In the inner island, there is a city of bliss, where the Heroes of the World will be held.
There is a saying in the rivers and lakes: masters are in the court, heroes are in the martial arts; gold and silver are in Baixiao, beauties are in bliss.
In Bliss City, brothels and beauties are the most indispensable. It is a down-to-earth gentle township, known as the "Wonderland" for men.
Wen Chan and his party arrived in Paradise City on the evening of the second day. The city was full of people, and the melancholy sound of huqin and pipa came from afar, which attracted Wen Chan, who was sitting in the carriage, to poke his head curiously.
The lair of God's Guidance is located on the east side of May Island. When they came to May Island in their previous lives, in order to save time, they took the east road and never visited the City of Elysium.
The carriage was stopped by the guards when entering the city, and Wen Chan got out of the carriage, staring at the scenery in the city, full of shock.
Lanterns of different colors are hung on the ten-mile long street from the city gate, and a huge gauze curtain is hung on the top of the head. A large piece of white and tender skin danced lightly, or played music, and the sound of laughter filled the entire City of Paradise.
Shan Ke walked up to him, and he was no longer surprised by this, "People in Bliss City have been celebrating the gods for the past two months, so it's not unusual to see people standing on the street singing and dancing."
It was the first time for Wen Chan to see such a scene, and asked curiously, "What god is celebrating?"
"Wuyue Bridge is flooded by the Immortal River every May, so people here think that the river is flooded when the Immortals arrive, so their celebration of the gods will not end until July when the river recedes."
One side of water and soil, one side of customs. Wen Chan got used to it after the initial surprise.
As soon as you step into the city, the air is filled with a faint scent of powder, although it is a bit sweet but not offensive, Wen Chan does not reject it. The guards following behind couldn't help but glance at the exposed waists of those women, but because Shan Ke was in front, they didn't dare to make any outrageous movements.
Among the group, only Situ Zhoulan and Qiao Yanci belonged to the girl's house. Seeing the girls on the street singing and dancing, they felt uncomfortable. Situ Zhoulan just kept his eyes on the road with an ugly face, while Qiao Yanci was Annoyed and secretly cursed a few shameless words.
After a day and night of traveling, everyone except Wen Chan was exhausted, so Shan Ke found an inn, arranged rooms for everyone, and distributed money for meals, so that everyone could go to rest separately.
The inn is quite grand, with three floors in total, the more expensive the higher up, but fortunately, Shan Ke is rich and powerful, he doesn't care about these at all, he is so generous that he wants to book a room for everyone, but there are not enough rooms.
So Situ Zhoulan and Qiao Yanci shared a room, Liang Yanbei and Shan Ke shared a room, Wen Chan shared a room with calligraphy and painting as usual, piano and chess shared a room with calligraphy and painting, Xie Zhaoxue and Zhong Wenjin shared a room, and the rest of the guards It is also a room for two.
The assignment was properly done, and everyone else was fine. Wen Chan always felt that something might go wrong between Xie Zhaoxue and Zhong Wenjin. After all, the two did not match each other. The little uncle doesn't have any respect at all, so if two people share a room, won't something happen
Facts have proved that Wen Chan was right.
Liang Yanbei was so tired that he didn't eat any food, so he went straight into the room and fell asleep. Wen Chan wanted to thank him, but after learning that he was already asleep, he put it aside and went to eat instead.
The inn has its own restaurant, Wen Chan ate something casually, and it was getting dark outside.
The multicolored lanterns hanging on both sides of the long street were lit up majesticly at this time, reflecting the colorfulness of the street, and the veil covering the top was also torn off, revealing a round of bright moon in the vast night sky, mottled, eight streets and nine streets are full of strings The music is loud, and the bustling scene is much higher than that of the capital.
Wen Chan originally wanted to go out to join in the fun, but if he went out, the three of them would definitely follow. After such a long journey, what they need now is to rest. In order not to let a few people get busy because of him, Wen Chan stood Looking out of the window, I witnessed the night scenery of Paradise City.
The night in Paradise City is the beginning of the carnival.
However, the exhausted group had already isolated those moving music and soft laughter from the dream, and fell into a deep sleep.
In the middle of the night, the excitement only increased, and people on the street were crowded with each other.
Feeling bored, Wen Chan closed the window, and the noise subsided a lot. He turned around and glanced at the sleeping calligraphy and paintings on the ground, and went downstairs to ask the shopkeeper for hot water, planning to wash and sleep too.
There were quite a few people sitting in the lobby downstairs, and several of them caught Wen Chan's gaze immediately.
Those people were all wearing black robes with yellow borders on the neckline and sleeves, and they were sitting at the same table. Among them was a beautiful girl with slender eyebrows and round eyes, and her black dress sleeves were lined with gold Silk, not only looks luxurious, but also very familiar.
Wen Chan suddenly remembered that the black-clothed man lying on the back of the old black cow was almost exactly the same as the girl in front of him, and they seemed to belong to the same group! It can be said that he met again!
Rolling up his sleeves, Wen Chan wanted to go up and say hello to a few people, but his eyes turned a few times in the lobby, but he couldn't find the handsome man. He was obviously not here. Wen Chan, who had just taken two steps forward, stopped again. Next, looked at the tall men sitting next to the girl, and thought, since that man is not there, let them go this time.
The main reason is that his people are all asleep. If there is a fight, wouldn't he be at a disadvantage if he fights three against one
Wen Chan silently put down his rolled up sleeves, walked around a few people to the shopkeeper, and asked for hot water. The shopkeeper asked him the name of the room and asked him to go up and wait. After the hot water was boiled, someone would bring it up.
The shopkeeper was very fast. It didn't take long for Wen Chan to return to the room, and hot water was delivered. He simply wiped his face and hands, washed his feet, took off his coat and went to bed to go to bed, but at this moment, he knocked on the door vigorously. The voice rang out.
He was startled at first, and then Shuhua, who was still sleeping soundly, sat up suddenly, first glanced at the bed, and after seeing Wen Chan, he got up to open the door, even if he was woken up, there was no expression of impatience on his face .
As soon as the door opened, Zhong Wenjin, holding a rice pillow, rushed in angrily, and said to the calligraphy and painting, "I'll change rooms with you!"
Calligraphy was startled, then turned to look at Wen Chan.
"You don't sleep in the middle of the night, what are you making a fuss about?" Xie Zhaoxue came after him, and Wen Chan noticed that both of them came out barefoot.
"Anyway, you think I'm noisy, and I don't want to share a room with you. Wouldn't it be a good idea to change rooms?" Zhong Wenjin snorted angrily and walked into the house, but Xie Zhaoxue grabbed his collar, "Don't disturb Master Wen's rest. "
Zhong Wenjin struggled, seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Wen Chan hurriedly stayed on the bed to persuade him, "Okay, just change the room, I sleep a lot in the carriage during the day, and I don't feel sleepy now, I am idle and bored " He said to Shuhua, "Shuhua, you go to sleep with Mr. Xie."
Calligraphy took the lead. After seeing the pillow in Zhong Wenjin's arms, he turned around and went to the floor, took his own pillow and went to Xie Zhaoxue's room.
Seeing Wen Chan standing up to speak, Xie Zhaoxue no longer objected, she glanced at Zhong Wenjin and let go of her hands, "It's up to you."
After they both left, Wen Chan closed the door, and as soon as he turned around, Zhong Wenjin had already put his pillows on the floor and lay down.
Because Zhong Wenjin had taken the two elixirs given by Liang Yanbei, he was still very energetic at this moment, and he didn't feel sleepy at all. He closed his eyes and rested his mind.
After a moment of silence in the room, Wen Chan suddenly said, "Zhong Wenjin, go back to the capital."
Zhong Wenjin opened his eyes in surprise by Wen Chan's sudden words, and looked at him in surprise, "Why do you want me to go back to the capital all of a sudden?"
"Mayue Island is mixed with fish and dragons. It's too dangerous. You have the Zhong family in the capital to protect you." Wen Chan knew that he died at the hands of the leader of Shengui Sect in his previous life. Although he is not at this age, the unknown is always dangerous , Wen Chan feels that his rebirth has changed a lot of things, and some things are not risky.
"What about you? Why are you staying on May Island?" Zhong Wenjin asked him in turn.
This question left Wen Chan speechless. As a prince, he himself stayed in May Island, so what position did he have to persuade Zhong Wenjin to leave? Are you going to tell him the truth that you will die here if you don't go
"You have to trust me." Wen Chan could only say this, "The capital city is the safest for you."
As long as it is within the sphere of influence of the Zhong family, no one can hurt Zhong Wenjin.
"Don't try to persuade me anymore, I won't listen." Zhong Wenjin expressed his stubbornness.
Wen Chan said that I would not give up, "You are here alone, how worried your parents should be, maybe the capital city has been turned upside down by now."
Hearing this, Zhong Wenjin got up without saying a word, and walked out the door with the rice pillow he was holding in his arms when he came, "Your Highness, we can't talk, so I'll take a step first."
"Hey—" Wen Chan didn't expect that he would hug the pillow and walk away if he disagreed with him, so he hurriedly got out of bed and chased after him, "Wait! I won't persuade you anymore, don't bother others in the middle of the night."
What if I knock on Liang Yanbei's door and disturb his rest.
Zhong Wenjin seemed to be just putting on a show, and when he heard Wen Chan's persuasion, he immediately turned around and lay back to sleep. Wen Chan had no choice but to think about persuading him next time.
There was a moment of silence in the room.
After a long time, just when Wen Chan thought he had fallen asleep, Zhong Wenjin was caught off guard and said in a low voice, "I came to May Island this time, half to escape for my life, and half to find Xie Zhaoxue."
"Escape?" Wen Chan came back to his senses and said in shock, "Someone killed you in the capital? Who is so bold?"
"My elder brother and my father." His voice was calm, without any emotion, as if he was stating a very ordinary thing.
"How is this possible?!" Wen Chan sat up in shock, didn't the Zhong family love Zhong Wenjin the most important son? How could he start to kill him
Zhong Wenjin's face was full of indifference, and his handsome eyebrows and eyes showed a little sadness. He sat up and opened his underwear with both hands, revealing his white jade-like chest. Gauze was still tied around his chest, which was obviously injured.
These days, ever since Zhong Wenjin was seen in the bandit's cage, he didn't seem to be injured at all. He was vigorously grabbing steamed buns, and even fought with the bandits with a big knife, just like a normal person.
However, after Zhong Wenjin removed the gauze, there was indeed a wound with black scabs on his heart, which was not big, and under the fair complexion, it looked hideous, and it could be seen at a glance that it was a sword wound. Apparently it's getting better.
Before Wen Chan could ask, he said, "This was stabbed by my elder brother. If I hadn't escaped quickly, it would be a corpse now."
"Why did your elder brother kill you?" Wen Chan couldn't figure it out, even if Zhong Wenjin and his brothers were at odds, they would not dare to attack Zhong Wenjin at this time, at least they would have to wait until the Zhong family rebelled...
"I don't know the reason, but he cut me down and called me an unfilial traitor. He killed all the guards around me. Later, I fled back home to find my father, but he also locked me up. In the end, my mother secretly let me out..."
Zhong Wenjin slowly wrapped up the gauze, put on his underwear again, and said with his head down, "No matter how much I question my father, he just keeps saying that I deserve to die. If my mother didn't let me out, I wouldn't be dead." To be in the hands of my elder brother is to die in the hands of my father, the capital is no longer my home... "
traitor
Wen Chan gasped, all the shock was covered, and his mind gradually became clear.
I'm afraid that Zhong Guoyi and his eldest son, like Wen Chan, were reborn with memories, so they wanted to kill Zhong Wenjin only after seeing him.
In the previous life, Zhong Wenjin fought against the entire Zhong family with one person, and Zhong Guoyi's three sons were all killed by him. For the Zhong family, it is not wrong to say that they are traitors.
Knowing what happened next, Zhong Guoyi wanted to act preemptively and kill his favorite son before rebelling.
Only after realizing that someone from the Zhong family was born again, Wen Chan suddenly felt terrified.
Originally thought that he had played a game of chess in his previous life, because he knew the opponent's next move, so he was always confident, but at this moment he realized that the person who played chess with him also knew the ending of the game of chess in his previous life.
So will the Zhong family go to the known ending
Wen Chan was the ultimate winner in the bloody battle in his previous life because Liang Yanbei was by his side and wanted to help him. Now Wen Chan is only himself, can he still win
Thinking of this, his heart hangs.
Just as he was thinking, a sound of inhalation pulled his consciousness back, when Wen Chan looked at Zhong Wenjin in a blink of an eye, he happened to see a tear drop falling from his drooping face, and couldn't bear it in his heart.
Now Zhong Wenjin doesn't know why his father who loved him in the past would kill him. Others thought he was running out to play, but they didn't know that he was also forced to flee for his life.
It is hard to imagine how much grievance and pain Zhong Wenjin has carried in his heart.
Zhong Wenjin is an upright man. In his previous life, he never dragged his feet when he marched and fought. Even if he was surrounded by the enemy and his body was covered with bruises, as long as he still had a breath, he could live resolutely, and he was never weak.
At this moment, Zhong Wenjin was still a teenager, and he was able to hide the pain from his relatives in his heart without revealing a single bit, which really made Wen Chan admire.
Zhong Wenjin wiped away the tears from his eyes, raised his head, his eyes were red, and begged Wen Chan slightly, "His Royal Highness, you must help me, Xie Zhaoxue has been asking me to go back to the capital for the past two days, and said that if I don't come back, I will go back to the capital." Knock me out and send me back, only you can open your mouth and help me stay..."
"Why don't you just tell him the truth?"
"What about the Zhong family, even if he knows about it? When I escaped from the capital, my mother returned to the Xie family. There should be no danger for the time being, so as long as I don't return to the capital, nothing will happen." Zhong Wenjin paused for a while, and then Said, "Besides, Zhong Wenting came to Wuyue Island, I'm afraid he will do something to Xie Zhaoxue..."
Wen Chan thought for a while before realizing that Zhong Wenting was Zhong Wenjin's eldest brother. He raised his eyebrows slightly, "He also came to May Island?"
"En—" he said, "The emperor sent Liang Yanbei and Xie Zhaoxue to Wuyue Island to investigate something about the religion, and Liang... was Liang Yanbei's cousin who came with him, but his cousin had something to do with it. It was delayed for two days, so Liang Yanbei and the others left first."
"Later I found out that Zhong Wenting was looking for his cousin, and the two of them got into the carriage out of the capital together. I met Ms. Qiao on the way to follow, so we came here together."
The cousin of Liang Yanbei mentioned by Zhong Wenjin should be Liang Shuhong. Originally, he was still wondering how Liang Yanbei and Xie Zhaoxue would appear on May Island, but now that he thinks about it, he was actually sent here by his father in an upright manner.
It seems that this conversion of God has also attracted the attention of the above.
"But I lost them after I went to the island." Zhong Wenjin said despondently.
"Forget it, don't think so much, I'll tell Xie Zhaoxue tomorrow to let you stay." Wen Chan sighed softly, sympathizing with Zhong Wenjin's experience, "As for your big brother, you don't need to worry."
Wen Chan's hanging heart finally let go a little bit.
Okay, okay, since you're here, don't even think about going back, don't worry about the rest, find a way to kill Zhong Wenting and break Zhong Guoyi's arm first.
After hearing Wen Chan's words, Zhong Wenjin felt much better. He sniffed and lay down. Just as he was about to close his eyes and go to sleep, there was a sudden loud noise from outside the porter's room.
Some people screamed, some people scolded their mothers loudly, it was not a joyous excitement.
The two people in the room looked at each other, eager to see the excitement, and opened the door back and forth without shoes on.
