Gloomy and Gloomy (4)
"Childe, this person is so unruly that he doesn't even pay attention to you." Xiao Ye had never seen such an ignorant person, so he couldn't help but be a little angry.
Yanlingzhan drank alone and said, "It's just a person from the rivers and lakes, don't care too much." ”
The gloomy and veil-like weather finally couldn't stop the rain and fog from wanting to leave, and after five or six days of torment, the veil let go. Since then, the drizzle has obtained the freedom they want, and it has drifted between the world and the world in a wanton and chic manner. The entire Yiyue Palace was immersed in this rain curtain, and its demeanor was even more elegant in the haze.
Ling Xiao leaned against the door frame, his heart was full of worry and bitterness, and he looked ahead unfocused, but there was still no light in his eyes. The dense drizzle was beating on the green bricks, and the crisp and soft intoxicating sound made the swallows under the eaves lazy in their comfortable nests, and from time to time they poked their little heads out in the drunken haze, looked around smartly, and occasionally brushed their presence with one or two chirps.
A figure holding an umbrella gradually walked towards Ling Xiao, which was the personal maid of the peach branch. Ling Xiao raised his eyes and noticed her approaching figure, so he sorted out his messy thoughts, and his eyes were a little focused.
Shi Man stood under the eaves and shook the oil-paper umbrella he had just put away, and most of the water droplets contained in it rolled off. "Miss Ling, the palace master asked the slave maid to tell you that the lord of the Lu Mansion has replied, saying that he has returned to the Lu Mansion, and he will come to pick you up when the affairs of the Lu Mansion are properly handled, so that you can live here with peace of mind. This is a letter from the Lord of the Lu Mansion to you. Shi Man faced Ling Xiao and said everything that Taozhi had told her, and then took out a letter from his arms and handed it to Ling Xiao.
Although Ling Xiao hadn't had time to read the letter yet, after listening to Shi Man's words, she let out a long sigh of relief, and her body seemed to be much more relaxed.
"Sister Xue, they're fine." Ling Xiao sighed with relief. It's just that what she doesn't know is that Jiang Tingxue is not with Lu Jingxing and them, and now the Lu Mansion is still sending people to find Jiang Tingxue's whereabouts.
The envelope was slowly opened in Ling Xiao's hand, and a piece of small thin paper full of delicate and strong seals was unfolded, and the letter briefly talked about what had happened in these days, and then it was to let Ling Xiao recuperate with peace of mind and take care of himself. Finally, he told Ling Xiao about the current situation in the rivers and lakes, and all the major factions had made precise arrangements and were ready to face the battle. Therefore, the Lu Mansion also needs to make these foolproof, and now there are a bunch of things waiting for Lu Jingxing to arrange and deal with. Lu Jingxing even felt that Yiyue Palace was much safer than Lu Mansion now, and Ling Xiao was in this Yiyue Palace, he was very relieved. Ling Xiao was roughly informed of all these matters, but he did not tell her the news of Jiang Tingxue's disappearance, which was entirely because Lu Jingxing was worried that he had told Ling Xiao about it, and he couldn't help but have no help, but would make Ling Xiao feel more worried.
"Miss Ling, it's the first time I've seen you relax in so many days." Shi Man said truthfully, and there was a little more relief in his heart.
Ling Xiao looked at the drizzling sky, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said to Shi Man on a whim: "The rain scene is so charming, I want to go out for a walk." "Once people's interest comes, even if it rains, it can't be stopped. And Ling Xiao is like this at the moment, he is in a happy mood, and his interest comes.
Shi Man heard that Ling Xiao wanted to go for a walk, but he didn't stop him, thinking that Ling Xiao had a rare interest and was no longer depressed. A few days ago, she persuaded Ling Xiao to go out for a walk, but Ling Xiao didn't go. Shi Man showed a gentle smile on his face and said, "I'll accompany the girl, you're not familiar with it here." ”
"Okay, just bothering you." Ling Xiao came to this Yiyue Palace, and he stayed in the house all day long, and he hadn't gone out yet. At this moment, Shi Man said this, she was very happy, after all, she was really not familiar with this at all.
The stone path was as bright as new in the drizzle, with a faint shimmer. The soil on both sides had already been drunk by the rain, drunk and drunk. Ling Xiao kept his head slightly down, and Shi Man each held an oil-paper umbrella, and after walking and stopping through a muddy path, they stepped on this stone slab, and on both sides were the grass and trees full of fine raindrops, which were verdant and dripping, making people look new. Ling Xiao stretched out her hand and brushed it gently, and the water droplets instantly found a new support, and finally drenched her palms and sleeves, bringing her a cool and refreshing feeling.
Ling Xiao slowly closed his eyes, feeling the comfort with his heart, as if he was communicating with this flower and plant in his heart. After a long time, when she raised her head and opened her eyes again, a strange scenery came into her eyes.
In the misty rain in the distance, the man holding an umbrella was dressed in a thick fox fur, standing in front of a cluster of fragrant begonia flowers, with his back to Ling Xiao and Shi Man. Ling Xiao was a little puzzled, although it was a rainy day, and the temperature was a little lower than usual, but after all, it was the early summer of April, and no matter how cold it was, she was still wearing a fox fur, so she couldn't help but take a few more glances at the slightly weak back. Shi Man also hadn't paid attention to the front, and at this moment she saw Ling Xiao's strange gaze, and her curiosity made her follow Ling Xiao's line of sight. And when she turned around, Ling Xiao had lowered her eyelids slightly, still casually and gently touching the grass and trees beside her. Ling Xiao always behaves indifferently and doesn't care about things that have nothing to do with him, and sometimes even if he is a little curious in his heart, he doesn't care too much about whether he needs to figure it out.
Shi Man felt a little surprised, surprised by Ling Xiao's attitude towards new things, because it was a kind of indifference that ordinary people could not show. Even so, Shi Man still opened his mouth: "That's our palace master's cousin, named Xu Qihua, who has been in Yiyue Palace since he was a child, and he and the palace master can be described as childhood sweethearts. It's just a pity that the son was born with heart disease, and although he was in love with the palace master, he was always unwilling to accept the palace master's heart for him. Shi Man's tone was full of regret.
Shi Man's words dispelled the little doubt in Ling Xiao's heart, Ling Xiao nodded as if he didn't have anything, and there was a little more regret in his heart, feeling sorry for Taozhi. Because she knew that in ancient times, it was difficult for people with heart disease to live past their twenties. Fate is often like to play tricks on people, and inadvertently, it has dug a hole for you and buried the regret of abuse. Ling Xiao wanted to say a word or two of comfort, but when he opened his mouth, he couldn't say anything, and finally only let out a light sigh.
The two of them continued to take broken steps forward, the water on the ground splashed lightly, the corners of Ling Xiao's skirt were slightly wet, and the people who were getting closer and closer still did not move, he seemed to like the clump of begonias that were so pure that they were not stained with dirt, and he was willing to stop for it. In the sound of the rain, he seemed to notice someone coming behind him, and when he looked back with an umbrella, the elegant scholarly atmosphere seemed to be frozen. The disadvantage is that his face is as pale as paper, and his thin lips are slightly purple under his clear eyes, and it is difficult to hide his sickness in his weakness. It is as fragile as a little snow under the warm winter sun, and it cannot withstand the touch of any foreign objects.
Ling Xiao didn't raise his eyes, so this time his eyes didn't fall into Ling Xiao's eyes. But Shi Man had already seen it, so he quickened his pace, and finally Ling Xiao followed Shi Man to Xu Qihua.
"Childe." Shi Manfu saluted.
"Well, get up." Xu Qihua's voice is handsome and elegant, and he is very easy-going.
Xu Qihua's gaze fell on Ling Xiao, who was standing beside Shi Man, but he didn't linger long, just asked, "Who is this?" ”
"Gongzi Hui, this is Miss Ling, the one who was rescued by the palace master a few days ago." The maid explained generously.
Ling Xiao arched his hand and made a Jianghu salute: "Young Master Xu." ”
"Miss Ling, it's polite here. These days, it is the habit of living here, and if you lack anything, you can tell Shi Man or the people in the palace, don't be polite. "He has heard about Ling Xiao's assassination, he heard Taozhi mention Ling Xiao a few days ago, but he didn't take it to heart, if Shi Man didn't mention it, he really forgot about it. Although he is in Yiyue Palace, he never asks about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, but only his idle son, and takes poetry, books, flowers and plants as his companion all day long.
Ling Xiao said politely, "Thank you, Young Master Xu." ”
The drizzle knocked on the umbrella surface, and the sound was particularly beautiful and pleasant, just like the slender strings of Konghou, which was unintentionally touched by someone for no reason, and the overflowing sound slowly drilled into the heart, making the restless heart return to calm and comfortable. The two politely exchanged pleasantries, but Ling Xiao really couldn't find anything else to say, and Xu Qihua did the same. So the three of them silently rewarded the begonia for a while, and Ling Xiao turned around and walked back after saying a word of unaccompaniment.
Xun Yang's people are still thieves in case of Qi, and the first two lessons have not made them learn to be obedient. But this time their purpose was really achieved, when they broke into the inn, in case Qi was not here, because an important matter needed to be dealt with urgently, and Feng'er was taking a nap, in case Qi couldn't bear to wake her up, he left her in the inn, sent a subordinate to stay and take care of her, and went to the Central Plains Country alone.
In case on the third day after they left, the people who flew through the cliff came, Xun Yang was worried that something would go wrong again, so he actually came here in person this time. The martial arts of just one of his subordinates naturally couldn't compete with Xun Yang, and in just a few moves, that person was defeated, and Feng'er was taken away by him like this.
"You little girl is really funny, why are you looking at me like that?" Xun Yang in the carriage held Feng'er in his arms all the time, and Feng'er faced a stranger who kidnapped him, not only did not cry or make trouble, but also looked at Xun Yang back and forth naked with a playful and strange gaze, Xun Yang was really curious about this wanton gaze with unknown meaning, and couldn't help asking.
Feng'er's dark eyes rolled, so she said mysteriously: "I found a secret." Want to know? ”
Xun Yang looked at the cute girl in front of him, and there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, such a smile had not appeared for a long time. He paused and said, "Tell me about it." ”
