Volume 1 Xiao Guo Chapter 8 White clothes and wide sleeves
Early the next morning, Bai Yan smiled and knocked on Shen Ning's door: "Master! Get up! ”
There was no response.
Bai Yan smiled and pursed his lips: "I can sleep like this!" Suddenly, Bai Yanxiao quietly found a few stones, one by one, piled up several hills at Shen Ning's door, but there were also formations that looked like them, Bai Yanxiao picked up a rope and pressed it under the stones on one side, and wrapped it around the door of the room.
Bai Yan smiled very well, and when Shen Ning came out of the house, he tripped him up, and then took advantage of the situation to help him, and took the opportunity to take away the pendant around his waist. Bai Yan smiled beautifully, so that he didn't see Shen Ning standing still behind him. Shen Ning looked at Bai Yan with a smile in her eyes.
"Girl, do you need help?" Shen Ning asked.
"No, no, no!" Bai Yanxiao concentrated on adjusting her position, and didn't feel that it was wrong at all.
"Girl, this stone formation seems to be very powerful......" Shen Ning rubbed his chin and pondered.
"That's nature." Bai Yanxiao is very useful.
"Girl, who are you trying to fix?"
"My teacher......" Bai Yanxiao didn't say the last word, as if he realized something, he turned his head in a daze, and when he turned around and saw the person he was most afraid of seeing at this time, his heart sank to the bottom, and Nuo Nuo called, "Master......"
"Won't you continue?" Shen Ning's voice had a hint of a smile, but the gentler it was, the more frightened Bai Yanxiao became.
"No, no, no...... No," Bai Yan smiled and shuddered.
"Your formation is very powerful, who did you learn from?" Shen Ning looked at the stone array thoughtfully.
"Book...... "Bai Yanxiao blushed and lowered his head.
Shen Ning looked at Bai Yan and smiled for a long time, but he didn't break it.
"Give." Shen Ning handed the paper bag in his hand to Bai Yanxiao.
Bai Yanxiao took it and opened it, it turned out to be glutinous rice candy cake, but Bai Yanxiao's face turned white, and he knelt on the ground tremblingly: "Master, the apprentice knows that he is wrong, please spare the apprentice's life!" I don't dare anymore! ”
Shen Ning twitched the corner of her mouth, she wouldn't think that this glutinous rice candy cake was poisonous, right...... Shen Ning narrowed her eyes, and it looked like it, so she said quietly: "Don't you take it as an example?" ”
"Don't take it as an example!"
Shen Ning stretched out her hand, Bai Yan was stunned for a moment, and then put her hand up and let Shen Ning pull it up.
"Eat." Shen Ning said.
"Huh?" Bai Yanxiao couldn't react a little, and after being stunned for a long time, Bai Yanxiao realized what a stupid thing she had done, "Master, you lied to me!" ”
"Oh? Is there one? Shen Ning pretended to be deep.
"......." Bai Yanxiao said bitterly.
Bai Yanxiao looked down at the hot sugar cake in his hand, he actually went out to buy it early in the morning? Inexplicably, Bai Yanxiao's nose was a little sour.
Shen Ning casually glanced at Bai Yan and smiled, looking at her moving expression and falling into deep thought. This girl, in the past, looked heartless, silly and cute, but it was really interesting. And when it comes to the things she cares about, she is smarter than anyone else, and there is a resolute and ruthless strength in those eyes.
Bai Yanxiao wiped her mouth with satisfaction after eating the sugar cake, and then looked at Shen Ning who was walking in front, dressed in black with a tall figure, even walking with the wind, inexplicably people couldn't take their eyes off. Bai Yanxiao's gaze fell on the pendant on Shen Ning's waist, and suddenly his eyes rolled and he shouted: "Eh? Master! Your pendant is so chic! As he spoke, he reached for it.
Shen Ning suddenly flashed, silently avoiding Bai Yanxiao, Bai Yanxiao reached out and grabbed the air, staggered a step, and almost threw it out, Shen Ning grabbed Bai Yanxiao's arm.
Bai Yanxiao steadied and pouted: "Master, I just want to take a look!" ”
Shen Ning put the pendant into his clothes: "It's just an ordinary stone." ”
"If you don't show it, you won't watch it!" Bai Yanxiao pursed his lips, and his doubts deepened.
"Let's go." Shen Ning said.
The two of them came out of the palace and went to the street, Bai Yanxiao looked all the way, clearly not shopping, but exploring something, Shen Ning didn't ask, and quietly followed behind Bai Yanxiao.
"Master, do you know where Xiao Guo's officials will hold prisoners if they detain them?"
"Naturally, it's a prison."
"Then do you know how to get to the prison?"
"Are you, going to rob the prison?"
"No, no, no, how dare I."
"Was that a preparation for the robbery?"
Shen Ning said Bai Yanxiao's heart, Bai Yanxiao pursed his lips and said:
"Master."
"Huh?"
"Otherwise, you might as well go back."
"Don't worry, I also want to see what this prison is like."
Bai Yanxiao twitched the corners of his mouth, inexplicably feeling that Shen Ning had been able to see through himself.
After a short time, the two came to Xiao Guoya's prison. It so happened that several soldiers escorted a cartload of prisoners over. There were about five or six people in the car, all unkempt and embarrassed, covered in blood and with no intact places.
"Let's go!" The escort soldier roared and whipped a man.
"Who are these people?" Bai Yan smiled and stared straight at a child in the car.
"Naturally, there are people who are at fault." Shen Ning said.
"But that child, so young, what can be wrong." Bai Yanxiao's face was slightly pale.
"The car man you see is the heir of Prince Xun, Prince Xun offended the clan not long ago and was imprisoned, and now some people don't want them to live, so they are naturally guilty." Shen Ning's gaze fell on the family crest on the child's shoulder.
"Are the royal laws for self-interest and not for the peace of the people?" Bai Yanxiao's hand clenched into a fist.
Shen Ning glanced at Bai Yan lightly and smiled, but did not speak.
On the way back, Bai Yanxiao didn't speak for a long time, and the hand clenched in his sleeve never let go, if Xiao Guo's law can be so careless about people's lives, then Sister Mu's safety is ...... Bai Yanxiao pursed her lips, no matter what, she must rescue Mu Wanci as soon as possible.
Shen Ning and Bai Yanxiao went back to the Regent's Mansion, and Bai Yanxiao went straight back to the room. Shen Ning didn't ask much and went back to the room, but when she passed by the stone formation in front of the door, she couldn't cry or laugh.
Until the night, Shen Ning's ears were tipped, and he heard the sound of sword dancing not far away. Shen Ning was relieved, Bai Yanxiao's courtyard was only separated from him by a wall, but he still couldn't help but get up and take a look.
The moonlight was sprinkled, the shadows of the trees were mottled, it was midsummer, the plum trees were blooming, and Bai Yanxiao wore white clothes and danced under the tree with a sword. The clothes are flying, the green silk is around the fingers, the sword is sharp, and the shot is decisive, but the expression of the sword-dancing woman seems to be endless unwilling and worried.
The white clothes are wide sleeved, but they are amazingly beautiful.
Shen Ning stood still in the corner, his gaze becoming long.
"General Shen, is it enjoyable to watch?" A deep voice came from the side.
Shen Ning turned around and saw Xiao Sheng, who didn't know when he was standing behind him, and suddenly realized that he was practicing martial arts but he didn't hear someone approaching in advance.
"Regent." Shen Ning saluted slightly, silently concealing, "I am surprised by the speed of her swordsmanship. ”
"That's also General Shen's work." Xiao Sheng's eyes were as deep as a pool of water, and his mind was difficult to discern.
"Shen just handed over some basic swordsmanship, but she didn't want to, in a few days, she was able to make it so superb, and she was indeed a genius in martial arts."
"Oh? There is such a thing. Xiao Sheng's gaze looked at Bai Yanxiao, and it also became deep.
"Shen retired." Shen Ning saluted and quietly retreated.
A gust of wind blew, Shen Ning turned around again without comment, and saw that the plum flowers of the tree fell with the wind and landed between the hair of the woman in white, with long hair flying, with flying petals, so beautiful that it was unbelievable.
Shen Ning was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Xiao Sheng, who was still standing there, as if he was intoxicated. Shen Ning put away her expression, her heart was clear, and a sly light flashed in her eyes.
Bai Yan smiled and practiced for a long time and finally stopped, only then did he see Xiao Sheng, who had been standing for an unknown amount of time.
"Xiao Sheng?" Bai Yanxiao put away his sword.
Xiao Sheng stepped forward and said, "Who have you offended in Xiao Kingdom?" ”
Bai Yanxiao suddenly raised his head and stared at Xiao Sheng: "What do you mean?" ”
Bai Yanxiao's reaction gave Xiao Sheng a great explanation, but Xiao Sheng only said: "It's nothing, Your Majesty recently promoted a female official, is what you saw that day, the maid next to Xiao Yu, do you recognize her?" ”
"Yes." Bai Yanxiao clenched his fists, unwilling to mention more.
"Recently, she has been very close to Master Li of the Criminal Department." Xiao Sheng said quietly.
"Did you find my sister?"
"No, I didn't." Xiao Sheng turned to the side and looked to the side, "This woman's whereabouts are strange, and she secretly contacted many officials who have had a holiday with this king, so it seems that she is actually coming for you." ”
"Your overboard, has something to do with her, right?" Xiao Sheng asked with a smile on his face.
Bai Yanxiao didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.
Xiao Sheng didn't want to be embarrassed, so he turned around and said, "Be careful of her." ”
Bai Yanxiao looked at Xiao Sheng's back as he walked away, and there was a moment of trance.
