Chapter 211: Goodbye after a long absence
A woman in her thirties walked out of Li Ying's room. Seeing Yu Ren, the woman just nodded and left in a hurry.
Ying'er, who sent this woman out, suddenly saw Yu Ren, and she was surprised.
"Why did Master Yin come to us?"
"On the orders of the master, to protect the safety of the eldest lady." Yu Ren learned the tone of the silver-faced man.
"No need, Miss is very safe here, and you don't need to be protected by Yinye." Ying'er said with some displeasure. She obviously also knew that Li Dan sent Yu Ren to come, which was definitely not only to protect Li Ying, but also to monitor.
"I heard that the eldest lady has a heart disease, and I have a medicine here to treat heart disease, so I ask Miss Ying'er to forward it to the eldest lady." Yu Ren whispered as he took out a silk cloth bag from his arms.
Ying'er was slightly surprised when she heard Yu Ren's words, but she still took the silk bag handed over by Yu Ren.
Holding this small silk cloth bag, Ying'er glanced at Yu Ren again, didn't say anything more, and hurriedly turned around and went into the house.
After a while, Ying'er came out with joy on her face.
"Miss said that Yinye's medicine is really effective, please follow me in."
Yu Ren followed Ying'er into the house, and Ying'er closed the door casually.
As soon as Li Ying saw Yu Ren, she said excitedly, "Did Brother Yin see Yu Lang?" Where did you get this flag from? Did Yu Lang give it to you? Where is he now? ”
When Li Ying spoke, she was holding a small flag in her hand, which was the same small flag she gave to Yu Ren when she parted with Yu Ren in Fujian.
Yu Ren didn't speak, just glanced around with his eyes. Li Ying understood, and hurriedly said to Ying'er, "Ying'er, you go outside and show me." Don't let anyone bother, I have something important to discuss with Brother Yin. When someone came, they said, "I'm asleep." ”
Ying'er nodded, hurriedly retreated, and closed the door casually.
As soon as Ying'er closed the door, Li Ying couldn't wait to ask, "Now, Brother Yin'er can tell me!" ”
Yu Ren saw Li Ying's eager look, and he originally wanted to tease her, so he stopped teasing. I saw him reach out and gently remove the mask, "Look who I am?" ”
With these words, Yu Ren has already recovered his voice.
When Li Ying heard this voice, before she saw Yu Ren's face, her whole body suddenly trembled, as if she had been electrocuted. She slowly raised her head, as if she was afraid that her movements would be too big and would scare the people in front of her away.
It's been too long since I've heard this voice! For more than a year, that person had only appeared in her dreams. Every time, she would pounce excitedly, but every time it was just a dream!
Li Ying froze, she couldn't be sure if she was hallucinating or dreaming. Why did Brother Yin suddenly become Yu Ren.
Seeing that the silver-faced man with the mask off was indeed Yu Ren, Li Ying wanted to control herself, but she was afraid that if she pounced, he would look like he was in a dream and disappear all of a sudden. But she still couldn't control herself, and finally pounced, hugged Yu Ren tightly, and gently beat his strong back with her delicate little hands.
"You bad guy. Why didn't you come until now, making it so hard for people to wait! He said and laughed. I laughed and laughed, but I didn't feel that tears were flowing.
Yu Ren gently held Li Ying in his arms and stroked her hair with his hand.
"Actually, we had already met once a few days ago. It's just that you didn't recognize me. ”
"Really? Where is it? Li Ying looked up from Yu Ren's arms with some surprise.
"Yes! It's the little Taoist priest you invited to sing at home! ”
"It turns out that you are also pretending, no wonder he sings like that. Yikes! You guy, you're really bad. Actually told a lie in front of me, see if people believe you next time. After speaking, Li Ying buried her head in Yu Ren's arms again.
Yu Ren just took Li Ying in his arms and didn't speak.
"I thought I was dreaming again! How do you have the mask of Silver Brother? It sounds like that. ”
"I don't know what this man's name is, or what he looks like, but I know that he wears a mask like this all day long, and he's about the same size as me.
The night before yesterday, when Shi Bin and I quietly entered your house and were about to rescue you, six masked masters suddenly appeared and besieged me.
Just when I was exhausted from being beaten by them, this silver-faced man suddenly appeared and rescued me. Later, he gave me this mask and asked me to pretend to be him and infiltrate your house. Yu Ren said.
When Li Ying heard this, she fell into deep thought.
"Who is this man? He seems to have a very high status in your house, but why is there no maid in his yard who is waiting? ”
Li Ying half-leaned into Yu Ren's arms and said softly, "His name is Li Yin." It is said that my father has been a master since he was a child. Have you ever heard that our Li family has a young man and two guards? ”
Yu Ren shook his head.
"This young is Xue Zongtao, who fought with you at the beginning and died mysteriously later. And the second guard is the gold and silver second guard. These two people originally studied art in the area of Honshu Island, Yinwei Li Yin only returned to Hirado not long ago, and Jinwei Li Min has not returned yet.
The two of them are said to be two little beggars adopted by my father when he first arrived in Hirado, and since childhood, they were sent by my father to Honshu Island to learn swordsmanship, so not many people know them in the Li family.
Because they have been learning art outside since childhood, they have gradually developed a withdrawn character. They don't like to deal with a lot of people, so my father didn't arrange a maid in their room, but just arranged a maid outside Li Yin's courtyard to be sent at any time.
In order to maintain their mystery and make them my father's most reliable guard, my father made a mask for each of them.
In the Li Mansion, everyone knows that Daddy has three masters, one young and two guards. But few people have seen them for what they really are, including me.
I've never seen them make a move, but it is said that their hands are extremely high, and they are in the middle of Brother Zong Tao. ”
Yu Ren nodded, he finally had a general understanding of the character he was playing.
"As for the six masked men you talked about besieging you the night before, according to my estimate, they should be Zheng Zhilong's six sworn brothers. Zheng Zhilong swore with these six people and was known as the Seven Heroes of Hirado. Among Zheng Zhilong's brothers, only these six can be regarded as masters.
It seems that this Zheng Zhilong, we can't underestimate him! He was able to calculate that you would save me that day, so he laid the trap beforehand. It's not simple, it's not simple. ”
"Yes! Therefore, we must be more careful in our actions in the future. ”
Li Ying nodded slightly, but her body was tighter in Yu Ren's arms, as if she couldn't get in.
Yu Ren tried his best to suppress the temptation of the nephrite jade fragrance in his arms, and he gently pushed Li Ying away. "I can't be here for too long, or I'll be suspicious. Let's hurry up and discuss tomorrow's affairs! ”
Li Ying nodded.
"Tomorrow all the way out of the city will be hugging back and forth, although it is outside the city, there is no chance to get out. The only chance is when you go to the temple to worship Matsu. The Matsu temple is not big and cannot enter many people at the same time. I knew that there was a door at the back of the Matsu Temple, and the river was right outside the door.
When the time comes, I'll make an excuse and we'll get out the back door. It would be nice if someone could have a boat pick up there beforehand. In this way, we can go directly to Kashima by boat. My dad would never have thought that we didn't go back to China directly, but went to Kashima. ”
Yu Ren nodded in agreement. "Would you like to inform Ishihara and ask him to arrange for a boat to pick us up there?"
Li Ying shook her head, "Forget it." If Ishihara was in the city, he would have known that we were going to the Matsu Temple tomorrow to worship, and he would have gone to see the terrain in advance. He should have thought of that.
If we send someone or inform them ourselves now, it will be easy to reveal your identity, and in that case, our plans will be lost. It is better not to notice, and in case there is no boat, we will swim across the other shore. I knew that there was a small fishing village two or three miles downstream on the other side of the river, and that boats would be found there. ”
Yu Ren nodded, and the two discussed some more details, and Yu Ren withdrew. He didn't know if there were any other people sent by Li Dan in Li Ying's courtyard who were watching. In order not to arouse the suspicion of others, Yu Ren did not dare to stay in Li Ying's house for too long.
