Chapter 258: The Man in the Mask
In front of the closed window, a tall figure in a black robe stood with his back to her, he wore a half silver mask on his face, only the part below the wings of his nose was exposed, but from the small half of his face that was exposed, it was enough to see that his temperament and appearance were absolutely extraordinary.
The pupils under the mask were darker than the night, and his thin lips pursed lightly, but he was silent.
After Concubine Wen's cautious words came out, she didn't get a response for a long time, she glanced at a trace of loss in her eyes, and walked to the bamboo stove to pour a cup of freshly brewed tea: "Master, the tea is ready, it is your favorite Longjing before the rain." ”
"It's rare, you still remember what kind of tea you like to drink." The dark figure looked sideways slightly, as if his thoughts had just been withdrawn.
Although the tone is light, the voice is excellent.
The fragrance of tea overflowed, diluting a little thick air, and Concubine Wen saw that he responded to herself, and a rare gentle smile floated on the corner of her lips: "The master's affairs, no matter how big or small, are put in the heart of the pigeon." ”
The dark color didn't answer again, but just walked to the table and sat down.
In the dim light, his figure was outlined very coldly.
Holding the cup in one hand, he did not send the fragrant Longjing to his lips.
Concubine Wen stood beside him with anticipation in her eyes.
He likes to drink the tea he brews the most, but there are very few opportunities to make tea for him......
"I will stay in Kyoto for a few days, and if I am not looking for you, I will not come to see you." The tone was still very light, and he lowered his head and took a sip of the tea in the cup: "The tea is well cooked." ”
Concubine Wen hurriedly said: "Chao Ge has built a secret room in the Bamboo Pavilion Pavilion, and the master can temporarily live here for a few days without anyone finding out." ”
He slowly put the cup down: "Forgot the rules? ”
"Chao Ge didn't dare, but he was worried that the owner would have a lot of inconvenience when he was out alone." Concubine Wen lowered her head, and said softly.
He raised the cup again and brought it to his lips: "Remember the task given to you by this seat, this matter cannot be completed overnight, do not expose yourself, about others, it is not within your scope." ”
"Chao Pigeon knows." Concubine Wen raised her forehead slightly, a touch of loss quickly crossed her eyes, and she carried a teapot to fill the empty cup for him: "Chao Ge has been away from his homeland for too long, and I don't know when I will be able to go back." ”
The dark figure looked at the wisps of green smoke in the dim light: "After the dust settles, this seat will come to pick you up in person." ”
Concubine Wen lowered her eyes, and there was no joy on her face.
He said that he would come to pick him up in person, and he should be happy, but he didn't know when the day the dust would settle.
Or maybe in the bloody rain that will eventually be set off, you can no longer open your eyes and see the rising sun in your homeland.
But from the moment he chose to devote half of his life to him, he did not hesitate to give his entire life for him.
She quietly groped for a dagger from her cuff and presented it to him: "This is made by the most famous craftsman of the pigeon tray, if the master does not dislike it, take it with him." ”
"You keep it for yourself, I don't need this kind of thing." He only looked up for a glance, then withdrew his gaze.
Retracting the outstretched hand and holding the dagger tightly in the palm of her hand, Concubine Wen's eyes stared at his name engraved on the scabbard: "It's the pigeon that is abrupt." ”
"I heard he's in love with that woman?" After a long silence, he opened his lips lightly.
Concubine Wen nodded: "Back to the master, Chaoge once wanted to find a chance to get rid of her, but it didn't work, and then she also found a way to get close to her, but that woman seemed to be very defensive." ”
