Rebirth of Peach Blossom

Chapter 14: Missing

Daxu's number one talented daughter, Cheng Wanning, is getting married.

This news was circulated in a day, and even though the country was still in turmoil, this news caused the people of Daxu to discuss it like a hot pot.

Cheng Wanning is a low-key person, and she would not have such a talent in the first place, but for some reason, Princess Lingde repeatedly found fault, and even forced Cheng Wanning to show off her piano skills at a state banquet. Cheng Wanning was furious No matter what she did, whether it was piano, chess, calligraphy, painting or tea, wine, dance and music, her brilliance shocked everyone present, and they were all better than Princess Lingde. Since then, Cheng Wanning's talent has been widely spread.

It is not a secret that the King of Shonan made Cheng Wanning's marriage a condition before, and the King of Shonan even prepared to get married with great fanfare, never thinking that the marriage would not be possible. People sigh, thinking that a generation of talented women will be destroyed in the hands of a traitor.

However, the next day, a member of the Cheng family sneaked out and said that Cheng's mansion was about to welcome a young master. This young master was very powerful. He was the direct descendant of Mr. Unknown. He was good-looking and his temperament was indescribably elegant. What's even more unbelievable is that this son is the one who will marry Cheng Wanning!

******

In Cheng's mansion, Ye Ziyu was strolling in the back garden of the Cheng family. Many precious flowers had never been seen in the palace, and they bloomed more intensely than peach blossoms. There was no one around the huge back garden, and this is... ...Cheng Wanning's meaning.

When Marquis Zhongyi told Ye Ziyu that Cheng Wanning wanted to see her, his blood seemed to congeal, and he finally found his voice, deliberately calm but also visibly trembling.

This kind of marriage proposal without permission, this kind of marriage proposal that has to be agreed, is actually for Ah Ning...but it's just a different person to force the marriage, what's the difference from that Xiao Shi?

In the pavilion surrounded by delicate flowers in the garden, the gauze flutters slightly with the wind, and a woman in pink is vaguely seen drawing something with a brush. Ye Ziyu puts her footsteps lightly, step by step, until she stands outside the pavilion, the fluttering gauze can blow After crossing the cheek, he stopped, his hands trembled slightly, and he still lifted the veil, looking at the back of the man painting, he didn't know how to speak for a while.

It was Cheng Wanning who broke the silence. She didn't turn around, and her writing was still flowing, "I heard from my father, your name is Ye... Ziyu?"

"Well, it's Ye Ziyu."

Hearing this, the painter paused for a moment, sighed, put down his pen and turned around, looking at Ye Ziyu without blinking.

Ye Ziyu looked at her, his eyes still had the original clarity, even if he was forced to marry, even if he was in the cusp of wind and waves, he still remained calm, and he lowered his eyes slightly after a while, "I'm being abrupt."

Cheng Wanning smiled, she had a cute smile, bright eyes and bright teeth, "Your name is very similar to an old friend of mine, I thought it was her..." Her tone was a little low, but there was a smile on her face, "I was also confused. She is a girl, two years younger than me... Although you are delicate, you are not a girl. It was me who was rude."

These words made Ye Ziyu's heart tense instantly, and he didn't know how to answer the words, so he managed to regain some of his usual composure, "Miss Cheng and I have never met before, and I don't seem to have any objection to marrying Miss Cheng...? "

Cheng Wanning blinked and smiled slyly, "When I knew Xiao Shi's plan earlier, I knew I was standing in a dead end. I thought I couldn't get out, but you showed up." Cheng Wanning turned around and turned around. The tea was transferred from the stool at the side to the table, and it was at this time that Ye Ziyu noticed that there was a sudden drop of ink on the lush peach blossom in the painting.

The sound of tea gurgling was indescribably pleasant. "Your appearance made me realize that this situation has changed. No matter what purpose you want to marry me, at least you are not like Xiao Shi, and no matter what happens in the future, at least now, I would like to thank you for submitting to Muddy Water. The hand I stretched out. Let me thank you for the cup of tea I cooked, Mr. Ye, can you show me your face?"

Ye Ziyu rubbed his nose, sat down on one side, and didn't respond, but looked at Cheng Wanning gently, through the lingering fragrance of tea, at the person he had been clinging to for a lifetime, but still refused to let go.

******

After the news of Cheng Wanning's engagement spread throughout Xu, the King of Shonan also got the news not long after. He was furious as expected, and the army was faintly ready to move. An urgent letter was sent overnight. Send it to Xudu's dragon case.

Ye Ziyu looked at the livid-faced emperor, and yawned leisurely, "Now Xiao Shi can only choose another person to marry."

"Do you want him to re-elect? Look! Look at this letter! There are threats between the lines! What did you say to fool him so that he will suffer the consequences? Do you really think that I am afraid of him?!"

Ye Ziyu curled her lips, wasn't she just afraid of him, otherwise why was she forced to ask Ping Xi for help?But he still respectfully said, "Of course not, it's just that now we have to make Xiao Shi think that we are afraid of him, and the arrogant soldiers will be defeated. They have been fighting until now, and they have not yet gained a foothold, so internal changes are happening. It is prosperity and decline. It's time, Caomin remembers that the emperor has two grown-up princesses? Princess Lingde and Princess Lingzheng? Let Xiao Shi choose between the two princesses..."

As soon as the words fell, the memorial lamps and candles on the dragon case were smashed to the ground, "Presumptuous! That's my princess! Daxu's princess! Cheng Wanning can't marry, but my Daxu's princess can?! "

Ye Ziyu smiled, at this time there were only him and the emperor in the imperial study, and I don't know what the emperor was thinking, none of the ministers of the court was summoned.

"Your Majesty, if I say something loyal to the emperor, I am afraid that the emperor will not believe it. He only thinks that I am a member of King Pingxi. Then I will say something that the emperor can see? You agreed to marry Cheng Wanning this time. Because of the pressure from the Cheng family... Don't blame the grassroots for saying that they are treasonous, even if there is no chaos among the princes, the Zhang family, the Cheng family, the Feng family... these powerful families, can the emperor guarantee that they will not cause chaos in the future? The emperor does not want to... …Take the opportunity to wipe them all out, never to cause future troubles, and leave a world that belongs entirely to your Xiao family to future generations?"

The emperor seems to have calmed down at this time, or maybe he has never really panicked.Wei Wei leaned back, "I really don't understand what you mean."

Ye Ziyu lowered his head slightly, "A person like Mister Wuming, who supported orthodoxy since then, as a disciple of his old master's school, how could he have other thoughts?"

"Aren't you working for King Pingxi?"

Ye Ziyu smiled, "Yes, but... I only do things that are loyal to the emperor."

******

Ye Ziyu got the house bestowed by the emperor, and the scale was close to that of the main house of a big family like the Cheng family. He was favored for a while, and the scenery was unparalleled. Even if there is no official position now, the whole Xu knows that he must not Offended.

Ye Ziyu sat beside the charcoal fire, it was cold in spring recently, and she felt a little cold, her jade-like hands were slightly red in the firelight, she looked at the swaying branches outside, and sighed softly, she was in a high position, she was indeed the most suspicious On the surface, he made such a high priority, but in fact, how much trust does he have in his heart?It's just to let King Pingxi know that Ye Ziyu is now from the Xiao family.

There was another gust of wind outside the house, Ye Ziyu leisurely paused in his warming posture, and said lightly, "Come out."

But in the blink of an eye, a man in black appeared in the room, kneeling behind Ye Ziyu, "I've seen Young Master Ye."

Ye Ziyu propped his chin and watched lazily, this person should not be weak in martial arts, and this person is by no means the only one around here. "King Pingxi asked you to come?"

"Yes, the lord asked his subordinates to come and assist Young Master Ye."

"Yeah," Ye Ziyu wasn't unhappy at all, he had no one under his command, and it was good to have these few at his disposal. "You just came back from outside? But what's the matter?"

"Miss Cheng is gone."

Slightly stunned, Ye Ziyu sat up straight, "Missing? How could she go out? Where is the person from?"

"Miss Cheng was going to pray for blessings at the temple on Wutai Mountain outside the city, but the tea shed on the mountainside was attacked. As for where... the subordinates are stupid and can't tell."

Ye Ziyu stood up, "You can see clearly, why didn't you help me?"

"The subordinates didn't get the order, so they dare not make decisions without authorization."

Ye Ziyu smiled coldly, "He is very good at talking." After speaking, he went out against the wind without even taking the cloak with him.The kneeling man in black gestured, and a group of people hurriedly followed behind.

Ye Ziyu went straight to Wutai Mountain outside the city, and did not hide his lightness kung fu at all, the men in black behind him had a hard time following them.At the foot of the mountain, they met the Cheng family and the Yulin army. Ye Ziyu continued to go up the mountain without even caring about the fight.

There was a mess on the mountainside, the fallen horse was still twitching slightly, all the servants were out of breath, and the little old man in the tea shed was hiding at the stove and trembling, looking really frightened.Other than that, there are no obvious clues.

Ye Ziyu quickly passed through the roads of Wutai Mountain in his mind. Wutai Mountain is not big, but it is very steep. The people from the Cheng family who came here because of the accident, brought a person with them, and she was still a girl. I'm afraid it will not be so easy to go down, so they can only stay on the mountain?

No... No, Ye Ziyu shook his head, the cold wind blew past, and the sticky sweat immediately stuck to his body, making him feel chilly.

At this time, the people from the bottom of the mountain also rushed up. Ye Ziyu looked at the leader and asked, "How did you know that Ah Ning was captured so quickly?" She was able to know in time because of King Pingxi's eyeliner. Woolen cloth?

A panting little girl stood up slightly trembling, "It's a slave... It seems that the situation is wrong, the miss asked the slave to go down the mountain to report..."

Looking at the dead bodies all over the floor, one can tell that the opponent is ruthless and strong enough to kill with one knife. How could such a conspicuous little girl with no martial arts be able to leave if she didn't have the intention of the opponent?In such a short period of time, it is absolutely impossible for the other party to descend the mountain...

So, Ah Ning is still on this mountain?Take away but not take away?It also attracted the siege of the Cheng family?What exactly does the other party want to do?Ye Ziyu's heart became more and more uneasy.
