Yan Mo compared the fragment of the mask with the blade of the sword, and found that the rounded edge of the fragment had no sword marks, and the moment was a sword, so he couldn't draw any conclusions...

"When I fought against Brother Lonely, I used the Moment Brake to buckle the truss and cut through his mask... That is, the sword marks on the mask may also be hurricane ... Later, when Brother Lonely Yu reappeared, the mask was intact, and I thought it was a new one... Later, in the battle between the Mo family and the dead, Brother Lonely Yu was..."Yan Mo recalled, and the picture reflected in his mind was the broken mask under the fire, and the blood-stained hurricane lying on the ground...

"Wait... Wrong! It was so chaotic at that time, from beginning to end, I had never seen Lonely Yu's corpse..."Yan Mo pondered, "Could it be... He's alive?! The fragments were the message he brought me?! If it's really him... Arrange for that girl to approach Mr. Qi and come to the other courtyard... The practice of leaving no trace is indeed in line with the style of the killer..."

The old man leads to a thousand threads, the wind and rain fall, and he has not slept yet, don't think about his relatives...

Yan Mo looked at the fragment and pondered for a long time, before wrapping the carving brake and putting it back in place, walking back to the courtyard with the fragment, thinking about it, her steps were a little heavier, and the hand holding the fragment was still unwilling to let go.

The trees rustle, the stars dotted the dark blue night sky, blinking softly, like the whispers of old people...

In the bedroom, Qi Jin slept on the bed, sweating profusely, frowning his brows, dreams were eroding his will...

The fireworks are like blood, exploding and terrifying, and thinking about the dreamer.

In the dream, Qijin clasped his arms, shrunk into a ball, and muttered to himself: "It's not true!" Wake up!! Wake up!! ”

Behind him stood a person, covered in black gas, holding a silver sword, killing wildly!!

"Hahahahahaha~" Qi Zheng had a hideous face, his eyes were red, and when he saw the man in black, he slashed hard!

The blood all over the ground flowed into a small river, slowly flowing to Qijin's side, winding into a circle of totems, shining brightly, echoing the blood moon phase in the night sky...

"None of it is true! Wake up!! Wake up!!! Qi Jin cursed himself, he didn't dare to look back, closed his eyes tightly, and turned a deaf ear, so as to cut off the influence of Qi Zheng!!

A bloody sword appeared beside Qi Jin, the hand holding the sword was stained red with blood, and Qi Zheng's face was covered with blood stains, standing there bored.

"Whitch!"

"I'm not a wreck... I'm not—" Qi Jin closed his eyes and denied.

"Humph! Coward! Qi Zheng took out his sword in one hand and killed another man in black, and the burst of blood stained Qi Jin's robe, "Don't you hate them?" Why not get your hands dirty?! It was they who killed the Mo family! responded to your fireworks, and caused you to owe little Yan Er~"

"Don't mention her! You don't deserve it!! Qi Jin finally got up suddenly and shouted!

"I'm not worthy?!" Qi Zheng distorted his facial features as if he had heard a big joke, and mocked, "Are you worthy?!" You know best what was going on back then! Do you still think you deserve it?! Hahahaha~" As he spoke, he ducked to his side, revealing the person behind him...

Qijin's pupils contracted instantly!

The blood on the ground converged into gorgeous peonies, blooming one by one, among the flowers were Yan Mo and Qi Ming, they were snuggling together, you and me...

"Ahh Qi Jin grabbed the placket of his clothes, pressed against the glass ring under it, held back the anger and the pain that was about to burst his heart, and desperately denied it, "It's not true!" Not really!! It's all an illusion, it's all his plan!! Wake up!! ”

"Wreck! You don't even dare to pursue what you love, what are you still doing?! Qi Zheng let out a burst of wild laughter, flew over the river of blood, lightly touched the viscous blood water on his toes, and smoothly drew the pattern of the blood-colored peony with his feet after landing, which was so bright that it was shocking!

"Hahaha~ I don't dare to love! Wretches are cowards! The waste of the nest is a dou who can't be helped!! You see! The person you like has thrown herself into the arms of others~" Qi Zheng was like a snake, hiding behind Yan Mo and Qi Ming, and his tone was evil, "You are not worthy~ You are not worthy of liking her!" She won't choose you as a bastard!! Then he let out another maniacal laugh, "She's not going to choose you!! ”

“... Not really... This is not true..."Qi Jin looked at the beautiful picture in front of him and said shakenly, "Xiao Yan'er... She wouldn't see me that way... It won't..."

Phantom Yan Mo raised his eyes, slanted his eyes, and looked at Qi Jin and said: "Without a fox, you will achieve nothing~ In terms of resourcefulness, you are not as good as him, and in terms of martial arts, you are still inferior to him!" Who would choose a waste like you! ”

"Brother Huang~ Yan'er is mine, do you have the ability to rob me? She is my princess, she is, and she will be, and she will not change! Phantom Qiming smiled lightly, with mockery in his tone, and after speaking, he lowered his head and kissed the person in his arms, not forgetting to give Qijin a smug look!

"Ahhhh He wanted to push Qi Zheng away, but he only pushed into a cloud of slowly transforming air!

"Hahaha~" Qi Zheng laughed obscenely and arrogantly, his body was getting bigger, and even the blood-colored peony on the ground was expanding!

Bang! Bang bang bang!

The fireworks on the horizon twisted and exploded, making Qijin want to tear off his ears!!

"Brother Huang, heh!" Phantom Qiming hooked the corners of his mouth, "What are you taking to rob me, you can't compare to mine... Brother Huang! ”

"Ahhh Bastard! Get out of the body!! Demon! I won't fall for you!! Xiao Yan'er won't do this to me!! No, it won't!!! Qijin scratched his ears and screamed, "Stop! Stop it!! Don't set off fireworks!! Stop it!!! ”

"Brother Huang! Brother Huang! Qi Ming's nervous voice came from a distant space, surrounding Qi Jin...

Qijin gasped and came to his senses: "Brother Ming..."

"Brother Huang! Wake up!! Qi Ming grabbed Qi Jin's hands and called, "Brother Huang!" You're having nightmares! Wake up!! ”

"Ahh Qijin sat up from the bed in shock! He looked at his brother's expression carefully, confirming the truth of the person in front of him...

"Brother Huang, your ears..."Qi Ming said nervously.

Qijin touched his ears and recalled the scene in his dream, and his heart was like thousands of ropes pulling and entangled!

"No... No! Qi Jin flicked his brother's hand away and hid himself in the crook of his arm!

"Brother Huang..."Qi Ming was very surprised, and lowered his wrist and didn't dare to approach rashly...

Outside the bedroom, except for the sound of insects, it is very quiet, and only this bedroom is lit up by flickering lights in the cold courtyard...

After Yan Mo returned to the other courtyard, she saw that the light in her bedroom was on, and when she came to the door, she heard Qi Ming's call, so she pushed the door and entered.

"Fox?" Yan Mo took three steps and two steps to the bed, and when she saw Qi Jin's frightened appearance, she called softly, "Brother Jin? ”

Hearing Yan Mo's voice, Qi Jin came back to his senses slightly, he raised his head and looked around, after seeing the person clearly, his nose was sore, and tears soaked out of his eyes...

"Little Yan'er... I'm sorry..."Qi Jin sat down on the bed, hugged Yan Mo's waist, and cried, "It's all my fault!" It's me who I'm sorry for you!! ”

Yan Mo looked at Qi Ming in surprise and asked the other party with his eyes.

Qi Ming clenched his fists, resisted his impulse, and said with a slight sadness: "Brother Huang has always slept lightly, and he still has nightmares from time to time..."

"Little Yan'er, what can I do to make up for all this..."Qi Jin muttered to himself like a helpless child with a crying voice, "What should I do to go back to the past..."

Thinking of the lost relatives, Yan Mo couldn't help but redden, she patted the other party's back, and said softly: "Brother Jin... We are all victims, and you should not blame yourself..."

"I caused you to lose your loved ones... Lost home... You've been alone for ten years..."Qi Jin's eyes were full of remorse and sadness, "It's me... Useless... Didn't understand everything, didn't go to you..."

"......" Qi Ming frowned, he didn't regret hiding everything, the world is like a torrent, I don't know the end, only by actively grasping what I want will not be swallowed by the torrent... He lowered his eyes and looked away, whether it was Yan'er or the imperial brother, it was the imprint he wanted to grasp...

"Big boss?" Aoki Hui heard the sound of the lamp and appeared outside the door, he was surprised that Yan Mo and the prince were hugging each other.

Yan Mo wiped away his tears, helped Qi Jin, and comforted: "Brother Jin, don't be sad... I just made a new discovery. As she spoke, she beckoned to Teru Aoki.

After everyone calmed down, sitting around the table, Yan Mo took out the fragments of the mask and said his conjecture.

"Lonely Rain..."Qi Ming picked up the fragment and looked at it carefully, recalling, "Speaking of which, Lonely Rain was always wearing a mask at that time, and he never showed his true face. Yan'er, have you seen it? ”

Yan Mo: "Brother Lonely Yu doesn't come to the master's house often, every time I see him, it's a mask that sticks to his face, but for him... There is still a hint of impression on the good-looking lip flap. ”

"Lonely rain... Among the three subordinate factions of the Mo family, the young family master who fought against you last? Qijin recalled.

Yan Mo: "That's right, it's him." ”

Qi Ming recalled: "In the last battle of the Mo family, I acted with the second master, and I really didn't see lonely rain during this period..."

Hearing the second master, Aoki Teru raised his head!

Yan Mo: "He's talking about my second uncle." ”

Aoki Hui nodded clearly, and thought: "In this way, Lonely Rain sent someone to leave this thing, did he want to connect with the big boss?" ”

"Quite possibly... It's just..."Yan Mo frowned, "As soon as that girl leaves, how will I know the whereabouts of Lonely Rain..."

Aoki Teru: "Since it's your old friend, and you know that we are rooted here, it won't be long before he takes the initiative to find you..."

"Don't worry." Qi Ming said gently, "I will send Lu Jiu to find out the source of the fragments as soon as possible, so that you can reunite as soon as possible." ”

Qi Jin stared at the fragment for a long time, his face was a little ugly, he lowered his eyes to hide his feelings, and sat silently.

"Ten years of life and death..."Yan Mo looked at the fragments and smiled, "There can still be such a harvest... What a blessing..."

Hearing this, the Qi brothers both flickered their eyelids, each with a hidden word, but they never spoke...

At this time, there was a glimmer of light in the sky, the beams and pillars in the courtyard began to be clear, Lan Bo, who got up early, packed up the side room, went out to prepare to serve the prince, came to the door of the bedroom, happened to hear the conversation of several people in the room, when he heard Yan Mo talk about the return of the old man, he couldn't help but be moved, moistened his eyes...

He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stood outside the door, and said, "Lord, what do you want to eat for breakfast today?" Subordinates prepare ingredients to go. ”

Hearing the human voice, Yan Mo subconsciously put away the mask fragments.

"Uncle Lan, prepare some light and delicious rice porridge, and two roast chickens, one for Yan'er and one for the imperial brother." Qi Ming did not shy away from it at all, and ordered directly.

Lan Bo bowed his head and went to prepare.

After Lan Bo's figure disappeared completely, Yan Mo spoke: "I was negligent just now, and I didn't even notice that there was someone outside..."

Qi Ming curled the corners of his lips and said, "He has been in Yan Ming Courtyard for so long, and you still haven't fully trusted him?" ”

Yan Mo: "The things mentioned before are irrelevant, they involve the Mo family... I had to guard against..."

Qi Ming: "Lan Bo, you can rest assured. ”

"Why do you trust him so much?" Yan Mo slanted.

Qi Ming smiled: "The people of this king, this king knows. ”

Hearing this, Qi Jin secretly looked at Aoki Hui, he was not worried about Brother Ming's house, but he was more worried about the second master who had no one to prove his life, and the other party just looked at Yan Mo and smiled slightly, as if he was really glad that Yan Mo still had the old people to contact...

After a while, Yan Mo came to the forest to practice morning exercises according to the usual practice, accompanied by Aoki Hui.

Thinking of the scene of Yanmo and the prince hugging each other in the early morning, Aoki Hui hesitated for a long time, but still asked: "Big boss, you and the prince... Could it be..."

Yan Mo quickly played a few tricks, collected the "branch sword", stood tall and said: "What is it? ”

Aoki Hui hesitated: "The prince looks... I seem to have a different kind of affection for you..."

Yan Mo looked at Xiaohe, remembered the starry sky and river lanterns last night, and said with a slight emotion: "So what? He's the future monarch, and I'm just a passer-by, and I'm a vengeance—" she paused before she said, "Not a good match. After that, she began to practice again, extremely devoted, and no longer spoken.

Aoki Hui showed a trace of pity in his eyes, and silently prayed in his heart, hoping that the flame of revenge would never be ignited...

After breakfast, Yan Mo had no choice but to follow Qi Ming back to the palace, and after receiving the reward, he had to enter the palace as soon as possible to thank him. The group was at the crossing to get on the carriage.

Yan Mo: "When I enter the palace to thank you, I will come back, Brother Aoki, I can rest assured that you will stay in the other courtyard." ”

Aoki Hui bowed his head and said, "Yes, big boss." ”

With the help of Feng Zhi, Qi Yun carried the sleeping Hanzi into another carriage with the futon, Zhu Shui followed into the car, and Lu Jiu was responsible for driving.

Aunt Kitchen handed Yan Mo a delicate food box: "I know that there is nothing lacking in the palace, but these are all things you love to eat, remember to come back and see more after finishing things!" After saying that, she immediately denied, "Look at me! It's time for the prince to be lonely! It's okay if you don't come back! She instructed with a hint of shyness.

Yan Mo glanced at Qi Ming, who was smiling, and said with fake flattery: "I know, Aunt Cook, the food box has been accepted, and I will come back as soon as possible!" ”

"What are you talking about~" Aunt Kitchen patted Yan Mo's arm, "This kid! Go ahead! ”

The guards glanced at Yan Mo twice, lowered their eyes and got into the car first, and after Qi Ming and Yan Mo entered the carriage, Lan Bo, who was sitting on the board, whipped and drank, and set off immediately!

Two horse-drawn carriages drove through the suburbs, through the bustling streets, and returned to the Yi'an Palace.

Qiu Bo heard the sound of horses' hooves and hurriedly greeted him: "Welcome the prince and princess back to the house." ”

Qi Ming led Yan Mo to get out of the car first, and the guards followed, and after everyone walked into the palace and settled their own homes, Qiu Bo followed Qi Ming to Yan Ming Courtyard.

"Lord Wang..."Qiu Bo was a little embarrassed, and it took him a long time before he said, "There is someone in the palace!" ”

Qi Ming was slightly surprised: "In the palace? ”

Qiu Bo glanced at Yan Mo next to him, and whispered to Qi Ming: "It's Mama, I'm here to teach the princess etiquette!" ”

"The grandmother selected by Concubine Wu?" Qi Ming raised an eyebrow on one side and said.

Qiu Bo nodded.

Qi Ming stopped and whispered to the guard: "The palace has sent a grandmother, and the imperial brother will go to Donglin Courtyard to change his clothes first." ”

The guard was slightly surprised, then nodded clearly, and went to Donglin Courtyard alone.

Qiu Bo glanced at Qi Ming, and after receiving the signal, he followed the guard.

Yan Mo looked innocent, she didn't know what was going on, and when she looked back and saw Qi Ming's playful expression, she frowned vigilantly.

Qi Ming chuckled and said, "Don't panic, concubine, you just need to be yourself~"

Yan Mo: "? ”

After Lan Bo and Lu Jiu set up the carriage, when they returned to Yan Ming Courtyard, they saw the wind and leaves fluttering, as if a ring battle was about to start!

Yan Mo put her hands behind her and stood upright, and there were four or five strong grandmothers standing opposite her!

Qi Ming stood not far behind Yan Mo, and after taking it with one hand, he was still smiling.

In Yan Mo's eyes, the grandmothers are naturally not terrible, but they are annoying, she thought that Qi Ming would help her, but she didn't expect His Royal Highness King Yi'an to say nothing or do anything!

"Fox... Ahem! Yan Mo put on a smile, "Why don't you come here when the prince is so idle..."

Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Qi Ming smiled lightly: "This king is sure that the concubine can handle it~"

"You...."Yan glanced at him indifferently, "...... "It's better to ask for others than for yourself!" She turned murderous and looked at the grandmothers!! The gaze is like seeing the prey, there is a god and a ferocity!

Out of a sense of survival, the grandmothers trembled three times and said tremblingly: "Your Majesty sent slaves and maids to teach etiquette..."

"Humph!" Yan Mo evoked a wicked smile, raised his chin and glanced at the other party!

A cold wind blows! Only one of the four or five grandmothers remained in place, and the others staggered backwards...

Yan Mo: "Huh? And a tough one? ”
