Views:

A month has passed in the blink of an eye. Chu Tianyi packed up his greetings early and took Gu Qingchen to prepare to leave the valley. Ning Jiuwei and Long Yurong stood at the door of the house, looking at the two people.

"Tian Yan, remember to come back early." Long Yurong looked at Chu Tian Yan with tenderness in her eyes.

Chu Tianwei smiled and nodded and said, "Don't worry, it's not the first time. You and Jiuwei just wait for me to come back."

Gu Qingchen looked at Ning Jiuwei on the side, then took out a jade pendant from his hand and handed it to her, and said, "Jiuwei, will you go find me?"

"No." Ning Jiu frowned slightly, stuffed the jade pendant back, and said.

“.…”

Long Yurong looked at Ning Jiuwei like this and shook her head. Why is this child's emotional intelligence so low? When can she bring her son-in-law back to her like this

Hearing Ning Jiuwei's words, Gu Qingchen's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointment. Then he smiled and handed the dragon-shaped jade pendant to Ning Jiuwei and said, "Then wait for me to come to you."

Before Ning Jiuwei could say anything this time, Chu Tianyi hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's go first."

Watching the two people walking away, Ning Jiuwei frowned at the jade pendant in her hand and wanted to throw it away, but suddenly stretched out a hand from behind and snatched the jade pendant away.

"What is this? It couldn't have been given to you by that beautiful little brother, right?" Qi Lexuan walked over from behind her, looking at it and asking with a smile.

Ning Jiuwei glanced at Qi Lexuan and said, "I gave it to you."

"No, I don't want it. It might be a token of love. How can I snatch it away? You'd better keep it properly." Qi Lexuan said and handed the jade pendant to Ning Jiuwei.

Long Yurong, who was watching this scene, couldn't help but shake her head and said: "Sure enough, children in ancient times matured precociously, and they knew they were engaged at a young age."

“….”

"Sister Long, what is precocious puberty?"

After Qi Lexuan asked, Ning Jiuwei also looked at Long Yurong with a pair of puzzled eyes. During this period of contact, he couldn't understand some of the words she said every time.

"It's just being sensible too early, which is called precocity." Long Yurong said.

"That's right. Sister Long, were you praising me for being smart just now?" Qi Lexuan asked, tilting her head.

Long Yurong blinked, then she held back her laughter and nodded, "Well, I'm just complimenting you, Le Xuan is very sensible."

"If you hold back your laughter, I will believe it." Ning Jiuwei said.

"...You crazy girl, you are getting better and better." Long Yurong curled her lips. She didn't know when this child learned to have a cold sense of humor.

Then he said to Ning Jiuwei: "It's getting late, let's go learn the piano."

… …

Chu Tianyi took Gu Qingchen, a seven-year-old child with him. The two of them left the valley and rode two horses along the path straight to the capital of Dali.

Perhaps it was because Gu Qingchen had not been found this month, so the people who were chasing him seemed to have given up, and the two of them were relatively safe along the way.

However, the two of them did not dare to take it lightly and headed to the capital as quickly as possible. The two-month journey was shortened by less than half.

"As long as we enter Dongcheng, we will be able to reach the capital the next afternoon. Let's make do in the restaurant here tonight and go to the capital early tomorrow morning." Chu Tian stopped his horse and looked at the gate of Dongcheng. , said.

Gu Qingchen's still immature face showed a bit of calmness as he nodded and said, "You all listen to Uncle Chu."

The two of them entered the restaurant, ate something to fill their stomachs, and then went upstairs to take a shower and prepare to rest. At this time, the sky was already gloomy and it seemed like it was going to rain.

Gu Qingchen looked at the dark clouds outside the window and bit his lower lip. The strong wind blew on his face and blew his hair behind him. A bright lightning pierced the clouds, which was extremely strange.

Seeing this scene, Gu Qingchen took a deep breath, slowly closed the window, and slid down with his back against the window. His eyes were filled with hatred. One day, he would return to Daliang to avenge his mother and concubine. .

Not long after, the heavy rain outside poured down like a torrent, beating on the eaves and windows, making a crackling sound. Along with the sound of the strong wind, it was very terrifying. It made Gu Qingchen even more frightened. He hugged his body and squatted down. Go down, cover your ears and tremble.

Next door, Chu Tianyi stood in front of the closed bed, listening to the sounds outside, and closed his eyes. He didn't know why, but his mind seemed a little restless, and he always felt that something was about to happen.

Thunder roared, lightning continued, the big trees outside were blown to sway, the wind and rain poured down, black figures flashed outside the window, Chu Tianwei suddenly opened his eyes in the room, a cold light suddenly appeared, turned around and picked up the knife on the bedside , blue veins popped out.

'Hoo~'

The window was blown open by the strong wind from the outside, and the door was also opened at this time. A man walked in front of him, with rainwater sliding down his neck. A pair of eyes as black as a cold pool stared at Chu Tianyi, his lips The petals are slightly hooked, which is getting more and more weird in this weather.

"Chu Tianyi, you are fine after all these years." The man raised his head, and the cloak and hat on his head fell down, revealing the man's exquisite facial features.

Chu Tianyi's hands shook slightly, and then he said, "Pavilion Master?"

"Hmm~ It seems you still remember me." After the man finished speaking, the corner of his lips raised a smile, which was very ghostly.

After hearing the man's words, Chu Tianyi lowered his eyes and remained silent. At this moment, several men in black jumped in from the window behind him and surrounded him.

"Chu Tianyi, you should know what happens to those who betray me." The man said, sitting on the chair, curling his lips and speaking leisurely.

"Pavilion Master, it was my fault back then, but seven years ago, he was just a newborn baby. I really couldn't do anything." Chu Tianyi said and closed his eyes.

After hearing this, the man's surroundings suddenly turned away, and he stared at Chu Tianyi with sinister eyes. He looked at Chu Tianyi and said, "It's not that you don't know what his Emperor Shaocheng did. I just took the life of one of his sons. Is it too much?"

"The child is innocent." Chu Tianwei said with a frown.

When the man heard what Chu Tianmei said, he sneered and said, "Chu Tianmei, I only know how to fight tooth for tooth. You have the final say in everything that is innocent."

"I want to hand over Di Qingchen for the sake of you and my brother. Otherwise, don't blame me for not caring about brotherhood." After the man finished speaking, the dagger he was playing with clinked on the table.

Chu Tianyi looked at the man, held the knife in front of him, and said, "Pavilion Master, I owe his mother a favor, so I'm sorry."

Seeing this, the man nodded and said, "Chu Tianyi, this was what I admired most about you back then, but you can only be buried here today because of this merit."

After the words fell, the man waved his hand, and the men in black surrounded Chu Tianyi. The lightning outside echoed the swords and swords in the room, and blood flowed like a river.

The man pulled out the dagger from the table, stood up and walked out, instructing several men in black: "Search the entire restaurant for me. I must find Di Qingchen. I will do it in front of Di Qingchen." In front of Shaocheng, I will kill him with my own hands."

"yes."

When Chu Tianyi heard the man's words, he raised his knife and killed the man in black beside him, and then quickly chased after him, blocking the man's way and shouting: "Qingchen, leave the restaurant immediately, hurry up .”

"Chu Tianmei, I wanted to let you go, but you came here to die, so don't blame me for being rude." The man said, dodging Chu Tianmei's sword, and quickly used the other hand holding the dagger to A blood mark was drawn on Chu Tianli's shoulder.

At this time, Gu Qingchen, who had heard the sound in the next room, shook his body, stood up, listened to the sound next door, frowned, and then he heard the sound of his door being kicked open. .
