Chapter 410: The Next Day's Plan
"No need, Miss Red Cloud, they're already back—" At this moment, Xue Feichen, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, looked at the streets of the alley and responded.
Indeed, just as Canglong went out to find Hongyun and them, Hongyun and the "Three Hip-Hop Brothers" also returned from the north of the city at this time. However, their expressions were quite normal, and they looked a little depressed, leaving from the empty situation in their hands, and it seemed that they had not picked up the medicinal herbs tonight.
Like Canglong, when they entered the courtyard and saw the corpses of the black-clothed assassins all over the ground, they were also shocked on the spot, and they actually recognized the general explanation on the spot, so that they knew what happened tonight......
At night, it was still snowing outside the courtyard, and the night was approaching, and the cold was biting. After recuperating for a while, they sat down by the fire in the backyard and recounted their experiences to each other. The disciples of the Beggar Gang were cleaning up the body of the black-clothed assassin in the courtyard at this moment, and observing if there were any lurkers wandering around tonight, while the gang leader Ge Wei was sitting with everyone......
"Nini, be good, it's okay now......" Fang Ying, who was warming up in the room, was soothing a little, and was stroking Nini's head at this moment, and whispered comfortingly.
"Huh-" Nini still looked very psychic, whispered a few words, and then leaned on Fang Ying's palm to fall asleep - it won't be easy for her tonight......
"Tonight, you didn't get the 'Essence Blood Beard', did you?" Seeing Hongyun and the others returning empty-handed, Huang Ji couldn't help but ask.
Hongyun looked helpless and sighed. Then he said: "There is no way, the shopkeeper of the pharmacy has to say that it must be closed at this time, and ignore us...... Ay. I ran so far north of the city in vain, but I didn't get anything done, and I didn't get the medicine back, which is really disappointing......"
Huang Ji was not too disappointed, he said softly: "It's okay, Sister Ying's condition is not strict in the first place, and it won't be okay if you delay it for a day or two...... It's better tomorrow. I'll be able to buy medicine tomorrow. ”
Thinking of the trip to the north of the city tonight, Ado complained on the side and said, "Haha, it's all your fault." If it weren't for your fierce appearance, would the shopkeeper be scared like that?"
"Can I be blamed for this, I'm not the one who is in a hurry?" haha retorted, "Isn't Miss Red Cloud also in a hurry to ask the shopkeeper. He was so scared that he trembled for a long time. Why don't you say that the pockmarked face of the Red Cloud girl scared the shopkeeper?"
As soon as the words fell, Hongyun's resentful eyes glanced at Haha. Haha felt a "murderous aura", knowing what was going on, he didn't dare to look at Hongyun, and immediately closed his mouth.
"Wait, what's going on?" Huang Ji didn't understand what was going on tonight, so he asked again.
"Uh...... This one...... Things are actually a bit complicated......" Hongyun rubbed his hands together and put on an embarrassed look. "We were supposed to be in time for the pharmacy to close tonight. Just in time. But because I'm in a hurry...... So...... We were a little aggressive to find the shopkeeper to ask for medicine, but we didn't know who it was, and the anxious murder scared the shopkeeper half to death, and then the shopkeeper didn't listen to our explanation, and the door was about to close in a hurry, so we didn't ...... I'm sorry, Brother Huang Ji, what you gave us to do, we messed up......" In the end, Hongyun obediently admitted the truth of the matter, and apologized with a little guilt.
"It's okay, I just said it, I didn't get the medicine tonight, and I'll go back tomorrow during ......the day," Huang Ji said kindly.
"But it's really right that you went to the north of the city tonight......, Miss Hongyun," Canglong followed, "Such a dangerous thing happened in the Lanxiang Courtyard tonight, Huang Ji has enough trouble protecting Sister Ying alone, if you are all here tonight, it may be really auspicious...... I've said before that I'd like you to stay in this room and wait for me to come back, but it's wise for you to go to the north of the city early tonight. ”
Hongyun knew that Canglong cared about him, and thought that Canglong must have encountered a lot of dangers when he went to chase those wicked people alone, so Hongyun cared about the question and answer: "Brother Canglong, you went to chase those wicked people today, but you didn't come out...... Nothing is wrong, is it?"
Canglong shrugged his shoulders and said calmly: "It's okay, purely in terms of martial arts, Qiu Ruxin and Zhou Xingtong are not tricky. It's just that tonight I stumbled into their trap and ran into a little trouble. Fortunately, with the help of the masters tonight, I was able to turn the danger into a disaster and get out of the predicament......"
"Masters help each other—who?" Huang Ji couldn't help but ask when he heard Canglong's mouth also say something superior.
"I don't know...... Canglong said, shaking his head, "It's dark tonight, and I can't see that person's face clearly. However, his martial arts are indeed a must, his body is extremely fast, after we drove away Qiu Ruxin and Zhou Xingtong, he actually disappeared in front of my eyes in an instant, light skills are very good, martial arts must not be simple......"
"It's not easy...... There are no other obvious feature codes?" Huang Ji asked again.
"Well...... "He used a knife, and his sword was as fast as lightning and as fast as a snake, killing all the black-clothed assassins in an instant...... Oh, I remember, he had a very conspicuous silver knife with a strange shape, which was quite impressive......"
"The silver knife is conspicuous and has a strange shape," Huang Ji thought deeply...... "I really can't think of anyone, let alone Juming City, it's the entire Central Plains Martial Arts, and I may not be able to think of who it is for a long time." ”
"Anyway, although I let go of Qiu Ruxin and Zhou Xingtong, but fortunately, I didn't fall into the trap of the two of them, thanks to the help of that master......" Canglong continued, "If he can see him again in the future, I, Canglong, will definitely thank him......"
After talking about Canglong, Hongyun thought that Fang Ying must be too difficult tonight, so he talked about the topic again: "Anyway, Sister Ying is safe tonight, this is more important than anything else." Although there were different dangers, everyone was safe tonight......"
"Yes......" Canglong also followed, "Sister Ying can be safe, thanks to Huang Ji, brother-" Canglong turned to Huang Ji and thanked him.
"Where, where. Brother Canglong is also what Huang wanted to see that day, and it ......is only natural to help Brother Canglong today and protect Sister Ying" Huang Ji saw the mask on Canglong's face. Then he said, "But I have heard for a long time that Brother Canglong has been haunting this area recently, and I wanted to have a good relationship, but today I finally have to see the true face of Brother Ren......" Huang Jida has always wanted to see Canglong's true face from the beginning, and when Canglong came back tonight, Huang Ji saw it.
However, Canglong and Huang Ji's expectant eyes are different, although he also regards Huang Ji as a brother. But his eyes glanced out of the door from time to time, as if he had something on his mind. It's not so much that he thinks about it, but that Canglong is a little afraid to face up to Huang Ji's little meaning.
Fortunately, at the critical moment. Hongyun's question relieved a trace of the embarrassment of the atmosphere: "By the way, then help Sister Ying get medicine tomorrow, will we still go?"
"You don't have to go tomorrow—" Huang Ji said, "It's not easy for you to run so far tonight." Let's get some rest tomorrow at the Humble House...... I think the people of the Ghost King Division have suffered heavy casualties tonight. Don't dare to make trouble in the orchid courtyard anymore...... However, Yingmei's matter, they must not want to let it go, maybe someone will secretly monitor it. I'll pick up the medicine tomorrow, and I'll go with Sister Ying. ”
"Am I with Brother Huang Ji?" Okay-" Fang Ying finished taking care of Nini sleeping on the side, and heard everyone's conversation again, and resumed her lively feelings. In fact, after experiencing this with Huang Ji tonight, Fang Ying became more and more dependent on Huang Jilai, even more than Canglong. Compared with Canglong's usual coldness. Huang Ji obviously took the initiative to care about Fang Ying a lot.
However, we are talking about tomorrow. Ge Wei, who had been silent, suddenly spoke on the side: "Ji'er, don't go out tomorrow, I still have something to talk to you about alone......
"Father-in-law......" Huang Ji heard the meaning of Ge Wei's words, and seemed to understand something, so he nodded with staring eyes, but thinking that Fang Ying's side was also very important, so he asked again, "But, I stay here, and Sister Ying can't be alone, who will accompany her to get the medicine?"
"I'll go—" At this time, Canglong responded again, "The medicine shop in the north of the city, I'll just ask for the next way." Tomorrow I will accompany Sister Ying to get the medicine, so that Brother Huang Ji can rest assured, right?"
Fang Ying heard that she couldn't be with Huang Ji, and she had to go with the "hot and cold" Canglong, and she pouted a little reluctantly. However, thinking that what Canglong did with Huang Ji tonight was to protect herself, Fang Ying was still very grateful to Canglong from the bottom of her heart, after all, in her heart, Fang Ying still had such a good impression of Canglong......
"Then it's decided, just let Canglong Daxia accompany Miss Fang tomorrow, Ji'er, you stay......" Ge Wei stood up, and then walked to the door, "Okay, it's not too early today, there are so many things tonight, and it's not easy for you young people." Sleep well, recuperate yourself, I will send a disciple to guard the courtyard tonight, you don't have to worry about the people of the Ghost King Master coming again......"
"Okay, father-in-law, you should rest early......" Huang Ji responded.
So, Ge Wei took two steps out of the backyard door. However, as soon as he went out, Xue Feichen greeted him from the door and whispered, "Brother Ge, today Elder Chang and I went to see the situation in the official mansion, and it seems that something is wrong......
"Really, are you sure?" asked Ge Wei softly, then glanced back at Huang Ji and them, as if he didn't want Huang Ji and them to know something.
"Things do seem to be a little strange...... Xue Feichen said softly, "What should I do, Brother Ge, now that the important personnel of the beggar gang are here, do you need to take action?"
"Don't worry, we don't have any evidence in our hands now, so we can't make assertions......" Ge Wei seemed to be hiding something from Huang Ji, he glanced back at Huang Ji again, and then said to Xue Feichen, "In short, it's better not to let Ji Er and them know about this matter...... I promised Canglong Daxia before to let Ji Er accompany them and escort Miss Fang back to Yixian Gate, so I don't plan to let Ji Er interfere in the affairs of Ju Mingcheng's generation...... What's more, tonight, his enemy ghost king master also came up, I really didn't expect things to come so quickly...... In short, it's better not to let Ji'er know about it......"
Ge Wei and Xue Feichen winked again, and then slowly left the backyard......
Huang Ji didn't notice it either, and generally Ge Wei didn't clearly emphasize that Huang Ji wouldn't care about his father-in-law's affairs. Finally seeing Canglong today, Huang Ji focused all his energy on this.
"Today I finally saw the true face of the Canglong brothers. Huang is also fortunate to be ...... in three lives" After a polite remark, Huang Ji walked in front of Canglong and said with a smile. "Although it is a little rude, Huang still wants to ask some information, why does the Canglong brothers refuse to take off their masks, show their true faces, and be honest with each other?"
Canglong has never dared to look at Huang Ji for a long time, and it seems that he has always been avoiding Huang Ji. Canglong also stood up slowly and thought for a long time. Then he said slowly: "It's nothing, because I once swore that I would never take off my mask in front of the world again......"
"Is there anything unspeakable?" or ......," Huang Ji guessed. While laughing, he said, "Even so, I won't force that brother...... But let's be honest, listen to you tonight. I think of a friend of mine. He's kind of like you......"
Canglong didn't respond anything, but looked sideways at the snowflakes outside the door, and West Lake felt sad.
"A mask can cover a person's face, but it can't cover a person's heart......" Huang Ji said intriguingly, "Although I can't see the true face of Brother Canglong, I believe I will understand your ......"
Canglong still didn't answer, and he didn't look at Huang Ji directly.
"And the sword ...... behind Brother Canglong" Huang Ji noticed the big sword behind Canglong that had never been unsheathed, and then said. "It is rumored that Canglong heroes rarely use swords, and their peerless martial arts 'Canglong Palm' is enough to stand alone in the world. Today's Canglong brothers' affairs in Qiyuan Restaurant. Brother, I heard about it from my stepfather. Although I don't know why the current Canglong brothers don't draw their swords, but brother, I really try the Canglong brothers' martial arts another day, and the high and low scores are ......."
Canglong still didn't look at Huang Ji, he didn't seem to dare to look at Huang Ji's eyes, and then, he replied silently: "Since Huang Ji's brother requested, he will definitely agree to it in the future, if he has the opportunity in the future, our two brothers will compete again...... See if you can get what you want in the past......" The last sentence, Canglong's sentence was very slight, and Huang Ji stood so close in front of him that he didn't hear it clearly.
Huang Ji looked at the sword behind Canglong, and couldn't help but secretly say in his heart: "He is not a real Canglong hero, why doesn't he use a sword like Canglong Hero?" Either the sword itself is too conspicuous and he doesn't dare to show his true face, or ...... Even after using the swordsmanship, people can guess who he is......"
Huang Ji looked at Canglong a little taciturn, and kept looking at the snow outside the door, Huang Ji smiled softly, as if he was going to do something, and turned his head and walked towards the bookshelf.
Canglong, including Fang Ying, everyone didn't know what Huang Ji was going to do, and they all turned their heads to look at Huang Ji's side.
"Brother Huang Ji, what's wrong with you?" Fang Ying suddenly asked.
Huang Ji took the paper mill from the bookshelf, put it on the table, and then said with a smile: "There is snow tonight, and it is commensurate with the Canglong brothers below, and suddenly the poetry is booming, and I want to make two sentences——"
So it didn't take long for Huang Ji to finish writing a seven-word poem on paper. When the pen and paper were finished, it said:
The snow is slightly cool in the courtyard of the whole door, and the door is just right when the righteous brother is in the court. Smile and ask about the three warm days in the cold winter, how can Suzhou and Hangzhou have Gu Sijia?
"Good poem-" The poem was finished, and after everyone finished reading it, Fang Ying was the first to be happy, "I didn't expect that Brother Huang Ji not only understands medical skills, but also writes well." Although he is a disciple of the beggar gang, he knows how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and he really deserves the title of 'beggar scholar'. ”
"Thank you Sister Ying for the compliment—" Huang Ji also responded to Fang Ying with a smile.
Not only Fang Ying, but even the "Three Hip Hop Brothers" were also amazed when they saw it. Hippie smiled and said: "Brother Huang Ji, although the three of us brothers are rough people, but looking at your writing, we probably know that Huang Gongzi's writing is really extraordinary." If you weren't a disciple of the beggar gang, wouldn't you become a merry man who is sought after and fascinated by thousands of women in the world?"
"Don't talk nonsense, Brother Huang Ji is not that kind of person......" Fang Ying pursed her lips and retorted.
Of course, everyone also knew that hippie's words were a joke, and it didn't take long for everyone, including Huang Ji, to really laugh.
Immediately, Huang Ji said to Canglong again: "Since it is a feeling, this poem Huang can be regarded as a gift to the Canglong brothers——"
"Thank you Brother Huang Ji, Brother Fool accepted the ......" Canglong just replied lightly, and did not laugh like everyone else.
Fang Ying saw Canglong's cold expression, and said a little unhappily: "Really, people gave you things, why do you still look dead like this......"
Canglong didn't care about Fang Ying's words, he looked at the seven-character poem written by Huang Ji, and seemed to have noticed something, not only did he not smile happily like Fang Ying and them, but his eyes became more strict.
Coincidentally, Hongyun, who was with the "Three Hip Hop Brothers", saw Huang Ji's poem, and somehow, like Canglong, did not have a happy look on his face, but instead had a deep expression without a smile that he could not fathom......
And Huang Ji saw Canglong's reaction to the inright hot and cold, and his eyes froze slightly...... (To be continued......)
