Chapter 157: The Self-Righteous Guy
Jin Sui heard the housekeeper's voice: "Second Master, you can't go in. There are distinguished guests living inside! The master of the family said that no one can come to disturb us."
Then the butler cried out, probably because Yan Shiyi pushed him down:
"I want to go in! I want to see where this fox spirit I picked up from can even charm my eldest brother!"
Jinsui was speechless. After all, he had called me a shemale before, but now he had expelled me from the human race.
She felt that if things continued like this, she would really become Yan Jiulang's hidden lover, which would be extremely embarrassing and she would not be able to explain herself clearly.
She said loudly to the maid, "Let the second young master come in."
The maid hurried to pass on the message, and the housekeeper was very anxious: "No! You can't go in."
Yan Shiyi was really angry now: "They called me in, why are you stopping me, old man? Is she made of ice or snow? Are you afraid that I will breathe on her to death?"
Jinsui couldn't help laughing. There is a reason why you and Heihu can play together. Last time, Heihu said that you were like melted malt sugar, so sticky. These are all wonderful metaphors.
Jinsui sat in the corridor holding the hand warmer without moving, watching Yan Shiyi push open the door of the courtyard with a clang, walk inside carelessly, and wait until he saw Jinsui in the corridor.
I stood there in a daze for a moment, feeling a little bit at a loss.
He never imagined that there was such a beautiful and gentle girl in Yan.
Facing such a beauty, he felt that his behavior just now was like that of an impolite lecher. It was really too abrupt! Damn housekeeper, he didn't even remind me.
Jin Sui sighed in her heart. It seems that you are not so stupid that you can't recognize people. I thought you were face-blind and couldn't recognize me! Then she was disappointed. She saw Yan Shiyi twisting his hands and feet and bowing: "This lady, Yan Shiyi is polite."
Jinsui: ...
She lifted her hair, deliberately exposing both ears, and she was just short of wiping off the balm and lip balm on her face. She applied these things not because she loved dressing up, but because she was afraid that the cold would hurt her skin.
She blinked and smiled at Yan Shiyi. Did she recognize him now? But the boy blushed instantly, coughed lightly, and dared not look at her again. He took off his cloak and threw it to the maid next to him, as if he was very hot: "Which one, Shiyi was rude just now, please forgive me, young lady."
Jinsui: ...
Your parents are too partial. They gave all their intelligence to your brother. You didn't inherit any of it! In that case, just pretend you don't know him!
Jin Sui stood up and bowed. "Hello, Eleventh Young Master. I've heard Jiu Lang mention that Eleventh Young Master is extraordinary and brave, and won the Border Town Polo Tournament. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."
Yan Shiyi was so happy, just like Sun Wukong who was given a name by Patriarch Bodhi.
There she was, with her hair raised and her head and chest puffed out, looking like a peacock spreading its tail. It was so unbearable to look at!
Brother, listen to my advice. If you react like this when you see a beautiful girl, you will have to rely on an arranged marriage to get married in this life.
He walked to the corridor in two steps, grinning from ear to ear: "Thank you for the compliment! My brother praised me like this behind my back! Hey, girl, when did you come to Yandi? If you had come ten days or half a month earlier, you would have seen me on the polo field."
I've seen it, and he's not as handsome as my Han Xing.
Jin Sui really wanted to remind him, you may have forgotten your original purpose! I am your brother's hidden 'beautiful lady', a 'fox spirit', do you want to talk about business first? Seeing that this fool was getting carried away, Jin Sui had to say: "I wonder what the eleventh young master wants to see me for?"
Yan Shiyi suddenly reacted and looked around: "My brother is not here?"
Jin Sui shook his head: "Jiulang has only been here three times, and he left after a quick visit each time, and never stayed the night here."
So I'm not your brother's mistress! Yan Shiyi was stunned: "Then why doesn't he care about Twelve Mother? He also said that the Yan family is not allowed to get involved in that matter."
Jin Sui was shocked. What did that silly girl Twelve Niang do again?
Maybe the fake Li Wang suddenly disappeared, and the silly girl who was infatuated with Taoist Xiao Ji did something rash? She asked anxiously: "What happened to Twelve Lady?"
Yan Shiyi thought it was her brother who had mentioned Twelve Niang to her, and said without any precautions: "She ran away from home and followed the Li King's troops to the north."
This sentence contained too much information. Jin Sui was stunned for a moment before he could sort out the clues. King Li's troops were heading north? Biancheng was originally the northernmost border of Daxia. Where else could they go?
Instantly, she thought of the Tartars! They could only go to the Northern Frontier Kingdom!
Her hands were shaking under her long sleeves, and she held them tightly to keep them warm so that Yan Shiyi wouldn't notice her panic.
Butler Yan ran in and winked at Yan Shiyi, "Second Master, don't tell Miss Ji about this!"
His two caterpillar-like eyebrows twisted together, Jin Sui raised his slightly drooping eyes, and swept a knife-like look at Butler Yan.
He instantly thought of the ruthless king who killed Zheng Yun with a knife. He felt his scalp tingling and his back chilled. He dared not say anything and quietly stepped aside. He had to send a letter to the head of the family. He couldn't keep it secret anymore! Miss Ji didn't even leave the door, but the news was delivered by the second young master himself.
Yan Shiyi didn't notice at all and said with interest: "Your last name is Ji too! That kid's last name is Ji too, what a pity, I didn't even see him off, how come he's gone."
Jin Sui did not ask about the details of the boy's disappearance. It was easy to deceive Yan Shiyi. Others might not believe that Taoist Xiao Ji died at the hands of thieves.
But if it was his brother's funeral, he would definitely believe it.
Instead, she pressed on, "Why did the King of Li go north in this cold winter?" Afraid that he would think she was too concerned about the King of Li, she added, "No wonder Jiulang was so worried when he came last time. It turns out that Twelve Lady went with him? By the way, what did she do there?"
Yan Shiyi slapped his thigh and said, "Shier Niang is simply possessed by a ghost. She not only doesn't believe that Taoist Xiao Ji is the fake Li King, but she also doesn't believe that he is dead.
He insisted on chasing after the team heading north to look for someone, saying that the True Li King had hidden Taoist Little Ji. "
Look, you don't have to do anything. Just look at him expectantly, hold your chin with your hands and listen to him with a smile, and he will tell you everything.
Of course, this has something to do with his current identity. In Yan Shiyi's view, a woman who is valued so much by his eldest brother is his own person.
After Jin Sui heard what he said, he brought her tea again but didn't answer her previous question. So she had to remind him again, "Second Master hasn't told me why the King of Li wants to go north?"
Yan Shiyi suddenly let out a long sigh, and became more serious than his character could describe: "This is a long story..."
"Then please keep your words short, sir."
The brewing emotions were interrupted, and Yan Shiyi returned to his quick-talking mode: "To put it simply, the emperor is critically ill, Prince Yu is the regent, and he wants to take this opportunity to kill Prince Li openly.
It so happened that the Northern Frontier Kingdom was investigating the death of 2,000 of its elite soldiers in a border town, and submitted a letter to the kingdom, saying that if Daxia did not give an explanation, they would send troops to Daxia.
Prince Yu, this cowardly fellow, simply pushed the border town away and asked Prince Li to go to the northern border to negotiate peace in person."
Jin Sui clenched her fists again, and felt her ears buzzing. Was this the content of the secret letter that Huo Zian stole? She suppressed her anger and said, "But the Tartar was killed by the fake King Li."
Yan Shiyi said with admiration: "When Jun Yanqing chased away the fake King Li in public, I was afraid that he had no conscience, but I didn't expect that he wanted to bear this matter alone.
Using the history books of the years, everyone unanimously picked Taoist Xiao Ji out of this incident, and even saved the border town and took on the important task of going to the northern border alone.
It's a pity that Taoist Xiao Ji died at the hands of a thief. If I had known earlier, I should have told him the truth, so that he wouldn't think he was abandoned until his death and would not be willing to die..."
"You said this matter has become such a big deal, my silly sister is so stupid that she insisted that Taoist Xiao Ji was in the team heading north and sneaked away in the middle of the night to chase the Li King's team.
Big brother, I don't know what's going on. He didn't send anyone to chase him, but kept running to you. I thought he was cheated.
Haha, Miss Ji is so weak, she is definitely not a liar..."
Jin Sui couldn't hear what he said next. I'm sorry to disappoint you. I am the biggest liar in the world! Gu Changxiao is so abominable. I killed the Tartars, which is such a glorious thing. Why do you take the credit from me?
Do you think that hiding the truth and letting me live like this is good for me? You conceited guy! And Yan Jiu, I trusted you so much, but you lied to me.
How long do you plan to keep it a secret? When the news of Gu Changxiao's death comes? Oh, you self-righteous men!
He took it upon himself to say, "This is for your own good," but never asked her if this was what she wanted. She stood up, ignored Yan Shiyi, and walked straight out the door.
Butler Yan was anxious: "Miss Ji, let's wait for the head of the family to come."
Jin Sui glanced over and said, "Get out of the way!"
Butler Yan shrank his neck and stepped aside, winking at Yan Shiyi, "Stop her! " Yan Shiyi was also stunned: "Miss Ji, where are you going?"
"By the way, Miss Ji, have we met before? Why do I always feel that you look familiar?"
Jin Sui sneered, "Mr. Yan, using this trick to flirt with a girl is too old-fashioned!"
Yan Shiyi wanted to stop her, but he felt embarrassed to do so after hearing this. After all, this was a guest that his elder brother had hidden away, and it would be inappropriate for him to rush over! Jin Sui didn't know where he should go. Should he go to Jiangnan to find his grandfather and Jin An? As Gu Changxiao wished, if he survived, he would pretend that Ji Sui had never existed.
Or should I go to the border town? Once the King of Li leaves, can Cheng Yu resist the Yandi nobles? Will my border town be divided up by the Yandi nobles like a cake?
When she walked out of the second gate, she saw an acquaintance.
The round-faced, pale girl with a woman's hairstyle looked much more haggard, as if she had aged ten years overnight.
Since she has a woman’s hairstyle, did she get married to Hei Hu?
Jin Sui was delighted. My Black Tiger finally got married! He had been looking forward to getting married since the first time he met him. He had worked hard to save money to buy wedding supplies. Now his wish came true.
But I don’t know if Gu Changxiao took the black tiger away?
At this moment, Miss Bai saw her face clearly, and it was obvious that Miss Bai was not face-blind.
She was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening. She knelt down in front of Jin Sui with a plop: "You are Taoist Xiao Ji's sister, right? Please, ask the prince not to take Hei Hu away! He will die in Northern Xinjiang! He has killed so many Tartars, he will definitely be chopped into pieces by the people of Northern Xinjiang."
It was a normal reaction for people to see a woman who looked like Little Taoist Ji and naturally thought she was his sister. Only Yan Jiu was sure without a doubt that she was Little Taoist Ji himself.
Yes, my Black Feather Battalion was so brave in killing the Tartars, but they just survived by luck, and most of them were buried in the cemetery.
It turned out that the imperial court issued decrees to promote and reward them, while at the same time sending them to the Northern Frontier as sacrifices for the people of the Northern Frontier to vent their anger!
What a great court, what a great Prince Yu, in the past, Daxia had rubbed the Northern Frontier to the ground! In just a few decades, the court has become so afraid of the Northern Frontier that killing the Tartars has become a sinner who provokes peace between the two countries!
Gu Changxiao, if you miss, go ahead! If you want to serve your family and country, then just go to the Northern Frontier! Why did you take my Black Feather Camp away?
They worked so hard, surviving like weeds at the border, only to have hope, but they were going to be sacrificed by this corrupt court? Jin Sui looked up at the sky. For the first time since she left the border town, her tears fell unrestrainedly.
For herself, she could hold back her tears, but for those living lives, those brothers who fought alongside her and had great trust in her, she couldn't hold back her tears.
Choking with sobs, he asked, "Are you married to Hei Hu?"
Miss Bai shook her head and nodded:
"We had already set a wedding date, but he said he couldn't marry me and couldn't let me be a widow. He gave me all his family property and told me to find another good man to marry.
But how could I possibly marry someone else? We had already made a promise that I could only be his wife for the rest of my life!
If he doesn't marry me, I will marry myself. Anyway, I have worn the wedding dress and taken off the veil myself. I am Hei Hu's wife!
If he comes back, I will bear him children and live with him. If he doesn’t come back, I will stay with him forever.”
Jin Sui helped her up and said softly, "Okay, don't worry, I will definitely bring Hei Hu back alive."
Miss Bai said hurriedly: "You can't go. The northern border is too cold and you will freeze to death. The Tartars are too barbaric and will hurt you. I only ask you to ask the prince for a favor..."
Jin Sui smiled and stroked Miss Bai’s face: “Thank you for understanding me, but I am the only one who can do this.
You and Hei Hu are both good children. God will make you happy."
Miss Bai thought of her young lady again and said hurriedly, "Please ask the prince again, don't blame my young lady, she just can't accept that Taoist Xiao Ji has left for the time being."
Jin Sui smiled gently: "Okay, I will bring back both Hei Hu and your young lady."
Unexpectedly, in her two lives, the first person who loved her deeply and risked his own safety for her was actually a woman.
It's a pity that she is a liar. If Yan Shier Niang saw her now, would she be so angry that she wanted to kill her?
So Gu Changxiao, why do you think that letting me leave without knowing anything and survive is good for me?
If you all die in the Northern Frontier, will I ever be able to sleep peacefully in this life?
At this moment, a handkerchief was handed to Jin Sui. She raised her tearful face and saw Yan Jiu in a white fur coat with a silver collar.
He sighed softly: "Miss Ji, it's cold outside, let's talk inside."
When Yan Shiyi saw his brother coming, he suddenly became anxious and panicked. He had come here with a threatening attitude to find someone, but now that someone had arrived, he acted like a sheep seeing a wolf.
She even quietly defended herself: "I didn't make her cry! I didn't do anything, she just cried on her own."
Yan Jiu didn't even have the heart to scold him. The look in your eyes is not as good as Baozhu's.
But thinking that Yan Shiyi would need to know about the following conversation, Yan Jiu glanced at him and said, "You come in too."
Yan Shiyi had originally wanted to slip away, so he had no choice but to follow him in obediently.
Butler Yan wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and hurriedly asked someone to prepare tea and snacks. Alas, the weather in Yanzhou is about to change!
