Chapter 3: The Man in Black
"Abil, let's go too." Xue Yiwei tilted his head and said to Abier.
"Yes, Princess. Drive. Abil galloped through on horseback.
Coming to the depths of the jungle, we quietly watched where the animals were there, "Princess, there are rabbits there." Abil quietly pointed to the left.
"Don't kill rabbits." Xueyi said.
"So what are we going to shoot?" Abil asked.
"We're going to shoot pheasants, wild boars or something, I can't do anything about white rabbits." Xueyi couldn't bear to shoot the little white rabbit by himself, or shoot these chickens and pigs that he usually eats.
Suddenly saw a pheasant over there, Xueyi pulled a bow and arrow, but shouted in his heart: Why is it so laborious.
The "duh" arrow was shot out with one shot, but it was far in front. It's okay, keep coming, Xueyi pulled out another arrow and began to shoot hard, but the arrow still didn't shoot.
"You're going to shoot." Xueyi handed the scissors to Abier.
Abi'er took the arrow and shot the pheasant down at once, "Abi'er, you are so powerful, I'll go get it." Xueyi gave a thumbs up.
"Princess, I'd better go." Abier felt that as a maid, she should go by herself.
"It's fine." Then he dismounted.
Xueyi grabbed the arrow, looked at the pheasant and said, "Don't blame me, just blame you for being too charming." ”
A black shadow fell in front of his eyes.
Xueyi was so frightened that he held the chicken and stood still.
"Girl, please save our master." Listening to the other party's voice should be a girl who is about seventeen or eighteen years old.
"Princess," Abil stood in front of me, and I hugged Abil, afraid that she would be hurt, and asked, "Who are you?" ”
"Don't be afraid, princess, I just want the princess to save her master." The man in black said categorically.
I thought: I don't know many people in this world, who will her owner be? Could it be that before I crossed over?
"I don't know your master?" I don't want to be nosy.
"Princess, the last time I assassinated, my master sacrificed his life to save you, which means that you must have a very close relationship with our master, please save her." Looking at the words of the black cloth in front of me who said very sincerely, I really wanted to know who the person before was: "What is your master's name?" ”
The man in black: "Pseudonym Li Siniang." ”
Fourth sister? I was a little dizzy and didn't know what was going on: "Hasn't the fourth sister already returned to the inn?" ”
"Since the last time I went to the Nine Masters' Mansion, the master has disappeared and has never shown up since." The man in black didn't look like he was lying.
I thought about it for a while, and I couldn't help but be very angry: The Ninth Master lied to me.
I can't stay like this all the time, if I am discovered by the Ninth Master, the person in front of me will also be in danger: "You go back first, I will send your master to the Sifang Inn in the evening, you just wait there." ”
"Thank you." When the black clothes stood up, a dart came over. The black clothes just turned around and dodged.
"Since you're here, do you still want to go?" The viciousness in the eyes of the ninth master made me instantly disgusted.
As soon as I stepped forward to speak, Eagle ran over and fought with the man in black.
I ran over: "Ninth Master, you let her go." ”
"It's not your turn to take care of my affairs." The ninth master didn't even look at his face.
In a hurry, I took out a hairpin on my head and lowered it to the ninth master's neck, and shouted at the ninth master: "You can take care of it now." ”
Jiu Ye looked at it with a gloomy face, I was afraid that the man in black would not be able to support it, so I stabbed Jiu Ye's neck hard, and there seemed to be blood on his neck.
"Stop," the Ninth Master ordered Eagle Chess to stop.
The man in black took the opportunity to escape, and I was already a little frightened.
"Do you want to keep doing it?" Hearing the words of the Ninth Master, I quickly took down the hairpin and threw it away, because it was stained with the blood of the Ninth Master.
"Ninth Master, when you and I signed the contract, we clearly promised to release the fourth sister, you are a dignified prince of the Qing Dynasty, you will not lie to a little woman like me." I spoke with my eyes glazed.
"Li Siniang assassinated the prince, it's good that I left him alive." Ninth Master.
"You go back on your word and don't believe in your word, don't blame me for giving this contract to the emperor." I'm determined to say that I bet he wouldn't dare to resist that reason.
"Really? What are you doing? Don't you know, this matter is very involved? The cold face of the Ninth Master revealed threat and danger.
"It's a big deal, if the ninth master is not afraid, I have nothing to be afraid of." It's not that I'm not really afraid, it's just that I'm betting, and he doesn't dare.
People like them are most afraid of setting off a storm in front of the emperor and causing unwarranted disasters, and if they lose the emperor's trust, it is equivalent to losing a qiē. No matter how true this incident is, as long as it creates a shadow and suspicion in Kangxi's heart, he is true.
"You dare to bet on your Erqi?" The Ninth Master couldn't believe it.
"As long as my father and king break away from our father-daughter relationship, I will be gambling alone, but, Ninth Master, you may not be." I did think about it, Erqi is not a small place, if something really happens at that time, as long as I break away from the relationship between me and Erqi, I think the emperor will choose to punish me. Which is more important, presumably the ninth master will also understand.
Jiu Ye didn't speak at this time, but just kept staring at Xueyi, eager to peel Xueyi off his bones and skin immediately, and his eyes were about to fall off.
Xueyi was also a little scared, Abi'er came over and shouted in a low voice: "Princess......"
Xueyi saw that he wanted to persuade himself not to go against the Ninth Master, but at this time, he had no choice.
"Huh" Jiu Ye took out his dagger and prepared to stab Abi'er.
"Ahh Abiel was so frightened that she didn't even move a step.
I immediately pulled Abil over and blocked it with my body, "Shhh "I got a cut on my arm.
"Princess, are you alright?" Abil came back to her senses and immediately protected my arm, and bandaged me with a silk handkerchief to stop the bleeding.
"What do you do? When I don't save zài? Xueyi felt that his eyes must have been full of red bloodshots, and the tears mixed with him didn't know if it was because of pain or fear and anger.
"This girl knows our affairs, if one day she betrays you, it will be all of us who will die." Jiu Ye did this for the good of everyone, and it was also for the sake of learning.
But he was wrong, Xueyi didn't want anyone around him to be hurt, as long as it didn't reach the time that the ninth master said, no one could get hurt because of himself.
"Don't use suspicious people, don't be suspicious when employing people, is it true that Eagle Chess follows you to do things, and you treat him like this?" Seeing Xueyi say this, Jiu Ye looked at the eagle chess slightly, he knew that what Xueyi said was not wrong, looking at the blood on Xueyi's hands, Jiu Ye couldn't bear to continue to delay: "I hope your decision is correct." ”
After the ninth master finished speaking, he turned around and left, "Stop," Xueyi shouted: "Fourth sister, do you want to let it go or not." ”
"As you wish." Although the ninth master didn't want to do this, but now that she knew about it, there was no other solution.
came to Yingqi's side and instructed: "Bandage the princess, don't let others know." ”
"My subordinates understand." Eagle chess.
Yingqi walked up to Shu Qiao's side and said, "Princess, I'm offended." After speaking, he directly picked up Xueyi.
"Yingqi, what are you doing, put me down." Xueyi waved his hand to block it.
"Princess, since the ninth master promised you to release people, please stop making noise, otherwise, you know the temper of the ninth master." Yingqi didn't look at Xueyi, but just said very calmly.
But Xueyi knows that what he said is very correct, and at present, obedience is the best result.
Xueyi didn't continue to speak, just turned his head and glared at the ninth master fiercely, it seems that a lot of unpleasantness here was inflicted on him by the person in front of him, somehow, he suddenly felt that this ninth master was indeed not a good person, and he should keep his distance, otherwise, there might be something bad that happened to him and him in the future.
Seeing that the woman in his arms suddenly became so quiet at the moment, Ying Qi couldn't help but turn his head to look, he kept thinking about what kind of magic this woman in his arms had, which could make the Ninth Master, who was never soft-hearted, break through his bottom line again and again for the sake of this woman. Why does this woman always appear between the ninth and eighth masters and several other elder brothers, and even the crown prince is among them. There has never been a woman who knows so much about the circumstance and many elder brothers, as if there is something destined in the dark
Yingqi took Xueyi to a small medical hall, and after the doctor inside bandaged Xueyi, Yingqi dared to re-enter.
"Princess, my subordinates will send you back to the palace." Eagle chess.
"Eagle Chess, how long have you been following the Ninth Master?" Xueyi didn't leave immediately, but sat there very calmly and asked.
"It's been six years." Eagle chess.
"Six years is a lot of days," Xueyi looked up at Yingqi: "You have been following the Ninth Master for so long, you should always be able to tell whether the Ninth Master is telling the truth or a lie." ”
Hearing Xueyi say this, Eagle Qi had actually guessed what the princess was going to ask again.
"Ninth Master, will you really let Li Siniang go?" Xueyi asked, not daring to blink, not wanting to miss any of the micro-expressions of Eagle Chess.
Yes, micro-expressions are the most authentic and direct monologue in a person's heart.
"I can only say that the ninth master really didn't lie to the princess this time." Eagle chess is also entangled for a long time, because it is not said thoroughly, and it is not vague, and it is not easy to organize this language, and only then does it dare to say it lightly.
Either the eagle chess will not speak, but it will speak, and presumably this will not be false.
Xueyi was relieved at this time, "Bring a message to the ninth master, Li Siniang, I will personally send Abi'er to send her away." ”
"The subordinates will tell the Ninth Master." Yingqi could actually guess that the ninth master would agree, but he didn't get the ninth master's personal promise, and Yingqi didn't dare to agree privately.
"Say sorry to the Fourteenth Master for me, just say that I have something to do, go back first." Xueyi.
"Yes, my subordinates will send the princess back to the palace." Eagle chess.
Xueyi and Abi'er still don't know the way, so they have to agree to let Yingqi send it, otherwise, at this moment, they definitely don't want to see Yingqi again, because when they see him, they will always think of that bad guy, Jiu Ye.
Several elder brothers have already returned with great interest, "Brother Jiu, you usually hunt the most, why did you become the least today, could it be that you deliberately released water today?" The fourteenth master looked at the ninth master with a smile, how could he know what happened to the ninth master just now, how could he still have any intention to hunt and pretend.
However, since the Fourteenth Master said so, the Ninth Master naturally smiled. But let them guess for themselves what this laugh contains.
After the fourth master came down, he kept looking for Xueyi's figure, but he never found it, afraid that something would go wrong with Xueyi, so he shouted: "Someone." ”
"Fourth Master." The little guy ran over.
"Send someone to see where the princess is." As soon as the fourth master finished speaking, the ninth master, who had been paying attention to the fourth master, said: "No need, fourth brother, the princess felt uncomfortable just now, I have asked Yingqi to send her back to the palace." ”
"Oh." Although the fourth master said this, he was a little strange in his heart, I don't know if it was because the princess didn't tell him when she left, or because he simply felt that this matter was not so simple. This meal was something she had earned with great difficulty, but she gave it up so lightly, and the more she thought about it, the more she wanted to find a time to visit the princess.
Sitting in the courtyard, the moon and stars are scarce, Xueyi is in a daze alone: There are a lot of things that have happened recently, and I always feel that it is very frequent, is it that this is the turning point in my whole life? Or do I have to go through something?
However, one thing is the same, that is, the starry sky here is still the same as 300 years later, and it doesn't look much different. In the past, I only heard of looking at the stars in the sky to remember the dead, but now, I am looking at the stars to miss my family 300 years later.
"Princess, be careful, the wound on this arm is still very easy to crack." Abil took a cloak from the room and put it over me.
"I've been worrying a lot lately, but I just feel that only on a night like this can I become myself well, not a substitute for this era." I don't know what's going on, and I'm babbling nonsense about things that people in this era can't understand.
"Princess? Are you alright? Abi'er estimated that Xueyi's brain was also injured, except for the time when she first came, the princess hadn't said something that others couldn't understand for a long time.
"It's okay, you go back first, I think, and then we'll see." Xueyi.
"I'll accompany the princess." Abier always felt that the princess at this time was faintly worried.
"No, I want to be alone, wait a while." Xueyi.
Since the princess said this, Abil also knew that she should not continue, so she said, "The princess has something to call me." ”
"Yes." Xueyi agreed to come down, and after watching Abier leave, she began to think about the things in her head all the time, missing her parents, missing the life of that era, friends, and tears had flowed unconsciously. Now you can't cry and make trouble, because no one can understand yourself, and everything has to be taken to heart by yourself. Therefore, in this era, I am really lucky enough not to commit suicide due to depression.
In this way, it's just a pleasure in the bitterness.
A few days later, Yingqi came to Xueyi's courtyard and saw Xueyi reading a book, but his mind was not in the book at all, the book had been bent, how could a normal eye see it?
"Princess." Eagle chess.
Xueyi heard the voice, and then turned around: "Is there something wrong?" Xueyi pretended to continue reading.
"Li Siniang has already let it go." Eagle chess.
"Really?" Xueyi stood up excitedly, but as soon as he thought of the lesson last time, he immediately calmed down, "How do I know that this time, you didn't lie to me?" ”
"The people have been sent back to the inn, if the princess doesn't believe it, she can send someone out to have a look." Eagle chess.
"I see." Xueyi walked back to his position.
The words of Eagle Chess have also been brought, and naturally there is nothing to stay, "The subordinate retired." ”
"Yes." Xueyi responded while reading the book.
After the eagle chess left, Xueyi took a look, and Abier came over and asked, "Princess, what is he doing?" ”
"You go to the Sifang Inn and see if the fourth sister has returned." Xueyi stood up and said.
"But princess, we don't have a waist card, I can't get out of the palace." Abil.
"I have a way, come with me." Xueyi took Abi'er to wait not far from Concubine De's palace, and now he should be alone.
"Princess, what are we doing here?" Abil.
"Wait for someone who can take you out." Xueyi said calmly.
After a while, the fourth elder brother lowered his head alone, and seemed to be preoccupied.
"Fourth master, can you buy it for a favor?" Xueyi walked over and didn't even salute.
"I don't dare to help you casually." The fourth master was just joking, but that expression was still a little bland, and people who didn't know really thought that there was any contradiction between the two of them.
"The fourth master said that he laughed, he just wanted you to take Abier Palace for a trip and come back in the evening." Xueyi said with a smile.
The fourth master looked at Abi'er and didn't ask much, just said, "Come with me." ”
"Thank you, Fourth Master." Xueyi made a salute at this time.
Abi'er also leaned over, and soon left with the fourth master.
Turned around and left, walking slowly on the road, I didn't want to go back so soon, anyway, after so many days, I was scolded a lot by Fujin, and it wasn't bad this time.
"Did you really send someone to see it?" The Ninth Master walked over, and it turned out that he had already seen it just now.
At this time, Xueyi naturally didn't give a good look, "Those who can't believe it naturally have to send someone to see it." After saying this, Xueyi raised his feet and walked.
"Is this angry?" Ninth Master.
"Isn't it like?" Xueyi stopped, turned around and said, but his expressionless face made Jiu Ye a little uncomfortable, "In the palace, if you are too serious, you will lose." ”
It's always a bunch of big truths, and I'm tired of listening to it.
Xueyi bowed and turned away very arrogantly.
The Ninth Master sighed: "It seems that we have to invite a military advisor." ”
