Raiders of the Duke and Duchess

Chapter 159 If You Like It, Take It (Third Watch)

"Okay!" Responding, he raised his voice again, "Girl, the subordinate will be back soon, you, don't be afraid!"

Said, turned around and left.

The last sentence of knocking and looking forward to it is really like a child pretending to be an adult.

Ji Wuyan shook his head and laughed. After sitting for a while, the dizziness disappeared again, but this time he had experienced it for real, and the dizziness was not a hallucination.I am usually in good health, and when I was young, I chewed all kinds of precious medicinal materials like jelly beans. I have never felt dizzy in the past few days due to the slander on my left shoulder.

"This place...is really weird."

"It's normal to be a charlatan with strange powers. It's normal to be a bit strange." Ning Xiuyuan pinched her cool palm, "But you can't get on the stage if you think about it. If you feel tired, you can rely on rest. In a while, just wait for Cen Yan to come back."

She closed her eyes as she said, not trying to be brave, she closed her eyes and asked him, "What kind of sword did you ask Cen Yan to get?"

The girl leaning on his shoulder lost her usual aura and looked extraordinarily petite and soft at the moment, like a newborn kitten. Ning Xiuyuan's voice subconsciously lowered and softened, "Listen Did you say 'crack the sky'?"

Ji Wuyan opened his eyes abruptly, and looked up at him, "Cracking Sky? According to legend, Likong can split gold and stone, break heaven and earth? Is that sword in your hand?" I did my best.Just for this Lie Kong, he didn't hesitate to pester his elder brother for several months, and gave away several jars of good wine that he had treasured for half his life, so that his elder brother finally nodded and agreed to take his "business" to help him find Lie Kong... It's just that after many years, Always to no avail.

Didn't expect to be here...

"Yeah. That's it." Ning Xiuyuan raised his hand, and pushed Ji Wuyan's head back, "If it was that sword, the stone door would still have been split open...You little girl knows a lot."

"I've heard a little bit." Ji Wuyan closed his eyes again, although he was not dizzy, he was inexplicably sleepy, "You even hide your martial arts, and you have been wronged by this sword. How long did it take to see it again?" See you soon."

Ning Xiuyuan didn't care, "It's just a dead thing, if you like it, you can take it back after you split the stone gate."

I don't know how the second master felt when he heard this sentence.

He is obsessed with swords and alcohol, but for the sake of Likong, he still gave away half of the country. I heard that he didn't sleep well for several months, and his hair, which was not thick at all, fell out in handfuls. In the end, he couldn't do it. He took some calming medicine, but just like that, there was only a few words about Liekong, and he didn't even see a shadow.

This has also become an account that will never be settled on my brother's desk.

Unexpectedly, it was so suddenly... within reach.

It's just that things that are within reach are too heavy.

She still had her eyes closed, and smiled suddenly, "I'm not guilty, but I'm pregnant. I'm afraid that if I carry it back, someone will target Ji's house tomorrow... I dare not dare."

A rare relaxed atmosphere.

Ning Xiuyuan lazily leaned on the incense table behind and pointed out bluntly, "There are quite a few people staring at Ji's family now, and I'm not afraid that there will be more cracks."

This is... not only the Ji family today, it seems that since the beginning of sensible, there has been no lack of eyeliner on their bodies, no matter whether it is grandmother or grandfather, they seem to deliberately hide from the world, even though almost no one in Yanjing City has mentioned the word "Shangguan" Words, but I always feel as if there is something, gradually accumulating strength under the surging undercurrent.

She was a little tired, she closed her eyes lazily, and next to her ears was the sound of another person's heartbeat, which was clear and powerful, and it made her feel at ease at such a moment and in such an environment.

"Ningning."

Ning Xiuyuan was calling her, and she lazily responded, as if she didn't notice the change in address.

"Ningning, don't sleep... talk to me."

Ji Wuyan just felt a little tired, she thought, maybe there is something weird about this place, but Ning Xiuyuan seems to be fine, and she is just sleepy, other than that there is nothing abnormal - she knows this very well .

"I'm fine, I'm sober." She grinned, a little funny and touched by Ning Xiuyuan's nervousness, so she cooperated with him, "What do you want to say?"

"Tell me about...you?"

"What can I say?"

"I checked the genealogy of the Shangguan family, and your name is not on it. I can't find anything about the Ji family...Ji Wuyan, is that your real name in the Ji family?" The heir of the Ji family should not have such a name. yes.

On weekdays, the two of them mostly confront each other, even if they are peaceful, they are often eccentric, so it is rare to have a good talk like this.She shook her head, "No, Shangguan Ning was my name when I was born. Later, when I went to Ji's house, my grandmother said that the word 'Ning' is very good, so she called me, Ji Ning'er."

In the gentle light of the night pearl, Ning Xiuyuan's brows and eyes were as soft as spring breeze and drizzle. He said, "Yes. The word 'Ning' is excellent."

My last name, your first name.

Since the Shangguan family agreed to a marriage with my Ning family, they always owe me a wife.

"Ning Xiuyuan... Since you want to talk, then I'll ask you, but you have to answer me."

"Well. You ask."

Ji Wuyan closed her eyes, her expression was calm, but her heart was beating fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.She didn't know if she would get an answer, or what kind of answer she would get.There was a rustling sound outside, obviously the mechanism had not been found yet.It is rumored that the cracked sky that can split gold and stones does not know whether it can really split this stone door. After all, after Ning Xiuyuan got the cracked sky, he couldn't use it to split stones for nothing.

Maybe, when they walk out of this door, they will go back to the beginning, beware of each other, guard against each other, and may not ask questions or hear the answers to some questions.

She pursed her lips, "Back then...why did the Shangguan family offend the noble concubine, so they had to move the whole family out of Yanjing City to avoid disaster."

Ning Xiuyuan looked down at her.

The little girl still had her eyes closed, but her eyelashes trembled slightly, and the pupils under her eyelids twitched violently, like a frightened fawn trying to pretend to be calm.

Looking at such a little girl, Ning Xiuyuan finally couldn't hold back and did what he always wanted to do.

He slowly took off Ji Wuyan's veil.

Ji Wuyan opened his eyes suddenly, "You..." In those eyes that widened from surprise, there was the glow from the night pearl, which was so colorful and bewitching.

Wanting to describe such a grand scene in detail, but holding back, he asked in a serious manner, "How similar are you to your mother, Mrs. Shangguan?"

"Huh? There are six or seven points..." As he spoke, he realized in an instant, "You mean, the Shangguan family offended the imperial concubine because of her mother's appearance?"
