Chapter 157: Leave
Everyone knew that in such a dark night where they couldn't see their fingers, Yejun suddenly summoned the four of them definitely not to invite them to dinner and tea.
At this time, it was the unique weather of the desert outside the house, the wind and sand swept the sky and a wolf tooth moon hung in the air, and the cold wind blew on the body, making people can't help but tighten their sleeves.
The weather in Shuxia has always been like this, the scalp may be hot during the day, but at night it can freeze people into ice cubes.
Then he told me what had just happened, including the fact that he was saved by someone he didn't know.
When he said that he was saved by someone he didn't know, Yejun also looked out of the house attentively, and regretted not leaving her name behind.
After the words fell, the faces of the four of them were all pale, and they didn't know what to say, so they unconsciously clenched their fists.
After all, this is in the Shuxia Kingdom, Wu Wang Ye Tingchen is known to everyone, and even the Northern Desert Kingdom is terrified when he hears it, but now he is being hunted down and killed and has become the target of others.
"Publish the matter of my being hunted down, let the border army send out to investigate, and the four of you will secretly keep an eye on the barracks, and come back to report any trouble."
Wind, Flower, Snow, and Moon saw Ye Tingchen's order, and immediately took the order and went down to investigate.
Ye Jun watched straight as the four of them walked out of the house, slowly turning around and leaning on the table, with their backs to the door, looking at a huge map in front of them.
"Sure enough, there are bold characters, and you should know the consequences when it comes to me......"
Now Ye Tingchen is holding back the fire in his belly, and being hunted down and killed by himself is tantamount to a provocation, and it must have been provoked by his secret investigation of the disappearance of women.
Those people are doing things that hurt nature and reason, and now they dare to come out and rob and kill in the open, which is tantamount to challenging the royal authority.
Everything that happens in the world must have its cause and effect, everything seems to be a plate of scattered sand, and now Yejun is staring closely at the light in front of him.
It seems that all the things that have happened recently are gradually putting together a picture in this fluttering fire.
A plan that sent a chill down the spine came to mind and pulsed unbridled in the firelight.
Ye Tingchen thought that what happened recently is never accidental, everything happens for a reason, and everything is linked to each other.
"It's interesting, it's getting more and more interesting now" Yejun licked his lips, and the joints in his hands were too hard, and there was a deep pain.
This case seems to be getting more and more interesting, and there is the person who sacrificed his life to save himself, and Ye Tingchen is becoming more and more curious, who he is and for what purpose he saves himself.
What puzzled Yejun the most was not why he wanted to save himself, but that he couldn't guess the identity of the person in front of him.
As he ran behind the man, he could smell a fragrance that was unique only to girls.
The scent will make people a little stunned, and the god will float down the hair of the person in front of you to the tip of the nose.
After leaving silently, he ran casually onto a bustling street.
"This Ye Tingchen is really a stupid person, he dares to run to that place where there is no one alone, it must be that he provoked someone with his broken temper, and he deserves to be hunted down."
Shen Mo casually picked off the rock sugar gourd on the stall next to him, gnawed two mouthfuls angrily, threw two copper plates in the hands of the vendor, and left angrily.
Shen Mo was just wandering around the border, but there was a noisy footstep in his ears, presumably a group of people who were planning to chase and kill, so he followed over to take a look.
I didn't want to be nosy, but when I saw that the person being chased and killed was Yejun, I gritted my teeth and had to take action.
"If it weren't for me this time, Ye Tingchen, a stupid person, would be half-crippled, even if he didn't die. If it weren't for the pity of seeing him being hunted down alone, I would definitely have to blackmail him well. ”
Silently hummed nicely, his strange eyes fluttered everywhere on the street, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, this look really attracted the attention of many people
Shen Mo is an extremely beautiful girl, although she doesn't dress up much on weekdays, but even if she doesn't apply any rouge and gouache, the delicacy of her skin is not comparable to that of ordinary girls.
Ye Tingchen was thinking in the barracks, whether to report this matter to the emperor, after all, this is related to the lives of many women in Shuxia Kingdom.
Now is the next game of chess, the bet is that the life and death of two people make a wrong move, and it is possible to lose the whole game, this is a game of chess that cannot be wrong, we must be cautious.
Now I can only see the news that the dark guard has returned, and if there is a little action by that group, it will be wiped out
Nodding secretly, he made up his mind that Yejun would no longer think about this matter, but that figure appeared in his mind again
But who was the person who saved him at that time, Ye Tingchen really couldn't remember, but the inexplicable familiarity was very worrying.
This feeling of wanting to be alone but not remembering it is simply a kind of torture.
At the same time, in a huge manor in the center of the kingdom of Luxia, preparations were in full swing for the annual poetry meeting.
The Poetry Society was different from other gatherings, which were directly under the jurisdiction of King Wu and directly linked to the royal family.
Every poetry meeting, there will be many talented and beautiful people gathered here. They chanted poems here and met friends with poems, which was also the largest and youngest event in the year of the Liuxia Kingdom.
Everyone has their own thoughts when they come to this grand society, and most of the talented and beautiful people can fight for their future with their literary brilliance.
Everyone will have their own careful thoughts, and no one will say what is in their hearts.
On this day, almost every family will come here to visit, so every time this poetry meeting is held, the entire Liuxia Kingdom is particularly lively.
Although there are no gongs and drums, it can be regarded as a sea of people, and the fragrance of pen and ink is permeated everywhere.
In fact, the Poetry Society is a form of competition, a competition between talented young people, and a grand event for literati to discuss the history of literature.
Most of the people will come to visit and see the poetry festival, because there are not many people who can actually participate.
At the beginning, there were many people who signed up for the poetry club, and after rounds of screening, only a dozen people could stay until the end.
It is precisely because everyone can sign up that there will be some people who do not have a general understanding of their own strength and want to fish in troubled waters at this conference.
The previous rounds of the game were to wash away those who were unclear about their own strength, and in the end those who remained were the real elites.
So what everyone is watching is also the wonderful competition of these dozen people, which is no less exciting than a royal gathering.
Li Wen, the investor of this poetry meeting, was unhurriedly prepared, since King Wu promised to help sell the wine piled up in the warehouse, then now he just needs to wait to count the money.
Li Wen often said that life is so painful, and only money can bring people a trace of happiness, so he will only live for money.
This sentence reached the ears of most scholars, and they were naturally extremely disdainful
But if you think about it carefully, it is indeed such a truth that cannot be refuted.
Now there are two days before the poetry meeting, so in order to set off the atmosphere, there will be a lion dance and gongs and drums in the manor every day, attracting everyone to come and watch when the time comes.
On the long mountain, Xiaohuan sat bored by the river and picked a hand of dog's tail grass.
Her eyes seemed to be shining like stars, but there was a faint hint of sadness.
Obviously she was still a girl, but she had this kind of expression at the age when she should be carefree.
"Miss has been gone for three days, nothing will happen, right? Bah, what unlucky words to say, Miss Fu has a great life, and with the protection of the head and the master, there will definitely be no accident. ”
As if trying to force himself to admit it, he nodded hard, and then he didn't dare to be too convinced, shaking his head and nodding his head, and he was busy.
Xiaohuan sat alone by the river and nodded and shook his head, amusing the people hiding in the grass.
"Who?"
Xiaohuan heard the movement, but did not see any people or animals, and stood up vigilantly and looked around.
"Sister Xiaohuan, it's me, don't be afraid."
The little dog was really a little scared when he saw Xiaohuan, so he stopped scaring her and quickly came out of the grass.
Xiaohuan looked at the little dog in front of him with a gray face that seemed to have come from somewhere, stretched out his hand, and gently wiped his face.
"Wow, it's you, puppy."
Xiaohuan hasn't been back to Shen Mansion for too long, and he hasn't seen his own young lady for a few days, so now when he sees the little dog, the excitement in his heart is indescribable.
The little dog looked at Xiaohuan's happy appearance, and also smiled and showed two little tiger teeth.
"No, how did you come up, this long mountain is thrilling and dangerous all the way, you are a child, how dangerous it is."
Xiaohuan reacted at this time, seeing that there seemed to be some traces of thorns on his face, and his heart was slightly sad.
Xiaohuan was suddenly afraid, in case the little dog had an accident because he came up the mountain to find him, how could he explain to the housekeeper when he returned to the Shen Mansion.
"Sister Xiaohuan, don't worry, the puppy has grown up. It's not a kid anymore. ”
It's just that the person who said this is just a child, so it's not convincing, as if he wants to prove that what he said is true......
The puppy rolled up his sleeve and showed the muscles in his arm to the ring.
In order not to hit the puppy, Xiaohuan seriously pinched the puppy's arm with two fingers and made a surprised expression.
"The puppy actually surpassed his sister, and he grew up without paying attention" Xiaohuan pinched the puppy's face affectionately and said with a squint.
The little dog smiled proudly, and was very satisfied with Xiaohuan's reaction, he had to grow up quickly in the future, so that he could protect Xiaohuan's sister and eldest lady, and would not let them be bullied again.
Hearing this, Xiaohuan's heart was also slightly warm, she was already in the deep boudoir compound, and the suffering she suffered since she was a child also made her taste the warmth and coldness of the world, so she was able to cherish the hard-won feelings in front of her even more.
"But ah, little dog, the road up the mountain is really very dangerous, Sister Xiaohuan doesn't want the little dog to be injured because of this, so can you promise Sister Xiaohuan not to do this in the future?"
In order to prevent the puppy from continuing to come to him like this next time, Xiaohuan deliberately instructed carefully.
Xiaohuan patiently explained to the puppy that she knew that the puppy liked and worried about herself, but she was still unwilling to let a child take the risk.
"I remember, Sister Xiaohuan."
looked at the rare seriousness of the girl in front of her, and the real worry revealed on her face.
The little dog is naturally also an extremely sensible person, so he also nodded seriously
The little dog has been very obedient since he was a child, and he is the most obedient to Xiaohuan and silent words.
Xiaohuan gently stroked the puppy's head and looked at him like his own brother, so he would be very worried about his safety.
Xiaohuan looked at the puppy in front of him and thought, "If my younger brother was by his side, maybe he would have such a height, such an old age."
The two of them, one tall and one short, held hands and walked back to the hall of Changshan together.
Xiaohuan led the little dog to the guest room arranged for her by Chen Xiling, helped him scrub his little hands and face, and dusted off the mud on his body because of climbing the mountain.
Although the puppy is still just a child, his eyebrows and eyes are excellent, and he is naturally handsome, and he looks even more energetic when he wipes the soil.
"Little dog, did you come to Changshan to tell your father?"
Worriedly glanced at the puppy in front of him, Xiaohuan was a little strange, the puppy was strictly controlled by his father on weekdays, why did he have time to run out now?
Xiaohuan looked a little worried, and secretly thought in his heart: "I hope it's not this stinky boy who sneaked out by himself, otherwise it will be troublesome, in case his father asks, things may be a little tricky."
On the way, Xiaohuan also used to inquire like a puppy, but this kid didn't know when his mouth became so tight, and he was fooled by him every time.
Xiaohuan was still very worried that the puppy had sneaked out by himself, so he asked
"No, Daddy is very busy in the house, and I ran out by myself."
Xiaohuan suddenly asked like this, and the puppy also replied with a smile in his eyes.
If a person wants to tell a lie, his eyes will definitely flicker, although the little dog does not, but Xiaohuan can't let go of his heart.
Xiaohuan looked at the little dog's little face and couldn't bear to blame him, so he could only feel distressed silently.
Although the housekeeper raised the puppy in the Shen Mansion, he did not fulfill his responsibilities as a father. only cares about the life and death of the puppy, but never asks whether life is good or bad.
Shaking his head, looking at the carefree puppy in front of him, he was also a little sad in his heart, and the unconscious doctor muttered, "If you didn't want to raise him, why did you have to give birth to a miserable child......"
Looking at Xiaohuan talking to himself, the puppy tilted his head and said, "Huh? Sister Xiaohuan, what did you say? ”
Xiaohuan shook his head, threw these thoughts out of his head, wiped the tears on the side of his eyes, calmed down, and said with a smile, "It's nothing, my sister didn't say anything"
"Then how do you know I'm in Changshan?" Xiaohuan asked, changing the subject
Xiaohuan remembered that he didn't tell anyone when he came to Changshan with his own lady, how did the little dog know?
"The eldest lady told me, she asked me to come to Changshan to find you when my father didn't care about me."
Xiaohuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, and only then did he understand what the eldest lady meant, and a touch of gratitude rose slightly in his heart, and he said lightly: "Miss also has a heart." ”
The little dog smiled slyly, and he waited for several days before his father was busy with work, so that he could take advantage of the loophole to come out to see Sister Xiaohuan.
After hearing this, Xiaohuan smiled softly, maybe it would be a good thing to keep the puppy by his side. When you are bored, you can relieve yourself of boredom, and you can be regarded as having someone to accompany you.
It was now the afternoon, but the sky was dark and pressing, and there were dark clouds rolling in the sky, and a flash of thunder could be seen, which definitely looked like it was going to rain.
In the Shen Mansion, no one noticed that the little dog sneaked out at all, because he had been hiding and playing alone in the Shen Mansion since he was a child, and he would not take the initiative to greet the people in the Shen Mansion. So whether or not he can see him is not important to the Shen Mansion.
No one likes this feeling, and the feeling of being ignored is naturally not pleasant, but the innocent and lively puppy in front of him does not understand how miserable his situation is.
This appearance made Xiaohuan even more sad, and he stretched out his hand and touched the puppy's head.
The sky gradually began to drizzle, and Shen Yan gently closed the doors and windows in the Xianxiu Pavilion, and said lightly, "It's really a strange thing, why was it fine just now, but now it's raining."
In the room, Yuan and Shen Yan sat opposite each other, and neither of them had any expression on their faces, they just sat blankly and had their own thoughts.
"Mother, you said that the woman who was silent has been away from the house for two days, is there any conspiracy outside her?"
After thinking about it for a long time, Shen Yan was still a little worried, and the chair she sat down on seemed to be about to start a fire, so she couldn't sit still and stood up and walked around
Shen Yan rolled his handkerchief in one hand and paced anxiously around at the same time, looking at Yuan's dizziness and frowning.
"I mean, isn't it good for you to sit honestly for a while?"
Yuan Shi rubbed his brows, left the house silently, and there was no news for two days, which taught her to panic.
Shen Yan didn't pay attention to his mother's words, but instead suddenly laughed to himself, looked at her mother and said.
"Mother, do you remember the black-faced doctor you asked me to investigate last time? I found it. ”
Shen Yan looked proud, because she finally got the handle of Shen Mo, so she must take advantage of this opportunity and take her down in one fell swoop.
"Really? Found it? ”
The words were like thunder, and as soon as they came out, Yuan's drowsy brain just now suddenly cleared up.
Yuan was shocked when he heard this, he didn't expect that after so long, he actually let his daughter find out.
"Of course..."
Shen Yan sat next to her mother, put her mouth close to her ear and said softly.
Outside the window, dark clouds rolled, and a thunderclap slashed between the two of them.
"I asked Lan'er to secretly go to the Golden Jade Pavilion, but I didn't expect to find out the black mask and the wooden box for medical treatment from under the silent bed. The black-faced doctor that King Wu said was silent. ”
"What?" Yuan's body trembled when he heard the news, and even his voice changed slightly and exclaimed.
After Shen Yan finished speaking, his eyes were smug and gloomy, and he was thinking in his heart about how to use this big handle to defeat the woman Shen Mo next.
"In this way, King Wu listened to the words of the black-faced doctor and came to the Shen Mansion to take the silent white lotus, and this black-faced doctor is Shen Mo herself, isn't it all she carefully designed in order to force King Wu to marry her?"
When Yuan's words came out, even he was almost startled, what kind of mind is this, if she really succeeds, then I'm afraid that in the future, the two of them will have a hard time.
Thinking of this, her back was a little cold, her body was in a cold sweat, and the handkerchief in her hand was getting tighter and tighter.
Shen Yan nodded, she also thought so in her heart, it was indeed possible for this silent scheming to come up with this method, so this is a big crime to deceive the prince.
"If it's really as you say, this is indeed a good opportunity, and this matter can indeed be used as a lever to blackmail her," Yuan said with a frown
"Therefore, we need to find a good opportunity for this handle, King Wu is angry, everyone is in danger, if this silence accidentally hits the muzzle, he will definitely not be able to turn over for the rest of his life."
Shen Yan's vicious smile made Shen Mo proud on weekdays, which angered King Wu, but he couldn't eat and walked around.
At this time, the already dull sky outside the window suddenly began to rain heavily, and the rain became heavier and heavier, and it was mixed with thunder and lightning in the lotus pond, and a gloomy atmosphere spread throughout the room.
After a short period of shock, Yuan Shi also immediately calmed down, licked his face and said lightly as if nothing had happened just now.
"Yan'er, don't make a noise about this matter first, be silent and scheming, we have to seize the opportunity and catch her off guard."
Yuan's is naturally not ordinary, and she can achieve the position of the hostess in such a big mansion, and her scheming is probably not comparable to ordinary people
Shen Yan nodded, arched his hand at his mother with a smile, and said, "It's still my mother's thoughtfulness, and I will do everything you say...... Your city government and scheming, I'm afraid my daughter won't be able to learn for the rest of her life."
Yuan nodded with a smile, then sighed again, and said helplessly: "How can there be any scheming city, you and I are just living with fate in this life."
