chasing autumn

Suburb

"Brother Huolian! Are you looking for me?"

"Qingyue," Yu Huolian smiled stiffly, "...where's Fang Xu?"

Qingyue said disdainfully: "Fang Xu is in Kaifeng mansion, and he is having a "secret talk" with that Bao Zheng..."

"Fang Xu already knows my identity, doesn't he?"

"Yes, not only that, he also knows the identity of the suzerain." Qingyue pouted.

Sure enough, he told Xiaoli...

Yu Huolian gave Qingyue a jade pendant.

"This is his property, please help me and give it back to him." Yu Huolian looked at the sky, there was a thick cloud of sorrow that couldn't be shaken off.

Qingyue nodded, "Oh, I'll go right away."

"Also," Yu Huolian said, "You take him to Mr. Qin's small building..."

"Mr. Qin's small building?"

"Tell him his mother...is there."

"Mother?... Mrs. Fang is building in the bamboo forest?!"

Qingyue felt that many things seemed to be messed up all of a sudden, but she quickly guessed why, and hummed, "It's Mo Fei's good thing again?!"

Yu Huolian smiled and said, "Yes, let's go."

"Ah."

Yu Huolian looked at Qingyue's lightly leaving figure, and smiled miserably: If it's really what you imagined, then that's fine...

Beside him, Lightning came over and gently rubbed his hand.

"You also think that I shouldn't escape, don't you?"

Yu Huolian lowered her eyes and concentrated her thoughts, suddenly got on her horse and went straight to the main altar.

into the night,

Bamboo Forest Building

In Kaifeng Mansion, Fang Xu heard from Bao Zheng that Zhanhaotu Village was probably an unjust case. When he was at a loss, he was dragged and dragged by Qingyue who suddenly appeared, and took him to Zhulin Xiaozhu inexplicably.

"You said, my mother is here? How come..."

Fang Xu looked at the bamboo house in front of him and the faint lights in the bamboo house,

"What place is this?..." When he turned his head, Qingyue was no longer there.

Fang Xu pushed the door helplessly.

Qiuniang was startled, "You..."

Fang Xu asked suspiciously: "You are?..."

When Qiuniang saw the jade pendant hanging around his waist, her heart sank suddenly, and she frowned anxiously: "Who are you?! Why is this jade pendant on your body? Where is the fire lotus?!..."

In front of the altar

When Yu Huolian walked closer and closer to the entrance of the main altar, several stone statue guards looked at each other in embarrassment, and gathered around one after another, "Young master!..."

Yu Huolian glanced lightly, "I still won't let me in?" He laughed and sighed softly, "Then I'll trouble you to report it, just say, I want to see the suzerain."

"...Young master, the suzerain doesn't he..."

"Why, can't the notification work?!"

The resentment that was already unbearable surged out, and there was a burning pain in her heart, Yu Huolian said angrily: "Here, this is the place where I grew up! Why won't you let me in?! Why should he?!! He suddenly grabbed a guard and shouted furiously: "Go!! Go in and tell him! I want to see the suzerain!—I want to see him!!—"

"You want to see me?..."

At the moment when the turmoil was in full swing, a cold voice behind him broke the deadlock.

Zhan Hao, dressed in black, got off his horse, handed the reins to a guard, glanced at Yu Huolian, and said coldly: "You came just in time, I was just looking for you." Then he entered the gate of the main altar.

Yu Huolian was panting unevenly because of her anger, she stood there for a while before she realized, and followed Zhan Hao into the main altar.

*********************

"You come with me."

Behind the Youming Hall, on the left side is a stone-built mountain road, Zhan Hao is walking in front, and behind him is Yu Huolian, four or five steps away.

Speechless all the way.

From the shock at the beginning, to the sadness, and now—full of questions, I just want an answer—Yu Huolian looked at Zhan Hao's back, and for some reason, the words she wanted to ask were stuck in her chest,

Zhan Hao stood still and stopped moving forward, Yu Huolian slightly raised his eyes.In front of you is a courtyard.When Zhan Hao pushed open the courtyard door, Yu Huolian felt a trace of dilapidation and decay in the air.

——It’s not like he hasn’t been to this place before.It's just that he never dared to let Zhan Hao know.

Thinking of this, Yu Huolian couldn't help frowning, but she didn't know why father brought him here today?

The two walked through several corridors and entered a large room.

Inside the house, there are some spirit cards and some candlelight.

Zhan Hao said: "Kneel down."

Yu Huolian was taken aback, glanced at Zhan Hao who was standing beside him with a serious expression, and then glanced at the spirit tablet on the table, when he hesitated, Zhan Hao suddenly kicked him and knelt down, and shouted: "Are you deaf? !"

Yu Huolian almost fell to the ground, her expression was full of surprise and doubt, just as she was about to stand up, Zhan Hao took out a slightly yellowed booklet from the small cabinet on the altar table, thinking for a while , turned around, and lightly placed it on the low table in front of Yu Huolian.

"Don't you want to recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors?..." Zhan Hao brought a pen and inkstone, "Okay, I will let you recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors!"

Zhan Hao put down a piece of thin tissue paper and wrote three big characters on it.

"Write your name, write it yourself."

"Zhan, Yunyang..."

When Yu Huolian blurted out the words, her mind trembled and went numb.

He looked at the three elegant characters on the tissue paper, and then at the yellowed family tree in his hand.

Once, he sneaked into this room while his father was away, secretly paid respects to those who died trying to save his father from the prison, and secretly read the family tree of the Zhan family.

At that time, I had wishes and hopes in my heart... But now, everything has changed.

Many things, even if they want to escape or retreat again and again, are still as tragic as before.

Yu Huolian's eyes were gloomy,

"Why bother?... Is the suzerain reluctant to part with me as a tool?"

"……What did you say?"

Yu Huolian stood up slowly, "I am not your child, nor am I a descendant of the Zhan family. I am the same as Leng Qing..."

He raised his head, laughed at himself, and said calmly, "If you tell me frankly, I will still be grateful for the upbringing of the suzerain. But, why do you want to do this?! Is it because you are afraid of losing me, a well-trained killer? …Why on earth did I put so much effort into it? …And why did I go to avenge and lurk the court? …” He shouted, “What else should I live for?!! In your heart, what exactly put me As what? A tool for revenge?!"

When he was shocked, Zhan Hao didn't listen carefully to what Yu Huolian said, or he didn't care to listen.His face changed again and again, and he walked slowly step by step, with a cold look in his eyes,

"What did you call me?..."

"……metropolitan."

Zhan Hao frowned, "...what?"

With Zhan Hao approaching, Yu Huolian had to take two steps back, and still said coldly: "Sect Master"

Zhan Hao raised his hand and slapped his face.

Yu Huolian wiped off the blood from the corner of her mouth, and said with a sneer, "Did I say something wrong?"

Another slap cut off Yu Huolian's words.

Yu Huolian stared straight at Zhan Hao, and hummed, "Even if you beat me to death, I won't change my words."

"Okay!..." The bottom of my heart trembled, Zhan Hao laughed back angrily, grabbed the skirt of his clothes, raised his eyebrows and shouted: "Then I will beat you to death!!"
