Chapter 16: The Meaning of the Drunkard
Xiao Zhiling felt that she had been greatly humiliated, and she didn't care about it, she was about to fight with Mu Mingxue with her fists, Xiao Feng shouted: "Okay! Ling'er! If you are not as good as others, you must be willing to gamble and lose, and you will not quit quickly! Xiao Zhiling's fist was about to go to Mu Mingxue, when she heard Xiao Feng shout, she snorted, and glared at Mu Mingxue fiercely, her face full of resentment.
Xiao Feng didn't care about the rude daughter, and said to Mu Mingxue: "Miss Mu, please forgive the little girl for being rude!" Miss Mu's swordsmanship is superb, which really opened the old man's eyes, and Miss Mu is invited to take a seat. ”
Luo Chen looked left and right, but he couldn't see Ye Wan, thinking that he didn't know when he would be in the courtyard. Luo Chen turned around and returned to the Jing Kite Pavilion, only to see Ye Wan sitting there drinking alone. Mu Mingxue walked to Ye Wan's side, and Ye Wan nodded to her. After everyone sat down, Xiao Feng asked Xiao Zhiling to apologize to Mu Mingxue, Xiao Zhiling gave a toast with a reluctant face, and then sat there and stopped talking.
"Wood Girl's swordsmanship is so exquisite, I don't know where Wood Girl came from, and who taught her swordsmanship?"
"No, my swordsmanship is not worth mentioning, I just know a little bit about defense, and thank you Miss Xiao for your concession, if it is really compared, I am afraid that I am not Miss Xiao's opponent." The corners of Xiao Feng's mouth moved, and then he smiled: "Ho, Miss Mu is not only chivalrous but also humble and open-minded, Ling'er, you have to learn from Miss Mu." The corners of Xiao Zhiling's mouth were already so pouting that they were about to reach the tips of her eyebrows, she glanced at Xiao Feng and didn't dare to attack. There are really many people in this world who are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. A cup to the many capable people and righteous people in this world, please! ”
"Please!" After speaking, Xiao Feng drank it all.
Xiao Feng was full of pride, the more he chatted, the happier he became, and he invited one glass after another of wine, and then simply let everyone fill it with a bowl. About an hour later, Mu Mingxue was very drunk, she couldn't afford to sit at the desk, her cheeks were red, Luo Chen saw her appearance, and asked Xiao Feng to resign, saying that she would come back another day and continue to have a good drink with him. Xiao Feng was not forced to stay, so he got up and wanted to send the three of them out of the house.
Mu Mingxue staggered on foot, fell down, and was fortunately caught by Ye Wan. Seeing this, Ye Wan picked up Mu Mingxue with both hands and walked outside the mansion. Ye Wan hugged her on the horse, sat on the same horse, and led Mu Mingxue's horse with the other hand, Luo Chen led the way in front, and swung back leisurely.
As soon as she arrived at Wuyaju, Xi Ji came out of the gate of the mansion from a distance and helped Mu Mingxue to get off the horse.
"Why are you drunk like this?" Xi Ji helped Mu Mingxue and said to Ye Wan leisurely.
Ye Wan looked helpless, didn't say a word, picked up Mu Mingxue and walked to the wing room. Luo Chen instructed the guards to lead the horses and went back to the room. When she arrived at the wing, Ye Wan helped Mu Mingxue to lie down on the bed. As soon as she lay down, Mu Mingxue opened her eyes and asked in a low voice, "How is the Chief's Mansion going?" ”
It is thought that Mu Mingxue is pretending to be drunk, first, she wants everyone to know that she is drunk and unconscious, and now she can only go back to the house to rest, and secondly, she wants to avoid outsiders and ask if Ye Wan has explored the chief's mansion.
"After a rough look, there is only one heavily guarded place, like a dungeon entrance."
"Okay, let's go tonight." Mu Mingxue sat up and put her hand on her forehead, "The wine in the Chief's Mansion is really powerful, and if I drink it for another half an hour, I will really be unconscious." ”
Ye Wan shook her head and said with a smile: "How much you drink, I don't know, I didn't see you faint after drinking enough all night back then, why is it not as good as before." ”
After a while, someone outside the door approached, the two stopped talking, and someone knocked on the door gently, it turned out to be Xiji who sent him to understand the wine soup. Xi Ji pushed the door and saw that Ye Wan was beside the bed, she put down the hangover soup, and walked quickly to the door, not wanting to be stopped by Ye Wan.
"Miss Xiji stays. Let's go out together. After speaking, Ye Wan walked to the door and gently closed the door with Xi Ji. The two didn't walk for a while, and Ye Wanzhong couldn't help but ask: "What are you running away from in a panic, as if someone is going to eat you." ”
"You and Miss Mu are in the room, so it's not good to cause you trouble. If I stay there, I'm going to say nothing else. ”
Ye Wan felt that Xi Ji was embarrassed to talk to herself for no reason, which was really funny. He approached Xiji and asked, "She and I are innocent, and the sun and the moon can be seen." What if you stay? ”
Xi Ji looked sideways at Ye Wan's face and got closer, her face turned red, and she stood farther away, she turned her face sideways and said, "You know it in your own heart, and you still want to ask me." If you really like her, why don't you tell her that she has this intention to make fun of me. After saying that, Xiji ran back to her room with a smoke.
Ye Wan listened to Xi Ji's words and stood in place, motionless. He remembered that two years ago, at the top of Ruyun Peak, he found Mu Mingxue and Yin Shaohan both lying in the snow, surrounded by corpses. Yinxin finally rescued the two of them, Ye Wan stayed by Mu Mingxue's side, and heard Mu Mingxue muttering to herself in a coma: "Is it okay for Senior Brother Yin to marry me?" Later, Ye Wan saw Mu Mingxue sitting alone on the edge of the pool, so she didn't ask anything, and hugged the altar to drink wine with her all night.
Thinking of this, Ye Wan sighed lightly. The so-called you have affection and I have no intention, you are ruthless when I have a heart, things in this world are difficult to do both, why do you want to force it, but you lose your chic and graceful.
The hour had just arrived, and it was quiet in the dead of night. Mu Mingxue, dressed in black, and Ye Wan quietly entered the leader's mansion
Mu Mingxue and Ye Wan visited from outside the backyard wall, the backyard guards of the leader's mansion were lax, and when the two saw that no one was patrolling, they turned over and jumped to the eaves. The two shuttled on the eaves, and it didn't take long for Ye Wan to lean down, only to see a building in front of him, and the plaque reads "Wenfeng Building", and from a distance, you can see that the indoor bookshelves are lined up, and it can be seen that this is the study in the chief's mansion, and I saw two rows of guards standing in front of the door of the study.
"This is the entrance to the dungeon?" Mu Mingxue asked softly.
"Isn't it strange that there are so many guards in one study?"
"Definitely. However, there are too many guards, and if we break into it rashly, we will definitely alarm the entire chief's mansion, and then we are afraid that it will be very troublesome. ”
"Well" At this time, Ye Wan caught a glimpse of a woman coming out of the study at the covered bridge in front of her, followed by a maid. I don't know if it's cold in the middle of the night, but the woman is wearing a cape with a hood. Ye Wan recognized this person as Xiao Zhiling from afar, thinking that the time had come at this time, I don't know why Xiao Zhiling was still in the courtyard late at night? The corners of Ye Wan's mouth raised, glanced at Mu Mingxue, signaled "follow me", shuttled along the eaves all the way to the courtyard adjacent to the backyard, and stopped on the roof of a house.
It didn't take long to see Xiao Zhiling walking in this direction and entering the house directly, Ye Wan uncovered the tiles, and Mu Mingxue took the opportunity to look inside the house from the roof. Ho! It turned out that under him was Xiao Zhiling's boudoir. At this time, I saw Xiao Zhiling pacing in the room in a hurry, without the slightest hint of sleepiness.
"I will repay this disgrace twice as much! That fox and demon girl actually made Miss Ben lose face in front of her father and Brother Luo! After speaking, Xiao Zhiling slapped the table and sat down. The maid who was standing on the side hurriedly stepped forward to pour tea and comfort, "I said Miss, you can't be angry with that demon girl, you are the daughter of the Chief's Mansion, she is just an unknown person from the countryside, where can I compare with you." If you want me to say, Luo Shaoxia still favors you, Miss. ”
"Although Brother Luo doesn't protect me clearly, I also know that he also loves me." Xiao Zhiling listened to the maid's explanation, and shyly pulled up the corner of her skirt. As he spoke, he suddenly became fierce again: "That demon girl! Look how long she wants to stay by Brother Luo's side! ”
Ye Wan looked at Mu Mingxue, and then at Xiao Zhiling, she couldn't help but smile, who would have thought that she would laugh out loud, Xiao Zhiling in the house heard the sound and drank out of the window: "Who!" ”
This sound instantly alarmed the guards in the courtyard, and they rushed to the door to ask Xiao Zhiling what was wrong. Mu Mingxue and Ye Wan hid on the other side of the roof, and then they heard the sound of the guards scattering and starting to search.
"Meow~~" At this time, a wild cat happened to rush into the tile, Mu Mingxue's eyes moved, and the stone in his hand was thrown, and the wild cat was so startled that he crossed the roof directly, screamed from Xiao Zhiling's eaves, and jumped down. When the maid saw the wild cat fall from the house in a hurry, she was shocked: "Ah! Miss, it turned out to be the black cat on the house! ”
"Oh, it turned out that it was the cat in the middle of the night, which scared Miss." The guard in the lead said respectfully.
Xiao Zhiling squinted at the cat, perhaps sleepy, and said lazily: "Since this is the case, then let's disperse." I am also tired. When he returned to his room, the door was closed.
"There are a lot of guards here, and there are quite a few of them, and we insist on breaking into that building, I am afraid it will not be conducive to our actions." Ye Wan said softly, "It seems that we need to borrow Miss Xiao." ”
