Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Prey Arrives
The night was as deep as splashing ink, the moonlight was fainter than just now, only a shallow outline could be seen, the surrounding clouds were thicker, and suddenly in the distance, a lightning bolt pierced the sky and quickly disappeared.
The air became more and more sticky, and the fine dust in the wind was scraping on his face, which was a little uncomfortable, but Leng Yixiu didn't move at all, just looked at the shadow jumping in the night sky.
The shadow was as light as hair, dexterous as a swallow, it could be seen from the length and strength of a man, he looked around from the treetops, and then on tiptoe, his body borrowed his strength to go out, like a smooth water line, and fell lightly in Su Ting's courtyard.
Leng Wu and Leng Liu stood behind Leng Yixiu, not moving at all, no matter what happened, even if it was shocking to the extreme, but without the master's order, he couldn't act without permission.
Strictly following the orders of the master, regardless of life and death, is one of the most intuitive reactions of these secret guards.
Leng Yixiu stood in the dark, his eyes flickered, both the excitement of seeing the prey appear on time and the faint anger, he raised his hand to hold a branch beside him, the green leaves stretched, he exerted slightly, the leaves fell silently, shattered.
"Keep an eye on it, don't startle the snake." Leng Yixiu commanded.
"Yes."
Leng Yixiu turned around and left, thinking all the way, who is that man in black? Is it the same person who contacted Su Ting last time?
Get in touch with Su Ting, it should be Rongxi, right? Thinking of this, the anger in his heart burned brightly, his princess was murdered by others one after another, did those people think they were dead?
And Su Ting! This damn woman! Actually with others inside and out! If she is just petty and jealous, only limited to the dispute in the back house, Leng Yixiu may be bearable, but she moved Rong Xi, and she joined forces with outsiders to kill Rong Xi, how could he endure it anymore? !
He looked up at the night sky, and even the faint moonlight was gone, and the starlight was hidden behind the clouds, and the wind seemed to be a little faster, and his clothes fluttered and snapped.
Behind the clouds, the giant eyes of a monster suddenly opened and looked down on the world, and at the same time, a muffled thunder sounded "boom", breaking the silence of the night.
The storm is coming.
"Xiao'er, what time is it?" Rong Xi, who had already slept, was awakened by the thunder, and when he opened his eyes, he found that Xiao'er was closing the doors and windows, the wind was blowing in, and the candles in the house were jumping.
"Miss, it's past the hour." Xiao'er closed the window and replied with a sigh of relief.
"You go to sleep, too." Rong Xi waved her hand and motioned for her to turn off the lights.
"Yes." Hyo-a turned around and went out and blew out the candles in the house.
The room was dark, there was no moonlight outside, it was dark, who overturned the inkstone, splashed the whole world black, blowing hard, knocking on the window, the trees trembled badly in the wind, the rustling of the leaves was insignificant, mixed in the wind, and disappeared.
Rong Xi looked at the top of the tent, this is the best moonlight yarn, even in the dark, there is a slight light, like moonlight shining in, thin and bright, just a little cold.
She closed her eyes, thinking about what had happened recently, I don't know if there is any movement over there, tonight's weather, I don't know if the people who are waiting are coming?
As soon as the eyelids closed, the sleepiness came back again, and I've been feeling a little sleepy lately...... Rong Xi flashed such a thought, and then, fell asleep.
Overnight, as if the Nine Heavens Milky Way had been dumped, the water in the river was gushing down, everything in the heavens and the earth was baptized by the river, the dust in the air was smashed to the ground, the trees and flowers were washed to a new look, the branches and leaves stretched out in the rain, holding their heads slightly high, like a beautiful woman bathing in the rain, just ...... It rained a little too much.
The crackling rain continued until the east was white, the raindrops turned into continuous rain, and a curtain of water hung between heaven and earth, fine and long, splashing small splashes on the ground, splashing one by one, as if carved by crystal, but in a blink of an eye, it disappeared again.
Xiao'er looked inside, Rong Xi was still asleep, she opened the door of the outer hall, the fresh air came in, making people refreshed, she began to carefully prepare things for washing, warm the milk, and then soak in fresh petals, let Rong Xi wash her face and hands for a while.
"Xiao'er ......" Rong Xi is not used to calling people as soon as she opens her eyes, like a real moth, but she always feels very tired in the past two days, and she just doesn't want to move.
Xiao'er quickly walked in, Rong Xi got up, pushed open the window, the moist wind blew in his face, mixed with the woody fragrance of leaves and the sweetness of flowers and plants, the thin rain silk also turned into occasional dripping, and the bluestone bricks on the ground were washed clean like jade, slightly exuding a damp mist.
Rong Xi squinted her eyes slightly, such a fresh and clean wind soothed her mood a lot, at least, at the moment, she looked at the fresh courtyard, most of the lotus flowers in the lotus tank bloomed, the white and tender petals gently spread in the wind, the top of the petals was faintly pink little by little, slowly extending to the part of the heart of the flower, until half of the petals were occupied, like a girl with snow-white skin, suddenly shy, a little red on her face was dyed, and it was lovely.
The lotus leaf is emerald green, like a small umbrella with a handle open, and there are crystal dew drops on it that are slowly rolling, crystal clear like diamonds, and some naughtily roll to the edge of the leaf, "click", and gently fall into the water, leaving a faint water trace.
Rong Xi watched quietly, enjoying the oncoming wind, holding his cheeks in his hands, standing by the window.
Leng Yixiu came in at this time, Rong Xiru stood in the painting, the verdant and delicate courtyard was not as fresh and isolated as her.
The sky became more and more blue after washing, like a blue jewel, the white clouds floated gently in the air, the glow of the sun was hidden behind the clouds, and the scenery in the courtyard was faintly bright.
The wind blew her hair, the long black hair floated softly, she wore a pale green robe, which was a fine moonlight brocade, the clothes swayed gently, reflecting the brilliance like the moonlight, her skin was like snow, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were slightly narrowed, and in this early morning it seemed to be covered with a faint layer of mist, blurry and distant.
Leng Yixiu's breathing was slightly suffocated, he felt that this kind of Rong Xi was less cold and sober than usual, and a little more soft and warm, like a piece of cold jade, finally warmed to a glossy color.
Rong Xi noticed his gaze, his eyes opened, and the misty mist dissipated instantly, like this glow hidden behind the clouds, finally broke through the clouds, and instantly shone into people's hearts.
Leng Yixiu smiled helplessly, he walked quickly, and as soon as he walked into the house, Rong Xi asked, "Have you had breakfast?" ”
"Not yet." He replied.
"Xiao'er, let's set the table." Rong Xi turned back to Xiao'er and said.
"Let's eat together, talk as we eat." Watching Xiao'er walk out, Rong Xi said to Leng Yixiu.
In fact, the ancients didn't let anyone talk casually when eating, especially this kind of big family, but Rong Xi didn't want to follow these, the rules are set by people, and the days are also lived by people, how comfortable they are, usually intrigue and physical and mental exhaustion, if some habits can't come according to their own preferences, they can't exhaust people to death?
In fact, in the past, in modern times, she also ate alone, and she didn't like to chat, and she wasn't a person who talked a lot, but recently it seems that something has quietly changed, but she hasn't realized it yet.
The meal was quickly set up, and Leng Yixiu introduced to her the situation last night while eating, Rong Xi listened and couldn't help sneering slightly, and sure enough, he still didn't give up.
"Let's eat after a while and go see Mr. Li," Rong Xi took a sip of porridge, and always felt that something was wrong, it was obviously this porridge yesterday, why did the taste feel different today than yesterday? However, there is no poison, she is sure of that.
"Okay, in fact, he has already sent people to see you, but it's just ......" Leng Yixiu looked at Rong Xi carefully, always feeling that she was not very good in the past two days, and there was an indescribable tiredness between her eyebrows, "Are you okay?" ”
"It's okay," Rong Xi knew that his body was a little tired, a little tired, and there was no other discomfort, could it be that the nerves were too tense during this time?
"Okay, I'll go back and arrange for a doctor to come over and live here, and if there is any problem, I can pass him on at any time." Leng Yixiu said, although he was willing to believe what Rong Xi said, there were still some hidden worries in his eyes.
"No need," Rong Xi hurriedly waved his hand, still coming? This small courtyard is lively enough, "Have you forgotten that I am still a healer?" ”
“……”
Leng Yixiu was slightly stunned and remembered Rong Xi's other identity, and couldn't help but smile, but he had some doubts in his heart, Rong Xi is like an intriguing book, just read the beginning, every time you turn a page, there will be a surprise, until the end, you will never guess what new things she will bring you.
Li Haijiang was arranged in the guest courtyard of the palace, on the west side of the palace, he was given a small courtyard to live in, and a few servants were assigned.
Rong Xi was led by Leng Yixiu, and when he arrived at this quiet courtyard, he planted a few big trees, the dense branches and leaves were like a huge green umbrella, covering a large area of shade, and there was a small stone table under the tree, and there were a few stools next to it, when they came in, Li Haijiang was lying on his stomach looking at the picture on the table, and he was muttering from time to time.
The people in the courtyard just wanted to remind him, but Rong Xi waved his hand to stop it, and she looked at the old man with a smile, and there was a slight admiration in her heart.
