Chapter 174 Arresting people in the middle of the night

The words "Yueliang City" successfully reminded Ye Anyian of the time he went to Anxing County to select a location for his shop two years ago.

　　That time, Mr. Wen took them to a teahouse to listen to a storyteller. The storyteller temporarily changed the storybook, and it was about the breakup between the prince and his best friend in Yueliang City. He remembered it clearly.

　　He also saw a person who looked like Liu Zhuo in Anxing County. At that time, he thought it was a dazzle, but now that he thinks about it, I'm afraid it was.

　　Hearing Liu Zhuo mention it again, Ye Anyian did not answer his words, but looked at the person sitting opposite him without saying a word.

　　Liu Zhuo was now wearing a turquoise brocade robe with silver inlays on the hem and a jingle ring around his waist. The hairpin on his tied up hair was a jade crown and silver hairpin. This attire and status were completely different from those in the past. .

　　Seeing that he didn't speak, Liu Zhuo urged: "How about it? Have you thought about it?"

　　"If you have anything to say, just say it here, why bother running to Yueliang City again." Ye Anyian said.

　　Liu Zhuo fiddled with the tea leaves in the teacup with the lid: "Seeing is believing. I'm so empty-mouthed, and you want to accuse me of lying to you."

　　"You insist on telling me, then just say it. It's up to me whether you believe it or not."

　　Seeing Ye Anyian's unmoved look, Liu Zhuo also knew that it would not be easy to convince him. He thought for a while and said: "The lives of more than a hundred people in the Xu Mansion in Anxing County; the lives of more than a thousand innocent people in Yueliang City." My life is all in his hands. Brother Nian, do you really want to live with such a person?"

　　"Why not? It's already been three years." Ye Anyian smiled.

　　"You..." Liu Zhuo choked and became a little annoyed.

　　He secretly clenched his fists, glared at Ye Anian and said, "Do you think he treats you sincerely? People like him always do things for a purpose! Did you know that he has arranged for people to secretly follow you along the way? Follow and monitor your every move!"

　　"He sent someone to follow me secretly?" Ye Anyian was a little surprised.

　　Seeing his expression, Liu Zhuo thought he was shaken, so he kept saying: "That's natural. He is someone who dares to betray even the prince. Do you think you can defeat him?"

　　"I can't fight," Ye Anyian shook his head and chuckled, "I can't fight any of you."

　　After a moment of silence, he raised his head and glanced at Liu Zhuo: "I will go to Yueliang City with you, but you must promise to take me to Kyoto to find him when you come back."

　　Seeing that he agreed, Liu Zhuo breathed a sigh of relief: "That's natural. You and I are from the same hometown after all, and I will never lie to you."

　　Ye Anyian said nothing more, stood up and walked away.

　　Liu Zhuo watched his back disappear around the corner of the stairs, and his fisted hands suddenly relaxed.

　　"Hmph, I thought they were more affectionate than Jin Jian, but that's all."

　　Thinking about this time when he went back to Tianshui Town to block Ye Annian, I don't know what happened. He clearly led people to guard the official road outside Tianshui Town to block people, but he didn't even block anyone.

　　Thinking that Ye Annian left first, he led his people to chase him along the official road until they found Danzhou, and finally asked him to meet him.

　　However, fortunately, he persuaded the person and it was not in vain for him to travel all the way.

　　Otherwise, he wouldn't know how to deal with that person.

　　…

After leaving the teahouse, Zhang Lu was waiting for him at the door.

　　Seeing Ye Anyian coming out, he hurriedly stepped forward: "My boss, are you okay?"

　　Ye Anyian shook his head: "Go back to the inn."

　　The two returned to the inn where they were staying together. Not long after returning to the room, someone knocked on the door and asked Ye Anyian to pack his things and prepare to leave.

　　Ye Anian did not agree: "I'm really tired after traveling for more than ten days. Let's go tomorrow morning."

　　After saying that, he closed the door directly and went back to the bed to rest.

　　The man had no choice but to go back and recover.

　　Liu Zhuo didn't have any objections. He and his men were all at the inn. Ye Anian brought a driver with him, so he probably couldn't escape.

　　Tomorrow morning tomorrow morning, it just so happens that he can also have a day off.

　　I don't know if it was because he finally had peace of mind, but Ye Anian finally had some appetite in the evening and wanted to eat hot and sour vermicelli. Zhang Lumian ran out and walked through most of the prefecture before buying a bowl.

　　But when he bought it back, Ye Anian looked at the bowl of vermicelli, but he didn't want to eat it. He always felt it had a strange smell.

　　Zhang Lu saw that he was still moving his chopsticks and asked, "Master, why don't you eat?"

　　Ye Annian couldn't bear to see the cautious look on his face and the beads of sweat hanging on his forehead.

　　"Here you go." After sniffing, he picked up the chopsticks and started eating slowly.

　　Zhang Lu felt relieved now. Along the way, his boss ate less than a kitten, and they had to rush around every day. They were really afraid that his boss would not be able to hold on.

　　Ye Anyian couldn't eat more than half of the bowl. He always felt sour in his stomach and very uncomfortable, so he asked for hot water to wash up and planned to rest early.

　　Unexpectedly, as soon as he washed his face, his stomach was churning, and he couldn't help but vomited while holding the basin.

　　Zhang Lu was resting on the couch outside and ran in quickly when he heard the sound.

　　They saw Ye Anyian's face was pale, he was sitting on the side with his head propped up on the table, and a pile of freshly eaten noodles was spat out in the basin.

　　Zhang Lu quickly called the waiter to come in and clean up, while he helped Ye Anyian pour some warm water to rinse his mouth.

　　While patting his back, he said worriedly: "My boss, I'm afraid you are not sick. I'll call the doctor to take a look."

　　As he said this, he went out to find the doctor, but Ye Anyian grabbed him: "I'm fine."

　　"But..." Zhang Lu looked embarrassed. His boss didn't seem to be okay at all.

　　"At least not tonight." Ye An said in a young voice, "I'll just drink some water and press it down. I may have caught a cold from running on the road. You can go back to sleep."

　　After he finished speaking, he went back to the couch and lay down. Zhang Lu had no choice but to go back outside and rest.

　　When the candle light was blown out, the room became as quiet as water.

Ye Anqing closed his eyes gently, but his ears were very alert to listen to the sounds in the room.

However, he waited for a long time, until Zhang Lu, who was sleeping outside, began to snore, and there was no other sound.

　　Could it be that he really made a wrong bet?

　　In my wild thoughts, suddenly...

　　He heard a rustling sound outside.

　　"who?!"

　　He whispered, and at the same time polished the fire seal in his hand, quickly got out of bed, and ran in the direction of the sound.

　　Fortunately, he moved quickly enough, and the man bent his body and was about to jump out of the window.

　　Such a big movement naturally made Zhang Lu quarrel. He reacted very quickly. He rushed forward and grabbed the man's arm. He held on tightly and opened his mouth to shout "catch the thief".

　　Ye Anyian hurried up and covered Zhang Lu's mouth.

　　Zhang Lu:...

　　He was still holding the thief with both hands, but his boss was covering his mouth?

　　Zhang Lu was speechless and blinked at Ye Anian in confusion.

　　Could it be that my boss is sick and stupid?

　　"Don't shout." Ye Anyian whispered, "He is not a thief, nor a bad person."

　　What's that? Sneaking in through their room window at night, isn't he a bad person?

　　Zhang Lu didn't understand, but Ye Annian said so. He felt that his boss must know what he knew, so he nodded.

　　Ye Anian then let go and reached out to grab the man dressed in black who sneaked in.

　　He pulled the person into the inner room and sat down. Only then did Zhang Lu see that the person was not tall and thin, half a head shorter than his boss.

　　Ye Annian sat down and lit the candlestick with a fire stick.

　　The dim candlelight reflected on the man's face. He turned out to be a young man, about eighteen or nineteen years old.

　　Zi Mo sat on the chair in the room, still confused.

　　He didn't expect that he would be caught by Ye Anyian and the others.

　　During the day, he heard the conversation between Ye Annian and Liu Zhuo in the teahouse while hiding in the dark, and was extremely anxious.

　　That green-clad man didn't look like a good guy at first glance, and he definitely had bad intentions when he encouraged his young master to go to that damn place in Yueliang City.

　　But unfortunately, his young master agreed. How can this be good?

　　There was no reply to the letter sent to Bai Hezhai, and he himself couldn't make up his mind. If Shaojun was really allowed to go away with the bad guy, and something happened, his master would definitely kill him.

　　After thinking about it all day, Zimo used his lifelong wisdom to come up with what he thought was a good idea.

　　He impersonated Jiang Zhu's handwriting and wrote a letter to advise Ye Annian not to go to Yueliang City. Then he sneaked in quietly in the middle of the night and put the letter on the table.

　　Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished releasing the letter, he was caught.

　　Ye Annian looked at the boy's childish face illuminated by candlelight. He always felt that it looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

　　He stared at the young man, and the young man stared at him a little confused.

　　After a moment, Ye Anqing laughed: "Are you the one Jiang Zhu sent to monitor me?"

　　Zimo was stunned for a moment when he heard his question, and then nodded quickly.

　　After nodding, he figured out the problem behind Ye Anyian's words, and shook his head like a rattle, "No. It's not surveillance, it's protection."

Ye Anyian said "hmm": "Then what's your name?"

　　"Zi Mo." Zi Mo replied.

　　Ye Annian was very satisfied with his attitude of answering questions and touched the fake beard on his chin.

　　"In that case, you must know where Jiang Zhu is. How about taking me to find him?"

　　Zimo didn't expect that Ye Anyian would make such a request, and was stunned for a moment.

　　that's all? Regardless of his identity and background, why did he break in in the middle of the night?

　　"Why, can't it?"

　　Seeing Zi Mo not speaking, Ye Annian frowned.

　　"Of course!" Zimo agreed quickly.

　　He was worried that Ye Anyian would run away, but now it was better, the problem seemed to be solved all at once.

　　At this moment, Zhang Lu came in from outside with a letter and handed it to Ye Anian.

　　She leaned into his ear and whispered: "Master Ye, this boy just posted this letter. I don't know what it said."

　　Ye Anian nodded and was about to open the letter. Zi Mo suddenly became nervous.

　　"...Don't!"

　　However, it was too late. Ye Anyian opened the letter and saw the densely packed words on the paper.

　　The handwriting is indeed very similar to Jiang Zhu's, but the tone is completely different.

　　In short, it's fake at first glance.

　　Ye Annian's eyes narrowed in laughter as he read the letter, which was every word urging him not to go with Liu Zhuo.

　　This kid is kind of cute.

　　"Young... Young Lord," Zi Mo's face turned red, "I, I'm just afraid that you will be deceived by bad people. Then the master will beat me to death."

　　Ye Annian raised his eyebrows: "What did you call me?"

　　"Young Master." Zi Mo looked at him steadily, his eyes still a little innocent, "Master asked me to call you that, isn't it okay?"

　　"Okay." Ye Anian curled his lips, "Zi Mo, can you tell me where Jiang Zhu is now?"

　　"Baihezhai." Zimo said honestly, "It's on Baiyun Mountain on the outskirts of Kyoto. Shall we leave tomorrow morning?"

　　But Ye Anyian shook his head: "Let's leave now without waiting for tomorrow morning."
