Who were the two women who appeared in Duke Lanyu's study can make Nian Bing so surprised, they are the sisters Ruyi and Rumeng that Nian Bing met in the brothel of Ice Orchid City a few months ago. After a brief blank in the brain, Nian Bing suddenly understood the identities of the sisters. At the beginning, he already knew that the pair of sisters were spies sent by other countries in the Ice Moon Empire and the Oran Empire. Now that they appeared in the mansion of Duke Lanyu, the head of the Imperial Army of Orlando, it was obvious that they were the Duke of Lanyu. The benefactor that Rumeng said to him back then was probably the Duke of Lan Yu, and the benefactor's daughter he mentioned should also be the girl Lan Chen who was not in the mansion. of someone. It's really a narrow road! Duke Lanyu looked at Nian Bing, who was completely new in surprise, and asked, "Do you know each other?" Ruyi snorted coldly, and said, "Master Duke, that weird young man I just told you about is him. That demon The killer is also against us because of him. Don't let him go, draw out the demon killer behind him." As he spoke, he raised his hand and drew out his own sword. "Sister, he is not a bad person." Rumeng hurriedly grabbed her sister's hand. When she reported to the Duke just now, it was Ruyi herself who was talking, and Rumeng tried to intervene several times but failed to find a chance. Ruyi said angrily: "How can a man who goes to a place like a brothel have any good people? Get out of the way. If you hadn't let him go that day, maybe we wouldn't have been humiliated by that demon killer." Lan Yu said in a deep voice: "Ruyi, stop. Don't be presumptuous." Ruyi may not listen to what other people say, but her respect for Lan Yu is completely from the bottom of her heart, so she quickly put away her sword and stepped aside, "I'm sorry, Lord Duke." Lan Yu turned her eyes to read Bing frowned slightly and said: "Young man, as a man, you can be romantic, but you can't be dirty. It's better not to go to romantic places in the future. I want to know what the relationship between the demon killer that Ruyi said is related to you." Nian Bing said indifferently : "I'm afraid what you want to know is not the relationship between me and him, but the origin of ice and fire magic. If someone else asks, I will definitely not tell you. But you are Aunt Yu's husband, I don't want to Concealment. In fact, I am the Demon Killer, and the Demon Killer is me. At that time, I disguised and punished Miss Ruyi because she killed her indiscriminately. Frankly speaking, if Miss Rumeng hadn’t interceded for her, perhaps, He has already died under my hands." Lan Yu's eyes shone brightly. "You are the Demon Killer. I hope you can explain it." Ruyi and Rumeng also showed surprise in their eyes at the same time. Nian Bing raised his chest proudly, and said coldly: "I have nothing to explain about this matter. I don't need to explain anything. Miss Ruyi is your subordinate, and you should believe his words." At this time, his The heart is like being pierced by a needle The pain was unbearable, because he saw the coldness and a trace of murder in the eyes of his most respected aunt Yu Ruyan next to the desk. Yes, although Aunt Yu has a very high status in her heart. But, after all, I have only seen him twice in so many years, so why should I let others believe me? Yu Ruyan came out from the book case, and said in a deep voice: "Nian Bing, let's go. From now on, I don't want to see you again. This time you attacked Sister Ruyi. I let you go because of the love back then. But , There will be another time, and I will never show mercy." Nian Bing smiled, and Yu Ruyan's heart trembled slightly with the sadness in his eyes, Nian Bing's heart was very cold. Since leaving Peach Blossom Forest, he has been vigilant all the time and has reservations about everyone, even Feng Nu. And after seeing Yu Ruyan yesterday, he finally let go of his heart. Losing his parents was the greatest pain in his heart, and in his heart, Yu Ruyan was gentle and kind just like his mother. Although he also knew that it was normal for Yu Ruyan and Duke Lanyu to doubt him, the pain in his heart was still extremely strong. Taking a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, he didn't even look at Ruyi, and said sadly: "Auntie, no matter how you look at me, in my heart, you are always someone I respect. I won't come again either. But, I hope you will give me a chance to cook you a meal, and I will leave right away." As he spoke, he took off the clothes from his neck that he had never left for more than seven years. Walking past Yu Ruyan, she took a deep look at the red gemstone on the jade card, sighed, and put the Tianhua card on the table. Yu Ruyan said indifferently: "You really don't have any explanation?" Nian Bing shook his head and said: "For you and the Duke, I am just an outsider. The meeting back then can be said to be a kind of fate, maybe , now the fate between us has come to an end." Yu Ruyan's eyes radiated cold light, "Nian Bing, in my life, what I hate the most are unlucky men, especially men who inflict pain on women for their own sakes. I grew up watching Ruyi. She has a strong personality and will never lie. Yes, I choose to believe her. You have a good appearance, but if your appearance is used to bully women, then you still It’s not as good as a dwarf with a birth defect. You go, I’m not in the mood to eat now, let alone what you made.” Auntie, can’t you really give me a chance to repay you? Nian Bing suddenly felt that his breathing was a little difficult, and his eyes were a little blurred. Just as Yu Ruyan was about to speak, the Duke of Lanyu said, "Ruyan, let him do it. I don't think this child looks like that kind of person, maybe he just made a mistake." Yu Ruyan looked at her husband , look at Nian Bing again, The coldness in his eyes faded a bit, he snorted softly, and didn't speak any more. Nian Bing bowed to Duke Lanyu with a calm expression, and said: "Thank you, Lord Duke, for giving me this opportunity. Could you please set up a stove in the martial arts field outside? If it is a kitchen, it is not very easy to use. If you want A large table is enough to put the dishes on. I have prepared other materials and kitchen utensils." Lan Yu nodded and said: "Okay, Ruyi, you go and have someone prepare according to Nian Bing's instructions. Let's go to the martial arts field together." Ruyi agreed, gave Nian Bing a cold look, and left the study first. Nian Bing followed her. He didn't say anything to Ruyi. What's more, Ruyi is also a poor person. Seeing that Nian Bing was gone, Ru Meng said eagerly: "Your Excellency, Madam, you have misunderstood. In fact, Nian Bing is not that kind of person." Lan Yu and Yu Ruyan were stunned at the same time, Yu Ruyan frowned and said: " You mean, Ruyi lied to us just now?" Rumeng froze all over, "No, actually, my sister, my sister is just a little extreme." Immediately, she narrated what happened that day from the beginning to the end according to her own opinion over again. After hearing what Rumeng said, Lan Yu frowned and said: "No! In my understanding. Although Ruyi has a strong personality, she is always a person who knows the general situation. Otherwise, I would not let her take charge of the northern intelligence system. I I really can't believe that his personality will have such a big change. Rumeng, are you hiding something from me, what happened to Ruyi?" The wise man has already seen some flaws, a person's personality has changed, Absolutely not without reason. Rumeng fell to her knees with a plop, "My lord, madam. I can't say anything. This matter is related to my sister's reputation. Sister, sister is already very pitiful. Please don't pursue it anymore, okay?" Yu Ru Yan's whole body was shocked, and the light in his eyes flashed, "I understand, it turned out to be him. I said that Ruyi has changed a lot in the past two years and asked for a transfer. So that's the case. Hmph, I can't spare that kid." Rumeng was shocked , hastily said: "Madam, in fact, this matter can't be completely blamed on Big Brother Lan Xun, he also has his own difficulties. Regarding emotional matters..." As soon as she said this, she suddenly noticed the change in Yu Ruyan's eyes, and then she understood, I was fooled. "Ma'am, I..." Yu Ruyan's whole body flashed with a layer of silver light, "Lan Xun, it turned out to be this kid Lan Xun. Wow, you guys really kept me from hiding it. Rumeng, you give me everything Speak up. Do you know that your sister’s Nian Bing is a reckless disregard for human life, if you don’t tell me, I will punish her.” As the wife of Duke Lanyu, how could Yu Ruyan, a little girl like Rumeng, be able to comparable. It was just a test, and I found a Cut, now she finally understands the look in Nian Bing's eyes just now, and her heart is full of regret, but what she urgently needs to know now is what happened to Ruyi. When he came to the Martial Arts Field, Nian Bing walked to the side of the shade and stood down. Today, no one practiced martial arts here, and the Martial Arts Field was empty, except for occasional servants from the Duke's Mansion passing by. He suddenly remembered what Cha Ji said to himself when he was teaching cooking. At that time, Cha Ji said that an ordinary chef must pay attention to one very important point in the process of cooking, and that is to control his emotions , Try not to let your emotions affect your cooking skills when cooking, and give full play to your skills. However, when a chef's skill reaches the peak, it is just the opposite in terms of emotions. Instead of controlling, he must fully express his emotions and use emotions to affect the food he makes. For top chefs, different emotions The food made, even the same dish, can have different tastes. Emotions are what top chefs most need to learn. Now, my heart is full of sadness, what kind of dishes can I make? He didn't know, and he didn't know either. Take a deep breath, and sigh again, anyway, after finishing this meal, the relationship between myself and Yu Ruyan will also come to an end, and there will be no more entanglements in the future. "Brother, I don't seem to have seen you before." A gentle voice came from behind. Nian Bing's whole body was shocked, and he didn't even notice when someone approached him, it was really careless. Turning around to look, I saw a young man wearing a blue samurai uniform and a long sword hanging from his waist standing behind him. This man was extremely handsome, especially the heroic spirit exuded from his body, which was easy to give people a good impression. From the looming powerful aura on his body, it can be seen that he is at least a fighter in the realm of a great sword master, and may even be a martial artist. "Hello, I just came to the Duke's mansion." Nian Bing's answer was flat and polite. Seeing Nian Bing's appearance, the blue-clothed warrior couldn't help but a surprised light flashed in his eyes. He has always boasted that he has an extraordinary appearance, but he is much worse than the blond-haired and silver-clothed young man in front of him, "Brother Tai is really handsome!" According to people, my name is Lan Xun, and I am the guard under the command of the Duke. I don’t know what your name is? Are you here at the Duke’s mansion?” Nian Bing smiled lightly and said, “My name is Nian Bing, and I’m here to serve the Duke and Duchess. The chef who cooks." "Chef?" Lan Xun's eyes were full of surprise, and Nian Bing looked up and down a lot, and said strangely: "You will be a chef?" Nian Bing smiled: "Why, isn't it? I'll confirm it later." As soon as she said this, Ruyi had brought people to the martial arts arena, and directed the servants in the Duke's mansion to set up the stove. Looking up inadvertently, he saw When Nian Bing and Lan Xun were together, a layer of frost immediately appeared on their pretty face, and they cursed in a low voice: "Likes really flock together, and people are divided into groups." Nian Bing was not far from the center of the Martial Arts Field. After eating so much iron wire snake gall, his hearing and vision have greatly improved. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel moved, and looked at Lan Xun. At this time, the expression on Lan Xun's face also changed. A pair of black There are complex emotions in the eyes. "Are you the man who failed Miss Ruyi?" Nian Bing's voice turned cold. The relationship between himself and Aunt Yu Ruyan has become so tense, no doubt because of what Ruyi said to the Duke, and the change in Ruyi is precisely because of that heartless man. Lan Xun's expression changed, and he said: "What are you talking about. I have never let down Ruyi, and he insisted on leaving me. It seems that you know a lot!" Nian Bing was a little surprised Said: "You have never failed Ruyi? But how did I hear that you failed her for a more beautiful girl?"
There was a trace of bitterness in Lan Xun's eyes, "I don't know what Ruyi told you, but my feelings for Ruyi are absolutely true. Hey, Ruyi is good at everything, but she is too stubborn."
Nian Bing asked: "Then since you were with Ruyi back then, why did you show courteousness to other girls?"
Lan Xun frowned and said, "Be courteous? It seems that Ruyi hasn't believed my words until now. Yes, I liked Miss Chen before, but then when I was most frustrated, Ruyi walked into my world. It was her who cared for me. Caring, made me recover from the broken love. I found out at that time that she was the most suitable woman for me, so we were together, and I really loved her. At the same time, I also recognized my own Location, even if Miss Chen and I don't talk about status, I am far from worthy of her character and appearance alone, so I have already let go of the previous relationship. Later, Miss Chen returned home from her master, I can already treat her like a younger sister. The Duke raised us orphans from a young age. As his bodyguard, I care about the daily life of the young lady. What is wrong with arranging various things for the young lady? I used to do all these jobs I did it. However, Ruyi didn’t understand. She thought that I had revived my old feelings for Miss, and that I was interested in Miss. No matter how I explained it, she couldn’t listen to it. She pestered me and quarreled with me every day because of this matter. I am A man, I still have a lot of things to do. One day, I was really angry with her, so I said a few words to hurt her. As a result, she asked the Duke for a transfer the next day, and she refused to answer Me. Hey, I was too impulsive at the time. Although Ruyi is a girl, she is very stubborn. I tried my best to get close to her, but she was always like an iceberg."
Nian Bing stared at Lan Xun with wide-eyed eyes. He couldn't be so unlucky, but he became a victim of misunderstanding, "Brother Lan, when you hurt Miss Ruyi, did you tell her that you wanted her but were ruthless?" , Miss Ruyi is just a substitute for Miss Chen, and you only love Miss Chen."
Lan Xun also widened his eyes, "No way, you know all of this, what is the relationship between you and Ruyi."
Seeing Lan Xun's unfriendly expression, Nian Bing hurriedly said: "I have nothing to do with Miss Ruyi, this is what Miss Rumeng told me. Brother Lan, how could you say that at the beginning? Don't you know that? How much does it hurt just a girl?"
Lan Xun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "You think I want to say that! But Ruyi's parents died since she was a child, she is too inferior. She likes to think about the worst of everything. Since she started arguing with me, she will ask me every day. Is it because she slept with me that I was with her? Is it because I still love Ms. Chen? Is it because I treat her as a substitute? Think about it, I work so much every day, and she is so entangled every day, can I Can I bear it? That day I was dazzled by anger for a moment, so I said angry words according to her wishes. "
Now Nian Bing fully understands, it turns out that Lan Xun is not a heartless person. The real problem still lies with Ruyi, so he patted Lan Xun on the shoulder and said, "Then do you still like Ruyi?"
Lan Xun said bitterly: "If I don't like her, will it be so painful? The so-called husband and wife for a day, we have already become a husband and wife. I really love her, how can I not care about her?"
Nian Bing nodded and said: "Since you really love her, you have to show courage. The so-called deep love and hate all of this. Ruyi is still so cruel to you, which proves that she will never forget you. In this case, you have a chance There are so many, it depends on whether you can grasp it. She has low self-esteem since she was a child, and she needs your patience to explain it before she can gradually change. I think, in the past, you must have communicated too little before, so there was a crisis of distrust. Are you Men, take the initiative."
Lan Xun nodded and said with a smile: "I think so too. This time Ruyi finally came back. I have already decided that no matter what, I will keep her this time. Brother, although it is the first time we meet , but hit it off very well, thank you for your explanation. Hey, but now I don’t know when is the best time to approach her.”
Nian Bing shook his head with a smile and said: "Brother Lan, you are welcome. In fact, the opportunity is not difficult to find. If you want Ruyi to change your mind, the first thing you need to do is to get the support of the Duke and Duchess. I can see that they are Ruyi girls. Most respected person. Since you have decided to be with Ruyi, why don't you start with the Duke and Duchess?"
Hearing Nian Bing's words, Lan Xun's eyes brightened, he slapped his thigh fiercely, and said: "Yes! Why didn't I think of it. Nian Bing, you really awakened the dreamer with one word, okay, I'll go to the Duke Your Excellency, go propose marriage. As long as His Excellency the Duke agrees to our marriage, everything will be much easier." After speaking, he turned around and was about to leave.
"What are you in a hurry for?" Nian Bing grabbed Lan Xun, "The duke and duchess will come here soon to taste the delicious food I made, wouldn't it be better for you to propose marriage in front of Miss Ruyi? Sincerity. Well, look, they are here." At this moment, Duke Lan Yu, Yu Ruyan, and Ru Meng came to the Martial Arts Arena from the backyard together. Lan Yu and Yu Ruyan had extremely gloomy faces, while Rumeng lowered her head, looking preoccupied.
Nian Bing didn't know that his misunderstanding had been clarified. When he saw their expressions, his heart sank. He touched Lan Xun beside him and said, "You don't have to go."
At this time, Lan Xun only had Ruyi in his heart, and he didn't notice the expressions of the Duke of Lanyu and his wife. When Nian Bing touched him, he hurried forward and came to the Duke of Lanyu and his wife.
Yu Ruyan was suffocating and had nowhere to vent her anger. She felt that someone was approaching. She looked intently and saw that it was Lan Xun who she was looking for. She was suddenly angry and was about to speak when Lan Xun fell to her knees with a plop. , "Your Duke, Duchess, Lan Yu has something to report."
Lan Xun raised his hand to stop Yu Ruyan, who was about to explode, and said calmly: "If there is anything, just say it."
Lan Yu swallowed her saliva, glanced at Ruyi, who was not far away, and said, "My lord, Lan Xun has been taught by you and your wife, and I am here today. Although Lan Xun knows that he is not worthy, but In my heart, I have always regarded you as my father. There is one thing that I have not reported to you and your wife. In fact, I have made friends with Ruyi three years ago. I hope that the Duke and his wife will allow me to marry Ruyi. I am absolutely sincere to Ruyi." After finishing speaking, he respectfully kowtowed three times to the duke and his wife.
Lan Yu and Yu Ruyan's originally angry eyes were instantly filled with astonishment, while Rumeng, who lowered her head, looked up at Lan Xun who was kneeling in astonishment. None of them thought that at this moment, Lan Xun Will say such words, but Ruyi, who is standing not far away, is stiff all over, and his eyes become dull in an instant. It is Lan Yu who has the most stable mind, and calmly said: "Do you want to marry Ruyi?"
Lan Xun nodded resolutely, and said, "My lord Duke, please help me."
Lan Yu frowned slightly and said: "As far as I know, the relationship between you and Ruyi is not as simple as making friends. Ruyi, come here."
Ruyi woke up from her sluggishness, her beautiful eyes showed an extremely complicated look, she glanced at Lan Xun, and quickly walked to Duke Lan Yu. Respectfully said: "My lord, the kitchen table and stove are ready and ready to use." Although she said the task ordered by Duke Lan Yu, her voice trembled uncontrollably.
Lan Yu nodded, turned to Nian Bing who was standing aside, and said with a smile: "Little brother, please wait a moment, I will deal with some private matters in the house."
Nian Bing nodded and said: "Your Excellency, you are welcome, you can talk about yours. I will start cooking now." While talking, he walked towards the kitchen table. Yu Ruyan wanted to say something, but when she saw Lan Xun and Ruyi in front of her, she held back and winked at her husband, signaling him to get straight to the point.
Lan Yu said in a low voice, "Lan Xun, I want to hear your explanation of my relationship with Ruyi."
Ruyi glared at her younger sister, and hurriedly said: "Master Duke, there is no need to explain anything, I have nothing to do with Lan Xun, and I will never marry him, Ruyi is willing to serve the Duke and Madam all his life , Never marry. Please, Your Excellency the Duke, to make it happen." Her tone was extremely firm, and her voice was as cold as if it could freeze the air around her.
Lan Xun felt a chill in his heart. Although he knew that Ruyi was stubborn, he didn't expect her stubbornness to be more incomprehensible than before after seeing her for more than two years.
Lan Yu smiled slightly, and her voice became much softer, "Silly girl, I raised both you and Lan Xun since childhood. What Lan Xun said was right just now, I have always treated you as my own children. , you are not subordinates, but my family, children, do you think a father would be willing to see his daughter alone for life? No, of course not, if that is the case, it will make this father extremely painful. Even if you don’t want to You don't have to be so decisive about marrying Lan Xun, I will definitely find you a good home in the future."
Listening to Lan Yu's kind words, Ruyi's eyes turned red, and she choked up and said, "Thank you, Lord Duke. I..."
Lan Yu blocked Ruyi from continuing, turned her head to think that Lan Xun said coldly: "Now you don't need to explain, I just want to hear about your relationship with Ruyi, tell me, I believe you will not lie to me."
Lan Xun still knelt there, without Lan Yu's order, he would never stand up, respectfully said: "My lord, Ruyi and I started friendship three years ago. I'm not afraid of your jokes. Originally, I like it." It's Miss Chenchen, although I know I'm not worthy, but my subconscious mind always hopes that I can have a chance, so I'm always working hard."
Lan Yu nodded and said: "Everyone of us is aware of your meticulous care for Chenchen, there is nothing unworthy of it, if Chenchen really likes you, I will never stop you, but you also know about Chenchen's situation, Now even Ruyan and I are very worried about her life, what will happen in the future, everything is hard to say." Speaking of this, the Duke's face became more sad, while Yu Ruyan shook her head helplessly When she thought of her daughter, she regretted it a little. If it wasn't because those people were too eager to chase her back then, she wouldn't have made a bad plan to send her daughter to that person as an apprentice. Duke Lanyu continued: "However, you should also feel that Chenchen has always treated you as an elder brother. Although she is usually a little cold, she is the best with you at home except Ruyan and me."
Lan Xun said: "My lord duke. Later I understood this problem. Miss Chenchen told me the same thing that day. She said that she always treated me as an older brother, and she couldn't easily combine with a man for special reasons. Her Although the voice is cold, I can feel the sincerity in my heart. At that time, I felt that I seemed to be freed from the shackles of emotions. It was also from that moment that I really gave up my pursuit of Miss Chenchen. Miss Chenchen After leaving, the sustenance in my heart for many years disappeared. Although my heart was relieved, it was subconsciously full of loss. It was at this time that Ruyi walked into my world. She cared about me, accompanied me, and silently Sitting with me all night, that night, we just sat quietly like that, although she didn't say anything, but I could feel the emotions in her heart. Only then did I realize that the person who is most suitable for me would be in my own Beside me, my heart was moved, and my feelings for Miss Chenchen really turned into a brother-sister relationship, and I faced up to my feelings for Ruyi, and launched a courtship offensive towards her. Your Excellency, Ruyi cannot marry someone else, because, because I There is already a relationship between husband and wife with her."
Nian Bing had already walked behind the kitchen table and was ready to act, but when he heard Lan Xun's narration, he couldn't help standing up and listening to how he explained to the Duke. As a bystander, he could see that the Duke of Lan Yu and Yu Ruyan seemed to know something, and Rumeng's expression was a little strange, it is very likely that he told them what happened that day, as for their current anger, more It was obviously aimed at Lan Xun. It seemed that they had already learned about Ru Yi and Lan Xun from Ru Meng. Lan Xun's luck is really good. Just when Duke Lan Yu was about to ask his teacher to ask for a crime, things may have turned around. The key now is still in Ruyi, but seeing her frozen appearance, I'm afraid it will not be so easy Inspiring, Lan Xun, it depends on your ability.
When Lan Xun said that he and Ruyi are already husband and wife, even though Lan Yu and Yu Ruyan already knew about it, their faces turned livid. Lan Xun took a peek at Ruyi, and found that her expression hadn't changed because of her narration, and she was still looking at everything coldly, as if she hadn't heard her own voice at all. With a dark sigh, he repeated what he had said to Nian Bing earlier, adding more details. During the narration, the feelings gradually became infected by the language. When he talked about the last moment between himself and Ruyi, When I was misunderstood, Ruyi’s mood, which had always been cold, finally changed, and the iceberg instantly turned into a volcano erupting, and his expression suddenly became extremely excited, "You are talking nonsense. At that time, you clearly said that you always regarded me as a substitute, but now you say yes You are angry, and you clearly want to deceive the Duke and Madam with sweet words, get out, I don't want to see you, let alone marry you."
