Chapter 121: The Man in Black is Caught
Lu Qingyi and Yan Feng didn't come back from the palace until it got dark, and Duanyue specially ordered someone to prepare food, but it was already cold and hot. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 She sat down at the table with her chin propped up. Seeing that the food on the table was losing steam little by little, and the three pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table were also lonely.
Duanyue sighed, then stood up from the stool, and stepped out of the door with her hands behind her back, leaning against the pillars of the cloister at the door. Cuiguo and Rong'er also looked embarrassed, both of them hadn't eaten for an afternoon, and they were already hungry now. But Duanyue didn't speak, and they didn't dare to speak.
Rong'er looked at Cuiguo like a pleading for help, and with a pleading look, Cuiguo had to dissuade Duanyue Dao. "County Lord, it's better for you to eat first. The marquis and his wife may have had dinner in the palace before coming back, so the county lord should not wait any longer. ”
"I've been waiting for so long, and I'm not in a hurry for this time." Duanyue pouted, she lowered her head, and gently kicked the pillar in front of her again and again. The reluctance in the expression of words was very obvious, and Cuiguo took in all this and pursed her lips.
She spoke softly again. "How about the county lord eat a few bites first and then wait? It's so uncomfortable to be hungry. ”
Duanyue thought about it for a while, and she couldn't help but look at the delicious food on the table. Although he has been neglecting them for a long time, it still does not stop their allure. Duanyue couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and the two little people in her heart began to fight fiercely.
As soon as Cuiguo saw that her eyes were firmly locked, she knew that Duanyue was also hungry. She didn't ask Duanyue, but hurriedly went into the house, scooped a large spoonful of chicken soup into a porcelain bowl, and brought it to Duanyue. "The county lord doesn't eat, it's good to take a sip."
Since the food has been delivered to the mouth, there is no reason not to eat it. So Duanyue couldn't pretend anymore, her eyes were shining, and she drank the chicken soup like a fine wine. The warm and sweet taste remained on the tip of her tongue, like a poison, and she was addicted.
Duanyue licked her lips, hesitating whether to free herself from this. Yan Feng and Lu Qingyi happened to return to Ninghou Mansion.
The two of them had haggard faces, especially Lu Qingyi. Her legs were limp, and she staggered to walk. Seeing this, Duanyue didn't have the heart to drink chicken soup anymore, she immediately threw the bowl she was holding to Cuiguo, walked forward quickly, and asked about the two of them. "Why did you come back? What's wrong with you two? ”
The wind waved at her and didn't speak. He helped Lu Qingyi to help her to the back room and sit down, and then moved his lips and said slowly.
"The Queen Mother's desire to summon us is false, and her desire to establish authority is true. Without saying anything, he let Qingyi kneel on the ground for a while, and said that he couldn't see her a few times a year, and he wanted to take a good look. As a result, the Queen Mother sat on the seat and watched Qingyi kneeling. The wind sighed and shook his head.
Lu Qingyi showed a weak smile, but he was very calm, and he didn't have a little grievance. She bent down and rubbed her aching knee.
"When the Queen Mother ordered me to enter the palace, I almost expected this to happen." She took a deep breath and explained to the two. "My mother-in-law is Princess Sheng'an, and my mother-in-law is the concubine of the year, and the relationship with the Queen Mother is incompatible. For so many years, the Queen Mother has not forgotten this. Obviously, he has such an indifferent attitude towards my mother, and naturally he is not much better for me. ”
She chuckled and shook her head. "Even the Hou Ye and I have suffered together."
"You told me about this before I did, I can still help you deal with it, there's no need to hide it." The wind frowned, and his tone was slightly reproachful.
"Forget it. I haven't eaten yet, so let's eat first. Duanyue saw that the atmosphere between the two was not right, so she immediately made a round and hurriedly filled a full meal for the two and handed it to them. People take food as the sky, let's eat first! ”
Yan Feng raised his eyes to look at Duan Yue, and when he saw her silly smile, he stopped pursuing the matter. However, seeing that Lu Qingyi was wronged today, he still secretly made a note in his heart. After the three of them finished dinner, the atmosphere gradually improved. Duanyue told the two of them everything about the reward, but Yan Feng just nodded lightly and did not speak.
"It's almost dark, let's go back to sleep first." Lu Qingyi's face was tired, and she nodded at the wind. "My father and mother sent a letter, and it was almost three days before I arrived in Chang'an from Lishui."
"Well, it's time to discuss the matter of getting married. You've worked hard, so go back to sleep. Lu Qingyi nodded, and Duanyue also quickly stood up and said that she would accompany her back.
Since Lu Qingyi woke up, she was embarrassed, and she was afraid of others gossiping, so she didn't want to occupy the room anymore. So now Lu Qingyi lives in a guest room not far from Duanyue, and everything is available.
Duanyue affectionately held Lu Qingyi's arm and held her head high. "I'll stop by Qingyi, so let's go back with her!"
"Forget it, then I'll give up my life to accompany the beauty. Just take a walk after dinner to eliminate your food, and walk around with you. The wind also put down his chopsticks and looked at the two of them softly.
Duanyue heard him take the initiative, but she was sullen. She also wanted to whisper something to Lu Qingyi and the others, but she didn't expect that the wind had to force her foot, isn't this a bad scenery! However, looking at his posture, he even put down his chopsticks, obviously not giving up. Duanyue had no choice but to reluctantly nodded.
The three of them walked on the path in harmony, and now they seem to have the feeling of a family. Duanyue's eyes were slightly raised, and she showed a mischievous smile at Lu Qingyi. "I'm really stained with you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have eaten at the same table with my brother in a long time. ”
The wind squinted at her, not daring to speak. Lu Qingyi asked in surprise. "Really?"
"Yes, he is a busy man, and he spends only a handful of time in the house, and he doesn't have that time to eat with me. So, I'm always snuggled up in my room, with a big table to myself. But it's strange, but there is no appetite. ”
"At least she will be able to eat with you in the future, and there will be someone to feed in a few years." The wind imagined the future, but Duanyue's smile froze. She swallowed a mouthful of saliva and fell silent, that thing was still buried in the depths of her heart, and she didn't dare to tell anyone.
The wind keenly noticed her quietness, and he unconsciously fell silent, and for a while he could only hear the sound of insects and the wind at night.
But suddenly, there was the sound of Suosuo's voice. Duanyue thought it was the sound of the clothes rubbing against the plants at her feet, but after a few more steps, she noticed that there was no help but this small sound, and the footsteps of the other people in addition to them. Duanyue couldn't help but get nervous.
She subconsciously cast her eyes on the wind, and saw that he also had a serious face. Duanyue raised her finger and whispered "shh Cuiguo, who was following behind her, also knew it, and she looked around vigilantly, looking for the dark shadow that she hadn't seen for a long time.
Half a month has passed since Duanyue almost caught the black shadow last time, and no one has seen this pretending to be a ghost during this period, and Duanyue has almost forgotten him. But I didn't expect this guy to take the initiative to hit the muzzle of the gun today, which is too bold.
At a glance, the sharp-eyed wind spotted a dark figure standing in a small forest in the distance. If you don't pay attention, the shadow will merge with the shade of the tree. The black shadow obviously didn't expect that he would be exposed so quickly. When the wind dodged and rushed over, he was stunned for two or three seconds.
As soon as the shadow reacted, it left and ran briskly to the left, drawing a long sword from his waist. The silver sword is extremely dazzling and eye-catching in the dark night. Duanyue firmly grasped Lu Qingyi's hands to prevent her from being frightened, but she herself was afraid to death. This black shadow is elusive, and no one can figure out how high his martial arts are.
Seeing him show his weapon, the wind also drew his long sword and quickly chased after him. The two of them ran briskly one after the other, and soon disappeared from people's sight. Lu Qingyi frowned, and didn't care about the danger, so he led Duanyue to run in the direction where the two left, and Cuiguo was not far behind, and followed quickly.
"The man is dead." The wind looked at the corpse lying on the ground, turned to the trotting three.
Duanyue poked her head out and looked carefully at the corpse on the ground. Strangely, there was not a single wound on his body.
The wind put the sword back in its scabbard, his furrowed brows still unfurled. "This person has average skills, but he gathers the qualities of a killer. Seeing that he was about to be caught by me, he bit through the poison and killed himself. He looked back and forth at the corpse, ripping off the mask it was wearing. Beneath the mask was an unfamiliar face, and Duanyue shook her head to indicate that she didn't recognize it.
The wind looked at this face for a while, and he really couldn't find any memory in his mind, and he shook his head. But he crouched down, groped for the body, and found a token around his waist. Duanyue didn't know what was written on it, but as soon as his face changed, he hid the token in his waist and let everyone disperse first.
"You guys go back first, I'll let the guards take care of this."
Duanyue nodded, and immediately dragged Lu Qingyi away from the place of right and wrong. There was a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart.
