Chapter 21: Angelica Ambush on the Way 1
"Ahhhh "I'm not a murderer! I'm not a murdererβI won't give in to you! You're just a sword - I won't give in to you! I will not give in to your !!! β
"Little Yan'erβLittle Yan'er!"
"Uhhββββh After a long time, he found that Zi Kai was guarding his side, and he was already in tears.
"Little Yan'er? What's wrong with you? Zi Kai grabbed Zi Yan's left hand and said anxiously, "Quick!" Let go! Xiao Yan'er! β
Ziyan looked down and saw that there were scratches on one of his white arms, some of which were quite deep, and the skin and flesh were slightly turned out. It was the strength that he had grabbed at Kesha, but now it all fell on Qi Ming's arm.
Ziyan hurriedly retracted his hand and said, "Yes.... Sorry.... I'm sorry... I'm not...."
"No problem." Qi Ming's face was calm, and he had already smiled, but he didn't see his brows move slightly.
Qi Jin hurriedly brought the ice jade paste to give Qi Ming the medicine, and said, "Brother Ming, you shouldn't use your skills...."
Qi Ming saw that Ziyan was sober, so he put on his usual light smile and Qi Jin: "Brother don't worry, it's just a little scratch, kittens love to scratch people like this." β
Qi Jin glanced at Qi Ming and said dissatisfiedly: "It's all like this, and it's still funny, no injuries or bloodshed in the future, you know?" β
"Yes, brother." Qi Ming lowered his eyes and smiled in agreement.
Ziyan curled up himself, hid in the quilt, looked at Qi Ming's arm, and said, "Ming.... Brother, I'm sorry, I...."
Qi Ming said unhurriedly: "This morning's news, the governor of Jiangzhou has been replaced, and the neighboring dispatch, the Tibetan silver and family property of the Lu Mansion have been confiscated for disaster relief, and the disaster situation in Jiangzhou will be alleviated." β
Ziyan: "......"
Qi Ming looked at the silent Ziyan and said lightly, "This is your credit." β
Qi Jin put down the medicine bottle, took a dossier and handed it to Ziyan, and said warmly: "This is the dossier, Sister Ziyan, take a look." β
Ziyan looked at the file for a while, and finally came out of the bed, reached out to take it, frowned and looked at it for a while, and then handed the file to Zi Yan.
Zi Kai took over the unfolding and explained to Ziyan: "The newly appointed governor of Jiangzhou is Ji Jiehai, who was originally the city commander of Luocheng in Jiangzhou, has no strong background, and has been well received since serving as the city commander, and has received the appointment document early this morning, entered the governor's mansion, seized the family property and Tibetan silver, and reported all the silver obtained and directly used it for disaster relief and alleviation of the disaster..."
"It's already been decided...."Ziyan muttered to himself, slowly raising his eyes to look at Qi Jin and Qi Ming, "Who are you?" β
Qi Ming smiled lightly, and Qi was embarrassed.
Zi Kai said seriously: "Xiao Yan'er, don't ask about the identity of the upper family. β
At this time, a delicate figure appeared at the door of the room.
"Yo! Boy Yan woke up! Li Peony came to check on Ziyan, his steps were light and his figure was smart, "Your second uncle asked me to come over and take a look at your situation." β
Ziyan remembered the fight between his father and his second uncle in the basement, and asked, "How is my second uncle?" β
"Your second uncle is miserable, his whole body is bruised, but it's okay! There are no internal injuries, they are all people who practice martial arts, and this skin injury is nothing! Hey~"
Qi Jin looked at Li Peony and said, "There are bruises all over my body..... What do I think, the second boss is injured, and Aunt Peony is happy? β
"Hehehehe~" Li Peony didn't hold back, let out a string of lovely laughter, and then with his hands behind his back, he bent over and tilted his face to look at Qi Jin, and said in a tactful voice, "The young master is very keen~ Tell me, why am I happy?" β
Qi Jin blushed slightly: "Aunt Peony just didn't say it... The second boss is covered with bruises... Seemingly.... Aunt Peony has carefully examined him.... Speaking of which, the last time the Dead Man tracked down an event.... It seems to be a second master..... Aunt Peony's medicine..."As he spoke, Qi Jin pressed his index finger against his chin and knocked it again and again, in order to relieve the shame caused by the blushing. Thinking of this, Qi Jin's eyes would glance at the edge of the bed from time to time, remembering the warmth and smoothness that came from his hands last time he bandaged Ziyan's calves.....
"Hehehehe~" There was another string of coquettish laughter, Li Peony looked at Ziyan with his eyes, "Oh, young master, I said, it turns out that your sensitivity came from this, hahahahaha~" Saying that, Li Peony patted Qi Jin's back, which was not small, and slapped him to the edge of the bed with his hands!
Qi Ming, who was still sitting at the end of the bed, was startled, and saw that his brother had blocked most of Ziyan.
As soon as Qi Jin looked up, he saw Ziyan looking at him with a pair of big round eyes.
Ziyan: "Brother Jin? You okay? β
Zi Wei anxiously said to Li Peony: "Aunt Peony, no! It's..."
"Huh? What do you call me?!! What not to ?!! Li Peony raised one side of his eyebrows, slanted and pouted to look at Zi Wei.
"Ahem," Qi Jin coughed lightly twice, and said to Zi Wei on the side, "It's okay, Brother Zi Kai, Aunt Peony is really temperamental, hahaha, I haven't been treated like this for a long time." He smiled brightly.
Ziyan stretched out his hand to help Qi Jin up, but a hand stretched out to grab Ziyan's little hand, and he heard a voice coming: "This is my brother, your brother is over there, don't rob me." It was Qi Ming who spoke, he poked his head out from behind Qi Jin's figure, as if he had been robbed of his favorite toy, and said dissatisfied.
Ziyan clenched her fists and pinched the flesh in her palm, she just wanted to help Qi Jin, but she was robbed by him, seeing Qi Ming teasing her like this, she spit out two words very unkindly: "Brother control!" β
Everyone was shocked and asked in unison, "What is brother control?" β
Ziyan hugged one of Zi Yan's arms and demonstrated: "I just like my brother very much." β
"Hehe~" Qi Jin couldn't help laughing when he heard it, looking back at Qi Ming, sure enough, Qi Ming's face froze at this time, no one could make Brother Ming break his skills, and he couldn't hold back his smile, this is good, Sister Ziyan's words made his eyebrows keep jumping. If it's a woman who likes her brother, it's okay, and it's really embarrassing for a man to be coquettish and like his brother. Qi Jin felt that his younger brother was too cute at this moment, so he got up and took a step back, still smiling at him all the time.
Hearing this, Zi Wei looked at Ziyan's little head, scratching the top of her head very happily, feeling that there was no more reassuring and comfortable existence in this world than her, and unconsciously leaned his head lightly on Ziyan's head, and laughed at Qi Ming who froze his face opposite.
"Puff puff~" Ziyan saw Qi Ming's rigidity and felt that he had succeeded, stuck out his tongue at Qi Ming, and finally swept away the haze of the previous nightmare.
Li Peony saw that the little ones were happy, and thought: I originally wanted to use the eldest young master to divert the attention of the little boy, but I didn't expect the two young masters to do it inadvertently. Li Peony had to look at Qi Ming with a provincial gaze, and said that these two young masters were very smart, and it seemed that what he said was true.
"Boy Yan, your second uncle asked me to come over and take a good look at you, come on, let me see." As she spoke, she forced herself into the encirclement, leaning over to check Ziyan, "How?" Does the injury in the abdomen hurt? β
Ziyan instantly became well-behaved, and slowly replied, "It doesn't hurt anymore." β
"Okay, what about the hand? What about the face? Li Peony turned around holding Ziyan's little face, and saw that several scratches had indeed begun to heal and scab.
"Hmm...."Ziyan was held by Li Peony, his fleshy face was extremely cute, and he couldn't speak clearly, "Aunt Peony, you and the second uncle tell me, don't worry about me, let him stop being angry with his father." β
"Okay, good," Li Peony said, putting down his hands and propping himself on the bed, placing his hands on both sides of Ziyan, and encircling Ziyan within his range. Even so, Ziyan never let go of the hand that held Zi Yan. At this time, because of Li Peony's posture, what was revealed in front of Ziyan was her proud curves, and she felt that the line of sight in front of her was constantly expanding and shaking, and Ziyan was stunned. Qi Ming leaned back, turned his head and saw Ziyan's "idiot" expression, raised his eyebrows and said, "Brother control!" β
As soon as Ziyan heard this, he woke up from the scene in front of him, tilted his head and shouted to Qi Ming: "Who has chest control?" You're the one who has chest control! β
When Li Peony heard this, he looked down at his arrogance, and then at Ziyan's little red face, and a burst of happy laughter broke out in the room.
Inside the East Garden, outside the door, the head of the Mo family stood with his hands slender, but the single panda eye on his face was extremely inconsistent with his body shape and temperament, which was a bit out of the way. He also heard this laughter, and a few childish warm jokes, and thought: Am I too anxious?
The steward Mo Youli asked gently, "Does the head of the family want to go in?" Miss's injury, Dr. Qin, let Mo Shao see it, and said that it was no big deal. β
"You send these in, I'll go back to Xiyuan." After speaking, the head of the Mo family turned around and left, not taking a single cloud with him.
"Yes." Mo Youli replied.
He led a group of servants to bring the washed and clean carcass and a table of lunch into the East Garden, which was now wrapped in a scabbard, which was a fine pressed peach wood, simple but shiny.
Seeing the arrival of lunch, everyone smiled, Li Peony looked at the food, got up and asked a few words of Mo Youli, and said to Ziyan behind him: "Your second uncle is still waiting for my news, I'll go over first, you eat first." β
After that, she bowed to the two young masters. Qi Jin and Qi Ming nodded one after another.
After the servants had all the dishes arranged, Mo Youli said to Qi Jin and Qi Ming: "Lunch has been prepared, please use it, young master." β
Qi Jin Qi Ming walked to the table leisurely, and Mo Youli said to Ziyan and Zi Wei again: "Young master, young lady, the master asked his subordinates to bring your food together." β
When Zi Yan heard this, he urged Zi Yan to get up and eat.
Qi Jin asked the steward, "How is the head of the Mo family?" β
Mo Youli told about the injuries of the head of the Mo family: "It's not a big deal, it's just... On the face of the big boss...."Speaking of this, Mo Youli raised his eyes to look at Qi Jin and Qi Ming, ".... I'm sorry to see the young masters. β
Ziyan said: "It's good that my father is okay." As he spoke, he got up and put on his shoes and prepared to dine with everyone.
Qi Ming remembered the scene he saw in the basement, lowered his eyes and smiled, returned to his usual appearance of not being surprised, and whispered to himself: "Seeing people with panda eyes... I'm really embarrassed..."
Qi Jin said to Mo Youli gently: "I know, you go back and tell the head of the family, and the hall will discuss the matter after lunch." β
"Yes." Mo Youli replied.
Ziyan saw that there was a roast chicken, and the eyes were hooked, which was very shiny. Qi Jin pushed the roast chicken in front of Ziyan.
Mo Youli saw that they were eating happily, and he didn't want to disturb them more, so he quietly ordered someone to send the carved brake wrapped in peach wood in.
Qi Ming looked at it, communicated with Mo Youli with his eyes, and asked him to put the sword on the small table in the corner of the room, bypassing Ziyan, who was eating roast chicken, her attention was now on the food in her mouth, and she had no time to be distracted.
"Xiao Yan'er, slow down." Zi Wei said as he served her vegetables.
Qi Jin looked at Ziyan and also gave Ziyan a dish, Ziyan ate with relish, and was about to pick up a piece of lotus root, but unfortunately Qi Ming's chopsticks also stretched out, and the two of them sandwiched the same piece of lotus root, Ziyan squeezed his eyebrows and asked, "Don't you like lotus root?" β
Qi Jin snickered and sandwiched yams, celery, and eggplants into Qi Ming's bowl one by one.
Ziyan looked puzzled: "Brother Jin, how can you clean Brother Ming with dishes that he doesn't like to eat?" β
The corners of Qi Ming's mouth curled: "It seems that you have a good memory, if you don't like it, it doesn't mean that you can't eat at all, for the sake of balanced nutrition, you should eat a little bit of everything." I don't know this lotus, is Sister Ziyan willing to give it to me? As he spoke, he tilted his head and looked at Ziyan.
Ziyan let go happily, Qi Ming put the lotus root slices in the bowl, and ate the white rice slowly.
After Ziyan let go of the chopsticks, he picked up a piece of lotus root, stretched his body, and put the lotus root slices into Qi Jin's bowl, Qi Jin was very surprised when he saw it, and smiled: "Thank you, Sister Ziyan~"
Qi Ming's eyes moved slightly, and he continued to eat.
After sitting down, Ziyan asked, "Brother Jin, what is your taste preference?" β
Qi Jin looked at Ziyan for a moment and said: "I prefer vegetarian dishes, I only eat beef for meat, and I can't eat too much, because beef is not easy to digest." β
"Oh~" Ziyan nodded, began to move the plate, and pushed the vegetarian dishes in front of Qi Jin.
Qi Ming was about to pick up some stir-fried lettuce, so he was taken by Ziyan and put it in front of Qi Jin.
Qi Ming gave up, wanted to clip some mushrooms, and was rushed to Qi Jin by Ziyan.
Qi Ming still gave up, stretched out his hand to the sliced beef clip in the distance, Ziyan was still one step ahead of him, pushed the plate of sliced beef over, and said with a smile on Qi Jin's face, "These are what you love to eat, brother Jin, you eat more, so that you won't be so thin!" β
Qi Jin was silent, looked at Ziyan, and then looked at Qi Ming, who had not withdrawn his hand, smiled unabatedly, and pushed the mushrooms and yams in front of Qi Ming. Qi Ming didn't let go of his usual shallow smile at this time, and continued to eat with vegetables.
After taking a break after dinner, Zi Kai and Qi Jin resumed the rainy endgame and began to play seriously. Ziyan moved the stool, moved himself up, and watched Zi Yan and Qi Jin play chess with both hands on their cheeks. But after a while, she couldn't stand it, she didn't know how to play chess, for her, it was just that you put the chess pieces one by one, so she began to wander and look around.
Ziyan found that the furnishings in the Dongyuan room were very exquisite, from the window edges and curtains to the table decorations, which were not vulgar.
Ziyan asked softly, "Is this Brother Jin's room or Brother Ming's room?" β
Qi Jin replied while playing chess, "It's my room." β
"Oh~" Ziyan responded, still looking around, when she saw a peachwood sword lying on the small table, she recognized it as a moment when she saw the hilt of the sword, and looked at it for a while, and saw a hand pick it up, Ziyan came back to her senses and looked up.
It was Qi Ming who picked up the mahogany scabbard, and he looked at it carefully, but he didn't pull out the carving brake.
Ziyan's right hand subconsciously clenched into a fist, remembering the scene in the dream, she couldn't help but feel that she grabbed her right hand with her left hand, and the tighter she gripped it, her nails were deeply sunk into the firm and fine white tender flesh.
Zi Sui Yuguang noticed Ziyan's quietness, turned his head and asked, "What's wrong with Xiao Yan'er?" Even Qi Jin also looked at Ziyan.
Ziyan woke up: "It's okay, you go on." With that, she moved down and walked towards Qi Ming. Qi Jin and Zi Kai followed her with their eyes.
Seeing Ziyan staring at Kesha and coming over, Qi Ming put the sword beside him, wanting to widen the distance between Ziyan and the sword, and said, "The master of the Mo family has a heart, and he has installed a peach wood scabbard for you to suppress evil spirits." β
Ziyan saw this move in his eyes, walked straight to Qi Ming, stared at his left hand, and said to Qi Ming: "The injury on my hand, I'm sorry, I... You're right, it's an evil thing, maybe I shouldn't have taken it out of the forbidden land..."
Qi Ming was slightly startled, turned his sword on his back, approached Ziyan and said, "You have already apologized to me... It's just a small injury....", he said, placing his left hand on her head.
Ziyan, who was still guilty, felt the weight on his head and was about to dodge, Qi Ming had already taken the lead in putting his hand down and said to Ziyan sideways: "However, looking at your situation now, although Kesha recognizes you as the master, you are not strong enough to override it." Are you afraid of it? β
Ziyan: "...... I can't be afraid of it, my father is right, without Kecha, I will have no sharp weapons, and I will lose the prestige of the heir of the Mo family. So I can't be afraid of it...."
Qi Ming looked at Ziyan's evasive eyes and said: "Don't deceive yourself, if you are afraid, you have to accept, only by accepting can you change yourself, at the moment, the most important thing is that you have to become stronger, strong enough to control the moment." β
Ziyan looked at Qi Ming in surprise, that's right, if you blindly deny the fear in your heart, you are just being strong, and you have to become really strong in order to conquer the moment.
Qi Ming seemed to see the change in Ziyan's mood, and stretched out his right hand to lay the moment in front of Ziyan: "Since it recognizes you as the master, you are the most qualified person in this world to control it." β
Zi Yan's round eyes widened slightly, looking at the moment in front of him, Qi Ming continued: "Pull it out when you feel you can, and before that, strengthen yourself." Ziyan looked up at Qi Ming as he listened, and there was a fluctuation in his heart, as if there were ripples from his heart, slightly agitating his skin, gently shattering the haze and fear shrouded in the surface of his body, and dissipating it from his body.
Ziyan stretched out his hand to take the moment, and the wandering in his eyes gradually receded, and began to show perseverance. Qi Ming looked at the small five fingers that were exposed while holding the sword body with one hand covered by Ziyan, and looked into Ziyan's eyes, for a long time, he nodded at Ziyan and said, "It's your sword, just for you." β
The two people on the chessboard also felt the change in Ziyan and smiled with satisfaction.
Zi Kai: "Great, Xiao Yan'er seems to have figured it out." β
Qi Jin looked at the figures of the two, moved slightly, and said softly: "Yes, Brother Ming is worthy of being a martial arts wizard, and he knows Sister Ziyan's heart very well......"
At this time, Mo Youli came to collect the table and informed the Mo family master that he was already waiting in the hall.
Qi Ming looked at Zi Kai: "Brother Mo, come with us." β
Mo's Hall.
Mo Chuanshan saw Qi Jin and Qi Ming saluting respectfully, and Qi Jin stretched out his hand to help the Mo family master: "Don't be restrained, how are things arranged?" β
"It's already in order, but I don't know how the young masters can avoid the ambush on the road?" Mo Chuanshan asked.
Qi Jin glanced at Qi Ming, and Qi Ming proposed to the head of the Mo family: "On the way back, let Brother Mo and Sister Ziyan pretend to be brother and me." β
Zi Kai and Zi Yan: !!
