Chapter 24: Wei Ziyi 

Send Xinan Wang away

"Let them keep it for now." Duan Bai Yue said, "If you want it, I will snatch it back."

"How can it be snatched?" Chu Yuan shook his head, "The officials of the court are corrupt and bent the law, so all the proceeds should be put into the treasury."

Duan Bai Yue accepted good advice, "If you want it, I will take it back." By changing the word, it sounded much more righteous.

Eunuch Si Xi brought in the rice, and the oily marinated pork ribs looked very tempting.

Duan Bai Yue was relieved: "You really don't have any meat to eat."

"Poverty." Chu Yuan handed him his chopsticks, "What do you think about the Tian Sha Sect, are these people easy to deal with?"

"A small demon sect in the southwest is nothing to be afraid of." Duan Bai Yue said, "It's just that they've never provoked Xinan Mansion before, and it's only recently that they've heard rumours and they want to steal Yao-er to marry."

Chu Yuan said, "It really does sound like a demonic sect." Even a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy could be robbed.

"Without them, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found Xu Zhiqiu's private treasury so easily." Duan Bai Yue said.

Chu Yuan nodded: "The Gold Mountain case is mostly solved. The most important thing now is to find out where the old people of the Goodwill Hall have gone and where the old man Mu Chi is being held."

"Why don't I go and ask Lan Ji?" Duan Bai Yue said.

"You?" Chu Yuan stared, "You know Lan Ji well?"

"I don't know her well, but someone else does." Duan Bai Yue smiled, "Just disguise myself as him."

"Disguise as who?" Chu Yuan continued to ask.

"Eat your rice first." Duan Bai Yue helped him with a piece of ribs, "I'll tell you after we eat."

Frankly speaking, the chef of this courier house is actually not worse than the restaurant chef, after all, is specially invited to cook for the emperor. However, Chu Yuan's taste is really too light, either vegetables or bean curd every day, not even more salt. The kitchen maiden was full of sorrow and felt that she was a great liability. If she were to go out, she would not be able to show off. Therefore, when she heard that the Emperor wanted to eat meat, she cooked it in different ways, and every dish was extremely fresh and delicious.

It was a rare occasion when Chu Yuan's appetite was whetted.

Maybe it was because the food was good.

Or maybe it was because of...... something else.

Duan Bai Yue was very careful, picking out the fish thorns one by one under the candle flame and stirring the soup with a spoon before placing it in front of him: "This time there are definitely no more thorns."

Chu Yuan looked down and took a sip, it was a little hot, which was just right for this kind of night.

Outside the window, a mist of rain fell, but inside the room was not the slightest bit cold.

Eunuch Si Xi was drinking tea in the next room, thinking to himself that the emperor had taken a long time to eat this meal.

I guess the kitchen maiden will receive a lot of rewards from Xinan Wang after dawn.

After removing the remaining cups and plates from the table and making another pot of hot tea, Chu Yuan said, "Go on, who are you going to disguise yourself as?"

Duan Bai Yue replied, "Wei Ziyi."

Chu Yuan was confused: "Who is Wei Ziyi?"

"A lone swordsman in the Jianghu, not really famous, not really a good person, but rather tall and handsome." Duan Bai Yue said, "Lan Ji has always been fond of him."

Chu Yuan: "......"

The devilish demon woman's admiration and affection did not have a second purpose, after all.

The room was quiet.

After a few moments, Duan Bai Yue said, "It's just a few words, so there should be no harm. Lan Ji has been pestering Wei Ziyi for a long time, but she hasn't succeeded yet." So it doesn't necessarily mean that we have to do that when we meet.

Chu Yuan: "......"

Not yet, but I think she still misses it.

"I just said that casually." When he didn't say anything for a long time, Duan Bai Yue had to say, "If you're not happy, then don't go and think of another way."

"It's easy to disguise your appearance, but how do you behave and speak without revealing your stuffing?" Chu Yuan finally opened his mouth, "Lan Ji would not take the initiative to tell everything as soon as she met Wei Ziyi, she would always have to make up words."

“Don't worry about that." Duan Bai Yue said, "Wei Ziyi has always avoided Lan Ji. I have dealt with him a few times. It is not difficult to learn an 80% form."

Chu Yuan said, "Oh.”

Oh, what does it mean? Duan Bai Yue looked at him tentatively: “Is that going or not?”

Chu Yuan said, "Go.”

Duan Bai Yue nodded: "Okay.”

Chu Yuan continued to drink tea.

After another while, Duan Bai Yue suddenly suggested: "Why don't you go together?”

“Hmm?" Chu Yuan was surprised.

Duan Bai Yue said: "Lan Ji's kung fu is not amazing. If the turtle is resting on the roof, she won't find it.”

Chu Yuan was even more silent when he heard the words.

If you won't find it, you won't find it, but why do you have to make a special trip to see this kind of thing?

In such a scene, even the scalp is numb just thinking about it.

Duan Bai Yue later felt that his proposal was a bit weird, and it seemed that it had not been carefully thought out, so he said again: "It's okay if you don't go.”

However, Chu Yuan said, "I will go.”

Duan Bai Yue: “...”

Are you really going?

Chu Yuan emptied the entire teapot and then sent Duan Bai Yue to the next bedroom.

A new big bed has been replaced, and the bed nets and bedding are very red and festive. It is said that they are ready-made in the station hall. The emperor has a purpose to be diligent and frugal, so they can only make use of it and don't need to buy a new one.

Eunuch Si Xi made the bed for him again and again, and said with a smile: “This quilt is made of good material and soft.”

Duan Bai Yue also touched it, it was quite soft.

Eunuch Si Xi said again: “Your Majesty has been sitting here for a while during the day.”

Duan Bai Yue's mood immediately improved-but it didn't take long.

As he lay in bed in the middle of the night, the more he thought about it, the more he realized that he had been compelled to go and see the demon girl.

But that person really agreed.

But it was about the life and death of the old men from Goodwill Hall, and he couldn't think of other strategies for a while, and that was the only way. So on the afternoon of the second day, Duan Bai Yue was still sitting in front of the mirror, transforming himself into Wei Ziyi.

Chu Yuan stood behind him, in a complicated mood.

Duan Bai Yue said: “I'm not around. If you really want to come to the inn, you must be careful about everything.”

Chu Yuan said, "Okay.”

Duan Bai Yue took two steps out, then turned around at the door and said, "It's okay if you don't come.”

Chu Yuan continued: “...okay.”

Duan Bai Yue left the station hall alone.

Chu Yuan sat at the table, quiet... with a headache.

Duan Bai Yue walked down the street with a long sword, looking really handsome, attracting many girls to look back. However, this Dayan City is far from the Jianhu, and no one recognizes who he is, only that he is a good-looking foreigner.

Duan Bai Yue went straight to the Yan Hui Inn.

It was late dinner, and there were a lot of people sitting in the hall. Xiao Er diligently brought peanuts and side dishes to greet him and asked the guests what they wanted to use.

Duan Bai Yue hadn't taken the plate yet, but there was already a pretty voice behind him: "Your excellency is Hero Wei?”

Duan Bai Yue turned around.

“It really is." Lan Ji's maid was overjoyed.

“Miss Caitian.” Duan Bai Yue nodded slightly.

“I really didn't expect to meet Hero Wei here.” The maid smiled, “My Master is upstairs, but do you want to go up and have a glass of wine?"

“Naturally.” Duan Bai Yue picked up the sword on the table and stood up.

The maid was surprised to see this, just because Wei Ziyi was being chased closely, and he had no intention of Lan Ji. He had been running away after seeing Tian Sha Sect, and he had never been so refreshing.

“What are you still doing in a daze?” Seeing her standing still, Duan Bai Yue urged, “See Master Lan soon, I happen to have something important to discuss."

The maid returned to her senses, led him to the second floor, asked him to wait outside the door for a while, and then went in to communicate by herself.

After a while, Lan Ji personally opened the door and greeted him. Seeing that it was really Wei Ziyi, her face was overjoyed.

Duan Bai Yue cupped his fists and said, "Master Lan.”

“I just heard Caitian say, I still don't believe it, but I didn't expect it to be Hero Wei.” Lan Ji let people into the room and closed the door with her backhand, “How could you come to this city?"

“I came to this city with no intention of passing by, but I came here to go back to the inn, but I did it deliberately." Duan Bai Yue said.

Lan Ji giggled when she heard the words and wrapped him around like a snake: “It's really rare, Hero Wei finally figured it out? This humble said before that life is too short, so why bother to be serious.”

Duan Bai Yue avoided quietly, crying secretly in his heart, only begging that no one would look out the window.

“Now that you are here, why do you want to avoid it again?" Lan Ji was dissatisfied.

"I have a condition." Duan Bai Yue said.

"What condition?" Lan Ji was close to his side.

Duan Bai Yue said coldly, "I want a share of the vault on the hill outside the city."

Not expecting him to speak so directly about this matter, Lan Ji was obviously stunned and her face changed.

"There is no need to be alarmed, Master Lan, I am not a person who is unaware of the situation." Seeing that she looked different, Duan Bai Yue smiled, "I was just walking along the mountain that day and I saw something inadvertently. It is a rule of the Jianghu that those who see it get a share, and as I have been in a bit of a pinch recently, I have come to ask for it shamelessly. But don't worry, Master Lan, I won't open my mouth wide."

"How much do you want?" Lan Ji sat up straight.

Duan Bai Yue made a comparison.

Lan Ji watched, "Is that a small appetite?"

"Compared to the gold in the cave, it's not much." Duan Bai Yue replied frankly, "I'm afraid it's just a drop in the bucket, if it's used as hush money, the sect master won't lose out."

"That's fine." Lan Ji poured two cups of wine, covered her mouth and smiled, "I will give you the money, but it depends on how good you are. If you can serve me well, you can double it."

Duan Bai Yue couldn't help but sweep another glance out the window.

Be sure that there is no one, no one, no one.

Lan Ji slid her fingers gently across his chest, trying to open the belt.

Duan Bai Yue blocked her hand away: “The silver hasn't been seen yet, and Master Lan is a little too impatient.”

"You are an honest man." Lan Ji was amused instead, "Funny, funny."

"Not everyone can be as fortunate as you are, Master Lan, to have a fortune from heaven." Duan Bai Yue said, "Ordinary people like me can only be a little more careful."

"Do you really think I've picked it up for nothing?" Lan Ji shook her head, "I've put a lot of effort into this day."

"I believe that." Duan Bai Yue shook his glass of wine, "A few days ago, there was a fire at the Goodwill Hall in the city, and I think it was also the work of Master Lan."

"You're really smart." Lan Ji took off her outer shirt, revealing her pearly arms.

Duan Bai Yue smiled but did not say a word, very calm, and continued to drink.

"In three days, I will return to the Tian Sha Sect." Lan Ji's voice was lazy, "I wonder where this silver is to be sent to for Great Warrior Wei?"

"The old house in Jiangxi." Duan Bai Yue replied.

"Good." Lan Ji reached out and nudged his lips, "I always say one thing and do it, unlike you men, who have no credible words."

Duan Bai Yue encircled her and smoothly put her on the other side: "I said, first I want the silver."

Lan Ji sighed, picking his chin with her fingers, a little unwilling.

The chest was surging and swaying, making people dizzy.

……

After drinking a small half-jar of wine, Duan Bai Yue was finally able to get out, covered in fragrant powder. Just thinking about going back to the inn to take a bath, Duan Nian had already followed up and said, “Your Majesty is here just now."

Duan Bai Yue: “...”

Duan Bai Yue: “...”

Duan Bai Yue: “...”

Duan Nian continued: "Then he left again.”

Just leave. According to that person's temperament, it's no wonder that he can stay all the time. Duan Baiyue asked, "Then what?”

“Then Your Majesty asked the subordinate to tell Wang Ye and go to the station immediately. Duan Nian looked at him with sympathetic eyes, and added, “It seems to be very angry."

Duan Bai Yue felt that he should not even have to sleep on the floor tonight.

In the station hall, Eunuch Si Xi also said after seeing him: “Wang Ye, go in quickly, His Majesty has been waiting for a long time.” If you don't come again, it's time to demolish the house.

Duan Bai Yue took a deep breath and stretched out his hand to open the door.

Chu Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed to the screen, expressionless: "Go and wash it clean." Choke!

Duan Bai Yue jokingly said, "Okay.”

There was the sound of rushing water behind the screen, and Chu Yuan continued to sit at the table, turning over the folds.

It had only been a short time since I left the palace, but why had Lord Tai Fu's handwriting become so ugly?

When I returned, he would have to copy “The Chu Law” eight times a day.

Duan Bai Yue came out of the bath only when he was sure that his body was free of fragrance.

Eunuch Si Xi had already prepared a new outfit. Although the colour was really bright and ugly, the Emperor suddenly asked for it in the middle of the night, so he couldn't find anything better, so he had to make do with what he had.

It was a good thing that Xinan Wang was so handsome that he could wear anything.

Duan Bai Yue sat at the table.

Chu Yuan began, "What did you find out?" He was looking at the folders and did not raise his eyes.

Duan Bai Yue said, "The Tian Sha Sect will leave Da Yan City in three days, and those old men are probably no longer in the city."

Chu Yuan frowned at his words.

"Maybe the old man Mu Chi is also among them." Duan Bai Yue said, "I'm going to follow them and take a look."

Chu Yuan hesitated, "Is there any danger?"

“It shouldn't be a big deal to follow in secret." Duan Bai Yue said, “If I want to rob someone, just turn around and find help."

Chu Yuan nodded hesitantly.

“So you're not angry anymore?" Duan Bai Yue asked.

Chu Yuan picked up the fold again: "When did I get angry?”

Duan Bai Yue looked at him with his cheeks propped up.

Chu Yuan caught a glimpse of redness in his eyes, so he looked up suspiciously.

Duan Bai Yue asked, "What is it?"

Chu Yuan took the initiative to come closer to him.

Duan Bai Yue's heart was suddenly in a battle of heaven and earth, and lightning and thunder.

Chu Yuan stretched out a finger and hooked his lapel.

Duan Bai Yue: "......":

He was a little dizzy, he was really dizzy.

However, before he could finish fainting, Chu Yuan already reached out and angrily slapped the table: "Si Xi!"

“Ahhh, here!" Eunuch Si Xi was still eating peanuts outside, and he was summoned without thinking about being cold, and hurriedly ran in.

"Send the guest." Chu Yuan had already regained his composure.

Duan Bai Yue: "......"

Eunuch Si Xi looked to Xinan Wang, what had happened?

Duan Bai Yue was even more innocent than him, how should I know?

But the emperor was furious, and the rest of the people could not disobey.

Duan Bai Yue returned to the next room, hooked open his own lapel and looked down to see what had happened.

The result was a red stain that looked rather like something that had just happened.

......

"It's really because it's crawling around." A few moments later, Duan Bai Yue squeezed the spider and stuck an arm through the window, "I think it got tired of being in the jar, so it ran out at some point, carrying poison on its body." It's not for any other reason than to take a look.

As for the reason for reaching through the window, the door was locked and there was no way to get in.

Looking at the big, fat, hairy spider, Chu Yuan felt like he was going crazy.

"Si Xi!"

"Here!" This time, he was prepared and did not eat any peanuts, his voice was loud and he ran like an orthopaedic man. He persuaded Xinan Wang back to the next room and wanted to sigh.

You have to be coaxed when he is angry, how can you scare him with a spider? It's not a three-year-old child. I can't understand it.
