Chapter Ninety-Two: The First Assassin of the Slums
The snow fell more and more rapidly, and pieces of snowflakes flew all over the sky like flying flotsam, and the cold wind like a knife ruffled the river and hit the cheeks of a pair of young girls by the river.
Ye Chong held Qin Wuyue's soft little hand tightly at this moment, cherishing the warmth of this moment incomparably.
Ye Chonglou once told him to find a girl he liked.
At that time, Ye Chong still had too much unknown and confusion about this world, and his only goal was to climb towards the road of the strong, he thought that some things would be far away from him.
Because he was so close to his peak in his previous life, he was only alone when he died.
Later, he knew Ye Chonglou's past, and for the first time he experienced family affection, he made a vow, and he felt that this was what he should work hard to do.
To this day, he still thinks so, and insists on it.
But inevitably, there are people and things that he didn't expect will break into his life and his heart, such as friendship, such as love.
Ye Chong is not a hairy boy, although he is not immature, but still a teenager's appearance, there is half a mature and wise soul. He also asked himself what kind of emotion he yearns for, and the result is not a vigorous legend, but a plain but warm, beautiful and real. Because that's something he never had.
And now, Qin Wuyue has given him all this.
All this did not come suddenly, because Ye Chongqing clearly felt the deepening of the emotions between Qin Wuyue and him during this time. It's like when the right season comes, and the snowflakes will fall without hesitation.
So all this, Ye Chong held Qin Wuyue's hand, he felt that what his father asked him to find, he found it.
It's just that he has to survive this winter, and he will not be able to really have it until next spring.
At that time, he believed that Ye Chonglou, who was now nowhere to be found, would reappear in front of him.
This life has given him too many beautiful things that he has never had, so he wants to do his best to catch them.
Instead of being like in previous lives, some were not caught, and some were missed.
There are often regrets in life, and Ye Chong, who was infinitely close to success in his previous life, would not deny that he had regrets in his heart, but now although he is in a different world, he understands how to reduce his regrets.
The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and Qin Wuyue, who was immersed in Ye Chong's words who suddenly showed his heart, suddenly reacted, Ye Chong's body had not fully recovered at this time.
"Let's go back. She said softly to Ye Chong.
Ye Chong nodded, and with Qin Wuyue's support, in the snowstorm, he walked towards the courtyard in the depths of the streets.
Their footsteps were lightly imprinted on the shallow snow, and then smoothed out little by little by the huge cloak dragging the ground.
When Ye Chong and Qin Wuyue returned to the door of the Qin family's courtyard, they saw a carriage also driving in this direction in the wind and snow.
"It's Dong Wenyuan's carriage. ”
Qin Wuyue said to Ye Chong, "He took this carriage to see you last time. ”
In fact, she couldn't understand why Dong Wenyuan came to see Ye Chong, just like she didn't understand why Dong Wenyuan slapped Dong Tianqi in front of so many people last time, and then apologized to Ye Chong.
It's just that this delicate-minded girl hasn't asked, because in her opinion, Ye Chong has been close enough to her, if there is something he hasn't told herself, then there must be a reason for him to do so.
Another reason is that this kind girl doesn't want Ye Chong to feel that he has to know everything. This may also be regarded as a kind of trust between each other.
"Phew!"
With a long shout from the coachman, the carriage stopped right in front of the door of Qin Qin, Ye Chong and Qin Wuyue.
The curtain on the carriage was lifted, and Dong Wenyuan poked his head out.
"Ye Chong, hey, it looks like you're really awake!"
Dong Wenyuan, who was dressed in a noble robe, rubbed his hands, got off the carriage with a ball of white steam, and said, "I heard that Mr. Qin Baiqin went out with great interest, so I guessed that you should have woken up, so I immediately rushed over without stopping." ”
"You're spying on us?"
Qin Wuyue said with some astonishment.
Dong Wenyuan, who originally deliberately wanted to be more familiar, smiled awkwardly, and said with a haha: "This ...... I also care about Ye Chong's body. ”
Qin Wuyue pursed her lips and snorted, she would not be as gentle as she was to Ye Chong when dealing with outsiders.
However, she is still very strange, this Dong Wenyuan is a dignified Sima, why is his attitude much more humble than the last time he sees Ye Chong?
In fact, Ye Chong was also very unaccustomed to this great Sima's attitude towards him, and his first impression of Dong Wenyuan was actually still on the day when the disciples of the inner courtyard of the Divine General Academy were assessed, the image of a powerful minister on the round platform.
Dong Wenyuan naturally has a reason why he showed such a posture, because after Ye Chong was injured by Wang Donglin, Wu He and others had already publicly expressed their anger, which made him even more convinced that Hou Yinglong could become the final winner of the upcoming **.
Because in his opinion, the relationship between Ye Chong's father and son and Hou Yinglong, Zhu Rouge, and Wu He and others is so clear, it is almost impossible to make too many guesses to conclude that they must be a group of people.
And once Hou Yinglong sits on the throne, he, who has defected, will naturally not be treated badly, but he knows very well that no matter what, in Hou Yinglong's eyes, he cannot be compared with the Ye family's father and son after all.
So he was very willing to show favor to Ye Chong at this time.
People who have been immersed in yin officialdom for many years will never feel that they can't put down the shelf, as long as they meet someone who should put down the shelf and greet them with a smile, they never hesitate when they bend down and smile.
Ye Chong could vaguely guess something from Dong Wenyuan's expression, but he didn't take it to heart, because he never thought about seeking any position for himself after Hou Yinglong took the throne. He just did what he wanted to do and had to do.
"Lord Dong came to visit Ye Chong so eagerly, Ye Chong was very moved, but I don't know if there is anything else?"
Ye Chong looked at Dong Wenyuan and asked. He also knows that there is no need for the other party to brave the wind and snow just because he woke up, just to get closer to each other. Because the reality of the situation is far from that.
At this time, Dong Wenyuan glanced up at Qin Wuyue.
Qin Wuyue realized something, and immediately said, "You go into the house and talk, I'll go boil water and make tea for you." ”
"Miss Xiao Qin doesn't have to be polite, I just need to say a word to Ye Chong. ”
Dong Wenyuan took Ye Chong's arm, walked a few steps to the back of the carriage, and whispered in his ear: "The bamboo boss of Jin Yutang asked me to tell you that the things you want have arrived, and you live here now, and it is inconvenient for her people to come, so let me tell you that when you are better, go to her to get it." ”
Ye Chong nodded, knowing what the bamboo rouge was talking about, he smiled and said, "This little thing, and bothering Lord Dong to go on a trip in person, is really causing you trouble." ”
"Hey, you're welcome, I do care about your body, and I think I should take a look. Dong Wenyuan patted Ye Chong's shoulder as he spoke, and said, "Don't call me Master Dong in the future, I have a little friendship with your father, just call me Uncle Dong." ”
Ye Chong smiled and nodded, "Then thank you Uncle Dong." ”
Dong Wenyuan grinned with satisfaction, then said goodbye to Ye Chong, got into the carriage again, and left in the wind and snow.
Qin Wuyue supported Ye Chong and walked into the courtyard.
"I'll make you a pot of hot tea. ”
After Qin Wuyue settled Ye Chong, she turned around and walked out of the house.
In a few moments, she had already walked in with a pot of hot water.
Ye Chong sat on the recliner in front of the window, watching the senior sister who had been nicknamed the flower of the Divine General's Courtyard quite sophisticated in making tea, and suddenly thought, "Senior sister, is there anything you particularly want to do?"
"What do you particularly want to do?" Qin Wuyue raised her eyebrows, "Now, I just hope you get better soon." ”
Ye Chong smiled, "I'm not talking about this, but, your goal, your pursuit, such as being the number one swordsman in the world or something?"
"The number one swordsman in the world?" Qin Wuyue immediately stuck out her tongue, "I'm not a man, what is the number one in the world, besides, how difficult is it to be the number one in the world? ”
"Then why do you practice swords?"
"My father practiced kendo, so I naturally followed. ”
Qin Wuyue thought for a while, and then said: "Martial arts doesn't have to compete for your superiority and me's inferiority, you can only be able to protect yourself, and it is enough to protect the people around you." ”
At this time, Qin Wuyue had already made tea and handed it to Ye Chong.
Ye Chong took the hot tea in her hand, took a sip lightly, and turned his head to look at the snowflakes falling outside the window.
Many years later, he still vividly remembers the scenery of this snow, the taste of this cup of hot tea, and Qin Wuyue at this time, the innocent, natural, and carefree posture when he said those words.
......
The slums of Chaoge City and the Gaomen compound where the princes and nobles lived were located in the southeast and northwest corners of the city, respectively.
At this time, in a damp and gloomy earth temple in the wind-shrouded slum, a man in coarse cloth and a scruffy beard woke up from meditation.
He picked up a wine jar from his side, slapped the seal at the mouth of the jar, and poured the cheap shochu into his throat.
Like a giant whale drawing water, drink it all in one go.
"Huh!"
Putting down the still-empty jar, the man stood up and walked to the withered wooden door of the Land Temple, looking at the wind and snow outside.
The expression was stunned.
He raised his right hand, and a blazing light wrapped a short sword covered with spirit patterns appeared in the sky above his palm.
Sun Xuan Sword!
This person is Ye Chonglou, who has disappeared for many days and many people can't find a trace.
At this time, he looked at the wind and snow, and said to himself faintly: "Chong'er, being my son is destined to have a bad fate, and it is for your father to burden you." What the father can do now is to let you have more hole cards at the last moment, give you a little more hope, and fight to the death with the fate of that son of a bitch!"
As soon as the words fell, his figure turned into a black shadow in the wind and snow, and flew out quickly.
In the direction of the Gaomen compound.
