cpa300_4(); ...... with a mask Man?!

This sentence was like a basin of cold water, head-on and feet on my head, which was originally provoked by her, and I was a little angry, and in an instant, my whole person calmed down.

A man with a mask?!

As soon as the initial anger and shock passed, a figure, or rather, a title, flashed through my mind. Because I am not familiar with him, and I have not even met him with my own eyes, but the people who are related to him by blood are inextricably linked with me, and even give me the greatest comfort and warmth when I am most in pain.

With a mask......

I couldn't wait to step forward: "What are you talking about?

"What am I talking about, huh, do you want me to be clearer?"

I trembled slightly, but I still insisted on looking at the other party's disdainful eyes: "What kind of man?"

Xue Qian was a little surprised by my inquiry, thought about it, and said coldly: "I don't know who it is, but someone sees him and your mother often in the pavilion in the back mountain, and the two of them secretly have a private meeting." ”

“……”

"Sometimes, they stay there for half a day. ”

“……”

"Hmph, when your mother was still the eldest lady of the Yan family, she didn't know how to avoid taboos and didn't abide by women's morals!"

No matter how ugly she spoke, I seemed to be unable to hear it anymore, so I only asked, "What does that man look like?"

"How do I know? He said he was wearing a mask!" she seemed a little angry at my unfocused question, glared at me hatefully, thought for a moment, and sneered, "That mask is interesting." Someone has seen it, it is an iron mask, beaten with fangs, like a grimace. ”

“……”

"If he is a good man, can he be so secretive and unpopular?"

Iron Mask ...... Vicious fangs...... Like a grimace......

...... with a mask Man!

I just felt a little trembling all over my body, and my heartbeat in my chest was almost bursting through my body.

An earth-shattering name is already in my heart, and it is about to come out.

The Iron Mask King!

One of the Eight Heavenly Kings who is majestic in Shengjing, the invincible god of war on the grassland, is also the one who has a huge impact on me in this life, the relatives of the Queen Mother and Huang Tianba!

At this moment, my mind suddenly echoed the words that Mama Gui said to me when she was about to leave the palace-

"Whether it's dead or alive, no one can tell clearly......"

"He didn't return to Shengjing, but planned to travel in the Central Plains......

"Who knows, this person seems to have suddenly disappeared from the world, no matter how many people are sent, no matter how many people are found, no matter how much they look for it, they can't find ......"

At that time, although I was shocked by the news, I never thought that this incident would have anything to do with me, let alone that it would really come true.

But—

What if the thousandth guess in Mama Gui's heart is true?

What if the Iron Mask King really didn't die, and his travels reached a place where people in the court couldn't find it?

All I felt was a thunderbolt banging overhead!

For a long time, the rumbling thunder did not dissipate, but kept circling in my mind, shaking my whole body in a daze.

The Iron Mask King?

The Iron Mask King!

……

If I make a bold guess that the masked man I was dealing with my mother was him, the invincible Iron Mask King who was majestic on the grassland back then, then this would seem to explain why the Queen Mother and the Emperor Taishang sent so many people and could not find his whereabouts.

Because he came to Nishikawa.

The sphere of influence of the imperial court is the entire Central Plains, but Xichuan is not under the rule of the imperial court.

As for why he came to Xichuan, as a man like him, he is a master of art and bold, even if it is not a strange thing to sneak into any unpredictable place, not to mention, Xichuan, this land that has been independent of the imperial court since the imperial family went south, may have a different kind of temptation for him.

It's just, how did he meet my mother?

Xue Qian said that he often wore a mask and went to the back mountain to meet my mother, what is the relationship between them, and what are they doing?

I don't think that the two of them met secretly in the back mountain, just as Xue Qian said, so unsightly, her own words are contradictory - if it is really a private meeting, if you really want to do something unscrupulous, how can you run to the back mountain where someone may appear at any time, and the meeting place is a pavilion with wind on all sides!

However, if it is not a private meeting, then the meeting between the two of them is afraid that it will not be so simple.

The Iron Mask King of Katsukyo!

Mrs. Yan of Xichuan!

They are all big people who can turn their hands into clouds and rain on one side, and what they want to interact with is not a trivial matter.

Also, where has the Iron Mask been all these years, and why hasn't he been heard from again?

Now, is he still alive?

Mysteries kept churning in my mind, not far from me, I always thought I could get them and solve them, but when I stretched out my hand, there was a force that pushed them away again.

I raised my head and glanced at Xue Qian's angry face.

……

It seemed that it was impossible to ask anything more from her. If this matter is recognized as a "private meeting", then it is impossible for my father to let more people know, so I have grown up so big in Xichuan, and I don't know anything about the "Iron Mask King".

Of course, if that man is really the Iron Mask King.

At this time, Xue Qian said coldly: "So, your mother is such a person." If you don't abide by women's morals, you will meet wild men privately......"

It's impossible to say that I'm not angry, but I settled down and said very calmly: "There are things that the sage hears and thinks is clear, and the fool hears it and thinks it's turbid." ”

"What do you mean?"

"My mother is to that poor scholar Liu Shizhou, I believe they have a sense of confidant, so my mother will sponsor him. Without my mother's funding, maybe Liu Shizhou would not have been able to hold out in the capital, and there would be no him who later paid homage to Yangzhou Mansion Yin, did good deeds for the people in Jiangnan, and wrote to ask the emperor to depose the untouchables of several provinces in Jiangnan. ”

“……”

"And such a fair and honest gentleman's friendship, in your eyes, is a private meeting, not a woman's way. ”

“……”

"You never knew my mother, you didn't understand what she wanted, so why should you judge her?"

The more I spoke, the more ugly Xue Qian's face became, from pale to iron-blue, and I could almost hear her teeth grinding, as if she wanted to bite off a piece of flesh from me, or from my mother.

And I said calmly: "But speaking of which, my mother has never said a word in front of me that you are not." ”

"What?!" she looked at me in amazement.

I glanced at her coldly.

Back then, even if I was so young and so scared, I still couldn't help but curse her secretly in my heart, but when my mother heard it, she just smiled faintly, stroked my heart, and softly told me-

"Light, if you want to get rid of troubles, you must have no self, and each has its own cause and don't envy people. ”

"New lady, she also has her own Shura field. ”

"You may not be able to see her pain. ”

Now I understand how much the pain of the old lady in front of me is, for a woman, it is indeed not easy, and she has indeed endured too much suffering that should not be endured, her persistence, of course, is also a victory, but such a victory is extremely painful.

A pyrrhic victory is like defeat.

My mother, I understand her.

It's a pity -

"You don't understand my mother, but she won't blame you. ”

……

"Because, she and you are not the same person at all. ”

After saying that, I also replied to her with a cold smile.

In fact, by now, I really don't fear her anymore, and I don't even hate her.

In the final analysis, she has lived in her love all her life, only knowing the sorrow of love, and not thinking more, and because of this, she has not even been able to completely eradicate the forces that my mother left in Xichuan over the years, and Yan Qingchen, no matter what kind of purpose, also let this situation go.

In fact, she is a spoiled eldest lady, innocent, and the same is true when she is old.

So, my dad loved her, but he couldn't love her more.

After saying that, I was about to turn around and leave, but as soon as I turned around just now, Xue Qian suddenly became angry and scolded: "You unscrupulous girl, what are you talking about!"

Although she was not polite to me before, she seemed to have been suppressing her temper, but as soon as she mentioned that my mother was not the same person as her, she suddenly became angry, waved the dragon staff in her hand and hit me.

At this moment, a person suddenly appeared next to him, and stretched out his arm to hold the dragon staff that came down with the whirring wind.

When I looked closely, it turned out to be a fearless monk.

His arms were thicker than my legs, and the dragon staff was blocked by him and didn't move, I was startled, and hurriedly said, "Uncle Fearless!"

The fearless monk said angrily: "There is a sprinkle family here, who dares to be rude to the eldest lady!"

"You-" As soon as Xue Qian saw him, more surging emotions collided in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Fearless, you let go!"

"I sue you, back then, that Yan Muzhi and the Sprinkler family were all beaten, and now the people of the Yan family, which one of the Sprinkler family can't beat it?!"

He has said this clearly enough, Xue Qian has been high in the Yan family all these years, including in Xichuan, no one dares to say a word of seriousness, but he was actually "beaten", how ugly and ugly his face is, he is so angry that he trembles: "Fearless, you-I see it in the explanation of my late husband, I don't care about you, don't be ignorant!"

"The Sprinkle family doesn't know what's good, and the Sprinkle family is never afraid of people to care!"

Seeing that these two people were on the needle, Xue Qian was so angry that he couldn't even hold the dragon staff steadily, and he slammed on the ground, and there were already people around who had discovered our dispute, and a few fast-legged attendants had already run to call someone.

After a while, I saw Yan Qingchen and them walking towards this side from a distance.

I thought about it, and said to the fearless monk: "Uncle Fearless, forget it." ”

"Forget it, Miss, she treats you like this, and you still help her talk!"

"Uncle Fearless, after all, she is the hostess here, you don't-"

"! The mistress of the Yan family is your mother!"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a double-edged sword, cutting me, and also piercing Xue Qian's heart, her face turned pale, and she seemed to be a little unsteady on her feet, and she could only desperately hold on to the dragon staff to barely support herself.

I also took a deep breath in pain.

But in front of them, Yan Qingchen and the others were about to come here, and in the mourning hall, the guests who came to mourn seemed to have sensed the strangeness here, and they all looked at us with their heads probed and whispered.

I bit my lower lip and lowered my voice, "Uncle Fearless, don't be like this. My mother - after all, she has been dead for so many years. ”

If she really cares so much about who is the mistress of the Yan family, then I think this hostess may not really be Xue Qian's turn to do it.

But the fearless monk didn't understand what I meant at all, but was angrier than me, looked at me, glared at Xue Qian again, and said hatefully: "Hmph, if this broken place is hers, just don't stay at the house!"

"Uncle Fearless!"

The fearless monk ignored my cries, turned and walked forward, I hurriedly reached out to grab him, but he waved my arm away, and I was almost knocked to the ground by him, and he walked away without looking back.

When Yan Qingchen who was coming towards them saw him like this, it was not easy for them to go up and stop him, only Liu Qinghan hesitated for a moment and shouted softly: "Master......"

The fearless monk stopped and looked at him, took a sip, and walked away without looking back.

Xue Qian was left standing in place, so angry that he couldn't speak, and after a while, he turned the spearhead to me: "Hmph, this is the person trained by your mother, who has escaped into the empty door for so many years, and is still a savage!"

I didn't speak with a cold face, and at this time, Pei Yuanxiu had already come over and helped me.

Yan Qingchen also pushed the wheelchair and slowly walked in front of us.

The attendant went to invite him, and he should have told us in general, he looked at us coldly, and ordered: "Please go back to the old lady's room to rest, and let people prepare ginseng soup to replenish the old lady's qi." ”

"Light Dust—"

"Mother," Yan Qingchen said lightly, "Since she is a wild man, her mother has no reason to be angry with a wild man." ”

He said this coldly and lightly, but it was impossible to refute, Old Madam Yan was originally so angry that her face turned white, but now looking at him, she had nothing to say, only panting with her dragon staff. Yan Qingchen turned to us again, glanced at everyone with clear eyes, and then said: "Today is the day to send the spiritual position of Master Zhengjue on the road, I don't want any more accidents, it's okay if this person is gone." Sister-" He looked at me, and his voice softened: "If you think it's inappropriate, wait for the happy event to be done after a while, and then give some sesame oil money to Tianmu Temple." Isn't that good?"

He said a few words, but he said things properly, and I had nothing to say, so I nodded hastily.

"Then it's fine. Let's all go to the mourning hall. ”

After saying that, he turned his wheelchair around and walked towards the mourning hall again.

I didn't suffer any injuries, but my breath was a little uneven, Pei Yuanxiu kept half-hugging me, and asked softly, "Why did you quarrel?"

I glanced at him, bowed my head and said, "She scolded my mother again." ”

He was silent for a moment.

The people around were probably afraid of the two of us talking "private words", and they all sped up a few steps to go to the mourning hall, I and he fell last, he helped me walk slowly, just as he was about to enter the door of the mourning hall, Pei Yuanxiu said softly: "I think my mother-in-law should be an extraordinary person, the more extraordinary the person, the more criticized it is." Don't be angry. ”

Instead of getting angry, I laughed: "How do you know that my mother is an extraordinary person?"

"If it weren't for my mother-in-law's extraordinary, how could I be given such an extraordinary wife?"

Looking at the sly look in his smiling eyes, I knew that I was being tricked by him again, and I couldn't help but laugh when I glanced at him.

It's just that after laughing for a while, his expression is still heavy.

Pei Yuanxiu asked, "What's wrong?"

I was silent and didn't speak.

He frowned slightly, and then looked forward with my heavy gaze, only to see that on the mourning hall, the white clothes and white flags were flying gently in the wind, and in that piece of snow white, Yan Qinghan had already held Yan Yizhi's spiritual position and slowly walked out from behind the altar.
