Don't go back to hometown

In the warehouse on the outskirts of the city, Liu Dian and Li Xin stood outside the basement, staring at the dim candlelight in a daze.

They were just right enough to hear the conversation inside, only to pick up some indistinct shouts raised in volume.

At first, I could still hear the voice of the man caught by the Young Master groaning and scolding angrily, but then it became quiet and there was no movement.

Liu Dian glanced at the hidden door in the basement, he didn't expect Mr. Xie, who is usually calm and introverted, to have such a stern and gloomy side just now.

But on second thought, to be able to take on the responsibility of the young master of the Xie family at such a young age is definitely not a frail scholar who only understands poetry, etiquette and righteousness.

It's just that that person just called the young master "Xie Linyuan", is it a fake name that the young master uses externally?

Just as he was thinking, Li Xin beside him suddenly called him: "Brother Liu, there's no sound inside, the young master won't take that man—"

He made a gesture to wipe his neck.

Liu Dian was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Not at all, my lord has a sense of propriety."

They used to be members of Ping An Escort Bureau, and they called Jiang Baizhou and Jiang Xianyu "Young Masters", but now they have changed their masters to do things, and they couldn't change their words for a while, and they were afraid of getting confused, so they called Xie Cheng "Young Master".

Li Xin thought for a while, and then asked: "That kind of person. The method of making the leather mask is a bit evil, unlike ordinary people's methods, and there is a loyal king behind that person-do you want to mention this matter to the young master?"

Liu Dian pondered for a moment, then shook his head: "Since the young master is willing to use us, he naturally trusts the Jiang family and our escort agency. We must be worthy of the trust of the young master. Besides, after the young master confesses to us, we will obey the young master's order, as long as it is not true to Jiang. If the family is unfavorable, let's not interfere and follow orders."

What he hasn't said yet is that, judging from the meaning of the young master, the young master should also know the situation of the Jiang family. The Xie family and the Jiang family have long been tied together. If there is something important, the young master will definitely remind the Jiang family. They interrupted.

After hearing this, Li Xin thought it made sense and didn't say anything more.

At this time, the secret door behind him suddenly opened, and he saw the young master standing in the half-lit dark passage with a sullen face, and he could faintly smell a bloody smell.

Liu Dian's heart skipped a beat, and he stepped forward: "My lord."

Xie Cheng raised his eyes and said in a hoarse voice, "Stop the bleeding and send him back to the pharmacy."

Liu Dian was taken aback: "This...doesn't need to be sealed?" The other party has seen the young master's face, so it would be troublesome to just put it back.

Xie Cheng's eyes were gloomy: "He dare not."

Liu Dian and Li Xin looked at each other, answered "Yes", turned and entered the secret passage.

The further in, the stronger the smell of blood.When they entered the basement, they saw the dying man tied to the wooden frame. He only had a sword wound on his shoulder blade, but he lost a lot of blood, and his clothes on half of his body were flushed red.

Liu Dian and Li Xin hurried forward to untie him, but they heard the neighing of a horse from outside.

There is still some time before the city gate is closed, the young master should have rushed back to the city.

Liu Dian and Li Xin didn't delay anymore, they simply stopped Ren Xiaoyao's bleeding, and carried them to the city.

……

Xie Cheng rode his horse and galloped wildly, but his consciousness passed through the night and returned to his previous life.

He had never received a letter from Xiao Yu, nor did he know that Xiao Yu had returned to Yangzhou, and he hadn't...he was engaged to Miss Hu's family.

"I asked him why he didn't come home after wandering for so many years. He said he had been back, but when he heard that you were getting married, he didn't dare to look at it, and he didn't dare to stay."

Ren Xiaoyao's words echoed in his ears, piercing his chest like a sharp knife, piercing his self-righteous attitude of giving.

"Later I told him that you were not married, do you know what he said?" Ren Xiaoyao laughed at him sarcastically, "He said, if you don't even like Miss Hu, then what kind of girl is worthy of her?" you?"

"He didn't dare——Xie Linyuan, he didn't even dare to think about it! Just because you didn't reply, he thought you didn't forgive him, so he didn't even dare to approach you again and ask you for proof!"

"It was you who failed him, Xie Linyuan."

No... no... he didn't know, he didn't know that letter existed.

The hand holding the rein tightened, Xie Cheng gritted his teeth and tightened his jaw, his heart seemed to be pierced by a sharp sword, and blood was gurgling.

……

In Jiang Manor, Jiang Xianyu had just finished washing, leaning on the bedside to look through the list of treasures delivered by the Escort Bureau over the years, to see if there are any rare items, so as to find one to give Xie Cheng a congratulatory gift for getting the crown.

Ye Mingzhu?vulgar!

Jade ornaments?Xie Cheng has mines in his family!

Ancient painting?This one looks good, but a bit pricey.

Jiang Xianyu quickly blinked and counted his private money - can't afford it, the next one -

At this moment, hurried footsteps came from outside the house, Jiang Xianyu immediately turned over and sat up on the bed, and saw the door was pushed open, and a familiar figure stood outside the door.

"Thank you?"

Jiang Xianyu got off the bed and walked towards him, smelling a smell of blood, he was startled: "Are you injured?!"

His voice suddenly tightened, he pulled Xie Cheng to look left and right, then hugged him and touched his chest and back, "Where is the injury?"

Xie Cheng didn't say anything, he raised his right hand to touch his face, but suddenly stopped.

Jiang Xianyu moved his nose slightly and grabbed his wrist. The blood stain on the black sleeve was not conspicuous, but the smell of blood was hard to ignore.

Spreading out his palm again, Jiang Xianyu was startled when he saw the hideous wound with wooden thorns embedded in flesh and blood: "You are injured! How did you do it?"

Xie Cheng still didn't answer, he held his hand with his backhand, stared at him with a good look, his jaw tightened, his eyes gradually turned red and watery.

Jiang Xianyu froze for a moment, raised his heart, took a step closer, carefully opened his right hand to hold it, and unconsciously lowered his voice: "Xie Cheng..."

Xie Cheng's throat choked and choked, and his voice was hoarse when he spoke: "I just... met Ren Xiaoyao."

"He hurt you?" Jiang Xianyu's heart tightened, and he said anxiously: "You - you know that he has ulterior motives, how can you go to see him alone?"

Xie Cheng raised his left hand to caress his face, choked up and said, "He said you had me in your heart in your previous life, and even sent me a letter."

Jiang Xianyu's pupils trembled, and his eyelashes fluttered, "No, don't listen to his nonsense—"

"You still want to lie to me?"

Xie Chenghong questioned him with red eyes, his whole body was trembling, but the hand that caressed Jiang Xianyu's face was always controlled, "If I don't ask him, are you never going to tell me?"

"No..." Jiang Xianyu had a sore nose, held his palm against his cheek, looked at him with red eyes, "I... I know you haven't received it."

It's just that at the beginning, he had a blind eye and only cared about self-pity, and never thought about this possibility.It wasn't until he was by Xie Cheng's side after his death that he realized that Xie Chengying never received that letter at all.

Otherwise, with Xie Cheng's willingness to accept the family law for him at that time, it is impossible not to write back to him no matter what.

Xie Cheng didn't believe his words at all, he held his face in one hand and looked at him, gritted his teeth and said with sobs: "If you knew, you wouldn't run away from home, never enter the house, only believe those rumors, never come ask me."

"If you're willing to ask me...if you're willing to ask me—"

In the previous life, we would not have been separated for several years, life and death.

Jiang Xianyu closed his eyes, pressed his lips tightly to suppress the sobs, and tightly grasped Xie Cheng's wrist.

Xie Cheng held his face closer, and put his forehead against his forehead, explaining and arguing: "I didn't receive the letter, and I never planned to get married, and I didn't want you, how could you—how could you ask and not ask?" Condemn me and leave me alone?"

"Do you know that you took half of my life as soon as you left, driving me crazy?"

I know, I know that you regard me as your life, and you are crazy about me.

But by the time I knew it, it was too late.

Jiang Xianyu finally couldn't hold back the tears, as if there was a knife stuck in his chest, it hurt even to breathe.

"I'm sorry... Xie Cheng, I'm sorry..."

"No, I was wrong."

Xie Cheng held the back of his neck firmly, locked his eyes firmly on him, and let the crazy thoughts in his heart take over his mind, "I shouldn't be angry with you, knowing that you are willful and confused, and let you make up your own mind. I I should tie you by my side and not allow you to go anywhere. Even if you run away, I should tie you back—"

If you break a bone, you have to tie it back, if you hate me, I have to tie it back—no place is safer than my side, no one cares about you more than me, only me—only I deserve to have you.

Own your emotions, your love, the rest of your life, all of you.

It can only belong to me.

His eyes were red, and there were two lines of hot tears on his cheeks, but his eyes were a little crazy, and he looked closely at Jiang Xianyu.

Just like the collapsed appearance after losing Jiang Xianyu in the previous life, this is the appearance Jiang Xianyu least wants to see.

"Okay." Jiang Xianyu looked at him with sobs, and put his arms around his waist, "Tie me up, and don't let me go anywhere."

Xie Cheng was not easily appeased, but hugged him tightly, "That day outside the study door, you heard my father's words, right?"

Jiang Xianyu was stunned, tears were hanging on his eyelashes, and he didn't refute.

Xie Cheng had expected it a long time ago, and forcefully clasped the back of his neck to make him look directly at himself: "Listen, it doesn't matter if you didn't admit it in the past, or you didn't resist my intimacy with you, but from today onwards, don't fool me again."

"I was confused in the previous life. I didn't know what it was until after you left, and I failed to protect you, and I missed the whole life with you. But if you answer me today, I will have no regrets in two lives. I have nothing to ask, and I will guard you For a lifetime."

He paused, and his tone was low: "If you shouldn't, I will never be willing to live in vain in this life. Don't imagine that you will be like a stranger to me in the previous life, and you will die on a different road. No matter where you escape, I will I found you. Even if you don't want to, you can only be tied to me, understand?"

His movements were strong, his tone was domineering, but his trembling eyes betrayed his anxiety.

He was afraid that Jiang Xianyu would shrink back, that he would refuse, that he would not dare to challenge the secular ethics and walk the "wrong path" with him.

Jiang Xianyu smiled, wiped away tears, took a deep breath, climbed onto Xie Cheng's neck, and kissed his lips.

He whispered against Xie Cheng's lips, his words choked with sobs: "I am not willing to live in vain in this life."

So in this life, no one wants to let go.

He devoutly sacrificed to his end of the world and his hometown, his world of mortals.

Then came the hottest kiss in the world.

……

After many days, Jiang Xianyu's bed also welcomed another owner.

That person and its owner grew from a little kid who was like a brother to a tall man, and they still cuddled each other and lay down with their necks intertwined.

Jiang Xianyu lay beside Xie Cheng, grabbed his right hand, touched the gauze wrapped around the wound, suddenly raised his head and kissed his chin, "I have a question."

"Huh?" Xie Cheng had put away his previous gaffe, and looked at him tenderly.

"When were you reborn?"

Xie Cheng: "A few days earlier than you."

Jiang Xianyu was slightly surprised: "Do you know when I am?"

Xie Cheng stroked his eyelashes, with a smile on his lips: "The day Liu Shu left home."

Jiang Xianyu's eyes were itchy from his touch, and he quickly grabbed his hand to protect it, and lay on his side: "Then you really plan to take me to the world that day?"

Xie Cheng stretched out his hand and pulled him into his arms, "Well, I plan to take you to play around for a while, and then persuade you to accompany me to Jinling to take the provincial examination, and then wander all the way to the capital—no matter where you want to go, I will accompany you .”

Jiang Xianyu was stunned for a moment, and asked him again: "What about the previous life? You came to see me that day, did you also plan to follow me?"

Xie Cheng blinked and recalled: "Almost, I will follow your will to accompany you through the adventures. If you are so loyal, you will definitely be willing to accompany me to take the imperial examination."

Jiang Xianyu pursed his lips to hold back his complacency, hummed twice and bowed to him, "Then if you pass the exam and stay in the capital as an official, what should I do?"

Xie Chengdao: "Not all Jinshi can stay in Beijing to hold positions. Most of them will be sent to other places to serve as officials. Only with political achievements can they be promoted. I will do the same in the future."

Jiang Xianyu looked skeptical: "You lied to me! The number one scholar must go to the Imperial Academy, and only in the next day can he enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister."

Xie Cheng pinched his face with a smile, "How do you know I can get the first prize?"

Jiang Xianyu grabbed his troublesome hand and glared at him: "I say yes! Do you dare to try to be the second place in the exam?"

Xie Cheng smiled and kissed his eyes, "Don't coax me like that."

He was indeed in a bad mood today, but the moment the young man kissed him, all the gloomy and crazy thoughts disappeared, and the rest was full of joy without regrets in this life, which made his heart swell, and there was no need for the young man to coax him anymore.

"Who coaxed you?" Jiang Xianyu, who had been read through his thoughts, muttered, his ears began to turn red again, and he hid himself in Xie Cheng's arms, "Sleep, sleep!"

……

Capital, Tianxin Mansion.

A man in black golden truth listening suit was sitting in front of the table, holding a secret letter in his hand.

The door was knocked suddenly, Shen Feng stood outside the door and bowed his head, "Father, are you looking for me?"

The man in front of the table raised his head, revealing a vicissitudes of life and a solemn face, and a pair of eyes that were still sharp in his old age.

He put the secret letter on the candlestick and burned it, and said to Shen Feng: "I will go to the south of the Yangtze River, and you will be the commander for the time being. If you are not sure, please ask Your Majesty for instructions."

Shen Feng was taken aback for a moment, then lowered his head and replied: "Yes."
