Chapter 44: Murong Cheng'an and Chu Yunxi meet
Because of this time to take Zitang and run around looking for Murong Cheng'an, Ye Lingxi's physical condition became very weak. So, she recuperated peacefully in the house for many days before she finally recovered. During this period, Murong Cheng tried his best to serve Ye Lingxi before and after the saddle, and Xiaolian was almost unable to find a sense of existence.
Yuelai Inn Tianzi No. 1 room.
Chu Yunxi's face was cold, and he was sitting at the table listening to Xiaoqing's report on the information.
"Back to the master, for Anxijun, his subordinates can't find any information. It was as if he appeared out of nowhere. The subordinate families looking for the surname An in the three kingdoms of Tianheguo, Shengning and Jun'an, among the three kingdoms, only Tianhe has the surname An, but it is also rare, and the family is not huge, and there is no person named Anxijun in the family. The subordinates can be sure that this Anxi-kun must not be his real name. β
Chu Yunxi nodded. The results of the investigation of the name "Anxijun" had been expected by him. Now that he has seen that Anxijun is not simple, he also expected that this person would definitely not reveal his real name. However, no matter what the identity of this Anxi Jun is, he wants to get close to Ye Lingxi's heart, Chu Yunxi will not be mistaken. Thinking of Ye Lingxi, Chu Yunxi's eyes revealed deep longing.
"How's Princess Ann doing?"
"Back to the master, Princess An has not been out of the house recently, and she should be resting in the house. Strangely, although the An Wangfu appears to be defenseless on the surface, it is actually heavily guarded. The subordinates wanted to sneak to Princess An's close body to understand Princess An's condition, but as soon as they entered the mansion, their subordinates noticed the aura of people whose martial arts were higher than those of their subordinates, and their subordinates really couldn't find out the news inside King An's mansion. β
Chu Yunxi frowned. An Wangfu is defenseless on the surface, but it is secretly heavily guarded? If it is someone sent by the emperor of the Heavenly and Peaceful Kingdom, there is no need to hide in the shadows. But if it weren't for the people of the Emperor of Heaven and the Kingdom, who would be secretly protecting King An's Mansion? Xiaoqing's martial arts are not weak, but he didn't expect that King An's mansion would be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Chu Yunxi's right hand rested on the table beside him, his fingertips lightly tapping on the tabletop, frowning and thinking. He is now very worried about Ye Lingxi's condition, and he let Ye Lingxi and her maidservant leave that day without personally escorting him, which is the one thing he regrets the most.
Not long after Ye Lingxi left, officers and soldiers searched everywhere, and he immediately had a very bad premonition. He immediately opened the window, and happened to see Ye Lingxi's maidservant who was running on the road downstairs, followed by a man with a naΓ―ve face and a brocade dress, it should be Prince An. He quietly followed without thinking about it, and fortunately, he soon found Ye Lingxi in an inconspicuous inn.
Chu Yunxi's identity was inconvenient and openly appeared by Princess An's side. In order not to cause trouble to Ye Lingxi, Chu Yunxi did not dare to visit Ye Lingxi in person, so he had to passively wait for Ye Lingxi to come to him in the inn.
Ye Lingxi, who had recovered his vitality, finally remembered that he had made an appointment with Chu Yunxi to learn martial arts that day.
"Eh!"
Ye Lingxi was startled, so frightened that Murong Chengan's hand that had just picked up the teacup and was about to drink water slipped, and the teacup fell and shattered to the ground.
"Lady, what's wrong with you? Is there something uncomfortable? β
Murong Chengan nervously ran in front of Ye Lingxi, grabbed one of Ye Lingxi's hands with both hands and put it on his chest.
"Ahh No! I've released my master's pigeons! Oops, oops, oops! β
Ye Lingxi got up from the bed as he spoke, and hurriedly looked for clothes to wear.
"Lady, what is a pigeon?"
Ye Lingxi ignored Murong Cheng'an's ignorant question: "Xiao An'an, I'll go out first, you wait for me at home!" β
Ye Lingxi, who was dressed, gave a brief explanation, then turned around and hurriedly went out.
"Lady, lady, I'm going too! I'm going too! I protect you! β
Murong Chengan hurriedly followed Ye Lingxi. Although she didn't understand what "releasing pigeons" meant, she said that her master must be going to find Chu Yunxi. Murong Chengan had just begun to cultivate a relationship with Ye Lingxi, so he would not give Chu Yunxi a chance to please his mother. Xiaolian saw Ye Lingxi planning to go out outside the door, and she also followed.
Ye Lingxi was in a hurry to go to Chu Yunxi to explain her breach of the appointment, so she acquiesced to Murong Cheng'an and Xiaolian to expand the team.
When the three of them arrived at the Yuelai Inn, Xiao Qing, who was guarding the periphery of King An's Mansion, had already rushed back to the inn to report the situation to Chu Yunxi before them, so Chu Yunxi was not surprised by the arrival of the three of them.
Knock knock!
"Please come in."
Chu Yunxi's warm voice came from the room, which calmed down Ye Lingxi's heart, which was originally anxious because of the missed appointment.
Xiaolian was guarding the door, and Ye Lingxi led Murong Chengan into the room.
This was the first official meeting between Murong Chengan and Chu Yunxi.
In fact, Murong Cheng'an had already had face-to-face contact with Chu Yunxi as An Xijun, but Chu Yunxi was the first time he had seen Murong Cheng'an. In the past, I had only heard of Prince An of Tianhe Kingdom in rumors, and he was amazingly talented, but unfortunately he was unexpectedly stupid. Now that I see it, the rumors are true. The man in front of him was tall and outstanding, although he looked naΓ―ve, but it was difficult to hide the noble temperament of the royal family. If you ignore his stupid demeanor and movements, he is really a stunning prince.
But while Chu Yunxi spoke highly of Murong Chengan, Murong Chengan despised Chu Yunxi in his heart. Little white face, pretend to be deep! Although it was difficult to give a negative evaluation of Chu Yunxi's appearance, Murong Chengan secretly used all the derogatory terms for people with good looks to Chu Yunxi.
When the eyes of the two met, a fierce electric current surged, Murong Chengan expressed disdain for Chu Yunxi's friendliness, and Chu Yunxi was puzzled by Murong Chengan's hostility.
Ye Lingxi didn't notice the fierce interaction between the two, she just wanted to apologize immediately for the missed appointment.
"Master, I'm sorry! I missed my appointment......"
Ye Lingxi doesn't like to excuse, if you miss an appointment, if you miss an appointment, if you are wrong, if you are wrong, you are wrong. Her words interrupted the battle between the two eyes. Chu Yunxi withdrew his gaze and put it on Ye Lingxi's body. Murong Chengan was still staring at Chu Yunxi angrily, eager to kill the other party with his eyes.
"It doesn't matter."
Chu Yunxi was as gentle as a spring breeze from beginning to end, which made Ye Lingxi even more embarrassed, standing in place at a loss, not knowing what to say next.
"Humph!"
Murong Cheng'an's arrogant cold snort came from behind him, relieving the awkward atmosphere.
"Ah, by the way, Master, let me introduce you, this is my husband Jun'an, Xiao An'an!"
Ye Lingxi didn't know Murong Chengan's full name, the day he just crossed over, Ye Lingxi asked him, but Murong Chengan couldn't tell his name, Ye Lingxi kept calling him "Xiao An'an", so he called him like that. Anyway, the name is just a codename, and it's okay to have a name.
Chu Yunxi heard Ye Lingxi introduce Murong Cheng'an as her husband with a calm demeanor, and her heart ached. But he still nodded politely, and bowed his hand to Murong Cheng to give a fist salute on the rivers and lakes.
"Lord An is auspicious. In the lower Chu Yunxi. β
Murong Cheng'an ignored Chu Yunxi's salute, and shook Ye Lingxi's arm like no one else: "Lady, are you done?" Shall we go home? β
Ye Lingxi held Murong Chengan's hand, smiled at Chu Yunxi awkwardly, and turned his head to criticize Murong Chengan: "Xiao An'an, why didn't you respond when my master greeted you?" That's rude! β
Murong Cheng'an reluctantly turned to Chu Yunxi at this time: "Oh, excuse me." β
After saying this, Murong Chengan continued to pester Ye Lingxi to hurry back to the house. Ye Lingxi was a few big, gritted his teeth and threatened Murong Cheng'an: "If you quarrel again, I won't take you out to play next time!" β
After speaking, without waiting for Murong Cheng'an to refute, Ye Lingxi walked to the table and sat down. Murong Chengan pouted, didn't dare to talk nonsense, and stood behind Ye Lingxi with a sad face, his hands on Ye Lingxi's shoulders.
Chu Yunxi naturally poured a cup of tea for Ye Lingxi and put it in front of her. Ye Lingxi also naturally picked up the teacup, and when he was about to drink the tea, Murong Chengan snatched the teacup and drank all the tea in the teacup in one gulp. There was no way, seeing the tacit understanding between Ye Lingxi and Chu Yunxi, he couldn't help but destroy it.
Ye Lingxi only thought that Murong Chengan was a child, and snatched her tea to drink, but he didn't care too much. But as a man, Chu Yunxi understood Murong Chengan's feelings too well. He's weird, can a fool be jealous?
"Master, a few days ago, I met a gangster and was almost killed, but fortunately, Xiaolian saved me in time, and in the end, the bad guy was also punished. Later, I felt a little unwell, so I raised it in the house for a few days, and then I didn't come to the master. β
After sitting down, Ye Lingxi began to tell Chu Yunxi about what had happened in the past few days, and explained in disguise the reason why he hadn't come to Chu Yunxi recently.
Chu Yunxi nodded: "I didn't personally send you back to the house that day, so I gave the gangsters an opportunity to take advantage of it, and today I will personally send you back to the house for the master." β
"No, you don't! My lady, I will naturally protect! β
Before Ye Lingxi could answer, Murong Chengan's dissatisfied voice came from behind him, and he especially accentuated the tone of the words "my lady", and was busy announcing that Ye Lingxi was his mother.
Ye Lingxi turned around with a black line and gave Murong Chengan a warning look, and Murong Chengan hurriedly shrank and stretched his neck towards Chu Yunxi.
"It's okay, Master, I won't always meet gangsters! I don't walk that alley anymore and I'll be fine! Although I could take a shortcut in that alley, I walked twice and met the gangsters twice. Don't dare to cut corners in the future! β
"Twice?"
Chu Yunxi didn't know about the last time Ye Lingxi took a shortcut to find him, met Ye Ziru and was rescued by An Xijun. So, Ye Lingxi roughly told Chu Yunxi about the situation that day.
"Ling Xi, that Anxi-kun, you have to be careful with it. This person appeared out of thin air, and I am afraid that there is malicious intent. β
Ye Lingxi nodded: "I know, Master, don't worry!" β
For Chu Yunxi's concern, Ye Lingxi felt very warm.
Murong Cheng'an stood there, listening to Chu Yunxi slandering him behind his back, and he couldn't defend himself, so he could only grit his teeth secretly.
