Chapter 260: Returning to Beijing one after another
A cold male voice frightened Yu Xiangxiang to sit up and squeeze the horns to cover herself: "Who! Who's in the house? β
A slender and tall figure slowly walked out from the side with pacing steps, standing still across the bed, staring at Yu Xiangxiang with straight eyes: "Where is Xiao Xia?" β
Yu Xiangxiang looked at the other party's face in surprise: "Chasing the wind!" β
Liang Chenjing frowned slightly, looked at Yu Xiangxiang scrutinically, and then searched in her mind, there was no person in her memory, how did she know her name on the rivers and lakes.
Yu Xiangxiang was a little excited, and knelt up on the bed: "Wind Chaser, it's me, do you remember the last time Miss Su Er was kidnapped into Lin Hai?" I've helped you guys, remember? β
Liang Chenjing thought about it, he felt a little familiar, but he really couldn't remember which one it was, what he was most concerned about now was not this problem, but where Xiao Xia went.
"Where's Natsu?" Liang Chenjing asked again.
Yu Xiangxiang paused, and seeing the eagerness in Liang Chenjing's eyes, Yu Xiangxiang sat back and pulled the quilt to wrap herself: "Liang Gongzi, if I'm not mistaken, Miss Su Er is your wife, right?" What does Natsu have to do with you? Why are you looking for him? β
Liang Chenjing frowned slightly: "Don't care, tell me where is she?" β
Yu Xiangxiang glanced at him vigilantly: "I heard Xiao Xia say that someone wants to trouble him, it won't be you, right?" Did she offend you? You are the second son of the Guogong Mansion, why bother with a little girl? Xiao Xia is already pitiful enough, don't look for him! β
"No way!"
"Why? Does she have a grudge against you? β
"No, she...... It's my stepsister. β
"Sister-in-law?"
"Yes!"
Yu Xiangxiang thought for a while: "I haven't heard of it!" She didn't mean that his family was a small family in the capital. Later, did the family come to Jiangzhou to look for relatives? Did she lie? β
"It's not surprising that she walks the rivers and lakes alone, and she is wary of hiding something, so where is she when she tells me?"
She ......" Yu Xiangxiang hesitated slightly. I don't know. β
Liang Chenjing's heart sank, and the surrounding air suddenly became a little colder, and Yu Xiangxiang tightened the quilt: "Liang Gongzi, can you let me get dressed?" β
Liang Chenjing glanced at her and turned his back, but he didn't mean to leave the room, Yu Xiangxiang stared at his back vigilantly. For fear that he would suddenly turn around.
"Wear it quickly, take me to her, I won't hurt her!"
Yu Xiangxiang learned that Suo Suo was talking to Liang Chenjing while putting his clothes on his body: "Liang Gongzi." Is Xiao Xia really your sister-in-law? β
"Of course."
Then why did she leave Beijing alone? Coming to Jiangzhou alone? β
Liang Chenjing didn't answer, he had been to many places in the past few months, and he had searched almost all the places he could think of, and he kept looking for them. When I walked near Jiangzhou. Suddenly remembered that the first time they met was in Jiangzhou, she once said that she wanted to find the colorful beads, and the colorful beads were in the Hou Mansion, would she come to Jiangzhou?
So he searched for it, and walked around the place where he first met under the walls of the Hou Mansion every day, hoping to meet her again one day. The hard work paid off, she was really in the Hou Mansion, but unfortunately she was about to meet but missed it.
In addition to worrying about her safety. I'm even more afraid that she won't be able to forgive herself.
Last evening, he heard the news that Xiao Xia had come to Changzhou, and he chased after him overnight. He had found the inn an hour before, and he hesitated and lingered in front of the door for most of an hour before he made up his mind to enter.
When he saw that there was only a strange woman on the bed, he thought that he had made a mistake, so he went down to ask Xiao Er in the shop, and he was sure that it was this room, and this woman was Xiao Xia's companion, so he decided to wait, this woman must know Xiao Xia's whereabouts.
Liang Chenjing was fascinated, Yu Xiangxiang had already dressed quickly, she simply pulled up her hair in a bun, and walked to the door, Liang Chenjing stopped her: "Where are you going?" β
"Aren't you looking for Natsu? I'll go see if there's anyone on Xue Gongzi's side? β
"Xue Gongzi?"
"yes, he's a good guy and has helped us a lot along the way."
Liang Chenjing frowned slightly: "Is it the emperor who is in the porcelain business, called Xue ......?"
"Xue Yongan."
"Is it him?"
"Yes, Liang Gongzi also knows him?"
Liang Chenjing pursed his lips tightly and did not speak, and the hand behind him was secretly clenched into a fist.
After a while, Liang Chenjing almost popped out a sentence from between his teeth: "You guys...... When did you meet him? β
Yu Xiangxiang thought for a while: "It's been a long time, at least more than a month, I met Xiao Xia as soon as I left the capital, and then took the Xue family's convoy back to Changzhou with her, at that time Xue Gongzi took care of us quite a lot, what a good person, Liang Gongzi, do you want to go over and have a look?" β
Yu Xiangxiang went out, Liang Chenjing stood in the house for a while, but still followed, and saw Yu Xiangxiang knocking on the door diagonally opposite the door, but there was no response after knocking for a long time.
There happened to be a junior second: "Guest officer, who are you looking for?" β
"Xiao Er, is Xue Gongzi in this room?"
"Xue Gongzi? They left last night! β
"Gone? Where have you been? β
"I don't know, it's in a hurry, maybe there's an emergency at home, right? Maybe something happened to the shops in other places, Xue Gongzi has been very busy, there is no fixed number, and the small ones don't know. β
"Impossible! Xiao Xia is still with him! There's no way he's going to take Natsu away, right? β
Xiao Er thought for a while: "I wasn't on duty last night, and I didn't know what was small." β
Xiao Er was about to leave after speaking, but was stopped by Liang Chenjing: "Who saw them go out?" β
Liang Chenjing was so condensed that Xiao Er took two steps back in fright, and he stammered a little when he spoke: "Guest...... Guest officer, the little one really doesn't know, you ...... You can ask the shopkeeper. β
Liang Chenjing didn't say a word, turned around and went downstairs, Yu Xiangxiang hurriedly caught up: "Wait a minute, I'm going too." β
They found the shopkeeper, but before Liang Chenjing could speak, Yu Xiangxiang asked cracklingly: "Hey, the master, is Xue Gongzi really gone?" Where did he go? Why don't you call me? And the girl who came with me? Did he take it away too? What does he mean? He clearly promised me that I would help Xiao Xia enter the Hou Mansion to get things. When he came back, he took me into the Xue family, and now that the matter is done, will he regret it? I'm not a fool. I'm going to settle accounts with him. β
The shopkeeper was stunned by Yu Xiangxiang's words, and he didn't react for a while, Liang Chenjing looked back at her: "What did you say?" Xiao Xia entered the Hou Mansion to look for something? Looking for what? β
Yu Xiangxiang covered her mouth in shock, it's too bad! said the wrong thing, Xiao Xia said that she couldn't tell anyone about this, she hurriedly waved her hand: "No, no, no, no." I said casually, Liang Gongzi, don't take it seriously. β
Liang Chenjing asked: "Is she looking for colorful beads?" β
Yu Xiangxiang's eyes widened: "How do you know?" Yes! That was not what I meant. β
Liang Chenjing frowned, she really came to Jiangzhou to look for colorful beads. But...... It was said before that the colorful beads have the effect of gathering souls to bring the dead back to life, Xiao Xia has recovered now, but she has changed her body and can't speak, does she still want to switch with Su Linglong?
Liang Chenjing remembered that Su Linglong, who was sent to the frontier by his eldest brother to serve hard labor, was suddenly a little worried. Su Linglong's mind is not right, and he is insidious and vicious. Xiao Xia is by no means her opponent, and she can't be asked to go to Su Linglong.
As soon as he was in a hurry, he took the shopkeeper out from behind the counter: "Say, which direction are they going?" β
The shopkeeper was so frightened that his face turned white with a brush, and Yu Xiangxiang was also startled, and hurriedly said: "Liang Gongzi, what are you doing, let it go." The shopkeeper is right, you let go! β
Liang Chenjing's hand loosened. Throwing the palm on the ground, his voice was still cold and threatening: "Say it quickly!" β
The shopkeeper trembled and got up: "They asked for two fast horses, and I really don't know where to go!" β
"Fast horses? How many people? β
"Two, no, three! Xue Gongzi brought an entourage and a girl. β
Liang Chenjing's face was even more ugly, she was actually mixed with two big men, and she was riding the same horse, as soon as she remembered her intimate appearance of riding a horse with others, Liang Chenjing clenched her fists.
He turned around and strode out of the door, Yu Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment and hurriedly caught up: "Liang Gongzi, where are you going?" β
Liang Chenjing didn't speak, and went straight to the side yard to lead his horse, Yu Xiangxiang pulled his sleeve: "Liang Gongzi, do you want to chase them?" Take me, I'm just going to chase Xue Gongzi! β
Liang Chenjing looked back at her: "You? β
"Yes, Xue Gongzi promised to accept me into the room, he can't talk and doesn't count."
"Are you Xue Yongan's concubine?"
Yu Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, her face flushed slightly, she didn't plan to rely on Xue Yongan not to leave this time, although she liked Xue Yongan, she used to think that this person was good, he was a dependent, and she would not suffer for the rest of her life.
But now that she has found her father, she has found her own father and mother, if Xue Yongan is good to herself, it will be fine, if he is really not interesting to himself, then forget it, anyway, he is willing to help Xiao Xia, and it is not interesting to use this to blackmail others.
But this Xue Yongan, she did everything she promised, and she didn't say a word at the end, so she secretly ran away with Xiao Xia, which made her very aggrieved, and also made her stubborn son come up, she decided that she must find Xue Yongan, and he had to accept her.
Yu Xiangxiang gritted her teeth: "Yes, I just identified him, I must find him and make him responsible for me." β
Liang Chenjing looked at her, saw that her eyes were firm and stubborn, and then thought that Xiao Xia had a relationship with Xue Yongan, and now they have come together again, not to mention that Xiao Xia changed her body and didn't even tell herself, but she was willing to trust Xue Yongan, which made him feel very uncomfortable, and he was still a little jealous of Xue Yongan, is this jealousy?
Xue Yongan will definitely not be able to walk fast with Xiao Xia, if he doesn't bring this girl with her, with her pestering Xue Yongan, maybe Xiao Xia will be able to change her mind more.
Thinking of this, Liang Chenjing said lightly: "Do you know how to ride a horse?" β
"Horseback riding?"
"I won't take you, I don't want to be sorry for her!"
Yu Xiangxiang was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Are you afraid that your wife will misunderstand?" Tsk, outsiders say that the second son of the Duke of Liang loves his wife very much, and they thought they were talking nonsense, but it turned out to be true, I can't see it, Liang Gongzi!
But...... Liang Gongzi, since you care about your wife so much, why do you have to come all the way to find Xiao Xia, even if she is your sister-in-law, after all, she is not a relative, aren't you afraid that your wife will be jealous? β
Liang Chenjing glanced at her and said lightly: "If you can ride a horse, you will come, and you will not ride a horse back." β
He walked forward, Yu Xiangxiang looked at his back a little depressed and muttered: Really, such a cold-blooded person would care about women? That Second Miss Su doesn't necessarily look like a beautiful woman, how can she tie up this kind of man? Xiao Xia too, what does this man have to do with Xiao Xia? How can you find a righteous sister like this? Really!
A quarter of an hour later, Liang Chenjing and Yu Xiangxiang each rode a horse to the official road, Yu Xiangxiang had been in the bandit's den for a few years, and it was difficult for her to ride a horse, but her skills were not as good as Liang Chenjing's.
Xiao Xia followed Xue Yongan on the road overnight, running around for a day and a night, and found a remote town to live in the next day when it was dark, in just one day, they drove seven or eight hundred miles, and they were about to catch up with eight hundred miles to expedite!
If this continues, they will be able to reach the capital in three to five days at most.
At dinner, Xue Yongan asked Xiao Xia, "What are you going to do after you return to Beijing?" β
Xiao Xia paused slightly, remembering that Yu Niang told SΓΉ that she would go to Huguo Temple to find Yuanfang when she got the colorful beads, and he must have a way to help her, so she didn't worry about anything else, she just hoped to reach the capital safely as soon as possible.
"Do you have a place to go?" Xue Yongan asked again.
Xiao Xia glanced at him and nodded.
"That's good, rest well after eating, let's continue to rush tomorrow morning, Laifu, you too."
Five days later, in the evening, Xiao Xia, whose whole body was about to fall apart, finally arrived at the gate of Huguo Temple, and Yuanfang stood in front of the temple gate waiting for him. Xiao Xia felt a little relieved, since he knew that I was coming, there was no need to explain.
Yuanfang stepped forward and saluted with one hand: "Amitabha, female benefactor, you are finally here!" β
Xiao Xia jumped off the horse, pointed to his chest, gestured with his hand, nodded in Yuanfang, and looked up at the sky: "You came at the right time, it's just fifteen today, let's go, let's go to the palace!" β
"Into the palace? Master, why did you bring her into the palace? It was Xue Yongan who raised the question.
Yuanfang glanced at him, turned back to Xiao Xia and asked, "Are they your friends?" β
Xiao Xia nodded, and Yuan Fang thought for a while: "Since we are friends, let's come together!" β
Yuanfang took them along the wide avenue and walked out, not far, suddenly saw a large eight-horse carriage parked at the intersection in front of them, the body was only covered with black cloth without any signs, but looking at the capital, there are few people who can afford this kind of carriage.
Xue Yongan stopped and watched for a moment: "Master, it's dark, are there still people coming to the temple to make incense?" β
Yuanfang smiled but didn't say a word, just walking forward, Xiao Xia was worried in his heart, and gradually slowed down.
I saw Yuanfang walk to the carriage and salute the door: "Amitabha, Your Majesty, the person you are looking for is back!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, the car door opened, and a man dressed in a silver-white brocade robe with a handsome face like an immortal fluttered down, and when he saw Xiao Xia, his face was obviously surprised, and he walked towards Xiao Xia quickly:
"Aifei, you're finally back!" (To be continued.) )
