Chapter Twenty-Four: The Winged Snake 3
Xuanwu replied very cleverly, making it impossible to guess whether her words were true or false.
Regarding Xuanwu's words, Lin Zhisheng nodded with a smile as if he believed it, and then reached out and returned the butterfly-shaped jade pendant in his hand to Xuanwu. Seeing this, Xuanwu naturally reached out to pick it up.
Who knows, just when Xuanwu pinched the sky-blue brocade thread tied at the top of the jade pendant and was about to take it back, Lin Zhisheng grabbed Xuanwu's wrist with his other hand.
"It hurt!!" Xuanwu exhaled softly.
Hearing this, Lin Zhisheng hurriedly let go of his hands and apologized to Xuanwu: "I'm really sorry, I was reckless!" I saw that the girl's wrist was so slender and fair, and suddenly I wanted to try to see if the woman's skin was really as smooth as brocade as the book said, but it accidentally hurt the girl, and I hope the girl will not blame me for my rudeness, otherwise I will have trouble sleeping!"
Xuanwu held the brocade thread tied to the top of the jade pendant that almost fell to the ground because Lin Zhisheng withdrew his hands in vain, and gently rubbed the Hao wrist that Lin Zhisheng had held with the other hand, and his eyes like obsidian were faintly filled with tears.
Hmph! It's a nice thing to say, if she doesn't forgive him, won't she be able to sleep well? Where is this for him to find the stairs for himself, it is obvious that she is pressuring her to give him the stairs! If she really asks the second young master of the Zhu Mansion, she will not dare to really deal with him, what a good plan!
Xuanwu sneered in his heart, but verbally he seemed to smile at Lin Zhisheng very reluctantly: "The little girl is not a big deal, please take the little girl to meet the second young master!"
"Okay, good, girl, please!" Lin Zhisheng bowed down with a smile and welcomed Xuanwu into the Zhu Mansion with a smile.
Bypassing the Pixiu Stone Screen, passing through the Hanging Flower Gate, Lin Zhiwu, who was walking in front, suddenly smiled sideways and asked Xuanwu, who was half a step behind him: "I don't know who the girl is, how can you know the second young master of my family?"
"The little woman is from Zouyang, Jiangnan. Three years ago, when the little girl came to Beijing with her father to visit relatives, she encountered a bully, and it was the second young master who rescued the little girl from the rescue. Later, because the relatives had already moved the family and did not find the relatives, the little girl returned to Zou Yang with her father. Xuanwu replied softly.
"The girl is joking! My second young master doesn't know martial arts, how can he save the girl from the bully?" Lin Zhisheng was still smiling.
"It's not the little woman rescued by the second young master, it's the little woman saved by the entourage next to the second young master. The little woman heard the second young master call the entourage 'Zhiwu', and the little woman thought that if the second young master hadn't let the entourage called Zhiwu come to the rescue, he would probably not care about the little woman's affairs. Xuanwu smiled calmly and answered without leaking.
"I have heard that Zou Yang is planted with willow trees, every March and April the city is full of catkins flying, like spring snow, extremely beautiful, but unfortunately I have never seen such a scene in Kyoto, since the girl's ancestral home is Zouyang, dare to ask if a rumor is true?"
Hearing this, Xuanwu first smiled lightly, and then corrected: "Little brother is wrong, Zou Yang plants more camphor trees, and more willow trees are planted in the Nanling area. Nanling and Zou Yang are separated by a hundred miles, and you can't see the spring snow in Zouyang. β
Lin Zhisheng smiled disappreciably: "Really...... That's my mistake. β
Along the way, Lin Zhisheng talked with Xuanwu in the south and the north, and his words seemed to be casual, but there was a sense of temptation everywhere, but all of Lin Zhisheng's temptations were skillfully resolved by Xuanwu one by one.
Zhu Mansion. Korean Hospital.
With Xuanwu bypassing the complicated rockery stones, walking up the high twelve-story stairs, pushing open the antique hollow carved two open wooden doors, Lin Zhisheng made a "please" gesture to Xuanwu who followed him.
Xuanwu looked up at Lin Zhisheng with a respectful face, smiled lightly and bent down at Lin Zhisheng, and then raised his legs and stepped over the doorrail and walked into the study.
"Zhisheng, you step back first!" Zhu Zimo's indifferent voice came from the study.
"Yes, sir. Lin Zhisheng responded respectfully, stretched out his hand to close the door and turned to leave.
In the study, Xuanwu saw that the door was closed, so he walked quickly to Zhu Zimo, who was sitting behind the bookcase in the inner room, but as soon as Xuanwu was about to speak, he was stopped by Zhu Zimo raising his hand silently.
When Xuanwu was surprised, he saw Zhu Zimo take out a wolf hair from the pen stand on the bookcase, and lightly dipped it in some ground ink, and then, Zhu Zimo held the pen in his right hand and pinched his sleeve with his left hand, and wrote four small seals on the white rice paper spread on the bookcase: the partition wall has ears.
As soon as he looked at those four words, Xuanwu understood why Zhu Zimo didn't let her speak. After thinking about it for a moment, Xuanwu knew what to do with the ears outside the wall.
I saw Xuanwu also take a wolf hair from the pen stand on the bookcase, dipped it in ink, and wrote something on the rice paper on which Zhu Zimo had written, while pretending to cry and crying: "Second young master, the little woman came to you this time to be forced to helpless, a year ago, the little girl's parents brought the little girl to Kyoto to make a living, but a month ago, the little girl's parents died suddenly, leaving the little girl alone. Originally, the little girl could live some money left by her parents, but just yesterday, the bully actually came to the little girl's door again, forced the little girl to marry him as a concubine, and said that if the little girl did not comply, he would forcibly occupy the little girl. The little woman tricked the bully into giving the little girl a day to pack up the soft belongings, and then she found an opportunity to come to you. Second young master, three years ago you saved the little girl from the bully, and three years later, the little woman begs you to save the little girl again!
"I'm not the cold-blooded and ruthless person, otherwise I wouldn't have saved you once three years ago, as long as I can do it, I will do my best. Looking intently at the words written by Xuanwu, Zhu Zimo took over the words very tacitly.
After a deliberate pause, Zhu Zimo spoke again: "Otherwise, from tomorrow onwards, how about you come to my Zhu Mansion to be a maid?" With my Zhu Mansion as your protection, the bully will not dare to do anything to you." β
The handwriting did not stop, but Xuanwu seemed to think for a moment before he said: "The second young master's intentions are understood by the little woman, but the little woman has a finger for the married husband, the little woman came to you this time, is to hope that the second young master can help the little woman find the little woman's fiancΓ©, if the second young master is willing to help the little woman, the little woman is grateful, and she will repay the kindness of the second young master by being a cow and a horse in the next life." β
Looking at Xuanwu's handwriting intently, Zhu Zimo said lightly: "So I won't force it, you write down the name of your fiancΓ© and hand it to me, and I will immediately send someone to find his whereabouts." β
"The little woman thanks the second young master, the kindness of the second young master is unforgettable. As the words fell, Xuanwu's hand that had been writing also stopped, and then gently hung the wolf in his hand back to the pen holder.
After being silent for a while, Zhu Zimo gently picked up the rice paper full of words on the bookcase, and then stroked the rice paper with his right hand only slightly, and the rice paper disappeared like air, without even a trace of ashes.
Frowning and looking at Xuanwu, Zhu Zimo asked coldly, "What you just wrote is indeed true?"
Xuanwu knew that Zhu Zimo must have opened his mouth at this time because the eavesdropping person outside the house had left, so he replied reassuringly: "Yes, master." Last night, his subordinates were originally ordered to go to Jiangnan, and when they came out of Kyoto, they remembered that the master of the Qifentang had asked his subordinates to deal with some things a few days ago, but the subordinates were not free in these days, so they temporarily changed their route to the Qifentang, but they heard about it on the road. Since they conspired in the middle of the night, they deliberately chose a remote mountain village where the two countries intersected, presumably to avoid people's eyes, but they didn't want to be overheard by their subordinates. Listening to their accents, one of them is still a good countryman. So, the subordinates guessed that there should be no falsehood in this matter, and it was the subordinates who hurried back to tell the master to know. β
"Why do you want to go to the mansion?" Zhu Zimo did not answer, but only asked Xuanwu.
"The subordinates met a few people doing evil things on the way back, and the subordinates couldn't see it and taught a lesson, but they accidentally suffered internal injuries, although they took the life-saving silver pill developed by the holy envoy in time, but in recent days, I am afraid that they will not be able to exert their internal strength, so they have no choice but to go through the gate to ask to see the master. Xuanwu didn't dare to hide anything, and replied according to the truth.
After listening to Xuanwu's explanation, Zhu Zimo's eyebrows frowned deeper: "With your skills, you can actually cause you to suffer internal injuries, can you know who the other party is?"
Shaking his head, Xuanwu said with annoyance: "I don't know, I haven't seen my face clearly at night." Although they are all mediocre, they are extremely insidious, and they spill poison while their subordinates are not aware of it, and their subordinates are accidentally poisoned and injured by them before they can dodge. If it weren't for the subordinates who escaped quickly, they would definitely not be able to stand in front of the lord safely. β
Leaning back in the chair, Zhu Zimo's voice was low: "I'm afraid that it's the Jianghu sect that went to participate in the martial arts conference, and next time I meet it, I don't have to worry about it." In this world, there are too many injustices...... Since he was injured, he put a haunt on going to Jiangnan. β
"Yes. Father. Xuanwu pursed his lips, and after struggling for a long time, he asked Zhu Zimo: "Master, my subordinates don't understand, why does the Lord want to help Da Liang? With the strength of the Lord, the Lord can completely stand up as the king! Why bother to succumb to the Da Liang royal family? If they want an alliance, let them form an alliance, if the world is really chaotic, wouldn't it be an opportunity for the Lord?"
Xuanwu really doesn't understand, for more than ten years, Zhu Zimo's thoughts have always been so strange, so Xuanwu has always been the one who doesn't understand Zhu Zimo the most. Especially when Zhu Zimo suddenly gave up the scientific expedition nine years ago, this was what puzzled Xuanwu the most.
With Zhu Zimo's talent, as long as he continues to participate in the palace examination, the champion and the first will be caught, but in the end, Zhu Zimo lost his armor and went home!
Hearing this, Zhu Zimo only glanced at Xuanwu lightly, and lightly spit out a sentence: "Xuanwu, you have exceeded the rules." β
The faint eyes and the faint tone made people feel a domineering and majestic person for no reason. Rao is Xuanwu, who had already killed people, was also scared out of a cold sweat.
Hurriedly lowered his head, his hands hung a little helplessly at his side and twisted his dress, Xuanwu trembled and said: "Yes, Xuanwu knows that he is wrong, Xuanwu will not dare anymore." β
Looking at Xuanwu, who was so cramped and timid, Zhu Zimo suddenly pulled up a smile, the smile was like a spring breeze in March, warming people's hearts, and people couldn't help but feel warm in their hearts.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Zhu Zimo's spring-like smile, but Xuanwu was so frightened that his legs trembled and he knelt straight at Zhu Zimo's feet!
