Chapter 674 Sudden News
Xiao Yining stared at the two old men in the secret passage in amazement. They were both dressed in new clothes, and their faces, as fresh as spring breeze, were filled with a gentle (weird) smile that could drown people.
Her hair stood on end. She took a quick look and then quickly hid in the crook of her fellow villager's neck, not daring to look again.
Wang and Lin: ...
The two old men looked at each other, and reached out to forcibly pull the kid out of the boy's arms.
Lin Yuzan held the kicking baby in her arms and coaxed her gently, "Qing Jie, be good. Pei Yi needs to do something, don't disturb him."
Wang Cheng separated the kid from the boy and urged, "It's getting late, let's go!"
Pei Yi glanced at them both with an ambiguous look, then turned his gaze to the pouting little kid and said soothingly, "Be good, Sister Qing. Your uncle will take you to the dungeon to see Shangguan Wenyuan."
As soon as these words were spoken, the effect was immediate.
When she heard the name "Shangguan Wenyuan", Xiao Yining's eyes suddenly lit up, and she immediately remembered her mission for tonight - to get some stories about him from this person.
The depression in her heart was thrown away in an instant. She smiled brightly and said yes.
Wang and Lin: (?? ?), this brat!
The two old men, with the little kid, followed the brat in front of them and walked back into the dark and damp passage.
At the same time, the candlelight in Guiyan Tower was extinguished one by one, and the two courtyards fell into darkness. No one knew that the people who originally lived in them had disappeared without a trace.
After a brief emotional recovery, Xiao Yining fell into depression again.
It was just because she was surrounded by handsome men that she couldn't bear it.
She raised her eyes and looked forward, and saw her father sitting at the bow, looking at her kindly.
Then she looked up and saw Wang Cheng's smooth jaw.
The old man noticed the little kid's gaze, lowered his eyes, and asked with concern: "Sister Qing, are you still dizzy?"
Little Yining tilted her head, facing the dark river, and answered truthfully: "After seeing Dad and Uncle, Sister Qing felt dizzy and wanted to vomit! Yue..."
Wang and Lin: ...
Although they already knew that the kid was prone to seasickness, they couldn't help but feel itchy when they heard this.
However, they glanced at the young man who was waiting for an opportunity and held back again.
Pei Yi glanced at the two of them and smiled nonchalantly. He took something out of his arms and stuffed it into the little kid's hand, "Qing Jie'er, if you play with this, you won't want to vomit."
Xiao Yining pinched the hard foreign object in his hand, lowered his eyes in surprise, and saw the thing on Chen Jiaoyi's drawing suddenly appear in front of him.
She asked subconsciously: "Uncle, it turns out you really stole the tiger talisman!"
This thing is really good for treating seasickness. The kid instantly felt refreshed and only cared about his head which could fall off at any time.
The two old men nearby also perked up, put aside their anger towards the kid, and snatched the tiger talisman to check.
Wang Cheng carefully stroked the tiger talisman, his face solemn: "It is indeed the North City Tiger Talisman, but it can mobilize all the troops in North City without summoning. You are quite courageous, aren't you afraid that Chen Du will find out and kill you."
Lin Yuzan touched the other piece, frowned, and asked, "How come you have the emperor's piece? He would never order you to steal it!"
Pei Yi reached out and took the tiger talismans from the two people's hands, put them together, and returned them to the little boy.
After doing this series of actions, he explained in a calm tone: "I picked this up from Chen Du's side. The emperor also knows about this, but this man is suspected of colluding with the Hu people, so he ordered me to keep the tiger talisman temporarily."
When Wang and Lin heard this, they looked at each other and exchanged silent glances.
After a moment, Lin Yuzan's eyes fell on the tiger talisman in his daughter's hand again: "It seems that the many things done by the Chen family have made the emperor disgusted with them. If the 200,000 Chen family troops are not disbanded, the emperor will definitely choose someone he can trust and who has a bad relationship with the Chen family but has a lot of connections with them to take over."
The candidate is self-evident: it is the young man in front of him.
Wang Cheng sighed deeply, full of emotion: "I didn't expect that Chen Du's defenses were so numerous, and it was a joke from beginning to end. Lin Zi never thought of guarding the North City, and the person the emperor really liked was Pei Yi, who had not yet grown up."
After the two of them finished talking, they both smiled helplessly. It was really hard to figure out what this old man was thinking.
Just at this moment, the three men heard a crisp "dong" sound in their ears.
Xiao Yining had been stunned by the words of the three people just now, and the tiger talisman in her hand fell unconsciously. Her eyes were slightly red, and her face was full of disbelief. She stared at her fellow villager in a daze: "Uncle, are you really going to the war?"
The three of them then noticed the baby's emotional fluctuations and quickly started to coax him.
Lin Yuzan comforted her in a gentle voice, "Don't worry, Sister Qing. The Hu people are now seriously injured and have submitted a letter of surrender to our dynasty, and have agreed to a truce for more than ten years so that they can rest and recuperate. It will take more than ten years for Pei Yi to go to Beicheng."
Wang Cheng went on to say, "I think Duke Chen also knows about this. Although Chen Du is his son, he is stubborn and self-righteous. He is brave but not wise. The Chen family will not last long in his hands. But Pei Yi is different. He has the blood of the Chen family. If he takes charge of North City, he can still protect the Chen family for a long time in the future. Duke Chen has a sense of justice in his heart. He will do his best to teach Pei Yi next."
"But this will make my uncle very hard-working, and Qingjie doesn't want him to suffer." Xiao Yining replied with some sadness.
Whether it is to protect the peace of one side or to shoulder the huge responsibility of the Chen family, it should not have anything to do with the fellow villagers.
He has always been very lucky, which makes her envious every day.
Pei Yi was touched when he saw the little kid worried about him. He squatted down slowly, gazed at the little kid tenderly, and comforted him softly, "Qing Jie'er, your cousin won't have to work hard. Whether I protect the Chen family in the future depends on my mood. But I am happy to fight. I like the feeling of killing people, just like I took over the position of deputy commander of the Shadow Guards, just to be able to kill as much as I want. It's just that there are too few opportunities for me to display my skills in Yanjing. If I go to Beicheng, your cousin will be able to show his skills and kill as much as he wants."
Xiao Yining: ..., you are worthy of being called the devil fellow, always saying such horrible things.
Wang and Lin: →_→, he is really crazy!
