Chapter 162: Big Fight Scene
Jing Zhen put away the sinister look in his eyes and pursed his lips: "It's okay, then what?"
"Then?" Baoya sucked her little finger and thought for a moment, "Then he asked us about his brother's whereabouts, but we didn't know, and he left."
Jingzhen silently loosened his tightly clenched fists. He glanced at Nanxuan, who blinked at him with an expression that said, "Relax, nothing will happen."
Jingzhen rolled his eyes at him angrily.
This guy has never been serious, even though he is clearly in his twenties!
Baoya kept on talking, but Jingzhen didn't hear a word she said. Only two words lingered in his ears: "Duan Jiang" and "looking for his younger brother."
"Brother Xiaojing?"
Baoya talked for a while, and seeing that no one responded, she stretched out her little hand and waved it in front of him.
"Yeah." Jingzhen came back to his senses and responded briefly.
Then he suddenly stood up and said to Nan Xuan, "It's getting late. I'll take them down the mountain."
After saying that, he picked up Baoya, called Gu Wang, and walked out.
Yun Chenglu quickly put down the snacks in his hand and hurried to follow.
"Hey?" Baoya was unexpectedly picked up by him and half carried on his shoulders. She was still a little confused, "We... are we leaving now?"
Jing Zhen raised his eyebrows: "Why, you haven't eaten enough?"
Baoya touched her belly and said, "No... not really."
"Then let's go back first. It's too late and unsafe." He thought for a moment and said, "I'll wait for you at this time tomorrow."
"Okay." After hearing Jingzhen's words, Baoya felt a little relieved.
Since Brother Xiaojing promised to come tomorrow, he shouldn't let her and Second Brother wait so long.
Soon, the three men and the wolf arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Baoya and Yun Chenglu said goodbye to Jingzhen and Gu Wang and walked towards the village.
As night falls, the small green-tiled houses crowded together not far away emit a hazy warm yellow glow, and white smoke curls up in the air, which is the smell of fireworks on earth.
Baoya was led by Yun Chenglu, taking small steps. Suddenly, she raised her little hand and pointed, shouting, "Second brother, look!"
"What are you looking at?" Yun Chenglu wondered.
"Look at that group of houses. The tallest one is our house!"
Yun Chenglu looked in the direction of her finger, and sure enough, his tall building stood there firmly, particularly eye-catching.
He scratched his head, remembering a word his eldest brother had taught him before, and said, "Well, this should be called standing out from the crowd."
Baoya nodded, and when she retracted her arm, she suddenly felt that her wrist was bare.
Suddenly he was shocked and said, "Second brother, I seem to have forgotten the dragon beard noodles on the stone table!"
Yun Chenglu also stopped and said, "Go back and get it? Or wait until tomorrow..."
"Let's go back." Baoya answered quickly. She was used to wearing dragon beard noodles. If she didn't wear them for a while, she would feel empty and uncomfortable on her wrist.
…
Deep in Huya Mountain, there is a small courtyard called Peach Blossom Spring.
Jingzhen took the lonely king into the fence gate, and Nanxuan sat alone at the stone table drinking.
Seeing him come back, she gave him a look: "Are you back?"
Jing Zhen didn't answer, but just said: "It's ridiculous, he actually gave himself the pseudonym Duan Jiang."
Nan Xuan raised his hand and drank the wine in the pot, then continued, "Duan Jiang, Duan Jiang, he hates Concubine Jiang so much that he doesn't even want to leave her a son."
"I'm going down the mountain tomorrow." Jing Zhen said.
His voice was cold and his tone was firm. He was just giving you a heads-up, not discussing anything.
"You are not allowed to go!" Nan Xuan's face suddenly darkened.
"We've been hiding long enough! He hunted me down when I was eight years old and I've been on the run. It's been four years now!" Jing Zhen said angrily.
"It's been four years, and you still haven't improved."
"So what do you think progress is? Hiding here like a coward?"
"Alas," Nan Xuan sighed, "Prince Heshun was instrumental in pacifying the north, and the damn emperor sent him to take over the Imperial Guards. Are you panicking? You're worried about your brother's position being in jeopardy, but why don't you consider whether this is a trap deliberately set by that little bastard?"
"He's searched every state, county, and prefecture north of Dakang, but couldn't find you. He was just waiting for you to show up, but you, a fool, chose to show yourself up!"
"But he is taking a risky move this time, and I want to take a gamble." Jing Zhen's eyes were dark, flashing with a resolute and terrifying cold light.
"What are you betting with him?" Nan Xuanyou smiled, "Don't forget your situation, kid."
"We've been hiding for so long, being hunted by that little bastard. Has the dog emperor ever cared about you or asked you anything? Your brother is his favorite, and you're nothing more than a disaster that killed your own mother!"
His words were very stern, and he looked at Jingzhen coldly, with no trace of hostility in his peach blossom eyes, which was completely different from his usual cheerful appearance.
Jing Zhen clenched his fists and glared at him fiercely: "Yes, I am a disaster star. Not only am I a disaster star, I am also plagued by bad luck. So you should stay away from me!"
"I know you're used to being the leader of a pavilion, commanding thousands. It's a shame for you to suffer with me in this remote mountain area. I have five years left, and I'll go on my own!"
After he finished speaking, he slammed his clenched fist down on the table with such force that the stone table instantly turned into a pile of pieces.
As Baoya and Yun Chenglu walked through the peach forest and entered the gate of the courtyard, they saw her brother Xiaojing with a cold face smashing the small table where they often ate together with one punch.
The master's face was even uglier. He stared at Brother Xiaojing's back with anger, threw the wine jug in his hand to the ground, and slapped out with his palm, breaking the circle of peach trees outside the courtyard in half.
Yun Chenglu's eyes suddenly widened, but this time he was no longer marveling at how powerful Nan Xuan and Jing Zhen were. Instead, he clenched his fists, hesitating whether to pick up Bao Ya and turn around and run away.
But just as this thought flashed through his mind, Jingzhen had already picked up Baoya, held her in his arms, and ran out of the courtyard. The two of them instantly disappeared in the pink peach forest.
Yun Chenglu: ...
He opened his mouth wide, looked at the peach orchard, then looked at Nan Xuan, whose face still showed anger, and his legs shook violently for a moment.
The master was so angry, Jingzhen ran away with his sister, so he... wouldn't he become a punching bag?
Nan Xuan didn't expect that Yun Chenglu and Bao Ya would come back and see him arguing with that little bastard Jing Zhen, and they couldn't stop for a while.
Now there were only him and Yun Chenglu left in the yard. He took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, and the next second a smile appeared on his face again.
"Silly boy, come on, sit down and have a drink with me."
Yun Chenglu witnessed the whole change of his expression, and walked to the stone bench opposite Nan Xuan and sat down.
Only then did I realize, drinking? The table was broken into pieces of stone, what the hell were they drinking!
Nan Xuan saw him staring at a pile of rubble on the ground in a daze, and said with a smile: "Oh, the table is broken, it's okay, it's okay, let's go inside and have a drink."
Yun Chenglu: ...
Why didn't Jingzhen take him away with him just now!
