Chapter 147 Duplicity

Xing Sheng: Are young people so awkward when they fall in love now?

Yijing reviewed the document in his hand again, then closed it, and asked the busy Xing Sheng: "The National Martial Arts Examination is coming soon, have all the relevant matters been arranged?"

"I have told Bao Huan to guard the venue carefully to avoid troubles, but this has been the same for many years."

"It's a bit boring, but there are people tossing about it every year. Even if the method is repeated, it's good enough. They come from all corners of the country, and they haven't been trained in the army, which saves a lot of trouble."

While listening to him, Xing Cheng tilted his head and looked outside the Xuanwu Pavilion door, as if he had discovered something new and interesting.

"Why?" Seeing his appearance, Yijing was really surprised.

"There are always people who stay up late at night..."

Xing Cheng sighed, got up and walked towards the door, followed by Yi Jing, driven by curiosity.Just after stepping out of Xuanwu Pavilion, I saw Xingchao who was in a dilemma and a little bit shy not far away, and Tingyu who had no choice but to say something.

"Xingchao!" Xingcheng's expression seemed to be able to smash the gate, "You are a guest of Jianhe Valley, this is the place where the Ningwu army is stationed, learn to be more or less quiet, it's not easy to take a rest in the middle of the night, wandering around What?!"

"No, big brother!" Xing Chao hurriedly defended, "Yes... it's Shuya who has been waiting for you for a long time, so it's inevitable that I'm worried, I..."

"Ridiculous." Xing Cheng snorted softly, "She and Shuze took a break early."

Really can't see Xing Chao's such stupid behavior, Ting Yu couldn't bear it anymore and said: "He heard that his brother has not returned to Lingjunhou's mansion, and started...uh..."

"Ting Yu!" Xing Chao hurriedly came forward to cover her mouth, wondering why Ting Xue had such a younger sister, and said stubbornly, "What's on his mind, he won't go home in the middle of the night, what about Ai Lang?" Where to go."

Yijing looked at the joyful farce in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while, but Xingcheng's face seemed to turn darker.

"Xing Chao, Ting Xue is not a three-year-old child, so there is no need to worry about this kind of thing." Yi Jing glanced at Xing Cheng's face and tried to persuade him.

"But..." Xing Chao seemed to want to say something else.

"Go back!" Xing Cheng gritted his teeth and said, "Tingxue won't get lost anywhere! It's not your turn to worry about it, a duplicity."

Seeing that Xing Cheng was about to draw his sword and say goodbye, Xing Chao turned around and ran away without saying a word, while Yi Jing showed a broken smile and pretended to scold him a few words, so that Xing Cheng should not care.

"Forget it, forget it, just treat them as young and ignorant."

"Where did such an old 'young and ignorant' come from?" Xing Sheng rolled his eyes at him.

Yijing shrugged nonchalantly, called Wen Ji who was watching the fun, and said, "I don't know where Tingxue has gone, so send two people to look for it."

Xing Sheng looked up to the sky and sighed.

Ting Yu also echoed enthusiastically: "Why don't I go too, it's easy to find more people."

"No", Yijing categorically rejected, "In three days, you will have to participate in the national martial arts examination. A few days ago, you ran around for your father, now you should have a good rest. There are no eyes in the weapon field. .”

"But I've been bored at home for a long time, and I haven't moved around for a long time, so let me go out." Ting Yu came up to act like a spoiled child to Yi Jing, and even pulled Xing Cheng to say something nice to herself.

"Let's wait until dawn." Yijing shook his head and said, "Let's rest for now, and go to the Book City when the dawn comes."

When Tingxue left the inn in the morning, Feng Shui insisted on sending him away from the city, but he just reasoned that he had something important to go with him.

Before he took two steps, he saw his younger sister bouncing in front of him from a distance, thinking that the national martial arts exam was about to come, and this girl was still running around, he couldn't help but feel the wind under his feet to meet her and stop her.

"The National Martial Arts Examination is imminent, why are you running around? You should rest at home and pay attention to what injuries you have suffered."

"Father agrees with my going out." Ting Yu pulled Wen Ji to testify for himself, and said, "You didn't go back to Jianhe Valley all night, so Wen Ji and I had no choice but to go out and look for you."

"Originally, I made a fuss with the young master twice, but then the third master was also very worried, so he had to ask someone to come out to find the young master's trace." Wen Ji glanced at Feng Shui meaningfully.

"Ah", Xue immediately understood, and introduced: "The new friend I met yesterday is called Feng Shui. It can be said that it hits like old friends at first sight, so I drank some good wine, and then I didn't bother to move, so I simply rested at the inn."

Three pairs of eyes fell on Feng Shui's body.

Tingxue didn't know what the other two were thinking, but he felt that Feng Shui's expression was a little unnatural, like a river that was about to be burned by flames and dried up, and the exposed riverbed was mottled and bleak.

"You... are the son of Ning Wu's army?" Feng Shui asked him, as if he didn't even have the strength to move the corner of his mouth.

"Who is Mr.?" Wen Ji took a step forward, blocking the two brothers and sisters behind with one hand, and secretly holding the short knife pinned to the back of his waist with the other, "How do you know my master?"

"What's so strange about this?" The riverbed finally collapsed and the soil was scattered in the dust. Tingxue didn't expect any danger, but greeted him with a smile, "Just now the lady talked about the river valley, and the strong man talked about three Lord, I just suddenly remembered that Ningwu's army commander was stationed in the Jianhe Valley, his family was three, and he had a couple of children, so he guessed wildly, unexpectedly, he really met a nobleman."

Wen Ji looked him up and down vigilantly, and didn't say much, but said a few polite words with an indifferent expression, and then led the two brothers and sisters back to see Yijing early.He originally planned to tell Yijing about this, but he was stopped by his brother and sister together. He only said that there are countless people like this, and those who want to climb up to Yijing may not even be able to let go of Jianhe Valley, not to mention Fengshui's character Nothing wrong, not worth making a fuss about, Wen Ji was helplessly dragged down by the brothers and sisters, after thinking about it, he gave up and let them go.

Xing Sheng simply packed up his weapons and luggage, took Tingxue and Shuze back to Lingjunhou's Mansion with him, bid farewell to Yijing, boarded the car, and left for the Martial Arts Field.

Originally, Zhong Jun didn't need to come in person, but there were army commanders in the left and right Jianhe valleys, so Yijing simply drove him out and sent the two children for a ride.

Although Xingsheng insisted that Yijing was using him as a coachman.

But no one expected that the atmosphere along the way was so weird that even people like Xing Sheng couldn't bear it.He was originally a quiet and quiet young master, but the car was also lifeless, the older one looked far away, as if he had a knot in his heart, and the younger one buried himself in his book and ignored others.

So after looking left and right, Xing Cheng decided to speak shamelessly.

"The car is bumpy, don't read the book, be careful not to get dizzy," he said in a flat tone, reaching out to collect the scroll in Shuze's hand.

"Oh..." Shuze seemed a little disappointed, but she didn't say anything unnecessary, just staring at Xingcheng.

Xing Sheng became more and more helpless, so he had to talk to him about family matters.

"The Molan in the mansion is finally coming to the flowering period. When you go home and see your grandfather, remember to tell him to walk carefully. If you can't go to Xiyuan flower garden, don't go, or you will trample on it again, your grandmother. will kick him out of the house."

These words can be said to have immediate effect, not only Shuze, but even Tingxue was terrified, as if the two of them recalled some not-so-good things.

"You should have reminded us earlier." Tingxue covered her forehead in pain, "I hope there is still time to go back now."

"It was Uncle Xingchao who harmed those Molans last year, but now my grandfather has detoured when he saw the flowers." Shuze looked at the sky.

Thinking that they were indeed father and son, Xing Cheng told the two of them: "Then prepare more ladders in the mansion. If you trample on those flowers and plants again, you can climb over the wall and go out by yourself. If your mother is not calm, don't do it." came back."

Shuze couldn't help but let out a "hey".

"Xing Chao..." Tingxue seemed to want to say something else, but Xingcheng raised his right hand the moment he spoke, signaling him to keep quiet. Shuze immediately noticed that the carriage was slowly stopping. It's like the silence that stops the piano music abruptly.

Xing Cheng didn't explain and didn't ask the reason, but lifted the curtain of the car and jumped out of the car a few steps. Ye Xiang, who was driving outside, was also taken aback by his smooth movement, as if Xing Cheng had expected someone to come , but his stern expression seemed to know something unexpected.

Shuze poked her head out from the curtain of the car, and at a glance she saw a galloping horse coming from a distance, and there was another person on the horse's back, judging by his attire, he should be a native of Ningwu.

Seeing that the man was about to crash into the carriage, Ye Xiang immediately dragged Shuze off the carriage, Ting Xue followed closely behind, and seeing that the sergeant could hardly rein in the horse, Xing Cheng resolutely stepped forward, Grasping the upper rein with one hand and the sergeant's arm with the other, he brought the man off the horse safely.

"Why panic?" Xing Cheng patted the horse's neck, handed the reins to Ye Xiang, and asked the urgent sergeant himself.

"The lower official is reckless, the lower official deserves to die, but it's an emergency, and I hope Zhong Jun..."

"Tell me something." Xing Sheng stopped him from begging for mercy.

"Suddenly, there were a lot of candidates making trouble in the martial arts field, and injured many Ningwu soldiers. The commander of the sixth battalion was leading people to suppress it. However, the battalion commander said that this matter was unusual, and ordered his subordinates to report to Jianhegu immediately."

These three words and a few words made the hearts of those present tremble with fear.

"You and I return to the Martial Arts Arena, find out what happened before making plans," Xing Cheng said to the sergeant, and then turned his head to tell Ye Xiang and the others: "Ye Xiang will send them back to the Marquis of the Commander's Mansion, and we will meet again. "

"It's too troublesome, why don't I go too," Ting Xue stopped Xing Sheng anxiously, "Ting Yu is also there, it's really worrying."

"The Ningwu army guarding the martial arts arena, not to mention that you are not under Ningwu, how can I take you along?" Xing Cheng shook his head, "I will pay attention to the matter of listening to the rain, you go home and wait. "

Shuze also tugged at Tingxue's sleeve.

"Okay, I'll go back to the Marquis's Mansion." Tingxue had no choice but to agree dejectedly.
