Chapter 39: Hope
To be honest, Ye Pei was still a little surprised when she heard this.
Zi Qingrong said this as soon as he entered the door, but after speaking, he found that Ye Pei was not in the room. "Eh, what about people?"
Ye Pei was meditating on the roof at this time, running the method described in the unknown pit booklet. Hearing this, Ye Pei shook her head with a smile, turned over and entered the house through the window.
"Where have you been?" I thought......
"Let's leave without telling your father, right?" Ye Pei said with a smile.
"Ah," Zi Qingrong was a little surprised, "Did you hear it......?"
Ye Pei said: "I was originally on the roof to recuperate from internal injuries. β
Ziqingrong said suspiciously: "Why do you want to go to the room to recuperate from internal injuries...... Hey, what do you think? Pack up our things and we'll leave late at night. β
Ye Pei smiled even more and said, "You just came back a few days ago, and you are not at home to accompany your parents?"
Zi Qingrong waved his hand and said, "Oh, I haven't left much since I was a child, and it won't take long to go to the Holy Sacrifice Mountain now." β
Ye Pei couldn't help but shake her head again, and said with a smile: "I thought you were a quiet girl who read poetry and books." β
Zi Qingrong smiled slyly and said, "Then you think too much." β
Ye Pei thought for a moment and said, "But I think what your father said makes sense." β
Zi Qingrong sat down and poured himself a cup of tea, took a sip and felt a little hot, stuck out his tongue, looked at Ye Pei again, and said, "You will protect me, right?"
"Of course. β
"You can protect me, right?"
"That's nature. "Whether it's a heads-up or a group fight, Ye Pei is really not afraid of anyone.
Zi Qingrong smiled: "Then what else is there to say, just go, there are not so many things." β
Ye Pei looked at this girl's cute appearance, couldn't help but smile dumbly, and replied, "Okay, let's leave at night." β
"Haha, I knew you would agree!" Zi Qingrong stood up and clapped his hands and walked out, "Then I'll go pack my things." β
It's just that the Zijia family is the lord's mansion, and there are people guarding the gates everywhere twenty-four hours a day, even at night, it is not so easy to sneak away. So after a while, Zi Qingrong came to Ye Pei again to discuss the way and route to go.
Seeing that the time had passed, Ye Pei took the book into her arms, grabbed the window edge and quietly went to the roof, and then jumped on the roof several times before arriving at Ziqingrong's boudoir.
Zi Qingrong's residence is a second-floor building, and there are guards from the Lord's Mansion not far from the main entrance on the first floor, so Ye Pei jumped from the roof to the ground behind the house, and Zi Qingrong was already waiting at the window on the second floor.
Seeing Ye Pei arrive as promised, Zi Qingrong suddenly had a smile on his face, waved his hand, first threw a burden to Ye Pei, and then whispered: "You have to be stable." β
With Ye Pei's ear power, he naturally heard it clearly, nodded with a smile, Zi Qingrong saw this, closed his eyes, took a few deep breaths, and jumped down from the two-zhang high window.
Ye Pei instantly took a breath, kicked the wall, took off more than a zhang into the air, caught Zi Qingrong in mid-air, and then floated down, and only exhaled when he landed.
"Why are you still jumping......"
"I'm afraid that even if I pick you up, you won't be able to stand it. Ye Pei put her down and picked up the baggage.
Ziqingrong's face was slightly red, and when he saw that Ye Pei had already turned around and stepped forward, he grimaced at his back, and then muttered, "Okay." And he followed.
Looking at the two-zhang high courtyard wall in front of him, Ye Pei turned his head to look at Zi Qingrong next to him: "It turns out that this is the lowest courtyard wall of your house? Where is this lower than the others?"
"That's right...... The walls are all the same height, but here the terrain is a little lower. "The reason why this is the case is because the lord's house is built on a mountain.
"......" Ye Pei touched her forehead, "The terrain is low, aren't we standing low, is there a difference?"
Zi Qingrong was stunned when he heard this, stuck out his tongue and said, "I didn't react at that time......
Ye Pei sighed and said, "If you hadn't suffered internal injuries, it would have been easy to take you up." β
Although this wall is high, Ye Pei can go up with his own physical skills alone, and adding a Zi Qingrong is two words.
"What should I do then......"
Ye Pei thought for a moment and said with a smile: "How did I forget my baby." β
After that, Ye Pei wiped his hand on his waist, took out the Shenxue demon iron, and shook it in the night wind, and the demon iron turned into a long-handled iron hook, Ye Pei hooked the hook on the top of the wall, and said, "Get on my back." β
Zi Qingrong's face turned red, and then he still tightened his arms around Ye Pei's neck.
Ready, Ye Pei quickly carried the girl to the wall, put away the demon iron and jumped out of the lord's mansion with her on his back.
Zi Qingrong got down from Ye Pei's back and looked at his face, and exclaimed, "Why is your face so red? β
Ye Pei coughed twice, touched his nose and said, "Didn't you count it yourself?" After speaking, Ye Pei walked forward.
Zi Qingrong quickly followed and asked, "What's wrong with me?"
Ye Pei took a deep breath before saying, "You have to tell you how tightly you strangled me just now?"
An embarrassed smile appeared on Zi Qingrong's face, "Hmm...... Well, we should go west now. β
......
The next morning, Ziqiong naturally found that her baby daughter had disappeared with Ye Pei.
I thought she hadn't woken up, but she ran away with me!" Zi Qingrong's boudoir, Ziqiong roared in the sky.
On the side, Ziqingrong's mother Hong Yu said: "You can do it, since you were a child, you didn't let her get close to those young people, and now not to mention that you don't look down on other tribes, those young people who haven't died also have marriage contracts." But the fiancΓ©es of the three brothers of the Lin family are also bitter. β
Ziqiong continued: "Why am I a little gloating inexplicably when you say that......"
Hong Yu said angrily: "I mean! She hasn't had much contact with boys since she was a child! Now that she has met such an excellent person who is both civil and military, it is normal to be attracted by others! You have to bear most of the responsibility for this!"
Ziqiong's white face was also a little embarrassed, avoiding his wife's gaze, and walked out quickly and said loudly: "Call Zi Yankong for me! Hurry up!"
After a while, a middle-aged man came to Ziqiong.
"Lord. β
"Well, Miss and a teenager slipped out of the Lord's Mansion last night, and you brought someone to chase after me. But if that girl wants to come back, you can bring her back, and as for that kid, it seems that he has something to do with going to the Holy Sacrifice Mountain. If the girl doesn't want to come back, give this to the boy and let him eat it. β
As she spoke, Ziqiong took out a medicine bottle from the depths of her cabinet.
"Lord," Zi Yankong took the medicine bottle, "this is ......"
Ziqiong said: "Fire eyes." β
Zi Yankong stopped and exclaimed, "That young man is not ......"
Ziqiong interrupted: "It's good to know." It doesn't matter if Qingrong wants to come back, if Qingrong doesn't want to come back, I have to try to make her safer. It would be troublesome for the boy to be recognized. β
Zi Yankong said: "Then why don't I go and follow Miss quietly?"
Ziqiong waved her hand: "Covenant, covenant! They are going to the Holy Sacrifice Mountain, are you going to find death?" And don't worry, as long as you don't get recognized, it should be more than enough for that young man to deal with ordinary troubles. β
......
Wangmai, a mountain village that has no quarrel with the world.
"Young people. β
"Ah, Gray Old, is there something wrong?" Seeing the gray-clothed old man come in, Yue Zhe put down the axe that was chopping wood.
Yue Zhe was able to settle down in this village, but he relied on the old man's help to give him such a courtyard that was still some distance from the village. I just don't know why he wants to help Yue Zhe.
This old man called himself the old man Huiyao, and he also lived alone in the village, and seemed to be very respectable.
"Come, have two drinks with the old man. I saw that the old man Huiyao took out two jars of wine out of nowhere.
Yue Zhe smiled: "Okay." β
With three points of drunkenness, the old man asked, "You said your name is Ye Lan?"
Yue Zhe was stunned for a moment and replied, "Yes." When people came here and asked him his name, Yue Zhe remembered that he didn't seem to be able to report his real name, so he casually reported Alain's name.
"Hahaha......" the old man suddenly laughed, "The life and death of your young master are uncertain, but you live in seclusion here?"
Yue Zhe was suddenly shocked, and when he was thinking about the information in his head, the old man continued: "Okay, the son of the Dragon and Phoenix Sword Yue Yun City, you can't hide it from me even if you change your appearance." β
"Do you still know that I have changed my appearance?" Yue Zhe didn't know what to say, and silently complained in his heart that the disguise technique taught by Ye Pei was not easy to use.
The old man smiled undiminishedly and said, "You don't have to doubt the disguise technique that Ye Pei taught you. It's still easy for you to fool ordinary people. β
Yue Zhe was very serious at this time, and said, "Can you ask, who is the senior?"
The old man said, "I won't tell you everything, I'm the old man Huiyao. β
Yue Zhe said: "My father traveled all over Wangmai, and I know a thing or two about civil and military celebrities, but I have never heard of such a name. β
The old man drank his wine and said, "Who told you that the old man is a Wangmai person?"
Yue Zhe exclaimed: "You don't have wings either, are you from the Yan clan?"
"Hahaha......" The old man laughed again, and then his eyes changed, and a sword aura rushed Yue Zhe to almost sit unsteadily, and then the old man looked at Yue Zhe, who had just sat down with a shocked face, and said with a smile: "Look at the old man's eyes, there is fire?"
Yue Zhe was completely stunned, and muttered, "Then who are you......"
The old man drank all the wine in the cup, stood up and took out two bamboo swords as if playing a trick, and said, "Take it and practice the sword." β
Yue Zhe said as he said: "Two bamboo swords, that's all I ...... Damn!"
After taking it, Yue Zhe found that these two bamboo swords were simply unimaginably heavier, heavier than his own double swords.
"This ......"
By this time, the old man had already walked out.
"You are Yue Zhe, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense. Practice your sword well, there are still things you need to do in this world. β
Yue Zhe said gloomily: "What else can I do...... Is it up to me to save the people?"
The figure of the old man walking to the gate of the courtyard stopped, and then threw back a sentence.
"Ye Pei is not dead. When he returns, he will need your help. β
This sentence made Yue Zhe stay there.
The old man had already walked far away, almost returning to the village from Yue Zhe's remote courtyard, when he suddenly heard a long howl of anger, excitement, and sadness rising from Yue Zhe's direction.
