On this day and night, it rained in Cangwu County, and the lonely wooden house on the top of Qixian Mountain was shrouded in rain and mist, and a little soft light reflected through the window, setting off the slightly weak figure.

"Daddy, go to bed early." Chu Jiu sensibly called warm water and persuaded softly.

"Well, I fell asleep after writing this letter." Tong Ruchu still bowed his head to write a letter, and responded lightly. Halfway through the letter, Xu didn't know how to write later, Tong Ruchu inadvertently looked up and found that Chu Jiu was still waiting on the side, put down the pen with a light smile, and beckoned his daughter to his side: "Come here, Jiu'er, talk to your father for a while." ”

Chu Jiu nodded happily and brought a small stool to sit next to the bookcase.

When he was drunk in the snow and snow building, Xiao Fengyue taught the ninth year to read and write, but after all, it was sent to a very busy place, and there was very little time to warm the book. These days, when Tong Ruchu was teaching the two, he found that Chu Jiu especially liked the art of war books and history books, as if he had inherited his temperament, so he intended to teach more of these two aspects of knowledge, and for biting his fingers and frowning and trying to study the internal strength of the heart, Tong Ruchu changed the focus of the professor to practice internal and external martial arts.

This kind of life is something that Chu Jiu never dared to hope for, but now it has come true, his heart is full of joy and happiness, and he can't wait to stick to Tong Ruchu's side every day, and never leave this erudite and kind father-in-law for the rest of his life.

"Jiu'er, do you like Sister Red Lotus?" Tong Ruchu put down the pen and smiled gently.

Chu Jiu nodded vigorously without thinking: "I like it!" When Sister Honglian was in the building, she was the best to Jiu'er, and she kept all the delicious food for Jiu'er, and she would stand up for Jiu'er and beat away those bad guests who bullied people, and when Sister Honglian left, Jiu'er cried for several days! ”

"Yes, she is a good girl, kind, and righteous, but it's a pity that her fate is shaky, she can't escape, she can't escape." The smile faded, and Tong Ruchu sighed silently, "Jiu'er, you remember, people must understand Entubao, whoever gives you a good point, you have to pay it back ten times and a hundred times." If he says that the girl is in trouble every other day, you must do whatever it takes to help her, so as not to disgrace the name of my Tong family. ”

Chu Jiu didn't quite understand what the so-called name of the Tong family had to do with him, but he still nodded vigorously, and his immature little face showed maturity and perseverance for the first time.

"Jiu'er is good." Tong Ruchu softened his expression, looked at his daughter who was quite similar to his eyebrows and eyes with kind eyes, and his colorless lips pursed out a faint expression, "Daddy knows that you really want to stay here forever, and Daddy has thought so too, but now the situation is different, maybe it won't be long before you and Miss Yan will have to leave Qixian Mountain." Don't worry, Daddy doesn't want you, it's just that there are some things that the girl hasn't dealt with yet, and you, Jiu'er, you have to do your best to help her, and remind her on behalf of Daddy, no matter what happens, don't waver, and always stick to your heart. ”

Chu Jiu, who is not in line with his age and mind, can't fully understand Tong Ruchu's words for the time being, and he seems to understand whether he understands or not, all because of the dignified color in Tong Ruchu's eyes. Quietly rubbing his eyes, Chu Jiu tried not to show his reluctance, and his little fist clenched the corners of his clothes.

In this turbulent world, people must always learn to mature and grow up.

This is the case on the ninth day of the first month, and so is the sorrow of words.

On the ninth day of Wen Moqing's departure, Yan Liwu began to seriously practice the combination of internal and external skills, although he could not thoroughly understand the obscure mantras, but he made rapid progress according to the original tenacity and sensitivity of the body.

On the seventeenth day of Wen Moqing's departure, Yan Liwu learned the first set of swordsmanship, which was more than a month earlier than Tong Ruchu expected.

On the twenty-sixth day of Wen Moqing's departure, Yan Liwu succeeded in making a meal that could be swallowed for the first time in his life, and he looked at the dishes and was stunned, and the food was already cold.

On the thirty-ninth day of Wen Moqing's departure, Yan Liwu had a nightmare, and after waking up, he couldn't remember the plot of the nightmare, but he clearly remembered that he was awakened by shouting Wen Moqing's name.

Wen Moqing left for the fortieth day, and finally understood what it meant to live like a year.

And, what is a longing.

"Does Miss Yan understand her mind now?" For the trance of words and worries, Tong Ruchu was as calm as he had expected.

Yan Liwu rubbed the blade of the sword repeatedly, looked at his eyes through the body of the Xue Liang sword, and his tone was a little erratic: "I want to go to him." ”

Tong Ruchu didn't give any advice, and still recited the mantra and taught kung fu as usual, until Yan Liwu couldn't practice anymore and dropped the sword by mistake, then he shook his head and sighed silently: "Xiaoqing is in some trouble, he doesn't want you to get involved." ”

"That's why I'm going to him." Yan Liwu accentuated his tone, picked up the long sword again, his eyes shining, "I don't want to be a burden to him, where he is, no matter how dangerous it is, I have to break through - since I have decided to be with him, his calamity is my difficulty, advance and retreat together, and I will not regret life and death." ”

"A good sentence of life and death, no regrets, it is worth it to pay so much." Tong Ruchu turned his head to look at the wooden house, and the indifferent wisdom when he raised his eyebrows lightly seemed to be extremely warm and warm, "There is a stack of letters on the desk, some are from the imperial capital, some are from the Junzi Building, and some are from other places. I originally hoped that Miss Yan and Xiaoqing could stay away from power disputes, but now it seems that even if you want to withdraw and quit, some people are unwilling to give up, so Miss Yan can only face the difficulties. I will show you the way to the Gentleman's Building, and I can't predict what will happen there, but I believe that the person who Xiao Qing likes, his fellow disciples and brothers will not be too embarrassed, except for ......"

Tong Ruchu paused for a moment, and subconsciously frowned and asked, "Except for who?" ”

In fact, the answer to this question is not difficult to guess, after asking that sentence, Yan Liwu and Tong Ruchu spoke in unison, extremely tacitly.

"Bisheng."

"Bisheng!"

The people in Junzilou oppose Wen Moqing and Yan Liwu together, most of them out of concern for Wen Moqing's future and reputation, but Bisheng is different. In the face of the beloved who is about to be snatched away by Yan Li, Bi Sheng has hatred and jealousy in her heart, and people do all stupid and bad things under the influence of jealousy, and they have to guard against it, and they can't prevent it.

After handing the thick book of mental methods to Yan Liwu, Tong Ruchu took a deep breath: "In short, be careful in everything, Xiaoqing may not be too suspicious of Bisheng out of the same love, but you can't help but be on guard." I may be sorry for Bi Xiao to say this, but I have to tell the truth - when I first met Bi Sheng's child, I thought she was too paranoid, and paranoia is often an important reason for people to do anything to achieve their goals. In addition, there is another thing that the girl needs to do quickly. ”

Yan Li raised his head and waited respectfully to listen to the teachings, but he didn't expect Tong Ruchu's thin lips to purse his sly smile, and even blink mischievously like a child.

"If you like a little love, you have to say it earlier!"

※※※

Bi Sheng was locked in the room for more than a month, and he hardly saw anyone else except for the children of the gentleman's house who came to deliver food, let alone Wen Moqing.

Although the main masterminds of the forced marriage were Song Zijie and Zhan Qianyan, Qiu Shushui believed that the root cause was that Bi Sheng deliberately complained and distorted the facts, rushed back to the building and scolded Bi Sheng and ordered him to close his door to introspection, and adopted a lenient policy towards Wen Moqing of the other party - this was decided after Qiu Shushui visited Qi Xianshan one night.

After a lot of internal strife, Wen Moqing finally had time to get busy with business, first quickly arranged for people to track Yin Junbai's whereabouts, and then sent someone to Anzhou to pick up Ma Qiaoer and Mu Lanhe, all the way to his hometown Chenzhou; Later, Wen Moqing's handwritten letter was sent directly to the imperial capital and presented to the emperor, but instead of excusing his contact with the rest of the women's army, he proposed that the women's army was judged to be a rebel and was hanged, and the main general Tong Ruchu was executed.

It stands to reason that Wen Jingyuan could wave his hand and tear up the letters, and continue to investigate Wen Moqing's crime of colluding with the remnants of the rebels, but in addition to supporting his son, Wang Dingyuan, more than a dozen important ministers and relatives, including the second prince Wen Moshu and the fourth prince Wen Mozheng, questioned the women's army case, forcing Wen Jingyuan to order the old case to be retried and slapped himself in the face.

Of course, the emperor's face is not easy to beat, and after this trouble, Wen Moqing's identity as the emperor's confidant was completely ruined, and he stood on the opposite side of Wen Jingyuan from then on.

The case more than ten years ago was very difficult to trace, Wen Mozheng, who hosted the case in the imperial capital, was anxious, and Wen Moqing didn't ask anymore when he was the shopkeeper, and focused more on the in-depth investigation of the Hosdu Empire.

After the women's army was exterminated, there were Khostu people who had a close relationship with Sang Ying, but they suddenly disappeared; A few years later, the nobleman of the Hosdu Empire, the Mugta clan, entered the Yuan Kingdom incognito, and Helian Ming unexpectedly failed to assassinate the Yuan Emperor, and he also came and went quickly and suddenly; Now, the Hosdu Empire, which has no contact with the Yuan Kingdom, sent Helian Mingyan as an envoy, and strangely insisted on staying in Qinglian Palace temporarily.

Is there a connection between these events? Is there a conspiracy brewing in the Hothdu Empire? What is Helian Ming's important role in this?

That's all Wen Moqing wants to check.

Because Tong Ruchu made peace from it, Qiu Shushui and Lou Qianhan and others finally stopped worrying about words, which made Wen Moqing, who was in the huge puzzle-solving work, somewhat relieved some of the pressure, and when he stared at the mountains and mountains in the Junzi's Building, there was nothing else in his mind except for the Hosdu Empire, and he did not think about the hidden dangers that may still exist after the forced marriage turmoil.

One of the only two boudoirs in the Gentleman's Building, the tray where the meal has been cold is quietly placed at the door.

"Little girl, I'm coming in!" Mu Jiuge knocked on the door, but no one answered, and pushed the door in a moment and walked in.

Bi Sheng has always been famous for being noisy, but after the forced marriage incident, she was silent as if it didn't exist, and the children in the building understood how sad she was, so no one ever mentioned it, but no one dared to comfort her, for fear that she would accidentally make her cry again.

There are few people in the Junzi Building who can do this kind of thing to make the cute little junior sister cry.

Mu Jiuge lingered outside the boudoir for a long time, and saw that Bi Sheng had no intention of coming out, so he had to go into the bedroom to make up, and gently stroked the loose black hair of Bi Sheng, who was crying in a muffled voice.

Bi Sheng was so familiar with Mu Jiuge that she couldn't be more familiar, she knew that the first person to comfort her must be this senior brother who seemed to be informal but more attentive than anyone else, and the warmth in the back of her head seemed to confirm her guess, but she didn't expect that as soon as Mu Jiuge opened her mouth, she immediately shattered her hope of pouring out her sadness.

"Little girl, senior brother knows that you like ink love, but there are some things you don't do very cleanly, you can't do this in the future, understand?"

Full of sadness and annoyance, Bi Sheng raised her head angrily with tears in her eyes: "What did I do? The forced marriage was not planned by me, it was Senior Brother Song and Senior Brother Zhan who couldn't see it before they came forward for me! Senior Brother doesn't want me anymore, does Senior Brother Mu also want to protect that demon girl to bully me? I didn't do anything, why don't you all help me......"

The reproaches were full of bitterness, and they became more and more sad.

Mu Jiuge was silent for a short time, put down his hand and let go of his usual laughing expression, lowered his eyebrows and asked lightly: "I wrote to ask the big girl, and she said that she hadn't seen you in the past few months, let alone told you about Moqing, so how did you know that Moqing and Miss Yan were in Anzhou?" And Junbai, he lost his trace with you, and now that you have returned safely, don't you worry about him at all? Could it be because of ...... Did you know what happened to Junbai? ”

Bi Sheng's heart panicked, his wrist trembled slightly, and the two copper bells made a crisp sound.
