"Knock knock—"

"Qingya, go open the door!" Shuwu sat at the table, staring intently at a azure teacup slightly raised in his hand, and the flickering candlelight constantly changed the light and shadow projected on him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info The main room standing next to him with his head bowed down Li heard Xianggong's command, so he gently walked over and opened the door.

The door creaked open, and in the door was a bearded man with a rough face, with a finger-thick hemp rope tied around his waist, and a dagger hanging from the rope.

Seeing that it was a woman who opened the door, the strong man's face was obviously not very good. Li Qingya was also taken aback, but she has always been accustomed to rules, even if she was frightened, her demeanor was not rude, but her complexion changed slightly.

Shuwu heard that there was no movement at the door, so he turned his head to look, and when he saw the person at the door, his eyes flashed, and he said to Li Shi in a gentle tone, "Qingya, you go out first!" ”

Li nodded and walked past the strong man. The strong man strode in and slammed the door shut.

"Master Shu, Baimian is dead!" The strong man closed the door and turned around to look at Shuwu with a solemn expression.

"What's going on?" Shuwu got up from the stool with a brush, and as soon as his hand was released, the porcelain cup in his hand fell to the ground and fell into three petals.

"The old man asked Baimian to tie up Miss Shu and hand it to me, but I didn't come back until midnight, and I was so worried that I ran to the Sunset Pavilion to take a look, and I found Baimian's body in the woods next to the Sunset Pavilion!" The strong man's voice became a little sharp, "Master Shu, I know this brother of mine, his disguise and martial arts are well-known in the rivers and lakes, how could he be killed by a sword without resistance?" ”

"Kill with a sword?" Shuwu staggered and took two steps back.

The strong man looked at Shuwu's expression and asked suspiciously, "Master Shu, tell me honestly, did your Shufu offend some major sect on the rivers and lakes?" Although our brothers are greedy for money, they don't want to be enemies of the big factions on the rivers and lakes because of money! ”

Shuwu's face was slightly pale, and he smiled calmly, "Brother Wan, you are serious, how can my Shufu get into trouble with the Great Gate Sect?" It's just that my sister is disobedient and her father wants to scare her! Shuwu knows that Big Brother Wan and Big Brother Bai are sworn brothers, and now that Big Brother Bai has died tragically, we naturally want to find the murderer for him, and Big Brother Wan can go home and wait with confidence! ”

Wan Li's face immediately turned red when he heard this, "What is this young master, Baimian is my sworn brother, and now that he has died tragically, how can I, the eldest brother, not avenge him!" Say, what do you need me to do? ”

"Good! With Brother Wan's words, I am much more relieved! Go back, and I'll let you know when I make new discoveries! Shuwu happily patted Wanli's shoulder and said.

Looking at the figure of Wanli leaving, Shuwu's eyes flashed with disdain. This Wanli is a simple-minded martial artist, he doesn't know that his brother is hiding from him and working for them, and he thinks that he and his brother are just taking money to do things, and they are the guards hired by their library! But that's fine, since Baimian is dead, he doesn't have to think about how to fool this simple-minded martial artist.

Shuwu opened the door and walked towards the study, looking at the flickering lights in the study, Shuwu frowned and asked the guard who was keeping vigil next to him, "Hasn't the master rested yet?" ”

"I just asked the little one to get a basin of cold water, it shouldn't be that he hasn't rested yet!" The guard looked at Shuwu and asked, "Does the eldest young master need a small report?" ”

Shuwu nodded. The guard pushed open the door and walked in, and soon came out and said, "Master, please come in!" ”

Shuwu straightened his clothes and walked through the half-door that the guards had already pushed open.

"What's the matter with you looking for me so late?" There was a map on Shuming's desk, and he didn't raise his head when he saw Shuwu come in.

Shuwu's eyes flashed, and he said in a low voice, "Father, Baimian is dead, and the little sister was rescued, and ......"

Shuming paused with the pen in his hand, and after a long time asked, "And what?" ”

“…… The second uncle is also gone! Shuwu lowered his head. This incident actually happened in the morning, but he didn't dare to tell his father when he saw that he was worried, and now he said it together, which must have hit his father a lot!

Shuming was stunned for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed a few times.

"Father!" Shuwu looked at Shuming worriedly. Shuming suddenly looked at Shuwu lovingly and said, "Among my father's children, you are the most like your father, my father originally wanted to find a good future for you, but now it seems that you are blessed!" ”

"Father, the child doesn't understand!" Shu Wu looked at Shu Ming suspiciously. Shuming sighed, "I don't understand, it's okay." Because you don't know that your father is making a big gamble from the beginning, and if you win, you have everything, and if you lose, you lose! Father's bargaining chips are your little sister Shuli and your second uncle. You've always wondered how a father could be so ruthless in using his daughter, come, come and sit down, father tells you! Shuwu beckoned to Shuwu, although Shuwu was apprehensive, but he had never seen his father so frustrated and soft, so he walked over and sat on the stool.

Shuming also sat down beside him, sighed again and said, "Things have to start from more than ten years ago, at that time, I was still the prime minister of the dynasty with infinite scenery, and your aunt was still a concubine who assisted the queen in handling harem affairs. There are unforeseen circumstances, and on that day, Concubine Li entered the palace and took away all the favor of your aunt and other women in the harem. Your aunt was tired of the emperor, and the emperor began to read the Prime Minister's Mansion unpleasantly. I don't know why Concubine Li died inexplicably in your aunt's palace, the emperor really hated your aunt, he ordered your aunt to be killed that night, but was stopped by the queen mother who rushed over, and simply your aunt was angry and pregnant, this child saved her life! But the queen mother told your aunt that the emperor only has a prince under his knees, and if she can give birth to a prince, this fate will be preserved for a long time! ”

Shuwu frowned and said, "It seems that the Queen Mother and her old man are also wrong, and the emperor still hates His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in the end." ”

Shuming shook his head and said slowly, "Wrong, wrong!" ”

Shuwu asked puzzledly, "What does my father mean by this?" ”

"Back then, your mother went to the palace to visit your aunt, and your aunt was already emaciated and unhuman, but fortunately, the body was there, and the fetus was still healthy. That night your mother and your aunt gave birth together, and your aunt gave birth to a girl, and your mother ......"

"Wait, father, are you saying the opposite?" Shuwu stood up from the stool and looked at Shuming in horror. Shuming waved his hand at him and motioned for him to sit down, and sighed, "How could I be wrong, I still remember the events of that year vividly." Back then, in order to keep the concubine, but also to keep the book, your mother changed the identities of the two children, your second uncle's good friend Yun'er happened to see this, and was extremely scared, and when she returned to the house, she had to pull your second uncle to elope, and was caught by us, between pulling, she accidentally hit her head on the pillar, and she died on the spot, your second uncle couldn't stand it, and immediately went crazy! ”

"This is the truth about the second uncle's madness?" Shuwu asked. Shuming nodded and continued, "Later, I was afraid that Li'er's identity would be revealed, and then the whole of our book house would be headed, so I tried to let my student, Prime Minister Shen Cheng, who has now resigned, expose my corruption." ”

"It turns out that my father's embezzlement is for Mingzhe's life!" Shuwu's eyes flashed. Shuming sighed, "Pifu is innocent, not to mention that I stole the pearl of someone's palm!" ”

"In this way, the little sister is the princess! Then today's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is...... My little brother! Shuwu's eyes burst out with a strange light.

"That's what I said, but my single-mindedness back then killed Concubine Shu, and it also caused Chen'er's child to suffer cold eyes since he was a child, he must have hated me enough!" Shuming sighed. Shuwu lowered his head and didn't speak, his father was right, this is a mistake!

Shuming suddenly raised his head and grabbed Shuwu's hand and said excitedly, "Wu'er, you leave now, now that I have no bargaining chips to contain the prince, he will inevitably take revenge on me, you leave now, take your younger brothers, and go as far as possible!" ”

"No, father, how could I leave you behind?" Shu Wu grabbed Shu Ming's hand and shook his head. Shuming's eyes suddenly froze, and he shouted indoors, "Wanli, take him away!" ”

A thick man came out from behind the screen, it was Wan Li who had just been asked back by Shuwu. Shuwu stared at Wan Li's eyes flashed, he thought that Wan Li was just a simple-minded martial artist, a fool he flickered from the rivers and lakes, but he didn't expect that he was already his father's person!

"Father, no, the child is not leaving!" Shuwu struggled, but Wan Li was that kind of brute force, how could he break free? In this way, Shuwu was dragged away by thousands of miles and half dragged away.

Late at night, Shuming stretched his hand out of the window to feel the wet air outside, and shouted, "Come on, prepare the horse!" ”

"Yun Gongzi, the spies from the palace have come to report, just now Shuming has set off!" Xia Er knocked on the door.

Yun Mo looked at the person around him who was already breathing evenly, stood up and gently dropped a kiss on her forehead, and got out of bed and walked out of the room lightly.

Outside the door, Xia Er was dressed in black, the sword in her hand was held in front of her chest, and the cold on her face was as cold as moonlight.

"What about Shuming's sons?" Yun Mo asked.

"Except for Shuwu, the others are still in Shufu!" Xia Er replied succinctly.

"Heh~ It seems that Shuwu really likes this son, and he even thought about leaving a way for him at the last moment! Although this Shuwu has never killed anyone, he is too similar to Shuming, and now he has been blinded by his father's bastard words, so he has to guard against it! In this way, no matter how good he speaks, seeing is believing! You send someone to arrest Shuwu and send him to the imperial capital, so that he can open his eyes and take a good look at the truth of what happened back then! Yun Mo's words were very light, but his words seemed to contain endless strength. Xia Er lowered his head to accept the order, thinking to himself, this book is true, when he is dying, he even wants to leave someone to avenge himself, this idea is not wrong, but he hit his mind on the head of the blackened master, and distorted all his own ambition and greed into a last resort, this Yun Gongzi is very unbearable! He grew up with his master since he was a child, and he felt the cold eyes and contempt that his master had suffered since he was a child, and now this treacherous and cunning Shuming is still unafraid of death to reveal his master's scars, and he still uses such a aggrieved posture, isn't this his own death?

In the mountains and forests, Shuwu and Wanli shuttled between the mountains and forests with one person and one horse, Shuwu suddenly grabbed the reins and turned the horse's head, Wanli heard that the voice behind him was wrong, and immediately turned the horse's head and chased up, shouting loudly while chasing, "Young Master, stop quickly!" ”

Shuwu ignored it, and flicked the whip faster. The horses were throbbing and running even more frantically. Suddenly, a rope was pulled up from the pile of fallen leaves in front of them, which happened to trip the hooves of the two horses sitting down, and the horses neighed and fell to the ground, throwing the two men on their backs hard.

After Wanli was thrown out, he hit the tree directly, vomiting blood, looking at the wave of black-clothed ghost-faced people falling from the sky in front of him, he couldn't do anything at all, his eyes widened, pointing at those ghost-faced people and opening his mouth, he wanted to say something, but before he could say anything, he was killed by one of them!

And Shuwu is very lucky! After his body flew out, he was caught by Xia Er. Xia Er didn't wear a mask, but she changed her appearance, and her face was a delicate face at this time, except for the slight condensation of frost on her face giving people a feeling of rejecting people from thousands of miles away, she couldn't find anything that could be called a characteristic.

Xia Er put down Shuwu and clicked on his acupoint. Shuwu stiffened and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"The one who will show you the truth!" Xia Er whistled, and a few horses rushed over in the distance, and when they were about to arrive, they hurriedly slowed down, and walked slowly and gracefully and leisurely in front of Xia Er, and bowed their heads meekly. The ice on Xia Er's face melted suddenly, her eyebrows and eyes were bent, and there was a smile in her eyes, she reached out and gently touched the horse's head, and scolded with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are becoming more and more pampered!" Let's go! ”

Just as Shuwu was looking at Xia Er's smiling face, he suddenly felt that the heavens and the earth were spinning, and there was a dull pain in his abdomen, it turned out that he was carried by Xia Er and thrown on horseback!

"Drive, drive, drive......"

The sound of galloping horses' hooves startled the resting birds in the forest, and the whole forest was bustling with activity!

The next day, the morning light was faintly visible, and the sleepy-eyed book glass had been packed and stuffed into the carriage by Yun Mo. Shuli lifted the curtain and looked at the skylight outside, put his hands into his sleeves, hung his head and continued to sleep. Yun Mo looked at her look like she would never wake up if I didn't sleep full, and immediately smiled dumbly, just let her sleep, anyway, it will take a long time to go to the imperial capital. By the way, Shu'er is still sick, it is better for him to repair a book so that the Shuming fox who rushed to the imperial capital will not see the emperor first, so that they can be dragged back leisurely! Speaking of such a big scene, how could they miss it?

Yun Mo was in a happy mood here while admiring the flowers and grass and beauties, and by the way, he was faintly looking forward to Shuming's extraordinary performance. And Shuming, who was on the road cautiously and anxiously, didn't know that he had long since lost his threat, but was just a pawn waiting to be laughed at!
