Hengnan is windy
Chapter 1 When I arrived at the barracks, I saw the soldiers who stayed behind rushing around in a h
'Hanan' is gone. "
"Five years." Huo Feng raised his eyes, the sunlight leaking from the window seemed to be a gift from this midsummer.
"Yeah, it's been five years, Brother Xiaofeng, I couldn't believe it when you came back that day. You started to wrap yourself up tightly, and I was just suspicious for a while." Chen Ning smiled, " However, Brother Xiaofeng, the major general is happier than anyone else when you are back."
"Ah Ning." Huo Feng caressed the edge of the table, but his gaze seemed to look far away through the window, "Tell me something about Situ in the past few years."
Chen Ning nodded, and said: "Brother Xiaofeng, you must have never thought of it, Captain Li is actually the bandit leader who fought with the Major General back then..."
☆, Hanan
1 In Chen Ning's impression, Situ Hengnan was just an unexpected visitor at first.
At first, he only heard that brother Xiaofeng's friend in the imperial city visited, but he only met this person after a while.
At first he called himself "Yunan", but he didn't worry about whether this was his real name, anyway, he was a "noble man".
Because this nobleman not only described his temperament as being different, but also wore a long sword with silver patterns on his black body, and there was a lot of gold in his bag.
Ordinary people come to the southwest from a place as far away as the imperial city, and they are afraid that they will have to toss for a long time.But this young man seemed to have a clear route, and he was also riding a red-maned horse, so naturally it didn't take that long.
It was only later that he found out that this "noble man" was actually Situ Hengnan, the only son of the Great General of Zhen Guo at that time.
And the handsome girl who made him unforgettable was Situ Xing'er, the daughter of the General's Mansion.
In the early morning when the brilliant clouds rose, he heard a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw Situ Hengnan.
Situ Hengnan looked anxious, and his mount, Kaifeng, was still roaring not far behind, stamping its hooves anxiously.
"Master Situ?" Chen Ning looked at him strangely, "Have you found Brother Xiaofeng?"
He went out for a while this morning, and when he came back, he heard that Situ Hengnan had been looking for Huo Feng for a long time.
"Chen Ning, do you want to join the army?" Chen Ning didn't expect Situ Hengnan to ask this.
"Huh?" He was just a little surprised.
Situ Hengnan had a serious face, which made his star eyes even more majestic.
"You are talented and can serve." Situ Hengnan relaxed his expression, "I heard by chance that you also want to fight with the northern tribes. Now, they have reached an alliance and want to invade the border. You want to fight ?"
"willing!"
Chen Ning's heart also ignited a flame.
When Situ Hengnan saw his firm gaze, he also nodded.
"However, I still have to inform my parents." Chen Ning calmed down slightly.
Although he is not the youngest son in the family, of course he can't just leave.
"Take this, and come to the General's Mansion to find me." Situ Hengnan handed him a small jade pendant with gold patterns.
"Okay." Chen Ning replied.
After discussing with her parents and elder brother, Chen Ning packed her bags and prepared to leave, but she left in a hurry.
This was the first time in his life that he left Huojia Village, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to come back.
Thinking of this, it is inevitable that there is some sadness in my heart.
He hurriedly put away this reluctance and clenched his fists tightly.
After wandering around for a while, he finally came to the outer city of the imperial city.
This place is completely different from the tranquility and nature of the village, but very lively.Passers-by filled the streets, and he carefully protected his baggage.
Fortunately, he has also read a lot of books and learned some Mandarin, and his inquiries all the way went smoothly. In the end, he successfully found the Zhen Guo General's Mansion.
There were two government soldiers standing at the door, and several teams of soldiers and horses were patrolling alternately outside the door.
He carefully took out the jade pendant on his chest, and only then mustered up his courage to take that step.
"Brother, I'm looking for Mr. Situ."
The mansion guard guarding the door took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and asked another mansion soldier beside him with some uncertainty: "Look, this is the jade pendant of the young master, right?"
Another mansion soldier came over and carefully identified it, finally nodded and said: "Exactly."
The two of them sized Chen Ning up again, and finally exchanged glances with worry on their faces.
One of them said, "The young man wait a moment."
Chen Ning also felt a little strange, but didn't say much.
After a while, the previous soldier came back and said, "Young Master, please."
Chen Ning then followed the soldiers into the banquet hall in the palace, and the soldiers asked him to wait here.
Not long after, it was not Situ Hengnan who appeared, but Situ Xing'er.
She was also worried at first, but she was still very polite, she smiled at him and said: "So it's you, Mr. Chen."
Situ Xing'er has changed a lot, but she still likes the red-gold clothes.
Bright eyes and vermilion lips added a bit of slender posture.
She should, and it's almost time.
Just thinking like this, Xing'er's voice came again: "You were recruited by my brother, you should be enlisting in the army. But now my brother..."
"What's wrong with Mr. Situ?" Chen Ning stood up suddenly, a little anxious.
"Don't worry, it's just that my brother... my brother was punished by my father... the family law..." Situ Xing'er said, her voice was a little choked up, "I'm... recovering from my injuries, so it's inconvenient to see people."
"Miss Situ, don't be sad." Seeing Xing'er holding back her tears, Chen Ning felt unhappy in her heart.
"But why would Mr. Situ be punished?" Chen Ning was puzzled and asked subconsciously.
Xing'er wiped her eyes lightly, and then said: "Brother rejected Shen's marriage contract, angered Prime Minister Shen and the young masters of Shen's family. He also said... other things that made Dad angry, and he was sent to the court a few days ago. Grandmother overheard. Daddy eventually beat brother."
"Then...can I go and see Mr. Situ?" Chen Ning was very worried when she heard that.
At that time, Situ Hengnan had a lot of white gauze wrapped around his head, his upper body was covered with medicinal powder, and he lay on the bed, motionless for a while.
"Brother." Myolie went over with a bowl of water, and Situ Hengnan beckoned to her to put it aside.
Seeing her brother's scars, Xing'er couldn't help but burst into tears again.
Not only Xing'er, but even Chen Ning's expression was very moved.
The scar was a big "fork" stretching across Situ Hengnan's back.
Apart from these two shocking scars, Situ Hengnan's face and arms were slightly bruised.
At this moment, Situ Hengnan turned sideways with difficulty, saw that it was Chen Ning, and said, "It's Chen Ning."
Then he said to Xing'er: "Give me some hospitality, and then take Chen Ning to Mrs. Yan, and tell her that I recommended you."
After Situ Hengnan finished speaking, his complexion became a little pained.
Xing'er anxiously told him to lie down, and then took Chen Ning out.
2 After Chen Ning joined the army, she didn't get the chance to go into battle at first. Like many other small soldiers, she was on duty at night.
It had been more than a few months since the attack on the Northern Land Alliance, before Situ Hengnan arrived on the battlefield and assumed the post of Major General.
It was also because of Situ Hengnan that Chen Ning had the chance to really fight, and finally got the chance to lead the elite Qingqi.
In the past few years, large and small have fought several battles with the Northland Alliance, and it was not easy at the beginning.
By chance, Situ Hengnan didn't seem to care much about the scar when he mentioned it.
"Forgive me for being rude, the general was too cruel to the major general at that time. Moreover, it was at a critical moment when the Northern Land Alliance invaded the Central Plains, this..."
"Don't say that." Situ Hengnan looked calm, "Father is really angry and wants me to repent. But the Northern Land Alliance seems loose and easy to break, but you see we have been fighting for so long, and who is on both sides?" It didn't take advantage of it either."
Chen Ning nodded thoughtfully.
Situ Hengnan then smiled and said: "In the eyes of my father, I'm still a child. He...in fact, he didn't want me to kill the enemy so early in the morning. This method is indeed worse, but it can also stop Youyou's mouth. "
"The general's heart..." Chen Ning sighed.
"Sigh at such a young age, everything is over." Situ Hengnan suddenly patted him on the head, "The battle is over, we must have a good drink!"
At the beginning, Situ Hengnan did not get the support of the army.
Until one battle, Situ Hengnan led a team of iron cavalry to kill a bloody road, and directly took the head of Qi Yan, a sturdy female general who had been a headache for the enemy's general Situ for a long time.
Chen Ning will always remember that day, the major general's face was thick with blood, and his eyes were also clouded with blood.
Situ Hengnan held his head in one hand, and raised the fallen battle flags with the other.
Chen Ning will always remember that moment when the major general became the real major general he was willing to die for, and he shouted together with thousands of other soldiers: "The major general is mighty!"
They used the barren land as graves for sacrificed warriors, erected monuments with broken swords, and sacrificed with blood and strong wine.
During the 3rd World War, Chen Ning was also lucky enough to see Xing'er who came to visit the general and major general.
But he didn't want the first battle to end, and when the first battle broke out again, Situ Xing'er sneaked into the army halfway.
On the battlefield, the soldiers are in chaos, the arrows are chaotic, and the swords are flying.
But it was probably also a matter of fate, in this chaos, he saw her who was too pretty.
It was also at that time that he blocked an arrow for her and killed the person who almost hurt her.
But even though she blocked an arrow, she still suffered some injuries.
"Chen Ning, thank you." After finally returning to the camp safely, Xing'er thanked her solemnly, "I know my martial arts are not good at all, I will go back right away, so I won't cause trouble for you. You must not tell daddy and brother."
Chen Ning nodded solemnly.
Situ Xing'er then smiled, as beautiful and moving as when they first met.
"I really didn't expect that Miss Situ can also kung fu." Chen Ning also smiled.
"Call me Xing'er." Situ Xing'er smiled, and then lay relaxed on his side in the tent, as if he had completely forgotten the danger of life and death just now. "I practiced it when I was young, but I gave up after practicing. Later, I practiced again." After a while, I was scolded by my mother."
Chen Ning didn't answer for a while, but Situ Xing'er said anxiously: "Are you also like your mother, thinking that your daughter's family shouldn't touch these things?"
Chen Ning shook her head seriously and said, "Of course not, Situ... Myolie, you must have someone you want to protect, so you can practice martial arts."
"Yes." Myolie laughed again.
"If you don't mind, call me 'A Ning'." Chen Ning clenched her fists slightly before summoning up the courage to say.
"Okay, Ah Ning." Myolie's smile became brighter.
4 Chen Ning naturally also knew that the major general raised many horses, but all the names he personally chose had the word "wind" in them.
Sifeng, Nianfeng, Xunfeng... and the horse Hufeng, which became his later mount.
And according to some of Xing'er's words, probably the words that made General Situ angry were related to brother Xiaofeng.
He walked in a hurry, and wanted to tell Huo Feng, but he couldn't be seen for a while, so he could only set foot on the road.
Except for a few major lieutenants in the army, most of the soldiers would know that the major general must have an unforgettable sweetheart.
Therefore, there are often various rumors in the military.
Probably only a few people know who that person is.
☆, explore
1 Several major captains led several teams to search the inner city and outer city for four days. Although the scope of the search was not small, it had to be concealed, so the search could not be unrestrained and the strength was limited.
"Major General." Lieutenant Lin stepped forward and gave a slight salute, shaking his head.
The rest of the lieutenants looked at each other, seeing that Lieutenant Lin who came back to report the situation at the end had no results, they all looked at Situ Hengnan who was sitting cross-legged.
If it hadn't been reported by an informant that the boy who was suspected to be an orphan of Beitu had appeared in the downtown area, Situ Hengnan would have found it hard to believe that the boy was actually in the imperial city, and he didn't have to spend a lot of time looking for it for days and nights.
"The big hermit hides in the city, and the little hermit hides in the wild." Situ Hengnan murmured a word while thinking.
"What did you say, Major General?" Captain Li didn't hear clearly for a moment.
"It's nothing." Situ Hengnan stood up, "I was just thinking about what they were trying to do in the imperial city."
The five captains also thought for a while when they heard this.
Captain Zhou thought for a while, and said, "Maybe there is nowhere to go, and the child is also very poor."
Lieutenant Wu disagreed, saying: "That military adviser is not an ordinary person. Even if staying in the imperial city is just a stopgap measure, I'm afraid something big will happen because of them in the future."
Chen Ning nodded, but when she heard someone knocking on the door of this tea room, she asked vigilantly, "Who?"
"My lord, a gentleman surnamed Huo is here to look for you." It was the shop waiter.
Chen Ning and Situ Hengnan looked at each other, and seeing Situ Hengnan nodded, she opened the door of the tea room and said, "Please come up, sir."
"Yes." Xiao Er bowed her waist, then stomped downstairs.
After a while, Huo Feng came upstairs.
Several school lieutenants winked at each other, and then Li Xiaowei said in a strange way: "Young general, the battle is finally over, and you are in a hurry to find someone when you come back. Can you give us a few days off?"
Lieutenant Li touched Captain Zhou with his elbow, and Captain Zhou raised his eyebrows, and echoed somewhat ignorantly: "Yes, Major General, I can't find this person at the moment, why don't you discuss it with Mr. Huo first Discuss the countermeasures, and we will go to run errands again. People who come and go in the city have been strictly checked in the past few days, and it is not easy to escape."
Captain Zhou did not expect the other captains to nod in approval.
What did he say right by mistake?
Captain Li pushed him towards the door of the tea room. Captain Lin and Captain Wu looked at each other amusedly. Chen Ning waved at Situ Hengnan, seemingly helpless.
"You just went back like this? I will let you rest, but you should stop." Situ Hengnan rushed to the door, but several captains were already downstairs.
"Major General, Mr. Huo is here, how can you tolerate us in your eyes?" After hearing Li Xiaowei's joking words, the four of them disappeared.
Chen Ning arched her hands and said, "I'll go back first, Major General."
"Hey, Chen..." Before Situ Hengnan could shout, the door of the tea room was already closed.
"Situ, I'm sorry." Huo Feng broke the silence for a few seconds.
"Zixin?" Situ Hengnan didn't expect Huo Feng to apologize, his dark pupils were filled with guilt.
"The troubles you caused, and... I heard that you are very depressed these days. I'm sorry." Huo Feng narrowed his eyes, "It's not that I don't trust you, I think, when the time is right, I will take care of some things told you."
"Yeah." Situ Hengnan's eyes were rarely dodged, "I'm not unhappy at all, and even if I'm unhappy, it's not because of you."
Huo Feng smiled, and said, "Your unhappiness is all written on your face."
"Ah?" Situ Hengnan touched his face, "This..."
"I lied to you." Huo Feng smiled slightly, "In those two days, you were so anxious, thank you very much."
Situ Hengnan didn't laugh, that "thank you" really touched his heart.
"The prison in Dali Temple is actually not that scary. Fu Siqing is not an unreasonable and stupid official, not to mention there are jurors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department. Mr. Shen's evidence is not completely reliable, but the procedures that should be followed are still there. If you have to go, shut me up first."
Huo Feng explained seriously that Situ Hengnan actually didn't pay much attention to these words.
Is it so polite between them?
"I was entrusted with sampling and developing those weapons." Seeing that Situ Hengnan just nodded slightly, Huo Feng continued to explain in a serious manner.
"Zixin, you don't need to tell me thank you, and don't... tell me you're sorry."
At this moment, Situ Hengnan scratched his hair with some embarrassment, and finally spoke out his heart.
Huo Feng didn't expect Situ Hengnan to say that, so he slightly lowered his voice and said, "Old lady..."
Situ Hengnan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Grandmother contracted a cough and passed away five years ago."
Unexpectedly, when it came to coughing, Situ Hengnan accidentally coughed himself.
Seeing this, Huo Feng quickly poured a glass of water to Situ Hengnan, and patted him on the back.
"Situ, your injury is still not healed."
Huo Feng frowned, but he didn't expect Situ Hengnan to hug him, and the cup in his hand fell on the carpet.
2 "Zixin."
Situ Hengnan called out to Huo Feng, but did not immediately continue speaking.
"Zixin, the days I miss the most are the days with you in the southwest." Situ Hengnan held Huo Feng's hand, "If these things are over, can we wander the world together?"
"Situ, no."
Huo Feng gently held Situ Hengnan's warm hand, and said: "You should start a family and continue to live in the imperial city. You are a wealthy man, and now you are far away from killing, you should be stable."
"You know, being with you is the peace in my heart." Situ Hengnan frowned, and the hand holding Huo Feng tightened a little.
"It's impossible for you not to have a family." Huo Feng's black pupils were full of helplessness, "Besides..."
Situ Hengnan was about to say something more, but there was someone visiting outside the door.
"My lord." A low and hoarse voice said, "I have news, and he is still in the inner city."
"Where exactly?" With a light cough, Situ Hengnan let go of Huo Feng.
"Jinxiang." The informant replied.
"I'll be there soon." Situ Hengnan said.A shadow swayed, and the informant disappeared.
"Zixin, you go back first." Situ Hengnan took Huo Feng's hand, "I'll send someone to see you off."
"No, I'll go with you." Huo Feng's eyes were firm.
"No need." Situ Hengnan turned his face away, but took advantage of the situation and dragged Huo Feng downstairs.
There is a carriage outside the door that seems to have been waiting for a long time.
"Send Mr. Huo back."
After Situ Hengnan ordered, the coachman nodded.
"Zixin, go back quickly." Situ Hengnan looked at Huo Feng seriously, and said softly.
Huo Feng did not refuse, and said, "Be careful."
"Ah."
Watching the carriage gradually going away, Situ Hengnan went to Jinxiang alone with peace of mind.
It wasn't until the edge of Jinxiang that the informant showed up to lead the way.
When approaching the destination, the informant disappeared in the darkness.
Situ Hengnan quietly looked around.Jinxiang is a relatively densely populated area in the imperial city, and here is a remote place in Jinxiang. The bustle of the day has faded away, and it is very quiet at night.
He knocked on the door of a house in front of him, but no one answered.
Situ Hengnan noticed someone approaching quickly behind him, so he quickly took a step sideways.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be just a young boy.
Maybe he rushed over with a dagger in his hands, but missed again, and the dagger fell head-on to the door.
The little boy pulled it out vigorously for a long time, and then he finally released it.
Even though his hands were trembling, he held the dagger tightly and stared at Situ Hengnan fiercely.
"You are Bei..." Before Situ Hengnan could finish his sentence, the young boy swung his dagger and slashed at him.
Situ Hengnan dodged a few attacks with a steady pace, and then said, "The orphan of Beitu?"
The little boy didn't give up at all, and swung his dagger again to stab him.
Situ Hengnan grabbed the boy's weak wrist and removed the dagger.
The little boy was still staring at him viciously, with unwillingness in his eyes.
"You..." Situ Hengnan was about to say something when the little boy opened his mouth wide and bit his hand unceremoniously.
"Tsk..." Situ Hengnan was in pain, but he made a gesture first to tell the informant not to act rashly.
It took a lot of effort for Situ Hengnan to lift the little boy away, and after shaking his hands twice, the pain in the tiger's mouth became more intense.
The little boy didn't let go of any gaps, and immediately picked up the dagger and rushed into the deep alley.
"Hey."
Situ Hengnan didn't expect a young boy to run so fast, so he immediately followed.
Situ Hengnan followed Zhishen Lane, but it seemed as if he had merged into a lake. Something brushed past his face quietly, as soft as water.
There were a few crisp sounds of the rings hitting each other in the ears, and he secretly cried out that he was not good, and fell helpless for a while.
It seemed that there was a force pulling him and dragging him into a dream.
☆, puppet art
1 When Huo Feng rushed to Jinxiang, he didn't find Situ Hengnan for a while.
A fast-moving black shadow suddenly stopped beside him, caressing his chest, as if he was injured, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Huo, son, something is wrong."
"Tell me where your son is." Huo Feng suppressed the faint uneasiness in his heart.
"In the deep alley ahead." The informant continued, "Sir, don't worry, don't act rashly and let me quickly find our people around."
Huo Feng nodded lightly, but after waiting for the informant to leave, he walked towards the deep alley.
"Student!"
In the deep alley, Situ Hengnan's back seemed to condense into a darker ink in the night, but he was trembling.
"Situ." Huo Feng approached, but was pushed away by Situ Hengnan.
"Hurry up... go away, go away." Situ Hengnan stood up with difficulty, muttering.
"Situ?" Huo Feng staggered a few steps, but he didn't expect that Situ Hengnan had already swung the long sword in his hand.
"No..." Situ Hengnan had blue veins protruding from his forehead, dripping with sweat, holding the hand holding the long sword in one hand, his body was still trembling.
"Zixin, let's go..." Situ Hengnan almost couldn't control himself, so he stabbed himself with a sword.
"Situ!" Huo Feng's heart was pounding.
In the past few years, traveling abroad, it is difficult to be so overwhelmed.
Huo Feng searched for information about this situation in his mind, but for a moment he couldn't remember what such a sorcery was, where he saw it, and how to break it.
"Puppet art, Xiaofeng, avoid it!"
A thick voice came from above his head, and Huo Feng was pulled back five steps away.
"Don't get close to him for the time being. Situ Hengnan is quite determined, otherwise the sword must have been aimed at you."
The visitor patted Huo Feng on the shoulder to show comfort.
"Cousin." Huo Feng saw that it was Huo Ling, as if he saw hope.
"Don't worry, puppetry is a sorcery that consumes one's own lifespan, it cannot last for too long, and those who use it..."
Huo Ling paused, held his breath, held his breath, and threw a short blade with his sleeves.
There was a rustling sound from the roof, and after a scream, a young boy rolled down, and Huo Ling hurriedly grabbed him.
Unexpectedly, the little boy held a dagger in his hand, and insisted on waving it randomly with his weak strength.
"I didn't expect it to be such a small child."
Huo Ling frowned, dodged the young boy's attack, and knocked the young boy unconscious with a single palm.
Huo Feng ran towards Situ Hengnan, and Situ Hengnan who passed out together with the young boy let go of the sword and fell into Huo Feng's arms.
"Situ, Situ!"
Looking at Situ Hengnan's pale face, Huo Feng's heart suddenly tightened.
"Xiaofeng, don't worry, this puppet technique only consumes the essence of the person, and it will not endanger life in essence. I am afraid that his self-stabbing sword is a bit heavy, so quickly find a place to heal the injury."
Huo Feng put Situ Hengnan's arm on his shoulder, and slowly helped Situ Hengnan up.
"But that child..." Huo Feng looked at the dying young boy, "He should be the orphan of Beitu."
Huo Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? The youngest son of the Beitu patriarch?"
"Situ came here just looking for this child."
Huo Ling heard this, and said, "Okay. This child can't die, I know, cousin. You support Situ Hengnan first, this child is too dangerous, I will carry it first."
It just so happened that when the two were about to leave, the informant led Chen Ning over.
"Brother Xiaofeng, brother Ling!"
When Chen Ning saw the two of them, she quickly got off her horse.
"A Ning, the orphan of Beitu was found, but Situ was injured." Huo Feng supported Situ Hengnan, walking a little slowly.
Chen Ning took Situ Hengnan and said, "Come to my residence to heal your wounds first."
Huo Feng followed into the carriage, Chen Ning led the way on a horse, and Huo Ling followed behind on another horse with the orphan of Beitu. The destination was the new mansion.
Situ Hengnan frowned in pain during a jolt.
"Situ." Huo Feng held Situ Hengnan's hand, "Situ, hold on."
"Zixin..." Situ Hengnan murmured in a half-dream.
"I'm here." Huo Feng also frowned.
"... let's wander the world together... okay..."
Even though Situ Hengnan's breath was as thin as silk, Huo Feng could still hear every word clearly in the cramped carriage.
"...I..." Huo Feng couldn't help but let go of Situ Hengnan's hand.
After a few bumps, the carriage stopped at the gate of Chen Ning's mansion.
Situ Xing'er had been waiting there with a lamp for a long time. Seeing her brother being carried off from the carriage unconscious, her mind went blank for a moment, and the lamp in her hand fell to the ground.
"Brother!" Situ Xing'er rushed over, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Hurry up and ask Doctor Lu to come over." Chen Ning called out to Cai'er.
"Don't worry, there is no need to worry about your life, you are just injured." Chen Ning comforted Xing'er.
But Huo Ling got off his horse and said, "The orphan of Beitu also needs to be rescued."
2 When Situ Hengnan woke up, it took a long time for the scene in front of him to overlap into a clear scene.
The thin quilt on his body was pressed by someone, and he rubbed his eyes again, only to realize that it was Huo Feng.
Huo Feng fell asleep leaning against the edge of the bed, his long hair was a little messy, and his eyelashes were trembling uneasy.
He didn't want to wake Huo Feng up, but the slight movement seemed to accidentally involve the wound, Situ Hengnan coughed twice in a low voice.
Huo Feng was startled awake by the movement, got up, rubbed his eyes as well, saw Situ Hengnan woke up, and said, "Situ."
Situ Hengnan wanted to straighten his body, but found that he had no strength in his body.
"This is Chen Ning's mansion. Last night, it was puppetry." Huo Feng stood up and put a long pillow behind Situ Hengnan.
"Puppet art?" Situ Hengnan frowned.
Huo Feng poured a glass of water and handed it to Situ Hengnan, explaining slowly: "It's an ancient sorcery. It was originally just a kind of sorcery to manipulate inanimate objects. Later, someone created a kind of magic to deplete one's own lifespan." The sorcery of manipulating others with Jingyuan. Before, I only heard about it."
"Cough, it's Jiang Luo?" Situ Hengnan tried hard to recall what happened last night, but only confusion passed through his mind.
Huo Feng shook his head and said, "It's the child I found, the orphan of Beitu."
"His puppet technique?" Situ Hengnan was startled, "Now he..."
Huo Feng replied: "In a guest room in the mansion, he was unconscious. It must be the first time for him to use this technique, and he just forced it, otherwise..."
Otherwise, Situ Hengnan wouldn't be able to survive that moment.
Huo Feng concealed half a sentence, all kinds of worries turned into a ray of melancholy between his brows.
"Otherwise he will take my life." Although Situ Hengnan looked a little pale, he still said with a smile.
"But yesterday, you still didn't go back to your residence?"
Although Situ Hengnan's memory is fuzzy, there are still a few remaining scenes telling him that Huo Feng came to him.
"Turn back halfway." Huo Feng answered honestly.
At this time, someone knocked on the door twice, Huo Feng stood up and opened the door, it turned out to be Huo Ling.
"Come on, my poor little brother, eat something. Cousin, I made the golden vegetable porridge with my own hands. Try it quickly."
Huo Ling was holding a flat plate with a bowl of warm porridge on it. The reason why it was called golden vegetable porridge was because a proper amount of corn kernels were added to the porridge.
Also afraid of disturbing Situ Hengnan, Huo Ling's voice was deliberately suppressed.
As soon as the words fell, Huo Ling glanced around the room, only to see that Situ Hengnan had woken up.
"Master Situ is awake, I'll ask the doctor to come over and take a look." Huo Ling put the flat plate on to Huo Feng, "There is still some cooking in the pot."
"En." Huo Feng nodded.
"Situ, let's eat something." Huo Feng took a spoonful of vegetable porridge with a suitable temperature.
Situ Hengnan didn't have much appetite at first, but when the aroma of porridge wafted over, he really felt hungry.
When the meal was almost finished, Situ Hengnan said, "Zixin, go eat something too."
Huo Feng put the porridge bowl away, and said: "No, I'm not hungry."
At this time, someone knocked on the door again, and Xing'er's sweet voice came over: "Brother, brother Zixin, I brought Doctor Lu here."
"Come in." Situ Hengnan responded.
Doctor Lu methodically made some examinations, and finally said: "Young Master was stabbed a little deep, and his blood is weak, but he will heal after resting for a while. This wound is probably not a small scar. .”
"Fighting for several years, how can you be afraid of scars?"
Situ Hengnan laughed heartily twice, but the wound on his chest was involved, which made him curl up in pain.
"Brother!" Xing'er hurriedly sat on the head of the bed.
"No problem." After a while of pain, Situ Hengnan smiled and said to Situ Xing'er.
"By the way, where is Chen Ning?" Situ Hengnan asked.
Situ Xing'er stood up and said, "I'm looking at that orphan from Beitu, I don't know if that child is awake now."
"I want to see it too." Situ Hengnan blurted out, but was immediately stared back by Situ Xing'er.
"Brother, you have to rest during this time, if you have anything to say to me." Situ Xing'er put her hands on her hips pretending to be angry.
"Got it, got it." Situ Hengnan knew he couldn't beat his sister, so he didn't struggle.
Besides, Zixin was taking care of her.
☆, pull the candle
1 Chen stared at the so-called "Northern Orphans" unconscious, not knowing what to do for a while.
As he was resting his head on his pillow and thinking, the little boy moved a little bit, moving his fingers and eyelids.
"Are you awake?" Chen Ning stood up, watching the young boy slowly raise his eyelids.
"Who... are you?" The young boy sat up slowly, his eyes were not of fear, but rather of pure ignorance, and he spoke very standard Central Plains Mandarin.
"Who are you?" Chen Ning was not in a hurry, she sat down and asked him.
"I..." The young boy couldn't answer for a while, so he spread his palm and looked down, then touched his face, "Who am I?"
"You...you don't know who you are?" Chen Ning stroked her chin and looked at the young boy in front of her.The young boy glanced at him in a daze, his eyes were a little dodged and wandering, as if he was a little... afraid of strangers.
Chen Ning thought about it, but didn't speak for a while.
"Here, there is something to eat here, eat first if you are hungry." Chen Ning pointed to some things on the table, then got up and left the room.
It happened that Huo Ling came slowly and saw him guarding the door, so he raised his chin and asked, "How?"
"Wake up." Chen Ning replied, "It's just..."
"What's wrong? Could it be that he lost his memory?" Huo Ling was joking, but Chen Ning nodded solemnly.
"I'm not sure, maybe he just couldn't think of something important for a while, or he deliberately concealed it, which is of course reasonable." Chen Ning said.
Suddenly, there were a few sounds of things falling and breaking in the room, and Chen Ning immediately opened the door sideways.
However, the sight in front of him seemed to be bewildered.
The young boy stood by the table, staring blankly at the porridge bowl and dish that had been knocked over by accident. He didn't know what to do for a while, but when he saw Chen Ning and Huo Ling walking in with serious expressions on his face, he said He looked like he had made a mistake.
"This..." Huo Ling and Chen Ning looked at each other in blank dismay, and in the end both of them inexplicably affirmed the conclusion of "amnesia".
"I'll go find someone to clean it up, and ask my brother to watch here for a while." After Chen Ning finished speaking, she left the room.
Huo Ling sat down leisurely, and said to the young boy, "Is this your thing?"
He took out a chain with an ivory white moon-shaped pendant from his sleeve, and waved it in front of the little boy's eyes.
The young boy's eyes were full of ignorance, but after seeing the shape of the chain, he rushed towards him instinctively.
Huo Ling held him down, held the chain and asked, "There are two Chinese characters engraved on it, 'Wanzhu', but is your name?"
But the little boy didn't answer, just chanting over and over again: "Wan Zhu...Wan Zhu..."
Huo Ling let go of his hand, but the young boy didn't make much fuss, just chanting those two words in a daze.
After hearing too much, Huo Ling got a headache and rubbed his forehead, but the young boy suddenly seemed to have got the answer, and replied a little excitedly, "My name is Wanzhu!"
"Oh." Huo Ling carefully looked at this or
"Five years." Huo Feng raised his eyes, the sunlight leaking from the window seemed to be a gift from this midsummer.
"Yeah, it's been five years, Brother Xiaofeng, I couldn't believe it when you came back that day. You started to wrap yourself up tightly, and I was just suspicious for a while." Chen Ning smiled, " However, Brother Xiaofeng, the major general is happier than anyone else when you are back."
"Ah Ning." Huo Feng caressed the edge of the table, but his gaze seemed to look far away through the window, "Tell me something about Situ in the past few years."
Chen Ning nodded, and said: "Brother Xiaofeng, you must have never thought of it, Captain Li is actually the bandit leader who fought with the Major General back then..."
☆, Hanan
1 In Chen Ning's impression, Situ Hengnan was just an unexpected visitor at first.
At first, he only heard that brother Xiaofeng's friend in the imperial city visited, but he only met this person after a while.
At first he called himself "Yunan", but he didn't worry about whether this was his real name, anyway, he was a "noble man".
Because this nobleman not only described his temperament as being different, but also wore a long sword with silver patterns on his black body, and there was a lot of gold in his bag.
Ordinary people come to the southwest from a place as far away as the imperial city, and they are afraid that they will have to toss for a long time.But this young man seemed to have a clear route, and he was also riding a red-maned horse, so naturally it didn't take that long.
It was only later that he found out that this "noble man" was actually Situ Hengnan, the only son of the Great General of Zhen Guo at that time.
And the handsome girl who made him unforgettable was Situ Xing'er, the daughter of the General's Mansion.
In the early morning when the brilliant clouds rose, he heard a knock on the door, and when he opened the door, he saw Situ Hengnan.
Situ Hengnan looked anxious, and his mount, Kaifeng, was still roaring not far behind, stamping its hooves anxiously.
"Master Situ?" Chen Ning looked at him strangely, "Have you found Brother Xiaofeng?"
He went out for a while this morning, and when he came back, he heard that Situ Hengnan had been looking for Huo Feng for a long time.
"Chen Ning, do you want to join the army?" Chen Ning didn't expect Situ Hengnan to ask this.
"Huh?" He was just a little surprised.
Situ Hengnan had a serious face, which made his star eyes even more majestic.
"You are talented and can serve." Situ Hengnan relaxed his expression, "I heard by chance that you also want to fight with the northern tribes. Now, they have reached an alliance and want to invade the border. You want to fight ?"
"willing!"
Chen Ning's heart also ignited a flame.
When Situ Hengnan saw his firm gaze, he also nodded.
"However, I still have to inform my parents." Chen Ning calmed down slightly.
Although he is not the youngest son in the family, of course he can't just leave.
"Take this, and come to the General's Mansion to find me." Situ Hengnan handed him a small jade pendant with gold patterns.
"Okay." Chen Ning replied.
After discussing with her parents and elder brother, Chen Ning packed her bags and prepared to leave, but she left in a hurry.
This was the first time in his life that he left Huojia Village, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to come back.
Thinking of this, it is inevitable that there is some sadness in my heart.
He hurriedly put away this reluctance and clenched his fists tightly.
After wandering around for a while, he finally came to the outer city of the imperial city.
This place is completely different from the tranquility and nature of the village, but very lively.Passers-by filled the streets, and he carefully protected his baggage.
Fortunately, he has also read a lot of books and learned some Mandarin, and his inquiries all the way went smoothly. In the end, he successfully found the Zhen Guo General's Mansion.
There were two government soldiers standing at the door, and several teams of soldiers and horses were patrolling alternately outside the door.
He carefully took out the jade pendant on his chest, and only then mustered up his courage to take that step.
"Brother, I'm looking for Mr. Situ."
The mansion guard guarding the door took the jade pendant and looked at it carefully, and asked another mansion soldier beside him with some uncertainty: "Look, this is the jade pendant of the young master, right?"
Another mansion soldier came over and carefully identified it, finally nodded and said: "Exactly."
The two of them sized Chen Ning up again, and finally exchanged glances with worry on their faces.
One of them said, "The young man wait a moment."
Chen Ning also felt a little strange, but didn't say much.
After a while, the previous soldier came back and said, "Young Master, please."
Chen Ning then followed the soldiers into the banquet hall in the palace, and the soldiers asked him to wait here.
Not long after, it was not Situ Hengnan who appeared, but Situ Xing'er.
She was also worried at first, but she was still very polite, she smiled at him and said: "So it's you, Mr. Chen."
Situ Xing'er has changed a lot, but she still likes the red-gold clothes.
Bright eyes and vermilion lips added a bit of slender posture.
She should, and it's almost time.
Just thinking like this, Xing'er's voice came again: "You were recruited by my brother, you should be enlisting in the army. But now my brother..."
"What's wrong with Mr. Situ?" Chen Ning stood up suddenly, a little anxious.
"Don't worry, it's just that my brother... my brother was punished by my father... the family law..." Situ Xing'er said, her voice was a little choked up, "I'm... recovering from my injuries, so it's inconvenient to see people."
"Miss Situ, don't be sad." Seeing Xing'er holding back her tears, Chen Ning felt unhappy in her heart.
"But why would Mr. Situ be punished?" Chen Ning was puzzled and asked subconsciously.
Xing'er wiped her eyes lightly, and then said: "Brother rejected Shen's marriage contract, angered Prime Minister Shen and the young masters of Shen's family. He also said... other things that made Dad angry, and he was sent to the court a few days ago. Grandmother overheard. Daddy eventually beat brother."
"Then...can I go and see Mr. Situ?" Chen Ning was very worried when she heard that.
At that time, Situ Hengnan had a lot of white gauze wrapped around his head, his upper body was covered with medicinal powder, and he lay on the bed, motionless for a while.
"Brother." Myolie went over with a bowl of water, and Situ Hengnan beckoned to her to put it aside.
Seeing her brother's scars, Xing'er couldn't help but burst into tears again.
Not only Xing'er, but even Chen Ning's expression was very moved.
The scar was a big "fork" stretching across Situ Hengnan's back.
Apart from these two shocking scars, Situ Hengnan's face and arms were slightly bruised.
At this moment, Situ Hengnan turned sideways with difficulty, saw that it was Chen Ning, and said, "It's Chen Ning."
Then he said to Xing'er: "Give me some hospitality, and then take Chen Ning to Mrs. Yan, and tell her that I recommended you."
After Situ Hengnan finished speaking, his complexion became a little pained.
Xing'er anxiously told him to lie down, and then took Chen Ning out.
2 After Chen Ning joined the army, she didn't get the chance to go into battle at first. Like many other small soldiers, she was on duty at night.
It had been more than a few months since the attack on the Northern Land Alliance, before Situ Hengnan arrived on the battlefield and assumed the post of Major General.
It was also because of Situ Hengnan that Chen Ning had the chance to really fight, and finally got the chance to lead the elite Qingqi.
In the past few years, large and small have fought several battles with the Northland Alliance, and it was not easy at the beginning.
By chance, Situ Hengnan didn't seem to care much about the scar when he mentioned it.
"Forgive me for being rude, the general was too cruel to the major general at that time. Moreover, it was at a critical moment when the Northern Land Alliance invaded the Central Plains, this..."
"Don't say that." Situ Hengnan looked calm, "Father is really angry and wants me to repent. But the Northern Land Alliance seems loose and easy to break, but you see we have been fighting for so long, and who is on both sides?" It didn't take advantage of it either."
Chen Ning nodded thoughtfully.
Situ Hengnan then smiled and said: "In the eyes of my father, I'm still a child. He...in fact, he didn't want me to kill the enemy so early in the morning. This method is indeed worse, but it can also stop Youyou's mouth. "
"The general's heart..." Chen Ning sighed.
"Sigh at such a young age, everything is over." Situ Hengnan suddenly patted him on the head, "The battle is over, we must have a good drink!"
At the beginning, Situ Hengnan did not get the support of the army.
Until one battle, Situ Hengnan led a team of iron cavalry to kill a bloody road, and directly took the head of Qi Yan, a sturdy female general who had been a headache for the enemy's general Situ for a long time.
Chen Ning will always remember that day, the major general's face was thick with blood, and his eyes were also clouded with blood.
Situ Hengnan held his head in one hand, and raised the fallen battle flags with the other.
Chen Ning will always remember that moment when the major general became the real major general he was willing to die for, and he shouted together with thousands of other soldiers: "The major general is mighty!"
They used the barren land as graves for sacrificed warriors, erected monuments with broken swords, and sacrificed with blood and strong wine.
During the 3rd World War, Chen Ning was also lucky enough to see Xing'er who came to visit the general and major general.
But he didn't want the first battle to end, and when the first battle broke out again, Situ Xing'er sneaked into the army halfway.
On the battlefield, the soldiers are in chaos, the arrows are chaotic, and the swords are flying.
But it was probably also a matter of fate, in this chaos, he saw her who was too pretty.
It was also at that time that he blocked an arrow for her and killed the person who almost hurt her.
But even though she blocked an arrow, she still suffered some injuries.
"Chen Ning, thank you." After finally returning to the camp safely, Xing'er thanked her solemnly, "I know my martial arts are not good at all, I will go back right away, so I won't cause trouble for you. You must not tell daddy and brother."
Chen Ning nodded solemnly.
Situ Xing'er then smiled, as beautiful and moving as when they first met.
"I really didn't expect that Miss Situ can also kung fu." Chen Ning also smiled.
"Call me Xing'er." Situ Xing'er smiled, and then lay relaxed on his side in the tent, as if he had completely forgotten the danger of life and death just now. "I practiced it when I was young, but I gave up after practicing. Later, I practiced again." After a while, I was scolded by my mother."
Chen Ning didn't answer for a while, but Situ Xing'er said anxiously: "Are you also like your mother, thinking that your daughter's family shouldn't touch these things?"
Chen Ning shook her head seriously and said, "Of course not, Situ... Myolie, you must have someone you want to protect, so you can practice martial arts."
"Yes." Myolie laughed again.
"If you don't mind, call me 'A Ning'." Chen Ning clenched her fists slightly before summoning up the courage to say.
"Okay, Ah Ning." Myolie's smile became brighter.
4 Chen Ning naturally also knew that the major general raised many horses, but all the names he personally chose had the word "wind" in them.
Sifeng, Nianfeng, Xunfeng... and the horse Hufeng, which became his later mount.
And according to some of Xing'er's words, probably the words that made General Situ angry were related to brother Xiaofeng.
He walked in a hurry, and wanted to tell Huo Feng, but he couldn't be seen for a while, so he could only set foot on the road.
Except for a few major lieutenants in the army, most of the soldiers would know that the major general must have an unforgettable sweetheart.
Therefore, there are often various rumors in the military.
Probably only a few people know who that person is.
☆, explore
1 Several major captains led several teams to search the inner city and outer city for four days. Although the scope of the search was not small, it had to be concealed, so the search could not be unrestrained and the strength was limited.
"Major General." Lieutenant Lin stepped forward and gave a slight salute, shaking his head.
The rest of the lieutenants looked at each other, seeing that Lieutenant Lin who came back to report the situation at the end had no results, they all looked at Situ Hengnan who was sitting cross-legged.
If it hadn't been reported by an informant that the boy who was suspected to be an orphan of Beitu had appeared in the downtown area, Situ Hengnan would have found it hard to believe that the boy was actually in the imperial city, and he didn't have to spend a lot of time looking for it for days and nights.
"The big hermit hides in the city, and the little hermit hides in the wild." Situ Hengnan murmured a word while thinking.
"What did you say, Major General?" Captain Li didn't hear clearly for a moment.
"It's nothing." Situ Hengnan stood up, "I was just thinking about what they were trying to do in the imperial city."
The five captains also thought for a while when they heard this.
Captain Zhou thought for a while, and said, "Maybe there is nowhere to go, and the child is also very poor."
Lieutenant Wu disagreed, saying: "That military adviser is not an ordinary person. Even if staying in the imperial city is just a stopgap measure, I'm afraid something big will happen because of them in the future."
Chen Ning nodded, but when she heard someone knocking on the door of this tea room, she asked vigilantly, "Who?"
"My lord, a gentleman surnamed Huo is here to look for you." It was the shop waiter.
Chen Ning and Situ Hengnan looked at each other, and seeing Situ Hengnan nodded, she opened the door of the tea room and said, "Please come up, sir."
"Yes." Xiao Er bowed her waist, then stomped downstairs.
After a while, Huo Feng came upstairs.
Several school lieutenants winked at each other, and then Li Xiaowei said in a strange way: "Young general, the battle is finally over, and you are in a hurry to find someone when you come back. Can you give us a few days off?"
Lieutenant Li touched Captain Zhou with his elbow, and Captain Zhou raised his eyebrows, and echoed somewhat ignorantly: "Yes, Major General, I can't find this person at the moment, why don't you discuss it with Mr. Huo first Discuss the countermeasures, and we will go to run errands again. People who come and go in the city have been strictly checked in the past few days, and it is not easy to escape."
Captain Zhou did not expect the other captains to nod in approval.
What did he say right by mistake?
Captain Li pushed him towards the door of the tea room. Captain Lin and Captain Wu looked at each other amusedly. Chen Ning waved at Situ Hengnan, seemingly helpless.
"You just went back like this? I will let you rest, but you should stop." Situ Hengnan rushed to the door, but several captains were already downstairs.
"Major General, Mr. Huo is here, how can you tolerate us in your eyes?" After hearing Li Xiaowei's joking words, the four of them disappeared.
Chen Ning arched her hands and said, "I'll go back first, Major General."
"Hey, Chen..." Before Situ Hengnan could shout, the door of the tea room was already closed.
"Situ, I'm sorry." Huo Feng broke the silence for a few seconds.
"Zixin?" Situ Hengnan didn't expect Huo Feng to apologize, his dark pupils were filled with guilt.
"The troubles you caused, and... I heard that you are very depressed these days. I'm sorry." Huo Feng narrowed his eyes, "It's not that I don't trust you, I think, when the time is right, I will take care of some things told you."
"Yeah." Situ Hengnan's eyes were rarely dodged, "I'm not unhappy at all, and even if I'm unhappy, it's not because of you."
Huo Feng smiled, and said, "Your unhappiness is all written on your face."
"Ah?" Situ Hengnan touched his face, "This..."
"I lied to you." Huo Feng smiled slightly, "In those two days, you were so anxious, thank you very much."
Situ Hengnan didn't laugh, that "thank you" really touched his heart.
"The prison in Dali Temple is actually not that scary. Fu Siqing is not an unreasonable and stupid official, not to mention there are jurors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Criminal Department. Mr. Shen's evidence is not completely reliable, but the procedures that should be followed are still there. If you have to go, shut me up first."
Huo Feng explained seriously that Situ Hengnan actually didn't pay much attention to these words.
Is it so polite between them?
"I was entrusted with sampling and developing those weapons." Seeing that Situ Hengnan just nodded slightly, Huo Feng continued to explain in a serious manner.
"Zixin, you don't need to tell me thank you, and don't... tell me you're sorry."
At this moment, Situ Hengnan scratched his hair with some embarrassment, and finally spoke out his heart.
Huo Feng didn't expect Situ Hengnan to say that, so he slightly lowered his voice and said, "Old lady..."
Situ Hengnan breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Grandmother contracted a cough and passed away five years ago."
Unexpectedly, when it came to coughing, Situ Hengnan accidentally coughed himself.
Seeing this, Huo Feng quickly poured a glass of water to Situ Hengnan, and patted him on the back.
"Situ, your injury is still not healed."
Huo Feng frowned, but he didn't expect Situ Hengnan to hug him, and the cup in his hand fell on the carpet.
2 "Zixin."
Situ Hengnan called out to Huo Feng, but did not immediately continue speaking.
"Zixin, the days I miss the most are the days with you in the southwest." Situ Hengnan held Huo Feng's hand, "If these things are over, can we wander the world together?"
"Situ, no."
Huo Feng gently held Situ Hengnan's warm hand, and said: "You should start a family and continue to live in the imperial city. You are a wealthy man, and now you are far away from killing, you should be stable."
"You know, being with you is the peace in my heart." Situ Hengnan frowned, and the hand holding Huo Feng tightened a little.
"It's impossible for you not to have a family." Huo Feng's black pupils were full of helplessness, "Besides..."
Situ Hengnan was about to say something more, but there was someone visiting outside the door.
"My lord." A low and hoarse voice said, "I have news, and he is still in the inner city."
"Where exactly?" With a light cough, Situ Hengnan let go of Huo Feng.
"Jinxiang." The informant replied.
"I'll be there soon." Situ Hengnan said.A shadow swayed, and the informant disappeared.
"Zixin, you go back first." Situ Hengnan took Huo Feng's hand, "I'll send someone to see you off."
"No, I'll go with you." Huo Feng's eyes were firm.
"No need." Situ Hengnan turned his face away, but took advantage of the situation and dragged Huo Feng downstairs.
There is a carriage outside the door that seems to have been waiting for a long time.
"Send Mr. Huo back."
After Situ Hengnan ordered, the coachman nodded.
"Zixin, go back quickly." Situ Hengnan looked at Huo Feng seriously, and said softly.
Huo Feng did not refuse, and said, "Be careful."
"Ah."
Watching the carriage gradually going away, Situ Hengnan went to Jinxiang alone with peace of mind.
It wasn't until the edge of Jinxiang that the informant showed up to lead the way.
When approaching the destination, the informant disappeared in the darkness.
Situ Hengnan quietly looked around.Jinxiang is a relatively densely populated area in the imperial city, and here is a remote place in Jinxiang. The bustle of the day has faded away, and it is very quiet at night.
He knocked on the door of a house in front of him, but no one answered.
Situ Hengnan noticed someone approaching quickly behind him, so he quickly took a step sideways.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be just a young boy.
Maybe he rushed over with a dagger in his hands, but missed again, and the dagger fell head-on to the door.
The little boy pulled it out vigorously for a long time, and then he finally released it.
Even though his hands were trembling, he held the dagger tightly and stared at Situ Hengnan fiercely.
"You are Bei..." Before Situ Hengnan could finish his sentence, the young boy swung his dagger and slashed at him.
Situ Hengnan dodged a few attacks with a steady pace, and then said, "The orphan of Beitu?"
The little boy didn't give up at all, and swung his dagger again to stab him.
Situ Hengnan grabbed the boy's weak wrist and removed the dagger.
The little boy was still staring at him viciously, with unwillingness in his eyes.
"You..." Situ Hengnan was about to say something when the little boy opened his mouth wide and bit his hand unceremoniously.
"Tsk..." Situ Hengnan was in pain, but he made a gesture first to tell the informant not to act rashly.
It took a lot of effort for Situ Hengnan to lift the little boy away, and after shaking his hands twice, the pain in the tiger's mouth became more intense.
The little boy didn't let go of any gaps, and immediately picked up the dagger and rushed into the deep alley.
"Hey."
Situ Hengnan didn't expect a young boy to run so fast, so he immediately followed.
Situ Hengnan followed Zhishen Lane, but it seemed as if he had merged into a lake. Something brushed past his face quietly, as soft as water.
There were a few crisp sounds of the rings hitting each other in the ears, and he secretly cried out that he was not good, and fell helpless for a while.
It seemed that there was a force pulling him and dragging him into a dream.
☆, puppet art
1 When Huo Feng rushed to Jinxiang, he didn't find Situ Hengnan for a while.
A fast-moving black shadow suddenly stopped beside him, caressing his chest, as if he was injured, and said in a hoarse voice: "Mr. Huo, son, something is wrong."
"Tell me where your son is." Huo Feng suppressed the faint uneasiness in his heart.
"In the deep alley ahead." The informant continued, "Sir, don't worry, don't act rashly and let me quickly find our people around."
Huo Feng nodded lightly, but after waiting for the informant to leave, he walked towards the deep alley.
"Student!"
In the deep alley, Situ Hengnan's back seemed to condense into a darker ink in the night, but he was trembling.
"Situ." Huo Feng approached, but was pushed away by Situ Hengnan.
"Hurry up... go away, go away." Situ Hengnan stood up with difficulty, muttering.
"Situ?" Huo Feng staggered a few steps, but he didn't expect that Situ Hengnan had already swung the long sword in his hand.
"No..." Situ Hengnan had blue veins protruding from his forehead, dripping with sweat, holding the hand holding the long sword in one hand, his body was still trembling.
"Zixin, let's go..." Situ Hengnan almost couldn't control himself, so he stabbed himself with a sword.
"Situ!" Huo Feng's heart was pounding.
In the past few years, traveling abroad, it is difficult to be so overwhelmed.
Huo Feng searched for information about this situation in his mind, but for a moment he couldn't remember what such a sorcery was, where he saw it, and how to break it.
"Puppet art, Xiaofeng, avoid it!"
A thick voice came from above his head, and Huo Feng was pulled back five steps away.
"Don't get close to him for the time being. Situ Hengnan is quite determined, otherwise the sword must have been aimed at you."
The visitor patted Huo Feng on the shoulder to show comfort.
"Cousin." Huo Feng saw that it was Huo Ling, as if he saw hope.
"Don't worry, puppetry is a sorcery that consumes one's own lifespan, it cannot last for too long, and those who use it..."
Huo Ling paused, held his breath, held his breath, and threw a short blade with his sleeves.
There was a rustling sound from the roof, and after a scream, a young boy rolled down, and Huo Ling hurriedly grabbed him.
Unexpectedly, the little boy held a dagger in his hand, and insisted on waving it randomly with his weak strength.
"I didn't expect it to be such a small child."
Huo Ling frowned, dodged the young boy's attack, and knocked the young boy unconscious with a single palm.
Huo Feng ran towards Situ Hengnan, and Situ Hengnan who passed out together with the young boy let go of the sword and fell into Huo Feng's arms.
"Situ, Situ!"
Looking at Situ Hengnan's pale face, Huo Feng's heart suddenly tightened.
"Xiaofeng, don't worry, this puppet technique only consumes the essence of the person, and it will not endanger life in essence. I am afraid that his self-stabbing sword is a bit heavy, so quickly find a place to heal the injury."
Huo Feng put Situ Hengnan's arm on his shoulder, and slowly helped Situ Hengnan up.
"But that child..." Huo Feng looked at the dying young boy, "He should be the orphan of Beitu."
Huo Ling raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh? The youngest son of the Beitu patriarch?"
"Situ came here just looking for this child."
Huo Ling heard this, and said, "Okay. This child can't die, I know, cousin. You support Situ Hengnan first, this child is too dangerous, I will carry it first."
It just so happened that when the two were about to leave, the informant led Chen Ning over.
"Brother Xiaofeng, brother Ling!"
When Chen Ning saw the two of them, she quickly got off her horse.
"A Ning, the orphan of Beitu was found, but Situ was injured." Huo Feng supported Situ Hengnan, walking a little slowly.
Chen Ning took Situ Hengnan and said, "Come to my residence to heal your wounds first."
Huo Feng followed into the carriage, Chen Ning led the way on a horse, and Huo Ling followed behind on another horse with the orphan of Beitu. The destination was the new mansion.
Situ Hengnan frowned in pain during a jolt.
"Situ." Huo Feng held Situ Hengnan's hand, "Situ, hold on."
"Zixin..." Situ Hengnan murmured in a half-dream.
"I'm here." Huo Feng also frowned.
"... let's wander the world together... okay..."
Even though Situ Hengnan's breath was as thin as silk, Huo Feng could still hear every word clearly in the cramped carriage.
"...I..." Huo Feng couldn't help but let go of Situ Hengnan's hand.
After a few bumps, the carriage stopped at the gate of Chen Ning's mansion.
Situ Xing'er had been waiting there with a lamp for a long time. Seeing her brother being carried off from the carriage unconscious, her mind went blank for a moment, and the lamp in her hand fell to the ground.
"Brother!" Situ Xing'er rushed over, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Hurry up and ask Doctor Lu to come over." Chen Ning called out to Cai'er.
"Don't worry, there is no need to worry about your life, you are just injured." Chen Ning comforted Xing'er.
But Huo Ling got off his horse and said, "The orphan of Beitu also needs to be rescued."
2 When Situ Hengnan woke up, it took a long time for the scene in front of him to overlap into a clear scene.
The thin quilt on his body was pressed by someone, and he rubbed his eyes again, only to realize that it was Huo Feng.
Huo Feng fell asleep leaning against the edge of the bed, his long hair was a little messy, and his eyelashes were trembling uneasy.
He didn't want to wake Huo Feng up, but the slight movement seemed to accidentally involve the wound, Situ Hengnan coughed twice in a low voice.
Huo Feng was startled awake by the movement, got up, rubbed his eyes as well, saw Situ Hengnan woke up, and said, "Situ."
Situ Hengnan wanted to straighten his body, but found that he had no strength in his body.
"This is Chen Ning's mansion. Last night, it was puppetry." Huo Feng stood up and put a long pillow behind Situ Hengnan.
"Puppet art?" Situ Hengnan frowned.
Huo Feng poured a glass of water and handed it to Situ Hengnan, explaining slowly: "It's an ancient sorcery. It was originally just a kind of sorcery to manipulate inanimate objects. Later, someone created a kind of magic to deplete one's own lifespan." The sorcery of manipulating others with Jingyuan. Before, I only heard about it."
"Cough, it's Jiang Luo?" Situ Hengnan tried hard to recall what happened last night, but only confusion passed through his mind.
Huo Feng shook his head and said, "It's the child I found, the orphan of Beitu."
"His puppet technique?" Situ Hengnan was startled, "Now he..."
Huo Feng replied: "In a guest room in the mansion, he was unconscious. It must be the first time for him to use this technique, and he just forced it, otherwise..."
Otherwise, Situ Hengnan wouldn't be able to survive that moment.
Huo Feng concealed half a sentence, all kinds of worries turned into a ray of melancholy between his brows.
"Otherwise he will take my life." Although Situ Hengnan looked a little pale, he still said with a smile.
"But yesterday, you still didn't go back to your residence?"
Although Situ Hengnan's memory is fuzzy, there are still a few remaining scenes telling him that Huo Feng came to him.
"Turn back halfway." Huo Feng answered honestly.
At this time, someone knocked on the door twice, Huo Feng stood up and opened the door, it turned out to be Huo Ling.
"Come on, my poor little brother, eat something. Cousin, I made the golden vegetable porridge with my own hands. Try it quickly."
Huo Ling was holding a flat plate with a bowl of warm porridge on it. The reason why it was called golden vegetable porridge was because a proper amount of corn kernels were added to the porridge.
Also afraid of disturbing Situ Hengnan, Huo Ling's voice was deliberately suppressed.
As soon as the words fell, Huo Ling glanced around the room, only to see that Situ Hengnan had woken up.
"Master Situ is awake, I'll ask the doctor to come over and take a look." Huo Ling put the flat plate on to Huo Feng, "There is still some cooking in the pot."
"En." Huo Feng nodded.
"Situ, let's eat something." Huo Feng took a spoonful of vegetable porridge with a suitable temperature.
Situ Hengnan didn't have much appetite at first, but when the aroma of porridge wafted over, he really felt hungry.
When the meal was almost finished, Situ Hengnan said, "Zixin, go eat something too."
Huo Feng put the porridge bowl away, and said: "No, I'm not hungry."
At this time, someone knocked on the door again, and Xing'er's sweet voice came over: "Brother, brother Zixin, I brought Doctor Lu here."
"Come in." Situ Hengnan responded.
Doctor Lu methodically made some examinations, and finally said: "Young Master was stabbed a little deep, and his blood is weak, but he will heal after resting for a while. This wound is probably not a small scar. .”
"Fighting for several years, how can you be afraid of scars?"
Situ Hengnan laughed heartily twice, but the wound on his chest was involved, which made him curl up in pain.
"Brother!" Xing'er hurriedly sat on the head of the bed.
"No problem." After a while of pain, Situ Hengnan smiled and said to Situ Xing'er.
"By the way, where is Chen Ning?" Situ Hengnan asked.
Situ Xing'er stood up and said, "I'm looking at that orphan from Beitu, I don't know if that child is awake now."
"I want to see it too." Situ Hengnan blurted out, but was immediately stared back by Situ Xing'er.
"Brother, you have to rest during this time, if you have anything to say to me." Situ Xing'er put her hands on her hips pretending to be angry.
"Got it, got it." Situ Hengnan knew he couldn't beat his sister, so he didn't struggle.
Besides, Zixin was taking care of her.
☆, pull the candle
1 Chen stared at the so-called "Northern Orphans" unconscious, not knowing what to do for a while.
As he was resting his head on his pillow and thinking, the little boy moved a little bit, moving his fingers and eyelids.
"Are you awake?" Chen Ning stood up, watching the young boy slowly raise his eyelids.
"Who... are you?" The young boy sat up slowly, his eyes were not of fear, but rather of pure ignorance, and he spoke very standard Central Plains Mandarin.
"Who are you?" Chen Ning was not in a hurry, she sat down and asked him.
"I..." The young boy couldn't answer for a while, so he spread his palm and looked down, then touched his face, "Who am I?"
"You...you don't know who you are?" Chen Ning stroked her chin and looked at the young boy in front of her.The young boy glanced at him in a daze, his eyes were a little dodged and wandering, as if he was a little... afraid of strangers.
Chen Ning thought about it, but didn't speak for a while.
"Here, there is something to eat here, eat first if you are hungry." Chen Ning pointed to some things on the table, then got up and left the room.
It happened that Huo Ling came slowly and saw him guarding the door, so he raised his chin and asked, "How?"
"Wake up." Chen Ning replied, "It's just..."
"What's wrong? Could it be that he lost his memory?" Huo Ling was joking, but Chen Ning nodded solemnly.
"I'm not sure, maybe he just couldn't think of something important for a while, or he deliberately concealed it, which is of course reasonable." Chen Ning said.
Suddenly, there were a few sounds of things falling and breaking in the room, and Chen Ning immediately opened the door sideways.
However, the sight in front of him seemed to be bewildered.
The young boy stood by the table, staring blankly at the porridge bowl and dish that had been knocked over by accident. He didn't know what to do for a while, but when he saw Chen Ning and Huo Ling walking in with serious expressions on his face, he said He looked like he had made a mistake.
"This..." Huo Ling and Chen Ning looked at each other in blank dismay, and in the end both of them inexplicably affirmed the conclusion of "amnesia".
"I'll go find someone to clean it up, and ask my brother to watch here for a while." After Chen Ning finished speaking, she left the room.
Huo Ling sat down leisurely, and said to the young boy, "Is this your thing?"
He took out a chain with an ivory white moon-shaped pendant from his sleeve, and waved it in front of the little boy's eyes.
The young boy's eyes were full of ignorance, but after seeing the shape of the chain, he rushed towards him instinctively.
Huo Ling held him down, held the chain and asked, "There are two Chinese characters engraved on it, 'Wanzhu', but is your name?"
But the little boy didn't answer, just chanting over and over again: "Wan Zhu...Wan Zhu..."
Huo Ling let go of his hand, but the young boy didn't make much fuss, just chanting those two words in a daze.
After hearing too much, Huo Ling got a headache and rubbed his forehead, but the young boy suddenly seemed to have got the answer, and replied a little excitedly, "My name is Wanzhu!"
"Oh." Huo Ling carefully looked at this or
