Chapter Twenty-Eight

The dungeon was dark and damp, Tang Qiqi paced back and forth with a worried look on his face: "I don't know if Sister Xunyin has escaped." ”

Xiao Mu gathered the hay into a pile and lay down comfortably. While playing with the saber he got from Meiyin Villa, he asked, "Miss Tang, I plan to name this sword Ruofeng, what do you think?"

"When is it, you still have the heart to think about this. ”

"Miss Liu's ice and snow are smart, and Wen Ember is strong in martial arts. Instead of worrying about them, you should fill your stomach first. ”

Tang Qiqi glanced at the rice on the ground that was messily covered with a few pieces of radish and greens, and said with disgust: "Like pig bran, I don't know how you ate it." ”

"When people are cornered, they can eat anything. Xiao Mu lifted his sleeves and joked: "You young ladies of the family are really delicate and expensive, and you are picky." Why don't you bite me? It's the best meat. ”

"You won't die if you eat less, you think everyone is like you, hungry and hungry. ”

Xiao Mu lowered his head and smiled. Yes, the plague was rampant that year, both parents died, and in order to find some food for his grandmother on the sickbed, he even dug up the livestock and poultry that were buried alive and roasted them. Fortunately, those cattle were not infected with the plague, otherwise he would have gone to see the king of Yama long ago. It's just that since then, he has had a great panic about being hungry, and even radish and cabbage can eat it with relish.

Tang Qiqi saw his gloomy expression, and hurriedly explained: "Hey, I'll just say it casually, if it reminds you of something sad, I'm sorry." ”

"What can be sad, I've always been a dead face, heartless. Xiao Mu smiled: "But Miss Tang would actually apologize, I really didn't expect it." ”

"Boring. Tang Qiqi rolled his eyes. There was a sound of chains outside the dungeon, and the guards opened the iron fence and rudely pushed Liu Xunyin and Wen Ember to the ground.

"Sister Xunyin, Brother Wen. Why are you also being arrested!" Tang Qiqi hurriedly helped them up: "Are you all right?"

"We're fine. Liu Xunyin comforted: "What about them like stars and moons?"

"They are domestic servants and are not locked up with us. Xiao Mu asked, "Have you seen Miss Lingyun?"

"Seeing it, she will take the fake death pill tonight, and the plan will be carried out as usual. ”

"How about business as usual? We're all locked in. Tang Qiqi asked, "I have tried, this iron fence is extremely strong, and it is constantly cut with a knife." ”

Xiao Gongzi expected that things would not go as smoothly as expected, so he made a second plan in advance. As long as Miss Lingyun takes the fake death pill tonight, we can come forward and use the antidote as a bargaining chip, asking Master Ling to promise us a condition. ”

"What if he doesn't?"

"I can only gamble, after all, Miss Lingyun is his only daughter, and he will not ignore it. ”

In the early morning of the next day, I heard a commotion in the Sun Palace, and the crying continued. The guards in the dungeon were half taken away, and they came and went in a hurry, changing into plain mourning clothes.

"I think someone found out that Miss Lingyun had committed suicide. Xiao Mu said: "We can make a move." ”

"Hmm. Liu Xunyin nodded lightly, grabbed the fence and shouted, "Let me out!" ”

"It's up to you, people can't be resurrected after death, what are you dreaming of!" said the guard, "Treat me well, be honest!"

"If she can't do it, is it up to you?" Ruyue walked in and scolded sharply, her eyes were red and swollen, and she was dressed in filial piety clothes: "These people are Xiao Chumen, you are indiscriminately locked in the dungeon, you really ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall!"

"Ruyue girl, why are you here. It was they who trespassed into the Sun Palace at night that we ......"

"Trespassing?" Ruyue sneered: "Miss was unwell last night, so I specially invited them to check the pulse." It's good that you guys directly deducted it, delaying the best time to heal the young lady. If the master knows this, I think you have a few lives to pay!"

The guards were frightened: "Miss Ruyue, spare your life! We really don't know ......." ”

"What nonsense! Don't let people go quickly!" Ruyue said sharply.

"Ruyue girl, how did you come out. Liu Xunyin asked.

Ruyue bowed down and said in a low voice: "Everyone, the young lady has taken the pill according to the plan and is unconscious. The lord was in mourning, and because of the love that he had grown up with since childhood, he pardoned us and came out to comb the young lady's hair and change her clothes. ”

"What about Yang Shunliang?"

"He has been kneeling outside the mourning hall for several hours, and the old man is unwilling to meet him. ”

"Miss Ruyue, can you take us to the mourning hall?"

"Okay, everybody, please. ”

Ling Feng seemed to have aged ten years old overnight, full of white hair. Liu Xunyin was touched in his heart, and saluted: "Master Ling, I am sure that I can bring the young lady back to life." ”

"Is this true?" Ling Feng hurriedly got up, but stumbled because of his lack of physical strength: "Who are you?"

"In Xialiu Xunyin, there are seventy or eighty percent sure that I can wake up Miss. But in the next fight, I want to ask Master Ling to promise me a condition. ”

"You say, you say, I promise you whatever the conditions. ”

Liu Xunyin looked at Yang Shunliang, who was kneeling in the courtyard: "If the young lady wakes up, please also ask the master to agree to her marriage to Yang Gongzi." ”

"What is the relationship between you and that person surnamed Yang?Is my daughter's death single-handedly manipulated!" Lingfeng was so angry that he coughed up a mouthful of blood: "Yun'er has been well-behaved and sensible since she was a child, if it wasn't for someone instigating, how could she have betrayed her family and ended up like this!"

"Master Ling, we don't have such great ability. You might as well wait for the young lady to wake up, and you can ask for clarification yourself. ”

"You think I'm going to be threatened by you?" Ling Feng pulled out his sword and put it on her neck: "If you don't save her, I'll let you bury her now!"

Wen Ember pulled out her sword to protect Liu Xunyin, she held Wen Ember's hand, and said calmly with a fearless face: "Just because you are Miss Lingyun's father, as long as she has a glimmer of life, you will not give up." ”

Ling Feng withdrew the sword from its scabbard and sighed, "Okay, as long as Yun'er can live well, it's easy to say anything." ”

Liu Xunyin walked over and helped Lingyun up and fed the antidote. Then he took out the golden needle in his arms and pierced it into her acupuncture points. Not long after, Lingyun coughed, and spit out a mouthful of blood mixed with medicine residue.

"Daughter!" Ling Feng hurriedly supported Ling Yun: "Why are you so stupid, there is something that can't be discussed well, you have to seek death." ”

"Father......" Lingyun's face was as pale as paper, his forehead was full of beads of sweat, and he said slowly: "Ask my father to fulfill me and Shunliang......"

Lingfeng sighed: "Yun'er, it's also for your good that my father stops this family business." ”

"Master Ling, Yang Shunliang has a deep affection for Miss Lingyun, has a good character, and is worthy of entrusting for life. Liu Xunyin said: "I believe that what Miss Lingyun wants is just someone who treats her sincerely." As long as she can be with Yang Shunliang, even if it is coarse tea and light rice, she will be happy. ”

"Daughter. Ling Feng touched Ling Yun's sideburns: "If he loses you in the future, you will have nothing." ”

"Father, daughter believe that he will never fail me. ”

"That's it......" Ling Feng let out a long sigh and said sharply: "Yang Shunliang, you let me in!"

Yang Shunliang limped in, and the moment he met Lingyun's eyes, both of them were wordlessly red-eyed.

"What are you going to do to raise my daughter?" Ling Feng asked, "She has grown up like stars and moons since she was a child, do you want her to live a hard life with you?"

"Master Ling, I will do my best to make her worry about food and clothing. ”

"It's really self-righteous, you receive that meager amount every month, do you want my daughter to serve by the bedside every day, and drink water and water full?"

"Daddy, even if that's the case, I'm willing. Lingyun grabbed Lingfeng's sleeve tightly.

Ling Feng gently held his daughter's hand and said to Yang Shunliang: "Your father started from scratch with me back then, and he worked hard without merit. After his death, I saw that you and Yun'er fell in love, and I intended to take you to learn to do business, in order to be worthy of her. It's good that you insist on going your own way, you have to enlist in the army, and you end up in the embarrassment you are in now. I ask you, do you regret it?"

"The eldest husband should be loyal to the country, and Shunliang will not regret it. ”

"It's a bit backbone, but I will never let Yun'er suffer with you. ”

"How can Master Ling go back on his word!" Tang Qiqi said angrily. Liu Xunyin pressed her hand to signal calm.

I only heard Lingfeng say again: "Yang Shunliang, if you really want to marry Yun'er, you must have the ability to settle down." Would you like to start from scratch and take over my business?"

"Shun Liang is willing to give it a try. Yang Shunliang kowtowed to him respectfully: "Thank you, father." ”

"Don't call me father just yet. Ling Feng waved his hand: "If you can't do it, you are not qualified to marry my daughter." ”

Seeing that Ling Feng's attitude softened, everyone looked at each other and smiled.

Ruxing sobbed in a low voice on the side, and knelt down on the side of Lingyun's skirt: "Miss, I didn't mean to tell the truth." This matter was done by me alone, and I am not sorry to die, and I ask you to spare Ruyue. ”

"You are here to protect your sister, what is the crime?" Lingyun gently stroked her head: "You have been with me for so many years, what kind of temperament you have, I know very well." Hurry up, I don't blame you. ”

"Miss, I'm sorry. Ruxing sobbed.

"Okay, hurry up, Fang Cai's medicine is very bitter. I want to drink lotus seed soup, would you like to make me a bowl? ”

"I'll go right away. Ruxing wiped away her tears and stood up.

"Miss Lingyun, what kind of medicine did you use after your face was injured? Liu Xunyin sat down next to her and asked.

"I didn't follow the doctor's instructions carefully in order to make the wound deeper. Lingyun stroked his cheeks and smiled bitterly: "It's only become what it is now." ”

"I'll take tribulus terrestris and gardenia together, and make you some scar ointment, you use it to apply to your face at night, wash it off in the morning, maybe you can fade a little, but I'm afraid it's difficult to heal completely. Then Liu Xunyin turned around and said, "Young Master Yang, this scar on Miss Lingyun's face is for you, you can understand what I mean." ”

"I understand that Yang will never lose Yun'er in this life. Yang Shunliang bowed: "Thank you, Miss Liu, thank you." Great kindness, toothless and unforgettable. ”

Wen Ember helped him up and said, "I hope you remember what you said today." ”

Ling Feng got up and said, "Since you have a fate with the little girl, why don't you stay for a few days and leave after attending their wedding banquet?"

"We still have important things to do, so we won't bother. Liu Xunyin saluted and said, "Master Ling, I have heard that you are very well-connected and well-informed, can I ask you about it?"

"Girl, please. ”

"Do you know a person named Liu Qingkong?"

"Are you talking about the senior disciple of Xiao Chumen?" Ling Feng thought as he stroked his beard.

"Exactly. Liu Xunyin said happily: "You know him?"

"I am friends with Master Dumen, when Liu Qingkong disappeared, Lord Dumen once asked me to help pay attention. But I sent my men to look around, but I didn't hear from him. Lingfeng said: "Miss Feiliu is his ......"

"I am his daughter. Liu Xunyin saw that there was no clue, and said gloomily: "Thank you, Master Ling." ”

"Your father has been missing for so many years, and it will be difficult to find him. Ling Feng untied a token from his waist and handed it to her: "This is the warrant of the Sun Palace." You can use it to exchange all the money in my name for a silver ticket. When the people in the rivers and lakes see it, they will also sell my face, and they will not embarrass you. ”

"No need. Liu Xunyin pushed back: "Lingyun and Yang Gongzi can stay together for a long time, which is the best reward for us." Master Ling, we still have to hurry, so we will leave first. ”

"Where are you going next?"

"The Kunlun faction is running for the new leader, let's go and have a good time. Xiao Mu smiled.

"The Kunlun faction has no leader, and the internal fighting is fierce, you must be careful not to get involved. Ling Feng advised: "If there is any trouble, just come to me for help." ”

"Thank you, Master Ling. Liu Xunyin said with a smile.

The four of them said goodbye and went out, and Wen Ember saw that Xiao Mu seemed to have a token on his waist that Lingfeng had just given, so he dragged it over.

"Wen Yan, give it back to me!" Xiao Mu said anxiously.

"When did you stay?"

"It's such a good thing, maybe it will come in handy one day. Xiao Mu took back the token and smiled. Seeing that the two girls had already walked away, they waved and shouted: "Miss Liu, Miss Tang, wait for us!"
