But in the rivers and lakes

The days went by so calmly, but on this day, an unexpected visitor came to Feiyu Pavilion——Xiao Chen.Since leaving Wuxia Villa, Shen Yun has been trying to find his whereabouts, but Xiao Chen has been acting mysteriously, if he doesn't show up, no one will be able to find him.The old man obviously knew him, and he welcomed him in without telling Su Lianmo. Seeing his old friend again, Shen Yun was so excited that he held his hand heavily, without saying a thousand words.

After a few indifferent greetings, Su Lianmo yawned and went back to the room to rest, leaving the two of them in the hall.Xiao Chen was very thoughtful, even though he didn't ask a question, he could already see that the relationship between them was extraordinary, some things couldn't be hidden, and they didn't try to hide it either.On the table was good tea, which made him very surprised: "I haven't seen you in just a few months, and your temper has changed?"

Shen Yun smiled and said: "I really don't drink anymore."

Xiao Chen stared at him strangely: "I remember you once said that everything in the world can't be enjoyed without wine."

Shen Yun sighed: "Yes, but that is the past after all. Only when people look forward will they know what they want."

Xiao Chen looked at him like this for a long time before saying: "You have really changed."

Shen Yun picked up the tea bowl: "Wine is a pleasure, walking in the rivers and lakes requires this kind of freedom, but now I can only drink tea."

Xiao Chen said: "If you want to leave, he will not stop you."

Shen Yun shook his head and said, "But he won't leave, so I can only stay."

Xiao Chen took a sip of tea, the taste was slightly astringent, with a sweet aftertaste, light and soft, like a spring breeze, and this kind of softness was not suitable for Shen Yun, just like he was not suitable for the brocade clothes of Feiyu Pavilion Jade food is average.Shen Yun belongs to the Jianghu, his sword is the sword of freedom, he should ride a fast horse and drink strong wine, galloping between heaven and earth, instead of being bound in this deep house compound.

But Xiao Chen didn't say anything, this was Shen Yun's own decision, and he had no right to interfere.After a moment of silence, Shen Yun asked, "Has there been any changes in the world recently?"

Xiao Chen said: "Since that day, all the sects in the Jianghu have respected Wuxia Villa, and they have not done anything since Wuxia Villa didn't speak out, but there is one incident that has been widely circulated."

Shen Yun frowned slightly: "You mean..."

Xiao Chen glanced outside the house, and said: "There are rumors in the world that Jiang Shili is seriously ill, and even the genius doctor Xue Haohua is helpless. Wuxia Villa is visiting famous doctors all over the world. Someone mentioned Su Lianmo's name, saying that he has excellent medical skills and has the ability to bring the dead back to life." , The Jiang family has started to discuss this matter with Wuxia Villa, or they will appear in Luoyang in a short time."

Shen Yun said: "Lianmo has never practiced medicine, how can people in the world know that he has medical skills?"

Xiao Chen's complexion was not very good either: "So there must be something strange about this matter."

Shen Yun pondered for a moment: "You mean that this is most likely an excuse found by Wuxia Villa so that they can come to Luoyang in an open and honest manner?"

Xiao Chen said: "The current Wuxia Villa is not what it used to be. Mu Yunze will not let it go. You and I both know Jiang Shili's identity. Her strange illness may have something to do with Mu Yunze."

Shen Yun frowned and asked, "Can they start now?"

Xiao Chen shook his head and said: "In the past, Wuxia Villa acted ostentatiously, and any disturbance would spread to the Jianghu, but Mu Yunze is not Mu Baichuan after all, and the two of them have very different personalities. Even the news about Jiang Shili may be intentional. released."

He guessed right, Mu Baichuan's ambitions are all revealed on the surface, while Mu Yunze has always looked like a middle-of-the-road gentleman. He regards himself as a junior and respects the heads of every faction. He doesn't seem to have the slightest ambition to dominate the world. However, if this is the case, he will not risk the ruin of Wuxia Villa by poisoning the entire villa at the centennial celebration. Far from being comparable to Mu Baichuan.

Shen Yun recalled the first time he saw him, that gentle smile was finally killed by him himself.He sighed deeply, and said: "His current martial arts cultivation has reached the top level, and there are few people in the Jianghu who can beat him."

Xiao Chen sighed and said: "If I had noticed this earlier that day, maybe there would be a turning point."

Shen Yun was silent for a while, and said, "Don't tell Lianmo about this for now."

Xiao Chen looked at the room: "Feiyu Pavilion has been built for three years, and he seldom stays here. I have never seen him show such a relaxed expression. Shen Yun, maybe your choice is right."

Shen Yun smiled: "I just want to try my best to protect him."

Xiao Chen's eyes became serious: "But the grievances from 25 years ago are still unresolved, and the old things may happen again."

The twilight was thick, the courtyard was groggy, and the fiery red evening light fell down, leaving countless shadows on the doors and windows. Shen Yun looked outside the house and said quietly: "It will end, one day..."

It was already late at night when he returned to the room, Su Lianmo sat by the window bored, looking at the large desolate rocks in the courtyard, the moonlight shone on him, casting a layer of silvery brilliance on him.Shen Yun took a cloak and put it on his shoulders, and asked, "Why don't you plant some flowers and plants in the yard?"

Su Lianmo has a flamboyant personality and strives for perfection in terms of food and clothing. However, the courtyard he lives in, except for the cold rockery and pavilion, does not see any warm colors. Even the room where he sleeps is elegant and bleak. The characters are in stark contrast.He didn't look back at Shen Yun, but responded lightly: "It's just a house, why bother to take care of it."

Yes, this place is just a shelter for Su Lianmo. He is fully capable of building a more luxurious house than here, but they are all the same.Shen Yun embraced him from behind and asked, "Where do you want to go in the future?"

Su Lianmo thought for a moment, then shook her head blankly and said, "Maybe I have nowhere to go."

Shen Yun felt pain in his heart, and said softly: "Why don't you go wherever I go, how about that?"

Su Lianmo jokingly said, "If you leave me behind, wouldn't I have nothing more?"

Shen Yun's voice was soft but full of determination: "Unless I die."

Su Lianmo's heart trembled, and she turned around and looked at him: "If you dare to die, I will make your corpse into a mummy and tie it up in the house, so that you can't rest in the ground!"

Shen Yun smiled and said: "Then I will turn into a ghost and continue to guard you."

Su Lianmo curled her lips and said: "Forget it, you should live well, I don't want to be crushed by ghosts in the middle of the night." He found a comfortable position and leaned against his arms, and asked, "What did Xiao Chen say to you?" ?”

Shen Yun patted him on the shoulder and said, "He wants to live here for a few days."

Su Lianmo said strangely: "This is strange, he never wanted to get along with me in the same room in the past."

Shen Yun sighed: "In fact, he has always cared about you."

Su Lianmo does not deny this point, just like when he was besieged in the Wuxia Villa that day, Xiao Chen risked his life to save him, they rarely even had the chance to talk, but they still had a deep bond , which cannot be replaced by anything.But he still couldn't help teasing: "I think Xiao Chen came to Luoyang this time because of you. He has a deep affection for you, so don't let him down."

Shen Yun couldn't help laughing: "Is Mr. Su jealous?"

Su Lianmo thought for a while and said seriously: "Maybe I should find him a wife so that he can cut off his plans for you."

Shen Yun didn't want to joke about this matter: "He is my only true friend."

Su Lianmo knew she had made a slip of the tongue, and said stiffly: "Yes, yes, you are life and death friends, he is safe and sound now, you can finally get over the important matter on your mind."

Shen Yun shook his head helplessly. If he said he was worried, Su Lianmo was obviously no less than him. When he saw Xiao Chen for the first time, he pretended not to care. Perhaps this is the strange way they get along with each other. If he hadn't been worried, Xiao Chen would not have appeared in Luoyang.Shen Yun thought of what Xiao Chen had said, and couldn't help hugging the person in his arms tightly. Outside the window, the moon was high and the wind was low, just like a long dream.

The people at the dinner table changed from two to three, and the jug was replaced by a teapot. They all said that alcohol addiction is the hardest to quit, but if Shen Yun didn't drink it, they also felt it was boring.This place seems to be isolated from the world. There is no need to go out. Naturally, there are servants and maidservants who take care of everything. Standing on the tall buildings, all you can see are mountains and mountains, which is unique.On this day, Su Lianmo suddenly became interested, and forced them to visit the ingenious mechanism of Feiyu Pavilion. Only then did Shen Yun realize that there were passages leading to the secret room in the main rooms, and the exit And not just one.

Su Lianmo said enthusiastically: "These entrances can be sealed from the inside. Even if people outside find the mechanism, they will have no way to enter."

It's not the first time for Shen Yun to come to the secret room, but he didn't expect the ground to be so intricate and complicated. He knocked on the wall and said: "It seems that even if you have thousands of troops, you can still fight with your whole body." retreat."

Su Lianmo proudly said: "Naturally, you have to leave a way out in order to be safe."

Xiao Chen looked around and said, "Since it's the way out, why did you tell us?"

Su Lianmo said sincerely: "From now on, we will live under the same roof. We will share the blessings and difficulties together. I am very open-minded. Even if you marry a wife and have children in the future, I will not hide it." This back way."

Xiao Chen turned his head and left, unwilling to say a word, Shen Yun said helplessly: "Why do you entertain him like this?"

Su Lianmo said with a smile, "I did it for his own good. A generous person like me is rare."

The secret way is just in case. If possible, Shen Yun would rather it never be used, but things are always unpredictable. A few days later, Xiao Chen came to tell him that both Mu Yunze and Jiang Shiming had appeared in the In Luoyang City, there are several other famous figures from several other sects.They worked hard and stayed in the largest inn in the city - Shunyuan Building, and they didn't seem to want to deceive others.

Yes, under the banner of seeking medical advice and treating sick wives, it is indeed fair and aboveboard, so why hide it from others, but if it is only for this matter, why do you still have to walk with so many people in the world?
