Rumors spread everywhere in the market, and storytellers spread more and more outrageous stories about Wen Shixing and Liu Zonghe. When everyone heard that the young city lord was standing outside the city gate, they all joined in the fun and ran to the city gate to watch.

In Honglian Mansion, just after Wen Shixing took a bowl of medicine, his maid rushed in, "Young City Lord, over there..."

Before she finished speaking, she saw a woman sitting by the bed.He is wearing clothes with crimson lotus patterns on his body, with a complicated and exquisite hairstyle on his head, and a few pairs of golden walkers on it, which are mixed with the hairpins, shining brightly.

The maid hurriedly bowed and saluted, "Ma'am."

Madam Honglian looked back, her appearance was very similar to that of Wen Shixing, but with a lot more maturity and arrogance.She put the bowl on the basket carried by the maid beside her, and Liu Yemei frowned slightly, "Why are you so flustered, have you forgotten the rules?"

There are many rules in Honglian Mansion, especially in front of Mrs. Honglian, she does not allow anyone to be rude.This morning, when the city lord told him about Wen Shixing, she had no emotion on her face, she just ordered someone to make medicine and delivered it to Wen Shixing's room herself.

In Wen Shixing's memory, her mother was always so indifferent. Compared with her father's violent temper, she was more calm and silent.

The maid who was kneeling on the ground stammered, "Yes... the Young Lord of Yunfeng City is outside the city gate."

Wen Shixing twitched his eyelashes, then lowered his head and did not speak.

Madam Honglian glanced at Wen Shixing's face without any trace, "What do you think?"

After a long time, Wen Shixing breathed a sigh of relief, looked directly into his mother's eyes and said, "Let him go, we have already made up."

The mother and son were relatively speechless. Mrs. Honglian lifted the hem of her clothes and stood up, saying in a deep voice, "Take good care of your body."

After that, she turned and walked out of the room.The maid in the house followed closely behind.Wen Shixing on the bed closed his eyes and lay back on the bed.

At the gate tower, Cheng Qinghan leaned against the edge of the stone bricks, looking at Liu Zonghe's gradually pale face.He stretched out his hands to cover his brows to look at the sun, and he survived the noon, and he didn't look so useless.

The people downstairs who joined in the fun dispersed quite a bit. Staring at the bright light for a long time made Liu Zonghe's eyes gradually turn black. He staggered a little unsteadily, and suddenly felt a nauseating feeling in his throat.

"General Cheng, will people be killed if this continues?" the attendant behind him said suddenly.

Cheng Qinghan glanced at the attendant speechlessly, Liu Zonghe was also a person who had been on the battlefield after all, if he really fell like this, then he had to wonder if Liu Zonghe was just watching the show from the sidelines all these years of fighting and just taking credit for it.

"General Cheng! Madam Honglian is here!" an attendant climbed up the stairs and shouted.

"Ma'am." Cheng Qinghan stepped on the gravel, walked in front of her and saluted.After that, he explained everything that happened with Liu Zonghe just now.

"What's urgent?" Madam Honglian thought for a moment, then walked towards Liu Zonghe, whose lips had already turned pale.

Liu Zonghe squinted his eyes, as if he saw Wen Shixing.When Mrs. Honglian was about to approach, he realized that it was a woman.

"We, Honglian, can't afford to do such a thing to the Young City Lord of Yunfeng City. If there is something urgent, it's okay to speak up."

After standing for too long, the sweat on Liu Zonghe's forehead flowed into his eyes. He stretched out his hand and wiped it a few times, "You are Mrs. Honglian?"

Madam Honglian looked at Liu Zonghe indifferently, acquiescing.She quickly glanced at the man in front of her. The last time she saw him was when Liu Zonghe was still learning to walk.Time flies, and now they are much taller than her.

It's just that I didn't expect this child to develop such a domineering character.Although she knew that Liu Zonghe's mother really doted on her, she didn't want it to lead to the current situation.

"My father..." Liu Zonghe thought for a while, no matter whether Yunfeng really wanted to occupy Honglian or not, once he said this, it would become an insurmountable knot between the two cities.

"Let me meet Wen Shixing." Liu Zonghe changed his words. After much deliberation, he thought it would be better to talk to Wen Shixing about this matter than telling Mrs. Honglian directly.

Mrs. Honglian didn't change her face, "Shi Xing means to let you leave here, you have already made up. If something happens to you here, we Honglian will not be able to explain to your father."

Her words were watertight, and there was no room for people to refute.Forget it, Liu Zonghe didn't speak anymore, he can only count on that flag now.

Although Mrs. Honglian's words were tactful, she had always been hard-hearted. Seeing that Liu Zonghe was unwilling to give up, she did not persuade her.Turning around and glanced at Cheng Qinghan, said in a low voice, "I'll leave this to you."

After speaking, he returned to the city.

Cheng Qinghan looked at his wife's back, and thought that if Wen Shixing could inherit this kind of decisiveness, he wouldn't have to wait until today to return to Honglian.After thinking about it, he wanted to give Wen Shixing a lesson.

He looked back at Liu Zonghe, who was still standing there with a white face.Dead beat, right?Cheng Qinghan sniffed, I will accompany you to the end, and see when you go back in despair.

In the afternoon, the sun came and went, and was no longer as fierce as the sun. Liu Zonghe hadn't drank half a mouthful of water, and his lips had begun to appear dry and cracked.The sweat on his body had already soaked through his clothes, and he seemed to be unable to hear the crowds and discussions around him.

His stomach was empty, and he wanted to vomit countless times, but he couldn't vomit.The hand holding the broken jade hairpin also began to weaken gradually, and the consciousness in his body seemed to disappear.

However, he was thinking in his mind what he would say when he met Wen Shixing.How to speak so as not to make him angry.

Suddenly, there was a drop of water on the tip of his nose.Liu Zonghe stared blankly at the sky, the clouds were getting thicker.Another drop of water fell on his face.

It's raining.

Liu Zonghe's heart tightened, it's over, it's raining, what about the flag!He looked at Cheng Qinghan on the tower, who had his hands folded around his chest, with a meaningful expression on his face.

God doesn't help him, maybe this is retribution.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and it hurt Liu Zonghe's body.

After an unknown amount of time, he lost his mind, and suddenly the hosta in his hand fell into the mud.

not good!Liu Zonghe immediately bent down and stretched out his hand to feel for it.This jade hairpin was originally white, and the jade hairpin pendant was almost broken, leaving only one handle intact.

Liu Zonghe panicked, and the movements of his hands were disorderly, making them muddy in the mud.The soil here is very soft and loose, and the rain is heavy, and the water flows away with the soil.

He was like a blind man, ignoring the gravel and dirt, lying on the ground and searching frantically.Rainwater gathered in front of Liu Zonghe's face, making his vision more and more blurred.

Cheng Qinghan on the tower watched the man's movements suspiciously, and he shouted to the soldiers downstairs, "Go and see what's going on."

After finishing speaking, as soon as the soldiers walked over, Liu Zonghe shouted, "Don't come over! Don't step on the jade hairpin!"

The soldier stared blankly for a few seconds, then ran back to the tower.

"I seem to be looking for a hosta."

After hearing this, Cheng Qinghan thought for a while, and recalled the jade hairpin that Wen Shixing once showed off to him.It must be that thing, he snorted coldly, why didn't you feel distressed when the jade hairpin was broken, and now you come to act?

Liu Zonghe in the downstairs place became more and more confused, and the sky gradually darkened. Without light, it was even more difficult to find.

Liu Zonghe was so angry that he punched the ground, spraying mud and water all over his face.He stared blankly at his muddy hands, then roared angrily, bent down and pressed his face to the ground to continue searching.

There was mud all over his face and body, and his nails were scratched by the gravel on the ground. Finally, Liu Zonghe groped for a long handle.

Liu Zonghe was delighted to see that it was a jade hairpin!

"That's great, that's great..." He wiped the jade hairpin clean with his hands like a treasure, which was not enough, and then carefully wiped the mud stains on the jade hairpin with the clothes on his body.

After wiping it clean, he carefully stuffed it back into his arms and never took it out again.Staggering up from the ground, he looked at the sky, if the rain didn't stop, he wouldn't see the sun at all tomorrow.

Cheng Qinghan won't let himself in.

Liu Zonghe gritted his teeth secretly, no, he can't leave.He must meet Wen Shixing. Besides talking about his father, he also wanted to talk to Wen Shixing about the relationship between the two.

However, contrary to expectations, the rain did not become smaller, but became heavier and heavier.Mixed with the wind, people can't help shivering.

He closed his eyes, remembering that it was the same rain that night.Wen Shixing appeared in front of him with a lamp and an umbrella. At that time, he was so cautious that he didn't even dare to share the same umbrella with him.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that I am not human. Wen Shixing's fear of him is visible to the naked eye.And instead of restraining himself, he hurt him step by step.

That day, even killing someone in front of him, Wen Shixing must have been terrified.Not knowing what was going on with his body, Liu Zonghe opened his eyes, his mind was full of injuries and bleeding.

"Sorry……"

His Adam's apple moved slightly, and the words came out from his lips.Liu Zonghe looked down at his hand, it was clearly muddy, but it seemed to be the blood that flowed from the stars that day.

You must hate me, Liu Zonghe thought so, his vision gradually blurred, and then the sky spun and he fell down in the mud with a plop.

Cheng Qinghan on the tower raised his eyebrows, and leaned over to the edge to see what was going on?As a result, Liu Zonghe lay motionless on the ground.

Shouldn't you be dizzy?Cheng Qinghan ordered the soldiers to go and check, and if they fainted, they would take them downstairs.

Cheng Qinghan walked vigorously, turned down the stairs, and saw Liu Zonghe being dragged into the city gate.

"Wake up!" He squatted down, reached out and patted the other person's face with the back of his palm.

There was no response, so he stretched out his fingers to check for breath, and he was still alive.Cheng Qinghan was a little puzzled, just about to stand up, suddenly his hands tightened, and the man opened his eyes.

"...I want to see Wen Shixing..."

Looking back to see that pale face, Cheng Qinghan was startled at first, and then wanted to withdraw his arm, but was grabbed by that man tightly.

"Since you're awake, go ahead and stand, I won't stop you." Cheng Qinghan withdrew his hand forcefully, but the other party couldn't twist it, panting and drooping his head.

The dizziness on his head made him sick, and after a long delay, Liu Zonghe supported the wall behind him and stood up slowly.

Cheng Qinghan propped his back, raised his chin, and signaled him to leave the city gate.

In the past, if he treated Liu Zonghe so arrogantly, he would definitely have a big fight with Cheng Qinghan.But no, he is begging for help now.

What a shame, but Liu Zonghe endured it.
