What's more, Guan Pingye grew up with him .If this person happened to like men, it would be perfectly normal for him to develop affection for Nie Yunhan.

What made Zhuo Yingxian a little jealous was the time when Nie Yunhan and Guan Pingye grew up together, which he could never get back no matter how hard he chased him.

Especially seeing the portrait of Nie Yunhan drawn by Guan Pingye himself, every stroke is full of affection, as if a little ant is biting Zhuo Yingxian's heart, stinging and itching.

The current Nie Yunhan is naturally perfect, but Zhuo Yingxian also wants to see him when he was a child, growing up carefree under the love of his parents, he must be as cute as a little dumpling; he also wants to see him when he was young It seems that he likes to pretend to be old-fashioned and protect the people around him; he wants to take care of him after he returns from the expedition, and celebrate with him after he has been sealed to a hundred households...

Zhuo Yingxian wanted to leave his mark on every moment of Nie Yunhan's life, but counting down from now on, it all belonged to Guan Pingye.

Time is so helpless.

After thinking about it, he also felt that he was a little greedy, insisting on forcing things that cannot be forced, it was really not like himself.

Zhuo Yingxian thought secretly, forget it, anyway, Brother Han will be mine in the future, I am also good at Danqing, and I can also paint for him, what's the difficulty?

Nie Yunhan didn't know what Zhuo Yingxian was thinking about, and he also sensed that he had something on his mind. After asking several times, but the other party refused to tell, he didn't ask any more questions.

For those who don't have their own little emotions, it is always bad to ask too much, and it will make people feel suffocated.

The two rushed back to the inn, ate something in a hurry, and called Xiaoer to fetch water, scrubbed the sand off their bodies, and then fell asleep.

This night they had exhausted a lot of energy, they were exhausted, and they slept all day long. Fortunately, they had told Xiao Eryou to knock on the door in advance, and they woke up from the dreamland.

Seeing that Zhuo Ying was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, Nie Yunhan wanted to let him sleep a little longer. After he got dressed and fixed his beard in front of the mirror, he dipped a handkerchief in cold water and wiped his face before putting him in bed. pull up.

"I'll do it myself..." Zhuo Yingxian groaned and stretched out his hands to take the handkerchief with his eyes closed.

Nie Yunhan hugged him with one arm and wiped his face with the other: "It's nothing, just wake up again."

After helping him wipe his face, Nie Yunhan put on his outer robe again, and Zhuo Yingxian finally woke up and dozed off when he put on the belt.

The two of them didn't loosen their buns before, so they tidied up their clothes and went out. They went to the food stall outside Yunlai Inn to meet other people at the end of You Shi.

Wan Lifeng was wearing a short veiled hat, and he and Dai Yansheng were already sitting at a table in the food stall. When Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Ying were free, they sat at the table next to them.

The two ordered wontons, noodle soup and a plate of beef, and before eating two bites, Zuo Hengqiu and Xiang Yushu also came over.

It just so happened that the food stall was full, so Zuo Hengqiu approached Nie Yunhan and asked with a smile, "Brother, there is no empty table, how about we make a table together?"

Nie Yunhan said politely, "Brother, whatever you want."

Xiang Yushu sat beside Nie Yunhan, looked around furtively, and asked in a low voice: "Brother Han, have you found Brother Hirano?"

"One step too late, he was taken away on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year." Nie Yunhan took a sip of the noodle soup and said in a low voice, "What about you?"

Ever since they knew that Haqin was coming back to the Liang Mansion, and speculated that they got the golden red sand to refine pearl iron, everyone basically expected that something might happen to Guan Pingye, and they were not surprised.

Anyway, nothing went well along the way, and they were already ready to face the challenge.

"Brother Zuo and I walked around last night, but we didn't find anyone following us. We went to the market again today to look around, and we didn't see anyone suspicious." Xiang Yushu said, looking straight at The plate of beef that Nie Yunhan ordered on the table drools.

Nie Yunhan pushed the beef towards Zhuo Yingxian: "Axian, this sauced beef is good, you should eat more."

Seeing Xiang Yu Shu's embarrassing appearance, Zhuo Yingxian couldn't help laughing, and wanted to make him want to, but he was concerned that they were pretending to be strangers, so it was not good to share food with him.

Zuo Hengqiu smacked his lips in disgust, and said to Xiang Yu Shu: "You child, have you never eaten meat? You really are a half-grown child eating me to death. Boss, I want a sauced beef, and two taels for Liang Daqu. I have been hungry for this for a long time!"

The lady proprietress was busy at the stall, and responded crisply: "Okay, sir, please wait a moment!"

Dai Yansheng moved the bench back, stood shoulder to shoulder with Nie Yunhan, and said in a low voice, "Feng'er and I searched around for Haqin's whereabouts, but we haven't found anything yet. Let's look around again tonight."

Nie Yunhan held a bowl of soup and said softly: "It's okay, we've already chased here, they will always show up. I think it's not interesting to catch mice in the dark, and it will delay things. If we can't find any clues , release the title of 'Young Master Yunxian', if Haqin finds out, he will always take action."

Dai Yansheng nodded, and sat back down. Nie Yunhan also leaned back to his table.

Zhuo Yingxian finished eating the wontons, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief slowly, and asked, "How do you want to put the name 'Mr. Yunxian'?"

"See if there is a suitable venue and rent it out, and say that 'Young Master Yunxian' will perform here." Nie Yunhan smiled flatteringly at him, "If you don't want to perform, then let Yu Shu do it, sword weapon As for dancing, he can bluff people just by learning a few times with a knife."

Xiang Yu Shu stared like eggs: "I can't dance!"

Zhuo Yingxian frowned slightly, trying not to show disgust, so as not to hurt Xiang Yu Shu's self-esteem: "Yu Shu...it's not impossible, it's just that his limbs are too stiff, I'm afraid it will mess up. "

Xiang Yushu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, it will definitely mess up!"

"If you screw it up, screw it up." Nie Yunhan gave him an unexpected look, "You still can't bear the title 'Mr. Yunxian'? I thought you didn't like that."

Zhuo Yingxian had nothing else to say, in fact he didn't care much about it, he just felt that he was lower back and hips open, and that the "famous name" he earned in Wulingdu after a lot of effort, just fell on him like this. Here, there is a little extravagance.

But for their ultimate goal, this is not a sacrifice at all. Even the name was created in the first place to find clues, and it was really appropriate to lure Haqin's subordinates to appear.

"If you don't like it, let's do it like this." Zhuo Yingxian felt that his pretentiousness just now was really ridiculous, so he quickly changed his words.

Xiang Yushu suddenly felt that the sauced beef he was chewing was tasteless, and he said: "Brother Xian, are you really not going to insist anymore? Why do you listen to what Brother Han says..."

Zhuo Yingxian said straightforwardly: "He's right, of course we should listen."

"Haqin knows that Mr. Yun Xian is Brother Xian, if you still want to do this, if he really appears, wouldn't it be tantamount to throwing himself into a trap?" Xiang Yushu said suddenly, looking at Nie Yunhan expectantly, "He won't Are you so stupid?"

Nie Yunhan smiled: "Your brain, which you haven't used for many years, has been enlightened today? Of course Haqin is not stupid, but he has no choice. Who made him want to kill us? If they use Hirano as bait now, Or use your brother and master as bait to lure us to appear, will you go?"

Xiang Yu Shu immediately said: "Of course!"

Zhuo Yingxian rolled his eyes at him: "That's what Brother Han means. Once the name 'Mr. Yunxian' is released, others may not take it seriously, but Haqin will know that we have arrived. He will naturally understand that we are putting bait, Either he will directly send people to assassinate, or he will also put bait to lure us to show up. In the former way, he is passive, and in the latter way, he is in an active position, so I guess, he should choose the latter way ..."

"Ah! I understand!" Xiang Yu Shu interrupted excitedly, and felt that he seemed to be a little carried away. He glanced around cautiously, and when no one noticed him, he said in a low voice, "The bait that Ha Qin can release , it must be the news from Brother Hirano or Daoist Yun Xuzi, this will save us the trouble of tracking down!"

Nie Yunhan looked at him, full of smiles, and looked at Zuo Hengqiu: "Brother Zuo, did you give him the smart medicine? He improved so much overnight."

"I don't dare to be greedy for this." Zuo Hengqiu smiled, and took a sip of his wine, "However, if Ha Qin's bait is sincere, then he is determined to win us. It's not easy for everyone to get out of it!"

"You shouldn't trust the clues that come to your door. Of course, you can't rely on him alone. This time is just a test." Nie Yunhan said slowly, and suddenly remembered something, "Brother Zuo, if you have time, you might as well go and find out about Gui Liang's residence. No blacksmith is missing, it is best to find out the name and details of the person."

Zuo Hengqiu raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Do you think Haqin will use this method to rob people? If there are too many missing people, isn't he afraid that he will cause the authorities to alert?"

"In theory, he shouldn't do this, but craftsmen like blacksmiths are not allowed to move around at will. If they want to refine pearl iron and forge various organs, such manpower is indispensable, so a few people were tied up to fill the gap. As a teaching teacher, it can be justified." Nie Yunhan said, "Besides, when I questioned everyone in the bookstore last night, I heard the waiter in the shop mutter that there have been many disappearance cases in the Liang Manor recently, so I want you to investigate."

Zhuo Yingxian didn't remember the waiter from the shop said that, but when he thought that he was secretly looking at the pictures of the secret play, he blushed and didn't dare to interrupt.

Zuo Hengqiu smoked a pipe and puffed out a puff of white smoke, and said lightly: "Well, I understand, this matter is not difficult, I will reply to you as soon as possible."

Nie Yunhan said in a low voice: "Okay, that's it for today, and we'll meet again tomorrow. But since we intend to lure Haqin, we don't need to hide our identities anymore. In order to prevent being wiped out, we will stay in these three inns for the time being. If there is a change, just leave a mark along the way. In addition, we must beware of that so-and-so B coming to hinder our actions, everyone should be careful everywhere and take care. A Xian, let's go."

Zhuo Yingxian followed him and got up to leave. After a while, Dai Yansheng and Wan Lifeng also left, looked around Yu Shu, saw that the night was getting dark and no one noticed him, so he took the plate that Nie Yunhan and the others hadn't finished eating. The sauced beef was pulled in front of him.

Zuo Hengqiu slapped him on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile: "Is it okay to be a little promising? One plate is not enough for you?"

"I'm still growing, it's not good to be hungry and full." Xiang Yu Shu didn't care, "I have to eat more while I have it."

"Are you still tall? No matter how long you are, there will be no room for you in the house."

"Then I'll build a taller house." Xiang Yu Shu was salty and the soup in the bowl had bottomed out, so he grabbed Zuo Hengqiu's wine glass and took a sip, his throat was irritated by Gui Liang Daqu, " "Puchi" spewed out the wine, fortunately, he coughed and his face was flushed.

Zuo Hengqiu laughed loudly, and slapped him hard on the back: "This wine is so strong, I drank it without seeing me, how dare you drink it? You deserve it!"

Seeing this, the proprietress quickly scooped up a bowl of water and handed it over: "Little Lang, drink some water and press it."

Xiang Yu Shu quickly picked up the water and drank it, only to feel a little more comfortable in his throat, he was not convinced, he picked up the wine glass again, took a sip carefully, squinted his eyes from the heat, but still bravely said: "Perhaps Well, I just drank too fast and choked on it!"

"Then take it easy on your own." Zuo Hengqiu saw through it without saying anything, "It's getting dark, I'll go to the government office to inquire about the missing person. How about a sword dance performance?"

Xiang Yushu blushed first: "Brother Zuo, Zuo, do you want me to go alone to those places of love and moon?"

Zuo Hengqiu knocked on his forehead, and said with a smirk: "Good idea! You don't need to go there, this Yuanke Avenue is the most prosperous place in Guiliangfu City, you can go to some bigger restaurants and teahouses and ask .Didn’t you go to that ‘Stork Tower’ with A Xian last time at Wulingdu to listen to the music? Didn’t you just forget it?”

"Oh, then I'll go for a walk." Xiang Yu Shu said embarrassingly, covering his forehead.

Zuo Hengqiu settled the bill, left some money for Xiang Yu Shu, then left in a hurry and disappeared into the night.

Xiang Yu Shu was full and a little tipsy from drinking, so he strolled slowly along the Yuanke Avenue, looking at this scene of feasting and debauchery, he didn't know whether it was because of his idleness or because of his drunkenness, he felt very happy for no reason.

There are many restaurants and inns on Yuanke Avenue. The first one he met was Daqinglou. He went in and found the shopkeeper. He clumsily expressed the intention of "Mr. Yunxian" to perform here, but was coldly pushed away by the other party. refuse.

The shopkeeper was so busy welcoming and sending him off that he didn't have time to talk to him, saying that he had never heard of a name like "Mr. Yunxian", and besides, the performances in Daqing Building were all full this month, so there was no room for him. Kung fu, let him find another place.

Coming out of the Daqing Building, Xiang Yu Shu is like an eggplant beaten by frost, all the joy and encouragement just now has disappeared.He walked forward dejectedly, his mind blank.

He grew up in the countryside and didn't quite adapt to life in the city. Although he is skilled in martial arts, he is always a little slow in dealing with people.The more this is the case, the more inferior I feel in this aspect. As time goes by, I am even more reluctant to interact with strangers, especially those who live in the city, thinking that they are all snobbish and will look down on me.

But finding a performance venue for "Young Master Yunxian" this time is one of the tasks, and Xiang Yushu feels that he can't escape, everyone treats him so well, he must shoulder his own responsibilities, and can't hold everyone back.

Thinking of this, he secretly cheered himself up again, thinking about his excuse to go to the next one, and accidentally passed by Canghailou, the largest restaurant on Yuanke Avenue, without paying attention.

After he walked a few feet away, he heard the voice of a woman calling for help: "Help! Help! Uuuh—"

When Xiang Yu Shu heard the sound, he judged that it was coming from the alley next to him, so he rushed over, and saw three black shadows entangled together in the dark alley, the one whose mouth was covered should be the one who called for help just now woman.

The two thieves were very arrogant, and one of them said with a lewd/smiling smile: "Little lady, you scream, the more you scream, the more exciting we feel."

The other pinched the woman's face with one hand, and pressed her against the wall with the other: "Tsk tsk tsk, this face is quite slippery, I have already taken a fancy to you, I finally got free today, so I have to enjoy it! "

"Stop!" Xiang Yu Shu just had a red boa's instinct, and instead of rushing up immediately, he quietly climbed up the wall and sneaked around them under the cover of night. Without pulling out the knife, he jumped directly from the wall.

Those two people still thought that two against one had a chance of winning, so they rushed forward, but after only three or five moves, they were knocked down by Xiang Yu Shu and ran away like hell.

The woman hid in the corner trembling and weeping in a low voice, Xiang Yu Shu couldn't go over to help her, so he stood a meter away and made a bow to her: "Girl, I don't know how your injury is, but it's not suitable to stay here for long. If you can trust me, leave this alley with me. I will go ahead and you will follow behind, what do you think?"

The woman hesitated for a moment before saying: "Thank you, my lord..."

Xiang Yu Shuben was a little worried that if someone bumped into her at this time, it would ruin the girl's reputation. Hearing what she said, he breathed a sigh of relief and strode forward.

After walking a certain distance, he looked back and saw the thin figure slowly following two feet away, and his movements were not stagnant, so he was finally relieved.

Lanterns are hung at the entrances of all the shops on Yuanke Avenue. In addition, when the sun is shining and the moon is bright, the road is full of clear light, which is much brighter than the alley.

After the two walked out of the alley, they turned around to Yu Shu, didn't dare to look directly at the girl's face, just bowed respectfully: "We're on the main road, girl, go home quickly, pay more attention to safety on the road, and I will take my leave."

Unexpectedly, when he turned to leave, the other party suddenly said, "It's you? I... I know you!"
