Chapter 100 "Back to the Drunken Building"
The lifelike posture of the woman in the painting is exactly the same as in his memory, the slightly tall eyebrows, the peach blossom eyes with affection, and even the arc of the shallow smile and the pear vortex at the corner of the mouth are exactly the same, as well as the dignified and atmospheric posture, which is a noble elegance that cannot be compared with words.
If it is not unforgettable, how can this peerless city be painted.
Zhuge Qinghong let go of Xiao Xinyi and took the portrait from Jiang Yunkai's hands with both hands, and rolled it up carefully, he rolled it very lightly and slowly, just like when he was a child, Mu Huasheng held him in his arms and sang nursery rhymes gently.
Xiao Xinyi seemed to see the little boy ten years ago, holding his deceased mother's relics with tears in his eyes. Although his face was calm now, anyone could feel the sadness emanating from him.
The masked man didn't seem to be in a hurry, but he seemed to be a little tired, and his back, which had been straight, was slightly bent.
Although Xiao Xinyi couldn't see his face clearly, she could see that his eyes had been resting on the portrait that was rolling up little by little in Zhuge Qinghong's hand.
"I gave you such an important thing, how can you repay me?" The masked man asked when he saw Zhuge Qinghong roll up the portrait in his arms.
Zhuge Qinghong frowned and didn't say a word, the masked man looked at him and sighed and continued: "Okay, it's not difficult for me to be a junior today, the leader of the Zhuge League will be able to rush to Yongcheng tomorrow, this kind of thing still has to be discussed with him, as a reward for this painting, what you see and hear here today must be tight-lipped, and you can't say a word to the outside world." ”
Zhuge Qinghong and Xiao Xinyi didn't expect things to come to this point, and before the two of them could react, the masked man got up from the high seat and said to Jiang Yunkai, "Please send them out, Brother Jiang." ”
He didn't seem to worry at all that the two of them wouldn't reveal his obvious ambitions.
"I'm very grateful that you can give me the portrait of my mother, although I don't know the relationship between you and my mother, I think it must be a very close person, Qinghong as a junior, please think twice about the seniors, and you must not put the people's surnames as grass mustard until you have to, I will think about what you said after I go back, as for the county lord of Ningguo, please don't embarrass her." After Zhuge Qinghong finished speaking, he quietly looked at the masked man.
The masked man didn't say anything, and waved his hand to signal Jiang Yunkai to take them out, looking extremely tired.
Jiang Yunkai walked up to the two of them and said, "You two come with me." ”
After finishing speaking, he walked in front and led the way, but it was not in the direction where Xiao Xinyi and they came, but in the opposite direction, Zhuge Qinghong glanced at Xiao Xinyi after bowing to the mask man, then took her hand and followed behind Jiang Yunkai, and walked for about a stick of incense before he saw a staircase leading to the ground at the end of the road.
Jiang Yunkai didn't let them leave, just stood silently at the foot of the stairs with his back to them, Xiao Xinyi and Zhuge Qinghong were not in a hurry, the atmosphere was quiet and a little weird for a while, a beam of sunlight came down from nowhere just hit Jiang Yunkai's back, and there was a faint light on his black robe, but it was even more lonely.
"Childe, Xin'er will ask you to take more care of me in the future, let's go."
After speaking, Jiang Yunkai flicked his hand on the wall a few times, and there were several sounds similar to stones moving from above, and neither of them thought that he had been silent here for so long just to say this sentence.
Zhuge Qinghong looked at Xiao Xinyi, and saw that although there was no expression on her face, the eyes that fell on Jiang Yunkai contained hatred and disgust, and there were other emotions that he didn't understand, before that, it was difficult for him to imagine that Xiao Xinyi, who had always been indifferent, would have such complicated eyes.
Zhuge Qinghong saw that Xiao Xinyi was indifferent, so he replied to Jiang Yunkai: "Please rest assured that the seniors will definitely spend their lives protecting her." ”
Jiang Yunkai turned around, the sun hit his black hood, and the face under the shadow couldn't see the expression clearly, only to see him nod slightly and say to Xiao Xinyi: "Xin'er, I know you won't forgive me, when you avenge your grandfather and parents, your uncle will be at your disposal, and you will never complain if you want to kill or kill your uncle, but not now." ”
Xiao Xinyi glanced at him and didn't speak, bypassing him and stepping straight onto the stairs, at this moment, in front of the culprit who killed her whole family, she couldn't avenge her grandmother and parents, and the oath she made at the beginning was vulnerable in the face of reality.
Zhuge Qinghong arched his hand to Jiang Yunkai and did not speak, and walked up behind Xiao Xinyi. He glanced back before he walked out of the stairs, Jiang Yunkai was still standing in place, the sunlight that hit him just now had moved elsewhere, and at this time he looked like a black shadow, and he could only hide in the dark and look at the light in the distance.
Zhuge Qinghong sighed imperceptibly, turned his head and stopped looking at him, and when they walked out of the cave, the stone slab under their feet slowly moved until the hole was sealed. At this time, the two of them were in a forest, and looking at the thickness of the trees in the forest, they should have just been planted in recent years.
Xiao Xinyi had already walked to the edge of the woods in front, and Zhuge Qinghong took a few steps to catch up with her. Outside the forest was a large lake, crystal clear and sparkling, with large reeds in the lake, gently swaying with the breeze, making a pleasant rustling sound. It turned out that they had already walked out of the city along the underground passage, and the underground scale of the Falling Moon Villa was so huge. The breeze in the forest is gusting, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant by the lake, and it seems that even the scorching sun above your head has become cooler to walk here.
Xiao Xinyi walked to the lake, picked up a handful of water and washed her face, turned around and saw Zhuge Qinghong standing behind her stupidly, subconsciously taking a step back but forgetting that she was standing on the edge of the lake, and her feet were empty and she was about to fall into the lake. Zhuge Qinghong quickly grabbed her, and when she came back to her senses, she had fallen into Zhuge Qinghong's broad arms, Xiao Xinyi's face turned red and he was about to push him away, although Zhuge Qinghong held the portrait in one hand, he only used one hand to let Xiao Xinyi break free in his arms.
"Let it go." Xiao Xinyi's voice sounded a little angry.
"Xin'er, is what he said true?" When Zhuge Qinghong heard Xiao Xinyi's words, not only did he not let go, but increased his strength.
Xiao Xinyi didn't understand what he was asking, and asked confusedly: "What?" ”
"Is it true that he said you don't want to bother me?"
"It's not."
"This time you don't want to lie to me, I was confused before, and I actually believed your nonsense, but now I know what you think in your heart, you don't want to let me go again."
"This is not a matter between you and me, behind you is Zhuge Villa, and Zhuge Villa represents the entire martial arts, one wrong step and one wrong step, I must not be involved in this turmoil again because of my family."
"No, Xin'er, things are not as bad as you think, we will definitely have a way, as long as we work together, we will definitely overcome all difficulties, believe me once."
Xiao Xinyi didn't answer, she believed everything he said, but she didn't dare to gamble with his future.
When the two returned to Zuisheng Building, the sunset also returned to its own destination, leaving only a few graceful sunsets hanging overhead, which seemed to be a gift to the dusk.
Hu Guyue was standing at the door of the Zuisheng Building and looking left and right, and after seeing the two figures, she walked quickly to Xiao Xinyi, looked up and down before she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior sister, you are finally back." ”
Xiao Xinyi nodded and said, "Nothing happened today." ”
"No, nothing is going on today." Hu Guyue stared at Xiao Xinyi's red and swollen eyes and replied.
"Let's go back and talk." Xiao Xinyi took the lead in the front.
Hu Guyue looked at Zhuge Qinghong with an inquiring eye, and Zhuge Qinghong said helplessly: "Let's go back and talk." ”
Hu Guyue nodded and replied, "Okay." ”
Qin Youyou and Qian Yi were in Yi Rong's room, and after hearing the knock on the door, Qian Yi got up and opened the door, and saw Xiao Xinyi and the three of them standing at the door, and bowed and said, "The young master and the deputy hall master are back." ”
Xiao Xinyi replied, "I'm back, I'll take a look at Mrs. Yi's injury." ”
Qianyi let out the door, invited Xiao Xinyi into the room, and then walked out by himself. Yi Rong was half-sitting on the couch when she saw Xiao Xinyi approaching and said, "Deputy Hall Master, rest assured, my injuries are no longer serious." ”
Qin Youyou moved a soft stool for Xiao Xinyi and put it on the side of the couch, Xiao Xinyi smiled at her and then sat down to check Yi Rong's pulse, and after a while, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Mrs. Yi's recovery speed from her injuries is simply incredible. ”
Yi Rong didn't answer yet, but listened to Qin Youyou: "It's not because Mr. Qian found a nine-colored lotus pod for her." ”
"It turned out to be a nine-colored lotus canopy, this is a healing elixir, and Mrs. Yi's injuries can be healed soon." Xiao Xinyi replied happily.
Yi Rong glanced at Qin Youyou and said with disgust: "Where is that elm pimple looking for it, obviously it was found by Qingxiao Tang's brothers together." ”
Qin Youyou replied with a smile: "Oh, Mr. Qian is really in vain. ”
Yi Rong actually yelled a little twisted when she heard this: "What does the little girl know, go and play while playing." It seemed that he didn't want to continue this topic, so he turned to Xiao Xinyi and asked, "The deputy hall master and the young master will have something to gain from going this time." ”
Xiao Xinyi brushed the strands of broken hair scattered on his forehead behind his ears and said, "Yes, it's just that things are a little complicated, and we will make plans after the hall master comes."
Yi Rong saw the tired look on Xiao Xinyi's face and said, "Presumably the deputy hall master must be very tired, you don't have to worry about it on my side, just rest." ”
Xiao Xinyi nodded and got up and said, "It's okay, Mrs. Yi also needs to rest more, and I will come to see you later." ”
After walking out of the room, Xiao Xinyi asked Qin Youyou, who came out behind her, "Why didn't you see Mo Yan." ”
Qin Youyou replied: "She and Hua Gongzi are still waiting for you outside the Falling Moon Villa." ”
It turned out that Hua Rujiang didn't see Zhuge Qinghong after he came back, and after knowing that he had gone to Luoyue Mountain Villa, he went to wait outside the village, and Leng Moyan went with him.
