Chapter 13: Shocking News (I)
About half an hour later, the footsteps outside the house sounded again, but this time there was only one person outside the door, it was the beautiful woman Ji Honglian who had been here once before.
I saw that she was carrying a basket of things in her hand, covered with a silk cloth and could not see the scene inside, and standing at the door, I don't know what she said to the two guards, who looked a little surprised and hesitant, and replied in a low voice.
Ji Honglian shook her head, smiling, but her expression was very resolute.
The two guards looked at each other for a moment, then silently retreated, but they didn't really leave the place, but walked a foot or two away from the gate, still looking at this side from a distance.
Then, Ji Honglian walked in, dragged a chair, and generously placed it directly beside Yin He's bed, then glanced at him and smiled, "Are you hungry?"
"Starving!" Yin He rolled over and sat up, the shackles on his wrists clanging.
Ji Honglian put the basket in her hand forward, Yin He took it and lifted the cloth covering the face, only to see that the basket contained a roast chicken and two pots of wine, and suddenly smiled, reached over and tore off a chicken leg, took a bite hard, lifted a wine jug, and drank it in a gulp.
Yin He drank half a pot directly in one breath, then stopped, let out a long breath, and let out an extremely satisfied exclamation.
Ji Honglian shook her head, looking a little disgusted, and scolded with a smile: "Are you like this, like a starving ghost reincarnated." ”
Yin He chewed the meat in his mouth, rolled his eyes at Ji Honglian, and said, "Nonsense! You have a good life, you stay in this holy city every day to eat and drink spicy food, how do you know my suffering? I have been in the Inner Ring Land for three years, and I haven't tasted wine for three years. ”
Ji Honglian nodded, leaned forward, raised her foot and stepped on the side, looked at Yin He with her fingers on her leg with her chin support, and said with a slight straight face: "I have heard of this rule before, but I didn't expect that your side is really so strict." ”
Yin Hadao: "That's nature. The Inner Ring is no better than the Holy City, where dangers are lurking and responsibilities are great, and if you are not careful, someone may lose their lives, and it is absolutely intolerable to drink and make mistakes. Of all the people I know, at least, not a single piece of wine has been shipped into the Inner Ring in the past three years. ”
Ji Honglian sighed and said, "It seems that you have suffered a lot in the past few years, and when I first met you, I almost didn't recognize you." This thick-skinned, scarred man, and you...... Is this gobbling up the appearance of the Yin family's jade son who was unruly in the Holy City back then, and made many girls from aristocratic families fall in love with him?"
"Poof!" Yin He spit out a chicken leg bone in his mouth, his mouth was full of oil, he looked extremely rude, and then picked up the wine jug and took a big sip, then wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said with a smile: "What jade son is not jade boy, don't mention it in the future, it sounds like a woman, not a man or a woman, it makes people feel disgusting, well, like a shemale!"
Ji Honglian rolled her eyes at him, obviously not very much in agreement with this man's words, and said angrily: "Vulgar! You guy hasn't come out of the inner ring for three years, how did you become like this!"
Yin He glanced at her with a smile and said, "When I left three years ago, you weren't like this now." Hey, I still remember when I was a little girl, when I heard that I was leaving, I was still in tears, did I cry later?"
"Cry you!" Ji Honglian immediately scolded in a clarifying manner, "After you left, this girl didn't know how happy she was, no one teased me or laughed at me anymore, so happy that this girl immediately held a banquet and a banquet for three days and three nights, and everyone in the Holy City knew about it!"
Yin He laughed, nodded again and again, gave Ji Honglian a thumbs up, and said, "You are amazing!"
Ji Honglian glanced at him, leaned back on the back of the chair behind her, and gradually, her eyes softened, and she said softly: "I heard you say that it is so dangerous, life and death are only between a thin line, it is really ...... It's really suffering. ”
Yin He looked at the basket containing food and wine in front of him, was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, and said: "The life over there in the inner ring is indeed worse than here in the Holy City, but so many people have died, but I am the only one who survived, so this ordeal is not bitter, it is nothing at all." ”
Ji Honglian took a deep look at him, took out a wine glass from the corner of the basket, handed it to Yin He, and said, "I have prepared a wine glass for you, don't always grab the wine bottle and pour it desperately, Sven order." ”
Yin He grinned, then grabbed the flask and poured another big sip into his mouth.
Ji Honglian glared at this unruly man, and seemed a little helpless for a while, smiled bitterly and put the wine glass back, and after a moment of silence, said: "This time you narrowly escaped and came back, but you were under house arrest here, did you think of any reason in your heart?"
Yin He was silent for a moment and said, "There are too many people who have died, and I am the only one who is alive, so things are a little unclear." ”
Ji Honglian nodded and said: "That's true, this time the matter is very big, because the losses are indeed heavy." Originally, the manpower in the Inner Ring Land was very tight, and so many people died at once, and several elders of the Council of Elders were alarmed. Moreover, the Fourteen Green Jade Institute is one of the Green Jade Places that go deepest into the Inner Ring Land, and the people there are almost all elite people, and this loss is too great. ”
"I know. Yin He nodded and said, "They should want to have an explanation." ”
"However, you don't have to worry, I have listened to this from beginning to end, although it is a little unbelievable, but I still believe you. The land of the inner ring and the sacred mountain are the most mysterious places in the world, and all kinds of demons and monsters are not uncommon, but this time it was just bad luck to run into a particularly ferocious monster, I don't think you can blame it. ”
Yin He said with a smile: "You don't say this, otherwise, you go back and persuade your father and let his old man come out and say this at the elders' meeting, then it will be good." ”
"Go, go, go. Ji Honglian glanced at him angrily and said, "You know that it's impossible." ”
Yin He spread his hands with a smile, and then seemed to think of something, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly said: "But then again, this time I am under house arrest, I'm afraid it's not just to verify the matter of that black magic mantis monster, right?"
Ji Honglian was silent for a while and said, "You guessed it, it's true." In addition to this matter, there is actually another thing that some people want to know. She glanced up at him and said calmly, "That Xiao Wu." ”
