Jiangshan side

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, almost smashing through the ground. The four of them used the cover of the maple forest to cover their needs and walked through the mountains to find a hidden place.

"Help the Lord." Bailige shouted, and quickly covered the opponent's head with his cloak.

"What are you doing, General?" Fuxi pursed her lips, and just about to tear off the cloak to keep out the rain was covered again by Bailige.

"Be obedient." Bailige softened his tone and shook Fuxi's hand quietly.

"What are you going to do?" Fuxi frowned slightly.

"The general is marching and fighting, a little rain is nothing, you wear it." Bailige said easily and strode away.

Looking at Bailige's back, Fuxi's heart warmed up, and without saying anything, she subconsciously quickened her pace and walked side by side with Bailige.

Guan Yixiao shivered, and saw the red string and white beads tightly held in Mu Jingnian's hand, so he reached out to grab them.But Mu Jingnian held it tightly and didn't let go, so he couldn't help but say nicely: "Hao Jingnian, give me my things, it's my treasure."

Mu Jingnian glanced at him, his eyes were like the deep sea in the cold rain, as if trying to penetrate his soul, making Guan Yixiao feel flustered.

After a long while, Mu Jingnian freed a hand and took out an object from the lapel of his clothes, it was actually a red string and white beads, no different from Guan Yixiao's.

Guan Yixiao was stunned, and cautiously reached out to touch the object that was soon soaked by rain, holding it in the palm of his hand, looked and looked, and then looked at the object in Mu Jingnian's hand.He raised his head to look at Mu Jingnian's face, but he couldn't find a trace of familiarity, it must have been transformed in more than ten years.

But at this moment, Mu Jingnian actually smiled, a trace of warmth appeared on his icy handsome face that was drenched by rain, he looked at him and said, "Xiaoxiao."

When Guan Yixiao heard this name, his whole body trembled, as if the whole country was shaking, he stretched out his hand in disbelief and squeezed Mu Jingnian's face: "You are... Xiaonian?"

The man was born in Xiao'an, wearing a pair of red string and white beads, about three or four years younger than him.They are both orphans in exile in Beijing. They wandered with him more than ten years ago, begging for food for a living until he was ten years old and one year old.Later, due to the war, they were torn apart, and each side of the world only used this token to match—he thought that the other party had died in the war, but unexpectedly, they met again more than ten years later.

Seeing his surprised look, Mu Jingnian only said: "Mu Jingnian is the name that Master later adopted."

Guan Yixiao patted his face, then squeezed his own, and suddenly hugged him and burst out laughing, especially in the rain, the laughter pierced through the mountains.

Reunion in troubled times, could it be fate cultivated for thousands of years?

The four of them found a dilapidated temple to shelter from the rain along the road, and finally had a temporary resting place.His whole body was wet and cold, so he didn't care to say anything, he immediately found hay to light a fire, and took off his clothes to dry.

Seeing that everyone was busy with their own affairs, Bailige hurriedly walked to Fuxi's side, lowered his voice and said distressedly: "Did you catch the cold?"

"It's okay, I'm not a weak man." Fuxi smiled softly.

Bailige pressed his face to Fuxi's forehead, and he was relieved that the other person's skin was not very cold: "I'll go home later and soak in hot water, and then drink some ginger soup to drive away the cold."

"It's okay, don't worry." Fuxi smiled reassuringly.

"I want to hug you." Bailige looked at Fuxi affectionately.

"Let's dry the clothes first." Fuxi gave Bailige a funny look, and sat by the fire by himself.

Bailige sighed helplessly, and sat down next to Fuxi, the two of them were silent but they were the most reassuring company.

On the other side, with a smile on his lips, Guan Yixiao took off his coat slowly, squatted beside Huo Miao leisurely, and called Yue Ran next to Mu Jingnian.

Bailige saw his strange expression, and saw that Mu Jingnian's face was soft, so he asked, "What's wrong with you two?"

"Brother," Guan Yixiao pulled Mu Jingnian, rolled his eyes with a smile and said, "I just found out that we knew each other before."

Bailige looked at the two of them and said, "I heard you yelling just now, so what do you say?"

After hearing this, Guan Yixiao rubbed Mu Jingnian's hair with a smile, changed from his rivalry a few days ago, and said surprisingly softly: "In the past, we were both homeless orphans, and we were separated after the war. We met again because of tokens."

"Didn't you say you came from Beijing?" Bailige asked.

"The two of us were both in Beijing before, and after we separated, I worshiped famous actors in Beijing as my teachers. After I finished my studies, I came to the field." Call me brother Xiaoxiao~"

"There are many coincidences in the world," Bailige said with a light smile, "That's fine, don't make things difficult for Ah Jing in the future."

"How can I make things difficult for him?" Guan Yixiao patted Mu Jingnian's shoulder with a sweet smile: "I, Guan Yixiao, was really lucky today, I found my younger brother, and sure enough, staying by my brother's side will bring good things!"

Bailige coughed twice: "It doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it?"

"Yes, yes, yes~" Guan Yixiao began to wink at Bailige again with a smile, and suddenly remembered something, and asked, "Xiao Nian, where did you go after that?"

Although Mu Jingnian's voice was still cold, but his face was gentle, he replied: "I was later rescued by a knight surnamed Huo, so I worshiped him as my teacher."

"Ah Jing, I think you have strange martial arts, which sect do you belong to?" Bailige asked with great interest.

"This martial art is called Wuhuamen. It is said that it existed hundreds of years ago before Jingwu Emperor Zuoqiuyan unified the Jingguo. It has a history of hundreds of years."

"It turns out to be Wuhuamen martial arts," Fu Xi nodded and said, "I also understood it when I was reading Unofficial History. The disciples of this Wuhuamen are all surnamed Huo, and the master of this school is said to have exploded and died when Emperor Jingwu ruled. Most of his disciples were also killed in battle, but he did not expect to pass this set of martial arts down."

After hearing this, Bailige laughed and said: "Later it was heard that a disciple from the Wuhua Sect came out of the mountain long before, and it seems that this martial art was passed down from him."

"This story sounds interesting." Guan Yixiao was very excited, and took Mu Jingnian's hand to look at it again, and said: "Xiao Nian, I didn't expect to see you in more than ten years, and I have grown so old and my martial arts are so strong. Just now I saw that you were using fingering, and what, the trick of turning one sword into many swords, it's amazing!"

Mu Jingnian allowed him to hold his hands, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up.

At this moment, there was the sound of rolling wheels outside the temple gate, followed by the sound of dismounting footsteps, and then a man dressed in fine clothes slowly walked into the temple.

He looked at the four of them, raised his eyebrows in surprise and said, "What a coincidence, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet here!"

The person who came was Wan Tengzhong, the Sixth Prince of Houye, the brother of the current King of Houye, accompanied by a delicate and quiet woman, probably to visit the scenery with this beauty.

"Master Zhong~" Guan Yixiao immediately jumped up when he saw him, walked up to him in a pretty way and said joyfully, "Why did Lord Zhong also come to enjoy the maple for an outing? Eh~ who is this girl?"

"Hahaha, how does Guan Guan feel about the new beauty Qiao'er I bought?" Wan Chengzhong burst out laughing.

"Tsk, my lord really only sees the newcomers laughing, but not the old ones crying~" Guan Yixiao said that he was about to hug that Wanqizhong, but the latter blocked it with a fan with a smile, and said, "Guan Guan Ah, now that you are a member of General Baili, I dare not move this hall."

"Oh, I almost forgot." Guan Yixiao stuck out her tongue and said with a charming smile, "Could it be that Prince Zhong has ignored Guan Guan since then?"

Wan Chengzhong sighed, glanced at Bailige pointedly and said, "That must be approved by General Baili."

Bailige stood up, looking at this unexpected visitor vigilantly, while Mu Jingnian frowned slightly on his indifferent face when he saw that Guan Yixiao was so close to him.

"Prince Zhong is also a good-looking talent, but Guan Guan still loves the general," Guan Yixiao sighed softly, and said with a smile like a flower: "The word love is a headache."

"It seems that Guan Guan came out with General Baili today," said Wan Chengzhong, then he cast his eyes on Fuxi, raised his eyebrows and said, "Yo, envoy of Nanping, Lord Fu is also here."

"My lord is very polite." Fuxi got up and bowed gracefully, "General Baili will take you on a trip, and appreciate the beauty of Houye."

"Hahaha, the mountains and rivers are beautiful and the people are even more beautiful after me. Master Fu will never miss leaving." Wan Qi Zhong Le blossomed.

Guan Yixiao walked up to Mu Jingnian, took his hand and said, "This is Guan Guan's foster brother, Mu Jingnian, the lord laughs at me."

"It turned out to be Guan Guan's adopted brother, no wonder he was born with a good skin." Wan Qizhong laughed lewdly.

"Hey, Prince Zhong, please don't mess around, this is my Guan Guan's younger brother." Guan Yixiao pouted and stood in front of Mu Jingnian with a protective face.

"Don't worry, Guan Guan's face has to be given, hahahaha!" Wan Chengzhong shook his fan and laughed.

Guan Yixiao also laughed along with him: "Hehe, that's what I like about Prince Zhong!"

Just as they were frolicking here, a dry cough came from the corner: "Ahem..."

Bailige subconsciously rushed to Fuxi's side, and said worriedly: "Why are you coughing, and you said you didn't catch a cold?"

Fuxi frowned, pushed Bailige, and said strangely: "General Baili is worrying too much, it's just an old illness."

"General Baili cares about Mr. Fu so much." Wan Chengzhong shook his fan and joked casually.

Baili Ge didn't change his face, he didn't change his face: "Your Majesty asked the minister to treat Mr. Fu, if something happened to Mr. Fu, how should I explain to His Majesty."

"My king understands that Mr. Fu is a distinguished guest of our country, so the general should naturally care about it." Wan Qizhong suddenly laughed, "It's better to meet by chance than to invite each other. This king has important matters to discuss with the general. I wonder if the general can take a step to speak?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone had different expressions, and in the end it was Bailige who broke the silence: "Okay, my lord, please."

The two walked to a Buddhist hall behind the ruined temple, and remained silent for a long time, the sound of the pattering rain outside was even more chilling.

"General Baili, don't fall into the trap." Wan Qizhong said abruptly.

"Oh?" Bailige looked at Wan Chengzhong indifferently with a half-smile.

"This king is talking about the man Fuxi." Wan Chengzhong seemed very concerned, "General Baili is the pillar of our country. If he is really deceived by Fuxi, I will be in chaos."

"How does the lord know that I was cheated by Fuxi?" Bailige didn't think so.

"This king is just worried." Wan Chengzhong sighed softly.

"If that's the case, the prince doesn't have to worry, I naturally know that I am the general of the back field." Baili Ge said indifferently.

"That's good... that's good..." Wan Chengzhong murmured, rolling his eyes, and asked tentatively, "Does the general know that grain officer Zheng Feng has embezzled military supplies?"

"I've heard a little bit, isn't this matter going to Dali Temple for investigation?" Baili Ge said seemingly indifferently.

"This Zheng Feng is the imperial concubine's distant cousin. Your Majesty loves the imperial concubine so much, how could it be possible for Dali Temple to really investigate." Wan Qizhong sighed, "This man embezzles the army's food and grass, pity the soldiers of my army who are hungry and cold , how can the general bear it."

"I don't know what the prince wants to say?" Baili Ge was a little impatient.

"There are treacherous ministers and concubines around His Majesty today, and the general holds heavy troops, so he should..." Wan Qizhong whispered more and more quietly, his eyes were strange, "On the side of Qing Jun..."

"This general is only concerned with defending against foreign enemies. I don't care about your Majesty's family affairs. What's more, even if it is the Qing emperor's side, it is the imperial family's internal affairs. This general is not the emperor's relatives or state relatives. What does the Qing emperor have to do with this general?" Bailige sneered, and then turned around. Leaving did not give Wan Chengzhong a chance to speak.

Tuliu Wan Tengzhong stood where he was, with a strange and unpredictable expression.
