The royal capital, where the master of Xuan and the master of Chu came together, said that in a few days, the master of Ji, the master of Song, and the two seniors would also enter Beijing one after another.

It came so quietly, but no one heard of it.

Chu Ning only sighed: "The last time I came to the royal capital, it seemed to be a matter of my previous life. In the blink of an eye, it has been more than 20 years inadvertently. ”

Master Xuansi's tone was also light: "It is true that the royal capital is not yesterday's royal capital. ”

When he arrived at Yunyan Pavilion, Master Xuan asked Xuan Jinhuan directly: "What has happened to Wang Du recently?" ”

"Yes." Xuan Jinhuan told Master Xuan what happened in the royal capital; Because Master Xuan was still wearing a mask, he couldn't see anything, but Master Chu had already darkened his face, and he looked like he was going to tear down the royal capital sooner or later.

After pondering for a long time, Master Xuan suddenly remembered something and turned back to Lord Chu and said, "Senior Sister Chu, go and see that woman!" I speak to the Lord. ”

Master Chu nodded: "It's okay, I want to see what kind of woman she is." ”

Xuan Jinhuan led the Master of Chu over, and the Master of Chu asked her, "That woman is called Qi Shan?" Is it a Gu Master? Still involved with Beihu's side? ”

"Yes. She is indeed a Gu master, her mother seems to be a side of the Beihu royal family, and somehow she ended up in the Central Plains, married her father and gave birth to her. Xuan Jinhuan replied.

"After all, I haven't seen a Gu Master for many years, so I just happened to meet her as a Gu Master." Chu Ning sneered, very disdainful.

Xuan Jinhuan only took Master Chu outside the house, and then stopped going in with her.

As for what the two of them said, Xuan Jinhuan didn't want to know.

Master Xuan and Xie Lan are nephews, and Master Chu is no worse than Qi Shan if he is a Gu Master's apprentice, and it has nothing to do with her if they want to talk or fight.

The sky was overcast and gloomy, and it looked like it was about to rain heavily.

Xuan Jinhuan sat under the porch and didn't know what to ponder, there was already a light rain outside, and the rain was hazy, like a needle.

From the moment Qi Shan told Xie Lan those things, she already knew her end.

Murder of the Commander, whether directed or coerced, is a capital offense.

In fact, she did choose to die with this secret, so that no one would know about it again.

Xuan Jinhuan was thinking about all kinds of strange things, and he was also full of flavors in his heart.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally saw the door open and the master of Chu came out expressionlessly from inside, and when Xuan Jinhuan turned his gaze, he saw Qi Shan lying on the ground, with a dagger stuck in his chest, and he was already out of breath.

"If the lord is young and doesn't dare to do anything to the woman, then I can only deal with it." Master Chu said lightly, as if she had just done a very casual thing, "If there is such a thing in the future, we are not here, you will make this decision for Lord Ling." As a secret guard of Yong'an, you must not be soft-hearted. ”

"Yes." Xuan Jin hurriedly responded.

Only then did Master Chu show a somewhat satisfied look: "You go back to your stepmother first, and say that everything here is settled." I went out to meet someone. ”

Xuan Jinhuan also leaned over and replied, "Yes, uncle." ”

Several masters have a few "old people" who have not seen each other for decades in the royal capital, and now they should meet again when they come to Beijing.

Xuan Jinhuan went back to report to the master of Xuan that the master of Chu had executed Qi Shan; Xie Lan listened as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't say anything more after she stopped talking.

"That's fine, save yourself some trouble." Master Xuan said indifferently, "It's just that I didn't expect Zhixia to do such a thing." This sentence is still a little regretful, after all, no matter what, Xuanhou is her own sister.

Xie Lan took Master Xuan's hand and asked, "Auntie, does my father really love my mother?" ”

Master Xuan looked back at Xie Lan for a long time, but finally sighed: "It's been many years, I forgot." ”

Xuan Jinhuan could see that in fact, this was probably not the answer that Master Xuan was sincere; Maybe the story was too cruel, and she couldn't bear to tell Xie Lan, so she used it as an excuse.

"Have you been to Meizhuang?" Master Xuan thought about it and asked again.

"Yes." Xuan Jinhuan nodded.

"In a few days, accompany me to Meizhuang again to pay respects to those ancestors." Xuan Si said.

Xuan Jinhuan and Xie Lan came out together, and the two walked slowly along the corridor, talking with each other; Xuan Jinhuan could also obviously feel that Xie Lan was very absent-minded, so he said, "Are you still bothered by what your stepmother said just now?" ”

Xie Lan shook his head: "I don't know. I just feel that there is no way to calm down in my heart no matter what, as if there is a thorn stuck in my heart. ”

Xuan Jinhuan understood what he meant, and sighed: "Do you care very much?" ”

"I, I just don't get it." Xie Lan said discouragedly.

"In fact, love is the cheapest thing, worthless in the face of power and interests." Xuan Jinhuan pondered for a moment before saying.

"I should have understood." Xie Lan sighed, he asked only because of the unwillingness in his heart.

The two were silent for a while, and Xie Lan diverted the topic and said, "I, I just told my aunt about Meizhuang. My aunt said that it was not a dream, it should be a phantom on the Yongan Order, and we thought about it too much. ”

Xuan Jinhuan nodded: "If this is the case, it would be the best." ”

Xie Lan also said: "When the time comes, let's go to Meizhuang again and solve some things." My aunt said that in fact, this time Mr. Gu entered Beijing because of Meizhuang. ”

Thinking of what he saw in Meizhuang at that time, Xuan Jinhuan asked: "Who was the person who sacrificed in Meizhuang before?" ”

Xie Lan lowered his eyes and shook his head: "Although I don't know if it's friend or foe, after all, there are only a few people who can enter Meizhuang." ”

"That's right." Xuan Jinhuan felt not very relieved, thought about it and asked, "How many of the former students of Chenghan Academy are still alive?" ”

"Mr. Gu is full of peaches and plums all over the world, and in the sea of foreign people, everyone was once a student of Chenghan Academy, who knows." Xie Lan said lonely, and walked a little further before he continued, "I seem to understand what you said when you were in Meizhuang that day. I've thought about it a lot these days, and I've figured it out a lot. ”

Hearing him say this, Xuan Jinhuan was slightly pleased in his heart: "It's good if you can figure it out." ”

Xie Lan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I'm not a child anymore, and I haven't seen those twists and turns that are unsightly before." ”

Listening to the rustling of the rain outside, Xuan Jinhuan said in a dull voice: "Actually, my biological father was also a student of Chenghan Academy, but I have never met him. I was born in Yong'an, but before I was born, my father left Yong'an and never came back. ”

Xie Lan has never heard Xuan Jinhuan talk about her life experience, only knows that she is the righteous daughter of Master Xuan, who grew up in Yong'an since she was a child; Now when I hear her talk about this, I can't help but be a little curious: "Your father is from the Xuan clan?" ”

Xuan Jinhuan lowered his eyes: "Hmm." Before, we were in Qianyue Peak to hide hundreds ~ 10,000 # ^^ small! I said that the history book I saw in it was written by my grandfather. My father is only a collateral member of the Xuan clan, and my mother is also a Yong'an secret guard, but they are both gone many years ago. ”
