These words are very pleasing to the ear. Zheng Siying smiled lightly, leaned over, stretched out her root pill finger, and raised Du Yunxin's jaw: "Then, King Xin He, which side do you choose?"

"I think of my Du family, a century-old official family, and she is different from her Xin family! Du Yun's eyes were blazing, "However, don't forget to promise the people's daughter." ”

Zheng Siying raised her eyebrows: "Help the Du family to reinstate the official, reproduce the glory of the year, and let you be the official lady?"

"Not bad. As long as the big girl remembers. Then I'm Du Yunxin. Du Yunxin was stunned word by word, and the desire between his eyebrows was sheng, "I am willing to be a pawn for the girl, a sword mountain and a sea of fire, and I will not give up!"

Zheng Siying smiled, if the peony is delicate, she will move Chang'an: "Isn't this right? ”

Du Yunxin suppressed the blazing in his eyes, regained his gentle and frugal appearance, and bowed his head and said, "Don't worry, big girl." ”

Zheng Siying nodded, and then closed the door and walked out. Du Yunxin stood up, straightened his clothes, sat down on the top, poured himself a pot of tea, and heard the report before he took a few sips.

"Miss Du, Gongzi Xu has arrived. ”

"Please. Du Yunxin put down the teacup and looked out the door.

With a click, the door opened, and it was closed. A young man walked from under the hall, smiling and waving his hands: "Du Jiumei, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Du Yunxin got up and smiled: "Third Brother Xu returned from Dongying (Note 1), and his demeanor is still the same. ”

The two greeted each other, and the host and guest were seated. Du Yunxin carefully looked at the man who was known as "Third Brother Xu", and there was a dim and unknown flow of light in his eyes.

The man is in his early twenties, his face is like grinding, the lines are sharp and angular, the eagle eyes are like stars, Lang Lang is blazing, the chin is a little green stubble, and the black hair is draped behind his shoulders at will, adding more manly spirit to his cold face.

Look at his clothes and accessories, a half-worn ramie black shirt, no beads and no accessories, like pure night, outlining his slightly clear figure, and the cloth shoes on his feet are still stained with mud, showing the dust all the way.

The most striking thing is that he carried a long cloth bag, which seemed to be wrapped with a piano, and the man was dressed plainly, but the piano was wrapped in top-quality silk, which became the most valuable belongings in his body.

A man with such a bearing face is completely different from the son and brother in Chang'an City.

It is not the spring flowers and autumn moon in white clothes, but the chivalrous style of the individual guests in the rivers and lakes, not the poetry and songs in the bustling pile, but the smoke and rain in the waves.

There is a gentleman coming, if the starry night comes. The bamboo forest roars, drunk and lies in the cave.

Du Yunxin smiled meaningfully: "Three years ago, Brother Xu traveled to Dongying, picked the joy of three-flavor shakuhachi (Note 2), and collected the law of Fusang Central Plains. Now that I have returned, look at this style, it seems that I am doing well in Dongying. ”

"It's just that I am aiming to collect the sound of the world and become the beauty of the big sound, and I have only crossed the sea for three years. Now in the word Yuqin, the more you have a different understanding, the more you have gained. It doesn't matter if it's good or bad. The man smiled faintly.

"Yes, Brother Xu is obsessed with a piano word, and he is not at ease in Dongying. Du Yunxin raised his eyebrows, and suddenly aggravated his tone, "But I don't know how the Du family has gone through the vicissitudes of life in the past three years." ”

The man's eyes darkened, his face was ashamed, and he rubbed his hands a little helplessly: "I've heard that Old Man Du is gone, the Du family is defeated, and even you and him ...... It's a pity that I'm in Dongying, and the news is hard to reach, so I don't know all this, otherwise I would have to come back with whatever I said, and I can always help something......"

"Yes, I don't blame you, it's not your fault. Du Yunxin sneered, "It can only be said that providence makes people." It's just that in the three years that you went to Dongying, my Du family encountered this great disaster. ”

The man's face became more and more painful, and his fists clenched and gurgling: "Providence makes people...... But I always feel that I owe you and deserve him...... After all, I wasn't there or there for him when you were at your worst......"

"He, Third Brother Xu still remembers my brother!" Du Yunxin's tone was a little complicated, his eyes were red, and he said sharply, "I thought that when you came back, you didn't recognize anyone anymore when you saw that my Du clan was defeated! After all, in the past three years, my brother and I have seen too much about falling into the well and overturning grievances!

"It's my fault, it's my fault......" The man muttered, so guilty that he didn't dare to look up at Du Yunxin, "Isn't the Du family's old acquaintance still with me, I will never be like them...... I'm back, I'm back......"

Du Yunxin took a deep breath, suppressed the old things of torture, and saw that the man's sincerity was not fake, and the resentment in his eyes faded a little: "Then how does Third Brother Xu plan to help us?"

When the man saw that her face was calm, he hurriedly took out a silver ticket in his arms as if he was forgiving his sins: "When I came back and heard about the Du family's accident, I sold all my belongings and got 1,000 taels of silver, all for you...... Except for the piano on my back, I've given it to you......"

Before the words fell, Du Yunxin suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the silver ticket, which was so fast that it was like a hungry cat seeing a fish, and its eyes were green.

While Du Yun was looking at the silver ticket, the man said with a little uneasiness: "Actually, I came to see Du Jiumei today because of something else...... About Little Hachi ......"

"My brother?" Du Yunxin was busy with the rare silver ticket, and he didn't raise his head, and said casually, "By the way, I said it's strange, why didn't you come back to see my brother, but came to see me first?"

The man looked guilty again, and lowered his head worriedly: "I was the first one who wanted to see him...... But as soon as I heard about the changes in the Du family, I blamed myself for being in Dongying for three years and never helping you for half a point...... I'm afraid that he will resent me, so I don't dare to ...... Therefore, I will come to see you first Ninth Sister, and I bother you to help me find out his style......"

"I'm afraid that my brother will complain about you, don't you dare?" Du Yunxin recalled these words, and always felt that his lips and teeth were fragrant, and he had his own wind and moon, but he couldn't understand it, so he simply shook his head and didn't think about it.

"It's not impossible to help the third brother, but the third brother also has to do me a favor. Du Yunxin changed the topic, and his eyes were faint.

The ninth sister said. The man leaned over.

Du Yunxin looked at the silver ticket, remembering the conversation with Zheng Siying not long ago, and the blazing flame rose in her eyes again.

"On the official road from Shuzhong to the capital, there should be a chess boy and a group of minions at this time, galloping on horses. The Wang family will send shadow guards to send you south, and then when you meet them, you will ask Xu Sange to play a song on the qin, disturb the footsteps of the horses, and delay the itinerary of some chess boys. ”

Fuqin played a song, disturbing the horses and delaying the trip to Beijing.

The words were in his ears, and there seemed to be a lot of tricks, and the man subconsciously hesitated: "The chess boy is also an old acquaintance." I don't know what Du Jiumei's intention is to delay his trip?"

"You don't have to worry about that. Du Yunxin interrupted abruptly, his tone cold.

Seeing that the man frowned uncomfortably, she hesitated a little, and immediately added: "What is Third Brother Xu worried about? It's just that the trip was delayed, and you didn't let you kill people and set fires, or do you not believe Ninth Sister and me?"

"You are Xiaoba's own sister, and you are also my sister, of course I can trust it!" The man hurriedly shook his head, but he still lingered, "It's just, it's not clear, even if it's just a delay in the trip, I think it's not so simple......"

"I had a reason to do that. Since the third brother can trust me, there is no need to delve into it. Du Yunxin's tone became colder, and his gaze at the man was coercive.
