Nan Yi entered Zheyue Pavilion alone, worried.
As soon as he opened the door, a warm breath hit his face.
The fine silver charcoal in the basin burned quietly, not a wisp of smoke or sparks could be seen, and the room was warm. The pavilion is elegant and warm, and every decoration is just right, revealing the reserve and dignity of a big family.
This will be where she will live in the future.
She couldn't be happy, she always felt like a warm and exquisite cage.
She shouldn't have been involved in the treacherous waves in Wangxuewu, but it was up to her whether she wanted to or not. She was just a pawn of Xie Queshan.
She couldn't figure out all of Xie Queshan's actions. He clearly tortured her like a plaything, but looking closely at the results, it turned out that he was pushing her to get a good result intentionally or unintentionally. But if he said he was helping her, he was But it always puts her in an embarrassing situation.
And the "goose" in Xie Sui'an's mouth is also a cloud of doubt in Nan Yi's heart. What is Xie Queshan's position?
No, she had to ask him for details. But the uncle and sister-in-law were having a private meeting in the mansion late at night... The inappropriate thought flashed through his mind, and was quickly suppressed by Nan Yi himself. Anyway, they had had many separate interactions when they were unknown to the public, and Not bad this time.
……
Xie Queshan lived in the middle of Jingfengju. Judging from the location, Jingfengju was actually diagonally in front of Zheyue Pavilion, with an arrow path in the middle. There was originally a small door that opened towards the arrow path, but that small door was sealed with wooden bars.
If you want to go to Jingfengju, you have to go around half of Wangxuewu. Nan Yi didn't want to attract attention, so her ability to climb over walls came in handy when she was a thief.
When Nan Yi jumped into Jingfeng Residence from the window, the room was dim and filled with only a strong smell of herbs. She thought Xie Queshan was not here. Looking around Xizhou, I found Xie Queshan sitting in the study, with only a small candle lit at the table and half of his body immersed in shadow.
He seemed to like sitting in the dark, and that lonely look appeared on his face again. He became the head of the Xie family today and gave Aunt Lu such a big blow. He should be proud of himself at this moment. But he didn't react like a successful villain, but like an abandoned child.
Hearing the noise, Xie Queshan looked up at Nan Yi and was not surprised.
But Nan Yi felt strange: "You knew I was coming?"
Xie Queshan smiled lightly and was noncommittal.
Nan Yi didn't want to make excuses with him anymore and went in alone: "What exactly do you want to do?"
"You have gained Xie Sui'an's trust. From now on, report to me everything she says and does to you."
Nan Yi took a step back in shock, and some doubts suddenly cleared up in her mind.
From beginning to end, she was Xie Queshan's pawn. In the ancestral hall, he encouraged her and showed her a way out. In fact, he was using her to help King Ling'an enter the city. Only when King Ling'an entered the city could they block the entrance and exit and catch the turtle in the urn. He knew that Xie Sui'an and Xie Zhu were both members of Bingzhusi. They captured the old fox and left behind a shallow-minded little white rabbit. After that, Xie Sui'an would come to discuss anything with the "goose" in her mind, which was Nan Yi. .
Xie Queshan was involved in this, just to control Nan Yi's desire to live. Xi Liangbo Qianjin's few words made her unconsciously become an important part of the plan.
In the end, Bing Zhusi's information will flow to Nan Yi, and then from Nan Yi to Xie Queshan.
But how could she betray Xie Sui'an? What's more, betraying Xie Sui'an is betraying King Ling'an. The safety of the new emperor was bought with the lives of Pang Yu, Xie Hengzai, and countless people she didn't see. She didn't want to be the mole.
Seeing Nan Yi's silence, Xie Queshan just chuckled and was not in a hurry.
"It doesn't matter. I never like to force or threaten others. Think about it slowly and then answer me after you think about it."
At this time, He Ping's announcement came from outside.
"Sir, General Husha is here."
"Ask him to wait."
Hearing the name Usha, Nan Yi clenched her sleeves in fear - there was nothing to cover her face at this moment, if she was recognized by Usha... Xie Queshan was not a threat! He just doesn't like blood and is too lazy to hold a knife himself.
Nan Yi has different fears for Hu Sha and Xie Queshan. Husha is like a white knife that goes in and a red knife comes out, rough and cruel, but Xie Queshan is like a blunt knife that sharpens people. At least he won't kill you right away, and you will have the illusion that maybe you can escape at some point.
Xie Queshan nonchalantly picked up the remaining wax on the table and lit the candles in the room one by one. For a moment, the room was brightly lit with candles, and there was no shadow. When he raised his head again, Nan Yi was no longer in the room, and there was only one window that was barely covered.
It ran so fast, like a silent cat.
Xie Queshan walked to the window, and there was no figure visible outside the window.
"Escape doesn't work every time." He said in a deep voice, as if to himself, and closed the window.
Nan Yi hid in the corner outside the window, listening to all his words.
——It doesn’t matter whether he is useful or not, he can only escape once.
Nan Yi walked out with her waist hunched against the wall. She heard footsteps coming from inside the wall. The door opened and closed, and it must have been Usha entering the house. She didn't dare to move anymore, for fear that the slightest movement would disturb Usha.
It was completely silent at night, and Nan Yi didn't want to hear it at all, but the sound from the wall still reached her ears.
"Xie Zhu's bones are very hard. He said to death that he is not from Bingzhusi, and he doesn't know where King Ling'an is hiding. If he is punished severely, it will be somewhat ugly. After all, it is still your third uncle. I will do it. Let me ask you what you mean."
"My third uncle is loyal and courageous. It's not that easy to get words out of him. We might as well let him become a bait to lure Bingzhusi's accomplices out and catch them all."
Nan Yi's eyelids twitched and she immediately thought of Xie Sui'an - what if it was Xie Sui'an who jumped into the trap?
Unconsciously, Nan Yi moved his body towards the window so that he could hear it more clearly.
In the room, Usha thought for a moment and agreed with Xie Queshan's plan: "Okay, I'll do as you say."
After saying that, he took out a roll of parchment from his arms and put it on the low table. "I have rearranged the city defense in Lidu Mansion and placed our soldiers everywhere. This city defense map is confidential. Only Two copies - one for the young master to keep and the other to be kept in the army.”
"good."
Xie Queshan spoke concisely and comprehensively. He put the city defense map in the drawer and looked up at Husha. He already had an order to expel guests.
Seeing that Usha had no intention of leaving, he raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there anything else?"
Usha paused, then asked: "...I heard that you asked the widow who just joined the Xie family to be in charge of the Xie family's backyard. Why is that?"
Hearing them talking about him, Nan Yi suddenly became nervous and wanted to put his ear closer to them. When his feet moved slightly, he made a friction sound.
Nan Yi's movements froze, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Meow - a weak cat meow came into the room. Falcon Sha, who was facing a formidable enemy, breathed a sigh of relief, and Xie Queshan also smiled imperceptibly.
There was no emotion in his voice: "I want to overthrow the Xie family's order from the inside out. The more ignorant an outsider is, the more likely they are to destroy them."
Every word fell in Nan Yi's ears clearly, and the hair on his body was like a soldier's formation.
Every time she felt sympathy for Xie Queshan, he would slap her mercilessly with reality.
No wonder he wanted to help her, a low-ranking person, to such a high position. It turned out that he wanted to reverse human ethics and challenge centuries-old ethics in order to take revenge on the Xie family.
Xie Sui'an was right, he was a madman.
