At this time, Xie Feng said to Yu Wenying on the side: "Duke Yuwen, are you still here?"

Yu Wenying stood there without any surprise and said lightly: "Do you want to see my grandfather?"

Xie Feng said: "This time I went back to Central Plains to come back for my grandfather and see these-'old friends'."

When he said this, he was different from the usual steady and restrained style, and his words were somewhat sarcastic.

As I listened by the side, my heart trembled slightly.

这些“故人”.

He really came back to find someone, and he was looking for more than one with the surname Yuwen. As he said just now, his hatred was not the Yuwen family.

Yu Wenying looked up and looked at him. Perhaps because the city had really reached nothing worth losing. He had already fulfilled his duties as "one person and one sword to defend the enemy outside the city". At this time, he seemed a little relaxed and said slowly: "If you want to see him, then go see him with me."

“…”

"Actually, he has been thinking about you for a lot of days."

“…”

His words seemed to be telling something. Xie Feng frowned when he heard it, but Yu Wenying didn't say anything else and turned around and walked towards the other side of the road.

At this time, Xie Feng glanced at Pei Yuanxiu.

Obviously, it is not the same path as Pei Yuanxiu.

Pei Yuanxiu thought about it and ordered the people in the convoy: "Escort Miss Yan and follow Mr. Xie."

The convoy responded immediately: "Yes."

Xie Feng said: "That young master is—"

Pei Yuanxiu said: "I'll go to the government office first to take a look. I'll come to Yuwen's Mansion after that."

"good."

He looked down at Han Zitong again. Han Zitong was obviously prepared for a long time. At this time, he said without waiting for him to ask: "I'll go with you."

“…”

Pei Yuanxiu hesitated for a moment and finally said, "Okay."

Someone immediately led a horse to Han Zitong. After the group of people were decorated, Cui Jiancheng and Song Xuan escorted him to the main road on the other side of the government office. Before leaving, Song Xuan looked back at me, and I nodded to him without any silence.

Then, the carriage followed Yu Wenying away.

Compared to Cangzhou, which had only passed by but had almost never stopped, and the picturesque and poetic cities in Jiangnan, Tianjin gives people the feeling that it is more like the winter in the north we are experiencing at this moment.

Direct and sharp, with a kind of stubbornness that needs no words.

The streets here are clear and square, like scattered scattered, making people see through at a glance, and see clearly. In addition, the white snow has coated everything here with a clear border, which is rarely visited, and the entire Tianjin city is like a huge bonsai.

I just don't know what kind of scenery there will be.

It took me half an hour to walk from the city gate to Yuwen Mansion. Although the wind slowly stopped, the snow was getting heavier and no one cleaned the snow on the road. When I walked down from the stopped carriage, one foot fell into the thick snow as soon as I stepped onto the ground.

The chill suddenly arises.

And I raised my head and saw a quiet mansion in front of me that was completely silent. I don’t know if I had prepared or had always been like this. Even a plaque could not be seen on the gate. Yu Wenying walked forward, and the blood-stained hand pushed open the unlocked door, leaving a vague, blood-red handprint.

I don’t know if it was because of this vague bloody handprint or because the people escorted us were cautious, at this time, a group of people jumped out from behind us and walked to the gate, as if they were ready to resist the attack that rushed out from inside at any time.

However, after the door opened, only a gust of wind blew out with the snow.

Yu Wenying stood at the door, turned her face and smiled coldly at us.

His smile took advantage of the cold snow around him to make the ridicule and contempt. The people around him were somewhat angry, but in the face of such a strange mansion and such a powerful person, there were indeed not many people who could completely relieve themselves.

And at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared inside the door.

Everyone was originally in a panic, and there were soldiers. No matter who appeared, they immediately became alert when they saw someone. The group of guards in the first row pulled out the long swords at their waists with a sound, and the bright sword light suddenly illuminated some dark places inside.

It also illuminated the person who came over.

It turned out to be an old man who was over 70 years old, with gray hair and could not even straighten his waist and back.

He was wearing a white-washed blue cloth jacket, his brown-yellow face was full of wrinkles, as old as dead tree bark. His eyes were muddy and loyal, and he looked at Yu Wenying, who was close to him, and only looked at him with concern: "Young Master is back."

Yu Wenying nodded lightly.

"The young master is injured."

"It's not in the way."

"I'll get medicine for the young master."

"Well, I'll take it to my grandfather's room later."

"yes."

The old man didn't look at us, and turned around and left tremblingly. At this time, I took a step slowly, and Hua Zhu followed me, and walked in front of me with great vigilance.

But Xie Feng is walking in the front.

He stepped into that door in one step.

The guards around him were probably hesitant, and then they heard him say in a deep voice: "You should do whatever you should do, don't worry about me."

When the guards heard this, they immediately walked in from both sides of the gate, and Yu Wenying did not stop them at all. It seemed that after the Tianjin gate opened, all the houses of the common people here did not belong to him. He also allowed these people to break into his home, but there was a hint of pain in his cold eyes.

Xie Feng walked up to him and said, "Take me to see Duke Yuwen."

Yu Wenying glanced at him, said nothing, turned around and walked in.

We all followed them into the door.

As I walked in and looked around, I saw that the old man had just entered the door room. It seemed that he was just an old man guarding the door, but everyone knew that those who had always done this job knew their masters very well and had deep trust, otherwise the door would not be left to such a person to guard.

I thought that these guards would cause some chaos to Yuwen's mansion when they rushed in, but when I walked in, I found that this mansion was like the entire Tianjin City.

Except for Yu Wenying, except for the old man I just saw, there was no one else left.

Although this mansion is quite large - since the Yuwen family has such a power and such a background, it is difficult to not be rich, the spacious mansion is empty, and there is no busy maid or guardian. I followed Xie Feng, and Xie Feng followed Yu Wenying all the way, as if I had walked into a snow-covered wasteland.

However, it is impossible for such a large house to live in only two or three people.

As I walked, I understood.

This place should have been a lively mansion, just like the mansions of every big family I have seen before. However, this time, Tianjin faced a war, and life and death were not decided. Almost all the people in the city were exposed. Naturally, the people in this family were sent away by them. Since Yu Wenying had the determination to fight the enemy outside the city with one sword and force them to death, it would be meaningless to leave so many people behind.

The old man who appeared at the door was probably like the people who were still in this city. Maybe he spent half his life or the whole life in this place, like a big tree. If he wanted to uproot and throw it to another place, there would be only a dead end. It would be better to stay in this place, and life and death are determined.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but sigh softly.

I can understand the state of mind of those who stay; and who can know how helpless and miserable those who leave are now?

As we walked, we walked to the backyard of this mansion, which is where we lived.

A large house appeared in front of me.

You can tell at a glance that the room where the owner lives is not too gorgeous, but it is comfortable and simple, with the most homely atmosphere. However, this is also the quietest place in the entire mansion. A thick layer of snow accumulates on the open space in front of the door, and you can only see one or two rows of shallow footprints coming and going, probably left by Yu Wenying and the old man. The snow was heavy and the footprints were wiped out soon.

Yu Wenying stopped when she stood at the entrance of the park.

We all heard his breathing slightly sinking, and stood at the door and calmed down before we began to walk in.

Xie Feng also stopped for a while and followed.

Just when I was about to walk in, I realized that there was a group of people following me. I thought about it and said, "You don't have to follow in."

The leading one immediately said, "No, Miss Yan, the young master has given us the order, we must protect Miss Yan's safety. I don't know what kind of people they ambushed, if there is any danger-"

"What if there is danger, there is Mr. Xie."

"But--"

"No need, but if there is really any danger that Mr. Xie can't escape, how many of us who come into this mansion can go out alive?"

The man was stunned by what I said, but it was true if I thought about it.

So he could only take a step back: "Then, the little people are waiting for Miss Yan outside. If there is anything wrong, Miss Yan just needs to shout loudly."

I nodded, then turned around and walked in.

At this time, Yu Wenying and Xie Feng had already walked into the room. Before I walked in, I told Hua Zhu to guard the door. After all, I really didn’t know who was inside and what they would talk about. The fewer people in the room, the better.

As soon as I entered this room, I was shocked first.

Although I also know that the Yuwen family has a great financial resources and power, I just saw their mansion gorgeous and spacious, and it would not surprise me that any exquisite and luxurious room appeared in front of me, but this room was surprisingly large. In addition, there was nothing except a few windows on the wall and a huge screen placed in the center of the house, which was almost like a wall.

And that huge screen was also very strange.

The screens of ordinary people are either mountains, rivers, flowers and birds, or pictures of ladies. If they are martial arts practitioners, there may be portraits of war horses or generals on the screens at home.

But the screen was pitch black.

If you are not careful, you may even feel that it is a pitch-black wall.

I have walked through many places and seen many gorgeous and exquisite screens, but I have never seen such a dark screen before. What's the point of making such a screen in the middle of the house?

However, some people seem to find it meaningful.
