Chapter 18: The Rivalry is Bitter
October 3, 527 at 13:11 in the Magic Calendar
Xiang Risong asked Hongying to sit on the couch and wait, while he and Marshall had been in the kitchen for more than an hour.
Hongying was already so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back: "Brother, Marshall, are you okay?"
"Right away! Right away! Wait a little longer. ”
Hongying heard the sound of "Ding Lingdang" in the kitchen, and sighed: "Obviously, I haven't learned to cook in the past few years, so I have to cook and eat by myself." I've been starving to death for so long!"
"Alright, alright, it's time to eat!" Marshall smiled as he pushed open the kitchen door and walked out with two plates of pasta.
Marshall placed the pasta on the table and nodded with some satisfaction: "Looks good." Then he pulled out the dining chair and sat down for Hongying.
Hongying watched Xiang Risong walk out of the kitchen with a cup of coffee and a cup of black tea, handed it to Marshall, and then immediately closed the kitchen door to prevent Hongying from seeing the embarrassed look inside: "Let's eat!"
"You guys, you've been making these two pastas for so long?" Hongying looked at the plate with a little too much tomato sauce, and a particularly large lump of uncut diced meat in the sauce.
Xiang Risong coughed twice in embarrassment: "Haha, eat quickly." ”
Today, Marshall forgot to pull away Xiang Risong's chair, and directly pulled a small chair to sit next to Hongying, rolled up the pasta with a fork and put it on the spoon, and then gave it to Hongying's mouth: "Open your mouth, ah-"
Xiang Risong was a little angry, but he watched Hongying's anger go down again.
Hongying opened her mouth and ate the bite of the noodles uncertainly, huh, the taste was much better than it looked: "It's better than I thought." Marshall, don't you eat it?"
"Miss eats first, I'll eat later. ”
"If I hadn't been hurt, I'd have let you sit with me and eat, and I don't care whose rules it is. Hongying looked at Xiang Risong and raised her eyebrows.
Xiang Himatsu shook his head and barely ate the noodles on his plate.
"Ding Dong Ding -", the doorbell rang.
Marshall put down his spoon and prepared to open the door.
Xiang Risong immediately stood up: "You continue to feed, I'll open the door." ”
I don't know if this side is really difficult for Xiang Himatsu to swallow, but the fact that he didn't hesitate to open the door for the guests was something that surprised Marshall.
Although Xiang Risong doesn't like to distinguish between high and low, the arrogance of being a royal family in his natural bones has never changed.
Opening the door, standing outside the door was the Four-House Cancer Inquisitor, Golden Lily.
She was surprised that Xiang Risong was at home, and she personally opened the door to greet her: "Why did you open the door yourself? Isn't Marshall there? You rarely separate, can I go in?"
Jin Lily said that she was pleading, but looking at Xiang Risong's eyes and tone with the meaning of order: I want to go in.
Xiang Himatsu politely invited the golden lily into the house, and the golden lily looked at the living room in surprise.
"You, you've been on leave for two days in a row!For the sake of this adopted sister, you put aside so many important matters of the councillor's meeting, and you enjoy lunch at home?" Jin Lily's tone exaggerated to startle Hongying.
Marshall stood up and bowed to the Golden Lily: "Miss Jin, I'm sorry I didn't open the door for you, but I'm helping my young lady with a meal right now." Thank you for your understanding. ”
Xiang Risong shook his hand at Marshall: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and feed Hongying, it'll be cold for a while!" He turned to Jin Lily, "Did you come to me for something?"
"You must now make a choice: is the kingdom important, or is your unrelated sister important!"
"Are you sick? She's my sister! Of course she's the most important thing! You're here to ask this question?"
Jin Lily glared at Xiang Risong angrily: "Do you know where she came from? Does she have any purpose? Is she an enemy spy? You are the judge of the second palace, and you must let the parliamentarian review this girl before making this kind of adoption." You just took a girl home!"
Xiang Risong pouted: "What are you angry about?"
"Xiang Risong, I know you very well, you never cook, you don't waste time on eating. You look at yourself, you smell of oil. Jin Lily didn't know the person in front of her, "I know you as a person who will always put the affairs of the country and the parliamentary council first, not a nanny who cooks and fries fried rice at home and serves others." ”
Hongying couldn't listen anymore, and she barely stood up. walked in front of Jin Lily: "Miss Jin, it's normal for you to suspect my identity, my brother can do whatever he wants, do you need to take care of it?"
"You actually got such an uneducated woman at home!" said the golden lily, pointing to the red ying.
"Be careful when you speak, don't think that you were my friend when I was a child, and you can point fingers at my sister. ”
"Sister! You recognize her as your sister! You are a royal family, how can you let a mouse be your sister. ”
Xiang Himatsu's expression became ugly, and he stopped Hongying behind him. But Hongying didn't want to hide behind her brother, she wanted to fight back: "Miss Jin, do you think you know my brother very well? You know that he is a conscientious person, so you think he is such a person? You think you are a friend of your brother, so do you know what he likes to drink?"
"Coffee. Golden Lily glanced at the dining table.
"No, my brother doesn't want people to know that he likes milk. ”
Xiang Risong stared at Hongying with wide eyes: "How do you know?"
"When I went to the black market, I smelled the milk in the kiosk, and if you found the milk on the table, you drank it immediately for fear that I would find out. You never drank milk in front of me again. ”
Jin Lily seems to be on a par with Hong Ying, so she has to compare with her: "Who do you want to compare with me to understand him, I tell you, you will definitely lose!"
Hongying felt that Jin Lily's reaction was a little too much, and she deliberately said: "In the past few years that we have lived together, I think I know my brother well enough. ”
Xiang Risong looked at them embarrassedly: "Is it necessary for you to engage in such a childish question and answer?"
Marshall stood aside: "Sir, don't you want to know which of them knows you better?"
"Why are you following the foolishness, you go and clean up the kitchen!"
"Yes. ”
"Kohinata's favorite color is blue. ”
"No, it's pink. ”
Jin Lily turned his head and asked Xiang Risong: "You say." ”
Xiang Risong's eyes were a little evasive: "I won't like pink anyway." ”
"Brother, why don't you admit it?"
"I don't like blue either, I like it, I like yellow. ”
"It's a tie, I know ......" Suddenly Jin Lily couldn't say anything else, she didn't know anything about Xiang Risong.
"Look, in fact, you don't know my brother that well, are you hostile to me because you like him, do you think I have taken him over?" Hongying asked tentatively, she felt that Golden Lily liked her brother.
"No, how could I like him. We're just friends who grew up together. There was an imperceptible shyness on the Golden Lily's face.
Xiang Risong wanted to relieve Jin Lily: "Hongying, don't talk nonsense." ”
"Just let me talk nonsense, only you know whether you like it or not, and no one will know if you don't say it. Hongying slowly took a few steps back, "Brother, I'll go see Marshall, you guys talk about yours." ”
Xiang Risong watched Hongying walk into the kitchen, and he looked at Jin Lily with a serious face: "What did you have to do with me?"
Golden Lily hid her girlish nature and quickly entered the role of the Inquisitor: "Do you know the Serpent Paladin Sumen?"
"I've seen it a few times, what's wrong?"
"He had just received a letter, a threatening letter to be exact. ”
"Threatening letter!kidnapping?" Xiang Risong crossed his arms.
"The letter was written in the blood of Su Yongguang, Su Man's daughter. The suspicious place is that Su Yongguang is in the second grade at Occupy Siwei, and he still has contact with Su Men last night. So she was kidnapped at the Academy. ”
"That's strange, but what about the contents of the letter?"
"Let Sumen take a thousand gold at nine o'clock tonight and go alone to the BA bar in the black market, where she can see her daughter in a private seat. As soon as Suman received the letter, he contacted the parliamentary council. ”
"The other party is in the black market, but they didn't think it was my jurisdiction, yes, you should be looking for me. What's the action?"
"There are so many people in the black market that we have no way to deploy operations there, so we can only limit the number of personnel to 10 people to the maximum. ”
"Their goal is Suman, but why?"
"There's no time to think about the other party's purpose, this operation has me, you, and Su Men's eight more powerful magic knights. The mission is to protect Su Men and rescue Su Yongguang. ”
"I remember it opened at five o'clock, and if I went there to squat it was bound to be spotted by a lot of people, and you and four of the knights entered the bar with their front and back feet and sat separately, and remember not to order the spirits there. After Suman entered the bar at nine o'clock, I and two others stood guard at the door of the bar, and the other two guarded the entrance to the black market. Arrest the other party as soon as they appear. ”
Jin Lily just admires Xiang Himatsu's serious appearance when he works. Although she doubted Hongying's identity, she felt that Hongying's point was right, and only by saying it would he know.
Jin Lily spoke with some hesitation: "That, after the operation is over tonight, I have something to say to you." ”
"Is there anything you can't say right now?"
"I'd like to wait until after the operation. Golden Lily scratched her ear, "You prepare well, I'll go inform them of the eight magic knights." We won't gather, and we'll see you at the location when the time comes. ”
Xiang Risong nodded and sent the golden lily out of the door. Remembering that Jin Lily said before that he was kidnapped at the academy, he was secretly glad that he had taken Hongying out.
Hongying heard that there was no sound in the living room, so she asked Marshall to open the kitchen door.
"Brother, are you done talking?" did she tell you?" Hongying smiled mischievously.
"I've got action tonight, you and Marshall have a good rest at home, don't run around, don't go to the black market. ”
"You have operations on the black market?"
"Yes, Suman's daughter has been kidnapped, Suman is going to ransom people, and we will protect her. ”
Hongying rolled her eyes: "Is Su Men's daughter named Su Yongguang?"
Xiang Risong's eyes widened: "You know!"
Hongying explained all the things in one hundred and fifty-ten.
"So it was you who injured Su Yongguang and caused her to be taken away by the illusion magician who pretended to be Liu Quanshui. Xiang Himatsu repeated.
Hongying's heart became empty and shook her lips: "I'm sorry, I know it's me who is in trouble, but, but...... I'm also hurt, I'm almost dead. ”
Hongying blinked his big eyes and looked at Xiang Risong with an aggrieved face, he gasped and looked away: "Don't look at me like that, oops, I know you didn't mean to." I don't blame you. ”
"But why did you hurt Su Yongguang, what happened between you?"
"Nothing, just a fight. ”
"Come back, you can rest at home, I have to go out. "Xiang Himatsu walked out.
"Well, I'm waiting for you at home. ”
