Yao Jingnian was attacked by bandits, and his whereabouts are unknown?

Xue Yingge's first reaction was, what is Yao Jingnian's plan this time?

In short, Xue Yingge would not believe that Yao Jingnian would be easily calculated no matter what.

After many years of painstaking planning, Yao Jingnian has always acted cautiously, except for that trip to the lake and was chased and killed by Song Guifei's people, Yao Jingnian has never been so embarrassed.

Xue Yingge didn't take this news to heart, and it was obvious that even though the mysterious person repeatedly emphasized that he wanted Gu Xingzhi to kill Yao Jingnian, Gu Xingzhi just smiled at Yao Jingnian - now they don't have any intersection.

The news brought by Yuan Hong made Jiang Yan feel hearted, and he asked, "Yao Jingnian is on his way to Changshan County, but are there other people accompanying him?" ”

Yuan Hong pondered for a moment before replying: "This time Yao Jingnian only brought some entourage, but according to the news of the spies, only the remains of his entourage and bandits were found on the road, and because of the wild wolves' gnawing, it was no longer possible to see the original state, and it could only be judged by clothing." ”

Jiang Yan pondered for a moment before asking, "What is the only route to Changshan?" ”

"That's the way to go."

After Jiang Yan didn't ask again, Yuan Hong found Xue Yingge and said, "This is the embroidery thread that Bi Kite asked me to bring to her from Shushan last time, I may have to leave again, and I hope my cousin will hand it over on my behalf." ”

Xue Yingge was silent for a moment and said, "You come with me, and hand over this thing to her personally." ”

Yuan Hong didn't think about it, so he followed Xue Yingge directly.

It's just that he didn't expect Xue Yingge to ride a horse with him outside the city, seeing that the night was getting heavier and heavier, and Yuan Hong's heart was getting heavier and heavier.

"Cousin, you tell me, Bi Kite she ......"

Xue Yingge dismounted and said to Yuan Hong: "Her tombstone is there, you say goodbye to her." ”

Yuan Hong clutched the embroidery thread in his hand tightly, and after a long time, he walked step by step to the tombstone of Bi Kite.

Jiang Yan walked in front of Xue Yingge, but Xue Yingge's eyes were blank, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"It's not your fault that the matter of the blue kite."

Xue Yingge covered his face with his hands: "If, if I am not so self-righteous, maybe Bi Kite doesn't have to die." ”

"There's nothing wrong with you bringing out the people behind the scenes." Jiang Yan comforted Xue Yingge and said, "I know that you have given Bi Kite a chance, but she herself is not sure, so after learning that you let Yuan'er pretend to enter the brewery, she still decided to use this to frame Yuan'er to get out." ”

Xue Yingge wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and said: "Yes, it was I who told Bi Kite that he needed to add osmanthus powder for a thousand days of drunkenness, and I also deliberately let people pretend to be Yuan'er to enter the wine shop, and I happened to let Bi Kite see that everything is just to invite you into the urn and plan it will be calculated." ”

Jiang Yan stood with his hands behind his back: "You can't predict the prophet, and you can't predict the death of Bi Kite, so you don't need to carry everything on yourself, Bi Kite's death was an accident, but this accident was not caused by you." ”

"But I often think that if I tell me that Bi Kite is abnormal, I will directly question her, instead of trying to find out the person behind it, is she ......?"

"You don't have to think about it anymore." Jiang Yan took out a jade wrench and handed it to Xue Yingge, although Xue Yingge was puzzled, he still reached out to pick it up, but he didn't expect Jiang Yan to directly cover his hand, making the jade wrench fall to the ground and make a crisp sound.

Xue Yingge was surprised, and he didn't seem to be able to guess why Jiang Yan did this.

"As you can see, in this case, do you blame yourself for not expecting me to drop the wrench, or should you blame me for why I dropped the wrench?"

Xue Yingge suddenly brightened: "Yes, instead of blaming yourself, it is better to think about how to find out who is behind the scenes." Throwing a rat bogey is a taboo, and I can't deny myself because of Bi Kite's death, and I can spare the murderer behind the scenes. ”

"If only you could figure it out." Jiang Yan picked up the wrench on the ground and said, "Although this wrench has been broken, it is not completely damaged, only there are cracks, if I want, I can also make it into a beautiful gold inlaid jade." ”

Xue Yingge looked at Yuan Hong in the distance and said, "It's just that people can't be resurrected after death." I used to think that I could do everything, but now I realize that the most terrifying thing is the human heart, which is unfathomable. My opponents are not those who are intrigue, but those who are in the shadows. ”

Jiang Yan said: "Then do you know who is behind the scenes?" ”

Xue Yingge raised his hand to look at the lines of his palm: "I don't know who the person behind the scenes is. He manipulates one plot after another, hiding in the shadows like a spider and laying webs, and I will find him along this thread, and in the process cut his webs one by one, so that he has nowhere to escape and experience the feeling of being at the end of his rope. ”

Jiang Yan stretched out his hand and put it on Xue Yingge's shoulder: "I can bear it for you." ”

"No, I will avenge my own revenge."

After Yuan Hong came back, his face was heavy, and he went east to the building, Du Ruolan had already told Yuan Hong what happened, and now Du Ruolan has gradually taken over the operation of Donggo Building, and Xue Yingge also asked her to pay attention to some business information on spices.

The matter of Bi Kite made Du Ruolan feel uneasy, so she strictly checked the guys who went to the east to the building, and also carried out various stages of confidentiality treatment on the secret recipe of winemaking, each brewing master only kept a part of the secret recipe of winemaking, and the final key steps of winemaking were kept in Du Ruolan's hands to prevent the secret recipe from leaking.

Yuan'er has also matured a little after this incident, Xue Yingge still remembers that when she went to the firewood room to see Yuan'er, she looked pitiful, but after Du Ruolan's guidance, Yuan'er gradually became sensible, and sometimes she could help Du Ruolan solve some things. However, when she heard that Xue Yingge was going to Hangshan, she would go regardless of it, Xue Yingge thought that Yuan'er had been following her in her previous life, so she agreed to Yuan'er.

When he went to Hangshan County before leaving, Gu Xingzhi took Xue Yingge to a place.

In the land of mountains and rivers, pear blossoms are planted all over, Gu Xingzhi led Xue Yingge to the entrance, and without waiting for Xue Yingge to ask, Gu Xingzhi opened his mouth to solve his doubts: "This place is a pear tree planted by my grandfather when my mother was born, and now it is flourishing and bearing fruit every year." ”

Xue Yingge vaguely remembered that the former prime minister Luo Cheng was from Hangzhou, but his ancestral home was in Suzhou.

"When my grandfather was seriously ill, I buried my brother here after he died." Gu Xingzhi led Xue Yingge into the depths of the pear orchard, and under a pear tree, Xue Yingge saw a pair of tombstones standing side by side.

"My grandfather and grandmother are buried here." Gu Xingzhi said, "The emperor's order to let the Hangzhou prefect be buried is just a cover-up. ”

"My grandfather always remembered that he wanted to return to his roots, and this was the best place for him."

Gu Xingzhi took out the incense from the side and lit it, handed it to Xue Yingge and said, "Come with me to put a stick of incense on my grandfather and grandmother." ”

Xue Yingge was as good as a stream, and together with Gu Xingzhi, he bowed down to his grandfather and grandmother.

After inserting the incense, Gu Xingzhi held Xue Yingge's hand and said to the tombstone: "Grandfather, grandmother, this is your granddaughter-in-law, her name is Xue Yingge, I took her to see you." ”

"Grandfather, grandmother, I'm Yingge, I've come to see you. In the future, I will take care of my behavior, be dedicated to him, and never abandon him. Xue Yingge solemnly promised, and at this time, the pear blossoms fell, as if sensing the intentions of Xue Yingge and Gu Xingzhi.

Gu Xingzhi picked up Xue Yingge, and the two walked side by side in the garden, and then Xue Yingge saw a swing not far away, and Gu Xingzhi explained: "It was a swing made by my grandfather for my mother." ”

Xue Yingge knew that Luo Cheng was a person who loved his daughter like his life, and he devoted his love to his only daughter Luo Xue, but it was a pity that Luo Xue died early.

Gu Xingzhi asked Xue Yingge to sit on the swing, and then gently pushed the swing for her.

"When I was a child, my father and mother would take me back to Suzhou every year to worship my ancestors, and my grandfather and grandmother would be there, and we would often gather here, and my mother would push the swing for me."

Gu Xingzhi's tone was full of longing, Xue Yingge held his hand holding the swing and said, "In the future, I will accompany you to see them." ”

Gu Xingzhi smiled, and then led Xue Yingge to the front of the bamboo house, where the tablets of his grandfather, grandmother and Luo Xue were placed, and Gu Xingzhi pulled Xue Yingge to kneel down against the tablet again.

"Mother, I've come to see you with a song." Gu Xingzhi is like a child, like a mother introducing her most cherished treasure, "She is the most loved person in my life, we will love each other like you and my father, always with each other in this life, you don't have to worry about me anymore." ”

Xue Yingge looked at Luo Xue, a woman who was extremely admired by the world, and bowed solemnly: "Mother, I will take care of Xingzhi." ”

Gu Xingzhi pulled Xue Yingge to get up and said, "My mother doesn't have a tombstone here, and on the outskirts of the mountains of the capital is my mother's clothed mound." ”

Xue Yingge was a little surprised, so he listened to Gu Xingzhi and said: "My mother was most afraid of insects when she was alive, she didn't know where she heard that people would be bitten by insects when they were buried in the ground after death, so they insisted on being cremated after her death, and then sprinkled the ashes into the Xiangjiang water, as she said, come to this world cleanly, and leave cleanly." ”

Xue Yingge was very surprised, after all, cremation seemed to be a kind of capital punishment in the eyes of the current dynasty, and the bones were broken and ashes scattered. Luo Xue's idea is really bold, and only her parents who prefer her and Gu Jingzhi, who loves her the most, can agree to her such an absurd way of leaving.

"You think it's weird, don't you?" Gu Xingzhi smiled and said, "I hope this is the case after a hundred years." ”

Xue Yingge clenched Gu Xingzhi's hand, hugged his waist and said, "That's too lonely, you and I will be buried together in a hundred years." ”

Gu Xingzhi hugged Xue Yingge's waist and said, "So, I have envied the love of my father and mother since I was a child. I thought, if only I could be like them, I'm glad I met you. ”

Xue Yingge smiled, then looked up at Gu Xingzhi and said, "Why me?" ”

Gu Xingzhi kissed Xue Yingge's hair and said, "You will slowly find out in the future." ”

After the two came back, everyone had already packed up, and when they set off for Hangshan County, everyone dressed up a little and changed their appearance. Xue Yingge pretended to be Gu Xingzhi's fiancée, and Yuan'er was still her maid, Jiang Yan was the accompanying master, and Qi Ran was the guard, while Pei Haoran stayed by Gu Xingzhi's side as a housekeeper, and all the guards he brought were used as escorts.

When passing through the junction of Hangshan County and Changshan County, they met Yao Jingnian and others who were a little embarrassed.

Unexpectedly, Song Sijin was actually there, she struggled to support Yao Jingnian, who was in a coma, and poked her head out to look at Qi Ran, who was stopping for inspection, and said, "This son, can you make it convenient for us to take a ride into the city?" We can pay honorarium. ”
