Chapter 20: Meeting on a narrow road, Wu Anjun returns to Beijing

"Fengtian transported, Emperor Zhao said: Admiral Wei Sique led his troops to attack Xiliang in the north and defeated it for 300 miles. Breaking through 60,000 enemy troops with thousands of elite cavalry, I am very relieved, and Qing has made immortal achievements. I am very fortunate, the people are very fortunate, and the country is very fortunate. From now on, he will be crowned as Wu Anjun. Command the three armies, and reward the whole army with a million taels of gold. โ€

The crowd was in an even more uproar, Wu Anjun - no one expected such a big honor. Since the founding of Beixiang, there are very few people who have been awarded this title, and there are only a handful.

Many young women covered their lips with handkerchiefs and squinted their eyes into the marching procession. His eyes were full of envy and longing, and he wanted to meet this young king.

After the neighing of a horse, the night was as cold as water. A cold voice, as if coming from an ancient and deep wellโ€”a cold air, with a sense of arrogance and coldness.

"Minister Wei Sique leads the order, thank you Lord Longen."

The herald handed the holy decree to the man in front of him, and explained the emperor's original words with a smile.

"The Holy Lord understands that the king marched all the way and was tired. You don't have to enter the palace, as the reward has already been delivered to the palace in advance. โ€

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness."

"In this way, Weichen will return to the palace first."

With that, the herald rode away.

Under the pampering, extreme glory, and the power of the sky...... Today, the people in Shengjing saw it with their own eyes and sighed.

In the carriage, Jiang Xiaogongzi called Duanmu Xihua one by one.

"Cousin, cousin, cousin!"

"Well, what's wrong."

Jiang Lanhe looked curious.

"What did you just think about so distractedly, I called you several times and didn't answer."

What do you think...... The voice was so deep that she remembered that she had seen its owner.

King Nan'an had not issued a ban on sealing the backyard at that time, after the tragedy of the Xie family's destruction and Xie Jiusi's disappearance. Every day she would go to Xie's house to have a look, until a month later.

That day, the door of Xie Mansion opened a corner, and she couldn't help herself from the surprise at first-is he okay and back.

So she carried a tumultuous heart and carefully walked with a catwalk. Leaned sideways into the open corner door, for fear of disturbing the people inside.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a zigzag verandah, and the stones under the steps are spread into a road. There are large and dense purple magnolia trees growing around, and when the wind blows, the falling flowers are colorful, and the flowers are full of red. Eight banyan trees surround the wall and circle around the doorway, lush and verdant, and the spots of light and shadow are staggered and hit the feet.

People go to tea to cool down, and now the scenery of Xie Mansion has not changed at all. It's just that because of the lack of people, the courtyard that used to look elegant and ancient became dilapidated and desolate.

It is not the charm of this mansion, but the vitality of the people who live in this mansion.

Suppress your mood swings and walk a few miles ahead. There are two or three main halls, one bright and two dark, and there are tables and chairs in them. There was no one, she patiently looked through all three halls, but there was still no trace.

Further inside, there was the inner courtyard of the deep house, she clenched her fist. Step on the steps and go around to the backyard of the main hall, where a trickle of clear spring swirls bamboo, and the ditch is only a few feet, winding to the front - the citrus pavilion.

Behind the bluestone rockery, she vaguely heard the human voice, and she was happy in her heart.

"Xie Jiusi."

With her voice tensed, she shouted, but no one responded. But she clearly heard the movement, and even saw a little figure.

"Xie Jiusi."

She shouted again, but no one answered. Duanmu Yuhua frowned and walked over boldly.

The cold voice rang out as she approached, and his tone was full of the majesty of the superior.

"Stand there, don't come here."

She looked over and saw the man in the dark robe standing with his back to him with a sword in his hand. The underground is a scattered burden, scattered out of the Xie family's power wrench, some documents.

What's going on? A strange man appeared in the inner courtyard of the Xie family, and the objects on the ground were all important tokens of the Xie family. The motive for doing this is very wrong, she must find out the truth.

Duanmu Xihua continued to walk forward, at least she had to put away these things that belonged to the Xie family first, she thought.

"Stand there, don't come here."

The man's voice sounded again, coldly warning her.

She didn't, she had to go over and see what the hell this person was up to.

In the next moment, the man was only a few steps away. The scene in front of him suddenly changed dramatically, the bluestone rockery was gone, the rows of wings I had just seen were gone, and the stacks of pavilions were gone......

The whole ground is tilted to one side, and the steps are unsteady. The whole person shook and almost fell.

After relieving himself, Duanmu Yuhua looked at everything in front of him in disbelief.

Now she was in a dense magnolia forest, with seven paths branching out into the woods. Eight towering banyan trees can be seen in the distance, and a few spots of sunlight leak through the gaps.

Isn't this the view of the main courtyard before? How did you end up here...... There was also an earthquake, but there was no crack......

Duanmu Xihua was stunned and walked forward along one of the roads. Obviously, the banyan tree is ahead, but the road in the distance seems to have no end at all. She turned around, turned around and went a different way, and finally returned to the original point in a daze.

"Don't waste your efforts, this is the formation laid out."

The man turned around, tall and elegant. He was dressed in a dark robe, with elegant snow-white piping of bamboo leaf patterns on his cuffs, which complemented the mutton fat and jade hairpins in his hair. Holding a sword in both hands, hanging a delicate waist, and having a compelling bearing.

Looking up, on his handsome face, a pair of pupils were three points darker than ordinary people. It didn't seem to shine a trace of light, and it was dark to an eerie hue. Just looking at these eyes, you have to unconsciously sink into them.

He stood there like a tall and green pine. The temperament is extremely cold, like the frozen snow that cannot be melted in the Tianshan Mountains.

Looking at this person, it was like a basin of water on his head in winter. Before he could make a move, it froze. This person is easy to discourage people with a warm heart.

But Duanmu Xihua is different, she has a fire burning in her heart, and she moves forward without hesitation.

"What are you doing in Xie Mansion?"

About the first time someone asked in such a tone, the man in Xuanyi was stunned for a moment.

"What are you doing in Xie Mansion?"

She asked again without fear of death, completely ignoring the situation of the two at the moment. A woman with no hands to tie a chicken, a man with a sword in one hand.

The man in the dark clothes looked at the bright girl in red in front of him, and somehow thought of the flame lily he raised.
