Favored by wealthy families: Overlord only loves his little wife

After all, Huang Jing didn't tell Wen Xingying these words. They rested in the house that night, and the two of them slept quietly embracing each other, but Huang Jing couldn't help feeling sad in his arms.

Huang Jing said that the envoy from the Yang Kingdom stayed in Dali for more than ten days, but he still didn't send anything like a letter to the city lord of Dali. The two only talked verbally in the middle of the night every day, but he guessed that the letter would appear sooner or later. , it is impossible for the person in contact with the city lord of Dali to tell the messenger all the important news.

Therefore, he would send people to observe the wall of the city lord's house every day, and let them report immediately if they found that the messenger had handed the letter to the city lord.

The lake in the center of Dali City is called Cang'er Lake. Every night, there will be many painted boats playing in the lake. On the night of the fifteenth of each month, the moon in the sky will shine on Cang'er Lake, forming a huge white spot on the lake. On the bright side, it seems that the moon in the sky has fallen into Cang'er Lake, and the fifteenth day of each month is also called "Double Moon Festival" by Dali people.Legend has it that on the Double Moon Festival, couples who go boating in Cang'er Lake to make love will be blessed by the Double Moon and live happily ever after.

"In other words, on the Double Moon Festival, Cang'er Lake will not be full of boats, how can there be fun?" Ye Linglan couldn't help laughing when Wen Xingying said about Cang'er Lake .

"Lan'er, the legend says that it's a promise of love. Some people made an appointment last month. There's no need to make an appointment again this month." Not many, according to the rules here, couples who have already made love in Cang'er Lake, those who have no couples, and those who have already married are not allowed to go boating on the lake on the fifteenth day. Sing and dance, eat, drink and have fun, to bless those who make love on the lake."

"That's interesting." Ye Linglan smiled.

"Does Lan'er know what day it is today?" Wen Xingying asked mysteriously.

"It's May [-]th." Ye Linglan said.

"Then, is Lan'er interested in going boating with me on Cang'er Lake?"

"……it is good."

Lan'er, do you know why I am so eager to establish a relationship with you?One is because I really fell in love with you, and the other is that you have become my person. No matter what happens in the future, there will be many powerful forces to help you. You were pulled into my life by me. It's up to me to protect you, not you to protect me, isn't it?
In the evening, Wen Xingying rented a painting boat with Ye Linglan and went to visit Cang'er Lake.

At this moment, a bright moon in the sky, in the dark night sky, is full of people's dreams of reunion, guiding the way forward for travelers returning home. There is also a bright moon on Cang'er Lake, which is the reflection of the moon in the sky. White, translucent and dazzling, it makes people feel a sense of reverence.

The painted boats rippling on Cang'er Lake, bathed in the moonlight in the lake, seem to be covered with a layer of dazzling bright veil, sending sincere blessings from Shuangyue to the couples among them.

At this time, the Cang'er Lake is also very lively. Girls in beautiful costumes are dancing their traditional dances on the east side of the lake, and the people behind them clap their hands and praise; There is a long table on the north and south sides, which is filled with delicious food and wine for people to taste at will.

This grand bimonthly festival has been passed down to the present, and it has been hundreds of years. Although it is once a month, people's enthusiasm for it has not diminished in the slightest.This night, there were singing and dancing in the city of Dali, the lights were brightly lit, and the alleys were empty, the grand occasion was unprecedented.
Wen Xingying and Ye Linglan are currently in the painting boat on Cang'er Lake. The painting boat is well decorated, with a bed inside, wine and vegetables outside, a stove, a piano, and flowers and plants and other decorations .Ye Linglan heard from Wen Xingying that they were going to stay here all night, and she really didn't understand what he was going to do.

The two had a drink first in the painting boat, drinking and chatting, which was quite interesting.After drinking for a while, Ye Linglan left the table and sat next to the piano.

"Ying, let me play a piece of music for you, okay?"

"Oh?" Wen Xingying became interested, "I haven't heard you play the piano yet."

Ye Linglan smiled slightly. The idea of ​​playing a song for Wen Xingying was only yesterday. Hearing that the girl's piano master Cheng Xueyaochen seemed very proud, it made me feel a little bit hungry, so I wanted to listen to it. He praised his piano skills, but he didn't have the nerve to say it yesterday. Now there are only the two of them, so they can play to their heart's content.

Ying, my piano skills may not be as good as the best one in your heart, but I only hope you can also call me a good player.

So Ye Linglan stretched out her fingers and gently plucked the strings, and then the beautiful music slowly flowed out.Quiet and ethereal, it seems that the hustle and bustle of the world has disappeared in an instant, and the whole person is in a silent valley, quiet and peaceful, surrounded by gorgeous flowers, the fragrance of green grass, a small river flowing quietly, and the sky is vast and boundless blue , the white clouds flowed slightly.In such a deep valley, one qin and one person, through thousands of years, there is still only that peaceful and peaceful heart.

Wen Xingying listened quietly, and the girl in front of him played his music peacefully, leisurely, and indifferent to the world, as if his heart, as expressed in this song, is full of idle clouds, wild cranes, indifferent Live the day, live this life in the green mountains and green waters. 
After the song was over, Ye Linglan withdrew her hand, raised her eyes and looked at Wen Xingying expectantly, hoping to hear his praise for her.

Wen Xingying smiled slightly, got up and brought a glass of wine to Ye Linglan's side, looked at him with a smile, then pulled him up and leaned against her arms, then drank the glass of wine, and lifted the girl's head.

Throwing down the wine glass, Wen Xingying hugged the girl in his arms tightly, and whispered in his ear: "Lan'er, you play really well." The girl turned her head away with some discomfort.

Wen Xingying gave a low laugh, picked up the girl in his arms, and walked slowly towards the inner room. He deliberately slowed down and paid attention to the reaction of the person in his arms. The girl seemed to know what was going to happen next. Nervous, she gripped Wen Xingying's clothes tightly, trembling slightly.

The once romantic young man has now become an infatuated person. The romantic at that time was only because he didn't meet anyone who could make him single-minded.

That night, Wen Xingying was in a good mood and Huang Jing went to the wall of the city lord's house in person to observe the movements of the city lord and the envoy.

Huang Jing wondered where his good mood came from. Wen Xingying just told him that he had a good time at the Double Moon Festival yesterday. Huang Jing happily said that he was the same, and asked him if he watched the girls dance, did he With a kind of delicious fruit wine, Wen Xingying coughed lightly in embarrassment, reminding Huang Jing that the matter was important, and the latter calmed down, and watched carefully on the wall with him.

The city owner's house doesn't look very big. There are several houses, and there seems to be a study room. The place where he talked with the messenger should be the study room. This is the room on the far right of the gate. Wen Xingying and Huang Jingfu At the junction of the right side and the back wall, because the city lord and the messenger pointed a dim oil lamp in the secret meeting room, at most they can only see their shadows in this corner, but you can still see whether a letter has been delivered , Wen Xingying felt that the city lord shouldn't think that someone was watching him, and there was no need to send a letter to keep this kind of action secret.

The city lord and the courier talked about the time of Hai from Xu time, and then they turned off the lights, and the courier left. Huang Jing said that someone was in charge of following the courier, and he lived in an inn in the city every day. industry.That Wen Xingying held back a smile and said that they did a good job, and then left with Huang Jing. 
During the past few days that Wen Xingying had been lurking outside the city lord's house to observe him and the messenger, because their conversation time was not fixed, Wen Xingying was always guarding outside the wall with Huang Jing on time at four o'clock every day. Take over from those who were here.And then don't go back until they're done talking.

On the evening of the sixth day, the city lord talked with the messenger for about half an hour. The messenger took out a scroll-like thing from his arms and handed it to the city lord. Wen Xingying and Huang Jing immediately became nervous. The city lord opened the scroll and looked carefully After reading the above content, he put the scroll in his sleeve, and the two talked for a while before the messenger left.

After the city lord sent the messenger away, he returned to the original place. He played with some mechanism, which made people feel that his body sank little by little. It was only later that Wen Xingying realized that he had entered the secret passage underground. The city lord came up not long after he went down, and then opened the door and left.

"Ying," Huang Jing whispered next to Wen Xingying's ear, "When shall we do it?"

"When do you observe when he doesn't come to the study?" Wen Xingying asked back.

"He's not there at noon every day, not necessarily at other times."

"Then I'll come tomorrow at noon."

"But, Ying," Huang Jing hesitated, "won't he be on guard?"

"Do you think he knew there was a covetous interest in his letter?"

"Well, it's hard to say." Huang Jingsi pondered, "I can't quite understand his mind."

"That's still at noon tomorrow, I want to see what the city lord is capable of." Wen Xingying sneered.

At noon the next day, Wen Xingying, dressed in black, quietly climbed into the courtyard from the back wall of the city lord's house, and looked at the place where he usually squatted on the wall. Huang Jing waved to him quietly.

Seeing that there was no one around the house at this time, Wen Xingying stepped into the door and quickly closed the door.

This is indeed a study room. There are several bookshelves on the wall, which are full of books, as if they are often flipped by people. There is a desk under the window on the right. From the angle of observation at night, I can see that the city lord is standing Chatting with the courier at the desk.

And that tunnel should be right under his feet right now, but he needs to find the mechanism.

Wen Xingying began to observe the desk carefully. There were pens, ink, paper and inkstones on the table, which were neatly arranged. Wen Xingying tried to move each of them, but nothing happened.

Wen Xingying went to inspect the bookshelf again, but there were a few vases, which could be moved down easily without any mechanism being activated. He tried to move the books again, but there was still no response.

Wen Xingying came to the desk again, and Wen Xingying carefully observed the legs of the desk to see if there were any hidden buttons or the like. With a thought, he went to the wall behind the bookshelf to search again, but he still couldn't find anything, so he came back and moved. The whole table is still useless.

Situ Chen stomped the ground hard, the sound from the ground proved that the underground was empty, but the question is, how to get down?

When she was extremely anxious, there was a sound at the door. Wen Xingying hurriedly hid behind the bookshelf, and when she heard the sound of someone coming in and closing the door, Wen Xingying clenched her fists.

That person really walked over here, his footsteps were very leisurely, probably because he didn't know there was anyone here, this person must be at least a housekeeper, or the city lord or his relatives, Wen Xingying heard that person's footsteps getting louder and louder. As he got closer, he couldn't help tensing his nerves, and when a part of that person's body came into his sight, he immediately shot!
Unexpectedly, the sound of footsteps stopped suddenly, and at a position very close to Wen Xingying, the man stopped without showing a single corner.

That Wen Xingying didn't know what he was thinking, and didn't dare to move. He still hid his breath and listened carefully to the man's movements. In this short period of time, it seemed that the sound of a thin needle falling on the ground could be heard clearly.

……

After a short stalemate, the man only heard a slight smile, "Come out, aren't you tired after being nervous for so long?"

It was a young man's voice, sounding like he was 26 or seven years old.

"You want to sneak up on me, maybe I really can't beat you, but I brought Mixiang, you don't know when I will attack, you will definitely suffer." After the man finished speaking, he paused for a while, as if After giving Wen Xingying time to think about it, he said again: "Come out, I want to talk to you, I won't hurt you, that's fine."

Wen Xingying thought for a while, then sighed, took off his mask, took a step, and stood in front of the other party.

The man in front of him knew that he was very shrewd just by looking at his face, and he must be guarded by others when he grows up like this. At this time, he was looking at himself with admiring and probing eyes.

Discouraged for a while, Wen Xingying clasped his fists and saluted: "Wen Xingying, please forgive me for disturbing you."

The man nodded, bowed back, and his smile deepened, "The fourth son of Chiyan Villa, I have admired him for a long time. When we meet today, we will know that the rumors are true."

After the man finished speaking, he walked to the desk and sat down, motioning for Wen Xingying to sit opposite him.

"Young Master Situ has come to the shelter, what advice do you have?"

"I'm sorry, this matter is confidential. Please forgive me for not being able to tell you. I was too careless in my trip today. I am willing to punish you no matter how you punish me." When he said these words, Wen Xingying's face was expressionless.

The man gave him a playful look, "You must be dissatisfied with punishing you now, right?"

"It's not that I'm not convinced, but I just don't understand why my lord came here suddenly."

"Before answering your question, I would like to ask, how much do you know about your mission this time? In other words, do you know what you want to obtain?"

"It seems to be related to the problem of Yangguo."

"Know nothing else?"

Wen Xingying nodded.

The man couldn't help laughing again, "Why didn't you even tell you the specific content of the task that your elder brother gave you, well, since he didn't say it, I can't say more," the man restrained his smile and said gently : "To be honest, I knew that someone would come to steal the secret letter I received yesterday. Although I don't know who it will be, I know it will not be the enemy, because my enemy already knows the secret. Since it is not Enemy, I don't mind other people knowing. These days, I have always known that someone is watching my every move outside the house, but they have been keeping quiet. I also know that someone will enter this study at noon today. He must know that I I'm not in the study until the end of the day, so noon is the best time to act, and I came here at [-]:[-] noon because, if someone is capable, he must have obtained the secret letter by this time."

Wen Xingying didn't know what to say anymore. 
Seeing Wen Xingying's reaction, the man chuckled again, "Who knows, the person who came was the famous Mr. Ling Yi, but he didn't get the secret letter within the time I expected. It's really frustrating." I'm a little puzzled."

Wen Xingying still didn't speak, and didn't know what to say.

"Mr. Situ, don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. First, you haven't caused me the slightest loss, so there is no need to punish you; second, you are from Chiyan Villa, so I won't make things difficult for you. Conflict with Chiyan Villa, if you want this secret letter, you can send someone to steal it again, I will not stop it, as long as it is not discovered by me."

"In that case, why didn't you just hand over the letter to me?" Wen Xingying asked.

"Mr. Situ, you are entrusting all your tasks to your subordinates. Although it makes people feel a little bit criticized, but they are your subordinates, and it is right for you to obey orders. The subordinates are not your subordinates, and let you get something for nothing. Don't you?" Will you be ashamed? I have already said that if I let you go, you can still come back by yourself, or send someone to get it."

That Wen Xingying took a deep breath, "Forget it, I will give up this task." He seemed to have made some major decision, as if he was ready to be severely punished, and clasped his fists again: "My lord, Can you tell me your first and last name?"

"Don't dare, I'm Jiang Yun."

"Please allow me to call Brother Jiang, I'm sorry to bother you today, and I will visit you again in the future, but at that time I will be a visiting friend."

"Then I must prepare good wine and good food to wait for Brother Situ."
When going back, Wen Xingying didn't take off her night clothes, but walked out from the main entrance openly, looked back at the lantern with the words "Jiang's Mansion" written on it, and couldn't help sighing.

Seeing Wen Xingying come out, Huang Jing quickly got off the wall and walked to him, "Ying, what did you say?"

"I said I will give up this mission."

"Why?" Huang Jing said in shock, "Why did you give up?"

"You don't know. I didn't tell him. He knew that I was going to steal the secret letter. He even gave me two quarters of an hour on purpose. He was disappointed that I didn't steal the letter. You said I still have Do you want to steal your face again?"

"But, I can go..." Huang Jing whispered.

"No need." That Wen Xingying interrupted him, "I give up, you immediately repay the elder brother for me, I will accept any punishment."

"……All right."
