Chapter 41: The Second Round
"Your Excellency, your subordinates followed Miss until the long street in front of the gate of Xiao Guogong's mansion, where the emperor's secret guards were all over, and the subordinates were afraid of being recognized, so they waited there for a long time, and did not see Miss come out again, they should live in that area. The agile coachman knelt on the ground and said to the people in the carriage, "Let your subordinates go and find out again." ”
"No need, go back to the palace. The voice of the person in the car was cold, "The old lady of the Xiao family is sick, but there will be no Miss Xiao family to go back to visit the patient, it seems that the plan has been planned in advance!"
"Oops!" I walked forward with my head bored, patronizing and thinking about what to do in order to enter the mansion of Xiao Guogong, when suddenly my nose hurt so much that my eyes were full of gold stars, and I bumped into someone! I covered my nose and subconsciously apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
"Xiao Xuan!?Is that you?" the person I bumped into grabbed my shoulder and asked in a low voice.
I rubbed my nose and tried to turn around, but the palm on my shoulder was firmly clamped, and I couldn't take a step back. Subconsciously, I struggled desperately, like a fish out of the water, jumping with all my strength. So soon, he was discovered!? Are you going to be caught?!
"Xiao Xuan, don't move, I'm Yao Yu!" I was hugged into my arms, and this comfortable voice was inexplicably familiar. I must be in my heart, and when I looked up, I saw a handsome face with eyebrows and eyes, a bright smile, and the hilt of the heavy iron sword behind the shoulder, shining, "Qiao Feng! Oh no, Yao Yu!"
"Why are you here?!"
"Why are you here?!"
We asked in unison, staring at each other with wide eyes.
"Huh!"
"Haha!"
We laughed out loud at the same time.
"I recognized you on the street! I followed you for so long, and you didn't even notice it!" Yao Yu let go of me and motioned for me to follow him, "On the day of Jinshang City, I found someone and rushed back to the snow to save you in an hour." But I only saw arrows and feathers everywhere, and the black-clothed men who fought to the death with the soldiers of Jinshang City, you are gone!"
"I still found your footprints in the plum grove, and the blood sprayed on the branches of the plum tree, and at that time, I regretted dying," Yao Yu looked back at me, "It's good that you have a big life, otherwise I will be restless for the rest of my life." I actually left you there to die!"
"Yaoyu, I ran out of hiding by myself and wanted to go back to Jinshang City to report the news, so I'm worried about you!" I feel guilty, I have forgotten this person to the clouds, and people are still worried about me! This is the word of the people in the rivers and lakes, right!?
"Why are you dressed like this now?I followed you around the entire Xiao Guo Mansion, you want to go in but you can't get in?!" Yao Yu looked relieved and smiled.
"Yao Yu," I stopped and looked at the bright man in the shade of the tree, "I said, I am the eldest lady of the Xiao family, I am in trouble, do you believe it?"
Yao Yu's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and then he found that I had a silent expression, and slowly became solemn, looking at me and nodding cautiously: "I believe it." ”
There was gratitude for being unconditionally believed, and I wiped the mist that involuntarily appeared in my eyes, "I want to sneak in and see my grandfather, but the front and back doors are stared at." ”
"Do you need my help? I can sneak in with you through the wall. Yao Yu glanced at the wall of Xiao Guogong's mansion and lowered his head to stare at me.
"Great!" I was immediately overjoyed, sending charcoal in the snow! But after thinking about it, I timidly looked at Yao Yu, who was raising my eyebrows, "You helped me, I'm afraid it will affect you!"
"Ha!" Yao Yu looked up to the sky and smiled, "The emperor wants to arrest me, but I'm not afraid, I'm afraid of being affected by you!
"Well, I owe you a great favor," I heard, since he was not afraid, and I had no other way to do it at present, so I had to drag him into the water, "I want to go in at once!"
"Easy to do, follow me. As soon as Yao Yu turned around, he walked as fast as he could, and I hurriedly trotted to follow.
The Xiao Guogong Mansion in the imperial capital is only a separate courtyard, although it is not as large as the Xiao Guogong Mansion in the Jinshang City of the Xiao family's own family, but the wall also stretches for several miles.
In a corner of the remote garden, a figure swayed like an eagle falcon, suddenly skimming over the fence and falling into the green shadow of flowers and trees. After a few ups and downs, he approached the main courtyard of Xiao's grandmother and jumped into the patio.
The carved lacquered door of the main house was pushed open a gap, and a small figure squeezed into it with a smoke, heading straight for Old Madam Xiao's bedroom.
"Smack!" Mrs. Xiao, who was washing her face, was so shocked that the handkerchief in her hand fell into the basin, and shouted in a low voice: "Quick, quick, call the old lady and my son in!
After a while, Old Lady Xiao and Xiao Dalang entered Old Lady Xiao's room with a frightened face. After a while, the door of the main house opened, and Old Lady Xiao sent the housekeeper to ask for the imperial doctor, and Old Lady Xiao had a headache!
Under the porch, the maids and maids came and went endlessly, and the big butler stood at the door with his waist crossed, directing the carriage that took the imperial doctor, and turned around and instructed another carriage to pick up the most famous Lang Zhong in the local area.
At this time, inside and outside the courtyard, the mother-in-law who buys medicinal ginseng, the mother-in-law who buys fresh vegetables, the mother-in-law who buys chicken, duck and fish meat, the mother-in-law who is responsible for pulping and laundry, the little girl who transports the water, and the little girl who carries the discarded things, are all huddled together, and they do not give in to each other at the door, shouting and shouting.
This sudden chaos made the eyes of the few staring small traders outside the door widen.
Outside the back wall, Yao Yu had already jumped over the wall with me to meet an approaching carriage. While the gate was still in a mess, Grandma and Mother were already in the carriage and heading out of the city.
The road was unimpeded, and soon they were out of the city gates. I leaned on the carriage relaxed, looked at the grandmother with a calm face, then looked at the dazed mother, and finally looked at the Yao Yu who was driving the horse outside, he was waving the horsewhip heroically, I couldn't help but get carried away with the success of the plan, and laughed.
"My family Xuan'er, I can actually make friends with chivalrous!" Grandma looked at me softly, as amiable as ever, "Thanks to his help, otherwise it would have taken a lot of thought to get out of the Xiao family's courtyard!"
"Mother, what the hell is going on!" The pampered mother was confused, looked at me, and then at my grandmother, and couldn't help asking, "Why do we sneak out of the wall?"
"The emperor has endured it for twenty years, and finally he can't bear it anymore, and he wants to attack the Xiao family and seize the military power!" Grandma is calm and calm, and her aura is graceful and luxurious, and I secretly applaud, "The tragedy of the Lian family's extermination is just around the corner, fortunately, there is Xuan'er, and our Xiao family still has time to escape." ”
