Chapter 592: It's Time to Grow Up
When the four young swordsmen who were once unrivaled when they were holding swords, but now they were bare-handed, drooped their heads and left helplessly, Yue Qianqiu followed the passage that those fierce guards gave way and entered the west wing.
Seeing the two imperial doctors coming forward with smiles on their faces, he thought of Song Pujia's criticism of their slippery heads in the past, and remembered that Song Xiaoxia might be treating Princess Ping'an in Yuefu at this time, Zhou Jiyue was with her, and a room of women would definitely be chattering and having fun, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking that he was really unlucky.
It's easy to have a gentle and loving mother, who hasn't had a day of stability, and has to go out to fight and kill again!
However, when he saw the empty soft couch and listened to the two imperial doctors explain that Xiao Jingjing had been sent to the inner room for placement, and the bedding had been replaced with new ones, and now he had not yet woken up, he felt that he was lucky compared to the little girl who had always been innocent and well protected, but now she suddenly faced a terrifying reality.
"You two go out and let the guards spread out, and no one is allowed to approach."
The two imperial doctors were both old oils, and they knew that Yue Qianqiu would definitely say something to Xiao Jingjing that was not suitable for outsiders to hear, so they hurriedly agreed, and then quickly slipped out. After a while, Yue Qianqiu heard their voices and footsteps outside, and it was obvious that the guards had begun to move, away from the door, and unless someone was listening, the whispered conversation would not be heard.
He listened intently, and made sure that there was only one sound of steady breathing inside, and he flashed in. Seeing that half of the tent was hanging down on a large bed against the wall, just covering Xiao Jingjing's front half, he slowed down. When he arrived in front of the bed, the corners of his eyebrows suddenly raised, and then he said with a smile: "The young palace master woke up so quickly." β
At this moment, he saw Xiao Jingjing struggling to sit up, holding a sharp skirt knife in both hands, the short blade was directly aimed at his chest and abdomen, and her chest was violently undulating in the knife, her hair was scattered, and her braided teeth seemed to be about to bite her pale lips to bleed, and the expression was also struggling to a little hideous.
After waiting for a long time and not seeing anyone speak, Yue Qianqiu only thought that the sharp tip of the knife did not exist, and asked with a smile: "When did the young palace master wake up?" β
Xiao Jingjing thought of the scene where Yue Qianqiu knocked herself unconscious, although she woke up and found that her clothes were intact, and this place vaguely remembered that it was the residence of the two imperial doctors, and she even heard the voices of the two imperial doctors talking beside her before, but just now she heard Yue Qianqiu send the four swordsmen back outside, and sent the imperial doctors and guards away, she held the dagger tightly with both hands, and she didn't know whether the full of panic or discouragement in her mind was it, and even when she drew the knife, she only found that she had no intention of doing it.
"I woke up just as you were talking outside...... I'm already a person who doesn't even have a mother, what's the value, what do you want to do with me? β
"Do you really believe that you are not your mother's daughter, and do you really believe that you were abandoned by your mother?" Yue Qianqiu sat down with a smile, and saw that Xiao Jingjing was so angry that his eyes almost didn't pop out, and the skirt knife seemed to be sent forward at any time and anywhere, so he touched his chin and said, "I knocked you unconscious before because I suddenly thought of acting in a play without your consent." Well, don't mind, I'll tell you what happened when you passed out. β
Xiao Jingjing originally made up her mind, and she would never believe what Yue Qianqiu said. However, when she heard that Yue Qianqiu actually made up a lie that she had committed suicide in shame, and deceived everyone into believing it, Hua Le was emotionally broken and confided in the truth, she was stunned for a moment, her hands were loosened, and the skirt knife that she had just used as her last resort actually fell down directly, and the sharp tip of the knife actually stabbed straight down the quilt.
At the last moment, Yue Qianqiu stretched out his hand and copied it, gently and skillfully took the skirt knife, and then played two jugglers between his fingers, and then asked with a sincere face: "How is it, don't you panic so much now?" Even if you're not your mother's own, think about me. I was also picked up from the street by my grandfather, and it turned out that I was not raised as a baby until now? β
When he appeared to say the law, he casually turned the small skirt knife again, and said with a sigh on his face: "You know, after more than ten years of getting along, people are not plants and trees, who can be ruthless, even if you raise a puppy and a kitten, you can also raise feelings, let alone a big living person?" How could your mother throw you away casually? To put it mildly, she just felt that the emperor was not a king who would kill people casually in anger, and I was a person who was often indiscriminately kind, so she played this trick to get rid of the golden cicada and break the wrist of the strong man, in order not to affect you. β
Xiao Jingjing, who was in a state of turmoil, listened to Yue Qianqiu's words, and the tears that he had been holding back before finally couldn't be restrained anymore. She bowed down all of a sudden, first sobbing, and then sobbing turned into a wail, if it weren't for the fact that those people in the Red Moon Palace were sent away by Yue Qianqiu, the so-called statement that she committed suicide by stabbing her throat would definitely be debunked immediately.
And Yue Qianqiu, who was worried about borrowing his shoulder just now, also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, made enough of the posture of a confidant big brother, and once again reasoned with his own facts, and finally succeeded in making Xiao Jingjing gradually stop crying. When the little girl finally sat up straight, he took out his handkerchief and handed it over.
"Look, you're crying like a big flower, wipe it well?"
Although Xiao Jingjing said that he was young, he still wanted to save face in the end, and when he heard this joke, he immediately frowned, snatched the handkerchief, turned his back and wiped his face vigorously, and then threw the handkerchief under the bed angrily. Seeing that Yue Qianqiu didn't have the slightest intention of picking it up, she finally turned around and snorted heavily at Yue Qianqiu, who seemed to be smiling.
She cried a lot, her throat was a little hoarse: "You used me to act in such a scene, it can't be pure kindness, right?" β
"Smart, I've only known you for a few days, how many times have we met? How can there be such a good person! β
Seeing that Xiao Jingjing was suddenly angry, Yue Qianqiu smiled like a little fox: "Of course, I looked at you quite pitifully before, so if I want to cheat, at least I have to know if your mother really left you." But whether she is really ruthless or falsely ruthless, I have thought about it, and I will send you to the Wuying Pavilion when I go back, there are many peers there, and you will not be alone. β
Although it was only twice that he was taken to the Wuying Pavilion by Zhou Jiyue and Song Pujia, Xiao Jingjing really liked the lively and noisy place, and the corners of his mouth hooked unconsciously at this time. When she realized that she was now a motherless child, she quickly put away her smiling face and pretended to be fierce.
"I don't believe it! There is no such good thing in the world, what do you want me to do? β
"It's easy, help me save a few people!" Yue Qianqiu looked directly into Xiao Jingjing's eyes, took a deep breath, and said in a very sincere tone, "You listen to me tell you a story." Well, I was seven years old at the time, and I was in about the same situation as you are now, and my grandfather once slipped out in front of people and stabbed me that I was not the illegitimate son of my cheap daddy, but that he picked it up from the street......"
The legend of the nine sons of the Yue family is known to everyone in Jinling City, but Xiao Jingjing is not a native of Jinling after all, although he has heard some things, but he doesn't know much about the specific details.
I heard Yue Qianqiu talk about the white eyes and isolation she had encountered in Yuefu, about picking up Zhou Jiyue, an orphan girl of the White Lotus Sect on the street, about Liu Fangyuan and Dai Zhanning crossing the border and being escorted back thousands of miles to avenge their father's grievances, about Master Yan Xu's ambition to revive the Xuandao Hall, and about the tough battle on Shui Yuntian's birthday...... Xiao Jingjing was fascinated by it unconsciously.
In the end, she finally had some willpower and woke up suddenly: "You want to save people, what does it have to do with this story?" β
"What I want you to help save is Dai Zhanning, who is the same brother as Liu Fangyuan, the young master of this house. He is also my junior brother. This time, he and Liu Fangyuan followed my master out to run errands, but they encountered crazy robbery and killing on the way. And the people who robbed them, you know. β
Xiao Jingjing gasped. She looked at Yue Qianqiu with straight eyes, until she was sure that he wasn't joking with her, and she couldn't help but tighten the quilt under her. Her mother was the county lord of Beiyan Huoshan County, and she only knew it from the little monkey not long ago, and this was one of the reasons why she almost believed that her mother had abandoned her.
She has always only regarded herself as a Wu person, and her attitude towards Beiyan is no different from that of ordinary Wu officials and ordinary people. And now that Dai Zhanning in Yue Qianqiu's mouth is the son of a loyal and good general, she still knows the people who robbed him and Liu Fangyuan, so it can only be one answer - it was the people of the Red Moon Palace who robbed them!
Under the extreme struggle, she almost bit her lip with blood marks, and it took a long time for her to burst out two words with difficulty: "Who is it?" β
What's the use of knowing who it is? Does she, the young palace master, still listen to what she says now?
"It's Liu Guofeng." When he said this name, Yue Qianqiu paid attention to the change in Xiao Jingjing's face, and when he saw that she showed a very surprised expression, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "I heard the little monkey say that he is now from the Red Moon Palace. I just want to ask, do you know who he used to be and what he did? β
Xiao Jingjing was silent again. In the past, she thought that the days of being carefree and not worrying about anything were beautiful, but now that everything has turned upside down, she feels that she is too sad to be naΓ―ve and ignorant of the world.
She didn't know her mother's true identity, she didn't know what the Red Moon Palace did, and she still didn't know what kind of background and what the right-hand man brought back by her mother like Liu Guofeng was!
Yue Qianqiu only looked at Xiao Jingjing and knew that she must know nothing, so she immediately talked about the series of incidents that occurred since the end of last year, when many sects gathered in Jinling to rebuild the martial arts record, and then because of the defection of the Shengong Gate. When he mentioned that Liu Guofeng single-handedly built the small group of radical young people of the Heroes Club, and then instigated Zhen Rong to the front, hid in the back, and ran away if something happened, and talked about the past when he used Zhen Rong's tattoo to induce him step by step, Xiao Jingjing's face changed completely.
"It can't be! Brother Liu, how could he ......?"
"Well, I'm talking bad about him alone, it's normal for you not to believe it. In this way, the Allah of this Liu Mansion has returned, and it is not suitable for you to live here again, I will move you and the four swordsmen who are still dedicated to you to the Wuying Pavilion, and you yourself will ask them what kind of person Liu Guofeng is. Anyway, when I go back to save Dai Zhanning, I will also ask them for help! β
Seeing that Yue Qianqiu was so frank and open, the last trace of luck in Xiao Jingjing's heart was gone. She stabbed her palm with her sharp fingernails, as if she wanted to prick a hole out of the blood, and used the pain to relieve the indescribable regret in her heart. It wasn't until Yue Qianqiu stood up that she suddenly came out of her trance.
"Okay, I'll promise you this!" She took a deep breath and said word by word, "However, I will see with my own eyes whether Liu Guofeng is such a selfish and unrighteous person as you say!" β
"Okay, I'll thank you for A-Ning first." Yue Qianqiu only felt that a big stone in his heart had finally fallen, and said with a smile, "But the big lie I sucked about, you must not goof." I'll talk to the two imperial doctors about wrapping gauze around your neck, and as for the face of excessive blood loss...... Your face is not good now, and others can't find out about it for the time being. You have to change your voice when you speak, after all, I'm talking about you stabbing your throat, not cutting your throat......"
Seeing Xiao Jingjing's obviously shy and angry expression, Yue Qianqiu took a step back with agility, dodging the tickle she threw over casually, and then said, "In short, today at the earliest, tomorrow at the latest, I will move you to the Wuying Pavilion." You know Senior Sister Song's medical skills, and with her, you don't need the help of two imperial doctors to cover it up. It's getting late, I'll go first! β
Seeing Yue Qianqiu's feet smeared with oil, flying out of the house, thinking that in the past, he couldn't tell the difference between those who really loved him, and the people who flattered him because of his mother's relatives, Xiao Jingjing couldn't help but curl up in a ball, and suddenly felt that this very warm room was very cold.
Is this the price to pay for growing up? How nice it would be if people didn't have to grow up! But it's time for her to grow up......
When Yue Qianqiu touched his hungry stomach and walked out of the gate of Liu's Mansion with a sigh, he swallowed back a sigh when he reached his mouth. For he saw that in the darkness that the two lanterns at the gate could not dispel at all, there stood a man with a waist as tall as a green pine.
He subconsciously led Snow White to take two steps forward, and then shouted, "Master......"
Yan Xu stepped forward with a smile, rubbed Yue Qianqiu's head as he was always used to, and then slapped his shoulder, and then said in a deep voice: "I heard everything from Gonggong Chen. Well, you're exactly the same as you were back then, and it's unconvincing. Do whatever you want, just don't forget to call me back! In short, Master has given you a cover! β
Faced with this unexpected answer, Yue Qianqiu grinned. This is the reason why he never cares about his life experience, he is already lucky enough to have such a grandfather and master covered, can his biological parents who have never met really compare? Even if he is really a nobleman, which emperor can treat his son as well as Yan Xu and treat him half as well? Even the current emperor is far from being as good as the little fat man!
Without saying a word, he reached out and clenched his fist and gently bumped Yan Xu: "Do you need to talk about this?" Master, if you come out, I will be completely sure! β
Yan Xu suddenly smiled: "This is like words!" You've been busy all afternoon, you should be hungry, right? Let's go, go and see if your colleagues are there, and the one who substitutes for you, everyone has a meal together, which can be regarded as a finishing touch for your little half-month drum patrol guard! The emperor said there, you don't have time to mess around there! β
