24. Chapter XXIV
Shen Gui did not evade and said: "You should understand the truth that three people become tigers, no one wants to die, everyone is looking for a stand-in, and who is this stand-in?" Must be someone who makes everyone want to get rid of it quickly. Do you know that both the men's and women's houses are secretly voting these days? ”
Mo Chaoyun shook her head, she was a little unruly these days. I knew that I should hurry up the exercises, but I couldn't lift my spirits, and most of the time was spent in a daze, and sometimes I didn't do anything for a day, and I just wasted it.
Shen Gui frowned: "Mo Xun didn't tell you either?" ”
Mo Chaoyun shook his head. Mo Xun seems to have something to say these days, but she always avoids Mo Xun's topic, so in fact, the two of them have hardly talked in the past few days. In fact, she was weak in her own heart, and she always felt that Mo Xun had guessed her thoughts, so she was afraid that Mo Xun would take the initiative to ask her about what happened that day.
"There is a secret gamble in the Nineteenth Court, who will win the lottery in betting, do you know how much it is now?" When he said this, Shen Gui's expression was a little bad.
When Mo Chaoyun heard him say this, he suddenly had an ominous premonition. She asked a little dryly, "How much?" ”
Shen Gui made a gesture of three, and Mo Chaoyun breathed a sigh of relief, but he heard Shen Gui say bluntly: "Everyone buys one to lose thirty, and you will win the lottery." ”
What the?
Mo Chaoyun's face turned pale in an instant, she lost her mind for a while, and suddenly asked urgently: "You just said everyone, does that also include Mo Xun?" ”
Shen Gui shook his head: "Mo Xun didn't buy it." ”
Mo Chaoyun finally had a little comfort, at least there were still people who didn't give up on her.
"Miss Mo, I didn't know you before, so I had some complaints about your personality, but after getting along, I think you are still a fair and honest person, so I came to remind you that it is everyone's expectation that you win the lottery, if you don't win the lottery, they will lose a lot of money in addition to luck, do you understand the stakes? Now that you are expected by everyone, in this situation, I am afraid that the heads of all links in the Nineteenth Court are also involved in the gambling game, and no one wants to lose, do you understand your real situation at the moment? ”
How can you not understand? Everyone wants her to die, and she will die if she doesn't die. This Nineteenth Courtyard, which is like a gloomy swamp, is full of ambushes, waiting to destroy her in one fell swoop so that she can celebrate.
While Mo Chaoyun was discouraged, he thought of the meaning of what Shen Gui had just said, and said gratefully: "I understand what Brother Shen means, but if I win the lottery and exchange it with you, won't it involve Brother Shen in danger?" This kind of thing that harms others to seek his own life, I Mo Chaoyun can't do. ”
Shen Gui patted her shoulder arrogantly, and said, "I am not showing favor to you, but I have a gentleman's agreement with someone, if I exchange a contract with you, he will let me see Yingyu, that's all." You don't have to thank me, I'm not just talking about a gentleman who gives without expecting anything in return, but just takes what he needs. ”
After listening to Shen Gui's words, Mo Chaoyun's heart moved. I couldn't say what she felt in her heart, so she said tentatively, "It's Chiba-sama?" ”
Shen Gui nodded and said, "The day you told me to wait for the news of Lord Chiba, the head of the courtyard asked me to go and said that there was a letter to me. I won't tell you the details of the specific content.,In short, Lord Chiba said.,It's the fairest thing to do.,The silver and goods don't owe each other.,As long as I exchange a visa with you.,He will help me see Yingyu.,I also think it's very good.,So I agreed to him.。 ”
To be honest, Chiba did this, if she didn't move, it would be a lie. But thinking of Chiba's principles of action and Shen Gui's upright and bold in front of her, she always felt that Chiba was harming Shen Gui, although she knew that saying these words would destroy Chiba's plan, she still couldn't help but say: "How do you know that Lord Chiba is not tricking you?" According to you, you have not found your wife in the devil's cave for so long, maybe she is no longer in this world at all......"
"No way!" Shen Gui suddenly said angrily: "Yingyu must still be alive, I know she is still alive!" ”
"I'm sorry, Brother Shen, I didn't mean to worry you......"
Before Mo Chaoyun finished speaking, he was intercepted by Shen Gui: "You don't understand, that letter is the letter given to me by the courtyard master, it is Yingyu's handwriting, it is true." My wife, my Yingyu, she's alive, she's alive! I must see her! Even if it costs a lot, I want to see her! ”
Hearing Shen Gui say this, Mo Chaoyun finally relieved himself, "In this way, I wish Brother Shen to see Mrs. Shen as soon as possible." ”
Shen Gui nodded, and instructed uneasily: "Remember, be careful about the lottery you draw, and don't let anyone know the content of the sign." ”
"I made a note of it."
"Also, this is what Lord Chiba specially instructed me, let me sue you, you don't have to say anything about the visa change, including Mo Xun."
Mo Chaoyun was gloomy, and then nodded. The distance between life and death is so narrow that it seems that there is only one way, and only one person can lead to guò, and that person can only be himself. She had naively guessed and analyzed what Chiba had told her about the way to win, but she never thought about it from beginning to end, what to snatch the first lot, what to avoid the dead lot, this kind of uncertain effort is far less complete than sure that someone will go to danger in her place.
Between her and Chiba, there is more than a chess move, but now that the truth is revealed, it is actually a difference of 108,000 miles.
Mo Chaoyun secretly laughed at himself, what Qianye said was right, calculations and games of her level, if she didn't do what he said, it was really impossible to leave the Nineteenth Courtyard alive.
There is also a competition at the end of the month. Ye Zhu still hadn't found it, and Mo Xun also seemed worried.
"Didn't the courtyard master say that he wanted to confront us and Shen Gui face to face? Why don't you mention it all the time? Mo Xun, has the owner of the courtyard looked for you? At noon, on the way to the dining hall with Mo Chaoyun and Mo Xun, she suddenly remembered and asked.
Mo Xun said: "The courtyard master probably can't take care of it." I just went to the Huanyi room to get clothes, and I heard them say that there is a big event in the Nineteenth Courtyard today, and it seems to have something to do with the First Courtyard, according to them, they heard from Xin Huanniang, who was waiting next to the owner of the Academy, and asked us to hurry up and eat, maybe the owner of the Courtyard will soon convene the people of the entire Nineteenth Courtyard to announce the matter. ”
When Mo Chaoyun heard the words "One Courtyard", her right eyelid suddenly jumped, and she thought of Luo Yusheng and Qianye's request for Luo Yushang to come to the Nineteenth Courtyard...... Could it really be related to her?
During the meal, Mo Chaoyun was a little absent-minded. I thought that the news that Mo Xun said was true, but it was just after lunch, and before everyone returned to their rooms, they saw the Sile girl next to the owner of the courtyard coming to spread the word.
"The master of the courtyard has an order, ordering all the people of the nineteen courtyards to immediately go to the former martial arts field to gather, and there is something important to announce."
Mo Xun said: "It's so fast. ”
Mo Chaoyun felt that his right eye was beating more and more, and even the right half of his face looked very wooden.
In the afternoon, the sun was high, and the center of the former martial arts field was very empty and unobstructed, so in the crowd of black pressure, Mo Chaoyun felt a little dizzy.
On the west side of the center of the arena there is a high platform with seats. At this moment, the main style of the Nineteenth Courtyard Jiuwei is already sitting in the main seat. But the focus of everyone's attention is obviously not here, but the one on the main seat of the east high platform that is set up opposite the high platform on the west side.
That's a big show. I saw that her temples were towering, her skin was white and her eyebrows were thin, and her wonderful eyes were hidden behind a goose feather fan, looking bored. At her side, two maids fanned her, and behind her there was a peach-pink sunshade curtain like the emperor's canopy, and the tassels on it swayed in the wind, dazzling and dazzling.
But Mo Chaoyun didn't care about her, but the woman who knelt seven or eight steps away from this "mother". It's just a back, but that back is already beautiful. From the ink-dyed black hair to the graceful neck, from the delicate shoulders to the slender waist of the willows, even if she never looked back and smiled, she could judge from the natural good body that she was an out-and-out beauty.
It's a pity that the beauty suffered. Kneeling under the scorching sun, not to mention, she was also tied with her hands tied by five flowers, and her front temples were scattered and low to cover her delicate appearance, which looked particularly pitiful.
The beauty knelt humbly, but unfortunately the "mother" before seemed to be still angry, and from time to time she glanced at her with those peach blossom eyes, obviously hating her to the core.
Mo Chaoyun was a little surprised, difficult to judge. The memory of that night was messy, and before that, she was not familiar with Luo Yusheng, so at the moment, she was far away, and it was her back, and she really couldn't tell if this person was her for a while.
Someone behind him whispered: "Another betrayal from the courtyard, this time it will make the palace lady angry." ”
"Not only that, I heard that this is still this from the first courtyard, think about it."
Mo Chaoyun didn't look back, and he knew that what they said must have meant by Qiao. If this is the case, then the person in front of him must be Luo Yusheng. She was suddenly a little worried, Chiba asked Luo Yushang to find a way to leave the first courtyard and transfer to the nineteenth courtyard, but she was a weak woman, what good way could she do?
At this moment, he has made himself so wolf, and it seems that he has a tendency to make things bigger. Mo Chaoyun couldn't help but worry about her, although they met in Pingshui, but Luo Yusheng acted and talked that night in an elegant and pleasing manner, although Qianye told her to beware of Luo Yusheng, but Luo Yushang didn't hurt her after all, didn't she, how could she hope that Luo Yushang would have an accident because of her.
Seeing that the people in the Nineteenth Courtyard had almost arrived, Shi Jiuwei finally got up from his seat. Mo Chaoyun felt that Shi Jiuwei had a kind of bearing, as if this was not the small nineteenth courtyard in the Inhuman Pavilion, but a training ground where thousands of troops and horses gathered, she stood there quietly with her majesty, there was a momentum of overwhelming a million troops, it was also strange, was it because of the relationship between the half of the mask on her face? Mo Chaoyun also couldn't figure it out.
"I called everyone here today because the palace master of the first courtyard has a matter in the courtyard to be dealt with in our nineteenth courtyard, and it is only because of this matter that it is also related to the nineteenth courtyard, so I summoned everyone to announce that this is my usual rule, but I am so tired that the palace master is waiting hard here against the sun, and Jiuwei will sue first."
It turned out that the squeamish "Niangniang" turned out to be the owner of the first hospital! Mo Chaoyun was a little surprised in her heart, but obviously she was not the only one who was surprised, listening to the chattering voices around her, I thought that many people were also seeing this master of the first courtyard for the first time.
Seeing Shi Jiuwei say this, the palace master finally swayed up, put down her goose feather fan, and blessed her body slightly on the Shi Jiuwei partition, which was considered a return of courtesy. I only heard her then say: "Luo Yushang of the First Courtyard wants to betray the First Courtyard today and switch to the Nineteenth Courtyard, this matter has lost the face of my Gong Jiu, but this girl has made up her mind, and I can't keep her, at this moment, I came to the Nineteenth Courtyard in accordance with the rules, and please don't blame the master of the Nineteenth Courtyard." ”
As soon as these words came out, the entire martial arts field was boiling. It is not uncommon for people to defect from the original courtyard and switch to other courtyards, but it is the first time that someone who defects from the first courtyard and wants to enter the nineteenth courtyard has heard of it, so everyone is also very surprised when they hear it.
Shi Jiuwei also frowned when he heard Gong Jiu say this. She has also heard about this Luo Yusheng, after all, several courtyard masters often get together because of official or private affairs. I heard the masters of other courtyards mention that Gong Jiu is very satisfied with this Luo Yusheng, and has already presented Lord Hongyan to him, and is ready to propose a courtyard and send it to Lord Hongyan's ** hall. Now that there are such branches, it is also involved in the Nineteenth Academy, which makes the Nine Micro Sects a little confusing.
Thinking of this, she looked at the woman who was kneeling alone, and asked, "Miss Luo, do you know who are the people in the Nineteenth Courtyard?" And what kind of people do I want? ”
When Luo Yushang heard this, he knelt down and changed his direction to a straight face Jiuwei. Her sideburns were scattered, describing a wolf, but her voice was neither humble nor arrogant, and she said gently: "Most of the people in the Nineteenth Courtyard are some dead soldiers who carry out assault and assassination missions, I know. ”
When she said this, others didn't feel anything, but Mo Chaoyun was taken aback. It turns out that the meaning of the existence of the Nineteenth Court is actually like this.
Luo Yushang continued: "As a dead soldier, he is working hard for his master, so the requirements for martial arts are much higher than those of other courtyards. ”
Shi Jiuwei nodded when he heard this, and was about to say something, but he heard Luo Yusheng continue: "But in my opinion, the most valuable quality that a dead soldier possesses is not how outstanding his martial arts are, but whether his belief and consciousness in death are firm enough. ”
At this point, she finally looked up. The wind swept across her forehead, raising her hair to reveal her face, "Isn't the most important thing for a dead soldier not to be afraid of life and death to achieve the master's expectations?" Or does the Nineteenth Courtyard Master feel that ability is more important than having this determination? ”
As soon as she said this, there was an uproar in the audience.
Luo Yusheng's words were certainly surprising, but the shock of the people in the audience at this moment stemmed from her appearance. This Luo Yusheng, who is known as the leader of the first courtyard, this woman who can survive by natural beauty, how can she have such a face?
