Jiaochu

Chapter 112 Birthday Celebrations Upstairs ([-])
Sun Wu's tightly clenched fists clenched, and the veins on his forehead popped out, "How does the general know these things?"

Qin Xin smiled and said, "Because there was one person left alive that night. This person happened to be the spy I sent there. He was also very lucky. He was born with his heart on the right side. Otherwise, he would have met the King of Hell long ago. He is really not as good as God. Calculate."

"Impossible, the one who was trapped back then was" Qin Min sneered and interrupted Sun Wu's words, "Is he the eldest brother? Didn't General Sun ever hear a sentence, people's hearts are separated from each other, so what about brothers, in the face of fame and wealth, those who have the same interests We are called brothers, the rest are stumbling blocks, and if they are stumbling blocks, they have to be kicked away. People all want to climb higher, but sadly, they find that no matter how hard they try, they will always be shrouded in the shadow of another person. I must have thought countless times in my heart, It would be better if this person didn’t exist.”

Sun Wu was stunned and didn't speak. The stormy waves in his heart seemed to have swallowed up his reason.

"A good bird chooses a tree to roost in. My brother has died unjustly. Do you, the younger brother, have to take another life for the Yan family?" Qin Yin said.

Sun Wu tightened his face and said nothing.

"I heard that Mr. Feng passed away a few days ago." Qin Min said calmly.

Sun Wu's heart pounded and he was almost unsteady, and finally sat down slowly holding on to the edge of the table.

Qin Min raised the wine bowl and gestured to Sun Wu, drank it all in one gulp, "General Sun will give me an answer after he thinks about it clearly." After saying this, he walked away.

Sun Wu looked at the bowl of wine in front of him, his eyes gradually became cold and stern, sinking deeper and deeper, as if he had sunk to the bottom of the bowl.

The north wind blew most of the night last night, and the weather was a bit cooler. The fish in the koi pond didn't like to move any more. Ye Lingxi stared at the empty water in a daze.

"Lingxi, you are here, I was planning to go over to find you~" Ye Xingye walked over excitedly, wearing a slightly thicker brocade, and his whole face was rosy, which immediately contrasted with the bleak autumn atmosphere around him.

After looking around, Ye Xingye whispered: "Didn't you say you wanted to visit Yanfei's third uncle two days ago? Hu Yuhan's uncle happens to be on duty today. No one will notice if we come back early."

Ye Lingxi explained this to Lingdang and Hehe, and then followed Ye Xingye away.Halfway through, Ye Xingye suddenly stopped and turned around to look at the clothes Ye Lingxi was wearing. He shook his head and said it was too obvious. Then he took her back to his palace and asked Xiaoluzi to find a suitable men's clothing for Ye Lingxi to change into. Xiao Luzi searched for all the clothes at the bottom of the box, took out a set of clothes that Ye Xingye wore when he was four or five years old and gave Ye Lingxi to change into.

After coming out of Ganquan Palace, the two walked for a while, saw a figure, and hurriedly hid behind the rockery.By chance, another person came from behind and clearly saw the two hiding. Seeing Xiao Yun, who was wearing a crane-feather cloak, walking over, they both squeezed in.

Xiao Yun went over and said a few words to Ye Lingjue, and the two of them walked in the other direction.

Ye Xingye thought Xiao Yun didn't see her at all, but Ye Lingxi felt that the other party had lured her second brother away, but the other party didn't seem to be a nosy person, so she gave it up after thinking about it. After all, she wasn't very good at all. To understand this person, it is better to wait and see what happens instead of thinking about it.

Hu Yuhan's uncle Zheng Hua is a captain in the Forbidden Army. He looks like he is in his late forties. He speaks cheerfully and generously, with a rough and smooth tone.

Seeing Ye Xingye coming over, Zheng Hua smiled and asked him to come back early. He didn't ask any more questions. He simply looked at Ye Lingxi, who was disguised as a man, and led the two of them through the palace gate with ease. After the two left, , he called over a confidant and asked the other person to inform His Highness the Second Highness that the Third Highness had taken the little princess out of the palace, so that the Second Highness would have an idea and they would pretend they didn't know anything.

After leaving the palace and arriving on the street, Ye Xingye realized belatedly that he had no idea where Yan Fei and his third uncle lived now, and it was difficult to ask passers-by. How could he directly ask them, "The one who was evicted from the General's Mansion?" Where did the young general go when he left home?"

Ye Lingxi thought about it for a moment and didn't know which street or alley he was living in or the small yard in. He couldn't look for it one by one. There were hundreds of streets and alleys in the capital. Even if he could find him with just two pairs of feet, he couldn't find him one by one. You may not be able to finish the search in one day or one night.

The two of them sat at a tea stall on the roadside, looking a little worried at the passing pedestrians and horses.

"Why don't you go to the General's Mansion and ask?" Ye Xingye suggested.Ye Lingxi held her face in her hands and said, "Family scandals should not be made public. Let's go to the house and ask, aren't we afraid of being kicked out with a broom?"

Ye Xingye thought about it and sighed melancholy.

"You are so young, why are you sighing?"

The two raised their heads. Shen Ning stood in front of them gracefully, waving a folding fan. He looked at Ye Lingxi, who was dressed as a woman and a man, and winked at her, as if to say: Don't worry, brother won't talk nonsense.

Ye Lingxi: "..."

Seeing Shen Ning, Ye Xingye stood up from the stool as if he had seen a savior, excitedly called Brother Shen, and quietly asked him if he knew where Yan Fei's third uncle lived now. Shen Ning said that he was If you want to go there, you don’t mind bringing two of you with you.

On the way, Shen Ning bought two more jars of good wine as a meeting gift, and Ye Lingxi also bought two boxes of snacks with her own money, carrying one for herself and giving the other to her third brother.Seeing how sensible the little imperial sister was, Ye Xing was extremely moved in his ambition.

The two of them followed Shen Ning into an alley, then turned into another alley, and walked all the way to the end. The small house at the end was their destination.

White walls, gray tiles, and a wooden door concealed a tranquil area. A tabby cat turned its head and took a look, then continued lazily lying on the wall to bask in the sun.

Ye Xingye slurped twice to make the tabby cat look back, but the cat ignored him at all. He walked over quietly, but before he got close, the tabby cat raised its ears alertly and swooped away.

At this time, the door was also opened, and Yan Fei came out. He was slightly startled when he saw Ye Lingxi, and Ye Lingxi was also a little surprised.

After entering, Ye Lingxi saw a scene like this: Yanjiang was chopping firewood with an axe, and Xiniang was feeding the chickens while sprinkling grains.

Shen Ning handed two jars of good wine to Yan Fei and watched with interest as they chopped firewood and fed the chickens. Ye Xingye also gave Yan Fei a box of snacks he was carrying and ran over to watch them chop firewood. Fei reached out and took another box of cakes from Ye Lingxi's hand, and took Ye Lingxi into the house first.

The furnishings in the room are very ordinary, just tables, chairs and benches. There are no jade or antiques. There is only a white porcelain vase by the window with seasonal chrysanthemums in it. It is simple and warm.

After putting everything on the table, Yan Fei picked up the teapot on the table and poured a glass of water to Ye Lingxi. After a moment of silence, he said, "You must have heard about the third uncle, right?" There was a hint of water in his voice. There was a bit of hesitation and he seemed a bit embarrassed.

Ye Lingxi hummed, picked up the cup and took a sip of water.

The room was silent for a while, and Yan Fei said, "I don't think Third Uncle did anything wrong." This time there was no hesitation or embarrassment in his voice.

Ye Lingxi snorted, "Uncle did nothing wrong. As time goes by, people's hearts will change. When my grandfather sees how good Sister Xiniang is, he won't object anymore."

This time Yan Fei hummed and his eyebrows relaxed.
