Chapter 46: As a concubine
The sunset in southern Xinjiang is a little different from the sunset in Dayan, if the sunset in Dayan is like the faint gentleness of ink painting, with a quiet and peaceful time, then the sunset in southern Xinjiang is as enthusiastic and unrestrained as the girl in red dancing in the wind.
Although it was sunset, it made people feel hot for no reason, and even the occasional wind could not reduce some of the scorching heat.
Ruan Wushuang calmly raised the lamp and took a sip to relieve the feeling of dryness, and her beautiful eyes glanced out of the hall from time to time, at noon, she wanted to go to find clues in person, but the six missing women were one east and one west, one south of the city and one north of the city, if they went one by one, it would take time and effort not to mention, and delay the time to solve the case, so she listened to Qu Liufeng's suggestion and let his secret guards investigate.
"Ah Ruan, let's eat something!"
Hearing the sound and looking sideways, it was Xiaowuji, who was sitting next to him, only to see him raise his hand and hand over a piece of cake, which was her favorite red bean cake.
"Hmm. She said with a faint smile in her eyes.
Watching her bite down on the pastry, the corners of Xiaoji's mouth quietly raised unconsciously.
The afterglow of the dim light of the windy wind flickered from time to time to pay attention to the situation on Ruan Wushuang's side, seeing him taste the cakes, the smile in his eyes actually made him suddenly feel for a moment, could it be that he had been stunned recently?
"Big brother, big brother. ”
Qu Yiwu's voice pulled back Qu Liufeng's thoughts, and when Fang came back to his senses, he only felt that three different gazes hit his body, his eyes were so fierce that he wanted to beat him Xiaowuji, Ruan Wushuang with unknown eyes, and Qu Yiwu with complaining eyes.
"Big brother, what are you doing looking at that little white face?" Qu Yiwu said dissatisfiedly, and when she talked about the little white face, she also glared at Ruan Wushuang, just now her favorite eldest brother actually looked at a man and lost his mind, it really made people feel annoyed, could it be that he couldn't compare to a man?
"Don't mess around. Qu Liufeng's face darkened completely.
"I ......" Qu Yiwu crossed her face, and was about to say something, but was interrupted by the secret guard who came back from inquiring about the news.
"The subordinates have seen the prince. The six plainclothes guards said in unison.
"Hmm. Qu Liufeng responded lightly, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, if Qu Yiwu continued to mess around just now, he didn't know what moths he was going to make.
"What about the news?" Ruan Wushuang couldn't help but ask, Yun Niang has not heard any news for many days, even if there is a secret guard of the Thousand Machines Pavilion given by Dugu Liancheng to investigate, there is still no news, if it is not found for a day, Yun Niang will threaten a point.
Hearing this, the dark guards looked at Qu Liufeng, and Qu Liufeng's careless eyes swept over Ruan Wushuang for a moment, and then nodded.
According to the information obtained by the subordinates, the six women were beaten and scolded by their husbands before they disappeared. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Ruan Wushuang's mouth hooked slightly, and her eyes were even more sparkling, she really guessed correctly, if the murderer's original intention was just to save these women who were beaten and scolded by her husband, there was no need to return and kill the man, but this murderer not only killed the husbands of these women, but also took away all the internal organs.
"It's a lot easier. Ruan Wushuang chuckled, his eyes casually swept over the wind.
"Pavilion Master, what is the best plan?" Qu Liufeng asked out loud, a pair of visiting eagle eyes fell straight on Ruan Wushuang's body, and he couldn't help but think that this Pavilion Master of the Purple Moon Pavilion was really not to be underestimated.
Ruan Wushuang swept away the several glances that fell on him, and the corners of his mouth hooked slightly: "Since the target of the murderer is a husband and wife who are not in harmony after marriage, and every four days is a reincarnation, then we will catch turtles in an urn." ”
Hearing this, Qu Liufeng suddenly hooked his lips and smiled, looking at Ruan Wushuang's eyes at some point, he didn't know when he was dyed a little approving, so that this case was just around the corner. Xiao Wuji raised her eyebrows and smiled, worthy of being a little girl, this method is really the most for her. Only Qu Yiwu didn't understand the meaning of Ruan Wushuang's words, and she was smart not to ask, but frowned slightly.
At this moment, in Dayan Yiyang City, the people affected by the disaster have been properly settled, and Dugu Liancheng will leave for Chang'an to resume his life at this moment.
He was dressed in an ink-colored bamboo robe, the back of Qing Jian on the horse was as straight as the bamboo, a few strands of green silk lazily hung down from the side of his face, although the face of Ruyu was a rare tired color, but he couldn't resist the black and white clear eyes under the thick eyelashes flashed morning light from time to time, like the light of dawn.
His warm but imposing eyes swept over the people on both sides of the city gate who came to see him off.
"The grass people send off His Highness. The people fell to their knees, and at this moment in their hearts the image of Dugu Liancheng was tall, like a god, and no one did not have gratitude and admiration for him.
Slowly retracting his gaze, Dugu Liancheng was about to set off on horseback, but he heard a voice coming from the crowd.
"Lonely City!"
called Dugu Liancheng by the name like this, so that the people present couldn't help but be shocked, thinking that who was so bold?
Dugu Liancheng's cold eyes narrowed slightly, and when he looked sideways, he saw Ayu wearing a pink gauze skirt with an anxious and annoyed face.
"You're going to leave like this?" Why don't you want to leave her behind? How could she give up! She crossed her hands on her hips and didn't stop the battle without asking why, and her jaw with a little baby fat was slightly raised, looking at the feeling of being alone and lonely.
She was really angry with her, she heard that there was an earthquake in Dayan's Yiyang City, and when she learned that he was sent here by the old emperor of Dayan, she happened to learn from her brother that Ruan Wushuang was in southern Xinjiang, she thought that this was the time to cultivate a relationship with Dugu Liancheng, so she hurried to this Yiyang City after her father's Gu poison stabilized.
Coincidentally, there was a plague in Yiyang City, and he was infected and still busy, if she hadn't come in time, I'm afraid he would have ...... She didn't dare to think about it, she had traveled from modern times, and naturally knew how to treat the plague, so under her careful care, Dugu Liancheng gradually improved, and the shadow of the plague in Yiyang City gradually faded.
Originally, she thought that according to the modern routines of writing novels, Dugu Liancheng should find her good and different, and finally slowly fall in love with herself, but although he is no longer rejected by her, he has become two feet away, Dugu Liancheng simply does not follow the routine!
"What do you mean by that, girl?" Dugu Liancheng said with a smile, and his eyes were a little cold.
Hearing this, Ayu's face sank, and a fire rose at the bottom of his eyes, Dugu Liancheng was pretending to be confused, didn't he know what she meant? Okay, since he likes this, then she doesn't mind letting him know what she means.
"My meaning is very simple, that is, you have already slept on the same couch, so you have to take me back to Chang'an to marry me. Ah Yuguan said word by word with a clever smile, ignoring Dugu Liancheng's cold and cold face, pressing step by step.
Hearing this, the hearts of the people present were in an uproar, they respected His Highness as a god, and they actually liked such an unopened little girl with yellow hair, and they had already hugged each other and slept ...... It's unacceptable.
Hearing the sound of small discussions, Qiying couldn't help but gasp, and cautiously looked at the master whose face could no longer be black, it was all his fault, but he was also a last resort, at that time the master was infected with the plague and fell down, but this Ming prayed princess Ayu could be cured, she didn't let him in, if he entered, he wouldn't save the master, the helpless Qiying didn't go out, and let Ayu "do whatever he wanted" to his master.
Because of this, when he returned to Chang'an, he had to go to the secret room to reflect for a month as a punishment, and fortunately Miss Wushuang didn't know about it, if Miss Wushuang knew, I am afraid that the master's punishment would not be so simple. For this reason, Qiying only felt a chill in his heart.
Unlike Qiying's gasp, Ayu looked at Dugu Liancheng with a smile and a gloomy face, what she wanted was this effect, what about the yellow-haired girl?
"As a concubine?" Dugu Liancheng said lightly, and his voice couldn't hear a trace of ups and downs.
Hearing this, Qiying stared at him in disbelief, is this really going to marry this Mingqi princess Ayu......? What would happen if Miss Wushuang knew? According to Miss Wushuang's temperament, she would definitely break with her master and never get along with her in old age.
"Master, three ......" Before he could say anything, he was suffocated back into his stomach by the faint light of Dugu Liancheng's eyes. Seven Shadows closed his mouth in disagreement, his heart burning.
Although Ayu doesn't know what Dugu Liancheng is doing, according to his ten-thousand-year-old iceberg thunder and thunderous temperament, it is not easy to loosen his mouth, what can he do as a concubine? As long as she can marry him, she will have the confidence to make him fall in love with her, and hang in the backyard for her. Then he should say, "Okay." ”
She replied with a sweet smile. Unbeknownst to her, Dugu Liancheng's next words made her smile freeze on her face, and even more struck down her originally burning self-confidence.
"The girl doesn't mind, huh?" His eyes flashed with meaning.
"Don't mind. Her head was pounding garlic.
How do you know that Dugu Liancheng is smiling, his smile is like the sunshine pouring down from the top of the snow-capped mountain, although it shines on the body, it makes people feel the slightest warmth, and even the smile makes people cold to the bone. For a moment, she couldn't understand what he meant.
"But the lady of the family minds. He said coldly, and the meaning of his words can be understood by no matter how stupid anyone is.
This sudden turn of events made Seven Shadows almost laugh, and the master's trick was good.
Ayu stiffened, and her smile stopped abruptly, how could she not know who the lady in his mouth was, wasn't it Ruan Wushuang's woman?
"You just said that I can marry you as a concubine!" Ayu endured the anger in her heart, and suddenly shouted loudly, but she regretted it before she said it.
"His Royal Highness only said that he would marry you as a concubine, but he did not say that he would marry you as a concubine. Dugu Liancheng said slowly, and when the words fell, he didn't waste time talking nonsense with Ayu, so he whipped his horse and left.
Ayu was annoyed in her heart, she knew that it would be like this, looking at Dugu Liancheng who had gone away, Ayu opened her throat and shouted: "Dugu Liancheng, this girl must marry you." ”
"Hehe, I advise you to save your worries, my master only likes Miss Wushuang alone. Qiying reminded Ayu coldly, and then beat his horse away.
"Hmph, worry-free? Ayu muttered to herself, and chopped her feet twice, she didn't believe it, with her current identity as the princess of Mingqi and her own attributes of the heroine of the crossing can't capture him Dugu Liancheng, and wait and see!
"Amon, prepare the horses, let's go to Chang'an immediately. Ayu said to the guards behind him.
"But princess, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has instructed you not to ......" Before he finished speaking, he was angrily shouted back by Ayu: "Let you go, just go quickly, if you are talking nonsense, get out." ”
"Yes. Amon finally replied helplessly.
Ayu looked at the distance where the sunset was fading, and it was difficult to return to her senses for a long time, she must let Dugu Liancheng know that she and Ruan Wushuang, who was the one who could help him.
