At the highest point of Wanhua Tower, there was silence.
Luochuan and Nanfeng looked at each other without any dodge.
After a long time, Nan Feng suddenly smiled, moved his eyes to the wine bottle in his hand, poured himself a glass and said, "You think I'm advising you to obey your fate," he shook his head and did not finish the sentence. , seemed to be a little uninterested, "I was young once. At your age, let alone things that we can't do. If you can do it, it will be a great joy."
Nanfeng picked up the folding fan again to fan himself. He raised his head and looked at Luochuan again, "Next, let's talk about another thing."
Luo Chuan asked, "Is it about the senior in red asking me to go to your hometown in person to find a senior from Chao Mu?"
"This matter..." Nanfeng tilted his head, as if he was caught up in an extremely confusing problem. After thinking for a moment, he answered cautiously, "This matter should wait until I send the news back to my hometown. After that, let the old people arrange the next thing, see you or not see you."
"According to the agreement, even if the senior Chao Mu doesn't want to see me, I only need to go to your hometown in person, and the task will be considered completed," Luo Chuan asked tentatively with a slight frown, "But the senior in red still asked I had to complete this matter within half a year. To this end, she held one of my friends as a hostage. However, due to my current status and the following battle in Yongchang, no matter what the outcome, short-term Within a short period of time, it will definitely attract countless eyes. If I go to your hometown at this time, I am afraid it will not be of any benefit to both of us. Is it possible... to let the senior Chao Mu come to leave the city? Or Cang Yan, want to meet me?"
"It's impossible," Nanfeng Ruo glanced at Luo Chuan thoughtfully, and ended his topic bluntly, "Let you go to your hometown quietly, although it is troublesome, but after careful consideration, it is not necessarily possible. You can’t hide it from the eyes and ears of the world, but if you let him come, it’s absolutely impossible not to attract attention.”
Luo Chuan's face was expressionless, but his heart was filled with ups and downs. All the previous incidents related to Qingcheng Mountain came together, and there was an answer that shocked him. For a moment, he felt uneasy.
He lowered his gaze and pondered for a long time, then raised his head and said slowly, "Then I'll leave it to senior to arrange it. Luochuan will be waiting for good news in Li County." He paused for a moment and then asked, "So, what did senior want to say earlier?" If this is not the case, then what is it?"
The folding fan in Nanfeng's hand stopped in front of his chest and said, "This matter... concerns your mother."
Luo Chuan's hand that had just grasped the wine glass couldn't help but tighten, and he left a finger mark on the silver wine glass. He did not raise his head to look into Nan Feng's eyes, nor did he look at the first reply to the question while standing by the window. Qianxue looked over, either Siqi or Yingying. He just lowered his head, as if he was thinking about some political problem, and remained silent.
Qianxue closed the window silently, walked to the table and sat down. She glanced at the expressionless Nanfeng and said calmly, "Tell me, how is she..."
Nanfeng raised his head slightly and looked at the carved beams in the hall. He spoke slowly, as if telling a story that happened a long time ago, "After Lu Zu left, we actually sent many people to the southwest. In Hanzhou, we found various people to find out what happened in Li County more than ten years ago. Maybe we were lucky, or maybe..." He chuckled, "Or maybe someone He helped secretly, so that secrets that few people knew back then gradually became clearer."
There was silence in the hall, only the voice of Nanfeng seemed to be murmuring, "Twenty-one years ago, your mother came back from southern Xinjiang and had already reached the six realms of perfection, but she was unwilling to break through and insisted on coming here. Li Jun wants to complete a unique final trial that satisfies her here..."
Behind Luo Chuan, Si Qi listened intently, and beside her, the shadow-like body of a stone sculpture trembled slightly.
Qianxue glanced sideways for a moment, glanced at the only exposed eye on Shadow's body, and then looked at Nanfeng again.
"Twenty years ago, you were born," Nanfeng looked at Luochuan with a faint voice, "Before you were born, for some unknown reason, your mother went north to Wuzhou in the northwest alone, where she met a woman from the Yun family in Guangjun. And changed her name to Yunyue. Shortly after you were born, she took you to Yunyue.
Home is called visiting a sick friend, but it is actually the same as taking refuge. It was at this stage that Luo Tianen married Meng Fanxing, the daughter of the prefect of Yongchang County. "
Luo Chuan frowned and raised his head when he heard this, but in the end he did not voice out the many confusions in his heart, and allowed Nan Feng to continue talking faster and faster.
"Eighteen years ago, when you were two years old, you were sent back to Licheng as the eldest son. Also sent back was your mother's body." Nanfeng said in a gloomy tone, "This year, you The half-brother was born, and in the same year the Nanyi troops marched northward. At this juncture, your father unexpectedly became the governor of Lijun, and then led his army southward, defeating the Nanyi troops at Baitong and Taiming. When he returned to the imperial court, the first thing he did was to send you as a hostage to Zhongjing City, where you were imprisoned for sixteen years..."
Luo Chuan finally couldn't help but interrupted Nan Feng and asked, "My mother's good friend in the Yun family in Guang County is Yun Bailou's mother. It is said that we have a very close friendship. What the senior means is that my mother's death, Is it related to the Yun family in Guangjun?! Or...is it related to the Meng family in Yongchang?!"
Nanfeng shook his head, "Originally we thought so too, so we spent a lot of time on the Yun family in Guangjun and the Meng family in Yongchang, but we found that your mother took you to live in the Yun family in Guangjun for a year, except for Yun Bailou. Except for the strange illness of his mother, nothing unusual happened. The Meng family in Yongchang was peaceful and even a little abnormal. In those two years, Meng Xiaotian reportedly did not even write a letter home to Meng Fanxing. , at least that's what it seems on the surface." He looked at Luochuan, "We couldn't find any new clues about what happened in the middle, until... we got a beautiful folding fan in Licheng .”
Luo Chuan's eyes narrowed and he didn't answer.
Nanfeng stared at Luochuan, Qi Qi paused on his chest for a moment, and said slowly, "The poems behind the beautiful folding fan, after decryption, are the names and information of several people, none of them are big people. , without paying any price, we got what we wanted from them, a secret, a secret that has a huge relationship with you. ".
Luochuan looked back at Nanfeng. Qianxue, Siqi and Shadow were all staring at him, and the atmosphere was heavy.
Nan Feng pointed at Luo Chuan's chest and said word by word, "Shortly after you were born, someone planted an extremely dangerous restriction in your heart!!!"
"What?!!"
