After the man was slapped, he didn't respond, but just touched her again.
Wen Yantong shrank back in shock, and finally couldn't help whispering, "Who are you?! What do you want to do!"
As soon as the words fell, the man covered his mouth, and his breath was blocked in his throat.
In just a split second, Wen Yantong inquired about the faint scent of ink, and she immediately calmed down, a thought popped up in her mind.
Then the person in front of her squatted down, leaned close to her ear, and said in an air voice, "Don't make any noise."
The fiery breath hit the tips of her ears, which made her a little excited at the moment.
It's Chi Kyung-hee!
How could he appear in such a place? Shouldn't they be with Mu Yang and the others? Or were they captured too
Several questions flooded into her mind for a while, she subconsciously raised her hand to touch Chi Jingxi's face, and felt the cold mask on his face.
She was very resistant to this silver mask, and she wanted to shrink back for a moment. As soon as she retracted her hand, she was caught by Chi Jingxi.
Before the two could speak, they heard movement from the room next to them.
It turned out that Jiang Ling was woken up by that slap just now, he quickly got up and listened carefully to the hole, and heard Wen Yantong's voice, he thought it was the silver-masked servant who broke in at night.
He quickly asked, "Wen Yantong, what happened to you?"
Chi Jingxi and Wen Yantong looked in that direction at the same time, and Jiang Yan continued, "If you have anything to do, just tell me, and I can help you."
Wen Yantong could only say, "I'm fine."
Jiang Ling seemed a little unconvinced. Looking at the emptiness here and there, he saw that Yantong's room was pitch black, and he couldn't see anything. He became more anxious and said, "I am their master, and they will listen to me, so you If you encounter anything, you must tell me, do you know? I will let them let you go tomorrow."
Wen Yantong couldn't help but said, "You are good enough as a master, you are all locked in the room."
Jiang Ling said, "There is a reason for that."
The two of them talked a few words, and then attracted patrolling people, knocked on Jiang Ling's door and asked, "Is there something wrong with the Second Young Master?"
Jiang Ling immediately raised his voice and replied, "I'm fine, I just said a few words to my friend, don't worry about me."
The person outside the door responded, then turned and left.
What Jiang Ling said was correct, he was indeed the master of these masked people, but he was imprisoned here for some unknown reason. And she was locked up next door to Jiang Ling, probably because it was revealed on the way here that she was studying at Songhai Academy.
Wen Yantong raised his eyes to look at Chi Jingxi, and saw him leaning over, whispering in her ear, "Ask him why he was locked up here."
Her ears were itchy from the heat, she shrank her neck, curled up in Chi Jingxi's arms, and asked, "Since you are the second young master, why are you still locked in this small dark room?"
"Small dark room? This is not a small dark room." Jiang Ling said.
His house is completely different from Wen Yantong's. Wen Yantong's house is impoverished, there is nothing in it, and he can only sit on the ground. But Jiang Ling's house is indeed complete, although it is a bit small.
Wen Yantong said casually, "I mean, since you have such a high status, why are you still locked up?"
Jiang Ling was silent for a while after hearing this, and only said, "Of course there is something hidden."
He was still vigilant and refused to speak.
Wen Yantong looked at Chi Jingxi again. After getting no answer from Jiang Ling, Chi Jingxi didn't let her ask again, but just said to her, "Get up."
Wen Yantong got up as he said, but was held back by Chi Jingxi, walked a few steps to the side, and suddenly stepped on something soft.
"What's going on now? It's just getting soft." Wen Yantong stepped on it a few more times to test it out.
Chi Jingxi silently pulled her back a little, and whispered next to her ear, "I made the floor for you."
Wen Yantong hurriedly put his feet back, and looked at him in surprise.
Unexpectedly, the moment he came in just now, he was busy laying the floor for her again. Obviously knowing that there is nothing in this room, and wanting her to sleep comfortably at night.
Wen Yantong was surprised and delighted at the same time, squatting down to touch, he found two layers of robes, and further down was the folded soft grass. Although there was no cotton pad to sleep comfortably, it was much better than sleeping on the floor.
Chi Jingxi squatted down and said, "I can't rescue you for the time being, so I will wrong you first."
Wen Yantong asked back, "Why did you appear here?"
Chi Jingxi said, "In fact, I have been following you all the time."
Wen Yantong was surprised, "Did you come here by yourself?"
Chi Jingxi nodded slightly, and the two were very close. Although the lights in the house were dim, Chi Jingxi still saw the plaster rubbed on her face, and wiped it off with her hand, and said, "You go back to the carriage with him and call I felt uncomfortable, so I found an excuse to prevaricate Mu Yang, and followed me down. Then I saw you being taken away, and I arranged for Yang Er and Qian Yuan to go back to the palace to contact the people at the foot of the mountain, and I followed to protect you."
The last protection for you made Wen Yantong's heart skip a beat, and all the restlessness and uneasiness disappeared in an instant.
Chi Jingxi can always surprise her.
She held Chi Jingxi's face and kissed her, "You are really my Jingxi."
Chi Jingxi didn't expect her to attack suddenly, he paused, and then nodded her forehead, "Shan Li."
"Okay, single gift, single gift." Wen Yantong remembered that he could no longer call him by name after giving the word, and said with a smile, "Do you have any plans for the single gift now?"
Chi Jingxi's breath was a little unstable, and after taking a few deep breaths, he said, "My people have already mixed into the interior of this organization, and when the people from the mountain come up, they can counterattack."
Wen Yantong nodded, "So all I have to do now is stay in this room, right?"
Chi Jingxi took out the pastry wrapped in oil paper from his sleeve, stuffed it into her hand, and said, "No, you still have things to do."
Wen Yantong finished the oiled paper bag, and was a little taken aback when he heard that he could still help.
Chi Jingxi didn't stay for too long that night, fearing that others would become suspicious. Before leaving, Chi Jingxi asked, "Have you remembered everything I told you?"
Wen Yantong nodded, "That's natural."
Chi Jingxi's eyes were soft, and he couldn't help but patted her head, "Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Wen Yantong raised his hand to hold his thin wrist, pulled it down and pressed his face against his palm, then turned his head and pressed a light kiss on his palm, and said in a low voice, "You should also pay attention to safety, don't get hurt. "
Chi Jingxi only felt a slight itching in his palms, and the scorching breath spread all over his heart. He couldn't help slipping his throat, and his beautiful eyes were stained with tenderness, "Okay."
He left quickly, as lightly as he had come, and hardly made a sound.
After he left, Wen Yantong ate the cakes he brought in silence, then lay down on the floor he had laid by himself, and covered his body with a layer of robes.
Fortunately, in May, the cold air was completely gone, and Wen Yantong didn't feel cold even if he slept like this. After talking to Chi Jingxi, her mood gradually stabilized and she fell asleep with peace of mind.
In the past two days, he was disturbed by Mu Yang and suffered from lack of sleep. After being locked in the small dark room, he slept soundly.
Jiang Ling next door seemed to have woken up a long time ago. After he heard the movement next door, he said, "Wen Yantong? Wen Yantong, are you awake?"
Hearing Jiang Ling calling for his life from the next door early in the morning, Wen Yantong was a little impatient, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Jiang Ling said, "I'll ask someone to send you out, okay? Don't you have a good relationship with the young master and the others? Can you speak nice words for me? I really don't want to seek rebellion. I just want to live. Just keep me." One life, I promise I will never appear in Chaoge again!"
After Wen Yantong heard this, she suddenly felt Jiang Ling's strong desire to survive. She didn't take it seriously before, but now she has some feelings.
Jiang Ling changed from a high-ranking young master to the son of a criminal minister, fleeing everywhere, even pretending to be a prostitute in order to survive. Listeners will find it funny, but only Jiang Ling himself knows the sadness in it.
She sighed softly, went to sit down beside the hole dug out by Jiang Bing, and said, "Tell me, why do you want to live so much? Your Jiang family is dead, and you are the only one left. Is it interesting to live?" ?”
Jiang Ling suddenly fell silent at the other end, and after a pause, his sobbing voice sounded, "Do people need a reason to live?"
"Do you know what your Jiang family did?" Wen Yantong said.
Of course he knew, "So what? What can I do?"
Wen Yantong chuckled, "You were wronged, right?"
Jiang Ling gave a low hum, and when he mentioned these sad things, his mood suddenly became depressed, and he didn't seem to seriously answer Wen Yantong's words.
She continued, "Your father kept private soldiers, accepted bribes, formed cliques, and had the intention of treason. Your elder brother has bad conduct, and he is not jealous of men and women. He likes to play with young children the most, and his methods are cruel."
Jiang Ling was a little surprised, "You, why are you..."
"I also know that your father and your eldest brother are court officials, and there must be no stains on your body, so they will use you as a shield." Wen Yantong said, "Your father used a lot of money to buy weapons privately, and your elder brother is vicious. Obsessions are hard to change, so you have become a spendthrift, bad-natured and hard-to-teach dude, don’t you, Jiang Ling?”
"How do you know?" Jiang Ling was completely shocked by Wen Yantong's words, and tremblingly paw at the hole, "Tell me how you know!"
Wen Yantong didn't answer, but said, "You didn't do anything, so you naturally want to live."
Jiang Ling said, "No one knows about these things except my father and elder brother!"
As someone who has read the original book, she naturally knows Jiang Ling's unspeakable suffering, and originally did not plan to participate, but yesterday Chi Jingxi had something to tell her, and she had to complete it.
"You want to live, but as long as the Jiang family's private soldiers are still there, you won't be able to survive. What's more, they treat you as their master now, and now they have arrested me and Fu Zixian. At that time, you will be unable to escape."
What she said was the truth, and Jiang Ling could figure it out as soon as he heard it, his face turned pale with fright, and he said, "I, what should I do... I have already told them that I will not take over the Jiang family's private soldiers. They left on their own, but they didn't listen to me and locked me up."
As soon as Wen Yantong heard it, he knew that Jiang Ling had taken the bait, and a slight smile curved his lips, "I have a way to save your life."
