Chapter 49
Wang Sheng walked back to the study holding an umbrella, and saw Shi standing at the door, looking at him with a smile on his face, as if no matter what happened to him outside, there was always someone waiting for him behind him.
Wang Sheng also smiled, then trotted back and looked at Shi Ye face to face.
"Why are you standing here? The rain is coming in."
At the same time, he also put the Samadhi Talisman on Wang Sheng and said, "It's okay."
In the study, Xiao Wen held Changsun Yi and looked at the door in amazement. His old teeth were about to fall out. He had never seen his junior brother treat others so gently. If the junior brothers and sisters on the mountain saw this, it would be more magical than seeing a ghost.
He looked at Chang Sun Yi who was still licking the candied haws and shook him: "Chang Sun Yi, what do you think they look like?"
Chang Sunyi stopped and looked over confusedly, only to see the two people at the door pulling each other affectionately, saying, "Looks like my father and mother."
Xiao Wen chuckled and burst into laughter, unable to stop. "Right, right, right. It's our Xiaoyi who sees things clearly. Go tell your junior uncle now that you don't want to learn spells for the next few days. He will definitely agree to it."
Chang Sunyi's eyes sparkled, "Really?" But his smile quickly faded, replaced by a determined expression, "No, I want to learn. I want to become a powerful ghost tamer like Junior Master-Uncle."
What? Xiao Wen looked at Chang Sun Yi in surprise. How come everything changed after they came down the mountain? Shi Ye's face turned from sullen to red. Chang Sun Yi, who always loved to slack off, was determined to learn the spells well?
After returning to the inn, Wang Sheng was about to enter the house when a broad back came against him. Wang Sheng looked back and saw Shi Ye looking at him with lowered eyebrows. The infinite tenderness in his eyes drowned him completely.
Wang Sheng took a step forward for some unknown reason, leaving the seat empty. Shi Ye noticed this and strode forward to close the door.
Wang Sheng stammered, "Master, what are you doing?" He retreated all the way to the table, and then had to sit down. Seeing the tall figure approaching, he didn't know what was wrong with him. He just felt uncomfortable when he saw Wang Sheng enter the room, so he followed him in.
The two are now inseparable and follow each other wherever they go. Even Xiao Wen says that as long as he finds Wang Sheng, he will definitely see Shi Ye.
Shi Ye: “I…”
It was a rare occasion when Shi Ye couldn't articulate his words. The relationship between them had almost been strained, but he had become even more timid than before. Wang Sheng saw that he had simply cornered himself at the table and made no further move. He chuckled softly, then reached over to Shi Ye's neck and kissed him.
Tokiya froze in place, then hugged him back, holding him tightly in his arms and moving closer.
The air in the room was disordered, and a rustling sound was heard, which lasted for a long time before it stopped.
Wang Sheng discovered something with horror. He swallowed and turned his head away, missing Shi Ye's attempt to catch up. "Master, you, you..."
Shi also knew what he was talking about, but he didn't step away. He just turned Wang Sheng's face and whispered in his ear with some dissatisfaction: "Wang Sheng, that man in Zhong County calls you Xiaosheng, and the prince calls you cousin. I want to know your real name. Tell me in person."
Wang Sheng felt the breath hitting his neck and it was so hot. How come he never noticed that she was so fond of bringing up the past? It had been so long since he met A Yue in Zhong County.
With Wang Sheng's reaction ability, no matter how much time he is given, he will not realize that this is not just bringing up old grudges, but is simply a jealous person, and an old one at that.
He had no choice but to say, "My old name is Yin Nanxing. Nan means south, and Xing means stars. It was originally a name that the Princess and His Majesty discussed together. If the Queen gave birth to a prince, he would be named Yin Jianyue. They wanted us to be a star and a moon, always by each other's side, emulating His Majesty, the Princess, and the Prince of Huai'an. However, things are unpredictable."
Shi Ye carefully mentally recalled the three characters Yin Nanxing, then glanced at Wang Sheng. Wang Sheng's eyes were moist, and his words were no longer as casual as before, but rather the wise and clever son of the eldest princess. Shi Ye felt that the name was a perfect one; this man should shine like the stars in the sky.
"Nice sound." He automatically ignored the origin of Yin Jianyue's name, and his mind was filled with information about Yin Nanxing.
Wang Sheng continued to recall, "My mother loved me so much back then that she didn't even wait for me to come of age before she gave me my courtesy name."
It was as if he had known that they would not be able to accompany him for long, and he had prepared everything for Yin Nanxing.
Shi Ye touched Wang Sheng's face with his fingers and asked, "What's your name?"
Wang Sheng paused, then looked at Shi Ye cunningly and asked, "Don't you always say that I hide everything from you? This time, you tell me your story first, and then I'll tell you mine."
But Shi Ye said calmly: "I don't have any small characters. My master picked them up from the foot of the mountain."
Now it was Wang Sheng's turn to be surprised. He had always thought that Shi Ye was so outstanding, good-looking and capable, and his family must be proud of him. He didn't expect that Shi Ye would be an orphan.
But Wang Sheng himself didn't care about the past, and Shi Ye was so powerful that he certainly wouldn't care about it either, so he didn't show any pitiful expression. "My nickname is Baoci. Doesn't it sound like a girl's nickname? My mother said that when I was a child, when I wore a skirt outside, people thought I was a daughter she had secretly given birth to. She gave me this nickname on a whim. My father argued with her for a long time, thinking that the future heir of the Black Feather Army would be laughed at if he was called this."
Shi Ye pulled away a little and asked curiously, "Was the Black Feather Army originally the Prince Consort's army?"
"Yes, even Chen Nian was once my father's subordinate. Now he has been recruited by King Huai'an. However, as far as I know, he led the Black Feather Army to repel countless enemies. It can't be said that my father's hard work was buried."
Speaking of Chen Nian, Shi Ye also remembered other things. When he and King Huai'an met for the first time, Chen Nian had a deep hostility towards him. He always disliked the methods of any ghost master, especially those targeting him. After that, every time they met, he would be sarcastic. He never took such people to heart, and also gave face to King Huai'an, he ignored him.
"Master," Wang Sheng said, his voice suddenly becoming hoarse as he placed his hands on the table. "I told you I approached you out of revenge, didn't I?"
Shi Ye looked down at him, "Yeah."
Wang Sheng looked at him and said, "I happened to run into Yin Jianyue this time. I can use him to return to the capital quietly and get closer to the person behind this. This is a rare opportunity."
Yin Jianyue is accompanied by a ghost rider, and the King of Huai'an in the north has also learned about the ghost rider through Yuntai Mountain and Atler Stone, who can gather troops out of thin air. This means that after he left, ghost riders have become very common in the palace. Even if he can sneak into the capital, he may not be able to sneak into the palace.
But things are different with Yin Jianyue. He can now reluctantly trust this cousin.
Shi Ye understood what Wang Sheng wanted to say. He was very happy that Wang Sheng could tell him his plan this time. "I'll accompany you. I'm worried about you being alone. You didn't want to let the Green-Faced General go to the underworld because you wanted revenge. I'm too far away from you so you can't summon it."
Wang Sheng was surprised by Shi Ye's request to accompany him. A hint of determination flashed in Shi Ye's eyes, but he quickly hid it. He said that he would not let Wang Sheng use these eyes too much.
The man on his body gave Wang Sheng a reassuring look, and Wang Sheng did not hesitate. Now they were both in the same boat. They had even, ahem, kissed so many times. Wang Sheng thought that the master was not an outsider if he was helping him.
Wang Sheng felt much more comfortable after expressing this idea. He looked at Shi Ye, his eyes suddenly rolling, and said, "There must be a lot of people in the capital. I can just find someone and trick him into taking away his evil spirit. You're so busy, there's no need for you to go."
Shi Ye raised the corner of his mouth, staring at Wang Sheng's peeling lips, and said firmly: "Who can be as powerful as me? Who else do you want to ask for help, Baoci?"
They both smiled. Shi Ye covered Wang Sheng's eyes to prevent him from seeing his appearance, and leaned over again.
.
After the two of them agreed, Wang Sheng and Shi also came upstairs, wanting to talk to Yin Jianyue. At a glance, they saw a dozen people guarding the door, and they knew that this was Yin Jianyue's room.
Wang Sheng walked to the door and said, "I want to see your master. Please inform him to come in."
The guards glanced at each other, then knocked on the door. Someone inside barely audibly said "Come in," and the guard saluted and said, "Your Highness, someone wishes to see you."
Yin Jianyue frowned and was about to get angry. Didn't he say he wouldn't see anyone? How dare someone come in and disturb him? Wang Sheng walked in and looked at him, "Yin Jianyue."
Yin Jianyue was overjoyed and immediately stood up and called out "cousin", but when she saw Shi Ye following beside her, she glared at him and only stopped herself because of Wang Sheng.
Wang Sheng got straight to the point: "I'll go back to the capital with you, but you have to tell me which side you're on, otherwise I won't trust you."
Hearing Wang Sheng agree to go back, Yin Jianyue waved him away and then stepped forward and said, "Cousin, I would never harm you. If this is really the Queen Mother's fault, I will definitely ask her to apologize to you."
Wang Sheng and Shi Ye looked at each other and nodded. Wang Sheng asked Yin Jianyue to tell him everything he knew and found that even he knew very little about the queen.
"My mother is very ambitious and won't tell me many things. Even this time when my father sent me to assist my uncle, she got really angry. Cousin, if you come back with me, your identity must not be revealed. I will tell everyone that you are my new staff member, and you have to bear with it for a while."
He turned to look at Shi Ye again, raised his head and said, "As for you, I reluctantly allow you to be my servant and carry my shoes."
Shi Ye was about to draw his sword, but Wang Sheng, who was still thinking about how to expose the queen, stopped him urgently.
After Wang Sheng stabilized the situation in the house, Yin Jianyue decided to set off that day and sent a letter to the northern border, asking him to return to Beijing for a separate investigation. Perhaps the reason for the continuous influx of troops from Atlershi could be found in it.
They acted separately, and Shi Ye was about to go to Tuanyuan Study to hand over the wronged soul in his hand to Xiao Wen, and then say goodbye. Unexpectedly, Xiao Wen's face turned very bad when he saw him.
Xiao Wen handed the paper figurine in his hand to Shi Ye, "This is a letter from Master Yuntai Mountain himself. The situation in the back mountain is getting worse. You may have to go back to Yuntai Mountain as soon as possible."
Now only Shi Ye has many evil spirits from the ghost realm in his hands, and he has to go back to help the mountain master suppress the back mountain.
"Although I haven't been to the back mountain yet, I always feel that there is something incredible in there. Little Junior Brother, you must be careful."
Shi Ye took the paper figure, and a steady voice came from it, "Xiao Ye, there is something unusual in the back mountain, come back quickly." This was the voice of the master.
Wang Sheng was stunned after seeing the whole process. He knew that he was looking for the wronged souls everywhere because of his master's mission, but he didn't expect that this matter suddenly became so urgent. He felt that all the things that had happened in the past few days had collided with each other.
Shi Ye stood beside the bookshelf, holding the paper figure tightly, and was silent for a while.
Wang Sheng had originally planned to return alone after completing his studies. Shi Ye was just an accident, and it wouldn't matter if he were alone now. "It's okay, Master. You can go back first. I remember that Yuntai Mountain and the capital are not far apart. I'll come to find you after I finish my business."
Wang Sheng looked very nonchalant, as if he could just go back for a stroll and find Shi Ye soon. Shi Ye knew that he just wanted to avoid making things too difficult for himself, as on one side was his master, and on the other side was him.
He also understood that this was the best time for Wang Sheng to investigate the case, and he could not ask Wang Sheng to follow him back to Yuntaishan and give up this opportunity.
Seeing that the two of them were busy, Xiao Wen tactfully walked away.
