"Mr. Li's letter?"
In the study, Yan Ziye received the notification and felt confused. The mysterious woman who had always been calm and composed that day in the prisoner of war camp unconsciously appeared in his mind.
"Let him in."
Yan Ziye waved his hand. He did not have a close relationship with Mr. Li. This letter came suddenly. He also wanted to know what medicine the woman was selling in her gourd.
Not long after, Yin Xu walked into the study and saw Yan Ziye. He couldn't help but be surprised. Isn't this the deputy general he saw in the prisoner of war camp that day
Yan Ziye only felt that the person who came was somewhat familiar. After thinking about it for a while, he remembered that this was one of the prisoners of war brought back by Mr. Li, wasn't he? !
Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for half a month, this person's energy and spirit were completely different, and he didn't have the slightest aura of coming from a prisoner of war camp.
"Mr. Li's method of training people is really superb..."
Yan Ziye couldn't help but admire, but Yin Xu looked angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but retort: "Young master is wrong, we have not received any training in Linliju, everything is of our own free will. Just as the teacher taught us, we must show respect to You can only change your own destiny by yourself, sir, he just gave us a chance."
Before he finished speaking, the maid standing next to Yan Ziye immediately scolded in a sweet voice: "How presumptuous! You are a servant who delivers a message, how can you have a place to talk here? Kneel down and apologize!"
Yin Xu's eyelids twitched, showing a bit of fear in his eyes, but he never knelt down. Instead, he looked at the maid who was scolding him, his eyes unflinching, even with a hint of stubbornness.
The maid immediately became angry and was about to call someone, but Yan Ziye waved his hand and said with a smile: "Ling'er, please step back."
"Master!"
The maid felt aggrieved and couldn't help stamping her feet, but in the end she didn't dare to go against Yan Ziye's wishes and left with a look of hatred on her face.
Yin Xu felt uncomfortable. If Yan Ziye hadn't spoken, he would have been kicked out by the Yan family and even beaten severely. But even if he knew the result, he didn't want to lose his self-esteem.
Yan Ziye looked at Yin Xu with admiration. Although in his opinion Yin Xu's impulse was worthless, not everyone had such courage.
There were only two people left in the room, and Yin Xu also remembered the business and quickly placed the unwrinkled envelope gently on the table.
Yan Ziye took it over and opened it. There was only a thin piece of letter paper inside, and there was only one line of words on the letter.
"Mr. Yan, I still remember the friendship of helping each other in the prisoner of war camp in Linliju. I wonder if Mr. Yan can reward me and come to Linliju tomorrow night to drink sweet-scented osmanthus wine with the little girl?"
This is just an invitation letter!
Yan Ziye was confused and felt more and more that "Mr. Li"'s thoughts were unpredictable.
However, he has nothing to do at the moment, and Liliju is not a dragon's pond and a tiger's den, so he might as well go and have a look.
Thinking of this, Yan Ziye nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Your name is Yin Xu, right? Go back and tell your master that I will definitely come to visit you tomorrow night!"
After receiving the reply, Yin Xu's face was filled with joy, and he quickly lowered his head and nodded: "My husband, I will definitely sweep the bed and wait for you tomorrow."
Watching Yin Xu leave, Yan Ziye had a bit of envy in his eyes. If Mr. Li's new servants were so smart, why didn't he have any talent around him
Suddenly, Yan Ziye remembered something again, his face turned slightly bitter, and he fell into deep thought.
For two consecutive days, Linliju was calm and calm, with no accidents happening. Fang Yuan and Qu Qingning both smelled an unusual aura.
The Jin family is in the dark, they are in the open, and the situation is very unfriendly to them.
When Su Li got the news, her eyes flickered and she didn't say anything. Fang Yuan also consciously didn't ask any more questions.
That night, Yan Ziye, dressed in casual clothes, came to Linli Residence alone and was immediately welcomed to the top floor.
The Lili residence is in the shape of a tower, with only one room on the top floor. It is quite spacious, but the layout is much more chic and elegant than the one downstairs. Yan Ziye stood outside the door, looking at Su Li who was standing by the window with her back to him, and couldn't help but smile:
"Mr. Li is so elegant. Watching the moon from a high building must be a special experience. It's just that the Lantern Festival has passed and today's moon is a new moon."
Su Li turned around. She was not wearing a hat, but was covered with a veil. Her black hair was inserted into a green hairpin, which complemented the simple decoration in the room and was extremely refreshing.
"Master Yan, you are really on time."
With a compliment, Su Li chuckled under her veil, stepped lightly, sat opposite Yan Ziye, and poured him a cup of sweet-scented osmanthus brew.
Yan Ziye smiled slightly, picked it up and took a sip, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he sighed: "I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and I am not a greedy person. But I have also drank a lot of wine, but none of it lasted as long as Mr. Li's. Gentle, like a beautiful woman from a water town in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Young Master is really joking. When it comes to wine tasting, Young Master is much better than those guys who claim to be immortals in wine." Su Liqing smiled lightly, "However, Young Master Yan did not hesitate at all and was not afraid of the little girl in this cup. Poisoned?"
Yan Ziye's smile froze, and he slowly put down the wine glass in his hand. However, he did not panic, but said calmly: "Sir, what do you mean by this? Is it possible that there are still people in Qinghe City who dare to poison me?"
Su Li picked up the jug and poured herself a glass. Her tone gradually became ethereal, "Young master is wrong again. Whether you dare or not is completely different from whether you want to or not. At least for this little girl, if you want the master to die, you can do it." If there is no trace left, even if Governor Yan knows about it, there will be nothing he can do."
Yan Ziye's left hand hidden under the table trembled slightly, his eyes became more and more uneasy, as if a cold breath rose from the soles of his feet and went straight to the sky!
This Mr. Li is not a kind person! !
He felt a vague regret in his heart, knowing people in the world but not knowing his heart. What's more, he had never even seen Mr. Li's true face. If he had known better, he shouldn't have been so trusting and came alone.
At this time, Su Li chuckled and said, "However, Mr. Yan, please don't worry. Since I have invited you to taste wine, not only will I not harm you, but I will also protect you. This must be due to the master's intelligence. , can you figure it out?"
Yan Ziye suddenly became enlightened when Su Li pointed out the stakes. Yes, Linliju asked him openly and honestly, if he was really poisoned to death. It will only make Linliju suffer a disaster. For Linliju, Mr. Li naturally wants to protect him.
After figuring it out, Yan Ziye not only did not feel relaxed, but instead had layers of cold sweat on his forehead.
The rhythm of the conversation was completely controlled by this mysterious woman! His thoughts were simply following her, and it was not his turn to make the decision.
Su Li shook the clear wine in her hand and said calmly: "Master Yan, don't be nervous. In addition to inviting you to taste the wine today, I naturally have other things to do. I also invite you to look down the stairs."
Hearing Su Li talk about business, Yan Ziye immediately felt relieved. He stood up and held the stairs and looked towards the first floor.
I saw a middle-aged man wearing a black silk robe sitting downstairs with a arrogant look on his face, but the noise in the building was too noisy and he couldn't hear what was being said.
"Isn't this the butler of the Jin family?"
Yan Ziye recognized the middle-aged man at a glance and was surprised. He immediately remembered the latest information that the house had given him and suddenly realized it.
It turns out that Linliju was targeted by the Jin family!
Mr. Li is looking for him because he has something to ask for!
Yan Ziye was convinced, his expression immediately returned to calmness, and he seemed to have taken the initiative. He turned around and said bitterly: "The Jin family has repeatedly destroyed Qinghe City's industry, which is really disgusting! But the Jin family has a deep background, and even my father may not be able to stop them from plotting Mr. Li's winery. Mr. Li , I’m afraid you asked the wrong person this time.”
After saying these words, Yan Ziye raised his head and was met with a pair of dark eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, with a hint of mockery. The deep black was like a boundless hell, which made people sink in.
Yan Ziye felt a thump in his heart and couldn't help but take two steps back. Things seemed to be different from what he thought.
"Isn't what the young master said a joke?"
Su Li put down the wine glass, raised her feet, and leaned lazily on the back of the chair, "When did the little lady say that? This time you invited the young master to come over, do you want his help?"
no? !
Yan Ziye looked confused, so what did she mean by asking him to look at the first floor
"Linliju is a place for business. I invited the young master to come over. Naturally, there is a deal to be discussed." Su Li's eyes returned to a soft and charming look, like a peerless enchantress. "I wonder if the young master is interested?"
Yan Ziye frowned and sat down again, "Sir, what is there to talk about between us?"
Mr. Li didn't have what he wanted.
He couldn't do what Mr. Li asked for.
Yan Ziye felt that Su Li's deal was already dirty before he even said it out loud.
Su Li looked confident, "Of course there are many, many, such as the young master, your sister who wants to be a general all day long, and the dreams in your heart. If you don't mind, the little girl can help you realize it. And the young master has to pay for it. , actually very few.”
As soon as these words came out, Yan Ziye's expression finally changed drastically, and his expression was full of horror.
This Mr. Li... who is he? Why do you know his family affairs and even guess what he is thinking
impossible!
Yan Ziye didn't believe it at all.
Su Li took a sip of the sweet wine, and vague memories appeared in her eyes.
In the past life, someone wrote a biography for Yan Hongxiu, but the biography was not about the glorious history, but that she was remembered as the eldest son of the Jin family and the wife of Jin Chengao.
Her tragic life was blocked by the Jin family, but the biography circulating in the martial arts world could not be blocked by the Jin family. Su Li had read it carefully in her previous life. After all, she was also from Qinghe County, so naturally she had no interest in the people of Qinghe County. Some interest.
The person who wrote the biography obviously knew Yan Hongxiu very well. It details the agreement between Yan Hongxiu and his father at home when he was a child. The third brother with whom he has the closest relationship is also mentioned many times. The most mentioned one is that Yan Ziye yearned for freedom. He is extremely eager to become a free knight in the martial arts world!
But for Yan Ziye, who comes from an official family, it is almost impossible to realize his dream.
"Young Master's dream is a taboo. Your background is destined to make what you want a luxury. However, for me, it is not difficult to solve it..."
Su Li used this to be cryptic, but Yan Ziye understood. He suddenly fell into a deep silence. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: "Sir, don't be ridiculous, the trajectory of my life has been fixed, so why bother struggling anymore. "
At this moment, Yan Ziye completely lost his disguise, and all his thoughts were written on his face. He had no secrets left in front of Su Li.
"Oh? Really..."
Su Li tilted her head, held up half of her cheek with her right hand, and said softly: "I said... it's not difficult. If you don't believe it, you can let your sister give it a try."
"Is this an agreement between the fourth sister and my father?" Yan Ziye took a deep breath and shook his head: "That's even more impossible. To be honest, even the father himself couldn't pull the bow that my father gave to my sister. Dad is not only a county guard, but also the number one master in Qinghe City. According to legend, only the legendary... "
At this point, Yan Ziye's eyes suddenly widened, his throat seemed to have been cut off, and he could no longer say the rest of the sentence.
