Master's deceased?
She pinched the short sword stuck in her belt, thought about it, and still turned her head, the man was still at the mouth of the alley, half-leaning against the wall, waving a folding fan, and smiling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Wen Xi went straight forward, every pore around his body was full of vigilance, and when he got close to this person five steps away, Wen Xi gently spewed out a warm breath from the end of his nose, and his lips pursed slightly.
"Am I so scary?" He laughed.
Wen Xi stared at him suddenly, her eyes shining like a night owl in the darkness, and she bowed her back slightly, calculating that if this man's hand moved, she could immediately bounce up and give him a deadly sword.
"Huh." He smiled again, as if Winsey's current appearance was amusing to his eyes.
"Don't worry, if you stab me hard, I will definitely not be able to dodge." He said with a smile, and with a wave of his fan, gently lifted his hair.
Wen Xi froze, and sure enough, he didn't see any crisis from his posture, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Is that all your master taught you?" He laughed again.
Master! Wen Xi stared at him for a moment, "Who are you?" ”
The man had a relaxed attitude and smiled, "Do you want to know?" ”
Wincy's lips pursed tightly, almost turning into a line, Master...... Does he know where Master is?
He laughed, "If you want to know, come ahead." ”
Wen Xi wanted to grab him and ask him carefully, but her hand couldn't move half a minute, it had been two full months since the master disappeared, she came to Beijing with Du Yu all the way, and she didn't know a word of news, she gradually became frightened from the initial sadness and loss, she thought that the master was superior in ability, and nothing would happen, but after reading Du Yu's letters, she was a little unsure, if the master really encountered an unknowable danger, how could she stay safe and do nothing?
Wency slumped his shoulders in frustration and looked at the man of unknown origin in front of him.
*
The capital is very large, much larger than any city that Wen Xi has been to, in the capital these days, she does not often go out, so she only roughly figured out the direction, such as the imperial city in the north, Du Mansion in the northwest of the city, most of the nearby residences are the mansions of some dignitaries, Duyun Lake is in the west of the city, there are many villas and gardens of rich and noble families on the west bank, in the afternoon she went to the courtyard of Mrs. Fang with Sujun, right there.
Now that she followed the man, sitting in an inconspicuous blue cloth carriage, she listened to the sound of horses' hooves, and walked on the stone roads in the city, and had never left the city, Wen Xi was slightly relieved.
She was still staring at this man, he claimed that his surname was Leng, called Leng Shuzhu, this name was really lonely and lonely, but it seemed like a pseudonym.
Wen Xi also sorted it out in his mind, and among the people who came and went with the master, there was no one with the surname Leng. However, she doesn't know the origin of the master, although she has been with him for more than ten years, but the master never talks about his past, he is well-versed in the past and the present, both civil and military, and he has such a good appearance and bearing, Wen Xi sometimes thinks, how can he be just a hermit in Qingmeng Mountain?
The carriage walked for a long time, and finally stopped, and when Wen Xi got out of the carriage, and when he looked at the sky, it was already moonlight.
Leng Shuzhu smiled and made a gesture to her, Wen Xi was stunned, the place they were in was actually a place surrounded by lakes, and not far in front of them was a lonely pavilion, only a zigzag nine-curved bridge led to it.
There was a man in the pavilion, whose face was obscured by the hanging light gauze bamboo curtain, and he was playing the qin, and Wen Xi did not know much about the music and did not know the music.
Leng Shuzhu waved his fan and smiled: "Girl, please." ”
Wen Xi looked at him and said, "Where is my master?" ”
Leng Shuzhu smiled again: "I haven't said this before, the girl remembered." ”
"You ......" Wen Xi was stunned, she was concerned and confused, and her mind was full of confusion, indeed, he had never said that she had come with her, and he would tell her where her master was.
Wen Xi's face turned pale.
Leng Shuzhu smiled: "If you come, you will be safe, why don't you let go of some of your hearts?" ”
The shore of the lake was covered with dense forests and was silent, and Wen Xi chuckled in her heart, she couldn't get out easily.
She walked alone along the nine-curved bridge to the lonely pavilion. The night breeze was mixed with water vapor, a little cool, her clothes were thin, and she couldn't help but shiver.
She stood outside the pavilion, looking at the light yarn in the pavilion, the lonely lamp swaying, and waited until the song was over before she spoke: "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
"Come in." The man spoke, and it was a man, and his voice was somewhat familiar.
Wen Xi lifted the curtain with doubts, entered the pavilion, and saw that the person in front of him turned out to be King Chen, the second brother called by Princess Shuyang. Under this lonely night moon, he is a little beautiful and indisputable, wearing a green shirt, his hair is sloppy, and his slender fingers gently pluck the strings, and the aftermath is endless......
Wincy stood stunned, not knowing what to say, her mind was full of all kinds of speculations, but she was denied them one by one, and the wind stirred her hair more and more messy, and poured into her neckline and cuffs, but she was like a piece of wood, and could not utter a word.
There is also a picture scroll on one side of Chen Wang's piano case, and the plain white rice paper reveals faint ink.
Wen Xi opened his mouth, still didn't ask, the scroll of painting, has not been framed, a foot long, half a foot wide, not wide, but the characters depicted in it are lifelike, a few days ago, or Wen Xi personally handed it over to Gong Darttou.
Gong Darttou has always had a reputation in the rivers and lakes, Wen Xi looks at his words and deeds, and he is also a straightforward person, he will not plan to meet Wen Xi in Pingshui. This painting, I think it was obtained by what means the King Chen in front of him used, and sure enough, at that hurried glance in the palace, Wen Xi was not asking for trouble for nothing, but there was really something wrong.
She cleared the mess of thoughts in her mind before she slowly spoke: "Little girl Wenxi, I have seen His Royal Highness King Chen. "She is still the lady of the house, and she should be very respectful.
King Chen raised his eyes, chuckled, made a gesture for her to sit down, and said, "Few women have such a name, but what is the allusion?" ”
Wen Xi shook his head: "No allusion, my master...... When I was picked up, it was in Qingmeng Shanxi, so I had the word west. ”
Chen Wang smiled lightly, as if he thought it was interesting, he raised his hand, took the scroll, and slowly opened it, his eyes were full of appreciation: "Master Ling has really not changed his appearance at all, and his style is better than before, Du Mingyi's pen is also superb, and he paints it vividly." ”
What the! Wen Xi's heart rang like thunder, he knew Master?
"You, my master...... You ......," she said in a moment of excitement, unable to finish her words, "do you know where my master has gone?" ”
King Chen shook his head with a smile and said, "If I knew, I wouldn't have borrowed this portrait from you." ”
Wen Xi had thousands of questions, but she couldn't ask them, she swallowed all the questions, just showed some disappointment, and said, "Oh......"
"It's just...... Although he paints alike, he still lacks some brilliance and has lost a lot of sharpness, I don't know if he is such a person in Du Mingyi's eyes, or has his temperament changed a lot over the years? Chen Wang said again, he smiled a little lightly, as if he was just casually teasing.
Wen Xi couldn't help but ask, "You are very familiar with my master?" ”
She didn't pay attention to herself, and forgot to show respect to him.
Chen Wang didn't care much either, just smiled and said, "I think it's very familiar, he probably doesn't think so." ”
"Yes......" Wen Xi's doubts in her heart are getting bigger and bigger, she knows most of Master's friends and friends, if they are really familiar, she can't not know, if it was before Master adopted her, it has been more than ten years, people who are very familiar with each other, they have not been in contact for more than ten years, and it is impossible to be familiar, not to mention, this is a prince, the pride of heaven who is high in the sky, Master He ......
Wen Xi thought about it, and remembered Du Yu's letters, what the letters said, I didn't know very well, I just happened to mention the affairs of the imperial court, as well as the border neighbors, etc., Master He exchanged these letters with Du Yu, so Wen Xi really didn't know the secret in his heart. Involved in these things, the disappearance of the master made Wen Xi more and more uneasy.
Let alone...... Wen Xi immediately became a little vigilant, Du Mansion seemed to be very close to the King of Zhou, the meaning of Du Yu's words seemed to be involved in the throne dispute, then this person was the opponent of Du Mansion, she is now living in Du Mansion, does he want to get some Du Yu things from her?
No, it's still not right, there are many more people who know Du Yu than her, she is an outsider, and no one will think that she is important to Du Yu.
Wen Xi's mind was very confused, as the saying goes, more words are more wrong, less words are less wrong, she simply was silent, and looked at King Chen in a daze.
King Chen still smiled, "How has your master been doing all these years?" ”
His tone was as if they had known each other for many years.
Wen Xi replied: "It's not bad, Master often says that the breeze and the moon are clear, and you are at ease." ”
"Huh...... The breeze and the moon are at ease......" he repeated, the last of his words still melted into a smile, "For him, I don't know if this is a helpless sigh, or if he really wants to be benevolent." He said lightly.
Wen Xi was speechless, she didn't know the purpose of this person, and she didn't dare to answer easily.
He asked again, "Are you living in Du Mansion now?" "That's knowingly asked.
Wency just nodded.
He smiled, "How do you live?" ”
Vincy nodded again.
As soon as he raised his hand, a person emerged from the shadows, and King Chen said: "Go and tell Du Fu, please ask Miss Wenxi to stay for a while, please don't worry about it." ”
"What?" Wen Xi looked up suddenly, a look of surprise.
The man hid away, and King Chen smiled and said to her: "I am an old friend of your master, I haven't heard from him for many years, and I am very worried. ”
Wincy was speechless.
