Peony Overlord [Rebirth]

When this fierce battle finally came to an end, it was approaching the end of the new year, and all the killings and blood stains were buried underground by Laughter and Ruixue. They chose to stop the war in tacit understanding, but the tacit understanding on the surface was just the coming wind and rain, and none of them caught it On the plus side, the wild wolves and the eagles are staring at each other, and this new year will not be so peaceful.

The three continents of Yan, Feng, and Qin were merged into one continent when the seven continents in the Central Plains were in disarray, internal and external troubles. This undoubtedly caused a shock to other aristocratic families at the end of the year. Shi Zhenming from Runan couldn't sit still. Going to attack the city again, Chu Xinle's movements were so fast that it almost exceeded his imagination, but now it has become very difficult to see Chu Xinle. If Runan wants to go to Jiuyuan, he must pass through Yandu, and if he wants to go to Fengtian The same is true, but there is not only this road to go to Fengtian, but also Langya.

However, Xue Man seems to have maintained a neutral attitude. The last time he was able to agree to send troops to come because he could not send Xing Yanhong back to Jiuyuan, but now Xing Yanhong has returned. He has hinted many times, but Xue Man is either pretending to listen If you don't understand, you can skip this topic directly, and then return to Langya.

As for Shi Zhenming, who is alone and helpless now, he cannot fight against Chu Xinle with his Runan garrison alone. He must have a bigger support, strong enough to fight against Chu Xinle.

But just as he was thinking about it, he saw A Lei grab a little girl and slip her in.

The girl looked about thirteen or fourteen years old, her clothes were scraped torn, and the exposed flesh on her face and body was covered with mud, so dirty that she couldn't see her original appearance at all.

Shi Zhenming looked her up and down, then heard A Lei say: "This girl has been at the base of the wall in the backyard for a while, and she shakes her head when asked about anything, she probably crawled in through the dog hole."

The backyard was where Chu Xinle used to live, so after they left, Shi Zhenming hated it so much that he ignored it, and the servants were lazy at work, and would not go to sweep it for ten days, if it wasn't for Ah Lei I passed by today and heard some movement and went in to have a look. Presumably this girl can stay there until the spring of next year.

"Refugees?" Shi Zhenming raised his eyebrows, a cold light flashed in his eyes, he looked like he was going to kill someone, and asked in a cold voice: "You dare to enter here, do you really think that I, the Shifu, are doing good? Ah Lei, pull him out and kill him."

Aleigh obeyed and grabbed the girl's arm to drag her out.

The girl who didn't say a word immediately shouted when she saw this: "Patriarch Shi is worried about the Central Plains? When I escaped from Langya, I heard that Patriarch Xue is going to submit to the new city lord!"

"A Lei," Seeing that the girl was about to be dragged out of the house by A Lei, Shi Zhenming suddenly called to him: "Let her speak."

Ah Lei had to let go of the girl, the girl pulled out her arm, gasped in shock and crawled towards Shi Zhenming, and stopped at the position just now, she tried her best to keep herself calm, but she saw Shi Zhenming's There was an undeniable fear in his eyes.

"Go on, it's done. When I'm happy, I might be kind enough to give you some money to let you go." Shi Zhenming said casually, playing with his fingers.

The girl knelt down, trembling all the time, although she was afraid, she still unconsciously looked at Shi Zhenming with her eyes, the unconcealable fear was removed, and there was an indescribable look in her eyes.

"For the sake of stability in the Central Plains, Master Shi will definitely not join forces with the new city lord, but fighting requires a huge force, and the garrison in Runan alone cannot compete with Yan, Feng, and Qin Sanzhou, let alone add a Langya , So, my little girl thought...the Patriarch must be worrying about the strength of the troops."

There was no voice in the room for a while, and it became extremely silent, which amplified some subtle emotions, such as the scrutiny from the front, which made her breathless, and her trembling body couldn't stop, she swallowed her saliva, and waited tremblingly for Shi Zhen Ming spoke.

"Who are you?" During the long and frightening wait, the girl heard Shi Zhenming ask herself.

"Go back to Patriarch Shi, my daughter Shen Shisan."

"Shen Shisan? What a strange name." Although Shi Zhenming was teasing, there was a skeptical attitude in his words. A woman of unknown origin could do it easily in such a short period of time. She couldn't guess her own mind, Shi Zhenming felt terrible.

"Yes," Shen Shisan was trembling, but he replied sincerely: "My little girl is from Lin'an, her parents died early, and there is an older brother at home, but a few days ago, my older brother said he was going to Langya, but he never came back. I went looking for it alone, got lost, unexpectedly ran into bandits again, and fled to Runan in desperation, so..."

She spoke without any flaws, and even her expression was just right, which made Shi Zhenming even suspect that she was too suspicious.

There was another long silence, Shi Zhenming's eyes were like sharp knives ruthlessly depriving Shen Shisan, his voice was so cold that he said: "Then you should flee north to Yandu. Xiuyan is also a soft-hearted person, and you should not appear in Runan because of emotion and reason." Shi Zhenming leaned forward, like a snake about to prey, narrowed his eyes, and said viciously: "I will give you the last One chance, to be honest."

Shen Shisan curled up her hands slightly on the ground, and she looked down at Shi Zhenming's shoe: "My little girl, everything my little girl said is true."

Shi Zhenming didn't force him any more, straightened up and said, "A Lei, pull him out and beat him to death."

Shen Shisan was still struggling just now, but when he heard this, he immediately shook his head and let go: "I say! Master Shi, I say!"

Shi Zhenming nodded leisurely.

"Little girl from Lin'an, my brother went to Qinchuan to be a bandit. I wanted to follow my brother, but they didn't want a girl, so my brother wanted me to go back to Lin'an. I didn't listen to him and went to Langya, but Langya doesn't allow refugees to enter. , the little girl did go to Yandu after she left Langya, and she survived because of...the ability to steal." Shen Shisan closed his eyes, then opened them again: "That night, I sneaked into Mu's house I want to find some money, but I heard the conversation between Patriarch Mu and Young Master Mu, they said that the new city lord has strangled all the bandits and left no one behind..."

The resentment in Shen Shisan's eyes was overflowing, and her fingers were swollen and swollen from the cold, but she didn't shed tears, all the hatred and annoyance turned into red threads of anger in her eyes, she raised her head and stared at Shi Zhenming's eyes: " I don't care what kind of person that new city lord is, he killed my brother, I am incompatible with him, Patriarch Shi, save my life, my little girl will be grateful!"

"Keep you alive?" Shi Zhenming seemed to have heard some big joke: "Then tell me, what is it worth for me to keep you?"

Shen Shisan knelt on the ground, she was wearing thin clothes, and the coldness of the hard ground was densely drilled into her knees, her legs were already numb, and after a while, she looked up and said, "Master Shi, why don't you borrow soldiers?"

***

Yun Jiming seems to have settled down in Qinchuan, but he searched the Chu mansion all over, but he didn't see Xing Qingzhang, so he put the realization in Fengtian. He stood on the north wall of Qinchuan and looked into the distance, wearing a white robe. Being blown by the wind like a bird with tumbling wings, the feeling of looking at Fengtian from across Yong'an Harbor is not pleasant, the eyes are wet by the wind, and even the heart is wet.

A sudden slap from behind interrupted Yun Jiming's affectionate moment. He turned his head expressionlessly, and smiled comfortably at Qian Yi after stretching: "What are you doing here?"

Yun Jiming turned his face back again, and reminded angrily: "Is it time for you to return to Lin'an?"

The smile on Qian Yi's face disappeared immediately: "You dignified Patriarch Yun is suffering outside, so there is no reason for me to return to Lin'an alone."

Yun Jiming was forced to have goosebumps by his sudden concern and praise, he gritted his teeth and said, "I asked you to take Yun Rulan back to Yunfu, you really forgot all about it."

Yun Rulan was born to a servant girl in Yun Tingke's mansion after she was drunk. The maid originally thought that she would have a son and live comfortably for the rest of her life, but who knew she would give birth to a daughter. Her daughter was sent to the village to be raised, and that maid died of an inexplicable illness before she lived long, and no one cared about Yun Rulan's affairs after that.

Yun Jiming didn't have any feelings for this little girl, but as the eldest brother and now the head of the Yun Family, he naturally wouldn't let her be left outside, so he ordered Qian Yi to send someone to fetch her back.

Mentioning this, Qian Yi's face finally drooped, and his unwrinkled brows were now more tightly wrinkled than Huo Gang's. He sighed and said, "Don't mention it, I sent someone to pick it up a long time ago, but I couldn't find it. People in the village Said that I haven't seen her for a long time, I sent someone to look for it, but I still don't believe it, I think you don't have too much hope, Qin's heart is very small, she will kill a maid, let alone a young lady .”

Yun Jiming also sighed, he was not thinking about this little girl at all, and he was inexplicably sad when he heard that she was missing: "It's my sister anyway..."

Qian Yi nodded and asked: "Then when shall we go back? You are not in Yunfu, so it is still not an option."

Yun Jiming tapped Qian Yi's shoulder with his folding fan, but his eyes didn't change direction, and he said, "Who said I'm going back? I'll be where Shanyuan is."

Qian Yi panicked when he heard this: "Hey, no, my master! You have worked so hard to become the head of the Yun family and now you are the grandson of someone else's land. What are you doing?"

The folding fan slammed on Qian Yi's head, but before Qian Yi could react, he covered his head with an "Ouch".

Although Qian Yi was called Yun Jiming's master, Yun Jiming never regarded him as a subordinate. The two grew up together, and Yun Jiming regarded him as a brother in the early morning. The reason is that Yun Jiming and Xing Yanhong Chu Xinle are different, and Qian Yi and Lin Haochenfan are also different. The way the two of them get along is not a master and a confidant, but a brother.

"You go." Yun Jiming said.

Qian Yi felt that the place where he was beaten hurt even more, and his whole brain began to hurt. He felt that he must be deaf or crazy, so he asked Yun Jiming, "Can you say it again?"

"You go to be the head of the family." Yun Ji repeated concisely.

"You're fucking crazy! What are you doing here! The new city lord won't let you go to Fengtian to see Xing Qingzhang, are you here all day, planning to let the lord not do it and suffer as a retainer? Neuropathy !" Qian Yi couldn't help cursing, his shout echoed in the ripples of the water.

Yun knew that he was neither annoyed nor annoyed, so he quietly waited for Qian Yi to let go of his anger, and his calm words cleared the water: "I'm just crazy, Qian Yi, I find it's too painful without Shanyuan, if he can Calm down, don't talk about being a doorman here, even if he wants me to take Lin'an out, I will give it up."

Qian Yi lost his temper after being tortured by him, and felt soft-hearted when he saw his lost appearance. He swallowed the words he wanted to scold, and said softly, "You are really hopeless."

"Qian Yi, Patriarch Yun! What are you two doing on the city wall!" Liu Tainiu's shout from below interrupted their conversation, Qian Yi turned around and looked down, and saw Liu Tainiu's excited smile, mouth shut Not close.

"Come up to see the scenery, what's the matter!" Qian Yi said.

Liu Tainiu waved his hand to let people come down, and said: "Let's go, let's go to Fengtian, the master wants us to celebrate the New Year together!"

Yun Jiming suddenly turned around when he heard this, and asked, "Together? Is everyone here?"

Liu Tainiu didn't expect the head of the Yun family to ask such a stupid question, but he answered honestly: "Yes, they are all here! Come down quickly!"
