Chapter 380: People are missing
"Xie Congyi, I know you want to get everything you set your sights on.
Wasn't it my face that attracted you in the first place?
If I no longer have this face, will you stop?"
"What do you mean?" Xie Congyi frowned slightly, "Could it be that you want to ruin your own face?
Ha ha ha ha……"
Xie Congyi suddenly laughed out loud, "Do you think you can use this to threaten me? If your face is ruined, I will just lose a toy, but you will lose your whole life. The only one who will lose is you."
“Losses? Only those with vested interests consider losses.
For someone like me who has already lost everything, there is nothing left to lose."
Ning sighed as he spoke, already prepared for the net to break.
"Hello!"
Suddenly a voice came from the alley.
"Xie Congyi, after all these years, your temper still hasn't subsided at all."
Xie Congyi turned around and saw the person opposite him, and immediately sneered: "Qi Yunzhou, I didn't expect it to be you!
I have been in the capital for about a month, and you have been hiding and refusing to see me. Today you come out to save the beauty.
You are reluctant to let her go because you have fallen in love with her!
It's really funny, you still haven't changed your bad habit of stealing my things?"
"Don't use your dirty thoughts to judge others. I just see injustice!"
Qi Yunzhou strode over and stood between Xie Congyi and Ning Tan: "Miss, please leave quickly."
"Thank you!" Ning Tan bowed to Qi Yunzhou, turned around and ran out of the alley.
Xie Congyi suddenly pushed Qi Yunzhou and said, "Qi Yunzhou, I haven't dealt with you in the past few years. I gave you face, but you still dare to interfere in my affairs."
Qi Yunzhou said politely, "Why, you want to hit me again? After all these years, you haven't made any progress, and your methods are still so despicable.
With your wealth and means, can you really succeed the position of Patriarch of the Xie Family?"
"You..." Xie Congyi took a deep breath and tried hard to control his temper. "Qi Yunzhou, don't worry, I will soon make you obedient."
After Xie Congyi finished his harsh words, he strode away angrily.
Qi Yunzhou felt relaxed and at ease, and walked towards the alley entrance.
The other companions should have arrived home. Ying Zhilin must be worried if he didn't see him!
He quickened his pace.
Suddenly, a pair of hands reached out from the side and covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Mmmmm..." He didn't struggle much before his body went limp and he lost consciousness.
Small courtyard.
Ying Zhilin had been reading all day and felt a little sore in his back.
He stood up and stretched, then heard voices coming from the outer courtyard.
The people who went out in the afternoon are back.
Qi Yunzhou also returned home safely.
Ying Zhilin breathed a sigh of relief and went to the front yard to join in the fun.
It didn't matter that I looked around, but I couldn't find Qi Yunzhou.
"Where's Qi Yunzhou? Why didn't he come back with you?"
"Qi Yunzhou was engrossed in reading at 'One Point of Ink'. We called him but he wouldn't respond, so we came back first."
"It's getting late now. I'm sure he'll be back soon."
The companions from the outer courtyard explained.
They were unaware of the hidden dangers, so they didn't care that Qi Yunzhou came back late, and even thought it was normal.
If someone really was targeting Qi Yunzhou, it would be too dangerous for him to walk home alone.
"No, I have to go pick him up!" Ying Zhilin said this and ran hurriedly to the stable.
From time to time, he would ride out on horseback.
The companions looked at each other in confusion: "Brother Ying, is he too concerned about Brother Qi?"
"I've never been this nervous about my wife!"
"Could it be that... Brother Ying has a homosexual tendency and has taken a fancy to Brother Qi?" someone joked.
The others were silent.
It’s not their fault for having such wild thoughts, it’s just that the two people’s recent behavior has been very abnormal.
Not only did they eat and live together, Ying Zhilin also kept Qi Yunzhou under control and didn't let them go out.
"Brother Ying is so handsome, Brother Qi won't be at a disadvantage either." The atmosphere was really awkward, and someone tried to liven it up.
"...That's right! If Brother Ying were a woman, she would definitely be the most beautiful woman in Dayong. If he were interested in me, I could also be selectively gay..."
"What a pity, Brother Ying doesn't like me..." The atmosphere soon became cheerful again.
The Longyang style is not uncommon.
Many families would arrange one or two good-looking servants to help their sons meet their needs before they get married.
"Don't talk nonsense." Gu Dun suddenly stood up to clarify.
Gu Dun is Ying Zhilin's senior brother. He passed the imperial examination in the autumn, and this time he also wants to take part in the spring examination.
Everyone was embarrassed: "We were just joking."
"You can't even joke about it." Gu Dun said solemnly, "Zhilin is married, and in order to make his wife happy, he's almost become a wife slave.
If the rumors you just told get to his wife's ears and she gets angry and doesn't want him anymore, you can't afford to compensate him for his wife."
Some people were curious: "Why does he care so much about Qi Yunzhou?"
Gu Dun sighed: "It's all because of what his wife said. She said she felt that something bad would happen to Qi Yunzhou before the Spring Examination.
In order to reassure his wife, Zhilin could only keep an eye on Qi Yunzhou.
Otherwise, a bookworm like him would waste his free time on Qi Yunzhou instead of reading to comfort his wife. "
Everyone grinned at this and teased Ying Zhilin, "I didn't expect Brother Ying to be such a man."
"In our place, it's called a henpecked man."
Some people were also curious: "What does Brother Ying like about his wife? Doesn't his wife look extremely beautiful?"
Senior Brother Gu Dun said, "This is a matter between them, how would I know.
It's probably one of those things where you get the lid that fits the pot!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and the matter was over.
Senior Brother Gu Dun was very proud: I helped Junior Brother Ying solve a big problem today, let’s see how he repays me!
Ying Zhilin rode his horse all the way to Yidianmo.
A Little Ink has taken down its sign and is preparing to close.
"Su He, where is Qi Yunzhou? Where is he?"
"Scholar Qi has already left! He's been gone for half an hour."
"What!"
Ying Zhilin was very anxious, "Go and tell Yan'er quickly that Qi Yunzhou is missing."
Su He knew that something big had happened, and he didn't dare to delay for even a second. He handed the shop to the waiter and ran towards Qingfeng Xiaolou.
Ying Zhilin reminded her: "Go on horseback."
Su He ran back, rushed to the backyard, found a horse, and galloped away again.
Ying Zhilin also walked back along the way, asking and looking for people.
Although Qi Yunzhou was dressed like a scholar, because of the Spring Examination, the capital was full of scholars, so Qi Yunzhou's features were not obvious.
Ying Zhilin asked on two streets, but still had no clue.
He asked everyone one by one, which was very inefficient.
We have to think of a different way.
Right here, Wen Yan arrived on horseback carrying a bundle.
