Chapter Twenty-Six: The Taiping Monkey Kui
Holding back the excitement in his heart, Xu asked cautiously: "You just gave it to me casually at that time, and said it was a small thing, so I didn't care too much, I didn't think it was Taiping Monkey Kui." ”
It's also that Xin Yan's appearance is too casual, which makes her think that it might be some gadgets, and she also lets people leave it in the warehouse at will......
Xin Yan said disapprerovantly: "It's really not a valuable thing, but this tea tastes pretty good, I just heard you mention it a while ago, so I thought I'd give it to you to taste." ”
Unexpectedly, Xin Yan remembered her unintentional words, and asked people to send them later.
Xu Shi was moved: "I said it casually that day, but I didn't expect you to remember it in my heart." ”
After that, they didn't talk about this topic anymore, but it was obvious that the two had a lot of enthusiasm, and Xu treated her sincerely.
As soon as Governor Chen entered the door, he saw this scene, and said with a smile: "What do you say, I'm so happy, I didn't even see it when I entered the door." ”
Seeing this, Xu got up to greet him, and said coquettishly: "Why did the master come over, didn't he go out early in the morning today?" ”
Didn't I just take care of it and go home, I heard that Miss Xin was here, so I rushed over. Governor Chen sat down on another stone chair.
Fortunately, the stone chair was covered with thick cushions, and it was not as cool as expected.
Xin Yan asked, "Governor Chen, but what is there to find me?" ”
He laughed, and then said: "There is indeed something, I just received the emperor's order, and I originally wanted to go to the house to look for you after returning to the house, but I never thought that you would come here today, so I simply came." ”
When Xu heard this, he hurriedly said, "But what did the saint say?" ”
Governor Chen nodded and said: "The emperor really wants to give a reward, but because the plague is very widely implicated, the emperor hates those officials very much, and ordered Ning Yuanhou to take the first step to escort the suspect back to Beijing, originally I wanted to go with me, but this northern land has just experienced the plague, the loss is too large, and the personnel are insufficient, so I want to take care of it, and when it is stable, I will go to Gyeonggi to receive a reward." ”
Xu was very happy, and asked instead: "Did the emperor say how to reward Xin Yan?" ”
Governor Chen said: "Naturally, I want to be rewarded, the emperor said that he would reward her well, no, let her leave for Gyeonggi immediately, to meet her in person." ”
Xu was surprised, he thought that Emperor Chengwu would issue a reward at most, but he didn't expect to meet him in person, which was a supreme honor.
was happy for Xin Yan, but when he thought of the situation in Gyeonggi, he didn't worry about it.
"The situation in Gyeonggi today is ...... If Xin Yan goes, nothing will happen. ”
Governor Chen knew what she was worried about, and comforted: "You think too much, the emperor just wants to meet Miss Xin, and she has nothing to do with the people in Gyeonggi, so there will be nothing wrong." ”
Saying that he felt a little thirsty, he drank it from Xu's teacup, feeling that his throat was much easier, and his mouth was not astringent, thinking that this tea was good, and then he said again:
"Besides, it is also good for Miss Xin to meet the emperor, it will be easy for her to kiss in the future, and it will be more protective for her."
Xu Shi was still immersed in the heartache of the Taiping Monkey Kui who drank it in one gulp, and secretly decided that he would talk about him in the future, such a violent celestial thing!
Xin Yan looked at them and looked at me, and her heart was moved, knowing that what they said was indeed for her good
For entering Beijing, she had already guessed.
It's better to say that she had this plan early in the morning, her bureau has been laid out, and she is waiting for them next.
However, in more than two months, Yancheng has experienced great ups and downs. I recall that when the plague spread, the people were terrified, the gates were closed, and some people did not even dare to go out of the gates, and they were terrified all day long.
Nowadays, Yancheng has returned to the former prosperity and liveliness, the sound of street vendors is endless, the shops on both sides of the street are lined up, the afterglow of twilight is sprinkled on the red bricks and green tiles on both sides, the pavilions are uneven, and the people on the pavilion talk freely, all exuding a thick fireworks.
Xu Shi took Xin Yan's hand and couldn't bear to let go, and said reluctantly: "I still have a lot of things to talk to you about, and I haven't told you a lot of things in my heart. ”
Xin Yan shook her hand back, patted it, and soothed: "It's not like I'm not coming back, if Mrs. misses me, you can write me a letter, this person comes and goes, Mrs. don't cry." ”
The delicate words dissipated the sorrow on Xu's face, and he pretended to be angry and said: "You have no conscience, I can't bear it so much, but you are so chic, it's really disappointing to me." I shouldn't have thought of you. ”
Xin Yan forgive: "Yes, I don't know what to do, Mrs. is planning for me like this, and I still make fun of Mrs., I should be punished." ”
Pretending to think about it, he said, "Then punish me, and when I come back, I will tell you that Gyeonggi is delicious and fun to bring back to my wife, how about it?" ”
Xu Shi looked at her and still had a heart, so he gave up: "What you said makes me very serious." Forget it, for your sake, I won't bother with you. Remember what I said, Gyeonggi is no better than Yeonseong, and you have to be more careful there, although I know you know you know it, but you can't help but worry. ”
Xin Yan smiled and responded: "I know, don't worry, madam." It's not too early, and it's time for us to go. ”
Farewell Xin Yan, Xu sighed again and again at the door, and Governor Chen looked at her, and felt that she was like this, and outsiders might think that she was going to some Longtan tiger's den.
Shaking his head, he said, "It's not like she won't come back, why are you so sad." ”
glared at him, and said unhappily: "I don't think Gyeonggi will be a good place, besides, I finally met a sister who agrees, who do I say in my heart when she leaves." ”
Governor Chen couldn't help but support his forehead: "You think well, don't look at your age." How old is Miss Xin, you want her to be your sister, and you are not afraid of people laughing at it. If you want to find a companion, you can invite those ladies in the city to talk about it, no, no, it's not your master. ”
Xu retorted: "It's not that you don't know the faces of those ladies, all of them are born with gossip hearts, if I really say something to them, believe it or not, it will spread all over Yancheng the next day, and then you will have no face." ”
Seeing his high-hanging appearance again, he was angry: "Also, you are so busy every day, how dare I bother you, busy man!" ”
Governor Chen touched his nose and said with a weak heart: "Okay, it's because my husband doesn't understand, and I apologize for my husband." ”
Xu Shi rolled his eyes and ignored him anymore: "Go." ”
The carriage drove slowly, leaving two marks under its feet, and the sound was monotonous and lonely, and the two horses pulling the carriage in front of them were sturdy and steady, and they looked like good horses.
The horse's hooves trample sound, corresponding to each other in the afterglow, so beautiful.
Suddenly, there was a howling wind, and then a skeleton was shot out of the carriage, and the horses were startled and barked.
When the black-clothed men in the forest got the message, they rushed out one after another, and the people who went straight to the carriage also had swords in their hands, suggesting a bloody storm.
One of the men in black swung a sharp knife in his hand and split the ornate carriage in two, sawdust flying like a broken rag doll, tearing to pieces.
Then, the next moment, the man in black was shocked that the carriage was empty, and everyone looked at each other, secretly saying that it was not good in their hearts.
All of this was in the eyes of Xin Yan and the others not far away, she raised her slender right hand and ordered, and the people behind her were like ghosts, swarming out.
The corners of her mouth rose slightly, and there was a sneer in her eyes.
The man in black on the other side knew that he had fallen into the trap at this time, but he had been surrounded.
Fight hard, but can't do it.
I wondered in my heart, didn't I say that the person on this trip was a weak woman who was powerless, how could there be so many masters.
However, soon he didn't have the heart to think about this, and the opponent's knife was fatal, and he hit him directly to the vital point again and again, and gradually fell behind.
Blood was dripping, the air was filled with the smell of rust, and the rivers were red with blood, more and more, bigger and bigger.
More and more people fell, and with a pop, a man in black looked at his chest in a daze, where a big hole had been opened.
Dark red blood gushed out, his face was full of disbelief, and a sentence flashed in his mind: When this matter is over, let the brothers relax, eat and drink well.
He also planned that at the end of the trip, he was going to go to the small restaurant to listen to the music, and to order Xiaoyu's card in Hualou, he had coveted her for a long time, thinking of her smooth little face, he felt that his body was slowly losing strength, until he died, what he saw on his face was Xiaoyu waving to him and smiling at him.
Large patches of blood flowed into the cracks in the stones, and after a while they overflowed and became small pits, and slowly, the small pits merged together and joined together into puddles, but this was caused by blood......
The slaughter was soon over, a one-sided victory ended, and the men in black were wiped out, lying in a pit of blood.
The stone was escorted forward and knelt on the ground.
Yes, all the men in black are dead, except him.
He now understood that the carriage was a trap, a trap to lure them.
led more than a dozen people to come fiercely, thinking that what was waiting was a cowering sheep, but he never thought that it was a bloodthirsty wolf.
The body was tied, the head was pressed, and only a pair of brocade silk shoes could be seen, which were women's shoes, spotless, as if they should not appear in this dirty place, and should be stepped on on a soft and delicate blanket, carefully cared for.
Just thinking about it, a cold voice came from above: "You can't wait to make a move, how many miles have you been out of the city gate?" I can't bear it. ”
There seemed to be regret in her words, but her tone was like mockery.
The stone felt the pressure on his head disappear, and then slowly looked up.
The woman's face was beautiful and refined, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, and at first glance she looked like a lady, but her eyes flashed with a fierce gaze, like a wolf, staring closely at her prey.
And he is a fish on the chopping board without the power to resist.
A vicious chill arose, even more terrifying than the tragic fight just now, obviously a beautiful and refined woman, but in his eyes at this moment, she was indeed the king of Hades who was in charge of life and death......
