Drunken Immortal Building.

The second floor is a private room.

This private room is next door to Princess Lian's Tianzi Ya, and the decoration is about the same, but the area is slightly smaller.

At this moment, in this private room, there is an old man and a young man drinking tea with sad faces, and both of them look like they have no intention of talking.

Although there was a lot of delicious food on the table, neither of them had the appetite for a bite.

The old man is about fifty or sixty years old, and he looks like an old housekeeper of a large family, quite elegant, and at first glance he is a talented man who read poetry and books when he was young.

And the young one, who looked thirteen or fourteen years old, was dressed like a little scholar who grew up with the young master in a big family.

Although he is young and immature, his eyes are quite aura and appear to be very spiritual, and he is a very clever little scholar at first glance.

It has been almost a month since this old man and young man came to the Imperial City, and they have been looking for the young master who has disappeared since childhood.

As for the young master they were looking for, he was the only descendant of the famous Miaotetang Lian family.

That happened almost twenty years ago, when the Lian family offended a wealthy and powerful Qi family in the imperial city, and was hunted down by the assassins of the Bounty Hall entrusted by the other party.

In desperation, the Lian family fled the imperial city overnight, and disappeared incognito.

It's a pity that when fleeing from the imperial city, the fourth aunt of the Lian family was already pregnant with Liujia and had difficulty moving, and unfortunately was caught up by the assassins of the Bounty Palace, and was killed on the spot and sunk to the bottom of the river.

This matter is also a big blow to the Lian family.

And more than ten years later, the Lian family especially regretted this unborn child.

Because the Lian family has few heirs, in the past ten years of incognito, hiding in Tibet, and being displaced, they have unfortunately lost more than a dozen family members.

It also includes the only two remaining minor children, so the Lian family is equivalent to the last at this point.

This means that the ancestral medical skills of the family of divine doctors will not be inherited, and they will be completely lost.

Just when the patriarch of the Lian family was disheartened three years ago, he unexpectedly heard a good news, that is, after the assassin who killed the fourth aunt in the Bounty Palace retired from the rivers and lakes, he sent a secret letter to the Lian family.

The letter mentioned that he had never told outsiders a secret, that is, he couldn't bear to kill a woman who was pregnant with Liujia, so he didn't stab the fourth aunt in the vital part.

Therefore, although the fourth aunt seemed to be killed by him in the eyes of the other Bounty Hall assassins and thrown into the river, she did not die immediately.

After the other Assassins left, the soft-hearted assassin jumped into the river and rescued the fourth aunt.

and sent it to a small village nearby, put down a sum of money, and asked the people in the village to help take care of the injured and premature fourth aunt.

With the help of the kind villagers, the fourth aunt was treated in time for her wounds, and soon gave birth to a child, but the assassin was still in a hurry to return to the bounty hall to restore his life, and after hearing the child's cry outside the door, he hurried out of the village without asking whether it was a man or a woman.

Many years later, when the assassin withdrew from the Bounty Hall and planned to retire, he deliberately went to that village to see the fourth aunt and the child, and by the way, gave them another sum of money as atonement for the assassination of them.

When I went, I found that the village was empty.

He went to other nearby villages to inquire, only to learn that there had been a plague in that village a few years earlier, and most of the people had died.

The rest of the people also left for their relatives.

He had the idea of trying it again, and inquired about the whereabouts of the fourth aunt and the child by the way.

After all, the villagers of the nearby village may not know that the village had taken in a woman who was pregnant with Rokka.

But to his surprise, although the specific whereabouts of the fourth aunt were still unknown, he still heard a statement, that is, the pregnant woman who was kindly taken in by the villagers left the village quietly with the child on the night after giving birth.

This incident shocked the people in that village, and they deliberately searched for three days and three nights near the village before giving up, so this matter also more or less spread to the nearby villages.

It's just that the specific girl gave birth to a boy or a girl, so many years have passed, and the villagers in the nearby villages can't remember clearly.

After learning the news, the assassin realized that the fourth aunt had definitely not died of the plague, but he had no way of verifying where she had gone, so he had to give up.

But he felt that it was necessary for the Lian family to know about this situation, as for whether they could find the fourth aunt and the adult child after many years, it depended on their creation.

Therefore, this assassin specially wrote a secret letter and spent a lot of money to entrust a secret tracing organization to deliver the secret letter to the patriarch of the Lian family who lived in seclusion.

When the patriarch of the Lian family read the secret letter, he also had the attitude of believing it or not, and sent people around to inquire about the whereabouts of the fourth aunt and the child.

Since the Assassin's secret letter did not mention whether the fourth aunt's child was male or female, more than ten years have passed now, so it is quite difficult to find it.

Fortunately, in order to bless the unborn child with a safe life, the patriarch of the Lian family deliberately created a jade pendant in advance for the fourth aunt to wear it too closely, and put it on the child when the child was born.

This jade pendant is carved from a unique blood-colored jade, and it also has the pattern of Miaojudo and the word "Lianzi".

It stands to reason that the name of the child should be engraved on the jade pendant, but at that time, the child had not yet been born, and the man and woman were unknown, so the word "Lianzi" was used to indicate that he was the heir of the Lian family.

In view of the fact that the fourth aunt will definitely wear this jade pendant on the child with her own hands, and this child will definitely wear it close to her body from childhood to adulthood, so the patriarch of the Lian family thinks that as long as the whereabouts of this jade pendant are found, the child and the fourth aunt will naturally be found.

At first, there was no news, until last month, when I finally found out that someone had seen this precious blood-colored jade pendant in the imperial city.

When he learned that the jade pendant had actually appeared in the imperial city, the patriarch of the Lian family realized that the fourth aunt was probably dead long ago.

Because if the fourth aunt was still alive, she would definitely have done everything possible to find the reclusive Lian family.

It is impossible to stay in the imperial city where the enemy Qi family is located, after all, the Lian family was forced to flee the imperial city by the Qi family back then, how could they dare to return to the imperial city to die.

Therefore, even the patriarch of the clan thought that the fourth aunt was afraid that the child would die when she was very young, and she didn't have time to tell the child her life experience.

So much so that although the child grew up, he did not look for the Lian family.

Because he didn't know that he was a member of the Lian family, a family of divine doctors.

I didn't know that my enemy was also in the Imperial City, otherwise I would have fled the Imperial City again.

So the patriarch of the Lian family hurriedly sent the trustworthy old housekeeper, and the grandson of the old housekeeper, who is also the little scholar of the Lian family, to the imperial city to find this jade pendant.

The ultimate goal is to find the young master who they have not known until now whether it is a man or a woman.

Since the Qi family, who forced the Lian family to flee the imperial city overnight, was in the imperial city, it was not easy for the old housekeeper and the little scholar to look for the whereabouts of Yu Pei everywhere with great fanfare.

Lest the Qi family, who intended to kill the entire Lian family, know that they were in the imperial city and secretly searched for the fourth aunt's child, then they would inevitably send someone to hunt them down again.

I can only secretly and cautiously ask around, so the progress is slow.

About ten days ago, with the efforts of the old housekeeper and the little scholar, I finally heard that someone seemed to have seen a young man wearing this jade pendant in the Drunken Immortal Building.

So, the two of them hurriedly rushed to the Zuixian Building and chartered a private room with a local name, and they ate and lived in this private room.

Secretly observe every guest who enters and exits the Drunken Immortal Building every day.

It's a pity that ten full days have passed, and they still haven't found anything, and they also think that there may be a mistake in this news, and it cannot be ruled out that the person who provided the news read it wrong.

Because the consumption of the Drunken Immortal Mansion is not low, the guests who can come here to eat are also rich or expensive, and there are many who have the ability to wear expensive jade pendants, but if you are not very familiar with the extremely rare blood-colored jade pendant, just glance at it casually, it is inevitable that you will admit your mistakes.

It's like the two of them saw a jade pendant worn by a son at noon today, which looked very similar to blood-colored jade, but when they went to recognize each other with great excitement, they realized that the jade pendant was just like it from a distance, and when they took it in their hands and looked at it carefully, it was not at all.

was also scolded by that son.

Therefore, the old housekeeper and the little scholar also felt physically and mentally exhausted, and even felt that it was in vain to look for them like this, and they had to worry all day long that the enemy would find them, and they would surely die.

I planned to pass tonight, and if I didn't see anyone wearing a blood-colored jade pendant, I planned to leave the imperial city early tomorrow morning and gave up completely.

"Oooo

Just when the old butler and the little scholar had no intention of eating what might be the last meal in the imperial city, and were just disheartened and drinking tea and falling into deep thought, they heard a rush of footsteps coming from the door of the private room of Tianzi next door.

It seems that two people came to the door of the Tianzi private room next door.

Then there was a knock on the door.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Yo he! It's actually locked! There's really someone in there! ”

A vulgar-sounding man's voice rang out.

"Lord Qi, the little one didn't lie to you, did he? This day, there are really already guests in the private room. Besides, how dare the little one lie to you? You are a dignified relative of the country, and even if you have ten guts, you will not dare to lie to you. ”

The shopkeeper begged aggrievedly.

This sudden noise, as well as the arrival of Lord Qi, also made the old housekeeper and the little scholar in the private room nervous, and thought that the Qi family of the enemy family had learned the news that they were in the Drunken Immortal Building and rushed to search.

He also tiptoed to the door and listened intently to the movement outside.

"But every time the official comes to Zuixianlou, he eats in the Tianzi private room, and he is really not used to going to other private rooms. Besides, the official status is noble, how can he go to another private room! Get out of the way! The official asked the people inside to give up this private room. ”

The arrogant and impudent man shouted again.

"Bang bang bang!"

After finishing speaking, he knocked them a few more times, and shouted extremely domineeringly: "Hey! The people inside listened, and immediately opened the door for the official! The official wants to requisition this private room, and as long as you are willing to give up this private room, the official will not embarrass you. If you don't want to, there are a hundred ways for you to go to the prison and enjoy the prison meal! Hear me! If you don't open the door again, the official will not be polite! ”

"Squeak!"

At this moment, the door of the private room of Tianzi opened ......
