Chapter 23 Reunion 3 I followed her towards the ancestral hall with the urn in my arms.
The moon was as cold as water, shining on this large mansion, making it look increasingly empty, lonely and lonely.
We were in the backyard of Tianfu, very close to the ancestral hall.
No one had walked on the road for a long time.
Many weeds and wild flowers grew in the gaps between the green bricks.
A faint fragrance floated in the night sky, and the gentle breeze made me nervous.
My mood gradually relaxed, and I walked dozens of steps along the moss-covered road before arriving in front of the ancestral hall.
There is no seal on the door of the ancestral hall, probably because it has been blown off by the wind for too long.
We pushed the door open and walked in.
A cold wind blew in our face, making me shiver.
Yaoru took out the flint and lit the candles in the ancestral hall.
The tablets of the ancestors of the Tian family were enshrined here.
I placed the urn according to the position she designated.
Yaoru knelt down on her knees and said sadly: "My mother has brought you back."
She choked up and could not speak.
I was about to persuade her to leave when the candlelight suddenly flickered violently, and a strong murderous aura came towards us.
I quickly drew out the long knife and instinctively blocked it behind me.
With a harsh sound of metal colliding, a strong force came along the blade.
I felt severe pain in the tiger's mouth, and the long knife flew out of my hand.
The cold blade was already lying across the back of my neck, and I was extremely frustrated.
The sword skills I had practiced for many days were so vulnerable to my opponent.
Yao Ru gave a sweet cry, but before she could turn around, a ruthless voice behind her said: "Stand there honestly, or I will kill him with one knife."
This voice was somewhat familiar to me, I struggled.
Meditating, suffering from the blade on my neck, my mind became empty at this moment.
"You are Tian Yulin" "No," I replied calmly.
The Tian Yulin he mentioned was Yaoru's brother.
The opponent obviously mistook me for him.
The other person grabbed my shoulder.
This person was dressed in black and covered his face.
His eyes were shining coldly under the candlelight.
His sword-shaped eyebrows suddenly wrinkled, and he said in surprise: "His Royal Highness Prince Ping" I was so surprised that I didn't expect this person to recognize me.
He hurriedly removed the long knife, knelt on the ground and said: "Your Highness, forgive me, I deserve death for disturbing my benefactor."
He slowly took off the black cloth from his mask, his handsome face full of excitement and guilt.
Complex expression.
"Tang Mei" I never thought that the person in front of me was Tang Mei.
I hurriedly helped him up: "Why are you here?"
Tang Mei looked around and lowered his voice and said, "Your Highness Prince Ping, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time.
Leave here first and I will explain to you."
After climbing over the wall and meeting Zhou Lang, a few of us arrived at the inn where Tang Mei temporarily stayed.
After closing the door, Tang Mei knelt down in front of me again: "Tang Mei deserves death for his crime, please ask King Ping to punish him."
I smiled and picked him up and said, "You didn't know it was me just now, so why are you guilty?"
Only then did Tang Mei stand up.
Zhou Lang was a shrewd man and knew that we must have a lot to talk about in private, so he went out to avoid it as an excuse to buy some late-night snacks.
Tang Mei met Yaoru and said to me: "Why does His Highness Prince Ping sneak into the ancestral hall late at night if he has any connection with the Tian family?"
I pointed at Yaoru with a smile and said, "Yaoru's father is Tian Xun.

I went to the ancestral hall to accompany her in laying out her mother's ashes."
Only then did Tang Mei understand the whole story.
He sighed and said, "It turns out that Miss Yaoru is the young lady of Tian Mansion."
Yaoru said: "I just heard you call out my brother's name.
Do you have any news about him?"
Tang Mei nodded, stood up and said, "Tang Mei has been engaged in the assassin's profession since he left Qindu.
Seven days ago, someone paid a lot of money for me to come to Jezhou to wait for Tian Yulin."
Yaoru lost her voice and said: "You want to kill my brother" Tang Mo nodded noncommittally: "The employer gave me three thousand taels of silver and asked me to bring Tian Yulin's head back."
I couldn't help but ask: "Who is the employer?"
Tang Mei was confused: "Prince Ping, please forgive me.
Those who engage in our profession must abide by the rules.
Keeping the employer's confidentiality is the first condition."
When I saw what he said, it was natural that I couldn't continue to ask further.
Tang Mei said: "Tian Yulin escaped from Northern Xinjiang and caused great trouble.
It should not be difficult for you to find out in the future."
Yaoru felt a mixture of joy and sorrow in her heart.
She was happy that her brother had successfully escaped from trouble, but she was worried that he had made such a powerful enemy and was now in a dangerous situation.
Not without worry: "Will you see my brother?"
Tang Mei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Tian.
Now that Tang Mei knows the whole story, I will never continue to interfere.
I will return the silver to them tomorrow."
I nodded appreciatively and said to Tang Mei: "Tang Mei, I need to do something very important when I come to Jeju this time.
Can you stay with me and help me in the future?"
Tang Mei hurriedly knelt down on the ground and said, "Tang Mei is willing to go through fire and water for His Highness without any hesitation."
I was overjoyed.
With the help of Tang Mei, a master, it would be much easier for me to do things in the future.
Early the next morning, Tang Mei and I rode to the east gate of Jeju City to visit Shen Chi.
After asking the gatekeepers, we found out that Shen Chi had been ill for two years and was still recuperating at home.
After asking about Shen Chi's residence, we rode towards the beach.
The horse walked along the beach, and the horse's hooves fell rhythmically on the white gauze, creating a mist of mist.
Looking up into the distance, the blue sea and white sand complement each other, which is extremely pleasing to the eye.
Tang Mei pointed to the hut on the cliff ahead and said, "That should be Shen Chi's residence."
I smiled and said, "No wonder Shen Chi stayed in Jeju for eleven years.
I would be willing to live in such a paradise on earth."
Tang Mei said: "Forgive Tang Mei for speaking bluntly, the young master has great ambitions and will never settle for nothing."
I laughed loudly and swung the whip hard on the horse's butt.
The horse neighed and ran down the cliff first.
Tang Mei urged his horse to catch up and gallop with me.
Before reaching the cliff, tie the horse to the big tree at the foot of the mountain and climb the steps along a narrow mountain road.
The mountains are empty and the people are quiet, and the sound of birdsong can be heard from time to time.
I saw towering cliffs on both sides, and the walls were covered with moss and vine trees.
In the middle of a patch of green, a valley path appears.
Looking from below, the sky looks like a green belt, covering it with white clouds flying across it from time to time.
The valley path is even more winding and winding, like a spiral.
The territory is remote and the weather is majestic and deep.

The two of us came to the hut on the top of the mountain.
There were many orchids and large chrysanthemums growing around the thatched hut.
Autumn chrysanthemums and spring orchids were as beautiful as each other.
Coupled with the clear waves reflecting the moon, the reflection of the green mountains, the ringing of the springs and the peaceful singing of the pines, the scenery is so beautiful that I have never seen it before.
Walking alone among the flowers, I can't help but feel refreshed and cheerful.
In front of the door, a young boy was sweeping the courtyard with a broom.
I said respectfully: "I dare to ask my little brother, is Mr.
Shen here?"
The boy looked at me and said, "My husband went out to sea for fishing.
He probably won't be back for the next two days.
You can come back some time later."
I couldn't help but be a little disappointed that Shen Chi was so leisurely and carefree that he left his name to the boy before leaving with Tang Mei.
Three days later, Tang Mei and I went to visit again, but Shen Chi still didn't come back.
This time I brought some gifts for Shen Chi.
After leaving the gifts, I informed the boy of his name before leaving.
When he came to the foot of the mountain, Tang Mei couldn't help but said: "Who is this Shen Chi that the young master condescends to visit?"
I smiled and said: "I am also loyal, but the person who can be valued by Empress Jing should not be an ordinary person."
Tang Mei smiled and said: "Next time we come back, we can count it as three visits to the thatched cottage."
I nodded and said, "I don't know if this Shen Chi has the talent of Crouching Dragon."
When I returned to my residence, I saw Qian Sihai chatting with a middle-aged scholar in shabby clothes.
The two of them stood up in a hurry when they saw me.
Qian Sihai said: "Sir, let me introduce to you.
This is the housekeeper of Tian Mansion in the past.
"Xu Da Chi" Xu Dachi hurriedly stepped forward to greet him.
Because of his past identity, I observed this man carefully.
He was in his thirties, but his temples were gray, and the skin on his face looked extremely pale due to being in prison for a long time.
Qian Sihai said: "Tomorrow I will take over Tian's Salt Farm."
His words revealed his sincere excitement.
This was the main purpose of his trip.
Now that everything is about to come true, one can imagine the joy in his heart.
While we were talking, Yao Ru came over accompanied by Su Sanniang.
She and Xu Dachi met their eyes and were both surprised.
Xu Dalchi said in a trembling voice: "Miss" Yao Ru's eyes were slightly red: "Uncle Xu" I had long known that such a situation would happen when they met, but Qian Sihai was unprepared for this.
He stood there dumbfounded.
He smiled bitterly and said to me: "Master, Miss Yaoru turns out to be Tian Xun's daughter."
I smiled and nodded.
"Young master, it's hard for me to hide this from you."
Qian Sihai looked helpless.
I smiled and said, "Why did Boss Qian say this?
I just found out."
Naturally, Qian Sihai would not believe what I said.
I patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Boss Qian.
I guarantee that Yaoru will not interfere with your takeover of the salt farm."
Su Sanniang came here mainly to take away her luggage.
Another purpose was to invite us to a banquet.

Su Sanniang liked to exaggerate everything.
The sisters she talked about were so exaggerated by her that she became the richest man in Jeju City.
Qian Sihai whispered: "I'm going to the salt field at noon.
I'm afraid I won't be able to go."
Su Sanniang rolled her eyes at him and said, "Did I ever say I wanted to invite you?"
Qian Sihai was robbed of all his money by her, and his old face turned red.
Su Sanniang said to me: "Master Long, you must not shirk it.
Thanks to you, I was able to arrive in Jeju safely this time.
The main reason is to thank you for coming."
She looked around and pretended to be surprised: "Why not?"
Meet Zhou Lang" I smiled and said: "It seems that Sanniang's main purpose is to invite Zhou Lang.
If we go there, will it hinder your good deeds?"
Su Sanniang's pretty face turned red and she spat: "You are so unruly, you always talk nonsense.
If I really want to do that thing with Zhou Lang, how can I be afraid of you getting in the way?"
As soon as she said these words, there was a burst of laughter
