Chapter 17: Confusion (Part II)

The winter wind is sparse and sparse blowing through the tips of the leaves in the treetops, and the Qunying Garden of Baichuan Villa feasts guests today. On the fiftieth birthday of the old man Bai, the victorious friends are like clouds, the high friends are full, and the knights and famous artists from all over the world gather together. The people in the rivers and lakes are chic and uninhibited, and the banquet is also happy, which is more than a little more lively than the official banquet on the first day. Rows of well-trained maidservants walked back and forth between the heroes with trays in their hands, bringing out the originally somewhat rigid atmosphere to a little soft. Pearl white jade plate, Jiuhua exquisite cup, golden ivory chopstick, mellow lotus leaf wine...... Everywhere shows the luxury and wealth of the White House.

Bai Lotian is fifty years old, although his temples are frosty, but the whole person still looks very tough, and on today's happy day, his natural face is flushed, and his complexion is excellent. After three rounds of wine, the old man Bai took the wine glass and got up: "Friends deigned to come to the cold house today, which really made the old man shine!" Thank you for appreciating the light, this glass of wine is a toast to you! "Drink it all.

His behavior is very much in line with the temper of the people in the rivers and lakes, which is naturally more admirable, so everyone in the next place raised their glasses and drank them all, and after a while, there were repeated compliments. Weiyu sat alone on the side, Li Xia only showed his face early in the morning and disappeared, and he didn't know what to do mysteriously. It's nothing more than you praising me a few words, I praise you a few times, this kind of day there is no one who is willing to say something unpleasant, and after listening to it a lot, it's just a few words back and forth. It was boring to see, so I couldn't help but quietly get up and hide. She was already afraid of the cold, and the banquet was in the open-air garden, and when the meal came up, it was already half cold, and she only felt even colder. It is said that the people of the rivers and lakes should practice martial arts in the cold and heat, but from childhood to adulthood, no matter how hard she practiced martial arts, it did not have the slightest effect, even Gu Zhen felt very strange, but he had never come up with a reason for several years of research, so Wei Yu had to suffer like this.

Walking and walking, not long after the sound of people around gradually stopped, before the rain looked up, only then did I realize that I unconsciously entered a very delicate yard, although it is winter, the plum blossoms have bloomed all over the garden, at a glance it looks like spring is full of vitality. When I got closer, I found that what was planted here was a very rare plain heart plum, this kind of plum blossom flowers are large and bright, yellow petals, almost pure color stamen, and the fragrance is very strong. A rockery in the garden is rocky, you can vaguely see the deep and tortuous passage under the rockery, not far away behind the flowers and trees is a small building rich in Jiangnan characteristics, the green tile cornices, only look at the carving of the doors and windows to know that the owner here must have spent a lot of thought when arranging. In Baichuan Villa, there is no one else who can live in such a place, except for Bai Lotian's pearl Bai Ruoshui, thinking of this, I want to go back before the rain, although I am a guest, but it is always a little presumptuous to trespass into other people's residences, and the time for her to leave the banquet is not short, and it is not good to delay.

Before she could turn around, she heard a voice coming from the path, and before she could think about it, Weiyu subconsciously turned around and hid behind the rockery, and only after hiding did she suddenly react, there was no need to hide, she just strayed into this room, even if she was discovered by Bai Ruoshui, she would not be blamed, so hiding seemed to be a thief, thinking of this, she planned to go out. Just before she could act, a person suddenly fell behind her, wrapped one hand around her waist and covered her mouth with the other, the movement was extremely neat, and the unsuspecting Weiyu fell into a strong embrace without resistance.

She wanted to struggle, but the person behind her suddenly approached her ear and whispered: "Don't make a sound! ”

Although the voice was very low, Wei Yu immediately heard who the person was, but strangely, she was not worried about her situation at all, as if from the beginning of meeting him, she decided that this person would not harm her. It's just that it's really uncomfortable to be restrained like this, so she had to look back at him reluctantly, blink at him with a pair of big eyes, and signal with her eyes: Let me go first.

No one can refuse such a pair of eyes, beautiful shapes, radiant and dazzling, as if they can look straight into people's hearts. Ning Qi was no exception, so he let go of his hand.

Regaining his freedom, a hint of cunning flashed in Wei Yu's eyes, and he suddenly shot at Ning Qi, as if to retaliate for his previous actions. As early as when he saw that flash of light, Ning Qi felt bad, and sure enough, the woman in front of him attacked the next moment, and in desperation, she had to dodge left and right, trying to avoid it. This small rockery cave is narrower than the inn he started before, and it is difficult for the two of them to be able to spread it here. Wei Yu's body is light and soft, and his hands are a few points lighter than that dexterous cat, what is surprising is that although Ning Qi dodges everywhere, he has never fallen behind, he is long, and he is also comfortable in this cramped place.

After ten moves, the sound of footsteps outside was getting closer and closer, and as a last resort, Ning Qi shot back, a reflexive bully approached, trapped her in his arms with the strength of his arms, restrained Weiyu's hands with his left hand, and gently put his right index finger on her lips, signaling her to silence.

Unexpectedly, Weiyuren was restrained, her mouth was not idle, I saw her mouth open slightly, and her teeth bit Ning Qi's index finger at once, this time without mercy, Ning Qi's face immediately changed, I don't know if it was because her fingers were too painful, or because she didn't expect such a "strange" woman......

Watching him change his face with satisfaction, Wei Yu let go of his mouth, Ning Qi's fingers were finally freed, only to see four neat tooth marks deeply imprinted on it, just looking at the depth of the traces, he knew how much effort Wei Yu used, ten fingers connected to his heart, it was difficult for Ning Qi to endure a word.

Before the rain succeeded, he immediately blinked curiously at him with a pair of eyes, his eyes were full of banter, as if to say: I didn't expect that the dignified Seven Star Pavilion Lord would do such a thing as a chicken and a dog thief.

Looking at her like this, Ning Qi smiled helplessly, and also signaled with his eyes: There is something important to do, and it has to be done.

Weiyu continued to blink: What's the matter? Tell me!

Ning Qi shook his head, motioning for her to listen to the movement outside.

"You are really too risky in the north, in extraordinary times, the imperial court will never give up, if it is thoroughly investigated...... a woman's gentle voice sounded, and she looked at Ning Qi before raining: Bai Ruoshui?

Seeing him nodding, he knew that his guess was good, but it was obvious that there should be two people outside the breath, so who was the other one? As she thought so, she heard another voice hear.

"I have my own measure in this matter, you can rest assured, since I have done it, I have already arranged a perfect plan, not to mention that those wine bags and rice bags in the imperial court can't be found on my head at all, even if it is really found out, there is naturally a scapegoat on it." The man looked at Bai Ruoshui tenderly and said.

"I always rest assured that you do things, but it's just a white instruction, and the things ahead have been arranged? Are dad and big brother okay? ”

"It's all arranged, nothing will go wrong. But your body has been getting better lately? ”

Bai Ruoshui smiled bitterly and shook his head when he heard him ask: "It's just a day, one more day is a day." ”

"Ruoshui! Don't say that! The man excitedly took Bai Ruoshui, "I said, no matter what, I will find a way to cure you, you can relax!" ”

"But ......"

"No, but, believe me, in fact, I already have some eyebrows, but this method is too risky, and I still need to find someone to test it." The man interrupted her and said that he had wanted to tell her about this matter later, but now that he saw her so pessimistic, he couldn't help but open his mouth in advance.

"What you said is true?! Can it really cure me? Bai Ruoshui grabbed his arm and asked excitedly.

The man looked at her dotingly, raised his hand to gently brush the broken hair on her sideburns, and said gently: "Naturally it's true, when did I lie to you?" It's just that I'm not 100% sure yet, and I'll tell you in a little while. ”

"Well, I believe you." Bai Ruoshui looked at him gently.

The man smiled, leaned over and took her into his arms, and said softly, "Don't worry, I won't let you have anything to do, we ...... What people! Suddenly, there was a soft sound behind the rockery, which woke up the man, and Bai Ruoshui was also startled, and then looked at the man in horror. They originally took advantage of the chaos and chaos in front of them today to be unnoticed, so they specially cleared the next person to meet here, if they were discovered, she couldn't think about what the consequences would be!

The people outside have been grinding and not leaving, Lou Weiyu has been standing for a long time, his legs are a little numb and he can't help but move, but he didn't expect that this move just kicked a stone under his feet, the sound was not loud, but it definitely couldn't escape the ears of the master. Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Wei Yu walked towards the depths of the rockery without saying a word, of course, he didn't forget to bring Ning Qi with him.

The man chased after the sound, only to see that there was no figure, he just wanted to enter the rockery to investigate, but heard a "meow", Bai Ruo leveled the cat fluffy jumped from the corner of the rockery.

Bai Ruoshui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this, "It turned out to be velvet, it's okay", and then he hugged it into his arms and smiled, "You, running around, you scared me to death!" ”

The man looked at the cat in Bai Ruoshui's hand, and his puzzled expression flashed, but he didn't say anything after all.

It's just that Ning Qi and Lou Weiyu, who hid in the rockery, did not completely escape. This rockery looked ordinary on the outside, but I didn't expect there to be so many forks in the road inside, Ning Qi let her lead her around, until she found that she had passed the same place again before she had to speak: "It's the third time I've passed through this place, how long do you plan to go here?" ”

"What did you say?" The rain did not stop.

"Look", Ning Qi pointed to a grass in the crack of the mountain next to him, and seemed to smile, "We have passed this grass for the third time, do you recognize the road?" ”

"I—Of course I ...... I don't know, I haven't been here", Wei Yu said with a red face, seeing him look at it funny, he couldn't help but retort, "Do you know?" ”

"I don't know, but at least I don't keep going around the same place without knowing it." Ning Qi replied helplessly.

Just now, she only cared about hiding, and didn't pay attention to the structure of the rockery at all, or she didn't expect an ordinary rockery to trap her, so she had to lean to the side depressedly and asked, "Then what now?" ”

She leaned on, only to feel that a stone seemed to be pushed into it by herself, and before she could figure it out, suddenly there was a "boom", and a gap opened where the two were standing, and Wei Yu and Ning Qi fell into it at the same time without preparation.
