Chapter 4 The Lady of Qiaofu
I seemed to be really tired, and I fell asleep this night, and I had a long, long dream that I had become Ultraman and had been fighting little monsters.
"Little Nine." When I was sleeping soundly, I heard someone shouting to me over and over again, and finally I had to give up the little monster that was about to be destroyed, and struggled to wake up from the dream, and then, I saw Yuan Ying, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, and saw me open my eyes, "Xiao Jiu, are you willing to go with me?" ”
I rubbed my sleepy eyes, which were not fully awake, and the candlelight in the room made me more and more sleepy, "With you?" Where are you going? ”
"Come on." He stretched out his hand. "Let's go out and play."
I hesitated, but gave him my hand anyway. "It's so late, where are you going?"
We slipped out of the courtyard quietly, led the horse, and galloped all the way out of the city, and he stopped first, jumped off the horse, and I grabbed the reins and jumped off Po. "Brother Yuan, it's so late, where are you going to play?"
Yuan Ying smiled slightly, but it was not obvious, but his expression looked much more comfortable than just now, he let go of the horse in his hand and reached out to stroke Ah Bao, Ah Bao This guy is usually very arrogant, but he didn't expect to be so obedient under his hands.
Sure enough, it was a mare.
"I thought you were going to ask me what happened after you passed out." From my direction, it happened to be his side face, along with the moonlight, gilded with a touch of coldness, the clear and handsome eyebrows, the bottomless pupils, and the warm sentences that sounded like they were not emotional, all of which had a kind of magic that led people to fall, and he didn't look at me, and continued, "Don't you wonder why you slept in your room when you woke up?" ”
"Not curious." I turned my head and waved my hand, only feeling a little embarrassed, and deliberately avoided him, "It's enough that I'm still alive now, I will know what I should know sooner or later, I shouldn't know, and it's no good to know." ”
"Then why did you come out with me?" He was slightly stunned, then curious.
"You saved the third child, I still owe you something." He saved me twice, and then saved the third child, although it is undeniable that I was a little hesitant at the time, but I was also happy to come out, but in the end, one yard to one yard, "Say, what do you need me to do." ”
When he heard this, his original smile was gone, and the big living person who had looked cold was now not even the least temperature, and I could feel the air around me suddenly cool.
"What's wrong?" I saw that he had no intention of speaking, so I broke the deadlock myself, at least before I froze to death, and also wanted to find out why, at least I was not a nymphomaniac, and would think that he took me out in the middle of the night to see the scenery.
He stopped stroking Bao, took two steps back, raised his hands, and suddenly a light gradually rose, condensing into two balls, he spread his hands evenly, the cold air condensed on his left hand, and the flame ignited on his right hand.
I was stunned, it was like magic. I couldn't even speak.
"Xiao Jiu, you worship me as a teacher, okay?" Just between the two colors of ice and fire, he opened his mouth and asked softly, the indirect echo of cold and warm colors actually looked more and more enchanting in this second, and he could condense the power of ice and fire with his bent hand, and it looked like that
"Really?" Through time, won't I be able to go home? I waited for two years, and all my hopes were pinned on the legendary Zhaohua Jasper, but now, there was such a living hope in front of me, and I saw that he was so magical, and I was naturally inclined to believe that he could travel through time.
He didn't speak, he just let me think casually, and the more I thought about it, the more I struggled.
I don't even know who he is, he saved me twice, and saved the third child, and now he wants me to worship him as a teacher, what is the purpose? But seeing that he is gathering ice and fire in front of me at the moment, forget it, "Master is above, and I will be worshiped by the apprentice." ”
"Xiao Jiu, let me ask you, do you like me." When Yuan Ying said this, he still didn't look back at me, he even left me with a side face, he didn't look at me at a glance, he put away his condensing qi and put his hands behind him, but looked at Ah Bao with a particularly free and easy look.
"What?" If you don't have enough apprentices, do you have to sell your soul? My master is a strange person, with first-class ability, and he is obsessed with sexual orientation, and it turns out that the coming out of the closet has been around since this era.
Half a month, the last time I met Yuan Ying was two months ago, I thought that after worshipping him as a teacher, he would teach me those strange tricks, I was all planned, learned to travel through time, and said goodbye to the brothers in the cottage, and went back to forget about the qiē here.
But who knows, on the second day of apprenticeship, my not-so-normal master dropped a word and disappeared. Before leaving, he said, let me wait patiently, Gong Li will send me to him. As a result, the first wait was two months.
"Ninth Master." The days when I returned to the cottage were mostly turned into a daze in the room, and this day I was thinking about the way home and couldn't see it anymore, and the door was slammed open. "Someone is clamoring to see you in the hall, and they can't stop it, uncle."
"Who?" Impatient, I got up and walked into the hall with my clothes on. Before I entered the lobby, I was stunned by the formation in front of me, "What's the situation, who died?" ”
There were more than a dozen people standing in the courtyard, dressed in plain clothes and filial piety clothes, wearing white scarves on their heads, bowing their heads and crying with mournful faces. What's the matter, this is a scene? was furious for a while, and immediately rolled up his sleeves, "Which tired and crooked person dares to make trouble in my Luoxiang Mountain!" ”
After a while, the eldest and the third and others hurriedly came out of the inner hall, and the boss immediately stepped forward to lower his voice to reassure, "It's okay, it's okay, who called out the ninth master?" What's the matter, as for alarming the ninth master. ”
I looked up behind them, and a young woman in plain clothes stood in the inner hall looking at me.
"Lao Jiu, you go back first." Even the third child came forward to pull me, and looked at the young woman behind him with a very careful expression.
The appearance of them made me really suspicious, and I couldn't understand it, so I pushed everyone away and went to the inner hall, and stood in front of the young woman, and looked at her. "Whose lady? Why are you making trouble in my Loluang Hill? ”
"Presumably, this is the legendary Nine Princes." The young woman didn't answer me directly, just looked at me for a while, and spoke, she then turned her head sideways to confirm it from the eyes of others, and then slowly leaned over, and actually knelt in front of her, "The concubine is the Han family in Los Angeles, and the husband's family is the general of Beishao Weiyuan, and my husband's life and death are now unknown, and the husband's family cursed that the concubine killed the husband, and there is nowhere to redress the grievances, and I also asked the ninth prince to come forward and return the concubine's innocence." ”
I looked at the third child, and then I understood why they asked me to hide first, "Find the government for the matter of revenge, the lord is a thief, and no one will pay him for his grievances." ”
"The concubine sued the yamen, the government will not accept it, the officials in the court and the central government protect each other, the death of the concubine's husband is difficult to see, and only the ninth prince in the world has the ability to redress the concubine's body!" The words are round and sonorous, and she shouted this sentence heartbreakingly, which made me feel that my eardrum was tormented, but also a little shocked.
It seems that the ninth prince is not afraid of death and has become famous all over the world. "Okay, I'll give you a stick of incense that I can use to convince me to make this trip."
I walked straight to the hall, ignoring her and still kneeling on the ground, for a ** who was wearing filial piety clothes and making trouble in my cottage, I didn't have so much pity for the jade, and flew up and stepped up to the main seat and sat down and lifted Erlang's legs. I'm just bored, take advantage of this farce to pass the time.
I thought she would cry to me about how unfortunate she was.
But she didn't.
She staggered to her feet, bent down to wipe the dust off her knees, and stood in front of me in white clothes, standing silently without crying or making trouble, and did not speak for a long time.
I looked at the sky and reminded, "The time for a stick of incense is almost up." ”
"Nine sons, have you ever met love?" I was a little surprised when she asked. She continued, "The concubine and the princess, this is the parents' order matchmaker's words, I entered the general's mansion as a continuation, ten years after marriage, the two of us respect each other like guests, and love each other, the eldest son of the concubine died of illness two years ago, and now the young son is still in the womb, how can the concubine harm her father-in-law." ”
"If you have a good relationship, won't you harm him? Maybe he had a change of heart. "I never believed in how great the relationship would be, but the woman in front of me, the first impression I had was not amazing, she was not so captivating, she could only be regarded as looking very comfortable, thick eyebrows and big eyes, temperament is not elegant, more like calm, at first glance, it looks like a daughter from a big family, thinking that she is so delicate, she actually married the general to do a continuation, how can she be willing.
When she heard me say this, her eyes widened, and she could see that she was embarrassed, that she was struggling, that she seemed to think of something, but that she didn't say anything, just quietly turned around and wanted to go out.
"Wait a minute." I opened my mouth to stop her, but she stopped, "I took this job, the third child, collect the deposit, and within seven days, Ye Jiuding will go to the general's mansion to find out the truth and redress his wife's grievances." ”
She didn't look back, just looked straight at the outer hall and saluted blankly, "The concubine thanked the ninth prince first." ”
The general's wife walked out of the front door of my cottage with a group of family members, and the third child took the small package handed by the family, watched them go down the mountain, and then took three steps and made two steps and ran over, "Lao Jiu, what are you doing, this is to go against the government, you have lived enough!" ”
"She's pathetic." I said, then thought for a moment, tried to convince myself and added, "No." ”
For the general in Beishao, the most well-informed sixth in the village gave me a lot of information. General Weiyuan's surname is Qiao, about forty years old, seventeen years old and his deceased wife Ling, thirteen years later Ling died of illness, in the family under the old mother of the master, remarried this Han as a wife.
"However, there are two theories about whether the relationship between General Qiao and this later general's wife is really so good." The sixth sighed, stroking the jade Buddha statue in his hand, unable to tell whether to cherish the treasure in his hand, or to sigh fate, "It is said that this Mrs. Qiao and the original Mrs. Qiao are half-sisters, this Mrs. Qiao's father served in Xiyi, the official worships a product, and there is a sister who is a concubine of Xiyi, it is rumored that the old lady of the General's Mansion killed Mrs. Qiao who had a difficult birth in order to let this new lady enter the door. ”
"I'm so weird." I had a chill down my spine, I used to deal with bandits and bandits at most, but now that I've changed to a ghost, I think it's more likely that I can't handle it.
The sixth child loves jade like his life, and his daughter is scattered to seek fame and jade, and now he has another treasure, and he is even careful to wipe it to the extreme, for fear that he will wipe off a piece of it if he has a little more strength. "I think it's okay, you can't make any benefit from taking over the Qiao family. Maybe you'll get in trouble. ”
"I've picked it up, what else can I do. Help me arrange it, and I'll be down early tomorrow morning. "Now that I've decided to take it, I'm not going to complain about the trouble it causes. That woman, what touched me the most was the back, very similar to the one I remembered, and from that moment on, it was not so easy for me to stand by and watch this matter.
"Let you be nosy." Gong Li, before the person arrived, he heard the voice through a few corridors, it had already come, it was still the little family spirit and bitterness of the monk, and I heard his ill-fitting robe drifting towards this side through the wind, "Ninth master, you really shouldn't be called nine, you should be called ten, it's a 'business master', it's okay to find trouble, and it's difficult to end up looking for something." ”
Seeing Gong Li standing still in the courtyard, the sixth man was instantly full of murderous energy, stretched out his hand and first hugged his jade Buddha statue into his arms, carefully protected it, and hid back step by step, "By the way, the boss has something to do with me, you talk first, talk first." ”
When the sixth child left, I immediately rushed over and grabbed Gong Li's collar, "Okay, you stinky Taoist, send yourself to the door today to find death!" ”
"Wait, wait......" Gong Li found that the situation was wrong, and immediately admitted defeat, "Ninth Master, I came here today to confess, aren't you still waiting for me to bring news, Yuan Gongzi has something to say to you, you ......"
"Say!" I strangled his collar, without the slightest intention of letting go, this time to see if his intelligence is worth his life, his master can't help but say that he will beat my revenge, maybe today it will be counted on him, if it is not good, I will plant him in the courtyard of the Fengguan Temple, and give his master to purify the air.
"Yuan Gongzi said, on the seventh day of the first month of October, Qingyao Fang in Los Angeles is waiting for you." Gong Li was afraid that my subordinates would strangle him to death, so he said very carefully, and after saying this, he smiled flatteringly, "Look, if I die, who will pass on the message to your master." ”
The seventh day of October? L.a.? Today is the first day of the new year, does he already know that General Weiyuan's wife begged to go to the village, but why is it the seventh day of the new year? "I ask you, that day, after I passed out......"
"This ......" Gong Li listened to me ask about that day, his face changed greatly, and he was so frightened that he couldn't speak, I watched his eyes roll in a sneaky way, and wanted to deceive me.
"I sue you, I only ask you one thing, if you have a word that is false, I will let you live only to this day." There were too many unsolved mysteries that day, but there was only one one I was most concerned about now, "Didn't that old Taoist priest have a posture of killing me, why didn't I see him again when I woke up?" ”
"Yuan Gongzi is a guarantor, tell my master, you are his apprentice. No matter what my master does, he can't touch you a bit, so he can't help it, so he leaves. Gong Li breathed a sigh of relief, seeing that I still didn't mean to let go, he pretended to pull my hand. Ninth Master, a good question. ”
"Okay." I let him go. "Gong Li, tomorrow, accompany me to Los Angeles. I'll take you to see the troubled times, okay? ”
