246: Enemy Darkness
There was a hint of amusement in the young man's eyes, indifferent, unwavering.
After Xia Ruan heard this, he got up and said goodbye euphemistically, not showing half a surprised look from beginning to end.
When the young man saw Xia Ruan say goodbye, he couldn't help but look at her still childish face again, and his eyes deepened.
"So, Miss Three." The young man looked at her with a smile, "See you soon." ”
Xia Ruan smiled faintly, nodded and walked out of the pavilion.
Ai Ye was somewhat surprised by Miss's behavior, she couldn't help but glance at the young man in the pavilion before leaving, and then unwillingly turned her head and followed Xia Ruan to leave.
Why wasn't the young lady surprised at all, wasn't she looking for Mr. West Building?
Or does the young lady have other plans?
Ai Ye didn't dare to ask, but he was slightly puzzled in his heart.
When she was about to walk to the wing, Xia Ruan's pace slowed down, she looked up at the sky, but she saw that the sky was full of dark clouds, and she couldn't see a faint ray of sunlight at all. She had to level her eyes again, and sighed secretly in her heart.
For some reason, the remaining hope in her heart was completely extinguished after hearing the young man's words. Even the originally calm mood was flooded with countless irritability by this dark and boundless sky. Xia Ruan felt that this feeling was very strange, as if the cold air around him had turned into a pungent turbidity.
If you want to gain a person's trust, you have to exchange something of equal value. In her current position, it is impossible for her to do anything as she wants, and she needs to solve it slowly......
Such as. If she wants to make a profit in the business, she must take the risk and be prepared to lose money.
For example, if she wants to get the affection of a couple for the rest of her life, she has to try to believe in Xiao Jiu again.
For example, if she wants to know about Mr. Xilou, she has to endure what is in front of her.
Seeing that Xia Ruan didn't speak, Ai Ye couldn't help but ask, "Third Miss, what's wrong with you?" Is there something uncomfortable? ”
Xia Ruan came back to his senses and shook his head: "No, I'm fine." ”
That's a good one. It was as if she was comforting herself. As if she said so. It's just really good.
Ai Ye still noticed that something was wrong with Xia Ruan, and her brows furrowed: "Did that person offend Miss just now, so Miss you ...... Miss, wait until the next time the slave meets the thing that doesn't have long eyes. The slave must have beaten him severely. ”
After Xia Ruan listened. I couldn't help but laugh.
Ai Ye said. She also waved her fists, and it seemed that the autumnal equinox appeared in front of her eyes, and she would really go up and have a good fight with the autumnal equinox.
"Why do you think that?" Words for mugwort leaves. Xia Ruan was a little curious.
When Ai Ye saw Xia Ruan asking her, she smiled and said, "Because the slave's father said that if some people are unwilling to reason with you, then using fists to solve it is the most direct way." ”
Xia Ruan's eyes lit up, and then she seemed to think of something.
Although it is not elegant to do it first, many times, she must admit that force is the best way to solve everything.
"You're right." Xia Ruan agreed with Ai Ye's words very much, and after Ai Ye heard it, he showed a smug smile.
But before Ai Ye could speak, Xia Ruan added, "But the next time you meet the autumn equinox and this son, you still don't do it." Because, you won't be their opponent. ”
Xia Ruan just noticed that the little servant named the autumn equinox was slightly different from an ordinary subordinate.
There were a lot of calluses in his palms, which clearly looked like the marks left by the person holding the sword.
If the tea-making guy next to a mysterious son is still like this, then this young man's life experience must be even more extraordinary.
It's just that Xia Ruan knows that this person is not Mr. Xilou.
At least, the age is completely incorrect.
She never believed that there was really an elixir of immortality in this world, let alone that someone could always look the same. If there really is such a medicine, then why can't many emperors find it after exhausting their treasury?
So, the teenager was cheating on her.
It's just that Xia Ruan didn't understand the meaning of the young man's words.
The boy said he had seen her in the scroll, but she had never asked anyone to paint a portrait of herself, so how could the boy have seen it? She is not a peerless beauty, and her portrait can be sold for a few taels of silver.
However, what surprised Xia Ruan the most was that the young man actually knew that she wanted to find Mr. Xilou.
The boy opened his mouth to test her, and she knew that if she had said the wrong thing, she might never have seen Mr. Xilou in her life.
The existence of the Bai family is actually a hidden danger for Daqin.
It's just that Emperor Jianguang hasn't discovered this yet. It's not because Emperor Jianguang looks down on the people of the Bai family, but because he is too confident.
Self-confidence is indeed a good thing, but being overconfident is conceit.
The Bai family can assist Daqin in the establishment, and naturally assist other people even more.
It's just that this is like a gamble for the Bai family, and if you win, you will naturally become famous and lose...... It's a complete failure.
"But Miss...... He ......" Ai Ye thought for a moment before he said softly, "Because he is Mr. Xilou?" ”
Xia Ruan thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe it's a fox and a fake tiger." ”
Aiye: "......"
This sentence is mostly her angry words, the young man's chess skills are extraordinary, so naturally there is no need to fake the tiger.
Some people say that from a person's chess style, you can know what kind of person that person is, Xia Ruan feels that the feeling that the teenager gives her is not only a little mysterious, but also has a hint of forbearance. At first, she launched a strong offensive on the chessboard, setting many traps, but the boy did not see it. If it were someone else, it would be in a hurry, and if you didn't pay attention, you would fall into the trap she set.
Moreover, when she was setting a trap for the teenager, the teenager was also setting a trap for her.
The four princes can talk about the people of the Bai family, and they really bothered to think about it.
Xia Ruan slowly walked towards the wing, but his steps became slower and slower.
Her eyes widened suddenly, and then she clutched her clothes tightly, could it be that the young man was ......
Xia Ruan's palms were full of sweat. Her bold idea did not have the slightest flaw.
But why is it at the White Horse Temple?
Why?
Approaching Chinese New Year's Eve, the White Horse Temple is no longer full of people every day, and the White Horse Temple at this moment seems a little cold. Xia Ruan took a step, only this time her steps were steady and neat, and she walked all the way towards the wing room without pausing for the slightest.
Passing through the bare Merlin, outside the wing where she lived at this moment, Duran was already standing outside. Walking back and forth. He looked a little anxious.
Xia Ruan was slightly stunned, and the last smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared completely. She took a big stride and walked over quickly. Then he looked at Du Lan and said, "Is Chongli back?" ”
When Duran saw Xia Ruan. The eyes were slightly red: "Miss...... The slave has been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Duran's anomaly. Xia Ruan frowned.
"Come into the house and say." Xia Ruan turned to Ai Ye behind him and said, "Ai Ye, you are waiting here." No outsiders are allowed to enter the house. ”
Ai Ye nodded, and didn't ask any more at this moment: "The slave knows, miss." ”
Xia Ruan took a deep breath before slowly turning around and pushing the door open.
As soon as she stepped into the house, she felt a faint warmth in the room. Compared to the freezing cold outside, the warmth inside the house is like a spring March.
But this kind of warmth made Xia Ruan uncomfortable, and it seemed that he would suffocate in the next moment.
At this time, Chongli was standing in the house, and when he saw Xia Ruan, he couldn't lower his head any lower.
"Sit down." Xia Ruan pointed to the chair and said to Du Lan, "Go and pour a cup of hot tea for Chongli." ”
Duran's movements were very fast, the tea in the room was warm at all times, and as soon as Chongli sat down, Duran put the tea in front of Chongli.
After Duran handed the tea to Xia Ruan, Duran slowly retreated.
Only Xia Ruan and Chongli were left in the house, but at this time, Chongli couldn't help frowning.
Xia Ruan raised his eyebrows: "What did you hear this time?" ”
Chongli's face was a little stiff, but the words in his mouth still came out: "Everyone in the capital is rumoring that something has happened to Young Master Xiao on the way. And...... Some people also said that Lord Xiao committed suicide in fear of crime this time, and many people said dirty words to say that Miss was not. Miss, this time...... And ......"
Chongli stammered, but Xia Ruan still heard something to some extent.
It's just that the thing that makes Xia Ruan feel strange is that Chongli is a native of the Western Regions, and even cinnabar was almost killed, why did he become like this at this moment.
Could it be that the rumors outside are already even more outrageous?
Rumors are the best weapon for killing.
If you have a slightly worse ability to bear it, you may end up depressed.
"It's okay, you can say it." Xia Ruan looked at Chong Li, "I've heard all the ugly words, is there anything more ugly than what I know?" ”
Back then, the people around her said that she was a 'broom star', and the relatives around her would be killed by her one by one. She had listened to these words for more than ten years.
The funny thing is that Xia Wen is alive and well by her side, and after Tang Jingxuan married her, he won the greatest appreciation of the six princes.
Chongli's face showed anger, and his language was a little cold: "The people of the Tang family are really too shameless, they actually said that Miss came to the White Horse Temple this time, in fact, to curse Young Master Xiao to die on the road, so that Miss can marry Pingyang Hou safely." Don't these people think much about what they say? ”
If these people had thought about it, it wouldn't have been a rumor.
But rumors stop at the wise, and when she refutes them, then she gives others a chance.
It's just that Xia Ruan suddenly felt curious.
This matter is not at all like what Tang Jingxuan did, he is good at hypocrisy and can play an infatuated person, but such a thing is ......
Tang Jingxuan will not do this, because in this way, Tang Jingxuan will have a lot of things that will be difficult to do in the future.
He didn't need to attract attention.
He also wants to stay with Wei Ting for three years and be an infatuated man admired by everyone in the capital.
However, if this matter was not done by Tang Jingxuan, then who would it be?
Xia Ruan rubbed his eyebrows and asked softly, "What else?" What did the Tang family say? ”
She wanted to know the movements of the Tang family.
At this time, the enemy is dark and I am clear. (To be continued......)
