Muxi Xinxin's old road
The martial arts of the three secret agents were not low, and after being attacked by the black spirit, they escaped from the two. And the man with the broken arm was completely negligent for a moment, and the first blow of the black spirit mang sneaked up on him, so he couldn't escape. The place where the incident occurred was a little far away from the residence, and it was not easy for people in the house to find out. However, Lu Jingxing's precautions a few days ago were right, and he arranged a few people to patrol secretly at night.
"Don't let them know about this beforehand, and we'll deal with it when we come back. There are also those two secret agents, you must catch them, and there should not be too many people who know about Xuan Wu, especially those in the imperial court. Lu Jingxing turned his head to look at the carriage that followed closely behind them. As long as it was related to Ling Xiao, he couldn't help but be cautious.
"Yes, I see." Lu Ci nodded seriously. He suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and winked at Lu Jingxing twice, which was full of curious light: "By the way, Mansion Master, where did you go last night?" I went to look for you after the accident, but there was no one in the room. ”
Thinking of last night, Lu Jingxing's face became strange, he couldn't directly tell Lu Ci that he stayed in Ling Xiao's room last night, right? Although the two have no skin-to-skin relationship, they can be regarded as sleeping together. Besides, who would believe that the two are really innocent.
Seeing that Lu Ci was still staring at him, a trace of embarrassment flashed from his handsome face, and then calmly looked straight ahead, looking at the gradually more pedestrians on the street, he found an excuse: "There are some things that you don't need to worry about." Watch the road, ride your horse, and don't hurt anyone. ”
"No, it's weird, lord, how do I think you seem to be weak-hearted?" Lu Ci rolled his eyes, with a hint of suspicion on his face, while thinking in his mind, he stared at Lu Jingxing's calm side face, but he didn't take Lu Jingxing's reminder seriously, he was very confident in his riding skills.
It's not endless! Faced with such a Lu Ci, Lu Jingxing glanced at him angrily and didn't bother to speak.
This strange look suddenly fell on his body, forcing Lu Ci to be agitated, and quickly shut up, of course, this was not frightened.
But soon, Lu Ci seemed to think of something, grinned, and muttered, "I understand." I never thought that the lord of the mansion would do this kind of thing sneaking out of the house. ”
Lu Ci's words were mixed with the sound of horses' hooves, Lu Jingxing only listened vaguely, and said in a deep voice: "What is out of the house?" ”
"A few days ago, I heard that there was a beautiful and talented woman in the Drunken Red Mansion." Lu Ci leisurely shook the legs on both sides of the horse's belly, and his words were quite natural, which can be described as outspoken.
Hearing this, Lu Jingxing's face instantly darkened, and he glanced at Lu Ci several times with cold eyes, and said coldly: "I heard Uncle Lu say that there is a problem with the bookkeeper of a certain medical center, and you will go to replace him in a few days." "What kind of place is that drunken red mansion? This kid mistakenly thought that he went to the Qinglou last night, and he really didn't know what he was thinking.
Lu Ci immediately became uncalm, with a bitter face, with an exaggerated plea in his words: "Mansion Master, I was wrong, I swear, I will keep it secret for you, and I will never let Ling Xiao know." Just spare me, you know, I don't know anything about accounts, and it's not like I'm making a mess when I go. ”
The more Lu Ci said, the darker Lu Jingxing's face became, and he simply ignored Lu Ci's pleas. Saying what he said was kept secret for him, saying as if he had really done such a thing, how could people not be angry.
This is the first time that the bird has been in Huizhou for so long and has gone out of the city, so it is difficult to hide the joy and excitement in his heart, and he is so excited in the carriage that he can't even sit still. And the chatter in Ling Xiao's ear kept talking, which made Ling Xiao very helpless, and she didn't want to spoil her good interest, so she made a fuss inside.
"Yu Niang, this is about to leave the city, isn't it almost there?" Que'er held the car curtain with one hand, and beckoned in the direction where Yu Niang was with the other.
At this time, there were no fewer pedestrians coming and going on both sides of the carriage, noisy and lively. Finch had been looking out through the window of the carriage for a long time, and when she saw a quaint side wall appear in front of her, she knew that the carriage had arrived at the gate of the city, and her heart could not help but be a little more excited.
Yu Niang looked at the finch with joy on her face, she also smiled and squinted, and the few wrinkles on her forehead seemed to be deeper. After laughing, she shook her head and said, "It's still early, it's about half an hour." Looking at the appearance of the finch, I am really happy today! I can't wait. ”
"Of course I'm pleased, it's the first time I've grown so big, and it's the first time I've come out to play, but it's thanks to the second miss, otherwise I wouldn't have this opportunity. Yu Niang, did you come every year before? The second lady should have had the opportunity to go out often in Jundu before, right? Que'er put down the car curtain in her hand, sat down, tilted her head and glanced at Yu Niang and Ling Xiao, and even her tone was full of joy.
Before entering the Jiang Mansion, the finch was just a rough maid. Since she met Ling Xiao, her situation has completely improved, and now not only does she not have to do rough work, but she is also quite relaxed every day, so she is grateful to Ling Xiao in her heart.
Yu Niang's body swayed gently with the carriage, and when she heard the finch ask, she replied gently: "I don't go every year, just occasionally, but I went there once last year." ”
"Actually, it was the first time I went to enjoy the scenery last year." Ling Xiao sat quietly against the wall of the car, hooking her lips at the finch who was winking at her. At this time, she was in a good mood, and she was not stingy in answering the questions that the finch asked her.
A hint of gloom suddenly flashed on the finch's face, but then it was an accident, and she asked with a blinking curiosity, "Is this so?" Why is this so? I've often heard people say that those boudoir ladies in Jundu often go out to enjoy the autumn. ”
"I used to be always busy with business, so I didn't have so much time." Ling Xiao trembled her long eyelashes slightly, speaking very flatly, and then raised her hand to pick up the curtain of the car on her side.
Wisps of soft wind blew in, and came out of the window of the car on the opposite side where the curtain had been lifted by the finch, passing by Ling Yan's face, and her hair moved lightly, making her feel comfortable. Instead of glancing out of the window, she closed her eyes comfortably, and she liked the feeling of the wind on her face, which made people unconsciously relax and not think about the upsetting things.
Que'er glanced at the beautiful face on the other side with her eyes gently closed, and her eyes were slightly drooping, and she sighed: "Alas, it seems that the second lady was not happy before. ”
"It's also embarrassing, so small, but you have to face these things that ordinary people have never experienced." Yu Niang's eyes were full of pity, and she couldn't help frowning. In the past few days, she has learned a lot about Ling Xiao from Lu Ci's mouth, and she knows that Ling Xiao is the daughter of a certain nobleman in Jundu, who was adrift alone because she was murdered, but she still doesn't know Ling Xiao's exact identity.
The light inside the carriage dimmed a little, and they were walking through the city gates, when a slight noise drifted into the carriage outside. Ling Xiao opened his eyes and said to Yu Niang indifferently: "Yu Niang don't be sad, these are all in the past." Besides, I'm living happily in Lu Mansion now, and that's enough. ”
"Yes, as long as the second lady is happy now." As the light in the car lit up, two strange lights seemed to light up in the eyes of the finch.
The scenery outside the city is far away and leisurely, the mountains in the distance are misty and hazy, although it is an August day, but it is still seen to be a piece of color, showing the yellowing of the leaves, and the malaise of life. With the nearby greenery and fewer pedestrians on the road, the carriage will naturally travel faster in the autumn days.
Just as Yu Niang said to the finch, half an hour later, the finch faintly smelled a faint cinnamon fragrance. Later, as the carriage progressed, the aroma became more and more intense, and finally the sound of the horses' hooves became quieter, and the carriage calmed down.
The finch was overjoyed, knowing that they had reached their destination. Before the car came to a complete stop, I couldn't help but look out through the window a few more times, as if I was looking for something, but I only saw an outer wall of the courtyard.
Ling Xiao asked Yu Niang to get out of the carriage first, and when she was about to go down again, she just lifted the curtain and came out, and what fell into her eyes was an extra hand on each side of the door. She was slightly stunned, first glanced at Zhong Limu, who was stretching out his hand to her on the left, and then turned her head to look at Lu Jingxing, who was holding the reins in one hand and preparing to help her with the other, and she was still stared at by dozens of eyes, and she suddenly felt that she had fallen into a strange situation.
Ling Xiao was still showing much of a reaction, when she saw that the two people who stretched out their hands to her looked at each other awkwardly and smiled, and then they invariably retracted their hands in unison. She was a little speechless, what is the trouble? Reaching out to her at the same time, and closing at the same time, the movements were surprisingly consistent, and it was really a tacit cooperation. She shook her head imperceptibly, and before the two could react, she jumped out of the carriage from the side of her hand.
"Yu'er, be careful." Zhongli Mu saw Ling Xiao jump down from his side, and reached out to help, but Ling Xiao was already standing firmly on the ground. Until now, he didn't know that Ling Xiao knew martial arts.
Seeing that Zhong Limu was so nervous, Ling Xiao felt a trace of warmth in his heart, pursed his lips and smiled, shook his head and said, "Third brother don't worry, I'm fine." ”
Yan Linghan stood in the sunlight leisurely, not far from the carriage, and smiled meaningfully at the scene just now. Then he looked around with a slight tilt of his head, and sighed: "If you haven't seen its tree, smell its fragrance first, this place is really good." ”
"Yes, Second Miss, where is the Muxilin you are talking about?" When the finch was in the car, she blinked and searched for half a circle, and when she got out of the car at this moment, she turned her body and looked around carefully, but she still didn't see the shadow of a tree, only a strong fragrance wafting from an unknown place, and she couldn't help the curiosity in her heart.
Ling Xiao looked at the joyful sparrow, and a smile overflowed from the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, I'll wait for you later." ”
