Sunny Vientiane

Chapter 44 True and False

After nightfall, the General's Mansion was quiet, the front yard was brightly lit, and the servants were careful not to make any noise while walking.Compared with this, the backyard looks darker and less popular.Everyone in the General's Mansion knew that no servants could enter the backyard at night, let alone light candles.

Everyone was wondering, the Yue family could receive all kinds of rewards from the royal family every year, why should they save this little candle money, but no one really dared to ask questions.Only Yue Zhenyu knew this reason.Mu Xi has long been used to this strange environment, but she sometimes guesses what Yue Zhenyu is thinking.

According to rumors, midnight is the time when the gate of ghosts opens, and the human world and the ghost world will communicate with each other.As long as she stays in the mansion, Mu Xi chooses to sit by the lake in a daze at this time. She always thinks, will the mother's soul come out to see her?But every year, she sat alone by the lake all night.

Mu Xi thought about whether it was because of guilt that Yue Zhenyu didn't let his servants light the candles in the backyard, so he didn't allow people to disturb the purity of his mother and those who died in vain.

If not, she really wanted to ask him, in your heart, can family members really be so casually discarded?

On the dim path, Jiang Shuihan walked ahead with a lantern, and behind him Xin Yueming carefully walked around the drooping willow leaves, and they came together in front of a small courtyard.

"What?" Jiang Shuihan turned his head and saw Xin Yue Mingchao took half a step back, he couldn't help laughing, "You're timid because of the closeness to the hometown?"

"No." Xin Yueming shook his head, trying to get rid of the strange thoughts in his heart, raised his head and walked into the courtyard door, "Go in."

As soon as he entered the door, he saw bright lights in the room, one person was sitting on the bed, and a person beside him was holding a medicine bowl and handing it to him.Seeing the man's face for the first time, Xin Yueming's eyes were sore. He just raised his foot and wanted to step forward, but when he saw the man's expression and the movements of getting close to the people around him, the strange feeling in his heart, like an inflated ball, swelled more and more. big.

Jiang Shuihan noticed that Xin Yueming's body stood still, but there was no change in expression on his face. He just followed behind Xin Yueming, his eyes downcast, quietly watching the changes.

Xin Yueming stabilized the emotions that surged up in his heart, and raised his hand in a salute, "Master Xin, next is Mr. Wu Nian, who is under Song Zongzhu. Hearing that Mr. Xin is coming, I am here to greet you."

'Xin Heqing' on the bed coughed, as if he was really not in good health, and nodded to Xin Yueming in return, "Thank you, Mr. Wu Nian."

The person beside him bowed to Xin Yueming and said, "Master Wu Nian, Mr. Xin is not in good health, and the hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

"You are?" Xin Yueming asked intentionally.

The man was stunned, and asked in confusion, "The villain was sent by the suzerain to take care of Mr. Xin. Didn't Mr. Wu Nian hear from the suzerain?"

"I haven't contacted the suzerain for a long time." Xin Yueming glanced at the surrounding environment, nodded and said, "In that case, I will leave first. Mr. Xin, goodbye."

"Young master, walk slowly."

Xin Yueming's footsteps were slow before, but when he walked under the dense shade of trees, he gradually accelerated his pace, faster and faster, faster and faster, until Jiang Shuihan had to practice lightness kung fu to barely catch up.Rushing to a deserted place in the backyard, Xin Yueming punched the wall hard, gritted her teeth, and turned around to lean against the wall after a while.

"That person is not Xin Heqing." Jiang Shuihan's tone was sure but cautious.

"It's not the elder brother." Xin Yueming took a deep breath and said, steadying his heartstrings, "I should have thought of it a long time ago. If it was really the elder brother, why would Song Tingchuan let the elder brother leave alone? With his turbulent temperament, he must personally escort him. .”

"Then the people around him are not Wuweizong people?"

"Even if I have never fully recognized the people of Wuweizong, at least they know that I never call myself my son in front of them." Xin Yueming said, "I just don't know why they pretend to be big brother."

Jiang Shuihan asked suspiciously, "Aren't you worried about your elder brother?"

"Big brother will be fine with Song Tingchuan here." Regarding Song Tingchuan, Xin Yueming had blind confidence, "He just makes people believe it."

Jiang Shuihan's eyes darkened, and he said, "Then, what are you going to do next?"

Xin Yueming turned his head and grinned at Jiang Shuihan. Under the clear moonlight, his face seemed to reflect light, "Next, I will tell you everything."

"Ah?" Jiang Shuihan was taken aback, he didn't expect Xin Yueming to remember this, "Aren't you in a hurry?"

There is no news about Wuweizong until now, and someone deliberately pretended to be Xin Heqing to get close to him. Why is he still thinking about such a trivial matter?

"Urgent. But right now, explaining clearly to you is the most important thing for me." Xin Yueming said seriously, "I don't want you to misunderstand because of my reservations."

When Xin Yueming and Jiang Shuihan left, the person serving 'Xin Heqing' followed to the gate of the courtyard, and he didn't return to the house until he saw the figures of the two disappeared from sight.At this time, there were two more figures in the room, and 'Xin Heqing' who was lying on the bed pretending to be sick had already got up and half-kneeled in front of them.

"Prince, princess."

Su Jinchen raised his hand to get the person in front of him to stand up, pulled He Qinghuan to sit aside, and asked, "How?"

"Master Wu Nian's reaction is normal, and Jiang Shuihan behind him is not unusual."

Su Jinchen picked up the teapot on the table sideways, and poured a cup for himself and He Qinghuan, with no change in emotion visible in his indifferent expression.

"He didn't doubt your identity?"

These words were spoken to the people behind 'Xin Heqing'.

"It doesn't appear to be."

With a worried look on He Qinghuan's face, he held Su Jinchen's hand with a little force, "What exactly do you want to do? Let me remind you, if Xiaoxi knows, she won't let you go."

"She won't." Su Jinchen smiled and took a sip of tea, ""I just want some industries of the myriad things and Wuweizong. She knows the depth and won't take risks for these. "

He Qinghuan knew that she couldn't talk to him, so she could only say, "Xiaoxi can't be bothered, if she has something to do, I'll never end with you."

Su Jinchen raised his eyebrows and remained silent. He couldn't speak clearly in front of outsiders.In this situation, he also foresees that if Mu Xi really wants to fight against him, he has a way to pick her out, so that Mu Xi will not cause any problems.

When Xin Yueming sorted out all these connections for Jiang Shuihan, it was already half daylight, but there was no trace of tiredness on the faces of the two of them.

"By the way, Qianqian doesn't seem to have returned to the house."

When Jiang Shuihan reminded her, Xin Yueming also reacted, stood up and said, "Although it is unlikely that something will happen in the general's mansion, but she has been outside for so long, it must be because Mu Xi doesn't want to go back to the house."

"She," Jiang Shuihan said with worry on his face, followed Xin Yueming's footsteps, "It's not because she quarreled with Mu Xi."

After all, Jiang Qianqian's temperament is not very good, and Mu Xi has a paralyzed face that is indifferent to cold or hot, maybe she has red eyes in a hurry.

"That's not true." Xin Yueming said as he walked, "Muxi is in a bad mood, and Qianqian won't get angry regardless of the situation."

As soon as the two walked out the door, they saw Jiang Qianqian walking towards them yawning.Jiang Qianqian squinted her eyes and dragged her heavy steps as if she could not go on the road. She almost tripped over the stones on the ground several times. Fortunately, her body was still agile and she stabilized herself in time without embarrassing herself in front of her two senior brothers.

"Eh?" Jiang Qianqian came closer and saw Jiang Shuihan and Xin Yueming looking at him strangely.In a hurry to go out, Xin Yueming even forgot to put on the mask. She pointed at his face and laughed and said, "Little senior brother, did your IQ drop when you stayed with the third senior brother? Why did you even forget to wear the mask?"

Xin Yueming didn't care to accuse her of being so loud that she wasn't afraid of being heard, so she patted Jiang Qianqian's finger and said, "Aren't you worried about you? It's you, why did you come back so late?"

Jiang Qianqian yawned and leaned against Xin Yueming as if she had no bones. She closed her eyes and muttered, "Isn't it because of your highness the princess? I was so sleepy after talking with her all night."

Jiang Shuihan lifted Jiang Qianqian away from Xin Yueming calmly, and said in a deep voice, "Make it clear, you and Mu Xi didn't fight, did you?"

"I helped my little brother persuade Her Highness the Princess all night, why don't you just lean on me." Jiang Qianqian rolled her lips and glared at Jiang Shuihan, and snorted, "I didn't fight, I was really trying to persuade people."

"Mu Xi is not someone who can't think about it, so it took you so long to persuade him?" Jiang Shuihan was still puzzled.

Mu Xi seems to be a calm person, Xin Yueming has to admit this, but once this kind of person is injured, his body will be covered with bruises, and if he wants to repair it, he can't heal overnight.

Jiang Qianqian lost her patience and said lazily, "I've been talking with her all night, no way."

Xin Yueming asked with a smile, "I think it's more likely that you guys fought all night. You forgot last time. I just didn't look at you for a while, and I bullied you until you cried."

"I really didn't." Jiang Qianqian was very angry, and simply pushed away the two people who were standing in front of him like two walls, "I'm going to bed."

Xin Yueming didn't stop her, and let her walk into the house, but said loudly to her back, "Don't run around when you wake up!"

Jiang Qianqian didn't bother to answer him, she just lazily raised her hand above her head and waved it, signaling that she knew.

Before he could react, Xin Yueming was dragged into the house by Jiang Shuihan.After confirming that Jiang Qianqian was too tired and urgently needed to catch up on sleep, rather than trying to be lazy and avoid their interrogation, Jiang Shuihan turned to look at Xin Yueming.

"How could you forget to wear a mask." Jiang Shuihan angrily picked up the mask and put it on Xin Yueming's face, "This is not Qingshan, nor Wuweizong, what if someone finds out?"

Xin Yueming showed helplessness on his face, took the mask and tied the knot carefully, and said, "Don't worry, even if someone sees it, they may not recognize me."

"Su Jinchen can almost guess it." Jiang Shuihan's eyes darkened, "I'm afraid that the Hehuan Sect will be against you."

Xin Yueming smiled softly, "Not only the Hehuan Sect, but His Royal Highness Qi Wang is also very likely to want to attack me."

"You mean." Jiang Shuihan was startled, and gritted his teeth, "Could it be that the imperial court is also interested in everything?"

"Everything is said to have everything, comparable to the national treasury." Xin Yueming narrowed his eyes, and a cold light flashed across his eyes, "No matter who it is, as long as it is ambitious, it will be greedy for this thing."

As if he was infected by him, Jiang Shuihan's voice gradually became colder, "It seems that King Qi left you behind, and Wuwei Zong's little property is just for him."

"Don't worry, he won't do anything to me right now." Xin Yueming shook his head and said, "At least he won't do anything until he finds out my identity."

"By the way, is there no news of Xiao Yuqing from Jiangling?"

Jiang Shui said coldly, "No, someone deliberately cut off our relationship with the outside world. Jiang Ling said that no matter what kind of news, it will never spread to Yanjing City."

"It seems that His Royal Highness King Qi wants to take advantage of Song Tingchuan to bring his eldest brother to Yanjing, and catch us all in one go."

Jiang Shuihan asked worriedly, "Do you want to make any preparations?"

At this time, I want to remind Song Tingchuan that even if the news can be sent out, it may be too late.

"No need." Xin Yueming smiled instead, "It's good that he has a good layout, but he also needs the cooperation of that one."

"You mean, the person from the five great families."

"Since he can make a plan to transfer the five great families to Lingshan, and change the original plan to attack Wuweizong, he will be able to compete with King Qi. How can such a person be willing to let everything fall into the hands of the court?" ? You know, the various expenses of the imperial court are really bottomless pits that can eat people without spitting out their bones."

"Can we just sit and wait?" Jiang Shuihan asked, "There are too many uncertainties at the moment, and we can't be sure that the development of things will turn to our side."

Xin Yueming couldn't help sighing, "To be honest, I don't even know what Wuweizong is doing right now. I've been in a passive situation since the moment I lost contact with Wuweizong on Yanjing Road."

When he said that, Jiang Shuihan couldn't help frowning, "Why don't we let Jiang Ling try again?"

"This will only make it appear that we are fighting trapped beasts." Xin Yueming seemed to think of something, his eyes lit up, "However, there is someone who can be used."

Hearing what he said, Jiang Shuihan instantly thought of someone, and the two said in unison, "Meng Shidu!"

"Why are you arguing?" Jiang Qianqian was woken up by the two of them and couldn't sleep anymore. Her messy hair was like a pile of straw. She didn't bother to pay attention to it, so she grabbed it and went to the table to pour herself a cup of tea. Gargle, "Aren't you letting people sleep?"

"Can't sleep?" Jiang Shuihan asked embarrassingly, "Otherwise, we'll go out for a walk, and you can go back to sleep?"

The two of them were indeed a little loud just now, and looking at Jiang Qianqian's slightly haggard face made people feel distressed.

Jiang Qianqian looked up at him excitedly, reached out and grabbed his wrist, and said, "I heard it clearly just now, are you going to find Meng Shidu?"

Jiang Shuihan was embarrassed by her stare, and nodded cautiously, "Yes, what do you want to do?"

"Let him invite me to dinner!" Jiang Qianqian was as excited as if he had taken a stimulant, "The taste of the General's Mansion is too bland, and I can't swallow just one meal. He knows where there is good food in Yanjing City , and a rich man, why don’t you hug your thighs quickly?”

Unexpectedly, Jiang Qianqian was so interested in it for the sake of eating, Jiang Shuihan was full of helplessness, "Don't be so outspoken when you go out, girl, pay attention to your image."

"I know, I know."

Sitting aside, Jiang Qianqian nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, obediently and smarter than a little sheep.For some reason, Mu Xi's indifferent face from last night suddenly appeared in my heart. She usually seemed to be invulnerable and invulnerable. Maybe the moonlight was too gentle, otherwise, how could she be so fragile last night.

She shook her head vigorously, shaking off the abnormal feeling in her heart, trying her best to smooth out the slight fluctuation, she must have made a mistake.

Xin Yueming noticed her strangeness, and asked with a smile, "Why, what did you think of?"

"Otherwise, why don't you take Mu Xi out together?"

Jiang Qianqian realized something was wrong as soon as she blurted out, not to mention, Jiang Shuihan and Xin Yueming stared at her closely with curious and probing eyes.

"Uh, pretend I didn't say it."

Xin Yueming glanced at Jiang Qianqian whose downcast eyes were tangled, and an imperceptible smile flashed in his eyes, "Then call Mu Xi."

"what?"

"You go." Xin Yueming sat at the table without moving, "You mentioned it, you go and call someone."

"Why?" Jiang Qianqian showed reluctance on her face, and coyly said, "Little senior brother, you know her well, so go call her."

"Then last night, who had a long talk with the princess?"

Facing Xin Yueming's constricted smile, Jiang Qianqian had no choice but to turn her attention to Jiang Shuihan for help. Unexpectedly, the third senior brother who always said good things about her was holding a teacup and pretending not to see it.

"Hmph! You can bully people casually when you are your husband and wife?"

Jiang Qianqian ran away after speaking, leaving only Jiang Shuihan with red ears, and Xin Yueming looked up at the sky in embarrassment.This stinky girl, what nonsense are you talking about.

The author has something to say:

Hmph, Song Tingchuan's super chicken super chicken baby Xin Heqing, how could it be possible for others to help him take care of his baby.
