Chapter 35: Annoyance
Bai Yi was a little puzzled: "What do you mean?" β
Hou Cong shook his head slightly, unable to confirm that he understood the truth behind it, "We can only say that Chengguo Xiaozuo, who instructed the cook and the coachman to kill Mo Chang, was killed by another group of people for some reason." Mao," he asked Yuan again, "has early autumn been here?" β
"I've been here, and I recognized one of them, and it was indeed the one from last night."
Hou Cong instead raised the corner of his left mouth and smiled, "It's interesting, that person led us here, and maybe also led others here." He who wants to kill is killed by others. β
Bai Yi tilted his head, "Could it be the three assassins from last night?" The three people who want to kill you? β
Hou Cong didn't speak, he gradually had a vague shape in his heart, but he needed to make further confirmation. Just as he was thinking, he found that Bai Yi was not by his side, and he didn't know where to run to see the excitement. As soon as he was in a hurry, he first looked in the direction outside the courtyard gate and saw Murong Xing's busy shadow, so he walked towards the room.
Sure enough, Bai Yi was like the puppet doll he had been holding for nine years, motionless, standing under the beams of a house at the very end, looking upward, without speaking or blinking. He walked up to her lightly and looked as far as her line of sight could see: on one side of the red lacquered beam, there was an old red inscription the size of a thumb, and if you didn't pay attention, you really couldn't see itβa butterfly pattern, quietly embedded there.
Hou Cong immediately called: "Mao! Come here, get a copy of this rubbing! See who recognizes! β
This sound woke up Bai Yi, she panicked, in the opposite direction of the person who made the sound, and hurriedly retreated a long way, her eyes flashed with despair and coldness in her vigilance, which made Hou Cong feel terrified.
"The eldest son." Her tense body relaxed, and her fighting posture was retracted, "It turned out to be you." β
Bai Yi didn't explain anything, half-bowed his head, bypassed Hou Cong, and walked out of the room.
The phoenix butterfly pattern is the family crest of the Bai family.
To whom could she say that? She had returned to reality from her memories, and she even knew that Hou Cong was following behind angrily, asking her, "What's wrong with you?" β
Bai Yi turned to look at Hou Cong and smiled slightly, "It's nothing." β
Hou Cong felt even more sad in his heart than when he saw the abnormal appearance of the white clothes just now. Because he knew that Bai Yi had just told a lie. She had something, and it was extremely important, to hide from herself.
I didn't think about being close or not, but I didn't know that I was already close, and all of a sudden, the two of them were separated. Hou Cong walked out of the hall, looking at the white clothes in a daze, not knowing where to stand, looking at the busy appearance of the person in the henchman of his subordinates, the whole world seemed to be covered with a glass cover, covering Hou Cong outside.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" He still couldn't hold his breath in front of Bai Yi, and walked over to ask her.
"Oh, that, isn't there a kite on that wall in the house? I remember when I was a child in Jiangnan, my family also made such kites, which is different from your north, and ours is much bigger. Big, big kites...... Alas, just now, I saw things and thought about people, just, just, I didn't see the eldest prince go in......"
Hou Cong looked into her eyes, knowing that she had sinned on top of sin, and told another lie. But her fragile glass made him unable to ask any more questions, and he was even ready to be confused, "Do you like kites?" That's what the house is. You wait for me to make you the biggest and best-looking, especially fun, put it in the sky, no one has ever seen it. β
Bai Yi smiled, vain, distant, evasive laughter.
This made Hou Cong rare and confused for the first time in his life, and immediately disappeared. "Mao!" He shouted, and Murong Xing hurried over.
"Take this dead girl back to the Hou Mansion and let her not leave an inch. She dares to lie to her master, see how I clean her up after I'm done! β
Murong Xing agreed with the word "yes". Bai Yi didn't even have the desire to explain, turned around and followed him. Hou Cong listened to the sound of the sedan chair leaving, and felt extremely lonely. He couldn't understand her, and he couldn't train her after so much effort; With so much heart, she actually lied to herself.
No one has ever done this to himself, and he doesn't know whose fault it is. Even more angry that he cares so much.
When the messy things here were over, Hou Cong returned home, didn't eat dinner, went into the tool room, and never came out. Bai Yi stayed alone in the courtyard where Hou Cong lived on weekdays, watching the sunset and moonrise, holding little Hou Cong, not knowing what was going on.
Qing Song just brought her dinner.
"Well, are they back?" Bai Yi asked after eating.
Qing Song sighed, thinking that only he could solve such a thing, "Girl, the three captains are back, eat and drink, and rest in the guest room." Our eldest son hasn't eaten! Didn't even drink a sip of water! β
"What's wrong with him?"
Looking at the appearance of Bai Yi, it doesn't seem that he doesn't care. Qing Song sighed again, "Miss Yuwen, how is our eldest son treating you?" β
Bai Yi didn't speak, and looked down at "Little Hou Cong", as if asking it for the answer.
Qingsong couldn't wait, "Don't say anything else, I'll give you such a fun one." You can't leave him alone! He's a sick man, and he got it because you defeated him! β
Only then did Bai Yi look up at Qing Song, "Oh." So what do you say? β
"Coax him."
"Huh?"
"Coax the eldest prince."
"What do you mean?"
Qing Song felt that Bai Yi had just woken up. Not to mention the eldest son, even he is so angry that he is sick.
"My girl, that is, to say good things, to please him, to flatter and flatter, to be coquettish and foolish. Let's put it this way, learn from the girls upstairs, it's early autumn and late winter. What about men? You go and coax our General Xiaohou like this, he is crazy, and he didn't say hello to the old general and old lady at night! Only if you coax him will work. Perhaps, when the eldest prince hears your voice, he will be happy, come out to eat, and then go to bed and rest on an errand. Otherwise, I don't think I can get through this time. No amount of expensive medicine will do. β
Bai Yi was innocent in the end, so he was fooled by Qing Song, and before Qing Song could say the other pair of words that Qing Song had prepared, Bai Yi walked to the tool room with Xiao Hou Cong in his arms.
She pushed the door open and closed it from the inside, leaning on it and listening, except for the sound of sawing wood and the occasional footsteps.
Qingsong, who had just been proud for a long time, felt that he had been defeated, and hurriedly went over to urge, "My ancestor, Miss Yuwen, let you coax the eldest prince, how did you hear it." You've been listening for two quarters of an hour. It could have been saved, but this time it's over, it's over, it's over, it's definitely going to be over this time. β
Bai Yi's face was embarrassed, but she seemed to have made up her mind, she pinched her throat and shouted: "Big Prince! β
Even Qingsong had goosebumps, and her hairs stood up instantly, thinking that this girl is really a goblin, and she can talk so charmingly!
Unfortunately, the situation in the tool room is still the same. I couldn't even hear a cough.
"I was wrong, eldest prince," Bai Yi tried to coax people, while watching Qing Song gesture to her, he actually had a heart, and comprehended most of the words made up by Qing Song: "Grand Prince, you are the most handsome man in the world, the most wise and martial general." You are the best soldier in the world, you are the moon, sun, and stars in my heart, and nothing can be done without you. Oh no, you can't do anything! Come out to eat! β
The two of them waited together outside the door.
Useless.
Qing Song felt that he was going to make a big move, so he pulled the white clothes to the guest room, "Captain Dugu, your love songs, teach us Miss Yuwen a song." β
This is exactly what Duguzheng is good at. However, he shook his head and denied two tracks in a row by Murong Xing and Yuan - too explicit. Several men chose and chosen, and decided on a song. Two quarters of an hour later, Bai Yi, accompanied by Qing Song, returned to the outside of the tool room again, and there were three more people in the "coaxing team": Murong Xing, Dugu Zheng, and Yuan You.
Even the puppet in white was handed over to Qingsong, ready to sing seriously, she began to sing with a thin and slender voice: "A hundred flowers bloom in spring, the slave's heart has not opened, Lang rides a white horse, and the slave is in Lang's arms." My tears shake your heart and eyes, and call out my lang, little girl. β
Dugu Zheng also commented: "The last sentence is not emotional enough. Yuan covered his mouth again.
The five of them held their breath and listened, but there was still no sound in the room. Bai Yi was anxious, rolled up his sleeves and shouted: "Hou Cong, you are my subordinate!" Don't think you're great! Ignore people for no reason! Aren't you just afraid of losing? Come out, I'll let you and give you a chance to win! β
Qingsong and Murong Xing gasped, and they were so frightened that they couldn't run. The door opened, and Hou Cong, who had a gloomy face, like a humanoid dark cloud, really came out.
Bai Yi thought in his heart, what Brother Changkong said, it was really right, to deal with Hou Cong, using the method of agitation, tried and tested repeatedly.
"What is better than what, you pick, I don't need you to let me, I will definitely win you!"
Hou Cong pinched the chin of the white clothes, his face was close to his face, his eyes were glaring, and he roared at her.
