Inside the house, Fu Yun stood by the window sill with his hands behind his back, looking at the floating clouds in the sky, as if he was waiting for something.It was almost noon and the sun was shining outside.The golden sunlight sprinkled on his fair face through the gaps between the branches of the trees outside the house, casting a hazy golden light on his face.

He looked out of the window in a daze, as if a cloud of mist had gathered in his amber eyes, which were no longer as clear and bright as before.

Ever since he inexplicably appeared on the outskirts of Lincheng that day, he has become strange.There seemed to be a force in his heart urging him to do something.However, he thought for a long time, but couldn't remember what it was.But his intuition told him that this incident must have something to do with him at night.

He must be planning something at night, but for some reason, he had to temporarily put this plan on hold.But he couldn't let it go, so he gradually accumulated a wave of anxiety in his heart.Over time, this anxiety grew, even affecting him during the day.

What exactly is "he" planning to hide from him?

Fu Yun's eyelashes trembled, and his lips pursed subconsciously.

At this time, there was a familiar sound of footsteps outside the house.Fu Yun recovered from his contemplation, adjusted his mood, showed a relaxed expression, and turned around.

The door of the house was pushed open with a squeak, and Xuan Jing, who was covered in food and looked somewhat embarrassed, hurried in, followed by Xiao Qiuzi.He had a mournful face, cursing in his mouth: "The goddamn Luo Haoyu dared to treat His Highness like this, it's simply too abominable. My poor Highness, this is provoking someone!"

Xuan Jing stopped, turned to Xiao Qiuzi and said, "Go out and watch at the door, don't let anyone approach the house."

"Ah?" Xiao Qiuzi was stunned, "But Your Highness..." The words that he wanted to stay and change Xuan Jing's clothes later were swallowed by Xuan Jing's stern gaze.

"Yes." He gave Xuan Jing a sad look, obediently left the room and closed the door.

Inside the house, after Xiaoqiuzi left, Xuan Jing took off his coat and boots that were full of greasy food, and walked to the closet with bare feet to find some clean clothes to change into.

Fu Yun glanced at Xuanjing's bare feet, took out a pair of brand new boots from the wooden box on the side of the room, walked to Xuanjing's side, and handed them over: "Why are you in such a mess?"

Xuan Jing, who had already changed his clothes, took the boots and said while putting them on: "There is no way, a madman can only communicate with people in this way."

Fu Yun's heart tightened: "Then what is his answer?"

"This Luo Youlan is really a fake." Xuan Jing put on his boots, his eyes were piercing.If it was true, Luo Haoyu wouldn't say that the food was unpalatable, and even pour all the food on him.

Fu Yun's heart rose instantly: "So, if you keep her by our side, wouldn't you be in danger?" Thinking of this, Fu Yun's face immediately became sad.

Xuan Jing walked to the table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of herbal tea, and said with a smile, "Isn't Xiao Yun by my side protecting me?"

Seeing that Xuan Jing was still in the mood to joke at this time, Fu Yun felt helpless and anxious: "Although we are often together, we will inevitably part ways. If she takes advantage of this opportunity, what should I do?"

In the early years, he followed his uncle He Qian in the barracks and was used to hearing rumors of the enemy's spies sneaking into the master's account, poisoning, assassination, and spying on news, and he was very afraid of such people.The more he thought about it, the more worried he became, as if Xuan Jing would be murdered by that woman the next moment.

"No, I can't take this risk." Fu Yun looked at Xuanjing without blinking, and was very tough once in a while.

"Since I dared to let her stay by my side, I have already made all the preparations. Xiao Yun doesn't have to worry." Xuan Jing stood up funny, and raised his hand to rub Fu Yun's tender face.

Fu Yun grabbed his hands in a hurry: "Xuan Jing!"

"Don't worry, I will let Xiao Qiuzi keep an eye on her." Xuan Jing comforted her.What's more, in addition to Xiaoqiuzi, he also put an ant brother on "Luo Youlan", who can grasp every move of "Luo Youlan" at any time, no matter how she behaves as a demon, she can't get out of his palm.However, he doesn't plan to tell Fu Yun about his special function for the time being, and he plans to tell him when the time is right in the future.

Seeing that Fu Yun was still worried, Xuan Jing put away his smirk and put on a serious expression, "Don't you believe me?"

Fu Yun's eyes flickered, and the arm holding Xuan Jing slowly tightened, without replying.He naturally believed in Xuan Jing, but he didn't dare to risk Xuan Jing's life.The more you care about, the more you fear losing.He will never forget the pain of his family being killed when he was eight years old.He didn't dare, and he didn't want to experience the despair of losing his loved ones again.

But, how should he say this to Xuan Jing?It was hard for him to say, so he had to bow his head in silence.

Xuan Jing was thinking about the next plan in his mind, but he didn't notice Fu Yun's strangeness.Only when he was convinced by himself.He let go of Fu Yun and sat down at the table: "Some of the evidence we collected before can prove that the destruction of the eight counties is indeed tricky, and it is inseparable from the sheriff and others. But this evidence is far from Not enough. More evidence is needed to identify everyone involved in this matter. And this evidence is the key to this case."

"The county guard, the relevant evidence must have been destroyed. Fortunately, Luo Haoyu has their handle, so we don't need to waste time to continue searching for evidence. We just need to wait for Luo Haoyu's daughter, Luo Youlan, to show up and hand over the evidence. .”

Fu Yun restrained his emotions reluctantly, frowned and said, "You mean the real Luo Youlan is also in the county?"

"Yes, have you forgotten the person who threw the stone yesterday?"

Fu Yun was startled: "Her?"

Xuan Jing smiled slowly: "Yeah. Luo Youlan is the daughter of an official. She stays in the mansion on weekdays and sees no outsiders. The only person who can recognize her at a glance is herself, her father Luo Haoyu, and only the servants of the Luo mansion. And Yun The county was in disaster, Luo Haoyu was imprisoned, and everyone in the Luo family died or fled. There are only a handful of people who can persist in the county and wait for Luo Haoyu. And since Luo Haoyu asked us to find his daughter, it shows that Luo Youlan is indeed It was hidden in the county town. In this way, it is not difficult to guess that the person who threw the stone was Luo Youlan herself."

Fu Yun was thoughtful: "It seems that the real Luo Youlan actually showed up yesterday and saw us. It was only when we saw us with the fake Luo Youlan that we couldn't hide and warned us in this way. "

"Yes! So we just need to wait with peace of mind. Besides, we are looking at what kind of tricks the fake Luo Youlan is trying to pull off, and maybe we can find unexpected surprises along the way." Xuan Jing's lips curled into a playful smile.

Mentioning the fake Luo Youlan, Fu Yun's expression darkened again.

***

The courtyard where Fu Yun and Xuan Jing stayed as servants was peaceful.

In the small room in the corner of the courtyard, Luo Youlan's eyelashes trembled slightly on the bed, and the little ant lying on her forehead was frightened, and hurriedly crawled into her bun.Luo Youlan, who was gradually waking up, let out a moan and opened her eyes.After drinking the medicine, she fell into a drowsy sleep.After one night, my body was sweating, but my condition improved a lot.She sat up slowly, rubbed her forehead, saw that a bowl of porridge was cold on the table in the room, she couldn't help chuckling.

Sure enough, men have never been on guard against beautiful women.Luo Youlan raised her hand and touched her face, smiling ironically.

She got out of bed and changed into clothes, came to the door of Fu Yun and Xuan Jing's room, put on a gentle and amiable expression and knocked on the door. "Dong dong dong—" After a knock on the door, there was no movement in the room.

Luo Youlan frowned slightly, and knocked again, but there was still no response.She thought for a while, then pushed the door open and entered the house.Sure enough, there was no one in the house.

Where did they all go this morning?Luo Youlan was puzzled.But thinking of her future plans, a gentle and dignified smile appeared on her face again.She scanned the room, and her beautiful eyes lit up when she saw the clothes hanging on the hangers.

Next, Luo Youlan turned into a virtuous and virtuous woman, washed the clothes for Fu Yun and Xuan Jing, and hung them on the drying line in the backyard to dry.Seeing that it was almost time for lunch, she came to the small kitchen in the yard again and cooked a pot of sweet millet porridge by herself.

Looking at the sticky and fragrant millet porridge cooked on the stove, Luo Youlan showed a satisfied smile.He deftly picked up the spoon and poured the rice porridge into a bowl, and brought it to the stone table in the middle of the courtyard.A faint fragrance instantly spread throughout the yard.

The little red chicken, who had just returned from replenishing the spiritual power of the dragon scale, smelled the aroma, and his mouth was watering.It fluttered its small wings and quickly crossed the courtyard wall to the courtyard. When it saw the two bowls of porridge on the stone table, its two big eyes instantly became bright.It cheered, and a fierce one pierced towards one of the bowls of porridge.

Unexpectedly, before she got close, she was blown away by a purple gauze sleeve.With a thud, it fell to the ground not far from the stone table.It raised its head angrily, only to find a beautiful woman standing by the table.The woman was staring at it with disgust.

"Where did the wild birds come from, go and go, go far away." Luo Youlan stood in front of the white porridge, and yelled at the little red chicken.

It was the first time for the little red chicken to be treated like this, and the fur on the top of its head exploded with anger.The anger made it lose its mind, and it completely forgot Xuanjing's warning that it was not allowed to speak in front of people: "You...!"

"Little Egg?" A deep and coercive voice sounded in the yard, interrupting the little red chicken.

Knowing who it was, the little red chicken regained consciousness in an instant, covering its mouth with its small wings in fright.Luo Youlan on the side didn't have time to pay attention to it, and in a blink of an eye she showed a gentle smile to the person who came: "Little egg? This name is really cute. Is it a pet raised by two benefactors?"

The people who came were Xuan Jing and Fu Yun who had changed back into servant clothes.After the two approached, Fu Yun leaned over and hugged the little red chicken a little coldly, ignoring Luo Youlan.Xuan Jing explained with a smile: "Yeah, I picked it up on the road, and it looked cute so I took it with me." He said, his eyes glanced at the little red chicken.

The little red chicken huddled in Fu Yun's arms shuddered, calling it unlucky.
