Chapter 25: The First Night in Duanyang City
said that it was drinking, but in fact, it was more Xiao Xuan drinking alone, but the careful Zhang Yanyun found that Xiao Xuan's drinking this time was different from the previous drinking in the Drunken Immortal Building.
Previously, when he was in the Drunken Immortal Building, he was just drinking, but at this moment, the boy's eyes were faintly showing unwillingness and anger, seven points were drinking, and three points were venting.
"Brother Xiao......" Zhang Yanyun wanted to stop him, a person who was only sixteen years old couldn't drink like this.
Xiao Xuan pushed his hand away, lay on the table and said in a daze: "Yanyun, I Xiao Xuan regards you even more as a friend because of what you said before." I understand what you say, but I can't help it, I, I can't help it...... I have to be able to ...... to survive......"
Saying these words, Xiao Xuan suddenly tilted his head and fell drunk.
Zhang Yanyun was stunned, what did Xiao Xuan's words mean before?
He is the second son of the dignified Xiao family, and it stands to reason that he should have no worries about food and clothing, glory, wealth and inexhaustible enjoyment, how can it be related to the word "survival"?
Isn't survival the only thing like him needs to think about?
There was a soft sobbing sound in his ears, Zhang Yanyun looked up, and saw Xiao Xuan's personal maid Cuiying crying while neatly cleaning up the leftover wine.
"This ...... What's going on?" Zhang Yanyun was very uneasy, he didn't know what he should do at this time.
Cuiying is only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a beautiful face, wearing a goose yellow dress, seeing Zhang Yanyun's appearance, she couldn't help but gently wipe her tears with a handkerchief, and said to Zhang Yanyun gently: "Zhang Gongzi is not smiling, my second young master is actually a hard-working person......"
may feel that Xiao Xuan is not ordinary to Zhang Yanyun, this personal maid spoke a lot bolder, and said softly: "Zhang Gongzi doesn't know, the second son is the illegitimate son of the master, and he was only taken back to the house three years ago, and he had a hard time before, and he was often hungry ......"
Zhang Yanyun's heart trembled, and when he looked at Xiao Xuan again, his eyes were a little complicated.
Bastard, the word is heavy no matter who it is placed on. As long as he is an illegitimate child, he is almost destined to live under the contemptuous eyes of his family members for the rest of his life, and the larger the family, the more pain he has to endure in life. The illegitimate child of a big family like the Xiao family may have more unspeakable pain than the illegitimate child of an ordinary rich family.
"The master gave birth to three young masters, of which the eldest young master and the younger young master were born to the lady, and only the second son was born when the master went out to do business. In the early years, the second son had been arranged by the master to live in a remote town, and he was not taken back to the house until three years ago. Cui Ying said softly, "Originally, if nothing else, the Xiao family's property will naturally be inherited by the eldest young master, even if it is the little young master, as long as the second young master dares to come, he is destined to suffer too many grievances, if the second young master still dares to show that he wants to compete for the family property...... Fear...... I'm afraid ......"
The Oriole couldn't go any longer, turned around and sobbed softly.
Zhang Yanyun suddenly sighed with some emotion, it turned out that Xiao Xuan's life experience was like this, did he have to pretend to be uninterested in the family property in order to survive in the Xiao family?
The more he is a loser, the less of a threat he poses in the eyes of others.
If he knew before he was born that he would face such an intrigue, wouldn't it be better to be like Zhang Yanyun?
"Brother Xiao, thank you for your hard work. Zhang Yanyun said in a deep voice.
Cuiying turned around and lightly blessed, the tears on her face had been wiped away, and she suddenly knelt down to Zhang Yanyun and said: "Cuiying is a maid who came from Xiaocheng with the second young master, the second young master's suffering over the years is only known to Cuiying, Cuiying has worked hard not to let the second young master be wronged, but her ability is really limited." Although the second young master seems to be indifferent to anything, he is actually more affectionate than anyone else. The second young master has no friends, and now he treats Zhang Gongzi as a friend, Cuiying dares to ask Gongzi not to live up to the second young master's sincerity, and ask Zhang Gongzi to take good care of the second young master where Cuiying can't do it!"
Zhang Yanyun's heart was shocked, and he couldn't speak for a long time, and he forgot to let Cuiying get up.
"I ...... I tried my best. ”
"Thank you, childe. Cui Ying stood up again, struggled to pick up Xiao Xuan, and staggered away by pushing the door.
Under the moonlight, the little maid carried the drunken and unconscious young master who was taller than her and walked away.
Xiao Xuan pursed his mouth, rubbed his nose, and let out a dreamy sound.
The flowers in the yard swayed gently.
......
People appreciate the same month, and the moon shines on different people.
At this moment, in a guest room of the Duanyang City branch of the adjudication office, the bright moonlight shone in through the window, and the woman on the bed slowly woke up.
Zhou Chuxue was seriously injured, but fortunately, her tenacious will, coupled with the fact that there was no shortage of panacea in the ruling, finally rescued her from the ghost gate.
"Yanyun ......"
Zhou Chuxue just opened her eyes, remembering what happened before, she couldn't help but be a little worried about Zhang Yanyun's situation, so she directly called his name.
"Who is Yanyun?"
There were other people in the room, an old man with gray hair, a white beard, and a beard that almost hung down to the ground, but his face was very ruddy.
Zhou Chuxue knew that she was already in the adjudication office when she saw the structure of the room, but when she saw the old man, she was still taken aback, and almost wanted to get up: "Master...... You, why are you here?"
It turned out that this person was Zhou Chuxue's master, Qiu Daoshan, the deputy director of the adjudication office, and he was also one of the top masters in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.
"You and I don't need to be formal. I'm naturally here for a certain case, can't I come to visit the mountains and waters?" Qiu Daoshan stroked his beard and waved his hand lightly, Zhou Chuxue was pressed on the bed and couldn't move, "It's you, why are you injured like this?"
Zhou Chuxue said in a low voice: "Someone wants to kill me." ”
"Kill you, don't you know that you are a princess?!" Qiu Daoshan frowned, thought about it carefully, and said, "You mean, the other party is going to kill Princess Qingzhao?"
Zhou Chuxue nodded.
Qiu Daoshan slapped the table and said angrily: "What a thief, so bold!"
"I killed a few people I don't know the names of, but the last one to show up was ...... The old man is disabled. ”
"Heavenly Remnant?" Qiu Daoshan frowned and looked at Zhou Chuxue in disbelief, "That old thing is a master realm, if he wants to kill you, can you come back alive?"
Zhou Chuxue was silent for a while, and finally chose to tell the truth: "It should be Yanyun who saved me." ”
"This Yanyun can actually kill the old man of the Heavenly Remnant, who is it, why have I never heard of it?"
Zhou Chuxue said: "His name is Zhang Yanyun, sixteen years old, and he has just finished the final theoretical exam. ”
Qiu Daoshan stared at Zhou Chuxue and said, "Go on." ”
A person who has just finished the final theoretical exam naturally cannot be the opponent of a master realm powerhouse, Qiu Daoshan knows his apprentice, so he knows that there must be a following.
"There is an unknown force in him, and it should be that he finally unleashed that power to save me. Zhou Chuxue paused, and finally asked, "Isn't he in the adjudication office?"
Qiu Daoshan shook his head and said, "I heard that the person who rescued you said that you were the only one around when he found you, presumably the person named Zhang Yanyun should have sent you here and left, and the world would not dare to enter the court easily." ”
Zhou Chuxue didn't see joy or anger on his face, but said lightly: "I originally wanted to take him back to the adjudication center to check what the power in his body was. ”
"Unknown Forces...... After the outbreak, he was able to kill a master realm powerhouse......"
Qiu Daoshan stood up and paced slowly in the room, obviously the unknown force also caught his attention.
Suddenly, he turned to look at Zhou Chuxue, his eyes gradually radiated light, and he said slowly: "Could it be that Zhang Yanyun is a ...... Soul Turner?"
