At night, in the Spring Breeze Pavilion in Yangzhou City, a woman with heavy make-up is on the high platform, babbling and singing tunes that hurt spring and autumn.The spectators in the audience, whether they understand it or not, love to give a thumbs up at the end of the tune—wonderful!I don't know if it's the ambiguous tune, or the woman's bright face under the dim yellow light.

Lin Xiu was sitting in the back room of the Chunfeng Pavilion. He could faintly hear the uproar and the occasional sound of instrumental music in the front hall.There was nothing behind the prosperity, Lin Xiu looked at the moonlight outside the window, and suddenly felt a little sad.

However, this emotion came and went quickly, and when Zhuan Sunyu finished his work and appeared in the wing room, Lin Xiu had already packed up his emotions, and sat on the low couch in front of the window to watch the visitor quietly.

The 16-year-old Zhuan Sunyu no longer had the youthful youthfulness on his face, and his appearance had also changed a lot.The face between a teenager and a young man has not been stained with weather, and can only be described as delicate.After Lin Xiu saw such an appearance, he could only praise him. He deserved to be the character who fascinated most of the young talents in the country in the later stage of the plot.

But Lin Xiu didn't like such an overly delicate appearance very much, it always reminded him of a person, no, maybe it's more appropriate to say it came from a ghost.

But after all, they are different, different time and space, different experiences, and different people.

Just as he was thinking about it, a magnified handsome face suddenly appeared in front of him.Zhuan Sunyu waved his hand in front of Lin Xiu's eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother, the nine years of following the Juggernaut have been wasted? The vigilance is so poor that you don't even know that I appear in front of you. I was hoping to succeed in my studies." My brother who has returned is protecting me, now that I think about it, maybe I am protecting my brother."

Lin Xiu also smiled, and put one hand on the window sill, his casual tone was full of trust, "Why should I guard against you?"

When Zhuan Sunyu heard this, a warm light flashed in his dark eyes, and then disappeared in a flash.

"Didn't brother ask me what happened in recent years?"

"I wanted to ask, but now I understand."

"Oh?" Zhuan Sunyu sat opposite Lin Xiu, took out a set of white jade chess pieces from the hidden compartment of the low couch, and asked, "What do you understand, brother?"

Lin Xiu took the chess box, held the black first, and said calmly: "I heard something on the way back. The emperor will arrange a spring outing and will arrive in Yangzhou in late March this spring. The sixteenth prince will come to protect the emperor in early March. Yangzhou investigation, it is estimated that they will appear in Yangzhou City in about ten days."

"That's right, but that's just a rumor." Zhuan Sunyu said, leaving a son behind.

Lin Xiu's Heizi was attacking violently, and the situation was not good for Zhuan Sunyu. He seemed to be forced to defend, "According to the intelligence network of Yanyu Building, Liu Xinran had appeared in Yangzhou City as early as February [-]th, and he is currently warming up in the Spring Breeze Pavilion." Listen to Qu'er in my son's room. Yiyi has been in contact with him a few times, and he is cold-hearted."

"No wonder there are so many people hiding in the dark." Lin Xiu nodded, and then asked, "So you plan to get close to him and take the opportunity to leave Yangzhou? What's your title of 'Master', and what's the matter with you who was in the building a while ago?" Eldest young master', it's your idea."

"Yes." Zhuan Sunyu said, "Emperor Yongye (Liu Chen) has been suspicious and has been secretly weakening Liu Xinran's power. Although Liu Xinran appears to have no intention of being emperor, he doesn't like being controlled by others. In the end, he is just an obsessed However, the power still lies with the noble master. Now the entire imperial court, Liu Xinran and Liu Chen each hold one end, causing the entire imperial court to be in a mess. It is expected that the two of them will tear their faces apart in a short time.

As far as I know, Liu Xinran went out with the army in his early years and made great military exploits.Now, he is holding the tiger talisman of the 20 troops on the northwest frontier, and there are thousands of black-clothed guards in Beijing who were gifted to him by the late emperor when he passed away, almost disturbing Liu Chen's sleepless nights.

But Liu Chen was able to sit on the throne, and he was not someone who could be rubbed round and flattened by others.Relying on the queen's natal family, General Zhenyuan's Mansion, he also has 15 soldiers in his hands, plus the [-] imperial troops under his direct control, he is evenly matched with Liu Xinran.

However, if there is a real discussion, Liu Chen has an advantage over Liu Xinran.Because he is the emperor, and although he has not made great achievements in the nine years since he took the throne, he has also made no mistakes.Now the court is stable and the people live in peace.Therefore, even if Liu Chen can't do anything to Liu Xinran for the time being, compared with the popular support, Liu Chen will lose sooner or later. "

"So, you plan to vote under Liu Xinran's command?" Lin Xiu tapped the black stone on the chessboard, as if he was thinking about his next move, and he seemed to be thinking about Zhuan Sunyu's next move.

"A few years ago, I secretly transferred the power of the Yanyu Tower to the underground, for the day when they completely tore up their skin. Now I have such a rare opportunity to enter Beijing, how could I let it go? What I am most concerned about now is , just one question."

Zhuan Sunyu raised his head and looked at Lin Xiu who was opposite him.Lin Xiu was amused by his serious look, and couldn't help but said, "You just want to ask me if I want to go with you."

Zhuan Sunyu nodded, "Then brother's answer?"

Lin Xiu dropped another son and went deep into the enemy's camp, "'Lin Xiu' has already returned to the Yanyu Building. As for me, my name is Fan Xiulin, and I am Yu'er's guard. I want to stay by Yu'er's side and protect Yu'er." So thoughtful."

In the end, Lin Xiu rested his chin on his hands and said with a smile, "You lost."

Zhuan Sunyu put down the chess pieces as he said, and took back the chess boxes one by one.

"My brother is still the same as nine years ago, nothing has changed."

"How can you tell that I haven't changed? People's hearts are in the belly, maybe I will be the one who will kill you in the next moment."

Zhuan Sunyu just smiled and didn't answer. Lin Xiu didn't bother to continue this topic, and instead asked, "Where is my grandfather?"

"The old man went to Shaolin to visit friends a while ago, and the return date is undecided."

Lin Xiu answered casually, and asked, "In what capacity are you going to approach Liu Xinran?"

"The orphan of Zhuansun's family."

Speaking of this, Lin Xiu understood everything, the previous letter of critical illness was not from Lin Zheng's hand, but Zhuan Sunyu, a kid who made a fool of himself, in order to recruit him back.Those people in the current Yanyu building are just an illusion for the outside world to see.

On the other side of the Spring Breeze Pavilion, in Nuan'er's wing, there was a constant sound of silk and bamboo, sometimes mixed with the voice of a man joking, making it easy to imagine the scene inside the house.

However, this is not the case inside the house.

Liu Xinran sat in the back room with a cold face, holding a greeting card, listening to the report of the person kneeling on the ground.He received the post yesterday, asking him to go to the Misty Rain Building for a gathering.

He had heard about the Yanyu Tower, and it was said that it had the largest intelligence network in Jianghu.It's a pity that nine years ago, shortly after the young master Lin Xiu left Yanyu Tower, the power fell away, and finally Lin Yu took control of the entire Yanyu Tower.

Since then, the intelligence business of Yanyu Building has plummeted, and the original owner Lin Ying was bedridden by Lin Yuqi, and finally passed away a few days ago.The reason why the Misty Rain Building has not collapsed now is because of the shadow of the ancestors.

But the centipede is dead but not stiff. If he can lend Lin Yu's hand to control the Yanyu building and rebuild the intelligence network of the Yanyu building, it will be beneficial to him and the court.

And judging from the reports of his subordinates, Lin Yu was nothing worth mentioning.The only thing that is useful to him is the Yanyu Tower represented behind him, and his true identity—Zhuansun Yu, the orphan of the Zhuansun family.

Liu Xinran felt that it was necessary for him to meet him. If Zhuan Sunyu was really as the information said, with a surly personality and a cruel personality, he would be a useful pawn.If it wasn't... Liu Xinran smiled sinisterly, and he would kill him.The left and right Misty Rain Buildings are not great, even if they are really destroyed, it doesn't matter.The left and right are nothing but wild grass, nothing to be afraid of.

In the middle of the night, the woman's low moans gradually dissipated.Lin Xiu looked at Zhuan Sunyu who was sitting across from him, who had been smiling, and sighed.

The child who would lean by his side that year, holding his hand and acting like a baby, had grown up after all.He couldn't help beckoning Zhuan Sunyu, and when Zhuan Sunyu walked up to him with a little doubt, Lin Xiu got up and hugged his waist, crossed the window, jumped a few times, and disappeared into the moonlight.

The wind at night brought some damp water vapor, and it was cool to the face. Zhuan Sunyu hugged Lin Xiu tightly, put his head on his shoulder, and glanced at the bustling Yangzhou city at his feet, crossed the walk The peddler watchman yelling in the street, the flying bird that flickered across the night sky, finally stopped on Lin Xiu's face.

Under the reflection of the moonlight, Lin Xiu's face reflected a bleak light, and he stared at the front with a concentrated expression, as if he would not stay for any vulgar things in the world.

Zhuan Sunyu was fascinated by watching it, and he didn't even know when he left Yangzhou City.

By the time his feet touched the ground again, he had already appeared on the top of a mountain in the outskirts of Yangzhou.He is now standing on a boulder protruding from a cliff, and when he lowers his head, he can see the shimmering lake water under his feet, and the fireflies jumping in the bushes by the lake.

Lin Xiu had already sat down, looking straight ahead.

Zhuan Sunyu also sat down, carefully feeling this rare peaceful time.Not long after, Lin Xiu's misty words came from his ears, which seemed to be close to his ears, but seemed far away in the sky.

"I don't want to say things like don't take revenge. It's all empty talk. I just hope that one day in the future, after you get revenge, you can go on peacefully. Although revenge is important, it is not everything. Don't suppress yourself too much, It may be better to stop occasionally to look at the scenery on the side of the road."

After Lin Xiu finished speaking, he stopped talking.Zhuan Sunyu also fell silent, and after a long time, he said softly, "You really are, you haven't changed at all, Xiaoxiu."

Hearing this, Lin Xiu pressed his hand on the top of Zhuan Sunyu's head, and rubbed it vigorously, until Zhuan Sunyu looked at him with wet eyes unbearably, then Lin Xiu withdrew his claws.

"Is Xiaoxiu something you can call me? Brother!"

Zhuan Sunyu rubbed his head, didn't answer, just smiled.

Not long after, the moon hid in the clouds, and the sky and the earth were pitch black for a while.

Lin Xiu turned his head to look in the direction of Zhuan Sunyu, and his lips touched a soft place inadvertently, which disappeared instantly.

Startled, he leaned back and quickly dodged.At this moment, the moon had leaked out from the clouds, Lin Xiu regained consciousness, and saw Zhuan Sunyu just sitting there quietly, staring at the lake at his feet.

Lin Xiu couldn't help feeling a little guilty, turned his head away and stopped talking, missing the flashing smile in Zhuan Sunyu's eyes.Time passed quietly like this, Lin Xiu was a little drowsy, his head was shaking bit by bit.Seeing this, Zhuan Sunyu moved closer to Lin Xiu, pressed his head on his shoulder, and stopped moving.

Lin Xiuyu's steady breathing came from next to his ears. After Zhuan Sunyu heard it, he couldn't help softening his lower face, and whispered in a soft voice that only he could hear.

"You really haven't changed at all, you're still just as stupid."

When speaking, Zhuan Sunyu's eyes were soft, as if he had devoted his whole life to tenderness.
