red wheel

Chapter 266
At night, a street in the imperial capital.

Xiao Yun left the private house and just walked out of Santiao Street.

Suddenly, with a whoosh sound, an arrow feather shot out instantly!
Xiao Yun frowned instantly, and stepped aside.

However, it was obvious that the arrow feather was not aimed at Xiao Yun!

Because the position where the arrow feather shot was three or four people wide away from Xiao Yun's position just now.

Xiao Yun took a closer look and saw that there was a piece of letter paper tied to the body of the arrow.

Immediately, he looked around and shouted: "Who is coming? Sneaky, hiding his head and showing his tail. Since you have something to ask me, then stand upright!"

From far away, a man's voice came: "Xiao Yun, my master knows your martial arts are strong. He specially ordered us not to fight you."

"Xiao Yun, as long as you read the letter, you will know why you are here."

"My master said that she doesn't want to implicate more people. But if you don't go to the appointment according to the location in the letter. Instead, you go to a place you shouldn't go and disturb people who shouldn't be disturbed. Then this matter I'm afraid you can't bear the consequences."

The sound fell, and Xiao Yun followed the direction of the sound, and when he flew towards him, the person was nowhere to be seen, only the man who was pretending vigorously had already galloped away.

Xiao Yun's eyes froze instantly, with a murderous look, who is this?
After a while, he turned his head and flew back to the arrow feather.

Looking at the arrow feather, he hesitated for a moment before taking it off.

When I opened it, the hand holding the letter trembled instantly!Instant pain in the eyes!

I saw two identical jade plaques painted on the letter paper. No, the difference was that under the four characters of peace and joy, one was written with the characters of Peng and the other with the characters of Xiao.

Xiao Yun sighed deeply, and smiled wryly... In this world, after all, there are no eternal secrets.

After a while, I looked down at the letter paper again, and saw the words under the jade plaque: Donghuai River Plum and Bamboo Painting Boat.

At this moment, Xiao Yun has hesitation in his eyes, should he go?
······
Night, by the Donghuai River.

At this moment, the lights are still bright, and there are many painted boats floating on the river.

In a dark place in the distance, Xiao Yun stared at the plum and bamboo painting boat on the river with deep thought in his eyes.

I saw that painting boat, like other painting boats, swimming quietly in the river, under the light of candlelight, several figures in the painting boat could be seen.

At this moment, Xiao Yun was staring at the painting boat with hesitation and a hint of timidity in his eyes.

After a long time, he finally turned around and left.

However, long after Xiao Yun left, a person also left quietly in the distance, heading towards the direction of Yunxiang Restaurant.

·······
It's late at night, Wu'an Hou Mansion.

At the back door of the Hou's Mansion, a black shadow flew in at a very high speed. The black figure was inconspicuous in the dark night, and its extremely fast movement was also sprinting around the Hou's Mansion. There was confidence in the black shadow's eyes.

for a long time.

Hei Ying came to a side room, walked gently to the door, and knocked lightly on the door, but there was no movement in the side room.

After a long time, the black shadow knocked on the door again, but there was still no movement in the wing room.With doubts in Hei Ying's eyes, he pushed open the door!
Suddenly, the candles in the wing room lit up, instantly illuminating everything in the wing room!
Mo Yi and Xiao Jinxi sat beside the table in the wing room.

An Xue and Qing Yu just lit the candles, and walked to Xiao Jinxi and Mo Yi's side to wait.

On the bed, Xia Han sat up, stretched her waist, and said, "Miss, it's really difficult to imitate the old man's sleeping breathing."

An Xue smiled: "Xia Han, at night, you are the only one who has a bed to lie on, and you still have so many demands!"

Xia Hanhe... hehe smiled: "Don't dare, don't dare."

And Xiao Jinxi and Mo Yi just drank tea quietly.

Mo Yi picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and said, "Xi'er, it's so late at night, are you hungry? Come, eat a piece."

"Okay, I'm a little hungry." Xiao Jinxi smiled, took the cake and ate it.

And Xiao Yun, looking at the scene in front of him, his face was completely dark, and he shouted: "Xiao Jinxi, where did you hide my mother?"

Xiao Jinxi turned a blind eye to it, and still ate the cake with a smile.

Xiao Yun looked at this scene with anger and murderous intent in his eyes, and his hands were clenched tightly!

Mo Yi's eyes froze instantly, and he said coldly: "Xiao Yun, put away your murderous aura. Otherwise, I will kill you right away, are you trustworthy?"

At this moment, Xiao Jinxi smiled and said, "Mo Yi, don't be angry. It's normal for him to be angry after traveling so many places at night."

Mo Yi smiled: "Alright, listen to Xi'er."

After a while, Xiao Jinxi smiled and continued: "Xiao Yun, I know your martial arts are strong, but I never thought of fighting with you."

"As for me, I cherish my life very much! I am not willing to let Mo Yi, or these people around me, take the risk to fight with you!"

"It's late at night, what's the fight? You see, there are only a few of us in these four weeks. You can rest assured that if you want to leave, I won't stop you."

After a while, Xiao Yun suppressed his anger and said, "You already knew that I would not go to the appointment, so you are waiting here for me?"

Xiao Jinxi shook her head, "No, Xiao Yun, I know you've almost returned to the imperial capital. I've always prepared this boat for you."

"I'm also hoping that you can go. I want to have a good chat with you, and I want to know what's going on with you for 40 years?"

"But you didn't dare to set foot on that boat after all. Maybe you were lucky and hoped that the sender didn't know much. Because you know that your mother couldn't bear to put you in danger."

"But you are still worried about your mother. So, you came to this Marquis of Wu'an Mansion, and to this Fu'an Hall."

"Seeing how you are so familiar with the road, I think you must have visited your mother secretly in those years."

After a while, Xiao Jinxi finally sighed helplessly, and said, "Xiao Yun, your mother is fine, she's fine."

Hearing this, Xiao Yun's clenched hands were instantly released, and the murderous look in his eyes slowly disappeared.

After a while, he just said, "Then what exactly do you want to come to me tonight?"

Xiao Jinxi smiled and said, "Xiao Yun, I just said it. I want to know what happened in the past 40 years?"

Xiao Yun's face darkened: "Since you know my identity, you naturally asked my mother. I have already told my mother about those years."

Xiao Jinxi shook her head, but for a moment, she looked at the table by the window.

Said: "Xiao Yun, do you know what's in that wooden box?"

When Xiao Yun heard this, he looked at the wooden box for a moment, but he didn't move.

Xiao Jinxi shook his head and smiled, "Why? You Xiao Yun's martial arts are so high that you can kill someone in an instant. Now, you don't even have the courage to look at a box?"

"Xiao Yun, go and have a look. It's something your mother has prepared for you over the years. You should know."

After a while, Xiao Yun finally stepped forward and opened the wooden box.Looking at the colorful ropes of different ages in the wooden box, touching those colorful ropes, my hands trembled and my eyes were red.

Xiao Jinxi said: "Xiao Yun, there are a total of forty colorful ropes in there. Since the year you lost, your mother has helped you keep them year after year."

"Later, you met again. It should have been a happy thing."

"But after so many years, your mother still hasn't given away these colorful ropes."

"Just because you said that your current status is special and you cannot reveal it at will, otherwise your life will be at stake."

"That's why she suppressed her loving heart just now. She still continues to prepare colorful ropes for you every year, but she silently puts them away."

Xiao Yun stared at those multicolored ropes, could not bear it in his eyes, and smiled wryly, but in the end he closed the wooden box with a snap, turned and left.
