Marrying The Villain - Chapter 43
Turning around the Moon Gate rockery, with white walls and emerald tiles, the sun shines on the banana leaves in the courtyard, which are so green.
Yu Lingxi’s paper kite is exquisitely drawn, and the bamboo whistle is like a twist, but it’s a pity that the string is easy to break when the wind blows, and she doesn’t know who it will fall into.
Things that cannot be controlled always make people love and hate. The paper kite is like this, and so is people.
Ning Yin stopped in her tracks, and cast her eyes on the caged thrush in the porch.
In the future, when he left the Yu Mansion, he would have to lock up that consonant bird too. It was too much for people to worry about, so he was worried.
It’s not enough to just lock it up, you have to lock that snow-white ankle with a thin gold chain, so that she can only laugh for him and cry softly at him.
Just as he was thinking, a guard strode over from the corner gate, saw Ning Yin, and greeted Ning Yin: “That brother!”
Ning Yin ignored it, and the guard raised his voice blindly: “That little brother!”
Ning Yin glanced over, her dark pupils were filled with impatience.
The guard held his stomach and moved forward, holding his purple face and said stiffly: “I’m urgent, please help me! Take this urgent report to the study for me and hand it over to the Major General!”
After finishing speaking, he stuffed a letter box into Ning Yin’s hand and left.
Ning Yin lowered her eyes and looked at the bamboo letter box in her hand.
A picture of thousands of miles of mountains and rivers is engraved on the bamboo tube, and the word “you” is engraved on the bottom. The Yu family army guards the frontier, and each fortified city has a unique letter box. This one should be the Yu family army newspaper sent from Youzhou.
His eyes darken slightly.
The corners of Ning Yin’s lips curled into an almost invisible arc, and she put the letterbox behind her back, and walked towards the study at a leisurely pace.
Yu Huanchen waited in the room for a while, thinking deeply, when he heard the knock on the door, Fang Lianrong said, “Come in.”
A young man in a dark military uniform stepped into the room and said coldly, “Young General, urgent report at the border.”
“Put it on my table.”
Yu Huanchen didn’t look at the letter tube, but raised his heroic eyes from behind the scroll, sizing up the tall and straight young man vaguely, and said for a while, “Your name is…”
He paused, and Ning Yin said calmly: “Wei Qi.”
“Oh, Wei Qi.” Yu Huanchen remembered that this name was given to him by his silly sister.
“I heard that you were once a slave in the fairy capital of the Desire Realm?” he asked.
Ning Yin said calmly, “Yes.”
“Since you are a person from the fairy capital of the Desire Realm, why do you want to conceal your identity?”
Yu Huanchen turned the pages of the book and stared at the young man’s reaction, “After all the immortals in the Desire Realm are sealed, all slaves will be used as corvees. Don’t you know that escaping is a capital offense?”
Ning Yin said: “Before the immortals in the Desire Realm were destroyed, I was no longer from there. Thank you for your kindness, miss, you took me in the mansion.”
Yu Huanchen was silent, what he said was consistent with the information Qing Xiao found.
A person’s identity can be hidden, but his temperament is indelible. Yu Huanchen looked at this handsome young man in front of him who was neither humble nor overbearing, and was born harmless to humans and animals, and unexpectedly felt a feeling of being looked down upon from a height out of thin air.
The keenness that has been experienced in the battlefield made him aware of the oppression immediately.
Yu Huanchen simply stood up, looked at the boy at the same level, and asked, “Since that’s the case, why did you fall into the fairy capital of the Desire Realm? How many people are in your family? Where is your ancestral home?”
“Can not remember.”
“Can not remember?”
“Those who have been reduced to the fairy capital of the desire world have no past.”
As he spoke, Ning Yin lowered his voice a little, “Young General, do you think I’m a lowly person, humiliating the face of the General’s Mansion?”
When he said that, Yu Huanchen couldn’t cross-examine him too much.
“Don’t ask where the hero came from. You saved my sister’s life, so you should be the guest of my Yu family. It’s just that those who stay in the house have to tell the truth, just ask casually.”
But Yu Huanchen knew in his heart that even a rootless beggar would leave traces as long as he lived in the world. Unless, it was deliberately erased.
And those who have that ability are definitely not civilians.
But Yu Huanchen asked Qing Xiao to investigate for more than two months, but he couldn’t find out the boy’s experience before the age of fourteen. He was sold into the fairy capital of the desire world five years ago, and became a bullying slave.
It is rare for such a young slave to survive for two years, but he survived until the night before the destruction of the Immortal Capital of the Desire Realm, and escaped from the cruel killing of the king of Xichuan County…
And what’s weird is: the king of Xichuan County is brutal and aggressive. He used to indulge in gambling in the Colosseum, always picking the strongest slaves and killing them. Why did he order a thin boy to come to power for several days before his death?
The immortals in the Desire Realm were destroyed, the Duke of Xichuan was dead, and everything related to the young man’s past was gradually disappearing.
Coupled with the recently found clues, Yu Huanchen had to think more.
In just a short moment, he turned his thoughts around a few times, and smiled like a fox: “Wei Qi, I see that you are strong and powerful, and you are too talented to be a backyard guard. Would you like to be my personal guard and join the Yu Family Army?” , make contributions?”
This is undoubtedly a tempting bait, the corners of Ning Yin’s mouth twitched imperceptibly: “Thanks to the love of the Major General, Wei Qi is not willing.”
Yu Huanchen was surprised: “Why?”
If this boy really has other plans, there is no reason to let go of this opportunity to get in touch with military secrets.
“Wei Qi is a humble layman who doesn’t understand the righteousness of family and country.”
Ning Yin lowered her eyes and said in a low voice: “My life was given by the young lady, and I only wish to repay the young lady with a knot in my life. If I want to leave, I should give my life back to the young lady first.”
Yu Huanchen was speechless, even he was moved by this statement.
He opened his mouth, but before he opened his mouth, the young man seemed to know what he was going to say, and said quietly: “The major general’s interrogation is only for the safety of the young lady, Wei Qi understands.”
So Yu Huanchen shut up, looked at him for a while, and said with a smile, “That’s good.”
“If there is nothing wrong, Wei Qi will leave.” After saying that, the young man cupped his fists and left the study.
There were piles of confidential documents on the desk, and he didn’t even look at them.
Yu Huanchen picked up the bamboo tube on the case table, opened it, and found that the purpose-made mechanism inside was intact, and there was no sign of being dismantled.
He stood for a while touching his chin, and called out, “Qing Xiao.”
The tall and taciturn guard came in, cupped his fists and said, “Young General.”
Yu Huanchen poured out the secret letter from the bamboo tube and asked, “He really hasn’t touched this letter?”
Qing Xiao said: “Returning to the young general, the subordinates have been watching all the way, and indeed they have never seen him do anything suspicious.”
“It shouldn’t be.” Yu Huanchen murmured, raised his hand and waved Qing Xiao back.
If this young man is not a single-minded foolish and loyal person, he must be an extremely deep scheming master in the city.
He sat back in the chair and thought to himself: I picked it up every year, is it a ghost or a Buddha?
Ning Yin walked out of the study, walked through the atrium and the long corridor, and squinted her eyes.
Among the generals, Yu Huanchen had a flexible mind. The information he possessed must be far more than what he asked.
“I’m suspicious.”
Ning Yin scoffed lowly, without much surprise.
It seems that there must be more fire in the palace.
The sound of wings breaking through the air came from the ridge of the roof, passing a shadow under the sun.
A quarter of an hour later, the sound of a salesman shaking a rattle came from the back alley.
…
After Xue Cen came out of Yu Mansion, he did not leave immediately.
He sat in the carriage and thought for a long time.
Since childhood, his grandfather taught him to be self-restraining and polite, guard against arrogance and impetuosity, and only when he was alone, his gentle and clear face would show some serious thoughts.
Xue Cen knows that the Yu family’s family style is simple and simple, and there are not so many restrictions of distinction, but on the bamboo path of Jinyun Temple, there is a picture of a boy in black holding an umbrella for the second girl Yu, and there is a picture of the two girls standing side by side beside the waterside pavilion just now. The harmony of the kites made him worry from the bottom of his heart.
There were rumors about the second girl Yu before, but Xue Cen never took it to heart, because he believed that the ten-year friendship between childhood sweethearts was enough to dispel all the rumors.
Now, he couldn’t hide his panic.
The boy’s appearance was indeed very good, handsome as uncut jade, his temperament was not like a bodyguard, but like a pampered prince and grandson. But he always felt that the boy’s eyebrows and eyes were too dark and cold, revealing a bit of evil.
Xue Cen didn’t blame Yu Lingxi.
The little girl is still uncertain, so she is easily deceived and deceived by sweet words.
The Yu family valued love and righteousness, and for the sake of Chunshou’s kindness, they respected that young man more. But that young man’s intentions were not right, he didn’t keep his duty as a servant, and he was arrogating a lot.
That being the case, if the Yu family is inconvenient to say, he will do it for him today.
Just as he was thinking, the servant standing outside the car knocked on the wall of the car and said in a low voice, “Second Young Master, the guard has come out.”
Xue Cen came back to his senses, and lifted the curtain of the car to have a look.
I saw a peddler selling snacks coming shaking a rattle, the young man came out after hearing the sound, and bought a bag of candy familiarly.
Xue Cen got up and got out of the car, adjusted his robe carefully, and said, “Follow me.”
The shopkeeper carried the burden and continued to yell away, the copper coins in the drawer of the cargo box jingled, and passed by the elegant and well-clothed young man.
Ning Yin bought candy, but was not in a hurry to return home.
With a glance, there was a tinkling sound of the ring pendant from a distance of two feet behind him, as if he didn’t know that someone was following him.
The corners of Ning Yin’s mouth curled up, he twirled a candy and chewed it carefully, ignoring the footsteps behind him.
Turning the corner of the alley, he disappeared.
Xue Cen’s servant quickly chased after him, looking at the intersection of the empty alley, he wondered, “My lord, where is he?”
Xue Cen was also puzzled, before he could react, he heard a thud behind him.
Looking back, he saw that the servant who was still talking to him just now was lying on the ground like a dead person.
And that handsome and evil young man in military uniform appeared out of nowhere, like strolling in a garden, standing behind the unconscious servant with caramel wrapped in oil paper.
Xue Cen was surprised: “Why did you hurt my servant?”
Ning Yin laughed, and said lightly: “I thought it was a gangster following me, but I accidentally missed it. I’m really sorry.”
He said “sorry” on his mouth, but his eyes were cold and cold, and he didn’t apologize at all.
Xue Cen watched helplessly as the boy stepped over the boy, who was trampled so that his body turned up and then lay down again, his eyes turned white, and a clear shoe print was left on his chest.
Ning Yin made a smile that could not be called a smile, and said slowly: “It is said that the Second Young Master Xue is bright and bright, so why is he doing the trick of following this thief?”
For some reason, Xue Cen felt a chill down his spine.
He collected himself, took out the self-cultivation of the grandson of the Xiangfu, and said clearly: “I am not following, I have been waiting here for a long time, and I have something to say to you.”
The boy’s eyes were dark, looking at him was like looking at an ant that was about to be crushed.
When has Xue Cen been ignored like this?
Frowning tightly, he said seriously: “It stands to reason that you are an attendant of the Yu Mansion, so I shouldn’t remind you of these words…”
Ning Yin laughed: “Since you know ‘shouldn’t’, why talk nonsense?”
“you!”
Xue Cen secretly said “vulgar”, how could the second younger sister favor such a rude and presumptuous guy?
“Since that’s the case, Xue Mou said it directly.”
Xue Cen clenched his fists secretly, raised his eyes and said loudly, “A gentleman should not do indecent things, just treat it for the sake of the second sister, I hope you can stay away from her.”
Ning Yin didn’t even look at him, she didn’t stop walking, and walked away with him.
Xue Cen frowned even more, and raised his voice: “I don’t look down on you, it’s just that the difference in family status is right in front of me. The second sister is pure in nature, and it’s normal for her to be excited for a while, but you need to understand that she can’t let go of her.” As the noble daughter of the general’s mansion, she is married to a slave who escaped from the fairy capital of the Desire Realm with unknown origins!”
Ning Yin paused slightly, turned around, her lacquered eyes were as cold as ice.
This fool, dare to check him?
Xue Cen, however, thought that he had hit the point, which made him jealous, and he couldn’t help but become more confident: “Second sister grew up surrounded by stars, rich in clothes and rich in food, you know how long you have to work before you can afford her a piece of clothing.” Hairpins, a set of clothes? The family background is different, and the gap between ethics and education cannot be bridged. You will get nothing but hurt her. Please retreat to your servant’s duty, don’t…”
“I satisfy my selfish desire, but let me be a gentleman, the beauty of an adult.”
Ning Yin laughed, and asked slowly, “When you kill people, do you also use such hypocritical excuses?”
Xue Cen was stunned, his neck was red with anger: “What are you talking about? The Xue family has a century-old reputation, how can you allow you to spout blood!”
“Qingyu?” Ning Yin seemed to have heard a big joke.
He slowly closed the oiled paper bag of caramel, his drooping eyelashes cast a shadow, and said softly, “In that case, how about I give you a chance to choose?”
