King's Landing [Rebirth]

When Mei Zhenghan and Liang Jian returned to the inn, Xu Ze and the others had already counted their luggage and were ready to go on the road. Mei Zhenghan didn't want Jiang Shengxue to know about the dumb girl, so she would think too much, so he asked Liang Jian to bring Jiang Shengxue's shoes and go to the backyard by himself. Lead the horse.The ointment given by the dumb girl was useless to him, and the scratch on the back of his hand looked serious but it was fine. He would recover in a day or two.

Thinking of the forbearance in the mute girl's eyes, Mei Zhenghan always felt blocked.Such a woman became like this for a child who only had a mother-child relationship for a few days. It is all embarrassing to mention.

The short-term sunny weather is very suitable for the journey, and the rest of the journey is more comfortable for everyone.Mei Zhenghan led the horse and walked ahead alone, with his mind on his mind, he was absent-minded along the way.

Knowing that he was still concerned about that woman, Liang Jian drove the horse to his side and said, "If you are worried about that woman, I can send someone to help you pay attention."

Mei Zhenghan shook his head, smiled lightly and said: "No, I'm not afraid of you laughing at me when I say it, I saw the dumb mother become like this for a baby who was not related to me, I couldn't help but wonder why my parents wanted to Abandon me. Is it because I am different from others? The vast snow, they just dumped me in the snow, even if I am not frozen to death, I will be killed by wolves. What kind of parents are they? heartless."

Mei Zhenghan's words were followed by a self-deprecating tone. He raised his hand to cover his eyes. Although there was a smile on his face, it was desolate and distressing.These eyes are a thorn in his heart that cannot be removed. Even when Jiang Yi explained to his neighbors that it was an eye disease and that if he didn't control it, he would lose his eyesight in the future, he would still be hated and feared by others.Some ignorant children even threw stones at him and called him a little monster.

He has experienced those unbearable things, but he doesn't want to think about them as he grows older.These eyes brought him too much pain, and the most painful thing was being abandoned by his parents.

Liang Jian stretched out his hand to hold Mei Zhenghan's wrist, took his hand away from his eyes, stared into his beautiful blue eyes, and said warmly: "I don't think they intended to abandon you, I'm afraid they had some unavoidable reasons at that time. You Seeing that they still left behind your birth date and the plum blossom jade pendant that can be used as a token of recognition, I think they can't let you go, and they still want to meet you again in the future."

Liang Jian is still not sure about Mei Zhenghan's life experience, but only guesses that it has something to do with the Mu family in Mobei.The Jiang family should have some idea of ​​his life experience, not the ignorance of what the neighbors said, only that he was an abandoned baby in the snow and didn't know the names of his biological parents.Liang Jian didn't know why Jiang Yi had to hide something from Mei Zhenghan and gave him clues. It was both hope and despair, wouldn't it make Mei Zhenghan more painful.

And this place is far away from Mobei, who braved the wind and snow to bring Mei Zhenghan to Jiang Yi and his wife to raise, and who spread the word of an abandoned baby in the snow and made up an identity that can't be found anywhere.

There is still a lack of a link between the truth of the facts and folk rumors. Picking up an abandoned baby is not a trivial matter, and it is impossible to be unaware of it.Liang Jian vaguely guessed, but after thinking about it carefully, she felt that she couldn't stand up to scrutiny.

He must figure out the origin of Mei Zhenghan, so he won't just be confused like this.Only by unraveling the mystery of his previous life, can he find a way to restrict Mobei.This heroic soldier in the previous life cannot just leave the field so early in this life.

Liang Jian's consolation was very ordinary, but Mei Zhenghan believed that different people who said it had different weight. He let Liang Jian hold his wrist, and smiled as if he was telling someone else's story: "I am a monster, and I will bring ominous things."

Liang Jian shook his head, took his palm and put it on his heart, letting him feel his heartbeat: "You are not a monster, you are a unique existence in my heart. These eyes are not unknown, they are as beautiful as the starry sky. Every day Every time I see you, it makes me feel at ease."

The heartbeat under the palm was steady and strong, the speaker had a doting smile on his brows and eyes, and there was a bit of tenderness in the peach blossom eyes.Mei Zhenghan missed a beat in his heart, he couldn't move his eyes away from Liang Jian like this, his ears felt hot, and his heart beat unconsciously accelerated.Liang Jian's words dissipated his unhappiness, and even made him feel a little flustered.

Mei Zhenghan licked his lips, and withdrew his palm, he heard his heart beating out of rhythm, beating like a drum.

In winter in Qiao County, the grass is withered and yellow, the fallen leaves are rustling, and the crows are neighing under a cold sun, hovering in the sky for a long time, refusing to leave.Liang Jian and his party rushed into the city before the city gate was locked. The officers and soldiers guarding the city were listless and their faces were sallow. They let them in without paying attention to who was on the horseback.The originally bustling street has become deserted and desolate, the long street is covered with fallen leaves, and only occasionally people are seen hurrying past.

"How did this place become like this?"

Xu Ze, who had been to Qiao County several times, was a little surprised. The Qiao County in his memory was not like this.The bustling streets are no longer the same, only the desolation of the city.

Mei Zhenghan and Jiang Shengxue were also very surprised. They grew up here and knew what it was like.The vendors in the streets and alleys disappeared, each shop only opened a small door, and the pedestrians who came and went looked hurried, as if someone had wiped out the energy of the county and turned everyone into walking dead.

Liang Jian thought of Ye Baiyi's words and his heart sank. This place gave him a very bad feeling. He got off his horse and walked a few steps on the street, looked around and said to Xu Ze: "Master Xu, we will divide into two groups here. I will lead Zhenghan Go find someone with Sheng Xue, and you go to the yamen to ask if any major incidents have happened recently, and why this place has become like this."

Xu Ze took the order to leave with his subordinates, Wen Yao hesitated before resigning and catching up with Xu Ze.Both Mei Zhenghan and Liang Jian are outstanding, and it is no problem to protect Jiang Shengxue alone. In contrast, Xu Ze has too many people around him, and Liang Jian left Wen Yao to him for his safety.

The person Liang Jianjian was looking for was of course Ye Sheng, but he went to the teahouse through the previous path but was in vain. What appeared in front of him was not the teahouse in his memory, but a burnt wooden building, everywhere. It's all coke, a mess.The gates of the surrounding neighborhoods are closed, and if you look carefully, you will find that there are wooden boards on the windows.

Mei Zhenghan and Jiang Shengxue couldn't express their surprise when they saw this scene. This teahouse is quite old, and most people who live in Qiao County know about it.However, no one expected that when they came back again, the place was burned down.

Liang Jian's pupils shrank suddenly, and his temples throbbed.He went into the burnt teahouse, walked around the collapsed beams, and found nothing useful.Not only was it burnt down very cleanly, but there were also people who came to clear the place afterwards.

Could it be that the people from Tianyin Pavilion came back to clean it up?

Liang Jian wasn't sure, even Ye Cheng's hiding place was destroyed, what happened in Qiao County?Liang Jian was about to go further in, when suddenly he heard Mei Zhenghan behind him yell, "Who?"

Liang Jian heard the sound and looked over quickly, only to see a short man secretly watching them from behind a house not far away.Mei Zhenghan's shout startled him, he turned around and was about to run.

Liang Jian drew the dagger out of its sheath in his hand, and flew towards him like lightning, piercing through the man's sleeve and nailing him to the wooden door beside him.The man looked at the handle of the knife that was still buzzing and trembling after being pierced into the wooden door, his legs softened and he fell to his knees.

Seeing that the man didn't dare to run away, Mei Zhenghan immediately stepped forward and grabbed his lapel and lifted him up, staring at his face and said, "Aren't you a boy from the teahouse? What happened to your teahouse?"

The little fellow made two ahhhs, opened his mouth wide and pointed at his own mouth, his tongue was cut off, and he was already speechless.He looked at Mei Zhenghan with fear on his face, trembling all over.

Mei Zhenghan was stunned. When he left Qiao County, this young man was still in good condition. He was articulate and smart, and he was the best at pleasing guests.Who would cut off his tongue so cruelly and turn him into a cripple?Mei Zhenghan only felt a chill rushing up from the bottom of his feet, he looked at the boy with pity, and asked, "Who did this?"

The little guy kept shaking his head, looked up and saw Liang Jian and Jiang Shengxue coming over, struggling desperately, but was restrained by Mei Zhenghan.

Liang Jian stood still in front of the boy. He had a cold face and a terrifying look in his eyes.

"Where is Ye Sheng?"

Liang Jian asked, her voice also cold.

The young man was very afraid of him, his face was pale, and he hid behind Mei Zhenghan in fear, and stretched out his finger tremblingly, pointing in the direction, the Jiang family was there.

Liang Jian frowned, pulled out the knife on the wooden door, and asked the boy to lead the way honestly, otherwise he would die.The little guy didn't dare to disobey his will, and walked ahead to lead them aggrieved.

The Jiang family is not peaceful either, it has almost become a dead zone. The neighbors who usually hang out at the door in small groups to chatter about the relatives of the east and the west have disappeared, the gates are closed, and leaves are falling.

For the first time, Jiang Shengxue was full of strangeness and fear for the place she lived in. She followed Mei Zhenghan closely all the way, subconsciously grasping Mei Zhenghan's sleeves, and Mei Zhenghan patted the back of her hand to keep her from Fear.

The three of them quickly returned to Jiang's house under the leadership of the boy. The boy was going to knock on the door but Liang Jian stopped him. Liang Jian looked around the lifeless street, put the blade on the boy's neck, and said coldly He threatened: "If you dare to play tricks, I will let your head fall to the ground."

The young man was frightened and his whole body was stiff. Liang Jian suddenly kicked him and knocked him open the gate of Jiang's house.The wooden door made an old-fashioned creaking sound, and slowly opened to both sides.The little guy lost his center of gravity and fell towards the ground. Fortunately, he was caught by someone so that he didn't fall to his death.

Liang Jian looked at the shopkeeper of the teahouse who caught the boy, and said, "What do you mean?"

The shopkeeper didn't speak. With a bitter expression on his face, he led the boy back to one side, let Liang Jian out of the aisle, bowed and said, "Young Master Liang, our Palace Mistress has been waiting for a long time, please come into the hall for a while."
