Leaving early rather than late, Kong Tan held a farewell banquet at noon, and started to see people off after eating.

He prepared two boats, one to send the red boas to the west, and the other to send You Xiao and Miao Sheng to the east.

You Xiao found the old housekeeper Quan Shu and two careful maids to accompany them, Kong Tan arranged four special guards to escort them all the way, Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian felt at ease.

Lu Qiqin's title deed is left with Kong Tan, and after he sells it, he will entrust someone to deliver the bank note to You Xiao.Zhuo Yingxian looked at the belongings in You Xiao's hands, and after a rough calculation, it was indeed enough for them to live without worry for a few years.When I and Nie Yunhan go to Tingzhou to meet them in the future, I will naturally want to earn money to make a living, and it shouldn't be a problem to support the whole family.

When setting off, Kong Tan prepared four carriages, one of which was particularly spacious to hold the ice coffin.

The four servants carefully carried the ice coffin out of the wing, and You Xiao followed closely beside him, repeatedly asking: "Be careful, be careful, don't knock it!"

Miao Sheng was lying in the ice coffin, his face was revealed through the translucent cover.All the needles that Dai Yansheng gave him were removed, and he looked as if he was asleep, with a beautiful face, fair complexion, and the corners of his lips were slightly upturned, as if he was smiling.

Zhuo Yingxian pulled You Xiao aside: "Everyone's hands and feet are light, don't be so nervous."

Standing by the carriage, Nie Yunhan saw a very familiar iron cabinet under the pine tree at the entrance of the courtyard. It was half the size of the one that housed him last time. He probably could only curl up in it.

There are a few holes drilled in the iron cabinet, so that people inside can see the outside, so it is self-evident who is in it.

The ice coffin was lifted in front of the iron cabinet, and the people in the iron cabinet obviously became restless, but they couldn't speak, they could only make a whimpering sound, which was not loud, and few people could notice it.

You Xiao has sharp eyes. When he followed the ice coffin out of the yard, he looked back at the cabinet in doubt. He seemed to understand something, and said loudly on purpose: "When uncle wakes up, he will be able to forget the past and live a new life, too. Fortunately."

Zhuo Ying patted his head and said with a smile: "I hope that when your father and I went to look for you, he would already be awake."

"Of course!" You Xiao looked at the iron cabinet and said firmly, "He will definitely wake up soon."

The sound from the iron cabinet became long and bleak, as if crying. The eyes of the person in the cabinet were glued to the hole, staring at the ice coffin with bright water, the whites of the eyes were covered with red bloodshot eyes, as if they were about to stare them out. Walk with Miao Sheng on the ice coffin.

Nie Yunhan said to Ling Qingbi next to him: "Your elder brother is ruthless enough to kill people, I can't even do this."

"Only he understands the pain of losing a sweetheart." Ling Qingbi clasped his hands, with a lazy expression on his face, "But this matter, you call it cruel, it is cruel, but does Duan Zhanmei not want to see Miao Sheng for the last time? Let his wish come true."

After finishing speaking, he sighed again: "Love is a gut-piercing poison, I won't touch it."

"Not necessarily." Nie Yunhan looked at Zhuo Yingxian who was standing under the tree next to him. The figure was as tall and straight as a bamboo. Gold, looks radiant.

Zhuo Yingxian sensed the other person's gaze, turned around, and gave him a childish smile, his smile was like a flower, and his spirit was radiant.

Nie Yunhan's heart was beating happily, and he said triumphantly: "Have you heard that line in the poem? 'If you have to be like your eyes, why die? I wish I could be a mandarin duck and not envy immortals'. People like you don't understand it."

After finishing speaking, he walked towards Zhuo Yingxian, Ling Qingbi curled his lips in disdain, and muttered to his back: "Smell!"

After placing the ice coffin, the carriage moved forward slowly, and everyone went away with it.

The man in the iron cabinet looked at the carriage gradually disappearing from sight, his throat was rumbling, and he called out in a difficult and obscure way: "Sheng...er..."

,

Han Ting was seriously injured and didn't come out to see him off. Kong Tan and Ling Qingbi brought some people to the floating ferry where the peacock waited for the night. Nie Yunhan found out that Kong Tan had prepared a big boat for them. There were seven or eight rooms on the boat. It is magnificent, but it can also be called spacious and bright, and it must be very comfortable to live in.

Besides the boatman, Kong Tan also arranged for a cook and several servants to board the boat together, serving them daily and eating along the way.Several storage rooms are packed to the brim, and there are even ice mirrors for storing fresh vegetables, fruits and vegetables.

When Xiang Yu Shu saw the treatment, his eyes lit up immediately: "Brother Kong is so kind, we don't have to suffer any more along the way!"

Nie Yunhan hurriedly cupped his hands to Kong Tan: "This is really costly, thank you Brother Kong."

Kong Tan smiled and waved his hands: "Money is something outside of the body, besides, I owed a lot to the red boa a few days ago, and after much deliberation, I can only make up for it."

"Brother Kong was taken advantage of by others because of his loyalty. It was an unintentional mistake. Please stop blaming yourself, or Brother Han will feel very sorry." Zhuo Yingxian also bowed to Kong Tan, "You have taken good care of Xiao Er, He also arranged a place for him, and Ying Xian expressed his gratitude on Xiao Er's behalf, if anyone needs our help in the future, please feel free to ask, I will never hesitate to say goodbye."

You Xiao learned how to bow together, and said in a childlike voice, "Xiao Er will definitely keep Brother Kong's kindness in mind!"

Ling Qingbi patted Nie Yunhan on the shoulder: "Don't be polite, you are still injured, and you don't know what's going on when you arrive at Guiliang Mansion. Naturally, you have to take good care of it on the boat. You don't need it, your little beauty..."

Seeing Zhuo Ying's leisurely and round eyes looking at him unkindly, he chuckled a few times and changed his words politely: "...Brother Zhuo needs to pay more attention to his injuries. .”

Zhuo Yingxian replied flatly: "Thank you Ling Er for your concern."

Seeing that he is still hostile to Ling Qingbi until now, Nie Yunhan finds it very interesting. Firstly, it feels sweet to hold grudges for this person, and secondly, it is very interesting to see the two of them facing each other and Ling Qingbi being deflated every time. There is no intention of intermediary adjustment at all.

Ling Qingbi scratched his head embarrassingly, feeling aggrieved.

Didn't I still get stabbed by you?Is it even?

Oh yes, he also has my knife wound on his shoulder—tsk, this account is not clear.

What Kong Tan prepared for You Xiao was a small boat, but it also had enough food and clothing. Since the journey to Tingzhou was farther, the dry food prepared for him was more abundant.

After the four special guards carried the ice coffin to the boat and set it up, they came out and stood on the deck to signal to Kong Tan.

Seeing this situation, Nie Yunhan said, "It's a long way to go, Xiao Er, let's go first."

You Xiao cried and hugged his waist with one hand, and Zhuo Yingxian with the other: "Father! Brother Yingxian, I can't bear you!"

This child, who usually acts like a little adult, now returns to his true nature, like a child.

It's a pity that a heavy burden is on him, and now he has to take a Miao Sheng who doesn't know when he will wake up to live under the fence. It's really distressing to think about it.

Zhuo Yingxian squatted down and wiped his tears: "We also miss you."

"Don't cry, a man bleeds but doesn't cry." Nie Yunhan also squatted in front of You Xiao, and said with a smile, "You stay in Tingzhou well, wait for me to go back, and I will happily marry you brother Ying Xian!"

Zhuo Yingxian stroked You Xiao's head, and said something in his words: "Yes, if you see any interesting gadgets and save them up, it's like saving up your father's dowry. It doesn't matter if it's worth it or not, it's better than your heart."

With tears in his eyes, You Xiao blushed and looked at them suspiciously: "Which one of you two will marry whom?"

Zhuo Yingxian and Nie Yunhan said in unison, pointing at each other: "I will marry him!"

"It's not even discussed." You Xiao shook his head with a broken heart, "It's too worrying."

Next to him, Ling Qingbi bumped Kong Tan with his elbow, and said in a low voice, "Hey, don't they look like a family of three?"

Kong Tan pursed his lips, but smiled silently.

Afterwards You Xiao said goodbye to Wan Lifeng, Dai Yansheng, Zuo Hengqiu and Xiang Yushu one by one, and reluctantly boarded the boat.

After the boat started, You Xiao was still on the deck waving at them, crying and shouting: "Father, you all come back safely, Xiao'er is waiting for you!"

When You Xiao's boat was getting far away, Nie Yunhan looked at Zhuo Yingxian: "Don't worry, Xiao Er is so smart, she will definitely take good care of herself."

Ling Qingbi sighed: "This child has a good heart and is stronger than adults."

"If it hadn't been through hardships, how could it be so early wisdom." Kong Tan said lightly, with a trace of reluctance in his heart.

This kid You Xiao is really smart, everyone who has been with him will like him and feel sorry for him, but he doesn't feel how pitiful he is.

Maybe this is also good, lest he feel sorry for himself and develop a temperament of complaining.

"I found that Xiao'er's proactive character is quite similar to yours." Seeing that Zhuo Yingxian's eye circles were slightly red, Nie Yunhan wanted to distract him.

Zhuo Yingxian smiled: "Perhaps it's because I feel unwilling to be abandoned by my parents. The more unwilling I am, the more I have to prove that I am a useful person."

Nie Yunhan squeezed his hand reassuringly, then turned around and bowed to Kong Tan: "Brother Kong, we also take our leave."

Kong Tan replied: "Safe journey."

Dai Yansheng and others also bid farewell to Kong Tan, and then boarded the ship one after another.

Nie Yunhan was the last one to leave, and just as he turned around, Ling Qingbi grabbed his neck suddenly.

This person who was usually not in good shape suddenly whispered with a serious expression: "Don't die, come back alive."

Nie Yunhan hooked his lips and smiled evilly: "Prepare the gift and wait for me."

"Tsk, don't worry, I'm sure you'll be satisfied!" Ling Qingbi resumed his carefree expression, "Hey, say something nice to me in front of your little beauty, and don't let him dislike me all day long. I'm sure you two are friends. .”

Nie Yunhan pulled his hand away and said narrowly, "As long as he likes it, I don't bother with you."

Ling Qingbi said wearily, "I'll let him stab me again next time."

Zhuo Yingxian turned around and saw that Nie Yunhan hadn't followed, so he stood on the deck and shouted, "Brother Han!"

"Here we come!" Nie Yunhan winked at Ling Qingbi, waved his hands, and quickly ran to Zhuo Yingxian's side.

"Why are you talking so much to him?" Zhuo Yingxian looked back at Ling Qingbi.

Nie Yunhan put his shoulders: "Why do you bother him so much?"

"Whoever told him to stab you once, I will remember it for the rest of my life." Zhuo Yingxian said confidently, "Besides, this person is glib and frivolous, he is just a disciple."

"Didn't I do the same when we first met?"

Zhuo Yingxian snorted softly, turned around and walked towards the cabin: "He's not you."

,

Zuo Hengqiu and the others had already selected cabins, and they reserved the biggest cabin for Nie Yunhan and Zhuo Yingxian with a tacit understanding.

Nie Yunhan looked at the spacious and bright room, thinking that it really is because he didn't love them for nothing, so he has good eyesight.

Everyone's luggage was sent up in advance, and after each of them received it, the following servant, Yue Mo, judged which belonged to the two of them, and sent them into the room.

Since he was going to stay on the boat for five or six days, Zhuo Yingxian habitually opened the bag, took out the clothes inside and hung them up to dry, so as not to make the cloth wet and not easy to wear in the future.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the bag, he found a money bag full of at least 30 taels in his hand. When he opened it, it was all broken silver.

Zhuo Yingxian handed the money bag to Nie Yunhan: "Who gave it to you? Brother Kong?"

"Impossible, he has already given me the silver bill, there is no need to hide it and give me the silver." Nie Yunhan took the money bag and weighed it, "Tsk, it is indeed quite a lot, and he specially exchanged it for broken silver, Who else is so careful?"

"You mean...Xiao'er?" Zhuo Ying asked suspiciously.

Nie Yunhan reached out and rummaged through the purse, and found a piece of paper. He opened it and read it. It was written in You Xiao's immature handwriting: "This journey is difficult and dangerous, and there must be many places that need money. I'm afraid that money will be used." The ticket is inconvenient to exchange, so I exchanged it for this little piece of silver and attached it. The money is meager and not enough to express the child's heart. I only hope that the two fathers will return quickly and safely. Enter Xiaoer."

In just a few words, it seemed that the hearts of the two of them were touched. Zhuo Yingxian didn't like to cry at first, but today his eyes turned red again.

Nie Yunhan hugged him and comforted him, "This child is so sweet, he must be blessed in the future. When the time comes, we will marry him a beautiful and loving wife, have a large family of children, and let him live happily ever after. Not alone."

Zhuo Yingxian was amused by him, pushed him away and said, "Don't you not like children? You let him have so many."

"Xiao'er's children are naturally painful, so I'm not afraid of having more." Nie Yunhan raised his eyebrows at Zhuo Yingxian, and said with a smirk, "We have picked up a good son for nothing, old Nie, I have nothing else to ask for in this life La!"

"Since I'm a father, I still have to take on the responsibility of upbringing. When the matter at hand is over, I have to find a good husband for him. We can teach him kung fu, and we can't forget about poetry and etiquette." Hanging up the clothes, he muttered, "Don't look at him who is eight years old now, he has grown up in the blink of an eye, some bad habits in him must be corrected, and it will be difficult to teach him later. Such a good child will not Speaking of getting fame, you have to do some positive business, wait until he is a few years older, it depends on his own ambition..."

He felt that he had said a lot, but the person listening was silent. He couldn't help but looked back in confusion, and saw Nie Yunhan leaning against the window, looking at him with folded arms, with a faint smile on his face.

Zhuo Yingxian was a little embarrassed for a moment, as if he had exposed another side of himself. He was used to taking care of his master before, and his life was inevitably a little trivial.

Thinking about it this way, he and Nie Yunhan are indeed a bit similar, they both love to worry about their lives, but Nie Yunhan is used to worrying about everyone around him, while he only cares about the closest people.

Facing the man's scorching gaze, Zhuo Yingxian couldn't help feeling hot in his ears: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"This was the last thing I dared to think about before, to start a family and live like an ordinary person." Nie Yunhan couldn't come over, and still looked at him a few steps away, as if he wanted to wrap his whole body in his eyes, "Now this This kind of life seems to be at your fingertips, and there is hope for everything in the future, and I am really happy in my heart."

Zhuo Yingxian hung up his clothes and walked up to him, proudly said: "Look, how good it is to be alive, to be able to meet me, to meet Xiao'er, to have things that were once unattainable."

"You're right. When my adoptive father passed away, I really wanted to die. I stayed in prison for so long, but I couldn't do anything. I hated the court and myself every day. I really wanted to break through Go out and attract some fire and thunder to blow up Tangzhou Mansion." Nie Yunhan stretched out his hand to gently caress his face, and said lovingly, "It's lucky that I met you, it was you who released me and let me see the light of day again."

The skin of his fingers is rough, rubbing against his face has an obvious rough feeling, and it also has a sense of presence. Zhuo Yingxian likes the feeling of him touching himself, and he likes Nie Yunhan like this even more.

This person has a firm and iron frame on the outside, but also a delicate and soft intestine on the inside, which makes people want to rely on, but also makes people feel flustered in their hearts.

Recalling what the other party said about how he felt when he met him in Tangzhou Mansion last night, Zhuo Yingxian stood beside him and said softly: "I helped you unintentionally, but you also helped me unintentionally."

Nie Yunhan turned his head and looked at him curiously: "How do you say that?"

"At that time, the master disappeared, and I was very panicked. Although the master is a loafer, he doesn't care much about others, but he is my only family member. I must save him. No matter whether the nine-tailed fox sound misled me, go Finding you in Tangzhou Mansion is my only way."

"I was also very scared. I didn't know what I would face. I didn't know how far I could go before being stopped. When I arrived at Tangzhou Mansion and met Song Mingchong, I felt as if I had jumped off the cliff. There is no way out."

Zhuo Yingxian smiled, looked sideways at Nie Yunhan, his bright eyes reflected the sunlight outside the window, and said softly: "When I was falling, you were the one who caught me."

Nie Yunhan's heart skipped a beat, remembering that day when he controlled the "wings" and caught Zhuo Yingxian who fell from the sky in the air, the picture was dreamy and beautiful, and suddenly felt that the words seemed to have a subtle pun, and couldn't help pursing his lips. Laughing, he put his arms around his shoulders: "It seems that we are destined to belong to each other."

"So, I have no regrets in this life."

The two of them just stood quietly by the window, looking at the vast and magnificent river outside, as well as the sparkling waves like broken gold, their hearts were rich and stable, as if it was the happiest moment in their lives, and they hoped for this feeling can go on forever.

Zhuo Ying thought about herself and Miao Sheng, but now she didn't feel sorry for him at all.

Maybe when he wakes up, he can find the love of his life. Not everyone has this second chance, especially if he can bid farewell to such a cruel past, throw everything away, and start from scratch.

"By the way, Brother Kong and the others, what do you plan to do with Duan Zhanmei?"

Before that, Zhuo Yingxian's eyes were all on Miao Sheng in the ice coffin, and he didn't notice Duan Zhanmei in the iron cabinet. Seeing that he didn't seem to know, Nie Yunhan didn't mention it.

"They first used all the punishments in the army on him. Now this man's limbs and tendons are probably broken, and his throat is broken. Brother Kong intends to save him and hand him over to Shui Pixiu to deal with his head. Selling water brave again is a favor." Nie Yunhan said lightly, "He will not end well."

"He could have a better life with brother Xiaosheng, but he didn't cherish it." Zhuo Yingxian shook his head, "I've committed my own crimes, so I can't live."
