On the first day of April, early in the morning.

Liu Xunyi was on crutches, taking a leisurely walk in the back garden of King Xian's mansion, his face looked worried, but there was a hint of relief in his eyes.

On that day, he and Lin Fangda drank "drunk" in Tianxianglou. In "Drowsy", the two were forcibly taken back to King Xian's Mansion by Di Mo, and later someone poured a bucket of cold water on their heads, only to "wake up suddenly".

After waking up, they all looked like they were at a loss. Mentioning the killing of Cha Gan and his party, Lin Fangda's face was full of astonishment, and then he swore an oath, saying that he was innocent, and Liu Xunyi followed him to get through the confusion.

In the end, Luo Tianjin chose to believe them.

In fact, Liu Xunyi deliberately arranged this "wine game", and his real intention was to deal with Luo Tianjin's "investigation".

Lin Fangda grew up in the Xianwang Mansion since he was a child, and won Luo Tianjin's trust, especially his character, he is brave and scheming, and everyone in the mansion knows it. Therefore, it is undoubtedly best for him to testify for Liu Xunyi.

Although they escaped, they were still angrily reprimanded by Luo Tianjin.

In Liu Xunyi's consciousness, Luo Tianjin has always been gentle and elegant, and his joy and anger are invisible. But this time, Luo Tianjin was extremely angry, not only sprayed the blood of the dog that he and Lin Fang scolded, but also treated the two of them for the crime of "dereliction of duty", and beat Lin Fang with a heavy rod of eighty, and beat him to the flesh. At the same time, he remembered that Liu Xunyi's injuries had not healed, so he only scolded him with a cane for 30 years and ordered him to wear a crime and make meritorious contributions in the future.

Liu Xunyi knew in his heart that the reason why Luo Tianjin was mad was not aimed at him and Lin Fangda, but because the death of the Mongols would cause endless troubles for the Xianwang Mansion. This incident made Luo Tianjin embarrassed and angry, and when he was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, Liu Xunyi and Lin Fangda happened to appear, which became Luo Tianjin's punching bag, and it was quite "unlucky" to think about it.

After that, Xie Xuan ordered that Liu Xunyi and Lin Fangda were not allowed to take half a step out of the Xianwang Mansion without the permission of the mansion master, and ordered the two of them to think about it behind closed doors in order to set an example.

Because of this, Liu Xunyi has been depressed and depressed in the past few days. First, he was really worried that he would lose Luo Tianjin's trust because of this. In the second, he has to deliberately "wronged" others to show so as not to expose flaws.

Today, the wind is beautiful and the weather is clear. But Liu Xunyi was bored, ignoring the flowers and grass in front of him, and he was not interested.

"The poet Qingjing is in the New Year, and the green willows are only yellow and half uneven. If you stay in the forest like flowers, you will go out to see the flowers. ”

Suddenly, Luo Tianjin's voice sounded behind Liu Xunyi, which made his spirit suddenly shake, quickly turned around, and said, "I've seen the mansion master!"

At the same time, Luo Tianjin, accompanied by Ling Xiaoxiao, Luo Hongxuan, and Luo Ningyu, looked pleasant, proud, and comfortable.

"Xunyi, how are your injuries?" Luo Tianjin smiled lightly and waved his hand, signaling that he didn't need to be polite.

"It's no big deal, I believe I'll be able to walk freely soon, thank you for your concern. Liu Xunyi hurriedly lifted his right foot and replied with a smile.

"I'm not talking about a foot injury, I'm talking about a back injury. Luo Tianjin shook his head with a smile. He was referring to the thirty-fold rod that had been given a few days ago.

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xunyi suddenly felt a warm heart, and hurriedly replied: "It's just a little skin injury, and the master of the Lao Mansion is worried." ”

Luo Tianjin nodded plausibly, and suddenly changed his words, and asked meaningfully: "Xunyi, do you know what kind of poem I just chanted?"

"What the lord of the mansion chanted is the poet Yang Juyuan's "Early Spring in the East of the City" by the poet of the previous dynasty. Faced with Luo Tianjin's inexplicable question, Liu Xunyi was stunned at first, and then replied respectfully.

Luo Tianjin's eyes couldn't help but show a hint of appreciation, and he nodded: "I only know that you are strong in martial arts, but I don't know that your literary talent is also extraordinary." A rare all-rounder. Good, very good!"

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi smiled and said humbly: "I have studied for two years in Xia Ziwei, and I only got an axe and acted indiscriminately, which made the mansion owner and his wife laugh." ”

Luo Tianjin shook his head disapprovingly, and said with a smile: "There was a Yang Juyuan in the previous dynasty, a civil official, who was fond of poetry and wine articles all day long. In this dynasty, there was also a Yang Juyuan, a famous general who fought against the gold, galloped on the battlefield, killed the enemy and made meritorious contributions! Although he has the same name and surname, this 'Yang' is not the other 'Yang', and his identity is different, and his responsibilities are also different. Looking for clothes, you are both civil and military, but you don't know if you are this 'Yang' or the other 'Yang'?"

Luo Tianjin seems to be light-hearted, but in fact, there are words in his words, implying mystery. Liu Xunyi pretended to be at a loss for unknown reasons. In fact, he was already frightened and uneasy.

Liu Xunyi hurriedly glanced at Ling Xiaoxiao and the others, and hurriedly said goodbye: "Xunyi doesn't know the family of the mansion owner, I will come here today to enjoy the flowers, if you disturb, I hope to forgive your sins." I...... I'll leave ...... now."

"No need!" Luo Tianjin smiled and waved his hand, staring at Liu Xunyi with straight eyes, and said faintly, "You are also your own family!"

"Ahem......"

As soon as Luo Tianjin's words came out, Luo Ningyu's face changed suddenly. Ling Xiaoxiao coughed lightly twice with displeasure on her face, as if to remind Luo Tianjin that she was "disrespectful to the old".

"That...... Lord Liumen, do you know why my father is so happy today?" Seeing this, Luo Hongxuan hurriedly came forward and asked with a smile, "You might as well guess, what's good today?"

Hearing this, Luo Tianjin also nodded at Liu Xunyi with great interest, as if encouraging him to speculate boldly.

"This ......" Liu Xunyi looked up and down at the refreshed Luo Tianjin. Compared with the worries of the previous days, today's Luo Tianjin is like a different person.

After thinking for a moment, Liu Xunyi muttered hesitantly: "I dare to speculate, can it be because of ...... The Mongols are settled?"

"Clever!" Luo Tianjin said approvingly, "Early this morning, someone sent me a letter, which was a handwritten letter from Yan Wuji, the lord of the Chifeng Ridge. He has come to believe that we have nothing to do with the Lingqiu mountain stream, and is willing to continue to reconcile with us. The Great Khan of Mongolia will never take his anger on us about Lingqiu. ”

Hearing this, Liu Xunyi was happy and sad in his heart, and the taste was complicated.

Happily, the Xianwang Mansion finally escaped the catastrophe and did not suffer the catastrophe because of his own willfulness. Sadly, Chifengling is willing to rebuild with King Xian's Mansion, which means that the Mongolian court still has not given up the idea of recruiting An Luo Tianjin.

"Liu Xunyi, what do you think?" Ling Xiaoxiao's indifferent gaze looked at Liu Xunyi directly, and suddenly asked.

"This ......," Liu Xunyi hesitated, "I just don't know...... Does Yan Wou-Ki really believe us? or pretend to believe ......?"

"Whether he is true or not, in short, he can write the book himself, which is enough to show that the Mongols do not want to completely turn against us now. Luo Tianjin chuckled, "That's enough! No one knows what the future situation will be, so it is already a great luck in misfortune to be able to temporarily keep the current peace! What's more, this matter is indeed not done by us, and we are not afraid of shadows, do not do bad things, and are not afraid of ghosts calling the door." I believe that Yan Wuji will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly to the end, and the bloody case in Lingqiu Mountain Stream will come out sooner or later. At that time, we can also be cleared. Looking for clothes, don't you say?"

Liu Xunyi was depressed in his heart, pretending to be happy on the surface, and nodded again and again: "What the lord of the mansion said is extremely true, it is best to be peaceful." ”

Luo Hongxuan frowned, and said worriedly: "Although the Mongols are no longer in trouble with us for the time being, we still have another big trouble right now, the Hexi Qin clan. After the Shaolin competition, the Qin family has always refused to give up, and even reversed black and white, stirring up nonsense. At the beginning, it was clearly agreed that Liu Xunyi and Qin Tianjiu would win or lose in a battle, but in the end, they went back on their word and refused to admit it. Because of Shaolin's loss of the 'Xuanshui Scroll', Qin Ming even let out his words, vowing to seek justice from Shaolin, otherwise he would never give up. ”

"Poor Shaolin Temple, I wanted to be an outsider, but I unexpectedly set himself on fire and suffered an unwarranted disaster in vain. Luo Ningyu said with emotion, "Dad, although Qin Ming is seeking justice from Shaolin on the surface, he is actually targeting the Pan family and us. I heard that a few days ago, the Pan Mansion encountered trouble again and again, which not only made the Pan family panic, but even made Pan Baye angry. ”

Hongxuan added: "Those who provoke are obviously the Qin family's eagle dogs. They tried to search for the 'Xuanshui Scroll' from Pan's Mansion, but they returned empty-handed again and again. But it's strange that these people are making trouble, but they haven't killed anyone. I don't know why......"

"The Qin family doesn't want to leave people with a handle. Luo Tianjin said lightly, "You might as well think about it from the standpoint of an outsider, if you don't know the inside story, you hear that there is a ten-year battle between the Qin clan in Hexi and the Pan family in Yingchuan, who do you think has a greater chance of winning?"

"Naturally, it's the Hexi Qin clan. Luo Ningyu replied without thinking, "The Hexi Qin clan is one of the four great families of martial arts, and the masters in the mansion are like clouds, even if the six major sects want to compete with it, they will have to pay a great price, not to mention the Pan family, if I am an outsider...... It will definitely be believed that the Qin family will win the Pan family. ”

"That's right!" Luo Tianjin nodded, "That's why Qin Ming dared to reverse black and white and go back on his word." It was precisely because he had no fear that he dared to publicize this matter. Most of the martial arts heroes don't know the inside story, so most of them think like Yu'er just now, thinking that the Qin family will be better than the Pan family. Now that we say that the Qin family lost, the world thinks that it must be Shaolin, the Pan family, and the Xian Wangfu who are teaming up to make a show and bully the Qin family. Qin Ming's move is to use the well-known "common sense" and the "sympathy" of the world to strengthen his own momentum, so that he can continue to compete for the 'Xuanshui Volume' in the future. After all, the 'Xuanshui Scroll' is related to the life and death of the children of the Qin family, and it is a century-old plan for the Qin family to pass on the bloodline and spread the branches, and it is by no means child's play. Therefore, even if Qin Ming ignores his conscience, refuses to admit it to death, and gives up his dignity and face, he will definitely not give up tracking down the whereabouts of the 'Xuanshui Scroll'. ”

Luo Hongxuan suddenly realized: "That's why the Qin family only sent people to steal the sword spectrum, but they didn't kill anyone." Qin Ming wants to maintain his hard-won status of 'justice', although some people are making trouble in the Pan Mansion, but there is no evidence, it is difficult to put the guilt on the head of the Qin family. But if someone is killed, it will inevitably lead to a lot of speculation. At present, everyone in the world knows that the Qin family and the Pan family have enmity, and if someone in the Pan family dies unexpectedly, it will be the most suspicious...... It is undoubtedly the Qin family. ”

"Qin Ming is not a fool, he is well versed in the strategy of taking advantage of the situation and avoiding disadvantages. Knowing how to make a choice is in your best interest. Luo Tianjin sighed, "Now there are far more people in the rivers and lakes who believe in the Qin family than in Shaolin. Everyone pretends not to know on the surface, but in fact, they already have their own judgments in their hearts. Shaolin Temple has always been upright and bright, and today it was framed by the Qin family, which must have been a heavy blow to Shaolin's reputation and status in the rivers and lakes. Alas!"

"Qin Ming, this person has a small belly and chicken intestines, and he will repay him. And the means are ruthless, his heart is like iron stone, and if he can't find any trace of the 'Xuanshui Scroll' in the future, God knows what else he will do. Ling Xiaoxiao said worriedly, "Brother Jin, we should be careful in everything, so as not to be exploited by Qin Ming." And on the Mongolian side, Cha Gan once said that some people in Mongolia want to win over the Qin clan in Hexi, and I am worried that Qin Ming will take the opportunity to find a backer, in case he and the Mongols are in cahoots, wouldn't it be even more tricky?"

"Probably not, at least...... Not now. Luo Tianjin smiled confidently, "If Qin Ming really dares to be a traitor, everyone in the martial arts will be punished, and who will continue to support him? After all, the Qin family is one of the four great families of martial arts, Qin Ming can not have his own face, but he still has some scruples about the face and reputation of the ancestors of the Qin family." Hehe......"

With that, Luo Tianjin suddenly reached out and gently pinched the tip of Ling Xiaoxiao's nose. Ling Xiaoxiao rarely showed a coquettish and angry look, which provoked Luo Hongxuan and Luo Ningyu beside her, and couldn't help but snicker.

On the side, Liu Xunyi silently watched Luo Tianjin's family and harmony, talking and laughing. I suddenly felt desolate and bitter in my heart, and I couldn't help but think of Liu Xunyu, who is still missing.

Liu Xunyi has been an orphan since he was a child, and in his memory, the love of his parents and the warmth of his family have long been out of reach. So whenever he sees other people's families reunited and happy, his heart is full of envy and longing, and with it, there is naturally a trace of indescribable loneliness and misery.

There is nothing better in the world than this. Facing the husband and wife in front of him, the father and the son are filial, Liu Xunyi really can't bear to break their happiness.

Liu Xunyi felt sorry for herself, sobbed slightly, turned around and quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and wanted to quietly withdraw from the garden.

However, before Liu Xunyi left, Su Tang, who had a dignified face, suddenly broke into the garden and ran towards Luo Tianjin quickly.

"Mansion master, there is a guest asking to see. ”

"Who?"

"I haven't seen it, but they claim to be the subordinates of the Young Qin King of the Western Regions, and they are ordered to come to visit the lord of the mansion. Su Tang quickly replied.

Luo Tianjin frowned slightly, and asked rhetorically, "Who is the leader?"

"It's a young woman dressed as a 'childe' who calls herself ...... Xun Qin. ”

As soon as these words came out, Liu Xunyi, who was about to leave, trembled suddenly. In an instant, his face was like white paper, his body was like a wood carving, he was frightened, and his face was cold.

The only person in the rivers and lakes who knows Liu Xunyi's true identity is still here after all.

......
