Chapter 147: Persuasion
The night rain made Xiangyun City, which was already located in the north, more and more cold and wet.
In the second half of the night, the rain turned to snow, and the silvery light shone into the house through the window paper, giving the illusion that it was dawning early.
Ding Ruoyu pushed open the window and looked, the cold wind poured in with the fine snow, and she couldn't open her eyes for a while, so she hurriedly closed the window tightly.
She took out a thick cloak to cover herself, and then opened the door again, and under the porch she was huddled in a translucent enchantment with a coppery yellow shimmer, and glanced at her when she heard the movement, and said lightly: "You can come in if you feel cold." ”
Looking at the courtyard again, a man in white was elegantly figured in the ice and snow whirling, and he didn't know what miraculous skills he was practicing.
Ding Ruoyu chose to hide in the enchantment without hesitation, and was instantly blocked out by the wind and frost, she took off her cloak and said next to Lihong: "What are you doing in the morning?" ”
"He wants to practice, and he pulls me." Li Hong was listless and leaning against the pillar, and then suddenly he had the energy, pulled her closer, and gently hugged her in his arms.
"This ...... It's public, isn't it? Ding Ruoyu didn't dare to move, for fear that he would become more and more excessive.
"Help me once, just get to him." Li Hong leaned down and whispered in her ear.
Ding Ruoyu couldn't help laughing, and whispered: "Why are you so black-hearted?" ”
In the empty courtyard, Sui Han, who was supposed to split a small snow crystal into six petals with the wind blade, happened to catch a glimpse of this scene, and got goosebumps all over his body, not only flew off the wind blade, but also almost slipped and fell.
What's going on with those two? Think you can't see them by hiding in the barrier? Actually openly ...... in an open field The two of them leaned their heads together, and they didn't know what they were doing, and the key parts would be blocked by the ponytail that Li Hong was crooked on the top of their heads, which was really infuriating.
"Hey! Be affectionate, go back and be affectionate, don't be an eyesore here! Sui Han couldn't bear it for a moment, and shouted at them with his sword.
"Huh", the barrier disappeared immediately, and it seemed to be waiting for his words. The two of them quickly rushed back into the house as if they were frozen to death, and closed the door tightly.
"No, he shouldn't be helping me...... Bastard monster! Only then did Sui Han react, he finally persuaded the other party to come to discuss the improvement of the technique, but he actually let him go.
Shunzi, who was sweeping the floor in the yard in the morning, came over with sleepy eyes, and was stunned when he saw his pestle in the snow, rubbing his frozen red hands and stepping forward and said, "This master, the backyard is not allowed to enter without permission." ”
"I'm Suihan." The man in white shook off the snowflakes on his shirt in a dashing manner, and introduced himself with his sword behind his back.
"Years ...... I haven't heard of it, so please leave. Junko grabbed the broom between her legs and stretched out her arms to make a gesture of return.
"You haven't heard my name?" Sui Han said angrily and funny, pointed to his eyes, bent down slightly and asked Junzi, who was a little shorter than him, "What color do you think my eyes are?" ”
Junzi didn't look at it and said: "Uncle, don't look for little happiness, please leave quickly, otherwise it will be terrible to be seen by the masters in the backyard." ”
"I've been here in your backyard several times, how can there be so many broken rules," Sui Han said, "You say master?" Okay, I'll wait here. ”
"Aren't you embarrassed?" Junko froze in the ice and snow, and it was neither left nor left to go.
In the wing, Ding Ruoyu listened to the movement outside and wanted to go out to relieve the siege, but was stopped by the people around him.
"Let him solve it himself, otherwise he thinks that everywhere is the night city, and he can come and leave as he wants." Lihong leaned against the fireplace, a hint of teasing crossed his face, slightly flushed by the firelight.
Ding Ruoyu always felt that he was looking badly, so he honestly sat beside him and roasted the fire, secretly praying in his heart that Lou Xue and they wouldn't get up too late.
As a result, two hours later, the door opened in the next room.
On a cold day, her master, like many animals, likes to "hibernate".
Under the corridor, the cold wind blew for two whole hours, and was finally let in.
He didn't look at the rest of the people, and rushed straight to Ding Ruoyu's room, and with a wave of his hand, the wind was wrapped in snow and gravel, and he was about to destroy the entire wing.
Suddenly, a burst of demonic fire gushed out, burning the wind, and at the same time engulfing the large and small hidden weapons in the wind, and a blackened tongue of fire rolled out, attacking Sui Han, threatening to burn his hair.
But that's just a little bit worse.
Immediately, there was a bang, and someone used a water spell to extinguish the fire, turning it into a large black mist that was choking, and the entire corridor inside and outside the wing room became as if it had been flooded.
"This is my house!" Ding Ruoyu shouted.
Everyone looked at the water probe, and everything in the chamber was charred, and it was pitifully floating in the ankle-length sewage.
Li Hong lifted the hem of his soaked clothes and walked out, stopped when it was cold, patted him on the shoulder and said solemnly: "You pay." ”
"Whew!" If it weren't for the fact that there were too many people on the scene, Sui Han really wanted to immediately pull out his sword and poke him in a few transparent holes.
It was freezing cold, the cleaned house was empty, and even the clothes he had prepared were burned, so Ding Ruoyu had to change into the men's clothes of other small servants, and pestered Lou Xue to buy ready-to-wear clothes in the deserted market.
Junzi, who was traveling with him, was rushing back together with a few winter clothes that the two had chosen, when a group of officers and soldiers suddenly appeared along the way and surrounded them.
The leader was Yu Feiqiong's personal guard Lao Han, with a usual serious demeanor on his face, and took two steps towards her and said, "Miss Ding, Your Highness is invited." ”
The big guards were so polite that Ding Ruoyu couldn't shirk at all, so he had to say goodbye to Lou Xue and go back, and then got into the carriage where the guards had already stopped at the intersection.
There was nothing to say all the way, Ding Ruoyu leaned on the wall of the car and thought about what to say when she saw Yu Feiqiong, and the car stopped before she could get out, she lifted the curtain and saw that it was the house where she was imprisoned that day.
Ding Ruoyu's demeanor instantly became gloomy, and after the car stopped, he didn't say a word, and walked inward with the guards coldly, trying not to think about what he had experienced in the past few days.
Before entering, I heard the sound of silk and bamboo, and the playing was a folk tune, which was interesting. Dan Ding Ruoyu was not in the mood to enjoy it at the moment, and strode into the door without squinting, looking up at the young man in Chinese clothes half-leaning on the soft couch behind the main hall.
"Miss Ding brings!" After the guards reported it, they retreated with the Maiko musicians.
Ding Ruoyu had changed into men's clothes in the ready-to-wear store, wrapped in a big thick jacket with bells and whistles that Lou Xue had to choose for her, covering her tall and slender body, with her face slightly tanned in the summer sun, and the hemp braids that had just been unloaded from the men's bun, she looked like a village girl who was used to farm work.
She also wrapped her hands in her sleeves, even if her facial features were quite pretty, she couldn't hide the funny all over her body.
Yu Feiqiong was so frightened that she suddenly got up from the couch, pointed at her for a long time and said, "Miss Ding's eyes are really different. ”
"The people see His Royal Highness the Prince." Ding Ruoyu still had his hands in his sleeves, and he was clumsily preparing to kneel, but was stopped by Yu Feiqiong on the three steps.
"You never saluted when you saw me in the past, how can you be so behaving today?" He didn't want to give her any good looks, but he broke the gong, and hurriedly let go of his hand and retreated two steps away.
Ding Ruoyu thought for a while and said: "After all, there is a difference between respect and inferiority, if you get used to being neither big nor small, you will always be criticized by others in the future." ”
Yu Feiqiong was silent, her deep eyes stared at her, and suddenly with a wave of her hand, a wisp of black smoke quickly came out of her sleeve and wrapped around her wrist.
"Bondage?" Ding Ruoyu swung out the Dao Golden Mang to cut it apart, put his hand back again, and asked, "You have already learned the Demon Clan's magic, and you are from the Ghost Slayer Sect?" ”
"How do you know about slaying ghosts?" Yu Feiqiong put down her hand and tightened her face, so as not to expose too many emotions too early.
Ding Ruoyu raised his head and observed the surroundings of the roof, and said in a low voice for a long time: "I have something important to tell you separately, and it is best not to leave anyone else in the house." ”
"Come with me." Yu Feiqiong was suspicious, put a bag in her arms into a locked drawer, and led her to a lonely pavilion in the backyard.
The surrounding area is empty, and if there are others hiding, you can see it at a glance.
"Not only people, but also demons can't be present." Ding Ruoyu stood in the pavilion.
"He's not here, let's talk." Yu Feiqiong also walked over and sat on the stool next to the stone table.
Ding Ruoyu was far away from him, leaning on the carved wooden pillars supporting the top around the pavilion, looking at the dry lotus pond with a layer of snow accumulated below, and said: "The ghost slayer must still tell you, my name is Fuzhou, and I have an enmity with you." ”
"How do you know?" Yu Feiqiong was calmer than expected, just staring at her with inquiring eyes.
"This matter also involves Duan Lianggong." Ding Ruoyu's mind turned around and began to persuade, rubbing all the true and false together, and telling him that Duan Lianggong still had arrangements to kill the defectors of the Tianluo Palace behind his back, and the instigator behind the scenes was very likely to be the ghost slayer himself or his accomplice.
Seeing that Yu Feiqiong was not moved, she said in a deep voice: "The other party refers to all the dead soldiers who fled, and ...... It should also include a certain royal relative who didn't say hello before and returned directly to Xiangyun City. ”
"Me?" Yu Feiqiong got up and came to her.
"The demon slayer is a demon clan, and he is in the same place with you, can he really completely put his mind at ease?" Ding Ruoyu did not avoid it, but was concerned, and did not mention the identity of this person at all.
"You mean he has ulterior motives?" The young man in the costume stiffened his face, flicked his sleeves, and put his hands behind his back.
That day, he accidentally saved the ghost slayer who was dying by the thunderstorm, this person said that he was strong in mana, and was left to be a guest, and then Yu Feiqiong knew that he was a demon.
Ghost slaying is wild and uninhibited, and there is no sense of dignity and inferiority. Yu Feiqiong cherishes his talents, and has always been laissez-faire, never thinking that he has other purposes.
"As the prince of Yuguo, you are extremely noble, and they will definitely find a powerful character to deal with." Ding Ruoyu said, "As for me...... He wants to get rid of me because I will be on your side in this matter. Anyone who changes an obstacle like this will not hesitate to solve it. ”
