where to go home

? "Why are you stopping me! You don't know... there... is your master in there!"

"You don't know, there...is there someone you like!"

"If you don't save her, don't stop me!!!"

……

Qin Yunze was lying upright on the roof of his house, with the wine gourd in his hand, which swayed from side to side when the night wind blew.At this moment, it was midnight, when everything should be quiet, but tonight's Tian Ce seemed noisy.In the past, Yunze liked lying on the roof most - he liked to watch the stars since he was a child.Later, he stopped staring at the stars all the time, and instead looked at the small lit window of Zheng’s house. There was a small silhouette on the small window. Smiling contentedly, she went back to her room to sleep.But today, when he habitually looked over, it was indeed pitch black and he couldn't see anything—because there was nothing there.

Yun Ze simply didn't look at it, closed his eyes, and kept ringing Yang Xiao's words in his ears, talking to himself:

"Is that person... the senior sister?"

"Yes." Yunze got up in shock when he heard someone reply, and when he looked back, it turned out that it was his father, Mr. Qin. "Father, why are you up so late?"

"Hehe, then why aren't you asleep?" The old man sat down next to him.

"I can't sleep... Thinking of Yunlan, Shu'er, and Senior Sister, I'm a little scared... Especially Senior Sister, I originally wanted to lull Yunlan to sleep and go to her, but I just took a step. The look in her eyes when she yelled at me tonight appeared before my eyes. I have never seen her like that...as if she was going to swallow me alive. I dare not go to her..."

"Oh..." Mr. Qin patted him on the shoulder, "The murderous look in Yang Xiao's child's eyes is really not what she should have at her age. She is also a poor child. Because she once lost her relatives, she treats your master with respect. Her family love is extremely cherished. The more you cherish something, the more painful it is to lose it. When she was alone, there was Zheng Feng's family, but now she is alone again, but there is no one to rely on."

"Father, what do you mean..."

"Go and persuade your senior sister, don't be sad, take her to our house for a while."

"Really?! Dad, I actually thought so too... I thought you wouldn't agree..."

"Tsk!" The old man raised his hand and gave Yunze a slap, "Do your father and I look like such an impersonal person?"

"Hey, it doesn't look like it! It doesn't look like it! Then I'll go find my senior sister right now." Saying that, he jumped off the roof and ran towards Zheng's house holding Lie Shan, who was also sleepless.Mr. Qin was left alone on the roof looking into the distance in a daze.

"Brother Zheng Xian, I am no longer useful... I just hope that the children can investigate this matter clearly, so as to comfort your family's soul in heaven..."

When Qin Yunze arrived at Zheng's house, Yang Xiao was kneeling in front of the ruins, wiping the Mosong gun that escaped the fate of being burned because it was placed on the weapon rack in the yard.When Yunze led the horse to Yang Xiao's side, she didn't even lift her head, but was carefully polishing the silver gun.

"Senior Sister..." Yun Ze hesitated to speak.

Yang Xiao gently put down the gun, turned his head, but did not look at him, "Yunlan, are you okay?"

"...the doctor said that she may have been temporarily aphasia due to some kind of stimulation, and when she will recover...the doctor dare not say."

"Sorry, we are the ones who got her into trouble..."

"No no, Senior Sister, don't say that! I know you feel uncomfortable, I just came here to say... You don't have a place to go now, why don't you come to my house first. It doesn't matter how long you stay until you find a place to live."

"..." Yang Xiao finally looked up at Yunze, and smiled gratefully, "Junior brother, thank you." She propped herself up with the Mo Song gun and stood up, took her own horse with one hand, and faced Yunze farewell. Said meaningfully, "Maybe, I won't bother your family for too long."

"Senior Sister?" Yun Ze asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, you go back first, I want to stay by myself for a while."

"Senior sister, don't be too hard on yourself, you still have us! Master's revenge must be avenged, but you must not fall down!"

"Oh, don't worry, I won't commit suicide." After saying that, he stepped on the horse and ran away, leaving Yunze and Lieshan in front of the ruins, speechless for a long time.

Early the next morning, Xu Changhai was dressed neatly with dark circles under his eyes, ready to go out for morning exercises.Although he was worried about the accident at the camp last night and didn't sleep much, but after all, it was a habit for many years, so he got up and went out when the time came.It's just that as soon as I opened the door this morning, I saw a person sitting at the door with his back to him. When the person heard the door opening, he quickly turned around and stood up.

"Yang Xiao? Why are you here? How long have you been sitting here, come in and tell me." Seeing that it was Yang Xiao, Xu Changhai quickly let her into the room.

"General Xu!" Yang Xiao knelt down in front of Xu Changhai, making him a little at a loss, "Yang Xiao has something to report!"

"It's about your master's house, I heard last night that the fire was too big and they didn't escape... Alas, it's a pity for Zheng Feng, a good general... You still have to express your condolences..." Xu Changhai paced after finishing speaking Sit down in front of the stone bench in the yard.

"General, my master's family must have died of injustice!" Yang Xiao raised his head, looked at Xu Changhai with firm eyes, and said, "I have seen the corpse with my own eyes, and it's not that the whole body is burnt, there will always be a part or one side intact. , That is to say..." Yang Xiao choked up unconsciously when he said this, "That is to say...they were probably killed by the murderer first, and then the murderer set fire to cover up the crime. Otherwise, with Master's martial arts , how could it be impossible to escape?!"

"You're right...and even if it's really burned to death, the whole family...it's really unreasonable." Xu Changhai thought for a moment, and felt a little strange.After thinking about it, he looked at Yang Xiao who was kneeling on the ground, and asked tentatively:

"If you say that, is there someone who is suspicious?"

Yang Xiao clasped his hands together and said, "Yang Xiao doesn't have a clear candidate, but my teacher secretly investigated the mastermind behind the robbery of grain and grass four months ago, and I think he must be related to that person."

"The grain and grass were robbed...he is investigating that case?" Xu Changhai helped Yang Xiao up, pacing and thinking.He knew about that case, he caught a few thieves and then closed the case hastily, and did not find the looted goods from the residences of those thieves, only a few people had a record of robbery here to convict them.He has long felt that there must be something hidden about this matter, and he went to the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Justice to investigate thoroughly but did not get a response. It seems that it must have something to do with the officials above.

"Then Miss Yang, what do you want to do?"

"General, please send someone to thoroughly investigate my master's case and punish the evil!"

"Miss Yang, this..."

"General—" Before Xu Changhai could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a soldier who came over to summon him, "What's the matter?"

"General" Xiao Bing saluted with his fists in his hands, "Eunuch Cheng came to the mansion, he said he was here to carry..." Xiao Bing looked at Yang Xiao who was beside him hesitantly, "He said... he came to carry the corpses of Zheng Feng's family back for investigation, Junshi Zhu is stopping you, telling you to go to the front hall quickly."

"What? Who dares to touch my master's body?!" Yang Xiao was so angry that he slapped the stone table with his palm. The soldier saw a faint crack on the stone table and swallowed silently.

"Miss Yang, don't panic, let's go to the front hall to have a look!" Seeing this, Xu Changhai hurriedly dragged Yang Xiao to the front hall.

In the front hall, a fat man dressed gorgeously was sitting in the front seat. The reason why he was called fat was that his body was so wide that it completely blocked the entire chair.And I don't know how much face powder was applied on the face, it looks pale.The greasy hair was neatly combed, but Zhu Jianqiu, who was standing beside him, looked at his slightly raised orchid fingers when serving tea, and got goosebumps from nausea.

Cheng Yulian showed dissatisfaction on her face, and then she took out a handkerchief and wiped her sweat lightly, and asked Zhu Jianqiu, "Our family was assigned by the Ministry of Punishment to carry the corpse. Are you trying to rebel by blocking me like this?"

"Eunuch Cheng, where did this rebellion come from? It's just that Jianqiu thinks that this incident happened in the Tiance Mansion after all, and the one who died was a soldier of my Tiance Mansion. Naturally, the mansion should investigate and deal with it. But what about the people who bother the Ministry of Criminal Justice?" Zhu Jianqiu replied calmly, but the slight sweat on his forehead had already exposed his inner anxiety - he knew that if the Ministry of Criminal Justice really wanted these three corpses, it would be wrong to say so. Absolutely useless.

"Boom—" the door opened in response, Xu Changhai strode into the door, and clenched his fist at Cheng Yulian, "Eunuch Cheng."

Cheng Yulian lazily raised her eyelids and ignored him.

"I don't know why Eunuch Cheng wanted to carry away the corpses of brother Zheng Xiandi's family?"

"The Ministry of Criminal Justice heard what happened last night and felt that the cause of Zheng Feng's family's death was not innocent, so they wanted to take the body away for investigation." Cheng Yulian said impatiently, "I said what are you doing? You probably also think that their deaths are unclear. ? Now that the Ministry of Criminal Justice wants to investigate the fire, it is also for Zheng Feng's benefit. If someone really set the fire on purpose, wouldn't it be worthy of the Zheng family under Jiuquan if it is found out?"

Xu Changhai and Zhu Jianqiu looked at each other, but they had nothing to say. After all, if the Ministry of Criminal Justice wanted to investigate, they had no right to stop them.

"My father-in-law, do you have a document from the Ministry of Punishment to ask for the body to be carried? Can you lend me a look?" Yang Xiao, who hadn't spoken since entering the door, suddenly asked Cheng Yulian.

Cheng Yulian's eyes moved slightly, and then she said arrogantly, "A document? I was in such a hurry that I didn't wear it on my body, why? Do you doubt our family?"

"Without documents, no one can touch my master's corpses." Yang Xiao said firmly.

"Yang Xiao..." Xu Changhai just wanted to stop him, but was interrupted by Cheng Yulian who became angry from embarrassment.

"Hey, you little girl, what kind of movies are you? How dare you challenge me! The Ministry of Criminal Justice investigates the case, how can you intervene!" Then he turned his head and ordered a row of followers around him, "Go and carry Zheng Feng and the others go back!"

"No!" Yang Xiao hurriedly stopped the followers who wanted to go out, and shouted: "Master was murdered! There may be important clues on the body, how can you just take it away!"

"What! Is this doubting the criminal department's ability to handle cases? My father-in-law ran this errand specially for the criminal department, and you don't know what to do! Someone..."

"Yang Xiao! Presumptuous!" Zhu Jianqiu interrupted Cheng Yulian, and shouted at Yang Xiao, "Shut up!" He turned around and cupped his hands to apologize to Cheng Yulian, "Eunuch Cheng, don't get angry, she is still young and ignorant, your lord has a lot, Don't worry about her, I will punish her later."

"Hmph!" Cheng Yulian glared at Yang Xiao, and shouted, "Come on! Carry it away! Let me see who dares to stop me!"

Xu Changhai tightly held Yang Xiao who was about to go desperately with one hand, so she had no choice but to walk out of the gate and get into the sedan chair towards Cheng Yulian, who was potbellied.

"Ah..." Zhu Jianqiu sat helplessly on the chair, looked at the anger in Yang Xiao's eyes, and sighed slightly, "Miss Yang, maybe they were indeed sent by the superiors to thoroughly investigate this matter..."

"Military division," Yang Xiao looked deeply at the direction the sedan chair was leaving, "You said it too, it's just maybe."

"Miss Yang...we are incompetent..." Xu Changhai raised his hand in frustration and rubbed his aching temple.

"General Xu, you two don't need to blame yourself...I understand..." Yang Xiao said slowly, "The last general will step down first and leave." Yang Xiao saluted slightly, and turned around quickly to leave.

Xu Changhai looked at her still clenched fists, and slapped the table angrily, "Oh... really suffocating!"

"There is no way, there is no evidence, and I can't keep it if I want to..." Zhu Jianqiu stroked his beard, and after a while, he also slammed the table, "Hmph! It's really fucking suffocating!"

……

Yang Xiao was restless and walking aimlessly.She didn't know what to do next, the body was carried away, the house was burned to the ground, and there was no clue at all... When she was agitated, she looked up and happened to see a young man sitting cross-legged on the roof in front of her, I don't know what to hold in my hand and stare at it.Yang Xiao blocked the sun with his hand, squinted his eyes, "This is... Yunze?" Unknowingly, he walked to Qin's house.

Yang Xiao opened his arms, performed lightness kung fu, and landed lightly on the low roof.Sensing the shadow cast down, Yun Ze quickly rubbed his cheek with the back of his hand, turned his head and called weakly, "Senior Sister..."

Yang Xiao patted him on the shoulder, sat down beside him, and glanced at the silk cloth embroidered with black bamboo in Yunze's hand. Although she is not good at female craftsman, she knows that the cloth is very good at seeing Zheng Shu'er's embroidery all the time. , should be the best silk produced in Yangzhou.

"Yunze... what is this?"

Yunze gently stroked the protruding black bamboo pattern, and the tears he had just held back were about to open the gate again, "A few people came just now and said they wanted to carry away the corpses of Master and the others. I wanted to stop them, but they Throwing me aside, I took the bamboo frame from a dead body while they were not paying attention..." Yun Ze sniffled and continued with a choked voice, "The bamboo frame wasn't burned, it should have been burned by someone. Under my body...I had a purse torn by Shu'er before, it was very similar to this pattern...but it was not as good as this embroidery...and it was not such a good fabric..."

Seeing that Yunze was almost at a loss for words, Yang Xiao could only pat him on the shoulder lightly, hugged him, and didn't say much.By now, she was already physically and mentally exhausted, what other words of comfort could she say?If some people don't need comfort at all, silent company is the best comfort.

For half an hour, no one spoke again, only the sound of the wind and the shouts of killing in the teaching field were heard, but today it seemed not so murderous.Yang Xiaowenzhi stood up slowly, looking at the Tiance officers and soldiers wielding guns practicing martial arts on the teaching field, thoughtful, Yun Ze could only see the senior sister's hands clenched and loosened, but couldn't see the senior sister's expression against the light .

"Junior brother... I'll go and see Yunlan." Before Yunze could react, he jumped into Yunlan's room.

"Yunlan? I'm Sister Yang, are you asleep?" Yang Xiao waited at the door for a long time but didn't reply, and then remembered that Yunlan couldn't speak now, so he pushed the door lightly and entered.

Yunlan didn't fall asleep, she wrapped herself tightly with a quilt, and sat at the small table on the bed, writing something.Seeing Yang Xiao coming in, he hurriedly waved to her and let her come over.

"Yunlan...I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to be involved..." Looking at Yunlan who was speechless, Yang Xiao couldn't help crying.

After hearing this, Yun Lan just kept shaking her head, then stuffed a stack of papers on the table into Yang Xiao's arms, motioning her to read.

"This is..." Yang Xiao took it puzzled and looked at it.

It was nothing else on the paper, it was Yun Lan who had written everything she had seen in the fire last night since she got up early in the morning.The leading man in black, the order to set the fire on fire, the weird lightness... She turned out the memories she wanted to forget the most, and wrote them down on this stack of papers.In the end, Yang Xiaoyue dared not turn the pages, because she couldn't bear to see how the tragic fire started, and she couldn't bear to see Yunlan record the memories that made her speechless. pain and fear...

"...Sister Yang, I only know so much. Don't be sad, it's not your fault. I hope what I wrote can help you and give Uncle Zheng and the others justice."

Yang Xiao folded the paper carefully and put it in his arms, stepped forward to hug Yunlan gently, and held back his crying, "Thank you, Yunlan..."

After that, Yunlan watched her go out, feeling a little uneasy.She thought that the senior sister would be very sad, but unexpectedly, the senior sister just thanked her with a trembling voice after reading this stack.She couldn't read the eyes of the senior sister.Is it sad?Is it anger?she does not know.She didn't know what Yang Xiao was thinking, she only knew that she left neatly, and she could no longer see the hesitation and hesitation when she just entered the door.

Xu time.

Yang Xiao, dressed in black clothes and carrying a burden, knocked on the courtyard door of Zhu Jianqiu's house.The military adviser who was watering the flowers in the courtyard hurried to open the door. Seeing Yang Xiao like this, he was suddenly confused. Before he could ask, Yang Xiao suddenly knelt down on one knee, his voice was calm and cold, but there was a sense of determination. .

"Reporting to the military division, the last general Yang Xiao, who violated the military order by colliding with the officials, feels deeply guilty. Please withdraw from the Tiance Strategy to rectify the discipline! From now on, what Yang Xiao does has nothing to do with the Tiance Strategy Mansion! I hope the military division will be successful!"

Master, mistress, Shu'er... From then on, I will avenge your hatred and bear your hatred.There is no longer Yang Xiao, the soldier of Tiance Mansion, but Yi Yao, the killer of Tang Sect.
