Chapter 67: The Mystery of the Killing (17)
Haoyue walked into the study, brought in a ray of golden sunlight behind her, saw the scroll in Haotian's hand at a glance, shook her head and said: "It's been ten years, how many days and nights, that pain should be lightened, why do you bother to forget?" ”
Haotian sighed gloomily: "How can you tell me to forget?" It's so unclear and unclear, how do you tell me to let go? ”
Haoyue shook her head and asked, "Then what do you want?" ”
Haotian said in a deep voice: "I want an answer." Unfolding the scroll and looking at the mess that had been scratched, Haotian said: "After so many years, even if she doesn't care about my feelings, how can she not care about the feelings of her parents, they only have a daughter like her, if everything is fine, she will definitely try to inform the second elder Ouyang and make them feel at ease." ”
Haoyue shook her head again: "How do you know that she didn't secretly contact the family?" Although you have been paying attention to this aspect, it is difficult to guarantee that you have not missed anything. ”
Haotian smiled bitterly: "I used to think the same way, but now I can conclude that Second Elder Ouyang is the same as me, and I don't know her whereabouts." ”
Haoyue asked, "Why is the sixth brother so sure?" ”
Haotian said: "In the past few years, every once in a while, I will go to visit the second elder Ouyang, no matter what, there is always a relationship between the son-in-law, a few days ago is Mrs. Ouyang's fiftieth birthday, her old man is not only not a little festive, but more haggard than in previous years, when I see a young woman, I think of Rou'er, if they know Rou'er's whereabouts, how can it be this situation?" Rou'er is extremely filial, even if she is afraid of me, taboos me, and guards against me, she will never let her parents worry so much. ”
Haoyue said: "What does the sixth brother mean, may something happen to her?" ”
Haotian said: "I always thought that Rou'er would find a secret place with that man and be happy together, but the person who destroyed the painting reminded me that there may be another possibility, coupled with the current situation of Ouyang Erlao, I can't help but be suspicious?" Also, the person who destroyed the painting drew Rou'er's face like this, there must be a reason for this, and the more I look at this painting, the more frightened I become. Besides, that day I saw someone who looked exactly like Rou'er in Ningxiang Pavilion, what the hell was going on? So I'm going to get this straight. ”
Haoyue nodded and said, "I agree with you finding her, but there is one thing I want to ask you, if she is alive and well, maybe two or three children have been born in the past few years, how will you stay?" ”
Haotian muttered softly: "I have a knot in my heart, I can't untie it without seeing her, if it's really like what you said, then I'll tell her that you don't need to hide anymore." ”
Haoyue smiled heartily: "It would be great if you could think so. ”
Haotian said again: "According to Zitong, it is a woman who destroys this painting, how many people can go in and out of the palace and be elusive?" ”
Haoyue said: "There are not many people, just why?" These ladies of the sixth brother are all later, if it is because of jealousy, but it is not necessarily, they may not even know Ouyang Rou. ”
Haotian shook his head and said, "There is one who recognizes." ”
Haoyue suddenly realized: "You doubt her? ”
Haotian said: "Otherwise, who can there be?" ”
Haoyue nodded, and suddenly smiled: "Zitong was the first to find out that this painting was destroyed, and you always embarrassed her during that time, maybe she would draw Ouyang Qing with a big face when she was angry." ”
Haotian frowned and said, "How could Zitong do such a thing!" Haoyue looked at him with a smile and did not answer.
Haotian saw the look on his face and turned around silently.
Haoyue sat down: "Speaking of this girl's temper, I can understand it this time, it's been more than half a month, no matter what you coax, she just loves to ignore it, just now I went to her to see if there is a turnaround, but this girl is not there, I don't know where to go?" ”
Haotian smiled helplessly, "At this hour, she should be with the Jade Girl Sword Jiang Mengying." ”
Haoyue asked in surprise, "How could Zitong be with her?" ”
Haotian said: "The Jade Girl Sword is the martial artist I found for Zitong. ”
Haoyue looked curious: "You let Zitong practice martial arts?" Why did you suddenly have this thought? ”
Haotian said: "This girl is naturally active, if she doesn't find something for her, she won't necessarily have any thoughts, and nothing else can arouse her curiosity, only this one, so that she can stay in the palace honestly, moreover, Jiang Mengying is obviously a martial artist, but secretly she is a personal guard carefully selected by me for Zitong, and now there is a lot of crisis in the palace, I don't want her to have any problems." ”
Haoyue secretly sighed Haotian's hard work, then raised her head and smiled: "Interesting, what is Zitong's martial arts practice like, let's go over and take a look." ”
Haotian walked to the bookcase and said in a low voice: "Go over by yourself, they are on Luoyun Mountain." ”
Haoyue said: "I went over by myself? This girl must be ignoring it again, let's go together. ”
Haotian smiled bitterly in his heart, he wouldn't be much better in the past? During this time, he avoided Zitong, and Zitong also avoided him, thinking that he hadn't seen a photo for more than ten days, he sighed and took out a sandalwood box from the cabinet on the side, "You go over and give this to her, she will definitely be happy." ”
Haoyue opened the box, and inside was a dagger with a one-foot-long gold and jade sheath inlaid with colorful orbs.
Haotian said: "This dagger is called 'Blue Water Marks', and it is a rare treasure to cut gold and cut iron. ”
Haoyue lightly pressed the spring at the handle of the dagger, pulled out the dagger and watched, seeing the dagger shining coldly, the sword aura was like a rainbow, and she admired, "Sure enough, it is a rare blade, as the saying goes, 'the sword is given to the strongest, and the red powder is given to the beauty', how did you think of sending Zitong this?" ”
Haotian lowered his head and smiled: "Jiang Mengying is teaching Zitong some emergency dexterous sword styles now, the sword in the palace is too long and heavy, it is not suitable for her to use, I asked someone to make a wooden sword for her to use first, this girl seems to have been dissatisfied, you go over and hand over this 'blue water mark' to her now, she will definitely be happy." ”
Haoyue shook her head slightly: "Your things, you sent them yourself, why did you fake others?" As he spoke, he grabbed Haotian's arm with one hand.
On Luoyun Mountain, Zi Tong looked at the wooden sword in his hand and sighed.
Jiang Mengying smiled and asked, "Zitong, you don't seem to be happy?" ”
Zitong sighed again: "Sister Ying, is it okay to lend me your sword, this wooden sword has no momentum at all." ”
Before Jiang Mengying could answer, someone snickered: "Zitong, even if you use a real sword, you may not be able to dance with momentum, I think you will still use that wooden sword!" ”
Ah Fu and the left wing flashed out from behind a rock.
Zi Tong saw that the smile on his face was clearly what it meant, his face turned red, and he said coquettishly: "You little thing dare to underestimate me," walked to the stone table, and picked up Jiang Mengying's bronze sword: "Sister Ying, your sword lends me, I want to show this little thing to show him how powerful I am." ”
Jiang Mengying hurriedly said: "Zitong, no." ”
Zi Tong begged with a smile: "Sister Ying is out of the way, I'll only borrow it for a short while." Jiang Mengying had no choice but to give up.
Zitong came to Ah Fu's face: "You kid take a good look, this is the first style of the Jade Maiden Sword's 'Cloud Opening Mist Dispersion'." ”
Zitong couldn't help but have some difficulty using a real sword for the first time, but he still showed Ah Fu a serious practice of one move at a time.
Ah Fu saw that a bronze sword was held in her hand like a big iron cone, obviously clumsy, chaotic and disorganized, but the person who danced the sword felt good about himself, and his face was proud, which was really indescribably funny.
Zi Tong said again: "The second style of the Jade Girl Sword 'Willow Dark Flowers'." ”
When Zitong finished dancing the second style, Ah Fu couldn't hold back a smile and said: "Zitong, the names of your two styles should be changed, the first style should be called 'the clouds have not opened and the fog has not dispersed', and the second style should be called 'The willows are dark and the flowers are dark." That's the right thing. ”
Zi Tong knew that his swordsmanship was really not flattering, but when he saw Ah Fu smiling happily, he was indescribably happy in his heart, so he became more and more excited.
Haoyue, who was not far away, shook her head again and again: "Sixth brother, I really sympathize with Jiang Mengying, how will she teach such an apprentice in the future, I really doubt that Jiang Mengying has offended you before, so you gave her a big problem." ”
Looking at Zitong, Haotian couldn't help but wonder, this girl really has no talent at all in this regard.
Zitong smiled and said to Ah Fu: "How can I admire it." ”
Ah Fu was already smiling.
Zitong's eyes flowed, and she looked back at Jiang Mengying and Zuo Yi and smiled: "Sister Ying, Brother Zuo, I dance well, do you think I will be 'better than blue' in the future?" ”
Jiang Mengying and Zuo Yi nodded with a smile.
Haoyue shook her head and sighed: "This girl really doesn't have any self-knowledge. ”
The corners of Haotian's mouth rippled with a gentle smile like water.
Zi Tong said again: "Ah Fu, look at it, the third style of the Jade Girl Sword 'Swallow Turns Back'." ”
Zi Tong waved his sword in his right hand, turned around and handed it forward, so he turned around, and saw Haotian standing in front of him at a glance, Zi Tong saw his deep eyes staring at himself for a moment, and for a moment, he forgot the movements in his hands and everything around him, and he could only see the two pools of deep and deep in his eyes, as well as the warm smile that seemed to be there, his face was hot, didn't he see all the tricks just now?
Suddenly, Haotian removed the smile on his face, Zitong was wondering in his heart, and heard Ah Fu's exclamation in his ears: "Zitong, be careful!" ”
It was too late, Zitong was unsuspectingly tripped over a stone under her feet, and her body involuntarily fell forward. What's worse is that the sword in his hand is too heavy, and he didn't withdraw or hand it out for a while, Zi Tong only felt that his face hit the blade, but fortunately, he only felt a little pain, and he was picked up and held in his arms.
Seeing a drop of blood gradually oozing from Zitong's forehead, Haotian frowned. Zitong looked at him blankly, and it took a while to come back to his senses, and found that his feet seemed to be rootless in his arms, his face was red, and he timidly pushed Haotian away, and then took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and gently covered his forehead.
Haotian sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "Why are you so careless? ”
With just this sentence, Zitong's resentment against him in the past few days suddenly disappeared, and then he realized that he hadn't seen him for more than ten days, and he really missed him in his heart, and a thousand words were blocked in his chest, and finally whispered: "It's not you who hurt him." ”
Haotian stared at her in a daze, for a moment, his heart seemed to be happy and worried, and he couldn't say a word.
Haoyue, Jiang Mengying, Ah Fu, and Zuo Yi surrounded them together, and Jiang Mengying nervously held Zitong's hand: "Did you hurt your face?" Let me take a look. ”
Zitong hurriedly said: "It's okay, it's only broken a little." ”
Jiang Mengying said uneasily: "Lord Wang, it's all because your subordinates are not good, you shouldn't let Miss Zitong use that sword." ”
Zitong glanced at Haotian and said, "It's none of Sister Ying's business. ”
Haotian saw everyone's eyes spinning around his and Zitong's bodies, and turned unnaturally to Haoyue and said lightly: "Let's go back to the study." ”
Haoyue smiled: "Let's go, didn't you say to give this 'blue water mark' to Zitong?" ”
Zi Tong looked at Haoyue's hand curiously, and saw that it was a golden jade dagger embedded with a jewel, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't help but take it with his hand, but he was unexpectedly taken in his hand by Haotian first.
Haotian looked at the blush on Zitong's forehead, and said slowly: "This thing can't be given to you." ”
Zitong asked anxiously, "Why?" ”
Haotian said: "I have changed my mind. As he spoke, he turned around to leave, but Zitong pulled his sleeve: "You told me why you changed your mind?" ”
Haotian turned his eyes to look at her, and said slowly: "This thing is as sharp as clay, and it was given to you today, maybe tomorrow you will clumsily cut off your fingers." ”
Zitong pursed her lips and said slowly: "How can people be so stupid? ”
Haotian looked at her quietly, wanting to say something, but he wanted to say something and stopped, and was about to turn away, but he saw the slender hand holding his cuffs, and for a while a variety of expressions intertwined and changed on his face, and he felt powerless.
Zi Tong saw that his eyes were fixed on his hands, so he smiled lightly.
The smile that greeted his eyes made Haotian suffocate in his chest, and he couldn't help but clench the 'blue water marks' in his hand, hardened his heart, turned around, and strode forward.
Zitong sighed helplessly at the distant back, and then turned to look at Haoyue.
Haoyue shook her head and smiled: "It's useless to see me, the things are his, if you want to, you can ask him for it." ”
Zitong shook his head listlessly and said, "He didn't even say he would give it." ”
Haoyue smiled: "If you really want it, he will definitely give it." ”
Zi Tong flashed his eyes and asked, "Is this true?" ”
Haoyue smiled: "Won't you know if you give it a try?" After thinking about it for a while, Zi Tong smiled and said, "This makes sense. ”
