A sweet fragrance assailed his nostrils. Under the warm afternoon sun and the slightly chilly wind, a large area of pink plum blossoms in the courtyard was in full bloom. On the branches, the pink flowers were competing in the cold, adding some vitality to this harsh winter. The small flowers that looked like golden bells were embellished with brilliance among the branches. The plum blossom appreciators did not attract them, but they attracted a few cuckoos.
Cai 'er sat in the pavilion, the gentle sunlight just falling on her body. Her skin was smooth and smooth, and the natural blush on her cheeks far surpassed the countless shy plum blossoms. Her eyebrows were as far as the eye sockets, and her eyes were as bright as autumn water. Her small and straight nose, and her bright red diamond-shaped lips were pulled into a faint smile. She was very satisfied, very satisfied with the masterpiece in her hands, sewing every single needle and thread.
Ah Xiao, dressed in white, walked over, his steps light and graceful. Seeing Cai 'er unexpectedly pick up her needlework and embroider, his heart was filled with joy.
"Is Miss making clothes for someone?”Ah Xiao asked with a faint smile. At the same time, he looked at the cloth in Cai 'er's hands. It was a black brocade robe, and with a single glance, he knew that it was a man's clothing. He instantly understood,"If Old Master knew that Young Miss was so filial, and even specially made clothes for him, he would definitely be overjoyed. But, Young Miss, this brocade robe doesn't seem to be suitable for Old Master's age, right?"”
Cai 'er's lips curled into a smile as she said,"Ever since my mother started to recite Buddha every day, Big Sister Ah Xiao has been following behind me every day to take care of me…" Hearing Cai' er's words, Ah Xiao was secretly delighted, his almond-shaped eyes expressing his thoughts,"It's good that you know, miss."
" Therefore, I also know what Sister Ah Xiao is thinking," Cai 'er continued, the needlework in her hands not stopping. She was embroidering at the foot of her embroidered robe, as if she was embroidering words.
"I don't have any thoughts." Ah Xiao stammered as if his heart had been seen through.
This time, Cai 'er stopped and raised her beautiful eyes to look at the sun outside, as if she was trying to estimate the time. After that, she looked at Ah Xiao and said," Father and Yu Feng have left the manor. At this time, I think Third Uncle should be coming soon!”
Because of Cai 'er's words, even the calm Ah Xiao was confused, and his cheeks flushed red,"Little…what did Miss say?"”
Ah Xiao chuckled and said jokingly," Sister Ah Xiao, hurry up and dress up!”
"Miss, I can't be bothered to tell you! I'll go and see Madam." Ah Xiao was shy and hurriedly ran away with his tail between his legs.
Just as Ah Xiao left, a devilishly handsome man in his thirties appeared. He was dressed in a seductive red robe, and his hair was fluttering behind his head. He used a red ribbon to tie up the strands of hair by his ears. His eyes were moving, and his red lips were slightly charming. This person was Yi Shui. Although he was already in his thirties, his character was still as frivolous as a child.
Yi Shui immediately put his arm on Cai 'er's shoulder and asked,"Cai' er, did you miss me?"”
Cai 'er only smiled at such a direct reply, But there should be someone who wants it more than me."
Yi Shui didn't notice that Ah Xiao was embroidering. He looked around absentmindedly and asked," Where's Ah Xiao?”
"He ran away before you came!”Cai 'er joked.
"What?! She ran away. She clearly knew that I would come, yet she still ran away. Cai 'er, next time, tie her up for me, and don't show any mercy.”Yi Shui said as he chased after Ah Xiao. His speed was really fast, and he didn't even greet him, directly replying,"Cai 'er, Third Uncle will come and see you later!"”After saying that, he disappeared into the corridor, causing Cai 'er to sigh and laugh, and couldn't help but shake her head at the helplessness of Ah Xiao and the others.
Touching the thin needle in her hand, Cai 'er looked at the embroidered words on the black brocade robe. The white stripes left three words on the black brocade robe,"Cai' er's".
The top of the mountain was covered with a faint glow, as if it had penetrated the loneliness in people's hearts. It was a wasteland with withered wormwood. The afterglow of the setting sun was always so brilliant, but it was also the only scenery left in the desolate place. The dark yellow light reflected the deep red of the mountain on the other side of the wasteland, and the outline of the mountain appeared clearly.
A faint silver light shone diagonally on the cold stone tablet. Time swept past the barren thoughts and piled up the dust and stones into a tomb. It had been a long time, and the surroundings of the tomb had not been tidied up. Wild grass grew all over the tomb, as if it had been forgotten by the world. Here, there had always been a person sleeping in the long soil.
The cold wind blew over, stirring up the withered grass. Under his feet were rows of broken grass stalks, opening up a new path towards the tombstone.
Yu Feng quietly followed behind Mu Zheng. At this moment, he was wearing a clean and bright brocade robe. It was loose inside and tight outside. His eyes were deep and blue like the sea in the middle of the night. They were cold and cold. His thin lips were as light as water. His cold breath made people not dare to approach him. He was always on guard.
Looking at Mu Zheng, who was dressed in brown, Yu Feng was puzzled. Why did his master bring him to this desolate place and not say anything?
When Mu Zheng stopped, Yu Feng, who was following behind him, also stopped consciously. Was his eyes confused? He actually saw his master's back looking very lonely, as if he was sighing.
Yu Feng looked over and saw a tombstone standing in front of him. His expression was a little strange. He instantly wondered why his master had brought him here. What did a tomb represent? Or was it to pay homage to the dead?
Suddenly, Yu Feng discovered something. His eyes stared at the tombstone in astonishment. The words carved on the tombstone were also in disbelief.
Just as Mu Zheng turned around, Yu Feng had already sorted out his chaotic emotions. He regained his cold aura and lowered his head slightly. No one knew what he was thinking.
"Feng 'er, Master has killed many people in his life. Master has always felt that those people should be killed, but the owner of the tombstone in front of me has made me regret it for the rest of my life!”Mu Zheng walked up to the tombstone and looked at the dirt. He blamed himself.
Yu Feng raised his head and looked at Mu Zheng's back again. He was no longer shocked and confused, but had an impulse to be full and resentful, even though he was trying hard to suppress himself.
"Master killed the owner of the gravestone?" Yu Feng said indifferently. It was not a question, but a confirmation, but his expression was expressionless.
"Yes, I killed that person eleven years ago!”Mu Zheng sighed slightly and looked up at the sky with his aged eyes as if he was trying to penetrate something." I thought that as long as I killed that person, I could stop the war between the two countries. I didn't expect that it would become a war between the other two countries. There are still many people who died."”
"Master is talking about Yuan Country and Bei Liao, right?”Yu Feng said," In the past, it was an alliance between Bei Liao and Yuan Country. However, it evolved into a war between the two countries. For many years, the two countries have been at war, and the people of the two countries have always suffered. All of this happened because General Long of Bei Liao died on the land of Yuan Country. Compared to Bei Liao, it was a humiliation.”
Hearing Yu Feng's words, Mu Zheng did not express any surprise. He turned back to look at Yu Feng and said," These are all things that everyone knows!”
"It turns out that the Northern Liao's General Long Yu is buried here!”Yu Feng looked at the words carved on the tombstone. Even though the tombstone had been washed by wind, rain, snow, and frost for many years, the words were still clear. The words engraved on it were 'General Long Yu's tomb.'
"It was me. I killed General Long." Mu Zheng sighed.
Yu Feng didn't have much of a reaction and only asked," Master killed General Long and framed Yuan Country. So the war between Yuan Country and Bei Liao was caused by Master?”
"I just don't want to see the people of the Southern Kingdom suffer in the midst of war.”
"But Master pushed the people of Yuan Country and Bei Liao into chaos. They are also humans."
"We don't have a choice, because we're from the Southern Kingdom. Everything we do is for the people of the Southern Kingdom. No one wants to see their country suffer.”Mu Zheng said. He remembered what Zhao Xiang said in the Laifu Inn eleven years ago. The difference was that they were all from the South.
Yu Feng's eyelashes trembled as he looked at the somewhat hazy sky. The sun had set, and there was a dim yellow light on the other side of the sky. That was the light left behind by the sun. Although it was incomparably brilliant, it was still swallowed by the night.
"Why is Master telling me all this?”Yu Feng asked.
"This is the blood history of the Underworld Blood Society that is hard to forget. Even after eleven years, that memory is still etched in my heart. I just want you to remember that when you take over the Underworld Blood Society, this kind of thing is not allowed to happen again. The Underworld Blood Society is no longer a murderous organization.”
"So this is where Master wants to bring me.”Yu Feng said indifferently.
Mu Zheng stared at him, not letting go of any expression on Yu Feng's face, but he could not catch a trace of complicated expression. On the contrary, it was Mu Zheng himself who was the first to feel complicated.
However, no one knew that one was pretending, and the other was trying hard to find out. No matter how hard they tried, they could not find out who had been pretending for eleven years. That was the heart that had been accumulated and suppressed for eleven years. It was a premeditated plan that had not yet begun.
"Will Feng 'er think that I did something wrong?”Mu Zheng asked, only to find Yu Feng staring at the tombstone. Yu Feng pretended to glance at him and said," Whether a person has done something wrong or not is the opinion of the bystanders. For Bei Liao and Yuan Country, Master is the main spark of war between the two countries. He is their eternal sinner."”
"Which side is Feng 'er on? The Northern Liao and Yuan Country, or the Southern Country?”……
