Xiao Beichen rushed out of the gate with Mu Ziyan in his arms and drove straight to Jinrui Hospital.

When I arrived at the intensive care unit, it was already late at night.

But the wards were brightly lit.

Quite a few people are here to take care of Xie Rui.

Chen Guohua, Song Jiuling, and Song Yuyan were taking care of them on the side.

And Lu Yan is taking Xie Rui's pulse.

It was the thirteenth aunt, sitting next to the hospital bed, and talked to Xie Rui very kindly. told a lot of things about Xiao Beichen's naughty mischief.

The moment Xiao Beichen came to the door.

Whew!

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Beichen.

In the lively ward, it was quiet all of a sudden.

Initial website https://

Yafinch is silent!

Subsequently, Chen Guohua, Song Jiuling, and Song Yuyan left the room together.

Lu Yan also followed.

Apparently, they know...... Xiao Beichen has something important to say to Xie Rui. It is not convenient for them to be present.

The thirteenth aunt stayed, but she also took the initiative to give Xiao Beichen a place.

Xiao Beichen stood at the door blankly, looking at Xie Rui lying on the head of the bed.

Xie Rui also saw Xiao Beichen at this moment.

The eyes are facing each other.

Before this, Xiao Beichen was more eager to see Xie Rui than anyone else. But when he saw this woman, Xiao Beichen found that his legs and feet seemed to be filled with lead water, and every step forward became very difficult.

Heartbeat, and then accelerate.

Step by step, it seems like walking a distance of five years.

Finally, Xiao Beichen came to the bed, his voice choked.

"Auntie, aunt!"

Xie Rui didn't speak, just stretched out his rough hand.

Xiao Beichen understood and took the initiative to stick his head out. Let her caress her face.

Hands, very rough.

It's a bit awkward to the touch.

But Xiao Beichen clearly felt that this was the most gentle hand in the world.

Xie Rui's eyes were full of kindness and compassion: "Child, you are taller and stronger than you were five years ago. Over the years, I must have suffered a lot. ”

Xiao Beichen held the rough hands: "Auntie, I didn't suffer." In the past five years, I have had a good life. ”

Xie Rui's tears were rolling: "It's still hard-mouthed." Five years ago, when Zhonghai Xiao was still around, I knew it. When you fled south to Jianmen Pass, you were cut off by Luo Tianyang. became a waste. Later, he climbed the snow and traveled 20,000 miles west to Kunlun. Just now, the thirteenth aunt told me that you have experienced the pain of broken bones five thousand times. That's why I have this body. ”

"Sharpen the muscles and break the bones...... Lying on the ice and climbing the snow, traveling 20,000 miles west. After 5,000 bone breaks...... 5,000 failed to reconnect muscles and bones, and 5,000 broken bones renewed the pain! ”

"Child, my Xiao family's child......"

As he spoke, Xie Rui suddenly broke the defense, and tears burst into tears.

She tightly took Xiao Beichen into her arms and shouted hysterically: "Beichen, I'm sorry!" It's my aunt who is useless and can't protect you. ”

"It's Auntie, I'm sorry for you!"

Xiao Beichen wanted to speak, but he couldn't.

O my aunt!

It's me Beichen, I'm sorry for you!!

What is the suffering and torture you have endured in Zhonghai inferior to my Xiao Beichen!

A thousand words can't be spoken, only a thousand lines of tears remain.

After a long time, Xie Rui's emotions slowly calmed down: "Oh, look at me." We finally met, and that's it. It's not good...... That's a happy thing. Come, my Xiao family's child, wipe away your tears and don't cry. ”

She held back her tears and took out a tissue to gently wipe away Xiao Beichen's tears.

"I'm Xiao Shi's son, I don't shed blood and tears! Don't do that, you'll make others see the joke. ”

Xiao Beichen nodded heavily.

Xie Rui smiled: "This is a bit like my Xiao family's son." ”

Xiao Beichen smiled stupidly.

Brilliant, warm.

Xie Rui was very nostalgic and talked to Xiao Beichen about the past when he was a child.

Xiao Beichen sat next to him and listened quietly.

Like a child, listening carefully to the stories told by the elders.

"Eh, time flies, in a blink of an eye, you're so old." Xie Rui Aini stroked Xiao Beichen's head: "Okay." Very good. As long as you are still here, my Longshan Xiao clan is not completely dead. You're here, and hope is there. Beichen, you can go back to Beiliang with Aunt Thirteen in two days. The affairs of the Yongshan Xiao clan have passed, and the dust has settled. You don't care. ”

Xiao Beichen was about to interrupt, but Xie Rui suddenly made a silent gesture and said seriously: "I know that you have a young heart and are full of enthusiasm. I also know that you are full of anger and are bent on rebuilding the Longshan Xiao Clan. But the past is gone, and the Xiao clan of Longshan at its peak was wiped out overnight. This place is not Beiliang, what can you do? There's no need for it. With the blood of my Longshan Xiao family, live. Opening up the branches for the Longshan Xiao clan is the most important thing you should do in Beichen. ”

"If you are gone, my Longshan Xiao clan will really be gone!"

Xiao Beichen heard this, and his heart was very uncomfortable.

How could he not have known everything Xie Rui said...... I'm worried about myself. I'm afraid that something will happen to me!

Xiao Beichen didn't refute, and he couldn't bear to refute.

"Eh, this girl is your wife?" Xie Rui raised his head and looked at Mu Ziyan: "You are Mu Ziyan?" ”

Mu Ziyan stepped forward and smiled gently: "Second aunt, it's me." Mu Ziyan, Xiao Beichen's married wife. But the wedding hasn't happened yet. ”

Xie Rui looked Mu Ziyan up and down, and the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became: "Dignified and decent, elegant and atmospheric, with the style of motherhood in the world." My sister-in-law has a vision. That's how you want to be a wife. Beichen, you are a blessed person. You have to cherish what you are looking for. ”

Mu Ziyan clenched Xiao Beichen's hand and chuckled: "Auntie, don't worry, I will ...... has been good to Xiao Beichen for a lifetime. ”

Xie Rui smiled.

Laughing heartily, I almost couldn't close my mouth.

"Yes, yes. When my body and bones are better, I will marry you. Just in Zhonghai, I'll hold a wedding for you. After getting married, let's go to Beiliang together. ”

At this point, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

Xiao Beichen originally had a lot of things to ask, but after seeing the long-lost bright smile on Xie Rui's face, he couldn't bear it.

The three of them accompanied Xie Rui to chat in the ward until late at night.

It wasn't until the thirteenth aunt said, "The second aunt is still in the recovery period and needs to rest more." Xiao Beichen reluctantly left with Mu Ziyan.

Before the person reached the door, Xie Rui was already lying on the bed and fell asleep.

The thirteenth aunt comforted for a while, and then came to the door: "Little junior brother, I have carefully checked the situation of the second aunt......

Halfway through her words, she stopped, as if there was something unspeakable.

Xiao Beichen vaguely sensed something: "Thirteenth aunt, you have something to say." ”

Aunt Thirteen sighed: "Although the blood poison in her body has disappeared, her body has experienced five years of torture and humiliation, plus excessive grief. Both mentally and physically were devastated. Life is already seriously overdrawn. If it weren't for the forced support of one breath, I'm afraid it would have been gone a long time ago. ”

Xiao Beichen said: "How long is it?" ”

Xiao Beichen couldn't bear to interrupt Xie Rui's happy smile before, and didn't check Xie Rui's body.

Moreover, Aunt Thirteen's medical skills are extraordinary, she has seen ...... That's it.

Aunt Thirteen said: "Two months if it's fast, three months if it's slow." Most...... It's been three months. I also took the Wupindan medicine before, and the effect was ...... It's not big anymore. Her body was hollowed out too badly. ”

Rumble!

Xiao Beichen stood in place, as if he had been hit hard.

As fast as three months...... Three months as slow.

When others said this, Xiao Beichen didn't believe it.

But Aunt Thirteen said that he had to believe it.

His own hands were healed with the help of the thirteenth aunt...... Not to mention the others.

Mu Ziyan clenched Xiao Beichen's hand, wanting to say something comforting, but couldn't. Just holding her hand tightly.

Xie Rui...... It's so sad.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen came to his senses: "My aunt, I wanted you to see with your own eyes the moment when I rebuilt the Xiao clan in Longshan. But I came back this time, even though I am the king of Xiaobei...... If you want to determine the overall situation of the 18 provinces in Huaidong, you must push the culprit behind the scenes. I can't do it in a year or two......"

It's the truth.

Xiao Beichen is of course the king of Xiao Bei in Beiliang.

Beiliang does have seventy-two domains, with vast land and tens of thousands of miles in length.

But this is not Beiliang after all.

Huaidong also has 18 provinces!

Eighteen provinces!!

How many wealthy families and how many strong people!

At the beginning, it took his grandfather Xiao Qianlong half his life to complete the Northern Expedition that began from Zhonghai and set Ding Longshan Xiao. Take the Xiao family to become a super-first-class wealthy family in Huaidong.

Xiao Beichen went south this time, and it was impossible to complete the Northern Expedition within a year or two.

Moreover, the Beiliang Wangfu is not Xiao Beichen's private power, it is the Beiliang Gongqi. There is a sacred mission to garrison the seventy-two domains of Beiliang. How could Xiao Beichen be able to use it arbitrarily?

What's more, Xiao Beichen has resigned from the position and title of King Xiao Bei when he went south this time.

Beiliang has a complex faction, and there are constant open and secret battles.

But where the family reaches the top wealthy, which one is not an open and secret fight?

Not to mention such a monstrous thing as the Beiliang Palace.

After smoking two cigarettes, Xiao Beichen rushed to admire Ziyan: "Ziyan, order Chen Guohua to speed up the reconstruction project of the Xiao Mansion in Zhonghai." In two months, I will see an exact Zhonghai Shaw Mansion as usual. ”

"Within two months, I will welcome back the corpse of my second uncle and slaughter all those who participated in the destruction of the Zhonghai Xiao clan. Take their heads and reopen the Zhonghai Xiao Clan. Since the second aunt can't see the day when the Longshan Xiao family reopens, she must let the second aunt see the Zhonghai Xiao family reopen! ”

……

In the next few days, Xiao Beichen not only instructed Liu Qi and others to practice. The rest of the time was spent in the intensive care unit of Jinrui Hospital.

Accompany Xie Rui to talk and chat.

Tell her about happy things.

After Xie Rui's health improves, he can sit in a wheelchair. Xiao Beichen pushed the wheelchair and took her to various places in Zhonghai.

Yanbo Lake, Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

also took Xie Ru to Jiangzhong Ye Mansion and met Xie Wenhua and Xie Ru.

The brothers and sisters met each other very cordially.

Happiness knows no bounds.

Especially Xie Wenhua and Xie Ru, not to mention how happy they were after seeing Xie Rui, they said on the spot that they wanted Xie Rui to stay in Ye Mansion. Never to be separated again.

Xie Rui was naturally in a good mood.

Xiao Beichen stood beside him, looking at the happy appearance of the three brothers and sisters, especially the smile that appeared on the face of the second aunt...... I feel a lot of relief.

Perhaps, let the second aunt stay in Ye Mansion temporarily, for her...... For the time being, it's the best place to go.

After making up his mind, Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan discussed.

Originally, Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan decided to take Yanyulou to live temporarily after Xie Rui was discharged from the hospital.

But in Ye Mansion, Xie Rui was obviously happier.

After a brief discussion, the two decided that it would be more appropriate for Xie Rui to stay in Ye Mansion.

After finalizing it, Mu Ziyan bought household items everywhere and poured them up for Xie Rui. During this period, Zhang Lan and Mu Tianhao both came to visit with gifts, which made Xie Rui very happy.

Xie Rui didn't ask any questions about Mu Ziyan's family background, but just said that Mu Ziyan was good and a good match for Beichen.

Immediately after, Xie Guyang went down the mountain to visit Xie Rui's daughter.

Father and daughter, hugged tightly.

Tears.

Xiao Beichen looked at all this and warmed his heart.

From that day on, Yefu was always full of laughter. Xiao Beichen saw that Xie Rui was completely integrated into the life of the Xie family, and the number of contacts gradually decreased. But he still insisted on coming over every day to talk to Xie Rui.

I want to inquire about the demise of the Zhonghai Xiao clan that day.

But Xiao Beichen couldn't bear it.

As a witness and victim of the demise of the Zhonghai Xiao clan, Xie Rui finally came out of the shadows and returned to a normal life.

How could Xiao Beichen bear to uncover her scars again? Let her hurt again?

That night, after Xiao Beichen accompanied Xie Rui to sleep, a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Auntie, sleep well.

Tomorrow, I'm going to Xiling.

You have a good rest, and a lot of things can be left to me.

It's just that I'm afraid I won't be able to come to see you tomorrow.

muttering a few words in his heart, Xiao Beichen got up and left.

When he walked to the gate of Yefu, Xie Ru suddenly chased after him: "Xiao Beichen, you wait." ”

Xiao Beichen stopped: "Is there something wrong?" ”

Xie Ru took out a very thick envelope and handed it to Xiao Beichen: "This is a letter from my sister to you." ”

Xiao Beichen was stunned: "For me?" ”

Xie Ru sighed and said, "Xiao Beichen, although you let us hide it from our sister, don't let her know what you are going to do next. But she's your aunt. How could she not know what you think? ”

"She knew you were going to Xiling tomorrow, so she wrote you a letter."

After stuffing the letter to Xiao Beichen, Xie Ru left, leaving a word.

"There are a lot of things you want to do, so do it. Don't worry, I'll take care of my sister. Don't worry. ”

Xiao Beichen walked under an ancient locust tree at the door, couldn't wait to open the envelope, and flipped through it by the street lamp.

The most familiar handwriting is on the paper.

That's right, it's the handwriting of the second aunt.

However, it is a little less sharp and a little heavier than five years ago.

- Beichen, my good boy of the Xiao family.

When I can see you again this time, my aunt will feel that she is content in this life.

Xiao Baiye's child and I died in the battle in Langya Mountain since we were children, and we have not had any more children since then. Since then, I have treated you as my own child. Because I doted on you too much, your mother had a lot of criticism about me, and I was a little jealous~

Your mother and you have had a bad relationship since childhood.

She rejects you, snubs you, and rebukes you harshly. I haven't even spoken a few words to you since I was a child.

Several times you make a mistake and your mother whips you.

But please do not have resentment in your heart.

Because, you don't understand your mother.

A lot of things, you'll understand when you grow up. She is the greatest mother in this world!

Seeing this, Xiao Beichen's face suddenly turned solemn, and his face was distorted.

I can't help but think of the past with my mother when I was a child.

What the second aunt said is not bad at all.

's mother has been extremely strict with Xiao Beichen since she was a child, and she is indifferent and silent.

Since childhood, what my mother and Xiao Beichen have said can be counted on their fingers.

Xiao Beichen has never felt maternal love.

When he was a child, Xiao Beichen once had a grudge against his mother. Why can't I feel my mother's love like other children?

Growing up slowly, Xiao Beichen gradually became sensible.

The resentment in my heart naturally disappeared.

As a son of man, you should not resent your mother.

But those things are still like a thorn deep in Xiao Beichen's heart.

It doesn't even linger.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen slowly calmed down and continued to look down.

- Beichen, I know that you will not give up on rebuilding the glory of the Xiao Clan. No amount of persuasion I can change you. But if you can hide it from me and take me for a few days of leisure, my aunt is already very pleased.

I know what you want to know, but my aunt didn't tell you herself...... It's because that past is so dark that my heart cuts every time I think about it for five years. I'm afraid I won't be able to say it, I'm afraid I'll break down halfway through. So, I had to write it down on paper.

The text here has traces of being scratched by watermarks, and there are some wrinkles.

Xiao Beichen, those were the tears that fell when the second aunt wrote the letter.

——Five years ago, in the thirty-fifth year of the Great Xia, on the seventh day of July, the autumn leaves were all over the sky. Your second uncle was expelled from the Xiao clan in Longshan with a top-secret order from the Xiao clan and went south to settle in Zhonghai. On the eighth day of the lunar month of the same year, the Xiao clan of Longshan was wiped out overnight, and the blood flowed like a river. It was also on that day that a heavy snowfall fell in Huaidong that had not been seen in 35 years.

A heavy snowfall covered all the blood stains of the Xiao clan in Longshan and froze all the corpses. Erased everything.

Seven days later, that is, on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, you fled south to Jianmen Pass, where you were cut off by Luo Tianyang. You were meant to die. It was a woman in Tsing Yi who came forward to save you. After that, you talked to Tang Ziyue, and on the same day, you climbed the snow on ice and traveled 20,000 miles west to Kunlun.

Three days later, on the eighteenth day of the lunar month, Zhonghai Xiao suffered.

Li Longcang, Rong Yu, Li Chuanfu, and Luo Nanxiao were like demons, rushing into Zhonghai Xiao's mansion and slaughtering all the way.

They kill anyone they see!

Whether it is a child of the Xiao family or not, kill it!

Even a few maids beside me, and a person who came to Xiao to do cleaning and housekeeping, were also murdered.

When the white night was gone, I knelt on the ground and pleaded. Ask them to spare the innocent.

Useless!

In the end, the three children I adopted with Bai Ye were all killed by them in front of me. More than a dozen other relatives were slaughtered.

I pleaded, screamed, cried...... But it didn't work. I wanted to die for them, but it didn't work. I could only watch my child die in front of me, and I could do nothing!

Seeing this, Xiao Beichen's tears in his eyes couldn't hold back any longer, and he burst down.

The watermark of the stationery here is densely packed.

The handwriting is shaking.

It can be seen how painful and desperate Xie Rui was in his heart when he wrote this letter.

- And I'...... They believed to be the only one who knew the whereabouts of the token, and was imprisoned and tortured. That's how he survived. But I didn't want to live, but I survived. I was tortured, imprisoned, and abused by countless people. It was even planted with a blessing technique, which led to mental hallucinations. But the whereabouts of the token were never revealed.

Because I know, once I say it. So Longshan Xiao is good, Zhonghai Xiao is good...... The sacrifice of all is meaningless.

Finally, after five years, here you are.

Actually, I didn't know the whereabouts of the token at all, and White Night never told me. said that it was for my good, and he took on everything alone. It's just that I've figured out some clues on my own.

At that time, Bai Ye had already realized something, and chose to go to the Beishan Pingjiang Governor's Mansion alone to express his feelings. I just hope to use him alone to divert their firepower and protect my Longshan Xiao clan. But Bai Ye underestimated the viciousness of those people after all!

Those people have gone crazy...... For the sake of the paranoia in my heart, I destroyed the Zhonghai Xiao family.

They are not people, they are demons!

It's a demon on earth!!

- As for the token, it's not on your second uncle. He secretly went to the Celestial Elephant Gate. The rest, I don't know.

After reading the content of the letter, Xiao Beichen sat under the ancient locust tree in a daze.

"Second aunt...... My good aunt. You and your second uncle have a perfect family, but it's my Xiao family who has affected you. ”

"Beichen, as the young marshal of Longshan, I failed to protect your family. I'm sorry! ”

"Auntie, I'm sorry!"

Xiao Beichen hid his face and wept.

Even if he is the high-ranking King of Xiaobei, he is still a person after all. I was also a son of man!

In the face of such a thing, how can you not be sad and angry?!

After a long time, Xiao Beichen slowly calmed down, lit a cigarette for himself, and burned the letter by the way.

This is top secret and cannot be kept.

Call!

Xiao Beichen took a deep breath of cigarette: "Second aunt, let all the grief and past on your body be burned to ashes with this letter, and disappear cleanly." From now on, you don't have to grieve again. ”

"The shame of my Longshan Xiao clan is also like this fire, which has disappeared completely."

Staring at the dancing flames, his eyes were shining.

"Take me back the crescent moon and forge a great sword array for Zhonghai. So I started ...... Northern expedition! ”

"The darkness is over, and the light is coming."

"Auntie, I must let you see this bright light in your lifetime!"

"Definitely!"

……

Back at Yanyu Building, Xiao Beichen sat at his desk.

Picked up the pen that I hadn't seen for a long time and wrote a reply to my aunt.

Every stroke is written very seriously.

Auntie has some things that are difficult to dictate.

Xiao Beichen...... How could it not be?

By the time I finished writing the letter, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Xiao Beichen looked up at the moonlight outside the window, stunned.

Tomorrow, it's time to head to Xiling.

Canglong Houfu, Gu Jinchen, Uncle Ba, Qin Wu of Huaidong Qin, Li Longcang, Wei Ziqing......

Xiao Beichen silently recited these names.

"Li Longcang, one of the four bigwigs, it's your turn."

The voice was not loud, with a bit of desolation.

At this moment, Blood Dance suddenly walked in: "Lord Wang." Someone is looking for you. ”

These days, Blood Dance has been secretly accompanying Mu Ziyan.

Xiao Beichen said: "Who?" ”

Blood Dance said: "She said that her name is Li Weiyang and she came by appointment." Use the Hope Qi technique to help you see a person. ”

The corners of Xiao Beichen's mouth finally showed a smile: "It's finally here." It's up to you to help me see her......"
