In the dark aisle, Meng Jian sniffed the faint rosin "Chi Yue". This taste, which should have been silent in the past years, dragged Meng Jian into the abyss of memory at this time.

The ambiguous candlelight in the aisle made Meng Jian a little unsure whether he was in a dream or in reality. Until the Xuexi girl in front of her, she called softly: "Meng Gongzi, are you okay?"

"Ahh

Meng Jian slowly gathered his thoughts and smiled awkwardly,

"It's been a bit busy and I haven't rested yet. ”

Xue Xi's eyes were tactful, and she slowly took a step forward between her words.

This detail fell in Meng Jian's eyes, and his heart raced.

"By the way, is Miss Xuexi also from the south?"

Meng Jian tried to find a topic, and then alleviate the embarrassment.

"Yes, I'm from Luoguo, where are you from?" Xue Xi smiled slightly, and lifted her hair to her ears. Meng Jian hesitated for a moment, and finally said with some reluctance: "I am from the country of wild geese. ”

Xue Xi listened to it and was a little curious: "Where is Meng Gongzi from the Yan Kingdom? Why does the accent sound like an imperial capital?"

Meng Jian quipped: "I'm Xuexi girl, guess it." ”

Xue Xi hesitated: "Wild Goose Country, Autumn Leaf City?"

Meng Jian was stunned for a moment, "How did the girl guess it?"

Xue Xi smiled slightly: "If I remember correctly, the Autumn Leaves City of the Wild Goose Country and the Imperial Capital Jingguang are not more than a hundred miles apart. Since Meng Gongzi claimed to be from the Yan Kingdom, but his accent was mixed with some taste of the imperial capital, then it could only be Autumn Leaf City. ”

Meng Jian admired: "Miss Xuexi's guess is really accurate!"

Meng Gongzi was polite. It's just that Xue Xi doesn't understand that the Autumn Leaves City of the Yan Kingdom is located at the southern end of Dongji, near the Abyss Sea, and the Bright Moon City of the Shu Country is located from Dongji to the north, one step away from the North Desert. The two countries and two places, the culture and customs, are almost worlds apart. What was the reason why Meng Gongzi finally decided to cross such a long distance and come here. Between the words, Xue Xi looked at Meng Jian curiously.

Meng Jian hesitated for a long time, and said after thinking about it: "Naturally, I experienced some unexpected changes that I could not look back on, forcing me to leave my hometown. ”

While Meng Jian spoke, Xue Xi quietly observed his every move. In her thoughts, the words of the man in front of her were somewhat true, some were false, and some were coy.

Originally, she thought that Meng Jian would weave an interesting or tragic story, take the opportunity to provoke her interest or pity, and then find an opportunity to get closer, but Meng Jian did not do so. He just downplayed the stories that happened to him in a few words.

Xue Xi saw sadness in Meng Jian's eyes, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth. Xue Xi thought to herself, if this person doesn't really have a story, then he must be like himself, and he has some secrets that can't be said.

After thinking about it, Xue Xi did not ask Meng Jian about the reason for leaving the Yan Kingdom, but said knowingly: "So, Meng Gongzi came to Mingyue City in the north of Ji. ”

Meng Jian sighed: "Well, then I came here and went to my brother Lian Mu." ”

"Oh, I see. Xue Xi pretended to know about it for the first time. In fact, regarding the relationship between Meng Jian and Lian Mu, when Meng Jian met Liu Fengsoul again before, Xue Xi had already known through their conversations. It's just that Meng Jian didn't know that Xue Xi already knew about it, and what she had plans for it.

Meng Jian sighed, "By the way, why did Miss Xuexi come to Bright Moon City?"

"I'm here to find something. Between the words, the elegant woman's eyes were lowered and her expression was slightly sad, "But now she has completely lost her mind." ”

"What's that?" Meng Jian looked at Xue Xi curiously, "Is there anything I can do to help the girl, just say it directly!

Hearing this, Xue Xi smiled slightly.

"Actually, I'm looking for a few books. ”

"What kind of books do you need Miss Xuexi to travel so far to find them?" Meng Jian wondered, "These books must be very important to Miss Xuexi, right?"

"These books are mainly about the rise and fall of a family. Xue Xi paused, and observed Meng Jian's reaction between the words.

Meng Jian: "Is it Miss Xuexi's family?"

Xuexi: "No, it's not, is it important?" ”

"No, no, I just asked casually. Meng Jianhan said with a smile, and Xue Xi didn't answer again. For a moment, the atmosphere became a little awkward. In fact, Meng Jian knew. Those who can afford the spice "Chi Yue" are basically aristocrats, and Xue Xi herself mentioned to Meng Jian just now that she is from the southern country of Luo, which makes Meng Jian can't help but think of these two things.

As a result, Meng Jian's question directly made Xue Xi silent for a long time. Xue Xi suddenly wondered if Meng Jian's question was serious or tentative. Or maybe it's just a casual question.

Seeing Xue Xi fall into silence, Meng Jian was a little puzzled. It's just that Meng Jian's doubts are not about Xue Xi's identity, but because he wonders if he said the wrong thing, which then makes Xue Xi a little unhappy.

"You two, you still haven't slept so late?"

At this moment, the shopkeeper of the Heartfelt Restaurant suddenly carried a lamp and appeared behind Xue Xi silently, directly making Meng Jian and Xue Xi a big jump. Meng Jian looked at it and saw that it was Shopkeeper He, so he frowned and said angrily: "Shopkeeper He, in the middle of the night, your silent appearance like this will scare people to death!"

The light of the warm lamp came from bottom to top, reflecting the emaciated face of the shopkeeper He. But seeing the shopkeeper He with a tired face, he deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of waking up the other residents, and did not forget to remind: "Meng Gongzi, be quieter! If you don't sleep, others still have to sleep! You didn't notice me, it's not that my steps are light, but that you and this Xuexi girl are really too involved in chatting, if there is anything you can say tomorrow, or go into the house to say, they are all chatting in the aisle, don't sleep tonight!"

Meng Jian was a little displeased and said: "What do you mean? How can I, Meng Jian, be that kind of frivolous person? Between me and Miss Xuexi, I am innocent, what can I say here!

Xue Xi, who was originally silent, slowly hid behind Meng Jian at this time. And showed a wary look to the shopkeeper He, who has always been astute, after listening to Meng Jian's "righteous words" and seeing the reaction of Xuexi, a distinguished guest, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing because of his difficulties, and offended the two distinguished guests at once.

So, Shopkeeper He slapped himself with a "snap", which directly scared Meng Jian, "You, what are you doing? Lao He, if you have something to say, don't hurt yourself, don't touch porcelain! I don't have a lot of money in my pocket this month!"

But I heard the shopkeeper He crying: "The little honest man, he didn't read many books when he was a child, his mouth is stupid, and he can't speak! If there is anything that offends the two of you just now, please Haihan! It's just that the night is dark, if the two of you don't have anything important, can you talk again tomorrow! The two don't rest, the little one and the guys in the store have to rest." What books are you looking for, look for them slowly tomorrow, if you can't find them, we can help you together!"

Xuexi: "......"

Meng Jian: "......"

"Yes, that's right! Between the words, Shopkeeper He turned his eyes downstairs, and the guys in the store were carrying lamps at this time, looking up at Shopkeeper He, Meng Jian, and Xuexi.

Shopkeeper He sighed, "So, are you still talking?"

Meng Jian looked downstairs embarrassedly, not knowing what to say for a while, Xue Xi, who was hiding behind Meng Jian, brushed his sleeves at this time and went back to the house with a calm face. This scene made Meng Jian feel even more embarrassed, "Miss Xuexi......"

He wanted to take a step forward to keep her, but when he thought of the current embarrassing situation, Meng Jian turned around and asked Shopkeeper He: "Did you all hear what we chatted about just now?"

Shopkeeper He sighed silently, and looked at the guy downstairs.

The guys in the store said in unison: "We all heard it!"

“......”

At this time, Meng Jian looked at Xue Xi and left, and her back fell silent.

Shopkeeper He sighed again, and patted Meng Jian's shoulder: "Master Meng, I don't mean anything else, but listen to Lao He's advice, you and this Xuexi girl are not all the way from beginning to end." Lao He is very accurate, I don't have any intention of belittling Meng Gongzi, just in my opinion. I'm afraid this girl will delay Meng Gongzi's great future!"

Meng Jian was indifferent: "So what?"

Speaking of this, Shopkeeper He deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid that someone would hear their next conversation: "Both of you are distinguished guests of our inn. However, Lao He was entrusted by the Bai family to take care of Meng Gongzi. What Lao He said just now, Meng Gongzi may sound a little harsh, but Lao He will still say it where he should say it in the future. ”

Meng Jian sneered: "You just want to take me to a strange place! Don't think I don't know, what a shopkeeper! Money can't buy love!"

Shopkeeper He was speechless: "Master Meng, you really don't know anything about money. That's it, let's not talk about it! Lao He kindly persuaded you, Meng Gongzi, that you actually think of me like this! Alas! It's so hurtful! It's so hurtful!"

"Huh?"

"Woe to the water!"

Between the words, Shopkeeper He turned around and left,

"Woe to the water!"

As he walked, he repeated it again.

After thinking about it, looking at the figure of Shopkeeper He leaving, Meng Jian began to think about what Miss Xuexi said to herself tonight, as well as what Shopkeeper He said just now. But at this moment, the shopkeeper He had already arrived downstairs, and dispersed the guys who were watching the excitement: "What is there to see, it's all scattered! Go to sleep!"

At this time, Shopkeeper He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Meng Jian:

"Meng Gongzi, rest early!"

Meng Jian didn't speak, he hesitated for a moment, and then bowed down with Shopkeeper He. After seeing this scene, Shopkeeper He sneered and shook his head: "Alas!

Qianyu Fenghua, who returned to the house, although he didn't hear what Shopkeeper He was whispering to Meng Jian in the aisle just now, but he heard Shopkeeper He's sigh all the way, and then showed a very ugly face. Duan Nian on the side clenched the knife on his waist and was about to go out to give Shopkeeper He some warnings, but was stopped by Qianyu Fenghua. Duan Nian looked at Qianyu Fenghua puzzled: "Master, this shopkeeper has something to say." ”

Qianyu Fenghua shook his head: "Forget it." ”

Duan Nian was puzzled: "Why?"

Xue Xi explained: "If you go out now, if you let that Meng Jian see it, how should I explain?"

Duan Nian was silent and tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife.

Qianyu Fenghua's gaze fell on the knife on Duan Nian's waist: "This knife is good, I didn't even notice it when you came in just now." Where did it come from?"

Duan Nian said respectfully: "I just looked for a blacksmith in the city to build it a few days ago. Be prepared in advance for special situations that may arise in the future. ”

Qianyu Fenghua was curious: "Special circumstances?"

Duan Nian nodded: "For example, my master and I fell into some strange trap." If I use the soft sword in my sleeve, I will definitely not be able to break the shackles, but if I use this sword, I only need one blow to help my master escape. ”

"It's good, be prepared. Hopefully, there will never be this day. Qianyu Fenghua's gaze gradually deepened, "The shopkeeper of this inn is not simple. Since he dared to say so, he naturally had confidence. Offending him now does us no good. It's just a pity that Meng Jian's road may not work. ”

Duan Nian looked at Qianyu Fenghua puzzled: "What's the matter, master?

But seeing a strand of drooping hair falling, she subconsciously put the drooping hair to her ear, and pondered: "Whether you notice it, this has to be observed." If he really notices something at this time, I'm afraid I'll have to find a way to round it up. ”

Speaking of this, Qianyu Fenghua's gaze touched Duan Nian. She saw the killing intent in Duan Nian's eyes, and understood what he wanted to do, so she said lightly: "Killing him won't do us any good." Anytime. ”

Between the words, Qianyu Fenghua's gaze gradually deepened: "After all, he has a certain bond with Lian Mu, if he dies suddenly." At that time, what we need to face is probably the three divisions of the Frost Sword of the Dreaming Country, so the gains outweigh the losses. ”

Duan Nian frowned: "Then what now?"

Qianyu Fenghua said wistfully: "Wait." ”

Duan Nian was puzzled: "Just keep waiting?"

This time, Qianyu Fenghua did not answer Duan Nian's question.

......

In the snowfall, it is getting late.

Yanagifu, the intersection of three major gardens.

The people passing by here did not dare to stop.

Right now, Liu Fengchen picked up the umbrella on the ground and shook off the snow on it. As for Lu Weiwen, he slapped the snowflakes on his body at this time. Everything went back to the moment when Liu Fengchen didn't ask Lu Weiwen about his opinion on the "change of bright light".

In silence, Liu Fengchen raised his eyes and looked at the sky, and then motioned to Lu Weiwen and said, "Since Mr. has made up his mind to go today, why don't I send Mr. back to Lu Yuan?"

"This is too troublesome, I'll just walk back alone. Lu Weiwen smiled faintly. In fact, in his heart, he really hoped that Liu Fengchen could accompany him back, after all, when he went to buy rice on the street, he would carry it for him, and he would have a lot of strength left. But after thinking about it, if Liu Fengchen was allowed to see the five flowers and six leaves, then it was estimated that the past of the "Twin Stars" would have to be explained and said again.

This is not a good thing for the living or the dead. Before Lu Weiwen figured out a way to Zhaoxue for Shen Menglong, what he could do was to try not to let more people know the identities of Wuhua and Liuye. As for Lu Weiwen's prevarication, Liu Fengchen didn't think much about it.

"I'm going to arrange for the people in the house to prepare the carriage. ”

"You don't have to!"

"Now it's snowing heavily, and the distance from Liufu in Bright Moon City to Lu Yuan in Mirror Moon City is not ordinarily far. Sir is a distinguished guest in the house, and it would be too lazy for you to leave alone under such circumstances!"

Lu Weiwen: "Mainly on the way back, I didn't hear that there were other things to do, and I didn't know when I would be able to do it, so I didn't want to cause trouble to others." ”

Liu Fengchen: "Mr. is so polite. ”

Lu Weiwen: "The son's kindness is unheard." ”

Between the words, Lu Weiwen bowed and waved his hands.

Liu Fengchen hesitated, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a moment of silence, Liu Fengchen said respectfully to Lu Weiwen: "Then I'll send Mr. to the gate of the mansion." When the time comes, I will hand over this umbrella in my hand to Mr. It's not a valuable thing, so please take it by all means. ”

Lu Weiwen smiled slightly: "Okay." ”

In the middle of the move, the two faced the wind and snow and left slowly.

Seeing that it was getting late, the people of Liufu also lit up the lanterns in each courtyard at this time. The entire Liufu ushered in another scenery in the wind and snow, which made Lu Weiwen can't help but slow down.

At this time, Liu Fengchen continued to ask about some things he hadn't finished asking just now, and took advantage of the last bit of time to continue asking: "By the way, Mr. said just now." There is a bigger secret behind that "Mingguang Change"? If according to the previous gentleman's inference, in this incident, has our Liu clan been used as a chess piece, then who will be the chess player?"

As he walked slowly, Lu Weiwen heard Liu Fengchen's question, but he didn't seem to want to answer for him. Lu Weiwen's eyes were attracted by the "Han" Garden at this time. Seeing that Lu Weiwen didn't pay attention to himself, Liu Fengchen called Lu Weiwen again: "Sir?"

At this time, Lu Weiwen asked Liu Fengchen suspiciously: "That park is the "Han" garden, right?"

Between the words, Liu Fengchen looked into the distance with Lu Weiwen's gaze, "Yes, that park is the 'Han' Garden. ”

"I heard that the name of this park is named after the sister of the Lord of Yunchen, that is, the Lord of Yunhan, right?" When he said this, Lu Weiwen deliberately turned his head to see the change in Liu Fengchen's complexion. Liu Fengchen paused for a moment, and then said lightly: "These are just rumors, just listen to it, sir." Don't take it seriously. ”

Lu Weiwen smiled faintly.

He thought to himself, "It seems that Liu Fengchen, the eldest son of the Liu family, has too deep a grudge against the Yun family. I'm afraid this knot really can't be untied in a few words."

Seeing that Lu Weiwen didn't speak, Liu Fengchen suddenly wondered: "Why did Mr. suddenly ask like this, could it be that there is something special about this "Han" Garden that has attracted Mr.'s attention?"

Lu Weiwen actually used this "rumor" to test whether he had eased his hostility towards the Yun clan after talking so much to Liu Fengchen in the evening. However, this certainly cannot be said right away. Therefore, after hesitating for a moment, Lu Weiwen said slowly: "There is nothing else, I just saw it suddenly, so I suddenly thought of it." As the "first capital of Jibei", Liufu has always been famous for "three major parks and one pool of spring water". I haven't heard that I've been in Liufu for a while, but it's a shame that I have barely recognized these three major parks until now. ”

"Another day, when Mr. is free, Fengchen is willing to lead the way for Mr. and personally introduce Mr. to every grass and tree in the house. Liu Fengchen said politely, which made Lu Weiwen suddenly a little flattered: "Then it will be bothering the wind and dust boy at that time!"

Liu Fengchen bowed: "Mr. is polite." ”

As he spoke, the two had arrived at the gate of Liufu.

"Just send it here. Lu Weiwen said politely.

"If in the future, Mr. will have a place where he can get the dust, just say it. Today, I heard Mr.'s views on the theory of "providence and fate", and the wind and dust are like an initiation, and I hope that when Mr. is free, he will come to the house more often. Liu Fengchen said warmly, "In the future, Liufu will also be Mr.'s home." ”

Lu Wei smiled without saying a word, and bowed to say goodbye.

Then, he took the umbrella from Liu Fengchen's hand.

In silence, he slowly disappeared into the wind and snow.

Looking at the back of Lu Weiwen leaving, Liu Fengchen fell into deep thought. After thinking about it, he suddenly remembered that Lu Weiwen had not yet told him what kind of "bigger secret" was hidden behind this "change of bright light".

In the wind and snow, this indifferent man was isolated.

He began to think about what Lu Weiwen's intention to change the topic just now was. Could it be that the time has not yet come to expose the "bigger secret" behind this "change of bright light"? Or is the actual situation not as complicated as Lu Weiwen said, and all this is just his trick?

In fact, when Lu Weiwen was testing Liu Fengchen, Liu Fengchen was also quietly testing Lu Weiwen. Maybe they are aware of this for each other, but they just didn't say it. Perhaps it was precisely because of this that Lu Weiwen did not finish his words in the end.

Thinking of this, Liu Fengchen felt that this handsome boy from Dianxing City was becoming more and more interesting. When the night covered the sky, the lanterns gradually lit up, looking at the direction of Lu Weiwen's departure, Liu Fengchen smiled coldly.

"Lu Weiwen, we will see you again. ”
