May you live in peace

On the tiled roof of the attic, Wuma looked at the decadent old man from the back. In his impression, Yin Jiao back then was a mythical existence.The world has spread that his magic calculation is unmatched, even surpassing the ancestors of the Jiao family and the Mu family in the past.Moreover, he is well versed in ancient and modern times, he knows astronomy from the top, geography from the bottom, has read extensively, and traveled to Kyushu, but he has no competition with the world, and he is romantic and handsome.Now watching him look at the moon melancholy, he doesn't know who the 'Ayu' Jiao Tianao said, but Yin Jiao's body collapsed by the way, let him know that this person's name is a blow to this old man. big.

"The sons of the Wuma family are always so outstanding. Back then, Jun girl was also a cute and clever child, but it's a pity, a pity. Sigh!"

Wuma Zongnian was taken aback for a moment, this old man actually knew Mr. Wuma.

No need to look, Yin Jiao also knew that he must be very confused, after all, when Jun girl came to Beijing, she was not in the capital.But the fate is always very strange, he did meet Mr. Wuma back then, and it was when she and Wuma Qingyou were traveling in Hao country by accident.

He recognized at a glance that these two were members of the Wuma family who had been reclusive for many years, but he didn't bother them.Later, when they met again, they were threatened by bandits on the road when they were going to Chunan.

For more than two months of traveling together, he loved and cared for these two children almost like his own daughters. He liked Wuma Qing's calmness and delicacy, but he liked Wuma Jun's mischievousness and alertness from time to time.Therefore, he even had the idea of ​​marrying Mr. Wuma to Yin Qi, firstly, to consolidate Yin Qi's position, secondly, to fill him with a dark power, and thirdly, he really liked this child.But later, he still gave up this idea, he knew that Yin Qi would not be a qualified husband, and his methods were no less than Yin Ran's today.Moreover, he also clearly knows that the relationship between these two children is different from that of ordinary sisters, and even has a lot more emotions.

He still introduced the scenery along the way to the two children, told them the most beautiful scenery in Haoguo, had eaten many local specialties, and studied the strange creatures he met along the way.

Mr. Wuma likes Saibei, and also likes the scenery of Youzhou. After two months of companionship along the way, it's time to separate.They were going to Liangzhou to see the Gobi Desert. Yin Jiao suggested that they go to Youzhou. At that time, Youzhou belonged to Beidi, but it still couldn't reduce people's yearning and love for Youzhou.But what he didn't expect was that because of this one decision, the direction and destiny of Hao Guo's entire country was almost changed.

He didn't know why fate had cleverly arranged for Jiao Tianao to meet them.At that time, he was still a young man in his early twenties. Because of one incident, they all left the imperial court and traveled abroad.He didn't know what method Jiao Tianao used to get Wuma Jun to follow him to the capital of the Hao Kingdom, and also let Wuma Jun marry Yin Ran. After that, he was kicked out of the capital and 'disappeared' from the world .

Yin Jiao looked at the pitch-black sky, and there was not even a star. The fog buried everything extremely deep, just like the human heart, under the phantoms that cannot be seen clearly and cannot be touched, it is not what it used to be. .

Yin Jiao looked to the southeast, then smiled politely at Wuma Zong.

"I have to trouble Mr. Wuma to take the old man to the Mufu." Yin Jiao came to the palace alone, but happened to meet Wuma from the palace, so he troubled him with some things.

"Don't dare, old man, offend me." Wuma smiled, replied politely, then led Yin Jiao and jumped towards the Mufu.

Mu Mansion is as dignified as it was more than 20 years ago but elegant. When Yin Jiao stepped into this mansion where he had been away for the rest of his life, he was somewhat moved.

Even if the old attic is cleaned, it still has the heaviness of the years.Yin Jiao wandered around the mansion for a while, then went to Dou Lian's room following her memory.

Dou Lian was writing a letter in the study, and it could be seen from the paper that it was a confidential letter.

Yin Jiao clearly remembered the structure and hidden compartments of each room, and when he approached Dou Lian, Dou Lian didn't even respond.

Looking at the contents of the letter, he already knew that Dou Lian was already planning something, it was very simple, he wanted to overthrow Yin Ran and let Yin Xi ascend the throne.However, looking at the contents of his letter, he couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He bumped into a bonsai on the side with his footsteps. Dou Lian turned his head and saw Yin Jiao who was very close to him. He was shocked at first, but was soon stunned by this familiar appearance, and dropped his pen on the ground.

"Master?"

Yin Jiao nodded slightly.Dou Lian's eyes were already wet with tears. At this moment, the two white-haired old men were like close friends who had been separated for many years, and they didn't know how to speak.

"I didn't expect you to be alive, God's blessing." Dou Lian stepped forward to hold Yin Jiao's hand, his face trembling.

Yin Jiao is also very emotional, Dou Lian is older than him, but he is still alive, so he is not lonely anymore.

The two were silent for a long time, Yin Jiao had been waiting for him to calm down.When he looked better, the two sat down together and chatted casually for a while, then Yin Jiao got to the point.

"Old Dou, I have always respected you, even though you have always regarded yourself as a servant of Mufu, but I have always regarded you as a big brother."

Dou Lian nodded and smiled heartily, but he knew that Yin Jiao had something to say.

"So, can you let go of what happened 20 years ago?"

Dou Lian didn't speak, just looked at Yin Jiao silently, the smile on his mouth didn't diminish, but his eyes were so far-reaching and vague.

"Oh." After all, he sighed first, seeing Yin Jiao's expression as if he had aged ten years in an instant, and replied slowly.

"It's not that I don't want to, but that there is no way to take it back."

Yin Jiao didn't know, but heard him murmuring again.

"I kept thinking why I stayed in Beijing at that time. If I had left Beijing with Mu Dishi, then maybe the emperor wouldn't have died that year. Or maybe, I knew Jiao Tianao's nature earlier, and then killed all his intentions." Strategies, everything, will it not happen?"

Dou Lian's voice was hoarse and trembling, a never-before-seen sadness erupted from his body all at once, Yin Jiao's heart cooled down, and he felt grief all over his body.

"Old Dou, we have already passed the seventy-sixth year. Let him pass what happened back then. No matter how entangled, what can we get? Besides, isn't everything going on the original track now? We This is not going to ruin the future of Hao Guo, are you willing?"

Dou Lian trembled all over, then lowered his head.He didn't want to either, but he was always unwilling to let go of that tone, the tone that he insisted on pulling off Jiao Tianao's coat with his own hands.But he also knew that this would hurt Yin Xi, the people the child cared about, and even the people of the entire Hao country.But he couldn't let go, couldn't let go of the long-cherished wish that had haunted him for more than 20 years, couldn't let go of the nightmare that had haunted him for more than 20 years.

Yin Jiao looked at his pensive and painful eyes, and could only shake his head silently. Looking at the quiet night sky outside, he walked to the window, turned his back to Dou Lian, and said slowly.

"Actually, for so many years, maybe we owe him, right?"

Dou Lian raised his head and watched Yin Jiao's pale and exhausted white hair being blown by the breeze. His back was tall and straight but lonely. It was a back with countless stories and the past, so melancholy, but so mysterious.

"If we had stopped Yin Qi back then and didn't let him mess around, maybe Tian Ao wouldn't hate me and Chang Feng, and then go and destroy Hao Guo, right?"

Yin Jiao looked at him sideways, that forced smile made Dou Lian's heart twitch, wanting to comfort him.But Yin Jiao shook his head, turned his head again, looked at the moon, and continued to whisper.

"For so many years, I have been thinking all the time, am I doing the right thing? I chose to support Yin Qi unconditionally in order to follow the destiny, even though we all know what kind of person Yin Qi is. But, for Hao Guo, for the late emperor I always hope that Hao Guo will last forever, that the country will be safe and peaceful, but forget, Jiao Tianao, I, the disciple who has the chosen son, is also a person, and I also have emotions and desires, and I have a heart."

Yin Jiao seemed to be drunk, he was panting even when he spoke, Dou Lian didn't know what to say, and he didn't know who was right and who was wrong in the past.He looked at the inscribed name at the bottom of his letter, Yin Kai, and thought about the turbulent inside and outside of the imperial court these days, and began to hesitate.

The night was silent, Yin Jiao just stood like this, letting the moisture wet the paper in front of the window, he just stood quietly like this.

"I'll go first, Lao Dou, this era doesn't belong to us anymore. There are some things that we can not intervene in. Xi Na's children are tired enough, why should we trouble them, you, think about it Think about it."

Yin Jiao didn't look back, but went out of the room and let Dou Lian sit alone in the room staring at the letter in a daze, until he heard the cuckoo of a white dove outside, and he came back to his senses.Looking at the snow-white pigeon, he sighed and picked up the envelope...
