old grace

Where is the Dragon Scale Guard's yamen?This is not a secret, any knowledgeable commoner in Dragon City will know it.

"Shall we... just go there like this?"

On the way to drive to Longlinwei Yamen, Fu Chuan was still a bit unbelievable.

The Hanjiang Sword Sect has existed for many years, and has maintained an extremely delicate relationship with the dynasties of all dynasties.Not to mention the ancient times when all the immortals came together, since all the Xiumen families have cut off their inheritance and become martial arts, the emperor as the secular emperor has a very high status.

The Hanjiang Sword Sect controls the extraterrestrial governance, and the imperial court controls the secular governance. This is a tacit balance between each other.

As early as a thousand years ago, there were secular emperors who wanted to challenge the world's ruling power and end this situation.

As a result, [-] elite soldiers besieged Hanshan, and the outer sect of the Hanjiang Sword Sect died.

The angry Hanjiang inner disciple drove the flying kite and went straight to the imperial city.In the same day, the royal family was wiped out.

The consequences of this battle were extremely tragic.

The Zhibao Cave of the Hanjiang Sword Sect was burned down, [-] volumes of untransmitted secrets were lost, and the outer sect was completely wiped out.

On the court side, the talented and powerful ZTE Lord was lost, and two generations of generals fell to Hanshan.As a result, in the following 120 years, the Di people and the Yi people successively wreaked havoc in the Central Plains, and as many as 400 million people suffered indirectly.

The price is too heavy and the consequences are too tragic.

Because of this, Qiushuichang Patriarch, who was the head of the Hanjiang Sword Sect at the time, was depressed all his life, and he sat on Feiyuyan before he was a hundred years old.

From then on, the Hanjiang Sword Sect only focused on cultivating and eliminating demons, looking for inheritors, and seldom got involved in worldly affairs.

Since then, the secular emperors and imperial courts of all dynasties have known how powerful they are, and they dare not provoke the Hanjiang Sword Sect easily.Some wise people would even prepare generous gifts to pay a visit to Hanshan. For example, Wei Taizong, who moved the capital to Longcheng, directly served Patriarch Su Mingyu as a teacher, and asked Patriarch Su Mingyu to determine the layout of Longcheng.Zhang Chao also had the habit of sending princes to Hanshan as apprentices.

In short, the Hanjiang Sword Sect and the imperial court are not weak or strong. The relationship between whoever bullies whomever is carefully maintained by both sides.

The imperial court was afraid that the Hanjiang Sword Sect would be exterminated if it was angered, while the Hanjiang Sword Sect was worried that it would overturn the stall and harm the people all over the world.

For more than 100 years since Shangguan Shiyi succeeded the head of the Hanjiang Sword Sect, he has always adhered to the line of not getting involved in the world, and lived in peace with the court.Even if Xie Qinghe suggested several times that the officials were not clear at that time, the emperor was incompetent, and the people had no way of life, he would never be allowed to meddle in his own affairs when he was an official.

Until Fu Chuan killed four hundred thousand riders in Luoma City.

Now that the relationship between the two sides is turbulent, the Hanjiang Sword Sect has sent more than a dozen outer sect disciples to guard Fu Chuan's industries in various places, which means that the Hanjiang Sword Sect has lost its basic trust in the imperial court and is ready to go to war.

This made Fu Chuan more cautious.

When he fought back frantically in Luoma City, he didn't know that his master would protect him, and he didn't think he could represent the Hanjiang Sword Sect.

——Tun Xing Cult crazily framed and framed, Shangguan Shiyi remained silent, Fu Chuan was sad, and naturally doubted his own identity and position.As long as the Hanjiang Sword Sect made an earlier move, he would not be cornered and forced to slaughter in Luoma City.

Now that the Hanjiang Sword Sect and the imperial court have started a confrontation, Fu Chuan can't just think about his own situation.After meeting Xie Qinghe, Fu Chuan learned that Qi Xinran had appeared in Anyang City, so he immediately changed his mind and decided to temporarily put aside the Dragon Scale Guard and investigate the Swallowing Sect first.

After all, if the imperial court starts another war with the Hanjiang Sword Sect, no one can predict the consequences and end.

"Master, we still have a child with us." Fu Chuan pointed to the donkey who sat obediently in the carriage.

The third lady thinks that the donkey egg is a person who is born with a hardened heart and is a treasure for sacrifice, so she wants to give the donkey egg to Elder Yu as a gift.Xie Qinghe and Fu Chuan originally wanted to sneak in to see the situation, so they also brought the donkey egg.The most important thing is that he only offended the yamen servants in Wanshou County, which might have alarmed some forces, and he didn't dare to put the donkey eggs in the warehouse alone.

At this time, go to the Longlin Guard Yamen to pick trouble, and it might be a fight.What's the matter with a child who is panting after two steps?

Xie Qinghe sat cross-legged in the car and said quietly: "I can't fight."

Fu Chuan looked back, only to realize that something was wrong.

Xie Qinghe used to lean on the carriage, resting comfortably and casually, but today he seems to be leaning on the carriage, but in fact his back is straight, and there is a very thin gap between his clothes and the carriage.This is a posture of vigilance and sobriety, ready to stand up with a sword at any time.

...But you can't fight?

"Uncle, do you have something that you can't tell me?" Fu Chuan asked.

"It's not impossible to say." Xie Qinghe was silent for a moment, "I'm not too sure, it's like Xiuniang."

Xiu Niang?Xiuniang was the daughter-in-law who was almost beaten to death by her husband's family.

It's only been more than ten days, Fu Chuan still remembers it clearly.They only knew that Xiuniang's in-law's family wanted to covet her natal family's property and sell her nephew, so they did not hesitate to beat Xiuniang to death.Xiuniang accepted this submissively, without showing any desire to survive.

Fu Chuan believed that Xiuniang wanted to die on purpose, and wanted to leave the property belonging to her nephew to her son, so as to make atonement to her natal family by dying.

Xie Qinghe's attitude is, you are not Xiuniang, you can't be sure of her true thoughts, how can you condemn her?

"Excuse me, disciple is dull?" Fu Chuan was at a loss, this was too vague, he really couldn't understand.

"I'll tell you more about it when I figure it out more clearly." Xie Qinghe had nothing to hide from his junior brother.It's just that the whole thing is too long, private and bizarre, and it's not time-consuming, but mental effort.

"All you need to know now is that your second senior brother may have passed the test." Xie Qinghe said softly.

"Second Senior Brother?" Fu Chuan was stunned, "Isn't he... missing? How do you know he's out of customs? Does he have anything to do with the Zheliu Street we went to just now? —— I don't know how he has been all these years .Master is not allowed to mention him."

"It's only possible." Xie Qinghe emphasized this point.

"Can't you explain to me a little bit more clearly?" Fu Chuan hated not to speak human words the most in his life, but only when facing Xie Qinghe, could he complain so openly.

"I'll tell you in detail later. Go to the Dragon Scale Guard first." Xie Qinghe said.

Fu Chuan turned around and concentrated on driving. The streets of Longcheng are very spacious, and there are a lot of pedestrians and vehicles correspondingly. If it is a main avenue, it will be full of traffic and bustling.The more you go to the forbidden area, the quieter it becomes.The common people are not allowed to rent and buy properties near the Forbidden Palace. The circle of the imperial city is full of mansions bestowed by the emperor, and there are also various yamen with close ties to the imperial family.

The farther the carriage went, the fewer people there were around, and the stricter the inspection posts became.

At the beginning, the guards patrolling the city only glanced at the carriage. The third lady's carriage was gorgeous and exquisite, and looked very rich, but no one checked it.Gradually, the places you go to become more and more critical, and the city guards on the road will come up to "greeting", nominally to greet the nobles, but in fact to check the origin and identity, and if there is any mistake, they will be locked up immediately.

Fu Chuan lied nonsense, saying that he was a monk, and he was going to the Dragon Scale Guard to do business, but he just got away with it.

"This protector of the country is very majestic." Fu Chuan sighed.

Xie Qinghe sat on the swaying carriage, his upper body was motionless, and his eyes were slightly closed.

Fu Chuan was bored, babbled a few words, and continued to drive the car honestly.However, the road ahead is not easy.There is a checkpoint directly in front of it, which is not a passable road. If you want to go in, you have to show your identity documents, and you don't want to wander around if you have nothing to do.

Fu Chuan parked the carriage beside the checkpoint, thinking whether he had to fight all the way in?Where can he get the documents?

He also said he couldn't fight.Fu Chuan muttered.

At this moment, a figure flew over from the black tiles on the eaves and landed lightly.

Several Dragon Scale Guards guarding the edge of the checkpoint backed away in a panic, bowing their knees and saluting, saying: "General Wei." More than a dozen soldiers who were resting in the house also rushed out after hearing the sound, and knelt on the ground in unison : "Meet General Wei."

Fu Chuan jumped up from the carriage first: "Second Senior Brother!"

Although the visitor was wearing a mask that covered half of his face, the exposed long eyebrows and the curvature of his chin made Fu Chuan immediately recognize his identity.After so many years, the second senior brother's face is not old, and he is still exactly the same as when he was with him when he was a child!

He didn't know what happened 11 years ago, and he didn't know what quarrel between Master and Second Senior Brother.

He only remembered that when he was very young, he slept next to the second senior brother at night, he could see the second senior brother's face when he turned his head, and he could hear the second senior brother's breathing and heartbeat!Although, the homework given by the second senior brother is very heavy, and the lessons are also very strict.But, who is not strict with Han Shan?

Fu Chuan threw himself in front of the masked man in black robe, stopped after thinking for a while, and knelt down: "Fu Chuan pays homage to Senior Brother."

Shu Hanyun stood where he was, looking into the carriage.

Xie Qinghe lifted the curtain of the car and got down slowly.

Across a checkpoint, the two stood still, their eyes facing each other.

... 11 years.

"Master Uncle said that you are out of customs, you really have out? Have you been in Dragon City all these years? Why didn't you go back to Hanshan? Brother Nanfeng misses you..." Fu Chuan was very excited.It is definitely a surprise to meet the second senior brother who has been missing for many years in Longcheng!

Shu Hanyun opened his mouth and said dumbly, "Master."

Xie Qinghe wanted to pretend to be "Uncle Master", but Shu Hanyun didn't dare to tear down the stage.

"Let's talk in another place." Xie Qinghe said.

Shu Hanyun walked up to Xie Qinghe, with earnest and pleading eyes, but Xie Qinghe didn't look at him, he really wanted to find a secluded place to talk.Their conversation will involve many ulterior secrets, and if it is leaked out, someone will always be silenced.

Shu Hanyun supported his arm: "What's wrong with your hand?"

You can ask about other things, but this matter is too much.

Feeling that Xie Qinghe's mood became serious, Shu Hanyun hurriedly helped him into the car: "Go to my place and have a cup of tea. It's quiet and no one will disturb you."

Fu Chuan watched as the second senior brother helped the senior uncle back to the carriage, sat on the shaft of the carriage naturally, and drove forward.General Wei personally drove the car, and the checkpoints naturally let it go respectfully. When the carriage came to Fu Chuan's side, Shu Hanyun stopped the car and said, "Come on."

Fu Chuan hurriedly climbed onto the shaft of the car and sat down, wanting to take the reins and whip: "Senior brother, I'll drive the car."

Pulling the carriage, Shu Hanyun wobbled towards the fortified gate of the Dragon Scale Guards. He didn't hand over the whip, but just smiled.Senior brother is sitting in the carriage, how can I hand over the reins and whip to you?

There was Shu Hanyun sitting on the shaft of the car, brushing his face, and the road to Longlinwei was unimpeded.

Walking to the door, seeing Shu Hanyun sitting on the shaft of the chariot motionless, the gatekeeper Long Linwei was stunned for a moment, then immediately opened the middle door and removed the threshold.

——The last nobleman who stepped into the gate of Longlin Guard in a chariot was nine years ago, and the royal driver came in person!

In addition, when the guardian of the country came, Prime Minister Xiao came, and General Li came... all had to enter through the side door.What kind of nobleman is sitting in this carriage, who has such a great face in Longlinwei Yamen?

The carriage drove all the way to the middle hall, Shu Hanyun stopped the horse and raised the curtain of the carriage: "Master... Uncle."

Xie Qinghe walked slowly into the middle hall, looking at the two characters hanging in front of the hall, one said heaven and earth, and the other said no confusion.Heaven and earth are respected in the heart, but don't be confused are the thoughts in the heart?Is he also regretful and in pain?Xie Qinghe felt a little sad.

Donkey Dan and Wei Qin also got out of the car and stood in the middle hall of the heavily guarded Longlin Guard Yamen.

Xie Qinghe went into the middle hall to read, and Shu Hanyun followed.

What surprised Fu Chuan was that the uncle stood there so casually, and the second senior brother, who in his impression was not in awe of the master, actually showed [-] points of fear towards the uncle, and he followed the uncle Go in, without urging to say anything, just kneel quietly in the hall and wait.

This is the second senior brother?Are you so afraid of Master Uncle?

Think again.Uncle Shi is so powerful, and treats people with kindness and gentleness. I also respect and love him very much.

If it is based on reverence and awe, is it justified?

wrong.The second senior brother must have done something bad.The senior uncle is so talkative and considerate, if the second senior brother didn't do something bad, he would never be so afraid of him! ...Second senior brother couldn't be the villain who poisoned his senior uncle, right? !

Fu Chuan was taken aback by himself.

Unfathomably, he ate a huge melon, and Fu Chuan huddled at the door silently, waiting for his uncle to speak.

Xie Qinghe only glanced at the words, and Shu Hanyun knelt down in front of the hall.He looked at Shu Hanyun's always lowered brows and submissive posture, held back the sigh, and said, "Tell my junior brother to drink tea here. You and I choose another private room and talk quietly."

Shu Hanyun bowed his head and agreed: "Yes."

Fu Chuan was full of confusion, he didn't know that his uncle would not listen in, he became anxious immediately: "Uncle..."

Shu Hanyun's voice was soft: "I have fried pears with white tea, which my junior brother likes to drink, please sit down for a while."

Fu Chuan suddenly realized that the other protagonist in this incident was the second senior brother!The authority established in childhood is very useful, and Fu Chuan also knows that he can't act like a baby to the second senior brother... The second senior brother is not the senior uncle.In front of the second senior brother, he had to maintain the magnanimous demeanor of his head disciple.

"Yes. Senior brother, please go ahead." Fu Chuan suppressed his curiosity and watched the senior uncle and the second senior brother leave one after the other.

What is actually happening?Didn't the uncle leave the school many years before the second brother disappeared, and traveled around the world?What grievances and grievances can he have with the second senior brother?Could it be that the second senior brother kidnapped the daughter of his beloved? ...do you have a daughter?
