Chapter 40 A Game of Cat and Mouse
"Reporting to the crown prince, this subordinate just saw Teng Xuanyi on the street!"

What?Heng Cang was shocked, why did he come back here again?Didn't you leave in a hurry after checking nothing before?

Turning to look at Ningfu, she had a calm face.

With Teng Xuanyi's resourcefulness, he should like to think deeply about everything. He thought that the most dangerous place would be difficult to detect if he made a blatant disturbance...On the street?Is this intentional to lure yourself out?
"Ningfu, it seems that it is not suitable to stay here for a long time."

Heng Cang said with some apprehension.

After pondering for a moment, his eyes turned gently: "Prince, I'm afraid that Teng Xuanyi thinks so too!"

"what for?"

"They are ostentatiously trying to attract our attention. If they make a move, they will hit his target; if they don't move, what would you think if it was you?"

Heng Cang's eyes brightened: "If you don't move, either the person you want to find is not here, or you get the news and evacuate quickly! You won't be so stupid as to just sit and wait..."

Ning Fu smiled and nodded, looking at him meaningfully.

"Don't say that there are countless private houses in this town, just say that we moved here without anyone noticing, looking for it? Then let him look for it... If he is not afraid of delaying time, why should we mind playing with him? play?"

Heng Cang heaved a sigh of relief, what she said seemed to make sense... Even if Teng Xuanyi is in Fengling Town right now, so what?Responding to all changes with the same is not necessarily a good strategy!

Outside the imperial capital, in the barracks, and inside the tent.

Luo Yiyao was crouching in front of the desk, concentrating on painting, when Nine Crowns walked in, and was amazed to see the lifelike colorful sparrow.

"What you drew is..."

"Kite."

"Oh?"

Raising his head and putting down his pen, Luo Yiyao explained:

"When you brought those two back, Wei'er saw this colorful sparrow and liked it very much, so she asked me to make a kite in its shape."

It turns out that this is the case, it seems that Lingyi's trip was worthwhile...

"What's up?"

"No……"

They were not here at the moment, which just gave me a chance to question carefully, but, where should I start asking?Nine Crowns felt a little unnatural, walked to the side and sat down.

"It's nothing, there's nothing wrong with the army right now, I just wanted to chat with you."

With a slight smile, Luo Yiyao already understood in his heart, it is better to be straightforward than going around:
"You want to ask how I met Wei'er, and how did I get involved with those two brothers?"

As expected, it was much easier to talk to a wise man, Nine Crowns narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"It's all a coincidence."

"how do I say this?"

"Before I speak, can you answer me a question?"

"Yes!"

"You know what I'm going to ask?" Luo Yiyao raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.

Jiu Guan smiled: "You want to ask if I knew her before she lost her memory, right?"

It seemed that his guess was correct, Luo Yiyao put down a stone in his heart, and after thinking about it, he said slowly:
"A few days ago, I went to collect medicine in Danxue Mountain, and I happened to meet her. Seeing that she was alone and a woman, I was worried about some danger, so I kindly took her in."

It turned out that Xi'er had really been to that mountain, at first she thought Zhu Lan's news was wrong, it seems that she asked the right person!

Nine Crowns nodded: "What happened next?"

"Later, I happened to meet those two brothers. Teng Xuanyun was injured and happened to pass by my house. I helped him stop the bleeding and bandaged him. That's how we got to know each other..."

Luo Yiyao also told the whole story of what happened afterwards.

After listening to this series of events, Nine Crowns took a deep breath, and it turned out to be like this...

"So, who is Wei'er?"

Luo Yiyao looked at Nine Crowns seriously, and asked in a low voice.

Ah!Before asking who you are, you asked me first!Nine Crowns frowned, but did not intend to answer.

Seeing that he was silent, Luo Yiyao didn't ask further:
Even if you don't say it, you can guess about [-]% or [-]% by yourself. I think everyone already knows it, so what if you answer or not?
Luo Yiyao waved his hand and continued:

"She is good to anyone, just protect her, that's right!"

Until now, Nine Crowns felt a little more at ease.Some things don't need to be said too clearly. Since there is the same tacit understanding, why bother to find out?

"I don't know how they are doing now. I think your three friends are more reliable..."

After finishing speaking, Luo Yiyao picked up the pen and continued to draw with his head down.

Looking at the handsome young man in white in front of him, Jiu Guan raised the corners of his mouth: He is really a strange person!
But at this very moment, in Doctor Qiu's home in Fengling Town, the reliable young man that Luo Yiyao called was looking at Teng Xuanyun with frowning eyes, what happened to his sudden surprise?
"What do you remember?" Zhu Lan asked.

Everyone looked at Teng Xuanyun curiously, only to see him stomp his feet vigorously, shouted "Oops", and grabbed Teng Xuanyi's sleeve:

"Fourth brother! Do you still remember how we met Luo Yiyao?"

Luo Yiyao?At the foot of Danxue Mountain, the herb house, injured...

Teng Xuanyi nodded thoughtfully: "You mean..."

"Yes! I saw them on the street just now! At that time, I only thought they looked familiar, but I didn't recall them for a while. It wasn't until I heard Dr. Qiu mention Luo Yiyao that I realized it!"

Several people were confused, and had no idea what the two brothers were talking about.

Xin Ruo walked in with pear tea, and seeing that everyone looked different, she quietly walked towards Zixi.

Unexpectedly, the girl came towards her with gritted teeth, waved her hand at herself, and angrily threw out two words:
"hateful!"

What happened to the effort of making tea?Xinruo put the tea tray on the table and stood aside silently.

Seeing her speaking, Zhu Lan hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Do you know what they are talking about?"

Raising his hand and clenching his fist, Zixi opened his eyes and shouted angrily:
"Those bastards are fake hunters! If you kill someone, you will kill them! What kind of wild geese are you shooting!"

In a word, Teng Xuanyun almost fainted...

He rushed in front of Zixi with a stride, and held her arm tightly: "Do you mean that the young master is not as good as a bird?"

"No...not..." Zixi was taken aback, shook her head, and stammered.

Is this okay?The third young master was startled, and was about to rush up and beat up that presumptuous kid!
Suddenly, seeing Teng Xuanyun smiling all over his face again, he lightly raised his other hand, patted Zixi's head, and said two words meanly, "You're so good!"

This kid...Zixi was right, he just owed it!Yan Tong and Mi Yuan met each other's eyes, they had a tacit understanding.

"Okay, we should go!"

Teng Xuanyi looked a little heavy, turned around and continued to Doctor Qiu:
"I'm bothering you today, we still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first."

"Okay, Yiyao, please take care of me!"

Teng Xuanyi nodded: "Don't worry."

Hearing the fourth brother's words, Teng Xuanyun pulled Zixi and walked out.

"Hey! Let me go!"

"Don't let it go!"

"Will you let it go?"

"Don't let it go!"

There is no reason for this, Yan Tong just wanted to rush out, but was grabbed by Zhu Lan: "He is looking for bad luck, what are you going to do?"

"Oh!"

As soon as Zhu Lan finished speaking, a scream came from the courtyard.

The little princess kicked hard from behind, and the sixth prince fell to the ground in the blink of an eye...

The house roared with laughter, and the courtyard screamed again and again...

It was almost dusk, the restaurants and teahouses on the street were brightly lit, and the guests coming in and out were very lively.The seven people led the horse and walked on the street, which was particularly conspicuous.

Zixi stopped in front of a courtyard door that was brightly lit and glazed crystal pendants were hung everywhere.

She looked over curiously, and saw strings of little red lanterns hung on the two thick red lacquer pillars at the door, and a few beautifully dressed women stood there coyly, waving silk handkerchiefs in their hands, towards the door. Here she yelled coquettishly, "My lord, come on..."

Zixi turned her head, looked eagerly at the young masters behind her, and asked seriously:

"It seems to be calling you, those girls, do you know each other?"

Hearing this sentence, Xin Ruo bit her lips hard, and tried her best to hold back her laughter: Talent!This girl is definitely a talent!
　Don't let others see through you easily, this is the best self-protection!
