Yan Shu stared at Shen Chao closely, and took a few steps back with a vigilant expression on his face. He held his breath and listened carefully to see if there were other people ambushing around.
Shen Chao smiled and said: "Lord Yan, don't worry, I'm the only one here, and I met Master Yan once, but at that time, Master Yan didn't see my face."
Yan Shu could feel that the visitor was not malicious. He pondered for a moment, then suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Shadow?"
Shen Chao put his hands behind his back, sighed with emotion, and nodded in acknowledgment: "Yes."
"Master Yan." Shen Chao said, "You and I should not stay here for a long time, so I will make a long story short. I came here this time to tell Master Yan about where Master Xu is hiding."
Yan Shu suddenly realized.
After the Jinsefang parted that day, he had not received any news about Xu Yixian and Shi Huanian. It turned out that they had someone to help them!
In this way, when he returns to Beijing with Xu Yixian, he will not only be able to wash away Xu Yixian's grievances, but will also have enough witnesses and physical evidence to expose Han Ya's various crimes!
One hundred thousand taels of disaster relief silver disappeared without reason.
Thirty-three Jin Yiwei died innocently.
The ruthless injustice of years of partisan struggle.
Treasoning the country and pro-foreign race dragged the people of the dawn of the world into the quagmire.
All of this, after all, needs to be settled.

On the other side, Li Changtian walked the main road and returned to Tianque Villa from the main entrance.
The reason why he dared to do this was to bet that when he rescued Yan Shu, he covered his face with a black cloth the whole time, so that others could not recognize him.
That being the case, instead of sneaking back and being suspected by others, it is better to walk on the road openly.
But it is impossible to say that you are not nervous.
Li Changtian didn't know if the Jackdaw Guard could recognize him in other ways.
Such as voice, such as body shape.
But so far, we can only take one step at a time.
Tianque Villa was brightly lit. As soon as Li Changtian appeared, he was held down by the jackdaw guards with the reason of 'the suspicious person needs to be interrogated'. Then Li Changtian was pulled in front of one of them with his hands tied.
It was a woman in night clothes, with a ponytail, a pretty face and a stern expression.
When she saw that the person being escorted was Li Changtian, her eyes immediately darkened. She stepped forward, grabbed Li Changtian by the front, and said coldly: "Say, what are you doing running out of Tianque Villa at night? If you dare to lie, I will This cuts out your tongue."
As she said that, the woman actually took out a dagger from her waist, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and pressed the cold blade against Li Changtian's cheek.
Li Changtian said: "I..."
"Chang Tian went to buy medicine for me."
A gentle voice sounded, interrupting Li Changtian's words.
Everyone looked up together and saw Li Qiushui walking slowly.
"Princess." The woman saluted with a group of guards.
"Ah... Ah Wu." Li Qiushui called out, she bent her eyes and smiled, "It's been a long time since I saw you disguised as a woman, but it hurts to shrink your bones and change your throat? Don't force yourself."
Being recognized immediately, Ah Wu seemed very happy: "I didn't force it, thank you for your concern, the princess just said to buy medicine..."
"Well, I don't know what I ate recently, and I feel sick to my stomach. In the evening, I entrusted Chang Tian to buy medicine for me in Baidi City, but I didn't know that I ran into a prisoner escaping." Li Qiushui's tone was light, "What a coincidence. "
Hearing Li Qiushui's words, Ah Wu frowned slightly.
Rather than saying it's too unfortunate, it's better to say, it's too coincidental.
Ah Wu is not stupid, Li Changtian had trespassed in the prison before, how could it be possible that Yan Shu escaped this time and had nothing to do with him
"Ah Wu, can I take Chang Tian away?" Li Qiushui asked with his vermilion lips lightly.
Ah Wu: "... princess... this..."
"A Wu." Li Qiushui called his name with pleading tone.
Ah Wu lowered his heart, lowered his eyes and said, "Since this person went to Baidi City to buy medicine for the Princess, it seems that we caught the wrong person, and the Princess should take him away."
Li Qiushui took a long breath in her heart, she said softly, "A Wu, thank you."
"Princess, pampering is a big taboo. Now that Mr. Han is in Baidi City, he can't see any dissent. He will drag you down sooner or later." Ah Wu said in a low voice, gnashing his teeth.
This remark was a little rude, but Li Qiushui was not angry, she smiled at Ah Wu and said nothing.
Li Qiushui turned around, untied the rope around Li Changtian's wrist, and led him away.
Li Changtian didn't say anything, and followed Li Qiushui obediently with his head down, without saying a word along the way.
Li Changtian didn't speak until he returned to the wing room and there were no eyes or ears around. He said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, sister, I..."
Li Qiushui suddenly reached out to cover Li Changtian's lips.
She shook her head slightly: "You don't need to say more."
Li Changtian nodded in understanding.
Li Qiushui withdrew his hand and asked worriedly: "Changtian, are you injured? Is there any pain on your body?"
Li Changtian's throat choked for no reason.
He knew how much pressure and panic he would bring to Li Qiushui when he let Yan Shu go.
Because of this, she may have to think about one lie after another, and deal with one wily person after another.
But Li Qiushui not only didn't show the slightest angry expression, didn't show the slightest intention to blame Li Changtian, but even asked him worriedly.
Is there any injury, will it hurt
"What's the matter? Why don't you speak? Are you seriously injured?" Li Qiushui asked in a panic.
"No! No injury." Li Changtian grinned at Li Qiushui.
Li Qiushui breathed a sigh of relief, she suddenly remembered something, and said in a low voice, seriously: "God, from now on, people will definitely search your house, and you remember to throw everything that should be thrown off the cliff."
"Well, good." Li Changtian nodded.
Li Qiushui wanted to give a few more instructions, but suddenly someone knocked on the door, knocking heavily three times.
She seemed to be taken aback, showing panic and uneasiness, and grabbed Li Changtian's arm at once.
The guard outside the door said: "Princess, Master Han has called you to go to the main pavilion to discuss important matters, please leave quickly."
"Understood." Li Qiushui replied.
After the people outside the door walked away, Li Changtian asked uneasily: "Sister, why did I call you to discuss things now? Could it be..."
Li Qiushui shook his head: "Probably not, don't worry."
Li Qiushui patted Li Changtian's head comfortingly, then got up and left.
Although he calmly comforted Li Changtian, Li Qiushui was actually in a state of confusion and panic.
On the way to the banquet hall, Li Qiushui was restless.
She knew that the relationship between Li Changtian and Yan Shu was extraordinary, but what she never expected was that Li Changtian would help Yan Shu escape!
If the Dongchuang incident happened, Han Ya would definitely be furious.
What should she do, what should she do...
What should she do to protect Li Changtian and her younger brother.
-
When Li Qiushui rushed to the main hall of the attic, he found that Han Ya and Ah Wu were both there.
Han Ya sat on the three grand master chairs inlaid with red sandalwood and enamel in the center of the hall, with a majestic face and cold eyes. He was sipping tea, surrounded by several majestic guards with swords.
Ah Wu was among them.
Li Qiushui recognized A Wu among the crowd at a glance, and it happened that A Wu was also looking at her. Their eyes collided in the air. Li Qiushui suspected that A Wu had told Han Ya about Li Changtian, and his eyes overflowed with panic.
A Wuwei shook his head inaudibly.
Li Qiushui suddenly felt relieved.
"Lord Han." Li Qiushui saluted.
"En." Han Ya put down the teacup in his hand, and ordered someone to give Li Qiushui a seat.
Li Qiushui kept his head down, not daring to look directly at Han Ya.
In these years, Li Qiushui and Han Ya haven't met a few times, and the two have been communicating with each other through letters.
In fact, she was faintly afraid of Han Ya, because she was humble and considered inferior in her bones.
Li Qiushui always felt that the way Han Ya looked at him was not looking at a single person.
But some chips, an object.
Occasionally Li Qiushui would wonder why Han Ya chose her to go to Beidi to get married instead of the princess.
Li Qiushui still remembered that day.
Holding the tea, she knocked lightly on the door of the princess's room, but found that the door was ajar.
Confused, she peered through the crack of the door and saw the fallen chair and...
A pair of dangling feet.
Li Qiushui was so frightened that he opened the door and walked in, only to find that the princess had hanged himself.
With a buzzing in her head, she fell to the ground, her blood clotted, and her whole body was wrapped in fear.
She stayed there for a long time, and it took a long time before she came to her senses, stood up tremblingly, and wanted to go out, but happened to bump into Han Ya at the door.
Han Ya rushed into the room, hugged the Princess, sat down on the ground and desperately called her baby name, crying bitterly.
Li Qiushui cried for a while, got up and wanted to call for someone, but was stopped by Han Ya.
"My lord, I'll call for help." Li Qiushui explained.
"No, no need."
Han Ya said.
He hugged his daughter's dead body in despair, and sat on the ground for a long time. Suddenly he raised his head, looked at Li Qiushui, and asked, "Does anyone else know about this?"
Li Qiushui cried and said: "It's gone, I was the first to find out. Just as I was going to call for someone, I bumped into you, my lord."
Han Ya was silent for a long while, then suddenly said: "You are not allowed to tell others about this matter, and you will replace the princess for the marriage."
Li Qiushui only remembered that he was out of breath from crying at that time, and vaguely remembered the princess's kindness and friendliness to her for many years, thinking that replacing the marriage would be a funeral for the princess, so he nodded in agreement.
Later, when Li Qiushui recalled that day carefully, he realized that Han Ya was not asking her at all.
His words are declarative sentences.
With a commanding and uncompromising tone.
And for so many years, the news of the princess's early death has been kept under wraps.
It seemed that apart from her and Han Ya, no one else knew about it.
But where did those people who buried the princess, those who saw the clues in the mansion go
-
After Han Ya gave Li Qiushui a seat, he didn't say much. He picked up the celadon teacup again and sipped it carefully.
After a while, Shen Chao hurriedly walked into the attic hall.
"Lord Han." Shen Chao saluted.
"Sit." Han Ya also offered a seat, and slowly asked Shen Chao, "The three thousand Beidi soldiers, are they settled?"
"Returning to Master Han, they are all hidden in Tianque Mountain Villa, and everything is the same." Shen Chao replied.
"Well, well done." Han Ya praised, his tone was indifferent, unable to hear emotions, and he said, "Have you found out the cause and effect of the escape of Qin Jueming's adopted son?"
A Wu stepped forward, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Back to the prince..."
Ah Wu hadn't finished speaking when suddenly a person walked in yelling outside the door.
"Damn it, I said earlier that you Central Plains people are all useless, a big living person, you have been searching for so long and you can't find Mao, you are all idiots, what can you do, it was the same last time, obviously so many guards can make you A brat took the prisoner away, what the hell is going on this time? Couldn’t it be the same person who did it last time?”
The complexions of Li Qiushui and Ah Wu instantly turned pale.
