Chapter Ninety-Six: Dark Shadows in the Night

"Why? Aren't you lovers? Duanyue turned her head in surprise and looked at Hu Yan in a daze. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info she clearly felt Hu Yan's love for the little wolf, and she also knew that the little wolf paid so much attention to Hu Yan, why did Hu Yan say this?

Obviously, Hu Yan didn't want to tell Duanyue the truth. She just lowered her eyes, and the reflection of her eyelashes was reflected on her face. Hu Yan's teeth were as white as shellfish, biting her red lips lightly, just a perfunctory sentence "It's none of your business". Duanyue looked at her quietly, only feeling bored in her heart, and felt worthless for the little wolf.

"Are you so worthy of his affection for you?" Duanyue's tone was cold, and she said coldly to Hu Yan.

Hu Yan turned a blind eye to the anger in her eyes, she "banged", put the teacup in her hand on the table hard, and her tone began to be bad. "Girl, it's getting late, so I won't send you off!" Don't look over, don't look at Duanyue at all.

Duanyue is also interesting. She snorted coldly and slammed the door. As soon as he went out, he bumped into the sneaky Xiao Er, and when he saw him with a panicked look, he seemed to have done something wrong. When he saw Duanyue glancing at him suspiciously, he immediately lowered his head and ran away with a cower.

Is there a problem with this nonsense restaurant? Duanyue looked around at this extraordinary restaurant, the room was full of pleasant music, the graceful voice of the orchid, and the aroma of wine and food filled the surroundings, but it was just an ordinary restaurant, and it didn't look like a strange place no matter how you looked at it.

Duanyue walked back to Ninghou Mansion in despair, as if the lovelorn person was not a little wolf but herself. She was in a low mood, and there seemed to be a witch cloud floating around her, and all the subordinates watched her walk by, and immediately took a detour to leave, for fear of being caught by Duanyue with a black face, and scolded and angry.

Cuiguo asked Rong'er to go back to the house and sleep first, and she sat alone in the courtyard of Duanyue, carefully embroidering the handkerchief in her hand with the help of the candles lit on the stone table. Duanyue stepped into the courtyard with gentle steps, looking at Cuiguo's squinting eyes and concentrating, she couldn't bear to bother.

She slowly walked to Cuiguo's side and tapped the stone table lightly with her knuckles, making a dull sound. Cuiguo blinked, and she looked at Duanyue with a smile.

"County Lord, are you back? Hungry? Cuiguo rubbed her eyes, resisted the urge to yawn, and immediately stood up. I cooked azuki bean soup, so I'm going to heat it up. ”

Without waiting for Duanyue to reply, Cuiguo put down the things in her hand and immediately walked to the kitchen. Duanyue saw from a distance that the dim small kitchen suddenly flashed with a warm yellow light, and her stomach sounded at the right time. I was talking to Hu Yan just now, and I completely forgot about eating in a fit of anger, so I drank a cup of tea and became even more hungry.

Waiting for Cuiguo's time, Duanyue sat on the stone bench in the courtyard, and she pounded the bamboo basket that Cuiguo put on the table, which contained nothing more than some needlework heads. She picked up the white handkerchief that was placed beside the table and examined it carefully. An off-white silk handkerchief embroidered with three small pink and yellow flowers in the corner.

"I saw that your handkerchief has been used for a while, so I embroidered a new one. Don't dislike the county lord. Cuiguo took the small bowl with white smoke and put it in front of Duanyue, and after she put it down, she immediately pinched her small and soft earlobe. Knowing that the county lord likes to eat sweet, I deliberately put two pieces of rock candy. ”

"You're still the best for me." Duanyue raised her head and grinned at Cuiguo. She picked up the spoon and stirred the thick adzuki bean soup, and a sweet and greasy taste wafted up.

"What did the county lord do when he went out at night?" Cuiguo asked in a whisper.

However, Duanyue shook her head and kept her mouth shut. "I went out and went to find someone to talk about things, and then I came back in a circle." She took a sip of the bean soup, and a smile suddenly bloomed on her face. "Hmmm! Or the cui fruit you make is the most delicious, I don't know how many times better than the ones sold outside! ”

Hearing her divert the topic, Cuiguo had no choice but to shake her head helplessly. "There's a lot more in the kitchen, eat slowly."

Cuiguo suddenly remembered something, and immediately exclaimed "oops", so she hurriedly ran to the house, took something and put it in Duanyue's hand. "I almost forgot! When the county lord first went out, someone sent it over, saying that it was from the front line. ”

Duanyue immediately put the spoon in her hand, and hurriedly opened the letter with trembling hands, and she almost tore the envelope in half with nervousness. When he opened the envelope and saw that there were no blood stains on the yellowed and wrinkled letterhead, Duanyue breathed a sigh of relief, and the tension in his heart was slightly reduced.

She read it carefully, and the crazy italic characters were recognized at a glance as the handwriting of the wind. A huge piece of paper, the wind stingy only wrote a few words:

I have successfully arrived in Yanzhou, and tomorrow I will arrange troops to fight to kill the enemy. Don't make trouble in Chang'an, I'll be back in half a month.

With just a few words, Duanyue didn't feel that this was his brother at all. The cold text has no human touch at all. Cuiguo poked her head over and asked Duanyue curiously. "What did Master Hou say?"

"I said goodbye, and then I didn't say anything." Duanyue pouted with some displeasure. "Really, I don't say much!"

"It may be that Master Hou is busy with official business. I see that many people are busy and don't think about tea and dinner, and the Hou Ye can still spare time to write a letter to the county lord, it seems that he attaches importance to the county lord or something! Cuiguo stubbornly persuaded Duanyue. Hearing Duanyue say that the wind was safe, she put her mind at ease, she couldn't sleep these days, and she could finally sleep peacefully today.

Duanyue angrily put the letter on the table. "He's working, and there's no one else in his eyes!" Duanyue moved the bowl in front of him, scooped it into his mouth in a big gulp, and ate it cleanly with a cup of tea.

She stood up and stretched, just in time to see the moon hanging in the center of the sky, and it was almost midnight. Duanyue turned around and let Cuiguo go to sleep. "It's so late, you have to get up early tomorrow morning, so hurry back to your room and go to bed." I'm such a big person, can't I still wash up? ”

"Then the county lord will rest early, and I will go down first." Cuiguo hesitated for a while, but still couldn't resist Duanyue, and obediently took away the leftover bowl on the table. She turned back several times, but finally disappeared into the night.

Duanyue watched her leave, and immediately put away her casual look. She pursed her lips tightly, and there was a hint of fierceness in her eyes. Duanyue couldn't wait to walk into the garden, she tiptoed to make a sound. The darkness of the night obscured many things.

Duanyue saw a figure standing in the pavilion by the lake from a distance, and his tall and straight appearance made Duanyue subconsciously think that it was a little wolf. She immediately ran over, and was about to run to the edge of the gazebo, but strangely, the black shadow was still so blurry, and only a shadow could be seen.

Just as Duanyue ran to the pavilion nearly three feet away, the black shadow disappeared with a "poof".

Duanyue stood in place in a daze, looking at the empty pavilion, and instantly the hairs on her body rose everywhere, and a nameless fear ignited in her heart. She was so scared that she couldn't even scream, so she subconsciously turned around and ran fast until she bumped into someone.
