The princess and the lord are brothers and sisters

Yang Yingjun and the twelve dead men parted ways with the Fengge troupe at Jiangling Wharf. After that, Yang Yingjun changed back into men's clothes and came to Xinyang City by land.Two days later it was the day of the meeting in Chaohelou. In order not to attract attention, Yang Yingjun and the twelve dead men separated and stayed alone in Chaohelou.

On the day of the meeting, Yang Yingjun sat in the pavilion on the second floor of Chaohe Building early in the morning, drinking tea and eating snacks alone.On the surface, he was careless, but his eyes were shuttling through the bustling people downstairs, trying to find that person.

"Mr. Rong, are you up? Do you want something to eat?" Someone came down from the stairs, and the shop assistant was trying to greet him.Yang Yingjun thought boredly, this person must be either rich or expensive, otherwise how could the snobby guy be so attentive.

The man spoke, his voice full of magnetism: "As usual, let's have another jug ​​of good wine."

"Pfft!" Yang Yingjun didn't have time to swallow a sip of tea, and sprayed it all out.Regardless of the splashed skirt, he stood up abruptly and looked at the man.

That person seemed to have noticed him early in the morning, and the moment he looked over, he met his scorching gaze.The gaze that seemed to scald someone made Yang Yingjun's heart beat faster—it was pure fright.The other party actually came down from upstairs, which shows that the other party, like him, has long been staying in Chaohe Building.Thinking of this, Yang Yingjun was startled again.

The man walked slowly, and Yang Yingjun stared at him without blinking.I have really grown taller and stronger than five years ago.Only the appearance has not changed, the long and narrow phoenix eyes, the alluring cinnabar mole between the eyebrows, the curve of the lips that seems to be a half-smile... are still so annoying.

In a blink of an eye, the man had already come to him, and before he could react, he hugged him.

"..."

What the fuck?

The corner of Yang Yingjun's mouth twitched, and he fought hard: "Hey..."

The man's arms were as strong as iron hoops, holding Yang Yingjun tightly in his arms, and his strength continued to increase, as if he wanted to rub the slender woman in his arms into his flesh and blood.

Yang Yingjun was in pain, and unceremoniously kicked him on the calf.

The man loosened his grip, and Yang Yingjun took the opportunity to push him away and backed away.

"Sorry," the man saw that Yang Yingjun's whole body was tense, and he stared at him vigilantly like a kitten. He laughed and said, "I couldn't help it for a while, and I didn't mean to offend. But, I haven't seen you for many years, and you seem to have grown taller."

Facing this guy who was both familiar and unfamiliar, who was both a pen pal and an enemy for many years, Yang Yingjun was in a complicated mood. He didn't know how to face him at the moment, so he could only say dryly: "Everyone, each other."

Ji Yinrong smiled brighter and his voice became softer: "I miss you very much."

His eyes are bright and clear, and the heat in his eyes proves the strength of "missing".Yang Yingjun was so thick-skinned, his face became hot when he saw him, he quickly waved his hand to interrupt his concentrated gaze, and said, "Speak to the business."

At this time, the shop assistant served the food and wine, and looked at Ji Yinrong with a flattering expression: "Mr. Rong, do you want to go to the private room as usual?"

Yang Yingjun's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that he hadn't met him, presumably it was because he was dining in the private room, right?So, does he know that he stayed here two days ago?Based on his understanding of Ji Yinrong, the other party probably already knew about it, but he deliberately avoided seeing him, right?So what is his purpose?

"However?"

Yang Yingjun came back to his senses, and met Ji Yinrong's interesting eyes.He only heard the other party say: "What are you thinking about again? Are you frowning so tightly?" The huge smile on the other party's face made him want to punch him.

Taking a deep breath, he secretly told himself that "big things are the most important thing", Yang Yingjun said: "Sit down and talk about it."

"Okay." Ji Yinrong seemed to be in a very good mood, even his eyes were smiling.Yang Yingjun had never seen him so relaxed, and he was a little uncomfortable.

After relatively sitting down, Yang Yingjun remembered something: "You alone?" As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance around.

Ji Yinrong supported his cheek with one hand, and stared at him tenderly: "Meeting you, what do you need so many people for?"

"..."

I haven't seen him for many years, but his numbing skill seems to be increasing.It had been a long time since anyone had spoken to him like this, and Yang Yingjun couldn't help but get several layers of goosebumps.

"you……"

Yang Yingjun was about to speak, but the other party interrupted him: "However, this is a Xinyang dish, 'fish-flavored eggplant', try it." As he spoke, he scooped a spoonful into the bowl in front of Yang Yingjun. inside.

"..." Yang Yingjun really wanted to blurt out "I won't eat it", but whether it was the attentive smiling eyes of the other party or the fragrant fish-flavored eggplant, it was hard for him to refuse.So he lowered his head, scooped up the fish-flavored eggplant and put it into his mouth, he couldn't help thinking: Is it because of the five-year gap?Why are you so uncomfortable with him now?

Ji Yinrong obviously didn't expect her to be so docile, he was stunned for a while, his eyes overflowed with light, like the blue sea and blue sky under the sun.Seeing that she was about to stop chopsticks, he hurriedly continued to serve her dishes: "There is also this, dragon and phoenix dumplings, you can eat some too. This, steamed fish, the fish melts in the mouth, very refreshing..."

Yang Yingjun was full of thoughts, and while thinking about it, he unconsciously ate all the dishes that Ji Yinrong put into his bowl.When he realized it, half of the dishes on the table were gone, and the gentle smile on Ji Yinrong's face that seemed to drown him made him want to find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

"..."

Seeing that Ji Yinrong was going to pour him another drink, Yang Yingjun hurriedly covered the mouth of his glass and said, "I don't drink." Of course, this was just an excuse, and the next peace talks were coming, so he had to stay sober.

Ji Yinrong didn't force it, he filled the wine and said: "But you are willing to eat with me like this, I am very happy."

At this time, Yang Yingjun had already figured it out. The reason why he was so uncomfortable with Ji Yinrong now was probably because he had been a pen pal for many years.Life in the army is boring, and I have exchanged letters with Ji Yinrong, who is far away in thousands of mountains and rivers, for many years without knowing it.They often confide their troubles to each other in letters, and share each other's lives and thoughts like friends.Maybe subconsciously, I can no longer simply regard the other party as an enemy like I did five years ago?

"However, I would like to share many things with you, so if you have any doubts, feel free to speak up, and you don't need to think about it." Ji Yinrong suddenly said as if he had seen through his mind.

Yang Yingjun was startled, cheered himself up, and said: "I know that your southern expedition is to achieve national unification. Then, cut off the prince's title of Zhennan King, and let him lead troops to guard Suzhou or the border of Dongzhu, so you will Don't worry? Will you be willing to retreat?"

Ji Yinrong smiled slightly, his eyes full of reverie: "It's really nostalgic. Five years ago, you negotiated with me like you are now, but your attitude was a little more aggressive then."

"..." Yang Yingjun's face darkened, and he said, "If you want my attitude to be the same as it was five years ago, I don't mind at all."

Ji Yinrong laughed heartily, and said: "That's better, it's fine now, I never dreamed that you would be so calm and amiable to me."

Yang Yingjun sneered and said, "Is it interesting? You don't know why? Five years ago we were stronger than you, so my attitude was naturally arrogant; now we have something to ask of you, so naturally we have to stay low. Let's just say it, How are you going to retreat?"

"But I'm still so impatient."

"..." Yang Yingjun resisted the urge to swear, and said, "I'll kick you from here to the street in a while, and you'll know how impatient I am."

Ji Yinrong laughed again, leaned forward suddenly, and said in a low voice, "It's still early, why don't we play a little game first?"

Yang Yingjun frowned and said, "Game?"

Ji Yinrong glanced around lazily, and said: "If I can find out your people one by one, you will stay here with me for three days. Otherwise, I will order someone to escort you back, and I promise you, Let Ji Yinli live."

Yang Yingjun's heart trembled, Ji Yinrong said that, he knew that the twelve dead men were nearby.

But the conditions he proposed were so attractive, Yang Yingjun gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, a gentleman."

Ji Yinrong looked at her with watery eyes: "Quickly whip the horse."

Yang Yingjun pretended to be indifferent, and said, "You can start now."

Ji Yinrong picked up the jug, poured wine for himself, and said in a casual tone: "There are four men at the next table, should they all belong to you?"

Yang Yingjun's heart was beating violently, the top of his face was still dripping: "What evidence do you have?"

Ji Yinrong glanced at him with a smile, a sly light flashed across his eyes.Then, he slowly picked up the wine glass, and when Yang Yingjun realized what he was going to do, he had already thrown the wine glass on the ground.

With a "bang", the wine glass fell to the ground, and the aroma of the wine overflowed for a while.

The four men sitting and drinking tea at the next table stood up suddenly like frightened birds, and all cast vigilant gazes here.

Yang Yingjun supported his forehead without a word, and Ji Yinrong raised his eyebrows proudly at him, actually a bit childish.

"Come closer."

Yang Yingjun immediately asked vigilantly, "What are you doing?"

Ji Yinrong laughed: "Are you still afraid of what I will do to you in public?"

This seriously offended Yang handsome man's self-esteem, so he raised his head and raised his chest, and said, "Who is afraid?" As he spoke, he leaned forward and put his head closer.

Ji Yinrong also leaned over, and the two of them were almost head to head, turning their faces to look downstairs together.

"If I'm not mistaken, the candied haws seller over there, and the rouge gouache seller on the left. One, two, three, four...four people walking around downstairs pretending to be passing by, wearing black and gray respectively. , blue and khaki sackcloth are yours."

Yang Yingjun was secretly startled, and seriously doubted whether Ji Yinrong was involved in criminal investigation.In his opinion, those dead men were disguised so seamlessly, I really don't know how he could tell?

"Gone?"

Ji Yinrong rubbed his chin and pondered, "Hmm... I was eating noodles with a child in front of the noodle stall, pretending to be the child's father, and the bearded man at the next table should be the same."

Yang Yingjun couldn't help but said: "Why do you think that those who ate noodles together were not a father and son?"

Ji Yinrong smiled and said, "Because I recognize that child. The day I first arrived in Xinyang City, that little beggar begged from me. Even now that he's washed and dressed in ordinary children's clothes, I still recognize him."

Yang Yingjun's eyes widened: "How many days have you been in Xinyang?"

Ji Yinrong stretched out a palm.

"Five days!?" Yang Yingjun asked in confusion, "You have nothing to do? What are you doing here so early?"

Ji Yinrong looked at him deeply, his amber pupils seemed to overflow with water.He lowered his voice, his voice was full of magnetism and charm: "Because I can't wait to see you."
