The two brothers and sisters looked at each other silently, and there was a suffocating silence in the room, only the sound of Nurse Pang's nervous and heavy breathing echoed in the air.

The silence is slowly tightening like an invisible net.

Looking at the silent Gu Yuan, Gu Yanfei's eyelashes drooped slightly, casting a dark shadow on her porcelain-white cheeks.

She sighed slightly in her heart, but she didn't feel disappointed.

It was normal for Gu Yuan to have no doubts about what happened back then. At that time, Gu Yuan was only three years old. What did a three-year-old child know and what disease did he have?

Furthermore, most people may not remember many things when they were three or four years old.

Just like her, after two hundred years, she has forgotten many people and many things... Until recently, she slowly recalled some trivial details that may not be important.

Gu Yanfei raised his hand and rubbed the center of his brows, a wave of tiredness surged up uncontrollably, and it was menacing, but Gu Yuan suddenly said: "By the way, back then, Dad seemed to have asked me too..."

Nanny Pang's eyes widened suddenly, her body trembled violently, and she didn't even feel the handkerchief in her hand come off.

Even Gu Yanfei lost his mind for a moment at this moment, his eyes opened slightly, and his heart trembled violently.

She asked in a low voice, "What happened next?"

Gu Yuan took a deep breath, trying to calm down the turbulent dark tide in his heart, his chest seemed to be congealed, stuffy, heavy, and continued: "Later, Dad took me and Gu Yunxie to Yangzhou, until ..."

His voice became slower and slower, lower and lower, and finally stopped abruptly.

He didn't go on, but everyone present understood his unfinished words——

Until Yangzhou fell!

Gu Yuan's eyes became extremely deep, and he pursed his lips tightly. Eight years have passed, but what happened back then is still deeply engraved on his heart, leaving scars that can never be erased.

In that battle, he lost his father. Everyone said that his father betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy. Even his grandmother felt humiliated by his father...

His world suddenly collapsed!

Gu Yuan's expression remained unmoved, and there was a faint sadness in his whole body.

Gu Yanfei stared blankly at Gu Yuan's stern side face, her gaze was a little dazed and desolate, as if she was looking through him at the man she had only ever seen in two lifetimes.

her father...

"boom!"

The door of the main room was suddenly kicked open from the outside roughly, making a "creaking" sound, and one of the door leaves was kicked to the ground and split in two.

Outside the hall, three people could be seen standing under the eaves outside the gate.

Walking in the center is Xia Houqing in red, and standing on his left and right are two relatives, one old and one young.

Xia Houqing's clothes were as bright red as fire, still as spotless as before;

The other two were ashamed and embarrassed, as if they had rolled around in dust and gravel.

Xia Houqing cast a sideways glance at Qin Sui in disgust, and only slightly moved the two fingers of his right hand, and the silver-haired old man took a step back knowingly, and then half a step back.

"..." Huang Wei's family was left behind by the three of Xia Houqing, with a embarrassed expression on their faces, thinking that this guest who stayed overnight was too impolite. She just said that the girl and the eldest young master have something to do, but the other party still insists on breaking in!

Gu Yanfei's eyes turned around on the brand new red shirt on Xia Houqing's body, but he couldn't find any dust, and thought to himself: It's a pity.

Xia Houqing didn't say a word, as if he didn't come here uninvited, but the master here.

He crossed the threshold and walked into the main room with a blank face, walked straight ahead, then flipped his robe casually, and sat down on the grand master's chair at the top with a flamboyant posture.

"I live here today." Xia Houqing boldly declared that he planned to occupy the main courtyard instead of the guests.

The silver-haired old man didn't enter the room immediately, but stood on the porch and clapped hands lightly.

"Crack!"

The next moment, a row of men in black quickly walked into the main courtyard. Everyone was empty-handed. They moved in all items such as screens, incense burners, dust whisks, chair cushions, red clay stoves, tea sets, etc. , arranged one by one.

A series of crimson curtains were drawn from the beams of the house, and on the east side, a dazzling three-panel red sandalwood throne screen inlaid with jade and flowers was placed, and a dark red Persian wool carpet was spread on the floor. Put the red sandalwood Taishi chair on it and put a big red embroidered gold thread unicorn pillow.

Someone also put a three-legged censer with emerald carved dragon buttons in the corner behind the screen...

Their movements are very skillful and well-trained. It seems that they have done it countless times. In just a short while, Xia Houqing's surroundings have been completely renovated.

All these ornaments are exquisite and gorgeous, and each piece is priceless, decorating such an ordinary main room into a magnificent palace.

A thin puff of green smoke rises from the incense burner and spreads in the air. The fragrance is unique, clear and mellow, with a hint of sweetness.

Gu Yanfei was dumbfounded, and slandered in her heart: Xia Houqing wants to take all the things in the house with her when she goes out?

"My lord, drink tea." A man in black quickly made a pot of tea for Xia Houqing on the spot.

An elegant and pure tea fragrance wafted over, the tip of Gu Yanfei's nose moved, and his eyes lit up.

The aroma of this tea is high and clear, pure and sharp, thick and pure, it must be a top-grade tea.

In an instant, Gu Yanfei felt that the cup of plum blossom tea in his hand became dull.

The silver-haired old man called Lao Qi walked towards Gu Yanfei and the others silently, with a straight figure, and said in a cold tone: "Our lord likes to be quiet and doesn't like to make noise. Please, please."

He issued the "exit order" as a matter of course.

"..." Gu Yanfei regretted it, thinking that she should have drawn an extra thunder and fire talisman on the paper crane just now, so that the whole house collapsed.

Chu Yi drank the plum blossom tea in the cup gracefully, his movements and postures were as pleasing to the eye as usual, and he turned a blind eye to the behavior of Xia Houqing and his party, and did not hear them.

After sipping some tea carefully, Chu Yi said indifferently: "Mr. Xiahou came to my great scene this trip, but for the "Taizu Handbook"?"

His gentle voice sounded slowly, a faint smile floated on his face, his eyes were so bright that they seemed to be able to see through everything in the world, reflecting the room with brilliance.

After speaking, there was silence in the room, except for the sound of boiling water on the small red clay stove, there was no other sound, and the men in black brought by Xia Houqing seemed to be as quiet as if they didn't exist at all.

Xia Houqing was noncommittal, glanced at the dust on the table with disgust, took out a new handkerchief, wiped her hands slowly, and stroked her sleeves.

What is Taizu Handbook? It was the first time Gu Yanfei had heard of the Taizu's handwriting, and looked at Chu Yi on the right with his chin resting.

Her black and white eyes seemed to be able to speak, and Chu Yi immediately understood her meaning.

"This is the letter left by my great-grandfather." Chu Yi smiled at her, his handsome face became softer with this smile, gentle and elegant like a spring breeze, "Great-grandfather recorded many ideas in those letters that he had no time to realize during his lifetime .”

"Great-grandfather wanted to improve looms, sea ships, gunpowder, and steelmaking... He also said that the wine here is too weak to be called wine at all. He has a way to make real wine."

Gu Yanfei listened attentively, and as he listened, his thoughts moved.

She always felt that some of the things Chu Yi described were familiar, as if she had seen them somewhere.

Where is it?

Gu Yanfei tried hard to search his memory, from near to far.

She was reborn not long ago, so she was sure that if it wasn't this life, then it was the previous life... When was the previous life?

Chu Yi said with a smile on his face: "My great-grandfather was an interesting madman, and he had a lot of whimsical ideas, saying that one day people can fly, and that a car can travel thousands of miles within two days on the track. In addition, it is said that there is a kind of 'artillery' that can kill people in a city at once..."

As he said that, he tilted his eyes to Xia Houqing who was above him, his eyes flickering faintly in the candlelight.

The screen blocked Xia Houqing's figure, leaving only a sharp silhouette.

Behind the screen, Xia Houqing was pretending to be drinking tea, with a sneer on her bewitching red lips behind the teacup.

He didn't take Chu Yi's words seriously, this young master Yi was clearly testing himself!

Gu Yanfei thought hard, thought hard, and tried to concentrate, but the harder she worked, the more difficult it was for her to concentrate...

Her eyes suddenly went dark, and several double images swayed past, and her upper body shook accordingly, and she almost fell down.

She quickly helped her forehead, only to hear Xia Houqing's mocking sneer coming from the direction of her head.

She regretted it again.

If it wasn't for her lack of spiritual power, she should have drawn hundreds more Fire and Thunder Talismans to kill him.

Gu Yanfei's consciousness was a little erratic, and she was in a trance for a while, and then she shivered suddenly.

This night, she was drawing talismans, fortune-telling, and tit-for-tat. Whether it was mental or physical strength, she had reached her limit, especially because of the lack of spiritual energy here. Got hollowed out.

"It's time for you to rest." Chu Yi's gentle voice was like spring wind turning into rain.

really. Gu Yanfei never forced herself to get up obediently.

But she was really too tired, and as soon as she stood up, she felt a deep sense of tiredness sweeping over her, her eyelids were heavy, and her feet began to flutter again.

Chu Yi quickly supported her, with a gentle smile in his eyes and bright eyes.

That look seemed to say that he was here.

Gu Yanfei's eyes were a little dazed again, she raised her lips, and showed him a tired and weak smile.

The heavy eyelids finally drooped, and the boundless and endless darkness flooded in...

Before the darkness completely overwhelmed her consciousness, the last thought in her mind was——

Where did she see this letter?
