Ruyi Jue

This place is far away from human habitation, secluded and quiet, even if they make such a mess all night, no one will disturb them.

In the early morning of the third day, they got up early, loaded a set of toiletries and dry food for the road into the carriage they had just bought, and after making sure that there were no traces left, they burned the cabin to the ground. .

Shen Yufeng spread a layer of cushions in the car, helped Yun Lian into the car, and drove the carriage slowly on the road.

Not long after the carriage drove out of the foot of the mountain, there was a sound of wheels and horseshoes coming from far and near behind.Hearing the sound, Shen Yufeng leaned behind him, and saw a carriage behind him, with two familiar figures sitting on the carriage, he was stunned for a moment, and then stopped the carriage with a "wow".

Those who came were Teng Yao from Tianluo Palace and her subordinate girl.

"It's you?" Shen Yufeng said, "There's no need to see you off."

"I'm not here to see you off." Teng Yao sat at the front of the car, ordering the girl to drive here slowly, and walk side by side with their carriage.

"Then what are you here for?" Shen Yufeng asked in confusion, and Yun Lian in the car also raised the curtain at this time, looking over with curious eyes.

Teng Yao took it for granted: "Of course I will follow you to Chang'an."

She greeted Shen Yufeng and Shen Yufeng one after another, without explaining anything, she said "Let's go" casually, and let her carriage go straight past them and take a step ahead, leaving Shen Yufeng puzzled.

Yun Lian didn't ask any questions, just smiled and said, "It just so happens that we also lack a companion." Then he put down the hanging curtain.Shen Yufeng was in a daze for a moment, and then followed behind Tengyao's horse with a whip.

The two horse-drawn carriages walked fast and did not stop much on the road, but they returned to Chang'an City after a month or so.

After entering the city, Teng Yao said that he had other important matters to deal with, and immediately parted ways with Shen Yufeng, and his master and servant drove to the other direction of the city.

Shen Yufeng and Yun Lian returned to the Liu family courtyard.

After several months of separation, the Liu family courtyard was still as deserted as when they left. Shen Yufeng parked the carriage in front of the courtyard gate, carried Yun Lian off the carriage, and sent a roadside man named Huazi to the Liu family with a few copper coins. letter.After a while, Liu Hanyan got the news of their return and hurried over.

Liu Hanyan was obviously worried about their safety all the time, and when he came to the other hospital, he began to chatter and ask them about the situation in recent days.

Shen Yufeng was a little embarrassed by her question.At that time, he was depressed because of Yun Lian's poisoning, and he wanted to die with Yun Lian, so he quietly left Chang'an with Yun Lian without any parting words.Facing Liu Hanyan's earnest care now, it is inevitable that he feels a little guilty.

Yun Lian was a little better than him, and calmly explained to Liu Hanyan what they had encountered in the past few months.

Liu Hanyan was greatly surprised after hearing the strange experience of the two returning to Sichuan and encountering Granny Xuanzhen's exorcism of poison.But the girl is careful after all, she always thinks that Yun Lian has a strange poison in his body, it is impossible to recover so quickly, and there may still be some undetectable sequelae on his body, so she insists on inviting a famous doctor to treat Yun Lian.Yun Lian declined her kindness, and in order to change the subject, asked about the affairs of Chang'an City after they left.

Liu Hanyan knew that he had his own ideas, so he didn't insist anymore. He frowned and thought for a while, and said, "After you left, the sixth prince has been sending people to search for the whereabouts of the two of you in Chang'an, and even found Liu's house several times. But it's strange to say that after a few days of investigation, news spread out of nowhere in the city, saying that the two of you may have died unexpectedly, and the account book in your hand was also taken away."

When Yun Lian heard this, he exchanged glances with Shen Yufeng, "And then?"

Liu Hanyan continued: "The news that you are dead, of course I don't believe it, after all you have been living in my house since you broke out of the palace. The account book recorded the evidence of the Sixth Prince's crime. Anyway, it was spread so clearly that many people believed it to be true. After that, the news spread more and more, and even the Sixth Prince seemed to have heard some rumors, and sent people to search you The soldiers and horses who were on the trail were all taken back, and they did not make any rash moves."

"Who do you think it is?" Yun Lian asked Shen Yufeng after listening to her story.

Without even thinking about it, Shen Yufeng said, "It's the little emperor."

"Yes, I think so too," Yun Lian nodded and said, "It seems that he didn't find us and the account book that night, so he simply preemptively fabricated some true and false news, so that the sixth prince can mess up his position first."

Shen Yufeng said "hmm", "It's for this reason that the emperor has very precise control over the thoughts of the sixth prince, knowing that the account book is the biggest threat to him right now. And he passed on the news that we are dead and the account book is lost. Going out, so that no matter whether the sixth prince believes it or not, he will not dare to act rashly again in the near future, so as not to be ashamed."

Yun Lian heard him speak in a precise manner, with a look of surprise and joking in his eyes, and said: "I didn't expect Shen Daxia to start to know how to analyze people's hearts, not bad."

Shen Yufeng rolled his eyes at him.

Liu Hanyan listened quietly to their analysis of the situation, and didn't interrupt, but suddenly said after they finished speaking: "By the way, I forgot to tell you. The rumor that the two of you died was not long after the rumor spread. Someone came to the palace to make trouble."

Both Shen Yufeng looked at her at the same time.

Liu Hanyan continued: "I asked my servants to inquire about it the day before yesterday, and the news I found out was—that group of people came for Master Shen."

As soon as Shen Yufeng heard this, he regained his energy and asked her, "Who is it?"

Liu Hanyan shook her head lightly a few times: "I don't know about that, I only heard the news from the servants who reported that they are a group of nuns with strong martial arts skills, and they should be relatives or old acquaintances of Master Shen. "

Shen Yufeng looked terrified, nodded and said, "I'll take a look."

In the afternoon of that day, after Shen Yufeng waited for Yun Lian to rest, he changed into a set of coarse clothes by himself, left Liu's other courtyard, and ran towards the palace.

At that time, the sun was shining and people were coming and going in Chang'an City. You didn't need to get close to the palace, you could see seven or eight nuns sitting cross-legged in front of the gate of the palace from a distance, surrounding the gate of the palace.

These seven or eight were all young-looking female nuns, all of whom Shen Yufeng had met before and knew their names, but the nun in the head was a little older, she was wearing a purple robe, she was full of majesty, with slender eyebrows, There is a hint of wind and frost on his face.

Sure enough, it was his mother Bai Muhua.

I saw her wearing a tattered purple robe, sitting swaggeringly on the open space in front of the palace, under the scorching sun, her head was covered with sweat, but her eyes did not blink, glaring at the gate of the palace.Pedestrians passing by were amazed at this.

The guards in front of the gate of the palace were lazily leaning against the door to talk, and occasionally raised their heads to give them a sideways glance, their movements were laziness and slow, as if they were used to them coming to harass them every day or so, and they were not surprised.

Shen Yufeng understands how strong and stubborn his mother is. It is obvious that after she got the news of her son's accident in Duanzhou, she immediately returned to the rivers and lakes, and brought a few little nuns under her command to Chang'an from Wudingguan, looking for the whereabouts of his son.However, she was unfamiliar with the place, and didn't know who to ask to settle accounts, so she simply came to the gate of the palace and threatened the sixth prince to give her an explanation.

Judging from her embarrassed appearance and the angry eyes she stared at the guards of the palace, she probably didn't just sit in front of the gate of the palace for a day or two, but had many conflicts with the guards of the palace before.

He must be a little anxious.When I think that he is already in his 20s, and his mother has to work hard for him all day long, I feel really sorry.

But if he rushed out like this, the sixth prince would definitely find out his whereabouts, and maybe all the officers and soldiers of the palace would be dispatched to surround their mother and child, and that would be a bad thing.

He hid in the dark, lowered his head and meditated on how to calmly attract his mother. When he heard the yelling from the side of the road passing through the streets and alleys, he was quick to wit, and grabbed a boy who was eating a bunch of candied haws by the side of the road. Putting a few copper coins into his hand, he whispered, "Go and lure them here."

The boy tilted his head, glanced at him with his pitch-black eyes, walked up to the gate of the palace with the copper coin in his hands, and whispered a few words in Bai Muhua's ear.

After hearing this, Bai Muhua's upside-down eyebrows froze for a moment, as if he was looking over at Shen Yufeng's hiding place.After the boy left, she suddenly cried out, "My son, you died so unjustly—"

She cried and thumped the ground, "Son, how could you just die like this, how could you have the heart to send a black-haired man to your mother--"

Before the nuns behind her could react, they saw her crying, her eyes turned white suddenly, and she passed out.

"Guardian!"

The nuns behind her yelled and hugged her.

"what happened?"

"Don't ask, hurry up, send the temple master to rest!"

The group of young female nuns lost their mind when they saw that the spectator had an accident. They helped the man to tidy up in a hurry, and then withdrew from the gate of the palace. The spectators also dispersed after a while.

Shen Yufeng saw it and smiled secretly. As expected, after a while, Bai Muhua came from the other side of the alley with the nuns.

"I've seen my mother." He immediately went up to her.

Bai Muhua pulled his sleeve, his face was full of concern, he kept asking: "My son, are you okay?"

Shen Yufeng shook his head slowly: "I'm fine, mother, why are you here?"

"Hmph," Bai Muhua knew that his son was unharmed, he finally let go of his hanging heart, and couldn't help being filled with righteous indignation, "My son was bullied in the imperial city, how can I, a mother, not come?"

Then he asked him what he had experienced in Chang'an in the past few months. Shen Yufeng didn't want her to be involved in this turmoil. He didn't talk about Zhao Linhuai and the account book. .Bai Muhua nodded while listening, and Shen Yufeng asked again: "Where are you staying now?"

Bai Muhua said angrily: "There is no place to stay. As soon as I heard about your accident, I rushed over from Duanzhou with a few of them. I didn't even have time to arrange a place to live!"

Shen Yufeng glanced at the group of young female nuns behind her, secretly had an idea in his heart, took her hand and said, "Then mother, come with me."

Bai Muhua was naturally happy to be arranged by him, she had always been extremely reassured about this son's conduct in the world, otherwise she would not have allowed Shen Yufeng to stay in Ruyi Villa for many years without going back to see it once.If it weren't for hearing that her son had an accident this time, she wouldn't have come to Chang'an specially.Now knowing that his son is safe and sound, he is no longer as helpless as before.

Holding her son's hand, she slowly returned to Liu's other courtyard, followed by the nuns, and the mother and son narrated how they missed each other after parting.When he was about to reach the alley of the Bieyuan, Bai Muhua suddenly seemed to think of something, and suddenly asked: "Is that brat also there?"

Shen Yufeng immediately understood that his mother was talking about Yun Lian.

He nodded and said, "Mother, I'll tell you something when I go back."

Bai Muhua wanted to ask a few more questions, so he walked forward with his support.

Shen Yufeng was walking on the road, his mind was constantly running, his relationship with Yun Lian was a foregone conclusion, and it was impossible to separate him no matter what, which meant that his mother would have to know about this matter sooner or later.But how to find the time to tell his mother, and how her mother will react when she finds out, is also within his consideration.How to say and how to do it, I still need to go back and discuss with Yun Lian.

At the moment when he was thinking about it, he had already returned to the other courtyard of the Liu family.

When he opened the door, he saw Yun Lian sitting in the front hall, basking in the sun with his back to them.

Hearing the sound of the door opening behind him, he patted his sleeves, stood up and said with a smile, "Why are you only here now—"

Halfway through his speech, he stopped abruptly when he caught a glimpse of the figure behind Shen Yufeng.

"Senior White?" He withdrew his original familiar and smiling tone, and slowly revealed a half-smile expression, "Long time no see."
