The Ning family has been in Jinling for hundreds of years, but it has never been revealed, and very few people know about it, especially after the founding of the Great Chu, under the deliberate hiding of the imperial court and the Ning family, Ningjia Town was almost forgotten by the world, and the self-sufficiency of people in Ningjia Town seemed to be a paradise. At noon on this day, seeing that the old patriarch led a pair of white-clothed people back, Ningjiabao was actually boiling, especially the elderly, and saw Lianyu calling God to appear.

followed the old man in Mai into the old house of the Ning family, and the old man took the two directly into the backyard, and finally stopped at the door of a wing room on the west side, and said to Lianyu: "Girl, this is your mother's boudoir, go in and have a look." ”

Lianyu has heard all of her mother's understanding of her mother, and now facing her mother's boudoir, she has some gains and losses for a while, with panic and expectation, and hesitated for a moment before pushing the door and walking in. It should be wiped frequently, the tables, chairs and beds are spotless, and there are even two pots of daisies on the windowsill, and the breeze blows through and exudes a refreshing fragrance.

Glancing across the room, Lianyu's gaze rested on the scroll behind the bookcase. In the painting, the woman is wearing a Confucian shirt and holding a white horse, her eyes are shining, and she looks like a good boy walking in the rivers and lakes, and a mischievous smile hangs on the corner of her mouth, which gives her an ethereal feeling and makes her come to life.

At this moment, not only Lianyu was attracted by the person in the painting, but Chu Haoyu also stared straight at the scroll. The woman in the painting is seven or eight points similar to Lianyu, but the person in the painting is a little more heroic, and Lianyu's expression is a little more quiet than that. With just one glance, Chu Haoyu could determine that the person in the painting was Lianyu's mother, Ning Ling'er.

Lianyu naturally thought of this, and stared straight at the person in the painting, the corners of her eyes were a little moist. At this moment, a calm voice sounded, saying: "Since the little sister got married, this room has been empty, but for forty years, my father will turn around every day, sit quietly for a while and look at the portrait of the little sister, hoping to see the little sister again one day." Twenty years of waiting has not been in vain, girl, you and your little sister are simply carved out of the same mold. ”

The person who spoke was in his sixties but did not have a trace of old age, his figure was long and handsome, and he was wearing a cyan robe with a bit of fairy wind and bones, which was exactly what Ning Xiyi, the boss of the Ning family.

Seeing the person coming, a different color flashed in Chu Haoyu's eyes. Along the way, he found that most of the old and young in Ningjia Town have kung fu, especially the father and son of the Ning family, the old man's martial arts cultivation can't even be seen by Chu Haoyu, but the old man in Tsing Yi in front of him is a congenital master, and then he thinks of Ning Daosu who met that day, a family of three top masters, this Ningjia Town is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Listening to Ning Xiyi's tone, Lianyu didn't know who was coming, bowed down and made ten thousand blessings, and bowed: "Lianyu to see uncle." ”

Looking at Lianyu again for a moment, Ning Xiyi said with a sigh: "My Ning family's ancestor can't ask about the rights and wrongs of the rivers and lakes, otherwise, my uncle would have gone to the Holy Sect to bring you back, and besides, my Ning family was forced to swear a poisonous oath that day, and the sword would not be stained with red dust." Speaking of this, seeing the old father's brows furrowed slightly, Ning Xiyi opened his mouth and said, "Daddy, after so many years, what else can't be said?" ”

Hearing Ning Xiyi say this, the old man in Mai opened his mouth but did not make a sound, and sat down on the chair with a soft sigh. Ning Xiyi sat down under the old father's head, and said to Lianyu and Chu Haoyu at the same time: "Girl, sit, sit." ”

Chu Haoyu saw the expressions of Ning Xiyi's father and son in his eyes, and said in his heart that there was something hidden, holding Lianyu's arm and sitting down opposite the two.

Looking at the two of them, Ning Xiyi opened his mouth and said: "Back then, like my father, I didn't want my little sister to marry into the Xie family, there are many rights and wrongs in the big family, not to mention that the Xie family still has the heart to compete for the world, but the little sister is playful and naughty but frank and casual, how can she stand the intrigue in the inner courtyard of the deep palace?" But the little sister loves Xie Cheng very much, and swears that he will not marry, but her father can't resist her temperament and can only agree. When the little sister married into the Xie family, my Ning family also lost the quiet and peaceful of the past, some people think that when they abide by the family rules and do not care about the rights and wrongs of the world, some people think that the world has entered a troubled world, and when the trend rises to assist the wise lord to set things right. The second child has always had this thought in his heart, thinking that the Xie family can win the world, and my Ning family should do their best to help him. ”

Without thinking about it at all, Chu Haoyu could also guess that the people in front of him didn't want the Ning family to get involved in the world's rights and wrongs, and Ning Xiyi continued: "In the end, the second child led a group of hot-blooded sons into Stone City, fought in the south and the north, and became the general of the Xie family for a while. Waiting for Da Chu to move his army south, the second child saw that Da Chu was in full swing, and returned to the clan to implore his father to kill Chu Tianfeng......" Seeing Chu Haoyu's face change slightly, Ning Xiyi said in a deep voice: "Even if Chu Tianfeng's martial arts are superb and there are countless guards on his side, if my father makes a move, he is at least fifty percent sure." ”

Suddenly, Chu Haoyu's brows jumped, but in the end there was no refutation, because there is no if in this world, his Chu family won and became the lord of the world, and besides, after sweeping a glance at Lianyu, Chu Haoyu also suffered silently, but the five fingers of the old man in Mai trembled, showing his inner unpeace. At this moment, Ning Xiyi continued: "After the defeat of the Xie family, the younger sister was buried with Xie Cheng, and the second child was isolated in the ancestral hall. ”

Hearing this, the old man in Mai couldn't control the agitation in his heart anymore, his emaciated body trembled, his face was extremely complicated, there was helplessness, remorse, longing, and even blaming himself, that is, Ning Xiyi himself, he couldn't keep calm anymore, shook his head and sighed lightly: "Before the siege of Stone Town, I secretly sneaked into the Xie family, I wanted to take away my little sister, and I also took away your brothers and sisters at worst, but my little sister didn't allow it, saying that she was already willful when she married into the Xie family, and she couldn't introduce the disaster into the Ning family again." As for the juniors, your two elder brothers, Lin'er and Qi'er, and the younger sister bluntly said that they are both surnamed Xie, even if they are young and can't fight for the Xie family, they must not leave the Xie family when the war is in full swing, but the girl is still in your infancy, and the little sister doesn't want you to be implicated, so she entrusts you to her best friend Liusong. ”

Speaking of this, Ning Xiyi stared straight at Lianyu and said, "Girl, don't blame us for ignoring you all these years, we really don't want to disturb your quiet." Speaking of this, he sighed lightly, Ning Xiyi shook his head and said: "The battle of the world, since ancient times, has been the defeat of the king, the defeat of the Xie family, and the slaughter of the Xie family, especially the Xie family, your two elder brothers are naturally the focus of the Chu family, but after the stone city was broken, Lin'er, that is, your eldest brother, disappeared." ”

Speaking of this, Ning Xiyi explained: "Your mother has two sons and a daughter, the eldest son Xie Donglin, named Donglin, it is also Xie Cheng's ambition and expectation, and he has always cultivated Lin'er as the successor of the family. The second son Jiang Qi, and then you girl. As Xie Cheng's eldest son, Lin'er's identity is extraordinary, the Chu family wants to see people in life and corpses in death, but Lin'er seems to have disappeared out of thin air, and the Chu family searched for several days without results. In the end, the Chu family set their sights on my Ningjia Town, dispatched a large army to surround the town, and asked my father to hand over Lin'er, otherwise, Ningjia Town would be washed in blood. The father was forced to be helpless, and finally made a poisonous oath to protect the safety of hundreds of people in the Ning family. So, girl, don't blame us for not seeing you all these years, making you suffer so many grievances. ”

Hearing this, the strength in Lianyu's heart had been shattered, and two lines of tears were left in her eyes, and she knelt down at the old man in Mai and Ning Xiyi, and bowed: "Grandfather, uncle!" ”

Seeing Lianyu's tears, the old man in Mai was also in tears, and hurriedly hugged Lianyu and said, "Girl." failed to keep your mother back then, and the old man was uneasy for decades. I've been trying to take you back all these years, but the old man made a vow back then that he would never ask about the world again, and wronged you, child. At the end of the words, the old man in Mai raised his hand and took Lianyu into his arms.

Crawling in his grandfather's arms, especially feeling the hot tears he shed, Lianyu's nose was sore, and she actually cried out loud. Seeing this, Ning Xiyi took a deep breath to hold back the sadness in his heart, got up and walked out.

Looking at Lianyu's sad appearance, Chu Haoyu sighed softly in his heart. As Ning Xiyi said, since ancient times, there has been no so-called morality in the battle of the world, only success or failure. Shaking his head, Chu Haoyu followed Ning Xiyi out, his words should be more than that.

The old house of the Ning family is not big or gorgeous, but the history of hundreds of years has precipitated the vicissitudes and wisdom of the years in this house.

Ning Xiyi stopped in a quaint and even somewhat gloomy courtyard, shook his head after a moment of silence and said: "The world makes people, back then, the Chu Xie family was completely an endless situation, I don't want the two of you to come together after twenty years, alas! With a low sigh, Ning Xiyi suddenly stared at Chu Haoyu and asked, "Seventh Prince is curious?" ”

Chu Haoyu nodded but did not speak, while Ning Xiyi opened his mouth and said, "Ancestor Ning Gu." ”

"Ninggu?" Muttering to himself, Chu Haoyu suddenly thought of something, his face changed slightly, and he blurted out: "That Mai Grandmaster a hundred years ago? ”

Ning Xiyi nodded but never opened his mouth, and Chu Haoyu was silent. The master of the Grandmaster Realm is the top existence in the world, and he is not much better than the emperor, but there is never a shortage of emperors in this world, and the masters of the Grandmaster Realm are scarce and pitiful. The Zhao Dynasty has changed nearly 20 emperors for more than 300 years, but there are only two masters, one is Xu Beifan at the beginning of the founding of the Zhao Dynasty, and then Ning Gu, not only the martial arts master, medicine, herbal medicine, Shennong have extremely high attainments, known as the Mai master, to this day, there is still his legend on the rivers and lakes, supported by many people, no wonder the Ning family has the confidence to assassinate the first emperor Chu Tianfeng.

After a moment of silence, Chu Haoyu opened his mouth and asked, "What does Mr. want?" ”

At this moment, Ning Xiyi's gaze moved away from Chu Haoyu's face, swept a glance at the empty courtyard, and said slowly: "The second child killed himself in this courtyard. At that time, the second child said that he should not violate the ancestral teachings and get involved in the world's disputes, but he bluntly said that he never regretted it, but he had to bear the consequences if he did it. The second child's knife not only cut him, but also pierced the old man's heart, and he can't forget it for decades. Speaking of this, there was another sigh, Ning Xiyi shook his head and said: "My Ning family doesn't ask about the affairs of the world, but there are still old husbands in the world, and the ancestors are hand-scrolled, in exchange for the safety of Lin'er and the poor jade girl." ”

Chu Haoyu didn't answer, but chuckled lightly and said, "It seems that Mr. still can't trust this king." Sister Lianyu's safety, Mr. Lao doesn't bother, as for my eldest brother, this king will never make my sister sad. At the end of the words, Chu Haoyu turned around and left, and Ning Xiyi, who was looking at it, showed a flash of brilliance in his eyes, the hand scroll of the Grandmaster Realm, not everyone can refuse.

Walking out of the Ning Family Ancestral Hall, Chu Haoyu only felt relieved, but at this moment, a deep voice sounded in his ears, and said, "I hope!" ”
