Section V

At noon after the snow, three young men dressed in snowy clothes walked on a muddy street behind the snow. The two people next to them strode majestically and were high-spirited. Anyone would be amazed if they could see their faces through the hat.

"Where are we going?" asked Shikawa Xiu, who was caught in the middle, in a whisper.

Di Lin snorted coldly, turned his head and looked at Zi Chuanxiu "kindly", so Zi Chuanxiu obediently remained silent. Walking through a familiar road, Zi Chuanxiu recognized it: "Big brother, should you be ...... Take me to Miss Ning, right?"

"Yes!" replied Dilling dryly.

Zi Chuanxiu's muscles twitched a little, and he forced a smile and said, "The military situation is urgent, I can't leave for too long." The composition of the Far Eastern Army is more complex, and there are various ethnic groups. If I'm not here, I'm afraid they won't be able to hold down Shirakawa...... Zi Chuanning, I'll ...... later" He turned around and wanted to sneak away, Di Lin scolded viciously: "What will happen to the earth if you go back one day later? If the Demon God Emperor is really killed or the army mutiny, then you go back and take a fart!"

"Don't!" Zi Chuanxiu let out a scream like a pig, but Dilin and Sterling couldn't help but say, and grabbed him one by one, dragging him away.

In front of it is Zi Chuanning's mansion. After the attack on the night of February 15, the family protected Zi Chuanning much more closely. A brigade of Praetorian Guards guarded the doorway, and patrols in civilian and military uniforms made their way through the streets. Looking at the strict jǐng guards, Zi Chuanxiu's courage that he had finally mustered up was completely discharged: "I think, it's better not to go in, right?"

"Nonsense!" Di Lin scolded as he touched the bruise on his face, and he could see it early in the morning. Ah Xiu has a free and easy appearance, but on the issue of Zi Chuanning, he has a relatively heavy inferiority complex. For Zichuan Ning's noble background, he is often ashamed of himself. He knew Zi Chuanxiu's psychology very well at this time: although he had made a lot of achievements in the Far East, compared to Zi Chuanning's kind of famous nobles, he was better said to be the leader of a rebel army, and he was just the leader of a group of homeless grass bandits, and his grievances had not been washed, he didn't want to see Zi Chuanning in such an identity.

"Ah Xiu, girls need to be cared for and coaxed. Back then, the three of us chased Lin Xiujia, why didn't the two of you catch up with me? It's not because I'm better than you———— of course, I'm really a little better than you————"

Sterling muttered quietly, "This guy has itchy skin, dare to mention this!"

"That's it!" Zichuan Xiu took the opportunity to provoke: "Forget about his death!"

"———— but because I can coax you better, what a sweetheart, my dear you are my life, I can't live without you...... A woman is the most emotional animal, she doesn't care whether you are from a famous family, whether you have the ability, whether you have an official position, and even if you kill people and set fires, or rob your house, she only cares about one thing: Do you love her or not! As long as you love her -- no, as long as you can coax her to believe that you are the person who loves her the most in the world, it doesn't matter if you are heinous, as for the level of status, it is even more trivial. ————Do you understand what I mean, Ah Xiu?"

Zi Chuanxiu's eyes opened wide and bright: "I don't understand!"

Di Lin scolded fiercely, "Stupid!" Although his third brother is powerful on the battlefield, in terms of feelings, he is as naïve as a primary school student. Men should move women, and don't make earth-shattering careers, sometimes a casual word or a gentle kiss can touch a woman's heart. But Zi Chuanxiu is bent on making a "great achievement" and then going to Zi Chuanning to "surprise", what he is looking forward to is the scene of the heroes of a hundred battles returning with honors, and gently embracing the beauty into his arms under the watchful eye of the people. This is really stupid! Earth-shattering deeds often take time, the war with the demon clan cannot be ended in ten or eight years, and most women do not have this resistance, and the "earth-shattering" only moves the heaven and the earth, not the women. Zichuan Xiu is really stupid, even if he can take the Far East, so what? The commander of the Far East back then was just a retainer of the Zichuan family, and the difference in identity still did not change. If you really wait for the war to end in ten or eight years before coming back, I'm afraid that Zi Chuanning has already married a wife, so she can only hold her hand and cry silently.

It seems that it is not possible to interfere in this matter yourself.

It so happened that the Praetorian Guard officer guarding the door was Stirling's old subordinate, and Sterling greeted him and explained, "The Inspector General wants to ask Miss Ning about the case. ”

Knowing that it was the two giants of the family who arrived, the Praetorian Guard officer was in awe, although he did not know who the young man who had come with Stirling and Lord Diling and wore a hat, but who dared to come up and inquire? The guards on both sides immediately made a way, and the three of them entered the manor unimpeded.

Entering the manor, the three of them were taken aback. The manor of Zichuanning in the past is full of green trees, small buildings and flowing water, and pavilions and pavilions, which are elegant and beautiful, and it is a famous scene of dìdū. But now, looking at the rì platform, there is only a ruin of the red ground and black tiles, and those dense plane trees are only left with a section of black stumps that have been destroyed by the fire, and they have not been noticed at night, but now this qiē** is exposed to the rì light, which is extremely dazzling.

Shikawa Xiu was silent. He approached the old oak tree slowly, and on the mutilated, blackened trunk of the tree, the marks of his childhood knife were faintly visible. It was on this estate that he spent his childhood. For him, Zichuanning's estate is more than just a beautiful view. This is where he grew up, and every grass, every tree, and every wall here is deeply engraved with traces of his own growth. Now, this qiē is in ruins.

Zi Chuanxiu heard Sterling mentioning to the officer in charge of the guard: "Before the scene is completely sorted out, can we let Miss Ning find another place to live and rest? Let her continue to live here, touching the scene, I am afraid that Miss Ning will not be able to accept it." If you can't find a convenient place to live for a while, I would welcome Miss Ning to stay at my house temporarily. ”

The officer replied respectfully, "Report to Your Excellency, His Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief also invited Miss Ning to live in the Governor's Mansion, but Miss Ning insisted on staying here. It would be great if the adults could persuade Miss Ning to move out of here temporarily. This makes it much easier for us to survey the site and secure the security. ”

Sterling nodded, seeing that there was no fire near Zichuan Ning's small building, he pointed and asked, "Is Miss Ning still living inside?"

"Exactly. Do you need to be notified in advance?"

Sterling shook his head: "No need, I'll go over by myself." "Li Qing is Zi Chuanning's handkerchief, he and Zi Chuanning have always been familiar with each other, and there is no formality and etiquette between them, and he intends to surprise Zi Chuanning today.

The three of them walked into the small building. Although there were many Praetorian Guard soldiers guarding the vicinity of the small building, seeing that his boss accompanied these people in, no one came to interrogate, so the group entered the small building unhindered and went up the stairs to the second floor. There, the door to the reception room was hidden.

Seeing that the small building was empty, Sterling casually asked, "Where are the servants?"

The face of the Praetorian Guard Qiben sank: "Unfortunately, they were all killed. The mood of several people suddenly sank.

"Lord Sterling, Lord Dilin, please come in and wait a while, I'll go up and inform Miss Ning. ”

"I'm sorry for you. Sterling said as he pushed open the door to the meeting room, and suddenly, as if he had been bitten by a snake, he jerked backwards with a shocked expression on his face.

"What's going on?"

"No, nothing ....... Sterling wanted to stop him, but Zichuan Xiu and Di Lin had already entered.

There was a man and a woman in the room, but at this moment, Xiu passed through the open door, and Zichuan Xiu only saw the girl he was thinking about.

I haven't seen him for more than two years, and Zi Chuanning is still so beautiful, even more beautiful than how many times he has seen it in his dreams. Two years is enough time to turn a slightly childish girl into a slim girl. At this moment, her face was filled with a sweet, warm smile, and she was so happy that she bloomed like a flower. This kind of smile is very familiar to Shikawa Xiu: only in front of herself, she will smile so happily and carefree.

Zi Chuan Xiu couldn't help but take a step forward, as if he had heard the sweet call: "Brother Ah Xiu!" The moment he saw this smile, all his worries, plans, and worries were all left behind by him. The only thing he thought about was to stride forward, open his broad arms, and take the girl he loved into his arms.

Suddenly, he froze: Zi Chuanning didn't look here, she didn't smile at herself, she kept looking up at a man next to her, smiling like a flower. The two of them looked down and whispered, not noticing that anyone was at the door. He looked down blankly: Zi Chuan Ning's white and flawless little hand was held in the man's hand.

It was like 90,000 thunderbolts hitting his head at the same time, and Zichuan Xiu lost the ability to think, and his mind was blank. It was as if there were 100,000 bees flying in the room at the same time, buzzing in their ears. The qiē in front of him was so illusoryly real, he could clearly see the mouth of the person in front of him moving one by one, and strangely, he didn't make any sound. He tried hard to see clearly, but as soon as a qiē seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, hazy, a poem suddenly appeared in his head, and it sounded repeatedly: "The emperor wants to dominate the industry, and it is empty in the blink ......of an eye."

Finding that someone was at the door, Zi Chuanning exclaimed, broke free from the man's hand and jumped up. The man also turned his head and shouted, "Who's out there?"

Sterling walked in calmly, Zi Chuanning's face suddenly flushed, and then he greeted him and said with a smile: "Brother Stirling, I haven't seen you here for a long time, have you been busy lately?"

Sterling nodded slowly: "Li Qing is fine......" followed him, and Di Lin also entered the room.

Zi Chuanning was surprised: "Ah, the Inspector General, you are here too......"

"Excuse me, miss. Regarding the attack that night, this official was entrusted by the chief to ask you a few questions of Miss Ning. Di Lin answered Zi Chuanning's question, but his eyes were staring at the man next to Zi Chuanning, who was tall and upright--not only him, but three pairs of knife-like eyes were staring at that man, and the murderous aura contained in his eyes was so sharp that he could almost kill!

There was silence, and the men and women in the room and the three people in the door looked at each other.

Following the gaze of the two, Zi Chuanning smiled awkwardly: "Let me introduce you, this is the son of Ma Wei...... Mavi, come here. This is Lord Stirling, and this is Lord Inspector General. ”

The muscles on Sterling's face twitched slightly, and he and Dilling glanced at each other, both seeing the despair in each other's eyes. He originally still had the last glimmer of hope, hoping that Zi Chuanning could explain, hoping that everything was due to a misunderstanding. But now, Zi Chuanning's familiar and informal affectionate tone, the unconcealed style in his eyebrows, and the sweet smile on his face have already explained ———— qiē: this is not a misunderstanding.

The man approached and stretched out his hand: "Is it Lord Stirling and Lord Dilin? I am Ma Wei, I have admired the names of the two for a long time, and I will see you today, and I am really beautiful, worthy of my family's famous generals!"

Sterling could see clearly that this person was good-looking, with a low and hoarse voice, with a kind of magnetic xìng that was very attractive to women, tall and straight, brightly dressed, elegant in conversation and demeanor, and he knew at a glance that he was from a noble background. Both Dilin and Sterling felt that this guy was a bit like Zichuan Xiu.

Facing Ma Wei's outstretched hand, Sterling ignored him, and just looked at Zi Chuanning fixedly, his eyes revealing a wealth of feelings: surprise, pain, regret, anger, condemnation......

No one spoke, and an awkward silence hung over the room.

"What's going on?" asked Zi Chuan Ning in surprise.

No one answered. The silence was awkward, and perhaps a pin could be heard on the ground.

Ma Wei looked at this: Sterling's face sank like a cloud about to rain, and look at that, Dilin sneered, his thin lips twisted into a line. If Di Lin's subordinates, even the most battle-hardened veterans, would be terrified at the sight of Di Lin's expression: on the night of Dìdū's bloodshed, Di Lin's expression was exactly the same as it is now.

Zi Chuanning thought of something, his face turned red all of a sudden, he lowered his head, his eyes stared straight at the ground, and he didn't dare to look at people.

He stretched out his hand over, but the other party didn't even look at him, and Ma Wei was a little embarrassed in the face of such humiliation. It's just that he is afraid of the high power of the two people in front of him, especially Di Lin, who is known for his ruthlessness, so that he can't attack, and a cold breath secretly surged from in front of him. He couldn't tell the source of this hostility: was it the stern Sterling, the sneering Dilin, or the mysterious man behind the two of them who didn't say a word? Although he didn't know the relationship between Zi Chuanning and the few people in front of him, the playboy's instinct told him that this place was not suitable for a long time.

He shrugged, "Do you have something to talk about?"

Still no one was silent, and the air in the room seemed to be frozen. After a long time, Zi Chuanning whispered, "Well, Ma Wei, you go first." We're going to talk about something. ”

Mavi whistled and paced to the door, and Sterling made way for him. He went out and turned to Zi Chuanning with a flying kiss: "Bye, I'll come back to you tomorrow!"

Zi Chuanning's face was red, and his head couldn't be raised.

Ma Wei smiled, turned around, and Di Lin's deep voice came from behind him: "Please stay." ”

Ma Wei turned around and smiled, "What advice does the Inspector have for you?"

"Let me see you here again, I'll kill you. Di Lin said lightly.

Ma Wei looked at Di Lin in surprise and thoughtfully: "Interesting." ”

He smiled: "I am the patriarch of the family elders, and the ———— of killing the patriarch of the family" He slowed his voice: "But it is a serious crime, the elder of the superintendent." ”

Even though he hated him, Shikawa Xiu still had to admire the guy in front of him. In the face of the murderous Di Lin, he can still maintain such composure, no wonder Zi Chuanning has a good impression of him, this person really has his own courage, and the playboy is not just anyone who can be a playboy.

Di Lin snorted coldly, Ma Wei laughed, and walked away. Looking at his back, the pupils in Di Lin's eyes shrank like needles. In the eyes of Sterling and Zichuan Xiu, who were familiar with him, they knew that he had made a move at this moment.
