『Volume 2: The Golden Volume』 "Xia Kexing" Chapter 15 The Teahouse Conspiracy
"Why do you have to come here?" Yinxia asked as she looked at Childe Ye standing by the window, puzzled.
"Don't you think that talking about privacy needs to go to a dark corner, and you should whisper in a secret room to tell about the conspiracy?" Childe leaned against the window at night and looked out, full of emotion, "Watching the flow of people coming and going downstairs, do you have the feeling of trampling all the beings under your feet and being on top of you? Do you feel particularly excited to talk about conspiracy here?"
"This is not a secret room. Yinxia pointed out unceremoniously.
The place where the two of them are located is a private room on the second floor of a tea house called Yi Dong Yuan, and downstairs is the most prosperous main street in Guanhui City.
"It's not a secret room, but it's pretty much the same. This private room is said to be the most expensive in the city, and the soundproofing effect is certainly the best in the city. Childe shook his fan lightly and turned around in a chic manner, "The important thing is that there is still a lot of money left for this trip, if you are not invited to visit here, I am afraid that you will not be able to spend it." If I haven't even spent all the money, how can I show my sincerity in inviting guests?"
I like to do this kind of boring idle work. Yinxia rolled her eyes and followed his words: "Okay, I have deeply felt your sincerity. Now you can tell me about your plot?"
"There's no hurry. The refreshments here are the most famous, so it's never too late to try them first. Xiao Shunzi!" Childe turned around at night to collect the fan, called Er Xiao in a loud voice, and ordered more than a dozen refreshments and snacks in one go.
He is obviously a frequent visitor here, not only familiar with food, but also familiar with Xiao Er. It didn't take much effort, and Xiao Shunzi signed up for snacks one by one.
Childe is very good at studying each snack, explaining in detail and warmly beckoning Yinxia to enjoy.
Yinxia had eaten a lot of snacks on the street just now, and after tasting a few things, she couldn't help but urge again.
Childe didn't answer at night, squinted and tasted the pastry, and asked in a leisurely manner, "What do you think of Wen Si?"
"Martial arts are good. Yinxia recalled the swordsmanship that Wen Haowu displayed that night, which was really beautiful and unforgettable.
"How do you compare?"
"It's quite different. ”
Yinxia was a little discouraged, thought about it and said unadmittedly: "But if you talk about immediate kung fu, you don't know who killed the deer." ”
"The implication is, can you win him in a moment?" Childe opened his eyes lazily.
"That's nature, I grew up playing on horseback. If you talk about riding, I'm afraid there are few of you Central Plains people who can match me. Yinxia thought he didn't believe it, and made a horseback riding gesture as she spoke.
"I believe that. Childe nodded. Yinxia just raised a smile, but he said again, "But are you sure we're going to ride horses to the Wen family's secret vault to steal?"
"Huh?" Yinxia's expression froze, and after a moment, her face fell, "Then what do you say you should do?"
"It seems that there is no other way. If you want to enter the secret vault, you must first make Wen Si disappear!" Childe's eyes flickered and he made a decisive gesture.
"You're going to kill him?" Silverfall was taken aback.
"Don't you want to?" Gongzi squinted at her, "The people of the Wen family have humiliated you without mercy. ”
"Having said that, but there is no deep hatred, why put people to death. Yinxia's heart suddenly shuddered, and her eyes widened in disbelief. Could it be that he was actually a ruthless person, and the feeling of warmth she thought was all an illusion?
"You really don't look like a person who has been in the rivers and lakes like that. Childe lifted his chin and stared at her researchingly. It seems that when they first met, the monstrous anger she showed towards the Wen family was very different from what she actually thought.
"I haven't been in the rivers and lakes, I've been walking the rivers and lakes for almost two years. Yinxia became more and more displeased with his eyes, "What does this have to do with whether or not you have mixed up the rivers and lakes?" Anyway, Wen Si is also a brother who is connected to you by blood. ”
"On the rivers and lakes, blood for blood has always been repaid, I spit out what I eat, I give back what I take, and I will take a hundredfold revenge for what is given to me! It is not uncommon to abandon my wife and children, and what is the point of fratricidal cannibalism?"
"What are you talking about!" Yinxia slapped the table angrily: "If others treat you badly, you will definitely take revenge a hundred times back, then when others treat you well, can you repay you a hundred times? If you can't do it, don't say such cruel things." Besides, even if your father has done something to abandon his wife and children, and Wen Si has not done anything to you, why do you treat him like this? I didn't expect you to be a ruthless person, I really misjudged you!"
"So......" Childe Ye suddenly smiled strangely, "Although you are walking in the rivers and lakes, you are well protected, so you don't know the sinister heart of people at all." ”
Yinxia's heart moved when he said this, and the secret in her heart was gently touched.
In these days when she was forced to walk the rivers and lakes, she was indeed properly protected. Every time she is in distress, there is always a tall figure in front of her...... Since the fall of Gaochang, her temper has become more and more irritable day by day, and her heart is full of resentment. However, although she hated the Tang King, hated those ungrateful profiteers, and even hated the Central Plains people, she never had the idea of returning blood for blood. Just because someone told her...... Guarding is harder than revenge, but it's worth it.
Raising her eyes to look at him, Yinxia said seriously: "Let me ask you, even if Master Wen was sorry for you, he is your father after all." In order to take revenge on him, don't you even want the happiness in front of you anymore?"
"Is the happiness in front of you?......" Childe paused in the night, and waves swelled in his dark and heavy eyes. He lowered his eyes and said fiercely: "This kind of hypocritical happiness, don't do it!"
Yinxia frowned, thinking about how to persuade him again.
Childe suddenly laughed out loud.
"I said you, when will you not misunderstand me?" he leaned back in his chair and pointed at Yinxia, panting with laughter.
Yinxia was stunned by his laughter, and her brows glared at him deeply.
"Am I the kind of person who likes to kill and fight?" Childe Ye's face showed the same laziness as ever, and he blew his fingers with pity, looking left and right, "Actually, when I say 'disappear', I just want Wen Si to disappear from the vault." ”
"Disappear from the vault?" Silverglow repeated in confusion.
"Of course. Seeing her stunned appearance, Childe couldn't help but laugh, "As long as Wen Si is transferred away from the vault, without his guard, we can enter the vault smoothly." ”
Yinxia reacted for a long time before she understood what he meant, and glared at him angrily: Damn, this guy is playing with her again!
"Actually, I came to you today to think of a way to transfer Wen Si from the front of the vault. Childe Ye stretched out a finger mysteriously, "I have two plans, one wen and one martial arts, which one do you want to listen to first?"
In view of his remarks just now, Yinxia chose cautiously, "Wen's." ”
"Tsk, that's not like your style. Childe's face was full of regret, and he leaned forward and said, "I highly recommend using the 'martial arts' method." ”
"Do you mean it?" Yinxia pushed him away impatiently.
Childe pretended to be hit hard and fell back into the chair, "You should know that the Wen family is going to choose a wife for Wen Si." ”
"So what?"
Childe smiled and didn't answer, and squeezed his eyes at her with bad intentions.
Yinxia's heart moved, and she couldn't help but be furious, "It turns out that you not only want me to be a thief, but also want me to be a liar!"
"Rest your anger, stop your anger. When Gongzi saw her raise her hand and get up, he immediately opened his hand to protect his face, "At that time, I saw that you were so angry, and I thought that you would do whatever it took to seek revenge on the Wen family." With your own strength to fight against the powerful Wen family, it is better to directly settle Wen Si. I'm not thinking about you. If you don't want to, I certainly won't force it. ”
Seeing his head shrunk and aggrieved, Yinxia somehow remembered that she had slapped him twice in a fit of rage.
She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth slightly, raised her hand and scared him again, before she straightened her face and said: "Angry is angry, I won't do anything." After coming to the Central Plains, I have seen a lot of people like the Wen family, is it possible that I will all take revenge and go back? Besides, with so many women running for election, how do you know that Wen Si will definitely be interested in me?" But under the influence of Childe's night, he unconsciously called him Wen Si.
"Because you are very different from the Central Plains woman. Childe's eyes sparkled at night, and a faint smile appeared on his lips, "I have a strong feeling that if you are willing to go to the Wen family, compared to those dancing girls, you will definitely stand out from the crowd." ”
"Am I really so special?" Yinxia stroked her cheek, and her heart couldn't help but glow with joy. Although she has been praised for her beauty, no one has ever praised her as special.
"How could my son's vision be wrong. Childe sat up straight and shook the folding fan, "Actually, I guessed well. That night, if Wen Si was hostile to you, he would definitely leave you behind with a sword. And he didn't, didn't?"
"No hostility means nothing. ”
"You don't know that. The corners of Childe's mouth were raised high, "I know too much about people with Wen Si's character." If he is not hostile to you, he has a good feeling. From what I've observed, he probably doesn't have a small impression of you......"
"Don't say this kind of gossip in front of me in the future, I don't like to hear it!" Yinxia interrupted.
"That's why I highly recommend using the 'martial arts' method just now. Of course, this 'text' method can't be used, because you are now 'my woman'. Childe stared at her meaningfully.
"What is the method of 'martial arts' you are talking about?" Yinxia was displeased in her heart, but she couldn't say anything to him because of her promise, so she could only turn her words away.
"Heaven must not be divulged. The corners of Childe's lips lifted lightly, and he smiled mysteriously, "You are still here tomorrow morning, and I invite you to watch a good show." ”
Yinxia didn't ask again, and looked at him intently. There always seemed to be rippling water in his eyes, and there were fine floating lights flashing in the layers of waves, which seemed to be bright and dark, unpredictable.
In fact, this man has only known each other for a few days. What he says always seems to be true or false, should we continue to believe him?
Childe Ye put on a serious face and raised his hand to promise, "It's really a good show, I didn't lie to you." ”
Yinxia stared at him for a long time before slowly replying, "Okay." ”
