C129

The cold wind of the late autumn night pierced into his bones, and the guards at the door pulled their clothes tighter. They stomped their feet on the ground to expel some of the cold air.

Chen Huayi strolled over with a jug of wine and found a stone bench to sit on. He squinted at the group of guards with half-drunk eyes, "Why are you still jumping up and down? "It's cold?"

The guards looked at each other, and one of them who was more familiar with Chen Huayi said with a wry smile, "Isn't that so? It's very cold. We still have half a night to stand. "

Chen Huayi glared and said, "Are you all trying to be lazy?"

All of the guards immediately shook their heads. "No, no, how is that possible? "Lord, even if you lend us some guts, we wouldn't dare to be lazy."

Chen Huayi smiled and shook his head, "That's good, at least you guys are sensible …" Mm, sensible! "Go ahead."

The four of them were stunned as they looked at the place where they were standing. They couldn't help but ask, "What did the lord say?"

Chen Huayi seemed to be a little impatient. He waved his hand and frowned, "Go, go, aren't you cold?" Go back to sleep! "

The four of them were completely dumbfounded. "Master, what did you say? If we go to sleep, who will be there to guard us? "

Chen Huayi pointed to his nose and said, "I'm not a human?" Hurry up and scram, don't delay this young noble's drinking and admiring the moon. "

One of the guards looked up at the dark sky. Where was the moon?

The other three guards dared to urge him: "Master are you drunk? Why don't you go back to the house to rest?"

Chen Huayi spat on the ground and shouted loudly, "Are you drunk? Drunk my ass, let's see how this young master will drink it! "

The crescent bodyguard could not help but burst out laughing, "Sir Chen, are you even going to go as far as that vat? Who doesn't know that you get drunk when you touch wine? "

Chen Huayi threw the jug of wine to the side and stood up unsteadily. "Does young master get drunk just from drinking?" "Brat, do you look down on this grandpa?"

The guard watched his swaying body worriedly, wishing he could reach out and help him up. "Why don't we drink with the lord? Drinking so that you can send your master back? "

"Wahahahaha!" Without any warning, Chen Huayi's loud voice caused the four bodyguards to involuntarily take a step back in fright. That fellow laughed, but he still did not stop there. He grabbed onto that guard's collar, and with his tongue hanging out, he asked: "You brat, do you really think I'm drunk? Who doesn't know that this young master loves to drink by himself? This... What a beautiful scene in the morning, the sound of the lute, what are you adding to the mess? What an eyesore … Do you understand that? "

The guard's mouth twitched as if he wanted to laugh. It took him a lot of effort before he managed to hold it in. "Alright then, you can drink. We'll stand by the side and not obstruct you, right?"

"Of course not... "No way!" Chen Huayi took out a handful of crushed silver from his bosom and slapped it on his hand, "Since I've already decided to take care of this matter, you guys can leave now!" Yes, the shopkeeper or someone asked, just say it was me, it has nothing to do with you. "Go on!"

The guard did not stand on ceremony as he casually pocketed the taels of silver. "Alright, this place is yours. You can enjoy yourself here."

Chen Huayi stumbled a few steps back with his left foot and stood firmly up shakily. "Alright, let's go! The Spring Festival Gala is worth ten thousand gold, don't make this young master unhappy! "

The guard complied and winked at the three people at the side before quickly walking away.

"Pei Yun, what are you doing? That lord must be drunk. What if we let him go? "

The guard in charge pulled the one who had spoken, and another one at random. He pointed to a tree at the side and said, "You guys hide in the back and watch, if you really do run out, do your best to delay it. We'll go call the other adults over right now. "

The little imperial bodyguard was a little dazed. "What does this mean?"

Pei Yun said, "Sir Chen is a first class guard, even if he is drunk, he is still a lord. No one can disobey his orders. Otherwise, it would be our responsibility. On the other hand, we listen to him. Even if we run away, we must not be punished too severely. "

The little guard was a little unhappy. "Then, you must have cheated that lord?"

Pei Yun sighed, "How is that possible? Aren't I letting you all watch? "I will go find another lord, only an official of the same rank as Lord Chen can manage it, so let's not say anything."

They were all new guards, so they didn't have much to say. They simply gritted their teeth and nodded. "Then you two hurry up. We'll stay here and watch from afar."

Pei Yun nodded his head, turned around and ran off without another word.

Not long after the two of them left, the guard who was watching from afar saw "Sir Chen" opening the door wide, leaning against the door like mud, seemingly talking to the person inside. It scared the two of them to the core, but they could only watch and silently pray that Pei Yun would return quickly.

— —

"Large... "My Lord!" Pei Yun looked a little better, until one of the guards almost fell down breathing heavily.

On the other hand, the three adults living in the same room as Chen Chengyi had completely different appearances. As they neared the ugly scene, most of the people were fast asleep, but they were still reading the reports that had been sent over from various places under the candlelight.

Pei Yun's pupils constricted as he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart. When the guards from every department arrived, they could already see that these lords had finished washing up and were busy everywhere. He ran from the north to the south of the city, returning to the city from the outside. He brought a group of people running, and he had no thoughts of slacking off. The majority of the guards had already rested. They were still dealing with the unfinished business of the day. From the looks of it, they had only rested less than eight hours a day.

Han Yan was scratching his head as he sat in the middle of the table with the most stuff piled in front of him. He was surprised to see two strange guards enter the room. He raised his head and looked at them: "What are you guys doing?"

While the guard was still gasping for breath, Pei Yun quickly kneeled down and begged for forgiveness, "This subordinate barged in in in a hurry, please forgive me."

Han Yan put down his hand that was scratching his hair. He sighed helplessly as if it was a joke. "Don't kneel if you're anxious. If you have something to say, say it quickly."

Pei Yun stood up and said, "Yes sir, Sir Chen was drunk and chased us back."

"Master Chen?" Chen Huayi? " "What did he say?" Han Yan asked casually.

Pei Yun said in surprise, "He said he wants to stay there to admire the moon. He wants us to go back and rest."

Han Yan returned his gaze back to the table. "Then let's go back to rest. I want to wake up early. Tomorrow is another day of fatigue."

Pei Yun hesitated for a moment before kneeling down again. "Your subordinate dares, Sir Chen is already drunk. If there is no guard there, I'm afraid the prisoner will escape. Your subordinate thinks …"

Han Yan blinked his eyes and turned to look at Shen Yi Fan: "General Shen, this must be one of your Seven Deadly Slaughter's men, right? Why are there so many rules? "

Shen Yifan threw up his hands and said, "Sir Han is wise."

Han Yan then looked back at Pei Yun, "To be honest, you don't need to kneel, nor do you need to be brave, you just think that it is enough. Aren't you trying to say that you're afraid of people running away, that Chen Huayi won't be able to catch you if he's drunk? Do you really need someone to teach you how to do such a small thing? "

Pei Yun lowered his head and replied, "This subordinate is stupid. Please enlighten me, my lord."

Shen Yi Fan said, "Sir Han's meaning is for you to go home early and to sleep early. Master Chen has already personally watched. It's his business if the person runs away, so you don't have to worry about it. " He then looked towards Han Yan and asked, "Is that so?"

Han Yan praised, "Vice General Shen is right."

Seeing that Pei Yun was still hesitating, Xia Fan, who was standing to the side, could not help but stand up and said, "I'll go with you to take a look."

"Ah, please wait a moment, Leader Xia." Seeing that he really wanted to go, Han Yan hurriedly said.

Xia Fan turned around with a questioning look in his eyes. "What's wrong?"

Han Yan pondered for a moment and did not know how to put it into words. He could only give a few simple explanations, "I think you know the rules of our house, right? Whoever was responsible for this would be responsible. If there were any problems, he or she could handle them on his or her own. Reverse... If you are going to take care of this mess, then you will be responsible for whatever happens. "

Xia Fan was not a reckless person. He would naturally humbly ask for advice in the face of Han Yan's much older qualifications. "Then what do you think should be done, milord?"

Han Yan hesitated, but decided to teach him, and let the three people who were watching him become a member of the royal family to understand, "For example, although the person in charge of this matter is the young prince, the one in charge is still the four of us. If something went wrong with the tasks that Chen Huayi did, he should be the one in charge. If I were to take another step back, it would be me, who has the highest authority, taking responsibility. In the circumstances, the best option is to leave him alone. "

"But isn't it possible that that person had something to do with the murderer? If we really let him go, it would be a huge problem. "

Han Yan said, "I was just saying it casually. You don't have to care. You decide for yourself what to do. "

Xia Fan gave it some serious thought and said, "I think it's better if I go take a look."

Han Yan nodded his head, "This is good as well. Beat him up while he's drunk to vent."

Xia Fan was stunned again. "Me? Beat him up? "Why?"

Han Yan was baffled. "If we don't take the opportunity to beat him up, why are you still trying to save him? Just let him be. When he does something wrong, he will be punished by the young prince tomorrow. He choked you for so long, but you're not taking such a good opportunity for yourself.

Xia Fan pursed his lips and spoke slowly, "My lord, I know that all of you feel that I am a little foolish. I always do unnecessary things, offending people I shouldn't offend, and I don't know how to judge the situation …" Pausing, he continued, "That is because I have my own selfish motives as well. It's because I caught the Cyan Robed Pirates that I got the chance to know about my past. For this reason, I didn't hesitate to offend the Crown Prince and have everyone avoid me … I wanted to make up for my mistake, to do as much as I could so that I could stay in the House. Because after leaving the royal palace, it is possible that I will never be able to catch the Cyan Robed Pirates and never know what the memories I lost were. "

Han Yan looked at him deeply as if he understood something that he didn't. After a moment, he suddenly laughed, "Then let's go."

Xia Fan was slightly startled and didn't know how to respond. Han Yan's Attitude... It was somewhat unexpected.

Han Yan picked up the report and said no more. "I would advise you to think about your future life. Don't be in such a rush to gain benefits. Just take the risk and advance."

"I will." Xia Fan bowed, then turned around and left. Pei Yun and his brother hurriedly followed behind him.

Shen Yi Fan looked at the candle that was about to be extinguished, then stood up to get a new one. With the new candle in his hand, he turned around and the candle's light flashed once in a puddle of tears before extinguishing. Shen Yifan felt helpless as he walked over to Han Li's table and borrowed his candle flame. "I thought you would drag it out even longer."

Han Yan looked up and smiled. "What are you waiting for?"

Shen Yifan lit the candle but was in no hurry to return. He held it in his hand and said, "You said that we have a lot of rules regarding the Seven Deadly Slaughter. While your actions may seem casual, you will always use your own methods to do your own thing. "Sir Chen, you can't get drunk, especially not at a time like this."

Han Yan disapproved. "You should believe him."

Shen Yi Fan also smiled, "After all, we've worked together for a while, so we'll have to interact more in the future. Trust is better than not believing."

Han Yan looked at the tear-stained candle in his hand and said thoughtfully, "Welcome to the inner palace then."
