For dinner, Xiao Baoer didn't come out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

As in the past, Uncle He never sat down, but always stood at the table and waited, waiting for everyone to eat before going to the kitchen to eat.

The crows, too, drank more than they ate food, and did not say a word throughout the meal.

Yao Xitong didn't eat much, and she always thought that Xiao Bao'er talked a lot in the past, and often reminded her that she didn't eat or speak. Now that people don't come, it makes the food less flavorful.

The three of them had a tacit understanding, no one mentioned Xiao Bao'er, they dispersed after eating, and they had nothing to say when they got together anyway.

The sky was slightly bright, Yao Xitong was awakened by the knock on the door, and the rhythmic knock knew that it was a crow as soon as he heard it. He asked, "What?"

"The princess was not in the room. ”

Six words scared Yao Xitong into a cold sweat.

The crow is not an ordinary person, he is not in his mouth, he definitely searched around and found no trace of Xiao Bao'er, so he came to ask what to do.

Yao Xitong hurriedly put on his shoes, and ran towards Xiao Bao'er's room before he had time to put on his clothes. After a closer look, he asked, "When did she go out yesterday?"

The crow said, "I saw her come back yesterday, but I didn't see her go out." ”

"Didn't hear anything?"

The crow nodded, and Uncle Ho, who followed silently, also nodded.

"The room hasn't been touched, she went out by herself, you two really didn't pay attention?"

He Bodao: "The old slave has been in the kitchen and has not paid attention to the door. ”

The crow thought for a moment and said, "The princess asked someone to buy the sheep, and I said a few words to the little girl who sent the sheep." The princess did not leave through the main entrance, she walked through the backyard. ”

Hearing this, the group came to the backyard.

The crow asked, "Childe, I used to be a scout in the army, do you need me to start tracking from here?"

Yao Xitong glanced at the distance between here and the back mountain, and preliminarily concluded that Xiao Bao'er's martial arts had recovered, and said reassuringly, "Since you are walking by yourself, you will naturally come back when you are hungry." ”

"It's going to snow, and if you don't chase it now, I'm worried that the snow will cover everything. ”

Yao Xitong was also very entangled, on such a cold day, he didn't know where Xiao Bao'er would go, and he didn't even understand whether the slap yesterday was really for the master. In addition to these, he also had a hidden worry, for fear that Xiao Bao'er would take the initiative to leave for Qingshanjun.

If that's the case, the crow won't be able to chase it back.

"Wait, her feet are on her, and you can't chase them back. ”

Snow begins to fall in the middle of the day, and by night the snow is already covering the surface of your feet. The crow circled around the back mountain, and all the clues that could find Xiao Bao'er's departure had been buried by the snow.

This night, Xiao Baoer still did not return.

Yao Xitong carefully calculated the time, and asked Uncle He to send a message at dawn, informing all the guys in the bun shop to closely monitor whether there was any trace of Xiao Bao'er on the road from Chen Di to Song Land.

The news that was recovered in the evening was very depressing, Xiao Bao'er did not go to Song Land, as if she had disappeared out of thin air.

The crow was the first to sit still, so he didn't ask Yao Xitong for advice, and left alone to find Xiao Bao'er. This behavior was very puzzling to Yao Xitong, and he gave birth to a kind of suspicion that the crow stayed here for Xiao Bao'er.

Like last night, Yao Xitong sat at the table and read, turning a few pages but couldn't read it. He took out the bean eagle and put it on the table, the chubby little guy curled up tightly into a hairy ball because of the cold air, he poked the bean eagle's wings, "Lazy goods, just eat and don't work, go to your master." The bean eagle flapped its wings and flew away, and after a while flew to the table and tilted its head to look at him.

He sighed, Xiao Baoer didn't talk nonsense, Douying recognized things but not people. Whoever takes Xiao Bao'er's jade pendant, Douying will go to find that person, a few days ago, he left the jade pendant to the crow, and Douying can find the crow, and now that the jade pendant is on him, Douying naturally has no direction. "The stupid thing that won't recognize the Lord has raised you in vain. ”

He Bo entered with hot tea and said carefully, "Childe, do you want to stay up all night again?" I have already stayed up all night yesterday, and I can't do this today. The crow is the best scout, since he has gone to find it, you should also take a rest, so you can't bear to stay up like this. ”

Yao Xitong asked puzzledly: "I'm not good enough for her, why did you leave like this without saying a word?"

"Childe, she is a Liao person, and it will be a matter of time before she leaves us, unless you make up your mind to tie up with her. ”

"Needless to say, there is no affection between me and her, we are just friends. ”

He Bo shook his head and left, Xiao Bao'er was not difficult to get along with, and he was far from the rumored-looking hateful person. How could Yao Xitong not be tempted by such a beautiful and lovely girl all day long? It's a pity that the authorities are fascinated, he thinks that he can win Xiao Baoer's trust by taking out a little bit of sincerity, but he doesn't know that the relationship is mutual, and while Xiao Baoer trusts him, can he still get back his sincerity?

"Uncle He," Yao Xitong suddenly called out to the old man who was about to go out, "Pack your luggage, I'm going to Beiliao." After some hard thinking, he felt that Xiao Bao'er was most likely to return to Beiliao.

Before dawn, Yao Xitong blew out the oil lamp, moved his stiff body, time waits for no one, if he wants to find Xiao Bao'er, it is still too late to go to Beiliao. "Uncle Ho, Uncle Ho," he shouted twice, and the man who woke up like an old cat was a little late to react today.

Uncle He came after a while, and said with a puzzled face, "Childe, I heard a voice outside. ”

The snow stopped, the wind was still very strong, Yao Xitong listened attentively, in addition to the sound of the wind, he could indeed faintly hear other sounds. It's such a cold day, and it's the middle of the night, who will be outside. "Uncle He, did you hear it wrong, I didn't hear anything. ”

"Childe, the old slave went up outside and took a look. ”

"Wait, I'll go too. ”

The moon had been hidden behind the clouds for a long time, and there was a hill-like shadow moving slowly towards the end of the alley leading to Yao's mansion.

Yao Xitong knew that it was Xiao Bao'er, and there was no reason, he just knew.

"Childe," Uncle He looked at Yao Xitong's galloping figure and shook his head secretly, pretending not to hear anything before, deliberately concealing the fact that he would be martial. The body used at this moment is so exquisite, it is really concerned and chaotic.

In the dark night like splashing ink, Xiao Baoer struggled to drag a heavy object and moved slowly, feeling the wind in front of her, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Yao Xitong. Seeing that his clothes were neat and his hair was neatly tied behind her head, she asked, "Son, will it be a little early to go to the yamen at this hour?" ”

The strong smell of blood choked Yao Xitong uncomfortably, he took a closer look at the huge thing that Xiao Bao'er was dragging on the hill, and said dryly for a while, "You actually killed a bear." ”

"I shouldn't have hit you, I heard you want to eat bear paws, I caught one for you, it's an apology, okay?"

Yao Xitong couldn't describe the feelings in his heart, his mind was blank, and he blurted out a scolding, "You don't want to die, the blind bears of Maodong dare to catch them, how many lives do you have?"

"Hey......" Xiao Bao'er wanted to laugh, but her body fell into Yao Xitong's arms without a fight, and the moment she closed her eyes, she said, "The clothes are not bad, you don't have to feel sorry for the silver." ”

Yao Xitong felt that he must have offended a woman in his previous life, and God would arrange Xiao Baoer to his side. Say she's a woman, and listen to what she just said: I'm sorry for you and want to apologize, so I risked my life to catch a bear you want to eat. I didn't spoil my clothes, so you don't have to worry about the money. Is this what a woman should say?

The woman's apology should not be rubbing the corners of her clothes, her little face was flushed, and she sobbed with tears in her eyes and said: Brother Yao, this time it is the wrong person, and I will not dare next time, you forgive others once, and I will not dare to do it again.

I thought she was not a woman, and the body lying in her arms was so light, and her slender waist felt like she could break it with a little force. Thinking of Xiao Bao'er's safety, he arranged for Uncle He, "Get the bear in the backyard, don't let the early risers see the bloodstains." ”

He Bo was stunned for a moment before he started to do it, and he was also very curious about how Xiao Bao'er could hunt a bear with Xiao Bao'er's three-legged cat's kung fu.

The mink coat Xiao Baoer was wearing outside was not broken, and when she opened it, she saw that the cotton jacket inside was all blood. Yao Xitong put aside the gentleman's set, quickly took off her coat, and saw that her shoulder was scratched, and three blood marks were deep to the bone, she really risked her life to catch a bear.

Yao Xitong hugged Xiao Bao'er tightly, her chin lightly pressed against the top of her head, and said to herself: Silly girl, tell your father, do you want anything, can you do this?

Xiao Bao'er lay motionless for two days, and the crow looked at it once and asked several times. Yao Xitong repeatedly told him that Xiao Bao'er was fine, she was just sleeping, and she definitely hadn't closed her eyes in the past two days and three nights of hunting bears......

In the evening, seeing the crow coming out of Xiao Bao'er's room again, he asked very unhappily, "Who is your master?" ”

The crow said: "Since you said that you will follow the son, you are naturally my master." ”

Yao Xitong raised his voice and asked, "Really?" What he wanted was not perfunctory, he wanted an explanation why the crow cared so much about Xiao Bao'er, and actually went out to find someone without listening to his orders.

"Childe, you once asked me if I knew who you worked for, and I replied that you are very similar to the Empress Dowager, do you know what this means?"

Yao Xitong was shocked in his heart, thinking that the crow praised him for being very similar to the Empress Dowager, referring to the fact that they were as smart and cunning, didn't that mean that? What he wanted to express was......

"The first emperor ordered to kill all people with the surname Sima, and the empress dowager got the grace and followed the surname of the Son of Heaven to Xiao. As far as I know, many people with the surname Sima changed their surnames to Feng in order to take refuge. Childe knows what I'm talking about, right?"

Yao Xitong's secret that he had hidden for many years was put on the table like this, he forcibly concealed the panic in his heart, and said calmly, "You haven't answered why you are interested in Xiao Bao'er." ”

Raven smiled, "In my eyes, it would be more appropriate to call her Jerubaoer." During the Spring Festival, the four tyrants entered the palace to pay tribute, and once they returned to the fiefdom, the affairs of the empress dowager could not be concealed if they wanted to. The Sima family used to be powerful, but now it is a thing of the past. If you want to help them turn over, do you have any other choice than Yelu Baoer? ”

"I know what you said, but you still haven't said why you care so much about Xiao Bao'er. ”

"Because I'm a little disappointed in you. ”

"For one, you have not been able to make up your mind about the handling of Jerebol. If you want to use her, at least take a good look at people, she is fragrant, and you are not the only man who beats her idea. I should have tracked it down that day, but because you had feelings for her, you were afraid that the person who let her leave was Qingshan-kun, and you deliberately didn't let me chase it, which is very stupid. ”

"Second, I see that you and He Bo are not of the same mind, is his master really worthy of your follow? I don't want you to choose the wrong master, waste your time and energy in vain, the troubled times are coming, you must keep your eyes open to find the master. ”

"In the end, I care about Yelu Bao'er to make up for the mistakes you let go. If she wants to have something, what do you rely on to stir up the storm and fight for a place in this troubled world?"

Yao Xitong was despised, and the crow's words were to the point, he was just a strategist in the eyes of the crow, and the strategist had no master, so who did he plan for? The master had no soldiers, so how could he compete with others? Even if the bun shop had been in business for a long time, it was not worth a lot in the eyes of the crow.

In the turbulent world, intelligence is only a tool, and the most important thing is who hands the tool.

Thinking about it this way, his attitude towards Xiao Baoer is indeed problematic. is too emotional, and loses the calmness and sanity that a strategist should have. He asked:

"Why don't you forsake me and go to the Lord?"

"A giant like the Empress Dowager will fall to the ground with a bang, who knows what the next days will be?

Yao Xitong left with a smile, these days were too idle, so that he almost forgot his ideals and forgot the mission he carried.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and on such a festive and lively day, Xiao Baoer was lying on the bed moldy due to injuries.

One afternoon, Yao Xitong went to the yamen and did not return, and He Bo went out to buy vegetables. The crow, who was supposed to do something for Yao Xitong, returned to the mansion early, and seeing that everyone else was not there, he pushed open Xiao Bao'er's door and asked her with concern if she was getting better lately?

Xiao Bao'er pursed her lips and clamored to go to the patio to bask in the sun.

The crow looked at the sky and shook his head, it was so cold, even if it was basking in the sun, it was cold.

Xiao Bao'er bit the corner of the quilt and began to play tricks, the crow had no way to take her, and she was about to leave with a straight face. She suddenly said, "Don't tell my father about this." ”

The crow looked at her curiously, "When did you know?" ”

"When you give me money. ”

The crow's cold face suddenly had a smile, and he asked gently, "Why don't you continue to pretend?"

Xiao Bao'er blinked and said coquettishly: "I don't want you to tell your father about the injury, he will be worried!"

"Princess, do you know how precious your life is, even if you fall in love with this Yao Gongzi, you can't provoke Maodong's blind bear!"

"I'm stupid, how can I provoke the hibernating bear, it's this bear who takes the initiative to provoke me!"

The two talked so intimately, just because the crow was a spy buried by the king of Northern Liao in the Great Xia Palace.

Before Xiao Bao'er was going to Daxia, the king of Northern Liao had said that she should not be afraid in the palace, and there would be someone in the palace who would protect her. In the five years of Daxia, the grandmother and maid who went with her died and rebelled, but she was the only one who was safe and sound, and there was no accident. On the bright side, there is Xuanze protection, but secretly it is the crow who is worried.

This time I was scratched by a bear, it was really an accident!
