In the second year of Emperor Huai of Dongji, October 23, night.

After experiencing the fierce battle two days ago, Lian Mu wanted to find a time, ask Bu Weilan to borrow some silver taels, and take advantage of the fact that the war has not yet been completely ignited, to feast Qin An, Mo Yan and Meng Jian, and gather at the Heartfelt Restaurant for a big meal to celebrate their escape from death! By the way, they know each other.

As a result, everyone's time could not be put together for various reasons. After escaping from death, Mo Yan took the training of Meng Jian to succeed the northern part of the Frost Sword and Hanjia City as the first task, followed by the torture of Lu You; Qin An, who has not returned home for many years, has been by the side of General Qin during this time, and there is no extra time to give him Lian Mu; As for Meng Jian, he spends most of his time studying with Mo Yan on weekdays, and basically rests in the Heartfelt Restaurant in his spare time.

Regarding the traces of Lu Ming, Meng Jian told Lian Mu about them later. Since he didn't know how to open the secret passage at the end of Lufu, Lian Mu took the lava chopping knife they had captured from the Thousand Thunder Country and melted the stone door directly......

So, this dark passage, which was built by the Qianyu clan and expanded by Lu You, appeared in Lian Mu's eyes. Especially after finding out the true size and quantity of this secret passage, Lian Mu decided to "nationalize" it.

Although most of the stone doors in this area require a specific method to open, Lian Mu did not choose to "melt down" all the stone doors in the secret passage. Considering that these secret passages may be given special strategic significance in a specific period, Mo Yan added an additional secret question about these secret passages to the torture list for Lu You.

And how all the secret doors open in it.

According to Lian Mu's preliminary investigation, these secret passages are all over the "Bright Moon and Mirror Moon", and can accommodate nearly 60,000 people to hide in them. In other words, Lian Mu can use these secret passages as "Hidden Arsenal", and when facing the attack of a strong enemy, he can use mediation, street fighting, harassment, etc., to catch the enemy off guard.

This is undoubtedly a happy event for the country.

When Frostsword found Luming, he was already dead.

Because Meng Jian got lost in the secret passage during the process, he delayed a lot of time, and in the end, it was Mo Jian who made a move to accurately lock Lu Ming's position. As a result, when the light of the crackling torch dispelled the darkness of the secret passage, a stiffened corpse appeared in front of everyone. Deep sunken eyes, desperate eyes, scars all over the body.

Due to the snow in Jibei at the moment, the temperature is too low.

So the body of Lu Ming showed no signs of decomposition.

Although, Luming eventually died of hunger and fear. However, looking at the scars on his body and the dark gold sword that broke into one section after another, Lian Mu guessed that Lu Ming, this kid, must have experienced a fierce battle before he died. Thinking of this, Lian Mu recalled some suspicious details about Meng Jian on the night of October 21. It stands to reason that it is absolutely impossible to defeat Lu Ming with Meng Jian's skills, but in the end, only Meng Jian left this secret passage alive.

And unscathed.

Lian Mu did not share this doubt in his heart with others. This stems from his instinctive partiality towards Meng Jian. Of course, the more important reason is that Lian Mu plans to find out about this matter by himself. After all, if Meng Jian is wronged, it is the moonlight on his heart that has not been in contact with him for many years - Bai Qiang.

As a result, in the process, Meng Jian used the letter on Lu Ming's body and the captured golden dagger to unexpectedly divert Lian Mu's attention. In comparison, Mo Yan was not as easy to fool as Lian Mu. As for how Meng Jian left the secret passage alive, Mo Yan was also very curious.

Whenever he asked Meng Jian about what he and Lu Ming had experienced in the secret passage, Meng Jian either said that he didn't remember it, or he was vague, so during this time, when Mo Jian was teaching Meng Jian how to take care of the northern part of Hanjiasi City, he was also secretly observing Meng Jian, and intentionally or unintentionally testing him. As a result, Meng Jian's reaction was like a fool. This only made Mo Yan even more puzzled about Lu Ming's death.

After reading the letter presented by Meng Jian, Lian Mu directly handed the letter to Mo Yan for a look, and then the letter became the most direct evidence of Luyou's collaboration with the enemy and treason. As more and more truths gradually emerge, Lu You may not be able to die if he wants to die until Mo Yan investigates these important information related to him.

On October 28, Lian Mu was summoned to the palace by Yun Ji to receive a reward because he single-handedly saved the four deputy commanders of the Frost Sword and Cold Armor Division on the night of the fierce battle. In this way, the suspicion of Meng Jian was gradually left behind by Lian Mu because he was "too busy recently......

Mo Yan, who was in charge of torturing Lu You, did not tell Lu You about Lu Ming's death. In the process, Mo Yan deceived Lu You, Lu Ming is still alive, and has been captured by the Frost Sword. Lu Ming didn't believe it, so Mo Yan took out the golden dagger and retold the content of the letter written by Lu You to him.

So, Lu You was shaken.

Mo Yan wanted to use the matter of "Lu Ming is not dead" as a bargaining chip, trying to extract information from Lu You's mouth about the current dream country and the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom, and what role the Xia country intends to play in this process.

As a result, although Lu You's heart was shaken, he didn't do what Mo Yan wanted after all. Because, Lu You knew that once he had all the moves, then he and his son Lu Ming would definitely have only one way to die.

In a blink of an eye, it was October 31.

The snow fell lightly during this period, but it didn't stop.

On that day, after teaching Meng Jian about the process of how to operate the intelligence network, Mo Yan officially devoted all his energy to the torture of Lu You. And Xia Hui and Han Jian found Meng Jian at this time, and fulfilled the promise they made with Meng Jian after escaping death.

Personally taught Meng Jian's "frost cut".

At this time, Han Yu did not fully recover, and his body was wrapped in a lot of gauze. The reason why he came to teach Meng Jian "frost cutting" despite the wind and snow was completely Xia Hui's meaning.

Xia Hui was afraid that there would be a deviation in any detail when she taught Meng Jian, which would cause the "frost cut" that Meng Jian learned to become a bit nondescript. In fact, the deputy commanders of Frost Cut knew very well in their hearts that Han Jian had left a hand when he was teaching the members of Frost Sword.

Therefore, when they learn the "frost cut" themselves, they add some of their own realizations and feelings to it. As a result, the "frost cuts" performed by several deputy commanders other than Han Yu seem to be the same, but they are actually very different.

Everyone actually knew in their hearts what Han Ji's purpose was in doing this, and because it involved the interests of the clan, they all chose to turn a blind eye. What's more interesting is that Lian Mu, who is the commander of the three divisions of the Frost Sword and the "overseer" of the Hanjia Division, actually doesn't know how to perform "Frost Cut".

Lian Mu is best at using guns, not swords. Mo Yan, who did not have any obvious position on Han Yu's hidden thoughts, had not told Lian Mu for the time being, perhaps because the time had not yet come, or perhaps because he still had scruples.

At present, the internal grievances about the Su Kingdom have been temporarily transferred because of the invasion of the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom. The bloody battle on the night of October 21 can be said to be the first coordinated battle between Mingguang Armor, Chiyan Samurai, Frost Sword, and Sabu's "Shuofeng" Iron Cavalry, and the tragic casualties of Frost Sword in the process also alerted the Shuguo clan.

Overall, this is good news.

Although this result is the result of dripping blood. But in Yun Ji's opinion, the sect that has always been high above has finally compromised, but he didn't think that in fact, all this is under Liu Su's control.

In fact, on the issue of the clan and the royal power, it was never Liu Su who really needed to compromise, but the head of the Han family in Yaoguang City who had been hiding in the shadows and inciting friction between the clan and the royal power, that is, Han Bin's father.

In the second year of Emperor Huai of Dongji, October 31, in the afternoon.

Right now, Han Bin, the city lord of Yaoguang who is "living" in Mingyue City, is living in the mansion provided for him by Liu Su, blocking Han Ji, who is about to go out, and letting him recuperate at home. Ever since Han Bin came to Bright Moon City, he had been secretly paying attention to the winds and grasses in Yaoguang City. It seems that in his eyes, Yaoguang City is more important than the entire Shuguo.

When Han Bin learned from Liu Su that after the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country entered, he went straight to Yaoguang City, and the Han family master, who had always been irritable, directly scolded the Xiji Thousand Thunder Country in front of Liu Su, followed by the Mo Kingdom, and finally Yun Fan.

It can be said that Han Bin attributed the main responsibility for the fall of Yaoguang City to Yun Fan's non-farewell back then. If it weren't for Yun Fan's departure, the Mingguang Armor would still be the Mingguang Armor now, and it might even be the Mingguang Armor of his Han clan.

After all, when Yun Fan formed the Mingguang Armor, it was he Han Bin who helped him. In the process, he even did not hesitate to stand on the opposite side of the entire Shuguo clan. As a result, in the end, Yun Fan ran away without a sound, leaving a mess for him to clean up. This made Han Bin feel as disgusting as if he had eaten a mouthful of.

Then, the "Heavenly Fire Tribulation" destroyed the prestige of the Yun clan in the Shu Kingdom, and lifted the deterrence of the Shu Kingdom in Dongji, and it didn't take long for the occurrence of the "Ming Light Change" to change the internal structure of the entire Shu Kingdom. Later, it was the "Jingwei Pass Alliance", the second war between Mexico and Shuguo. Until now, Yun Fan has returned, and the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom has invaded.

Actually, what Han Bin wants is very simple.

There is a strong army that can guard the Han clan's ancestral business in Yaoguang City for him. This is also the reason why he funded Yun Fan in the first place, and it is also the main motive why he will secretly take the lead in infiltrating the Su royal family's forbidden army.

Han Bin's generation is very sensitive to land.

In his eyes, only with land can there be a home, and with a home can there be a country. And what he has to do is to guard the land left to him by his ancestors first, and then his family and country.

In contrast, money is a foreign thing.

Of course, Han Bin didn't really think this way because he regarded money as something outside his body, but because he knew that as long as he had land, it was only a matter of time before he had money. It can be said that Han Bin is a typical representative of the aristocratic landlord class in the Shuguo.

In the courtyard of the Han family in Yaoguang City, there is a huge plum tree with entwined bones, which is said to be thousands of years old. The Han family crest is made with it as a totem, and around this plum tree, the Han family built the Han family compound.

For the Han clan, this tree is of great significance.

However, this is not the real reason why Han Bin cares about this tree. Although, when the Mexican Kingdom occupied Yaoguang City, Han Bin kept chanting about the apparition of his ancestors to bless them Han's assets in Yaoguang City, such as the mansion, land, and the thousand-year-old tree, from being destroyed and bulldozed by those Mexicans. In this way, when the country regains its lost territory in the future, he will not have to spend energy on repairs, and then he can revive his career more quickly.

As a result, now that he learned that Xiji Qianlei Kingdom had entered the country and went straight to Yaoguang City, Han Bin was anxious. As the city lord of Yaoguang City, Han Bin knew very well that since the destruction of Dianxing City by the fire of the burning city, the strategic position of Yaoguang City would be further strengthened.

What does this mean?

This means that as long as the Mexican State holds Yaoguang City and lasts until next spring, then the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom will have to return with hatred, but the problem is that the Mexican State will definitely not be able to hold it. Now that the northern snow of Jibei is sealed, the fire of Dianxing City is still burning very vigorously even in the face of such a blizzard, the reinforcements of the Mexican country cannot arrive, and the countries of Dongji can't help, and the only country that may help the Mexican country is the Xia country, and there is no movement yet.

In fact, if the Xia Kingdom has not made any movement until now, then the battle between the Xiji Thousand Thunder Kingdom and the Mo Kingdom in Yaoguang City will definitely not be able to escape. The "lava chopping knife" of the Thousand Thunder Country, Han Yu told Han Bin when he came back, it was a sharp siege weapon! The stone wall in the secret passage of Lufu was even harder than the city wall of Mingyue City, and as a result, the lava chopping knife was a big hole when it was gently cut.

Thinking of this, Han Bin couldn't help but worry about what to do if those war bears of the Thousand Thunder Country went crazy at that time, don't when the Mo Kingdom did not raze his Han Clan's land, but was flattened by the Thousand Thunder Country. If that's the case, it's too miserable. At that time, the Han clan of Yaoguang City may become the biggest victim of the war in Jibei in these years.

In the past few years, Han Bin has learned a lesson, and he has been closely grouped with the Shuguo clan. So he quickly came out of the loss and damage caused to him by the "Bright Light Change".

After learning that Han Hui was very close to Xia Hui of the Liuyun Xia clan, Han Bin once thought about proposing marriage to the head of the Liuyun Xia clan and forming a family of children, but Xia Hui's father Xia Hong only smiled slightly at this: "Actually, my Xia Hui just treats your family Han Hui as a brother, don't think about it." ”

At the same time of embarrassment, Han Bin was also a little angry at Han Ji's "incompetence". Because, basically, every time Xia Hui has something, he will first look for Han Hui, and Han Hui is very enthusiastic after getting Xia Hui's help. This made Han Bin, as a father, very disgusted.

He felt his son upside down.

No, obviously the serious injury has not healed, but Xia Hui suddenly came to call Han Jian to go out and teach Meng Jian's authentic "Han's Frost Cut", Han Yu went without thinking about it, and he couldn't stop it.

Of course, Han Bin really wanted to stop it, but he could stop it.

So, why didn't Han Bin stop Han Bin? Because at the same time as Han Bin went out, a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of Han Bin's eyes. And that familiar face is Han Bin's adopted daughter - Han Mei.

Regarding Han Mei's arrival, Han Yu didn't seem surprised. It seems that her appearance is specifically to create an opportunity for Han Yu to slip away. Han Ji, who has always known how to grasp the opportunity, will naturally not let go of this opportunity.

But Han Bin, as a father, didn't know the news that Han Mei was still alive at the moment. Although Han Mei contacted Yun Mei through the Han family, it was not Han Bin who could help Han Mei, but Han Ji.

Although over the years, although Han Mei is nominally Han's "adopted daughter", in fact, she has been treated as a "guest" by Han. Fortunately, Han Wei really treated Han Mei as his sister. This makes Han Mei's childhood not as "crippled" as Yun Fan.

In the wind and snow, Han Yu smiled at Han Mei, and then staggered away. Looking at Han Mei who had returned alive, Han Bin, who was originally a little irritable, suddenly didn't know what to say.

The two of them stood silently in place like stone carvings.

Until Han Bin, who is his father, was the first to speak.

"You're back. ”

Han Mei didn't speak, just nodded silently.

At this time, Han Mei was dressed in a black wolf fur, which contrasted sharply with the surrounding scenery. She was pale. It's as if you've just escaped death. Regarding Han Mei's sudden appearance, Han Bin's joy in his heart was actually better than the current helplessness. After a moment of composure, Han Bin slowly stepped forward to welcome her into the back room.

"It's cold outside, let's go inside. ”

Han Mei smiled slightly: "Okay." ”

Slowly, the woman who thought she knew everything about Han Bin unexpectedly noticed that there seemed to be tears in his eyes. She didn't know if the tears were because Han Bin cried with joy when he saw that he was still alive, or because the wind and snow entered her eyes.

Han Mei wanted to know what the real answer was, but reason told Han Mei that she shouldn't know. After all, she is only named Han, this is an established fact. Han Mei didn't expect surprises, but she was afraid of disappointment. And her tangled emotions didn't dissipate like a cloud of smoke until Han Bin spoke again.

Seeing Han Mei returning, although Han Bin did not say anything, but he was sincerely happy, although Han Mei was his "adopted daughter", but after so many years of getting along day and night, Han Bin had already regarded her as his own, but Han Bin, who was not good at expressing delicate emotions, could never express the words in his heart in a very straightforward and simple way.

Every time he wanted to find a topic to cut into, he ended up finding the wrong topic every time, just like now. In the process of slowly walking to the inner room with Han Mei, Han Bin asked Han Mei: "After the fall of Yaoguang City, I thought you were dead. ”

Han Mei: "It was Brother Jianying who saved me." ”

"I haven't raised these customers in vain over the years. Han Bin sighed, "So, where have you been living all this time?"

Han Mei: "Together with Brother Jianying, they live in Yaoguang City, the Han family's compound. ”

Hearing this, Han Bin's eyes suddenly lit up: "Is the thousand-year-old bone-tangling red plum tree that symbolizes our Han clan safe and sound now?"

Han Mei paused, and the expectation in his eyes also dimmed during this period. She said lightly: "Brother Jianying, Sister Su Xian, Mr. Qiu Yu and General Qi Yi have been guarding the Han family compound, and the army of the Mexican Kingdom respects Mr. Qiu Yu very much, and is afraid of Brother Jian Ying and Sister Su Xian, so they have not dared to approach the Han family compound for a long time." ”

"Unexpected, unexpected!" Hearing this, Han Bin, who was originally a little worried, suddenly smiled, "It seems that everything has long been doomed, whether it is success or failure, let it be!"

Between the words, Han Bin, who was a little excited, walked straight to the inner room, and said to Han Mei without looking back: "You find a place to sit first, and I'll go and ask someone to cook you some of your favorite food, and we'll talk while eating later." ”

Han Mei stood in place and bowed and waved his hands: "No." ”

Looking at Han Bin's distant back, Han Mei gradually sobered up a lot. She thought to herself, tears are really used to deceive people a lot of the time, and they work very well. However, a person's habits and manners cannot be disguised by tears.

And these habits and styles will directly withdraw the person's truest thoughts, such as Han Bin. The naïve Han Mei thought that the "father" who had just seen him appear was really escaping death for himself, and then cried with joy. As a result, the facts told her that in fact, all Han Bin cared about was the Han family's compound and the tree in the courtyard.

Han Mei thought to herself, "Yes, since she Han Mei can survive under the sword of the Mo Kingdom, then the Han family compound and the thousand-year-old red plum tree can also survive this chaotic "Second Year of Emperor Huai of Dongji" safely."

Thinking of this, Han Mei couldn't help but smile desolately.
