As Master Kurong said, Ji Xuan's return to Beijing is urgent, and he has been away from Beijing for too long this time, since he is determined to seize the throne, it is not good to be away for too long.

In the early morning of the next day, Master Kurong led everyone to bid farewell to Ji Xuan and his party at the foot of the mountain.

Due to the fact that Chen Qiding Muxi and Gongque Guo Dongming were accompanying him, Ji Xuan only asked Tang Bin to lead 500 cavalry to escort him, and the rest of the Ding'an army returned to the garrison under the leadership of the deputy general.

The road was unusually peaceful, and nothing happened again. And Ji Xuan was also like an arrow, and when he arrived at the post station where he should stop, he only took a short rest and hurried away.

"Brother Chen, do you want to go to the capital with me first, or go to Butterfly Villa first?" When they reached a fork in the road that day, Ji Xuan ordered the team to stop, and then said to Chen Qi, "If you go to Butterfly Villa first, we will be separated here, you follow this road, and you will arrive at Butterfly Villa in less than an hour." ”

Chen Qi said: "I have asked Sister Guo and Hao'er for their opinions, and they decided to go to Butterfly Mountain Villa first, after all, the matter of the Shen Mansion has passed for a long time, and they don't want to delay any longer." ”

Ji Xuan said: "In this case, we will separate here, wait for you to leave Butterfly Mountain Villa, return to this place, and then follow this road forward, and arrive in the capital in half an hour." ”

Chen Qi said: "Brother Wei first, Ximei and Xiaofan and I will go to the capital after sending them to Butterfly Villa." ”

Ji Xuan nodded, and then the two sides said goodbye.

Chen Qi and his entourage of five walked forward for about half an hour, then entered the mountainous area, and several people continued to walk inside along the mountain road.

Although it is a mountain road, it is not rugged, and it is artificially built to be extremely smooth, just like an official road. On both sides of the trail, including the entire uphill, the trees are extremely dense, and various shrubs and flowers fill the gaps left between the trees.

Although you can't see the green and gorgeous of these trees and flowers in late autumn, you can't smell the fragrance of flowers, you can't hear the birds competing with each other, and you can't see the tenderness of butterflies and flowers, but the gold of this mountain is also very breathtaking.

Seeing such a scene, the five couldn't help but hold the reins in their hands and move forward slowly.

In fact, this full of autumn colors can also be seen in Tianwen Mountain, so Chen Qiding Muxi was extremely indifferent, while the other three were extremely amazed.

"At this time, the scenery here is so beautiful, if it is spring, a hundred flowers bloom, a hundred birds are singing, and there are butterflies flying around among the flowers, how beautiful it would be!" Although Yu Min is the young lady of the Shen family, she has never been anywhere, let alone seen such a scene, and she can't help but marvel.

Also amazed was Shen Changhao, compared to Yu Min, as the young master of the Shen family, he went to fewer places.

Although Meng Xiaofan and Meng Bufan have walked the rivers and lakes and visited many places, there are very few real tours in the mountains and rivers, and he is also extremely amazed by the scenery in front of him, but when he saw Chen Qi and Ding Muxi were unusually indifferent, he did not show his true heart.

Moving on, the mountain slopes slowly upward, but the mountain path is still so smooth.

"Look, it's a big butterfly!"

With Meng Xiaofan's exclamation, the other four people looked over, not far ahead, there was a big tree growing obliquely on the mountains on both sides of the mountain road to the middle of the mountain road, and the two big trees met in the middle of the mountain road and snuggled against each other, forming a natural mountain gate. Someone else took advantage of these two large trees and made them into a giant butterfly with rattan of different colors. At the same time, the compiler used golden rattan to weave three big characters on the butterfly wings - Butterfly Valley.

"This idea is so good!" Ding Muxi praised.

"Yes, yes!" Meng Xiaofan also agreed.

After admiring the idea, the group moved on. After this place, several people saw a gorgeous courtyard built on the eastern hillside, and the plaque at the gate of the courtyard prominently wrote four big characters - Butterfly Courtyard.

"Could it be that this is Butterfly Villa?" Meng Xiaofan asked, looking at the courtyard.

Chen Qi said: "It shouldn't be here, didn't you see that it was written on the other courtyard?"

Shen Changhao said: "This courtyard is not Butterfly Villa, I heard my mother say that my uncle's house has two courtyards, one is for people who come here to play, and the other is my uncle's house." ”

Meng Xiaofan pursed his lips and said, "Since it's not for us to move forward quickly, I'm already hungry." ”

"Who are you and why are you here?"

Just as Meng Xiaofan's words fell, and several people were about to ride forward, a middle-aged man walked out of the gate of the other courtyard, looked at the five people and said.

Seeing that someone was questioning, the five turned over and dismounted and came to the door.

Chen Qi clasped his fists and saluted, then pointed at Shen Changhao and said: "He is the son of the Shen Zhuang of the Shen family in Liyang, and the nephew of your Ouyang Zhuang Lord, who came to visit Ouyang Zhuang. ”

Seeing Chen Qi say this, the middle-aged man took two steps forward and looked at Shen Changhao carefully.

"The eldest lady of my family has not been back for many years, you say that it is from the Shen family, why didn't the eldest lady go with her?" asked the middle-aged man after looking at Shen Changhao for a moment.

Shen Changhao said: "I will explain my mother's affairs when I see my uncle, and now I am still troublesome for my uncle to take me to see my uncle." ”

The middle-aged man said: "If what you say is true, Butterfly Villa will greet you politely, but if you dare to deceive, Butterfly Villa will also punish you." ”

Ding Muxi said: "If you don't take us to see your owner, how can you tell if what we say is true or false?"

"When I arrange it, I will take you to see the owner, you ......"

"Who are you talking to?"

Before the man could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a female voice like a warbler crying from the courtyard.

"Miss Qiyu, there are a few people who claim to be from the Shen family in Liyang who have come to see the owner. When the middle-aged man heard the woman's voice, he immediately turned to the door and bowed in reply.

"Liyang Shen family, isn't that the eldest sister's family?"

While speaking, a woman walked out of the courtyard gate, this woman was the same age as Chen Qiding Muxi, her face was like a peach and plum, but she looked cold as frost, and her voice was extremely incompatible.

The woman looked at Chen Qi and the others, and then asked, "You are from the Shen family, did my sister ask you to come?"

Yu Min said: "Miss calls my sister-in-law my sister-in-law, presumably you are my sister-in-law's little sister." ”

The woman said, "Who are you, and how do you know my name?"

Ding Muxi said: "She is the fourth lady of the Shen family. ”

The woman looked at Ding Muxi and asked coldly, "Who are you?"

Ding Muxi said: "I am a friend of Sister Yu, and I escorted my sister here. Since you are the young lady of the Ouyang family, then you take a closer look at who he is?"

Ding Muxi said and pushed Shen Changhao in front of him.

The woman took her eyes off Ding Muxi, and then stared at Shen Changhao carefully.

"Are you Hao'er?" said the woman after a moment.

Shen Changhao said: "I'm Shen Changhao, are you really a sultry aunt?"

When the woman heard Shen Changhao say this, she immediately ran forward, squatted down, held Shen Changhao's shoulders, and said happily: "I'm my aunt, Hao'er, why are you here? What about your mother? Why didn't she come?"

This woman is Ouyang Susu, the little sister of Ouyang Yi, the owner of Butterfly Mountain Villa.

Shen Changhao finally couldn't help it at this moment, and cried: "Mother, mother is no longer there......"

"What?" Ouyang Susu put away the smile he had just shown, and asked with his eyebrows locked, "You tell me clearly, what's wrong with the eldest sister?"

Yu Min also squatted down, hugged the crying Shen Changhao into his arms, and comforted Ouyang Su and said: "Our Shen family was besieged by the Tianyi Sect, except for me and Hao'er, more than 100 people in the whole family died tragically...... Yu Min couldn't control it as he spoke, and cried sadly.
