Chapter Thirty-Eight: Like a Great Enemy
Day 2.
Night, the moonlit night is like a picture scroll, slowly unfolding in front of the eyes, the light gauze-like moonlight pours in front of the marble table carved in the middle of the Shen Mansion Hall, reflecting the flickering candlelight, covering the face of Liang Zheng sitting at the table.
And beside him was Shen Mingchen, but unlike Liang Zheng's frosty face, there was an incredible confusion on his face at this moment.
"Virtuous son-in-law, ......what do you say," he looked at Liang Zheng, who was speechless, and swept his eyes from the faces of the wives and concubines and daughters sitting around behind him, "The red lady is coming?" ”
He'd asked this for the eighth time......
Last night, Liang Zheng, who had returned to the Shen Mansion, suddenly knocked on his door desperately, asking him to gather all his family members immediately, and arrange for all the family members to immediately guard the whole house.
That's not all, he also put his subordinates under martial law outside the hall, and surrounded the entire house so much that not even a fly could fly in.
And there is only one reason for him to do these things - the red lady is coming!
Of course, Shen Mingchen knew who the Red Lady was, but until now he still couldn't believe how he got on the Red Lady's blacklist, and there was no warning in advance.
"I mean, maybe, be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." Liang Zheng's eyes were like an eagle, and he quietly looked at the bright moonlight outside the hall, "The Red Lady will not have too many people, and a big city like the state capital is not something she can beat, so she is likely to let her subordinates blend into Henan Mansion, if she really does this, then there must be only one goal - that is, our Shen Mansion." ”
It was a thought that had been lingering in his mind since he saw the little beggar last night.
The little beggar appeared in a bad place, and besides, he was calloused, and he was obviously a person who had been holding a knife for a long time.
People who hold knives for a long time are either martial artists or butchers, and they have skills in hand, no matter how down, they will not be reduced to the point of asking for food......
Thinking of the three-war covenant between himself and the Red Lady, then there is only one answer - he is a thief under the Red Lady.
Liang Zheng didn't know what the red lady Su Ziqing was staring at him this time, so the only thing he could do was to protect the people around him and protect Shen Mingchen's family.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Shen Wanyue again.
Although her eyes were still a little flustered when she swept the muskets and bayonets in the hands of the generals outside the hall, although her face was still a little pale when she swept the silence and darkness outside the hall, but unlike the other ladies of the Shen Mansion, she seemed quite calm at this moment, but constantly comforted her mother, who was trying her best to suppress her fear and crying.
Liang Zheng's eyes couldn't help but flash a hint of approval......
It is worthy of everyone's beauty, they all say that the more dangerous it is, the more colored, looking at her appearance, although she is also afraid, she is still able to take care of the whole family, and she is really dignified and steady.
Just thinking about it, I saw Xu Hu walking in with his footsteps.
"Master Shen, young master." His face was gloomy, as if he had been slashed and twisted in pain, "Something is wrong." ”
Liang Zheng suddenly stood up from his seat.
Not because of anything else, just because of the plain white short note that Xu Hu spread out in front of him at this time.
The handwriting is beautiful, the pen is charming, but the words are shocking!
Because it clearly says ......
See the words like meeting. A few days ago, Chengjun took care, so far I am impressed in my heart, twenty boxes of brocade silk, have all laughed at it, and stolen incense and cooking tea in the Zhongyi Hall of Jigong Mountain, please talk about it.
Another note: The concubine is a female streamer, and it is inconvenient to see many laypeople, so she must be elegant and elegant, and she will not lose the hope of the concubine.
※※※
Time back to yesterday, Jigong Mountain.
It is also like the moonlight of water, like the full moon of a disk. There is no wind, and the mountain stream is so quiet that it is like a freehand painting with light green and light ochre. There is no light sound of the wind moving the leaves, no whispering of the larks in the distance, there is only the moonlight like the tide and the stars like the morning.
Suddenly!
There seems to be a little more in the moonlight!
It was a woman in red who was in the void, her long hair like the night sky flying in the wind, like ink on rice paper.
Then there was a flying afterimage, slashing at the speed of light!
It was a long sword that glittered with cold light, held in the slender hand of a young woman, and the sword slashed diagonally! As if a sword mark of a passing afterimage stretched rapidly, the blade of the sword cut a graceful half-arc, slashing down at the speed of light.
The moonlight suddenly dimmed!
The sword slashes the moonlight, with an unparalleled momentum and the determination to split everything in this heaven and earth in two.
Then the sword light skyrocketed, and the young woman walked with the sword, as if dancing, and the sword shadows were one after another, provoking the fallen leaves all over the ground, as if the wind in the peach forest was suddenly rising, and thousands of flowers were falling.
After a long time, she slowly retracted, and then turned the delicate face of the red lady Su Ziqing......
The gorgeous and unparalleled face is incredibly beautiful, but it can't hide the heroic spirit that rises between the eyebrows.
But suddenly!
There was a hint of pain on her bright and moving face.
The three-foot Qingfeng in his hand has cut off the moonlight and cut off all the fallen leaves, why can't he stretch Liang Zheng's head?
Not only that, but he even fell into his hands several times, and was humiliated and ridiculed by him......
It's really unbearable!
The red lady took a deep breath and tried her best to alleviate the increasingly heavy depression at the bottom of her heart, and then said in a deep voice:
"What's the matter?"
She could already feel the movement behind her.
Sure enough, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child walked out of the shadows of the trees, wearing a broken hat and a black face, and ran to the side of the red lady to bow down: "Qi is in charge, the little maid was ordered to follow Liang Zheng and found out that he had arrived in Henan Mansion. ”
It's the little beggar on the streets of Henan!
"Oh?" Su Ziqing turned around, starry eyes, and glanced at him, "What is he doing there?" ”
The little beggar said: "The little maid inquired that the man surnamed Liang was ordered to be transferred to the Yongning Military Affairs Regiment for training, but this time it was Shangzhou Mansion who was preparing for brocade silk and rushing to make military uniforms, so he voted for Shen Mansion." He seemed to be going to buy more than twenty boxes this time, and Shen Fu couldn't get so many goods for a while, so he asked him to wait a few more days. ”
"It's not a big deal to organize the brocade, why should he go in person?" The red lady asked.
The little beggar replied, "The little maid has heard with her own ears that this batch of brocades is very important to him. Presumably, that's why I have to go to supervise it myself. ”
Golden opportunity!
More than 20 boxes of brocade silks must be worth a lot of money, and they are very important things to Liang Zheng, as long as you grab this batch of brocade silks, can't you just coerce him?
The red lady's eyes were full of light, but she immediately turned into surprise: "You followed all the way, didn't you see any flaws for him?" ”
She really couldn't be careless.
After all, I have suffered too much loss from Liang Zheng......
This man is scheming and cannot be left unguarded.
"The big boss can rest assured!" The little beggar said, "The man surnamed Liang didn't suspect me at all, but treated me as an ordinary beggar and gave me a few taels of silver." ”
Su Ziqing paced back and forth a few steps, and then stood still!
"Herald!" She took a deep breath, "Everyone will set off immediately and rush to Yanziji on the outskirts of Henan - there is a must for the official road to enter the city, we must take this batch of red goods!" ”
"This time, I must have Liang Zheng kneel down and beg for pleading, so that I can pour out the hatred in my heart!" The red lady said to herself secretly in her heart.
