Ma'am, do you dare to answer?

Lian Yan ate a bowl of wontons and returned to the post station when it was almost dawn. Before he woke up in a daze, he was woken up by the deputy general's loud voice, rubbing his swollen eyes, Lian Yan got up and put on a Clothes opened the door, and he saw the armor of the lieutenant general, obviously intending to go out.

Lian Yan leaned against the door and yawned lazily before asking: "Are you going to practice so early in the morning? It seems that everyone has not slackened in the past few days when I am away. It is very good and deserves praise. "

Hearing this, the deputy general turned his face and said in surprise: "General, when did you come back? No wonder Master Ouyang asked us to send troops early in the morning. It turned out that it was discussed with the general."

Lian Yan was confused by what he said, waved his hands and frowned and said, "I came back last night in the middle of the night, and I haven't seen Ouyang Lu. What are you discussing? What does he want you to do?"

"Don't you know, the general?" The deputy general hurried forward and said, "Early this morning, Master Ouyang sent a military officer to inform us that we are armed and ready to go to Zhecui Mountain to suppress the bandits. .Why doesn't the general know?"

She should know?Lian Yan frowned, and asked again: "How did he tell you?"

The team under her was brought by Lian Yan from Kyoto. Although there are not many people, all of them are good players with one against ten. She did tell Ouyang Lu that if you need it, please just give orders, but the bandits are so big. It's too late for Ouyang Lu to take her people up the mountain without saying a word!

"Master Ouyang didn't say anything." Seeing that Lian Yan's expression was not good, the deputy general explained: "We saw that the general hadn't returned yet, and Mr. Ouyang was in a hurry, thinking that the general suffered a loss on that mountain. That's why I thought, go up the mountain quickly and help the general."

"Tell the brothers, wait where you are, and obey my orders!" Lian Yan turned back to the room to change clothes after finishing speaking.

She just came down from the mountain, and it was only after eating a bowl of wontons that Ouyang Lu was about to enter the mountain. Something must have happened that she didn't know. Lian Yan tied up her hair, changed into light and easy clothes, and went Ouyang Lu's magistrate ran to the prefecture's mansion. She walked all the way in a hurry. There were obviously fewer pedestrians on the street than before. Lian Yan was puzzled and stopped a pedestrian who was also in a hurry, wanting to inquire about some news.

"Oh, I don't know." The man also looked at a loss: "When I got up early, the magistrate posted notices and even went door-to-door to tell all the vendors to stay behind closed doors. If you can go home, go home quickly. Stay outside again. It’s okay, it’s okay, I won’t tell you anymore, my old lady is still waiting. You should go home quickly, don’t delay outside, maybe the bandits have gone down the mountain again!”

After speaking, she pushed Lian Yan away and left in a hurry.

Bandit down again?Lian Yan frowned, she was stationed here, even Qin Jian knew how to restrain herself, which bandit dared to be so blind?

The magistrate's yamen was in order, and it could be seen that Ouyang Lu was well dispatched. Lian Yan asked Ouyang Lu's location and went straight to the study.In the study, Ouyang Lu was looking for something, the originally neat study was turned into a mess, all kinds of county chronicles were thrown everywhere.Ouyang Lu heard the voice, without turning his head, he said directly: "Where is the Canglan Geography Map? Why can't I find it?"

"Master Ouyang, why are you looking for geographic maps?" Lian Yan casually put a volume of books on a shelf aside and asked, "What happened?"

Hearing it was Lian Yan's voice, Ouyang Lu hurriedly turned his head and confirmed that it was Lian Yan before he breathed a sigh of relief: "It turned out to be General Lian, and I thought it was Dian Shi who came to deliver the materials. When did General Lian come back? It's really great!"

"Last night." Lian Yan asked: "I heard from the deputy general this morning that Lord Ouyang is going to encircle and suppress Zicui Mountain? But what happened?"

"Even the general didn't receive my letter from Fei Ge?" Ouyang Lu was puzzled for a moment, but quickly said: "It's okay if you didn't receive it. Since the general has returned, it's the same for Ouyang to tell the general himself."

"I didn't see any abnormalities when I came down from the Jicui Mountain." Lian Yan was puzzled: "Why did Master Ouyang go to the mountain to encircle and suppress in such a hurry?"

Ouyang Lu shook his head and sighed: "General Lian, the situation is serious, this mountain can't stand it any longer!"

"Speak, I'll listen." For some reason, what Qin Yun said was in Yan Yan's mind, and who was in the way of Cui Cui Mountain, but Ouyang Lu's attention was caught in just one night, and Ouyang Lu again What news did she not know?

"What information can General Lian find out on Mount Bicui?" Ouyang Lu was a little hesitant but said anyway: "Is there really nothing unusual?"

"No." Lian Yan replied simply and neatly: "I came back just because I couldn't find any useful information." When she went up the mountain, Qin Jian already knew her identity, even though Qin Jian gave her a lot of preferential treatment on the surface , but Lian Yan is not a simple young lady like Qin Yun, she has never met Qin Jian, how could Qin Jian trust her completely?It might be that he has been secretly on guard all the time, and even Qin Yun is hiding it, so Lian Yan will naturally not be able to find useful information.

Thinking of this, Lian Yan's eyes had a hint of annoyance. When she was on the mountain that day, she didn't think of it. Looking at it now, this is basically a game within a game, but who is the person in this game?What exactly does Qin Jian want to do?What a Bandit wants is territory, and he already has Qin Jian, and the position of Zicui Mountain in Canglan is easily unshakable, why should he provoke himself?

"Ouyang got a big news!" Ouyang Lu said angrily, "Miss Guan is dead!"

"What??!" Lian Yan was startled, his face changed suddenly: "What did you say? Miss Guan died? When? How is it possible!"

Miss Guan died, Qin Yun said she was dead, but she was really dead!

"I got the news two days ago. At that time, I passed the letter to the general with a pigeon, but the general didn't receive it." Ouyang Lu sighed: "A hunter brought a hunting dog up the mountain to hunt, and somehow he came to the back of the mountain. On the mountain, the hounds were restless and ran around, but who would have dug out the body of Miss Guan's family on the mountain!"

"The mountain at the back of Zicui Mountain?" Lian Yan frowned in thought. Nothing happened to Zicui Mountain in the past two days. If it was unusual, the only thing that happened that day was that Qin Yun went out suddenly and ran to her room in the middle of the night. thing.

So, where did she go when she went out that day?Is it related to Houshan, and Miss Guan?

Ouyang Lu nodded: "The corpse dug up by the hunting dog is horrible, and the man's clothes are still covering the body." Ouyang Lu closed his eyes and sighed: "When I received the news, I took Wuzuo to the back mountain while it was dark, and saw the corpse .”

"Where's the corpse?" Lian Yan asked, "Where is it? Take me to see it."

"Master Guan got the news and brought him back." Ouyang Lu said: "The deceased is gone. You Zuo has experienced the corpse. He was killed, killed... Alas, Ouyang can't tell." Ouyang Lu lowered his head. Nodding her head, the annoyance and guilt on her face were clear: "It's Ouyang who is incompetent, my good daughter, Cang Lan, who was ruined just like that!"

Was spoiled?Lian Yan squeezed her fingers, and all the scenes of Bicui Mountain flashed in her mind. She always felt that judging from Qin Jian's way of raising Qin Yun, bullying women was not something they would do. In other words, it's something you don't bother to do!

"Didn't you say it was covered with a man's shirt?" Lian Yan asked, "Where is the shirt? Take me to see it."

"Consider it as evidence, put it away." Ouyang Lu said hurriedly: "Now we are about to send troops into the mountain to conquer Mount Bicui, even the general, why don't you come back and see."

"A person died in the Jacui Mountain, and only one piece of clothing does not prove that it was done by the people of the Jicui Mountain. What does Ouyang Lord mean by rushing into the mountain? Don't you need to find out the murderer first?" Lian Yan couldn't help it. Yue: "Master Ouyang still has other considerations."

"What does General Lien mean now? Stop us from encircling and suppressing Zicui Mountain?" Ouyang Lu said a little annoyed: "General Lian is speaking for those bandits? If we don't send troops, then Master Guan will go up the mountain by himself to help his daughter Get justice! Is it not enough to kill one person, but also take the whole family into it? Even the general said that that piece of clothing can't prove anything, but if that piece of clothing is the second in charge of Bicui Mountain, What should I say then? Could it be that someone still falsely accused him, took off his clothes and threw them on Miss Guan?! Even the general has never seen such a cruel scene, and you are a girl, how can you have the heart to say such a thing!"

Ouyang Lu lost control of his emotions, walked a few steps outside the door and shouted loudly: "Come here, find someone to show the evidence to General Lian, so that General Lian can take back the kindness that shouldn't be there!"

"Lord Ouyang, I didn't mean that!" Lian Yan frowned and wanted to explain: "I just don't want to wrong innocent people."

"Innocent people?" Ouyang Lu sneered, flicked his sleeves, pointed outside and said: "General Lian went outside to ask, who in the whole Canglan would say that the bandits on the Jaicui Mountain are innocent? People are dying tragically in Jaicui now." Within the sphere of influence of the mountain, General Lian doesn't say he wants to fight for the people, but just excuses those thugs here, how can General Lian be worthy of my people in Canglan, how can he be worthy of His Majesty's entrustment!"

"I don't mean to excuse them!" Lian Yan's face was a little gloomy: "If it's what they did, then Lian Yan should eliminate harm for the people!"

Zhecui Mountain is now being criticized by thousands of people, and it cannot be excused with a single word, but she can't forget the conversation between the old couple under the lights last night, and Qin Yun said with disdain, "When the water is clear, there will be no fish." "It looked like that, if the Zhecui Mountain is not clean, does that mean that the whole Canglan is not clean!

What about this Ouyang Lu?Can he do it cleanly?

"My lord! The evidence has been brought." Wu Zuo ran over panting.

"Show it to General Lian." Ouyang Lu dropped a sentence and left: "General Lian will take a good look at it, Ouyang is short on time, so I won't accompany you!"

Wu Zuo walked up to Lian Yan carefully with a plate in his hand, Lian Yan raised his hand and took off the shirt, opened it and recognized it, it was the navy blue Confucian shirt that Xia Qingshan always liked to wear!

Lian Yan's hand pinching the clothes unconsciously exerted force, and the material on her hands was wrinkled by her.She wouldn't be able to confirm that this person died at Xia Qingshan's hands just because of a piece of clothing, but this matter definitely has something to do with Jacuishan!

The author has something to say: Qin Yun: I heard that someone quarreled with my Zijin, brothers, come on!

Lian Yan: It feels so good to be protected inexplicably.

Qin Yun: My woman can only be bullied by myself.
