Jianghai Wuyue

Chapter 24: Heartbreak

Yuan Qingzhang locked people in the secret room of the water pavilion. The water pavilion was the place where the original owner of the house read books. A layer of transparent glass was cleverly sandwiched outside the attic, and a layer of water mist hung in the middle, pouring quietly. In the pool under the attic.In addition, the winter has not yet passed, and some of this layer of water have formed fine ice beads, hitting the wall painted with tung oil, making a soft dripping sound.

To Wang Ning'an's ears, this sound was like a warning to his death, torturing his increasingly fragile nerves every day.It was so dark that it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night, and there was no human voice, as if the whole world was only left with a never-ending hypnotic sound.

Wang Ning'an smiled miserably. He never thought that he was so clever and calculated all his life that he didn't even know how he lost in the end.In vain, he swore in front of the palace lord that he would complete this task, and made her smile.

The long-lost creaking sound suddenly sounded, and someone's light footsteps slowly stopped in front of him. It seemed that there was a small wind coming from around, carrying a bit of the cold air of plum blossoms, rushing At the end of Wang Ning'an's nose, the increasingly thick smell of blood was dispelled.

Chen Ling sat on the highest terrace of the water pavilion, looking at a lonely white shadow in the blue sky from afar, the wine bottle in his hand didn't move for a while, calmly reflecting a four seasons crabapple growing beside the attic.The color of the powdery petals is reflected in the light blue wine, which seems to be filled with an erratic light red mist.

Chen Xi hugged Chen Ling and sat there, pouted slightly angrily, and glanced at his elder brother who was sitting next to him with grievances.It was clearly the elder brother who said that he would take him somewhere to settle the matter, how could he sit down and have a happy conversation with this frivolous person at first sight.And that annoying and gloomy Wang Qi also came along, which really made him unhappy.

He wanted Chen Ling to coax him, but he saw his elder brother staring at the remaining white clouds in the sky with his wandering eyes, while Yuan Qingzhang next to him took the opportunity to please Chen Ling and put on a furry cloak , and was gracious to replace the cooled sake in the cup.With the most intimate and joyful look on their faces, Chen Xing couldn't help but darken his eyes, and the purple energy that had dissipated gathered in his eyes again, making people feel uncomfortable.

Wang Qi sat on the side and patiently waited for the person to come out. The matters entrusted to him by the senior brother have been done without any problems, and now they are waiting to see how the senior brother will deal with this person.This half a month of being with the senior brother is considered to have gained a lot of experience. There are countless dirty things in the big family, but it makes him miss his deserted family a little bit.Just thinking about the wine jug lost in Baiwei Pavilion, Wang Qi's face darkened suddenly, and people from Hongzhou even got involved. It seems that this game of chess is really big.

While his thoughts were wandering, Danyun had already brought the half-dead man over, casually threw Wang Ning'an on the ground, and the bound man knocked on the ground with a loud and muffled sound.

Chen Ling was awakened by this voice, and his foggy eyes became clear again. He glanced at the man lying on the ground with a sluggish breath in surprise, but he couldn't tell that it was the "father" who was strategizing in front of him and couldn't see any flaws. "grown ups.

"The weather is fine today, and the snow that has fallen all winter has stopped. Seeing my father working hard all day, his body must be very tired. The son has nothing to honor his father, so he can only invite his father to come out to bask in the sun and relax for a few days. Take it as a comfort to my father for working so hard for the whole family." Seeing the real person, Chen Ling suddenly became less angry, and leisurely poured a glass of gas for the person lying on the ground who was so angry Bloody red dates and wolfberry tea, indicating that the cloud floats people up and sits upright.

Danyun took a meaningful look at the man who was calm and gentle like the moonlight, obediently helped him up and knelt down on the cushion stuffed with duck feathers.Wang Ningan, who had been tortured these days, was physically and mentally exhausted, but was placed on the seat upright, subconsciously straightened his back, and his exposed chin showed a dignified and condensed aura.Just doing this pulled the unhealed scar on his body, and a bloodstain running through the back of the shoulder was printed on the plain white shirt.

Chen Ling didn't seem to have heard the slight sound of pain that dissipated with the wind, and he still talked to Wang Ning'an in a slow and homely way, "Father has always been the emperor's right-hand man in the court, the minister of the humerus. The elder sister supported each other and brought great glory to the family. I really admire my son. But there is one thing my son doesn't understand. Why did my father suddenly change his mind and become a capable minister by the emperor's side? I remember that what my father dislikes the most is the intrigues in the court, and Bo Yun's treachery, why did my father turn around and join the court without warning?"

Wang Ning'an was blindfolded, and still couldn't see clearly what was going on outside, but he could smell the clear water vapor, wrapped in the wind and lingering around his body.The natural, fresh and open air washed away a little of the blood and filth accumulated on his body, allowing him to heave a tired sigh of relief.Facing the usual homely questions of Chen Ling, a cheap son, he didn't have the strength to discern the meaning carefully. He bent his waist slightly, took a long breath, and said weakly: "Why do you have to put on an air, you Since you have tortured me to such an extent, you must know that I am not your father, the admiration and cautiousness between these fathers and sons is really unnecessary!"

"Father, don't worry. The days are long and we have a lot to talk about slowly." Chen Ling didn't feel angry because of Wang Ning'an's words. If you beg me so much, then I will let go of these pretense, but what should I call you? Is it Mr. Chen who is of the same clan as me, or something else? Speaking of which, I still don’t know your name after so long Woolen cloth?"

Anyone who has heard Chen Ling's voice will feel the breeze blowing on his face and the bright moon shining on him. Anyone who does not look at him will feel that he is a gentle and handsome young man.Especially when Wang Ning'an was blindfolded and could only identify people by their voices, he felt that this person was still just as before, only focusing on being a gentleman, being tolerant and loving.There was a cold smile in my heart, this person was just like this, even if he was arrested, he still couldn't make a big deal.

"My name? This is really unclear. Although I deceived you, I have been your elder for more than ten years. I have never cared for you, but I have never done anything to you. What an unreasonable thing. This time the incident was brought to light, and I feel extremely guilty in my heart." Even though Wang Ning'an is in a state of embarrassment and weakness now, he has never lost that calm demeanor. Show a bit of sympathetic sadness.

Wang Qi frowned and looked at Wang Ning'an's rambling drama. The words he said were completely inconsistent with the information obtained from the investigation. Didn't the senior brother know his identity a long time ago? After the state, you can guess who to go to and what to do.What is the meaning of this now? Is it necessary to test whether he can tell things in peace and give him a lighter punishment?

Turning to look at the expression of the senior brother, he was startled by the gloomy eyes of Chen Xi who was sitting beside him.After quarreling so many times, although I still don't like this kid who pretends to be cute, but I also have some feelings. I have never seen such a look on his face. It is almost impossible to swear to do it. Wang Jia, who killed him, was much more sinister and sinister.Instinctively, Wang Qi feels that the current Chen Xi is not easy to mess with, if he is not careful, his head will move and his life will be lost.

It's a pity that Wang Ning'an's eyes are blindfolded. After being away from the two brothers for a long time and being tortured for a long time, his vigilance is no longer what it used to be. His words are full of unavoidable guilt. A layer of dry skin appeared on his pale lips Seeing it is a lot of training.

"You really deserve to be someone who has been immersed in the court for decades. What you say is really justified and touching. This junior really admires you." He said the words of admiration, but the eyes flashed with a cold storm, One knife after another cut Wang Ning'an's body, "I don't know if your palace lord will feel the same sweetness and move people to tears after hearing your words? Wang Ning'an... my lord!"

When the name Wang Ning'an was uttered, even he himself was in a daze for a moment. It had been a long time since he had heard this name.The name Chen Ming was like a shackle.It gave him the prestigious reputation of authority now, but it reminded him all the time that he was a despicable person who stole other people's identities.The days of walking on the tip of the knife so tightly, I don't know when it will end.Such a trance state of mind is only for a moment, Wang Ning'an raised a gentle arc on his mouth, and said indifferently, "I already know who I am, why bother to test me like this? It's just stupid delaying time, you were really taught badly by those old antiques who pretended to be noble, and at this time, you are also talking about the way of a gentleman, you are really an uneducable fool!"

"Heh... Your Majesty Wang is so powerful, Xiaomin is really scared by your mountain-like aura and trembles all over, not daring to move." Chen Ling stood up, and the fan in his hand lifted Wang Ning'an's chin, Insulting high, looking at the cold and majestic prisoner as if enjoying a toy that can be discarded at any time.

"This officialdom doesn't seem to be a good thing. A good person has been made into such an arrogant appearance." Chen Ling cast down his eyes coldly on his face, with a gleam of contempt in his eyes, "Just With those few specious words, you easily made a conclusion for me, obsessed with the falsehood of the appearance, and never really explored the truth inside. I don’t know that you people who travel to the night palace are really too confident in yourself The intelligence network is still too conceited to believe that you can strategize, and you can make a person's mind invisible with just a flirtatious glance. Heh... just relying on your rudimentary skills to deceive those officials who are intimidated by you It’s nothing more than a person who pretends to be a fake skin, but if you pretend to be in front of me, you still have to die!”

"You were just a gangster on the street before Ru Yeyou Palace. If you didn't enter Yeyou Palace because you are somewhat similar to your father, how could you take such an errand and come to ruin my house? Come let I guess, you are so anxious to go straight to Hongzhou without looking back, but because Hongzhou's willow-leaf scimitar is waiting for you there. Once you reach the boundary of Hongzhou, you will enter the territory of Yeyou Palace , at that time, no matter how powerful we are, we still have to shy away from your territory. Even if we really touch your lair, by then, I'm afraid you will have changed your face and are at ease ?”

The fan resting on his chin was thrown aside by Chen Ling in disgust, and hit the hollowed-out gilt incense burner, with a jerk, Wang Ning'an's heart skipped a beat.

Chen Ling, who no longer had the patience to watch Wang Ning'an's acting, said straightforwardly: "Why did your palace master want you to assume my father's identity by any means?"

As if he was hit by Chen Ling, Wang Ning'an, who was still high-spirited just now, now lowered his head, staring at the ground with a gray face, although he has no eyes to stare at now.After a while, he raised his face slowly, and cracked a ferocious smile in Chen Ling's direction, "Why? Who are you from Chen Ming, and you dare to ask me such a question!?"

"I'm my father's son, as it should be. Why isn't this status not enough?"

Chen Xi couldn't hold back for a long time. Seeing that Wang Ning'an's identity was exposed, he still dared to show off his power so recklessly. A layer of flesh was cut off Wang Ning'an's face.Flying blood splattered in the air, and the strong smell of blood covered the scent of Qing Lingling in an instant.

Flesh was cut on his face, but Wang Ning'an didn't cry out for pain. The cloth scraped off by the whip and the blood foam were exposed on the ground, revealing his eyes that were still intact, and Yin Jie's malice rolled inside.

"Heh... I almost forgot about you, you little bastard." Throwing aside the shackles of refinement on his body, Wang Ning'an showed his stubborn and vulgar side, "Don't you wonder why you grow up Is it completely different from your mother and brother? You have seen the nobles of the Yue family in the Chen family, and you have seen it too. Why don't you doubt your true identity at all? You The appearance of the family members, who have been acting as the sons-in-law in the Chen family for more than ten years, don't those old things who pay attention to the blood of the clan have any strange expressions? And if you go to the academy to study, don't you find that those people's eyes are all Is it flickering and hesitant?"

This series of understatement, with a little light coaxing, made Chen Xi's immature face show a wavering fragility.What Wang Ning'an wants to see is this kind of fragility and trance. Anyway, this life is broken here today. If he can take root in Chen Ling and Chen De's heart before he dies, even if he can't wait for the wonderful result of the collapse of the building in the future, he Even death is enough.
