Chapter 137: Ink Painting
"Uncle Pei is saying that he wants to find a home dart bureau? But the Shu Road is dangerous, even if you go by car, it will inevitably be difficult. Ordinary people can't stand it, let alone wounded soldiers who are seriously injured? ”
Seeing Xie Ning's confused face, Pei Xinghai stopped selling Guanzi, shook his head lightly and said, "What I am referring to is not a simple dart game, but a martial arts hall. Although they are injured, their kung fu is also practiced. Those who are slightly injured can naturally pass on messages back and forth between Beijing and Shu, and those who are seriously injured can also stay in Beijing to teach others. ”
That's a good idea. Xie Ning's eyes lit up, and he raised his lips and praised: "Uncle Pei is really powerful, he can think of such a good method in such a short time." It can not only solve the worry of inconvenient communication between the two places, but also enable the wounded soldiers to be resettled, which is indeed the best of both worlds. ”
Hearing her praise, Rao is as calm as Pei Xinghai, and his old face was slightly red, and he coughed lightly twice in disguise, and then he said loudly: "I am going to leave Beijing and return to Shu in the near future, and the reason why I talked to you about this matter is to entrust this important task to you." ”
Xie Ning nodded thoughtfully, if there was a way to properly place many wounded soldiers, she naturally took it as a deed, thought for a moment, and then said briskly: "I have some silver taels on hand now." Coupled with the dividends saved in the past, it is not difficult to rent a piece of land in Beijing. Whether it's a bundle or a commission, you don't have to worry about it when you have an income in the future. ”
"That's fine," Pei Xinghai smiled with satisfaction, and although his face was covered by a beard, he could still see the flush on his cheeks.
***
Because Pei Xinghai still had something to do, the three of them just sat in the teahouse for a while. And they parted ways.
Thinking of Mingshuang and the others who stayed in the Hou Mansion, Xie Ning and Gu Sui did not stay outside for long, and returned to the Hou Mansion before lunch, but before their master and servant reached the gate of the Hou Mansion, they were stopped by a carriage.
"Dare to ask Miss, but her surname is Xie?" The driver was a young man, and when he saw Shainin from a distance around the corner, he quickly drove to a stop in front of Shainin and the others.
Without searching his face from memory, Xie Ning stepped forward, protected Gu Sui behind him without a trace, and replied in a voice that was neither high nor low: "Exactly." I don't know what your attention is? ”
The young man smiled. But he didn't give an answer. Instead, he jumped out of the car with a definite movement. Xie Ning looked at him intently, and when he was hesitating, he suddenly felt a movement in the carriage, so he looked away. Turn your head to look at the door.
But I saw that the curtain of the car trembled slightly. Then comes into view. It is a jade hand with a white onion, glowing with a faint pink.
It's a woman.
Xie Ning made up his mind in his heart, and the person in the car lifted the dark blue curtain. A fair-skinned little face was suddenly revealed in front of Xie Ning's eyes.
It is not a heavenly fragrance, objectively speaking, the facial features are not very exquisite, but when placed on the person in front of them, it is inexplicably pleasing to the eye, like an ink painting with shallow color, and it is gentle in tranquility.
After a brief glance, Xie Ning put away the amazement in his eyes, and the person in front of him had already smiled and shouted: "Xie Ning, right?" ”
When Xie Ning heard this, he couldn't help but be suspicious: "Dare to ask where the girl learned my name?"
The woman smiled slightly, opened her lips and said, "I am entrusted by His Royal Highness King An to come to the Hou Mansion to find you." ”
What the? Brother Ziyue? Xie Ning frowned, looked at the other party without a trace, and said tentatively: "The Yandi bandits have been cleared, I don't know when His Highness will be able to return to Beijing with the army?" ”
"His Highness did not go with his soldiers, but was one step ahead of them." The smile on the woman's face did not decrease for half a minute, and she didn't know if she noticed Xie Ning's distrust, "At this moment, the other person is already in Tianlin Fang, and I will pick you up, which is exactly what he instructed on the return trip." ”
Since this woman knows Tianlin Fang, she thinks that there will be no fake. Although he didn't know what happened to Qin Feng's early return, Xie Ning didn't hesitate too much, said a few words to Gu Sui, and then turned around and got into the carriage.
Before he sat down, a familiar cold fragrance came from beside him. If it weren't for knowing that Qin Feng was waiting in Tianlin Fang at this moment, Xie Ning would have thought that he was in this car.
The aroma on Qin Feng's body, although it can be obtained by touching it, but in the end, the taste is light, and it is not even as easy to distinguish as at first, and it can only be smelled by smelling it closely.
But the fragrance on this woman's body was a little stronger than the usual contamination, knowing that the other party was Qin Feng's henchman, Xie Ning was more relieved, sat in the car, and talked to her: "I don't know why His Highness is looking for me?" ”
The woman smiled at her, and replied in a familiar tone, "I don't know about this, you might as well ask him yourself." ”
"It's okay," Xie Ning bowed slightly, and asked again, "Did you come back together?" ”
"Yes," as if to see Xie Ning's thoughts, the woman told her without concealment: "Your Highness returned to Beijing ahead of schedule on the Mid-Autumn Festival this time, without informing the people in advance, so he did not come here to look for you in person, but ordered me to go." ”
Hearing this, Xie Ning already knew it in his heart. You know, it's not a good feeling to be away from home. Qin Feng returned to Beijing ahead of schedule to surprise everyone.
Tianlinfang was not far from the Hou Mansion, and the two had only chatted for a few words, and the carriage had stopped. As if knowing that they were coming, the door of the house was just a void. Xie Ning walked in with ease, and after a while, he arrived at the place where Qin Feng usually rested in the inner courtyard.
Before he reached the door, a gray shadow passed in front of him. This figure that comes and goes without a trace, not without a trace, but who it is. Xie Ning couldn't help but smile, and raised his voice to call: "Brother Traceless! ”
Traceless's figure in the air froze, obviously still a little uncomfortable with Xie Ning's new title, but he didn't react too much, and after a pause, he landed three feet beside Xie Ning, nodded to her expressionlessly, and said with a word of regret: "Miss Xie, please." ”
Xie Ning smiled back, then stepped forward and pushed open the door, and before he saw Qin Feng's figure, he had already called out with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned: "Brother Ziyue!" ”
"A-Ning."
With a clear voice, the man in white standing in the center of the room slowly walked towards the door. The warm sun of the afternoon like a golden victory fire just shone on him, and Xie Ning couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyes were red unconsciously.
Tears slid down his cheeks, not because the light coming in through the window was too harsh, but because he saw the white cloth that had been wrapped around his right arm, layer after layer of white cloth used to bandage the wound.
Didn't Uncle Pei say that His Royal Highness King An was all right and not injured? Now, how can it be......
From the bottom of my heart, there was a sourness that I had never felt before, and it spread all the way to my throat. Xie Ning walked quickly in the direction of Qin Feng, but said astringently: "The injury on your arm, what's the matter?" (To be continued.) )
PS: Qin Ziyue!
