humble minister

Chapter 23 Returning to Beijing Smoothly

Rong Tang was so emotional that he didn't react until the sharp blade cut his neck, and the gurgling blood flowed out. He covered the wound and stared at the panting man who seemed to have exhausted all his strength. Lian Ying, angry from the heart, mixed with a trace of indescribable disappointment.

"How dare you hurt me?!" Rong Tang was so anxious that he couldn't help it, he slapped Lian Ying, pushed him back to the bed, pulled out the blood-stained blade and threw it away. Fortunately, the man under him was weak, and the blade was not too big. Although the wound was big but not deep, it looked terrible, but on the other hand, he tore the clothes of the man under him more viciously.

Facing Rong Tang's questioning, Lian Ying didn't bother to refute at all, but kept resisting with all his might, pushing Rong Tang's hand away with all his strength, but his strength was really inferior to others, so he could only look at his upper body helplessly. There are fewer and fewer clothes.

Lian Ying didn't feel scared until this time, if it's really...really...

Thinking of the possible consequences, Lian Ying's original composure on the surface has long been broken. He looked up at the top of the bed, felt Rong Tang leaning against his neck, sniffing and kissing, and a tear unconsciously rolled down the corner of his eye.

If Shi Yu doesn't come again, if that's the case, I'm afraid he will really seek death...

Lian Ying closed his eyes in despair, waiting for the next "torture" with a desperate heart, but soon he found that the person on his body was no longer moving, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Shi Yu standing in front of him like a god descending. He casually grabbed Rong Tang who was knocked out and threw him to the ground, his expression was fierce and angry that he had never seen before, looking at Rong Tang on the ground as if he was looking at a dead person.

"Are you okay?" Shi Yu turned his head to look at Lian Ying, his expression had already been restrained, and he changed into the familiar face of Lian Ying, even a little gentle and comforting.

"I'm fine." Lian Ying looked at Rong Tang on the ground while pulling back the broken skirt, and frowned, "What should he do?"

Shi Yu took off his coat and put it on Lian Ying, and tidied it up for him very gently and carefully, then picked up the blade and walked to Rong Tang, and said calmly: "Kill it."

Lian Ying could hear the strong murderous intent in his light tone, although he hated Rong Tang in his heart, he still had some sense, so he couldn't help but walked over and grabbed Shi Yu's hand holding the blade, and said, "Now We can’t kill him, anyway, he is the son of the county magistrate, it’s not good to kill someone here, and it’s not good for us to continue on our way, now we’d better leave first, and go back to Beijing directly after we get back to the inn.”

Shi Yu didn't move, obviously he understood Lian Ying's concerns, but it was hard to dispel his hatred if he didn't kill the people in front of him. However, there is more than one way to deal with the Rong family, and there will naturally be opportunities in the future.

After calming down now, Shi Yu gradually let go of his hands, and seeing Lian Ying's weak look softened his heart: "Okay, let's go back first."

Lian Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to follow Shi Yu, he saw Shi Yu hugging him by the waist, and whispered softly in his ear, "Hold me tight."

Subconsciously, Lian Ying stretched out his arms to wrap around Shi Yu's neck, and felt as if he was coming out through the window while breathing, left the bedroom, and then quietly left the Rong Mansion.

Lian Ying opened his eyes slightly and saw the scenery in front of him receding rapidly, so it turns out that the fifth prince can do light work.Thinking about it, I couldn't hold it anymore, so I fainted with peace of mind.

When Lian Ying woke up, he found that he was already on the horse, with the whistling wind in his ears, Shi Yu's solid and warm chest behind him, and Guan Xing leaning in front of him, the two of them felt it as soon as he woke up.

"Master, Master, you're awake, are you feeling better?" Lian Ying heard Guan Xing's surprised voice just after waking up, and then heard Guan Xing angrily say, "That bastard is really hateful, luckily brother Shi Yu caught up in time return."

Even after Ying regained his senses, he didn't bother to comfort Guan Xing and said that he was fine, but quickly asked the question that he was most concerned about now: "Shi Yu, we are now..."

"Don't worry, we've already left Qulan Town. Now we're heading all the way to the capital, but you passed out halfway and I have to ride with the three of us." Shi Yu replied while riding the horse, then lowered his head to look at Lian. Ying, observed for a while to make sure Lian Ying was fine before concentrating on riding the horse.

Lian Ying was completely relieved after hearing this, and then thought that Shi Yu had rushed back so quickly, so he couldn't help asking, "Where is Dr. Yan that you came back so quickly? Nothing happened, right?"

Shi Yu was originally angry with Dr. Yan because of what happened to Lian Ying. Although he was still a little displeased to hear what he said, he knew that Lian Ying was worried, so he replied in every possible way: "I met Han Qiu on the way back. , he also seems to have come out to look for Yan Ran, I handed him over to him and rushed back." Of course, it was mainly because he felt inexplicably uneasy at that time, but he didn't say that.

Lian Ying couldn't help but feel grateful to hear him say that, if Shi Yu hadn't come back in time, he really didn't dare to think about what would happen next.He lowered his head to look at his clothes, and found that he had already changed them. Then he thought that Shi Yu should have changed them for him, and an inexplicable feeling arose spontaneously, which was familiar and throbbing.

In the next few days, the three of them were busy on their way. Fortunately, the people from the Rong family did not catch up. The following journey was also quite smooth, and the three of them entered Beijing soon.And the news that I heard the most along the way is nothing more than two - one is that the prince and the prime minister's daughter are getting married soon, and the whole world celebrates it, which means that the conspiracy of the third and fourth princes failed, but Shi Xiang and the others succeeded The second is that the court ordered the search for two people: the fifth prince, Shi Yu, and Mr. Tingyun. Anyone who provided clues would be rewarded.

In fact, even Ying and Shi Yu were very puzzled. It stands to reason that Shi Xiang and Jiang Bailang should have exposed the matter of the third and fourth princes hiring murderers to assassinate them that day, but why haven't they heard any related rumors along the way? , even when I met Han Qiu before, looking at his expression, he seemed to be completely unaware of this matter, why?

But the two of them can't control that much anymore, and they will naturally know what to do when they go back.So Lian Ying finally returned to the gate of the prime minister's mansion on the afternoon before the wedding of Prince Shiyang and Duanmu Xiwei, and Guan Xing was with him.

When they entered Beijing, Lian Ying selectively told Guan Xing about his and Shi Yu's identities. Of course, about Shi Yu, he directly told Guan Xing that this was the fifth prince, while he only revealed who he was. The most famous Mr. Tingyun did not reveal his identity as the prime minister's son, he just told Guan Xing and Shi Yu that he had a house in Beijing.Inexplicably, he didn't want Shi Yu to know that he belonged to Duanmu's family, perhaps because he was afraid that he would misunderstand.

After everything was clarified, Lian Ying and Shi Yu parted ways in a tacit understanding, and for some reason, Lian Ying felt that the closer he was to the capital, the more anxious Shi Yu became.But he didn't want to ask too many questions, after all, the joy of returning home outweighed this curiosity, especially since he knew that two good brothers, Shi Xiang and Jiang Bailang, worked so hard to find them.

Standing at the door of the house at this moment, seeing Guan Xing looking at him suspiciously, it was impossible for him not to explain, so he had no choice but to coax Guan Xing: "Well, in fact, your master's surname is Duanmu, and my full name is Duanmulian. Yes, he is the son of the current prime minister. But this matter is a secret, and the whole world does not know about it. Except for the people in Duanmu Mansion and the people Master trusts, only Xing'er knows about it, so Xing'er can help Master keep this a secret?"

Guan Xing didn't quite understand why Master had to conceal his own identity, but he always listened to Master's words very much, so although he was still a little puzzled, he still obediently assured him: "Well, Xing'er knows, Xing'er won't say anything about it." .But...couldn’t even Brother Shi Yu say it?”

In the end, Guan Xing still couldn't hold back, and asked a question with some doubts, because from the outside, isn't Brother Shi Yu a person that Master can trust?Obviously these two people seem very close, and Brother Shi Yu even saved Master, so he still cares so much.

Lian Ying didn't expect that he would mention Shi Yu, but all he could answer was a wry smile and a cold sentence: "Of course not, Xing'er, you have to remember this secret and it's best not to tell anyone, even if you are me. Don't tell others about your apprentice, or you may cause some troubles that you can't solve yourself."

Lian Ying saw that although Guan Xing listened to his words very sensiblely, there was still disappointment on his face that could not be concealed. After thinking about it, he probably guessed why he was disappointed, and hurriedly continued: "It's just that this secret can't be treated by you. Brother Shi Yu said that we can still communicate in the future, after I teach you books for a while, you should learn martial arts from your brother Shi Yu."

"Learning martial arts?" Guan Xing immediately became excited when he heard these two words, as if the loss just now was just an illusion of Lian Ying.

Lian Ying nodded with a smile. Sure enough, Guan Xing is more obsessed with martial arts. Shi Yu is indeed a good martial arts teacher, but he has an appointment with Yuniang, and he really loves this child. It is the responsibility of a good teacher, at least there should be a lot of teaching, and then he will respect Guan Xing's hobbies.

Guan Xing was also very happy to get Lian Ying's guarantee, and then he heard Lian Ying whispering in his ear: "We will live in the prime minister's mansion for the next few days, but you don't want to run around casually. The prince and my sister's big wedding, the guards in the mansion are unusual. If you are bored in the mansion, please tell the master, and the master will take you to the capital for a stroll."

"Understood, Master." Guan Xing nodded obediently, and was led by Lian Ying to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

The news of the return of the Fifth Prince and Young Master Tingyun quickly spread. While Long Xin was overjoyed, some people were happy and some were worried. Many people speculated about what happened to these two people and what their relationship is like now. The fifth prince, Shi Yu, is known for his love of making friends with people from all corners of the country.

But at this time, our Mr. Tingyun doesn't have so much time to think about everyone's speculation, because he is facing the "excuse and question" of his dear elder sister at the moment.

In fact, when Lian Ying first returned to the mansion, the whole mansion was very happy and at ease, especially his relatives.Father is fine, he is the head of the family after all, but his eyes are red, while mother and sister hugged him and cried a lot, which made Lian Ying feel warm and at the same time he couldn't help but secretly blame himself for making his relatives worry. This time, it must not be like this.

After a reunion, Lian Ying introduced Guan Xing before his sister questioned him. Duan Muliang and Jiang Mingrou didn't say much after knowing that the child was Lian Ying's apprentice. It hurts like being a grandson.

After finally prevaricating his father's inquiries, Lian Ying knew that he would not be able to escape from his sister's questions, and there were probably some things that he would not be able to hide, but he didn't want to tell them all, even though the object of his listening was His own sister, but there are some things he doesn't want to say.

The author has something to say:

It feels like the character design is starting to collapse out of my control... No matter, the most important thing is to have fun writing... [Hey, in fact, I want to say that I still think I can still save it...]
