After leaving Tongmen Alley, Ji Huanxi was surprisingly silent.

She lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, like a child who had done something wrong, and Nuno followed behind Jiang Huanshui and Wei Lai.

After trembling and walking out of a distance, Jiang Huanshui seemed to realize the girl's strangeness, he stopped, and Wei Lai, who was supporting him, also stopped.

The old man looked back at the girl and smiled: "Girl, hurry up, why can't even the old man go?"

Ji Huanxi, who was thinking about her thoughts, was stunned when she heard this, looked up at the old man, and seemed to feel the kindness of the other party, she forced a smile on her face, and then walked to the old man's side.

Seeing this, Jiang Huanshui took another step.

"Lao Yue is a very good person, admitting death, the battle back then, the blow to him was really greater, don't be surprised by the girl. "Jiang Huanshui has lived for so many years, and he is still standing in this treacherous Dayan Dynasty for decades, his eyesight is naturally excellent, but he can see at a glance that Ji Huanxi is still worried about the controversy that ended without a problem.

Ji Huanxi didn't nod either, just frowned and asked: "Back then, the Qi Chu army surrounded Yuxue City, and the 600,000 army claimed to be able to pacify Dayan, among which there were Qi Weilong, the god general of the Qi country, and Ma Nuo, the god general of the Great Chu Kingdom, who led the army, both of whom were strong in the Holy Realm. I have read about this battle in the collection of Longxiang Palace, saying that the Great Yan Imperial Court at that time had already written a surrender book, and no one in the court thought that this battle could have the slightest chance of winning. But in the end, General Yue stubbornly resisted the 600,000 Qichu coalition army, and after sacrificing more than 100,000 Sanxiao troops, he repelled them. ”

"And from that day on, General Yue has not been heard from, and the records in the court say that General Yue died on the battlefield, but ......"

Speaking of this, Ji Huanxi's brows furrowed again: "But if this is the case, with General Yue's merits, it is enough to enter the ancestral temple of Yanting, but everything about General Yue in the book came to an abrupt end here." I used to think that it was General Yue who was completely destroyed after the battle in Jade Snow City, even if the imperial court wanted to invite his Yin God back, he couldn't do it, but when I saw the general today, I realized that he was very disappointed in my Dayan Imperial Court......"

Jiang Huanshui, who heard this, glanced at the girl sideways and said with a smile: "The girl is not very old, but she is worried about the country and the people. ”

Ji Huanxi smiled bitterly and arched his hand towards Jiang Huanshui: "Please also ask the state pastor to tell me what happened back then?"

Jiang Huanshui was stunned, and said faintly: "On the one hand, there are hundreds of thousands of strong troops and two Saint Realm powers, and on the other hand, there are the remnants of the Battle of Barbarian Hongguan and a leader who can be worthy of the Seven Realms. ”

"Do you think this battle can be won?"

Ji Huanxi shook his head: "This is also the doubt of the younger generation, even now I don't know how General Yue won this big battle at the beginning." ”

Jiang Huanshui stopped and looked sideways at Ji Huanxi, his cloudy eyes narrowed at that time, and some kind of deep brilliance flashed in the narrow slit of his eyes.

"The price. He said this, and his voice was very low, so low that it was very different from the usual state pastor who was not alarmed by everything.

"The price?" Ji Huanxi heard the strangeness in the old man's tone, but he didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words.

But the old man continued: "It's so big that a knife can no longer hold the price of a knife......

......

Wei Lai frowned and thought about his thoughts.

He didn't want to deny that he didn't hate Ji Huanxi as much as he appeared, in all fairness, since they met in that ancient Tong City, this girl hadn't really done anything heinous, and she hadn't caused Wei Lai any trouble. But after all, it was difficult for him to guess this girl's thoughts, not to mention that she was still from the Jin family, and the estrangement that Wei Lai subconsciously showed was more like a kind of self-protection.

He secretly felt that this girl was no less terrifying than Ao Xiu......

It is precisely because of this that Wei Lai is of course full of doubts about Jiang Huanshui's behavior of taking this girl with him, especially the fact that he also spied on the secret that Yue Pingqiu is still alive.

He couldn't figure out whether his grandfather was hiding it deeply, or if it was really as Ji Huanxi said, he was old enough that he was unwilling and could no longer participate in Dayan's troubled waters, so does this trip mean that his grandfather is showing favor to the Jin family?

Wei Lai, who was thinking about this, suddenly noticed that the old man who was being supported by himself stopped, he was stunned, looked at the old man, but saw Jiang Huanshui squinting his eyes and looking at somewhere beside him.

Wei Lai subconsciously looked in the direction the old man was looking, and his body shook at that moment......

Probably because he was thinking about his heart before, Wei Lai, who was walking forward, just lowered his head and hurried away without paying attention to the surrounding situation, plus the experience of Fang Cai, everyone had some worries, and they were silent along the way, and Wei Lai didn't notice where he went. At this moment, when I looked sideways, I was in front of me the Wupan Dragon King Temple that had been built by Yuan Sleeve Chundu!

On that day, Yuan Zhichun put on a battle and attracted many people in Ningxiao City, who were about to carry the statue of the Wupan Dragon King into the temple, but Wei Lai cut off the head of the idol with a knife. Later, although Ao Xiu came in person, Jiang Huanshui also took action at that time to calm down the matter, and Ao Xiu's entry into Ningxiao City and the last step of becoming a true Zhaoyue Zhengshen was also stranded.

But at this moment, when Wei Lai looked at the temple again, he could clearly see that in the temple gate, the statue of the dragon king stood proudly in it, and there were even pilgrims worshipping in the temple.

"It was probably the seventh day when Wei Gongzi went to the mountains and rivers, and General Jin ordered someone to completely repair the unfinished temple, and ordered the craftsman to build the statue of the god overnight, and invited him into Ningxiao City. As if seeing Wei Lai's doubts and surprises, Ji Huanxi stepped forward and whispered beside Wei Lai. At the end, it seemed that it was not enough, so he glanced at the old man on the side again, and added: "It was an official document personally approved by the state pastor to agree to this matter." ”

Wei Lai's body trembled again, his other hand clenched into a fist under the cuff, the green tendons on the back of his hand bulged, and the eyes that looked at the temple were like fierce flames.

"After all, it is the Zhaoyue God canonized by the imperial court, and his actions are a little biased, but the meaning of the imperial court is there, how can the old man disobey it, I just hope that this Zhaoyue Zhengshen can live up to the high hopes of the girl and the court. Just when Wei Lai's heart was surging with anger, the old man beside him suddenly spoke slowly.

Wei Lai came back to his senses when he heard the sound, his face changed, he glanced deeply at the old man on the side, and it took some strength to suppress the dissatisfaction and doubts that were surging in his heart.

"Let's go. Seeing this, the old man said, Wei Lai nodded, then picked up Jiang Huanshui again and walked in the direction guided by the old man.

......

It was almost spring, but it was still snowing lightly in Ning Xiao City, and the sky was getting late, and the night wind was cold.

Wei Lai was a little worried that if Jiang Huanshui's body caught the cold, he was afraid that it would aggravate his condition. He deliberately asked if the other party needed to return to the state pastor's mansion, but the old man was surprisingly stubborn and rejected Wei Lai's proposal.

Wei Lai was silent, the misunderstanding between him and Jiang Huanshui had been resolved long before he went to the Mountains and Rivers, but after many years, it was difficult for Wei Lai to get along with him like ordinary ancestors and grandchildren. At this moment, he was obviously worried about Jiang Huanshui's body, but after asking once, after being rejected by the old man, he didn't know how to speak again.

Soon the three of them came to a remote alley, it was getting late, the time had passed, and with the existence of those Cangyu guards, there were already few pedestrians in Ningxiao City at this moment, but there were lights shining at the corner of the alley.

"That stall is a time-honored store in Ning Xiaocheng, the fried noodles in the store are delicious, your mother loved to eat this thing when she was a child, and she pestered me every day, which made me annoyed. ”

"I was so busy with government work that I couldn't get out of my body, so I avoided her...... But later, when she met a guy, she promised to make fried noodles for her every day, which deceived your mother, think about it, it's a pity. Jiang Huanshui's voice sounded at that time, and the old man said slowly, his face was not full of regret, but it was full of remembrance and a kind of sadness that was so faint that it was almost imperceptible.

That kind of hidden emotion, if it weren't for the old man who also felt it when Wei Lai said this, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to detect it......

About his aunt, the woman named Jiang Rou, Wei Lai has too many memories about her, and these memories were all washed away by a big flood that night.

He seldom remembered anything about his mother and his father, for whenever he did, the lingering memories would always come down to the waters of that day, and the anger and pain would tear through his chest, and he could not do anything about it. He knew very well that he was no match for the god, and that he had to be patient, and the most important thing was to be calm enough. He was afraid that anger would overwhelm his composure, so he forced himself not to think about it, not to look at it.

But at this moment, Jiang Huanshui's mention inevitably reminded him of the bits and pieces about his mother again, his fists clenched, and he asked in a low voice, "Why did you let it settle in Ningxiao City?"

His voice was very low, but even Ji Huanxi, who was standing on the side, heard what he said truly. The girl was stunned, staring at the pair of grandchildren in front of her with a strange expression, and she had a vague premonition that some conflict would happen here.

But apparently she underestimated the lion, who was now as docile as a sheep.

The old man turned a deaf ear to Wei Lai's inquiry, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the noodle stall not far away, and said, "Let's eat a bowl." It's been a long time since I've eaten noodles from this house, but today I smell this aroma and I don't feel a little hungry. ”

Of course, Wei Lai understood that Jiang Huanshui didn't hear his inquiry, but his grandfather deliberately diverted the topic.

He frowned, but after all, he suppressed the anger in his heart and nodded calmly.

......

The noodle stall has no signboard, the shop is obviously an ordinary person, and none of the husband and wife who are over forty years old recognize Jiang Huanshui, but just greet them warmly as guests.

The two of them soon caught fire, and within half an hour, three bowls of hot fried noodles were served.

Putting aside the unhappiness just now, Wei Lai has to admit that this fried sauce noodles are really good, and just smelling the aroma before moving the chopsticks makes people have a great appetite.

Wei Lai was about to move his chopsticks, but the old man next to him said: "This family's fried noodles have to be delicious with the wine of the Bai family on Hengluo Street. ”

Wei Lai was stunned for a moment, and looked sideways at the old man beside him, but the old man had already eaten by himself, and he didn't mean to listen to Wei Lai's words at all. Wei Lai smiled bitterly, but he had to answer the old man, he nodded, stood up, and walked away quickly in the face of the wind and snow.

Wei Lai's feet were extremely fast, and he disappeared in the blink of an eye, except for the couples who were still busy not far away, only Ji Huanxi and Jiang Huanshui were left on this stall.

Ji Huanxi saw this situation in her eyes, a pair of beautiful eyes narrowed, she also put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at Jiang Huanshui with heavy eyes: "Zhou Mu transferred Wei Gongzi, is there anything to tell the juniors?"

The old man didn't raise his head, and the sound of drinking noodles sounded loudly, and after a while, he asked, "When are you going to do it?"

The few words in this flat tone made the smile on Ji Huanxi's face freeze instantly, she was stunned, and spent about three breaths to put away her defense thoughts, and then it took a while to organize the wording, and said in a low voice: "I have already repaired three letters to Niangniang, let Niangniang take back her life, and the state pastor can rest assured ......"

Ji Huanxi said this, but was interrupted by the old man before he finished speaking.

"You trust Niangniang very much?"

Ji Huanxi responded: "I have no reason not to trust her. ”

"That's right. Jiang Huanshui nodded, her head was raised at that time, and she looked directly at the girl, at that moment, Ji Huanxi was in a trance, as if she saw the male lion that made the north bow again. But this illusion lasted only a moment, and then it disappeared, and the old man's old and somewhat hoarse voice sounded again: "Then don't write a letter, she won't listen to you." You trust her, but you don't know her. ”

"Seven days is enough. ”

The old man's words made Ji Huanxi's heart skip a beat, she didn't know what went wrong, and let the old man gain insight into their plan. What made her even more frightened was that she suddenly remembered the seven-day appointment between the old man and Yue Pingqiu when she left Tongmen Lane......

She calmed down and calmed down the surging emotions in her heart, and after a while, she looked at the old man again and asked suspiciously, "Isn't the state pastor not afraid at all?"

"What are you afraid of?" Jiang Huanshui asked with a smile squinting his eyes.

"Of course I'm afraid, so why don't you come and eat a bowl of this fried noodles before General Jin kills me?"

Ji Huanxi became more and more confused, and she frowned: "But the state pastor can do something, as long as you are willing to ......"

This time, her words were interrupted by the old man again: "Girl." ”

The old man said this, looking at her with a meaningful gaze, as if he wanted to see the girl thoroughly.

"You're smart, but you're not smart enough for what you have to do. ”

"I originally wanted to say this to Ah Cheng's child, but I didn't want to use it on you first. ”

"Remember. The old man said, slowly took the vinegar jar on the table, poured some into his bowl, and then said quietly.

"There is never a double law in this world, it is true for you, and it is true for me. ”

"No matter how smart you are, you don't. ”
