Yuan Lie's voice became more and more hoarse, and Meng Yu knew that she would not be able to sleep well in the next half of the night.

"Lie, do you think that after we go back, will my father and brother say that I don't keep women's morals?"

Before Yuan Lie sank down again, Meng Yu looked at him with some concern.

"How so? You have been my Yuan Lie's person since the last Devil's Bay. It's just that now the emperor wants me to take Tuguhun first before giving us a marriage. But in fact, you're already my wife. We are together, and we are recognized by the Flying Buddha. Don't worry. ”

Meng Yu nodded:

"But the last time I ran away from home, my brother said something very strange to me. He said that my father had always disliked me approaching Chang'an. Also, the last time I passed through Bashu, I made a special trip to find the place where I was born. All that's left is ruins. The only stone benches that remained were full of slash marks, and it looked like there had been some kind of fierce fighting. Lie, I always feel faintly uneasy. ”

When Yuan Lie heard this, he was also stunned:

"Then did you ask Wei Chixing later?"

"I asked, and he said that he had not been in Bashu for a long time, and he did not know what had happened there fifteen years ago, and he said that he would write to me to ask my colleagues who had been magistrates in Bashu for a long time. But then he didn't give me any answer. ”

"I'll leave this to my husband to check for you."

As soon as the words fell, Yuan Lie came in again.

"Lie, why do you always have enough to eat?"

Meng Yu's angry voice came out.

"I can only blame Madame for being too charming."

Meng Yu went to the street early to pick out a handsome men's outfit for the Lidong dinner in the evening.

When I arrived in the East Market, the streets that used to be bustling were sparsely populated.

"Shopkeeper, what's going on today? Why isn't there anyone shopping? ”

Meng Yu asked the shopkeeper while choosing the right clothes.

"Guest, didn't you hear 'Peng' before? A Taoist temple in the eastern suburbs was blown up, and several corpses were blown out inside. Hey, I heard that the arm was hanging on the tree, which is really miserable. When everyone heard about it, they stopped shopping, and they all went there to see the excitement. ”

When Meng Yu got up in the morning, she heard the sound of "Peng", but just like that, she thought it was winter thunder.

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, she didn't care about picking out clothes, so she hurriedly ran to the eastern suburbs.

Once there, Meng Yu could only see a flattened ruin, and a few piles of rubble with pungent smoke rising out.

Officers and soldiers had also arrived at the scene, shouting and shouting to disperse the crowd of onlookers.

"Auntie, what's the situation?"

Meng Yu grabbed a kind-looking old woman and asked her.

"I don't know, it suddenly exploded, and it was said that God was angry and sent a big thunderstorm here. It's strange to say, how long has this Taoist temple been unpopular. This sudden explosion actually blew out seven or eight human legs. It is also not known whether it was the living or the dead who were killed. It's weird. ”

"The officer didn't say anything?"

"The officers and soldiers can't catch up with us, how can they tell us? However, I heard Li Luoguo say just now that when he pushed vegetables from here to the city gate before dawn and waited for the door to open, he often saw people coming out of the ground. Everybody looks sneaky. Perhaps, these are ghosts. ”

"Yes, yes."

Another aunt next to her also came to talk:

"Some people are killed, and after a long time, when they see that they cannot be found by the living, and they cannot enter the earth, they will come out and make trouble. In my opinion, these eight achievements were created by ghosts, and they wanted to attract officers and soldiers to help them collect their corpses. ”

Meng Yu couldn't listen anymore and withdrew out of the crowd.

Suddenly, she saw that the person named Luo Hurt was also dressed as an ordinary person, crowded in the crowd to watch the excitement.

She hurried over and dragged him out:

"Are you the one who did this?"

Luo Shen stared at her for a while:

"It's not."

"You're lying."

"If I'm going to lie to you, I'd rather not open my mouth."

Luo Shen said, and prepared to turn around and leave.

Meng Yu jumped up to him and blocked him:

"Last time I was in the East Palace, I heard you and the prince discussing to blow up the Shunyi Gate. Why, seeing that it didn't blow up General Yuan, you got the explosion site here? ”

When Luo Shu heard Meng Yu's words, he was stunned, he was silent for a long time before he spoke to Meng Yu:

"He's the one you like, and I won't kill him."

"What?"

Meng Yu was confused.

"It's nothing, I've already told you, this matter has nothing to do with me. I guess they were in a hurry to change places, but they were busy and made a mess and blew up this place themselves. I have something to do, so I'll go first. ”

"You wait."

Meng Yu also wanted to ask what Luo Shen's words meant before, he had already disappeared into the people of the inner and outer three layers, as if he had never appeared in the first place.

Meng Yu returned to the ready-to-wear store suspiciously, picked out a dark red gown, and returned to Yuan's mansion.

Yuan Lie had been busy outside and didn't come back.

Meng Yu changed his clothes in the house, sat on the low table, and waited for him.

At the end of the hour, he finally appeared.

"Lie, there is a Taoist temple in the eastern suburbs that exploded today, have you heard?"

Meng Yu anxiously ran forward to ask him.

"I know that now the emperor is angry and is investigating the case in Dali Temple. You're the only one who brought the goods back to the Winddart Bureau at the time, and I'm afraid you'll be implicated in this. We'll set off early tomorrow morning for Mocamel City. ”

"Lie, is this matter so serious?"

"Privately developing heavy weapons, in the eyes of the emperor, is almost like forcing the palace. So this time, King Qin is in big trouble. But he's ready to get everything clean. ”

"He can pick it up, what about the Li Mansion? Not to be a scapegoat? ”

"Are you watching out for Lev? Are you doing her little girl to make feelings? ”

"Isn't she your childhood sweetheart's playmate? You're not worried about her? ”

"Don't worry, King Qin will definitely be able to save their lives. However, exile was inevitable. ”

"Huh? How so? ”

"Meng Yu, this is the struggle for power, there is blood behind it, there is no way."

Meng Yu's eyes had a layer of mist:

"However, Li Fu is really innocent. Can you think of a way to save her from exile? ”

"Then I can only marry her first, ma'am, are you willing?"

"I do."

Meng Yu hurriedly expressed his position.

"And you're willing to be small?"

Yuan Lie's eyes widened.

"I don't want to be small, I won't marry you, I won't marry anyone. The rivers and lakes are so big, I can go wherever I want, isn't it happy? ”

Meng Yu's mouth bulged.

Yuan Lieguaner:

"You can say this kind of crazy talk, it looks like you want to learn a lesson again tonight."

As he spoke, Yuan Lie was about to kiss Meng Yu.

Meng Yu hurriedly stopped him:

"Lie, I'm not kidding you. Do what you can to keep the Li family, okay? ”

Yuan Lie also said:

"It's not as simple as you think. That Flying Buddha was originally invited for me. If I blindly come out, the emperor will only think that I am an accomplice. Sometimes, it is necessary to abandon the branches so that they do not fall. In the future, let the branches grow back, you know? ”

When Meng Yu heard this, her heart became even more sad, and she fell on Yuan Lie's chest:

"I don't understand, and I don't want to. It's just that people who were playing together yesterday are about to be exiled to the bitter cold, which is very unacceptable to think about. ”

Yuan Lie also hugged Meng Yu hard:

"There's no way, you're in the whirlpool, you can only be careful and careful, don't be completely caught in the whirlpool."

Meng Yu looked up at Yuan Lie:

"In the future, you must not only be careful of the cold arrows of the enemies on the battlefield, but also the cold arrows of the political enemies of the court. Don't worry me, you know? ”

Yuan Lie pinched her nose:

"Don't worry, you're experienced as a husband. Wipe away your tears, put on your mask, and I'll take you to the table. ”

The front hall of Yuan's Mansion was decorated in a particularly bright and gorgeous manner because it was rare for the family to gather tonight.

Yuan Xie, Yuan Lie's father, was sitting in the first place at the moment, looking at Yuan Lie and his second son Yuan Zhi who were sitting below with a smile.

That Yuan Zhi is a little older than Wei Chiyan, but his eyes are obviously different.

He looked at Meng Yu's pockmarked face, and he actually knew how to hide his contempt.

"The person who saved my eldest brother is the benefactor of our Yuan family, please be worshiped by Yuan Zhi."

Meng Yu hurriedly helped the child up:

"You're welcome, it's a gesture, a gesture."

Mrs. Yuan on the side spoke:

"Earlier, in the Li Mansion, I saw this little brother performing the trick of dancing the whip, and the whip in one hand was really a good dance. Little brother, I forgot to ask you before, how did you save my family Lie'er in Mocamel City? ”

Meng Yu was stunned, on this issue, she hadn't gotten angry with Yuan Lie yet.

Yuan Lie on the side hurriedly spoke:

"Nurse, your grandson and I were almost eaten by a big salamander."

Meng Yu hurriedly answered:

"Old Madam Yuan, it was when I took General Yuan across Devil's Bay that I met the salamander's lair. General Yuan was accidentally swept by the tongue of a large salamander. Seeing that he was about to be eaten by the salamander, I drew my whip and cut off the salamander's head in one fell swoop. But in hindsight, I just did it redundantly. How good the general's kung fu is, without my whip, he would not have been eaten by salamanders. Therefore, the general has always regarded me as a benefactor, which is really too much. ”

"So thrilling?"

Yuan Lie's mother, Zhang Mei, changed her face on the side:

"We've never heard from Lie'er. Lie'er, this child, has always reported good news but not bad news. If you hadn't talked about these things today, we wouldn't have known anything. ”

Yuan Lie smiled:

"Mother, these are sparse and ordinary things, and they are really not worth talking about. It's rare for everyone to reunite today, so let's stop talking about these bloody things, let's pick up our glasses and drink this wine together. ”

Everyone picked up the wine in their hands, dipped it with their index fingers, and flicked it to express their happiness at the reunion, and then drank the wine in the cup.

In the midst of the staggering, the housekeeper of the Yuan Mansion came forward to report:

"Sir, there is a young man at the door with a bearded face, holding a woman, asking to see you."

Mrs. Yuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately reacted:

"No, blast it out."

The housekeeper was looking at Yuan Xie suspiciously, waiting for his final word.

Over there, Luo Shen had already helped his mother in.

Luo Shu's face was different from what Meng Yu had seen before, and now the left and right halves were completely Hu Ren's appearance, without the slightest shadow of Yuan Lie.

"Luo Yi, are you still alive?"

Yuan Xie saw the woman in the purple jacket and stood up involuntarily, looking very excited.

"Yuan Xie, sit down."

Old Lady Yuan's rather majestic voice came, and when Yuan Xie heard it, he had to sit down slowly.

"Two, I'm really sorry, this is the mansion of the general of Zhenguo, and now the generals are having a family banquet. If you have any business, please come back another day. Please come back. ”

When the butler saw that the man was standing still, he had to walk over and make a "please" gesture.
