Chapter 4: The Bitter Wind and Rain (Part II)
After nightfall, the streets and alleys of Jinling City, where the streets close to the Fengyue place are still cars like flowing water and horses like dragons, silver lights are shining, candle shadows are shaking red, silk and bamboo orchestras, singing voices are loud, such as fairy music outside the sky, dancing postures, like fairy trees in the moon, ten miles of Qinhuai, beads are surrounded by green, it is nothing less than a fairyland in the world, even if it is more and more rapid rain curtains, it can not stop the heart of looking for flowers and asking willows. But in the place where the people are behind or in the alley, it is dark and desolate, and occasionally there are one or two lights hanging in front of the door, which are gradually extinguished in the night rain, and the stars and moon are dark, and occasionally a figure floats by, like a ghost. Prosperity and desolation are accompanied by each other in Jinling City, entangled with each other, forming a confusing contradictory picture.
Yang Ning walked alone in the dark, subconsciously avoiding the lights, letting the rain drip down his clothes, as if only in this way could he relieve the pain in his heart, at such a time, he couldn't wait to be able to lean on his mother's knees and cry, even if he had to be punished by his mother afterwards, he was willing, but his mother didn't know where, he didn't know whether the bones of his mother were in the tomb of the Holy Martyr Emperor and Concubine standing in Luoyang, and he didn't know where his mother and master were if they didn't die, why they left themselves alone in the world, and let themselves suffer the pain of fratricideγ Only feeling that he was completely overwhelmed by the boundless loneliness, Yang Ning's footsteps faltered, and he suddenly vomited out a mouthful of blood, which was blue and black under the faint light in the rain curtain at the entrance of the alley.
Yang Ning was shocked in his heart, and then he knew that Fang Cai's heart was not just stimulated by Yang Jun's actions, but most likely because of the trauma in the meridians and the turbulence of his true qi, so he could not suppress the pain in his heart as usual. Knowing this, Yang Ning hurriedly retreated to the depths of the alley, closed his eyes and adjusted his luck, and after repeatedly exploring the eight veins of the Qi Sutra, he found that a wisp of cold breath was entangled in his lungs at some point, and the Heding Red Poison, which was originally suppressed by him and was ready to be used to sharpen his true qi, was about to move. Although Yang Ning didn't know much about the way of Qihuang, he also knew the severity of the situation at the moment. didn't care about being in the dark alley, so he hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground, concentrating on luck and detoxification.
I don't know why, this wisp of yin poison can't be entangled, and after coming into contact with the true qi, the internal force actually shows signs of shaking, and the crane top red, which was originally regarded as ordinary, actually took the opportunity to become arrogant, Yang Ning felt a chill in his heart, knowing that he was really too reckless this time, just because he ignored the poison of the crane top red, he was able to drink it. At this moment, he remembered what his former master had said, the so-called inviolability of poison is only because the body has been tempered by poison, and can withstand the medicinal properties of severe poison, and expel it before the poison really takes effect, or dissolve it in the meridians. So if it is some kind of special medicine, at most it is just more resistant, just like the sleeping incense that Yang Jun added to the sandalwood, or, there is also the yin poison in the body at this moment, I don't know if Yang Jun said "lingering", this is really a strange poison to dissolve the true qi, if the poison in the wine at that time was "lingering", he may really be useless in martial arts. The heart flashed, remembering that Yang Jun once said that someone had changed the poisonous wine, and now it seems that most of them have left a trace of "lingering" in the wine, because of this, he ignored the existence of this wisp of poison, if it were not for his own agitation, he might not have realized that for a long time, his true yuan must have been destroyed by this poison, and his heart was both happy and sad, Yang Ning finally calmed down, used the secret method of turtle breath, and began to detoxify with concentration.
Time gradually passed, the deeper the night, the colder the wind, I don't know when, it was already a frost, the rain began to appear in the scattered snowflakes, the rain and snow in the clouds, the fog gradually rose, a few feet away has been unable to see the figure clearly, this day is almost no one to walk in the alley is not even a mouse. Yang Ning is here to use his skills to drive away poison, naturally he has no scruples, but his clothes have been soaked by rain and snow, he is in a state of turtle breathing, and his body temperature is almost imperceptible, and the snowflakes that originally melted into the water refused to dissolve in his sideburns.
At this moment, there was a small sedan chair with green felt on the street connected to the alley, four black-clothed sedan chairmen carried the sedan chair, wearing a rain hat on their heads, although the steps were calm, but the journey was extremely fast, not long to have walked to the alley, on both sides of the sedan chair, there was a white-clothed scholar to follow, these two teenagers were fifteen or sixteen years old, but they were born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, smart and exposed, each with a Hunan concubine bamboo umbrella in his hand, walking in the rain, like a golden boy. And in front of the guide is a man in black, burly, neither an umbrella, nor a hat, the rain soaked through the clothes, sticking to the body, outlining a strong and handsome figure, but if someone looks at the man's face, most people will gasp, only to see that the man has an ugly centipede-like scar on his left cheek, almost ruining his appearance, and a pair of eyes are even cruel and cold like a wolf in the wilderness, which makes people frightened at first sight. Such a character, who is not a bandit but also a killer, actually appeared on the streets of Jinling in a grand manner, which is really incredible.
Walking to the entrance of the alley, the man in black suddenly stopped, looked at the alley with blazing eyes, and did not need his orders, the sedan chair behind him and the two young scholars stopped, and the two teenagers were one left and one right, and the four sedan chair men put on a ** formation to protect the sedan chair in it. The man in black hesitated for a moment, waved his hand to continue walking, and then a gentle voice floated out of the sedan chair and said, "Escort Qiu, what happened?"
The man in black turned around and said: "Sir, when I passed through the alley, I suddenly smelled a strange smell inside, suspecting that someone was peeping and preparing to assassinate Mr., but after I stopped, I found that the smell was fleeting, and I listened carefully, except for the wind and rain and there was no sound of breathing, so I must have made a mistake, maybe I was worried about the safety of Mr. β
The people in the sedan chair were silent for a moment, and said lightly: "Qiu Escort out of the frontier, has been with the wolves for many years, the five senses are not inferior to the wolf king, I heard that Qiu Escort can smell the slightest smell of the human body outside the hundred zhang, I don't think Qiu Escort is too careful, maybe there are really people in the alley, at such a time, if there are really people in the wind and rain, there must be a reason, things are abnormal that is the demon, I am in the tiger's den, how can I ignore it, bother Brother Qiu to go in and see, but be careful, beware of accidents." β
The man in black groaned slightly, and then said solemnly: "Subordinates obey orders, please be careful with your plot." β
After that, he pulled out the double hook on his back, clenched his hands, and slowly walked into the alley, where he was cautious, it was like entering the tiger's den in Longtan, this alley was only a hundred feet deep, but for a moment, he had already walked to the middle of the alley, his eyes flashed, and he had seen the young man in Tsing Yi sitting cross-legged in the wind and rain. He stopped, a look of horror flashed in his eyes, and although he was only a few feet away from the young man, he could not feel the young man's breathing or heartbeat, and he could not even smell a trace of the smell, which made him suspect that he seemed to have run into a ghost. However, the man in black had never believed in ghosts and gods, so he looked at the young man carefully after a little determination in his heart, and suddenly, a wisp of peculiar smell passed in front of his nose, and his heart moved, and he already understood that this young man was probably driving away poison, and what he smelled was clearly the smell of highly poisonous crane top red. Then this young man is not a corpse, but most of his skills are profound, not only his breathing and heartbeat are imperceptible, but even the smell of his body is also restrained, such martial arts can be described as shocking. The man in black quickly compared the handsome young man in front of him with the characters he knew, and suddenly had an unbelievable thought in his heart, the Demon Emperor would appear in such an alley, and he was poisoned, and his eyes couldn't help but widen.
The man in black guessed the true identity of this handsome young man, and felt embarrassed for a while, he was Qiu Sheng, the master of the Youji Yanshan Weitian Group, and he was the master of the Huofeng County Lord who personally received it in the past, but unlike Ximen Rin and Ling Chong, his strength lies in the tracking and concealment skills that he has practiced for many years, so he almost trains secret agents and rebukes in the Yanwutang all year round, and he rarely cares about other things, unless the Huofeng County Lord reappears, his loyalty will only be given to the person who controls Yanshan Wei, whether that person is Luo Chengyu or someone else. Before leaving Youji, Wu Cheng had already told him that the Demon Emperor was the son and son of the Lord of Huofeng County, and asked him what his choice would be if Yang Ning and Luo Chengyu competed, after thinking about it, his choice was to be a bystander, neither wanting to help Luo Chengyu suppress or even hurt Yang Ning, nor wanting to help Yang Ning resist Luo Chengyu, perhaps it was because of his attitude that Wu Cheng's most trusted person in Yanshan Wei had always been Qiu Sheng, and this time he took him south.
But the original plan was completely useless when Yang Ning appeared in front of him, no matter what, it was impossible for him to watch this young man struggling in the wind and rain, but if he wanted to help save him, thinking of Wu Cheng who was waiting for him to reply in the sedan chair, he hesitated again, although Wu Cheng trusted him, but it did not mean that Wu Cheng would treat Yang Ning and Luo Chengyu fairly, no matter what, Wu Cheng was Luo Chengyu's husband, and he was the pavilion master of Fengtai Pavilion, if he wanted to share the worries of the lord and take advantage of the danger of others, what should he do? Whether to watch from the sidelines, or to make a move, no matter what, Yang Ning's identity cannot be revealed, this is the promise he made in front of Wu Cheng, in this way, even if he wants to stop it, he will be treated as a rebel, this is not a situation he wants to see.
While Qiu Sheng was meditating, a silver bell suddenly sounded outside the alley, and the bell on a rainy night broke his bowels and added a bit of sadness. Qiu Sheng's body shook slightly, knowing that this was Wu Cheng's message with a bell, asking about his safety, sighed lightly, reached out to his waist, took out a string of silver bells, shook them a few times, and used rhythmic bells to convey his safety and the message that he was welcome. Whether it is life or death, you can only watch the creation of the young man, he will not interfere, this does not meet the criteria of the jungle in the desert.
After passing the news, Qiu Sheng stretched out his hand to probe Yang Ning's internal breath, he knew that some people could not be disturbed when they were doing their work, but he also knew Yang Ning's origin, no matter what, he didn't believe that Yang Ning, who was the Demon Emperor, would put his safety in the face of heaven, so he should be fine if he touched his body, but he had to be careful of being counterattacked. Although he had already been mentally prepared, the moment he touched Yang Ning's body, a blue light suddenly flashed in front of him, and a cyan rainbow seemed to light up in the cold rain in the middle of the night.
Qiu Sheng looked down, only to see Yang Ning slowly raising his head, looking at each other, Qiu Sheng's heart was shocked, only to feel that the beautiful young man's eyes were like a blend of ice and fire, but they were cold and deep, and he couldn't see a trace of human emotions, Yang Ning at this time was not so much a person, but a ruthless and loveless demon god. And with Yang Ning's action of raising his head, a wisp of black blood was slowly flowing from his lips, but Yang Ning was unconscious, his body was like a strong bow with a string tightened, and the thin blade of the sword clenched in his left hand was stained with rain, but it could not detract from the sword light like a green lotus.
Qiu Sheng knew that he was still reckless, although he had the idea of retreating in his heart, but he didn't dare to move his steps, just because now he felt like a frog stared at by a poisonous snake, and he was shocked by the murderous aura of his opponent, and he didn't even dare to move a finger easily. He knew in his heart that Yang Ning was probably not fully awake at this moment, but he was just confronting himself with his instinctive reaction, otherwise he was afraid that he would have already taken advantage of the situation to attack, such a narrow alley was really not a battlefield that Qiu Sheng was good at, if Yang Ning fought back, I was afraid that he would not be able to support it for long at all. But even so, Qiu Sheng would rather face a sober and terrifying opponent than the delirious young man in front of him, just because he had no way to explain to Yang Ning in front of him that he had no malicious intent, I am afraid that as long as he moves a little now, it will be the result of endless death. Unconsciously, drops of cold sweat rolled down Qiu Sheng's forehead, and the helplessness in his heart became thicker and thicker, but there was nothing he could do.
Just when the two of them were tense, from outside the alley suddenly floated into the staggered bells, the bells were strong and sometimes weak, if there was a melody, listening to the ears only felt that a heart was fluctuating with the bell, Qiu Sheng's heart moved, he had heard that the master of Fengtai Pavilion had a unique art "Soul Bell", which could use the bell to confuse his senses, but he had never seen it with his own eyes over the years, presumably at this moment Wu Cheng had discovered the inappropriateness in the alley, and was using the most simple means to subdue the two together. Qiu Sheng sighed in his heart, now he didn't even have the possibility of protecting the young man in front of him, closed his eyes slightly, and had no intention of resisting. In the fog, he only felt that the bell was intermittent, tactfully low, and it seemed to be getting farther and farther away, and unconsciously, Qiu Sheng let go of his hands, and the silver hook fell to the ground, falling into a deep sleep.
Under the hypnosis of the ringtone, Yang Ning gradually closed his eyes, and the only remaining mind could feel comfort and kindness from the continuous ringing, and subconsciously curled up his body, which was the most safe posture for him, but before closing his eyes, three figures were reflected on the godless eyes that were dragged by the lights at the entrance of the alley.
Wu Cheng slowly walked into the alley, there was no light of stars and moon in the alley, and the rainwater that could not be discharged in time had become a stream, and it would be very difficult for a clear-eyed person to walk in it, but although his eyes were no longer visible, he was walking on the ground in the dark alley. However, the two white-clothed young men beside him were walking with difficulty, one of these two teenagers was holding an umbrella to shield Wu Cheng from the wind and rain, and the other was carrying a lantern, and they had already changed their rain hats. Even so, it was only a short distance, and the lower half of the two teenagers' bodies were almost completely soaked, although they didn't complain, they looked unwilling. However, although Wu Cheng's shoes and socks were also stained with water, his clothes were still dry, but he had a relaxed smile on his face, and there was no sense of annoyance.
Walking to the two people who fell in the rain, the white-clothed young man with a lantern clearly explained the situation in front of him, Wu Cheng nodded lightly while listening, as if he had an understanding, listened for a while, took a silver needle, and stabbed a few acupoints on Qiu Sheng's body.
With a low moan, Qiu Sheng came to his senses, and was not surprised to see Wu Cheng's elegant face and those dim black eyes, he poured out a thank you, got up and picked up the double hook, and said, "Sir, I don't know what to do with Zijing Gongzi?"
Wu Cheng smiled slightly, and said: "Although Prince Zijing is not a part of Youji, but he and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World are familiar at first sight, although there were some misunderstandings with the letter in the past, but now they have all disappeared, and His Royal Highness also has orders, we are not allowed to be enemies with Prince Zijing again, since each other is not enemies, they are friends, friends are in trouble, how can this seat stand by and watch." As he spoke, he reached out to probe Yang Ning's wrist vein, and after touching Yang Ning's cold skin, both of them trembled slightly. Wu Cheng is because his tentacles are cold, but Yang Ning is the instinct of self-defense.
After hurriedly checking Yang Ning's condition, Wu Cheng said thoughtfully: "Zijing Gongzi has been poisoned, but now the poison has been dispersed, this is also a coincidence, he breathes in the rain, although his body is frozen, but this rain is the best medium, it can wash away the poison he disperses, so that there will be no residual poison left on his body, and now he is using the secret method to regulate the blood, and it will take about two or three hours to completely wake up." But since I met him, I can't let him suffer these hardships, if he suffers from the cold, I am afraid that he will inevitably leave some troubles. Well, take him back in my palanquin, wait for me to give me an injection, prescribe some medicine, and let him sleep well, and he will be fully recovered. β
Qiu Sheng's heart was relieved, and he said in a low voice: "Mr. is merciful, his subordinates are respectful, let his subordinates carry him to the sedan chair." β
Wu Cheng shook his head and said: "No need, I finally used the soul deterrent bell to close his knowledge, your murderous aura is too heavy, I'm afraid of disturbing him, so let me come." β
After that, Wu Cheng stepped forward and reached out to pick up Yang Ning, untied the big coat casually, wrapped Yang Ning's soaked body, the two bodies touched, only felt that the young man's body was quite thin, thinking of this young man's life experience, Wu Cheng couldn't help but sigh slightly, turned around and walked outside the alley.
Although Knowledge was sealed, Yang Ning's Knowledge still maintained a certain degree of awareness, but although he could sense some of the things happening around him, it was not enough for him to wake up. In a blur, he felt that someone had wrapped himself in something like a cloak, and after a long and steady journey, he was taken to a warm room, where he was served to bathe and change his clothes, and then someone pierced his acupuncture points with needles to help him recover his qi and blood, and forced out the last bit of residual toxin, and then, with an extra porcelain bowl on the side of his mouth, someone poured hot medicinal soup into his stomach. Then his consciousness began to slowly dissipate, and he felt an inexplicable comfort, wrapped in a warm brocade quilt, and a melody came from his ears, as if it was the sound of Sister Luqi's piano to put herself to sleep. Of course, during this period, Yang Ning did not think about guarding against resistance, but whenever his mind was shaken, there was always a warm voice whispering in his ears, and a warm hand wiped off the sweat for himself from time to time, testing the temperature of his forehead, or letting himself hold his hand, feeling unprecedented peace, Yang Ning unconsciously retracted the sharp thorns on his body, and fell asleep in the sound of the piano in tranquility.
Under the candlelight, looking at Yang Ning's peaceful sleeping face, Qiu Sheng finally breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Wu Cheng who was playing the qin, and felt inexplicable admiration in his heart, and said in a low voice: "Sir, you are also tired for a night, do you want to go and rest earlier, now that Zijing Gongzi is fine, I will just stay aside." β
Wu Cheng stopped his hands and said with a smile: "I can't rest now, you and I should know how Zi Jing's martial arts are, he will be poisoned and fall in the alley, shouldn't we find out about this matter?" In any case, Zi Jing is a friend of His Highness, if we don't help him, His Highness will blame him in the future, won't we have nothing to say." β
Although his words were gentle, Qiu Sheng could feel a faint warning, knowing that Wu Cheng was hinting that he should not behave excessively because of Zijing's identity, he sighed lightly in his heart, and said: "Yes, my subordinates will go to find out, but Mr. It's better to go and rest, if you are worried that Zijing Gongzi will be suspicious after waking up, you might as well let Hua Wuxue or Shanjun guard here." β
Wu Cheng smiled slightly, his dim eyes glowed with a little brilliance under the flickering light, stood up, walked out with the help of the scholar, and said: "Although we want to investigate, we can't alarm others, and besides, didn't we get the news that Zijing Gongzi separated from Miss Jian Jue Yin after receiving a few posts, I haven't seen anyone for so long, I'm afraid that Miss Qingping will also be worried, send someone to inform you." β
Although Qiu Sheng knew that Wu Cheng was thoughtful, but he could still think of a woman in such a treacherous situation, he couldn't help but admire it, and he promised it at the moment. As soon as he walked to the door, a whisper sounded in his ears, and when he looked back, it was Yang Ning's face with sadness, and he whispered the words "mother, third brother" and so on. Qiu Sheng's heart tightened, and he subconsciously looked at Wu Cheng, only to see a look of understanding appear on Wu Cheng's handsome face, and then showed a wry smile, and said lightly: "There is no need to investigate this matter, I think the answer is already very clear." β
When Yang Ning was immersed in sleep, there were also people on the other side of Jinling City who were thinking about him.
Because of this storm, the collection of treasures that was supposed to last until midnight ended at the end of the unitary hour, but the Canghai Hall of Wanbao Zhai was still brightly lit, and there were four or five people with different expressions sitting in the empty hall that was supposed to be empty. At a round table near the door, a girl in red stared at the open hall door in a daze, silent, a pair of bright phoenix eyes seemed to see through the endless rain and fog, I don't know when, the slender hand holding the hilt of the sword has revealed a faint cyan tendon, as if there is a nameless flame pouring out of this girl's body, burning up the cold air and fog floating in from outside the door. Behind the other table, there was a young man in a blue shirt, handsome and sparse, and sitting with him was a middle-aged man with a mediocre appearance, with a little impatience and confusion in his expression.
In the distance, there was the shouting of the husband, it was already the third watch, and the sound was more and more desolate in the night rain, which made people feel cold from the bottom of their hearts, and the delicate body of the girl in red seemed to begin to tremble, and the young man in blue shirt saw it at a glance, only felt a pain in his heart, and finally couldn't help but step forward again: "Miss Qingping, presumably the emperor has something to do, and he may not come to the appointment, the night is cold and rainy, the young lady might as well go to the Yu's Jinling Courtyard to rest for the time being, and wait until tomorrow when the rain is over and the sky is clear, and the whereabouts of the emperor will definitely be found." And after all, this Canghai Hall is the place of Wanbao Zhai, and the young lady is waiting here, but I am afraid that it will be difficult for others. β
Qingping glanced at the young man in blue coldly, and said coldly: "Yu Gongzi, you and I used to have a relationship on the river, so Qingping treats you as a friend, I am waiting for Zijing here, it is my business with him, whether he breaches the contract or not, it has nothing to do with you, I understand your kindness, since I feel impatient, Childe is self-conscious, as for Wanbao Zhai's willingness to let me wait here, this is also my business with Wanbao Zhai, at most I will wait outside, Childe will not have to bother." β
The young man in blue smiled bitterly when he heard this, he was the young master of the Yu family in Southern Fujian, Yu Xiufu, when he was in Southern Fujian, his status was as noble as a prince, even if he arrived in the Central Plains of the south of the Yangtze River, everyone looked at it differently, and what was even more rare was that he was not only both civil and military, he could be called the pillar of the Yu family's suzerain, and his temperament was open-minded and sparse, so it was best to make friends, so although he was remote in southern Xinjiang, he had the nickname of Xiao Meng, and everywhere he passed, he was respected, but he was so happy that he was reluctant to leave, thinking of this, he himself couldn't help but smile bitterlyγ
Yu Xiufu is also curious like others today, waiting near Fengtai to see the Demon Emperor's description, not really believing the rumors, but suspecting that the Demon Emperor is the young man he saw in Peng Ze in the past, so he just wants to see the person he will never forget. That day, after Peng Ze refused Liu Tiandiao's gambling offer, he hurriedly left the land of right and wrong, and soon after, he learned about Peng Ze's tragedy, of course, at that time he had already seen Yang Ning and Qingping on the way. At that time, he didn't know that the ordinary young man was the famous Demon Emperor, and the girl who used the disguise technique to cover up her true face was the sword peerless Yin Qingping who dared to challenge the disciples of Cuihu, but the Tao Xun played by Qingping moved him, it was obviously a sad and desolate music, but it was full of bright hope, and every bit could almost penetrate people's hearts, and he knew people when he heard the sound, and at that moment he was moved by the girl who looked across the water. The news that came after him gradually made him guess the girl's true identity, which made him undecided. In the rumors, the Demon Emperor and the Sword Jue sister and brother are commensurate, but there is no blood relationship between the young men and women, the Sword Jue did his best to help the Demon Emperor in Chibi, and the Demon Emperor is also obedient to the Sword Jue, if he said that there is no personal relationship between children and daughters, I am afraid that no one will believe it, not to mention that I saw the young man and woman leaning on each other that day, didn't I also have such doubts? It's just that at that time, he could muster up the courage to fight for an ordinary girl, but at this moment it was difficult for him to pursue the Demon Emperor's lover, the disciple of Mr. Qingjue - Jian Jue Yin Qingping.
But the originally forcibly suppressed affection broke out again tonight, when he saw Qingping appear alone at the treasure fair, his eyes did not stop for a moment on those so-called rare treasures, and when Qingping anxiously waited for Yang Ning to appear, the shackles in his heart were loosened, so he deliberately stayed to accompany Qingping, but Qingping still perfunctory a few words at the beginning, after the dead of night, Yang Ning was nowhere to be seen, her attitude became very anxious, and she was not willing to say a word to him at all, which disappointed him very much.
Because of Qingping's cold words, the air in the Canghai Hall became very embarrassing, and when Yu Xiufu wanted to try to change the atmosphere, a thin middle-aged man walked into the hall with a smile, and saluted the three of them with his fists as he walked: "Hehe, rude and rude, Wan Mou has something to delay, I don't know that Yu Gongzi and Miss Qingping are here, the two of them have been waiting here for a long time, but there is something omission in Wanbao Zhai that makes the two distinguished guests want to ask the chief manager for the crime?"
Yu Xiufu smiled slightly bitterly, he knew that this Wan Wan Wan was the best at hiding a knife in his smile and stealing beams and changing pillars, so he didn't dare to slack off, got up and saluted and said: "Wan Guan is serious, who doesn't know the reputation of Wan Bao Zhai, Yu is just accompanying Miss Qingping here and waiting for someone, if there is any offense, Yu will be a picture in the future, and please ask the manager to make a convenience." Since Wanbao Zhai is selling the world's treasures, the Yu family, who is in Nanfu and has a lot of trade with Nanyang, is one of its big customers, so the weight of Yu Xiufu's commitment does not need to be said.
To Yu Xiufu's surprise, Wan Han did not accept this exchange condition as a difficulty, but smiled at Qingping with a cold expression: "It turns out that Miss Qingping is waiting for the emperor here, since Miss Qingping is my guest of Wanbao Zhai, let alone using the Canghai Hall, even if she has lived in Wanbao Zhai for a year and a half, Wan Mou is also willing, how dare you let Yu Gongzi bother?" If you tell the emperor in the future, our Wanbao Zhai asked the young lady to wait in this cold hall for so long, I am afraid that Wan's life will be in the hands of the emperor. It's better to do this, Miss Qingping might as well go to the guest room to rest for a while, Wan Mou will send someone to inquire about the news of the emperor, and if there is anything, he will definitely come to tell him. β
Hearing Wan Han's voice, Qingping came to her senses, and she knew in her heart that Wan Yan was most likely because of Yi Buping's request to come over to take care of herself, without herself and Yang Ning disturbing her vision, and she didn't know that the operation that was originally planned to transport the treasures to Jiangnan tonight did not go smoothly. But she really can't take care of these things, tonight's hard waiting reminds her of the past in Qixingwu, at that time she was also waiting for Zijing to come back safely, but she was worried about everything, always thinking that life would go on smoothly, but what she didn't expect was the news that Zijing was seriously injured and missing, the nightmare of the past was like a cold night with rain and snow, making her like falling into an ice cave, if Zijing couldn't return safely, what should she do? I don't know when, such a lonely and dazed teenager has become an unbearable concern in her heart, she really doesn't know how lonely and desolate she will be in this life if she and Zijing can never see each other again.
After a long time, she said with difficulty: "Manager Wan, I heard my sister say, Wanbao Zhai tree has deep roots and lush branches, no matter where it is, it is a force that cannot be underestimated, especially in this Jinling City, where your head office is located, it must be even more hands and eyes, our sister and brother are not familiar with life, and their eyes are blank. β
A strange look flashed in Wan Han's eyes, and he said solemnly: "To be able to get the praise of Dongting, Wan Mou is ashamed, Wan Mou is just a subordinate next to the lord, where is there any ability, but since Miss Qingping has this trust, before tomorrow morning, no matter what, Wan Mou will definitely have news, but now Miss should go to the guest room to rest for a while." If something really happened to the emperor, if the young lady couldn't maintain the best condition, how could she do her best for the emperor?"
Qingping's expression moved slightly when she heard this, and she was about to agree, but she heard hurried footsteps outside, and a man from Wanbaozhai ran in and said in a loud voice: "Chief, chief, the Shanjunshan guard of Yanshanwei asks to see Miss Qingping." β
Hearing this, everyone's expressions changed slightly, and a ray of light flashed in Qingping's eyes, holding the hilt of the sword tightly, she said sharply: "Please let him in." β
The guy peeked at Wan Han, Wan Han nodded slightly, the guy turned around and went out, and after a while, he had already brought a young man in black in, this young man was handsome, playing with a folding fan in his hand, and he looked very elegant and graceful.
Seeing Qingping, he bowed down and said lightly: "Shanjun meets Miss Qingping, Liyang is goodbye, Miss is still the same, but Shanjun is already haggard." β
Qingping smiled with difficulty and said, "It turned out to be the mountain guard, Qingping deceived the mountain guard that day and took the opportunity to escape, if there is any offense, please forgive the mountain guard." β
Shan Jun said with a smile: "Miss Qi plotted to escape, but she was punished in the demotion, needless to say, Shan came this time on the order of Mr. Wu to greet Miss Qingping, and there is one more thing, that is, Zijing Gongzi is resting under my husband, please rest assured, before noon tomorrow, Zijing Gongzi will come to meet Miss." β
Hearing this, Qingping only felt that the whole person was relaxed, if it was a few days ago, she would probably suspect that Zijing had been victimized by Youji, but after meeting with Lian Wuji, she had already faintly believed in Luo Chengyu's sincerity, even if it wasn't, it seemed better to fall into the hands of Youji than in the hands of others. couldn't help but show a smile, she said with relief: "I see, that's good, you tell Zijing, I'm waiting for him in Wanbaozhai, he broke the appointment again, if you come back tomorrow, you must bring some gifts to apologize." β
Shan Jun's eyes flashed, and there was admiration in his heart, he naturally knew that the reason why Qingping did not ask to go back to see Zijing with him must be because she was worried that she would be deceived and fall into the hands of others, and instead become a hostage that threatened Zijing, so she held back the desire in her heart to stay in Wanbao Zhai. Such a smart and resolute woman, no wonder she can get the blue eyes of the Demon Emperor. Thinking of the slender woman in the Xindu County Lord's Mansion who is like a white lotus out of the water, Dongting is a double master, and it is indeed a rare strange woman, and the resentment that he was belittled because of the schemes of these two women seems to have disappeared unconsciously.
