Chapter Ninety-Six: Old Things (2)
"I'm not sure about your father's whereabouts, but if I'm not wrong, he was murdered ten years ago and is no longer alive. "樂" Wen "Xiao" said|" Mrs. Meng's eyelashes trembled slightly, her voice was slightly choked, and the sadness and sadness on her face did not seem to be fake, which made people moved.
"Xiao League's master martial arts are world-famous, who can harm him?" Qiu Chaoyang didn't believe it, Xiao Yuankong, the former martial arts alliance leader, was an idol he admired very much, and he was killed by someone, so he couldn't accept it.
"Yes, his martial arts are world-famous, and the world knows how good he is, and even says that he can face thousands of troops and horses alone, and he can still come and go freely and retreat. But that's just outsiders' talk, and if I really met him, he was a human being and not a god. ”
"Madame, what do you mean......"
Xiao Yuankong went alone to face thousands of troops, did he have a brain pump? Xiao Jingxuan grew up in the army, not to mention anything else, just say that the arrow array of the Great Sui, inherited from the Qin Dynasty, has been improved several times, once launched, it is dense like a rain in the sky, making it difficult for people to fly with wings.
"I said I wasn't sure, because almost all of the people I sent out to look for him had lost their news, and only one of them came back with a sigh of relief, telling me that in the twelfth year of Yongqing, after Xiao Lang went to the army, no one saw him again. ”
Isn't the twelfth year of Yongqing the year when Xiao Jingxuan and Xiao Jingqi were sent to the barracks? What does she mean is that Xiao Yuankong died in the army, and died under the encirclement of the army.
"No way, my father and Uncle Xiao are close friends, if he is in the army, my father will definitely not let him have anything to do. Yuwen Yanshu couldn't hold his breath, and as soon as he felt that something was wrong, he immediately shouted.
Mengchi glanced at her: "You are still everyone's lady, what do you look like when you shout." The words are delicate, and it is difficult to hide the dissatisfaction. When my mother is talking, is there a place for you to interject, it is really rude.
Yuwen Yanshu was pushed back by Mengchi's words, pouting angrily and sulking. Dugu Ling patted her back soothingly. And Xiao Jingxuan sat there strangely motionless.
"Brother Ah Lu, don't believe her. My dad is a good friend of your dad, and he will definitely not watch him be killed, and you have been in the army for so many years, have you heard anything?"
Yes. Xiao Jingxuan came back to his senses, the general was as kind to him as a mountain, if he and his father were not very close to each other, his father would not entrust him with a pair of children. Mrs. Meng only said that after her father went to the army, no one saw her. Maybe he left a long time ago, but no one knows, it's not impossible that his father's martial arts are so high.
"Haha, best friend?hahaha......" Mrs. Dream laughed as if she had heard some joke: "Laugh at me, when we met Yu Wenyi, he was just an errand runner, who would befriend him?"
**The naked sarcasm made Yuwen Yanshu, who is a woman, angry. Apricot eyes widened, got up suddenly, and said sharply to Mrs. Meng: "My Yuwen family is a hairpin family, since the former Han Dynasty, Zhong Ming has eaten for hundreds of years, my father is the second son of the Yuwen family, when did he become an errand runner, Mrs. is so cultivated, why should he insult his father with words." ”
"Yes, yes, you're his daughter. I think he is very good, but I don't check, and I lost my words for a while. Lady Dream slowly calmed down her smile, but the mockery on her face did not diminish.
Yuwen Yanshu was comforted by Dugu Ling and Qiu Chaoyang. took a deep breath before slowly suppressing the anger in his heart. glanced at Xiao Jingxuan, who frowned tightly and seemed to be in deep thought, and felt a burst of weakness in her heart, she shouldn't have sat here with Xiao Jingxuan.
"But what I'm saying is true, when we knew your father. It's true that he's just a messenger by Rensong's side to help deliver letters. Madame Dream was calmer this time, and spoke very clearly.
"Loose from the people?"
It's such a strange name, even Dr. Xia Qiyang, who has been silent, showed a somewhat surprised expression: "It can't be a fake name." ”
"The little doctor doesn't look very old, but he has some insight. Unexpectedly, Mrs. Dream smiled approvingly at him and nodded.
So he was right. Xia Qiyang, who is rarely praised for his knowledge, blushed, lowered his head shyly, and pretended to drink tea with a tea cup to cover up his embarrassment.
"It's a pity that at that time, we only felt that we had never heard of this surname, but thinking about the size of the world and the number of surnames, it was just that we were lonely and unheard. ”
Mrs. Dream sighed deeply and closed her eyes, and when Ah Ying saw this, she hurriedly helped her to gently lean on the back of the chair and rest for a while.
The host was tired, and no one talked much, so they had to make eye contact with each other, whether to go or stay.
"Aunt Meng, my little nephew takes the liberty of asking, what is your name?"
Qiu Yingshui accidentally mentioned that Mrs. Dream was not surnamed Meng, but she offended someone who shouldn't be offended, so she was incognito.
Madame Dream seemed to be really tired and didn't want to speak, but barely raised her hand.
"My mother's surname is Zhao Minghongying. "Dream Pool answered.
Qiu Chaoyang showed an expression that was really like this.
"In this way, the current Shadowless Village is actually the Amazing Cloud Villa of the year. ”
"Yes. "It's still the spokesperson of Dream Pool.
Back then, Jingyun Villa was burned down by a sudden fire, and their mother took them to hide in the secret room to avoid a disaster. She will never forget the scorching walls baked by the fire, the narrow and small room like a steamer, dozens of people crowded inside, everyone is exhausted, and it is difficult to breathe. At that time, she thought that she would be roasted alive several times, but she survived, not only her, but most of the people in the village.
They wanted to move out, but her mother's body was getting worse and worse, and without the suppression of the hot springs, she couldn't even survive a winter. So they had to change their appearance and still live here. The most dangerous place is the safest place, probably the other party didn't expect that they would be so bold to stay where they are and live quietly for so many years.
"Madame has been incognito for many years, why is she telling us the truth today, aren't you afraid that we will leak the news and cause death again?" Dugu Ling said with a smile.
At the end of the day, he just didn't believe that things were so coincidental. It was difficult to find a clue before, and suddenly the answer was sent to the door so easily, which no one doubts. And the other party's specious identification of Xiao Yuankong's death is related to Yu Wenyi, which is related to the relationship between Xiao Jingqi, Xiao Jingxuan's sister and brother, Yuwen Yanshu, and Yuwen Zhihong's brother and sister. He had every reason to suspect that, well, in fact, Dugu Ling was born a conspiracy theorist, or that every person in a high position was seriously suspicious, and anything that was put in front of them, they would think of dozens of possibilities.
"What's the benefit of my mother lying to you?"
"Dugu Gongzi, I was with my wife back then. I have witnessed many things, and what my wife said is true. ”
Dugu Ling smiled but didn't answer, who knows if what they said was true or false. There is also a clause in the law that relatives and relatives are hidden.
"Madame dared to speak up because we received the news last year. The enemy is no longer alive. ”
The enemy is dead, so why is there any need to remain incognito? Therefore, it is also a kind of strength to be able to survive the death of the enemy.
Dugu Ling let down his guard and smiled sincerely: "Congratulations to Madame." ”
After talking for a while, Mrs. Dream seemed to be extremely tired. Her beautiful eyes were closed and half leaned on Ah Ying's body, and the breeze gently blew her butterfly-like eyelashes, looking as if she was asleep.
"Madame needs to rest, then we won't bother. ”
Everyone said goodbye, Xiao Jingxuan sat there and hesitated for a moment, and was dragged away by Yuwen Yanshu by his sleeve.
"Mrs. Meng's words, how much do you believe?" Qiu Chaoyang whispered sideways to Dugu Ling, who was walking on the side, but his eyes looked at Xiao Jingxuan, who was a few steps behind.
"Three points at most. Dugu Ling understood, "Everyone knows that the leader of the Xiao League is entrusted to his righteous brother in the end." Moreover, the little uncle has also cultivated their sisters and brothers wholeheartedly over the years, and they are no different from their own children, so I really can't think of a reason for them to turn against their goals. ”
Moreover, Mrs. Dream's one-sided words, the meaning of provocation is too obvious. Perhaps, there was truth in her words, but she certainly did it for a different purpose.
"Let's go back and pack our things and get out of here now. Yuwen Yan said as he walked with a sigh of relief, what kind of lady sarcastically said to his father, implying that Uncle Xiao was killed in the camp. It is clearly sowing discord. Although there was delicacy and beauty everywhere, she just didn't like anywhere, and she didn't want to stay for a moment.
"Brother Ah Lu, why don't you leave?"
"Wait for Aunt Ying to come out. I would like to ask her a few words. Xiao Jingxuan looked firmly at Yuwen Yanshu's eyes, but for a moment, his gaze involuntarily slid to the bud that was waiting to be released.
"What do you mean?"
Yuwen Yanshu looked at him in surprise, and the hand that was holding his sleeve loosened little by little, slowly sliding down, just like her mood at the moment.
Dugu Ling and Qiu Chaoyang also looked at him silently. Their worst fears have happened. To them, Mrs. Dream's words were just a lie full of holes. And Xiao Jingxuan, who has a deep hatred against the sea of blood, but has no way to take revenge for many years, is tantamount to a new clue from a thunderbolt in the sky, even if this clue does not have much authenticity.
"Xiao Gongzi, they all said that they were lying, don't you ask again?" Xia Qiyang couldn't help but persuade him.
Xiao Jingxuan glanced at him and didn't speak, Xia Qiyang quickly shrank his head and hid behind Qiu Chaoyang. Just kidding, he still remembered that two days ago, on the mountain, his eyes were cold and full of murderous intent. Well, life matters.
"I'll only ask once, are you leaving?"
Yuwen Yanshu clenched his fists, the corners of his mouth were pursed, his body was straight, and he used all his strength to suppress the uneasiness and panic, staring at him deadly, afraid of seeing him shake his head, or say no.
Xiao Jingxuan felt that his clear gaze was like an invisible water pressure surrounded by him, he understood what Yuwen Yanshu meant, and now he continued to ask Mrs. Meng, which meant that he believed Mrs. Meng's words, which meant that he began to doubt the general.
Between his father and his childhood sweetheart, there is a hatred for killing his father, which is definitely not what Yuwen Yanshu wants.
But what about yourself, ask yourself. At this moment, is it true that his confidence in the general has not been shaken at all? Thinking of the oath of Mrs. Meng and Aunt Ying, they have never known each other, why should they deceive him, and what good can they do to deceive him?
He wanted an answer, he wanted to know where he came from, he wanted to know his father's whereabouts. He also didn't want to disobey Shu'er's intentions, because he was also afraid, afraid that this qiē was true, what kind of face should he use to face the general, and face the Qingmei who grew up together since childhood. But he was even more afraid, if all the qiē were true, then what was he who had recognized the thief as his father for so many years?
"You go first. ”
These four words seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds, and the difficulty made him breathless. There was a pain in my left chest.
Yuwen Yanshu was disappointed, this disappointment was like a basin of cold water poured down from the top of her head, and she shivered coldly in an instant. He didn't believe her father, who had raised him for so many years, and even wanted to marry his daughter to him, and he became suspicious just because of a few specious words from an irrelevant person.
"Let's go. This time, it was Dugu Ling who pulled Yuwen Yanshu and left without saying a word.
Qiu Chaoyang had the heart to persuade him to say a few words, but after thinking about it, this was someone else's private matter after all. So he also pulled Xia Qiyang away.
Yuwen Yanshu looked back unrelentingly, and saw that among the shadows and flowers of the trees, Xiao Jingxuan's thin figure stood lonely, gradually blurring, and blending in with the surrounding scenery. (To be continued.) )
