Sunny Vientiane

As the sun set, the golden afterglow fell on the half-closed window sill. Jiang Shuihan hid his body in the shadow, looked at the back of Meng Shidu leaving downstairs, and asked, "What should I do next?"

"Wait." Xin Yueming lost his focus, and subconsciously rubbed the lid of the cup in his hand, "Although Meng Shidu didn't say a few truths, he probably really doesn't know where Lin Zhicheng is."

"Lin Zhicheng will definitely rush to Zemoyan after getting the fragmented scroll, but there is currently only Liu Fanyou, the suzerain of Mowen Sect."

"Are you worried that he will let Lin Zhicheng go?" Xin Yueming nodded, "He is indeed someone who would do such a thing."

Jiang Shuihan was only worried that Liu Fanyou would not be able to stop Lin Zhicheng, but he did not expect that Liu Fanyou would let Lin Zhicheng go on his own initiative. Hearing what Xin Yueming said, he couldn't help wondering, "Why?"

"Liu Fanyou doesn't care whoever is the emperor. Anyway, he is the right minister just to eat and eat with public food." Xin Yueming said, "However, Lin Zhicheng's desire to become emperor can only be dreamed of. .”

Jiang Shuihan immediately understood Xin Yueming's meaning, nodded and said, "The current peace in the world is not the time to change dynasties."

"But this is too strange. Lin Zhicheng is not stupid, and he can tell the situation clearly. How could he want to change the dynasty?"

"I also thought it was my delusion. But if he didn't want to be the emperor, why would he poison the families? Meng Shidu is so determined to work for him because Meng Shidu knows the Su family dynasty, and he can't be a knight. In the end The important thing is that the stone tablet excavated after the collapse of Zemoyan has pointed the cause of the collapse directly to the Su family."

"I didn't expect Lin Zhicheng to be so ambitious. Fortunately, Uncle Jiang has been vigilant. Only a few juniors in Jiang's family have symptoms."

While talking, Jiang Shuihan lost his voice.

It's not that he can't make a sound, it's just that he can't calm down in such a naked and explicit sight, not to mention that this is the sight of the person he has always cared about most in his heart.Xin Yueming sat opposite the window, half of the afterglow squeezed in from the half-opened window fell on the window sill, and half fell on Xin Yueming's face, making his eyes even brighter.

He suddenly said, "Xiaohan, let's go to Cangzhou."

Jiang Shuihan was taken aback, Cangzhou, Xin Yueming's former home was there.

Before he could savor the complex emotions that slowly surged up in his heart, Xin Yueming said to himself, "Before I was afraid of revealing my brother's whereabouts, Song Tingchuan didn't dare to take a look, so I had to find someone to quietly help build a small mourning hall. I'll take you back first, This way they will see you first, even if your speech is not as good as Song Tingchuan's, you will definitely be ahead of him."

Looking at the self-talking person in front of him who was thinking of him, Jiang Shuihan couldn't hold back the smile on his lips anymore, but he still said, "But if Lin Zhicheng doesn't get caught, I'm afraid they won't rest in peace."

"That's why you don't believe in Su Jinchen's ability?"

"But he is still haunted by people from Beimo." Halfway through the speech, Jiang Shuihan suddenly noticed a problem, "It turns out that Lin Zhicheng is cooperating with people from Beimo."

Xin Yueming nodded, "Su Jinchen has already seen through the other party's plan, so Bei Mo asked for a marriage, and he agreed to the marriage." He sighed, and said, "Even if the marriage partner is the only descendant of General Yue."

"The next step is to wait for this prince to slowly close the net." Xin Yueming narrowed his eyes and smiled at Jiang Shuihan, "Lin Zhicheng will definitely not be able to get rid of King Qi's tricks. As for the 24th Bridge, why should a bereaved dog be afraid?"

After finding Wuweizong's contact point in Xinzhou, Xin Yueming simply reported that he was safe, and sent it to Xin Heqing with a carrier pigeon.The two immediately set off to the ruins of Xinjiazhuang in Cangzhou.

Xin Yueming always thought that the tears from earlier had been shed, and he should have forgotten the scenery in his memory.But the scenery along the way is so familiar that it cannot be more familiar, just like the big rock outside the gate of Xinzhou City, without any sign of wind and rain. He is still the naughty and bright boy who just returned from learning martial arts from the Xiaoyao School.

But the familiar smiling faces at home turned into cold and unfamiliar tablets. Even though I was used to such scenes in the ancestral hall of the master of the Xiaoyao School, the wooden tablets were filled with my familiar names.That feeling is completely different.

He always thought that he was indifferent, but after learning that everyone had died, he felt afraid of being alone without a backing.But when he really faced these tablets, he really understood a fact, it turned out that everyone is really dead.

Until now, he has truly felt the distance between life and death. Even if he fell into the abyss before, he just felt the fear of dying, not the powerlessness that cannot be touched by the boundary between life and death.

In fact, it is very close, but it is also very far away.

Jiang Shuihan followed Xin Yueming into the mourning hall and remained silent all the time. Seeing Xin Yueming's lonely back kneeling on the cold ground, motionless, his heart was inexplicably tightened, hurt, and he had the illusion of suffocation.

Gently walked up to Xin Yueming and knelt down. He mustered up his courage, but he didn't dare to disturb his soul. He could only say softly, "Uncle Xin, Aunt Xin, please forgive me for coming here uninvited."

Xin Yueming's thoughts were interrupted by him, and she couldn't help turning her face to look at him, she wanted to tease him for a while, but was shocked by the seriousness in his eyes, and immediately forgot those nonsense words.

"Uncle and aunt really taught a good son, he is worthy of your pride. However, you should be very angry, I abducted your son."

Jiang Shuihan's ears turned red, and he didn't notice that the people around him were already looking at him and started laughing. He still said seriously, "But I don't regret it, and I won't give up. The luckiest thing in my life is being rescued by Xin Yueming. Brought to the mountain. Because of his actions, not only saved my life, but also saved my life."

Xin Yueming's smile faded, and her eyes became serious.

"At that time, I had been wandering between towns and cities for four years, and my parents had also left me for four full years."

"At that time, I experienced all kinds of people and things, but none of them had sincerity. The first time I met my little senior brother, I knew that he was not that kind of person. Because his eyes were not cloudy at all. .”

"If it wasn't for him, even if I survived, I would despair of this world, and even degenerate into the kind of person I detested the most."

After Jiang Shuihan lowered his head and kowtowed three times piously and solemnly, Xin Yueming reached out and touched Jiang Shuihan's head, and said in a sympathetic tone, "I will take care of you in the future."

This tone immediately stuffed Jiang Shuihan's remaining touching words into his belly, even the shells and dregs. He really couldn't keep his face and continue to show his true feelings in the eyes of Xin Yueming.

"By the way, your parents, what's going on?"

Jiang Shuihan was silent for a moment, "I don't know, I've been checking for the past few years, and it seems to have something to do with the Xiao family."

Xin Yueming's eyes darkened, "Did the Xiao family do something?"

"That's not true." Jiang Shuihan shook his head, "However, my parents' origins may have something to do with the Xiao family."

As he said that, he turned to look at Xin Yueming, "Actually, I've always wanted to tell you that during the years I was looking for you, I secretly set up an organization. Unfortunately, it's not as good as Wuweizong, and I can't help you at all."

Xin Yueming smiled slightly, "No matter what the Wuwei Sect has been accumulated for decades, you are already very powerful."

"You don't blame me?"

"Why should I blame you?" Xin Yueming's eyes turned from sly to ambiguous as he said, "If you really feel ashamed of me, then make it up."

Jiang Shuihan was dumbfounded, when did he become ashamed of him?It's just that Xin Yueming's eyes caught him so distracted that he even forgot his rebuttal for a while.

Before Jiang Shuihan could react, Xin Yueming turned around and said seriously to the tablet in front of him, "Father, mother, this is the person I want to spend the rest of my life with, and I specially brought it here to show you. You always say that I am self-willed and can't take care of myself." , worried about my future life, after meeting him, I should feel at ease."

Jiang Shuihan almost bit off his tongue to turn around, but because of Xin Yueming's eyes, he forgot that they were in the ancestral hall, facing the memorial tablets of the Xin family!

"As for my brother." Xin Yueming couldn't help sighing when she thought of the evildoer who kept chattering around her elder brother, "Even if he likes girls, he can't make a difference for our family. Anyway, there is that evildoer, he Don't even think about finding a wife in your life. But don't worry, I will definitely find a son to inherit our family's incense."

Listening to Xin Yueming's nagging all afternoon, Jiang Shuihan accompanied Xin Yueming to stay quietly in the ancestral hall for a whole afternoon, until before leaving, they kowtowed respectfully to the tablet three times together.

When the two walked out of the ancestral hall, half of the sky was covered with cooking smoke, and occasionally a few birds flew by. The long country road was quiet and warm, like a beautiful picture scroll.Song Tingchuan purposely built the Xin Family Ancestral Hall near a remote village in order to avoid people's eyes and worried that there would be no one to worship and clean it for a long time.

Xin Yueming and Jiang Shuihan found a hunting house and borrowed a room for accommodation. At this moment, the hunter happened to hunt a few pheasants and came home. When they ran into them, they greeted them warmly.

"What do the two young masters think of the surrounding mountains and rivers?"

The reason Xin Yueming stayed at the beginning was to play in the nearby mountains and rivers. The people in the mountains are simple, and no one in the village would have thought that this young man had anything to do with the mourning hall not far outside the village.

"It's pretty good." Xin Yueming replied with a smile, "It's better to be in the countryside. It's not like the city where there are too many people and it's very troublesome."

"Since the young master thinks this is good, then stay a few more days."

In the small village, there are few people from outside the village throughout the year. Xin Yueming and Jiang Shuihan are handsome and extravagant, obviously they have seen those in the city like the villagers, wearing silk and satin but smelling like copper. Money people are completely different.

The reason why he called the two young masters was because all the noble people in the city called them young masters.Jiang Shuihan deliberately corrected him several times, but he couldn't stop him from always forgetting, and everyone in the village yelled after him, which made Jiang Shuihan very entangled.Xin Yueming, on the other hand, was probably used to being called out since she was a child, so she didn't feel embarrassed at all.

Not only the Orion, but the villagers are also very enthusiastic, and they often send some things over for fear that the two of them will not be used to living together.Xin Yueming has always been good at talking, and the elders, aunts, uncles, aunts, and girls in the village are all delighted by him. After staying for a few days, he has become a big celebrity in the village, and everyone likes to look for him for everything.

For example, the family wants to buy some seeds but doesn’t know what to plant. For example, the family wants to hire a long-term laborer to help harvest the rice but doesn’t know how to calculate the wages.

In short, in the past few days in the village, Xin Yueming has never been idle. He is as busy as when he first arrived in Wuweizong, but he feels very fulfilled.

Until one day, a snow-white carrier pigeon flew into the peaceful mountain village.

Jiang Shuihan, who was helping the Orion to hang bacon in the courtyard, was the first to spot the familiar pigeon, but he was not in a hurry to hide the pigeon. At this time, Xin Yueming was helping to calculate this year's harvest in some villager's yard, and he still had to pass the time. It will take some time to come back.

In fact, Jiang Shuihan's first reaction was that he was wondering whether to give this little thing as a wild pigeon to Orion, and he happened to cook pigeon soup for dinner. It's a pity that Orion should not confuse domestic pigeons with wild pigeons after staying in the mountains for so many years.In the past few days in the mountain village, Jiang Shuihan never thought that he could be so peaceful. There are too many peaceful days, so he doesn't want to go back to that kind of chaos.

The white pigeon, who didn't know that he had escaped, lowered his head and combed his hair. It looked soft and deceitful. Jiang Shuihan held the pigeon and forgot to regain his senses. It wasn't until the little thing got angry that Jiang Shuihan realized the fate of underestimating birds.Fortunately, he hid quickly, otherwise he would definitely be scratched by this little thing.

Xin Yueming returned home refreshed, only to find that Jiang Shuihan pointed at the black face of the pigeon with two pigeon feathers on his head and said, "Hey, there are pigeons."

Xin Yueming, who is well versed in the habits of Song Zongzhu's pigeons, held back a smile, approached the pigeons and picked up the other's wings, and stared at a pair of little black beans with big eyes amidst Jiang Shuihan's reminder.

Jiang Shuihan didn't know what to say for a while to express his feelings.

Under the attack of Xin Yueming's big eyes, the pigeon, which drew its paws and fluttered desperately, finally gave up resistance, lowered its noble head, raised its noble little paws, and exposed the note hidden in the thick fluff on its belly.

Taking a casual glance, Xin Yueming threw the note and the pigeon in the corner, "Chen Chuanli is dead."

Although this was an accident, it was also reasonable. Jiang Shuihan was not surprised, "Is there nothing Xu Jiuyan can do?"

"It's not impossible."

Xin Yueming took the time to stare and pretended to be a dead body, pretending to be half ready to give up, raised a foot to escape the pigeon, the little thing quickly retracted the outstretched leg, and continued to pretend to be dead.

"Xu Jiuyan didn't go at all, and Mrs. Nishang and Yediexian are also confirmed dead."

Jiang Shuihan asked suspiciously, "Who did it?"

"I don't know, but Mrs. Nishang and Yediexian have only seen Lin Zhicheng. Besides Lin Zhicheng, there are also many people who want them to die."

"So, there is no one in the Chen family."

"No, there should be another one." Xin Yueming said, "Chen Zhuangfu has a son who was born in a concubine. He was born only two years ago, but he is a baby. I don't know if he was silenced."

To Xin Yueming, it was just an insignificant matter, but the five great families had accidents one after another, Xin Heqing was worried about his safety, and specially asked Song Tingchuan to contact him and tell him to go back early.Naturally, Xin Yueming and Jiang Shuihan would not disobey Xin Heqing's words, they packed up and prepared to leave the mountain village.

Returning from Cangzhou, he happened to pass through Xinzhou, but Xin Yueming felt that he didn't have a deep friendship with Chen Chuanli, and if there was a funeral, it might take a while, so he didn't go to the city at all, and found a private house in the suburbs with Jiang Shuihan.

It's just that Xin Yueming didn't expect that an acquaintance would block the way when staying in the suburbs of Xinzhou, and this acquaintance was holding a young child in his arms to block the way.

Xin Yueming looked at the manager of the Chen family who was prostrating at his feet, and glanced helplessly at the livid young boy in his arms, "Manager Chen, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm not a miracle doctor. I can't save the young master of the Chen family at all." .”

Manager Chen was unmoved, and still insisted, "The young master has always believed in Master Wu Nian, and before he died, he specifically entrusted this old slave to hand over the young master to Master Wu Nian."

"Boss Chen, the young master has been poisoned, there is really nothing you can do to ask us." Jiang Shuihan persuaded from the side, "Xu Jiuyan is haunted, and he will not be found for a while."

"The young master hopes that the young master will be handed over to the young master, not only because of poisoning, but now the Chen family is in chaos, and the divisions are coming to fight for power. There is only the young master. If they want to attack, the young master will not be able to hide." .”

"Young Master Wu Nian." Mr. Chen's breath was a little unstable, but he still insisted on looking at Xin Yueming and said, "The Chen family cannot have no descendants, but the young master also said that if the young master is willing to take in the young master, he can even change his surname."

Xin Yueming had to admit that Chen Chuanli understood him very well, and he was almost willing to agree when he heard this sentence. Unfortunately, the child was already deeply poisoned, and it was Xu Jiuyan's poison, so there was basically no cure.

Manager Chen staggered and fell to the ground, lifeless, but he still remembered to hug the young master tightly.Xin Yueming couldn't pretend any longer, jumped up from the couch, and squatted on the side of the butler with Jiang Shuihan, feeling for the pulse, but there was no sign of beating.

"Looks like Hua Gong Palm, 24 bridges."

Jiang Shuihan looked at the toddler sleeping peacefully in the butler's arms, "Then this child."

Like Chen Chuanli, the young master of the Chen family was poisoned by the same poison. Luckily, someone touched his big acupoints all over his body, and there was a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to support him. Otherwise, he might have died along with his cousin.

Xin Yueming bowed her head as if resigned to her fate, "What else can I do? Treat it if you can."

Jiang Shuihan still had questions, but when he saw the tiredness in Xin Yueming's eyes, he lost the thought of asking.

The night was getting dark, and the crescent moon was hanging in the night sky. The two of them couldn't rest for a cup of tea, so they took a two or three-year-old child and set off on the road again, braving the night and leaving quickly.
