The lights were lit in a stone room in the basement, and although the furnishings were simple, there were quite a few luxurious items.
"In another year, the fifth young master will be great, and he can marry and have children!" The beautiful woman couldn't finish speaking, and tears welled up in her eyes.
Chen An also had tears in his eyes and took her hand: "Qianmei, thanks to you, Uncle Zhao and Uncle Chen taking care of the fifth brother over the years, Chen An has nothing to repay, but I hope you will have a good belonging as soon as possible."
The beautiful woman withdrew her hand, looking annoyed: "Please don't mention this again, Lun Wenqian is the master of the master's wife and the third young master, born to the Chen family, dead is the ghost of the Chen family! It is important to invite the third young master to come here today."
She didn't say anything important, and Chen An knew it, so she sighed and waited for the following.
Uncle Zhao didn't say a word of greetings, and asked with bright eyes: "Third young master, have you ever assassinated Shangguan Tianhua?"
Chen An nodded dumbly, he was not without a penny when he fled in the past, but Zigu's medical expenses were too high, and in desperation, he became a killer.
Uncle Zhao said again: "Do you know who hired you? Xueyi Gate!"
"What?!" Chen An suddenly exclaimed, his eyes turning red: "How did this news come from? Holy Hand Zigu?"
Shangguan Shi's family used the carriage and horses of the seven-star moon to go to Baojing Palace, and Shangguan Tianhua took his family to avoid the seven-star moon, this matter has spread in the rivers and lakes, Zigu is an extraordinary person, if the news comes from Zigu, there will be no mistake in the tenth.
Uncle Zhao nodded: "Young Lady Shangguan Ye Qiushui and Master Shangguan's study maid He Xiaoyue want to see you. They are in the water house, should you invite them here, or will you go to see them?"
The water house is in the vegetable garden. Chen An immediately said: "I can't let them come here, I'll go to the water house."
Lun Wenqian shook her head: "If Xueyimen discovers the vegetable garden, they will find this place, so it would be better to invite them to come. In this way, in case of a change, the manpower will not be dispersed. I think it's best to send the fifth young master to the Seven Stars to accompany the moon tomorrow."
The "accommodation fee" of the seven-star moon is sky-high, and Chen Anlue hesitated but agreed: The fifth brother is the one left behind by the Chen family and must not be in danger.
Uncle Zhao immediately got up and went to the vegetable garden. The two people in the stone house were relatively speechless for a while, but their hearts were full of blood and energy.
Chen An's father, Chen Taibao, believed that Song Liao's "Chanyuan Alliance" had brought shame to the Song Dynasty, and that paying "annual coins" to Liao every year could not ensure that the Song Dynasty would be worry-free. A month of black wind and high night, the killer of the Xueyi Gate arrived, destroying the Chen family, only the third son Chen An, the concubine Lun Wenqian, and the fifth son Chen Guangyin happened to be out of the home and survived. Just a few days after the tragedy, political opponents in the DPRK and China planted corruption charges on Chen Taibao, and the three fled upon hearing the news, and Xueyi Gate was intercepted and killed along the road. Thanks to Chen Taibao's kindness to a group of heroes in the rivers and lakes, under their desperate rescue, the three of them narrowly escaped. But Chen An was injured and could not have a descendant, Chen Guang was poisoned, and it took more than ten years to treat Zigu before gradually recovering. Lun Wenqian was originally the daughter of a sinner, Chen Taibao bought her, saw that she had a good foundation in martial arts, and secretly sent her to Wudang Mountain, where she studied under the head of Wudang for ten years, and harbored the hatred of her master's family.
About a pillar of incense time, two women in night clothes floated in, and Uncle Zhao did not follow up and stayed in the courtyard to guard.
He Xiaoyue's face was a little haggard, Ye Qiushui was already dressed as a woman, but she did not have the joy of a bride.
Seeing that Chen An was a little surprised, Ye Qiushui explained briefly: "The little girl got married to my husband yesterday at the Seven Stars Moon Chapel." After a slight pause, he looked at him and said: "Young Master Chen, you look similar to Ling Zun, my master had a relationship with Ling Zun in his early years, and after my husband painted your portrait, the master said that you are a descendant of Chen Taibao. And Master Chen Guang was poisoned by the Xueyi Sect and had been healing at the Holy Aunt for more than ten years. The Chen family was exterminated by the Xueyi Sect, and we think you should be brothers. The Seven Stars were attacked several times, and there was a poison in it that was the same as Chen Guangzhong's. In addition, the Shangguan family underwent a tragic change, and they were hunted several times on the way to Baojing Palace for medical treatment, and finally the people of Baojing Palace confirmed that it was Xueyi's subordinates. From this, it is certain that Xueyi Sect has made a comeback. Young Master Chen, facing the Xueyi Sect, we must join forces to have a chance of winning. I came to visit today to ask for advice, Xueyi Sect hired you to assassinate, you must have had contact with the other party. How can I find them?"
Seeing her calm and calm, she was not knocked down by the tragic change at all, and she had the momentum of Mrs. Shangguan, and she should be able to support the family in the future. Chen Anxin admired and gritted his teeth: "Why don't I want revenge! Xue Blind Beggar, who could contact me for business, has died. I thought he was dead in the coffin and stretched out his hand to be slaughtered, but now that I think about it, it must be Xueyi's hand!"
Lun Wenqian said softly: "Xue Blind Beggar is really a person who eats a thousand people, he is a killer himself, and he also leads business for others. Third young master, how did he die?"
Chen An hesitated to answer, in his heart he hoped that tomorrow Lun Wenqian and his fifth brother would go to the Seven Stars and the Moon together, regardless of this matter, but Lun Wenqian was the head of Wudang, and her master was like a father, she must want to take revenge with her own hands. After a moment, he sighed and said: "After I came down from Xianling Mountain, I thought that I couldn't earn this money, so I went to find him to find another business according to the mark he left, but found that he had died in a dilapidated temple in Xinghua, stabbed to death by an ordinary dagger.
Xiaoyue, who had been silent, suddenly said: "Presumably Third Young Master Chen didn't examine his body in detail at that time, Xiaoyue wants to go with you to take a look."
Chen An hadn't answered yet, but Lun Wenqian had already stood up and said, "I'll go too."
Xiaoyue glanced at her: "Dare to ask if the girl's surname is Lun and her name is Wenqian?" Seeing her nodding, he continued: "Wudang has a message for you, please go to Zangxia Cave."
***********
The dead entered the land for peace, but Xue Blind Man did everything during his lifetime, so it is no wonder that others did whatever they wanted to him after death.
In the abandoned ruined temple, Xue Blind's body was covered in dirt and smelly. Chen An bit the bullet and put it as it was, no matter how hard it was to hold it down, he ran outside to take a deep breath. Xiaoyue was like a natural pestle, patiently checking for a long time, and finally wrapped Xue Blind Man with a piece of cloth and carried him to the original pit alone.
Chen An hurried over to help fill the soil and asked: "What did you find?"
Xiaoyue said: "He was stabbed to death by a person with extremely high martial arts skills and was killed immediately, and the two sides never fought."
Nonsense! On the day he found the dead body, he could judge it at a glance, so why did he need to investigate for so long?
Xiaoyue glanced at him and said: "My father was skinned and died by the Xueyi Gate, and I will dig them up if I step on the iron shoes! Even if it is an ant hidden in the cracks of the stone, it has to be dug out several clearly! Third Young Master Chen, I look at your martial arts, there are traces of Master Shu's predecessor, and you must have learned from him. I have something to ask them for, can you introduce me?"
Chen An was shocked, he learned from several martial arts masters who had retired from his teacher It was a very secret thing, and the martial arts routine had changed a lot in order to avoid people's eyes, but he didn't expect this woman to see it. He hesitated greatly, not because Xiaoyue's martial arts were better than Shangguan Fei's suspicion, before he became a killer, Lun Wenqian's martial arts and experience in the rivers and lakes were stronger than his. He hesitated because Master Shu was a famous hero of the White Dao, and he didn't know that he had become a killer, and he didn't want to involve the old man in the bloody storm.
Xiaoyue seemed to see through his thoughts and sighed: "Master Shu's senior must be older than his father, so he really shouldn't disturb his old man to spend his old age in peace. I just asked him for advice on some of the rivers and lakes in his early years, and you can introduce me as your confidante. Xiaoyue is ugly, otherwise it would be more convenient to say that it is a good match."
The young girl, when she said this, her face was not red and she was out of breath, but she made Chen An stunned, and she didn't dare to look at her, so she nodded and said: "Okay, as long as Miss He doesn't bring the old-timers in, I will take you. But I want to go back and say hello first, let the wronged girl be my fiancée for the time being."
Xiaoyue nodded, not noticing that her speech did not resemble that of a Song Dynasty woman. Her heart was full of grief and anger, and murderous intent was born. Since the moment he learned of his adoptive father's tragic death, the conversation with Du Dong'er and Gao Huansheng has become a thing of the past. She knew that this kind of crazy idea would not be good, and her adoptive father's spirit in heaven would be uneasy.
She took a deep breath and held herself down, she said lightly: "Let's go."
**********
After turning around the crisscrossing piles of "maze alleys", a narrow alley paved with bluestone slabs emerged, which looked like it was rushed by water, and you could smell the faint fragrance of flowers when you stood at the entrance of the alley. Chen An had a warm smile on his face, and he came here when his fifth brother settled in Beijiang Waterside Town sixteen years ago. As long as he returned to this alley, he felt at home: the five people living here were all his masters, and without them, the Chen family would have died long ago.
He walked quickly into the alley, and the two old men squatting at the foot of the wall basking in the sun immediately jumped up: "Xiao Anzi, do you still remember coming back? Where did you die?"
These two looked the same and had the same voice, and even the same movements: Qi stretched out his hand and stuck it in Chen An's neck, looking at the posture as if he was about to pinch him to death. Chen An fell on his back, suddenly flipped over before landing, and jumped over their heads.
The two old men grabbed it with their backhands, and saw that they had caught their feet, but Chen An was still a false move, and his toes pressed against their hands and swept out of the alley. It's a pity that there is still a level ahead: a man in green clothes appears out of thin air and steps on his back!
Chen An shouted "Lucky life" and rolled against the wall on the spot. The man in green clothes followed him like a shadow, sticking out two fingers to gouge out his eyeballs, and suddenly pulled up his body, swept up the roof, and cut the throat of He Xiaoyue, who was following him with a palm.
Xiaoyue remained motionless, only looking at him with curiosity on her face. The man in green clothes shouted: "Who are you?"
Xiaoyue replied with a smile: "Junior He Xiaoyue."
Chen An also swept onto the roof, his face ugly: "I don't believe my words!"
