"I still know something about Shao Chongyou's past." Lin Yi heard the faint sound of clinking spatulas in the kitchen, and in the evening smoke rose from the houses, and the aroma of food wafted out.

Nie Yanli looked back at Shao Chongyou and Xiao Huan who were busy cooking calmly by the stove in the house, and said to Lin Yi, "Oh? Let's listen."

In the last life, Shao Chongyou followed Lin Yi for many years. The life in the North Camp was actually monotonous. He couldn't close his eyes when he was fighting, and he had to train when he was not fighting. People with good relationships would often drink and chat together for entertainment.

Both Lin Yi and Shao Chongyou are villains in the eyes of others, one is a gracious and bloodthirsty Marquis, and the other is a vicious and ruthless quack.

Since he is also a fallen person in Tianya, Lin Yi didn't deliberately inquire about Shao Chongyou's past. After getting acquainted with him, Shao Chongyou mentioned it to him a few times, and Lin Yi knew something about his past.

Lin Yi thought about it for a while, and said: "He is from the north. His family was originally in a border town and he was the only son. But his family was not close to him and treated him very badly."

"Since he is the only son, he should love him so much." Nie Yanli asked doubtfully, "How bad would it be to treat him?"

"He ran away from home when he was seven years old." Lin Yi said, "You have also seen his temper, he is extremely tenacious, and can force such a child to 'escape', I think... His family probably has no Don't abuse him."

Nie Yanli felt incredible: "There is such a thing..."

"After escaping, he wandered and wandered. By chance, he learned martial arts from a teacher. Coincidentally, he has extraordinary talents, and now he has the top ten Wanren sword in the Jianghu list."

Lin Yi recalled that when Shao Chongyou told him these things in the past, his expression was always indifferent. There was nothing terrible to him in this world, and there was nothing to care about.

Human life, wealth, world, none of them are in his eyes, and none of them are in his heart.

Lin Yi always felt that Shao Chongyou and Xiao Huan had some similarities, such as their indifference to everything in the world, or their indifference to right and wrong, good and evil.

As a great general of a country, Xiao Huan is also a member of the royal family, but he has no enthusiasm for Jiang Shanrong, Lin Yi can feel it.

And Shao Chongyou is so indifferent that he doesn't care much about his own life. He has many enemies in the Jianghu. Shao Chongyou will not let them kill him easily, but he is not greedy for life—his swordsmanship is even like this , cold and deadly, leaving no way out.

He always felt that Shao Chong was like a lone pine between heaven and earth, whose roots came from the earth, but in the wind, the green crown of the tree would turn into a speck of duckweed at any time, thick and ethereal, with no origin and nowhere to go.

"Then, there is some truth to the rumor that he wiped out his own family." Nie Yanli remembered that Shao Chongyou had been condemned and hunted down by various sects.

But he shook his head again, "It's still not right. With his ability, if he wants to take revenge, he doesn't have to wait until now. He doesn't look like someone who would hold a grudge from childhood because of being abused, and still plan to practice martial arts for revenge. The extermination of the family should be just a rumor. "

Lin Yi thought so too, after all, Shao Chongyou did not bear this rumor in his previous life.Or maybe he was ordered by Xiao Fang to follow him closely at that time, so he didn't have the chance to leave to do the thing of destroying the family.

"How could he follow Jingyang King Xiao Fang's order to approach you?" Nie Yanli said, "Xiao Fang has the ability to drive him to do things for him."

"The old woman brought back this time is probably related to this." Lin Yi said, "As for the details, I haven't asked him yet."

"Bring me out of death row, how will I explain to the court?" Shao Chong Youdui boiled a bowl of sauce, closed the lid, and went to the side to cut the white and tender mushrooms into slices that were neither thin nor thick.

Xiao Huan mixed the red bean, honey, and brown sugar pastry and steamed it. He turned his head to look at the vine trellis not far from the door. Lin Yi was stretched out on the wicker chair, with two slender legs folded together. A red dress is better than the sunset.

"Naturally, I told His Majesty that you are much missed by others in the death row. It is better to be interrogated separately and locked up in another place secretly." Xiao Huan said, "Your Majesty agreed, but as for what to do, I didn't ask any further."

Emperor Yongguang acted decisively, Lin Yi was not in the court, and Xiao Huan would not interfere if the matter was handed over to Xiao Huan. It should be "secret detention" and no one would know about it. Just bring people back during the trial.

Shao Chong still followed Xiao Huan's gaze. Nie Yanli was next to Lin Yi, sitting lazily and languidly, with a handsome appearance, always smiling, and eye-catching wherever he went.

Xiao Huan washed his hands, picked up a clean handkerchief and wiped it, said: "Nie Yanli can't sit still, it's not easy for him to stay in this town for so long."

Shao Chongyou smiled lightly. These days, Nie Yanli was first interested in his swordsmanship, and the two of them are top masters in the world, so they are very different when they compare each other.After a few days, the freshness of the sword competition wore off, and he was dragged to drink and gamble again.

With such a person by my side, I have never been bored.

Just one thing, Nie Yanli drank too casually, she always drank to her heart's content, so she got drunk at every turn.

This person is also interesting when he is drunk, he keeps talking sweet words when he is slightly drunk, and the names he calls from "Chunqing" to "Yuzhi" are not the same once, and he praises each other in different ways, which shows that he is very fond of Hongyanxiang. Ruan has always had an excellent demeanor, caring and considerate.

If he is very drunk and doesn't mess around, he just sleeps in a comfortable position and doesn't defend himself against Shao Chongyou, as if he knows that even if he sleeps in the yard, he will be taken back to the house to take care of him.

It's really a temper that was born in a wealthy township and is used to being served.

"Did Xiao Fang come here?" Shao Chongyou asked, "I'm afraid he won't be relieved if he doesn't see my body."

"Since he wants to meet, just make him a corpse." Xiao Huan said.

Shao Chongyou nodded, knowing that they must have bluffed Xiao Fang.

"It smells so good, can I eat it?" Lin Yi jumped up, walked to the kitchen door and rubbed his hands, and Nie Yanli and Nie Yanli were eager to see through

"Okay. There's wine in the courtyard, choose what you want to drink." Xiao Huan patted his waist with a soft tone.

In the rural house away from the hustle and bustle, the evening breeze is pleasant, and the flowing water flows by. The four of them are having dinner at the table in the courtyard.

Lin Yi and Nie Yanli came back with the wine, and all the food and snacks were on the table. A steamed sea bass was well cooked, and the sauce smelled just right.Vegetarian dishes and small stir-fries are also fresh and shiny.

"It's a blessing." Nie Yanli's eyes lit up.

Lin Yi knew Shao Chongyou's culinary skills a long time ago, and he was pleasantly surprised but not surprised, but when he saw Xiao Huan's dim sum, he couldn't help but feel complicated.

Red bean honey brown sugar, knuckle-sized taro purple snacks, it looks sweet and delicious, it is Lin Yi's favorite Jiangnan dessert.

"You know how to do this?" Lin Yi carefully picked up a piece and put it in his mouth reluctantly.

"Don't you like it?" Xiao Huan raised his chin towards him, "Try it."

"It's better than the ones in Jiangling City." Lin Yi took a bite, and the sandy dessert melted on his tongue.

Lin Yi picked up an altar of aged wine and opened the altar.

The four of them chatted over the delicacies, and among the top ten in Jianghu swordsmanship, the owners of the four swords Zui Yi, Wan Ren, Yin Chun, and Ye Guang gathered together.

There is a breeze in the evening, and in the quiet and remote villages and towns, there is no storm in the rivers and lakes, no battles in the temples, only birds returning to the forest, fish swimming in the water.

"Is there anything you can't think about, that you insist on getting involved in your scramble?" Nie Yanli shook her head, "Forget it, I let go of the family business, and I can't persuade you to ignore the great cause of the family and the country."

"There is nothing wrong with you like this." Lin Yi smiled, he knew that Nie Yanli was not an irresponsible person, and he would do what he should do, including this time Shao Chongyou left the death row.

"Will there be another fight in Beijiang this year?" Shao Chong asked Xiao Huan after taking a sip of his wine.

Xiao Huan looked at him meaningfully, nodded and said, "This year, that's right. Next year or the year after, there will definitely be another battle."

Shao Chong still looked at Lin Yi: "Xiao Fang originally planned to ask me to go to Peking University to find you and stay under your command."

"Then we can fight side by side." Lin Yi no longer minds that Shao Chongyou had been lurking by his side for many years in his previous life. He knew that in the end, Shao Chongyou might not have regarded himself as a friend.

"I don't regret it either. Let's go together next time the war starts. We can have a drink like today after defeating the enemy." Nie Yanli didn't care about other things. Being able to get together and drink together like this is more important than anything else.

Shao Chong still smiled when he heard this.

Xiao Huan said with a smile: "It's rare that you volunteered to go to the frontier of the military camp. It's not too difficult."

"Such a good friendship, the young master will definitely take good care of it, and there will be no hardship." Nie Yanli said leisurely.

"Everyone endures hardship together, so it won't be hard." Lin Yi joked.

Lin Yi asked Shao Chongyou casually: "Why did Xiao Fang change his mind again?"

Shao Chongyou said: "Because I destroyed the Shao family."

Speaking of destroying his own family, his expression didn't fluctuate, he didn't care at all.When it comes to his family, he is called "Shao", which seems to have no kinship with him.

Nie Yanli asked in surprise, "Is the rumor true?"

Shao Chong still looked at him, and then lowered his head to look at the wine in the glass: "The rumors about me are basically true, and it's true that those things were done by me."

"The fact is one thing, and how to tell it is another thing. Telling it in different ways can make a big difference." Lin Yi said.

Shao Chongyou was a little surprised that Lin Yi would speak for him, thought for a moment, and said, "That's true."

"The Shao family treats you..."

Nie Yanli wanted to ask him if he was allowed to do this because of his family's abuse in the past, but he felt that it was a private matter and he shouldn't ask too much.

He hesitated to speak, but Shao Chongyou spoke bluntly, saying: "I was in the Shao family before I was seven years old. I didn't have a father. My mother and other people in the family didn't treat me well. The most humble servant in the family received less beatings than me. Some."

Nie Yanli was very shocked when she heard this. It is not uncommon for a child to be abused, but a good son lives worse than a servant. What is the reason for this?

"I left when I was seven years old, so I was lucky." Shao Chongyou said, "But some people are not so lucky, and their entire life is probably ruined by the Shao family."

"Who?" Lin Yi asked puzzled.
