Table of Contents 246· The Lonely King
On a quiet night, in the empty hall of the villa, Bai Ruoyan shrunk on the sofa, her arms clenched her knees, and the clock showed the passing time, obviously it was the middle of the night, but Bai Ye had not come back yet, and it was clear that the two of them went out in the afternoon, so she came back alone, saying that Bai Ye had something to do.
"Why haven't you come back...... My sister is waiting for you...... Bai Ye ...... buried his head between his knees, his voice full of cold loneliness.
Time Rambler Hotel.
Bai Ye put on his clothes in an orderly manner, there was still a strong smell of hormones left in the room, and the exhausted Cen Feiyi was lying on the bed, the white silk was covered on his body, revealing his white shoulders, "Are you leaving?" Thinking that she was asleep, Bai Ye's movements were slightly sluggish, "It's not early, the old sister must still be waiting for me." "Tut, if you go down any further, you will soon become the same person as Bai Ruoyan." Muttering a little listlessly, Cen Feiyi soon let out a steady snoring sound, Bai Ye glanced at the back of the woman on the bed with a complicated expression, pushed the door and walked into the living room of the suite, to his surprise, the chair where the two of them were sitting before had been occupied by another person.
Lin Yingyin, one of the Three Holy Heavens, is also the only outlier in the Three Holy Heavens who is not human.
"It's over?" Leaning the scepter against his side, Lin Yingyin looked up at the clock on the wall, her golden eyes looked very beautiful in the dim light, "Yes, it's been almost two hours." Bai Ye almost lost his perception of the outside world because he was drugged by Cen Feiyi, and he didn't expect that there would be people listening to the play outside, "Don't be nervous, I'm just taking a break here, the clown doesn't like you, so he hid elsewhere, as for Zhang Yuan, he seems to have a bad impression of you, and went to the roof to smoke, you don't seem to have any popularity in our revolutionary camp." "Is it necessary to have a good relationship with a group of crazy people?" Pulling up his neckline, Bai Ye walked towards the door of the room, even if it was Cen Feiyi, Bai Ye would still remain vigilant when he interacted with her.
"Hey, Bai Ye, you and Cen Feiyi are both types who don't trust other people lightly, why, do you two have such a tacit understanding?" The moment Lin Yingyin turned his head, Bai Ye's footsteps just stopped at the door, "What do you want to say?" "It's the first time I've seen Cen Feiyi sleep next to someone so peacefully, enjoying peace without vigilance, although both of you keep saying that you don't trust each other, but in my opinion, you trust each other without hesitation in your hearts. Lin Yingyin thought that she wouldn't look away, Bai Ye and Cen Feiyi were like two sharp swords out of the sheath, sharp, and equally sharp with each other, getting along together, but with an incredible sense of tranquility.
"Are you thinking too much? In this world, the only thing I can fully trust is my family. Pushing the door out, Bai Ye disappeared behind the door.
Lin Yingyin's toes lightly tapped the floor, making a slight and rhythmic sound, and he muttered silently: "If you didn't trust Cen Feiyi, how could you come to the meeting alone, if you didn't trust Bai Ye, you wouldn't have slept so peacefully...... You are really a pair of dog men and women made in heaven, how do you feel, but a little envious. He glanced into the half-hidden bedroom and turned off the lights, leaving only the colorful neon lights flashing into the living room, casting a rainbow of light and shadow......
When I opened my eyes, I saw the white ceiling.
By the way, I'm home.
Bai Ye sat up, still wearing a coat that had not been taken off, and beside him was Bai Ruoyan who was curled up in a ball, it was already the second half of the night when he came back, and he saw the old lady who had fallen asleep a long time ago in the living room, and he wanted to carry her back to the room, but he was caught by the dead, so he had to put her beside him, "Sister, it's morning." patted Bai Ruoyan's soft cheeks, in exchange for a low snoring sound, and I don't know if I was pretending to be asleep.
"Really, wouldn't it be nice to go back to your room early to sleep. I complained, but the corners of my mouth couldn't help but turn up, once upon a time, I was lonely and only accompanied by my sister, and no one could understand the abnormal interdependence of the sister and brother.
Not in the past.
Future?
I'm afraid there won't be either.
"Good work, sis. Quietly left the room, before leaving, Bai Ruoyan covered the quilt, walked downstairs, and found that there were already guests visiting.
Two groups of people who didn't expect.
Wu Yi and Li Xiaoyun, their accompanying subordinates also occupied most of the space in the living room.
"I hope I didn't disturb your morning. Sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, Li Xiaoyun was drinking coffee made with lemon, "I heard that you moved to a new house, and I haven't had a chance to congratulate you." "I happened to meet this guy at the door, because of some mission, I happened to live in the holy city for a while, and finally waited until you came back. One by one, they seemed to be very familiar with each other, Bai Ye rolled his eyes helplessly, "I don't seem to be familiar with you to this point, right?" "Hahaha, aren't people just from strange resistance to familiarity." Li Xiaoyun's self-familiar personality was brought into full play, and he turned a blind eye to Bai Ye's deliberate indifference, but Luo Wenwen, who was standing beside him, looked a little unkind.
On the other side of the living room, there is Yun Yi, who has already gotten up to receive guests, and there are prayers, Nia, Qing Yu, who has just returned to the villa, and Luo Yunxiu, who has finally cheered up.
"Li Xiaoyun forget it, I know that he has a lot of connections in the Holy Capital, but you ...... Isn't it really good to stay in the capital of the Empire?" Bai Ye walked to Yun Yi's side, sat down casually, and waved his hand to make something with lemons in the kitchen to satisfy his hunger, "Many people in Shenzhou are full of extreme hatred for Tianwu Kingdom. "Speaking of which, you've been out of here for a while, and you probably didn't know that we were visiting the wèn group, of course, the person in charge of visiting the wèn was the female monster in Xingluo, and I happened to be more free, so I was dragged over to make up the numbers. "Behind Wu Yi, the blind Nanyun, the tall Tang Ruilin, and ...... Enchanting Mo Lili, that woman has already hugged Qing Yu, and kept rubbing her face against each other, she is really shameless! Bai Ye was silent, and pulled her thoughts back: "Xingluo? Oh, it's that one-eyed female general, it's not a smart choice for her to stay in the Holy City when she is so sensitive." "Even you noticed it?" Li Xiaoyun was probably surprised that Bai Ye would know everything about the political situation, even if the presidential faction and the family faction were already incompatible, but in the eyes of ordinary people, there was absolutely nothing unusual.
"I can't smell the smell of gunpowder, of course, none of this has anything to do with me. Spreading out his hands, Bai Ye shrugged, "You two, what are you here to see me for?" "Come and meet your friends." "Come and meet your comrades. The answer was almost unanimous, but it was a bit too synchronous.
"You guys are really ......" and the friendship between the two is limited to a few collaborations with the same interests, I didn't expect the two to naturally classify themselves into the ranks of friends, Wu Yi is afraid that he doesn't have many friends in his homeland, after all, he is a member of the royal family, Li Xiaoyun...... He lived to make friends with others.
"I'll be busy in the next few days, and I probably don't have time to visit, so I chose today. Li Xiaoyun put down the empty cup and nodded to the lemon that was coming out of the kitchen, "The coffee you brewed is delicious." "It's useless to please me, the master doesn't like you. Lemon's straightforward answer almost made Luo Wenwen draw her sword and jump up, but Li Xiaoyun reached out and held it down, "Bai Ye." "What's wrong, a stern expression, it's disgusting. "The master and the maid are both virtuous, which makes Li Xiaoyun cry and laugh.
"There's going to be a storm here, so don't get involved, or it's going to be dangerous. After speaking, Li Xiaoyun stood up and waved his hand at Yun Yi and the others, "Next time, I will come back as a guest." Hurriedly leaving with Luo Wenwen, looking at the backs of the two, Bai Ye was thoughtful, what was Li Xiaoyun hinting at? It is impossible for his cooperation with Cen Feiyi to be detected by others, so he is just instinctively aware of his hostility towards Zhao Yan?" "What does Li Xiaoyun mean?" Wu Yi also heard that something was wrong, and asked curiously.
"Who knows, besides, you're going to eat here?"
"Don't you want your comrades-in-arms to eat! Our funds for visiting the Wèn regiment are running out, and a lot of them are to wipe the butts of your subordinates!" Wu Yi pointed at Luo Yun and said confidently.
The rare, invincible-skinned Luo Yunxiu twisted his head and whistled.
"Alright, Lemon, prepare lunch. Bai Ye was half-forced to leave this group of strong men of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom to eat.
Compared with the harmonious atmosphere here, the major families in Shenzhou are casting an ominous shadow.
In the mansion of the god homeless, there are many people gathered, they are all elites who come and go in the upper class of this country, and today, they all come here together, and their faces are full of uneasiness.
Zhao Yan's large-scale actions caused huge losses to the interests of the Shenwu family and the Donggong family, and the inspection team in the name of anti-corruption almost destroyed part of the family's power in the government in only half a month, and if it continues, the government will soon no longer be their world.
"Mr. Yu, hasn't the old master gotten up yet?" a gray-haired councillor anxiously walked back and forth in the luxurious living room for two hours, just to see the side of Shen Wu, and the second housekeeper of Shen Wu who entertained them here was Yu Xiaomin, the second housekeeper of Shen Wujia.
"The head of the house, he just took medicine in the morning, and he wants to rest for a while, everyone, don't be impatient. Yu Xiaomin quietly glanced at the watch on his wrist, and the frightened looks of those dignitaries made him have a rough estimate, "Actually...... The old master has something for me to convey to you, within the allotted time. "What!" "The old master has an idea!" "I just said, only the old master can rely on it at this time!" Those dignitaries who were originally restless stretched their necks one by one, but no one dared to rudely approach Yu Xiaomin, this person in front of him was the most top-notch powerhouse in Shenzhou!
"It's estimated that the time is about the same, and the news should be coming soon. Before Yu Xiaomin's words fell, a group of people rushed in from outside, all of whom were subordinates brought by important officers.
"What, Lee Chang-ho was arrested?" "Isn't he Zhao Yan's favorite general?" "How did you do it!" "You mean, Jizo Gate's hand?" For a while, there was a commotion in the living room, like a vegetable market outside, and the decadent expressions of the dignitaries were swept away, and they were all as excited as if they had taken medicine.
Yu Xiaomin smiled and said goodbye to those dignitaries one by one, and returned to the room where there was only one god.
The old man did not have any health problems and looked very energetic.
"Master, they're all back. ”
"A group of people who can't hold back, obviously encountering this kind of problem, the first thing to look for should be Xian'er. The tone was full of dissatisfaction, I don't know if it was for that group of dignitaries, or for my unsuccessful grandson, the wrinkles between Shen Wuying's eyebrows were much deeper than a year ago.
"Lee Chang-ho is the only cronie that Zhao Yan can trust in the financial system, and taking him down can be regarded as a counterattack, after all, he is still a young man, he is too impatient, and he wants to cut off our roots in one go, but he forgets that he also lives on our roots. The old man lay on the rocking chair with his fists clenched, smacking his lips in comfort.
"Master, Jizomen has handed over the evidence of Lee Chang-ho's corruption to the inspection team, and I believe they dare not cover it up. Yu Xiaomin began to make tea for the old man quickly, and soon, a refreshing fragrance of tea wafted in the room.
"This is just the beginning, in the future, I will continue to let the Jizo Gate arrest people, if I want to catch the handle of officials, it is not simple, in the world, there will be no clean and clean rulers, and even if it is really incorruptible, it can be faked...... It is important for me to make the group of neutral and gloating guys realize that this storm will not only affect us in the contest with Zhao Yan, but also affect them, so that the inspection team itself will be confronted by the entire national bureaucracy, and then, the final blow will be to find the loopholes in the inspection team, as long as the members of the inspection team themselves have corruption problems, then the entire inspection team will die, and the prestige and reputation that Zhao Yan has built up will be easily shattered...... Already the general, young man. "On the chessboard in front of Shen Wuying, the chess pieces belonging to his own side densely surrounded the only king of the other party, and in the chessboard world of Shen Wuying, the lonely king was Zhao Yan.
"Speaking of which, what about Xian'er, as the head of the family, he is not in the Holy City at this time. Shen Wuming suddenly remembered that he hadn't seen his grandson for a long time.
"It seems to be going to deal with a business. Yu Xiaomin told the truth.
"Hmph...... No matter what the weight is...... If Kui is still there, then the child can definitely support this family, and I can retire with peace of mind. "But Shen Wuming knows, that's just an extravagant hope, Shen Wukui is not the kind of person who will be bound by the rules of the world, and besides, there has always been a conjecture echoing in Shen Wuming's mind.
Shen Wukui may not have left because he hated the constraints of the family, he may have thought a long time ago that the Shen Wugui was destined to perish, so he was out early.
"What was I thinking...... God has no home, will always be above this country, and no one can defeat us. A burst of light burst out of the old man's eyes, and he still had his last breath left, so he could use it to completely crush Zhao Yan, a traitor!
