Chapter 87

It was already the next morning when the two of them came out of the Fire Cloud Palace. Because after this day, I will come to the palace again tomorrow. The palace should now be inhabited by many young ladies from many families. Changning didn't want to deal with them. He was ready to go back to Liufu immediately.

The two of them stood in a garden not far from the Huoyun Palace, which led directly to the Chengxu Courtyard where Wen Xu lived.

"You're really not going to sit with me?" Wen Xu said indifferently, but he paid attention to Changning's expression with the corner of his eye.

Changning stretched out his hands that had been tired for a day, and said a little lazily, "I think it's better to forget it, I have to deal with a lot of people tomorrow, let's go back and have a good rest today." I don't want my miserable life to start today. ”

The disappointment in Wen Xu's eyes flashed. But he nodded and said to Changning, "Then do you want me to send you back?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.

Changning looked at the surrounding environment, only to feel that there were houses everywhere at a glance, and he was worried that he would get lost, so he nodded a little embarrassedly.

Wen Xu smiled gently and walked out side by side with Changning. The two of them just walked quietly, and no one spoke, but the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious, and there was a faint warmth.

"Cousin." A voice of surprise came from not far away.

Changning turned his head away. A delicate and beautiful girl slowly came from the aisle in her direction, her eyes kept following Wen Xu's figure, her white face with a soft smile, and a pair of bright eyes looked at Wen Xu's gaze focused and obsessed.

Wen Xu's smile suddenly converged, and he turned around expressionlessly, exuding a faint coldness on his body, with an indifference that rejected people thousands of miles away. He just glanced at the girl from the corner of his eye, and then looked at Changning again.

"Cousin, where are you going early in the morning? I can't even find you. The girl walked briskly to Wen Xu and said coquettishly.

Changning looked at the two back and forth, and some didn't understand their way of getting along. From that girl's point of view, she seemed to be accustomed to Wen Xu's attitude towards her now, and she didn't care at all, and she didn't feel that she was being treated coldly by Wen Xu. Instead, it feels very good.

Wen Xu has no usual clarity and gentleness, and the whole person is like a perennial ice peak in the North Pole, cold and waveless. In Changning's opinion, his current appearance is really not very likable, who likes to use his hot face to stick to other people's cold butts?

But some people like it, Changning just finished thinking about it, and heard the girl's soft voice.

"Cousin, look, I made you your favorite osmanthus cake today." The girl said as she lifted the basket in her hand. "How? Doesn't look too bad, right? There are many mistakes, and I specially asked the cook in your palace to learn them. He said you like this kind of pastry the most. ”

The faint sweet smell of the food immediately made Changning's stomach react after being hungry all night, not to mention that the basket contained her favorite pastries. She thought the pale yellow dim sum in the blue looked so tempting that she couldn't help but want to try it.

"Are you hungry?" Wen Xu asked Changning gently.

"I'm a little hungry." But she didn't plan to eat the osmanthus cake in that basket, it was specially made for Wen Xu. So he continued, "Is there something wrong with you?" Or I'll go back myself. ”

The girl standing on the side only discovered Changning's existence at this time, she looked at Changning in disbelief, and then at Wen Xu, revealing a hurt look. A little tear flashed in his eyes, as if he was about to cry.

Changning was taken aback, he didn't seem to bully her, right? There are many words, and he looked at Wen Xu a little speechlessly.

Wen Xu glanced at the girl unhappily, directly took Changning's hand, and walked quickly outside the palace, ignoring the girl who was still standing there sluggishly.

As the taste of the sweet osmanthus cake became weaker and weaker, Changning was pulled out of the palace by Wen Xu in a moment. It was still early, and only the guards saw them all the way, but they turned a blind eye to them with great respect. I didn't meet anyone else on the way. Changning relieved himself, pulled Wen Xu's hand, and said vigilantly, "I don't want to be the number one news for the gossip masses tomorrow." Be careful next time. It's a big deal. ”

Wen Xu asked leisurely, "Isn't that enough to be in public?" ”

"Huh?" Changning glanced at Wen Xu and immediately corrected, "That's not it. Anyway, if you make me become the gossip object of the three aunts and six mothers-in-law, you will be good-looking at that time. ”

Wen Xu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, but did not make a sound. Changning directly thought that he had acquiesced. He no longer grasped the topic, touched his stomach that had just felt hungry and said, "I'm going back first, I'll see you tomorrow." ”

After Changning finished speaking, he got into the carriage that had been waiting on the side.

"See you tomorrow." After Wen Xu watched Changning walk away, he glanced in the direction of the palace in disgust and walked in the other direction.

After Changning returned to Liufu, he ate a beautiful meal, and then slept heartily. Then I found a few pieces of jewelry in the box that matched the newly made collar and planned to use it tomorrow. After preparing everything, she called Akaichi and prepared to handle official business.

"Where is Liu Zhong now?" Thinking of the secret protector who had saved him before, Changning asked with some confusion.

"He's already back to Smoke City?" Chi Yi glanced at Chang Ning and replied cautiously.

"Home?" Changning asked in surprise, "Then who will protect my safety?" ”

"The head of the family has now sent five more sixth-order secret guards to Shengjing, and they have been around you all the time." Chiichi said with a smile.

Changning nodded at this time, indicating that he was a little satisfied.

"The head of the house should be here tonight too." Chi Yi took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Chang Ning and said, "The decision of the head of the family to come to Shengjing is a temporary decision. The letter was received only this morning. ”

Changning frowned and flipped through it casually, just saying that he was going to Shengjing to deal with affairs, and he would arrive tonight, and there was nothing else.

Liu Wenchang rarely leaves Yancheng, except for major events, he generally does not leave Yancheng, the base camp of the Liu family. What the hell is going on? Changning felt a little headache. Since coming to Shengjing, troublesome things have continued.

For his uncle, Changning still has a little mustard in his heart. How much does Uncle know about the Feng family? The Feng family dealt with themselves, had plans for themselves, and then besieged and killed, how much do these uncles know? Or was he just watching from the sidelines? Still is......

Changning was a little afraid to imagine along this line of thought.

Sometimes the more you care, the easier it is to misunderstand. Similarly, the more you care, the more vulnerable you become. Now for these things, Changning is still confused, there is no way to sort it out, perhaps, only waiting for the day to come, time can prove everything.

Chi Yi had been paying attention to Changning's expression, and seeing that she was entangled and confused, she regained her clarity. Knowing that she had figured something out. Although he had always known Changning's worries these days, he couldn't do anything about it, because he was also very conflicted and uncertain in his heart. It can happen in this world, and he can't guess with his feelings, because that's not accurate. But if you speculate with reason, you feel that the consequences are not what he is happy to see, let alone what he can bear.

"Isn't there any news from Orange Yi?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Changning thought of these subordinates who had not reported any news for a day, and asked with concern.

"No, the people we sent in later were found by the Feng family and committed suicide by poisoning. We don't dare to do anything more now. I'm worried that it will hurt Orange Yi. Chiyi said worriedly.

Changning sighed, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, and said to Chiyi, "Let Mr. Hai handle it according to the normal procedure." ”

The normal procedure is to suspend the rescue plan and do a good job of relocation so that it does not end up in a pot when the time comes. This is the worst-case scenario. However, Changning remembered all kinds of strange phenomena of the Feng family, and was relatively wary of them, and was unwilling to take risks. As for Orange Yi, she can only look at herself.

At night, Changning stood at the main gate with all the domestic servants and guards and waited.

An eight-wheeled luxury carriage drove over from the busiest street. Immediately, a butler trotted forward to greet him.

Liu Wenchang walked down from the carriage with a smile in a long robe embroidered with freehand landscape paintings.

"Uncle." Changning immediately saluted and greeted.

Liu Wenchang walked up to Changning, helped her up, and looked at her carefully, as if he was a little relieved to see that she was intact. With a heavy expression, he said, "It's good that people are okay." Let's go in first. ”

Changning nodded respectfully, walked behind Liu Wenchang and walked into the study of Liufu together. Everyone else scattered in their own hands, and the guards guarded the courtyard.

"Ning'er isn't having a good time these days, right? There are not many mistakes," Liu Wenchang asked in a cordial and caring tone.

Uncle Law was worried. Ning'er is doing well. Changning lowered his head and looked at the ground and replied politely.

"Huh. You kid. Liu Wenchang laughed and said with some emotion, "You are the same as your father when he was young." ”

Changning was a little displeased, she thought that she was much better than her father Liu Wenyu in every aspect.

"I've read all the letters you sent me before. Let's start with the first thing. Liu Wenchang's face became serious when he said that he wanted the three families to share intelligence resources. I've written to discuss it with the other two. It's possible. Of course, we won't take your juniors' stuff for nothing. After all, this is the result of your hard work. ”

He paused when he said this, looking at Changning's expression. Changning looked at his uncle seriously, waiting for his next step.

Liu Wenchang continued, "We have discussed, and the intelligence system is still operated by you. Judging from the past, you are quite talented in this area. After we take over your intelligence resources, we will give you some manpower. You are all the most outstanding young talents, and the future is limitless. It's just that now it's fledgling, and it still needs manpower. I don't know if you have an idea for yourself, you can also talk about it and listen to it, and if we can accept it, we can also consider it? ”

Manpower is indeed what you need. But it also depends on what kind of manpower it is. If it's just an ordinary talent, you can train or hire it yourself. What you need is a master or backer who can keep you safe. Thinking of this, she looked up at her uncle, and saw that his eyes were full of warm smiles. It makes people feel warm and friendly.

She smiled mischievously and asked, "That uncle can't just give me some people who are not practical." Rather only look at the quality, not the quantity. ”

"Haha." Liu Wenchang laughed and showed a look of relief, "I also know how to bargain, and if I think about it, I will not be a master who will suffer if I get married in the future." Then your grandmother and I will be relieved. ”

The atmosphere became harmonious. The corners of Changning's mouth also raised slightly.

"I've consulted with your grandmother. Although Chiyi is good, his strength is too low. You, your brother, and your mother were each assigned a sixth-order secret guard. You don't lack pills. With the little guy from the Jun family to provide, I believe you don't need to prepare it for you at home. Do you remember the one we caught five years ago who could transfigulate? The artifact seized from him is of limited use, but now is the time for you to learn, and having that should help you as well. We'll give you that artifact, and then give you and your brother two magic artifacts each. What do you think? ”

Changning was a little surprised that his uncle was so generous. Let's not talk about anything else, those three sixth-order secret guards should play a big role in the family, right? Although the sixth order is not particularly high, but if they can enter the sixth order, they generally have a very high chance of entering a higher level, and the items they can do for the family will be even greater in the future. Uncle is willing to do it? There is also that spiritual weapon, that is a spiritual weapon, even if the effect is frivolous, it is not something that can be ignored in general.

"The Secret Protector for you is only thirty years old now. And because of his years of cultivation, he looks very young. He is also very handsome, and he should look very eye-catching. Liu Wenchang looked at Changning in a rare good mood and teased.

Changning rolled his eyes very indecently. I glanced at my uncle very disapprehantly.

Liu Wenchang smiled, didn't continue the topic, and said another thing, "Regarding the matter of Liu Qingfeng that you said last time, we are all very suspicious. Of course, it's not that you're teasing us old guys. I just think it's incredible. How could such a strange thing happen in the world? Liu Wenchang thought about it, shook his head, and felt a little unimaginable, what happened when a person grew feathered wings?

Changning somewhat understood Liu Wenchang's attitude. After all, people who have not watched science fiction elementary schools, have not watched science fiction blockbusters, and have never heard of such a thing as genes are indeed hard to imagine that a person can grow wings like an eagle on his back. It's like when you first came here, didn't you have a skeptical attitude towards things like Xuanqi?

"Tell me more about the situation." After Liu Wenchang adjusted his mentality, he cautiously made a request to Changning.

Changning knew the seriousness of the matter, so he tried hard to recall all the details of that day, and took the trouble to say every action, every look, and every word of Liu Qingfeng in his memory.

After a long time, Liu Wenchang stood up from his chair. He looked at the northern part of the continent with some seriousness and fear. Walk briskly outside.

Changning didn't interrupt him, just quietly watched Liu Wenchang walk out. Changning's mental power is relatively high, and just now, she felt that her uncle used a spiritual attack effect on herself when he asked her. It was a mental attack that could make you mentally sluggish. It's just that because my mental strength is relatively strong, I haven't been affected.

It's just that her heart is very uncomfortable. Although it is understandable that he may be concerned about that matter, he cannot accept his way of doing things.

With a sigh, she went back to her room and began to cultivate.

The next day, Changning got up very early and let the maids dress and dress him. After a period of busyness, Changning saw his appearance in the mirror. Dressed in a black samurai style shirt with gold trim, slightly modified to soften the lines, wearing it on the body will not be in the way, nor lose the softness of the little daughter, the cuffs and neckline are embroidered with gold moire, and the hem is embroidered with a white and gray mountain and sea scenery. With a cloud mane on his head, a black lotus ornament behind him, and two hostas obliquely inserted in front. With black pearl pendant earrings and a silver ultra-fine collar around her neck.

Looking at the makeup on his face that was not very thick, Changning nodded with satisfaction. Walk out of the room and towards the dining room.

"Uncle." Liu Wenchang was already waiting in the dining room, and Changning hurriedly greeted him.

Liu Wenchang looked at Changning with satisfaction and said, "My Ning'er has grown into a big girl." Why are so many people thinking about it? ”

Changning smiled and didn't answer, and sat down in his place, ready to eat breakfast.

"There may be a lot of people today who will tell you that they want to marry our family. When the time comes, you can just do what you want and don't have any scruples. I won't make a family affair for you at will, and my uncle will keep his promise and let you choose your own marriage. But you have to wait too soon, and don't let your grandma and your mother wait too much. Liu Wenchang said to Changning seriously.

Changning looked at his uncle in surprise. Although the uncle had promised himself before, his marriage was up to him. But at that time, he didn't seem to be as resolute as he is now, right? No mistakes in many words

"It's also one of the rewards for you." Liu Wenchang said with some sighs, "The daughter of the family has a noble status, a strong background, and superior living materials, but she has always had no autonomy in marriage. One of your two aunts has become a martial idiot to avoid marriage, and the other is ......," he said, with a sad expression. Some reproach said, "We all hurt her." She shouldn't have been forced like that in the first place. ”

Changning's eyes also became dim, and she felt unrelieved when she thought of Jun Wuji's abnormality.

"It's useless for me to say that now, it's irreparable. Let you choose your own marriage, firstly, because of your own requirements, secondly, because of the dedication you have made for the family, and firstly, your potential. Although we also hope that every younger generation can live a happy life, sometimes it is involuntarily. You must remember that only by being strong can you have freedom and have the possibility to live the life you want. Liu Wenchang's eyes became a little erratic when he said this.

"Dabai, did something happen to my aunt?" Changning asked suspiciously.

"I'll talk about it when you get back from the party." Liu Wenchang nodded, but did not say what happened.

...
