"What? What does Chiba mean by that? ”

Wu Kuang glanced at her, "Childe has his own intentions, I don't know, and I can't answer you." ”

Mo Chaoyun was originally just puzzled, but after listening to Wu Kuang's answer, he escalated to a sullen state. She knows Wu Kuang's temperament, if he doesn't want to say it, let her do all kinds of tricks, he can also close the exit tightly like a river mussel.

The sun was falling, and the light of the day was gone, leaving only a warm afterimage at the end of the sky.

The door finally opened, and Mo Chaoyun immediately turned around to look, only to see Qianye holding Luo Yusheng's hand and walking out.

Mo Chaoyun was stunned and looked at the palms of the two of them, and his chest churned violently for a while, and he didn't know what expression to use. Wu Kuang beside him was also very quiet, and the two of them looked at the two people who were holding hands and passed by, and neither said a word to each other.

Chiba led Luo Yushang out of the distance, and then his voice came: "What are you doing there?" ”

Mo Chaoyun woke up like a dream, she took two deep breaths, caught up, and was about to speak, but heard Chiba say: "Before you speak, you'd better think twice." ”

Qianye's words made Mo Chaoyun stunned, and the question she was about to blurt out was stuck in her throat, not up or down, but at this time, Luo Yushang turned around and shook her head slightly, so she finally didn't say anything, but the unhappiness in her heart began to accumulate to the point where she couldn't bear it.

followed Chiba downstairs, entered the hall of the main courtyard, and listened to him instruct Wu Kuang: "Go and call the master of the courtyard and Shen Guidu." ”

Mo Chaoyun was angry in his heart, so he said, "I'll go with Wu Kuang." ”

Chiba said, "You don't have to go." ”

"I haven't seen the master for a long time......"

Chiba said word by word: "I said, you don't have to go." ”

Wu Kuang motioned to her with his eyes to stop talking, and walked out of the hall. Only Qianye, Luo Yusheng and Mo Chaoyun remained in the house. Qianye took the initiative to sit on the main seat, and his eyes motioned for Luo Yushang to sit on the other main seat next to him, while Mo Chaoyun stood in the hall in a daze, like a superfluous person.

Mo Chaoyun frowned, looked at Qianye, his eyes were full of questions, but Qianye seemed to be unable to see at all, looking at his nose and nose, and sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai.

After a while, they came. Thinking that Shi Jiuwei and Shen Gui should practice martial arts in the backyard, both of them were dressed neatly and neatly, and their foreheads were slightly sweaty.

"See Chiba-sama."

Shi Jiuwei and Shen Gui almost spoke in unison, but Chiba slowly waved his hand, "I hope this title will appear one last time, from now on you will all call me Childe, call her," he said, pointing at Luo Yusheng, "Madam." ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, but Mo Chaoyun blurted out: "Whose wife?" ”

Chiba looked at her and said, "My lady." ”

What the? Mo Chaoyun couldn't believe that this could be said by Chiba, she said stubbornly: "You say it again? Whose wife? ”

"Rather than wasting time repeating, I think it would make more sense to talk to everyone about tonight's plans." After speaking, he glanced at the angry Mo Chaoyun again, "If you have any objections, you will mention them later, and now everyone listens to me." ”

"Tonight's session is important and I hope no one can make a mistake. As I just said, Luo Yushang and I are pretending to be husband and wife tonight, and the outsiders are new to this place, and they are rich and wealthy, and they are in a hurry to disperse their wealth. Mo Chaoyun is a maid, Wu Kuang is a small maid, the owner of the courtyard is the nurse, and Shen Gui is the coachman. ”

After Qianye finished speaking, he glanced at everyone, "As for each other's names, I am Ye Gongzi, I will call Luo Yushang Yu'er, Mo Chaoyun is Xiaoyun, Wu Kuang is Xiaoshan, the master of the courtyard is Ah Jiu, Shen Gui is Lao Shen, the name is not complicated, I hope everyone will not be mistaken." ”

Chiba said as he instructed Wu Kuang to pick up what he wanted, "I'll only give you half an hour to digest and sort out what I just said, and in half an hour we'll leave for the gambling house around." ”

Shi Jiuwei asked, "Childe means that we will go to the gambling house tonight to scatter money?" ”

Chiba nodded, "It is said that Ah Jiu used to be a master of listening to dice in the army, I have three hundred taels of silver ingots here, and I want to buy a hundred times the silver overnight, is it possible to do it?" ”

An embarrassed look appeared on Shi Jiuwei's face, "It's all old, thanks to Gongzi's affordability, naturally there will be no mistakes." ”

"That's good." Chiba swept everyone again, "It's Ah Jiu and Xiaoyun who need to be disguised tonight, so you stay for a while, and the rest of us go out first, and we'll set off in half an hour." ”

After everyone agreed, they were about to go out, when they suddenly heard Chiba say again: "There is one thing I want to say in front, no matter what happens tonight, you must listen to my arrangement, if anyone dares to act rashly, don't blame me for being ruthless." ”

Chiba has always been detached, rarely so cold, but when he speaks like this, he has a kind of majesty that makes people obey his orders. Mo Chaoyun looked at him stunned, always feeling very strange. Maybe it's because the memories of getting along for half a month are too good, and she has almost forgotten his formidable identity as a demon venerable. At this moment, he was so high, she suddenly realized bitterly that some things would not change because of the stolen half a month.

After only Mo Chaoyun and Shi Jiuwei were left in the house, Chiba said: "Ah Jiu's mask is too conspicuous, so I will change your appearance tonight, if you don't want Mo Chaoyun to be there, I can let her wait outside the door first." ”

Shi Jiu was silent for a long time before taking a deep breath and said, "No need, it's just an old thing." ”

As she spoke, she put her hand behind her head and slowly untied the knot that tied the mask tightly, the knot loosened, and Shi Jiu Wei grabbed half of the mask and slowly removed it.

The mask that had been worn on her face from the beginning of the acquaintance style Jiuwei was finally slowly stripped off in front of Mo Chaoyun's eyes. She couldn't help but hold her breath, for some reason she always felt that behind that half of the mask, there was the biggest secret that belonged to Shi Jiuwei.

Sure enough, on the left cheek with the mask removed, there were traces of old wounds that protruded and deformed, and those marks were concentrated in the most plump and fragile parts of the cheek, and across the roads that converged all rivers, they converged into one shocking and shocking word: betrayal.

Mo Chaoyun was stunned and looked at the extremely humiliating words that were imprinted on Shi Jiuwei's left face, and he could hardly say anything. Seeing Mo Chaoyun's appearance, Shi Jiuwei slowly showed a cold smile, she raised her hand and slowly stroked the distorted and protruding marks on her cheeks, "It seems that no matter how many years have passed, this mark will not be diluted by half a point, even if this word is distorted and deformed, it can still be seen clearly at a glance." ”

Behind the word "rebellion" is the story of Shi Jiuwei, when she was only sixteen years old, but she had already become a soul-like figure in the Iron and Blood Army.

She was born in a family of military generals, but unfortunately her father had bad luck, and she worked hard with her mother for half a lifetime, and only got such a daughter as her, so she lived a tomboy-like military career since she was a child, in order to soothe her father's grievances that he wanted to give birth to a tiger but only got a little yellow-haired girl.

Shi is not the surname of Shi Jiuwei's father who is a general, because her father is always looking forward to having another son, so her mother was angry, so she named her daughter her surname, and her father didn't stop it, but she didn't think that this surname would be used like this, and her father never had a boy in his life.

Jiuwei is the name of the stars, with her father's beautiful hope for a good man to fight on the battlefield and shine in all directions, but in the end this became his daughter's name.

Shi Jiuwei, who grew up under his father's disappointment and the pressure of the court, knew how to work hard, how to fight, and how to win since he was a child.

She had many followers of her, her subordinates, the people she saved, those who admired her, and those who feared her, but until she was over twenty-eight years old, no one liked her.

No one has ever come to the door to propose marriage, which has become the biggest headache for his father after Shi Jiuwei won his father's approval. It's just that those sour Confucian literati who talk about what kind of system women have become when they enter and leave the barracks don't like his daughter, but why don't any of the old colleagues and subordinates who raise their thumbs and praise every time they mention Jiuwei have never had the intention of marrying his family?

Once, the father and daughter talked about wine, and the old general was worried, some of them were drunk, and they chattered in a daze, and Shi Jiuwei sat upright, but said solemnly: "People who are not familiar with it have a lot of criticism because they don't understand, and those who are familiar are just because they are too familiar, so they will only hold back." ”

"Why?"

"They are accustomed to seeing me murderous, so how can they be willing to marry me into a family, share a bed, and live under one roof?" What's more, she had seen the most wolf side of them, and any man with a modicum of self-esteem would want his future wife to admire him, and who would want to be crushed by his own wife forever in the future? What's more, he has been scolded, beaten, and saved.

The men she knew always respected her more, and never thought about her as a man or woman, as if that was to blaspheme his brother who was born and died. And it is even more impossible for those literati who have no power to marry her, otherwise the family will be prosperous and the yang will be declining, and the husband will not be ridiculed as a laughing stock in the future? And she licked the blood from the knife and was murderous, and those men didn't have the courage to think about it.

The rest of the words, Shi Jiuwei didn't say anything to her father again, but she understood in her heart, but she didn't say it, and she no longer had expectations and longings.

At the end of the same year, the army was besieged in the mountains by a blizzard, and it was difficult to move forward. The plague spread in the nearby villages, many of the officers and soldiers in the army were infected, the military situation was urgent, and the enemy troops who confronted them were also closed to the door with a free battle card.
