262. Kneel down!(1/2)
Leiyang City, Tianli Kingdom, is approaching February 15th.
Mu Yan is almost three months pregnant. After returning to Prince Xiao’s Mansion, Xiao Xinghan, who had been practicing day and night, would only meditate in their room when Mu Yan was sleeping. When Mu Yan was awake, Xiao Xinghan was always by Mu Yan’s side, and she could be said to be indecisive.
And Yin Jian and Mingsha’s master and disciple who had been “waiting” never appeared, and the city of Leiyang was calm.
"Xiao Hanhan, where will you be, your immortal master, be now?" Mu Yan lay lazily on the lounge chair in the yard, with the sun shining warm. Xiao Xinghan sat beside her, playing the piano, playing a folk tune, very cheerful song.
Hearing Mu Yan's words, Xiao Xinghan finished playing the song. He stopped, reached out and pushed the broken piece in front of Mu Yan's forehead behind his ears, shook his head slightly and said, "I don't know."
"I heard from the Master that Penglai Island, that person is very likely a foreigner. Are you also a foreigner?" Mu Yan said, looking up and down at Xiao Xinghan, "You have no other characteristics except for being overly beautiful."
Hearing Mu Yan's serious words, Xiao Xinghan curled his lips slightly, pulled Mu Yan's hand, and said with his fingers in contact: "It doesn't matter where I came from. My most important identity is your husband."
Mu Yan sighed: "Xiao Hanhan, I still remember what you looked like when we first met you. Look at it now, it is not easy for you to even speak love words so fresh and refined!"
"You taught me well." Xiao Xinghan smiled slightly. Although the biggest trouble has not been solved yet, Xiao Xinghan's mood has improved a lot these days with Mu Yan. Mu Yan always has a kind of comforting power. Her optimism and calmness have a great impact on Xiao Xinghan.
"Well, you're right." Mu Yan nodded, laughed as she finished speaking, and then said thoughtfully, "Although your life experience is not that important to us, we still need to check what we should know. What if you are really a foreigner and were kidnapped here by the immortal, your biological parents are looking for you!"
"I have parents." Xiao Xinghan said calmly. To him, he is the Xiao family, the son of Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan, and Xiao Yuesheng's younger brother. This will never change.
Mu Yan nodded slightly: "I hope that the trouble will be solved sooner and bring our parents back. They must be waiting to hold their grandson. Xiao Yan said before that he wanted a younger brother. No, I think his parents might want a granddaughter more. Xiao Hanhan, what do you think?"
"Next time I have a daughter, and this time I have a son." Xiao Xinghan said, staring at Mu Yan's stomach.
"You have an obsession with beating your son, I understand." Mu Yan's lips curled slightly. Every time Xiao Xinghan said she wanted to beat her son, she found it very interesting.
"Little brother and sister, what do you think this is?" Xiao Yuesheng rushed into the yard like a gust of wind, holding a very beautiful kite in his hand. The kite is in the shape of stars and looks quite childlike.
"Brother, did you make it yourself? You really love your brother Xing'er!" Mu Yan said with a smile.
"No, no! This is not for Xing'er's younger brother, this is for Xiao Xing'er!" Xiao Yuesheng smiled, "The spring is bright now, and it is most suitable for outings. However, Xiao Yan is not at home, Xiao Xing'er is still in your belly with your younger brother and sister. Brother, I can only take Xiao Fat Girl to play with you."
"Brother, you are clearly happy with it." Mu Yan said with a smile.
"Of course!" Xiao Yuesheng said with a smile, "Little fat girl likes me now. She likes my roasted chicken legs, listens to me playing the piano, likes me teaching her light skills, and likes me taking her out on horseback. You guys are waiting for the wedding bar!"
"Brother, you are very good." Mu Yan said sincerely.
Xiao Yuesheng blinked: "You have been back for a few days and haven't welcomed you yet. I told the fat girl that she will cook tonight and let's have a meal together!"
"Okay." Mu Yan smiled and nodded.
Xiao Yuesheng handed the star-shaped kite to Mu Yan, then turned around and left with a smile. But after leaving the yard, his expression became a little solemn, and he hurried to the yard where Qi Ying lived.
In the evening, Qi Yuchan was busy in the kitchen, and Xiao Yuesheng was helping her. Mu Yan wanted to help, but Qi Yuchan pushed her out without saying anything, saying that she would rest and not be choked by the breath of fireworks.
"Little sister." Mu Lin walked over and looked at Mu Yan with concern and asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable in your body?"
"No, I'm in good health now, don't worry, brother." Mu Yan said to Mu Lin. On the day she came back, Mu Lin learned that she was pregnant and was so nervous at that time. She confirmed with Xiao Xinghan three times before she believed that she had not suffered or injured during the period of time. The child in her belly was fine and there was nothing wrong with it.
"Well, you have to take good care of yourself." Mu Lin reached out and stroked Mu Yan's head and said. The failed Blood Trace Gu let them all know that they have no blood relationship and are not brothers and sisters. But they both tacitly did not mention this matter, and did not explore the secret of Mu Yan's life experience for a while.
"Brother, why do you say it seems like you are leaving?" Mu Yan said with a smile.
"No." Mu Lin shook his head, "I want to protect you, I won't leave."
"Brother, I have said it many times. You should be happier. Don't always frown and keep protecting me. I'm very good and can take care of myself. I hope my brother has his own life and find me a sister-in-law as soon as possible." Mu Yan said to Mu Lin with a serious expression.
There have been many times such topics between brothers and sisters, but this is the first time Mu Lin nodded with a smile and said one word: "Okay."
When night fell, the family banquet at Prince Xiao’s mansion began.
At this time, there were not many people in the Xiao Prince's Mansion, Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan, Xiao Yuesheng, Mu Lin, Qi Ying and Qi Ao and Qi Yuchan. Dugu Ao, who had gone to Beimo Kingdom to deliver a letter, was still on his way back.
"Master, Uncle Qi, Xiaoyu, thank you for these days." Mu Yan raised her glass and looked at the three grandparents and grandchildren of the Qi family and said, "Because of our affairs, you have not returned home for the New Year, and I feel sorry for it."
"Girl, you don't like to listen to this!" Qi Ying disagreed and said, "We are already a family now. Why are you doing this indifferent?"
"Yes, girl Yan! My father accepted you as a baby apprentice, I don't know how happy he is! Haha!" Qi Ao said with a smile.
"Sister Mu Han, knowing you is the luckiest thing in my life!" Qi Yuchan said seriously with a small face.
"Come on, let's have a drink together! It's a reunion wine for the New Year!" Xiao Yuesheng raised his glass and said. He knew that Qi Ying and Qi Ao stood firmly in the camp of the Xiao Prince's Mansion at the beginning because of Xiao Xinghan's strength, and from the perspective of interests. But they truly recognized Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan because they appreciated Mu Yan's character. Mu Yan's goodness towards Qi Yuchan is also one of the important reasons.
Mu Yan used warm water instead of wine, and everyone drank a glass together, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.
"Sister Mu Han, these dishes are your favorite dishes I made specifically. Senior Brother Yue told me, would you taste them quickly?" Qi Yuchan said to Mu Yan with bright eyes.
Mu Yan picked up the chopsticks, tasted every dish, and nodded seriously and said, "Xiaoyu, it would be so blessed if anyone married you!"
Qi Ying and Qi Ao laughed in unison and said, "No hurry!"
Mu Yan gave Xiao Yuesheng a look that "the revolution has not been successful yet, and comrades still need to work hard", and Xiao Yuesheng returned a look that "Don't worry, your brother can do it"...
After eating almost the same food, Qi Yuchan stood up and said, "There is still a pot of soup warmed on the stove. I'll bring it over."
"I'll go." Xiao Yuesheng got up and went out before he finished speaking, and Qi Yuchan sat back.
Soon, Xiao Yuesheng came in with a cup of steaming soup, and then personally served a small bowl for everyone, saying that the delicacies in the soup were picked by him and Qi Yuchan in the back mountain. It was very fresh and let everyone taste it, especially Mu Yan, who must drink more.
Mu Yan tasted it, and it was indeed delicious. She drank half a bowl before putting down the spoon, and Xiao Xinghan also drank half a bowl.
The family dinner was over and everyone dispersed. Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan washed up briefly, then went to bed to rest.
When it was late at night, several figures quietly approached the main courtyard of the Prince Xiao’s Mansion and stopped at the door of Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan’s room.
Soon, a light was lit in the study room of the main courtyard of the King Xiao’s mansion, and there was no one in the bedroom next door.
Xiao Xinghan sat behind the desk with a calm expression, while opposite him was Qi Ying, and Mu Lin was next to him.
"Yuesheng, I still think that you can discuss it with Xinghan and Yan's girl." Qi Ying said with a serious expression as he looked at "Xiao Xinghan".
"Xiao Xinghan" spoke: "I discussed with Xinghan, but he disagreed." It was Xiao Yuesheng's voice.
After Xiao Xinghan came back, this was the first time that Xiao Yuesheng pretended to be Xiao Xinghan. He had countless experiences in the past, and his disguise skills were already superb. Now he could completely distort the truth and could not see any flaws in his words and deeds.
On the second day after Xiao Xinghan returned, Xiao Yuesheng discussed with Xiao Xinghan seriously and asked Xiao Xinghan to take Mu Yan to the place where Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan are now. Because Xiao Xinghan's martial arts have not yet been achieved, and Mu Yan is pregnant again, the people who have been dealing with Xiao Xinghan in the dark will appear sooner or later. Xiao Yuesheng is afraid that Mu Yan will be hurt by then, and he does not want to disassemble Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan at this time, so he hopes that the couple will leave together and hand over the Xiao Prince's Mansion to him, so that he can deal with the next situation.
But Xiao Xinghan refused without hesitation. He said that he would not be separated from Mu Yan at this time, so if there is any accident, he would send Mu Yan to the Xiao family's medicine warehouse to hide, and he did not need Xiao Yuesheng to shelter him from the wind and rain, and he could face everything that followed by himself.
In this way, Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan stayed in the Xiao Palace, but Xiao Yuesheng always felt a little uneasy and thought that Mu Yan was the safest to leave the Xiao Palace.
So, Xiao Yuesheng avoided Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan and went to find Qi Ying and Mu Lin. Mu Lin was actually the same as Xiao Yuesheng. He also advised Mu Yan to let Mu Yan go, but Mu Yan disagreed. Xiao Yuesheng successfully convinced Qi Ying and they plotted to formulate a plan to send Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan away from Leiyang City safely, and Qi Yuchan also left together.
Qi Ao was also aware of the situation, and he was arranged by Qi Ying to take the Sword Dragon Guard to escort Xiao Xinghan, Mu Yan and Qi Yuchan from the secret passage.
Qi Yuchan was kept in the dark. At the family banquet, Xiao Yuesheng took the initiative to rush to serve the last soup just to give medicine to the soup. He was given a colorless and odorless and harmless mental medicine. The medicine lasted for a long time and was enough to send them away from Leiyang City.
It is not easy to get Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan, two people who are proficient in medicine, to get caught, but they did not take any precautions when they were eating at home. Second, in order to make a perfect medicine, Xiao Yuesheng has not closed his eyes for several days and nights. He went to the Xiao Family Tibetan Medicine Deposit several times and used many rare medicinal materials.
At this moment, Xiao Xinghan, Mu Yan and Qi Yuchan were already asleep and were taken away from the Xiao Prince's Mansion, and Xiao Yuesheng once again became "Xiao Xinghan".
Qi Ying looked at Xiao Yuesheng and sighed slightly and said, "I will do my best to help you. You two must take care of yourself. You are the brothers of Xinghan and Yan Yatou. They don't want you to block the sword for them. If something happens to you, they won't be able to have a good time."
"Yes, my sister always says not to let me just think about protecting her, but in fact I have said I want to protect her countless times, and I have never really done it." Mu Lin smiled bitterly, "This time, just be like my willfulness as my brother. I don't want anything to happen to her. If the Xiao Mansion is not safe, she should leave."
Xiao Yuesheng smiled: "Maybe you all think I have done a lot for Xinghan. After all, I am the real bloodline of the Xiao family. To some extent, he occupied my position, but for me, Xinghan and his younger brothers and sisters brought me home, and they gave me a lot of warmth. They called me brother, of course I have to protect them. Grandpa Qi is worried, I cherish my life very much, and I am still waiting to marry a wife and have a baby!"
"Haha, boy Yue, you don't look like your grandfather or your father, but you're better than them!" Qi Ying looked at Xiao Yuesheng with a look of relief.
The next day is February fifteenth.
When leaving the Sifang City of Dongyang Kingdom, Xiao Xinghan had already sent a letter to Dongfang Ziyu and Lian Jin, asking them to cancel the original action and no longer need to issue an order to announce the delivery of Dongyang Kingdom and Beimo Kingdom to Tianli Kingdom.
The world will be united after a long period of separation. Now, the Three Kingdoms cannot start another war for some reason. It is only a matter of time when the world will be unified. After Xiao Xinghan rescued Mu Yan, he no longer planned to unify the world according to Yin Jian's requirements, because this was not what he wanted.
Xiao Yuesheng did not go to the palace to attend court that day. The officials of Tianli Kingdom had long been used to their emperors attending courts from time to time. Anyway, the government affairs were handled perfectly by Xiao Yuesheng. As for whether he went to the palace or not, he was just a formality.
Opposite the Xiao Family Hospital in Leiyang City is a restaurant, with the windows on the street on the second floor of the restaurant.
"Jin Liancheng, is Xiao Xinghan really as strong as you said?" Li Yue glanced at the sign of the Xiao Family Hospital, withdrew her gaze, and looked at Jin Liancheng and asked.
Jin Liancheng disguised himself and was wearing a wide cloak, covering his missing left arm. However, Li Yue and his follower Wu Fang did not have any disguise. When Li Yue entered the city, his beauty attracted many people's attention.
Hearing Li Yue’s question, Jin Liancheng smiled slightly: “Several years ago, Xiao Xinghan was already a famous young miracle doctor in the world. As for his strength, Lord Li doesn’t believe me, you can ask for information at will. As far as I know, Xiao Xinghan encountered problems in practicing martial arts, and his strength was greatly damaged, so it should be caused by Yin Jian. But with his talent, in time, he will definitely be a top master. There are many people in the world who slander him, but more people are afraid of him, and everyone will admit his strength.”
"Including you? You are just trying to let me take him away as soon as possible." Li Yue said coldly at Jin Liancheng.
"Mr. Li said this." Jin Liancheng nodded slightly, "But I want to remind Master Li that Xiao Xinghan is not like me, and he may not be willing to follow Master Li to return to Tianming Kingdom to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors."
"Then what do you think I should do?" Li Yue looked at Jin Liancheng and asked.
"There is only one way to let Xiao Xinghan completely cut off the ties with this side." A faint light flashed in Jin Liancheng's eyes.
"For example, did you kill his favorite wife?" Li Yue looked at Jin Liancheng and asked.
Jin Liancheng's expression froze: "Of course not! I believe Lord Li will not kill innocent people indiscriminately. I suggest Lord Li use some medicine for Xiao Xinghan that can make him lose his memory, forget the past, return to Tianming Kingdom without any concern, and become the prince of Tianming Kingdom."
"Your proposal is feasible, but if you do that, it will be natural for me to return to the prince of Tianming Kingdom. You don't have to forget your experience here. There will be a chance to use it one day in the future." Li Yue said indifferently.
Jin Liancheng instantly understood the hidden meaning in Li Yue's words. This was to let Xiao Xinghan return to Tianming Kingdom, and return here one day in the future and turn this land into the territory of Tianming Kingdom...
"Haha, it seems that Lord Li has a way to get Prince Ming back to his country, and I'm looking forward to it." Jin Liancheng smiled in his eyes. He really hoped that Li Yue could give Xiao Xinghan some amnesia medicine, so that Xiao Xinghan could really separate from Mu Yan.
"Tonight, I will go to see Xiao Xinghan. I will know if he is the prince of my Tianming Kingdom." Li Yue said, and then looked at the Xiao Family Hospital opposite.
It was night, when everything was silent, two figures approached the Xiao Palace. And behind them, there was a person not far or near.
The two in front were Li Yue and Wu Fang, and the one behind was Jin Liancheng. Because Jin Liancheng didn't want Mu Yan to collude with Li Yue, he wanted to see with his own eyes how Li Yue would take Xiao Xinghan away, so he followed behind.
The Xiao Mansion has a formation to protect it, but this obviously cannot stop Li Yue. He led Wu Fang and quickly broke the formation and entered the Xiao Mansion.
It was as quiet as if there was no one in King Xiao’s mansion.
