The Jin family lives at the foot of Cuiyan Mountain, which is very remote and not adjacent to other families in the village, which is also because when the family was separated, the father had to give up his homestead to the third uncle's family.

The Cuiyan Mountain is connected to the White Tiger Mountain, because the mountain is steep, the trees are luxuriant, there are many fierce beasts, and there have been white tigers infested, the people in the village have given the name of the White Tiger Mountain.

"Don't talk nonsense, the beasts are in the deep mountains, and they won't run out easily, eighty percent of people wake up, and they go home by themselves, and they're tired of a day, so go back and rest early." Instructed Yinwen to bring a basin of hot water to wipe the inside of the carriage clean, and Yingle walked quickly back to the bedroom to rest.

At the same time, in the ancestral mansion of the Duke of Qi in Qingchengzhou, Nangong Jia, who was meditating under the lamp, was interrupted by the sound outside the study, "Third Young Master, Young Master Xiao is back and is waiting for you in the living room." The little servant stood outside and bowed back, not daring to enter the study at will to disturb.

"Tell the girl to serve carefully, and I'll go over to see Brother Yu." Nangong Jia put down the scroll, opened the door of the room with a whole set of clothes, and strode in the direction of the living room.

"Brother Yu, what's wrong, why is your complexion so bad?" Xiaoyu had already changed her clothes at this time, and she didn't see the embarrassed appearance covered with blood before, but the pale face caused by excessive blood loss could not completely hide the past.

At this time, seeing Nangong Jia's uneasy tone, his face was worried, and he hurriedly got up and said, "The third prince doesn't have to worry, Xiao is fine, but there are a few minor injuries." ”

The conspiracy and calculation of those chickens and dogs in his father's backyard, Xiaoyu didn't want to easily say it to annoy his brother, this time he followed Nangong Jia back to Qingchengzhou, and he was chasing the clues of the murderer who assassinated his mother.

"Why should you be polite between you and me, call me Brother Nangong, and the third prince is called to outsiders."

Hehe, he, the third young master, has always been suppressed by his mother's eldest brother, and he doesn't have much sense of existence in the entire Qi State Mansion, although his father has been concerned about his dead aunt, but the man's nature of liking the new and hating the old, coupled with the eldest lady's intention to obstruct it, the Duke of Qi Guo doesn't care about this mediocre third son for a long time.

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and you don't want to say more, so the eldest brother won't ask more, seeing that you are clearly injured in this way, I will order the little servant to invite a doctor to come."

Nangong Jia turned around to leave, but was pulled by Xiaoyu, "No need, big brother, the wound has been treated, the bleeding has stopped, there will be no big problem." ”

As for his private speculation that the robber was related to his father's concubine Fu, Xiaoyu didn't say a word, the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and he had no definite evidence.

"You, you have been like this since you were a child, and you always swallow it silently when you are wronged," Nangong Jia reluctantly patted his brother's hand and sat back in place, "When I return to Beijing another day, I will go to the house to visit my aunt." ”

Xiaoyu's father used to be the general of the Duke of Qi, and later got the grace to go out of the house and set up a household, but now he is just hanging on the false position of the five-grade Xuanwu general, and the military merits have not earned much back, and the concubine and wife have been done ten out of ten.

Hearing Nangong Jia say this, Xiao Yu was grateful, knowing that he was trying to save face for his mother, "Big brother has a heart, and with me, I won't let anyone hurt my mother one day." "The third prince's life in the Guogong Mansion is not easy, otherwise he would not be excluded from leaving Beijing and returning to the ancestral house of Qingchengzhou to live a dull life.

"Now that the situation is becoming more and more chaotic, it is also good for the eldest brother to rein in his edge and avoid the whirlpool in Beijing, and when the situation is clearer in the future, he will return to Kyoto, and there may be a new situation at that time."

Previously, Nangong Jia asked him to draw a strategic map of Qingchengzhou and Wanghaizhou, Xiaoyu had some guesses in his heart, and at this time, he said something tentative in it.

Nangong Jia smiled loudly when he heard this, "Don't hide it from Brother Yu, the eldest brother also has this plan, the Nangong clan has been fighting for the Darong Dynasty for generations, guarding the frontier, and establishing the world with military merits." Now the situation is becoming more and more turbulent and turbulent, Emperor Rongli is lustful and mediocre, the eldest brother is only afraid that the Bai Di clan will not be settled, and the border war will start, and then my father and brother will have to put on armor and go into battle, and I am no exception. ”

"That's why the eldest brother ordered me to draw a topographic map of the two nearby continents in advance?" Recently, he has almost secretly visited the large and small counties, towns and villages in Qingchengzhou, and he knows the terrain of all places by heart, and it is not difficult to put it on paper.

Only the Baihu Mountain near Luhe Village is undulating, the mountain is majestic and straight, stretches endlessly, traverses many nearby villages, it is rumored that there are countless dangerous peaks and cliffs inside, the mountain stream is rushing, and there are fierce beasts from time to time, what is the other side of the mountain, no one dares to cross the past to explore.

Today Xiao Yu personally rushed to the White Tiger Mountain to find out, he relied on his martial arts, over the mountains and mountains as if walking on the ground, and continued to go deep into the White Tiger Mountain to explore, after turning over one dangerous peak after another, his ears faintly heard the sound of waves crashing against the cliff, Xiao Yu was happy, and was planning to continue to move forward to see if the other side of the mountain was the sea.

Unfortunately, it was late at that time, looking at the mountains that were still vast and boundless in front of her, Xiaoyu decided to return temporarily, but when she returned home, she encountered bandits who blocked the road and intercepted them.

"Brother Yu has never forgotten, no one is more suitable than you in drawing a map, turmoil is coming, this chaos may not only be in the frontier, big brother is just taking precautions, do you understand my painstaking efforts?"

Qingchengzhou is the ancestral home of the Nangong family, and it is the fief that His Majesty rewarded to the Duke of Qi, if there is really anything wrong in the future, this is the most solid retreat and backing of the Nangong family, and his father took advantage of the hand of the eldest lady to drive him back to his hometown, not necessarily without more considerations.

"Big brother is far-sighted, Xiaoyu admires it very much, the map will be drawn in a few days, you can rest assured, if you really want to fight in the future, you must take me with you."

If he marries his wife, he will hold it in the palm of his hand like a jewel in the future, instead of pampering his concubine like his father, which makes his mother heartbroken and tears dry.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Yu couldn't help but see an ugly face covered with a veil in front of him, the girl's eyes were gentle and calm, which made him unforgettable at first sight, but unfortunately even if he was veiled, he still couldn't cover the blue and black birthmark on his right face, if there was a way to get rid of that birthmark, what would the face under the veil look like, Xiao Yu couldn't help but be fascinated by it for a while.

"Brother Yu, Brother Yu," Nangong Jia called twice, Xiao Yu came back to his senses, and said apologetically: "Big brother, it's late at night, little brother won't bother, you rest early." ”

The wound that was stitched up behind her was faintly painful, thinking that Yingle would wear a needle and lead neatly to treat him, Xiaoyu couldn't help but secretly praise the little girl's superb medical skills, and she was able to study such a method of treating the wound, so as to completely avoid the wound from bursting and bleeding, and speed up the healing and recovery.

got up to send Xiaoyu away, Nangong Jia still instructed Xiaowu to invite a doctor who is good at trauma to send to Tingxiju, even if the wound has been treated, he still needs to drink some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving decoction, so as to ensure that the trauma recovers as soon as possible.

Xiaoyu just entered Tingxi Residence, and the big girl Lingyu hurriedly greeted her, "The son is back, the wound still hurts, the slave and maid stewed ginseng soup for you, drink some to warm up." ”
