Chapter 61: Swallow Dock for Pleasure Boats
It is said that 'the master has a mouth, and the slave runs and breaks his leg', Zhao Xiaoxi, who came out of Yanyulou at this moment, looked at these subordinates who had been waiting outside for a long time, and really understood that it was not easy to be his subordinate. But for the sake of safety, Zhao Xiaoxi did not reveal what he did in Yanyu Building, but confessed to these members of the military department who came over, leaving a few people to closely monitor every move in Yanyu Building.
Although Zhao Hyo-seok felt that Kim Yuna, who had been cleaned up like him, should not take the risk of burying the family's nearly 100-year-old foundation and turn a deaf ear to his words. But he must also arrange the monitoring matter, if the other party really dares to ignore him, then the next time he sees Jin Yun'er, he will really be hot.
After explaining the task, Zhao Xiaoxi waved his hand, and these well-trained members of the martial arts began to evacuate. It wasn't until they returned to the inn that they heard Zhao Xiaoxi tell them to go down to rest, and at the same time remember to rotate the few remaining members of the martial arts. These members of the martial arts who didn't do anything all night and blew the wind all night soon disappeared in front of Zhao Xiaoxi, the master.
Looking at Mu Wanqing's room, which was still lit at the moment, Zhao Xiaoxi still gently pushed the door open, but suddenly saw Mu Wanqing, who was asleep, wake up quickly. This kind of vigilance unique to martial artists made Zhao Hyo-seok feel as if he was disturbing the other party's rest.
Looking at Zhao Xiaoxi, who entered the door, Mu Wanqing, who was relieved of his body and mind, said gently: "You're back, then go and rest early!" I still feel so sleepy, so I won't send you. Don't stay with me, or you'll be dishonest. And it's almost dawn, let Ling'er see you sleeping in my room, she will be cranky again! ”
Listening to Mu Wanqing's gentle refusal, Zhao Xiaoxi stepped forward and hugged the woman wrapped in the quilt tightly and said, "Okay, knowing that your face is tender, then I'll go back to the room to rest first." Will you sleep a little longer? But are you sure that Ling'er won't be allowed to happen later? ”
After speaking, he glanced at Mu Wanqing's tightly wrapped body, which attracted the other party's coquettishness: "I know that it is the first time for others, and I was so rude before." Okay, I have my own measure, and I won't let Ling'er see the flaws. ”
Seeing that Mu Wanqing didn't seem to be as uncomfortable as she imagined, Zhao Xiaoxi didn't stay long, kissed the other party on the forehead, and soon left the room under the eyes of the other party. After changing out of his night clothes, he also began to rest, until he was woken up by a shout from outside the door, only to find that it was already dark at this moment.
Getting up and changing into a smart samurai uniform, Zhao Hyo-seok also quickly walked out of the room and saw Zhong Lingshi who was alive again. Without waiting for him to speak, Zhong Ling smiled and said, "Today is the earliest I got up!" When I got up, my sister got up! I'm not allowed to say I'm lazy today, it's you and my sister who are lazy today. ”
In the face of Zhong Ling, he even remembered this kind of joke so clearly, Zhao Xiaoxi really understood that the other party cared too much about his every word. It seems that when you speak in the future, you should also be careful, otherwise you will inadvertently hurt this seemingly simple, but actually delicate girl, which is really not what he wants.
Looking at Mu Wanqing, who was standing behind Zhong Ling, still covering her face with a light veil, Zhao Xiaoxi wanted to ask her about her situation. But I also know this kind of thing, how can I ask it casually. It was quickly decided that he would invite the two girls to have breakfast in the room. And the breakfast is naturally all kinds of pastries unique to Suzhou, and Zhong Ling, who eats it, is also full of praise.
After eating breakfast, Zhong Ling, who looked at him and wanted to go shopping again, knew that Mu Wanqing should not move around much today, and quickly left Mu Wanqing at the inn to rest under the pretext of asking Mu Wanqing to help him copy books. At the same time, he told the shopkeeper Yu to make some nutritious food for Mu Wanqing at noon.
In this regard, Mu Wanqing naturally knew that this was an excuse made by Zhao Xiaoxi, in order to be afraid that she would be physically inconvenient. When I felt a hint of sweetness in my heart, I didn't debunk Zhao Hyo-seok's excuse that it couldn't stand scrutiny. On the contrary, although Zhong Ling felt that Zhao Xiaoxi's arrangement was a bit right, he didn't think much about it when he thought that he could be alone with Zhao Xiaoxi today and was full of joy.
took Zhong Ling to take a day of boating on the Su River during the day, and really let him spend the most relaxing and happiest day along the way. The two returned to the inn after nightfall. As for Mu Wanqing, who cultivated in the inn, she really copied a lot of poetry scriptures for him, which was to pass the time, and at the same time, it also made this excuse less easy to debunk.
During the daytime boating, Zhao Xiaoxi also received a secret report from the members of the military department, and everything was calm in the Yanyu Building today. The only thing that was a little uneasy was that Miss Ziyun seemed to be infected with a cold last night and stopped receiving her every day. The literati who were eager to listen to her play the piano made the literati who admired her in the whole city of Suzhou a little worried.
It is clear that this woman's injuries should be heavier than Mu Wanqing's, and she will have to recuperate for at least one day. Zhao Xiaoxi saw that the other party didn't seem to make any moves to disappoint him, and quickly said that he would continue to monitor the movements of Yanyulou. Until the dawn ushered in again, he also received the Tubo national teacher who had suffered heavy losses all the way, and had already entered Suzhou City.
After a day and a night of conditioning, Mu Wanqing no longer felt any discomfort, and Zhao Xiaoxi quickly decided. Take a trip to the Swallow Dock, where the Murong family lives in seclusion, and take a look at how Azhu, who is also proficient in the art of disguise, looks like. In addition, if necessary, Zhao Xiaoxi decided to go to Mantuo Villa, not far from Yanziwu, to see the fairy sister who was infatuated with his cousin Murong Fu.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly came to the Su River, rented a Wupeng boat and went down the river to Yanziwu. And along the way, there were people constantly telling him about the movements of Kumachi. After arriving at a place not far from the Swallow Dock, Zhao Xiaoxi quickly asked the boatman to stop the boat, and docked next to the exquisite bamboo house built on a shallow embankment.
From the information provided by Bu Yige, Murong Fu, who killed the officials of the arsenal last time, had already left Suzhou with a few retainers. At this time, in the Murong family, in addition to the two personal maids who take care of the house, there are also some ordinary domestic servants and servants left.
As for Gu Mozhi, who was also on the way here, unlike Zhao Xiaoxi, who came by boat, he chose to take the land route more. This also shows that this national teacher from Tibet doesn't seem to know water!
It is clear that although this swallow dock is the old nest of the Murong family, since the death of the famous head of the Murong family, this swallow dock has lost its former liveliness. And the Murong family also set up secret places in other places in the Great Song Dynasty to recruit outlaws, so that when the time is ripe, they will set up a rebellion and restore the inheritance of the Yan Kingdom that they have never forgotten.
Knowing that Gu Mozhi, who was kind on the surface, was not a good person, Zhao Xiaoxi specially prepared a measure for him. Try to ensure the lives of those two pitiful maids in the swallow dock. Especially Azhu, who is more pitiful than Mu Wanqing's background, is the object that Zhao Xiaoxi must protect. You must know that her love with Qiao Feng is the one he admires and pathos the most.
In the midst of this waiting, Zhao Xiaoxi soon saw that the Tubo national teacher, Gu Mozhi, had already appeared on the opposite road. As for Gu Mozhi, he didn't realize that on the fishing boat docked not far from him, there would be an old friend who made him hate and leave, who was watching him walk into the Murong family's mansion to listen to the perfume pavilion with a smile on his face.
Although it is not clear what exactly happened inside, Zhao Xiaoxi is very clear that the last battle in Tianlong Temple. This Tubo national teacher, who has always regarded Murong Bo as his eldest brother, must want to know most at this moment whether this eldest brother is really dead or fake. If he faked his death, it means that the other party should be afraid of exposing him that the cheats are fake, and deliberately hide them so that he doesn't want to find them.
If it's really dead, then Kumachi can't find trouble if he wants to. After all, the living are gone, and it's useless to trouble the other party.
In the face of the arrival of this Tubo national teacher, the two personal maids who stayed at home naturally entertained the arrival of this foreign monk on behalf of Murong Fu. But there is no novel, deliberately teasing each other. It's just that when Gu Mozhi proposed to pay homage to the deceased Murong Bo, Azhu didn't agree. Because Murong Bo left his last words before he died, he did not allow others to disturb his resting place.
Hearing that Ah Zhu was reluctant to take him there, Gu Mozhi felt that there must be an internal reason why Murong Bo left such strange last words before he died. And Murong Bo, who didn't believe that his martial arts were only higher than him back then, would suddenly fall ill and die when he was in the prime of life. Now that he has Azhu's will, he is more and more sure that Murong Bo is pretending to be dead.
Seeing that his words were useless, Gu Mozhi immediately started to forcibly oppress Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, and he had to take him to worship Murong Bo. If he didn't agree, then he would kill Murong's family. Until the two daughters agreed to take him to Murong Bo's cemetery. Anyway, in Gu Mozhi's opinion, as long as this Murong family's mansion is there, they will run away, and the monk will not be able to run the temple.
Seeing this foreign monk, he broke a window with one palm, and looked at the frightened and trembling family members and servants at home. Knowing that Murong Fu of the main family is not here now, their martial arts are not the masters of Gu Mozhi at all. In the pleading eyes of those servants, the two girls could only agree to take Gu Mozhi to pay homage to the mausoleum of the head of the Murong family, which was rarely open to outsiders.
Seeing Gu Mozhi following behind the two people dressed as Yahuan, Zhao Xiaoxi knew that one of these two Yahuan should be Mu Wanqing's sister and Zhong Ling's sister Azhu. He quickly ordered the boatman to drive the boat and slowly followed along the river. Because of this river, fishing boats pass by from time to time, but it does not arouse the suspicion of Haruma Chi walking on the shore.
After Gu Mozhi left the Swallow Dock, the family members and servants of the Murong family quickly left by boat, for fear that Gu Mozhi would be angry with them. As for Ah Zhu and Ah Bi, they can only hope that each other can escape from the hands of that foreign monk. Anyway, they are going out to take shelter now, and it is also Azhu's instructions.
Since Ah Zhu, the son's maid ring, let them leave the Perfume Pavilion temporarily, then they naturally won't stay long. As the family members and servants of the Murong family, they know very well that once they are involved in the rivers and lakes, they seek revenge. If you don't want to die, the best way is to hide away, and this kind of thing is better to leave it to their son-in-law Murong Fu to deal with!
