() Liu Jibei was taken aback and said: "Actually, I was just about to ask about Helian's expansion. According to Yang Zhong, a few days ago, Yu Wenyong sent Yu Wenzhi to Mengzhou

, I plan to verify where Yuwen Shenju and Wang Gui are.

What he did. Unexpectedly, as soon as Yu Wenzhi passed through Fengqiyuan, he encountered a strong man, and the leader was Helian Tuojiang. As a result, after the two sides fought, except for Yu Wenzhi who escaped back alone, all the people he led

All the people who went there disappeared."

Gao Yingqi said: "Eldest brother and Jialuo disappeared at the same time. I stayed in Shangluo County to look for him. Helian Tuojiang wanted to stay and help me, but General Yuwen said that he could meet him if he didn't stay in front. Why bother with both of them?

People blindly mixed together. After hearing this, he thought it made sense, so he followed the army. When I caught up with the army in vain, he had already left the army. When I asked him the reason, I realized that he was impatient.

Live alone, live alone

He went to find Jialuo. General Yuwen was afraid that he would be in trouble alone, so he selected a small group of Yulin troops for him to drive. After that, even he and the Yulin troops under his jurisdiction were like stone, and there was no sound at all. General Yuwen afterwards

I sent people to search, but still found nothing. Before I arrived in Chang'an this time, General Yuwen also repeatedly asked me to ask about his whereabouts. I didn't expect that my elder brother didn't know. Alas, where did this guy go?

"

Liu Jibei sighed: "Before I came to Chang'an, I asked Jialuo if he should go back to find Helian Tuojiang. At that time, Jialuo thought that if Helian Tuojiang could not find her, he would definitely run back to the desert.

Bei, maybe he really did that."

Gao Ying shook his head and disagreed with this. He reminded Liu Jibei: "If Helian Tuojiang really returned to Mobei, what else would he do with those Yulin troops? I think this is something fishy.

, the inside story must not be simple."

Liu Jibei thought that this was also the case, so he remained silent.

Seeing that he stopped talking, Gao Ying suddenly remembered something, so she looked for something to say and asked: "That day Jialuo and his eldest brother disappeared together, what happened?

When Liu Jibei saw him asking about it, he recalled the situation at that time and gave a brief and concise account of the journey from Shangluo County to Chang'an, naturally omitting the erotic love affair between Jia Luo and Yang Jian in the ruined temple.

After hearing this, Gao Ying asked: "So Jialuo is really Duguxin's daughter. Now that she has recognized her ancestor and returned to the clan, it is really a good thing."

Liu Jibei said "hmm" and said, "There's more than one good thing. She's going to get married in a few days."

Gao Ying asked curiously: "Who is she going to marry?"

Liu Jibei said in surprise: "Have you not seen her before? Why don't you know about this?"

After finishing speaking, he saw Gao Ying touching her nose, still looking confused, so he explained: "Actually, Jialuo and Yang Jian have known each other for a long time. On the way to Chang'an, Yang Jian and Jialuo

We get along more harmoniously, and we appreciate each other deeply.

They fell in love with each other. After arriving in Chang'an, they went to Dugu Mansion through Yang Zhong to propose marriage. Since the two families were family friends, they hit it off immediately. After discussion, the two families decided to get married on the eighth day of April, the Longhua Meeting.

.”

Gao Ying patted her head as if she had just woken up from a dream, and said, "No wonder Jialuo left in a hurry after arriving. He refused to enter Yang's house. It turned out to be because he was afraid of violating a taboo."

Liu Jibei said with a smile: "It's natural. The new daughter-in-law hasn't even married yet, so she just stays at her husband's house. She doesn't gossip about her, and she's afraid of getting into trouble."

Gao Ying also put her hands on her hands and said with a smile: "I didn't meet my eldest brother when I first arrived at the Yang Mansion. I refused to tell the truth no matter what. Yang Jian had no choice but to find Jia Luo. In the end, this girl didn't even enter the manor, and Yang Jian

He also looked uncomfortable. At that time, I was muttering in my heart, not knowing what was hidden in it. Now after my elder brother told me, I realized that it was so, haha!"

Seeing how happy Gao Ying was, Liu Jibei smiled and said, "It's not you marrying the bride, how can you be so happy?"

Gao Ying said seriously: "Brother, I don't know. I also have a close relationship with the Dugu family. Now that I know that Jialuo has a home, I am naturally happy for it."

Liu Jibei chatted with Gao Ying for a while, then suddenly remembered something and asked, "How are you and Fan Jineng?"

Ba Yang entrusted them to me, no matter what, she wanted to fulfill her wish.

The two talked for a while until someone brought dinner. After Liu Jibei took a few bites, he said to Gao Ying: "I have to go out to do some errands in the evening. Brother, please rest early."

Gao Ying asked doubtfully: "Why do we have to do it at night? Can't we do it tomorrow?"

Liu Jibei smiled slightly and said: "It's a dark moon and a high wind, it's the right time to kill someone!"

Gao Ying was shocked: "What? Brother is going to kill someone!"

Liu Jibei smiled and said, "Do you think my eldest brother is a person who likes to kill?" Without saying anything more, he turned around and went out.

He quietly walked out of Yang Mansion, walked north along Huayang Street, then turned into Shangguanqian Street, walked leisurely through Jingzhao Mansion, and then turned into Dumen Avenue, sandwiched among all kinds of passers-by.

, heading north.

Liu Jibei was walking, thinking in his mind. The first time he drank at Liu Xuanshi's wine shop, he met Yu Xin and Yin Buhai. Before they left, Yu Xin had informed Liu Jibei that Yu Xin and Yin Buhai

Bu Hua lived near Xuan Ping Gate and accidentally revealed Yu Jin's address.

At that time, Liu Jibei didn't care, but he didn't expect that it would be useful now. As he walked, he lamented the coincidence of cause and effect in the world.

Xuanpingmen is the same as Beidi. Most of the people living there are powerful people. When Liu Jibei turned around the street and walked into Shangguan Back Street, he looked at the mansions not far away and couldn't help but feel a strange feeling.

An aura of wealth.

Because Liu Jibei walked leisurely, by the time he arrived at Xuanpingmen, it was already the second watch, and the number of pedestrians on the road gradually became sparse. He successively found a few people, asked where he was going, and followed the instructions towards Yu Jin's house.

The mansion comes.

When he arrived at the place he was looking for, he couldn't help but smile to himself. It turned out that Yu Xin lived next to Yu Jin, the two mansions were next to each other, and Yin Buhai's residence was two courtyards away from Yu Xin's mansion.

Liu Jibei stayed in a secluded corner of the alley. He looked around and saw no pedestrians, so he jumped into a big tree next to him.

He quickly climbed to a high place, lay down among the branches, and looked towards Yu Jin's mansion through the dim starlight. He vaguely saw that behind the gatehouse, there were three courtyards. The houses in each courtyard were symmetrical about the central axis.

The left and right sides correspond to each other. The gradient between the courtyards is consistent and appears to be extremely regular.

At that time, some rooms in the mansion had turned off the lights, and only the last few rooms were still on. Because of this, the mansion was very quiet, and there was no noisy atmosphere like Otsuka Zaifu.

Liu Jibei secretly thought: It seems that because of his high position and power, his residence is not as luxurious as he imagined.

He stayed quietly on the tree, and accidentally glanced at Yu Xin's mansion again. Although he couldn't see it clearly, he vaguely felt that although it was not as layered as Yu Jin's mansion, it was better than Yu Jin's mansion.

The layout of the mansion is more exquisite, and it has the flavor of small bridges and flowing water.

When Liu Jibei saw that there was only a high wall between the two mansions, he couldn't help but have an idea and thought to himself: How about I enter Yu Xin's mansion first, and then sneak into Yu's mansion without anyone noticing.

Thinking of this, he got down from the big tree and strolled to the door of Yu Xin's house. He pondered for a moment, grabbed the door knocker, and knocked a few times.

Not long after, someone inside was heard muttering in a low voice and asking: "Who is knocking on the door so late?"

Liu Jibei cleared his throat and said calmly: "I am a good friend of Yu Kaifu. I was invited by Yu Kaifu to come here tonight."

The man inside muttered again: "Master, it's true. Why are you inviting someone here so late? It seems like you'll have to sleep late again tonight."

Then Liu Jibei heard the sound of opening the door bolt, and then saw a gap in the red lacquer door, and an old man poked his head out.

He looked Liu Jibei up and down, rubbed his eyes and said, "Why do you think you are so unfamiliar? May I ask your name?"

Liu Jibei smiled slightly and said unhurriedly: "I am from the south of the Yangtze River. I am an old acquaintance of Yu Kaifu. I met him yesterday and agreed to come to visit tonight. Could you please inform me inside?

He knew he was coming down."

The old man guarding the door was dubious and stretched out his hand to open the door wider. Then he scratched his head and said, "In that case, please wait here, sir. I'll go inside and let you know."

After finishing speaking, the old man turned sideways, beckoned Liu Jibei to enter the door, pointed to a bench under the door, motioned for Liu Jibei to sit down, and then turned around and walked inside.

Liu Jibei watched him go away, and quickly looked around. When he saw no one around him, he stood up, first covered his face with the mask in his arms, and then quickly ran to a place in the courtyard.

Behind the rockery, hiding in the shadows.

Not long after, Liu Jibei heard footsteps and took a closer look. He couldn't help but chuckle in his heart. It turned out that Yu Xin followed the old man guarding the door and came out.

When he arrived at the gatehouse, the old man looked around and saw no one, and said in confusion: "That person was clearly sitting here just now, so why has there been no trace of him in this moment?"

Yu Xin stood there and looked around, and asked doubtfully: "Yu Fu, are you sleepy? Is there anyone here?"

Surprised, he flicked his sleeves, turned around and left, and said rather dissatisfied: "Hurry up and close the door. If a stranger comes again, ask who he is first. Don't disturb me for no reason."

Seeing Yu Xin walking away, the old man muttered angrily: "Who knew it was one of your bastard old friends who came here to play for no reason after he was full?"
