Chapter 12: The Secret
Fu Qinghai said to himself: "Since there has been this Araki City, there has been our Fu family, since it is an ancestral land, then even if we are poor and backward, we will not leave it." But if you want to survive here, you have to find a way out, and since the previous generation, our Fu family has been searching for medicinal herbs for a living, and it is only today that we have achieved something. ”
Yue Yi listened quietly, the rise of every family has a history, just as he became a genius general, he always had to go through a period of tempering before he could achieve something.
"Although we are known as the number one family in Araki City, but looking at those big cities, we are no different from the third-rate families at most, in this long and long history, due to the lack of resources, our Fu family has only collected three volumes of ancestral rank desolation techniques. Fu Qinghai sighed: "Because of these three volumes of desolate techniques, our status in Araki City has been guaranteed, and now I will teach it to you." ”
Yue Yi didn't expect the old man in front of him to be so kind to him, although he wanted it very much, but reason told him that he couldn't, and then hurriedly said: "Such a valuable thing, it is worthy of it." ”
"Do you have any doubts in your heart, why am I like this?" Fu Qinghai stared at Yue Yi tightly, and Yue Yi nodded under his gaze.
Indeed, they are only one side, to be precise, they are also the guards of the Fu family, and the head of the family in front of them does not owe him anything, and he has no credit, why is this so, and if he is the rest of the people, there must be doubts.
"You may not know why I am still the head of the Fu family at this age. At this time, Fu Qinghai's face was a little sad, and he continued: "It should have been Ying'er's father who inherited the Fu family, and the Eternal Spirit Tree was also discovered by him. ”
Yue Yi realized that since he came to the Fu family, he didn't see his young lady's father, but let an old man in his twilight preside over the family's affairs, could there be another reason for this?
"The reason why you didn't see Ying'er's father is because Ying'er's father has fallen in the desert, and he hasn't even found his bones, and he desperately wants people to bring back the news, just to let the Fu family get the eternal spirit fruit, so that they can make a fortune from it, move out of here, and squeeze into a second-rate family in the big city, hey. Fu Qinghai said weakly.
"It seems that there are many dangers in the desert, is there any powerful evil thing that can't be found? No wonder the old man will recruit troops. Yue Yi was thoughtful.
However, Fu Qinghai shook his head: "What is more terrifying than evil things is the human heart. ”
Hearing the old man's words, Yue Yi seemed to think of something: "As the first family of Araki City, if someone dares to make a move against the Fu family, then is the other party ......?"
Fu Qinghai nodded: "I have found a trace of clues in the past few days, so I have to strengthen the garrison, which has also caused a shortage of manpower, and you must be lucky on this trip, but I know Ying'er's temperament, so I can only ask you." ”
Yue Yi couldn't imagine that the old man in front of him would tell him so many family secrets, if this was the case, it seemed that it would be difficult for him to change the situation alone, besides, why would the old man be so relieved to tell him these things, he seemed to be puzzled: "Old man, among many people, my strength is the worst, why do you want to tell me these secrets?"
"The reason why I tell you these secrets is because I am sure that you are someone to be trusted, because I have investigated before, and I guess you are the Purple Man who is feared in Araki City. Fu Qinghai smiled slightly.
Yue Yi's pupils shrank slightly, he could even know this kind of thing, when he was investigated, he didn't find out, could it be that his vigilance was useless, you know, in the banishment forest, as long as he lost his mind a little, he might face death.
Fu Qinghai looked at Yue Yi, who was a little nervous, waved his hand, and signaled him not to care: "Actually, it's not an investigation, it's just that the tattered clothes you are wearing are similar to the color of the purple man in the city before, and on the first day the purple man disappeared, you appeared, which is too much of a coincidence, but don't worry, normal people will think that you are dead." ”
Yue Yi then understood that according to the old man's words, it did make sense, and the old man paid great attention to the details, from following the old man to the Fu family, he watched every move of all of them.
"The reason why I tell you is because you have a simple background, and the rest of the people are not convinced, and I am worried that some of the nine people may be internal ghosts. ”
Yue Yi realized that in terms of background alone, he was indeed just a blank slate, and the rest were either mercenaries or well-known people, who were easy to be bought, in this prison world, as long as you could live, no matter what treachery you did, you could do it, and the old man's worries were not unreasonable.
"The most important point is that since Ying'er lost her father, she seems to have changed as a person, although she can still play a little temper now, but she never speaks when she is alone, and the same is true for outsiders. Or a daughter without a father is insecure, but in you, she seems to be able to feel a sense of peace, so even if it's for Ying'er. Fu Qinghai got up and handed the box in his hand to Yue Yi.
"Thank you, old man. Yue Yi looked at Fu Qinghai, who had a twilight face, and also sighed secretly.
Remembering his old lord before, it seems that this scene is amazingly similar to that year, he Yue Yi was also ordered when the country was in danger, and in the end he lived up to the trust and turned a small country into a big empire, but in the end, after the new lord took office, it was completely different.
"These days have been practicing the wilderness skills well, and this trip is a bit far away, you can figure it out more on the road, if Ying'er has any explanation, you can do it with your heart. Fu Qinghai said earnestly.
"Old man, please rest assured. Yue Yi nodded.
"Okay, you go and rest, in addition to cultivating the wilderness technique in the past few days, you can consolidate your cultivation. ”
Fu Qinghai waved his hand, and when he saw Yue Yi turn to leave, he muttered to himself, "I hope God bless the Fu family." ”
Yue Yi walked out of the study, looked at the night, and unconsciously another hour passed, thinking that Miss Fu should sleep, it seems that she still has to rely on herself to find a place to live.
As soon as he sighed, he looked up and saw a shadow in the corridor not far away, the white dress was particularly beautiful in the moonlight, Yue Yi immediately stepped forward: "Miss, you haven't rested so late." ”
Qianying turned around, and since Yue Yi was taken into the study, she has been waiting outside, and then said lightly: "If I don't wait for you, where will you sleep tonight?"
Yue Yi scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, slightly unnatural under the gaze of Miss Fu's beautiful eyes, although through the veil, he could vaguely see the moving beauty.
"Tell me, what did my grandfather tell you when he took you to the study?" Looking at Yue Yi, who was slightly embarrassed, Fu Mengying was still staring at Yue Yi's purple eyes, because those purple eyes looked particularly bewitching under the moonlight, and they could always attract her attention.
Yue Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, of course he said everything that should be said, but he couldn't say it all, wouldn't he have to stay up for another hour? Then he didn't know how to answer, so he could only stiffen his head and say: "Actually, I didn't say anything, and I explained some precautions to protect you." ”
"Oh, yes, remember, no matter what my grandfather told you, now that you're my personal bodyguard, then you have to listen to me, come with me. Without waiting for Yue Yi to say anything, Miss Fu turned around and walked into the distance.
Yue Yi wanted to open his mouth to say something, but when he saw that Miss Fu had already turned her back, she immediately shook her head, women are really domineering.
The two walked one after the other in the dark, and the courtyard of the Fu family was large, so they had to go around several corridors to reach their residence.
"Okay, I've arrived, this is the East Courtyard, I used to live here alone, and you and I will live here in the future. Fu Mengying said to Yue Yi behind her, and then Lianbu walked in.
Yue Yi took a look, with such a big yard, she actually lived alone, this Fu family was too rich. However, he also knew something before, the middle courtyard is the old man alone, the east courtyard is Miss Fu alone, the south courtyard is a warehouse, and the west courtyard is a place for the people to live, and the guards live in the north courtyard, so I think the other nine people are also arranged to live in the north courtyard.
"This is your room, I have already asked my subordinates to clean it, my room is next to it, you can't come in without my permission, otherwise ......" Fu Mengying pointed to her room, and then her beautiful eyes narrowed into a dangerous arc and looked at Yue Yi.
Yue Yi was stunned for a moment, how could there be more than ten rooms in this compound, when I heard what the old man said next door, I thought that at most I lived in the same courtyard, but now it seems that the two housing prices are so separated by a wall, this personal guard, it's too much.
"Well, I prefer to live in the corner, otherwise I'll move to the first room. ”
Yue Yi told the truth, he had been resting in a dark corner for the past month, and over time he liked to stay in a corner of the wall.
"What, your personal guard has an opinion on my arrangement, is it?It's so far away from me, in case I'm in any danger, do you want to collect my body from there?"
"No opinion, no opinion, everything is subject to the arrangement of the eldest lady. Yue Yi felt that the situation was wrong, and quickly waved his hand.
"Okay, the subordinates usually get up at the end of the day, since you are my personal bodyguard, you can allow Chen Shi to get up, if you dare to be late like a banquet......" Miss Fu glanced at Yue Yi, and then Lianbu walked into her boudoir.
Seeing that Miss Fu entered the room, Yue Yicai muttered, "Let's take a look at the three volumes of Ancestral Rank Desolate Techniques first." ”
