The rain outside the window stopped for some time, and the remaining raindrops on the sycamore leaves fell sparsely on the ground, blurring a small puddle of water stains on the bluestone slab. A soft female voice came from inside the house, spiraling around the trunk of the tree and floating into the sky.

"So many things have happened, and now you live in the Taiwei Mansion?" Xiao Chenyi sighed.

Ye Luwu nodded, "Exactly, if it weren't for that notice, I wouldn't have met you today." You look so fascinated, but do you know them?" she smiled slyly and quipped, "You have such similar names, you can't really be brothers." “

Xiao Chenyi hurriedly shook his head and denied: "No, no, there are so many people with similar names in the world, is it possible that they are all brothers?"

Seeing that he reacted so much, Ye Luwu felt that things might not be simple. She has known him since childhood, but his family seems to have appeared in Yongzhou overnight, and the origin is impossible to investigate. Even though he has been a childhood sweetheart, except for his name, the rest is blank. Xiao Chenyi is like a fog, unpredictable. There may really be some kind of connection between him and Chenyu, but he just doesn't want her to know.

He didn't say much, but when the time came, she didn't ask much.

"It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days," Xiao Chenyi looked at Ye Luwu, who was in thought, and hurriedly changed the topic: "What are Awu's plans?"

"Because I am not with my parents, the Mid-Autumn Festival is just more sad for me. Ye Luwu was wrapped in a bright red cloak, and only a white jade-like face was exposed, "It's getting late, if I don't go back, I'm afraid my father-in-law will be worried." “

With that, she got up from her chair, tightened her cloak and was about to walk out the door.

Xiao Chenyi hurriedly chased after him and said, "I'll send you." “

The light of the day will fade, and the light of the night will spread across the streets. The night wind swirled from nowhere, and the dead branches and fallen leaves fell with the wind, leaving the leaves green and Xiao Chenyi all over his body.

The two of them walked side by side on the road, and the moonlight fell on their bodies like a waterfall, and even the hair was soaked into a piece of silver. Ten years have passed in a hurry, and everything seems to have changed, but nothing seems to have changed.

Xiao Chenyi stopped at the last turn in front of the Taiwei Mansion, watching Ye Luwu pull his cloak and go farther and farther, the fiery red figure was like a cluster of dancing flames, rekindling the spark in his heart. Almost without hesitation, he spat out two words into the air: "Silver Fang." “

In the darkness behind him, a figure instantly appeared. Silver Tooth lowered his head and walked to Xiao Chenyi's side, silently like a carving.

"Protect her. “

Xiao Chenyi's voice quickly disappeared into the night sky, without causing any waves. Silverfang heard the order and left, as silent as he had ever been, as if it had never existed.

As soon as Ye Luwu entered the mansion, he was taken to the main hall by the housekeeper, and when he saw his serious expression, he didn't know what was going on.

Murong Hua sat above and was silent, his face as cold as ice. And Wen Yu sat down at the bottom of the head, both of them looked like they were facing a great enemy.

Ye Luwu took off the cloak and handed it to the maid next to her, brushing off the cold air on her clothes before stepping forward, "Father-in-law, my daughter was delayed when she met the deceased today, and it will not be the case in the future." “

Murong Hua touched her head lovingly and sighed, "It's not because of this. The two people you posted a notice to find have clues, and I want to tell you as soon as I return home. But I didn't see you, but I waited for the attendant who came to deliver the decree, and the saint announced that you would enter the palace with me during the Mid-Autumn Festival. I knew that your traces would leak out sooner or later, but I didn't expect that in just one day, someone would spread the word to the Holy One. “

Ye Lu knew that his father-in-law was probably worried because he was afraid that he would be more and less lucky. "Don't worry, my daughter is not at the mercy of others," she said calmly, "What's more, with my father-in-law and my teacher, I will definitely be able to get out safely." “

"Alas, poor boy, what a fateful fate. Murong Hua let out a long sigh and said with a wry smile: "That's it, we can't predict what will happen that day, let's take one step at a time, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain." And the clansmen near Kyoto have arrived, now let's go to the ancestral hall and ask for genealogy! Even if you disobey the will of the saints, the father will protect you!"

Wen Yu hesitated beside him for a long time, and finally slowly stepped forward under Ye Luwu's gaze, took out a brilliant bead from his purse and handed it to her.

"It's ...... Yongzhou Demon Tree's Shark Pearl?!" Ye Luwu exclaimed, this shark bead almost took the lives of a group of them, and it was naturally recognizable at a glance. "But isn't the spiritual power in this shark bead exhausted? ”

Wen Yu's voice was low, as if he was saying something unacceptable: "After you and Wang Bi fell unconscious, Senior Brother came to untie the barrier he had set up in the hairpin. At that time, when he said that I should take good care of you, he secretly handed me this shark bead. ”

"Today, I deliberately avoided everyone to go out, just to explore this shark bead, but I had no choice but to practice enough, and it was not until the evening that I unlocked its outer seal, and read the news that the senior brother stayed in it. ”

Ye Luwu was surprised: "What is here?"

Wen Yu's brows furrowed and furrowed, as if he was speaking with all his strength: "It's a spell in the cold night heart method - the eternal night star." After urging with soul power, all the light near the shark bead can disappear, and it can be attacked, retreated, and defended. ”

"That's really good, it'll just be used in a few days!" Ye Luwu said excitedly: "Then why don't you take it out earlier." ”

"Because it's a cold night method. Wen Yu's voice was dry, "Senior Brother said in the shark bead, although the cold night heart method can instantly improve the cultivation of several decades, but it can no longer absorb the aura of heaven and earth, which means ......"

"I know," Ye Luwu interrupted him, "It means that I can only use the soul power in my body to forcibly increase the soul power, and when this soul power is exhausted, my life will be gone." ”

Wen Yu nodded, "What you said is right, but Senior Brother said that this technique was made by him, and you only need to use your soul power to urge it, which is not considered to be practicing the Cold Night Heart Method." But if you use your soul power to urge it, it will be more or less counterattacked. Your meridians have only been damaged for a short time, and if you are counterattacked, I am afraid that your body will not be able to support it, so I have not given it to you for a long time. Actually, I hope you never need it. ”

Ye Luwu smiled slightly, his eyes flashed: "For now, let's pass the pass of entering the palace first, I have your heart." ”

At this moment, the housekeeper came to reply, "Second Miss, the ancestral hall has been prepared, please go after the Second Miss takes a bath and changes clothes." ”

Ye Luwu didn't need to worry about Wen Yu, so he went back to bathe and change clothes as he said.

Put on a Luo skirt made of the softest brocade in Yangzhou, pull up a high flying fairy bun, let the fish insert red gold and ruby heads one by one, and put a pair of lotus bead bracelets with gold thread on your wrists. Gently rub the soft and fragrant white fat powder on the face, use Shi Dai to delicately trace the eyebrows to look like a distant mountain, stain a little lipstick between your fingers, and slowly apply it on your lips.

She looked at the face in the mirror that had been carefully covered with makeup, it was her, and it was not her. Is she the girl who rides the horse wantonly on the Arashi Mountain, or is she the lady who is sitting here now? But one thing is certain, she said to herself, I am just a leafy green, nothing more.

Following behind the two hand-lamp maids, taking the steps of a standard dignified noblewoman, she heard the pearls on her head tinkling, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

Although the Murong family was a prominent family in the previous dynasty, Murong Hua's grandfather was only the son of the outer chamber and was not allowed to go to the family tree, and his descendants were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall to enjoy incense offerings. However, it was also thanks to him that he was angry, and once after high school, he crossed the horse and paraded the streets, and set up another door by himself, becoming the current Murong family.

Therefore, there are not many people who come to the ancestral hall today, only Murong Hua's two nephews and his children.

Originally, there was no need to open an ancestral hall on the genealogy, but Murong Hua knew that at this time, there were already many pairs of eyes staring at the Taiwei Mansion, and if the formation was not enough, it would make them despise Ye Luwu, and she would have a more difficult road in the future.

The three incense sticks were steadily inserted into the incense burner, and the curling green smoke rose straight up, and there was not a single human voice in the entire ancestral hall.

Murong Hua knelt on the futon, held the family tree with both hands and said: "Unworthy descendant Murong Hua was never repaid by Ye Jing's kindness, and now the Ye family has fallen, leaving only one daughter, Ye Luwu, in the world." In order to repay the kindness of the Ye family, I will now record the name of the Ye family in the family tree, and protect the descendants of the Duke of Engong with the power of my Murong family!"

Say goodbye to Ye Luwu three kowtows and thank your ancestors.

In order to convict the Ye family, the emperor hurriedly convicted a trumped-up crime and copied the Yongding Bofu. After this time, Ye's Luwu is no longer the daughter of a criminal minister, an orphan of Bofu, but the second daughter of the Taiwei who is now ranked as the third duke. In this capital, even the unfavored princess and county lord can't match her.

In a dark corner next to the ancestral hall, a ghostly figure flashed by, and no one noticed.

Late at night, Ye Luwu took off the hairpin ring jewelry around her body and soaked herself in the bathtub alone.

She looked at the shark beads in her hand through the mist, and the silk brilliance flowed under the dark blue shell, which was a beauty that was hard to find in the world. If this thing is seen by the concubines and ladies in the harem, I am afraid that she will order to arrest all the sharks in the world, she thought.

She knew since she was a child that although the senior brother had a cold face, if he asked him for help, he would never refuse. When she first arrived in Lanshan, she was eager for quick success and quick success, and she almost went mad, and it was the senior brother who helped her get out of danger at that time. Since then, she has occasionally blocked her meridians, and every time she goes to find the senior brother, she has to muster up her courage, but gradually she realizes that even if she does something out of the ordinary, the senior brother will not be harsh on her.

After her soul power was improved and she became a personal disciple, she was able to solve the problem of vein blockage on her own, and she gradually stopped contacting her senior brother. But even so, in the early stage of his trip to Yongzhou, he deliberately prepared a hosta carved with a magic circle, and when he was criticized by various factions in the rivers and lakes on the martial arts field, he did not forget to prepare this shark bead for her.

It is rumored that the exploration method of the great disciple of the Arashi Sect has become superb, and he can see the past and the future just by breathing. He prepared this talisman for himself, could it be that he would really suffer some calamity on this trip?

Ye Luwu sighed faintly and sank himself into the tub again.

Even if it is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, you have to break out, otherwise you will let down so many people who protect you.

She had no dreams all night, and after settling her mind, she slept very soundly.

Early the next morning, according to her habit of many years, she breathed in the aura of heaven and earth in the garden, and condensed her soul power to be more pure.

"It's still early, why don't Ah Wu sleep more?" a slightly surprised voice came, breaking the silence of the early morning.

Ye Luwu opened his eyes and saw that it was Murong Ying, Murong Hua's only son. I saw it in a hurry in front of the ancestral hall last night, but I only had time to salute slightly, and I didn't say anything else.

"The eldest brother is really diligent, presumably the father-in-law will be happy to see it. ”

Murong Ying smiled slightly, looking like everyone's sons, "Father went to the court early this morning, and asked me to inform Ah Wu that the two people you posted the notice to find have been seen." ”

Ye Luwu hurriedly asked, "Where are they?"

"Yes, yes, don't worry. Murong Ying said slowly, "Someone came to receive the reward yesterday, saying that they had seen them in a courtyard in the south of the suburbs of Beijing. I don't know whose house it is, and it has been empty and uninhabited for the past few years. They were very surprised that someone suddenly came and went, and when they went to see it, they found that they were two handsome sons. The man's son was working in the Huamanlou in the capital, and when he came to look for his son, he happened to see a notice and came to the Taiwei's Mansion to receive the reward. ”

"I see, it's really a coincidence. Ye Luwu sighed, "Then I'll set off now, otherwise I'll miss it again." ”

Murong Ying crossed her hand in front of her and stopped her steps, "When the man came, he said that when he went to look in the Zhuangzi, he found that it was neatly cleaned up, and it didn't look like he was about to leave. Besides, your notice clearly states that the two wounded people must find a place to recuperate, and according to you, they have been on the road for a few days, and now they are about to recuperate. ”

Ye Luwu thought for a while, since they would not leave the capital for a while, it was better to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival to enter the palace first, and it would not be too late to go after everything had settled.
