The son is responsible

49

I followed the strange man for a while, but the strange man found a tall tree outside Yanli City, climbed it, and stayed there for three days and three nights.

Xue Muji happened to be recovering from his leg injury, and there was a stream beside him, so he washed himself clean and recognized his brand new face by the way.

This face is not as delicate as Prince Pingjiang's, and it is not as chic as Xie Manxing. This face is pale and thin. With long-term malnutrition and no sunlight, Xue Muji instinctively needs a period of time to adapt.

He went to the stream to take a bath early in the morning and came back. He picked wild fruits and prepared to ask weird people to eat them together. He was holding the fruits, but before he walked under the tree, he heard a woman's voice, which was quite familiar.

When he approached, his eyes barely fell out, and he subconsciously called out, "Xue Mei?"

The world is so small, there are acquaintances everywhere you go!This strange man actually knew the young lady of the Pingjiang Hou Mansion, and he was very close.Three years have passed, Xue Mei is slim and graceful, and she is even more feminine.It's just that Xue Mei at this time naturally doesn't recognize his face.

The two were completely immersed in the atmosphere of the quarrel.

"I can't go with you!" Xue Mei's expression was very painful, "I'm different from you. You are alone and careless, but I have an older brother and a mother. I can't let my temperament cause my father and son to be unhappy." Happy to implicate mother and elder brother."

"If I kill them, you will no longer have any scruples!" The man sat on the rock with his back to Xue Mei, "I let go of my obsession with revenge for you, and I can pick it up again!"

Xue Mei took a step forward, hugged the man's back shoulders, and said, "No, no, if you want to move the Pingjiang Hou's mansion, I will die immediately. Besides, you have clearly investigated those old things and the grievances of the previous generation. , marrying the second uncle, hanging herself, it is entirely your sister's voluntary! The matter of changing the second child is indeed what she did, how many people can testify, even if it is unreasonable, you should not implicate innocent people !"

"Xue Mei, if you don't love me, I won't force you! But the person you love is me. You waited for me for so many years, procrastinated not to marry, and helped me find out the truth back then. Xinyi, marrying someone you don't like at all, you haven't even met this Yanli City Lord, why! I'm not reconciled! You have to come with me!"

The strange man turned around and hugged Xue Mei into his arms. Xue Mei smiled wryly, and slowly supported his mask with both hands, "Ji Ming, I'm sorry, I have no choice in this life. Years ago, the second and fourth families were separated. Only the eldest family is left. My father suffered a stroke, and the family affairs are decided by the eldest son. My elder brother clashed with the elder brother, and was picked on by the elder brother everywhere. In such a situation, only when I got married and became a matchmaker for this deal, the eldest son allowed my eldest brother to separate the family. , when the time comes, take my mother out of the Hou Mansion, and stop being angry."

The man seemed to compromise, "You and your eldest brother have paid so much for his Pingjiang Marquis Mansion, and are always thinking of the Marquis Mansion. Why is he, son of Pingjiang, making things difficult for you all the time? Emperor Yongdu has already started to take back the power of the Four Marquis Mansions. The only thing I don't care about is the Marquis of Pingjiang. He is kind. He doesn't know how to keep a low profile. He doesn't listen to your persuasion. First, he openly helps the Feng family and then sells his sister. Meimei, if you didn't stop me, I would have wanted to He taught."

"Your Majesty was not like this before." Xue Mei let him hold her, her voice filled with deep disappointment.

It does not make sense!Xue Muji was directly ignored by the two, and sat beside him listening to gossip.

He had known this strange man for so many days before he realized that this man could speak so well.Moreover, the prince who changed his soul with him is leading the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion straight to death and perdition.

Although Pingjiang Hou's Mansion has nothing to do with him now... But he still feels very uncomfortable. He once promised his brother that Pingjiang Hou's Mansion is his brother's home, his eternal backing, not his brother's burden.

Up to now, his ability is small and he can't do anything.

Maybe, I can help Xue Mei this time.Leaving aside this mysterious weirdo with high martial arts skills, he is not suitable to be an enemy.Just the eldest brother of the Xue family and Xue Mei, both of them have the skills and ability to run a business, and he treated them very well in the past, separating the family and establishing their own family can also leave a way out for the Pingjiang Houfu.

Perhaps the second bedroom and the fourth bedroom both thought so, so they separated the family.

"Ahem..." Xue Muji worked hard to show his presence, "Ahem..."

Then a sword with a scabbard stretched out, "Shut up!"

"It's actually not difficult for you to want to be together, I have a way!" Xue Muji ate the fruit gracefully.

"Say it!" "Who are you?" The two asked at the same time.

Xue Muji thought about it, and found a fake name, "You can call me Xiaowu. I need Ji Daxia to help me, I have nowhere to go, so I will help you once."

"How can you help?"

"Miss Xue, you have negotiated terms with the prince. Before you get married, your mother and elder brother left the Hou Mansion. Afterwards, when we greet you, I will pretend to be Miss Xue. We are very similar in shape, with a big wedding dress and a big head covering. Covering the face again, it is easy to confuse the public."

The three of them crossed their legs and discussed under the tree until night, Xue Mei finally said, "It's too risky, I don't agree!"

Ji Ming also shook his head, "If I want to go, I will go too!"

"Hero Ji, if you saved me, I will treat you as a favor." Xue Muji explained, "Also, the Pingjiang Hou Mansion found out that the bride had changed, so they will definitely chase after her. Brother, leave the territory under the jurisdiction of Pingjiang. If there is an emergency on the way, you are good at martial arts, and you can take care of it. I will take the carriage on my behalf and go from Pingjiang to Yanli City. A few days are just used to buy time."

"Then how do you escape? If you can't escape, neither the Yanli Yamen nor the Pingjiang Houfu will let you go."

"The mountain people have their own clever plans." Xue Muji was actually very worried, for some reason, he wanted to go back to the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion to have a look.

So Xue Muji followed Xue Mei back to the Marquis of Pingjiang, and put on the wedding dress and got into the carriage that greeted Miss Xue's family.Xue Mei still asked her eldest brother to follow her to the gate of Yanli City, in case she found a flaw on the way, and then directly joined her and Ji Ming.

very smooth!Only the person who appeared suddenly at the gate of the city was not within Xue Muji's expected range.

Fortunately, he escaped successfully!

He sat at the gate of the ruined temple and breathed a sigh of relief. Afterwards, he had to find a way to get some silver for money, and went north to Yongdu.

How should he and his brother explain the strange things that happened to him?What if his brother didn't believe him?What should I do if I dislike him and become ugly and no longer like him?

Xue Muji was thinking, when he suddenly heard a dog barking!

dog Dog Dog! ! !

The hairs all over Xue Muji's body stood on end, the barking of the dog was getting louder and getting closer to him, and the barking was one after another, not one, but many dogs!

He ran away and turned into a deserted alley, when suddenly the sound of a dog barking came out, his legs were not his own, they were as soft as cotton, and he didn't even have the strength to run!

Wang Wang Wang!Wang Wang Wang!

He leaned against the wall and managed not to fall down. His chest and lungs were almost exhaled but not inhaled. His eyes were blurred. He saw a few dogs' heads coming out of the corner of the alley. When he closed his eyes, he thought of the second room Xue Huaijin being killed. He calculated the miserable appearance of being bitten by a dog.

Nemesis?

Xue Muji felt the dog approaching him, shaking his body, the hand holding the wall no longer had any strength.He was about to fall to the ground, but he felt his body hit another person.

The barking of the dogs gradually diminished and disappeared, Xue Muji opened his eyes slightly, and the five dogs were at his feet, sticking out their tongues, licking his shoes, wagging their tails, and showing cute little eyes begging for caress.

Not knowing where the strength came from, Xue Muji jumped onto the person next to him with his hands and feet, and said tremblingly, "Dog...dog...dog..."

The man tried to pull Xue Muji off his body, and when he caught his wrist, he saw red marks on that wrist.

It is the imprint on the wrist of wearing a bracelet and anklet for a long time.

"It's you?"

When he entered the city just now, the kidnapped bride also had the same marks on her wrist.

When he felt the pulse of the people in the carriage, he knew that Xue Mei was a man in disguise.Although he didn't know the reason, he had received a secret decree for this trip, and three government officials died in a row, but nothing was found out, so he couldn't reveal his identity prematurely.

Besides... the current him is not qualified to manage the affairs of the Pingjiang Marquis Mansion.

Xue Muji's body was warm, his sanity gradually came back, this man spoke like his brother.wrong?This person is clearly...

He turned his head sharply, the familiar sword, the pattern coiled, the familiar shadow, like the wind, and the familiar face.

"elder brother……"

The words were in his throat, but before he could utter a sound, his body fell heavily to the ground.

pain pain pain pain...

A few people came out of the ruined temple, they seemed to be dressed as ordinary people.But they moved neatly. When they saw the Lord, they knelt down and worshiped. It seemed that they had been trained.

"Get up and talk."

"Lord Lu, my subordinates have checked and found that these dogs are all unowned wild dogs nearby."

Lu Zhao nodded and asked, "What's the situation in the temple?"

"This temple has been abandoned for a long time, and it is ordinary. I don't think there is anything suspicious about it."

Someone else said, "But the three officials who died did indeed write about this temple in their notes."

Lu Zhao wanted to enter the temple, but found that he couldn't walk.The man who had just been thrown to the ground by him lay horizontally in front of his feet.

"I..." Xue Muji's thoughts turned. In front of so many people, many things are unclear, and his brother may not believe such unimaginable things, "I...I...I'm afraid of dogs!"

A few docile wolf dogs are taking a leisurely walk in front of the temple gate.

Lu Zhao stared at the people under his feet for a while, and then gave orders to others, "There may be an accident in the yamen today. Pass the order down, stay still, and don't startle the snake. Fourteenth, you go and inquire, how will they find Miss Xue's family? People make things a little bit of a hindrance."

"Yes." Several people answered in unison.
