Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Cunning Boy
[Ran^Text^Library] Holding the kitchen knife and shaking it, the little boy took a few steps forward, rolled his eyes, and looked at the wall.
Gu Xinyue shrank her head back.
"If I don't rob, what are you afraid of?" The young man took a few steps forward, blocked in front of the wall pier, and tilted his head.
The wall pier was not far from the mouth of the alley, and the sunlight penetrated through the alley, illuminating half of the little boy's body.
He was thin and weak, like a bamboo pole, and he was wearing no more than ordinary dark blue cotton clothes, and two patches, but they were clean, not even wrinkled, and they swayed on him, and the little face that reflected the mud whirring was all half-yin.
The pair of pupils on the face covered with mud and black ash seemed to be rippling like autumn water, as bright as stars, so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes off it.
If, don't think about what this guy just did.
Gu Xinyue twisted her head to the side, pretending not to see him.
The little boy's muddy mouth cracked, revealing a slip of white teeth, and said, "Give money!" ”
Belch! Gu Xinyue turned her head to stare at him and said, "If you don't study well at a young age, you actually learned to rob someone!" ”
The little boy glanced at the kitchen knife in his hand, put the knife down and said, "I'm not a robber." ”
"Then why are you asking me for money?" Gu Xinyue's eyes followed the kitchen knife and the belly of the kitchen knife
"Na, first, I was robbed, you didn't even watch to save me, don't say you're small, you're not far from the alley here, you can shout for help, but you didn't, so you owe me!" As soon as the little boy's wrist turned, the kitchen knife shook out a fine light, bent his eyes, curled the corners of his lips and said, "Second, you watched the whole process how I wittily retreated from the enemy, right?" ”
Gu Xinyue nodded subconsciously.
"So, you have to pay me the observation fee, the two are one, seeing that you are young, I won't bully you, you are good, so you will give it to me."
The little boy's head was raised slightly, although his face was full of mud, Gu Xinyue could see the smugness and arrogance on his little face.
"Observation fee, you're big!" With a snap, Gu Xinyue slapped him on the head and said angrily: "Actually blackmailed your aunt and grandmother!" Look for death, right? ”
"The gentleman doesn't move his hands!" The little boy covered his head and shouted, and the kitchen knife in his hand drew a circle in the air with his movements, flashing a knife light.
"Stop!" There was a loud shout in the distance, and the two turned around at the same time, and saw a handsome young man rushing towards this side with an awe-inspiring murderous aura while tying his belt.
As soon as the little boy put the knife away, he ran to the other end with a whoosh, shouting as he ran: "Dead girl, you remember it for me!" ”
Gu Xinyue gave him a middle finger, then immediately put her hand down, looking pitiful, and looked back at Gu Mohan, who had already swept in front of him in an instant.
"Delight!" Gu Mohan's footsteps forcibly stopped the momentum on the ground, and he didn't look at the direction in which the child ran away, he only nervously swept Gu Xinyue again, and picked up her arm again, after seeing that she was indeed fine, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Are you okay?" ”
"Nothing." I still wanted to be coquettish to win sympathy, but seeing the annoyance and worry in Gu Mohan's eyes, Gu Xinyue shook her head and said.
"It's not good brother, shouldn't ......" took a deep breath and swallowed the next words, Gu Mohan took Gu Xinyue's hand and said, "I've asked that guy to find the carriage......"
"General!" Before Gu Mohan's words fell, he heard a call from the entrance of the alley, and Qin Qi ran in.
Gu Mohan's face sank, and he said, "How did you find it?" ”
Qin Qi was stunned for a moment, glanced at Gu Xinyue with small eyes, scratched his head and said: "It's Lord Zhang who told us that you are out of the palace, we went to the Guogong Mansion, met Master Wei at the door, and then, and then ......"
Qin Qi's face was entangled, and his small eyes kept glancing at Gu Xinyue.
"If you have something to say, say it." Pulling Gu Xinyue behind him, Gu Mohan said in a deep voice.
"That, general, I was at the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and I heard someone scolding inside, as if it was an old lady, saying, saying that the sixth lady was shameless, and she actually eloped with someone before her father's first seven years." Under Gu Mohan's murderous eyes, Qin Qi's voice became lower and lower, and finally he simply lowered his head.
Gu Mohan's face was cold, but his heart was full of anger.
Even Qin Qi could hear it, thinking that Old Taijun Gu deliberately let those palace people who had not left also hear it, when the news spread, Gu Xinyue would not have to be a person in the future!
"Master Wei said that he has asked someone to prepare a carriage on Yizheng Street, so you can hurry up and get on the carriage over there." Seeing Gu Mohan's finger joints exploding, he didn't dare to deliberately provoke him again, Qin Qi said busily.
The corners of Gu Mohan's eyes suddenly twitched, he glared at Qin Qi fiercely, pulled Gu Xinyue and said, "Go!" ”
"From this side!" Qin Qi hurriedly blocked Gu Mohan and said, "Don't go over there, people all over the street have seen you wearing heavy armor, don't worry, Qin Fu will get it." ”
Gu Mohan turned on his toes, and then took Gu Xinyue to the other end.
Yizheng Street is close to the Guogong Mansion, one end of the street is connected to the Guogong Mansion, the other end is the mansion of the Marquis of Ning Yuan, and a medium courtyard in the middle is the mansion of the Cheng Tie Yushi in the imperial history known as the iron-faced imperial history.
As soon as you walk around the street, you can see a horse-drawn carriage quietly parked on the street, the shape of the carriage is simple but large, and the cloth flags hanging on both sides are printed with an eagle-shaped pattern.
Gu Mohan's eyebrows raised unconsciously, pulled Gu Xinyue to the side of the carriage, helped her into the carriage, and said, "You sit on it and don't make a sound." ”
Gu Xinyue nodded, quickly climbed into the car, and after lowering the curtain, her body trembled slightly from anger.
From her memory, she knew what the consequences would be if Old Taijun Gu said this.
His father eloped with someone before his bones were cold, and he was the county lord of the emperor's own title, and there was only one way to die.
Although she didn't think about it in the future, as long as she was allowed to leave the Gu Mansion, she would be able to find her way back in a few months.
However, this does not mean that she can forgive the dead old woman!
The carriage turned around, and after a short walk, a loud noise could be heard.
"Quick! I'll go out and find it, and I'll get that shameless slut back!" ”
"Mrs. Gu, please be cautious, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense!"
Hearing the roar outside, Gu Xinyue couldn't help but raise the curtain a little, seeing that the carriage was going to the gate of the Dingguo Mansion, her pupils didn't feel deep, and then she saw that the doors of the mansions on both sides opened, and there were many people who were watching the excitement, and her pupils were unconsciously bright again.
