Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 1107 Being Alone
Halfway through the secret passage, through the dim light, I saw a tall figure from afar, standing at the fork in the road waiting.

Lin Jinyan stepped forward and greeted with a proper smile:
"Boss An."

"Miss Lin."

An Zhixian extended his hand in an invitation gesture, indicating that Lin Jinyan should go first and he would follow closely behind.

After entering the house and sitting down, Ling Shi greeted the two of them in a serious manner, brought tea sets and hot water, and stood at the door.

Lin Jinyan stared at the hands opposite her that were brewing tea smoothly, expressing her gratitude for her help yesterday.

An Zhixian placed the brewed tea gently in front of Lin Jinyan:
"No need to be so polite. Not to mention that you and I are allies of life and death, the general's mansion also treats me kindly. Just talking about Yichen, he has been like a brother to me for so many years, and I should also ensure that his wedding goes smoothly."

As he spoke, An Zhixian's eyes flickered and he looked up at Bai Zhi:
"Oh, by the way, I have something to trouble Miss Baizhi. Feng Xiaoran has been bedridden these days due to an injury, so his appetite is not very good. He used a little more of the noodles you made last time. Although you taught Dong Rui how to make it, he is a man after all, so his hands are a little clumsy. Feng Xiaoran and I don't have a maid by our side, so I may have to trouble you to teach him again. Do you have time?"

Bai Zhi looked at Lin Jinyan, and after Lin Jinyan nodded, she replied:
"Master Feng was injured to save me. I don't want to trouble Boss An. It won't take long to cook noodles. I'll go cook while you talk to the young lady."

An Zhixian nodded in thanks and signaled Ling Shi to take Bai Zhi to find Dong Rui. After the stone door was closed, they were the only ones left in the room. Noticing that Lin Jinyan was a little uncomfortable, An Zhixian talked about business considerately:

"Those Mobei spies are locked up in this backyard. What do you plan to do with them, young lady?"

Lin Jinyan put down the teacup and asked: "Do these people have any marks of Mobei?"

An Zhixian: "A few years ago, Tai'an City investigated Mobei spies, which resulted in the exposure of Mobei's unique mark. The spies now have no mark on their bodies, but one of them has a large burn scar on his forearm, which should be caused by destroying the mark."

Lin Jinyan was not disappointed to get the answer that was not unexpected:
"Although it's difficult to remove, it shouldn't be too difficult to imprint them. I want to send these people out of the city and find a place to lock them up. During this time, I will find the mark of Mobei to make their identities clearer."

An Zhixian: "It seems that you want to keep these people for other purposes. Then I will transport them out and hide them in the next few days. I will also let Mingye Pavilion find the mark and stamp it on them."

Lin Jinyan felt warm in her heart:
"They are from Mobei. It would be risky to leave the city. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be serious. This is my business and has nothing to do with the alliance. You... don't have to take such a risk."

An Zhixian was startled when he heard this, his eyes were filled with loneliness, and then he slowly smiled:
"You don't need to feel burdened. My parents are both dead. Even if I have to flee to the ends of the earth, the people around me are able to protect themselves and will follow me. But you are different. Your loved ones are all in Tai'an City. A single move can affect the whole body. For so many years, you have been very cautious and hidden. You dare not make any mistakes, even at the risk of your life. Isn't it because you want to protect them and are afraid of implicating them? I understand your concerns. So, it is better for me to take risks than for you to take risks."

Lin Jinyan felt her heart numbing when she heard this. The burning numbness spread to her throat and nasal cavity, making her eyes red.
