Han Ling waited for Xu Shuxuan in the carriage for a long time before he returned, then he opened the curtain of the carriage and looked in the direction where they were, and saw two long and jade figures standing on the slope of the maple forest, the fallen leaves flying around them in the wind, the two seemed to be able to talk very well, their expressions were calm, and they occasionally looked at each other and smiled.

When Xu Shuxuan turned around and came back, Han Ling quickly lowered the curtain and sat in the car.

Xu Shuxuan opened the curtain of the green curtain, and what he saw was her hands clasped in front of her knees, her eyelashes slightly drooping, and she couldn't help but smile again, he stepped onto the carriage, turned around elegantly, and sat beside her.

"What did you just say to Lu Gongzi? I see you're having a good time. Han Ling couldn't help but ask.

Xu Shuxuan took her hands over, took advantage of the situation and hugged her whole delicate body into his arms, habitually covered her smooth forehead with a kiss, and then replied: "I asked Lu Gongzi for a favor, and it happened that he and I coincided in this matter, so we agreed to it, and we can be regarded as happy cooperation!" ”

Han Ling was deeply skeptical, not to mention that Lu Yanzhao and he also had a hatred for taking his wife, as far as the Jiang family case between Lu Bing and Shu Xuan was concerned, it seemed that Lu Yanzhao would not be able to become friends with him.

Lu Yanzhao's character is not bad, and he can be called a righteous gentleman, but it seems a little impossible for him to kill his relatives in righteousness.

So, Han Ling asked curiously, "Then what did you ask him to help with?" ”

Xu Shuxuan pursed his lips, smiled without answering, and mysteriously changed the topic: "Let's not talk about other things today, I will take you to a place with beautiful scenery, your body is a little cold, the climate there is pleasant, it should be good for your body." ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't ask her if she really wanted to go, so he gave an order to the coachman: "Wushuang, take us to Taoyuan Valley north of the moat!" ”

Taoyuan Valley?

Almost as soon as he heard this name, Han Ling was surprised, and looked at Xu Shuxuan with wide dark and pure eyes.

"What? Have you heard of this place too? Xu Shuxuan asked with a smile.

Of course, Han Ling will not forget this place, in her previous life, she was depressed after Xu Shuxuan's death, and she also had the old problem of cold disease, and it was not good for a long time after the onset of typhoid fever, and the master also took her to this place to cultivate, and she raised it for half a year, during this period, she learned the calligraphy of piano and chess, the formation of troops and astrological academic chats with the master to pass the time, and then the master said that he was going to travel far away and left alone, since then, she has never seen the man with the crane hair and childish face, and she has also come to Taoyuan Valley many times to look for it, But that person seemed to have disappeared from the world without a trace.

Could it be that Shu Xuan also wanted to take her to Taoyuan Valley to find a master today? But how did he know that the master would be in Taoyuan Valley?

"Ah Ling, I still remember the day of the Duanyang Festival, you also came to this place to look for me, but unfortunately I didn't take you into the real Taoyuan Valley that day, but if you can find me, you should also know this place, did it also appear in your dream?" Xu Shuxuan asked.

Han Ling nodded and asked rhetorically, "Then how did you find this place?" ”

"I ......" Xu Shuxuan paused for a moment, looked at her and smiled, "You may not think that this man with crane hair and childish face can also be regarded as my master, and the academic and Qimen Dunjia skills I know are also taught by him, but I have only met him once, and that time, he saved my life and healed my foot injury in seven days." ”

"Could he be the one you said you said to be the one who rescued you from the ice and got you up and bones?" Han Ling thought of the assassination he had told her about when he was eight years old, when Shu Xuan was only eight years old, and he didn't know who had done such a thing to him, and he still didn't know who was the murderer who cut the veins of his heels that day.

His mother died early, his father was not around, and finally he witnessed his only sister die in the hairline, he almost died at the hands of assassins, and fell into the ice river and fell into the root of the disease, Han Ling thought of this, he only felt a faint pain in his heart, and tightened his arms, so that his soft body was tightly pressed against his chest, and his right ear was right next to his chest, and his rhythmic and powerful heartbeat could be clearly heard.

At this time, Xu Shuxuan's voice sounded above his head again: "On the day of the Duanyang Festival, the person I met when I came to Taoyuan Valley was also him, and it was he who handed over that important piece of evidence to me. ”

When Han Ling heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and looked at Xu Shuxuan blankly for a long time, his small cherry lips were slightly pursed, but he still couldn't say a word-did Yun Niang actually give such important evidence to the master for safekeeping? In other words, the master also knew about his grandfather's imprisonment seven years ago, but why didn't he come to his mother and her? Is it really possible that he is his own father?

Han Ling opened the curtain of the carriage to look at the scenery outside, and found that the carriage had reached the moat so quickly, if it went further north, passing through that sycamore forest, it would probably not be far from Taoyuan Valley, but at this moment, Han Ling was a little afraid to see that person, she was afraid that the master would not give her the answer she wanted, and she was even afraid that all this was just her own imagination.

She would rather keep her master in awe and love forever than speculate on the reasons why he abandoned their mother and daughter, and she didn't want to associate him with a ruthless and indifferent person.

As if having made up his mind, Han Ling put down the curtain and said firmly: "Shu Xuan, let's go back!" I don't want to go! ”

Xu Shuxuan seemed to see her thoughts, hugged her tightly and warmed her hands, and said comfortingly: "Ah Ling, you believe me, the master is by no means a person who has been abandoned from the beginning, if we don't find out and ask to understand, we will never know what happened after the master rescued your mother fifteen years ago?" ”

And it happened that the year he met his master was also the year when her mother suffered this accident after the Jiang family was wiped out.

Han Ling's heart was in a mess, and under Xu Shuxuan's persuasion, he finally compromised and agreed.

The autumn wind is blowing, the sycamore leaves that have become golden are blown rustling, the carriage runs over a small and brisk sound in the forest covered with fallen leaves, time flows between the fingers little by little like fine sand, and I don't know how long it has been, the carriage finally stopped, Xu Shuxuan lifted the curtain again, and there was a large area of large and small bubbling spring pools in front of him, it stands to reason that this should be a small canyon, and it is late autumn, but the scenery here is like the recovery of all things, spring flowers blooming, All kinds of unknown wildflowers are all over the mountains, and the spring pond is still steaming with mist, and the entire Taoyuan Valley seems to be left in the world.

Under the traction of Xu Shuxuan, Han Ling walked through one stone pier after another in the pool, and came to this peach blossom-covered valley, there is a bamboo house in the valley, there is a round stone table in front of the bamboo house, two huge old locust trees, everything is still the same as the previous life in his memory, has not changed, the master usually likes to sit at this stone table and play the piano.

When Xu Shuxuan was about to push open the door of the bamboo house, Han Ling grabbed his hand a little nervously, and after the two looked at each other for a moment, with Xu Shuxuan's encouragement, the bamboo door of the room creaked open, but after entering, there was nothing in it except a bed, a table and a chair, there were no cobwebs or thick dust in the room, it was quite neat, even the bedding was folded, but there were several arrows stuck in the wall, and there were clumps of crimson blood stains on the ground.

When Han Ling saw the blood stains on the ground, his face changed greatly: "Master must have lived here not long ago, but what happened, there are still traces of a fight here, is this blood left by the master?" Does someone want to kill the master? ”

Xu Shuxuan stopped her words and said, "Don't make this conclusion yet, maybe someone else stayed." ”

After looking at the entire bamboo house for a week, Xu Shuxuan's brows were also tightened, as if he had found something, his eyes were sharply bright, and he led Han Ling to a very simple bamboo bed, Xu Shuxuan squatted down and picked up a finger-sized piece of bamboo from under the bed, on which a clear "stone" character could be seen, and the other word was cut in half, but it was not difficult to guess that it was a continent character.

"The master usually writes in bamboo slips, but he is not used to using hall paper." Han Ling explained, suddenly thought of something, and went to turn over a round button under the bed, sure enough, just like in the previous life, as soon as the button fell, a dark grid popped out, which was full of books written in bamboo slips, Han Ling took out these books again, most of them were the art of war, strategy and astrological divination and medical books, yes, this is the things that the master taught her in her previous life.

Xu Shuxuan looked at the various books written by these bamboo slips, and couldn't help but shrink his pupils in his heart, and when he turned to one of the Mojia tricks, he stared at it in horror and was speechless.

Han Ling smiled and said, "Shu Xuan, the Mojia Technique I gave you seven years ago was also copied by my master, but my copy is definitely not as complete as the master's compilation." ”

Seeing Xu Shuxuan staring intently at the full grid of books and being silent for a long time, Han Ling asked puzzledly, "What's wrong?" ”

Xu Shuxuan shook his head, and only sighed lightly: "I always feel that the master really doesn't look like a mortal person, we don't know how old he is, and we don't know where he came from, but he has so many skills, and every skill is very proficient, some people can't learn one-tenth of what they have learned in their lives, and ...... The last time I saw him, I noticed that his face had not changed at all......"

Han Ling also felt very unbelievable when she heard him say this, but she never believed in the strange stories of gods and ghosts in the world, so she smiled and said, "Maybe the master doesn't want people to know about his past, so it feels too mysterious." ”

Xu Shuxuan thinks about it, he also respects people like his master very much, no matter what kind of past he has, the kind of indelible temperament exuded from the inside out is unforgettable, if it is not a person with great wisdom and high character, it is difficult to cultivate such a bearing.

"Ah Ling, I'm really sorry, I originally wanted to surprise you, but in the end I disappointed you."

Han Ling shook his head again and again, stroked his eyebrows, and said softly, "No! If you hadn't brought me here, I thought that the master in my dream didn't exist, but now we see the books and bamboo houses he left behind, which means that he really lives in this world, and as long as he is still in this world, I believe that he can still meet him in the future. ”

"Shu Xuan, I know that you brought me here to make me happy, and now I feel a lot of relief in my heart, let's go back quickly!"

Can she really let go? I was afraid that a few pools of blood stains in this bamboo house would leave a shadow in her heart again, Xu Shuxuan knew that she didn't want to worry about herself, so she nodded with a smile and took her hand and left the bamboo house.

Wushuang, the coachman who drove the carriage, was actually one of his hidden guards, and on the way back, Xu Shuxuan ordered: "In the future, you will be responsible for the safety of Mrs. Shizi!" ”

Wushuang Dao Yes, raised his head and saluted Han Ling, and Han Ling also remembered this mediocre face with surprisingly cold eyes.

When the two returned to the Wei Mansion, they saw that Qin's mother ordered someone to pull carts of heavy items into the mansion, and after asking, they learned that most of them were purchased rice grain, as well as silver charcoal used in winter, and some cloth and mink skins used to cut winter clothes.

Although it is said that the weather is about to enter a harsh winter, according to the previous regulations, the eldest princess has never started hoarding food and buying winter clothes so early, and although the eldest princess loves face, she is not generous enough to use her own dowry to buy a large amount of these.

All this seemed very strange to Xu Shuxuan, and after returning to Tingyu Tower with Han Ling, he guessed suspiciously.

"According to what I said, most of the eldest princess's dowry has been spent on building temples and incense over the years, she is not good at business at all, she is sitting on empty food, and now all that is left is a few temples and fertile land rewarded by the emperor, and now there is so much money to buy grain and silver charcoal at a high price, I don't know what news she has learned, and she is willing to spend such blood to do this kind of loss-making business."

After Han Ling listened to Xu Shuxuan's words, he felt more and more that something was wrong, and went to see Han Xuan who was still lying on the bed, Mama Yu was ordering someone to feed her medicine, and when she saw Han Ling, she replied: "After taking a few doses of medicine, her complexion is much better, but she spends most of her time sleeping, and she will keep crying at the beginning, and now she doesn't even seem to want to cry anymore, miss, I see that this girl has become like this, and I don't want to live anymore." ”

Han Ling glanced at Han Xuan from outside the door, and still couldn't bear it, so she asked Mama Yu to give her the best food and clothing, and sent two careful girls to take care of her, so as not to let anyone outside the building take advantage of the rain.

Qiao'er said, today the eldest princess also sent a few girls over to send mink cloth for cutting winter clothes to the prince and the prince's wife, but they were all driven out by Chunlian, but the mink still stayed.

Qiao'er showed the mink skins to Han Ling, and after Han Ling only stroked the white down feathers, he asked Mama Yu to help put them away.

"Just put it here, and don't take it out again." Han Ling said.

When he went to bed at night, Han Ling hugged Xu Shuxuan's waist tightly, buried his head in his chest, and rubbed his skin with his calves until his whole body warmed up.

"Shu Xuan, it must have been very cold when you fell into the glacier that winter, right?" She suddenly whispered, her eyes were shining, and she just wanted to use her body temperature to warm his heart.

Xu Shuxuan also hugged her very tightly, and covered her with a thick quilt.

"How can you be afraid of the cold, you are weak and afraid of the cold, and you must pay more attention to keeping warm in the future." He said, holding her cheek and kissing her carefully.

Han Ling snorted, and then said, "The two snow beaver skins that the eldest princess sent today are sprinkled with the pollen of the bloody cuckoo, Shu Xuan, have you also worn the clothes that the eldest princess made for you before?" ”

"Bloody cuckoo?" Xu Shuxuan was slightly surprised, he looked at Han Ling's eyes and was silent for a long time before shaking his head and said, "No, most of my clothes are made by my sister herself, she cut clothes for me from eight to twenty years old before she got married, there are a total of twenty-four pieces, although I can't wear them now, but I didn't accept the clothes sent by the eldest princess." ”

After a pause, he added, "Most of my current clothes were made for me by the servants left behind by my mother!" ”

"Your mother's servant?"

"Yes, I'll take you to them when I have time."

Han Ling said hello, and suddenly hummed his lips again. "I ...... I don't seem to be very good at making clothes......"

Seeing the look of embarrassment in her dark and disgusted eyes, Xu Shuxuan smiled and said: "It's okay, I didn't marry you to let you help me make clothes, as long as you can always be by my side, I feel satisfied!" (To be continued.) )
