Chapter 24: Hide the Ice in Your Heart
The small noodle restaurant at the entrance of the street under the bridge is old, but the taste is very authentic.
At dusk, four or five tables crowded into the store.
"Are you saying that the man in purple we met in Lishan is the same group as the person who kidnapped you two years ago?" Shocking dust propped his elbows on the table, carefully observing the woman's eyebrows.
The movement of the handkerchief wiping the bamboo chopsticks paused slightly, and Ying Zhichu nodded slightly.
"It should be."
Jingchen couldn't help but sigh twice, shaking his head and commenting, "This is a bit of a waste, you can't stand such a big living person, and their work efficiency is too low." ”
She rolled her eyes speechlessly and placed her polished chopsticks under his nose.
Shocking Skin came over without smiling, "Isn't it because you captured their boss with your beauty that you miss you so much......"
He pulled back his hand with chopsticks abruptly, looked at his palm in confusion, and sure enough, a bead of blood appeared on the flesh.
When is it?
He glanced at the chopsticks, and there was a silver needle under it.
"Ah, such an adult, why are you so careless?" Ying Zhichu looked at the blood beads on his fingers, his face full of unawareness.
Dust's eyes widened in silence and gave a thumbs up halfway.
"Niu, I dare to believe that their boss has never taken a fancy to you, there must be something else."
Ignoring the superfluous words, Ying Zhichu lowered his eyebrows and thought carefully, and considered his mouth.
"Mr. Mu, he told me that if you want to know the inside story of the year, you will go to Jinjia City to find Sikong Lin."
"Mr. Mu, is he also from the Purple Moon Pavilion?"
Ying Zhichu nodded, and his voice was affirmative, "Well, he seems to be a doctor, he can develop some strange medicines, and he can also command some people to do things, and he also asked those people to send me here." ”
"An old man who knows how to make medicines, does he have such a big authority, and their little tricks of drug rats are too serious." Dusty pursed his lips disdainfully, looking disapproving.
The secret guard was personally selected by the emperor, and the five senses and six senses were different from ordinary people, and they were professionally trained, and the recklessness in their bones made them even more rejecting all kinds of clumsy tricks.
Ying Zhichu had seen Yunhua poison more than a dozen bandits with a small amount of medicinal powder, so she didn't think that Purple Moon Pavilion was a petty fight.
It seems that there is a huge conspiracy behind it.
What's more, the poison they planted in their own bodies......
"Hey," Dusty interrupted her thoughts with a wave of his palm, "what are you thinking?" ”
"Nothing." She picked up the teapot and poured a bowl of tea.
Shocking Dust didn't notice that something was wrong, snatched her tea bowl, and took a sip of it himself.
Ying Zhichu frowned slightly, but the men's clothes were outside, and it was inconvenient to deal with him, so he didn't speak awkwardly until he finished drinking, "Then do you know where Sikong's house is?" ”
Hearing the disgust in the woman's words, the young man put the teacup aside and shouted, "How could I not know, are you doubting my ability?" Sikong's family, they live in the town of Wind and Mist outside the city. ”
Ying Zhichu sounded familiar, could it be the town under the Misty Mountain?
She rarely goes out, but she's heard people talk about Misty Mountain before.
"The key is in what capacity do you look for him, he is a man in the rivers and lakes, and he must not ask about the affairs of the court." Shocking dust hid the worry in his words, and felt that he had to be responsible for this matter to the end.
Ying Zhichu was still bowing his head and pondering.
Shocking Dust's eyes turned and he came from his heart, "Hey, that's right." I heard that the old man has an only daughter, and he is very fond of her, so why don't you teach her to dance? ”
"Ridiculous! What kind of body does a man dance? The little second brother who eavesdropped the beef noodles on the table, and hugged Ying Zhichu for the beginning, from just now he saw that this man in dark clothes was always bullying the little brother in green shirts, grabbing chopsticks for a while, and grabbing tea bowls for a while, making him, an outsider, unable to stand it.
"Hey, what's wrong with the man? As a man, you still look down on men! Jingchen was the least afraid of quarrels, so he returned it casually.
Seeing this scene, the boss who settled the account threw down the abacus and hurriedly came out to play the round, "Don't be angry, little brother, he is just straightforward!" ”
Dusty scratched his nose unconvinced, "Boss, this is your fault, you dare to hire this kind of guy, you can't kill more than a dozen guests a day." ”
Ying Zhichu tugged at his sleeve and motioned for mercy.
The boss shook his head disappreciatively and said with a smile: "Actually, he is right, the two guest officers don't know, Miss Sikong's ......."
"What!"
The dust slapped the table, causing a group of guests to be dissatisfied, and they couldn't live in peace no matter how they ate.
The boss frowned, regretting that he had too much to say.
"She's a cripple?"
——
The moon is coming like a shadow.
The misty bath was damp with a silk of incense, and the veil hung down to the ground, covering the ripples in the room.
Leaning lazily on the wall of the pool, his exposed white arms swinging a few strings of warm beads, his red fingertips slid lightly on the water, and then he picked up half of the ice flowers, which melted at the slightest touch.
I don't know when I got used to this problem.
In previous years, the petals of the bath were sent to make sachets, but they loved to hide ice, which was broken into crushed ice and sprinkled on the hot springs, even when the wind was cold.
"Lord, Elder Yuemo asks to see you."
"Hmm."
There was a "squeak" and the door opened.
The sound of footsteps is intimate.
He picked up the jade robe on the ground and wrapped it on his body, the slightest cool and smooth against his skin, and then his cold eyes turned, picked up the long whip next to the candlestick, and threw it out towards the comer.
A blood stain immediately floated on Yue Mo's face, and he knelt on the ground respectfully, not daring to hum softly.
Shirtless and barefoot, stepping on drops of water dripping from wet hair, he walked towards him.
"Oh, you dare to come back?"
The clear voice is sandwiched with disdain, cold silence.
Yue Mo prostrate on the ground, trembling and pleading, "The slave doesn't dare to rebel against the master, the lord spares his life!" ”
With a snap, the long whip fell out like a snake, wandering around him wantonly, and Yue Mo closed his eyes and accepted it.
It wasn't until the moisture in the room cleared that the whip was thrown to the ground.
The moonlight was long, sprinkled on the cool steps, and the stained blood on the floor became more and more bewitching.
"Lord...... Spare your life. Yue Mo trembled, leaning towards him on the floor.
Unclothed pulled away his slightly dry hair and pinned it behind his ear, and smiled contemptuously, "It's a fool, get up." ”
"Yes." Yue Moxiu's eyebrows furrowed, she supported the ground hard, and stood up trembling and crooked, with a respectful expression.
Lying on the soft couch without clothes, his voice was as if he was tired, "Get here." ”
Suddenly, Yue Mo's eyes were full of strange light, and the whole person was prostrate on the floor flatteringly.
"Huh." He covered his lips with one hand, looked at the loyal dog on the ground, and chuckled, the scar between his eyebrows trembled slightly, revealing a half-tailed bewitching aura.
The ridicule of the lord made Yue Mo work harder and harder, he ignored the pain in his back, tried his best to run over the wound, the corners of his mouth hissed, and he was close to the person who was high up.
Leave a corner of the room funny.
After looking at it for a moment, the corners of Wuyi's mouth overflowed with disdain, "It's boring, wretch." ”
"The Lord scolded." Yue Mo's body was stunned, he didn't dare to move, he drooped his head, full of grievances.
"Hmph, what about the people I asked you to bring?"
"If the slave didn't bring it back, the slave should die."
"Is she on her medication?"
"I took it, the pill left by Mr. Mu is said to be once a month."
"Well, as for you......"
"Command, Lord."
"If you can't find anyone for a day, your injuries can't be used for a day."
"Yes!"
