Sweet as candy

"Young Master Xiao, it's time for dinner."

The people outside the door came in with a food table, Xiao Lang didn't even raise his head, he just said something and put it there.

The room was quiet again, he picked up the pen and added a stroke to the last page of the book.

25 strokes.

Although those guarding him were ordered not to pass on any news from outside to him, fortunately, three meals a day would still be delivered on time.

Following the rules, Xiao Lang added a sum to this book every day to calculate how long he had been trapped underground.

Counting the previous days, more than two months have passed since the day he was brought out of Haoran City.

The day of the martial arts conference is getting closer and closer, and I can no longer spend time with Yannan.

On that day, Yannan returned the good name to let him go out, but he was actually worried that his body would become weak due to being imprisoned for too long, as the doctor said.

Even though there were heavy guards, he still couldn't let go of his heart, so someone tied Xiao Lang's hands, blindfolded him and led him to walk around the courtyard twice.

"The sun outside is too strong." He explained with a chuckle next to Xiao Lang's ear, as if he was really thinking of him: "Brother Xiao hasn't seen the sun for a long time, and suddenly you are exposed to such a strong light, your eyes will be irritated." Weeping."

With a gentle and lingering tone, Xiao Lang felt as if he was in an ice cave.

I am not a mouse in the gutter, so how could I be willing to be trapped in this place where the dawn will never be seen.

But as long as Yan Nanhui is still willing to listen to the old doctor's opinion, it will be a good start.

This kind of behavior of taking the cat out to bask in the sun is not common, and every time Yan Nanhui does it himself.He seemed to have a lot of things to deal with, and he didn't come to see Xiao Lang every day, which gave Xiao Lang a lot of time to calm down and think.

He has gradually figured out the pattern of Yannan's return here.Usually once every three days, if he came back early and the sun had not set outside, he would drag himself out for a walk.If he came late, he ignored Xiao Lang's indifferent expression and ignored the deliberate silence to accompany him to eat together.

The play that day was effective, the amount of medicine in the food was reduced a lot, Xiao Lang's dantian's true energy gradually recovered, although it was still weak, it was much better than the previous situation where his hands and feet were weak.

Now, only the last key is missing.

One, the key to the smooth progress of the whole plan.

The downpour continued to hit the ground, and in the cold and narrow alleys, the tarpaulins propped up above the vendors' heads were forced by the rain to rattle.

Mu Yunyi was sitting quietly in an old tea house, with one hand resting lightly on her knee, looking sideways through the rain curtain outside the window.

A group of people walked from the end of the alley at a leisurely pace, as if the mood was not affected at all by the hellish weather.

The old stairs made a creaking sound because they were overwhelmed, and the leader turned and smiled at the restaurant owner: "Shopkeeper, your stairs should be repaired."

The second floor was full of people, all of them gathered together and whispered in secret.Seeing such a large group of people coming up, only a few turned their heads slightly, paused for a moment, and then turned to talk about their own affairs.

Several people walked along the door of the private room one by one, and stopped in front of the door of the last room.

Someone opened the door for the leader, and saw a person sitting by the window inside, looking up at his master questioningly.

Mu Yunyi's dark eyes swept over: "If you are worried that I will play tricks, you can bring your men along."

The leader laughed lightly: "Naturally, you must be sincere when negotiating with others."

"Ah Gui, you wait outside."

After the door closed, Mu Yunyi raised his hand and poured a cup of tea for the person opposite: "I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"It's you who released the news in the dark market?" The fourth prince looked up and down at the person in front of him, his face was pale, he was dressed in black, and there was an old bamboo hat hanging on his back.

"What's your name?"

"Your Excellency doesn't need to know about these insignificant matters." Mu Yunyi said lightly: "It's only been a few days since my news was released, and your Excellency immediately heard the news, which shows how much you care about the news about that Mr. Yan. I think we should avoid it." It’s better to get directly to the topic with those wasteful politeness in words.”

"Shuangkuai." The Fourth Prince smiled and said, "I just like doing business with Shukuai people."

Then, he straightened his body, and put away the smile on his face: "But how do I know, is that Young Master Yan you're talking about the person I'm looking for?"

"If you are familiar with Mr. Yan, you will definitely be able to recognize what belongs to him." Mu Yunyi said: "I have something here, and you will know it when you look at it."

"But before that, I want to make a condition to the young master."

The other party probably didn't expect him to be so confident that he dared to put forward the so-called conditions before he even expressed his attitude, and smiled playfully: "Let's listen to it."

"I have a friend who was kept by Mr. Yan as a guest in the mansion by unscrupulous means." Mu Yunyi said: "I hope to cooperate with you to bring my friend back after finding out Mr. Yan's whereabouts."

Oh, it turns out that it is controlled by others.

The corner of the fourth prince's lips curled up, and the initiative returned to him immediately: "Oh? So, you don't know his whereabouts. With just a few words, you want my people to work for you. The deal doesn't seem fair."

Mu Yunyi raised her eyes and looked at him squarely: "Although I don't know his whereabouts yet, I can help you find him."

"This thing in my hand will not only allow you to identify whether the person I'm talking about is the one in your heart, but it will also give you an important clue to follow along."

The fourth prince narrowed his eyes slightly: "You are quite sure."

"If I'm not sure, how dare I go to the appointment alone." Mu Yunyi calmly said, "The people outside are all the young master's people. How about it?"

"Deal." The fourth prince stopped probing: "Take out the things and let me have a look."

Mu Yunyi took out a stack of square notes, and opened them in front of the other party: "Mr. Yan's handwriting, I think you can see it at a glance."

The fourth prince took the note, and Mu Yunyi continued: "The address above is an old house he bought. The people in the government have checked the land deed, and everything is normal. But I believe that with your son's ability, there is absolutely a solution Find out who bought the old house for him."

The fourth prince chuckled, and looked up at the young man in front of him.

What the government can't do, pin their hopes on himself, he must have known his identity: "Do you know, who are you going to help me deal with?"

Involved in the royal battle, one mistake will bring the crime of implicating the whole family. He must know whether this person is ready to face it.

"I said, I just want to pick up my friend."

"How so, he agreed?"

As soon as the conversation here was over, Xue Shiji over there sneaked in from the outside like a ghost.

'"accepted."

"So smooth?" Xue Shiji sat across from him, "Fortunately, brother Xiao left this piece of paper, otherwise I really don't know what to do. But you are so courageous that you even thought of cooperating with his fourth brother." If you have an idea, you are not afraid of black people, are you?"

"The people who came back to Yan Nan must be related to those forces in the imperial court. It may be many years later when we find Xiao Lang just by our own exploration."

"An enemy's enemy is a friend. One more person to deal with Yan Nanhui is exactly what he wanted." The heavy rain outside the window finally stopped, and the sun penetrated the clouds.Mu Yunyi paused every word, and declared war on Yan Nanhui who was nowhere at this time: "I said, in order to get Xiao Lang back, I will do whatever it takes."
