Chapter 44: Borrowing the East to Supplement the West
If in this world, laziness should belong to cats, and cunning should be talking about foxes, Xiao Yi feels that the lady in front of him has all of them.
As Su Yu said, it was just a whim for Xiao Yi to get married rashly, but in order to perfunctory the old man, he got in touch more and more, and Xiao Yi felt that his family affair was wonderful. In the Tianxuan faction, although Su Yu had a little bit of use, but later Xiao Yi felt that he was also slowly attracted by her, so in the plan to go to Dingxian, she should have been safe, but Xiao Yi was worried, and still sent Zicheng to protect her, and even Xiao Yi later was alone in the army, so he regretted it a little and let her go to the dangerous capital, but unfortunately in the end she was a step late, so she fell into the hands of Liang Hong and was injured.
However, even if it was dangerous to break into the eunuch's mansion to save people, but at this time, hearing Su Yu's voice, Xiao Yi instantly felt a little excited, so he reached out and took off the black scarf that was masked, but the expression on his face was calm and calm.
"How did you recognize me?"
Su Yu stretched out his hand to lift the burden on the horse, and saw that the two long swords inside were firmly embedded together.
Pulling out Feng Ming, Su Yu smiled and said: "You have a heart, I know that I still remember this sword, and when I fought against that Liang Hong, what you pulled out was not a phoenix but a phoenix, didn't you just want to test whether I could understand your hint and follow you, besides, Feng Ming recognized the master, except for me, the only one who can pull it out is you who have a phoenix, do you say yes, General Xiao Yi." β
Xiao Yi reached out and grabbed Su Yu's arm, close to her ear, and said softly, "I still like you to call me Xianggong." β
Su Yu felt the temperature in his ears, and suddenly blushed a little, and wanted to bow his head shyly, but he felt that it was really not like her style, so he simply turned around, looked at Xiao Yi for a moment, and then commented seriously: "You have the appearance and bearing, but you can also make do with my Su Yu's father-in-law." β
When Xiao Yi heard this, he was happy in his heart, and only raised the corners of his lips slightly, and asked, "Why can it only be regarded as improvised?" As he spoke, Xiao Yat kicked the horse's belly lightly and walked towards a place in the city.
"I don't know." Su Yu shook his head and said truthfully: "I always feel that there is something vacant in my heart." β
Xiao Yi rode the horse, his breath paused for a moment, his eyes became deeper and deeper, he reached out to hold Su Yu's waist tightly, let her be close to him, so as not to suffer from the bumps of the horse, and then with a little domineering and a subtle nasal voice, he whispered: "It will change, in the future, when you are satisfied, it will be me." β
Su Yu rolled her eyes and muttered, "Think beautifully." I felt it carefully, but I felt that Xiao Yi's arms were extremely warm and comfortable, and even felt the fatigue of running for many days, as well as the pain after being injured, all of a sudden hit my heart, making Su Yu unconsciously lean back, and then leaned lightly, and fell asleep on the horse.
β¦β¦
When he woke up again, Su Yu was already lying in a simple farmhouse, which was cleaned up and clean, with a faint scent of herbs.
As soon as she sat up, a middle-aged woman came in, holding a dustpan with dry medicine in her hand, and saw that Su Yu was awake, so she hurriedly went over to support her, and then stretched out her hand on Su Yu's vein, and carefully diagnosed it for a moment before she spoke, smiled, and said kindly: "The young lady has a good body, although she received a heavy blow, she did not hurt the root, and she will be good to recuperate." β
Su Yu nodded, knowing that it must have been Xiao Yi who arranged her here, so she hurriedly said, "Thank you." Then he turned to the woman and asked, "Who are you, this aunt?" β
The woman smiled, turned around and brought the medicine that had been dried on the table, and said to Su Yu: "I am a female doctor, and I am also the dowry girl of the little general's mother. β
Thinking of Xiao Yi's life experience, Su Yu immediately recalled that when Yueling stabbed her silver needle, she had quenched Zhulin's foolishness, which was diagnosed by this female doctor, so she hurriedly responded: "You are the female gentleman from Wei State." β
The woman shook her head, "The little general is just looking at it, he is not a gentleman, if the young lady is willing, she can follow the general and call me a maid." β
Su Yu nodded, looked out the window with the medicine in his hand, and saw that the courtyard was empty, so he asked, "Wei Niang, what about him?" β
Wei Niang also looked out the window and sighed: "There are many things in this world that you don't want to do but have to do. He left, but he said, "You can go to him when you're all right." β
Xiao Yi left, Su Yu also understood in his heart, the soldiers who were ordered by the emperor to go on the expedition, it was a capital crime to return to Beijing without permission, he risked the crime of disobeying the emperor's order, and broke into the eunuch's mansion alone to save her, it was beyond Su Yu's expectations, and now she is settled before leaving, it is also certain, because tens of thousands of troops cannot be left without an owner, although Su Yu does not know what method Xiao Yi used to withdraw, but it is certain that the more time passes, the more unfavorable it will be for him. Xiao Yi is an ambitious person, it is not easy to do this for her, Su Yu was moved in her heart, and she felt that she actually had a good impression of Xiao Yi.
Of course, this favor is only when he is a little calculating, insidious and cunning, and two-faced.
Su Yu knew that his injury was not serious, but he was not in a hurry to find the scholar Dakui and them, after all, the purpose of coming to the capital was to find a few masters, and now Mingyue Lou went to a trip, although he failed to get any exact news, at least he confirmed that Zhulin was unharmed and his life was not in danger.
hit the stone with an egg in Liang Hong's place and was beaten once, Su Yu can be regarded as getting some news from Liang Hong, such as wanting to be unfavorable to several masters, in addition to Liang Hong, there is another force, and for example, the trump card that Liang Hong is holding now may be the widow of the virtuous king Yanli back then, I am afraid that when the emperor dies, Liang Hong will use Yanli's virtuous name to oppose the second prince supported by Wei Tong, and become the master behind the scenes.
These are all some nihilistic speculations, the most useful thing Su Yu got this time is that Liang Hong's territory is full of people, Liang Hong's own martial arts are strong, if he breaks through again, it is estimated that he will only be beaten, so Su Yu secretly decided to change her thinking and use other methods to find out where Liang Hong hid the two masters, for example, she can go to find Zeng Cong, a rich man with many eyes and ears, rich and wealthy, and Wei Tong's eyeliner and financial resources.
After two days of comfortable maintenance in the courtyard of Fu Niang, Su Yu went to the inn where he had contacted the rich man Zeng before, and inquired about his news, but he went a few times, and the innkeeper said that the owner was not there, and asked Su Yu to wait.
First and second wait, after a few days, the result was still not there, Su Yu thought, isn't it that the rich man who was not in the capital and went to the next place? But last time, I heard him say that he was going to send Wei Tong's daughter, his fiancΓ©e who had made a marriage contract, back to the capital, and by the way, in Beijing, to take care of the business at hand for a while, isn't it so fast, and left?
I went too many times, and I left when I couldn't find anyone every time, Su Yu was also a little embarrassed, so this time, I simply sat in the lobby of the inn, ordered some food, wanted to be interesting, and held the business of the old shopkeeper and the rich man, but after sitting for a while, I saw a person, coming out of the side corridor, looking for the old shopkeeper to explain some things, and then quickly turned back to the back hall.
Su Yu looked at it, and then bit off the green vegetables in his mouth, and suddenly smiled wickedly on his face.
Xu Cheng's kid is here, who dares to say that Zeng Cong is not in Beijing, the two of them have always been like the river pushing a boat, and the shell Lang rolling a dung ball, they are inseparable, and now they see one, and they can see the other, and they must be behind.
Su Yu thought again, didn't she borrow too much money from the rich man before, so that the rich man had to hide and refuse to see a poor ghost like her when he saw her?
In fact, it is not impossible, Su Yu thought about it carefully, and felt that it was better to borrow some silver taels from Xiao Yi to repay it to the rich man another day, because he owed the rich man a favor, maybe the rich man was unhappy, and he didn't say it on his face, he owed that Xiao Paoskin, so he didn't have to think about human favors, just because he was afraid that the borrowed thing had not yet covered the heat, he had already chased after him behind his ass and shouted to pay it back, and even if he used a chicken feather from Xiao Paopi, it would be painted on the account by him, so that he could not talk about favors, and what she Su Yu didn't want to owe people the most was favors. So it's also a serious matter to go back and borrow some from Xiao Yi to make up for the hole in the rich man.
After eating, walking on the street for a while to eliminate food, Su Yu paced outside the courtyard wall of the backyard of the inn, looked left and right to see that there was no one in the courtyard, and simply neatly, climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard.
When she landed, Su Yu snorted, just because she was beaten by Liang Hong last time and didn't have a good idea, she said that she should rest for half a month, and she didn't have to exercise vigorously, otherwise although she couldn't hurt her lungs, there would definitely be pain.
Entering the courtyard, Su Yu couldn't help but sigh, sure enough, like a rich man, the place where he lives is also extremely elegant, not to mention the pavilions, the plum trees in full bloom in this courtyard alone make people feel fragrant, and the incense burner in the yard seems to be burning some incense, wafting up curling green smoke, making people feel like falling into a fairyland.
After taking a few steps forward, Su Yu looked up and saw a person sitting under the tree, in the tea table on the stone table, the small brass stove was boiling fragrant tea leaves, and two small white jade-like lamps were placed aside, and a few plum blossoms fell lightly on it. The elegant boy in white sat in front of the stone table, holding a thick scroll in his hand, the breeze blew, the long ink-colored hair swept between the slender fingers, stopped on the yellowed writing, heard someone coming, looked up, a pair of eyes were quiet like a deep spring, a little smile, and seemed to be embellished with moonlight, which made people look very kind at first glance, and looked closely, but it was a little too cold.
Su Yu went over, and wanted to say hello and say hello, but after thinking about it, he came in over the wall, so it was a little bad, and in the end, he made up his mind, cheekily, and said hesitantly: "That, that, I smelled the fragrance of tea in this yard outside, so I couldn't help it, come in and have a look, yes, just come in and see the tea." β
Zeng Cong listened, smiled, put the scroll in his hand aside, put the tea towel in his hand on the handle of the copper kettle, stroked his sleeve and picked it up, in the small white jade cup on the side, the thin water drop needle was poured seven points full, and then beckoned to Su Yu and said: "Coincidentally, the moment you landed, my tea had just been boiled." β
