It was already night, but the wind blew up again. As soon as I entered the woods behind the South Alley, the lantern in my hand was blown out.There are many potholes in the woods in the south alley, Yuan Bao supported Wei Jingyuan in the dark, and moved forward cautiously.Wei Jingyuan came to the place where we met before, and waited for half a stick of incense, but he didn't see the person coming.At this moment, Yuan Bao couldn't bear his temper anymore, and whispered: "Eldest Young Master, is it possible that this person won't come?"

Wei Jingyuan shook his head slightly: "No, he must be observing us in secret at this time." After finishing speaking, Wei Jingyuan and Yuan Bao looked around for a few times, because the sky was too dark, except for the trees swaying in the night wind, even the silhouettes were invisible.

Wei Jingyuan's guess was right, Liang Zhen was hiding in the dark, watching them peekingly.

Yuan Bao only felt the cold air coming from his back, and said nervously, "Eldest Young Master, why don't we go back?"

Wei Jingyuan smiled: "Don't be afraid, I'm the one for everything." Wei Jingyuan turned around and looked at the woods not far away, and shouted from the air: "Since Xiongtai is here, why don't you show up to see him? Could it be that you are afraid of me? Take your life?" Wei Jingyuan seemed to be mocking, smiled and said: "Tonight, there are only two of us, you can rest assured, brother, please come out and see." Wei Jingyuan's voice echoed in the dark forest , He didn't see that person show up until he recovered.

Yuan Bao trembled all over: "Eldest Young Master, let's go back."

Wei Jingyuan frowned slightly, could it be that he guessed wrong, that person did not escape from his mother's murderous hand?If this is the case, where did the jade pendant come from, and how could he know the secret words between him and that person?Wei Jingyuan was suddenly clever, his heart was not good, he turned to Yuan Bao and said, "Hurry back to the house, hurry up."

As soon as the words fell, it was too late, I saw a black shadow approaching, before Wei Jingyuan was on guard, a knife blade with a cold light was placed under Wei Jingyuan's neck.Wei Jingyuan quickly stabilized his body and stayed still to observe the situation.

"Young Master." Yuan Bao roared in shock.

Liang Zhen raised the dagger upwards, and said: "Don't go forward, otherwise your master's body will be decapitated."

Yuan Bao stopped in his tracks, staring at Liang Zhen with wide eyes not far away.

"Since the eldest son is here, why do you want to leave in such a hurry?" Liang Zhen said with a faint smile, and the dagger was even closer to Wei Jingyuan's flesh, even with a shake, it could be on Wei Jingyuan's neck Make a small mouth.

Seeing that it was him who came, Wei Jingyuan couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "I thought Xiongtai wouldn't come, so I thought about leaving."

Liang Zhen sneered: "Eldest Young Master can still laugh, could it be you, my brothers would not die without a burial place." Liang Zhen seemed angry, but he didn't use much strength in his hands, he said again: " Is the eldest son ready to be buried with them?"

Wei Jingyuan said calmly: "Brother, why don't you put down the dagger and talk nicely with me, are you afraid that we will run away?"

Liang Zhen was not provoked, and said with a smile: "What else do you want to say, Eldest Young Master?"

Wei Jingyuan saw that he didn't like this, so he had to change his method, and said softly: "Since I dare to come, I don't believe that Xiongtai will take my life. I'm not afraid to speak plainly, Xiongtai has got silver taels now, and he doesn't have to fight with me. Wouldn't it be a beautiful thing for others to share, isn't this what Xiongtai thought before?"

Liang Zhen was very surprised, he never expected that the eleven or twelve-year-old child in front of him could see through his mind.That's right, when Wei Jingyuan came up with an idea earlier, he decided to take the risk and took his brothers to blackmail the Duke's wife. He also expected that the Duke's wife would secretly make such a cruel move, but Liang Zhen had a clever mind and skills, so he Under the eyes of everyone, he escaped the catastrophe, and at the same time got the silver taels of the Duke's wife.

"Nonsense, I was born and died with them, how could it be..." Liang Zhen just defended casually, before he finished speaking, he heard Wei Jingyuan say: "It is true that we were born and died, but it is not like brotherhood."

At this moment, Liang Zhen didn't need to pretend any longer, and put down the dagger with a smile: "Young Master is so courageous, let me admire you."

Wei Jingyuan subconsciously touched the place where the dagger touched, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. When he turned around, he said with a smile: "With all due respect, my brother is different from them. How can they be confused if they are not in the pool?" .In addition, those people commit crimes and commit crimes on weekdays, and they deserve to die. Brother, I will definitely not cut off my fortune for such people."

Liang Zhen was startled: "Financial resources? How do you say that?"

Wei Jingyuan smiled slightly and said, "Brother, did you ever serve in the army?"

Liang Zhen stared wide-eyed, and raised the dagger in front of him again: "How do you know?"

Wei Jingyuan hurriedly said: "Brother, don't panic, I'm just guessing casually." Wei Jingyuan looked at Liang Zhen carefully, although his clothes were ordinary, it was very easy to see the clues: "If my guess is right, brother should It's a military scout."

Liang Zhen's eyes shot out killing intent: "How did you guess?"

"It's not difficult to guess. Brother Tai's clothes are too neat, and he looks light and nimble. Besides, you just hid in the dark and waited for the opportunity to move, and you are sure that there will be a wind tonight, which will be beneficial to you." Wei Jingyuan's gaze fell on On the dagger that was emitting a cold light, he said with a smile: "It will be revealed when you use it, and it will be hidden when you don't use it. I don't know if I guessed it right?" After finishing speaking, Wei Jingyuan still couldn't stop looking at him more, this man has big sword eyebrows His eyes were vaguely heroic, and if he hadn't come from a low background, he would have done something.

Liang Zhen sneered, "Why don't you guess I'm an assassin?"

"The two are no different. They are related, so why distinguish them too carefully." Wei Jingyuan said with a smile.

"Whether I am in the army or not has nothing to do with you, you should tell me where the money comes from." Liang Zhen talked about him from left to right.

Wei Jingyuan understood a little bit, so he didn't mention his identity again, and instead said: "Brother took my mother's silver, why didn't you want to go far away, but came to find me again? I think...the reason for this is definitely Isn't it as simple as taking revenge for others?"

Now that the words have been spoken, Liang Zhen doesn't need to hide anything, he said bluntly: "I am a greedy person, now that I know such a secret, how can I easily miss it?"

Liang Zhen's thoughts coincided with Wei Jingyuan's conjecture. As for why Liang Zhen needs silver taels so much, Wei Jingyuan has no time to guess. As long as he needs silver taels, it is a good thing for Wei Jingyuan. people.

"Okay, brother, since you dare to speak and act, then I will speak up." Wei Jingyuan suppressed his smile, and said seriously: "Brother knows my background, so he must be able to predict my predicament in the mansion, but I am alone, and I don't know how to fight. , there is no one who can help me, if brother is willing, I hope you can stay by my side and help me to be healthy, and the succession will be successful in the future, and the benefits of brother will be indispensable." There is no lack of politeness in the words, even though he is asking Liang Zhen Doing things for him, but speaking in a high-sounding manner, it sounds very pleasing to the ear.

Liang Zhen pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is this the source of wealth that the eldest son said?"

Wei Jingyuan responded: "It's better to stay by my side than the hardships in this south alley. Please consider carefully." Wei Jingyuan took out the jade pendant from his bosom and sent it to Liang Zhen, and said softly: "It's getting late, I If you return to the mansion late, I'm afraid it will arouse people's suspicion. If you make a decision, you can send the jade pendant to the mansion. Everything will dissipate with the wind, and no one will know about it forever."

After Wei Jingyuan finished speaking, Liang Zhen looked at him scrutinizingly for a while, and then took the jade pendant over.

Wei Jingyuan said with satisfaction: "Brother, please consider carefully, I'll go back first." Wei Jingyuan finished what he had to say, turned around and walked out of the woods with Yuan Bao.

A few steps away, the man's voice suddenly came from behind: "I am Liang Zhen."

Wei Jingyuan didn't turn around, but stepped out of the woods faster.

Wei Jingyuan and Yuan Bao returned on foot as usual. On the way, Yuan Bao was puzzled and said, "Young Master, do you think Liang Town can really do things for you?"

Wei Jingyuan sighed and said, "Even if it can be used by me, it is still unknown. Suspicion is inevitable, so there is no rush."

"Is he really a military scout?"

Wei Jingyuan shook his head: "I'm just flattering him, it doesn't matter if I am or not."

"It is said that people make money and birds die for food. If he finds a better way of making money in the future, will he betray the young master?" Yuan Bao seemed to have grown up and knew how to guess other people's thoughts.

Wei Jingyuan smiled slightly: "Employees are not suspicious and others are not." Even so, how could Wei Jingyuan not think of this, the way out is still to be reserved.

Under the cover of the moonlight, Wei Jingyuan returned to the mansion smoothly, but at this time the Duke's Mansion was full of excitement, Wei Jingyuan was surprised, so he ordered Yuan Bao to investigate, and he went back to the east first.

But when it was half a stick of incense, Yuan Bao ran back: "Young Master, today is a double happiness."

"Double Happiness?" Wei Jingyuan sat in front of the window in his underwear, put down the book in his hand and said, "Aunt Cao's pregnancy is considered a happy event, where does the other happiness come from?"

Yuan Bao hurriedly said: "Aunt Wang is also pregnant, and the doctor personally took the pulse."

Wei Jingyuan suddenly realized, how could he forget this matter.Over the past few days, Mrs. Wang must have noticed something, but I don't know if Mrs. Wang said it on purpose today, or if she happened to catch up with Mrs. Cao and invite the prime minister into the mansion.Wei Jingyuan stood up with a smile, the days to come are really lively.

Wei Jingyuan was no longer sleepy, so he ordered Yuan Bao: "Changing clothes for me."

"Master, it's been a while, where are you going?"

"As you said, double happiness is coming to the door today, how can I not go to congratulate him?" Wei Jingyuan raised the corners of his mouth, turned around and opened his arms, waiting for Yuan Bao to change his clothes.

Wei Guohuai was at Wang's residence at this time, with a smile on his face, Wei Jingyuan stepped over the threshold, Bixi, the girl next to Wang, hurriedly said: "Master, the young master is here."

Wei Guohuai looked over with a smile: "Yuan'er is here, sit down."

Wei Jingyuan sat beside him in response, and looked at Wang Shi who was sitting at the other end, smiling like a flower, really happy.At this moment, Wei Jingcun ran in from the door, sweating profusely and said, "Brother is here."

Seeing this, Wei Guohuai pretended to be angry and said: "Why are you so reckless, without any rules."

Wei Jingcun saw through Wei Guohuai's thoughts, and said with a smirk, "I know the eldest brother is here, so he came here in a hurry, and let him relax for a while, please don't punish the son, father."

Seeing the stitches, Wang said with a smile: "Master, this Yuan'er has always loved Cun'er. If you criticize him so harshly, are you going to break their brotherhood?"

Wei Guohuai smiled and said, "It's true, it's true."

Wei Jingyuan looked at Mrs. Wang, nodded and said, "Auntie, please take more rest in the future and take care of your body." The woman in the back house is pregnant, and Wei Jingyuan is inconvenient to say more, so I will stop.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said: "Yuan'er said yes, my aunt will definitely pay attention."

Wei Jingyuan nodded, then turned to look at Wei Guohuai: "Father, Yuaner has something to ask."

After Wei Jingyuan said this, Wei Guohuai remembered the matter of apprenticeship.Wei Guohuai returned to his usual unsmiling appearance, and said softly: "Recently, the affairs of the court have been busy, and your fifth uncle may be powerless."

Wei Jingyuan responded: "Father, Yuan'er has changed his mind, please tell Mr. Li that I want to worship him as a teacher."

Wang surreptitiously looked at Wei Guohuai, and saw that he raised the corners of his mouth, and said with a half-smile: "Although Mr. Li is the martial artist of His Highness the Third Highness, he wanted to take you as his apprentice early in the morning. You can try this matter. It's okay, after going to court tomorrow. , I asked him."

For some reason, Wei Jingyuan felt like he had been tricked by someone else, and the person who calculated him was his father.
