Chapter 104: Meeting an Old Friend in the Mountains
The sun overhead was gradually tilting.
Xie Yan gave Chen Bo a few instructions and then rode back home.
He even had to go back into the mountains to look for birch wood to make bows for the Ming Dynasty!
Who has the leisure time to watch Sun Zhiye perform a noble and upright character?
"Another deed?"
Lu Mingchao looked at the document handed over by Xie Yan and blinked blankly.
She now owns two more shops!
I swear to God, at first she was after Xie Yan’s beauty, not his wealth.
Now, although you haven’t eaten the food, you have the wealth in your hands.
Forget it, seeing it is the same as eating it!
She really found a treasure in the form of a handsome, caring and considerate husband.
Xie Yan nodded and said, "I have already contacted the craftsmen and will go to open and repair it tomorrow morning."
Afterwards, Xie Yan told Lu Mingchao what he had seen and heard outside the county government.
Lu Mingchao put the deed into the wooden box, his eyes cold, "It doesn't matter, let him jump around for a few more days."
"Tomorrow morning, while it's still early, I want to go into the mountains."
"Can you take me with you?"
"Okay." Xie Yan didn't hesitate much.
Lu Mingchao suddenly said, "Ayan, my heart is growing more and more attracted to you."
It's not that she is hypocritical, it's that Xie Yan's kindness is worthy of her sincere love.
Xie Yan almost tripped over the threshold and his face felt hot as if it was being burned by fire.
Heart-beating?
The Ming Dynasty used the word "heart-moving".
"So do I."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yan fled from the room in a hurry.
Lu Mingchao put on his cloak with a smile and followed Xie Yan out.
In the north, the mountains in winter often appear rugged and desolate, having lost the luxuriance and vitality of summer. There are few pedestrians and the place is unusually quiet.
Xie Yan smiled as he held Lu Mingchao's hand and walked forward step by step.
At that moment, Xie Yan stopped and looked around vigilantly.
"Ming Dynasty, there is a smell of blood." Xie Yan leaned over and lowered his voice.
Looking carefully, I saw a person lying under a huge tree not far away, his life or death unknown.
Lu Mingchao grabbed Xie Yan and said, "I have many years of experience in storytelling. I know that I can't just pick up a wild man on the street."
The consequences may be minor, including loss of life, and serious, destruction of the entire family.
Xie Yan pursed his lips, his expression complicated, and said slowly, "I know him."
Lu Mingchao: ...
Lu Mingchao stood on tiptoe and leaned forward. "I think I know him too."
To be exact, none of the prominent figures in the capital who had attended palace banquets were unfamiliar with that face.
She has the original owner's memory, so naturally she knows it.
Shu Yuan, the eunuch in charge of writing during the reign of the late emperor, was young but deeply trusted by the late emperor.
It is said that after the previous emperor died suddenly, Shu Yuan died a martyr for his master.
Wasn't this martyrdom too hasty, being buried in the deep mountains behind Changxi Village?
"To save or not to save?"
Xie Yan was stunned for a moment, his eyes flickering, and he turned to look at Lu Mingchao.
The two saw the tacit answer in each other's eyes.
Xie Yan woke up Shu Yuan who was in a coma.
"You're still alive!"
"How come you are still alive!"
Xie Yan and Shu Yuan spoke at the same time.
On the surface, these people had been dead for several years, but they achieved a historic reunion in this desolate mountain and ridge.
There was a look of disbelief on Shu Yuan's face.
Lu Mingchao: "Are all your ways of greeting so unique?"
Shu Yuan's eyes fell on Lu Mingchao's face, with a mixture of caution and suspicion. "You?"
Shu Yuan frowned and thought, "You look a bit like Miss Lu from the Yongning Marquis's Mansion who shamelessly chased after the Prince of the Zhenguo Mansion and insisted on marrying him."
Lu Mingchao was stunned.
Xie Yan's face turned black.
Lu Mingchao curled his lips, having reason to suspect that Shu Yuanzuo's position as the Chief Eunuch was a result of some secret manipulation.
With this EQ, she wouldn't believe me if you said I wasn't petty.
"You are not the illegitimate daughter of Marquis Yongning who is living abroad, are you?"
In just a moment, Lu Mingchao was given a new identity.
"Eunuch Shu, is there a possibility that I am Lu Mingchao?"
Shu Yuan: "Then how did you and Xie Yan get together?"
"Gu Huai started the chaos and finally gave up?"
"Does the Yongning Marquis' Mansion have a keen eye for pearls?"
Xie Yan's eyes were deep, and his aura became cold. When he looked at Shu Yuan, a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"The late emperor is gone. If you continue to speak without restraint, no one will protect you."
Shu Yuan's eyes dimmed, and he seemed a little more vulnerable.
Lu Mingchao held his chin and said, to be honest, Shu Yuan had red lips, white teeth, and soft and smooth facial lines. It would not be an exaggeration to describe her as a rosy face.
"Xie Yan and I are a formally married couple."
Lu Mingchao explained in a gentle voice and also told Shu Yuan the bloody story of the real and fake daughter.
Xie Yan's attitude was obviously cold, distant and awkward. "You live such a miserable life, you might as well be buried with the late emperor."
"I haven't avenged the late emperor yet, why should I die!" Shu Yuan'e said fiercely, "You, the great Xie family, are living in a remote and poor place, how dare you abandon me?"
Lu Mingchao frowned unhappily, picked up the small wooden stick at hand, and poked the wound on Shu Yuan's arm. "Speak properly."
"If you bite anyone again, I will throw you into the mountains to die."
Thank you family.
It turned out to be the Xie family member that she never dared to think about.
At this moment, Lu Mingchao finally cleared away the fog and saw clearly the deep hatred in Xie Yan's body.
In fact, she had always had a vague guess, but she felt too frightened and suppressed it.
Did her second brother really think carefully before persuading her to marry Xie Yan after knowing Xie Yan's identity?
Why do I feel like I'm on a pirate ship and can't get off?
Shu Yuan was furious and said, "Xie Yan bit me first!"
"Why are you still on the side?"
Lu Mingchao Fu'e, how come the eunuch beside the late emperor has such a clear stupidity "Do you understand what is a formal marriage, what is a husband and wife of one mind?"
"Tell me the truth, did you have an affair with the late emperor?"
In the cruel palace, destroying a person's innocence is easier than crushing an ant.
If one wants to maintain such a fresh vigor, he naturally has to have an open umbrella above his head to protect him from wind and rain, so that no one dares to bully, humiliate or plot against him.
Shu Yuan's eyes widened. "I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense."
Lu Mingchao stood up.
As soon as the three-piece set of Yugaimi Zhang came out, it was a real hammer.
Shu Yuan: "Ms. Lu, you never used to speak so sharply and vulgarly."
"A Yan, why don't we just let him die here?" Lu Mingchao threw down the small wooden stick in his hand and turned to look at Xie Yan. "It's a disaster to live with such a big mouth."
Xie Yan nodded and said, "Very good."
Xie Yan was about to take Lu Mingchao away alone.
"Xie Yan!" Shu Yuan shouted at the top of his voice.
Seeing that Xie Yan was unmoved, Shu Yuan's face turned red, "Xie Yan, you are the only one in this world who remembers the late emperor and the bloody case and can avenge the late emperor and the Xie family."
Before finding out that Xie Yan was alive, Shu Yuan thought he was the only one walking alone.
He has mediocre qualifications and knows that he will never be able to reveal the truth to the world even if he wastes his entire life.
But he just wouldn't give up.
Now, there is Xie Yan.
Xie Yan, the late emperor never hesitated to praise this cousin who was born and raised in Northern Xinjiang.
Do you know how I spent the past four years?
