Chapter 62: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
Rong Xi raised her eyebrows, she naturally understood the meaning of Leng Yiwei's words, when it comes to the things she likes, she can't think about it and be ruthless, let alone the people or things she hates?
She curled her lips and smiled, "It's okay, the more this kind of person, the easier it is to deal with, willful and irritable, it is never the help of a person who has achieved great things, but the biggest stumbling block." ”
Leng Yixiu's smile was thin and cold, his eyes were unpredictable, his gaze was far-reaching, and the corners of his lips were a cold arc, Rong Xi turned his head to look at him, his side face was hidden in the dark shadow of the sun, and the lines rarely looked a little soft, but Rong Xi suddenly felt that the expression on his face was a little sad, reminiscent of the snow in Layue, and the slightest coolness seeped into his heart.
Rong Xi's heart seemed to be cold, and he only felt that Leng Yixiu's body at this moment exuded a strong aura of disgust, who was he disgusting? Seven princesses? He is such a man, who looks indifferent on the outside and doesn't care about anything, but in fact he is delicate on the inside and cares about everything.
"Where's Mr. Li?" Rong Xi didn't know what Leng Yixiu remembered, but he was intuitively reluctant to let him immerse himself in this bad feeling, so he walked to his side lightly and gently pulled his sleeve.
Leng Yixiu's eyes lit up, and the dark color between his eyebrows receded, as if the light of the sun illuminated his eyebrows, she rarely took the initiative, but she narrowed the distance between each other's hearts.
"Leng Fifteen, they sent him back, don't worry." Leng Yixiu smiled, gentle as a spring breeze.
"It seems that we have to take him back, I'm afraid he will have to live in the palace for a while." Rong Xi pointed to his face, "I want a mask." ”
"Huh?" Leng Yixiu raised his eyebrows.
"Am I not Li Haijiang's apprentice?" A faint coldness appeared in Rong Xi's eyes, "I want to ...... Someone will definitely break into Li's house at night tonight and want to arrest me for revenge, right? ”
"But ......" Leng Yixiu certainly understood what she meant, if she was using her example as bait! He was uneasy in his heart, but Rong Xi said, "Moreover, can you detect King Qi's abnormality?" ”
"That's right," Leng Yixiu nodded, "When we went to the palace together that day, I wanted to test it on the road, but he was very guarded. ”
"But today I got it." Rong Xi smiled slyly, and she shook her hand.
Leng Yixiu's eyes lit up, "You mean ......?"
"Yes, I was holding the tray and pretending to slip and accidentally grabbed his sleeve...... Including the wrists under his sleeves," Rong Xi's smile floated on the corners of his mouth, like a cunning fox, "As I expected, his pulse ...... It couldn't be more normal. ”
Leng Yixiu looked at her intently, the sharp light flashed in his eyes, he suddenly had a strange idea, he didn't want to imprison Rong Xi's wings anymore, he just wanted to be her help, let her fly higher and farther, such a woman, if she was locked up in the palace, even if she was the only hostess, she wouldn't be happy, right?
"You can go," he said, "but promise me one condition." ”
Rong Xi's eyes were a little more puzzled, "Let's hear it." ”
"Someone must follow and protect, and you can't be strong when you encounter a strong enemy." Leng Yixiu's tone was firm, "Yes." ”
"Didn't you send someone to follow me all the time?" Rong Xi's expression changed, and he vaguely heard the sound of grinding his teeth.
Leng Yixiu ignored her words, clapped his hands and said: "You two, you have a major demerit today, go to the torture staff room to get thirty rods, if there is a next time, you don't have to go back to the palace." ”
His voice was cold and hard, and every word was like a hard ice smashing over, and the muffled sound smashed into people's hearts, and the ice slag splashed with flesh and blood, slowly freezing the hot blood, and making people's reactions slow down by half a beat.
The sound of breathing outside the door was faint, and two bent shadows were reflected in the window, no longer the usual jokes of bickering, replaced by a silence, silence like a hard force, with a faint solemnity, "Yes." ”
Rong Xi felt that her breath was suffocated instantly, she didn't open her mouth to intercede for Leng Fifteen and Leng Fifteen, although the two of them were a little wronged today, but the way to lead the army, to be both rigid and soft, this is an eternal truth, if you do something wrong, no matter what the reason, you must be punished.
She believes that Leng Yixiu cherishes the life of every soldier, because life is equally important, especially for those who lead soldiers, there is a deeper and broader artistic conception of life, and she believes that Leng Yixiu will advance and retreat with them on the battlefield, live and die together.
The night gradually pulled down, the moonlight in the sky was a little hazy, light and thin, the surrounding starlight was sparse and dim, the warm wind blew in the air, with a faint moisture, there was a warm feeling on people's faces, and the hair was raised, and the night was integrated.
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and the night of murder.
Rong Xi's slender figure jumped up and down on the roof, like a flying milk swallow, and not far behind her, followed by Leng Fifteen and Leng Fifteen, the three of them went straight to Li Haijiang's home in the east of the city.
Li Haijiang's information Rong Xi has memorized by heart, Leng Yixiu didn't just introduce anyone into the palace, Li Haijiang is an excellent man, but he is indifferent to fame and fortune, and he has not mixed up with officialdom, this kind of extraordinary enthusiasm for academics makes him too negligent about other things, when he was young, his wife said goodbye, and he did not remarry, no children and no daughters, just a life.
Rong Xi didn't knock on the door, jumped on the roof of the Li family, and looked at the movement in the courtyard, this is a small courtyard, a few main houses and wings on the east and west, nothing else, there are no lanterns in the yard, and a few windows in the main room are full of light, looking at the situation It should be a study, she listened carefully for a while, there was nothing abnormal, she turned over and fell.
She walked to the window, the window was ajar, a line of light leaked out of the window, the figure dragged to the flowers under the window, and Li Haijiang was carefully looking at the picture of human internal organs under the lamp.
Rong Xi looked at his serious appearance and couldn't help but smile in his heart, this old gentleman doesn't say anything else, this dedication to academics alone is admirable.
She raised her hand and knocked on the window, Li Haijiang inside was startled, stood up and looked up, and saw an unfamiliar face, which was hidden in the shadows and was not very clear, but the eyes were very bright, so bright and sharp, but there was no aggressive momentum.
He intuitively felt that this person had no malicious intent, but he didn't know the person in front of him, so he asked, "Who are you?" How did you get to my house? ”
Rong Xi looked at his calm appearance, smiled and said, "Master, of course I'm here to join you." ”
She lowered her voice a little when she spoke, but Li Haijiang was still stunned for a moment, and his eyes were happy, he was just about to give a salute, Rong Xi waved his hand, jumped lightly, and jumped in from the window.
"It's so late, you come ......" Li Haijiang couldn't figure out what Rong Xi meant, his fingers subconsciously groped for the visceral map on the table, in his opinion, this thing is too precious, this princess came to visit at night, it won't be here to get it back, right?
Rong Xi looked at his movements, a little crying and laughing, "Master, I'm here to ask you to cooperate with me to act in a play." ”
"Oh?" Li Haijiang breathed a sigh of relief slightly, "Please command." ”
"There will be guests visiting in a while, and then ......" Rong Xi's voice became lower and lower, her face was hidden in the dark shadow, and Li Haijiang's expression was shocked in the dancing candle flames, then firm, and finally resolute.
"Whew!" An arrow whistle pierced the night sky, and then more than twenty soldiers poured out of the street, holding torches, lighting up half of the sky, and their footsteps came towards the Li family.
Rong Xi couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the noise on the street, he actually came blatantly? Should it be said that they are too stupid, or are they too blind, this kind of resourcefulness is also worthy of being an enemy of Leng Yixiu? It's really self-defeating!
"Here we are." Rong Xi looked at Li Haijiang, who was sitting on the side.
"Hmm." The old man's face was solemn, and he looked like a heroic man who was righteous and awe-inspiring and generous to death.
"You don't have to be so nervous," Rong Xi smiled, her eyes flashed slightly, she raised her hand and poured a cup of tea, her expression calm, "If you want to make the enemy believe, you must first believe yourself." ”
Li Haijiang looked at the woman dressed in men's clothes under the light, although she was wearing a mask, her face was not the same as when she met before, but her eyes did not change, and they shone before blinking, reminiscent of the crystal dew in the morning sun, and ...... The mask is delicate and delicate, is it made by herself? Be sure to ask for advice another day.
As soon as he thought of academics, Li Haijiang calmed down as if he had taken a sedative, and his breathing gradually stabilized, and he couldn't see anything abnormal.
And at this time......
There was a loud shout outside the door, the door panel was smashed like an earthquake, and the roar outside was close to the ears, "Open the door, open the door quickly!" ”
Rong Xi glanced at Li Haijiang, and the old man immediately stood up and ran out of the door, "Here, here!" ”
The light of the large torch shone into the courtyard through the crack in the door, and the pungent smell of fireworks could be smelled through the courtyard wall, and the smoke and heat were strangely wafting in the air, and Li Haijiang walked over and opened the door.
Almost as soon as he pulled the deadbolt of the door, the door was slammed open by someone from the outside, "What are you doing so slowly?" Let me wait for a long time! ”
"Ladies and gentlemen...... Guys, what's the matter? Li Haijiang looked at the crowd holding torches outside, the black and oppressive momentum was even more terrifying than he imagined, his face turned pale in the firelight, and his beard kept shaking.
"Are you Li Haijiang?" One of the officers at the head looked up and down a few times, with contempt in his eyes.
"Yes, yes, little old man exactly." Li Haijiang hurriedly nodded and said.
"You have an apprentice coming to defect?" The officer then asked, and the torch flicked in front of Li Haijiang's face, and Li Haijiang was forced back by the heat wave, and he fell a little.
The officer laughed, Li Haijiang stood firm and said: "Yes, there is an apprentice, newly accepted, said that he came here to join his relatives, but the relatives moved away and did not know where to go. ”
