The strong aroma of wine suddenly floated in the gentle night wind, mellow and spicy, and Qingyun couldn't help but frown slightly.

Who will drink to Yue at this time?

Could it be him?

After all, Rujin said that there were only three of her, a middle-aged male servant named Mingqi, and him in this courtyard.

As we walked away in search of the aroma of wine, the cold wind blew across the narrow path, sweeping through all of our senses, and the chill almost reached our bones.

Qingyun gathered her coat and walked forward slowly. The aroma of wine was getting stronger and stronger, but she felt as if she was far away, as if she was trapped in layers of fog and couldn't see the way out. She couldn't help but stop and look around. Surrounded by the faint flowers, trees and rockery pavilions, there is a menacing edge in his eyes.

This courtyard is indeed full of dangers, but it is not full of institutions as he said, but it is built based on the Qimen Dunjia technique.

It's a pity that although I have learned some Bagua magic, I can't see through which array the current position evolved from.

No wonder he didn't restrain himself. At this moment, let alone walking to the smell of wine, it was impossible to go back to the house.

"Take three steps back."

A low and cool voice came. Qingyun raised her eyebrows slightly and took three steps back. Then the voice came again: "Four from the left, one from the right, three from the top, six from the back..."

Moving step by step according to the prompts of the voice, the surrounding scenery kept changing. After a while, the eyes suddenly opened up. In the pavilion not far away, an old man with white hair and beard, a handsome and square face, was drinking in front of the moon. A candle The fire flickers in and out with the wind, and the fire-like Manzhu and Shahua flowers outside the pavilion bloom coquettishly. The bright moonlight casts a layer of clear light on the old man's face, making him look sad and lonely.

Slowly walked to the pavilion and sat down opposite the old man. Staring at the old man who was full of sadness, Qingyun's calm voice was full of alienation and ridicule: "Should I call you Feng Qingshang? Or Murong Qingyi? Or maybe yes......"

There were some things that she hadn't confirmed yet, but even if she had confirmed them, she couldn't say that name.

"Rujin told you everything." Murong Qingyi's tone was affirmative rather than questioning as she drank strong liquor in one sip after another.

Seeing the bitterness and loneliness in his eyes, a trace of sarcasm flashed across Qingyun's lips, and she turned to look at the full moon in the dark night sky without comment.

"This is 'Dream Returning Home'. It is brewed from the petals of the most blooming Manjushuahua flowers. The wine has a refreshing and elegant aroma. I brewed it for Shuhui myself. Shuhui said that every time she tastes this wine, she feels like she has returned to her hometown. Hometown, so I named it 'Meng Hui Xiang'... Since her death, I still brew three jars every year and bury them beside this pavilion." Picked up a wine glass, filled up 'Meng Hui Xiang' and put it in front of Qing Yun, Murong Qingyi's voice was hoarse: "Don't worry, it's not poisonous, and it won't cause your cold illness."

Reaching out to pick up the white jade wine glass on the table, she saw that the color of the wine was clear and bright red, and the aroma was as elegant as an orchid. The smell was refreshing. Qingyun took a shallow sip. It was sweet and mellow, making people feel breathless and lingering afterward. Lasts forever.

I dream of returning to my hometown, and my longing and melancholy are lingering in my bones. I am homesick but I can't go back to my hometown. I can only put my melancholy in this wine!

What a ‘dream back home’, what a delicate and gentle Murong Yue Shi Shuhui!

After taking a sip of strong wine, Murong Qingyi looked at the full moon, her eyes blurred, full of regret and sadness, and her whole body was covered with an indescribable and heartbreaking sadness: "Today is Shuhui's death anniversary. How can I have you here?" Burning a stick of incense in front of her spirit, I think she would be very happy to have her spirit in heaven."

After hearing this, Qingyun raised his eyebrows slightly.

No wonder she had been in Xinggu County for so many days, but Murong Qingyi chose today to kidnap her to the Murong family's villa. That's why.

She just didn't like Murong Qingyi, a coward who didn't stick to the end and didn't feel remorse until he hurt the people closest to him.

What's more, the Sima family and Juechen Palace are unrelenting enemies!

Murong Qingyi obviously didn't expect Qingyun to say anything, but he couldn't explain why. He felt particularly sad tonight. Maybe it was because today was the anniversary of his wife's death, or maybe it was because Qingyun's appearance was so similar to his wife's. There seemed to be something hidden in him. Unspeakable emotions aroused his heart, so that tonight he wanted to express the thoughts that he had suppressed for many years, but it seemed that he would not be happy if he did not.

"The Murong family and the Wen family are both famous families. Meng'er and I are similar in age. We have a deep love for each other since we were childhood sweethearts. We have already made a lifelong commitment to each other. However, my parents think that Meng'er is arrogant, domineering and greedy for vanity. They strongly oppose our being together and even put her together. I was locked in a room and watched closely by the officials, and I was not allowed to see Meng'er..."

Slowly playing with the white jade wine glass in her hand, Qingyun still looked at the cold full moon and sparse stars in the vast night sky, her face as calm as water.

Rujin had already told her about this grudge, but she wanted to hear what Murong Qingyi had to say, so she didn't stop him.

"I finally bribed the servant who was guarding me and escaped from the house, but Meng'er's parents had already married her away to the capital. After all the hard work, I got to the capital, and then I realized that Meng'er had married into a powerful family. I wanted to How easy was it to meet her? Later..."

Later, Murong Qingyi tried his best to find out that Wen Rumeng was going to Wan'an Temple to offer incense, so he waited at Wan'an Temple in advance and saw Wen Rumeng who was thinking about it day and night.

But Wen Rumeng's face was haggard, and there was unconcealable sadness between her eyebrows, which deeply hurt Murong Qingyi's heart. At that moment, Murong Qingyi felt extremely guilty that she had failed to protect Wen Rumeng, and she also resented her parents for breaking up the two of them. of happiness.

Murong Qingyi managed to lure Wen Rumeng to a secluded place. After being separated for several months, the two couldn't help themselves, so they did what they did. At the same time, Wen Rumeng told Murong Qingyi that she was pregnant. Murong Qingyi's bloodline.

Murong Qingyi, who had always been deeply in love with Wen Rumeng, was ecstatic when she learned that the two had the fruit of love. Naturally, she no longer wanted her beloved to stay with another man, and her own blood was used by other men. Father, the two of them agreed to elope and run away to another country three days later at night.

After reluctantly bidding farewell to Wen Rumeng, Murong Qingyi went to the Murong family's shop in the capital to take out several hundred thousand taels of silver notes, and then hid in a private house not far from the wealthy family's home, waiting anxiously and looking forward to it. A family of three will have a beautiful and happy life in the future.

Late at night three days later, Murong Qingyi came to the backyard wall that Wen Rumeng mentioned as promised, but she never heard the signal sound that the two agreed upon.

Time passed by and Wen Rumeng still did not appear. Murong Qingyi was anxious and worried about Wen Rumeng's safety. He wanted to climb up the courtyard wall to see what happened. Firstly, he had no power to restrain the chicken, and secondly, he was afraid of being beaten. People found that they could only hold on to the bag full of banknotes and wait patiently, secretly praying that Wen Rumeng could come out safely as soon as possible.

At this moment, the small door to the backyard suddenly opened quietly, Wen Rumeng walked out in a panic, and Murong Qingyi's hanging heart finally dropped.

Unfortunately, before Murong Qingyi could pull Wen Rumeng away, the originally dark and silent courtyard wall suddenly became brightly lit, and dozens of servants carrying lanterns quickly surrounded the two of them.

A handsome man in rich clothes, surrounded by his servants, walked slowly towards the two of them, but the man's expression could not be seen clearly in the firelight.

Wen Rumeng suddenly turned pale with fright, and her whole body was shaking uncontrollably. She looked at the man and whispered in horror: "Master, master..."

Protecting Wen Rumeng tightly behind him and staring at the rival in love who had stolen his beloved woman, Murong Qingyi suppressed the panic in his heart and straightened his back to confront the man proudly.

The man waved his hand, and two maids immediately stepped forward to help Wen Rumeng back to the room, while Murong Qingyi was escorted to a secret room by two servants.

Murong Qingyi, who was not willing to fall short, said boldly: "I and Meng'er truly love each other, and I ask the master to make it happen! I am willing to give these belongings to the master, and swear that I and Meng'er will go away from home anonymously, and will never appear in front of the master again."

Show up!" After saying that, he handed the bag full of banknotes to the man.

Unexpectedly, after receiving the banknote, the man not only failed to satisfy both Murong Qingyi and Murong Qingyi, but also forced Murong Qingyi to agree that the entire Murong family must be used by him.

Although Murong Qingyi resented his parents for ruthlessly breaking up him and Meng'er, he knew that the Murong family's current wealth and status were the result of several generations of hard work. Even if he was the next head of the family, he would never be able to do so because of his

It was a private matter that had ruined the hard work of several generations, so I sternly refused.

Seeing that Murong Qingyi remained stubborn, the man ordered his servants to beat him to death and then threw his body into the grave.

It happened that the former master of Juechen Palace passed by and saw that Murong Qingyi was still breathing, so he took him back to Juechen Palace and treated him with all his heart.

At this point, Murong Qingyi settled down in Juechen Palace. The previous palace master taught him all his life-long martial arts skills. Before his death, he also passed on the position and mission of the palace master to him, but he has never stepped out of Juechen Palace.

.

Three years later, Murong Qingyi, who had studied hard and practiced martial arts well, returned to Beijing again to take Wen Rumeng away.

However, the mansion was heavily guarded, and even though Murong Qingyi was highly skilled in martial arts, there was nothing he could do. In the end, he was defeated miserably, but the man was kind enough to let him see Wen Rumeng and his daughter.

Looking at the lover he longed for and his beautiful daughter, Murong Qingyi became more determined to get his lover and daughter back. He prepared to return to the Chen Palace to practice martial arts hard and develop his power, hoping that one day the family of three would be reunited.

Unexpectedly, on the way back to Juechen Palace, Murong Qingyi heard that her mother was seriously ill in bed and would die soon.

Thinking that his mother, who had loved and cared for him since childhood, had almost broken her heart for him, and shed tears because of his stubbornness and refusal to say goodbye, and was now seriously ill in bed, Murong Qingyi blamed herself so much that she decided to quietly return home to visit her mother, and then

Return to the palace of dust again.

Unexpectedly, it was only after Murong Qingyi saw his mother that he realized that her mother was pretending to be ill in order to trick him into going back. He wanted to leave but found that he was powerless...
