Chapter 040
When I returned home, I found that there was no one in the yard, Xiaoyun hadn't come back yet, and Shen Yourong didn't know where he had gone.
Yang Lin silently ran to the kitchen to start making arrangements. Speaking of cooking, he had a special preference. Perhaps it was a habit left over when he went to the countryside. He always liked to tinker with delicious food alone in the kitchen. At that time, I was working as a village official in a poor village called Jiangcun. Every day, I would go up to the mountains with a few villagers to collect wild game and come back. Gradually, I became very good at cooking. After I came to Daqian, I occasionally showed off my cooking skills. , which completely conquered the stomachs of the two women. Now, as long as Yang Lin cooked it himself, all the meals would be eaten away. So much so that in the past few days when he was not at home, Shen Yourong's entire appetite was gone. Oh no.
Just when Yang Lin was tinkering in the kitchen.
Farther away in Green Willow Lane, a six-foot-tall young man wearing a green robe was walking on the road.
His lips are painted with vermilion, his eyes are like dots of paint, his face is like a pile of flowers, his appearance is natural and upright, and he looks very handsome.
At this moment, he was holding something like a map in his hand. He was looking at it as he walked, and whenever he met people, he would ask the Shen family which way to go.
"Finally found……"
The young man with a Sichuan crossbow strapped to his back looked up at the tall Shen Mansion in the distance and couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, with a smile on his face.
"My lord has said that you don't need to pay attention to the relatives in the house. Just find the second lady. If you meet the scholar, you must treat him with courtesy and don't neglect him." The young man named Yan Qing thought in his heart. Before leaving, the lord pulled him and said something, and couldn't help but nodded.
Coming from Liangshan, we traveled all the way through mountains and rivers, and because of several accidents on the way, we were delayed a lot, so we arrived at Shen's Mansion now.
Shen Youxia still took good care of his younger sister. Ever since he heard that Yang Lin was knocked unconscious with a stick at a party, he immediately became worried about the security level of Shen's mansion, so he sent his most capable confidant. , Yan Qing - Yan Xiaoyi!
If Yang Lin were here at this moment, he would definitely be surprised, because this name is not too familiar. The thirty-sixth hero in the Water Margin Liangshan, nicknamed the Prodigal, is both civil and military. He is simply a figure with the aura of the protagonist. He once played in Master Li in Tokyo met with Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty and facilitated Liangshan’s recruitment. Such a figure can be said to be
It is a different kind of fame that will be passed down through the ages. Who would associate it with this immature young man in front of me?
Of course, people these days become famous very early. Teenagers are able to carry cauldrons and fight on the battlefield. In ancient times, when the average life span was only thirty years old, teenagers were actually considered the age to start a family and start a business. Only people like Yang Lin who have traveled through time from later generations will feel a little uncomfortable.
Arriving at the door of Shen's Mansion, as soon as I announced my name, I was kicked out by two servants with impatient expressions.
"What Yan Xiaoyi, a name I haven't heard of, and Lu Junyi, have you mistakenly admitted the place? This is the Shen Mansion, not the Lu Mansion!"
"My lord is talking about the Shen Mansion." Yan Qing was startled, then subconsciously thought about it and realized that she remembered it correctly.
His parents died when he was young and he wandered among the refugees. He was accidentally rescued by his lord and raised him. He has been following his lord all these years and knew that his hometown was in Bianjing. He also knew that Lu Junyi was his alias. As for his real name, he didn't know it carefully. Now that he was suddenly asked, of course he couldn't tell him.
He didn't expect that after going through so much trouble to find Shen's mansion, he couldn't even get through the gate.
Breaking in by force? It's even more impossible. He's not waiting to be caught by the officials. Although with his skills, a few servants can't stop him, but this is the lord's house, and it is obviously not suitable...
Let's wait a little longer, but it's getting dark already, so it might be closed soon.
What should I do?
Seeing the two servants looking at him as if they were guarding against thieves, Yan Qing thought to herself, forget it and come over at dawn tomorrow.
So he shook his head, turned around and left.
On the other side, Shen Yourong's carriage just returned from a distance and passed by him without knowing each other.
When passing by a corner of Green Willow Alley, Yan Qing was thinking, and suddenly her ears twitched, and she heard someone whispering in the distance, as if the word "Shen Mansion" was mentioned.
"The place has been found. The son-in-law named Yang is in the workshop outside the city every day. He is mysterious and does not know what he is doing."
"There must be some big move. I see that the guards over there are even stricter than those at Master Shen's house."
"Not only Yan, but also Yin Dashuang and other martial arts masters personally
Sitting there, I'm afraid there are some terrible secrets."
"Never mind it, our mission is to kill that man named Yang, take the money and leave, so as not to cause any trouble."
Hearing this, Yan Qing's expression suddenly became solemn. The son-in-law named Yang in their mouth should be the husband of the lord's sister. As for Yin Dashuang, he should be the eldest brother of senior Xiaoshuang. These people thought Want to harm the Shen family?
Yan Qing narrowed her eyes, stepped lightly, and slowly moved toward those people.
"That old man is really generous. What a useless scholar, he spent such a high price."
"It doesn't matter who he is. People with the surname Liang are in Bianjing, where black and white prevail. What will happen to those who offend him?"
"I heard that the man named Liang fell in love with the second young lady of the Shen family, so he wanted to get rid of his unlucky son-in-law."
"Tsk tsk, a wife is worse than a concubine, and a concubine is worse than a thief..."
"Kill that man and we will get rich."
The three people were discussing something in the corner, completely unaware that someone had quietly approached them.
Yan Qing frowned. Just as he was about to open the Sichuan crossbow behind his back, he put his hand down again.
It was not a good time to alert the enemy, because according to them, the real mastermind was the young master named Liang.
He was ordered by his lord to protect the second wife of the Shen family. Now that he had just arrived in Bianjing and encountered such a thing, he was still very cautious, fearing that he would miss something important by alerting the enemy.
"These people have little martial arts skills and should be just ordinary gangsters. The person behind them seems to have a good background. I wonder who this uncle has offended?"
Yan Qing thought to herself that the people over there had already left, apparently looking for a place to drink wine.
At this moment, Yan Qing accidentally touched a row of bamboos leaning against the wall. The latter suddenly fell to the ground, and the sound echoed in the empty alley.
"Huh? Who is it?"
"Oops……"
Almost as soon as the sound sounded, Yan Qing jumped up, as light as a swallow, and turned directly towards the wall.
Chapter completed!
