Due to the serious injury, his facial features looked even more ferocious, Zhou Dingtian began to think about whether to find a cloth to cover this person's face, so as not to scare his precious godson.
Wen Liunian didn't take it seriously, and deliberately took a closer look.
Zhou Dingtian: ...
How dare you get bigger and bigger.
"It really is you." After a long while, Wen Liunian squeezed his chin with a thoughtful expression on his face.
As soon as the words came out, the rest of the people were a little puzzled at first, but then they quickly realized his intentions—80% of them were trying to cheat and lie again.
Sure enough, the other party raised his eyelids and glanced at him with cloudy eyes.
"This ghostly look is probably not even a ten thousandth of what Yunduanhun was back then." Wen Liunian said, "It is worthy of staying in the vast mountains, stepping on stilts and wearing a black cloth, pretending to be gods and ghosts to fool the mountain people .”
"Shut up!" The other party's voice was hoarse, his eyes seemed to pop out of their sockets, "Yun Duanhun, all of you only know Yun Duanhun! Where is he, where is he?!"
Everyone in the room fell silent, this trick was really tried and tested...
"Where is he, what does it have to do with you?" Wen Liunian raised his eyebrows, "It's just a prisoner, and I really think I am qualified to raise conditions."
"I knew he wasn't dead!" The other party roared, then turned to look at Zhao Yue, "If I had known that you were his son, I should have killed you when I was still in Cangwu Mountain!"
After saying the words, the other four people were slightly startled. Although I had a hunch before, after all, I still guessed mostly, but now it seems that it is true
"It's a pity that you knew too late." Zhao Yue didn't react much, and said in a cold tone, "Mujiazhuang couldn't move me at the beginning, and now you can't move either."
"Bah, those two trash!" Mentioning this matter, that ugly face became a little more ferocious, "I thought Qingqiu had a lot of vision, but I didn't expect that the people under him were so useless, not only did they lose their lives, but they also lost their lives." I have lost more than a dozen mourning birds!"
"Qingqiu has no vision anymore. Anyway, they also have an island in the East China Sea. They are usually elusive and erratic, but they are like a sect. On the other hand, you stay in the barren hills and graves all day long, and you make yourself into this half-human, half-human He looks like a ghost, what qualifications do you have to call others trash." Wen Liunian shook his head, and concluded decisively, "In short, both Yunduanhun and Qingqiu are better than you."
Lu Zhui thought to himself, if he is really a scholar, his mouth is so bad... If the young couple quarrels after getting married in the future, it is estimated that the head of the family will only have chest tightness every day.
"Have you seen Qingqiu?!" The other party's eyes widened.
"What does it have to do with you?" Wen Liunian asked calmly.
"Whose person are you, the emperor, Yunduanhun, or Qingqiu?!" The other party was already confused by him. It stands to reason that the imperial court official should be from Chu Yuan, but Zhao Yue beside him is the son of Yun Duanhun, and it seems that he still has a relationship with Qingqiu now. The three identities are superimposed, which is too weird .
Wen Liunian still said: "What does it have to do with you?"
"What exactly are you trying to do?" the cloaked man asked warily.
Wen Liunian said slowly, "Li Jiao..."
"Li Jiao died a long time ago! I'm not him!" The cloaked man became more and more manic, "Yun Duanhun and Qingqiu joined forces again, didn't they? They planned to frame me together!"
Wen Liunian said: "You are really good at thinking."
The iron chain was dragged until it was almost deformed, obviously the other party was extremely angry, Wen Liunian silently took a step back - even if he couldn't break free, it's not good to be sprayed with saliva, it was a little disgusting.
At this time, Zhou Dingtian was full of emotions. When the little idiot first became an official, the family members couldn't let go of it no matter what. They always felt that they were raised all the way, and they would probably be bullied if they went out without the strength to restrain the chicken. As a result, looking at the way the case was handled now, it should have been in vain to worry at the beginning. It is estimated that he was bullying others, and his brain turned around, and ordinary people really couldn't keep up. All the rhetoric just now seems to be well-founded, but most of them can understand two or more meanings. If there is a ghost in your heart, it is likely that he will unconsciously fall into it.
Lu Zhui folded the folding fan in his hand, and shook his head in his heart, thinking it was really Li Jiao...
"Yun Duanhun is not dead, where are they now?" Li Jiao's voice was hoarse.
"I don't know." Wen Liunian confessed straightforwardly.
"Don't you know?" The cloaked man laughed dumbly, "Do you think I will believe it?"
Lu Zhui secretly sympathizes, the highest state of being fooled, I am afraid that if you tell the truth, the other party still refuses to believe it.
"But whether you are the seed of Yunduanhun or not, I can't tell now." Seeing that Wen Liunian didn't seem to be planning to speak, Li Jiao looked at Zhao Yue again, and said meanly, "After all, your mother was so flirtatious back then. Seeing a Sleeping with one, I'm afraid everyone from the emperor down to the courtiers has been exposed to rain and dew, with a pair of jade arms and a pillow for thousands of people, I can't guarantee that I will conceive you at any time, ha ha ha ha ha... "
The laughter seemed to come from hell, the veins in Zhao Yue's hands popped up, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
"What, are you angry?" Douli Jiao continued to tease, "Did Yun Duanhun tell you about your mother's love affair? Who never heard the name of Baihe in Baihuayuan from both sides of the Qinhuai River to the capital city?" , How many princes and grandsons fought at the door with their daughters in their hands in order to get a glimpse, that scene, tsk tsk."
Zhou Dingtian patted Zhao Yue's shoulder, "Let's go out first."
Zhao Yue nodded, turned around and said the dungeon without saying a word—the other party obviously knew a lot about the past, if he wanted to find more clues, he could only endure it now, after all, there will be opportunities to settle accounts in the future.
"Say it, why don't you say it?" Wen Liunian looked at him coldly, "Apart from ridiculing other people's background, do you have any other skills?"
"I don't even know who my own father is, it's really sad." Li Jiao was still shouting at the end of the empty tunnel.
"You do know who your own father is, but what happened?" Wen Liunian said, "Human is neither human nor ghost, he is stooped and walks on two fake legs all day long, he dare not take off his emaciated mask for a moment, and his martial arts are not very good In this way, raising a poisonous insect can kill more than half of it, which sounds very honorable to the ancestors."
"You!" Li Jiao was furious.
"I'm not in the mood to talk nonsense with you." Wen Liunian said, "In short, if it falls into my hands, don't even think about running away. This is not a dungeon of the government office, and I never intend to send you to the royal city. Is that clear enough?"
"Let Yun Duanhun come to see me!" Li Jiao's eyes almost burst open, and he has already regarded him as King Yun Daming's confidant, "I was born and died for him, and now he treats me like this?! He doesn't even dare to show his face , let you decide my life or death?"
"No one is interested in your life or death." Wen Liunian said, "As for whether you can meet the person you want to see, it's not up to me to decide."
"What exactly do you want to do?" Li Jiao gasped.
Wen Liunian said: "If you are willing to be a little quieter, you will not end up today."
"Stay safe? Bah!" Li Jiao said harshly, "When Qingqiu plotted against me and Yun Duanhun ordered me to be dismissed from office, why didn't someone mention to keep quiet? A hypocrite full of benevolence and morality, a brother who has fought for him for many years , is it not as good as a group of prostitutes in Fireworks and Willow Lane?!"
"Qinghuan Teahouse is not a brothel, but a place of elegance." Wen Liunian said, "When you come to the door drunk to insult other girls, after you are kicked out, you hold a grudge and send people to set fire to more than 20 people to death in the middle of the night, you There is more than enough to die." Last night, I just saw the record of this matter in the book, and I didn't expect it to be true.
"They're all for sale, pretending to be a girl from a good family." Li Jiao spat on the ground, "If you talk about killing people, who on the battlefield is not full of blood debts? Men can kill, but women can't? Want to keep all the military exploits for yourself? If there is, then you will find an excuse to chop off my head, how much better than me is this kind of behavior?"
"You are really hopeless." Wen Liunian shook his head, disgusted in his heart and really didn't want to say more, turned around and left the dungeon.
"How is it?" Zhao Yue was waiting for him at the exit.
"Take me out." Wen Liunian frowned, "I'm a little dizzy."
Zhao Yue picked him up horizontally and carried him out of the steps.
The sun was shining brightly in the courtyard, and the depression in my heart finally dissipated.
"Uncomfortable?" Zhao Yue looked at him worriedly.
"It's too stuffy inside." Wen Liunian leaned into his arms, "It'll be fine if you blow some air."
"Don't worry about such things." Zhao Yue patted him on the back, "It's not worth it."
"Yeah." Wen Liunian looked up at him, "I probably have to figure out what the specific thing is. Li Jiao is sinister and vicious, and what he said may not be true, so don't take it to heart."
Zhao Yue nodded: "Okay."
The cool wind was blowing slowly, Wen Liunian closed his eyes and was hugged quietly in his arms.
Zhou Dingtian and Lu Zhui squatted at the exit of the dungeon steps, feeling very complicated.
We are still waiting to go out when we can finish hugging.
"Take you back to the bedroom?" After a while, Zhao Yue asked in a low voice, "Sleep for a while."
"I don't want to sleep." Wen Liunian didn't even open his eyes, "It's comfortable to blow air outside."
Zhao Yue said, "Then let's go back to the government office to blow the air."
"Why?" Wen Liunian was puzzled.
Zhao Yue whispered something in his ear.
Wen Liunian's expression froze immediately, he carefully let go of the person, and looked over at an extremely slow speed.
"Ahem." Zhou Dingtian and Lu Zhui came out calmly, one in front of the other.
Wen Liunian said: "Godfather."
"Hmm." Master Zhou fully put on the majesty of his father, and walked out of the small courtyard all the way.
Lu Zhui followed closely, so as not to walk too slowly and be implicated innocently.
At least one has to consider others when making out, the dungeon smells bad!
Wen Liunian scratched his ears, then looked at Zhao Yue: "Don't go outside next time." Because the godfather is here.
Master Zhao said: "Okay."
Wen Liunian took his hand and wandered all the way back to the mansion.
It's not too late to go outside after godfather leaves.
Not long after the two returned to the government office, they received a report from the office worker, saying that Xiang Lie had sent more troops to surround the gate of the city and was checking the people who entered and left the city one by one, as if something serious had happened.
"Really?" Wen Liunian was very surprised.
Mu Qingshan thought from the side, if adults can act, they are also good at acting.
"Yes." The servant nodded.
"I'm going to take a look right now." Wen Liunian changed into his official uniform, and led his men to jog all the way, but when he went out, he bumped into Xiang Lie.
"Commander Xiang." Wen Liunian asked as soon as they met, "How is the battle going?"
"Our side won a complete victory." Xiang Lie said.
"Really?" Wen Liunian said with a smile all over his face, "That's really congratulations."
"My lord, don't be in a hurry to congratulate, this matter is not over." Xiang Lie had a headache.
"Why isn't it over yet?" Wen Liunian was puzzled.
Xiang Lie said: "The head of the Tiger Head Gang has run away."
Wen Liunian frowned: "There is such a thing?"
Standing beside him, Zhao Yue felt that it was Xiang Lie, not even himself.
"To be exact, it's not counted as running away, but being kidnapped and taken away in disorder. I don't know if he is dead or alive." Xiang Lie said helplessly, "I chased the mountain road for more than ten miles, but I didn't see anyone."
"Does Commander Xiang know who was kidnapped?" Wen Liunian asked.
Xiang Lie said: "It is said that the name is Qian Mancang, in order to avenge my brother."
Wen Liunian nodded: "Probably he's a knight-errant. It's not surprising that a lowly sect like the Tiger Head Gang would form a grudge."
That being said, he is a traitor after all, and before he saw the corpse, it was really a headache...
Xiang Lie rubbed his temples, feeling the need to sigh.
After finally coping with this end, it was almost time for dinner, Wen Liunian sat in the study and said, "I'm not hungry."
"It's clear that my stomach is growling." Zhao Yue said, "I don't want to eat in the government office, so I'll take you outside?"
"I don't want to eat." Wen Liunian still shook his head. Firstly, Li Jiao's face was really unappetizing, and secondly, the clues he got today were too many and messy. Coupled with the rumors he read in the book earlier, he wanted to string together It really takes a lot of energy to be together. Even if you have enough brains, you will inevitably have a headache when you think about it, and you will lose your appetite.
"Sister-in-law Zhang just made braised pork." Zhao Yue hugged him and sat on his lap.
"Don't eat." Wen Liunian rested his chin on his shoulder.
"What about minced meat and eggplant with rice?" Zhao Yue asked.
"Not eating either." Wen Liunian frowned.
"Beef buns?"
"Don't eat!"
Zhao Yue sighed inwardly, and patted his back lightly.
Wen Liunian was stunned for a while, seeing the sky full of stars outside the window, he suddenly came back to his senses, "Go and eat something first, go to bed early, don't wait for me to go back to the room."
"What are you going to do?" Zhao Yue was puzzled.
"Whatever you ask, you should always write it down." Wen Liunian poured some water into the inkstone, "There are also some miscellaneous thoughts, and you should write them down by the way, otherwise you should forget."
Zhao Yue wanted to say something, but he pinched his mouth: "Don't make noise!"
In case the thoughts are messed up, it takes a long time to deal with it.
Zhou Dingtian was walking outside the door, and when he saw Zhao Yue coming out, he asked, "Why didn't I see you and Xiao Liuzi having dinner tonight?"
"I'm thinking about Li Jiao today." Zhao Yue glanced at the study, "Don't disturb anyone, I'll go to the kitchen and get him something to eat."
"Are you kicked out?" Zhou Dingtian understood.
Zhao Yue nodded.
"Leave the cooking to the cook." Zhou Dingtian said, "I have something to ask you."
Zhao Yue agreed, and the two of them didn't go far. They were in a small courtyard next to the study. There were a few lanterns hanging on the eaves. The quiet breath of summer night.
Zhou Dingtian said: "Unfortunately there is no wine."
"I do have an altar." Zhao Yue said, "If senior doesn't dislike it, I can go and get it."
The clear wine was poured into the porcelain bowl, and the courtyard was filled with the aroma of wine in an instant. Zhou Dingtian took a deep breath: "What kind of wine is this?" He has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he can be regarded as drinking all the best wines in the world. But I have never encountered such a strong and mellow aroma.
Zhao Yue said: "It's Wangchuan."
"Wine from the wine fairy Liu Ling?" Zhou Dingtian's face darkened when he heard the words, "Is it given to you by Xiao Liuzi?"
"How did senior know?" Zhao Yue was a little surprised.
Zhou Dingtian's mood is extremely complicated. There are three altars of Wangchuan wine in the Shadow Chasing Palace, which is something that everyone in the world knows. He is addicted to alcohol, and it is also something that everyone in the world knows... Godfather? !
Zhao Yue coughed. If he had known this, he would not have taken it out.
After drinking half a jar of wine, Zhou Dingtian said, "What do you think about today's events?"
"I haven't seen my mother since I was born." Zhao Yue raised his head and drank a bowl of wine, "My father's name is Zhao Manjiang, he is a businessman, he knows some kung fu, he treats me very well."
"If what Li Jiao said is true and you are indeed Yun Duanhun's son, so what?" Zhou Dingtian looked at him.
"I never thought about this before." Zhao Yue shook his head, "I don't plan to think about it now."
"Why?" Zhou Dingtian asked.
"Even if it is really adopted, the kindness of nurturing for more than 20 years is as great as Mount Tai. Naturally, I will kill Mu Wanlei for my father." Zhao Yue said, "As for the grievances and grievances of the previous generation, who are the biological parents, I have always I don’t know, and no one comes to me, so why bother?”
"If you can think that way, it would be great." Zhou Dingtian poured another bowl of wine for him.
"I know what senior is worried about." Zhao Yue said, "Since I am a beloved person, I will naturally give up my life to protect him, and I will not let him have any handles in the hands of outsiders."
Zhou Dingtian said, "Aren't you afraid that one day Yun Duanhun will really send someone to look for you?"
"So what." Zhao Yue smiled, "No one can force me to do what I don't want to do."
Zhou Dingtian nodded and reached out to pat him on the shoulder.
In the middle of the night, someone knocked lightly on the door outside the study, Wen Liunian stretched vigorously, shook his head and opened the door.
"My lord." The aunt in the kitchen was holding a food box, "Eat something, Mr. Zhao specially told me to make my lord's favorite crab roe and tofu soup."
"What about others?" Wen Liunian wondered.
The aunt in the kitchen said: "It seems that I am drinking with Master Zhou next door."
Wen Liunian: ...
Drink together
Strolling to the next door full of doubts, I saw that the two were still pushing and changing glasses, and they looked a little dizzy.
"Stop drinking!" Wen Liunian said angrily with his hands on his hips.
"Xiao Liuzi." Zhou Dingtian's eyes were hazy with drunkenness, "Come on, stand here and recite a poem for godfather."
"What poem to recite!" Wen Liunian shouted, "Come here!"
"My lord." The servant ran in after hearing the sound.
"Send godfather back." Wen Liunian said, "Let Mu Bai take good care of him."
"Yes!" The servant tried his best to help Zhou Dingtian up, it was really heavy.
"Make another pair!" Zhou Dingtian was still chattering.
"Write a letter and tell Godmother that you're drinking again!" Wen Liunian's head hurt.
Zhao Yue sat at the table and watched him.
"What are you looking at!" Wen Liunian said, "Do I want to recite a poem for you too?"
Zhao Yue reached out and hugged him into his arms, lowered his head and rubbed him vigorously.
"Don't make trouble!" Wen Liunian patted his head, "Come back to the room with me!"
"I won't go back." Zhao Yue's voice was hoarse, and he was obviously a little delirious.
Wen Liunian dragged him back to the bedroom with all his might, almost out of breath.
If you still dare to drink like this after getting married in the future, you must drive them to sleep in the firewood room!
The servants brought hot water in, Wen Liunian helped him wash and undress, and then he stuffed himself into the bed indiscriminately, and we will settle the accounts together tomorrow morning.
Zhao Yue kept frowning.
Wen Liunian shook his head, and was worried about leaving him here alone, so he simply went back to the study and brought some files, and brought the food box along with him, intending to fill his stomach first and then finish the rest of the work.
Thin shredded ham and green bamboo shoots are added to the crab roe and tofu soup, which tastes very delicious. Wen Liunian leaned against the head of the bed and ate by himself, while feeding Zhao Yue a spoonful from time to time.
I just drank and didn't eat. I should have a stomachache tomorrow morning.
This night, the candles in the bedroom were lit very late.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Mubai was thinking about making some breakfast to cure his hangover, when he saw Zhou Dingtian running out of the bedroom in a hurry while getting dressed, he was startled: "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Did I get drunk last night?" Zhou Dingtian asked.
Zhou Mubai nodded: "It's true that I'm drunk, but my mother isn't here." There's nothing to be nervous about.
"Oh..." Zhou Dingtian sat back at the stone table, obviously heaving a sigh of relief, "Your mother isn't here."
Zhou Mubai: ...
"No, that kid surnamed Zhao is also drunk!" Zhou Dingtian remembered something again, and asked vigilantly, "Which room did he sleep in last night?"
Zhou Mubai paused: "I don't know." Does this matter
"I'll go and have a look." Zhou Dingtian stood up.
Zhou Mubai said helplessly: "The two are getting married soon, so don't worry about it—"
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Dingtian had already left the courtyard.
Zhou Mubai shook his head, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
At first, I thought I was the one who couldn't let go, but I didn't expect that there was a father behind me...
But this time Zhou Dingtian was in vain, the servants were cleaning the house, saying that the adults went to the study early in the morning.
"Senior Zhou." Zhao Yue and the others were in the courtyard.
"Why are you standing here?" Zhou Dingtian wondered.
"My lord said, no one is allowed to disturb him." The secret guard explained, "I only ate a few buns for breakfast, and I didn't go to the dining room."
"Don't eat and don't sleep, do you want to become a fairy or what?" Zhou Dingtian was very dissatisfied when he heard the words, so he pushed the door and entered the study with Chuchuzi.
The rest of the people applauded silently in their hearts. If Jiang is still old and hot, we dare not go in, even Zhao Dadao dare not go in!
Before everyone finished admiring him, Zhou Dingtian walked out with a calm face, with some ink stains on his clothes.
…
The courtyard was suddenly quiet, and it was actually beaten out by the adults.
Fortunately, I didn't force my way just now.
"What are you looking at!" Zhou Dingtian stared.
Didn't look at it! The dark guards looked up at the sky one after another, feeling that the clouds are really very white, no wonder they can write quatrains just by looking at them.
Zhou Dingtian straightened his clothes and walked past everyone with a dignified face.
The little bastard has been getting more and more against the sky recently...
It's maddening.
