The New Year in Tubeishan was joyful and lively.
The aroma of various rice cakes and fruits in the village gradually faded from the beginning of the new year to the Lantern Festival.
At the beginning of spring, when the villagers took advantage of the spring sunshine to plow the fields and sow seeds, Tianbao, Bai Yu and several brothers also began to get busy.
In the past, I only had to go to my husband's house for lessons in the morning, practice kungfu by myself in the afternoon, and then choose a place to play with Grandpa Du.
Not now, I'm so busy that I barely have time to play.
Tianbao and Bai Yu were taken to Wangque Tower every afternoon to learn the art of disguise and mechanism.
Su An followed Big Beard to learn how to sail a boat, how to swim, and how to deal with officials from various municipal shipping departments.
Su Wu spent more time with Bai Kui than Bai Yu. Within half a year, he had a thorough understanding of Bijifang and began to keep an eye on Bai's rich weapons arsenal.
As for Su Wen, who had the greatest ambition, he bit his pen and wrote articles at home every day, but was criticized by his husband as worthless. Every night when the children gathered together, he was at his most depressed.
During this period, news began to come back intermittently from Changjing.
Princess Changle returned to the princess mansion again. She was still cute and tyrannical, but for some reason she suddenly got tired of playing her favorite games in the past, and she never received any new faces in the backyard.
Everything is fine with Broken Blade, and they are still secretly trying to find evidence of Emperor Hong De's crime. However, more than ten years have passed since the Yuan family incident, and it is more difficult to find clues and evidence again, and it will not happen overnight.
Everyone is working hard towards their goals and moving forward step by step.
…
Time flies, year after year.
In the early morning of June, there was morning glow and mist.
A carriage stopped in front of Xiao Su's courtyard.
A fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was sitting on the front of the car with one leg bent, his nose straight and his lips thin, his eyes slightly closed. He wore a moon-white brocade robe with arrow sleeves and a jade belt around his waist. His satin-like hair was tied up with a white ribbon, and his posture was lazy and carefree.
"Tianbao, hurry up. My godfather told us to arrive early today. My brother got up before dawn to pick you up." His voice was soft and clear, like pearls falling on a plate. The words were urging, but the tone was slow and casual, as if he was deliberately teasing the other person.
The old wooden door opened and someone walked out.
The early morning sunlight penetrated the mist and immediately fell on her body, reflecting her features.
An eleven or twelve-year-old girl with a pure and beautiful appearance, a pair of clear apricot eyes that are unstained by the sun and are warm, indifferent and quiet.
She wears lake green long-sleeved trousers with slanted edges and a white belt to tie her slender waist.
The temperament is cool.
When he raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows, he felt calm and confident.
Hearing the footsteps approaching, the closed-eyed boy raised the corners of his lips, turned his head and opened his eyes, with a smile in his eyes, "Please let me wait, get in the car, there is your favorite chestnut cake in the compartment drawer."
The girl's hair was also tied up with a jade-colored ribbon and tied into a high ponytail. When she jumped into the car, the ponytail swayed lightly, exuding wisps of elegant fragrance.
When she passed the young man and got into the carriage, she tapped the young man on the forehead with her bent finger, and her voice was like a cold spring, clear and sweet, "Junior brother."
Bai Yu caressed the place where he was knocked, the smile in his eyes became stronger, and he said in a long tone, "Yes, yes, senior sister - sit tight, let's go. Drive!"
The carriage sped out of the village, and the loess road was filled with dust.
The three young men who came out in one step were disappointed as soon as they went out. They were so angry that they yelled at the carriage that was running away, "Bai Yu! I have to deal with you in the morning class tomorrow!"
What responded to the three of them was the laughter of young man Zhang Yang coming from afar.
On the wall of the courtyard next door, a bird's nest suddenly popped up, staring at the three of them with triangular eyes, and sneered, "There is no morning class this morning. Where do you want to go out so early?"
Three, "..."
"Don't even think about running away today. Follow me up the mountain to catch the Snake King!"
The three boys immediately dispersed, "Grandpa Poison, only Tianbao can catch the snake king! It's okay if I catch the snake grandson for you, but I won't accompany you this time. You can play by yourself first, hahaha!"
"You bastard! Stop, you are finished! Wait until I catch you!!"
The door to Huo's house across the street opened with a bang, and a small figure ran out clutching a wooden sword. He must have just woken up, and his hair had not even been combed, and it was in a mess on his forehead.
The little baby looked around with eyes wide open, slashing with the small wooden sword in the air, and screamed, "Where is my sister Tianbao! Bai Yu is here to steal my sister from me again! I want to beat him!"
Mrs. Huo leaned against the door of the courtyard and laughed, "As expected of me! You mother was so heroic back then!"
After one person and one child, the man's sweet voice was extremely helpless, "Madam, be careful, Xiaomai Sui, come back and put down your sword."
The poison does not invade the eyes, the eyes do not squint and run away.
Otherwise, Wheat Sui will catch him and fight him later.
These days, it's really fucking crazy.
On the other side, the carriage slowed down after leaving the village and drove smoothly.
Tianbao held a snack box in her arms, which contained exquisite chestnut cakes. She ate two pieces before she spoke, "Have you received any new news from your godfather?"
Bai Yu listened to the slight sound of eating from behind and raised his lips slightly, "It should be so. In the past few years, the three major forces have strictly guarded the entrance and exit points, and there are still people sneaking in several times. Although nothing serious happened, it also proves that the people behind them have never given up. . Quite annoying.”
"Yeah." It's quite annoying.
Especially those people who want to kill are all the people she cares about.
Tianbao sipped off the crumbs of pastry from his fingertips, leaned against the wall of the carriage and looked out the window, his apricot eyes slightly narrowed, his eyes dark.
"Tianbao, what are you thinking about?" The young man's voice sounded outside again.
Tianbao said calmly, "I'm thinking about how to fight back."
"You can fight any way you want, just count me in."
"Of course it counts."
This sentence brought joyful laughter from the boy.
Tianbao raised his eyebrows and kicked him through the car curtain.
The laughter outside was even louder.
The inner city has been in chaos for several years.
After entering the city, you can hear the sound of fighting, and the roar can be heard from the street to the end of the street.
The carriage traveled along the avenue, finally turned into an alley, and stopped at the back door of Wangque Tower.
Looking straight up from the back door to the third floor of the Magpie Tower, you can hear the music of the piano.
When Bai Yu heard this, he knew that his godfather was not in a good mood and was acting like a mountain ghost.
"Daddy, Tianbao and I are here."
"Knock on the door."
The door was open, and Bai Yu had already stepped inside. He went back and knocked twice perfunctorily on the door panel. He smiled and walked to the guqin, "Godfather, someone made you unhappy?"
Bai Xiaofeng raised his eyelids and glanced at the young man, "Whoever makes me unhappy can't do it as often as you."
Tianbao sat down next to the incense burner and soaked his clothes with the fragrance, "Godfather, stop playing. I have something to say."
"When will you be more patient? Is a song a waste of your time?"
Tianbao sighed silently, "What on earth makes you so unhappy?"
Following Bai Xiaofeng in the past few years, his godson and goddaughter have become familiar with his emotional changes.
Whenever he talks to Gan, it means he is extremely unhappy.
Bai Xiaofeng, "..." was seen through and felt even more unhappy.
He pressed the strings with both hands. After the music stopped, he leaned over and took out a secret letter from under the piano case and threw it to the two of them, "Guiyi Pavilion has strangled one of my intelligence networks in Darong."
