The sky is bright, hidden in the thin morning mist, and the crisp and melodious birdsong can be heard.

Tao Cheng saw the little servant lying on the stone table sleeping ignorantly, he smiled softly in his heart, guarding the little master sleeping outside the house, it seems that breakfast is even prepared, a bowl of stone pollen and two boxes of hibiscus cakes, this is not waiting What is the reward?

Tao Cheng approached, patted the boy on the shoulder, but there was no movement, so he smacked his head, "Du Liu, wake up, I've rewarded you with gold."

Du Liu was awakened by the pain on his forehead, his eyes were bleary, and when he saw the person in front of him, he said vaguely, "Master Tao, you are back."

Tao Cheng was stunned, "What?"

The boy scratched his head, stood up and looked into the room, "Didn't you pick up the young master last night? I kept watch until I fell asleep and didn't see you coming back."

Before he finished speaking, Tao Cheng turned around and ran to push open the door. The boy came back to his senses, his drowsiness receded all of a sudden, and his face was full of horror, and then he saw Tao Cheng returned with a serious face, "I spent all day yesterday. In the future, when did Qingmo disappear?"

Sitting down on the stone bench tremblingly, Du Liu tried his best to recall, "It was just getting dark, and around Xu time, I went to buy a space for stone pollen, and when I came back, no one was there."

Tao Cheng forced himself to calm down, "Think again, did he say where he was going yesterday?"

"No." The boy shook his head again and again, crying anxiously, "Young master has been staying in the courtyard, he just said that he is waiting to visit Mr. in the private school today." After speaking, he scolded himself in a low voice, "Why did I sleep so hard? How can I sleep..."

Suddenly startled, the boy stretched out his hand to grab Tao Cheng, with both hands hanging in the air, "My lord, I... When I came back, I met two boys from the Huanyiyuan on the road. I couldn’t figure out the way, and after I pointed them in the direction, one of them thanked me and gave me a small sachet, which smelled good to me, so I took it away..."

A sachet the size of half a palm, the servant fumbled it out from his belt. This time he didn't even dare to breathe, and threw it far away to the other side of the stone table, "Master, I, am I going to be... ..I shouldn't be sleeping like this..."

Tao Cheng put his hand on his forehead, his heart was beating wildly disturbed by the boy's suppressed cry, he asked angrily, "Do you recognize my horse?"

The boy replied, "Yes."

Tao Cheng waved him down, "Go to the stable and fetch him."

The boy wiped away his tears and ran away hastily.

Even if he doesn't want to admit it anymore, the first thing Tao Cheng thinks of is Second Grandma Qiao.

Tao Che was intoxicated last night, he was the one who helped Kang go back to the bed and settled down, and he was the first to explain to him, if he wanted to attack Qingmo, he wouldn't wait until now.

Although Master Tao was also looking for Qingmo, what he was looking for was Qingmo's disguised fortune teller. Could it be that his identity was exposed, and after thinking about what shameful thoughts he had said, he ordered people to do evil in a fit of anger?

He punched the stone table with his fist, no matter who that person was, he was still in the Tao Mansion, Tao Cheng gritted his teeth, the whole night passed, he didn't dare to think carefully about what Qingmo would experience, and at this time Where, it is even life or death, or if you can't live, you can't die.

With a bitter taste in his mouth, Tao Cheng jumped up and galloped halfway to meet the young man, who turned on his horse non-stop, tightened the reins and neighed, and galloped towards Tao Mansion.

Shuangjiu was crying, and she didn't stop drinking when she was full. She was coaxed and babbled by the nanny for a long time, but it didn't stop. Qiao Qing felt distressed. An Sheng eats."

Master Tao leaned over and stretched out his hand to touch Shuangjiubai ceramic face, his fingertips were caught by the round little hand, just as he smiled and wanted to say a few words of love, he heard a loud noise, "Boom-- -", the courtyard door almost collapsed, falling on the wall and crumbling.

Everyone in the courtyard was frightened, and Shuangjiu's crying that had just stopped for a while resounded through Tao's mansion, and the servant ran after Tao Cheng, hiding behind the sweet-scented osmanthus tree fearfully.

I saw Tao Cheng's chest heaving violently, as if he was suppressing the magma of anger in his heart, but his voice was as cold as his eyes. He stood under the steps and said, "Where is Qingmo!"

The unreasonable question made Master Tao ignore the shock of being frightened. He stood up and stared at Tao Cheng, "He made trouble early in the morning! Isn't he sent to Taizhou? Ask him what he is doing!"

Not Master Tao.

Tao Cheng didn't explain, but fixed his eyes on Second Grandma Qiao, and said again, "Where is Qingmo!"

Master Tao was puzzled, but seeing Tao Cheng's abnormality, his whole body tensed like a bow, even though he was very puzzled, he followed his gaze and looked at Qiao Qing, "Didn't that child be sent to the Taizhou Orchard a few months ago?" Is it?"

Qiao Qing was only frightened at the beginning. At this time, she coaxed Shuangjiu without raising her head, and said, "Yes, in Taizhou."

Nails sank into his palms, Tao Cheng clenched his fists to restrain his collapsed emotions, he strode up the steps, he couldn't stand a moment's delay, as long as he thought that Qingmo was in a place he didn't know, suffering a torment he couldn't imagine, He was about to go mad, and his flesh and blood were convulsing and trembling.

He grabbed one of Qiao Qing's wrists, and couldn't care less about restraining his strength. Under the terrified gazes of the servants and Master Tao, he asked forcefully, "Mother, where is Qingmo!"

Qiao Qing cried out in pain, her face flushed instantly and then quickly turned pale, "Are you going against the sky!"

Master Tao was furious, pointing at Tao Cheng and yelling, "You are so daring! Let go of your mother!"

Tao Cheng stared at Qiao Qing with his bloodshot eyes, his voice trembling uncontrollably, "Mother, where is he! Where did you order him to be taken! Tell me, I promise that he will never obstruct your eyes again in the future!"

The boys had already retreated outside the house, Master Tao was still yelling, he came forward to pull Tao Cheng, but he couldn't pull it a little bit, Qiao Qing's wrist bones were almost crushed with such ferocious force, the room was full of cursing again , it was crying again, and moaning in pain mixed together, making Tao Cheng extremely irritable and tearing his eyes.

When Tao Che heard the sound and rushed over, he saw such a chaotic scene, and he yelled, "Father! Mother!" Seeing that Tao Cheng was as ferocious as a beast seeking his life, he hurriedly stood in front of Qiao Qing, "Brother! Are you crazy!"

The wrist was rescued by Tao Che, Qiao Qing endured the severe pain and hugged Shuangjiu tightly, backed away again and again, her face was wet with tears, and she was a few steps away from Tao Cheng, trembling all over, being held in the arms of Master Tao to comfort her, she screamed She cried loudly, "Do you know what you are doing? Do you know? Mother is saving you!"

Tao Cheng pursed his lips tightly, the tense muscles on his cheeks showed that he was extremely patient, Tao Che stopped in front of him, "Brother! What's going on with you!"

Tao Cheng said softly, in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Qingmo is gone."

Tao Che was taken aback, seeing that Tao Cheng was about to take a step, he raised his hand to catch Tao Cheng without any time to think, "Brother!" Immediately after a click, his wrist was twisted and dislocated, he growled in pain, and the next moment he was hit on his chest again. With a heavy palm, a little bit of salty taste came up in his throat.

Qiao Qing screamed and watched Tao Che being knocked down on the ground, Master Tao's scolding turned into a long, shrill cry. Tao Cheng walked towards her with both hands empty, but those scarlet eyes seemed to be sharp and long. The knife went straight to her heart. She had never seen her child look like this. He described it as horrifying, like an evil spirit.

Qiao Qing's legs were almost weak. When Tao Cheng knelt down in front of her without warning, she suddenly let go of her tightly held breath. Master Tao's scolding and Shuangjiu's crying filled her ears again. She saw Tao Cheng kowtow obediently. , I heard his voice as if saying goodbye, "Mother, I am disloyal and filial, and I don't ask you to fulfill me, and I don't ask you to forgive me."

After a pause, he continued, "Resentment is sad, and worry is easy to become sick. It's better to forget me as an unfilial son."

Master Tao pointed at him and yelled in disbelief, "Fan Tian Nie Yi, have you lost your mind and gone crazy! What are you talking about!"

Tao Che also called him behind him, feeling as sad as having his limbs cut off, but Tao Cheng ignored him. He stood up and looked at Qiao Qing calmly with the last bit of calm. He still said the same words, "Mother, lightly." Where is Mo?"

Master Tao was so angry that he slapped Tao Cheng violently with his backhand, his cheeks were tilted, and the corner of his mouth was covered with a few strands of blood. Pain.

Qiao Qing burst into tears in his stubborn and pleading eyes, and hugged Shuangjiu tightly as if she couldn't rely on her. She shook her head again and again, "Mother is saving you! How can you let that lowly thing ruin you! Mother is saving you! "

Tao Cheng was on the verge of losing control, he took a step back, and said hoarsely, "Tell me where he is, and you will save me."

Qiao Qing took a step closer, "You will be punished by God! Don't be fooled by him, you will be..."

"Mother!" Tao Cheng supported the table, the veins on the back of his hands were bulging, and the muscles in his whole body were stretched to the limit, "I know, I knew who he was when I was 16. To hell, I'm going to be with him."

During the brief silence, only crying was heard, and suddenly there was another ding bang breaking the silence. It was Mr. Tao leaning against the low cabinet in panic, knocking over several pieces of porcelain.

Presumably Master Tao also figured it out a bit, Tao Cheng looked at him, his lips moved slightly, "Father."

Unable to tell whether it was horror or fury, Master Tao said, "That person..."

"It's Qingmo." Tao Cheng didn't hide anything, and simply revealed it together, "The fortune teller you ordered people to look for these days was also Qingmo in disguise."

Qiao Qing couldn't bother to ask anymore, she finally recalled Tao Cheng's words, and yelled madly, "Tao Che!"

Tao Che took back his wrist, swallowed a wry smile, remembering that he went to look for his brother in the small courtyard of the waterside pavilion, but was patted on the shoulder and told, "Our Tao Mansion is a farce." What.

Tao Che stood up clutching his heart, looked at Tao Cheng's back, his eyes were sour and powerless, and he murmured, "Mother, tell him."

Qiao Qing couldn't hear it, she just shouted, "Tao Che! Lock your brother back into the house!"

Tao Cheng was full of despair, closed his eyes tightly and then opened them again, no matter how hard he restrained his strength, Qiao Qing didn't even see how he moved, her arms were empty, Shuang Jiu's crying sound went away from her, falling on Tao Cheng In Cheng's arms.

"Where is Qingmo?" Tao Cheng stood on the other side of the dining table, his face was as dark as impermanence wearing a human skin mask, his eyes were brewing with murderous intent, until Qiao Qing couldn't stand anymore, and collapsed like soft mud at the table.

Tao Che saw his brother's hand protruding from the swaddle, which seemed to be able to sever Shuangjiu's neck with just two fingers. Where is it, tell brother."

Qiao Qing just cried, then waved Tao Che away with all her might, and chuckled a few more times, vomiting her heart soaked in resentment, "Dying to death amid men's ridicule, such a filthy and despicable person, do you still want it?"

Tao Che's heart trembled when he heard it, and he frowned and called out "Mother!" Fearing that Shuang Jiu's life would be lost, his eyes were red, and he looked at Tao Cheng pleadingly, "Brother..."

The pain caused his heart to convulse, Tao Cheng shook his body, reached out to pick up a teacup and crushed it fiercely, blood dripped from his palm, he said in a deep voice, "Yes, even if there is only a skeleton left, I want it."

After he finished speaking, he let go of his hand, and the broken teacup fell on the table with a crisp sound. The shock made Qiao Qing's heart tremble. She stared wide-eyed and watched Tao Cheng pinch a piece of broken porcelain and stick it on Shuangjiu's crying face. Going up, Tao Cheng said, "Mother, if you don't say anything, I'll draw one, and if you don't, I'll draw a second one. How can you bear a dilapidated face after Double Ninth?"

"Bastard!" Master Tao, who had finally recovered his language, was about to faint from anger again. He raised his chair and threw it at Tao Cheng, but was easily dodged, and when he was about to lift the table again, Tao Che rushed to hold him down. Turning around and yelling at Qiao Qing, "Mom! Tell him!"

Master Tao slammed the table loudly, turned his head and glared at Qiao Qing, "Say it!"

Tao Cheng still looked like a rakshasa with a cold face, but tears kept dripping from his eyes, his chest trembled in the next moment, and a pool of scarlet blood immediately emerged from the corner of his mouth. Said, "Don't mention me to Shuangjiu in the future."

With a movement of her finger, the baby's cry pierced her heart, Qiao Qing screamed silently, her fingernails clawed at the table in vain, Master Tao cursed repeatedly, pushed Tao Che away who was already in a daze, and rushed to Qiao Qing, He squeezed her cheek hard and forced her to raise her head, gritted her teeth and said, "Say it!"

Qiao Qing looked at Master Tao with disheveled hair, and her resentment finally paid off, "I threw you and Hua Ting's child into the military camp as prostitutes."

As soon as the words fell, Qiao Qing was slapped and her eyes went dark. It seemed that someone was calling her "mother" in surprise. Tao Cheng couldn't do it anymore. She fell dizzily on the wooden chair, It hurts, but also feels good.

Tao Cheng threw down the fragments, put the Double Nine on the table, turned around and just walked to the door when he staggered to the door frame. He bent down and vomited another mouthful of blood. He couldn't taste anything other than bitterness. He raised his hand to wipe it. He sighed, only thinking that the military camp on the outskirts of the city was about to start a massacre today.
