Chapter 155: Peerless Beauty
After he finished speaking, Zhao Tinglan was silent for a while before speaking. "When I went back to my mother's house in Qiongzhou, I saw Mrs. Dugu who was about to give birth in the inn on the road, and she had a bloody birth, and both mother and child died."
The peerless beauty, falling into such a miserable end, anyone has to sigh, Wei Jiangtong was silent, and helped Zhao Tinglan back to the room.
Zhao Tinglan said a few words to Mu Jiangyuan, Mu Jiangyuan went home, Bai Yiyan thought the news was fake at first, and asked several times, went to the door to see, the team to greet the relatives was indeed gone, leaving only red paper all over the ground.
"What's going on?"
When she was in the Wei Mansion, Bai Yiyan just thought that Zhao Tinglan was a woman with a deep city, but she didn't expect to persuade Mu Jiangyuan to go back in three or two sentences, which really impressed her.
"Presumably Mrs. Wei has other abilities." Mei Changqing said. "But I know Mu Jiangyuan, he will definitely not give up, we will leave tomorrow."
The Mei family was originally in the East China Sea, but since the end of the Qin Dynasty, when they moved to the Central Plains, they settled in Taizhou, close to the East China Sea. The journey from Beijing to Taizhou is long, so naturally the sooner you start, the better.
When he saw Bai Yiyan's face, Mu Jiangyuan was obviously a little disappointed. Bai Yiyan's face is very well pasted, and there are no traces of the original at all. It's just that the body shape is somewhat similar.
"Didn't Ling You say that there was no one in the car? Who is this? ”
Mei Changqing carried his sword, "It's just a friend." ”
Mu Jiangyuan bent down, his fingers pinched Bai Yiyan's face, he used a lot of strength, and when Bai Yiyan felt that his face was about to be torn off, he let go. "It's really not easy to make."
Bai Yiyan's face was pinched red by him, and it really didn't look like he was wearing a human skin mask.
"Since Ling You is with a female dependent, why don't you say a word to this king. If you are not careful, it will hurt the young lady, but it will not be good. ”
After he finished speaking, he held Bai Yiyan's arm and pulled Bai Yiyan up.
"Ling You has always been clean and self-conscious, and he has never had a female dependent by his side. I don't know who this young lady is. ”
As he spoke, an internal force fell down the palm of his hand on Bai Yiyan's arm, and Bai Yiyan reacted instinctively and resisted with internal force. Mu Jiangyuan didn't expect her to be martial arts, and her complexion changed somewhat. let go of Bai Yiyan's hand.
"Ling You is a gentleman, presumably the love in my heart must be peerless, I think this girl is not as beautiful as the third lady of Wei Mansion." Mu Jiangyuan said. "I thought that Ling You Jinwu was hiding Jiaojiao, but now I will be wrong, and I will make a compensation to Ling You and this young lady."
Mei Changqing walked past him and stood beside Bai Yiyan. "Although the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion is overwhelmed, it is only when I am in distress in the north that Qingqing saves me, and I can return to the capital." As he spoke, he took Bai Yiyan's hand. "This time is the parents who are going home, marrying Qingqing."
Mu Jiangyuan threw the spear in his hand to his subordinates, reached out and patted Mei Changqing on the shoulder. "I see, this king misunderstood Ling You, since Ling You already has a new love, marry this Qing girl as his wife, then the marriage with the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion will also be annulled."
"I heard that I came to marry the third lady yesterday, is it true or false?" Mei Changqing raised his head, with a sharp edge in his eyes, and took Bai Yiyan behind him.
"Ling You, don't misunderstand." Mu Jiangyuan fiddled with the wrench in his hand, "When this king had a banquet last year, he was in love with the third lady, but Wei Jiangtong's old husband moved flowers and trees and forced the second miss of their family to me, but I just want to ask to marry someone who really likes me after finding out the truth." ”
"Miss Shuyu is also a peerless beauty in the capital of Mingdong, and no one can match the Yaoqin in one hand, so it is better to cherish the person in front of her."
But Mu Jiangyuan just glanced at him, with a complicated expression. The carriage had been destroyed, so Mu Jiangyuan sent someone to lead out two horses.
"Taizhou is far away, Ling You should hurry up, my two horses, I will take Ling You as a footstep."
Mei Changqing thanked him, and Mu Jiangyuan handed over the reins.
"The road in Taizhou is far away and dangerous, so be careful."
I don't know if it's Bai Yiyan's illusion, I always feel that the eyes he looks at him are inexplicably deep and complicated.
Mei Changqing carried her on the horse, and soon left Ulyang Mountain far behind.
Watching the two run away, the subordinates standing beside Mu Jiangyuan spoke cautiously. "Lord Wang, will you let them go?"
"The best human skin mask, if he can't hide it from the world, his title on the rivers and lakes will be in vain." Mu Jiangyuan sneered. "This king will never be mistaken, that woman is definitely Bai Yiyan."
"Then the prince, should we go and chase the third lady back."
"Naturally, it is to chase. However, it wasn't me who sent someone to chase after me. The wrench in Mu Jiangyuan's hand turned around. Tell Zong Xiaoge to send a few masters to bring people back to me. ”
The heart of the moon descends to earth, the enchantress is charming, it is really good, he heard this once fifteen years ago. At that time, I thought it was Dugu Zhi, but Mrs. Dugu died in just one year, even the child in her belly. If that child is there, he should also become a stunning beauty.
The children looked at each other a few times and then gobbled up their meals as if they had never eaten a good meal in their lives.
"Children are not sensible. Clean nonsense, I asked the old woman to cook a new meal for the two of you. The farmer's face was a little angry, and he looked honest, and he gave the children a fierce look.
"It's okay, let's just drink porridge." Mei Changqing said.
"At first glance, the two of them are big people from the capital, how dare we snub the two." The farmer said, "Mother-in-law, let's fry a few more dishes." ”
The peasant woman took the child in her arms to breastfeed, walked out of the door with her arms open, and after a while she came back with two plates, Bai Yiyan couldn't help but be dumbfounded, and after the woman put down the food, she hastily picked up a few mouthfuls of food, and sat down in front of the loom, and while eating, she could hear the sound of the machine without stopping.
The loom Bai Yiyan has only seen it in the museum, but at this time it is real. It's just that the peasant woman is not weaving silk and satin, but ordinary burlap, and the thread spun from coarse linen has been woven half a foot in this time. Although it is coarse linen, there is no lump in it, it is very smooth, and the weavers are highly skilled.
Bai Yiyan was fascinated, so she walked over and watched the shuttle shuttle, in her time, very few people knew how to weave.
"Miss, Grimus? The first breath to see this? The peasant woman took the shuttle in her hand, she spoke in a very heavy tone, Bai Yiyan listened in a daze, nodded, and then shook it again.
"Miss looks like a rich and noble family, these are rough jobs." His husband's official words were good, Bai Yiyan could understand it, and he saw Mei Changqing put down his chopsticks with a smile in his eyes. Bai Yiyan sat back and went to Mei Changqing's side.
The family was not afraid of these powerful people from the capital, and the peasant family simply said a few words to Mei Changqing, and never said a few words to Bai Yiyan. In his eyes, Bai Yiyan was just a vase brought by Mei Changqing.
can't blame him for having this kind of thought, according to his eyes, Bai Yiyan is not a suitable person to work.
Suddenly heard a voice outside, Bai Yiyan hurriedly rushed out to look, and saw the black dog of the housekeeper holding his tail and whining.
"It's probably a wild cat, after drying the fish, the wild cat comes to steal the fish twice in three days." The farmer scolded.
Bai Yiyan glanced at the black dog again, the black dog was still holding its tail, if it was a wild cat, the dog would definitely bark, not be scared like this. There was no sound of pots and pans tipping over.
Bai Yiyan was lying on the bed, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, and turned around to see Mei Changqing also with her eyes open and her hands on her lips.
Bai Yiyan didn't make a sound. The night was silent, and in addition to the sound of breathing and heartbeat, I could hear very small sounds, not the sound of rats squirming, but someone quietly approaching, and it should have been outside the wall.
Mu Jiangyuan really didn't let them go so easily. Mei Changqing got up, quietly took the sword, stood by the window, pushed the window open slightly, saw a few people through the gap, and slowly approached.
The snoring next door was like thunder, and their small movements were not noticeable, Bai Yiyan also held the sword, walked to him, and saw the group of people coming forward, just about to draw the sword, but was held down by Mei Changqing.
Bai Yiyan glanced at him suspiciously, and saw Mei Changqing pointing with his hand, I don't know when a person will fall behind the group of killers, all snow-white, with blue and blue patterns on the neckline, light clothes and slow belts, and behind the group of killers, it is a man, the moonlight is hazy, and he can't distinguish the appearance, he only feels that there seems to be a layer of light around him.
"Why did you want me to go to Ten Mile Gallery?" Bai Yiyan was a little puzzled, Ten Mile Gallery has always had no quarrel with the world, nor does it communicate with the outside world, Mei Changqing said this, Bai Yiqian didn't know what it meant. , Even if she goes to the Ten Mile Gallery, the character of the Dugu family will not keep her.
"The man from the Dugu family must have come for you." Mei Changqing said, placing a post on the table. The fire paint on it is printed with the family crest of the Dugu family.
"The people of the Dugu family, it's not that they don't communicate with the world, why now, I'll hand you the book."
"Open it and take a look." Mei Changqing said. This is the letter of Dugu Ji, the current head of the Dugu family. It's for you. ”
"Give it to me?" Bai Yiqi opened it, but saw that there was only a pattern of family patterns on the paper. "What is this?"
"I asked, but the people of the Dugu family only said that they could keep you safe. Although the Mei family has lived in Taizhou for generations, although Taizhou is temporarily safe, Mu Jiangyuan's people will come back sooner or later. Mu Jiangyuan will not die to you so easily, but I am afraid that I will not be able to protect you in the future. If you go to Dugu's house, I can rest assured. ”
"But why should I go to Dugu's house? It's not that I can't do nothing, I have the internal strength of the Yanshan monks, and I can also help you, you say you can't protect me, and I don't need your protection, I can protect myself. ”
As he spoke, putting aside the letter in his hand, Mei Changqing just looked at her. "Dugujia said that there should be another reason for letting you go to Ten Mile Gallery."
"What is the reason? Is it because of Mrs. Dugu? ”
Bai Yiyan and Mrs. Dugu look seven points similar, Mei Changqing asked her to be Mrs. Dugu's daughter, and the people of the Dugu family may regard her as Mrs. Dugu's daughter, so they invited her to the Ten Mile Gallery.
The answer is yes, as long as you have seen Mrs. Dugu, you will feel that Bai Yiyan is Mrs. Dugu's daughter, so it is inevitable that she will admit her mistakes, but the people in the Dugu family are all relatives of Mrs. Dugu, and naturally they are quite concerned about the daughter left by Mrs. Dugu.
"So you let me go to Ten Mile Gallery?"
Find out if it is the orphan of Mrs. Dugu. This is the first level of things, and the second level of things is to provide protection for Bai Yiyan.
"That's what I mean, too." Mei Changqing sighed. "The people of the Dugu family will send someone to pick you up, and if you go to the Ten Mile Gallery, I can rest assured. Mu Jiang was far from making a move on me before, so he won't now, he just became the regent, and there are still many things that I need to do, if he tears his face with me at this time, it will not be good for him. ”
When he said this, Bai Yiyan's heart relaxed a little and nodded.
The people from the Dugu family came over seven days later, but they were far less amazing than the people who had that night, and they looked like they were just mortals, and they saluted Bai Yiyan. also gestured to Mei Changqing.
Bai Yiyan got into the carriage, lifted the curtain, and saw Mei Changqing standing at the door. He still had something to deal with in Taizhou, and Bai Yiyan wanted to wave goodbye to him, but he took it out and took it back. She always had bad feelings in her heart.
It only took five days on the way back to the Ten Mile Gallery, and the Ten Mile Gallery was full of bamboo forests, and the horse-drawn carriage passed through the emerald green bamboo sea.
Passing through the bamboo sea, you saw the stone steps, go up along the stone steps, see the pillars on both sides of the stone platform, the pillars are not like other families carved with lions, but there are two foxes carved on the top, the fox gives birth to nine tails, looking down at the mountain gate, as if there is a smart atmosphere. The relief on the door is also a family crest. Bai Yiyan got out of the carriage and saw someone open the gate, the yard was planted with green bamboo and pear trees, the paper door was on the floor, the paper door was sideways, and there were two children wearing white background robes, looking at her from a distance through the paper door.
"Where's your father?" Bai Yiyan bent down.
"Daddy went out early in the morning, and he will be back in a while." Dugu Bai said, pulling Bai Yiyan's sleeve and bringing Bai Yiyan a cup of tea. "Auntie, please have tea."
Bai Yiyan took the tea and thanked him. "You may be mistaken, I'm not your aunt." Bai Yiyan said.
"Daddy said yes."
"Your dad might be mistaken, too." Bai Yiyan said. "I just look alike."
Having said that, Bai Yiyan was still a little uncomfortable.
Ten Mile Gallery is far away from the world, and the news of the outside world is not very well-informed, Dugu and often absent, Bai Yiyan accompanied Dugu Bai and Dugu Lan two children to play, after a long time, they became acquainted, these two children are cute and tight, and well-behaved and sensible, unconsciously half a month has passed, Dugu and have never said anything about verifying their identity, and Bai Yiyan has not mentioned it.
It's just that Bai Yiyan didn't expect that trouble would come to the door so quickly.
No one has ever dared to trespass in the Ten Mile Gallery, but today is different, although Dugu Bai is young, he has already noticed that something is wrong.
"Auntie, you rest first, Daddy hasn't come back yet, and a foreigner is coming."
With that, he jumped out of his chair. Bai Yiyan looked at him. "You're like this, it's okay."
"It's fine." Dugu Bai said, and went out with a piano, which was only slightly shorter than him, Bai Yiyan couldn't rest assured, and quietly followed.
The people who came were a group of black-clothed people, who obviously knew the rules of the rivers and lakes and looked vigilant, but what they saw was a five or six-year-old boy with obvious ridicule on his face.
"This is the person of the Dugu family? But a little ghost, what's so scary? A masked man said. Little ghost, are you not weaned yet. Then, he leaned back and laughed again.
Dugu Bai didn't care about their ridicule at all, holding the piano with one hand, although his voice was childish, with his serious face. "Who is coming, dare to trespass on my Ten Mile Gallery."
"Little ghost, who are you? Go home and feed, if you leave late, we won't have the patience to leave you with this little life. ”
Bai Yiyan couldn't help but sweat, clenched Aoyue, and saw that Dugu Bai had not retreated at all, his clothes were windless, and his childish face was serious. "If you don't come to my Ten Mile Gallery to avoid trouble, it is a provocation, and if you take a step forward, you will kill it."
His words did not have a deterrent effect, but caused a burst of ridicule from the people opposite, and even took a step forward defiantly.
"I'll go, can you help me, take a piano to play music? Get back in here, until your mother's womb is breastfeeding. I'm happy, and I can spare you ......."
Before he could say the word, a string had passed through his throat. The strings were retracted, still shiny and without a trace of blood.
"I've warned you to go one step further and you'll kill them."
Bai Yiyan, who was hiding behind and watching, was not only stunned. At a young age, Dugu Bai can actually drive the strings to kill the enemy, Bai Yiyan finally knows why the Dugu family can live in seclusion in the Ten Mile Gallery, and set the rules, and have nothing to do with the outside world. The Dugu family is worthy of its name, even a six-year-old child has such strength, Bai Yiyan felt a little cold sweat behind him. That Dugu Ji's strength is not comparable to the Yanshan monks at their peak. Although Bai Yiyan had never seen Yun Zhiyao's demeanor back then, he also knew a little bit from Mei Changqing's mouth. is like the sky, but it can't be compared to Dugu. Fortunately, the Dugu family doesn't ask about the world, otherwise the Central Plains Martial Arts, where would there be their opponents.
"You wait for me."
Just wanted to put aside a cruel word, and after a few jumps, he hid in the bamboo sea and stretched out.
Dugu Bai let out a long breath.
"Auntie. You come out. Dugu Bai said, turning his head to look in Bai Yiyan's direction. Bai Yiyan just came out,. "How can you have such attainments at such a young age."
Dugu Bai just smiled and didn't answer Bai Yiyan's question.
The people of the Dugu family have always been mysterious, and Bai Yiyan no longer asks, this kind of ability is only available in the Dugu family, there must be some secret that is not known to the outside world, how to say it, she can't be regarded as a member of the Dugu family, and it is inevitable that Dugu Bai is unwilling to tell her.
"Auntie, why did you come out, I'll just take care of these things." Dugu Bai stretched out his hand to hold Bai Yiyan's hand, his hand was soft, placed in Bai Yiyan's palm, took Bai Yiyan's hand, and walked up the steps.
"Who did I hear my name mentioned, did they come looking for me?" Bai Yiyan looked back and saw that the killers were gone. Only the bamboo shadow swayed, and it was possible that those people had not left yet, but were just watching around.
If these killers are here to find her, then I am afraid it will bring trouble to the Dugu family. The Dugu family stands proudly in the world, ignoring the world, and Bai Yiyan doesn't want to involve them in the world.
"It doesn't matter. Daddy said that he wanted to protect his aunt and would not let other people touch his aunt. Dugu Bai said. My aunt just lives in the Ten Mile Gallery, not only Daddy, but Lan and I will also protect Auntie. ”
Although the generations are now intermarried, the blood of the demon is very meager, but there is still the blood of the demon. With such a bloodline, his martial arts attainments are also one level higher than those of mortals. Dugu Ji said. Since you are your aunt's daughter, you should also have the bloodline of the Dugu family, but you didn't deliberately guide it. Like Bai, he can already use his bloodline freely. Bai Yiyan looked at his hands, which was too unbelievable. could have passed on the internal force to her, but Bai Yiyan felt that it was already incredible.
"But I, really not Mrs. Dugu's bloodline, I heard that Mrs. Dugu died in childbirth fifteen years ago, and both mother and child died."
Dugu and frowned. "The fairy will never admit it. There must be something that you don't know yet. ”
Bai Yiyan was silent, although she couldn't believe it, but there were too many unbelievable things, and she had to believe it.
"Where did my aunt die?"
In fact, Bai Yiyan shouldn't be surprised anymore when something appears, just looking at the statue like this, I don't know if it's an illusion, the statue seems to have changed its movements.
"Although I traced my aunt's whereabouts, after all, it has been a long time, and I have never met anyone at that time. It's as if everyone who has seen my aunt has evaporated from the world. Now it is even more difficult to find out the whereabouts of my aunt. ”
Mrs. Dugu's appearance, compared to once you have seen it, it is difficult to forget, if you say that one of the people who has seen Mrs. Dugu before is gone, Bai Yiyan doesn't believe it, as if someone deliberately erased it.
Even if Mrs. Dugu is crowned with a Jingshi, in the eyes of others, she is just an ordinary beauty, and there is no reason to erase people who know her whereabouts. And when Mei Changqing checked, she could still find her whereabouts. This clue must have been broken in the past two years.
"That's it." Dugu said. "In a few days, I will go to Qiongzhou and bring back my aunt's bones. Although my aunt is not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, she should also be allowed to go home. ”
Perhaps, the place that Dugu Zhi really wants to return to is the Valley of Forgotten Worries. Although I don't understand the reason that day, Yun Zhiyao really loves Dugu Zhi, and Dugu Zhi can defect to the family for Yun Zhiyao, and it must be a deep friendship. Bai Yiyan couldn't bear to speculate, the truth must only be known to Mrs. Dugu herself.
Bai Yiyan looked at her hands, although things were supernatural, but she couldn't believe that she was the daughter of Mrs. Dugu. She has the memory of the main master, although Wei Jiangtong and Zhao Tinglan do not care for her very much, Bai Yiyan is indeed their biological daughter, and she has never seen Mrs. Dugu.
"If Dugu Gongzi goes to Qiongzhou, can you take me with you?" Bai Yiyan asked, "You said that my background is like this, and you want me to go and see it for myself." ”
When Dugu Ji looked at Bai Yiyan, there was a complicated look in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't take you with me." Someone outside has posted portraits everywhere, I want to find you, I don't have the same superb disguise skills as Mei Gongzi, it is safer for you to stay in the Ten Mile Gallery. ”
There are portraits posted everywhere, presumably Mu Jiangyuan is still not giving up, and he must find her. In this way, Bai Yiyan can only stay in the Ten Mile Gallery.
"Don't worry, the Ten Mile Gallery is the boundary of the rivers and lakes, and the people in the rivers and lakes dare not set foot easily, even if he sends officers and soldiers, he does not dare to act rashly." Dugu said. "White and blue will be with you, too."
Bai Yiyan nodded, and followed Dugu out of the ancestral hall.
Mu Jiangyuan has countless beauties, Yan is thin and fat, what kind of beauty has not been seen. Why do you have to be attached to one of her? Bai Yiyan thought that there was nothing extraordinary, and there were no secrets on him, why did Mu Jiang far from looking for him.
"What kind of king are you, what are you looking for your aunt to do, if you want to take your aunt away, don't dream."
"The little boy is not right." The man at the head said. "We were just ordered to hurry up and give Miss Wei a gift, but Miss Wei's identity became really fast, so she became a member of the Dugu family, which really amazed her subordinates."
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Bai Yiyan stood up.
The man was on a horse, and glanced at Bai Yiyan condescendingly, his face was clearly mocking, and a person behind him threw a narrow wooden box in front of Bai Yiyan.
"The gift has been delivered, if Miss Wei wants an answer, just notify her subordinates, and her subordinates will wait for Miss outside the Ten Mile Gallery." After he finished speaking, he glanced at Dugu Bai playfully. "Little boy, my family is retiring."
They actually left like this, Dugu Bai was very surprised. Bai Yiyan had already opened the box, as if his body had lost support, and knelt on the ground.
The sword of deception is broken, what about the person who uses the sword? Bai Yiyan didn't have time to take care of the wounds on his hands. Mu Jiangyuan sent someone to send the broken sword over, and he was sure that she would come out.
