from the crane

A butterfly quietly flew past in front of him, as if there was a guide, and then he saw Bai Shao standing not far away, he was carrying Jiang Yin on his back, coughing continuously, his waist gradually bent down, and Lan Shao who surrounded him The spirit butterfly fluttered its wings and refused to leave.

After coughing up a mouthful of blood, he stood up tremblingly and walked forward.

A discarded prince of the royal family...

Jiang Yin looked at his back, and suddenly thought of sister Zhaoge, how did she meet him?

The sky is getting late, the night sky is close to the ground, and it seems that you can catch the stars with your hand.

Jiang Yin stood in the courtyard and looked up at the night sky. Luo Shuang sat next to him and didn't speak. The street was very lively. A servant boy came forward to pass a message to Jiang Yin, saying that there would be a lighting festival tonight.

Jiang Yin and Luo Shuang went out together. The street was brightly lit and the crowd was noisy. They walked forward, but they came to a pool of water.

Clear lake water is rare in this vast desert, and there are fireflies around here, which decorate the scenery.

Luo Shuang suddenly called Jiang Yin softly, and Jiang Yin looked in the direction he pointed, and saw Bai Shao sitting by the lake, looking at his back as a desolate old man.

"His time is running out." Luo Shuang looked at his back and sneered, Jiang Yin looked at Bai Shao, but suddenly thought of a question, "How did you meet him, how much do you know about Sister Zhaoge and him?" ?”

"He and I are both guests, so we knew each other naturally. As for Yang Zhaoge..."

Luo Shuang pondered for a while, then said calmly, "Back then when we were passing through Jinzhou, we encountered a fire at Yang's house. We saw a girl crawling out of the wreckage, most of her hair was burnt, and she crawled out of the pile of dead people holding the scorched earth with her hands. Bai Shao felt that she was worth something, so he dragged her out of the rubble by her arm."

"What happened next?" Jiang Yin's fingertips felt cold when he heard that, and he survived in the sea of ​​fire. He felt miserable just listening to the description.

"Later she survived, and there was nothing valuable except the jade pendant on her body to show her identity. Yang Zhaoge begged him to avenge her, but he refused. Later, when Yang Zhaoge found her sister, Bai Shao changed his temper and uncharacteristically helped her." She takes revenge."

"Why? Could it be a discovery of conscience." Luo Shuang sneered when she heard this, and said back to the river, "He's just unbalanced, and he doesn't like others."

"You know his identity." Jiang Yin blinked at Luo Shuang, Luo Shuang was stunned, but still nodded, "It's just an abandoned son, he is now a powerful bow, and he can't cause too much trouble .”

He wanted to ask more questions, but Jiang Yin was attracted by a lame Taoist who was passing by humming an incoherent tune. When he saw Jiang Yin and the others, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Oh, how did this happen? This is not good." The Taoist had a long beard and a scar on his face. Jiang Yin looked at him strangely, but he kept shaking his head.

"I can't ask for it, I can't ask for it, I can't ask for what the nobleman wants."

Jiang Yin wanted to ask him what he was talking about, but Luo Shuang turned cold, and stepped forward to chase him away. The Taoist was still chattering, and said loudly, "Lan Yin Xu Guo, Huang Liang Yi Meng, different paths lead to different destinations in the end."

The Taoist went away, but Jiang Yin murmured what he just said, Luo Shuang asked him if he wanted to see the lanterns, Jiang Yin nodded, but his mind was full of the crazy Taoist's words.

After all, different paths lead to different destinations...

The night was too long, Jiang Yin looked at Luo Shuang's tall back and felt a little regretful.

No, he never regretted it, Jiang Yin clenched his lower lip, thinking, as long as he doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back, even if his head is broken and bloody, it is considered a sincere mistake.

The caravan went back home, Jiang Yin just returned to Changhuan when someone came to the door, Liu Yi'an hurriedly looked at him, and said anxiously, "Princess Wenxuan is missing!"

Jiang Yin almost spilled the tea in his hand when he heard this, he carefully put the teacup back on the table, and said seriously, "When did it happen?"

"Just yesterday, the guarding soldiers were all poisoned to death. Now that the princess has escaped, she will definitely threaten the emperor. What should I do?"

Liu Yi'an seemed a little anxious, Jiang Yin frowned and couldn't make up his mind, so he said in a low voice, "It's better to send someone to investigate quickly, this matter is not trivial."

"Exactly. I came here this time to ask for your help." Liu Yi'an stood up as he spoke, Jiang Yin almost hurriedly stopped him, but he still obstinately bowed, "The time for the Jiang family's allegiance has come."

Allegiance?

Jiang Yin looked down at Liu Yi'an, feeling that he was both familiar and unfamiliar. The Jiang family is struggling to get by now. Although it looks good on the surface, it is actually falling apart inside. The merchants under him don't listen to his orders, and the elder brother is trapped by his relatives.

There is only one second brother who is above the imperial court, but he has been in Yingzhou for a long time, and he can't speak out, and his loyalty is really a bit reluctant.

Father died on the battlefield, mother...

Jiang Yin didn't want to think about it any more, he lifted Liu Yi'an and breathed a sigh of relief, and said softly, "I will send someone to do it."

Liu Yi'an thanked him, and turned to chat with Jiang Yin relaxedly, Jiang Yin responded with a few words, a little absent-minded.

Liu Yi'an didn't notice it, and continued, "This year's spring banquet is still in Furong Garden, don't forget it."

"I can't forget it. You have to watch Hong'er closely when it's time. He's too young to drink alcohol."

"You really value Hong'er." Liu Yi'an looked at him with a smile, Jiang Yin curled her lips and said, "Hong'er is my nephew."

"You..." Liu Yi'an was stunned before he finished speaking. He saw a person walking into the room and whispering something into Jiang Yin's ear. Jiang Yin nodded and let him go out. When he left, Liu Yi'an couldn't wait. asked, "Why is he here?"

"Bless the gods." Jiang Yin twitched the corners of his mouth and continued, "I ran into him on the way west."

"It's really Amitabha. When he comes back, you can finally live in peace, and you don't have to lose your mind anymore."

"Maybe." Jiang Yin replied vaguely, "How is Fourth Sister these days?"

"She, she's been researching pastries for the past few days." Liu Yi'an's face darkened as he spoke, and he was a little speechless, "You also know her craftsmanship. It's obviously not delicious but you force others to eat it, and you don't allow others to say it. Not good, no wonder Hong'er runs to you twice every day."

The author has something to say: In fact, it is impossible for Jiang Yin and Luo Shuang to go back to eight years ago, and the conversation between the two of them now is often a bit boring

After asking and answering, Jiang Yin no longer told him interesting stories.

No matter how difficult it is to eliminate the estrangement, Luo Shuang doesn't understand this truth, and Jiang Yin tries to persuade herself to ignore the estrangement
