Chapter Eighty-Five: The Stargazing Pavilion is on Fire
At night, everything is quiet, the half-moon in the sky is hazy, and the hanging stars are particularly bright. Suddenly, a white figure floated by, leaping into the Stargazing Pavilion at an extremely fast speed.
Inside the house, the gauze tent hung low, and the drunk Lin Xiaoyu lay peacefully on the big bed, with her hair scattered on the pillow. Moonlight poured in through the window, shining on her delicate face.
The white figure stood on the edge of the bed, quietly staring at her sleeping appearance, which was particularly abrupt in the dark night.
"Senior brother, don't go. Suddenly, Lin Xiaoyu whispered, stretched out his hand and grabbed it in the air, turned sideways and fell asleep.
"The princess of this king, when is it the turn of outsiders to visit. Since you are not going to see her, then don't come and provoke her. The faint sound seemed to spread from hell, cold and dangerous. Xiahou Yichen didn't know when, leaning on the doorrail, looking at the uninvited people in the house, and sketching a sneer.
"Hey, you're Xiaoyu's senior brother?" Gu Ruoyao flashed out of the side with a smile on her face and asked curiously.
"That's right, it's down there. Lin Xiaoyu lightly agreed, and clicked on Lin Xiaoyu's sleeping hole like electricity. His white-clothed nocturnal figure seemed to be coated with a layer of mist in the hazy night, and he stood out from the dust. The cold expression did not flash the slightest panic because of Xiahou Yichen's appearance.
"I didn't see her during the day, and now I dare to break into the palace at night. It's just in time, I'll teach you a good lesson for Xiaoyu today. While speaking, the long sword in Gu Ruoyao's hand held the sword flower, and attacked Lin Xiaoyu with killing intent.
The danger was approaching, Lin Xiaoyu snorted coldly, did not dodge or dodge, waved his big hand, and before he could make any movements, his index finger and middle finger clamped the tip of the sword powerfully. "I heard that the lord of Ruoyao County is a heroine among women, and when I saw it today, it really deserved its reputation. ”
"Do you know me?" Hearing him report her identity, Gu Ruoyao was surprised and secretly vigilant. Drew the long sword vigorously, but Lin Xiaoyu had no intention of letting go, and the long sword did not move at all.
"Someone who always wants Leng Gongzi's life, how can he not know you. Xiahou Yichen sneered, and a casual sentence indirectly added fuel to the fire.
"Leng Gongzi is a hot contender for the throne in Yueyin Kingdom, and as the fiancée of his childhood sweetheart, there is no reason why he doesn't know him. I heard the news that Lord Ruoyao ran away from home, but I didn't expect to meet here, but it was really bitter for Leng Gongzi. Lin Xiaoyu said, glancing at Xiahou Yichen meaningfully.
How did it involve Leng Xuran, Gu Ruoyao's expression changed, and she began to get serious. can feel her identity and whereabouts so thoroughly, and tell it as if no one else is around, this person is really not to be underestimated. I have to say that Xiahou Yichen's words successfully attracted Gu Ruoyao's attention. "Oh, your Excellency, you are capable. I don't care who you are, since you've broken into here, it's up to you to get out. Gu Ruoyao said, and with a wave of her hand, several silver needles glowing with cold light flew out, and while Lin Xiaoyu was dodging distraction, the long sword in her hand became active like a spiritual snake, and she beckoned straight to the point.
"Really?" Lin Xiaoyu's eyes sank, and at the moment Gu Ruoyao attacked, one turned sideways, and the long sword in his hand came out of the sheath, only to hear the sound of "Dang!"
Although Gu Ruoyao was born noble, she never had the squeamishness of a house lady. has practiced martial arts since childhood, but has the pride of the children of the rivers and lakes. In terms of martial arts, she is also a first-class master, and when she handed over at this moment, she was shocked to the point that her arms were numb, and she couldn't help but secretly sigh at Lin Xiaoyu's strong strength.
The two of them shuttled back and forth in the hut, and after a while, the small battlefield was unrecognizable in the fierce battle. The murderous atmosphere in the room is sultry, no matter how fierce the two fight, they always keep a certain distance from the bedside. The tense atmosphere was only imperceptible to Lin Xiaoyu's sleep.
Xiahou Yichen's expression was idle, and he maintained his original posture motionlessly leaning against the door to watch the battle, his calm expression couldn't figure out what he was thinking.
Dongfan Beiming, who was watching the battle on the side, secretly sweated for Gu Ruoyao, especially Beiming, Lin Xiaoyu had fought him, and Ruoyao County Lord would not be his opponent. On the surface, it seems that the two are indistinguishable, but in fact, Lin Xiaoyu is superior in both momentum and strength. His moves are both rigid and soft, even if the martial arts of Lord Ruoyao are not weak, he is still blocked from a meter away, which is enough to see the disparity in strength between the two.
"Master, ......what do you see?" Bei Ming couldn't help but be a little worried, after all, Lord Ruoyao had a special identity, if she had three longs and two shorts in the palace, it would be difficult to explain. However, Xiahou Yichen didn't speak, and he didn't dare to act without permission.
"Hey. Xiahou Yichen shook his head and sighed softly. "It's a pity. ”
The two of them were confused by the sudden words, and Dongfan couldn't help but ask, "Master, what do you mean by this?"
"It is a pity that one of the treasures in the house is not a priceless treasure, and it is so destroyed. ”
Looking at his regretful look, Dongfan twitched the corners of his mouth, the master has never been a stingy person, how can he care about those dead things at a critical moment. Before he could react, Xiahou Yichen had already slowly entered the house, "The princess of this king will not bother with Prince Laolin. As he spoke, he picked up the sleeping Lin Xiaoyu and left the house straight past the two who were fighting.
Lin Xiaoyu's face sank, thinking about the current form, the position between him and Lin Xiaoyu, there was no reason to stop him at this moment. For a moment, anger surged, and the moves in his hands instantly became fierce.
Gu Ruoyao gradually became a little weak, and her offensive was obviously weaker. Biting his lip tightly, he coped carefully.
Dongfan Beiming followed behind, and seeing that Xiahou Yichen didn't seem to have any intention of interfering at all, Dongfan said anxiously: "Master, are you planning to send the princess back to Shihuan Courtyard?"
"Is there a problem?" his gaze swept over him, and his indifferent tone completely ignored the two people who were still fighting fiercely.
Belch...... Looking at Gu Ruoyao, who was already at a disadvantage, Dong Fan said in embarrassment: "Then ...... the Lord Ruoyao here?"
"It doesn't matter, let them go. The magnetic voice was relentlessly indisregarded.
The two of them have black lines on their faces, the master is too direct and faceless, then it is the lord of Ruoyao, if something happens in the palace, what can I do? Now, don't say that Dongfan is in a hurry, even Beiming can't calm down.
After taking two steps, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and his thin lips said lightly: "That's it, Dongfan, drive them all away, and fight them out." ”
"Master, I'm afraid this is inappropriate. Beiming twisted his eyebrows and reminded him very scruples. Dongfan nodded approvingly.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work, it's really annoying. Xiahou Yichen's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, he looked down at Lin Xiaoyu who was sleeping in his arms, thought for a while, and then the light in his eyes appeared, and he immediately thought about it: "Dongfan, go, immediately set a fire and burn the Star Viewing Pavilion to this king." ”
As soon as the words fell, the two of them staggered one by one, almost not standing firmly. The look of horror and disbelief on Dongfan Beiming's face changed in turns, and it was wonderful.
Just now I regretted the destroyed jewelry, and in a blink of an eye, I didn't even want the house. Not to mention the bricks, tiles and trees worth tens of thousands of gold when the palace was built. It is all kinds of specially arranged in order to let the princess move in before the wedding, and it is also a rare treasure of great value just as well. Now if you say don't want it, it's really heart-wrenching.
"Why are you stunned, don't arrange it yet. The stargazing pavilion was on fire, and the princess lived in the courtyard in the future. If they still like to fight, leave it alone and let them burn in the fire. Xiahou Yichen showed an evil smile, as if he was very satisfied with his decision, which made people tremble strangely.
"Master, the Stargazing Pavilion is close to the Pick-up Courtyard, if the Stargazing Pavilion is burned, in case the fire spreads, the Pick-up Courtyard will be unavoidable. Dongfan said tangledly.
"It's really not good, just burn it, it's a big deal to rebuild. Dropping the words, someone quickly left.
Dongfan and Beiming looked at each other speechlessly, since the master has a life, then they will obediently set fire!
Early in the morning, before Lin Xiaoyou got up, she heard all kinds of noisy noises, which made her very uncomfortable. I wanted to get up in a daze, and I felt that my mouth was dry and I couldn't get up. "I'm so thirsty, come on, pour me a glass of water. Lin Xiaoyou closed his eyes and shouted weakly.
After a while, she felt someone put her arm around her neck to help her sit up and feed her water.
After being drunk all night, Lin Xiaoyu was dizzy, drank two sips and tried the comfort of the cool water source across his throat, like the hunger and thirst of nectar after a long drought, and directly held the hand holding the cup and raised his head to drink a few sips, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief.
"I've already ordered someone to prepare ginger soup, and I'll send it later." Seeing her weak appearance, Xiahou Yichen sat on the edge of the bed and said with concern.
"Headache. Lin Xiaoyou leaned on the head of the bed, stroked his forehead and patted it vigorously, trying to make himself sober. Damn, I drank too much yesterday, and the drunk person was unconscious, I didn't expect the taste of drunkenness to be so uncomfortable.
"Don't shoot it, what if you pat it stupidly? Drink the ginger soup and you'll be fine. Xiahou Yichen grabbed her masochistic hand and quipped.
Opening his eyes with difficulty, looking at the evil face in front of him, Lin Xiaoyou said in hindsight: "Xiahou Yichen, why are you here?"
"Then where does the princess think this king should be?"
Looking at him in a daze, Lin Xiaoyu's brain couldn't react for a while, and suddenly shook her head, she must have been dazzled, just now she actually saw a trace of tenderness in those phoenix eyes. After settling down, Lin Xiaoyou said in a low voice: "That, I want to bathe." "When she said this to a big man, her crimson face was very unnatural.
There is no way, the three of them are not there, and the smell of wine on her body makes even herself feel uncomfortable. Besides, after bathing, she should be more awake.
Xiahou Yichen was about to answer, when the door was suddenly pushed open with a "bang", and the two followed the reputation, only to see Gu Ruoyao coming in angrily: "Xiahou Yichen, you vicious guy, almost killed me." ”
"What's wrong? Sister Ruoyao. Seeing her angry like this, Lin Xiaoyou asked worriedly.
"Hey, Xiaoyou, are you awake?" Entering the inner room and seeing Lin Xiaoyou on the bed, Gu Ruoyao immediately put on a cheerful look and stepped forward, unhappily pushed Xiahou Yichen away, sat down on the edge of the bed, touched her forehead and cheeks with his hands up and down, and asked urgently: "How is it, do you still feel very uncomfortable now?" You came back drunk like that yesterday, but it scared me to death, don't do it if you don't drink." Saying that, he glared at Xiahou Yichen viciously, complaining that he didn't know how to take care of people at all.
It's not a loss to Brother Leng's fiancée, a pair of living treasures, and the speed at which the two of them change their faces is really a fight. Gently holding her hand, Lin Xiaoyou smiled and said, "Sister Ruoyao, I'm fine." But you, what's going on, so angry?"
It's okay not to mention it, as soon as Gu Ruoyao mentioned it, she immediately became angry, ignored Xiahou Yichen's secretly warning gaze next to her, snorted coldly, and pulled Lin Xiaoyou to ask angrily: "Xiaoyou, someone bullied me, you don't care?"
"Needless to say, you are my good sister, and you are the fiancée of Brother Leng, my sister-in-law, whoever wants to bully you, I will bully whomever you want. Let's talk about it, who bullied you?" With Gu Ruoyao's identity, who would dare to bully her except Xiahou Yichen.
Gu Ruoyao stretched out her hand and pointed at Xiahou Yichen, and said angrily: "It's him." ”
"Why did this king bully you?" Xiahou Yichen's smiling expression was full of threatening charm.
"Xiaoyu, you don't know, after you got drunk yesterday, I stayed in the Star Gazing Pavilion to take care of you. As a result, at night, for some reason, the stargazing pavilion caught fire......"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Xiaoyou exclaimed in a panic: "What, the Stargazing Pavilion is on fire, how can it be on fire?"
"Hey, Xiaoyou, don't worry, the fire has been extinguished. Gu Ruoyao hurriedly stopped her.
looked around, and sure enough, where was her room, it was clearly Xiahou Yichen's Shihuan Courtyard. After sleeping for so long, she was dizzy and dizzy, and she didn't even notice it. With a tight hand, he pulled Gu Ruoyao and asked anxiously, "Have you been hurt anywhere?" Sister Lan and them, how are they?"
"Don't worry, it's all right. Xiahou Yichen said.
Gu Ruoyao nodded, "Everyone is fine." ”
Hearing her confirmation, Lin Xiaoyou breathed a sigh of relief, no wonder he heard the noise outside in the morning, it must be the people who were cleaning up the mess. After thinking about it, she raised her head again and asked, "What about the little fox, where is the little fox?" The baby that Brother Leng gave her, it can't have an accident.
"That ghost elf, seeing that the momentum of the fire is wrong, he has already run out, should he worry about me if he wants to worry?" Gu Ruoyao said jealously.
Lin Xiaoyou smiled guiltily, "Okay, knowing that you have been wronged, why did Xiahou Yichen bully you?"
"I don't know which black-hearted guy set the fire, your good prince, took you away and didn't care about my life or death, I almost died in the fire. Gu Ruoyao glared at Xiahou Yichen angrily and scolded meaningfully.
He gave the order, but he wasn't the one who set the fire. As the culprit, Xiahou Yichen consciously excluded himself. "Xiaoyu is drunk and doesn't know anything, of course this king wants to take her away. As for you, it's not time to stand here. With an innocent look on his face, he showed no remorse for what he had done.
"Are you embarrassed to say it?" Gu Ruoyao roared angrily. looked at Lin Xiaoyu hesitantly, but finally didn't shake out what happened to Lin Xiaoyu last night. It's really strange that Xiao You, who doesn't know martial arts, actually has a senior brother who is super powerful in martial arts. Last night, if it weren't for the mercy of his men, I'm afraid it would have been buried in his hands. The most hateful thing is Xiahou Yichen, knowing that she is not an opponent, even if she doesn't help, he actually sets her on fire.
Lin Xiaoyou looked at this and then at that blankly, and asked suspiciously, "Why did the good one catch fire?"
Gu Ruoyao snorted coldly, and said in a strange manner: "This is going to ask your prince? The palace has always been strict, and he knows better than anyone how it caught fire." ”
"What's this?" Xiahou Yichen thought for a while and said with a smile: "Someone broke into the palace at night to assassinate, and the assassination did not succeed in setting fire to the mansion, so the specific reason for this king will not say much." ”
The thief shouted to catch the thief, and pretended to be a good person, Gu Ruoyao glanced at him with disdain, turned her head and said to Lin Xiaoyou: "Xiaoyou, since the Star Pavilion, since the Star Pavilion, why don't you move to live with me!"
"No, I can't. Lin Xiaoyou was just about to answer, but a voice couldn't wait to refuse.
Touching Lin Xiaoyou's obviously dissatisfied eyes, Xiahou Yichen explained: "Last night's assassin was extraordinary, even you were not an opponent, if Xiaoyou lived in the past, both of you would be dangerous, so it would be more appropriate to live in Shihuan Courtyard." ”
"Xiaoyou, look at him, he doesn't care if I live or die. Gu Ruoyao pretended to be a poor backer.
If she wants to live in Shihuan Courtyard and be alone with Xiahou Yichen's lonely men and widows, it will definitely not work. Lin Xiaoyou took the opportunity to say, "I can't go over, Sister Ruoyao, you can come over." Let's live in the courtyard together. ”
"Princess, Ruoyao County Lord and you are like sisters, but her martial arts are not enough to protect you, just by virtue of this, presumably Ruoyao County Lord is not willing to put you in danger, right?" Xiahou Yichen asked Gu Ruoyao with a meaningful smile on his face, and Chi Guoguo's eyes were full of danger.
I turned out to be busy, and the result was that the drunkard didn't mean to drink. Gu Ruoyao is not a vegetarian either, so she can see some of Xiahou Yichen's thoughts. Pretending to be dissatisfied, he changed his words: "Forget it, I'll live in my yard honestly." Anyway, the owner of the county was under the roof and had to bow his head. ”
"Rest assured, this king will definitely send additional manpower to protect the safety of the county lord. The trick succeeded, and Xiahou Yichen showed a satisfied smile.
Lin Xiaoyou glared at him fiercely, damn Xiahou Yichen, he shouldn't have thought of any bad ideas to tease her, right? Living with a scoundrel, he would have to go crazy sooner or later. But in front of Sister Ruoyao, as a princess, she can't refuse directly. Really, Xiahou Yichen, a stinky fox, is more cunning than a little fox.
"Princess, you have finally woken up, and the slave has prepared ginger soup and drank it while it is hot to relieve hangover. As he was talking, Duoduo slowly walked into the house with ginger soup, put the things on the table, picked up the soup bowl and blew it carefully, and then handed it to Lin Xiaoyu next to the bed.
Lin Xiaoyou smiled, and just stretched out his hand to take it, his eyes swept to her bandaged hand, and he couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "Duoduo, what's going on with your hand?"
Duoduo hurriedly hid his hand behind him and shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay, I accidentally burned it just now." ”
"It's hot, why are you so careless, be careful not to hurt yourself in the future." Lin Xiaoyu had just woken up, and he was still a little absent-minded, but he didn't doubt it much.
Although Gu Ruoyao knew it in her heart, considering that Lin Xiaoyu had only been drunk, she didn't say much.
"Princess, the hot water has been prepared, do you want to bathe now?" asked Duoduo after serving Lin Xiaoyu after drinking the ginger soup.
Bathing? is with her mind. Lin Xiaoyou stretched out his sore arms and legs and got up with difficulty. Yesterday's plan, the net has been cast. If nothing else, Lin Qingyue should not be able to send it to the door by herself, now is not the time to be lazy, it is better to prepare well. Thinking like this, his weak gaze swept over Xiahou Yichen's face, I don't know if he knows about the restaurant, I hope he won't be so angry that he will strangle himself to death at that time.
Feeling Lin Xiaoyou's gaze, Xiahou Yichen smiled back with a heartfelt smile.
