The autumn of the eleventh year of Koji seems to be a bit long, and this length is not in time, but in human psychology.

This year, the little princess in the palace became more and more weak, sometimes good and sometimes bad, which made Emperor Hongzhi and Empress Zhang Niangniang feel distressed, and lived like a year;

This year, Shandong and other places suffered a series of natural and man-made disasters, thousands of miles of red land, and countless displaced people. Although Wuqing's birth in Su Mo was contained, and the imperial court also urgently arranged many countermeasures, it was still a drop in the bucket for other places, and it did not make a reversive change, and it could only be barely maintained. When exactly it was a leader, no one knows;

This year, on the northern desert, the battle between Dayan Khan of Mengyuan and the former national teacher Yisimain reached the most critical juncture.

It was still this year, because of one person, the northwest land suddenly became chaotic and turbulent, and the whole was stirred into a pot of porridge. It seems that overnight, countless forces suddenly appeared, and no one knew where these people came from or what they were going to do.

Because of this confusion, everyone knew one name: Sumer. For this talented man who was born out of nowhere, everyone was indifferent and discussed. For the chaos caused by him alone, there are those who curse, those who sigh, those who admire, and some people who are deeply worried......

Compared with the turbulent north, the city of Suzhou, located in the southeast, is still a song and dance, prosperous and peaceful. No one takes the unrest in the north seriously, because they are too far away.

For the people of Suzhou City, those things are just after-dinner conversations. Whenever I talk about those things, I am probably amazed or excited, and then I happily participate in it, pointing out the country and stirring up words, so as to gain everyone's attention.

And on this day, in an inconspicuous restaurant somewhere in Suzhou City, on the second floor of the window, a middle-aged man in a long shirt sat alone and drank, looking into the sky through the window, his eyes were full of worries and insoluble sorrows.

"Mo'er, Mo'er......" The man looked at it for a long time, retracted his gaze, took the wine cup on the table and drank it all, let out a long breath, and muttered in a low voice. It seems that all the worries and anguishes in my heart will be spit out from that breath.

If anyone who knows Su Mo is here, they will find that the appearance of this middle-aged man is seven or eight points imaginary to Su Mo. And this person is Su's father, Su Hong, who resolutely left Beijing with his son in mind.

After learning a series of news from his son, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and left the capital insisted.

But he knew that as Su Mo's father, he didn't know how many malicious eyes were staring at him. Therefore, when he left the capital, he immediately found an opportunity to throw off the guards assigned to him by the British government and sneaked into the flow of people alone.

It's not that he doesn't trust the British duke, but because if he wants to help his son, he must first obtain something. Only with that can he gain enough strength to go north to help his son.

Only in this way can even the personal entourage sent by the British government be thrown off, so that he can completely disappear under those malicious eyes. You can not only protect yourself, but also keep the secret in your hands.

Sure enough, the news of his disappearance soon came out, and no one could have imagined that he, who was anxious to save his son, did not go north immediately, but turned to the south in the opposite direction.

He had to return to his ancestral home first, and Su Mo's grandfather had left him three things. Among them, the broken blade was given to the British duke, so he received the full support of the British duke, and the ring, he had already given to his son Su Mo through Zhang Yue. Even he didn't know the specific function, but he knew that it had to be passed down from generation to generation, and the meaning of the other two things was completely different.

And the last one, he thought of this, reached out and touched his arms, and a look of confusion flashed on his face. Can this thing really be that powerful? Hopefully, hopefully, it will be as my father said.

He thought silently, raised his hand and drank another glass, slightly relieving the worry in his heart. Judging from the news I got some time ago, my son should be fine for the time being, but looking at the heavens and opening his eyes, and the blessing of his ancestors, Mo'er can be auspicious in trouble, seek good fortune and avoid evil, and can wait until he has obtained the strength to converge.

Everything went smoothly on this trip to his ancestral hometown, but as soon as he inquired after coming out, he learned about Su Mo's news. Su Mo had disappeared too! But this disappearance, like him, was obviously deliberate.

With Su Hong's understanding of his son, Su Mo must have noticed something, and he already had a sufficient plan, so he was a little relieved. But a little looser, but I can't let go of my son's worries.

Especially now that Su Mo has played this disappearance, although he has dragged the enemy, it has also made him lose his direction. Even if he had gained strength, where would he go to join his son, should he continue to search in the Northlands, or should he go outside the gates?

He couldn't think about it, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but come to this restaurant to drink a few glasses to dissipate. But I didn't know that the wine was even more sorrowful, and after a few glasses, it became more and more depressed.

I picked up the flask again and wanted to pour it, but I suddenly felt a light in my hand, but there was no more wine in the jug.

He smiled wryly and shook his head, simply stopped drinking, called Xiao Er to settle the account, staggered out of the door, and went straight out of the city. Since I can't sort it out for the time being, let's hurry up and get that power in our hands first. Perhaps, by then, there will be new news?

Thinking like this, he made up his mind a little, and this can be regarded as self-comfort. Out of the city, the cold wind of late autumn blew, which made his somewhat dizzy head suddenly clear, and even his spirit was lifted. Spotting the direction, let go and striding forward.

When I didn't walk much, I suddenly felt wrong. I couldn't help but pause slightly, and looking around the vigilant patrol shuttle, one hand also reached into my arms, holding the short knife hidden in my arms.

His father was a famous swordsman in the world, although he did not get the guidance of his father's personal professor, and he has always adhered to his father's advice and did not teach his son the family kung fu, but it does not mean that he really has no force at all.

Maybe it can't be compared with the real people in the rivers and lakes, but against ordinary bandits and the like, if you risk your life to fight, three or five men can definitely deal with it. He was dressed as a literati, and the long knife on his back was really nondescript, so he could only buy a short blade to kick in his arms, just in case he needed it from time to time. And now, it seems that it is finally going to be used. Su Hong's palms couldn't help but sweat slightly.

Xun Shuo's eyes swept back and forth several times, but there was still no abnormality, and his heart gradually relaxed. I thought I was suspicious, but when I was about to withdraw my gaze, my eyes shrank suddenly, and I stared in a certain direction.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Mr. Su, a literati, to have such a high level of vigilance, admiration and admiration. ”

Behind a dirt bag in front of him, several hooded men suddenly flashed out. A voice of mockery or genuine admiration spat out from the mouth of the man in charge.

Su Hong subconsciously tightened the short blade, slowly took two steps back, stared at the person who came and said in a deep voice: "Who is under the feet, did you recognize the wrong person?"

The person who came didn't mind, raised his hand and waved it, asking the other black-clothed people to stop, only pacing over by himself, stopping seven or eight steps away from Su Hong, and said with a smile: "Mr. Su doesn't have to be nervous, there is no malice in the bottom." On the contrary, in the next place, there is a message about Ling Lang Sumo. ”

When Su Hong heard this, his heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but take two steps forward, and then he hurriedly stopped, stared at the other party and said urgently: "What's wrong with Mo'er? Where is he? Who are you?"

After three questions in a row, the corners of the mouth of the black-clothed man on the opposite side couldn't help but smile under the hood, but then it flashed away, and he sighed: "Mr. Su, don't worry, if you say that you know the news of Ling Lang, you don't mean that you know where he is." It's just that news came that a few days ago, the Beijing Division had sent a delegation to Anji County, the capital of Huzhou. And the leader, in addition to a stall head in the East Factory, there is also a foreign affairs father-in-law in the palace, as well as ......"

Speaking of this, he paused, and said word by word: "And the personal guard commander of Dingguo Gong, Xu Jin." ”

Su Hong's eyes shrank, he didn't answer, just looked at him quietly. Fang Fang's mood fluctuated for a while, but at this moment he had calmed down. It is not known whether this person who suddenly appeared is friend or foe, no matter how naïve Su Hong is, he will not easily believe anything he says.

For Su Hong's vigilance, the man in black didn't seem to care. Seeing that he didn't agree, the face under the hood seemed to smile slightly, and continued: "Ling Lang is good friends with the two princes of the British Duke and the Dingguo Duke, which is already known to the world. And Ling Lang made a big noise in the northwest, which of course made many people pay attention to him and the people related to him. ”

Su Hong's eyes became cold, and he said lightly: "Among the so-called many people under the feet, I am afraid that there are many people who have their own feet." ”

The man in black laughed, didn't hide it at all, and nodded angrily: "That's right, I really pay attention to Su Gongzi." It's just that Mr. Su doesn't have to worry too much, although he is not a friend of Ling Lang, he is by no means an enemy. The reason why I came this time was actually to make Lang feel a little affectionate. As for the specifics, you don't need to go into details. And it doesn't really matter who you are. The important thing is the news about Ling Lang that will be presented in the future, isn't it?"

Su Hong's eyes shrank again, and he was only half-convinced of what this mysterious person said about friend and foe. But the news about his son that he repeatedly mentioned made him have to think about it seriously. Regardless of whether the other party's news is true or false, he is unwilling to let it go at the moment.

After a deep groan, he raised his eyes to look at the other party, and then glanced at the few people who followed behind, and then said slowly: "Dare to ask what the news is, why should I believe you?"

The man in black smiled slightly: "It's okay, believe it or not, Mr. De." said below, this is just to return Linglang's love. The heart is exhausted, and everything is determined by the husband. ”

Su Hong was stunned, nodded lightly, and no longer asked what the situation was, and hugged his fists and said, "So, I'm ashamed." ”

The man nodded and said in a low voice: "As far as we know, Jingzhong's dispatch to Anji this time is actually due to Ling Lang, and it seems to be for an old case from three years ago. However, the specific situation is unknown, and the only thing that can be known is that this case involves a lot of money, and the inside story is even more unpredictable. And more importantly, I heard that some people want to use this investigation to provoke civil unrest. Once this is the case, no matter what the consequences of this case are, anyone involved in it will inevitably be guilty! Not to mention Ling Lang, who is the initiator. At that time, as long as someone is slightly triggered, I am afraid that Ling Lang will not escape prison if he succeeds in this mission. Here, I am here to inform Mr. of this matter, where to go, no more words, farewell!"

Su Hong was stunned and watched a few people disappear in an instant, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses. Standing in place for a long time, his face changed, and then he gritted his teeth violently, turned around and no longer went north, but all the way to the south.

After a long time, on a dirt hill not far away, several hooded people dressed in black reappeared. Unlike before, the person who opened his mouth to talk to Su Hong had lifted the hood covering his face at this time, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. It's just that his face was gloomy, looking at the direction where Su Hong went, his eyes kept changing, as if he was helpless and ashamed.

If Su Mo or Tang Bohu were here, they would definitely be surprised. Because this person is not someone else, it is Xu Li Xu Jingqian, who had a relationship with Wuqing that day.
