Chapter 25: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
After all, Uncle Xu was willing to take them in last night, thanks to Ning Xi's guarantee.
"It's only two days away from Jiangnan at most, and he can go there himself. Probably because he was really about to reach his destination, Yan Lie was in a rare mood and explained two sentences.
Taking advantage of his good mood, he asked Ai Ai during the long period: "After walking together for so long, we can be regarded as born and died together, right?
"Good. ”
This answer was too crisp, so that Bang Xi couldn't believe that the surprise came so suddenly, "Really?"
"I never break my word. ”
Yan Lie's voice came into his ears clearly in the wind, obviously as cold as ever, but he could distinguish the solemnity that could not be misunderstood.
"You did help me in Zhoucheng, and this is what I owe you. ”
"Great!" said Wan Xi with a happy brow, so she didn't have to think about how to escape.
"Just one thing," Yan Lie paused, his tone sank, "what you see in Dingjiabao and Wuyong Villa, and everything about me, you must keep your mouth shut." ”
"No problem. Bang Xi agreed, and even raised his hand and swore an oath, "You don't have to worry, I won't interfere in everything in the world, and I will naturally treat your affairs as if I don't know." ”
"The world?" noticing her strange words, Yan Lie scoffed, "You seem to be from outside the world." ”
Bang Xi didn't answer this question, rolled his eyes, and asked, "Why, you don't believe that there is a place outside the world?"
Out-of-this-world?
Perhaps.
Yan Lie's eyes flashed with a hint of sneer, if there really is such a place, why is there so much suffering in this world? and why, no one has ever found it?
The land outside the world, the paradise world, is just the last glimmer of hope left by the poor people who have suffered deeply.
He put the question behind him in the blink of an eye, whipped his horse, and headed south.
......
After entering the territory of Jiangnan, the journey was smooth, they only landed in a small town, changed a carriage, and traveled for another day overnight, and finally arrived at the destination of this trip.
The way here is also a lot of disasters and difficulties, first by the people of the Ming King Valley set a trap, and then on the road encountered the evil cultivator robbery and killing, and now successfully arrived, quite a feeling of cultivating a positive result.
The carriage slowly stopped in front of the bustling city, facing the sun, squinting his eyes and looking up at the big font engraved on the city gate, he involuntarily read it out.
"Jiangdu. ”
The people at the city gate were endless, rubbing shoulders with each other, and it was the first time she saw so many people after entering the WTO, and her mood couldn't help but jump.
I heard that Jiangdu is the center of the entire Jiangnan and the most prosperous place in the south, so there must be many new things in the city.
Yan Lie glanced at her, not knowing what she was happy about.
Judging by this girl's reaction, it was as if she had never seen such a place, could it be that her home, or her sect, was in some very remote place?
"Aren't we going into town?"
Bang Xi was thinking about entering the city to see the prosperous beauty of the world, but Yan Lie turned the carriage around and went in the direction of the suburbs.
"If you don't enter, Zhuge is not in the city. Finally about to see Zhuge Qing, he couldn't help but relax.
Compared with drunken students, Zhuge can be regarded as much more amiable.
Jiangdu City is built on the waterfront, and the continuous lake leads from the city to the outside of the city, and the scenery is different, so many wealthy families love to buy villas on the outskirts of the city, and occasionally come here to live and enjoy themselves.
Mr. Zhuge is no exception, full of love for comfort and enjoyment.
Soon after, the wagon's vibrations subsided and stopped again.
This time, we have really arrived at our destination.
Bang Xi couldn't hold it for a long time, jumped off the car flexibly, looked around, only to see the bluestone steps, ten miles of willow forest, sparkling blue water, there is only one family on the low mountainside in front, the vermilion lacquer gate, two red lanterns are hung at the door.
It's just that the host's house seems to be more than one of them today, and there are several carved and painted pineapple wooden carriages parked on the other side of the road, which are not too ostentatious, and imply the momentum of wealth and nobility.
At a glance, there was no obvious sign on the carriage, and it was clear that the visitor had no intention of revealing his identity.
The two of them climbed the stairs, and when they reached the gate, Yan Lie did not call the door, but only snapped his fingers, and the wicks of the two lanterns were lit on the ground.
Sure enough, it's the same as the plot in the book, Bang Xi thought to himself, those mysterious masters have their own set of rules, and they can't be seen casually.
Fortunately, she caught the line of Yan Lie.
He waited patiently, and after a short time, the vermilion gate suddenly opened slowly to the sides, and a very beautiful maid came out.
She seemed to know their identities and intentions, and bowed slightly to the two of them and said, "Sir is meeting guests, please come with me." "The sound is like a lark, tactful and beautiful.
"Mr. Zhuge shouldn't be some kind of royal relative, right?" Wan Xi covered her mouth beside Yan Lie and said, she had only heard from her predecessors who had entered the world before, and the imperial relatives of the world were all powerful, and the beautiful maids in the family were like clouds, what kind of thing did she want, she was still a little envious at that time.
"Imperial relatives?" Yan Lie's tone was indifferent and nonchalant, "What are they?" ”
Is it that the information of the predecessors is too old, and the world outside has already been turned upside down, or is it that Lord Baique and his friends are too big?
The maidservants led them into a flower hall, and then another maid streamed in and served them tea and snacks.
People are beauties, tea is good tea, and the snacks are also very exquisite, leaning on the soft pillows, looking at this room, I feel that today's horizons have been opened up a lot.
Not...... To put it mildly, at least she had never sat on such a soft and comfortable cushion, so soft that people would not move it.
She propped her cheeks and turned her head to look at Yan Lie, he was contemplating what he was thinking, ignoring the beauties coming and going in front of him, and he was still sitting upright in this gentle and wealthy township, and it became more and more that he was slender and straight, like an abyss.
After drinking about five or six cups of tea, she suddenly heard the sound of conversation from far and near, and her ears moved slightly, and she felt that several of them seemed to have been heard somewhere, and they were very familiar when they broke into the room.
Since she was sitting by the window, it was very convenient to look in the direction from which the voice came from, and it didn't matter if she didn't look at it, which made her startled and straightened up from her seat.
Where do you not meet in the world, but the road is narrow.
Thinking about the carriages at the door, the wealth and momentum, what else did she not understand?
