Chapter 42 The Eve of the Action

In the wooden house halfway up the mountain of Aoxue Peak, Ye Lingyu sat cross-legged on the bed. Although it was a meditation posture, his eyes were not closed, and tomorrow noon was the time of execution, and he really didn't have the heart to settle down.

People in the world say that the higher the cultivation, the more calm the mind will be. He now has the cultivation of the seventh layer of the Yellow Order, and among ordinary martial artists, he can be regarded as a top-notch person, but his mood is still so impetuous that he can't calm down at all. It's like a messy ball of thread in my head, and it's as uncomfortable as a cat scratch.

The wooden door was gently pushed open, and Meng Xue walked in.

She reached out and picked up the overturned teacup on the table and wiped the water stains on the table: "The food is ready, let's eat something first." ”

Her voice was very soft, and her gaze stayed on Ye Lingyu for a moment, then turned to the window.

Outside the window, the sunset has long since subsided, and night is slowly falling.

"I know how you're feeling, but it's useless to be anxious right now. Now that the master is gone, we should plan and decide, and don't mess up. ”

Ye Lingyu didn't answer, just nodded slightly. He didn't know this truth, but the more he tried to calm himself down, the more anxious he became.

"Alas. He sighed, rolled out of bed, and followed Mengxue to another wooden house.

Two oil lamps were lit in the room, and the golden light of the fire gilded the whole room. The meals have already been served, the dishes are quite light, the ingredients are native to Aoxue Peak, although there is no big fish and meat, but each dish is carefully cooked, and the skills of the cooks can also be seen from the workmanship.

"Good food, this craftsmanship is really good. Ye Lingyu grabbed a pair of chopsticks and casually admired. Although he said this to a greater extent to ease the heavy atmosphere, it was not against his will, and the dishes were fragrant, and the craftsmanship was indeed visible.

"And he spoke meaty words. Mengxue glanced at him. She has always lived in a simple house, rarely in contact with people, and few people praise her except for her master. Hearing Ye Lingyu say this, his heartbeat increased a little.

"I'm not talking nonsense, everyone in the world knows that there is a peerless beauty living on Aoxue Peak, but no one knows that this peerless beauty also cooks a peerless good dish. Ye Lingyu laughed.

Usually, when the red dust knife is there, the old and the young talk about the world, and there are no constraints. However, after the old guy left, he was alone with Mengxue, and the atmosphere seemed a little cold. Meng Xue was already silent, and it was even more difficult to get her to take the initiative to provoke the topic, and Ye Lingyu could only take the initiative to say it without saying a word.

"Is there any wine?" Ye Lingyu asked suddenly.

"There is wine. Mengxue stopped her chopsticks, "I usually don't let the master drink more, and the wine is stored in me." ”

"Come, open an altar. Ye Lingyu was not polite to her.

"I'm going to save people tomorrow, so don't drink at this time. ”

"How can it be done, there are good dishes, there are beautiful women, and a pot of wine is missing. Ye Lingyu patted the table, "Don't be so stingy, it's a big deal if I pay for your wine." ”

Meng Xue sighed lightly: "You person, it's a waste of tongue to reason with you." ”

Having said that, with a flick of his hands, a jar of sake was placed on the table.

Ye Lingyu leaned in front of the sealing mud and sniffed, frowning slightly: "It's freezing this day, so there is no strong wine?"

"What are you doing with strong wine, aren't you afraid of missing tomorrow?" Although Meng Xue asked so, he also knew a little bit in his heart that wine was a thing to dispel sorrow, and he wanted strong wine to suppress the depression in his heart.

Meng Xue stretched out her hand to remove the sealing mud and poured it into Ye Lingyu's bowl: "This wine is made by imitating the wind wine of Sword Wine Villa, and it is already the strongest wine in Aoxue City, be content, you are usually the master who wants to drink it, I may not give it to him." ”

"Sword Wine Villa?" Ye Lingyu asked as he picked up the wine bowl and took a sip. The liquor is supple, like clear water from a mountain spring, and it doesn't smell good, but as soon as you enter it, you suddenly feel dizzy.

"Sword Wine Villa is the most famous winery in the Heavenly Saint Empire, and they have a total of four kinds of wine, 'Wind', 'Forest', 'Fire', and 'Mountain'. Wind wine is easy to get drunk, can relieve lovesickness and sorrow, forest wine is gloomy, can go to arrogance and impetuousness, fire wine is spicy, can strengthen the courage to drive away cold, mountain wine can strengthen the body, can strengthen the body and drive away poison. ”

Meng Xue stared at the wine jar and explained step by step.

Ye Lingyu touched his cheek as he listened. I have been working in the tavern for so many years, and I am so embarrassed that I am lonely and unheard of in the cognition of wine. But think about it, Fengcheng, where I have always lived, is only a small city, with a remote geographical location, and it is natural that the news is closed.

Ye Lingyu picked up the wine jar and poured a bowl for Mengxue.

"Wait, I'm not drinking. Meng Xue hurriedly stopped him.

She usually buys wine for her master to drink, and she rarely drinks alcohol, and even if she wants to drink, she only tastes it, but now Ye Lingyu poured her a big bowl.

Ye Lingyu didn't give her a chance to push back, and put the wine bowl in her hand stiffly.

"You're a man...... I said I wouldn't drink it. Meng Xue's beautiful eyes glared, as if she was going to devour Ye Lingyu alive.

Ye Lingyu seemed to be unconscious, picked up his wine, and smiled boldly: "Dry." ”

What are you doing, Mengxue always feels that it is not a taste in her heart. This person is so unreasonable, he said that he couldn't drink, and forced himself to drink. How can there be a woman who drinks boldly, and it is not a man.

Meng Xue watched Ye Lingyu make a big bowl of grunt, and it was not easy to spoil the fun, so she had to send the wine bowl to her mouth.

Although she hasn't been with Ye Lingyu for a long time, Meng Xue also knows that Ye Lingyu is not a good drinker, and if she drinks like this, she doesn't know how big a stone he has in his heart.

Under Ye Lingyu's gaze, Meng Xue raised her head slightly and drank all the wine in the bowl.

However, it was precisely because of this upward movement that she was blocked by the wine bowl, so she couldn't see. At that moment, Ye Lingyu's gaze at her changed, and the originally listless eyes became sharper and sharper, like a sharp blade sliding out of the scabbard. However, this change was only a very short moment, and when Meng Xue put down the wine bowl, Ye Lingyu had already recovered his original demeanor.

"It turns out that you just said that you don't drink, and you can't see that the amount of alcohol is so good. Ye Lingyu snorted, and poured Mengxue's bowl to the brim, "Another cup to quench your thirst." ”

"Okay, don't pour it, I won't drink it......" Mengxue wanted to stop him, but he was still a step slower in his movements.

Her face was already a faint red, her eyes were hazy, and in her gaze, the wine bowl had already ghosted.

Mengxue is not good at drinking, and she usually gets drunk when she gets drunk, let alone drinks a big bowl now.

"Why are you so strange today......" Meng Xue had already begun to feel drunk, and her voice was getting softer and softer.

"Strange? Am I weird today?"

"You don't usually like to listen to people...... But you never force people to ......"

"I'll just let you have two drinks with me, can this be considered forced?"

"But you know...... I'm ...... drunk."

The strength of the wine had already begun to rise, and Mengxue was already prostrate on the table as she spoke. His hands were folded, his head rested on his arms, and his eyes were closed and open, clearly resisting drunkenness.

"You don't think you're any better, you know you can't drink it, you're such a fool. Ye Lingyu dragged the wine bowl with one hand, looked at the quiet face, and said lightly.

"I just...... I don't want to see your sad face......" Mengxue tilted her head, and her voice began to be slurred.

Ye Lingyu was slightly stunned, did he have a sad face? He didn't even notice it.

Meng Xue looked at Ye Lingyu obliquely, with a shallow smile on her face. Her weak willow demeanor brought just the right smile, and she almost didn't hook out Ye Lingyu's soul.

I saw her slender eyelashes trembling slightly, her eyelids getting heavier and heavier, and she didn't struggle for long before falling asleep deeply.

Ye Lingyu's hand holding the wine bowl has not been put down, and it has been frozen in mid-air for a long time. It was a long time before he let out a long sigh.

He softly shouted Mengxue's name twice, but Mengxue didn't respond at all. At this time, Ye Lingyu took out his other hand from under the table. The hand clenched into a fist, and the fist opened, revealing a bag of powder wrapped in oiled paper in the palm of the palm.

The effect of this drug is really strong, Ye Lingyu secretly marveled in his heart.

This packet of drugs was originally placed in Shi Hu's Qiankun Ring, but outside Fengcheng, Ye Lingyu also took it away when he took the Qiankun Ring from Shi Hu's hand. He originally thought that maybe he would use it against the enemy sometimes, but he didn't expect to use it on Mengxue's body for the first time.

Mengxue was already not strong enough to drink, and when Ye Lingyu poured her wine, she secretly sprinkled it with drugs. After a bowl of wine, Mengxue was completely unconscious.

"Don't blame me. Ye Lingyu muttered in a low voice, while stepping forward to pick Meng Xue up horizontally, and then walked to Meng Xue's room, being careful along the way, for fear of waking up the beauty in his arms.

When I got to the room, I put Mengxue on the bed. Ye Lingyu finally swept away his somewhat confused look, the corners of his eyes became sharp, and a cold light flowed in his pupils.

He stroked Mengxue's Qiankun ring and took out a hundred faces.

Tomorrow is the time for the execution, but the execution must be heavily guarded, thinking that with An Junfeng's character, he has already laid a net, just waiting for them to throw themselves into the net. After a day of thinking, Ye Lingyu finally decided to take advantage of the night to save people. Although he planned it this way, how dangerous it was to sneak into the City Lord's Mansion, even if others didn't say it, he knew it. The masters in the city lord's mansion are like clouds, and it is up to him whether he can come back alive or not.

Of course, he didn't tell Meng Xue about this plan, because he knew that if he said it, Meng Xue would definitely go with him.

It's enough to have your own person when the sheep enters the tiger's mouth, so why bother with her again.

He lit the candlelight, and finally glanced back at Mengxue, his eyes were endless and gentle. Then he put a hundred faces on his face, turned around and melted into the night.
