Chapter 132 Jin丨Exclusively published by Jiang Wenxue

The situation in the Taiping Palace is complicated, and the factional struggles are difficult to distinguish. Even if Xiao Mian calls him brother, the two young masters are not happy. How can they accept a martial arts killer like Yun Heyan?

Xiao Mian and Yun Heyan knew each other from humble beginnings. Now that he has become the adopted son of the Taiping King, he can no longer be as casual as before.

Zhui Ming suddenly realized this.

But Xiao Mian's mind may not be able to understand such a complicated problem.

Zhui Ming looked at Lu Xiaofeng.

Lu Xiaofeng apologized, "I said the wrong thing. I'm going to apologize to Xiao Pei and give you another bowl."

Yun Heyan watched Lu Xiaofeng add another bowl of wine and thought he was just looking for an excuse to drink, but after a closer look, Lu Xiaofeng was very sincere.

Lu Xiaofeng drank it all in one breath and saw that Pei Rui still didn't react: "Xiao Pei, are you angry?"

Pei Rui shook his head slowly.

Lu Xiaofeng: "Then why don't you say anything?"

Pei Rui: "I can't see."

He couldn't see, and all his reactions were made by Yun Heyan for him.

However, Lu Xiaofeng could not imagine that Yun Heyan and Pei Rui were actually the same person. She did not think that Yun Heyan could respond on behalf of Pei Rui, so she felt that Pei Rui was particularly cold.

Zhui Ming said on behalf of Pei Rui: "Xiao Mian likes to daydream sometimes. Maybe he didn't hear what you were doing. Don't take it to heart. I'm a little curious, how did you and Xiao Mian know each other?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "When I first saw him, he was by the river. He must have just taken a shower and his clothes were wet. Pei Rui's aura was extraordinary. I saw that he was different at first sight, so I took the initiative to step forward and say hello."

Pei Rui: "No."

Lu Xiaofeng said with a smile: "Am I wrong?"

Pei Rui: "You are being hunted, and I am being hunted too. You are afraid of implicating me, He refused to come with me."

Zhui Ming: "Chasing and killing?"

Pei Rui nodded, raised his hand and touched the scar on his face: "It was the young marquis, he sent a lot of kind people to cut my face."

Zhui Ming thought that the scars on his face were left from his childhood, but he didn't expect that they were new injuries not long ago.

Pei Rui's martial arts are very high, and it is not easy to get close to him. He was able to leave scars on his face, which shows that he was forced into a desperate situation at that time, and it might have been a life-and-death moment.

Youqiao Group was originally a neutral camp, and Zhui Ming had a mediocre feeling towards Fang Yingkan, without any special likes or dislikes. Hearing Pei Rui say this, he immediately felt that Fang Yingkan was not a good person either.

Zhui Ming: "Then how did you escape?"

Pei Rui was silent. He seemed to have no idea what was going on. He somehow survived and even locked up Fang Yingkan and sent him back to the capital.

Lu Xiaofeng: "We were assassinated in Woyun Tower. Fang Yingkan sent people to poison the food and wine in the tower and controlled their actions with the sound of the flute. Unexpectedly, Xiao Pei had extraordinary hearing and heard the flute from a distance, which stopped me from eating the poisoned food. Otherwise, I would have been controlled and committed suicide by now."

Zhui Ming was terrified. He glanced at Pei Rui and said, "You have experienced such a dangerous thing outside."

Lu Xiaofeng: "But Lord Fang still brought people to surround us. He was willing to recruit Xiao Pei and me to do something. We didn't want to have any more conflicts, so we agreed and were taken to Pingyang Mansion by him. Not long after, King Taiping arrived and encountered the assassination at the city gate. , Xiao Pei stepped forward and solved the assassin, so King Taiping favored him. "

Zhui Ming then understood the whole story: "So that's it."

Lu Xiaofeng asked curiously: "You seem to be very close to Xiao Pei, didn't Xiao Pei tell you about it?"

Zhui Ming: "He...is not good at speaking."

Lu Xiaofeng thought of the past with Pei Rui and said in agreement: "That's right. I call him Xiao Pei, but you call him Xiao Mian, calling each other by different names, it sounds a bit strange. Why don't I call you Xiao Mian too. You are so cold and sharp, but you have such a soft name, the coldness in your body has faded a lot, calling it this way seems to be closer."

Pei Rui looked absent-minded and did not respond.

Zhui Ming: "The name Pei Rui was given to Xiao Mian by his master, hoping that he would be stronger and suffer less grievances when traveling in the martial arts world. But now Xiao Mian is already strong enough, and it is time to tone down his edge. He likes the name Xiao Mian very much, and he will be very happy if you call him like this."

Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Pei Rui, and did not see any happiness from his face.

He filled Zhui Ming's glass with wine: "You and Xiao Mian have a really good relationship."

Zhui Ming smiled and said: "Xiao Mian is a good child. He knows who is good to him and will respond. Over time, they become close."

Pei Rui said slowly; "Cui Ming likes the sister, and is the brother."

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned, and he immediately thought of the woman named Xiao Tou mentioned by Zhui Ming.

It turns out that Zhui Ming treated Pei Rui especially well because Xiao Tou was dead.

I just wonder how much Pei Rui and Xiao Tou look alike... Will Xiao Tou be as strong and powerful as Pei Rui?

Zhui Ming and Lu Xiaofeng chatted for a while, and the two vests sat silently beside them.

Xue Chen: [Why aren't you off work yet?]

System: [It's almost time. Why don't you tell Zhui Ming to ask for leave for Xiao Mian and go directly to the Taiping Palace?]

Xue Chen: [It's not good to always ask for leave, and Zhui Ming and Lu Xiaofeng are chatting happily. Leaving at this time will make Da Mian seem emotional. Do you have any emotional intelligence?]

System: [Does Da Mian have high emotional intelligence just by sitting here without saying a word? 】

Xue Chen:【If it's just Da Mian, it definitely won't work. But Lu Xiaofeng is here, no matter what prejudice Cui Ming has against Da Mian, Lu Xiaofeng will take the initiative to help me explain, and will not let Zhui Ming misunderstand me. The better Zhui Ming's perception of Lu Xiaofeng, the more weight Lu Xiaofeng's words will have. Da Mian can win Cui Ming's favor without doing anything.】

System:【Then you sit down.】

Yun Heyan was dazed for a while, and suddenly swallowed her saliva:【I want to eat chocolate mousse cake.】

System:【Cui Ming is still here! Be patient, Xiao Mian will be off work soon!】

Xue Chen:【Actually, I'm more curious about Zhui Ming's taste.】

The system was silent for a while:【I'm a little curious too.】

Yun Heyan put down the sword, folded his hands, and gently rubbed the wound on his left wrist with his thumb, trying to use the pain to divert his attention.

System: [Didn't you just bite yourself? Why do you want to drink blood so soon?]

Xue Chen: [I don't know if you have ever had that situation. You just finished a meal and saw someone else eating something. Even if your stomach is full, you still want to eat it.]

System: [I haven't eaten.]

Xue Chen: [Then you are so pitiful.]

Xue Chen and the system were silent for a while. The taste of chocolate mousse lingered in his mind. He became more and more greedy. Finally, he said loudly to the system: [I can't bear it! I can't bear it! 】

The system wanted to cover Zhui Ming's eyes immediately: [No...]

Pei Rui raised his hand, took the knife beside him, and cut a line on the palm of his hand.

Zhui Ming noticed his action: "Xiao Mian?"

Pei Rui raised his eyes and looked over. His gray eyes were lifeless, but there was a feeling of clarity, very clear.

He tilted his head and raised his hand in front of Yun Heyan.

Yun Heyan grabbed his hand and couldn't wait to come over and drink it.

Xue Chen: [Such a thick chocolate flavor, worthy of Xiao Mian! 】

System: [I think Zhui Ming wants to hit someone now. 】

Xue Chen: [What's the big deal about being able to eat such delicious chocolate mousse cake? 】

System: [……]

Zhui Ming was completely stunned. After several seconds, he suddenly put down the wine bowl, stood up and walked quickly to Pei Rui. He looked at Yun Heyan in disbelief: "What are you doing!"

Yun Heyan's eyes were confused, and the redness at the end of his eyes became more and more obvious. He swallowed the blood very carefully and could not spare the energy to respond to Zhui Ming.

Lu Xiaofeng hurriedly stopped Zhui Ming: "Listen to me! Yun Heyan has no bad intentions, he is just sick, calm down!"

"Sick?" Zhui Ming found it hard to accept, "He is drinking blood!"

And it was Xiao Mian who hurt herself on her own initiative and handed her hand over.

Xiao Mian is silly and doesn't understand many things. Why is she so skilled in doing such things?

Yun Heyan saved his life. Did she teach Xiao Mian like this on purpose to repay her kindness?

Zhui Ming felt distressed when he saw Pei Rui's expressionless face.

He knew Pei Rui had suffered a lot and been hurt a lot in places he couldn't see, but Pei Rui was not good at speaking and couldn't say anything when asked. Zhui Ming just saw the tip of the iceberg today...

Xue Chen: [Cui Ming must be particularly repulsive to Da Mian now because he exposed his flaws right after they met. After lowering his expectations of him, as long as Da Mian has a little good point, Zhui Ming will be moved! ]

System: [Are you doing this on purpose again? ]

[If not, I'm just greedy. ] Xue Chen said proudly, [And Lu Xiaofeng is here too. He will definitely help Da Mian explain. This storm can be perfectly calmed down without destroying his character. It's really killing two birds with one stone. 】

System: [……]You are telling both truth and lies, right?

Lu Xiaofeng: "I don't know what disease this is, but it's all true. Otherwise, how could a healthy person suddenly drink blood? Look at his own hands, they are all cuts. No one wants to be like this. He definitely didn't mean to hurt Xiao Pei!"

Pei Rui nodded: "He was greedy."

Lu Xiaofeng: "You also know about his disease?"

Pei Rui: "Yeah."

Lu Xiaofeng's words made sense, and Zhui Ming calmed down a little.

Yes, who would have nothing to do and drink other people's blood? Except for special martial arts, or being possessed by demons, the only way is to be sick and need blood to suppress it.

Wasn't he the same in the early years, because he had to drink medicinal wine because of internal injuries?

Zhui Ming was still unhappy. He looked down at Pei Rui with disapproval: "Do you think I didn't see it? Yun Heyan hasn't said anything yet, but you cut your hand first. If he was fine originally, wouldn't you have been injured in vain, and you also caused him to lose his mind?"

Pei Rui aggrieved: "Cui Ming."

Yun Heyan had almost finished drinking. He licked the wound on the palm of his hand, half-squinting his eyes like a well-fed cat lying in the sun to bask in the sun.

He was obviously tall, powerful, and dressed in black. He should have been cruel and gloomy after drinking blood, but for some reason, his expression was somewhat similar to Pei Rui, as if he was detached from the world and didn't care about many things. However, because he was older, he looked mature and stable, not as stupid as Pei Rui.

Zhui Ming glanced at Pei Rui, then at Yun Heyan, and had to admit that Lu Xiaofeng was right.

The temperaments of these two people are indeed very similar.

The blood in the wound coagulated and no more blood flowed out. Yun Heyan let go of him and Pei Rui withdrew his hand.

Zhui Ming sighed, "Give me your hand."

Pei Rui seemed not to hear him and did not react at all.

Zhui Ming: "Xiao Mian."

Pei Rui blinked slowly and raised his hand slowly, "Do you want to drink too?"

Zhui Ming glared at him: "I don't want to drink!"

Pei Rui: "Oh."

Zhui Ming pulled him up and said to Lu Xiaofeng: "I'll take him to treat his wound first."

After that, he glanced at Yun Heyan.

Lu Xiaofeng: "Don't worry, Yun Heyan will never do anything out of line except drinking blood. I have been with him for a long time, and no one in the world knows him better than me."

Zhui Ming: "I am rude."

After that, he took Pei Rui away.

Yun Heyan came back to his senses from his confusion. He savored the taste of chocolate in his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "Lu Xiaofeng, if I get sick again, will Cui Ming offer me blood to drink in order to protect Xiao Mian?"

"What Cui Ming? My name is Zhui Ming! Xiao Mian can accept that Zhui Ming calls me that. You have only known him for a short time. It would be rude to call him by the wrong name." Lu Xiaofeng was overwhelmed. "Zhui Ming and Xiao Mian have a good relationship. It is very rude for you to do this to Xiao Mian in front of him..."

Yun Heyan: "I will apologize to him."

Lu Xiaofeng: "It's not that you should apologize to Zhui Ming, you should apologize to Xiao Mian. He is blind, separated from his parents at a young age, his brothers and sisters died early, and he has been wandering alone for so many years. Suddenly he found his family. Zhui Ming can't pity him too much. Xiao Mian is no longer the same as before, you should also pay attention to it. It doesn't matter what you do in private, but you can't be like before in front of other people."

Yun Heyan: "This is a matter between Xiao Mian and me, what does it have to do with others?"

Lu Xiaofeng: "You think it has nothing to do with it, but others may not think so. Xiao Mian has been involved with the Shenhou Mansion and the Taiping Palace. He is no longer an ordinary gangster. As friends, we should also think about him and not make things difficult for him."

System: [Lu Xiaofeng is so nice. Why do you have to make things difficult for him? 】

Xue Chen: [I just like to hear him say this kind of thing. You should learn from him and don’t make people angry at every turn. 】

System: [But Lu Xiaofeng didn’t make you angry, but she was also persecuted by you. 】

Xue Chen: [How can it be called persecution! That was just a prank between friends. It can deepen our relationship! 】

System: [……]

Seeing that Yun Heyan seemed to have heard it, Lu Xiaofeng sat next to him: "I have heard that the Prince of Taiping is the number one person under the emperor. I wonder how his mansion compares to the Shenhou Mansion. The Prince of Taiping and I met in Pingyang Mansion. He is a very dignified man, but he is very kind in private and doesn’t pay much attention to those red tapes. He is a very easy-going person."

Yun Heyan said nothing.

Lu Xiaofeng reminded him: "You want to give Qingyi Building to King Taiping. Although you are actively giving benefits to King Taiping, you are also asking for help. When you get there, you can't be as casual as you are now. Don't give gifts that fail to achieve your goals and end up making enemies."

Lu Xiaofeng is a person with high emotional intelligence. He can get along well with anyone.

He has his own philosophy of dealing with things. It is not difficult for him to deal with the ways of the world. Instead, he is like a fish in water and very free and easy.

But with Yun Heyan as a burden, he has to devote some energy to take care of her.

After saying these words, Lu Xiaofeng himself found it incredible.

In fact, he rarely interferes with other people's affairs. After all, everyone has different personalities and lives. Even the best friends should not interfere too much with each other.

Lu Xiaofeng's own experience may not be applicable to others. He has always respected the fate of others, but now he couldn't help but say such words, which was a bit unlike himself.

This situation seems to have started after Yun Heyan bit Ximen Chuxue... If

Yun Heyan did something wrong, he would also be implicated.

Moreover, they are friends. Yun Heyan is not conscious, and he can't ignore it. Gradually, he developed a sense of responsibility.

After thinking it through, Lu Xiaofeng added: "If you have other ideas, just pretend I didn't say it."

Yun Heyan said softly: "You are right, thank you."

Seeing that he was willing to appreciate it, Lu Xiaofeng became happy.

Zhui Ming bandaged Pei Rui's wound, and it was almost time to get off work.

Pei Rui followed Zhui Ming back with a clean white cloth wrapped around his hand and a long sword in his hand. Zhui

Ming asked, "Do you have a place to stay?"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "To be honest, we came here to ask Xiao Mian to introduce us to the King of Taiping."

Zhui Ming knew that Lu Xiaofeng had worked for the King of Taiping when he was in Pingyang Prefecture, and that Yun Heyan had been in the army for a few days and was acquainted with the King of Taiping.

Lu Xiaofeng and Yun Heyan were both very powerful characters, but they could not be used by the Shenhou Mansion. Zhui Ming felt it was a pity.

He did not ask any more questions and let Pei Rui go.

Yun Heyan and Pei Rui walked side by side, Lu Xiaofeng stood on the other side of Pei Rui: "Your martial arts have improved again?"

Yun Heyan looked over, Pei Rui also tilted his head, and the two spoke together: "Who?"

The two of them were so tacit that Lu Xiaofeng felt strange: "I mean Xiao Mian."

Pei Rui: "No."

Lu Xiaofeng: "Really? But why do I feel that your gestures are not the same as before?"

Pei Rui: "Imagination."

System: [He is so sharp.]

Xue Chen: [It's not that he is sharp, Xiao Mian can't see, and he had to concentrate to walk like ordinary people before. With the sight of Da Mian, it is much more convenient to walk. Cui Ming could find something wrong, so there is no reason why Lu Xiaofeng couldn't notice it. 】

System: [Aren't you afraid of being exposed? 】

Xue Chen: [Exposed what? 】

System: [You and the vest are the same person. 】

Xue Chen: [Do you think anyone would believe it? 】

Even if there are Gatling guns and UFOs in this world, these people can't guess that two living people who appear at the same time are the same person, right?

What's more, their backgrounds are complete and they have their own life trajectories.

Xue Chen and Lu Xiaofeng came to the Taiping Palace.

Pei Rui's identity is special, and the guards didn't even ask questions and let him go directly.

Lu Xiaofeng thought to herself, it seems that Pei Rui is living well in the Taiping Palace. Even if he is the adopted son of the Taiping King, he is not like other adopted sons who can only be a subordinate servant.

Prince Taiping really treated him as his son.

Pei Rui came to the front yard, and through Yun Heyan's eyes, he saw the people in the yard clearly. He asked directly without looking away, "Where is Dad?"

The guard said, "The prince hasn't come back yet."

Pei Rui nodded, "Tell me when Dad comes back."

The guard said, "Yes, Third Young Master."

Pei Rui took the two back to his residence and waited for a while. When it was almost time for dinner, someone came to report that Prince Taiping had returned.

They went directly to the front hall.

Pei Rui turned his head and said to Lu Xiaofeng, "The food at home is delicious. Would you like to eat more?"

Lu Xiaofeng thought of the days when they were together. First, they fled everywhere. After following Fang Yingkan, they were worried that the food was poisonous, so they looked for food everywhere every day.

Pei Rui, this little bastard, could clearly tell whether the food was poisonous or not, but because the food he brought back was delicious, he said nothing and waited for him to bring food back every day.

Lu Xiaofeng smiled and said, "Then I must taste it carefully."

System: [……]

Pei Rui nodded seriously.

-Gong

Jiu came to Xue Chen and pushed the door open: "Brother, let's go to the front to eat together."

Xue Chen was sitting on a low couch with his clothes draped over him. He shook his head when he heard this: "I won't go. Go by yourself. Don't keep Dad waiting for too long."

System: [Aren't you going to see Da Mian and Xiao Mian?]

Xue Chen: [No.]

The system thought for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason: [Why?]

Xue Chen: [Lu Xiaofeng has seen me. Who knows if he will reveal my identity at this time. If I take the initiative to go over, won't my brother be exposed? Not only am I not going, but my brother can't go either. This is the self-cultivation of a villain.]

System: [Are you a villain?]

Xue Chen: [Am I not?]

The system answered affirmatively: [You are. Gong Jiu

came over and touched his forehead: "What's wrong?"

Xue Chen smiled gently: "I feel a little uncomfortable today. I feel lazy and don't want to move. Just eat here."

Xiao He brought in a pot of hot water: "Young Master felt uncomfortable yesterday, but he was afraid that the prince and the prince would worry, so he kept it to himself and didn't let me tell anyone."

System: [No wonder you suddenly became so artificial yesterday, it turned out that you had planned it!]

Xue Chen: [Can you use some nice words?]

System deliberately: [No wonder you suddenly became so artificial yesterday, it turned out that you had prepared for a rainy day!]

Xue Chen: [Just say that there is nothing wrong with my role as Xiao Mian. Every time I think I know you well enough, you can refresh my cognition again. This IQ is completely an abyss, there is no end no matter how you look at it. 】

System: [Woo, woo. 】

Gong Jiu said something else while he was arguing with the system, but Xue Chen didn't hear it. When he came to his senses, he saw his brother's eyes full of concern: "Have you taken the medicine Xie Heng left on time these days?"

Xiao He treated Xue Chen sincerely. Even though she had betrayed Gong Jiu, she would still tell him about the eldest son's health: "The eldest son said he is better, and he has stopped taking the medicine for six or seven days."

Xue Chen said unhappily: "Xiao He."

Gong Jiu: "Go on." Xiao

He: "It turns out that the eldest son has not recovered from the cold, and he has been taking medicine every day. I have to take medicine every day, but I really have no appetite, so I didn't take the medicine given by Master Xie. After the eldest master recovered, he felt much better and refused to use those medicines. I didn't expect that he felt uncomfortable again yesterday.

It was my fault for not taking good care of him. Please punish me, Master." Gong Jiu said in a bad tone: "You should be punished."

Xue Chen stood up and looked directly at Gong Jiu: "What I want to do, even you may not be able to stop it, so why blame her. I think you want to blame me, so you take it out on Xiao He?"

After saying that, he turned around and walked to the inner room.

Gong Jiu realized that he had said the wrong thing.

The eldest brother didn't know that he had bribed Xiao He, and asked Xiao He to take good care of him and report his every move at any time.

Xiao He didn't do her part, so it was only natural for him to punish her.

But his tone was a little harsh. They had a conflict before. Xiao He was the eldest brother's personal maid. He punished Xiao He in front of the eldest brother. Wasn't he provoking the eldest brother's majesty?

Gong Jiu was secretly upset and followed Xue Chen to the inner room: "Brother, I didn't mean that. It's just that sometimes I don't think too much, and I don't know why, but the words just come out of my mouth."

System: [His explanation this time seems different from before.]

Xue Chen: [There is progress.]

System: [But I can't see what's different.]

Xue Chen: [It doesn't matter, I can see it.]

Xue Chen stared at Gong Jiu: "Your little thoughts can't be hidden from me."

Gong Jiu said nothing.

Xue Chen: "In order to gain a foothold on the Nameless Island, you told others in a hurry that you like to be humiliated and abused. It is indeed understandable. But that doesn't mean you are stupid. You are a smart person, and no one knows this better than me."

Gong Jiu's little thoughts were exposed by his brother, and his facial expression changed subtly. Although there was not much change, he looked much more powerful and returned to his usual demeanor.

System: [Ah! He was just pretending to be stupid! And he was pretending to be stupid with an expressionless face! This acting is really amazing!]

Gong Jiu was very happy: "Brother and I really have a tacit understanding."

Xue Chen sat on the bed and looked into his eyes: "What's wrong with Xiaohe?"

Gong Jiu immediately responded: "Brother is not sick?"

Xue Chen nodded.

Gong Jiu thought, he was really too concerned and confused, he didn't even notice such an obvious thing.

My brother must have discovered something was wrong a long time ago, so he pretended to be sick to test the relationship between him and Xiao He.

He fell into the trap so easily, and without the eldest brother saying anything, he took the initiative to expose himself.

System: [What do you mean? My brain is not enough.]

Xue Chen: [Put Xiao He's matter out in the open to attract the attention of the stupid brother, so that he won't show up in front of Lu Xiaofeng.]

System: [Can't you just pretend to be sick?]

Xue Chen: [If I pretend to be sick, I will stay here by myself. My brother might still come over, and he may even go to the front to bring me some food. Besides, I haven't finished teaching him a lesson, and I don't want to bring up the past again, so I can only create some new contradictions. 】

System: [……] He is lucky to have you.

Xue Chen put on his clothes; "Tell me, what happened to Xiao He?"

Gong Jiu didn't think it was a big deal. He remained calm and had no guilt. He answered frankly: "I am worried about my elder brother. Tell Xiao He. Tell me everything about my elder brother. Only then can I leave home with peace of mind."

Xue Chen covered his chest and took a deep breath: "If I send someone to follow you and report your every move to me, will you be happy?"

Gong Jiu knew that he was angry, and hurried forward to transfer his internal force to him: "I wish for it. I can accept whatever my elder brother does to me."

Xue Chen: [He is so perverted!]

System: [That's right!]

Xue Chen: [It's over. I can't act anymore.]

System: [You have come to this day? ]

Xue Chen locked it in a small dark room.
