"Excuse me, is Master Chu's mansion going in this direction?"

On Changming Lane in the east of the city, Zhao Liangyue took two steps forward holding an umbrella, asking for directions to a father and daughter passing by.

"It's indeed in Changming Lane. Young Master, go a little further and look at Dongdong." The man looked at Zhao Liangyue for a while, saw that his clothes were simple and plain, his manners were modest, and he was quite a gentleman, so he reminded, " The place the young master is going to seems to be not a good place."

Zhao Liangyue nodded his thanks and said with a smile: "It's okay, just a little private matter."

The man didn't say anything else, he bent down and picked up his daughter who was playing in the snow. The daughter shook her head, turned her head and saw Zhao Liangyue, her big eyes blinked, and she asked Zhao Liangyue in a childish voice: "Big brother, your face and hands are red from the cold. ,Is not It Cold?"

Looking at the innocent little girl, Zhao Liangyue felt a little warmth in his heart, and replied softly: "Big brother is not cold."

The little girl nodded, and said again: "It's better to wear thicker clothes, otherwise not only will you be cold, but you will also be beaten by your mother."

Zhao Liangyue laughed when he heard the words, the man pinched his daughter's nose helplessly, looked up at the gray snowy sky, turned his head to Zhao Liangyue and said: "It's freezing cold, we have to go back first, young master take care."

Zhao Liangyue made a little salute, watched the father and daughter leave, saw the man covered the daughter firmly with an umbrella, and hugged her bouncingly to make her happy.

"Let's go, let's go! Your mother made smoked chicken white belly and waited for us today."

"Great!"

Zhao Liangyue stopped and watched until the father and daughter disappeared at the corner of the alleyway, then Zhao Liangyue looked away, slightly reluctant.

Perhaps, in the future, I will also have a wife, a pair of lovely children, and be able to enjoy the most common and hard-to-find warmth in this world.

Zhao Liangyue let out a sigh, turned around and went to the front of the alleyway.

There are many famous families in the west of the city, and the lintels of the mansions are all grand and luxurious. The place in front of Zhao Liangyue is even more magnificent. The vermilion lacquer main entrance is much larger than the surrounding mansions. The word "Fu" is even more eye-catching and eye-catching.Zhao Liangyue felt that this mansion had a flamboyant air, and it was a virtue like its owner.

It's just that there are surprisingly no guards outside the Chu Mansion.

Zhao Liangyue thought for a while, stepped forward and pulled the beast-faced door cymbal, when he was about to knock on the door, the door of the mansion opened from the inside.

The visitor was polite, with alienated eyes, dressed in black clothes and with a sword at his waist. Although he was a guard, he was completely different from the few he had seen before.

"My lord, is your surname Zhao?" The Xuanyi guard glanced at Zhao Liangyue and asked.

"Exactly, my surname is Zhao, and my name is Liang Yue."

The guard in Xuanyi immediately turned sideways to invite: "Young Master Zhao please."

Zhao Liangyue frowned slightly, and asked, "Your family knows I'm coming?"

The guard in Xuanyi didn't speak, and kept the motion of turning sideways to invite.

Zhao Liangyue knew that asking too many questions was fruitless, so he followed him through the door.

Bypassing the screen wall, there is another scene that makes people uproariously. First, there is the extremely exquisite scenery of mountains, forests and flowing water. Incense floats.

Zhao Liangyue followed the guards in Xuanyi through a long corridor, passed through several pavilions and pavilions, and finally came to the backyard. Zhao Liangyue was about to ask something when the guards in Xuanyi stopped in front of the bookstore and opened the door, and invited him attitude.

Zhao Liangyue walked in, and the door closed from behind.

What does this mean?

Zhao Liangyue walked in a few steps slowly in a daze, looked around, but didn't see any figure.

"Xilin, I'm on top."

Zhao Liangyue raised his head to meet the eyes of Chu Bandit who was sitting on the stairs leading to the second floor.

Chu Bandit was dressed in filial piety, with his black hair casually loose, his whole person was very different from his usual flair, and his peach eyes also lost their scorching light because of the sadness.

"Xi Lin, you look at me very differently today." Bandit Chu got up slowly and walked down.

Zhao Liangyue said coldly: "I came today to ask one thing."

At this time, Chu Bandit had already walked in front of Zhao Liangyue. He looked down at Zhao Liangyue's slightly lowered head, the look in his eyes was covered by the eyelashes like a small fan. He couldn't see it, but Zhao Liangyue's anger had not yet erupted. He has really felt it.

Sure enough, before he could speak, Zhao Liangyue said, "I was thinking about the big treason case 13 years ago about the former Minister of Criminal Affairs, Wang Taboo."

Chu bandit said: "I gave you the complete file."

Zhao Liangyue took a deep breath and said loudly, "You know what I want to ask is not this!"

Chu Bandit smiled lightly, and said, "Xilin, why get angry? It's so easy to show your true emotions. How are you going to survive in this capital that eats people but doesn't spit out their bones?"

Zhao Liangyue burst into anger when he heard the words, and suddenly pushed Chu Bandit to the ground. Chu Bandit did not resist, but made a meat pad when both of them fell, and raised his hand to protect Zhao Liangyue's elbow that was about to hit the ground .

"" Zhao Liangyue's eyes were red, his words were trembling, and he was furious. He raised his clenched fists and aimed at Zhao Liangyue, "How can you be his student?"

Chu Bandit looked indifferent, and raised his hand to gently hold Zhao Liangyue's hand, wanting to let go of his fist, but Zhao Liangyue struggled to pull it out, but Chu Bandit held it tightly.

"Xilin, have pity on me, don't ask me about this today, okay?" Chu bandit said in a conferring tone, "Treat me like a mother, she just left, and her bones are still not cold."

Zhao Liangyue thought almost instantly that in the carriage that day, Bandit Chu's face was ashamed when he heard that Concubine De died.

Such a scheming and unpredictable person, at that moment, shed all the disguise, and the expression on A Niang's face was the same as when Dad left - too sudden and too heavy, so that no matter how he faced it, he would just Regrets.

Finally, Zhao Liangyue lowered his arms.

Chu Biao looked straight at him with a pair of dejected peach blossom eyes, a little empty, obviously he didn't reveal anything, but he seemed to have said everything.

"Then another day." Zhao Liangyue turned his eyes away, and then he was about to get up and leave, but Chu Bandit held his hand tightly and wouldn't let go.

"open."

"Don't let go, stay with me today."

While talking, Bandit Chu bent his knees to borrow strength, and led Zhao Liangyue to get up. Before Zhao Liangyue could react, Bandit Chu dragged him to the second floor of Shuge.

On the second floor, Zhao Liangyue found that the place was very empty, except for the straw mat and a table placed on it, there was nothing else.

Bandit Chu looked back at Zhao Liangyue, and said word by word, "Promise me that if you don't leave, I will let you go."

Zhao Liangyue remained silent, neither saying yes nor no.

Because his answer is not important, the person in front of him is a rogue, if he wants to keep him, it will be easy.

Bandit Chu also saw the compromise from Zhao Liangyue's silence, and smiled lightly, as if he was laughing at himself, but with a bit of genuine joy.

After being silent for a long time, Bandit Chu let go of Zhao Liangyue's hand, and walked to a remote corner by himself.

Zhao Liangyue took advantage of the situation to look over, only to find that there was a whole mountain of rice paper piled up in the corner, some old and some new, they were all crumpled into balls and thrown over randomly, probably because the owner was very dissatisfied with the writing.

Bandit Chu bent down to look inside, then picked up something and put it on the table here, Zhao Liangyue noticed that it was a pair of pens and inkstones.

The hair of the writing brush and the ink in the inkstone should have been replaced, but the inkstone box and the pen barrel are already very old, especially the wear of the pen barrel, even the scholar's family in the backcountry can't afford such old parts.

After Bandit Chu arranged the rice paper, he looked up at Zhao Liangyue and said, "Can Xilin grind the ink for me?"

Zhao Liangyue ignored it.

Bandit Chu asked repeatedly: "Can Xilin sharpen the ink for me?"

Zhao Liangyue looked at Bandit Chu, always felt that if he didn't go over, he could keep asking, so he could only sigh lightly, went to sit by the table, raised his hand and began to grind ink.

A faint fragrance of ink floated, and Chu Bandit dipped his pen in the ink to write, but he didn't say anything.

In this way, the two were relatively silent, each with their own thoughts, until a quarter of an hour later, Zhao Liangyue accidentally glanced at the book written by Chu Bandit.

It is "Han Feizi? He Shi Pian".

In the past, if I made a mistake, or couldn't figure it out, the teacher would always make me copy this article as a punishment.

"I don't feel sorry for cutting off. I feel sorry for my husband's precious jade, but I call it a stone, and a chastity is called a lie. That's why I feel sad."

This is one of the lines that the teacher often recited during his lifetime. From it, one can get a glimpse of lifelong long-cherished wishes and lingering grudges.

Now, seeing Chu Bandit writing this article over and over again, Zhao Liangyue had mixed feelings in his heart, and for a moment he didn't know where to start.

Zhao Liangyue looked at the pile of papers in the corner, got up and walked over, picked up a ball of paper and opened it, it was indeed "He Shi Pian".

Chu Bandit's handwriting is very good, the pen is full of ink, and the strength penetrates the back of the paper, but at the same time, the resentment when writing can be seen from these words.

Why is he angry?What is he hating?

Zhao Liangyue looked sideways at Chu Bandit, who was still sitting in this empty room, writing "He Shi Pian" over and over again as he had for countless years, and then veins popped up on his hands, he rubbed it and threw it to the corner.

Was there ever an afternoon when the teacher was still the emperor's teacher at that time, and Chu Bandit was only a teenager, the teacher asked Chu Bandit who made a mistake to copy "He Shi Pian" as he did to himself, and since then this has become the boy's punishment for himself in the future A way, and continues to this day, as a memorial to the deceased.

But Han Ting's words still linger in his ears: "Back then, I betrayed my teacher and got my high salary."

Zhao Liangyue felt that his thoughts were messed up and needed a sharp knife to cut them off.

Another two hours passed, and Chu Bandit was still writing at his desk, until the guard in black came in to remind him to have dinner.

Only then did Chu Bandit put down his pen as if letting himself go, and asked Zhao Liangyue softly: "Xilin, are you hungry?"

"I want to go back." Zhao Liangyue said without hesitation.

Bandit Chu frowned, and quickly stretched it out, saying: "When people eat, their mood will improve, and maybe they will be happy to mention the past."

Zhao Liangyue raised his head to look at Bandit Chu, and saw that his peach blossom eyes were smiling again, with the usual flirtatiousness, as if it wasn't him who was depressed before.

Zhao Liangyue couldn't help sneering: "I'm a little confused now, how long can Master Chu wear this filial attire."

Bandit Chu laughed out loud, raised his hand and took off the filial piety outside, saying: "Don't be confused, I've already taken it off now."

Zhao Liangyue just felt that he couldn't understand this person even more.

"Lord Chu is already in a good mood, so I don't need to accompany you, I just went back." Zhao Liangyue was about to leave, and Chu bandit said behind his back, "Xi Lin really doesn't want to know, after the big case in Kyoto 13 years ago, Is there something not written on the file?"
