King's Landing [Rebirth]

Wen Yao woke up, Master Hua was beheaded for public display, Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan's trip to Qiao County was coming to an end, and the two began to discuss going back.In Qiao County, Xu Ze promoted a new county magistrate, who will take office soon.Xu Ze drew up the regulations on the tea leaves that Liang Jian mentioned, but he considered that the new official needed to show his skills, so he left the opportunity to the county magistrate.

Liang Jian didn't object to his arrangement, leaving Wen Yao here to protect Jiang Shengxue, and he and Mei Zhenghan were ready to go back.

Before leaving, Mei Zhenghan took joss stick paper money to offer incense to Jiang Yi and Mrs. Jiang.It is very difficult for him to come back in the short term. It is a pity that he was not able to send Jiang Yi to the burial.

"Master, I'm leaving. Sheng Xue and I are fine, and your worries have been resolved smoothly. Don't worry about us. Let's have fun with Master's wife in another place."

Mei Zhenghan placed his favorite food in front of Jiang Yi, and babbled on a lot of trivial matters, wishing to tell Jiang Yi the current situation in detail.Liang Jian stood not far behind him, looking at the endless mountains, her heart was peaceful and stable.

Mei Zhenghan looked back at him, turned to Jiang Yi's tombstone and said: "Master, you still like to mess up the mandarin ducks. I don't agree to you asking me to marry Shengxue. I will marry her beautifully in the future, no I will wrong her. As for me, don't worry about it, I... can find the person I want to protect."

Mei Zhenghan originally wanted to say that he didn't want to get married because he wanted to guard someone.But he felt palpitations before the words came out of his mouth. He still had a lot of things he didn't understand, so it was really irresponsible to say it hastily.So when the words came to his lips, he turned a corner and swallowed them back, spit out a sentence with vague meaning.

He spoke in a low voice, like a person's muttering, Liang Jian never heard it.

The wind blew up on the mountain. Mei Zhenghan got up and patted the dirt on his clothes. He was silent for a moment in front of Jiang Yi's grave, muttering, Master, I'm leaving, and turned to Liang Jian to go down the mountain with him.Waiting for them was a carriage, driven by guards arranged by Xu Ze to see them off.The way back is not the same as when they came, but the way they fled in a hurry.

Mei Zhenghan sat in the warm carriage, the curtains were not rolled up, and she could see the scenery outside.The sky is cold, the grass is withered and yellow, and the scenery on both sides of the road changes from autumn to winter in the blink of an eye. I don't know what it will be like when I come back next time.

Only then did Mei Zhenghan feel a little bit of right and wrong, the sadness of being far away from his hometown, and the road he was familiar with when he was a child will disappear in his memory in the future, turning into another appearance he is not familiar with.

This is probably growth, constantly accepting new things and constantly losing everything you once had. There is no so-called eternity.

A few days later, Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan, who stopped and stopped along the way, returned to Hongye City in a low-key manner.The weather in Hongye City is better than that in Qiaoxian County, and you can still see the sun lazily sleeping on the clouds, as if about to hibernate, casting thin sunlight.

The carriage stopped at the City Lord's Mansion, and the driver who escorted the two of them didn't stay too long, and was about to return to Qingxi County after sending them home.Liang Jian rewarded him with a little silver for him to use on the road. The coachman thanked Liang Jian for his kindness and drove away in the carriage.

When the guards at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion saw Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan coming back, they saluted one after another, and one of them was happily going into the house to report.Liang Jian raised his hand to stop him, and asked casually, "Is there something wrong in the mansion during my absence?"

The guard hesitated and said, "Yes and no."

Liang Jian raised his eyebrows, and the guard said again: "During your absence, all matters in the mansion will be handed over to Mr. Song, and Young Master Yang from Qianyu Sect will also come to help. Also, Mr. Song was attacked and rescued some time ago, so the mansion is still in charge. There is one more foreign visitor."

Yang Junning and Song Yuan have a good relationship and are appreciated by Liang Jian, so there is nothing wrong with coming to help, people in the mansion can get along well with her.But the person who rescued Song Yuan was different. He had a weird temper and was unfamiliar with everyone, and he was accompanied by a guard with strong martial arts skills.If it weren't for his life-saving grace to Song Yuan, his doubts would really be worthy of everyone's careful investigation from beginning to end.

Liang Jian understood what was going on, the guard obviously doubted the identity of the person who saved Song Yuan, so it was not uncommon.But he also knew that it was not kind enough to say such a thing, so he hesitated so much.

"It's okay, I'll go take a look."

Liang Jian patted the guard on the shoulder, and entered the door together with Mei Zhenghan.At this time, Song Yuan should be handling daily affairs in the Nuan Pavilion, so Liang Jian asked his servants to take their luggage down and go straight to the Nuan Pavilion.

The hibiscus in the warm pavilion has long since withered, and the leaves have fallen, leaving only bare flowering branches.The scenery in the yard is not gloomy, but there is a kind of coldness in winter, which makes people tremble.

Someone was sitting upright in the yard, wearing a snow-white brocade dress, the thin sunlight fell on his shoulders, casting a layer of shimmer.He wears a jade crown on his head, fixed with a fine jade hairpin, holds a shiny jade fan in his hand, and also has a drop-shaped jade ornament hanging around his waist.Just by looking at his outfit, you can tell that he is either rich or expensive, and he has an extraordinary background.What's more, he has a face that people can't forget, with regular features, dragon and phoenix, like a pampered nobleman.

The sound of Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan entering the door startled him, and he looked up.If one had to find fault with him, it would be that his bland expression was like a jade man, unadulterated with emotions and desires, so bland that people could only watch from a distance and dare not play with them.

Liang Jian was a little surprised, stepped forward and said, "Ye Baiyi, don't tell me that you are the one who saved Song Yuan."

Mei Zhenghan was taken aback, the expressionless man in front of him turned out to be the beauty who performed music in Luyilou that day.But to be honest, this cold temperament is indeed exactly the same.

Ye Baiyi is playing with the jade fan in his hand, he rarely walks in the rivers and lakes with this face, and not many people have seen him.But Liang Jian didn't even think about it as soon as he entered the door, so he directly pointed out his identity, which is interesting.His ever-changing behavior was like a child's trick in front of Liang Jian, no matter what he would be exposed.

Ye Baiyi raised his hand to invite Liang Jian and Mei Zhenghan to sit down, with an attitude as if he was the master here, and calmly said: "Master Liang, please come here without any problems, my father thank you for taking care of me."

Ye Baiyi had already heard about Ye Cheng, and he thanked Liang Jian, but there was no sign of sincerity in his expression, those who didn't know thought he didn't care whether his father was alive or dead.

Mei Zhenghan felt a toothache, and instead of sitting down in the yard, he turned around and went to the Nuan Pavilion to find Song Yuan.As soon as Mei Zhenghan left, only Liang Jian and Ye Baiyi were left in the yard. Liang Jian looked at Ye Baiyi who came uninvited in front of him, and became suspicious of Song Yuan's attack.

"What are you doing here?" Liang Jian asked, he knew in his heart that although Ye Baiyi loved to play, he would not appear in the City Lord's Mansion for no reason, especially when he was not around.

Ye Baiyi said: "Your subordinate is very interesting."

This subordinate naturally refers to Song Yuan, Liang Jian looked at Ye Baiyi puzzled, the meaning of these words is not difficult to understand.But it was so obvious that Liang Jian was puzzled.Song Yuan and Ye Baiyi had no intersection, how could he be targeted by Ye Baiyi.

Ye Baiyi is a person who lacks expression. He has a coffin face all year round. It is basically impossible to see emotions from his face.Liang Jian suppressed the doubts in his heart, maintained his usual smile, and said, "I heard that you saved Song Yuan, thank you."

"No, it's not worth the effort. What's more, he has already thanked me, and I am very satisfied with his thank you." Ye Baiyi replied, stroking the jade pendant at his waist with his palm. It was a gift from Song Yuan. It is small and exquisite. He loves it.

Ye Baiyi's voice was a little brisk, slightly different from before.Liang Jian looked at him calmly, and both of them fell silent.The thin sunlight shines on the yard, and the shadows of the maple trees criss-cross on the stone table, like a carefully laid net.

Ye Baiyi looked up at the sun, and said: "It's already this hour, I think you just returned to the city lord's mansion and you still have a lot of things to deal with, so I won't bother you, let me go."

"Don't worry, I'm relieved that Song Yuan will take care of the affairs of the mansion. You can be regarded as a distinguished guest, so it's not too late to leave after dinner." Liang Jian spoke to persuade Ye Baiyi to stay, with a faint smile in his eyes, Like a sincere invitation.

"No, I will stay in the city for a while longer, and this meal can be arranged another day."

Ye Baiyi stood up and cupped his fists, rejecting Liang Jian's invitation, but also told Liang Jian that he would not leave Hongye City yet, which meant to talk about it later.This move is to establish a friendly relationship, Liang Jian is a little surprised, Tingyin Pavilion has never been involved in court affairs, so it is not Ye Baiyi's style to so blatantly try to gain a relationship with him, what kind of medicine does this man sell in his gourd.

Liang Jian can not be serious about other things, but Ye Baiyi can't.This person is both good and evil, he didn't see through it in his previous life, and in this life he just took a little advantage, so don't be careless.

The weather was fine today. Early in the morning, the servants of the City Lord's Mansion took out the quilts at home to dry, opened the room to ventilate, and let the sunlight shine in.The temperature in the warm pavilion was acceptable, so Song Yuan only asked people to leave a small stove to boil water and make tea.At this moment, the tea on the stove was boiling and steaming.

Mei Zhenghan was sitting by the window basking in the sun, eating the cakes brought by the maid, looking very happy.Song Yuan was reporting to Liang Jian the situation of the Tiancheng Lord's Mansion these days. Liang Jian listened carefully and flipped through the official document. Song Yuan handled it very well, so he glanced at it and put it back.There have been no major incidents in the city recently, and what is worth mentioning is that Sun Sheng finally passed away after being under house arrest by Liang Jian for many days.

Liang Jian paused when he heard the news, and asked, "Has his body been disposed of?"

Song Yuandao: "At any rate, he was the one who lured me into the officialdom. For this reason, I asked someone to bury him."

Sun Sheng was aggrieved by his death in this life, but at least he left his body in the ground for safety. It was his good luck. Liang Jian's treatment of Song Yuan was meaningless.Song Yuan continued to talk about other things, and after he finished speaking, Liang Jian asked: "I heard from the guards that you were attacked in the city a few days ago, can you find out who did it?"

Song Yuan shook his head: "The other party is very skilled. If I hadn't been rescued by Ye Baiyi, I would have been doomed. Yang Junning helped me to investigate, but I had no clue. It is strange to say that I have never had any grudges with others. Why did I suddenly Someone is coming to kill me."

This is the point that Song Yuan can't understand the most. He has no enemies, no family wealth, and no right to shake other people's status. He was assassinated for no reason. It was really the first time he was born out of his mother's womb.

Liang Jian also had doubts about this matter. Hearing Song Yuan's words intensified his suspicions. He casually asked, "It seems that you and Ye Baiyi get along well."

"If it's good for us to sit silently for a day, then I have nothing to say." Mentioning Ye Baiyi and Song Yuan gave him a headache, he propped his head on the table and said, "If it wasn't because he was your friend, I wouldn't Let him freely enter and leave the city lord's mansion. But seriously, are all your friends so individual?"

As soon as Song Yuan finished speaking, Mei Zhenghan coughed, looked at Song Yuan in surprise, and said, "Who said Ye Baiyi is my brother's friend?"

"What he said...wait, don't you guys know each other? But he knows your history very well, how could he know so well if he wasn't your friend." Song Yuan is not an idiot, of course it is impossible for Ye Baiyi to say anything to him Believe in anything.It was he who found through several trials that Ye Baiyi knew about Liang Jian's affairs very well, so he believed Ye Baiyi's words.

But now Mei Zhenghan's questioning shattered his belief, he was still being tricked by being so cautious.

Liang Jian couldn't reveal too much about Ye Baiyi. Knowing that he approached Song Yuan as his friend, Liang Jian was in a delicate mood, and comforted Song Yuan: "It can't be said that we don't know each other, but it's just that we don't have a deep friendship. He At any rate, I have saved your life, so I don’t mean anything malicious, just make it clear.”

After finishing speaking, Liang Jian thought for a while, and asked a completely irrelevant matter: "Do you still remember the girl who presented the music in Luyilou, did you know each other?"

Song Yuan didn't know why Liang Jian mentioned that girl, and said honestly: "I remember, I didn't know her, but when I left Lvyilou that day, I saw her being entangled by someone, so I stepped forward to untie her. She has a cold personality and doesn't want to be with her." There were a lot of conversations, and I left without even asking her name."

It's a pity that the beautiful woman has a beautiful piano sound, and Song Yuan intends to make friends with her, but the beautiful woman has no intention of doing so.

Mei Zhenghan looked at Song Yuan sympathetically, and couldn't bear to tell him that the beautiful woman was Ye Baiyi, a man.And the other party has been wandering around him for several days, and he didn't notice it at all.

Liang Jian suddenly realized that Song Yuan helped Ye Baiyi out of the siege. He looked at Song Yuan with great interest, understood why Ye Baiyi appeared in the city lord's mansion, and guessed who did Song Yuan's assassination.But he didn't plan to tell Song Yuan about it, it would be better not to tell some truths.If possible, Song Yuan might be able to help him win over Ye Baiyi.
