teach life and death

Chapter 15 Mulberry Leaf

The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit; the prosperity of the world is all vain, day after day.

After three in the morning, the sun in Jizhou is the best at this time, and it is neither dry nor boring.

"It's been a long time since I've seen Jizhou like this. It's so beautiful. Although Jizhou belongs to the Central Plains, it was also part of the Western Regions. She doesn't have the beautiful mountains and clear waters of the Central Plains, but the golden yellow sand still has that kind of passionate customs and human feelings, but There is nothing here in the Central Plains. Ah, I made a mistake, our emperor is not from the Western Regions."

Wo Ye, who came back from Wenyu, sat with Li Jianan and his party in the private room on the second floor of the inn. The distance outside the window was endless yellow sand, and there were solitary vultures circling and flying in the sky. He said to himself with emotion.

Yu Qin leaned on Mei Xiao's expression to remember, she recalled, "Yeah, we first met in this pass in Jizhou, there was still a lot of war, and the master was really immature but ruthless like a beast, One person led a pack of wolves and swept away an army of Thjajana. We are all used to the fierceness of our master. At that time, Su De had just joined our team. Seeing that he usually looks dull, he suddenly showed that kind of The unbelievable emotions really made us laugh all night. From then on, Su De wanted to show his heart out to prove his loyalty. .”

Yu Qin raised her body slightly, glanced at it, and then asked suspiciously, "Say, Su De also came to Jizhou, what about others?

Mei Xiao tilted her head to look at her, Yu Qin actually understood what he meant, and fell silent.

"Hahaha, what a greedy man? Is Su De very hungry every day? That's really miserable. As boring as he is, it's not fun at all. It would be fun if Wei Lan was there."

"He must be able to talk for three days and three nights. His saliva is more than the water of the Xihe River in Khotan. I can listen to him tell the story of rhino horns for a week. If something ignites, it will be hell."

Shuang Que pretended to be smart and laughed while looking at Li Jianan's expression, but found that he couldn't see anything, and the more he said, the more he spoke.

Xuan He really couldn't listen anymore, picked up the chicken leg and stuffed it into Shuang Que's open and closed mouth

"Is it because the chicken legs don't taste good or something? There's so much nonsense, you should learn from our young master's cleverness in your free time! Don't just open your mouth to talk nonsense, what a mess."

Without saying a word, Shuangque took the chicken leg with her hand and started to chew.

Of course Fang Yansheng is well-behaved and has not slept for most of the night these past few days, he stayed up even worse than Mao Wanchen and got up early with Li Jianan.

Li Jianan had disciplined him, but he just acted coquettishly and stayed awake, so he finally ignored Fang Yansheng.

So this night cat is like this every day, pulling Li Jienan's legs and sleeping until the sky is dark.

Shuangque chewed on the chicken leg, looked at it and said inarticulately, "I don't dare to sleep on the master's lap, just thinking about it makes my skin crawl."

Yu Qin couldn't help laughing out, "Xuanhe's chicken legs! It can't cure your cheap mouth either."

Wo Ye looked out of the window indifferently, as if he couldn't see, couldn't hear the noise of Shuangque and the others.

He looked at Li Jianan and said, "Master, my subordinates have been investigating in the Western Regions since I received your secret order. The Ghost Pigeons were indeed stationed in the Western Regions after they were born, but I couldn't find the exact location. The locals call them The Messenger of Allah in Zhongyuan, as long as I asked about the specific whereabouts, they would not talk about it."

"Messenger of Allah? Pursuing sentient beings is indeed a good way to win over the common people. This ghost pigeon has not yet formed and can't make any big waves. Let's not talk about this matter for now, just keep an eye on it." After speaking, Li Jinan took out a bag The hand that was only held by Fang Yansheng.

He took out a silver leaf from his sleeve, which was exactly what Wei Wenqun's people picked up last time, and Li Jianan specially asked someone to copy it.

"This is the special sacred leaf of the Yanqi people who believe in the sacred tree Behim. This leaf? I have heard a little about this unsolved case in Jizhou."

"Wei Lan is also from Yanqi. He does have a leaf, but... Master, are you suspicious?" Wo Ye said, frowning while holding the silver leaf.

"Wei Lan didn't make it. I played with his silver leaf before, but I remember the veins on that silver leaf." Shuangque snatched the imitated silver leaf with greasy hands, looked at it, and stuffed it back to Wo Ye.

He was selected as the shadow by Li Jienanqin at the beginning because he could clearly remember some details touched by him, not because of his low skill and verbal skills.

Frost Sparrow saw Wo Ye's obvious disgust and didn't care, "I didn't cover it up. Although Wei Ji betrayed us, it's obvious that someone used his name to confuse us."

Yu Qin echoed, "Yin Ye is indeed from the Yanqi people, but Yanqi warriors are generally good at using long whips. Wei Lan used to use whips at the same time as us. These corpses were obviously caused by knives. Wound."

Li Jianan listened to it, but said another piece of news that shocked Xuan He and others in a calm manner. "The last time the mansion was attacked, the masked person was Wei Lan, but he used a sword."

"What! How dare he?" Frost Sparrow's voice changed in surprise, and the others regained their composure after being surprised for a moment.

Fang Yansheng on Li Jienan's lap bounced up in shock.

Xuan He immediately interrupted Frost Sparrow's call with a cold face, "Are you eunuched?"

"Master, how did you recognize him? You're so blinded!" Shuang Que approached Li Jianan fearlessly.

Seeing Fang Yansheng who was awakened by him staring at him in confusion?Suddenly, he remembered the scene of being kicked off by him in the sedan chair that day, and stiffly returned to his original position.

Seeing that his master didn't pay attention to him, he was in a bad mood.

"Is the unsolved case of killing the new county magistrate in three months related to Wei Lan's assassination? Wei Wenqun doesn't seem to be able to find any other flaws at the moment. Master, how should we start?" Mei Xiao hit the point straight.

Seeing that Fang Yansheng had woken up, Li Yannan rubbed his numb hands and poured him a glass of water to relieve the astringency in his mouth, and fed him some pastries.

Wo Ye and Yu Qinyi on the side looked frightened, but Xuanhe and the others were not surprised.

Li Jinan opened his mouth and ordered, "Well, Yu Ming is dead, and Wo Ye will replace you with your superb disguise. The king has already asked Shentu Zhawu to draw up a decree. It will be known in three months whether it is a human or a ghost. As for Wei Lan's prior Just wait and watch."

"Master has a good brain. This is straightforward enough. Wait for the murderer to come and catch him in three months! Then let me serve him with [-] cruel punishments, and see if he says anything about the first prince, the second prince, and the little one." Prince, what a ghost come out."

After the discussion, Li Jiannan asked them to perform their duties and continue to feed Fang Yansheng.

Wo Ye walked to the door and suddenly stopped and said, "Master, Wei Lan once told me that his belief is you, but he betrayed us. I met him in Laizhou City, and I asked him why, and he only said My original intention has changed, but I don’t understand.”

"Human nature, the so-called original intention is just the shackles of desires given to oneself at the beginning. Desires and desires are nothing but good and evil. The answer to everything comes out, and life depends on one's own way."

Li Jianan lowered his eyes, peeled almonds one by one, saw Fang Yansheng opened his mouth and threw them into his mouth.

"At the beginning, we fought in the frontier and defended the land of Amok one after another. Although it was difficult, we would feel happy when we heard kind farmers and enthusiastic old women cheering for us."

"At that time, we loved each other without intrigue or gap, but why did we all change when the war subsided? Is the right of master really that important? Really...are you really not confused?"

"This king has always been clear about what he wants. As for whether you follow me or not, you don't force it, but if you betray me and get caught by me, you will go to hell." Li Jinan said softly.

He crushed an almond in his hand, and the powdery ash caught Fang Yansheng's eyes with the wind, and Fang Yansheng blinked his eyes slightly.

"I will not betray Master, but I beg Master to show mercy to Wei Lan, I..."

Wo Ye knelt down to Li Jianan.At this moment, Li Jinan turned back to stare at him and continued to peel.

"It's ugly, let's go down." Li Jianan still said softly and coldly.

Wo Ye bit his lip and stood up, bowed deeply to him, opened the door and left.

"What is the right?" Fang Yansheng sat up and looked at Li Jianan with his head propped up.

"Teach people the source of desire for death." Li Jianan looked at his confused expression, "What do you know, it would be great to be carefree."

Fang Yansheng reached out and tapped Li Jiannan's lips, "It's not good to be carefree, so do you want to fight too?"

"I don't want to, but I have to fight." Li Jianan said with a low smile as he took down the disturbing hand, breaking the indifference.

"Why?" Fang Yansheng stretched out his hand again, but this time he covered his eyes.

"Because life is like a play, the scenes need to be performed by themselves."

"Hey, Xuan He, tell me what you said, where does Wei Lan come from such a bear-hearted leopard who dares to assassinate the master." Shuang Que looked like he was too bad, and shook Xuan He's hand vigorously.

Xuan He was so shaken that his face was almost gone, he threw him away and replied unhappily, "You said he ate the bear heart and leopard gall, are you asking me to find fault? I think you also ate the ambition leopard What a cowardly idiot, dare to propose Wei Lan in front of the master."

"Didn't I just say it out of my head?" Shuangque smirked resentfully.

Xuan He spat at him disdainfully, "If you keep doing this, sooner or later, you will be beaten to death because of your cheap talk."

"Ahhh, every time my concubine sees you arguing, I really feel better." Yu Qin smiled and covered half of her face.

Shuang Que originally wanted to scold Xuan He when she heard what Yu Qin said, she turned her head abruptly, "Hmph, old hag."

"Stinky boy! Say it again!" Yu Qin ignored the appearance of copying potted plants on the side of the road and was about to smash Frost Sparrow.

There were people coming and going on the street, people passing by pointed and pointed at them, Xuanhe's face turned green at that moment, but Mei Xiao still looked at Yu Qinnao indifferently.

"Yoyo, this is not enough. The old demon is not stacking, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Xuan He exchanged glances with Mei Xiao, who was silent at the side, and Mei Xiao hugged her from behind Yu Qin and dragged her away. Yu Qin held a half-person-high potted plant in one hand, and patted Mei Xiao who was hugging her carelessly with her free hand. Xiao Xiao's face was distorted by her shots.

"Hahaha, Dali old hag, why are you twisting like a caterpillar!" Frost Sparrow twitched while bowing her body and laughing, suddenly her mind went blank.

"Shut up, you!" Xuan He helplessly knocked Shuang Que unconscious, he nodded to Mei Xiao and carried her away.

Mei Xiao let go of Yu Qin in her arms after watching the person walk away.

Gritting her teeth, Yu Qin turned around, raised her head and pointed at him, cursing, "You are really useless, you idiot, you idiot."

Still not relieved after scolding, she stood on tiptoe and tried to make eye contact with Mei Xiao, but when she found nothing, she jumped up and continued to scold, "Do you really like me, or not, and you won't scold that cheap parrot for me! You idiot!"

After she finished speaking, she ran away angrily, and Mei Xiao followed indifferently.
