Chapter 12: The First Encounter (I)

Dan Yang just drilled through the wall with his hands and feet, and without waiting to stand up straight, he suddenly felt a strong wind on his head? !

She instinctively rolled on the spot, and as soon as she ducked aside, she turned around and saw that a dead branch the thickness of her arm was poking at the place where she was originally located, at least three inches into the ground!

Seeing this scene, Danyang's scalp tightened, and even the pain of hitting the injured foot when dodging was lightened for a moment.

If she was stabbed in the vital point, or wiped her face, the consequences would make her dare not think about it.

And the next glance, after sweeping the dead branches, it turned out to be her very familiar skirt......

The moment Zizhu poked hard, he closed his eyes for fear of seeing blood and to avoid screaming in fright.

But she hadn't heard a strange sound for a long time, and she opened her eyes strangely, but it reflected the person she had been longing to see!

"The county lord? That's great! You're finally back! Hey, how did you get back? ”

After a low cheer, Zizhu realized that his master, who had always been exquisite, was extremely embarrassed.

His hair was messy, covered with dead branches and grass, and his face was like a cat, and he was covered with stains left by sweat mixed with ash and soil, not to mention the clothes on his body.

This appearance is not much different from the beggars in the City God Temple in the west, well, except for the clothes.

"You, you're ......"

Danyang saw Zizhu's worried and stunned expression, sighed helplessly in his heart, shook his head and stretched out his hand and said:

"......, forget it, don't ask anything. Help me back to the car first, then go buy a basin of hot water, and then call back to the coachman, and we will go home immediately. ”

Although she remembered the rumors in later generations that Lixiangyuan was sealed after the arrest of Xiao Ren, the prince of Anyang, what was found in that private room today, as well as the quiet atmosphere around her, gave her a bad premonition.

Incidentally, this Dongjie Temple also made her feel that it was a place where she should not stay for a long time.

Although Zizhu was worried and confused, seeing that her county lord was still in good spirits, and the serious and tense atmosphere around her made her unable to ask more.

But when she knew that Danyang had sprained her foot, she couldn't care about obeying Danyang's previous instructions - to keep a low profile, lean over directly, pick up the little master on her back, pull her legs and gallop to the carriage waiting outside the temple.

Fortunately, now that the sun is getting higher and higher, it is also time for normal pilgrims to come to worship, and there are many poor students who are physically weak, or who are sick and need support to pray.

Mixed in such a crowd, Danyang and the two are not too conspicuous.

————

At three o'clock in the morning, the master and servant of Danyang, who sneaked out of the door while the chaos, finally returned to the princess's mansion.

"County Lord, you're back!"

Danyang twisted his foot, so he let the carriage drive directly to the second gate.

I thought that Mama Zhou, who had received the news, would ask her to return to Qishuangge to find it, but I didn't expect that before the car stopped, Mama Zhou's voice came into the carriage.

The moment Danyang heard this, he sighed greatly in his heart.

Zizhu almost jumped up, "Oh no! County Lord, the eldest princess must know! ”

"What should I do? Not only did you sneak out of the house, but you were also injured. The skin of the slave and maid, woo, will definitely not be able to keep it. Maybe he will be driven out of the house directly by Mama Feng, no, it is more likely to be killed directly with a cane! Or is it smoked into a mashed meat? Woowoo woo ......"

Danyang rubbed the corners of her forehead with a headache, seeing that Zizhu, who was so panicked that she had no master, and Zizhu, who was crying in a low voice, was really about to cry, and as soon as she raised her hand, she slapped the other party on the back.

"The waist is straight, and the sky hasn't fallen yet."

I don't know if it was her composure or the slap that worked, Zizhu stopped crying in an instant, but her eyes were still red.

After there was no magic sound piercing his ears, Danyang's headache was also much better.

She stretched out her hand to Zizhu, and at the same time turned her head to look at the carved tung oil wood door, and chuckled eagerly:

"Follow me, nothing will happen."

After getting out of the car, Mama Zhou really stepped forward immediately and "escorted" the two of them straight to Mingxiaju.

But because Danyang directly stated that she had a foot injury, she was actually temporarily transferred to the shoulder and carried in front of the eldest princess of Qinghe.

And after this toss, it was enough for all the people who should be in front of the eldest princess of Qinghe at this moment to get the letter, and they came first.

Therefore, when Danyang helped the trembling Zizhu into the main hall where her mother lived, and saw Mama Feng and Steward Sun, she was not surprised at all.

At this moment, a glance swept across the main hall, except for the eldest princess Qinghe, who was still indifferent, everyone's reaction was quite expected.

"Mother Lao is worried, Danyang is back."

Danyang according to the number of past rituals, to the mother who was sitting on the top, a salute.

Elegant and unchaotic demeanor, if it weren't for the fact that everyone had been reported earlier, and I saw her hobbling around holding the maid's hand before, no one would have seen that Danyang had a foot injury.

Because of this scene, the eyes of Gujing Wubo flashed a rare light, but they quickly disappeared into invisibility.

At this time, without waiting for Danyang to stand up straight, Mama Feng had already taken a step forward arrogantly, bowed down and said:

"Eldest princess Qiyu, the slave and maid have been derelict in their duties so far, please punish Your Highness severely."

Although the words are humble, whether it is a proud attitude or a state of nervousness that should have been in admitting mistakes, you don't need to think much to know that this is a trick to retreat.

And its purpose is naturally to be in the back - or the eldest princess herself directly punishes the county lord of Danyang, or the eldest princess can't bear it, and Mama Feng herself will force the palace.

Danyang heard the words but was still not in a hurry, and Shi Shiran got up.

Sure enough, Mama Feng had already heard the news and knew that she was going to take action against her family's power, so she had to strike first.

The eldest princess of Qinghe sat upright, and after her cold gaze only moved lightly to Danyang for a moment, she turned back to Mama Feng and asked lightly:

"Oh, why did Mama say that? What did you do wrong? ”

Before Mama Feng got up, the disdainful gaze in her half-drooping eyes swept through the bluestone floor tiles in front of her, and in an instant, she turned to the back where Danyang was standing.

At the same time, she opened her mouth beside her and replied:

"The slave and maid were not strict in their rule, and they let the county lord run out of the house without permission, which is a big mistake. And if the reputation of the county lord for misconduct spreads, the slave and maid will die and will not be able to escape the crime. ”

Because Mama Feng is facing Danyang, her back is facing the head, and the idlers in the main hall have already been sent out. Therefore, when she said these words, she did not even hide the disdain in her eyes.

Such an unruly noblewoman, the princess's mansion is willing to raise it, but don't tarnish her good reputation as the lady of the Zhenguo Mansion.

Not to mention, such a hairy girl still wants to get involved in her housekeeping authority.

Really, ridiculous!

But what she didn't expect was that the county lord of Danyang, who didn't dare to raise his head after doing something wrong before, raised his head after being poked in front of him this time, and got up without panic.

And the bright and sharp eyes that don't dodge or dodge are shooting straight at her!

At this moment, Mama Feng's uncontrollable back hair stood up, like a prey being targeted by a fierce beast.
