210 Temptation
The Huaxu mission traveled south from Jiayuguan.
In the carriage, Xi Ning leaned lazily to the side, a little depressed.
Xia Yixue talked to her for a long time, but she didn't mention the secret technique of healing.
They're too cautious, aren't they? Do you need to be tempted for so long?
Looks like she'll have to find another way. What else is there to do?
"Your Highness, Yuangu County has arrived." Qingying reported outside the carriage.
"The first stop of the southward detour," Xi Ning sighed, "I really don't know what he plans to do!" ”
"I have sent someone to see it beforehand according to His Highness's instructions, and there is no problem." Qingying replied.
Xi Ning bowed: "It's good that you brought twenty people over in advance and put them in the dark, otherwise it won't be easy to use!" Since you have checked, then we can go with confidence, where to stay? ”
"Go to the county government first, and the arrangements for the rest haven't been said yet." Qingying said.
"If you see Zhixian, then you will see you, maybe you are the prince's person." Xi Ning was not worried.
But when she saw the magistrate of Yuangu County, her worries were almost overturned!
"Weichen see His Royal Highness Xi Ning, the prince of King Yu." Ding Ju made a big salute in a civil official uniform.
Xi Ning's smile is still beautiful, and there is no flaw to find fault with: "No courtesy." But there were many doubts in my heart.
Ding Juwen, why is the first stop after the detour, is it under the rule of Ding Juwen?
Xia Yichen, what exactly do you want to do, or, what did you find?
"Lord Ding doesn't need to be polite," Xia Yichen's face was expressionless, "Yuangu County is located in the northwest border pass. Although it is much better than Jiayuguan, it still needs His Royal Highness. ”
Xi Ning smiled lightly: "The prince of King Yu is really too polite. "It's just too infuriating," maybe it's a relatively strong adaptability, since I arrived in the realm of the Great Dry Land, there is really nothing I am not used to, including other people. Ziyu: Do you say yes? ”
Xu Ziyu bowed his head: "Indeed, the customs and customs of Daqian are good, and there is nothing inconsiderate." ”
Xia Yichen didn't say anything. But Ding Juwen, who was standing in front of him, also felt the undercurrent of these two parties surging - what the hell is this, what's going on?
In the simple courtyard of Dingfu at night. Xi Ning sat in the courtyard, the teacup in his hand kept shaking: "I didn't expect to come to the northwest, but I honed him a few points." In the northwest, it is not easy to get the voice of the people who are diligent in government and love the people. There is a shortage of water in the northwest. It takes a lot of effort to solve the water policy. ”
Qingying couldn't help but be curious: "This county magistrate Ding is also an old acquaintance of His Royal Highness?" ”
"It's all arranged by Xia Yichen," Xi Ning sighed, "I think he noticed something, otherwise why would he have to change the route and let me come under Ding Juwen's rule?" ”
Xu Ziyu disagreed: "Found? I said Xi Ning, before and after you unblocked. The difference is not ordinary. From physiognomy to voice to body shape to bearing, if not seen with your own eyes. I wouldn't believe you're you! ”
"I don't believe I'm me," Xi Ning laughed, "yes, I don't know what Lu Dao is, I just think he found out." Could it be that all this is a coincidence? ”
"Nine times out of ten, it's a coincidence, once it's an accident, twice it's a coincidence, and it's not too late for you to suspect it a third time. But, why are you so worried about him, he knows that you are you? Xu Ziyu asked, "To be honest, I respected you in the past and didn't ask about you at all, but now that you are here, strange things are happening one after another, and I am really curious, who you were in the past and what happened!" ”
Xi Ning glared at him: "Don't care about what you shouldn't do, don't worry about it, curiosity kills the cat!" ”
"It's a pity I'm not a cat, I'm a human!" Xu Ziyu was stubborn.
In the courtyard next door, Xia Yichen and Ding Juwen were talking.
"I came to find Shizi for no other purpose, I just wanted to ask her about her situation." Ding Juwen sighed.
"She," Xia Yichen paused, his tone softened by two points, "Have you heard the news of her disappearance in the West Sea?" ”
Ding Juwen smiled bitterly: "I don't know what Lu Dao has to do with Xihai, I only know that Lu Dao, the Sumire Hall in Liangzhou City, has been hung with white silk, but I don't believe she really-"
"Whether it's or not, I'll keep looking; You can't change anything, whether it's or not. Do your part, and you'll be fine. Xia Yichen's tone returned to seriousness, but he couldn't see his expression.
"Whether it's or not, I really can't do anything," Ding Juwen shook his head, "but I will always remember what she made me understand." ”
Xia Yichen looked at Ding Juwen's departing back, and his peach blossom eyes gradually narrowed.
Until he left Yuangu County on the second day, Xining did not show the slightest flaw. But because of Xia Yichen's series of suspicious tentative actions, Xi Ning didn't dare to do anything to help him treat, otherwise wouldn't it be equivalent to admitting it?
As a result, Xi Ning, who was sitting in the carriage, became more and more distressed that he didn't know where to start.
In the current situation, no matter what you do, it is suspicious.
Xia Yichen, what do you want to do!
It's uncomfortable to be held back like this! Even if she was still a clone at that time, she didn't seem to be blocked in the road like this, and there was no way at all.
The road in Minxian County was a bit rough, and the carriage took a long time to reach the place where it stayed.
Xi Ning watched the maids tidy up the house, and his mind turned again: in the past few days, except for meeting Ding Juwen on the first day, there was nothing unusual about the rest of the time. Today, when she returned to her original route, she felt much more at ease.
However, is Xia Yichen's incident really a coincidence?
Xi Ning caressed his heart and breathed a long sigh of relief: How could he recognize it? Even the age and height are completely different, how can they recognize it, and Hua Xu didn't reveal anything about Feng Lin at all.
Since it was just a coincidence, she had to start working on the healing thing.
What kind of approach should be used?
She turned the bracelet on her wrist and saw the mark of a carmine flapping wing on her left wrist instead of a butterfly, and had a new idea - in the world where magic was banned, poison was a wonderful choice!
Xi Ning slowly hooked the corners of her lips.
Not long after, Qingying was called by her and instructed: "Put this packet of medicinal powder in the people who guard the room of King Yu's room, as well as the diet of King Yu's son." In addition, there are a lot of dark people in the Yu Dynasty, so you'd better find out. ”
Qingying took the medicine powder: "We are very good at finding people, as long as we use perception techniques, we can do it, but what does Your Highness want to do?" ”
"Don't worry, I'm measured, I don't want to take revenge on King Yu or anything like that," Xi Ning sighed and shook his head, "I want to help him." "If these active methods don't work, then you can only come directly, let him think it's a gift from God, and let him be cured.
Otherwise, according to Xia Yichen's current appearance, I am afraid that until the capital Jianye, he will not be able to achieve the goal of curing his hand.
Let her be Santa Claus for once.
"Brother, you should pay attention to our defense tonight, not only us, but also the prince of Yu." The black-clothed and masked man at the door of the Xining Courtyard said in a low voice.
"I'll pay attention, although I think you're so weird, but," Xu Ziyu shook his head helplessly, "Since you have decided, you have your own reasons, don't worry." ”
Xi Ning bowed: "Well, I'll be back in an hour at most, if unfortunately he still finds out...... I'll find a way to get out. ”
The black shadow sprang out without looking back.
The moonlight was hazy, Xia Yichen's room, Xi Ning walked over with light steps. She looked at the familiar faces on the bed with her eyes closed, a little emotional, but helpless. She took his left hand out from under the quilt.
His hands were slender, but they were a little cold, a little pale in the moonlight, but not weak.
Xi Ning sighed silently, the pale yellow light of his right hand was soft and slow, trying to find his broken veins.
It's just that before he can figure it out, the person on the bed suddenly jumps up.
Xi Ning was very surprised-didn't Qingying say it well, why, did Xia Yichen still have a hand?
She immediately retreated and used her light shield to protect herself, but she only saw Xia Yichen standing in front of the bed in loose white clothes, with no intention of attacking.
Xi Ning frowned in astonishment.
Xia Yichen's peach blossom eyes opened slightly, and he looked at Xi Ning quietly, looking at the clear eyes that were not covered by the black cloth.
Xi Ning took the light shield and wanted to leave, but who knew that there was also movement outside the road-
He was prepared, sure enough!
"Do you know," Xia Yichen looked at Xi Ning's clear eyes in a daze, and slowly walked over, "You like this, let me be even more sure, affirm everything I hope ......"
Xi Ning did not speak.
She was tempted to say that your hopes would eventually turn into disappointment; I'd love to say that your hopes aren't real; I'd love to say that she's not an ugly.
But she can't say anything, she doesn't want to expose her identity at all, at least she doesn't want to take the initiative to expose it, let alone expose her identity as an ugly person.
Therefore, her gaze was slightly downcast, a little evasive.
But Xia Yichen didn't dodge, his loose black hair and loose white clothes rose slightly with the wind, and under the moonlight at this time, he was as handsome as a carving, which really met the evaluation of the jade-faced Hades - like a very beautiful ghost.
Xi Ning stepped back a little fearfully, but after only a few steps, she could not retreat, and behind her was the cold wall.
"Hey," Xia Yichen bowed his head a little frustratedly, "I've been waiting for you to tell me yourself, but unfortunately, I've waited too long." You're still not going to tell me yourself, are you? ”
Xi Ning gasped uncontrollably - really, has it been discovered?
The slender hand brushed the black cloth off her face very quickly, and also brushed her long hair.
In an instant, under the moonlight of the alluring city, a peerless face with a somewhat helpless expression, but it remained silent.
But Xi Ning really didn't know what to say. Maybe he was just not sure, just suspicious, if she spoke, wouldn't she sit down? If she denies it and pretends to be ignorant, she may be able to escape.
"Why are you running away?" It's just that Xia Yichen, who has always been ruthless, doesn't allow her to escape. He's going to force her tonight, face it! (To be continued......)
