When Mu Ziyan left, she found that Xiao Beichen was missing.

Called, no one answered.

Call again, still no one picks up.

In the end, Mu Ziyan had no choice but to say goodbye to Mu Tianhao first and drive Suman home.

Suman on the side couldn't help but said: "Zi Yan, your husband is a bit strong. Maybe... you have found a treasure. Why are you still depressed?"

Mu Ziyan looked a little dazed: "I was scared."

Suman tilted his head and thought for a moment, then said: "That's right. You have been doing business since graduation and rarely saw scenes of bloodshed. Xiao Beichen killed hundreds of Lei family mercenaries with just one sentence. Who would it be? , will all be frightened.”

"But I can see that he is very responsible and protective of you. You don't have to worry."

Mu Ziyan said: "I'm not worried about that. It's just that... we get along very awkwardly, you know? I have always said all kinds of bad things about him before, saying that he is very impulsive. After today's scene, I don't know what to do. Go face him."

At the end of the sentence, Mu Ziyan's face turned a little red. What Xiao Beichen said and did before kept popping up in his mind.

A heroic spirit!

It made Mu Ziyan's heart beat faster, beating like a deer.

Suman sighed: "My Zi Yan. You are usually so smart and always enlighten me. Now it's your turn, why are you confused?"

Mu Ziyan: "Then you will guide me?"

Su Man: "Let me ask you, do you think what you said to Xiao Beichen before was wrong?"

After thinking for a moment, Mu Ziyan shook her head: "Xiao Beichen is capable, powerful, and well-connected. But I always feel that he is too impulsive in doing things. If this continues, something will happen sooner or later. After all, there will always be someone stronger than him in this world, and he will provoke him An incredible existence. What I said...is correct."

Suman said: "Since you don't think you said anything wrong, and you defended him like that before. What's wrong with you facing him?"

"You said something about him before, just for his own good. And you also secretly found connections to help him deal with the aftermath. He sees it and won't mind what you said before."

After hearing this, Mu Ziyan felt much more at ease: "You are right, I understand."

Suman smiled happily.

Soon, the car arrived at the gate of Su's house in Jiangnan.

Suman held Mu Ziyan's arm warmly: "Zi Yan, you didn't even eat a bite of food at Mu's house. Come on, go in and eat."

Mu Ziyan shook her head and refused: "Suman, thank you for today. I won't go in."

Suman quickly understood and said with a teasing smile: "I understand, you have to go find your lover... Okay, I won't disturb your date. But you have to come tomorrow."

Mu Ziyan was stunned: "Tomorrow?"

"Silly girl, tomorrow... is my birthday. See you then."

After leaving a word, Suman walked away quickly.

Mu Ziyan smiled in relief: "Okay, I will definitely come."

After getting in the car, Mu Ziyan drove all the way and kept dialing Xiao Beichen's number.

She couldn't wait to see Xiao Beichen...

Xiao Beichen, where are you?

At least I have to say thank you.

……

Su family, tea room.

"Suman, you are confused!"

A cold drink exploded throughout the room.

Suman stood in the center, lowered his head and said nothing.

And in the chief position, there was a middle-aged man in a white suit with an indifferent expression: "How could you go to Jiangbei privately to cause trouble? And openly go against the Lei family?! Do you know that because of your impulsiveness, you almost... Provoke a dispute between the north and the south of China?!"

Suman gritted her teeth: "Dad, Mu Ziyan is my good sister, and it's not like you don't know this. When my sister was in trouble, I came to help. What's wrong?!"

The middle-aged man was shaking with anger.

Su Xiaofeng, the leader of the dignified Jiangnan clan, was so angry with his own daughter.

"Sister, you are indeed confused. Are you going to offend the Jiangbei Lei family for Mu Ziyan? Is this deal a good deal? Once the dispute between the north and the south is provoked, do you know how big a shock it will cause? Have you ever thought about what happens to my Su family once the war between the north and the south is provoked? How much will it cost?"

A muscular young man wearing a black suit walked in.

It was Suman’s eldest brother, Su Qiang.

Su Man glanced at Su Qiang and was dissatisfied: "Brother, the Lei family is the first family in Jiangbei, and our Su family is the first family in Jiangnan. Lei Zhentian was still his father's junior brother back then. Are our Su family still afraid of the Lei family? "

Su Qiang sighed: "Before, Lei Zhentian was indeed my junior brother. But five years ago, our Su family and Lei family had a fight over the Xiao family in Zhonghai. As a result, our Su family was defeated. From then on, we two The family breaks up.”

After hearing this, Suman's expression calmed down a lot: "Didn't I say at that time that we didn't want to fight to the end with the Lei family? Why did we lose?"

Five years ago, Suman was away at university and didn't know much about this matter.

Su Qiang said: "That's just our Su family's rhetoric to the outside world. In fact, it was our Su family that failed."

Suman's face darkened: "Brother. What's going on?"

Su Qiang said: "Behind the Lei family, there was a martial arts master who came forward to suppress the Su family. Outsiders greatly underestimated the true strength of the Lei family. Today Xiao Beichen broke off Young Master Lei's hand in the Mu family... No. It will end well. From now on, keep your distance from Mu Ziyan. Do you understand?"

Su Xiaofeng stood up and said, "Listen to your elder brother."

Suman was still arguing: "But Xiao Beichen is really strong. He has Liu Changfeng's trump card..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Xiaofeng stopped him: "Liu Changfeng is just a secular person after all, and secular means are of no use to a martial arts master. Only those who have seen the methods of a martial arts master can know what they are like. Xiao Beichen , after all, you are still too young.”

Suman stood there blankly, speechless for a long time.

This was the first time in so many years that she had seen her father so afraid of someone.

The Lei family is so terrifying.

Aren't Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan...

……

Yanbo Lakeside.

The ancestral home of the Xiao family in Zhonghai.

Xiao Beichen came here again and found the ancestral hall that had been leveled.

With his own hands, he dug out the incomplete and worn-out spiritual tablets from the mound.

Then, wipe them clean with clothes and place them one by one on the table.

My hands dug into the soil, and there was blood.

Xiao Beichen was completely ignorant and continued...

Let the blood flow.

It was raining in the sky, and I let the rain hit me.

He tirelessly dug out one spiritual tablet after another, and then gently wiped it clean.

Ah Liang suddenly walked over and stood behind him, watching quietly. Unknowingly, his eyes were blurred by tears: "Your Majesty, you were injured in the last battle in Beiliang. Your injury has not healed yet. Please cherish your body." .”

"The deceased is gone. Please express my condolences, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Beichen seemed not to hear, and continued digging in the soil, mumbling to himself.

"Early on, my grandfather Xiao Qianlong was abandoned by his clan when he was young and was hunted down. He fled to the end of the world and finally came to Zhonghai and built this mansion. After that, my Xiao family started from here."

"At that time, it happened to be troubled times. In order to defend one side, my grandfather mobilized local armed forces. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. In order to respond to the vigorous battle to establish the country in Daxia, in order to protect more people, in order to create a new country. I Grandpa started the Northern Expedition from here, attacking cities and villages all the way, and finally arrived at Longshan, Huaidong, where he fought a decisive battle with the enemies in the [-]th Province of Huaidong."

"Hundreds of the Xiao family's sons died on the battlefield, and finally we ushered in the peaceful and prosperous era when the Huaihe River moved [-] provinces. The Great Xia Dynasty was established, and my grandfather conferred the title of founding father. At this point, the Xiao family of Longshan became famous in Huaidong and crossed the two rivers."

"In the [-]th year of Daxia, a war broke out on the Huaidong border, and my grandfather was injured. My father, Xiao Qingtian, went to fight on his behalf and killed [-] enemy invaders, making him famous in Huaidong. It was also in that year that I was born on the battlefield."

"It's cold at high places. The higher you stand, the harder you fall. Five years ago, I followed my eldest brother and sister to lead the army eastward and fight again at the Langya Mountain on the border with the East China Sea bandits. I wanted to copy my father's outstanding record. The result , suffered a huge defeat, killing and injuring [-] troops. It was later hyped up and became the 'Shame of the Wolf Fang'. This led to Xiao being held accountable."

"From then on, the Longshan Xiao family was deposed and plummeted, never to be the same again. Immediately afterwards, the Longshan Xiao family faced the disaster of annihilation... Three hundred of the Xiao family's sons were killed. The century-old Xiao family was destroyed overnight. , no longer exists. Even the Xiao family in Zhonghai where my second uncle was stationed was pushed aside. If my grandfather and father hadn't fought to protect each other, I would have died in Longshan long ago."

"Later, I fled to the end of the world and went north to Kunlun. I practiced with the Empress for five years... Now, I have come back, but I don't even know who the enemy who killed the Xiao family in Longshan was."

"In fact, I don't even know the person behind the massacre of the Xiao family in Zhonghai or the reason behind it."

Speaking of this, Xiao Beichen burst into tears.

"Second uncle, Beichen is unfilial!"

After digging out the spiritual tablet of his second uncle Xiao Baiye, Xiao Beichen knocked his head on the ground and screamed heartbreakingly.

A Liang burst into tears: "My lord, please take care of yourself! When we go south this time, we will definitely find out the reason why the Xiao family in Zhonghai was destroyed. I am using my connections to conduct a thorough investigation. I believe there will be results soon."

After a long time, Xiao Beichen stood up again, placed Xiao Baiye's spiritual tablet, and murmured: "I asked Master about the destruction of the Xiao family in Longshan, but Master kept silent. He didn't agree with me to investigate the old events of that year. I also I called my father, who even scolded me for being ignorant and refused to let me get involved in what happened back then."

"But the more this happens, the more I want to find out."

After regaining his composure, Xiao Beichen said, "A-Liang, have you figured out the whereabouts of my second aunt?"

A Liang shook his head, with a look of shame on his face: "A Liang was incompetent and didn't even investigate. The wealthy family of Zhonghai kept silent about what happened back then. The clues from back then were also mysteriously erased and completely wiped out."

"I estimate that in the entire Lei family, only Lei Zhentian and the martial arts master behind him know Xie Rui's whereabouts."

"Oh, are you so tight-lipped?" Xiao Beichen's eyes narrowed: "What happened back then was not simple. It seems that only by finding the second aunt can we understand the inside story of the Xiao family's destruction in Zhonghai."

A Liang: "Three days later, Lei Zhentian held a banquet and invited countless wealthy families to attend. The scene was grand. I also found out that the Lei family intends to ease the conflict with Jiangnan Su Xiaofeng, and also plans to invite Su Xiaofeng to attend..."

Xiao Beichen took a deep breath: "How many people are there in the Lei family?"

Aliang said: "There are nine people in Lei Zhentian's immediate family."

"You go and prepare nine coffins. Three days later, take the coffins with you and go to the banquet."

After leaving a few words, Xiao Beichen turned around and left.

A Liang looked at the spiritual tablets on the table and said to Xiao Beichen's back: "Your Majesty, can I put these spiritual tablets away?"

"No need. Just let it go, wait until I wipe out all my enemies, come here personally with the people behind it, kowtow to my second uncle's family and repent! Then, kill them on the spot!"

The person has left, but the voice is still lingering in A Liang's mind.

When we walked out of the ruins, it rained even harder.

There is a sports car parked on the roadside.

A slim woman wearing an aqua tight-fitting cheongsam stood beside the car, holding an umbrella.

A devilish figure and an alluring face.

Picturesque.

After seeing Xiao Beichen, she quickly stepped forward in the pouring rain and put her umbrella over Xiao Beichen's head: "I'm looking for you everywhere..."

Halfway through her words, Mu Ziyan saw the blood stains on Xiao Beichen's hands. She instinctively held his hand, her face hurt, and she scolded slightly: "What are you doing?"

Although the tone was stern, it was full of concern.

Xiao Beichen's heart warmed slightly and he said: "My family's spiritual tablets are buried in the soil. I dug them out and let them see the sunshine and wind and rain again..."

Mu Ziyan suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and her tone became softer: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of these sad things."

"Come on, I'll take you home."

After saying that, she pulled Xiao Beichen into the car.

Xiao Beichen suddenly burst into tears.

Come back home?

It has been a long, long time since anyone called me home.

I, Xiao Beichen...do I still have a home?

He raised his head and looked at the beautiful woman in front of him seriously.

The rain-stained hair is even more charming. The soaked cheongsam will stick tightly to the skin, revealing a perfect figure. You can even see the outline of the clothes underneath, which is bright and moving.

In the misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the beautiful woman is alluring the country.

……

When we returned to No. [-] Wenchang Road, it was already ten o'clock in the evening.

Mu Ziyan took out the medicine box, went to Xiao Beichen's room, knelt down and bandaged the wounds on Xiao Beichen's hands.

Perhaps out of concern, she didn't even have time to change her clothes. She was wearing a green cheongsam, still wet.

Whenever Xiao Beichen lowers his head, he can see the beautiful scenery.

But seeing this woman focusing on bandaging herself, Xiao Beichen felt a warm current flow in his heart.

For the first time in five years, Xiao Beichen felt like home.

No one knows what kind of life Xiao Beichen has been living in the past five years.

No one knows what Xiao Beichen has done in the past five years.

After a while, Mu Ziyan stopped and said, "Okay. Don't go into the water for three days, and it's best not to eat spicy food. After three days, you'll basically be fine."

Xiao Beichen looked at the fingers wrapped with gauze.

The bandage is very good, the tightness is moderate, and it looks good on the surface.

Xiao Beichen asked: "This is a good technique. What did you do before?"

This was the first time Xiao Beichen took the initiative to ask about Mu Ziyan.

Mu Ziyan did not hide anything. She packed the medicine box and said, "I went to the best military school in Huaidong, Medical Corps. Suman is my college classmate."

"Ever been on the battlefield?"

"I attended the last semester of college, but not on the front line. In the temporary hospital at the rear."

Xiao Beichen nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Mu Ziyan suddenly asked, "I talked to my father about you, but he didn't say much. Five years ago, you had a failed engagement?"

Swish!

Xiao Beichen's pupils suddenly shrank.
