Chapter 56: Take Her Away
After listening to his story, Ling Shan realized that he had forgotten to ask the identity of the person who came.
"I'm Lihong, I don't know if Lushi has mentioned it to you before." He looked at the dim fog above the bamboo forest, his deep eyes hiding all emotions.
Ling Shan lowered his head and looked at the debris on the ground, and said in silence for a moment: "Although I am not very old, I have also heard that you were locked up in the Heavenly Realm as an experimental subject for three hundred years. ”
Li Hong laughed, turned to look at him, and said helplessly: "It seems that I am quite famous in the Demon Clan." ”
Seeing him smile like this, the young man in the green shirt was full of sympathy.
didn't delay too long in the cave, and after seeing that his mana was restored, he used the space circle set up by Ling Shan to transfer back to the ground.
It was already midnight in the mortal realm, and the training square of the Dead Soldier Camp was empty, and he appeared with a burst of black and purple light, which would not cause others to watch.
He walked out of the big iron gate, followed the forest outside to the long street with sporadic lights, found the shop of the pastry chef in Dongye, and packed a delicate pastry.
Ding Ruoyu is cultivating in the side hall, and it is still Ziyan who serves her, and at this time, she still can't let the little girl stop, and she even has to come to serve her clothes.
She changed into a white cloth skirt with green bamboo, combed the girl's hair for the first time, and looked at Ziyan's notebook that she had moved from nowhere, gentle and quiet under the lamp.
Li Hong came in the silvery moonlight of the corridor, pushed open the half-hidden door, and gently placed the bag of pastries on the incense table in front of her.
"We've all had dinner." Ding Ruoyu only glanced at it, and turned his attention back to the script.
"It's not like you're going to eat it now." Li Hong turned around and left.
Ding Ruoyu put down the notebook, stood up and whispered, "Thank you." ”
She didn't dare to look at him, her hands on the desk, and her face turned to the side.
Li Hong stopped, smiled, and walked out again.
When he came to the door, he didn't reply: "You remember, even if your father harms you, I will not be unfavorable to you." There is no one else in this world who is better to you than me. ”
Ding Ruoyu looked at his back gradually blending into the night, standing in place. She had so many things to say and things to ask, but she knew that he couldn't tell her the answers right now.
In the post house of Agni City, Chen Lan was forced to go to Sui Han's room to "sleep" again. After two or three nights, she hardly fell asleep, and the other party didn't move. It's just that after each dawn, she feels like she is much lighter, more flexible, and feels refreshed even if she doesn't get enough sleep.
There was nothing to do during the day, she sat alone on the steps, and without meditating, she could send out a light wind blade, and in terms of magic, it seemed that she had broken through some invisible obstacle and raised a realm.
She thought that at night, Sui Han's palm was placed behind her back, and there seemed to be a subtle flow of mana in the haze, prompting her to improve her skills.
"Could it be...... He just wants to help me practice? Chen Lan was taken aback and jumped up.
happened to pass by, rolled her eyes at her and said, "Surprised, what kind of system!" ”
"Who is my Dao, it turned out to be the pet of the second prince of Xue." Chen Lan didn't spare him verbally.
"Whew! We are brothers! Pian flicked her sleeves exaggeratedly, and the orchid fingers were about to rise to the sky.
Chen Lan deliberately made a retching motion to anger him.
"Don't make a fuss." A clear voice came, and the two immediately stopped, snorted and turned back to the guest room to find Xue Mu, Chen Lan blinked in disdain, twisting his fingers to avoid it.
Although she is not good-looking, she is very cute when she is shy and blushing.
Sui Han walked over with a smile and stopped in front of her, asking her if she was aware.
Chen Lan intuitively felt that he was asking about spells.
In front of such a master, all the hiding was like child's play, and she said obediently: "Thank you for the help of the high priest, these two days...... It's really a lot better. ”
"Would you like to go further?" Sui Han saw that she was honest, and threw out the bait again.
Chen Lan nodded vigorously, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Since you are willing, before leaving, I will ask your Witch Emperor to leave you, and go with me to Shine Night City to practice magic." Take her away, that's his real purpose.
"W-What?" Chen Lan was stunned, not knowing what to do.
For her, it was her original mission to travel to the Snow Land to discover the true mysteries of them and the Celestials. However, after surviving in the Yan Country for so many years, there are some things that cannot be said to be parted with.
At this moment, there were two voices in her heart, constantly tugging, stirring up a mess in her mind.
Sui Han only acquiesced to her, and she had already walked away.
After staying in the Chiyun Palace for a total of three days, Ding Ruoyu's body had been cleared of the remaining poison, and he didn't find the figure of Lihong after walking around, so he asked Ziyan to bring a letter, saying that he had returned to the camp of the dead.
The girls in the small mud house finally gathered again, and before they could enter, they could hear Youlan's loud voice.
Ding Ruoyu shared the big bag of pastries that Lihong gave her with everyone, and Youlan praised the deliciousness of the pastries and began to talk about her previous mission.
disguised as a maid and infiltrated General Zhou Li's mansion, smeared poison in the lip grease of Mrs. Hua, who returned from victory, and made her look stupid.
Ding Ruoyu sat quietly and listened, and Youlan said: "People are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves...... We are this fate, if we don't do these hurtful things, we will die ourselves. ”
"Sister Youlan, don't mention these fights and kills, let's talk about something fun! Are there any strange stories? A curious girl asked.
"There is no strange news in the rivers and lakes, but I have heard of a happy event." Youlan's eyes lit up when she talked about what she had inquired about. If she hadn't been too eloquent, she should have been selected as an intelligence officer in the third group.
She took a sip of water to moisten her throat and continued: "When I was in General Zhou's mansion, I saw that the general received a wedding post, saying that in three months, Prime Minister Li Cheng's mansion was going to hold a marriage, and he was the eldest son of the third room who took over several commercial houses. ”
The eldest son of the third room of the Li Mansion...... Ding Ruoyu's face changed, and he slowly returned to his bunk and lay down in his clothes.
Li Yun......
She tugged at the quilt and thought of his cold attitude these days...... His every move is clearly avoiding something.
I am no longer the child I was a few years ago and still needed to be cared for.
"The richest one in the Li family?" Other girls are still gossiping and asking, "I don't know whose daughter he wants to tie the knot?" ”
Youlan smiled and deliberately sold a pass, until everyone was urging her, and then she said incomprehensibly: "The daughter of the Dongye Ding family." ”
"This ...... Not worthy of it, right? The girls discussed, "The concubine of the Hou Mansion, shouldn't she have been booked by the princes of Daye a long time ago?" ”
"But Dongping Hou agreed!" Youlan said triumphantly, "That second girl, it is said that she has been sent to Jiang Guo......"
On the floor, Ding Ruoyu got up with difficulty, grabbed Youlan's collar with a slight tremor and said, "You just said that the bride is the second girl of the Dongping Hou Mansion?" ”
Youlan was stared at by her cold eyes and broke out in a cold sweat, and nodded mechanically.
Ding Ruoyu let go of his hand, pushed away the girls in front of him, rushed out, and came to the Demon Suppression Tower like crazy.
The white-clothed girl outside the tower stretched out her hand to stop her, she gasped for breath, raised her face and said, "Is the Witch Emperor inside?" ”
The girl in white shook her head, and she immediately turned around and ran towards the weak water mansion.
Seeing Ding Ruoyu's breathless and crazy appearance, Weak Water didn't know how to comfort him for a while. helped her inside and drank a cup of tea before asking the reason.
"I want to see the Witch Emperor, I have something very important to look for him." Ding Ruoyu was choked by the water, and coughed for a while before hurriedly saying what he meant.
He went to the emperor to discuss the affairs of the court, and he did not know when he would return. Why don't you spend the night with me first, and I'll take you to see him early tomorrow morning." Weak Water Wen quietly made arrangements for her.
Ding Ruoyu had no choice, so she had to rely on her. When a person is lying in the guest room, he realizes how out of shape he is.
She couldn't understand why things had turned out the way they were.
Except for the shock when she first heard the news, she was left with more panic.
After a night of tossing and turning, the candles were burned out without cutting. Outside the window, it was gray, birds and insects were chirping, and everyone in the house was still asleep. She stood under the porch, waiting for Weak Water to send someone to pick her up.
The side door was pushed open by the guards, and there was a small sedan chair parked outside the door, which was the one that had taken her to the Chiyun Hall in the past.
Ding Ruoyu didn't bother the people in the weak water mansion, sat in a sedan chair, and the sun was rising when he came to the headquarters of the witch sect.
She saw the slender and tall figure standing upright in the hall, and ran straight over, almost catching it and throwing herself into his arms.
Her hands unconsciously grabbed the placket of his clothes, she didn't look up, and asked softly, "You want to marry Second Miss Ding, why?" ”
Li Hongping retreated from everyone, sat on the golden chair with her, looked at the empty and cold lobby and said, "It's just a formality, it won't do anything to you." ”
"That's why I hate you the most." Ding Ruoyu pulled his arm away and said, "I obviously don't like it, why are we still together?" ”
"This is the only way to protect you right now......" Li Hong did not deny her words, leaning back in the chair, his eyes were empty.
Ding Ruoyu always felt that something was wrong, frowned, and reached out to gently hold his face.
Li Hong turned his gaze to her, and there was gradually a trace of warmth in his dark and lonely eyes, and a strange smile curled into his mouth, and he said softly: "As long as you like it." ”
"I ......" Ding Ruoyu breathed a little, and he panicked like never before because of being broken by the Dao, but he couldn't control himself from looking away from him.
"I didn't like it before, but now I can. You still have to return to Ye Kingdom, and if you don't leave a safe way back, there will be no one to help you in the future. Li Hong put away his gentle smile, and his eyes returned to his former calm self-control, "I gave you all my assets, but not now, but three years from now." The day you leave the Yan Country, you will go to find Louxue and change some of your habits here. I'll tell you everything when you're really on your own. ”
Ding Ruoyu listened silently, but the more he listened, the more he felt like he was explaining what was going on.
