Chapter 234: A Ingot of Silver
As soon as these words came out, Twilight Tianxue and Gao were suddenly stunned.
With a trilling voice, Twilight Tianxue asked Xiao Chuan in horror: "Brother Chuan, who do you say was killed by Kun Shao? General Duan? Are you talking about Kun Shao General Duan?"
Seeing Twilight Tianxue's panic, Xiao Chuan realized that he had said the wrong thing: "No, no." I'm just saying it casually. Cher, you just pretend that I didn't say anything. Hey, I thought you knew."
As a result, the more this is explained, the worse it gets.
Faced with Twilight Tianxue's constant questioning, Xiao Chuan really couldn't explain it clearly, so he simply became a deserter. He bent down to pick up the food box on the ground, and was just about to turn around, when suddenly a book fell out of his cuff and landed in front of Gao impartially.
Xiao Chuan panicked and wanted to pick it up, but was preempted by the Gao family. Gao took the book in his hand and looked at it, and handed it to Xiao Chuan.
Twilight didn't care about this scene. Because all her thoughts were on the sentence that Xiao Chuan had just said, Duan Kun was the murderer.
Xiao Chuan took the book and smiled awkwardly: "That, Xue'er, it's time for me to take medicine." Well, I'll go in, don't think about it!", he said, gesturing to the horse beside him. Seeing that Twilight Tianxue was standing in place and did not move, she immediately turned around and hurriedly ran back to the house.
Gao pulled the twilight snow standing in front of Xiaochuan Mansion: "Let's go, Miss." β
Twilight turned around and looked at the Gao clan in front of him with a dull gaze: "It is rumored that the person who died last night was killed by General Duan? What do you mean? Does it mean that General Duan is the murderer? Killed four people? Is that so?"
"Miss, don't worry. This rumor is a rumor, and it doesn't have to be taken seriously. Besides, how could General Duan be the murderer. β
Twilight Tianxue obviously didn't listen, she lowered her head to look at the ground, and suddenly got on her horse: "No! I'm going to the barracks! I'm going to ask General Duan in person!"
"It's not Miss! The barracks, the barracks are now training!" As a result, no matter how Gao shouted, Twilight Snow had already made up his mind. She rode on horseback and looked at Gao: "Are you going, or you wait for me here, I'll go by myself!"
"No, no, I'll go, I'll go!"
As a result, when I arrived at the barracks, I found that General Duan was called by Hou Ye. In this way, the two turned back again.
γReehoufu Main Hallγ
As soon as Duan Kun stepped into the main hall that he was familiar with on weekdays, he felt the abnormality of this atmosphere.
"Come, come, talk to me. β
Duan Kun was stunned: "But Master Hou, it's still in this barracks."
"Isn't there Xiao Song? He's not a waste! He does everything himself, and sooner or later he will have to exhaust himself to death. See. Wool, Chinese net"
Duan Kun lowered his head and did not speak. He took a few steps forward.
Ling Hougu raised his head and took a look: "I asked you to come and sit next to me, what are you doing running so far? Why, there have been a lot of things in the house recently, but you have been separated from me? shouldn't you?!"
Ling Hougu said as he fiddled with the rice paper in front of him.
Duan Kun smiled embarrassedly, then went up a few steps and sat next to Ling Hougu, but he still looked restrained.
Ling Hougu tilted his head and looked: "How are you doing with Xue'er recently?"
"It's a good waiting. β
"Well, that's good. Don't blame me for not telling you, General Twilight has sent a letter, saying that it will be there in the next few days. β
"General Dusk, so fast?" Duan Kun's voice was a little anxious.
Ling Hougu tilted his head: "Hurry? Let me tell you, this is that he has a war at hand, otherwise, with my understanding of him, his precious daughter has a sweetheart, then he must be the first to kill the horse over! Do you know what to do here? hahaha~ Inspect you! So, you have to behave well, don't fall off the chain at that time!"
Duan Kun lowered his head and smiled awkwardly: "Master Hou, you also know that I have always been straightforward, and I won't show anything. β
Ling Hougu laughed: "Being straight is a good thing in military warfare, but in life, it will do more harm than good." But remember, if you can't learn something, then we won't learn it, otherwise, it's counterproductive. You can do whatever you want when General Twilight comes, you don't have to be pretentious, and you don't have to be embarrassed. β
Ling Hougu picked up the teapot, poured tea into an empty teacup in front of Duan Kun, and handed it to Duan Kun casually. This frightened Duan Kun and stood up suddenly: "Hou Ye, this"
Ling Hougu stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "Sit." Now it's just the two of us in this house, so you don't have to be restrained. I called you, but I haven't talked to you in a long time. What happened in the house yesterday, what is the progress?"
Duan Kun was stunned for a moment, put the tea cup in his hand in the tea tray, and then stood up and knelt on one knee: "Back to the waiting master, the result is not yet." But after saying but, Duan Kun suddenly stopped moving.
Ling Hougu raised his head and raised his eyebrows: "But what?"
Duan Kun was a little embarrassed: "But Master Hou, these four people have all been exposed to the same thing before they died. β
"The same thing?what?"
"It's a penia. β
Ling Hougu looked at Duan Kun fixedly: "Where did this silver come from?"
"Back to the waiting master, according to the servant, this ingot of silver was rewarded by the eldest young master to a subordinate in Xiaochuan Mansion. As a result, it was asked by several other people to buy wine. And the soldier who sells alcohol in the barracks has a debt relationship with another deceased. Therefore, when he had received the money for the wine, he went to pay the debt. The suspicion of the cause of death of the four people, except for the unknown pattern, is this ingot of silver. β
Ling Hougu thought for a while: "How is Xiao Guanxian and you recently?"
Duan Kun raised his eyes and looked at Ling Hougu: "It's good." β
Ling Hougu asked rhetorically, "It's good?"
Duan Kun lowered his head: "Actually, except for getting together every morning meeting, there is not much contact. But Lord Hou, I, I just told you about the silver, but it has nothing to do with the grievances of the dead. β
Ling Hougu nodded: "I know." He picked up the cup: "Outside, have you heard rumors about you?"
Duan Kun smiled helplessly: "Master Hou, you called me today, it should be because of this rumor, right?"
"Because the rumors are true, but they never want to be tempted. β
Duan Kun smiled: "Duan Kun, thank you for your trust!"
Ling Hougu laughed: "Thank me for what?"
"Xie Houye, I drank tea and chatted with Duan Kun today, and I didn't set up a banquet with wine!"
Ling Hougu laughed: "I didn't set up the wine because you are not enough for me to set up a banquet!"
Coming out of the main hall, Duan Kun looked up and saw the twilight snow anxiously waiting outside the door.
Twilight Tianxue greeted him: "General Duan!"
Duan Kun was stunned: "Why are you here?"
Twilight Tianxue didn't answer, but looked around, stretched out her hand and pulled Duan Kun to the eaves, and hurriedly asked, "Outside, say that you killed those people?"
Twilight Tianxue's expression was full of anxiety and panic, she was afraid that the man she loved would be confused and do something wrong. Therefore, she was both nervous and cautious, both afraid of hearing the answer and afraid that the other party would not answer.
Duan Kun smiled hahaha, and raised his hand to touch Twilight Tianxue's head: "Little fool! You deserve to be called a little friend, your IQ is really negative! Do you really believe those so-called murder rumors? Do you really think that I am such a cold-blooded person?"
Twilight lowered her head and smiled, "I'm sorry, I'm thinking too much." β
Duan Kun stretched out his hand and flicked her forehead: "What a stupid and stupid child." I don't blame you. There have been a lot of things going on in the house in the last two days, I'm afraid I don't have much time to spend with you, you have to take care of yourself. β
Twilight nodded.
"It's still early, I'm going back to the barracks. β
Twilight Tianxue looked at Duan Kun, her eyes full of reluctance. When the two were about to separate, Duan Kun looked around and suddenly pecked at Twilight Tianxue's face!
This kind of spoiling and affection in broad daylight made Twilight Snow blush. Duan Kun hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, and his tone was very gentle: "I'm leaving!" As he spoke, he strode down the steps and got on the horse, heading straight for the direction of the barracks.
Twilight Snow was still immersed in Fang Cai's kiss, and her face was red, like the fruit of this autumn, and she replied shyly.
Gao took a step forward: "What am I talking about? Miss, you just ask superfluously! There will be millions of rumors outside, today we heard that it is General Duan, maybe, what will be the rumors of General Li, General Liu, and General Wang tomorrow?!"
At this time, the twilight snow was more like being stunned by sudden happiness, although she listened to Gao's words, she had no brain at all.
She lowered her head and walked with Gao in the corridor back to her home. When she was about to arrive at the house, she suddenly turned her head and asked Ming Gao: "Eh, Xiao Man came to the house in a panic early in the morning to take the kite away, what did she do with it?"
Gao rolled his eyes: "Maybe Miss Xiao Man wants to play too." β
Twilight Tianxue pouted: "How do you remember that I heard her say something in a trance, as if she mentioned her third brother?"
Gao Shi took Twilight Tianxue's arm and walked forward: "Oh, let's go, Miss! What is the third brother and the fourth brother, now, no one is as important as your brother Duan! Other irrelevant things, you, don't worry about it! You can think about it now when you have time, how do you introduce this Ruyi Langjun to him when General Twilight is here in a few days!hahaha~"
Twilight Snow blushed. She put her hands behind her back, jokingly jumped forward, raised her head to meet the warm sunshine: "I think, my father will definitely like General Duan very much!" As for General Duan, he and my father get along very harmoniously. During the day, they will drink tea together, train and fight together, discuss the major affairs of the world together, and in the evening, they will look at the stars with me and talk about what will happen when we are old!"
At this point, Twilight Snow suddenly stopped. She looked at Gao Shi behind her, and her tone was no longer impassioned, much more stable and gentle, with a lot of uncertainty: "Linglan, do you think it can be realized?"
Gao bit his lower lip, and when he didn't know how to answer, he looked up and met Twilight Snow's gaze. Gao blinked and smiled awkwardly, "Of course." βγ
Twilight Snow immediately turned around, and Gao followed behind. She couldn't see Twilight Snow's expression at this time, whether it was happy or melancholy.
Perhaps, everything is like what Twilight Snow said, people, most of the time, live in self-deception.
