[Slow Travel] Assassin System - Mingguang
Chapter 73 Chunfeng Weeping Kirin 7
Youji Terrace is a sect built on the deep mountain ice field. Although Xiangping City is also the foundation of the Qi family, compared with the ancient buildings in the mountain gate, the Qi Mansion in Xiangping is much more simple.
Today's Xiangping is not peaceful, a sudden accident interrupted Qi's plan, and in order to change the fate of the whole family, the study in Qi's mansion has to stay awake again.
"The people from Qilinwei have already found the West Market?" Qi Rendong rubbed the letter in his hand, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "It's only been a few days, and they really dug out those servants, it's really amazing .”
A group of outsiders from Liaodong screened three people out of the vast crowd in such a short period of time. From anyone's point of view, this is almost impossible, but Jin Yiwei deserves to be Jin Yiwei, they did it.
Qi Rendong admired from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't see it, that gentle and friendly Landu Wei was so good at interrogation, he didn't need to punish or intimidate, he could distinguish the truth from the false just by clever interrogation, and thus obtained a truth that was almost close to the truth information.
But this is also due to the weakness and incompetence of those so-called aristocratic families, don't they all know how to intrigue?Facing Jinyiwei, they are all soft-footed shrimps. Although Youjitai does not have the Liaodong Order below, even such a little thing can't be hidden. It's no wonder that the infiltration of Liaodong by the Western Bureau is inevitable.
"This 'Uncle Lan' is still acting too deviant." Qi Rendong closed the letter in his hand, and judged condescendingly, "Get involved with the widow of the county king, and even want to bring her back to Gyeonggi... What on earth is he doing?" Thought?"
Liaodong is the site of Youjitai. Miao Xuan took the little girl back to the foothold, and Youjitai got the news from behind. Tang Tongzhi cannot be blamed for this. After all, Jinyiwei has almost no foundation in Liaodong. Can he not be alarmed? The people in the Western Bureau are meticulous and cautious.
Even though Qi Rendong has always been aware of Qilinwei's reputation, he was still very surprised when he got the news, but his father didn't seem surprised by it, he just sighed "I'm asking for trouble again"——
Since growing up, Qi Rendong has rarely heard his father speak like this. This is not a sarcasm or ridicule, but a kind of helpless complaint, even with an imperceptible intimacy.
But Qi Rendong still doesn't understand, no matter what, what is the attraction of a woman who is useless and only causes trouble to the upper body?We must know that the competition between Xiju and Jinyiwei is becoming more and more fierce, and mutual supervision is ready to report on each other at any time. If this matter is exposed, it will immediately become a ready-made handle.
The more Qi Rendong thought about it, the more he felt unreasonable: "Could it be that this is self-confidence? Indulging one's hobbies with the emperor's love?"
"Young master, it's not like that." Qi Qi on the side couldn't help it anymore, he took over the quarrel, "Uncle Lan is honest and ascetic, but Lu Zhi is so straight that he seems to act absurdly, he will take in that girl, eight out of ten Ninth is because she pity her... Well, he always can't see these things."
Pitiful?What are you sorry for?Qi Rendong was stunned for a while, and then realized that it was a pity that the princess of the small county was forced to die.
But would a Jinyiwei commander care about this kind of thing?And it was the notorious Qilin Guard!
Although Qi Rendong has long understood the truth that people's words are scary, but he believes that knowing people's faces without knowing their hearts, Qilinwei's notoriety has spread to the people of Liaodong, is it all fabricated out of thin air?Besides, even though Lan Xuan has a good-looking skin, it doesn't prove that he is not a beast in clothes.
"Could it be that the information is all false? Now inside and outside the capital, from the emperor's relatives to the women and children, who doesn't know how many cunning children and beautiful women have been abducted by the commander of the Qilin Guard, who is hungry—"
Qi Yanheng glanced at his son inexplicably, so Qi Rendong trembled all over, and immediately shut his mouth.
Qi Qi didn't seem to have seen the small interaction between the father and son, he continued to smile and said: "Young master, don't mention the martial arts qualifications of Uncle Lan who is unique in the world, and don't mention that he has been killing demons and demons for many years Countless merits, just relying on his kindness for teaching, you shouldn't say that."
Qi Rendong actually sensed something was wrong when he shut up, but he had seen hypocrites all over the place since he was a child, and none of them were real saints. Coupled with his arrogant temper, it was inevitable that he would be a bit willful.
What's more, the people of Liaodong suffered greatly from Jinwuwei and Xiju, and Qilinwei was also a court eagle. Qi Rendong inevitably had prejudice in his heart. There is no way to reverse this stereotype...
"I saw that you were smiling, humble and well-behaved when you were beside Lan Xuan. It turned out that you were not sincere."
Qi Yanheng didn't know when he put down the pen in his hand, looked sideways at the half-grown boy, and asked softly: "I don't know, when did you learn how to behave like those big boys?"
Qi Rendong was taken aback for a moment, and then his face turned red - among Qi's father and son, "big family's children" is not a compliment. The members of these big families seem to be carved out of the same template, regardless of men, women, old or young, They are different from each other, they only put their interests first, they are hypocritical and artificial, and they are never soft when they stab in the back.
Such an evaluation can be regarded as very harsh.
You don't need a heavy hammer to beat the drum, Qi Yanheng didn't yell loudly, his tone was even gentle: "Yinteng, I don't intend to comment on Lan Xuan's character, but you have to know..."
"Since ten years ago, I have been eager for Lanxuan to join Youjitai, but even today, I still can't ask for it."
*
In the season when the frost and snow melt, no matter how beautiful the city is, it will inevitably look sloppy, not to mention the poor drainage system in Xiangping, Liaodong.
Standing on the stele tower beside the city wall avenue, Miao Xuan looked at this rough city from a distance. Although she looked gray due to rain and snow, the gradually recovering vitality could not be ignored, maybe it was born in the cracks of the stones The buds of the trees, maybe the fish hiding under the river, it seems that there are surprises hidden in every corner.
However, the beautiful scenery did not make Miao Xuan feel any relaxation. On the contrary, at this moment, he once again fell into a state of deja vu, in short, numb.
Before he knew it, Qilinwei's investigation had lasted for a month, and all the autopsies were completed, just as Miao Xuan expected, without any new progress.
The cause of death for all people is the same simple and brutal, regardless of their status, all the dead have their heads crushed by external forces, most of them seem to have died in a dream, with muscle relaxation; and all six-year-old children are in extreme pain Tragic death, shocking.
In fact, at this point in the matter, there is nothing to investigate. The evil spirit's criminal background and murder methods are almost clear, but the criteria for selecting the target and its origin and cause are almost impossible to verify. Obscene characteristics, even if people want to trace it, they can't find any clues...
But this does not mean that there is no trace of this thing. There are too many similarities between the two extermination cases, and the conclusion of the former case is ambiguous. The determination of this goal two overlaps.
Although he had expected it, Miao Xuan still felt uneasy. The Four Divine Guards he had been with for so many years still failed to dig out all the secrets of the royal family. What terrible things are hidden in this smoky palace?
I have to go back to Beijing. Target [-] is closely related to the royal family. Only by investigating the royal family more deeply can we dig out the real body of Target [-]...
In other words, the identity of the target before his lifetime.
Miao Xuan once again severely reprimanded the little bastard on the dragon chair. The little system didn't know why, but considering that the little bastard was really an asshole, he followed his brother to open the mic passionately.
No matter what the truth is, the case of extermination of the door cannot be concluded immediately, and the Qilin Wei returned in defeat. This is still in the case of Miao Xuan, the commander, who did not respect his will. It is conceivable that this time there will be a lot of trouble.
Miao Xuan sighed, feeling a severe stomachache for the predictable future he was about to face. The report under the throne and the investigation of the Western Bureau could not escape. , The lethality caused by the latter is by no means comparable to that of the former two. Thinking of Wei Jin laughing eccentrically and congratulating him again, Miao Xuan couldn't help but wipe his face.
The relationship between Xiju and Jinyiwei can almost be compared to the couple who divorced after three hundred rounds of the war. Of course, the status of women in the Jokhang era was extremely low, there was no option for divorce, and there was no same-sex couple, but in Miao Xuan's view Come on, this metaphor is really appropriate.
It is considered polite to turn against each other.
Miao Xuan walked down the archway with his head drooping. He didn't know what the archway was built to commemorate. It was dilapidated and old, and almost no one cleaned it. scenery.
At this very moment, Mu Fengyang was waiting for him at the tea stall at the bottom of the building. Even if this young master was sitting on a small wooden stool by the side of the road, holding a small teacup bowl in his hand, he was called a Da Ma Jin Dao, full of energy and temperament. He was somewhere between a nobleman and a green forest hero. Against the backdrop of the cautious, hunchbacked and even scantily clad people around him, he really stood out from the crowd.
Dazhao, who has lived for more than three hundred years, is dying. In this world, ordinary people are living a hard life, especially the working people who are the cornerstone of society. Too heavy work has crushed their backs, and their life expectancy and health are declining. Day after day of hard work, not to mention taking on a decent set of civilian clothes, even it is difficult to straighten your back.
If it were Miao Xuan who was on a similar occasion, he would only find an inconspicuous corner to rest, but Mu Fengyang must want the best position, even though the C position seems to him too dilapidated to be seen.
Spring is approaching in Liaodong, and both farmers and craftsmen are busy. Therefore, except for Mu Fengyang, the rest of the customers in this tea stall are porters. They probably just completed a business and are delivering the goods to Xiangping. After that, I found a cheap tea stall near the main road to rest.
But it is amazing that in such a simple place, there is actually a storyteller on the stage who is singing and playing. The story is simpler than Zaju, and it is very colloquial, even illiterate porters can understand it clearly.
"...a unicorn stepping on the auspicious clouds is hard to get rid of in the world!" The storyteller was impassioned, "What a noble person is the holy emperor? She was not surprised at all when she saw the unicorn descending from the sky, and she just laughed and said, "My son came from the sky." '! So the unicorn gave birth, the dragon chant endlessly, the red sun entered the bosom, and the golden light was everywhere!"
This is about the birth of the first emperor of the Jokhang Dynasty, a lady from a low family background.Zu was also a sincere person. After ascending the throne, he divided up the blood of all his relatives that he still remembered. Among them, his biological mother who died early was named the Empress Dowager Shengchun, commonly known as the Empress Dowager Shengjun.
The audience in the audience had already been brought into the scene, and they all exclaimed in surprise, only Mu Fengyang, with a face on his shoulders, cracked the tea bowl in his hand.
The storyteller on that stage is indeed a capable person. He saw the displeasure of the big benefactor at a glance, and immediately changed his words: "Ah! Qilin, auspicious beast! Wenchang Wuxing, loyal and upright, this son-off is just an auspicious act One, next please listen to me explain "Shenwu Qilin Biography" in detail!"
Mu Fengyang calmed down a bit, and took out a large amount of broken silver and threw it on the stage. With a clang, the card was very good, so the storyteller worked hard like chicken blood, and the longing on his face almost made him say it out loud. like.
Miao Xuan: ...
At this moment, Mu Fengyang also saw Miao Xuan, so he casually put down his tea bowl, and triumphantly walked to the commander's side: "Landu Wei, you see, folks really admire unicorns."
Miao Xuan: ...
Small system: ...
Miao Xuan acted as if he hadn't seen that set of threats and rewards. Although he didn't care about Qilinwei's reputation, Mu Fengyang would do this in all likelihood to comfort his bad mood. The family is very rich, so let him go.
The two got on their horses again and walked along the avenue to Xiangping City. The melted snow filled the side of the gravel-paved road, and from time to time there were convoys that were deeply soiled.
Mu Fengyang frowned and looked at the vehicles coming and going, and whispered worriedly: "Guwei, Youjitai is collecting salt, iron, grain and wood, and there are many high-quality horse farms in Liaodong, Qi's has long been ready. !"
Of course Miao Xuan knew it, but to be honest, he actually hoped that Qi Yanheng would succeed in rebelling tomorrow morning, and then lock up the little emperor as a deposed emperor. At that time, he would promise to help Qi Yanheng block Wei Jin, and then the new era and new atmosphere ...
But if you think about it, you just think about it. There is an oath between the three major families and the royal family, and the king of Liaodong has also burped. Right now, Qi Yanheng has encountered an unprecedented problem, and he has to find another way to break the situation.
Furthermore, the people from the Western Bureau are still stationed in various cities in Liaodong. Compared with the Qilin Guard who has been paddling, the Western Bureau is extremely vigilant against the rebellious officials and thieves who have no evidence for the time being.
Miao Xuan was thinking about something, so he said casually: "Don't worry, Old Tang will write it on the memorial."
Mu Fengyang was stunned for a moment, and then he was stunned: "Gu Wei, you trust Tang Tongzhi too much! And how can we allow such dangerous behavior? We must do something to warn Youjitai!"
Miao Xuan: "..."
Miao Xuan thought with a stomach ache, what else can I do, go and get those two father and son drunk together tonight?Everyone stayed up all night to talk, meet each other openly, hold candles, and share interests and disadvantages. From now on, we will set things right and restore peace to Liaodong!
Mu Fengyang didn't understand the governor's silence, and he continued to sue: "Guard, I think Tang Tongzhi is really useless, he bought a little girl from somewhere, and left her in the room dressed as a novice." Now, when I pressed him, he still couldn't explain why, heh, he still wanted to deceive me by adopting him, and it seemed that he was lustful!"
system:……
Miao Xuan: "..."
Old Tang, our respectable and reliable old Tang, I'm sorry for you.
Mu Fengyang didn't know how heartbroken his Lan Duwei was at the moment, he just commented on himself, and pointed out some colleagues, deeply feeling that the whole Qilin Guard was useless, only he was worthy of it The superintendent has blue eyes, so he became more and more interested, wishing to do something earth-shattering, so that the superintendent would look sideways and praise him.
For example... breaking the Qi family's salt and iron conspiracy and exposing the inside story of the tragedy in the Liaodong Palace.
Thanks to Miao Xuan's determination to return to Gyeonggi to investigate Xinmi as soon as possible, he didn't give Mu Fengyang a chance to implement his plan, otherwise he would be defeated immediately by this new employee's good job of taking down the company's system with one click.
The two of them thought about their own things, and finally returned to the station. Before Miao Xuan could come up with an excuse to send Xiao Mu away, Tang Tongzhi hurried up to greet him: "Guardian, the imperial edict has arrived!"
*
To welcome the imperial decree, you still have to follow the steps.
This time the imperial decree was different. The little emperor sent a pure ceremonial team. Except for ordinary guards, there were no members of the Western Bureau. The ritual officers and eunuchs who kept the decree were not well-known people. The two imperial edicts were designated to be handed over to the Commander of Qilin Guard and Qi Yanheng of Youjitai.
The imperial decree designated for the Qi family was also handed over to the Youji Terrace, surrounded by clouds and fog, and before the escorting officials could react, the ceremony was over.
However, since Qilinwei is still an eagle dog of the imperial court, Miao Xuan can only honestly set up an incense table to knock on the imperial decree. The content of the decree is quite simple, which can be summarized into two points. Second, escort Qi's son to Beijing.
Ever since the Lan family was wiped out, the royal family has set their longing eyes on Youji Terrace, inviting the Qi family to the capital almost every year. Although they are always declined, they still look eager for talents.
Judging from this decree, the little emperor seemed to have inherited his late father's will, but this time he unceremoniously extended an invitation to the entire Youjitai, but rather forcefully asked Qi Rendong to go to Beijing to study.
And for such a will, Qi Yanheng actually agreed.
Miao Xuan realized after a short period of astonishment that the King of Liaodong was dead, and Qi Yanheng needed to find a new way to break the situation. It just so happened that the royal family also treated Qi with courtesy, so before tearing his face, Qi Rendong's southward trip became an opportunity.
But there is also a huge risk in this. Even if the royal family can't really do anything to the children of the three major families because of the covenant, Qi Rendong's situation is almost equivalent to that of a proton. He is Qi Yanheng's only child and has no substitute...
After so many years, why didn't Qi Yanheng remarry and didn't have a second child?
This is a question that many people can't figure out, and the answer is very simple, because the direct descendants of the Qi family have almost lost the possibility of having the next generation.
The crisis of heirs is not only a problem for the royal family, but also a problem for the three major families. The Shen family lives in seclusion, so one generation is not as good as the next generation, and now it is no different from ordinary people; There are almost no newborns in ten families. Even if there are, it will require the mother to pay a huge price.
This is the case for Lan Xuan's biological mother, Shen Lang. She is a once-in-a-hundred-year genius, and a rare outstanding child after the fall of the Shen family. You must know that the most important marriage method of the three major families is matching. Her talent and strength can be seen from the marriage of her eldest son.
Such a master of martial arts must have strong internal strength and body. Even if he is seriously injured, he can recover completely in a short time. However, in order to give birth to the next generation, Shen Lang paid a huge price. She gritted her teeth and passed the childbirth barrier, but she also suffered from stubborn illnesses and died young.
Even a master like Shen Lang had such a hard time conceiving, let alone Qi Rendong's mother. When Qi Yanheng got married under the arrangement of the elders, the young couple were only fifteen or sixteen years old. The adopted daughter was equally gifted and skilled in martial arts, but she weakened rapidly after she was pregnant with the child, and barely survived until the childbirth, and finally died of a bloody collapse.
At that time, Qi Yanheng couldn't disobey the demands of the elders, and married the girl who had always been her younger sister. This young couple got married in ignorance. Maybe they had a child in a daze before they had figured out their future path. Seeing this The newborn sucks the life of the mother uncontrollably, and the young Qi Yanheng of course advocates aborting the child to protect the mother, but——
In this huge Qi family, he is the only one who thinks so.
How can an adopted orphan compare with a future legitimate son?Not only the elders of the family, but even Qi Yanheng's younger sister and wife thought so. When Qi Yanheng was sent to Shen's Hidden Island for training, this poor little girl was tamed by Qi's subconsciously. Qi's direct line gave birth to a child, regardless of the price, even if it cost his life.
In the end, the child was born in a healthy state, but his young little mother was completely broken, and died in Qi Yanheng's arms in the pain of bleeding.
Miao Xuan did not see this scene, and when he arrived in Liaodong, he only had time to attend the funeral, but he witnessed with his own eyes the underworld operation of the elders of the Qi family urging the widower to marry him at the funeral——
This group of people really thinks from the bottom of their hearts that exchanging one wife for one child is a worthwhile business. Since they can be born, it doesn't matter if they die. Wouldn't it be good to marry more wives and more concubines?
All these left unhealed scars in the heart of the young Qi Yanheng, and it is precisely because of this that after he took charge of the Qi family, almost all the elders of the previous generation disappeared, and he raised Qi Rendong alone, and he is still open-minded today. as a widower.
The heirs of the three sects have paid too much for being single. Qi Yanheng is avoiding marriage urges and refusing blind dates every year; Miao Xuan is more difficult. After all, Qilinwei is working for the royal family, so after he came out on Yindao, he faced another challenge. The royal family bestowed a marriage, so they had to say loudly in front of the Golden Luan Hall, "I just can't do it in front of women."
The latter was too frightening, not to mention the old emperor's little prince Concubine Lan, even the well-informed Wei Jin had a blank face at the time, as if he had been struck by lightning...
Lan Xuan is not suitable for starting a family, not to mention his partner and relatives, he should not even have any close friends, otherwise they will only bear unnecessary pain and suffering because of him.
Miao Xuan understands this very clearly, and in the past 20 years, he has indeed maintained his loneliness very well.
*
The date for going south has been set, and this time the imperial decree must not be mistaken, Miao Xuan took the time to arrange the itinerary with the help of the reliable old Tang.
There is no need to hurry back on the return trip, but this time, I have to bring Qi Rendong and You Jitai's children and attendants, and of course...the "Xiaojun Princess" who has discarded her identity.
Miao Xuan decided to stuff the little girl who had escaped death into the carriage of the attendants. It was a coincidence that the little girl had a suitable hiding place. Otherwise, there was a little novice in the Qilin Guard's team. It looks very weird, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of verbal criticism. Qilin Wei doesn't care, but the little girl will have a difficult time in the future.
Just when Miao Xuan was planning to find Qi Yanheng to make friends and say goodbye by the way, the father and son came to visit him first. As the old father who was about to send his only son away, Qi Yanheng didn't show any worry, he was just very polite made a request.
"This child has never left Liaodong, and I don't know when he will see me again this time. He is young and frivolous, and no one can control him..." Qi Yanheng sighed softly, and then looked at Miao Xuan sincerely, "I have the audacity to ask , I want Yinteng to worship you as a godfather."
Miao Xuan: "Ah...?"
Qi Rendong raised his head and looked at Miao Xuan with burning eyes, as if at this moment, as long as he showed the slightest expression of willingness, the young man could kneel down and worship, and shouted, "Godfather is here, let the child worship."
Regardless of the possibility of "discovering the sun and seeing the sun", Miao-Lone Wolf-Xuan immediately categorically refused: "That's absolutely unnecessary! No matter what my status is, I will do my best to take care of Yinteng. The Lan family has long been extinct. Treat him as your nephew."
Speaking of this, it is not easy to force it. Although Qi Yanheng had already guessed that Lan Xuan would refuse, but when things turned out to be as he expected, he still felt a fleeting disappointment.
Lan Xuan has always been such a persistent person, but at this time, Qi Yanheng always has nothing to do with Lan Xuan.
Twenty years ago, he couldn't persuade his junior brother who insisted on going to Beijing, and ten years ago, he couldn't invite the commander of Qilin Guard, and now, he can't bring back the leader Lan who has drawn a clear line.
Qi Yanheng could clearly sense Lan Xuan's dissatisfaction with this society, but Lan Xuan would rather accept the royal family's absurd envoy than find another way out with the Qi family. What a good position to be the commander of the Qilin Guard...
However, kindness does not command soldiers, and kindness does not serve as an official. With Lan Xuan's temperament, he will drown in the stinky ditch of Gyeonggi sooner or later.
Qi Yanheng looked sideways at Lan Xuan, except for the fine lines at the corners of his eyes, time didn't seem to have left any marks on this man's body, he seemed to always be so gentle and firm, and this calmness and fearlessness made people feel Can't help yearning and worrying.
There are not many good times in Liaodong, and the spring days are even more sighingly short. Seeing that the snow is about to melt, soon, the dry wind and sand will replace the moist pure wind and occupy the sky of Liaodong.
The obeisance to the adoptive father failed, but the entrustment to the child was still successful. Qi Rendong left obediently after paying obeisance to Miao Xuan. He didn't know what happened to the child. Compared with a few days ago, he seemed to have become particularly dull.
Miao Xuan watched the young man return to the motorcade, and Mu Fengyang slapped him like a fighting cock, no matter what he said, Qi Rendong was unmoved, this punch on the cotton made Mu Fengyang show anger instead.
Miao Xuan: "..."
Mingming is younger, but Qi Rendong's psychological age seems to be much older than Mu Fengyang, probably because the former is the eldest son, and has been in charge of Liaodong affairs since childhood; Never took on any heavy responsibility.
"Whether it's Yinteng or the disciples of Youjitai, they are all at your disposal." Qi Yanheng suddenly said softly, "You don't need to be polite to them, that boy Yinteng only grew up in Liaodong, and his vision is limited here. It’s unavoidable to be rebellious and arrogant, but the advantage lies in the understanding, he will listen to the general reasoning, you can assign it as you like.”
It's hard for the parents of the world, they don't care on the surface, but in fact they entrust them repeatedly. Miao Xuan believes that Qi Yanheng's insurance for his son must be more than his level, but he still said very solemnly: "I will definitely keep him safe."
This time, Qi Yanheng was speechless. He knew how much Lan Xuan valued promises. Since he said so, he would definitely be able to do it. All must be sent back to Liaodong.
Qi Yanheng looked at Baishuiheishan in the distance. One month ago, he welcomed the Qilin Guard on the city wall of Xiangping, and a month later he bid farewell here. This piece of land like splashed ink is his root, but here Can't live in Lanxuan.
Following Qi Yanheng's line of sight, Miao Xuan saw the great mountains and rivers in Saibei. He liked it very much, even if it wasn't in Chunri: "I don't know when we will see each other next time..."
Qi Yanheng withdrew his gaze: "Hurry up, it won't be long."
"Then I'm looking forward to seeing you again." Miao Xuan only took it as a polite remark, and continued the introverted polite way, "Time flies, we have known each other for almost 30 years, right? When will we go back to Hidden Island again? "
"Sooner or later..." Qi Yanheng followed these words and recalled some past memories, "I was not seven years old when I first went to Hidden Island, right?"
Miao Xuan laughed: "Yeah, very delicate, even wearing a fur-collared cloak on the island."
Not only that, Qi Yanheng was quite well-behaved and quiet when he was young, and because of his soft eyebrows and eyes, Miao Xuan mistook him for a girl at first sight, making a big joke, which also aroused the dissatisfaction of this new junior brother, So as a reward, Qi Yanheng also gave Miao Xuan a nickname in the first few years when he was on the island, and insisted on calling it until he was ten years old, and refused to change it no matter what, he was determined to call it like this——
"Xuan, sister." Seven
Qi Yanheng slowly bit out these two words, and the smile in his eyes flashed away. This nickname was supposed to be randomly picked by children without understanding, but now it is whispered by an adult man, which adds a little inexplicable meaning .
He looked at Miao Xuan, rolled his Adam's apple, and said jokingly: "Or sister? I remember... no matter how I called you at that time, you were always willing to answer."
Today's Xiangping is not peaceful, a sudden accident interrupted Qi's plan, and in order to change the fate of the whole family, the study in Qi's mansion has to stay awake again.
"The people from Qilinwei have already found the West Market?" Qi Rendong rubbed the letter in his hand, couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "It's only been a few days, and they really dug out those servants, it's really amazing .”
A group of outsiders from Liaodong screened three people out of the vast crowd in such a short period of time. From anyone's point of view, this is almost impossible, but Jin Yiwei deserves to be Jin Yiwei, they did it.
Qi Rendong admired from the bottom of his heart, he couldn't see it, that gentle and friendly Landu Wei was so good at interrogation, he didn't need to punish or intimidate, he could distinguish the truth from the false just by clever interrogation, and thus obtained a truth that was almost close to the truth information.
But this is also due to the weakness and incompetence of those so-called aristocratic families, don't they all know how to intrigue?Facing Jinyiwei, they are all soft-footed shrimps. Although Youjitai does not have the Liaodong Order below, even such a little thing can't be hidden. It's no wonder that the infiltration of Liaodong by the Western Bureau is inevitable.
"This 'Uncle Lan' is still acting too deviant." Qi Rendong closed the letter in his hand, and judged condescendingly, "Get involved with the widow of the county king, and even want to bring her back to Gyeonggi... What on earth is he doing?" Thought?"
Liaodong is the site of Youjitai. Miao Xuan took the little girl back to the foothold, and Youjitai got the news from behind. Tang Tongzhi cannot be blamed for this. After all, Jinyiwei has almost no foundation in Liaodong. Can he not be alarmed? The people in the Western Bureau are meticulous and cautious.
Even though Qi Rendong has always been aware of Qilinwei's reputation, he was still very surprised when he got the news, but his father didn't seem surprised by it, he just sighed "I'm asking for trouble again"——
Since growing up, Qi Rendong has rarely heard his father speak like this. This is not a sarcasm or ridicule, but a kind of helpless complaint, even with an imperceptible intimacy.
But Qi Rendong still doesn't understand, no matter what, what is the attraction of a woman who is useless and only causes trouble to the upper body?We must know that the competition between Xiju and Jinyiwei is becoming more and more fierce, and mutual supervision is ready to report on each other at any time. If this matter is exposed, it will immediately become a ready-made handle.
The more Qi Rendong thought about it, the more he felt unreasonable: "Could it be that this is self-confidence? Indulging one's hobbies with the emperor's love?"
"Young master, it's not like that." Qi Qi on the side couldn't help it anymore, he took over the quarrel, "Uncle Lan is honest and ascetic, but Lu Zhi is so straight that he seems to act absurdly, he will take in that girl, eight out of ten Ninth is because she pity her... Well, he always can't see these things."
Pitiful?What are you sorry for?Qi Rendong was stunned for a while, and then realized that it was a pity that the princess of the small county was forced to die.
But would a Jinyiwei commander care about this kind of thing?And it was the notorious Qilin Guard!
Although Qi Rendong has long understood the truth that people's words are scary, but he believes that knowing people's faces without knowing their hearts, Qilinwei's notoriety has spread to the people of Liaodong, is it all fabricated out of thin air?Besides, even though Lan Xuan has a good-looking skin, it doesn't prove that he is not a beast in clothes.
"Could it be that the information is all false? Now inside and outside the capital, from the emperor's relatives to the women and children, who doesn't know how many cunning children and beautiful women have been abducted by the commander of the Qilin Guard, who is hungry—"
Qi Yanheng glanced at his son inexplicably, so Qi Rendong trembled all over, and immediately shut his mouth.
Qi Qi didn't seem to have seen the small interaction between the father and son, he continued to smile and said: "Young master, don't mention the martial arts qualifications of Uncle Lan who is unique in the world, and don't mention that he has been killing demons and demons for many years Countless merits, just relying on his kindness for teaching, you shouldn't say that."
Qi Rendong actually sensed something was wrong when he shut up, but he had seen hypocrites all over the place since he was a child, and none of them were real saints. Coupled with his arrogant temper, it was inevitable that he would be a bit willful.
What's more, the people of Liaodong suffered greatly from Jinwuwei and Xiju, and Qilinwei was also a court eagle. Qi Rendong inevitably had prejudice in his heart. There is no way to reverse this stereotype...
"I saw that you were smiling, humble and well-behaved when you were beside Lan Xuan. It turned out that you were not sincere."
Qi Yanheng didn't know when he put down the pen in his hand, looked sideways at the half-grown boy, and asked softly: "I don't know, when did you learn how to behave like those big boys?"
Qi Rendong was taken aback for a moment, and then his face turned red - among Qi's father and son, "big family's children" is not a compliment. The members of these big families seem to be carved out of the same template, regardless of men, women, old or young, They are different from each other, they only put their interests first, they are hypocritical and artificial, and they are never soft when they stab in the back.
Such an evaluation can be regarded as very harsh.
You don't need a heavy hammer to beat the drum, Qi Yanheng didn't yell loudly, his tone was even gentle: "Yinteng, I don't intend to comment on Lan Xuan's character, but you have to know..."
"Since ten years ago, I have been eager for Lanxuan to join Youjitai, but even today, I still can't ask for it."
*
In the season when the frost and snow melt, no matter how beautiful the city is, it will inevitably look sloppy, not to mention the poor drainage system in Xiangping, Liaodong.
Standing on the stele tower beside the city wall avenue, Miao Xuan looked at this rough city from a distance. Although she looked gray due to rain and snow, the gradually recovering vitality could not be ignored, maybe it was born in the cracks of the stones The buds of the trees, maybe the fish hiding under the river, it seems that there are surprises hidden in every corner.
However, the beautiful scenery did not make Miao Xuan feel any relaxation. On the contrary, at this moment, he once again fell into a state of deja vu, in short, numb.
Before he knew it, Qilinwei's investigation had lasted for a month, and all the autopsies were completed, just as Miao Xuan expected, without any new progress.
The cause of death for all people is the same simple and brutal, regardless of their status, all the dead have their heads crushed by external forces, most of them seem to have died in a dream, with muscle relaxation; and all six-year-old children are in extreme pain Tragic death, shocking.
In fact, at this point in the matter, there is nothing to investigate. The evil spirit's criminal background and murder methods are almost clear, but the criteria for selecting the target and its origin and cause are almost impossible to verify. Obscene characteristics, even if people want to trace it, they can't find any clues...
But this does not mean that there is no trace of this thing. There are too many similarities between the two extermination cases, and the conclusion of the former case is ambiguous. The determination of this goal two overlaps.
Although he had expected it, Miao Xuan still felt uneasy. The Four Divine Guards he had been with for so many years still failed to dig out all the secrets of the royal family. What terrible things are hidden in this smoky palace?
I have to go back to Beijing. Target [-] is closely related to the royal family. Only by investigating the royal family more deeply can we dig out the real body of Target [-]...
In other words, the identity of the target before his lifetime.
Miao Xuan once again severely reprimanded the little bastard on the dragon chair. The little system didn't know why, but considering that the little bastard was really an asshole, he followed his brother to open the mic passionately.
No matter what the truth is, the case of extermination of the door cannot be concluded immediately, and the Qilin Wei returned in defeat. This is still in the case of Miao Xuan, the commander, who did not respect his will. It is conceivable that this time there will be a lot of trouble.
Miao Xuan sighed, feeling a severe stomachache for the predictable future he was about to face. The report under the throne and the investigation of the Western Bureau could not escape. , The lethality caused by the latter is by no means comparable to that of the former two. Thinking of Wei Jin laughing eccentrically and congratulating him again, Miao Xuan couldn't help but wipe his face.
The relationship between Xiju and Jinyiwei can almost be compared to the couple who divorced after three hundred rounds of the war. Of course, the status of women in the Jokhang era was extremely low, there was no option for divorce, and there was no same-sex couple, but in Miao Xuan's view Come on, this metaphor is really appropriate.
It is considered polite to turn against each other.
Miao Xuan walked down the archway with his head drooping. He didn't know what the archway was built to commemorate. It was dilapidated and old, and almost no one cleaned it. scenery.
At this very moment, Mu Fengyang was waiting for him at the tea stall at the bottom of the building. Even if this young master was sitting on a small wooden stool by the side of the road, holding a small teacup bowl in his hand, he was called a Da Ma Jin Dao, full of energy and temperament. He was somewhere between a nobleman and a green forest hero. Against the backdrop of the cautious, hunchbacked and even scantily clad people around him, he really stood out from the crowd.
Dazhao, who has lived for more than three hundred years, is dying. In this world, ordinary people are living a hard life, especially the working people who are the cornerstone of society. Too heavy work has crushed their backs, and their life expectancy and health are declining. Day after day of hard work, not to mention taking on a decent set of civilian clothes, even it is difficult to straighten your back.
If it were Miao Xuan who was on a similar occasion, he would only find an inconspicuous corner to rest, but Mu Fengyang must want the best position, even though the C position seems to him too dilapidated to be seen.
Spring is approaching in Liaodong, and both farmers and craftsmen are busy. Therefore, except for Mu Fengyang, the rest of the customers in this tea stall are porters. They probably just completed a business and are delivering the goods to Xiangping. After that, I found a cheap tea stall near the main road to rest.
But it is amazing that in such a simple place, there is actually a storyteller on the stage who is singing and playing. The story is simpler than Zaju, and it is very colloquial, even illiterate porters can understand it clearly.
"...a unicorn stepping on the auspicious clouds is hard to get rid of in the world!" The storyteller was impassioned, "What a noble person is the holy emperor? She was not surprised at all when she saw the unicorn descending from the sky, and she just laughed and said, "My son came from the sky." '! So the unicorn gave birth, the dragon chant endlessly, the red sun entered the bosom, and the golden light was everywhere!"
This is about the birth of the first emperor of the Jokhang Dynasty, a lady from a low family background.Zu was also a sincere person. After ascending the throne, he divided up the blood of all his relatives that he still remembered. Among them, his biological mother who died early was named the Empress Dowager Shengchun, commonly known as the Empress Dowager Shengjun.
The audience in the audience had already been brought into the scene, and they all exclaimed in surprise, only Mu Fengyang, with a face on his shoulders, cracked the tea bowl in his hand.
The storyteller on that stage is indeed a capable person. He saw the displeasure of the big benefactor at a glance, and immediately changed his words: "Ah! Qilin, auspicious beast! Wenchang Wuxing, loyal and upright, this son-off is just an auspicious act One, next please listen to me explain "Shenwu Qilin Biography" in detail!"
Mu Fengyang calmed down a bit, and took out a large amount of broken silver and threw it on the stage. With a clang, the card was very good, so the storyteller worked hard like chicken blood, and the longing on his face almost made him say it out loud. like.
Miao Xuan: ...
At this moment, Mu Fengyang also saw Miao Xuan, so he casually put down his tea bowl, and triumphantly walked to the commander's side: "Landu Wei, you see, folks really admire unicorns."
Miao Xuan: ...
Small system: ...
Miao Xuan acted as if he hadn't seen that set of threats and rewards. Although he didn't care about Qilinwei's reputation, Mu Fengyang would do this in all likelihood to comfort his bad mood. The family is very rich, so let him go.
The two got on their horses again and walked along the avenue to Xiangping City. The melted snow filled the side of the gravel-paved road, and from time to time there were convoys that were deeply soiled.
Mu Fengyang frowned and looked at the vehicles coming and going, and whispered worriedly: "Guwei, Youjitai is collecting salt, iron, grain and wood, and there are many high-quality horse farms in Liaodong, Qi's has long been ready. !"
Of course Miao Xuan knew it, but to be honest, he actually hoped that Qi Yanheng would succeed in rebelling tomorrow morning, and then lock up the little emperor as a deposed emperor. At that time, he would promise to help Qi Yanheng block Wei Jin, and then the new era and new atmosphere ...
But if you think about it, you just think about it. There is an oath between the three major families and the royal family, and the king of Liaodong has also burped. Right now, Qi Yanheng has encountered an unprecedented problem, and he has to find another way to break the situation.
Furthermore, the people from the Western Bureau are still stationed in various cities in Liaodong. Compared with the Qilin Guard who has been paddling, the Western Bureau is extremely vigilant against the rebellious officials and thieves who have no evidence for the time being.
Miao Xuan was thinking about something, so he said casually: "Don't worry, Old Tang will write it on the memorial."
Mu Fengyang was stunned for a moment, and then he was stunned: "Gu Wei, you trust Tang Tongzhi too much! And how can we allow such dangerous behavior? We must do something to warn Youjitai!"
Miao Xuan: "..."
Miao Xuan thought with a stomach ache, what else can I do, go and get those two father and son drunk together tonight?Everyone stayed up all night to talk, meet each other openly, hold candles, and share interests and disadvantages. From now on, we will set things right and restore peace to Liaodong!
Mu Fengyang didn't understand the governor's silence, and he continued to sue: "Guard, I think Tang Tongzhi is really useless, he bought a little girl from somewhere, and left her in the room dressed as a novice." Now, when I pressed him, he still couldn't explain why, heh, he still wanted to deceive me by adopting him, and it seemed that he was lustful!"
system:……
Miao Xuan: "..."
Old Tang, our respectable and reliable old Tang, I'm sorry for you.
Mu Fengyang didn't know how heartbroken his Lan Duwei was at the moment, he just commented on himself, and pointed out some colleagues, deeply feeling that the whole Qilin Guard was useless, only he was worthy of it The superintendent has blue eyes, so he became more and more interested, wishing to do something earth-shattering, so that the superintendent would look sideways and praise him.
For example... breaking the Qi family's salt and iron conspiracy and exposing the inside story of the tragedy in the Liaodong Palace.
Thanks to Miao Xuan's determination to return to Gyeonggi to investigate Xinmi as soon as possible, he didn't give Mu Fengyang a chance to implement his plan, otherwise he would be defeated immediately by this new employee's good job of taking down the company's system with one click.
The two of them thought about their own things, and finally returned to the station. Before Miao Xuan could come up with an excuse to send Xiao Mu away, Tang Tongzhi hurried up to greet him: "Guardian, the imperial edict has arrived!"
*
To welcome the imperial decree, you still have to follow the steps.
This time the imperial decree was different. The little emperor sent a pure ceremonial team. Except for ordinary guards, there were no members of the Western Bureau. The ritual officers and eunuchs who kept the decree were not well-known people. The two imperial edicts were designated to be handed over to the Commander of Qilin Guard and Qi Yanheng of Youjitai.
The imperial decree designated for the Qi family was also handed over to the Youji Terrace, surrounded by clouds and fog, and before the escorting officials could react, the ceremony was over.
However, since Qilinwei is still an eagle dog of the imperial court, Miao Xuan can only honestly set up an incense table to knock on the imperial decree. The content of the decree is quite simple, which can be summarized into two points. Second, escort Qi's son to Beijing.
Ever since the Lan family was wiped out, the royal family has set their longing eyes on Youji Terrace, inviting the Qi family to the capital almost every year. Although they are always declined, they still look eager for talents.
Judging from this decree, the little emperor seemed to have inherited his late father's will, but this time he unceremoniously extended an invitation to the entire Youjitai, but rather forcefully asked Qi Rendong to go to Beijing to study.
And for such a will, Qi Yanheng actually agreed.
Miao Xuan realized after a short period of astonishment that the King of Liaodong was dead, and Qi Yanheng needed to find a new way to break the situation. It just so happened that the royal family also treated Qi with courtesy, so before tearing his face, Qi Rendong's southward trip became an opportunity.
But there is also a huge risk in this. Even if the royal family can't really do anything to the children of the three major families because of the covenant, Qi Rendong's situation is almost equivalent to that of a proton. He is Qi Yanheng's only child and has no substitute...
After so many years, why didn't Qi Yanheng remarry and didn't have a second child?
This is a question that many people can't figure out, and the answer is very simple, because the direct descendants of the Qi family have almost lost the possibility of having the next generation.
The crisis of heirs is not only a problem for the royal family, but also a problem for the three major families. The Shen family lives in seclusion, so one generation is not as good as the next generation, and now it is no different from ordinary people; There are almost no newborns in ten families. Even if there are, it will require the mother to pay a huge price.
This is the case for Lan Xuan's biological mother, Shen Lang. She is a once-in-a-hundred-year genius, and a rare outstanding child after the fall of the Shen family. You must know that the most important marriage method of the three major families is matching. Her talent and strength can be seen from the marriage of her eldest son.
Such a master of martial arts must have strong internal strength and body. Even if he is seriously injured, he can recover completely in a short time. However, in order to give birth to the next generation, Shen Lang paid a huge price. She gritted her teeth and passed the childbirth barrier, but she also suffered from stubborn illnesses and died young.
Even a master like Shen Lang had such a hard time conceiving, let alone Qi Rendong's mother. When Qi Yanheng got married under the arrangement of the elders, the young couple were only fifteen or sixteen years old. The adopted daughter was equally gifted and skilled in martial arts, but she weakened rapidly after she was pregnant with the child, and barely survived until the childbirth, and finally died of a bloody collapse.
At that time, Qi Yanheng couldn't disobey the demands of the elders, and married the girl who had always been her younger sister. This young couple got married in ignorance. Maybe they had a child in a daze before they had figured out their future path. Seeing this The newborn sucks the life of the mother uncontrollably, and the young Qi Yanheng of course advocates aborting the child to protect the mother, but——
In this huge Qi family, he is the only one who thinks so.
How can an adopted orphan compare with a future legitimate son?Not only the elders of the family, but even Qi Yanheng's younger sister and wife thought so. When Qi Yanheng was sent to Shen's Hidden Island for training, this poor little girl was tamed by Qi's subconsciously. Qi's direct line gave birth to a child, regardless of the price, even if it cost his life.
In the end, the child was born in a healthy state, but his young little mother was completely broken, and died in Qi Yanheng's arms in the pain of bleeding.
Miao Xuan did not see this scene, and when he arrived in Liaodong, he only had time to attend the funeral, but he witnessed with his own eyes the underworld operation of the elders of the Qi family urging the widower to marry him at the funeral——
This group of people really thinks from the bottom of their hearts that exchanging one wife for one child is a worthwhile business. Since they can be born, it doesn't matter if they die. Wouldn't it be good to marry more wives and more concubines?
All these left unhealed scars in the heart of the young Qi Yanheng, and it is precisely because of this that after he took charge of the Qi family, almost all the elders of the previous generation disappeared, and he raised Qi Rendong alone, and he is still open-minded today. as a widower.
The heirs of the three sects have paid too much for being single. Qi Yanheng is avoiding marriage urges and refusing blind dates every year; Miao Xuan is more difficult. After all, Qilinwei is working for the royal family, so after he came out on Yindao, he faced another challenge. The royal family bestowed a marriage, so they had to say loudly in front of the Golden Luan Hall, "I just can't do it in front of women."
The latter was too frightening, not to mention the old emperor's little prince Concubine Lan, even the well-informed Wei Jin had a blank face at the time, as if he had been struck by lightning...
Lan Xuan is not suitable for starting a family, not to mention his partner and relatives, he should not even have any close friends, otherwise they will only bear unnecessary pain and suffering because of him.
Miao Xuan understands this very clearly, and in the past 20 years, he has indeed maintained his loneliness very well.
*
The date for going south has been set, and this time the imperial decree must not be mistaken, Miao Xuan took the time to arrange the itinerary with the help of the reliable old Tang.
There is no need to hurry back on the return trip, but this time, I have to bring Qi Rendong and You Jitai's children and attendants, and of course...the "Xiaojun Princess" who has discarded her identity.
Miao Xuan decided to stuff the little girl who had escaped death into the carriage of the attendants. It was a coincidence that the little girl had a suitable hiding place. Otherwise, there was a little novice in the Qilin Guard's team. It looks very weird, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of verbal criticism. Qilin Wei doesn't care, but the little girl will have a difficult time in the future.
Just when Miao Xuan was planning to find Qi Yanheng to make friends and say goodbye by the way, the father and son came to visit him first. As the old father who was about to send his only son away, Qi Yanheng didn't show any worry, he was just very polite made a request.
"This child has never left Liaodong, and I don't know when he will see me again this time. He is young and frivolous, and no one can control him..." Qi Yanheng sighed softly, and then looked at Miao Xuan sincerely, "I have the audacity to ask , I want Yinteng to worship you as a godfather."
Miao Xuan: "Ah...?"
Qi Rendong raised his head and looked at Miao Xuan with burning eyes, as if at this moment, as long as he showed the slightest expression of willingness, the young man could kneel down and worship, and shouted, "Godfather is here, let the child worship."
Regardless of the possibility of "discovering the sun and seeing the sun", Miao-Lone Wolf-Xuan immediately categorically refused: "That's absolutely unnecessary! No matter what my status is, I will do my best to take care of Yinteng. The Lan family has long been extinct. Treat him as your nephew."
Speaking of this, it is not easy to force it. Although Qi Yanheng had already guessed that Lan Xuan would refuse, but when things turned out to be as he expected, he still felt a fleeting disappointment.
Lan Xuan has always been such a persistent person, but at this time, Qi Yanheng always has nothing to do with Lan Xuan.
Twenty years ago, he couldn't persuade his junior brother who insisted on going to Beijing, and ten years ago, he couldn't invite the commander of Qilin Guard, and now, he can't bring back the leader Lan who has drawn a clear line.
Qi Yanheng could clearly sense Lan Xuan's dissatisfaction with this society, but Lan Xuan would rather accept the royal family's absurd envoy than find another way out with the Qi family. What a good position to be the commander of the Qilin Guard...
However, kindness does not command soldiers, and kindness does not serve as an official. With Lan Xuan's temperament, he will drown in the stinky ditch of Gyeonggi sooner or later.
Qi Yanheng looked sideways at Lan Xuan, except for the fine lines at the corners of his eyes, time didn't seem to have left any marks on this man's body, he seemed to always be so gentle and firm, and this calmness and fearlessness made people feel Can't help yearning and worrying.
There are not many good times in Liaodong, and the spring days are even more sighingly short. Seeing that the snow is about to melt, soon, the dry wind and sand will replace the moist pure wind and occupy the sky of Liaodong.
The obeisance to the adoptive father failed, but the entrustment to the child was still successful. Qi Rendong left obediently after paying obeisance to Miao Xuan. He didn't know what happened to the child. Compared with a few days ago, he seemed to have become particularly dull.
Miao Xuan watched the young man return to the motorcade, and Mu Fengyang slapped him like a fighting cock, no matter what he said, Qi Rendong was unmoved, this punch on the cotton made Mu Fengyang show anger instead.
Miao Xuan: "..."
Mingming is younger, but Qi Rendong's psychological age seems to be much older than Mu Fengyang, probably because the former is the eldest son, and has been in charge of Liaodong affairs since childhood; Never took on any heavy responsibility.
"Whether it's Yinteng or the disciples of Youjitai, they are all at your disposal." Qi Yanheng suddenly said softly, "You don't need to be polite to them, that boy Yinteng only grew up in Liaodong, and his vision is limited here. It’s unavoidable to be rebellious and arrogant, but the advantage lies in the understanding, he will listen to the general reasoning, you can assign it as you like.”
It's hard for the parents of the world, they don't care on the surface, but in fact they entrust them repeatedly. Miao Xuan believes that Qi Yanheng's insurance for his son must be more than his level, but he still said very solemnly: "I will definitely keep him safe."
This time, Qi Yanheng was speechless. He knew how much Lan Xuan valued promises. Since he said so, he would definitely be able to do it. All must be sent back to Liaodong.
Qi Yanheng looked at Baishuiheishan in the distance. One month ago, he welcomed the Qilin Guard on the city wall of Xiangping, and a month later he bid farewell here. This piece of land like splashed ink is his root, but here Can't live in Lanxuan.
Following Qi Yanheng's line of sight, Miao Xuan saw the great mountains and rivers in Saibei. He liked it very much, even if it wasn't in Chunri: "I don't know when we will see each other next time..."
Qi Yanheng withdrew his gaze: "Hurry up, it won't be long."
"Then I'm looking forward to seeing you again." Miao Xuan only took it as a polite remark, and continued the introverted polite way, "Time flies, we have known each other for almost 30 years, right? When will we go back to Hidden Island again? "
"Sooner or later..." Qi Yanheng followed these words and recalled some past memories, "I was not seven years old when I first went to Hidden Island, right?"
Miao Xuan laughed: "Yeah, very delicate, even wearing a fur-collared cloak on the island."
Not only that, Qi Yanheng was quite well-behaved and quiet when he was young, and because of his soft eyebrows and eyes, Miao Xuan mistook him for a girl at first sight, making a big joke, which also aroused the dissatisfaction of this new junior brother, So as a reward, Qi Yanheng also gave Miao Xuan a nickname in the first few years when he was on the island, and insisted on calling it until he was ten years old, and refused to change it no matter what, he was determined to call it like this——
"Xuan, sister." Seven
Qi Yanheng slowly bit out these two words, and the smile in his eyes flashed away. This nickname was supposed to be randomly picked by children without understanding, but now it is whispered by an adult man, which adds a little inexplicable meaning .
He looked at Miao Xuan, rolled his Adam's apple, and said jokingly: "Or sister? I remember... no matter how I called you at that time, you were always willing to answer."
