Chapter 128: Silent Waiting

Shuangmuzi fell asleep groggily, and in her sleep, she dreamed of her long-lost brother, the familiar smiling face, and the eyes that loved her;

Suddenly, she was disturbed by a white shadow, and when she woke up in a daze, it was already pitch black outside, and an old lamp in the house had been lit, and she slowly got up and shook her heavy head, it turned out to be another dream;

She walked outside the house and didn't find Song Jingran's figure, is it rare that she came to light the lamp for him? He sighed inexplicably, and walked back to the house, the table was still dry and hard, and he couldn't satisfy his appetite at all.

Just when Shuangmuzi was secretly lost, there was a faint sound of footsteps outside the house, Shuangmuzi was surprised, the person who could come here was nothing more than Song Jingran, and there was a burst of surprise in his heart, and he hurriedly got up to greet him, sure enough, it was Song Jingran, it was difficult to hide her joy, she said a little eagerly, "I thought you helped me, lit the lamp and left." ”

Song Jingran was stunned thoughtfully for a moment, and after instantly hiding the trace of uncertainty in his indifference, he raised the bag of food in his hand and said, "I brought you something to eat." So saying, he went into the house by himself.

For Song Jingran's coldness, Shuangmuzi was inevitably a little disappointed, and he didn't notice Song Jingran's strange expression, and then walked into the house a little dejected, Song Jingran had already opened the packed chicken soup porridge and hot steamed buns and put them on the table;

Shuang Muzi looked at the food that was only a one-person portion, looked at Song Jingran and said, "Don't you eat it?" ”

"I've eaten at the house." Song Jingran still didn't have any expression.

When Shuangmuzi heard this, he vomited inexplicably, he mentioned his home all the time, did he want to tell her, are they happy?

She walked to the table and sat down, not hiding the slightest displeasure in her heart, a woman will only show the side of a little woman in front of her beloved.

Song Jingran naturally saw the trace of displeasure revealed by Shuangmuzi, he did come out of the mansion, but he just went back to the mansion and ordered, the news that he had been busy recently, and he deliberately said this, even he didn't understand his intentions;

He only knew that he was afraid that the fire in his heart would burn more and more, and if he had to work hard to suppress it, he couldn't have too much contact with Shuangmuzi, and this was also the first time he cowardly chose to escape, just for her.

Shuangmuzi was still angry in his heart, I don't know if he hadn't eaten any delicious food for a day, or because of the anger in his heart, he unconsciously ate a big bowl of porridge, but the steamed bun didn't move, but compared to the usual amount of food, it was already very different;

Looking at the bottom of the bowl and seeing the emptiness, he burped with satisfaction, and looked out thoughtfully, curiously wondering what he was doing;

She thought about it, so she got up and walked outside, only to see that the night was shrouded in Song Jingran's handsome silhouette, he was distracted, and he didn't seem to realize her appearance, she couldn't bear to break this tranquility, as long as she looked at him silently like this, she was already very satisfied.

Song Jingran really didn't pay attention to the existence of Shuangmuzi, because, he was thinking about Shuangmuzi's words, when he came, Shuangmuzi's lamp had already been lit, but it was not difficult to hear from her words that the lamp was not lit by herself, then, there must be another person appearing, it is obvious that this person has no ill will towards her, so who will this person be, is it Gao Jin?

Thinking of this, he sighed without secret, raised his eyes to meet the eyes of Shuangmuzi, and looked away in panic, but found the hollowness in Shuangmuzi's eyes, thinking that he was distracted from himself, she never let himself go completely, but he failed her after all, and when she didn't notice it, he withdrew his eyes and returned to the original downward gaze to cover up.

Because Shuangmuzi slept until night next to him, he was not sleepy for a while, so he sat in the garden and watched the stars, the two of them did not speak, but faced the starry night sky, each with the secret in their hearts.

The starry night sky shines on a magnificent mansion, and on the golden and brilliant door, there is a pair of white jade lions with fierce and vicious spirits standing in front of the golden and glittering two big characters 'Imperial Mansion', which is enough to show the majesty and dignity of this mansion;

It was the frightening figure that flashed by, and I saw a dazzling figure passing by on the high courtyard wall of the imperial mansion.

The late night in the palace seems a little deserted, occasionally one or two soldiers on duty at night can appear, but it is only a passing scene, the black shadow quickly shuttles through every luxurious bedroom in the mansion, and finally stops at a luxurious courtyard of the 'corridor garden';

The person who came to find the bedroom accurately, the door edge moved slightly, and one jumped in, without any movement, to determine the identity of the person in the sleep, the dazzling and glowing dagger, slipped from the sleeve and fell into the hand, walked to the bed, the dagger swept neatly and simply, the neck of the person on the bed, the person on the bed, stared at a pair of big eyes, measured the tongue, and broke the breath.

The black shadow casually pulled up the thin quilt and covered the terrifying death of the person on the bed, and then quickly left, and groped to other courtyards, suddenly two soldiers appeared in front of him, the black shadow flashed rapidly, and hid behind the stone pillar on the side, only to hear a soldier say, "What a bullshit messenger, every midnight three watches toss people." ”

Another soldier made a 'shh ”

"Oh, what are you afraid of, who is not in a dream now, just my brother's life is miserable, and in the middle of the night, the third watch has to give the bullshit messenger and find a woman for entertainment, it's really hard" The soldier shook his head and said in a helpless tone.

Another soldier also hung his head and said, "Who said no, that Miss Chen is inconvenient tonight, where can I find someone to replace me now." ”

Just as the two of them were walking in deep thought, a maid not far away walked towards this side with a bowl, and one of the soldiers shouted angrily, "What person, what are you doing so late?" ”

The little maid bent her legs, bowed her head and said, "Lord Hui, the envoy of Zhou in the Xia Feng Kingdom has the habit of eating supper, and Sister Lu, who was serving the envoy of Zhou, suddenly became unwell, and the slave maid came to deliver food for Sister Lu. ”

The soldier waved his hand, and the little maid bowed her head and left, only listening to the "slow down"

The little maid stopped again, and saw two soldiers, approaching the little maid, looking up and down with bad intentions, and then, the two looked at each other very tacitly, with a hint of a sinister smile on their faces;

And the little maid seemed to realize the misintentions of the two, so she said, "My lord, the envoy of Zhou is still waiting for the slave maid to deliver the meal, if it is cold, I am afraid that I will be blamed." ”

A soldier said with a sneer, "This meal is cold, I don't know if Lu Dao will be blamed, if this food can't be found, the Zhou envoy must be blamed." ”

The little maid didn't know the meaning of their words, so she didn't dare to leave without permission, so she just listened, and the other soldier said, "If I'm not mistaken, you should be called Xiaoying, right?" ”

"The slave maid is called Xiaoying."

"Your family lives in a small mountain village on the northern outskirts of Liangcheng, and you still have elderly parents and a stupid sister at home, right?"

The little maid nodded, she was not surprised by what they said, because when she sold herself as a maid, she reported her family background and address, including the status of her family, so that they could easily check.

"Right now, there's an opportunity for you to climb the branches, are you willing to go for it?"

In fact, the trick of the two soldiers was to call Xiaoying's maid in front of them to serve the Zhou envoy instead of the inconvenient Miss Chen, first, they didn't have to bother to find it, and second, this Xiaoying's appearance was quite delicate and should have passed.

"The slave doesn't know what the lord means."

The soldier coughed lightly and said, "The girl who serves the Zhou envoy in the palace is inconvenient today, and the Zhou envoy is currently lacking a girl who warms the bed."

Before the soldier finished speaking, Xiao Ying hurriedly knelt down and said, "The slave maid is just an ordinary maid, and she really can't handle this heavy task, so please let the two adults let the slave go." ”

"You have to obey tonight, you have to obey if you don't, the envoy of Zhou is still waiting, you hurry down and freshen up, I will send someone to pick you up." A soldier snatched the tray from Xiao Ying's hand, which was completely in a commanding tone.

"My lord," Xiao Ying choked up, and before she could speak, a soldier threatened, "Don't forget your family." ”

Xiao Ying sobbed and stopped making a sound, letting the two drag her away, because for the sake of her family, she had no choice.

The dark shadow hidden behind the stone pillar reappeared, he was not watching a good show, he just wanted to use the maid to deliver food and find the residence of the Zhou envoy, now he still had to find it himself, but with the direction of their haunting, it should be nearby;

In a flash, there was a shuttle in the night, and finally found the Zhou envoy who was dozing off in a daze in the garden of a 'jade garden', thinking that he was still waiting for the beauty to come.

His state of being asleep and waking up also made it difficult for him to start, and after a while, if he didn't do it at this time, wouldn't it be more difficult for the two of them to send the maid for a while, and while the people inside were drowsy again, the black shadow rushed in, and the sharp dagger went exactly towards the throat of the Zhou envoy;

Xu is movement is too big, maybe the Zhou envoy is not asleep, the blade just arrived in front of him, he sideways to avoid a fatal knife, followed by a neat somersault, the body stood up, but also suffered some minor injuries, the black shadow secretly screamed that it was not good, and it was another blow at will, not wanting the opponent to be a person with skills, the two fell into a fight;

The envoy of Zhou panicked for a while, and even forgot to call people, until his body was hung everywhere, and then he screamed, "Someone, there is an assassin" The black shadow panicked for a while, and attacked again and again, at this time there was a noise outside the house, he knew that the reinforcements had arrived, and the envoy of Zhou took advantage of his unpreparedness, waved his hand and stabbed at the black shadow;

The black shadow dodged sideways, but it still cut the arm, Xu was plotted, he was angry, a tricky turn, the sharp blade went straight into the chest of the Zhou envoy, the Zhou envoy was crazy twice, and then broke his breath.

The black shadow didn't have time to clean up the scene, covering his injured arm, rushed out of the window, and at the same time the door was kicked open by the soldiers who rushed to him, only to hear, someone shouted "Catch the assassin" and then a pair of soldiers panicked throughout the house.
