son sick

"you're awake?"

Qi Nian asked with concern.

He was still wearing the white clothes before, but he had an extra paper fan with the moon and peach blossoms painted on it.

Ling Yin was sitting beside him, wagging his fingers leisurely.

"You..." Lian Meng scratched his head and recalled for a while, before he suddenly came to his senses, "You all pretended to lie to me earlier?"

Qi Nian closed his fan and quickly shook his head: "I will never lie to you."

"..." Lian Meng knew that he couldn't explain clearly to him, so he turned to Ling Yin.

Unexpectedly, that person also shook his head: "What I told you is also the truth."

"Then why did you knock me out?"

"If I didn't make you dizzy, would you be so obedient and leave with us?"

"..."

Lian Meng was in a hurry, but he had nothing to say.

He really couldn't figure out what kind of medicine the two men were selling in their gourds.

However, regardless of whether it is worm-like or not, crazy or not, his task is just to get that white jade peony flower pendant.

The delay has been long enough now, and it is time for soft-heartedness to come to an end.

Thinking about it, Lian Meng stretched out his hand towards Qi Nian, frowned, and said, "Give me the jade pendant, or I will be impolite."

Seeing him threatening, Ling Yin was about to speak, but Qi Nian blocked his hand with a folding fan.

He looked at Lian Meng with a smile, his brows and eyes were curved, and he looked extremely gentle: "I know you were ordered to take that flower pendant, but I can't give you that flower pendant right now."

"Really?" Lian Meng touched the hidden weapon at his waist again.

"Well, I can't give it to you right now, but it's okay to lend it to you."

"borrow?"

"En." Qi Nian closed the folding fan, and then took out the white jade peony pendant from the skirt.

Lian Meng didn't realize what was going on, but when he saw the flower pendant in front of him, he subconsciously reached out to grab it.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, a hidden weapon suddenly flew in from outside the carriage.

The black shadow flew past Lian Meng's ears, and finally with a blunt sound, it landed heavily on the window sill of the carriage.

This electric light flint...

Lian Meng breathed out, and after a while, he finally came to his senses: "Ha, my junior brother..."

He turned his head while talking, but shut his mouth the moment he saw the "hidden weapon".

Because, it was not the dart nail he thought at all, but a black poisonous scorpion.

"It seems that your junior brother turned into this poisonous scorpion to look for you when he couldn't wait for you?" Ling Yin laughed.

"..." Lian Meng didn't answer.He looked at the poisonous scorpion and felt a little strange.

The poisonous scorpion had a strange green juice on its body, it didn't look like it was from the Central Plains.

Moreover, there are not many sects that use poisonous substances as weapons.

After much deliberation, there is only one answer.

Lian Meng hadn't figured out why, but at this moment, Ling Yin took out a bamboo tube and put the poisonous scorpion in it.

"Scorpions are poisonous!" he said in amazement.

"So?" Ling Yin glanced at him, then put the palm-length wooden tube on the lid and put it in the sleeve.

That movement was so casual, like picking an inconspicuous little flower by the roadside.

Then he turned his head and looked at Qi Nian with a serious expression: "Someone is chasing you."

"Yeah." Qi Nian was still shaking his fan slowly.

"Who is here, do you have an idea?"

"..." Qi Nian put away his folding fan and frowned slightly.

Lian Meng looked at the two of them, suddenly a little strange: "Why, you have many enemies?"

"..." Ling Yin glanced at him and said angrily, "Who do you think recruited them all?"

Seeing his unkind eyes, Lian Meng couldn't help but startled: "What do you mean by that?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a black shadow flashed past the car window.

Lian Meng glanced vigilantly, then turned out of the window and leaned carefully on the side of the carriage.

In fact, when he saw the poisonous scorpion just now, he had doubts.

There are not many sects that use poisonous insects as weapons in the Jianghu, and the Nanjiang Tiancan Sect is the top one, but he doesn't understand why they want to attack at this time.

At this time, it was almost dusk, and the carriage hurriedly rushed among the ancient trees in the deep mountains.

The wind is rustling, and the horseshoes are Dada.Other than that, nothing happened.

Lian Mengchao looked around for a while, held his breath and waited for a while, and finally decided to strike first.

He climbed a little out from the side of the carriage, using himself as bait.

Sure enough, not long after, a small black shadow came towards him like a gust of wind.

Lian Meng fixed his eyes to determine the location of the poison, quickly threw out the bone nail, and nailed the poisonous scorpion to the tree trunk beside the road.

Then, he threw a few more darts at the place where the shadows of the trees were swaying before.

The dart hit the shadow in the dense forest, and the hiding person fell down a few steps, seemingly injured, and then flew away with ease.

After making sure that there was no other movement around, Lian Meng climbed back into the carriage.

He saw that Young Master Qi was still waving his fan leisurely, as if he had no idea how critical the situation was just now.

"The ones here are from the Tiancan Sect." Lian Meng sat back in his seat and looked at them and said.

Ling Yin didn't speak, and Qi Nian just nodded lightly.

The expressions of the two were calm, but Lian Meng didn't intend to expose the matter.He looked at the two of them, and asked casually, "By the way, what happened that day? Why did the disciple of the Tiancan Sect die suddenly?"

Qi Nian's hand holding the fan obviously paused for a moment, but the expression on his face didn't fluctuate too much, and his voice was unusually calm.

"I don't know what happened."

"I don't know?" Lian Meng raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

At this time, Ling Yin who was next to him took up the conversation: "I heard people say that they were drinking in the hall that day, and while drinking, they disappeared."

"Is that poisoned?"

"I went to see the corpse, and it doesn't look like poison."

"..."

Things are a bit strange, and it's no wonder that the Tiancanjiao decided to fight to the end.

It's just that Lian Meng couldn't figure it out, why did they believe that this crazy and foolish Young Master Qi did all of this?

"Anyway, this matter has nothing to do with my young master." Ling Yin said slowly, "He was ill in bed for three days during the banquet, and..."

"Okay, Lingyin." Qi Nian put away his fan and interrupted Lingyin, "I'm a little tired, don't talk anymore."

Now that the young master opened his mouth, Lian Meng and Ling Yin resolutely shut up.

It was getting late at that time, Qi Nian closed his eyes and began to take a nap.He started beating the wooden table with his hands again, and hummed the unknown tune again.

Lian Meng wanted to ask Ling Yin for more information, but he suddenly felt very sleepy and closed his eyes and fell asleep.

※※※※

By the time the carriage stopped, it was already night.

The sky was pitch black, and there were shadows of trees all around.

And in this boundless darkness, for some reason, there was an extra brightly lit inn.

Lian Meng was awakened by Ling Yin.

When he woke up, Qi Nian was smiling and looking at him.

Then the three chatted for a while, and got out of the carriage together.

It was also at this time that Lian Meng discovered that the master and servant were not the only ones traveling this time.

Along with him was a driver in his forties, with a deep scar on his left cheek and a slightly gloomy expression.

Ling Yin said that the man was called Da Shou, a veteran who had returned from the battlefield, had stayed in the village for nearly ten years, and was a capable and reliable man.

Lian Mengrao glanced at it with interest, but was stared back with a terrifying look in his eyes.

He was exhausted here, so he had no choice but to quickly follow Shang Lingyin and Qi Nian, and followed them towards the inn.

After a while, the shop waiter ran over with a smile on his face and asked them if they were going to be a tip or stay in the shop.

Ling Yin responded without any ups and downs, and then the little girl happily shook the rag on her shoulders, and said to Lian Meng: "Little brother, would you like me to help you, take your son's luggage first?" Get off the wagon?"

"Ah?" Lian Meng didn't understand.

The shop waiter thought Lian Meng didn't understand, so he quickly gestured with his hand.

Lian Meng suddenly realized, he looked at the waiter in the shop speechlessly, and said in a muffled voice, "I am not their servant."

"is it?"

"..." This rhetorical question made Lian Meng's veins stand out.

He was about to explode, but Qi Nian immediately turned to face Ling Yin: "You take out the luggage from the carriage first, and then let Da Shou go to the stable to settle the horses."

Ling Yin responded with "Yes", and then called Xiao Er to join her.

Lian Meng looked at the back of the shopkeeper's Xiao Er as he went away, and he couldn't get angry.

He was about to curse a few more words when he was dragged to the shopkeeper's desk by Qi Nian.

"Shopkeeper, we want three guest rooms." The young man said nicely.

"Four people, three rooms?"

The old shopkeeper repeated, and Qi Nian still nodded.

Lian Meng was patronizing and angry, and it took a while to realize what was wrong.

"Why only three rooms?"

Qi Nian looked at him as a matter of course: "Da Shou is in the same room, I and..."

"I won't live in a room with you!" Lian Meng exploded again.

Qi Nian looked at him and laughed out loud: "Of course, because I live in a room with Ling Yin. My condition is unstable and I need Ling Yin to accompany me all the time."

"..." Lian Meng was a little embarrassed by this series of "embarrassments". He cleared his throat, and quickly found a table and sat down.

After a while, Ling Yin also came back.

The three sat down in the inn.Said it was dinner, and discussed the next itinerary by the way.

Even Meng wondered why the man named Dashou didn't come over, and Ling Yin just said that servants can't sit at the same table with the master.

"Aren't you a servant?"

"It wasn't me who was treated as a follower just now."

"you……"

The two were about to start a war, and Qi Nian hurriedly shouted to stop it.

Fortunately, after a short while, Xiao Er served the food.

There are five dishes in total, which happen to be Lian Meng's favorite.

Lian Meng didn't think much, picked up his chopsticks and started eating.

After taking a few mouthfuls of food, he finally couldn't help asking: "Let's be honest, what are your plans?"

"Didn't I tell you?" Qi Nian drank tea with a relaxed expression.

"Really?" Lian Meng looked at him in surprise.

"I will go to Lianyinmen with you, and after explaining the matter clearly, we will find a small village to live in, and we will be together forever."

"..."

After a while, "Eternal Life and Eternity" was added.

Lian Meng took a deep breath and decided to wait for Qi Nian to take the medicine before talking about it.

They were eating when a man dressed in vermilion suddenly walked in from outside the inn.

The man was wearing a bamboo hat, and his whole body was covered in red.

Lian Meng stared at the red dress for a long time.

The strange thing was that he had never seen that person's appearance before, but somehow he felt familiar.

"Don't look." The voice of Young Master Qi suddenly came from next to my ear.

When Lian Meng came back to his senses, he realized that Qi Nian was picking up food for him.

He reminded Lian Meng to eat well, and added at the end: "That person is your younger brother."

"What?!" Lian Monte looked over speechlessly.

At this time, the man in red also turned around.

He blinked, then winked at Lian Meng——

Although the facial features and appearance are completely different, the expressions and movements... are exactly the same as Lian Qingren.
