Chapter 348 - Hold your ground
Wei Shuying sat in the corridor, leaning against the pillar, carrying a wine jug in his hand, the sound of the piano in his ears, and the wine in his throat.
Cooking wine in the mountain spring and listening to the wind was the best pastime in the quiet night, but he always felt that something was wrong.
He frequently cast his gaze on the wooden platform, but every time he saw it, he saw two people, like glue.
When Wei Shuying saw the pair of mandarin ducks, the hand holding the wine jug couldn't help but rise, put the wine jug to his mouth, and poured it violently.
What worries him is loneliness, not jealousy......
He is already alone, seeing that Xiao Yu'er can form a pair, he says envy and jealousy, but in his heart he is really happy for Xiao Yu'er, I hope God can take care of them, don't let his crow's mouth become a prophecy.
Wei Shuying looked at the moon in the sky and laughed a few times with a shallow drunkenness. He thought that it was probably because he owed too much debt in the past, and even the heavens couldn't stand it, so he woke him up, and then left him with nothing but fame and fortune.
The piano stopped, and Mei Xiaoren turned his eyes to look at Chu Yu and saw that he had just poured a glass of wine.
She smelled a faint aroma of wine and asked, "Plum wine?" ”
"Hmm." Gu Chuyu brought the wine glass to her mouth, "Taste it." ”
Mei Xiaoren took a sip and was curious: "Where did this wine come from, why haven't you drunk it in the mansion on weekdays?" ”
Someone looked sideways and knocked on the pillar, "Tut-tut, handle the case!" ”
Gu Chuyu drank indifferently and glanced at her. Mei Xiaoren comprehended, and shouted with a smile towards the corridor: "Thank you for your hospitality." ”
"You two want to do this again next time, there is no wine, enough vinegar!"
"Vinegar?" Mei Xiaoren was in a fog.
Wei Shuying smiled, "If there is such a beautiful scenery again, I will call His Royal Highness King Yu and my junior sister, and everyone will be happy together." ”
Gu Chuyu stretched out his hand and gently hugged Mei Xiaoren's shoulder, while Mei Xiaoren put down the piano and moved to Gu Chuyu's side, leaning his head against him.
The two of them just stared at Wei Shuying, and they didn't say a word......
Wei Shuying covered his face, especially his eyes, out of sight and out of mind. He couldn't help complaining: "Seriously, you have to look like you are handling a case, after a while, people are coming, you two are drunk here, who will arrest you?" ”
Mei Xiaoren said with a smile: "Don't worry, he won't act rashly tonight." ”
"Maybe he'll jump off the wall in a hurry?"
"No, just a few days are not enough to dispel the doubts in his heart, and he should wait and see." Mei Xiaoren said easily, poured himself a glass of wine, and took a sip.
At first she wasn't sure that the mastermind was really him, until she saw his entourage this morning......
That person was hypocritical and cunning, how could he easily fall for her, but she was sure that he would either send someone to see it tonight or come in person, but he would not do anything.
Even if she catches someone in the woods, she can't take it as evidence, so she chooses not to move.
Outside the house, Wu Xian and his entourage were still standing in place.
The sound of the piano had long since dissipated, but his heart was getting more and more chaotic.
He heard very clearly just now that there were two people playing the qin, a man and a woman. The woman's strength is insufficient, and the sound of the piano that pops is slightly weaker, but the piano skills are also good, like the weak and down-and-out lady.
People are so strange, the more unwilling they are to accept the result, the more they scare themselves in their hearts.
"Childe, shall we go?"
"Nope." Wu Xian still looked at the mansion, took off the black cloak on his body and handed it to his entourage, "Put it on, go over and walk around." ”
"Childe, over there...... It's all official errands over there......"
Wu Xian said lightly: "If they ask you, you will say that you lost something in the forest during the day and came to look for something." ”
"Yes."
The retinue had no choice but to put on the mantle of the master and go there boldly.
The closer they got there, the harder the attendants trembled, and although they walked slowly, the movement under their feet still alarmed the nearby patrols.
"What people!" The leading official shouted.
The patrol stopped and stopped, but he only asked, he didn't plan to surround anyone, let alone arrest him.
The entourage was startled and explained tremblingly: "Official, the little one is a nearby hunter, who went into the woods to hunt during the day and lost something, so he came to look for it. ”
The official messenger beckoned: "This is the official family's garden, hurry up!" ”
"Yes, yes, the little one will go."
The attendant immediately turned around and ran back into the woods with his hands and feet in a shrunk manner.
The people in the courtyard heard the movement outside, but no one went out to check, not even Mei Xiaoren sat still.
She knew very well whether it was a passer-by or a slave of the big-tailed wolf, and she could guess the purpose of this person's appearance outside the garden, which was nothing more than being pushed out by the master to test and see if there were any hunters in ambush around.
Early the next morning, the Duke of Wei's mansion.
Ye Zhi was alone when he entered the mansion, but before long, there was one more person walking side by side with him, and he didn't need to look to know who it was.
The corners of Ye Zhi's mouth lifted and asked, "What, Lord Wu is not afraid today?" ”
"The lowly post has been stable so far, it can be seen that General Gao's mouth is tightly closed, and he didn't say anything that shouldn't be said, as for whether the woman is alive or dead, the lowly post will continue to investigate."
"Then ...... I wish you well. ”
They entered the hall together, and Wei Guogong and the rest of his staff were already waiting in the hall.
When Wei Guogong saw Ye Zhi, he asked, "Ye Zhi, what I asked you to check yesterday is eyebrow-raising?" ”
Ye Zhi was silent for a while, then stopped and replied: "Back to my father-in-law, no one in the barracks knows who instigated General Gao, if you want to know the ins and outs of this matter, I am afraid to ask General Gao himself." ”
"That's it, others are on the hidden platform, and there is no certainty whether they can come out alive." Wei Guogong rubbed the corners of his forehead, looking very worried, "The old man is worried now that the unification of the forbidden army will fall into the hands of the Prime Minister's Mansion. ”
"Gu Xiang just arrested someone, and he hasn't mentioned this matter to the courtiers until now, so I can't guess who Gu Xiang will let pick up this fat shortage." The officials were also anxious about it, and they said, "Can Lord Guogong preemptively recommend another general to His Majesty?" ”
"What kind of talent do you have here?"
Another official said, "It's better to transfer a general from the border guards." ”
Immediately, someone sighed: "Master Zhang thinks too much, why are the border guards at the border pass, you are stumped?" Most of the border generals were General Ye's old subordinates, and the person who sentenced General Ye to exile and caused General Ye to die halfway was Gu Zhan. Regardless of whether the generals hold grudges or not, the Prime Minister will be on guard, not to mention that any of them will be in charge of the forbidden army, even if they are transferred back to Beijing, they will not be able to pass the pass of Gu Xiang! ”
Although everyone was silent when they heard this, they all looked at Ye Zhi in unison.
Regardless of whether the old department of the General's Mansion has a grudge or a grudge against the Prime Minister's Mansion, for the young general, that case is a real hatred.
