Because girls generally develop earlier than boys, 15-year-old Guo Xuan is taller than boys of the same age.Her eyebrows and eyes are not fully opened, but they are very delicate. The eyelids and the bridge of the nose have been modified with special means, making her look more youthful and heroic.

This is probably the secret technique used by the family to decorate Qiao's appearance. If it weren't for a certain friend of Zheng Ping's previous life who was proficient in the art of disguise, and often fiddled with it in front of him, Zheng Ping might not be able to discover the girl's true gender.

When Guo Xuan saw Zheng Ping, genuine joy appeared in his eyes.She was wearing the travel clothes of a young man from an aristocratic family, and she was sitting upright on the low couch in the mansion. After Zheng Ping appeared, she immediately jumped up from the couch and quickly threw herself into Zheng Ping's arms.

Suddenly being thrown into his arms by a stranger, Zheng Ping's back stiffened subconsciously.

When Guo Xuan rushed over, he subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but he knew it was not appropriate to do so, so he finally resisted the instinct to retreat and caught this "brother".

Long before coming here, Zheng Ping had guessed countless possibilities, simulating his own attitude towards this "brother".

Now that the younger brother has become a younger sister, although some things are a little more inconvenient, there is basically no deviation.

Guo Xuan hugged him tightly, with joy and a little choking in her voice: "Brother, where have you been, and you haven't sent a letter back for so long."

Zheng Ping was fully prepared, but he never expected his "brother" to cry.He was stunned for a moment, thinking of the closeness and trust of that autistic boy in Xudu to Mi Heng, he had some more guesses in his heart, and he put his hand on Guo Xuan's head with a little hesitation:

"Brother was wrong..."

Zheng Ping felt his clothes being tightly grasped by the girl in his arms. The next second, the girl was crying loudly, and knocked his chest with her fist from time to time:

"Bad guy, brother is a big bad guy—"

Zheng Ping, who has never changed his face when the top of Mount Tai collapsed, never knew what it was to retreat, now his eyes were fixed on a black spot on the wall, and he began to doubt his life for the first time.

Fortunately, he immediately thought of a way to escape, and imitated another friend who kept lions, stroking Guo Xuan's hair like a lion's fur.

"Don't cry anymore, Brother Li apologizes to you...Brother Li is still here, why don't you make him laugh at you crying like this?"

Li Jin originally stayed quietly by the side as a transparent person, watching the reunion of the brother and sister, but he didn't know that the flames of war suddenly burned on him.

Thinking of Guo Xuan's weirdness, he quickly said: "Ah Xuan is smart and cute, how could I laugh at him?"

This trick really worked. Guo Xuan immediately stopped her tears, and she looked calm and stable when she first met: "I made the Li family brother laugh. Thank you, Li family brother, for bringing my brother back. I am very grateful. Thank you, brother."

Li Jin quickly waved his hand: "No, no, no. It's just a small favor, Ah Xuan, you are too polite. I should be thanking you for helping me a lot. Without your plan, I couldn't get away from the prefect so easily."

He expected that the brother and sister would have a lot of private things to say when they reunited after a long absence, so he deliberately said: "Just now I saw a persimmon cake seller in the market, and I just got hungry, I'll come here as soon as I go, and bring you some when I come back."

Turn around and leave.

After Li Jin left, Zheng Ping looked at Guo Xuan, and Guo Xuan also stared at Zheng Ping intently.

Zheng Ping said calmly: "Tell me, what's going on."

He didn't limit what he was asking, and deliberately blurred the subject, relying solely on Guo Xuan's understanding.

Guo Xuan blinked, took the pot from the table, poured a cup of hot water for himself and Zheng Ping, and then replied: "The clan is in chaos now, my aunt asked me to come to brother, and tell you guys Moon don't go back."

Li Jin once said that Guo Xuan's brother is called Han Heng.Now it has been confirmed that Mi Heng's real name is Han Heng, which is different from Guo Xuan's surname. They should be cousins.

Then the aunt Guo Xuan mentioned is most likely Mi Heng's biological mother.

Although Zheng Ping made such a guess, he did not rush to confirm it, but asked, "Why is the clan in such a mess?"

Guo Xuan brought him a cup of hot water: "Anyway, it's nothing to do with you and me, bro, don't worry about it."

Zheng Ping was not so easy to fool around: "Since it's irrelevant, it doesn't hurt to listen to it."

Guo Xuan's hand just followed the water glass, and he couldn't help but pause when he heard the words.She raised her head in surprise, and looked at Zheng Ping seriously again.

Zheng Ping followed her to look at her, but there was nothing unusual in his expression.

He knows that he and Mi Heng cannot be exactly the same, but he is not afraid of being seen by Guo Xuan.

In conclusion, one sentence: I have grown up after being beaten up by the society.A bottle of panacea cleared the whole stage.As long as he does not show abnormalities in other aspects, ordinary people will not think about it from a weird angle.

Sure enough, Guo Xuan only looked at Zheng Ping for a while without showing any suspicion.There was a little emotion in her eyes, as if seeing a naughty child finally becoming sensible, she was relieved and melancholy: "Brother has really changed, you didn't ask much before."

Zheng Ping took the glass of water without making a sound.

He knew why Guo Xuan said that.In the past, Mi Heng was not only suffering from madness for a long time, but also extremely arrogant, and could even be called a self-admired narcissist.Except for Kong Rong and his family, he never puts other people in his eyes, let alone caring about other people's right and wrong.

If Mi Heng was here, he would only ask at most: "When can I go back?" He would never ask "What's the matter".

So Guo Xuan thought that her brother had grown up and knew how to pay attention to all kinds of complicated things, so he didn't know whether it was happiness or worry for a while.

She pondered for a moment, she didn't hide anything, and was about to tell the so-called "clan affairs".

"My aunt won't let me tell you... But I think it's not a bad thing for brother to recognize the true colors of some people and be more vigilant in the future."

Zheng Ping noticed that Guo Xuan seemed to be grasping the measure in his words, and slowly brought it out, as if taking into account his ability to accept, taking into account the condition of the madness, and made a lot of foreshadowing.

What he wanted to know was complete and accurate news, and he didn't need Guo Xuan's verbal care.

So he directly took out a small object from his bosom, hooked the tassel rope at the top, and hung it upside down in front of Guo Xuan's eyes.

"But for this?"

The object that Zheng Ping took out was the seal of Houhou Hou.

Guo Xuan has always known that her elder brother is intelligent, but she never thought that he would grow up so quickly when he went out for a trip, and her sharpness shocked her.

She nodded slowly, and said angrily: "Those bastards actually said that my brother offended Cao Cao in Xudu and was beaten to death outside; there are still people who talk dirty, saying that my brother is not an uncle and son, and is not worthy of heirs. He is even more unworthy of inheriting the title of Marquis of Tongda..."

Zheng Ping's heart skipped a beat when he heard the first half of the sentence.

Is it a coincidence that this perfectly fitting sentence, or... is there another reason why Mi Heng was beaten to death?

When he was intercepted in the alley with a sack to vent his anger, one or two of them killed him. He thought it was a reflection of the evil of human nature, but he never thought that there might be another possibility hidden in it.

The crime of intentionally hurting someone and buying a murder to kill someone is completely different.If there really was a bribed killing knife among them, he would definitely insist on the former between the two, and it would be impossible to admit the truth of the matter.

Guo Xuan was still counting some malicious clansmen who were like leeches eating human blood, when Zheng Ping suddenly said, "Let's go back."

Guo Xuan didn't realize it for a moment: "Huh? But... but my aunt told us not to go back..."

"Since I have inherited the title of Marquis of Tongda, I am the pillar of the family. If they have any doubts about my inheritance, then let them come to me and confront them face to face."

Being able to inherit the title of County Marquis at a young age means that all immediate family members are dead.

The county marquis is the highest title, and the eldest son cannot succeed.Since some people in the clan dared to use his death news and bloodline to persecute him, it can be seen that he was the only male left in his lineage and had no other brothers. Everyone wants to share a piece of the pie.

Now there are no other direct male elders in the family, and no other male children. There is only a widowed mother who stays alone and is persecuted by the clan.

not to mention--

"Scholars should repay kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred."

Maybe you can no longer perceive everything, and you can no longer have emotions.

but.

I will repay your grievances for you, and I will fulfill your wishes for you.

Guo Xuan stared blankly at Zheng Ping upon hearing this.

She noticed the murderous intent hidden in these calm words, and was even more horrified by the unprecedented dark light in her brother's eyes.

"Brother, what happened?"

If it's just the tribe spreading rumors and slandering and cursing him, the elder brother will be angry and insult him, but he will never reveal his killing intent because of it.

"'I offended Cao Cao in Xudu and was beaten to death outside'?" Zheng Ping chewed the sentence slowly, the arc of the corner of his lips tinged with coldness, "It was true that he was almost beaten to death outside, But it wasn't caused by Cao Cao."

Guo Xuan was shocked: "Brother, you, you really—"

"Don't worry, Ah Xuan, I'm fine. It's just that this happened less than a month ago. How did they know that I've offended Cao Cao in Xudu and was beaten to death outside?"

As if being poured by a basin of icy water from the river and lake in winter, Guo Xuan shivered and said, "They—how dare they—"

A trembling hand was held.Zheng Ping held her hand, and his voice was calm and calm, which made her calm down quickly: "Ah Xuan, people are always villains[1], you just need to keep your heart straight and deal with it calmly. Don't get along with others, and don't be afraid of them." state."

Human nature is selfish, but after acquired education, everyone's morals and principles are different.When you encounter a villain who pours malice on yourself for a little benefit, you only need to correct your heart and treat it with your heart. Don't be afraid of him, but also be vigilant, and don't become the same person as him.

Guo Xuan held Zheng Ping's hand tightly, carefully recited the passage just now, paused every word, and replied earnestly: "Xuan, please remember."

Half a month later, Zheng Ping and others returned to Tongda County in a carriage.

They didn't write a letter or send someone to inform them in advance, but as soon as they entered the territory of Tongda County, a group of tribes stopped their carriage.Behind this team, there is a gorgeous car parked.Sitting in the car was an older Confucian scholar and a middle-aged scholar who was a round younger.The old Confucian scholar closed his eyes, while the younger middle-aged scholar maintained his superficial politeness, but his tone seemed extremely contemptuous:

"Sixteenth nephew, how dare you come back?"

Turning his gaze to Guo Xuan again, he snorted coldly, "Sure enough, he lost his parents and mother when he was young, and he is so ignorant of etiquette. Wearing men's clothes, could it be that he wants to imitate that evil concubine, Yu Xi?"
