264. Let him kneel before me!(1/2)
On the night of February 15th, the Xiao Mansion of Leiyang City, Tianli Kingdom.
The moon was very round and bright, and a layer of silver shine on Li Yue. The mid-spring night wind was a little cool, blew up Li Yue's ink hair behind his head. He quietly sat cross-legged on the roof of the main courtyard of the King Xiao's mansion, with his eyes slightly closed, as if he had become a sculpture.
Just after midnight, Li Yue opened her eyes and quickly closed her eyes. He heard someone walking down there, as if the secret room was opening. Li Yue was not worried that Xiao Yuesheng would escape, because he thought that after seeing the gap in strength between Qi Ying and Wu Fang, Xiao Yuesheng would be willing to follow them away. This is a choice that a man who pursues strong strength would inevitably make. As for the deep love between husband and wife, he obviously did not believe it in Li Yue.
Xiao Yuesheng had entered the secret room of the study and walked along the tunnel to the Xiao family Tibetan Medicine Deposit. The key to the Tibetan Medicine Deposit was originally there. Mu Yan once wanted to hand it over to Xiao Yuesheng, but was rejected by Xiao Yuesheng. However, after Mu Yan was rescued by Xiao Xinghan before, Xiao Yuesheng took the initiative to leave the key to the Tibetan Medicine Deposit, and he said he was going to find some medicinal materials to use.
At this moment, the key was still in Xiao Yuesheng's hands. He used the medicinal herbs he had found before to put down Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan and sent them away. Now, he is going to find some other medicinal herbs.
When he arrived at the entrance of the Tibetan Medicine Deposit, Xiao Yuesheng took out the ink-colored wooden hairpin from his arms, opened the door of the Tibetan Medicine Deposit, and walked in.
When Xiao family Tibetan Medicine Deposit enters the door, there is a colorful pool of water, beautiful but fatal toxicity. The pool is raised in the colorful Shura flower. Previously, Xiao Xinghan picked up a mature Shura flower, and now there is another bright, blood-red petal and ink-colored stamen on it.
Xiao Yuesheng walked around the pool and began to look for the medicinal materials he wanted to use in the Tibetan medicine warehouse.
Finally, Xiao Yuesheng stayed in the Tibetan Medicine Deposit for a whole hour before leaving. He was carrying a bag in his hand. When he left the secret room, he placed the key of the Tibetan Medicine Deposit in a secret compartment inside the secret room and did not take it away.
Xiao Yuesheng sat back behind the desk, put down the bag in his hand, rubbed his eyes, and two lines of clear tears slid from the corners of his eyes, and a strange purple luster appeared in his eyes. He blinked his eyes a few times, then closed his eyes, paused for a while before opening them again. The quiet eyes were like a deep pool of ink colors, and there was nothing unusual.
Xiao Yuesheng picked up the pen again, and Qi Yuchan's cute little round face appeared in his mind. He sighed slightly and wrote four words "Little Fat Girl".
Xiao Yuesheng wanted to write a letter to Qi Yuchan, but after writing the four words, the tip of the pen stopped there, and I didn’t know what to write. Let Qi Yuchan wait for him to come back? But when will he be able to come back this time, and even whether he can come back is a question.
Xiao Yuesheng did not hesitate when he sent Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan away, and he did not regret it now, but he still felt deeply reluctant in his heart, because he thought about it. He had been away for so many years and had not been back home for many years. He had accompanied Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan too few times. Now he had a girl he liked, but he was going to travel far away and his future was uncertain...
In his letter to Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan, Xiao Yuesheng could also write calmly that they could take good care of Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan, and tell their parents that he would come back safely because he knew that with Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan, even if something really happened to him, Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan would not fall down.
But Xiao Yuesheng wanted to write a letter to Qi Yuchan, and hesitated when he started writing. He didn't want to tell Qi Yuchan to wait for him to come back, because if he couldn't come back, he hoped that Qi Yuchan would find a good man to marry and forget him sooner. Even at this moment, Xiao Yuesheng was a little glad that he had not confessed his love to Qi Yuchan seriously and formally, and they did not make a private life. That's all, it's better...
Xiao Yuesheng crumpled the paper with the words "Little Fat Girl" written in his hand, holding it in his hand, but his eyes were filled with gloom. Even though he told himself not to regret it, he still felt very uncomfortable at this moment, because he had experienced loneliness. When he was beaten by Qin Xiang when he was a child, he went all the way to the Divine Doctor Sect and was starving and cold on the way to the Divine Doctor Sect. When he was hiding in the cave, he was trembling. Even though there were many people around him, he still felt alone...
It is precisely because of the experience of loneliness that when Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan found Xiao Yuesheng and took Xiao Yuesheng home, Xiao Yuesheng knew what true happiness was.
Xiao Yuesheng likes his name. He likes Xiao Xinghan, a slutty brother who appears to be cold but actually cares about him very much. He likes the clever and cheerful younger brother-in-law Mu Yan, who he can't help but want to spoil. He likes his kind and generous father Xiao Yuanqi, his gentle and beautiful mother Ning Ruyan, he likes his well-behaved and cute sister Xiao Xinyue, he likes his brother-in-law Su Ji, who always dislikes him, and all his friends and relatives around him. On the day Mu Yan came back, Xiao Yuesheng sent someone to send a message to Xiao Yuanqi and Ning Ruyan, telling them that Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan had returned home safely. He also told them in the letter that he would pick them up in person in person in the past few days. This year, he would marry a wife and be a father next year...
Now, things are moving to an unpredictable and uncontrollable level. All Xiao Yuesheng can do is to try his best to protect this family. If someone must leave, he would rather be him, but he is not because he has no worries, but because he has too much worries and cares too much, so he is afraid that they will be hurt.
I don’t know how long I sat there, but Xiao Yuesheng still didn’t pick up his pen and wrote a few words for Qi Yuchan because he was afraid that his promise would not be fulfilled.
As Chen hour approaches, it is already dawn, and someone knocks on the door: "Your Highness, it's time to go on the road." Wu Fang's voice.
Li Yue, who was sitting on the roof, opened her eyes and flew down gracefully, her eyes as cold as before.
The next moment, the door slowly opened, and Xiao Yuesheng walked out of it, wearing a dark blue cloak. The dark patterns on the cloak were very delicate, and a small "Xiao" was embroidered on the collar. This was a New Year gift Ning Ruyan made to Xiao Yuesheng by himself. Both Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan, and Qi Yuchan also had one.
Xiao Yuesheng was wearing Xiao Xinghan's face, and Xiao Xinghan's iconic silver mask on his face. Xiao Xinghan's sword was still hanging around his waist. He wore an ink-colored ring on his finger, which was a hidden weapon made by Mu Yan with his own hands. A small crescent moon was carved on his back. He was carrying a long bag on his back, and there was a piano inside. It was the first time he met Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan. The last mo jade zither he won with Mu Yan at the famous doctor conference in Fanxing City, Beimo Kingdom, was thrown in the sect of the genius doctors for a long time. Later, Mu Yan sent someone to pick it up and sent it back a few days ago.
"Let's go." Xiao Yuesheng looked at Li Yue with a cold expression and said.
Li Yue lowered her eyes slightly: "Please, Your Highness, please."
"Xinghan!" Qi Ying and Mu Lin appeared at the door. Seeing Xiao Yuesheng flying away, Qi Ying couldn't help but scream.
Xiao Yuesheng turned around and looked at Qi Ying and Mu Lin with a calm look, saying, "Tell Yan'er, let her wait for me, I will come back to pick her up as soon as possible. There is a letter to her in the study, and I must hand it over to her."
"My sister will go find you!" Mu Lin looked at Xiao Yuesheng with deep eyes and said. He wanted to tell Xiao Yuesheng that Mu Yan and Xiao Xinghan would definitely bring him back.
Xiao Yuesheng was silent, but Li Yue turned around and looked at Mu Lin, took out a sheepskin roll from her sleeve, threw it at Mu Lin, and said coldly: "This is a chart. If your sister has the ability to go to Tianming Kingdom, I will advise the emperor and let her continue to be the woman of His Royal Highness."
After Li Yue finished speaking, Xiao Yuesheng's eyes turned cold, and he shook his hand and slapped him hard: "Li Yue, from now on, remember, I am the prince, my woman, you are not qualified to say a word!"
Li Yue suddenly lowered her head, covering half of her face that was beaten, and her breath was extremely cold.
Wu Fang glanced at Xiao Yuesheng, lowered his head and said respectfully: "Your Highness, the National Master is considering it for the sake of Your Highness."
"When will you, a slave, have the right to speak?" Xiao Yuesheng said coldly at Wu Fang.
Wu Fang's expression froze and he kept silent.
Mu Lin held the parchment in his hand tightly and looked at Li Yue coldly. He knew that Li Yue's words meant that Mu Yan was not worthy of Xiao Xinghan, and he was not qualified to be Xiao Xinghan's princess that day, and he was not even qualified to be Xiao Xinghan's woman. The chart that Li Yue threw to Mu Lin was not giving Mu Yan a chance to go to Tianming Kingdom, but humiliating Mu Yan high above.
Although Xiao Yuesheng is not Xiao Xinghan, he cannot tolerate anyone talking wildly to his favorite younger brother and sister. Since he has decided to follow Li Yue, he must let Li Yue know that he is the one with the highest status and the one who makes the decision, which is in line with Xiao Xinghan's domineering personality.
So Xiao Yuesheng slapped Li Yue without hesitation. No matter how much worse his strength is than Li Yue, he has never lost in terms of momentum from the beginning to the present. On the one hand, he really hates Li Yue, and on the other hand, he is also for the long-term consideration. Li Yue is so arrogant. If he does not directly and rudely destroy Li Yue's sharpness, his actions will be restricted by Li Yue everywhere in the future, which will be very unfavorable for him.
The kneeling last night and the slap in the face of Li Yue, Xiao Yuesheng established his majesty as the prince in front of Li Yue. Li Yue is very proud, so Xiao Yuesheng is even more arrogant than him. Xiao Yue knew that as a minister, if Li Yue wanted to succeed in the mission and not be affected after returning to Tianming Kingdom, he had only one choice now, which was to swallow his anger.
"Your Highness, please go on your way!" Li Yue said coldly.
"You, go and take out my prince's luggage." Xiao Yuesheng looked at Wu Fang and said.
Wu Fang nodded and carried a large box into the door. Li Yue frowned when he saw the box: "Your Highness, we need to leave on the road. Carrying so much luggage will delay the trip."
"What? Are you two very strong? Just one box can delay your speed?" Xiao Yuesheng said coldly, "It contains my changing clothes and the medicine I bring, and you can't miss it. As for how to take it away, you can do it!"
"Sir, I have no problem with the luggage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." Wu Fang quickly spoke to Li Yue, obviously he didn't want any conflicts between Li Yue and Xiao Yuesheng because of a box.
"Let's go." Xiao Yuesheng flew up and headed out of the Xiao Prince's Mansion. Li Yue followed closely behind, and the short and thin Wu Fang followed with a big box.
Qi Ying watched Xiao Yuesheng's figure disappear from sight, frowned slightly, and looked hesitant: "Do you want to notify Xinghan and Mu Yan immediately?"
Mu Lin looked at the sheepskin roll in his hand and sighed deeply, "I don't know either." They all knew that Xiao Yuesheng did all this for Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan. If Xiao Yuesheng went there, once he was revealed that he was not Xiao Xinghan, he might never come back. But at this time, tell Xiao Xinghan and Mu Yan that there is no doubt that neither of them would let Xiao Yuesheng leave instead of Xiao Xinghan, and Xiao Xinghan would not follow Li Yue. At that time, if Li Yue came hard, they would face the masters of Tianming Kingdom, which were many times more dangerous than Yin Jian.
"I am leaving now to Penglai Island." Qi Ying turned to Mu Lin and said, "I know I cannot act rashly. Even if Yue Sheng is really going to be taken away in the end, I will go and see him off in person. You have to take this chart and go find Xinghan and Mu Yan. When you see them, tell them the whole thing."
"Yes, Grandpa Qi." Mu Lin nodded solemnly. Xiao Yuesheng had done so much, so they could not do anything rashly. To disrupt Xiao Yuesheng's plan, it would be even more dangerous for Xiao Yuesheng.
Qi Ying soon disappeared, and Mu Lin also left soon, and only a few sword dragon guards were left in the entire Xiao Palace, as if he was back to the deserted appearance before Mu Yan got married.
Li Yue said that time was very tight and he had to go forward as fast as possible. Xiao Yuesheng had no objection to this. Not only did he ask Wu Fang to carry the big box all the time, but after leaving Leiyang City, he also threw his mo Yuqin to Li Yue, asking Li Yue to help him carry it on his back, and he set off on the road lightly.
After two days of leaving, Xiao Yuesheng noticed that someone seemed to be following them. The man was always very careful and never got very close. Although Xiao Yuesheng knew that neither Li Yue nor Wu Fang had seen the real Xiao Xinghan, Xiao Yuesheng did not relax his vigilance and pretended to be Xiao Xinghan at all times, and his words and deeds did not show any flaws. Even though he knew that Li Yue might not know so much, he needed to ensure that everything was foolproof.
In the evening, they rested by a river.
Xiao Yuesheng sat cross-legged under the tree. Wu Fang took dry food and the snacks he bought in the previous city and placed them in front of Xiao Yuesheng. He then took the water bag to the river and fetched clean water. Li Yue sat not far away.
Seeing a dark-colored corner of clothes flashing ten meters away, Xiao Yuesheng's eyes shrank slightly: "Li Yue, haven't you noticed that we were being followed?"
Li Yue stood up slowly and said to Xiao Yuesheng: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, that is a subordinate of the Wei minister. He is not following us. Maybe if there is anything to report to the Wei minister, I will come if I go."
Li Yue walked away after he finished speaking, but Xiao Yuesheng did not follow him.
In the dense forest of spring, birds sing and flowers scented. Li Yue walked to a safe distance, stopped under a tree, and said coldly: "Come out."
The next moment, Jin Liancheng flashed out from behind a big tree, looked at Li Yue politely and said, "Congratulations to Master Li for successfully inviteing His Royal Highness from Tianming Kingdom to leave together."
"What are you doing again?" Li Yue looked at Jin Liancheng and asked.
"I have a question in my mind. Master Li does not seem to ask the prince to use medicine to restore his purple eyes. How can Master Li be sure of this? Is he the real prince of Tianming Kingdom?" Jin Liancheng said to Li Yue.
"His appearance has proved his identity. You should understand his personality. He will not obey my mercy." Li Yue said indifferently.
"Haha," Jin Liancheng chuckled, "Yes, this is Xiao Xinghan's character. But I don't doubt the identity of Xiao Xinghan's prince in the Ming Kingdom. I don't doubt that the person Li took away was not Xiao Xinghan at all!"
Li Yue's eyes cold: "Why do you say that? Most of my master's understanding of Xiao Xinghan comes from you. So far, my master has not found anything wrong."
"Although I didn't dare to enter the Xiao Prince's Mansion that day, I saw Master Li Yue leaving alone early the next morning, and there seemed to be no fight. With this, I have reason to suspect that that is not the real Xiao Xinghan." Jin Liancheng said seriously, "Because Xiao Xinghan I know, it is absolutely impossible for me to leave Mu Yan and go with you alone. In my opinion, Master Li Yue must use tough means to take him away, and even make him lose consciousness."
"Jin Liancheng, do you still want my national teacher to use amnesia medicine on Xiao Xinghan?" Li Yue looked at Jin Liancheng and said coldly.
Jin Liancheng nodded and shook his head: "Master Li, of course I hope he will lose his memory, but this is not the reason why I came to Master Li. I kindly reminded Master Li to be careful not to bring a fake prince back. Master Li may not end at that time. Some things that you see may not be true. Master Li believes that Xiao Xinghan, who is walking with you, has no flaws, but he will follow you so calmly, which is the biggest flaw in itself!"
"My master understands that you always think that the girl you like also fascinated Xiao Xinghan and let him give up everything." Li Yue looked at Jin Liancheng and said coldly, "But my master doesn't think so. What Xiao Xinghan wants more is strong strength. This is His Royal Highness of the Crown Prince of Tianming Kingdom! As for that woman, it's far from being able to let Xiao Xinghan give up everything. It's just that Xiao Xinghan had no other choice before, and you look down on that woman too highly!"
Jin Liancheng frowned: "Li National Master, let's discuss things. You are biased against women and have a biased understanding of Xiao Xinghan. I have fought with him for many years, and I know him better than you. It is absolutely impossible for him to leave you like this!"
"Maybe he really cares about that woman, but even for the safety of that woman, he knows that it is wisest to follow us." Li Yue said coldly.
"Does Master Li not believe my judgment?" Jin Liancheng frowned and looked at Li Yue and said.
Jin Liancheng found Li Yue very proud from the beginning, and now he realized that Li Yue was extremely conceited. Li Yue believed that women were not important, and believed that Mu Yan did not have such a big impact on Xiao Xinghan. He believed that Xiao Xinghan's only choice was to follow them, whether for his strong strength or to protect Mu Yan's safety. It seemed reasonable, but Jin Liancheng always believed that Xiao Xinghan would never leave Mu Yan alone, especially Mu Yan was still pregnant with Xiao Xinghan's child. Although Jin Liancheng always kept this from Li Yue, and there were very few people who knew about this. If Jin Liancheng didn't say it, Li Yue would have no possibility of knowing it.
"Jin Liancheng, my national teacher also has his own judgment!" Li Yue looked at Jin Liancheng and said coldly, "Before taking the boat, I will let Xiao Xinghan recover his purple eyes and prove his identity."
"Why not now?" Jin Liancheng asked.
"Don't say too much, my national teacher will decide! If you don't believe it, just follow it and see what's going on!" Li Yue shook her sleeves and left, leaving Jin Liancheng alone standing there inexplicably.
Although Jin Liancheng's words just now were his subjective judgment and there was no substantial evidence, they still made Li Yue feel a little suspicious. But in his heart, Li Yue actually didn't believe that Xiao Xinghan he took from Prince Xiao's mansion was fake. It means that he was fooled, and more importantly, he knelt down at this "Xiao Xinghan" and was slapped. If it was real, the prince of Tianming Kingdom treated him like this, if it was a fake...
A cold light flashed in Li Yue's eyes. He recalled what had happened since he arrived in Leiyang City, and believed in his judgment more. Because when Li Yue went to the Xiao Palace, the formation in the Xiao Palace was clearly prepared to deal with Yin Jian. Before that, Xiao Xinghan could not know that he was the prince of Tianming Kingdom, and even more impossible for him to know that Li Yue and Wu Fang would come, so Xiao Xinghan hid and found such a perfect substitute to block the disaster for him in the Xiao Palace. This possibility would not exist at all.
Li Yue didn't think that there would be someone who could perfectly pretend to be Xiao Xinghan. Her appearance could be changed with drugs, but her temperament was not so easy to imitate. The "Xiao Xinghan" that Li Yue saw was the indifference and nobility in her bones, as well as her calmness and decisiveness in her encounters, were all real. How could a substitute do it?
Besides, Li Yue had already mentioned the purple eyes, and at that time he did not see any strange behavior of "Xiao Xinghan". If he was really a substitute, he would realize that there was a risk of exposure. Even if he pretended to be a disguise, how could he dare to follow them? Because Huitian Ming Kingdom must have to restore his eyes to purple. If he couldn't do it, there would be only a dead end.
But Jin Liancheng's words still planted a seed of doubt in Li Yue's heart, because his mission was of great importance, and the ship of Qisha City was not used as long as he wanted, so what he took away must be the real prince of Tianming Kingdom, and no mistakes were allowed.
But Li Yue cannot verify it now because he does not understand medical skills. He gave Xiao Yuesheng the medicine that asked Xiao Yuesheng to restore his eyes to purple was brought from Tianming Kingdom. There were only two bottles. One bottle was smashed by Xiao Yuesheng, and the other bottle was used by Mingsha. The rest was on the ship. Therefore, Li Yue could only wait to Penglai Island, and after getting on the ship, he asked Xiao Yuesheng to use medicine to prove that his eyes were purple.
When Li Yue came back, Xiao Yuesheng picked up a piece of snack and put it in his mouth, and then signaled Wu Fang to put all the food away, but he stopped eating. In fact, Xiao Yuesheng was not full at all. He ate a lot and preferred food. But in order to pretend to be his younger brother Xing'er, he had to control it so that something was wrong.
Li Yue looked at Xiao Yuesheng deeply, but Xiao Yuesheng wore half of the mask when eating. After eating, he used a mask to cover his entire face. Li Yue didn't understand disguise skills, and now he couldn't see anything strange. But wearing a mask is Xiao Xinghan's habit, and everyone in the world knows it.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince seems to have not washed his face in two days." Li Yue said to Xiao Yuesheng.
Xiao Yuesheng looked at Li Yue coldly: "What? Your subordinate who dared not see anyone turned his head and tail and didn't come to pay homage to this prince, but he told you that this prince might be fake?"
"Your Highness the Crown Prince misunderstood." Li Yue lowered his eyes slightly. He was more inclined to the real Xiao Xinghan in front of him, because Xiao Yuesheng was too smart and reacted too quickly, which was not something that ordinary people could do.
"Li Yue, you have something to hide from me." Xiao Yuesheng looked at Li Yue and said coldly, "Who is the person you just went to see?"
Li Yue shook her head: "Your Highness the Crown Prince is too worried. He is indeed a subordinate of the minister, who is responsible for exploring the way. If Your Highness the Crown Prince has a good rest, let's continue on the road to avoid wasting time."
To be continued...
