Yuezhaoyingan

Chapter 26

After that day, there was a strange silence between Ling Yan and Zhao'an, and Zhao'an didn't want to delve into Ling Yan's complicated emotions, he still went to the back mountain for training on time, but when he went today, Huang Qi didn't give any information. He arranged the task, but only told him: "The people from the Third Prince's Mansion have arrived at the Cenqi Mountain Gate."

Zhao'an immediately turned around and went back to the small courtyard, just in time to meet the servant who brought breakfast to spread the word that Ling Yan had a guest today, and the husband told him not to go to the front yard.

Ling Yan was also surprised by Zhao'an's return, but when he thought of the person in Houshan, he knew that Zhao'an had known the news in advance.Sure enough, Zhaoan closed the door and began to change into ordinary student clothes, while speaking to Ling Yu the first long sentence in the past few days: "I don't know who will come later, but you can't mention my affairs."

Ling Yan remained silent.

Zhaoan changed his clothes, regardless of whether he agreed or not, he just took off the injured part of his arm that was tightly bound with bandages, and wiped off the strong smell of medicine with clean water. There was no time to use hot water, and the pain was mild Hissed.

These cover-up behaviors all fell into Ling Yan's eyes, he concealed his emotions, and didn't want to let Zhaoan go on in his heart.

Unexpectedly, Zhao An suddenly hurled himself in front of him, leaned his elbow against the door panel, stared at him and said word by word: "Did you hear that?"

Ling Yan felt a pain in her throat, and replied with some difficulty: "Mmm..."

After Zhao'an tried to cover up all the clues that could be thought of in the room, it didn't take long for a figure to push open the door of their small courtyard, holding a bunch of things in his hand, and nodded to them with the familiar cold face and paralyzed face: "Your Highness Seventh, Zhao'an, long time no see."

Zhao'an was both happy and surprised. What made him happy was that he hadn't seen anyone from the family for a long time. He hadn't even received a letter over the years and didn't know about the situation in the house. But now he felt relieved because it was Ji Qing who came. .Ji Qing is very busy, if he can come here, it must be at the behest of His Highness, then there shouldn't be any trouble in the house.And he was so surprised that the person who came was none other than Ji Qing, not someone like Xiang Bing who was easy to fool. He was afraid that he would accidentally see something, so he gave Ling Yan a wink to remind him not to say the wrong thing, and said: " Brother Ji Qing, long time no see."

Although Ling Yan didn't have much contact with Ji Qing in the house, he still knew the importance of him by Ling Yu's side. There was a glimmer of hope in his heart, maybe it was sent by the third brother to pick them up, although he liked it very much, But he didn't want to force himself like An did, so he replied in the same way: "Brother Ji Qing, long time no see."

However, Ji Qing's next sentence beat Zhao'an's heart up and down: "Is any of you injured? Why does it smell like medicine?"

Ling Yan glanced at Zhao'an in a panic, and Zhao'an said calmly: "I accidentally fell and injured some time ago, and I took medicine, and it's much better."

There are many people who practice martial arts, Ji Qing does not doubt him: "Then we should pay attention, don't fall into the root cause of the disease."

Zhao'an welcomed him into the house and agreed, "Got it."

Ling Yan and Zhao An have grown taller in these years, Ji Qing is not good at expressing, but he still said with emotion: "You have grown taller again."

After a pause, he patted An's shoulder again, and said to them, "Butler Xiang Bing and the others miss you very much, and His Highness misses you very much, too. His Highness specially asked me to bring them to you." Ji Qing took the things Put them away, they are all the snacks they are used to eating in the mansion.

Zhao'an's heart ached, but he still hid his emotions, poured Ji Qing a cup of tea, and asked, "Is Your Highness alright?"

"It's fine, and everything is safe in the house." Ji Qing then asked, "How about you? Do you like Cen Qishan? Are you still used to it?" After speaking, he looked at the small house where they lived.

Zhao'an was afraid that he would see the clue, so he hurriedly replied: "I like this place quite a bit, and so does Ling Yan. His grades are also very conspicuous in the front yard."

Ji Qing looked at Ling Yan when he heard the words, Ling Yan who was suddenly named could only nod slightly.

"That's good," Ji Qing turned around and asked again, "What about you? What about your grades?"

Zhao'an was a little guilty, and his eyes dodged for a while: "I'm okay, so-so."

This can't be hidden from Ji Qing, since he entered the room, he felt that Zhao'an's aura was a bit different, so it seems that Zhao'an's martial arts should have improved. It is also necessary to be diligent, Ji Qing doesn't understand why there is such a guilty conscience: "Then you and I will try it, and let me see if you are lazy."

Zhao Anxin said it was not good, and struggled: "Brother Ji Qing, don't tease me. Your martial arts are so good, I'm sure I can't beat you."

Without saying a word, Ji Qing handed Zhao'an the sword he usually used, and then walked into the courtyard, motioning for Zhao'an to come out for a comparison.

Zhao'an had no choice but to pick up the sword and adjust his breathing and strength. He couldn't let Ji Qing see anything wrong.

Ling Yan stood at the door and watched Ji Qing raise his sword first, the attack was not fierce, obviously leaving room for it, and Zhao'an also saw the tricks, but his figure was a little immature.Ling Yan lowered his eyes, he had seen Zhao'an practice sword alone at night sometimes, the fluency at that time was completely different from now.

Zhao'an carefully controlled himself and Ji Qing's fights, but he didn't notice that his injured left hand was hit by Ji Qing, Zhao'an tried his best not to cry out in pain, and Ji Qing also noticed his abnormality and stopped.

Before he could ask, Zhao'an put away the sword as if nothing happened, and said: "The place where you said you were injured just now is almost fine. Did Ji Qing let me go, or did I also become stronger? "

His tone was very similar to his childhood tone, like a child who urgently needs to be recognized by adults, Ji Qing also had a faint smile in his eyes, and said: "I have made a lot of progress, it seems that I am not lazy."

The three of them went back to the hut and sat down again. Ji Qing was not a talkative person at all, and after a while, he was about to get up and go back to Xingnai City.

"Are you going to leave so soon?" Ling Yan was a little shaken, he didn't expect Ji Qing to leave just like that.

Zhao An frowned, interrupted Ling Yan's hesitation, and said, "Brother Ji Qing is very busy, so we can't delay too long."

Ji Qing nodded, but he still didn't do anything, and said, "Zhao'an, give me a walk."

As long as Ling Yan and Ji Qing are not left alone, Zhao An can do whatever he wants, he hurriedly said: "Well, okay, Brother Ji Qing, I'll see you off."

On the way to the gate of the front yard, Ji Qing asked as he walked, "Zhao'an, do you want to go back?"

"Huh?" Zhao'an couldn't react immediately, "Where are you going back?"

Ji Qing said, "Go back to Your Highness."

Zhao'an was startled, if Zhao'an three years ago would have answered without hesitation, he would be eager to return to His Highness's side, but now Zhao'an doesn't know if the return Ji Qing is talking about is the kind of return he wants.

He didn't answer, waiting for Ji Qing to continue.

Ji Qing was a little surprised by Zhao'an's silence, but he continued to say as if he was too happy to take you back, "His Royal Highness wants to take you back, and he has already thought about it for you. You can go back to the school to continue learning martial arts first." , if you don't want to stay in the mansion in the future, His Highness said that he can also arrange a position for you in the school grounds or other places, so that you can feel more comfortable."

Every time Ji Qing said a word, Zhao An's heart sank a little, and his pace slowed down a little. Is the leisurely and comfortable job His Highness's arrangement for him?

"Stop talking." Zhao'an finally stopped and said, "I won't go back."

Ji Qing was surprised by his answer, and looked back at the young man who was standing behind him, his indifferent demeanor was completely different from before, and asked in confusion, "Zhaoan?"

"I still want to learn more skills." Zhao'an lowered the corners of his eyes, hiding the emotions in his eyes, as if the indifference just now was just an illusion, smiled and said: "Brother Ji Qing, the mountain is down ahead, so I won't see you off."

Ji Qing never thought that Zhao'an would refuse, and he was speechless for a while.

Feeling ups and downs, Zhao'an finally raised his head, waved his hands and said softly, "Please...greeting Your Highness for me."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and ran back and forth, without looking back at Ji Qing.

He ran without a clue, the wind rang fiercely in his ears, until he became dizzy, the waterfall on the edge of the cliff rumbled down, Zhaoan panted, sat on the ground slumped, and the splashed mist filled the mountain , gradually stained his clothes, his cheeks, and his eyes.But he knew that he couldn't cry, and even if the road ahead that he was rushing towards in a daze ended in an abyss, he still couldn't retreat half a point.

"Heh..." A sneer came from not far away, Huang Qi walked out from behind the big tree, and walked in front of him, "Why don't you want to go back? I told you to go back to Xingnai City, why bother to work so hard?" , what's wrong with going to the prince's mansion and continuing to be a waste? After all, the location of the family has been found for you."

After Zhaoan noticed his appearance, he lowered his eyes and covered all his emotions. He had long been used to his taunts, but his hands were still clenched into fists unconsciously. Only in this way could he suppress his anger. When he raised his eyes again, His eyes were already cold: "Stop talking nonsense, what do you want me to accomplish today?"

Huang Qi seemed very satisfied with Zhao'an's toughness at the moment, and said, "What else do you want to accomplish? I think about it, it seems that the colorful sparrows of the past few days have not been caught. This is not good for weak people. It's useless to catch a colorful sparrow."

With high mountains and dense forests behind him, a coldness flashed in Zhao'an's eyes, resisting the discomfort gushing out of his body and the pain on his arm, he got up and walked into the lush forest.

But Ji Qing rode out of Mount Cen Qi on horseback, but the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with Zhao An. The strangest thing was that he said he didn't want to go back to His Highness.

He stopped the horse, and thought carefully about Zhao'an's movements and demeanor when he fought against him, and Zhao'an's painful expression when his left arm blocked his arm. If it was an ordinary fall, how could he endure it like that? And Zhao'an's skill seems to be reserved.In less than three years, what Cen Qishan entrusted to him is unlikely to make Zhao'an develop by leaps and bounds——Zhao'an has something to hide from him.

Ji Qing turned around immediately, he wanted to find out what happened to Zhao'an.

But before he reached the bottom of the mountain, the road was blocked by a tall and thin man. The man turned around, with two swords on his back, and his sneer let Ji Qing know that the visitor was not good.

The two of them didn't say a word, but Ji Qing knew that he had something to do with Zhao'an.

Someone came forward with two swords, Ji Qing challenged him, and after more than a hundred fights, the winner was dead.

But he withdrew his sword and said directly: "You can't beat me, and I can't kill you, but I won't stop you either. If you insist on taking that boy back, I'll just kill him."

Ji Qing's face was livid, and he asked, "Who are you? What's your purpose?"

The visitor smiled and said, "Ah, don't get me wrong, after all, I'm just following orders."

Ji Qing asked: "Who ordered?"

The man didn't answer, just squinted and smiled, put his swords back into their sheaths, and left without paying attention.

Ji Qing wanted to step forward to stop him, but just for a moment, Ji Qing thought of a person, Tianxin Pavilion Assassination Department Director Huang Qi - he has a weird temper and is good at using two swords.

Ji Qing frowned, got on his horse, and hurried towards Xing Nai. He had to let Ling Yu know about this as soon as possible.
