Liang Min frowned slightly and began to analyze the current situation, trying to find more favorable reasons to let Chen Xin put down the burden on his shoulders and go back to reunite with Liang Shuyi and his family: "We don't need to worry about the affairs in the palace now. Liuxiang Wine Shop has also made arrangements in various places in the capital. Every move of Tianshu Tower is under our noses. And the residences of those old masters are all taken care of by our people outside. It seems that we really don't know what else we can do."
However, Liang Min originally wanted to persuade Shen Xin, but as he spoke, it seemed like he was complaining about having nothing to do: "If you are really bored, go and help the housekeeper. After my father and mother left, he has been overwhelmed with things."
"I want to go too, but Grandpa doesn't want me to help, saying I'll just cause trouble. What can I do?" Liang Min didn't just call the housekeeper "Grandpa" out of affection; he was actually the housekeeper's grandson. The old housekeeper had dedicated his entire life to the Duke's Mansion, and his son had died for it. Now he only had this grandson left, and the Duke and Duchess of Liang treated him like one of their own family. Since childhood, Liang Min had privately called Liang Shuyi "sister."
Chen Xin couldn't help but laugh out loud. Liang Min was still young, but he still had a lot of things he wanted to do. However, without enough experience, no matter how smart he was, he couldn't succeed. "Hahaha, you, sometimes you really are quite worrying. You're still just a big kid."
Liang Min put down the teacup in his hand and said angrily, "Sir, why do you say that? It seems that the young lady is the only one in the whole mansion who understands me the best."
Chen Xin said that the question should be dropped right here. He would soon start to reminisce about his childhood with Shuyi. Although he knew that Liang Shuyi always treated him as a younger brother, he still felt a little jealous: "Come on. By the way, have you met the young lady?"
Liang Min slammed the table. Everything else was fine, but it was Shen Qishuang's matter that was a little hard for him to accept. He missed Liang Shuyi's wedding, and when she got pregnant, he couldn't help. Even after the child was born, he didn't have a chance to take a good look at it. "Speaking of this makes me angry. You finally brought the young lady back, but I had to go back to the ancestral home to do something. When I hurriedly got everything done, she left again!"
Shen Xin added: “And when she comes back again, she won’t bring the young lady with her, right?”
Liang Min said with a sad face: "Stop talking. It's just tears. I even feel that even God has sensed the helplessness in my heart."
As Liang Min finished speaking, a rumbling sound like thunder exploded in their ears. The two were startled by the thunder. Liang Min couldn't help but swallow his saliva. He had just been talking nonsense. I hope the heavens didn't really show up. "Is it thunder?"
After the initial roar of thunder, a series of loud "boom, boom, boom" sounds exploded in their ears. If it was the sound of thunder, then it couldn't possibly have such force unless it landed in Gyeonggi City. "Oh my god, could it be a chain of thunder? Could someone have made a foolish oath and broken it, and been struck by thunder?"
Shen Xin stood up alertly and carefully distinguished the sound beside his ears. When the "thunder" stopped, Shen Xin's expression suddenly changed: "This is not the sound of thunder, it is the sound of an explosion. This strong smell of saltpeter is not something that ordinary thunder can bring."
After saying that, Chen Xin walked out of the house, calling out as he walked, "Where is Wei Xian?"
"I'm here," as soon as the words fell, a man in a blue shirt wearing a Qilin mask appeared in front of the two men.
Looking at the chaotic scene on the streets outside the mansion, Chen Xin couldn't help but recall the predicament when the living dead besieged the city. Today's situation would probably be even more difficult to resolve than that day. Liang Min had just been complaining about feeling like she had nothing to do recently, but now, from now on, she was probably going to be extremely busy. "Go out and see what's going on. Be careful."
"yes."
Just as Wei Xian was about to leave, the old housekeeper came running back from the street, panting: "No, you don't have to go."
The old butler was already old, and this hurried run left him breathless, which scared Liang Min: "Grandpa, run slower! You're not a young man in your seventies anymore. Can you please take care of yourself?"
The old housekeeper panted as he said, "What do you mean he's already in his seventies? I'm only seventy-one, and that old man on East Street is eighty, and he still wanders around the streets every day!"
Liang Min smiled bitterly and said helplessly: "My grandpa, what's the point of comparing this?"
The old housekeeper had his hands on his hips and was about to debate with Liang Min, but after seeing Chen Xin, he remembered that he was not here to argue: "You naughty child, I was so busy talking to you that I almost forgot about the important things; something happened, son-in-law, something big happened!"
Liang Min sighed to the sky, then held his forehead and said, "Grandpa, what happened?"
The old butler took the tea from Wei Xian, who had poured it at some point, drank it, and composed himself before saying, "I heard from people in the city that they saw a group of people sneaking around the mountain. After they disappeared, several places in the city were bombed. They also said that judging by the style of their clothes, they looked like people from the Northern Desert."
Liang Min thought it was a big deal, but it turned out to be people from Beimo. The commotion in the city had nothing to do with them. "Hey, who are you talking about? Beimo and Daliang have an alliance. Have they arrived yet?"
"...", Chen Xin's expression changed slightly, waiting for the old housekeeper to say the most unlikely scenario: "Indeed, they are here. They are the ones making all the noise outside. I don't know where they got the artillery from, but now they are really bombarding the city!"
Liang Min was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Grandpa, don't tell me you're just hearing it from someone else. How could Beimo attack Jingji at this time? Isn't our alliance still in place?"
Chen Xin said, "Liang Min, the most unreliable thing in the world besides lies is this so-called covenant. It's just a piece of paper and a few words, and it can be overturned and revised in an instant. But I didn't expect it. Hu Du doesn't look like a person who likes to break his promise. Besides, he has Shangguan Bing'er by his side. It's better to wait and see what the situation is. I hope it's not someone else's disguise."
