The short-lived ghost of the Xie family has lived a long life

Chapter 451 You Guess
Xie Zhifei was drunk.

He was so drunk that he didn't even have the energy to lose his temper and collapsed directly in the carriage.

With such a ghostly appearance, Pei Xiao didn't dare to send the person to Xie's house, so he simply sent him to the other courtyard where Yan San lived. The courtyard on the left and right was empty, and there was a decent person like Tang Yuan waiting on him.

The carriage rocked so hard that Xie Zhifei felt sick to his stomach. As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he vomited all the wine.

After vomiting, I became more comfortable and fell asleep with my head on the pillow.

Dreams came one after another, including random things. He even dreamed of his grandfather killing an enemy on the battlefield and cutting off an enemy's head with one knife.

Xie Zhifei was frightened and woke up.

He got up, reached for a cup of cold tea, fell on the bed again, and continued to sleep.

Asleep, as he slept, a thought struck his mind like lightning.

Where is the Zheng family?
From the perspective of his father Zheng Huantang, no, it should be from the perspective of his grandfather Zheng Yu. Why should he send his biological granddaughter to Shuiyue An to exchange for a baby whose origin is unknown?

Xie Zhifei was shocked all over.

There is only one possibility - this baby has a special identity.

In order to protect her, the grandfather had to reluctantly send his granddaughter away, had to wrong his youngest son, and had to let the family of four huddle in Haitang Courtyard, even if they never saw outsiders for the rest of their lives.

So, could the massacre of the Zheng family be related to this baby?
Thinking of this, Xie Zhifei was covered in cold sweat.

Then, another thought hit me like a huge wave.

Yan Sanhe analyzed that the massacre of the Zheng family must have been carried out by someone who was familiar with the war, the Forty-Nine Cities, and the imperial court.

Judging from the fact that he can support twelve killers, this person's status will only be high, not low.

So--

So even if they secretly investigate this case and find out some clues, given that person's status and means, they will find out sooner or later.

At that time, there will be another bloody storm.

What will happen to him and Pei Xiao, whether the two families will be affected, I don't care about it for now, but Yan Sanhe...

Xie Zhifei panicked, completely panicked.

His little commander-in-chief of the Five Cities Army and Horses Division couldn't protect her!

Xie Zhifei struggled to get up. He didn't even have time to put on his shoes, so he walked out barefoot.

Zhu Qing and Ding Yi who were outside were so frightened that they quickly got up from the bed and chased out, blocking each other on the left and right.

"Grandpa?"

"Third Master?"

Pei Xiao, who was in the wing opposite, heard the noise and ran out without even wearing any clothes.

"Xie Fifty, why are you making a fuss in the middle of the night?"

Xie Zhifei grabbed his wrist and said, "Mingting, what should I do, what should I do, what should I do..."

"What should I do?" Pei smiled confused.

Xie Zhifei was so anxious that his eyes were red, "I can't protect her, I can't protect her, I can't protect her..."

"Who can't you protect?"

Xie Zhifei shook his head and kept shaking.

Pei Xiao was almost knocked unconscious by him and shouted, "Say it!"

Xie Zhifei stared blankly at Pei Xiao in front of him, slumped forward, hugged little Master Pei and fell asleep.

Little Mr. Pei was so angry that he wanted to cry.

He had to wait for a drunkard in the middle of the night. He was exhausted!
……

Little Master Pei is almost exhausted, and so is Li Buyan.

The journey of less than half a month was completed in only eight days. She felt that every bone in her body was falling apart and she couldn't even put it back together.

Even worse than her was Pei Jing.

This young man with considerable medical talent didn't even frown during the second half of the process. His face was as pale as a dead man, but he gritted his teeth and didn't make a sound.

If it were Little Master Pei, his throat would be hoarse.

When we arrived at Lin'an Mansion, we went straight to the Pei family's Baiyao Hall. Taisun's people were already waiting inside.

The two of them didn't even have time to breathe, so they changed carriages and continued on their way.

The road went deeper and deeper into the shade of trees, and finally we got off the car in front of a deep house compound.

Li Buyan saw Shen Chong standing at the arched doorway at a glance.Shen Chong saw that Li Buyan was obviously stunned, but he didn't say anything and said coldly: "Come with me quickly."

The deep courtyards of Lin'an Mansion are different from those in Sijiu City. Each courtyard has different scenery, and every carving on the corridor is different.

After passing through the two courtyards, there were obviously more guards.

Li Buyan was keenly aware that even the air felt tense.

The chamberlain in gray clothes ran out and said softly, "You two are here, please come quickly."

Li Buyan followed the chamberlain into the house and saw Zhao Yishi in the heating cabinet in the east wing.

This man was wearing a singlet and sitting in front of the desk. His left hand was wrapped in gauze. There were faint blood stains on the gauze. He was holding a memorial in his right hand. He looked calm and elegant.

Hearing the movement, Zhao Yishi looked up.

The moment he saw Li Buyan, his eyes suddenly brightened.

"I never expected they would let you come."

Only then did Li Buyan realize that the man's face was not very good-looking, with a sickly air.

"Probably because I'm a troublemaker and it's less likely to make people suspicious."

"Shit stirrer?"

"The nickname that Third Master gave me."

"What's the reason?
Li Buyan pointed to the injury on his arm, "It's better to let Dr. Pei take a look at it first, and then we'll talk about it after he's finished."

Only then did Zhao Yishi glance at Pei Jing.

Pei Jing put down the medical kit and bowed respectfully to the emperor's grandson before he dared to step forward to see the wound.

Li Buyan noticed with sharp eyes that Dr. Pei's legs were trembling.

This is the timidity inherited from the Pei family!

She turned around and looked down at herself. She was disgusted by the dust all over her body.

"Come on."

"Your Highness."

"Prepare water for Miss Li and change into clean clothes."

"Yes."

Li Buyan turned around, with a breath hanging in his throat, and an expression on his face that said, "Your Highness, you must be a roundworm in my stomach."

"Go."

Zhao Yishi lowered his head and looked at the memorial in his hand again.

Li Buyan followed the waiter and took two steps forward, then suddenly turned back.

Zhao Yishi looked up. She was dressed in dust, but her eyes were bright.

"The third master said that I always ruined his good things, so he called me a troublemaker."

"What good thing did you do to him?" Zhao Yishi slowly raised his lips.

"It's not bad, he's just petty."

"Then you still listen to him and come this far?"

His eyes were also very bright, and Li Buyan looked straight at him.

"The main thing is that I want to ask Your Highness personally why you gave that box of mooncakes to me?"

At this moment, Pei Jing went to untie the last layer of gauze on Zhao Yishi's arm. When he heard this, his hand shook, and the gauze fell down by itself, revealing a hideous wound seven or eight inches long.

The wound caused by the dagger was not only long, but also deep, but not poisonous.

The assassin should have been very close to Zhao Yishi when he struck, and most likely he was disguised as a maid or infiltrated into the guards.

It's no wonder that Dr. Pei Xiao was transferred from Beijing. In this strange place, it's not easy to distinguish who is one of our own and who is the enemy.

Li Buyan looked away.

"What do you think?" Zhao Yishi asked back.

"If you can guess it, why bother asking?"

Li Buyan turned around and muttered as he walked away: "My mother gave me everything but no brain."

Zhao Yishi looked at her back with a smile in his eyes.
