In the past few days, it has been rainy in Shangjing, and there is still no definite number in the rumors about whether the witnesses of the murder in the east of the city are alive or dead.

Not only that, but there are even rumors that the witness is only temporarily confused, and his memory will be restored in a few days.

Every time he listened to the report of his entourage, Wu Xian would have a short period of distraction. On the one hand, he was sure that the poison would never be wrong, and on the other hand, he was bewitched by rumors, and he became more and more suspicious that Xiuyu was still alive, so he was terrified.

Later, one day, the entourage heard from the official of the Shangjing Prefecture that the witness was about to sober up, and when he was confused, he confided in Meifu Yin that the case was related to the people of the ministry.

This news almost crushed all the luck that Wu Xian had in his heart......

Everything he knew was like a pair of sharp claws tugging at his heart, making him panic and unable to distinguish between truth and falsehood.

On the night when Wu Xian learned about this, he came to the south of the city again to find out the truth.

A few days ago, he only asked his entourage to come here to watch, and the entourage said that the guard scholar was in it every day, and the sound of the piano would be heard in the courtyard every night.

The reason why he dared to come in person today, and he was alone, was because he had inquired in advance that the scholar of Wei was still discussing with Gu Xiang in the Prime Minister's Mansion at this time, and would not come to the other garden.

Wu Xian was still standing where he had stood last time, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the courtyard was still as heavily guarded as before.

This time, he had a whistle in his palm.

If she was the woman who had been settled here by the Guard, then she would have remembered how to play the piano, remembered that he was in the ministry, and remembered what he had in his hand.

Wu Xian blew the whistle and blew it three times.

The whistle is like a birdsong, and it is heard far and clearly in the silent mountain forest.

He was still wearing the black cloak, and then put on his hat with him, and stood still waiting.

"Girl......"

The voice of a maid came from inside the courtyard.

Wu Xian looked at the gate of the annex intently, and after a while, a woman came out of the annex, and the guards outside the door stopped her before she could take a few steps, "Girl stay." ”

The woman wore a pale pink gauze skirt, and her long hair was draped behind her, reaching her waist.

Even though it was too dark for him to see clearly, his heart was disturbed by what he saw in front of him, so chaotic that he almost wanted to rush over and tear off her disguised mask, so that he could see with his own eyes that she was not the damn woman, so that he could rest assured and rest easy......

Wu Xian resisted the impulse in his heart and paid attention to the woman's every move. She was still standing there, neither talking to the guards who had stopped her, nor planning to go back, stunned as a piece of wood, not like a sane person.

A maid came out, took a cloak and put it on for the woman, and persuaded: "Girl, it's cold at night, so the girl should go back." ”

The woman shook her head.

The maid said, "The girl wants to go out for a walk? The slave and the maid helped the girl to go. ”

She shook her head again.

"The girl wants to go by herself?" The maid thought for a while, and said helplessly, "That girl be more careful, don't go too far, the scholar said that the girl has just escaped, and she must beware of someone harming the girl again." ”

The woman nodded smugly.

The maid said to the guards: "My lords, the scholar said that if the girl feels bored, let the girl go out for a walk, and hope that the adults will make it convenient." ”

The guards gave way and said, "The girl should go early and return early." ”

The woman walked away from the garden and walked forward.

Wu Xian had been to this place many times, and everything around him was no stranger to him, for example, he remembered that there was a mountain pond in the direction she was going.

Wu Xian stood where he was, and only when he saw that the guards were not following the woman did he move, avoiding where the guards could see, and took a detour to find her.

After Wu Xian left, there was another slight sound of footsteps in the woods.

Someone walked to the place where Wu Xian was standing and stopped, silently staring at the black-clothed figure that gradually melted into the night......

The breeze is quiet, and the water is sparkling.

The rain has stopped, and the beginning of tomorrow dawns, and the woman is wearing a snow-colored cloak, standing quietly by the pond, the breeze blowing, lifting the cloak and gauze skirt and dancing in the wind.

It was a scene that was more beautiful than a painting, but Wu Xian felt very dazzling in his eyes, her clothes, her hairstyle, everything fit the impression left in his mind.

But he still hasn't seen the woman's face, this is the only luck left in his heart......

Wu Xian moved closer to her, his steps were light, as if he was worried that she would notice it too soon.

He paid attention to the left and right as he walked, and did not notice anything unusual, and then looked at the woman's back and said, "You are not dead?" ”

The woman didn't respond, and looked at the water, as if she hadn't heard anyone say anything.

"You're not Xiuyu!" He accentuated his tentative tone.

The woman remained motionless.

"Who the hell are you?"

Wu Xian asked again, but the voice dispersed, and the woman still didn't hear back from him.

"If you don't answer, no matter who you are, today you are your death!"

Wu Xian couldn't suppress the impulse in his heart, walked quickly behind the woman, and pinched her shoulder, trying to force her to turn around and let him see his true face.

The woman refused, and raised her hand to remove his hand.

Wu Xian not only did not let go, but also increased his strength.

The woman was in pain, took a breath of cool air, and then turned around and complained: "Senior Brother Wu, you don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?" ”

Wu Xian was suddenly stunned, and his hand was inadvertently released.

Mei Xiaoren took the opportunity to put aside Wu Xian's hand and took a few steps forward, away from the pool.

Wu Xian came back to his senses, staring at the face that no longer looked like a man at all, his eyes were like torches, "Why are you!" ”

This is not the person he is looking for, but it can push him into the abyss and make him never recover.

Mei Xiaoren's expression was indifferent, "Then who do you think it is, Xiuyu?" She smiled and said, "Yes, didn't you come here just to see if she was alive or dead?" ”

The hatred in Wu Xian's eyes was already obvious, Mei Xiaoren turned his eyes to look away, and sighed: "Senior brother has always treated me politely, why do you want to kill me quietly?" For this reason, he even did not hesitate to take his own woman and child, so bothered, how could I be embarrassed by my junior brother? ”

Wu Xian pretended to be calm: "I don't know what you're talking about!" ”

Mei Xiaoren smiled, "I don't know? What I did today is to make my senior brother squatting in prison understand, otherwise I will directly arrest you and put you in prison, and convict you without listening to your quibbles, you won't blame me for not remembering the friendship of classmates? And he said, "Besides, if you don't have a ghost in your heart, will you fall for me?" ”

Wu Xian sneered, "Mei Xiaoren, do you think I'm a thief and bandit on the street, and I can be convicted if you are caught?" ”

"Senior brother is right, senior brother is the eldest son of the household servant family, and he is also the staff of Lord Guogong, which is extraordinary, so if you catch a thief, you have to take dirty, and I have to give them an explanation." Mei Xiaoren looked down at herself, spread her hands, and smiled, "In order to lure my senior brother to show up, junior brother, I also took great pains. ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at the nearby forest and shouted, "What are you hiding for, if you don't come out yet, please ask Lord Wu to move!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the originally quiet forest suddenly heard the sound of rustling.

Before long, more than a dozen officials rushed out of the forest and surrounded Wu Xian in the middle.

With a mountain pond on one side and an official mission on the third side, Wu Xian's situation truly explains what it means to be "at the end of the road".
