C29 No Return Arrow on the Bow

Liesu did not like the feeling of being alone, so on the way back to the station she put on a face and said nothing to her brother.

Li Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "What do you want to know?"

Li Su then revealed a worried expression, "You guys were in the Pure Wind Pavilion after watching Hong Ye's drama, and you said those words that had no other meaning?"

Li Yang smiled, "What's the point?"

"I don't understand, but you all seem to understand!"

A smile still hung on Li Yang's face as he said, "You've been in Bian Yang Pass for so long, have you really discovered anything?"

Li Su thought back carefully. Her brother had only been at the Yang Pass for a few days, and she had already been here for over a month. "What did you discover?"

Li Yang tapped his slow little sister on the forehead with his finger, "Who do you think it is, Master Hong?"

Li Su still did not understand. "Who?"

"Idiot!" Li Yang gave Li Su another flick, "Why do you think Yan Zijun is not present every time Master Hong appears on stage?"

It was only then that Li Su realized what was going on. "You mean …"

Li Yang nodded, "At the same time, I also understand. He knows that you pretended to be me, but I think he doesn't understand why."

"He knows?"

Li Yang nodded, "Do you think he's easy to fool? "Yan Zijun's talents are above mine. Your little tricks are not even enough for me to see!"

Li Su immediately felt guilty, "If that's the case, why didn't he expose me?" When she thought back to how she was always worried about her identity being revealed, her brother had actually told her that it was because the other person had known about it a long time ago.

Li Yang shook his head, "However, he should and will expose us."

Li Su didn't care about this. She wanted to know about the days when she pretended to be her brother. If Yan Zijun was someone who knew her identity, then she thought he was fond of her brother …

"Su'er, why are you blushing?"

Li Su immediately covered her face with her hands. "I'm not blushing." Li Su was afraid that her brother would be suspicious so she twisted her head in anger. "Humph! Bro, don't talk so much in front of me. If that's the case, why don't you take me with you?"

Before Li Yang could understand why his sister was so angry, Li Su had already hurried back to her room.

"A woman's heart is impossible to guess." Li Yang frowned.

When Li Su returned to her room, she drank three cups of tea before calming down a little.

When did Yan Zijun discover that he wasn't Li Yang?

Li Su thought back to the time when she entered the Yang Yuan Pass. She gently placed her fingers on her lips. Even though she was very lucky, perhaps the other party had already seen through her identity.

The whole night, Li Su tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Her entire mind was on when Yan Zijun would know her identity, and if he had already discovered that she was the one who took a bath that night.

If she could not get the answer, Li Su might not be able to sleep soundly, so she decided to get out of bed.

"Just ask him himself!" One of Li Su's hands formed a fist, then she punched the palm of her other hand.

Li Su changed into her brother's clothes and sneaked out through the back door of the relay station. Then, she went outside the City Lord's Mansion alone.

Although it was already late, she was still using her identity as the older brother to find Yan Zijun, so it was perfectly reasonable.

However, things did not go as Li Su thought. The servant that opened the door led the way to the inner hall, "The mayor will be here in a moment, General Li, please wait for a moment."

A moment later, Yan Zi brought some tea into the inner hall. "Big brother is still dealing with the government affairs."

Li Su was a little hesitant, but she still nodded her head in the end. "I did not say it in advance. If the city lord is not free, then I'll …"

Li Su stood up, indicating that she wanted to leave. Yan Zi suddenly pulled on her sleeve. "I …"

"What's the matter, Miss Yan?"

Yan Zi wanted to say something, but she hesitated. She withdrew her hand and rubbed it in embarrassment before putting it behind her back. "I, I …"

Perhaps it was because the bystanders knew that in Li Su's eyes, Yan Zi had obviously promised her in her heart. She pursed her lips. Now that she was a fake older brother, she naturally couldn't answer for him.

"Does the family of the general have an engagement?" After asking this question, Yan Zi heaved a sigh of relief.

Li Su wanted to muddle through this matter with a few words, then wait for his true body to appear. This kind of thing between a man and a woman would be settled by him.

"This …"

"General Li." Yan Zijun had finally appeared.

Li Su acted as though she had seen her savior, "Castellan Yan, I thought I wouldn't be able to see you today!"

Yan Zijun's eyes darted over Yan Zi's body before he said, "Let's go to the study room."

Before coming to the City Lord's Mansion, Li Su prepared a bunch of excuses and follow-up questions. However, after seeing Yan Zijun, all her thoughts turned into mush.

"What's the matter with General Li searching for me so late at night?"

Li Su only felt her limbs were cold. She couldn't help but to curse herself in her heart for being too reckless and for acting too rashly. She even put herself in an awkward situation.

Li Su remained silent for a long time, so Yan Zijun could only ask again, "But you feel depressed, do you want to find someone to drink?"

As the saying goes, wine makes people afraid!

Although Li Su's alcohol tolerance was not good, but in order to get an answer, she decided to give it her all.

"Castellan Yan is truly someone I know well."

"General Li is too polite." Yan Zijun got up and asked the waiter outside to prepare some wine. Before long, there were fine wines and delicacies on the round table.

"Please." Yan Zijun invited Li Su to take a seat.

Li Su took a deep breath and drank three cups of wine in a row.

Yan Zijun frowned, "Does General Li have any worries?"

Taking advantage of the alcohol, Li Su said, "It's all because of little sister." Yan Zijun was indeed a good listener. Although he didn't say anything, he used body language to express that he was listening attentively. Li Su was very satisfied with this. "I'm about to reach the age of marriage …"

Before he could finish, Yan Zijun said, "Do you want me to introduce a good marriage?"

"Su'er has someone she loves," Li Su thought she was being too direct, so she added, "But she refused to tell me, you know, the mother and I."

"I just got to know your little sister, that's all. I'm not interested in her at all."

Li Su then remembered that she had only known Yan Zijun for a few days and she had not spoken more than ten sentences.

However, if what his brother said was true, and Yan Zijun knew that Li Su had fought alongside him for the past month, then why would he say that he and Li Su were not friends?

Perhaps it was just Li Su's own wishful thinking. She looked a little guilty, "I was being rude."

"There will be the Flower Lantern Festival in a few days," Yan Zijun suddenly spoke up. "When that time comes, can I help you ask her a few questions?"

Li Su felt that she had dug a hole and was waiting for herself to jump in, but she did not turn her head to shoot. She braced herself and replied, "I'll have to trouble Castellan Yan."
