Chapter 624: Uncle Shadow, a ghost

When Yan Xu came out of the house with Yue Qianqiu, remembering that he had just said the request, his mother was obviously shocked to the extreme, but after carefully looking at their master and apprentice for a while, he finally agreed to tell the emperor, and while he was relieved, he couldn't help but turn his head and stare at Yue Qianqiu.

"You kid has always been very worry-free, but this time you caused me so much trouble! No matter how busy I am, you can come to me directly for this kind of thing, and what's the matter with dealing with the aftermath by yourself? If you care, it's messy, look at how ...... you've stabbed in this basket."

Seeing Yue Qianqiu drooping his head, he didn't have the momentum of being in the past and not afraid of the sky, Yan Xu felt that his words were too heavy. Before Xiao Jingxian unveiled that layer of window paper to Yue Qianqiu today, even in the face of such a shocking secret, which is likely to be true, Yue Qianqiu almost did not show any flaws in front of others, and replaced it with someone else......

Hehe, nine times out of ten, after just knowing that it was adopted, he would not be able to hold his breath when he encountered a question about his life experience, even if he said that he didn't care on the surface, he would actually do his best to track it down, which was like Yue Qianqiu, and he didn't pay attention to the Northern Yan Emperor's overt or covert solicitation when he was in Beiyan!

Thinking of this, he turned around and walked over, and without saying a word, he dragged Yue Qianqiu forward shoulder to shoulder, and said in a low voice as he walked: "Tomorrow I will try to invite the emperor to come over and sit for you, and then you remember to behave well, let the emperor take a look at the spirit of the disciples of the Xuandao Hall, and then you can present the silk book to the emperor." As for my mother, I'll say hello first in the evening. ”

Speaking of this, Yan Xu said in an aggravated tone: "But your grandfather, you can't rely on others, you have to say it yourself." It's not that I scared you, even if Xiao Jingxian knew Cheng Qianqian's mother's line from his sister for a long time, he could still detect the clues from your clues, let alone your Uncle Ying? ”

Yue Qianqiu suddenly shook his head, and interrupted pitifully: "Master, don't scare me!" Didn't Uncle Ying go to Yangzhou with Du Bailou a few days earlier? ”

"Why did I scare you? Your Uncle Ying is a ghost, don't you know? He said to go to Yangzhou, how many days? He said that if you go for ten days and half a month, you will go for ten days and half a month? Don't believe it, if you go home now, he will probably sit in your dear house and wait for you to go back and explain the problem honestly! ”

Yan Xu used several rhetorical questions in one breath, and seeing that Yue Qianqiu was completely wilted, he smiled and patted his apprentice on the shoulder, who had always behaved more reliable than himself before. It's rare, he can also find the feeling of being a master!

And Yue Qianqiu, whose scalp was numb, didn't notice Yan Xu's lively thoughts this time, and when he was dizzy and said goodbye and went home, he thought that he and Zhou Jiyue had just run here from Xuandao Hall on two legs, so they had to borrow each other's mounts. And Zhou Jiyue, who was also attacked by two pieces of news at the eldest princess of Dongyang, also received a horse from the princess's mansion.

However, this time, the eldest princess of Dongyang directly lent the guards in the house, a total of sixteen people, and politely sent the two of them away - of course, they were sent back in two ways, one to the Yue family, and the other to the Wuying Pavilion.

And Yue Qianqiu's first sentence when he knocked on the door of his relatives was to ask impatiently: "Uncle Ying is not here with me, is he?" ”

At this time, when it was almost time, Wang Yiding was about to complain that Yue Qianqiu had only let the mount Snow White come back earlier, and he didn't even have a shadow, and he didn't carry a letter, if it wasn't for An Renqing's persuasion, the anxious fourth wife would almost have to find someone in the city, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned.

Immediately after, he replied a little stupidly: "Didn't Ying Ye go to Yangzhou?" I didn't hear I'm back! ”

This time, Yue Qianqiu was stunned. Immediately after, he scolded angrily and anxiously in a low voice: "Okay, Master, it turns out that you are playing me!" ”

Asked Ming Ping'an Princess had already taken Nuo Nuo to sleep first, Yue Qianqiu saw An Renqing after entering the inner courtyard, and saw that people hurriedly entered the main room to report, he knew that it was late, and he didn't go into the house to disturb, but he was very worried that when An Renqing came out for a while, he brought out the adoptive mother with a very elusive personality.

Fortunately, when An Renqing came out after a while, there was no one behind him: "The fourth wife said, next time I will post a note behind you of the ninth son, so that the people who see you will go to the house to report the news, so that you won't have to go home early and return home late." ”

Yue Qianqiu suddenly had to laugh dryly. In the past, when he was a bare-bones commander in the fourth room, he was indeed wild when he wanted to come back when he wanted to come back, and the old lady Yue had always been very relieved of him, and most of the time he had people with him, so it didn't matter if he returned at night, anyway, unless he sent a letter to the old lady Yue early, no matter how late it was, he would return.

But after having a sister, Nuno often complained that he returned late without saying a word, and now Princess Ping'an said it clearly. It seems that the next time he lets Snow White go home, he will at least have to let his clever horse carry a letter!

Knowing from An Renqing's mouth that Princess Ping'an had told him not to see her, and told him to go to bed early and talk again tomorrow morning, he nodded and instructed her and the others to go to rest and not need to leave anyone to serve him, so he walked to the east wing by himself.

He was glad as he walked, thanks to the fact that he had just mixed a supper in the eldest princess's mansion by giving Yan Xu food, he didn't have to go to the small kitchen to collect food at this time.

Because of the relationship between running on two legs for a long time, at this time he only felt as if his feet were filled with lead, and he just wanted to fall into bed and sleep. However, after entering the three-bay unpartitioned east wing from the bright courtyard with a tiled lamp, he felt that the room where only one candle was lit was very dim, but when he glanced at it casually, he froze.

Before entering the house, he didn't notice that there was anyone in the room, but at this moment, on the chair facing the door, wasn't there a person sitting like a ghost? He took a deep breath, and then said with a bitter face: "Uncle Ying, you are really a ghost!" Thanks to my audacity, I would have been scared to death by you! I also asked about the door, and they all said that you haven't come back yet! ”

"Just came back." Yue Ying replied lightly with three words, seeing that Yue Qianqiu seemed to be choked, with a stupid face, he looked at Yue Qianqiu and said word by word, "Du Bailou and I found out and killed Cheng Qianqian's mastermind behind the scenes...... It is likely to have something to do with King Jia. ”

Yue Qianqiu suddenly felt that one head and two were big. It's annoying enough just that Li Chongming, the son of King Jia, has a sense of presence here in Jinling City, but for the sake of King Jia's honesty in the fiefdom, of course he, an outsider, can't complain. But now, hehe, the king of Jia, who he and many people thought was at ease, was proved to be not at all at ease!

He calmed down and wanted to scold his mother, and naturally showed a trace of chagrin and incomprehension.

"Then Uncle Ying should hurry up and tell grandpa about this matter, and then report it to the emperor. You told me about this, aren't you afraid that I will leak the news? I didn't like that Li Chongming who pretended to be garlic, and Ying Xiaopang didn't hate that kid even more. In case I didn't hold back and showed a little bit of a tone to Ying Xiaopang, Ying Xiaopang would have to cause a big incident! ”

"The old lady has already entered the palace overnight." When Yue Ying said the news, he seemed very calm, as if it was just an insignificant matter, not a big thing that could shake the government and the opposition. Seeing that Yue Qianqiu was a little surprised, but it was more that it didn't matter to him, he slowly stood up, and as soon as his feet moved, the person suddenly appeared in front of Yue Qianqiu.

Over the past year or so, Yue Qianqiu has not been fast enough, but compared to the tall Zhou Sect Master, who is rarely seen among girls, he is still half a head shorter, and in front of Yue Ying, who can only be regarded as medium among adult men, at such a close distance, he still needs to look up slightly.

Although he can be regarded as Yue Ying grew up watching from a young age, he is still a little stunned in the face of those calm eyes at this time. This is not because of a weak heart or anything, it is purely because the man in front of him has accumulated a lot of power, and if he does not move, he will be like a god of death in the world.

Although almost the entire Cheng family was burned to the ground, the Yangzhou Mansion and Jiangdu County had also carefully cleaned up the ruins before, but there was still something missing. This time, Du Bailou and I went again, found out the drawings of the old house of the Cheng family in the past, focused on cleaning up a few areas, and found some more interesting things. ”

Yue Ying especially emphasized the five words "more interesting", and then said lightly: "I won't go into detail about the process, all in all, after that, Du Bailou and I went along the vine and found the cottage where Cheng Qianqian's biological mother used to live in the suburbs of Yangzhou, and after a poor search, I found a letter to you." ”

The words in front of him, Yue Qianqiu listened to them as gossip that had nothing to do with him, but when Yue Ying mentioned the letter, he only felt that the tail vertebrae exploded, and a cold breath arose. He was very glad that he couldn't help but pour out his heart to Zhou Jiyue tonight, and then he was persuaded by her to confide the truth to Yan Xu, otherwise if he suddenly heard the news when he was still hiding from everyone, he would definitely be angry!

He took a deep breath, and then said with a smile: "The letter to me, could it be that it is for Qianqiu by name?" ”

"That's right."

"Then Uncle Ying should have seen it? Then you must be able to memorize it, how about reciting two sentences to me? ”

Seeing Yue Qianqiu's calm and calm smile, Yue Ying was a little surprised, but still nodded and said, "That letter is in my arms, you have to see that I can give it to you now." ”

"No, I just want to hear Uncle Ying recite your first two sentences."

In the face of Yue Qianqiu's rare insistence, Yue Ying hesitated slightly, paid attention to the surrounding environment, and finally recited word by word: "Qianqiu, when I saw this letter, I wanted to come to you to know your life, but I didn't know your life experience. My name is Ding An, and I once served as the Empress Wenwu of Dayan as the Shang Palace, and kept the queen's seal ......"

"Stop, that's enough, that's enough!" Yue Qianqiu immediately stretched out his hand to stop Yue Ying, a sneering smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, but he took out a brown paper bag from his arms and shook it directly in front of Yue Ying, "Uncle Ying, if I guess correctly, the letter you read should be exactly the same as the thing I have now, don't you believe it?" ”

Yue Ying immediately stretched out his hand to take it, and when he unwrapped the paper bag and unfolded the yellowed silk book in it, he glanced at it generally, as if the face of the ancient glacier had already moved. He glanced at Yue Qianqiu, who was full of indignation, and finally asked in a deep voice, "Where did you come from?" ”

"Someone gave it." Yue Qianqiu shrugged his shoulders and laughed, "And it's hidden in a bracelet." The bracelet was very well made, and the material of this silk book was very good, so light and thin that it could be hidden in such a small groove, and it looked like it was still many years old. It's a pity that just as Ji Yue said, I cared about it, and I actually destroyed the corpse and threw the bracelet into pieces, but someone found clues. Fortunately, I didn't throw this silk book away, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River! ”

If this is not an important person, it will definitely feel foggy, but Yue Ying will understand it as soon as he hears it. He didn't ask Cheng Qianqian how she gave you the bracelet, and who found the clues, but solemnly put the silk book back into the paper bag and put it into his arms, and then looked at Yue Qianqiu and said, "Can you still run?" ”

Yue Qianqiu was a little stunned for a moment, but he still replied stupidly with the inertia of his thinking: "Today, I ran from the Jin Palace's Mansion to the Xuandao Hall, and then from the Xuandao Hall to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and now my legs are sore, and I can't run." ”

Yue Ying heard these words in his ears, and instinctively remembered Yue Qianqiu's serious childish words when he was a child, and suddenly chuckled, followed by a few simple words: "Then come up, I'll carry you!" ”

When he wanted to be powerless, Yue Qianqiu once lay on the back of Yan Xu or Yue Ying, and tasted the joy of flying eaves and walls, or the happiness of flying into the sky, and when he became a little successful in martial arts and grew up, he was no longer willing to let the elders run around, and the tools were not enough, so at this time, it was the first time in the past three years that he was carried by Yue Ying.

He is far taller and taller, but Yue Ying's figure is the same as six years ago, so lying on someone's back, Yue Qianqiu is really a little embarrassed - I knew that Yue Ying's "can you run" is what it means, even if he is stiff and stiff, he will say that he can still walk, when he just came out of the house, he was very worried about being seen, and he was even more worried about being seen and telling Princess Ping'an!

If she knew, she would have thought that something was wrong with her, she couldn't even walk, and she had to be carried on her back!

However, he had to admit that even with one of them on his back, Yue Ying's speed was much faster than when he was at full speed. Especially when walking on the kind of wall that only allows one person to pass, the kind of calmness that does not look at the feet makes him want to can't help but applaud. It's just that he was a little tired after all, and after the initial sense of nostalgia and excitement, he unconsciously dozed off in the bumps.

I don't know how long it took, but he suddenly heard a soft call: "Qianqiu, Qianqiu?" ”

When he woke up suddenly, he looked around, only to find that he was still lying on Yue Ying's back, but the two of them were in a wilderness at this moment. As far as the eye can see, there are countless jumble of wooden signs, new or old or rotten, and in some places you can still see small mounds of earth, in other places it is completely indistinguishable, overgrown with weeds, and even a few tenacious small trees.

Shaking his head, it was easy to figure out what was going on, and he asked a little dazedly, "Uncle Ying, where is this?" Did you take me to some mass grave? ”

"It's not a mass grave here, after all, you can dig a mound of earth to bury people, and you can erect a sign, instead of a broken reed mat just wrapped and thrown there." Speaking of this, Yue Ying said lightly, "Originally, Ding An should have been buried here." ”

Yue Qianqiu's only remaining sleepiness was washed away by these words. He shuddered, and then asked as calmly as he could, "Since Uncle Ying said that it was original, then that means that she is not buried here now?" So what are you bringing me here for? ”
