Perhaps he could take Shuiche and the twins and leave this place, migrating to the Fiery Lands overseas. But what about her parents and brothers?
"I understand.
The children and I will wait for your safe return.
Of course, it would be best if you could make it back before the New Year. "Su Shuiche comforted him with a faint smile.
In exchange, Lin Siyao gave her a deep and extremely lingering kiss.
"I've written a letter and sent it to your eldest brother in the Imperial Capital.
As for you and the children, Situ Yun is the most accomplished and will be guarding the house day and night.
In addition, his fellow apprentices will also take turns guarding you.
I'll be back as soon as possible.
Shuiche, I'm sorry. I said that I'll stay by your side and won't go anywhere. But now … "
"Don't say anymore, Ah Yao. This isn't something you can decide.
Since this is a major event that concerns the country and the people, even if there is only a 1% chance, it's better to be prepared first. "Su Shuiyong reached out and gently covered Lin Siyao, who was blaming himself, as she tried to persuade him.
"You and Si Chong should also be careful on the way.
No matter what happens, just remember that the children and I will be waiting for you here. "
"Don't worry. The main purpose of this trip is to bring back Sirou. As for the other things, I promise you that I won't act rashly." Lin Siyao nodded in agreement.
How could he not know her expectations?
Ever since they met in Dashi Mountain, they had never been separated in the past two years.
"Mm, it's good that you know.
I've sewed this into the inner layer of the cloth bag. "
Su Shuiche pointed to the already empty wisteria gourd on the table. There was only one and a half spoonfuls of Jade Heart Immortal Essence left inside. She poured it into a small porcelain bottle and sewed it into the inner layer of the cloth bag.
This was a life-saving measure in case of an emergency.
"Shuiche …" Lin Siyao hugged her tightly and called out in a low and hoarse voice. After a long time, he let go of her. He glanced at the twins sleeping peacefully in the cradle, picked up the package on the table, and quickly left the bedroom. He met up with Si Chong, who was waiting for him in the front yard. The two of them took advantage of the dusk to jump out of Flower Town and gallop all the way to Corridor West.
Su Shuiche leaned against the doorpost of the central room, quietly watching them leave until their vigorous figures disappeared before her eyes.
"Master and Martial Uncle will be fine." Situ Yun, who had appeared behind her at some point, said softly.
"Hmm, nothing will happen." Su Shuiche nodded. She withdrew her gaze from the distant mountain and turned back to the inner room.
Even though Ah Yao was not around, she still had to keep a regular schedule.
She would not learn from the women in the legends who yearned to become a stone statue just because he left because he had something to do.
She still had Xiao 'er and Long' er to take care of, and there were many affairs in the residence that she had to manage.
In short, she hoped that when Ah Yao returned, she would give him a peaceful and stable home.
…
Si Chong's twenty-four disciples, including Situ Yun, who had been guarding the twins, and twenty-five youths, whose average age was only fourteen years old, were actually having so much fun with Lin Xiao and Lin Long, who were less than two months old.
Although they said they were having fun, they were actually taking turns to tease the twins when they were awake.
Those who didn't have a turn were naturally overseeing the "Guang Ci Tower".
After many years of tacit understanding, they had long formed a good habit that was the same whether their master was present or not.
"Tomorrow is New Year's Eve." Su Shuiche leaned against the window and looked at the crescent moon in the cold sky as she whispered.
"Yes, this servant has already arranged it.
Young Miss, please rest assured. "Mama Liang saw that Su Shuiche had not yet rested, so she brought in a pot of hot tea.
Son-in-law was not around, so the preparations for the annual sacrifice would not be casual.
After staying in the Palace for so many years, if she couldn't handle these matters well, then she would be underestimating Mama Liang.
"I don't know if Ah Yao and the others will be able to make it back in time." This was only the second New Year's Eve after they met, so she didn't want to be separated.
"Son-in-law's martial arts are strong, so he will definitely return safely.
Young Miss, you don't have to worry too much. "
Mama Liang wasn't sure if Son-in-law would be able to make it back before New Year's Eve. After all, this place was at least seven to eight hundred li away from Langxi.
Normally, it would take three to four days for a carriage to make a round trip, let alone an important matter.
However, Mama Liang had seen Son-in-law's profound martial arts, so she thought that Son-in-law might really be able to do it.
…
"I didn't see your Bing Hun. Why?
He's not home? "
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Jiang Yingyun drove an exquisite carriage made by "Yueyun Embroidery House" and rushed over with a carriage full of gifts. She didn't see Lin Siyao, who usually appeared in front of or behind Su Shuiche, so she asked curiously.
"En, he went out to do something." Su Shuiche was feeding Lin Long and lowered her head when she heard this.
"It's New Year's Eve, what other important matters could there be?
Ha … don't tell me he went to the capital to give his in-laws New Year's gifts? "Jiang Yingyun couldn't help but tease her.
Su Shuiche paused when she heard this.
That's right, logically speaking, she should be giving her maternal family New Year's gifts.
However, in her subconscious mind, Duke Jing and Princess Jing were just important guests to her, so she didn't treat them as her biological parents.
As for Ah Yao, needless to say, he was used to being alone and killing people for a living, so he didn't know as much about etiquette as she did.
"Young Miss, on the way back, Furen had already instructed this servant that the capital is far away from here, so Young Miss and Son-in-law don't need to worry about these things. You just need to take good care of Young Miss and Young Master." Mama Liang could tell that Su Shuiche was in a difficult position, so she interjected at the right time.
"That's true. Moreover, the capital is very chaotic right now, so it's better not to go."
Jiang Yingyun saw that the desserts that Mama Liang had just brought to the table were fragrant and exquisite. She instantly had an appetite and picked up a piece of corn cake and threw it into her mouth, speaking as she chewed.
"The capital … is very chaotic?
How did you know? "Su Shuiche heard this and thought of what Ah Yao said before he left.
She hurriedly asked.
"Embroidery House sends carriages to the capital every ten days, so how could I not know about this!"
Jiang Yingyun could hear the anxiety in her voice and thought that she was worried about Duke Jing and Princess Jing who were in the capital. She waved her hand and comforted, "Don't worry, I only heard that they were exiles from the north and they must have been caught by the authorities.
Your parents are in the Palace, so they won't encounter this kind of thing no matter what. "
"I hope so." Su Shuiche nodded, feeling a little embarrassed.
She had been so focused on Ah Yao that she had almost forgotten about her current self. She also had to worry about her parents and brothers.
… …
"Is there any news?" Liang Xuanjing stepped into the large study and asked his son who was sitting at the desk with his head lowered and brows furrowed.
"Father."
Liang Enzai saw that it was Liang Xuanjing and relaxed. He tiredly pinched the bridge of his nose and shook his head, "Not yet.
According to the information from the north, Blood Hades sent twelve blood horsemen to Dahui.
However, there is no trace of them. "
"Really?!" Liang Xuanjing was shocked.
Twelve blood horsemen were the most powerful weapons in Blood Hades.
It was rumored that there was no mission that the twelve blood horsemen could not complete.
"Yes.
That is what the information said.
Also, Father, Blood Sect has already made a move. "
The piece of paper in front of Liang Enzai was the news that Lin Siyao asked the "Guang Ci Tower" to send over a few days ago.
Two Weirdos of the Western Corridor, Blood Sect.
If Lin Siyao's guess was correct, then Blood Sect was a chess piece that Blood Hades had planted in Dahui.
"Yes …" Liang Xuanjing frowned slightly and walked out of the study, "I will go to the palace now. Dahui has been recuperating for almost a hundred years. It was not easy for the country to be at peace. There must not be another war."
"Father, if the Emperor doesn't believe …"
"I'd rather believe it.
If he doesn't believe it … I will beat him until he believes it. "Liang Xuanjing walked out of the study without looking back and strode toward the gate of the mansion.
He shouted as he walked, "Prepare a carriage for This King."
Liang Enzai looked at Liang Xuanjing who was walking away quickly and shook his head with a smile. He then returned to his desk and wrote a letter. He folded it neatly and put it in an envelope. He then sealed it with a red seal and called the secret guard who was quietly guarding the room, "Quickly send it to the 'Guang Ci Tower'."
After the secret guard received the order and left, Liang Enzai walked out of the study and ordered someone to prepare a carriage. He then quickly went to the Xiang Palace.
…
In the octagonal pavilion of the Xiang Palace, Liang Enzai was discussing with his best friend of more than ten years.
"What is your plan?" Prince Xiang leaned on the pillar of the pavilion. He seemed to be admiring the wintersweet at the corner of the pavilion, but his eyes were filled with deep worry.
"Dahui is a fat piece of meat in the eyes of Blood Hades." Liang Enzai raised his cup and looked down at the sake in the cup as he calmly analyzed.
"So?"
"They don't know that fat pieces of meat can also become hard bones."
Liang Enzai swirled the teacup. Her beautiful face looked even more beautiful in the cold winter air.
"Twelve Blood Horsemen …" Prince Xiang murmured and turned to look at Liang Enzai, "If the information is true, then let's give it a try." They have been preparing for so many years, aren't they just waiting for the fish to take the bait?
"Xia 'er, do you still remember the Fengyao Pavilion?" Liang Enzai suddenly changed the topic.
"Of course.
It's a famous assassin organization in Jianghu. A few years ago, we even met their people in the Fengshui City case. "
Lou Yuanyou nodded. However, in the past two years, it seemed to have calmed down. Could it be that the Fengyao Pavilion closed down?
"After the Pavilion Master of the Fengyao Pavilion changed, it has been restructured.
As for their gold medal assassin … "Liang Enzai took the opportunity to raise his cup and drink to hide the smile on his face. Who would have thought that the God of Death would become his brother-in-law?
Could this be considered as him taking advantage of En Xu's blessing?
It resolved the hostility between him and Lin Siyao.
"I heard he's dead." Lou Yuanyou seemed to sigh with pity.
"Not necessarily."
Liang Enzai shook his head, "By the way, if there is any news in the future, go to the 'Guang Ci Tower'. It's safer there."
"What?
Your property? "Lou Yuanyou raised his eyebrows. He had never heard of it.
"No, but it's definitely safe." He could be considered one of them.
Since his brother-in-law suggested so in the letter, he believed it for the time being.
What's more, if the speculation was true, the Blood Hades had designs on Dahui. The transmission of the news was more important. If the news was leaked, it would affect the overall situation.
"I'll take care of the rest. You just have to keep an eye on the Prime Minister's residence." Liang Enzai finished the wine in his cup and stood up to leave.
"We also need to send more people to the Minister's residence.
I suspect that the Minister is also involved.
Don't you think that he has always been targeting the Prince Jing Palace and can't wait for something to happen to you? "
"Don't worry, I'll naturally take care of him." Liang Enzai waved his hand without turning back.
How could he forget about the Minister's residence!
Perhaps this time, the Blood Hades operation was also caused by that old man behind the scenes.
However, all of this would have to wait.
