The little marquis who acted all kinds of arrogant and arrogant in front of Ye Shu was actually controlled by a girl who didn't know how to cultivate.
Balian wanted to laugh when he saw how worried he was and was sweating profusely. This young marquis was obviously sincere in his feelings.
It’s just that I don’t know how to please my sweetheart, so I choose the stupidest method. If I like someone, I will try every means to attract her attention.
Like a peacock with its wings spread, it tried its best to flutter around in front of her in all kinds of flashy ways, using its airy gestures to cover up its inner nervousness and cowardice.
This little Marquis, is he a child?
But the mute girl is obviously no longer a child. Apart from being annoying and counterproductive, Balian can't think of any other purpose in his behavior.
As soon as Lin Zheng retracted his foot, there was a loud bang, and the wooden door slammed shut, causing dust and dust to fly everywhere.
This commotion caused pedestrians to stare at each other. Lin Zheng stood at the door in embarrassment. He scratched his head, looked left and right, like a fool, then wandered to the table and stove, picked up the empty bowl and started
Serve bean curd.
Balian thought he was going to eat it, but unexpectedly he gave the servings of beancurd to the waiting guests one by one, saying with a dead face: "It's two cents in total, thank you for your patronage."
It was obviously the first time in his life that the guest who was waiting for his meal had been served and served by such a noble man. He was stunned for a moment and hurriedly handed over two copper coins with shaking hands.
Only then did Lin Zheng's expression improve a little. He put the two coins into the small drawer under the stove, and then prepared to collect the empty bowls on Balian's table.
"I said you've seen enough excitement, so you should go early after eating... huh? Brother Si Chen!!!"
The rag in Lin Zheng's hand fell to the ground with a loud bang, and his eyes almost fell out: "Why is it you!"
Baili Anxin asked whether this was a case of running through iron shoes without finding a place. Just when he was about to ask the mute girl how to get to the Lin family's Hou Mansion, the owner of the Hou Mansion took the initiative to send her to her door.
"Brother Lin, long time no see."
Lin Zheng was excited for a moment: "Is it really you, Brother Si Chen?"
He was so happy that he sat down next to Balian, patted his shoulder and laughed: "I knew you had the ability to escape from the devil world. It was great to see you safe and sound. At that time
I heard that the female devil took a liking to you and wanted to take you as the prince’s wife, but she scared everyone out of their wits. I really can’t marry that female devil who is always ready to kill people. Fortunately, I’m lucky!”
Balian said helplessly: "As for the matter in the demon world, I hope you, Brother Lin..."
"I understand, I understand." Lin Zheng interrupted with a smile: "I, Lin Zheng, am not an ungrateful person. I will not say a word to others about what happens in the devil world. But Brother Sichen, you also know that what is going on in my house is
That leaf book, he is in the earth veins..."
Balian smiled slightly and said: "Brother Lin, don't worry, I have never taken the magic city's leyline, and I don't know anything about what happened in it."
Lin Zheng couldn't help laughing when he saw him being so righteous: "Brother Si Chen, you are really a lovely person. By the way, when did you come to Yunzhong? You didn't even come to sit in my house.
Ye Shu, with his dead face, keeps talking about you in front of me day and night, and coming to my territory, doesn’t this allow us to fulfill our duty as landlords?"
Lin Zheng's enthusiasm was not just superficial courtesy. Baili'an was grateful to him for saving his life several times. It was not unknown to Lin Zheng that he sacrificed himself that day for everyone to get a chance to return to the human world.
He was so grateful that he thought he would never meet again in this life, but he never expected to meet him by chance on the street today. He was so pleasantly surprised that he wanted to take him on a tour of Yunzhong, the thousand-year-old ancient capital.
"To be honest, I am here to see Brother Lin for your help."
Lin Zheng was stunned. Seeing that Bailian's expression was indescribably solemn, he also put away his smile and said seriously: "Brother Si Chen is in some kind of trouble?"
Balian explained to him in detail what had happened recently, hoping that he could help find the entrance to the underground city as soon as possible.
"Underground city?" Lin Zheng looked stunned and slowly frowned.
Seeing this, Bai Lian asked: "What? Is there any difficulty?"
Lin Zheng smiled bitterly and said: "According to common sense, it is not difficult for people like me and others with the title of Marquis to visit the underground city, but my Lin family is a bit special for that place."
"special?"
Lin Zheng nodded and said helplessly: "Brother Si Chen doesn't know that the underground city has shadows in all countries. It can be said to be an underground mysterious country hidden in the dark by all countries. They sell all kinds of human nature.
, intelligence and secrets. When my father was alive in the early years, he felt that this underground city was like a rat in a ditch. He said, "A cold foot makes people sad, and resentment hurts the country."
It is precisely because of the existence of the dark city that legislation cannot be as stable as a mountain and cannot stabilize the world. The underground dark city is a cancer and the root of people's resentment. Back then, my father led his own soldiers to disguise themselves into the dark city and wiped it out in one fell swoop.
The foundation and stronghold of the country were severely damaged.
Since then, for more than ten years, as long as my father has been around, the forces of the dark city have been unable to reach into the territory of Zeguo. It was not until my father died of a serious illness that the underground dark city reappeared in Zeguo."
Lin Zheng was helpless and embarrassed when he said this. He glanced at Bailian with a deep apology and said: "It's not me who refuses. In Kyoto, Zeguo, our Lin family is one of the few families that radically opposes the dark city. Nowadays, all countries
Among them, almost all the slightly powerful nobles have interests linked to the Dark City, and no one is willing to disturb the muddy waters of the Dark City.
For them, the underground city is a place that can satisfy their interests and desires. On the contrary, we noble families are struggling in the dark city and really have no way out."
Bai Lian could tell that Lin Zheng was not lying. If what he said was true, the Lin family would still have a grudge against the underground city. Based on this, Lin Zheng really couldn't be of much help at this time.
Lin Zheng felt extremely guilty when he saw that he rarely asked him for help, but was unable to do anything about it.
His enthusiasm was not diminished at all, and he said actively: "How about this? When Brother Si Chen first came to Yunzhong, he settled in my house first. Although my Lin family has no way to help you enter the dark city, I can secretly help you."
Let me help you ask other family forces."
"That's fine." Balian nodded in agreement, but he didn't have high expectations in his heart.
When the water is clear, there will be no fish. A noble family like Lin Zheng, who inherits the title and is conferred the title of saint, is the most loyal to protect the country.
Such a family has always taken state affairs very seriously, far more than private interests.
And he could find out that the well-connected family members were mostly engaged in shady underworld activities in the dark city, so how could he stupidly introduce this young Marquis Lin.
If the Lin family is given another chance to take the blame for the secret city, it will greatly damage their own interests. Who will be willing to pay attention to him, and everyone will be angry.
The night was already dark, so Lin Zheng simply helped the mute woman clean up the stall, set up the seats, took a high-grade topaz from her waist, and hung it on the front door of the mute woman's house.
Bailian Ben was also curious about whether he was not afraid of passers-by stealing his beautiful jade.
Lin Zheng smiled and said that in Kyoto, everyone recognized his family's jade pendant, and in the East Market, there were countless ruffians.
The mute girl's name is Chang'an. She was orphaned at a young age and has been mute since she was a child. She is most pitiful.
Those idle hooligans in the market love to bully such unaccompanied women.
Not to mention that Chang An is still a mute. She eats for free on weekdays, and even if she is forced to collect some protection money, she can't even report it to the official.
Lin Zheng put his jade pendant here, and he knew who was protecting the woman living in this small wooden house, so he did not dare to bully her at will.
Balian didn't realize that Lin Zheng could treat a mortal woman with such care. He just didn't understand how his infatuated treatment could arouse Chang'an's disgust.
Could it be that Chang'an already has a lover or a husband in his heart, so he is disgusted by Lin Zheng's all kinds of fawning and care?
Regarding this statement, Lin Zheng smiled and said it was impossible.
If an orphan selling bean curd had already been married and had a husband, how could her husband have the heart to leave her alone in poverty and coldness?
Not long after Bailian and Lin Zheng left, the fireworks on the Qiaotou River gradually cooled down. As the clock rang, martial law came down in Kyoto, and the ancient streets and alleys reflected the majestic turrets.
This thousand-year-old capital adds a bit of chilliness.
The pedestrians playing in the street dispersed amidst the sound of whistles, and at the end of the long and cold street, two dogs barked.
The night breeze cleared my clothes, bringing with it a slight smell of blood.
In the night when the hustle and bustle of the capital gradually receded and returned to tranquility, a tall and thin figure walked slowly.
The wind rolled up the blood-stained sleeves, picking up drops of blood, and scattered them on the bluestone ground. Ye Shu walked through the long streets and alleys, came to the wooden stall, and habitually threw his sword at the door.
In the firewood pile by the wall.
He raised his hand and was about to knock on the door when the topaz tassel hanging in front of the door fell on his bun and swept gently.
Ye Shu's movement of knocking on the door froze slightly. He took two steps back and looked up at the jade pendant that was blown by the wind.
His face was already pale, but under the moonlight, his profile looked even colder. He lowered his head unnaturally, took off the jade pendant from the front of the house, and held it in his hand.
Creak——
The sound of hurried footsteps and the sound of the door opening suddenly sounded, and a ray of dim candlelight illuminated his pale cheeks and dark brows through the crack of the wide open door.
In the candlelight room, Chang An's face was slightly flushed due to anxiety. She looked at Ye Shu outside the door, as if she had seen someone who made her extremely shocked and extremely happy.
Chang'an is used to living alone, and is always wary of outsiders, and his ears are very amazing.
When she heard the familiar sound of throwing swords outside the door, she ran as fast as she could. She was wearing the small clothes she wore when sleeping, with a plain bellyband looming at the lapel, and her hair was messy.
If you take a closer look under the moonlight, you will see that she is indeed a fragile and pitiful little beauty.
She was panting slightly, as if she couldn't catch her breath, and looked at Ye Shu intently with her bright eyes, as if she missed a glance.
Ye Shu looked normal, looked down and said calmly: "It's cold in the winter, wear shoes."
Chang'an stood there blankly, as if he was caught by a sudden surprise and couldn't react.
Ye Shu sighed, took off his robe and was about to put it on him, but then he thought of the blood on his body, frowned, and put his clothes back on.
Only then did Chang An notice the red blood stains on his body, his delicate eyebrows furrowed in worry, and anxious tears welled up in his eyes.
She stretched out her hands to pull his clothes to see the injuries on his body.
But Ye Shu held her hand and refused to let her touch it.
He led her into the house, closed the wooden door with his backhand, and asked her to put on her shoes, socks, and outerwear.
"Bring me a bucket of water. It's so late, so there's no need to go to the trouble of heating the hot water. I can just wash myself."
Ye Shu entered the house, as if returning to his own home, and began to look for clean clothes.
Chang'an hurriedly put on his shoes and outerwear, but quickly brought him a bucket of hot water, undressed him, took off his belt, and carefully helped him take a bath.
Ye Shu looked at the bucket of hot water quietly and knew that this silly girl was probably waiting for him to come back, so she had prepared hot water day and night.
He got into the water and sat in the barrel. The wounds on his body were so painful as the hot water soaked him. Ye Shuwei frowned and quickly adapted to the pain. A layer of light sweat evaporated from the tip of his nose, and he whispered: "Your body
No, you don’t have to burn firewood and hot water every night.”
Chang'an ignored him, sucked his tears, shook his hands, and wiped his back carefully.
The clear water in the barrel has long been dyed red.
There were countless wounds on his body, and some of them were so bloody that they could easily tell that he had gone on an extremely dangerous mission for the young Marquis of the Lin family.
On the other hand, the young marquis, who is delicate and expensive, spends all day fighting cocks and dogs in the city with nothing to do.
Changan really hated this man from the bottom of his heart!
During the bath, Ye Shu took two tonic pills, and his pale complexion improved.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just adjust your breath. He stretched out his hand to condense a black ice needle and handed it to Chang'an wordlessly.
Chang'an seemed not to notice, pursed his lips tightly, and just lowered his head to rub shoulders with him.
"Chang'an." Ye Shu's tone suddenly became a little harsh.
Chang'an's shoulders trembled slightly, and tears finally burst into his eyes.
She silently took the black needle, groped for a moment with her thin fingers on his back, then moved towards a key point, like a dragon's eye, and quickly and steadily inserted it in, completely submerging it.
Ye Shu clasped the barrel tightly with his fingers, and even his teeth began to tremble. His scarred body in the water was trembling, and the veins on his forehead popped out. Even the slightest movement affected the whole body. The huge pain that ripped apart the bones was not at all
The body and soul are all numb as much as the will can bear.
The pain was so extreme that Ye Shu thought he could hold back and keep silent by relying on his own will, but at some point, his own brutal roar echoed in his buzzing ears.
He couldn't see anything for a while, and the pain was so painful that the entire spiritual platform collapsed. He didn't know how long it took for his vision to turn black and confused before he finally returned to reality.
At this time, he could no longer hear his screams.
Because there was blood and warmth in his mouth, it was not that he had bitten his lip, but that Chang An had stretched one of his wrists into his mouth, and it was bitten so bloody that the bones could be seen.
Ye Shu no longer had the energy to scold her. He opened his mouth like a dead man. His thin and almost shriveled chest seemed to have been drained of his body, rising and falling slightly. His sternum was thin and clear, and he looked like a ghost!
His neck suddenly tightened, but Chang An hugged him hard from behind, and the back of his neck felt warm and moist.
Even when she cried, she cried silently.
"Is it done?" Ye Shu's voice was hoarse, and when he spoke, his whole voice was filled with sweetness.
Chang'an slowly raised her head and looked at the black line pattern on his back that was slowly taking shape, gradually taking on the outline of a spiritual key. She nodded, indicating that it was done.
But looking at the look on her face, she was worried, but she couldn't be happy at all.
Ye Shu snorted with a thick nasal voice. He was very tired. He stood up with difficulty and put on his coat: "Help me get on the bed, and I will give you medicine."
Chang An quietly helped him get on the bed. When Ye Shu was about to give her medicine, she shook her head and silently held out her wrist.
The slender wrist is thin and easy to break, but the skin is smooth and there are no signs of injury anywhere.
Ye Shu's pupils condensed into lines with force, and his breathing became somewhat disordered. He closed his eyes in pain.
Chang'an quickly patted the back of his hand to indicate that it was okay.
Ye Shu took a deep breath, opened her wrist, and felt slightly relieved when he saw that there were no traces of beetles on her arm.
"It seems that the mother Gu planted in your body by those beasts of the Demon Sect is only in its infancy and has not yet fully awakened. You don't have to worry. I will go to the dark city tomorrow and I will definitely find a way to suppress it.
Will..." Ye Shu's eyes were dark and frighteningly cold: "I won't let you be like me."
Changan nodded vigorously and gestured to express that since he was back, she was naturally not afraid of anything.
Ye Shu was silent for a long time, then suddenly took the jade pendant and whispered: "Has he been here today?"
Chang'an's expression froze, and he explained anxiously with gestures: A month ago, he came to my stall to eat bean curd once, and helped me teach a few ruffians a lesson. Since then, he has come more frequently. I listened to you, I know.
With my identity, I will never take the initiative to provoke him and cause trouble for the Lin family. You believe me!
"Why should I not trust you?" Ye Shu put the jade pendant away and said calmly: "I will return the jade pendant to him in the future. He will naturally understand everything and will not pester you again."
Chang'an's eyes were bright, he nodded happily as he looked at him, and quickly gestured with his hands: "Then you have to return it to him quickly, I don't like this person."
Ye Shu hummed and put out the candle: "It's late at night, you should go to bed early."
After a long separation, Chang An obviously didn't want to go to bed so early. In this rare quiet night, she wanted to talk to him for a while, so she held his arm and lay down beside Ye Shu, gently pressing her fingers into his palm.
Write down today's experience.
Ye Shu seemed impatient to answer, and closed his eyes as if falling asleep. But when her fingers wrote the key information, his eyes suddenly opened.
Ye Shu turned his head and looked at Chang'an, and asked with surprise and surprise: "You mean, a man named Si Chen came to Yunzhong? He said he wanted to ask Lin Zheng to help him enter the dark city?"
Did he leave the demon world alive?!
Chang'an wrote in his hand: What? Do you know him?
This was the first time she had seen Ye Shu lose control of his emotions.
Ye Shu's expression was serious: "If his demon pet wanders to the dark city, it must have been bought by the buyer. Si Chen's search is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack. It is inconvenient for the Lin family to come forward and no one can help him. No, tomorrow I will
I have to go to the Lin family."
Chang'an looked surprised. In her impression, Ye Shu had a calm and calm temperament and didn't care about everything and everyone. This was the first time he cared so much about someone.
She couldn't help but feel a little bit amused and wrote: You are so nervous about him, maybe this person is very important to you.
Ye Shu slowly raised her head and closed her eyes, and then to her surprise, she saw Ye Shu laugh. The gentle laughter contained indescribable peace and gratitude.
His voice was very soft, and it actually sounded a little happy: "He is the relative who rescued A Niang. There are very few people in this world who can make me feel kind. Do you think I should be nervous about him?"
Something?"
Chang'an's expression changed slightly, and the fingers that were writing continuously in his palm slowly curled up, as if he had lost his words. If you like Long Night Walk, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Long Night Walk search novel website updates at full speed
