After Xiao Zhu received Lin Wan'er's instructions, he set out early the next morning to the Xiao Mansion in the backyard of the county government office to look for Xiao Yi.

When she arrived at the gate of Xiao's house, she politely explained her purpose to the doorman. After the doorman learned that she was someone close to Lin Wan'er, he did not dare to be negligent and immediately led her to Xiao Yi's study.

"Miss Xiaozhu, I wonder what brings you to my humble home today?" Xiao Yi asked with a smile when he saw Xiaozhu come in.

Xiao Zhu bowed first, then conveyed to Xiao Yi exactly what Lin Wan'er had told her: "Mr. Xiao, my young lady asked me to tell you something. A man from the capital suddenly came to the town yesterday. His name is Murong Xi. As far as we know, he seems to be asking around for news about Mr. Jun. My young lady is worried that this may cause some unnecessary trouble, so I hope you can go to Lujia Village as soon as possible and remind Mr. Jun to avoid coming to the town as much as possible during this period of time."

After Xiao Yi heard what Xiao Zhu said, his brows slightly furrowed. He was not unfamiliar with the name Murong Xi, because he knew that the other party was a powerful and noble child in the capital, and was also Jun Moyuan's study partner. He just didn't know whether Murong Xi was an enemy or a friend. He thought for a while, and then replied: "Okay, please tell Miss Lin not to worry too much. I will go to Lujia Village immediately and inform Jun Moyuan of this matter."

Xiao Zhu nodded, secretly relieved. She knew Xiao Yi was a reliable person, and if she gave this matter to him, he would be able to handle it properly. So, she bowed again and said, "Then I'll have to trouble Master Xiao. Xiao Zhu will go back and report now."

"Wait." Xiao Yi stopped Xiao Zhu, "Please tell Miss Lin to be more careful. If there is any abnormal situation, send someone to inform me in time."

"Okay, Mr. Xiao." Xiao Zhu said, "Then Xiao Zhu will take his leave first."

After saying that, Xiao Zhu turned around and was about to leave, but seemed to remember something, so he stopped and turned back to Xiao Yi and said, "Oh, Mr. Xiao, there is one more thing. My mistress said that although Mr. Murong Xi seems gentle and elegant, he is cautious and has an extraordinary status. We can't ask him directly about his purpose, so we can only observe him secretly. If you find anything, please let us know so that we can deal with it together."

Xiao Yi nodded, thinking that this Murong Xi was indeed not a simple person. It seemed that he had to pay special attention to this person. Then, he told Xiao Zhu that he would keep an eye on Murong Xi's movements at any time, and tell Lin Wan'er and Xiao Zhu about any suspicious points. After hearing Xiao Yi's promise, Xiao Zhu smiled gratefully, then turned and left. Looking at Xiao Zhu's back as he left, Xiao Yi fell into deep thought, and began to think about how to deal with this mysterious young master Murong Xi. Xiao Zhu nodded slightly: "Mr. Xiao, you are too polite. This is the order of my lady. Then I will go back first. I hope Mr. Xiao will be more careful."

After Xiao Yi had his servants send Xiao Zhu away, his worries grew heavier. He knew that Jun Moyuan's identity was special, and if he was discovered by those with ulterior motives, the consequences would be disastrous. Thinking of this, he decided without hesitation to set off for Lujia Village immediately.

Xiao Yi mounted his horse, whipped his horse whip, and galloped all the way, the sound of horse hooves resounding through the sky. Not long after, he arrived at Lujia Village. He dismounted and hurriedly walked towards where Jun Moyuan lived, his heart filled with anxiety for the important news that was about to be delivered.

As soon as he entered the yard, Xiao Yi saw Jun Moyuan sitting there leisurely sipping tea, as if the hustle and bustle of the outside world had nothing to do with him. He hurriedly walked forward, revealing a hint of solemnity in his tone: "Brother Jun, I have something urgent to tell you."

Jun Moyuan raised his head and looked at Xiao Yi who was anxious. He smiled slightly, gently put down the teacup in his hand, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and revealed a faint smile: "Brother Xiao, what's the matter that makes you so anxious?"

Xiao Yi walked up to Jun Moyuan, deliberately lowered his voice, and said carefully: "Brother Jun, yesterday at Ruyi Restaurant, someone from the capital asked Miss Lin about you."

After hearing this, Jun Moyuan's face instantly became serious, and his eyes became solemn. He frowned and whispered to himself: "Could it be that my whereabouts have attracted the attention of some people..." After a moment of silence, he raised his head and saluted to Xiao Yi: "Thank you, Brother Xiao, for telling me this, but please rest assured, Brother Xiao, I will handle it carefully."

Xiao Yi looked at Jun Moyuan with a worried look on his face, and advised sincerely: "Brother Jun, the situation is still unclear, so you'd better be more careful. Especially in the recent period, you'd better not go to the town to avoid accidents."

Jun Moyuan nodded in agreement: "Well, I understand, I will pay attention. But who is he, and why is he trying to find out about me?"

Xiao Yi looked at Jun Moyuan with a hesitant expression, but still said: "Murong Xi, your study partner."

Hearing this name, Jun Moyuan couldn't help but frown, and a trace of vigilance flashed in his eyes. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and his tone was a little puzzled and vigilant: "Murong Xi? Why did he come to see me?"

Xiao Yi frowned, also showing a thoughtful expression. He shook his head, indicating that he did not know the other party's intention.

After a moment's silence, he made a suggestion: "I don't know about this either, but we can't take it lightly. After all, we know nothing about this person. Now we don't know whether Murong Xi is an enemy or a friend, so Your Highness should be careful. Perhaps we can send someone to investigate his background to see if there is anything suspicious. In this way, we can better understand the situation and take appropriate measures to protect ourselves."

Jun Moyuan nodded slightly, indicating that he agreed with Xiao Yi's opinion. He looked firm and said in a steady tone: "Well, you are right. This matter does need to be treated with caution. In this case, let's act according to your suggestion. I will ask the people around me to be more vigilant, and at the same time pay attention to Murong Xi's movements. In addition, you can send someone to investigate why he came to Fengxi Town, and try to get more information. If you find any abnormal or suspicious signs, report to me immediately."

Xiao Yi took the order and started to investigate Murong Xi's identity and background. He knew the importance of the mission, so he was extremely cautious. At the same time, Jun Moyuan was also thinking about how to deal with it. He realized that Murong Xi's appearance might bring them some trouble, but he firmly believed that as long as he remained calm and acted decisively, he would be able to resolve the crisis.

As time went by, Murong Xi's arrival did not cause much commotion. However, Jun Moyuan and Xiao Yi remained highly alert. They knew that danger often lurked beneath the surface of calm, and only by being ready to meet challenges at all times could they ensure their own safety. In this silent contest, who will win in the end? The answer has not yet been revealed...
