Every time I wake up, I take the blame for the villain
54. White Cloud and Solitary Leaf (V)
The story starts with the failure of the beauty plan.
Xiao Shi is a beauty, there is no doubt about it. When she wants to get close to someone, her face is enough to make people let down their guard, and then she will easily complete her task.
Beauty is hard for all men to resist. This is the view of Gong Jiu and his old man. They are people who appreciate beauty.
So the first to come was his sister, the palace master, a princess who should be ranked tenth in the palace.
However, the person this beauty faced was Jiang Chen, not Lu Xiaofeng.
After being flattered by such a beauty for more than a month, such a beauty cooked soup for him, but this person was still bland and annoying.
Xiao Shi was angry.
Because no matter what she did, this person was so calm. Xiao Shi felt that as long as she didn't express the intention of wanting him to die, his face would not change. He looked at her like a juggler!
After being treated coldly for more than half a month, Xiao Shi became much more sober.
His attitude towards everyone was the same.
He is a city lord, but he treats everyone the same.
No matter whether the other person is beautiful or ugly, old or young, humble or noble, his way of expression is always indifferent, but it will not make people feel disgusted. He can kill without blinking, but occasionally he will say thank you to the waiter in the inn when he is free.
Let Xiao Shi feel that he has lowered his status, but also feel that this is him.
His actions always make people confused.
But no matter what he does, he can't get away from that kind of calmness. Elegant but alienated.
It is a kind of indifference, because his eyes can't accommodate other people.
Only for people.
His every move is hard to find fault. Although he is in the rivers and lakes, he has a kind of dignity that is difficult for royal people to bear. Xiao Shi is a royal family, so she is very sensitive to such elegance.
She hates the nagging rules at home, so she joins the rivers and lakes. But in this person, she feels that if those rules can cultivate such a person, it is not annoying. However, Xiao Shi knew that this kind of indifference could not be cultivated by those rules. He did not have the craftsmanship accumulated by the rules.
Such a person is so contradictory that it makes people feel headache.
But there is no reason for him to be so contradictory. Xiao Shi returned empty-handed.
On the day when she decided to change her plan, she went to the cliff again.
And Ye Gucheng was still there.
He sat on the edge of the cliff, and the sword in his hand was placed on his legs for the first time. His fingertips passed over the sword, and a clear sound came out.
Ding... Ding...
There is a strange rhythm.
It should be a song, which is full of ethereal feeling.
I have never seen a sword that can play a song.
He should have used his internal force, and pressing different places naturally has different sounds.
The sword in the hand of the Lord of Baiyun City was originally made of overseas cold iron. The sword body is thin and light. Such a finger strike is different from the heavy sword of ordinary swords, but light and pleasant.
Even the sound of the waves cannot cover such music.
In such an empty world, he sat there alone, the sound of the sword was clear, as if it could bring people into a world of nothingness.
The sound of the sea, the blue color of the sea.
But, it was horribly desolate.
Because in this blue, there was no other existence except for myself.
Soon, the sound of the sword became low, and the blue was covered by darkness.
There was only a ray of skylight that could never be touched.
Xiao Shi subconsciously chased the light. However, it was so close, but she couldn't catch it.
For a long, long time, it was all darkness.
Her forehead was covered with cold sweat and her face was pale.
Suddenly, someone in the empty space said, "Don't chase. Open your eyes."
Xiao Shi's eyes opened, there was no darkness around him, only one person, and behind him was a piece of blue.
He stood up, his white clothes were like snow, and his sword was sheathed.
Xiao Shi saw his dark eyes, and was horrified for a moment, the hair on his back stood up, and he lowered his head in a hurry.
"...I thought you were so brave." He said calmly.
Xiao Shi's face was pale. It was indeed because he seemed too quiet these days that she forgot the look in his eyes when she first met him.
Such a person, no matter how kind he appears on the outside, he will never be kind on the inside.
It can only be said that his indifference and disregard always make people who have thoughts about him relax their vigilance involuntarily.
"Tell me." Xiao Shi was sweating coldly and heard him say lightly, "How long do you want to be a cook in the City Lord's Mansion?"
"..." She bit her lip, "I just want to see the City Lord often."
These words were said affectionately enough, and she thought she had shown enough affection.
But he seemed to have not heard these words, and curved his eyes, "...You should tell the truth."
Xiao Shi looked up and saw that, and his heart was shocked, and he immediately said, "Stay for a month and leave!"
This was also a true statement.
Jiang Chen nodded and walked towards the city holding his sword.
"By the way, when you leave, I don't want to hear about the death of someone in Baiyun City." He spoke slowly, then paused and added meaningfully, "For example, the person who adopted you."
Xiao Shiyi was hesitant. You want to control this!
When his back disappeared in the forest, Xiao Shi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. He was a bit similar to Jiu Ge in some aspects. For example, their patience was first-class. And they could watch the beach for ten days or half a month without getting bored.
Xiao Shi was afraid of Gong Jiu, and of course Ye Gucheng. But Gong Jiu still liked Jiang Shaman, and Ye Gucheng didn't like anyone.
Jiang Chen would naturally add that sentence.
It doesn't take much thought to know that the Wang family just treated her as an ordinary girl, but this beef soup, she happened to be a proud and unyielding person.
Even if she was not worshipped as an ancestor because she concealed her identity, she would not let them go when she left.
She couldn't beat Jiang Chen, so she would always want to vent her anger on his men.
Jiang Chen at least wouldn't be someone who watched her take action indifferently.
There were also foreign traders around Baiyun City. Not to mention the mixed, but there were also those with small calculations.
It was not difficult to spread the news.
At this time, Xiao Shi had to pass on the news of the failure of the plan, emphasizing that Ye Gucheng wanted to drive her away. And he treated her like a juggler these days!
…
Nameless Island. Wu Ming's territory.
Wu Ming is just like his name, nameless. His subordinates are also like his name, nameless.
Even if the darts in the world were robbed again and again, no one knew where the missing treasures ended up, nor who did it.
The treasures naturally came to Wu Ming, but the treasures in Wu Ming's hands would become nameless. No one could find out where they went.
No one doesn't love money and beauty. Although Wu Ming behaved kindly and honestly, he knew in his heart that he also loved money.
If he didn't love money, why would he rob the darts.
Just like some people are used to claiming to be upright gentlemen, Wu Ming likes to say that he is nameless, but when he says these words, he often wants to show that he is extraordinary, because a person who can rob the darts without being noticed is obviously extraordinary.
He never had a good reputation when he was young. When he wanted to pursue fame when he was old, he felt that it would be shameful to win compared with a group of young people. So he was unknown and looked indifferent to fame and fortune.
He had many subordinates, but Gong Jiu and Gong Zhu were undoubtedly the two he liked the most.
One was gifted, and the other was good at pretending to be good and clever.
And when the prince of Taiping ascended the throne, he would be the master of the next emperor.
Nameless, but also famous.
Wu Ming had such an idea in his heart, but he himself was unwilling to admit it. He felt that he should be a kind and nameless old man who did not pursue fame and fortune and did not value money.
But what is the truth... Everyone has their own opinion.
He sat in the pavilion with a small bridge and flowing water, brewing tea. He looked like a hermit. And the various martial arts masters who hid their names here also looked at him in this way.
No one can be as capable as him. He can have all kinds of martial arts secrets in his hands, whether it is Wudang internal strength, Ruyi orchid finger, Western Qigong, or Hainan swordsmanship... As long as there is a name in the world, he has it in his hands, and it is more complete than the collection of his own sect. It is also because of this that many people who love martial arts can stay under his command obediently.
They forget that no matter which sect, there are more or less people who live in poverty and are spiritually poor. Although money may not necessarily make the devil push the mill, it is more or less possible to let these people hand over some martial arts secrets.
And some geniuses can perfectly copy the opponent's moves after watching it once. Wu Ming is proud of this because he is such a person. And his good apprentice, Gong Jiu, can also do this.
Although they are not biological father and son, Gong Jiu grew up in his hands since he was a child, and they are as close as father and son. Gong Jiu lives in the Taiping Palace and is the only heir to the Taiping Palace, so both the princess and the prince have high expectations of him. If he hadn't met Wu Ming, he might have been an idle prince in the future. But everything changed when he met Wu Ming at the age of seven. Since Wu Ming could not become famous, it would be the same if he changed his apprentice.
If the apprentice became famous, the master would also become famous. Very good, Gong Jiu did not disappoint him. Even Wu Ming was amazed by his talent in martial arts.
What is Gong Jiu like?
He had listened to his mother teaching him since he was a child, saying that he could not do this or that! You are the prince of Taiping, how can you not do basic etiquette!
Jiu, you have disappointed your mother so much.
Then he listened to his father teaching him, Jiu, you are the only man in the Taiping Palace, how can you only know how to fight and kill like a warrior! This is too disgraceful!
Jiu, you have disappointed your father so much!
Gong Jiu has been like this since he can remember.
Seven years old is a turning point for him, and it is also an opportunity for Wu Ming.
During the day, he is the generous and humble prince of Taiping, and at night he is Gong Jiu who walks in the dark and kills people like crazy.
Almost twenty years, this has become a habit.
So now, he is a handsome man, impeccable in every move, perfectly meeting the requirements of his short-lived mother, but inside, he is a mixture of nine things as the islanders say.
Gong Jiu knows this description, but the meaningless fights in words have no appeal to him. Those trash can't beat him, so they can only satisfy their desire to talk.
When he faced Wu Ming, he was still quite respectful, "Father, I'm back."
Gong Jiu's father is Wu Ming, and only the father of Prince Taiping's son is the Prince of Taiping.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Wu Ming hummed lightly and handed him a cup of tea.
"Thank you, father." Gong Jiu took it and looked at the undulating tea leaves in the cup, speechless for a moment.
Wu Mingdao, "Is everything ready?"
Gong Jiu said respectfully, "Yes. Twelve Links Station is already preparing to be the guarantor for that escort trip."
"I knew you wouldn't disappoint my father." Wu Ming smiled and looked very kind. He has always been a kind person. After a while, he asked, "Have you received the letter from Bee?"
Gong Jiu muttered. "Is it about Ye Gucheng?"
"...She is still too naive." She did not accept Ye Gucheng!
Gong Jiu was still very protective of the palace master, "Ye Gucheng has been in the world for many years, but he still doesn't have a wife. Maybe it's because he is always wary of being with women."
Wu Ming smiled and said, "You don't have to excuse her. This is because she did things badly." He sighed deliberately, "If Shaman goes, it may be different."
Gong Jiu frowned, "Father!"
Wu Ming waved his hand and added more water to the boiling teapot, "Okay, my father knows that you like her. However, Ye Gucheng will probably be very difficult to deal with as an enemy."
Gong Jiu said, "Perhaps. The emperor can come out of the Forbidden City and finally let it go. He is indeed a difficult person."
"I heard that Lu Xiaofeng was involved in this matter."
"Lu Xiaofeng?"
"That's right, Lu Xiaofeng. When he sees noisy things, he is like a dog seeing meat buns. He comes faster than anyone else."
"Just kill him."
"No...as the next owner of Wuming Island, your methods should be more tactful."
"Make them all invisible."
Wu Ming smiled and said, "Children can be taught."
"Go and save the little bee first... Ah Jiu, heroes always cherish each other..." Wu Ming picked up the teapot and poured the tea into the cup. The aroma was overflowing, but Wu Ming had no intention of drinking the tea. He looked at The gurgling water beside the pavilion said, "As for Lu Xiaofeng...if my predictions are correct, when something happens over there at Twelve Links Pier, Lu Xiaofeng will definitely come and bite our meat buns."
"yes."
So Jiang Shaman, who had been depressed for a long time because of Gong Jiu's return, breathed a sigh of relief, because he left the island again before he had time to see her.
Gong Jiu is a road idiot.
So he went to Feixian Island and ordered his men to sneak in separately, but he didn't know the way.
On the other hand, he really didn't want to deal with those fishermen dressed in coarse linen.
He is now the Prince of Taiping.
The mother of Prince Taiping once said that as a crown prince, he should not lower his status and have any contact with common people. This is one of the etiquette.
Gong Jiu listened.
So he wandered around the island for a long time, but could not see where the real inner city gate was.
Why do you have to go through the door?
Because the mother of Prince Taiping once said that as a prince, you cannot climb over the wall and must walk through the front door. This is also one of the etiquette.
He turned till evening.
And Jiang Chen walked back from the sea cliff.
As a city lord, his clothes are naturally different from those of other people in Baiyun City.
When Gong Jiu saw him, his eyes lit up. He didn't say anything and just followed Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen walked very fast, but he could also follow behind. After he deliberately went around in circles for more than a dozen times, this man still persisted. Such persistence made Jiang Chen raise his eyebrows and stop, "What are you going to do?"
Gong Jiu said, "Look for someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
"My sister."
Hearing this sentence, Jiang Chen's heart skipped a beat. A long time ago, he was following a patrol car on the seaside after a storm. The police asked him, "What are you following?"
"Find someone."
"Who are you looking for?"
"My sister."
The memory was so long ago that it seemed so strange to him when he thought about it.
Strange, yet familiar.
"Are you missing me?" Gong Jiu is a person who can understand people's hearts very well. He can often see other people's hearts from their expressions.
Jiang Chen came back to his senses and looked at the twenty-year-old young man in front of him. He looked sincere and was not lying. Jiang Chen sighed secretly and finally asked him, "Where is your sister now?"
Gong Jiu said without hesitation, "Baiyun City."
Gong Jiu is a very honest person. He is not very good at lying, and he is too lazy to lie.
But this time, what he said was quite a coincidence.
If Jiang Chen knew he was Gong Jiu, he might have slapped him into the sea the first time he saw him, without even asking a single question.
But when I asked, I thought of Jiang Xi instead.
He showed the man the way.
As a result, Gong Jiu did not leave, but kept following him.
"Why are you still following me?"
"Where is the southwest you are talking about?"
Jiang Chen:......
"Come with me."
That's all, it's never easy to be a good person, so be a good person until the end.
The two met Xiao Shi on the main street.
She looked a little surprised, "Brother Ninth?"
Jiang Chen:......
The author has something to say: Gong Jiu has a lot of tricks...
Xiaochen was trapped (?w?)hiahiahia
