Chapter 17: Visitors from the West (1)
"I really don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, Huo Qingyuan. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" The girl in red looked coldly at Cen Kexuan who had collapsed, her bright eyes were completely cold, and behind Cen Kexuan, a young man with a playful expression quickly flashed. He jumped up in the middle of the gallop of the carriage, and because of his excellent light skills, he didn't make too much noise, and when Cen Kexuan was flustered and even defenseless, a hand knife stunned her. He completed this matter with great ease, and his expression was full of comfort and leisure.
At this moment, he leaned behind him so lazily, with obvious sarcasm in his smile: "Yes, Qingyuan is not as good as Fifth Brother Huan." ”
This sentence seemed to poke at the girl's sore spot, she showed a few traces of resentment for some reason, the expression on her face was erratic, and finally she turned her head to rest and concentrate, ignoring Huo Qingyuan's words. Huo Qingyuan was not surprised, and did not pay attention to her anymore, but leaned over to Cen Kexuan with some curiosity, stretched out his right hand and pinched her chin, and with a little force, he revealed a face that still had a trace of childishness. With red lips and white skin, exquisite facial features, he looks really pure and bright, and his aura is compelling. It's a pity that there is always a little less femininity.
He sighed: "Unexpectedly, Murong Qi's sister-in-law, the future owner of Yujing Villa, turned out to be really a childish little girl with yellow hair. But......" His fingers gently stroked Cen Kexuan's outline, as if exploring the value of an item: "In a year or two, I may be able to grow into a great beauty." He sighed and regretted: "I don't know if this little girl will live to that day." ”
The girl in red raised her eyelids to look at him, sneered to herself, and did not speak. Huo Qingyuan suddenly said: "You say, what did the pavilion master ask us to rob her for?" If you want to destroy this family business, why don't you just kill her? Anyway, we are not the only ones who want this Cen Ke to die. ”
The girl in red suddenly raised her voice and said, "How can an ordinary person like me guess the pavilion master's thoughts?" Besides, whenever the cabinet master gives an order, there are people who don't even want to carry it out, and with such loyal subordinates, why does the cabinet master need to explain his intentions. There was a hint of resentment in his words. After Huo Qingyuan listened, he chuckled, but his eyes looked forward meaningfully, the curtain was blown by the wind that swept up at a gallop, and through the gap, he could faintly see the person who was driving the car, his back was tough and restrained, forever silent, but indestructible. He suddenly laughed: "Yes, some people, indeed. ”
The girl in red's eyes faded and gradually dimmed. The person driving in front of him naturally heard their conversation, but he didn't hear it, and the hat on his head just hid his eyes and face, and only his slightly pursed lips could be seen. The two people behind him were quiet for a while, but he seemed that everything had nothing to do with him, and he still only cared about what was in front of him, driving forward. The carriage galloped down the long street, speeding out of town.
This town is not big, facing west, it is the opposite direction of Ziyun Palace, along the way the mountains are lush, not more than ten miles, there is a cliff, and there is an octagonal pavilion standing on the edge of the cliff. A man dressed in green clothes stood in the gazebo with his hands in his hands, looking up at the rolling mountains in the distance. Above the lush green mountains, a golden sunset is shrouded in a single piece of light that covers all things, spreading from the top of the earth to the sky, and the sinking sunset is obscuring each other.
The man in Tsing Yi was covered by a silver mask, and there was no way to see his face, let alone his expression. With only a knife-like jawline and a tall posture, one can roughly guess that he may be an extremely handsome man. Of course, this is just speculation. He slowly retracted his posture and turned sideways, his silver mask reflecting the glow of the sunset, revealing an indescribable sense of mystery. At the same time, a carriage slowly stopped by the pavilion, and the horse's hooves gradually stopped.
The driver took the lead in dismounting, took off the hat on his head, and revealed a resolute face with a slight wind and frost, which was the "fifth brother" that Cen Kexuan saw in the inn courtyard that day. He waved his hand and threw away the hat, took a few steps forward quietly, and knelt down on one knee in front of the man in green clothes, his movements were clean and neat, without a trace of hesitation: "Huan Ye has seen the pavilion master." ”
The other two people in the car also dismounted, and they had already put away the indifferent or playful posture when they were talking and laughing, changed their serious expressions, stepped forward together, and bowed down. Especially the girl, a few days ago, she was as bright as a flower, and she was as cold and arrogant as snow, but at this moment, she had a different look, her eyebrows and eyes were lowered, she was well-behaved, and under the restraint, she was even equal to that Huan Ye.
The man in Tsing Yi said, "Did you bring Cen Kexuan?" The girl in red said in a low voice: "Do not disgrace your mission." Huo Qingyuan on the side suddenly turned his head and glanced at her meaningfully, but did not make a sound, Huan Ye was still silent. The man in Tsing Yi stared down at the red-clothed girl who was kneeling on one knee in front of him, and did not let her get up, but suddenly said: "Xin'er, you took the initiative to ask to come to the Central Plains this time, but it surprised me. The girl's heart froze, but her face was unmoved: "As long as she can relieve the cabinet master's worries, Xin'er should do her best." ”
"Xin'er's words made me very pleased." The man in Tsing Yi said slowly: "So-" He suddenly paused, looked at Huo Qingyuan, and continued: "Since you have come to the Central Plains now, this time you will stay with Qingyuan and stand by." As for Mingruo Palace, you don't have to go back for the time being. ”
The woman in red was shocked. can't go back to Mingruo Palace, so wouldn't she-
"Of course, if there's a new mission, I'll send someone to inform you." The man in Tsing Yi said unslowly, the expression on his face was covered by the silver mask, making it impossible to guess his emotions.
This is undoubtedly a great challenge to Guo Xin'er, her mind is well known to everyone, but it is natural for her loyalty to the pavilion master to be questioned. However, once he betrayed or disobeyed the lord...... Huo Qingyuan lowered his head slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression. If he wants to stay in the Central Plains, he doesn't care, and even does it willingly, presumably the pavilion master is also very clear about this. However, Guo Xin'er she ...... Will you say yes?
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled through the gazebo on all the people, like countless starlight sprinkled on them, when the light and warm breeze blew by, thousands of green leaves floated, coming from far and near, rattling, lining this pavilion located on the higher ground is extremely empty. The clothes of the four people in the pavilion were blown up by the wind, and their eyes swayed, and the atmosphere became more and more silent.
"Xin'er...... Commanded. ”
The girl known as Xin'er fell to her knees and bowed her head. The emotions in the eyes covered by the long hair flashed quickly, and finally faded away, without a trace.
