Sunny Vientiane

After explaining all kinds of trivial matters, large and small, Xin Heqing finally let Xin Yueming leave for Xinzhou.If it wasn't for his body not being able to adapt to excessive activities, I'm afraid he would also go to Xinzhou with him.Although he has recovered part of his strength now, he has been lying in bed for too long, and the doctor has instructed him to exercise less to avoid overwork.

Even if he didn't like Song Tingchuan, Xin Heqing couldn't refuse his help, so he didn't specifically protest that Song Tingchuan took care of him, half of the reason was because he was afraid that Xin Yueming would worry about him, and the other half was naturally because Song Tingchuan stalked him to be thick-skinned.As for revenge, he never wanted to take the responsibility on Xin Yueming.

In his heart, Xin Yueming was still that childish younger brother, hatred was too heavy for Xin Yueming, he was a young master who grew up in a greenhouse, sudden disasters were always violent, sooner or later he would be crushed.But when we met again, Xin Yueming's overly rational expression when he mentioned revenge, and the careful plan he set up made him a little confused.

The big boy who was still in high spirits and showing a simple smile in his memory had turned into a calm and calm man at this moment. He didn't know how many trials and hardships he didn't know.But to his relief, Xin Yueming made it through, not what he was worried about.

On the narrow path, the crisp sound of horseshoes falling on the stone surface startled a few cunning rabbits in the bushes, and they hopped back and forth before disappearing.Xin Yueming raised his whip, and while turning his head, he glanced at Jiang Shuihan, who was only half a body away, and recalled the previous scene.

He was about to pick a fast horse from the stable, but saw Jiang Shuihan following him, as if he wanted to pick a horse too.

But Jiang Shuihan didn't need to travel, so Xin Yueming couldn't help asking, "Xiaohan, do you want to pick a horse?"

"En." Jiang Shuihan picked out a bay red horse at a glance, stepped forward, touched the horse's head, and said, "I can't ride with you, it's so inconvenient."

Xin Yueming was stunned for a moment, and said in a daze, "But why are you with me?"

Before he finished speaking, Jiang Shuihan's smile that was still on the corner of his mouth disappeared suddenly, and even his clear eyes seemed to dim a bit, "You, don't you want me to follow?"

Before Xin Yueming could speak, he turned around as if preparing to leave, "Forget it, then you should be careful."

"No!" Xin Yueming moved faster than he thought, before he had time to think about Jiang Shuihan's intentions, he reached out to stop him, licked his face and said, "You misunderstood me."

Jiang Shuihan looked better, but he still asked, "Then do you still want to drive me away?"

Xin Yueming quickly replied, "No way! If you are willing to go with me, I wish for it!"

So before he could react, Xiao Han had already got on his horse and waited for him to act together, and when he wanted to say something, he had already lost the most suitable time.

Sighing secretly, Xin Yueming turned his attention back to the fork in the road ahead. It was only now that he realized that he cared about a person, and could really be sad or happy because of the other person.

This is Xin Yueming's second visit to Xinzhou, and only a month or two has passed between them. The stone at the boundary is still the same, and it has withstood the wind and sun but has not changed at all. The two bright red characters of Xinzhou are particularly conspicuous.Maybe it's because the purpose is different, maybe it's because the people around him are different, Xin Yueming doesn't have the depression and nervousness when he first came here, only calmness in his heart.

"I'm not familiar with this place, so I have to rely on you to guide me." Jiang Shuihan took the reins, stroked the mane on the horse's back, and cupped his hands, "It's all up to Mr. Wu Nian."

Xin Yueming has long been used to posturing, but this is the first time she has seen Jiang Shuihan like this, nodding her chin and pretending to think, before saying after a while, "Even though I've been to Xinzhou, I don't know where to find Meng Shidu. I'd better find Xiao Yuqing first." , if I'm not wrong, he's probably in the Chen family's residence."

When the two entered the city, they found that most of the city was decorated with white gauze. Walking along the road to the Chen Mansion, the atmosphere became more and more peaceful.Riding horses is not allowed in the city, Xin Yueming took the horse rope and asked a peddler by the side of the road, "Brother, which one in this city is holding a funeral?"

The peddler looked at Xin Yueming and Jiang Shuihan dressed like young masters from a rich family, and looked very strange, thinking about how to kill them.There was only a calculating light in his eyes, but Xin Yueming immediately saw through his thoughts.

Xin Yueming smiled faintly and pointed to the things on his stall, and said, "How much money do you earn a day, little brother?"

Not understanding why Xin Yueming asked this question, the peddler could only answer subconsciously, "Here, it's only a penny a day. Sometimes when the business is good, you can earn two pennies a day."

Xin Yueming smiled slightly, "That's not bad."

"Well, it's not bad."

The peddler was still wondering why Xin Yueming asked him such a question.

"You have a funeral in the past few days, and your business has decreased a lot."

"That's right." The peddler thought of the bleak business of the past few days, and subconsciously said with a sad face, "You see, I'm so close to the Chen Mansion, and no customers are willing to come to the door these few days. But this time, the old man of the Chen family died again. Although Young Master Chen chooses to keep the funeral secret and plans to keep it simple, how can we in Xinzhou City not be affected, and I will be affected even more."

The news was somewhat surprising, but Xin Yueming's expression remained unchanged, she nodded and said, "Thank you, brother."

After finishing speaking, regardless of the hawker's sudden change of expression, he turned and walked towards Jiang Shuihan who was waiting at the side.

"Chen Zhuangfu is dead, and now Chen Chuanli is in power." Xin Yueming said simply, "I really saw him right at the beginning."

"Dead?" Jiang Shuihan's attention was obviously on Chen Zhuangfu's death, "Why is there no news?"

There was a hint of interest in Xin Yueming's eyes, "This kid is quite capable, maybe it won't take a few years to destroy the Hehuan Sect's lair."

Seeing that Xin Yueming acquiesced that Chen Zhuangfu's death was caused by Chen Chuanli, Jiang Shuihan no longer entangled with it, "Then shall we go to Chen's Mansion?"

Xin Yueming nodded, "Let's meet Chen Chuanli first."

The two led their horses to the gate of the Chen Mansion, and saw that the door of the Chen Mansion was wide open, with long white curtains hanging high on both sides, and the attendants looked a little indifferent.Xin Yueming stepped forward to stop a young servant, and announced his name as Mr. Wu Nian, and the young servant immediately changed his respectful expression.

"My lord, please come with me." The young man said, "My young master has already ordered that if you come, you must not neglect."

The two of them followed the young man around the front hall, through the corridor, and came to Chen Chuanli's study.The boy asked the two to wait patiently outside the door, stepped forward and carefully knocked on the door, heard the word 'come in' inside, then gently pushed the door and entered, the wooden door closed with a creak, completely hiding everything in the house In fact, it is impossible for outsiders to check the situation inside.

From the moment he entered the door, he noticed that the atmosphere in the mansion was a bit strange, Jiang Shuihan frowned, and said softly, "I always feel something is wrong."

There was no trace on Xin Yueming's face, he stood quietly outside the door with downcast eyes, his breath was too light, as if he had merged with the trees behind him, after a while he replied, "Well, something is wrong. "

The tone was flat and close to no tone, but Jiang Shuihan inexplicably felt the impatience from the insipid atmosphere, "Xiao Yuqing, are you really here?"

"He shouldn't be here now." Xin Yueming said, "However, he must have discovered something."

"What can make him leave so quickly without passing the news to you?"

Xin Yueming's eyes became deep, and she chuckled softly, "Who knows if he did it on purpose, or if he forgot?"

While the two were talking, the servant who brought them into the mansion pushed open the door and came out with something hanging on his arm, which made people feel puzzled and nervous.It wasn't until he approached Xin Yueming and Jiang Shuihan that he could see clearly that they were two clean cloth towels, which should be used to cover his mouth and nose.

After receiving the cloth towel, Jiang Shuihan's heart jumped into his throat instantly, and he couldn't help but glance at Xin Yueming.And Xin Yueming obviously didn't expect that, a look of astonishment flashed in her eyes, but she still obediently covered her mouth and nose, and then walked in with the servant.

After entering the house, Jiang Shuihan realized that the place was filled with a decayed smell. It must have been without ventilation for a long time, and there were thick silk cloths hanging from the beams around the house, as if to resist the wind and cold outside the door.When the two of them entered the room, the servant quietly covered the door and put the bolt on it, then stepped forward, pulled the silk back, and led the two of them to continue walking towards the house.

There were quite a few people waiting on Chen Chuanli, another servant bowed to them, and led them to continue walking inward.This study is quite big, even though it is surrounded by silk cloth, it still looks a bit empty.

Walking to a screen, the servant cupped his hands at the two of them and said, "Master Wu Nian, my young master is behind this screen, please forgive me, my young master cannot meet face to face."

Xin Yueming vaguely saw Chen Chuanli sitting behind the screen, so he didn't bother to be polite, so he asked directly, "Chen Chuanli, are you poisoned?"

Hearing Xin Yueming's straightforward question, Chen Chuanli seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and then smiled softly. Then, his weak voice came from behind the screen, "Yes, I'm poisoned."

Ordinary people would think that they had tuberculosis when encountering such battles, but they did not expect Mr. Wu Nian to think so, let alone point it out bluntly.

He recognized Jiang Shuihan, and said softly, "It turned out to be Jiang Shaoxia, and I would like to thank Jiang Shaoxia for his help before, otherwise Chuanli might not be able to return to the Chen family safely."

"You're welcome." Jiang Shuihan said, "Mr. Chen, what kind of poison have you been poisoned by?"

"I don't know either." Chen Chuanli spoke with heavy panting, and he slowed down before continuing, "According to Mr. Xiao San, it may be that Mowen Zong Xu Jiuyan was stolen recently."

"Xu Jiuyan." Xin Yueming read the name faintly with downcast eyes, "How can you be related to Mo Wenzong everywhere?"

"Then your uncle." Jiang Shuihan thought for a while before asking, "Is it also because of this poison?"

Chen Chuanli nodded and said, "That's right, Uncle also died of the poison."

Xin Yueming asked, "Is there no antidote?"

"No." Chen Chuanli paused, and smiled wryly, "I can only rely on the Chen family's wealth to barely survive for a while."

"Xiao Yuqing, didn't you mention the antidote?"

"Mr. Xiao San." Chen Chuanli said calmly, "he won't come and sit with me for a while. I didn't have the poison at that time, but my uncle started to show symptoms. When he recognized that it was Xu Jiuyan's new asshole, he hurried left."

"Sure enough, it's his style." Xin Yueming pulled the corners of his mouth to show a mocking smile, and quickly explained to Chen Chuanli, "Xu Jiuyan never acts as a gangster without a cure. If you find him, you will be half sure."

"hope so."

After a moment of silence, Xin Yueming looked up at Chen Chuanli behind the screen, and asked in a deep voice, "Did Xiao Yuqing tell you anything before she left?"

Chen Chuanli shook his head and said, "That's not true, he just said that you would come to my place, so I specifically ordered the servant."

Jiang Shuihan turned his face to look at Xin Yueming. The heavy silk cloth could only let in a little sunlight. In the light and darkness, he could clearly see Xin Yueming's eyebrows and eyes, which were full of worry and fear, and he was very strange.But in the next blink of an eye, those worries and fears seemed to have never existed, and Xin Yueming was still indifferent, but in Jiang Shuihan's view, Xin Yueming seemed to be wearing a delicate mask, covering all the sights of searching, so he couldn't see anything wear.

"Is that so." Jiang Shuihan thought he was going to say goodbye, but Xin Yueming said in the blink of an eye, "Then do you know where Meng Shidu is?"

Chen Chuanli was startled, as if recalling who this person was, before answering after a while, "Meng Shidu. Mr. Wu Nian, are you talking about the prince of Marquis Wu'an, Meng Shidu?"

"Exactly."

"I am not familiar with this person, and I have never heard of him coming to Xinzhou."

"Then let me ask in another way, do you know the person who secretly contacted the five great families for King Qi?"

Chen Chuanli said calmly, "I just returned to my home not long ago, and these things are all done by my uncle, but the housekeeper should know, I'll ask him."

The young servant standing on one side of the screen had good eyesight, bowed and retreated outwards.

"Please forgive me, my study was remodeled in a hurry, and there are no extra tables and chairs for the two of you to rest."

Xin Yueming waved his hands and said, "That's not necessary, I won't be tired after a while."

Not long after, a young servant came in with a middle-aged man wearing the same mask as the scarf. Through the screen, he saluted Chen Chuanli and said, "Master."

Chen Chuanli nodded and said, "Housekeeper, I called you here to find out if Uncle has any contact with Meng Shidu."

The housekeeper glanced at Xin Yueming and Jiang Shuihan, who were both young, hesitantly did not speak.The last time the two of them came to Chen's house, one didn't go through the gate and wore a mask, and the other went through the gate without wearing a mask, but the situation was chaotic and the housekeeper couldn't notice.

"Just say it straight."

Then the housekeeper said, "It is true that there is a Mr. Meng who has friendship with the elder, but this old slave does not know whether this Mr. Meng is the Mr. Meng Shidu you are looking for."

"Then do you know how to contact this Mr. Meng?"

Seeing that it was Xin Yueming who asked, the housekeeper first asked Chen Chuanli what he meant, and then explained to him, "This old slave doesn't know that the elder never brought any man with him when he met Mr. Meng. He only knew that Mr. Meng Will stop at a passing restaurant."

"Thank you." Xin Yue Mingchao Chen Chuanli cupped his hands and said, "Young Master Chen, I will take my leave first."

After he finished speaking, he paused, as if he had thought carefully, and said, "If I can meet Xu Jiuyan, I will definitely bring him to see you."

"My lord speaks seriously." Chen Chuanli coughed lightly, and said, "Your lord saved my life before, so it's only right to help me."

Leaving Chen Chuanli's study room full of heavy and gloomy atmosphere, the not-so-clear sunlight and fresh air outside the house seemed precious.Jiang Shuihan involuntarily breathed a sigh of relief, deliberately kept a distance from the boy leading the way, and looked at Xin Yueming, who was still calm and terrifying beside him.

"Do you think Meng Shi will be in that inn?"

"It doesn't matter." Xin Yueming chuckled suddenly, as if he had thought of something in an instant, and the expression on his face was not so scary, "We just happened to go to stay."

He asked back, "Guess, will we meet Xiao Yuqing?"

"Xiao Yuqing? Didn't he leave?"

Xin Yueming shook her head and said softly, "I don't know either."

Seeing Jiang Shuihan's eyes were full of doubts, but she couldn't bear to ask him, Xin Yueming couldn't help it anymore, and took advantage of no one's attention, she stretched out her hand and scratched Jiang Shuihan's cheek.When he saw that the other party's ear was fulfilled with a touch of redness, he raised his eyebrows and smiled evilly, smiling very happily.

After laughing enough, he walked out of the gate of the Chen family, and he suddenly said, "I have the fragments of the Xin family in my hands, Lin Zhicheng must want it very much."

Jiang Shuihan's expression gradually became serious. That's right, if Lin Zhicheng really wanted the fragments and knew that Xin Yueming had been looking for Meng Shidu, he would probably let Meng Shidu himself appear in front of him.And Xiao Yuqing left without saying a word, probably because of the loss of the Xiao family's fragments.

But if that's the case, didn't Lin Zhicheng collect all the fragments except Xin's family?
