Chapter 14: The jade face is deceitful
At night, the hour has passed, the moon is hidden and the stars are sinking, and the mountains and forests are quiet.
This "quiet garden" in the suburbs is already deep and quiet, and in the middle of the night, it looks even more gloomy.
In the east wing, Second Young Master Yue was alone in the house, sleeping deeply.
"Long clear, short clear, who cares about people leaving hatred......"
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of singing and singing, as if he had woken up from a dream just before his bed.
Sleepy-eyed and hazy, there was no one, and when he was about to close his eyes and continue to sleep, he suddenly saw a person flash out behind the screen, all over his body, even his face was dark and gloomy, and he was staring at himself with a pair of miserable white eyes.
He was so taken aback that he thought he was still awake from his dream, so he closed his eyes and waited to open them to see again.
Fluttering, the man disappeared into the screen, and in the blink of an eye, he floated out from the other end of the screen, and his face became pale again, revealing the cold air of the forest, and he was looking at himself with a ghostly atmosphere.
Yue Ershao shuddered, completely woke up, and when he habitually reached out to the pillow and took out the dagger, the man suddenly turned around and floated in front of him again, his face became pale and delicate, isn't it his brother?
Yue Ershao's sword-wielding hand stopped in mid-air, and he exclaimed in a scream, "Brother, why are you here?" You, can you walk? ”
But the man didn't answer, and saw that Young Master Yue's left hand with the flying knife stopped in mid-air, and suddenly flicked his hand, and Young Master Yue's flying knife flew out immediately, and instead of shooting at the person opposite, it fell straight down, hitting his own left calf, not into the hilt.
At this time, Yue Ershao paid all his attention to the brother in front of him, he didn't feel pain, he raised his eyes to look at his brother in surprise, and just wanted to ask him why he wanted to hurt himself, but the person standing in front of him was not his brother at all!
The person in front of him had slender eyebrows, gentle and elegant, and his orchid fingers were wrapped around his eyebrows, looking at him extremely softly.
Isn't this exactly what I hate! Did it hurt Qin Huaiyu, who couldn't walk his brother, again?
Trance: He, how could he be here, he wasn't ......
Yue Ershao was flustered for a while, in a trance, true or false, sluggish, his whole body was weak, he forgot the pain, and he forgot to call for help.
"Even you, dare to kidnap me, you are really looking for death, saying, who is the master of you?" Qin Huaiyu in front of him had a soft face and asked strangely.
Although Yue Ershao was stunned, the little consciousness that remained told him that this was not the real Qin Huaiyu, he couldn't say it, he must not tell the truth, otherwise......
As soon as he thought of the consequences, a stronger sense of fear struck, and he trembled involuntarily, calmed down slightly, and replied tremblingly: "I don't understand what you're saying!" Aren't you just right here? ”
"I'm really looking for death!" In a cold tone, with two fingers and a backhand, he pulled the dagger straight out of Yue Ershao's thigh and put it on his neck.
Originally, the knife was inserted into the wound, but it was okay that it was not pulled out, but when it was pulled out, the blood flowed immediately, and the pain was more intense.
Yue Ershao was so painful that he just wanted to scream, but the dagger was then put on his neck, so frightened that he quickly closed his mouth.
If the knife is not treated in time, it is likely that you will die from excessive blood loss.
In addition, the knife holder is on the neck, and it will be gently slashed through the neck at any time, which is even more useless.
Seeing that death is on the verge of death, Yue Ershao will always tell the truth, right?
However, he closed his eyes, knocked his upper teeth against his lower teeth, and said tremblingly: "Even if you kill me, I don't know!" ”
Ordinary people, if they are first frightened to death by a strange scene, and then face the threat of death, in this situation, the defense line in their hearts has already been completely broken, and they will definitely confide in the truth.
And although this Yue Ershao was extremely scared, he still insisted that he didn't know, he hadn't done it, which was unexpected by the people in front of him.
Seeing that Yue Ershao's injuries were bleeding like an infusion, the entire couch was drenched in blood, if he was not treated, I am afraid that his life would be in danger.
The man had no intention of killing him, so he sneered, turned around and floated out.
When he went out, he waved his sleeves, and the makeup on his face was easy to remove, revealing a jade-like face, and he smiled evilly, and quickly disappeared in the night.
Yue Er rarely saw that he had no shadow, and his nervous nerves relaxed, but the severe pain and mental turmoil made him extremely uneasy, so he screamed one after another, "Someone! Come on! ”
The terrible screams alarmed everyone, the lanterns were lit one by one, and the doorway was filled with shouts and noises.
After he calmed down and woke up from his semi-comatose state, he looked at the person in front of him cautiously.
The man in front of him was looking at him with concern.
Medium-sized, with good facial features, not angry but self-assured, it is estimated that he heard Yue Ershao's screams, and he didn't have time to get dressed, so he rushed over directly in a white undershirt.
"Uncle, I'...... Ah! As soon as he tried to speak, his body trembled, and the wound felt even more excruciatingly painful.
The latter had already seen his wounds, and was heartbroken, and said to him: "Don't be afraid, the doctor will be here soon!" ”
After a period of chaos, Young Master Yue's wound was taken care of, and he could finally lean comfortably on the head of the bed, detailing the strange things he had just seen.
He is used to being powerful and blessed, but after he finished speaking, he still felt frightened and cold, and cold sweat broke out.
The man was very steady, and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, Sheng'er, maybe it's just a nightmare, how can there be unpredictable people in the world?" Calm your mind. ”
However, the pain of the wound and the fright of this night, how could Yue Ershao calm down? After hearing the middle-aged man's instructions, he still gritted his teeth, nodded, and closed his eyes to recuperate.
After the middle-aged man told him to cultivate well, he walked out.
With a solemn expression, he didn't go back to the bedroom, but walked straight to the study, and turned around and ordered, "Quickly invite Master Ming to come to the study." ”
As soon as I arrived at the study, Suzen sat down when there was a sound of footsteps at the door.
"Master Ming is coming so fast!" He looked to the doorway.
"The second young master is making such a big noise, and his subordinates have long known that the governor will definitely give orders, so they are waiting for the summons of the adults?" Master Ming said very shrewdly.
It turned out that this was a hidden mansion of Li Mingxuan, the governor of Shuzhou.
At this time, Master Li had just arrived in office for less than half a year, and although he was in a high position and had a high position, he knew in his heart that if he was not careful, he would cause trouble, so he had to be cautious in everything.
Master Li frowned, thinking of the trouble between the two brothers and the people in the opera troupe half a year ago, and his heart was heavy, "Master, just now Sheng'er said that he saw Qin Huaiyu in the opera troupe, which was the one who had a conflict with them last time and caused Heng'er to be unable to walk. ”
When the master heard this, he twisted his beard and muttered for a moment before he said: "Maybe the second young master has been thinking too much about it for the past half a year, and he is thinking about avenging his brother, and he is extremely resentful of that drama in his heart, so he has this nightmare." ”
"I also persuaded Sheng'er in this way just now, but his temperament, if it was just a nightmare, he wouldn't be afraid to be like that."
In fact, Master Li also knew in his heart that what Sheng'er said was very likely to be true, so he was worried and immediately summoned the master to discuss.
"My lord, my subordinates understand your concerns, you are just too worried about the two young masters, whether it is true or not, the subordinates will keep an eye on them and this house, and will never let a fly fly in again." The master has been following Master Li for a long time, and he understands his mind the most, so he pats his chest and assures.
"It's still the master who understands me best, and he knows the difficulties of this governor!" Master Li patted the master's shoulder trustingly.
"My lord, the two young masters also understand your hard work, and they won't blame you."
"If only they understood! At the beginning, when he had a grudge with the singer, and the boss couldn't walk until now, the governor had just arrived, and the situation was unstable, and he didn't want to cause more trouble, so he forced down this grievance. Moreover, for fear that Sheng'er would cause trouble again, he sent the two of them here to cultivate their self-cultivation, but even so, someone still came to him for trouble, you say, what should I do if I want this governor? Master Li slapped the table, angry.
As a governor, he can't do whatever he wants, and he is indignant to relieve the worries of his juniors.
"Lord Li is kind, knowing that the eldest prince is frail, and the second prince is reckless, with so many people protecting them, they will definitely be safe in the future!" Master Ming hurriedly comforted.
"Master knows, although the two of them call me uncle, but in fact they are my biological son, I am also sorry for their mother, my sister-in-law, so I have to rely on them and protect them in everything, so I feel at ease!" Master Li said with a sigh.
"Adults don't have to worry too much, it's just a bunch of servants, and the subordinates will send people to keep an eye on them to see what the situation is, if there is any trouble, the subordinates will deal with it properly."
Master Ming said this, and Master Li knew that he would definitely arrange everything properly, so he was relieved.
Master Ming was just about to retreat, but Master Li suddenly stopped him, thought about it, and said in a deep voice: "Forget it, at this time, it's better to have more than one thing than one less!" You can arrange more manpower to guard the Jingyuan, and don't let Sheng'er go out again. ”
After speaking, looking at the master's puzzled eyes, he added in a low voice: "It is rumored in Beijing that the little prince has come to Shuzhou." ”
"Did the adults say that the little prince of Mianfeng?" Master Ming was shocked.
"If it's not him, can there be a second person? Today, the son allowed him to lead the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but the three divisions were the only ones who looked ahead, and as soon as he set off to inspect, everyone in the states was in danger! ”
This is what Master Li is most afraid of, if he is a little careless, he will be caught by the master of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and this official uniform will be difficult to protect.
"Okay, my subordinates will arrange it!" Master Ming replied in a hurry, and hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
When Master Ming walked away, Master Li sat down heavily and slapped his forehead with his hand.
Inside the house, Master Li and Master Li were discussing intently, but they didn't know that outside the house, a person hung by the window, taking their words in his ears.
It wasn't until Master Ming was far away that he turned over onto the roof and drifted away.
At the end of the year, Xiao Yan returned to the inn.
After he returned to the room safely, he looked at Mu Qing's room next door, the candlelight was swaying as usual, the corners of his mouth were smiling, he stretched out his fingers, and counted down softly: "Three, two, one!" After the countdown, the candle flame in the next room went out.
Xiao Yan's satisfied kimono lay down.
Because, there is such a friend of Jin Lan, who is always silently waiting for him to return safely, can you not be satisfied?
Whether it was before or now, every time Xiao Yan goes out at night, no matter how late it is, there is a candle waiting for him when he comes back.
And every time, when he returned, knowing that he was safe, the candle flame would be extinguished.
Therefore, Xiao Yan, who has long been accustomed to waiting silently, is satisfied and sleeps with peace of mind.
