The carriage stopped quietly in the dark alley behind Qingyuefang.

Jinbao poured tea for the two of them, and immediately retreated outside the carriage. Duan Shishifei got on the roof of Qingyuefang and waited for the signal from the house.

Xue Yan pushed the teacup in front of Jun Huailang and looked up at him.

I saw Jun Huailang sitting quietly in the carriage, not speaking, and looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking.

Xue Yan opened his mouth first and asked, "How?"

He meant something, that is, he asked Xu Cong'an to buy the oiran tonight.

After he found out Xu Cong'an's identity and knew about his relationship with Guo Rongwen, he had already started to prepare. He planned it carefully, and let Duan Shishi run back and forth for a few days before he considered the layout of the game and closed the net tonight.

Everything that happened tonight was under his control and went according to his plan. It could be said that there was no omission.

By this time, the dust had fallen, and his heart was a little itchy.

After doing so many things, he always wanted to hear Jun Huailang compliment him.

In the past, he never bothered to mention what he had done to others, and he never had the intention to show off.

His behavior was too precocious, but now with Jun Huailang on his side, those naive natures began to sprout.

He wanted to hear Jun Huailang compliment him, like a kid who did a great thing and went to someone to ask for candy as a reward.

He endured for a long time, and finally opened the mouth so reservedly.

But Jun Huailang, who was beside him, was still immersed in a kind of annoyance.

He has always been calm and self-controlled, and very reasonable, how could he have such unreasonable emotions? He clearly knew that Xue Yan was attracting Xu Cong'an, but because of this, he would eat some mindless vinegar.

Jun Huailang couldn't help but blame himself in his heart.

Therefore, he did not hear the words that Xue Yan asked, and he still looked out the window, immersed in his thoughts.

Xue Yan waited for a while, but didn't get a response from him.

The taciturn child reached out his hand for the first time, but didn't get the candy he wanted.

Xue Yan paused and asked, "What are you thinking about?"

Only then did Jun Huailang regain his senses.

"No, I'm just thinking about the dam in the north of the city." He wanted to cover up and lied.

After all, if he was asked to admit that he was jealous just now, he would not be able to say it.

The corners of Xue Yan's lips that had been rising faintly gradually sank.

Jun Huailang felt Xue Yan's displeasure quite keenly.

If this person is unhappy, he has always endured it and won't say it directly. Therefore, Jun Huailang, who will come back to his senses, did not ask directly, but changed the subject and said, "Today, the auction of the oiran in this building is done by you early in the morning?"

Xue Yan was surprisingly coaxed.

Just now, he was unhappy because Jun Huailang was distracted to think about other things. Now, when he heard Jun Huailang take the initiative to ask, the big wolf's tail couldn't help but wag a few times like a big dog. .

He turned his eyes away and hummed inadvertently.

"I found out that he was the one who caused trouble on the East Lake before, and I knew that this person was easy to cause trouble," he said.

Jun Huailang nodded and said: "The Xu family seems to have done it without leaving any traces, but they want to let the young master in the family walk around, and they also catch up with their informants in Jinling. As long as you do something on this young master, then It's easier than ever to make the two sides show their feet."

Xue Yan laughed softly.

"Very clever," he said.

These words made Jun Huailang's ears a little red.

Xue Yan didn't hide anything from himself, and now he brought himself to watch tonight's good show. The cause and effect of what he arranged are now on the table with him, and it is obvious.

What kind of cleverness is this... like coaxing a child.

Jun Huailang staggered his gaze.

At this moment, there was a sound of knocking on the carriage from outside the carriage.

Xue Yan knew that this was Duan Shishi coming back.

He put away the smile on his face, lifted the brocade curtain, and reached out to take a box from the window.

"The weight is wrong." Duan Shishi outside the window said.

The voice of the boy in the voice-changing period was not pleasant, like the sound of an owl lurking in the night.

Xue Yan hummed.

He also weighed the weight wrong, but he knew that the prostitute in this flower building was honest and smart, and would not give him any trouble at such a time.

He just opened the box.

On the top layer of the box, there was a neat IOU, and under the IOU was a thick stack of silver bills.

The amount is so heavy that the box is heavy.

"What?" Jun Huailang leaned over and saw the contents of the box.

"This...?" He was a little puzzled.

Xue Yan frowned and said, "I didn't ask her to give me the money."

Very troublesome. said that don’t need money, only need documents, how can still make own decisions?

His affairs in this brothel are very important, and he can save him trouble by giving him a few more money for the hush money and clearing the money and goods.

Xue Yan didn't understand human feelings, and naturally didn't understand why this old bustard didn't make any money, but returned all the hush money he gave.

But Jun Huailang knew at a glance why the mother in the brothel quietly gave the money to Xue Yan.

Although she is a happy woman, she has a personality and righteousness that are rarely seen in men.

Seeing Xue Yan frowning, he smiled and said, "This person is rare."

Xue Yan raised his eyes and looked at him suspiciously.

Just listen to Jun Huailang: "Since she has done this thing for you, even in order to protect herself, she will not leak it out. Therefore, she has no malice in giving you the money."

Xue Yan asked, "Then what does she mean?"

However, he wanted to take care of his heart, and Lang also said softly without laughing: "Of course, it's just because I don't make a sound, it's hard to do the mausoleum. It's difficult, the government is short of money. She roughly guessed. I have reached your status, so I will give you the money."

Xue Yan thought, oh, it turned out to be a donation to Lao Tzu.

He naturally disdains asking for money from a brothel girl, he just thinks it's superfluous. But he looked down at Jun Huailang, and saw a gentle and soft light flashing in his eyes.

It seemed that he admired that person very much.

Xue Yan had a bit of a toothache.

How can this person hold so many things in his heart? He is not thinking about the dykes in the north of the city all day long, or he is thinking about this irrelevant old bustard. It seems that he has this Jinling in his heart, and he doesn't know where Xue Yan was squeezed into by these messy things in Jun Huailang's heart.

Even so, he still wanted to keep these messy things from disaster, so as not to make Jun Huailang unhappy.

However, once they were born and cooked again, this time Xue Yan did a good deed, but he didn't plan to ask for candy afterwards.

"Then I can't ask for her money in vain." Xue Yan said. "If the Xu family falls, they will definitely come to seek revenge before they die. And today's woman, if Xu Cong's concubine is taken by her, she won't be able to run away from her."

Jun Huailang's face really showed concern: "Then how is this good?"

Xue Yan thought to himself, what about him? If you're not here today, I'll take care of them.

Everyone cares about life and death, but Xue Yan is not so leisurely.

But now it's different.

Xue Yan curled the corners of his lips, and in the darkness, he showed a somewhat rogue smile.

"You promise me one thing, and I'll send someone to protect them," he said.

——

Jun Huailang didn't expect that the thing Xue Yan said made him promise himself in exchange for those lives would make him laugh or cry like that.

It was just a promise to Xue Yan to allow him to accompany him to repair the embankment.

Now, Shen Zhifu and Duke Yongning take care of everything in the city. Xue Yan is busy these days, just to keep an eye on Guo Rongwen and Xu Cong'an's every move. Now that the plan has been successful, he has been idle these days.

Ordinarily, if he wanted to come, Jun Huailang naturally couldn't drive him away, but he wanted to play tricks and make Jun Huailang agree to go.

Jun Huailang had no choice but to nod in agreement.

So from this day onwards, the carriage of King Guangling stopped on the dyke in the north of the city every day, and the Jinyiwei in black gold flying fish clothes also guarded the construction site in the north of the city.

It is said that the King of Guangling is cruel and cruel, and now he has to personally supervise the repair of the dam.

At this time, all the officials, big and small, on the construction site were in danger, and they all played up their spirits.

But in fact, no one knew that His Royal Highness King Guangling came to the embankment every day, just to help the gentleman who supervised the repairs.

Tea is made, and meals are delivered three times a day. In addition, the gentleman must be forced to take a nap after lunch every day. During that time, the supervision and repair work is carried out by the King of Guangling himself.

Only then did Jun Huailang gradually realize that Xue Yan made this request because he saw that he was tired some time ago, and made a special trip to watch him to relieve himself of the pressure.

Jun Huailang only felt that this person was sometimes naive and tight, but at the same time, his heart was inevitably moved, as if warm water was flowing into his heart, making his limbs and bones wrapped in a tenderness.

In the past, even his father taught him from a young age that it is natural for a man to do things for the people's livelihood, even sacrificing his life is a matter of course.

But Xue Yan wanted to feel sorry for him, and he didn't say anything, just kept silent.

All of these, Jun Huailang could see into his eyes.

At nightfall, everyone on the construction site began to complete the finishing work for the day. Jun Huailang sat alone and was a little ecstatic.

He thought to himself, Xue Yan was happy to be alone. Since he was so gentle and meticulous, how could he have done such a thing in his previous life?

The Xue Yan in the book, in his eyes now, looks like a different person, and even makes him a little bit wrong.

Ever since that day, Jun Huailang had felt this way since he discovered the note. The longer the time, the clearer and more certain he felt, which made him involuntarily begin to question the book and even the destiny.

Jun Huailang looked at the lights and the crowd under the dam, and pondered to himself. Although he couldn't think of why, but Xue Yan's appearance and words and deeds lingered in front of his eyes.

...As soon as rest, can't help thinking about him.

After thinking about it, Jun Huailang's sleepiness swept up. Even with Xue Yan's help these days, the work of repairing the embankment is still getting heavier and heavier. I don't feel it when I'm busy, but once I stop, I feel a strong sense of tiredness.

Jun Huailang's eyes were a little blurry, he gradually lowered his head and started to doze off.

Between half-dreaming and half-awake, he did not notice that there was a dull and light sandalwood incense that gradually lingered around him.

Someone sat down beside him, pressing him carefully, making him lean on his shoulder.

Jun Huailang didn't realize it at all, but felt that he was suddenly calm and stable, and he was about to fall asleep.

This kind of security has always been brought by only one person.
