More than ten days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the weather in Lin'an City is still hot. Shen Liancheng looked forward to it day by day, but did not expect news from Li Ji, but received a letter from his grandfather Shen Kuo.

Grandfather finally received the parchment scroll sent by Sun Liu'er, but there was no suspense or twists and turns. But in the letter, he asked Shen Liancheng to go to Kyoto, but the letter did not mention why.

His father, Shen Zhongshu, carefully read the letter three times, and was very puzzled and worried about Shen Kuo's letting Shen Liancheng go to Kyoto. In particular, if he didn't even reveal the slightest reason, he was afraid that something big would happen.

Seeing him so anxious, Shen Liancheng hurriedly persuaded him: "I went to my grandfather's house, what is there to worry about my father?" It's not the first time I've been there. ”

"This time and that time." Shen Zhongshu's face was solemn, "Then Chen Xiang ate your plan, didn't get the parchment roll, and didn't settle accounts with you?" I can't rest assured that I'm going all the way. ”

A father's worries are not necessarily too much. Hong Qi, the best guard in the family, had just completed the task, and it should be on the way back. Shen Liancheng is going to Kyoto, who will protect her?

Is it strange that a person as shrewd as my grandfather did not take this into account? He should have sent someone to pick her up.

Shen Liancheng thought silently, and Steward Feng hurriedly ran in.

"What's going on?" Steward Feng has always been steady, and this is the first time I've seen him like this. Shen Zhongshu couldn't help but ask him urgently.

"Outside......" Steward Feng gasped, "That remnant of Chen Guo outside has come to the door!" You have to come into the house to see the eldest lady. ”

Chen Xiang actually came to the door! Shen Liancheng was also frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How many people did he bring?" ”

"But he's the only one I saw."

"Alone?" So, not to provoke trouble, but to really see her? Shen Liancheng thought for a moment and ordered, "Please invite him in." ”

"Ahh Shen Zhongshu did not agree.

"Honorable Prince," Steward Feng said busily, "he said that if the eldest lady doesn't see him, he will come into the mansion." ”

Hearing this, Shen Zhongshu was even more angry, "No matter how inactive I am, I can't ask him to bully him into our house." After that, he instructed Steward Feng to call someone, and planned to go out to meet Chen Xiang in person.

"Father......" Seeing this, Shen Liancheng hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Father, don't be impatient." She shook her head lightly, frowned slightly, and said unusually firmly: "If you take people out, you will also let them die in vain." Let him come in, and see what he wants to see me. ”

Shen Zhongshu hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed.

He asked Steward Feng to call all the guards of the family to Yixiu Garden, and secretly made a decision in his heart: if Chen Xiang dared to act rashly against his daughter, he would definitely fight for his life.

After about a cup of tea, the guards of Yixiu Yuan were all ambushed, and Chen Xiang was also brought in.

He was wearing a lilac robe with white diamond trim, a milky white hairband embroidered with auspicious clouds, half green silk, all the way to the waist, a long figure, and a beautiful face, which made him look like an immortal. When Shen Zhongshu, who is famous for his beauty, saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, and forgot for a moment that he was Chen Xiang who had harmed his daughter.

He was dressed so solemnly this time! It's like a noble son, who came to be a guest.

Shen Liancheng was stunned for a moment, until he saw the splendid sachet hanging on the jade belt around his waist - it was the one she had sewn for him earlier, and the crooked word "hidden" seemed a little out of place with his elegant and noble appearance.

What did he mean by putting this sachet on his body? Shen Liancheng looked at it and felt extremely dazzling. That kind of hanging is clearly ironic!

No one invited him into the house to sit down, he couldn't help but chuckle, looked directly at Shen Liancheng and said, "This is how the Jinyang Mansion entertains guests?" ”

"Less gossip!" Shen Zhongshu was unceremonious and asked bluntly: "Why did you come to my Jinyang Mansion so blatantly?" ”

Chen Xiang didn't look at Shen Zhongshu, and his gaze stayed on Shen Liancheng's face. He chuckled and didn't answer Shen Zhongshu's words.

Shen Zhongshu was so angry that one side of his beard jumped. He simply stepped forward, blocked his view of his daughter, and said angrily: "What a rude! Who do you dare to look at in broad daylight? ”

"Your daughter has been mine since the morning." Chen Xiang said such things lightly.

"Smack!"

Shen Zhongshu trembled with anger, suddenly raised his hand, and slapped him in the face. After the fight, even he himself was frightened by his actions.

Shen Liancheng hurriedly pounced, and subconsciously pulled his father back, for fear that Chen Xiang would kill him with a sword when he was angry.

Looking at Chen Xiang again, but seeing that he was not angry or angry, she couldn't help but step forward and said coldly: "What, this is your new way of taking revenge on me?" ”

"It's also a whim, and it seems to work well." Chen Xiang's words were light, and there was not much smugness in his eyes.

"Tell me, what's the matter with me?" Shen Liancheng no longer entangled with those meaningless ones, so he asked him directly.

It wasn't until such a close distance that Chen Xiang felt refreshed when he saw that Shen Liancheng's eyes seemed to be filled with a layer of anger because of his hatred for him.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, and told her with a smile, "I will go with you to the Kyoto Taifu Mansion." ”

Hearing this, Shen Liancheng and Shen Zhongshu were both surprised.

"How did you know I was going to Kyoto?" Shen Liancheng couldn't help but ask.

"As I said, only I can unravel the secret of the parchment roll." Chen Xiang was not afraid to tell her that he had ordered his subordinates to make such a deal with her grandfather. "You go to Kyoto, and I'll help your grandfather solve the mystery of the parchment scroll. That's my condition. ”

Shen Liancheng and Shen Zhongshu glanced at each other, but they didn't believe his words.

"Nonsense! How can the family agree to such an unreasonable demand! Shen Zhongshu didn't believe that his father would wronged his most beloved granddaughter in order to unlock the secret of the parchment scroll.

"I didn't expect it, before the major events of the family and the country, you are just a chess piece that can be used." Chen Xiang still looked directly at Shen Liancheng, deliberately provoking the family affection between her and Shen Kuo.

Shen Liancheng's mind was a little chaotic. Unconsciously, his hands had clenched into two unwilling fists in the wide sleeves of his coat.

Did her grandfather make such a deal with him? Is it really that important to find the tomb of Chen Taizu and get Zhan Longjue and the Imperial Sword? More important than her name, her safety?

"You must have coerced my grandfather." She didn't believe that her grandfather was such a person! The person who will leave her before the major events of the family and the country...... Definitely not.

"I coerced him." Chen Xiang didn't care, "Without me solving the mystery of the parchment scroll, no one would be able to get Zhan Longjue and the Imperial Sword." ”

Or that's the case! Shen Liancheng didn't want to hear it anymore.

She quickly decided, "Okay, let's leave tomorrow and go to Kyoto." ”

She wanted to ask his grandfather if walking with the tiger and wolf was also his acquiescence.
