Chapter 3 Jinling

After crossing the border town of Pengcheng, he entered the territory of Southern Chu.

As we continued our journey south, the snow had dissipated and it felt much warmer.

The thousands of miles of river water in winter are still rolling and surging.

Jinling City, a beautiful place in the south of the Yangtze River, is already in sight.

"Wanwan, hold on a little longer, we'll be almost there."

Looking at Wanwan, who was already exhausted in her arms, Lianxin was very distressed, these days of running around have hurt this little girl.

"Oh."

"Aunt Lian, don't worry, Wanwan is fine."

is very sensible and graceful, and there is a stubbornness that is not like a child in his words.

"Hey."

Lianxin sighed softly, this child, who was only six years old, was going to leave her hometown with her and go away to another country.

"When you get to the city, Aunt Lian will buy you osmanthus cake."

Lianxin's eyes were full of love, and she said to her gently.

"Wow, really?"

Hearing that she was a little heartfelt, the little girl seemed to be swept away all her tiredness in an instant, and began to revive with full blood. There are stars shining in her eyes, and there is a touch of saliva running down the corners of her mouth, which looks extremely cute.

"This girl."

Seeing Wanwan's gluttonous appearance, Lianxin shook her head helplessly.

Jinling, the weather is magnificent, the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the characters are handsome, and the literature is prosperous. Here, it is known as the pivot of the world.

The thousand-year-old capital, ten miles of Qinhuai, countless Jiangnan beauties and talented people have composed one heart-warming story after another.

Here, there are many green buildings, painting boats, and fireworks nocturnes, all year round.

Fengqi Pavilion is located in one of them, a well-known one.

An ordinary green building has a phoenix character on its plaque, which was originally a taboo. But after a few years, Fengqi Pavilion is still prosperous, and there has never been any turmoil.

"Ah, it's Sister Lianxin who is back."

The little maid at the door was very sharp-eyed, and at a glance she saw the lotus heart in the crowd, leading the horse to this side.

"Yo, it's grass, it's all grown so tall."

Seeing the slightly excited little maid running over, Lianxin also recognized her at a glance. When she left, this girl's height was only up to her waist.

"Hmph."

"Sister Lianxin, you are so ruthless, you haven't come back to see us for so many years."

There was a hint of complaint in his tone, but as soon as he finished speaking, Xiaocao's gaze was attracted by the grace in Lian's heart. At this time, Wanwan was looking at her curiously with a pair of beautiful big eyes.

"What is this?"

Who is this cute little girl, Xiaocao's mind is full of questions.

"Let's go inside."

Lianxin didn't answer, handed the horse into Xiaocao's hands, and walked into Fengqi Pavilion by herself.

"Sister Lianxin is back."

A cry came, shocking the entire Fengqi Pavilion, and in an instant, everyone began to mess up.

"Ah, what are you pushing me to do?"

"Hey, where's my eyebrow pencil, gouache? Peony, why are you using me? You can't go back to your own room and use your own. ”

"Sister, sister, hurry up and help me see, do I look good?"

Lianxin sat downstairs, looking at the various snacks on the table, and handed some to Wanwan, who was already hungry in her arms.

"Sister Lianxin, long time no see."

"Sister Lianxin, you're finally back, but my sister misses you tightly."

"Sister Lianxin, I miss you so much."

Before she could sit down for a while, the sisters dressed up in fancy clothes began to run downstairs to her, and Lianxin was instantly surrounded by them.

Wanwan beside her also began to be unlucky, and the sisters pinched her cute little face one by one, and she was so frightened that she quickly drilled into Lianxin's arms.

"These beautiful women are terrible."

At this moment, this was the only thought in Wanwan's mind.

"Lianxin, you're back."

A graceful woman walked slowly towards her. Her eyes were gentle, and she looked at Lianxin and Wanwan in her arms.

All the sisters, at this time, relented a little, and slowly retreated backwards. Obviously, this woman is quite majestic in the Fengqi Pavilion.

"Lianxin has seen Mother Wu."

Lianxin let go of her grace, got up gently, and saluted respectfully to the woman.

"It's been so many years in the blink of an eye."

Wu's mother sighed, and her words were accompanied by a strong sense of longing.

"Who is this little girl?"

Looking at Wanwan who was following Lianxin, Mother Wu asked with some curiosity.

"Wanwan, come to Grandma Wu."

Lianxin took Wanwan's little hand and said to her encouragingly.

"Wanwan has seen Grandma Wu."

Wanwan stepped forward and saluted seriously, although she was a little immature, but she was very well-behaved.

"Hey, that's good."

Mother Wu stretched out her hand and gently touched Wanwan's little head, and praised her with a little kindness.

"Xiaocao, you take Wanwan back to the room to rest first."

Lianxin glanced at Xiaocao vaguely and commanded her.

"Okay."

Although Wanwan was a little reluctant to part with Lianxin, she was still very obedient and followed Xiaocao to leave here first.

"What's going on, tell me."

Lianxin came back suddenly this time, but for some reason, Wu's mother had a bad premonition in her heart.

Lianxin's gaze looked towards the door of Fengqi Pavilion, and the meaning was self-evident.

"Go and close the door, today, Fengqi Pavilion will no longer accept guests."

Mother Wu immediately understood what Lianxin meant, and commanded softly.

In the Fengqi Pavilion, all the sisters also knew that something big might happen, so they didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and waited quietly and silently.

Mother Wu sat on a chair, holding a teacup in her hand, staring at the lotus heart in front of her.

"Plop." As soon as she spoke, she saw Lianxin suddenly bend her knees and fall to the ground, and the tears in her eyes couldn't stop falling like broken threads.

"You."

Mother Wu stood up instantly, her face was a little ugly, and her hand holding the teacup was trembling violently.

All the sisters also seemed to feel something, their faces were pale, and they all got up together, looking at Lianxin who was kneeling and crying.

"Mother Wu, sisters, I'm sorry for you."

"I didn't protect the lord and the lady."

"They, they ......"

"Woo woo woo ......"

Lianxin couldn't talk anymore at this time, just knelt there and cried.

This way south, she is strong, unyielding, and indifferent, just because there is an obsession in her heart, she wants to bring Wanwan back safely.

But at this moment, she could no longer hide the fragility in her heart. All the grievances and pains erupted together in front of their loved ones.

"Bang."

Just now, Mother Wu already had a bad premonition in her heart, but she didn't dare to think about it at all.

At this time, she was very pale and expressionless. It's just that the teacup she held in her hand was broken, and in the blink of an eye, it was crumpled into a pile of powder by her.

"Who is it?"

Mother Wu's tone was very flat, and she asked Lianxin, who was still sobbing in a low voice.

"Who it is, Lianxin doesn't know."

"It's just that the old man seems to have expected it in his heart, and he ordered me to leave with Wanwan in advance."

Lianxin's heart was full of guilt at the moment, if it weren't for Wanwan who still needed her to bring it back, she would rather stay in Qingzhou and accompany the lord and his wife to die together.

"Wanwan."

"She's ......"

Mother Wu was a little excited, as if she was asking Lianxin, but she already had the answer in her heart.

"Hmm."

With tears hanging from the corners of her eyes, Lian Xin nodded gently.

All the sisters, at this moment, are hiding their faces and crying. That man, to them, was like faith, but now, faith suddenly collapsed.

"What clues do you have?"

"Even if it's just suspicion."

Although Wu Ma's tone was calm, it revealed a coldness to the bone.

"Where else do you need any clues?"

"Isn't that clear? Who is most afraid of the master? ”

"It must be the dog emperors of the Southern Chu, Western Jin, and Northern Yan Kingdoms who secretly instructed me, and I will go and pick their dog heads now to avenge the master."

A gorgeous woman dressed in purple, with tears still hanging on her face, said as she was about to snatch the door.

"Iris, are you crazy?"

A sister hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her hand to stop her from leaving.

"Yes, I'm just crazy, I can't wait to slaughter the whole world."

Iris roared hysterically.

"Without the master, how could there be this Fengqi Pavilion that sells his art and does not sell his body?"

"Why are you so famous? I'm afraid that many people don't remember it for a long time, right? ”

"You are greedy for life and afraid of death, but I am not afraid, at most I will go with him, and I can be regarded as a companion."

"Peony, you quickly get out of the way for me, otherwise, don't blame me for being unkind to you."

Iris looked at the peony that stopped in front of him, and roared in grief. At this time, she had already drawn the dagger quenched from her waist.

"You."

Peony was a little speechless when she was scolded, but she couldn't really let Iris leave, this short-tempered girl was definitely capable of running to the palace to assassinate her.

"Iris, you made it clear to me, what do you mean that we are greedy for life and afraid of death, but you are not afraid of death?"

"As far as you remember the kindness of the master, have we forgotten?"

"Don't argue, Iris, I'll go with you, kill one and count one."

"I'll go."

"I'll go too."

Peony watched the sisters become more and more excited, clamoring to go with Iris to assassinate. Her head is big, and it's not that she can't stop it.

"Alright, sit down honestly for me."

Mother Wu roared heavily, and her eyes glared at the noisy sisters, especially the most ferocious Iris.

"Hmph."

Iris snorted heavily, but she didn't make any more noise to leave, and she sat back in her chair resentfully.

The other sisters didn't continue to argue, they all lowered their heads and sat down honestly.

"Isn't there the slightest clue?"

Mother Wu moved her gaze to Lianxin again, expectantly asked.

"After I took Wanwan out of Qingzhou City, I met Deadpool on the road to intercept and kill, and they were all very good."

This was the only clue that Lianxin could provide, although she didn't know who these people were, and who they were instructed by.

"I suspect that Yanyulou may have been involved, but I don't have any evidence."

Lianxin said the doubts in her heart, then looked at Wu's mother, waiting for her to make a decision.

"Smoke and rain building?"

Wu's mother didn't answer, just muttered to herself, and then began to bow her head and close her eyes in contemplation.

Half a month later, a piece of news shocked the world.

Yanyulou, this terrifying killer organization, was destroyed overnight. The body of the landlord Jiang Xiao was nailed to the city wall of the south gate of Qingzhou City.

No one knows who did it.

The New Year is approaching, but some people are not half happy.

At the moment, they are on pins and needles.
