Before leaving, the young man holding the sword finally said the first words of the day.

"Go back and ask Childe for guilt."

Tangerine clenched his hands and didn't say anything at the end.

She knew that the cicada was angry. It's just that now there are many things that give her more headaches than the anger of the cicada.

*

A day ago.

Mo Huai, who had been 'traveling' around, came to Jiangnan on a cruise ship, waved off the little tail behind him, and knocked on the door of a small courtyard in Jiangnan.

"Bang-"

"Bang ————"

When there was a third knock on the door, the wooden door opened from the inside.

Mo Huai lowered his head and called softly: "Childe, those places have all been arranged according to Childe's orders, but there has always been a force secretly following, but it has never stopped anything. The people below have already gone to check, but they haven't found out which party it is for the time being. ”

Xie Yuwan was indifferent, and the snow-white brocade robe was lined with no blood.

"Come in first." After listening to Mo Huai's words, he said calmly. With that, he turned around and walked into the house.

Mo Huai lowered his head and replied, 'Yes', he glanced around, most of the secret guards on Shangyang's side have been called to Jiangnan's side in the past few days, and he has also been called back from other places by Gongzi, Jiangnan's side is afraid that there is something big.

Xie Yuwan sat in the courtyard, and Mo Huai began to seriously report on the things he had investigated these days.

"There has been some commotion on the frontier side recently, but it has been difficult for a year and a half, and during this time, there have been people wandering between the two forces in an attempt to cause contradictions between the two forces. The relationship between the people in the frontier is quite friendly, not as good as the arrows and crossbows on the side of the army. ”

"The place where the filth was hidden was in the Secret Guard Camp. Those who knew what happened back then were secretly sent to the secret guard camp by him. After entering the secret guard camp, ordinary people lost their names, and most of them also lost their lives. What the people below presented was only a dry bone, and the clues on Shangyang's side were half broken. ”

......

Mo Huai said quietly, Xie Wanwan lowered his eyes and listened, and when a gust of wind blew, he suddenly covered his sleeves and coughed.

Mo Huai frowned and stopped the following words. Today, he saw that Childe's face was extremely pale, and he thought that he had just not seen Childe for too long, but now it seems that Childe has a physical problem.

Mo Huai took a step forward: "Son, if you don't have a good rest these days, just leave the affairs of your subordinates to your subordinates and the cicada." The cicada is not small, and there are some things that he should learn how to deal with. ”

Xie Yuwan shook his head, his voice was as calm as ever: "Go on, today may be your last leisure." ”

Mo Huai was stunned for a moment, and then opened his mouth with difficulty.

For Childe, such a moment is indeed leisure. He said no more, and finished the rest of the news.

Xie Yuwan listened faintly until the sky darkened slightly. In the darkness, there was a firelight in the distance, which lit up slightly.

Han Cicada appeared by the door at the right time and hugged the dagger: "Childe, it's time." ”

Xie Yuwan got up and suddenly saw the water tank on the side. The snow-white robe made his face pale as jade, and his eyebrows and eyes were indifferent. He raised his hand and looked at his clothes.

Snow-like color.

Mo Huai looked out the door, and a carriage had stopped quietly in the alley. He saw that Gongzi was stunned for a moment, still wearing a snow-white robe, and walked out.

In the midst of the raging fire, Jiangnan is exceptionally quiet.

In the silence, the carriage running on the path was ————cheerful, and Xie Wanwan in the carriage calmly turned a page of the book.

On the page of the book is a line of large letters: "When you come, you will return." ”

Xie Yuwan didn't hear it, and when he raised his eyes again, the line on the page had disappeared. And his expression was very flat from beginning to end. Only the snow-white robe was wrinkled a little by little with the wind that carried the smoke of gunpowder at night.

The carriage did not stop in front of the hundred-year-old mansion of the Yu family in Jiangnan, but stopped in a secluded courtyard.

It is a few miles away from Yujia's house, in a remote area, surrounded by only a few farmhouses. Even though he had made all preparations in advance, Mo Huai still looked around carefully.

Xie Yuwan stood beside the carriage and looked faintly at the night like the deep sea in the distance.

The snow-white robe was inevitably stained on the road in the countryside, but Xie Yuwan looked indifferent and didn't care. The groom stayed where he was, and he walked with Mo Huai towards the secluded courtyard.

It was obviously late at night, but the horizon in the distance was all red, like the sunset dipped in the firelight and finally wrote a bloody hiss in the middle of the night.

Mo Huai stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Bang-"

"Bang-"

"Bang ————"

After a long time, the sound of a mechanical door opening was heard inside.

Yu Chen opened the wooden bolt with a trembling hand, and then looked at the white-robed son in front of him.

He was a little surprised, but he didn't seem to be too surprised, swallowed a dull breath, and the young man, who had just suffered a catastrophe, tried to hang up a smile that was not too ugly and embarrassed: "Thank you...... Son. ”

He seemed to want to call 'Brother Xie', but in the next moment, he made a respectful salute.

The young man wanted to straighten his spine, but at this moment he quietly bent down and became depressed. He seemed to have grown overnight, obviously it was spring, but the whole day was like a bleak autumn leaf.

He leaned over the ground, the mud mixed with the spring dew, wetting the boy's already dirty clothes.

He kowtowed cautiously and respectfully, and his voice was hoarse: "Yu Chen is full of Yu's family, thank you for saving your life." He suddenly lost his voice, and after a long time, he insisted on saying, "If there is no son, today ...... My house is full of dry bones in the fire. ”

The young man had just experienced the pain of losing his father and the hatred of destroying the door, and his eyes were red and he couldn't shed tears, but he still stubbornly finished the ceremony: "If the son has anything to use in the future, Yu Chen will definitely try his best to use it for the son." ”

Xie Yuwan looked at him lightly, and waited until he finished speaking, his voice was calm.

"I didn't save you because of you, so you don't need to repay me anything."

It's because of my aunt.

The young man kneeling on the ground looked stunned, his fingertips trembled, and a peach blossom suddenly fell from his sleeve. On the way to flee from the encirclement of Yu's house, this peach blossom was well hidden in the sleeve of his coat, but it suddenly fell into the dirt.

Yu Chen suddenly broke down and cried, and his calmness that had been maintained for half a day collapsed at this moment.

Obviously, two months will be the day he and his wife get married, but overnight, everything has changed...... Even at this time, when he mentions love again, it is like a sin.

Xie Yuwan looked at it calmly, his eyes stayed on the peach blossom for a moment, and his expression was indifferent: "I don't need you to repay me anything, but I want you to respond to my three requests." ”

Yu Chen slowly put away his panicked expression, clenched his fists and looked at Xie Yuwan in front of him.

"One, from now on, your name is Chen Yu, the word Tanzhi, there is no Jiangnan Yu Chen in the world."

Xie Yuwan looked at the young man lightly, and only slowly opened his lips when he responded.

"Second, I will give you the qualification for this year's imperial examination, but only that. I don't know your knowledge, I don't know your talent, and I don't care what means you use in the future, and how far you can go in the officialdom. It's just that I want you to remember one thing, don't be blind. ”

Yu Chen's eyes trembled, and he should give a dignified 'yes'.

When it came to the third point, Xie Yuwan hesitated a little, and the wind blew his snow-white robe, adding a bit of indescribable gloom to the night. He looked at the darkened young man in front of him, and his voice was softened for the first time.

"Three, I want you to swallow everything we talked about today, and not to reveal anything to 'others'. In the future, even if you and I meet, we will only be strangers. ”

Yu Chen's body stiffened again, and when his head touched the ground, his eyes were full of tears.

"Chen Yu is here, thank you for your kindness in this life."

Xie Yuwan still just shook his head lightly: "I didn't save you because of you, and you don't need to repay me for this in the future." This small courtyard is located in the middle of nowhere, and those people can't be found before you enter the office. ”

The tears in Yu Chen's eyes shook and flickered, and finally turned into painful whimpering, as if he had struggled for a long time, Yu Chen finally asked Xie Yuwan that sentence: "Master Xie, my father was wronged, right...... He was ...... for us."

The young man cried silently, but Xie Yuwan's eyes were very light, and the words he said were as ruthless as ever.

"That's something you'll find out later."

Yu Chen understood that the person in front of him had done his best, so he stopped replying at this moment, and he just made another big gift. For a moment, the young man's forehead was dripping with blood.

When he turned around, Xie Yuwan finally said the first and last sentence of the day to the young man who was kneeling on the ground and crying bitterly.

"Tanzhi, cherish."

After speaking, the snow-white figure left the remote courtyard that he would never set foot in again. The moment he stepped out of the small courtyard, a fishy aura surged from his chest, so turbulent that Xie Wanwan directly knelt down.

"Poof—"

A pool of blood lay lightly on the dirt before he vomited blood, but Xie Yuwan's face was very flat, and he didn't even look at the blood on the ground. The moonlight reflected the snow-white robe, and the sleeves of the young man were stained with blood.

Mo Huai frowned and stepped forward: "Childe, what's the matter?" You've vomited blood twice in half a year, and this time it's a lot worse than before. When I returned to Chang'an this time, I must go to find a doctor. ”

Xie Yuwan didn't make a meaningless rebuttal, just looked in the southeast direction, looking at the sky-high fire on that side.

Everything in the world has its own trajectory.

It's just that...... It seems that it will never be understood.

*

In the city of Chang'an.

On the high seat, the man who was drinking looked in the direction of Jiangnan and shook his wine glass slightly.

The eunuch below had a shrill voice: "Everything over there has been dealt with, and the people sent to deal with it have all been strangled." The amount of money was used to fill most of the family's property, and those people would not pursue it anymore. ”

A glass of wine was sent to the eunuch, and the man smiled softly: "It's been hard work these days. ”

The eunuch happily picked up the wine from the cup and drank it without any defense. It wasn't until a moment later that he foamed at the mouth and looked at the high seat in disbelief.

Until the eunuch fell, the people on the high seats were still drinking casually.

The stage below sings leisurely 'Cunning Rabbit Dies~Lackey Cooking~'

Waiting until the corpse below was completely stiff, he glanced down in disgust: "Eunuch, throw it out." ”

The people below should be buried in their heads, but the hands that lifted the corpse were trembling.

*

It's March in Gangnam.

Jiang Wu found a little-known path, which was the road that Yu Chen took her to know when she took her to visit Jiangnan in the past. The hustle and bustle on Shicai Street dissipated little by little, the spring wind lifted her clothes and broken hair, she didn't care about the sweat beads on her face, and ran all the way in the direction of Yufu.

Until, under the bright spring sun, she saw the 'splendid' ruins.

She froze where she was, and before she even got closer, she could see the noisy crowd in the ruins.

There are villagers more than ten miles away, there are nearby vendors, there are children playing, and there are women who still bend around to pick up their children with their children.

...... For a while, Jiang Wu didn't even understand what was going on, but she was pushed by the person who looked like a peasant woman next to her: "Girl, you are also here to pick up some things and go back, it's a little late, I've been back and forth two or three times." You don't know that the first time I came to look for it, I found a lot of silver. ”

Jiang Wu looked at everything in front of her with panic, full of anxiety.

She didn't care about etiquette, and grabbed the sleeve of the woman beside her: "May I ask Yu Fu, what's wrong, how did you become like this...... What about the people in the house? ”
