Chapter 25 Asking for help
The case of Lin's mansion is handled by the government. Ming Xiu and Mingyue stayed for a while before going back. This time, even Ming Xiu felt the butcher knife hanging above his head, and he didn't know when it would fall.
The clouds that had been brewing for three months seemed to be finally about to begin.
Ming Xiu locked himself in the room when he got home, and had not yet walked out of the shadow of his daughter's death. Now his good friends who have been in trouble for decades have suffered, which has made Ming Xiu unable to bear the ups and downs for decades.
What made Ming Xiu even more uneasy was that the Lin family and the Ming family were both the four major families of Xiantai Prefecture, and their strength was not worse than that of the Ming family. Although Zhao Gang was called the number one master of Xiantai Prefecture, Zhao Gang once said that if you want to beat Fang Yue, you must at least have a hundred tricks to get out of it.
After Mingyue returned home, she locked herself in the room. Even though her martial arts skills are far beyond Zhao Gang, even if she has 320 points of combat power, even if the second level of Qingmujin has reached a small success.
But Mingyue knew that if the murderer who slaughtered Lin's mansion faced the butcher's knife against the Ming mansion, he would never be able to protect the Ming family. Outside, there were four major gangs blocking the Xiantai mansion, and inside, there were terrifying evil demons constantly creating killings. Mingyue kept wandering in the room and couldn't calm down.
There was a constant question in my mind asking myself, "What should I do if... if the murderer's next target is Mingfu?"
Just as Mingyue was anxious and wanted to rush out of the room and vent her wildly, a beautiful face suddenly appeared in her mind. The woman who had been entrenched in her heart as a soulmate for three years, making Mingyue admire her but could not have any insignificant thoughts.
He tried to open the door several times but stopped again. After hesitating for a long time, Mingyue finally gritted her teeth and left the door.
"Master, do you still want to go out when it's dark?" As he walked out of the door, the servant on duty hurried over and asked.
"I have something to go out, but my father asked... and said I'll come back soon after going out. Also, you can go to Commander Zhao immediately and ask him to arrange a day and night patrol from tonight."
"Okay..." The servant agreed respectfully. As for the safety of Mingyue going out alone now, no servants in Mingfu were worried about it.
After seeing Mingyue kill the deputy leader of the Qingzhu Gang with one sword, Mingyue became the spiritual pillar of the entire Ming Mansion. The belief circulating among the servants became Mingyue invincible, and the eldest young master could protect the Ming family's words.
When they left the house, they walked directly to the Qinyin Chess Club. If they were other brothels, darkness was the beginning of their business. But the Qinyin Chess Club welcomed the opposite. Before darkness, the Qinyin Chess Club would definitely close down.
The Qinyin Chess Club is a brothel, but not a brothel. Girls can play the piano and dance with guests, play chess and chat, but they just don’t leave the guests to sleep overnight.
But Mingyue came to the Qinyin Chess Club after dark and broke into the side door directly. When Mingyue's figure just stepped into the backyard, Qiaoqiao seemed to have seen Mingyue and greeted her like she had seen Mingyue.
"Mr. Ming... Why are you here at this time today?"
"It's a little late... If it's inconvenient... I'll come again tomorrow?" Mingyue said a little embarrassedly. He and Miaoyin have always had such a tacit understanding. It is precisely because the tacit understanding is over, that the friendship between the two can last for such a long time.
The bright moon always leaves before the sun sets, let alone comes after dark.
"Where is it, Mr. Ming who is not an ordinary person? The lady said that Mr. Ming can come at any time." Qiaoqiao's smile on her face became even sweeter, as if it was already a joy to see the moon in this life.
"What is Miaoyin doing?"
"Miss has just finished her meal and is bathing. I'll take the young master to the living room to wait?" As he said that, Qiaoqiao led Mingyue Miaomiao to the stairs of the attic.
In the past, Mingyue went straight to the boudoir when she looked for Miaoyin, and rarely waited in the living room. Qiaoqiao arranged for the servant to serve Mingyue and left. Mingyue was idle and looked at the furnishings in the living room.
Compared with the elegant and generous living rooms of other families, Miaoyin's living room is more like an extension of the boudoir. The three walls are hung with famous calligraphy and paintings. The elegant seats are as exquisite as furniture exhibitions. The bead curtains separate the screen. Apart from the unique daughter's fragrance, it is no different from Miaoyin's boudoir.
Mingyue didn't know if women took a long bath, but Mingyue knew that she had drunk seven or eight glasses of water but she had not seen Miss Miaoyin appear for a long time.
Although women may be sluggish in taking a bath, they never thought it would be sluggish in an hour. Mingyue even suspected that Miaoyin did not want to see her, so she deliberately couldn't hide.
As the moon gradually lost its patience, a tiny sound of footsteps came. When the moon was celebrating the New Year, she saw a beautiful figure slowly pushing the bead curtain and walking slowly.
Just a glance, the world was amazed. Miaoyin, who had just finished taking a shower, seemed to have hazy water vapor on her body, her pretty face was like a flower, and her pink was like a peach. The light tulle gauze seemed to be able to see the snow-white skin inside through her clothes.
His hair was a little wet, and he did not tie the bun but was casually spread behind his head. A little vermilion on his eyebrows set off a hint of dust. At this moment, Mingyue was still obsessed with her for two lifetimes.
Looking at Mingyue's straight eyes, a red cloud once again rose on Miaoyin's cheeks. Qiaoqiao, who was following Miaoyin, burst out laughing.
"Mr. Ming, is my lady's bathing photo so charming to the core?"
This sound awakened Mingyue, and a few dry coughs relieved the embarrassment. "Miss Miaoyin is the number one beauty in Xiantai, not to mention the lotus water coming out of the water at this moment? Mingyue is not a monk who has attained enlightenment, nor is it not unfaithful to be charmed. It is really helpless to be amazed by Miss Miaoyin's beauty..."
"In the world, you are the only one who can tell the lustful nature and beauty of men so fresh and refined! Mingyue, why did you come in the dark night in an abnormal manner? Is there anything wrong?"
After hearing the words of Miss Miaoyin, Mingyue also put away the expression on her face, stood up slowly with a serious look on her face, slowly came to Miaoyin's face, and slowly bowed down in Miaoyin's stunned eyes.
"Miaoyin, I, Mingyue, have been proud all my life and never ask for help, but today I am here to ask you..."
Looking at Mingyue’s actions, Miaoyin’s face suddenly changed. She hurriedly stepped forward and hugged Mingyue and helped him up. Miaoyin’s clothes were as thin as if they were not worn. Holding Mingyue was even more like her skin.
Miaoyin helped Mingyue up, and her face became extremely solemn, "Mingyue, you and I are close friends. If you need help, why should you be polite to me? Just say it..."
Mingyue stood up and took a step back nervously. Miaoyin also realized what was strange before, and her face turned red in an instant.
"Miaoyin, my sister was in funeral today, but another big event happened in Xiantai Mansion! " Mingyue put away the beauty in her heart and said with a serious look.
"Are you saying that the Lin family is in trouble?" Miaoyin's face changed inadvertently, and there were lights flashing in her eyes. Miaoyin could not have known about such a big thing in the Lin family. Moreover, the current Xiantai Mansion has reached the point where everyone is in danger.
"The Lin family has an accident. I really don't know if the next one will be the Ming family. I know you are definitely not an ordinary person. Although you don't admit it, everyone has their own secrets. I don't ask you to tell me what happened in the Xiantai Mansion, but I just ask... I just ask you to save the Ming Mansion..."
"Miaoyin is just a weak woman... how can she save Mingfu..." Miaoyin's voice trembled a little, and she silently lowered her eyelids and did not dare to look at Mingyue's eyes.
"Is that right?" Mingyue's eyes suddenly became dim when she heard Miaoyin's answer. After looking at Miaoyin for a long time, she suddenly had a smile on her face, she sighed a long time, and came to the window silently.
After a long time, as if he had made a decision in his heart, he turned around and bowed respectfully to Miaoyin, "Miss Miaoyin, don't make things difficult for Miss Miaoyin, just pretend that Mingyue has never said this... The night is already deep, Mingyue has said goodbye!"
Mingyue had just taken three steps, but Miaoyin suddenly called Mingyue, "Mingyue, you and I have known each other for three years... In the past three years, we have been in harmony with each other, but now I feel that you still have no complaints about me in your heart. Mingyue, is your state of mind really so uneasy?"
"It's not that the moon is open-minded, but I know that you must have a reason for your failure to say this. Maybe as you said, you are just a weak woman. Even in this cloud, you can't be safe, right?
I am grateful for your saving my life last night. I shouldn’t have made you reluctant to do so anymore.” Mingyue pretended to be free and easy, as if she was a mountain hermit who saw through the world!
Mingyue thinks that she has good acting skills, so it is helpless to use this to retreat to advance.
Looking at Mingyue's indifferent smile, Mingyue's smiles appeared in his mind in an instant. The kind of demeanor that seemed to have seen through the world and be outside the world was as if he was born.
Miaoyin has never understood why a young man from a wealthy family can be so transcendent, not happy with things or sad with himself, just like a bystander watching the world rolling.
Everyone has their own secret, and Mingyue’s biggest secret is the time traveler. He was not originally a person in the world, and it is naturally easy to transcend the world.
At that moment, Miaoyin's cheeks turned slightly red, and a trace of guilt surged in her heart.
"How did you know?" After a long time, Miaoyin's mood seemed a little confused.
"A little cinnabar between your eyebrows!" Mingyue smiled faintly, "When I saw you, there was a little cinnabar between you and Qiaoqiao's eyebrows. It was very beautiful and very suitable for you.
Originally, I thought this was just something you applied on, just like rouge and water powder. But the day before yesterday, the disciples of Jingxuan Sect settled in my house, but I found that except for my elder sister, the other disciples had a little cinnabar between their eyebrows.
Now, you have just finished taking a shower and there is no makeup on your face. However, the cinnabar between your eyebrows is even more gorgeous and bright red. So I think... this cinnabar should not be what you clicked on, but the logo of a person who is cultivating immortals, right?"
Miaoyin gently stroked the eyebrows, and a faint smile appeared on her face. With the wiping, the cinnabar between her eyebrows became lighter and lighter and disappeared quickly.
Mingyue touched her nose awkwardly, shook her head with a wry smile, "Forget it, I'm just being smart..."
"Okay, I think you are really restless and exhausted recently, and your face is so ugly! I have a prescription here to relieve fatigue, concentrate your mind and calm your energy, clear heat and detoxify. You can take it back.
Don’t think so much. Some things cannot be solved by your anxiety. Fortunately, the person you are most worried about has left.
Why don’t you learn from those outside, even though you know you have today or tomorrow, you can still drink and have fun."
