Life is as short as a spring dream

Chapter 28

Mo Keliang didn't know where Huamanzhu was, but Ren Pingsheng definitely knew.

In the past few years, he hid in the mountains to recuperate from his injuries, and practiced using a sword with his left hand.Those days that felt like years allowed him to quickly sort out the context of the whole thing.

He didn't want to admit that Huamanzhu, whom he regarded as his adopted son, was involved in this matter, but all the evidence obtained from the secret investigation clearly pointed to him.

Mo Kequan has never escaped from the General's Mansion in the South in his entire life.The reincarnation of heaven, he knew that sooner or later there would be retribution, but this retribution came so fiercely and cruelly, he used his beloved, innocent woman, and more than 30 lives under his family to redeem the sins he committed alone, he Not reconciled, too unwilling.

Ren Pingsheng was once his most beloved disciple.When I first picked it up, I was as skinny as a stick, standing alone by the side of the road, with only a pair of black eyeballs shining.He still remembered that when he was picked up for the first time, he tilted his head, leaned into his arms defenselessly and hungrily, and jumped into his chest like a fire that had just risen.

Raised but terribly naughty, it's a headache.But it is indeed lovable, he is the best at acting like a baby when he gets into trouble, and practicing martial arts is also an excellent material.Because of the overlapping expressions at that moment, Hua Manzhu was brought back. He thought that the two children were with each other, but they really raised a wolf cub.

How deep must such a young child be to keep everyone in the dark for so many years?

Thinking of these things, Mo Keliang felt cold all over his body, filled with resentment, remorse, and pain. One day, he suddenly realized that the man with white hair and shadowy eyes reflected in the river water was no longer recognizable.

He hid in Yangzhou for more than half a month, but he never knew that Ren Pingsheng and Hua Manzhu were also here.He had already noticed that there was something different in the general's mansion recently, and he was surprised to see Ren Pingsheng and Hua Manzhu appearing today.He has been in the general's mansion for many years, and he knew at a glance that there was something wrong with the guards in the mansion today, as if someone deliberately arranged to relax, so it was easy to sneak in.

Yan Pinyu is dead, so after killing Hua Manzhu, he can calmly go to the spring to meet his wife.

When Ren Pingsheng woke up, Mo Keliang had disappeared.He closed his eyes and opened them again. Maybe it was a dream?

But no.He was lying on the pile of meadow that Mo Keliang had just sat on.

Sitting up, my head hurts and swells.Where did master go?Are you looking for Huamanzhu?

Ren Pingsheng smiled wryly, walked to the back of the house, paid respects to his mistress, and then left the empty room.

He followed his legs all the way, not wanting to exert any strength.Don't think about where Mo Keliang is going to find Hua Manzhu, or whether he is just following behind and waiting for him to find Hua Manzhu; don't think about what kind of person Hua Manzhu is; don't think about Mo Keliang What he said was somewhat true and somewhat false, and if he didn't go to adopt Huamanzhu, it had something to do with that map that even the General's Mansion wanted to own.

Entering Yangzhou City, the streets are still bustling with people.In my ears, I could vaguely hear someone discussing that something happened to General Yan's mansion, and the Imperial Envoy was coming.They were discussing lively while doing what they were doing. They were used to the prosperity and peace here. No one cared whether Yan Pinyu himself was still there.

Ren Pingsheng didn't want to care about anything.He smelt wine and sat down.After drinking a pot, Ren Pingsheng remembered again, hey, it was also in Yangzhou back then, when Hua Manzhu was drunk, they kissed for the first time.

Huamanzhu can't drink, is it just pretending?

I used to think that wine has all kinds of flavors, but at this moment, in this place full of fireworks, I can't drink any of them.

As dusk approaches, the scenery of Yangzhou is even more alluring.Ren Pingsheng stood up, still following his legs.

His head hurt even more, but the more he wanted to get drunk, the more sober he became.

Someone followed him, but it was definitely not Mo Keliang, who would not let him notice.He didn't use any skill at this time, and he could still feel someone following him, presumably they were just young people.After kicking his legs, Ren Pingsheng felt a little tired, so he didn't leave, and sat down leaning against the wall by the side of the road.

A figure flashed behind him and hid.Ren Pingsheng sneered, counting the distant lanterns in boredom, waiting for him to show up.After a long time, the man finally poked his head out tentatively. Seeing that Ren Pingsheng was drunk and unresponsive, he walked over slowly.

He was actually a little beggar at the age of six.Ren Pingsheng fumbled around, found nothing to eat but a money bag, and threw it to him with a wave of his hand.The kid picked up the purse and didn't leave.

"It's gone." Ren Pingsheng spread his hands, "It's all for you."

"You're a bad guy!" the child said suddenly, Ren Pingsheng saw the child was holding a rock tightly in his hand, and just threw it at him.But he didn't have much strength, and he didn't dare to approach, the stone fell at Ren Pingsheng's feet.

Ren Pingsheng looked at the stone and smiled: "I didn't say I was a good person."

"You are a bad person!" the child shouted again, and suddenly rushed forward, as if death was at home.

Ren Pingsheng jumped up suddenly, and lifted the child up as soon as he stretched out his hand.

"Let go of me! I'm going to kill you!" The child waved his arms and legs wildly, throwing a jasper pendant from his dirty clothes.

Ren Pingsheng frowned, this pendant looks familiar, it looks expensive, it should be from some wealthy family.

"What do you want to do?" Ren Pingsheng stared at the child and asked.

"I want revenge!" The child's face was so dirty that he couldn't see his face, but his eyes were full of hatred seriously.

It's revenge again... Ren Pingsheng smiled wryly, why is there so much hatred in this world, you want revenge, I want revenge, and he wants revenge too.

However, Ren Pingsheng remembered that this pendant had indeed been seen before.Yunshuilou once asked him to kill the magistrate of Bianzhou, he took the head and left, leaving the frightened wives, concubines and children in the house to be too lazy to care.This pendant should be worn by a child in that mansion.

With a wave of his hand, Ren Pingsheng shook the child away.The child was in pain from the fall, but he still turned his head and scolded him viciously.Ren Pingsheng squatted down beside him, and said very seriously: "You can't take revenge, if you want to live well, forget about these things."

After speaking, Ren Pingsheng left.Yangzhou is so big, it is hard to find a quiet place.Where are you going?

Before Ren Pingsheng could think clearly, he looked up and found that he had walked outside the inn where he was staying before.Du Yu has taken over this place, and now that no one else is there, and the innkeeper doesn't welcome guests, it looks empty.

Ren Pingsheng thought for a while, then walked in.Xiao Er was dozing off, looked at Ren Pingsheng in a daze, nodded with a familiar face, said "The guest officer is back", and fell asleep again.

They entered the hospital through the hall, and there was no light in the small courtyard where they lived.The peach blossom season is almost over, and under the moonlight, the petals are sparse and pitiful.The sound of Ren Pingsheng's footsteps echoed in the empty corridor and spread far away.

Pushing open the door, the room was darker than the outside.

Hua Manzhu sat on the couch in front of the window, turned her head and looked this way.

It seemed like yesterday, before going to Yan’s mansion, the two of them sat cross-legged in the same place, Hua Manzhu told him, Brother, I’ve always wanted to find a place where there are mountains, forests, birds and trees, and large lakes. Just the two of us, making a fire and cooking, fishing and joking...

How did Ren Pingsheng answer?

"Wait a minute." Ren Pingsheng said suddenly, "I have a few words to tell him, master, wait a moment."

The sword energy stagnated behind him.Ren Pingsheng walked into the house, and his immeasurable figure turned out from behind the corridor. The sword in his hand was particularly bright under the faint moonlight.

"Brother, you are back." Hua Manzhu raised his head, but it was too dark, Ren Pingsheng could not see his expression, "I have been waiting for you for a long time."

"Master is here to take your life." Ren Pingsheng stopped two steps away from Huamanzhu.

"What about you?" Hua Manzhu asked flatly.

"why?"

"You are Jishan," Hua Manzhu hid in the darkness, faintly smiling, "I am my parents."

"But Jishan is to you, and you also have the grace of nurturing."

"When I was young, they all said that I was a child prodigy, and that I would be famous all over the world and occupy a high position in the officialdom." Hua Manzhu paused, "My father said that no matter how successful the Lu family is, it is a matter of honor to become an official after all. Later I After checking bit by bit, I found out that he offended the Yan Mansion because of me.

"My mother kept running and running with me in her arms. Seeing that she couldn't run, she hoped that I could hide in the reed pond without being discovered. I watched her die. The blood was splashed all over her body. Then, he I walked over with my mother's blood on my body. I don't know why, but at that moment, I decided to pretend to be a child who didn't know anything.

"I didn't know I would meet you. I tried to please you, and I secretly investigated the truth. In the end, I finally made such a decision. I found someone to prepare a secret passage in the back mountain. No matter how bad the situation is, I can still protect you .”

Hua Manzhu stood up slowly, getting closer to Ren Pingsheng, "When my wife arranged for us to go to Yangzhou, I doubted it, but I didn't know when those people who came for the treasure would come. Now that I want to come, my wife thought that Those people will be unfavorable to me... Mistress really treats me sincerely, I am sorry for her."

He took another step closer, "Brother, are you here to kill me too?"
