After walking less than two steps, he heard the sound of armor in front of him, and a group of soldiers rushed over, and someone must have gone to report to the official.

The person leading the troops was precisely the cousin of a side branch of Ye Xinyi, who was also the son of the Xia family, and he was stunned when he saw the two of them.

Only Shen Yue's murderous aura made people shudder.

The cousin who bumped into him stopped, wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, and his expression froze for a moment.

Fortunately, there is also a Ye Xinyi on the side. She was gently pulled by Shen Yue's hand, Shen Yue stopped walking, just stood aside with a cold face, and didn't leave directly without giving face immediately.

Ye Xinyi took a step forward and bent his knees and shouted, "Cousin? There was only a slight hesitation in his tone, there were too many sons and daughters of the Xia family. Even those Ye Xinyi of the Yan branch still can't recognize it, not to mention that this one is only at the family banquet, and she has seen it twice from afar, and she only has a slight impression.

The cousin was a knowledgeable one, hugging his fists and saying, "Xia Di! Ranked seventeenth in the clan, he worked as an errand in the prefect's yamen. I just heard that someone came to report that there were people fighting here, so I came to take a look, but I didn't expect it to be you. ”

Ye Xinyi was a little puzzled in his heart, he had been in Chengdu Mansion for so long, not to mention anything else, this security was much better than that of the capital.

"We came out of the Han Zhaolie Temple and ate a bowl of tofu brain at that stall, who knows, the tofu brain was poisoned, the assassin had committed suicide by poisoning, and the stall owner also fainted." Ye Xinyi raised his hand and pointed behind him, but when he looked at Xia Di again, he smiled apologetically.

"Seventeenth cousin, I'm sorry, we still have something to do, we have to take the first step, and the next thing will be Seventeenth Cousin Lao, if there is any progress, please let Seventeenth Cousin know one or two."

Ye Xinyi bent his knee lightly towards Xia Di, and even Shen Yue nodded to Xia Di with dignity, which led Ye Xinyi to stride away.

Ye Xinyi didn't ask him where he was going to take him, even if she saw that she was neither going to General's Mansion Street nor Yujia Lane, or even going further and further away, she just followed silently.

Suddenly it rained again, and it was already rainy in the summer and autumn in Shudi, and it was also common to say it when it was like now.

It's just that today's rain is a bit heavy, and the pedestrians on the road have begun to speed up their pace, Shen Yue has been thinking about the general absent-mindedness, and he didn't notice it at first, until this time he was alarmed by the actions of passers-by, frowned, raised his head to look at the sky, and then pulled Ye Xinyi and began to walk quickly, and after a while, he turned into an alley.

He took her three or two steps and rushed to the eaves of the family, looked up and saw that her sideburns were already half wet, and her face was even more gloomy, he took out a handkerchief from his cuffs, and hurriedly helped her wipe it, while wiping, his eyebrows were even more annoyed, "It's raining, why don't you remind me?" ”

"I think you want to be so focused on things that I can't bear to disturb you. It's just a little rain, and I'm not the one who can't help the wind, and the drenching is not in the way at all. And, I think, it's nice to walk in the rain with you. Ye Xinyi smiled, lined with her slightly wet hair, her eyes were even more wet, and Shen Yue's heart palpitated.

The sound of the rain was like a note, and puddles of water soon accumulated on the road, and the rainy alley was no longer human, so when the gentle footsteps fell on the ears, even if they were mostly covered by the sound of the rain, they fell on the ears of these two people with excellent ear strength, it was still abruptly tight.

Shen Yue's face sank like water, and he raised his eyes to look at the mouth of the alley where the footsteps came. Even though his face was dignified and silent, Ye Xinyi was still keenly aware of the tension between his expressions, looking forward to it, but apprehensive.

A figure slowly paced at the mouth of the alley, hemp gray straight, in the rain curtain, indifferently like a touch of ink, an oil-paper umbrella in his hand was pressed low, and only a line of graceful curvature of the jaw and lip line was faintly exposed under the eaves of the umbrella, Ye Xinyi looked at it, but his heart was shocked.

But that person seemed to be carrying the smoke and rain of the south of the Yangtze River, walking from the end of time and space, like a dream.

Finally, it slowly settled in front of them, two steps apart, and stopped.

The sound of rain is endless, falling on the roof tiles, on the oil-paper umbrellas, some light and some heavy, stretching into a piece.

But it was as if everything here had come to a standstill, only the sound of rain.

Shen Yue finally opened his mouth, his voice was low, as if he was also soaked in rain, revealing a faint hoarseness, "Are you finally willing to show up?" ”

"Didn't you come all the way here to lure me in? If I don't come, I'm afraid you're going to mobilize the people and turn the entire Chengdu Mansion over, and at that time, I can't hide it if I want to. The voice from under the umbrella was unfamiliar, as if it had been ground by a rough stone, dry and rough, but it was also familiar, it was the voice that reminded them of the poison in the tofu brain.

"Your voice?" Shen Yue's hand on Ye Xinyi's wrist trembled slightly, and his voice was still stable, but it was several degrees lower than usual.

The man paused slightly, and the knuckles of the hand holding the handle of the oil-paper umbrella turned white due to the exertion, as if he was stiff for a moment, and then finally slowly lifted the eaves of the umbrella.......

Shen Yue and Ye Xinyi both held their breath, watching intently as the faces under the umbrella appeared inch by inch, Ye Xinyi felt that his chest was beaten a little by the tight beating of the atrium, and most of that face was finally revealed, it was the person they thought they would never see again.

Ye Xinyi couldn't help but be overjoyed, but before the joy jumped to his eyebrows, he suddenly froze, "Third brother...... Your face ......"

That's right, third brother! The person who came was the scholar, or rather, it was Xia Yanfeng, the Xia family's grandson, Xia Changhe and the only biological son of the step-wife Yu, Xia Sangongzi, Xia Shilang is also. The man who thought he had died in the capital, in a fire, beyond recognition.

At this moment, he stood in front of them alive, but on a clear face, there was an extra scar, from the back of the ear to the cheek, spreading to the corner of the eye, the size of half a palm, uneven, Xu had just taken off the scab, and his hair was white, as if he had been burned with a soldering iron.

Ye Xinyi couldn't help but gasp and exclaimed.

Shen Yue on the side tensed up for a moment.

"I don't look like a ghost or a ghost, I didn't want to come out and be scary again." Cheyenne lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.

"When did you become such a? A big man, what face do you care about? It's just a scar, and you're really gone? Shen Yue's tone was flat and natural, when the words fell, he let go of the hand holding Ye Xinyi's wrist in Xia Yanfeng's stunned eyes, walked into the rain curtain in a few big steps, came under the umbrella, raised his hand, patted Xia Yanfeng's arm heavily, a pair of lacquered eyes stared at him, thousands of words were in the bottom of his eyes, but his voice was hoarse, "Okay!" It's good to be alive! ”

A quarter of an hour later, the few of them were already sitting in an ordinary house, not far from this rainy alley. It's just three tiled houses, a small courtyard a few feet square, and it's simple everywhere.
