She seems to have a good amount of alcohol, but she still doesn't like this thing. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Let's go, then. Mu Qing looked at it, there was no one in the field, the guards were all gone, and in the night, the surroundings were quiet, "All dispersed." โ€

The group walked back, Ling Fei took two steps and suddenly stopped, and the next moment, he turned around and looked back, there was no one under the tree.

"What's wrong?" Mu Qing also looked around, "Oh, you see that old man is called Hanako? โ€

Ling Fei didn't make a sound, frowning, as if searching for something in his head.

"Are you looking at that old flower?" Shen Nishang stopped.

"It's nothing," Ling Fei shook his head and continued to walk back, "It's a little familiar, I can't remember it, maybe I'm wrong." โ€

The group entered the inn and stood at the door of the inn, Shen Nishang couldn't help but look back and look again, there was no half a figure under the tree.

After saying that the time of departure tomorrow was made, several people went upstairs to their rooms.

Shen Nishang lived in the east with a few maids, and the male guests lived in the west.

The night was getting darker, and the whole inn fell into silence, except for the distant sound of insects and the night wind blowing through the mountains.

Shen Nishang slept in the carriage during the day, and she couldn't sleep at the moment.

She sent the maids to rest, and Miao Zhen stayed at the end: "When the slave maid went down for dinner earlier, I saw Xiaobao's father just going downstairs. โ€

Miao Zhen didn't finish her words, but her eyes clearly expressed her meaning

Xiaobao's father?

That's Ergou, he heard?

She thought back to the conversation she had with Miao Zhen at that time, and it didn't seem like she should have said anything.

After Miaozhen went out, Shen Nishang took a book out, but the oil light line was really a little dim, she turned a few pages and felt bothered, so she simply put down the book, walked to the window, opened the window and looked out at the night scene.

In fact, there is nothing to see, the window of her room is facing the front yard of the inn, and the courtyard is the open space where they fought just now, and further away, it is the location of the official road.

was watching, and heard a sound below, Shen Nishang poked his head and looked down, and the second dog was taking the ladder to get the lantern at the door. He took out two candles from the lantern, and only one remained, and hung them up carefully.

After making the lantern, he climbed down the bamboo ladder, and suddenly his feet slipped, and the bamboo ladder shook.

"Be careful!" Shen Nishang exclaimed in a low voice.

Obviously, he was still experienced, and quickly stabilized his figure, and when he looked up, Shen Nishang smiled lightly.

Ergou looked at her fixedly, and did not go down immediately.

Shen Nishang didn't make a sound, and looked at him quietly.

The second dog lifted his chin inward and went down the ladder.

Shen Nishang was stunned for a moment, but she still felt that she was not mistaken, lowered her eyes and thought about it, she opened the door and went downstairs.

Ergou stood in front of the door of the backyard in the lobby, Shen Nishang hesitated and stepped forward, and Ergou turned around and walked towards the location of the kitchen in the backyard.

In the east room on the second floor, a figure hung upside down from the roof with a golden hook, and his fingers tapped lightly on the window lattice.

Ling Fei walked over and pushed open the window, and after the dark guard whispered a word, he asked, "Do your subordinates want to follow?"

Ling Fei lowered his eyes, and his jade-colored fingers bent his fingers and knocked on the window frame as if he was entangled for a moment: "No need, just look at the movement." โ€

The dark guard bowed his head, and as soon as his waist and abdomen were closed, the man returned to the roof.

And the two downstairs walked to the kitchen one after the other, the second dog lit the oil lamp on the stove, took it to the table and put it aside, Shen Nishang silently watched his movements, did not make any sound, after the oil lamp was placed, he took out a square stack of paper from his arms, slowly opened it, and spread it on the table.

Shen Nishang stepped forward and looked down.

A piece of paper on his face depicts a tall, one-armed man dressed in black and masked, with a sleeve on his left arm and a sword in his right hand.

The tip of the sword was pointing downward, and there was a black drop-shaped ink mass falling down the tip of the sword, and Shen Nishang knew that it meant blood.

The brushwork is very simple and rough, but it seems that he was born with a talent in this area, and with this untempered brushwork, he painted a murderous spirit.

The man was dressed in black, covered with a black scarf, and his figure was very burly, but the position of his eyebrows and eyes was blank.

Shen Nishang took the first one and found that the second one was also the one-armed man in black, and even the action clothes were exactly the same, the only different brushstrokes seemed to be a little more immature, and then in the first blank eyebrow position, he drew a thick eyebrow obliquely upward, and a pair of slender eyes below.

Shen Nishang was stunned for a moment, and continued to look down, only to find that there were a total of more than a dozen portraits, each of which was this masked one-armed man, the only difference was that except for the first one with no eyebrows, each of the others had a different shape of eyebrows and eyes, either thick eyebrows and big eyes, or long eyebrows into the sideburns...... And the brushwork is more immature and distant than the other.

In the last one, the lines of the pen are all trembling and bent, and I almost didn't see the feature of the man's one-armed, only that the sleeves were strangely crooked.

Even if Shen Nishang doesn't know how to paint, she can see that this portrait should have been painted by a child a long time ago.

He was not skilled in drawing, and he was afraid, but he forced himself to draw it, but he painted it in a strange way.

Shen Nishang silently put the folded paper back in place, and then folded it back to its original state.

"Is that what you see him? only him?" asked Shen Nishang softly.

Ergou pursed his lips and nodded.

"Then do you know that there are other people?" Shen Nishang looked at him.

The second dog gestured a few times, Shen Nishang couldn't understand, he turned around and walked to the corner and took a few branches to break, put a few shapes on the table and changed positions a few times.

"You meanโ€”" Shen Nishang asked tentatively, "there aren't many people...... How many people are there? How do you know?"

Ergou put his finger to his mouth and made a whistle motion.

"You said they whistled?" Shen Nishang was stunned, her mind spun away, "You didn't hear much, when this man came to your house, you only saw him alone, and then you heard them whistling and gatheringโ€”right?"

Ergou nodded.

"It's him...... Let you go?" Shen Nishang hesitated, but still asked.

The gang should have acted separately, and the final whistle meant that they had completed their tasks, and the second dog could hear the whistle, indicating that the one-armed man did not move at this time.

So what were they doing then?

Ergou was silent for a moment, he picked up a branch and stabbed him in the chest, just below the heart of the heart.

"Why?" Shen Nishang looked at him in confusion.

With a vision like her, she naturally saw that although this position seemed to be very dangerous, it avoided the vital point of the heart, and there were no arterial veins in this position, even if it was stabbed, almost not too much blood, at least it would not hurt life.

This one-armed man has the heart to let him go!

Why?

Since he killed Ergou's grandparents and his twelve-year-old eldest brother in front of him, why did he let Ergou go?

"Then you can't speak, are you scared?" Shen Nishang looked at him and asked one last question.

Ergou walked to the stove, dug up some oil and sludge and rubbed it into a ball, and walked back to Shen Nishang, he slowly made a motion of throwing the mud ball into his mouth.

Shen Nishang's heart was suddenly shocked!

No matter what she thought, she didn't expect that Ergou's mute was not frightened, nor was he pretending to be dumb as she suspected earlier, he was fed dumb medicine by the man in black!

She stood stunned in place, and countless mysteries rushed to her face, making her only feel frightened.

Ergou picked up a stack of portraits on the table and handed them to Shen Nishang, on her thin face, a pair of small eyes looked at her fixedly, looking at the expectation and persistence hidden in these eyes, Shen Nishang's mood was a little heavy.

She sighed and took the stack of sketches: "I do have my own purpose in inquiring about this, but in any case, if I find something one day, I will definitely come and tell you." โ€

Ergou nodded, turned around and walked out silently.

Shen Nishang returned to the house, lay on the bed, and fell asleep for a long time.

###

After another day, they stopped at Ling Fei's planned foothold that night, an inn in the town. Because it is already very close to the royal capital, this town is also a little more prosperous than ordinary towns.

The accommodation conditions of the inn are much better than the inn of the second dog's house.

After resting for one night, he walked on the road for most of the day, and the majestic city gate was revealed to everyone.

The city walls are dozens of feet high, the red lacquered copper nail doors that require several people to open and close, the city gates wide enough to accommodate several carriages side by side, and the neatly armored soldiers...... Not only were a few maids dizzying and amazed one after another, but even Shen Nishang was shocked.

This is the scene that she would never have imagined in her life in the original world.

No matter how many history books I have read, and no matter how many interpretations I have read by later generations, those are not true.

And at this moment, she really saw and touched a completely different world.

She had regretted countless times that she could not go to those ancient capitals of dynasties in person, to touch the real history with her own hands, she could only look at those atlases, those words, and those images to guess the truth.

Even if it wasn't the same historical trajectory, and it wasn't the dynastic capitals she was familiar with, she already felt satisfied.

Ling Fei showed the token in front, and the soldiers only opened the door and simply patrolled, and their carriage entered the city gate in advance.

Looking at the long queue behind her, Shen Nishang had to admit that sometimes, especially when you are enjoying a certain privilege, there is really no way to say against your will that you are not a little happy.

She had seen it just now, and the soldiers' inspections were very meticulous, and even the vegetables picked by the vegetable farmers were opened and inspected before they could pass, and if they really had to queue up, they estimated that it would take at least half an hour before they could enter the city gate.

The prosperity of the royal capital is three points more prosperous than Yunzhou, the street is much wider than Yunzhou, the uniform is paved with smooth stone slabs, the pedestrians on the street are weaving, all kinds of exquisite carriages are not uncommon, the shops on both sides are lined up, and the three-storey and four-story buildings are lined up one after another, which is by no means rare.

The three maids put their heads together and exclaimed in low exclamations from time to time.

"Miss, where are we going?" Yuchun turned his head and asked, "Don't you live in the inn?"

Shen Nishang didn't know: "They didn't say, let's follow first." โ€

The carriage traveled all the way to the southeast, and after about half an hour, it stopped in front of a house.

Ling Fei walked over and spoke in front of the window: "This is my courtyard, there are no outsiders, and the surroundings are quiet." โ€

That's what it means to arrange for them to live here.

Without drinking, Ling Fei returned to his concise and somewhat arrogant appearance.

The steward of the other courtyard quickly came out, welcomed a group of people in an orderly manner, and arranged the courtyard separately.

The courtyard arranged for Shen Nishang is called "Liuyu Courtyard", as soon as you enter the yard, there is a small lotus pond, at this time, it is the season when the lotus is full of buds and small lotus horns, and a large piece of lotus leaves is almost spread over the entire water surface, which is verdant and dripping, which makes people feel happy at first sight.

Shen Nishang likes it very much.

The furnishings in the house are also very exquisite, and it can be seen that all the furnishings have been put into the furnishings, the curtains, the bedding and even the large pillow on the Luohan bed are all of high quality fabrics and brand new.

"Enhou Mansion is really rich. Yuchun and the two little girls muttered, "Did you see it just now, I'm afraid that this courtyard is bigger than our entire Shen family." It's just Young Master Ling's own courtyard!"

There was a light cough at the door, and a few people looked back, and the chief steward of the courtyard was standing at the door, with a respectful smile on his face, and there were two pretty maids standing beside him.

The maid who took half a step forward was slender, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, wearing a silver-red crepe skirt, which looked very charming, but her expression was extremely dignified and calm, at first glance it looked like a five-point resemblance to a neon dress, and on her side was a maid wearing a lake-green light skirt with a slightly immature face.

The two of them stood together, no matter their posture or bearing, they obviously had to win.

Shen Nishang came out of the inner room, and the chief steward bowed slightly: "This is Sirou and Wenyu, if the young lady has instructions, explain to them." โ€

Shen Nishang nodded, probably because she was afraid that they would not be familiar with them, so she sent these two people over to inquire about something.

After the chief steward left, the maid in the silver-red crepe skirt stepped forward and blessed herself: "Slave Sirou, this is asking jade, and the young lady has something to explain." The slaves and maids live in the back of the courtyard, and the young lady can send someone to recognize the way with the slaves and maids later. โ€

The maid next to her who was called Wenyu also smiled and blessed.

"Sorry. Shen Ni bowed his head.

Miao Zhen and Er Ya followed to recognize the way, Sirou took half a step slow before going out, and looked back again, but Shen Nishang had already entered the East Room, and she only looked at her back.

"Miss, this Sirou looks a little like Miss. Yuchun said.

"Really?" Shen Nishang didn't care much, "It's normal for people to look alike." โ€

"She's not as good-looking as Miss. Xiao Cui, "The eyes are not as big as Miss, and the complexion is not as good as Miss, so she is only taller than Miss." โ€

"Alright, don't say it. Shen Nishang spoke, "In the end, it's in someone else's house, it's better to pay attention." โ€

The two maids stuck out their tongues and turned to clean up.

This Miao Zhen recognized the way with Erya, asked some more life matters, and turned to leave.

Sirou stood at the door and watched, and asked Yu to lean over: "Who is this Shen girl? Why did the chief steward order us to serve? and the two young masters who came with her, they were also surprised to look at them." But it's good-looking. (To be continued.) )
