Volume 2: The Golden Scroll Chapter 52 The Hidden Secret
For the time being, he didn't express Lu Meng's thoughts, and said that Yinxia helped Qiao Zhiye back to his small courtyard.
Entering the house, Qiao Zhiye was already extremely tired, and as soon as his head touched the pillow, he fell asleep. Yinxia helped him take off his shoes and pulled the quilt to cover him.
Thinking that he tricked her into going to the city, but he ran away alone without saying a word, Yinxia couldn't help but bump into it angrily. If he were awake now, he would have slapped him to see if he would dare to do this to her in the future.
Yinxia walked to the table angrily, poured a cup of tea and poured it down. The water was already cold, and the fire in her heart was extinguished. In fact, she didn't understand his painstaking efforts. He did this for nothing more than not wanting her to accompany him on the adventure.
The man in the bed slept very unsteadily, and the light smile that had been hanging on his lips disappeared, replaced by a suppressed gasp.
Yinxia's eyes unconsciously showed pity: this awkward guy, even if he cares about people, he has to make a smell of conspiracy. He always hides everything from the bottom of his heart, and never wants to be frank and open. But, it seems to be able to understand him a little. This distance from others must have something to do with his responsibility, right?
This afternoon, she went to a jewelry store in the city. Even if he offered to exchange the Night Pearl for Tang Wan'er's jade pendant, the shopkeeper still refused. When she tried to show the strange piece of black pottery, the shopkeeper suddenly changed his attitude. not only helped her exchange the night pearl for silver taels, but also respectfully took Tang Wan'er's jade pendant and returned it to her.
Sitting on the chair, Yinxia took out the black pottery from her arms and watched it repeatedly. This thing can actually retrieve the Tang Sect jade pendant for nothing, it should be an extremely important thing for him. What was his purpose in handing it over to her before he ventured into danger?
Fortunately, after she returned the jade pendant to Tang Wan'er, she remembered his body and immediately came to him again. After finding that the house was empty, she intuitively felt that something was wrong, and ran to find Ji Lianyue to discuss.
At that time, Ji Lianyue was talking to Lu Zhengyu. He immediately went to find his friend Wen Haowen.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but be a little afraid. If she doesn't come back immediately, will she never see him again?
I heard Wen Haowen say just now that once the stone door falls, it can only be opened from the outside. Once the stone chamber is sealed, it will be completely cut off from the outside world. At most, an hour will suffocate the people in the room. In Junan Villa, except for Lord Wen and Wen Haowen, the rest of them don't know how to open it.
Looking at the person on the bed, Yinxia hated and thought: How many secrets does this guy still hide? Sometimes, I really want to beat him up and beat him up and take a look at all his secrets.
As if sensing her gaze, the man on the bed groaned/groaned and rolled over, and a scroll more than a foot long rolled out of his arms.
The scroll rolls all the way to Silverglow's feet. She bent down to pick it up and walked to the bed, trying to put the scroll back in its place, but hesitated.
The scroll looked extremely old, it had never been seen on him before, and it was supposed to be something he had acquired tonight. Maybe it has something to do with those secrets of his. Do you want to open it and take a look?
No, it's stealing without permission!
She immediately dismissed her thoughts and quickly put the scroll back into his arms.
Why did you have such thoughts? With him, it seems that he really learns badly.
However, I really want to know the secret that he has hidden.
...... Or just sneak a peek?
With that in mind, her hand holding the scroll slowly withdrew carefully from his arms.
"Koji girl!" Ji Lianyue's low and dissatisfied voice came from the door, "Why did you want to take away the things of the third junior brother?"
"No, no!" Yinxia snapped and blurted out, "I just want to sneak a look." ”
Ji Lianyue stared at the scroll in her hand and frowned deeply, "This thing should be obtained by the third junior brother desperately tonight, I advise you not to move around." ”
Yinxia's face was hot, and she quickly stuffed the scroll back into Qiao Zhiye's arms.
"All things are done?" she asked, disguised, overwhelmed by momentary embarrassment.
"That's it. Ji Lianyue replied coldly, "It's late at night, please go back and rest early." ”
Yinxia reluctantly looked at the person on the bed, "His wound ......"
"With me, he'll be fine. Ji Lianyue interrupted her.
Yinxia was stunned, Ji Lianyue had always been polite, but at this moment, her gaze was cold. She thought he was stealing.
I would be treated as a thief! A sense of shame and indescribable indignation welled up in my heart. She lowered her head, gritted her teeth, took out the black pottery and handed it to Ji Lianyue, "This is his thing, please help me return him." ”
"I will. ”
"Then I'll take my leave. ”
"I won't be far away. Ji Lianyue walked around her expressionlessly, walked to the side of the bed, and looked down at Qiao Zhiye's injuries.
Yinxia paused for a moment at the door, glanced at the person on the bed one last time, and then turned to leave.
Ji Lianyue's alienation made her feel very uncomfortable, but she didn't want to explain more. With his senior brother taking care of him, he will definitely be fine. And she really has to hurry on the road, and the rest of the tribute is still waiting for her to send back, and it can't be delayed any longer.
......
At dawn, a carriage was speeding along the quiet road. The road wind blew, and the willow branches on the side of the road flew, like the long hair of a girl fluttering.
On the seat of the carriage, Yinxia was also clothed. She had not slept well the previous night, and this morning she went to buy the carriage, and took out the silver taels deposited in the jeweler's store, and hurried alone.
At this time, the sun had just revealed half of its face, and the brilliant morning glow stained half of the sky red. It's a pity that she is traveling west with her back, and the warm sun shines on her body, only reflecting her lonely back.
While driving the carriage, Yinxia absentmindedly nibbled on the steamed buns she had just bought in the city. The heart is heavy, as if it is weighed down by a heavy object.
When she came, she walked with her, but when she went, she was alone.
The tall walls were gradually left behind by the carriage, and the tall figure that had come with her was getting farther and farther away from her, never to be seen again.
However, the heaviness of the heart does not stop there. Because of last night's embarrassment, she didn't say goodbye to some liar this morning.
It's okay to leave like this. She cheered up and shouted at the horses.
He is also a native of the Central Plains, and it is enough to be betrayed once, so she doesn't want to have anything to do with these cunning Central Plains people.
It's just that, although I understand it, the guy's grinning appearance always lingers in my mind and lingers for a long time.
Yinxia was suddenly a little annoyed. I don't think about him! Thinking about it, the guy always said she was his woman with a hippie smile, but he never said he liked it properly. Because she took it seriously, he didn't trust her so much, not only did he take risks alone, but he also refused to tell her the truth.
Suddenly, his shoulders warmed, and the guy's grinning voice seemed to come to his ears again.
"Why don't you say goodbye to me when you leave? ”
Yinxia looked at the figures on the ground in a daze, turning into a pair. Wouldn't he? As soon as I remembered it, he came?
Someone got into the car briskly, grabbed her shoulders quite comfortably, and sat down beside her.
"Why are you here?" Yinxia blinked in disbelief, "Isn't it your father's birthday?"
"Don't mention it! Last night I destroyed the secret treasure that the Wen family had guarded for more than ten years. The old man was so angry that he almost slaughtered me. My injuries haven't healed yet. Someone said pitifully, and naturally rested his head on Yinxia's shoulder, "I can't stay in this Wen family any longer." Originally, the whole whole house looked at me unpleasantly, and wouldn't it be self-inflicted if I stayed any longer. ”
"Is your injury healing?" Yinxia came back to her senses and looked at him worriedly, "Didn't your senior brother help you heal?"
"The second senior brother has helped me a lot, and I am indeed much better now. It's just, alas!" Qiao Zhiye sighed heavily as he spoke.
Yinxia asked uneasily, "Is it really good?" Then why are you still sighing?"
"The injury is much better, but at the same time, I was severely reprimanded by the second senior brother. Qiao Zhiye's brows couldn't help but wrinkle together, "So as soon as he went out in the morning, I quickly slipped out." If he returns, he doesn't know how long he will be trained again. ”
"I think you deserve it. Looking at his face, which was more bitter than bitter gourd, Yinxia laughed out loud, and the heaviness in his heart seemed to dissipate most of it.
"You're really unsympathetic. Qiao Zhiye sneered, and then asked with a smile, "By the way, last time you said that you would invite me to be a guest in Yidu City, does that count?"
"What I say doesn't count when I do. Yinxia glanced at him.
"That's good. I finally found a place to continue eating and drinking. Qiao Zhiye stretched out contentedly, "I'm sleepy, I'll sleep for a while." ”
"You sleep. Yinxia looked at him, and her heart softened.
Qiao Zhiye yawned, closed her eyes, and collapsed on her lap as if she were boneless.
Yinxia didn't stop him, and let him lie down comfortably, a hint of pity drifting through his eyes. This duplicitous guy ran after her before her injury was healed, and he was worried about her.
There was a warm thing flowing through my heart, and the gloom just now seemed to be swept away in an instant.
The sun gradually rises high, and the pale golden sunlight softly sprinkles the world, enveloping everything in peace and tranquility.
The carriage moved smoothly under Yinxia's control, and the breathing of the person beside him also stabilized.
There was a sudden sound on the ground, and a long sword struck from behind the carriage, and plunged straight into the road, blocking the way of the carriage!
Qiao Zhiye, who was asleep, was so shocked that he opened his eyes suddenly, and his body bounced up like a spring.
"Huh~~" Yinxia hurriedly grabbed the reins and narrowly controlled the almost frightened horse.
"Who is so rude!" she glared and turned her head to look at her.
A man rode alone on the avenue, his clothes white as frost, and his face as cold as ice.
"Hey, it's Wen Si. The anger in Yinxia's eyes turned into surprise.
"Oops, the deadly man is coming. Run, run!" Qiao Zhiye was obviously surprised, grabbed her hand holding the reins, and urged anxiously.
"Where else do you want to flee?" a white coat jumped into the carriage with a swishing cold voice. Wen Haowu's face was like frost, and he grabbed his wrist, "Come back with me!"
