After driving for more than an hour, I got off the highway and got on the winding mountain road. The scenery on both sides gradually got rid of the monotony of the previous one, but became beautiful and changeable. In the winter in the north, the wild is mostly white mountains and black water. However, white mountains and black water are not the same as boring. Under the fine carving of artificiality, it will still make people feel that it is long-lasting.

For example, when Dai Bingcheng whispered to Li Zhen that he had entered the vicinity of the Jinghu Annex, he began to see the pavilions and pavilions dotted on the rocks around him.

Those buildings must be hundreds of years old. Some of them were built by the Manchus who lived in the area, and the other part was built by the Han Chinese who went out to dig for gold in the 18th century. For a long time, this area was the residence of high-ranking officials, so most of the buildings are well preserved. And because the "Westernization Movement" outside the Guanxi was nearly half a century later than in the south, the ancient buildings here were not demolished and destroyed as in the south, because people were already aware of the importance of preserving local culture at that time.

After another half an hour, the car got off the winding mountain road. So in a large area of deciduous trees, the corners of the eaves with green glazed tiles were picked out.

This scene saw Li Zhenxin's heart, and in a trance, it seemed that he had crossed time and space to a peaceful and quiet ancient time, and he encountered an ancient temple in the deep mountains, and maybe the next moment he would hear the bell ringing.

But the car turned a corner, and the previous feeling was gone. Not because of anything else, just because of a camera mounted on a pole standing on the side of the road. This modern creation suddenly appeared here, and the ancient meaning was diluted a lot at once.

Dai Bingcheng slowed down. The car slowly drove into the vermilion gate that opened automatically, followed the path in the courtyard, passed through the frozen ponds and snow-covered rockeries on both sides, and finally stopped in front of the house.

"It's here. Get out. Dai Bingcheng extinguished the fire, and Li Zhen looked up at the mansion in front of him. He didn't know how many entrances and exits the house were, but he could only vaguely see that there were many buildings behind the house, and the scale would not be small. They are all covered with green glazed tiles, vermilion gate pillars, wooden window frames, and antique non-reflective hard cellophane. Some of the windows also have air conditioning fans - but the thing is made of imitation wood, and there is no sense of disobedience when resting under the window, it looks like a small wooden pier.

There was an inexplicable sense of awe in his heart, and at the same time, it was hard to imagine that Ying De, who usually seemed so easy-going and low-key, had grown up in such an environment.

The two got out of the car. A young man drove the car away. Another middle-aged man greeted the door. The man's appearance was somewhat similar to that of Ying De. Because of proper maintenance, it looks like he is almost forty years old.

He walked out of the door quickly, greeted with a smile, and said, "Director Dai, I thought you would come a little later." ”

Dai Bingcheng smiled: "The road conditions are good. There are also fewer cars. Ran up. He turned sideways and introduced: "This is Li Zhen." ”

I saw the man's gaze. Li Zhen nodded: "Ying Gong." ”

But the person who came was slightly stunned and then laughed: "Misunderstanding." Just call me Brother Ying - Gong Ying is my father. ”

Dai Bingcheng also smiled and pointed to the person in front of him: "This is Ying Ran's brother, Ying Zhaoran." I don't have that much face to come out to greet the public. ”

Only then did Li Zhen realize that he had made a joke as soon as he entered the door. grinned embarrassedly: "Brother Ying." ”

Ying Zhaoran smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Come in and say, what is it like to be frozen at the door." ”

The three of them walked into the house, and Li Zhen was half a step behind the two people in front of him. He didn't want to act like Grandma Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden, but he still couldn't help but look around. The furnishings of the house were really exquisite—because there were so many things that he couldn't figure out what they were doing. He felt that the set in the costume film was really weak compared to the surrounding environment, and this room didn't seem to be a place for them to stay. After passing through the two main rooms, they went out again and walked up a cloister, going deeper into the courtyard.

Dai Bingcheng was talking to Ying Zhaoran, but it was nothing more than small talk. On the contrary, Ying Zhaoran turned back to talk to Li Zhen about inconsequential things from time to time, as if he was afraid of snubbing him.

The eldest son of Pingyang Hou took such care of himself, Li Zhen felt a little surprised. Although the other party seemed to have an excellent tutor and a kind and peaceful appearance, Li Zhen always felt that his eyes were ...... Something else. It's not a scheming, it's something "interesting".

It's like I've heard some great interesting story about myself before. Yet he thought about it, and he couldn't figure out what had made this man interested in him.

Along the cloister through the small garden behind the first house, they entered the second room. The temperature in this room was higher, as if from spring to early summer, the heat was blowing in and making the skin itch. It seems to be a living room, spacious and clean. Different from the cumbersome and elaborate of the previous room, this one is closer to the modern style layout, which is much simpler.

Ying Zhaoran stopped and nodded to Dai Bingcheng: "My father is waiting for you inside." You go in first, and I'll accompany Little Brother Li Zhen here. ”

Dai Bingcheng nodded and smiled, and entered another room on the east side.

So only Li Zhen and Ying Zhaoran were left in the living room.

Li Zhen felt a little restrained - he didn't feel this way when facing Chi You. At the moment, there is no need for him to fight to the death against the enemy, and it is useless to have no strength, which is really uncomfortable. This is the first time he has experienced this kind of situation, and he really doesn't know how to open his mouth. In the past, I always felt that the nobles of the empire, a certain duke, a certain marquis, and a certain uncle, were too far away from them as commoners—even if it had been a constitutional monarchy for hundreds of years, most of the people with titles were also in high positions of high office, and the general public had few opportunities to make friends.

However, right now, there is a "eldest son" of the Hou Ye sitting next to him, he thinks about it again and again, and he doesn't know what to talk about with the other party. After all, in addition to the difference in identity, there is also a teenage age difference between the two sides.

Fortunately, Ying Zhaoran is really easy-going. He first picked one or two topics about the ability to start, and then chatted with Li Zhen about the secret service house, and finally listened to Li Zhen talk about his experience of joining the northern base, and the atmosphere finally eased up.

But both of them avoided the matter of Ying Ran and did not talk about it. Because they all know that if they mention him, they won't be able to relax no matter how easy they want to. Ying Zhaoran's attitude can be regarded as a reassuring pill for Li Zhen. This out-and-out son of a family is extremely friendly and friendly to Li Zhen, as if he has regarded him as his close friend. So come to ...... That Pingyang Marquis won't raise his eyebrows at himself, right?

After saying the story of the Shennongjia incident, Ying Zhaoran looked at Li Zhen and shook his head slightly: "The name is well deserved." Sure enough, it's better to be famous than to meet. ”

Li Zhen let himself show a slightly shy expression and smiled: "This...... It's all the result of everyone's joint efforts. I can't do anything alone. ”

But Ying Ming smiled meaningfully: "It's not just about this. ”

Li Zhen was a little puzzled when he heard it, but the other party took a sip of tea from the cup and said no more. That sentence was a bit clueless, and Li Zhen felt even more strange. Of course, the strange thing is the attitude of the other party - although there is no such thing as "breaking the knots and handing them over" in this society now, there is no need for the other party to behave like "long-standing admiration" and "admiration"...... After all, he's just an executive.

Although he is an A-rank ability with a lot of proud records, it should be clear that a person of this status would not plan to become a close friend with him just because of that kind of thing, right?

It's weird!

He almost couldn't resist asking what was going on, but the sound of the door opening the door came from the other side of the living room. Li Zhen and Ying Zhaoran followed the prestige, and a familiar figure appeared at the other end of the living room.

That turned out to be a decision.

He still looked the same as before, but the expression on his face was a little indifferent. Frowning slightly, he glanced at the two people in the living room, and finally locked his eyes on Li Zhen.

Ying Zhaoran showed a nervous and anxious attitude in front of Li Zhen for the first time. He stood up and called in a low voice, "Resolutely, why did you come out." Is it better? ”

But Ying resolutely glanced at him gloomily and let out a cold snort. And then step by step.

Li Zhen also stood up and tried to shout: "Brother Ying? ”

He could see that there was something wrong with the response. With such a gloomy look at the moment, Li Zhen saw it for the first time. Ying resolutely walked up to him and stopped, frowning: "I...... Seems to remember you. ”

Li Zhen thought for a moment and asked, "Do you remember anything else?" ”

Ying resolutely looked him up and down, raised his hand and knocked his head: "Are you ...... You are...... You are ......"

He frowned as he spoke, until the last two eyebrows were almost twisted together, in a straight line. Ying Zhaoran hurriedly relieved: "If you can't think of it, don't think about it first, don't ......"

But before he could finish his words, what he feared happened. Ying Resolute's eyes widened suddenly, a little orange light flashed in his pupils, and then he let out a suppressed moan: "I can't remember—I can't remember!" ”

Then dense dark black scales appeared on the back of his hand, which continued to appear and disappear like a tide, and it made people's hearts tingle. Ying Zhaoran hurriedly avoided the side, and at the same time hurriedly said: "He's going to hit someone-Li Zhen, be careful!" ”

But Li Zhen did not dodge or dodge, but took a step forward and grabbed Ying Ran's hands and tightened them tightly, pushing him back five or six steps in a row, until he sat on the row of wooden chairs opposite. stared at his eyes again, small electric sparks burst out from his fingertips, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother Ying! ”

Ying resolutely looked at him, and then suddenly froze, moaning and roaring in his throat, and stopped speaking in a daze.

After a long time, he was stunned and said, "You...... What is it. ”

============================

Happy Dragon Boat Festival. On this festive day, I hope that the sweet and salty parties will temporarily put aside the party struggle and celebrate together. Of course, this does not mean that I am a weak compromiser, and heretics must die. (To be continued.) )
