But he said that He Luwei didn't dare to pause for a moment, and hurriedly came to the Jin Pavilion where Lingyun was.

He first saluted Ling Yun, and then asked respectfully, "I don't know what Commander Ling has to say when he comes to find the old slave?" ”

A calm smile appeared on Ling Yun's handsome and dustless face, and he said gently, "Steward He is too polite. I invited the housekeeper to come, but because I was temporarily unable to move, I asked the housekeeper to do something on behalf of Lingyun. ”

He Luwei hurriedly said: "Commander Ling only needs to tell him if he has anything, and the old slave will definitely do his best to do it." ”

Ling Yun said: "Actually, there is nothing to do, that is, when Ling Yun was in Zhengyang Building a few days ago, he temporarily stored the sword and other clothes there; Because there was something temporary, it has been delayed until now, and I haven't had time to pick it up.

Therefore, I bothered the housekeeper to arrange for someone to go to Zhengyang Tower, and Dai Lingyun took those things back. Ling Yun thanked the housekeeper in advance. ”

As he spoke, he arched his hand at him.

He Luwei smiled slightly: "This kind of thing, Commander Ling only needs to order, why should he be so polite?" The old slave will take two people to do it. ”

Ling Yun frowned slightly, and said a little uneasily: "It's just to get something, it's not a big deal, just arrange someone to do it, why bother the housekeeper to run it personally?" The housekeeper was so enthusiastic that Ling Yun's heart was uneasy. ”

He Luwei smiled courteously: "Commander Ling, why do you need to be like this, you are a distinguished guest in the palace, but everything you command is a big deal." For the sake of safety, it is better for the old slave to go on a trip in person. Arrange a person who is careless, in case there is anything wrong with the pool, and the big thing is delayed, it will not be good......"

Seeing that He Lu was so humble and humble, Ling Yun knew that this must be the arrangement of Princess Evergreen, and a warm heat wave unconsciously surged into his heart; The original cold heart suddenly warmed up like rippling spring water.

So he was no longer polite, and only smiled lightly: "There is such a labor housekeeper." ”……

He Luwei didn't dare to delay for a moment when he went out, so he took two family members out of the house and came to Zhengyang Building, and found the shopkeeper to explain his intentions.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately clapped his palms, opened his eyebrows and smiled: "Steward He, you are finally here!" On that day, Commander Ling left here and never returned, and his sword and stuff were stored here, and he never came to pick it up.

"Because it is a thing under Commander Ling, it must be extremely valuable, so I don't dare to be careless for a moment, and I have arranged a special person to take care of it carefully in the past few days, but I am afraid that if there is any mistake, I will not be able to explain it to Commander Ling at that time!"

He Luwei smiled and thanked him; He also asked the shopkeeper if Commander Ling had any debts here, and he also settled them together.

The shopkeeper hurriedly said no. Not only no, but there is still a surplus of the silver taels given by the commander of that day.

He Luwei understood the handover with the shopkeeper, so he took Lingyun's sword, luggage, package and other items and returned to the Hou Ye's Mansion with the two family members.

As soon as he entered the mansion, he met two young men who were looking for him everywhere, "Butler, the second prince has just ordered, let you go to Yuan'an Pavilion to see him as soon as you come back." ”

Yuan'an Pavilion is the courtyard of the hall where He Chengqi lives.

He Luwei couldn't help frowning in confusion, didn't say anything, and followed the little guy to Yuan'an Pavilion.

Under the eaves of the flower hall, He Chengqi was teasing the beloved red-collared green parrot with great interest, and when he saw He Luwei coming over, he said casually: "What, Lingyun has arranged everything for you?" ”

He Lu lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes! The old slave had just returned home, and as soon as he heard the summons of the second son, he hurried over. ”

He Chengqi continued to play with the beautiful parrot, and said if he didn't care: "What is Ling Yun looking for you?" ”

He Luwei replied truthfully: "Actually, it doesn't matter, just let the old slave go to Zhengyang Tower and get back the sword package he stored there." ”

"Oh? ......" He Chengqi's cunning eyes suddenly turned, and he hooked the corners of his mouth lightly and said, "Where is the thing?" I'll take a look. ”

He Lu responded with a "yes", and hurriedly ordered the attendant beside him to respectfully hand over the packing package and other things.

He Chengqi stopped what he was doing, turned his face lazily, and glanced at the things that the attendant was holding in his hand disapprovingly.

In addition to a sword, there was also a cyan package, bulging, containing a number of things.

He Chengqi's heart suddenly moved. He took the package, placed it on the flower stand next to it, and raised his hand to open it to see what was inside.

He Luwei hurriedly stopped: "Second son, this ...... I'm afraid that's not right! It's all Commander Ling's personal belongings, if there's anything inconvenient inside......"

He Chengqi shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, chuckled and said, "Why did the housekeeper say this?" Everyone says that Ling Yun is an open-minded and upright person, could it be that he still has something unsightly in this package? ”

He Lu was speechless for a while.

He Chengqi started to untie the package again, He Luwei was still waiting to be stopped, and He Chengqi was a little annoyed.

He glanced at He Luwei, snorted coldly, and said, "I saved this Lingyun's life, I just wanted to see what was in his package, and you obstructed it in every possible way-butler, what do you mean?" Could it be that in your mind, I, the second son of the dignified Hou Yefu, is not as good as Lingyun as an outsider? ”

He Luwei's face changed, and he said with sincere fear: "Why did the second son say this, it was to borrow ten guts from the old slave, and the old slave did not dare to have the slightest contempt for the second son!" The old slave just felt that it would be difficult to explain to Commander Ling in this way......"

He Chengqi was impatient to listen to him rambling any longer, so he opened the package without saying anything.

I saw that there were only a few ordinary clothes, a few pieces of loose silver taels, a few large silver tickets, and a few trivial items for daily use.

He Chengqi couldn't help but be a little disappointed. Secretly said: The former commander of the guards of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, the dignified Ma Ye of the current dynasty, is there only these things? This is too shabby!

He was flipping through the room, and an object slipped to the ground unintentionally, only to hear the "boom", the sound was extremely crisp and pleasant, like knocking on ice and jade, making a golden jade sound.

He Chengqi's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly leaned down and picked up the object.

As soon as I started this thing, I felt extremely down. He carefully held it in his palm and looked at it over and over again.

But I saw that this thing is white gold texture, dazzling, extremely luxurious and connotative.

It turned out to be a talisman engraved with the eight characters of birth and platinum texture. The obverse of the amulet is a seated statue of Guanyin; On the back is the four seal characters of "longevity and wealth", and the small characters around the week: August 22, the eighth year of the Qingli calendar.

He Chengqi couldn't help but be dumbfounded. Isn't this the talisman that the eldest brother He Chenglin wore when he was a child?

This amulet disappeared with the eldest brother twenty-five years ago.

Afterwards, his eldest mother, Princess Changqing, missed her son too much, so she went to Xiangguo Temple to ask the abbot to remake an identical amulet; And put it in the Buddhist hall of the Hou Ye's mansion to pray, in order to pray for her ill-fated son, day and night thinking about the day when her son will return to his side......

So although he has not seen the "original" version of the amulet - because he was not born when the eldest brother He Chenglin disappeared; However, according to the "new version", he also knew the shape and characteristics of this amulet very clearly.

Now that the "original" of this mysterious amulet, which had been missing for more than twenty years, had finally been "revealed", and it had appeared in Ling Yun's package—how could this not surprise him?

At this time, he only felt that his ears were buzzing, and his mind was in chaos, and for a while it seemed that he couldn't hear anything.

In a trance, he couldn't help but think of a scene a few days ago.

At that time, Ling Yun was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and Princess Changqing hurriedly sent someone to invite a doctor to treat his injuries, and asked He Chengqi to be responsible for arranging all the daily affairs of Ling Yun.

While the Imperial Physician was treating Ling Yun's wounds and bandaging and applying medicine, he was watching from the sidelines, and at this time, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of the dark red unicorn birthmark on Ling Yun's exposed left arm.

At that time, when he saw the unicorn birthmark, he was already a little stunned; Now he found this talisman in Ling Yun's underwear again......

What does the confluence of circumstances indicate? Could it be that Ling Yun is the real eldest son of the Hou Ye Mansion, that is, his eldest brother He Chenglin? ……

At that moment, he felt like he had been thrown into a sea of boundless cold, and the blood all over his body was about to congage.

His face was pale, his eyes were stunned, and he only muttered, "No, no!" ”……

There are two flowers, one on each branch. Let's go back to Lingyun.

After more than ten days of careful treatment and quiet recuperation, Ling Yun's injuries were almost healed, and he could get out of bed and move.

On this day, Ling Yun went out bored, wandering aimlessly among the pavilions and pavilions of the Hou Ye's Mansion, and unconsciously came to the back garden.

It is mid-autumn, the red leaves in the garden are flying, the yellow flowers are all over the ground, the green water is all over the place, the grass and trees are bleak, and the depression is deserted.

Ling Yun was melancholy and sad, and couldn't help but think of a small poem by Tang Ren Jia Dao:

The willow leaves at the north gate are not already colorful.

The crane is near the water, and the monk suddenly turns his back to the clouds.

The white whiskers come out together, and the tears are divided into two lines.

Silently empty day and night, who likes to hear bitterly?

- [Autumn Twilight]

He chanted softly, in a low tone, with an indescribable depression and bitterness in his heart.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps behind him. When I turned around, I saw He Yuting stepping on the fallen leaves all over the ground, and walked slowly with a lonely face.

Ling Yun's heart twitched unconsciously. He turned his face and looked blankly into the distance, still sitting on the railing, his body not moving.

He Yuting coughed lightly, taking this opportunity to break the embarrassing stalemate in front of him, and then chuckled and said, "I originally thought that you Ling led the martial arts world, but you were just skilled in swordsmanship; I didn't expect you to be so proficient in poetry, this palace is really admired! It's a pity that there is a fly in the ointment, and the style of the poems is depressed and decadent. ”

Ling Yun raised his clear and detached eyes slightly, glanced at the person opposite disapprovingly, and said in a cold voice: "Yes, Ling Yun is inactive and frustrated, where can he compare to Master He, now he is proud of the spring breeze, and he is soaring!" So saying, he stood up and walked forward.

He Yuting's face was imperceptible, he paused slightly, and suddenly shouted behind him: "Zhichao......"
