Byron's Blade

When leaving General Dongluo's mansion, the sky was not yet bright, and General He Yun and the housekeeper in the mansion came to see him off in person, shook hands with the hermit and said something in a low voice.Mu Li and the others were busy loading all the luggage into the car, and they stood far away, so they didn't hear clearly.Not long after, the hermit bid farewell to General He Yun and came to the side of the car, and everyone got into the car together, ready to leave.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Mu Li held the steering wheel, looked at the group of people who were seeing off at the general's mansion, but did not see He Yingning.She couldn't help sighing, started the car, and drove out of the general's mansion slowly.

There were seven people when they came, and six people when they left. Mo Kexin, who was originally sitting in Qiu Zheng's car, merged into Mu Li and the others' car, so that only she and Lin Zhao were left in Qiu Zheng's car.What the hermit meant was that Qiu Zheng and Lin Zhao didn't have to follow them on the next trip to Jiang's mansion, and went back to the headquarters in advance to monitor the progress of the expedition preparations, so that the hermits could start as soon as they returned.

The Mo family and the Jiang family were related by marriage decades ago. The old lady of the Jiang family who passed away just two years ago was the daughter of the Mo family. Great aunt.And Mo Kexin, as the heir of the Mo family, went to visit on behalf of the Mo family this time, which was originally decided.Therefore, even though she was still sick, she still boarded the car to Jiang's house.

On the back seat, the hermit sat side by side with Mo Kexin.Mo Kexin was wrapped in a blanket, leaning against the pillow, looking tired and not fully recovered from her illness.The hermit put his arms around his chest, lowered his head, and closed his eyes to rest.Lan Ni got into the passenger seat, and her eyes drifted to the rearview mirror from time to time to see Mo Kexin's condition.

Mu Li concentrated on driving, and the road more than 300 kilometers after leaving Fengsui Gate was the same.It was not until the central part of the city of adventurers that the two cars parted ways.Qiu Zheng's car continued south and returned to Chudu.Mu Li's car turned to head eastward, and its destination was the extreme east of the Federation—the Liantai Region.

Liantai is the largest sea port in the Far East of the Federation, where offshore transportation and trade are prosperous. At the same time, it is also the mouth of the Yangtze River, and it shoulders the leading responsibility of inland water transportation.Human beings have lost the ability to go to the ocean, and can no longer reproduce the age of great exploration, but it is still possible to trade between coastal areas.For many years, the mutated species living in the offshore have been hunted and killed by humans, the threat has basically disappeared, and the safety of ships has been guaranteed.Even if there are occasionally a few mutant creatures with blind eyes mixed in, they are not a threat.

Therefore, although Liantai is also a border area of ​​the Federation, its level of prosperity is comparable to that of the big cities in the inland center.The land here is fertile, the water and grass are rich, and the culture is beautiful. Over the years, it has attracted many wealthy businessmen to settle here.Among them, I have to mention the Jiang family, a great hermit family in the far east who "Wen Ke An Bang, Wu Neng Ding Guo".

It was already noon the next day when they entered the city gate of Liantai District. Because of taking care of Mo Kexin's health, they had a long rest on the way the day before and stayed overnight on the way.By noon today, Mo Kexin looked much better.

Even so, for Mu Li, the atmosphere in the car on this trip to Jiang's house was not uncommon.Lan Ni is always in a daze, and she can't hear Mu Li talking to her. This situation has lasted for several days.Mo Kexin may be sick, and she is very silent, but Mu Li can feel a strong worry from her body. What is she worrying about makes Mu Li very puzzled.

The strangest thing is the hermit, the leader of the Assassin, who has always behaved well and calmly.But the closer she got to the lotus platform, the more Mu Li felt the sadness and nostalgia lingering in her body became heavier.In addition, there seems to be vague fear and weak expectations.

However, this is all Mu Li's own guess. She thinks that maybe she is too sensitive and thinks too much.It's just that since she had an inexplicable fever, illness and even fainted that day in General Dongluo's mansion, she felt that something was really wrong with her brain.There are some things that are about to come out, and they turn around a thousand times, but I just can't remember what it is.But she is not a fool, if she can't think of it, she will deduce it from the side.The only secret that Lanny didn't want to tell her should be the thing that bothered her the most.The hermit knows this secret, Mo Kexin knows it, they all know it, but only she doesn't know it.Mu Li didn't blame them for their concealment all the time. She understood that this issue was too taboo. Once it was touched, a bad thing would be a problem in the original cognition, which might cause mental trauma.

who is she?Is she really Mu Li who traveled from the 21st century to the doomsday world in the future?Or, the so-called 21st century is just a big dream, and she has never lived in such an era.

Zhuang Zhou dreamed of a butterfly, a butterfly dreamed of Zhuang Zhou, who is right and who is wrong, it is confusing.

Assuming that she is indeed Mu Li who has traveled to the future in the 21st century, then all the signs that do not conform to common sense, such as the ability to learn languages ​​without learning, such as subconsciously making small movements of the original owner, can only be explained as residual in the brain. The reflection phenomenon was inherited by her in time.

And assuming that she has never lived in the 21st century, it was all a dream, then how did such a real and delicate world be created in her mind so as to confuse her memory?She didn't understand, it couldn't be explained.

But now, it seems that my memories from the 21st century have also begun to be confused, and the things that should be remembered have been forgotten. The faces of the most unforgettable people, Aunt Pei and Yaya, have also been replaced by people around me now. I can't even remember the original appearance.I don’t remember where is the main entrance and where is the staircase in the courtyard where I lived since I was a child. Instead, it was replaced by a strange and magnificent old house.The adoptive father's figure became more and more blurred, and he couldn't remember clearly what he said to teach her.I always vaguely feel that there is a gentle female voice talking to her, comforting her and telling her not to be afraid.Encourage her, tell her she is the best.

Who moved her brain?Who will tell her what is true and what is false?What on earth is she supposed to believe?Mu Li squeezed the steering wheel tightly, frowned and stared, feeling a little hard to breathe.

"Ali..." Lanny called her out of the blue, she subconsciously stepped on the brakes, the car suddenly stopped, and Mo Kexin, who had been sleeping lightly on the back seat, was caught off guard and hit the back of the passenger seat On the ground, the impact was not light, and even Lan Ni shook.Lanny had predicted it beforehand, and she was holding the handle above her head.The reason she called out to Mu Li was also because she noticed something was wrong with Mu Li's mood, and she wasn't paying attention to the road conditions at all.The hermit reacted quickly, supporting the back of the driver's seat with his arms, so that he would not be too embarrassed.

Mu Li's face was a little pale, and he looked around, and found that he had parked his car in the middle of the road, and a car behind her also slammed on the brakes, almost hitting her, and the driver was yelling and cursing angrily.

Mu Li hastily released the brake and continued to drive forward, then heard the hermit say:

"Turn right after the intersection ahead and pull over."

"Boss, I..." Mu Li wanted to explain something.

"You're tired too. You don't know the way to Jiang's house, so let me drive it." The hermit smiled and patted her shoulder, saying gently.

Mu Li was embarrassed, she pulled over the car as she said, then got out of the car, and exchanged with the hermit.This time, Lan Ni didn't move, she watched Mu Li and Mo Kexin sitting together, and didn't say anything.

When Mu Li sat on the back seat, he apologized to Mo Kexin beside him in a low voice:

"Sorry, didn't hit somewhere?"

Mo Ke smiled heartily: "It's okay, it's just that your way of waking people up is quite special. It's just about time for me to get up and fix my appearance, put on makeup, and get ready to meet people."

She was right, Jiang's house was not far from here, the car drove forward and entered the Long Neck Road, and then went up the mountain.This is a small high hill in Liantai City, with an altitude of only about [-] meters, just adjacent to the estuary of the Yangtze River where the waves are rolling.And this entire mountain, even the land and vegetation, is the Jiang family's private territory.Just now when their car was driving into Longneck Road, they passed a security gate, and a security guard asked them why they were here. In fact, the security guard was the Jiang family's private guard.

The car drove for a period of time on the winding mountain road, about halfway up the mountain, and soon saw the gate of Jiang's mansion.

In ancient times, there were towers outside the main entrance of the big families, which symbolized the nobility of the family and the majesty of the nobles of the family.Whether it is the Gaia General's Mansion (Mo's) and Dongluo's General's Mansion (He's) that I have been to before, the gates are quite spectacular.However, the gate of the Jiang family was not visible, and they drove all the way along the outer wall until they reached the front door of the main gate, but there was no gate.

There is no gate, no rank, after all, it is a big family hidden in the world, and it really picked itself clean.

The butler of the Jiang family had received the news a long time ago and waited at the main entrance with his servants.When Mu Li and the others' car arrived, they opened the gate and guided the car inside.Then the housekeeper and servants boarded a battery car together, leading the way, and the hermit drove behind.

Mu Li looked around, and after entering the first gate, there was a lush approach road, with vegetation on both sides, and no buildings could be seen yet.At the end of the approach road, the vegetation disappeared, and the second inner door could gradually be seen.On the left and right sides of the second inner door, there is a spacious open-air parking lot.However, the butler did not ask them to park the car here, but directly drove into the inner door.

Entering the inner door, one can immediately see the main building of the entire Jiang family mansion.The main hall is majestic, with carved railings and painted buildings, behind which there are multiple eaves and buildings. The most eye-catching thing is a towering pavilion in the distance.

The car turned around and turned to the right, started to go downhill, and soon saw the Jiang family's private garage.No need to look too much, it must be full of nice cars and luxury cars.After Mu Li and the others parked the car, they got out of the car, and the housekeeper guided them to meet the master first.The servants will unload the luggage on the car and transport it to the guest room.

The butler is an old man in his 60s, with a beard on his lips, and although his temple hair is a little gray, he looks hale and hearty.Wearing a revised Tang suit, he is tall and tall, but he doesn't put pressure on anyone, and he has a kind face and kind eyes.

The hermit greeted him: "Uncle Zheng, I'm sorry to trouble you."

The housekeeper looked at the hermit docilely, and then turned to look at Mu Li standing behind the hermit, who was looking at the surrounding buildings with ecstasy, his old eyes were a little moist.He bowed and said:

"Guests, come with me."

Then he turned around to lead the way, raised his hand without any trace, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, several people entered the side hall first, where the master was waiting.Waiting for Mu Li to step into the side hall, he scanned the situation in the hall.An imposing middle-aged man sat on the main seat, and a noble lady sat on the other side of her.The first guest seat under the man was empty, and the second and third seats were a beautiful woman and a girl who looked no more than thirteen or fourteen years old.

Not far away, there was a woman in a general's uniform, leaning on a cane, carefully appreciating the blue and white porcelain vases on the flower stand.I heard the housekeeper Lao Zheng report:

"Assassins have brought you here."

Before the master could respond, the woman in the general's uniform immediately turned her head, raised her cane, and walked quickly towards the door.Laughing while walking:

"Hahaha, let me wait!"

Immediately, she actually hugged the hermit who was walking in the forefront warmly, and said:

"Ah Xin, don't come here without any problems!"
