"I didn't expect the virtuous nephew to come, it's really not a coincidence, my father was out of the customs before, and after the auction, he went out to visit friends, and he hasn't returned yet!"

In the reception hall of the Iron Sword Palace, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and a righteous face sat in the upper hand and said with a wry smile.

This person is the fourth son of the Iron Sword King - Liu Pingsheng!

"It's the little nephew who is presumptuous!"

Wu Ming said humbly.

"It's okay, it's okay, you used to come to play when you were a child, just treat it as your own home. ”

Liu Pingsheng said as gently as an elder.

"Thank you uncle, if it's convenient, the little nephew still wants to visit my aunt!"

Wu Ming took the lead.

"This ...... It's okay, it's been more than three years since you returned to Beijing, and she hasn't seen you yet, so it's right to go and see you. ”

Liu Pingsheng's hand stretched out to the teacup paused, slowly retracted, stroked his beard, and bowed slightly

"Thank you, uncle, for making it happen!"

Wu Ming stood up and bowed.

"Hehe, the virtuous nephew is too polite! There are still a lot of things in the house, so I won't accompany you!"

Liu Pingsheng waved his hand and called out softly, "Come on, go to the backyard to inform Madame, and say that King Wu has come to see her!"

"Thank you, uncle!"

Wu Ming's eyes flashed slightly, and he got up and exited the hall.

Under the guidance of a servant, follow the familiar and unfamiliar path to a quiet garden deep in the backyard.

"Si Shao, I've checked it, the treasures on the gift list are extremely valuable, there is no problem!"

A thin old man walked out of the back hall and handed over a poster.

"There's Uncle Lao!"

Liu Pingsheng took the name card and looked at it, and his brows gradually furrowed.

The old man bowed slightly, and retreated expressionlessly.

This person is Liu Gu, who is ranked fourth among the six major swordsmen under the Iron Sword King Liu Xuan, and is assigned to work by Liu Pingsheng's side.

"At this time, I came to the door, is it for the order of the imperial court to prepare for the battle of Youxia Ridge? No, even if my father makes a move, it is impossible to exempt the Wu family from the quota!"

Liu Pingsheng pondered for a long time, didn't come up with a clue, got up and went to the forbidden place in Fuzhong, where Liu Xuan's retreat and cultivation were located.

......

"Heh, it's really a good person, this Uncle Liu Si was the closest to my father back then.

It's no wonder that even the relics dare to peep, what else can't be done?"

Approaching the courtyard door, Wu Ming put away his thoughts and tidied up his clothes.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, Madame is invited!"

After a while, a pretty maid came out, looked at him curiously, and said in a low voice.

"Sister Lao leads the way!"

Wu Ming smiled kindly and stepped inside.

Red Lotus carried a gift box and accompanied her.

When I arrived in the courtyard, I saw from a distance that a stunning woman in white clothes like snow, black hair like a waterfall, plain face to the sky, and a pair of sheared eyes flashing, looking this way.

is seven points similar to Liu Yixue, it is his mother Pei Susu!

On the stone table in front of him, several bamboo baskets were placed, with brocade rags and needles and threads inside.

"Nephew greets aunt!"

Wu Ming took two steps and bowed.

"Come on, come on, sit down, let me see you!"

Pei Susu's eyes were slightly red, and his hands were stretched out lightly.

Wu Ming sat in front of him as he said, and his eyes showed a touch of sincere admiration.

This friendship is half true and half false.

Really, when she was a child, this girl had a handkerchief relationship with Wu Ming's mother Gu Yun, and the two families had close contacts, and they were called aunts when they were children.

The half-point leave is naturally his impure purpose and he came prepared!

"You kid, you haven't come to see me since you returned to Beijing for a few years, is it because your aunt hasn't helped you all these years?"

Pei Susu took Wu Ming's hand, tears in her eyes, and the love of the elders was overflowing.

"How dare my nephew!"

Wu Ming said sincerely.

If it's weird, it's really not true, after all, the battle of the Holy Dao is not something that everyone can get involved in.

"Don't you dare to bring these things back?"

Pei Susu pointed to the gift box given by Honglian with disgust.

"This is a nephew's heart!"

Wu Ming hurriedly explained.

"You kid!"

Pei Susu wiped away her tears, and there seemed to be an indissoluble sadness between her eyebrows.

"Hey!"

Wu Ming sighed silently in his heart.

This one is really sad!

Thinking about the scenes of this woman and her mother's relationship back then, the sisterhood is by no means ordinary.

But as a woman, especially a woman who marries into a wealthy family, many things are not something she can control.

"You have grown up and become sensible, aunt wants to thank you!"

After chatting for a long time, Pei Susu was pleased.

"My aunt is serious, and my nephew hasn't done anything!"

Wu Ming pretended not to understand.

"Hey, I've suffered you all these years, the naughty child who babbled back then has now become an old and serious young prince!"

Pei Susu was slightly stunned and sighed.

"It's been all these years, if my nephew doesn't grow up, what will it be? I still remember when you and Granny Lu took me to play, by the way, why didn't you see him?"

Wu Ming said jokingly.

"Oh, she's been gone for years!"

Pei Susu pointed, sighed lightly and called a maid holding a package, opened it and took out a set of brocade robes, "Try it, it doesn't fit!"

"Aunt made it for me?"

Wu Ming's eyes flashed slightly, he got up in surprise, and spread his arms as he said.

"Who else can I give it if I don't do it for you?"

Pei Susu said as he unfolded the brocade robe and attached it to Wu Ming.

It's not big, it's not too small, it fits just right!

At this time, Wu Ming wondered even more, how did she know her size?

"Although I am a woman's family, it's not like no one is outside for me!"

Pei Susu explained with a smile.

"Thank you, aunt!"

Wu Ming's heart moved, he bowed, and secretly sighed, the wealthy lady is really not simple.

"It just fits!"

Pei Susu nodded with satisfaction.

The two chatted for a long time, most of the time it was Pei Susu who said, and Wu Ming said a few words in a timely manner.

It's like an ordinary elder cares about the junior, chatting about family life, with joy and a touch of sadness in the harmony!

It wasn't until near noon that Wu Ming got up to say goodbye, and Pei Susu left him for lunch, and he also shirked his busy work.

What he didn't know was that not long after leaving, Liu Pingsheng came.

"Su Su, why didn't you leave Ziming's nephew lunch?"

What is surprising is that Pei Susu was quite cold to her husband, she didn't even look up, she was still sorting out the half-finished clothes in the basket, and said lightly: "You are so busy, why is he embarrassed to disturb more?"

"Ahem!"

Liu Pingsheng coughed with a sneering face, glanced at Pei Susu, who was still bowing his head, and secretly gave the maid on the side a look.

The two chatted for a while, and Liu Pingsheng left the courtyard.

If this scene is seen, it will inevitably be surprised that the harmonious husband and wife who are rumored to be so cold are so cold.

can look at the look of the maid on the side, it seems that it has long been strange.

What Pei Susu didn't know was that not long after Liu Pingsheng left, one of his personal maids found an excuse to go out, met with him, and chatted for a long time.

All that was said was Wu Ming's every move after he was admitted to the hospital, and everything was described in detail.

In the end, Liu Pingsheng left with a frown!

......

"Young Master......"

On the street, in the carriage, the red lotus wanted to speak and stopped.

Wu Ming kept frowning, stroking the package in his arms, without saying a word, and looking preoccupied.

Honglian's words came to her mouth and swallowed it back, rubbing her shoulders in distress and comforting her silently.

In this way, all the way back to the palace.

"Let's let Qingzhu come here!"

Before entering the door, Wu Ming said in a hoarse voice.

Honglian was startled, she had never seen Wu Ming look like this.

It had only been half an hour, and there was bloodshot in his eyes.

"Yes!"

Honglian nodded obediently and didn't ask more.

Wu Ming didn't say a word, returned to Ciyun Garden with the package, and took the information sent by Chu Chu to read it.

There are not many dossiers, but there are a few letters with dense handwriting and a vivid portrait.

On it, there are two women, one big and one small, the adult is thirty years old, the appearance is beautiful, the younger one is only four or five years old, although young, a pair of eyes are full of unconcealable aura, and there is a trace of cunning in the eccentric!

"Granny Lu, Granny Lu, who are you?"

Looking at the portrait, Wu Ming was stunned for a long time, and his past memories echoed in his mind.

More than ten years ago, when the Wu Wangfu was at its peak, his mother Gu Yun took him to the Iron Sword Mansion as a guest.

The two mothers talk about each other, and it is Granny Lu who takes care of the two children!

The predecessor Wu Ming is only one year old, Liu Yixue is only half a year old, and no one can guard against a little older child.

But that's it, inadvertently, Granny Lu showed her true face, and it was the older woman who painted it!

Although it is a glimpse, after many years, any child, even if he is four or five years old, may not remember it.

But Wu Ming received the memory of his predecessor, and passed it over again like a projector, and he didn't feel anything when he saw it before.

But with the various information sent by the anthill, combined with the files, starting from all aspects, and finally locking down several candidates, Wu Ming felt that something was wrong.

After thinking about it carefully, I found the clue.

I never thought that Chu Chu's assassination target would be Granny Lu, that is, Pei Susu's nurse!

"Nurse?

Although Pei Susu's appearance has changed greatly, Wu Ming is too familiar with Liu Yixue, a childhood sweetheart.

The girl in the portrait is almost the same mold as Liu Yixue when she was a child, but she is less fat and looks a little thinner.

"Young Master, Qingzhu is here!"

In the afternoon, the red lotus arrived with green bamboo.

"Check it out!"

Wu Ming pushed the brocade robe forward.

Hearing this, Qingzhu stepped forward, although his eyes were blind, he accurately found the brocade robe, a pair of delicate baby-like palms, and the white jade-like ten fingers rubbed carefully on the brocade robe.

From time to time, there is an inexplicable green jade brilliance, making the palm more warm and jade, revealing indescribable beauty and mystery.

"Young master, there are traces of the sword in the red sleeve move, although it is well disguised, but some habits cannot be changed, only people who practice specific martial arts all year round will inadvertently leave a trace!"

After the tea effort, Qingzhu stood with his hands tied, silent for a while, and fixed his head.

Wu Ming waved his hand silently.

Seeing this, Honglian pulled Qingzhu and retreated, and when she reached the front of the courtyard, Wu Ming's voice came.

"Spread the message, just say that there have been a lot of things recently, and I want to prepare for the matter of entering the Youxia Ridge, and I have no time to take care of it, so I can't help!"

"Hey!"

Wu Ming's melancholy sigh sounded in the unmanned courtyard, looking at the brocade robe, speechless for a long time, "This is chasing and killing traitors! Granny Lu can hide for so many years, and her strength ...... Chu Chu, I'm sorry!"
