Chapter 232: Murderous
Zhang Hua looked at Mu Xiaofeng, who was standing with Xia Xingshen, and then approached Chu Lige with a hard head, arched his hand, and said, "Master, there is a situation." ”
Seeing his solemn expression, Chu Lige's heart moved, and he involuntarily raised his eyebrows and glanced at the purple-clothed girl who was not far away, and said lightly, "What's the matter?" ”
Zhang Hua took a step closer and quickly reported in front of him.
After Chu Lige listened, his eyes seemed to sink, and the aura emanating from his body seemed to be colder.
After thinking about it, he turned around and walked towards Mu Xiaofeng, but stood still in front of Xia Xingshen. The posture is still lonely and indifferent, but there is sincerity in the cold tone, "Please send her back." ”
The words please are very common, but when they come out of his mouth, they are not ordinarily amazing.
At the very least, Mu Xiaofeng was the first to be taken aback by his strange tone.
"What's going on?" The girl looked at him and frowned, "Is there anything we can do to help?" ”
Chu Lige glanced at her lightly, did not speak, raised his gaze slightly, and quietly stared at Xia Xingshen's face.
Xia Xingshen smiled, still lazy, "It's a matter of duty." ”
The implication is that she was taken out by him to enjoy the plums, and sending her back is a matter of great deed, and there is no need for your Royal Highness to solemnly ask you.
He sent her back, but he didn't let you leave His Royal Highness to confess his feelings.
Chu Lige didn't care whether he wanted to show merit or sarcasm, and when he saw that he should respond, he was slightly relieved in his heart. He turned his head to look at Leng Gang again, and then glanced at the girl whose little face was covered with coldness, and said coldly, "Leng Gang." ”
There is no follow-up, but Leng Gang understands what the master means, which is to let him stay and protect Mu Xiaofeng.
The brows couldn't help frowning, the originally cold and expressionless face darkened slightly, glanced at Mu Xiaofeng, and wanted to say something, but in the end, only a firm sentence remained, "Yes, subordinates obey orders." ”
After the arrangement was completed, Chu Lige wanted to leave, but before getting into the carriage, he seemed to remember something, suddenly changed his mind, suddenly looked back at Mu Xiaofeng, and said coldly, "It's okay." ”
The girl had a dark face, bowed her head indifferently, and resolutely did not look at him.
His Royal Highness is accustomed to taking other people's care inappropriately, and she feels that she should also let him feel the feeling of being completely ignored.
Chu Lige glanced at her silently, her eyes seemed to be stunned before leaving, Xia Xingshen looked at the girl who bowed her head and played with herself, and then joked with a smile, "The superfluous people are finally gone, Miss Mu, why don't we continue to make wine here?" ”
His low and lazy voice couldn't tell whether it was true or not, where was Mu Xiaofeng still in the mood to make wine at the moment, he shook his head directly, and got into the car by himself with his skirt.
After staying in the carriage and sitting down, he smiled lightly, "It's still the carriage of Lord Youxiang, which makes people feel comfortable." ”
Xia Xingshen raised his eyebrows, if she praised it once, he felt normal. If she had complimented her twice in such a nonchalant tone, it would have been nothing good.
"Lord Right Prime Minister likes to continue to be a cooking hero here, so this carriage will be borrowed for me for the time being."
Xia Xingshen showed such a look, and then smiled bitterly, and his body moved slightly and quickly swept onto the carriage.
picked up the curtain and entered it, and seeing that the girl was already completely in the posture of a master, Xia Xingshen immediately flashed a word in his mind.
However, this will make Mu Xiaofeng not feel good, so the word turned around in his mouth, and Lord Right decided that he still knew each other, and it was better not to bring it up at this time to stimulate her.
The carriage traveled in silence for a while, and Mu Xiaofeng simply closed his eyes to recuperate.
This closure, I unconsciously fell asleep in a daze.
When she opened her eyes again, it was because the carriage had suddenly stopped.
Zhang Mu was the first time, but when she saw Xia Xing sinking up and about to walk out, she was inexplicable in her heart, and immediately asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Xia Xingshen saw that he had woken her up, so he had to turn around and smile and say indifferently, "It's nothing, it's my people who stopped the carriage in front," After speaking, she felt that this would make her even more worried, so she said again, "It's probably business." ”
Mu Xiaofeng watched him get out of the carriage, and his heart became a little nervous inexplicably.
Even if it is a business matter, it is necessary to stop the car halfway to report to him, and it will definitely not be a trivial matter.
I don't know if it's her delusion, I always feel that Xia Xingshen's eyes looked at her a little weirdly just now, and he seemed to be slightly apologetic in calm, and his words were obviously soothing.
She is not a child, and Xia Xingshen has known her for a long time, so she should also know her personality, and she will definitely not be a person who panics when something happens.
Thinking about it like this, Mu Xiaofeng felt more and more uneasy in his heart, and the vigilance was immediately like an invisible wind, desperately pouring it into his heart.
She took a deep breath and lowered her face slightly to ponder in the car.
After a while, Xia Xingshen came back, his face didn't look very good, and the elegant lazy smile on the corner of his lips was especially there. But Mu Xiaofeng looked at it and always felt a little reluctant.
She raised her eyebrows, tilted her head and looked at him quietly, but did not speak.
If he is willing to say and she doesn't ask, he will tell her too.
On the contrary, she asked in vain. The choice is not in her hands, so why should she bother with this tongue first.
Xia Xingshen saw her staring silently, and somehow, he remembered the previous picture of Chu Lige's departure in his mind. At that time, her worry was undisguised. But this time, for him, he chose to be quiet.
She sighed secretly in her heart, hoping that the difference between her unintentional and unintentional was not so obvious. Obviously, he knew it at a glance, and he couldn't help but be depressed when he saw it.
But at the same time, he knew very well that this kind of differential treatment had been formed in her heart very early, and it was unintentionally expressed all the time.
He wanted her to be indistinguishable, apparently in a fool's dream at the moment.
Slightly unwilling in his heart, Xia Xingshen smiled and said, "My mother and younger brother went to Beijing a few days ago, but they encountered heavy rain a few days ago and were stranded in the town, and my mother's health has never been very good......
When Mu Xiaofeng saw his apologetic eyes, he immediately showed a smile that didn't care, and interrupted him loudly, "It's only half a day's journey back to Beijing here, you can go, Lingtang will definitely miss you very much." ”
Otherwise, he would not have sent a letter to him. Moreover, she estimated that things would definitely not be as light as Xia Xingshen said.
Mrs. Xia must have fallen ill in some small town, right?
By the way, he just mentioned the younger brother? Could it be that he is still an ignorant child?
But this is Xia Xingshen's family matter, and this will obviously not be the right time to ask him about this.
After a little hesitation, Mu Xiaofeng said, "That town is not close to here, right?" Why don't you take a carriage to pick up Mrs. Xia, and I'll ride back to the city." ”
Xia Xingshen just wanted to speak, but she didn't give him a chance, and said, "This carriage is more comfortable, Mrs. Xia should feel better when she comes back by taking it." ”
After Mu Xiaofeng finished speaking, he got up and was about to get off the car, but was stopped in the carriage by Xia Xingshen's long arm.
He smiled, his eyes were vaguely helpless and moved, "Miss Mu, you go back in the carriage, and I will ride a horse to pick up my mother." ”
"Don't refuse, listen to me first." Mu Xiaofeng opened his mouth, but he stopped him, "I can't send you back in person, I've broken my trust for the first time, you should make my conscience better, don't insist on this carriage with me, okay?" ”
When he looked at Mu Xiaofeng with a smile and sincere eyes, she actually felt that she couldn't refuse ruthlessly.
What's more, the three words "good or not" at the end, with a gentle and paleading tone, Mu Xiaofeng could only compromise and nod in his gaze in the end, "Okay, I'll take the carriage, and you ride the horse." ”
Xia Xingshen walked out of the carriage, looked at her, and said, "I'll leave someone to escort you back, don't shirk," he paused, looked at the girl's helpless and slightly gloomy face, and smiled, "You don't want to keep people, I have to send you back in person, and then rush to the town." ”
Mu Xiaofeng rolled her eyes secretly, this is the right-hand minister who is good at dancing with long sleeves, pinching her weakness and eating her to death.
The girl glanced at him, waved her hand dissatisfiedly, and muttered, "Hurry up and pick up Mrs. Xia." ”
Xia Xingshen smiled slightly, seeing that she agreed to keep people, his heart was a little relieved. Without hesitation, he got out of the carriage and went outside to explain a little, and then rode his horse in the opposite direction.
As soon as Xia Xingshen left, Mu Xiaofeng's vigilance in his heart was raised to another level. If Chu Lige left suddenly before, it would be a pure coincidence. This will make Xia Xingshen suddenly transferred away due to something else, and she will no longer be stupid and simply think that this is an accidental coincidence.
She believed that Xia Xingshen must have realized that something was wrong in his heart, and the reason why he still chose to leave must be that he had a reason to leave.
If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have pretended to be relaxed when facing her, but insisted on letting her go back in the carriage, and the most important thing that made her directly speculate that the situation was not good was that Xia Xingshen insisted on leaving someone for her.
You must know that it is only half a day's journey from here to the city, and it is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, so there is really no need for such a big battle, let alone such a rigorous and solemn battle.
She propped her forehead in the carriage and thought quietly about what danger awaited her next.
And Chu Lige and Xia Xingshen left one after another, what are they about to face.
But before she could think of a result, she heard Leng Yue suddenly whisper in a wary voice, "Miss, someone in front of you is coming towards the carriage." ”
"Moreover," Leng Yue's eyebrows were cold, and her face faintly showed a hint of nervousness, "The slave maid could feel that the person who came was light and fast, and he was full of murderous aura. ”
Murderous?
Mu Xiaofeng's heart was cold, in fact, she didn't need to be reminded by Leng Yue, she felt it herself.
Since she was reborn, her six senses have been more sensitive than ordinary people, and now it seems that she is on par with Leng Yue, who has good martial arts.
"I went to great lengths to get them away from me, so I was sniping me out of the city!" If such an assassination occurred in the city, a large group of Beijing officials in the city would not be able to sleep well at night.
But outside the city, it's different, as long as the emperor doesn't pursue it, other officials can pretend to be deaf and dumb
