He Luwei, the housekeeper of the Marquis Mansion, came back in a panic and reported to He Yuting that while they were paying homage to He Chengqi, a murderous demon appeared. After a bloody massacre, the thieves kidnapped Princess Huanyu, the young master He Tianci and Yu Shi.
Before leaving, a masked old man handed a letter to He Luwei and asked him to deliver it to He Yuting.
He Yuting asked hurriedly: "Where is the letter?"
In order to shake things off, He Lu took out a letter soaked in blood from his arms and held it in front of He Yuting with both hands.
He Yuting opened the book to read, but saw the following:
"Master He sees words as if he had met:
I have taken the liberty to invite Princess Huanyu, your grandson He Tianci and the noble lady Yu to your residence. I hope you will forgive me for being disrespectful. Now that the treasure family has temporarily taken up residence in the wrong place, they are unscathed. Lord He can rest assured.
I will set up a glass of wine at the pavilion ten miles outside the city tomorrow at 11 o'clock. I will be waiting for Mr. He to come. We have important matters to discuss. See you there or leave.
year month day"
There is no signature on the back.
After reading the letter, He Yuting was a little stunned, a little confused, and also felt an indescribable anger and annoyance. His face was gloomy, his thick eyebrows were almost twisted into a tight knot, and he thought to himself: "Could it be him?..."
When He Lu saw his master's terrifying expression, he felt his heart getting cold from the inside out, and murmured: "Master Marquis, what should we... do?"
He Yuting said nothing. He lowered his eyelids slumpedly, waved his hand at him tiredly and said, "You should step back first!"
"Yes." He Luwei didn't dare to say anything more, so he agreed and walked out the door with a low eyebrow.
When he reached the door, he stopped again, secretly glanced at the master's gloomy face with the corner of his eye, and said cautiously: "Master Marquis, do you want to tell the princess about this?"
After being reminded by him, He Yuting's heart trembled and he said hastily: "You haven't told anyone about this yet, have you?"
He Luwei said: "How dare I make my own opinions without the permission of the Marquis?"
He Yuting breathed a sigh of relief and said: "That's good. Butler, you did a good job. Remember, what happened today is not allowed to be told to anyone - including the princess - without my permission. Only you and I know about it. I know, otherwise..."
At this point, he paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and the aura around him was cold and terrifying.
He Luweicheng said fearfully: "Yes, I understand."...
At the right time of the next day, in a long pavilion ten miles outside the city, He Yuting arrived as promised.
Apart from the housekeeper He Luwei and the martial artist Asan, there were only two master guards around him.
From a distance, he saw the unruly and cold back of the mysterious figure who asked him to meet in the pavilion.
The rustling autumn wind stirred the man's black clothes and trembled, like a wild demon dancing wildly, giving off an eerie and terrifying tone.
He Yuting's whole body trembled unconsciously, and a chill suddenly hit his heart. He stepped forward step by step.
At this time, the man in the pavilion turned around.
His delicate facial features are as frosty as snow, with a kind of evil charm and ruthlessness; the sword-shaped eyebrows slanting into the temples, the blood-colored eyes, the slightly aquiline nose, the slightly sunken corners of the mouth, and the angular face become more and more... His hair perfectly accentuated the powerful aura emanating from his body.
He Yuting's face turned cold and he said with a trembling voice: "It's really you!..."
That person was Li Ruiyun, the leader of the Tianxiao organization. Hearing this, he smiled softly and said, "Master He, are you okay?"
He Yuting said coldly: "Stop talking nonsense and tell the truth. Why do you want to arrest people in my house?"
Li Ruiyun raised her eyebrows and glanced at him casually, "Mr. He said something serious. I haven't chatted with Mr. He for a long time. Now I just want to find an opportunity to get together with Mr. He, my former father. That’s all.”
He Yuting looked nervous and alert, "You...what do you want me to do again?"
Li Ruiyun curled his lips and said with a smile like a crescent moon: "Master He is really quick to talk! Then I will tell you directly, I want to ask Master He to help me with something."
He Yuting said: "Just tell me what you want me to do, so why go through such big detours? Don't you think it's a bit superfluous, Gang Leader Li?"
Li Ruiyun narrowed his eyes lazily and said slowly: "It's not superfluous, but it has to be done - otherwise, how could Mr. He make up his mind?"
He Yuting's expression suddenly changed: "What is going on?"
Li Ruiyun said: "I would like to ask Mr. He to help find someone."
He Yuting said in a trembling voice: "Who is it?"
A cold light flashed across Li Ruiyun's deep black eyes, and he said almost word for word: "Your son Ling Yun"
He Yuting felt the blood all over his body surge to the top of his head. His face was pale and he was speechless for a long time.
After a long time, he calmed down and said with a wry smile: "If you want to find Ling Yun, just go to him directly. Why go to all the trouble to find me? Besides, what can I do to help? He is here now I don’t know where…”
"Master He, now that you have reached this point, you no longer need to hide with me!..."
Li Ruiyun let out a chuckle from his throat. His laughter was hoarse, low, and downright chilling.
"Does Lord He not know where Ling Yun is now? What a big joke! But I seem to have heard that he just came to your mansion the night before yesterday and talked with Princess Chang Qing for a long time!"
He Yuting's eyes widened, as if in disbelief, "He came to the house the night before yesterday? I...why didn't I know?..."
Li Ruiyun glanced at him with a stern look, and folded his arms lazily in front of his chest.
"I don't know these things, how do you know so clearly?" He Yuting suddenly felt relieved, his jawline became tighter and tighter, and he glared at Li Ruiyun angrily: "It turns out that you have always been here Send someone to monitor my house..."
Li Ruiyun didn't seem to bother to raise his eyelids, and just snorted coldly, looking very strange.
Looking at the other party's disdainful expression, a sense of frustration that I had never felt before welled up in my heart. He Yuting sighed in annoyance and couldn't help but think of what happened yesterday morning.
At that time, Princess Chang Qing stopped him nervously and told him with a worried look that she had something to discuss with him.
He was so upset at the time that he had no intention of listening to her verbose words, so he said feebly: "We can talk about it later. I'm so sleepy now, I'm going to rest first."...
Now recalling Princess Chang Qing's hesitant expression and sad and lost eyes; and then combined with Li Ruiyun's statement at this time, he suddenly understood.
It turns out that his beloved son Ling Yun really came back that night! …
Seeing that He Yuting was just in a daze, Li Ruiyun couldn't help but twitch his lips and said, "Who has figured out what to do now?"
"What?..." He Yuting's face was dull and his eyes were blank.
Li Ruiyun said: "Of course it's the same thing I just mentioned. Please help us find Ling Yun, Mr. He."
He Yuting frowned, his expression changed several times, and his whole face showed a complicated look that was difficult to identify, "Although he has been to the house, he has left now; his whereabouts are uncertain now, and you can't find him. I How can we find him?"
Li Ruiyun said: "Although we can't find him, I believe that Master He will be able to find him."
"Me?..." He Yuting's heart suddenly sank.
Li Ruiyun's deep eyes flashed, and he said leisurely: "Rabbits run all over the mountains and return to their old nests sooner or later. This former Commander Ling, now the eldest son of the Marquis Mansion, no matter how powerful he is, he is still a human being and not a god. There are always times when he is tired; when he is lonely and helpless, he always needs someone to comfort him.
"At the very least, he must have a place to stay, not to mention that the Marquis' Mansion is still his home! So one day, he will always come back, and I don't need to say more about what to do next. Bar?……"
He Yuting was startled, and an indescribable look of panic suddenly flashed across his dull face, "Li Ruiyun, you...what do you want?..."
Li Ruiyun raised the corner of his mouth in a bad way and said bluntly: "What do I want? Why does Mr. He need to ask questions knowingly? Now that things have happened, I will tell the truth straight away. Li wants Ling Yun right now!"
"Why?..." He Yuting's eyes trembled with emotion, and he said tremblingly.
"Why, Lord He is a smart man, why bother pretending to be confused? Don't Lord He know what your son has been doing these days? I remember I reminded Lord He before to keep your son safe. I want to get mixed up with that old guy Lu Wenzheng and let him take care of himself, otherwise he will die in an embarrassing way - but doesn't Mr. He know the outcome better than me?..."
At that moment, He Yuting felt his mind went blank. He bit his lip tightly, his throat trembling like a sob, "No...no, I can't give my son to you!..."
"Master He, are you sure?..." Li Ruiyun drooped his eyelids and yawned lazily: "Master He, have you forgotten? He once took our Tianxiao's calming pill. If you can't take the antidote on time-"
He Yuting looked at Li Ruiyun with obscure eyes for a long time, and suddenly smiled, "So what? Anyway, He's life is already in your hands, it doesn't matter what you do; if you want me to live for myself, , and leaving my biological son in your hands is simply a wishful thinking!..."
Li Ruiyun seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world, and laughed sarcastically, harshly and painfully, "Master He is strong-willed and righteous. He would rather die than betray his son - this deep love between father and son is really heart-wrenching. So touching! But..."
He paused for a moment, looked straight at He Yuting with eyes as deep as the abyss, and said sadly: "Master He can sacrifice his life for his son without fear of life and death; are you willing to let your grandson, Huan Yu Did the princess, the Yu family and others also lose their lives in vain for Ling Yun?..."
