Don't go back to hometown

Jiang Xianyu and Xie Cheng originally wanted to knock on a house to find out the news, but they saw a black shadow sneaking into a house at the end of the alley.

Jiang Xianyu immediately exchanged glances with Xie Cheng, and followed with concealed breath.

Before he got close, he smelled a bitter smell of medicine, and then saw the man in black stooping into the east wing.

Jiang Xianyu and Xie Cheng made a gesture, ready to dive to the roof of the east wing to have a look.

At this moment, in the west wing, Ren Xiaoyao, who was about to change his mask, heard a noise from the roof, paused immediately, turned his head and went straight to the east wing, and kicked open the door.

I saw an extra man in black in the room, and Li Mingya's acupoints had already been unlocked, and she hid behind the man in black as soon as she saw him.

Ren Xiaoyao's face was suddenly clouded.Without even thinking about it, he stepped forward and attacked the man in black.

The man in black responded quickly, forcing Ren Xiaoyao to distance himself from Li Mingya.

"The county master, go!"

Mingya found an opportunity and immediately ran towards the door.

"Stop!" Ren Xiaoyao hit the man in black on the chest with his palm, turned around and chased after Li Mingya.The man in black had a mouthful of fishy sweetness in his throat, but he still rushed towards Ren Xiaoyao and locked his neck.

Ren Xiaoyao twisted his wrist, and threw the man in black onto the small table. The table was instantly torn apart and the tea set shattered.

Li Mingya rushed out of the room amidst the loud noise, but bumped into someone head-on.

Ming Ya was taken aback, raised her head to see the person in front of her, and immediately threw herself into the opponent's arms with red eyes: "Brother Yu!"

"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Xianyu patted her on the back to comfort her, Xie Cheng beside him had already broken into the wing room, turned around and kicked Ren Xiaoyao who was stepping on the chest of the man in black.

Ren Xiaoyao turned sideways and met Jiang Xianyu who was outside the door, surprised that the place was found so quickly.

He knew that he had told Jiang Xianyu the address of Yong'an Lane in his previous life, but in fact the yard at the end of the lane was his real residence.Originally thought that the most dangerous place was the safest, even if Jiang Xianyu found the No. 13 house in Yong'an Lane, he would only fail, but he did not expect that he still came here.

Now he not only can't take Mingya away, but also puts his adoptive father in danger... Ren Xiaoyao dodges Xie Cheng's attack and doesn't want to fight with him, but he didn't expect Xie Cheng to press on every step of the way, with a murderous intent, as if he had made up his mind Determined to kill him.

Xie Cheng was really angry with Ren Xiaoyao to settle the case, even if he didn't have a weapon in his hand, he didn't hesitate to strike.

However, Xie Cheng couldn't use it in the wing room, so Xie Cheng fought him outside.The wounded Xu He also chased him out.

Jiang Xianyu turned to Mingya and asked, "Do you recognize this man in black?"

Ming Ya held back her tears and nodded: "He belongs to Xu Jing."

Jiang Xianyu nodded, stepped forward and dragged Xu He out of the battlefield, said "Look at Mingya", then turned his head and joined forces with Xie Cheng to attack Ren Xiaoyao.

He has a tacit understanding with Xie Cheng for many years, and without words, he can make Ren Xiaoyao suffer from the enemy, and he is overwhelmed.

Soon Ren Xiaoyao was swept in the abdomen by Jiang Xianyu's cross leg, flew out and hit the wall, and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Ming Ya exclaimed in a low voice, and hid behind Xu He in fright.

Ren Xiaoyao knew that his stubborn and stubborn appearance had frightened her, so he spat out a mouthful of blood in embarrassment, got up and attacked Jiang Xianyu again.

Suddenly, a short arrow flew out from the main room, which had been silent all the time, and shot straight at Jiang Xianyu.

"careful!"

Xie Cheng was the first to notice the sound of piercing through the air, turned around and kicked the short arrow, and at the same time took over Ren Xiaoyao's attack from rushing towards Jiang Xianyu.

Jiang Xianyu was startled, and turned to look at the main room.

Mingya remembered what "Xie Yancheng" said, and reminded in a low voice, "It seems to be his adoptive father inside."

"Father?"

Jiang Xianyu had never heard Ren Xiaoyao mention that he had a adoptive father in his previous life, but at this time, the one who can take Ren Xiaoyao with him to escape must be someone very important to him.

But hiding in the house and shooting cold arrows really made Jiang Xianyu disdainful.

Jiang Xianyu saw that Xie Cheng was able to handle the battle against Ren Xiaoyao, so he didn't intervene anymore, and turned to be vigilant against the cold arrows in the main room.

He wants to see how long the other party can hide inside.

At this moment, the gate of the small courtyard burst open, and Xu Jing, with an unshaven beard and a haggard look, appeared at the gate with Gyeonggi Guard.

"Mingya!"

Mingya saw his eyes turn red, and tears instantly blurred his vision.Xu Jing rushed forward and hugged her.

Just in time!Jiang Xianyu saw that the Gyeonggi Guards following Xu Jing had joined the battle to besiege Ren Xiaoyao, so he immediately stepped forward and kicked open the door of the main room.

The moment the door was opened, another short arrow was shot from the room, and Jiang Xianyu turned sideways to escape in danger: "Get out of the way!"

Xu Jing, who hugged Mingya to comfort her, shrank his pupils, and kicked her around while hugging her, kicking the short arrow away.

Turning around and looking into the room, I saw a thin middle-aged man sitting on a wooden wheelchair, the sleeve arrow on his arm was aimed at Jiang Xianyu, his face was pale, but his expression was a bit sinister.

Xu Jing turned around and kissed Mingya on the forehead, then pushed her behind his confidant: "Protect her."

He himself approached the main room.

Jiang Xianyu stood by the door, looked at the sick man in the room, and asked, "Ren Xiaoyao's adoptive father?"

Ren Su looked at him sullenly, and squeezed out a sentence between his teeth: "A descendant of the Jiang family?"

Jiang Xianyu raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, he didn't expect Ren Xiaoyao's adoptive father to guess his life experience at a glance.

But he didn't recognize the other party, and he didn't want to be at a disadvantage because of this, so he asked: "Ren Xiaoyao desperately worked for King Zhong, is it because of you?"

Ren Su didn't answer, but looked behind him.

Xu Jing came to the door, stared at Ren Su for a long time, and suddenly asked: "The descendant of General Su?"

Ren Su's pupils trembled, and he aimed at Jiang Xianyu's arrow and deviated from the direction.

"General Su?" Jiang Xianyu asked.

"In the second year of Wenqing, General Su Renwu was beheaded for cooperating with the enemy and treason, and all the nine clans were executed." Xu Jing looked at Ren Su, "You should be the second son of General Su, the one who fled to Beiyi at that time."

Ren Su also guessed Xu Jing's identity based on Xu Jing's appearance and the government, put down his arms and smiled sarcastically: "I also want to thank Xu Yushi for letting me go."

Jiang Xianyu frowned: "Injustice?"

Xu Jing nodded: "The crown prince was deposed, one of the reasons is that the case was unclear and he wronged General Su."

As for whether it was intentional or deceived at the time, it is not known.

Jiang Xianyu thought that Emperor Wenqing still wanted to pass on the throne to the abolished prince, and his hatred for Emperor Wenqing increased a little in his heart.

He did not deny that Emperor Wenqing had indeed made some political achievements over the years, but in terms of eradicating dissidents, strengthening imperial power, and establishing a crown prince, he was really not ordinary selfish, confused, and unscrupulous.

However, since the Su family has been rehabilitated, why does this person still work for King Zhong?

Ren Su seemed to have given up resisting, and sneered: "The dog emperor really has a lot of life. So many people are looking forward to his death, but he can still get a dog's life back."

The injustice case of the Su family was clearly set up by the dog emperor to regain military power, but in the end he dismissed the matter lightly when the prince was abolished, and treated the lives of hundreds of people in the Su family as worthless.

And he narrowly escaped death, and the only purpose of returning to Dacheng was to take the life of the dog emperor. It didn't matter which prince became the emperor, it just happened to be rescued by people loyal to the king, and they used each other.

Later, he took a fancy to Zhong Wang's tyranny and stupidity, and wanted to use him to become an existence under one person and above ten thousand people, and then indulge Zhong Wang to become a tyrant, so that the world would die!

Ren Xiaoyao was an orphan he picked up when he came back from Beiyi. At that time, his legs were crippled and he was suffering from chronic illness. Seeing that that kid Ren Dabao had a talent for learning martial arts, he adopted him as his adopted son and gave him a bite to eat. , taught him martial arts.

But he didn't expect this child to be kind enough to repay him, vaguely knowing that he bears blood and deep feud, and he sacrificed himself to serve him.

Outside the courtyard, Xie Cheng and Jingjiwei teamed up to capture Ren Xiaoyao. The latter was pressed and knelt on the ground with blood spilling from his lips. After struggling for a while, his eyes fixed on Mingya.

Mingya hid behind Gyeonggiwei, avoiding his sight.

Ren Xiaoyao suddenly laughed, quite insane.

Ren Su watched this scene through the narrow door and closed her eyes sadly.

Xu Jing gestured to call for Gyeonggi Guard, tied Ren Su to a wheelchair and escorted him out.

Jiang Xianyu took one last look at Ren Su, then turned around and walked towards Xie Cheng and Ren Xiaoyao.

Ren Xiaoyao heard the sound of the rolling wheelchair, stopped laughing and looked over, and suddenly called Jiang Xianyu, looking at him with scarlet eyes: "Let go of my adoptive father, I will kill or cut as you please."

Jiang Xianyu was slightly surprised, and looked at Ren Su.Ren Su also didn't expect that, his expression was somewhat moved and somewhat compassionate, he was silent for a moment, then suddenly bent his lips and smiled at Ren Xiaoyao: "No need for Xiaoyao, I have lived enough for my father."

Before that, he still wanted to escape from the city and find a place to live for a few more years, vowing to see Emperor Wenqing die before he died.But now he felt that it was unnecessary, he had had enough of lingering on his last breath.

The situation has changed, and there is no possibility for him to disturb the situation.

Gyeonggi Guards pushed Ren Su out of the small courtyard, and took Ren Xiaoyao into custody.

When passing by Jiang Xianyu's side, Ren Xiaoyao suddenly stopped in his tracks, grinned at him with bloody mouth, "I'm sorry I didn't die by your hands."

"I originally wanted to deal with you myself—" Jiang Xianyu paused, then glanced at Mingya, "but now it's unnecessary."

Ren Xiaoyao looked at Mingya, who was guarded by Xu Jing, and his eyes were stabbed fiercely.He turned his gaze away, and asked Jiang Xianyu as if looking for abuse: "You don't hate me?"

"The previous life is over. It is enough for you to be punished for the mistakes you have committed in this life. I don't have that much time to hate you."

What he said was indifferent and reserved, Xu Jing and Li Mingya only thought that he had an enmity with "Xie Yancheng" in the past, and now the "past affairs" are over, and the grievances follow the wind.

Ren Xiaoyao laughed self-deprecatingly, his vision was blurred, and he suddenly didn't know why he lived these two lives, and what was the meaning of it.

Jingjiwei escorted the two of them away, and Xu Jing also asked Xu He to come to the carriage, intending to take Li Mingya home.

Li Mingya turned her head with red eyes: "I won't go, I have a home of my own."

Xu Jing felt distressed and apologetic, and said very awkwardly: "I'm sorry... I, I admit that I didn't do well enough, and you should hate me..."

"But my love for you has never changed. King Yi also promised not to hurt your father's life and not to blame you. This is the only thing I can fight for you now." Followed by flushing, the voice choked up.

He raised his hand and gently wiped her tears: "It doesn't matter if you don't want to go home with me now, I'll send you to the palace first, and after the matter is over, the scenery will welcome you, okay?"

Li Mingya breathed in and held back her tears, without saying good or bad, she turned and got into the carriage.

Seeing that Ming Ya hadn't looked at him, Jiang Xianyu knew that she must be angry too. For a while, she really didn't know how to explain it. She could only watch Xu Jing riding a horse and escorting the carriage away, and sighed helplessly.

Xie Cheng beside him held his hand, "Let's go home too."

Jiang Xianyu smiled, clasped fingers with him, and said, "I'm hungry, let's go to Shenghanlou to eat antique soup."

"it is good."

……

On the first day of May in the 19th year of Wenqing, Emperor Wenqing, at the request of his courtiers, issued an imperial edict to make Li Yi the crown prince and order him to act as an agent of the government.

At the same time, the Jiedu envoys of Shandong and Shaanxi also received urgent secret letters to arrest the family members of Prince Rui and Prince Zhong who remained in the fief and send them to the capital for trial.

The next day, Shen Feng, who was sent to Jinling, escorted Duan's family to Beijing, where they were imprisoned and sentenced to death.

After the Dragon Boat Festival, Xu Yushi brought up the old case of Tianxin Mansion again, listing many doubts, arguing that Emperor Mingren took poison by mistake, and Jiang Weifeng was not the victim.There was an uproar all over the court for a while, and Prince Li Yi had to order to re-investigate Jiang Weifeng's conspiracy.

On the other hand, Xie Cheng finally got Li Yi to let go of his promise of a one-month vacation, and arranged a passenger ship with Jiang Xianyu, and took the Jiang family back to Yangzhou.

It was May, when the willows were lush and the peaches and plums were ripe.

Jiang Xianyu bought two baskets of peaches at the pier and carried them onto the boat, but when he turned around, he saw Xie Cheng standing at the bow of the boat staring at the majestic imperial city in the distance.

He casually picked the reddest peach and took out the dagger that Xie Cheng had given him earlier. While peeling the peach, he asked him, "What's the matter? Are you reluctant to leave?"

He cut off a small piece of peach meat with a dagger and fed it to Xie Cheng's mouth: "Why don't you stay and report directly to the Imperial Academy. His Royal Highness will definitely wish for it, and maybe he will directly give you a promotion."

Xie Cheng bit off the piece of peach meat, stretched out his hand to embrace him from behind, and rested his chin on his shoulder: "I don't have any obsession with being an official, but the Xie family wants to enter the imperial court, so I will take the lead and wait for Ning Ze and the others to make a fortune." Now, I can resign from office and go back to hiding, and be a wealthy idler."

Jiang Xianyu sealed his mouth with a peach: "Don't lie to me, the strategy of rejuvenating the country you wrote cannot be realized in ten or twenty years. How could His Royal Highness be willing to let you go?"

Xie Chengmo paused for a moment, "If he doesn't let me go, I will leave. As the saying goes, 'The royal family is unkind, the heavenly family is unlucky', 'A companion is like a tiger', today is the best example."

"Similarly, we can't expect the prince to be as sincere and consistent as before... So I handed over the strategy of rejuvenating the country to him. How to use it is his business and has nothing to do with me."

Jiang Xianyu was surprised: "You don't want the eternal reputation?"

"No." Xie Cheng kissed his earlobe, "The eternal beauty is in my arms, this life is enough."

After the Jiang family's old case was retried, news spread that the young master of the Ping An Escort Bureau who rescued His Highness the Prince from the snow disaster in the south of the Yangtze River was a descendant of the Jiang family.

It is heard that this young master is not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also has the same beauty as the former Empress Dowager Jiang. If she is a woman, she must also be the most beautiful in Kyoto, and she just matches His Highness the Crown Prince.

Jiang Xianyu's ears were slightly red, but his mouth did not show weakness: "It's so sour, you don't insist on going back to Yangzhou because of those rumors, do you?"

"Well, I mind."

When he admitted so decisively, Jiang Xianyu felt distressed, and explained: "Oh, Xiao Jiu and I are both inferior, how is it possible!"

Xie Cheng took advantage of no one around to bite him on the cheek: "It's good that you know."

"What are you two doing?"

Jiang Baizhou's voice suddenly appeared behind the two of them, and Jiang Xianyu immediately separated from Xie Cheng, awkwardly holding the dagger and Taozi, and said with an idea: "Split the peach!"

Jiang Baizhou: "..."

You don't have to tell me so directly.

Xie Cheng chuckled: "Well, divide the peaches."

Jiang Xianyu came to his senses, his cheeks blushed, and he held up half a peach to make amends in embarrassment: "Brother, do you want to try it too?"

Jiang Baizhou thanked Bumin, turned around and went back to the cabin.

The passenger ship sailed away from the pier, leaving the majestic imperial city behind, and returned home with a boat full of people.

……

One month later, Emperor Wenqing died of illness. Prince Li Yi ascended the throne, changed his reign name to Shengyuan, and added civil and military envoys to select talents for the court.

A few days later, Xie Cheng received a new letter of appointment.Today there is a saying: "In the past, Zhou officials collected poems for the king, so that the king could observe the people's sentiments, know the gains and losses, and understand the effects of government orders. Now I have appointed Aiqing to collect poems for me, so that I can understand the disadvantages of the world, so as to repair the strategy of rejuvenating the country."

Another midsummer year, Xie Cheng and Jiang Xianyu fought horses and swords, and collected poems for the king.

"Let's go, didn't you say you're going to travel the world?"

"You are on official business." Jiang Xianyu casually waved his horsewhip, turned to glance at him, "You are honest, you asked Xiao Jiu for this poetry picker, right?"

"So what? In the previous life, I couldn't roam the world with you and enjoy the mountains and rivers together. Isn't it good to make up for it now?"

Jiang Xianyu blinked, bent his lips to suppress a smile: "I don't care, anyway, I have already seen the best scenery in the world."

Xie Cheng frowned when he heard this, and turned his head just in time to meet his smiling eyes, filling his figure.

The end of the world is you, the hometown is you, the best scenery in the world is you.
