257. Because I want to beat him(1/2)
On the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, the spring is chilly.
The nameless villa in the clouds outside the four square cities of Dongyang Kingdom was covered with mourning. Last night, Leng Yuling, the second lady of the Leng clan, died tragically. Everyone in the Leng family was alarmed. In order to find Jinliancheng, no one closed his eyes all night.
At dawn, the news that Jin Liancheng was found was spread throughout the Wuming Villa. Many people originally believed that Jin Liancheng, the culprit who caused the second lady of the Leng family, Leng Yuling and the third lady of the Leng family to kill each other, must have paid Leng Yuling's life. However, Jin Liancheng lived in the forbidden area of the back mountain, and Leng Ze also arranged for the Leng family doctor to heal him.
Although the other people in the Leng clan didn't understand, they didn't do anything. After all, Leng Ze was the head of the Leng clan, and everyone listened to him. Leng Yuling's mother cried and made a fuss to let Jin Liancheng bury Leng Yuling, and said she would tear Nangong Wan to pieces. However, Leng Ze asked Leng Lie to give her a bowl of calm soup, which made her fall asleep.
"Father, what exactly is the senior in the back mountain going to do?" Leng Lie's face was not good.
When Leng Lie had become a relative and had both children, he hid his identity and deceived Nangong Li to join the Nangong family of the Divine Doctor Sect, with the purpose of helping the Leng family go to the Divine Doctor Sect to find clues to the Divine Doctor Sect.
However, Leng Lie did not find any clues about the Divine Soldier Order in the Sect of the Divine Doctor. He became a disciple of Nangong Ye and learned a lot of medical skills and poison skills. Nangong Li gave birth to a daughter Nangong Wan for Leng Lie. It seemed that the family of three was harmonious and warm. However, one day, Nangong Li saw Leng Lie secretly entering Nangong Ye's study and searching for something.
Nangong Li became suspicious, but she didn't want to believe that her beloved husband was approaching her with a purpose, so she pretended to be silent and did not show anything. Then, without any trace, let Nangong Ye arrange an opportunity for Leng Lie to go out for missions.
Leng Lie left the Divine Doctor Sect, and Nangong Li sent two elders with the strongest martial arts skills to follow him secretly, staring at his every move. Leng Lie, who did not notice that he was being followed, thought that he had returned to the nameless villa in Dongyang Kingdom without knowing it, and reunited with his wife and children.
When Leng Lie returned to the Sect of the Divine Doctor, Nangong Ye put down a puppet Gu and explained everything. This was a bolt from the blue for Nangong Li. She thought her husband loved her, but in the end, the so-called encounters were carefully designed, and the so-called deep affection was a scene. Their combination was set by Leng Li from beginning to end!
Nangong Ye wanted to kill Leng Lie and go to the Leng clan to ask for an explanation. However, Nangong Li was heartbroken, but she couldn't bear to see Leng Lie die because she really loved Leng Lie too much.
Finally, Nangong Ye broke Leng Lie's arm and drove Leng Lie away, making Leng Lie swear to never step into the genius doctor's sect again in this life, and was far away from Nangong Li's and his daughter. There were not many people in the genius doctor's sect, and they were all secretive. Even Nangong Wan didn't know who her father was before Nangong Li died.
Leng Lie wandered between two women and two families, but Nangong Li and Leng Lie's original wife had never met before, so naturally there was no fight. The grudge between them broke into their respective daughters Nangong Wan and Leng Yuling, which eventually led to the sisters killing each other, one dead and one crazy, and the ridiculous thing was that their sisters fell in love with the same man, which led to the tragedy.
I have to say that some things have their own causes and effects. The Leng family thinks that the culprit of Leng Yuling and Nangong Wan's tragedy was Jin Liancheng. But if you look further, all this was the evil fate that Leng Lie planted back then, and he ended up suffering retribution.
Leng Yuling died tragically last night. Leng Lie's wife wanted to kill Nangong Wan to avenge Leng Yuling, Leng Lie stopped her because Leng Lie finally realized that Nangong Wan was also his flesh and blood after the accident. He pushed all the blame on Jin Liancheng. He thought Leng Ze would definitely make the decision to kill Jin Liancheng, but he didn't expect Leng Ze did nothing. Jin Liancheng still lived in the back mountain in a dignified place, and someone was serving him!
Leng Lie didn't understand. He knew that the person in the forbidden area of the back mountain was a very strong man who was loyal to Leng Ze, but even Leng Lie didn't know what the person wanted to use the Leng family to do.
Hearing Leng Lie’s question, Leng Ze frowned and said, “I have already said this for my father many times. When you should let you know, my father will tell you!”
Leng Lie was obviously a little dissatisfied, but he always said what Leng Ze said, so he fell silent.
"I told my father that I would reward Leng Xu and Leng Han. You can prepare some and send them over." Leng Ze said to Leng Lie. Leng Xu and Leng Han were the grandparents and grandchildren who found Jin Liancheng.
"Yes." Leng Lie lowered his eyes slightly and nodded in response.
Not long after, Leng Lie took two servants, each holding a box in his hands and entered a quiet small courtyard in Wuming Villa.
Leng Lie had no mood to greet Leng Xu's grandson, so he put down his things and left.
Leng Xu is a side branch of the Leng clan. He was originally not highly valued in the Leng clan. Otherwise, his only son Leng Sifang would not have been sent by Leng Ze to the Beimo Kingdom to guard the treasure house they believed to have been there for twenty years, and finally died there, without even finding the body. Leng Han is Leng Sifang's son.
Leng Xu, who is in the nameless villa, is naturally not the real Leng Xu, and Leng Han is also fake. In the eyes of others, he was lucky to have "picked" Jin Liancheng and brought back. Leng Xu and Leng Han, who have made a contribution, have died at the foot of the mountain, and their bodies have turned into ashes. They are indeed "lucky" because they met Qi Ying and Xiao Xinghan as soon as they got off the mountain.
Before the real Leng Xu and Leng Han died, in order to survive, they explained their names and lived in the Leng clan, and they had their usual habits. Then, Xiao Xinghan took off their clothes, killed them with two swords, and used bone-transforming powder to destroy their bodies. Qi Ying felt a little cunning when he saw the scene at that time.
Xiao Xinghan disguised Qi Ying and himself separately. Qi Ying pretended to be Leng Xu, Xiao Xinghan pretended to be Leng Han, and his figure was similar. Then, Jin Liancheng, who was poisoned and fell down the mountain and fainted, naturally sneaked into the unknown villa.
"Xinghan, we can't stay here for too long. It's best to rescue Mu Yan before being seen." Qi Ying did not look at the things Leng Lie sent, but closed the door and said to Xiao Xinghan with a serious expression.
Xiao Xinghan was distracted, as if he hadn't heard Qi Ying say anything. He looked at a vase not far away, but he wasn't really looking at the vase.
"Xinghan." Qi Ying called Xiao Xinghan again, and Xiao Xinghan reacted and looked at Qi Ying.
After Mu Yan disappeared, Qi Ying saw the joy in Xiao Xinghan's eyes for the first time, but the joy flashed away, replaced by uneasiness. Xiao Xinghan frowned and looked at Qi Ying and said, "Master, I want to be my father."
"This is a good thing." Qi Ying nodded slightly. They already knew that Mu Yan was pregnant, and they learned it from Jin Liancheng, who had been involved in the puppet Gu.
"But I'm afraid" Xiao Xinghan looked very uneasy.
Qi Ying heard the word "fear" from Xiao Xinghan's mouth for the first time. He sighed slightly and patted Xiao Xinghan on the shoulder: "It won't be a problem, let's be careful."
"I deserve to die." Xiao Xinghan suddenly clenched his fist, "It doesn't matter to me whether he has a child, but I actually put Yan'er in such a dangerous situation. She knew that she would be very scared when she was pregnant? She was afraid that the child would be hurt because I was not by my side, and it took so long to find her."
The tense string in Xiao Xinghan's heart was on the verge of breaking when he learned that Mu Yan was pregnant. He could not imagine how Mu Yan came by alone these days. He forced himself to calm down until he pretended to be Leng Han and deceived Leng Ze, and then stayed in this small yard with Qi Ying. When there was no outsider, he dared to let himself think about Mu Yan and think about the next plan. However, when he thought of Mu Yan having their children in his stomach, there were certain surprises, but more of self-blame, anxiety, and deep guilt towards Mu Yan.
"Xinghan, you are the one who knows Mu Yan the best. You know, she will never blame you. She will definitely be happy with a child, and you should be happy too." Qi Ying sighed and said to Xiao Xinghan, "Don't think that this child came from the wrong time. This is God's will and fate."
"I know." Xiao Xinghan said in a low voice, "Take it tonight!"
Qi Ying and Xiao Xinghan came in as a lie. Although their disguise and disguise seem to be flawless, they cannot know what Leng Xu and Leng Han have experienced and how they get along with everyone in the Leng family.
The reason why the two have not been exposed until now is that there is no one around the real Leng Xu and Leng Han grandson. Leng Sifang has been away for many years, and his wife was unable to bear the loneliness and seduced another man of the Leng family ten years ago. After the love was exposed, both of them were executed. Leng Ze and Leng Lie did not focus on Qi Ying and Xiao Xinghan because of Leng Yuling's death, so they did not find something wrong with them.
But they had to interact with the Leng family next time, and it would be only a matter of time before they could expose it, because the information about the other people in the Leng family from Jin Liancheng, Leng Xu and Leng Han grandson was very limited. In such a hurry, they could only recognize several important people in the Leng family. Once they went out and met other people in the Leng family and couldn't even call their names, they would inevitably be revealed.
Therefore, they must start the battle as soon as possible, otherwise they will be prone to long nights and dreams.
For Xiao Xinghan, what is more important is that he wants to see Mu Yan, and he wants Mu Yan to return to him safely. In fact, he doesn't want to wait any longer.
Qi Ying looked upright and said to Xiao Xinghan: "Did you have a plan?"
This time, Qi Ying really felt Xiao Xinghan's power. People in the world think that Xiao Xinghan's most powerful thing is medical skills, martial arts, and his talent for generals, but Qi Ying thinks that Xiao Xinghan's most outstanding thing is his mind.
In this regard, Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan are very similar. Qi Ying believes that even if Mu Yan is not free now, she will never live a hard life. She must have a way to make her situation better as much as possible. She must have a trump card to save her life. Even if Xiao Xinghan doesn't come and Mu Yan can't get out, she can at least protect herself.
Xiao Xinghan nodded, and then told Qi Ying about his plan.
After hearing this, Qi Ying pondered for a moment and said to Xiao Xinghan: "The plan is fine, it is very meticulous, but in the end you asked the teacher to take Mu Yan's girl away. After you get off, the teacher doesn't agree! If you change it, you take her away, and the teacher will cover you up behind you!"
Xiao Xinghan shook his head: "No, I won't let my master take such a big risk."
"Xinghan, in terms of martial arts, you are not your opponent to your master now. Staying for the last one is the safest one. Don't fight, just decide!" Qi Ying looked at Xiao Xinghan and snorted coldly, "I haven't met an opponent for many years. This time I will meet your master!"
Xiao Xinghan frowned, was silent for a moment, and did not insist anymore. He just told Qi Ying that he should be careful and take care of himself.
After the plan was finished, everything that should be prepared was ready. Qi Ying saw Xiao Xinghan lose his mind again and must have been thinking about Mu Yan again. He sighed slightly and said nothing. In fact, Xiao Xinghan was able to suppress himself and did not rush to find Mu Yan immediately. Qi Ying felt that this required a lot of willpower. Mu Yan was the one who was arrested, but Xiao Xinghan was the most tormented one.
The back mountain of the unknown villa.
It was almost noon when the old woman brought the food, put it down and left.
Mu Yan, as usual, first made sure that the food was not drugged, and then started to eat it. She is eating more now than before. In the past, she was alone, and she could not eat it when she was not hungry, and she could endure it when she was hungry. But now she still has a baby in her belly, and she needs to ensure that she consumes enough nutrition every day.
Although the child is only two months old and still can't feel it, Mu Yan likes to talk to the child, and just silently says in her heart that she calls the child "Xiao Xiaohan". As for whether it will be a son or a daughter, she never thought that everything is good.
After Jin Liancheng told Mu Yan that Xiao Xinghan was coming, Mu Yan seriously thought that Jin Liancheng was just going to meet Xiao Xinghan down the mountain. Then, in order to save her, Xiao Xinghan and Jin Liancheng calmly discussed the possibility of cooperation, but her conclusion was that such a thing would not happen.
Jin Liancheng was resentful of his broken arm. He had suspected that Mu Yan had done it before. After asking Mu Yan, Mu Yan denied it, Jin Liancheng knew that it was Xiao Xinghan's work. This made Jin Liancheng, who had always been hostile to Xiao Xinghan, even more hated Xiao Xinghan. For Mu Yan's reasons, these two men were definitely the kind of jealous when they met, especially Jin Liancheng.
Mu Yan thought seriously about how Xiao Xinghan could make Jin Liancheng agree to be poisoned and fall down the mountain and make it miserable. The answer was that Jin Liancheng could not agree, so he let Xiao Xinghan make him so embarrassed. So Mu Yan guessed how Xiao Xinghan made Jin Liancheng surrender. The most direct, most ruthless and cruel way was of course the puppet Gu.
Because Xiao Xinghan needs to understand the situation in the Wuming Villa, Jin Liancheng refused to say obediently that the purpose can be achieved by using the puppet Gu. After the Gu was removed, Jin Liancheng was powerless to resist and was tortured by Xiao Xinghan and poisoned and fell down the mountain. Then he was unconscious and brought back. When he woke up, if his mind was not broken, he would know what choice he should make.
Mu Yan believed that Xiao Xinghan was not from alone, but if she wanted to get in, there would be at most two or three people, and there would inevitably be Qi Ying. Only such a combination can rescue Mu Yan while ensuring her own safety.
Jin Liancheng rushed over from next door to express his feelings to Mu Yan, obviously doing it deliberately. His purpose was to convey to Mu Yan the news of Xiao Xinghan's arrival. This is actually very important, because Mu Yan would not be so passive when she knew about it. She could make some secret arrangements to cooperate with Xiao Xinghan's rescue.
However, Mu Yan did not think that Jin Liancheng had compromised with Xiao Xinghan. To put it bluntly, Jin Liancheng was paving the way for him under the current situation. He was forced to stand on the same boat with Xiao Xinghan, and then opposing Xiao Xinghan would not do him any good. Xiao Xinghan successfully rescued Mu Yan, so Jin Liancheng would have the chance to escape.
Jin Liancheng sent a message to Mu Yan, and was also showing kindness to Mu Yan, because Jin Liancheng knew that Xiao Xinghan might not let him go afterwards, but after he did this, Mu Yan would let him go. The reason was very simple. Mu Yan has always been a person with clear grudges, and he is not as cruel as Xiao Xinghan.
Mu Yan thought about it carefully and felt that Xiao Xinghan and Qi Ying would probably do something tonight. After Mu Yan had dinner, the old woman cleaned up the dishes. Mu Yan went into the inner room and went to bed to rest before she left.
After the old woman left, Mu Yan stood up again and took off a small bag from the beam on the top of the bed.
When I opened the bag, there were all kinds of jade ornaments inside, not big, including black jade, purple jade, green jade, and white jade. These exquisite little things were all hidden weapons that Mu Yan had secretly made these days. In the corner of the room, the piano that Xiao Xinghan's master gave to Mu Yan, was not played in the past few days. It was covered with a piece of silk cloth, and the old woman did not show that there were few strings missing. It was taken away by Mu Yan and used in the hidden weapons she made.
In the evening, the old woman brought the food again, put it down and left.
Mu Yan sat at the table, looking at the plate of fried chicken legs that looked golden and crispy in front of her, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
Mu Yan silently picked up the chicken leg at the bottom, then tore it apart, and pulled out an oil-soaked piece of paper from it. The two words "Waiting for me" were written on it, which were Xiao Xinghan's handwriting.
Xiao Xinghan probably didn't know that Jin Liancheng had told Mu Yan about his coming, but Mu Yan was still surprised when she saw these two words. She said silently: "Xiao Xiaohan, I have done this with your father once before, and almost made your uncle so salty that it caused your uncle to cry when he saw the chicken legs given by your father."
Of course, Xiao Xiaohan could not respond to Mu Yan. Mu Yan cooked the paper, then drank a bowl of porridge, ate some vegetarian dishes, and felt that he was eighty-minute full, so he put down his chopsticks.
Mu Yan opened the door, the old woman standing at the door came in and put away the dishes and went out.
After Mu Yan closed the door, she took off the fire jade bracelet on her wrist, opened the secret wall on her inside, took out the pills inside, and took it. Even though she was pregnant now and was not suitable for martial arts, it was necessary to restore martial arts. At least she could use light skills, and when she was absolutely necessary, she could only do it.
Mu Yan took off the box on the top of the bed and put all the hidden weapons inside on her body. She wore a total of six rings on her hands, which looked quite unique.
Then Mu Yan looked up and down at herself, feeling that her internal strength had almost recovered. She breathed a little relieved and felt a little safe. Next, she just had to wait for Xiao Xinghan to come and pick her up.
It is dark and midnight is coming.
It is said that the moon is sixteen on the fifteenth day, and this day is the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. The night sky above the mountains of clouds covers the moon and the cold wind is bleak.
Most of the people of the Leng clan have fallen asleep, sleeping peacefully, dark blood slowly flowing out from their eyes, nose, mouth and ears, but they have no feeling at all, and they have a faint smile on their faces, as if they have had some beautiful dreams.
The curtain of the bed was hanging, Mu Yan lay on the bed with her eyes open, feeling someone entering her room, her steps were very light and getting closer, and finally stopped beside the bed.
"Xiao Hanhan, hug me." Mu Yan said softly.
The next moment, the bed curtain was pulled away by Xiao Xinghan, and Mu Yan fell into a warm and familiar embrace. She felt that the little uneasiness in her heart for several days also dissipated at this moment.
"Xiao Hanhan, I miss you very much."
"I miss you even more."
"You're going to be a father."
"Well, I know, it's a son."
"How do you know it's a son?"
"Because I want to beat him up."
