Yang Jian stood up with the long desk, his eyes slowly walked towards her, "Do you know some important things about Xihu?"

Gala thought for a while and shook his head.

Yang Jian approached her, his eyes pressed over and looked at her suspiciously.

He is nearly twenty years old and tall and strong. Because he has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, his muscles seem to be tense, and his eyes are slightly gloomy under his eyebrows, which is obviously extremely unhappy about what happened last night.

Looking down from a high position, majestic and oppressive, it is always hard to resist the person who is traitorous in his heart. The girl in front of him has not shown any timid expression. Although her posture is respectful, there is no concealment in her rippling eyes.

The spring sunshine sprinkled in from the window, making her skin white and as tender as fat. She didn't realize it at all, and bit her tender lips as if she was thinking.

This looks familiar.

But at that time, the weather in Huainan was clear and the garden was full of spring. The girl looked innocent and didn’t look nervous and sad now.

Yang Jian withdrew his gaze and turned back to the front of the case, "The road ahead is dangerous. If you hide important matters and endanger peace talks, I will not spare you!"

"I dare not deceive Your Highness!" Galo hurriedly bowed and said solemnly: "This time I followed Your Highness north, and I really had selfish intentions. I wanted to take the opportunity to find out the whereabouts of my father. I had no other intentions." She looked at Yang Jian's back tentatively, and saw that he had no reaction, and was inevitably disappointed. She continued: "I don't know the origin of the Xihu people. If I can detect the clues in the future, I will report to Your Highness truthfully."

Yang Jian did not answer, nor looked at Gala, but thought about the long case for a moment, and waved his hand.

Gala left and waited for the hall door to find that his palms were greasy and were full of wet sweat.

As soon as I walked down the stairs, I met Pei Ju again, which was obviously not a coincidence.

He was already ready to go, and when he saw Gala, he showed concern, "I heard that Miss Dugu was frightened and cold last night?"

When Gala visited him, he had not answered yet, he heard Yang Jian's loud instructions in the attic. She was attracted by the sound and looked up at him. When she saw Yang Jian standing by the railing with his hands in his arms, looking down at her.

With two feet apart, the severity and warning in his eyes were clearly visible. Gala's heart suddenly jumped wildly, and he did not dare to stay anymore. He hurriedly bid farewell to Pei Ju and went back to the house to pack up.

The chest was still pounding, and Gala's mind was filled with Yang Jian's stern glance just now.

What does he mean? Is he suspected that she had secretly colluded with Pei Ju?

What are Pei Ju's plans to keep an eye on her so tightly?

Pei Yun followed Gala even tighter. Except for going out to the toilet, she spent almost two or three steps away from her.

He stayed at the inn in the evening, and he was on duty until midnight, and then changed to other guards to guard the guards, and the defense was much tighter.

Gala chatted with Pei Yun on the way, and only then did he realize that Yang Jian was still arranging guards in the dark that day. Although he found two Western Hu accomplices, they were all dead soldiers and had no gains.

This situation made Gala feel scared and he became more cautious in his actions.

Pei Yun's strict defense and Pei Ju was unable to get close to Gala half a step closer.

Although Gala initially considered using Pei Ju to inquire about the news, but now he carefully considered it and felt that this move was unwise. However, the worries in his heart were difficult to resolve. He thought about it all the time and waited until the deep and quiet time, he finally dared to go out of Yang Jian's house to see him.

The lights in the house were still swaying, and when Gala entered, he was still writing at his desk and focusing seriously.

Gala didn't dare to disturb him for a moment, and stood there, wanting to wait for Yang Jian to handle the matter at hand before speaking out.

This inn is located in a remote and simple manner. After Yang Jian sat on the narrow table with wide shoulders and wide waist, he fell into Gala's eyes and felt sad.

When the world was prosperous, his father and son were placed under house arrest in Huainan. Even though they were in the soft water of warm mountains and rivers, they were rarely free, let alone enjoying royal wealth. Now that the mountains and rivers are shaking, he has to face the difficulties, running around for days and handling official duties late at night. After passing this difficulty, it is still unknown whether the throne can be firmly held.

He was actually born with a great man. Although he often looked cold, Gala couldn't deny that he was actually very good-looking.

His eyebrows and eyes are handsome, hard outlines, and heroic figure. In addition, his innate demeanor really stands out as a dragon and phoenix. In the past, he was upright in the blue shirt, silent and forbearing, like a green bamboo standing proudly in the cold wind. Now his identity has changed dramatically, his gold-woven ink shirt is embroidered with exquisite cloud patterns, and his black gold beads are tied to the heart, making him look more proud and arrogant.

The humiliation and restraints of the past and the orders of today's crisis are received. Even if he is born with a noble family, the hardships he has experienced are far greater than others.

Just as he was sighing, he suddenly saw Yang Jian raising his head, his eyes shining brightly, and he looked straight at her-

"Watch me what I do?"

Chapter 05

Gala was shocked by Yang Jian's sudden questioning and was speechless for a moment.

The candlelight on the table was bright, illuminating his expression clearly. The pair of black jade-like eyes stared at her, and Gala couldn't think of any excuses for a moment.

She stood there for a moment, reacted to the abrupt point, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "I am rude, please forgive me."                                                                                                            

Yang Jian put down his wolf's hair, and an undetectable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, which was fleeting.

"What's the matter?" He leaned towards the back of the chair with a little tiredness.

Gala didn't dare to raise his head, and just replied, "I took the liberty to disturb Your Highness because I wanted to ask my father's news." She tried her best to calm down, and her hands fell on the cold floor tiles, which gradually made her mind clear. She looked up and met Yang Jian's gaze, "My father was originally an official in Danzhou. I heard that Xiliang occupied Danzhou, and the officials and people were bullied. I was really worried and had no choice. If your Highness had news about your father, I hope to give him magnanimous advice. Even though I was a little weak, I would still try my best to repay him."

"Is it...Dugu Shan?"

“That’s right.”

"No news." Yang Jian answered simply.

Galo couldn't hide his disappointment.

Yang Jian was still looking at her, "Try to repay her... How can you repay her?"

This made Gala feel hopeful and immediately said, "Although I don't know why Xiao Cong is doing this, since I have been with Your Highness, I must obey whenever you have your own destiny!" She tried her best to make herself sincere, but Yang Jian seemed to have not seen it. He rubbed his eyebrows with his fingers and then said, "There is no news. Go away."

After saying that, he regained his wolves and was at the desk again.

The spark that Galo had slightly ignited was destroyed by this attitude, and the originally straight back collapsed slightly. He whispered to his guilt and said goodbye.

It happened to meet Han Qinhu who came to Yang Jian to report the matter. The disappointment on Gala's face had not been put away, and Han Qinhu was all taken into consideration.

He had a deep hatred for the Gao family and was very cold when Gala was treated. Gala could feel the other party's attitude, so he saluted with great respect and left in a hurry.

When Yang Jian saw Han Qinhu approaching, he handed the file to him and said, "What's the news in Yunzhongcheng?"

"Xiao Cong entered the city yesterday and brought a lot of people with him and went to reward the army. The morale of Xiliang is now high. The Supreme Emperor and the officials have sent them to their Shiyang City, with strict guards, and the Dugu family members are locked together with others, without any preferential treatment."

Yang Jian nodded, "Only Dugu Xuan and Dugu Liangsi?" Seeing Han Qinhu nodding and saying yes, he asked again: "Where is Dugu Shan?"

"He is not in Shiyangcheng."

"elsewhere?"

"Dugu Shan's official position is not high, and our staff is limited, so I didn't pay attention. His Highness had suspected that Xiao Cong and Dugu Xuan colluded, but now it doesn't look very similar. I'm afraid there is another reason behind it. As for Dugu Shan, he is just an insignificant person. After the general trend is determined, he can handle it slowly. Why should you bother with the highness?"

"If there is any news from him, report it to me as soon as possible." Yang Jian said that, and continued to focus on sorting out the documents.

Han Qinhu was stunned and wanted to ask the reason, but finally he held it back. He turned to: "Those Xihu people have not gone far away. They have been spying around recently. What does Your Highness mean to stay except for it?" Seeing Yang Jian pondering, he suggested: "Xihu and Xiao Cong are eyeing Gala at the same time. I believe she has something special. Since she refuses to explain, why don't Your Highness solve the problem with others? At that time, Your Highness knows it, and it will be cheaper to act."

"Borrow someone else's hand?"

"The Xihu people intend to capture Gala, either for things or for information from her. After catching her, they can always reveal their details. Your Highness might as well allow Gala to be captured and then send someone to follow her to find out the truth."

"After following may not be useful - these dead men should have just been ordered to capture people, and even if they give up Gala, they may not be able to draw the truth. However, what the gentleman said reminded me."

"What does Your Highness mean?"

Yang Jian stood up suddenly and looked out the black window, "Touching the melons."

The closer you are to Yunzhong City, the more obvious the traces of war are.

Although the war has not yet reached this place, Xiliang easily captured Yunzhou and stared at Wenbei, which made the people extremely panic, fearing that when they woke up one day, Xiliang would cross the river and invade south and invade like tigers and wolves.

Panic spread like a plague. Although the local people were reluctant to leave their hometowns, most of the people who could find other ways out had escaped temporarily, either fled to relatives or changed places to do business. Walking on the street, almost half of the mansion was empty.

When we reached the suburbs, it was clearly the busy season after spring plowing, but we could not see many people.

After Gala sent Kui Shui away, his body became much lighter. He stopped in the dense forest in the suburbs. The guards there made food. She was idle and walked around nearby to see the strange scenery of the northern region.

Gradually, I heard the sound of splashing water and couldn't help but feel itchy. After walking along the sound for a moment, I could almost determine where it came from.

But here was a little far away from Yang Jian. Gala was a little hesitant and looked at the smoke from the distance, and decided to go back.

Seeing this, Pei Yun said, "Why didn't Miss Dugu leave?"

"There is nowhere to go, so it's better not to go too far." Garo looked reluctantly at the sound of the water.

"There are guards behind you, don't worry, girl." Pei Yun raised his sword and pointed, "There should be a waterfall over there. The mountains here are steep, so the waterfall must also be beautiful."

Gala Yi was moved and struggled for a while, but still couldn't help but move towards the source of the water.

It was really a suffocating trip that was very frustrating. Although she experienced setbacks when she was young, she had limited age and experience, and many changes were pressing on her father's affairs. Li Bing's affairs were even more frustrating after she was recalled. If she kept holding on like this, she might get sick one day.

Hua Shang next to him also intended to let Gala relax, but after all, he was worried, so he asked Pei Yun to transfer two guards to follow him.

The waterfall is indeed as Pei Yun said, extremely spectacular.

The mountains in this area are towering, the cliffs are steep, and silver-white water dragons fall straight down from dozens of feet high. On both sides are bare rocks, which line the splashing water in the middle, making the momentum like a rainbow. Below is a flat huge rock, splashing the falling water dragon about a height of about a meter. It is very strange.

Gala was afraid of water and did not dare to get too close, so he stood several feet away with Hua Shang.

The sound of water was shaking, and pearls and jade were splashing. Gala looked up at the high place, but he felt that the mountain wall was majestic and the sky was as clear as a shining place.

There is a drop in the sky, even if there are huge difficulties, it seems insignificant. Although my father is missing, he has always loved her. Even if he is separated from the two places, he will always be worried. Whenever he thinks about it, he will feel at ease in his heart.

The ups and downs of life are like the water droplets in the waterfall. They are still wandering peacefully among the beautiful scenery of green grass, but suddenly fall from a gentle place, hit the rock, and then fall into the vortex of the pool, ups and downs and downs. After the twists and turns, they can eventually merge into the water and flow as smoothly as before.

There are so few people who can defend this in the midst of turmoil.

And as for those who have lost or left, such as Li Bing, it is difficult to walk with you again.

Why should linger in your heart and seek trouble for irreparable things?

Galo's brows gradually stretched.

A strange sound suddenly mixed with the rumbling waterfall.
