Chapter 45: Accidents
"Master, do you want to go back?" Gong Wuming asked.
The Lake Center Pavilion is located in the West Market, a short walk from her land house.
"Send someone to take care of Grandma Sun." She walked out without hesitation, and Gong Wuming followed silently.
After getting into the carriage, she rested with her hands on her forehead and closed her eyes.
The incense in the car is fragrant, in the haze, she is like a fairy in the painting, considerable, unapproachable.
"Bang"
The sound of swords colliding.
Gong Wuming was driving the car while fighting with the gangsters.
Why is Gong Wu's martial arts unparalleled in the world, but he only fights with the villain, and does not take his life?
The reason is that a few days ago, Lu Xihe specially ordered him not to kill innocents indiscriminately when he appeared as a member of the Lu Zhai's family.
The idiot who fights him now is nothing more than three-legged cat kung fu.
It should be a robber.
"Get out of the way! I want to see her! β
A cold light flashed in his eyes, and he was about to slash it with his palm.
Lu Xihe's voice sounded lazily: "Bring her in." β
Gong Wufang grabbed the man's neck, and after a few strokes, he had already tied the person tightly and stuffed him into the carriage.
The man fell the blanket.
The moment their eyes met, one was even more hateful, and the other was quite surprised.
"It's you." Lu Xihe's tone was calm, but the listener seemed to want to eat her alive.
"It's all you! You are the one who ruined our family! I'll kill you! β
The man looked unfamiliar, but his eyes were familiar.
She is Ning Lan, the lord of Ankang County.
The daughter of the deposed King Qing, the noble lord who used to be empty-eyed, has now changed her face and has been reduced to a commoner with nothing.
"What shall I call you? County Lord, or what? β
"Shut up!"
Lu Xihe didn't expect that King Qing committed the crime of rebellion, and his concubine actually changed her appearance and survived.
"Do you hate me?" She asked.
"Of course! I can't wait to peel you off! Drink your blood! β
Lu Xihe didn't know what to say about Ning Lan, since he knew what she had done, he dared to come alone. Are you too lucky?
"You have the right to hate me. But Ning Lan, do you know what your father did? He secretly fabricated military-made weapons and colluded with people of unknown origin in an attempt to provoke civil unrest that shook the light. This is rebellion, an unpardonable sin. She slowly squatted down, picked up Ning Lan's chin with one hand, and said in a low voice: "I don't know who is so capable of changing your face, but I tell you, since you escaped by luck, don't appear in the capital." I can recognize you, and so can others. They won't be as patient as I am to send you to the government, but it's a great credit. β
Ning Lan turned her face away, knowing in her heart that what Lu Xihe said was right.
She came rashly, risking her life.
She is the only one left in the family, and she wants to live well. But she was so unwilling, why could this person be indifferent?
"Why didn't you send me to the government?"
Lu Xihe let go of her, sat down on the seat, and wiped his hands with a handkerchief.
"I'm happy to buy a lot of money. But if you want to, I can send you in right now. Her words caused Ning Lan to grit her teeth.
"You vicious woman, I've never seen someone as brazen as you!"
Lu Xihe laughed back: "I haven't said anything yet, the county lord can't stand it?" With such a temperament, if you are sent to the government, you may be able to live longer. β
"Don't! Don't..."Ning Lan's voice became quieter and quieter.
"Yes. But you have a few questions to answer me. β
"Ask."
Lu Xihe nodded with satisfaction, "Who is there around King Qing to give him advice?" β
Ning Lan said impatiently, "What I know is dead. β
"Is there, then, a man of great looks who loves purple?"
Ning Lan recalled for a long time and hesitated: "I heard my father mention it before, it seems to be called Ziyangjun." Daddy once praised him for being extremely smart and a rare talent. β
Lu Xihe scoffed, Ziyang Jun's words and deeds were out of common courtesy, and he was not a good talent. King Qing will do something rebellious, I'm afraid it will be inseparable from Ziyang Jun's bewitchment.
"What else?"
Ning Lan hesitated: "He seems to be an orphan and has no friends. I had a very bad impression of him, and once I saw him feed the fish because of a bird flying in front of him, and his eyes were terrible, and the bird was also pitiful, and he had to cut off his head after being beaten. β
"Does he have a permanent home?"
Ning Lan shook her head, Ziyangjun's whereabouts were unpredictable, "I guess, maybe he doesn't even have the same face." β
"You mean, he doesn't show his true face?" It's hard to do now, the world is so big, how to find a person who even looks fake?
Seeing that she was silent, Ning Lan said fiercely: "Don't think I'll let you go, when I find Ziyangjun, I'll settle accounts with you slowly!" β
Lu Xihe smiled disdainfully: "Okay, I'll wait for you." Don't let me down. β
said that the palace came in without a life.
Gong Wuming bent down and got into the carriage, immediately understood what Lu Xihe meant, and took out a golden vial from his arms.
"Although your appearance has changed, your voice, and the way you give people, cannot change for a while. I can see you, and so can they. This is a special pill, taken one every three days, that can help you maintain false sound. As for the rest, bless yourselves. Lu Xihe closed her eyes, she was very tired and needed a good night's rest.
Ning Lan clenched the medicine bottle in her hand, seeing that Gong Wuxian had left, "You would be so kind?" β
"Believe it or not." She didn't even look at Ning Lan.
Ning Lan accepted the medicine bottle in disbelief, with a complicated expression, "Hmph, I believe you once." I'll find a way to let you know if there's news. β
What awaited was deathly silence.
Ning Lan quickly slipped out of the carriage and blended into the vast night.
Gong Wuming drove the car slowly and leisurely, only to hear the gentle rhythmic breathing of the woman in the carriage.
He focused and headed in the direction of the landing house.
Taking advantage of this time of recuperation, Lu Xihe planned to rest in his house.
It coincided with the winter solstice, and a light snow fell in the capital.
"It's cold, it's cold." Pothos rubbed her hands and lifted the curtain, her face flushed from the cold, "Miss, it's snowing outside." It starts in the morning, and I don't know when it will stop. β
Accustomed to the chatter of pothos, Lu Xihe closed the scroll and got off the couch.
Seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, Lu Luo hurriedly went to fetch a goose white coat and surrounded her, "Why is Miss dressed so thinly, it must be that group of subordinates are lazy again!" β
It has nothing to do with the subordinates.
She got up early and wanted to clear her thoughts, but she was disturbed by the sound of her subordinates cleaning up, so she sent them all out.
Green Pothos knew that she liked to be quiet, so she guessed a little, so she said, "If Miss thinks they are annoying, it will be better to drive them out of the house." The young lady's body is not yet well, but she must not catch a cold. β
"Today is the winter solstice." She leaned against the door frame, her little face slightly powdered, and she lost the alienation that rejected people.
"Yes, Miss, the kitchen has prepared a lot of delicious food today!" Pothos said excitedly.
"You know how to eat." Lu Xihe's tone was light, but it was a little more cordial than usual.
"Hee-hee-hee, miss, it's the winter solstice today, and according to custom, you should eat dumplings with your family. The slave has no family, only a young lady, so she can't think about dumplings. Green pothos smiled.
In the vast white snow, a cyan figure gradually walked towards them.
"Miss, the man is back." There was snow on Gong Wuming's head and clothes, as if he didn't see it.
The green pothos was about to step forward, thinking that Lu Xihe was still beside him, and the foot that stepped out was taken back.
"Let him come to me." Lu Xihe turned his head and said to the pothos again, "Go ahead." β
The pothos got his life, happily walked in front of Gong Wusheng, and stood on tiptoe to pat off the snowflakes on his body for him.
Gong Wuming straightened his body, and when he saw the laborious appearance of the pothos, he leaned over slightly.
The corners of Lu Xihe's mouth, who glimpsed these situations, raised slightly, is this the 10,000-year-old iron tree blooming?
There was a commotion at the gate of the courtyard, "I'm a famous one..."
Gong Wusheng was ahead of others, strode into the courtyard, and saw his brother and a little maid in the courtyard together, and he was immediately happy.
When he saw Lu Xihe, he sighed in his heart that the master was the most beautiful woman in the world, and he smiled with a spring breeze, "I've seen the master." β
Lu Xihe's eyes were slightly gloomy, "Come in." β
Gong Wuwu restrained his cynical expression and walked in with her.
"Master, the matter of Qingguo has come to an end. It's justβ" He didn't know whether to say that or not.
"Just what?"
"The subordinates got the news that Fusang had the intention of showing goodwill, and the mission would set off soon after. masters, they are likely to be with Shake Light and kiss. As one of Lu Xihe's most powerful subordinates, Gong Wuwu naturally knew what was going on between her and the King of Chu.
Originally, it was a sure thing, but now it's good, the prince of Fusang mainly had to marry the king of Chu, and the emperor agreed to it for the sake of harmony. And what about the master?
With the nature of the master, he will never share a man with other people.
I hope that the king of Chu is a little self-aware, a person like the master, he is not worthy of it in the first place, if he dares to abandon it from the beginning...
Lu Xihe didn't know what Gong Wuwu was thinking, "Do you know who is coming?" β
"I don't know the specifics, I only know that it is a prince and a princess."
Lu Xihe was silent for a moment, "Don't pay attention to them, we just need to do our part." Thou art tired from your journey, go down and rest. β
"Yes." He withdrew.
After Gong Wuwu went out, her eyebrows frowned slightly, it was Fusang again, it was really a dog skin plaster that couldn't be shaken off!
"Miss?" Luluo asked tentatively, "The fourth young lady of the Lu family is here, do you want to see the young lady?" β
Lu Xihe sighed, it was not easy to drive her back on this kind of day, "Please come in." β
The sound of shoes "squeaking" and "squeaking" on the snow stirred Lu Xihe's heart all the time.
Lu Rongwan walked into the house calmly, and when she saw Lu Xihe with her back to her, thousands of emotions came to her heart.
These days as a female official must have been very hard.
Lu Rongwan thought about it and opened her mouth to call: "Fifth sister, are you better?" β
Lu Xihe got up when he heard the sound, "It's not in the way, it's just exaggerated by outsiders." β
The two sat down at the round table, and Lu Rongwan motioned to the maid to open the box, "Today is the winter solstice, if you don't go home, I will send it to you." β
