Chapter 39: The Dark Elves
Ying's health has not been good, in less than two months, two serious injuries each time a large amount of blood loss, for a young girl's body is a very big trauma, the original white skin through the red sè face became as white as snow.
Ying's name is not in the Imperial mercenary training class, but Amy can't rest assured about Ying's body at all, the Duke's Mansion happens to be near the Imperial Knight School, and Amy borrowed a small house for Ying to live in. Amy spends her mornings at school learning about multi-arm warfare, in the afternoons she goes to the mercenary group to deal with related affairs, and in the evenings she concentrates on accompanying Ying.
As before, the four main leaders of the small mercenary group are still hot figures in dìdū. His Excellency Amy openly brought Ying to attend two dinners, and the famous families were amazed by the rare beauty of the jīng spirit girl and also understood the purpose of the young mercenary wise man, since then, few people have brought the imperial noble beauties to Amy and deliberately introduced them - of course, a few families are happy and a few are sad, and these beauties are all intentionally recommended Daqingshan, Chi Aotian and others, even Horns has become a very sought-after figure at the dinner, many imperial nobles kindly asked the dwarf if he wanted to improve the family lineage, whether he wanted his next generation to grow taller so that he could better find a suitable lifelong spouse, in the face of these enthusiastic greetings, every time the dwarf received an invitation from the red sè or purple sè, it was as if he was going to be escorted to the execution ground.
Ying's health is gradually improving, and the Redstone Emperor and Duke Chi are both very concerned when they learn that Amy's couple has been seriously injured for Amy twice in a row. The Red Stone Emperor sent a special imperial physician to see him, and took out a considerable amount of good medicine from the palace for the little jīng spirit to take, and the old duke sent a special person to Tongyun Pass to purchase good medicine, Tongyun Pass is adjacent to the jīng spirit forest, and there are also a considerable number of jīng spirits in the city, so there is a special jīng spirit pharmacy, and the largest jīng spirit drug store is almost moved to the duke's palace with a lot of money. The effect of the needle stone is still quite obvious, especially after purchasing the herbs to target the jīng spirit system, Ying's body recovers quite quickly.
At night, Amy returned to the Duke's Mansion from the mercenary group station outside the city, holding Ying in her hand and chatting with a few other people, and there were Horns, Chi Aotian, Daqingshan, and Sha Ruo in the same room, the relationship between Da Qingshan and Sha Ruo was basically made public, but two fairly well-behaved people didn't even dare to touch their hands in front of everyone, which also made Amy laugh at Da Qingshan in private.
The team leader on duty hurriedly ran in from outside: "Mr. Amy, there is a person from outside the house, saying that he wants to find Miss Ying and you." ”
Amy and Ying looked at each other, it was still unprecedented to come to visit the two of them, Ying suddenly remembered what her face became a little melancholy, and said in a low voice: "Invite him in." ”
Within a few minutes, a dark-skinned man led by a soldier walked into the room.
"Daddy—" Ying didn't show any surprise and quickly stood up.
Amy was stunned at first, and in just two months, her future father-in-law looked a lot darker. In most of Amy's life experience, there is very little experience in dealing with her closest elders, and there are many bad elders who are tireless, and when she saw the swarthy jīng elder, Amy knocked down the teacup in her hand in a panic: "Hello uncle." ”
Horns and the others quickly stood up, and after greeting the elders, the teenagers fled from the house one after another under the reminder of each other's playful eyes.
Watching her companions walk out, Amy's mood relaxed a little, no matter how embarrassing she is, it is in front of her own family, anyway, this father-in-law can't escape, just be embarrassed. He gave Jīng Ling to the upper seat, and Ying brought new tea to his father.
"Amy, what do you say I say?" Qingxin picked up the teacup and didn't drink it and turned it in his hand, his dark face showing anger.
Amy has always felt that she is very sorry for Ying, and she is even more confused when she sees the girl's father asking for guilt.
"My daughter is with you, originally, I didn't want to. I've loved her since I was a child, but because of my own reasons, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't give her much happiness, so I always hoped that she would be able to marry a good person in the future. I didn't expect her to choose a human being, you humans have such a short lifespan, won't she have to guard for you for a lifetime in the future? The teacup was gently buckled on the table: "However, you can't let her suffer so much damage in these two short months, right?"
"Uncle, I really didn't mean to......" Amy Tian is not afraid, she is afraid of the person in front of her, who is clever in front of others but doesn't know how to explain it in front of Qingxin. However, Amy cares about Ying very much, and her face has turned red in a hurry.
Ying touched Amy from behind and told him not to worry: "Dad, it's actually nothing ...... big deal"
"Nothing big!?" Qingxin's face darkened, his palm slapped heavily on the table, and the tea flowed down the corner of the table: "Am I deaf?
"Yingying, you go out, I'll talk to this young man alone!" Qingxin ordered his daughter with a dark face.
Ying looked at her father hesitantly, Qingxin suddenly spoke quickly to Ying in jīng spiritual language, Amy didn't know what he was talking about, but it seemed that Ying was being trained, and it was not easy for her to interject. Tears vaguely appeared in Ying's eyes, and she turned and left the room.
"Amy, it's a matter that I've come to you this time, I want you to let my daughter leave you, I can't help it. I have several children, Yingying is the best of them, I will rely on her for the rest of my life, you put her life in danger every day, I don't worry, I am responsible for myself and my daughter. The middle-aged jīng Ling suddenly said something that Amy couldn't have imagined with a dark face.
Amy was knocked unconscious by a blow to the head: "Uncle, before, I really didn't know that these things would happen, in the future, I will never let Yingying get into danger, I let her stay away from the war, but I don't want to be separated from her." ”
"Hmph, I'll give you a chance...... If it weren't for the guild news, I wouldn't know how my daughter died. ”
"Uncle, no matter what you say, I won't let Yingying leave. "Things have reached the point of irreconcilability, and the calmness of the young mercenary is naturally revealed, and the majesty of the uncrowned king is naturally shown in his low and cold tone.
Qingxin obviously didn't expect that the girl who came to get back to him would hit such a nail: "Then what do you say? How do you ensure that my daughter doesn't have problems, and I will have to rely on my daughter for the rest of my life." ”
"Say it. Amy got a little hot and kicked the question back.
"That's it," Qingxin stood up and walked a few steps on the ground: "Why don't you give me a sum of money, so that even if my daughter has a problem, I can support myself for the elderly, and I will treat it as if I never gave birth to this child." ”
......
......
......
Amy didn't expect to hear such a thing, and she didn't know how to say it for a while.
Qingxin said to himself: "I can live for about 800 years, every year, even if I need 1,000 gold coins, you can give me 800,000 gold coins." ”
Amy subconsciously bit the back of her hand with her teeth, isn't it...... Amy knows that many human beings are really greedy for money, and there is no shortage of selling their children for money, especially in some remote places, and this is not just a story in the book. In all the descriptions of jīng spirits, jīng spirits are the embodiment of kindness and purity, and it is difficult to say that Amy and Ying did not have a good impression of the jīng spirit clan when they fell in love at first sight. Even in the Jīng Spirit Enchantment, a life-and-death battle with two Jīng Spirit Elders, Amy didn't think in her heart how evil the Jīng Spirit Clan was.
What makes Amy even more unacceptable is that the dark man in front of her is Ying's father, how can a girl like Ying, who is so smart and kind, have bad relatives? Amy first thought that he had misheard, he looked at the middle-aged man in a trance, and then Amy thought that the middle-aged man in front of him was joking with himself and testing himself.
How is this possible?!
Looking at the middle-aged man's face with absolutely no wrong expressions, Amy's head was bigger than just now. How could Ying's father sell his children?
"Are you really serious?" said Amy, who felt her voice go hoarse.
"Of course, I have to keep such a sum of money, in case you don't want my daughter in the future, I will leave her enough for her living expenses. There was a hint of cold light in the black jīng Ling's burnt yellow eyes.
Amy lowered her head and muttered for a while, clapped her hands and summoned a small mercenary member on duty, whispered a few words to him, and the little mercenary member showed a surprised look, and then hurriedly walked out.
Not long after, the little mercenary member just now came back again, holding two long swords in his hands and gently placing them on the table, and quietly walked out of the room.
"Uncle, I don't know what you really mean by that. I don't have much money in my hands, the small mercenary group is a newly established organization, and I have no savings as the head of this group, and I don't have a lot of money in the mercenary group's account. These two swords, which we discovered during our expedition more than two months ago, were forged by the Creator God himself, just like the Suzaku Sword that we presented to His Majesty the King. We have done an appraisal, and such a sword is a priceless treasure in the eyes of those who know the goods, and any regular weapon dealer can buy one for more than 100,000 yuan in cash. In the last mission, Ying and I each got a handful, so I'll give it all to you. ”
Amy thought for a moment and then said: "Uncle, I think love can't be measured by money, I take the 800,000 money you mentioned as the dowry money you proposed, I think it's normal, Ying, as a good girl, there is no problem with the mother's family proposing a dowry of this amount." It's just that I don't have so much money in my hands now, so I hope you can give me 5 years, and I will give you at least 100,000 gold coins a dowry every year for the next 5 years. ”
Qingxin picked up two long swords, one long and one short, and pulled the sword out of the scabbard with force, and the room emitted two dazzling lights of Lan sè and silver sè at the same time, and after the light, there were four ancient words suspended on the sword bodies of the two swords: "Yunshang" and "Qinghua". Hei Jīng Ling seemed to know about Suzaku, and nodded slightly: "Okay, then I'll accept it first, remember, and give me other dowry gifts as soon as possible." ”
Under Amy's gaze, the black demon Jīng's body suddenly trembled slightly, and then the whole person disappeared into thin air. The door was pulled open and then closed automatically.
Amy wiped the sweat from her head, she had heard that there was a special stealth skill in the black demon jīng, the effect of this skill was far stronger than the mage's stealth magic, and she couldn't use the holy eye technique to see the black demon jīng after the invisibility, this time I really saw it. Amy found Ying back, and was about to talk to Ying about the process just now, Daqingshan and Chi Aotian came over, and Horns said everyone's questions: "Amy, what did your old father-in-law do with you just now, you made it so mysterious and invited Miss Ying out, and then went to Daqingshan to get two long swords, is there anything wrong?"
Looking at the brothers, Amy showed a strange look on her face, and then smiled bitterly: "The old man came to see me and Yingying, he heard that Yingying was injured again, and he was very anxious. Long swords, according to the rules of jīng Ling, to marry a girl from other people, you need to have precious items as a dowry, and those two long swords are used as a dowry. ”
"Hehe-" Horns smiled mysteriously, "It turned out to be a sword teaser." Several people saw that there was nothing else to do, and they left.
Amy and Ying looked at each other for a moment, and Ying whispered, "You don't have to tell me, I probably know what happened just now." ”
Amy smiled wryly again: "Ying, I really don't think it would be like this...... Alas, even if I give you a bride price. Amy didn't want to tell the girl about the specific amount of money, it was useless to say it anyway.
The little girl's slender hand held Amy's hand, "Do you remember the first time I wrote to you? Amy, I really don't know what to say." My dad wasn't with us since he was a kid, and every time he came back, he stayed for a few days and left, and I grew up with my grandfather nǎinǎi, and he felt that the time with us was short, so he wanted to make up for it with money, but ...... He didn't have much money all the time. I always felt that he cared more about money than about me, you look at these two times, when did he really care about my situation? Amy, the first time I saw you, I felt a sense of security, and later, I felt your love even more, so I said I want you to raise me...... You won't blame me for not telling you this......" jīng Ling's eyes were already rippling with tears.
"Don't say it......" Every time I see Ying crying, Amy's heart is like being cut by a knife, I have talked to Ying about the family before, and I know some things, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated anyway, and I didn't think that the father of my beloved girl was a money-grubber with no feelings. Amy wiped her tear-drenched little face with her hands: "Ying, maybe your father has his own difficulties, and we will do our best to repay them." Moreover, I am going to marry you, not anyone else, don't think about it. ”
The world is like this, no matter how good a person is, there is no guarantee that he will not have bad relatives. If it weren't deliberately mentioned, no one would know that there was still a bleak story in the magnificent life of the Mercenary King, and in the many legends of the Mercenary King published since then, most of them erased this paragraph, and even if there were, readers were often used to skipping it. However, this is a fact that really happened in history, and it cannot be avoided by any scholar who studies Amy's life, and must be carefully savored.
