Chapter 118 Suspicious
Zhuo Ran stretched out her hand to pinch Li Yanchuan's cheek, and said, "Didn't I ask you to say this?"

Li Xunchuan grabbed her hand, rubbed it a few times, then glanced outside the door, and said, "I just don't think they have anything to do with the Los Angeles bandits."

Zhuo Ran saw it.Shao Hui and Tong Rong didn't look like that kind of person, but he looked a bit like Xiyu and Gu Zhao, a loyal person.Because of this, this guilt of doubting mistakes made Li Xunchuan a little flustered, even though this person has been in the field for a long time, he usually looks stable and not frivolous.

Li Xunchuan shook his head and said, "I actually checked them both. Since Shao Hui and Tongrong are in charge of the two ports in the east, they definitely wouldn't focus on the Ruoshuiwan side. Besides, they are still young..."

Zhuo Ran nodded and said, "I understand. They don't look like that kind of people, but living in such a simple place, are you sure they weren't isolated?"

"That's because you haven't seen them outside." Li Yuchuan smiled and said, "Jinpeng doesn't seem to want to talk too much about them, so I didn't ask too much."

Zhuo Ran looked into Li Yuchuan's eyes and said, "They are..."

Li Xunchuan nodded, Zhuo Ran was not surprised, she had seen it from the beginning, and she didn't quite believe that her own feelings could be wrong.Li Xunchuan nodded on Zhuo Ran's forehead, and said softly: "We will go to the Jin Commander's Mansion to discuss matters together later. If there is time, I will take you to Longshi Port and Tiequn Port."

"Let's settle the matter before us." Zhuo Ran sighed and said, "To be honest, even if I promised you to trust Wen Rongxi temporarily yesterday, I'm still not sure if I can do it."

Li Xunchuan pressed his forehead against her and said, "Is this intuition?"

Zhuo Ran gave a soft "hmm", and Li Yunchuan pinched Zhuo Ran's wrist without refuting.

Shao Hui was still preparing food with his head down, but Tong Rong leaned on the edge of the table to stare at him, and put his head in front of Shao Hui.

"What's wrong?" Shao Hui didn't look at him, and said, "What do you want to say?"

Tong Rong shook his head and said, "No, I just think the governor and this girl Li are a little bit unkind."

Shao Hui stuffed a small piece of cake into his mouth and said, "Don't think about it, get up and stand up."

"Don't you think it's strange?" Tong Rong chewed while talking, "As soon as something happened, he came to the door."

Shao Hui said, "Get up first."

Tong Rong straightened up, reached out and handed Shao Hui a glass of water, and said, "They suspect that we are internal agents?"

"Don't you know, you still ask me?" Shao Hui took the water glass and drank it up, and said, "But since we didn't do it, let's tell the truth, don't be afraid."

"I'm not afraid." Tong Rong shook his head and said, "I'm just worried that someone will take the opportunity to attack the two ports, and we were not there. We were really surprised by what happened to Commander Jin this time."

Holding the plate, Shao Hui motioned him to go out, and said, "The governor is not that kind of person, let's go."

Tong Rong followed behind his brother. When he entered the room, he saw Li Xunchuan and Zhuo Ran hugging each other. They stood there for a long time without moving. Li Xunchuan let go of Zhuo Ran, and they looked at each other awkwardly before sitting down and taking a good rest. Talked for a while.

It was almost noon when we arrived at the place where Jinpeng was temporarily staying.

Jing Shan was still following Wen Rongxi, the paleness of yesterday faded, and Wen Rongxi seemed to be radiant today.Li Xunchuan even wondered if he thought he was injured yesterday because he was delusional, but listening to his lack of breath in his speech, he knew that Wen Rongxi was holding on.

He was embarrassed to say anything, Zhuo Ran raised his eyes to look at Li Yuchuan, and then greeted Wen Rongxi on his behalf.

"By the way, Governor, just now I saw Xi Yu and Gu Zhao went to the side of Ruoshui Bay. It seems that there is something urgent." Jing Shan said with his hands clasped.

Li Xunchuan frowned when he heard the words, but soon relaxed, and said with a smile, "Oh, I let them go."

Wen Rongxi nodded and said, "Let's go in first."

Li Xunchuan lowered his head and held Zhuo Ran, but Zhuo Ran pulled his arm, and said softly: "Chi Yue, if I don't, I won't go in. After all, I didn't participate in Yi Dong's affairs. If you know more, it will be bad for you. .”

"Then you wait for me outside." Li Yuchuan drew a circle on her palm and said, "Don't run around."

Zhuo Ran nodded with a smile and said, "Understood."

Zhuo Ran heaved a sigh of relief after watching several people enter the yard, turned around and ran away.

Yi Dong's here is different from Yongzhou, and also different from Gaodu, but in her heart, it will never compare to Yongzhou.At this time, Yongzhou will be surprisingly peaceful, not the kind that no one speaks, but the sight of thousands of lights, the hustle and bustle of the streets, the night breeze caressing the ripples on the water surface, and the starlight and moonlight. Jingling, the sound is in the ear, and the sound is soothing.

She hasn't been quiet for a long time.

She doesn't like being so suspicious because she has no position.Wen Rongxi is Li Yanchuanxin's person, and they are still working together for the court. To put it bluntly, Li Yanchuan is Chu Shiyu's person. Although Chu Shiyu wanted to kill her before, he finally let her go, but there is a reason for all this , because Han Congzhong died. For the Dayu court, the threat was gone, and for the civil and military officials, the grudge was gone.

As long as Han Congzhong doesn't exist, Dayu seems to be the Chu family's world, which is a matter of course.As long as he is not around and Li Chengru is removed, then the matter of the orphan from the previous dynasty will naturally come to an end, and she, Zhuo Ran, has nothing to do with these matters.

This can be regarded as a successful retirement.

But what about Li Xunchuan?
He is a champion, but Chu Shiyu didn't want him to be discouraged by Zhuo Ting's incident at the beginning. After so many years, the arrogance that should be extinguished will soon be extinguished. He will return to Beili in the name of Champion Hou, and continue his responsibility of defending his family and country. Then he should not be obsessed with these children's affairs, and should not despise these things he already had for her.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution in this world, nor can Li Yanchuan do whatever he wants.His future is bright, but she is different, she just escaped by luck, the queen of the criminal in the eyes of the world.She had fantasized about fulfilling Han Congzhong's wish and rectifying her father's name at the same time, but now she no longer has the strength to pursue it.

Han Congzhong was gone, Zhou Yu and Chang Yinyu didn't know whereabouts, and she herself didn't know how many days she had left to live. It was ridiculous to say anything and do anything now, but she was unwilling, but there was nothing she could do.

She could bear this charge, but Li Xunchuan could not.

Zhuo Ran, with this name, it is worthwhile to travel around the world, at least she met these people, it is not a pity.

Thinking of this, she didn't seem to be sad either.This skin, this body, what can I do best for Li Yuchuan, and she will not have a hard time explaining to Zhuo Ting and Zhuo Yi when she is under the Nine Springs.

At least she was worth it.

Zhuo Ran raised her head, her brows and eyes were kissed by the breeze.

"Zhuo Siye, why are you here?" The moment Xi Yu turned his head, he saw Zhuo Ran standing alone beside Ruoshuiwan pier, with his eyes closed on his back and a slight smile on his face.

Gu Zhao pushed his arm to Zhuo Ran's side and asked him to ask a question.

Zhuo Ran opened her eyes when she heard the words, turned around and said softly, "Your master is still talking to Commander Jin and the others, so he may not be able to come out until later."

Xi Yu nodded and said, "Oh."

Gu Zhao lowered his head.

Zhuo Ran looked at the sparkling water, she reached out and touched the red string on her wrist, just remembered that she didn't ask for a new one for Li Yuchuan, and he didn't realize that his little bell was lost, so he must remember it when he went back later tell him.

"By the way, I just heard from Jingshan that you are here, but I think your master doesn't seem to know about it." Zhuo Ran said while stuffing the red string into his sleeve.

Xi Yu hurriedly explained: "We just heard that Mr. Wang Cheng is coming back today, so we blocked Gu Zhao here, afraid that he would slip away again."

Zhuo Ran raised her eyebrows and said, "Wang Cheng? You stayed in Luzhou a few days ago, and you came back so soon?"

"Say something." Xi Yu smiled, gritted his teeth and pinched Gu Zhao.

Gu Zhao broke away from his hand and said, "I just heard from passers-by, if we can really catch Mr. Wang Cheng, we can be considered as helping the master."

Zhuo Ran nodded lightly, and said: "But before you do anything, tell your master first, he will be anxious when he hears that you are not here."

Xiyu responded in a hurry.

Gu Zhao let out a long sigh.

"What's the matter?" Zhuo Ran looked at Gu Zhao and asked softly, "You think he won't show up?"

Gu Zhao shook his head and said, "If we're not [-]% sure, we won't wait here."

Zhuo Ran noticed that Gu Zhao's eyes fell on her neck, and she quickly moved away, and she didn't try to hide it.Occupying a period of time and energy in Li Xunchuan's life, saying anything will be cheap for him. If he stays in Yongzhou for the rest of his life, with this face and full of talent, Zhuo Ting will definitely find her someone who is ten times better than Li Xunchuan. Husband's.

Thinking of this, she felt that she was not at a loss.

This person is the king of Beili and the master of her heart.

"Let me accompany you." Zhuo Ran turned to Ruoshuiwan again, and Gu Zhao and Xi Yu could only stand behind her.

The man and the scenery beside the pier merged into a painting - the water surface sprinkled with golden autumn, the grass branches that have not yet withered and yellow, and the cinnamon that floats from time to time seem to cover the body of the person in front of him. Once, everything will be broken in the humble autumn landscape, and it will never be put together again, but it will become another painting.

Looking at Zhuo Ran's figure, Gu Zhao lowered his head slightly.

Even if Li Yuchuan was not a champion, such a woman would be fine.

Xi Yu raised his arm to hit him, Gu Zhao turned his eyes, and heard Xi Yu say: "I finally know why the master likes Zhuo Siye."

"Yes, everyone likes this face." Gu Zhao replied.

Xi Yu glared at him: "No taste."

Gu Zhao: "..."

Isn't taste based on face?
He was still staring at Zhuo Ran's back, and saw that person took a few steps forward, his feet were half hanging there, and he had the illusion that she would fall if the wind blows.

"Zhuo Siye, you'd better go back a little bit," Gu Zhao said.

Zhuo Ran looked back and asked, "Who did Wang Cheng come back with?"

***
"Yan Shu's plan is a bit extreme," Li Yuchuan twirled the ring. He made a rough guess yesterday. After hearing Jinpeng talk about their deployment, he became clearer and said, "First of all, is there any Los Angeles here?" We can't completely judge the bandits, and if we do this to scare the snake, the result of the matter will not be like this."

Wen Rongxi only nodded and said, "It's because I didn't think well."

Jin Peng shook his head and said, "I'm also at fault for this matter. But we have no choice but to test whether there are traitors in the city. This is the only way we can do it."

Li Xunchuan didn't speak.

There was no rush for this.Yi Dong hadn't fought for a long time, even if there were Jinpeng and Shaohui Tongrong, even if there were some who could fight, there must be a plan, human life is not a joke.

Li Xunchuan could also understand that Jinpeng denied his ability with rumors when he first saw him, but was eager to solve these things. It happened that Wen Rongxi thought the same way, and it was the most impulsive to hit it off like this.He even suspected that Wen Rongxi took the opportunity to let him leave Yi Dong because he would not act in the way, so that he and Jin Peng could complete their plan, not to save Zhuo Ran.

But he didn't dare to say that, it would be self-defeating.

Li Xunchuan sighed, held back his anger and said, "Let's not talk about it for the time being, since Shao Hui and Tong Rong are staying here, why don't you let them lead the soldiers to lie in ambush? Since you know there are more than one bandit in Luocheng, why do you take such a risk?" ? You also dismissed Xiyu and Gu Zhao, and Jingshan and Zisha are just a girl, can you take them down with a few people who know kung fu? Are you gambling with your life?"

Wen Rongxi and Jin Peng did not speak.

Li Xunchuan put his arms on the table, and replaced the Beili people, whoever dared to do this under his nose, would have been thrown into the horse manure pit by him and sobered up.

Sure enough, the soldiers of Beili are easy to talk, these are all people who they dare not offend, if they say too much, they will be overstepped.

But there is nothing less that should be said.

"Also, Commander Jin," Li Yuchuan faced Jin Peng, looked straight at him and said seriously, "I know that the origin of the assassin is unknown, why don't I leave a life to ask the truth, the lady wants to be saved, but I can't give up because of a moment of anger. There is no way out, so now there is no way out."

Jin Peng raised his head and said, "Then you mean that I shouldn't save my wife?"

Li Xunchuan bit his lip and said, "I didn't mean that. Commander Jin shouldn't kill them all. At least he should leave a clue. Nothing can be found out now. Isn't this a waste of time?"

Wen Rongxi coughed lightly, and said in a rough voice: "The Governor, calm down, I know we did something wrong in this matter, what should we do next, and I want to ask the Governor for advice."

Li Xunchuan pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a tight pain in his head.What he said were all loopholes. Wen Rongxi was always cautious in doing things, so how could he not notice it.But Jinpeng is also a commander anyway, a general, and he doesn't even understand this bit of common sense. Could it be that it is really just a display.

He felt something was wrong, but couldn't speak.

But he was asked to clean up the mess, and Li Xunchuan couldn't help feeling that he had been severely tricked, and even felt like a scapegoat.

Li Xunchuan's ability is obvious to all. Once something goes wrong, he is the first person everyone thinks of to take responsibility. This is the same as marching and fighting, but he would rather be punished on the battlefield.

If these people said it was intentional, they didn't look like it. If they said it wasn't intentional, how could they be full of loopholes.

"Those merchants basically can't open their mouths." Li Yuchuan thought for a while, and said: "The people Zisha girl checked are not compatible with these merchants at all. They may have heard the news and fled this time. The situation described is just a play."

Jin Peng and Wen Rongxi fell into silence again.

Li Xunchuan raised his eyes and said, "Shaohui Tongrong, don't stay here anymore, go back immediately."

"What are you going back to do now?" Tong Rong looked at Li Yuchuan and said, "Don't you want to help catch the traitor?"

Shao Hui silently patted him on the back, without changing his expression, and said, "Is the governor going to check if there are any Los Angeles bandits in these two ports?"

"Yes." Li Yanchuan nodded and said, "It is not ruled out that they will set their sights on the port. Besides, Yan's business route is also connected to the port. Check it out, it's okay."

Tong Rong looked at his brother and nodded.

Shao Hui nodded and said, "Then shall we go back now?"

Before the words fell, I heard the voices of Zisha and Jingshan talking in the courtyard.

Li Xunchuan breathed out slowly, he had never felt so sad about anything.Then he stood up and said softly, "Forget it, I'll go take a look outside."

Li Xunchuan opened the door, and saw Zhuo Ran and Xiyu Gu Zhao together, surrounded by Jingshan Zisha, who didn't know what to say, and they didn't hear him open the door until Zhuo Ran called out "Chi Yue ", several people barely stopped their voices.

"Xiaqiu." Li Yanchuan called softly, and saw a person squatting in the small circle surrounded by them, looking a little delirious.

Zhuo Ran watched a group of people follow Li Yanchuan out of the house, so she didn't go forward, but just waited for Li Yanchuan to come over.

"What's wrong?" Li Yanchuan looked into Zhuo Ran's eyes, and Zhuo Ran pointed to the people on the ground.

"This is Wang Cheng." Zhuo Ran said softly.

Li Xunchuan frowned.

Jing Shan and Gu Zhao threw the man into the house, and the man started behaving badly, rolling on the ground and refusing to get up, still muttering about eating.

Jin Peng's eyes widened, he stepped forward and brushed away his messy hair, barely showing his face, and said, "This... this is really Mr. Wang Cheng? Didn't you see him a few days ago and he's fine."

Wen Rongxi turned his body to look at it, and said, "What's the matter?"

Zhuo Ran thought for a while, and said, "The Governor originally wanted Xi Yu and Gu Zhao to go to Ruoshui Bay to see if there were any strange people. I walked to the pier just now and saw a boat with only him on it. I asked them to lend a helping hand, only to find out that it was Master Wang Cheng. It's just...he seems a little delirious."

Jin Peng frowned, pinched Wang Cheng's arm, and murmured, "It can't be an act."

Li Xunchuan said: "Xiyu, go find a doctor, Gu Zhao, prepare hot water and food, feed him and wash him clean."

"Yes." The two nodded slightly and left the house together.

Jinpeng and Jingshan went to help together.

"My lord," Zi Sha said softly, "It's time to change the medicine on your arm, I'll help you go back to your room and change it."

Wen Rongxi nodded and retreated.

"Then... governor, Tong Rong and I will go back first." Shao Hui took Tong Rong's arm and said, "Wait for the governor to come anytime."

Li Xunchuan nodded and said, "Go, be careful, I will go to your place as soon as possible."

After the room was empty, Li Yuchuan sighed a long time, hugged Zhuo Ran and smiled wryly twice.
