The highlights of the comprehensive martial arts competition between Splendid Academy and Hutao Academy are frequent, such as Wu Ting's sword pick double rook, such as Yan Qi's one arrow and three kills, such as Xiao Chen's long whip to win the horse, and then Yuan Chang's thousand-mile single ride to directly take the opponent's tactical heart in one second after entering the arena...... However, all the highlights were eventually overshadowed by an incident that occurred in the audience outside the stadium -

A young master from an official family died tragically on the sidelines of the competition field full of spectators and under the bright sky.

How do people die? Nobody sees. Everyone was drawn to the excitement of the game, and even the screams of the deceased were taken as cheers until he slowly lay down on the ground, only to be noticed by the family behind him.

Hearing the news, the Yacha quickly blocked the entrance and exit of the arena, and the audience and the members of the two comprehensive martial arts teams were forced to stay in the field.

"Behind the scenes directs killings. Young Master Yan Jiu, who had been frozen alive for nearly two hours in the audience, had a stinky face and Yan Qidao, who came to greet him.

"Ah, are you convinced?" Yan Qi looked at her uncle and Qiao Lezi, who were still questioning the case at the scene not far away, Qiao Lezi's face was full of solemnity at this time, but Yan Zike's face was expressionless, and his eyes were cold and empty, making it impossible to peek into his thoughts.

"The modus operandi of murder has been carefully designed, and it is the style of behind-the-scenes murder instruction, so it is completely certain. Young Master Yan Jiu stood quietly beside Yan Qi as he spoke—this thing had just finished the competition, and it was steaming all over its body, and it could be used as a personal meat stove or something temporarily.

"It's complicated now," Yan Qi deviated to block the direction of the wind, but unfortunately her current body size has lost more weight than Yan Xiaojiu, whose skeleton has grown, and the wind she can block is also limited, "Could it be that our previous inferences are all wrong, that wild island is guarded and still can't stop the behind-the-scenes guide, does it mean that he has not been to that wild island at all?"

"Not really," Young Master Yan Jiu said, "There are many river lanterns on the wild island, collect the information on the lights in advance and write it down, and then go to find the target one by one, so you don't have to go to the wild island often." ”

"That's right," Yan Qi nodded, "So does this behind-the-scenes guide know that the wild island has been guarded by the people of the government?"

"If you know, then this murder is tantamount to a provocation to the government. The corners of Young Master Yan Jiu's lips curled into a slightly mocking arc, "If this is the case, it is more convenient for us to infer this person's personality, age and life background based on this, and we can get one step closer to finding him." ”

"Is it cold, freezing here?" Yuan Chang came over steamingly, holding a small hand stove from someone in his hand, and was about to stuff it into Yan Qi's hand, when he saw a hand stretched out in the sky and cut it halfway, and slowly floated a sentence by the way: "Thank you." ”

"For your sister!" Yuan Chang glared at Young Master Yan Jiu.

"Doesn't she have you? Young Master Yan Jiu glanced at him with a smile.

"That's right. Yuan Chang clenched his hand into a fist and stretched it out in front of Yan Qi, "Take it, 'hand' furnace." ”

Yan Qi looked at the unscrupulous brother who sold his sister for a hand stove without thinking, and then looked at the big fist in front of him: "This hand stove is too thick, too long and too straight, I'm afraid I can't control it...... Let's go back to the preparation hall first, there is a charcoal fire in the hall. "Ask my brother.

"No, I'll take a look here. Young Master Yan Jiu said.

Yan Qi is not reluctant, this thing will not stop if he doesn't know the truth, so he and Yuan Chang went back to the preparation hall first, the preparation hall is lively, Jinxiu won the second game of the group stage, and the third game is against the seeded team of the group, Liuyun team, as long as you try your best to kill a few more players on the other side, even if you lose in the end, there is a very big hope of qualifying, Liuyun team also won both games, and the other two teams lost one game each, and the qualifying situation is not optimistic.

Yan Qi entered the preparation hall to change clothes first, and when he came out of the locker room, he saw Yuan Chang and the other men who were talking and laughing there shirtless, worthy of being young people, all of them were as strong as calves.

Xiao Chen sat neatly dressed in the corner, looking out the window. Yan Qi hadn't communicated with him much for a while, and it could be seen that he was very worried, but since he didn't take the initiative to say, Yan Qi didn't take the initiative to ask, and when he heard her footsteps, he turned his head to look at her, and Yan Qi walked over and said, "Do you have something to tell me?"

Xiao Chen nodded silently, Yan Qi sat next to him, tilted his head to look at him, and waited for him for a long time before he heard him say, "There is something, I want to ask you for help." ”

"Say it. "Yan Qidao.

"I want to ask you to ......," Xiao Chen pursed his lips, "Help me ask my father about my background." ”

Xiao Tianhang was unusually good to Yan Qi, of course Xiao Chen could see it, so he thought that if Yan Qi asked, Xiao Tianhang would definitely tell her.

"Okay, will you go today?" Yan Qi asked.

Xiao Chen nodded: "Just today, for a while." ”

"Good. Yan Qi looked at him, "Are you ready to accept the truth?"

"It's done. Xiao Chen said, "No matter what the truth is, I only know that my father is him, and nothing can replace his nurturing grace for me." ”

This 'he' of course refers to Xiao Tianhang.

"Okay, now that you're ready, I don't think there's anything you can't know. "Yan Qidao.

Xiao Chen slowly raised his eyes to look at her, and said for a while: "What do you think about your life experience...... What do you think?"

"My idea is very simple," Yan Qidao said, "I like my current life, so I believe in my current life." ”

…… It's really simple...... Xiao Chen drooped his eyelids, and suddenly couldn't figure out what he was worried about, sometimes he felt that he was not as chic as Yan Qi, but after thinking about it again, didn't Yan Jiu also care about his own life experience very much? Could it be that only men care more about the issue of life experience? Or is this comrade in front of him too big and not the same as ordinary people?

"You're distracted again," the comrade in front of him recalled his thoughts, "Are you going to your mansion to take care of the meal today?"

“…… Tube. ”

"Can you carry a child over 1.2 meters?" Yan Qi asked.

“…… Yes. ”

"Okay, I'll go and inform Yan Xiaojiu. Yan Qi said, just about to leave the door of the preparation hall, then saw someone coming in outside and said that they could go, everyone was impatient, and when they heard the words, they hurriedly packed up their things and poured out of the door, and when they got outside, they saw that the audience who was stranded here had begun to leave the venue in an orderly manner, Yan Qi Xiao Chen and Yuan Chang found the young master Yan Jiu who was waiting at the scene of the crime, the scene of the crime had been cleaned up at this time, the deceased had also been transported away, and the people of the government had already collected the team, and even Yan Zike slapped his ass and left, everything seemed to have never happened.

"How's the case?" Yuan Chang asked Young Master Yan Jiu.

"It's broken," Young Master Yan Jiu said lightly, "The murderer has also been arrested on the spot." ”

"Is there a confession that there is a behind-the-scenes guide for him to commit the crime?" Yan Qi asked.

"Yes. Young Master Yan Jiu said, "Uncle deceived him, saying that he got the river lantern with curses written on him, so he took it seriously, admitting that someone was indeed teaching him how to kill people behind his back, but he refused to say how that person contacted him, and now he has been taken back by the uncle to prepare for careful questioning." ”

"Hopefully there will be a breakthrough this time. Yan Qidao, and then told Young Master Yan Jiu about going to Xiao Chen's house.

Young Master Yan Jiu looked at Xiao Chen, and didn't say much, a few people walked out of the arena with the flow of people, riding horses, riding cars, and going all the way to Xiao's mansion.

Xiao Tianhang was at home today, and when he heard that the Yan family sisters and brothers came to the door, he was first happy, then surprised, and then sighed, and agreed to Yan Qi's request to come to the study to see him quite resignedly, and let people make good tea again, and even brought a few plates of good snacks, and waited quietly in the study.

When he saw Yan Qi enter the door for a while, he couldn't help but move, stood up and looked at her, his eyes were full of concern and emotion.

"Don't be so polite to me," Yan Qi walked in generously and saluted, "Will you eat with us later?"

"Okay, okay," Xiao Tianhang nodded and smiled, "Sit, An'an, sit down." ”

After Yan Qi sat down, Xiao Tianhang looked at her for a while, then leaned over and looked at her with a smile and asked, "Is there something about An An coming to me this time?"

"One is to come to see you, and the other is to say hello to you in advance, maybe when the Chinese New Year is over this year, I will leave Kyoto, and I won't come back for a long time, and there is no way to come to visit you again, you take care of your health, let Xiao Chen be filial to you." "Yan Qidao.

Xiao Tianhang was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Where are you going this time?"

"Hang out with my uncle. "Yan Qidao.

"And him?!" Xiao Tianhang frowned, "Aren't you going to school anymore......?" Are the family members talking about your in-laws?"

"I'm not in a hurry about getting married for the time being," Yan Qidao said, "I want to go out and have some fun, visit the famous landscapes or something." ”

Xiao Tianhang stared at her for a while, and said, "Only the two of you go?"

"There will probably be two of my friends as well. Yan Qidao, "But I looked at Xiao Chen's meaning, as if he wanted to go with us this time, but I don't agree with this matter, so I came to tell you, I hope you can stop this naughty guy." ”

Xiao Tianhang did not hesitate to believe Yan Qi's serious lie, and sure enough, his brows furrowed even deeper, and he said calmly: "I won't allow him to go, a good man should have big ambitions, how can he always think about having fun all day long!"

"That's not what I'm talking about," Yan Qidao said, "However, I saw that he seemed to be preoccupied lately, his emotions were not very right, and he was also a little confused about the future. ”

Xiao Tianhang's eyes moved slightly, frowning and speechless for a while.

"I think maybe he's bothered by his background. Yan Qi said bluntly.

Xiao Tianhang suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Yan Qi.

"What kind of character Xiao Chen is, I think you know better than me, he trusts you unconditionally, but now he seems to have a crisis of trust in you. This is not to say that he suspects that you will harm him or anything, but that you are hiding it from him and making him feel that he is not trusted. He was adopted, and I think every adopted child will worry about one problem, that is, their adoptive parents do not love themselves enough. And right now, if you don't trust him, I think he will feel worried, panicked, or lost. The concealment you took for the purpose of being good to him hurt him, so it is understandable that he wanted to leave Kyoto with us, and he instinctively developed a mentality of running away from him because he was afraid of being hurt more. Yan Qi said and looked at Xiao Tianhang, "Xiao Chen has helped me a lot, and even accompanied me to birth and death several times, he is my good friend, good partner, and good brother, so I hope I can help him when he encounters problems." I beg your pardon, there is a question I really want to know, what is the reason why you can't tell Xiao Chen's life experience?"

Xiao Tianhang sighed: "An An, I don't know what you said, but the truth is too heavy, I don't want Chen'er to carry such a heavy burden to live the rest of her life." ”

"No matter what the truth is, it can't change the fact that you raised him so big, right?" Yan Qidao, "If Xiao Chen ignores this fact after getting the truth, then no matter what happens to him in the rest of his life, it is not worth worrying about anymore." And if he still pays attention to this fact, then no matter what the truth is, it will not have any impact on him, because in his heart, you are his father, the truth cannot replace the emotions accumulated for more than ten years, and it should not be able to defeat another real man raised by a real man, the only difference between telling and concealing the truth is whether he can get full trust in you, in other words, whether he can be your real son without any guilt. ”

Xiao Tianhang was silent, his frowning brows loosened slightly, Yan Qi waited quietly for him to think for a while, and then spoke again after a long time: "If you can trust me, I wonder if you can tell me the truth?"

Xiao Tianhang looked at her and took a breath before he was about to speak, but he heard her say again: "Ah, sure enough, I, an outsider, still crossed the line a little bit and made a request to embarrass you, please ignore what I just said, I'm sorry, I was too ignorant just now." ”

"......" Xiao Tianhang looked at the child a little speechlessly, when he couldn't hear that she was going to fight against him......? There's no way, knowing that this girl said this on purpose, he really doesn't want her to feel that she is an outsider in his heart......

"That's it," Xiao Tianhang sighed repeatedly, "After all, you have all grown up and have the right to decide your own destiny." ”

"Believe me, Xiao Chen must know what he should do. "Yan Qidao.

Xiao Tianhang closed his eyes and raised his face, exhaled a long breath, and slowly spoke: "The matter starts with a heavenly stone......

……

More than ten years ago, in the middle of the night, there was an alien stone volleyed through the sky and fell straight into the palace of King Shou in Beijing.

At that time, King Shou was not in the capital, and returned from other places after more than a month, and the next day he presented the heavenly stone to the emperor.

The emperor was very happy, so that the craftsman carved the stone of heaven into an incense burner, placed it in the imperial study, and gave the scraps back to King Shou.

Subsequently, the first emperor was seriously ill, and the folk suddenly rumored that "Tianshi fell into the Shouwang Mansion, which is the true dragon son of God's destiny, and should inherit the unification and conform to the will of the gods".

Suddenly, the first emperor issued a decree to send the dragon guards to secretly raid the Shouwang Mansion, and took down the Shouwang and his family members on the spot, and the Shouwang was brought into the palace to face the saint.

The next day, the first emperor issued a decree to condemn the crime of rebellion against King Shou, and ordered to destroy the Bu clan of King Shou's foreign family, and gave King Shou's biological mother Bu Guifei poisonous wine to herself, and imprisoned King Shou, and gave death to Princess Shou and the son of King Shou, and the rest of the family were all sentenced to death.

Not long, the first emperor fell ill, and the new emperor ascended the throne, but three years, King Shou died "due to illness", and since then, the rebellion incident has gradually faded out, far into the torrent of history, and no one has mentioned it again.

……

"An An, in your guess, what kind of person will King Shou be?" Xiao Tianhang looked at Yan Qi.

"Based on my years of experience in reading all kinds of apocryphal scripts, I am probably a gloomy, ambitious and arrogant person. "Yan Qidao.

Xiao Tianhang suddenly smiled, his expression was a little desolate and embarrassed: "If that's the case, it's fine." If I say to you, this man is not only brilliant in literature, but also excellent in martial arts, not only good at using bows and arrows, but also good at whips, not only calm and stoic, but also affectionate...... What will you think of him?"

"I just want to know, how did such an excellent person do such a stupid thing when the emperor was still alive and couldn't wait to make the national seal and dragon robe private and let others know?" Yan Qi said.

"People will change, the taste of power in the world, we people can never understand, so we often can't understand the actions of those who want to be power," Xiao Tianhang sighed, "But I can't be sure that Shouwang is ...... Has it really changed?" 166 Reading Network
