That night, after dinner, Ling Yun sat alone in the room, casually flipping through a copy of [Lu's Spring and Autumn] on the table, only to feel upset.

Suddenly there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.

turned around, only to see He Chengqi walking in with an indifferent expression; Ling Yun couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "Second son? ……”

He Chengqi was carrying a bag of things in his hand, his face sank like water, and he slowly walked to the front of several cases.

Ling Yun hurriedly got up and said, "Second son, please take a seat." ”

He Chengqi said coldly: "No need. I'm here today to deliver things back to Commander Ling. As he spoke, he put the bag on the table and opened it.

Ling Yun saw that it was his cyan package and the fish blue sword he was wearing.

He Chengqi glanced at him detachedly and said, "These things are led by Ling Commander?" ”

Ling Yun glanced at it, nodded and said, "Yes, thank you Second Son." His brows furrowed slightly, a little confused.

Previously, he had entrusted He Luwei, the housekeeper of the Hou Ye's Mansion, to go to Zhengyang Tower to retrieve these items for himself, and He Luwei also promised to do it well, and said very earnestly that he would go to pick it up in person, and he must ensure that this matter is handled properly.

But after that, there was no news. Now that more than ten days have passed, he is thinking about whether to arrange for someone to come over and ask, but he doesn't want He Chengqi to personally carry these things and send them over tonight.

What is the reason for this, Ling Yun couldn't help but have doubts in his heart.

Seeing the puzzled look on Ling Yun's face, He Chengqi pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, and said unhurriedly: "Is Commander Ling strange how your things came to me?" That day, the housekeeper took these things back to his house and was about to deliver them to you, when he happened to meet me. At that time, I was thinking about going over to visit Commander Ling, so I asked the butler to hand over these things to me, thinking of bringing them with me.

"I was going to come over right away, but I didn't want something to happen in the house temporarily, so I was busy dealing with it, and when things went wrong, I forgot about this stubble. As a result, the delay was more than ten days, and I didn't remember it until now, so I hurriedly sent the things over. Oh, I'm really embarrassed, Commander Ling, I don't think I delayed anything for you, right? ”

As he spoke, his non-smiling eyes glanced at him, and his eyes were full of teasing.

Looking at his banter, Ling Yun pursed the corners of his lips and secretly complained, "This second son didn't mean it, right?" At a young age, can your memory be so bad? ”

His face was silent, and he said lightly: It's nothing. As long as you can remember to send it over, Ling Yun has thanked the second son here. ”

He Chengqi snorted almost inaudibly, and said expressionlessly: "Why, Commander Ling didn't open it to take a look, are there any valuables missing in it?" ”

Ling Yun said: "The second prince said that he laughed, where do I have any valuables here?" ”

He Chengqi dragged out his tone and said, "That's not likely." This thing is white gold, and it's worth a lot of money. ”

As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows defiantly at him, and shook the talisman in his hand.

Ling Yun was startled, and a solemn look flashed on his originally peaceful face; He didn't even think about it, his subconscious impulse made him "Danfeng Chaoyang", and he wanted to grab the talisman.

He Chengqi had already taken precautions, and his body flashed quickly.

Ling Yun pounced into the air, couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said urgently: "Give me back!" ”

He Chengqi smiled when he saw this, as if he thought the scene in front of him was funny, and his smile contained three points of funny and seven points of ridicule, "Others say that Commander Ling is calm and calm, and he is not surprised-I really didn't expect that your Commander Ling also had such a panicked time!" ”

Ling Yun's anxious heart calmed down, he eased his emotions that were almost out of control, glanced at He Chengqi a little speechlessly, and said helplessly: "Second son, don't make trouble, return the things to me." ”

He Chengqi sneered: "I can give it back to you, but you have to tell me first, is this talisman yours or not?" ”

Ling Yun had no choice but to say, "Yes." ”

He Chengqi hooked the corners of his mouth lightly and said: Then I don't understand, my eldest brother He Chenglin also once had a talisman that was exactly the same as Yiyi - he disappeared with his people twenty-five years ago; Now that such a talisman has appeared in Commander Ling's package, what the hell is going on, please Commander Ling give me a reasonable explanation. ”

Ling Yun's face was pale, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

He Chengqi said again: "Also, more than ten days ago, Commander Ling was seriously injured and fell into a coma, and when the Imperial Doctor was treating your injuries, I also saw a dark red unicorn birthmark on your left arm - what do you say about this?" ”

Ling Yun's brows furrowed, his expression changed several times, and his handsome and dustless face showed an indistinguishable and complex color; He held back the tears that were about to fall, and said in a voiced voice: "So you know everything...... In that case, Cheng Qi, can I call you brother? ”

He Chengqi didn't seem to buy Ling Yun's sincerity, he almost didn't bother to raise his eyelids, he only snorted coldly, his tone was full of contempt and disdain.

Ling Yun ignored his indifference and continued, "At the same time, I want to ask you to promise me one thing. ”

He Chengqi rolled his eyes and said, "Say it." ”

Ling Yun said: "Please don't talk about this matter, especially don't let ...... Aunt Evergreen knows. ”

"Why?"

Ling Yun hesitated for a moment, "It's hard to explain the reason for this for a while, in short, just ask you to promise me about this, okay?" ”

He Chengqi's narrow eyes glanced over with disdain, and mocked: "Hmph, what kind of chastity archway does the lowly daughter want to erect?" ”

Ling Yun couldn't help but be stunned, his clear eyes flashed, and he said coldly, "What do you mean by this?" ”

He Chengqi said: "Since you want to climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, recognize your ancestors and return to your ancestors, and say it straightforwardly, why do you need to behave here in a roundabout way?" Hmph, I want to cover it up. ”

"You ......" Ling Yunjian raised his eyebrows, so angry that he couldn't speak for a while.

He Chengqi said: "Actually, you don't have to be embarrassed. As the saying goes, people go to high places, and water flows to low places - I have long been surprised by this kind of person, and five years ago, there was an imposter in the house to recognize the royal family!

"Now I just don't understand, how could a humble gentleman like Commander Ling, who prides himself on being open-minded, indifferent and detached, become so vulgar and unbearable?"

When He Chengqi said this, he deliberately prolonged his tone, and his tone was extremely narrow, and he was extremely cynical.

Ling Yun said angrily: "You are simply a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain!" As the second prince said, why should I resign from the post of the second-grade guard commander of the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department, and let the dignified county horses not do it, and be willing to degenerate and ask for hardships as I am now? ”

The corners of He Chengqi's lips lifted, and he laughed gloomily, and the smile did not reach the bottom of his eyes, "Who knows what idea you have in your heart, if you are really bright, don't chase after the position of the eldest prince of the Hou Ye Mansion anymore, and leave this place as soon as possible!" ”

Ling Yun's heart sank, "Are you giving an eviction order?" ”

He Chengqi said in a cold tone: "What, are you reluctant, I know that you still can't leave behind your fame, fortune, glory and wealth!" …… Why don't you speak? Tell you, surnamed Ling, even if you don't leave, even if you get the so-called position of the eldest prince of the Hou Ye Mansion, don't expect me to recognize you as an elder brother! ”

Ling Yun was annoyed, raised his hand, and slapped He Chengqi's fair face!

This slap made He Chengqi's cheeks almost numb, a trace of scarlet blood oozed from the corners of his mouth, and his ears roared.

He Chengqi stumbled and almost fell; He covered his hot, swollen face, glared and shouted, "You...... You actually hit me? ……”

Ling Yun's originally indifferent and detached face bloomed with a cold color, and his voice was as cold as ice: "This slap is a lesson for me as an elder brother!" ”

"You ......"

Ling Yun paused slightly, and then continued: "He Chengqi, I also want to tell you, in fact, I don't want to stay here for a long time, but I don't need you to drive me away, and I don't allow others to insult my personality and self-esteem!" ”

He Chengqi glanced at him in confusion, as if he didn't believe his ears, and said, "What, you really ...... Going? ……”

"Yes. In fact, what is the second son of the Hou Ye Mansion, I don't care about it at all. As he spoke, Ling Yun silently turned his face and looked at the bleak moonlight outside the window, his face frustrated.

He Chengqi looked at him with blazing eyes and said, "Then when are you going to leave?" ”

Ling Yun pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow!" ”

He Chengqi's dim eyes immediately skipped a look of amazement, and he bent his eyebrows and smiled lightly: "That's great, I just hope you don't regret it when the time comes!" ”

Ling Yun said: "Lingyun has always made a promise, as long as he has promised something, he will never break his promise, and the second son can only rest assured." ”

He Chengqi glanced at him coldly, and said leisurely: "That's the best, so let's make a decision." ”

Ling Yun looked at him coldly and did not speak.

He Chengqi turned his face and looked out the window, the moon outside was white and the wind was clear, and it was already in the middle of the moon. He turned his face to Ling Yun and said, "It's not too early, He has been bothering for a long time, and it's time to leave." ”

Ling Yun said in a cold voice: "I won't send it far." ”

He Chengqi looked at Ling Yun's indifferent and lonely demeanor, and for some reason, his heart suddenly twitched unconsciously; I wanted to say something more, but I didn't know where to start for a while, so I just pouted in frustration and turned around and walked out the door.

Looking at his indifferent figure, Ling Yun only felt that his heart was cold to the bottom. He really couldn't figure out why his own brother, who was close to him, did this to him? Will the love of brotherhood, the will of compatriots, really be washed away without a trace by this hypocritical humanity and ruthless world?

At this time, he suddenly felt that there was something unusual outside; couldn't help but change his expression, a cold glint flashed in his clear eyes, and he shouted in a deep voice outside the door: "Who is it?" ”

Before the words fell, the evil wind outside the window was not good, and the three-point cold star shot in radially, directly taking Ling Yun's head, chest, and abdomen.

Ling Yun turned around with a "phoenix spin nest", deftly spun his body, tossing and flying, and the three hidden weapons skilfully slid over the edge of his clothes.

Ling Yun shot like lightning, raised his hand and grabbed the Yuqing Sword on the table, and said coldly at the door: "Ming people don't do dark things, come out!" ”

The man outside the door sneered, and flew down from the eaves like a shock, just opposite He Chengqi.

He Chengqi was in a panic, and he was grabbed by someone like an eagle catching a chicken, and then the cold long sword in his hand was horizontal, sticking to his neck.

At this time, Ling Yun also went out with a sword, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and open his eyes, and shouted: "Let him go!" ”……
