Brother Yan and Brother Yan

  The next day, Wang Fu.

  Li Yan, Guan Qing and Wang Min stood outside the quiet hall, their eyes fixed on the tightly closed door of the quiet hall, as if waiting for something.

  "Click." A clear sound of the door locking came from inside the house, and they could vaguely see a white corner of clothing through the gap under the door.

  At this time, Yan Sanbai said in the house: "The lock is fine, come out now."

  Everyone couldn't help but focus their attention, just wanting to see how Yan Sanbai would walk out of the quiet hall with the door already locked. Then,

  "Whoosh!" With a sound, Yan Sanbai pushed the door open and stood in front of the hall with a smile on his face, looking at the surprised expressions of everyone present.

  Li Yan walked up to the door in big strides, looking at the open door in surprise, shaking his head and laughing, "The door can actually be opened like this, it's really an eye-opener for me."

  Swallows fly in threes, "After all, who has stipulated that doors must be opened from the middle?"

  Only the vermilion gate was seen, and it was actually pushed open by Yan Sanbai from the connection between the door and the wall. There was a very hidden mechanism there, which could be opened with a clever push. The middle door lock was still intact, and at first glance, the quiet hall seemed to be a secret room. But as Yan Sanbai said, the door had actually been open all along.

  Guan Qing stepped forward, and the rejection and scrutiny in his eyes were already gone. He untied a pouch from his waist and handed it over, "Lord Yan is indeed meticulous, this is your salary, now returned as promised."

  Yan Sanbai's emotions were somewhat agitated as he took it over, and a sincere "thank you" came from the bottom of his heart.

  Guan Qingci smiled slightly, just a hint at the corner of his mouth, and if you didn't look closely, you wouldn't notice it. Following Yan Sanbai's hint, they also found the real place where Wang Jicheng was murdered. Some things need to be thought about in reverse; since Wang Qi and Lu Boran were accomplices, they must have known where the crime scene was. These two didn't have the guts or cleverness to deliberately take Guan Qingci to the correct location, so as long as you pay attention to their behavior, looking in the opposite direction would be the way to go.

  Up to now, this case has been thoroughly concluded.

  Magistrate Guan is still the stern and imposing Magistrate Guan. With a casual clench of his fist, "This official has other duties to attend to, I bid you farewell."

  Yan Sanbai's last wisp of melancholy, stirred up by Lu Lingge, also dissipated with the wind, and he stretched out his hand to bid farewell to Guan Qing.

  After Guan Qing left, Wang Min also had to leave soon. He returned to the Wang Manor only to pack his luggage and take his mother and sister to Diancang Mountain together. Zhong Bo prepared to stay in the bamboo forest behind the mountain to guard the tomb for the three of them until old age, in order to atone for his sins. And Wang Min had obtained Lu Shuangxing's inheritance, would be cultivated as the sect leader, when he grew up a bit, perhaps he would become the youngest sect leader on Jianghu.

  The mantle of the Guihe School ultimately fell on Wang Jingchuan's shoulders after many twists and turns, as cause and effect came full circle.

  "Brother Yan, you must come back to visit me at HeHuanPai in the future." The young boy bid farewell to this still unfamiliar, yet someone who had given him support during his life's greatest sorrow. His back was straight, with his left hand holding onto his mother and right hand holding onto his little sister, that departing figure looked just like his father.

  Yan San Bai believed that after many years had passed, when they met again, it would be his time to soar with the wind and transform into a dragon.

  The case was closed, and the salary was received. Yan Sanbai also planned to leave at this point, bidding farewell to that friend who said "all encounters are destined", and continuing his journey of wandering in the clouds.

  However, a friend pulled him back, Yan Sanbai turned his head and looked at him in confusion, "Your Highness, is there something else?"

  Li Yan looked at him with a strange expression, his phoenix eyes seemed to be bulging slightly, "Aren't you hungry?"

  Yan Sanbai rubbed his belly, "Uh..."

  "Are you hungry?" Li Yan apparently misunderstood Yan Sanbai's meaning, pulled him up and walked away. "I'm also hungry, let's hurry, we might still make it if we go now!"

  "Ah!" Yan Sanbai was caught off guard by him and ran together with him. The two of them were running on a deserted street in Chang'an City, the spring breeze blowing against their red and white clothes, their handsome faces attracting the attention of passersby along the way.

  "Your Highness! Where are you going?"

  "You will know when you get there!"

  Yan Sanbai thought that it was still early for the city gate to close, so he followed Li Yan and ran with him. Although Li Yan was a noble as the King of Luoyang, he had an air of freedom that no one in the jianghu had, and he had helped Yan Sanbai many times before, so delaying for a bit wouldn't hurt.

  Only after arriving at their destination did Yan San Bai become extremely suspicious - why had they just run?

  "Boss, give me two big buns, as big as my face!" Li Yan said to the old man selling buns at Qu Shui Bridge.

  The old man's eyesight wasn't very good either, and he compared with Li Yan, "Young master, your face is too small!"

  A beautiful melon with a small face, generally won't be too big, at least smaller than an old man's pancake.

  Li Yanwei awkwardly said under Yan Sanbai's gaze that was trying to hold back laughter, "Then give me two buns as big as my face."

  The old man finally gave him two baked buns, Li Yan took them over and was about to hand one of them to Yan Sanbai, but suddenly thought of something and withdrew his hand halfway.

  Yan Sanbai was stunned - why?

  Li Yan took the pancake back, blew on it a few times at the edge of his mouth, and handed it back. "Try to see if it's still hot."

  Yan Sanbai looked at him and suddenly felt a little moved. He had traveled the world for many years, meeting countless friends, but only Li Yan was so considerate.

  "Thank you." He took it over, said a thank you. Lowered his head and took a bite, hmm, still a bit hot, so he blew on it again, this time it was really not hot anymore.

  Li Yan saw it with his own eyes and remembered it in his heart, thinking that next time he should blow a bit harder.

  Actually, Li Yan was more curious about the mystery that might be hidden on Yan Sanbai's body. How did he survive all these years with such an unpredictable temper?

  After eating the shaobing, Yan Sanbai wanted to take his leave, but Li Yan stopped him again and said: "Don't be in a hurry to go, my grandmother wants to see you. I promised her that I would bring you back to celebrate her birthday."

  "Grandma?" Yan Sanbai tilted his head and thought for a moment, Li Yan's grandma was... the Empress Dowager?!

  Yan Sanbai shook his head hastily, "No, no, no, I won't go."

  Li Yan said with a smile, "I've already boasted to the empress dowager that I'll bring you back. If I don't succeed, she'll definitely punish me and at least make me stay in the palace for 49 days without leaving. Brother Yan, you just ate my pancake, how can you watch me die and not save me?"

  "This..." Yan Sanbai hesitated.

  Li Yan held a folding fan in his hand and stood in front of his chest, "Amitabha Buddha, saving one life is better than building a seven-story pagoda, donor."

  Yan Sanbai was also amused by him, "Since it's an invitation from the Empress Dowager, then let's go."

  In fact, as Li Yan's identity, he could have directly ordered Yan Sanbai to enter the palace, but he didn't. This intention was naturally understood by Yan Sanbai. It seemed that it was just going to the palace to let the empress dowager take a look, and there was no big deal.

  Ling Ting waited for them at the palace gate, following an unreliable master, he had to learn to find his own way.

  As for the imperial palace, Yan Sanbai had been there once when he was a high school champion, so it wasn't very unfamiliar to him. However, this time Li Ye brought him straight to the rear palace, where the concubines lived, and Yan Sanbai couldn't help but feel embarrassed walking among them. A gentleman should not look at what is not proper, nor listen to what is not proper, so when he occasionally ran into palace servants on the road, Yan Sanbai didn't even glance at them.

  It was during the courtesy visit to the King of Luoyang that he was given a thorough look. It's rare for an unfamiliar man to enter this harem, and this one is handsome, how can the passing palace maids suppress their excitement?

  Biased towards Li Yan, who is good at handling matters, whenever he meets someone, he introduces him as the chivalrous detective Yan Sanbai, which makes the palace maids' eyes shine with excitement, and it's likely that in no time, all the ladies of the various palaces will know that Yan Sanbai has arrived.

  Swallow three white really is helpless to the extreme, and cannot stop, but did not think that more helpless still in the back.

  Arriving at Empress Dowager's Guanghe Palace, Li Ye hadn't seen anyone yet when a clear voice rang out, "Grandma, I've brought the Number One Scholar!"

  Yan Sanbai almost fell behind, and hastily pulled Li Yan's sleeve, lowering his voice: "Your Highness, in this palace, you can't call me that."

  Li Yan looked at Yan Sanbai's ears, which were again flushed with redness, and became more curious - what was wrong with this title? Why did it seem like he was teasing Yan Sanbai three times in a row?

  Li Yan was about to ask, but at this time the imperial concubine Bi Xiang beside the Empress Dowager had already come out to greet them, so Li Yan could only suppress his curiosity and lead the way in.

  The empress dowager sat in a chair and, seeing Li Yan and Yan Sanbai walk in, smiled with her eyes shining, "Come come come, hurry over."

  Yan Sanbai rubbed his nose, took a step forward and performed a civil official's salute. "Yan Sanbai pays respects to the Empress Dowager."

  "Marquis Yan, don't be so formal, come, step forward a bit, let me take a good look." The Empress Dowager was like an ordinary kind-hearted old lady, delighted to see the handsome young man, pulling him in front of her, examining him carefully. "Indeed, just as rumored, he's quite handsome, just like our family's Little Feng'er."

  Yan Sanbai felt a little embarrassed, and then he was stunned again. Xiao Feng'er? What Xiao Feng'er? Who is Xiao Feng'er?

  He turned his head and saw Li Yan unnaturally turning his head away, with his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed - a giveaway that something was amiss.

  Swallow three white suddenly produced a burst of joy, wind and water turn around.

  At this time, a palace maid brought tea, and the empress dowager asked Yan Sanbai to sit down and tell her some interesting stories about what was happening outside the palace. Yan Sanbai chose some less bloody but more interesting cases to talk about, he was a Wen Shuangyuan, originally eloquent, although not as fascinating as the storytelling master, but also had its own flavor.

  The empress dowager was delighted to hear this, and her impression of Yan Sanbai became even more favorable. She ordered Bi Xiao to bring many pastries for him to eat. The pastries in the imperial palace were indeed extraordinary, and even someone like Yan Sanbai, who had little desire for fine food, couldn't help but eat a lot without realizing it.

  Li Yan saw that he liked it, so he pushed all his dishes over. Yan Sanbai touched his nose, feeling a bit embarrassed, but the empress dowager just covered her mouth and smiled, not teasing him at all.

  Just as they were chatting happily, someone suddenly announced: "The Crown Prince has arrived!"

  Yan Sanbai couldn't help but look outside, and saw a child about four or five years old, with red lips and white teeth, wearing a red shirt and white silk pants walking in. Although he was just a child, he was the crown prince, and had been taught to be knowledgeable and reasonable from a young age, so despite his youth, he walked with a serious expression, very dignified and polite.

  "Grandma Zǔ, Brother Yàn, Master Yàn." The tender childish voice was clear and round, calling out one by one, not missing a single one.

  "Little dumpling, come here quickly." The empress beckoned to him, and the prince revealed a bit of his lively and mischievous childlike nature, running to her side with quick steps.

  The Crown Prince Li Zhen Duan, because he was born on the Dragon Boat Festival, the emperor gave him this festive name, which means "polite and proper". As for Xiao Zongzi, it must be the Empress Dowager who gave her lovely grandson a milk name.

  The little dumpling was held onto the chair and sat close to the empress dowager, but a pair of bright big eyes kept glancing at Yan Sanbai. Li Yan saw it and pinched his little nose playfully, "What are you looking at?"

  The little dumpling shook its head, "Didn't see anything."

  Li Yan also didn't expose him, "Have you finished today's homework?"

  "Ah, I'm done." Xiaozongzi seemed a bit excited, "Mother said that I can go find Brother Yan to play today."

  "Do you want to hear this... Brother Yan tell a story?"

  Xiao Zongzi was a bit dazed for a moment, Yan Gege? Yan Gege? He couldn't tell them apart. However, he still nodded firmly, his big eyes staring at Yan Sanbai, full of expectation.

  Yan Sanbai cleared his throat and told another case. Xiao Zongzi sat properly beside the empress dowager throughout, being very well-behaved, only widening her eyes in surprise, opening her mouth into a small circle, or giggling at the exciting parts, with sparkling eyes.

  For a young prince who had never been out of the palace before, the outside world was beautiful and full of surprises.

  After a while, the empress dowager also felt tired. Li Yan picked up Xiao Zongzi and bid farewell with Yan Sanbai. The empress dowager was reluctant to part with them, so she instructed: "Little Yan, you must stay for dinner later, and come often to tell me stories, okay?"

  The Empress Dowager spoke up, and Yan Sanbai dared not disobey. He was thinking that he would be leaving Chang'an soon and didn't know when he would return, the Empress Dowager couldn't possibly search for him all over the country.

  Three people left Guanghe Palace, Xiao Zongzi was hugged by Li Yan all the way, with a satisfied heart, blowing bubbles, and the smile at the corner of his mouth couldn't be hidden. Xiao Zongzi liked his brother Yan the most, this is something everyone in the palace knew.

  The meal time in the palace had not yet arrived, so Li Yan took them to rest for a while in the pavilion of the Imperial Garden. Xiao Zong was obviously very curious about this new brother Yan, so Li Yan put Xiao Zong next to Yan Sanbai and let them stare at each other with wide eyes.

  Li Yan observed from the side for a moment — whoa, two pairs of big eyes.

  "Brother Yan, are you a great hero?" Little Zongzi's childish nature was gradually revealed, his hands grasping the edge of the wooden table in the pavilion, straining his neck to make himself look less short.

  Yan Sanbai looked up at the sky and thought for a moment, "Uh... I guess so."

  "Wow......" Xiaozong's eyes were instantly filled with admiration. "Can you fly over the eaves and walk on walls?"

  "I see."

  "Do all heroes wear white clothes?"

  "Not..."

  Li Yan leaned against the crimson pillar, looking at him with great interest, and then suddenly remembered something, beckoning Erding to come over. "I ask you, what's so special about being called a 'Zhuangyuan'?"

  Ling Duan suddenly looked at him strangely, "Don't you know, Your Highness?"

  Li Yan was even more surprised, should this king have known?

  Ling Ding explained: "This Yan Daxia, isn't he famous throughout the land? Because he is an imperial envoy detective, officials like to call him Lord Yan. However, people in the jianghu world prefer to call him Yan Daxia. As for ordinary civilians, they can call him Young Master Yan, Detective Yan, or Yan Daxia - anything goes. But there's one group of people who are particularly special: the girls from Qinlou Chuguan. This Shuangyulang is someone they've invited to flirt with Yan Daxia. Shuangyulang, isn't he just a romantic and amorous 'lang'?"

  Upon hearing this, Li Ye turned his head and took a glance at Yan Sanbai. No wonder, every time he was called like that, his ears would turn red, with an expression of both helplessness and embarrassment.

  At this time, Ling Ding said suspiciously: "I thought you knew, King Wang, and did it on purpose..."

  Li Yan hooked up one corner of his mouth and smiled lazily: "In your eyes, is this king such a wicked person?"

  Shh...... Zero suddenly felt a chill in his body and hastily said: "Of course not."

  Then he silently added in his heart - absolutely true, yes.

  Author has something to say: Yan Sanbai: (furious and slamming the script) What kind of trashy script is this?! Who's the screenwriter, get out here!

  What's up?

  Yan Sanbai: Why did the Empress Dowager call me 'Little Swallow'?!

  I: Because Xiaofeng and Xiaozongzi are both three characters...

  Yan San Bai: The male lead is different! Change it!

  Actually I originally really wanted to let the empress dowager call him Xiao Yanzhi, but the visual sense was too strong, feeling that in the next moment my writing style would be blown through the wind and sand, entwining and lingering all the way to the ends of the earth...
