For several days, the smell of sandalwood appeared in the courtyard.

I am sure that in this mansion, in addition to Lin Suwen and me, there must be other people.

He was hiding in the shadows, watching me all the time.

When I told Lin Suwen about this speculation, Lin Suwen said that it was impossible, after all, except for him and Xiao Zhuo, no one knew that I was here, let alone someone from the Fu family?

Seeing that he was so sure, I also hesitated, maybe my eyes were blind and I couldn't see things, so I was a little suspicious.

After hiding in the forest house for a few days, my eyes gradually recovered a little, and with Lin Suwen's spell suppressing the soul spell in my body, I was barely able to see things.

Can't wait to go back to the Red Smell Museum.

Walking out of the house, walking on the road on the outskirts of the city with Lin Suwen, I saw that less than fifteen zhang away from the house, there were several families, and there were three or four children squatting under the tree to play with stones, but the family hurriedly ran over and took the children away, and muttered: "Didn't I tell you that the house is haunted, and the ghosts cry wolves and howl to scare people to death, don't play here?" ”

Lin Suwen looked at me, and that look seemed to ask me what hurtful things I did behind his back.

I hurriedly said, "It's none of my business, I'm just singing a few songs when I'm bored, which ghost cries wolf?" ”

Sensing that the depiction was getting darker and darker, I tentatively asked, "Why don't you ...... Shall I sing a paragraph to you? ”

Lin Suwen immediately walked away.

"Hey ......"

I was unconvinced and said, "Young Master Ben sings very well, okay?" It's your blessing to hear it, and you dare to dislike me! ”

When I returned to the museum, I received the news that Xiao Zhuo asked me to go to the Northern Regions, and he ordered me to find the Lumei Villa that was hidden in the rivers and lakes many years ago, and the external reason was that twenty years ago, King Jing's Mansion was accidentally slaughtered, and that villa was related to solving the unsolved case of the year, but I knew that he was worried about me and wanted me to unravel the soul spell on my body.

But now, due to the floods in Qindi, Xiao Zhuo's decision has made the world talk a lot, and he is also struggling in the court, King Rui and some ministers are eyeing him all day long, just want to find some of his faults in the affairs of Qindi, and take this opportunity to attack him, and there is also a Suhe Lan clan, although those assassins are dead, but they died unclearly, no one knows how far their power has developed, in case of a comeback, assassinating him and Xiao Yu, Lin Suwen and I are not there, who can protect them?

Whether it is the kindness of the people of Qindi for saving me, or the brotherhood that I hope for, I owe Xiao Zhuo a lot of things, and I will definitely not leave until his safety is confirmed.

Therefore, after receiving the edict, I went to find Xiao Zhuo, but he didn't see me, and only asked people to pass me one thing-

A broken sword forged in black gold.

It was my father's sword.

I accompanied him to fight for more than ten years, witnessed his glory and glory, and finally folded in the yellow sand of the north like my father.

The difference is that those generals were able to pick up at least half of the sword after fighting hard, but my father didn't even find his body.

I know what Xiao Zhuo means.

He wanted to remind me not to forget the hatred of my family, and wanted me to go to the north to unlock the soul curse and the truth about the killing of my people.

I want to be like my father, hold this broken sword, stand by his side, help him fight against foreign enemies, and protect the country of Shengliang.

In fact, in the past, my family and country were too far away for me, and I didn't like disputes, and I didn't like the calculation and insidiousness in power, but now, I want to protect him and do something for him.

Although my surname is Wei and his surname is Xiao, the connection between us is not the blood relationship he thought, but a deep feud and a sea of blood.

That day, I sat on the roof of the Emperor's Grandson's Mansion, looking at Xiao Zhuo opposite receiving his subordinates, looking very busy.

They didn't notice me, and I just wanted to sneak in and see for a while to make sure he was really okay before I could be completely reassured.

Lin Suwen stood next to me, and I asked him: "Recently, King Rui is in the court, so it is not difficult for His Highness, right?" ”

He hummed, and I sighed again: "That being the case, why do you want us to leave when we are hiring?" ”

"I want to ......"

Lin Suwen paused and said, "Compared to these, His Highness wants to see you alive." ”

I picked up the wooden box that Xiao Zhuo had handed me to me, which contained my father's broken sword, and muttered, "...... alive"

With a wry smile, he stood up: "Let's go." ”

I went out of Shengjing with my junior sister and Lu Weilou, maybe I was afraid that I would have an accident on the road, so Xiao Zhuo also asked Lin Suwen and his senior brother to accompany him.

I'm still worried about his situation.

Originally, with Sheng Jing's current situation, my departure was enough to make him trouble, and now, if Lin Suwen and Senior Brother are transferred to me, who else can he rely on?

Seeing my worries, my senior brother comforted me and said that although General Zhang He's martial arts are not as good as him, his wisdom is above him, and he guards the palace, which can ensure that the king is safe, and in addition, the emperor's grandson's mansion is guarded by people from the Lin family, and Xiao Zhuo has also ordered Lin Yiqiu to come to escort him, even if there are really people from the Suhe Lan clan in the city, they don't dare to act rashly when they see the head of the Lin family in charge.

Hearing this, I was a little relieved.

The group rode horses, and since Lu Weilou couldn't ride horses, they could only hire another carriage and hurriedly march towards the northern region.

I heard from my sister that Lumei Villa is built in a snow-capped mountain, where it is cold and snowy all year round, and there is almost no change of season, so the plum tree called Pearl Sea can bloom all year round.

After the death of Mei Liyun and that Mrs. Lu, there are now only two owners left in Lu Mei Villa, one is Mei Liyun's daughter named Mei Hexue, and there is a son named Mei Hexuan.

The two are siblings of the same mother, but now, the affairs of the entire villa are all taken care of by Mei Hexue, and Mei Hexuan, as the young master, obeys her sister's arrangement in every detail.

The younger sister also said that the two siblings have strange temperaments and do not like to interact with outsiders very much, so we should be careful.

Seeing that she swore by her, I couldn't help but wonder, could they really have found the location of Lumei Villa?

After more than ten days of driving, I finally came to the inn in the northern region, which was remote and poor, and even the inn was built very simply.

The wooden wall, covered with a thatched roof, a small bridge at the door, because it is winter, the north is also relatively cold, the stream has condensed the ice, the bridge and the inn door are planted with plum trees, the trees have been sporadically bloomed a few plum blossoms, although not as good as the pearl sea that Mrs. Lu likes, but it has a unique elegance and chic.

After settling the horses and sitting in the inn, he looked up and saw that the weather was gloomy and seemed to want snow.

A cold wind hit, I couldn't help but slap my hands, and the senior brother on the side said angrily: "Let you bring a few more clothes before leaving, but you just refuse, you, always make people so worried." ”

My hand froze, and I sighed helplessly: "Senior brother, the luggage of so many of us is already enough, and if you take it again, Dr. Lu's carriage will not be able to be stuffed." ”

The people in the north are bold and generous, and the store is quite embarrassed when they see us hurrying, and when they haven't ordered, they have privately served a pot of free wild goat soup, saying that it is for us to drive away the cold.

As soon as the broth was served on the table, the fishy smell came to her face, and the junior sister covered her nose and asked, "What is this, it smells so bad?" ”

The shopkeeper introduced: "Girl, don't underestimate this wild goat soup, this is the treasure of our northern region, people who want to go to the snow mountain, if you don't drink a bowl of broth to ward off the cold before leaving, when you get to the mountain, your legs are so cold that you shiver, and you can't even walk!" ”

The wild sheep on this mountain are not the same as the domestic ones, and they have a very strong smell, but fortunately I have no sense of taste now, and no matter what kind of unpalatable things are, they are all a taste in my place.

I took the bowl in the shop's hand and took a few sips while it was hot, and I immediately felt comfortable all over my body, and a warm current stretched out along the tendons.

When he raised his eyes, he saw Lin Suwen sitting motionless on the stool, not eating or speaking.

I deliberately teased him, raised the bowl in my hand, and said, "Young Master Lin, do you want to drink a little, didn't you listen to the shopkeeper, if you don't drink this broth, you won't be able to walk on the mountain!" ”

Lin Suwen glanced at me lightly and looked away.

The people of the Lin family, in order to show their otherworldly temperament, are forbidden to eat meat.

Moreover, with Lin Suwen's level of cleanliness, it is already a great concession to be willing to sit here with us, how dare he force him to eat such a fishy and thing with us again?

"Scarlet, don't be so rude!"

The senior brother scolded softly, and said angrily: "Why do you always like to tease Lin Gongzi like this?" ”

"This ......"

I thought about it for a while, and said very innocently: "Look, if I don't talk to him, you won't talk to him, let him sit there alone and stunned, how embarrassing, you look rude, maybe he likes me to tease him like this." ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Suwen couldn't bear to pick up the ink pool on the table, got up and left.

"Hey, where are you going......"

I was about to raise my voice to call him, but when I saw that there were other guests in the inn, I could only fall silent and sit sullenly.

Are you really angry?

I muttered in my heart, and at the same time I was a little weak-hearted, you must know that Young Master Lin is angry, and it is even more difficult to coax than an eighteen-year-old girl.

Glancing at it, I saw Lu Weilou next to him, drinking expressionlessly with a bowl, I couldn't help but feel strange: "Xiaolou, don't you think this soup has a strong smell and is difficult to swallow?" ”

The senior brother also picked up the bowl, looked at the yellow broth inside, and hesitated to drink it: "That's true." ”

Lu Weilou was stunned, looked at the soup in the bowl, and then looked at us and said stupidly: "Maybe I have tasted herbs since I was a child, and my taste is different from others, but I don't think there is anything unpleasant." ”

Hearing this, I suddenly felt that he and his junior sister might really be a pair made in heaven, a pair set in the ground.

At least don't dislike the food cooked by my sister is unpalatable, which is very important.

The younger sister said: "There are still two days of travel from Lumei Villa, and if you go further, the carriage will not be able to move forward, I think, we still entrust the horses here and walk up the mountain." ”

The senior brother nodded, picked up the bowl, sniffed it closely, and finally put it down unbearably.
