"What's wrong with me?" He asked.

Yun Sheng pointed at him for a long time, and his mind turned into a paste.

The man yawned and blinked, and suddenly a person's face appeared in Yun Sheng's mind.

"You...... Are you Uncle Guan? Yun Sheng's eyes widened and he asked with some uncertainty.

He is indeed Guan Ning.

He was stunned, he didn't expect to be recognized. He had been locked up here for a long time, and he originally thought that it was impossible for him to leave here alive, and he was even mentally prepared to never see Guan Chu again, but when he saw Yun Sheng, he realized that God had not given up on him.

"You...... Are you Master Yun? Guan Ning quickly looked at Yun Sheng in front of him, and many people flashed in his mind, and the only one he hadn't seen in the yamen was Yun Sheng, so he asked uncertainly.

Yun Sheng nodded repeatedly.

"Uncle Guan, I didn't expect you to be locked up here, no wonder I couldn't find you, are you okay here?" Yun Sheng threw down the shovel in his hand and leaned up to check Guan Ning up and down.

"They didn't torture me, but why are you here? Also kidnapped? ”

Regarding this matter, Yun Sheng scratched his head and said, "I'm ashamed to say it, I've been tied up for several days. ”

"Looking at you like this, I shouldn't have tortured you, and I still don't know what he wants to do." Guan Ning dragged Yun Sheng into the house, swept the broken porcelain pieces on the ground to the wall with his feet, and made Yun Sheng a cup of hot tea.

"I don't know."

The two hostages, but without the slightest awareness of being hostages, sat in the room and talked eloquently.

A man and a woman outside the house, listening to their unnutritious conversation, couldn't help but roll their eyes, but they couldn't walk, so they had to find a nearby place to sit, and from time to time to see if the two people in the room had done anything unfavorable to them.

In reality, however, they were completely overthinking.

Yunsheng and Guan Ning get along well, and they are even planning to cook a meal here.

learned from Guan Ning that this hidden mountain village is not for people to live in, to be precise, not for the living, so when Yun Sheng came to the door of his house at the beginning, Guan Ning thought it was from Mei Mozuka, so he spoke ill of each other.

Those cups, if they fall, they will fall, anyway, they will send another set at that time.

It's just that Guan Ning has been here for so long, he doesn't understand, as a traitor, why would he still receive such preferential treatment? Shouldn't he beat himself to half death, or cut off a part of his body and send it to Guan Chu, threatening him to die for them?

When Guan Ning met Mei Mozuka's people in Fan County, he was already mentally prepared that he would not see Guan Chu marrying a wife and having children.

But he didn't expect that the other party actually brought him here directly, and then ignored him.

As a person in half of the plum mound, Guan Ning had heard of this mountain village, but he had never been there, and he had never found it, because in the news they received, this mountain village was originally a deserted village, and a group of isolated people lived here, and then a stranger came in out of nowhere.

The villagers had never seen strangers, and they were hospitable, and over time, the stranger lived, but who knows, the stranger was infected with a disease, and wanted to hide in the mountains to fend for himself, but unexpectedly stumbled into this mountain village by mistake.

If it's an ordinary disease, it's just a fatal infectious disease.

The people of a village were destroyed at his hands.

Since then, it has become a dead village.

A few years later, the people of Umezuka found this place, demolished all the houses in the village and rebuilt them, piled up the bones and relics of the villagers and burned them clean, and this became their place.

"So, is this mountain village used by them to release the dead?" Yun Sheng's back was a little cold, and when he looked at the scenery outside at this time, he was not in the same good mood as before.

Guan Ning glanced outside and said: "It can probably be said that over the years, the people of Umezuka have been on missions outside, most of them are orphans who have no fathers and mothers, and they were picked up by Umezuka's people, trained and fed, and their lives are Umezuka's, and when they are taken back, Umezuka has the final say." ”

"Isn't that pitiful."

Guan Ning chuckled: "Every time I go out on a mission, there are light and heavy, some can come back alive, and some die without a body." If they die outside, someone will go and retrieve their bones, even if it is only a finger, and they will have to be brought back and buried here. ”

"Burial...... Where are they buried? Yun Sheng clenched his teacup.

In her mind, she seemed to feel that she was stepping on the bones of those people under her feet, and she couldn't help but get hairy.

"When you first came, you must have seen the mountain across the field, right?" Guan Ning asked.

Yun Sheng nodded.

"On that mountain, they are buried."

Yun Sheng put his mind at ease, as long as he was not buried under his feet, he could be buried anywhere.

"The number of trees planted on that mountain shows how many brothers we have lost." Guan Ning said softly.

Although he betrayed Umezuka, he also fought side by side with those people, they also hugged, looked at each other and cried and laughed, they may not have seen each other's true faces until they died, but at least those sincere eyes once looked at themselves.

Those were living people.

"This place is our grave."

"I'm not one of yours, why did you bring me here?" Yun Sheng asked in confusion.

Guan Ning looked at Yun Sheng, and only spit out a sentence after a long time: "I have to ask you, I'm also very strange, he wants me to be here for the rest of my life, but why did he bring you here." ”

"And let me stay here with his dead brothers for the rest of my life?" Yun Sheng said, but obviously, she herself felt that this statement was unreliable.

Yunsheng is different from Guan Ning.

Yun Sheng is a hostage of the Eight Classics, and he can take it out to exchange the jade seal with Zhang Jiusheng.

And Guan Ning is different, he betrayed the organization, failed to complete the task, and should have been a dead man, but the surnamed Xiao did not kill him, but threw him here.

Does this mean that the surname Xiao is still a bit human?

At first, Guan Ning thought so.

But gradually, Guan Ning didn't think like that, because since he called this mountain village, the surname Xiao hadn't come to see him, and even the man and woman who were guarding him basically didn't talk to him, as if he was already a dead man.

Moreover, he was not allowed to leave the room.

"Master Yun, do you know the current situation in the capital?" Guan Ning asked suddenly.

Yun Sheng shook his head in confusion.

She has been in Fan County for many years, because of the case of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the contacts that can be contacted in the capital basically no longer exist, coupled with Zhang Jiusheng's protection of her, even if she gets a little bit of information about the capital, it is impossible to tell her.

"There are now three forces in the capital that are holding each other back, one is the current saint, one is Wu Xiang, and the other is the Liu family."

"The Liu family? Does Liu know the Liu family? Yun Sheng was a little surprised.

"Yes."

It stands to reason that the Liu family, as a businessman, coupled with Liu Zhi's previous style, is unlikely to participate in the affairs of the imperial court.

Liu Zhizhi has worked hard for most of his life to have the Liu family today, such a big family business, how could Liu Zhizhu use it to compete with Wu Zhidun and the emperor? Isn't this self-defeating?

"As far as I know, the Liu family has no one in the court."

"Money and power trading are indispensable. Liu knows that he is rich, so naturally powerful people will come to him. ”

Guan Ning was not wrong in what she said, when there was no accident in the Prime Minister's Mansion, she often heard from Liu Rushuang that some dignitaries and nobles of the Liu family often came to visit, but at that time, Liu Zhizhi always smiled and refused their cooperation, and did not have much contact with them.

At that time, it was for willow frost.

Could it be that Liu Rushuang's death caused too much damage to Liu Zhizhu?

But it's not enough to gamble on such a big family business to gamble on this winless game, right?

Liu Zhi is so old, what are you thinking?

"Liu Zhizhu is a businessman, and it is a matter of time before he steps into this fame and fortune bureau."

Yun Sheng shook his head again: "No, I don't think the key to the matter is this, Liu Zhizhu must have other reasons behind such a decision." ”

"Oh?"

The palm in the sleeve was tight and loose, loose and tight, Yun Sheng didn't know whether to tell Guan Ning what she thought, she still couldn't talk to the person in front of her who caused the shadow of Zhang Jiusheng's childhood, although they had already said a lot.

"I mean, I've seen Liu Zhizhu, he can give up the family business for his daughter, but he won't give up the family business for power."

Guan Ning raised his eyebrows, nodded, and didn't ask anything.

The sky gradually darkened, Yun Sheng touched his stomach and said embarrassedly: "I'm a little hungry." ”

"Then I'll cook." Guan Ning stood up as he spoke.

"Do you know how to cook?" Yun Sheng was a little surprised.

Guan Ning looked at her with a smile: "I pulled Chu Zi up, how can I not cook?" ”

"I'm too happy to be a hostage." Yun Sheng was ready to follow Guan Ning to see how he was cooking, but unexpectedly, the man who had been staring outside stood outside and knocked on the door frame.

The two people in the room turned their heads and saw that it was these two people, and their expressions changed.

Guan Ning became very indifferent: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Please go back to your room, dinner will be delivered on time." The man said.

"Can't you just meet and have a meal?" Yun Sheng struggled.

"Please." The man stood in the doorway and said in a tone that could not be refused.

Guan Ning sighed lightly, after all, he was under the fence, although the other party had not done anything to them at the moment, it was difficult to guarantee when he would suddenly attack them.

"Let's go back with them." Guan Ning persuaded.

Yun Sheng opened his mouth, but finally nodded, followed the man, and slowly returned to the house where the man in the white shirt sat before, and locked the door before the man left.

I just sat down, and my ass was not hot before I remembered that the room she was staying in was not hers, she didn't have a so-called exclusive room here, this was the house of the man in white shirts, so that picture?

Yun Sheng hurriedly jumped up and ran to the place where the man in white shirt had hidden the scroll before, where another landscape painting had been hung, but Yun Sheng opened it to reveal the cabinet door behind him.

"He didn't take it? Why did you let me live in this house? Yun Sheng muttered to himself.
