A few days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the annual Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching.

The windy weather left Tiemu Cliff on the fourth day, and then the north wind howled, the dark clouds obscured the sky, the rain was intermittent, the weather became worse day by day, and the temperature plummeted.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and then it is connected with Si Mingqin's real birthday, and the double festival is approaching, and the lively old season is two days in advance.

In the bitterly cold mid-autumn season, Tiemu Cliff is a festive place.

On this day, the wild geese from the south landed in the aviary, and the cold was not light, or it may be that they were tired and could not stand steadily. Li Zhen took it down, fed it with water and food, and built a nest in the firewood room to keep it warm.

As soon as it appeared, there was no need for Li Zhen to run and tell him, everyone knew that the envoys of the empire and the Holy See would go to the Tiemu Cliff every other day to join in the fun.

Several people crouched in front of the stove, staring at the rising flames, guessing what gifts the Empire and the Holy See would send this time.

Because Si Mingqin was really busy developing a powerful spiritual liquid, the envoys and ministers from the south were afraid that they would have to return empty-handed.

Following.

Rain break.

It was less than an hour before noon.

Mu Liu woke up from his meditation, finished his morning practice, and planned to leave the courtyard and go to the library to visit Si Mingqinzhen.

On the way, Mu Liu saw two teams of men and horses coming on the mountain road outside the castle.

Based on their attire and banners, Muryu recognized them as the Empire and the Holy See's mission.

Xiao Ding, a sheep herder, is a guide and forest ranger, and outsiders who want to cross the woods at the foot of the mountain must obtain his consent.

It was Xiao Ding who led the way in front of a herd of goats and led the mission to the bridge.

Subsequently, the old housekeeper Cai held the shelf and appeared at the bridgehead to greet him.

This time, the envoys to Tiemu Cliff are still the Imperial Envoy Minister Fu Buwei and the Holy See Cardinal Priest Kang Deyou, these two adults have received this idle errand since Si Mingqin Zhen's sixth birthday, and every year they meet to climb the mountain at a fixed time to visit Tiemu Cliff, going back and forth five times, and they are familiar with the road.

It's just that the weather is not beautiful, it has been rainy for days, and the mountain roads are muddy and difficult to walk.

The rich man had a leg disease and almost slipped on the road, but fortunately, his old acquaintance Kang took a hand in time, so he didn't make a joke, but the well-groomed official uniform was stained with mud, which made people feel very uncomfortable at this juncture on the face.

Although it may not be possible to see it yet.

The regiment's brigade of soldiers and horses were stationed in the small town outside, and the total number of men in the entourage was less than two hundred. According to the rules of Ironwood Cliff, only sixteen members of the entourage were finally qualified to follow the two envoys across the bridge into the castle, and the rest had to stay at the bridgehead to stand by.

In the past few years, the work of receiving envoys from the south has been done by Cai Bo.

Si Mingqin really missed the extraordinary moment of receiving the envoy intentionally or unintentionally for various reasons, so that the two adults didn't even know what he looked like.

Si Ming Huai'an has only appeared once.

Many years ago, the southern government and the opposition had a lot of complaints, but Tie Muya replied, "The young master is practicing in retreat."

I know that Tiemu Cliff is arrogant, but since then, no one in the world has said anything wrong.

Who can delay the cultivation of the children of runes?

There are no weak people on the Iron Wood Cliff, and this recognition of not knowing where it arose has spread throughout the north and south.

However, the depth of the Ironwood Cliff has always been a mystery to the outside world, especially to the south.

In addition to the Si Ming family, there are some other people in the small castle, no one can fully find out.

In the past few years, Fu Buwei and Kang Deyou have been in and out of Tiemu Cliff five times, and they have seen no more than five people.

Now, I still came to the familiar atrium.

In addition to the old housekeeper, it is still the two maids who serve tea.

Fu Buwei looked down at the mud spots on the hem of his official robe and sighed.

Kang Deyou was unwilling, so he stepped forward and asked respectfully behind Cai Bo: "Old man, I don't know how ...... Your Excellency"

At this moment, a boy came to the atrium and appeared in Kang Deyou's field of vision.

I also saw that the old housekeeper bowed his hand, greeted the person who came, and called the other party the young master.

The person who came was Mu Liu, holding a red apple that had bitten a small half in his hand.

He was going to the library and the back garden.

Just now he met Lao Ji and Aunt Mei on the road, and he was pulled to talk some gossip and stayed for a while. Otherwise, he would have arrived at the library by this time.

Kang Deyou and Fu Buwei glanced at each other and saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

Both of them are cultivators, and their vision is not bad.

Although the boy in front of him seemed to be a little smaller than he had imagined, it could be attributed to his cultivation. And can make the old butler bow down and salute him, and call him a young master, on this ironwood cliff, who else can he be except for the Venerable Lord who has never met?

Kang Deyou is a senior mage, about forty years old, in today's world, he is young and promising, more calm than rich and unweighed, deep in thought, and bold in his heart.

The news of the disappearance of the Son of Rune's spread from the north to the south, and there was a lot of uproar, but there was never a definite statement.

The stakes are serious, Kang Deyou sent an envoy to Tiemu Cliff this time, and also received a secret order from the archbishop to confirm this rumor.

simply turned his heart sideways, and resolutely decided to face the crime of disrespect, and released a wisp of divine sense, trying to probe the depth of this boy who suddenly appeared, and judge whether he was Si Mingqin Zhen.

However, Kang Deyou's divine consciousness was no longer able to advance an inch three feet away from Mu Liu, and it was also tragically counterattacked.

was really shocked into a cold sweat, and Kang Deyou immediately cut off the wisp of divine consciousness so as not to set himself on fire.

At that moment, Kang Deyou knelt on the ground with a "porphyr" and bowed down, scaring Fu Buwei beside him.

"Humble friends, knock to see Your Excellency. Ignorant and ignorant, please forgive your sins. ”

Fu Buwei is very clear about Kang Deyou's style of dealing with people, and guesses that he may have been broken by his hands and feet secretly. But he made such a big gift, which caused him to be burdened and embarrassed, which was really annoying. Wealth does not represent the will of the emperor, the world knows, the current emperor His Majesty is hot-tempered, how can he be subservient?

The hearts of the sixteen attendants were also groaned.

As an envoy of the Holy See, Kang Deyou represents the will of the archbishop, but he lost his status in Tiemu Cliff. Even if the other party is honorable and may become a saint like His Majesty the Pope in the future, this kneeling will inevitably be hundreds or even thousands of years earlier.

In Kang Deyou's opinion, this kneeling is very helpless.

Tiemu Cliff is an outlier of today's human race, according to reliable sources, Tiemu Cliff also has the same arrogant attitude towards the Jinghu Academy, what is it to kill an envoy who is guilty of committing a crime and taking the blame for himself?

As soon as this thought came to him, he expected the various consequences he might face. Losing your life at Ironwood Cliff is the most likely, but the least worth it. Whether or not you can leave Ironwood Cliff alive is crucial to your own response. As long as you live, you don't have to worry about having no chance to defend yourself.

After a brief hesitation, Fu Buwei bent his waist and met Mu Liu.

Mu Liu was just passing by, he didn't expect such a play, he couldn't help but be stunned, and in an instant he remembered that he was Si Mingqin's real apostle, and he was also a big man.

So, he learned from Si Mingqin Zhen and waved his hand in the wasteland at that time.

"It's all free. ”

After speaking, he was about to leave, but he was greeted by Cai Bo's intriguing smile.

Except for the unfathomable lord Si Mingzetian on the Tiemu Cliff, the rest of the people were very casual, but just now Cai Bo suddenly saluted himself, and then someone kowtowed to him, and his title changed.

Mu Liu thought for a moment and noticed the cattiness in it.

But why did this envoy ask himself for sin?

Mu Liu smelled the smell of conspiracy, and felt that these adults were very boring, and he didn't have the heart to investigate deeply, just glared at Cai Bo, and then turned to leave, completely ignoring the eager gaze of the two envoys.

Cai Boquan acted as if nothing had happened, and led Kang Deyou and Fu Buwei to sit at the table and invite tea to pick up guests.

For Fu Buwei, this time I finally saw the honorable, although I didn't say anything to behave well, but I finally had an explanation, I would not be ridiculed, and I didn't have to be scolded by the emperor as a pig's head when I went back.

It's not so simple for Kang Deyou, and his heart is up and down.

He ventured to test the depth of the wood stream, but did not get satisfactory results. Due to the presence of the old butler, he could not make a definite judgment.

Mu Liulu left as soon as he appeared, and completely cut off his follow-up.

How should I return to the decree this time?

It doesn't work in the Holy See to live like a rich man who is so confused.

If the truth is revealed in the future, but there is a discrepancy with his reply, I am afraid that he will be guilty of defrauding the king, not only his future is worrying, but his life will also be difficult to protect.

Thinking about it a little later, Kang Deyou couldn't help but sweat all over his body, and he couldn't sit still.

As for the operation of Ironwood Cliff, it is even more difficult to speculate.

Perhaps, this is just a prank played by these old guys who are too bored and have a little trick.

After that, Cai Bo took the brocade book and accepted the gift.

It will be lunch time soon, and the matter of eating cannot be delayed, Cai Boxin thought that it was too late, and today's newly burned Long Island Baji was bound to be pulled away by those monkey cubs.

He had no idea of inviting the envoys to dine with him, so he asked for tea.

The gift is delivered, the mission is achieved, it is embarrassing to stay for a moment, and after drinking half of the good Yanyun Gong tea, it is time to leave.

Kang Deyou and Fu did not get up and say goodbye.

Cai Bo didn't stay, and watched them go away.

"Take whatever you like. These mundane things, the young master doesn't need them. ”

After receiving Cai Bo's command, the two maids couldn't wait to open the sixteen gift boxes on the field one by one......

That night, Cai Bo proposed to Si Ming Huai'an, hoping that he would take Mu Liu as his adopted son.

Si Ming Huai'an agreed without hesitation.

And Cai Bo has not had time to explain the purpose of doing so.

So the next day, Muliu had another father, and Si Mingqin really became his brother.

On the same day, Tiemuya released eight red eagles, and after a few days, he officially replied to the letter from the School Palace and the Seven Great Families, announcing that Si Mingqin had returned safely.

At this point, the disappearance of the son of runes has been officially closed, and the turmoil has been settled, becoming a bizarre event in the Famen and going down in history.

At the same time, the eight red eagles also brought a bombshell message.
