Chapter 35: The Flying Lu Sword (3)
Zhang Yu pursed his lips, the aura around him became colder and colder, he looked at the content on the paper, the contact was broken two years ago, and he had already guessed one or two in his heart, but he refused to believe it. Liu Gui'er was still pulling the iron chain and gurgling, as if the chain would be broken as long as he pressed harder. "Zhang Yu, you have to pay the price."
"It's ridiculous that you are investigating the news of my country and endangering the lives of the people of our country, but you say that I have to pay the price." Zhang Yu's words were like ice, and he folded the paper and put it back on his sleeve: "Don't think I don't know who you're hinting at, Xin Zhe grew up with me, lived and died together dozens of times, and now he is no longer in the world, you still want me to doubt him?" ”
"I thought that General Zhang was so bold and chic, but he was just a person who couldn't believe in reality." Liu Gui'er laughed and sat down against the wall exhausted, "Yuan Xinzhe did grow up with you since childhood, but he is from Chen Guo, don't you know?" You can go to the good hall that adopted him and ask. ”
Zhang Yu got up early in the morning, still dressed in white, tied his hair at will, and ran towards the good hall in the west of the city. The benevolent hall in the west of the city has been open for decades, and some of the children in it were sent by their parents, some were abandoned, and nuns and monks sent them, and they generally recorded where they came from.
Zhang Yu knocked on the door, he didn't notice that his heartbeat kept in a hurry, even the hand that knocked on the door was a little trembling, and an old woman who was about to be seventy years old opened the door, looking very kind and talkative.
"Why is Childe in such a hurry?" The old woman asked slowly, a little like she was talking to a child. Behind her, a couple of mischievous children approached, their big eyes twinkling at the strange visitor.
"Old man, I want to check someone."
"Come in," the old woman looked very calm, presumably because there were too many guests looking for someone, and she was used to it, "when was the person you are looking for born?" What is your name? She asked as she walked, entered the hall, made a cup of tea for Zhang Yu with her hands and feet, and motioned for him to sit down.
"His name is Yuan Xinzhe, and he should have been sent here 20 years ago."
"Okay, I'll rummage through it."
After a while, the old woman came over with a booklet, and she squinted her eyes and slowly checked them one by one, "Yuan Xinzhe? Children with surnames are still quite rare, and they usually don't have names, so we take them at will. ”
Zhang Yu paused, he wasn't sure if Yuan Xinzhe had changed his name, and thought for a while: "Old man, do you remember that there was a child who was sent to Zhang's mansion?" ”
The old woman frowned and thought for a while, "It's vague and a little memorable, after all, it was sent to such a good place, I think about it carefully." Her age-spotted hands began to flip through the booklet again, "Found it, Ah Zhe, she was taken away by Xiuxiu, the cook lady of Zhang's mansion, and she was five years old when she was taken away." ”
Zhang Yu nodded, this is similar to what I remember, the cook Xiuxiu took the five-year-old Yuan Xinzhe to Zhang's mansion, originally wanted to raise Xin Zhe for her in the future, but the martial artist at home found that he had good qualifications in martial arts and could accompany Zhang Yu of the same age to practice, and Zhang Yu's father also agreed very much, so the two children became close friends and grew up together.
"Do you know who Ah Zhe's parents are?"
The old woman pointed to the last column with Ah Zhe's name written on it, and said, "Twenty years ago, there was a plague in the country of Chen, and many people escaped. "The yellowed booklet was written in a dignified font. Zhang Yu knew that the box contained the Feilu Sword, the relic of Yuan Xinzhe's mother.
"Chen Guolai?" The black and yellow words on the yellow paper in front of him were suddenly stretched so far away that he couldn't see clearly, Zhang Yu was dizzy for a while, and he couldn't speak, and he stood up on the table for a while.
"By the way, two years ago, a girl also came to ask about this, and she also asked about Ah Zhe, and I almost forgot about it. At the time, I thought it was Ah Zhe's unfinished object to understand his situation, but when I thought about it, it was unlikely, that girl was dressed in brocade clothes, not an ordinary woman. ”
Coming out of Shantang, Zhang Yu had a lot of things hidden in his heart, leading the horse all the way, and unconsciously walked to the Red Leaf Building, the Red Leaf Building is in the most prosperous area of West Street, the traffic is busy, several people pass by, and then a familiar voice came from the ear, "Pei Qing, do you want to listen to the Red Silk Girl playing the piano?" The bright girl smiled and looked at the handsome boy beside her, if there were stars in her eyes, the corners of her lips curved out of the arc of intoxication.
Gu Peiqing folded the fan and gently scraped Shen Feiming's forehead, and he also looked safe and happy: "You are not jealous when I go?" ”
"Am I such a stingy person? Besides, although Miss Red Silk and I have known each other for a short time, we are like sisters, why am I jealous? ”
"What you say makes sense, then let's go and hear it."
"Are you really going?" There was a hint of unhappiness in the girl's voice.
"Go, didn't you just say it's okay?" Gu Peiqing looked at Shen Feiming with a playful expression.
"Hmph, then you can go, I'll investigate the case." Shen Feiming pouted cutely, and glared at Gu Pei Qing again.
Gu Peiqing smiled dumbly, grabbed Shen Feiming's arm, leaned closer to herself, and reached out to straighten the hairpin in Shen Feiming's hair, "Are you a master of changing faces?" No one in the acrobatic troupe can surpass you, I suggest you go to the Liangyou class to sing, and you will definitely become a famous actor. ”
Zhang Yu has excellent hearing, and the two who joked with each other did not notice him, but he stood under the big tree and watched stupidly for a long time, until the leaves fell on his face on the spring sun, and he did not come back to his senses, and the girl's smile was engraved in his heart, and the stinging pain was deeper. I am just the ice and snow in her heart, which has long since dissipated into water, Zhang Yu lowered her eyes, smiled bitterly between her mouths, and turned around with the horse.
"I don't believe it! Even if he is from Chen Guo, we grew up together, don't you believe his character! After listening to Zhang Yu's discovery, Zhang Tong'er slapped her palm on the wooden table, her eyes were full of madness, "Or did my cousin go back to the city and want to renew his relationship with Shen Feiming, so he decided to get rid of it for her?" ”
"What are you talking about?" Zhang Yu's brows furrowed even deeper, and all he felt when he returned to the city this time was endless troubles.
Zhang Tong'er didn't want to think about Zhang Yu's words at all, she sneered: "It seems that my cousin really wants to forgive Shen Feiming, how can you face the deceased Xin Zhe when you do this." ”。
"Tong'er, we have to find out what is going on, if it is really Xin Zhe's doing, then it means that there are still many spies in the city, and they have woven a denser net to endanger the foundation of the country of Cang."
