The night was silent and the moonlight was cloudy.

In the front hall of the Vice General's Mansion, the two maids had already lit the candles, and Taihao continued to listen to Mao Ru's story.

"You have always said that you are friends with my grandpa...... Mao Ru paused, and then asked: "Do you know my grandpa's situation, how is he doing now?" ”

Tai Hao shook his head gently, he knew that Mao Ru must have something to hide from him in his heart. Maybe she already knew that her father was in prison, but she just didn't want to say it.

Tai Hao said: "General Wanhua is really happy to have such a caring daughter as you, but I think he should also be thinking about you two brothers and sisters now." ”

Hearing this, Mao Ru had another smile on her face. Mao Ru said: "The road is far away, I want to leave overnight!" ”

Tai Hao saw that she was in such a hurry, and knew that there must be something hidden in it, but he couldn't ask directly. He persuaded her and said: "Miss Maoru, it is dark now, and it will increase a lot of danger if you set off now, and it is not too late to set off tomorrow morning." Although Pinghe City has just eliminated the plague, no one knows if the plague has really been completely eliminated, and perhaps the plague will resurgence overnight. ”

Mao Ru was stunned for a moment and asked, "Is there really such a thing?" Taihao nodded and said, "Maybe there will be, maybe there won't be, no one knows about this now." ”

Hearing this, Mao Ru nodded, and decided to set off early tomorrow morning.

Tai Hao looked Mao Ru up and down, and continued to say to her: "Miss Mao Ru, I am a little uneasy that you are a weak woman walking so far alone. You choose an entourage in the house, and I will go with you tomorrow, the road is far away, and there will be a response. ”

Seeing that he cared so much about himself, Mao Ru was a little moved in his heart, so he nodded and agreed. Tai Hao asked, "Then who does Miss Maoru want to go with you?" ”

Mao Ru thought for a moment and replied, "This...... I don't know who wants to go with me, or if Lord Taihao can help me find one at random. ”

Tai Hao said: "There are a lot of things in the house now, and those who go with you must be skilled in martial arts, because they want to protect your safety." How about letting Senior Sister Nianyu go with you? Speaking of this, he glanced at Mao Ru again.

Mao Ru said: "Miss Nianyu is indeed very good, but this trip is far away, Nianyu is a girl after all, and she will suffer a lot." ”

Taihao really owed some consideration just now, and when Mao Ru said this, he was really a little distressed. Mao Ru is likely to be a spy sent by Yao Fuji, so it is better for her to leave the Deputy General's Mansion. But the mountains are high and the road is far away, so it is somewhat inappropriate to let Senior Sister Nianyu go with you. Tai Hao said: "That's right, but who is the best person to go with you?" ”

Mao Ru said: "Today I passed by the West Wing, and saw a man eating inside, looking at his body, he must be strong in force, can you let him go with me?" ”

Tai Hao didn't know who she was talking about, and continued to ask, "I don't know which man Miss Maoru is talking about?" ”

Mao Ru said: "That man is wearing a black robe, he doesn't look very old, he should be about the same size as us. It would be great if he would follow me......"

Tai Hao knew that he was talking about Senior Brother Dumb Shan, so he said: "That's my Senior Brother Dumb Shan, Senior Brother Dumb Shan just came back from Niangniang Beach, and he will rush to Fengling City with you before he has a good rest, I don't know if he is willing to go with you." ”

Mao Ru said: "If that's the case, then I'll set off alone tomorrow!" Don't bother Lord Taihao to send me an entourage to follow. ”

Tai Hao said: "I have to ask for the opinion of Senior Brother Dumb Shan on this matter, and see if he is willing." But, Miss Maoru, my dumb brother has been deaf and dumb since he was a child, and only Senior Sister Nianyu can communicate with him in mute language in the house. ”

After hearing this, Mao Ru was silent for a moment before saying, "It's better not to speak, and you can concentrate on hurrying." ”

Tai Hao nodded, and smiled at Mao Ru: "Since this is the case, I will first ask the family to see if Senior Brother Dumb Shan has fallen asleep, and if he hasn't slept yet, I will invite him over and ask him in person." ”

When Mao Ru heard this, she hurriedly agreed and stepped aside, Taihao called in a family member, gave a few instructions, and asked the family member to ask for dumb kindness. He also called a family member and asked him to invite Nian Yu, because except for Nian Yu, no one could be dumb. After a while, a housekeeper walked in and reported to Taihao, "My lord, Mr. Dumb Shan has invited me here." Saying that, Dumb Shan walked in, he first bowed to Tai Hao, and then did the same to Mao Ru. At this time, another family member also walked in and reported to Taihao: "My lord, Miss Nianyu is not in the room. ”

When Tai Hao heard that Nian Yu was not in his room, he immediately guessed that he might have gone to Shaoling's room. Then he said to the famous housekeeper, "Go to Shaoling's room and see if she is there?" The housekeeper answered and went out.

Besides, after Shaoling, Xuanyu, and Daxi discussed the matter with Taihao just now, they each returned to their rooms. Shaoling suddenly remembered that Nianyu had something to say to him just now, but before he could say it, he was called by Taihao. Shao Ling arrived outside the door of Nianyu's room, and saw that the lights were still on in Nianyu's room, so he knocked on the door and asked, "Miss Nianyu, have you slept?" ”

Nian Yu heard Shaoling's voice in the room, and replied, "Not yet." ”

She opened the door, and Shao Ling hurriedly asked, "Miss Nianyu, what did you do to me just now?" ”

Nian Yu looked up at the starry sky and said, "Go to your room and say, it's too cold outside." ”

Shao Ling took Nian Yu to his room, and Shao Ling continued to ask, "Miss Nian Yu, what do you have to tell me?" ”

Nian Yu said: "Today I talked to Senior Brother Dumb Shan about Master, and he said that Master went to find Senior Brother Fuyi. Brother Dumb and I miss Master very much, so we're going to go to Master. I'm going to say goodbye to you today......"

After listening to Nian Yu's words, Shaoling was silent for a moment, and then said, "Okay! Then you'll be back! ”

"It's not for sure, I may come back, or I may always follow my master." Nian Yu paused, and then said: "My master is old, and I don't want him to have no relatives around to take care of him. ”

When Shaoling heard this, his heart couldn't help but move. said to Nian Yu: "I don't want you to go, because you don't know which city or mountain your master is in now, you can only blindly look for it, and you will definitely have a hard time along the way." Nian Yu sighed and nodded.

"It's okay, Brother Dumb and I will take care of each other, although the world is big, I believe that one day we will find Master. I have grown up with Master since I was a child, and I have missed him so much in the few months since he was away, and I believe that Master also misses us. After finishing speaking, Nian Yu was about to walk out of Shaoling's room.

Shao Ling hurriedly stopped Nian Yu and said to Nian Yu, "Wait a minute, Miss Nian Yu." ”

Nian Yu turned to look at Shao Ling, and said with a smile, "Do you have anything to say to me?" ”

Shaoling said: "Remember, you must protect yourself! Looking at Shaoling's serious appearance, Nian Yu showed a bright smile on his face.

Nian Yu nodded and said, "Thank you, Shaoling, you also take care." ”

Shao Ling continued: "I hope that after you find your master, you will come back, and then you can bring your master with you." ”

Nian Yu said: "As long as my master is willing to come here, Senior Brother Dumb and I will definitely bring him here." ”

Shao Ling looked at her and continued, "Since you're leaving, I'll give you another gift." ”

"What gift?" Nian Yu asked curiously.

Shaoling pulled Nian Yu to the desk, picked up the brush, and said, "I'll give you another poem, whenever you think of me, read that poem." ”

As he spoke, Shaoling wrote on a piece of rice paper on the table:

Shaoling strings are broken without glue,

Lingxi Daoist meets at the place.

This year, the butterfly must be sent to stay late,

Career is down, but drinking.

I'm afraid that the fate of the world is here,

Climb the pine cover on the love wind rock.

Remembering this makes a man return earlier,

The rain is shining and the sun is scorching wildfires.

After Shaoling finished writing the poem, he read it to Nianyu. Nian Yu asked, "What does this mean?" ”

Shao Ling said: "Do you know every word on it?" ”

Nian Yu replied: "I know all the words, but I don't understand the meaning of this poem." ”

Shao Ling said: "When you think of me in the future, take out this poem and read it, and one day you will understand the meaning." As he spoke, he folded the rice paper and handed it to Nian Yu.

At this moment, a family member stood outside the door of Shaoling's room and shouted, "May I ask if Miss Nianyu is here?" Lord Taihao, please go to the front hall for a while. ”

Shaoling muttered to himself: "It's Taihao who interrupted the time when I was alone with Nian Yu, I really don't know what else is going on at such a late hour?" ”

Nian Yu put the rice paper in his arms, walked out of Shaoling's room door, and asked the family, "It's so late, do you know what Lord Taihao told me about?" ”

The man replied, "I don't know what is the matter, and Mr. Dumb is there." ”

Nian Yu heard that Senior Brother Dumb Shan was also there, and wondered: Could it be that Senior Brother Dumb Shan told Taihao about what we were leaving, so he also asked me to go over.

Nian Yu hurriedly said goodbye to Shao Ling and walked briskly towards the front hall. Nian Yu thought to herself: "I've already told Senior Brother Dumb Shan, don't tell him that we go to find Master, why do you have to tell him." ”

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw Tai Hao sitting at the top of the hand, and Dumb Shan and Mao Ru were sitting on both sides. Seeing Nian Yu walking in, Tai Hao got up and said, "Senior sister, you are here, you have something to discuss with Senior Brother Dumb Shan, so let you help convey it to Senior Brother Dumb Shan." ”

Nian Yu said: "What do you want to discuss with Senior Brother Dumb Shan?" ”

Tai Hao said: "Miss Mao Ru wants to go back to Fengling City to see her father, this place is far away from Fengling City, and there are difficulties and obstacles on the road, so I want Senior Brother Dumb Shan to accompany Miss Mao Ru to go together." I just want to ask if Senior Brother Dumb is willing? ”

Nian Yu said: "There are many entourages and family members in the deputy general's mansion, why did you choose to let the dumb senior brother go?" ”

Taihao said: "Because ......"

Tai Hao was just about to open his mouth to explain the reason to Nian Yu, but Mao Ru on the side interrupted him and said, "Miss Nian Yu, I want to let Brother Dumb Shan accompany me, if Brother Dumb Shan is unwilling, then I will set off alone." ”
