Chapter 194: A bitter plea
Looking at Zhao Ling's expression, he knew what he had in mind, Wuchen stretched out the silver-white robe on his arm, and said, "It seems that the prince has found the answer he wants according to my words." β
However, this was not enough for Zhao Ling.
Although he learned how Yue'er opened the Eye of Heaven according to Wuchen's prompts, how could she explain that she had the wrong name?
Recalling her different behaviors and behaviors after waking up from a serious injury, Zhao Ling felt a strong sense of strangeness for the first time.
Before, he thought that the reason why her personality changed so much was because she suddenly changed her life and death, but now that he thinks about it, he is full of suspicions.
No matter how big a person is, it is impossible for his personality to change without any resemblance to the past, and even his tastes and habits have changed greatly.
The more Zhao Ling thought about it, the more incredible he felt, and he constantly hated that he had cared too little about Chu Xingyue before, and he didn't even pay attention to so many obvious changes in her.
"Master, this king has a question for you."
Looking at Zhao Ling, who was humbly seeking advice, Wuchen nodded and said, "Just open your mouth." β
"This king is curious, is it true that after the talent of the Tianding clan is acquired, the personality will change a lot?"
Wuchen locked his eyebrows and thought for a moment, and said, "I haven't heard of this, but the prince asked this because of the princess?" β
"Yes, Yue'er's personality is too different, this king didn't pay attention to it before, and he didn't think it was anything, but now that I think about it, it's strange and full of suspicions."
Wuchen nodded in agreement and said, "It seems that only the princess can answer this question of the prince." β
Thinking of Chu Xingyue, Zhao Ling's heart ached again, looked at the clouds around him, and ordered, "Gather our people, spare no effort, and we will definitely find the princess back for this king." β
"Yes."
β¦β¦
Yuan Feng took Chu Xingyue and Xiao Ruiyuan all the way to the northeast, and walked out of Taiping Town in less than an hour.
Looking back at the red half of the night sky that had been burned by the fire, I felt like I was suddenly out of this world.
Yuan Feng looked at Chu Xingyue, whose eyes were slightly pensive, and asked, "What is the young master thinking?" β
Chu Xingyue withdrew her gaze from the red night sky that was roasted by the fire, walked forward slowly step by step, and said: "I was thinking that it was only a few months for others, but for me, it was like experiencing two lives, the life of King Ling's Mansion was full of flowers, but now I am walking on the night path with no traces, if it weren't for the high-grade snow satin cloud silk I was wearing, I would really think that I was dreaming now." β
"Young master, my subordinates know that I have to work hard for the young master, but my subordinates will definitely do their best to try not to let the young master suffer."
Looking at the loyal Yuan Feng, Chu Xingyue knew that he had misunderstood the meaning of his words, this kid, wouldn't think that she was a little Jiao'e who couldn't endure hardship.
However, if he misunderstood, let him misunderstand, she couldn't explain to him, what she really wanted to express was that she was the one who had crossed over, and the life she was experiencing now was too far from her past life.
Chu Xingyue chuckled and looked at Yuan Feng, followed his words, and said, "You don't have to worry about me, I'm just feeling emotional." β
The two of them continued to walk forward for a while, but the footsteps that had been carefully following them did not catch up.
Chu Xingyue was curious about how Xiao Ruiyuan's little tail didn't stick up, and wanted to wait for him, but when she looked back, she found that this child was staring at a dark place not far away with red eyes, pursing his thin lips, and his hands trembled slightly from the restraint he tried his best.
This kind of Xiao Ruiyuan made Chu Xingyue curious, took a step closer, stretched out his hand and put it on his shoulder, and called him: "Ruiyuan, what's wrong with you?" β
Xiao Ruiyuan was afraid that Chu Xingyue would not be happy when he saw his tears, so he quickly stretched out his hand and wiped his face with his sleeve indiscriminately, the clothes he was wearing were really not good material, and he gently scratched his face, and it actually rubbed his fair face red.
Looking at Xiao Ruiyuan's strong appearance, Chu Xingyue felt distressed, and faintly made up her mind to take more care of this child.
Chu Xingyue gently touched Xiao Ruiyuan's head, combed his messy hair, and continued: "It would be nice if Chun Xing came with her, although Xiao Nizi is a nagger, her skills are quite good, and she can make two clean and soft clothes for you; I'm a person who doesn't know how to take care of people, and now I can only grieve you, and wait until the next populated town to buy you a set of clothes to wear. β
When Xiao Ruiyuan heard Chu Xingyue say such words, he immediately shook his head in flattery, and at the same time quietly glanced at Yuan Feng, whose face was not very good-looking, the master must be blaming him for being too squeamish and making the young master worried.
"Young master, I'm out of the way, I'm used to wearing this dress, there's nothing wrong with it; You see, except for the patches, it's a little bit more down, but it's still pretty clean, isn't it? β
As he spoke, Xiao Ruiyuan stretched out his arms towards Chu Xingyue, trying his best to show the patched beggar suit on his body.
Since following Chu Xingyue, this little guy has cleverly learned to call Chu Xingyue Young Master in the way of Yuan Feng, and now that she has left Zhao Ling, she is still a princess Ling.
It's just that Xiao Ruiyuan's strength fell in Chu Xingyue's eyes, but it was full of distress, this child who was not yet ten years old, if he was left in modern society, he would definitely be spoiled by his family.
In fact, if Chu Xingyue's guess was correct, Xiao Ruiyuan used to live a rich and powerful life, but unfortunately, overnight, everything changed.
"Rui Yuan, since I promised to take you with me, I will treat you as family, in the face of me, you don't have to be cautious in everything, we just need to get along easily; I don't think it's for any purpose to be nice to you, since you choose to follow us, you have to trust us with all your heart, understand? β
Xiao Ruiyuan looked at Chu Xingyue with a pair of smart and clever eyes, and guessed in his heart that the young master had discovered his anxiety, so he would say such a thing?
Xiao Ruiyuan's eyes turned red again, and instead of looking at Yuan Feng's face, he quietly approached in front of Chu Xingyue, his voice was as small as a cat, and said, "Young master, can Ruiyuan ask you for something?" β
Seeing that this kid seemed to have mustered all his courage to say this, Chu Xingyue would naturally agree.
But before Chu Xingyue could respond, he heard Yuan Feng's cold voice coming from behind him: "Rui Yuan, don't you have to move an inch, don't you know our current situation?" Don't do something out of nothing. β
Hearing Yuan Feng's reprimand, Xiao Ruiyuan, who had finally mustered up the courage to speak, immediately lowered his head again, and there was obviously a dull pain and forbearance in his dark eyes.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xingyue was the first to stand up and not comply, glared at Yuan Feng angrily, and said, "What are you doing so harshly at a child?" Didn't you see that he was all terrified by you? β
Hearing Chu Xingyue's words, Yuan Feng almost crooked his eyes.
He didn't see that this stinky boy was frightened by him, he only saw that this stinky boy was now looking for a backer, and he was constantly winning the sympathy of the young master by using his excellent and beautiful skin and pitiful appearance.
The young master is really too naΓ―ve and benevolent, so he was easily deceived by this kid.
Xiao Ruiyuan was afraid that Chu Xingyue would reprimand the master harshly, and the master didn't like him even more, so he quickly stretched out his hand and grabbed Chu Xingyue's sleeve, and couldn't help but intercede for Yuan Feng, "Young master, I'm fine, the master is also to educate me, I should be taught with an open mind." β
"What is humbly taught, this guy is clearly on guard and doesn't even let go of a child; Yuan Feng, let me tell you, I understand your feelings of being bitten by a snake for ten years and being afraid of the well rope, but if you are like this forever, you deserve to be lonely and old in this life, and you will never be free. β
After speaking, Chu Xingyue held Xiao Ruiyuan's shoulder, looked at him encouragingly, and said, "Say, what do you ask me to do?" I promise you everything. β
Speaking of the last sentence, Chu Xingyue deliberately raised her voice, just to let Yuan Feng, this kid, hear it clearly.
Sure enough, when Yuan Feng heard this, he was even more depressed, and he drooped his shoulders, like a Labrador dog disliked by his owner.
Xiao Ruiyuan raised his head hesitantly, first glanced at Yuan Feng, who had a depressed face, and then regained a little confidence, and opened his mouth to Chu Xingyue, pointing in the direction of the black and dark that he was not far away from just now.
"Don't hide it from the young master, before tonight, I have been living with my sister in that land temple, and my sister committed suicide by throwing herself into a well tonight in order not to become a burden to me."
Looking at Xiao Ruiyuan, whose eyes were red when he said this, Chu Xingyue's mood also became heavy.
"I was too young to have much strength to fish out my sister who had sunk to the bottom of the well; Although my sister said to me before, there is nothing precious about this pair of people's skins, and if it is gone, it will be gone; However, my sister is the only remaining relative in my life, and I don't want her to soak in the cold well water alone. β
Speaking of this, Xiao Ruiyuan knelt down in front of Chu Xingyue with a plop, raised his tearful eyes and looked at her pleadingly: "Young master, can Ruiyuan ask you to help me find a way to fish up my sister's corpse?" β
"All I have to do is scoop my sister up and wrap her in a mat so that she can really be buried in the ground." After speaking, Xiao Ruiyuan kowtowed towards Chu Xingyue.
Looking at Xiao Ruiyuan, who was so distressing, Chu Xingyue felt that her tears were about to fall, but before she could reach out to help his thin body up, a gust of wind blew beside her, and then she saw Yuan Feng, who was standing behind her, suddenly appeared in front of her, and stretched out her hand one step ahead of her to help Xiao Ruiyuan, who was kneeling on the ground.
Xiao Ruiyuan looked at Yuan Feng in surprise, and the feelings in his dark eyes were direct and sincere.
Yuan Feng turned his head away, coughed lightly, and said, "What is there to ask for, it is natural to bury your relatives, if you leave your sister alone, I will regret accepting you as a ruthless and unrighteous apprentice; Let's go, I'll help you get your sister up. β
