Chapter 179: The Fish Dies, the Net Breaks
When Xiao Chen and Nan Jinyu came over slowly, they heard such a passage outside the gate of the main courtyard, and the two of them glanced at each other and walked in with a swagger.
"Is this who is going to get married?"
Nan Jinyu smiled and glanced at Li Huanting, and suddenly felt that Ji Lingfeng was a smart person.
If he doesn't marry such a good girl, if he is single in the future, there is nothing to do with others who are single by strength!
"Don't marry!"
Seeing Nan Jinyu coming, Li Huanting still had no intention of getting up, so she moved her buttocks on the spot, leaned against Nan Jinyu's side, and grabbed the hem of her clothes, as if she had a backer by doing so.
"His Royal Highness the King of Qin has seen His Royal Highness, and His Highness has smiled." When Lord Yu saw Xiao Chen coming, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on his face.
"Just continue, and the main hall will not interfere in family affairs."
Xiao Chen bowed slightly, turned around and sat down to the side, and drank tea leisurely, looking ready to watch the excitement.
Li Cishu turned his head to look at Li Huanting, who was holding Nan Jinyu's trouser legs, and said angrily.
"Hurry up! What does the girl's family look like? You're pulling a boy like that...... Oh no! Anyway, you have to marry if you marry, and you have to marry if you don't marry, and this matter is decided! β
"I don't! Not really! Don't marry, don't marry, don't marry! Father, you are doing this in vain for your daughter's happiness, and you will take revenge on your daughter's life-saving benefactor, I will not agree to die! β
Li Huanting was very aggrieved, she simply hugged Nan Jinyu's leg and didn't let go, she couldn't agree to anything, Yongning Hou Shizi has a good temperament, but people are not wronged!
"Ahem! Are you really going to become a monk......"
Li Cishu was embarrassed, his eyes kept drifting to King Qin who was sitting on the side, and he was relieved to see that his expression was as usual, and he couldn't see any signs of anger.
"Wan Ting, you let go of me first, let's get up and talk, okay?"
Nan Jinyu saw that Ji Lingfeng kept giving her a look, afraid that if she didn't do something, Xiao Chen's vinegar essence would be on the head, so she could only be forced to open her mouth and kick it.
"Hmm...... If I get up, this momentum will be lost! β
Li Huanting tilted her head to look at Nan Jinyu, she smirked and was a child, liking is one thing, forcing her to marry is another, Bai Ying, who was about to kill and poison, also begged but couldn't fall into that fate, she didn't want to repeat the mistakes of the past!
"Poof!"
Nan Jinyu couldn't hold back her laughter, seeing that she didn't hold on to her legs, just like the stray cats she often fed in her previous life, she suddenly squatted down with a motherly hair, and raised her hand to stroke Li Huanting's head.
"You see, the current situation is not that Lord Li is forced to marry, but that the prince of Yongning asks to marry, you must know how many women in Yanjing can't get his blue eyes even if they can't get him, and now they want to marry you."
"Uh...... Why does that sound so wrong? β
Li Huanting blinked, having said that, but the truth was not the truth, and retorted: "Obviously, after his father forced him to marry, he was forced to agree, this is different!" β
"What's the difference?"
Nan Jinyu was surprised, seeing Ji Lingfeng's forehead headache, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her lower lip.
Love at first sight is a metaphysics, and these two can be regarded as lucky!
"Hmm...... It's just different anyway! My Li family is not a Zhong Ming Ding food family, my father's military generals were born in the history of the four products, and they have always taught their children to be upright, but now they want to take revenge on people, and I feel disgusted as a woman! β
Li Huanting shook her head, her stubborn appearance was like a sharp resignation blowing his beard and staring, and the father and daughter were carved out of the same mold.
"Master Li is well-taught, what you said is indeed right, but I, a bystander, look at this matter, but it is not as you say."
Nan Jinyu pondered for a moment, feeling that things could be changed from a different angle, otherwise this solid-eyed girl would probably make a fuss.
Besides, emotional things can't be stopped, and without a cooling-off period, both parties will feel that they are at a loss, so it's better to let them both think clearly......
"Why? Hasn't the county lord always helped me speak? Why are you so close to them? β
Li Huanting said dissatisfied, her eyes stayed on Ji Lingfeng, and comforted: "Don't worry, I mean what I say." β
ββ¦β¦β
Ji Lingfeng felt his heart twitch fiercely, and he wanted to explain something, but he felt that the more he described it, the darker it became, so he could only sigh silently.
This girl's axial nature is really powerful enough, but the timing is really wrong at this time, the marriage shouldn't be so hasty, and it's normal for her to be unhappy.
"Otherwise, forget it, Miss Li's reputation is important, but she looks down on the Hou Shizi of Yongning so much, if Lord Li is forced to marry, it may cause a tragedy."
Nan Jinyu sighed and said earnestly.
"Huh? Is that it, that's it? β
Li Cishu turned around a little and tried his best to cooperate with Nan Jinyu's performance.
"Yes, after all, your daughter is yours, you can't really force her to become a sister-in-law, right? It's a big deal that her reputation is ruined, and the Li family will support her for a lifetime! As for Miss Li's two sisters-in-law, I have also heard of one or two, she has been treated very well over the years, and she will not be wronged if she wants to come to Lord Li's palm pearl. β
Nan Jinyu said sincerely, and these words almost made Xiao Chen, who was sitting on the side drinking tea, laugh, and forcibly turned his head before holding back.
It's a pity that this fox doesn't act in the legendary book!
"The county lord is right...... How could someone be willing to let her daughter become a sister-in-law? It's a big deal, the Li family will raise her for the rest of her life! β
Li Cishu sighed, and the tense appearance suddenly became an old father who was worried about the vicissitudes of life, and Ji Lingfeng was stunned.
"But this ......"
Ji Lingfeng wanted to say something, but found that his words were pale and had no position, and he was speechless for a while.
"Let the virtuous nephew be frightened, the Marquis of Yongning doesn't have to worry about it, the Li family knows how to repay it, and we will remember the grace of saving lives!"
Without waiting for Ji Lingfeng to say something, Master Li had already taken back his words.
"Dongchuan Mansion will also remember." Lord Yu followed suit, and looked at Nan Jinyu's eyes with a smile of three points.
If the old man is here, it is very gratifying to see a woman like this, right?
"The two adults are serious, this matter is what Ling Feng should do."
Ji Lingfeng saluted properly, and his heart suddenly felt like a hole, and the wind leaked from the hula.
The feeling of being rejected turned out to be like this, and he never felt that the real gains and losses were like this......
More than a dozen state and county officials in Huainan changed blood, and at the same time, Dongchuan Prefecture was locked down.
Dongchuan Mansion, which seems to be prosperous and quiet, is as complex as a spider web, and the dark river is intercepted, and many underground trading organizations have surfaced.
"Jianghu Bai Xiaosheng, the news of the monopoly dealer is one or two pieces of silver!"
"Only you can't think of what we don't have, real money and silver are like fake pearls and jade in the Western Regions!"
"Peerless beauty, a dance in the city, commonly known as the ...... of Yanjing"
The lively underground night market, shouting one after another, full of weirdness and strangeness, because of this, the person who was seriously injured by dirty blood and half of his body and mandied hair did not attract the attention of passers-by.
The people who come here are either living too well or they can't live anymore, either way, they have no interest in an outlaw, they only look at money.
Boom!
A weak black shadow slammed into the shouting flower door, and the people at the door were startled, only to see that the people on the ground had rolled into the ground, not at all like the half-dead appearance of the aisle when he was a child.
"Hell ......"
The turtle who was guarding the door scratched his head, picked up the messenger on the side, and pulled the colorful rope inside, and then there was a crisp bell in the spiral staircase down, which rang three times before giving up.
In the gentle township where the underground is like a spider web, after everyone heard three bells, they closed the door one after another, and a thug led the bustard out and waited at the entrance.
"I'm going to see what's going on...... Ouch! β
Before the old bustard with a golden step on his head could finish speaking, he was stunned by the bloody man rolling down the steps, and took a few steps back one after another, but the shrewd mouse eyes stared at the face of the person on the ground.
"Mom, be careful!"
The thugs hurriedly protected the old bustard, the stick blocked the black shadow that rolled down, and the body that was as thin as a firewood stick was not worth a few silver, why did the gatekeeper think it was a superb?
"Dog thing with no eyes, is this also a place where you can drill casually?"
The old bustard patted the half-dead person, looked at the deep wound on half of her face with disgust, and spoke in a tone like a cook buying meat in a vegetable market.
"Poof!"
The scolded person slowly raised his eyes, spit out dirty blood from his mouth, and his bright face was a little smiling, "I can earn money for you and save me." β
"Poof!"
The old bustard seemed to hear the biggest joke in the world, pointed to half of her ruined face and said, "You earn money for me?" I'm scared of the guests and I'm going to have to lose money! β
"Enter the secret door and be a killer."
Bai Sakura didn't look at her, slowly stretched out her hand, and handed over a bronze order.
Bang dang!
The token fell to the ground, startling everyone around them, and everyone including the bustard fell silent.
"You ......"
The old bustard spoke again, but saw that the man with the stick had his head down, and the blood on the ground had gathered into a puddle, as if he was about to die. 187
"Yu Niang, do you want to save it?"
The thug stepped forward to hold the person, and the tone of inquiry was full of horror.
"What a bad luck! Carry it in, bring it in! β
The old bustard, who was called Jade Niang, waved his hand again and again, and his wrinkled face flashed a little stunned.
They still have to come after all, and they can't stop it and can't escape......
The person who "fainted" knew that he was saved, and a smile slowly appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Tossed until midnight, when Nan Jinyu went back to her room to sleep, it was already dawn.
"Master, the person didn't leave Dongchuan Mansion, but he didn't find it." Nightshade's face was not very good, and he felt that this was his dereliction of duty.
If she is out of the city, it will be easier to track, but she is hiding in Dongchuan Mansion, and it is even more difficult to find someone in Dongchuan Mansion!
"Keep checking, have you checked the dark market?"
Xiao Chen didn't raise his eyes, and his expression didn't change much, but the more this happened, the more guilty Night Shadow felt.
"The dark market is still being investigated, and all the places where the medical hall inn and the inn are located in the bright face have been checked, and there are many people in the dark market, and the brothers are afraid of startling the snakes, so they use all their networks to investigate, but the speed may be slower."
After Night Shadow finished speaking, her eyes couldn't help but drift to Nan Jinyu, and she was relieved to see that she was just not in good spirits, sitting aside to eat.
"Check as soon as possible, after the successor official in Huainan comes, the situation will only become more complicated, and you will see people alive and dead or corpses."
Xiao Chen pursed his lips, and there was no longer the slightest nostalgia in his heart.
"Yes! Subordinates receive orders! β
Nightshade answered, bowed out, and after closing the door, he happened to bump into the person behind him.
"Hmm......"
Night Charm was hit by him and almost vomited blood, covered her chest and took a few steps back, wanting to get angry and look at the blue and black eyes of the person in front of her, and endured the words again.
"Are you alright?"
Nightshade held him on the shoulder, and when he saw his painful face, he couldn't help but raise his hand to pull him, but the other party brushed his hand away, and even walked around him to the door.
"It's okay, the leader goes and gets busy."
After saying that, Night Charm pushed the door and entered, leaving the night shadow stunned in place, and his hand was still raised in mid-air before he had time to retract it.
ββ¦β¦β
Nightshade sighed silently and turned to leave.
Li Huanting was lying in her room, subconsciously looking out of the window, and suddenly remembered that most of the guest house had been destroyed and could not live in it, and Ji Lingfeng had also moved to the east courtyard to live, and she couldn't help but feel empty in her heart.
"My brain...... I'm afraid I'm stupid! β
Lying on the bed, tossing and turning, remembering the scenes that happened last night, regret arises spontaneously.
If it weren't for her damned self-esteem, she would be the rightful fiancΓ©e of the Marquis of Yongning at this time, although it is ugly to be forced to marry, but who cares how she married before she got married?
Besides, what the county lord of Tianqing said was right, his father forced him to marry, but Ji Lingfeng himself answered with his mouth, and it was not the knife on his neck that forced him to marry!
"What's stupid?"
After a moment of stunnedness, there was a voice outside, which didn't sound very real.
Ji Lingfeng pushed open the door, and saw Li Wanting lying on the couch with her feet crossed, with two big words of regret written on her face, and an ugly doll in her hand and talking to herself.
"Well, stupid is stupid, what else is stupid? That's one of the most beautiful men in Yanjing...... Am I not married? β
Li Huanting was still trapped in her own small world, and she rolled on the couch twice with a heartbroken chest, and almost took a pillow to greet her head.
"Huh? What do you mean by that? β
Ji Lingfeng paused, and the tray in his hand was still wafting with the hot fragrance of medicine.
"Literally! If there is no forced marriage, the Hou Shizi of Yongning is indeed a rare two, but it's a pity......"
Li Huanting didn't react at all, and it was not the villain in her heart who was talking to her, but a living person.
"It's a pity that you missed it? So in your heart, do you think he's good? β
Ji Lingfeng said with his chin in his hand, and put the tray aside.
"Not really! Born so good-looking, more gentle than my two sisters-in-law, the most important thing is that the smile is really seductive, you probably haven't seen it......"
Li Wanting suddenly asked as she spoke, and when she looked at a tray on the table next to the couch, she suddenly realized that she was talking to herself again.
"Haven't seen anything?"
Ji Lingfeng tilted his head, and the smile on his face was almost unbearable, but thinking that he was always a girl with thin skin, he still held back.
"I haven't seen it...... Shizi! β
Li Wanting slowly turned her head, and after making sure that the person standing behind her was Ji Lingfeng, she looked like she had seen a ghost on her face, and she instantly hated that she could dig into it.
"Huh? Haven't you seen me? β
Ji Lingfeng didn't care if she wanted to cry without tears, he came over with a medicine bowl and sat down next to her, "Drink the medicine, it's just right now." β
"Oh!"
Li Wanting swallowed her saliva violently, took the medicine cup in his hand with a dead face, and poured it into it with her head in her breath.
"Hey...... Bitter! β
Ji Lingfeng didn't have time to stop her, and saw that a bowl of medicine had bottomed out, Tianqing said that today's medicine added a few detoxifications, and the poison on her body was completely solved after taking it for half a month, and she didn't want her to dry it up.
"Yes...... Bitter to death. β
Li Huanting sighed, the baby was bitter, but the baby didn't say anything.
This time it's all gone, right? How will we see each other in the future? I'm afraid that I won't get along with each other from old age!
"Well, I've got candy here."
Only then did Ji Lingfeng remember the candy that Nan Jinyu handed him, and he was also blinded by His Royal Highness King Qin because of this, it turned out that he had expected this result.
"What sugar?"
Li Huanting suddenly forgot about the embarrassment, came up to him, and stared at the sugar jar in his hand with burning eyes.
The delicate glass bottle was filled with colorful candies, which she had never seen before, and it was delicious when she looked at it......
"I haven't eaten it either, it was given to me by the county lord of Tianqing."
Ji Lingfeng opened the jar, poured out a few for her, and finally put the lid back on it and put it aside, "The county lord asked me to bring it to you." β
"Oh! She's so nice...... I miss my mother...... Woowoowoo......"
Li Huanting was stunned, stuffed the candy in her palm into her mouth, and felt that she was lacking in heart and eyes while eating, and cried with a whimper.
"Hey......"
Ji Lingfeng was panicked by her crying, and raised his hand to wipe her tears, but found that after she started crying, her tears were like beads with broken threads, and she couldn't wipe them all.
"Wow, ah, ah......"
Li Huanting saw that Ji Lingfeng not only didn't cry and ran away from her, but she was still a little worried about her, and couldn't help crying, she was so stupid, such a good man would marry even if he married with despicable means!
Now, even if she wants to regret it, there is no regret medicine!
"Don't cry...... Miss Li, if you cry and cry again, the people in the Assassin's Mansion should think that I am bullying you......"
Ji Lingfeng panicked, raised his hand and patted her shoulder, but found that it was not only useless, but even stimulated her to cry more and more.
"Gah?"
Li Huanting choked violently, the outermost layer of sugar in her mouth melted, and all kinds of flavors emanated, as if she had seen fireworks during the New Year's Festival.
"Lord Li is ...... outside"
Ji Lingfeng blinked, pointed in the direction of the door, and was relieved to see that she finally stopped crying.
"Ahem!"
Li Huanting almost choked, but the tears she had suppressed instantly filled her eyes again, "This candy is too delicious!" β
"Sugar ...... It's Tianqing who does it, if you like it, you can ask her how to learn how to do it. β
Ji Lingfeng smiled, this is clearly a child's heart, where did he get the courage to insist on not marrying?
"Well, I'll go find the county lord! Do you want to go out together? It's dawn and it's time to go to bed, ah no! It's dawning, it's dawning......"
Li Huanting stood up incoherently, and she didn't care that her hair was messy, her face was already crying like a cat, and she was about to go out barefoot.
"Don't go anywhere now, rest first."
