Xie Chenyan recognized that Shen Menghan was the leader of the Demon Cult, and there was no doubt that Daoyin Pavilion was the main altar of the Demon Cult. No matter how Shen Menghan explained it, it was useless. He couldn't see the emperor on weekdays, so he simply closed his mouth to save some energy and let it go. Xie Chenyan made up his own mind.

The further they went south, the thicker the fog. They set off in the morning, and it was already afternoon when they arrived at Baixia Town. The autumn wind was clear and the fog had not cleared.

It really is cloudy and foggy.

Shen Menghan directly went back to the room to rest, called Xie Chenyan over, tied a jade pendant around his waist with his own hands, and said: "Go around by yourself, don't go out of Baixia Town, if someone questions you, shout at you or ask for help." With you, you will take out this jade pendant and show him."

His birthday is just around the corner, and he still has a lot of things to do. Xie Chenyan has a childlike heart, and he doesn't have to hold him back when he returns to his own place.

Xie Chenyan caressed the jade pendant carefully, thinking in his heart that the gift from Brother Menghan should not be taken anyway, so he responded: "Okay!"

Shen Menghan showed a smile, patted his waist and said: "Go."

Xie Chenyan walked away happily, Zhou Qian looked at his back and disapproved: "If you really want to take him by your side and control him, you shouldn't pamper him like this."

Shen Menghan said: "Extreme things must be reversed. In the hidden pavilion, he won't cause troubles. It's better to make him more comfortable."

Xie Chenyan was imprisoned here, so why wasn't he imprisoned here?

He took his freedom, and everything else can be compensated to him.

Zhou Qian could not bear it, but still hardened his heart: "Young master, he is only 16 years old, can you really control him for the rest of his life?"

Shen Menghan turned sideways, stared at Zhou Qian for a while, and then said: "I will deal with Xie Chenyan before I die."

Zhou Qian avoided his gaze.

Shen Menghan said softly: "So, when I am still alive, I hope that Mr. treats him better, and I ask everyone in the cabinet to treat him better."

Shen Menghan didn't want to talk about Xie Chenyan any more, so Zhou Qian started talking about the business again: "I checked the ugly cards in Changruling, Zhaoyuan Army under King Su, Mingtao Army under King An, Zhengxi The general has an ugly character battalion under his command."

This is their territory, there are no eyes and ears to stare at them, and they can speak casually.

Shen Menghan let out a "hmm".

Zhou Qian continued: "As for the spider silk and silver thread, the Feiyao Sect used to have such a kung fu, and it is said to come from the southwest area."

Shen Menghan nodded slightly, expressing that he knew.

Zhou Qian couldn't help asking: "My lord, what is the map of mountains and rivers?"

Shen Menghan said: "I made it up casually."

Zhou Qian clenched the teacup in his hand.

Shen Menghan said in a calm voice: "I thought I was going to die, so I can't just send my death away for nothing, right?"

Zhou Qian couldn't bear it, threw the cup on the ground viciously, and shouted: "Nonsense!"

Shen Menghan said with a smile: "Who knew that meeting Xiaoyan, it was a blessing in disguise."

Zhou Qian said coldly: "This is called calamity followed by calamity."

Shen Menghan said seriously: "Mr. Zhou, it was a desperate situation that day, and His Majesty would not allow me to move the forces planted in the Northwest. I said that I have a map of mountains and rivers that can break through Beizhao, so His Majesty might be tempted and would be willing to save me. .”

Zhou Qian's expression was complicated, and he said in a low voice: "He doesn't believe in these things at all, and he doesn't care about your life or death at all. It should be King Su or King An who did it. What he wants is to take your life and the map of mountains and rivers that doesn't exist at all."

Shen Menghan said softly, "I survived."

The original intention is not important, the process is not important, what is important is the result, he came back alive, touched the authority, and has a black-clothed habayashi in his hands that is enough to shock the capital.

He can survive to this day because he has always taken risks and put himself to death to survive.

The Yin Pavilion is not small, and Xie Chenyan has been walking around for half a day without finishing it. He is happy to think that this is Shen Menghan's place. Shen Menghan grew up here, and every plant and tree seems to be contaminated with his breath. Carefully, none of the people in the pavilion stepped forward to disturb him, and wherever he went, others all retreated extremely far away.

Xie Chenyan just came back before dinner, Shen Menghan took the handkerchief and cleaned his hands for him, Xie Chenyan said excitedly: "There is also a large piece of chrysanthemums planted in front of the Juhan Pavilion, which are much more beautiful than the ones in the flower garden of the old man surnamed Han !"

Shen Menghan let out an "oh" and asked casually, "Where is the Juhan Pavilion?"

Xixuan said: "In the West Pavilion."

Xie Chenyan was a little confused, and asked strangely: "Isn't this your home? You don't know?"

"I haven't been back for 12 years." Shen Menghan said: "I don't know about some newly built places."

Xie Chenyan counted with his fingers, Shen Menghan is 19 years old this year, and he was seven years old 12 years ago.He couldn't help being a little discouraged, he thought this was the place where Shen Menghan grew up, so he was curious.

It turned out not to be, the words I wanted to say just now are gone, and many of the scenery I have seen today seem to have lost their color.

Everything here has nothing to do with Shen Menghan.

The chrysanthemums in the Hanxi Pavilion and the water in the Xuexuan did not leave Shen Menghan's footprints.

Seeing that he suddenly fell down, Shen Menghan asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

Xie Chenyan said: "Then where have you been for the past 12 years?"

Shen Menghan said: "Zhaodu."

Xie Chenyan raised his voice, "Huh?", apparently not knowing where it was.

Shen Menghan explained: "It's Beiji City."

Xie Chenyan tilted his head to look at him, obviously still didn't know, Shen Menghan said: "Tomorrow I will take you to see the map."

Xie Chenyan said: "I don't want to read the map."

Shen Menghan thought he was not interested, so he said indifferently, "Okay."

Xie Chenyan said: "Will you take me there in the future?"

Shen Menghan hesitated for a moment, but did not answer him directly: "Let's talk when we have a chance."

With Zhou Qian's opposition and Shen Menghan's connivance, Xie Chenyan stayed in the outer hall of Shen Menghan's bedroom.

Although it was not as close as in Tangquan Town, Xie Chenyan could still hear clearly whether he coughed lightly or turned over.

Except that Xie Chenyan walked around the pavilion on the first day when he came back, and then he started to follow Shen Menghan every step of the way.

On September 25th, Shen Menghan had a lot of guests to meet.

He was always tired when he got up in the morning. Xie Chenyan didn't want to pretend to be someone else, so he dressed him and tied his hair. Shen Menghan's eyes were half-opened and he was sitting on the low couch in the room with his head down, not sure if he was awake. without.

Xie Chenyan became playful, and Shen Menghan was thinking about what to do today, when suddenly a cold veil was placed on his face, causing him to struggle and almost faint.

Xie Chenyan was startled, and quickly took away the veil, and put a few chrysanthemums on the small table beside the couch, the flower arranging person obviously didn't understand, so he inserted them indiscriminately, and they were crowded together in a mess, not looking good.

Shen Menghan was taken aback, his eyes were a little loose.

Xie Chenyan jumped down the steps and said anxiously: "I'll go invite Mr. Zhou."

Shen Menghan said hoarsely: "Come back."

Xie Chenyan looked back at him.

Shen Menghan waved to him.

Xie Chenyan came back obediently, squatted in front of him, and whispered: "I'm sorry."

Shen Menghan fiddled with the bunch of bright purples and reds and said, "Did you pick it?"

Xie Chenyan became excited again, nodded vigorously and said, "I'm not allowed to pick at Juhanxie, I want to give it to you, so they don't care about me."

Shen Menghan said: "Yes."

The flowers are inserted in a mess, but the branches and leaves are covered with dew, which is full of water and fresh.

Shen Menghan said: "Go get a pair of scissors."

Xie Chenyan: "Huh?"

Shen Menghan raised an eyebrow.

Xie Chenyan woke up like a dream, took the scissors, wrapped the tips and handed them to him.

Shen Menghan laughed and said, "I'm not that weak, so don't be so careful."

His technique is obviously much better than Xie Chenyan's. He cut off the dead petals and dead branches with two or three strokes. After a while, he cut them neatly.

Xie Chenyan stared intently at his long and slender fingers that were lined with cold white under the rich colors, for fear that he would accidentally hurt his hands, Shen Menghan patted his head and smiled: "Go ask Xi Xuan to get some whites." The jade pot, spring vase and plum vase from the kiln come."

He seemed to be in a sudden mood, and regardless of how long the hustle and bustle outside and how long the guests waited, he cut off those few flowers with great interest.

Xie Chenyan was a little apprehensive, and urged him: "If you don't go, it's time for Mr. Zhou to look for you."

It's not that he really respects or is afraid of Zhou Qian, it's just that Zhou Qian likes to lecture them before they eat, and can only watch but not move while eating at a full table. Xie Chenyan is terribly afraid of such torture.

Shen Menghan said: "It's okay, he is accompanying the guests in the front hall now, he can't leave later."

Since it's his birthday, what's wrong with him being self-willed for a while.

It's just that his good mood didn't last long, Xi Xuan said outside: "My lord, Yugong is here, I want to come and see you personally."

Shen Menghan's hands slowed down a bit, and his smile gradually disappeared, his brows were a little gloomy, he glanced at Xie Chenyan and said: "No fighting."

Xie Chen gasped and said, "I haven't fought for a long time."

Shen Menghan teased him: "You won't be able to beat me, I'm afraid you will suffer."

Without his reminding, the hairs on Xie Chenyan's body had already stood up, and with such a sense of oppression, he also realized who that Yugong was.

Shen Menghan instructed: "You stay here."

He got up and walked to the outer hall.

He was going to meet a guest today, and he was wearing a formal dress. When he got on, layers of clothes were spread out behind him, only his waist was slender.Xie Chenyan subconsciously followed him a few steps outside.

Shen Menghan turned around and ordered: "I will cut it when I come back later, you watch it for me and don't allow others to move."

Xie Chenyan's mind was dumb, and he nodded blankly. The magnificent palace with double eaves was like dust in his eyes, and only such a figure remained.

Shen Menghan seemed to smile at him, Xie Chenyan stood still for a long while before turning around and throwing away the waste branch he had just left beside the low couch.

Shen Menghan came back in a hurry to change his clothes, but he didn't come back to cut flowers this day.

There was a puddle of water stains on the changed clothes, whether it was big or small, it was just left by carelessness when cutting the flowers just now, Xie Chenyan hugged the layered embroidered robe, feeling a little dazed.

Shen Menghan went out in the morning and was busy from morning to night. Xie Chenyan wanted to go to the front hall to see him quietly, but he was stopped before he reached the living room. He had the jade pendant that Shen Menghan left for him, but those people did not It's not accommodating, the only way is that the young master said that no one else is allowed to approach.

These people were uniformly dressed in black, each of them looked so memorable, but their martial arts were extremely high, Xie Chenyan was puzzled.

He pondered for a moment at the side, knowing that he was not sure of victory, so he had to go back to Shen Menghan's bedroom, but seeing those servants and maids coming and going without stopping them, he couldn't help feeling a little depressed.

Liangyue came out to look for him, and she said it was the young master's order to prepare dinner for him alone, which were some of the dishes and medicinal foods he usually liked.

Xie Chenyan ate alone and had no appetite. When he heard the sound of silk and bamboo in the distance outside, he suddenly thought of what Shen Menghan had said about the most beautiful people coming. There must be some beautiful dancer songs at such a big banquet. Tricks, maybe Shen Menghan likes them.

He flicked the rice with his chopsticks casually, and suddenly shed a few tears.

Liangyue was taken aback, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xie Chenyan didn't know what was wrong with him, if Shen Menghan was here, he felt that everything in this hidden pavilion was good, but if Shen Menghan was not here, everything was wrong.

And he almost can't remember the days before.

He wiped away his tears indiscriminately, and thought of his mother again, she should be as lively as Liangyue, but when he thought of his mother, he felt his mind was in a mess, and he almost couldn't remember what his mother looked like.

He was a little strange, and asked Liangyue, "Do you remember what your mother looked like?"

Liang Yue said: "My mother died when I was three years old, I don't remember what she looked like."

Xie Chenyan felt relieved, it turned out that no one remembered what his mother looked like.
