The Duke of Argyll did not know all this at the time.

He solved the traitors, put down the rebellion, and regained his authority. Naturally, he thought that the wound on his abdomen would be healed quickly, just like this farce. But he never thought that the wound would start to get worse.

It was not the corruption he was familiar with. On the contrary, the wound was getting hotter and hotter, purifying the cold air that belonged to him little by little. Finally, from the depths of the opened flesh, dazzling sunlight shone out, so hot that it seemed to burn his body. His bones melted together, and he knew he had encountered something beyond his power.

At that time, the turmoil in the family seemed to have calmed down, but underneath there was a turbulent undercurrent. He could only wrap up his abdomen with layers of white cloth like a mummy to prevent the prairie fire from spreading, and then quietly inquire about the old land while cleaning up the old land. Follow the traitor's whereabouts before he hurt him.

——That person went to China, that faraway, vast and mysterious ancient eastern country.

To untie the bell, one must tie the bell. He knew that he had to go to that place to see what had hurt him, but he had no confidence in whether this trip would be good or bad.

So he had no choice but to force himself to speed up the pace of rectification, pass on the power in his hands to the most outstanding young man in the next generation, force himself to clear the obstacles with him despite his injuries, and then use the excuse of needing to re-understand the world after sleeping for a thousand years, Left the castle alone.

He vaguely knew that the thing that could hurt him so badly was probably something related to the sun god, but there was no Apollo in the east, so he could only endure the light and heat of the wound, studying and searching at the same time.

He went to the Palace Museum, saw the sundial, went to the Hemudu ruins, saw the twin phoenixes rising to the sun, went to the Mawangdui Han Tomb, saw the sun pattern in the silk paintings, went to Dunhuang, and saw the beauty of the Buddhist temple. Flying...

He went to many places and saw many cultural relics related to the sun. The colorful history and culture of this land fascinated him, but also made him anxious. Various and complicated images occupied his brain, making him unable to You can't focus on your wounds and find a way to heal.

Until one day, a tour guide told him that if he really wanted to understand the sun god in the East, of course he should go to Sanxingdui to see the sun worship in ancient Shu, or the worship of the sun god bird.

Sun Bird! Argyle suddenly remembered that the first moment after he woke up from the coffin, he seemed to really hear a bird song.

He immediately rushed to Chengdu. This time, he finally found the right direction.

He stood in the Jinsha Ruins Museum, leaning over the sun bird gold ornament, and the burning sensation in his abdomen flowed to his limbs. Rich in appearance and expressive in carving, this late Shang gold product is impeccably perfect. The sunlight happened to pass through the museum dome designed inspired by this cultural relic at this moment. Around him, the huge curved wall cast the dancing light and shadow of the sun bird. He couldn't help but take a few steps back, feeling that the whole world was like a bright fireball, spinning in front of him, and he lost consciousness in the intertwining of hope and despair.

When he woke up again, he was already in Guan Zihe's castle. The woman took off all his clothes and said expressionlessly that if he wanted to survive, just stay.

Do you have any idea? He looked at the young woman with only suspicion. But she only used three short sentences to retain herself - wounds caused by the sun must be healed by moonlight, leave or leave as you wish.

No one had ever spoken to him like this before, and it was still when he was naked, and the wound was not healing for a long time, so he could only stay.

The first month was a torment without any solution. Although this was also an old castle, the weather in Xia City was completely different from the old castle in the forest that he was used to. It was humid and hot, and the smell of the sea breeze made him rust. He prayed every day that the injury would be cured quickly and leave early, but the injury happened to be severe - he was the messenger of the dark night, and the hidden weapon that injured him possessed the purest power of the sun, so the situation was very bad.

But a month later, everything completely turned around. The injury healed quickly, but he didn't want to leave because of the still indifferent female doctor and the curiosity and temptation hidden in her eyes.

He began to deliberately close the distance with Guan Zihe. At first, he had selfish motives. He wanted to kidnap this female doctor with amazing medical skills back to the country to add a layer of insurance to his life. But gradually, this deliberateness changed and he No longer satisfied with the relationship between doctor and patient, the person with curiosity and temptation became him.

So he lived here for half a year, until Guan Zihe pushed him outside the castle door and closed the heavy door himself.

Of course he could push the door open, but the man who brought him to the castle told him that it was all in vain if he could push the door open but not untie the knot.

What knot does she have?

She is a descendant of Zhi Nu, a hundred-year-old wolf turned into a woman, named Zhi Nu. She looked like a beautiful woman. She sat on the street and told her husband, "I have no parents or brothers." If the husband takes her as his wife, she will become a cannibal over the years.

Just a legend.

When she was a child, she saw this scene happen with her own eyes.

Argyle was stunned for a moment and looked again at the heavy door that was closed behind him.

——I will come back.

——We are waiting for you.

The memory came to an abrupt end, and the plane flew into the sky at that moment. The Duke of Argyll looked at the increasingly smaller castle outside the window, thinking of another castle that had been lingering in his memory, and a winning smile appeared on his lips.

This time, it was you who called me back.

At this moment, Qin Jian was also heading to his destination.

When he sat in the car driven by Fan Yu and drove towards another hotel not far away where he had just decided to stay, he did not expect that he had deceived He Si, persuaded Xiao Jiu, and intimidated Fan Yu, but standing there However, the figure downstairs was still seen by a person, and that person was now standing in front of He Si - it was Deng Chensha who had been rescued by them from an unknown person not long ago.

Coincidentally, he just went to the terrace to smoke a cigarette, but unexpectedly, he saw that always arrogant man and did not dare to go upstairs. He left the hotel in disgrace. After dusting off the cigarette ashes and watching the desolate figure leave, Deng Chensha felt happy in her heart. When she returned to the corridor, she met He Si again. Looking at her unhappy look, she knew that her guess was correct. The two must have had a quarrel.

Originally, the love between the two of them was a perfect match, but coupled with his uncle's warning, he really didn't have the capital or ability to get involved, so he was ready to give up. But at that critical moment that night, it was He Si who happened to save him, which made his heart that was about to give up shake again. In addition, there was a rift between the two of them. It was really God who helped me, Deng Chensha thought, with a warm smile on his face. bloom.

But this smile had a completely different meaning in He Si's eyes. She looked at the person deliberately blocking the middle of the corridor, and when she thought of the recent bloodbath caused by this person in the news, she couldn't help but frown.

After taking a few steps closer, Deng Chensha still had no intention of getting out of the way, so she had no choice but to say hello in a neutral tone: "Mr. Deng recovered quite quickly."

"Thanks to Miss He," Deng Chensha asked tentatively, her eyes full of attentiveness but still unable to hide the evil intentions. She looked like a villain who had succeeded, "Miss He seems to be in a bad mood. Did you have a quarrel?"

"Quarrel?" He Si didn't know the intention of the person in front of her, and her brows furrowed even more. But this expression in Deng Chensha's eyes made him firmer in his judgment - He Si had a fight with his boyfriend who embroidered pillows, and it was a good opportunity for him to act as a close friend and take advantage of it. Thinking of this , Deng Chensha explained smartly: "Nothing else, I was smoking on the terrace just now, and I happened to see Qin Jian call back and leave. When I came back, I saw you still holding the phone..."

"Qin Jian?" He Si interrupted him rudely, "Have you seen Qin Jian?"

"Yeah, weren't you talking to him on the phone just now?" He Si's surprised expression didn't seem to be fake. Deng Chensha also became confused and began to rethink his judgment as to what went wrong.

But before he could think about it, He Si asked again: "Is he downstairs?"

"Yes, I was still here just now, but I've already left." He Si's question didn't seem to be fake, and Deng Chensha also lost the confidence he had at the beginning and became confused.

"Xiaojiu," He Si stopped paying attention to the confused man in front of her and shouted twice to herself, "Xiaojiu."

After shouting twice, no familiar black shadow came. He Si knew something in her mind. Her voice became deeper, but her tone became majestic, and she shouted again: "Xiao Jiu."

This time, Xiao Jiu didn't dare to hide anymore. He rushed in from the terrace and grabbed a handful of Deng Chensha's hair as if to vent his anger. The black wings were filled with light, hugging the gradually melting sunset outside the window, and stopped in He Si's palm.

"Qin Jian is here?"

Xiaojiu was speechless and could only nodded.

"Then why didn't you tell me?"

The small head tilted from side to side, pretending not to understand He Si's words, and still kept the little secret between Qin Jian and Qin Jian with loyalty, but He Si had already guessed: "He asked you to hide it from me? Whose Xiaojiu are you?"

"Chirp." The dark eyes were closed, and the furry head was rubbed in He Si's palm, which was considered as a plea for peace.

"Hmph," He Si pretended to make a nasal sound, and then asked anxiously, "Why...why doesn't he come up? Is he okay?"

"Gee." Xiao Jiu nodded happily, glanced at Deng Chensha with disgust, jumped on He Si's shoulder, leaned close to her ear, and finally whispered, "He's afraid of disturbing you."

He Si understood it. It turned out that when she told him that she had something to do tonight, he was already downstairs. But in order not to make herself feel guilty, he had to excuse himself and said that he was still at the airport. He came with full expectations and left lonely. I originally wanted to give myself a surprise.

Deng Chensha looked at He Si's changing expression and felt that he had lost again, but he couldn't figure out what happened. Thinking about it, a young man like him has always only had girls coaxing him, but he has never really thought about others. Naturally, he didn't know what happened, so he simply asked: "What's going on? He secretly came to see you without telling you." He left again after just one glance? Then why are you in such a bad mood? "

He Si was too lazy to talk to him, but when she thought of how he was gloating about his misfortune, she couldn't help but said: "You guessed it right, I was on the phone with Qin Jian just now, and I was indeed in a bad mood, but not Because of a quarrel. We originally made an appointment to have dinner together today, but because of project matters, I had to let him go temporarily, but Qin Jian told me not to worry about it, because he was still at Xiacheng Airport and there was no time to have dinner with me. . So I was very surprised when I heard that Qin Jian had just appeared downstairs. Unfortunately, the reason was completely different from what Mr. Deng thought. I wonder if Mr. Deng has anything else to know? "

Unexpectedly, it would be such an answer. Deng Chensha was also stunned. He was still making up a few words to discredit Qin Jian. For example, it was too difficult to guess this man's thoughts or maybe he had watched too many idol dramas about his mother-in-law, but why? Behind Si, a familiar figure that he didn't dare to offend appeared.

"Ahem." The owner of the figure coughed twice to remind the two of his presence, but He Si's body froze. Before she saw anyone, she heard Deng Chensha shouting behind her: "Mr. Li."

"Professor, why are you here?" He Si turned around with both hands and feet, stumbling to say hello to her teacher. Thinking that what she just said must have been heard over and over again by this unsmiling old professor, her head exploded with a bang, and the blush spread from her face to her neck.

"Why am I here? Who are you going to report the progress to if I don't come?"

There was no emotion or anger in the professor's words. He Si knew that she had said something stupid, and while greeting Deng Chensha in her heart, she lowered her head lower.

"Let's go, finish talking early, and be in time for dinner."

"Yes." He Si responded slowly and followed Professor Li's footsteps to the conference room.

But who would have thought that the serious figure walking in front suddenly added: "That boy, you can't tell. If I had half of his abilities when I was young, you would have a master wife now."

"Eh?" The topic suddenly changed. He Si was stunned for a moment before she heard the teasing tone in the professor's tone. Her face was so hot that it seemed like steam would evaporate, and she was still muttering in her heart - Qin Jian is not a young man. He is a fairy who has lived for thousands of years, and he has many tricks in the city.

Before He Si finished muttering, Professor Li spoke again: "I have always told you to focus on the project, but now that I think about it, it is not correct. Involution and internal friction will only lead to cheaper and cheaper labor, and you young people will It’s time to try other things while you still have time, and maybe you can open up a new situation in society. If only work is left in life, it would be too boring.”

"I still have to focus on academics like the teacher." He Si didn't know whether Professor Li's words were true or not, so she quickly expressed her sincerity.

"Hey, don't fool me. I've been with young people like you for a long time, and my mind has changed a long time ago. Now I just want to have a sunset," Professor Li looked at He Si half-jokingly and asked, "Do you want to call me back first and then have the meeting?"

He Si waved her hands quickly: "No, I'll make a call after the meeting."

Professor Li, who was walking in front, turned around and glanced at He Si and Deng Chensha behind her, and said, "Just don't forget."

"Yes." He Si lowered her head and slipped past him into the conference room.

"Damn it." Deng Chensha cursed lowly as he watched the two people disappear into the conference room.

It was a futile attempt to draw water from a bamboo basket, but what he just did was completely an assist for Qin Jian. His wish to get close to He Si was completely in vain, and he felt very depressed.
