Chapter 2192 Forced Marriage 2

Of course, he was very artistic in asking questions. If Gu Xijiu was not perceptive, he could hardly hear the point of his conversation.

"They have been trapped in that valley for more than a hundred years? The only ones alive back then are your old patriarchs?"

Gu Xijiu nodded: "Yes."

Turning the wine glass in Ye Ling's hand, the corners of her lips curled up coldly, and she asked casually, "How many of his children escaped this time?"

Gu Xijiu looked at his fingers with gloves on, focused on his little finger, and replied, "No, he only has one son, but he was torn apart by a ferocious beast."

Ye Ling narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, but he smiled: "As the patriarch, but let the only and only son be eaten, how useless! His wife didn't fight him hard?"

"His wife has passed away a long time ago." Gu Xijiu had never seen her before, but she heard from the old patriarch that his wife was one of his maids...

The wine glass in Ye Ling's hand turned again: "It turns out that he is already dead, so your patriarch is really unfortunate!"

Gu Xijiu didn't speak, she felt that the city lord's tone seemed to be gloating, but also seemed to be angry...

Anyway, it's kind of weird.

The two drank a few more glasses, Ye Ling focused on her face, and suddenly smiled: "Miss Gu and that Young Master Di really don't look like people from our side..."

Gu Xijiu smiled and said nothing.

The appearance of her and Di Fuyi is indeed different from that of the people in this city. People here have sunken eye sockets, higher nose bridges, and although their skin is fair enough, it is not delicate...

"Where did you two come from? How did you get to that valley?"

"It's just a down-and-out person affected by natural disasters. Why should the city lord ask about the origin? As for the valley, it's just a wandering there by chance."

Ye Ling stared at her for a while, then suddenly smiled: "The valley is blocked by an enchantment, and it is difficult for outsiders to enter. It is really rare for the two of you to wander in by chance."

Gu Xijiu also laughed: "It turns out that the city lord also knows that there is an enchantment sealing it. It seems that the city lord has been there before?"

"I happened to pass by while hunting, so I learned about it. I just didn't expect so many people to be trapped inside. I didn't expect that a genius like a girl would be trapped in it..."

Gu Xijiu shook the wine glass in his hand: "So everything is possible."

Ye Ling suddenly sighed: "The girl is like a person, actually."

"Um, who do you look like?"

"The wife of the city lord."

Gu Xijiu: "..." What a clumsy way to strike up a conversation!

She smiled: "That's really Xijiu's honor."

She raised her hand to clink the wine glass with Ye Ling, Ye Ling naturally would not refuse, the two wine glasses hit each other with a 'ding' sound.

Gu Xijiu probably drank a little too much, so he used a little too much force in his hand. The touch broke the other's wine glass, and the wine spilled on Ye Ling's hand.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Gu Xijiu apologized, raised her hand and took out a handkerchief to wipe her hands...

With this wipe, several pieces of armor on the opponent's fingers were wiped off.

Gu Xijiu finally saw the other party's right little finger, and it was missing a piece...

Ye Ling's eyes moved slightly, looking at Gu Xijiu, there seemed to be water flowing in her eyes: "Miss Gu..."

He raised his hand and wanted to hold Gu Xijiu's hand, but Gu Xijiu withdrew calmly, and Ye Ling's left hand was held onto his own right hand.
