Clouds and Waters

The next day, Yun Chenxiao told Xiao Qi to pack his bags.Xiao Qi went in without knowing it, and asked repeatedly, Yun Chenxiao faltered and said: "Qi'er, I'm... I'm going to Pinheng Academy with King Ning to study, Qi'er..."

Xiao Qi had been packing things casually, but after hearing Yun Chenxiao's words, she suddenly let go of her hands, and the objects in her hands fell to the ground, but she didn't feel it, her eyes were full of fear.Yun Chenxiao looked suspiciously, picked up the objects on the ground and put them on the table, pulled Xiaoqi to sit on the bed and asked, "Qi'er, what's wrong with you? I'm going to study, not to the underworld, why are you so nervous?" ..."

"Miss, don't say any more!" Xiaoqi interrupted Yun Chenxiao's words in a sharp voice, and there was a slight choke in his words, and he grabbed Yun Chenxiao's arm anxiously and asked: "Miss, are you going with King Ning?" Then, master, will you not stop me?"

Xiao Qi's words were strange, thinking that she was a little maid who didn't leave the house, how could she know the details of King Ning?Yun Chenxiao didn't guard against it, but when she heard the strangeness of her voice, she scratched her nose and said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing to study. Qi'er, how old are you, and you still cry? How about this, you also clean up." Get something, go with me. Go to study, there must be someone around to wait on you. I don't think His Highness King Ning will be so stingy."

Xiao Qi said "Yeah", first she lowered her head, and then slowly, she looked at Yun Chenxiao in disbelief. Yun Chenxiao thought she would be ecstatic and packed up her things happily, but unexpectedly, Xiao Qi's face was filled with tears. After a fleeting flash of indescribable joy, it was never found again.After a while, her clear and beautiful eyes were crystal clear, as if there were tears flickering.

Yun Chenxiao was stunned, not knowing what was wrong with Xiao Qi, and quickly coaxed: "Xiao Qi, you don't want to go, do you? Okay, forget it. How could I force you? Hey, I only think about myself Be happy, but ignore your feelings."

Xiao Qi shook his head violently, tears welling up in his eyes.Yun Chenxiao pressed her shoulder and said anxiously: "Then why are you?"

Xiao Qi wiped her tears and said: "Xiao Qi wants to go, a thousand want to go, 1 want to go. Xiao Qi wants to serve Miss forever. But Xiao Qi can't go. I...I really can't go ..." As she spoke, her voice was already at its lowest point: "If I'm really just Xiao Qi, that would be fine. Just Xiao Qi, just Miss' Xiao Qi, nothing else."

Yun Chenxiao couldn't hear clearly, and said in a daze, "If you're not Xiao Qi, who else could it be?"

Xiao Qi straightened her sad face for a while, and said calmly: "No...it's nothing. Xiao Qi said it casually." She said that she was tidying up her things in a panic, concealing the turmoil in her heart.However, my heart was troubled by emotion, and I didn't know whether it was excitement or sadness, and even my hands were shaking.

Yun Chenxiao frowned and looked at Xiao Qi's petite figure, faintly feeling that this matter was a little strange, she held Xiao Qi's hand tightly and asked: "No! Xiao Qi, you must have something to hide from me, is it someone? Bullying you? Or, someone threatened you, not allowing you to follow me? Or, Xiao Qi, do you have other difficulties?"

Xiao Qi couldn't hold back the tears again, her biting lips turned purple, almost bleeding from biting, but she still shook her head stubbornly, without saying a word.

Yun Chenxiao said softly: "Qi'er, you and I love sisters, do you have anything else to hide from me? Don't worry, no matter who threatens you, I will make the decision for you. But, Xiao Qi, do you have anything to hide from me? What are your difficulties? Tell me! You are so silent, how can I help you?"

Xiao Qi tremblingly said: "Miss, no one threatened me. It's just that Xiao Qi really can't go. Miss, when you go to Jiangnan, maybe you will meet someone you want to see more. It's just...just remember, miss, Be careful in everything, no matter who you are, don't give up all your heart."

The more Yun Chenxiao listened, the more amazed she became, and she felt that she was falling into layers of mystery. Not only her father, but even this little maid who was close to her, became unpredictable, not the usual simple appearance.

Yun Chenxiao nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

Only then did Xiao Qi smile slightly, blushing and unnaturally pulled his hand out of Yun Chenxiao's tightly clenched hand.Yun Chenxiao sighed lightly, and said seriously: "Xiao Qi, I won't force you to say something you don't want to say. You can talk to me someday if you want to. But Xiao Qi, you also remember that no matter what you have No matter what difficulty, at least I can help you."

Xiao Qi was speechless for a moment, he was hesitant to say anything, he was nailed to the spot in a daze.

Yun Chenxiao touched Xiao Qi's forehead, and said with a smile, "What? Is Huanxi stupid?"

With a groan, Xiao Qi threw herself into Yun Chenxiao's arms, hugged her tightly and said, "If Xiao Qi has made a big mistake, will Miss forgive you?"

Yun Chenxiao giggled and said, "No."

Xiaoqi's heart suddenly felt as if a big mouth was torn open abruptly, the cold wind poured in fiercely, the pain was excruciating, his eyes darkened, and he almost fell down.Yun Chenxiao saw that Xiao Qi cared so much about what she said casually, so she quickly put her arms around Xiao Qi and explained: "I won't forgive you. Because no matter what you do wrong, I won't blame you. You don’t need to forgive me. I don’t blame you for the big mistake. Besides, what mistakes will you make? It’s nothing more than dropping a few bottles, breaking a few bowls and so on.”

Xiao Qi's chest felt hot, and she raised her head and asked in a trembling voice, "Miss, are you serious?"

Yun Chenxiao raised her eyebrows and said seriously: "You still don't believe me? I lied to you as a puppy!" Her face was determined, but also a little sly.

Xiao Qifang's heart fluttered wildly, but she was extremely happy, her face flushed, and she said with satisfaction: "Then, that's all right."

Yun Chenxiao felt that Xiao Qi's heart was beating faster and her face was hot, so she didn't suspect him, but thought that Xiao Qi was so frightened that her face was blushing and her heart was beating, so she hugged Xiao Qi and patted her back, saying: "Be so timid, admit it quickly, did you drop Daddy's antique vase? Do you want me to tell you a favor?"

Xiao Qi said "Huh?" without saying a word, just buried her hot face in Yun Chenxiao's arms, and didn't want to lift it up again.

The three-day limit has passed in a blink of an eye.This day, just as Yun Chenxiao was fully dressed and washed, Xiao Er ran over in a panic and said, "Miss, it seems that someone is coming to welcome you! Master told you to go."

Yun Chenxiao joked: "The one who came to meet me? The one who greeted my relatives? Hehe..."

Xiao Er scratched the back of his head, embarrassed.

Yun Chenxiao didn't care too much, pulled Xiao Qi up and said, "Qi'er, let's go, give me a ride before we talk. Otherwise, it will be too boring to be alone."

Xiao Qi shrinks back and says in embarrassment: "Miss, I won't go...I...can't..."

Yun Chenxiao was originally full of anticipation, but seeing Xiao Qi's reluctance, his fiery heart immediately felt like an ice pack, and when it cooled down to the end, Yi Yi's expression suddenly disappeared, his eyes dimmed suddenly, and he said disappointedly: "Then...forget it. Qi'er, I'm not at home in the future, you have to take care of yourself." After saying that, he glanced at Xiao Qi again, and left slowly.

Xiao Qi watched Yun Chenxiao's back getting farther and farther away, and endured it for a long time, only feeling entangled in his heart, full of affection, unable to vomit, and suddenly shouted: "Miss...Miss!" His eyes were blurred with tears.

Yun Chenxiao's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't look back, and strode out, but somehow felt a little confused.Xiao Qi seemed to be still screaming, but finally he didn't have the courage to catch up.The voice also became weaker and weaker, no matter the shout or the sobbing sound, they all disappeared with the wind.

In the hall, King Ning has a jade crown with hair tied, a moon-white python robe, a light-colored brocade belt inlaid with dragons around his waist, and black shallow boots. with.The two standing on the left and right beside him are exactly the Wen and Wu that Yun Chenxiao met in Jingshan Academy.Yun Zhengting, dressed in a straight official robe, sat down on the right, with a solemn expression, looking down at the floor.

Yun Chenxiao was surprised, she didn't expect that King Ning would come here in person, and he was dressed in formal attire, which seemed very formal.She walked forward, kowtowed and said: "Minister Yun Chenxiao, I have met His Highness King Ning, His Highness is a thousand years old..."

King Ning put down his teacup suddenly, and said with a smile, "Niece Xian, why should you be polite to me? Give me a seat."

Yun Chenxiao didn't give in, stood up and sat down next to Yun Zhengting.

King Ning nodded and said, "Okay, girl Yun is here too, this king's trip was worthwhile! Yun Shuai, I took your daughter away, you won't be dissatisfied with this king, will you?"

A cold sweat broke out on Yun Zhengting's forehead, and he hurriedly said: "I don't dare, Xiao'er is appreciated by the prince, it is her blessing, it's too late for me to be happy, how can I be dissatisfied?"

King Ning laughed loudly and said, "Shuai Yun, it's really hidden! I'm afraid it's a disagreement?" He paused for a while, and then said, "Hey? Shuai Yun, where is Mrs. Yun? This king listens. Said, Mrs. Yun Li, her maiden name is Xiaowei, but she is a great beauty, Yun Shuai, you are a treasure in the golden house, haha, don’t you ask me to take a look?”

Yun Zhengting's whole body was shocked, and he said inwardly in shock: "This Prince Ningtu has great supernatural powers, how can he even know Xiaowei's boudoir name? From this point of view, my every move can't escape his eyes!" When he thought of this, his clothes were already wet with sweat, he stood up and cupped his hands and replied cautiously: "Young lady got sick yesterday and is not feeling well, please forgive me for the crime of disrespect."

King Ning smiled lightly and said, "I'm afraid it's not because of a disease, but because someone kicked it? Hey, I don't know who is so bold! Say hello to Mrs. Yun for the king. Just say what the king said, who dares to be here?" Yun Shuai's mansion is wild..." He walked to Yun Zhengting's side, patted Yun Zhengting's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "I will definitely not spare him!"

Yun Zhengting's scalp was numb, and he replied repeatedly: "Yes, yes..."

King Ning nodded and said: "It's good to know! Yun Shuai, I'm leaving now. The gate of Jingzhou depends on Yun Shuai's good guard!" After finishing speaking, he stepped out early.

Seeing King Ning walking away, Yun Zhengting's beating heart gradually calmed down, and he said, "Xiao'er, you..."

Yun Chenxiao had seen the scene just now clearly, and immediately said firmly: "Don't worry, Daddy, my daughter can handle it! Daddy, take care!" After finishing speaking, she knelt down and kowtowed three times, and hurriedly followed King Ning .So full of confidence, neither humble nor overbearing, she left the Yun family compound, the Jingzhou city gate, the Huguang land boundary, and the hometown where she has lived for 17 years, and embarked on a road of no return.

******************************************************************************

The boats and carriages alternated, and after traveling for almost ten days, Yun Chenxiao drove the carriage alone, in a daze, just eating, sleeping and sleeping, regardless of what happened outside.Sometimes King Ning would come to chat with Yun Chenxiao. At this time, Yun Chenxiao still admired and admired this charming King Ning, but he was no longer just thinking of a little girl. In her admiration and admiration, there was a little speculation and research mixed in. She wanted to see what kind of abilities this man had, and most importantly, what shortcomings and weaknesses did he have.But ten days passed, King Ning seemed to be an impeccable and perfect person, Yun Chenxiao racked his brains, but he didn't find any weakness in him.Not only that, but the people around King Ning also seemed to be bottomless pits, revealing a bit of extraordinaryness.Yun Chenxiao thought carefully and observed every detail, but still found nothing.Fortunately, she didn't deliberately discover anything, but she was purely curious.Later, when I found out that there was no merit, I no longer attached myself to it. I just deduced the arithmetic every day, and solved the problems by myself.

This day, Yun Chenxiao was lowering her head and concentrating on the questions when suddenly the carriage braked suddenly, and she followed the carriage forward for a while, her forehead just touched the tea seat in the carriage.

Yun Chenxiao couldn't help but frowned in pain, opened the curtain and asked, "What are you doing?"

The coachman jumped down and was about to speak when Zhong Bao came over.He hastily put down his whip, bowed and said, "Lord Zhong!"

Zhong Bao didn't look at him directly, and looked directly at Yun Chenxiao.Yun Chenxiao recognized Zhong Bao as the one who pushed her that day, and she didn't like him at all, and she was slightly angry at this moment, so she put down the curtain and ignored Zhong Bao

Zhong Bao said loudly from outside the car: "Miss Yun, you have arrived in Hangzhou City now. The lord wants you to rest for a while, pack your bags tomorrow, and follow Mr. Murong to Pinheng Academy in Yandang Mountain."

Yun Chenxiao agreed angrily.Seeing that Yun Chenxiao was so defiant, Zhong Bao was quite dissatisfied and said, "You girl, are you still working hard? The prince is just trying something new for a while. When you get tired of playing, I don't know where your soul will go, little girl." Now leave angrily.

On the same day, Yun Chenxiao was arranged to stay in a luxury hotel near Prince Ning's Mansion.Rather than saying that this is an inn, it would be better to say that it is a specialized hospitality residence of Prince Ning's Mansion.King Ning likes to make friends all over the world, which is quite popular.And the palace is a thunderous place, and idlers are not allowed to enter.King Ning bought out several large inns nearby, no matter who the visitor is, as long as they are capable, anyone can stay, and the cost will be borne by Prince Ning's mansion.Many desperadoes in the world, those who got into lawsuits, or were chased and killed by their enemies, relying on some skills, all took refuge in Prince Ning's subordinates.Naturally, the government didn't dare to make things difficult, even those people in the Jianghu had mostly received Ning Wang's kindness, and took advantage of others. As long as they were in the territory of Ning Wang's mansion, no one dared to do anything. This seemed to have become an iron law of the Jianghu.

Yun Chenxiao entered the inn, looked around, and saw that there were many people from all walks of life.She looked around curiously, and suddenly heard the person behind her say dumbly: "Miss Yun, you'd better not provoke these people, otherwise, there will be no good fruit to eat."

Yun Chenxiao turned her head and saw that it was Mr. Murong who read her paper that day.This Mr. Murong's single name is only one word, he is the head of the Pinheng Academy, other than that, Yun Chenxiao knows nothing about him, and when he heard him remind himself, he smiled and said: "Thank you Mr. Murong for reminding me. "

Murong Guang snorted, looking like a haggard tree, he led Yun Chenxiao forward with a blank expression.Yun Chenxiao followed behind him, step by step, thinking: "This old man is another weird person! Doesn't King Ning have a normal person around him?" She didn't realize that, when Murong Guang suddenly turned around, his eyes were dead. Fish eyes stared at Yun Chen and said calmly: "Miss Yun, the old man is weird, you can't be disrespectful to His Highness Prince Ning!"

Yun Chenxiao was taken aback, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you...how do you know what I'm thinking? What on earth do you..."

"Hahahaha, Master Murong, look at you like this, the dead wood magic skill has improved again! My nephew really admires you!"

The voice came from above everyone's heads, Yun Chenxiao was very curious, looked up, and after searching for a long time, he saw a person sitting on the highest beam, the voice seemed to be made by this person.

Murong Guang's face was slightly moved, and he said: "Oh, it turned out to be Nephew Huo, why, you also came to seek refuge with His Royal Highness King Ning?"

The man on the beam laughed again, and said: "Even though Huo is unbearable, he hasn't reached the point of relying on others and being his subordinate dog. Uncle Shi is Uncle Shi, and his level is indeed much higher than that of nephew!"

Murong Guang was slightly angry, but after thinking about it, he said with a smile: "Huo Hengyang, then you came to Ningwang's territory, you didn't come to drink, did you? Maverick, arrogant. Is it because the nieces and nieces of the water gate are not pleasing to the eye, and they are looking for trouble for your fire gate?"

The person on the beam didn't speak any more this time, Yun Chenxiao only felt a red light flash in front of his eyes, and he didn't know how the person changed, and he was already in front of him.Yun Chenxiao took a closer look, but saw that this man was tall and mighty, with thick eyebrows and eagle eyes, a square nose, a rough face, a flushed face, and a big knife behind his back, standing in front of him like a mountain.

When Yun Chenxiao saw him, he immediately recognized him, and said happily, "Big man! It's you!"

Huo Hengyang was not wary of the people beside Murong Guang, but when Yun Chenxiao yelled, he focused his attention on it, recognized it for a while, then smiled and said, "Sister, are you okay? Hey, I only think your men's clothes are elegant and unrestrained , Changed into women's clothes, and she was so elegant and refined, I didn't recognize it all at once. Why did you get mixed up with the old wood? Not good, not good!"

Yun Chenxiao didn't have time to elaborate, and asked, "Big man, where was the girl who chased you on horseback that day?"

When Huo Hengyang heard this, he was immediately embarrassed, his already flushed face was covered with a layer of bruise, and he said coldly: "What day is that day? How can there be any girl?"

Yun Chenxiao said anxiously: "Why don't you remember? That girl looks like a fairy, she is dressed in green clothes, and she still calls you senior brother."

It's okay if Yun Chenxiao doesn't ask. When she asked, Murong Guang looked at Huo Hengyang proudly, and said mockingly: "Sure enough, unfortunately, I got what I said? That girl took out that veil in Jingzhou that day, and I just took it out." Guess is almost done. Hengyang, please tell the uncle, which junior sister have you offended? Hey, water and fire are never incompatible, you two always fight. Would you like your uncle to reconcile?"

Huo Hengyang waved his sleeve angrily and said: "Hey, you are worthy too? Although I can't deal with Minato girls, I am more than enough to deal with you. If you talk nonsense, I will make me angry, and I will burn you asshole!" Wood!" After saying that, he took a few steps, then suddenly turned his head back and said, "Sister, this old wood is not a good thing. You should hurry up, girl." He patted the table with his hand and shouted, "Bartender, serve the wine!" liquor!"

Yun Chenxiao heard them talking, and thought in her heart: "Water Gate, Fire Gate, Wooden Gate? Could it be... Could it be that they are the descendants of Xue Nvxia? Then..."

Before I could think about it, I felt a gust of cool wind blowing around my face, a faint fragrance floated, and Yun Chenxiao's sleeves fluttered lightly.Accompanied by the breeze, a female voice was heard: "Brother Huo, a great hero, did you come to King Ning's place in order to take refuge?"

That voice is charming but not flattering, and it is very pleasing to the ear.When Yun Chenxiao heard this, all other thoughts were completely eliminated, and she only had one thought: "Is it her? Is she here?" Thinking of this, she became nervous for no reason, and her palms were sweating.
