This is the side she was embroidering when he bid farewell to Long Huang'er before he went to the south. The picture that caught his eyes at that brief glance left a shocking impression on him, and he couldn't forget it even if he wanted to. When he mentioned it to Long Huang'er just now, she hesitated for a long time before she took it out with a blushing face. She was no longer the child who didn't understand anything back then, she already knew how inconspicuous this "work" was, but it was The first thing she made for him has always been carefully treasured, never daring to get it dirty or wrinkled.
On it, there are two villains embroidered... If it can be called human beings, after Long Huang'er's timid explanation, Ye Wuchen finally understood that it was two people standing together hand in hand. He held it carefully in the palm of his hand. It doesn't matter whether the embroidery is good or bad, because to Ye Wuchen, what is embroidered on it is a girl's pure and flawless heart.
Just as he was about to leave the palace gate, Long Zhengyang walked towards him with a gloomy face. When he saw Ye Wuchen suddenly, he was taken aback for a moment, with a look of joy on his face, he stepped forward and said, "Brother Ye, long time no see. I heard that you are back for a few days, but I haven't been able to see you. Your body...is it really like the rumors?"
Ye Wuchen smiled lightly, not sure if it was possible, but asked back: "Brother Long, how have you been all these years?"
Long Zhengyang smiled bitterly, and replied: "It's okay. In the past, you could get angry for your sister and take the wind..." He slowly shook his head: "You don't understand, how much I want to have you. Strength and courage."
"Everyone has their own path and persistence. Brother Long, no matter what choice he makes, I will support you. In fact, if I were you, I would not hesitate at all." Ye Wuchen said with a smile.
Long Zhengyang's eyes were complicated, and he said disappointedly: "So, I am not as good as you at all. If I can have half of you, I would be willing to reduce my life by ten years. I always knew that I should not be born in the emperor's family."
"For yourself, it doesn't matter how many times you are crazy. If you haven't experienced a few real madness and ups and downs in your life, you may have to regret at the end of your life. Although life is given by others, you can't decide anything, because My life is my own. It's getting late, so I'll say goodbye here." Ye Wuchen nodded at him and left the palace.
Long Zhengyang kept watching him walk away, repeating a few words he said in his mind, finally heaved a long sigh and left sadly.
Their conversation was like playing charades, and although the group of motionless guards around them could hear them all, they were all in a foggy state, completely unintelligible.
On the way home, Ye Wuchen sighed: "He is right, he is not suitable to be born in the emperor's family, let alone be a prince, the emperor... also cannot be a true friend. But... Xueer , we owe him a huge favor after all, and I don't want to owe anyone. At least... I will give him the complete life he wants. "
"Brother, you didn't go to see Sister Shui Rou today, is she worried?" Ning Xue reminded.
"Well, so, let's go to your Sister Shuirou's house now. We'll have dinner there."
"Great, I like to eat the dishes cooked by Sister Shuirou the most." Ningxue clapped her hands happily.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, killing night.
chi... chi...
With two indiscernible sounds, a red line appeared on the necks of the two drowsy guards in the dungeon. Their eyes protruded and their bodies collapsed. Two figures in black clothes and black masks jumped out of the darkness silently, holding their bodies to prevent the sound of falling to the ground.
There were no stars in the sky, and it was pitch black outside. At this time, it was the darkness before dawn, and it was also the short, but darkest short period of time in the night. Dim lights were burning in the dungeon. This is the place where serious offenders are detained. The guards are extremely strict. There are at least two guards almost every ten steps, and a thick iron gate every thirty steps. However, these two shadows broke in from the heavily guarded dungeon entrance, killing people, Opening the door...there was no sound that could alarm others.
"Crack", with a soft sound, they used the key they found from the guard to open an iron door again, and entered quietly. All the way down, under the dim light, it looks like two flashing ghosts.
The guards of the Ouchi dungeon responded in the same way. Not only did they have bright guards, but there were also many dark guards who hid in the dark and had high strength. They didn't even have time to react, let alone resist, they all fell to the ground silently.
The two of them entered the heavily guarded dungeon as easily as entering their own home. They went all the way to the bottom floor and finally found their target this time.
Lin Xiao, who used to be personable and gentle, lay with disheveled hair on the ground that released a damp smell. The ground was covered with sparse dry grass, but the bare ground was almost rubbed into mud. His luxurious coat has been smeared with mud and messed up.
Lin Xiao was locked up alone, Long Yin naturally hoped that the fewer people he was locked up, the better. In the darkness, a stone "swished" and cut across the throat of the only guard like a sharp knife. The guard groaned in pain and fell down.
Hearing the sound, Lin Xiao raised his head in a daze, only to see two men in black pick up the key from the guard, and then unlock the iron door. In less than three days, he seemed to have aged ten years all of a sudden, with a bearded face, sunken eye sockets, and dull eyes. Suffering such persecution without knowing why, not only will he die, but he will also be ruined and cast aside by all people. Even if others know that they are wronged, they can't change it. Maybe anyone will feel ashamed. What's even more tragic is that he still doesn't know who killed him, how it all happened, and why it happened.
He didn't know if there was anyone more pitiful than him in this world.
"Master, let's go." The two men in black walked over and helped him up together. A smell of coaxing came to their nostrils, making them frown secretly.
"No... I won't go. If I escape, it means that I really have ghosts in my heart. I can't go..." Although he didn't know who these two people were, he would risk his life to save him at this time, so he only Probably his family.
"Master, you have to go. The emperor knows that you were framed, but he can't help but kill you... Even if you die, you can't be innocent, and death is for nothing... Young master, even if you don't think of yourself, you should Think about the master and the others. The master has been loyal to the emperor all his life, why did he take a huge risk to let us do such a rebellious thing today? Have you ever thought about it? You have already lost your ability to conceive, young master, if you die again, the Lin family... will be the last one! Young master, come with us, escape far away, hide your name, marry and have children, let the Lin family succeed you! "The voice of the man in black sounds like that of a middle-aged man.
Lin Xiao's dead eyes finally regained his spirit, and he nodded in pain. This time, he will never be able to return to Tianlong City after escaping, and what will be spread in the world will be his infamy. But if he doesn't escape... Not only will he die, but what he stays behind will also be infamy.
The two men in black nodded at the same time, and each of them held Lin Xiao's arm: "Quick, the master has already prepared for you in the north. After you go out, you only need to go all the way north."
After the man in black finished speaking, he took him away quickly. Before leaving, the other man in black glanced intentionally or unintentionally at the guard who was lying on the ground with blood bubbling from his neck, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
When the two took Lin Xiao out, their steps were much faster than when they came, so they were no longer so careful. However, due to the extremely short time they spent in and out, they were not noticed. But as soon as they left the gate of the dungeon, they heard a panicked shout: "There are assassins! There are assassins breaking into the dungeon!!"
The body of the guard in front of the dungeon was finally discovered by the patrolling guards. The two men in black did not panic, and led Lin Xiao to the sky, leaping to the high roof through the darkness. As soon as they left, a large group of people rushed into the dungeon with weapons.
At this time, the sky was slightly bright, and it was getting closer to dawn. They took Lin Xiao up and down and headed northward, focusing only on speed, as if they didn't care about being discovered. And their speed shocked Lin Xiao, who was sober in the cold wind, and wondered when such a person appeared in the Lin family.
When they left the palace, there was obvious commotion in the palace. They kept walking, headed north, passed through the north gate, and sent Lin Xiao nearly ten miles north of the city. A fat horse has been tied to a tree here.
The two let go of Lin Xiao, untied the rein and put it in Lin Xiao's hands: "Young master, they should have discovered it by now, and they might come after them here. It's not too late, young master, get on the horse quickly, we are waiting here, If they are really chasing in this direction, we will stop them, please rest assured, young master."
While talking, the man in black untied a package that had been hanging by his waist and put it in Lin Xiao's hand: "There are enough bank notes in it, which should be enough for the young master to spend his whole life, and there are also some clothes and dry food, which the young master usually rarely buys. There is also a letter from the master. Please be careful on this journey, it is best to make fewer stops, and after you settle down in the north, try to expose as little as possible, because there may not be people who have seen you in other places When the young master grows up and no one can recognize you, the master will send someone to pick you up secretly, take care!"
Lin Xiao took the package, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Who are you two?"
The two men in black looked at each other, and one of them chuckled: "We have followed the old master since we were young, but we have never exposed it, but we have watched the young master grow up. With the unparalleled intelligence of the young master, we should understand that if a If the big family wants to stand upright, they must have their own last barrier that is unknown to others. Our existence, but even the emperor does not know, otherwise how can we save the young master today. When the young master returns in the future, we are willing to become The young master's right-hand man."
Lin Xiao understood in his heart, nodded, got on his horse, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kindness, two seniors, Lin Xiao bids farewell. Please tell my father and grandfather that I am the son of the Lin family. I will never be depressed from now on, let alone discredit the Lin family, so I will bid you farewell!"
Lin Xiao didn't stay any longer, put away the package, waved his horsewhip, and left in the dust.
The two men in black watched him go away until they could no longer hear the sound of horseshoes, then they took off the veil together, revealing the faces of two middle-aged men. They were a man and a woman, who looked forty or fifty years old. After taking off their veils, they also took off all the black clothes on their bodies, but instead of throwing them away, they folded them randomly and put them in a black package.
After finishing all this, the two looked at each other with a mysterious smile on the corners of their mouths. If you are in the city at this time, someone will definitely think in your heart: "Oh, isn't this the father and mother of the fierce general Heixiong who is next to the emperor? He usually wanders around the city every day and looks stupid. How does he look now? So energetic."
