Chapter 167: I'm Your Uncle
"There is a clue to Liujiazhuang!"
After calming down the stimulus after seeing the note a little, Chen Lianyue unfolded the note so that Murong Bai could see it.
"This was handed to me by the old man just now, what do you think?"
"If you want to know the secret of Liujiazhuang's tragic destruction, please go to the firewood room to get together."
Murong Bai looked down, and there were less than twenty words written on the note, and there was a very simple map underneath, marking the location of the firewood house.
"Do you think this can be true, could there be some conspiracy?"
Seeing that Murong Bai had finished reading the note, Chen Lianyue carefully put the note away so as not to be discovered.
Looking up at the banquet hall, many of the seats were empty and people had not yet arrived. They were also pulled in early because of Yang Li's overexcitement.
Murong Bai thought for a moment and nodded.
"It's still early, I'll accompany you on a trip, this is the City Lord's Mansion, it's the Yuwen family, I don't think there should be any danger, but we also have to be careful, we can't attract the attention of the City Lord's Mansion."
Turning around and Li Hailong whispered a few words, and asked him to take care of Chen Tianmeng, Murong Bai turned around and touched Chen Tianmeng's head, "Obediently sit and eat here with Grandpa Li, we will be back soon." ”
"Okay."
Looking up at Chen Lianyue, Chen Tianmeng nodded towards Murong Bai.
"Let's go, be natural, go back quickly."
Gently pulling Chen Lianyue's arm, Murong Bai helped her and the two of them seemed to be walking around to see the scenery, and quietly flashed into the backyard of the City Lord's Mansion. Walk towards the firewood house shown on the picture.
The city lord's mansion is indeed built with unique ingenuity, and the building style integrates the characteristics of the north and south, and it is not exactly a Jiangnan water town-style building.
Carefully avoiding a few waves of guests who were also enjoying the scenery in the back garden, Chen Lianyue and Murong Bai had no choice but to use their Yuan Force and quickly ran towards the firewood room from the roof. Of course, they had to be careful not to attract the attention of the City Lord's Mansion guards.
In the shortest possible time, I came to a secluded place in the backyard of the city lord's mansion, and there was a firewood house in front of it.
Chen Lianyue stood on the roof and looked around cautiously, probably because today was the annual night banquet, and all the manpower had been transferred to the front to receive guests, so there were almost no people in this backyard.
He nodded towards Murong Bai. Chen Lianyue flew off the roof with him. The two of them secretly came to the firewood room on guard, and Murong Bai gently pushed open the wooden door of the firewood room.
With a soft 'squeak' sound, the door was pushed open, and a candle lit up in the firewood room.
"You're here. Come on in. There is no one else here. It's just the old man and I. ”
A deep male voice came out, and it was the old man who had brought the fruit before.
Chen Lianyue and Murong Bai glanced at each other, and the two of them raised their legs and walked into the firewood room.
"It's a secret. It's better to close the door. ”
The two had just walked into the firewood room, and Uncle Cheng, who was sitting at a wooden table, spoke again.
Chen Lianyue looked up at Murong Bai, who nodded at her, and Chen Lianyue turned around and closed the wooden door.
After doing these actions, Chen Lianyue had time to take a look at the old man and the environment here.
Sure enough, there was a large firewood room here, but a wooden table was placed near the woodpile inside, and the old man sat behind the table and watched the two of them.
Since only one candle was lit, the light was not very bright, but fortunately, Chen Lianyue and Murong Bai were both Heaven Rank masters, and this bit of darkness did not affect the vision at all.
"Who are you, what brought us here? You say you know the secret of Liujiazhuang's extinction, is it true? ”
Walking towards the old man first, Chen Lianyue had a stomach full of questions to answer at this time.
"Hehe, you're as anxious as your mother. Come, you sit down first, let's talk about anything slowly, don't worry, it won't delay your participation in the night banquet. ”
Smiling, the old man raised his hand and pointed to the chair, motioning for the two to sit down, and then picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
"Drink some tea, don't worry, it's not poisonous."
After speaking, the old man picked up his teacup and took a sip.
"Who are you, please tell me."
Holding Chen Lianyue's hand and sitting down together, Murong Bai signaled her not to worry.
"Hehe, Murong Bai, the lord of the Underworld Domain, is it, the young man is good, and he deserves to be merciful."
Looking at Murong Bai and smiling, the old man put down the teacup and looked at Chen Lianyue again.
"I am now the steward of Yu Wenhong, the eldest prince of the City Lord's Mansion, and everyone calls me Uncle Cheng."
"Now? So who were you before? ”
Looking at the ordinary looking old man in front of her, Chen Lianyue was not confused, but immediately grasped the point.
"My former name was Liu Minshan, and I was the eldest young master of Liujiazhuang, the elder brother of your mother Liu Chunxue, and your uncle."
Looking at Chen Lianyue, Uncle Cheng said slowly but firmly with a faint smile on his face.
"What, you're the eldest uncle? This is impossible, I remember that the eldest uncle has already died on the battlefield, how can you be the eldest uncle. ”
Standing up in shock, Chen Lianyue carefully searched for her memory, and indeed remembered what Liu Chunxue said to everyone before she died.
"That's what your mother said, right? It seems that Cher didn't forget to protect me in the end. ”
Sighing slightly, Uncle Cheng raised his hand and motioned for Chen Lianyue to sit down and speak.
"Since I was a child, I have liked the Jin Ge Iron Horse on the battlefield, and I like the blood of men to protect their families and defend the country, so I rarely stay in Liujiazhuang, after I was sixteen years old, I joined the army and fought with the army everywhere, and I had less time to return to Liujiazhuang."
"I remember the last time I saw you, it was nearly sixteen years ago, when you were five years old and you were tested to have zero talent."
Looking at Chen Lianyue, who has grown up now and has become a mother, Uncle Cheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
"Later, my army was ordered to garrison the border, and when I received a message from my father that I should not return to Liujiazhuang in the near future, I was very strange. Just as the border was unstable and there were constant small frictions, I didn't have time to pay attention to this matter, and it wasn't until I received information soon after I learned that Liujiazhuang had been slaughtered overnight that I realized that something was wrong. ”
"When I hurried back to Liujiazhuang, Liujiazhuang was already a scorched ruin. I found the message left by my father in the small cave in the back mountain where I liked to play and hide things when I was a child, and then I knew the reason for the tragedy of Liujiazhuang's destruction. ”
"What is the reason, what is the reason for such a tragedy?"
Looking at Uncle Cheng excitedly, Chen Lianyue asked a little anxiously.
"Do you really want to know? If you know, you have to take on the responsibility of the descendants of the Liu family, do you really understand? ”
Looking straight at Chen Lianyue, Uncle Cheng had a strange smile on his face. (To be continued.) )
