When Qin Anhe heard that Su Mu was back, the cup in his hand almost suffered misfortune, but fortunately, A Pei who was on the side quickly stabilized it.

After not returning home for a long time, Su Mu almost forgot the atmosphere of Marquis Mansion. It was not until he saw Qin Anhe standing at the door looking at him with tears in his eyes that he felt that he had really returned home for a long time.up.

There were so many things that happened along the way, and the time away from home was much longer than he thought, even though he was not really connected with this family, he couldn't help but feel very missed.And Qin Anhe immediately sent people down to prepare dinner, and held Su Mu's hand in surprise and joy to look him over.

Marquis Mansion became lively because of Su Mu's return, and Su Mu was rarely completely relaxed, and slept until the sun was up on the second day.

Even if there are a lot of things waiting for him to investigate tomorrow, he is still asleep today.

When he woke up, the sun outside had already shone in, and he didn't have to go out, so he didn't have to keep his hair tied up all the time. He tied a ribbon loosely as before and inserted the original white hosta to finish the job.Before he finished cleaning up, Ah Huan's voice sounded outside the door.

"Little Marquis, Master Liu of Dali Temple seems to have something to do with you, and he is waiting for you in the front hall now."

Su Mu's hand paused, although why did this scene seem so familiar.

But it seems to be different from before.

When he rushed to the front hall in a hurry, Qin Anhe was sitting in his seat and chatting with Liu Xiaoran with a smile on his face. Of course, it seemed to be a one-sided export. Liu Xiaoran obviously couldn't resist Mrs. Qin's kind greeting.

Just before a stick of incense, he was still at a loss as to how to talk to Qin Anhe. After all, the last meeting between the two was not pleasant, and he forcibly took Su Mu away from her, even though it was a business trip.I have to do it myself, but now I still feel a little guilty from the bottom of my heart when I want to face Mrs. Qin.

But the facts don't seem to be what he thought.

Qin Anhe not only had a gentle attitude, but even started talking with him very naturally.

While suppressing the astonishment in her heart, Liu Xiaoran tried her best to respond to Qin Anhe's question. When Su Mu came, the topic had already entered into why Liu Xiaoran had not yet married at such an age. This eternal propositionThe Shaoqing of Dali Temple didn't know how to answer.

Before Su Mu stepped through the door, he heard Qin Anhe questioning whether Liu Xiaoran had a family. He paused, and dodged aside in a very rude way. He was actually very curious about this question.

In modern society, Liu Xiaoran is only twenty-four, so it is normal for her not to be married, but this is in ancient times, where time has gone back a thousand years, and there are only a handful of people who have not yet married at the age of twenty-four, let alone a career like Liu Xiaoran's.Someone who has achieved something early.

Seeing that Liu Xiaoran didn't answer for a long time, he couldn't hold back his laughter, it was still very rare to see Master Liu being deflated.

However, Liu Xiaoran's behavior is the legendary dedication of her body and mind to her work.

With a feeling of respect for the national staff, Su Mu finally put away the smile on his mouth, cleared his throat, and relieved the situation thoughtfully.

"Mother." He stepped forward first, saluted Mrs. Qin, and then turned to Liu Xiaoran. Seeing the latter's relaxed expression, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile, "Let Mrs. Liu wait for a while."waited."

Although it was supposed to be some apologetic words, Su Mu's expression was more like a child who stole a snack. Liu Xiaoran thought for a while, and connected the sound of the sound at the door just now with the person in front of her, quite helplessshook his head.

"Yu Zhi is here, so let's talk first if you still have business to do, mother will not bother you." Qin Anhe was still amiable, and before leaving, he carefully looked Liu Xiaoran up and down, satisfiedleft.

A few days ago, Mrs. Wang came to inquire if her child was already married. The young lady of the Wang family is pretty good. The only fly in the ointment is that she is two years older than Su Mu, but it is difficult to refuse because of her affection. See you todayLiu Xiaoran, found that the other party is really a good-looking talent, and the age is suitable, isn't this just the right way to lead to a good marriage?

The more she thought about it, the more reasonable it became, she happily took Ape and went out.

This news has to be told to Mrs. Wang as soon as possible, so that someone can go and talk to the Liu family in person.

When Qin Anhe went out and could no longer see her figure, Liu Xiaoran asked hesitantly: "Ma'am, she..."

"Maybe it's because I keep writing how much you take care of me in my letters, so my mother is also grateful to you." Su Mu smiled and patted Liu Xiaoran on the shoulder, "If you ask too much, please forgive me, Master Liu.".”

Liu Xiaoran turned her head to the side, and she could see that Su Mu wasn't hiding anymore, and she was smiling blatantly.

"you……"

"Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore. It's rare to see that our Master Liu can't answer, so he finds it really interesting, so he can't help but listen to it for a while." Su Mu explained with a smile, looking at Liu Xiaoran'sFrom the look on his face, he knew that the other party must not be annoyed by this matter.

Just when he finally put away his smile and was about to ask Liu Xiaoran the purpose of coming here, Liu Xiaoran suddenly asked in a mysterious way: "You have also reached the age to start a family, but you have someone you like?"

Su Mu's smile froze on his face. Sure enough, he was the one being asked the question, and it seemed that he was not as interesting as before. It took him a long time to see the flashing smile on Liu Xiaoran's face.

Unexpectedly, Liu Shaoqing would be so vengeful.

When this episode was finally uncovered, Liu Xiaoran did not delay. After he went back the day before, he found the files of the He Lang case, but it is a pity that the evidence about his treason and collusion with the enemy was beyond the court.There is no other description other than a brief stroke of the book, and the case of the general's mansion in Capital City is also rarely recorded.

"Thirty-two people in the General's Mansion should have died in this fire. There shouldn't be only a few strokes." Liu Xiaoran frowned and said, "Even if it was because of He Lang's collaboration with the enemy that his family was involved, such a large number of people should not be so.Hastily closed the case with robbers breaking into the house."

Su Mu followed his words and asked, "Do you think someone deliberately erased the traces, or in other words, concealed the truth from the beginning?"

Liu Xiaoran nodded, although there is no direct evidence to prove this, but all kinds of anomalies are enough to show that there must be someone behind the He Lang case, even the final annihilation.

The two looked at each other, tacit understanding.

The Taifu Wei who took the lead in identifying He Lang as a collaborator is the most suspicious person, and Taifu Wei is a member of King Ning. Could it be that all of this was also written by King Ning?

"He is three years older than me. Seven years ago, he was only a weak crown."

Su Mu looked at Liu Xiaoran, who lowered his eyes and said indifferently: "We were close when we were young, and we studied and practiced martial arts together. At that time, he also said that if one day he can be alone, he will definitely protect the people of the world.No disasters, no troubles."

Su Mu was taken aback for a moment, but he never thought that Liu Xiaoran and King Ning were close. If King Ning hadn't called Liu Xiaoran's name when he was in Jiangzhou City, he would have thought that the two didn't know each other.

"At that time, we also agreed that when I grow up, I will be like... just like your father, fighting everywhere to protect the peace, and he will do his best to seek the well-being of the people and enjoy a peaceful and prosperous world. The chance we met laterFew, but I always remember what I said at that time. At that time, there was a war in Lingnan, and the imperial court sent Marquis Anding to lead an expedition. At that time, I wanted to take the opportunity to join his command, but it was a pity..."

He shook his head lightly: "It's a pity that he had a sudden illness at that time, and when he recovered, he had already missed the time for the army to set off, so he just missed it."

Hearing what he said, Su Mu was even more surprised. He knew that Su Yi was a hero that everyone admired, but he never thought that Liu Xiaoran would also target him.

"Then why did you end up in Dali Temple?" Su Mu was quite puzzled, "According to this, Yan Xuan should join the army."

"Yes, I was not from Dali Temple before." Liu Xiaoran's voice paused, but she still confessed the past, "I used to be a lieutenant in the Shence Army."

Shence Army.

Su Mu's eyelids twitched, it was a familiar term again.

As far as he knew, the son of the current general of the Shence Army suspected that he had tricked his younger brother into killing him.

"The Shence Army was supposed to be the division of Capital City to protect the capital, but in fact it is no longer the case. Those in power no longer have a pure heart to protect the country and the country. The Shence Army I saw is just a puppet for the superiors to exert power.The direction of our sword is not the war that harms the common people, but the trifle of nobles fighting for power. Although I hate it, I am still powerless to change it." Liu Xiaoran shook her head, "The protection of officials and officials has long become a tangled network.To disintegrate this network bit by bit, I must find evidence that they rely on their power to do whatever they want, so that their crimes can be made public."

"This is my first thought when I came to Dali Temple."

Liu Xiaoran's eyes were stubborn and determined. Although the look was still faint, Su Mu could feel that under these calm words, it was the disheartened young man who was exuberant when he left, and the feeling of entering Dali Temple.At that time, he wanted to expose all evil ambitions.

He seemed to understand why at the beginning everyone emphasized that Liu Xiaoran was a cold-faced King of Hades who ruled over the powerful, after all, that's why people came to Dali Temple.

"It was after that that I discovered that King Ning was no longer what he used to be. He also tried to win me over for the sake of his subordinates. He hoped that I would be lenient, and even used his aunt's relationship to persuade me not to do so., This will only cut off my own way of retreat, if my mother didn't stop me everywhere, maybe I..."

"No." Su Mu sat opposite him and shook his head seriously, "Even if Madam Bai didn't stop you, you wouldn't give up just yet."

"Otherwise you wouldn't have left the Shence Army and came to Dali Temple."

He looked at Liu Xiaoran fixedly, and came to a conclusion with great certainty: "The Dali Siqing I know is like this."
