On this day, Ye Xun changed his indifference from the past and kept hanging in front of the emperor. The emperor, who was reviewing the folds, was a little curious, and looked up at him, "What?" Do you have something? ”

Ye Xun snorted, "Your Majesty, today is my father's sixtieth birthday. ”

"Oh, I'm going to send Xingwang a congratulatory gift."

"Your Majesty, Emperor. Minister... I want to go back and have a look......" Ye Xun met the emperor's questioning gaze with a little weakness, "The emperor can rest assured, the ministers will go back at night, just to see, and no one will find out." ”

The emperor pondered for a while, thinking that you didn't even give me a good face every day, you should really ask for a little more, but seeing his expectant eyes, he was a little unbearable, "Okay, just this once, not for example!" ”

Ye Xun was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly knelt on the ground to thank him, "Thank you Emperor Longen!" ”

Ye Xun hid in the bamboo in the corner of the courtyard, there was night and the cover of bamboo, and no one could find him. Through the open doors and windows, he could see the family eating in the dining room: his father looked at one place without a trace of expression on his face. The whole person looks much older; Ruolian is the busiest, while everyone drinks and eats, she also has to pay attention to her father, keep serving food to her father, and take care of the children from time to time; A few children couldn't sit still, and after eating a few bites of food, they played and shuttled through the dining room; There are also Xiaoxiao, Ruoxia and his wife, Mrs. Pan, Ruyu, Xiaohu and Tao'er, the family is neat, and only Ye Xun is missing. Looking at the happy and festive appearance of the family, Ye Xun couldn't help but have a relieved smile on his face, and then he was deeply sour......

After a while, Ruolian said to the people in the room with a smile on her face, "You drink first, and I'll go out to take a breath." Don't stop, don't get drunk today! After saying that, he walked out of the room with a little shaking. She held on to the railing in the hallway, her head bowed, her cheeks already crimson, and she had obviously drunk a lot. Suddenly, she raised her head, looked around looking for something, and shouted in her mouth, "Ye Xun! ”

Ye Xun was taken aback, was discovered by her? But looking around me and her performance, I knew I wasn't exposed. But how could she suddenly be like this?

Ruolian's tears flowed down her eyes, and she said into the air, "I know you're back." Because I can feel your breath. ”

Ye Xun's tears also welled up at once, and he covered his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from making a sound.

"With me at home, don't worry! You don't have to worry about it, I'll take care of the family. My father is not as energetic as he used to be, and most of the time he is alone in a daze, but there are no major physical problems. There are a few children who make trouble with him every day, and he is not lonely......" Ruolian couldn't go on anymore, and hid her face and sobbed.

Ye Xun also kept crying behind the bamboo, he tried to control himself not to make a sound, but his trembling body still accidentally made the bamboo leaves make a slight noise.

Wakaren jerked over there. Ye Xun hurriedly held his breath nervously. Ruolian looked in that direction affectionately with tears in her eyes, "You have to take good care of your body. I know you have a lot of things to do right now, but I'm sure you'll come back one day. My kids and my dad and I are waiting for that day......"

Ye Xun closed his eyes, and a large hot tear slid down. The two of them watched silently in the dark, silently weeping......

After a while, Ruoxia walked out, "Sister, why don't you go in?" Who did you just talk to? ”

Ruolian hurriedly wiped a handful of tears, "I didn't talk to anyone, I talked to myself." How did you get out? ”

Ruoxia looked at her, "Miss my brother-in-law, right?" ”

Ruolian dodged her gaze and shook her head, "Let's go inside, it's time for a headache when I drink wine and be blown by the wind." Ruolian took Ruoxia to the house, and before entering the house, she cast an affectionate glance in the direction of Ye Xun.

The injuries on Ye Xun's body will be painful all over his body when it rains and cloudy days, and many joints can't move. He would sweat profusely and die in pain. Therefore, whenever it rains, he will be restless, and as long as there is no errand, he will rush to his residence as soon as possible, decoct medicine for him, and take care of him.

On this day, there was a sudden thunderstorm, and in the blink of an eye, it began to rain heavily. Wendu hurried to Ye Xun's residence, but found that the person was not there. He looked around, but there was no one. He was a little flustered, stood where he was, thought about it, and hurriedly went to see the emperor. The emperor was a little displeased to see him so recklessly on a rainy day, "What's the matter?" Didn't you just come here in the afternoon? ”

"Your Majesty, Ye Xun is not at his residence." Wendu said eagerly.

"So what? Are you still worried that he won't be able to escape? ”

"Your Majesty, the injuries on Ye Xun's body, as soon as it rains and clouds, he is stiff and can't move, and it will be extremely painful."

The emperor was taken aback, "You go to the Jin family of the Blue Indigo Factory!" He's on a mission! ”

Wendu clenched his fists and took his life. Then he took a few people and galloped to the Blue Indigo Factory.

Finally arrived at Jin's house, Wen Dufei dismounted, eagerly looking for Ye Xun's whereabouts. The door of the Jin family was wide open, and there was no living mouth inside, and the corpses were everywhere. The two bodies in the courtyard were washed by the rain, and the surrounding water turned red. Wendu searched every corner of the Jin family, checked every corpse, and found Ye Xun. Wendu decided to look for it along the way, and as soon as he got out of the gate, Wendu heard the neighing of horses in the distance, so he searched for it. They found Ye Xun's black horse, in the grass not far from the horse, Ye Xun was curled up inside. He was very embarrassed at this time, his body, face, and hair were covered with water and mud, and his face was pale, and he held his sword and trembled uncontrollably. He saw Wen Du at a glance as if he was seeing a savior, a light flashed in his helpless eyes, and he fainted. Wen Du squatted down and put on a dress for him, and with the help of others, he put him on a horse, and galloped all the way to the palace.

When Ye Xun woke up, he was already lying on his bed. Medicine was simmering not far away, and the thick aroma of medicine permeated the entire room. Ye Xun felt very thirsty, looked at Wen Du who was sitting at the table and asleep with his cheeks on his back, and didn't want to disturb him, so he slowly got up and went down to the ground and poured himself a cup of tea.

Wendu woke up when he heard a sound, "Are you awake?" Why don't you call me when you're thirsty? ”

"I'm fine." Ye Xun said expressionlessly.

"You scared the hell out of me last night."

"Thank you."

"What's polite to me? I still have an errand, so I'll come and see you when I have time. Take care of yourself. I drank the medicine after a while. ”

Ye Xun nodded.

In the middle of the afternoon, Wendu came again, he sat down and took a sip of tea and said, "I have an errand to do, and it is impossible for me to be by your side every day." In order to prevent this from happening again, I helped you find a very clever boy and let him take care of you by your side. ”

"I don't. I'll keep an eye out for it later. Ye Xun said coldly.

"This boy pesters me every day to be a brocade guard, but he is too young. He has a bit of kung fu in him, he is mainly smart and clever, and his personality is very likable. ”

"I said, I don't need to!" Ye Xun said stubbornly.

"He was an orphan, and all his family was dead. Very young, he was alone on the streets. If you don't want him here, he will have to go back to the street and live a precarious life. Seeing a hint of compassion flashing in Ye Xun's eyes, he shouted to the door, "Xiao Jiu, come in." ”

Then came a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with a smile on his face, this boy was very handsome, with a pair of bright eyes, and his eyes were very cute when he smiled. "Lord Shen, this is my master. Master, my name is Miao Xiaojiu, please accept Xiao Jiu's worship! ”

Ye Xun was startled, turned his face and asked Xiang Wendu, "You taught him?" ”

Wen Du couldn't hold back a smile, "No! This kid is okay! Come up and recognize Master. Do you know that Bai Daxia never accepts apprentices. Whether you can become his apprentice or not depends on your creation. ”

Ye Xun glanced at Wen Du, and then said to the boy kneeling on the ground, "Your name is Xiao Jiu, right?" Hurry up. Master doesn't just call it. Besides, I can't teach you anything right now. ”

Xiao Jiu stood up with a grin, "It's okay, Master." I will do my best to take care of you in the future. ”

"I... I don't usually have to be taken care of by others. Also, don't call me Master, you can call me 'brother' or my name. ”

"How?" Xiao Jiu said with a smile, and began to help him clean up the house with his hands and feet.

Wen Du stopped Ye Xun, who was still talking, "Don't be serious." He can call it whatever he likes. ”

Xiao Jiu's care for Ye Xun can be described as meticulous. Dressing, eating, drinking, decoction and healing are no small things. At first, Ye Xun didn't want Xiao Jiu to call him master. He corrected every time. But Xiao Jiu was still smiling, Master Master had to keep calling, and then Ye Xun didn't bother to correct him, he could call him whatever he liked. In the end, it was tacit. Ever since Xiao Jiu came to him, a smile began to appear on Ye Xun's cold face. Xiao Jiu loves to laugh and is particularly infectious. Ye Xun felt dry when he saw him laughing, and a ray of sunshine shone in his cold heart.

"Master, you are so good-looking, why do you have to wear a mask every time you go out?" Xiao Jiu looked at Ye Xun with bright eyes, looking very sincere.

"Good-looking? Do I still have a good scar on my face? ”

"It's nice to have a scar, the scar on your face is not obvious. I have never seen a man as bright and handsome as Master. ”

Ye Xun lowered his head and smiled, "What about Lord Shen than you?" ”

Xiao Jiu looked at the door, and then said mysteriously, "You are much better looking than Lord Shen." ”

Ye Xun raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Really? You kid has a future! ”

"Then we'll go out without masks in the future. I'll put it away for you. Xiao Jiu held the mask in his hand and looked at it.

Ye Xun's smile froze suddenly, it turned out that this child thought that he was ashamed to wear a mask because of the scar on his face. also persuaded himself so hard, "Xiao Jiu, don't accept the mask." Give it back. ”

Xiao Jiu seemed to notice the change in Ye Xun's expression, and he saw a trace of pain and sadness in Ye Xun's fixed eyes. He carefully handed the mask to Ye Xun, "Master, what's wrong with you?" ”

Ye Xun was silent for a while, "Xiao Jiu, I didn't go out to bring a mask because of the scar on my face. Didn't you Lord Shen tell you? I'm because ...... You can't reveal your identity, so you have to bring it. I don't actually have a surname, I have a family, a father, a wife and children, and they are in the capital, only a stone's throw away from me. But I have a home and can't go back! Trapped in this place all day long, living a life where no one is a ghost, no ghost is not a ghost, and there is no light! Ye Xun turned his face to see Xiao Jiu, who opened his mouth wide in shock, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's just that you're suffering, at a young age, you have to be locked up here with me." ”

"Master, I'm not bitter! I have no relatives since I was a child, and now Master is my dearest relative. I am content to be able to stay by Master's side. Xiao Jiu's eyes flashed with tears, and when he saw Ye Xun looking at him, he smiled again, "Master, in fact, this mask is also very good-looking, and you also look good with it." ”

Ye Xun smiled, feeling that this child was so sensible that he felt distressed.
