Back in the room, no matter what You Miao thought, she felt that Batu's words were a bit wrong. He was too concerned about the third person who didn't appear. The two analyzed Batu's words to Nie Dan, and You Miao said, "Why did he notice you?"
"He Motieer is investigating my whereabouts, and most of it has already been passed to the Xiling Palace." Nie Dan replied after thinking: "The Queen Mother Baoyin also has her own information channels."
Li Zhifeng said, "Could they have discovered your true identity?"
"I don't think it's possible." You Miao said: "If it is really revealed, the three of us will be arrested together now. General Nie is lurking in Da'an City, so what's the point?"
"Brother, have you left any clues in the Xianbei tribe?" Li Zhifeng asked.
Nie Dan recalled for a long time, and shook his head in deep thought: "It should be no."
"Assuming that both Sikhland and He Motie are suspicious, they will investigate your background." You Miao analyzed: "You will find the place where you joined the Quan Rong Guard and rescued Daleko. In this case, as long as it is Anyone who cares will go to investigate the matter of that Xianbei village, He Motieer fought with us Han people, he knew that you were there and saved by a Xianbei girl."
Nie Dan's body was shocked, and he replied, "Yes, if you think about it a little, you may think of me."
"You must not show up at the Winter Hunting Festival." Li Zhifeng said: "Otherwise, the plan to besiege He Motie'er may turn into besieging you temporarily."
You Miao was more optimistic, he deduced: "I guess, the current situation is like this, He Motieer guessed that you are the one doing the odd jobs in the Eastern Region House, but Batu and Empress Dowager Baoyin don't know. Batu is the only one. What I know is that you are very important, and that even He Motieer is looking for someone regardless of the cost."
Nie Dan nodded and said: "It makes sense. Sending someone to Wuying's village to investigate will take several days to go back and forth. He can only guess."
Li Zhifeng said: "You go back with the caravan first, big brother..."
"The two of you are on an adventure in the north, how can I leave alone?!" Nie Dan said, "This matter needs to be discussed again."
You Miao and Li Zhifeng exchanged glances, knowing that Nie Dan would not leave by himself, so he stopped persuading him. The three discussed how to confirm that He Motie'er would not be able to turn over again after the Winter Hunting Festival. It was best for Li Zhifeng to shoot him and assassinate him, so that he could escape smoothly.
On the other hand, Nie Dan was still lurking in the hunting grounds, taking his own safety as the first priority, waiting to receive the two of them.
On the same day, Lin Ke entered the Xiling Palace and received Guan Han approved by Batu himself. The next morning, he led the caravan to set off.
When everyone said goodbye to You Miao, You Miao specially took out the bank note he earned in the north and instructed him to hand it over to Qiao Jue. After bidding farewell to the caravan, You Miao couldn't help laughing and crying: "Why is it like explaining the funeral."
Li Zhifeng said casually, "It's definitely possible to run away, but it's not very good if there's no one around to call you."
"Let them all go back." You Miao thought for a while and replied.
It would be more convenient to have someone stay by your side to listen to orders, but once you and Li Zhifeng left without saying goodbye, bringing one more person would only be a drag, and staying in Daan would be the scapegoat. Your own life is your life, and so is the life of others.
A few days later, everyone left, and everything had to be done by himself. Fortunately, Lin Ke and the others had bought enough food, so You Miao went to the kitchen to prepare the meat, while Nie Dan made the noodles and Li Zhifeng was in charge.
"Second brother's food has always been delicious." Nie Dan joked, "I haven't had the chance to eat it for many years, and I often miss the food from your villa."
Li Zhifeng said, "It's all taught by Ziqian."
"Oh?" Nie Dan said, "The gentleman is far away from the kitchen, but the fourth brother can still cook?"
You Miao laughed, knowing that Li Zhifeng's words were just to flatter him. He is a young master, why would he go to cook? However, You Miaosheng eats sexually, and even knows how to eat it. He knows how to make a good dish. Although the specific operation is not good, he still knows what is going on. Just like the relationship between the God of Cookery and the chef, he accepts it with a smile.
There were still some rough servants in the inn, but because of Nie Dan's stay, You Miao dared not let anyone come in casually. He only ordered Dao to come in and clean twice a day. Big and small affairs, everything is hands-on.
You Miao made a steamed meat patty with salted bamboo shoots and a milk cake. Li Zhifeng put it in the pot to steam, and started to simmer a braised beef in a crock pot. With a smile, he said to Nie Dan, "If the eldest brother will live with your fourth and second brother in the future, you can eat it every day. If you are willing to come to Quanrong, you are always welcome."
Nie Dan smiled and said, "Where there are you, there is always something to eat. It's up to you to eat for the rest of your life, but don't despise the big brother."
The three of them all laughed. Nie Dan had a majestic figure, and the big man said while kneading the noodles, "I still remember the first time I went to Miaozi's villa, he served me a bowl of noodles."
"Yo." You Miao was a little surprised and said with a smile, "Brother, do you still remember?"
"Of course." Nie Dan said: "I put four poached eggs and braised pork. Since the fall of the capital, my eldest brother has never eaten such delicious pasta. Later, when I went on expeditions, I often thought of your villa. delicious."
You Miao still remembered that day after Nie Dan picked them up across the river, he just ate the bowl of noodles in a hurry, and then went out to fight again. It seemed that the clouds and winds were completely indifferent, but in fact, he remembered it in his heart for so many years. This matter made him change his mind towards Nie Dan. It seems that who treats him well and who treats him badly, Nie Dan himself knows.
He never dared to ask more about Nie Dan and Zhao Chao, but at this moment, he couldn't help but say, "Big brother."
"Huh?" Nie Dan replied.
"Third brother, he..." You Miao said seriously.
In the kitchen, you can feel that the three of them are having a meal, and the atmosphere is slightly awkward.
"He had no choice but to." You Miao said, "It's been so many years, and if you can let go, let it go."
"What can I do if I don't let it go?" Nie Dan said calmly, took the knife, and began to cut the face: "Life, old age, sickness and death, after a few years, if you don't let go, you have to let it go."
Li Zhifeng said: "You guys talk, I'll go and order someone to buy wine."
Li Zhifeng placed the dishes and went out.
The steamer in the kitchen was bubbling, and on winter nights, You Miao and Nie Dan seemed to have returned to the time they were in the government hall many years ago.
"Big brother this time, don't scold him again." You Miao said, "I think the third brother is quite pitiful."
Nie Dan smiled and shook his head helplessly.
You Miao seldom saw Nie Dan smile, and only remembered it a few times, once when they were sworn in, they laughed outright, and once when they met his cousin, when they were in Yangzhou, they smiled like a spring breeze.
Then again, this time, the wry smile.
"He can't do anything either." You Miao said casually, and sat aside to peel the onion. Seeing Nie Dan about to speak, You Miao raised her hand again and said, "Hey? Stop, brother, don't talk about Che Kulu."
Nie Dan always has nothing to do with You Miao, so he can only say: "I don't use the three principles and five constants, loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness to oppress you, the elder brother will ask you, do you treat him as the emperor, or as your brother? "
"Being a brother is the feeling of being a brother; being an emperor is the feeling of being an emperor." Nie Dan said solemnly: "You can't do whatever you want, when you focus on your feelings, treat him as your brother, and when you have to kill your brother and kill your father , and brought out his emperor status to excuse him."
"If you keep messing around like this, sooner or later it will be you who will suffer." Nie Dan sighed.
"I can't always tell you." You Miao said helplessly.
Nie Dan said, "But eldest brother promises you that when you go back, you won't argue with him again."
You Miao breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Nie Dan had finally compromised.
"After a year of noisiness, it will be one year less." You Miao said with a smile: "It's hard to keep old friends, and in a few years, everyone will not know what it will be like."
Nie Dan nodded, You Miao knew that although Nie Dan promised him verbally, he was actually not convinced. To convince him, only Zhan Li, and he had such a bad temper, could not change it. It was precisely because of this that he would willingly recognize him as his eldest brother, a hundred officials in the imperial court, and when he mentioned Nie Dan, he had to be polite and call him "Nie Shuai".
