The heavy rain fell silently, and Sun Chi didn't hear Yan Huaiyin's answer for a long time.

He didn't dare to look up, he could only feel Yan Huaiyin standing there silently.

I don't know how long it passed until someone came to break the stalemate.

Huo Yunping stopped not far away, he hurried over, not breathing well, followed by a group of crane feather troops.

"Master," Huo Yunping called Yan Huaiyin, "this subordinate has something important to report."

Sun Chi couldn't help but raised his head to take a glance, and saw Yan Huaiyin's clothes turned around, his voice was calm: "Okay, let's go into the room and talk."

What Huo Yunping said was indeed important. When Chaohua City was trapped for a long time, seeing more and more people running towards Yan Huaiyin, and the imperial army was not enough, Emperor Chengde came up with a crazy way-he recruited all 14-year-olds in the city The young and middle-aged men above are trained by the imperial army and are ready to go into battle to kill the enemy.

This move is really insidious, Liu Qingyun sends these people out of the city, if Yan Huaiyin is killed, his previous reputation will be ruined.

After Yan Huaiyin heard this, she tapped her fingertips on her knees.He sat upright, and without thinking for a long time, he said to Huo Yunping in a warm voice: "Wait, the training of the imperial army will take some time. If Liu Qingyun sends these people out in a few days, don't kill them. Capture them alive." , after the capture, comfort him well."

"The land outside the city is about to be plowed in spring now." Yan Huaiyin took a sip of tea, "There are a lot of places waiting for them to go, we must treat these people with gentleness, and don't bully or insult them."

Huo Yunping's eyes lit up: "Master, what a way!"

If you kill them all, a little carelessness will arouse the people to rebel, but the law of Huairou is to moisten everything in silence.

The warm tea rolled on the tip of his tongue, Yan Huai swallowed it calmly, and he said in a gentle voice: "I still have some money in my account, the person who ran out from Chaohua City, I remember a doctor from the household department, Let him handle this matter. Take the money from my private account, and if the captured people do the spring plowing, I will give them monthly money."

No one has trouble with money.

Wonderful!

"Okay!" After solving the problem in his heart, Huo Yunping raised his eyebrows, and he couldn't wait to stand up, "This subordinate will do it now!"

He went out excitedly, his heart was full of fire, but before he had walked a few steps, he met Liu Shangqing who was rushing this way.

This place was originally a den of bandits, and the roads were made of muddy ground. Liu Shangqing came in a hurry, pushing a wheelchair stuck in the muddy ground alone, and Huo Yunping saw it, and quickly went to pick up his wheelchair : "Why do you go out on a rainy day, where is your wife?"

"She should be on duty today," Liu Shangqing was finally able to properly hold the umbrella, he asked, "how is the master?"

Huo Yunping was taken aback by the question: "It's pretty good."

What else could it be?

"Sun Chi came to me just now and said that Nine Thousand Years went to Chaohua City alone," Liu Shangqing asked, "Do you know about this?"

Huo Yunping froze on the spot, shocked: "What?!"

He saw Sun Chi talking to Yan Huaiyin, but he didn't expect it to be about this.

Jiang Lian entered Chaohua City alone, do you want to die? !

"Let's go," Liu Shangqing understood after seeing him like this, "Let's go and have a look together."

He was worried, and asked again: "Is there really nothing wrong just now?"

"You have a wife," Huo Yunping recalled Yan Huaiyin's appearance just now, and asked him, "If your daughter-in-law ran into the enemy camp alone, what would you do?"

Liu Shangqing said: "Then go to ask the master first, the master can't help me, I will die, at worst, go with her."

But he can beg Yan Huaiyin, but Yan Huaiyin has no one to beg.

The wheelchair was splashed with muddy water, Huo Yunping lowered his voice: "Master is the same as usual, I really didn't notice any difference just now."

He had seen Yan Huai getting along with Jiang Lian in private, and it was clearly very affectionate.Now that Jiang Lian's life or death in the city is uncertain, Yan Huaiyin can still laugh, but he doesn't seem to care at all.

Huo Yunping couldn't figure it out.

As they spoke, they arrived in front of Yan Huaiyin's house. Yan Huaiyin's used umbrella was still standing under the eaves, and there was some water on the handle of the umbrella, which looked lonely.

Huo Yunping knocked on the door, and after a few breaths, the door was opened.

Yan Huaiyin's figure appeared from inside the door, his eyebrows full.

"Master," Liu Shangqing and Huo Yun bowed in parallel, "I heard from Master Sun that nine thousand years old went to Liu Qingyun's grand banquet..."

Yan Huaiyin interrupted him before he finished speaking: "I see, Sun Chi told me."

"It's raining heavily, you guys go back first," Yan Huaiyin didn't want to say more about this, he smiled as usual, "Be careful on the road."

Liu Shangqing's words of comfort were stuck in his throat before he could say them out. He understood his master's temper, so he could only respond in the end: "Master, take care."

Yan Huaiyin stood like this, watched them leave, then stared at the rain for a while, and then closed the door.

Yan Huaiyin sat back on the bed again, the head of the bed was turned a little messy by him, and his hands were resting on the pillow.

The pillow was pushed aside by him, and there was nothing under it.Yan Huaiyin's fingertips went up, but did not touch the strand of hair that Jiang Lian cut off last night.

It seemed that everything last night was just an illusion in his sleepiness.

Yan Huaiyin sat there quietly, the light from the window slipped from his brows to his sleeves, his face was expressionless.

It wasn't until he felt that the tea he drank was pushed up again, and the tip of his tongue couldn't hold it down, did his eyelashes tremble.

Not only the tea, but also all the viscera crawled out of his body twisted.

Yan Huaiyin pursed his lips tightly, calmly took out a clean handkerchief from his sleeve, and skillfully covered his upper lip with the handkerchief, he arched his waist slightly.

There was a suppressed cough, and there was no sound in the room that had been silent all afternoon.

After a while, the cough stopped, Yan Huaiyin straightened up again, he calmly took the veil away from his lips, and folded the blood-stained piece inside.

No one saw it.

Jiang Lian didn't come back for five days.

In the past five days, Yan Huaiyin was no different from the past. The tiger talisman was still being searched for. Jiang Lian left him the badges of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Yan Huaiyin sent all the people out to find Jiang Lian's whereabouts.

He arranged everything in perfect order.

It's not impossible to live without Jiang Lian, but if Yan Huaiyin falls, everything will come to naught. With so many lives depending on him, no one can bear the charge of treason.

Fortunately, Yan Huaiyin did not fall, which made everyone feel at ease.

Only Yan Xiuqing noticed something different. When Jiang Lian was around, Yan Huaiyin would eat well, even if he didn't want to eat, Jiang Lian would always take a few bites when he saw it.

Now when it comes to eating, Yan Huaiyin only takes two sips of tea after the whole meal.During the entire meal, Yan Huaiyin was mostly in a daze in silence.

Food is precious, and he has explicitly prohibited doing special things, including himself, of course. If you don't eat it at the dinner table, it often means that you won't eat it in the future.

Yan Xiuqing wanted to persuade him, but he couldn't. The only person who could persuade him was not here.

In addition, Yan Huaiyin entrusted her with more affairs, and Yan Xiuqing had no skills at all, she vaguely knew what Yan Huaiyin meant, and the moment she realized it, she felt her blood was burning.

Seeing her like this, Yan Huaiyin advised her with a smile: "Don't think so simply, if you can't do the best, I can pick a good seed from Quandaqi. If you go this way, you will be better than men. It's much harder."

Yan Xiuqing knew the meaning of his words, so she no longer concealed her ambition, and became more determined.

Everything seemed normal, until the afternoon of five days later, a headless corpse slumped on the city wall from the watchtower of Chaohua City.

They pointed to the corpse and said that Jiang Lian was dead.

Over the past several months of confrontation, the two sides have built watchtowers on the edge respectively. The watchtower of Chaohua City was built on the city wall, and the bloody corpses were hung there. People next to them were beating gongs and drums and shouting: "Nine thousand years old!" Jiang Lian is dead! Jiang Lian has done all the bad things, colluded with the remnants of the previous dynasty, and finally suffered retribution, and was beheaded and killed in the mansion by the left minister! Die!..."

"Fart your father!" The people on Yan Huaiyin's side were not to be outdone, but they stopped after just cursing.

After seeing who it was, he froze for a moment.

After Yan Huaiyin went upstairs, he didn't say a word, and the soldiers standing guard on the watchtower didn't respond, they just felt their arms go numb, and the next moment, the bow in their hands was in Yan Huaiyin's hands.

Yan Huaiyin took the bow, and casually touched an arrow in his arrow basket.

The arrow hits the bowstring, draws it full, and releases it.Yan Huaiyin had no expression on his face, his eyes were half-closed, and there was a small shadow under his eyelashes.

The howling wind tore through, and there was no sound on the other side.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Before the soldier could react, he saw Yan Huaiyin throwing the bow back to him.

When the two countries come to war, they will not kill their envoys. People who make such statements generally cannot be killed.

Yan Huaiyin shot him dead with an arrow.

"In the future, apart from patrolling, there will be no need to stand on it," Yan Huaiyin hid his trembling fingertips in his sleeves, "Anyone who says such things will be killed."

Ignoring anyone, Yan Huaiyin went down the watchtower, and when he raised his eyes, he saw Lian Qing standing there, looking at him with fear in his eyes.

Yan Huaiyin didn't know how scary he was now, he had never seen such a look on his face before, the mask of smile faded away, and at this moment the murderous aura that couldn't be concealed appeared from his face, It even covered Lian Qing.

Lian Qing knew that Yan Huaiyin would not kill herself, but the killing intent in his eyes was real.

Yan Huaiyin seemed to know that he was frightened, the killing intent flashed past, and he returned to his usual appearance in a blink of an eye.

He said softly, "The corpse is not him."

He just doesn't like to hear that kind of words, he doesn't like words like death to be associated with Jiang Lian, it will make him unable to bear the suppressed, boiling desire to destroy everything.

He was such a person in his bones.

Yan Huaiyin left first, and after a long time, Lian Qing was relieved.

It's fine if it wasn't, if the corpse just now was Jiang Lian, he didn't dare to think what Yan Huaiyin would do.

But before the breath was finished, another message came.

"Master," said He Yujun who came to report, "a young eunuch escaped from Chaohua City, and said that he knew the master and had something important to report."

Yan Huaiyin put the hot tea back on the case: "Let him in."

He Yujun brought in a bloody man, and handed the thing tightly held in that man's hand to Yan Huaiyin.

It was a handkerchief with something wrapped in it.The handkerchief was white and already dirty, Yan Huaiyin put it on his lap, bit the tip of his tongue, and slowly opened it.

He saw half of a tiger talisman.

Lying quietly on his lap, what he has been looking for, half a piece of tiger talisman from the old northwestern part.

His eyes didn't stay on the tiger talisman for long, and he turned to touch the side of the tiger talisman, which seemed to be a hair that accidentally got on it.

A moment later, Yan Huaiyin stretched out his fingertips to touch it, and stared at it for a long, long time.

He could instantly recognize that the corpse on the city wall was not Jiang Lian, and he could also recognize at a glance that this hair belonged to Jiang Lian.

Jiang Lian's hair was thicker than his, and when Yan Huaiyin touched the roots of his hair, he often felt a little prickly.

He carefully picked up the blood-stained hair and slowly pinched it in the palm of his hand.

Yan Huaiyin felt a little dizzy, white lights flashed in front of his eyes, but he still kept his voice calm and looked at the dying little eunuch lying on the ground.

Yan Huaiyin wanted to drink tea and press it, but his hands were shaking too much, so he gave up, hid his hands in his sleeves, and asked softly, "Jiang Yang, where is your master?"

A cry came, and Jiang Yang managed to raise his head, choked up and said: "Sir, sir, my condolences, my master..."

"He's gone!"
