"Haolin, you have learned badly, you will never treat me like this!" Xue Ruitian expressed his dissatisfaction, "When did your mouth become so poisonous?" ”

"I've always been like this, I just don't know it." Shen Haolin looked at Xia Jiu, who was following Jin Miaomiao and Hongye to learn boxing, "You, you should really care about your brother, after the prince heard you say that thing, he was sad all afternoon, and he was coquettish with Cha'er just now!" ”

"He's just looking for a chance to be coquettish." Xue Ruitian rolled his eyes helplessly, "He is just a child, children know what to be sad or not sad, sad or not sad, their emotional changes are very fast, a gust of wind and rain, the front foot is unhappy, the back foot is happy, there is no rule to follow at all!" He raised his chin, "Look, isn't that a good play?" Where can you tell when you're sad about an afternoon? ”

"Look at yourself, where is a little bit like being someone else's brother? I don't care about my brother's feelings at all! Shen Haolin pursed his lips in disgust, saw that he had drunk another bowl of wine, and persuaded, "Drink less, maybe you will have to carry the red leaves back in a while." ”

"A red leaf, a golden seedling, these two girls are simply addicted to alcohol, and they die when they see wine. You don't see it, and before the table is opened, a jar of wine is empty. But......" Xue Ruitian smiled mysteriously, "Don't worry, the two of them will definitely not get drunk today!" ”

"So sure? Did you do anything in the wine? Shen Cha squinted, "Be careful that they will clean you up after they find out!" ”

"Even if you come, will this marquis be afraid of the two little girls?" Xue Ruitian rubbed beside Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and said mysteriously, "Let's not talk about this for now, I have a very important question for you, have you ever heard of the Desert Flower before?" ”

"Desert flowers?" Shen Haolin shook his head slightly, "What is it?" I haven't heard of it at all. ”

"I know." Seeing that Shen Haolin and Xue Ruitian were all looking at him, Shen Cha lowered his voice and explained, "When I was young, I listened to what the master said. ”

"Master? Jin Miaomiao's master, Master Huilan? ”

"Hmm!" Shen Cha nodded, "At that time, the master was afraid that I would be bored lying in bed, so he told me a lot about what he saw and heard when he was young. When the master was young, he went to many, many places and saw many anecdotes, and this desert flower is one of the most mysterious. ”

"So, is this desert flower really a flower?" Shen Haolin touched his chin, "The kind that grows naturally?" ”

"Yes, it's that kind of flower, it's unique to the northern desert, and it's said to have magical powers. There was once a rumor that people who possess desert flowers can see the people or things they most desire to see in their hearts, but the legend is just a legend, and no one has really seen this flower with magical powers. When the master was young, he also had the idea of looking for the desert flower, so he found an opportunity to go to the desert. When he was walking in the Northland Desert, he once met an old man and asked him about the rumors about this flower. The old man said that the desert flower is indeed real, and there is a very large ancient city in the deepest part of the desert, and there is a small pond in the underground palace of the ancient city, and the desert flower is planted in the pond. But the master searched for a long, long time, but he couldn't find the location of this ancient city, so he had to give up. Shen Cha looked at Xue Ruitian, "Brother Xiaotian, how do you know about the Desert Flower?" How did you remember to ask this? ”

"When I go back at noon, I want to look for ......" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, "You know, I was looking for clues that could prove some changes in the past, but I didn't find it." Since that incident, we have been in contact with each other less, and there has been no contact other than the annual annual gift. It's just that...... I found a map in my father's codex, and the place on it was probably the ancient city that the master said, because my father drew a flower on the ancient city. So, I have a bold guess...... Xue Ruitian approached Shen Haolin and Shen Cha, and said in as low a voice as possible, "Your father, my father, and the two who sat on the top have already been there." ”

"Have they been? How could you think that? Shen Haolin frowned slightly, "Is there any hint in the old marquis's codex about this?" ”

"I don't know if it's a hint." Xue Ruitian picked up the wine cup, took a sip, and said, "On the page with this map, my father wrote a paragraph on it, which probably means that he has uncovered a mystery that has plagued him for many, many years, although this truth is very painful for him, but the past has passed, what he has to do is to cherish the present and live a good life." And this passage was written three months before that incident, so ......" Xue Ruitian sighed, "Although you have been urging me to think in a good direction, I ...... now"

"What you mean is that Uncle Xue has always suspected that Uncle Xue has a relationship with Prince Jin, but he has not found conclusive evidence to prove this before. He accidentally learns of the existence of the Desert Flower, so he goes to find the Desert Flower and learns the truth about the problem that has been bothering him all along. And this truth is very likely to confirm his suspicion, he is very painful and rational, and decides to abandon the past, regardless of past suspicions, and continue to live a loving life with his uncle's mother. Seeing Xue Ruitian nodding, Shen Cha turned his head to look at Qin Zheng and Yan Bo again, "Isn't it possible that you are referring to something else?" ”

"Probably not." Xue Ruitian denied, "The first few codex on this page and every page after this page record content related to feelings. Otherwise, I wouldn't have decided that the truth he said had something to do with his mother. You say...... Am I my daddy's son? ”

"Nonsense, you look so similar to the old marquis, how can you not be his son?" Shen Cha rolled his eyes, "Thinking too much!" ”

"Cha'er is right, you just think too much, and that's your biggest problem. Since Cha'er said that this thing is real, let's go and find it. Shen Haolin patted Xue Ruitian and comforted, "But before looking for it, we also have to do relevant homework, after all, none of us have been to the deepest part of the desert, and we must be fully prepared." Otherwise......" Shen Haolin paused slightly, "Uncle Qin just said that we are the backbone of Jiaping Guancheng, and every move is related to the safety of the city, so we must not act recklessly." Therefore, in the short term, it will not be possible. ”

"It doesn't matter when you go, after all, we've been waiting for so many years, and we're not afraid of this moment. Besides, I didn't put all my hopes on this little desert flower. Of course, it's good to be able to find it, but it doesn't matter if you can't find it. Xue Ruitian nodded, "I'm just thinking, the two of them ......" he looked at Qin Zheng and Yan Bo, "What role did they play in the past, whether it was the flower of the desert or the truth of the events back then, they should all know, but their choice was to keep quiet, what was difficult to hide." ”

"If all the contents recorded in the old marquis's codex are related to Aunt Xue's feelings...... I can understand why they keep their mouths shut, although they are good brothers, but good brothers' housework, they can't interfere, and they are not qualified to talk about it, after all, they are bystanders, not part of the story. And the most important point......" Shen Haolin sighed, "Family ugliness should not be publicized, understand?" ”

"Well, if you say that, I think it's understandable." Xue Ruitian pouted, "Go on, I have other discoveries." Besides the Desert Flower, there was something else in that ancient city. I found a mezzanine in the map, and there was a map in it, I looked at it carefully, and estimated that it was a treasure map, and the place where the treasure was hidden was in the ancient city. However, I suspect that if they had gone, they would have only found the Desert Flower, and the place where the treasure was hidden was not found, or else ......."

"Perhaps, the treasure map was discovered by accident after they returned from the ancient city. After discovering it, they also wanted to go again to see what secrets were still hidden in this ancient city, but because of something delayed, they never made it again. ”

"Brother, Brother Xiaotian, these are not the point." Shen Cha waved his hand, "Treasures and desert flowers, we can all throw them aside, let's find out where this ancient city is first." I can't even find the ancient city, what desert flowers, what treasures, all of them are whimsical! She reached out and patted Xue Ruitian on the shoulder, "You have to keep a normal heart, Brother Xiaotian, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment!" ”

"I will!" Xue Ruitian nodded, "I also believe in you, you will not let me down!" ”

"What doesn't disappoint? You guys are really, but you're going to be quiet! ”

The three people who were chatting very much looked up when they heard the voice, and saw Momiji and Jin Miaomiao coming over with wine glasses.

"Aren't you two having a good time over there?" Xue Ruitian raised his eyebrows, "Why did you come here?" ”

"Those boys are really noisy, noisy and yelling, my head is loud from them, let's come over and wake up." Jin Miaomiao pulled the red leaves and sat opposite Shen Cha, "But, it's very strange, why do I think today's wine is particularly strange?" The two of us drank three jars, and there was no taste of wine at all, did Your Majesty mix water with wine? ”

Shen Haolin and Shen Cha looked at Xue Ruitian who turned around and snickered at the same time, and shook their heads helplessly, it was not His Majesty who poured water into the wine, it was this Hou Ye.

Jin Miaomiao and Hongye saw Shen Haolin and Shen Cha's reactions, and instantly understood what was going on, the two of them put down the wine cup in their hands, and one of them picked up a cushion and threw it towards Xue Ruitian.

Xue Houye saw that the situation was not right, quickly leaned back, dodged the attack of the cushion, and took advantage of the fact that Hongye and Jin Miaomiao had not made the next move, quickly jumped up from the ground, and began to run around the house. Jin Miaomiao and Momiji's movements are not slow, and they chase after them with cushions, and a fierce chase race begins. The group of people who were originally drawing fists were immediately attracted by these three people, clapping their palms to cheer Jin Miaomiao and Hongye screaming, and some even took the opportunity to stumble and set up obstacles for Xue Ruitian.

"Boring!" Shen Haolin shook his head, "Childish! ”

Shen Cha smiled and nodded in agreement, seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by Xue Houye, she glanced at Ying Wu.

"Boss!" Ying Wu quickly ran to Shen Cha's side, "What are your orders?" ”

"Come here with your ears!" Shen Cha whispered a few words in Ying Wu's ear, "Quietly go and check, don't be discovered!" ”

"Yes!"
