Chapter Forty-Eight: Guarding the Plant
As soon as Xie Yun came back, Xie Zhen really rushed to her yard as soon as possible, Xie Yun was really surprised to see her, it turned out that Xie Hao rarely set foot in her yard. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Zhen'er, why are you here?" Xie Yun felt a little uneasy in her heart, for fear that she didn't know when she would provoke her again.
Xie Hao grabbed her and said with a smile: "Sister Yun, I will discuss one thing with you, these nights, will you come to live with me first?" ”
Xie Yun was surprised: "Why? ”
Xie Zhen said truthfully: "After you just went out, Xunhuan came to visit, she said that this case is very serious, it is not an ordinary flower thief, she is worried about our safety, so she will come to the house in person to protect us at night." ”
Xie Yun's eyes widened, even more surprised than when Xie Hao first heard the news, "Do you want Lord Ye to guard the door for us?" What's so embarrassing about that? ”
Xie Zhen smiled: "It's okay, Xunhuan has already decided, and she will come over in the evening." Sister Yun, you should clean up quickly, I have the bedding or something, if you are used to using yours, you can also bring it over. ”
What else can Xie Yun say? She looked around and saw that there was nothing she had to bring, so she got up very simply and said, "Let's go, I don't have anything to bring." ”
Xie Zhen nodded again and again with a smile, and after coming out of Xie Yun's courtyard, she went to Old Lady Xie's courtyard again, and mentioned the advice to the old man to seek joy during the day.
Old Man Xie had already taken precautions, but it seemed that Xie Hao was a little too much.
Xie Zhen was a little embarrassed.
But Old Man Xie admired this little granddaughter very much. Brushing his beard, he asked, "Zhen'er, are you familiar with Lord Ye of the Six Doors?" ”
Xie Zhen thought for a moment. "Well, I've met once before." ”
She was referring to the first time she saw her in Lin'an City.
But Old Man Xie obviously misunderstood, and said meaningfully: "Lord Ye and His Royal Highness the Great Prince are very close, do you have any plans in your heart?" ”
Intend? Xie Zhen was shocked, and felt that this topic was strange from top to bottom.
"Grandfather, granddaughter doesn't have any plans, it's just just to make friends with Lord Ye!" She said with a straight face: "My granddaughter has made friends. As for who she is close to, it has nothing to do with her granddaughter. ”
Old lady Xie didn't know if he believed her words. He only nodded slowly, and said intentionally or unintentionally: "Do you know that His Royal Highness the Great Prince followed your eldest uncle to Pingle County this time?" ”
Xie Zhen was silent for a moment, but finally nodded.
Old Lady Xie seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and leaned back on the chair a little tiredly. folded his hands on his abdomen and said, "Your uncle's business is in crisis." ”
He sighed deeply, and his face finally showed a little old, at this time he was finally not the Taifu Xie who was holding it all day long, but just an old father.
Xie Hao thought of the calamities of the Xie family in that life, and couldn't help but worry in his heart, and said, "Then why did grandfather let the eldest uncle go?" ”
Old Man Xie glanced at her deeply and said meaningfully: "The people of the Xie family are all involuntarily. ”
Xie Zhen lowered her head and didn't dare to look at him. always felt that he had something to say, although the old man would not harm her, but if he quietly calculated her. She also felt uncomfortable when she thought about it.
When Xie Zhen returned to his yard with a heavy heart, Ye Xunhuan had already arrived and was drinking tea with Xie Yun.
As soon as she entered the house, Ye Xunhuan felt that she was in a bad spirit, and her expression was suddenly abrupt, and she couldn't help but be a little worried.
"What's wrong with you? Lord Xie doesn't agree to send a few more people to patrol at night? She handed over a cup of tea. Asked Xie Zhendao.
Xie Zhen took the cup and didn't drink it. Just put it in the palm of her hand to warm it, I don't know what's going on, she felt a little chill since she came out of the old man's place.
"How so? Grandfather, he had already arranged it. She put away her thoughts and smiled reluctantly.
Ye Xunhuan has a pair of discerning eyes, where can she not see that she is forcing a smile? It's just that since she didn't want to say it, she wouldn't ask anything, so she just changed the topic and said, "Lord Xie is far-sighted, it's me who has done it too much." ”
"How so?" Xie Zhen didn't want her emotions to affect the people around her, so she only laughed and said, "My grandfather just praised you to me!" Saying that you are a heroine, a heroine among women, it is a great blessing in life that we can make friends like you. ”
It's okay not to say this, but as soon as she said this, Ye Xunhuan didn't believe it even more, you must know that she and Old Man Xie have never had any dealings, and the meeting is just a nodding acquaintance, will Old Man Xie take her in his eyes and say two things, how can he still praise her in front of his granddaughter?
She didn't say anything, and smiled slightly.
It was not early, Xie Yun turned around and spread out the big quilt and asked, "How are the three of us sleeping tonight?" ”
Xie Zhen laughed and said, "Squeeze to sleep!" ”
She looked at Ye Xunhuan again and said with a smile: "How about it, you won't dislike us, right?" ”
Her words were naturally a joke, who knew that Ye Xunhuan actually said seriously: "It's good for the two of you to sleep together tonight." ”
"Huh?" Xie Zhen was a little dumbfounded, "Then where do you sleep?" ”
Ye Xunhuan said: "This room is quite big, I can sleep anywhere!" ”
Xie Zhen opened her mouth, and before she could speak, Xie Yun was already very apologetic: "Then how can it be done, you are a guest, where is the reason why the master sleeps on the bed and the guest lays on the floor?" I think so, Xunhuan, you can sleep with Zhen'er tonight, and I'll just make a bunk on the ground. ”
"No, no, no!" Xie Zhen said: "If you really want to lay on the floor, of course it is more suitable for me to sleep on the ground, so it was decided, you two will sleep in bed tonight!" ”
Ye Xunhuan couldn't cry or laugh a little, she hadn't finished her words yet! The two sisters rushed to lay the floor by themselves.
"Wait." She finally interjected while the two of them were pausing, and said, "Listen to me first, you two are sleeping in the bed tonight, and there is nothing to argue about, do you know?" As for me, I'll sleep on it tonight. ”
She said, holding up her finger and pointing upward.
"Where?"
Xie Zhen and Xie Yun both looked in the direction of her finger.
Xie Zhen glared and said, "Don't tell me you're going to sleep on the roof." ”
Ye Xunhuan smiled and said, "Of course not." I mean to say. I'll just be on the beam of my bedroom tonight, so that it will be easy to hide, and second, it will be better to protect you. ”
Xie Zhen scratched her head. Some incredulous: "That's it? Can you sleep? ”
Ye Xunhuan smiled: "You can't, I can." Well, this time, do you want to fight with me? ”
Contend...... How can this be argued...... They can't get up......
Xie Zhen and Xie Yun glanced at each other and subconsciously shook their heads.
Xie Zhen was a little frustrated, and said, "Then be careful yourself." ”
Ye Xunhuan nodded and said, "I know, you can rest assured." Could it be that you all think that I am a vegetarian in this six-door famous catcher? ”
Of course, Xie Zhen and Xie Yun would not think like this.
Ye Xunhuan also quickly proved this.
She kicked lightly, Xie Zhen and Xie Yun didn't see what was going on. She had already jumped on the beam, lay down lightly, put her hands behind her head, and smiled: "How is it." You can rest in peace now, right? ”
Xie Zhen and Xie Yun were dumbfounded.
Xie Hao stammered: "There is one more thing. ”
Ye Xunhuan hummed softly.
Xie Zhen said: "Do you want a quilt when you lie on it?" ”
……
There was an eerie silence, Ye Xunhuan seemed to be speechless and turned his face away without speaking, Xie Yun seemed to think that her words were funny, and the tears of laughter came out of leaning on the bed.
Xie Hao only felt a little depressed...... She's obviously serious, okay!
The candles in the house were finally blown out.
There were only a few movements in the darkness to turn over, and after a while, Xie Zhen's nervous advice sounded, "Xunhuan, be careful not to fall off." ”
She was met with silence and darkness.
Just when Xie Zhen thought she was asleep, she heard a gentle voice softly agree.
On the top of the moon, the three people in the house seemed to be asleep.
The subordinates on the patrol of Xie Mansion carried lanterns and yawned and passed by the gate of Xie Zhen's courtyard. One of them couldn't help but mutter, "Patrol Patrol, when is this going to be patrol?" Not even a cat, and said that there were some flower thieves. ”
"You want to go back and hug your wife, right?" The person in front of him laughed.
The group laughed. After such a fuss, they suddenly felt a lot more energetic, and finally cheered up again and continued to patrol the mansion.
Just as they turned the corner, a figure suddenly swept up from the parapet outside the house, outstretching its arms in mid-air like a big black bird.
The person who came seemed to know the topography of Xie Mansion very well, and a few ups and downs quietly landed in Xie Yun's courtyard, the tip of his nose stirred. His footsteps walked quickly and lightly towards Xie Yun's wing.
The person in the room is shallow, and it seems to be in a good dream.
A sinister smile appeared on the corner of the visitor's mouth. Reaching out and taking out a smoke in his arms, he stabbed it into the window paper with skill, and with a gentle blow, a puff of smoke suddenly bloomed in the room, and soon dissipated into the air.
The people in the room were breathing harder.
With a glint of triumph in his eyes, he took out a dagger and pried open the door, tiptoeing into the room.
The room was dark, and people could clearly see the furnishings in the house without lighting the lamp, so it turned out that he was born with night eyes.
A dark figure lay at the foot of the bed, sleeping soundly.
The visitor frowned, already sensing that something was wrong.
He stepped forward in three or two steps, and turned the sleeping man a little rudely, only to see that she was very ordinary-looking, with a double bun, and obviously a maid.
The visitor's eyes were cold, Huo Di stepped forward and lifted the hanging gauze tent, and the bed was empty except for a thin quilt and a pillow.
"Damn it!"
The person who came was anxious, and couldn't help but curse in a low voice, suspecting that he had already taken precautions because he had exposed his horse's feet and was known, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, and he didn't look at the sleeping maid on the ground, stomped his feet, and unfolded his body and went outside the courtyard.
There seemed to be a breeze blowing.
After landing, the visitor who had been flying out of the outer wall paused and looked back at Xie Zhen's courtyard with suspicion.
He sniffled slightly, as if to confirm the scent of the breeze.
You can't be wrong, it's the scent he left on the young lady's clothes when he deliberately bumped into her today!
The aroma is not smelled by others, but he has been trained to have a nose as sensitive as a dog since he was a child, so there is no mistake!
The person who came turned around suddenly, swept towards Xie Hao's appearance, and went straight to Xie Zhen's bedroom!
It was quiet, only the sound of two breaths in the room was very clear.
It turned out to be two people. The person who came smiled cruelly in his heart, and just packed it up and took it away.
He repeated his old trick and shoved a puff of smoke into the door.
He didn't know how many times he had done it, and he had never missed it, so he was confident that he would do it easily tonight.
It's a pity that it was unfortunate that he met Ye Xunhuan today.
There were obviously three people in the room, why were there only two breathing? Therefore, Ye Xunhuan was still absolutely awake at this time, almost the moment the man in black fell into the courtyard, she had already found someone breaking in, and then deliberately held her breath, and when the cigarette was sent in, she frowned, who was originally holding her breath, and quickly turned over, silently like a swallow, and reached out to cover the noses of Xie Zhen and Xie Yun.
Xie Yun and Xie Zhen were both agitated spirits, and they immediately came to their senses.
Ye Xunhuan shook his head slightly.
Xie Yun and Xie Zhen are both smart people, and they immediately understood that the current situation was a little dangerous, so they kept silent very tacitly, but they didn't have any kung fu in their bodies, so they naturally couldn't hold their breath for a long time like Ye Xunhuan, and for a while, both of them puffed up their cheeks, and their faces turned red.
Xie Yun's body was the most weak, and soon he couldn't support it, opened his mouth and breathed heavily, and suddenly felt a strong sleepiness.
Xie Hao looked anxious, but she was already a little reluctant to hold on to herself, and she was too busy to take care of herself, so naturally there was no way to make Xie Yun insist.
Ye Xunhuan frowned, patted Xie Zhen's hand gently, and whispered: "When I go out, you will immediately pour yourself a pot of tea, and then obediently hide in the house, you know?" ”
After saying so many words, she had already inhaled a lot of smoke while speaking, and her brain seemed to be a little chaotic for a while, which showed the strength of this smoke.
But Ye Xunhuan was not an ordinary person after all, and as soon as she felt sleepy, she immediately bit the tip of her tongue heavily.
The sweet smell of blood stimulated her brain, and her chaotic mind became clear again.
Xie Zhen didn't dare to speak, only stared at her eyes and nodded slowly.
Ye Xunhuan finally let go of his hand with confidence, and the whole person flipped backwards like a harrier, and then kicked heavily towards the figure reflected in the door!
The person who came didn't expect that there was still a master hidden in the house, so he didn't take precautions, but when Ye Xunhuan kicked out that kick, he was keenly aware of the danger, and the whole person immediately flew backwards, as soon as he saw that things were not good, he didn't hold on, and he was about to flee immediately.
Ye Xunhuan broke out of the door, seeing that he was going to escape, where would he easily let him go? The figure was in a hurry, and he swept in front of him with a sweep, and he stretched out his hand to slap sharply!
The person who came knew that the opponent was a master who should not be underestimated, so he didn't dare not accept it, and the hand on his side was raised, facing Ye Xunhuan, with a little glow in his palm.
It turned out that he had already hidden the secret weapon in his hand, as long as he knocked her down when Ye Xunhuan was not paying attention!
Ye Xunhuan's palm power has been used for the old, and it must not be taken back at this moment!
With a snap, the two palms were handed over.
Ye Xunhuan's body trembled slightly.
