Chapter Twenty-Four: Departure for Ye Tingfang
October 5, 527 Magic Calendar at 18:22
Xiang Risong hadn't been home for two days, and the first thing he did when he got home was: "My little baby! I am back! β
Hongying ran out of the kitchen: "Brother! You're back. β
"How are you in the kitchen? Come and hug. β
Hongying ran to Xiang Risong, and was about to hug him, but smelled a foul smell. Hongying took a few steps back and said far away, "Brother, you stink." What's the matter with you? Tell me about it. No, no, you better go take a shower first. β
Xiang Risong frowned and sighed: "Oops! What a bad day today! I'll tell you in a moment, I think it stinks too, Marshall! Come up and rub my back. β
Marshall's voice rang out from the second floor: "Yes. β
"Marshall, why are you up there? I thought you were in the kitchen. Xiang Himatsu walked up the stairs to the bathroom.
After half an hour, Xiang Risong walked down from the upper floor and smelled a burst of aroma: "Wow! What! Why is it so fragrant? Marshall, why are you cooking so good today? β
"It's not Marshall, it's me who did it!" Hongying looked proud, "Taste it!" β
Xiang Risong dug a spoonful of baked mashed potatoes suspiciously: "Well-this mashed potatoes taste really good, I know it has the aroma of cheese and black pepper, but there seems to be something else, did you add something strange?" β
"No, this time, I didn't use magic, I did it myself. It's mashed potatoes that are pressed out with a spoon in both hands. I take care of each dish. There is also the steak, which I just fried, eat it quickly, and it won't taste good when it's cold for a while. β
Xiang Risong sat on the dining chair and looked at Hongying incredulously: "Oh my God, you can even cook?" Did I not come back for two days or two years? Didn't Marshall cook? β
Hongying pulled up a chair and sat down: "This has nothing to do with Marshall, I must learn to do it." β
Xiang Risong tasted the steak, then his expression was exaggerated, and he looked at Hongying with some tears in his eyes: "Hongying, it turns out that there is really a taste of happiness in the world." Looking at Hongying, Xiang Risong suddenly remembered the phantom array set up for him by the phantom magician, and he immediately lowered his head.
"Really?" Hongying smiled and looked at him eating steak with his head down, "Brother, why did you stink so much just now?" β
"Well, today is too unlucky, when I passed by the Jin family, Mengkui suddenly appeared and bumped into me, I was startled and fell into the trash can next to me. It was supposed to be very clean, but who knew there was a big mess of vomit there. Yes! It's disgusting to think about. Xiang Risong trembled, "Also, I won't allow you to deal with Meng Tianyu anymore in the future." β
Hongying was stunned and said, "This is so good, why did you suddenly talk about Tianyu?" β
"When I came back, I met Meng Kui, who was Meng Tianyu's father. Meng Tianyu's fiancΓ©e is Su Yongguang. Now that Su Yongguang has been kidnapped, this Meng Kui must die in a hurry, but he must hurry up and change another candidate. That's why he walked into the Jin family with a large bag of gifts. Apparently he was kicked out to bump into me. β
"Meng Tianyu has a fiancΓ©e?" Hongying clearly felt that she was very lost.
"Isn't this what you hurt Su Yongguang because of this?" Xiang Risong looked at Hongying.
Hongying wants to refute, but the real reason must be stated. Hongying said: "I just saw her bullying others, so I will do it." β
"Your temper is all my habit. Forget it, I'm still covering you anyway. As soon as this Meng Kui heard that something had happened to the Su family, he immediately looked for the next family, which was a bit unauthentic. He also said everywhere that he and Sumen were good friends and brothers. What kind of friend is this! Xiang Risong's complaining couldn't stop, "He also set a marriage for his eldest son, the youngest daughter of the Ten Paladins Tang Yinshan, that girl is too stumbling, and Mengtianyi is still very good, hey, it's really pitiful." β
"Brother, you're gossiping a lot better than I thought. Does Meng Tianyu have a fiancΓ©e and do I have anything to do with him? β
"I don't allow it, I don't allow it."
"Got it." Although Hongying said so on her lips, she didn't think so in her heart.
"And yes! The illusion mage who attacked you, he's been around here lately. The targets for both days were the knights, who had gone missing while on patrol. Xiang Himatsu put down his knife and fork, his brows furrowed, "Tomorrow the kingdom will implement a temporary closed management. The road between Dora and Yateiba will be closed, and knights will be stationed there. So I'll be back first, and I'll tell you that I'll leave Dora tonight. Because no one knows when this illusion mage will be found. β
"Today? Mademoiselle has a lot of things to prepare. Marshall said.
"Now you go and simply clean up, and then find a better place to stay."
"Yes."
Xiang Risong frowned: "Hongying, you must be careful in Ye Tingfang!" β
"Is it just me and Marshall? You're still on duty, huh? β
"Yes, this Chaoyan's activity has a great impact, it is very likely that there will be a war, if there is this moonlight flower in their hands, they should also be on guard, so that it will not be so rampant."
Hongying's face wrinkled and nodded: "Brother, you have to be careful!" β
"Chaoyan's targets seem to be paladins, I don't think I'm in danger, most of the knights' disappearances are in the area where the royal city and the Dora district meet. I don't think you're in great danger in Ye Tingfang. β
Marshall carried two heavy and large boxes: "Sir, everything is in order." I also contacted the hotel where I stayed temporarily. β
Xiang Risong nodded: "Have you finished eating?" β
Hongying wiped her mouth: "Okay." β
"You guys go first, and in a little while, it will be dark."
"Sir, then I'll take Miss with me."
"Be sure to take care of Hongying, did you hear that! If there is any more damage on Hongying's body, your life will not be enough for me to punish you. β
"Yes."
"Oops! Elder brother! Don't say that again! Crow's beak! β
When facing Hongying to speak, Xiang Risong always smiled: "Ahhhh Phew! If it's unlucky, all the bad words are gone, little girl, hurry up, be careful on the road. β
Hongying followed Marshall and walked out of the house.
A carriage had already stopped at the door of the house, and Hongying had to admire Marshall's efficiency, so she hoped that Marshall would leave Xiangri Song and fly to a broader sky.
Marshall put his luggage in the car and picked up Hongying.
Hongying was taken aback: "Ah! Scared the hell out of me. Marshall, tell me in advance. Besides, I can do it myself. β
Marshall did not show his usual professional smile, but looked at Hong Ying coldly: "In the future, it will be the two of us, and there will be no sunshine." β
Hongying was horrified by Marshall's 180-degree change: "Marshall, what's wrong with you?" Since the afternoon, I have been weird, I don't speak, and when I speak, I say things that I don't understand. β
Marshall didn't speak, and after carrying Hongying into the carriage, he asked the coachman to drive to Ye Tingfang. He sat down next to Hongying.
In the small carriage, Hongying felt embarrassed to be with Marshall for the first time, she focused all her attention on the window, and saw Jin Lily hurriedly running into Xiang Ri's house.
Jin Lily saw Xiang Himatsu standing at the door and shouted, "Himatsu! Something happened! Someone is missing again! β
"Who?"
"Four paladins, West Sea Breeze."
"How could he? Didn't we just get back together? β
"I went to change shifts with him, and he said it would be convenient to go, and then I didn't see him again, and I thought he had gone back, and then I found the card, and it was signed Phantom Smoke. In a moment, Occupy Siwei will come to our meeting. β
"It's already clear that it's going to start a fight." Xiang Himatsu closed the door, "Let's talk as we walk." β
"Not yet, if it's just an ordinary phantom array, we may still be able to crack it, but the phantom magic of the phantom smoke is too strong, and only the Zhan Siwei family, who uses healing magic, has the ability to fight against it in China."
"It's no wonder that Phantom Smoke set the beginning of the whole incident in the academy, so that Dean Zhan Siwei had a sense of frustration at the beginning, causing panic in front of the students, and then he took advantage of the victory to chase after him." Xiang Risong rubbed his brows, "I must catch him!" Bastard! "I actually involved Hongying.
Jin Lily looked at Xiang Risong and felt that he was full of a sense of justice, and the worship and admiration in his heart became stronger.
Xiang Himatsu suddenly remembered, "That's right! You said you had something to say to me. What do you want to say? β
Jin Lily suddenly stopped: "I...... Actually, I, I want to tell you. I like you. Although we have basically been together since we were children, just like Hongying said, I really don't know you yet, I want to know more about you. Can you give me this chance? β
"You want to know me? I think you already know me well. β
"I want to be with you."
Xiang Himatsu raised his eyebrows, only then did he realize that this was a confession. Xiang Risong shook his head: "I'm sorry......"
Jin Lily immediately stopped him from talking any more, and Xiang Risong shook his head and already gave her the answer: "Needless to say, I think I understand, you don't like me." It's okay, we're still friends. Let's go, let's go to a meeting. β
Golden Lily regretted not wearing clothes with pockets, and now she didn't know where to put her hands. She breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't have time to grieve.
The atmosphere in the conference room of the twenty-four councillors is particularly solemn, Xi Haifeng's sister Xi Haitang, the judge of the six palaces. Su Men's sister Su Shuixian, the judge of the eleventh house. There are also three Mophyli royal families: Princess Duo Xin, the judge of the first house, Princess Duo Wei, the judge of the third house, and Princess Mary Lili, the judge of the fifth house. The first two were worried about their families, while the last three royals were all worried that the incident would discredit the Morphyli royal family.
In addition to these five people, including the King and the Magic King, plus Dean Occius, there were ten people in the meeting.
Xiang Risong still can't stand such a tense atmosphere, and his thoughts will start to wander all the time. He sighed, hoping that Hongying and the others would be able to reach Ye Tingfang safely.
