Chapter 13: Heroes Save Beauty?
Coming out of Fugui Hutong, Yifei was silent and didn't speak again, until she left Yanping Gate, Situ Ningbing rode a horse and walked slowly along the Bahe River, she couldn't help but ask: "Sister, why did you take me to that Fugui Hutong?"
Why? In fact, Situ Ningbing herself doesn't know why? She likes Yi Fei's innocent and cute appearance, but she can't help but want to make her recognize the cruelty of this world, after all, it is better to "grow up" slowly than to be forced to "grow up" overnight. So she could only throw the question back to Yi Fei, "I won't tell you now, I'll understand when you grow up." ”
Yi Fei flattened his mouth and muttered, "The mother concubine always says the same. Although she was not satisfied with the answer, she didn't continue to ask, but changed the question, "Will you take that boy in?" She always felt that Situ Ningbing was too cruel to that little boy, if she was unwilling to take him in, she begged her mother to let him enter the palace as a little eunuch. At this time, Yifei didn't know the difference between a eunuch and a man, and when she saw the little boy again many years later, she couldn't help but sweat for him for his "kindness".
"If there is a fate, I will take him. Situ Ningbing's answer was ambiguous, she believed in ability more than fate, if the boy could really find her within seven days, it meant that he still had some ability, and she had always cherished talents. Afraid that Yifei would ask her again, she added, "Even if he doesn't have a chance, he will have a good future in the future with his cleverness." There is always a kind of person in this world who can climb the clouds with his own efforts although he was born in the mud, just like Zhang Xun, the secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, Zhang Xun, who was also born in a humble family, but now he is a member of the third grade, maybe that boy can be a high-ranking official like Lord Zhang in the future?"
Yi Fei nodded as if he didn't understand, Situ Ningbing shook his finger at the dock not far in front of him and said with a smile: "Don't talk about this, let's go to the dock to hire a painting boat, and I'll take you to the lake." As he spoke, he flicked his whip and sped up his horse, not wanting to pass through a willow forest in front of him, when he was unexpectedly stopped by two big men who came out of the shadows.
Situ Ningbing held the horse's head and raised his eyebrows and looked at the two big men blocking the road in front of him, these two people were tall and burly, all wearing indigo coarse cloth and bast shoes on their feet, just looking at their dress like poor people doing rough work, but with the arrogant look on their faces and the breath of a watchdog, Situ Ningbing could roughly guess their identities. Before she could open her mouth, she saw that she had already scolded loudly: "What people! Why are you blocking our way?!"
The two big men glanced at each other, and the one on the left looked at Jian Pian from head to toe with a pair of leopard eyes, and smiled lightly to reveal a mouthful of yellow teeth, "Little lady, don't be angry, this road in the forest is not easy to walk at this time, you better take a detour." As he spoke, he pointed to the official road on the side.
Although the official road is spacious, it can pass through this forest and is the wharf, and it is much cooler to walk from the woods in summer, so Situ Ningbing is naturally reluctant to take a detour. Besides, everyone is curious, and the more the two big men stopped them from entering the woods, the more she wanted to go in and find out. However, she has always been cautious, and will not act rashly until she has figured out the situation, but only glances at her.
Seeing mercy has the same thoughts as her own young lady, she is also very curious about what is the unsavory thing in the forest, but the young lady does not let the hard break so she has to obediently put away the fierce expression on her face, and shows a sweet smile at the big man who just spoke, "Why is it difficult to go? Could it be that there are man-eating tigers in this small willow forest?"
Seeing that the pityful willow eyebrows and apricot eyes were originally extremely beautiful, this smile was even more brilliant like a spring flower, and the big man almost lost his soul when he laughed, and said without thinking about it: "Where is there a tiger? It's my son-in-law who has something to do." ”
"What nonsense!" The big man on the right sold his master when he saw his companion's two words, and hurriedly shouted, and waved at the mercy with a straight face: "If you are told to go, leave quickly!
Seeing that Pian patted his chest with his hand and said with a coquettish expression: "Yo! What is this big brother doing so fiercely, people are so scared." The eyes are like a silk warbler's cry swallow language melted the heart of the big man, where do you remember the original intention of driving people, and look at the pity and drool. The appearance of the hungry ghost in the color is disgusting when he sees pity, but he can't show it on his face, and he continues to talk while the iron is hot: "Your son-in-law has blocked the road when he does something, and the origin must be not small, right?"
The two big men were fascinated, scrambling to sell their masters, only to see that the big man on the right was about to speak, and the one on the left had already rushed to say: "That's, my son-in-law is the third son of the Yanguo family..."
Situ Ningbing didn't hesitate to ride his horse into the willow forest, and saw that he took the opportunity to give the two big men a whip before entering the forest. The willow forest is not big, Situ Ningbing only ran a few steps on a horse, and then he saw a few strong men with masked faces lying on the ground and moaning, and a few were fighting around a man and a woman, and there were seven or eight people hiding behind a big willow tree not far away, looking towards this side from time to time.
"Miss, are we going to help them?" Seeing pity and seeing people fighting, she felt a little itchy in her heart, although she didn't know what was going on, but she was definitely not a good person to bully more and less in broad daylight, so let's talk about it first!
Situ Ningbing shook her head, she only looked at it for a while and saw that it was not a problem for a man and a woman to be weak in martial arts to deal with a few strong men who were strong on the outside and strong in the middle. It was enough for her to watch from the sidelines, there was no need to wade into this troubled water.
"Sister, are they robbers?" Wing Fei pointed to the masked man on the ground, his tone undisguised with excitement.
Situ Ningbing raised her hand and knocked on her little head, and said with a smile: "You stupid girl, do you think this is an acting text? How can robbers be so easy to meet? Not to mention that although this is a suburb, after all, it is at the foot of the emperor of Chang'an, and in broad daylight it is still a small forest with pedestrians coming and going, and the robbers who dare to rob here are not bold, they are so stupid that they cannot be helped." ”
Yi Fei couldn't help but giggle when she heard her say funny, and when she finished laughing, the man and the woman had already knocked several strong men around them to the ground. Situ Ningbing was originally talking to Yifei on one wall and looking at the pair of men and women, the woman was wearing a sky blue robe, her jet-black hair was only tied with a ribbon of the same color, dressed as a chivalrous woman, her apricot eyes and eyebrows were beautiful, although she was not a big beauty, she was also a little beauty. However, the man was dressed in black, with a tall figure, his eyebrows flew into his sideburns, and his lips seemed to be painted, if it weren't for his tall figure, strong physique, and somewhat dark complexion, he couldn't see his teeth when he smiled, Situ Ningbing really thought that he was a stunning beauty dressed as a man.
"Could it be that he is the eldest son of the fourth room of the Yan Guo family?" Situ Ningbing muttered to herself, "How can you look like it?" She has eyeliner in various families, especially the situation in the eight clans, and in the information she got, the third son of the Yan Guo family is the eldest son born to the fourth concubine of Yan Guo Gong Lu Ziyu, and he is a waste who does not learn and has no skills, but can only eat, drink and have fun. The man in front of him has an extraordinary appearance and martial arts, and he has nothing to do with the word "waste".
"Good skills!" Situ Ningbing stroked her palms and praised, she decisively believed that the intelligence network she had built and was proud of would not even be clear about this trivial matter, and Yan San Gongzi must have someone else.
When the man and the woman heard this, they looked at Situ Ningbing together, and they all hugged their fists and made a gesture towards Situ Ningbing, really like a pair of chivalrous and righteous hawkers. Situ Ningbing took advantage of the situation and hugged Yifei and dismounted, walked to the two of them, squatted in front of them, and saluted back, bluntly pointing to the masked man on the ground and asking: "Please forgive the little girl, dare to ask who these people are, why do you do it with the two of you in this willow forest?" Since these two people like to play the game of Jianghu High Rollers, she will not beat around the bush.
The two glanced at each other, and both shook their heads a little inexplicably, but the woman spoke: "We don't know who they are, but when we passed by here, we saw someone blocking them from entering the forest, and I felt a little strange and broke in, but I didn't expect to see these people around those girls and teasing as soon as I came in." As he spoke, he pointed to the person hiding behind the big willow tree not far away.
The man said, "We went up and stopped talking and started a fight. Look at the martial arts of these people, they are neither like robbers nor homeless people, but a bit like the guardians of large families. At this, he couldn't help frowning at the people who came out from behind the willows.
Situ Ningbing followed his gaze, and saw the people who were originally hiding behind the willow trees coming over one after another. The first to lead was a young woman wearing a silk pipa tunic, wearing a gold threaded gauze skirt and a set of red gold butterfly flowers, followed by two girls in green clothes, who seemed to be the young lady of a big family. Three paces away from her were two young men in splendid clothes, one with his head drooping and looking dejected, and the other fanning the young woman with a flattering face.
