Don't go back to hometown

Chapter 32 This Life: The boy who retreated and made a net to imprison him

"Brother, why do we avoid people from Tianxin Mansion?"

On the way back home for the three of them, Jiang Xianyu realized that this was a good opportunity to learn about his life experience, so he pretended to be puzzled and asked Jiang Baizhou.

However, Jiang Baizhou stopped, and looked at Xie Cheng solemnly: "You... just saw the Angel of Heaven, why did you hold Xiao Yu?"

Just now Xie Cheng's reaction was no slower than his, it was hard not to make him wonder if the other party knew something.

Jiang Xianyu's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Xie Cheng nervously.

Xie Cheng knew his life experience in his previous life, he knew it.I'm afraid I was too worried about him just now, so I accidentally showed something strange in front of the eldest brother, and was even suspected by the eldest brother.

Xie Cheng was not panicked, with a puzzled expression on his face, "Why did you ask such a question? I just thought that the Tianxin Envoy appeared suddenly, and I wanted to ask Xiao Yu if he had heard the news recently. After all, he hadn't heard of it before. This year's martial arts competition will have Tianxin Envoy as the examiner."

"Eldest brother first took us to avoid the angel, and then asked this question suddenly, but what's the secret?" Xie Cheng said with an innocent face, Jiang Xianyu almost believed it.

Why are you so good at hitting back!

Jiang Xianyu was dumbfounded.

Jiang Baizhou was also choked by Xie Cheng, his lips parted, but he was unable to speak.

Finally, he pressed the center of his brows and said: "...I'm sorry, I was suspicious."

He glanced at the ignorant Jiang Xianyu, sighed helplessly, and said to Xie Cheng: "This is a family matter of our Jiang family, but you are my younger brother, so you should know...I will talk to Xiaoyu first, Let him tell you."

Jiang Xianyu was slightly surprised, he didn't expect to achieve his goal so easily, and he couldn't help but feel guilty for cheating his brother.

On the other hand, Xie Cheng, the expression on his face changed from doubt to just right solemnity, he glanced at the two of them, and said proactively: "Then I'll go back first."

Jiang Baizhou nodded, and Xie Cheng turned around and left.

Jiang Xianyu: "..."

He suddenly realized that his ability to pretend to be stupid was far inferior to Xie Cheng's one ten thousandth.

He swallowed, recalling his reaction when he learned of his parentage in his previous life, while pulling on Jiang Baizhou's sleeve, his smile was a little forced, "Brother, don't scare me, our family can have some secrets."

Jiang Baizhou looked serious, grabbed his arm and said, "Let's talk about the Escort Bureau."

……

Duan Zhai.

After Xie Cheng came back, he was bored in the room writing big characters - this is his usual method to force himself to concentrate and calm down.

In fact, he was not worried about Jiang Xianyu and Jiang Baizhou leaving to talk about the so-called secret of life experience.

But he had no choice but to wait, and he could only comfort himself: the young man had known about it a long time ago, he would no longer be angry and impulsive, and he would no longer run away...

The tip of the pen stopped suddenly, and Xie Cheng suddenly realized that he had written the word "prisoner" on a whole page.

In his previous life, he could only be a person on the shore standing by the abyss, and died in remorse; in this life, he was unwilling to do so, so he retreated to form a net, wanting to center himself and draw the ground as a prison——

imprisoned his boy.

But I didn’t hold back the strokes when I wrote this brush just now, and it has already exceeded the limit of the prison. Even if I add the last "horizontal", it will not be able to trap this "person".

He forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath and let it out slowly, put down his pen, rolled up the whole piece of rice paper with the word "prison" written on it, and threw it into the wastebasket.

knock --

"Xie Cheng, are you inside?"

Xie Cheng suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and the corners of his tightly pursed lips relaxed, "Yes."

Jiang Xianyu pushed the door open and came in, closed the door before walking towards Xie Cheng, "You were too good at acting just now, you completely fooled my brother."

Xie Cheng smiled, and poured him a cup of tea, "Eldest senior brother told you?"

"En." Jiang Xianyu took the teacup, sat on the edge of Xie Cheng's desk, and took a sip of the tea with downcast eyes.

Xie Cheng raised his hand and patted his head, "Don't be afraid."

Jiang Xianyu's nose suddenly turned sore, and his throat choked.

Hearing about his life experience and family feud again, he was actually not as relaxed as he appeared on the surface, but he still smiled, "It doesn't matter, anyway, it's not the first time I know."

The most shocking, uncomfortable and overwhelmed time is over.

"Don't say that." Xie Cheng held his face with one hand, gentle and solemn, "If it were me, I would find it hard to accept, and I would feel unwilling, and even harbor resentment."

Xie Cheng caressed Jiang Xianyu's face, and asked cautiously: "Did you leave because of this in the previous life?"

Jiang Xianyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, he grabbed Xie Cheng's hand, took it off his face and held it with both hands, avoiding the question, "When did you... know my life experience?"

Xie Cheng took his evasion as acquiescence, and didn't ask any more questions, but answered his question.

"In my previous life, I won Xie Yuan, and was appreciated by the governor at the Luming Banquet. I found out later that he was recruiting someone who could be used by the Nine Kings."

"?"

The topic jumped a little fast, but Jiang Xianyu knew that Xie Cheng would not bring up this matter for no reason, so he guessed along the words: "So you got on the line of the Nine Kings at that time?"

Xie Cheng shook his head: "I refused."

"Why?"

Xie Cheng lowered his eyes and looked at the hands they were holding, "Because he told me a secret in order to attract me."

"?"

"Twenty years ago, the commander of the Tianxin Mansion ordered Jiang Weifeng to poison and murder the Holy Majesty. His whole family was imprisoned and all his families were executed. But the governor told me that apart from the Queen Mother Jiang and the little prince in the palace, there are actually descendants of the Jiang family who escaped." Birth day."

Jiang Xianyu was startled, and looked at him in surprise.

He originally thought that in his previous life, his family told Xie Cheng about his life experience after he left home.But I don't know that Xie Cheng knew the secret at that time.

Xie Cheng took a deep breath before continuing: "That's when I realized why you suddenly asked me if I was a good emperor today; and why you suddenly repented and refused to take the martial arts exam."

He held Jiang Xianyu's hand tightly, and his voice trembled slightly: "I'm sorry, I took your confession and asking for help as self-willed, and I couldn't comfort you."

It was only later that he realized that in the quarrel in the previous life, it was the lost boy who was confiding to him, asking him for help, asking him to hold his hand and guide him in the direction.

But he didn't understand at that time, and he shook off the boy's hand.

... and lost him.

Jiang Xianyu shook his head, and lowered his head to caress the almost disappearing scar on the phalanx of Xie Cheng's hand, "It's my fault, I shouldn't lose my temper at you and say those willful and hurtful words."

Xie Cheng gently pulled him into his arms and hugged him, "The Governor said that the Jiang family was innocent, and that the Nine Kings intended to rehabilitate the Jiang family. But I was not sure at the time whether you and Master and Mistress were willing to break the peaceful life and to A clean result."

"So I'm going back to find you—"

Xie Cheng suddenly stopped and didn't say any more, but the hand holding Jiang Xianyu tightened a bit.

Jiang Xianyu closed his eyes in pain, and hugged him back.

"...I'm sorry," he said.

He knew best that when Xie Cheng returned to Yangzhou from Jinling, all he got was the news that he had run away from home.

And the letter he left behind was not successfully delivered to Xie Cheng.

So they separated for several years, separated by life and death.
