Hidden Blade Chapter 3: Night Chang’an
As soon as these words were spoken, the temperature in the already gloomy Ningguo Mansion dropped a few minutes again.
Ye Chengtai and his wife looked at Xu Han, their faces changed again, and a heavy panic suddenly appeared on their eyebrows.
"Madam is a side branch of the Prince Mu’s Mansion, and even the aunt of the eldest son of the Mu’s family who doesn’t know his life or death. Although Zhu Xian only wiped out the family of the Mu’s family back then, he wants to come to Hou Ye for the suppression of the collateral family over the years. I have a deep understanding of how Zhu Xian is, Lord Hou should know better than me." Xu Han said in a calm manner.
But Ye Chengtai and the woman inside the house are getting more and more ugly.
Ning Guohou’s wife, who is also Ye Hongjian’s mother, is called Mu Yin Yin, a side line of the Mu family. At that time, Zhu Xian used to suppress the Mu Wang’s mansion with very strong means, but after all, the Mu family has a big family and a side line. Or, like Ning Guohou, existed almost all over the city of Chang'an, and even several princes had close contacts with the Muwangfu that year.
Zhuxian naturally had some scruples, so he only killed the Mujia clan, and the rest of the people were not held accountable, but they have tried every means to suppress them over the years.
Ning Guohou is a prince of the party at any rate, and it has nothing to do with it that he can get into such a sloppy situation.
"Linglong Pavilion has been guilty with the imperial court recently, and it’s almost torn apart. Lord Hou thought that with Zhuxian’s mind, he would really let the relationship between Lord Hou and Linglong Pavilion be more effective? In Zhu Xian's heart, the entire Ningguo Hou Mansion has long been labeled Tiance Mansion and Mu Family because of his wife's relationship. Lord Hou has been in Chang'an for so long. This is the truth, right?"
Xu Han said like this, the smile on his face was even greater, but the gazes at Ye Chengtai and Mu Yinyin were cold.
Ye Chengtai and Mu Yinyin looked at each other at that time, and both saw a look of horror in each other's eyes.
They are not stupid, they were just dazzled by joy because their daughter soared into the sky, and after all, many years have passed since the matter of the shepherd palace, they didn’t even think about it. At this moment, they heard what Xu Han said, Suddenly thought about it thoroughly.
"So what? Chang Ye Si is not trustworthy, is Tiance Mansion trustworthy?" But after all, Ye Chengtai has been up and down for many years, and it is impossible to believe him simply because of Xu Han's words.
"Tiance Mansion?" Xu Han shook his head. "Hou Ye seems to understand something wrong, I can't represent Tiance Mansion, I only represent Xu Han."
"What's the difference?" Ye Chengtai frowned. He didn't like such literal conversations.
"Is there any difference? I said that Master Hou would naturally not believe it, but Master Hou only needs to know that the lady is going to Linglong Pavilion, and I have to go too, and I have to go, but without the lady, I can’t go to Linglong Pavilion. So, Master Hou can trust me completely, that’s enough.” Xu Han met Ye Chengtai’s gaze at that time, his expression was firm, the light in his eyes was clear, and Ye Chengtai’s heart was shocked. It was actually there. Suspicion can't be born for a moment.
There is another long silence.
Ye Chengtai looked at Xu Han with a calm face for a long time, and finally sighed.
"I understand, the son will withdraw, I will ask someone to arrange a place for the son." After saying that, he waved his hand, and there was an attendant outside the hall. Under Ye Chengtai's instructions, he led Xu Han. Going back.
"Then I will wait for the news of Lord Hou." Xu Han didn't press too hard, after all, it was about Ye Chengtai's daughter, and the other party should hesitate. Therefore, he arched his hands at that time, let the attendant lead him, and withdrew from the main hall.
When Xu Han left, only Ye Chengtai and Mu Yinyin were left in the hall.
"Husband..." Mu Yinyin stepped forward at that time, calling out with some worry.
"These years, I have dragged you down and Hong Jian...Now that Zhu Xian..." she said without guilt. Mu Yinyin couldn't fully let go of the Mu Family's catastrophe. But she was a woman, without half an inch of her cultivation, and she was unable to change anything. On the contrary, it hurt her husband's family and even her daughter. But Ye Chengtai hasn't been dissatisfied with her for more than half of these years.
Ye Chengtai heard this, and then he came back to his senses.
He turned his head but saw his wife's face full of depression at the moment, he felt a pain in his heart, and hurriedly hugged it into his arms.
"Madam, don’t think too much, you and I are husbands and wives, sharing honor and disgrace. Moreover, the king of shepherd is full of loyalty, and he died really wrongly. Although I am weak, I can’t face the Holy Spirit, but I won’t be in the same way as Zhu Xian. ..." At this point, Ye Chengtai paused, his eyes drifting away, and finally turned into a touch of decisiveness.
"Since he Zhuxian has not let us go, I, Ye Chengtai, simply fight for this life, and I must protect my wife and Hongjian!"
He said so, and his resolute voice rang back and forth in this room.
......
The night in Chang'an City is no different than in Youzhou.
On the contrary, it was Hou's fragrant pillow Luo quilt who made Xu Han feel uncomfortable. He turned out to be in bed for a long time without feeling drowsy.
"Meow!" The black cat sleeping beside him was awakened by Xu Han's actions. It uttered a whisper of dissatisfaction, and then squatted lazily, and looked at Xu. Han, the big amber eyes were filled with doubts, as if he was really questioning Xu Han.
If an outsider sees such a humane look, he will be secretly claiming to be surprised, but Xu Han has already adapted to this.
and Cang Hai Liu rushed to the Great Yuan Mountain for half a year, coupled with the nine months of learning skills with the master, he and the black cat can almost be said to be dependent on each other, and there is no gap between them.
Xu Han smiled apologetically at that time, then reached out his hand to touch the black cat's head, and said softly: "You go to bed first, I want to go for a walk."
, Xu Han got up from the bed, then sorted his mind, and was about to go out.
"Meow!" Who knows that the black cat uttered a soft call again, and before Xu Han understood its meaning, his body turned into an afterimage and fell on Xu Han's shoulder.
Xu Han was taken aback.
then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Well, let's walk together."
Xu Han and Ye Chengtai were unhappy with each other. Only he and Ye Chengtai knew it well. Others looked at them and thought Xu Han was a distinguished guest. Naturally, no one in the mansion dared to stop him. Xu Han went out of the courtyard smoothly.
The time has come to Haishi.
Changing to other towns is already dead at night.
But Chang'an City is still very lively.
The wine shops on both sides of the street are in constant flow of guests, and some drunk people are still talking about these things.
is either hardship or bragging.
There are so many things in the world, and that's probably the case.
Xu Han walked silently, his eyes swept over the faces of the drinkers.
That master also likes to drink, but he is not always drunk at every drink like the ocean stream. He has been studying art with him for the past nine months, and he has to drink a small pot almost every night.
, in his words, is—drunk and floating in the sky, slightly drunk and cool.
No matter what, the ocean currents, or the master of Tiance Mansion, to Xu Han, they are the kind of people he can't understand.
They all seem to be chasing something, and they all seem to be worried about something.
But they never said, nor did Xu Han ask.
Only half a month ago, the master left a letter telling Xu Han to take it to this Chang'an city to find Ning Guohou, and then disappeared alone.
Xu Han didn't know where the Master was and what he was going to do.
But he was very upset.
Because the expression on the face of the Master when he left was exactly the same as the moment Cang Hai Liu boarded the Great Yuan Mountain.
But in the end he still came to Chang'an with that letter.
Although his arm has been connected, it is the arm of a certain Xu Han who can't be named, the ancient monster clan great sage, how can it be controlled so easily?
He still needs to go to Linglong Pavilion to find some medicinal materials that are unique to Xuanhe Peak to temper them to alleviate the harm caused by the majestic demon power in this arm. It’s just this matter, not as a master. It's easy to do. According to the previous plan, Xu Han needed to find a way to go to Linglong Pavilion. Now it was because the Master suddenly had something urgent, and he advanced the plan some time.
"Run! Will you try another run for me?"
Just as Xu Han was thinking about this, there was a burst of cursing in front of him.
yanked Xu Han back from his thoughts. He looked up, but saw that not far ahead, several burly men dressed in attendants were scolding a middle-aged man with a disheveled hair. road.
"Master, next time, next time I will bring the wine money, you will spare the little ones!" The middle-aged man was full of alcohol, listening to what he said, it should be because he didn't give it. Because of this, the wine money was besieged by these little servants in the restaurant.
Xu Han shook his head. He has seen a lot of people like this. Almost every wine shop has to have some people gagging. He walked around to avoid this before "fighting."
"Next time? Is your grandfather's drunk red building a place where you can go wrong?" The strong man headed scolded ~IndoMTL.com~ his attitude was extremely arrogant, he looked around, and said with a vicious expression: "Call me!"
As soon as he said this, the group of young men surrounded him, without any scruples, they punched and kicked the middle-aged man.
The next sound is naturally the scream of the middle-aged man killing a pig.
Xu Han, who had already walked several meters away, didn't care. He was a little hungry after walking for a long time, thinking about finding a clean restaurant to eat something.
Only then did he take his steps, but he suddenly stretched out his hands behind him and hugged his feet tightly.
"I still want to run, today I won't beat you half to death, I won't open this drunk red building!" The sturdy man's scolding sounded immediately, and several young men gathered around again.
Xu Han now sees that his hands are astonished as the drunk who had been beaten up before, and ran behind Xu Han's thighs. , Obviously he was also scared of being beaten.
"Uncle, help me." The middle-aged man looked at the close servants, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly asked Xu Han for help.
Xu Han frowned. He didn't get involved in such nosy. He moved his feet and tried to get rid of the drunkard, but the drunkard clearly understood that he would have to take off the upper half of his skin even if he did not die in the hands of those little servants. He naturally didn't want to, so he used all his strength to die. Hugging Xu Han deadly.
At this time, those little servants have already rushed to the front, Xu Han's eyes have a chill, and he needs to use a bit of strength.
The drunk seemed to have a reaction. At that time, a carp stood up suddenly and pointed at Xu Han.
"Brother, brother, I finally waited for you, now, these are these people, I helped my brother take care of them!"
