Chapter 162 Foreshadowing
Li Xunchuan and Wei Xun talked for a long time, Xiong Zhenghao and Chang Yinyu were outside the door trying to eavesdrop, but found that the two of them were talking silently, and heard nothing useful.

Chang Yinyu frowned slightly, and said softly: "Last night's movement was not small, Hou Ye only said that Junior Sister left with that person alone, his heart is so big, how can you rest assured that Junior Sister is alone?"

"Si Ye is not that delicate." Xiong Zhenghao said, "I have seen Si Ye fight, and no one dares to provoke her easily just because of her posture. Besides, Master Hou can't leave Si Ye alone, you Don't worry about it."

Chang Yinyu straightened up and said, "That's the case. But didn't you say that the little junior sister was still sick before she came to see us? By the way, that Wei Xun watched for so long last night, and he didn't catch anyone."

Xiong Zhenghao raised his eyebrows: "Go and ask Lord Hou yourself."

"I don't." Chang Yinyu shook his head, Xiong Zhenghao frowned, and this expression had been maintained for several days.Chang Yinyu knew that he was always worried about Beili and Gu Zhao. Although he wanted to help make these things go quickly, he couldn't help.

When he started following Zhuo Ran, he thought that things might not go his way in the future. He knew that the person Han Congzhong liked would not be that simple, but he never thought that Zhuo Ran would be Nan Xiang, nor did he think that he would reach this step by step. the point.

Han Cong is loyal to him, so he will naturally think about it and do his best to pave the way for Zhuo Ran, but Zhuo Ran is the same as Li Yuchuan, he will not tell them many things, even if he does, it will be planned can speak.Chang Yinyu was silent for a moment, really aggrieved by this kind of concealment, but seeing Xiong Zhenghao, he felt that he was a little better than him.

"Do you have any ideas?" Chang Yinyu looked at him.

"That is to return to Beili as soon as possible." Xiong Zhenghao looked at Chang Yinyu, "Siye is Nanxiang. If Lord Hou wants to help her complete the plan, it will naturally delay time, but what can I do?"

Chang Yinyu said: "Smelly bear, you have to think about it. My little junior sister is the future emperor. If you don't care about her now, will you have a good life in the future? With Master Hou's temperament, you will definitely It's completely surrendering to Junior Sister, don't you want to do the same when the time comes, now you have complaints about Junior Sister, you should be careful in the future."

"Anyway, I don't think it will be easy for Si Ye to bring down Yan Chengxuan." Xiong Zhenghao said in a deep voice.

"It's up to man," Chang Yinyu raised his lips and smiled, "You have to take a long-term view. You have never been to Beili, so what are you doing to add the wish of Lord Hou to yourself. Besides, Yongzhou is still yours The place where brother stayed, junior sister is still half of your master, sometimes you don't need to distinguish so clearly, otherwise it will only embarrass you."

"So what if my elder brother stayed in Yongzhou?" Xiong Zhenghao turned to him and said, "I don't understand why we have trouble with Yongzhou. Familiar people, this is not very..."

"Do you think Yongzhou is still the same as before?" Chang Yinyu frowned, "You can see clearly that Yongzhou is a chaotic city now, and all of them are ancient Qiang people, and very few are refugees from Zhongqu. The people in Yongzhou have long been here. It was submerged four years ago, what are you worried about now? Will they crawl out of the ground and take your life? When is this, can you work around it?"

Xiong Zhenghao snorted lightly: "It's easy for you to say. Chang Yinyu, you have no relatives to die, and you are all alone and unrestrained. You can't understand my mood, so you have no position to say these things to me now."

"I have no relatives?" Chang Yinyu sneered, "I'm alone? Did I jump out of a rock or something? How do you know what happened to me before? You don't understand anything, do I have a position? I know it in my heart, I don’t need you to remind me.”

Xiong Zheng had never seen Chang Yinyu like this before. He was in a bad mood and said nothing, and it was really wrong to touch Chang Yinyu's wound.Xiong Zhenghao couldn't bear to apologize to him again, so he kept silent, wanting to see what Chang Yinyu would do next.

No one really knew about Chang Yinyu's past.He spent a long time in the Forbidden Army, and spent some time in the Imperial Prison. After following Zhuo Ran, he knew that Chang Yinyu had something to do with Zhuo Ran.Even if he was Han Congzhong's student, Xiong Zhenghao only knew about it after hearing Li Xunchuan mention it.But Chang Yinyu is indeed alone, he is a loner, and he has never seen anyone close to him, so he feels that he is really alone.

Chang Yinyu didn't say a word, as if he adjusted himself and recovered faster.Chang Yinyu pursed his lips: "You wait here, I'll go back and see Uncle Zhou first."

"Changgou." Xiong Zheng stopped him with his arms outstretched, "I'm a rough man who can't speak, so don't take it to heart."

Chang Yinyu clenched his lips: "Okay, after my junior sister comes back, you can buy me a good wine and make amends, otherwise I will file a complaint and you can go away by yourself."

Xiong Zhengmo nodded: "Okay."

As soon as Chang Yinyu left, Wei Xun opened the door.Xiong Zhenghao looked at Wei Xun, and Wei Xun looked inside: "Your Majesty doesn't see anyone, let's go out first."

Xiong Zhenghao was stunned for a moment, then took a step back.Wei Xun closed the door and walked out with Xiong Zhenghao.Xiong Zhenghao said, "Why didn't you follow Si Ye? What if something happens to you?"

"Master Hou and the girl said that I don't want me to follow." Wei Xun said, "This Nie Hanshan couldn't hold back. After we revealed the girl's identity, he seemed to be nothing on the surface, but secretly investigated the girl for a long time. The girl is planning to use her tricks."

"What do you mean by tricks?" Xiong Zhenghao said, "Does Zhuo Siye recognize Nie Hanshan?"

Wei Xun shook his head: "But the girl said she was sure. I found out where Nie Hanshan lived last night. Lord Hou just told me that the girl will be back soon, so I don't have to worry."

Xiong Zheng was at a loss.Wei Xun shrugged his shoulders incomprehensibly, and Xiong Zhengmo sighed. Just as he was about to ask a few more questions, Wei Xun ran forward with his eyes wide open.

Xiong Zhengmo blinked: "Si Ye..."

Zhuo Ran hurried up the stairs, Wei Xun reached out to help her, but Zhuo Ran shook his head, walked to Wei Xun's side in two or three steps, passed Xiong Zhenghao and ran to Li Yuchuan's side.

Li Xunchuan didn't know when he was there, he buried his head in Zhuo Ran's neck and hugged him full.Zhuo Ran was very cold, Li Yuchuan touched her back and smiled softly: "It's good that I'm back."

Zhuo Ran pursed her lips, Li Yanchuan held Zhuo Ran's hand and led him into the house, Zhuo Ran grabbed Li Yanchuan's fingers, turned around and ordered, "Go to Uncle Zhou first, I'll be there in a while."

Xiong Zhenghao nodded, and Wei Xun finally smiled: "Let me just say, I can definitely come back."

As soon as Li Xunchuan entered the room, he closed the door, Zhuo Ran was hugged to the side of the couch, Li Xunchuan lowered his head and kissed Zhuo Ran, and stretched out his fingers to straighten Zhuo Ran's cloak, but Zhuo Ran found his hand in his palm, Did not let him move.Zhuo Ran was warmed by the kiss, Li Yuchuan didn't want to be separated from her for a moment, so he supported her and pushed her down.

Zhuo Ran endured the tingling sensation on her lips, and Li Xunchuan didn't want to support her anymore, so he moved his hand to her chin.Zhuo Ran lay back with Li Yanchuan's waist, and only found a sense of security when she sank into the quilt.

"Are you injured?" Li Xunchuan asked in between breaths.

Zhuo Ran shook her head, Li Yanchuan lowered her head and stroked her side cheek: "Fortunately..."

Zhuo Ran smiled lightly, put his arms around Li Yanchuan's neck: "Kiss for a while, okay?"

Hearing this, Li Xunchuan bowed down.

When Zhou Yu heard that Zhuo Ran was back, he immediately wanted to find her.Xiong Zhengmo frowned, and said, "Senior, don't worry, Si Ye will be here in a while after going to change clothes."

"Is Ran'er injured?" Zhou Yu was worried that Zhuo Ran hadn't slept all night, so he was trying to hold himself up at the moment, and Wei Xun and Chang Yinyu supported him to sit on the chair.Wei Xun said softly, "Senior, don't worry, the girl is fine."

"Where's Lord Hou?" Zhou Yu frowned, looking at Xiong Zhenghao, "You invite Lord Hou here quickly."

"This..." Xiong Zhenghao thought for a while, "Master Hou will be here soon."

Zhuo Ran and Li Yuchuan entered the door at the same time.Zhou Yu wanted to step forward when he saw Zhuo Ran, but Zhuo Ran held his hand and said softly, "Uncle Zhou, I'm fine, I'm back."

Zhou Yu focused his head heavily: "It's fine if there's nothing to do, it's fine if there's nothing to do."

After finally waiting for Zhou Yu's mood to stabilize, Zhuo Ran heaved a sigh of relief.Zhou Yu felt that Zhuo Ran's hands were warm and his face looked rosy, so he was completely relieved.But last night he wanted Li Yanchuan to look at Zhuo Ran, but he didn't expect him to stop him, saying that he should follow Zhuo Ran to protect her, but now that Zhuo Ran came back, he didn't say anything.Zhou Yu frowned and looked at Li Yuchuan, the reproach in his eyes was beyond words.

Zhuo Ran could see that Zhou Yu was angry with Li Yunchuan.But she also knew that Zhou Yu wouldn't say it out. From Zhou Yu's point of view, Li Yuchuan approached Zhuo Ran purposefully. He had nothing to worry about if some things were not within his ability. He didn't have to help, anyway. How to dye has nothing to do with him.Zhou Yu didn't know what was going on, and if Zhuo Ran explained it, it might make Zhou Yu even more alienated from Li Yuchuan. She looked at Zhou Yu's expression and didn't say a word.

Although Li Yunchuan knew that Zhou Yu didn't like him very much, he didn't expect it to be so deep.This matter was discussed between him and Zhuo Ran, so Li Yanchuan sat up straight, wanting to hear what Zhuo Ran said about last night.

"Uncle Zhou." Zhuo Ran called out, "I was wrong about this matter. I asked Wei Xun to investigate Nie Hanshan, and I probably learned how he does business, so I decided last night to go to Nie Hanshan in person. one trip."

Zhou Yu nodded: "Yike and I also secretly visited Nie Hanshan. Did you make any deal with him?"

Zhuo Ran said: "Last night I went to Nie Hanshan's residence. In fact, it is another Beiyuan, but speaking of it, that place is behind Beiyuan. Nie Hanshan built a tall building to live in. The house was painted with spices, and the maids wore gold and silver. It's very extravagant. Nie Hanshan likes beautiful women. I saw that the building was full of women. Except for the man who came last night, I really didn't see any other men. It's just that the man was wearing night clothes. After taking me to the place, he left."

"Nie Hanshan is so relieved that you go up?" Chang Yinyu tilted his head, "I thought I was going to cause you some trouble."

Zhuo Ran raised her eyebrows: "He did cause me some trouble."

***
The carved window panes are covered with tulle, so you can clearly see the curling cigarettes in the house, and the door scenery is exquisitely carved, with a faint woody fragrance.The people inside hid their laughter and spoke frivolously: "Since meeting a distinguished guest, it is natural to be honest with each other. How can there be any reason for me to stay behind closed doors?"

Zhuo Ran snorted lightly: "You want to find me, shouldn't you come to visit me? Please take the trouble to bring me here in the middle of the night."

"Zhuo Siye really knows how to joke."

Zhuo Ran was taken aback for a moment, she never revealed that she was Zhuo Ran, besides, Zhuo Ran's name had been crossed out forever, this person was indeed capable, it was very clear.Zhuo Ran didn't show any expression, the maid stretched out her fingers and turned the potted plant beside her for half a circle, and the door was half opened.

"Girl, please." The maid bowed her head and watched Zhuo Ran walk in before closing the door again.

As soon as Zhuo Ran stepped through the door, she raised her finger to block her nose. The fragrance inside became more intense. She had never liked strong fragrance, and she couldn't help coughing lightly due to the smell, but she didn't forget to look around.The inside of the house is even more luxurious, and the inside is warmer, which is quite different from the outside. Zhuo Ran raised his fingers and tugged on the cloak.The golden silk tent surrounds the tall pavilion, mixed with the smog, it feels like sleeping in a beauty's tent.

Zhuo Ran looked into the layers of gauze tents, and there was indeed a person inside.Zhuo Ran stood there without moving, and Nie Hanshan couldn't see Zhuo Ran very clearly. He had just bathed, and his clothes were not neat, but he was wearing a thin cyan gauze. He was lying on his side on the couch, with one arm supporting his head. , Staring at the blurred figure and smiling slightly.

"I've already come in, does Zhuo Siye still have to be so far away from me?"

Zhuo Ran picked up layers of gauze curtains and walked in after hearing the words. Nie Hanshan rested his other hand on the side of the couch, and followed Zhuo Ran's footsteps and patted lightly until Zhuo Ran stood in front of him. Then he stopped and raised his eyes to look at Zhuo Ran.

Zhuo Ran looked down at Nie Hanshan.At that time when Wei Xun said that Nie Hanshan was the most powerful in Yongzhou, she thought he would be very domineering, but she never thought that he would be like this.What should Nie Hanshan say? He doesn't look particularly charming, but he doesn't look serious either. He seems to like to dress up. Rouge and powder are placed on the table. Because he just took a bath, he didn't have time to put on makeup, and his black hair was covered with wood. The hairpin was pulled up, leaving a strand hanging behind the head.Zhuo Ran didn't like this. Compared with Li Yanchuan, he was nothing like mud.

Zhuo Ran opened her lips: "What should I call you?"

Nie Hanshan tapped the table with his fingertips: "I heard that Zhuo Siye loved dressing up when he was a child, why don't you help me do it today, so that I can tell you what to call me?"

"I'm really sorry." Zhuo Ran shook his head, "Since you know that Zhuo Ran is Nan Xiang, you must also know what happened to me before. I've been in Gaodu for so many years, and I'm afraid my skills are also rusty."

"It's okay." Nie Hanshan straightened his arms, his clothes slid down his shoulders, and he rearranged them. Zhuo Ran immediately turned his eyes. Nie Hanshan smiled and said, "Anyway, it's a dark night, no one sees, Zhuo Si There is no need to worry about business.”

Zhuo Ran hooked her lips: "Okay."

Nie Hanshan sat in front of the bronze mirror, and Zhuo Ran walked around behind him.Nie Hanshan is not as strong as Li Xunchuan, with a thin body, but there is an unknown coldness, but that coldness has been transformed by him into a coquettish and unflattering feeling, which is hard to fathom.Zhuo Ran glanced sideways, and stretched out his fingers to take off the wooden hairpin, only to find that Nie Hanshan's hair was much longer than hers, Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, pinching his hairband to tie his hair up.

"Do you ask so much when the maid dresses you up?" Zhuo Ran watched his eyelashes flicker, stretched out his fingers to pick up the makeup powder and picked a moderate color, Nie Hanshan closed his eyes and didn't answer.

Zhuo Ran turned his head to glance, and found a small mole on Nie Hanshan's earlobe, which looked black from a distance, but when he got closer, he realized that it was purple, which seemed unreal.

"Zhuo Siye, aren't you afraid of causing fire by spreading the news on purpose?" Nie Hanshan said, "Shouldn't you keep a secret and live well? Are you in such a hurry to get something from me?"

"You are so shrewd, how come you don't know my purpose?" Zhuo Ran said, "If you understand everything, I won't play tricks with you. Under what conditions can you entrust me with everything in Yongzhou?"

"Leave it to you?" Nie Hanshan smiled, but kept his face still. He said, "Zhuo Siye has been away from Yongzhou for so many years, and now that he wants to go back, he will go back. What does Zhuo Siye think of me? Besides, I What reason do you have to help Zhuo Siye?"

Zhuo Ran picked up the eyebrow pencil, thinking about what kind of eyebrows to draw, and at the same time replied: "The emperor Yan Chengxuan cannot last long, do you think you can live a few days in peace? Since there is no one in the royal family, why can't I replace it?"

Nie Hanshan suddenly reached out and grabbed Zhuo Siye's wrist: "Because Zhuo Siye has nothing now. As far as I know, the champion Hou is by Zhuo Siye's side now, right? Although Lord Hou supports Zhuo Siye, it does not mean that the entire Beili Will support Zhuo Siye, you have to think about it."

Zhuo Ran frowned slightly, Nie Hanshan turned her wrist in one direction: "Use this one."

Zhuo Ran broke away from his hand: "It's not something you should worry about. If I'm sure, I must be sure. I just want to know what you need. Tell me a condition."

"Zhuo Siye is so straightforward?" Nie Hanshan leaned back slightly, "But Zhuo Siye didn't come here just for this, right? Revisiting the old place, I wonder if Zhuo Siye remembered anything?"

Zhuo Ran traced the shape of his eyebrows, and Nie Hanshan closed his eyes again.Zhuo Ran smiled lightly: "You know everything. I do have some things to ask. About... Liao He."

"Liao He?" Nie Hanshan said, "Hasn't it already turned into ashes?"

Zhuo Ran stopped moving suddenly, Nie Hanshan frowned slightly, Zhuo Ran said in a deep voice, "Don't move."

Nie Hanshan said: "I don't know why Liao He died. I guess not many people in this world know about it, but he is not an important person, so it is not worth mentioning. What is Zhuo Siye doing now? Why don't you tell me about it? Maybe it can help Zhuo Siye solve his problems."

Zhuo Ran curled her lips: "There is no major progress. I just want to know the relationship between my father and Empress Yu Jing."

"Your father?" Nie Hanshan said, "Oh, I thought you were talking about Emperor Nanhuan. Zhuo Ting, he has nothing to do with Empress Yu Jing at all. I can tell."
