Chapter 201 Refugees
Li Xunchuan and Xiyu stayed outside for too long, carefully inspecting around the warehouse all night, taking advantage of the fact that no one was there at night, they expected to find out something, but unexpectedly found nothing, and when they went back, it was already daylight.

Zhou Yu got up early, and when he saw Li Xunchuan and Xiyu coming back, he realized that the two of them hadn't returned all night.Li Xunchuan briefly talked about the kerosene, and mentioned the military adviser.

Zhou Yu thought for a while and said: "I haven't seen it these days, but don't worry, I have a solution. When I have news, I will tell Lord Hou."

"Then I would like to thank you senior." Li Yanchuan nodded and said.

"Master Hou doesn't need to be too polite. Oh, by the way, Master Hou didn't eat and worked hard all night last night. Tell me what you want to eat, and I'll prepare it right away."

Li Xunchuan shook his head: "Senior, don't be busy, I'm not hungry. I'll go back and change clothes first, and I'll talk to senior later."

"Alright." Zhou Yu nodded, "Then Lord Hou will go and rest for a while."

Before Li Xunchuan had time to change his clothes, he got into Zhuo Ran's bedroom.Zhuo Ran had woken up a long time ago, and was sitting in front of the mirror in a daze at the moment, when he heard the door ringing, he got up immediately, Li Yanchuan quickly stepped forward and stretched out his arms to help him to sit down.

"It's so violent?" Li Yuchuan said slowly, "You're not well yet, why don't you add more clothes?"

Zhuo Ran looked back and held his hand: "Didn't you say that you were the first person I saw when I woke up? Where did you go?"

Li Xunchuan raised his hand and touched Zhuo Ran's forehead. Before he could speak, Zhuo Ran frowned slightly: "Why does it smell like kerosene? What did you do?"

Li Xunchuan smiled: "Such a good nose?"

Feeling that the temperature was still a bit high, Li Yunchuan stretched out his arms and pulled his outer shirt onto Zhuo Ran's shoulders.He stood up, stood behind her and straightened Zhuo Ran's long hair. He said, "Didn't we say before that the kerosene in Los Angeles is strange? I have been asking Xiyu to investigate secretly, but I didn't expect to find out." Yes. There is actually kerosene in Yongzhou, a lot of it, stored in an abandoned warehouse. Now, although no one touches these things, I think the people behind it must want to find the right time to transport the kerosene away."

"I don't think it's Li Chengru's remnant party?" Zhuo Ran handed Li Yanchuan the hair tie, "After all, Li Chengru doesn't trust anyone, including Yuanlu."

Li Xunchuan fixed Zhuo Ran's hair, looked carefully in the mirror, and nodded: "Well, I think so too. Xiyu will investigate these matters, so you don't have to worry about it for now."

Zhuo Ran secretly sighed, and said: "It is said that Xi Yucha, didn't you stay there for a night like him?"

"What's the matter?" Li Yuchuan leaned over and looked closely at Zhuo Ran, "Are you unhappy?"

"No." Zhuo Ran shook his head, Li Yuchuan squatted down and leaned against Zhuo Ran's back, hugged him from behind, touched Zhuo Ran's hand and held it in his palm.

Li Xunchuan said softly: "I'll make amends, okay, Xiaqiu. Tell me what you want."

Zhuo Ran smiled helplessly, and said, "I'm really not unhappy, I just woke up and didn't see you, so I was a little worried, but it's good to be back. By the way, where is Uncle Zhou?"

"I met you when you came back," Li Yuchuan said, "Senior is in good spirits. Now I'm talking about going out for a walk, and I'll be back in a while."

"En." Zhuo Ran nodded, she leaned back slightly against Li Yanchuan, as if she couldn't lift her spirits, Li Yanchuan touched her fingers, and hugged her like this.

Zhuo Ran immediately hugged Li Yuchuan's neck and said, "Come with me for a walk, I want to go out and have a look."

"I touched you and it's still not good, what should I do if I catch a cold after going out?" Li Yuchuan said, "Can't I stay with you?"

Zhuo Ran shook his head, Li Yunchuan could only agree, wrapped him in thick clothes, and went out together.As soon as Zhuo Ran came out, he seemed to be in better spirits. Li Yunchuan held Zhuo Ran's hand and walked slowly. Zhuo Ran looked at the scenery and didn't say anything along the way.

Li Xunchuan noticed that Zhuo Ran was not in high spirits, but he didn't have anything to say. His words were actually useless to Zhuo Ran. He couldn't tell what was in Zhuo Ran's heart. Can't figure it out at all.

What's going on?
Li Xunchuan frowned slightly, Zhuo Ran just kept walking, occasionally covered her lips and coughed a few times, Li Xunchuan rubbed the vest for her, and said softly: "Xiaqiu, it's too cold outside, let's go back."

Zhuo Ran said in a muffled voice, "It's all right. Before you came back, I heard that a lot of people from outside have come to Yongzhou City recently. Just like Yuzhou City, they are all refugees. I don't know if it is People from Xinzhou City. I want to go and have a look outside the city gate."

Li Xunchuan said: "Refugees? Why is Nie Hanshan silent? Shouldn't he be the first to act?"

"So I think this matter is very strange." Zhuo Ran said softly, "Nie Hanshan has no thoughts or movements recently. These people can't keep coming to Yongzhou City. After all, Yongzhou City doesn't have so much energy to find out these people now. It’s still quite dangerous.”

Li Xunchuan nodded and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier? I thought you were sulking?"

Zhuo Ran smiled: "It's all over, how could I still be sullen. Chi Yue, although I am very tired, as long as I think of you, I feel that everything is not so difficult."

Li Xunchuan touched Zhuo Ran's cheek and pursed his lips: "Wait a little longer, wait a little longer and I will be with you. I will accompany you wherever you want to go."

"En." Zhuo Ran nodded, "I promise you."

The city defense of Yongzhou is stricter than that of Yuzhou, and many people are blocked outside the city gate and unable to enter.What Zhuo Ran didn't expect was that Nie Hanshan was also there.Li Xunchuan was watching from a distance, and he frowned: "Why is this Nie Hanshan still doing big things in such a silent manner? Why is he still keeping things secret? It's not going to happen."

Zhuo Ran smiled in a low voice, and said, "Nie Hanshan, actually, I don't think he's anything to be afraid of. He doesn't talk about it now because he has a gap in his heart. No matter who it is for, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it." The reason, so this matter can not be blamed on Nie Hanshan."

"What do you mean? Blame me?" Li Yuchuan raised his eyebrows.

Zhuo Ran shook her head and said, "I didn't say that, Second Master, don't think too much. Nie Hanshan has complicated thoughts, he doesn't want to say that nature has its own reasons, we just wait and see."

Li Xunchuan pulled Zhuo Ran forward and didn't show up when he got there, but just mixed in the crowd, watching the people outside the city gate start to argue.Li Xunchuan shielded Zhuo Ran from the wind, and he could clearly see the situation in front of him standing behind Zhuo Ran.

It's not really a big deal.The caravan along the way seemed to be some kind of swindling team, pulling a few carts of useless dry firewood, and lying on the cart were a few injured people who looked very weak and were almost frozen to death.There is nothing special about this team. Li Xunchuan said in a low voice, "It's the same everywhere now. The refugees admitted in Yuzhou at that time were even worse than these."

"Better than worse is not used in this way." Zhuo Ran said in a low voice, "But I look at their clothes...why do they feel a little familiar? Look at the person lying on the car..."

Li Xunchuan frowned: "You can see this? The clothes are messy and unkempt, and you still look familiar?"

"Didn't I say I think so?" Zhuo Ran said, "Would you like to go ahead and have a look?"

"Let's see what Nie Hanshan is going to do first." Li Yanchuan said, "Why don't we make a bet?"

"Huh?" Zhuo Ran looked at Li Yanchuan, who leaned closer and said softly, "Let's take a gamble, will Nie Hanshan let them in?"

"Why don't you bet on whether he will tell us about it?" Zhuo Ran said.

Before Li Xunchuan could react, he saw that Nie Hanshan had led the group into the city and walked in another direction.Other than that, no one can come in.Li Xunchuan was surprised for a moment, he looked at Zhuo Ran: "How do you know?"

Zhuo Ran said: "Refugees usually come, and there is no need for such careful interrogation. When we came just now, Nie Hanshan's people had been searching for something and questioning them carefully, but they didn't have any intention of letting them in. I think his purpose is not to check security, but to let specific people in. And these people, Nie Hanshan would never tell us, I think there must be something wrong."

Li Xunchuan said: "Then aren't you cheating on me?"

"You... Second Master, you still blame me for not looking carefully?" Zhuo Ran glanced back at him, tilted her head and said, "What's this called?"

"Yes, I just didn't look carefully." Li Yuchuan leaned against Zhuo Ran's forehead and said softly, "Do you still want to look here?"

Zhuo Ran said: "Let's go back, Uncle Zhou should be going back soon."

Li Xunchuan nodded, and pulled Zhuo Ran back.

"Where do you think those people came from?" Li Yuchuan said, "I haven't heard of any major events recently? Where did all these wars happen?"

"So I said to take a gamble, whether Nie Hanshan will tell us these things?" Zhuo Ran said, "If he is willing to speak out, this matter can be resolved directly without any effort, but if he is not willing to tell us, then It’s up to us to check for ourselves.”

Li Xunchuan raised his eyebrows: "Don't bet, how could Nie Hanshan tell us in person? He didn't even tell us about it, but how did you know?"

Zhuo Ran said, "It was Yike who told me."

"Chang Yinyu?" Li Yuchuan said, "Why do you feel that he is different recently? Did you get stimulated by something?"

Zhuo Ran smiled and said: "Yike used to be a fool. To be honest, I didn't quite believe Uncle Zhou when he told me something about him. Chang Yike is from the Chang family. You must have heard of it. At that time, it was about the Chang family in Gaodu. The Chang family was a big family, and Yike had been influenced by the scholarly family since he was a child. Under the surface of Chang Yinyu, he was actually a high-spirited young man. I heard that Chang Yike was Gaodu of Gaodu has a great reputation, and has captured the hearts of most women with his uninhibited and indulgent personality. The threshold for marriage proposals was almost broken, but Yike's family did not respond. I thought he was just winning the prize in kung fu, but I didn't expect Even in the literature club, which makes me a little admired."

"Then he is great, or the talented girl from Yongzhou?" Li Yunchuan added a bit of disdain, "I don't care, no one can compare to our Xiaqiu anyway."

"It's a good thing that Yike is not here," Zhuo Ran said, "if he hears these words, he will definitely feel very lonely."

"Didn't he say no one should mention it?"

Zhuo Ran said: "Everyone's past doesn't want to be talked about by others, just like you and me, so I treat others like myself. I actually feel sorry for Yike's past. If it weren't for the so-called power struggles, it wouldn't be the case at all. That's it. Yike, it's like the past. I call him this name because I don't want him to forget that people can't become hollow, otherwise they can't resist even a gust of wind. But we are the same, Chi Yue , I know your past, and you know mine, so we can hint and encourage each other, but Yike is different, Yike followed me, in fact, he came for friendship."

Li Xunchuan pursed his lips, he seldom made such an expression, Zhuo Ran raised his eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Second Master, what kind of expression is this? I still saw Boye doing this gesture, I didn't expect Second Master to do it so beautifully." ah?"

"Why do I listen, why do you care so much about Chang Yinyu?" Li Xunchuan inexplicably thought of many things before, and he said, "Is your relationship really so good? You also know that Chang Yinyu is not afraid of being touched at his Adam's apple, and you know what happened to him before, Still concerned about his mood, I...why do I feel so wrong?"

"Chi Yue, jealousy depends on the timing." Zhuo Ran said seriously, "Yike and I are just good friends. Although he calls me little master, I never treat him as a servant, so don't worry..."

"Why," Li Yanchuan moved closer to Zhuo Ran, "You are allowed to spread your charm everywhere, but I am not allowed to say a few words?"

"Ah..." Zhuo Ran grabbed Li Yanchuan's arm and shook it.

"Okay, okay," Li Yanchuan could only say when he saw her like this, "I won't say anything, go back quickly, don't get caught and be scolded again."

Zhuo Ran nodded and smiled.

***
When Nie Hanshan returned from the city gate, although he said there was nothing strange about it, his subordinates came to report it.Nie Hanshan huddled in the carriage, holding the bosom stove in his hand. His body, which had been exposed to the wind and snow for a long time, gradually warmed up. He listened carefully to the words of his subordinates, humming softly from time to time.

Nie Hanshan said softly, "Are they here?"

"Yes." The subordinate bowed his head and said, "I stood not far away for a while and then went back. But looking at that Nan Qing seems to be sick, his face is pale, and his walking steps are a little sloppy."

Nie Hanshan said: "Of course I know. Did those people in the inn find out?"

"Understood. Now there are only a few people in the inn. They brought back a person who is proficient in medical skills. He is a young girl named Mu Heng. She is also a student of Nanjiang doctor. The spies said that it was to treat Nanqing. The head of the family , but no matter how I look at Nan Qing, she is not seriously ill, what is the reason for those people to come?"

Nie Hanshan smiled and said: "I found out that Zhuo Ran had some problems when we met for the first time. Although she seems to be fine, she will never get better as soon as she gets sick. A disciple of Nanjiang doctor? This Nanqing really has something. How can you actually find such a person? But according to what you said, it seems that Zhuo Ran really has some serious illness?"

"Do you want your subordinates to check again?"

Nie Hanshan thought for a while, then he shook his head: "No need, don't be in a hurry. The most important thing now is the few people we brought back. They have watched a lot of dramas. In order not to let them down, you will go there soon." Send a message to ask Nanqing to come over."

"But the big master didn't say not to let them..."

Nie Hanshan looked at him and said, "People need to learn to be flexible. In this case, the more they want us to do, the more we have to do, so as to complete my plan."

"My subordinate understands."

Zhou Yu was busy in the kitchen.Since a long time ago, Zhou Yu didn't let these people eat other people's meals, and he had to do everything by himself, so Chang Yinyu simply booked the entire inn. After thinking about it, he felt that the cost was indeed too high, and he needed to talk to Zhuo Ran about staying in another place up.

Chang Yinyu came out of the kitchen and saw Li Yunchuan walking in with Zhuo Ran in his arms.Chang Yinyu frowned slightly, and said softly, "Uncle Zhou is in the kitchen."

Li Xunchuan let go of Zhuo Ran's hand and said, "You got up very early."

"It's okay." Chang Yinyu said, "By the way, Master Hou, junior sister, there is something I need to tell you. We can't stay in the inn all the time, and we can't toss about money like this. I mentioned it to my little master earlier. I wonder how little junior sister thinks about the matter of the general's mansion?"

"Didn't you say you can do it yourself?" Zhuo Ran said, "You can arrange it."

"Well, I'll just say it." Chang Yinyu said, "I've spared some money to reset the General's Mansion these days. According to the blueprints of the little master, I haven't touched the organs in the General's Mansion. Now it's almost repaired. , we can try to move there in the next few days. But after all, it is the General’s Mansion, and we dare not act without the master’s order.”

Zhuo Ran said softly: "Since the repairs are completed, we can move in and live there."

Li Xunchuan frowned slightly: "When did you talk about this?"

"A long time ago." Chang Yinyu said.

Zhuo Ran smiled and said, "I've been thinking about it. Yi Ke, I'll clean up after dinner, and I'll feel at ease when I move there earlier."

"Yes." Chang Yinyu nodded, "By the way, my junior sister's medicine has been simmered, remember to use it after meals."

"Okay." Zhuo Ran stepped forward and pulled Chang Yinyu into the kitchen. She looked back at Li Xunchuan and motioned him to go upstairs first.

Li Xunchuan was stunned for a moment, but he could only obediently go upstairs.

Zhuo Ran and Chang Yinyu talked about moving to the General's Mansion, Zhou Yu nodded first, then looked at Zhuo Ran and asked worriedly: "Really moving there, Ran'er, can you adapt? "

Zhuo Ran smiled and said: "It's been such a long time, I'm fine. Let's go and live together, there will be no problems. Besides, it's not a good idea to stay in the inn all the time. It's better to go back to your own home for peace of mind. "

"That's right." Zhou Yu nodded, "Well, we'll pack things up in a while and just move them over."

Zhuo Ran supported the table, endured the dizziness and nodded slightly.
