Chapter 17 Xiang Yu Jiao
"Is it really good to give the gold medal to those people?" Outside the servant's humble house, Xinggu said to Uncle Xiang.
"Don't be so indecisive." Uncle Xiang's tone was firm, "The matter has come to this point, and we have got the money we wanted, so don't mention it again." β
The two old men stepped into the main hall with a heavy and apprehensive heart.
Seeing Hua Yan sitting precariously, the two knelt on the ground with a "plop".
Seeing this, Hua Yan frowned: "What are you doing here?" β
"Huada, my husband and wife have served in Washington all their lives, and we really don't want to see our daughter Yu Ji locked up in a dungeon...... " Aunt Xing said sadly, tears streaming down her face.
"Huada, please be kind to you!" Uncle Xiang said haggardly, kowtowing with Aunt Xing.
Huada stared at them solemnly, his lips twitching with anger.
Kneeling and kowtowing several times, seeing that Hua Daren was unmoved, Uncle Xiang had no choice but to take out the silver taels from his arms, and his hands trembled and offered: "We tried our best to get the silver, for the sake of our age, everything is for the sake of Yu Ji, please be gracious to Hua Daren!" β
Hua Yan took the heavy bag and opened it to see that it was really white silver. He said with a straight face: "You ...... Where did this come from? β
Uncle Xiang trembled with fright, and he didn't dare to hide anything in the face of his master, so he told Hua Yan what had happened.
"Gold Medal...... Jin Lu ...... A girl who looks alike? Hua Yan weighed the silver bag in his hand and whispered to himself.
At this time, Hua Xinyu entered the main hall and sat silently on the chair beside Hua Yan, without looking at him much. Xing Gu, who was kneeling on the ground, stole a glimpse of Mrs. Hua's snow-white neck and chest with spotted kiss marks, and immediately lowered her eyelids, stared at the floor, and didn't dare to raise her head for anything.
Who were the Fahrenheitsβthey were keenly aware of the action, but neither of them spoke. Mrs. Hua wrapped the silk scarf in her hand around her neck, not paying much attention to it, but still hiding the obvious dark marks; And Hua Yan was very proud in his heart, and it took a lot of effort to hold back his laughter.
Although Hua Yan and Hua Xin are a couple, the estrangement between the two is like an invisible iron curtain, and there will never be a time when their hearts will be completely united.
Basically anyone can see this.
"I said, everyone is begging you like this, why don't you hurry up and release the fragrant girl?" Although Hua Xinyu had seen her husband punish the servant many times, she still couldn't bear to see this scene, so she spoke first with a slightly reproachful voice, "What did the girl do wrong?" β
"That's it," Hua Yan relaxed, "if you two can find the girl who took the gold medal and looks similar to Yu Ji, bring her in, and let Yu Ji go after that, it's still possible." β
Uncle Xiang and Aunt Xing saw that there was still a glimmer of hope for their master to rescue their daughter, so they kowtowed heavily: "Thank you, Lord Hua!" Thank you! β
Finally, Uncle Xiang raised his head and said in a trembling voice: "Master Hua, I won't tell you, that girl and the two young men beside her are also looking for a way to Washington. Perhaps, they want to take the initiative to come to Washington, D.C. too! β
"Oh?" Hua Yan raised his eyebrows, "That's interesting." He raised his hand and stroked his chin, as if calculating something.
Hua Xinfei knew that this was his action when he was playing tricks. Although she didn't know a thing or two about the matter herself, she guessed that there must be some plot and story that attracted Hua Yan and made him curious.
"Stand down. When that girl appears, I'll naturally put the incense on it. Hua Yan was silent for a moment and said, "However, don't tell your mother about this." I don't want to alarm them until I find out. β
Dungeon.
Xiang Yu's hands were heavily locked with iron, her hair was messy, and her eyes were blank.
She had no idea where she had offended Hua Daren and made him lock herself in a dungeon.
"Beautiful embryos." The picture of her birthday last year came to her mind - Hua Yan had said publicly at that time, "Yu Ji has now become a girl with a water spirit." β
At that time, even Miss Taiyu of the Hua family showed hostility towards her, but probably felt that she was just a subordinate, and she was not competitive or a threat after all, so she didn't stop later.
She had witnessed Miss Taiyu losing her temper in her room and hating Hua Xin.
At that time, she was very young, but she was just a very ordinary subordinate, doing the rough work of a maid and serving Miss Tai. Raised by Uncle Xiang and Aunt Xing, she is not like Miss Tai, who lives in hatred all day long.
"Daddy! Mother! When Xiang Yuji saw her father and mother coming from the other end, a bright smile appeared on her face, which warmed the two gray-haired old men like the sun.
"Yu Ji, are you okay?" Uncle Xiang saw that his daughter was still so energetic, and he finally smiled when he was sad.
Xing Gu stared at her daughter tightly, although she didn't speak, but muttered in her heart: Yu Ji and the girl who wanted the gold medal are not only "a little similar", but obviously "too similar"!
"Mother, what's wrong with you?" Xiang Yu looked at the apricot aunt who was speechless.
"Nothing. Ah, we have sold your gold medal, and the money in exchange for it has been given to Huada people. Although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of Huada people...... But Huada said, if the girl who bought the gold medal comes to Washington, she will let you go......" Xinggu said slowly, "But Yu Ji, the less you know the specific details, the better." This thing can be dangerous......"
Red Moon City.
Market.
"If it's really the enemy of the Qilin Palace, then we have to be prepared." Wu Tianxiao's hand lightly touched the sword, and his face was expressionless.
Jin Jiaoqing's eyes flowed: "If it is really my sister Jin Lu, it would be great." β
"Okay?" Wu Tianjun's expression was indifferent, and his voice was full of doubts, "Even if she is really alive, it was the Hua family who raised her single-handedly." She must be from the Hua family now. β
Gillian showed a look of jealousy and fell silent.
"With this gold medal, my intuition tells me that she is my sister Jin Lu."
"Is it the gold medal of Washington Xiangyi?" The wind has been following them.
Suddenly, the sword suddenly came out of its sheath.
Wu Tianxiao clenched his sword, this man always made him vigilant.
"Tianxiao, are you overreacting?" The breeze blew and stirred the hair hanging down her chest, Jing Qiushui showed a faint smile, and her eyes shone with pure luster.
Her beauty overshadowed everything present.
The breath of Jing Qiushui indicates that it belongs to the kind of person who has a strong ability to feel and is more sensitive.
The rest of the people seemed to grasp the idea.
"Miss Jing, you seem to be the kind of person who is sad and sympathetic." Feng said with a smile.
"Oh?" Jing Qiushui is just a word.
"Qiushui, everything in the world is changeable, I'd rather overreact than let you get hurt." Wu Tianxiao said.
"The appearance of beautiful women has always been a joy here." Feng Ran smiled faintly.
"Tianxiao, you're worried about it too much." Qiushuiyun said lightly, "I am fully capable of taking care of myself." β
"This girl ......" Feng Yanran looked at Jin Jiao carefully, "and the Xiangyu of Washington...... It's just the same. β
Wu Tianjun's color changed suddenly: "The Washington woman is exactly the same as Gillian?" Isn't this the narrow road to the enemy? β
"The same eyebrows are clear, and even the expression is exactly the same." Even Feng Ran was stunned, and his expression was slightly stunned.
"Feng Gongzi, there are more people in the world who look alike." Jin Jiao was tentative, her eyes revealing vigilance.
"Yes, no, ah...... In fact, they look too similar, they are carved out of a mold, and if people in Washington see it, I'm afraid they won't be able to tell the difference. Feng Yanran seemed to think of something, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Cold sweat dripped from Wu Tianxiao's forehead, and she intuitively felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong.
"It was this Feng Gongzi who helped us find Washington." Jing Qiushui had a smile in his eyes, and his eyes were gentle.
"We all think that something will happen......" Wu Tianjun showed uncontrollable concern, "Jin Jiao is ...... by Washington"
"Nothing...... I'm fine. Jin Jiao said hurriedly.
"Miss Jin, be careful." Feng Ran reminded.
"Getting back to the point, Miss Jin, are you really the palace master of the Qilin Palace?" The wind is blowing in color.
"I'm the Jin Jiao of the Qilin Palace, that's right." Jin Jiao didn't intend to hide anything.
"In that case, you should know that the Hua family in Red Moon City has a deep grudge...... "Feng Yanran whispered to himself, "Even so, are you going to Washington?" β
"Do you recognize this gold medal?" Wu Tianjun handed out the gold medal to the wind.
Feng Yanran took it in his hand and looked at it, silent.
"This is the gold medal of Washington's Xiangyi." Feng Yanran finally said, "Golden girl...... If you have to go to the Hua family's mansion and be alone like this, no, even if it is the four of you together, you are still weak, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky. β
"Feng Gongzi is tall, fairy-like, and leisurely, but with all due respect, you are really worried about being superfluous." Jing Qiushui smiled, "We are not so easy to defeat. β
"Let's start with a fragrant tree that looks very similar to you." Wu Tianjun proposed.
"Xiang Yu?" Jin Jiao's eyes lit up, "I must see this person." β
Feng Yanran held a folding fan in his hand, lightly touched his face, and shook his head slightly, as if thinking about something.
Wu Tianxiao's face was grim, staring at Jing Qiushui directly, as if asking: What is the origin of this guy?
Jing Qiushui said to him: "Tianxiao, I also think that I should go to Washington with Gillian to have a look." β
"Even if it's really dangerous, with me, it's fine." Wu Tianjun said.
"Looks like you've made up your mind to go." Feng Yanran's face was serious.
