Chapter 55: Secret Talk in the Bamboo Forest
There is a bamboo forest in the mountain behind Ling Shan Temple, which is just located in the south of the hill of Xiaoling Mountain, there is no sunshine all day, and it is very quiet and shady.
Ruan Tingge and Lin Yunxi wandered around the temple, and somehow walked to the back mountain.
Seeing the still dense green bamboo forest in front of him, Lin Yunxi said with some curiosity, "I didn't expect that there are still bamboos planted in this Lingshan Temple, and these monks are a little elegant." ”
As he spoke, he pulled Ruan Tingge and wanted to go into the bamboo forest.
Lingyu stopped him from behind at this time, "County Lord, Miss Lin, this bamboo forest looks quite deep, and I don't know what it's like inside, let's not go in." ”
Naruto echoed on the side.
"What can this be, isn't it just some bamboo?" Lin Yunxi said with some disapproval.
"I've heard that snakes are usually found in bamboo forests," Ming'er was a little scared, "and if you get bitten, it's over." ”
"There is no snake, you are cowardly and contrived." Lin Yunxi teased her, but she still stopped and didn't move forward.
Ruan Qingge didn't care about the discussion between them, her ears moved slightly, her eyes looked to the left side of the bamboo forest, and she seemed to hear the sound of someone talking in the distance.
She was about to walk a little further, to see who was in the bamboo forest.
Before she could take a few steps, her eyes suddenly flickered, and a man dressed in black appeared in front of her, she was startled, and couldn't help but turn on her tiptoes, and took a big step back.
The man in black had a long scar on the left side of his face, and he stood there expressionlessly, with a hint of vigilance in his eyes when he saw Ruan Tiange leap backwards.
His arm lifted slightly, as if he wanted to do something, but stopped when he caught a glimpse of Ruan Qinge's face, with a slight look of surprise on his face.
He was silent for a moment before he said coldly, "It's better not to go any further on this girl." ”
Ruan Tingge was already annoyed that he had exposed his light skills, and he was even more unhappy when he heard the threatening words of the man in black, and snorted coldly, "When has this Lingshan Temple become a place for others to encircle themselves, and if you say you won't let in any place, you won't let you in?" ”
Although he said it toughly, Ruan Tingge was still very vigilant, thinking that if this man had any dangerous behavior, he would immediately flee backwards and shout for help.
The man in black had a cold and hard face, and he no longer opened his mouth to continue talking to Ruan Tingge, but his body was still standing straight in front of Ruan Tingge, motionless.
The two were in a stalemate, and suddenly, they looked in one direction at the same time, and Ruan Tingge was slightly stunned.
A man in white walked out of the bamboo forest, standing next to a green bamboo and looking at this side, with a handsome face and an elegant posture, it was Wen Ziran.
Wen Ziran didn't seem to expect Ruan Tingge to appear here, his eyes swept over Lin Yunxi and the others not far behind Ruan Tingge, and then turned his eyes back to look at Ruan Tingge, his voice was cold and good, "Lord Yun'an?" ”
At this time, the man in black turned around, walked quickly to Wen Ziran's side, and whispered something.
Ruan Tingge's ears moved slightly, and she vaguely heard the words "just came", "dispute", "light work" and so on, her face remained unchanged, and her eyelashes drooped.
She glanced at the bamboo forest behind the two of them, and vaguely saw a figure in a light yellow brocade robe, with a long jade pendant hanging from her waist.
As soon as the figure emerged from the bamboo forest, it hurriedly hid back.
"My subordinate seems to have been a little offended to the county lord of Yun'an just now, and I ask the county lord to forgive me." Wen Ziran said at this time, with a polite smile on his face, which added a bit of handsomeness to his complexion.
Ruan Qingge said lightly, "Young Master Wen, your subordinate blocked me in front of me for no reason and didn't let me go forward, but it made me a little curious, I don't know what beautiful scenery in this bamboo forest can't be shared with others?" ”
The man in black looked a little stiff and glanced at Wen Ziran with some nervousness.
Wen Ziran's face was still smiling, as if he didn't understand the sarcasm in Ruan Tingge's words, and his tone was indifferent, "The bamboo forest of Lingshan Temple naturally has its own flavor, can the county lord go in and have a look?" ”
Ruan Qingge laughed, shook his head and said, "If Gongzi Wen's invitation to me is known by the ladies of the family in Jinling, I don't know how many people's handkerchiefs will be broken secretly." ”
"I can't afford such consequences," Ruan Qingge's eyes picked up at Wen Ziran, and turned around with a look of disdain, "I still don't disturb Gongzi Wen to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the bamboo forest." ”
She walked over to Lin Yunxi, who was wide-eyed and didn't know what was going on, took Lin Yunxi's arm, and left with the maidservants.
Looking at the departing figure in the distance, Wen Ziran still had a smile on his face, but his eyes were a little deeper.
"The subordinates were negligent for a while, and they let them get close here, please punish the son." The man in black knelt down on one knee at this time, bowed his head and said to Wen Ziran.
"It really deserves to be punished," Wen Ziran retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Do you think that this place is in a remote location, so no one will come?" ”
The man in black lowered his head again.
"Then why do I want you to stay in front of the bamboo forest?" Wen Ziran's tone didn't fluctuate greatly, but cold sweat was already breaking out on the forehead of the man in black, "I will receive the punishment myself when I go back." ”
The man in black whispered yes and stood up with his head bowed.
Ruan Tingge pulled Lin Yunxi to walk towards the front temple of Lingshan Temple with a slightly faster pace, Lin Yunxi was still a little confused, and asked as he walked, "What's the matter?" Why is that gentle beauty there? ”
Ruan Tingge knew that he had bumped into Wen Ziran talking secretly with others, and he was very uneasy, just thinking about returning to the crowded place as soon as possible, so he only replied briefly, "I don't know either." ”
Although she was confronting and talking to Wen Ziran in a tough tone before, she was worried that Wen Ziran would make a move that would be unfavorable to them.
The bamboo forest just now was very remote, even if she and Lin Yunxi disappeared there, no one would know.
Although she knew some martial arts, she felt that the martial arts of the man in black were above her, and even if she could escape, she would not be able to keep Lin Yunxi safe.
However, the man in black may have told Wen Ziran about his light work, but they were not completely sure that they would be able to leave him, so they didn't do it.
Ruan Tingge didn't know why Wen Ziran didn't make any moves, but she didn't quite believe that this person would let her go like this for no reason, so she guessed in the direction she thought was more likely.
Since she was reborn, she no longer believes in the inherent goodness of the human heart, especially for people who have impure intentions, and she only thinks about the worst outcome.
Several people hurriedly walked to the incense hall before slowly slowing down.
Lin Yunxi was already a little out of breath, she wiped the sweat on her forehead, and complained, "What's the matter with you, I'm tired of walking so fast all the way." ”
Lingyu and Ming'er also gasped behind with red faces.
