In the cloudless sky, a touch of warm sun hung high, and people were lazy in the sun.

Outside the tall and quaint city gates, there is a vast plain that stretches far into the sky, with no end in sight.

At this time, it is spring, and the tender grass on the plain is budding, and it is full of vitality, showing the beauty of spring.

A large flat-topped four-wheeled carriage drawn by three tall brown horses and made of the finest nanmu made slowly moved slowly across the plain under the clear sky.

On the wheel of the carriage sat a young man with a whip in one hand and a reins in the other, wearing a navy blue robe, with an indifferent face.

The two people in the carriage are Leng Qing and Yan Ziming.

"What are you thinking?" Seeing that Leng Qing had been distracted after listening to his question, Yan Ziming couldn't help but interrupt Leng Qing's fugue out of the world.

Retracting his thoughts, lowering his eyes slightly, Leng Qing replied lightly: "It's nothing, Leng Qing's name...... I took it myself, and it sounds good to call. ”

Seeing that Leng Qing had no intention of telling him the truth, Yan Ziming had no choice but to shut up and stop asking.

"Master, should we take the official road or take a shortcut back this time?" Outside the carriage, Mu Wen's voice suddenly sounded.

"Take the official road. Without the slightest hesitation, Yan Ziming directly spit out such a sentence.

"Yes, sir. After the sound of Mu Wen's consent, there was the sound of a horsewhip flapping in the air, and the speed of the carriage was a little faster.

In the carriage, Leng Qing and Yan Ziming were silent, Leng Qing was trapped in the past.

And Yan Ziming, although he looked at Leng Qing, he didn't know what he was thinking, but it was certain that both of them had their own thoughts.

For a long time, it seemed that time had frozen, and a cold voice sounded in the carriage.

"You don't even ask me who I am, where did I come from, and can you rest assured that I'm following you?" Leng Qing asked as she met Yan Xu's gaze.

When Yan Xu heard this, he smiled slightly, and asked, "Then why don't you ask us who we are? Where did we come from?

was asked like this, Leng Qing was silent.

Seeing this, Yan Xu still smiled and said: "Now, it is you who follow us, since you don't ask, why should we ask? No matter where you come from or who you are, you can't escape a 'cause'." And this 'cause', I don't think you want to say, and I won't ask about it. ”

When he closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and opened his eyes again, Leng Qing's eyes were gloomy.

Even if they asked, she wouldn't tell them where she came from.

She knew something they would never be able to access or understand in their lifetime. She's an outlier in this world!

It's night.

There are fourteen counties in the Great Liang Kingdom, and the county in Kyoto Crepe is called Liangxing County.

Because Lin Xiaoyang stopped and walked along the way, it was like going out to play, so at this moment, Lin Zhiwu and Lin Xiaoyang had not yet left Liangxing County.

Because Lin Xiaoyang was greedy for fun, for three nights in a row, Lin Zhiwu and Lin Xiaoyang both missed the time to throw in the stack.

Tonight, the two of them missed the time to throw themselves into the stack, so they had to spend the night at a villager's house in a small village only 800 miles away from Creping.

Since the poisoning incident in the village on the first day, Lin Zhiwu and Lin Xiaoyang have stayed in other villages since then, and Lin Xiaoyang no longer dares to eat the things sent to them by the villagers, and he does not even dare to drink water.

Unless it is food that has been thoroughly inspected by Lin Zhiwu and determined to be absolutely safe, Lin Xiaoyang will dare to eat it!

Regarding Lin Xiaoyang's expression of "being bitten by a snake for ten years and afraid of the well rope", Lin Zhiwu still seems quite satisfied.

This at least proves that although Lin Xiaoyang has a heavy heart and a simple temperament, he can eat a sting and grow wise, right?

In fact, Lin Xiaoyang is not an uncarvable piece of rotten wood, as long as he is good at teaching, although he can't become the second Zhu Zimo, he can definitely be a careful smart person.

Holding the sketch drawing drawn by the eldest brother the night before, Lin Zhiwu slowly paced back and forth in the small room, his face was both solemn and a little dazed, and he didn't know how long he had been pacing like this.

I saw Lin Zhiwu not stopping, and he asked without raising his head: "Lin Gongzi, what do you think the content of the picture on this picture means?

At this moment, Lin Xiaoyang was lying flat on the wooden bed in the villager's house, with one hand pillow behind his head and the other holding an object.

Take a closer look, what Lin Xiaoyang is holding in his hand is the red jade pendant that Leng Qing gave him outside the city gate on the day he set off for Jiangnan.

With the help of the oil lamp resting on the square table one meter away, Lin Xiaoyang looked at the texture and carving of the jade pendant in his hand over and over again, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that the jade pendant that Leng Qing gave him was very good-looking.

At first glance, when he heard Lin Zhiwu ask him a question, Lin Xiaoyang didn't react for a while-

Looking at Lin Zhiwu, Lin Xiaoyang asked rhetorically, "What did Deputy Steward Lin say?"

When Lin Zhiwu heard this, he suddenly stopped and looked at Lin Xiaoyang, who was lying flat on the bed.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyang was holding the red jade pendant that Leng Qing gave him that day, Lin Zhiwu knew that Lin Xiaoyang must have been staring at the jade pendant again just now.

Sighing helplessly, Lin Zhiwu comforted him with kind words: "Lin Gongzi, even if you miss the master and the young lady again, you don't have to take out the jade pendant that the young lady gave you whenever you have free time!"

It sounds like an ordinary word of consolation, but in fact, Lin Zhiwu's words implied a reminder.

Although Lin Zhiwu is only two years older than Lin Xiaoyang, he has never experienced love. But in terms of feelings, Lin Zhiwu is more experienced than Lin Xiaoyang of Mu Ne.

How could Lin Zhiwu not see that Lin Xiaoyang had thoughts about his young lady who shouldn't have moved?

Lin Zhiwu believes that if he is as shrewd as his grandfather, he must have seen it!

But Zhu Zimo didn't say anything, as a subordinate, Lin Zhiwu couldn't say anything directly, so he could only knock Lin Xiaoyang on the side.

However, simply like Lin Xiaoyang, he didn't hear the implied reminder in Lin Zhiwu's words.

Smiling embarrassedly at Lin Zhiwu, Lin Xiaoyang turned over and sat on the edge of the wooden bed, carefully taking the jade pendant in his hand into his arms.

After patting the jade pendant, Lin Xiaoyang smiled at Lin Zhiwu: "I'm sorry, I won't do this again next time." ”

Seeing that his reminder failed, Lin Zhiwu could only sigh helplessly.

"Lin Gongzi, what do you think the content of the picture on this picture means? That mysterious person, why is he looking for the things painted on this picture?" Walking to the square table and sitting down, Lin Zhiwu asked the question just now.

Lin Xiaoyang got up as he said, walked to the position next to Lin Zhiwu and sat down.

The square table with a side length of only about one meter has only an old oil lamp on it, and Lin Xiaoyang's long sword that does not leave his body an inch, and there is nothing else.

Looking at the drawing in Lin Zhiwu's hand, Lin Xiaoyang shook his head: "I don't know why that mysterious person is looking for this thing, but I have seen things that are the same as the patterns drawn on this drawing." ”

"Oh, I don't know where Lin Gongzi has seen it?" Lin Zhiwu heard this, and immediately became interested.

Although this matter has nothing to do with Lin Zhiwu, people will be curious.

The mysterious man went to such great lengths to find what was drawn on the drawing, which meant that it must be of great value! The more this happened, the more curious Lin Zhiwu became.

However, this matter really has something to do with Lin Zhiwu to a greater or lesser extent, but this relationship is a bit far away.

Lin Xiaoyang thought about it seriously before he considered his words and said, "I saw it from the second senior brother." ”

"Have you seen it there?" Lin Zhiwu was obviously surprised.

Nodding, Lin Xiaoyang slowly said the scene of that day: "The second senior brother handed it over to me on the day he got married, and the brocade box that I asked him to keep temporarily for him was engraved with the patterns drawn on this drawing, and it was engraved on every side. The brocade box is heavy to the hand, and the contents inside should be quite heavy. However, after all, the second senior brother asked me to help keep it, so even if the brocade box was left with me for a few days, I didn't open the brocade box to peek at what it contained. ”

Reaching out and pulling out the drawings in Lin Zhiwu's hand, looking carefully at the patterns drawn on the drawings, Lin Xiaoyang said with some uncertainty: "I have indeed only seen the same thing as this pattern from the second senior brother, but I can't be sure that it is the same thing." After all, those people also said that the mysterious person was looking for something with jade and metal, and the second senior brother's was just a wooden box. But was the contents of the box what the mysterious man was looking for...... I'm not sure. ”

After listening to Lin Xiaoyang's words, Lin Zhiwu nodded knowingly: "Lin Gongzi didn't say the following words that night, just because Gongzi himself couldn't be sure whether the thing that the mysterious person was looking for was really in the hands of the master, and he was also afraid of causing trouble to the master, right?"

Having said that, Lin Zhiwu had another thought in his heart: although the box is wooden, it doesn't mean that the contents of the box are not what the mysterious person is looking for!

It seems that there is something wrong with the matter! He must do his best to report this matter to Zhu Zimo to know!

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyang nodded, looked at Lin Zhiwu seriously, and said, "That's right, no matter whether what that mysterious person is looking for is really in the hands of the second senior brother, I can't cause trouble for the second senior brother." The second senior brother is so good to me, if I affect the second senior brother because of my words, even if I die a hundred times, it will not be enough!"

Hearing Lin Xiaoyang say this, Lin Zhiwu grinned, and the smile was as warm as the wind, warmer than the warm sun in the daytime.

Stretching out his hand to put his hand on Lin Xiaoyang's shoulder, Lin Zhiwu said with relief: "With Lin Gongzi's words, even if there is really any trouble in the future, it will definitely not be Gongzi that you caused him." It's great that the master can have a junior brother who thinks about him like Childe!"

Hearing this, Lin Xiaoyang also grinned.

Taking back the drawings from Lin Xiaoyang's hands, carefully folding the drawings into his arms, Lin Zhiwu said: "Lin Gongzi, rest early!

A casual remark swept the topic over.

Lin Zhiwu and Lin Xiaoyang both know that there are some things that they can't cover.
