This is a large population, prosperous and rich city, located in the Central Plains, mountains and rivers, there is Luoshui through the city, is the place where the aura of the Chinese land gathers, but also Cen Kexuan's home for nine years of separation. When she lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at the two big characters at www.biquge.info the gate of the city, she felt that the sun was scorching, there was a little dust in the wind, and her clear vision suddenly became blurred.

When she left with the palace master, she thought that her brother would come to look for her soon, but who knew that this would be a full nine years. Nine cold and summer, the wind and clouds are changing. Every time she looks at the snowy top of Ziyun Mountain, she can't help but imagine, has there ever been snow in Luoyang City? Is there a city full of lights? These images have recurred in her dreams over the years, and now, this dream is finally awake and shattered.

She saw countless unfamiliar faces coming in and out of the city gates, and the noise continued, and there was no familiarity in those faces. In the past nine years, there have been too many changes in the world. Somewhere in the heart was a dull ache that was unbearable, like a lifeline being torn apart in an instant. Only by holding the unicorn jade hidden in the placket of the clothes can you find half a point of attachment and alleviate the surging helplessness and despair. Seeing Cen Kexuan contemplating for a long time, Dou Lan couldn't help but be a little worried, pulled her sleeve, and whispered, "Miss? Surprised that someone had called her, Cen Kexuan came back to her senses and reluctantly showed a seemingly peaceful smile to Dou Lan: "I'm fine." ”

Bai Jingfeng saw that her demeanor was abnormal, and he suddenly became interested, and said with some curiosity: "Isn't Miss Cen ever coming to Luoyang?" "Everyone knows that a girl was brought into the Purple Cloud Palace nine years ago, but no one knows where she came from. It was rare for Bai Jingfeng to take the initiative to talk to her, which made Cen Kexuan a little flattered. She tilted her head and thought for a moment, then replied half-truthfully, "I was here when I was a child. The wandering gaze accidentally bumped into Bai Moyin's indifferent eyes, and his heart trembled slightly.

Bai Jingfeng couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, nodded casually, and said, "In this case, if you revisit the old place today, Miss Cen should have a good appreciation." With that, he turned his head out of the window without paying attention, apparently no longer interested in continuing the conversation with her.

After a long journey through the city, the carriage finally stopped at the door of a mansion. I only heard Xiao Wu, who was driving in front of him, raise his voice and shouted excitedly: "It's here." Cen Kexuan realized that she could finally rest for a few days, eat a full meal and get a good night's sleep. As soon as the group got out of the car and landed, someone who looked like a housekeeper greeted them, and said to the two sons of the Bai family and Cen Kexuan: "Second son, third son, Miss Cen, the wine and food have been prepared, please inside." ”

Bai Moyin nodded, glanced at Cen Kexuan, and ordered: "Miss Cen is tired of carriages and horses, you take her to rest first, and as for the food and pastries, send them directly to her room." Cen Kexuan smiled at him gratefully, and the butler bowed slightly and whispered in response, then stepped aside.

As soon as he entered the mansion, a few servants led Cen Kexuan into the inner courtyard to rest, and the housekeeper led Bai Moyin and Bai Jingfeng towards the hall. Cen Kexuan took Dou Lan to follow the boy servant into the house from the side, all the way through the vermilion corridor, the winding path, turned left and right, and stopped at a small courtyard. This courtyard is planted with all kinds of flowers, there is a bluestone path vacant in the middle, it is winding, it can be called a small jasper, a row of willows is lined up on the wall around the courtyard, the branches are graceful and gentle, swaggering to the outside of the wall, falling down like silk, the scenery is wonderful.

The boy servant who led the way was well-trained, his face was not shocked, and he said to Cen Ke respectfully: "This is Miss Cen's residence, and we will bring you food soon." If Miss Cen still needs anything, she can summon her at any time. After saying that, he slowly retreated.

Yujing Villa in Luoyang, this mansion is called Biliu Garden, as the name suggests, this garden is lined with green willows, the willows are like smoke waves, and the greenery is full. Cen Kexuan stood in the courtyard and looked carefully, but felt that this scene was fresh and pleasant, which was quite in line with her heart, and her eyes finally revealed a smile. Dou Lan suddenly sighed: "Miss finally smiled." There seemed to be a sigh of relief between the words. Cen Kexuan was stunned for a moment, and Dou Lan said worriedly: "Since this way, since she arrived in Luoyang, Miss has become more and more silent, which makes Dou Lan very worried. ”

In her homeland, she has many emotions in her heart, but she can't tell others, so she is naturally very depressed. However, Doulan, who cared about her, still captured it carefully and was worried about her. Cen Kexuan's heart warmed, and he felt a little guilty, so he had to smile slightly: "I came to Luoyang when I was a child, and now I come here again many years later. After hearing this, Dou Lan clapped her hands and smiled: "Isn't it better to be here before?" This time I will rest in Luoyang, and the young lady can go out for a walk, and she may be much happier. ”

Cen Kexuan thought about it, for nine years, I don't know how Luoyang has changed compared to the past? What about those who used to walk around the Cen family when they were young? Cen was one of the three wealthy businessmen in Luoyang back then, and most of the people he interacted with in the past must be able to call for wind and rain in Luoyang today. She asked Doulan, "For example?" Do you know what to do in Luoyang? Dou Lan pouted and said, "Miss is testing me again!" Cen Kexuan laughed and teased her: "Don't you know everything." ”

Although this is a joke, it is also mostly sincere. Of the legends she had heard since she was a child, what were some of the things that Dou Lan said and she heard? This girl is not only much bolder than ordinary girls, but also very diligent and inquisitive, and has her own ideas. Dou Lan listened to her praise, and did not humbly deny it, only grinned at her, thought about it, bit her finger and said: "I heard that there is a Banjiang Building in Luoyang, and there is a ...... there"

"What's there?" Cen Kexuan remembered the conversation with the white-faced scholar in Furong Town, and said: "I once heard a scholar say that that place is a famous Qinglou in Luoyang!" But that's a place where only men can go, so what's so great? Dou Lan was very unimpressed, and said: "So what, if Miss wants to go, is it possible to bring silver, they still won't let you in, and dare to kick you out?" ”

The Qinglou naturally opened its doors to do business, and only brought silver, of course, it would not kick out the guests. Although this is the truth, but it is really shocking, Cen Kexuan was stunned by her bold remarks, and after a while, Fang turned red and muttered: "What am I going to do in that kind of place?" Dou Lan blinked and smiled at her: "There is the first beauty in the world, don't you want to see it?" ”

The first beauty in the world? Cen Kexuan was in a trance, remembering the story told by the scholar and Fan Yuqing's drunken madness, and suddenly exclaimed: "The first beauty in the world, but it's called Jinyue?" Dou Lan nodded and praised: "It turns out that Miss has already heard of it?" Cen Kexuan didn't answer for a while, he was in a trance for a while, and then he muttered: "I don't know if the beauties in the world are as good-looking as Sister Huayue." Hua Yue is already the most outstanding-looking and extraordinary woman she has ever seen, such as the bright moon in the clouds, the ice and snow in early spring, and a clear woman who can be seen from a distance and cannot be blasphemed.

When Dou Lan heard her say this, she didn't say anything, she just smiled and said, "Miss will find out if she chooses to take a look at it." "Seeing is believing, thousands of rumors, it's better to see it with your own eyes. Cen Kexuan suddenly lowered his head and patted his stomach, and said seriously: "I want to fill my stomach first." For a moment, the two looked at each other, and the next moment they were already laughing.

As soon as Bai Moyin and the others walked into the hall, an old man with a calm face and a beard like paint stepped forward, this person was in his early fifties, dressed in a green robe, but at a glance it seemed that he was only in his forties, full of energy, it was Xu Yifa of the real martial arts altar of Yujing Villa. He briefly reported the relevant events in Luoyang City, and at the same time conveyed the main events and changes in Zhuangzhong recently. Bai Moyin listened quietly before asking, "Yifeng is in Luoyang now?" ”

Xu Yifa said: "Lord Xu Tan is on his way south, and he should be able to arrive within three days." Bai Moyin nodded, indicating that he understood. That Xu Yifa said: "Taiyuan over there, ......" Xu Yifeng was originally the owner of the Taiyuan Zhenwu Altar, which was managed by Bai Moyin for a period of time, and in the early years in the Taiyuan area, the scenery was infinite, and most of the rumors about Mo Yin's son in the rivers and lakes began here. Now that Bai Yufeng is in charge of Yujing Villa, there are many criticisms in Taiyuan, and some people are even secretly plotting how to pull Bai Yufeng down from the position of the owner of the village and support Bai Moyin to replace him.

And Xu Yifeng, Xu Yifa and others, who are in high positions in Taiyuan, are more inclined to obey orders than those impulsive people. Bai Moyin knew this well, and actually said: "The position of the owner of the village has been confirmed, if anyone has any objections, it is disloyal to Yujing Villa, which is a taboo in the village." You tell Yifeng that if the people in the True Martial Arts Arena behave out of line again, as long as the evidence is conclusive, they can make an example of them if necessary. Xu Yifa was silent for a moment, and finally said, "I'll notify that side." ”

Bai Jingfeng originally came in lazily, but just stepped through the door, and happened to hear these words, and the strings that had been tense in his heart instantly relaxed: no matter how many misunderstandings and incomprehensions there are, the second brother is still his own family. With a smile in his eyes, he stretched his waist and yawned, "Second brother, I'm also a little sleepy, I'll come back tomorrow morning to say hello to you." As he spoke, he took the lead back to the house.

Xu Yifa still stood aside, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered: "Second son, someone has been waiting for you for a long time." ”

Bai Moyin's place of residence is not far from Cen Kexuan, which can be said to be very close. If you walk, you can reach it in just half a cup of tea. This arrangement is also out of Cen Kexuan's safety considerations. Although it is in his own house, after all, it is not as strict as the guards of Yujing Villa, and he really can't guarantee that there will be no idle people and others intruding at night. If there is really a good one, it is convenient for him to come over as soon as possible.

He walked slowly between the bluestone paths, the willow branches on both sides sometimes hanging down to his shoulders, and he didn't care, he stretched out his hand and gently lifted it away, with a kind of indifference and open-mindedness that was not moved by external objects. Approaching the doorway of a room with a hidden door, he stopped slightly. This was the room he had when he was temporarily living in Biliuyuan, and ordinary people were absolutely not allowed to trespass, and even Bai Jingfeng didn't dare to break in at will without his consent.

But there are exceptions, and he was silent for a moment, then he reached out and gently pushed the door in.

The sound of the door opening is very subtle, but it is very clear. A graceful woman stood in the room, and immediately turned around when she heard the sound, it was an extremely beautiful and moving face, her skin was as white as condensed fat, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were as graceful and affectionate as autumn water, and a tear mole hidden in the corner of her eyes added a kind of beauty from the past to the present.

Bai Moyin slowly closed the door, and when she looked up, the woman immediately showed a rippling smile and called in a low voice: "Mo Yin......"
