Chapter 44: Playing Chess

The young man looks ordinary, just fifteen or sixteen years old. Wearing a well-fitting white robe.

When Bai Jiaojiao heard this, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief, she just wanted water.

Then he smiled and said, "Of course, I can tell Childe where there is a water source." ”

"Can you get some water from the child's house now, let my son-in-law freshen up, and then the child will take us to find a water source?" As he spoke, the young man took out the water bag behind him and handed it to Bai Jiaojiao.

Fetching water at her house? Bai Jiaojiao is a little embarrassed, his family now drinks tea every day, what if the son tastes different from her water?

"Girl?" The young man looked at the little girl in front of him who hesitated for some reason, could it be that this little girl was still afraid of getting into trouble?

"The little girl doesn't need to worry, just fetch some water for my son-in-law to freshen up, we have no ill intentions." The boy's smile grew wider. This girl is really interesting, she looks like she is just a teenager, how can she have such an expression.

Bai Jiaojiao glanced at the water bag in his hand, and finally obediently took it and went to the house to help him fill it with water.

Since it's just a freshening up, raw water is fine, but if you really don't give him water, it may feel even more strange. That's it, that is, for washing, like the noble son in this young man's mouth, it is impossible to drink this water. What is she worried about!

"Thank you, girl." The young man took the water bag in Bai Jiaojiao's hand and thanked him with a smile.

Looking at the young man who turned to leave, Bai Jiaojiao just glanced at him twice.

The young man led the water bag to the carriage, bowed respectfully to the carriage, and said, "Young master, the water for washing has been borrowed. ”

"Yes." A slightly cold voice came from inside the carriage. Then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and a delicate-looking girl poked out of it, and the girl saw Lidong and smiled, "Xiao Dong'er, just give me the water bag." Childe is a little uncomfortable right now. Stand down. ”

Lidong didn't dare to have any opinion on the girl's title, respectfully handed the water bag to the girl, and bent down to retreat.

Bai Jiaojiao looked at the gorgeous carriage at the entrance of the village, the whole carriage was pulled by four tall horses, and the car was luxuriously decorated. The curtain that covered the door alone looked like fine silk. As she was staring at the door, she suddenly noticed that the curtain of the carriage had been lifted.

Bai Jiaojiao's body tensed violently, and she would see the son that the young man said in the future.

Who knew that it was a girl with a delicate face, the girl was wearing a tender yellow dress, and said something to the young man holding the water bag with a smile on her face, and the young man handed the water bag and respectfully retreated.

The girl took the water bag and stepped back, and the curtain of the car was closed.

Bai Jiaojiao couldn't tell the reason, but she felt a little disappointed in her heart, probably because she didn't see the appearance of the son.

In this era, the poor, the aristocracy, the hierarchy was very strict. The paupers could be killed and toyed with by the nobles at will. In this era, aristocracy, power, is everything.

Dong Mingxuan heard the movement and asked, "Wanniang, why is it so noisy outside?" ”

Tang didn't even raise his head, and said, "I don't know which noble person is passing by here and resting at the entrance of the village." ”

When Dong Mingxuan heard this, his heart suddenly pounded, "Do you know what you're doing here?" ”

"I don't know, that formation is not small, and it has never disturbed the people in the village, and Li Zheng just watched from a distance and never asked."

Dong Mingxuan's heart was originally hanging, but when he heard this, he also pressed it down slightly. Since it's so high-profile, it doesn't seem to be coming...

"Yiyi is still outside?"

"Well, the kid is playing, just take a look outside."

"I'll call her, don't rush."

"Don't go, it's just right, run out when you see the sky." When Tang heard Dong Mingxuan say this, he couldn't help but glare at Dong Mingxuan.

Dong Mingxuan's face was not there, but his heart was sweet and greasy, "I've been stuffy in bed for a few months, I feel pretty good, it's okay, I don't need it, I don't know how to walk when I'm better." ”

"You're poor." When Tang heard Dong Mingxuan say this, he no longer blocked it, and it was not far away, so let's go.

As soon as Dong Mingxuan came out, he saw the totem on the carriage, the totem representing identity and status, and his heart suddenly sounded, and there was a hint of panic, but he still came.

"Yiyi, go back to the house." Bai Jiaojiao, who was still staring at the carriage, was pulled by Dong Mingxuan beside him, "We have never seen these people, and we have never even seen such a pompous nobleman in the town." Let's go into the house, nobles kill people without blinking. Maybe we have inadvertently offended them. ”

Bai Jiaojiao nodded and replied softly, "Okay, Dad, let's go into the house." "I've seen enough. What these people are here to do has nothing to do with her.

"Today, don't go out again, and I don't know who those people are, so as not to cause trouble." Dong Mingxuan explained.

"Dad, what's wrong with you, you don't look good." Bai Jiaojiao saw that Dong Mingxuan's face was a little defeated, and hurriedly asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that after walking a few steps, I feel a little tightness in my chest, and it's not in the way." Dong Mingxuan explained.

"Do you need to call a doctor?" Bai Jiaojiao was a little worried, afraid that there was something important.

"No, don't tell your mother, otherwise she will worry again, these days, your mother has not rested well every night, let her stop worrying." Dong Mingxuan said that he is now very sorry for his late mother, and he must not let her be frightened anymore.

"Okay, Dad, then you must say something if you have something." Bai Jiaojiao admonished.

"Okay, I know the weight, let's get inside." Dong Mingxuan said with a smile.

When Bai Jiaojiao returned to the house, Dong Mingxuan pretended to be calm and closed the wooden door. Isolated from everything outside.

Bai Jiaojiao entered the house for half an hour when she heard a knock on the door.

After hesitating, he opened the wooden door, and saw the young man who had borrowed water just now standing outside the door.

Lidong thought about it sideways, anyway, they had no water, so it would be good to let this little boy take him to the water source. "I'm going to trouble the girl to take me to find a water source, I'm sorry for you."

The young man called a few more servants to carry the water, and then followed Bai Jiaojiao to the lake.

"The girl's style doesn't look like it belongs in the mountains? What is the girl's name? Lidong looked at the little girl walking in front of him and asked casually.

"My name is Bai Jiaojiao, what about you, son?"

"Yiyi, that's a good name. My name is Lidong, not a son, just call me Brother Dong. "Lidong is just a small guy.

After speaking, Bai Jiaojiao stopped answering.

The mountain road is winding, and the village is five miles from the water source, at the foot of the mountain. Fortunately, the weather was sunny these days, there was no rain, and the road surface was dry.

Bai Jiaojiao stepped on the crooked path, turned her head and glanced at Lidong behind her, followed by a few family members carrying buckets, hesitated, and then said: "Brother Dong, can you ask, what is your son-in-law doing in such a poor and remote place?" "She wouldn't believe they were there to play. But what would be there in this kind of place to attract that childe?

It can't be for the unseen position on the mountain.

Is such a big battle friend or foe? Will he be in danger?

Li Dong said with a smile: "My son-in-law is not in good health, and I heard that there is medicine that my son-in-law needs on this mountain." ”

Herb picker? Although it is summer now, but the Meiwu Mountain is so dangerous, where can the medicine be collected for them? It's just that such a huge team, isn't it too exaggerated? After saying that, such a rich and noble family didn't have any kind of medicinal materials, so they actually went to this place to dig up medicine.

Bai Jiaojiao knew that they were here to dig medicine, so she didn't ask.

Soon, he took them to the edge of the lake, watched them fill several buckets of water, and then returned with them in the same place.

"Thank you, girl." Lidong waved his hand at Bai Jiaojiao, and then returned to the camp with the family carrying the water.

Knowing that they are here to dig up medicine, there is no malicious intent.

"Childe, what do you see that little girl doing outside?" In the carriage, the young girl in yellow knelt in front of a handsome young man, and asked while beating her legs for the handsome young man.

The beautiful young man known as Childe was dressed in a white robe, lined with jade skin, with a faint pink lip color, and black hair scattered over his shoulders.

Her eyes were as black as ink, and she was looking at Bai Jiaojiao with a shining eye.

The man didn't speak, just looked out with a thoughtful look on his face, and didn't answer.

Seeing this, the woman was also very eye-catching and did not speak.

"Tell me to go down tomorrow on the mountain." The master said in a solemn tone.

When the woman heard this, she turned around and got out of the car.

"Childe has instructed, let them prepare, have a good rest tonight, and go up the mountain early tomorrow morning to find medicine." The woman was not verbose, and directly explained what the son ordered.

"Well, I'll let them know." Lidong's face became a little more serious, and with that, he turned around and walked towards the swordsmen and the family members.

The woman turned around and got into the car again, and saw that Childe had closed his eyes and rested. Then he knelt on the side, not speaking.

When the breeze came back in the evening, he didn't know what the people at the entrance of the village were doing.

"Brother, you're back." Bai Jiaojiao saw him come back and immediately got up from the stool.

"Yiyi, what's going on outside?" Qingfeng asked strangely.

Nothing like this has ever been seen in this village. Gorgeous carriages, tall and mighty swordsmen, and so many retinues.

"I don't know very well, they said they went up the mountain to dig medicine." Bai Jiaojiao didn't hide it, and told Qingfeng and them what she heard today.

"Digging medicine?" Qingfeng was stunned, and those people also came to rob their business? But I can't afford to provoke myself, but fortunately, I started early, and many places have been dug up by myself, "Forget it, those are aristocrats, we can't afford to provoke them." Just stay at home these days, don't run around. ”

"Well, that's what Dad said, let's not go out these days." Bai Jiaojiao said.

At this time, the mountains are not calm either.

"Master, someone has come over there, and now they have also arrived at the bottom of the mountain and set up a village in Qinghe Village." The wind bent the knee to report.

Because Lightning was sent to Mobei, this person is the second-in-command who receives Lightning.

Li Jingcheng sat at the tea table, playing with a fine white jade teacup in his hand. The teacup was crystal clear and very clear. Li Jingcheng didn't speak, still playing with the teacup in his hand, as if he hadn't heard it, his expression was also faint, and he didn't say anything.

Someone over there? Why not?

Li Jingcheng still didn't speak, but he said "heh". There was a slight contempt in his tone, but Li Jingcheng did have the capital of contempt.

Those people are not worth mentioning at all in Li Jingcheng's eyes, but the truth that the little ghosts are difficult is a headache.

"Do you know who you sent this time?" Li Jingcheng asked out loud.

"It's His Royal Highness who sent this time." Fengsheng's tone was flat, but when he talked about His Second Highness, his volume decreased slightly, and he secretly raised his eyes to look at Li Jingcheng's expression.

When Li Jingcheng heard this person's name, the white jade cup in his hand couldn't help but clench. Then he was relieved and returned to his original expressionless face.
