Chapter 258: Undercurrent
In the dimly lit room, the doors and windows were closed, and only a few rays of pale sunlight slipped through the cracks, adding a little warmth to the gloomy room.
This is a mourning hall, narrow and cramped, and it is frighteningly empty.
The only tablet is quietly placed in the center, and there are several small seals of Yu's Xiangfei on it.
The brightly dressed young man stood quietly in front of the spiritual seat, staring at the tablet with unfathomable eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Your Highness. ”
The shadows in the corner suddenly distorted, and a man's voice came from within.
The young man didn't look back, just spit out a word lightly:
"Speak. ”
In the shadows, he knelt down on one knee with one leg, and looked at the trouser leg with iron armor, and the military boots on his feet were the standard of a martial arts captain, which seemed to be a certain martial artist in the court.
"The disciples of the three sects made a big fuss about an inn, and all the young masters of the powerful and wealthy families were beaten up by them, which ...... It also includes the little prince of Prince Yong's mansion. ”
"Liang Yong, that idiot was also beaten? These people are really bold. The boy was slightly surprised, but it seemed to be expected.
He pondered for a moment, then asked:
"What about that Xiao Yu, can you see what kind of cultivation he is doing now?"
The voice in the shadows replied respectfully, "The subordinates have confirmed that he is still only in the realm of the Martial Artist Nine Heavens!"
"Martial Artist Nine Heavens, good!"
There was a hint of happiness in the young man's flat tone, "Doesn't he like to be in the limelight? I'll give him this opportunity! The country is not their country sect, don't think that bullying a few Liang Yong's kind of goods can run rampant here!"
As soon as Xiao Yu was mentioned, the young man's tone was full of resentment and resentment.
Those deep eyes narrowed into slits, like a poisonous snake spitting letters.
"Prince Yong has a message from there, hoping that His Royal Highness can administer justice for the little prince. ”
"His son is a waste himself, he has been beaten by others, what justice do you want me to administer?" the young man snorted coldly, impatient.
"What Prince Yong means, in the past, you studied through the three sects, and those thugs were all considered to have a sect friendship with you. As a hereditary prince, he is not very easy to get involved in such trivial matters......"
"His hereditary prince doesn't want to get involved in these little things, so should my identity run before and after to wipe his ass?"
There was already anger in the young man's tone, and as the words fell, the majestic aura burst out violently, blowing a gust of wind in the narrow mourning hall.
"Your Highness is angry!"
The voice in the shadows persuaded: "Prince Yong is now your biggest supporter, and it is a matter of Lichu, so it is not appropriate to turn against him at this time." ”
When the boy heard this, the anger in his heart was slightly suppressed, but the eyes were even more resentful and intimidating.
The entire mourning hall fell into a depressing atmosphere in the silence of the teenager, and the gloomy environment added to the coldness.
After a long time, the young man spoke again: "What's going on over there with the eldest prince?"
"The eldest prince hasn't made any big moves recently, and it will be the ceremony of the lord of the country to reward the three sects, and it is estimated that he doesn't want to make any extraneous branches at this time. ”
The young man sneered: "He's smart, unlike those stupid people under me, if he doesn't use his fart, he will make trouble for me!"
Naturally, he was talking about the group of nobles led by Liang Shao, these people represented several prominent wealthy merchants in the city, and several of their families had a prominent presence in the court.
If you want to gain a firm foothold in Lichu, these people must be wooed.
The voice in the shadows hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Xiao Yu's side, do you need your subordinates to find someone......
His meaning was very clear, but the young man shook his head and said lightly: "Xiao Yu is still a little useful, my father asked to see him by name, don't you treat your father as a fool when you start at this time." ”
"Your Highness is far-sighted, but your subordinates are stupid. ”
The young man smiled slightly, and suddenly asked:
"It's you, how are you doing over there in Xia Xingyu?"
In the mourning hall with the doors and windows closed, a faint cold wind blew out of nowhere, and the cold air permeated people.
The voice in the shadows was neither humble nor arrogant, and replied in a deep voice:
"Your Highness, rest assured, Xia Xingyu has no doubts about the identity of her subordinates, she doesn't know that I am His Highness's person at all. ”
"You work together in the same dynasty, you are all martial artists, maybe you will be ape one day, and you will turn against Naxia Xingyu......"
The boy's eyes were fixed on the shadows in the corner, and his smile was sinister.
"I am loyal to Your Highness, and I have no second heart!" The voice in the shadow added a little trepidation, "The humble duty is only dedicated to His Highness's great cause, and I hope that His Highness believes in the loyalty of the humble position!"
"Alright, I'm just kidding you. ”
The young man glanced faintly at the shadows, and turned his head away with a smile, "This time it is thanks to you, if you hadn't arranged it from ......"
"Your Highness is a far-sighted person, and the humble position is just following your instructions. ”
The young man nodded in satisfaction, staring at the spiritual position placed in the center, and a hideous look gradually appeared on his face.
"You have to keep an eye on Xia Xingyu's side, and ...... if necessary You know!"
"Even if I am defeated in the future, I will be forced to hurry, and I will be exhausted with 100,000 military horses at the border to see who is sitting in that seat!"
The mourning hall was chilly, and ghosts were crying.
"Alright, you go down. ”
Exhaustion welled up on the boy's face, "I'm going to be alone with my mother for a while. ”
"Yes!" the foot withdrew into the shadows, and there was no sound in the corner.
The young man looked at the word Xiangfei on the tablet and whispered in a low voice:
"Mother, don't worry. What we have lost, the child will take it back with his own hands!"
......
On the second day of beating up a group of gentlemen and nobles, Xiao Yuzheng and Duan Yuxi were sitting in the room discussing Zixiao's swordsmanship, and they still recalled the profound philosophy of "convincing people with reason" in their minds.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door outside, and the two of them were surprised, at this time, who would be looking for it?
It is impossible for the people of the sky wolf and Cangyun, the sky wolf son and they behaved rudely, and they must have pushed the door directly when they came over.
Cangyun is arrogant by nature, and he will not take the initiative to come to Xiao Yu.
However, Mo Xuanyu, who is polite on the surface, still has some possibilities.
Xiao Yu thought wildly in his heart, and said, "Please come in." ”
Squeak!
The door was gently pushed open, and a handsome woman stood in front of it.
Look at her with a feather scarf on her head, wearing light armor, hanging a steel knife at her waist, and stepping on military boots.
It's Xia Xingyu coming!
"Xia Xingyu, why are you here?" Xiao Yu said happily, hurriedly beckoning her to sit down.
"When you come to the national capital, I should be the first to visit, but I'm afraid that you will blame me for being slack. ”
Xia Xingyu smiled, she hadn't seen Xiao Yu for a long time, she only felt that the lines on the man's face in front of her were getting tougher and harder, and her cold gaze made people always want to take two more looks.
She sat down generously and saw an iceberg beauty sitting opposite.
Dai Mei condenses the rhyme, and the autumn water rhyme is really the color of the city.
"This is Sister Duan. ”
Xia Xingyu looked at Duan Yuxi, took off the saber on his waist and slapped it on the table, and smiled heartily, "When I was in Lengquan Pass, I always heard Xiao Yu mention you, saying that the First Sword Sect has a peerless beauty with ice and jade bones, and when I saw Sister Duan today, it was really cold and beautiful!"
Duan Yuxi smiled faintly, and her delicate lips like stamens slowly spit out a cold timbre: "Miss Xia said that she laughed, Yuxi is twenty-eight years old, a few years younger than you." The word 'sister' should be called Miss Xia by me. ”
Both of them slowed down their tones on the word "sister", and when the words fell, neither of them spoke anymore.
There was silence in the room.
Xia Xingyu's back was straight, his eyes were burning, his eyes were wide and he stared straight at Duan Yu, and the corners of his mouth curled up a little.
The whole person is as awe-inspiring and aggressive as the treasure knife on the table.
Duan Yuxi, who was opposite, had soothing eyebrows, lowered eyes, and a shallow smile on his delicate lips.
She sat still, and her own cold and arrogant temperament spontaneously emerged, like a vast wave of smoke, and the fierce momentum that rushed in front of her was collected at the bottom of the lake.
Xiao Yu was about to talk to the two, but suddenly noticed the strange atmosphere in the house!
The keen instincts he had cultivated many times between life and death told him that there was a great deal of danger hidden beneath this calm surface!
If he is not careful, he will stumble and fall in the turbulent undercurrent between these two women!
He secretly glanced at Xia Xingyu and Duan Yuxi out of the corner of his eyes, and a drop of cold sweat was left on his forehead.
Xia Xingyu is pretty and bright, with the unique sassy and heroic posture of a martial artist, Duan Yu cherishes the ice and is clear and jade, like an empty valley and an orchid, so beautiful that it is incomparable.
These two women have their own beauty, and it is difficult to distinguish between them, and it is a rare fragrant scene to get together.
However, Xiao Yu, who was caught in the middle, had no intention of appreciating it at the moment, he only felt that he was sitting between the two of them, in a dilemma, and it was not if he opened his mouth, nor did he open his mouth.
"That, I said......" Xiao Yu couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere in the room, and said stubbornly.
"My sister is so good-looking, there must be many young and handsome people in the One Sword Sect. I don't know if I have secretly promised that I have found a lover?"
Xia Xingyu interrupted Xiao Yu and watched Duan Yu fight against each other.
"My sister laughed, I was obsessed with cultivation and rarely paid attention to these mundane things. ”
Duan Yuxi smiled lightly and didn't let go, "I haven't thanked my sister for taking care of Xiao Yu in Lengquan Pass." Xiao Yu was able to meet a friend like his sister, and I was really happy for him. ”
When she said this, she seemed to be intimate with Xiao Yu.
Duan Yuxi smiled at the corner of his mouth, and Xia Xingyu grinded his teeth gently.
Then there was endless silence again, and the atmosphere in the room was dangerous, and invisible swords were thumping!
Xiao Yu sat up straight, sweating coldly, only feeling that his heart was beating wildly.
Just as he was restless, the door was suddenly pushed open, and the wolf and Moro came in together:
"Xiao Yu, let's fight for wine...... Ahh
As soon as the two of them entered the door, they noticed that something was wrong, and they were stunned at their feet.
When I saw the situation in the room, I suddenly felt bad in my heart.
"Excuse me...... Let's talk, we'll come back later!"
As soon as the two of them shrank their heads, they wanted to turn around and run away.
If I don't run now, when will I stay?
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu's room is actually a tiger's den in Longtan at this moment, and the two of them are heroic young men, when they are in high spirits, they must not be planted here, and their reputation will be ruined!
"Stop!" Xiao Yu yelled, finally two rescuers came, how could he let it go easily!
He jumped up from his seat with a thud and pulled them back and pressed them to the table.
Sky Wolf Zi and Mo Luo glanced at each other, and lifted the wine jug with a sad expression: "I heard that this is the famous flower carving of this inn, let's bring it over and give everyone a taste......
Xia Xingyu saw the wine jug, her eyes lit up, she took the bowl and poured a bowl for everyone, and smiled at Duan Yuxi: "I didn't prepare any gifts for the first meeting, so I replaced it with turbid wine, and I toast Miss Duan with a glass!"
She picked up the sea bowl, raised her head and swallowed it all, and there was not a drop of wine left in the bowl.
