Chapter 40: Undisturbed melancholy is madness (1)
Two days after Luo Yao and Qing Ling left Wutong Town, another group of people knocked on Xian Xian's back door.
Led by a beautiful woman in white, her speech and demeanor were very cold and arrogant, and after looking at Xian Xian lightly, she turned her head slightly and didn't look at her anymore.
The son who followed her was very courteous, and after saluting with a smile, he praised the scenery in the garden, and bluntly said that the scenery was beautiful, and only in this way could he be worthy of the beauty of the master's family.
Xian Xian runs several Qinglou businesses in the town, and is used to seeing men's flattering faces, but the son in front of him, wearing a azure brocade robe, holding a white jade bone fan in his hand, speaks with a soft accent unique to Lingxiao City, and immediately throws out the merchants and soldiers in the town as soon as he speaks.
Xian Xianjiao smiled: "Childe is really good at talking, how can we compare with the Zhumen embroidery household in Lingxiao City in a poor and remote country?" ”
Chun Yuyan shook his fan and was about to answer, but was cut off by the woman next to him in a cold voice: "Since you are here to pick up people, please hurry up!" ”
Jiuye on the side rolled his eyes, looked at his own miss, and then looked at Chun Yuyan, his round face was full of sadness.
According to the explanation of the prince, he tracked down the person who answered Mu Chen, and it took a lot of effort to stop one of them. If it weren't for the purple jade ring holding Mu Chen in his hand, I was afraid that the other party would have taken his life with an arrow......
Finally persuaded the gang, and Miss Ning Yan came over again. Knowing that the prince left with Mu Chen, the young lady's eyes at that moment could be described as a cold light......
finally persuaded everyone who was now trapped on a ship to cooperate with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, and Chun Yuyan, who was injured by the prince, was involved again.
Chun Yuyan had just woken up from a coma at that time, his face was pale, his face was rare solemn and serious, and he bowed to Ning Yanchang and said, "Yan has offended, and I am willing to let Miss punish me." At present, she also implored the young lady to put the overall situation first and help the inferior people find the prince. ”
Ning Yan was worried about Baili's involvement in the royal family dispute, and when he saw that the person behind the scenes was Chun Yuyan, who burned his clothes and spoke evil during the competition, he was even more secretly angry, and said coldly: "What does your bureau have to do with me?" Don't think that if you implicate my brother, you can blackmail me! If you can't control your mouth, I don't mind pulling the entire Chunyu clan into the water! ”
She has been in charge of family affairs since she was a teenager, and she has long been familiar with negotiation and bargaining in the business field, and at this time, she clearly knew that Luo Yao had made Baili's family suspected of aiding the rebels in one fell swoop, and she was still awe-inspiring on the surface, and she would never fall behind.
Chun Yuyan didn't care, just smiled lightly and said yes.
All the way south, no matter how cold Ning Yan is, Chun Yuyan always has a humble attitude and a gentleman's demeanor. When passing through Jingjiang, the Chaoyan guards chased after him, but it was also Chun Yuyan who covered Ning Yan and others and led away the pursuers alone, and the mount was seriously injured by the guard's crossbow arrows.
Afterwards, Ning Yan's attitude towards Chun Yuyan did not improve, but became more and more cold, and there was even a bit of ridicule between his words from time to time.
Jiuye sighed secretly in his heart, it seems that this Liang Zi of Chun Yuyan and Miss Yu is deeply knotted! Although the young lady has always been cold, she has never been so concerned about anyone......
Nian Ying, who was beside Xian Xian, whispered: "This is my young lady, Baili Ningyan." ”
Xian Xian looked at Ning Yan carefully, and saw that her facial features were indeed somewhat similar to Luo Yao, and the two brothers and sisters were both peerless beauties with stunning appearances. It's just that, compared with Luo Yao's kind of graceful and handsome, this Miss Baili is as cold as the ice of the extreme north. Xian Xian is used to dealing with all kinds of characters, but she is the most unaccustomed to seeing a woman who is self-assured and tall, if it weren't for Luo Yao's face, she really didn't want to deal with Baili Ningyan.
Chun Yuyan smiled at Ning Yan, the tears under the corners of his eyes rose slightly, and his tone was exaggeratedly elongated, "Ah, thank you Miss Baili for reminding me." ”
He turned to Xian Xian, "The injured person brought by Baili Gongzi the day before yesterday is a friend of Xia. This time, I came to pick him up. ”
Xian Xian instructed the maid to lead Chun Yuyan to the east wing, glanced at Ning Yan, and deliberately raised his voice, "You don't have to rush to pick up people." That son's current physical condition is probably not suitable for travel. Don't kill people, all your previous efforts are wasted, and you tear your face together. ”
Chun Yuyan and several entourages behind him followed the maid into Mu Chen's room.
Mu Chen was sitting cross-legged on the couch with his eyes closed, his snow-like white clothes fluttering slightly, and his body seemed to be shrouded in abundant aura.
Hearing the movement, he slowly opened his eyes, and a cold sharp edge flashed in his eyes, and disappeared in an instant.
Before Chun Yuyan could speak, the people accompanying him had already stepped forward and bowed down in front of Mu Chen, "Your Highness! ”
The leader had a clear face, a thin body, and a shallow scar on his left cheek.
Mu Chen got up from the couch and bent down to help him up, "Get up, Xun." ”
Xun lowered his head and clenched his fists, "It's too late!" Please forgive your sins! ”
He has followed Mu Chen since he was a child, although he is only the prince's personal guard in name, but in terms of loyalty and bravery, he is not inferior to the children of any famous family.
A year ago, Mu Chen was deposed as the prince, and he lost his spiritual power due to the punishment of heavenly thunder. Emperor Hao ordered him not to set foot in the border of Chaoyan for the rest of his life, but secretly sent his cronies to escort him on a ship bound for the Western Continent.
Xun took a few loyal subordinates and rescued Mu Chen at sea.
After that, under the guidance of Ling Huan, Mu Chen went to Chongwu to seek the divine power of the Red Soul Bead. According to the agreement, Xun stayed outside Chongwu Mountain on the day of the Ganyuan Conference, but he didn't expect Mu Han to send more than a dozen forbidden army masters to pursue, so he had to temporarily change his plan and try his best to lead away the pursuers......
"What are you guilty of?" Mu Chen raised his hand and pressed it lightly on Xun's shoulder, and his gaze slowly swept over the people behind him, "You follow me regardless of life and death, you are loyal and fearless, I will remember Yan Muchen in my heart." ”
After a pause, he added, "The hardest days are over. It is a blessing for me to be able to survive and regain my divine strength after a desperate gamble. The road to the future is long and difficult, but you have to follow you, although you have no regrets! ”
Seeing that he was able to use spiritual power to heal his wounds, everyone was overjoyed, and secretly sighed that the Red Soul Bead was worthy of being an ancient artifact with infinite power.
After explaining the matter, Mu Chen and Chun Yuyan moved into the inner compartment.
Chun Yuyan folded the fan, handed back the purple jade ring used as a token to Mu Chen, and continued to talk about the events that happened after the Gan Yuan Conference, "When Xun brought the people of the Baili clan to me, I couldn't believe my eyes! The Marquis of Daze has always been reluctant to meddle in the political affairs of Chaoyan, and he is more like a fox than me. I really can't figure it out, why did the prince of Osawa come to save you? ”
Mu Chen's eyes drooped slightly, and he took the ring and rubbed it gently, "It's not me who he wants to save, but his senior sister." ”
Chun Yuyan touched his chin and thought, "But that guy is the son of Daze." In order to disobey the order of the Emperor in the same door, wouldn't the price be too great? That person didn't look like a person who would trade at a loss, but he didn't expect that he was quite infatuated. ”
Mu Chen's fingertip movements paused, and a trace of irritability unconsciously added to his tone, "After all, they have the friendship of the same family, and there is nothing strange that he can't bear to see her die in vain." ”
Chun Yuyan raised his eyes to study Mu Chen's expression, and the smile on his lips gradually became interesting.
"But I look at that little beauty, and all my thoughts are tied to you. Do you know that because she made such a fuss, the entire Chongwu suffered with it, and was ordered by Mu Han to seal the mountain, and he refused to let him go even in and out of the ordinary. ”
Mu Chen raised his eyes when he heard this, and there was a slight surprise in his eyes.
Chongwu is one of the three sacred mountains in the Eastern Continent, and has been revered since ancient times, and even Emperor Hao had to give three points to the Holy Emperor of Moqian. And now, Mu Han dared to seal Chongwu without authorization?
Chun Yuyan seemed to have guessed Mu Chen's thoughts, and continued: "It's not that you don't know that Mu Han's impression in the hearts of the courtiers has always been that of a child who relies on his mother for everything. Now that he wants to fight for the position of the prince and is eager to establish his authority, in front of the major families in the Eastern Continent, how can he easily give up and let this matter be over? ”
Mu Chen was silent.
Although the person who ordered the closure of the mountain was Mu Han, Emperor Hao did not intervene to stop it. If it weren't for Emperor Hao's secret instructions, Mu Han might not have the courage to do so.
Could it be that my father also secretly wants to see Chongwu decline, and wants to take the opportunity to uproot another holy mountain whose reputation surpasses Chaoyan?
Chun Yuyan pursed his lips and asked again: "How are you going to use this chess piece of Daze Shizi?" If we force him into the game now, we won't have a small chance of winning. ”
Mu Chen shook his head, "He's not an easy person to control, and his identity is too special. I don't have enough strength to convince him now, and if I do it reluctantly, the slightest deviation will give him the power to overturn. ”
Chun Yuyan moved his lips, he wanted to say that you are holding his beautiful senior sister in your hand, and it is not difficult to restrain that guy, but then he remembered Mu Chen's expression that leaked his thoughts for no reason just now, and swallowed the words back silently.
Mu Chen also seemed to think of something, raised his eyes and asked, "Is there any festival between you and the prince of Daze?" On the day of the Gan Yuan Competition, why did he show mercy to others, but seriously injured you alone? ”
On the day of the competition, Chun Yuyan burned the skirt of Baili Ning Yan with the Yantian Chain. But because of the sudden fog on the surface of the pool, except for a few people standing nearby, no one could see what had happened at the bottom......
Chun Yuyan remembered Ning Yan's slap, his heart was full of feelings, he laughed, and said, "This matter is a long story......
At this moment, the door of the outer compartment was suddenly pushed open, and Baili Ningyan walked straight in.
The guards, who were both admiring and in awe of this frosty Miss Baili, hurriedly got up and saluted.
Ning Yan nodded lightly, and after glancing around, he lifted the curtain and stepped into the inner compartment quickly.
She didn't squint, and said to Chun Yuyan: "Since you have found the person you want to answer, please leave as soon as possible!" ”
Chun Yuyan opened the folding fan and shook it, pacing close to Ning Yan's side, and said with a smile: "Why are you so anxious? Come, let me first introduce you to Your Highness. ”
Ning Yan suddenly turned to the side and said coldly, "There is no His Highness here. If you don't leave, don't blame me for chasing customers! ”
She still hasn't figured out why her brother suddenly stepped in to help Chaoyan Muchen. But at the moment, there is no time to investigate the details of the branches, as long as Mu Chen is sent away as soon as possible and this matter is left clean, the Baili clan is not too deeply implicated.
Chun Yuyan looked dead-skinned, "How can that work?" At the very least, I have to meet my son and thank him personally. ”
"He's not here now!"
"I know."
Chun Yuyan walked to the side of the case, poured himself a cup of tea, leaned to his lips and pursed it, his eyes slowly moved from Ning Yan's body to Mu Chen's face, "Xian Xian told me that he took Chongwu's little beauty out to play......"
Mu Chen lowered his eyes slightly, hiding the emotion in his eyes. Ning Yan's face was slightly red, "You don't talk about my brother!" Open and close your mouth about this beauty, that beauty, don't think everyone is as dirty as you! ”
Chun Yuyan laughed twice, and said seriously: "People are originally beauties, but I'm just telling the truth." Do you have to say that your brother is leading an ugly girl on a trip to make you feel decent? ”
"You!" Ning Yan glared angrily.
She has been with the royal marquis since she was a child, managing the affairs of the clan as the mistress of the Baili clan, and the people she comes into contact with are all in awe and respect for her. Encountering a scoundrel like Chun Yuyan really made her feel helpless like never before.
He was born in a famous family, and his cultivation can be regarded as the best among the children of the family. But what impressed Ning Yan the most was the way he rushed to rescue Mu Chen with a pale face that had not healed from his serious injuries, and bowed in front of him in a low voice full of worry. And that day, he led away the chasing soldiers of the forbidden army alone, and after the horse Extremely Happy Bird lost his left flank miserably, he endured his sadness and pretended to be relaxed......
Ning Yan intuitively felt that Chun Yuyan was not as bohemian as he appeared. On the contrary, he is a man of great affection. It's just that this affection never appears in his usual words.
The more she tried to see him clearly, the more she felt confused and frustrated......
Hundreds of miles of smoke flicked out of the curtain.
Chun Yuyan lowered his head and sipped his tea, and sighed silently.
Mu Chen's gaze quickly crossed over the two of them, but he didn't say a word.
