They say it's sick

"Son..."

Chen Jin pushed open the door and recognized the figure in front of the bed by the dim light of the only candle in the room.

Yun Zhi still maintained the posture before going out, sitting there motionless, with her back straight, looking the same as when she was studying in the past.

But when he heard the sound and turned his head to look over, Chen Jin couldn't help but sighed.

Those eyes that are always full of smiles on weekdays are like a pool of stagnant water at this moment, seemingly calm but unfathomable.

If possible, he would rather Yun Zhi could cry in pain.But not only did he not, he even acted very calmly. He didn't even shed a tear when he came back from the snowy field and entered Li's residence.

Even the scheming Li Xuan couldn't see the slightest bit of gaffe from this half-grown boy.

It was as if the tragic death of his dearest brother hadn't affected him in any way.

Probably because the sigh was too heavy, Yunzhi looked at him again: "It seems that Li Xuan has said a lot of nonsense."

"It's not all..." Chen Jin put down the food box in his hand, "He asked someone to cook some soup. I wanted to refuse at first, but I thought you haven't had any water or rice all day, how much should you drink?"

Yun Zhi didn't speak, she was still sitting there looking at the bed, she saw that she had wiped off the blood stains and changed into a new robe, her eyelids were lightly closed and her eyelashes were drooping, she looked like Yun Ji who was just asleep.

Seeing him like this, Chen Jin couldn't help but wanted to sigh again.

He looked at Yunzhi for a while, and was hesitating whether to say anything else, when he heard him ask, "What did Li Xuan say?"

"It's nothing more than those consoling words, saying that people have already prepared the coffin to decorate the mourning hall, if there is any other request, let us just ask..."

The aroma of the carefully brewed tonic soup was tangy. Chen Jin filled the bowl and handed it over, "I have already refused according to your wishes. I only ask him to help prepare the chariot and horses. We will set off tomorrow when the snow stops. Li Xuan agreed, but insisted I want to arrange someone to escort me, and I also said that I want to send people to Youzhou to mourn the funeral, but I refused, but..."

"Let him go..." Yun Zhi took the soup bowl, stirred it carelessly with a spoon, her eyelashes drooped, and obviously didn't care what Li Xuan was up to, "Is there any news about what I want to investigate?"

"Our people searched the forest inside and out carefully, and there is not much difference from the initial judgment. Those people were indeed rushing to rob money, and all the money, food and luggage were taken away, even..."

Chen Jin paused at this point, and glanced at the bed.

"Even what?" Yun Zhi paused and raised her eyes slightly.

"The prince's fox fur, the jade pendant on his body, nothing of any value is left..."

Seeing that Yunzhi didn't respond, Chen Jin sighed and continued, "I asked people to follow the horseshoe prints all the way there, and finally arrived at a mountain west of Beizhen. But there is deep snow and dense forests, and the situation is unknown. I didn’t go in hastily, and then I searched around, and it is said that there is indeed a group of bandits in that mountain.”

"Bandit..."

Yun Zhi gave a low laugh, but he heard a chill down his spine, and there was a sudden crisp sound. Chen Jin looked over and found that he had broken the porcelain spoon with two fingers.

"There are quite a few bandits in the Pingzhou territory!"

The porcelain spoon had a sharp break, and immediately left a wound on the fingertip, and blood slowly gushed out.

Chen Jin sighed, took out a brocade handkerchief and handed it over: "This matter is indeed a bit strange, the ones responsible for escorting the son back are all the guards arranged by the Holy One, even if there are few people, it is not so easy to die.

I carefully inspected the wounds on their bodies, and almost all of them were fatal with one blow, which shows that this gang of murderers is highly skilled in martial arts, and they are organized and well-planned... So I wonder if they are also deserters like the gang in the village before, but I don’t know if it is Not also in the Pingzhou Army. "

The wound was not deep, and the bleeding stopped quickly, and the light-colored handkerchief was also soaked in blood, leaving a dark red bloodstain.

Yun Zhi threw away the brocade handkerchief, squeezed her fingers, and looked down at the barely visible wound: "What does my uncle say?"

"Li Xuan said that he will send people into the mountain tomorrow, and no matter how much effort it takes, he will completely wipe out this group of bandits and give us an explanation." Chen Jin sniffled, obviously scoffing at the words.

"Give us an explanation?" Yun Zhi seemed to have heard something funny, and looked up at Chen Jin, "If he has time, why not pray that those thieves have nothing to do with them in Pingzhou, otherwise... the explanation I want, he Li Xuan I'm afraid I can't afford it."

"I also think Li Xuan is unreliable, not to mention whether this group of thieves came out of the army, Pingzhou is under his rule. But if you spend a little time on weekdays, you won't make the gangsters so arrogant..." Chen Jin gritted his teeth , "Tomorrow, I'll take a few brothers for a trip, whether he is a bandit or something..."

"Tomorrow, you guys take eldest brother home..." Yunzhi raised her eyes, and her eyes fell on the bed, "I will handle the rest by myself."

The moon is setting and the sky will be bright.

He slept for so long during the day that Li Yan didn't even feel sleepy at this time. He sat on the bed in a daze and was hesitating whether to go out for a walk when he suddenly heard noises outside.

The room he lives in is not only close to Li Xuan's courtyard, but also the only way to leave the mansion from the inner courtyard. With such a big fight in such an early morning, few people in the whole mansion can sleep peacefully .

Unable to sleep at all, Li Yan got out of bed and put on his clothes, and was about to go out to have a look, when he opened the door and faced a expressionless face.

The steward obviously didn't expect Li Yan to be awake at this hour, so startled that he took two steps back before reluctantly showing a nonchalant expression: "Where is the eldest son going?"

"I wanted to watch the excitement, but I didn't expect to be approached by the excitement..." Li Yan yawned, "What's the matter?"

"The prince of Zhenyuan Hou is in danger. The general ordered the young master to go to Youzhou with the car of the Hou's mansion to mourn the funeral..." The steward said and handed over a bundle, "There are clothes inside, the car is ready, and we are about to leave immediately, young master hurry up and wash up Change clothes."

Go to Youzhou to mourn for Li Xuan?

Li Yan glanced at the steward's face, his thoughts turned slightly, and he understood in his heart.

Although Li Xuan and Yun Ye are both the managers of one party, there is a huge difference between the managers and the managers.

The Yun family has guarded Liaobei since the founding of the country. The Marquis of Zhenyuan has been hereditary and there are many elite soldiers and generals under him. Deterrence of several small countries around.

Li Xuan, the general manager of Pingzhou, was a means of check and balance supported by the late emperor.

But now that the former emperor passed away and the new emperor succeeded to the throne, he may not be willing to support Li Xuan again—not only unwilling, but judging from the purpose of calling his heirs to Beijing, they should be on guard together.

However, Li Xuan had occupied Pingzhou for several years and had a lot of troops under his command, but they were far from enough to compete with the Yun family.But at this time, Zhenyuanhou's son died tragically in the border of Pingzhou. Of course, Li Xuan wanted to put his feet down and put his foot down, so as not to be hated by Zhenyuanhou after losing the support of the court.

But at the end of the new year, he would definitely not be willing to go to Youzhou in person. It just so happens that now there is a cheap son who has just come back. Sending people to the capital later also saves a lot of explanation and certification.

It's as self-righteous as ever.

Li Yan thought about it, and opened the bag in his hand, and found that there was a plain dress inside, and couldn't help laughing——

If it weren't for his identity as the eldest son of the Li family, and according to Li Xuan's habits, he might have prepared a filial piety so that he could be a filial son and grandson for the son of Zhenyuanhou.

It doesn't matter if Li Yan is dressed in hemp and filial piety, but the target has to be Li Xuan anyway.

The yard was still full of noise, and the servants came and went, as if they were carrying something outside. The steward turned his head to watch several times, but when he saw Li Yan, he still looked through the baggage without any haste, and finally couldn't restrain himself. Stop: "Young master, don't you hurry up?"

Li Yan glanced at him, shook the bundle in his hand, and closed the door behind him: "Here we come..."

The Li family has a big business, although it is hasty, it is well prepared.The baggage includes everything from underwear to outerwear, and it fits perfectly.

After Li Yan changed his clothes and washed up briefly, he went out amidst the manager's nagging urging.

Outside the door, there was a young man dressed in bunts. When he saw Li Yan, he bowed and saluted: "Young Master..."

Li Yan glanced over him, raised his eyebrows slightly, and the steward at the side introduced: "This is Li Liang, and he will take care of the young master's food and daily life on this trip to Youzhou."

Taking care of food and daily life?

Maybe he can't trust him, a villain who grew up in the countryside.

Li Yan withdrew his gaze and yawned lazily: "Understood, let's go now?"

"We'll have to wait for a while..." Li Liang replied, "The carriage is ready, Eldest Young Master..."

The words stopped abruptly in the middle of the conversation, and Li Yan raised his eyes, just in time to see a familiar figure coming along the corridor.

Yunzhi...

These two words immediately popped up in my mind—it was really no surprise that the distinguished guest in the mansion, the young master of Zhenyuanhou's family, was indeed that guy.

Li Yan was thinking, folded his arms and leaned against the door, and just made a soft sound, but he didn't expect that such a subtle movement could be sensed amidst the noise of people coming and going. Suddenly he stopped and looked over.

The sky was dimly bright, but the lanterns in the Li Mansion were very dazzling.

Looking at those eyes again across the small half of the yard, Li Yan was momentarily stunned, and for a moment, he almost thought he had misidentified the person.

Before he came back to his senses, the owner of the eyes had already withdrawn his gaze indifferently, and walked forward without looking back.

Only then did Li Yan realize that he was carrying someone behind his back.

The man was covered by a snow-white fox fur. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could tell he was a tall, long-legged adult. It was inevitable that he would be jolted all the way by a half-grown boy on his back, but the man seemed ignorant. There was no reaction.

It's like being dead.

Li Yan looked at it from a distance, and had a clue in his heart - it should be the son of the Marquis of Zhenyuan who died unfortunately, Yun Ji.

The author says:

In fact, I wrote the section on Big Brother in the last chapter for a long time, and revised it many times.For this book, although the big brother comes out as a box lunch, he is actually a very important existence. Yunzhi has been influenced by him since he was a child, even after his death.
