Xianjun has a disaster

A few hours later—

The city lord's mansion of Yingcheng is located in the poor mountains of Qingzhou, and the city wall of Yingcheng built with the power of a state is impressive and majestic.

To put it bluntly, it is shabby.It is said to be the city lord's mansion, but compared with other wealthy households in the city, the courtyard walls are extremely thick, the guards are heavily guarded, and it only occupies a larger area. Not to mention the pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, and even the flowers and trees in the courtyard Rarely, standing in front of the window, one can only see the dusty ground, the dusty wall, and the sky in all directions.

Even if I just sit in a narrow room like nothing, I feel that something is not right.

Han Ying obviously knew this too. After introducing Ji Xueting and his party to the City Lord's Mansion, he held a dinner party in his own courtyard that night, prepared drinks and noodles, and entertained them as best he could.

It's a pity that even with such gracious hospitality, it's hard to hide the overly simple living habits in the City Lord's Mansion.

The people present were Ji Xueting who didn't care, and even Lu Ren, seeing the big table of tofu and cabbage, couldn't help being a little stunned.

As for Yanke...

Well, this aristocratic family's face is usually expressionless, neither liking nor dislike can be seen, the delicate eyebrows and eyes are painted on the face as if painted on, and the pupils are pitch black, showing no emotion at all .

However, Han Ying met him briefly a few times, and often involuntarily looked at him a few more times.

He instinctively felt that this Yan family son seemed to dislike him very much.But Han Ying thought about it for a long time, but couldn't figure out how he had offended the other party. In the end, he could only attribute this gloomy hostility to the bad temper of the son of the aristocratic family.

Several people gathered at the table, and none of them had the temperament and personality of those who are good at dancing with long sleeves, and the atmosphere immediately became a little awkward.Fortunately, there was still Ji Xueting in this group of people, he went straight to the table as if nothing had happened, first complained about the poor quality of the food, and then arranged the seats for Lu Ren and Yan Ke, and when he himself sat down and Da La La started begging for wine, and the atmosphere finally became a little more relaxed.

Of course, another reason for the improvement of the atmosphere may be that Yan Ke happened to be pressed by Ji Xueting's side, and Ji Xueting casually picked up the food for him before drinking.

"This dish isn't good, but it's better than the ones I made when I was on my way. Look at you, you haven't eaten much these days, and your complexion is too bad... For your own health, you should eat some decent dishes."

After Ji Xueting finished drinking, he came over and asked.

Maybe he is the only one in the whole world who can express such babbling, mother-in-law's words with charming tenderness.

Yan Ke was very silent, even when Ji Xueting talked to him, he just lowered his eyes and didn't reply.

However, when Ji Xueting smiled and turned his attention to other people, he still couldn't hold back, and secretly turned his head to look at Ji Xueting one more time.

【Yanyan. 】

【Yanyan? 】

Tianqu Xianjun, who was hiding under the shell of the aristocratic son, chewed over and over again the call he had heard before.

Knowing that no matter how Ji Xueting treats people or how he calls other people, it has nothing to do with him, but at this moment, Tianqu Xianjun, who doesn't even feel the most terrible curse in the heavenly court, feels that he is My heart feels like being bitten by thousands of insects... the pain is unbearable.

【Look, you hid in the heavens and didn't dare to approach him half a step, that's what happened.Maybe he has already forgotten you, you see, during the time you were away, he already had a lot of Yingying, Yanyan...]

Nian Snake whispered in Tian Qu's ear with Yan Ke's clear voice.

【To shut up--】

Beside the wine table, "Yan Ke" trembled slightly, a few scale-like spots appeared on the skin under the clothes quickly, but the next moment his eyes froze, the scales disappeared in an instant, except for himself , completely unnoticed by others.

But Ji Xueting was still talking to Han Ying. He shook the flagon, pointed at Han Ying and sighed with a smile:

"Anyway, you were also the one who walked the world with a sword in your arms when you were awake, and threw golden pills for beauties on the pillow. How did you end up in this field now?"

Han Ying was drinking slowly with a glass of wine at this time, when she heard Ji Xueting's words, she couldn't help but reply:

"Qingzhou is suffering, and it is not easy for the people to eat..."

He was about to say more, Ji Xueting quickly gestured for him to stop.

"Stop, stop, keep that little cleverness of changing the subject for yourself. You clearly know that I am not talking about this. When did I care about food and drink? My tongue is not good, and whatever I eat tastes the same. I lost gambling back then, I took you to hide from your creditors in the Cangshan ditch, and you ate stones for half a month, I don't believe you don't remember..." Speaking of the past, Ji Xueting raised his hand and shook the flagon with only a little bottom left, and said with a smile , "Otherwise, you wouldn't have prepared such strong wine for me."

The wine in his flagon, an ordinary person's throat would bleed if he drank it, but Ji Xueting didn't even blush when he drank it.

Yan Ke at the side was lowering her head, silently peeling the few skinny river prawns on the plate for Ji Xueting silently. He froze all of a sudden, and his face turned pale.

After a long pause like this, he slowly put the shapeless shrimp under his fingertips into his bowl, and then stopped.

As for Han Ying, when he heard about eating rocks, he shivered subconsciously.

But the next moment he remembered the past, he still couldn't help laughing.

"Using golden salt and jade as the seasoning, boiled stones as taro, the taste is really unforgettable."

"Just remember the past. I think, you are now... tsk tsk, dull and boring, and you look a lot like your old grandfather." Ji Xueting smiled again, with a relaxed tone, and wrote lightly, "You use sword People, if a swordsman thinks too much, the sword will soon fail."

Hearing the last sentence, Han Ying was taken aback, and involuntarily placed his hand on the empty scabbard at his waist - there used to be an extremely sharp sword there, but it was already pressed against a boulder for the sake of Yingcheng. Under this condition, the foundation of the whole city of Ying was made.

He did have a quick sword, but to save thousands of people in Qingzhou, the only thing he can do is to put down that sword.

Han Ying murmured in his heart, for a moment, he even expected Ji Xueting to scold him a few more words, so that he could explain this out.

However, Ji Xueting's words just now seemed to be unintentional words, and immediately after that, the fairy in white began to talk about other past events.Talk about how the proud and arrogant Han Ying did not know each other before, how the two fought swords in the rivers and lakes, how they went to spy on the most beautiful woman in the world, and how they entered the emperor's treasure house to steal the sword .

"...Later, Yanyan played chess with the little emperor, and finally won the sword. I remember when he left, the little emperor was still crying hahaha."

Ji Xueting's witty words were like pearls, and he told the past so vividly that even Lu Ren couldn't help but tilt his head over, listening with gusto.

"To save my face, senior, don't mention what happened back then. Back then, I was really young, and the jokes I made would be a bit embarrassing to mention now."

Although she spoke like this, the smile on Han Ying's face never faded, it was quite different from the dull and worried look before the city gate.

The only thing is that when he smiled, the lines at the corners of his eyes became deeper.

Ji Xueting pointed at him, then turned around and smiled with Lu Ren: "Well, this person is indeed much more honest than before, do you know that 20 years ago, he never refused to call me senior, even That big brother Ji, I bet with him for a long time before I forced him to speak."

After speaking, he said to Han Ying: "The external appearance is nothing but nothingness. Even though you look a bit like a bad old man now, I still prefer you to call me big brother like before."

"Before...well, Brother Ji," Han Ying sighed and changed her words, "It's been 20 years, and I don't understand why you still like being someone else's brother so much."

"Well, it's my personal hobby," Ji Xueting said with a soft smile, "Walking in the world, why not recognize a few more brothers?"

After speaking, he seemed to suddenly remember that there was a newly released "brother Yan Ke" beside him, and he put his arms around the young man's shoulder as soon as he stretched out his arms, and then talked about Yan Ke's origin and identity with Han Ying.

"—I also ask City Lord Han to send someone to the Central Plains to get in touch with Yan's family, so that my little brother Yan can return home as soon as possible."

Ji Xueting said.

He originally thought that Han Ying would agree to such a trivial matter, but he didn't expect the latter's face to darken slightly after hearing the plea, as if he had some difficulties.

"Brother Ji, there is actually something, I..."

"I'm tired."

Yan Ke suddenly spoke, almost rudely interrupting the conversation between Han Ying and Ji Xueting.Then without waiting for other people on the table to react, Yan Ke broke free from Xue Ting's embrace and stood up.

"I'm going back to my room to rest."

The young man frowned, as if he was enduring some great pain, he muttered with a pale face, and then staggered straight out of the banquet hall.

"Yan Ke?"

Seeing his distorted expression, Ji Xueting hurriedly chased him out.

God knows what happened to Yan Ke, she ran so fast, with Ji Xueting's footsteps, she even chased him to the back garden of the City Lord's Mansion.

In the back garden stood a big tree that was rarely seen in the City Lord's Mansion, with dense shade and dark shadow.

Ji Xueting grabbed Yan Ke under the tree.

"Young Master Yan, what's wrong with you?"

he asked.

Yan Ke turned his back to Ji Xueting, he seemed to be afraid of something, and seemed to be enduring something, Ji Xueting could feel the boy under his palm trembling constantly.

"Young Master Banquet..."

Ji Xueting loosened the shackles on the boy, and his voice suddenly became soft and warm.

This is the tactic he used to coax people.

"Just tell me if you have anything, don't hold it in your heart."

he said again.

Then he gave Yan Ke another hand.

Yan Ke followed his strength and turned around like a puppet.

"feast……"

"Were you so gentle to other people before?" Yan Ke opened his eyes wide, his dark pupils seemed to be lit with will-o'-the-wisps, and he asked word by word, "... How many younger brothers do you have in this world?" What about it? Will you treat them as well as me? Do you treat those younger brothers as if you want to send them away? "

Ji Xueting was slightly terrified by Yan Ke's eyes now.

The vague feeling of being stared at by something came again.

"Haha, this is just my hobby, I—"

Ji Xueting's words were blocked in his throat.

It's Yan Ke.

The young man grabbed Ji Xueting's shoulders almost fiercely, pushed him viciously to the tree trunk, then leaned over and bit his lips forcefully.

That kiss was actually less like a charming and sweet kiss, but more like the last prey of some kind of beast before death.

The young man who kept biting his lips was filled with a confusing pain and despair. Ji Xueting met the man's eyes and was a little dazed.

For a moment, Yan Ke's eyes reminded him of the dying monsters that he killed with a single sword in the daytime, they were all the kind... the last violent eyes before dying.

I don't know how long it took, but finally, Yan Ke suddenly let go of Ji Xueting.

With such a sudden kiss, Ji Xueting, who was one of the parties involved, returned to normal only after being dazed at the beginning.He wiped the corner of his mouth nonchalantly.

On the contrary, it was Yan Ke who staggered back a few steps like being frightened.Panting heavily, he put the back of his hand against his mouth, only showing a pair of eyes, looking at Ji Xueting in distress.

The two were speechless.

The mood is quite different.

Got it...

Ji Xueting rubbed his temples, lamenting in his heart.

It seems that I was careless and didn't grasp my sense of proportion.

"Feel sorry."

Before Yan Ke could speak, Ji Xueting made an extremely gentle and sincere apology.

"Young Master Yan, it should be my actions that caused you to misunderstand something."

How did you recite those words?Ji Xueting racked his brains to echo.

"However, I am not an ordinary person. I am really ruthless and loveless to others. I am ashamed to be loved by the wrong person." Seeing Yan Ke's face turning from pale to gray in front of him bit by bit, and her whole body was on the verge of fainting, Ji Xueting After a pause, his tone became more gentle, "Young people are the most easily moved. Once they are moved, they feel that they will never regret it in this life, and this love will never change."

"But I...I treat you...I know I shouldn't, but I still..."

Yan Ke murmured, as if she was talking to Ji Xueting, but also as if she was talking in her sleep.

Ji Xueting stepped forward and came to Yan Ke.He stretched out his hand, and brushed back Yan Ke's loose strand of long hair, then looked at the boy's desperate face, and sighed regretfully.

"Let's listen to my advice, Mr. Yan. It's better to put your heart on someone who really likes you like you are now."

"If you put an infatuation on a heartless person," Ji Xueting smiled, and seriously persuaded the young man in front of him, "...then it will not end well."

The author has something to say: Nian Snake: QAQ...

Yan Ke: QAQ...

Duet chorus - "How many good brothers do you have, why is every brother so haggard..."
