Chapter 206: Cui's (1)
In the warm yellow halo, the master and the servant all had gray sideburns, and Hong Yan was a little puzzled for a while. He turned his face to look at the masked man for some reason, but the other party didn't pay attention to it, and only motioned for him to take a closer look. Hong Yan turned his gaze back to the two people in the hallway, searching hard in his memory, but he still didn't think of any bits and pieces about the two people below.
The woman leaning on the soft couch looked out the window, her face was tired but still stubbornly sat there and refused to go back to sleep, and the grandmother on the side had to stare at her with good eyes, for fear that something would go wrong.
After a stick of incense, Hong Yan on the roof also watched a stick of incense. He looked at the woman's sad face, and there was a faint pain in his heart for no reason, and the loneliness and loneliness ate away at her last life, but she still didn't give up anything, what she hoped for...... "Who is she?" Is it related to me? ”
It's not surprising that the blood is connected, and the heart feels something.
The masked man was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "She just ordered the people around her to burn her into ashes and send her back to Cui's house after she dies." ”
"The Cui family?" Hong Yan's eyes widened suddenly, and he turned his head sharply to look at the woman. She ...... Is it the Cui family? ”
The Cui family is Hong Yan's foreign family and her mother's maiden family. However, the Cui family has long been annihilated in the power of the court and no longer exists...... Otherwise, why did Hong Yan wander around in the past nineteen years, and finally became a pawn in the hands of others!
The masked man obviously didn't know the inside story, and said: "There is only one Cui family in the Yan Mansion from beginning to end, that is, your mother Cui, guess who the next person will be." ”
Hong Yan was almost numb to a statue, he never thought that his mother was still alive. If he had known, would everything have turned out differently...... He forcefully pulled himself out of the shock and said, "How so? ”
"What is the reason, it is best to ask in person, if she were your mother, she would definitely tell you the truth herself. Besides, since she is very useful, and you just have the opportunity to face the saint tomorrow, why don't you do anything, rob her and leave here, control her in our hands, recapture the Yan family in one fell swoop, and win the emperor's trust. ”
His tone seemed as if the Cui clan was just something that could be utilized. In addition, Hong Yan's body was cold. He glanced at Hong Yan deeply, snorted lightly, and said, "For you, she may be your mother, but for me, I can only see what can be used in her." However, you and I have the same purpose, will you end up leaving her unused for nothing? ”
Hong Yan stared at the masked man fiercely and said, "What are you going to do." ”
"Kill all the people here, lest anyone report to Yan Shicheng. Tonight you should ask what you should ask, and I see that the woman's condition seems to be very bad, and she may die at any time, and then you will only end up in vain. ”
Hong Yan glanced at him coldly and said, "In that case, what are you talking about, let's do it!" ”
The masked man sneered lightly, flew off the roof, and the two people guarding the door were also among the masters, and they were immediately alert, and both turned around to meet the comer. However, as soon as he looked at him, the guards were hit by the masked man's tricky and vicious moves, and fell back again and again, falling into the disadvantage. One of the guards pinched a small bamboo whistle in his hand and shook it twice, and a low, short whistle sounded immediately.
Ji Erlan, who was hiding in the secret passage under the mansion, heard the sound of the bamboo whistle, looked at the Yan family guards who were out of breath on the ground, smiled lightly, and said to Yuechen: "Remember, you only need to lure that masked man away and touch the other party's path, you don't need to fight to the death, you must put your own life first." Do you understand? ”
"Yes!" Chen didn't have half a word of nonsense, and turned around and walked out of the secret passage.
The battle outside had come to an end, and the masked man shook his sword, and the guard had a thin blood mark on his neck, and he was killed on the spot. Seeing this, Yuechen made a move with the wind blade, and the momentum was awe-inspiring, approaching the bronze mask on the opponent's face, but the mask man was extremely fast, and a few flashes and movements had already reached the outside range of the wind blade's attack.
Yuechen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he went head-on, and the offensive was extremely powerful, but they were all defused by the other party one by one.
The masked man chuckled softly, as if mocking Yuechen for being useless. Seeing this, Yuechen retreated sharply, and swept into the darkness around him in a flash, and the masked man was stunned, and concluded that the other party must have gone to report to Yan Shicheng, and immediately flew after him.
The courtyard suddenly became quiet, and Hong Yan came out of the lower room, with blood still on his hands. He stood in front of the door of the main house, stunned.
The apricot blossoms in the small courtyard were blooming just right, and the dense bushes were pressed on the branches, and the faint fragrance swept through Hong Yan's heart, and he had a familiar feeling, as if a hidden memory in his body was reminding him that the people who lived here had appeared in his life. He took a few steps forward, and suddenly he felt a sense of homesickness, which forced him to stop here.
He looked at the couplet posted on the side of the door, which read: Fei Cai traversed the Qinghua land, and realized the Buddha's prescription until the body.
Fame and fortune are things outside the body, and they are insignificant in the face of deep and far-reaching meditation. Is this the state of mind of the people inside at this time? There is a deep shadow in Hong Yan's eyes, maybe only those who are dead can realize that fame and fortune are just passing clouds, and at this time, he will inevitably have to fight for these at all.
He calmed his mind, and finally stepped forward and pushed the door open.
Inside, Mama He stood in front of Cui's and looked at the visitor with horror on her face. The 'who' on the side of his mouth immediately changed after seeing Hong Yan's face: "You are the Yan family?" ”
The men of the Yan family all have a peerless appearance, and Hong Yan is no exception, it is said that his eyebrows and eyes are almost carved out of the same mold as Master Yan. And his lips are very similar to his mother Cui's, Hong Yan thought of this and subconsciously looked at the corners of Cui's lips.
Mama He's body moved, blocked Cui's death, protected her behind her, and said, "He asked you to kill Madame?" ”
Hong Yan didn't see Cui's clearly, turned his gaze back to Mama He, and asked, "He?" You mean Yan Shicheng? ”
Hearing his tone, Mama He didn't seem to be half respectful to Yan Xiang, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled, just as she didn't know what to do, Cui Shi behind her suddenly spoke: "Mama." ”
When Mama He heard Cui's call, she immediately knelt down at her feet and then looked at her face by candlelight: "Madam, you're not scared, are you?" ”
Cui's gaze looked straight at Hong Yan, and after a while, a smile spread out between her lips, like a smile on ice and snow, like a cloud and fog: "I waited for you after all, my child ......"
Hong Yan's heart seemed to be grabbed fiercely, and it throbbed violently. He looked at Cui Shi in a daze, vaguely distinguishing her face, look, and figure...... When Cui's family married Master Yan, the name of a beautiful woman was not enough to describe her beauty, plus she was from a noble background, and she was a beautiful woman from famous families vying to marry, but at this time, has she withered to this point?
Hong Yan looked at Cui Shi in a daze, and was speechless for a while.
Mama He looked at him in shock, but the words in her mouth were asked by Cui's. "Ma'am? He...... Is it a young master? How would you know ......"
"My own child, how could I not recognize it." Cui's calm expression added a little vividness, and her condition seemed to have improved all of a sudden, making her look a lot younger, she raised her arm slightly, stretched out to Hong Yan, and said softly: "Come here, let me take a good look at you." ”
The dagger in Hong Yan's hand fell to the ground with a bang, he could barely control himself, and walked towards the woman in front of him step by step. He had never longed for affection so much in his heart, because he thought he had never had it. At this moment, he turned his back on his own defense, and walked towards the woman in front of him without resistance. "Are you really alive?"
Cui Shi looked at Hong Yan lovingly, a pair of eyes could still see the beauty of the past, she said: "Poor child, what have you experienced over the years, what has made your heart so embarrassed, and when you see your mother, you don't dare to trust it easily?" She glanced at Mama He, who immediately got up and took a box, the style of the box was very ordinary, but the lacquered wood on it was rubbed extremely smooth, and it looked like something that people often played with in their hands.
Cui Shi opened the box, took out the contents and dragged it in his hand, it was half a snow-white handkerchief. She said: "This is the handkerchief that I cut when I asked Uncle Hu to send you away, and I also split a jade glass bead into two and fell on it, do you still have it on you?" ”
Hong Yan took out half of the snow pegga from his arms, spread it out and put it on the table at hand. He put half of the handkerchief in the box beside him.
The handkerchief was originally embroidered with a and Di Lian, because the middle was cut, the edge of the silk thread collapsed, a little scattered, but it is these scattered threads, others can not fake imitation, and the jade beads on the corner of the Pa are a pair of thin pairs, also completely consistent. Hong Yan couldn't control his body trembling slightly, and he shed tears for the first time in his life. He said, "Mother, is it really you?" ”
Cui Shi nodded with a smile, the sorrow between her eyebrows disappeared in an instant, she said: "Mama He, you see, I didn't wait in vain, and finally saw my child before I died......"
Mama He couldn't control her tears: "Madam, you won't die, when the young master comes back, he won't watch you die." ”
Hong Yan looked at Cui Shi at a loss, feeling her weakness, Cui Shi stroked the hair on his sideburns and comforted: "Hong'er doesn't have to worry about her mother, her mother's own body, she knows it." I don't have much time, and if you can find this place to meet me, I can go in peace. ”
"Mother......" Hong Yan was full of doubts, knowing that he should quickly ask everything clearly, but he didn't know where to start for a while.
Cui Shi said: "While I still have the strength, I will tell you all the things of the year, you listen carefully and remember it firmly." ”
Hong Yan nodded, not daring to relax at all. Seeing this, Mama He immediately got up and said, "Madam, young master, you speak slowly, and the slave and maid go to the door to guard." ”
