Homecoming through online games

=====================

Ye Mu had some assumptions and precautions about the place he was going to, maybe it would be some hidden house, maybe it would be a certain mansion, maybe it was just a secluded place, but there was one place that was definitely not what he expected within.

It was already late at night, but the hustle and bustle here was far more lively than during the day.The sound of silk and bamboo is endless, the ears are full of sweet words, the scent of balm is blowing on the face, and the eyes are full of red and pink.The half-covered women dexterously circled among the guests like swimming fish, cuddling and chatting with each other with clever smiles.

The land of fireworks.

Silently tore off the soft and boneless snow-like arms, and dodged to avoid the woman who was snuggling up with a coquettish smile. After getting out of the layers of makeup, Ye Mu was led by the warrior to a box on the second floor. The sound of singing and music can be heard from it.

The warrior knocked on the door several times regularly, and bowed outside the door to report: "My lord, Mr. Ye is here."

The carved wooden door was pulled open, pouring out the smell of spices mixed with the smell of alcohol in the room. The woman's lingering singing voice became clear with the sound of the pipa. Standing inside the door, the man dressed as a warrior took a look at Ye Mu and cupped his fists to avoid it. On the side, said: "Young Master Ye, please."

Ye Mu walked into the private room, and immediately saw the man in Chinese clothes holding Meiji in his arms and half carrying the flagon.

Five beauties surrounded him, Xiaoyi served him, he raised his eyes and saw Ye Mu walking in, he laughed loudly, and pushed away the beauties on his lap who were about to feed a peeled grape into his mouth , beckoned and said: "Finally here, come and sit."

It's like greeting an old friend you've known for a long time.

This man looks to be in his thirties, with an extremely upright and handsome face, as if he has brewed a full-bodied fine wine, and has accumulated an intoxicating charm after years. Even such unrestrained behavior, he has an uninhibited attitude Merry.

Ye Mu walked to the empty desk on the left of the man and sat down, and Meiji obediently came over to serve wine, fruit cakes and other things.The diva who was sitting on one side sang a song, then changed another tune and began to babble with her lips open.The man picked up the wine glass, raised his hand to this side, and said: "I know your name, where you come from, and why you came to Beijing, but you don't know who I am, and why I invited you here, this glass, right?" Make an apology." After saying that, she raised her head and drank it dry, she lit the bottom of the glass, and Meggie, who was leaning against his lap, immediately picked up the hip flask and filled it up again.

The man looked over at the wine glass, and said: "I am Jian Lin, inherited the shadow of my ancestors, and succeeded the prince of Anshun. I invited Mr. Ye to come here because I heard that Mr. Ye came from the south and wanted to inquire about the situation in the south. In a hurry, I am laughing at the bad hospitality."

Jane... This surname is really rare.Ye Mu looked at Jian Lin, ignored Mei Ji who was snuggled up by nephrite and warm fragrance, and asked, "What kind of matter does the lord want to ask?"

Knowing his name, knowing that he came from the south, and knowing why he came to Beijing, the other party may say this just to intimidate, but the other party obviously does not know that his experience is quite special.In this world, there are only a few people who know his name, and among them, there are only three people who know that he will come to the capital to look for Ye Ming and Ye Nuan.

It was clear at a glance from Luo Ying's expression and reaction before coming here, and where Jian Lin's information came from.

When he was not around, Luo Ying took good care of Ye Ming and Ye Nuan. Although the children's emotions fluctuated violently when they reunited, their faces were healthy and rosy, and their clothes were clean and warm. For this, he was grateful to her.This time, he didn't care about it, and he would truthfully tell Jian Lin's inquiry as long as it didn't involve privacy.

This looks more like a trial.

Lowering his eyes, Ye Mu thought of another thing.

The relationship between He Liang and his classmate is not as close as it seems.

While Ye Mu was sitting in the pile of red powder concentrating on dealing with the situation, setting the table full of delicious food, someone was struggling on the verge of life and death just for one bite of food.

In the belly of the mountain, there are still some small gaps, some places can barely squeeze half of the body, and there is no light everywhere.

Aliu struggled to squeeze out from a narrow gap, bent down, and handed two small fish with long fingers to the mouth of a head protruding from the wall, swallowed, and tried to look away from the fish Move away and whisper, "You eat."

The eyes he got from the succulent made him vaguely distinguish between living and dead things in the dark, but he was clumsy and kept guarding the thin underground water stream. After working for a long time, he only caught this one. two small fish.

When the mountainside collapsed, he was huddled in a stone room and was guarded by a demon guard. In his panic, he didn't know what happened, so he was beaten until he fainted.When he woke up, half of his body was buried in the soil. There was no light, no sound, and even the air was terribly thin.Digging himself out, he stumbled and groped in the dark, like a headless fly, he could only hear his own panting and heartbeat, which were magnified and magnified in the boundless silence.

I don't know how long it took, but when he was about to go crazy amidst the beating of his heart, Youmeng Mo's eyes let him see a glimmer of light.

It was the light of emotion that only living creatures had. It was hazy, but it was extremely bright and dazzling to him. He dug frantically, and when he came there, he hugged the head and cried loudly.

Hungry as he was, he felt that the head needed something to eat.Its body was tightly suppressed by the collapsed soil, which was also mixed with large and small gravel. He dug for a long time with bare hands, but only a small area was dug.To dig out the whole thing is definitely not something that can be done in a short while.

He wants it to live, he needs it to live.

The head moved, turned slightly, opened its mouth to bite the two fish, and swallowed them.

For the first time it uttered a syllable, vaguely tonal, of human speech:

"water."

In the twilight of the morning, Ye Mu left the Goulan courtyard, which was gradually quieting down, with a full body.

After he left, Jian Lin also left the flower building with the famous woman in his arms. A luxurious carriage drove over, carrying the two of them and drove away.

In less than half an hour, when he arrived at Anshun Prince's Mansion, Jian Lin called a servant over and asked him to lead the woman to settle down, while he went directly to the study.

A young man was leaning against the window, concentrating on a book. When he heard footsteps, he looked up, put the book down, stood up, poured a cup of tea, and asked, "Teacher, how is it?"

Jian Lin took a sip of the overnight tea, twitched the corner of his mouth in disgust, put it aside calmly, and said seriously: "Your Highness, this person is available."

And Ye Mu, who returned to the small courtyard, had just jumped onto the wall, and his complexion changed drastically when he swept across the courtyard, his feet rushed out like an arrow and landed beside Ye Nuan, and asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong with Nuan Nuan?"

Ye Nuan was lying in the middle of the open space, sleeping soundly, but her whole body was covered with palm-thick translucent black crystals, which seemed to seal her whole body into a large block of black crystals.Ye Ming stood by her side, confronting Luo Ying fiercely, holding a medicine bottle in his hand, and the green snake was coiled around Ye Nuan, voicing letters with its head held high, its triangular cone-like snake head turning around, its eyes were cold. Cold fierce light.

Luo Ying, who was standing a few meters away, saw Ye Mu and shouted in relief, "You're back." Knowing how easily the current scene could be misunderstood, she explained very quickly, "After you leave, they both Said to wait for you to come back, I persuaded them to go to sleep first, but just now I heard the noise and went out and found them sneaking out. Ye Nuan was already in this situation when I saw it. Ye Ming never let me come closer to check, and asked him what No answer. This situation has lasted for nearly half an hour, you should see how Ye Nuan is doing."

The hem of the clothes tightened, before Ye Mu asked, Ye Ming immediately leaned over when he saw him, grabbed his hem and hurriedly said: "Daddy! Nuan Nuan is fine, don't let anyone get close to her!"

Without further questioning, Ye Mu responded first: "Okay." He looked at Luo Ying and said directly, "Sorry, Miss Luo, I have something to ask Ming'er, can you please stay away?"

Luo Ying nodded, looked at Ye Nuan worriedly, and said, "I'll go out for a walk and come back in about an hour."

After marking Luo Ying, seeing that the green dot was indeed far away from the vicinity, Ye Mu asked Ye Ming: "Ming'er, what's going on?"

Ye Ming raised her face and said seriously: "Daddy, Nuan Nuan is going to be an adult."

adult?

Ye Mu's first reaction was to think of the changes in Ye Cang.He stabilized his mind, squatted down, looked at Ye Ming and asked, "Does Ming'er know how long it takes Nuan Nuan to reach adulthood? Is there any harm to the body?"

Ye Ming frowned hard and thought for a while, then said, "Ming'er doesn't know how long it will take, but Ming'er remembers, it should be a good thing to be an adult." He rubbed his eyes, yawned a little, and said , "But you must guard it well and not be touched by others, otherwise your adult personality will be affected by that person! Ming'er doesn't want Nuan Nuan to be like others, but if she is like Daddy, it's fine."

Ye Mu silently turned his head to look at the little green snake on Ye Nuan's body, and asked, "...if you get touched by a snake, it shouldn't matter, right?"

"What?" Ye Ming's eyes widened immediately, he fumbled for space in his sleeves, turned his head to look in a daze, picked up the little snake in a hurry, and stuffed it back into his sleeves.

"It should...it doesn't matter." His eyes wandered for a while, and he said with little confidence.

It sounds really disturbing.

After a little imagination, Ye Mu began to build himself mentally.Think about it, having a snake beauty as a daughter is actually pretty good... right?

Looking at his hands, Ye Mu felt that out of prudence, it's better not to touch Ye Nuan rashly, otherwise God knows if there will be any unpredictable effects due to the conflict of different personalities.

"Will it affect you if you touch it with gloves on?" Ye Mu asked.

"This Ming'er doesn't know either." Ye Ming shook his head, "Daddy, it's better to let Nuan Nuan sleep on the wet ground, so that he will grow up faster."

"...Do you need to bask in the sun during the day?" Ye Mu asked.

"Basking in the sun?" Ye Ming thought for a while, then laughed, and said, "Daddy is really thoughtful, this Nuan Nuan will definitely like it."

"..."

Ye Mu began to suspect that his children were actually flower spirits or grass spirits.

However, it doesn't matter.

He patted Ye Ming's head and said, "Daddy made a note, Nuannuan is here to take care of her, so Ming'er should go back to sleep obediently."

"Okay." Ye Ming nodded, and said seriously with a delicate face, "Daddy has worked hard. When Ming'er wakes up, I will come and change Daddy's shift."

"Sleep with you in peace." Ye Mu watched, and suddenly poked Ye Ming's serious face with his hand, and retracted it nonchalantly, "When Dad is tired, I will ask Ming'er."

Soft, feels good.

Blinking and blinking, Ye Ming touched his face and was stunned, obediently said: "Okay, Daddy." But he didn't go back to the room immediately, seemed to think about it, came over and hugged Ye Mu's arm, and rubbed his face against it Rubbing—like being coquettish, then turned around contentedly, yawned and went back to the house.

this little guy.

Ye Mu took out the gauntlet from the package and put it on, wandered around the courtyard, selected the terrain, and carefully carried Ye Nuan to the grass near the base of the north wall.

Then he sat down on one side and thought about it.

Originally, he planned to take Ye Ming and Ye Nuan to Xiliang to settle down, and then go back to Changyi to see Ye Cang, but Ye Nuan's current situation is obviously not suitable for long-distance travel, it seems that he can only find a place in the capital temporarily Stay here first.The opening of the warehouse solved his financial problem—thanks to the currency system in the game, the basic transaction unit there is ingots, and silver and copper coins are only used as odds and ends. Renting a house is absolutely no problem.

As for that Anshun Wang Jianlin, he still couldn't figure out the other party's purpose for a while, so he put aside thinking about it for the time being.

Not to mention how Ye Mu said goodbye to Luo Ying and moved to another clean house. Every day, he diligently moved Ye Nuan to choose a sleeping place to bask in the sun, and dragged Ye Ming, who was lazy and unwilling to move, to exercise together. , By the way, study and study the minutiae functions of the game system, practice the various Qisha Temple moves obtained, and recall the various histories and changes in the game.On the other side, a certain force in the imperial court, who was watching anxiously, finally got the result of what they had been waiting for for a long time.

Hua Heng, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the dynasty, faced his teacher, and slowly said the result:

"Teacher, Emperor Father has already decided to temporarily abandon the southern part of the Central Plains with Jiang as the boundary, and will not send troops to support it."

"Judging from the recent transfer of generals, father, he is probably going to attack the Beidou camp."

When the father was still sensible, he had discussed the six sects with him.In the eyes of the father, the Baicao Hall is not to be tampered with because of its medical principles and poisons; the Yinyu Tower is far away from the southern barbarians, so it is not worth worrying about; Battalion, generals and counselors, emerge in endlessly, or chaotic court; Seven Killing Hall, assassination concealed, control information, shake the imperial power.

They have also thought hard about how to nibble and subdue these two forces that are free from the imperial power without causing a backlash, and they have already laid out the chess pieces, listed plans, and prepared for the next one. Several generations of emperors slowly laid out their plans step by step.They firmly believe that even if it takes dozens or even hundreds of years, the goal of unifying imperial power can eventually be achieved.

But his father was too anxious.

His once wise and wise father, as he got older day by day, his suspicion and desire to control increased, but he seemed to no longer remember the teachings he had given him.

At that time, he was still a little kid, his still young and handsome father hugged him on his lap, laughed and pointed at the map confidently, saying:

"Heng'er, you have to remember that this world belongs to me, and it will be yours in the future; this people are my people, and they will be yours in the future. Ze be the common people, benefit the world!"

He can still remember his father's hearty laughter, shining eyes, and vigorous face at that time.At that time, in his little heart, his father was all his worship and belief.

The statue of the god in my heart was shattered when I was shocked to hear the news of the destruction of the Palace of Seven Kills.

He was so shocked that he lost his composure and ran directly to ask his father, but he was thrown in the face by the memorial, and the man roared at him furiously: "Idiot! Those who disrespect the imperial power will have to die. It's just a bunch of unsightly monsters! I entrusted this matter to your younger brother because of the benevolence of a woman like you, you dare to question Yu Zhen! Go back and reflect on yourself! If you don’t know where you are wrong, you should give up the position of prince as soon as possible. Alright! In case the Qianqiu foundation is destroyed by your hands, I will have no face to face my ancestors in the future!"

The half of his face that was thrown was in hot pain, but it was less than one percent of his inner turmoil.In the same bright sunshine as he remembered when he was a child, he stood there with his face covered, looking at the man in front of him who was roaring wantonly without dignity, and for the first time found that there were already subtle lines on the face that was always firm in his memory. Fine wrinkles, that always tall and straight figure, has become slightly rickety, and the eyes that were once bright as morning stars have also become cloudy.

His father is old.

So he began to be cautious, step by step, using all the knowledge he had learned from his father and mastered from other great Confucians, to get to know the father in front of him again.And that afternoon when he was a child was deeply in his heart.

Father, you have changed, but it doesn't matter.

Heng'er remembers the you who used to be, your ideals, your ambitions, and every word of your teachings are all in my heart.

—I will stop you.
