Chapter Seventy-Two

The two of them went out of the back door, and found that there were three, three, two or two officials around the house, and the purpose was very obvious, that is, to surround the people in the house to prevent retreat. Maybe he knew that there were few of them, and there were not too many officials around, seeing this, Mei Yanfeng couldn't help but feel a little more at ease.

Tightening the small hand in his right palm and trying to cover her behind him, Mei Yanfeng said in a low voice: "When you approach the official errand later, remember to hold your breath." ”

The jade slave hid behind him and trembled slightly, although he didn't understand why, but he still honestly said "um".

Sensing her uneasy feelings, he couldn't help but clench the little hand tighter, and he gently soothed: "Don't be afraid. ”

Yunu obediently said "um" again, but his little body was still shaking.

Mei Yanfeng frowned, knowing that it was useless to talk more at the moment, so he led her to continue walking.

Going to work in the middle of the night, several officials were already resentful, not to mention that it was still in the cold night of late autumn, blowing the cold wind one by one, cold and sleepy, taking advantage of the fact that the leader in charge went into the house to arrest people, and was not on the side, so they got together and muttered, and said some resentful words around the corner.

There are four intersections in Suanzhi Lane, and at the intersection where Mei Yanfeng and the two want to pass Guò, there are three officials, and the three of them have no standing faces, and they don't take tonight's errand to heart. Obviously, he had already figured out the situation in the house, and knew that the other party was weak and weak, and he was not an opponent at all.

When a few of them were talking nonsense without a word, they suddenly heard a movement behind them, and they were about to draw their knives, but it was already too late, and the three of them only felt that the white ash flashed in front of them, and a strange fragrance was inhaled into their noses violently, so that before a few people could cough, they had already rolled their eyes and fell to the ground.

The jade slave was startled, and the other little hand that was not held by him pulled up his sleeve, and said in a trembling voice: "Mei, Mei Gongzi......"

Mei Yanfeng grimaced, and touched her long hair with one free hand: "Don't be afraid, it's just a magic incense for self-defense, and it won't kill them." It is not advisable to stay here for a long time, and other officials will chase after you later, so let's leave quickly. ”

Yu Nu was even more frightened when he heard this, and didn't dare to say anything more, so he continued to run away from the alley and towards the remote place.

The two of them ran more and more deviantly, and the road under their feet gradually changed from bluestone slabs to bumpy dirt and gravel roads, and the rows of houses and buildings gradually disappeared into the back of their heads, replaced by patches of dry reeds in front of them, a lonely moon overhead, and a cold wind whistling from all directions, making the reeds rustle......

It was so quiet that it seemed that it was not the sound of the wind that was heard in the ears, but the howl of fierce and ferocious hungry wolves in the middle of the night, hiding in the dark that people could not see, flashing green eyes, revealing sharp and aggressive teeth, and penetrating people.

During the run, Yunu's bun had long been scattered, even her two favorite hairpins had fallen off, and a few strands of black silk drooped down from the side of her face, lining her appearance at the moment was both wolf and pitiful, in this almost deserted place, she was so cold that she shivered: "Mei, Mei Gongzi ......"

She clutched his sleeve, her eyes fell on him, and she didn't dare to look around, it was so dark, so black that there seemed to be ghosts floating everywhere, and just one look was enough to make her hair stand on end and tremble.

Mei Yanfeng held her little hand tightly and patiently comforted: "Don't be afraid, I'm here." ”

His voice was as gentle and low as ever, and the jade slave was slightly stunned for a moment, feeling that he seemed to be a little different today, and it seemed that there was no difference. Before she had time to think about it, he led her out of the reeds and into a low slope.

Taking advantage of the shallow moonlight to look around, Mei Yanfeng looked at a thatched hut not far away, thinking that it was always inappropriate to stand in the cold wind and be frozen, so he had to find a place to take shelter first. He didn't care, but she couldn't stand it, so after hesitating for a while, he led her towards the hut not far away.

From a distance, it is a thatched house, but when you look closely, you can see that it is a broken temple of some years, the temple is overgrown with weeds, and you can see that no one has worshiped for a long time, and it has long been deserted. The door hung crookedly on the door frame, the black paint inside was indistinct, and it was expected that the spider silk inside was full of knots, Mei Yanfeng broke off a branch of a tree, pushed open the tattered temple door, and while cleaning the spider silk with the branch, he held her hand tightly and walked in.

Yu Nu is most afraid of this kind of place where he doesn't know whether there are gods or ghosts, and he almost closes his eyes all the way. At this time, she didn't care whether the man and woman kissed or not, for fear of being separated from him, so she grabbed his cuffs tightly with her little hands, and followed him tremblingly, and the tears in her eyes endured and endured, and never let it fall.

She didn't have time to pay attention to when the person in front of her stopped, until her squeamish nose hit his hard back, and the pain came, and she reacted in hindsight. Holding his sore nose, he cried out in the end.

Mei Yanfeng naturally noticed it, turned around and said apologetically: "Is it strict?" ”

When she really cried in front of Mei Gongzi, Yu Nu felt a little blushing and uncomfortable, so after she sobbed twice, she hurriedly wiped away her tears, shook her head and said, "No, not strict." ”

"Crying so fiercely and not being strict?" Mei Yanfeng felt even more apologetic, "Blame me for not talking to you before stopping." ”

Yu Nu really stopped crying at this time, she only felt embarrassed when she heard the words, she lowered her head, and her voice was small: "Don't blame Mei Gongzi." ”

In this situation, it is really not suitable to continue this topic, so Mei Yanfeng stopped and did not answer again.

For a moment, the dilapidated temple fell silent. Yunu stood beside him, her left hand was still tightly held by him in the palm of her hand, her palm was already oozing with sweat, and her whole little hand was still a little painful, which was the reason why he was holding it hard. Thinking that her hand had been touched by another man other than General Wei, she couldn't help but panic in her heart, struggling to break free from his palm.

The palm suddenly emptied, and the soft and soft touch disappeared at once, Mei Yanfeng lost his mind for a moment, but he quickly recovered and asked her, "Is it cold?" ”

Yu Nu nodded first, but then shook his head the next moment: "It's okay." After answering, she asked the question that she had been wondering about all night, "Mei Gongzi, what happened?" Why did some officials come to arrest us? And where is the master? Will it be life-threatening? ”

After her questioning, Mei Yanfeng's expression was solemn again: "Brother Wei's martial arts are outstanding, as long as the other party does not use tricks, I believe that his life will not be in danger." On the contrary, it can also beat the other party to the ground. ”

After hearing this, Yunu's brows still did not stretch.

In her sixteen years of life, she had never experienced anything like tonight, which was truly thrilling. After escaping from the house, the two of them avoided officials all the way, stumbled all the way, and finally came to this dilapidated temple where they couldn't see their fingers. Right now, she is cold and tired, scared and afraid, and her feet in the embroidered shoes are also beginning to ache faintly, which is very uncomfortable. There was no light at the moment, and if there was light, he would have seen his little bloodless face and frightened eyes.

After a while, the jade slave spoke softly, with a hint of fluttering and trembling in his voice: "Then how long are we going to stay in this temple?" As soon as the words came out, his eyes couldn't stop being sour, and he wanted to cry but tried his best to hold back, looking very pitiful.

Mei Yanfeng couldn't bear it at all, but he had to tell her truthfully: "Going back now is equivalent to throwing yourself into a net, and for the sake of safety, you can only stay in this broken temple for one night." As for tomorrow, let's see you then. ”

Yunu guessed that this was the case, and she did not speak again, her hands still clutching his sleeves tightly, as if this would be safer.

Mei Yanfeng left her, and after a while, he thought about whether it was inappropriate to always stand like this, so he found two old chairs with missing arms and legs and covered with dirt in the corner, took them out and threw them on the ground, and after splitting them, he picked out the seat of the chair and placed it on the ground next to the wall, and then tore off the corner of the robe and put it on the surface before signaling her to sit down.

Yu Nu sat down carefully, still holding his cuffs in his hand and refusing to let go, Mei Yanfeng's movement to take off his robe was blocked, and he couldn't help but say: "Just let it go, soon." ”

Yunu hesitated for a moment before slowly letting go of his fingers.

Mei Yanfeng moved quickly, took off his robe and covered her body, and then sat down beside her: "There is still a period of time before dawn, you might as well close your eyes and rest." ”

Yu Nu grabbed his cuffs with one hand, and grabbed the robe with his temperature with the other, trembled his eyelashes, and replied: "Isn't Mei Gongzi afraid of the cold?" ”

Mei Yanfeng replied: "What are men afraid of cold? You just wear it, don't be polite. ”

She was quiet for a while, and suddenly whispered, "Mei Gongzi is a good person. ”

Mei Yanfeng was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he smiled meaningfully: "Mei is not a good person. ”

Yu Nu was stunned for a moment, then bit his lip for the next moment and ignored him. She hugged her knees and buried her face in her lap, silently hoping in her heart that the day would soon dawn, and that the man would be safe and sound.

Chapter Seventy-Three

Soon after, Mei Yanfeng also closed his eyes, but he was completely sleepy. In the dark, his handsome eyebrows were tightened, and he didn't say anything, but he was still worried about his friend's situation in his heart, and he didn't know where he was at the moment?

I don't know how long it has been, sleepiness suddenly hit, and when she twisted her eyebrows and was about to take a nap, her screams suddenly sounded in the originally quiet ruined temple. Her arm was grabbed by her, and she felt that she was trembling, Mei Yanfeng's heart froze, and she immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"There's, there's something crawling...... Climbed on top of the jade slave...... "She stiffened and didn't dare to move, goosebumps all over her body rose, her snow-white face was small, and there were crystal tears in her eyes.

"What's that? Where did you climb? "The tone is noticeably more relaxed than before.

"No, I don't know. In, on the neck of the jade slave......" she said, unable to hold back, tears falling down, "you hurry, hurry." ”

Mei Yanfeng hurriedly took out a small bead from his sleeve cage and stretched it out in front of her, the bead glowed with a glowing light, shining on her snow-white neck, and it was easy to see what was climbing on the snow-white neck. He basically guessed that it was a worm, and now he met her little face that was crying with pear blossoms and rain, so he didn't hit her again, but said: "Close your eyes first, and I'll catch you after you close them." ”

When the jade slave heard this, her little face became even whiter, the thing was soft, she also guessed what it was, out of sight, she immediately closed her eyes when she heard this, and cried in her mouth: "You hurry up." ”

Mei Yanfeng quickly caught the worm, threw it to the ground, and crushed it to death with his foot without hesitation.

Only then did the jade slave open her eyes, and she jumped up suddenly, refusing to sit on the ground again. He rubbed his neck vigorously with a handkerchief, and only when it hurt that he reluctantly stopped. After that, he looked at the glowing bead in his hand with tears in his eyes, and couldn't help but complain aggrievedly: "Why didn't Fang and Fang just take it out?" ”

Mei Yanfeng said apologetically: "I forgot for a while." As he spoke, he reached out to her hand again, very indifferently, "For you." ”

The jade slave was stunned for a moment, looked down at the pearl in his palm that was smaller than an egg and glowing, and shook his head: "This bead must be very precious, and the jade slave can't ask for it." Although she had never seen much of the world, she had heard of it, and knew that this kind of pearl that could shine at night was called the pearl of the night, and it was a rare thing.

Mei Yanfeng didn't allow her to refuse, took her hand and put it in the palm of her hand: "Always find a place to sit down and take a picture of it everywhere, in case something climbs on your body again." ”

Thinking of the creepy taste not long ago, Yu Nu's little face turned two points whiter, and then he no longer refused. After only a while, she whispered: "The jade slave will borrow it first, and return it to Mei Gongzi when it is dawn." ”

Mei Yanfeng was a little helpless, and his voice was lazy: "It's up to you." ”

Knowing that she didn't dare to sit on the ground anymore, so for the rest of the time, Mei Yanfeng roughly wiped the idle square table on the side with the corner of the robe that she had just torn off, and finally took a handle and helped her sit up.

Sitting so high all of a sudden, Yu Nu was still a little uncomfortable, she looked at Mei Gongzi, who could almost look at each other, and asked a little unnaturally: "Mei Gongzi doesn't sit?" ”

Mei Yanfeng said casually: "Mei is too heavy, it's not safe to sit on it, it's okay to stand for a while." Seeing that her face was uneasy, he smiled and comforted, "It's okay for you to have a small body, not only sitting, but also lying down if you are sleepy." ”

The jade slave will not lie down, not because she can't believe in Mei Gongzi's character, but because she feels that such a look is too rude, which will make the other party feel frivolous.

So she shook her head and didn't answer.

After being quiet for a while, Mei Yanfeng suddenly remembered something, and asked in a serious tone, "Is your foot injured?" "When he was catching insects for her, his eyes swept to the tips of her shoes, and there was a red color there, which must have been injured. Only she didn't say anything along the way, which surprised him.

"I knocked it twice, and it didn't matter." Yunu bit her lip and replied softly. It's not that she deliberately pretends to be fine, but she is afraid that the other party will be worried about checking her injuries for a while, and it is already very embarrassing for a lonely man and a widow to stay together at the moment, and she doesn't want to be more embarrassed, so she can only say this.

Mei Yanfeng did have the intention of taking a look at her injuries, and what he wanted was to wrap a bag of wounds for her, but now that he heard her words, he knew that it was inconvenient, so he didn't say anything more.

After dawn, the two of them went out of the temple, walked to a nearby stream, washed their hands and faces, and after a little tidying up, they chose another path back to Hulu County Street. Because of the injury on her foot, she walked very slowly along the way, and it was half an hour later when she reached the county street.

Not long after appearing on the county street, Mei Yanfeng noticed something unusual.

The morning market, which was supposed to be noisy and bustling, was now crowded with very few pedestrians, and there were only a few passers-by, all of whom looked panicked, and their feet did not stop, and they soon disappeared. Even the shops and stalls on both sides of the street are deserted. Some even closed the door of the shop and hid at home without showing their faces.

Mei Yanfeng led the jade slave, and finally found a restaurant that was still open on the street, and after entering, he ordered two bowls of wontons and two baskets of xiaolongbao and was about to eat when there was a commotion outside the door. His heart tightened, and before he had time to escape, a group of servants rushed in, and the portrait in his hand was unveiled, and he asked, "Have you seen this man and woman?" ”

Mei Yanfeng looked at it, and his face changed suddenly.

Secretly said that he had not shown his face a few times, but it was dark last night, and the three officials had not had time to see the faces of the two of them clearly, and they had already fallen to the ground. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't dare to take her back to the county street today. Now that these two portraits are so vividly painted, he is uneasy and at the same time, he is inevitably surprised.

He leaned slightly sideways, shielding her with his body, his brows furrowed, thinking of a way to escape.

Yu Nu's little face turned white with fright, and she shrank in front of him and trembled slightly.

Although Mei Yanfeng didn't say a word, he put his palm on her shoulder, as if silently comforting her.

The shopkeeper of the restaurant is an old couple over sixty years old, both are honest people, at this time the work has been trembling to come forward to recognize, the two are old, the old eyes are dizzy, recognize for a long time before I said: "This, this, I'm afraid I haven't seen ......."

The head of the official snorted, knowing the duties of these two old men, he didn't dare to hide it, and when he put away the portrait and was about to leave, his eyes inadvertently swept to see a man in noble clothes with his back to the door, and immediately asked, "Who is that?" ”

In just a short period of time, Mei Yanfeng had already quickly crushed the bun skin and dipped it in vinegar and pasted it on the faces of the two.

In addition, he also asked her to bite down on a bun, and only let go of her mouth when her mouth was full of oil. As soon as the two of them turned around, they were two men and women with pockmarked faces and extremely ugly faces.

The officials didn't think that he turned around and turned around to be such an ugly appearance, and immediately felt that he was really blind to this good figure, and he snorted again and was about to leave.

Before the others left, Mei Yanfeng pretended to be a timid scholar, and asked in a very incoherent manner: "Dare, dare to ask the officials what criminals they want to catch and catch?" ”

The head of the official was going to lead the rest of the people away, but he couldn't help but stop when he heard this, and scolded: "What criminal, Lao Tzu, I am looking for a nobleman!" ”

Mei Yanfeng was puzzled: "Expensive, noble? ”

The official who was the leader was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, but after thinking about it, he said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Today's master of the horse, that is, the former General Wei, can his friend be a nobleman?" After the official finished speaking, Xu felt that he had lost his value by talking to him more, so he immediately raised his expression and said in an unhappy tone, "If you haven't seen it, don't delay Lao Tzu's errand if you haven't seen it." ”

Mei Yanfeng pondered for a moment and said, "I've probably seen it in the next place." ”

The official had already taken two steps, turned around when he heard the words, and warned him: "If you know, you will say, it will not end well to lie to Lao Tzu!" ”

Mei Yanfeng frowned slightly, and replied: "Don't dare, can the official reveal a little more, what is the surname of the person that the master asked you to find?" ”

"Why?" The official frowned when he heard this, obviously he couldn't remember clearly, and he didn't know if the horse master said it or not, so he had to bump into the people around him, "Do you remember?" ”

The official who was hit by him was not very old, scratched his head, and said uncertainly: "Can ...... But the surname Mei? As he spoke, he looked at the people behind him, some nodded and some shook their heads, and they couldn't figure it out for a while.

The chief official was annoyed that he had no memory, and immediately knocked him on the head. Then he looked at Mei Yanfeng: "Just take it as a surname Mei, say it quickly, have you seen it?" ”

Mei Yanfeng basically believed that the other party was looking for nobles, not chasing "criminals".

After wiping his face and wiping the "pockmarks" off his face, he walked towards the officials, his waist was straight, and his face returned to a normal demeanor: "Here is one of the things you are looking for." ”

The officials were stunned for a long time, and after looking back and forth between the portrait and the real person for a long time, they were really sure. At the moment, they are a little weak: "Mei Mei Mei ......"

Mei Yanfeng raised his hand to interrupt his words, and his expression was faint: "Where is the general at the moment?" Lead the way quickly. ”

Everyone seemed to have changed at this time, and they were respectful: "In the county office, our master is entertained with good wine and food." Just, just waiting for you and ......" said and looked behind him, and when he looked at the beautiful woman who had wiped off the "pockmark" and looked amazing, he couldn't help but be stunned and obsessed on the spot.

The jade slave grabbed the handkerchief, hid behind Mei Gongzi, and frowned slightly.

Mei Yanfeng was a little displeased, and spoke again: "Then lead the way in front." ”

Everyone came back to their senses, didn't dare to take another look, and automatically gave way to the head, and the official headed by him said respectfully: "The sedan chair is not far ahead, and you two will walk a few steps further." ”

Soon arrived at the sedan chair, and before getting on the sedan chair, Mei Yanfeng saw that someone was posting portraits of the two of them on the street, and immediately frowned: "All the portraits are torn, and no one is allowed to remain." ”

How dare the servant not, Nuo Nuo should order it quickly, and no one dares to post one.

It wasn't until he saw that all the portraits were burned to ashes that Mei Yanfeng stepped into the soft sedan chair.

Originally, he carried two sedan chairs, but at the moment he only used one, outsiders didn't know, but Yunu understood what he meant. Knowing that he was not worried about being alone, she was very grateful to him in her heart, especially when she was taken care of by him last night, and she didn't know what to say at the moment, so she opened her mouth softly while she could still be alone: "Thank you Mei Gongzi." ”

Mei Yanfeng's tone was indifferent: "They are all their own people, so you don't have to see the outside like this." After a pause, he added, "Don't talk about the broken temple when you see him, just say that you and I escaped from the house in order to avoid the official errand, and we were cold and cold all night outside, and we almost died." ”

Yu Nu knew what he meant, so he nodded lightly: "Hmm." ”

Mei Yanfeng didn't speak again, and looked out the window.

CHAPTER XXXIV

The county magistrate's surname is Guan, and when he saw Mei Yanfeng and the others coming in, he stood up and complimented him very much, and then retreated with interest to facilitate his conversation.

Mei Yanfeng was still puzzled, and as soon as he saw Master Guan leaving, he immediately asked, "Brother Wei, what's going on?" How did a good person become a guest? So saying, he sat down opposite him.

Wei Guangyu sat on the chair and did not move, his eyes swept lightly from the little woman with a dirty dress and a not very clean face before replying: "Zhang Zeyu is now in a different place, if I don't become a guest, what will you do?" ”

Mei Yanfeng was startled and asked again: "What's the matter!" ”

Wei Guangyu made a simple statement: "If he hadn't forced me to be anxious, I wouldn't have asked for his dog's life in advance, and now it's okay, there is no need to hide and hide, and the day of returning to Beijing can be faster." ”

Mei Yanfeng was silent for a long time before he could barely digest it. He said: "Brother Wei directly cut off his head, so he is not afraid of being killed after returning to Beijing. Impeach? After all, there is no evidence yet......"

His eyes swept over the little woman with a pale face on the side, and Wei Guangyu's tone was casual: "The evidence has been handed over to Zhizhou to handle, and the day when the account books of corruption and bribery, the forcible occupation of people's daughters, personal fraud, and other crimes are listed one by one, it is the day we return to Beijing." ”

There is no shortage of intrigues and steerers in the officialdom, and several governors under the Yuzhou Mansion are no exception. When Zhang Zeyu is there, he must be respectful, false and wronged, and now as soon as Zhang Zeyu falls, the trees are falling and scattered, all of them are cleaning themselves, for fear of causing trouble.

What's more, there are some people, he not only wants to get rid of himself, but also has the intention of inviting merit and flattery, without waiting for you to order the arrangement, he took the initiative to come forward and recommend himself, and he was not afraid of people's words to take this job, and it was false to share his worries and solve problems, and he really wanted to take advantage of this promotion and make a contribution.

After listening to his friend's statement, although Mei Yanfeng felt that he was too impulsive, when he thought about the other party, he couldn't say anything more, so he simply shut up.

He didn't mention it anymore, and Wei Guangyu didn't bother to talk about it anymore, his eyes turned to the little woman who was cowering beside him, and he frowned slightly: "What are you doing there?" Why don't you go freshen up? ”

He just didn't name him, and Yunu knew that he was talking to himself, so he immediately raised his eyes to look at him, and said in a low voice: "Where are you freshening up?" ”

"When you go out, someone will lead you."

In this way, the jade slave went out of the room.

Standing in front of the door for a while, I saw a middle-aged woman dressed in jewels surrounded by the maid, as soon as she approached, she took her hand, her shrewd eyes kept looking at her, the amazing look in her eyes was difficult to hide, and she said with a smile: "The girl is really a heavenly figure." And he said, "You really shouldn't keep the girl waiting for a long time, freshen up, right?" Please come here. ”

Yu Nu was a little uncomfortable being held by a stranger, so he quietly pulled it back, pursed his lips and smiled faintly: "There is Mrs. Lao." "This is the county office, so the woman in front of me who is not badly dressed is the lady of the county.

Mrs. Guan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled and praised: "The girl is really ice and snow smart, but I can't afford this lady, if the girl doesn't see the outside, you might as well call me my maiden name, my surname is Zhu, my name is Peilan, and the girl calls me Peilan." ”

After speaking, there was a flattering and flattering laugh, in front of the person in front of him, who was enough to be his own daughter, he spoke and acted very tactfully, and he was not embarrassed and embarrassed at all.

Yunu knew why she flattered herself like this, naturally not because of her personally, but because of General Wei, and also because of his concubine Zhaoping, the eldest princess of Zhaoping, who is the imperial sister of today's Holy Mother. Compared with this Zhixian county the size of a sesame mung bean, General Wei's identity can naturally be called extremely noble, and it is reasonable for them to be so flattering.

It's really rude to call a person who can be his elder's name, and it's not good, so although Mrs. Guan asked twice along the way, Mrs. Guan was still called when Yunu called her, and she never really called her by her name.

Seeing her like this, Mrs. Guan had no choice but to give up, and she called herself Mrs. Guan. Treat her more enthusiastically, hold her hand with a smile along the way, and invite directly into the backyard.

After helping her into the room, looking at her face, Mrs. Guan smiled again: "The girl doesn't need to be taboo, the bath bucket in it is still brand new and has not been used once, it was originally a new bath bucket that I was going to exchange for a new one, and now the girl is here, just give it to the girl to use, and please don't worry about it." ”

Yunu did have some taboos in the past, but now when he heard this, he quietly breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Mrs. Guan." ”

Mrs. Guan hurriedly waved her hand and said, "This is all as it should be." Then he instructed the girl beside him, "Bring the girl's baggage." ”

As soon as Yunu took the burden, Mrs. Guan smiled as if she was understanding: "This is what General Wei sent to fetch not long ago, I think the girl must not be used to wearing other people's clothes, so she will wear the girl's own, and her heart is also comfortable." ”

Yunu breathed a sigh of relief again, it was true, it was always better to wear one's own clothes than to wear strangers' clothes.

When she bathed, she didn't ask the girl to wait, she walked into the clean room by herself, and after carefully washing her whole body, she put on her dress and came out with her long wet hair.

Mrs. Guan never left, just sat in the room and waited for her, and now when she saw her come out, she hurriedly stood up, ordered the girl to take a dry and soft long towel, and personally stepped forward to wipe her long hair: "It looks like winter is coming, and if you don't wipe it, you can catch a cold." ”

Yunu was pressed to the chair next to her and said embarrassedly: "Don't dare to drive Mrs. Guan, I'll come by myself." ”

Where can Mrs. Guan be willing, she wiped her long hair by herself, and finally basically wiped the water droplets, and then let her lie down on the chaise longue, and after spreading the long hair thinly in her hands, she took the small incense burner sent by the girl, and carefully dried her long hair. While drying her hair, she couldn't help but sigh and admire: "The girl is really a jade-like beauty, she is delicate everywhere on her body, look at this long hair, it is really like a piece of black satin, no one sees it and envy you in their hearts." ”

Yu Nu pursed his pale pink lips and said absentmindedly: "There are tens of thousands of people in the world who have better hair than me, and I am nothing." ”

Mrs. Guan stood behind her and frowned, realizing that this was not a master who liked to be flattered, so she did not say any more words of praise, but asked, "What is the girl's surname?" ”

"Jade."

Mrs. Guan naturally praised again: "The jade girl is really good everywhere, even the surname is so beautiful, no wonder she is a beauty who has captivated the city and the country." ”

Yunu smiled faintly and did not answer.

Mrs. Guan took the opportunity to ask her: "I see that General Wei cares about the jade girl very much, what is the relationship between the jade girl and General Wei?" After hesitating for a long time, Mrs. Guan asked what she had wanted to ask for a long time, and looked at her with a smile.

Yunu blinked, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Mrs. Kwan stood behind her and shrugged her shoulders, but did not ask her again.

Soon, a girl came to the front yard to spread the word, saying that General Wei was looking for someone, this person didn't have to guess, there was no doubt that it was this jade girl.

Although Mrs. Guan had the heart to make friends with her again, she thought of what her master had said to her, and she was also afraid of the moody General Wei, so she sped up her actions to dress her up, and after a while, she helped her to the front yard again.

But it was not in the original dining room, but in a well-paved guest room.

After sending the person to the door, Mrs. Guan retreated in a familiar manner, not staying any longer, and not daring to go in and salute the person, so she hurriedly walked away.

As soon as the jade slave general stepped into the room, the door behind her was closed by the girl guarding the door, she paused slightly, and then stepped forward and curtsied to the man sitting on the main seat: "Lord, general, general......"

She was a little uneasy and lowered her eyes slightly.

Wei Guangyu put down the teacup and said, "Where did you and Zifeng go last night?" It's better to say it word for word, or ......" He paused suddenly, and looked at her coldly.

Yu Nu was frightened, and said with a white face: "Last night, the house suddenly broke into the official errand, Yu Nu and Mei Gongzi escaped from the back door, and then in order to avoid the official errand, they have been exposed to the cold outside, and almost died......" She didn't know if he would believe it, although he said it according to Mei Gongzi's instructions, but he was also uneasy and frightened.

Wei Guangyu was silent for a moment, and then Fang spoke again: "Come closer." ”

The jade slave slowly leaned over, Wei Guangyu took her into his arms very lightly, looked at her with low eyes and said, "Didn't deceive the general?" ”

Yunu was extremely nervous, but she still shook her head: "No, no." ”

Wei Guangyu stroked her little face with his hand, and his tone was hot and cold: "Were you scared last night?" ”

Yu Nu shook her head habitually, and after a while, she immediately nodded: "Scared, scared." ”

Wei Guangyu imprinted a kiss on her forehead with pity: "Did you miss the general in your heart at that time?" Hoping that Ben will show up to save you? ”

Yunu was stunned for a moment, and nodded honestly: "Hmm." ”

Wei Guangyu's face paleated slightly, his arms hugged her tighter, lowered his head and pecked her slightly pink lips again: "Compared with you, Ben will trust Yu Zifeng more, I believe that he will not do anything rude to you, on the contrary, you ......" After a slight pause, satisfied to see her panicked and uneasy look, Wei Guangyu warned coldly, "Stay away from him in the future." ”

Yunu nodded at him obediently, but after nodding, she felt inexplicably aggrieved, and her eyes were slightly red.

Now, somehow, he couldn't see her grievances, so he immediately bowed his head again and kissed her soft and juicy lips.

The jade slave was forced to raise his face, silently bearing his strong and domineering kiss, and gradually sank into his arms......

Nearly ten days have passed, and the corrupt official Zhang Zeyu's accumulated crimes have been sorted out one by one, and after receiving the evidence, it is time for the three of them to leave for Beijing.

On the same day, the three of them took Zhu Lunhuagai's carriage and left Yuzhou Mansion under the watchful eye of everyone.

The one who drove the car was Master Guan's cronies, steady and proper.

The three of them sat in the carriage, Mei Yanfeng closed his eyes and recuperated, trying not to look at the two.

The jade slave was white and weak, and his body was soft in his arms, and he vomited in his stomach for a while, and he couldn't help but feel cold all over his body.

Close your eyes as if the horrible scene is still replaying in front of you, behind the carriage, between the two wheels hung a white bag dyed red, it dangled and swayed behind the carriage, for a moment, every time I thought it was going to be shaken out of the way, but it turned out to be no, still shaking.

She wished to go back a few hours ago, and she would not have asked him what it was out of curiosity, and this would not be the case at this moment.

As if sensing her abnormality, Wei Guangyu inevitably asked, "What's uncomfortable?" ”

It was okay for him not to ask, but as soon as she asked, she couldn't stop holding back tears, tugging at the hem of his shirt and begging him: "Can the general, can you not let that thing hang on the back of the carriage......"

Unexpectedly, because of this, Wei Guangyu frowned: "It's just a human head, this will be by your side, what are you afraid of?" ”

The jade slave couldn't wait to cover his mouth, she was forcing herself to forget what it was, but she didn't want him to say it loudly, she didn't know the taboo at all, it was like making it worse for her, and she became more and more frightened.

She said with tears in her eyes: "General, the jade slave begged the general......"

People have been dead for a few days, is he really not afraid of retribution for doing this? The jade slave was terrified.

Although Wei Guangyu cherished her very much, he was unwilling to compromise, he said: "The head is to be brought back to Beijing to be handed over to the hands of the saint, it is impossible not to hang up, this will be by your side to protect you, endure it and pass, what are you afraid of?" ”

The jade slave only felt desperate, and he couldn't communicate with him at all, so he fell ill because of the panic along the way, and even the trip was delayed.

On the second day of his stay at the post station, Mei Yanfeng couldn't look past it, and persuaded in the end: "If Brother Wei really wants to send the head to the hands of the saint, he can hire someone to send it, why hang it behind his own car and get bad luck." ”

Wei Guangyu was originally determined to send it to Ji Xun himself, but he saw that the little woman was sick in the past two days, and if he didn't blame himself at all, it would be a lie. Between protecting the little woman and scaring Ji Xun, after hesitating and hesitating, he still felt that the little woman was more important, so he agreed.

In this way, he explained to Mei Yanfeng to do it, and he went in to appease the little woman.

……

Ten days later, the Royal Palace.

When Gonggong Qu learned that someone outside the Forbidden City claimed to have sent a human head on order, he startled the boss, and his old face turned white.

Qu Xiaogong's father-in-law was not much better, a handsome little face that was not much worse than a woman turned white, and after the dancer drove out the little eunuch who came in to report, he followed his godfather and asked: "Godfather, what kind of case is this?" ”

Gonggong Qu's old face slowly recovered as usual, he glanced at his white and tender godson, and said in a sharp voice: "It's not like I've told you once or twice, why can't you have a longer memory?" Curiosity kills cats, don't you know? You still haven't taken to heart the truth of doing more things and talking less. Stay aside for me first, you godfather and I have to go in and report to the emperor. ”

Qu Xiaogong's face turned red when he was taught a lesson, and he shrank back two steps, not daring to follow again.

Not long after the emperor came down from the early dynasty, he was reviewing the folds at this time.

Gonggong Qu gathered his mind and went in to report.

Ji Xun was looking at the fold, and when he saw him coming in, he cast his eyes at him, and then when he heard his words, his eyebrows jumped heavily, his face turned pale, and he slapped the fold on the case: "Presumptuous!" ”

might as well the other party suddenly became angry, Gonggong Qu was undoubtedly startled, shook the old meat hanging down his face, and asked cautiously: "Your Majesty, how should this matter be handled?" ”

Ji Xun stood up, his face turned blue: "Let him roll as far as he wants!" ”

This "he" refers to the one who sent the head, Qu Gonggong understood in his heart, and when he shook the dust and was about to send someone to do it, he shouted again: "Come back, I mean to let the head roll as far as possible, as for the person who sent the head, bring me in, and I will interrogate and interrogate him properly." ”

"Wow."

After the interrogation was over, Ji Xun's face couldn't help but get worse.

Gonggong Qu hurriedly instructed the palace maid to send a bowl of soothing soup and put it in front of him: "Your Majesty, suppress the shock." ”

Ji Xun glanced at him: "It's time for me to suppress the shock, the emperor's brother-in-law is really a cold-blooded person who kills people without blinking, and now he doesn't say anything about cutting first and then playing, he even sent people to scare me, I see that he is really becoming more and more rampant!" ”

Gonggong Qu is good at observing words and feelings: "It's not because the emperor and His Royal Highness the eldest princess have always indulged him, so it's better to take this opportunity to convict him, extinguish his prestige, and let him know that Long Wei can't be angered......"

Ji Xun pondered for a long time and shook his head gently: "The emperor's brother-in-law is just a little prodigal on weekdays, but he still treats me well, and I am ruthless." ”

Gonggong Qu sighed in his heart, knowing that this general had admired that general since he was a child, and no matter how much he said, it would be useless, so he didn't plan to speak again.

Unexpectedly, he didn't speak, but the other party changed the conversation and asked him: "Is the news from yesterday true?" ”

Gonggong Qu was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "Naturally, it is true and accurate." ”

Ji Xun paused for a moment before he said, "Prepare for it, I will leave the palace tomorrow." ”

Every time he talked about this matter, Gonggong Qu felt distressed in his heart, and said in his heart, since you keep saying that the other party treats you well, even if this is the case, what is the matter with you coveting his woman?
