Looking at Tai'an from the full moon

Not long after Zhen Luo left, Yan Luo rushed over from Yun Mansion.

"master."

"What's wrong? What's the matter?"

Yan Luo usually does not leave his post unless something unusual happens.

"Today, someone came to the mansion to look for Master Chu. The person who came was skilled in martial arts and climbed over the wall to get in."

Xiao Zuochen, who was reading a book, immediately put it down when he heard the news.

At this time, Yun Mansion——

In Chu Yao's room, Xiao Hei was kneeling on one knee.

"Didn't you tell me not to come into the mansion to look for me?"

"Young Master! I have received some important news and I am here to tell you."

"Then tell me quickly, before anyone finds out."

"Yesterday, Gui Chi followed that man and found out that he was actually General Wang Zhongming of Tai'an. The other person who sent him back to the palace was the third prince of Tai'an. Now people in the market say that the third prince made a mistake, and the emperor punished him to serve Wang Zhongming in his palace. But the court has not announced what the mistake was."

"Oh? That's interesting. So what do you think he did wrong?"

"This is very obvious. Although the emperor has not made it public, everyone who knows the situation knows that the person who pretended to be from Shenyin Pavilion was Wang Zhongming. The third prince was eager to make a contribution, so he captured him, but he accidentally hit his own people."

"Humph, the dog emperor really shot himself in the foot with this move."

Chu Yao was playing with the two bells in his hands. One was the bell of the Shenyin Pavilion, and the other one was actually also the bell of the Shenyin Pavilion, but it was the bell used by the Shenyin Pavilion twenty years ago, and it was also the one that Wang Zhongming was carrying at the time.

"Young Master, there is another piece of news that may interest you more."

"what?"

It was just past the afternoon and it was not yet dark.

Today, Xiao Zuochen returned to the Yun Mansion for dinner for the first time.

"Is he still in the house?"

Xiao Zuochen asked Yan Luo. Yan Luo had just told Chu Yao that she was back, and today was the first time the two of them had dinner together.

"Yes, Master Chu did not leave the Yun Mansion today."

Yan Luo told the truth. Just as she finished speaking, Chu Yao appeared.

"What? Do I have to report my every move to your master?"

Hearing this, Xiao Zuochen glanced at him. At this moment, his tone was not good, and it seemed that his subordinates had passed on some news about him to him.

"Is that so, Yun Chen? Or should I call you, Your Highness Prince Yun?"

Chu Yao stared at Xiao Zuochen, hoping that he would have some reaction, either guilt, or anger, anything would be fine.

But Xiao Zuochen calmly picked up a piece of meat, put it on the plate in front of Chu Yao, and then slowly spoke.

"Since you also know my identity, we are even now."

"what?"

Chu Yao was puzzled. How did it end up being even? Could it be...

"You disguised yourself to sneak into Tai'an City, and today your subordinates sneaked into my mansion. Do you think your identity is clean?"

Huh~ Chu Yao let out a breath. It seemed that Xiao Zuochen knew that his identity was not ordinary, but he still didn’t know what his exact identity was.

Chu Yao was just feeling lucky, but Xiao Zuochen's next words exposed him directly.

"Tell me, who are the people from the big families in Beiguan who would come to Tai'an City to do business at this time, and be so mysterious? Should I call you Chu Yao, or should I call you the Young Master of Shenyin Pavilion?"

"you--"

Xiao Zuochen imitated Chu Yao's tone of mockery, leaning his head on the table with one elbow, and looked at him with a curled mouth. Chu Yao was choked by Xiao Zuochen's coquettish expression and muttered softly.

"Just say it, why are you making such a seductive face?"

"Weren't you speaking to me confidently just now? Why are you speaking so gently now?"

Xiao Zuochen put his arm down and started to eat. Chu Yao also picked up the chopsticks with some frustration and joined him.

"You said it's even, what else can I say?"

"So I guessed it right?"

"Did you guess it?"

"Of course, what else?"

"I thought you had accurate intelligence!"

"I didn't. My mind is not on you."

"You are so good, Xiao Zuochen, you are trying to deceive me!"

"This is called all is fair in war~"

"Shut up!"

Xiao Zuochen immediately covered his mouth with his hands. But Chu Yao didn't understand, how did he guess it, just because he was from Beiguan?

"Then how did you guess my identity?"

Xiao Zuochen widened his eyes, then pointed at his hand covering his mouth, waved his hands and shook his head.

"Speak quickly!"

Chu Yao put on what he thought was his most ferocious expression to "threaten" Xiao Zuochen. But that expression, with his nose blown and eyes glared, made Xiao Zuochen laugh.

"Stop laughing and tell me~"

Chu Yao was very curious. He had been in the Yun Mansion for such a long time and had never doubted Yun Chen's identity. Why did he know his identity just by looking at Beiguan?

"The court has been investigating a serial murder case recently, and they all say it was done by the Shenyin Pavilion. You are from Beiguan, and you came here for no reason. You do nothing all day long, but today someone suddenly broke into your room. Do you think you sound like a good person?

Moreover, Shenyin Pavilion was previously located in the North Gate. I heard that the previous Pavilion Master was a woman. Isn’t it a coincidence that her last name was also Chu?”

Xiao Zuochen looked at Chu Yao with amusement, but Chu Yao just smiled bitterly.

"It's quite a coincidence~ Since you guessed that I was from Shenyin Pavilion, and now there is a serial murder case, don't you plan to arrest me?"

Xiao Zuochen snorted after hearing this.

"No one can catch you until I have learned the Qing Kung Fu!"

"Aren't you afraid that there will be another murder in the next few days while I'm here?"

"Does this murder case have anything to do with you?"

"It doesn't matter! It has nothing to do with Shenyin Pavilion. This is all just nonsense from the dog emperor!"

Forehead...

Chu Yao touched his nose awkwardly. He seemed to have said something bad about his father in front of Xiao Zuochen.

"It doesn't matter. I don't care what you say about him. Since you said it has nothing to do with you, I believe you. I guess you came to Tai'an City to investigate this matter."

"You, you believe me now?"

Chu Yao was a little bit unbelieving. He had also thought that if Xiao Zuochen discovered his identity, there would be a big friction between the two of them.

"Ah."

"why?"

Chu Yao was a little excited. This feeling of being trusted by others was really, really...

"Because I don't think you can come up with a lie that can deceive me."

After Xiao Zuochen finished speaking, he looked at Chu Yao very seriously and nodded, indicating that he was serious.

"Xiao! Zuo! Chen!"

Chu Yao suddenly stood up from his seat, rolled up his sleeves, and looked like he was ready to fight.

"Cough cough~"

Seeing his posture, Xiao Zuochen immediately started coughing. "When it comes to being weak, I've never lost, okay?"

Just when the two men were "equally matched" in momentum, a cold arrow shot in from outside the wall towards Xiao Zuochen.

Chu Yao's first reaction was that Xiao Zuochen didn't know martial arts, so he quickly pulled him up to dodge, and he used his internal energy to take the arrow.

Yunyou and Yanluo in the yard heard the noise and hurried over from their respective rooms.

"Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Xiao Zuochen was fine, the others were relieved. Yun You turned around and wanted to chase after him.

"Yunyou! No need."

Xiao Zuochen had a serious look on his face at this moment, and there was none of the frivolousness he had when he was arguing with Chu Yao just now.

He turned to look at the arrow in Chu Yao's hand. It was plain and without any mark. He looked up and saw Chu Yao also had a serious expression, which was rare.

"Thank you~"

Xiao Zuochen didn't want the atmosphere to be too tense, and he really wanted to thank Chu Yao. Although he didn't know martial arts, he learned Qinggong from Chu Yao, so he could still dodge the arrow. But his first reaction was to come and save him, which made Xiao Zuochen feel warm in his heart.

"Hmph, you're welcome~"

Chu Yao hesitated for a moment, also arrogant.
