Chapter 8 Mouth
The sound became clearer as the wheels clattered, the hooves of a dozen horses on the left and right of the horses "ticked", and the street was quiet at night. The white-haired woman observed the situation in the carriage, and there were six or seven women in all, some of them cowering timidly in the corners and shivering; Some look sluggish; There is an even more powerful one, which is tied up here with five flowers, and there is still a piece of cloth in his mouth, and he is still whining and wailing.
Among these women, the only one who seemed to be able to look calm was the white-haired woman, who took out a few small things, poured some black things on a comb, and then picked up a small bronze mirror and combed her hair. After a while, her white hair turned black, and she picked up a handkerchief and carefully rubbed it.
Seeing this, the strong man who was guarding the car said: "What's the matter, this little bit will make my hair black, can you give me a little, I'll get it back to honor my mother." ”
The white-haired woman generously stuffed the bottle in her hand into the man's hand: "It's all for you, it's nothing unusual, it will fade as soon as you wash it." ”
After her white hair was dyed black, her appearance became more pure. At first, the silver hair did look a little weird, but now it's much better.
Then the woman asked, "It seems to be the way out of the city, where are we going?" Didn't you go to the Yamen? ”
The man said: "The envoy is waiting for us outside the city, and we will see you in a while, don't worry." ”
The carriage traveled for a while, and sure enough, it went out of town, and then after a while it stopped. The curtain of the car was lifted, and a middle-aged man wearing a small red flower Ayara stood outside the door and looked inside, he should be the Thorn Shi Lu Zhen.
As soon as Lu Zhu lifted the curtain, his eyes only noticed two people, one was the girl who was tied up with five flowers, because she was tied up so eye-catching; The other is the white-haired woman from before, now her hair is black, and her appearance is really outstanding, so Lu Zhu saw her at first sight.
"Who tied her up like this, huh?" Lu Zhu pointed to the woman in the corner. The man next to him said: "Envoy Jun, she is crying and shouting, otherwise she can't take it away." ”
Lu Zhu glanced at the white-haired woman sitting quietly in the car, then stared at the girl who was tied up and said, "Let go of you now, don't make trouble, otherwise you will be tied up again, understand?" Now it's useless for you to do anything, how much can you struggle better than a few men holding you down? …… Come on, untie her. ”
After the girl was untied, she knelt down directly on the ground and kowtowed: "Ming Gong, I'm about to get married, you are very kind and let me go." ”
"No, it's not enough for just a few people. You have been wronged once, and you are happy to accompany the nobles, and the official will prepare a big dowry for you at that time. ”
The girl cried and said, "Who are you with?" The innocence is gone, what is the use of the dowry? ”
Lu Zhu glared and said, "It's hard to find a man, there are no three-legged ones, and where are the two-legged ones?" Are you still afraid that you won't be able to get married? ”
At this time, the white-haired woman was stunned and said, "Aren't we accompanying the envoy, but giving it away?" ”
Lu Zhu turned his head and said, "Exactly." As a Ruzhou assassin, no matter how nonsense I come, I can't blatantly occupy the good people, right? You all listen well, this matter is not up to you, if you don't follow it, you have to rely on it, things go well, and the official promises not to treat you badly. ”
The white-haired woman snorted, "People still think it's with the envoy...... Will you give me away to someone else? ”
Lu Zhu laughed, couldn't help but get into the car, stretched out his hand to touch her chin, but she avoided it very quickly, "You're going to send people out, what's the advantage?" ”
"Look at this look, tsk, it's really one in a million." Lu Zhu shook his head and said, "If it weren't for the people above, I wouldn't be willing to ......."
The white-haired woman's bright eyes rolled, and she said coquettishly: "Why don't I accompany the person above for the envoy, and then come to accompany Lu envoy?" ”
"Hah...... Okay, good! Lu Zhu said happily, knocked on the carriage again and shouted, "Time is running out, let's go!" ”
The white-haired woman slowly approached Lu Zhen, stretched out her white fingers, and gently stroked Lu Zhen's chest, making his face red. Lu Zhu suddenly reached out and wanted to grab the woman's slender hand, but unfortunately the woman was very agile and didn't touch it, which made his heart itch.
She pouted pitifully: "It's about to become a broken flower and a willow, and Lu Yuanjun is not distressed?" After tonight, no one wants it......"
"Who said that? Don't worry, I must, when the time comes, I will give you a big gift. Lu Zhu said excitedly.
"Who knows what the old man looks like in office...... I only respect Lu Yuanjun, isn't it good for you to leave me? ”
Lu Zhu raised an extremely asymmetrical face and said, "Don't worry, although that person looks worse than me, he is very young...... Can't I leave you behind, where do I want to find someone like you? ”
…… After the carriage stopped, the white-haired woman's expression was cold, and she suddenly lifted the curtain, but she was immediately stunned. I saw several rows of ironclad cavalry standing outside, with torches, the bright light armor shining in the firelight, and the metallic luster on the Mo knife was cold.
Seeing the white-haired woman's movements, Lu Zhu sneered: "Lao Tzu has long seen that you are pretending to please me, why, do you want to run?" There are hundreds of cavalry within a radius of ten miles, where are you going? ”
The white-haired woman turned her head and smiled, "Who said you want to run...... Yo, what kind of official is this, escorted by a horse team of hundreds of people around Xingyuan? It's not like the Son of Heaven is coming, so you have to be careful. Maybe the Son of Heaven has taken a fancy to me, and he will be a concubine or something, hehe. ”
Lu Zhu snorted, jumped out of the car, found a general to explain, and then a team of people came and escorted the car into the camp.
After a while, Lu Tingshi suddenly felt that something was wrong, as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't think of anything wrong. He shook his head, glanced at the night sky, and was about to enter the camp, when he saw a soldier next to him looking at his chest with strange eyes, he looked down casually, and with a sigh in his heart, his face turned white: there was a cut in his chest......
He hurriedly groped his chest with his hands, and it was empty, and there was nothing...... But today he clearly put an account in his underwear.
That delicate little lady just now!
Lu Tingshi was in a hurry, hurriedly trotted into the camp, and chased to Xue Chongxun's tent, at this time he was blown by the cold wind, his brain cleared up a little, and he immediately stopped, explained a few words to a general outside, and called an entourage and said: "Hurry back to Ruzhou City immediately, ask Liu Ba!" Where did the prettiest little lady get it! With that, he immediately turned around and went to the tent of Liu An, the household servant.
When he ran into the tent, Liu An was sitting under the lamp reading a book. Liu An glanced at Lu Tingshi's appearance and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Lu Tingshi fell to his knees and said with a sad face: "Liu Yuanjun, it's not good, my account book has been stolen!" ”
"What ledger?" Liu An put down the book in his hand.
Lu Tingshi said: "It is the money accounts of wealthy families from all over Ruzhou in order to escape from the errand soldiers. Because there are too many people, the number is huge, so I have recorded each in the book, today Liu Zhijun came to Ruzhou, I want to report the account to you by the way, discuss the matter of dividends...... I have always been careful to put in my underwear, but when I met a little lady in the carriage, I took advantage of my unpreparedness, tore my clothes, and stole the account book...... You see, that's it. As he spoke, he cried and pulled his clothes to show Liu An.
"Where is the little lady now?" Liu Antie asked with a blushing face.
"In the account of the Duke of Weiguo...... I didn't alarm Wei Guogong, I discussed it with Liu Yuanjun first, why don't you watch it first, and wait for them to come out and take it quietly? ”
Liu An paced a few steps: "It must be the prince's side waiting for the opportunity to search for evidence!" Waiting for her to come out? If I were that assassin and I was under siege, I would definitely use the method of holding Wei Guogong hostage! This matter can't be hidden from Wei Guogong...... Anyway, I was thinking about when I would tell him about the river trough, right now! ”
Lu Tingshi nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, she must think so!" Previously, she took advantage of the abnormality of the table, and must have wanted to use the method of holding me hostage, but at that time, I didn't find out that the account books were stolen, and she heard that there was a bigger official above, so she obediently went in. ”
Indeed, if the white-haired woman holds Lu Zhu hostage, it is very likely that she is just pulling a cushion, and the people above will take into account the "overall situation" and ignore Lu Zhen's life or death.
Liu An snorted coldly, left his seat, and walked outside, and Lu Jianshi hurriedly followed.
……
As soon as the six or seven girls entered the account, unfortunately Sanniang was still next to Xue Chongxun, Sanniang glanced at it, and immediately shouted: "Seventh sister, don't move!" If you dare to take a step forward, I'll call someone right away! ”
Xue Chongxun didn't know Sanniang's seventh sister Bai Wuchang, and when he was in the City God Temple last time, Bai Wuchang got a lot of things on his face and pretended to be an old woman, and Xue Chongxun didn't know what she looked like at all. Hearing what Sanniang said, he asked with some surprise, "Who is the seventh sister?" ”
"It's Bai Impermanence, I met that one last time I went back to the City God Temple." Sanniang's hand reached into her arms, staring intently at Bai Wuchang.
Xue Chongxun immediately turned around and took the horizontal knife in his hand, and said with a smile: "I can play with you this time." He said as he followed Sanniang's gaze to the woman. He was a little surprised, he didn't expect this female Jianghu to look very pure.
This woman is afraid of comparison, if the six or seven girls present look at them one by one, they all look good, but when they are put together, they will be judged, and everyone else will be compared to Bai Impermanence...... This is probably the reason why women like to find female partners who are uglier than themselves, right? However, if Bai Wuchang had the opportunity to stand with Princess Jincheng, the same tragedy would happen to her.
I tried Bai Wuchang's skills last time, and now Xue Chongxun has a knife in his hand, Sanniang by his side, and a large number of guards outside the tent...... So he didn't panic at all and had a smile on his face.
Bai Wuchang looked at Xue Chongxun and Sanniang, and said helplessly: "Such a coincidence......"
Xue Chongxun thought for a while and said, "You shouldn't have come here to assassinate me, what are you doing here?" ”
Bai Wuchang said: "You're right, of course I'm not here to assassinate you, I was stupid to come here and throw myself into the net...... If I want your life, why did I let you go last time? ”
Xue Chongxun laughed and said: "Don't think that I will thank you for that last time, I lived a good life, I was shot by someone and almost died, do I have to thank you?" You won't be able to run away this time. ”
"Don't worry, let's talk and discuss, I will never move." Bai Wuchang said hurriedly.
Xue Chongxun said: "I am a sword, you are a fish and meat, is there anything to discuss?" Now you're in the net, you don't have a chance, you can do whatever I want. ”
