Chapter 578: Guards of the Capital
Just now, he secretly fought with the young man, and he could see that the man's strength was not below him. When he probed the aura, he was also a little shocked in his heart, it was impossible for such a master to be unknown in Dongwu.
If it's a rookie from another region, he should also hear some rumors.
The more Xu An thought about it, the more confused he became, and a terrible thought suddenly flashed into his mindβunless that person was from the imperial court.
Xu Anxin's uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and at the same time, the light in his eyes skyrocketed!
The reason for the uneasiness is that he was a person under the main sect of Zhu Xiang before, and he has a heartfelt dislike for the imperial court, although he has now broken away from the Peony Sect, Xu An does not want to have too much contact with the people of the imperial court.
But at the same time, it also meant that they could break away from Soochow with the help of the imperial court.
If the power of the imperial court intervenes here, then things will go much smoother.
Xu An walked as he thought about his next plan.
There were many things floating in his mind, his brother Xu Ping, the lord of the vermilion incense of the imperial court, and the tragic memories of his childhood......
Xu An finally made up his mind. He turned back and made his way to the east of the city.
Kyocaka. Nguyen House.
Ruan Tao's body has recovered, but that assassination undoubtedly made him more cautious, and he was also a lot more distant from Chef Liu.
But he couldn't bear to kick her out, because he still had a thought in his heart, Chef Liu was Wenlin!
The assassin originally wanted to assassinate Chef Liu, but by mistake Ruan Tao blocked the knife, which further confirmed that the Liu family had a relationship with the Peony Sect.
As soon as Ruan Tao recovered from his serious illness, the emperor ordered him to still recuperate in the palace and not to go to the court.
Ruan Tao was happy, and he took a walk in the courtyard after dinner that day, but saw Chef Liu standing not far away, looking at him from time to time.
Ruan Tao felt strange in his heart, and wanted to go over to inquire but had a bad heart, so he pretended to sit in the gazebo and drink tea.
Chef Liu saw that Ruan Tao was scattered for a while and didn't go back, but sat at the tuyere and blew the wind, and her heart became even more anxious.
Since Ruan Tao's assassination, to be precise, she was assassinated because of protecting her, and she felt guilty in her heart and made up her mind to confess her identity to Ruan Tao.
However, Ruan Tao's guards Weilan and the three have always been inseparable from Ruan Tao, because after seeing the assassination of Liu Chuniang by the assassin that day, although they did not truthfully inform the emperor of the truth about Ruan Tao's assassination, they were very wary of her in their hearts, and they did not let her have the opportunity to talk to Ruan Tao alone.
Chef Liu hesitated for a moment, whether the guilt in her heart was over the embarrassment, and she walked towards the pavilion.
"Sir, it's still cool in the spring. You have just recovered from a serious illness, how can you run to this tuyere to blow the wind? It's not good if you get cold. Chef Liu blessed Ruan Tao with a blessing.
She spoke slightly louder than usual, because she knew that Azure was hiding near Ruan Tao.
Ruan Tao had a moment of strangeness on his face, and he secretly thought: "It's not because of you that I'm sitting here blowing the wind. β
He coughed and said calmly: "The weather is good today, and you can see the goldfish and rockeries in the pond in the distance here, which is very interesting." β
Chef Liu's face was sneering: "The master is really interested." The maid has something to tell the master, and please don't think the maid is noisy. β
Ruan Tao's heart jumped, and he suddenly felt that the truth and himself were separated by a wall.
Chef Liu slowly walked to the railing and looked at the pond that Ruan Tao said, but there were no goldfish in it.
"When I first woke up, it was the Peony Sect who saved me. They told me I couldn't remember anything I had because I had fallen into the water. I only vaguely remember that I had a husband and a daughter. But they told me that my husband was arrested by the imperial court to dig a river and died of exhaustion, and my daughter was taken by the officers and soldiers on the way to Beijing with me, and was robbed as a concubine, and was tortured to death within a few days. β
Chef Liu said this, but this time she didn't feel any sadness in her heart, at this time she was immersed in memories and couldn't feel her abnormality.
"They also told me that it was you and the emperor who came up with the method of digging the river that killed my husband. Therefore, I was arranged to come to Ruan's Mansion to go undercover and take the opportunity to kill you. β
Chef Liu's voice trembled a little, and she remembered the ruthlessness of the Peony Sect assassins that day.
If it weren't for Ruan Tao, she might have been lying on the ground at this moment.
"When I first came to Fuzhong, I did keep in touch with the people of the Peony Sect. At that time, I hated you so much that I wished I had poisoned your food. But the people of the Peony Sect told me not to act rashly first.
Then one day, the news that they were hiding in the vegetables was snatched away, and I cut off contact with them, and I always thought that they had forgotten about me, until the last time the assassin appeared, I learned that they were afraid of revealing secrets, so they gave up my pawn and wanted to kill me. β
Chef Liu shuddered: "I'm sorry for the master's love, let the master deal with it." β
After saying that, he knelt down on his knees.
Ruan Tao: "......"
He sighed and stepped forward to help Chef Liu up.
"You have a husband and a daughter, your husband is not dead, he is alive and well. Your daughter is fine, even though she's not with you right now. β
Ruan Tao has already determined that Chef Liu is Wenlin.
It's just that she came to this world alone at that time, and was rescued by the Peony Sect without any relatives, and the Peony Sect somehow made her lose most of her important memories and become a pawn for them.
Maybe this is fate, even in another world, their family is finally reunited.
Ruan Tao breathed a long sigh of relief, and the depression that had been pressed in his heart for a long time was swept away.
Chef Liu didn't know what Ruan Tao was referring to, and was about to ask, Ruan Tao told her in detail about the previous incident of scanning the code between himself and Ruan Di, which deliberately emphasized the many similarities between Liu and Wenlin, as well as the coincidence of traveling through time.
But Chef Liu has lost her memory, she has been here for too long, and she has no impression of the "21st century" described by Ruan Tao, but she has no sense of strangeness. Therefore, one can only be skeptical.
Ruan Tao saw the puzzled look on Liu's face, and knew in her heart that she couldn't understand it for a while, although she was a little disappointed, she still comforted herself that these things could not be rushed. It's a lot of relief.
The misunderstanding was resolved, the two talked happily, and Ruan Tao was also concerned about recovering Chef Liu's memory.
Changan.
The twilight was heavy, and a crescent moon was already hanging in the air. There are no lights on the streets of the city. Since the gang of thieves washed the city in blood a month ago, the city has lost its former prosperity, and the people are still afraid that the murderer will suddenly return, and they dare not return to live in the city.
The city was still empty, and the wind blew the lanterns hanging from the city gates, and a few wisps of light dangled from there.
