Chapter 40
Yi Qiancheng actually sent someone to tie Lian Xi up!
Since the last assassination incident, the city lord's mansion has been very cautious. Lian Chengzhu was afraid of death and never went out all day long. He ordered people to surround the mansion. Mrs. Sang did not go out of the gate, but only the second young master Lian Xiyue could not control his legs. He was extremely lustful and ran to Huajie Liuxiang repeatedly.
Yi Qiancheng ordered: "Go and inform Lord Liancheng and Master Lian, and let them be smarter. It's enough for a few people to come. The sword has no eyes, so it's not good to hurt the second master." Seeing Lian Sheng's surprised look, he frowned.
"Are you angry?" Lian Xiyue was her younger brother after all. Although Yi Qiancheng knew that except Lian Qi, Lian Sheng had a bad relationship with other Lian family members, he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Lian Sheng shook her head. She had no siblings with Lian Xiyue. Yi Qiancheng must have a hostage, otherwise it would be very dangerous.
Before the two of them waited for a long time, Lian Qi, who was searching the city, came to the suburbs. Yi Qiancheng lazily raised his eyes and turned over, showing a sarcastic smile: "The eldest son doesn't care about his younger brother. I'm bringing so many people here, do you want to see the second son's head fall to the ground with your own eyes?"
Lian Qi did not answer and looked at him. The two men's eyes were heavy, and they each understood the other's thoughts. Lian Qi took the lead and turned to Lian Sheng's hand. She held Yi Qiancheng and leaned against him, looking like a good wife.
Lian Qi was not panicked, and Yi Qiancheng was even less anxious. He waved: "Wake up the second young master."
A bucket of water was poured down, Lian Xiyue shivered, opened her eyes and looked blank, and she had not yet realized where she was. As soon as the memory was regained, Lian Xiyue was so shocked that her face was pale. When she saw Lian Qi, she hurriedly shouted: "Brother, brother, save me!"
Lian Qi looked at him, and his eyes fell back to Lian Sheng, "A Sheng."
"Brother..." Lian Sheng lowered his head, not knowing how to face Lian Qi. She felt that such a brother was a little unfamiliar, and she was stuck between her husband and brother, and was in a dilemma. Lian Qi must have hidden a lot of things from her. With his ability, it was impossible that he would not know that his father had colluded with Liang Zhen now. He must have known, but he did not tell her. She was like a fool, waiting for news in the house.
His hands tightened, and Yi Qiancheng held her hand and gently exerted force. Lian Sheng came to his senses and felt a little peace of mind.
When Lian Qi saw Lian Sheng lowering her head, she was already suspicious, but now was not the time to explain. Lian Xi became more and more cold and her teeth were clattering. The scene was stalemate, and his whole body was poured in water. It would not last long. Lian Qi was his only life-saving straw.
"Brother, don't ignore me!"
Lian Qi frowned and looked at Yi Qiancheng, "Tell me about your conditions."
"It's very simple. First, tell me where Fang Mu's corpse is. Second, let us leave the city. After completing the two conditions, I will naturally release the second young master." Fang Mu's account will be settled in the future. When he returns to Yingdong, it is time for these people to atone for their sins.
"I don't know where Fang Mu's corpse is."
"Then please ask the city lord Lian to investigate. For his son, he must know. I am waiting for the news from the eldest son here. The weather is cold and the second son is strong. It should be no problem to wait for an hour."
Lian Xiyue's eyes turned dark when he heard this. In just a quarter of an hour, he was almost frozen and lost consciousness. If he waited for a few hours, even if he didn't die, he would be disabled. Lian Qi looked calm, and Lian Xiyue's eyes looked a little cold.
If, as Yi Qiancheng said today, after sending Fang Mu's corpse and then letting them out of the city, Lian Sheng... would never be able to return to his side.
"Brother, I beg you, go and tell your father and ask him to give them that, what kind of corpse?" Lian Xiyue cried bitterly.
Lian Qi's expression had not changed, and suddenly thought of something and looked at Lian Sheng. Her clear eyes looked at him in shock, as if she had seen him as indifferent and heartless for the first time. His heart shrank, and a faint sense of panic surged up, and for a moment, my mind was blank.
No, you can't look at him with that look. Lian Qi immediately made a choice: "Go and notify his father and let him come over immediately."
Lian Sheng breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this. She almost thought that her gentle and jade-like brother had become a heartless and selfish person. Even her unpopular sister did not want Lian Xi to be frozen to death.
Lord Fang’s ashes must be taken back, which Yingdong owes him.
The city lord Lian quickly brought people to him. Seeing his fearful and fearful look, Yi Qiancheng raised his eyebrows sarcastically, and hated this villain in his heart. He harmed sea buckthorn six years ago and Fang Mu six years later, he would not let him go.
Lian Xi was so cold that she burst into tears: "Father, save the child!"
"General Yi, Lord Fang's corpse is forty miles eastward. You are proud to let the dog go." After Yu Deyue killed Fang Mu, Liancheng Lord sent someone to collect the corpse and buried all the sea buckthorn soldiers in the east of the suburbs of the city.
Yi Qiancheng nodded, his expression was very cold. The guard received the order and went east. Lian Sheng looked at Lord Lian in silence, perhaps because he felt guilty, so he had never looked here.
"Father." Lian Sheng whispered, "This is the last time I call you father."
The embarrassment and guilt on the Lord of Lian's face flashed, his eyes drifted, and finally fell on Lian Sheng. Her eyes were bright, her cherry lips were bright red, like the red plum blossoms blooming in the snow, and it suddenly coincided with another woman. For a moment, he thought it was Fei Yu'e from sixteen years ago.
Lian Sheng knelt down and kowtowed to the city lord Lian: "Thank you for your father's kindness for food and clothing." She only talked about food and clothing, regardless of her upbringing, the person who taught her to grow up was her brother.
Lian Qi looked at him, not knowing whether to be happy or sad. He used to be thinking, if one day Lian Sheng was no longer his sister, what would it be like? But now it has become a reality, but she is going to leave him.
"Brother, you will always be A Sheng's brother."
Lian Qi's hand suddenly tightened the reins, and a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes. He will always be her brother? But what he doesn't want to be the most now is her brother! He even wondered, what would happen if he didn't care about taking Liansheng away and didn't return to the city lord's mansion? Or later in the house, he told her everything and confessed his feelings, would she still treat herself as her brother?
~
On the third day after Yi Qiancheng left, Fu Yi and his men successfully captured the seal. The seal that had been prosperous for more than a hundred years was so fragile that it was vulnerable due to the disintegration inside.
But after seeing the person who made great contributions, Fu Yi couldn't help but be surprised. The woman took off the hat on the cloak, smiled, and saluted: "Mr. Fu, I am Yan Yue."
"The girl is... the one who sent us a message?"
"Yes, not to be hiding the military advisor, Yan Yue discussed with the noble son a year ago and one day will help the sea buckthorn to get the seal. Now, this day has finally arrived." Yan Yue smiled, her face was beautiful, and I felt pity for her, and she smiled charmingly.
Fu Yi was surprised in his heart that Yan Yue was Yan Shi's daughter, a girl from the lord's mansion, a woman who looked weak, disrupted a pool of water and determined the rise and fall of a city. He now had to suspect that even the old city lord Yan's heavy troops and the two young city lords were fighting for the throne. If this was the case, then this woman would be too terrible.
After pondering for a while, Fu Yi took the initiative to speak out: "I wonder where the girl is here?"
"Yan Yue is grateful to the military advisor for not hurting the innocent people in my closed city. Now that the closed city has disappeared, the people will get better and better under the general's lumbarism. However, the closed city lord's mansion is gone, and Yan Yue has no home. I am a woman, not asking for anything else, but only asking for a place to settle down. My father has passed away and two brothers are already in the hands of the military advisor. For Seabuckthorn, Yan Yue has made contributions, but for Seabuckthorn, Yan Yue is a sinner."
When she raised her eyes again, tears were filled with her eyes: "The little woman asked the military advisor and general to take me in."
Regardless of whether the speaker has a heart or not, Fu Yi, as the listener, seriously considered the matter about Yan Yue. Yan Yue asked for a place to live. If it was really just a simple place, she would definitely not come to ask for it. This girl is not a simple person, and with her ability, it is not difficult.
She also wants status, or a suitable identity.
The best way to get into a city openly is to marry. This is why Fu Yi advised Yi Qiancheng to marry Lian Sheng. Now Yan Yue...
"Why did the girl help sea buckthorn? Can you tell me?"
Yan Yue wiped away the tears on her face, "This matter involves an old story on the closure, and I cannot tell the general. But... as long as you know, if it weren't for the reason, I wouldn't have made such a bad decision."
"Since the girl is inconvenient to say it, I will not ask anymore. But I am confused about something in my heart. Everyone knows the ambition of Xiang Han, the Lord of Yuanhuai, and he has been coveting the closure for a long time. Why didn't the girl cooperate with him, but chose sea buckthorn?"
Yan Yue had expected him to ask this question, so she answered slowly: "Xiang Han has a strange temperament. This person is unstable and insatiable. I had heard of Xiang Han's capriciousness before in my mansion. I was worried that after working with him, he would not let the people who were closed, nor would he give me the respect I deserve as he said."
She paused and said, "General Yi is different. He is a young hero. In order to protect Seabuckthorn City, he killed the invading Xiqiang people, and later he was willing to send troops to help Yingdong. Yan Yue respected him, so he was naturally willing to help him."
Her voice was low, as if she was shy. Fu Yi naturally understood when she saw it. It seemed that Miss Yan Yue, who was closed, not only had a grudge against her father and brother, but also planned to take advantage of her husband for her.
It just so happened that she liked her own general...
