Chapter 57: Jiangnan History

mentioned above that Liu Mei saw the girl in the portrait again in the study, and only then did she know that the girl was her aunt, but she had never heard of her aunt since she could remember.

So the more she thought about it, the more strange she felt, the picture scroll clearly said that it was made by Liu Gong Sinu, which means that Liu Gong did have a daughter, and this person was Liu Mei's aunt, but for more than ten years, why did Liu Gong and Liu Yan not say a word about this matter? Liu Mei really couldn't figure it out, so she thought about asking her father to find the answer.

She vaguely felt that her grandfather's death seemed to have something to do with the "aunt" in this portrait, but she also had no bottom in her heart. So she searched in the house and found that her father had already gone out and was not in the house. Although she was going to talk about some family business, there were always some bad feelings entangled in Liu Mei's mind, and when she was flustered, she didn't care about it anymore, so she ran out of the door.

Originally, this Liu Yan ordered the guards at the gate to not allow Liu Mei and them to go out without permission, firstly to protect them, and secondly, to let Liu Mei take care of their mother at home. This Liu Chen is young, where can he take care of people, so this ban is essentially set up by Xiang Liumei.

As soon as Liu Mei arrived at the door, she was stopped by the guards at the door, and this Liu Mei was not their opponent, so she couldn't get out of anything. At this time, Liu Feng and Jiang Tong arrived, and when they saw that Liu Mei was in a hurry to go out, they came up to ask the reason.

Liu Feng said: "What's the matter, did something happen, didn't your father not let your sister and brother go out without permission, why are you in such a hurry to go out?"

Liu Mei saw that it was Liu Feng, so she hurriedly pulled him over and said: "My father went out, saying that he was going to talk about some business, I have a bad premonition, this grandfather just left, my father was called out again, I think it is the conspiracy of Li Shen, if this is the case, then it will be a big deal." ”

Liu Feng said: "You think too much, your father is not stupid, there may really be something, don't think nonsense." ”

Liu Mei looked at Liu Feng and said seriously: "I'm not talking nonsense, do you remember? The portrait of the girl we saw in the study hut last time, the woman in the painting was actually my aunt." But I've never seen it, and my grandfather and my father have never talked about it like me, so there must be something involved, maybe my grandfather's death was because of the person in the portrait. ”

After hearing this, Liu Feng said angrily: "Nonsense! How can it be related to the person in the painting." ”

Liu Mei saw that he was a little abnormal, and she didn't know what was wrong with Liu Feng, so she continued: "I don't care, in short, I must ask about this matter clearly." Now, only my father knows what's going on, and now that he's out, how can Li Shen be the kind of person who is willing to give up, if he takes advantage of this opportunity, he will harm my father again......"

Seeing that Liu Mei couldn't continue, Liu Feng said again: "No, I will definitely figure it out." ”

Liu Mei looked up at Liu Feng with a shocked face, at this time Liu Feng seemed to realize that something seemed wrong, so he said: "Don't think about it, you just stay at home, I will definitely investigate this matter." ”

"But......" Liu Mei wanted to follow, but the subordinate at the door stopped her again, and Liu Mei had to watch Liu Feng walk away. That Jiang Tong still wanted to comfort Liu Mei or something, but he was pulled away by Liu Feng, and he didn't have time to say a word to Liu Mei.

Liu Feng pulled Jiang Tong away, and Liu Feng was willing to let go, at this time Jiang Tong was reluctant, and said to Liu Feng: "What are you doing, don't you see that Liu Mei needs us now?

Liu Feng said with a cold face: "I know, it is precisely because of this that we can no longer make her sad, no matter whether Liu Yan's outing this time is Li Shen's conspiracy, I will go to him to ask him to understand." We can't let Liu Mei leave Liufu again, if something happens again, we won't be at ease for the rest of our lives, at least there are many masters in Liufu to protect her, and it's better than staying with us. ”

Jiang Tong looked at Liu Feng, and only then did he understand his good intentions, so he reached out and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, what you said is right, I was reckless and didn't think about it so much." I'm with you, we can definitely do it, at least my master!"

Liu Feng nodded his head lightly and said yes in response.

Jiang Tong said again: "By the way, what do you want to ask Liu Yan clearly?"

Liu Feng dodged Jiang Tong's eyes and said, "No, it's nothing, let's go." ”

Jiang Tong still wanted to hear what Liu Feng had to say, but he was pulled away by Liu Feng, and he was also very helpless, faintly feeling that Liu Feng seemed to have something to hide from him, but he couldn't think of anything for a while.

Speaking of Chu Yuntian, he had just arrived in Jiangdu for a day, and he also felt that this Jiangdu was indeed more prosperous and noisy than Yudong. This Yudong is like a small town, which is a prosperous and leisurely, sufficiently developed trade, and does not lose the tranquility of the town, which is really a quiet and comfortable place.

Although the surface of this Jiangdu is clean and comfortable, it is difficult to hide its prosperous scene because the city is so large, so under this pure appearance, it shows people's busyness everywhere.

This early in the morning, Chu Yuntian got up early, maybe it was to follow the customs, Chu Yuntian simply washed, and after eating breakfast, he left the inn.

On the streets of Jiangdu, how many people come and go, in fact, they are all people from foreign lands, and they are all from all over the world. Since Zhongzhou experienced the turmoil eighteen years ago, Chang'an has never recovered to its heyday, and instead of this Jiangdu, like a rising star, has accumulated for hundreds of years, and finally ushered in its star era at this moment.

Central Continent has been the most advanced and prosperous place of the human race since ancient times, but because of the wealth and prosperity of Central Continent, it has not brought any substantial benefits to Central Continent. On the contrary, because of this, good things always lead to trouble, the land of Middle-earth has always been a place where foreigners and human races themselves compete with each other, for thousands of years, I don't know how many races, how many forces have been involved, and in the end they are all like flowing water, all of which have become a cloud of the past.

After going through a lot, they got tired of it, and more and more human races could not bear the pain caused by the war, and chose to leave their hometowns and open up to those remote places, including the area south of the Yangtze River. With the influx of more and more human races, Jiangnan has gradually been developed, and the desolate land of the past has become a paradise that everyone yearns for. But this is not the main reason why Jiangnan has completely surpassed Zhongzhou and Chang'an.

With the invasion of the demons six hundred years ago, the land of Middle-earth was immersed in darkness, and that was an era that the human race should always remember.

Thousands of miles of lonely smoke, beacon fires burning, accumulating white bones, and human annihilation.

Suffering and calamity are often accompanied by hope, and in that time when there is no light, even a glimmer of hope will be longed for by people in the abyss. For the sake of that glimmer of hope, people in calamity will reflect, they will erupt, they will rebel. In the end, even if they perish, they will fight for the light, and the ending will be beautiful after all, and their blood proves that their strife is worth it and is correct.

When the calamity is gone, they will be faced with endless longing and good hope, and by their diligence and wisdom, they will build a great kingdom on that land. Time is like a merciless storm, always moving forward, without a trace of mercy for everyone, it soothes the wounded earth and all living beings, but takes away their past.

When everything goes back to the past, people often forget the pain of the past, and always naively think that the past will never be the same. Without the kind of worries of the past, it was just a blind happiness, and the Grand Canal, which prompted Jiangnan to completely enter the stage of the Dragon Domain, was born.

The canal was opened and the Great Xia was overturned. Danger does not only come from the outside, but also from within. The great country that once led the human race out of the sea of suffering, with the opening of the Grand Canal at this moment, fell peacefully, so quietly, that it was silent.

The Great Sui fell, but the canal is still flowing on the land of Dongzhou, it does not care who opened it up, and how, it is still flowing there, let the time pass, the years pass, the unchanging fact is to nourish the creatures on both sides of the river.

Thanks to the benefit of the canal, the land south of the Yangtze River has been unprecedentedly developed, and the resources of the entire Dragon Domain Terran are supplied to a piece of land.

Chu Yuntian stood on the stone arch bridge, looking at the flowing river, and opened his arms, he was full of firmness at this moment. Then, he walked straight in the precarious direction of the pavilion, and a resolute look flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Liu Feng and Jiang Tong are also walking in the direction of Jiangdu Wharf, which is not like Yudong, but the largest wharf on the canal. When I saw this canal, this Jiangdu wharf was a natural lake, and the canal passed through here. Due to the unique geographical environment advantages, Jiangdu has become the most in the south of the Yangtze River, and has also laid the foundation for surpassing Chang'an.

He had seen Liu Feng when he first arrived, he was a fledgling teenager, and when he saw it for the first time, he was also shocked by this. Thinking that it was also at this Jiangdu wharf that he met Jiang Tong, the two of them could be regarded as not knowing each other.

The two teenagers watched on the edge of this dock for a long time, but there was no trace of Liu Yan, and at this time Jiang Tong said, "Are you sure it's here?"

Liu Feng frowned, and said uncertainly: "It's hard to say, this Liu family's business is so big, how do I know where they are about it." ”

After Jiang Tong heard Liu Feng finish speaking, he said helplessly: "It turns out that you don't know it yourself, and you are still taking me around, isn't this a joke?"

After Jiang Tong finished speaking, he sat on the stone railing on the side, showing a depressed look, Liu Feng looked at him and said: "Don't be like this, I can't help it, this Liu family's business is too huge after all, and we only have to look for it one by one now, maybe if you're lucky, you can find it soon." ”

Jiang Tong still looked like that, he didn't look at Liu Feng, sat there and said, "I'm not leaving, you don't want to know where to look, I won't waste my strength with you in vain." ”

Knowing that Jiang Tong should be iron-hearted at this time, Liu Feng was also anxious for a while, and fell into a difficult situation.
