Chapter 42: Aftermath

This Red Leaf Ridge has some connection with the Red Sleeve Villa, which is located in a more prosperous village called Tingfeng Village to the south of the Red Leaf Ridge. Although it is a village, it is an important hub for trade and trade, and it is also the place where the Red Sleeve Villa is stationed, so it is not worse than some small towns.

The poisoning incident in Qingyun Town, the accident of the chestnut master, all this seems to clearly point to the Red Sleeve Villa. When I was still in Yangzhou, I heard that Hongye Ridge was no longer peaceful, and the people of Red Sleeve Villa seemed to be very concerned about the big war half a year later, and sent people to spread some things similar to cult ideas in Hongye Ridge as early as possible, causing several quite a stir. Nian Tong knew that Ashkun was decadent and knew that she couldn't go on like this, so she decided to go to Hongye Ridge with Yi Yang to find out the truth, but it was a pity that Tang Xi was not around, otherwise she would have been bolder.

She and Yi Yang walked on the path of Jinshui Town with an umbrella, she didn't speak, he didn't speak, the two were as quiet as a painting, only the sound of raindrops was still ringing.

Yi Yang glanced at her, his face was full of worries, as if he hadn't seen her smile for a long time since she knew the truth, he sometimes wondered if he had done something wrong, but then he wanted to end it all as soon as possible, so that he could stand beside her with peace of mind.

"Ninki." He whispered.

She let out an "ah", as if she was startled, "You call me that, I can't get used to it all of a sudden..."

He smiled nondeniably: "What are you thinking. ”

"I was thinking... What should we do in the future. ”

"Did you come up with anything?"

Nian Tong lowered his head and shook his head. The future is really confusing.

"Will you have me in the future?" He asked.

Nian Tong was stunned, he didn't think he would ask this question, and he didn't know how to answer, so he said in a daze: "How could there be no you?" In any case, at least you are my junior brother, aren't you? ”

After finishing speaking, seeing a moment of loss in his eyes, Fang felt that what he said was inappropriate, and said, "Actually... I mean. ”

"It's okay, you don't have to explain."

I know you like me.

Nian Tong's expression was a little trance, and after a while, his expression straightened up, and Chao Yiyang smiled.

After a moment of silence, I came to the post station of Qingyun Town, the rain gradually became lighter, but the atmosphere became more depressing, and people couldn't get excited. By the time the carriage was hired at the inn, it would be an hour later.

Tang Xi watched the figures of the two people silently and both entered the carriage. Hongye Ling, does she already know her identity? The closer you get to Red Sleeve Villa, the more dangerous it is for her. It's not peaceful here, but even if she has great ability, what can she do? Although he knew that Yi Yang was not a simple character, he also felt that he would not help. The apprentices he accepted... His temperament is really as stubborn as he is.

Tang Xi felt a little distressed, but he also felt proud.

He looked back at Qingyun Town and sighed. This battle... Is it finally time for a fight? Three years ago, the First World War was so tragic, and countless heroes and martyrs were killed, but they only won half a star in the Red Sleeve Villa. Now the Red Sleeve Villa is eyeing Qingyun Town, opening up business and trade connections, and approaching Jianshun. As soon as the war started, the people were struggling to make a living, not to mention... His little apprentice, with a heavy responsibility, will surely be involved in this strife.

He suddenly thought of the portrait of the dead man in that house, and for a moment he was a little frightened, and he settled down and walked into the distance.

Or do you want to stay with her...

"Yi Yang, look outside." Nian Tong pulled his arm with some joy and lifted the curtain of the carriage. Before I could see the scenery outside the window, I already saw a large area of red. Yi Yang's expression also brightened, it was a maple leaf.

"What a beautiful maple forest." He couldn't help but admire. In Hongye Ridge, the area of maple leaves is far more than this one, all over the mountains, to the valley, to the riverside, all maple trees. The autumn equinox has arrived, and the maple leaves are blooming in their enchanting colors, and red smudges everywhere they can see.

"yes, if only there weren't so much strife here."

I only heard the coachman outside sigh: "The young man knows that the red-sleeved villa has been very rampant recently, lobbying everywhere, just to make the people's hearts sway and the court to turmoil!" ”

"That's what we're here for." Nian Tong replied.

Yi Yang felt a little strange and asked, "Since so many people have been convinced, why do you hate Red Sleeve Villa so much?" ”

"The young man doesn't know. The old man's daughter was killed by the Red Sleeve Villa. The old man's daughter was twenty-eight years old, and she went to Ruoyanmen to study because of her freedom and weak health, and died in the hands of those people in those so-called wars three years ago! ”

When the coachman spoke of emotion, his voice was a little choked.

Nian Tong asked carefully: "Then have you ever resented the imperial court..."

"My daughter has contributed to the stability and grandeur of this court with her life, how can I be resentful! I only hope that the Red Sleeve Villa can be removed as soon as possible and return the world to a peaceful and prosperous world! ”

"Definitely."

Nian Tong sighed heavily, leaned back on the carriage, lowered his head, and his good mood dissipated.

Yi Yang lowered his head and said to her, "Don't worry too much. ”
