Chapter 940 The next step in the three-legged tripod
"Call Xiao Wusheng."
Xiao Wusheng...?
For some reason, this was clearly just a somewhat elegant, ordinary young master's name, but when I heard this name, I was inexplicably shivering.
but--
One is a jade sound, the other is silent, these two names are really weird.
After a while, I forced a smile: "Why are the names of the two brothers completely contrary?"
Su Su calmed down and said in a low voice: "Although they are brothers, Xiao Yusheng is left by his wife, and Xiao Wusheng is said to have been brought back from outside. Because his biological mother is shameful, he doesn't often come out to see people, just like a shadow."
I curled my lips lightly.
Another set of secular and meticulous stories.
"Actually, it's nothing to say about Xiao Yusheng. The important thing is Xiao Wusheng. Xiao Yusheng's swordsmanship is good, and his brother's swordsmanship is better than him. That's not counting. The worst thing is that Xiao Wusheng has a very evil habit."
"Evil habits? What habits?"
"Use human blood to raise the sword."
"Human blood raises sword?!"
"Yes," Su Su's face turned pale as she said: "I heard that man believed in human blood and sword cultivation. He believed that the more blood the sword was, the more fierce and spiritual it was. So he often killed people for no reason, and as a result, he became angry. Some victims spent money and invited some warriors to chase him. But in the end, he really couldn't find him, and the head of the family interfered, the matter was left to nothing."
"It's all done?" My brows frowned immediately.
I killed someone, and it was a murderer for no reason, but no government could uphold justice and ended up leaving it alone. To me, I heard this, not to be incredible, but it made me angry.
Su Su continued: "However, the head of the family spoke, and the pressure was put on Xishan Academy, Xiao Wuhen has become much more peaceful over the years, but-"
"Just what?"
"But he seems to be following Xiao Yusheng at any time, but no one else can see him. But if anyone becomes hostile to Xiao Yusheng or disrespects in his words, he will definitely be on the street within three days."
I frowned immediately: "No one cares about it?"
Su Su shook her head and said, "No one can care. Xiao Yusheng is from Xishan Academy, but Xiao Wusheng is not, the Academy cannot control him. As for the head of the family, the head of the family doesn't care much about this matter, as long as there is no big trouble."
Didn't there be too much trouble?
I thought about it carefully and couldn't help but sneer - it wasn't that I didn't want to cause too much trouble, but Yan Qingchen just grasped the size of the trouble very well.
From today's scene, I can already think of the affairs of the brothers Xiao Yusheng and Xiao Wusheng, which were almost caused by him. If there is no official in Xichuan, the law of justice naturally became a one-man statement. With such a demon-like existence, it has become a weapon for Yan Qingchen to shock others in addition to the high-sounding head of the Yan family.
Otherwise, at today's banquet, most of the people would have left as soon as Xiao Yusheng appeared.
It seems that it is not unreasonable that he chose to let Xiao Yusheng go out to sea instead of him.
A person with the second-in-command figure in Xishan Academy, Xiao Yusheng, who is famous in Shu, and Xiao Wusheng, who is famous in the dark, is a combination of evil people in Xichuan, how many people dare to fight with them?
However, when I recalled the gentle and elegant young man at the banquet today, I still felt a little heavy: "What did Xiao Yusheng say by his brother doing these things?"
Su Su sighed: "He himself was also very distressed, but after all, he was his brother. When many people chased Xiao Wusheng, he stabbed himself three times in front of everyone, and blood flowed all over the floor. In addition, the head of the family made a speech, he suppressed the matter. Over the years, not no one has ever looked for him. Every time he committed suicide, he apologized, but after a while, his brother would still come out to commit crimes."
My brows frowned again.
At this moment, a very light knock on the door came. Susu hurriedly got up and walked over. As soon as she opened the door, I saw her completely froze, and her voice became cowardly: "Head of the family."
I hurriedly stood up and saw Yan Qingchen sitting in a wheelchair at the door, smiling at me.
I walked over and said, "Why are you here?"
"I'll take a look at my sister."
After saying that, his wheelchair had already arrived.
Su Su was obviously afraid that he was very much, so she hugged aside and did not dare to speak. Just as Li'er heard the sound, she came out of her room and was stunned when she saw Yan Qingchen.
I hurriedly said, "Su Su, take your son out for a walk and also eliminate food. We have something to talk about."
Su Su was so kind that she hurriedly took Li'er out, and closed the door before leaving.
The light in the room was not dark. After all, it was still broad daylight now, but when I walked into the room and saw Yan Qingchen sitting at the table and smiling at me, I still had the illusion of dusk falling.
I clenched my fists and slowly walked over to sit opposite him: "Come on, what's the matter?"
He didn't say anything, but looked at me with a smile.
I really don't like his eyes.
The feeling was like a tongue covered with honey licking people's skin. Although it was gentle and sweet, the sticky feeling made people feel like they were trapped in a mud, as if they could move freely, but every move was controlled by gentleness, and they could not walk far or run faster.
I really don't like this feeling.
Subconsciously frowned, and I repeated: "What are you doing?"
He smiled gently: "Pei Yuanxiu came to tell me that you are going back to Jinling."
“…!”
My heart skipped a beat.
I didn't expect Pei Yuanxiu to spread the message so quickly. In fact, this was not a big deal, but I was leaving Xichuan, so I don't think this was a small deal.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content behind! I looked at him and avoided his gaze. I said calmly: "I have been back to the door for more than half a year, and it's time to go back."
He still looked at me, his eyes could not be burning, but he was not cold, but seemed to be trying to imprint my whole body into his eyes and no longer let it go.
After a while, he said, "Sister seems to no longer like Nishikawa."
"I didn't-"
"I don't like me anymore."
“…”
"Sister seems to have forgotten what you said before."
“…”
"You said you will always be with me."
My face slowly became solemn. When I met his gaze, I finally did not dodge and no longer retreated. But after a long period of silence, I solemnly said: "Yan Qingchen, some people say that once the promise is said, it becomes a lie. Do you believe this?"
"..." He looked at me without answering.
I didn't want him to answer, but said, asking and answering, "I don't believe it."
“…”
“Many times, people say promises not for deception, but for an expectation, or a struggle.”
“…”
"Because everyone knows that things are impermanent."
“…”
He sat there quietly without opening his mouth or moving, as if he was in a deep thought, and I also sat quietly like this. I don’t know how long it took, but I heard his somewhat strange hoarse voice slowly repeating: “The world is impermanent…”
He looked up at me and smiled and said, "What a world of impermanence."
As he said this, he leaned over and covered the back of my hand on the table. I felt like I was bitten by a poisonous snake, and I was so panicked that I was about to retreat, but he grabbed it faster.
Although it was already autumn and the weather was getting colder, his palms still had his hot body temperature, and even felt a little sweaty. As soon as I touched my skin, I shivered and lowered my voice and said, "Let go!"
"elder sister……"
"open!"
Seeing me struggling desperately, Yan Qingchen no longer had the gentleness and compromise of the past, but stretched out his other hand and held my hand gently and forcefully with both hands. Although it did not hurt me, it did not allow me to get rid of him smoothly. It was just that when I waved my arms, his wheelchair was shaken.
He looked up at me, as if he was smiling, and as if he was gritting his teeth: "It's obviously me, I never hurt you!"
These words pierced into my heart like a needle.
I was frozen there for a moment.
He still smiled, and the force on his hands relaxed a little, and even began to stroke the red mark on the back of my hand with his palm. He lowered his head and looked at it carefully. His long eyelashes covered the clear eyes, motionless as if frozen: "Sister actually doesn't have to be afraid of me at all."
“…”
"I am the only one in this world who will never hurt my sister."
“…”
"Even if I go looking for a strong ship and a powerful cannon, even if the whole world is destroyed by me, I will definitely not hurt my sister's hair."
My hands trembled even harder under his caress.
He looked up at me, smiled, and said word by word: "This is a promise, not a lie."
I knew what he said to me was never a lie, but even so, his touching would not calm me down, but would make me even more trembling.
But I still forced myself to calm down and forced myself not to pull my hands back.
"Yan Qingchen, what are you going to do today?"
"I have a word that I want to ask my sister."
My eyebrows frowned slightly, thinking that I knew it wouldn't be a good thing, but I still endured the throbbing in my heart and asked, "What are you going to ask?"
He looked up at me and said seriously: "What do you think of the current Nishikawa?"
“…”
I couldn't believe my ears and looked at him in shock.
But immediately, I became alert.
Although he is not a biological child, Yan Qingchen is actually more like my mother than me. With his personality, he will never do anything aimless, and it is even more impossible to ask a meaningless question.
I looked at him and said, "Why ask me this?"
