Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

Master? It seems that this old man is by no means an ordinary person, it must not be simple to have such a mansion in such an ordinary town, he must be a high-ranking official, or a businessman. In short, it is not simple, and the mansion you live in must be extraordinary.
The old man turned to look at us and said, "Two young heroes, please." ā
I motioned to Cui Li beside me, and strode towards the old man's mansion.
"Sir... Who are these two? The doorman asked in the old man's ear.
"It's all the old man's friends, you quickly let people clean up the two houses, so that the two of them can have a good rest." After the old man finished speaking, the doorman withdrew.
But before the doorman had gone a few steps, the old man suddenly became angry and shouted, "You doorman just said..." The old man suddenly looked at me and Cui Li, and then stopped his anger and said: "After cleaning up the two of you's residence, come to the hall to see the old man." Although the voice of the sentence was not loud, I could clearly feel a deep anger burning.
"Yes. Master. "Looking at the doorman's expression, you should know why the old man is angry. The doorman gestured to Cui Li and me, "Please come with me, two of you." ā
We were led through the courtyard by the doorman to a chic courtyard: "You two rest here tonight, I have asked people to take care of everything, and if there is any command, just say that you will retreat first."
"Wait, look nervous between your words, I don't know what's going on?" I wondered why the old man was suddenly angry.
"It's... On weekdays, if you are lazy, the lord should be angry, and I still need to go to the hall, so I won't disturb the two of you to rest. The doorman turned and left.
"Iā" Before I could finish speaking, the doorman was almost gone.
"Cheng Yin, I think this should be their family matter, let's not meddle in our affairs, let's rest for a while, don't we have to rush back to the Shu army camp tomorrow?" After Cui Li finished speaking, he walked towards the house.
No, Mr. Ouyang Yu's design is exquisite, there must be some kind of secret in it, maybe it will be helpful to unlock the strange array, and it is also possible. I walked in the direction the doorman had left. Either way, I'm going to find out.
"Cheng Yin, where are you going?" Cui Li shouted behind him.
"I'm going to go over and have a look." I replied casually.
I strode up, and although Cui Li didn't want to go with me, he finally chose to go with me to the hall.
As soon as we arrived in the hall, we heard the old man in a rage inside, shouting and reproaching someone.
"What do you say!! Childe is no longer at home!! So where the hell did he go? Before I reached the door, I could hear the scolding in the hall.
"Master, Childe heard that the city... Someone in the city started ... Do... Lectures, study books... Calligraphy pen and ink, so just before... Go and visit. The doorman said intermittently, a bit of Hu Zaide's feeling.
"It's nonsense!! Studying calligraphy? He only knows how to dance with a sword on weekdays, and it is more difficult for him to learn calligraphy than to ascend to the sky!! How do you go to the city to visit teachers to study? It must be taking advantage of my absence from home these days to sneak into the city to play, right? The old man was furious.
"Daddy, younger brother, although he likes to dance and play swords on weekdays, he is also chivalrous, this time he must go to the city to visit a famous master to learn swordsmanship, Daddy, don't be so angry." In addition to the old man and the doorman, there was also a beautiful woman standing in the hall, who should not be very old, with a fluttering Luo skirt and splendid silk.
"Shuang'er, look at your brother, if you are so sensible, how worry-free your father should be. But... It's because my father spoils him too much on weekdays, so he will... It's a pity that my Wang family has been a scholarly family for generations, and when it comes to your brother..."The old man looked very heartbroken.
"Daddy, Mo'er is just young, and in a few years, she will definitely understand Daddy's hard work." The woman named Frost persuaded her.
"Well... The old man's anger had obviously subsided a lot.
"Childe, where is he going?" The old man turned his head to look at the doorman and asked.
Childe said...... "The fairy tale came to his mouth but swallowed it back.
"You're going to say it quickly!! Where the hell did he go? The old man asked.
"Gangneung Castle." The doorman spoke very lightly.
"What!! Gangneung Fortress !! He didn't know that Liu Xuande threw troops this time for Jiangling! He also went to Gangneung Fortress specifically? The anger that the old man had just dissipated suddenly ignited.
"The lord is angry, the lord is angry." Seeing this, the doorman was so frightened that he hurriedly bowed to the ground.
"Daddy, drink water. Mo'er has its own measure, please rest assured. Shuang'er hurriedly handed over the tea cup on the table.
The old man took the teacup, drank a few sips, and said calmly: "The old man visited a distant friend, left home for several months, and came back today to pray for blessings in the town, but this time he arrived home... How long has Childe been away from home? The old man asked with an angry glare at the doorman.
"Back to the old man, it's been more than a month..."The doorman didn't dare to look into the old man's eyes.
"What!! It's been more than a month!! When the old man heard this, he was furious and slammed the teacup in his hand on the ground.
This scared the doorman a lot, and even the frost beside him was shocked.
"You!! You!!! Okay, you're Zhao Yan!! is lazy and lazy on weekdays, and the old man does not blame much. But now that Mo'er has been away from home for many days, you have not mentioned a word in your letter, and said that Mo'er is studying diligently at home!! If it weren't for the fact that you've been by Mo'er's side since I was a child, I... I... I will drive you out of my palace today!! The old man suddenly became agitated, and his cheeks flushed.
"The lord is angry, the little one knows that he is wrong, the lord, you must not drive the little one out of the palace, the little one has been by the side of the prince since he was sensible, and he will do his best, lord, you can see what the little one has done for the palace for so many years, don't drive me out of the palace." The doorman was really scared.
"Daddy, although Zhao Yan is not diligent enough by Mo'er's side, he is not too much at fault, not to mention that he has followed Mo'er since he was a child, if Mo'er didn't see Zhao Yan when he went back, he would definitely be..."
"He's still capable of coming back!! If he comes back, you'll see how I'll clean him up!! Zhao Yan, the old man asked you, if you still dare to fool the old man, today is the day you leave my palace!! The old man's eyes seemed to burst into flames.
"The little one understands, the little one understands, the little one asks, the little one must know everything, and the words are endless." Zhao Yan seemed to see the last hope.
