Outlaw

Xiao Beichen rushed out of the door with Mu Ziyan in his arms and drove straight to Jinrui Hospital.

It was already late at night when we rushed to the special care ward.

But the ward was brightly lit.

Many people are here to take care of Sherry.

Chen Guohua, Song Jiuling, and Song Yuyan were taking care of him.

Lu Yinyu was checking Xie Rui's pulse.

Aunt Thirteen, on the other hand, sat next to the hospital bed and started talking to Xie Rui very cordially. It tells a lot about Xiao Beichen's mischievous things.

The moment Xiao Beichen came to the door.

Swish swish!

Everyone's eyes fell on Xiao Beichen.

The bustling ward suddenly became quiet.

Yaque is silent!

Afterwards, Chen Guohua, Song Jiuling, and Song Yuyan left the room at the same time.

Lu Yinying also followed.

Obviously, they knew... Xiao Beichen had something important to say to Xie Rui. It was not convenient for them to be there.

Aunt Thirteen did stay, but she also took the initiative to make way for Xiao Beichen.

Xiao Beichen stood blankly at the door, looking at Xie Rui who was lying on the bed.

Xie Rui also saw Xiao Beichen at this moment.

Four eyes facing each other.

Before that, Xiao Beichen wanted to see Xie Rui more urgently than anyone else. But when he saw this woman, Xiao Beichen found that his legs and feet seemed to be filled with lead water, making every step forward very difficult.

The heartbeat speeds up again.

Step by step, it seems like we have walked a distance of five years.

Finally, Xiao Beichen came to the bed, his voice choked with sobs.

"Auntie, Auntie!"

Xie Rui didn't say anything, just stretched out his rough hand.

Xiao Beichen understood and took the initiative to stick his head over. Let her caress her face.

Hands, very rough.

It feels a bit harsh when touched on the face.

But Xiao Beichen clearly felt that this was the gentlest hand in the world.

Xie Rui's eyes were full of kindness and affection: "My child, you are taller and stronger than you were five years ago. You must have suffered a lot in these years."

Xiao Beichen held the rough hands: "Aunt, I haven't suffered. I have lived a good life in the past five years."

Xie Rui was in tears: "You are still talking back. I knew it five years ago when the Xiao family in Zhonghai was still there. When you fled south to Jianmen Pass, your muscles and bones were cut by Luo Tianyang. You became a A useless person. Later, I crawled on ice and snow, and traveled [-] miles westward to Kunlun. Aunt Thirteen just told me that you have experienced the pain of five thousand times of bone breaking to have the body you have now."

"Cut the tendons and break the bones...Climb on the ice and snow, and travel [-] miles westward. Experience the pain of five thousand broken bones...the pain of five thousand failed attempts to reconnect the tendons and bones, and the pain of five thousand broken bones!"

"Child, the child of my Xiao family..."

As he spoke, Xie Rui suddenly broke down and burst into tears.

She hugged Xiao Beichen tightly and shouted hysterically: "Beichen, I'm sorry! It was my aunt who was useless and failed to protect you."

"It's aunt, I'm sorry for you!"

Xiao Beichen wanted to speak, but couldn't.

My aunt!

I, Beichen, am sorry for you! !

The pain and torture you endured in Zhonghai was inferior to that of me, Xiao Beichen!

There are no words to express, only a thousand lines of tears.

After a long time, Xie Rui's emotions slowly calmed down: "Oh, look at me. We finally met and ended up like this. This is not good... This is a happy thing. Come on, my child of the Xiao family, wipe it. Dry your tears and stop crying.”

She held back her tears and took out a tissue to gently wipe away Xiao Beichen's tears.

"I, the son of the Xiao family, will bleed but not shed tears! Don't do this, others will laugh at you."

Xiao Beichen nodded heavily.

Xie Rui smiled: "This looks a bit like the son-in-law of my Xiao family."

Xiao Beichen smiled foolishly.

Brilliant, warm.

Xie Rui nostalgically told Xiao Beichen about the past when he was a child.

Xiao Beichen sat next to him and listened quietly.

Like a child, listening carefully to the stories told by the elders.

"Hey, time flies, and in a blink of an eye, you are already so old." Xie Ruiaini stroked Xiao Beichen's head: "Okay. Very good. As long as you are still here, my Longshan Xiao family is not completely dead. You Yes, there is hope. Beichen, you and Thirteenth Aunt go back to Beiliang in two days. The matter of the Xiao family in Longshan is over and the dust has settled. Don't worry about it."

Just as Xiao Beichen was about to interrupt, Xie Rui suddenly made a silencing gesture and said seriously: "I know your youthful nature and your passion. I also know that you are full of anger and want to rebuild the Xiao family in Longshan. But the past is over. , the Longshan Xiao family at its peak was wiped out overnight. This place is not Beiliang, what can you do? There is no need. Take the blood of my Longshan Xiao family and survive. Spread the branches and leaves for the Longshan Xiao family. , is what you should do most, Beichen."

"If you are gone, my Longshan Xiao family will really be gone!"

Xiao Beichen felt very uncomfortable when he heard this.

How could he not know that everything Xie Rui said... was because he was worried about himself. I'm afraid something will happen to me!

Xiao Beichen did not refute, nor did he have the heart to refute.

"Hey, this girl is your wife?" Xie Rui raised his head and looked at Mu Ziyan: "Are you Mu Ziyan?"

Mu Ziyan stepped forward with a gentle smile: "Second aunt, it's me. Mu Ziyan, Xiao Beichen's engaged wife. But the wedding hasn't been held yet."

Xie Rui looked Mu Ziyan up and down, the more he looked at her, the more satisfied he became: "Dign and decent, elegant and majestic. Sister-in-law has a good vision. This is what a wife should be like. Beichen, you are a lucky person. . You have to cherish what you have in front of you."

Mu Ziyan held Xiao Beichen's hand tightly and chuckled: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will... be good to Xiao Beichen for the rest of my life."

Cheri smiled.

Laughing so heartily that I almost couldn’t close my mouth from ear to ear.

"Okay, okay. When I get better, I will officiate your wedding. I will hold a wedding for you in Zhonghai. After you get married, you can go to Beiliang together."

At this point, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Xiao Beichen had a lot of things he wanted to ask, but after seeing the long-lost bright smile on Xie Rui's face, he couldn't bear it.

The three of them chatted with Xie Rui in the ward until late at night.

It wasn't until Aunt Thirteen said, "Aunt Second is still recovering and needs more rest." Xiao Beichen reluctantly left with Mu Ziyan.

Before anyone could reach the door, Sherry was already lying on the bed and fast asleep.

Aunt Thirteen comforted her for a while, then came to the door: "Junior brother, I have carefully checked the situation of Second Aunt..."

Halfway through her words, she stopped, as if she had something to hide.

Xiao Beichen vaguely noticed something: "Thirteenth Aunt, tell me what you have to say."

Aunt Thirteen sighed: "Although the blood poison in her body has disappeared, her body has experienced five years of torture and humiliation, coupled with excessive grief. Both her spirit and body have been greatly destroyed. Her life has been seriously overdrawn. . If I hadn’t relied on one breath to forcibly support it, I’m afraid it would have been gone long ago.”

Xiao Beichen said: "How long will it take?"

Previously, Xiao Beichen couldn't bear to interrupt Xie Rui's cheerful smile and did not check Xie Rui's body.

Moreover, Thirteenth Aunt has extraordinary medical skills. She has seen it... and that's it.

Aunt Thirteen said: "It can be as fast as two months, as slow as three months. At most... three months. I also took the fifth-grade elixir before, but the effect... is no longer significant. Her body was ripped out It’s too empty.”

boom!

Xiao Beichen stood there blankly, as if he had been hit hard.

It can be as fast as three months...as slow as three months.

Xiao Beichen didn't believe what others said.

But Aunt Thirteen said that he had to believe it.

My own hand was healed with the help of Thirteenth Aunt... not to mention other things.

Mu Ziyan held Xiao Beichen's hand tightly and wanted to say something to comfort her, but she couldn't. Just hold her hand tightly.

Sherry...so miserable.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen came to his senses: "My aunt, I wanted you to see with your own eyes the moment when I rebuilt the Xiao family in Longshan. But when I come back this time, even if I am King Xiao Bei... If I want to decide The overall situation of the eighteen provinces in Huaidong is the culprit behind the scenes. It can't be done without a year or two..."

This is the truth.

Xiao Beichen is of course the Xiao Bei King of Beiliang.

There are indeed seventy-two regions in Beiliang, with a vast land spanning tens of thousands of miles.

But this is not Beiliang after all.

Huaidong also has eighteen provinces!

Eighteen provinces! !

How many wealthy noble families there are, how many strong men there are!

It took his grandfather Xiao Qianlong half his life to complete the Northern Expedition starting from Zhonghai and establish the Xiao family in Dinglongshan. Leading the Xiao family to become a top-notch wealthy family in Huaidong.

It would be impossible for Xiao Beichen to complete the Northern Expedition in a year or two when he goes south this time.

Moreover, the Beiliang Prince's Palace is not Xiao Beichen's personal power, it is the official power of Beiliang. He has the sacred mission of guarding the seventy-two regions of Beiliang. How could Xiao Beichen be able to mobilize and use it at will?

What's more, Xiao Beichen has resigned from his position and title of King Xiao Beichen when he goes south this time.

Beiliang has complex factions, with constant overt and covert fighting.

Among all the families who have reached the top level of wealth, which one is not fighting openly and secretly?

Not to mention such a huge thing as Beiliang Prince's Mansion.

After smoking two cigarettes, Xiao Beichen said to Ziyan: "Zi Yan, please order Chen Guohua to speed up the reconstruction project of Zhonghai Xiao's mansion. Within two months, I will see a Zhonghai Xiao's mansion that is exactly the same as usual."

"Within two months, I will take back the body of my second uncle and kill everyone who participated in the destruction of the Xiao family in Zhonghai. With their heads, I will reopen the Xiao family in Zhonghai. Since I can't let my second aunt see Longshan Xiao, On the day when the Xiao Family in Zhonghai reopens, I must let Second Aunt see the reopening of Xiao Family in Zhonghai!"

……

In the next few days, Xiao Beichen did not only guide Liu Qi and others in their cultivation. The rest of the time was spent in the special care ward of Jinrui Hospital.

Talk and chat with Sherry.

Tell her happy things.

After Xie Rui's health improved, she was able to sit in a wheelchair. Xiao Beichen pushed her wheelchair and took her to various places in Zhonghai.

Yanbo Lake, Big Wild Goose Pagoda.

He also took Xie Ru to Jiangzhong Ye Mansion and met Xie Wenhua and Xie Ru.

Brothers and sisters are extremely cordial when they meet.

It's fun.

Especially Xie Wenhua and Xie Ru were extremely happy after seeing Xie Rui, and expressed on the spot that they wanted Xie Rui to stay in Ye Mansion. We will never be separated again.

Xie Rui was naturally in a good mood.

Xiao Beichen stood nearby, watching the three brothers and sisters enjoying themselves, especially when he saw the smile on the second aunt's face... He felt very relieved.

Perhaps, letting the second aunt stay in Ye Mansion for the time being... is the best destination for her for the time being.

After making up their minds, Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan discussed it.

Xiao Beichen and Mu Ziyan originally decided to take Xie Rui to Yanyu Tower to stay temporarily after he was discharged from the hospital.

But in Ye Mansion, Xie Rui was obviously happier.

After a brief discussion, the two decided that it would be more appropriate for Xie Rui to stay in Ye Mansion.

After finalizing the deal, Mu Ziyan went shopping for household items to help Xie Rui. During this period, both Zhang Lan and Mu Tianhao came to visit with gifts, which made Xie Rui extremely happy.

Xie Rui didn't ask any questions about Mu Ziyan's family background, he just kept saying that Mu Ziyan was good and she was a perfect match for Beichen.

Immediately afterwards, Xie Guyang went down the mountain to visit Xie Rui, his daughter.

Father and daughter hugged tightly.

Tears flowed down my face.

Xiao Beichen looked at all this with warmth in his heart.

From that day on, Ye Mansion was always filled with laughter and laughter. Xiao Beichen saw that Xie Rui had completely integrated into the life of the Xie family, and the number of visits gradually decreased. But he still insists on coming to talk to Xie Rui every day.

I would like to ask about the death of the Xiao family in Zhonghai that day.

But Xiao Beichen couldn't bear it.

As a witness and victim of the demise of the Xiao family in Zhonghai, Xie Rui finally stepped out of the shadows and returned to a normal life.

How could Xiao Beichen bear to reveal her scar again? Let her feel pain again?

That night, after Xiao Beichen accompanied Xie Rui to sleep, a happy smile appeared on his face.

Aunt, please sleep well.

Tomorrow, I will go to Xiling.

You have a good rest and leave many things to me.

But, I'm afraid I won't be able to come see you tomorrow.

After muttering a few words in his heart, Xiao Beichen stood up and left.

When he reached the gate of Ye Mansion, Xie Ru suddenly caught up with him: "Xiao Beichen, wait a moment."

Xiao Beichen stopped: "Is something wrong?"

Xie Ru took out a thick envelope and handed it to Xiao Beichen: "This is a letter from my sister to you."

Xiao Beichen was stunned: "For me?"

Xie Ru sighed: "Xiao Beichen, you asked us to hide it from my sister and not let her know what you are going to do next. But she is your biological aunt. How could she not know what you think? ?”

"She knew you were going to Xiling tomorrow, so she wrote you a letter."

After handing the letter to Xiao Beichen, Xie Ru left, leaving behind a message.

"There are many things you want to do, so go ahead and do it. Don't worry, I will take good care of my sister. Don't worry."

Xiao Beichen walked to an ancient locust tree at the door, couldn't wait to open the envelope, and started reading by the street lamp.

The most familiar handwriting appears on the paper.

Yes, it's the second aunt's handwriting.

However, it is a little less sharp and a little more thick than five years ago.

——Beichen, my good boy from the Xiao family.

Being able to see you again this time will make Auntie feel that this life is enough.

Xiao Baiye and I's children died in the Langya Mountains when they were young, and we have not had any more children since then. From that moment on, I regarded you as my own child. Because I doted on you too much, your mother complained about me and was a little jealous~

Your mother and you have not had a good relationship since childhood.

She rejects you, neglects you, and scolds you harshly. I haven’t even said a few words to you since I was a child.

Several times you made a mistake and your mother whipped you.

But please don't have any resentment in your heart.

Because you don't understand your mother.

There are many things that you will understand when you grow up. She is the greatest mother in the world!

Seeing this, Xiao Beichen suddenly looked solemn and his face was distorted.

The past with my mother when I was a child came to mind.

What the second aunt said is absolutely correct.

Her mother had been extremely strict with Xiao Beichen since she was a child, and she was cold and taciturn.

Since childhood, I can count on my fingers the number of things my mother has said to Xiao Beichen.

Xiao Beichen has never felt maternal love.

When he was young, Xiao Beichen once resented his mother. Why can't I feel my mother's love like other children?

As he grew up, Xiao Beichen gradually became sensible.

The resentment in my heart naturally disappeared.

As a son of a human being, you should never resent your mother.

But those things were still like a thorn piercing deeply into Xiao Beichen's heart.

All this lingers.

After a long time, Xiao Beichen slowly recovered and continued to look down.

——Beichen, I know you will not give up on rebuilding the glory of the Xiao family. No matter how much I try to persuade you, I can't change you. But you can hide it from me and take me to spend a few days of leisure. Auntie is very happy.

I know what you want to know, but my aunt didn’t tell you in person... because that past was so dark, and for the past five years, every time I think about it, my heart feels like a knife. I'm worried that I won't be able to speak out, and I'm worried that I'll collapse mid-sentence. So, I had to write it down on paper.

The text here has traces of being scratched by watermarks and has some wrinkles.

Xiao Beichen, those were the tears that my second aunt shed when she wrote the letter.

——Five years ago, in the [-]th year of the Great Summer, on July [-]th, the sky was filled with autumn leaves. Your second uncle was expelled from the Xiao family in Longshan and went south to settle in Zhonghai with the top-secret order from the Xiao family house. On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month of the same year, the Xiao family in Longshan was wiped out overnight, and their blood flowed like a river. On that day, there was a heavy snowfall in Huaidong that had never happened in thirty-five years.

A heavy snow covered all the bloodstains of the Xiao family in Longshan and froze all the corpses. Erased everything.

Seven days later, on the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, you fled south to Jianmen Pass, where you were cut into pieces by Luo Tianyang. You were meant to die. It was a woman in green clothes who came to save you. After that, you talked with Tang Ziyue, and on the same day, you traveled [-] miles westward to Kunlun while lying on the ice and climbing in the snow.

Three days later, on the eighteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, the Xiao family in Zhonghai suffered a disaster.

Li Longcang, Rong Yu, Li Chuanfu, and Luo Nanxiao were like demons, rushing into the Xiao family's mansion in Zhonghai and slaughtering them all the way.

They kill everyone they see!

Kill them all, regardless of whether they are Xiao's children or not!

Even the maids around me and a person who came to Xiao's house to do housekeeping were brutally murdered.

Bai Ye was not there at that time, and I knelt on the ground and begged. Ask them to spare innocent people.

Useless!

In the end, all three children adopted by Bai Ye and me were killed by them in front of me. A dozen other relatives were massacred.

I begged, yelled, and shouted...but to no avail. I wanted to die for them, but it was no use. I can only watch my child die in front of me and can't do anything!

Seeing this, Xiao Beichen couldn't hold back the tears rolling in his eyes anymore and burst down the embankment.

The watermarks on the letter paper here are densely packed.

The handwriting is trembling.

It can be seen how painful and desperate Xie Rui was when writing this letter.

——And I... was considered by them to be the only person who knew the whereabouts of the token, and was imprisoned and tortured. Only then was he lucky enough to survive. But I didn’t want to live, but I survived. I was tortured, imprisoned, and abused by countless people. He was even planted with a blessing technique, which caused mental hallucinations. But the whereabouts of the token was never revealed.

Because I know once I say it. Then whether it is the Longshan Xiao family or the Zhonghai Xiao family... everyone's sacrifices have become meaningless.

Finally, after five years, you are here.

In fact, I don't know the whereabouts of the token at all, and Bai Ye never told me. He said it was for my own good, and he took on everything by himself. It's just that I figured out some clues myself.

At that time, Bai Ye had already realized something and chose to go to the Pingjiang Governor's Mansion in Beishan alone to express his love. I just hope to use him alone to divert their firepower and protect our Longshan Xiao family. But Bai Ye finally underestimated the viciousness of those people!

Those people have gone crazy...because of the paranoia in their hearts, they destroyed the entire Xiao family in Zhonghai.

They are not humans, they are demons!

He is a demon on earth! ! !

——As for the token, it doesn’t belong to your second uncle. He secretly went to the Tianxiang Gate. Others, I don't know.

After reading the content of the letter, Xiao Beichen sat blankly under the ancient locust tree.

"Second Aunt...my good aunt. You and Second Uncle had a perfect family, but it was our Xiao family that caused trouble for you."

"Beichen, as the young commander of Longshan, I failed to protect your family. I'm sorry!"

"Aunt, I'm sorry!"

Xiao Beichen covered his face and cried.

Even though he is the lofty King Xiao Bei, he is still a person after all. He was once a son of man!

How can we not feel sad and angry when faced with such a thing? !

After a long time, Xiao Beichen slowly recovered, lit a cigarette for himself, and burned the letter.

This is top secret and cannot be kept.

call!

Xiao Beichen took a deep breath of cigarette: "Second Aunt, let all the grief and past in you be burned to ashes along with this letter and disappear completely. From now on, you will never have to be sad again. ”

"The shame of my Longshan Xiao family has also disappeared like this fire."

Staring at the beating flame, his eyes were piercing.

"Take me back to the Crescent Moon and build a great sword array for Zhonghai. Then I will start...the Northern Expedition!"

"The darkness has passed and the brilliance is coming."

"Auntie, I must let you see this bright light in your lifetime!"

"must!"

……

Back at Yanyu Building, Xiao Beichen sat next to the desk.

I picked up the long-lost pen and wrote a reply to my aunt.

Every stroke is written very carefully.

Auntie has some words that are difficult to say orally.

Xiao Beichen... so why not?

When I finished writing the letter, it was already ten o'clock in the night.

Xiao Beichen looked up at the moonlight outside the window, lost in thought.

Tomorrow, it’s time to head to Xiling.

Canglong Marquis Mansion, Gu Jinchen, Uncle Ba, Qin Wu of Huaidong Qin Clan, Li Longcang, Wei Ziqing...

Xiao Beichen recited these names silently.

"Li Longcang, one of the four bosses, it's your turn."

The voice was not loud, with a bit of desolation.

At this moment, Xue Wu suddenly walked in: "Your Majesty, someone is looking for you."

These days, Xue Wu has been secretly accompanying Mu Ziyan.

Xiao Beichen said: "Who?"

Xuewu said: "She said her name is Li Weiyang, and she came as an appointment. Use the Qi-gazing Technique to help you see a person."

A smile finally appeared on Xiao Beichen's lips: "It's finally here. It's time for you to use your qi-gazing technique to help me see her..."
