Chapter 16: The Mysterious Masked Man (1)
Just when Yan Xiruo and Yan Xiyao were talking happily, Liu Wu trotted in, and didn't notice that there was an extra person in the hall: "Miss." She ran in a hurry, probably because of her perennial martial arts practice, since her voice did not change at all, but her tone sounded a little anxious.
Yan Xiruo put away her smile, as if she was infected by her anxiety: "What's wrong?" ”
"Miss, I just found this out when I was cleaning up your room." As he spoke, he handed over what he was holding. It was a bag of brocade, and the blue fabric was simply embroidered with the word "holy" on it.
The reason why catkins are so anxious is because she didn't find it in the morning, and just now I heard from Mama Lin that Miss Eight is back, and she may have to live in a room with Miss Seven, and ask her to prepare more futons, she only found out, and it is in the most conspicuous place.
Although the Yanfu is not a royal prince's mansion, and there are not many people with strong martial arts, it is not easy to enter the Yanfu easily, besides, the safety of Qingfeng Yuan has always been the responsibility of their brothers and sisters, although it cannot be said to be the best, but it is definitely the closest place in the entire Yanfu, and the people who can go without a shadow under the noses of their brothers and sisters are either their own people, or they are a terrifying existence with high martial arts.
Yan Xiruo took the bag in Liu Fu's hand, put away her smile, and frowned slightly, she had never seen this bag, and she had never seen it on anyone in Yanfu, she could put this thing in her room under the noses of the Liu family brothers and sisters, it seems that the opponent is not simple.
"Xiruo, what's in here?" Yan Xiyao has also faded her smile at this moment, Liu Wu and Liu Hao brothers and sisters used to be in their father's military camp, they also know a little, the kung fu of these two brothers and sisters is considered to be at the master level, which can make Liu Wu so flustered, it seems that this thing has some origins.
Yan Xiruo glanced at Yan Xiyao, and directly opened the bag, and there was only a small bead flower in it.
"A beaded flower? I thought it was something? Yan Xiyao's tone sounded a little disappointed, but she still looked at Yan Xiruo worriedly, because she found that Yan Xiruo seemed to be a little wrong.
Yan Xiruo's face changed a little at the moment she saw the bead flower, others may not know the meaning of the bead flower, but Yan Xiruo couldn't understand it, the bead flower was left by her when she followed her master to Yuncheng six years ago and lost the competition with others, when she left the bead flower to that person, she said that that person could ask her for any request, as long as she could do it, she would definitely do it.
But she clearly remembered that person was later killed by her senior brother, but why was this Zhuhua still there, was that person not dead at all, or someone deliberately wanted to use this Zhuhua to threaten her.
What Yan Xiruo was afraid of was not that the person who came back alive and asked her for a request, but that person had seen his ability as a phantom family member and restrained her, which was what Yan Xiruo was most worried about.
Everything in this world is mutually reinforcing, she is an illusion family, she knows illusion, but she also has weaknesses, and that person just knows her weaknesses. This is also the reason why she asked her senior brother to kill that person back then.
"Xiruo, what's wrong with you, is there anything wrong with this bead flower?" Even though Yan Xiyao was a little impatient, she was very careful, and she couldn't help but ask with some worry when she saw the expression on Yan Xiruo's face one by one.
Yan Xiruo shook his head and raised a casual smile: "It's nothing, this bead flower is mine, a long time ago, and then I don't know how it disappeared, but now I suddenly see it, and I can't react." Her words were half true and half false.
Yan Xiyao is also a smart person, and she understands the meaning of her words a little, so she simply doesn't ask, but Yan Xiyao looks at Yan Xiruo, and her eyes are still on the pearl flower.
I don't know if it's her delusion, Yan Xiyao always feels that Yan Xiruo in front of her is very mysterious, so mysterious that even she can't guess it, and she can't help but wonder what she has experienced in the past ten years, making her change from a flamboyant and confident girl to a smiling and docile woman now.
"Shiruo, I'm here, no matter what, you can tell me that I'm always by your side." Yan Xiyao took her hand and let her eyes temporarily leave the pearl flower, she didn't ask her why she didn't tell the truth, and she didn't ask her what she had experienced in the past ten years to wear away all her publicity, she just wanted to tell her that she was there, always been, they were the best sisters and the closest friends.
"I know, Yaoyao, I'm a little tired, so I'll go and rest first, you can sleep well in the guest room tonight." Yan Xiruo's mind is very messed up now, she needs to calm down and think about it, she doesn't want Yan Xiyao to participate in her plan too early, she wants to try to protect the innocence that she doesn't have in Yan Xiyao.
"Okay, you go and get some rest, I won't bother you tonight, but from tomorrow, I'm going to sleep with you." is still that coquettish tone, which always makes people feel good about her.
Yan Xiruo smiled, the dullness just now has decreased a lot.
"Zhiyun, you should take care of Yaoyao today, I have catkins." Yan Xiruo smiled and said to Zhiyun who was still in a situation on the side, looking at her obviously at a loss, but still nodding, and her mood was much better.
"Catkins, let's go." Yan Xiruo took the catkins and left slowly. Until he was far away from Yan Xiyao's room, he stopped in the small garden of Qingfeng Garden.
"Miss, do you want to find out the origin of this bag?" Seeing that it was rare for her young lady to have such a serious expression on her face, she knew that the matter was very serious, and whispered.
"It's useless, since he can come and go without a trace, he will definitely not leave any traces, you can't find it." Yan Xiruo looked at the bag in his hand and gently stroked the word "saint" embroidered on the bag.
That workmanship, that style, is obviously for men, Yan Xiruo deviated slightly from this gaze, looking at the flowers in the garden, the corners of her mouth were almost inaudible, she had an intuition, this man would definitely appear tonight.
It's just that all this seems to be slowly drifting off the track she expected.
The night of Yanfu is always very quiet, especially Qingfeng Garden, because Yanxi Ruo is quiet, so as long as it is dark, there is almost no sound in Qingfeng Garden, only occasionally there are a few sounds of animals I don't know what it is, and occasionally the chirping of a little fox in Yanxiruo's room.
And tonight's Qingfeng Garden is surprisingly quiet, the little fox who has been staying in Yan Xiruo's room also let Yan Xiyao hug it, Yan Xiyao always has no resistance to those little things, at that time, Yan Xiruo would ask the emperor for the little fox, also because she knew that Yan Xiyao would definitely like it.
Yan Xiruo's room was no longer the occasional chirping of the little fox, and it became quieter, so quiet that she could hear her own breathing.
Lying on the bed, Yan Xiruo didn't have the slightest sleep, she was waiting, waiting for that person to appear, earlier Liu Wu said that she wanted to accompany her, and she sent her away, she knew that the other party must not want to see any irrelevant people present.
Time was passing little by little, and Yan Xiruo was slowly a little sleepy while lying on the bed.
Suddenly, she felt a strange fluctuation, but before she could get up to see what it was, a sleepiness suddenly hit her, making her unconscious for an instant.
When she woke up, Yan Xiruo found herself on a big tree, her eyes looked around cautiously, there was no second person on this big tree dozens of meters high except for her, and she was on the highest branch of this tree at the moment, looking down, because it was dark, she didn't see too clearly.
But she had an inexplicable feeling that the man was watching her under the tree at the moment.
Sighing softly, Yan Xiruo inexplicably wanted to roll his eyes at the sky, but was finally held back by himself. Leaning forward slightly, she jumped off the tree, touched the ground with her toes, and landed on the ground gracefully like a goddess.
"Come out, don't you just want to try my martial arts when you bring me out?" Yan Xiruo took off the leaves that were accidentally stained on his clothes, his tone was light, and his eyes only noticed the leaves in front of him, and he did not look around.
There was a sound of palms clapping behind him, followed by the same somewhat light footsteps, just listening to the footsteps, you can know that the opponent's martial arts cultivation is definitely not low: "Miss Yan Qi is really smart, and has a good martial arts, but I don't know, does your family know your skills?" ”
Yan Xiruo turned around, and there was a slender man in black standing not far behind him, if it weren't for the white mask on his face, his whole person really seemed to be completely hidden in the dark.
"Who are you?" Yan Xiruo's eyes stared straight at him, without the slightest expression, but her heart was quickly filtering the people she had met over the years, and as a result, there was no such person.
"Who am I?" The masked man's voice was low and good, even with a slight smile: "Isn't Miss Yan Qi curious about the reason why I am looking for you?" ”
"Oh?" Yan Xiruo raised her eyebrows: "You are quite direct, but before asking you why you are looking for me, can you tell me that you put the tips in my room and the things in the tips?" ”
"Of course, I don't know how Miss Seven feels when she sees her old things?" The man's tone was always smiling, as if he was teasing his prey.
Yan Xiruo stared at him, his face was a little serious: "Why do you have that pearl flower, you were the one who competed with me back then?" ”
"Didn't the person who competed with you back then let your senior brother kill him, how could it be me? As for the bead flower, I can't tell you right now, but can I tell you something else? The man took a few steps forward, with a slight danger, since Yan Xiruo couldn't move.
