Lin'an City West, Welcome Building.

There were already two empty plates in front of Ma Yangchen, and Lin'an Linglong's fried buns really lived up to their reputation. Chop the pork belly, put it into the skin jelly that is made every other day after boiling for three hours, and fry it in a frying pan until golden brown, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, the soup is delicious and has an excellent taste.

Gonggong Tan sat opposite, smiling silently, watching Ma Yangchen feast, with a kind smile on his face.

Eating the last raw fried bun into his stomach, burping, Ma Yangchen wiped his mouth and said, "Grandpa Tan, thank you for inviting me to eat Linglong fried buns." I don't know why I was summoned to the Welcome Building?"

Gonggong Tan glanced back at the two subordinates and said, "Gao Lishi, you go down first, and I will talk to this son about something." ”

Colliers nodded and stepped out.

Gonggong Tan sorted out the wording and said, "Your birthday is February 18, and this year is the seventeenth, and you have a palm-sized birthmark on your back, right?"

Ma Yangchen was taken aback and said, "Not bad." ”

Tan Gonggong said again: "Do you have a piece of purple jade close to your body, like a unicorn?" ”

Ma Yangchen reached into his arms, took out a bag from his arms, and when he opened it, it was a purple jade unicorn.

Tan Gong said fairly: "That's right. ”

Ma Yangchen was flustered for a while, and hurriedly said, "Gonggong Tan, how do you know this?"

Gonggong Tan retracted his gaze and said leisurely: "Our family will tell you a story." ”

Ma Yangchen sat solemnly for the first time, and he had a hunch that the next story would be a big secret involving his life experience.

Father-in-law Tan said softly: "This should be a spring seventeen years ago, but it was snowing heavily that day. It was so cold that even the dogs didn't want to go out. I was on duty that night, and I was about to..."

Before the words fell, Ma Yangchen got up suddenly, came to the door and suddenly opened the door, and a figure disappeared. Ma Yangchen quickly chased him out, and when he returned to the room again, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

A dagger was stabbed in the chest of Gonggong Tan, straight into the heart.

Father-in-law Tan, who was dying, raised his hand to grab Ma Yangchen's hand and said, "Don't chase it, they still won't let me find you." Remember, kid, leave Lin'an immediately. ”

Ma Yangchen hurriedly said: "Who is the murderer?"

Gonggong Tan shook his head and said, "You can go quickly." When our family leaves Luoyang this time, we know that it will be more auspicious, and the purple jade unicorn on your body must be put away, one day..."Blood flowed down the corners of his mouth, Tan Gonggong's head tilted, and his soul returned to the nine heavens.

Ma Yangchen's tears flowed down in an instant. He didn't know why he felt so kind to this father-in-law who had only met twice. Seeing such an old man pass away, I felt indescribable sadness in my heart.

The dagger on Tan Gonggong's body is still there, and it seems that the murderer didn't have time to pull it out and take it away. Ma Yangchen carefully took off the dagger, carefully measured it, and found that the handle of the dagger was engraved with the word "Feng".

Ma Yangchen put away the dagger, helped Gonggong Tan close his eyes, and got up to leave the room.

Walking on the road, Ma Yangchen was in a trance.

"Who am I? What story does Grandpa Tan want to tell? This story must be related to my life experience. Why was Gong Gong Tan killed? Where did Gao Lishi and his companions go? Are they murderers? Who is Feng referring to? Is the eunuch of Shangyang Palace coming to Lin'an for the Zhenguo Divine Beast? Why did Gong Gong Tan let me leave Lin'an immediately? What secret does the purple jade qilin hide?" A large number of questions lingered in Ma Yangchen's mind.

The little white carried the horse and dust, walking aimlessly.

One man and one horse, came to a tavern.

Ma Yangchen got off his horse, entered the tavern, and found a place to sit down. My mind is very messy, and I don't have the slightest clue.

It is a tavern, mom-and-pop shop. The proprietress came to her and said politely, "Little brother, what do you want to eat?"

Ma Yangchen smiled bitterly and said, "Two plates of appetizers, a pot of burning knives." ”

The proprietress replied dryly, "Okay! Wait a minute." "I turned around and went to serve the food.

At this time, two more people walked into the tavern, came straight to Ma Yangchen's table, and said, "If you want to drink, don't call me." ”

Ma Yangchen looked up and saw that it was Duguxun and her maid Qiu Xiang.

Greet and sit down, and the food and drinks are served.

Ma Yangchen had something in his heart, picked up the cup, raised his neck and drank it. The burning knife was spicy in the mouth, and he choked out tears.

Qiu Xiang glanced at Dugu Xun and said, "Miss, this kind of wine..."

Dugu Xun glanced at Ma Yangchen and said, "Qiu Xiang, you go back first, I'll accompany my brother." We'll go back to Rong Bao Zhai in a while. ”

Qiu Xiang wanted to speak and stopped, and left the tavern in a huff.

Dugu Xun also got himself a glass of wine, and asked softly, "Brother Yi, what's wrong with you?"

Ma Yangchen picked up another cup, drained it in one gulp, and said, "I feel uncomfortable." ”

Dugu Xun is worthy of being a child of the rivers and lakes, and he also raised his glass and drank it all, and said proudly: "I'll accompany you!"

Ma Yangchen picked up the wine jug, filled it for Dugu Xun, poured himself another glass, and said with a wry smile: "I suddenly feel empty in my heart." When I grew so big, I didn't know who I was all of a sudden. ”

Dugu Xun said: "I know. You are my brother-in-law. Here, do another one. ”

Ma Yangchen said: "No, I'm not the person you know. ”

Dugu Xun said: "If you don't want to say it, don't say it, no one will force you." I only know that the children of the rivers and lakes don't have to worry too much. Everyone has their own secrets in their hearts. ”

Ma Yangchen was speechless.

Dugu Xun saw that the topic had cooled down, and hurriedly said, "Come, brother-in-law." I toast you with a glass of wine, thank you I have a good heart, let me only use five taels of silver to get the index map of the Zhenguo Divine Beast. ”

Ma Yangchen smiled: "Sister Nangong must have leaked the news to you in advance, otherwise how could you guess accurately." ”

Dugu Xundao: "Absolutely not." I'm really guessing, which shows that the two of us have a very tacit understanding. ”

Ma Yangchen smiled: "The ghost believes you." ”

Dugu Xun was so anxious that his little face turned red, and he didn't know if it was because of drinking, so he said, "I swear!" Sister Nangong definitely didn't reveal the news to me. ”

Ma Yangchen looked stupid for a while.

Dugu Xun saw Ma Yangchen stunned, and hurriedly looked himself up and down, and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Ma Yangchen suddenly said: "Have the people from Bafang Fengyulou arrived in Hangzhou?"

Dugu Xun snorted and said: "I arrived in Hangzhou with the two hall masters of the Crazy Sword and Angry Sword, and my father was worried about my safety, so he asked me to go to Rong Bao Zhai in Yuxiao Nangong Willow Branch to wait for news." ”

Ma Yangchen let out a long breath and said, "I am the target of your action this time. Is the task received by the Crazy Sword Fury Sword to secretly arrest the envoy of the Yasukuni Gong?"

Dugu Xun smiled and said, "You won't tell me that you are the person of the Yasukuni Gong?"

Ma Yangchen said: "That's right. I am Ma Yangchen, the special envoy of the Yasukuni Minister. ”

Dugu Xun smiled: "I won the bet." ”

Ma Yangchen said: "Aren't you surprised?"

Dugu Xun smiled and said, "I made a bet with Sister Yuxiao Nangong, I said that you would tell us the truth in person, but she still didn't believe it." We bet I won. Thank you for your candor of me. ”

"You've been suspicious of me for a long time?"

"Just based on the secret mark of the pearl flower of the thousand gates, it is not certain that you are the disciple of the thousand gates of the ballad general Liu Yishou. Of course, the most important thing is that the people of Qianmen were also in Rongbaozhai that day, and Sister Nangong deliberately left you as a seller to determine your true identity. ”

"I thought I had deceived you all, but I didn't know that I was in someone's pit. Ma Yangchen looked lonely.

Dugu Xun Yingying smiled: "What's the matter?

Ma Yangchen stretched, smiled, and said, "No." I have an important thing to do right now, save the wine for later. But since I and you and Sister Nangong are married to Jinlan, this love will be continued later. The green mountains do not change, the green water flows forever, and the rivers and lakes will see you again!"

A trace of loneliness flashed in Dugu Xun's eyes, and he said, "No matter who you are, you are my righteous brother." ”

Ma Yangchen smiled apologetically and said, "Of course, I won't forget." When I figure out my background, I'll go and have a drink with you. ”

Dugu Xun took off a jade pendant from his waist, handed it to Ma Yangchen, and said, "Brother Chen, this is the jade pendant I have carried with me since I was a child, and I gave it to you as a meeting gift." When you're done, remember to come to me in Wuzhou. Bafang Fengyulou can find me as soon as you ask. ”

Ma Yangchen nodded and said, "It will definitely be." My purple jade unicorn can't be given away yet, and when I find out my background, I will definitely give it to you in the future. ”

Dugu Xun shook his head and grinned: "It's like parting from life and death, it's really unlucky! Come, let's do this glass of wine again, the mountains are high and the water is long, I wish you all the best of luck." When you come to Wuzhou, I invite you to drink authentic green plum wine, and ensure that you are drunk for a thousand years, and you are happy like a fairy. ”

Ma Yangchen suddenly became arrogant, raised his glass and drank it all, and said: "Okay! ”

Dugu Xun took out the index map of the Zhenguo Divine Beast from his body, handed it to Ma Yangchen, and said: "This picture may be helpful for you to uncover the mystery of your life experience, you can take it with you." ”

Ma Yangchen pointed to his head and said with a smile: "No, it's all written here." ”

Dugu Xun put away the index map and said, "Will you leave Lin'an?"

Ma Yangchen said: "I want to go to a place first and explain what I am doing." If you want to uncover my background, you have to start with the closest to me. ”

Dugu Xun said: "Well, I'll wait for you." ”

Silence and silence, looking at each other without words.

Ma Yangchen's heart rippled. Little did he know that this emotion would later become the most important memory of his life. Dugu Xun's appearance was deeply seared into his mind and became the person he dreamed of.

A pair of children in the rivers and lakes, a meeting in Pingshui, just like this, began the lovesickness of the teenager from the ordinary relationship.

Dugu Xun never thought that he had no intention when he came, and he was always bone.

Ma Yangchen can't figure it out, in the dark, it has already been decided.

People are really strange sometimes. Just one glance, destined for a lifetime.

The wine is gone.

Looking at Ma Yangchen's distant figure, Dugu Xun's eyes flashed with tears.
