There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 72 Are you...afraid of the dark?

After a short chat, Liu Huixiang and Yang Zhilan went downstairs one after another.

Liu Huixiang, who was walking in front, was so beautiful that her gorgeous clothes made her look like a fairy descending to earth, passionate and charming.

Yang Zhilan followed behind and put on a set of clothes that were elegant and close-fitting. It could be seen that those were the clothes of Liu Huixiang when she was young.

Now it fits Yang Zhilan just right. She is short in stature and has a thin face, but her facial features and skin tone are good. She looks like a little girl next door.

However, there was a certain aura about her that was too strong. She walked in a serious manner, without Liu Huixiang's swaying posture, and her face was expressionless, unlike Liu Huixiang's smile.

In addition, Yang Zhilan was also carrying a medium-sized package in her hand, which should contain several sets of changes of clothes.

"Not bad. I almost don't recognize him."

Su Xian stood up and looked Yang Zhilan up and down.

Yang Zhilan was inexplicably flustered, but with a strong heart, she quickly calmed down, her face remained calm, and then she silently walked to stand next to Su Xian.

At this point, Yang Zhilan had already bathed and changed clothes, and got a few sets of clothes, it was time to say goodbye.

Liu Huixiang personally escorted them to the door. Her smile was gone, her mood was a little lost, and she hesitated to speak.

Until Su Xian and Yang Zhilan returned to the home next door and closed the door, Liu Huixiang still stood blankly at the door, looking at the dark street.

"Miss, Mr. Su and the others have already gone home. Let's close the door as well." Zhang Cuihua suddenly smiled.

Liu Huixiang spat, turned around and walked to the second floor, and argued, "I'm worried about sister Zhilan!"

Zhang Cuihua closed the door without comment and followed Liu Huixiang to her boudoir.

It was already getting late, so Liu Huixiang started to remove her makeup, while Zhang Cuihua brought a basin of hot water for the lady to wash her feet later.

After removing makeup, the plain Liu Huixiang took off her gorgeous coat, and she has a special charm, but it's not that eye-catching.

She was sitting on a small stool, with her skirt pulled down to her knees. A pair of jade-like little feet were gently placed in the foot basin, and the steaming hot water submerged the pair of jade feet.

Zhang Cuihua squatted in front of the footbath, gently massaging her feet with a pair of hard-working hands.

Zhang Cuihua spent three taels of silver to learn this massage technique. It is said that it can relax the muscles and activate the collaterals, which is very beneficial to women like Liu Huixiang.

"Miss, there are some good things, but you still need to take the initiative. If you hesitate for a moment, he will slip away!" Zhang Cuihua suddenly said meaningfully.

Liu Huixiang pretended not to understand and did not respond.

After a while, the foot bath was over, and Zhang Cuihua left with the foot washing water.

Liu Huixiang pulled the door bolt and before blowing out the oil lamp, she walked under the wall and looked up at Ping Lei, who was perfectly fit.

After standing in silence for a long time, seeing that Ping Lei didn't move at all and no one came down from above, Liu Huixiang shook her head and blew out the oil lamp, then went to bed and lay down.

The quiet night was torturous for Liu Huixiang before.

But now, it's not so painful, because she found a way to relax.

That is to close your eyes and imagine, and conceive the plot in your head...

In the dark night, she didn't know what wonderful thing came to her mind, the corners of her mouth gradually pulled up, and the arc that represented happiness lasted for a long time.

Unknowingly, a strong feeling of sleepiness came over me.

Liu Huixiang was getting ready to sleep.

Before falling asleep, she couldn't help but think of Zhang Cuihua's words just now.

Yes, the opportunity is fleeting, shouldn't we be more proactive?

……

When Su Xian and Yang Zhilan returned home, they went straight to the second floor.

According to Su Xian's assignment, Yang Zhilan temporarily stayed in the study, so after the two went up to the second floor, Yang Zhilan opened the study door, and Su Xian opened the bedroom door.

After closing the door, Su Xian yawned and took off his coat, then lay down on the bed with a new soft mattress in a "big" shape.

He didn't sleep much last night, and today he was running around again during the day. Now Su Xian feels very sleepy, and he almost went to see Zhou Gong just after lying down for a while.

Boom boom boom!
Suddenly, a gentle knock on the door woke Su Xian up.

"Yeah?" he asked casually.

"I?"

"who are you?"

"..."

There was silence outside the door for a while.

Su Xian rubbed her temples, got up and unlatched the door. After opening the door, she saw Yang Zhilan standing at the door holding a large ball of quilt. The quilt was too big and she was too short, so it was a bit difficult to hold it.

"What are you doing?" Su Xian was stunned for a moment.

"You kill..." Yang Zhilan just said two words and then shut up, because Su Xian had ordered not to say those words again.

"You want to make a floor in my room?"

"Ah."

"No, you are the number one killer of the inner guards, and you are still... afraid of the dark?"

"Not afraid!"

Su Xian rubbed his eyebrows, opened the door, and said, "Okay, come in."

Yang Zhilan held the huge quilt and walked calmly into the house. She walked to the place where the floor was laid last night, threw the quilt on the ground, and unfolded it into a long strip that could only accommodate one person.

Su Xian closed the door again and didn't bother to complain about her skills in making the bed and folding the quilt. She just jumped on the bed and lay down.

Yang Zhilan, who was next to the bed, straightened the pillow and lay down directly on it.

Neither of them spoke anymore, and the room became quiet. The moonlight was thin tonight, and it could be seen through the window through the window.

Su Xian was drowsy, and when he was about to fall asleep, a question suddenly popped up in his mind, a question that he had ignored. It was too uncomfortable to be stuck in his heart.

In the end, he was completely sleepless.

Yang Zhilan was lying on the floor next to the bed. She didn't know if she was asleep or not. It seemed that she didn't make any sound after lying down...

After thinking wildly for a while, Su Xian suddenly became enlightened. He remembered the thing he had forgotten, which was the little fairy Zi girl, the bandits outside the city, and of course the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom.

"Do you know Miss Xiaoxian Zi?" Su Xian asked casually in the quiet night.

"I've heard of it." Yang Zhilan didn't even sleep?
"Do you know that she is probably a bandit outside the city?" Su Xian asked.

"I don't know."

"Do you know about the connection between Miss Xian Zi and the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom?"

"I don't know. I only know that the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom may have come to Yingzhou."

"Last night, the reason why I hid behind that wall was actually to eavesdrop on the secret meeting between Miss Xiaoxian Zi and the secret envoy of the Liao Kingdom. But I didn't expect that it was you and the little pavilion leader who were waiting for you."

"Young Master is very concerned about this matter?" Yang Zhilan's voice remained as calm as ever.

"Of course I am concerned. If the little fairy Zi girl leads the Liao people to go south and invade the border, no one will be able to get away with it." Su Xian said.

After a moment of silence, Yang Zhilan got up from the floor and said, "I can investigate this matter overnight."

"Investigate?"

"Not bad!"

"Aren't you a killer? Can you still investigate?"

"can."

"But it's so late..."

"It's better to investigate at night."

Su Xian also got up from the bed, thought for a while, nodded and said: "Okay, then you can go, you can start from Pinyu Pavilion, because Miss Xiaoxian Zi held a poetry banquet there last night."

"Yes!" Yang Zhilan turned and walked towards the window like a robot.

"Wait a moment."

Yang Zhilan stopped and looked back.

Su Xian warned: "Pay attention to safety. If something cannot be done, don't take risks. Also, come back early."

Pay attention to safety, and if there is nothing you can do, don't take risks... Yang Zhilan repeated this sentence repeatedly, and her heart was touched.

The former small cabinet leader would not say this when arranging tasks.

What the little cabinet leader said was: "If you fail to complete the task, you will be punished!"
