This spring was particularly rainy.

The heavy rain poured straight three watches, and it turned light in the second half of the night, and the banana leaves were beating and beating, and the five watches rested.

It stopped for a while, and then there was a loud thunderstorm, and the black and oppressive ink clouds piled up in the southwest sky, like lead, as if they were going to be crushed by this day.

The sky will be bright and dark, not like daytime. Only a silver snake appeared in the ink cloud, and when the waist was twisted, the heaven and earth suddenly brightened up a little. The intertwined silver light whiskers gripped into the depths of the dark clouds, as if the silver snake was about to turn into a dragon, and suddenly stretched out countless tentacles.

Teeth and claws, the end of the hideous.

Before a few rainstorms came.

The rain that fell destroyed the world, beat the flowers and leaves, and a osmanthus tree in front of the door was broken into several pieces. As far as the eye can see, there is only a vast white vapor.

Mu Dianke was clothed and scattered, and had been standing in front of the door for a long time.

Zhaoyang didn't know how many times he walked behind her and called softly: "Girl, it's time to eat." ”

Mu Dianke finally turned his head this time and looked at Zhaoyang, his eyes were a little wandering, and he looked very unfamiliar.

Zhaoyang was a little scared when he saw it, and he softened the tone more and more, and whispered: "Girl? ”

Mu Dianke came back to his soul and turned around and entered the house.

Zhaohui has already laid out the meal. Mu Dian didn't have much appetite, just a plate of vinegar cabbage and drank white rice porridge. When I saw a plate of potato flour cake sprinkled with sesame seeds on the side, I couldn't help but be stunned.

Zhaoyang's eyes followed her eyes, and when he saw this, he smiled and said, "This is the newly made dim sum in the kitchen, which is said to be a local method." ”

Mu Dian was silent, and put a piece of potato flour cake into his mouth, soft and glutinous, similar to the taste he ate in Qingshui Town, but with a little more astringency.

As I ate, my throat choked a little.

Xu Younan is here again.

The wind and rain were strong, and he held up an oil-paper umbrella that was not very wide, and he didn't see his wet clothes. When he walked, he still had his robe sleeves sprinkled, like an immortal who had risen to the wind.

still made a pot of Pu'er strong tea, ate flower cakes, and said with a smile: "I heard that Qingxiu came to you for her reluctance to go to Su's house." I was also a girl under you, and you have a lot more affection for her than for Yanming. ”

Mu Dian didn't raise his head and said: "As an elder, I think you are much more uncomfortable than Qu Ya." ”

Xu Younan sipped tea with a smile, looking unconcerned. His gaze turned away, glancing over the faces of Zhaoyang and Zhaohui.

The two of them retreated.

Xu Younan said: "The Tan family reported the funeral news yesterday, and Tan Zhou's mother passed away. ”

Mu Dian was slightly stunned, although it was nearly ten days late, the news given by Mu Zijian was true after all.

Tan Zhou really used his mother's life and death to set a trap for Jin Yanchen.

Xu Younan added: "It's a real mourning." I guess Tan Zhou knew that his mother's deadline was approaching, and drafted a period of the eighth day of the first month, which happened to be discovered by Mu Zijian's secret agent, so he had the saying that he lost his mother on the eighth day of the first month.

According to the normal speed of travel, Tan Zhou rushed back in about January, and after January, all the people from all walks of life also gathered in Chuzhou. Wait for your brother to throw himself into the net.

It's just that in recent days, even the rain has been raining, and many plank roads have been washed away all the way from Jiangnan to Luoyang. If you want to deliver the news to Luoyang, you have to spend more than a month, not to mention.

From Luoyang to Chuzhou, even if the road is restored, it will take ten days and a half months to speed up.

This back and forth, at least forty or fifty days. ”

Then it also means that the day when the Ming Palace and Tan Zhou really competed would be at least forty days later.

But this is only based on the premise that the Ming Palace did not know about this, and Tan Zhou's conspiracy could be carried out smoothly.

The news came from Mu Zijian.

But the question is, can Mu Zijian be trusted?

Take a step back, even if Mu Zijian harms her heart. Tan Zhou didn't have a little defense against Mu Zijian? Let him spy on such confidential information and transfer it to himself?

The truth is blurred and difficult to determine.

Mu Dianke muttered: "Is it possible that Tan Zhou already knows that we have seen through his game?" ”

Xu Younan smiled: "It's possible, it's true or false, doesn't he like to play this set the most?" ”

Mu Dianke lowered his eyebrows, thinking in his heart about the day when Tan Zhou left Luoyang.

Counting the time, it's time to go to Jiangnan.

Suddenly raised his head and asked, "Where is Tan Zhou now?" ”

Xu Younan said with some regret: "Out of Luoyang, the Jinyi Store lost people. ”

This is the first time that Jinyi has suffered such a big mistake. But because the opponent is Tan Zhou, it is not a great shame.

Mu Dianke bowed his head again and stopped talking.

After a moment of silence, he asked, "What is he going to do?" ”

If Tan Zhou really arrived in Chuzhou ahead of schedule, then Chuzhou City at this moment must be in full swing, and there are dangers lurking everywhere. Jin Yanchen must not be allowed to go rashly.

Tan Zhou said: "Ning Yu asked him to meet on the Qinhuai River in three days. ”

Mu Dianke raised his eyebrows and said, "Ning Yu? ”

First, Rong Yi arranged troops on the wasteland, wanting to take her and Jin Yanchen, and followed the Su family to the tragedy of the year. Now the Ning family is also here to join in the fun.

Jiankang's four surnames of Fang Rong and Suning are now alive.

Xu Younan said: "The snow lotus you took during your illness was sent by Ning Yunfeng, the seventh son of the Ning family. Ning Yu sent his own son here, which shows his sincerity, so your brother plans to go and meet him for a while. ”

And he said, "I'll go too." ”

The water in Jiankang City is too muddy, and it is always right to bring Xu Younan. Mu Dianke said: "Then I will take Qu Ya"

"Qu Ya will go too." Xu Younan said: "What your brother means is to let you stay still, stay here and don't go anywhere, and wait for him to come back." ”

There is already an undercurrent surging in the city of Chuzhou, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and it is useless to blindly sit at home and speculate.

Mu Dian still wants to go to Chuzhou.

Of course, it is useless to say this to Xu Younan, you have to tell Jin Yanchen.

I lowered my head and picked up a piece of potato flour cake, put it to my mouth and chewed it slowly.

Xu Younan said again: "The one who killed you in Qingshui Town was a person named Pei Lian. This person originally lived in Pingyang County, Shanxi, and for some reason half a year ago, his family suddenly moved to Luoyang...... On Chinese New Year's Eve last year, he secretly went to the cemetery to light a lamp for the alliance leader, and was noticed by the brocade hang. It is said that this man has a scarred face and a disfigured appearance, and I guess it is an old man who knows each other......"

Mu Dian seemed to be listening, but not like he was listening, and said a faint "hmm", motioning for him to continue.

Xu Younan said again: "Pei Lin went to Qingshui Town, it seems that he is going to meet someone. After Qu Ya entered the town, he found that there were spies haunting, and when he checked the past, Pei Lin had already obtained the news in advance and fled.

It is the Tang fence that ventilates the message. Qu Ya has always relied on him, Xu was so angry that he was killed on the spot. ”

Mu Dian could hear the regret in his tone, and said lightly: "The people trained by Mu Cangping are so cautious. Tang Li's knowledge is bound to be limited, and if he is killed, he will be killed, what else do you expect from his mouth? ”

Xu Younan looked at Mu Dianke and smiled: "There is one thing I don't understand very well. Qu Yuer robbed your fiancé, shouldn't you hate her? Why are you not far from her, but close, and even Qu Ya is protected by you? ”
