Chapter Seventy-Two: Bait
From the bottom of the bookshelf, it was the lowest-level magic information, and many of the contents Ding Ruoyu was already familiar with his chest, and he hurriedly flipped through them, looking up one by one.
In addition to a lot of repetitive and lengthy text, these on the bookshelf are actually not too much, and I can really read them in a month.
Every morning, she picked out a dozen books and brought them back to the back room to read, so as not to disturb Lihong, who was refining medicine outside. It wasn't until ten days later that she saw the fourth floor, and the bookshelf was replaced by a special and simple codex on paper, and she opened the cover, and the first page was written with the words "dictating the floating boat" and compiling the two lines of "Yangkong".
Seeing that Lihong was idle, she leaned over with a handbook, pointed to one of the lines and asked, "Who is the floating boat?" Why does the name sound familiar? ”
Li Hong was stunned by her question, took a sip of tea and said in shock: "The floating boat and the Yangkong, these two people have disappeared five hundred years ago. ”
Ding Ruoyu sat next to him and flipped the pages of the book and said, "What they write is very interesting, and there are many original techniques that I have considered, but I have not directly tested them like him." ”
"You're still young, and when you're their age, maybe more than they will." Li Hong watched her turn her attention back to the spell, and her expression and tone returned to calm.
Ding Ruoyu was surprised: "You are so optimistic about me? ”
"If you didn't have talent, I wouldn't have brought you to Yanguo in the first place." Li Hong didn't even say a few nice words of coaxing, and she didn't have to say.
Ding Ruoyu was still a little lost in his heart, but he understood that he was able to say this sentence honestly, and it also came from his complete trust in her.
Although Lou Xue had told her in the inn that day that his feelings for her were special, no one would know better than herself that that kind of feelings had nothing to do with love. If you want to study it carefully, it is more like family affection, a sense of responsibility that can always think of each other.
She couldn't read the book for a while, held her cheeks, turned her face slightly to sneak a glance at him.
Even if he sat on the ground casually, he was so tranquil and noble, and from his point of view, he really had no heart-pounding emotions between men and women for her.
Seeing all this, Ding Ruoyu smiled self-deprecatingly.
For a whole stick of incense, she didn't turn a single page of the book.
Li Hong glanced at her lightly, reached out and tested the temperature of her forehead and said, "It's not burning, why is your face so red?" ”
Ding Ruoyu jumped up, holding the big stack of books and walked into the back room in a panic.
"I'm still a little younger, and I'm not stable at all." Lihong looked at the book she accidentally dropped and couldn't help but complain.
At the door, Nangong Yi buckled the copper ring and walked in, knelt down on one knee and saluted: "Master, intercept a secret letter that was secretly transmitted to Yuguo." The first one was not intercepted, this is the second one. ”
After Li Hong took the letter and read it, he sealed it as it was, handed it to Nangong and recalled: "Those who returned it to them will be sent to Yuguo." ”
"Master, this ...... Is it to be calculated? Nangong Yi guessed.
"Even if they don't do anything, they panic." Li Hong waved his hand to tell him to step down.
Nangong Yi pinched the letter and reacted when she went out. No matter how the letter is sent away, the other party can easily find out that the letter has fallen into the hands of someone else, so that the content of the letter loses its value. If the other party wants to remake the plan, it will take some time.
Through the bead curtain, Ding Ruoyu could clearly hear the sound outside. As soon as she looked up, Lihong came outside the curtain and whispered, "I'm sorry."
She walked over incomprehensibly and pulled him by the sleeve through the beaded curtain to stop him from leaving.
"It happened suddenly, the original plan had to be changed, and you could be in danger, but hold on until I come looking for you." Li Hong couldn't help her, so he had to explain it in a fog.
"I haven't recovered my strength yet." Ding Ruoyu turned to him, wanting to see his expression at the moment.
There was no expression, and Li Hong couldn't see the emotion in his eyes, but leaned over, hugged her thin body, and said in her ear: "When you fully recover, this set will not be done." ”
If it weren't for the understanding of him during this time, Ding Ruoyu would almost have made a move on him. This man knows all the time about intrigue and never treats everyone else as a human being. Listening to the meaning of his words, he has become a bait, and I don't know which unlucky guy he wants to take the bait?
"Last time, you opened your divine sense to Yu Feiqiong privately and broke the ban I set on him, and this time you came to do something, it can be regarded as a tie." Li Hong let go of his hand, and a light smile curled into his mouth, "Don't worry, I won't hurt anyone this time, I just want you to see something clearly." ”
After reading the book for a day, before dawn the next day, she was woken up by Lihong, changed into a death suit, and went around the grove to return to the underground training camp.
Everything went according to plan, but because her mental strength had not recovered, she refused Cunxin's invitation and stretched her muscles and bones alone in a secluded place. Li Hong told her not to do anything superfluous, and she had to treat it as a strange task that needed to wait silently.
After practicing alone for less than an hour, Chen Lan and others came around, and when they saw that she didn't dare to make large movements, they guessed that she was injured and asked nonsense.
"It's not a big deal, it's just that you can't use witchcraft for a month, and your internal strength is also depleted, so it's good to take care of it for a while." Ding Ruoyu answered truthfully. She had just returned from a mission, and injuries were inevitable, and others could easily believe it.
Looking at her increasingly clear face, Yu Feiqiong wanted to step forward, but at the moment of eye contact, she hurriedly shifted her gaze after seeing her take a cramped step back. He secretly clenched his fists, and a wisp of determination crossed his dark pupils.
This time she went out of the far gate, Ding Ruoyu's figure also grew a little, one inch taller than Chen Lan, who was not much shorter, which provoked her to hurriedly jump on the spot and start feeling tall, threatening that one day she would grow up soon.
Seeing that everyone laughed, they scattered again and practiced separately.
The sound of bangs, the end of the day, is not abnormal. Ding Ruoyu picked up the water bag and was about to walk back, but his wrist was held and he broke away from the large army that returned to the earth house.
Coming to the quiet red willow forest, Yu Feiqiong finally let go of her, stared at her in the dark for a moment and said, "I'm going back to Yuguo." ”
Ding Ruoyu stood in place and said softly: "Congratulations......"
"I said I'm leaving this place," he interrupted her, a little impatiently, "and you don't have anything else to say but Daoxi?" ”
The moonlight of Yanguo was still bright and clean, but it couldn't illuminate his backlit face. Ding Ruoyu slowly lowered his head, and after he asked, he was really speechless.
Thoughts drifted inexplicably to the night he came back, the same moonlight and the woods, but beside him stood another woman who could be said to have an enmity with her.
"There's nothing to say," she said suddenly, a little angry, "I wish you a smooth journey." ”
Raising her head again, she already had a smile on her lips that was just the right curvature, and said politely and distantly: "If there is nothing else, I will go back first." ”
This lukewarm attitude caused a burst of nameless anger in Yu Feiqiong's heart.
He held her back from leaving, pressed her against the trunk of a tree, his fingers almost digging into the bark, and suppressed his voice to keep himself from speaking: "I want to take you with me." ”
Half of his moonlit face was slightly distorted, and his teeth clenched as he finished speaking, as if he was forcibly restraining his emotions.
"I appreciate your kindness, but I can't leave yet." Ding Ruoyu also slowed down his tone, trying not to anger him again.
"Can't go?" Yu Feiqiong showed a strange smile, and her half-light and half-dark face looked a little hideous.
"Is it true that you are the man's concubine, as others say?" He paused for a long time, and finally said word by word.
The softness on Ding Ruoyu's face disappeared and became cold as ice.
She pushed his hand away, left the small space, narrowed the distance between the two, and sneered: "You can also believe the gossip of others." ”
"Do you know that your demeanor is exactly the same as his?" Yu Feiqiong stood in place, with a touch of sadness in her expression.
Ding Ruoyu still had that cold appearance, and suddenly sighed: "Then you and Wanlian, how can you explain it?" ”
She didn't want to mention it, but she didn't want to be held by him all the time.
Yu Feiqiong obviously didn't expect her to ask about this, and after being stunned, she laughed out loud, and walked towards her step by step: "Me and her? She's nothing more than a replacement for you! I never thought of taking her back to Yuguo. ”
"I still misread you." Ding Ruoyu smiled bitterly, "It's good to get together and disperse, I can continue to recognize you as a friend." ”
"No, I don't." Yu Feiqiong walked past her, controlled that she no longer turned to look at her, and said coldly, "You will regret it one day." ”
When he walked away, Ding Ruoyu Fang let go of the hand hidden under his sleeve, and the cold dagger was clenched in his palm.
The secret letter from Nangong Yi yesterday came from Yuguo, and then Lihong proposed to let her be a bait, and Yu Feiqiong came up tonight and said that she was going back...... As she walked, she thought, it seemed that these things were all connected.
The next day, everything was as usual, she did not deliberately show her estrangement from Yu Feiqiong, nor did she take the initiative to find him. Thinking back to last night's attitude, she regretted it a little, blaming herself for not controlling her emotions well, and forgetting to ask him how he had been preparing all along.
Being able to connect with the dark lines of other countries in the net of heaven and earth and lay out an escape is an unlikely thing in itself. Most people, even after a lifetime of planning, still fall short in the end.
A cold light pierced from behind, and Ding Ruoyu closed his eyes helplessly.
For so long, she has been used to this kind of look, and she doesn't need to look to know that it comes from Wanlian.
She leaned over and glanced at the weak water napping at the Xiang case at the back of the lobby and Yu Feiqiong, who was fighting with Youlan in front of her, pulled out her dagger and walked back, blocking directly in front of Wanlian.
"I've never faced you head-on, would you like to try?" She spoke in a calm tone as if she were any one else, without disgust or hatred, just as an ordinary invitation.
Wan Lian looked at her in astonishment, sneered, and took several steps back.
