Chapter 139: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell (3)
Dingshui Town is located in the west of Luoyang City more than ten miles, the Zhang family happens to have a house there, Zhang Minzhi originally planned to go south, at this moment to hear her say this, he immediately changed his mind, he swallowed his saliva, a little nervously said: "This forest is at night, inevitably there are beasts and bandits, the girl is a woman, it is really inconvenient." Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoIf the girl doesn't give up, don't go with me. He paused, then added, "Xiao Sheng happens to be going here too." ”
In this world, as long as you have a heart, you can always go by the way, the woman didn't ask much after hearing this, smiled faintly at him, and nodded.
When the two of them arrived at the intersection, they happened to meet a passing convoy, so they stepped forward to negotiate, and finally Zhang Minzhi paid for a carriage at a much higher price than usual. With a beautiful woman on his side, he naturally didn't mind this bit of money, and helped the woman into the car, still with a smile on his face. The woman also smiled faintly, and accidentally met her gaze, Zhang Minzhi was uncomfortable, like a hairy boy who had never seen the world, and her heart was pounding.
What that meant, he knew all too well. Even so, he still mustered up the courage to ask, "Please forgive Xiaosheng for taking the liberty of not knowing the girl's surname?" The woman smiled and said softly, "You call me Yao'er." "This person is Hua Yao. Hua Yao's appearance is stunning, and her speech at this moment is gentle and soft, which makes people feel sorry for her. Zhang Minzhi silently called Yao'er for two sentences, and unexpectedly gave birth to an inexplicable feeling that he had never had.
He was embarrassed for a while, and he was afraid that Hua Yao would see it, so he coughed lightly, straightened his clothes and said, "I don't know where the girl is going?" Although Xiaosheng's martial arts are mediocre, there are still a few coins, and there happens to be a courtyard in Dingshui Town. ”
Hua Yao smiled: "I'm going to stay in the town for a while, and wait for someone to come and look for me." She hesitated a little and asked, "I wonder if I can borrow the Son's Mansion to live for a few days?" ”
Zhang Min was overjoyed, and said politely on his face: "I'm afraid that the girl will dislike it." ”
While the two were talking, they got into the carriage, Zhang Minzhi spoke carefully, and was extremely polite, got into the carriage and sat down, and separated from her for a while, not daring to have half a point of transgression and contempt, every time I saw her smile at herself, I suddenly felt that my life in the past 20 years was so bleak. He prefers beauties in his own service, and often wanders in Fengyue places, but at the moment he is like an honest scholar, well-behaved, for fear of offending her and being rude to this girl.
The two of them traveled west in a horse-drawn carriage and soon entered the town. There are not many people in this town, a little peaceful, but there are many peonies in the town, every year when the flowers bloom, the world has rushed to Luoyang, but Zhang Minzhi likes to live alone in this town temporarily, enjoy the flowers and rest, of course, carry a beautiful woman is a lot. However, as mysterious as Hua Yao, which made him flustered, the girl who was like a fairy was still the first one.
Zhang Minzhi took Hua Yao to the entrance, and said very politely sideways: "This is my occasional temporary residence, although it is not magnificent, but I have hired a lot of people to take care of the decoration on weekdays, and I can barely move in. Hua Yao smiled faintly at him: "Childe is really polite, to find a place to live in this town, Yao'er is very grateful to Childe." ”
Hua Yao has always been gentle and gentle when she speaks, beautiful and moving, Zhang Min was fascinated for a while, and said obsessively: "If the girl has any needs, arrange it for the next person." Hua Yao nodded, smiled again and thanked her, and while the two were talking, they entered the house at the same time, and they saw an unexpected figure in the courtyard. The man was quite arrogant, with cold eyebrows, looking at the two people who entered the entrance, but did not speak.
Zhang Minzhi was overjoyed and said, "Jiansheng, why are you back?" ”
This person is the man in black who fought with the Shuangyan Dart Bureau in Furong Town and wanted to snatch the ice lotus, and he is also Zhang Minzhi's younger brother Zhang Jiansheng. After hearing this, he glanced at Hua Yao coldly, but only said to Zhang Minzhi: "Big brother, can you come to the study, I have something to ask you." He was concise and straightforward, ignoring Hua Yao very directly, and even had no basic etiquette greetings.
However, Zhang Jiansheng has been like this since he was a child, he is very indifferent to others, Zhang Minzhi didn't mind, he hesitated for a moment, guessed that Zhang Jiansheng might have something to say to him, or said to Hua Yao: "Miss Yao'er, I ordered someone to prepare a room for you, can you go and rest for a while?" No matter how he was fascinated, he wouldn't be able to tell the urgency of the matter, seeing Hua Yao nodded, Zhang Minzhi called a maid and said, "Take this girl to the Lotus Fragrance Pavilion, be careful, don't be half lazy, otherwise you will ask." ”
The little girl had probably never seen Zhang Minzhi speak so harshly, so she nodded nervously and obeyed, so she got up and led Hua Yao down. When Hua Yao turned to leave, the silver bell on her waist made a slight sound, and her back was as beautiful as a flower in the water, the fairy in the moon, Zhang Minzhi looked at the back obsessively, and sighed unconsciously, the little girl next to Hua Yao also secretly glanced at her several times, and saw that the white skin could be broken by blowing, the red lips seemed to be dripping blood, and the curled eyelashes were as light as butterfly wings, and thought: I don't know who this girl is? is so good-looking, no wonder it seems to have taken away the soul of the eldest prince.
She remembered that none of the girls that the eldest prince had brought back had ever made him care so much. But...... She secretly glanced at Hua Yao again, those girls, how can this one be good-looking?
Everyone loves beauty, who doesn't have a little compassion for beauty? But Zhang Jiansheng's expression was still unmoved, he looked at this scene coldly, and suddenly said: "Since ancient times, there are many femme fatales, especially those beautiful women, it is better for the eldest brother to be careful." ”
The courtyard was so silent that you could hear the sound of embroidery needles falling to the ground.
This man is really ...... It's too straightforward.
It couldn't be clearer who he was referring to, Hua Yao's slow steps suddenly stopped. The little girl is not stupid, after hearing the meaning of the words, her eyes are rolling around, and she is so nervous. Zhang Minzhi was even more embarrassed, he didn't know how to round the field, he hesitated for a long time, but he still planned to speak, but Hua Yao left unhurriedly after a moment's pause, as if he hadn't heard anything.
The frozen atmosphere disappeared without a trace in an instant. Zhang Minzhi breathed a sigh of relief, so he had to turn to Zhang Jiansheng and say, "Let's go to the study." I thought to myself: Ming Xuan was injured by Miss Yao'er not long ago, but Jian Sheng, who had just returned, didn't know her at all, probably just thought she was a beautiful woman he didn't know from nowhere. If Ming Xuan came and told what happened outside the city a few days ago, then with Jiansheng's tough character, he would definitely be very ruthless to Miss Yao'er, and he would definitely not let this happen.
On the wall of the study, there is a row full of bookshelves, and the bookshelves are densely packed with books, Zhang Minzhi is indeed a real reader, but he has not learned the great ambition in the sage book, but he loves beautiful and flashy things, loves love poetry and sentences, exquisite calligraphy and painting. It is as if only in books can you see extremely beautiful things that have never been seen in reality. The two entered the study, and after closing the door, Zhang Minzhi sat down at the desk and sighed: "Jiansheng, you are too impulsive." ”
Zhang Jiansheng stood straight in front of him, separated from him by a table, looked him in the eye and said, "What the hell is going on?" He followed the Shuangyan Dart Bureau all the way, and fought with the other party several times in Furong Town, but in the end, he only saw a pile of stones in the escort box, which made him very confused. He frowned and said, "This is what Big Brother means?" Why didn't you tell me? ”
Zhang Minzhi sat at the table and sighed before he said, "If you hadn't hurried to rob the darts, how would everyone believe that Binglian had really been sent away?" ”
Zhang Jiansheng was stunned and said, "I thought that the eldest brother was greedy for life and afraid of death, so in order to avoid the disaster, he gave away the ice lotus. He did not hesitate to quarrel with his eldest brother, chased to the south alone, and finally managed to deal with the pair of swallow darts outside Furong Town at the foot of Qingluan Mountain. However, he and Du Xiaoshan fought fiercely that day, and it took a long time to try to get rid of her, and chased after the escorted goods, only to see that the three escorted people had died in Huangquan, and the box was opened, and it was full of stones.
This result was not only him, but even Du Xiaoshan was quite surprised.
"I thought that the ice lotus had been snatched away, but Du Xiaoshan came later and told me that she didn't know about the ice lotus at all." It's just that they received the money, and the goods were bound to be delivered, even if it was a stone, and even if three people had died, they still continued to go south with the box, which happened in Qingshan, Wuzhou, but Zhang Jiansheng, who had already left in Furong Town, did not know.
Zhang Minzhi let out a long sigh and said, "They really don't know, so after suffering heavy casualties, they rushed back to Luoyang City, and I must give them an explanation." I'm here to avoid them. He stood up, walked back and forth in the room for a few steps, shook his head and said, "You probably haven't heard that their group was killed in Qingshan, Wuzhou, not far from Furong Town, except for Du Xiaoshan, none of them survived. He sighed, showing a headache: "How do you think I should explain this matter to them, how can it be resolved?" ”
Zhang Jiansheng was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Who made such a poisonous move?" ”
Zhang Minzhi said: "Purple Cloud Palace, Huayue Great Protector." Those people were strangled to death from their necks, and it was Hua Yue's best use of the long whip to directly strangle the opponent.
"She's also for Ice Lotus?"
Zhang Minzhi sighed: "I'm afraid so." There was extreme helplessness in his tone.
"There are no treasures in the Purple Cloud Palace, do you even want Murong Qi?" Zhang Jiansheng frowned, only then did he realize the seriousness of the matter, if even Murong Qi had moved his mind, then their Zhang family was indeed guilty, and the situation was not good.
Zhang Minzhi listened to his words, suddenly laughed, and said with grievances: "That pair of swallow darts naturally didn't dare to go to Ziyun Palace to ask for an explanation, so they found me." He sneered: "It's just picking soft persimmons to pinch, seeing that our Zhang family is easy to bully now." ”
Zhang Jiansheng didn't take the Shuangyan Dart Bureau to heart, but was worried that Murong Qi would intervene, he looked into Zhang Minzhi's eyes, and asked uncertainly, "Is the ice lotus really still hiding in our house?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the woman who had taken off the bell outside the eaves immediately stopped breathing, tilted her head and listened carefully, and there was a little solemnity between her eyebrows and eyes. After a long time, the real answer came faintly from the house, and Zhang Minzhi sighed slightly: "There is no ice lotus at all." ”
This is the final truth. He was indeed very excited about Hua Yao, but his brain was still there, and he was not so stupid as to know that she had bad intentions, and he was relieved to boldly lead the wolf into the room. It's just that there is no such thing, Hua Yao is just to find this lotus, and it will not hinder him if she searches this mansion upside down, so he is not afraid.
What's more, he was genuinely obsessed with her.
The eyes of the two people inside and outside the house widened in shock at the same time, and Zhang Jiansheng said, "No? How could there be such a spread on the rivers and lakes? "Obviously unbelievable. Zhang Minzhi shook his head and smiled: "As a member of the Zhang family, have you ever seen this thing?" ”
"I thought it was the most important treasure in the family, so my father and mother never showed it easily. I've always guessed that in addition to my father and mother, only my eldest brother has seen me, I have been practicing martial arts in Kongtong since I was a child, and I rarely return home, and I know very little about things at home......" His voice gradually became smaller, and his tone was also a little self-reproachful.
"If there really is an ice lotus, I have already taken it and practiced the peerless divine skill, and I don't have to hide here." Zhang Minzhi was quite helpless and indignant when he spoke, "If I don't try to make the people in the rivers and lakes think that Binglian is no longer in the Zhang family, how can we avoid this flood of people with bad intentions?" ”
Zhang Jiansheng said: "We can tell the truth and tell everyone-" Before the words were finished, Zhang Minzhi had already laughed, Zhang Jiansheng suddenly paused, and realized the innocence of his words. When they say this, of course the people will not believe it, and it will only make people think that they are afraid of inviting right and wrong, and there is no silver here. Zhang Jiansheng muttered and asked, "Who walked out the news that the Zhang family has ice lotus?" Over the years, even he, as a member of the Zhang family, has been deceived.
Zhang Minzhi let out a long sigh, then looked out the window and said slowly: "This story starts from ten years ago......" (to be continued.) )
