Gloomy and Gloomy (5)
"Unless you grant me one request, I'll tell you." Feng'er puffed out a small mouth and talked to Xun Yang about the conditions.
Xun Yang was a little speechless, sighed lightly, and said: "If there is a father, there must be a daughter." At a young age, he learned to negotiate conditions, and he didn't let himself suffer at all, which is really the style of Wan Jian Ge. What a request, say it. ”
"My dad is gone, it's so boring, how about you play happily with me for three days?" Feng'er blurted out without thinking, this was obviously thought out a long time ago.
Xun Yang nodded, raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little playful: "Can you say it now?" ”
Feng'er smiled slyly, blinked her eyes, and said in his ear, "I found that you are not as good-looking as my father." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xun Yang's expression changed, his head was full of black lines, and he felt that he had exhausted his skills, but he jumped into a pit set up by a child. Xun Yang was stunned for a moment, but laughed out loud, his voice was crisp, which was both a kind of self-deprecation and a kind of joy.
Outside, the rain was shrouded, and the light inside the carriage was a little dim. Feng'er was still held by Xun Yang, and the two swayed slightly with the bumps of the carriage. Xun Yang didn't point at Feng'er's acupoint, the main reason was that he really wanted to cooperate with Wan Yiqi, so he had to ensure that Feng'er was unscathed. He thought that if all he wanted was gold, silver and jewelry, and what he wanted was a high and noble position, the two of them worked together to get what they needed. The so-called people who achieve great things are not informal, and they need to think about the long term.
Just because the environment in the carriage was too easy to tempt people to get sleepy, Feng'er yawned helplessly, feeling that her eyes were still a little blurry. "What? Sleepy? If you're sleepy, go to sleep. Feng'er's yawning appearance fell in Xun Yang's eyes, and she smiled faintly, and her tone was not like him on weekdays.
"I don't want to sleep, I won't sleep well without a sycamore pillow." Feng'er rubbed in Xun Yang's arms and struggled to the window. The carriage curtain was lifted by her little hand, and with the cool breeze, a faint white light shone in and sprinkled all over the ground.
"It's just a pillow, and I'll order it to be fetched." Feng'er was half-kneeling on the seat at the moment, facing Xun Yang sideways, her little head facing the car window, and Xun Yang's words came straight into her ears.
Feng'er didn't look back, her bright eyes just looked at the fast-moving rain scene, and the immature voice gently floated out of her mouth: "You're not afraid of meeting my father?" It's a day's journey, and if you want to send someone back, it will take a day, and I guess my father will go back at that time. Feng'er was kidnapped by this Xun Yang in the middle of the night, when she was still asleep, she woke up and found herself lying in the arms of this strange man, and then she looked at her playfully. At this time, it was half a day after she woke up, and it was too late.
"It is worthy of being a person from Wan Jian Pavilion. You know all of this. Xun Yang listened to Feng'er's words, and couldn't help but be even more impressed by the pavilion master of Qi in case of this, just such a child, who could analyze problems and was not afraid of danger in an unfamiliar environment.
Feng'er turned her head and rolled her eyes at Xun Yang: "Such a simple question, but anyone who has a head knows it, whether it's good or not." After she finished speaking, she looked out the window again, and was blown by the cool breeze, her sleepiness had disappeared without a trace, and her eyes were exceptionally clear, and every drizzle became extremely clear.
Xun Yang lowered his eyes, the corners of his mouth were still a shallow smile, he shook his head helplessly, and then asked, "By the way, little girl, what is your name?" ”
"Feng'er." The scene flying outside the window gradually slowed down in front of Feng'er's eyes, and finally stopped, and the incomparably clear sound of water was constantly coming.
The carriage returned to stability, Xun Yang got up, picked Feng'er up from the seat, and said, "It turns out that your name is Feng'er, okay, we're here, get off." ”
Passing through a stone path shaded by low trees, a steep and steep cliff with dense greenery appeared in front of Feng'er's eyes. Looking up, the cliff body is shrouded in clouds and mist, a turbulent waterfall pours down from the top of the cliff, falls straight into the deep pool, stirs up the infinite snow waves, and finally flows from the deep pool to the distance, in the hazy rain curtain like a long boundless snow-white veil hanging on the side of this majestic green cliff, stretching with the wind, far away is its way back.
Xun Yang held Feng'er in one hand and a splashed ink paper umbrella in the other, looking at the clear and transparent pool water in front of him, dotted with countless snow-white waves, he was slightly distracted, and the slow sound of the drizzle in his ears had long been replaced by the thunderous sound of water hammering.
"Does Feng'er like this place?" Xun Yang turned his head sideways, and because the sound of the water was too loud, he spoke to Feng'er a little louder.
"Well, you promised to play with me, but don't break your promise." Feng'er nodded her little head and raised her voice.
In the face of Feng'er, Xun Yang always seemed helpless. I never thought that most of the days had passed, but I didn't expect this little clever ghost to remember the conditions of this deception. "I won't forget, let's go up the cliff and hold me tight." As soon as Xun Yang's words fell, his body was light, and he flew towards the halfway waist of the waterfall, and in the blink of an eye, he had steadily entered the cave behind the waterfall. Feng'er's clothes were not half wet, and the heavy mist was all blocked from the oil-paper umbrella. The cave is heavily guarded and heavily defended, and the oil lamps on the stone walls are not extinguished day and night.
"Door Master." A little minion took the umbrella in Xun Yang's hand and saluted respectfully.
Xun Yang bowed slightly, raised his hand, the little minion immediately understood, a whistle sounded from his fingers, the heavy stone gate embedded in the stone wall slowly moved away from the middle gap, and a stone step path slowly extended from the stone gate, leading to the top of the cliff. The opening and closing of this stone door is connected by tough copper cables, and more than a dozen strong men can control the axle wheel. It can be said that it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and ordinary people don't want to go up to this flying cliff at all.
After Xun Yang carried Feng'er inside, the stone gate immediately rustled and moved, with a loud bang, and then it was completely closed.
After Lu Jingxing finished dealing with the bunch of things in the Lu Mansion, he didn't come to take a breath, so he rushed to Yiyue Palace in Changsha County non-stop. And a few days later, Jiang Tingxue finally returned to Lufu with Gu Minluo's entourage.
There are now two more teams of guards at the main entrance of the Lu Mansion, and strange men and women who enter and leave need to be strictly checked.
"Master Luo, this is my cousin's house, please." After Jiang heard Xuexue, she dismounted in front of the main gate with Gu Minluo, and she tied the horse firmly to the bolted horse stake, and then walked inward. But what she didn't expect was that before she could step over the threshold, she was stopped by two guards, one of whom asked in a somewhat unkind tone, "Who are you?" Hugh trespassed and reported his name. ”
Jiang Tingxue's feet slowly retracted, glanced at these two serious people with some helplessness, sighed softly from the heart, and whispered to Lu Jingxing: "Do you use such plants and trees to be soldiers?" Get such a bunch of idlers, and you are really afraid of the well rope after being bitten by a snake for ten years. ”
"What are you muttering here?" The man said again.
Jiang Tingxue rolled her eyes completely, and then said unhurriedly: "You're new here, it's okay if you don't know me." I am your mansion master's cousin Jiang Tingxue, if you don't believe it, you can call Lu Ci out. ”
Hearing Jiang Tingxue say this, the man's attitude softened a little, but he still didn't dare to be careless, didn't let them in, and said: "Steward Lu went to Yiyue Palace in Changsha County with the lord of the mansion, I think you should come back in a few days, it's okay to find an inn to live in, and you are not in a hurry." You see, we do what we are told, and don't embarrass us. The last sentence he said was a little difficult.
"Go to Yiyue Palace? Why? Jiang Tingxue's eyes widened a little and asked.
Seeing Jiang Tingxue's entanglement, the man frowned a little impatiently: "It's not easy for us to ask about the master's affairs. Let's go! ”
Gu Minluo stood quietly beside Jiang Tingxue, not interfering. Jiang Tingxue turned around and lowered her eyelids at Gu Minluo, and spread her hands: "I'm sorry, Master Luo, they are too nervous during the extraordinary period." Please forgive me Mr. Luo, let's find an inn to stay in first. Although she is a little angry, she is not easy to break through, after all, she is also a big girl, and she has been well-educated since she was a child. She didn't want to entangle with these people anymore, she thought that she would have to wait until Lu Bo returned home in the evening.
"Miss, you're finally back, where are you going?" Que'er just came back from shopping for Yu Niang on the street, and when she looked up, she saw Jiang Tingxue coming down the steps, and immediately greeted her excitedly.
Jiang Tingxue glanced sideways at the seven or eight guards at the door, and said angrily: "I just arrived, these people just won't let me in." ”
"This is the cousin of the lord of the house, the eldest lady of my family, why do you stop anyone." Que'er pointed to Jiang Tingxue beside her and said to the person by the door.
Those guards believed this time, arched their hands, and apologized: "Miss Cousin, offended, please inside." ”
Jiang Tingxue was too lazy to take care of these people with a single brain, and after saying a word of invitation to Gu Minluo, the three of them entered the mansion back and forth.
The eyeliner sent by Xun Yang to monitor Gu Minluo on the side of the street has been hiding behind the stall, and now he has seen Gu Minluo enter the Lu Mansion with his own eyes, and he is thinking about whether to go back to recover his life or continue to observe. After thinking about it for a while, I guess I had the answer in my heart, a slight smug smile appeared on the corner of my mouth, and I left in a hurry.
"Is there any news about Xiao Xiao, and do you know what happened to my cousin going to Yiyue Palace this time?" The cool breeze in the cloister blew Jiang Tingxue's clothes fluttering, she had been most worried about Ling Xiao for so many days, and she hadn't returned to the house at the moment, and she didn't care about Gu Minluo on the side, and asked directly to the finch.
"Back to the eldest miss, a few days ago Yiyue Palace wrote that they saved the second miss, so the second miss has been recuperating in Yiyue Palace these days. And this time, the young master went to Yiyue Palace to pick up the second young lady. Que'er stopped at the corner of the corridor, she still had the silk thread that Yu Niang asked her to buy, and she went back to Jiang to listen to Xue's words at this time, and she had to send things to Yu Niang later.
Jiang Tingxue's face was happy, and she couldn't help but clap her hands: "Great, so I'll rest assured." How many days has my cousin been gone? ”
Finch paused, thought in her heart, and said, "It's been two days. Miss, if there is no other major matter, then I will go and send something to Yu Niang first, and I will come back to talk to you later. Finch pointed to the bamboo basket in her hand.
"You go first, I'll go and arrange a place for Luo Gongzi to live." Jiang Tingxue waved her hand at the finch and led Gu Minluo towards the end of the other corridor, and the finch turned her back to them.
