"How? Are you still saying you're not interested? Don't worry, if I hadn't really found out, I wouldn't have made fun of this. ”

"Go home."

Wen Changheng took the lead in getting into the carriage, Zhao Lingrui followed behind, Xie Lingbai stood in place in confusion, and Wei Xue asked him, "Xie Dashao is not going back?" ”

"Yes."

Xie Lingbai walked to the side of the carriage and climbed up, sat down opposite Zhao Lingrui, Zhao Lingrui grinned at him: "Xiaobai, meet again~"

Little White ...... Xie Lingbai wanted to hit someone, but considering that he was in the carriage now, and Wen Changheng was still sitting beside him, he endured it.

After the group returned to the Wen Mansion, Zhao Lingrui followed Wen Changheng into the study, Wei Xue stepped forward and closed the door of the study, turned around and saw Xie Lingbai staring at him, and explained: "The master and my cousin should have something very important to discuss, Xie Dashao, let's wait here for a while." ”

As he spoke, Xie Lingbai glanced at the closed study door, and then followed Wei Xue to the stone table in the courtyard and sat down.

"Xie Dashao got off work so early today?"

Wei Ze saw that Xie Lingbai was a little depressed, so he took the initiative to find a topic, and Xie Lingbai replied listlessly: "Because the master said that he would take me to buy a pulse pillow." ”

"I see."

"Wei Ze, do you know what your cousin said just now?"

"Said a man's name."

"Who?"

"A person who is very important to the master, but I don't think I can reveal who it is."

"Very important person...... Xie Lingbai recalled Wen Changheng's expression just now, he was so surprised just by hearing the name, how important that person was in his heart can be imagined.

"You can't say the name, it's a man or a woman, right?"

Wei Xue was a little embarrassed, hesitated for a while and said: "Xie Dashao, it's better for you to ask the master about these things in person, if the master is willing to say, he will tell you." ”

"Usually when I ask him questions, he won't answer them."

Xie Lingbai has always felt that he is getting closer and closer to Wen Changheng recently, and the relationship is getting better and better, but at this moment, he found that he didn't know Wen Changheng at all from beginning to end.

So the recent rapport is just an illusion unilaterally generated by yourself?

"Wei Ze, I remember that you weren't in Sunset City, right?"

Xie Lingbai grew up in Xiyao City since he was a child, and he had the impression that Yucaoxuan seemed to have only appeared four or five years ago, and at that time it was said that the boss was from outsider.

"Yes, my master and I arrived in Xiyao City five years ago."

"And where are you originally from?"

"Imperial City."

"Imperial City?" Xie Lingbai was a little surprised, it would take almost a month to take a carriage from here to the imperial city, but he didn't expect Wen Changheng to come from such a distant place.

"Then you have been with Wen Changheng since you were a child?"

"No, I've been with my master for six years."

Xie Lingbai was a little envious, he really wanted to meet Wen Changheng earlier, so maybe he wouldn't be like now, he didn't know anything.

"Then why did you come from the Imperial City to the Imperial City? At such a distance, if you talk about doing business, isn't the imperial city more prosperous? ”

"This... Because something happened, it was ......"

"Understood, you can't say these things, right?!"

Wei Ze smiled a little embarrassedly, Xie Lingbai didn't force him to tell the truth, he couldn't say that he would change to other questions.

"Then you are so far away, won't your parents at home worry?"

"My father and mother both knew that I was here, and they didn't urge me to go back, but my mother always hoped that I could get married as soon as possible, as for the master's words...... His mother died when he was very young. ”

"And what about his father?"

"The relationship between the master and his father is not very good, even when he was in the imperial city, they all lived separately, and there was no communication when they usually met."

Xie Lingbai was a little surprised, he thought that Wen Changheng's parents might have long been gone, so he lived alone in this Xiyao City, but what he didn't expect was that his father was still alive, but the relationship was not good.

It is said that the father and son did not have an overnight feud, and Xie Lingbai used to have disputes with Xie Sheng'an over some trivial matters, but it was usually fine after a few days.

Therefore, the dispute between Wen Changheng and his father must have been much more serious than he imagined, and Xie Lingbai's eyes couldn't help but move to the study.

"You'd better be serious."

In the study, Wen Changheng's voice sounded a little serious, and Zhao Lingrui also changed his previous attitude of giggling, nodded and said: "Of course, but I really don't know the specifics, I only know that there are strange things, and you have to investigate the rest yourself." ”

"You can go."

"You really like to cross the river and tear down the bridge as always, but forget it, everyone, good brothers, if I really care about you, I won't come all the way to find you."

"I don't think you're here to tell me the news."

"Of course!"

Wen Changheng's eyes were faint, and Zhao Lingrui smiled: "Okay, I admit it, I mainly sneaked out of the palace to play around, and I didn't plan to reveal this, but I had to say it as a quid pro quo for staying." ”

"Call Wei Ze when you go out."

Zhao Lingrui nodded, but did not leave, looking a little hesitant.

"There's a question I wanted to ask the last time I saw you." Zhao Lingrui was entangled again and again and asked: "Wen Xun (xún), why can't I feel a trace of internal force when I see you these times, whether judging from your breath or steps?" ”

Wen Changheng remained silent, and Zhao Lingrui saw that his face was calm, as if he was not asking, and asked in disbelief: "From the bright future of all eyes to the present to the businessman dealing with abacus account books all day long, Wen Xun, don't you really feel pity at all?" Where did your ambition and passion go? ”

"It's my business, it's none of your business."

"But I wonder if my good brother who is omnipotent and energetic can come back?"

Wen Changheng raised his eyebrows and smiled bitterly: "Heh... Omnipotent...... The so-called omnipotence is nothing but the arrogance of youth and ignorance......"

"Okay, don't talk about this, but what about your kung fu? What about your internal strength? Didn't you be a good person when you left the Imperial City? Or did something happen to you after that......

"Prince."

Wen Changheng's eyes were a little gloomy, Zhao Lingrui nodded, and compromised: "Okay, this is your business, I don't ask, but if I can't ask from you, it doesn't mean that I won't check it myself, I want to see how decadent you plan to be!" ”

After Zhao Lingrui finished speaking, he turned around and walked directly to the door, opened the door of the study, and paused for a while before walking out, Xie Lingbai and Wei Xue in the courtyard looked at him instantly.

Zhao Lingrui lowered his head and took a deep breath, and when he looked up again, the expression just now had been swept away, he smiled, hooked his hand towards Wei Xue in the courtyard, and said, "Your master called you." ”

Wei Ze got up and entered the study, Wen Changheng stood by the bookshelf, and he couldn't tell how the conversation between the two of them was going from his demeanor.

"Master."

"Send a few people to follow Ling Rui secretly."

"Just follow? Don't have to send him back to the Imperial City? ”

"Don't use it for the time being, investigate clearly, what is the real purpose of his coming to Xiyao City this time, send a few more, and ensure his safety while investigating."

"Yes."

"And ......" Wen Changheng's eyes were slightly deep, and he paused for a while before continuing: "Check what happened five years ago and investigate thoroughly." ”

Wei Xue was a little surprised, it seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really brought great news this time, no wonder he was so confident that the master was willing to let him stay just now.

In the courtyard, Zhao Lingrui was stared at by Xie Lingbai, he raised his hands and said, "Xiaobai, why are you staring at me like this?" I declare in advance that I am with Wen... Wen Changheng is innocent, he was just saying something, don't think crookedly. ”

"Cousin, what the hell did you ...... just now?"

"Wait, what do you call me?"

"Cousin ......"

"Please, I'm older than you no matter how I look at it, you should call me big brother!"

"I don't think so."

"Okay, tell me about your birthday."

"Twentieth of the twelfth year of the river."

"Haha, I'm December 16th, how's that? Call Big Brother! ”

"Cut, just four days."

"Four hours is counted, let alone four days, hurry up!"

Zhao Lingrui urged, Xie Lingbai suddenly said: "Don't divert the topic from me, you tell me honestly, what did you say to my master in the study just now?" ”

"Do you really want to know?"

"Of course."

"It's not impossible, it's just that what are you going to exchange for?"

Zhao Lingrui smiled treacherously/deceitfully, Xie Lingbai was stunned, exchange? He's penniless, what can he trade it for?
