Chapter IV: Covert Protection
Jiu Ye was eating, the door was also open, he kept looking at Shu Qiao's room, took a bite of the food, and put down the chopsticks: "You go to them at night to guard." ”
"What about you, Ninth Master?" Eagle replied.
"There's no danger on my side, just give me a good look over there." Jiu Ye is actually very happy now, because he came out this time to find Shu Qiao, but because he was used to being strict with them, he couldn't change his bright smile.
"My subordinates understood." Ying Qi looked at the ninth master, just in the tone of obedience to the order.
At night, I was sleeping with the fourth sister, and suddenly heard the sound of a fight outside the door, I got up with the fourth sister, the fourth sister went to open the door, and the two of them just hit back in front of us, and the fourth sister stepped forward to open the eagle chess and said, "Don't fight, your own people." ”
Xinyan took off his veil and said, "Master, who is he?" ”
"He's the Ninth Master's man." Fourth sister.
I saw the lights in some of the rooms come on, and I knew it must be a disturbance to them, so I said, "Come in first, all of you." ”
After all of us sat down, only Eagle Chess was still standing, and I said to him, "Eagle Chess Brother, Eagle Guard, you can sit down too." ”
"No, I'll just stand." Eagle chess.
I stood up, pushed the back of the eagle and said, "You just sit down." ”
Ying Qi was a little embarrassed, so he sat down according to my arrangement.
I also sat down, looked at the eagle chess and said, "Eagle guard, did the Ninth Master let you spy on me again." ”
"No, it's to protect you." Eagle chess.
I laughed and said, "Even if you want to lie, you have to find a better reason for it." ”
Eagle Qi glanced at me, and felt that I didn't seem to believe it at all, and was about to say something, but I interrupted: "Eagle guard, you go back, we are also going to rest, you should rest early." ”
Yingqi looked at me and felt that this was also an eviction order, so he stood up and went out.
When the eagle was gone, I said to them, "Okay, let's rest early." ”
Yingqi saw that the light in Jiu Ye's room was on, so he walked over, and Jiu Ye asked, "Why was there a fight just now?" ”
"It's a friend of Miss Shu Qiao." Eagle replied
"Since it's nothing serious, you can go back and rest." Jiu Ye stood up and walked to his bed.
"Yes." Eagle chess performed a simple salute and walked out.
The next morning, I got dressed, and the green color was really a little conspicuous, but it was okay, after all, I was a girl, and I was used to this color. As soon as I opened the door, I saw that the ninth master on the opposite side also happened to come out, the ninth master just glanced at me, and then left, I also turned around, pulled the door up, and walked down to eat.
When I sat down, I arranged chopsticks for Xinyan and the fourth sister, but I didn't expect the ninth master to come uninvited and sit down by himself.
"You sat down, did you ask my opinion?" I looked at her questioningly.
"What is your identity, what is my identity, do you still need me to ask your opinion?" The ninth master didn't look at me, and began to eat by himself.
Also, the eighth master has been sending people to monitor, and they must know all about what I am doing in Qierqi. I was drumming these things in my heart, holding chopsticks and picking up vegetables: Will they sue the emperor? If I sue the emperor, then I will not die.
"Hey." The ninth master actually snatched the bamboo shoots that I had just grabbed from my chopsticks.
"Don't be cranky when eating, otherwise you won't blame others for being robbed." The Ninth Master said with a smug face.
I ignored the ninth master and continued to eat with the food, and the ninth master did not continue to pay attention to me and continued to eat. I saw the right time, and also went to clip the food in the hands of the ninth master, but I didn't expect the ninth master to react very quickly, a clamp on my chopsticks, unable to move, I was unwilling, so I pulled out the chopsticks hard. But as soon as I was excited, I pushed the table with my left hand, trying to push myself through with the reaction force of the table.
"Ahh I sat on the ground with my ass, and the ninth master, a bastard, actually put the chopsticks that clamped me, causing me to fall down all of a sudden, and now my butt hurts and my back hurts.
"Aren't you supposed to have a sore butt? How do you cover your back? "The ninth master still feels like he is on top, and he doesn't mean to help me up at all.
Eagle Chess didn't seem to be able to look past it, and wanted to help me up.
"Just let her get up on her own, she's not so expensive now." The Ninth Master continued to eat.
When I saw everyone looking at me, I was embarrassed to get up silently by myself.
"Shu Qiao." The fourth sister ran over, holding some food in her hand: "What's wrong with you." ”
"I'm fine, let's go back upstairs." I have some pain.
The fourth sister saw that my expression was wrong, so she glanced behind me and said, "I'm bleeding, let's go rub some medicine." ”
I nodded, and went up with the support of the fourth sister.
The ninth master saw that my back was really oozing blood after I went up the stairs, and he actually felt a little guilty in his heart.
"What's the matter with her injuries?" The Ninth Master asked about Eagle Chess.
"The subordinates don't know, maybe the person who reported it didn't report it." Eagle chess.
The ninth master was silent for a while, and he didn't eat, so he went back.
I was lying on the bed, and the fourth sister was rubbing medicine on me: "Xinyan has already gone to inquire about the situation, and we can leave after eating." ”
"It's really hard for you, I haven't helped you much these days." I said with some gratitude and some guilt.
"If you say that, you will see the outside, my life was also saved by you, and it is also appropriate to take care of you." Fourth sister.
"Hee-hee," I smiled silly.
There was a knock on the door, and the fourth sister put down the medicine in her hand and went out to open the door.
Yingqi said: "This is the medicinal powder in the palace, which helps Miss Shu Qiao's injury, and these two sets of clothes are also for Miss Shu Qiao." ”
After Yingqi handed the things to Li Siniang, he left.
Siniang took the things and said to me: "Jiuye, this person, teasing you for a while, and being good to you for a while, doesn't he like you?" The fourth sister guessed.
"He's sometimes like a child, how can he like someone, I think he's just making fun of me." I said with a sigh.
"So, do you want any of these things?" Fourth sister.
"You don't have to waste it, of course you can't waste it." I looked at the fourth sister with a smug expression. The fourth sister knew about my abacus, so she just smiled.
The fourth sister and I sneaked away, without telling the ninth master, and soon we went out of the city, and I said happily: "Is Xinyan in front?" ”
"Well, I'll let her go and see the terrain ahead, and I'll have a carriage by the way." Fourth sister.
"Then let's hurry over." I said happily.
But I found that the fourth sister's face was a little worried.
Suddenly, there was a heavy footstep behind us, and when we looked back, it was actually those people again, although they were wearing Hanfu, but we knew at a glance that they were coming to hunt us down.
The fourth sister pushed me back and fought with those people: "You go quickly, Xinyan is not far away." ”
I watched the fourth sister deal with so many people alone, and I couldn't help it: I'm here, and it will only drag the fourth sister down, so it's better to go first, so that the fourth sister can have no worries.
I spread my legs and ran, panting, I didn't know what it was, I just knew that as long as I met Xinyan, I could stop.
"Ahh I was slapped and knocked down, who was sneaking up on me.
I turned over and saw that there was blood coming out of my mouth, and I was angry, but at the same time scared.
"Let's go." He dragged me up, but he didn't mean to kill me.
"Beep" A piercing sound pierced through, I heard the person next to me fall, I didn't have the strength, and I also fell, at this time, the ninth master ran over and helped me, I suddenly felt that the ninth master was my savior, after all, he came to help me now, I took advantage of the few breaths I still had and said the words: "Go and save the fourth sister, please, the ninth master." ”
Then I fainted.
Jiu Ye looked at the eagle chess and said, "I'll take her back to the mansion, you go to save Li Siniang, remember, don't let him see you." ”
"Understood." With that, Eagle Chess left.
I was in my sleep, and suddenly I felt that I was back in reality, and I tried to open my eyes and felt that the top of my head was white.
"Ashurjo, if you don't get up again, I'll strip you of your clothes." The Ninth Master had a threatening tone, but I slowly opened my eyes because of these words, I smiled and said, "Ninth Master, I'm like this, can you not be joking?" ”
"It's good that you wake up, the doctor just said that you are in a fugue, if you don't call your soul back, I'm afraid you won't wake up." The Ninth Master sat on the edge of my bed.
I seem to have really come back to reality, but I can't tell which side is reality.
"You're just seriously injured, how can you be so unconscious." The Ninth Master asked curiously.
"Maybe it's because I don't want to see you." I joked.
"Hmph," the Ninth Master smiled disdainfully.
I suddenly thought that the fourth sister had no news yet, so I asked, "Ninth Master, have you gone to save the fourth sister?" ”
"Don't worry, they're all right." The Ninth Master looked at me and said, "It's just that I didn't tell them where you are, it's too dangerous for you to be with them, just so I will go back to the capital by the way, so you can go with us." ”
It's okay, after all, he is a prince, and he can find someone to protect him at any time, if I follow the fourth sister again, I'm afraid it will affect her.
Seeing that I didn't speak, the Ninth Master stood up and said, "You have a good rest, we will leave in a few days." Then he walked out.
A few days later, the fourth master received a letter from me to him, and immediately came to find the thirteenth brother. After hearing my news, the thirteenth master said, "Fourth brother, the letter says that someone is chasing and killing them, do you want to find her in person?" ”
"That's right, Brother Thirteen, you often go out and are familiar with the situation outside, I want you to go out with me." Fourth Master.
"Okay, let's go." The thirteenth master didn't say a word, and took Luo Xinghai and the fourth master on horseback.
My injuries actually healed quickly, but I still didn't have any strength in my body, and sitting in the carriage, I kept holding this piece of red unicorn jade and staring intently.
"You've been looking at this jade pendant for a long time, is it that good-looking?" Ninth Master.
"See things and think about people, do you understand." I didn't look at the ninth master, I just blindly looked at this jade pendant.
The Ninth Master just pouted.
"Alas" As soon as the carriage bumped, I slipped down instantly, but fortunately, the ninth master grabbed me and held me in his arms, I looked at the ninth master and lowered my head a little embarrassed.
The ninth master was a little happy, and I immediately stood up and sat back in my seat.
"This mountain road is a little bumpy, you sit attentively, don't always look at the broken jade pendant." The Ninth Master pretended to be disgusted and said.
I immediately put the jade pendant back on my waist, but I was a little nervous in my heart: What's the matter, I was embarrassed just now.
When the ninth master saw my complicated expression, he knew that I was embarrassed by what happened just now, and secretly laughed.
The thirteenth master and the fourth master led the horse and walked on the street, and the fourth master: "According to the time point when Shu Qiao sent a letter ten days ago, at this time, it is estimated that it is almost here." ”
"That's right, Xinghai, go and say hello to the local magistrate, and let people protect Shu Qiao when they see her." Thirteen masters.
"Yes." Luo Xinghai got on his horse and began to look for the location of the mansion.
"Fourth brother, don't worry, didn't Shu Qiao say that there are still two people to protect her? It must be fine. The thirteenth master comforted the fourth master who frowned.
"Let's look around and maybe we'll meet them." The fourth master said with some concern.
"Yes." The Thirteenth Master is naturally accompanied.
"Fourth Master." Li Siniang walked over from the front, but Mo Xinyan was still wearing a veil.
"You're not?" The fourth master looked at it with some doubts, but he didn't see Shu Qiao's figure and hurriedly asked, "Where is Shu Qiao?" ”
"Shu Qiao was separated from us, only to know that he was rescued." Siniang said.
The fourth master relaxed a little and said, "How did you find us?" ”
"It's inconvenient to tell you about this." The fourth sister said very calmly.
The Thirteenth Master kept staring at Mo Xinyan, and always felt that something was familiar.
"Shu Qiao has always said that he wants to come to you, so we have come to tell you. This is the dart left behind by the person who rescued Shu Qiao, has the fourth master seen it?"
The fourth sister took out the dart in her arms and showed it to the fourth master.
The fourth master took it, looked at it, thought for a while, and then shook his head.
Siniang said: "Then let's retire first." ”
The fourth sister left with Xinyan.
The fourth master was actually relieved, and when he was about to leave, he saw that the thirteenth master had been staring at the front, so he laughed: "Thirteenth brother, when did you like to stare at other girls so much." ”
"No, I just think she's familiar." The Thirteenth Master smiled, and then followed the Fourth Master: "Since Shu Qiao was rescued, then she will definitely go back to the capital to find the fourth brother, so we might as well set off and return to Beijing." ”
"Yes." The fourth master also happened to think so.
The fourth sister actually knew what Xinyan meant, so she asked, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you join this organization at the beginning, otherwise you wouldn't be with the Thirteenth Master now." ”
"Master, this is all my own volition, you don't have to blame yourself." Although Xinyan said this, the fourth sister knew what it was like to have a lover who could not become a family member in the end.
