Chapter 15: No Clues
Xiao Jiu was very depressed, and there was no Muzi by his side. There is no one who can provide for kicking. I had to look at the bright moon in the sky and sigh.
Suddenly, I saw a tall voice standing upstairs on the cornice. He held the jade flute in his hand, but he didn't pick it up. Dark, deep eyes staring into the distance. The black kaftan swayed in the wind. The full moon with the white moon corresponds to Cheng Hui and the stars. It seems that the stars and the moon are all obedient to his feet.
Xiao Jiu swallowed. I haven't seen my true face for so many years, and I don't know how beautiful or ugly I am. Think about your mother, it should be beautiful.
Looking around, although she has no martial arts, her escape skills for many years are still good. For example, climbing a tree! locked onto the big tree that was relatively close to the main building, and struggled to climb up.
In my heart, I slandered in my heart, not only a noble person like a prince can think about the moon from above. climbed the old high, and from the angle, there is still no Wang Ye Gao. I had to keep trying. The spring breeze is cool in the evening, I don't know if the trees are too tall or the wind is cool. I gradually felt a little shaky.
The prince had already noticed the movement here. Without blinking an eye, he listened quietly. But she couldn't figure out what she was going to do? According to her train of thought, in the middle of the night, she thought she was climbing a tree and digging out birds' eggs.
The evening breeze of spring was fierce, and I watched her get closer and closer to the top of the tree, swaying. Inexplicably, I pinched my heart, and I thought that this person didn't want to die for food, if he could go to Jiangdu, he would definitely like the food in Guangjulou.
Just as I was thinking about it, I saw her slip under her feet, and she fell backwards. Chu Yinghan looked like I knew, stepped a little, and flew away. Just caught the pale Xiao Jiu. With a hug of his hand, he fell to the ground lightly. Xiao Jiu immediately squatted down. He stood up and jumped up again before he spoke: "I was scared to death, I thought my life was over." ”
Seeing that her face was back to normal, the prince looked up at the treetops. Gently one by one, a few turns, and in an instant you were at the treetops. Didn't stay either. Suddenly, it fell in front of Xiao Jiu again.
Stretched out his palm coldly and arrogantly: "Huh"
Xiao Jiu froze and saw that there were two small bird eggs in his hand. Seeing that Xiao Jiu was delayed. A little annoyed, he said coldly: "No more, if the mother bird comes back, there is not one left in the nest, and it will not live." ”
What? Feelings, this thing thinks that he is desperately climbing so high just for these two eggs, and he is here to reason with himself in order to save a bird's life. This prince is really worried about the country and the people.
changed his face, subconsciously wanted to do the gift of a noble girl, suddenly reacted, exaggerated and hugged his fists and said: "Thank you, Lord Wang, I just want to go up to the top of the tree to see the scenery, not for this." I'll send it back again. ”
The prince's face changed slightly. "You don't have to work hard, the adult bird will self-destruct if it smells different. ”
"Then thank you Lord Wang. “
Xiao Jiu hurriedly caught it, this one is not going to be answered. Isn't it unpleasant for yourself? The two small eggs were put in his hands, and he immediately wanted to spread the word that the undefeated god of war Ying Wang Ye actually took bird eggs for himself himself.
Seeing that she was happy, the prince's face was also much more relaxed. looked at her eyes brightened again, but she was secretly worried. When you arrive in Jiangdu, you must let Zihuai go to Luanguan to find more people, it is difficult for him to really be a man. But this man is too much
The smiling face didn't last long, and immediately cooled down. I don't know why I always forget my identity as a man in front of Prince Ying. has been with Muzi for so many years, and has never shown his stuffing. I think the prince is also very strange.
It seems that if she leaves, she naturally knows what she looks like at the moment, let alone a man, a normal woman would not allow such an ugly man. But the prince sometimes looks at her very different colors. Even if there is a hidden disease. With someone as handsome as Zihuai by his side, he should be the only one.
Maybe it's because I'm suspicious of myself, so I'm always observing. It's like he can transmit sounds, and he never tells himself. And the autumn rain of Shenlong Villa must be his person. The white dragon whip is so precious, just give it. The person who also said that she was the crown prince, how could she believe it.
The source of the mother's poison has not been solved, if you have to follow him to find out. Not to mention that it was the prince who offended. Even the crown prince will not have anything to do with the death of his mother. That's because my father is just a general who protects the country, and he has always supported the prince, even if he offends her, he shouldn't be killed by his mother, who is not favored on weekdays.
No matter from that aspect, the clues he wants to find have nothing to do with the prince. What's more, I feel that the prince has been tempted, and he is always distracted, so it is better to leave the Medicine Master Valley and go their separate ways. Go back to Jincheng to find Muzi. Maybe with his own slow inquiry, who has been to Jincheng Taizhou and still has some clues.
The two of them walked side by side, and they seemed to have something on their minds.
Half-loud, Xiao Jiu couldn't stand the silence, and said, "Lord Wang, why don't we say something?"
“?”
Xiao Jiu rubbed his head awkwardly and said, "I'm afraid of going out and scaring people on weekdays, so I always stay in the hospital." It's okay when no one is around, but once Muzi is around, I can't stop talking. If there is someone around you who is still so quiet, you will always feel dangerous. "
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt that his tail was exposed. Immediately smiled heartily: "Haha, some mothers, right? I haven't been tall since I was a child, and I'm still thin." Muzi always said that I am not a man, and a woman is not a woman. But he can only say it, and if someone else says it, he will always shake his fist. ”
"Oh, what do you say?"
"It's just a matter of the neighborhood, Muzi doesn't want to recall the past, he doesn't seem to be from Dongli, because the team has been plotted, and his legs and feet are inconvenient. He was expelled from the city. Later I healed his leg. So let's talk about the market. ”
As he spoke, he became excited: "Lord, you haven't lived in the market, let me tell you, it's interesting." For example, the butcher Sun on East Street chased him for half a mile because a wild dog took a piece of his meat. When I came back, the stalls were gone. There is also Granny Meng on West Street, who always comes to my place to ask for medicine, and every time she says that she is offended by ghosts and gods. Headache is terrible. She took my medicine and asked the goddess to recite it to her. Obviously it was good after taking my medicine, but it was said that the goddess was meritorious. “
After chattering for a long time, the prince spoke: "Then will you talk about the past?"
Xiao Jiu was stunned, and said with a shallow smile: "I was sick when I was young, and then I was afraid that I wouldn't be cured, so my father threw me away." So all I remember is that I kept healing, and then I was mixed up with the beggars. Actually, those people are very good, I have a brother named Ermao, who will know that. He said I was ruthless enough, so he recognized me as a big brother. “
Xiao Jiu said to himself, smiling very satisfied and yearning. The prince stopped.
"Ruthless?"
"Hehe, actually, when we were young, the army in the city arrested people, and we have been hiding in the graveyard in the desert. Sometimes we steal and eat the sacrifices that people put them. You know, there are very few people who sacrifice in the wilderness. For a while, his daughter-in-law also begged with me when she was a child. She was dying of hunger. I heard that there were worshippers one day, and when we went in the evening, a pack of wild dogs was also eating the offerings. I was so crazy that I rushed to bite the dogs and scared them all away before I got the food. “
There was some inexplicable emotion in the prince's eyes, and he sighed lightly: "It was not easy for you to live as a child. !”
Xiao Jiu immediately collected his thoughts and smiled faintly. "On the contrary, I felt that I was really alive at that time. The days are long, and I don't know when my good days will be and when will be my hard days. Easy or not easy just from the heart"
"It's a good one, this king asks you, do you want to stay in the Medicine Master Valley as a disciple, or do you want to go with me?"
"You want to go?" Xiao Jiu didn't just answer the question directly, but asked in surprise.
"Well, there was a lot of chaos in Jiangdu. ”
"If you want to go back to Jiangdu, I will naturally go back to Jincheng. Xiao Jiu smiled heartily, but there was a trace of inexplicability in his heart.
"Muzi is no longer in Jincheng, what are you going to do when you go back?"
"How could it be? Muzi had an accident?
Looking at her worried face, the prince did not delay: "I don't know who leaked the news, the prince learned that it was a fake plague, and he sent troops angrily." Fortunately, I couldn't let my father know, so I was a step slower. Zihuai and Su Lao arranged for people to flee to avoid danger. ”
Xiao Jiu was stunned, and asked again: "Where did Muzi go, I'll go to him." ”
The prince was dissatisfied, and a trace of darkness flashed on his face. He looked at her with cold eyes, as if he wanted to see through his heart: "He is so important?"
"Of course!" Xiao Jiu made no secret of it. He also emphasized: "Muzi is like my brother and my father. He takes care of all my big and small things. I can't be left adrift by him. “
Only then did the prince take his gaze. My heart trembled, couldn't it?
After calming down, he said: "Don't worry, although I don't know where he goes, Zihuai regards him as a brother and will not wronged him." It's you, the prince is angry this time, and he will investigate repeatedly. Muzi is the initiator, and he won't be unable to find out, if he finds Jincheng, you will also suffer, so it's better to go to Jiangdu with me. ”
Jiang Du, Xiao Jiu's eyes fell. The cause of death was not found. How to have a face and go back. What if you meet your father and sisters? But Muzi must have been hiding for two or three years. The brothers could no longer be allowed to take risks during this period. How do I find clues?
Seeing her hesitation, Wang Ye said lightly: "Or you stay in the Medicine Master Valley, and it is not a wrong plan to be an apprentice to the teacher." When I see Muzi again, let him come to you. ”
"No, no, no, you definitely can't stay in the Yakushi Valley. The miracle doctor punished people for not being able to eat at every turn, but I didn't stay. After speaking, he continued in his heart: "No wonder those children look weak. There's no difference in size with them. But he is a teenager, and he is 17 years old this year. ”
The corners of the prince's mouth turned up slightly, and he continued to put on the set. "Or you go to Jiangdu with me to play for a few days, Jiangdu has a Guangju Building, and my father and emperor will never forget the dim sum in it. “
Sure enough, Xiao Jiu's eyes lit up, and she could eat the red bean crisp. When my mother is pampered, there will always be hot red bean cakes delivered to the house. There is also pea yellow in Guangjulou, and I drool when I think about it. “
I couldn't help but ask, "Then where do I live?" I was obviously afraid that I would be too close to the General's Mansion. If you ask, you have already promised to leave.
The prince turned the jade flute in his hand. said lightly: "You are a man, there is no inconvenience in accommodation, if you don't want to live in Yingwang's Mansion, go to Zihuai Mansion." "
"What? General Zihuai has a mansion? Is he married?"
"Well, my father's reward is just a courtyard away from the palace. ”
