Purple Swallow Returns
Chapter 3 Escape
If you don't like me, why don't we go back to the house and talk about it slowly. "
Although his words were gentle, but with a magic power that the other party could not refuse, Xiao Ran followed him back to his bedroom unknowingly.
Xiaoyue obediently offered fragrant tea to the two of them, and then stood aside.
Yun Ruojing said, "Little brother, tell me about your brother's general appearance, so that we can find someone for you."
Xiao Ran thought for a while before saying, "I just remember my mother said that my brother and I are twins, we look exactly the same, when we were young, no one could tell us apart except my parents."
"And then what?"
"Then one year, my parents passed by Lingzhou and were attacked by a group of masked men. My father tied my elder brother to a peach tree and came back to help my mother deal with the robbers. In the Taolin, I found that my brother was missing."
After a pause, Xiao Ran said, "Over the years, as I grew up, my father and mother missed my elder brother whom I had never met more and more. They hoped that a miracle would happen, that my elder brother who had been separated since childhood would be able I met a good family and was taken in, so with a glimmer of hope, they asked me to come to Lingzhou City to investigate, hoping to find the slightest clue about my brother."
He casually picked up the teacup, drank it lightly, and said, "However, after so many years, I don't know whether my brother is alive or dead, and I'm really not sure whether I can find out his whereabouts."
Yun Ruojing's heart sank, and she comforted her, "I'll arrange someone to help you find out. You don't need to worry, just stay in the yard first."
Xiao Ran shyly said, "Then thank the owner for his kindness."
Yun Ruojing said suddenly, "I arranged for the little brother who came with you to live next door to me. If you are worried, you can go and see him."
Xiao Ran was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered that it must be the boy in civilian clothes, so he couldn't help but smile and nodded.

Xiao Ran walked into the room, the boy in civilian clothes was lying on the bed, silently looking at the roof.
He couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "How are you doing?"
The young man said gratefully, "The owner of the village just healed my wounds, and I'm much better now."
Then he said sadly, "It never occurred to me that compared with the master, my skill is as high as the sky and as low as the ground. It really makes me depressed."
Xiao Ran said, "You are still young and have plenty of time, by the way, little brother, your surname is Xiao Ran."
The young man said, "My name is Lin Buyi. I was adopted by my master since I was a child. This time I finally got out of the master's school. Unexpectedly..."
Xiao Ran patted him lightly on the shoulder, and comforted him, "It's not that you are too weak, but the opponent is too strong. Didn't you listen to Master Yun, that man in Tsing Yi is one of the protectors of the Mingyue Sect."
Lin Buyi couldn't help smiling when he heard that, and said, "Brother Xiao, I know you're trying to make me happy."
Xiao Ran said, "You have a chivalrous heart at such a young age, this really deserves Xiao's admiration."
Lin Buyi looked at Xiao Ran and said, "Brother Xiao is not the same."
The two looked at each other and smiled. At this moment, a waiter came in with a medicine bowl. Xiao Ran took the medicine bowl from his hand and said, "It's fine if I'm here." Then he sat by the bed and handed the medicine bowl to him. Give it to Lin Buyi, Lin Buyi closed his eyes, drank it in one gulp, closed his mouth for a while before saying, "It's so bitter."
Afterwards, he sat upright on the bed with his legs crossed, silently practiced the profound arts, and gradually settled down like an old monk.
Xiao Ran knew that he was using his internal energy to transform the medicine, so he stood aside, silently, looking at the room.
Compared with my own room, the furnishings of the room are much simpler, just a bed, a table, and two chairs. I don't know what it feels like in my heart. Thinking of what Xiaoyue said, you are a distinguished guest of the owner, I can't help but smile secretly.
After a while, Lin Buyi finished his exercise, slowly opened his eyes, saw Xiao Ran, and couldn't help saying, "Brother Xiao, you haven't left yet."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, exchanged pleasantries with Lin Buyi, picked up the medicine bowl on the table, and left.
As he walked, he looked at the surrounding terrain and kept these silently in his heart. Before he knew it, he had left Liuxiang Garden and came to an open courtyard. Suddenly someone said, "Hey, what are you?" Man, how come I've never seen you?"
He couldn't help tightening his heart, and then he turned around, and saw a man in white looking at him suspiciously, and said quickly, "I was invited by the owner of the village as a guest. My friend was injured. I just gave him the medicine. Now I’m here to return the medicine bowl.”
The man in white was about forty, with a pair of shining eyes, he stared closely at Xiao Ran, "Your Excellency is very familiar, but why didn't I hear that there is a guest invited by the owner today."
Xiao Ran hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "I, Xiao Ran, ran into the owner of the villa on the street..."
The man interrupted him, and said to himself, "No wonder you look familiar, so you look exactly like Yun Xiaoran."
Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry about it just now. I was just making a routine inquiry. I'm Zhang Tianyi, the head manager of Liuyun Village. Since you are the owner's guest, I don't need you to take this medicine bowl back to the pharmacy yourself. give it to me."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran had no choice but to hand the bowl to him, move his feet, and return to Liuxiang Garden.
He wondered in his heart that Zhang Tianyi was quite wary of him at the beginning, but later when he said his name, he became much more friendly, saying that he was exactly the same as Yun Xiaoran, what was the reason for this.
Could it be that the people in Liuyunzhuang have a good impression of the person named Yun Xiaoran, because they love Wu and Wu.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ran threw away these thoughts, and then saw the picture of a beauty under the moon on the wall, so he walked to the picture and admired it carefully.The painter's brushwork is exquisite. In the painting, the young man is dressed in purple and is sitting under a weeping willow. The moon and stars are rare in the sky. The young man is looking up at the bright moon with longing.
Xiao Ran was fascinated by it.
Someone beside him whispered, "What do you think of this painting?" Xiao Ran was startled suddenly, and when he looked up, he met the other's pair of autumn eyes, couldn't help but smiled brightly, and said, "The brushwork is good, the characters are lifelike, I don’t know that the young man in this painting is a close friend of the owner.”
Yun Ruojing sighed, "He is my little brother Yun Xiaoran."
Xiao Ran said, "It turns out to be your junior brother. From the picture, he is definitely a stunning figure."
Complimented quietly.
Yun Ruojing sighed, "He is indeed a peerless beauty in the world, but unfortunately he passed away three years ago."
Xiao Ran bowed his head in silence for a moment, then said softly, "I'm sorry, I mentioned your sadness."
Yun Ruojing shook her head, and said, "Actually, you look exactly like him. My junior brother was also picked up from under the peach tree by my master back then."
Xiao Ran's complexion changed drastically when he heard the words, "What, you said your junior brother..."
That's right, Yun Ruojing stared at him, and said calmly, "My junior brother looks similar to you, and was also picked up from the peach forest by the master when he was young, so I will connect what you said with him, maybe, it is possible... "
No, Xiao Ran shouted, "I don't believe it, it is said that twins are connected to each other, but why doesn't my heart hurt at all?"
Yun Ruojing put her hand on his shoulder lightly, with a trace of comfort in her eyes, she said softly, "This is just my guess, I will do my best."
Like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, Xiao Ran hastily said, "Then the owner will have to worry about it."
Yun Ruojing frowned, and said, "I'm only a few years older than you, why don't you call me big brother, the word owner is too confusing."
Xiao Ran was stunned, and tentatively said, "This is not good."
Yun Ruojing said, "You and I are like old friends when we first met, and you are also like my junior brother. I have already regarded you as my own in my heart, so what's wrong."
Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, finally settled down, and said softly, "Brother."
Yun Ruojing laughed suddenly, his smile was like a gust of spring breeze, warming the heart and lungs, Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, Yun Ruojing took his hand, her voice suddenly became choked up, and said, "Your voice Brother, I am very happy."
In his eyes, he felt lost.
Xiao Ran stood quietly, and said calmly, "My big brother, does it remind you of your junior brother?"
"Yes," Yun Ruojing's eyes were full of loneliness, "The first time I saw you, I thought he really came back."
However, he will not come back, he went to another world.
Xiao Ran said, "Do you treat me like him in your heart?"
What a smart person he is, I have already guessed a lot from this painting and Yun Ruojing's expression.
Yun Ruojing shook her head, "I treat you like a brother."
Is there a difference between a brother and a younger brother?Thinking about it, Xiao Ranxiu frowned slightly, then stretched her eyebrows, and said, "Actually, I'm quite happy. I was the only son in my family since I was a child, and now I have another big brother."
Yun Ruojing said, "Since we are already brothers, elder brother invites my virtuous brother to live here for a long time, what do you think of my virtuous brother?"
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then hesitated, "There is no problem, but if I don't go home for a long time, my parents will inevitably worry."
"It's okay," Yun Ruojing said briskly, "I will send someone to tell your parents."
Now that the matter has come to this point, it seems that he is too hypocritical to push back, so Xiao Ran nodded and accepted Yun Ruojing's kindness.
Although the courtyard of Liuxiang Garden is large, there are very few people coming and going. Xiao Ran felt extremely lonely for a while, so he went to visit Lin Buyi when he was free, or wandered around with Xiaoyue to kill time.
Xiao Ran noticed that Yun Ruojing must go back to her room to rest every day at mid-month, so she couldn't help but sighed to Xiaoyue, "Brother, this is too hard, you should think of a way to make him relax."
Xiaoyue said, "For this matter, Guanshi Zhang and the four elders have persuaded him countless times, but he still does his own thing."
Xiao Ran felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help saying, "So, it's my elder brother's voluntary choice, which makes me think that my elder brother must have encountered something sad in his heart, so he just passed my time like this."
"No, I must give up such a life, brother," Xiao Ran murmured.
Xiaoyue blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "You are an honored guest of the owner, if you can persuade him, that would be the best."
Xiao Ran had already made up his mind for himself, and suddenly changed the topic, "Where is Lin Buyi, I don't think I saw him today."
Xiaoyue chuckled, "You don't know, the owner took him to see his master today."
"Master," Xiao Ran said curiously, "I didn't hear that he wanted to be a teacher."
"Hey, that's why you never pay attention to other people's behavior," Xiaoyue said, "Mr. Lin is pestering the owner of the villa, but the owner has never agreed, but today Senior Brother Sha returned to the village, and the owner suddenly changed his mind and wanted to take Mr. Lin Give it to Senior Brother Sha as an apprentice."
Xiao Ran said depressedly, "Why didn't they tell me such a good thing."
Seeing his dejected look, Xiaoyue couldn't help but joked, "You look so preoccupied every day, I'm afraid they don't want to disturb you."
Xiao Ran kicked a small bluestone all the way, and returned to his guest room listlessly, feeling quite uneasy, why didn't the elder brother tell me about these things?Heart ups and downs.
I tilted my head and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, and felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a slam, and a figure ran in like a whirlwind, shouting excitedly, "Brother Xiao, I have another master."
Xiao Ran raised his eyes and saw that it was Lin Buyi, and he couldn't help but said calmly, "You have some happy event, and you came in without even knocking on the door."
Sitting opposite him, Lin Buyi said happily, "Today, the owner asked me to worship Sha Ruofeng as my teacher. Brother Xiao, do you know that Sha Ruofeng is one of the best masters in Liuyunzhuang?"
He himself said he was happy, but he didn't notice that Xiao Ran's expression suddenly changed.
☆、Volume 05 [-] Beginning affairs
Seeing Xiao Ran's silence for a long time, Lin Buyi couldn't help being anxious, touched him with his hand, and said in a puzzled voice, "Brother Xiao, aren't you happy for me?"
Xiao Ran suddenly came back to his senses, forced a smile, and said, "Brother Lin, I'm happy for you."
Lin Buyi pouted and said, "Brother Xiao, let me tell you, my original master didn't really teach me at all, he only taught me the basics and then urged me to come out to the rivers and lakes. If the owner didn't analyze it for me, I would still I really can't see it, hum, it's really hypocritical, fortunately, I met the owner of the villa, so that I won't be kept in the dark by him for the rest of my life."
"So, who was your original master?" Xiao Ran asked curiously.
Lin Buyi was taken aback for a moment, then said sadly, "Although he doesn't like me, I still don't want to spoil his reputation by saying it."
Xiao Ran said, "Brother Lin, since that's the case, let him stay in your heart forever."
Lin Buyi slowly raised his head, looked at Xiao Ran, and said, "Yes, in my mind, even if he is my master, he is also my savior."
The room fell silent for a moment, Xiao Ran could imagine his conflicted mood at this moment, that kind of person who gave you life but didn't trust you, kept a slight distance from you, and always respected him like a god in your heart People collapse suddenly, an instant blow to themselves.
After a long time, Xiao Ran got up and said, "The room is too stuffy, let's go for a walk."
The courtyard was quiet, Lin Buyi suddenly said, "Brother Xiao, I'm going to move to the master's place."
Xiao Ran looked at him in a daze, and couldn't help but smile wryly, "It seems that this place is even more deserted."
"How could it be?" Lin Buyi said, "I will come to see you when I have time, and the owner will come back here every day."
Xiao Ran smiled wryly in his heart, owner, he doesn't come back until midnight every day, how can I have time to chat with him.
Let's talk about that night, Yun Ruojing returned to her room with the night as before, and was about to push the door, when she heard faint footsteps, and when she turned her head, she saw Xiao Ran walking towards her lightly, Can't help but ask, "Xiandi hasn't fallen asleep yet?"
Xiao Ran said, "I saw that my eldest brother didn't return home so late, I was very worried, and I purposely waited for my eldest brother to return home."
Yun Ruojing opened the door and said, "My brother and I will talk in the room."
Xiao Ran was not polite, and followed into Yun Ruojing's room.
To Xiao Ran's surprise, Yun Ruojing's room was almost the same as Lin Buyi's room, simple and unadorned. From this point of view, his own room was the most luxurious.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but said, "Brother, as the owner of a villa, how are you doing? The room is not so simple. I don't think Liuyunzhuang is short of these money."
Yun Ruojing sat on the wooden chair, staring at the distance, as if there was something attracting him there, Xiao Ran looked back, but saw only darkness.
"These are just things outside of me. Whether I have them or not is not important to me. I just need a place to rest." Yun Ruojing said lightly.
Xiao Ran suddenly didn't know what to say.
Yun Ruojing withdrew her gaze and said, "My dear brother, you waited for me on purpose, but you have something to say to me?"
Xiao Ran bit his lip, and finally said, "Brother, I feel sorry for you working yourself so hard every day. I want to help my brother share some things."
Yun Ruojing said, "You are brother's guest, how could brother make you so tired."
"I'm not tired," Xiao Ran hurriedly explained, "Brother, you are so devoted to me, I just want to share your worries."
"Really?"
Xiao Ran's eyes were firm, "I am sincere."
Yun Ruojing stared at Xiao Ran, nodded slowly, "Since my brother has such a heart, I will accept it."
Xiao Ran rejoiced in his heart, and said, "Brother, you made an agreement with me, and you are not allowed to go back on your word."
Yun Ruojing slightly nodded with a smile on her lips.
The moonlight outside was as dark as ink, but Xiao Ran's heart gradually warmed up, and he couldn't help but said, "I wonder if you have any news about my brother."
A strange look flashed in Yun Ruojing's eyes, and she said softly, "My dear brother, there is not yet for now."
A look of disappointment appeared on Xiao Ran's face, but he laughed again in an instant, "I'm so confused, how can it be so easy to find a relative who has been separated for 18 years."
"It's late at night and the dew is heavy, brother, have a good rest." Yun Ruojing stood up and told Chun Chun.
His tone was gentle, and there was a deep unknown emotion in his eyes. Xiao Ran stared at such a pair of charming eyes, and suddenly thought of how many girls and boys were fascinated by these gentle words and eyes. Then, his face became hot.He coughed lightly, bid farewell to Yun Ruojing, hurried out of the house, walked a few steps, then turned back, but saw Yun Ruojing was still standing at the door, watching him silently, his heart was pounding, he didn't dare to turn back, panicked He hurried back to his room.
Falling on the bed, Xiao Ran covered himself tightly from head to toe with the quilt, recalling Yun Ruojing's every move just now, he couldn't help scolding himself for being like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a crush on her heart, maybe she usually Eldest brother treats every guest like this, how can I think too much, besides, elder brother has power and power, and he can't get any kind of beauty he wants, when he thinks of this, he calms down and slowly falls asleep.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xiao Ran followed Yun Ruojing out of the Liuxiang Garden. He walked straight, passed through several courtyards, and came to an arched gate covered with wisteria flowers. Standing on the right were two white-clothed disciples. When they saw Yun Ruojing, they immediately stepped forward to salute, and said in a deep voice, "Master."
Yun Ruojing nodded and said, "Did you have something to do last night?"
One of them replied, "Nothing."
Yun Ruojing turned her head and said to Xiao Ran, "My dear brother, this is the wisteria garden where I often stay, and from now on, this is also the place you will often come to."
Xiao Ran nodded, followed Yun Ruojing into the garden.
What caught the eye was one of the magnificent, magnificent, three-story pavilions with carved beams and painted buildings.
Next to the pavilion, there are several huts with blue bricks and white tiles.
This wisteria garden is not as quiet as the liuxiang garden. On the contrary, apart from planting some evergreen pines and cypresses around the yard, and wisteria flowers covering the walls, there are no special attractions.
Xiao Ran noticed that Liuyun disciples in white clothes were walking back and forth in the dark around the courtyard from time to time. They looked solemn, did not speak a word, wore long swords, and only nodded when they met each other.Xiao Ran couldn't help being startled, the wisteria garden was heavily guarded, presumably it must be the place where Liuyunzhuang kept the core secrets.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Yun Ruo stopped still, looked ahead, and said slowly, "My dear brother, the wisteria garden is a solemn place in Liuyun. All the affairs of the village and its various core affairs are handled here. The secrets of Liuyunzhuang will not be leaked or stolen, this place has always been carefully guarded by selected outstanding disciples."
Xiao Ran couldn't help but paused, and said, "Brother, since this place is an important place, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to go in as an outsider."
Yun Ruojing looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "My dear brother, do you remember what you said last night."
Xiao Ran nodded, bit his lip, and said, "If the elder brother trusts the younger brother, the younger brother will certainly serve him."
Yun Ruojing looked at him with a slight smile, and said softly, "Didn't I say that, since the first time I saw you, I have treated you as my own."
Xiao Ran smiled unnaturally, and thought to himself, it must be because of Yun Xiaoran, you think I am your junior brother Yun Xiaoran, and you feel kind in your heart, but I am not him before, I just look similar to him That's all.
Xiao Ran followed him into the pavilion.
There were two guards standing outside the gate in front of the building, but when they saw Yun Ruojing, they automatically let them go. As soon as they stepped into the pavilion, Xiao Ran saw people coming in and out of the pavilion. He didn't say a word, just followed Yun Ruojing. Behind Ruojing, he went up the wooden steps all the way to the third floor. Yun Ruojing pushed open the door of one of the rooms, and there were already two middle-aged men in white who were busy inside. Holding a large stack of ledgers, seeing Yun Ruojing coming in, she hastily lowered her head and said, "Villa Master."
Yun Ruojing stepped forward and said, "Didn't you say that the two of you were too busy last time, no, I brought you a new apprentice."
As he spoke, he called Xiao Ran forward and introduced, "My dear brother, these are your two masters. The older one is called Wen Yan, and the younger one is called Zhao An."
Xiao Ran stepped forward to salute the two men, and said, "Xiao Ran has met the two masters."
The two men saw Xiao Ran being so modest, and they had a good impression of him in their hearts. When they looked at Xiao Ran carefully, the surprise on their faces became heavier. Seeing this, Xiao Ran secretly laughed in his heart.
Yun Ruojing briefly explained to Xiao Ran, and then drifted away.
Wen Yan and Zhao An didn't dare to neglect him because he was brought by the owner himself. At first, they just let him sit aside, but gradually Xiao Ran couldn't sit still, and started to help them read the books. He was already very talented. , One click, let the two masters nod frequently.
The time was spent among the piles of ledgers, and Xiao Ran kept his eyes on the ledgers. When he heard Yun Ruojing's voice next to his ear, he realized that he was the only one left in the room. Yun Ruojing outside blinked and said strangely, "Where are the two masters?"
Yun Ruojing said, "I went to take a lunch break. They all said that you were too hardworking, and you couldn't hear me calling you, so I have to come down and call you myself."
Xiao Ran tilted his head and said, "Do you want to continue in the afternoon?"
Yun Ruojing said, "Go back to rest in the afternoon, as long as you two masters are here."
Xiao Ran said, "No, I want to go home with you at night."
Yun Ruojing's heart moved when she heard the words, then she shook her head and said, "I have something important to do this afternoon, so I may not stay in the wisteria garden."
Xiao Ran smiled faintly, "You will always come back, won't you?"
Yun Ruojing looked at him helplessly, and listening to his childish words, for some reason, she instantly recalled Yun Xiaoran's voice and smile, feeling melancholy in her heart.
The two were about to go downstairs, when suddenly there was a sound of chaotic footsteps from downstairs, and then a man dressed in black appeared in front of them with an expressionless face.
When Yun Ruojing saw him, her complexion changed drastically, she turned her head to Xiao Ran and said, "My dear brother, you can go downstairs to eat first, I have something urgent to do."
Seeing his expression, Xiao Ran looked very anxious, so he nodded to him, smiled, and went downstairs alone.
Seeing his figure disappear, Yun Ruojing said to the man in black, "Please come with me."
Take the man in black into his own separate room.
There is a deck chair and two wooden chairs in the room, both of which are made of high-quality rosewood, exuding a solemn and noble temperament. The table is made of high-quality rosewood, exuding light yellow luster and fragrance. There are brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, and there are precious calligraphy and paintings of famous masters hanging on the four corners of the wall, exuding an invisible noble temperament. Booklet, behind the short table is a lockable cabinet, standing there quietly.
Sitting opposite Yun Ruojing, the man in black said eagerly, "Master, something serious happened."
Yun Ruojing handed him a cup of clear tea and said, "Don't worry, drink it, and then speak slowly."
The man in black gulped down the water and said, "Something happened in the capital."
Yun Ruojing was startled, and said, "What's going on?"
The man in black said, "The prince's family was executed by the emperor for treason, and tens of thousands of people were implicated."
Yun Ruojing calmed down and said, "It seems that the emperor is angry this time, but I have met the prince, and he has always been generous and benevolent. I don't really believe that he will rebel."
The man in black said, "I also suspect that the prince has been framed. The situation in the capital is very bad now. Master Tong respects the prince. If he is implicated in this, he is worried that the new envoys will be very harmful to Liuyunzhuang. Are you You know, both the old and new owners of Liuyunzhuang are too close to him."
Yun Ruojing said, "So for this, we still wait and see what happens. In any case, the emperor is unlikely to attack Liuyunzhuang immediately. Moreover, Liuyunzhuang is only involved in martial arts, not in court affairs, and never involved in party disputes." .”
The man in black nodded, and said urgently, "Master Tong also means the same thing. I hope Liuyunzhuang will remain silent during this period, so as not to make unnecessary sacrifices."
"I understand," Yun Ruojing nodded and said, "Now in the court, all the officials are in danger, and the emperor is obsessed with ghosts and gods, and he favors a group of alchemists..."
"That's right, it's the one surnamed Fang who is greatly trusted by the emperor. I heard that this incident is related to him." The man in black interrupted him.
Yun Ruojing looked worried, and said, "I heard that this person is domineering in the palace and the capital, and many people are not used to it, but he has the emperor's support behind him, and at the same time, this person had a rift with the crown prince in the early years."
Thinking of this, he not only tapped his forehead with his hand, but said with a wry smile, "My lord, this matter of yours has made me really anxious."
The man in black stood up and said, "Villa Master, Master Tong hopes that Liuyun Village will not be involved in this incident as much as possible, so I hope you."
"What do you want from me?"
"Try to stay at home, claim illness and recuperate in the village, and wait for the news in the capital to pass before taking action in the rivers and lakes."
Yun Ruojing smiled wryly, but nodded, and said, "I understand your lord's painstaking efforts, you go back and tell him, I will not let him down."
The man in black stood up and said, "At the same time, Mr. Tong feels sorry for the prince. I hope you can secretly send someone to find out the whole story."
Yun Ruojing stood up, and said calmly, "I understand everything, and I have my own sense of proportion."
"In that case, the villain will leave." The man in black said goodbye.
"Wait a minute, as you enter Liuyunzhuang, can someone follow behind?"
"No," the man in black affirmed.
Yun Ruojing smiled noncommittally, walked to the window, and stretched out his hand. Immediately, a pigeon landed in his palm. He took a thin tube from the pigeon, took out a note from it, and looked at it. , handed it to the man in black, and said, "Look for yourself."
☆、Volume 06 [-] The moon is all over the sky
When the man in black saw it, he was shocked, but he still remained expressionless.
Yun Ruojing sighed, "As soon as you left Tong's Mansion, you were followed. Fortunately, as soon as you entered Lingzhou, you were discovered by the disciples of Zhuangzhong. □□, therefore, you must change your appearance and return to the capital."
The man in black nodded in agreement, and quickly disappeared in front of Yun Ruojing.
Yun Ruojing paced up and down alone in the room, thinking left and right in her mind, and finally came downstairs, leaned over and whispered a few words into the ear of a white-clothed disciple standing beside her, then looked up and saw Xiao Ran outside alone Wandering, overjoyed in his heart, he beckoned to Xiao Ran and returned to Liuxiang Garden with him.
Seeing that he looked extremely tired, Xiao Ran couldn't help but said with concern, "Brother, you're tired."
Yun Ruojing's voice was extremely weak, and she said, "My dear brother, what you said last time was right. I've been feeling tired all over recently, so I'm going to rest in the village for a few days, and I'm going to talk with enough energy."
Xiao Ran said, "Brother should have done this long ago."
Yun Ruojing suddenly said, "Would you like to stay with me for a few days?"
Xiao Ran lowered his head and said, "Of course my younger brother is willing." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt regretful in his heart.
Yun Ruojing looked extremely happy when she heard the words, and said, "It's rare that my virtuous brother is willing to accompany me. It seems that I am not lonely these days."
At first Xiao Ran thought that Yun Ruojing was just talking. After all, Yun Ruojing used to be a person who never returned to her room until the moon was in the sky.How can a person who is used to busyness relax himself?
However, he miscalculated, Yun Ruojing would drag him to the open space in the courtyard to learn martial arts every day at dawn, and would teach him a few tricks, and then drag him to the pavilion in the pool to face each other. A few rounds, and then the two of them drank and had fun, and gradually the day was passed in such a muddled way.
Such days passed like this for more than half a month, and it was the fifteenth day. Xiao Ran was about to go to bed, and he secretly complained about Yun Ruojing's self-cultivation. Waste your energy in vain.
While complaining in his heart, there was a knock on the door suddenly, Xiao Ran opened the door, and found Yun Ruojing standing outside, he couldn't help saying, "Brother, there is something to do."
Yun Ruojing's eyes lit up, and said, "My dear brother, I'll take you to a place."
Before he could answer, Yun Ruojing couldn't wait to hold his hand, jumped up and down several times, and jumped over the courtyard wall.
Landed on the uphill path behind the villa.
Suddenly, Yun Ruojing squatted down, and when Xiao Ran wasn't paying attention, she carried Xiao Ran on her back. Xiao Ran was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Yun Ruojing smiled and said, "Brother carries you up the mountain to see the stars."
Xiao Ran was stunned when he heard the words, and then two teardrops rolled down unconsciously, and he said angrily, "Brother, I'm so old, I don't need someone to carry me, put me down, I'll go with you."
Yun Ruojing shook her head, carried him steadily on her back, and performed lightness kung fu.
He already had deep internal energy and high martial arts skills, Xiao Ran only felt the wind in his ears, and hugged him tightly, as if he would be carried away by the wind if he was not careful.
Yun Ruojing stopped, and gently placed Xiao Ran on the ground.
As soon as Xiao Ran's feet touched the soil, he opened his eyes slowly.
I am on a hillside, the hillside is full of unknown wild flowers, a large piece, a large piece, swaying with the wind, the fragrance is far and clear, there is a black curtain above the head, and a full moon hangs on it. In the bright moonlight, there are a few sparse stars around, and the mountain wind blows slowly, making people feel happy.
"My dear brother, look up at the sky," Yun Ruojing whispered in his ear.
Xiao Ran raised his head as promised, and suddenly felt that he was so close to the sky, the moon and the stars, and even had a sense of the insignificance of the sky, the earth, the big life, and couldn't help being stunned.
"Do you like it here?" Yun Ruojing asked.
"I like it," Xiao Ran blurted out.
"Why don't we sleep in the embrace of the moon and the stars tonight." Yun Ruojing said softly.
In this deep night, his words carried an intoxicating gentleness, which made Xiao Ran nod like a ghost.
Yun Ruojing took his hand and walked towards a rectangular stone platform with a mirror-like smooth surface among the flowers. In fact, there are many stones with this shape here, but none of them are as long, smooth, or as smooth as that one. Big, like a natural bed.
The two came to the stone bed and stood still. Yun Ruojing quickly took off her coat and spread it on the stone bed.
Seeing him act like this, Xiao Ran's heart beat wildly with nervousness.
Yun Ruojing smiled at him, took his hand, and the two of them lay side by side on the stone bed. As far as their eyes could see, they were the full moon hanging in the sky and the faintly visible stars.
The sky and the bright moon are so close, so within reach, in the arms of the stars and the moon, Xiao Ran slowly closed his eyes, thinking of the picture of a beautiful woman under the moon in his living room, his heart ached, and he couldn't help the tears rolling down Down.
Yun Ruojing at the side seemed to sense Xiao Ran's strangeness, hugged him quickly, turned his face, and said softly, "My dear brother, why are you crying?"
Xiao Ran wanted to suppress his crying, but the more he wanted to suppress it, the more tears flowed like a fountain. Yun Ruojing hastily wiped the teardrops off his face with her hands, and coaxed him gently, "My dear brother, don't scare the elder brother. If Brother Xian doesn't like it, Big Brother will carry you back, okay?"
Xiao Ran choked up and said, "It's because Yun Xiaoran has been here before, that elder brother thought of bringing me here."
Yun Ruojing trembled when she heard the words, and then hugged him tightly in her arms, saying, "My dear brother, don't think too much, elder brother wants to make you happy."
Xiao Ran hummed, and buried his head in Yun Ruojing's arms, as if he had been wronged, and was eager to find a place to hide.
Yun Ruojing patted Xiao Ran's shoulder lightly. In his warm embrace, Xiao Ran finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep in a daze.
That night, he seemed to have had many dreams. In the dream, a boy in purple was chasing a boy in white, crying while chasing, "Brother carry me, brother carry me."Every dream is fragmented, like fallen leaves in the wind, falling to the ground without a shadow, or like a flash in the pan, closing in an instant, and those fragments are gone.
A gust of mountain wind blew past, Xiao Ran slowly opened his eyes, and what appeared in front of him were those tender eyes that made people nostalgic, and he couldn't help saying, "Brother, it's dawn."
Yun Ruojing said, "Did you sleep well in the arms of big brother last night?"
Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, then nodded. At this moment, Dongfang Yunxia was dyed red, and strands of silk shot towards the ground.
Yun Ruojing took his hand and said, "My dear brother, let elder brother carry you down the mountain."
Xiao Ran blushed, and refused, "No, I'm such an adult, I will go down the mountain by myself."
Yun Ruojing smiled softly, and said softly, "Now the water vapor
Although his words were gentle, but with a magic power that the other party could not refuse, Xiao Ran followed him back to his bedroom unknowingly.
Xiaoyue obediently offered fragrant tea to the two of them, and then stood aside.
Yun Ruojing said, "Little brother, tell me about your brother's general appearance, so that we can find someone for you."
Xiao Ran thought for a while before saying, "I just remember my mother said that my brother and I are twins, we look exactly the same, when we were young, no one could tell us apart except my parents."
"And then what?"
"Then one year, my parents passed by Lingzhou and were attacked by a group of masked men. My father tied my elder brother to a peach tree and came back to help my mother deal with the robbers. In the Taolin, I found that my brother was missing."
After a pause, Xiao Ran said, "Over the years, as I grew up, my father and mother missed my elder brother whom I had never met more and more. They hoped that a miracle would happen, that my elder brother who had been separated since childhood would be able I met a good family and was taken in, so with a glimmer of hope, they asked me to come to Lingzhou City to investigate, hoping to find the slightest clue about my brother."
He casually picked up the teacup, drank it lightly, and said, "However, after so many years, I don't know whether my brother is alive or dead, and I'm really not sure whether I can find out his whereabouts."
Yun Ruojing's heart sank, and she comforted her, "I'll arrange someone to help you find out. You don't need to worry, just stay in the yard first."
Xiao Ran shyly said, "Then thank the owner for his kindness."
Yun Ruojing said suddenly, "I arranged for the little brother who came with you to live next door to me. If you are worried, you can go and see him."
Xiao Ran was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly remembered that it must be the boy in civilian clothes, so he couldn't help but smile and nodded.
☆、Volume 04 [-] beauty pictures
Xiao Ran walked into the room, the boy in civilian clothes was lying on the bed, silently looking at the roof.
He couldn't help but stepped forward and said, "How are you doing?"
The young man said gratefully, "The owner of the village just healed my wounds, and I'm much better now."
Then he said sadly, "It never occurred to me that compared with the master, my skill is as high as the sky and as low as the ground. It really makes me depressed."
Xiao Ran said, "You are still young and have plenty of time, by the way, little brother, your surname is Xiao Ran."
The young man said, "My name is Lin Buyi. I was adopted by my master since I was a child. This time I finally got out of the master's school. Unexpectedly..."
Xiao Ran patted him lightly on the shoulder, and comforted him, "It's not that you are too weak, but the opponent is too strong. Didn't you listen to Master Yun, that man in Tsing Yi is one of the protectors of the Mingyue Sect."
Lin Buyi couldn't help smiling when he heard that, and said, "Brother Xiao, I know you're trying to make me happy."
Xiao Ran said, "You have a chivalrous heart at such a young age, this really deserves Xiao's admiration."
Lin Buyi looked at Xiao Ran and said, "Brother Xiao is not the same."
The two looked at each other and smiled. At this moment, a waiter came in with a medicine bowl. Xiao Ran took the medicine bowl from his hand and said, "It's fine if I'm here." Then he sat by the bed and handed the medicine bowl to him. Give it to Lin Buyi, Lin Buyi closed his eyes, drank it in one gulp, closed his mouth for a while before saying, "It's so bitter."
Afterwards, he sat upright on the bed with his legs crossed, silently practiced the profound arts, and gradually settled down like an old monk.
Xiao Ran knew that he was using his internal energy to transform the medicine, so he stood aside, silently, looking at the room.
Compared with my own room, the furnishings of the room are much simpler, just a bed, a table, and two chairs. I don't know what it feels like in my heart. Thinking of what Xiaoyue said, you are a distinguished guest of the owner, I can't help but smile secretly.
After a while, Lin Buyi finished his exercise, slowly opened his eyes, saw Xiao Ran, and couldn't help saying, "Brother Xiao, you haven't left yet."
Xiao Ran smiled and nodded, exchanged pleasantries with Lin Buyi, picked up the medicine bowl on the table, and left.
As he walked, he looked at the surrounding terrain and kept these silently in his heart. Before he knew it, he had left Liuxiang Garden and came to an open courtyard. Suddenly someone said, "Hey, what are you?" Man, how come I've never seen you?"
He couldn't help tightening his heart, and then he turned around, and saw a man in white looking at him suspiciously, and said quickly, "I was invited by the owner of the village as a guest. My friend was injured. I just gave him the medicine. Now I’m here to return the medicine bowl.”
The man in white was about forty, with a pair of shining eyes, he stared closely at Xiao Ran, "Your Excellency is very familiar, but why didn't I hear that there is a guest invited by the owner today."
Xiao Ran hurriedly bowed his hands and said, "I, Xiao Ran, ran into the owner of the villa on the street..."
The man interrupted him, and said to himself, "No wonder you look familiar, so you look exactly like Yun Xiaoran."
Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry about it just now. I was just making a routine inquiry. I'm Zhang Tianyi, the head manager of Liuyun Village. Since you are the owner's guest, I don't need you to take this medicine bowl back to the pharmacy yourself. give it to me."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran had no choice but to hand the bowl to him, move his feet, and return to Liuxiang Garden.
He wondered in his heart that Zhang Tianyi was quite wary of him at the beginning, but later when he said his name, he became much more friendly, saying that he was exactly the same as Yun Xiaoran, what was the reason for this.
Could it be that the people in Liuyunzhuang have a good impression of the person named Yun Xiaoran, because they love Wu and Wu.
Shaking his head, Xiao Ran threw away these thoughts, and then saw the picture of a beauty under the moon on the wall, so he walked to the picture and admired it carefully.The painter's brushwork is exquisite. In the painting, the young man is dressed in purple and is sitting under a weeping willow. The moon and stars are rare in the sky. The young man is looking up at the bright moon with longing.
Xiao Ran was fascinated by it.
Someone beside him whispered, "What do you think of this painting?" Xiao Ran was startled suddenly, and when he looked up, he met the other's pair of autumn eyes, couldn't help but smiled brightly, and said, "The brushwork is good, the characters are lifelike, I don’t know that the young man in this painting is a close friend of the owner.”
Yun Ruojing sighed, "He is my little brother Yun Xiaoran."
Xiao Ran said, "It turns out to be your junior brother. From the picture, he is definitely a stunning figure."
Complimented quietly.
Yun Ruojing sighed, "He is indeed a peerless beauty in the world, but unfortunately he passed away three years ago."
Xiao Ran bowed his head in silence for a moment, then said softly, "I'm sorry, I mentioned your sadness."
Yun Ruojing shook her head, and said, "Actually, you look exactly like him. My junior brother was also picked up from under the peach tree by my master back then."
Xiao Ran's complexion changed drastically when he heard the words, "What, you said your junior brother..."
That's right, Yun Ruojing stared at him, and said calmly, "My junior brother looks similar to you, and was also picked up from the peach forest by the master when he was young, so I will connect what you said with him, maybe, it is possible... "
No, Xiao Ran shouted, "I don't believe it, it is said that twins are connected to each other, but why doesn't my heart hurt at all?"
Yun Ruojing put her hand on his shoulder lightly, with a trace of comfort in her eyes, she said softly, "This is just my guess, I will do my best."
Like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw, Xiao Ran hastily said, "Then the owner will have to worry about it."
Yun Ruojing frowned, and said, "I'm only a few years older than you, why don't you call me big brother, the word owner is too confusing."
Xiao Ran was stunned, and tentatively said, "This is not good."
Yun Ruojing said, "You and I are like old friends when we first met, and you are also like my junior brother. I have already regarded you as my own in my heart, so what's wrong."
Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, finally settled down, and said softly, "Brother."
Yun Ruojing laughed suddenly, his smile was like a gust of spring breeze, warming the heart and lungs, Xiao Ran was stunned for a moment, Yun Ruojing took his hand, her voice suddenly became choked up, and said, "Your voice Brother, I am very happy."
In his eyes, he felt lost.
Xiao Ran stood quietly, and said calmly, "My big brother, does it remind you of your junior brother?"
"Yes," Yun Ruojing's eyes were full of loneliness, "The first time I saw you, I thought he really came back."
However, he will not come back, he went to another world.
Xiao Ran said, "Do you treat me like him in your heart?"
What a smart person he is, I have already guessed a lot from this painting and Yun Ruojing's expression.
Yun Ruojing shook her head, "I treat you like a brother."
Is there a difference between a brother and a younger brother?Thinking about it, Xiao Ranxiu frowned slightly, then stretched her eyebrows, and said, "Actually, I'm quite happy. I was the only son in my family since I was a child, and now I have another big brother."
Yun Ruojing said, "Since we are already brothers, elder brother invites my virtuous brother to live here for a long time, what do you think of my virtuous brother?"
Xiao Ran pondered for a moment, then hesitated, "There is no problem, but if I don't go home for a long time, my parents will inevitably worry."
"It's okay," Yun Ruojing said briskly, "I will send someone to tell your parents."
Now that the matter has come to this point, it seems that he is too hypocritical to push back, so Xiao Ran nodded and accepted Yun Ruojing's kindness.
Although the courtyard of Liuxiang Garden is large, there are very few people coming and going. Xiao Ran felt extremely lonely for a while, so he went to visit Lin Buyi when he was free, or wandered around with Xiaoyue to kill time.
Xiao Ran noticed that Yun Ruojing must go back to her room to rest every day at mid-month, so she couldn't help but sighed to Xiaoyue, "Brother, this is too hard, you should think of a way to make him relax."
Xiaoyue said, "For this matter, Guanshi Zhang and the four elders have persuaded him countless times, but he still does his own thing."
Xiao Ran felt a pain in his heart, and couldn't help saying, "So, it's my elder brother's voluntary choice, which makes me think that my elder brother must have encountered something sad in his heart, so he just passed my time like this."
"No, I must give up such a life, brother," Xiao Ran murmured.
Xiaoyue blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "You are an honored guest of the owner, if you can persuade him, that would be the best."
Xiao Ran had already made up his mind for himself, and suddenly changed the topic, "Where is Lin Buyi, I don't think I saw him today."
Xiaoyue chuckled, "You don't know, the owner took him to see his master today."
"Master," Xiao Ran said curiously, "I didn't hear that he wanted to be a teacher."
"Hey, that's why you never pay attention to other people's behavior," Xiaoyue said, "Mr. Lin is pestering the owner of the villa, but the owner has never agreed, but today Senior Brother Sha returned to the village, and the owner suddenly changed his mind and wanted to take Mr. Lin Give it to Senior Brother Sha as an apprentice."
Xiao Ran said depressedly, "Why didn't they tell me such a good thing."
Seeing his dejected look, Xiaoyue couldn't help but joked, "You look so preoccupied every day, I'm afraid they don't want to disturb you."
Xiao Ran kicked a small bluestone all the way, and returned to his guest room listlessly, feeling quite uneasy, why didn't the elder brother tell me about these things?Heart ups and downs.
I tilted my head and thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason, and felt a little uncomfortable in my heart.
At this moment, the door was pushed open with a slam, and a figure ran in like a whirlwind, shouting excitedly, "Brother Xiao, I have another master."
Xiao Ran raised his eyes and saw that it was Lin Buyi, and he couldn't help but said calmly, "You have some happy event, and you came in without even knocking on the door."
Sitting opposite him, Lin Buyi said happily, "Today, the owner asked me to worship Sha Ruofeng as my teacher. Brother Xiao, do you know that Sha Ruofeng is one of the best masters in Liuyunzhuang?"
He himself said he was happy, but he didn't notice that Xiao Ran's expression suddenly changed.
☆、Volume 05 [-] Beginning affairs
Seeing Xiao Ran's silence for a long time, Lin Buyi couldn't help being anxious, touched him with his hand, and said in a puzzled voice, "Brother Xiao, aren't you happy for me?"
Xiao Ran suddenly came back to his senses, forced a smile, and said, "Brother Lin, I'm happy for you."
Lin Buyi pouted and said, "Brother Xiao, let me tell you, my original master didn't really teach me at all, he only taught me the basics and then urged me to come out to the rivers and lakes. If the owner didn't analyze it for me, I would still I really can't see it, hum, it's really hypocritical, fortunately, I met the owner of the villa, so that I won't be kept in the dark by him for the rest of my life."
"So, who was your original master?" Xiao Ran asked curiously.
Lin Buyi was taken aback for a moment, then said sadly, "Although he doesn't like me, I still don't want to spoil his reputation by saying it."
Xiao Ran said, "Brother Lin, since that's the case, let him stay in your heart forever."
Lin Buyi slowly raised his head, looked at Xiao Ran, and said, "Yes, in my mind, even if he is my master, he is also my savior."
The room fell silent for a moment, Xiao Ran could imagine his conflicted mood at this moment, that kind of person who gave you life but didn't trust you, kept a slight distance from you, and always respected him like a god in your heart People collapse suddenly, an instant blow to themselves.
After a long time, Xiao Ran got up and said, "The room is too stuffy, let's go for a walk."
The courtyard was quiet, Lin Buyi suddenly said, "Brother Xiao, I'm going to move to the master's place."
Xiao Ran looked at him in a daze, and couldn't help but smile wryly, "It seems that this place is even more deserted."
"How could it be?" Lin Buyi said, "I will come to see you when I have time, and the owner will come back here every day."
Xiao Ran smiled wryly in his heart, owner, he doesn't come back until midnight every day, how can I have time to chat with him.
Let's talk about that night, Yun Ruojing returned to her room with the night as before, and was about to push the door, when she heard faint footsteps, and when she turned her head, she saw Xiao Ran walking towards her lightly, Can't help but ask, "Xiandi hasn't fallen asleep yet?"
Xiao Ran said, "I saw that my eldest brother didn't return home so late, I was very worried, and I purposely waited for my eldest brother to return home."
Yun Ruojing opened the door and said, "My brother and I will talk in the room."
Xiao Ran was not polite, and followed into Yun Ruojing's room.
To Xiao Ran's surprise, Yun Ruojing's room was almost the same as Lin Buyi's room, simple and unadorned. From this point of view, his own room was the most luxurious.
Xiao Ran couldn't help but said, "Brother, as the owner of a villa, how are you doing? The room is not so simple. I don't think Liuyunzhuang is short of these money."
Yun Ruojing sat on the wooden chair, staring at the distance, as if there was something attracting him there, Xiao Ran looked back, but saw only darkness.
"These are just things outside of me. Whether I have them or not is not important to me. I just need a place to rest." Yun Ruojing said lightly.
Xiao Ran suddenly didn't know what to say.
Yun Ruojing withdrew her gaze and said, "My dear brother, you waited for me on purpose, but you have something to say to me?"
Xiao Ran bit his lip, and finally said, "Brother, I feel sorry for you working yourself so hard every day. I want to help my brother share some things."
Yun Ruojing said, "You are brother's guest, how could brother make you so tired."
"I'm not tired," Xiao Ran hurriedly explained, "Brother, you are so devoted to me, I just want to share your worries."
"Really?"
Xiao Ran's eyes were firm, "I am sincere."
Yun Ruojing stared at Xiao Ran, nodded slowly, "Since my brother has such a heart, I will accept it."
Xiao Ran rejoiced in his heart, and said, "Brother, you made an agreement with me, and you are not allowed to go back on your word."
Yun Ruojing slightly nodded with a smile on her lips.
The moonlight outside was as dark as ink, but Xiao Ran's heart gradually warmed up, and he couldn't help but said, "I wonder if you have any news about my brother."
A strange look flashed in Yun Ruojing's eyes, and she said softly, "My dear brother, there is not yet for now."
A look of disappointment appeared on Xiao Ran's face, but he laughed again in an instant, "I'm so confused, how can it be so easy to find a relative who has been separated for 18 years."
"It's late at night and the dew is heavy, brother, have a good rest." Yun Ruojing stood up and told Chun Chun.
His tone was gentle, and there was a deep unknown emotion in his eyes. Xiao Ran stared at such a pair of charming eyes, and suddenly thought of how many girls and boys were fascinated by these gentle words and eyes. Then, his face became hot.He coughed lightly, bid farewell to Yun Ruojing, hurried out of the house, walked a few steps, then turned back, but saw Yun Ruojing was still standing at the door, watching him silently, his heart was pounding, he didn't dare to turn back, panicked He hurried back to his room.
Falling on the bed, Xiao Ran covered himself tightly from head to toe with the quilt, recalling Yun Ruojing's every move just now, he couldn't help scolding himself for being like a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl with a crush on her heart, maybe she usually Eldest brother treats every guest like this, how can I think too much, besides, elder brother has power and power, and he can't get any kind of beauty he wants, when he thinks of this, he calms down and slowly falls asleep.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Xiao Ran followed Yun Ruojing out of the Liuxiang Garden. He walked straight, passed through several courtyards, and came to an arched gate covered with wisteria flowers. Standing on the right were two white-clothed disciples. When they saw Yun Ruojing, they immediately stepped forward to salute, and said in a deep voice, "Master."
Yun Ruojing nodded and said, "Did you have something to do last night?"
One of them replied, "Nothing."
Yun Ruojing turned her head and said to Xiao Ran, "My dear brother, this is the wisteria garden where I often stay, and from now on, this is also the place you will often come to."
Xiao Ran nodded, followed Yun Ruojing into the garden.
What caught the eye was one of the magnificent, magnificent, three-story pavilions with carved beams and painted buildings.
Next to the pavilion, there are several huts with blue bricks and white tiles.
This wisteria garden is not as quiet as the liuxiang garden. On the contrary, apart from planting some evergreen pines and cypresses around the yard, and wisteria flowers covering the walls, there are no special attractions.
Xiao Ran noticed that Liuyun disciples in white clothes were walking back and forth in the dark around the courtyard from time to time. They looked solemn, did not speak a word, wore long swords, and only nodded when they met each other.Xiao Ran couldn't help being startled, the wisteria garden was heavily guarded, presumably it must be the place where Liuyunzhuang kept the core secrets.
As if knowing what he was thinking, Yun Ruo stopped still, looked ahead, and said slowly, "My dear brother, the wisteria garden is a solemn place in Liuyun. All the affairs of the village and its various core affairs are handled here. The secrets of Liuyunzhuang will not be leaked or stolen, this place has always been carefully guarded by selected outstanding disciples."
Xiao Ran couldn't help but paused, and said, "Brother, since this place is an important place, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for me to go in as an outsider."
Yun Ruojing looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and said, "My dear brother, do you remember what you said last night."
Xiao Ran nodded, bit his lip, and said, "If the elder brother trusts the younger brother, the younger brother will certainly serve him."
Yun Ruojing looked at him with a slight smile, and said softly, "Didn't I say that, since the first time I saw you, I have treated you as my own."
Xiao Ran smiled unnaturally, and thought to himself, it must be because of Yun Xiaoran, you think I am your junior brother Yun Xiaoran, and you feel kind in your heart, but I am not him before, I just look similar to him That's all.
Xiao Ran followed him into the pavilion.
There were two guards standing outside the gate in front of the building, but when they saw Yun Ruojing, they automatically let them go. As soon as they stepped into the pavilion, Xiao Ran saw people coming in and out of the pavilion. He didn't say a word, just followed Yun Ruojing. Behind Ruojing, he went up the wooden steps all the way to the third floor. Yun Ruojing pushed open the door of one of the rooms, and there were already two middle-aged men in white who were busy inside. Holding a large stack of ledgers, seeing Yun Ruojing coming in, she hastily lowered her head and said, "Villa Master."
Yun Ruojing stepped forward and said, "Didn't you say that the two of you were too busy last time, no, I brought you a new apprentice."
As he spoke, he called Xiao Ran forward and introduced, "My dear brother, these are your two masters. The older one is called Wen Yan, and the younger one is called Zhao An."
Xiao Ran stepped forward to salute the two men, and said, "Xiao Ran has met the two masters."
The two men saw Xiao Ran being so modest, and they had a good impression of him in their hearts. When they looked at Xiao Ran carefully, the surprise on their faces became heavier. Seeing this, Xiao Ran secretly laughed in his heart.
Yun Ruojing briefly explained to Xiao Ran, and then drifted away.
Wen Yan and Zhao An didn't dare to neglect him because he was brought by the owner himself. At first, they just let him sit aside, but gradually Xiao Ran couldn't sit still, and started to help them read the books. He was already very talented. , One click, let the two masters nod frequently.
The time was spent among the piles of ledgers, and Xiao Ran kept his eyes on the ledgers. When he heard Yun Ruojing's voice next to his ear, he realized that he was the only one left in the room. Yun Ruojing outside blinked and said strangely, "Where are the two masters?"
Yun Ruojing said, "I went to take a lunch break. They all said that you were too hardworking, and you couldn't hear me calling you, so I have to come down and call you myself."
Xiao Ran tilted his head and said, "Do you want to continue in the afternoon?"
Yun Ruojing said, "Go back to rest in the afternoon, as long as you two masters are here."
Xiao Ran said, "No, I want to go home with you at night."
Yun Ruojing's heart moved when she heard the words, then she shook her head and said, "I have something important to do this afternoon, so I may not stay in the wisteria garden."
Xiao Ran smiled faintly, "You will always come back, won't you?"
Yun Ruojing looked at him helplessly, and listening to his childish words, for some reason, she instantly recalled Yun Xiaoran's voice and smile, feeling melancholy in her heart.
The two were about to go downstairs, when suddenly there was a sound of chaotic footsteps from downstairs, and then a man dressed in black appeared in front of them with an expressionless face.
When Yun Ruojing saw him, her complexion changed drastically, she turned her head to Xiao Ran and said, "My dear brother, you can go downstairs to eat first, I have something urgent to do."
Seeing his expression, Xiao Ran looked very anxious, so he nodded to him, smiled, and went downstairs alone.
Seeing his figure disappear, Yun Ruojing said to the man in black, "Please come with me."
Take the man in black into his own separate room.
There is a deck chair and two wooden chairs in the room, both of which are made of high-quality rosewood, exuding a solemn and noble temperament. The table is made of high-quality rosewood, exuding light yellow luster and fragrance. There are brushes, ink, paper and inkstones, and there are precious calligraphy and paintings of famous masters hanging on the four corners of the wall, exuding an invisible noble temperament. Booklet, behind the short table is a lockable cabinet, standing there quietly.
Sitting opposite Yun Ruojing, the man in black said eagerly, "Master, something serious happened."
Yun Ruojing handed him a cup of clear tea and said, "Don't worry, drink it, and then speak slowly."
The man in black gulped down the water and said, "Something happened in the capital."
Yun Ruojing was startled, and said, "What's going on?"
The man in black said, "The prince's family was executed by the emperor for treason, and tens of thousands of people were implicated."
Yun Ruojing calmed down and said, "It seems that the emperor is angry this time, but I have met the prince, and he has always been generous and benevolent. I don't really believe that he will rebel."
The man in black said, "I also suspect that the prince has been framed. The situation in the capital is very bad now. Master Tong respects the prince. If he is implicated in this, he is worried that the new envoys will be very harmful to Liuyunzhuang. Are you You know, both the old and new owners of Liuyunzhuang are too close to him."
Yun Ruojing said, "So for this, we still wait and see what happens. In any case, the emperor is unlikely to attack Liuyunzhuang immediately. Moreover, Liuyunzhuang is only involved in martial arts, not in court affairs, and never involved in party disputes." .”
The man in black nodded, and said urgently, "Master Tong also means the same thing. I hope Liuyunzhuang will remain silent during this period, so as not to make unnecessary sacrifices."
"I understand," Yun Ruojing nodded and said, "Now in the court, all the officials are in danger, and the emperor is obsessed with ghosts and gods, and he favors a group of alchemists..."
"That's right, it's the one surnamed Fang who is greatly trusted by the emperor. I heard that this incident is related to him." The man in black interrupted him.
Yun Ruojing looked worried, and said, "I heard that this person is domineering in the palace and the capital, and many people are not used to it, but he has the emperor's support behind him, and at the same time, this person had a rift with the crown prince in the early years."
Thinking of this, he not only tapped his forehead with his hand, but said with a wry smile, "My lord, this matter of yours has made me really anxious."
The man in black stood up and said, "Villa Master, Master Tong hopes that Liuyun Village will not be involved in this incident as much as possible, so I hope you."
"What do you want from me?"
"Try to stay at home, claim illness and recuperate in the village, and wait for the news in the capital to pass before taking action in the rivers and lakes."
Yun Ruojing smiled wryly, but nodded, and said, "I understand your lord's painstaking efforts, you go back and tell him, I will not let him down."
The man in black stood up and said, "At the same time, Mr. Tong feels sorry for the prince. I hope you can secretly send someone to find out the whole story."
Yun Ruojing stood up, and said calmly, "I understand everything, and I have my own sense of proportion."
"In that case, the villain will leave." The man in black said goodbye.
"Wait a minute, as you enter Liuyunzhuang, can someone follow behind?"
"No," the man in black affirmed.
Yun Ruojing smiled noncommittally, walked to the window, and stretched out his hand. Immediately, a pigeon landed in his palm. He took a thin tube from the pigeon, took out a note from it, and looked at it. , handed it to the man in black, and said, "Look for yourself."
☆、Volume 06 [-] The moon is all over the sky
When the man in black saw it, he was shocked, but he still remained expressionless.
Yun Ruojing sighed, "As soon as you left Tong's Mansion, you were followed. Fortunately, as soon as you entered Lingzhou, you were discovered by the disciples of Zhuangzhong. □□, therefore, you must change your appearance and return to the capital."
The man in black nodded in agreement, and quickly disappeared in front of Yun Ruojing.
Yun Ruojing paced up and down alone in the room, thinking left and right in her mind, and finally came downstairs, leaned over and whispered a few words into the ear of a white-clothed disciple standing beside her, then looked up and saw Xiao Ran outside alone Wandering, overjoyed in his heart, he beckoned to Xiao Ran and returned to Liuxiang Garden with him.
Seeing that he looked extremely tired, Xiao Ran couldn't help but said with concern, "Brother, you're tired."
Yun Ruojing's voice was extremely weak, and she said, "My dear brother, what you said last time was right. I've been feeling tired all over recently, so I'm going to rest in the village for a few days, and I'm going to talk with enough energy."
Xiao Ran said, "Brother should have done this long ago."
Yun Ruojing suddenly said, "Would you like to stay with me for a few days?"
Xiao Ran lowered his head and said, "Of course my younger brother is willing." As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he felt regretful in his heart.
Yun Ruojing looked extremely happy when she heard the words, and said, "It's rare that my virtuous brother is willing to accompany me. It seems that I am not lonely these days."
At first Xiao Ran thought that Yun Ruojing was just talking. After all, Yun Ruojing used to be a person who never returned to her room until the moon was in the sky.How can a person who is used to busyness relax himself?
However, he miscalculated, Yun Ruojing would drag him to the open space in the courtyard to learn martial arts every day at dawn, and would teach him a few tricks, and then drag him to the pavilion in the pool to face each other. A few rounds, and then the two of them drank and had fun, and gradually the day was passed in such a muddled way.
Such days passed like this for more than half a month, and it was the fifteenth day. Xiao Ran was about to go to bed, and he secretly complained about Yun Ruojing's self-cultivation. Waste your energy in vain.
While complaining in his heart, there was a knock on the door suddenly, Xiao Ran opened the door, and found Yun Ruojing standing outside, he couldn't help saying, "Brother, there is something to do."
Yun Ruojing's eyes lit up, and said, "My dear brother, I'll take you to a place."
Before he could answer, Yun Ruojing couldn't wait to hold his hand, jumped up and down several times, and jumped over the courtyard wall.
Landed on the uphill path behind the villa.
Suddenly, Yun Ruojing squatted down, and when Xiao Ran wasn't paying attention, she carried Xiao Ran on her back. Xiao Ran was shocked, and hurriedly said, "Brother, what do you mean?"
Yun Ruojing smiled and said, "Brother carries you up the mountain to see the stars."
Xiao Ran was stunned when he heard the words, and then two teardrops rolled down unconsciously, and he said angrily, "Brother, I'm so old, I don't need someone to carry me, put me down, I'll go with you."
Yun Ruojing shook her head, carried him steadily on her back, and performed lightness kung fu.
He already had deep internal energy and high martial arts skills, Xiao Ran only felt the wind in his ears, and hugged him tightly, as if he would be carried away by the wind if he was not careful.
Yun Ruojing stopped, and gently placed Xiao Ran on the ground.
As soon as Xiao Ran's feet touched the soil, he opened his eyes slowly.
I am on a hillside, the hillside is full of unknown wild flowers, a large piece, a large piece, swaying with the wind, the fragrance is far and clear, there is a black curtain above the head, and a full moon hangs on it. In the bright moonlight, there are a few sparse stars around, and the mountain wind blows slowly, making people feel happy.
"My dear brother, look up at the sky," Yun Ruojing whispered in his ear.
Xiao Ran raised his head as promised, and suddenly felt that he was so close to the sky, the moon and the stars, and even had a sense of the insignificance of the sky, the earth, the big life, and couldn't help being stunned.
"Do you like it here?" Yun Ruojing asked.
"I like it," Xiao Ran blurted out.
"Why don't we sleep in the embrace of the moon and the stars tonight." Yun Ruojing said softly.
In this deep night, his words carried an intoxicating gentleness, which made Xiao Ran nod like a ghost.
Yun Ruojing took his hand and walked towards a rectangular stone platform with a mirror-like smooth surface among the flowers. In fact, there are many stones with this shape here, but none of them are as long, smooth, or as smooth as that one. Big, like a natural bed.
The two came to the stone bed and stood still. Yun Ruojing quickly took off her coat and spread it on the stone bed.
Seeing him act like this, Xiao Ran's heart beat wildly with nervousness.
Yun Ruojing smiled at him, took his hand, and the two of them lay side by side on the stone bed. As far as their eyes could see, they were the full moon hanging in the sky and the faintly visible stars.
The sky and the bright moon are so close, so within reach, in the arms of the stars and the moon, Xiao Ran slowly closed his eyes, thinking of the picture of a beautiful woman under the moon in his living room, his heart ached, and he couldn't help the tears rolling down Down.
Yun Ruojing at the side seemed to sense Xiao Ran's strangeness, hugged him quickly, turned his face, and said softly, "My dear brother, why are you crying?"
Xiao Ran wanted to suppress his crying, but the more he wanted to suppress it, the more tears flowed like a fountain. Yun Ruojing hastily wiped the teardrops off his face with her hands, and coaxed him gently, "My dear brother, don't scare the elder brother. If Brother Xian doesn't like it, Big Brother will carry you back, okay?"
Xiao Ran choked up and said, "It's because Yun Xiaoran has been here before, that elder brother thought of bringing me here."
Yun Ruojing trembled when she heard the words, and then hugged him tightly in her arms, saying, "My dear brother, don't think too much, elder brother wants to make you happy."
Xiao Ran hummed, and buried his head in Yun Ruojing's arms, as if he had been wronged, and was eager to find a place to hide.
Yun Ruojing patted Xiao Ran's shoulder lightly. In his warm embrace, Xiao Ran finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep in a daze.
That night, he seemed to have had many dreams. In the dream, a boy in purple was chasing a boy in white, crying while chasing, "Brother carry me, brother carry me."Every dream is fragmented, like fallen leaves in the wind, falling to the ground without a shadow, or like a flash in the pan, closing in an instant, and those fragments are gone.
A gust of mountain wind blew past, Xiao Ran slowly opened his eyes, and what appeared in front of him were those tender eyes that made people nostalgic, and he couldn't help saying, "Brother, it's dawn."
Yun Ruojing said, "Did you sleep well in the arms of big brother last night?"
Xiao Ran hesitated for a moment, then nodded. At this moment, Dongfang Yunxia was dyed red, and strands of silk shot towards the ground.
Yun Ruojing took his hand and said, "My dear brother, let elder brother carry you down the mountain."
Xiao Ran blushed, and refused, "No, I'm such an adult, I will go down the mountain by myself."
Yun Ruojing smiled softly, and said softly, "Now the water vapor
