Chapter 4: The Past Tells the Past
Mo Wushuang asked in disbelief, "Is it her?" ”
Yang Wuji said: "This time, my subordinates investigated in many ways and found Ruyi, the personal palace person of the main mother, and the lord will know when he asks. ”
Mo Wushuang nodded and motioned for him to bring someone up. In a moment a woman in her fifties walked in, trembling with fear, her clothes were torn and dirty, and the fishy smell of the vegetable market became stronger the farther she went.
Mo Wushuang covered his nose slightly, he beckoned her to stop, so she stopped at a distance of about three meters between the two, knelt in front of Mo Wushuang and lowered her head.
Mo Wushuang asked, "You are the palace man who served my mother, Concubine Shu, back then?" Look up at me. ”
Ruyi looked up tremblingly, her face crawling with scars, which was shocking. The face is disfigured. Even if it was an old man back then, I was afraid that he wouldn't recognize that this woman was actually a participant in the palace secrets back then, how did Yang Wuji know about it?
Yang Wuji said: "Lord, although this Ruyi appearance is completely ruined, but you look at her right hand, it is a tattoo that only people in the palace have." ”
The woman slowly lifted her clothes, her hands were shriveled and the whole skin was loosely wrapped around her bones, but as Yang Wuji said, there was a rose tattooed on the woman's right hand.
All the palace maids who enter the palace to serve in the Liang, the eunuchs will have tattoo logos, the women are roses, and the men are snakes, which are colored with the unique blue and purple of the Liang Palace, and tattooed on the wrists, which can avoid the palace from being mixed with spies.
Ruyi suddenly burst into tears, unable to cry, she trembled and shouted: "Fourth Highness." ”
"Fourth Highness" Facing this unfamiliar title, Mo Wushuang suddenly felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it, and after thinking about it, he found nothing.
Ruyi continued: "Fourth Highness, the old slave is looking for you so hard, the old slave is guilty, and he failed to protect the concubine, please treat the old slave's sin." ”
"Ruyi", "Four Highnesses", "Guifei Niangniang" all this, Mo Wushuang has no memory, what is this woman talking about, what kind of memory is it, why can't he remember anything?
Ruyi looked at the dazed Mo Wushuang and said, "Has the Fourth Highness forgotten?" The old slave is the Ruyi aunt who served the concubine and yours back then, and the fourth highness has been naughty since childhood, but he is very smart. Don't you remember? When you were a child, you climbed to the tree to dig out birds' eggs, and accidentally fell down, and it was the old slave who cushioned under you, so you were in no danger. And you liked the old slave I made the osmanthus cake for you, once you secretly ran to the kitchen, scared the old slave, the scissors on the board fell down, cut your left little thumb, when the old slave was frightened, go to the concubine Niangniang to ask for sin, you feel sorry for me, and lied to the mother that he accidentally scratched...... Fourth Highness, have you forgotten? ”
Mo Wushuang's heart sank, there was indeed a scar on the first joint of his left little thumb, which was not obvious, even Yang Wuji, who was extremely close to him, did not know. The woman in front of her knew that it was obvious that she was not lying, but she did not have the slightest impression of everything she said.
Ruyi touched her tears and smiled, the face full of scars didn't look so terrifying at the moment, she said happily: "The old slave just saw you, and recognized you as the Fourth Highness, because only the old slave knows that the eyes of the Fourth Highness are different from others, Your Highness was born with jaundice, and the eyes are yellow, although he was later healed by the imperial doctor, but your eyes are not as dark as others, but a little yellow." ”
The person in front of him, Mo Wushuang, didn't have the slightest impression, but the tone of her voice made Mo Wushuang feel so familiar, and this long-lost familiarity made him a little distracted for a while.
Yang Wuji said: "Lord, why don't you take a rest first, people have already brought, don't rush at this time." ”
Mo Wushuang nodded, the truth was in front of him, but at this moment he needed to ease down for a moment, for the first time in many years, he had a trace of fear, that was the fear of the past.
"Shadow Chase." Mo Wushuang shouted, and Liang Cheng walked in.
"Stay here, anyone who dares to come in and kill." Mo Wushuang said coldly.
Chasing Ying was guarding his bedside, his body was full of murderous energy, no one dared to come in at this time, even Yang Wuji, he didn't have the courage to fight with a knife that was out of his master's control, because it wouldn't end well.
Mo Wushuang's even breathing sounded, he had fallen asleep, but his brows were still tightly locked. Even in a dream, this person still can't let go.
Zhuying looked at him a little sluggishly, he picked up a blanket from the bed and covered him gently, his movements were very light, and his whole body was tense, for fear of accidentally touching Mo Wushuang and disturbing him.
But Mo Wushuang still woke up, he suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed Zhuying's neck, looked at the blanket in the sluggish Zhuying's hand, he let go of his hand, and muttered: "A living corpse, I still know that I feel distressed." ”
"Stay away from me, don't get so close." Mo Wushuang ordered, and the shadow took two steps back sluggishly, a little afraid.
From the first general of Daliang, the Marquis of Anding, who shocked the Quartet, to a murderous blade in Mo Wu's hands, an obedient dog, Liang Cheng has changed not only his name and appearance, but everything, now he is chasing shadows, Mo Wushuang's secret guard, and a first-class killer in the Heavenly Dao.
"The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the reeds are like snow and snow. The reed knows the wind and the rain the most. The reeds are high, the reeds are long, and the reeds are playing hide-and-seek...... Brother, am I singing correctly? ”
"A-Yuan sings so well......"
"Hee-hee...... Can that brother not go, and stay with A-Yuan. ”
……
"Brother, don't go...... Don't go...... Mo Wushuang woke up from his dream, "Who is that person, why do you call yourself A-Yuan, right...... Is that kid himself? But why don't I remember anything? Mo Wushuang thought back to the scene in the dream while mentally saying.
Seeing Mo Wushuang wake up from his nightmare, Shadow Chase walked quickly to his bed, and shouted sluggishly, "Master." ”
Chaying's words interrupted Mo Wushuang's thoughts, and he glared at Chaying with extreme displeasure and said, "Get out of here...... Wait a minute, go find Yang Wuji, I have something to find him. ”
Chasing Ying timidly retreated, and in a moment Yang Wuji walked in, he stood straight in front of the window, looking into the distance, as if thoughtful.
Mo Wushuang straightened his clothes, came to his side and said, "What are you hiding from me?" ”
Mo Wushuang's voice was not loud, but his indifferent tone always carried a hint of questioning.
Yang Wuji still maintained that gentle smile between his eyebrows, and thought for a moment: "My subordinates don't know what the master means?" ”
Mo Wushuang said coldly: "How did you find Ruyi?" ”
Yang Wuji turned his head to look at Mo Wushuang and said, "What?" The Lord does not believe in the power of his subordinates? ”
Mo Wushuang said quietly: "Finding someone is not as good as killing someone, killing people requires ruthlessness, but finding people requires patience." ”
Yang Wuji couldn't help but smile and said, "You forget that I am Yang Wuji, my sword is Qiushui, and I have patience." ”
Mo Wushuang sighed and said, "That's right, but if the other party is a fugitive with a self-destructive face, it will be different, I noticed that her right hand is different from ordinary people." ”
Yang Wuji asked, "What's the difference?" ”
Mo Wushuang's eyes flickered: "The muscles of her right hand have atrophied, indicating that she deliberately avoided using her right hand." ”
Yang Wuji said: "Maybe I don't want others to find out about the tattoos on her hands." ”
Mo Wushuang withdrew his gaze from the window, he turned his head to stare at Yang Wuji and said, "You're right, a person who would rather disfigure himself to save his life, why should he keep the tattoos on his hands?" ”
Yang Wuji was a little speechless, and he didn't know how to answer.
Mo Wushuang sneered: "I'll tell you, so that one day I can stand in front of me and tell the story of the year." ”
The smile on Yang Wuji's face was still there, but it was a little far-fetched and uncomfortable.
Mo Wushuang continued: "Don't you think it's strange how a court lady can escape in the heavily guarded palace and survive? ”
Yang Wuji agreed: "It's indeed a little strange. ”
Mo Wushuang said coldly: "Who helped her leave the palace, and who sent her to me with your hand, don't you have anything to say about all this?" ”
Facing Mo Wushuang's questioning, Yang Wuji was quite surprised and said, "Isn't the Lord suspicious, all this was arranged by his subordinates?" ”
Mo Wushuang's voice was cold, but his gaze was even colder, and meeting his gaze, Yang Wuji felt like cold ice on his face.
Mo Wushuang said in a soft tone: "Brother Yang, after the death of the master for so many years, only you have always been by my side, whether I am good or bad, I have always remembered this kindness." ”
Talking about the past, Mo Wushuang's expression was extraordinarily gentle, Yang Wuji didn't speak, his thoughts seemed to have returned to many years ago.
After a while, Yang Wuji said: "I know, since the death of the master, you don't believe anyone...... But you and I have been supporting each other for many years, and if you even doubt me, you will kill me directly, and I will never complain. ”
Mo Wushuang said: "It's not that I don't believe you, I'm afraid...... When a person is used to being afraid, he will be cautious everywhere. I'm afraid that all this is a well-arranged game by one person, and you and I are just pieces of others. ”
Mo Wushuang sighed, if he made a mistake, he would lose everything, he couldn't make a mistake, not the slightest.
Yang Wuji hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Lord, I'll go and interrogate Na Ruyi, and I will make this matter clear." ”
Mo Wushuang shook his head and said: "No need to go, she can't ask anything, what she said can probably be believed, you can buy her a good coffin and bury her." ”
As soon as these words came out, Yang Wuji's expression changed instantly, "The Lord said she died?" Because of excessive surprise, Yang Wuji's voice was a little out of tune.
