Chapter 48: Deliverance
Although he knew that Wei Chifeng led people to guard the door, he also knew that those people were definitely not Wei Chifeng and they could stop him, so he didn't dare to slack off at night, after Ling Yuxin fell asleep, she kept guarding the door, hiding in the dark, always paying attention to the movements inside and outside the room.
In the middle of the night, when everything around her was silent, Bai Zhu suddenly heard a scream from Ling Yuxin in the room, and she was shocked, so she immediately rushed into the house without hesitation.
After Bai Zhu kicked open the door, she saw Ling Yuxin sitting on the bed in a good manner, she immediately glanced at the room, except for Ling Yuxin, there was no other figure and abnormality, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Ling Yuxin who was sitting on the bed again in surprise.
At this moment, Ling Yuxin had just woken up from the nightmare, and suddenly saw the door kicked open in a daze, so frightened that she almost screamed again, but before she could scream, Bai Zhu was already surprised and asked, "Miss, are you okay?" ”
Only then did Ling Yuxin see that it was Bai Zhu, and subconsciously sighed, stretched out her hand and wiped her forehead, "I was scared to death by you, why haven't you gone to sleep yet, what time is it?" ”
Bai Zhu replied: "It's already late, and the slave maid is not at ease, afraid that those black-clothed masked people will come back if they don't give up, so they have been guarding the door." While closing the door, he walked to the table and lit a lamp, and when he turned back, he saw that Ling Yuxin's face was pale, and his forehead was still covered with dripping sweat, and he immediately asked worriedly, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" Why is your face so ugly? Is there something uncomfortable? The slave seems to have heard your screams outside. ”
Ling Yuxin shook her head, "No, I'm fine, I just had a nightmare." ”
"Another nightmare? Since you returned to Ling Mansion, you haven't had those nightmares for a long time, why are you dreaming about them again today!" Bai Zhu couldn't help but blame himself, "Most of the time I was frightened during the day, and I blamed the slave for not being good and not protecting you." ”
"It's none of your business, it's my own fault, and if I hadn't listened to you, I wouldn't have sneaked out, and I wouldn't have let those who assassinated me take advantage of it, and what I had just dreamed of wasn't what I used to be, neither a fire nor a wilderness valley."
"Not the old ones? So what did you dream about? Bai Zhu said curiously.
"Like...... It seems to be a very strange dream," Ling Yuxin subconsciously frowned, "At first, there was still a little boy and a little girl, it seemed to ...... Or is it a little boy teaching a little girl to practice swords...... No, it seems that a little boy is practicing swords with a little girl...... Then......" Ling Yuxin couldn't help but look anxious, "and then ...... And then what happened...... Why can't I even remember, but I remember a lot of blood...... A lot of blood ......" Ling Yuxin tried hard to recall the scene in her dream, but she couldn't remember anything anymore, but she felt a faint pain in her head, and subconsciously held her head with both hands, "I can't remember...... I can't remember what happened next, how could I not remember...... How could I not remember......" As he spoke, he unconsciously slapped his head with both hands, and a painful expression appeared on his face.
Bai Zhu was shocked when he saw this, hurriedly grabbed Ling Yuxin's hands, and hurriedly persuaded: "Miss, what are you doing here, I can't remember it, it's just a nightmare, I don't want to think about it if I can't think of it, we don't want to talk about it, we don't want to do it!" Bai Zhu tried to soothe Ling Yuxin's emotions, but seeing that she still had a painful look on her face, she pretended to smile lightly and said, "Ah, I know, you miss Young Master Cousin, right?" You were frightened during the day today, plus as soon as you came back, you were studying the formation and practicing, you must be physically and mentally exhausted, and then I hope that the young master can come back soon so that I can teach you martial arts, so these are reflected in your dreams, as the saying goes, there are thoughts in the day, and dreams in the night, the boys and girls you dream of, the eight achievements are the epitome of you and the young master, as for the blood...... It is estimated that you have seen so many people dead or injured in front of you during the day, and those bloody scenes have impressed you so much that they have reflected in your dreams. ”
Ling Yuxin gradually calmed down, looked at Bai Zhu in disbelief, and muttered, "Really? Is it just thinking about it day and dreaming at night? ”
"Well, it must be." Bai Zhu had a positive expression on his face. Since Bai Zhu was not all deceiving Ling Yuxin, although she was in a hurry to find a reason to appease Ling Yuxin, it was not completely out of blindness, but when she learned that Ling Yuxin suddenly started to have nightmares again, and the dream was so strange, she subconsciously explained to Ling Yuxin what she thought was the possibility that Ling Yuxin would have such a dream, so the positive expression she presented to Ling Yuxin was quite convincing.
Seeing Bai Zhu's affirmative look, Ling Yuxin unconsciously believed a little in her heart, and then saw the worry in her eyes, and suddenly felt a little guilty, in order not to let her worry about herself, she threw away the idea of continuing to reminisce, and said with a forced smile: "You're right, maybe it's really a dream day and night, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm awake anyway, why don't we practice together." ”
Bai Zhu was frightened by Ling Yuxin's actions, for fear that she would continue to think about that dream, wishing that she could divert her attention, and when she said that she wanted to practice, she immediately nodded vigorously and agreed.
So Ling Yuxin immediately got up, dressed and washed, and went to the courtyard with Bai Zhu to practice seriously.
At this time, the Wei Mansion was still brightly lit.
Wei Wenjie hurriedly walked into Wei Chilin's study with a tired and angry face, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked angrily: "Dad, what is the matter with you being so anxious to let Wei Chen call me back?" Hurry up, I've got to find someone. ”
Wei Chilin snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Find someone!" What can you find! ”
Wei Wenjie didn't hear the meaning of Wei Chilin's words, and replied directly: "No, Dad, you can't know that such a big thing happened, today there is a large group of black-clothed masked people killing people on the street, and they also exchanged hands with the soldiers guarding the city face to face, but the general defending the city actually lit a cigarette to warn for help, I saw the distress signal and immediately led the troops to the city gate, those black-clothed masked people not only killed and injured a lot of soldiers guarding the city, but also injured many brothers in my hussar battalion, but they hated that they suddenly fled when they injured people, I didn't catch any of them, I'm really angry with Young Master Ben, even if I turn the entire capital upside down, I have to find out their turtle grandsons. Speaking of this, he suddenly came back to his senses and digressed, and hurriedly asked: "Dad, what are you looking for me, hurry up, I still have to hurry to find those turtle grandchildren." ”
The more Wei Chilin listened, the more angry he became, and he said sarcastically: "When did you become so loyal." ”
Wei Wenjie still didn't hear the taste, and said bluntly: "Where am I doing my duty, I can't swallow this breath, I think the hussar battalion I trained has always been famous, and now it was caught off guard by a few black-clothed masked people who came out of nowhere, not only suffered heavy casualties, but also didn't even catch an opponent, if this is spread, how can I Wei Wenjie save face!" If I don't pull out those turtle grandsons and break them into thousands of pieces, how can I, Wei Wenjie, hold my head up in front of hundreds of officials in the future! ”
"Foolish." Wei Chilin slapped the table angrily, "Since you have already fought each other, you should know the gap between you and others, do you think you can get back face if you find someone?" If you are someone's opponent, how can you be beaten with heavy casualties during the day! How can you not even catch an opponent! Since you are not an opponent, finding it is just a humiliation, and there will only be a few more casualties, and you will only be more embarrassed. ”
Wei Wenjie was unconvinced: "Dad, why do you always grow the ambition of others and destroy your son's prestige!" During the day, I was too underestimated to be caught off guard by them, and if they hadn't escaped quickly, I would have turned the tide a long time ago. I really don't understand what you think, how can a father belittle his son all the time, I really doubt that I am your own child. ”
"You ......" Wei Chilin was so angry that he couldn't speak.
Wei Wenjie saw that Wei Chilin was really angry, and he didn't dare to make another move, so he hurriedly changed the topic, "Okay, Dad, I won't fight with you about this, just tell me what the hell are you looking for!" ”
Wei Chilin also knew that the situation was serious and the time was pressing, and he didn't want to waste any more time arguing with Wei Wenjie at this moment, so after calming down himself, he picked up a folded piece of paper from the table and threw it directly in front of Wei Wenjie, and said coldly: "Take your people directly to this address, there are people you are looking for, remember to leave a few more live mouths, and bring them back to Dali Temple for interrogation in front of Zuo Shaoqing Chen Wenyin, you have to be sure that these people are the group of black-clothed masked people who fought with you during the day, do you understand?" ”
Wei Wenjie was surprised when he heard this, and was stunned for a moment before squatting down and picking up the paper thrown by Wei Chilin, opening it and taking a closer look, and then staring at Wei Chilin for a while, still not understanding what was going on: why did Wei Chilin deliberately arrange a group of stand-ins to wait for him to catch them, and he had to cooperate with him to make the fake true, could it be that he was trying to help those real black-clothed masked people get out! Thinking of this, he asked tentatively, "Dad, those black-clothed masked people during the day won't be sent by you, right?" After a pause, he couldn't help but add, "You're making too much noise, aren't you?" ”
Wei Chilin scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, do you have a long brain!" Can you just say that? Do you know that your words are enough to kill your father and our Wei family! ”
Wei Wenjie was stunned by Wei Chilin's roar, and then showed a puzzled look, "If those black-clothed masked people weren't sent by you, then why are you looking for someone to replace those turtle grandsons for me to arrest?" And let me cooperate with the fake to say the true, which one are you singing? ”
"Stupid." Wei Chilin had an expression of hatred on his face, "It's just stupid!" ”
