Chapter 14

Abao was looking for Qingyun when he got up early in the morning. He was not familiar with the Changle Palace in Shuodong. In the yard of Ling Zhaoling.Song Wuwu couldn't help being surprised for a while when he saw Abao crying, and finally wiped the tears from his face for him, and said a lot of words to coax the children, and then stopped crying.Abao didn't cry when he saw his own father being bitten to death by a mad woman, and he didn't cry when he was thrown out by the innkeeper, but he cried when he couldn't find Qingyun and Song Wuxin. Wuwu and Qingyun are more important existences than parents.

"Qingyun went to send a letter to Dad, and he will come back to find us in a few days." Song Wuyi said, "Don't cry, Bao, we are going to a very interesting place today."

From Shuodong to Muyan, you have to go east. After crossing the border and walking a short distance, you will see a courtyard. This courtyard was built by the elder brother for Zhaoling. In order to keep him away from Tianyou Palace and these painful things, Ling Zhaoling has been sent to this place by his elder brother since he can remember. This place is a paradise, backed by mountains and facing the water. Eldest brother often visits her every day. Come, come to ask about his book, but never mention the bad things in Tianyou Palace.

Even if the eldest brother doesn't say anything, he can still feel that the eldest brother is not happy every day. He can only memorize every poem and essay as much as possible. When the eldest brother asks questions, he must answer all the questions correctly. I feel that what I have paid is worthwhile, and I can keep my younger brother away from those bad things. Seeing him grow up like a normal child, and he is better, more sensible, and gentler than a normal child. It's not a failure.

The maids in the other courtyard came out to pick up the carriage, and when they saw Abao, they liked it very much. Abao kept hiding behind Song Wuyi, because he was not used to this place.Song Wuyi followed Ling Zhaoling into the yard, and an old man walked over. Half of his face was blocked by hair, and the other half of his face was covered with scars.

"This is my teacher, Chenmu." Ling Zhaoling said, "Don't be intimidated by him. Although he has scars on his face, he has a lot of knowledge."

"Young master, what are you talking about? I won't be so superficial." Song Wuyi smiled and glanced at Chenmu. , in that woman's memory, Song Wuyi has an extraordinary sensitivity to human faces, and anyone who has seen it will not remember it wrong.

Even though most of his face was covered by scars, it wasn't difficult to recognize, it was just that time made him look a little older, and Song Wuxin became more convinced that this person was the one who appeared in that woman's memory.If he is the person who appeared in that woman's memory, then he is the Lu family member, and the scar on his face was left by the burning and killing 18 years ago.

During the meal, Song Wuyi was inquiring about the old man's background, and Ling Zhaoling just told him everything.

"I heard from my mother that he escaped many years ago. My mother took him in because of her kindness. Later, I slowly found out that this person is not an ordinary person. He is very smart. My mother asked him to be my teacher. Later, my elder brother sent me here, and he followed me, do you think there is something wrong with him?"

"It was just a guess at first, but when I heard you say that he escaped, I am more convinced." Song Wuyi said, "I have to try again."

Chenmu narrowly escaped death, and he didn't know where to run along the way, he just walked when he saw the road, and was almost eaten by wild wolves in the mountains. When Muyan arrived, he was almost dead, if it wasn't for Ling Zhaoling If his mother saved him, he would definitely not live today, and he had never been treated badly when he was in Muyan, so he had already decided at that time that he would be a cow and a horse in this life, and he must repay this kindness well.

Song Wuwu went to look for that Chenmu after dinner, and didn't let Ling Zhaoling follow him, so he let him play with Abao in the yard. When Abao arrived in the other courtyard, he was very clingy to him. After what happened last time, he never left Followed him, for fear that he would disappear again in the blink of an eye.

He deliberately knocked over the ink on the table, and then dipped in the ink to draw the pattern of stars that he saw on the woman's cuff that night.

"Do you recognize it?" Song Wuwu had an aggressive air when he spoke, "Tell me everything you know."

Chenmu was startled by the sound of the ink overturning, and slowly calmed down again, as if he knew everything, he said calmly: "I knew that this day would come, I have been incognito for 18 years, this is my The old bone has lived enough, but it is a pity that I will not be able to repay my wife's kindness in the future."

"Eighteen years ago, not all of the Lu family members died. You were the only one, the only one who escaped from Jinluan Palace." Song Wuyi said, "As long as you explain clearly, maybe I can replace you in front of your son. Say goodbye, let you continue to repay your favor"

"I was the first general of the Lu family. I fought with King Bian in all directions. At that time, we had a lot of soldiers and horses. We won the first battle against Shuodong. At that time, I thought, as long as we win, King Bian will be like this." The only master in the world, I will have unlimited glory and wealth in the future, but when we fought for the second time, we only had 7 people left. Mu Yan's 7 soldiers and horses were all elite, and our 3 people were all left behind Those who came down were no match at all, but we still won the battle, because when Mu Yan's [-] troops actually went to the battlefield, only [-] were left. I began to feel that something was wrong, so I asked Bian Wang on the sidelines. There are spirit monkeys behind us to help"

"During the last battle, the spirit monkey suddenly rebelled. At that time, I was sent by the border king to defend the city, waiting to hear the good news of His Royal Highness's victory, but within three days, I saw a large number of soldiers and horses heading towards the Jinluan Palace. When I rushed over, I knew we had failed. I watched my brothers die and wounded, and the last fire burned the Jinluan Palace. Later, I met Mrs. Shan Wang and lived to this day with a sigh of relief."

"Then according to what you said, no one in the Lu family survived?" Song Wuyi said

"I don't know, today is the end of my 18-year heart disease. I know that I have killed many people in the four cities with King Bian. My crime is unforgivable. I only hope that you can forgive me and leave me a whole body." Chenmu seems to be relieved at this moment, even death is said lightly, the events of 18 years ago are not a day without tormenting him, those events have been brought out repeatedly in his memory, and today they have faded and broken.

﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋

The sky was gloomy, as if it was going to rain, Ling Zhaoling saw that Song Wuxin had come back, so he let go of Abao in his arms, and Abao ran towards Song Wuxin.

"Abao doesn't seem to like me very much and refuses to play with me. I asked a few girls to accompany her, but he ignored them. The only thing he said to me was to ask when you will come back." Ling Zhaoling stood get up.

Song Wuyi smiled: "Young master is usually gentle and amiable, why can't you do it now?"

"Tenderness and amiability are divided into people." Ling Zhaoling shook his folding fan, "What did you ask?"

"We're going to Liji tomorrow." Song Wuxin said, "I'm a little hungry right now, I'll tell you when I'm full."

"Dinner is ready, just waiting for you," Ling Zhaoling said
