The son is responsible

On the painting, there are three men and three women. One man is someone he is very familiar with. He grew up with him. He is the head of the dark guard of the Ye family. aunt.

Another strong man, although he didn't recognize him, was carrying a very large black iron sword behind his back.He had only seen such a sword in two lifetimes.

The woman standing next to him was as light as snow, like a plum blossom blooming in the ice and snow, her features were somewhat similar to the strong man beside him.Xue Muji already guessed in his heart that the second wife's third aunt, Ji Ming's older sister, third uncle's confidante, the doctor who stole her brother and deceived everyone into saying she was a meat ball.And the strong man with the iron sword on his back should be her father.

There are two more, a loving couple.

The husband is holding his wife in his arms, and the wife is tenderly watching him in front of the painting with tenderness.

It was like in the small room, the elder brother gazed into his eyes with affection.

Xue Muji suddenly closed the book.

He felt that he couldn't breathe, and he tried his best to calm down his ups and downs. He seemed to know what kind of thing the third uncle was hiding in the Xiliang Mountains, and he finally understood all the meaning of Ji Ming's words.

A series of fragments gradually took shape in his mind.

In the second life, why did Lu Yu recognize his elder brother as his adopted son, he finally, no longer doubted.

But in the previous life, my elder brother was an official to the Minister of Dali Temple, and he was also an important minister in the court, but according to Shen Chu's broken thoughts to Pan Yunjian, my elder brother didn't seem to have encountered any danger to his life.

There is only one reason. In the last life, the emperor didn't know that his elder brother was the only existence in this world that threatened his throne.

In this life, he was reborn as the son of Pingjiang, forcibly changed his sister's fate, but pushed his brother into danger.In this life, he was reborn as the son of Pingjiang, forcibly changed his sister's fate, but pushed his brother into danger.He was the one who took his elder brother to Yongdu before Lu Yu recognized his elder brother as his adopted son.

There were footsteps on the stairs.

Xue Muji turned his head again, without any shock or fear, and resumed his usual tone, "Brother, why are you here?"

"Someone sent me a letter. It was a reply from my adoptive father. Mr. Shen recruited the bandits in Xiliang. It seemed that I was in trouble. My adoptive father asked me to lead the Jin Jiawei to the Xiliang Mountains to meet Mr. Shen." Lu Zhao said. .

"Why is the Golden Armored Guard going? You are so far away from the Xiliang Mountains, where is the Forbidden Army?" Xue Muji couldn't believe anyone's words now.

"The Crown Prince of Xiliang showed up in Yongdu, saying that he was going to welcome General Yue back to the country. The emperor was meeting with the Crown Prince of Xiliang in Yongdu, and it was inconvenient to transfer the Imperial Guards guarding the city. And we went north to return to Yongdu, so we could take the opportunity to relieve the urgent need. "Lu Zhao felt that Xue Mu was very strange, since he mentioned the Xiliang Mountains.

"do not go!"

Back to Yongdu, only Yongdu is safe, and the Prince Regent's Mansion is the safest place.

Xue Muji was convinced that Lu Yu didn't know what the little emperor was doing, if he knew, Lu Yu would be so disappointed.He had worked so hard to recognize his elder brother as his adopted son and kept him by his side. He would never allow the little emperor to do such nonsense.

"You don't want me to save Shen Chu?" Lu Zhao asked suddenly.

"Master Shen? Shen Chu? What official is he now?" Xue Muji just realized that Master Shen is Shen Chu!

"I was transferred from Dali Temple to the Imperial Prime Minister." Lu Zhao said, "Originally, I should go to recruit the bandits in the Xiliang Mountains, and he should come to the trip to Yanli City. Because he has suffered from severe headaches for the past year, and it is said that he was injured that year. The imperial doctor was also helpless. One day before the departure, he fainted directly in the main hall and was carried back to the mansion. The emperor was afraid that the road would be far south, and Mr. Shen would fall ill again due to the bumpy journey, so he issued a secret decree for us to exchange. Father is investigating the treasure, and I am in the palace, and I also know the details of the Yanlicheng case, so it is not difficult to take over. It just so happens that I can go back to Pingjiang once."

What a long way, what a faint!Brother, you don't know anything at all.The farther away from Yongdu, the easier it is for Li Jialin's hidden guards to strike, and the easier it is to hide it from Lu Yu.

It was obviously designed by the two of them, one pretending to be a headache, the other pretending to be a gentleman who cares about his subordinates, and logically issued an order to push you into the trap.

"No, you can't go." Xue Muji grabbed his brother's arm, "Shen Chu is not sick at all, he pretended, he wanted to harm you."

Xue Muji couldn't say who was behind the assassination of his brother, so he could only use Shen Chu as a shield first.But Shen Chu was obviously an accomplice, not innocent.Before meeting Lu Yu and hearing the truth from Lu Yu, he didn't want to tell his brother everything.

This is a major event that can shake the world, and he needs to know what Lu Yu thinks.

Lu Zhao smiled, without doubt or anger on his face, "Xue Muji, I know that you and Shen Chu had a close relationship in the past, so you don't have to deliberately keep a distance from your past friends for the sake of my feelings. Your heart, Here I am, I know."

Talking about love at this time doesn't fit the atmosphere at all, brother!

What do you say that you have a close relationship with Shen Chu? Who is with him who is greedy for life and afraid of death, disregarding his brother's life and death, robbing his brother's fiancee, and shamelessly pretending that he is not familiar with the eldest princess's house? Even the bastard that Princess Sulian is going to marry Feng Jun The white-eyed wolf who went to persuade him has a close relationship...wait...wait...

"Brother, how do you know that Shen Chu and I used to be very close!!!" Xue Muji opened his eyes wide, unbelievable, his friendship with Shen Chu was a matter of his previous life, it was Xie Manxing's life, not his Xue Muji's life.

"Xie Manxing... the youngest son of Princess Qi'an and Concubine Xie, Yongdu is a dude, with excellent calligraphy and painting. He ran away from home, traveled far away, and disappeared for eight years. Every year, he sent a letter home from the post station in Pingjiang City to report. It's safe." Lu Zhao said quietly, "Even the shadow guard camp of the adoptive father can't find out where the others are."

Xue Muji stood there like a stone, "Brother...Brother...you know..."

Then never ask again.

There are several thunderbolts in succession, I can't bear it, my God!

Lu Zhao said with certainty, "I know, I've always known that you are Xie Manxing."

After Xue Muji was reborn, this was the only thing he planned to keep from his brother for the rest of his life.However... People already knew about it, not only accepted it very calmly and silently, but also pretended not to know it without telling him. He really ate so many years of white rice for nothing!

He asked himself that being the eldest son, he didn't change much except his personality, but his brother had never met Xie Manxing, how could he be so sure that his soul belonged to Xie Manxing!

"Because of the word."

"Character?"

"It's impossible for a person who doesn't like writing since he was a child to suddenly become beautiful after being bitten by a dog. Although you tried your best to imitate Prince Pingjiang's writing, your skills are completely different after all. No matter how ugly your handwriting is, it still has charm. Skeleton. You took me on a night boat tour of Pingjiang for the first time. In the carriage, you wrote the letter that kidnapped yourself. You forgot the disguise and wrote it fluently and beautifully. But I was just surprised and didn’t think of any soul transformation. "

What a failure!Brother, don't hit me like this!It's not easy for me to twitch after imitating that shit!

"Not only words, but also your paintings. You painted my portrait. I picked it up. You lied to me that it was drawn by my elder brother, but I knew that it was drawn by you. Such fine brushwork does not accumulate ten years of painting skills. , is absolutely impossible to draw.”

That's right, my brother is so smart, it's not surprising that the two of them are together every day.

"You are a different person from before. I was afraid at that time that you will change back one day." Lu Zhao thought of Xue Mu's eagerness to get close to him, but he always avoided him.

"But you don't know Xie Manxing..."

"But I've seen the letter you wrote to Xie Concubine, one every year and mailed regularly." Lu Zhao said, "The time you took me to Yongdu, the emperor said that he would choose a concubine for Princess Sulian. I'm happy. Your concern for Princess Sulian made me pay attention to the eldest princess's mansion."

Xue Muji didn't know at all that at that time his elder brother was always silent, and he was thinking so much in his heart.

"But I have observed for a long time. You don't hate Xie Mu, but help him everywhere. Your feelings for Princess Sulian are more like family affection. And Princess Sulian only has one younger brother." Lu Zhao said, "Before leaving Yongdu , I secretly asked Mrs. Xie for a copy of Xie Manxing's old calligraphy and painting, which are exactly the same, so I confirmed that the person living in the body of Prince Pingjiang is the prince of Princess Qi'an's mansion, called Xie Manxing."

Dad, why don't you just give away my paintings when you have nothing to do!

"After returning to the Marquis' Mansion, I moved out of your yard and stayed in the library day and night, reading a lot of records about the strange powers."

Brother, aren't you reading the criminal law book?Did you put the criminal law book on top and the ghost story book on the bottom?Xue Muji was speechless.

"Don't you think it's scary? This kind of soul travel..." Xue Muji asked himself, if he hadn't met him, he would never have believed that such a thing existed in the world.

"Is it scary? It's scary, but you can't hide from it. You always follow me. Afterwards, you get used to it. Even if you are a real ghost, you are better than Prince Pingjiang to me."

"Recognizing me again is probably because of my handwriting." Xue Muji understood that he had carved words in the tomb of the former king, so his brother had a completely different attitude when he entered and exited the tomb.Even if he changed his body, no one could imitate Xie Manxing's unique rhyme.

Lu Zhao nodded.

The elder brother has been watching him, so he was able to discover these subtle differences. Xue Muji hugged him and kissed Lu Zhao's side face, "I'm not afraid to wear it elsewhere in the future."

"Did you find what you were looking for?" Lu Zhao asked.

Xue Muji shook his head, "Forget it, if you don't look for it, it's useless."

Lu Zhao didn't ask any more questions, but his adoptive father's tone was very urgent, as if the Xiliang bandits were very troublesome, he planned to leave tomorrow, and he was afraid that Xue Muji would have to look for half a month and a year.

Xue Muji leaned on his elder brother, he made up his mind not to let his elder brother jump into the trap dug by Li Jialin and Shen Chu, and absolutely not to let his elder brother take Jin Jiawei to the Xiliang Mountains.

"Brother, do you know how I died that year?" Xue Muji said softly.

He felt Lu Zhao's slightly contracted arms.

"Because of Shen Chu, I regarded him as a friend, but he betrayed me." Xue Muji tightened his arms around his brother, and said fiercely, "I died in the Xiliang Mountains, and my body was divided into pieces. One hundred and eight fast, the soul wandered for two years before it was formed. I hate him, I don't want to save him, and I don't want you to save him, brother. The debt he owes me is finally time to pay."
