Volume 2 Ember Chapter 70 Night Talk
It was late at night.
There was a low knock on the door, and Sikong Xi was startled, jumped up from the desk and went to open the door. Yi Yu, who was sitting across from him, shook his head with a smile and poured another glass of wine syrup.
"This kid."
As soon as the wooden door opened, Sikong Xi suddenly smelled a special fragrance of flowers. The floral fragrance is like the fragrance of the rain of begonia flowers during the day. I can't help but sniff it twice.
"Senior brother, are you here......" Sikong Xi looked at Gu Key, whose face was a little unnatural, strangely.
He noticed that the ancient key didn't seem to be in a hurry to enter the door, and the back of one hand was squirming, as if he was hiding something.
"What's wrong with you, senior brother?" Sikong Xi's face finally turned weird, and he craned his neck to look behind the ancient key.
However, Gu Key's figure was very tall, and he only leaned back, blocking Sikong Xi's field of vision.
"It's just that you kid has a lot of idle things! Go in first! The ancient key pushed Sikong Xi away.
"What...... The gods are mysterious, and I'm not uncommon yet, master! Sikong Xi muttered, turned and walked into the house.
The sound of the door closing, and the ancient key also entered the door. It's just that Yi Yu surprisingly didn't make any sound. Sikong Xi went to look at Yi Yu who was sitting on the desk, and found that there was something different hidden in his eyes, so he turned his head to look at the ancient key that entered the door.
Only then did he really see what the ancient key was secretly hiding.
"This ...... Senior brother, you! How did you bring a woman back! Sikong Xi exclaimed, he stared at the girl behind Gu Key, and couldn't believe his eyes for a while.
The girl's eyes were rippling, and she lowered her head shyly, occasionally glancing up at the decoration of the room. Timid like a fawn.
"Be quiet!" Yi Yu pulled Sikong Xi over and covered his mouth.
"Brother Yi! You...... You and Senior Brother, did you collude with Senior Brother?! I'm going to ...... tonight" Sikong Xi looked back at Yi Yu, even more shocked, and shouted again.
"Shut up and listen to me first!" Yi Yu's face, which was flushed from drinking, became swollen.
He suddenly poured all the remaining half of the pot of wine on the desk into Sikong Xi's mouth. And Sikong Xi was like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered, desperately blocking Yi Yu's hand and spitting on the ground.
"Call you dishonest!" Yi Yu raised Sikong Xi's hand, threw him on the bed, and turned around.
"I already know the general situation, let's talk about the next plan." Yi Yu looked at the two people standing in front of him, remembered something, got up and handed the stool that Sikong Xi was sitting on earlier to Gu Key, "When you come, you want to be dusty, let your girl rest for a while." ”
"Hello." Gu Jian placed the stool on Gu Qi's side and asked her to sit down, "This is the general who led me in Wushu City, and he is also my eldest brother. ”
"Ji'er thanked Director Yi, but Ji'er is not tired, so let Brother Key sit......" Gu Yu shook his head and stood behind Gu Key again.
Yi Yu squinted slightly, and found something special about the young girl in front of him. Gu Jian didn't say his surname directly, and this girl could find out, I think she noticed Sikong Xi's unobstructed mouth and said it before. I have a heart.
Sikong Xi sat on the edge of the bed and wanted to say something. But when he saw Yi Yu's eyes, he stopped his mouth again.
"Sure enough, he is worthy of being a member of the ancient family of the Liexun City Wang Clan," Yi Yu sat on the side of the desk, looked at the ancient key that was slowly seated, and pushed out another cup.
The cup contained half a warm glass of wine, which had been prepared in advance for the ancient key. He had drunk a lot of glasses, but he still didn't feel a little drunk, and he didn't know if it was because of the increased amount of alcohol he had drunk or because of the more secrets behind the scenes, which made him unable to relax.
"Director, don't see the outside, Ji'er is very lively, but I'm just a little scared." Gu Key glanced back at Gu Qi and laughed. Gu Qi's little face turned red and buried his head deeply.
"Tomorrow we will really carry out the task assigned by the governor, and with you now, is it possible?" Yi Yu's eyes swept over the two of Gu Key, and settled on Gu Yu's face.
Gu Yu quietly looked up at Yi Yu, and suddenly lowered his head, and whispered, "Director Yi...... I won't trouble you. ”
"The Ancient Key will be distracted, that will hurt him." Yi Yu ignored Gu Yu, just looked at Gu Key, "How is it?" ”
"Director, what do you say...... What how. Gu Jian looked at the wine cup on the table, stretched out his hand to take it back, and his eyebrows were indeed a little wrinkled.
But Yi Yu snatched the wine jug in a short instant, and there was a strange light flashing in his eyebrows.
"Ancient Key, you still don't say it? If you keep it hidden, do you really think it's good for Miss Gu Qi? Yi Yu took a deep breath.
Gu Qi beside her was stunned, but she bit her lip tightly and didn't say anything.
"Director, you sent someone to spy on me?" Gu Jian was a little angry at Yi Yu's actions, he clenched his cup tightly, and also glared at Yi Yu, "This is not like you, Director. ”
"It's all off-topic. That's not what I'm asking," Yi Yu drank the last half of the wine, "you're running away." ”
The dim oil lamp was placed on a cramped small table, and the rising oil smoke rose into the air, eventually adsorbing to a small piece of the ceiling wall to collect the oil smoke. Due to the special airtight treatment, the room, which is not large, is filled with a little warmth.
"I didn't run away, I just chose the optimal solution." Gu Jian looked at Yi Yu deeply, "Brother Yi, you would never have thought that when we came to Liesun City, we would be delayed by a subordinate, right?" But you can't say it clearly, do you? ”
"You've only guessed half right, maybe you would never have thought that the things you confided to me in the Martial Arts City would be deeply remembered by me, right?" Yi Yu couldn't help but laugh.
Gu Key was stunned and stumbled, "You...... You mean, you already knew? ”
"This girl named Ji'er is so beautiful." Yi Yu glanced at Gu Key, and said to himself, "If I could have met such a girl at the beginning, I would be willing to put down the task in my hand and drag her onto my war horse, and I have to tighten her up for fear that she will run away." ”
"A pair of apricot eyes that are soft like water are really admired by men. Right, Ancient Key? Yi Yu pinched the cup, touched the corner of the oil lamp, and took it back.
And Gu Jiao beside Gu Key was already red, and his palms were full of sweat.
"That's you!" Gu Key let out a low roar, "It's not me! It's not what Ji'er thinks! ”
"Okay, I don't want to delve too much into that little of yours, let's talk about something else first." Yi Yu sneered.
"Director, are you laughing at me?" Gu Jian raised his eyes to look at Yi Yu, and his eyes seemed to have red-hot coals.
"Can't you hear the ridicule? If you're not a child, how can you behave like a child? Yi Yu raised his eyebrows.
"Then what else you said......" The ancient key stopped talking.
"Of course, it's still about you." Yi Yu said lightly.
"Or is it about me?" Gu Key was stunned.
"As far as I know, your good brother is going to marry your girl, right?" Yi Yu had a different look on his face, "It's a pity that such a good girl." ”
"Director, what the hell are you trying to say?" Gu Key's face was gloomy again. His eyebrows touched the gloomy look of Gu Qi beside him, and something in his heart twitched violently.
"Don't you try to resist? Key Kid. ”
Gu Key froze.
"Director! You ......"
"Huh...... Don't worry, haven't you forgotten the cruel words you put down in the ancient mansion? Yi Yu smiled again.
"Is the director willing to accompany me to make trouble?" Gu Key finally laughed along, and the haze in his heart gradually dissipated.
"You kid don't have to make an inch!" Yi Yu scolded with a smile, personally stood up and filled the wine cup with only half a glass in Gu Key's hand, filled it with wine, and pushed it over, "Drink, sleep well tonight." ”
"Tomorrow we're going to meet Lu Chi, the ruler of Liesun City, right?" Gu Jian took a sip of wine and asked again.
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have come back in such a hurry." Yi Yu looked at Sikong Xi, who was sitting on the side thinking nonsense.
Gu Key also looked over and laughed, "This kid, since he came to Liexun, he hasn't spent a lot of money!" ”
"Brother Key......" Gu Qi quietly tugged at the hem of Gu Key's clothes, and stopped talking.
"Hu'er?"
"Otherwise, I'll go back today, otherwise my uncle will be angry again." Gu Qi whispered.
"Don't worry, I've got a separate room for you." Yi Yu looked at the girl's timid eyes, and his eyebrows gradually softened, "It's near here, you know." That's what I personally prepared for the two of you. ”
"Go, it's not too early. Tomorrow is going to be an early wake-up. ”
Gu Jian didn't say anything, he drank the wine syrup in the cup in one gulp, and hugged Gu Qi horizontally. provoked a low cry from below.
"Brother Key......" Gu Yu buried his face deep in Gu Key's chest, not daring to look at him.
"Ji'er has grown up, but this guts seem to be getting smaller and smaller?" Gu Key quipped.
"There is no ......"
Yi Yu smiled and shook his head, walked through the intimate two, and opened the door for the ancient key. It took him a long time to walk out before he finally closed the door.
"Don't worry, I'll be with you." His voice was low and powerful.
The ancient key, which had disappeared into the darkness, froze suddenly, and his steps became faster and faster.
……
After a long silence, Yi Yu heard a knock on the door. He remembered Wu Cai's reasoning in the wine shop on the outskirts of the city before.
Who is the mole, this is the person he must find out before the mission.
"Guest officer, I brought you the wine you wanted." The people outside the door seemed to be in a hurry, and the knock on the door couldn't help but be harsh.
"It's coming!" Sikong Xi looked at Yi Yu who was sitting on the edge of the desk, a little strange. He quickly opened the door and brought in the little servant's warm wine.
He put the wine jug in front of Yi Yu and asked hesitantly, "Director, what did you say Senior Brother was worried about?" ”
"You read his thoughts?" Yi Yu asked subconsciously.
"No, I just think you seem a little weird." Sikong Xi muttered quietly.
Yi Yu smiled, didn't bother with the pot of wine syrup, and lay straight on the bed, kowtowing his eyes, "It's not strange, let's talk about it later." ”
Sikong Xi looked at Yi Yu on the bed in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
