CHAPTER XXI
There was no response around, only the small sound of the wind blowing the leaves, slowly echoing in the cold air. Xiao Yezi didn't want to stay any longer, and turned to leave, when suddenly there was a bright light all around, and several steel knives were silently placed in her neck. It turned out that someone had already been ambushed here, just waiting for Xiao Ye to come. With a smile, the two women slowly came out of the woods and walked in front of Xiao Yezi. One in a yellow dress is cold and arrogant, and the other is smiling in a red dress, it is Xue Yue and Gao Yunrong.
Gao Yunrong smiled and opened her mouth first: "Xiao Yezi, hello." β
Xiao Yezi smiled slightly: "Miss Gao is good." Hello Miss Xue. β
Gao Yunrong gently raised her hand and pulled her sideburns, and said leisurely: "You're not afraid." It's really rare. β
Xiao Yezi smiled: "What am I afraid of?" I'm not caring, unlike you. β
Gao Yunrong chuckled: "People say that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, but they are talking about you Xiaoyezi." But I'm skeptical that it's really fearless. I heard that there is a little brother of the Li family who is your heart. These days, you're not afraid of no shoes to wear, and it's not good if you don't have meat to eat, right? β
Threaten me with Li Li? Xiao Yezi's mind quickly turned, and he suddenly smiled: "Die of hunger or starvation, aren't they all dead?" If you have something to say, you can let it go, and if you have a tone, you don't have to waste time. β
Gao Yunrong didn't expect her to be so good, her eyes widened, and she looked surprised: "Yo! Yo! Are you a woman? Speak so vulgarly. I don't know what Gang Leader Xiao likes about you, and he actually promoted you to such a level. It was an eye-opener for our sisters. β
The corners of Xiao Yezi's mouth twitched, and he smiled: "I have won awards." Maybe the Xiao gang leader was tired of listening to the elegant tone of the demon, and suddenly found that there were still people in the world who refused to go along with the fawning and flattering the powerful, but it made him refreshed. β
Gao Yunrong smiled: "You speak very politely. Anyway, I'm also your senior. β
Xiao Yezi smiled coldly: "You send it down with a knife, my soul will return to the West Heaven, the dead are great, and I will become your senior, why don't you call me respectfully Xiao Yezi senior, how about practicing your mouth and being familiar?" Lest you get your mouth slapped, your sharp camp is not good-looking. β
Gao Yunrong took a steel knife, gently sent it forward, and said with a smile: "Nonsense, aren't you afraid that I will give you a knife?" β
Xiao Yezi only felt that the coldness on his neck was getting stronger, and it was faintly painful. But she is such a temperamental person, the more she is coerced, the more she refuses to admit defeat, and the more she has to fight with others, immediately her eyes rolled, and she smiled: "You can do it!" Let's see if Gang Leader Xiao likes you more, or likes me more. β
Gao Yunrong was stunned: "What does it matter?" β
Xiao Yezi shrugged his shoulders, squinted at Gao Yunrong, and said, "You are still a close servant, I can't imagine that your brain is like this." The alternate attendants are all beautiful and powerful. I'm a mountain village girl, how can I have so many resources to compete with you for status? It's a pity that it's such a coincidence that I, who is despised by you, was selected as a close attendant, and I was appointed to serve the Xiao Gang Master's diet and daily life. Wise servant, you say, why is that? β
The corners of Gao Yunrong's mouth twitched, and her long eyebrows raised: "Even if Gang Master Xiao likes you again, so what." He's not here now. I killed you without knowing it, and who knows? β
Xiao Yezi smiled, his mouth furrowed, and his eyes glanced at Xue Yue: "If you kill me, you can indeed do it without knowing it." But she doesn't have to. β
Xue Yue had been observing from the sidelines, and finally spoke at this time: "The grievances between the two of you have nothing to do with me. β
"I'm afraid that if you want to be alone, Miss Gao won't agree. Otherwise, why would she drag you along? Xiao Yezi smiled sweetly, "You said it was nothing about you, I don't think so." All day Wang Gang, who doesn't rumor that I am Yang Yizhao's new lover? You are his fiancΓ©e, and you are my new servant. Such a complex and conflicting relationship, even if you don't admit it, others will think that the two of us must be-for-tat, and if you don't do it, you still won't die. I'm a newcomer, and I have no grievances with others, and I only have some grudges with you. If you let Gao Yunrong kill me today, the first person in the gang to suspect is you. Miss Xue, you'd better wipe your beautiful eyes and see clearly. The Miss Gao next to you, her sisters and sisters are so happy in her mouth, I don't know if she really treats you as a sister in her heart? We can all memorize the ten precepts of the Heavenly King Gang, so I don't know which of the ten precepts is called to ask people to carry the black cauldron? β
Xue Yue glanced at Gao Yunrong and said coldly: "Clever words, clever words." Hum! Gao Yunrong's face turned cold, and she said with a smile: "You are quite good at talking." No wonder it can confuse men. β
Xiao Yezi smiled like a flower: "Didn't you say that I confused men?" Although I didn't dedicate myself to my position, I have to have some skills to be worthy of your praise to get such a high evaluation. I don't have money or talent, but I finally have a brain that has been growing for more than ten years. Do you think I'm so stupid that I didn't leave any clues? Maybe you underestimate me. My martial arts skills are low, and I have left a lot of footprints along the way, and if someone looks for me, they will be able to follow me here. What's more, I have already sprinkled marks along the way, but I am afraid that now the Xiao Gang Leader has come to me along the way. β
Gao Yunrong's smile paused, she reached out and searched for Xiao Yezi, and immediately turned out the tea leaves in her purse. Gao Yunrong's face turned pale, and she threw the tea leaves on the ground with hatred. Xiao Yezi grinned: "You quickly let me go, so as not to be embarrassed when facing Gang Leader Xiao." β
Before the words fell, Ling Xuan's voice came from a distance: "Sister Xiao Yezi? Sister Xiaoyezi? β
Xiao Yezi stared at Gao Yunrong's eyes, smiled lightly, and suddenly raised her voice and shouted, "Here!" β
Gao Yunrong gritted her teeth with hatred, waved her hand, and removed all the steel knives. As soon as he finished withdrawing, Xiao Yunxi and Ling Xuan and his party had already appeared in Xiao Yezi's sight.
Yunxi's face was cold, and he couldn't see what he was thinking. Gao Yunrong, Xue Yue and others hurriedly stepped forward to pay respects: "See the helper!" β
I only heard Yun Xi say: "It's dark at night, what are you doing here?" β
When Gao Yunrong was thinking about how to answer, Xiao Yezi smiled and said, "Back to the helper, the two sisters are testing me." β
Yunxi seemed to be quite surprised by this answer, and raised his eyebrows: "Test you?" β
Xiao Yezi walked in front of Yunxi, leaned over and saluted, and said eloquently: "Xiao Yezi has been joining the Heavenly King Gang for a short time, although I am fortunate to be favored by the sect leader, but Sister Yun Rong and Sister Xue Yue, as close attendants, cannot but strictly consider Xiao Yezi's various abilities to see if they can really share the worries of the gang leader." The most important thing in this first item is, of course, loyalty or not. Sister Yun Rong and Sister Xue Yue set up this heavy exam question just now...... "She glanced at the guards with knives and said with a smile, "It's just to test Xiao Yezi to see if I can be wholeheartedly loyal to the helper." β
The corners of Yunxi's mouth twitched, and he smiled: "Oh? Did you pass the exam? β
Gao Yunrong hurriedly stepped forward and responded: "Naturally, it's passed." Sister Xiao Yezi was personally selected by the helper, so how could she disappoint the helper. β
Yun Xi smiled, and his emotions could not be seen in his smile: "That's good." You've worked hard, too. Rest early. Xiaoyezi, you come with me. After speaking, Yun Xi turned around and slowly went back along the way he came, and Ling Xuan and the others hurriedly followed.
Xiao Yezi turned his head and glanced at Gao Yunrong and Xue Yue, not daring to stay for a long time, so he chased after Yunxi. She followed Yunxi all the way to Zhao Yuanxuan, where he lived. Yunxi arrived in time just now, which made Xiao Yezi very grateful and relaxed a little. Entering the house, she looked around, everything was the same, but on the wall behind Yunxi, there was an extra calligraphy scroll, and the pen style handwriting silkworm head and goose tail revealed a kind of classical stability. The scroll is not signed, but stamped with the words "Yunying Xijing". I think it's Yunxi's own work.
When he was appreciating, Yun Xiping retreated, leaving only the small leaves to be with him. When Xiao Yezi noticed it, Ling Xuan had already closed the door and left. At first glance, when the two of them were alone, she unnaturally began to get nervous again. Thinking about the self-performance before "Heroes Save Beauty" just now, Xiao Yezi is even bigger than his head.
In fact, when she faced Xue Yue and Gao Yunrong just now, although she played smoothly, she was mostly making up quibbles, especially what to leave tea as a clue and so on. At that time, she patronized and chased, and there were footprints, but the tea leaves or something, it was really unbelievable. As for the Xiao Gang Leader coming to her, it was also her delaying tactic. If he is gone, Ling Xuan will definitely look for it, but Yunxi may not. However, in the face of Gao Yunrong and others, if they move out of Lingxuan alone, they are afraid that the amount will not be enough. Anyway, seeing that Ling Xuan is Yun Xi's cronies, Ling Xuan came to find it, not just Yun Xi came to find it, and it was not a lie. Unexpectedly, Yunxi really found it by himself, which was a big surprise. But I used him as a shield so loudly just now, I don't know if he heard it. If you hear it, you're really embarrassed, and you have to think about how to explain it.
I saw Yunxi slowly sitting at the desk and smiling gently: "Help me pour me a cup of tea, okay?" β
Xiao Yezi saw that he didn't ask, and he didn't want to slap his face to explain, so he had to pretend to smile sweetly: "Okay." She turned to make tea, still choosing the most ordinary kind of tea. Yunxi smiled and watched her make tea for a long time, and suddenly asked: "Why don't you choose a good tea like Biluo Chunlongjing, but make me such ordinary tea?" β
This can be asked about the inverted leaves, how can this be answered? Do you honestly say that you still owe effort to make good tea, and don't want to be too timid? This is the helper, so it must be the rhythm of death. If you answer, "I saw you put this kind of tea in the retreat last time", you will inevitably have a suspicion of climbing the relationship, and if the tea is not put by him, you will not bump into the tofu. Fortunately, she was now facing away from Yunxi, and Yunxi couldn't see the change on her face, so she pretended to be calm and said: "The helper usually drinks good tea, and occasionally changes it, I think if it is the helper, maybe I can taste a different taste?" β
As soon as this sentence came out, with the cunning and boldness of the fledgling sword, it unexpectedly amused Yunxi. Yunxi smiled sincerely: "They said that you have a sweet mouth, and it is true." He smiled and took the tea handed by Xiao Yezi, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Even this tea is sweet, it seems that whoever makes the tea is like whom." β
Xiao Yezi didn't take credit either, and smiled innocently: "The helper has won the award." β
Yunxi took another sip, put down the teacup, and asked casually, whether intentionally or unintentionally: "Is there any danger tonight, are you happy?" β
Xiao Yezi didn't dare to treat him as unintentional, his eyes rolled, and he thought to himself, this is finally the right question, so he pretended to be stupid at the moment, pouted, and said with a smile: "Helper, it won't be this play arranged by you, deliberately trying to test me, right?" The little leaf has no second heart for you. β
Yunxi smiled: "You're smart and tight, I don't have to try, and you won't have it." β
Xiao Yezi saw that he was in a good mood, and immediately got off the donkey: "It's better to help the master gain insight." β
Yunxi stared at her eyes and smiled: "You don't need to call me the helper, you call me the helper in front of people, and you still call me Yunxi in the future." β
Xiao Yezi grinned, seeing that Yun Xi's expression was not like a temptation, since he had a request, he was also willing to obey: "Okay." But she knew that it would be impossible to call him Yunxi directly in the future, so she didn't call him by his name. Now she started another topic: "I want to ask, how did you find me?" β
Yunxi smiled: "Your light skills are too poor, but your reasoning skills are not bad." It's all too easy to find your tracks. But I didn't see tea or anything on the road. Your ability to adapt to changes is really good. β
Xiao Yezi was praised by Yunxi, and was a little embarrassed in her heart, so she only smiled faintly: "No matter how improvised, I am just playing tricks on them, how can I hide it from you?" β
Yun Xi smiled, his eyes suddenly deepened, but his tone was light: "Is it true that Yang Yizhao's new lover is also true?" β
Xiao Yezi pursed his lips, turned his head to the side, waved his hand, and said without thinking at all: "I told you a long time ago, Yang Yizhao is not my dish at all." Believe it or not. β
Yun Xi stood up at this time, and smiled gently: "Teasing you." Today you did a good job, reward you next. He turned around and took a flat bookcase from the bookshelf and handed it to her: "My preferences are written in it, so you don't have to think about it later." It's a mess today, so let's go back and rest. - By the way, I've already arranged for Ling Xuan to pick up your luggage from the Liren Pavilion. Rest assured. β
Xiao Yezi smiled and saluted: "Xiao Yezi farewell." With that, he left the room and went all the way back to his residence with the bookcase in his hand.
She didn't enter the door, but just nestled in the corner outside the dwelling, secretly opening the box. The thin handbook inside the box, the handwriting seems to be consistent with the calligraphy works on the Yunxi wall. She flipped through a few pages, full of records of personal preferences. Could it be that this is a memo specially prepared by Yunxi for himself? Tell yourself everything in this way β his preferences, his concerns, his life.
When he was moved with emotion, Xiao Yezi found that there was a mezzanine in the bookbox. She plucked her hairpin and pried open the mezzanine, and a string of cool things slid down the box and into the placket of her dress. She hurriedly stretched out her hand to take out the string, and she could see clearly under the starlight, it was a string of bracelets, eighteen white jade beads were shining brightly, each of them was translucent and pure, and there was a faint white halo flowing in the dark, which was extraordinarily beautiful. She felt a little familiar, and looked at the style of the hand, which seemed to be the string she had given to the servant woman in the morning. How could this hand be here in Yunxi? Don't...... He sent it in the first place? This handpiece can't see any beauty during the day, but it has its own brilliance at night, is this the night pearl mentioned in the play?
Yunxi also prepared such a surprise for herself, how could she not be happy when she thought of it? But in a blink of an eye, she remembered Li Li and Du Juan'er, and her heart sank again.
She held the handbook and the white jade handpiece tightly in her hand, knowing that today's level had finally passed. With Yunxi's favor, he can temporarily have a place in Shanglingyan.
She looked at the dark sky outside the wall, and her heart was melancholy. In the past, it was necessary to live in order to live left and right, but now it is not the same to rely on strength to survive. Nianfei Village or the Tianwang Gang, what is the difference between her? At the thought of this, the pleasure of the surprise just now became insignificant. Yunxi is not a high ridge, but Yunxi is far worse than a high ridge. This kind of tangled and complicated feelings, at this moment, I am afraid that she is the only one who knows.
