Peony became anxious. "Then did you go to the Locked Yang Pass?"

Xie Jin nodded, she was not as quick-witted as before.

Peony became even more suspicious.

"Has something happened to young master?" Peony's expression became serious.

"You stinking brat, quickly tell me, did something happen to young master?" Xie Chen asked nervously.

Xie Jin repeatedly shook her head. He did not want to say anything, he did not understand why a Chiron like herself would want to live in a Honorable Marquis’ Mansion.

Xie Chen saw that Xie Jin's mouth was shut even tighter than a clam shell, and knew that the situation was not good. The older soldiers at the entrance could not help but become nervous, just in case young master really had met with misfortune, and everyone would have no hope.

Peony was still experienced, so she forced out a smile to comfort him. "Brother, maybe it's because I'm too tired from the journey, why not take a rest for the night, I'll ask you tomorrow."

Peony did not tell the Old Granny about Xie Jin's matter. She only secretly wrote a letter and found a reliable person to get him to ride on the horse and rush to Locked Yang Pass overnight. She wanted to find out what exactly was going on.

However, Xie Jin, after returning to the house and looking at her mother again, she said that she was in her early thirties, had a dignified appearance and was only missing some decorations. She was not one bit inferior to the noble ladies of Dazhou, how did she look like a Chiron?

mute lady did not know how to speak and was very happy to see Xie Jin back. She gestured with her hands and asked Xie Jin what she wanted to eat.

After a while, mute lady brought out a basket of steamed buns and two dishes, which Xie Jin ate without saying a word. mute lady sat beside him happily, watching him eat. After he finished eating, she cleared the table with a smile. She even gestured to him that the water was ready for a bath, and new clothes were prepared for him.

Xie Jin saw that her father did not follow him in, and stared at mute lady as he asked, "Mother! Am I a Chiron? "

mute lady's expression changed as she hurriedly covered his mouth and shook her head in fear.

"Should I not say it, or am I not Chiron?" Xie Jin's eyes were red, her expression sinister and terrifying.

mute lady covered her mouth and quickly turned around to run out. However, Xie Jin could see very clearly that her eyes were tearing up.

Xie Jin's last hope had been shattered!

Peony was always absent-minded about the messenger at dinner. She didn't even hear the old lady asking her to get more food.

"What did Wang Lanying tell you?" I was out of my mind all night. "

"Oh, she didn't say anything. It's Lord Third's birthday today. Third Young Madam is in a bad mood."

"Sigh!" Speaking of this, who could be in a good mood? In the battle back then, more than half of Iron family's young and strong men died. She hated me, back then the Master hid this information from the young Brother, who knows how he found out, that I ran off at night, that the little kid didn't have any experience on the battlefield, and died in battle. I am truly wronged, ever since the rumors spread from the imperial court, she seems to have been on guard against me. I couldn't even enter her courtyard, so how could I have the chance to pass the news to the young Brother? "But she's so petty that no matter how much I try to explain it to her, she just won't listen. All these years, other than New Year's Day's pride, she's never even said a good word to me." The Old Lady Feng sighed and cursed the Old Lady Wang.

Peony did not even hear a word he said. Fortunately, after finishing their meal, the old lady went to chant at the Buddhist Hall. Only then did she have time to call Xie Jin to ask about it.

Xie Jin was currently bathing, and now he knew why mute lady had to personally stand guard at the door every time she took a bath, preventing anyone from entering. She also knew why mute lady never allowed him to take off her clothes in front of anyone, because there was such a tattoo on his chest, which was the root of the hatred of all the Dazhouer.

"Has Brother Jin been washed? Aunt Peony wants you to go ask her questions. Hurry up, it's getting late, you're not allowed to enter the backyard when it's dark, and those aunts are going to nag again. " A headless manservant shouted outside the door.

Xie Jin carelessly wiped her face with a cloth and replied: "I understand, I will go."

He put on the clothes that mute lady had prepared for him, folded Yue Ying's father's clothes very seriously, and handed it over to mute lady: "This was lent to me by a friend of mine. Wash it carefully, don't ruin it, I still have to return it to him."

Seeing Xie Jin being so serious, she immediately nodded her head and took the changed clothes to go wash. Xie Jin stopped her: "First wash this and iron it out, and then wash the rest later."

Because of what happened previously, mute lady felt that she had let her son down, so she didn't mind and washed her clothes first. Xie Jin followed the servant to the backyard to talk to Peony.

mute lady splashed the clothes into the water and felt that something was amiss. The clothes looked very familiar, the material was satin and it could not be worn by normal people, and even if it was expensive, it was rare. She hurriedly lifted up her sleeve and looked carefully, there was a hole on her right arm, although the hole had been repaired, but she could not forget the mark, she was immediately stunned …

On the winding mountain path,

The two horses were walking leisurely. Not far behind them, a man was walking with difficulty, leaning on an iron spear.

Tie Yi slowly opened his eyes. He was still on his horse, but he had already left the outpost. Yue Yong followed behind the horse and limped forward step by step. Blood flowed from his calves all the way to the ground and dripped onto the ground.

"Why, why did you knock me out? I want to guard the outpost with them. If we leave, the Chiron will immediately take over that pass. " Tie Yi was so anxious that he wanted to jump down from the horse.

Seeing him so anxious, Yue Yong bared his teeth and laughed, "You're just adding on more corpses when you go back, if you really have the ability to guard the outpost, then you wouldn't even point your spear at me, it's so hypocritical."

Tie Yi blushed, "I don't want to be captured by them!"

"Tsk," Yue Yong taunted in disdain, "It's so easy to die! Do you think you're loyal to your country that way? You're wasting your life. What did Miss tell you when you left? What did you promise? You said you would protect yourself and live on! Don't tell me your words are all bullshit? "

"I …" Tie Yi no longer argued, "You can come up and ride, I can walk by myself."

Tie Yi calmed himself down and jumped down from the horse, and Yue Yong went up onto the horse unrestrainedly, he grimaced and said: "If the pass is lost, we can take it back, and if he dies, he has nothing, Miss has so much effort to help you, could it be that you are waiting to die for the country?"
