Lady Wan Guan

As Shangguan Zhaoyang walked, he realized that he was standing in front of Jiang's house.

That's right, ask Mrs. Jiang to analyze it. Mrs. Jiang will definitely not laugh at him.

Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door creaked open. Jiang Shi was pleasantly surprised: "Xiao Langjun, you haven't been here for a while. Come in quickly."

Shangguan Zhaoyang came in: "Brother Jiang, is Mrs. Jiang at home?"

"She's not here. She's on a medical trip. She said she'll be there for more than ten days. She's famous now, and people come to see her from all over."

Shangguan Zhaoyang was very disappointed: "Brother Jiang, since Madam Jiang is not here, I'd better leave first."

Jiang Shi grabbed him and said, "Why are you walking? It's lunch soon. Let's eat here."

He pulled Shangguan Zhaoyang into the house without any explanation.

When the food and drinks were served, Jiang Shi poured them over to Shangguan Zhaoyang: "Just have one drink. I don't dare ask you to drink more."

Shangguan Zhaoyang raised his head and drank the wine glass to the bottom.

Jiang Shi stared: "Young man, this is not the way to drink. You will get drunk. Do you have something on your mind? If you have something on your mind, just tell me and I will help you find out the details."

Shangguan Zhaoyang glanced at him, took the wine bottle gloomily and poured it out.

Jiang Shi hurriedly stopped him: "Young man, let's have a drink as promised. If my sister finds out that I let you drink, I will be scolded to death by her."

"Xiao Langjun, what kind of trouble have you encountered?"

Shangguan Zhaoyang said: "Brother Jiang, I seem to have seen my brother."

Jiang Shi's eyes were as round as bells: "You...are you evil?"

"That's my brother, what's wrong with you?"

"Yes, yes, it's not Chuoxie, that...when did you see it?"

"Just this morning."

Jiang Shixin said, you can't see ghosts in broad daylight.

"Where did you see it?"

"Just my family, let me tell you..." Shangguan Zhaoyang told Jiang Shi what happened in detail.

"Brother Jiang, do you think my brother is not dead? He is back, but for special reasons he cannot see me?"

Shangguan Zhaoyang didn't react at the time. He only felt that the man's back was very familiar. When he thought about it carefully, he realized that the man in black even used Qing Kung in the same posture as the second brother.

Jiang Shi's mind was in knots. He wondered whether it was because Qiu Wei was approaching and the young man was under so much pressure that he had hallucinations or missed his relatives too much.

But looking at the expectant look in Xiao Langjun's eyes, Jiang Shi couldn't pour the cold water down.

Jiang Shi coughed twice: "Xiao Langjun, have you seen the remains of your second brother with your own eyes?"

"No, no one saw it, just a pair of tattered armor."

Jiang Shi squinted his eyes and touched his chin: "There is no body, only armor, so it cannot be confirmed that your second brother is dead."

"But the news brought back by Brother Ji was said to be from the Dayuan people themselves. My second brother has been slaughtered into a pulp." Shangguan Zhaoyang felt his heart ache when he said the word "meat."

"Hey... Dayuan people love to brag. Their words cannot be trusted. Maybe your second brother used a golden cicada to escape from his shell and escaped death."

Shangguan Zhaoyang said anxiously: "Brother Jiang, do you really think so?"

"I mean it's possible. Otherwise, the thief came to your house and happened to enter the room where your second brother lived. He didn't steal anything and ran away. His back looks similar to your second brother's. , it’s hard for people not to doubt it.” Shangguan Zhaoyang said excitedly: “That’s right, that’s what I think.”

Jiang Shi patted his shoulder comfortingly: "Xiao Langjun, let's take a step back and say, that person is your second brother. Have you ever thought about why he doesn't meet you?"

"Any reason?"

"There must be some difficulties. For example, it is inconvenient for him to show up now. Haven't you been trying to find out the truth about Gubei's fiasco?"

Shangguan Zhaoyang was stunned: "Brother Jiang, how did you know about this?"

Jiang Shi sneered: "I'm not stupid. My girl sent out a few capable people. They are so mysterious that I can guess pretty much everything."

Of course he couldn't tell Shangguan Zhaoyang. In fact, it was Uncle Yang who told him. Uncle Yang was also worried about Wan Ning. After all, what Wan Ning was going to do was very risky.

He couldn't interfere, so he could only ignore it and pretend not to know anything.

"So, maybe your second brother is also investigating this matter, secretly investigating."

Shangguan Zhaoyang couldn't help but nodded. Brother Jiang's analysis made sense.

"Besides, you are going to take the exam soon. Maybe your second brother doesn't want to disturb you. You, please stop thinking about it. If your second brother is still alive, he will come to you sooner or later. If he is really gone, then you should fight for your reputation, study hard, be named on the gold medal list, and let the world know that a man from the Shangguan family can bring peace to the world with his literary skills, and can determine the world with his martial arts. There is no bad one."

When Shangguan Zhaoyang heard this, he suddenly realized, yes, why is he bothering with this? If the second elder brother is alive, it will be a surprise. If the second elder brother is gone, hasn't he already accepted this reality?

Shangguan Zhaoyang filled Jiang Shi's cup and filled it for himself. He picked up the wine glass and said, "Brother Jiang, thank you for your forgiveness. I have figured it out. After drinking this glass of wine, I will go back to study."

After that, he drank it all in one gulp.

Jiang Shi laughed and said, "Just figure it out. If you encounter any difficulties or troubles in the future, just come to me."

"Okay, Brother Jiang, I'll leave first." Shangguan Zhaoyang said and left.

"Hey...you haven't eaten yet."

"I'll go home to eat. The food is ready at home." Shangguan Zhaoyang's voice came from outside the house.

Jiang Shi smiled bitterly and shook his head, sighing. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong in giving hope to Xiao Langjun, but seeing that Xiao Langjun was cheering up again, he must have been right. After all, the most important thing now was Qiu Wei.

Jiang Shi took a sip of wine, feeling a little proud of himself. Hey, he didn't know he was so good at forgiving people, and he made the young man scream with encouragement in just a few words.

However, he could handle Xiao Langjun, but he couldn't handle Lin Ruoruo. Lin Ruoruo still ignored him after so long.

In the Hanyuan Hall, Concubine Sun stood aside and opened the handkerchief. Inside was a small bell. She had been in Shu, so she naturally knew what it was and what it was used for.

Concubine Sun's calm eyes gradually became cold, and she clenched the bell in her hand so tightly that the edge of the bell was embedded in her flesh.

After all, they refused to let her go. She had already done so much for Shu.

They won't stop until they squeeze out the last bit of her use value.

But what can she do?

She was already avoiding Princess Lingxi. Lingxi would go to the Royal Garden every afternoon. She knew Lingxi was waiting for her, but she still couldn't escape.

As early as the day the city was destroyed twenty-eight years ago, her fate was already determined, and she would become someone else's puppet throughout her life.

She was tired of it, but she didn't even have the freedom to die.

Concubine Sun took a deep breath, suppressed the grief and anger in her heart, and hid the bell.

She told herself that she must hold on. After reaching this point, she could no longer look back.
