Kyushu · Endless Nagato

Chapter 82 Everyone in Kyushu is looking for you (6)
The boy sighed regretfully, and began to sort out a hiding place for An Xingmian in the car.An Xingmian looked at his nimble hands and feet, and couldn't help but ask, "You don't even ask me who I am and why I want to enter the palace?"

"What's none of my business?" The boy replied very simply, "Even if you want to kill my own father, I won't stop you, as long as you give me money."

An Xingmian thought in her heart, whoever tells me in the future that the Yu clan is a noble race, I will tear his mouth to pieces.

Sure enough, there were no twists and turns along the way, and the servant brought An Xingmian into the special kitchen of the post house.This place is separated from the imperial dining room, so as not to make the feathermen feel uncomfortable with the strong smell of meat, but also because of this, the guards here are very loose, allowing An Xingmian to get off the car and sneak in calmly, and find the A cook named Lang.

"What are you doing here?" Chef Lang's ruddy and fat face turned pale all of a sudden, and hurriedly dragged An Xingmian to the back kitchen, "I'm going to lose my head if people see it! Get out of here quickly!"

"Thank you for the information you sent me, Mr. Lang, but now I still need your help," An Xingmian said, "My friend will be executed at noon tomorrow, and I must rescue her."

"It's nothing to do with me, it's nothing to do with me!" Chef Lang waved his hands desperately, "I've already taken a big risk to get someone to pass on the message to you! You can't hurt me!"

"I won't harm you, and I won't use a knife to force you to save someone for me," An Xingmian put on a pleasant face, "I just want to ask you a few more questions. "

"Actually, I also want to help you. We are all human beings. Who wants to see their compatriots killed by Yuren?" Chef Lang sighed in a low voice, "But I really don't know where your friend is locked up. For ordinary guests, we can deliver food there, but for prisoners, I am only responsible for cooking, and the delivery of food is delivered by a special person from the palace, and the people in the kitchen cannot intervene. Or...you secretly followed the past during dinner?"

"No, it's useless for me to find her now. I can't save her by myself," An Xingmian tried to suppress his urge to see Xue Huaiqing immediately, "I need to find some other way. Let them postpone the date of the murder."

"What do you want to do?" Chef Lang was very surprised.

"My idea is..." An Xingmian was about to elaborate, when she suddenly heard a soft rustling sound from under the table beside her.Someone eavesdropped!He was startled, and immediately stepped over with a stride, and his attack was the most ruthless killing move.He usually has room to fight with people, but this time, he must kill with one blow, without any mistakes.

However, halfway through using the killer move, he had to stop abruptly. Due to the excessive force, he staggered and hit the corner of the table with his waist.This time the pain was so severe that he couldn't help but gasped, and then, holding back the pain, asked the person under the table through gritted teeth, "What are you doing hiding here?"

This "eavesdropper" hiding under the table turned out to be just a seven or eight-year-old child of the Yu clan.This kid is pretty and cute, but what is incredible is that the corner of his mouth is shiny, and he is holding a piece of bacon in his hand, which is usually only eaten by humans and will never be touched by Yuren.

"I'm just here to steal some meat," said the kid, "don't be so nervous."

With that said, he put the meat in his hand to his mouth and took another bite.Regardless of his tone of voice or movements, the child seemed to be exceptionally calm. An Xingmian was a little confused for a while, but Chef Lang had already screamed out of fuss, and then realized something was wrong, and quickly lowered his voice, but it still sounded very nervous .

"My God, you are...you are..." Chef Lang stammered, "You are the grandson of the lord! Last time the lord hosted a banquet for the guests of the Wanzhou Chamber of Commerce, I saw it when I served the dishes. you!"

"Yeah, as the only Yuren who eats meat at the human table, you should have a deep impression on me," the child chewed the meat, "The roasted whole camel you cooked that time was really great. But now, please go out and let me have a chat with this gentleman."

Chef Lang escaped as much as he wished, and An Xingmian was left in disbelief: "You are... the grandson of the lord? Aren't the nobles of your feathered families strictly forbidden to eat meat?"

"There are many rules, but there is always a way to escape." The child swallowed the bacon in his mouth. "When I become a lord, I must promote eating meat in the feathered society."

An Xingmian was startled again, and found that when the child said "When I become a lord", his tone was casual and natural, as if it was a certain fact.After thinking about it, he laughed: "I've heard that the nobles of Yuren are always cultivated with the concept of power from a very young age. Now I feel like you are the grandson of the lord."

"So I can help you, we each get what we need." The child ate up the meat in his hand, took out a silk scarf with satisfaction, and wiped his hands and mouth carefully.

"You help me? Everyone gets what they need?" An Xingmian thought she had heard wrong.

"I heard the conversation between the two of you just now," the child said, "Obviously, you are the long door monk named An Xingmian that Ningnan City has been guarding against for the past one or two months, and you risked sneaking into the palace, It's because that woman named Xue Huaiqing is about to be killed, and you must rescue her."

There was a slight chill in An Xingmian's heart.This child looks only seven or eight years old, but he speaks and talks like an adult, with sharp and clear thinking, concise and sophisticated speech, extraordinary, and he is destined to be an extraordinary person in the future.But for some reason, he still doesn't like the kind of children who are too mature, and always thinks that children should be innocent.But right now, if the lord's grandson can really help him rescue Xue Huaiqing, even if it is a thousand-year-old monster, he will not hesitate to jump into the fire pit.

"Yes, I will save her at all costs, but what good will this do for you?" An Xingmian asked.

"The person in charge of interrogating Xue Huaiqing now is Feng Yufan, the deputy commander of the Huyi Division. His father was the former Ningnan City Guard Feng Qingzhuo—although he is no longer in office, the power behind him is still not small. In the future lord selection In fact, both the father and son support the second prince, who is my second uncle. My father is the fourth eldest." The child seemed to be not answering the question, but An Xingmian understood it when he heard it.

"I understand. You want to make Feng Yufan lose face severely, and even be punished and demoted, so as to weaken the support of the second prince and increase your father's chances of becoming the lord. Is that right?" An Xingmian asked.

"It's not just as simple as losing face," said the child. "As far as I know, Feng Yufan wants to find Xue Huaiqing's parents, not just to find out the cause of death of the previous lord. Or, he doesn't care about the cause of death at all. The purpose is also to find something."

"What?" An Xingmian was not too surprised, but this partly confirmed his guess.Before that, he had always had the same doubts as Xue Huaiqing, that is why it was necessary to pursue a murderer who was 20 years ago so mobilizing people like facing an enemy.

"It's inconvenient to tell you right now," the child shook his head, "but don't worry, we don't want to get that thing, because we can't be sure whether it brings good or bad. So the best result is that no one can get it it."

Another "I can't tell you", An Xingmian thought sullenly.I can't tell me everything about Sa Xijialuo, and I still can't tell me everything about Xue Huaiqing, I'm just like a headless chicken, running around.But he didn't show this on the surface, he just nodded lightly: "That's the best."

"That's really the best," the child smiled, "Knowing nothing is the greatest security and the peace that people most desire. Don't you want to quickly solve everything in front of you, and all troubles will be far away from you? "

An Xingmian nodded subconsciously, deeply agreeing with the words in his heart, but then, he was startled, and found that he was thinking following the child's hint intentionally or unintentionally.It's too scary, he thought, now I really suspect that this is an immortal thousand-year-old monster, at such a young age, he has already learned to play tricks and confuse people.But right now, only he can help me, I have no choice.

"How are you going to help me?" An Xingmian asked, "I have an idea..."

"I know, kidnap me, and then threaten them to release me," the child said, "I have roughly guessed it from your conversation just now. This is the only feasible way now."

"This is indeed what I thought before," An Xingmian said, "I didn't expect to be so lucky to meet a prince and grandson. At first, I just thought about kidnapping a lord's favorite concubine or something... But, you shouldn't Will it happen to be the grandson that the lord hates?"

"I forgot to introduce myself," the child patted his head, "Feng Yiming, the son of the fourth prince, the lord's sixth grandson, and his favorite grandson. Because of me, he also likes me more and more father."

"It's completely obvious," An Xingmian murmured, "With your mind, you can make anyone in Kyushu fall in love with you."

"I really forgot if you didn't mention this sentence," Feng Yiming said, "I am willing to help you, not just to beat Feng Yufan, but also for another reason - I want to make someone like you I."

"who?"

"Guess what. Just to remind you, I am very familiar with your materials."

So An Xingmian began to guess.Among the people I know, who would interest Feng Yiming so much?His sworn brother Bai Qianyun?Heluo friends in the dungeon?Luo Xue, the head monk who was once a top killer?The powerful and ambitious Mr. Yuwen?still is……

With a jerk, he guessed the answer.The little child Feng Yiming in front of him can be called the number two monster he has seen in his life, so the one that interests him most likely has to be the number one monster.

"You want to get to know Xu Mizi, don't you?" An Xingmian asked.

"It's not just getting acquainted, because a person like Xu Mizi will never be driven by others, and he will never make friends with irrelevant people." Feng Yiming shook his finger, "So I want to worship him division."

"Adore him as a teacher?" An Xingmian was taken aback, "But...but...you..."

An Xingmian, who has always been good at talking, couldn't find the right words for a while, but Feng Yiming had already continued for him: "I know what you want to say. I don't look like a seven-year-old child at all, even more than 70 years old. A year-old is still mature. I am shrewd and sophisticated, hypocritical and tactful, a manipulator, full of viciousness, and there must be viciousness and cruelty that you can't see for the time being—maybe no less vicious and cruel than Xu Mizi's viciousness and cruelty."

"You sum it up better than me." An Xingmian sighed.

"Because of this, you think Xu Mizi will not like me, and you will not accept me as an apprentice," Feng Yiming said, "Then I can only draw this conclusion: Although you have some relationship with Xu Mizi, But you don't know him at all."

An Xingmian frowned slightly, and suddenly understood the meaning of the other party: "You are right. To inherit the mantle of Xu Mizi, one must be as vicious as him, as shrewd as cunning, as cruel as him. If you don’t have such qualities, no matter how talented you are, he won’t look down on him. With Sumeru’s conceit, he won’t worry that you will betray him and plot against him in the future—he might be disappointed if you don’t.”

He thought for a while, and added: "You have never met Sumeru, but you can guess his character so accurately, he will definitely take you as his apprentice impatiently."

"He will." Feng Yiming smiled confidently.
