Chapter 12: Boundless Villa
Not far away is the city gate of Tokyo, Ye Jinyi once again glanced at Wei Qingxiao, who was riding a horse parallel to him, with the residual light of his eyes, as if he was thinking. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
After getting the Tianshan Ice Lotus two days ago, he set off to return to Tokyo, and because Wang Shu was injured, he repeatedly told Wang Shu to return to Beijing later.
First, he was afraid of a bumpy road, and he was anxious to go back to save Ren Xiaodu, and Wang Xu's old injuries recurred on the way; second, in order to protect Wang Xu, he, a captain, should not know too much about the things on the rivers and lakes.
Even so, he will not be alone on this trip, because he knows that Wei Qingxiao will definitely walk with him.
It's okay, it just so happens that he also has a lot of doubts and wants to ask Wei Qing to laugh, so he has to have a long talk.
After a while, the two arrived at the fork in the road at the gate of the city, and as soon as the night brocade pulled the reins of the horse, the horse turned right and ran towards the path.
It seems that along the way, Wei Qing smiled a lot less, and more often he was secretly observing Ye Jinyi.
Ye Jinyi had long been accustomed to this kind of inquiry, and the mask on his face more or less made him feel at ease, and he didn't feel uncomfortable.
Crossing the tree-lined boulevard beside the road, the two saw a stone arch erected on the wide, flat road.
The arch is extremely high, the width of which is just across the main road, and in the center of the arch is engraved with four powerful characters: Boundless Villa.
But looking behind the arch, you can't see the edge at a glance, and you can't see the edge.
Not to mention the mountain villa, you can't even see the flowers and trees, only a lot of rocks scattered on the ground, it looks like it is from a wild place that no one visits, and it is extremely desolate and desolate.
Wei Qingxiao was really a little surprised to see the arch, not because of the desolate state of the Pingchuan, but because of the four big characters of "Boundless Villa" on the arch.
Previously, he had been speculating about the identity of Ye Jinyi, until he learned that Wang Shu was the captain of the horse, and he guessed that Ye Jinyi was the son of a high-ranking official in Beijing, and he might be a child of the royal family.
This time, it seems that the origin of the night brocade is bigger than he imagined.
For so many years, Boundless Mountain Villa can be called an outlier in the martial arts, claiming to be both good and evil, and not standing on factions.
But in martial arts, the idea of moderation is not useful, and both sides of good and evil do not stand, that is, both sides stand, so such a position is naturally a little embarrassing.
But Xiao Jie, the director of Wujing Villa, is too smart, not only based on the rivers and lakes, but also the imperial weapon business of Wujing Villa to the imperial court.
In this way, the people in the martial arts will not touch the Boundless Villa because they are afraid of the power of the imperial court, and the people in the court will not touch the Boundless Villa because they are afraid of the factions of the martial arts.
In the bloody rivers and lakes and the turbulent court, he can still protect himself steadily and even win the admiration of a vote, Ren Xiaodu's decision is indeed powerful and strategic.
At this time, Wei Qing smiled and thought about Ye Jinyi's clean but slightly evil temperament, which was reasonable. So he sat on the horse and waited calmly for the night brocade to untie the formation.
It's just that the scene behind this arch is too weird, it's not a formation set up by the Boundless Mountain Villa to prevent outsiders from invading, what is it.
"It's me. Who knew that Ye Jinyi didn't plan to untie the formation by himself at all, but just shouted two words at the back of the arch, waiting for the secret guards guarding the formation.
The formation at the entrance of a mountain villa is an extremely important barrier for the mountain villa to defend against foreign enemies, allowing him to break the formation by himself in front of Wei Qing's smile.
Joke, isn't that tantamount to exposing one's life in front of others and waiting to be stabbed?
Sure enough, as soon as Ye Jinyi's voice sounded, the four big characters on the arch glowed with a faint blue light, enveloping the entire arch and obscuring their vision behind the arch. The faint blue light was so intense for a moment that it made people unable to open their eyes.
When Wei Qingxiao was a little used to the light and opened his eyes, he saw that the faint blue light had faded, and there were two white-clothed protectors standing under the arch.
Looking back, behind the empty grassland of more than ten zhang, a huge mansion is located there, backed by the green mountains, and the waterfall that can faintly slope down the green hills, which looks solemn and mysterious.
"Greetings to the young owner. When the two white-clothed protectors saw Ye Jinyi, they were still standing straight, and they all spoke respectfully.
Rao is Wei Qing smiled deeply, and he didn't expect the identity of Ye Jinyi.
He thought that Ye Jinyi was at most an exceptionally outstanding young man in the village or an apprentice of the owner.
Now, he was really surprised.
However, for so many years, he had never heard that there was a young owner in the Boundless Mountain Villa.
Only the rivers and lakes rumored that Ren Xiaodu's only son was stolen by thieves when he was still an infant, and now he has only one nephew, but he is a scholar, studying in the country, not practicing martial arts, and not asking about the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
Now, where did this young farmer come from?
Ye Jinyi knew what kind of doubts Wei Qingxiao had in his heart, but he didn't have much time to explain.
So as soon as the gate opened, he rode his horse towards the villa without stopping.
As soon as he arrived at the gate of the village, he jumped off his horse, picked up the wooden box that he had given himself when he heard the snow falling, and hurriedly stepped towards the village, and when he entered, he did not forget to tell the guard at the door: "Entertain guests for me." ā
The guards were still wondering, where did this guest come from, and in the blink of an eye, he saw a red-robed boy riding a horse from the place of the formation gate, as if he was chasing the night brocade.
"Childe, please go to the side hall to rest first. Seeing Wei Qing laughing and falling off the horse, the guard immediately went up to help hold the reins of the horse, and asked Wei Qingxiao to go to the side hall to wait for him first according to Ye Jinyi's instructions.
Wei Qingxiao knew that Ye Jinyi's trip to Luoyang was to take the Tianshan Ice Lotus to save Ren Xiaodu, and he must be in a hurry to save his father when he came back this time, which is understandable to him, Baishan filial piety comes first, and there is indeed nothing more important than saving his father.
Therefore, he followed the guards into the Boundless Villa, and did not feel that it was inappropriate.
Not long after entering the door, Wei Qingxiao and the guards happened to bump into Ren Ziyu.
At that time, Ren Ziyu was helping a woman in her forties to walk to the side garden, and when she saw a stranger suddenly coming to the villa, Ren Ziyu helped the woman to stop.
When the two of them arrived in front of them, he quietly looked at Wei Qing and smiled as if unintentionally, and said softly: "Who is this?"
"Second son, this is the guest of the young owner. The guard replied.
Wei Qingxiao also raised his eyes and looked at Ren Ziyu carefully, his appearance was handsome, his demeanor was dignified and elegant, thinking that it was Ren Xiaodu's nephew, so he gently arched his hand and said: "Under Wei Qingxiao, I bothered you." ā
"Jinyi is back?" Yu Ning, the woman who had been carefully supported by Ren Ziyu and was silent, heard the guard's words, and suddenly took a step forward and stared at the guard to ask, seemingly very concerned about Ye Jinyi's appearance.
"The young owner has just arrived, and I went to find Mr. Crane. The guard replied.
Ren Ziyu saw that Yu Ning's face was full of worry, raised his hand and patted Yu Ning's back gently, and said with relief: "Since the eldest brother is back, it will definitely be fine, Aunt Ning, don't worry." ā
"Didn't this kid come back with an injury? ā
Wei Qing smiled and looked at Yu Ning's worried appearance of Ye Jinyi, but his heart was sour, and he was a little envious of Ye Jinyi for a moment.
And he Wei Qing smiled, all the way, alone, and the wounds in his heart were not given by his closest relatives.
Ren Ziyu saw that Wei Qing's face was a little wrong, and thought that he was annoyed, so he smiled and comforted Yu Ning: "If the eldest brother sees Aunt Ning crying for a while, he will scold me for not taking good care of Aunt Ning." Besides, there are still guests. ā
When Yu Ning heard this, he calmed down, and then looked at Wei Qing with a smile and said apologetically: "Look at me, I'm old, and I'm making guests laugh." ā
Wei Qing smiled and shook his head, as if he was negating Yu Ning's words, and by the way, he was also comforting Yu Ning.
"The guest will rest for a while, and it's time for Aunt Ning to take the medicine. Ren Ziyu saw that the time was not early, and it was inconvenient to talk more here, so he raised his hand to say goodbye to Wei Qing with a smile first, and helped Yu Ning to go to the side garden.
