Chapter 837: Assassination
Sitting upright in the house, today, Li Sui didn't come to find Ye Jinyu. Thinking about it, I didn't return last night, and I went to court early this morning, and I left in a hurry, I must have been overwhelmed by Chu Yunfeng's affairs, and now is the time when I am sleepy.
bored, after Ye Jinyu picked up the ugly slave, he didn't know what to do. Since I came here, I have been reading and painting a lot.
Jingling, dressed in palace clothes, the ugly slave is holding a tea tray, with a red rope tied to his ankles, and a bell hanging on the rope. Although this has long been disqualified for her, how can Ye Jinyu care? Just be happy.
Straightening his waist, Ye Jinyu took the tea tray from the ugly slave's hand and said, "It's hard work." β
The girl shook her head, indicating that she was not tired, but she did not open her mouth to talk to Ye Jinyu. Since just now, the flush on the ugly slave's cheeks has not disappeared for a long time, as if it cannot be dissipated.
Sitting silently next to Ye Jinyu side by side, the ugly slave even breathed heavily.
Drinking tea by himself, Ye Jinyu coughed twice in embarrassment, startling someone to the opposite side of him. The ugly slave knew that he had overpassed.
Picking up the teacup, Ye Jinyu took a sip of tea, and when he looked up, it was the affectionate eyes condensed in his body, so gentle that people didn't dare to look at it directly, and the pulse made people speechless. It was difficult to adapt to teaching Ye Jinyu for a while.
Getting up and turning into the house, he completely disappeared from the ugly slave's vision. Leaning against the wall, Ye Jinyu lowered his head dejectedly - he became more and more inferior.
Looking up again, there are rows of books in front of me, antique, all of which are treasures that can be handed down to the world.
Looking at the rows of books, among which there were also bamboo slips, Ye Jinyu was fascinated for a while. He stepped forward and gently stroked the yellowed booklets, his fingertips stained with filth and dust on his heartβa long time had passed.
Familiar names, vividly; The familiar sound of books is still in my ears. It's a pity that everything is like a world away, and people can't remember the details.
"The Wandering", "The Analects", "The Diamond Sutra", ......"
"Lisao", "Ghost Knife", "Lotus Flower".
The familiar book suddenly broke into his eyes, like a reunion of old friends after many years, and for a while, there were tears in his eyes, and he whispered: "Ruxin, white foam......"
The two of them, like the two of them, are long gone all at once. Some people will never be seen again...... Some people have fallen to the end of the world in his unknown world
Carefully take it down, there is no secret book that cannot be sealed at all, which is really nostalgic. It's a pity that they are all scattered
Walk out of the room with these two books. Outside the house, the ugly slave put her hands on her abdomen, silently waiting in place, watching Ye Jinyu unconsciously walk towards her, not getting closer, but moving some distance back, leaving Ye Jinyu to sit down.
Cross-legged, Ye Jinyu rubbed the two books that were said to have been inherited for a long time, and he felt a little bad in his heart, the peerless secret book was abandoned in his hands, if it was known by Bai Mo, it would be really ridiculous, and maybe he would be ridiculed again.
Slowly clenched his fists, clenching tighter and tighter, Ye Jinyu actually remembered practicing martial arts for a while-thinking of Chu Yunfeng's mockery of him in front of Li Sui last time, he who was originally indisputable with the world didn't know why he re-ignited his determination.
"Wen can put pen to paper to calm the world, and Wu can go to the horse to determine the world." Ye Jinyu should have expected it, "He used to be really a nerd......
"Sha Sha Sha-" The ugly slave crawled towards Ye Jinyu, looking at his red eyes, some tears were rolling there, and he felt uncomfortable.
Quietly raised his sleeves, and the ugly slave silently wiped away her tears for Ye Jinyu.
"Thank you......"
Without speaking, the ugly slave nodded in Ye Jinyu's afterglow.
"Your Highness, what are you?" shouldn't be talkative, but it can't stand the curiosity of the ugly slave. Ordinary people wouldn't answer, or even reprimand, and when they arrived at Ye Jinyu, they all turned into chuckles, "Old friend, some old things for me." β
That's right, but the ugly slave said angrily: "Your Highness is not old!" β
Looking at a girl of the same age as himself who was so serious, Ye Jinyu burst into tears and laughed, and said a few "yes, yes, yes".
As the saying goes, "Beat the snake on the stick." Taking this opportunity, the ugly slave asked Li Junci "unrelentingly", "By the way, Your Highness, what is your identity?" β
Stunned, Ye Jinyu smiled and quipped: "You call me Your Highness, and you don't know my identity." β
"I only know that those who live in such big houses are called Your Highness."
"And the waiter, too?"
The ugly slave bowed his head and was speechless. didn't say it explicitly, she also knew that the people in His Majesty's mouth were eunuchs, of course, including her "palace maids" outside the system. But this kind of rhetoric can be regarded as taking care of her face - as long as she doesn't look down on herself, she doesn't count, does she?
Without waiting for the ugly slave to answer, Ye Jinyu said directly, "I am the child of the Ye family in the former dynasty, and now I am temporarily living in the palace, if you want to count, I am almost equivalent to a prince." β
The ugly slave seemed to understand whether she understood or not, nodded, leaned into Ye Jinyu's ear, and whispered, "Then how do you compare to those two or three grade masters?" "Be careful, for fear of someone hearing about it.
Ye Jinyu glanced at it obliquely, and he knew a little in his heart, but his mouth was careless, "Compared to them, I'm stronger......
Looking at the ugly slave again, she was already breathless and much more at ease.
With two books in hand, Ye Jinyu beckoned the ugly slave to clean up, and prepared to go out together.
After talking to Wu Han and understanding that Li Sui was making up for sleep at the moment, Ye Jinyu was at ease. With the ugly slave, the two went out of the palace gate together. This time, they went to Xue's mansion, which is now the mansion of Xue Wu, the "national abbot".
The market is bustling, but the territory of this dignitary is a little quiet.
The sons of each family are now dealing with their studies "in their own right", but they are thinking about the lingering night in their minds. Of course, this is only a small group of people who do not learn and do not know how to do it, and for more gentlemen, they are not really gentlemen.
Xue Mansion is very close to the palace, but it has recently changed to a new location. With the return of the Xue family to the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is announced that this once glorious family has completed their revival after its decline.
Ye Jinyu led the ugly slave to the door of the Xue Mansion. Looking at the plaque, the ugly slave was in a trance for a while and stopped moving. 16 reading
On this trip, Ye Jinyu naturally took his purpose - to find Xue Wu to practice martial arts, and his attention to the ugly slave behind him was a little less at this moment.
"Knock knockβ"
With a knock on the door, the doorkeeper in the house opened the door for Ye Jinyu, and seeing that it was him, the doorman who had been submissive was a little more careful, and greeted Ye Jinyu diligently.
first bowed down and saluted, and then the door official glanced into the mansion with his hand, signaling Ye Jinyu and the ugly slave to enter the mansion.
Shaking his head, Ye Jinyu did not raise his feet, nor did he respond, and said to himself: "Is Lord Xue at home?" β
"Yes, yes." After the doorman finished speaking, he ran towards the mansion, ran to Xue Wu, and told him about it.
"My lord, King Ning is here."
On the seat, Xue Wu, who was drinking tea, was stunned, "What King Ning?" β
Seeing that he didn't react, the door official slapped his thigh, "It's the child of the Ye family, although he refused the fief a few days ago, His Royal Highness still gave him a position, oops!" It's the former prince! β
"Oh." Nodding indifferently, Xue Wu didn't care about the so-called "King Ning" His Royal Highness, although he was surprised by Ye Jinyu's boldness that day, but seeing that he hadn't made any waves so far, he was no longer curious about him, let alone concerned.
Now, Li Sui's throne is getting more and more stable, if there are no variables, his position as an uncle can be passed on to his next generation. As for the little Ye Jinyu, if Li Sui is kind, he can still keep his life; If Li Sui is bored, he doesn't need him to help the trouble, then Ye Jinyu can turn into that powder in an instant.
There is no fief and the vain call of "King Ning" is nothing more than a joke. Thinking of this, Xue Wu couldn't help but look down on Ye Jinyu even more.
"Your Excellency."
"Alright, alright." Xue Wu waved his hand, put down the tea bowl, got up, and patted his clothes, "I'll go see him." β
After waiting for a long time, Ye Jinyu still didn't see Xue Wu's figure; Behind him, the ugly slave was a writhing picture, quite uneasy.
"Your Highness, do you want to ...... Let's go......"
Looking back in confusion, Ye Jinyu found that the ugly slave couldn't even stand on his feet, and hurriedly helped, "What's wrong?" Sick? β
Shaking his head, the ugly slave's face was ugly, but he still couldn't bear to speak, just lowered his head and didn't look in the direction of the Xue Mansion.
Looking back, Ye Jinyu looked at the big plaque, her eyes showed doubts, and then at the ugly slave, her face was even more blue and white.
"Do you have any connections to this Xue Mansion?" As he spoke, the strength in Ye Jinyu's hand inadvertently increased a little.
Shrinking back, the ugly slave was even more frightened, her body trembled slightly, she hugged herself tightly, her forehead overflowed with sweat, and her face turned pale.
"Ah, it turned out that His Royal Highness King Ning had arrived, and he was disappointed!" Inside the house, Xue Wu took a stride and walked quickly towards Ye Jinyu, clenching his fists.
had no time to take care of the ugly slave, Ye Jinyu turned around and replied with a salute, "No hindrance, no hindrance." β
Behind him, the ugly slave was barely standing on his knees. Under the cover of Ye Jinyu's body, he didn't show too many "flaws". Bow your head, bend over, and there is nothing abnormal.
Although Xue Wu is a little crooked, he is quite straightforward to people and things, and his speech is also straight to the point, "Your Highness is here this time, what are you doing?" β
Ye Jinyu bowed again, took out the "Lotus Flower" and "Ghost Knife" that he carried with him from his sleeve, and presented them in front of Xue Wu, "I want to practice this exercise, but the position in the palace is too small to toss around." I heard that there is a martial arts training ground in the adult's house, and the facilities are complete, so I want to borrow it. β
Taking the two books, Xue Wu flipped a few pages at random. The cheats are fine, and they are not evil, but there is always a little anxiety in his heart, "What if...... This kid learned this exercise because he wanted to assassinate His Majesty......"
"It's not right, it's not right!" Xue Wu said twice in a row, and hurriedly handed the book back, which was considered a refusal.
Keeping an eye on Ye Jinyu, if he dared to make the next move, Xue Wu would definitely denounce him.
Helpless, Ye Jinyu took the ugly slave and turned around to leave.
Feeling the tenderness from the palm of his hand, the ugly slave who was originally like a deer in his heart was also at peace.
Leading the ugly slave, Ye Jinyu was ready to go to the next place. Even if he is rejected, he is not reluctant, after all, not everyone has to sell his face and think about it.
But behind him, Xue Wu hurriedly summoned a junior in the family, pointed to the direction of Ye Jinyu's departure, and said a self-made statement, "Boy, that Ye Jinyu has two exercises in his hands, and it is very likely that he practiced it for the purpose of assassinating His Majesty." You go and keep an eye on him, and come back and report to me as soon as there is any situation! β
"Yes!" The junior of the Xue family nodded and hurriedly followed.
On the road, from the mansion of the dignitary to the civilian market, there were a lot more pedestrians. The colorful ornaments and fragrant delicacies, everything, made the ugly slave so excited, even the nervousness just now was forgotten by him.
Seeing that it is approaching noon, it is a good time to eat lunch.
Ye Jinyu was running around for her own trivial matters and had no concept of time, but her ugly slave could see the sky, and immediately proposed, "Your Highness......"
But before the words fell, the curious eyes of the people were all around, and they hurriedly covered the mouth of the ugly slave, Ye Jinyu hurriedly fled to another piece of traffic, looked at the robe on his body helplessly, and then glanced at the ugly slave beside him, and said: "Outside, it's better not to call me Your Highness, lest there be lawbreakers in the crowd who plot against you." β
As if she didn't understand, the ugly slave nodded, "Then what should I call you?" β
I don't know, Ye Jinyu didn't have a concept in his mind, so he waved his hand, "Whatever you want." β
"Then I'll call you Lord?" Nodding his lips, the ugly slave looked at Li Junci.
"No, it's still easy to expose." Ye Jinyu said, but he was duplicitous, he just wasn't used to this special identity.
Holding Li Junci's arm and rubbing it, the ugly slave blushed to herself, "Then I will call you Jinyu in the future." β
