Chapter 5: The Secret of Surprise

Wanzhen, the hostess in Linhuju, was shocked when she saw her father coming back with a heavy expression.

When Yang Jian went out, he was still full of energy and confidence. Unexpectedly, he turned into a distraught and dazed look in a blink of an eye.

My father...

Wanzhen was about to ask questions, but Yang Jian had waved his hand and walked into his room heavily. Then he closed the door tightly and didn't even come out for dinner.

Although she was very worried, Wanzhen, who had always been gentle and quiet, still did not knock on Yang Jian's door. She just asked the waiter in the store to handle the store quickly and quickly. She vaguely made a premonition in her heart that something would happen today.

Wanzhen's premonition was not wrong at all. When night fell, Yang Jian, who had a heavy expression, appeared again in front of her.

Close the door early today, I have something to tell you

Yang Jian, who was standing in front of Wanzhen, looked very complicated, and his somewhat dull face looked so haggard, which made Wanzhen feel his heart thumping.

Linhuju closed its doors early for the first time, which surprised the old customers. But to be honest, since Ye Tianlong made the big news, many people have vaguely felt that this Linhuju would change.

Maybe they will never have the chance to taste the delicious food here again

Several waiters sorted out the affairs of the store, closed the store door and left.

Under the dim light, Yang Jian and Wanzhen sat opposite each other

Wanzhen waited anxiously for her father to speak. Yang Jian's appearance that had never appeared before made her feel that what Yang Jian was going to say must be extraordinary.

After a long time, Yang Jian still didn't speak. His face flickered and his painful expression clearly showed his deepest struggle and hesitation at this moment.

A heavy feeling was shrouded in the room. Wanzhen seemed to be able to feel the air pressing on her body. The uneasiness and doubts in her heart were constantly expanding. She even began to be afraid of Qi Yang Jian's opening.

The sound of wave! sounded so loud in the silent room, which scared the two people who were trapped in their own thoughts.

It's the jumping sound of the lamp

Yang Jian raised his head, and the dim light shone on his slightly haggard face, making a feeling of indescribableness, helplessness, sadness, or unbearableness, Wanzhen didn't know.

You are not my biological daughter!

Finally, Yang Jian gritted his teeth and made up his mind to reveal this secret that had been hidden for many years.

At this moment, a crystal light flashed in his eyes.

What?……

Wanzhen suddenly raised her head, her bright eyes suddenly opened very wide. She was shocked by this sudden secret and her mind was blank. She just shouted in panic: No, no! I...

Since she had already said it, Yang Jian had no hesitation anymore. He said in a very affirmative tone: You are actually the little princess of the homeland of Tianhe. On the day the country was destroyed, I was entrusted by the former king to bring His Highness out of Tianhe City.

Now that his identity has been revealed, Yang Jian began to respect Wanzhen as a minister. He continued respectfully: The jade plaque worn by His Highness since childhood is the treasure of Tianhe Kingdom - Xueyu

Wanzhen just shook her head. The unimaginable truth of her life deeply shocked her heart, which made her almost unable to think about it for a while. Her psychology really couldn't accept such facts. She had enjoyed a quiet life for so many years. The ordinary and simple days made her feel warm. She had fallen in love with this simple and happy life.

But at this moment, everything turned out to be just a temporary illusion

The life she deliberately avoided came to her ruthlessly. Her prominent identity and noble bloodline were just increasing the pressure of life for her.

It is precisely because of this reason that Wanzhen rejected Qingji and Ye Tianlong. She just wanted to be an ordinary person and live a quiet life, but the facts made a big joke with her. No matter how she refused to accept this identity, the existence of bloodline is an indisputable fact. She felt her heart was bleeding, and endless panic and sadness spread in her heart. But since it was already an unavoidable fact, her denial was just a temporary resistance, and she gradually became weak.

As Yang Jian told the secrets hidden in his heart one by one, Wanzhen's face became pale and she finally lowered her head weakly. Two lines of clear tears slid across her cheeks silently and fell on her clothes.

Seeing Wanzhen's appearance, Yang Jian slowly stopped talking, just looking at her

In the slightly swaying light, Wanzhen's delicate body seemed so weak and weak, leaning slanted against the table, as if she didn't even have the strength to sit.

A pair of small hands grabbed the hem of the clothes, clenched their fists unconsciously, and even a few green veins could be seen on the back of the white hands.

After a while, Wanzhen slowly raised her head and asked softly: Why do you want to tell me this at this time? Why didn’t you tell me before?

The confused tone of Wanzhen when she spoke made Yang Jian feel sad. He didn't know whether he was right or wrong in doing this, but now he has reached this point, so he can only continue to be cruel.

Because this time it was to save Your Highness’s brother, His Highness Yisi! Yang Jian’s heavy tone made Wanzhen hit again

My brother, I have another brother? Wanzhen asked anxiously: Where is he?

In any case, hearing news about your loved ones is always worrying

Yes, the young man who often came here a few days ago was His Highness Yisi. Yang Jian looked at Wanzhen with a nervous expression and explained the ins and outs of Yisi.

It turned out to be him... Wanzhen lowered her head and murmured to herself, no wonder I always feel so familiar when I look at him?

Yang Jian also sighed and said: This is the siblings of brothers and sisters, because everyone has the same blood.

My...brother...is he really arrested by Lord Ye of the East? Wanzhen said that he always felt a little weird when he talked about his brother for the first time, so he couldn't help but pause before he could continue to speak.

Yang Jian replied affirmatively: It is the person from the Eastern Governor's Office, I can see it very clearly!

After a pause, he said: They also showed their identities when they were arresting.

Speaking of this, he sighed with lingering fear: I really didn't expect that the girl who has been here here a few times would be the leader of the Guards regiment. Seeing her beautiful and beautiful appearance, her martial arts are so terrifying...

Wanzhen thought for a while and said hesitantly: Is it the girl named Long Ling'er?

Yang Jian nodded and replied: Yes, it's her! Seeing that her claw is enough to penetrate metal into iron, I really don't know how to practice such a small hand?

Then how do I save my brother? Wanzhen was silent for a moment, looked at Yang Jian's eyes and said, "I don't know any martial arts at all."

Yang Jian was silent, his eyes wandering to the left and right, as if he couldn't stand Wanzhen's gaze

After a while, hesitantly said: I see that the governor of the East has a great affection for His Highness...

Wanzhen's eyes suddenly widened and she said anxiously: Do you want me to ask Lord Ye? Such a big thing, even if I, a little girl, can't help it?

Yang Jian said slowly: I have thought about it, Your Highness will go to the Eastern Governor's Office to plead for mercy. If Ye Tianlong refuses, then...

Then what should I do? Wanzhen couldn't help asking when she saw Yang Jian was hesitant.

Yang Jian did not answer directly, but looked at the lamp on the table and whispered: Your Highness brings a knife, and I pretended to be your Highness's entourage and followed in and couldn't help asking for it. Then I had to use it. The former king had only a little blood left. Even if I was crushed to pieces, I would save Your Highness Is.

Wanzhen shivered, she sat blankly for a long time, stood up and said weakly: Let me think about it again...think about it...

As she said that, she slowly walked towards her room, the lights pulled her shadow longer and longer, and finally disappeared at the corner.

Yang Jian sat there silently, his eyes a little dull. He didn't know what kind of results he would have with his thoughts and actions, and what changes would bring to Wanzhen, but this was the only way he could save Isi.

Seeing Long Ling'er's skills and the strength of the East Governor Guards, Yang Jian understood that his own strength alone could not compete with him. Even if there were a few more of him, and the barbarian fighter with his recovery ability might not be able to rescue Yisi from the East Governor's Office.

※※※

Early the next morning, before Linhuju opened the door, Wanzhen's door opened. She slowly walked out of her room with a pale face. A few red lines appeared in her originally clear and bright eyes, but her firm eyes and calm footsteps invisibly revealed the belief in Wanzhen's heart at this moment.

Seeing that Yang Jian was still sitting next to the table and didn't even move his seat, Wanzhen knew that he hadn't slept all night

Hearing Wanzhen's footsteps, Yang Jian suddenly raised his head, and his slightly haggard eyes burst into his inquiring eyes, worried, expectant, and apologized...

My father...

As soon as Wanzhen opened her mouth, Yang Jian waved his hand and said: Your Highness, please stop calling me like this again.

Please let me call again! A layer of water vapor appeared in Wanzhen's eyes. My father, thank you for your care over the years!

Yang Jian was shocked in his heart. He stood up suddenly and said in panic: Your Highness, this is...

I decided, let me save my brother!

Wanzhen's tone was very firm and powerful. In any case, since she was a descendant of Tianhe, she had to take this responsibility and I should do something for my identity!

Since it is something that cannot be escaped, I have to face it

No matter what, we must do our best to Tianhe. It is not only because of the inexplicable family affection, but more importantly, Yang Jian’s grace for raising him for so many years. Perhaps the parties involved have made up their minds with such beliefs.

Then prepare, let's go together. Yang Jian was in a mixture of sadness and joy, and replied in a hurry.

I can just go alone, it can be regarded as repaying my father’s years of kindness!

Yang Jian suddenly knelt at Wanzhen's feet and said in a trembling voice: Your Highness...

Wanzhen quickly helped him up and said with tears in her eyes: If I didn't succeed in going, you can think of another way, my father.

Your Highness, don’t call me like this anymore, I really can’t afford to take responsibility! Yang Jian smiled bitterly, I’m sorry, for His Highness Is, I might be too selfish and I know how difficult it is to do this. If I don’t let my subordinates follow me, I will never feel at ease!

※※※

After hearing the report from the guards, Ye Tianlong was stunned for a moment. Wanzhen would actually come to him on his own initiative?

Since Princess Qian made such a big news for him that time, Ye Tianlong has not gone to Linhuju again. One reason is that he was afraid of making Wanzhen angry, so he was very unbeautiful. Two reason is that he was very busy during this period and was caught by the king for training in his spare time.

Ye Tianlong didn't know why the King's interest in teaching him was greater than that of Feng Wu, a proud disciple. However, the previous few practical battles showed that he did get a lot of benefits from the King's master, so he was naturally willing to be called around by the King's master and study happily.

After the guidance of Master Wang during this period, Ye Tianlong truly understood the true meaning of martial arts he learned from Fengyue Zhenjun. He seemed to be a big child who suddenly got a favorite toy and was so happy.

Yang Jian lowered his head and followed Wanzhen step by step by step by step by step. He was very nervous, afraid that someone would see the flaws.

He now looks like his family's outfit. His deepened complexion matches his thick blue cloth's companionship. He looks like an inconspicuous ordinary person.

Hearing Wanzhen greeted the goddess warrior very naturally, Yang Jian couldn't help but be surprised that this weak woman with no power in her hands actually had such courage, and even he was ashamed of herself.

Yang Jian knew that the terrible strength of these women in the East Governor's Office was several times stronger than him.

While thinking, he walked up the steps. As soon as he reached the entrance of the hall, two goddess warriors guarding the door reached out and stopped Yang Jian.

Because he is now unable to enter the lobby of the East Governor's Office, Yang Jian suddenly realized at this time and couldn't help but regret that he had backfired. Why did he pretend to be a servant?

Wanzhen gave Yang Jian a deep look, and then asked him to stay outside, and walked in slowly with firm steps alone.

Ye Tianlong had already stood in the hall with a smile and greeted him

It is rare to see Miss Wanzhen’s arrival, please sit down quickly!

Ye Tianlong personally guided Wanzhen to sit in the guest seat, and someone presented her with incense tea.

I wonder what Miss Wanzhen has to teach you?

After the polite words, Ye Tianlong immediately got to the point

Because of the last incident, he had to talk to Wanzhen in a very serious tone to avoid an awkward atmosphere between them.

Wanzhen looked at Yuzhu and Xin Xiya who were standing behind Ye Tianlong. The look of wanting to speak was obvious.

Ye Tianlong couldn't help but smile and said: It doesn't matter, they are like me, there is nothing I don't want them to know about.

Wanzhen's face turned slightly red, she picked up the teacup and took a sip

Seeing Wanzhen like this, Yuzhu smiled knowingly in her heart. She leaned over and whispered in Ye Tianlong's ear: Young Master, let's go out first. It seems that Sister Wanzhen seems to be a little shy. Maybe something is a good thing?

Yuzhu's words made Ye Tianlong's heart twitch suddenly. His eyes lit up. He looked at Wanzhen in a head, and then nodded.

After Yuzhu and Cinthia disappeared at the door, Wanzhen raised her head and looked at Ye Tianlong and said slowly: Lord Ye, I am here to plead with you!

Pray? Ye Tianlong looked at Wanzhen with surprise

Yes! Wanzhen replied quickly, Lord Ye, did you catch a young man in Xing'anfang yesterday?

Ye Tianlong said oh, and looked at Wanzhen with interest and said: Your news is really well-informed! Does that person have anything to do with you?

Wanzhen thought for a moment and said: It's a friend of mine

Is it just an ordinary friend? He is involved in a big crime! Ye Tianlong looked at Wanzhen's pale face with a smile

Wanzhen blushed and said hesitantly: He is my best friend. As soon as she said that, she felt a little regretful. Sure enough, Ye Tianlong's reaction became even stronger.

Humph, Ye Tianlong's face changed. That was definitely my enemy. I must behead him!

Wanzhen was very anxious and said quickly: No, no!

Seeing Wanzhen's anxious look, Ye Tianlong became even more angry, which clearly means that the relationship between that guy and Wanzhen is extraordinary.

He said ruthlessly: That guy is the chief criminal who assassinated the important officials of the Empire. He was already guilty and now he is still going to fight for women with me. I will never give up until I cut him into seven or eight pieces!

Wanzhen's face turned redder. This man was really rough. He actually expressed his feelings so directly. Although she was mentally prepared, her thin skin still responded faithfully.

Just as she was about to say something else, she saw Yuzhu flashing in quickly and whispering for a while beside Ye Tianlong.

Ye Tianlong's expression changed, and he glanced at the inexplicable Wanzhen. The mysterious gaze in his eyes made Wanzhen shocked him and began to feel uneasy. An ominous premonition immediately arose in her heart.

Ye Tianlong suddenly stood up, patted Yuzhu's shoulders, stopped her inquiring gaze with his eyes, and then said to Wanzhen: Come with me!

Wanzhen followed Ye Tianlong into a secret room behind her anxiously. She noticed that Yuzhu and Xinxiya were guarding the door, and the two of them exuded a momentum that made her very scared, changing the gentleness she had before.

After Ye Tianlong closed the door, he asked in a deep voice: Who is the servant you just brought?

Wanzhen's delicate body shook, she stared at Ye Tianlong blankly, and asked blankly: What's going on?

Ye Tianlong Hey! He said, walked to Wanzhen, stared at her eyes, and said: There was a hidden weapon on him, and he wanted to make a mistake. Unfortunately, my people discovered it. Yang Jian was also unlucky. There would be no accident, but unfortunately, Long Ling'er happened to pass by him. After hearing the conversation between the guards, he suddenly became a little interested in him. This is also because Wanzhen is too famous. Long Ling'er will naturally be curious about this wonderful cooking skill, which made Ye Tianlong chase after him for a long time.

In this way, Yang Jian, who was fully focused on Wanzhen's operation, just didn't ask for advice.

No! Wanzhen screamed in horror. Yang Jian would be exposed. Although she had imagined many things, she could not bear it when she really came to such a point.

Her face was gone, and her feet seemed to be unable to support a delicate body anymore

Ye Tianlong took the opportunity to embrace Wanzhen's crumbling body into his arms, and smelling the fragrance of the girl Aijie made him happy.

A strange color flashed in Wanzhen's eyes, and her little hands touched the cold existence in her arms.

But before he could do anything, Ye Tianlong's big hand had already penetrated into her heart, gently but powerfully snatched the short knife in her hand over.

Ye Tianlong held the short knife in front of him. The crystal clear short knife was very gorgeous. The handle wrapped in golden silk, the head of the cloud was a whole piece of purple agate, and the five-inch knife had fine carved patterns, which was the pattern of the dragon playing with beads.

The entire blade emitted a cold aura, and the cold murderous intent emerged.

The man who teaches you how to do this is definitely damn! Ye Tianlong suddenly felt a sense of real anger in his heart

How can a delicate woman like you do these things? Even if you pull out this knife, it will not work at all. Do you really think it can hurt a real master of martial arts?

The tears in Wanzhen's eyes finally couldn't help but stay. Thinking of her life experience and situation, she no longer had the strength, and her whole body fell softly in Ye Tianlong's arms. The face of pear blossoms with rain made Ye Tianlong secretly feel distressed.

Bingxue's smart Wanzhen has long understood the connotation of Yang Jian's proposal. It is almost impossible to rely on her, a weak woman, to coerce Ye Tianlong, a man with superb martial arts skills.

Her function is just to attract Ye Tianlong's attention and facilitate Yang Jian's own actions. However, he did not expect that he would not have the opportunity to approach Ye Tianlong at all.

Of course, Yang Jian may have another plan, which is to exchange Wanzhen for Yisi's safety. This is what Wanzhen thought of later, and it is also the only feasible way she came up with after realizing the responsibility of her identity.

But when she thought of Yang Jian's nurturing for many years, she had to sacrifice herself for the sake of righteousness, the feeling of heartache made her feel sad. After all, a day ago, she was just an ordinary weak woman, Ah!

Although Ye Tianlong didn't understand why Wanzhen did this and why she was so sad, his always pity for the jade began to get angry again

He held Wanzhen's delicate body in his arms with one hand, gently wiped away the tears from her face with the other hand, and said softly: Don't cry, I will never hurt you!

Seeing her, there was no sign of stopping. Ye Tianlong could only comfort her, and at the same time he took this opportunity to take advantage of her brothers and sisters.

After a while, seeing Wanzhen still sobbing, Ye Tianlong leaned into her little ear and said: Oh, if you continue crying, my clothes will be completely wet!

When Wan Zhen heard this, she raised her head with a little embarrassed expression and left Ye Tianlong's arms. Ye Tianlong hurriedly said: Seeing you crying like a big flowery face, you will be much ugly!

Wanzhen couldn't help but interrogate: I was just a bad-looking woman!

When she was talking, her mood began to calm down, and she felt very strange. She actually felt an inexplicable relaxation and peace of mind when she was with this man, which she had never felt before.
