Chapter 15: Encounters with Assassins at Night

A Xiuteng's face turned red, and he hurriedly dodged away and said, "I'm sweating all over my body, and I just finished playing shaking!" Wang Ye sit down and talk to Ah Xiu, and wait until I sweat and then talk, okay? Zhu Yuanzhang smiled when he heard this: "In this case, you sit and rest." Give me the rocker and let me spin around and stretch my hands and feet. Take a shower after a turn before going to sleep. Ah Xiu shook his head with a smile and a headache expression, took him a circle, sat at the table and watched.

"Sit down, I can make small talk with you like this." Zhu Yuanzhang said that he would turn around, but he gradually became proficient. Ah Xiu felt hot, took off his armor, and drank water while watching. Today, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't wear the clothes prepared by Ah Xiu, and he didn't know when he changed into a purple python robe, but it looked like a couple's outfit with the rose-purple gown on his body. Thinking of this, Ah Xiu chuckled: The fashion trends of this era have been mastered.

"Ah Xiu, what are you laughing at? Is it illegal to laugh at me? Zhu Yuanzhang was bewildered by her laughter, stopped and looked at it and asked. No, no, it's a funny thing that I remembered: you wear purple on you, and I wear purple too, which looks like a pair of sticks! Ah Xiu put down the teacup with a smile, covered her mouth with her hand, and replied with a smile, "The prince has been shaking so well recently!" Ah Xiu is also going to be compared, how can it be bad to laugh at the prince? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help laughing, and shook his head with a smile: "Hey! We are all grandfathers and grandmothers, and we like to laugh so much with our temperament, ashamed! Ah Xiu clapped his hands and said, "Yes, yes, I'm old and out of shape, how about it?" It's a coincidence today, I pointed out the family affairs to Mu Ying, and gave him the Qiaoyun in Huilan's room, and now he is in Biao'er's room, tomorrow I will let Biao'er go to the army with him, does the prince think it's okay? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned, frowned and thought about it carefully, before he smiled and said: "I thought about it for a while, but I still can't remember which girl it is!" Is it good to look and have a good temperament? If Ah Xiu thinks it's good, let's settle it! Wenzheng has a son, so it's time to find a daughter-in-law for our Mu Ying. It's not bad for Biao'er to learn a little about marching and fighting with him, but it's hard for Mrs. to think about it thoroughly, so I'm a little ashamed to be a father! With that, he continued to spin in circles and burst out laughing.

Obviously smiling and deliberately pursing his lips, Ah Xiu replied lukewarmly: "I just said that I came with my temperament, and now I praise me, is it really unpredictable?" Ah Xiu should be careful tomorrow, don't do anything wrong again and be punished by the prince. When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he stopped laughing, and the circle fell to the ground, and he pointed at Ah Xiu with his finger and said with a smile: "You, you!" I obeyed your clever mouth, and everyone in the house obeyed you, how can outsiders know that I am afraid of you is true! ”

Ah Xiu was stunned, shrugged his shoulders, and spread his hands: "I don't accept this." The prince just made fun of Ah Xiu. Don't talk about this, haven't you eaten, how can you say that you can't come back and come back? Is it to tease me? Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the circle, continued to shake it, and shook it steadily before he spoke: "I didn't deliberately tease Mrs., I really wanted to come back to sleep after dealing with affairs in the army." I ate the rice in the army, but the sleeve soup you made last time was very light and delicious, and I would like to drink a bowl. ”

"This is cheap! I'll go now, the prince and so on. Want anything else? Ah Xiu nodded and asked again. Madame, feel free to get some snacks, just don't be difficult to digest. Ah Xiu nodded, and didn't bring anyone, he covered the door and came out, walked to the kitchen, and when he reached the side garden, a figure came out of the cold, flashed in front of Ah Xiu, hidden in the shadow of the rockery, silently. Frightened, Ah Xiu's heart jumped, and he shouted: "Who! Stand up and speak! If you don't come out, I'll call someone! ”

The man didn't seem to be there, Ah Xiu asked in a low voice again, no one answered, and the courtyard was a little scary. Ah Xiu was also bold enough and courageous, so he didn't even call anyone, just walked over, lifted the lamp and looked at it, and sure enough, there was no one. Am I dazzled? It's impossible, such a big shadow flew over, how could it be dazzling, this is the side yard, usually when it's dark, there are not many people walking. Ah Xiuzheng was puzzled, and the back of his head ached and fainted.

When I woke up, I was on my bed, and in front of me was Zhu Yuanzhang's anxious face. Ah Xiu felt a sharp pain in his head. Who hit me? I'm! Bastards in the back! Wait for the old lady to catch you and pick your skin! Zhu Yuanzhang saw that she was awake, and his face finally softened. Sighing and worried, he asked, "I seemed to hear you shouting something from afar, so I hurried out to look, and saw you lying on the ground with your eyes closed, was it something that startled me?" ”

Ah Xiu shook his head angrily and replied, "Isn't it that I was surprised by something!" It's people! As soon as he said what had happened, Zhu Yuanzhang also frowned, thought about it, and then was shocked, looking at Ah Xiu with inquiring eyes, Ah Xiu nodded: "I mean either a thief or an assassin." Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly shouted outside the door: "Come on, search the house!" The princess saw the Assassins. Hurry up and show me, what kind of guy is so daring! The outsider answered and hurriedly went.

The pain of the back of the head was torn, Ah Xiu touched it, a big bag slightly smaller than an egg, and gritted his teeth angrily: "What a bastard, he doesn't even know how to steal, and he actually hit me on the head!" The hand touched around again, and he didn't feel anything unusual, Ah Xiuyou touched the jewelry on his head, and under this touch, he hurriedly looked at his wrist, and he was even more puzzled, and his eyes moved and said: "My hairpin jewelry is all there, this should not be a thief." It is amazing that he knocked me unconscious, but he did not hurt my life, and he did not look like a thief or an assassin! ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also frowned and said hesitantly: "It's strange to hear Madame say this, could it be a spy exploring the way?" Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised: "Yes! Can't be wrong! It's a spy, it's here to step on the plate! "Speaking of which, there was a commotion outside. Caught off guard, there was a sound in the room: "Tie your hands, pull side by side!" But it was the thief who spoke on the rooftop. There was a few swishing sounds in all directions, as if people had withdrawn.

Ah Xiu was frightened, he had never seen a real bandit in ancient times, but this time he opened his eyes, and even listened to the black words in the commentary. Seeing dead people in front of me is not as terrible as the scene now. Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly took Ah Xiu into his arms and shouted outside: "Chase me!" Be sure to catch one alive and come back! Outside, there was another response, Zhu Yuanzhang patted Ah Xiu's still trembling back, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Yuanzhang is here." "It's like a child.

The people gradually chased away, and a house slave reported outside the door: "Lord, princess: five men in black have escaped, Mu Ying and the sergeants of the courtyard have chased down on horseback, please calm the anger of the prince and the princess." Zhu Yuanzhang was about to get angry, but when he saw Ah Xiuse curled up in his arms, he suppressed his anger and said, "That's it!" It's serious to get people back. Feeling that Ah Xiu's hairpin was on his chest, Zhu Yuanzhang wrapped Ah Xiu's body with one hand, patted her back, and slowly touched it off with the other hand and put it at the head of the bed.

Ah Xiu's hair fell down one after another because it lost its fixation, Zhu Yuanzhang asked about a faint smell of hair oil, opened the ten fingers of both hands, probed into Ah Xiu's hair, rubbed it for her, and relaxed her nerves. Ah Xiu snorted comfortably, and Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and whispered, "Are you comfortable?" Are you still afraid? Ah Xiu in his arms moved, found a more comfortable angle, and promised softly like a cat: "Well, I'm afraid, I'm not afraid now." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled with relief, continued to rub her, and asked, "Why is your hair so lightly scented?" Ah Xiu replied without moving: "I wash my hair frequently, I don't like to wipe my hair oil, if I don't comb my hair and only wear a crown, I don't even like to wipe my hair oil!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Why?" Ah Xiu chuckled: "It's just a quirk, I don't like that thing." "Oh? So what does Ah Xiu like? ”

Hearing the question, Ah Xiu still stayed in Zhu Yuanzhang's arms and refused to get up, and said with a low smile: "I like that when I just washed it, I draped my hair and let the wind get into my hair, which was cool and tight!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Hehe! So let's get cold! You're getting thinner and thinner when you come in, no better than those sturdy girls, don't be weird! Ah Xiu heard this and laughed too.

The two stayed quietly and chatted, and after less than half an hour, the thief returned. Mu Ying stood outside the door and whispered: "Lord and Princess: Mu Ying is ashamed, only one person was arrested, and the rest ran away." Ah Xiu hurriedly straightened up, so that Zhu Yuanzhang could get up. Patting Ah Xiu's shoulder, Zhu Yuanzhang said outside the house: "Take someone to the front hall and wait for me." He whispered to Ah Xiu again, "You sleep, I'll go and see." I'll send you a vigil and sleep in peace, you don't have to wait for me." ”

Ah Xiu nodded obediently, watched Zhu Yuanzhang go out, pulled his hair back, and lay down. After a while, I couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, Ah Xiu got up and went to the dresser, took the lotus crown, circled her hair, buckled it on the top of her head, fixed it with a hairpin with a lotus flower, put on a bijia, and pushed the door out. When the guard at the door saw it, he hurriedly saluted and said, "Where is the princess going?" Sending you there? ”

"No, just give me a lamp." Ah Xiu's tone was light. The sergeant hurriedly handed over the lamp, and said uneasily: "I just caught the thief, I'm afraid that Madame will still take a few people to move around." Ah Xiu nodded: "Then you just follow from afar, I don't like people to follow too close." The sergeant took the order, called a few young and shrewd people, and followed Ah Xiu forward.

Walking to the gate of the front yard, Ah Xiu asked the sergeants to wait in place, and he stepped forward gently, listening to the voice in the courtyard, "Say!" Who the hell let you come?! "It's Zhu Yuanzhang's voice." No...... Never...... Someone let ...... Let me. Ah Xiu looked over and saw that it was a person lying on the ground talking. Ah Xiu saw Mu Ying go up and kick the man, and shouted angrily: "Bold! The prince asked, do you think you can get by! Let's do it quickly! ”
