Chapter 245 Young Man on a White Horse Drunk in the Spring Breeze 19
The bright moon hangs in the sky, and a cool breeze blows.
After bringing Ye Dingzhi to the study, Xiao Ruofeng stayed outside to keep watch.
He did this for two reasons: first, so that he could intervene in time if the two people in the study got into a conflict; and second, to prevent Ye Dingzhi's whereabouts from being revealed.
After all, the Ye family has not yet been exonerated, and Ye Dingzhi is still a wanted criminal in Beili. If news of his presence at the Jingyu Prince's Mansion gets out, it will inevitably cause a series of troubles.
Sure enough, a moment later, he heard Ye Dingzhi's angry voice coming from the study, followed by a loud "boom," which made Xiao Ruofeng's heart jump into his throat.
Just as he was about to rush in, the sudden surge of internal energy in the study quickly subsided.
He carefully sensed the atmosphere in the study and found that it seemed to have eased up. The two people were talking in low voices. Although he couldn't hear what they were saying, he could at least be sure that they hadn't actually started fighting.
Since the two didn't make a move, Xiao Ruofeng felt much more at ease.
Although he was curious about what his elder brother and Ye Dingzhi would say, he restrained his curiosity and did not use his internal energy to forcibly eavesdrop on their conversation.
A gentleman is like jade; his actions should be graceful and refined.
How could a gentleman do something as dishonorable as eavesdropping?
Besides, if his elder brother wanted him to know, he would naturally tell him on his own initiative.
After a long while, the study door opened again, and Ye Dingzhi walked out with a bitter face and a limp.
Seeing Ye Dingzhi's appearance, Xiao Ruofeng's eyebrows twitched. So, the internal energy fluctuation just now was because his brother had hit Ye Dingzhi?
So, the two of them couldn't reach an agreement?
Xiao Ruofeng quickly stepped forward and asked, "How did the talks go?"
Ye Dingzhi glared at Xiao Ruofeng. He had trusted the man in front of him so much, but the two brothers, one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, had dug such a big pit for him.
Just now, all he could think about was whether the "mistress" was Wenjun. In a moment of passion, he actually agreed to Jingyu Wang's request to deal with Tianwaitian.
The Outer Heavens! That's the Outer Heavens!
A cold wind swept through the courtyard, and his sweat-soaked clothes clung to his body, making him shiver, but also clearing his mind a bit.
Was he stupid just now?
Before coming here, didn't you plan to have a good talk with King Jingyu and bravely fight for your own interests?
How could I have agreed to deal with Tianwaitian so easily?
How could the Outer Heavens be so easily eliminated?
Ye Dingzhi was dejected for a moment.
"Why are you glaring at me?" Xiao Ruofeng was puzzled. Regardless of whether Ye Dingzhi succeeded in the deal or not, why did he suddenly get angry at him?
Ye Dingzhi looked at him for a while, then gave a wry smile. Thinking it over carefully, he realized he couldn't really blame Xiao Ruofeng for his own problems.
Although he had little contact with King Jingyu, he had a general understanding of King Jingyu's character.
After King Jingyu conceived the idea of recruiting him, if he did not submit, he would likely face certain death. Moreover, regardless of whether he died, he would probably implicate Wenjun as well.
Xiao Ruofeng's previous persuasion was simply to save his life, and it wasn't wrong.
However, he was still somewhat unhappy. He dared not make any moves against Jingyu Wang now, but he could still bully his younger brother, right?
Thinking of this, Ye Dingzhi suddenly did something very childish. He pushed away Xiao Ruofeng's hand that was trying to help him, went around behind Xiao Ruofeng, and jumped onto his back with a "whoosh": "Your brother crippled my leg, so you have to take responsibility for carrying me back."
Xiao Ruofeng: ...
"Ye Dingzhi, how could you act like a scoundrel?" Xiao Ruofeng was almost laughing in anger. How could this person be so shameless?
Despite saying that, Xiao Ruofeng didn't actually throw him off his back. Instead, he quickly led his men back to Fengxiao Temple.
Upon returning to Fengxiao Temple, Ye Dingzhi realized how childish his behavior had been, and couldn't help but feel embarrassed, his face turning red.
He actually jumped onto the back of the Prince of Langya and had him carry him back to Fengxiao Temple.
Xiao Ruofeng's most admired person is his father, Ye Yu, but when he was a child, his most admired person was Xiao Ruofeng.
Because Xiao Ruofeng had previously prevented him from stealing the bride, his goodwill towards Xiao Ruofeng had greatly diminished.
But now he has submitted to King Jingyu's command, and Xiao Ruofeng and King Jingyu are brothers.
So he just acted like a brat towards his boss's brother and his former idol, like a child asking someone to carry him.
day!
What's wrong with him today?
Why do I keep doing things that show I'm not thinking straight?
Xiao Ruofeng watched Ye Dingzhi sitting there with a good temper, his expression changing back and forth like a Sichuan opera face-changing act.
At first, seeing Ye Dingzhi's distressed expression, he assumed that he and his brother had not reached an agreement.
But upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Ye Dingzhi still had a bitter expression, but the gloomy aura he had previously exuded had disappeared.
Considering Ye Dingzhi's childish behavior just now, all of this indicates that Ye Dingzhi's heart is no longer as closed off as before, as if he has suddenly found a trustworthy partner.
Ye Dingzhi trusts him a lot now!
Xiao Ruofeng was greatly surprised to realize this. Now he was really curious about what his brother had talked about with Ye Dingzhi and what conditions he had offered that had caused such a big change in Ye Dingzhi.
After a long pause, Ye Dingzhi finally recovered and awkwardly asked, "Aren't you going to ask me what I and Prince Jingyu talked about?"
Xiao Ruofeng poured himself a cup of tea, took two slow sips, and then nodded slowly: "Oh, so what did you talk about?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Dingzhi sighed and recounted the conversation between the two in the study.
Upon hearing that his elder brother intended to overturn the verdict against the Ye family, Xiao Ruofeng nodded, as this was to be expected.
In the reopened Ye Mansion, there will be a mistress. Hmm, that makes sense... hmm?
hostess?
Could it be Yi Wenjun?
Xiao Ruofeng was truly astonished. His elder brother had actually offered up even a concubine in order to recruit Ye Dingzhi.
Of course, he wasn't against Ye Dingzhi and Yi Wenjun being together, but rather because the whole thing was just too unbelievable.
Indeed, my elder brother is brave and decisive, possessing the qualities of a wise man.
Brother-obsessed Xiao Ruofeng secretly admired his brother, his respect for him growing even stronger.
Then he learned that his elder brother had given Ye Dingzhi the mission to eliminate the Outer Heavens...
Ah this!
If he was merely surprised before, he was now utterly shocked.
The Outer Heavens is...
Xiao Ruofeng's gaze suddenly fell on Ye Dingzhi, and he suddenly realized what had happened to him.
No wonder you suddenly became so friendly with me, you just wanted my help!
Ye Dingzhi lowered his head and smiled shyly, seemingly a little embarrassed.
