Chapter 64: The Flower Thief
Because Situ Shaoqi personally sent Situ Youning back to the Ji Palace, Feng Yumo did not blame Situ Youning, and he also knew that if he spoke out at this time, he would fall for Situ Youning's plan, and she would definitely take this opportunity to let herself leave her.
Awakened by a nightmare in the middle of the night, Situ Youning couldn't sleep anymore, the cheeks full of weird smiles of the woman in the house on the outskirts of the city that night lingered in her mind, she couldn't help but start worrying about Li Fengwen, and the strange appearance of her mother yesterday is still very uncomfortable when she thinks about it now.
In her restlessness, she got out of bed, walked to the wooden frame on the left side of the yard, picked up the shovel next to the pit and continued to dig the pit, and in a short time there was a lot of dirt on the edge of the pit.
"Feng Yumo, since you ruined my good deeds, then don't blame me for being rude."
The sudden sound frightened Situ Youning unable to move, she slowly raised her head to look at the night sky that was still dark, and then there was a sound of doors opening and closing, she bent over and peeked her head out of the mound of dirt, cautiously observing the empty courtyard.
"Could it be that I'm having auditory hallucinations?" Situ Youning's vest was cold, his body trembled slightly, and he still stared intently at the situation in the courtyard.
The rhododendron branches on both sides of the stone road, swaying gently in the autumn wind, with the wooden frame swaying behind him, emitting bursts of weird melodies, the creeper on the opposite pavilion flew in the wind, exposing the already somewhat dilapidated gazebo to the dim light, Situ Youning slowly climbed out of the mud pit, walked to the wooden frame behind him, picked up the rusty kitchen knife placed on it, and took steps towards the stone path in the middle of the courtyard.
At this moment, the door of the room opened, Situ Youning hurriedly lay on the ground, but a person accidentally fell into the pit, and the already old injured body came with a burst of pain, but she didn't dare to scream, when she struggled to get up and looked into the courtyard, she found a figure swaggering out of her room.
"How could there be no one?"
This voice is the same as what I heard just now, although I can't see his appearance clearly, but I can tell from the voice that something is wrong.
"That's a good dagger." The man looked at the dagger in his hand, put it in his pocket with satisfaction, and walked out of the 'Yuyuan Village'.
That dagger was given to Situ Youning by Situ Chenfeng, so Situ Youning followed without thinking about it.
After that, the man walked around the Ji Wang's Mansion, stopped at a courtyard, stood motionless and looked at the gate of the courtyard, and then jumped into the courtyard.
"Who lives here?" Situ Youning tried to see the plaque directly above the gate, but the words on the plaque were in the shadow of the light, and nothing could be seen.
Although I don't know who lives here, but she can be sure that it is not Feng Yumo's residence, if the man just now is some kind of flower thief, if you live in it, you will suffer a loss if you have a woman? So Situ Youning didn't think too much about it, and jumped towards the wall with one body.
"Ouch!"
But what greeted her was a heavy blow, after a scream, she was pressed under a heavy object, and when she opened her eyes, she found that Feng Yaoyi was pressing on her body, and on top of Feng Yaoyi, lay the mysterious man just now.
"Yaoyi, wake up." Situ Youning screamed hard, but Feng Yaoyi didn't have any reaction.
The man immediately stood up and looked at Situ Youning with some surprise.
"Who are you? Dare to break into the palace at night! After the man stood up, Situ Youning hurriedly pushed Feng Yaoyi away and quickly straightened up.
"You have nothing to learn from what other people climb over the wall." The man said with some displeasure, rubbing his forehead as he spoke.
"What did you do to Yaoyi?" Situ Youning observed the man's every move with a serious face.
"Hehe..." The man didn't answer Situ Youning's words, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I didn't expect to harvest two beauties tonight, and this trip is not a loss." As he spoke, he walked towards Situ Youning.
"People who can fall over the wall and fight with each other dare to be presumptuous in the Ji Wangfu!"
The man's face turned blue instantly after hearing this, his light skills are so appreciated in the rivers and lakes, in his more than ten years of theft career, it is the first time that this situation has happened today, if this matter spreads, his reputation will be ruined, "HeheΒ·Β·Β· It's really a stinky girl who has not dried up, Uncle Ben just obviously let you bump into it on purpose, if you have any doubts, then I will let you see the light skills that Master Ben is good at. β
"Don't come here," Situ Youning took a step back, "This is the Ji Palace!" Don't mess around, don't blame me for not reminding you, King Ji's martial arts are not ordinary. β
"Haha..." The man proudly walked forward to the main entrance of the courtyard, and touched his chin with a look of underwhelming, "Feng Yumo's martial arts are powerful, I admit it, but you may not know." β
"What?" Seeing the man so confident, Situ Youning suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Half an hour ago, Feng Yumo and a few of his secret guards left the palace in a hurry, and now..."
"Haha..." Before the man's words were finished, Situ Youning couldn't help laughing, "So that's the case." β
"You..." The man looked away in embarrassment and began to reproach himself for his mouthful.
"This brother, it's really hard for you, you must have been circling around the Jiwang Mansion for several years, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"Hey, the emperor lives up to his hard work, today King Ji finally left the palace, that's why you dare to step here." Situ Youning shook his head as he spoke.
"Stinky girl!" As he spoke, he rushed towards Situ Youning.
Next, a scream spread throughout the entire backyard of the Ji Palace, and soon after, Ni Yan and some subordinates rushed here, and the scene in front of them made people except Ni Yan feel a little.
"You run!" Situ Youning said and patted the head of the man lying on the ground.
"Ouch!"
"I reminded you to run quickly, and you don't blame me for this." As he spoke, he glanced at the family members standing around, and in the face of Situ Youning's gaze, several family members took a step back, and several people crowded together, "You guys come here and tie this person up!" β
"Yes... Be! β
The man looked at Situ Youning with a look of remorse, he couldn't imagine that the flower thief in the mighty rivers and lakes would be planted in the hands of this girl today, "Don't be too proud, if it weren't for me underestimating you, do you think you can catch me?" β
"Hand over the antidote." Situ Youning said as he glanced at Feng Yaoyi, who was being held in Ni Yan's arms.
Seeing that Situ Youning ignored himself, the man also turned his face away and ignored Situ Youning.
"Your light skills are really powerful, if I hadn't led you under the roof, I really wouldn't have been able to catch you."
"Humph! Of course, Uncle Ben is a famous 'chasing the wind in the dark night' on the rivers and lakes. β
"There shouldn't be anyone in the rivers and lakes who doesn't know you, right?"
"Do you need to say that?" The man looked up proudly.
Situ Youning nodded thoughtfully, "Butler." β
"Yes."
"Did you just hear that?"
"This..." The butler looked dazed.
"This is a well-known figure in the rivers and lakes, early tomorrow morning, you will send some more people to the brother's teahouse and tavern, and tell the world, what is this... Chasing the wind in the night', was easily caught by the side concubine of the Ji Palace. β
"Yes."
"Hey, you're so mean!" The man looked at Situ Youning with a panicked expression, wanting to get angry but didn't dare to let it out.
"Do you have an opinion?"
"Hehe... There is still room for negotiation in this matter, at least leave me a way back, if this matter is really spread, my reputation will be ruined. β
"Do you need me to ruin your reputation? Do you need me to ruin my reputation as a flower thief? β
Seeing the arrogant and domineering face in front of him, the man really wanted to return to his master to repent, he knew this, he should have listened to his old man's words and studied martial arts well, instead of indulging in light martial arts.
"What do you want?"
"Antidote." Situ Youning stretched out his hand.
"Give me pen and paper."
"Tighten the belt and go down."
"Yes."
"Sister, what the hell is going on?" After the man was taken away, Ni Yan asked out loud.
"My sister was frightened, but she's okay now." As he spoke, he rubbed his waist.
"Are you hurt?"
"Hmmm... Yaoyi will be handed over to my sister, and I will go back and lie down. β
"Well, you have a good rest."
Looking at Situ Youning's distant back, the scene of the subordinate being dominated by her in an orderly manner just now lingered in Ni Yan's heart for a long time.
