"Bang dang dang dang ......"

There was a chaotic sound of shackles and chains, and Yin He stood up from the bed suddenly, his face was pale, his eyes were staring at Ji Honglian, and he said astringently: "You, you say it again." ”

Ji Honglian's snow-white teeth bit her lower lip lightly, wiped it on her face with her hand, and then whispered: "It's the hand of the 'desolate thief'." In the three years that you have been in the Inner Ring, for some reason, the desolate thieves outside have suddenly become stronger, burning, killing, looting, and doing all kinds of evil. Not only did they invade the desolate tribes that submitted to our holy city, but sometimes they even attacked the lonely men and horses of our human race, causing great disasters and uneasiness, and they had reached the point where they could not be rectified. ”

"Because of this, the Council of Elders has also ordered the 'Four Elephant Army' in the Holy City to track down and eliminate this increasingly rampant bandit. At that time, Brother Yin was the deputy head of the Xuanwu Guard in the Four Elephants Army, and once he got a secret report from outside, saying that he had found the traces of the desolate thieves, so he led his subordinates to chase after him, who knew that in the fierce battle...... He was seriously wounded, and before he could return to the Holy City, he was already dead. ”

Yin He sat back slowly, his expression blank, his lips trembling slightly, and after a while, he put his hands in his hair and buried his head in his chest.

Ji Honglian looked from the side and saw that Yin He's knuckles were white, which was a sign of excitement and exertion. She was also sad in her heart, and her eyes turned red again.

Because of the relationship between their respective families, she has been playing with the two brothers of the Yin family since she was a child, but because she is five or six years younger than the two of them, to be precise, she has always liked to follow the two high-spirited brothers.

In her beautiful and innocent girlhood, the two of them had always been her best friends, and at several times she naively thought that they were destined to live such a chic, happy, even if uninhibited life. However, in just a few years, it seems that all of a sudden everything has changed.

"Don't be too upset. Ji Honglian comforted Yin He softly, but found that her voice was a little trembling for some reason.

Yin He still didn't look up, it looked like the whole person had shrunk up, buried his face deep in his hands, and after a while, he only heard his bitter voice and asked in a low voice, "When did this happen?"

Ji Honglian said: "It was about half a year ago. She paused for a moment, a trace of anger suddenly flashed across her face, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't your family tell you about such a big thing?"

Yin He took a deep breath, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "No one told me. ”

Ji Honglian's face turned pale with anger, but she didn't know what to do, and she had nothing to say for a while.

※※※

The oppressive atmosphere in the house was cold, and for a while neither of them spoke.

After a long time, Yin He raised his head and pulled the basket brought by Ji Honglian without saying a word, looking at the half-eaten roast chicken and the leftover wine in the basket, he also laughed miserably.

He picked up the wine glass, poured two glasses of wine, held them with both hands and touched them gently, then sighed and said in a low voice: "Big brother, it's me who is a fool to be a younger brother, and there is nothing good about it, so I will do it, but I think you won't care." ”

After speaking, he slowly poured a glass of wine on the ground, and then drank the other glass in his hand.

Then, his expression was dazed, his eyes seemed to be looking at some unknown place, and he didn't know what he saw, and after a while, he said softly, "Go all the way." ”

Ji Honglian saw him like this on the side, and gently covered her mouth with her hand, with a sad look on her face.

On the contrary, after the initial grief, although Yin He's expression was still gloomy, he did not really lose his sobriety and broke down and cried.

After being silent for a while, he suddenly said to Ji Honglian: "You do me a favor." ”

"Well, you say. Ji Honglian reached out and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Help me get to home. Yin He said in a low voice, "Since the eldest brother has passed away, you can only go to my father." No matter what he is doing now, I am his son after all, and it is a matter of family face, and he will not ignore me. At the very least, I'm going to get out of here first. ”

"Okay!" Ji Honglian nodded without hesitation and agreed, then stood up and said, "Don't worry, I'll help you inform your family, you can't be blamed for the incident in the inner ring, and besides, if your father comes forward to ask for someone in person, even the Council of Elders should give some face." So you should be out soon, don't get any restless. ”

With that, she hurried away, and although she seemed to tell others not to worry, she herself looked very anxious.

As Ji Honglian left here, the two guards who were standing in the distance quickly returned to their original positions and closed the door of the gate with their hands.

Yin He didn't care about them, he just sat there in a daze, motionless for a long time, and I don't know how much time passed, he suddenly stretched out his hand, but he grabbed the remaining half of the roast chicken from the basket, tore off a piece of chicken with his hand, and slowly stuffed it into his mouth, but it seemed to move his mouth like chewing wax, and at the same time he only heard him whisper slowly to himself: "Big brother, don't worry, I'm fine." I'll eat your share for you......"

※※※

Ji Honglian came back a day later, and as before, after she arrived at the room where Yin He was under house arrest, she broke away from the guards at the door, which was actually a bit excessive, but the two guards didn't say anything, just silently retreated into the distance.

"Yin He, I have already been to your house, met your father, told him everything about this side, and I have already told him what you mean. ”

After a night's rest, Yin He seemed to be much better than yesterday, nodded when he heard the words, and said, "Did he say anything?"

Ji Honglian hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Yin said that he knew, and when he understands what happened, he will come to pick you up as soon as possible." ”

Yin He was silent for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

Ji Honglian gritted her teeth, suddenly with a somewhat complaining tone, and said, "If you want me to say, Uncle Yin, he should come over immediately to see you first, my son who hasn't seen him for a few years, he can't even come to take a look." ”

Yin He's face remained unchanged, and he didn't seem to react to this matter, but said lightly: "Maybe my father has something to delay." ”

"What can be more important than my own son!" Ji Honglian raised her voice suddenly, looking really angry, she gritted her teeth over there and muttered for a while, and then said, "When I told Uncle Yin about this in the past, his little wife Hu Ji was next to her, looking at her face was not very happy, maybe she was the one who made it bad in the middle." ”

Yin He was silent, as if he hadn't heard Ji Honglian's words. Ji Honglian glanced at him, paused, and said, "Also, I also helped you ask Uncle Yin, why did your family not tell you such a big news about Brother Yin's death." ”

This time, Yin He finally had a little reaction, raised his head, and said, "What did he say?"

He didn't speak. Ji Honglian looked a little annoyed and said, "Your father sat there and didn't say a word for a while, but the orchid next to him came over and said to me with a hypocritical smile, this is your Yin family's housework, and when you get home, Uncle Yin will naturally talk to you deeply, so you don't need to talk about this now." ”

The corners of Yin He's mouth twitched, and he seemed to laugh lowly, and then said, "Okay, I'll hear what he has to say when I get home." ”

Ji Honglian sighed, looked at Yin He with some concern, and said, "Are you okay?"

Yin He raised his head and glanced at the beautiful girl, nodded and said, "It's okay." ”

Ji Honglian was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Actually, there is another matter, I don't know if I should tell you now......

"Say, it's not a big deal. Yin He said calmly.

Ji Honglian hesitated for a moment and said, "After I came back yesterday, the more I thought about it, the more wrong it became, so I went to find someone to inquire about your family in private." Well, you know, in my family, and my dad, as long as you find the right person, you can actually find a lot of things......"

Yin He nodded, although Ji Honglian didn't say it too bluntly, Yin He obviously understood what she meant, and said, "I know that I have admired Elder Ji's prestige and methods in the Holy City since I was a child. ”

Ji Honglian sighed, it seemed that she was still a little embarrassed, but after glancing at Yin He, she finally spoke: "After I went to ask, someone told me that after your eldest brother unfortunately passed away, Uncle Yin actually wanted to tell you and transfer you back from the Inner Ring Land. Because over the years, the Yin family has always cultivated Brother Yin as the heir to the family. Now that he's unfortunately passed away, it's your turn to be next. ”

Yin He was expressionless and said, "However, the final result is that no one has come to tell me about it. ”

Ji Honglian said: "That's right, it is said that the reason is...... Orchid stopped your father. ”

Yin He's eyes closed for a while, then slowly opened them again, and said, "Why?"

Ji Honglian said: "It is said that at that time, Hu Ji said to Uncle Yin that Brother Yin unfortunately died and the family lost its pillar, so it is advisable to set up an heir as soon as possible." The second son, Yin He, has been in the inner ring for three years, and his body has been invaded by the power of the sacred mountain, and he has no future in witchcraft in this life. And the youngest son, Yin Hai, was born smart and talented, and Bu Wu once touched his bones and looked at his face, saying that his future achievements are limitless. So...... When the youngest son Yin Hai inherited the position of the head of the family in the future. ”

When she said the last sentence, the expression on Ji Honglian's face looked angry and worried, and she kept looking at Yin He, but found that Yin He's expression had not changed much from beginning to end, and perhaps the only thing that had changed was in his eyes, which flickered brightly and darkly.

"I'll talk about it when I get out. Yin He said in a low voice, "And thank you this time, Red Lotus." ”

Ji Honglian showed a sad look on her face, shook her head slightly, and after a while, she stood up and walked towards the door, ready to leave here.

However, when she walked to the door, her footsteps stopped again, turned her head to look at Yin He, and suddenly said: "About two years ago, I met Brother Yin once, he drank too much that day, and there was no one around, so he pulled me to talk a lot." He said...... He was sad and he said he was sorry for you. ”

"He said, it was supposed to be all yours. ”

"He also said that the thought of your suffering in the Inner Ring now keeps him awake at night, but he can't do anything more......"

"Yin He," Ji Honglian looked at the man's eyes and said, "You tell me the truth, back then, you suddenly ignored the danger, abandoned your future, and insisted on entering the Inner Ring Land, did you want to give up the position of the head of the Yin family, including the qualification to enter the 'Temple' to practice witchcraft in the future, to your eldest brother?"

Yin He looked at Ji Honglian indifferently, expressionless, and didn't speak for a long time.
