C18

Wasn't it too easy to live here in just two to three sentences?

He didn't know if it was because he was paranoid or not, but it was better to be safe than sorry. Ye Wulan cleaned up her own room.

Then, she wandered around the whole residence for more than two hours before she could finally make out the general topography of the place. Although the proton house was simple, it was actually quite a big place, with just two to three floors, almost ten buildings, and some rooms for solitude, there were more than twenty rooms. The pavilions in the backyard were not messy at all, and because no one had taken care of them over the years, they did not look messy at all.

The loft they were living in was called the Rising Sun Restaurant. Walking to the back, they suddenly stopped in front of a two-story loft.

"Bi Han Xuan." She gently read the words on the plaque.

Han, meaning the lotus that had yet to open, turned around to look. This Bi Han Xuan was at the lotus pond in the backyard, and it was currently June's weather. The lotus flowers were in full bloom, so it was a good place.

She could not help but walk in. The moment she stepped in, she immediately felt the fragrance of sandalwood wafting everywhere, and the faint scent of sandalwood on the proton's body seemed to be identical to the smell here. Could it be that other than resting in the Rising Sun Restaurant, he spent the rest of his time here?

He thought about the beautiful man who had accidentally jumped into the bathtub and came out from the water. He then thought about the man who was not angry even when being stepped on by a few beggars, the man with the surname of, who hid his smile and talked about life, and how he played the clever game once again in his mind.

It was the first time in Ye Wulan's life that she had been this curious about a person.

Curious about his life, curious about what he did, curious about what kind of life and circumstances he lived to create such a man who hid his elegance and calmness.

Among the sandalwood in the room, she saw several rooms with slightly open doors. She slowly walked over and pushed open the door, only to see that there were a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls of the room. The handwriting must have been written by a single person, and then another room was opened.

There was a painting in the corner that was covered with dust. Although the doors of these rooms were not locked, from the dust, it seemed that no one had come in for a long time.

Unexpectedly, Ye Wulan walked over, bent down to pick up the painting, and when she opened it up, she gently patted its surface, and saw that it was a classical beauty painting.

"Yo, he still has someone he has a crush on?" Ye Wulan suddenly opened her eyes and looked at the lifelike beauty in the painting. She looked to be around 20 to 30 years old, but there were no traces of time on her face.

Suddenly, Ye Wulan caught a glimpse of the stamp at the bottom left corner of the painting.

Hongyuan Thirty-seven summers, Tiantian An.

Long Sun Chime.

So his name was Long Sun Chuan, but the seal on the ground was "Long Sun".

According to what the ancients said, he should be called Zhang Sun Chuan.

Ye Wulan looked at the beauty painted on her hand, and did not move for a long time.

It was said that the new emperor of the Cang Hong Guo ascended to the throne four years ago, and the previous emperor died forty-one years ago. Based on her calculations, this painting was the one that Zhangsun Jinghuan drew eight years ago.

A dignified prince, from the age of thirteen until he was sent to such a desolate place to be humiliated, having a family that was hard to return to, suffering was difficult to put into words, the taunts of the Emperor, the indifference of the imperial family, and the mockery in the eyes of the people, there was no one by his side to accompany him.

Eight years ago, he was only fourteen years old.

It was said that this ancient woman could marry and have children at the age of fourteen or fifteen. From the looks of the painting, this girl was at most thirty years old.

In the name of the protons, he would never be able to return to his own country and would never have the chance to see his parents and brothers again. How miserable would that be?

A lonely image of a youth seemed to appear in his mind. Standing in this simple and crude house, he drew on the table in a desolate manner, sketching out his mother's image. With each stroke of the brush, he recounted his loneliness and suffering through the silent ink.

He looked at the pictures on the wall next to him. They had all been made two years ago, but it seemed that he hadn't drawn any of them since he was fifteen.

Ye Wulan suddenly remembered that she did not even know how her parents looked like since she was young, and could not remember anything at all. Thinking about how this world's most tragic people would never only be himself, but she could never be at ease about it.

She was in a daze for a while, until she let out a sigh and lightly hung the painting back on the wall. Suddenly, she stopped and turned around, only to see Zhangsun Jinghuan standing silently in front of the door.

"Uhh ?" Ye Wulan blinked, and immediately let go of her hands, as if she had secretly looked through her master's things and was caught in the end. She laughed awkwardly: "I have nothing better to do, I want to help you clean up these rooms in the pavilion. Look, it's full of dust!"

As she spoke, she turned and wiped the table with her fingers.

At the same time, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, "When did he come back?" Why is it so silent?

"You don't need to clean up here. Get out." Zhangsun Jinghuan remained expressionless and no longer looked at her. His gaze landed on the picture that she had just hung in the corner of the wall.

Ye Wulan's smile froze on her face, and she immediately glared at him with a black face. Clenching her teeth, she swung her hand and walked out with large strides, and when she walked past him, she paused for a moment, before turning and giving him a big supercilious look.

With that, he turned and left.

F * ck, this is how you talk to your grandma! You aren't courteous to me, are you? Then this grandma will be nice to you!

The girl ran into the kitchen with a look of displeasure on her face. She raised her kitchen knife and viciously chopped at the kitchen board. A cabbage root flew out and landed on the floor with a 'pi pi' sound.

In order to temporarily find a safe place to live, she endured it!

Damn you Zhangsun Jinghuan, you have to wait for the day when the defenses outside the Tian'an City retreat, then I will definitely ride your neck and beat you into a pig head before I can escape from the Tian'an City!

I'm calling you Niu Jia! I'll make you pay! I hate people more arrogant than me!

Ye Wulan's eyes opened wide, and she waved the kitchen knife with all her might.

One month later ?

The door that was tightly shut was kicked open. Ye Wulan walked in swaggering with an egg in her mouth and a square plate in her hands. There were two small butterflies and a plate of bread on the plate.

The moment he entered, he saw that Zhangsun Jinghuan was holding onto a book and seemed to be reading it carefully. Ye Wulan rolled his eyes, placed the square plate in his hands in front of him, and then retreated a little.

Zhangsun Jinghuan glanced at the oil stain on the side of her hand, then looked at the vegetables and bread on the plate. His beautiful eyebrows twitched, and he asked with a smile: "What kind of cake is this?"

For the past one month, Ye Wulan did not bother to stand on ceremony with him, and every day, other than bringing food over for dinner, she would absolutely not interact with him at all. During the day, when he was at the mansion, she would go out, and when he was not at the mansion, she would stay.

However, at such a young age, the food she cooked looked quite good. Moreover, it was very strange. There were all kinds of dishes, and there were even many that he had never heard of before.

"Egg cakes." Ye Wulan gave a simple and concise answer. After she finished speaking, she turned around and was about to leave.

Zhangsun Jinghuan did not keep her until she had heavily slammed the door and left. Only then did he slowly put down his book, and looked at the door that she had slammed shut with her feet every day, swaying gently with a creaking sound, as if he was deep in thought.

In a moment, a melodious and melodious tune of a zither came out from outside, Zhangsun Jinghuan stood up, walked to the window and opened it, only to find that there was something that resembled a concealed weapon flying towards him. His expression did not change, and he instantly held onto the concealed weapon with his fingers.

The concealed weapon was a thin star-shaped piece about the size of a copper coin. His fingers stroked the shallow patterns on the piece of paper. Instantly, the piece of paper split into two, and a slip of paper filled with words fell out.

Zhangsun Jinghuan quietly spread open the slip of paper, and in the next moment, the slip of paper, which was neither big nor small, turned into powder in his hand.

She couldn't help but stop in her tracks, and listened outside the door for a moment. After listening to the sound outside for a while, she was still unable to determine the direction of the sound, and couldn't help but squint her eyes, thinking back to when she heard Liu Yi playing the zither in the snow valley. The music was also similar, if it wasn't in front of her eyes, she wouldn't have been able to discern the direction of the sound.

And today, the zither music was even more exquisite, although the music did not have any killing intent, but it had surrounded the entire proton house, it was extremely strange.

Suddenly, she flipped herself up and jumped up. Her feet landed on the wall as she looked around to make sure that there was no one suspicious.

Suddenly, the sound of the zither gradually faded. She felt a sharp gaze sweep over to her and astonishingly turned around. She only saw a light blue zither in her arms as she leisurely turned around and flew away.

Ye Wulan squinted her eyes, thinking back to the two sharp eyes from before, her expression became serious and she leaped to chase after the man.

Who would have thought that this blue-clothed person was actually a woman? As she turned around, her fingers gently caressed the zither. Suddenly, an invisible blade came from the air and forced her to retreat.

Ye Wulan originally wanted to find out where the killing intent in the person's eyes came from, but this time, she was even more unrelenting, even though she could tell that the blue clothed girl was an expert. Her expression turned cold, and with a Star Shift, she instantly appeared in front of the blue clothed woman.

However, this woman's face was covered by a thin veil, so even when she was in front of him, it was impossible to see her appearance clearly.

Miao Yin did not expect her qinggong to be so powerful, she was shocked for a moment, but seeing her expression, which was obviously not going to let her go, she could not help but frown: "Why are you chasing me?"

"Just now, your eyes were completely filled with killing intent. You clearly had the intention to kill me. Dare I disapprove of this' elder sister '?" Ye Wulan sneered, and waved his hand towards her.

Miao Yin no longer spoke. Impressively, Ling Yun went straight up, and dodged her attack. His jade hand gently stroked the zither, and the invisible blade once again pressed down on her layer after layer, but Ye Wulan did not dodge. Instead, he raised his eyes and chuckled.

Miao Yin did not persist in battle at all, but seeing how deep her internal energy was at such a young age, and knowing that if she continued to pester him like this, she was afraid that her Highness would blame her, she could not help but touch the zither, causing an ear-piercing "zheng" sound to suddenly ring out. This sound was too noisy, causing Ye Wulan's eardrums to hurt, and she immediately felt that something was wrong.

"Damn it!" Where did all these weird people come from? " The thick killing intent in her eyes was so obvious. If he didn't want to fight her in public, could he be planning to ambush her from behind?

She turned and circled around the rooftops, thinking about how the blue-clothed woman might have high martial arts, but no matter how good her qinggong was, it was impossible for her to disappear without a trace, unless she was hiding somewhere nearby.

After they circled around for a while, a brothel named "Drunken Knee" entered Ye Wulan's line of sight. Her eyes glazed over as she thought about the blue-clothed woman from earlier.

Her petite figure walked step by step to the front of the "Drunken Knee" door. A few beautiful ladies who had dressed up with the pungent smell of powdered incense suddenly saw Ye Wulan, who was dressed in men's clothes, and immediately burst into laughter: "Sisters, quickly come and see, to think that such a young noble would actually come here to seek entertainment!"

"Little baby, are you looking for your mother or ?"

Ye Wulan did not even look at them, and directly walked in expressionlessly.

"Ahh, this ungrateful little boy, Mama Li, we have an youngest benefactor in our drunken slumber. Come and take a look ~ ~ ~"

It was broad daylight now and these women did not have much business. Not long after Ye Wulan walked in, dozens of beautiful women ran out and surrounded her, all of them looking at her with teasing eyes.

'Women are indeed the most gossipy ? '

This insufferable fragrance!

Ye Wulan could not take it anymore. She suddenly raised her hand and threw two taels of silver on the table. Under the shocked gazes of the ladies, she turned around and sat down on the chair in the middle: "Cut the crap, call all the girls out. Let me have a look."

"Yo, what a generous young master." Mama Li pushed her way through the crowd. When she saw the two ingots of silver on the table, she immediately walked forward with a smile and reached out to pick up the silver.

"Wait." Ye Wulan pressed her hand down, and expressionlessly said slowly: "You can only take the silver if you call out everyone."

"This ?" Mama Li paused and couldn't help but laugh. "Young Master, look, all the girls in my building have come out. They are all here."

"Is that so?" Ye Wulan glanced at them, then lowered her head disapprovingly, taking out a small piece of golden leaf from her sleeve, and played with it on her fingertip: "Are you sure one won't fall? Why don't we look again and see if any one of them is missing? "

"Yo, he really is a rich young master ?" A few girls were whispering to each other.

Mama Li looked at the gold leaf in her hand and her expression changed. She quickly tried to curry favor with him, "Young master, the ladies are really all here. It's daytime now and other than you, no other guests have come. Naturally, everyone has already come out."

Ye Wulan suddenly put the gold leaf back into her sleeves, seeing that there was no regret in mother Li's eyes, she couldn't help but to look around at the girls who were curious, but seemed to be extremely tight-lipped.

It seemed that this was not an ordinary place, these people who were supposed to covet money the most were still so strict with their words, perhaps they would not be able to get anything out of it if they only used silver. She grabbed the two silver ingots and put it in her bosom.

"Hey, you little kid! What's wrong?" Mama Li saw that he had actually put the silver in his bag, causing her expression to immediately change.

Nonsense, she didn't have much money, so how could she be so generous? This was all exchanged using Yu Feibai's clothes!

Ye Wulan did not reply, and simply went through the group of girls, taking advantage of when no one was looking, she quickly walked up the stairs.

She wanted to see what was so strange about this' drunk to the knees', and what was so wrong with that blue-clothed woman!

"Hey, stop her!" Mother Li was shocked and suddenly shouted.

Suddenly, from who knows where, a few big burly men ran out and stopped Ye Wulan, but in the blink of an eye, they were all knocked down to the ground by her.

"Heavens, Little Ancestor you!"

"I know you're here. Come out!" Ye Wulan kicked open a man who was lying on the ground, bypassed a beam pillar and walked forward with large strides.

"Quickly go and find out who exactly this child is. Quickly, call someone to take her away! It would be terrible if something bad happens to him! " Mother Li suddenly turned her head and whispered to a girl beside her.

The girl nodded and turned around. She then called the man in front of the door and told him to go out and check.

In less than a cup of tea's time, Ye Wulan had already flipped from the second floor to the third floor and had not come down yet. All of the thugs in the building had been pushed down by her, and the big sized man who had just left ran over, and went over to the anxious mother Li and whispered something into her ear. Mother Li was immediately shocked, and anxiously said: "Quick, quickly call him to come and take this little ancestor away!"

Ye Wulan searched through her "Drunken Knee" but she couldn't find any trace of the blue clothed lady. Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of someone behind him, and thought it was the person sent by mother Li.

He had just turned around to raise his hand when he froze.

"Why are you here?" She stared blankly at the tall figure in front of her with eyes filled with astonishment.

Zhangsun Jinghuan said expressionlessly: "Follow me back."

"I'm looking for someone, don't mind me." Ye Wulan completely ignored him, but she gradually withdrew all of the gathered Qi. With a sigh, she turned and continued to push open the doors.

"No matter who you're looking for, it's already too early for you to fight like this. Follow me back to the manor first."

"No, I can feel it. She's here."

Just as she finished speaking, she suddenly felt something tighten around her collar. She watched in astonishment as her feet left the ground. Her face darkened. She was actually lifted up by him.

"Let me go!" She did not want to bully the weak and turned her body. She did not use martial arts, but this was too embarrassing, alright?

"Everyone in this brothel knows that you are someone from my proton house. If you want to continue causing trouble for me, then struggle." With a displeased expression, he carried her downstairs. Under the gazes of the flowery crowd, he carried her out of the drunken slumber as she suddenly quieted down.

For a moment, Ye Wulan did not think deeply about why these women did not report to the officials but did not ask for more silver instead. She had just broken quite a few precious vases and long corridor's handrails in her fight with the big men just now, she had forgotten about this, and was only carried along the road by Zhangsun Jinghuan as she walked back to proton house.

It was just that Ye Wulan was afraid that she would harm him, so she wanted to understand what was going on. She wanted to avoid having to be on guard against her when she slept at night, but since he couldn't find her, she decided to just carry her away.

Even though ?

To be carried along this street, it was truly a disgrace to his maternal grandma!

While she was being carried, it was convenient for her to lower her head. No one could clearly see her face, so at least she still felt somewhat comforted.

When she was finally carried back to proton house, just as she was about to enter the residence's gate, Ye Wulan suddenly flung him off, but at the same time, Zhangsun Jinghuan released her hand. She was caught unprepared, and almost fell down, and immediately steadied herself.

He was silent. He turned his head slowly and looked at her indifferently, "If you dare go out and cause trouble, you should know that in this small city, any news spreads extremely fast."

Ye Wulan was mute and pursed her lips, then she said indifferently: "I have my ways of doing things. I already said, the two of us can only be considered as a business relationship, and you are not my master! It's fine this time, but if there's a next time, I will definitely not give you any face! "

Zhangsun Jinghuan suddenly curled his lips and laughed meaningfully, "There won't be a next time."

Ye Wulan stopped in her tracks.

Could it be that he was planning on chasing her away?

F * ck! If he really wants to hurry, then I won't be merciful, so let's go!

If this place did not have a lord, then there would be a lord!

"Do you know why I let you stay in the proton house so easily?" He slowly walked towards the Rising Sun Tower as he spoke.

Ye Wulan could not help but follow him, and she could understand the hidden meaning behind his words, "What do you want to say?"

Zhangsun Jinghuan did not say anything. When he arrived at the Rising Sun Restaurant, he paused for a moment, and Ye Wulan could see that he wanted her to follow him inside.

"Strange." Ye Wulan muttered, sshe raised her hand and rubbed the neck that had been strangled all the way down to the ground, frowning. Realizing that he had something to say, he walked in unwillingly.

Following him all the way to his room, Ye Wulan pouted: "What exactly do you want to say?"

Zhangsun Jinghuan walked to the round table and took out a piece of paper from beneath the inkstone. Ye Wulan raised his eyebrows and looked, seeing that there was a drawing of a green snake on it, he was startled for a moment, but then his face froze and he suddenly pressed his hand on his shoulder, asking in shock: "How did you get this map?"

She had only seen that green snake tattoo once, and it was on her own shoulder. It looked like an ordinary birthmark, but she wasn't as gullible as the ancients. She knew it was a snake tattoo, and judging by its size, it should have been tattooed on her body since it was very small.

Zhangsun Jinghuan held onto the piece of paper with the Green Snake pattern on it, and turned to look at Ye Wulan with vigilance in her eyes: "My Cang Hong Guo has two women and a son, General Yue Qian and his wife, their concubine Yu's, has been in the house for more than ten years, and only a few years ago, I found out that the Yu's was pregnant, that in the first month of pregnancy, they were chased away by their enemies outside of General Yue's house, and then I sent people to look for them, but instead, found Yu's's lonely grave in a field at the foot of the mountain.

Ye Wulan's mouth twitched: "Your Highness, it can't be that you want to tell me a story?"

Zhangsun Jinghuan laughed and gave the paper with the green snake pattern to her.

After Ye Wulan received it, he slowly said. "Someone as intelligent as you should be able to guess what I want to say."

Ye Wulan frowned, then suddenly remembered that when she left Longevity Hall, Yu Feibai had faintly mentioned her ancestry, but she had only said half of it, and it was unclear why, but she did not understand either.

Hearing Zhangsun Jinghuan's words now, why did it seem so much like something "tell a young and pitiful child about their true origins"?

She was frightened by her own dog blood and stood straight. She looked at the man in white with suspicion, "How would I know what you want to say if you didn't say it?"

He smiled, "In the village where Yu's lived when he left this world, there was a custom. If a mother died due to childbirth, she would be deemed as the killer, and they would ask some Daoists to leave tattoos of different shapes on the baby's body. As for the daughter born in Yu's, she had a picture of a green snake on her shoulder."

Ye Wulan swallowed her saliva, smacked her lips together, and caressed his shoulder: "I don't remember showing my shoulder in front of you, how did you know I had this tattoo?"

"When I was young in Cang Hong Guo, I met with your mother during royal father's birthday banquet. Your appearance was practically carved out of the same mold as hers, and when I first saw you, I felt that you looked familiar. "Looking back, I should be ten years old, so it should be you."

Ye Wulan was suddenly speechless. She had held back for a long time, to the point where she couldn't think of a single word to say.

"If there really is a tattoo on your shoulder, the General Yue will personally come to bring you home half a month later." There were no waves in his eyes. Other than that cold smile that was still distant, she could not find any other emotions from him.

Of course, she didn't think that Zhangsun Jinghuan had any motives behind deceiving her.
