MTL - After Waking up Beside the Villain-Chapter 199 After 10 years of retreat, I became number one in the world 13 girls...
"Senior Xie, the owner of the house is back and is waiting in the Huanhua Hall."
A footstep from far to near interrupted the conversation between Xie Chengyun and Xie Zixuan.
Xie Zixuan knew that Xie Chengyun would want to see Ning Shou's injury with his own eyes, so when Xie Chengyun had just replaced Xie's guard as a guard, he went to the front yard to visit Ning Shou Tiancheng, but Ning Tiancheng happened to go out and didn't return until this time.
As soon as I returned to the mansion, I heard that Xie Zixuan had invited me, and Ning Tiancheng hurried to the guest house without even changing his clothes.
"Ning Tiancheng is very polite."
Xie Chengyun raised his eyebrows.
Xie Zixuan smiled and shook his head: "The small family has its own way of survival. If there is no deterrence from the Xie family, how could the Ning family have such a good foothold in this huge Jinling city? Ning Tiancheng is not a pedantic If it weren't for the fact that the Zheng family and the Baili Shui Gang had a grudge against them for killing their close friends, he might not be able to bow down to them."
"Let's go and see you."
Speaking, Xie Zixuan got up first and pushed the door out.
All the way out of the yard, came to the Huanhua Hall, still far away, Xie Chengyun saw an elegant middle-aged man who was pacing left and right in the hall, looking mixed and full of thoughts Man, this is the head of the Ning family, Ning Tiancheng.
"Mr. Xie."
"Patriarch Ning, it's been a long wait."
Ning Tiancheng saw Xie Zixuan's figure at a glance, then smiled, and hurriedly greeted him, his eyes swept over Xie Chengyun, who was accompanying him, and didn't stop there.
The two exchanged a few words with a smile, and Ning Tiancheng was no longer concerned about Xie Zixuan's comfort with food and clothing, but showed some doubts and asked, "Mr. Xie is looking for peace today. So, what do you need to tell me?"
Xie Zixuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "It's nothing important. I just heard that Young Master Ning's injury has improved and he has woken up, so he wants to visit him. Patriarch Ning also knows that Doctor Gao is a scholar. My ancestor is also a royal doctor for three generations, and I have an arrogance in my heart, and it is difficult to accept the matter of Linglang Zhongxie, but this time I am here because of Linglang's injury, and no matter what, we should not ignore it."
"Whether that Rong Xiaodao can cure Linglang or not, Xie and Doctor Gao should do their best."
Ning Tiancheng looked a little flattered, and quickly said: "Mr. Xie is serious!"
Still unable to accept the diagnosis and treatment of Rong Xiaodao, Ning Mou is also very grateful to Mr. Xie and Dr. Gao."
Xie Zixuan said: "Patriarch Ning is polite. I wonder if it is convenient to visit Linglang at this time?"
"Convenient, naturally convenient."
Ning Tiancheng replied with a smile, got up immediately, and led Xie Zixuan to the backyard.
Soon, the group arrived at Ning Shou's residence, and as soon as they stepped into the yard, they saw the door of the main house creaking, and a boy with a medicine box bent over He walked out first, and then stepped out a young Taoist priest with a sword on his back and a whisk in his arms.
Xie Chengyun glanced at the young Taoist priest and recognized that what he was wearing was indeed the Taoist robe of a disciple of Taixuguan, which should be Rong Ange.
They also knew a lot, but Rong Ange couldn't compare with them at all.
At least, most of the disciples of the famous sects and the Taoist priests who advocate the nature of Taoism will not be arrogant and complacent.
While Xie Chengyun was observing Rong Ange covertly, Ning Tiancheng had already started a conversation with Rong Ange. When Xie Zixuan had seen Rong Ange before to exorcise evil spirits, he also greeted him at this time.
Rong An was humble and gentle on the surface, but his arrogance was not well concealed, and he had no respect for the two seniors, Xie Zixuan and Ning Tiancheng. He didn't seem to want to talk too much with Ning Tiancheng, he just briefly talked about Ning Shou's situation today, urging the wedding ceremony to be arranged as soon as possible, and he didn't talk much about the rest and left.
"Rong Xiaodao, thank you for your hard work."
Rong Ange threw off the whisk and smiled indifferently: "Patriarch Ning is too polite, nothing else matters, I just hope Patriarch Ning can help me find my senior brother as soon as possible."
"Yes, yes."
Ning Tiancheng kept sending people to the gate of the courtyard, then turned around and came back, apologized to Xie Zixuan, and asked Xie Zixuan and Xie Chengyun to enter Ningshou's room.
There are two servant girls in the room. Ning Shou, the eldest son of the Ning family, is lying on the bed. In the extremely hot dog days, there is still a thick quilt on his body.
Xie Chengyun looked out from Xie Zixuan's side, and saw Ning Shou's face like golden paper, his brows were black, his eyes were open, but sometimes they were empty, sometimes confused and mad, his eyes The changes are uncertain, very strange, and the arms and shoulders that exposed the edge of the quilt are also shaking slightly, spasm, as if out of control.
At first glance, Ning Shou looks like a dying person.
But Xie Chengyun could sense that the qi and blood on Ning Shou's body were still extremely strong, not like someone who was dying, nor like someone who was seriously injured and bedridden.
Rao is Xie Chengyun who is well-informed and has never encountered such a situation.
"Although Ling Lang has regained consciousness, it seems that he is still unable to control himself?"
Xie Zixuan looked at Ning Shou and said tentatively.
He doesn't even know how to swallow the rice water. Rong Xiaodao said that he still has to be happy to bring back his birthday."
Xie Zixuan and Xie Chengyun exchanged glances, and then asked, "Would the poor Liu family be willing to marry a daughter?"
Ning Tiancheng smiled wryly: "Shou'er has become like this, and the poor family is unwilling. The person sent came back with the marriage certificate and quit the relationship. Ning went out for the past two days, They are all looking for old friends to help me, looking for a woman of the right age who is willing to marry my son, since Daoist Rong didn't mention the birth date, it probably doesn't matter, as long as someone is willing to marry, my Ning family can agree to any request."
"But it's really hard to find the right person. If it doesn't work, then you can only buy a poor woman."
You don't even need a pair of birthday horoscopes, which is completely different from the usual Chongxi.
Governing Law.
"The person who attacked Linglang hasn't been caught yet?" Xie Zixuan asked again.
Hearing this, Ning Tiancheng's eyes flashed a strange color, but his face was more bitter, and he shook his head weakly: "I got nothing."
Speaking of this, the atmosphere became a little heavy and stagnant, Xie Zixuan sighed, comforted Ning Tiancheng a few words, and then went to check the infuriating movement in Ning Shou's body. Not staying much, he took Xie Chengyun to say goodbye and returned to the guest house.
As soon as he returned to the room, Xie Chengyun said: "I once heard from friends on the rivers and lakes that Ning Shou is different from Ning Tiancheng. The Lengyuehandao, but entered the Suihanmen to learn swordsmanship, and also trained personal servants to practice together as a future swordsman."
"It can be seen that this little servant and Ning Shou must have a close relationship and are inseparable, but just now I was in Ningshou's room, but I only saw two servant girls, not this little girl. Servant, second uncle, do you know the whole story?"
Xie Zixuan was stunned, he really didn't pay attention to such trivial matters.
But now that Xie Chengyun asked, he also remembered the gossip he heard from the whispering servants before: "I seem to have heard the servants of the Ning family say that Ning Shou has just been taken When he came back, before he fell into a coma, he went mad once and injured the person who was caring for him. The injury was not serious, so the Ning family sent him home to recuperate."
After a pause, Xie Zixuan frowned and looked at Xie Chengyun: "You have replaced the person who is close to you, Chengyun, do you suspect that Ning Shou's abnormality is related to the secret method of the puppet, he Are you deliberately cleaning up people who know him very well?"
"Maybe, that little servant knows something and can't speak to the outside world."
Xie Chengyun lowered his eyes and said softly: "When I came, I had already inquired about the situation of Ning Shou and the Jianghu guest during the test that day. The Jianghu guest came from a small school in Huaizhou. , there is no problem with his identity, he also suffered a lot of injuries after the test, he has been recovering in the inn, never went out, the doctor of the hospital and the people in the inn can testify, so there is no doubt about him."
"Ning Shou, after the competition that day, was deeply affected and depressed, so he did not go with others, but went down the mountain alone, saying that he was going to relax."
"According to the martial arts people who were present at the time, when Ning Shou left, his valet hurriedly chased after him, but he didn't have enough power and seemed to be thrown away, but he did follow go up."
"And Ning Shou was rescued in time. The vendors near Ning's house also said that they saw people who hurriedly knocked on the door of Ning's house that day, and then the Ning's family went out in a hurry. I brought back Ning Shou. So Ning Shou is not as Ning Tiancheng said, but he disappeared for too long after the test, which led the Ning family to look for him, but someone found out that he was seriously injured and came to report it. "
"I suspect that the first person to find out that Ning Shou was attacked was this little servant who followed up. After that, he took Ning Shou down the mountain and asked someone to come to the Ning family to report the news. It also makes sense.”
"If this is the case, then this little servant can be said to have saved Ning Shou's life, and the benefactor was accidentally injured. According to common sense, the Ning family should stay in a noble family style. It's just right to take care of the little servant. In the family, most of these close people are family children, and this little servant was sent out of the house, but I don't know which home he returned to. "
"It's better to hide something than to let him rest."
Only a little servant can think so deeply, Xie Zixuan looked at Xie Chengyun and was a little stunned.
After a while, he smiled helplessly: "It is worthy of being the number one white dragon, and worthy of being the only hope of my Xie family... Chengyun, your thoughts, compared with the second uncle, can make the second uncle feel It's like living in vain at an age."
With a sigh, Xie Zixuan said: "But most of what you said is just speculation and needs to be confirmed. Since you have an idea of your own, the second uncle will give full support and be willing to be your subordinate. General."
Xie Chengyun smiled at Xie Zixuan, and said, "Then I'm not welcome, Second Uncle, please come with me in secret and check the little servant. I'm sure, my guess is 90% true, and that little servant must be protected by a master."
"Aren't you afraid that he will be silenced?" Xie Zixuan said.
Xie Chengyun shook his head, his deep and deep eyes were slightly bent, revealing a youthful and clear but penetrating peace and tranquility: "Ning Tiancheng is not killing innocent people indiscriminately."
Xie Zixuan nodded: "Tonight?"
Xie Chengyun said: "The sooner the better. In addition, I have to bring a beauty who knows how to seduce people's souls, so that some truth can be found out."
Xie Zixuan raised his eyebrows slightly, feeling that Xie Chengyun's tone seemed a little unusual.
The beauty who was curious about Uncle Xie, just had dinner with Zheng Yuchen, and ended a battle of intrigue with the other three beauties.
Three women play a game, eating this meal is really more tiring than playing a hundred games with Fang Jingyou. But fortunately, this meal can be considered a harvest.
Chu Yunsheng met two other girls from the Western Guest House at the dinner table, one named Qian Min and one named Ling Aoxue.
The two are also friends Zheng Yuchen made when he traveled around the arena. Since they were both in Jiangzhou and heard about the Zheng family, they all came to comfort the heartbroken Zheng Yuchen and paid tribute to the old master Zheng by the way. .
Compared to Zhao Lingrui who Ji Ling is pretending to be, although the two of Qian Ling are more caring and caring for Zheng Yuchen in their words and deeds, they don't see too many men and women being ambiguous. On the surface, it seems to be deliberately pretending, a little weird.
And Chu Yunsheng, Ye Wanwan, was like an outsider who entered the stage by mistake, and neither side welcomed him.
On the surface, Qian Ling and Qian Ling were very friendly to him, but they were secretly vigilant and scrutinized.
Zheng Yuchen didn't know if she really didn't know the lawsuit, or if she pretended to be stunned.
Zheng Yuchen saw Chu Yunsheng leaving and wanted to send them off, but Chu Yunsheng categorically refused.
Jinling City twilight.
Walking all the way back to the guest house, Chu Yunsheng deliberately pretended to be lost, found a servant to ask for directions, and by the way made some remarks, inquired about Zheng Yuchen's situation after returning from his travels and the old family owner's violent death. What an exception.
But apart from the news that a young patriarch has grown up, is more sensible and stronger than before, the old patriarch is ecstatic and no longer punishes the young patriarch with family law, there is no other discovery. .
Back in the yard, Chu Yunsheng practiced the knife for an hour, polished the exercises for another hour, and waited until it was completely dark before taking a bath and changing clothes, ready to fall asleep.
However, just when Chu Yunsheng was about to turn off the lights and go to bed, a maid suddenly came to knock on the door.
"Miss Ye, have you rested? Miss Zhao from the next yard brought pastries and wanted to invite you to enjoy the moon and drink. Look..."
Ji Ling invited him to admire the moon?
Chu Yunsheng raised his eyebrows slightly, his intuition was ghostly.
But it also happened to suit his wishes. Someone would bring a pillow when he fell asleep. He just wanted to find a chance to test Ji Ling. Whether it was the Youxian who might exist behind Ji Ling, or the Sword of the Son of Heaven on her body, and the purpose of her incognito in the Zheng family, Chu Yunsheng wanted to find out.
—He was absolutely sure that this was Ji Ling, temperament and dress could be changed, but infuriating and breath were hard to change. He had seen the phantom in his original body, and naturally remembered that phantom was released when it was dissipated. breath.
In addition, through today's meal, Chu Yunsheng realized that the current situation in the Zheng residence's guest house is like an unexpected stone falling into a pool of muddy water , No one knows the purpose of the stone, but the water in this pool is even more muddy.
The two sat down in the small pavilion beside the rockery, Ji Ling placed the cakes while sending back the servant girl, and smiled softly at Chu Yunsheng: "Sister Ye, this sweet-scented osmanthus flower The cake is made by my sister, it is sweet and not greasy, brother Yuchen likes to eat it very much, you should try it."
Chu Yun nodded without touching the cake.
Seeing this, Ji Ling poured two more glasses of wine and handed one to Chu Yunsheng: "Sister Ye, this is the famous wine of Jinling City, it is sweet and delicious, not intoxicating, I I like it very much, so brother Yuchen gave me a lot of altars for you to try."
Chu Yunsheng nodded again, but raised his hand to hold the jug he had brought, and poured another glass of wine.
Ji Ling's face became a little stiff, she lowered her head and said, "Sister Ye, you sit so far away from Lingrui, but you dislike Lingrui?"
Chu Yun said: "Women don't accept kisses. When you go out, you must also be virtuous."
Ji Ling was stunned for a moment, gritted her teeth and smiled, with blue veins popping out of her forehead: "Sister Ye has a lot of rules at home."
In fact, there are bad husbands in the family, and there are many rules.
Chu Yunsheng thought to himself, but did not answer.
The booth was in a stalemate.
Chu Yunsheng knew that Ji Ling had a purpose in coming to him, and would not be so easily frustrated and left, so he was not in a hurry, he poured himself a drink, and started drinking slowly.
Sure enough, not long after, a resentful sigh suddenly sounded in the pavilion.
Ji Ling held the wine cup, leaned against the stone table like a little daughter, and said with a sad face: "Sister Ye, I know you don't like Lingrui, and Lingrui also has self-knowledge. The beauty is not as good as one of my sister's fingers."
"So sister Ye doesn't have to hate me. Although I have some affection for brother Yuchen, my admiration for him is my business and has nothing to do with him. If my sister really likes brother Yuchen, my sister also When you leave, you won't do anything that will damage the relationship between the two of you."
"I can see that, although it is only half a day, brother Yuchen treats you differently from us. He has affection for you."
Chu Yunsheng: "…"
He seems to be drinking wine, not tea, right?
A moment of silence.
Chu Yunsheng slowly loosened the unknowingly clenched fists under the table, and followed with a sigh with great sadness, and said softly: "Miss Zhao, there is a real relationship between Zheng Yuchen and I. It's nothing, you misunderstood us. I just admire his character and want to be friends with him. I really don't know why he is special to me. If you mind, I will leave after the funeral, so you won't be embarrassed."
"I hope you don't annoy the Zheng family because of this. I really don't want to destroy your relationship."
Ji Ling stared at Chu Yunsheng for a while, and immediately raised the corners of her mouth a little stiffly and smiled: "Hehehe how could it be, then... Sister Ye means, you take it The post came to visit the Zheng family, is it really just passing by when traveling around the world, to pay homage to the old family owner, not for the old family owner's last words?"
Chu Yunsheng showed just the right amount of surprise and doubt: "The last words of the old master?"
Ji Ling stared at Chu Yunsheng for a while, but did not catch the unnecessary expression, he seemed disappointed and smiled relaxedly, and explained: "Old Patriarch Zheng was in the Choosing a relative for brother Yuchen, the last words on his deathbed are also shouting hoarsely, hoping that brother Yuchen will not be filial, and give birth to the next generation for the Zheng family as soon as possible to continue the incense. He also asked the heads of the other two houses to give the unborn Your child is arranged to be a Dharma protector, are you surprised?"
Chu Yunsheng was keenly aware of Ji Ling's joking about the last words, so he said, "So, you and the other two girls are here to marry Zheng Yuchen?"
Ji Ling shook her head, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Wrong, they are, I am not."
"Then what is Miss Zhao here for?"
Chu Yunsheng picked up the glass, took a sip, and followed Ji Ling's words, as if asking casually.
But he didn't expect that the wine in his mouth had not yet entered his throat, so he saw Ji Ling looking left and right. After confirming that there was no one around, he leaned closer, lowered his voice, and said: " Sister Ye, I wonder if you have heard of a secret puppet technique?"
Chu Yunsheng was stunned for a moment, but his face was calm: "I haven't heard of it, what is this?"
