After all, in the eyes of these officers and soldiers, if it was Lord Shen and his wife, they would naturally immediately identify themselves when they saw the officers and soldiers, and they would never have imagined that these two would deliberately hide their identities anyway.
At first, they just thought that the timing of these people's visit to the village was too coincidental, and they were afraid that they had something to do with the Assassins, so they were relieved to see that they looked frank and had female relatives accompanying them.
The village chief smiled and invited them to a light meal before leaving, but the officers and soldiers refused on the grounds that they were on official business, and then quickly withdrew, and continued to search around.
Seeing that the people were leaving, Shen Yue said with a smile, "The officers and soldiers of this Shu land never disturb the people as before. ”
"Of course, General Xia has a way of governing the army, and the Xia family army never does anything to disturb the people." Brother He and the other villagers patted their chests, and their words were full of pride.
Ye Xinyi's heart moved slightly when she heard it on the side, she had long heard that the people of Shuzhong worshiped Xia Changhe like a god, and only today did she have a personal experience.
Brother He looked at Shen Yue curiously, "Huh? Has Brother Shen been to Shuzhong before? ”
Shen Yue has already spoken very authentic Beijing films, and when he was in Sichuan and Shu, he could only speak a few words of Sichuan and Shu, but now he has almost forgotten it. He could understand, but he couldn't speak, let alone Ye Xinyi, who left the capital for the first time. Yes, there is no need to cover it up, but it is better to admit it generously. Brother He and the others knew early on that the couple were from the north, and when they heard Shen Yue say this, they would be surprised.
Shen Yue looked as usual, and said with a faint smile, "Yes, I came here once more than ten years ago, and I stayed in Chengdu Mansion for a short time. ”
"Oh, I see." The villagers suddenly realized.
Axi is rare and has no noise, just looking at Shen Yue with a smile, but his eyes are like a deep pool, which makes people peep through.
It's just that the next moment, a pair of eyes that are also as dark as the dark night and the deep sea looked over, and unexpectedly collided with his line of sight, his pupils shrank slightly, but it was only for a moment, but the smile on his face was as bright as the sun from beginning to end.
Shen Yue also smiled faintly, "I feel much better today, I haven't been in this village for so long, can Brother Assi mind being a guide for me and leading me around?" ”
"Brother Shen, I am naturally very happy. If you want me to say, the scenery in this village is really good, there is a waterfall at the back, and there is a waterhole at the bottom, which is magnificent, so I will take Brother Shen to see it. Axi chattered endlessly, and led Shen Yue out together.
Ye Xinyi withdrew his gaze from the backs of the two of them, and inadvertently glanced back, but saw that Ah Xiang was also looking in that direction, but he frowned, and there was a faint worry lingering between his eyebrows.
Ah Xi really led Shen Yue all the way to the back of the village, the mountain road was winding, and there was a stream on the side of the road running down from a high place, the ding dong was crisp, and the chirping of the birds around him was intertwined with the noise of Ah Xi in his ears, uh...... It's very lively.
After walking for a while, the sound of the water gradually became louder, until the boom, the waterfall finally arrived.
The water was not large, but it fell from a great height, and the sound of the water was so loud that it seemed like a drizzle of rain was falling on their shoulders and heads.
Assi stopped, and when they went any further, their clothes would be soaked in the blink of an eye, and the water was noisy, and it was not so convenient for them to talk.
"Brother Shen came from the capital, and he has seen a lot of the prosperity and splendor, I'm afraid that he hasn't seen the natural, simple and beautiful mountains in our southwest, and now he sees it, do you still like it?" Assi asked with a smile.
"There are local customs in various places, I have traveled around when I was young, and I have already seen the mountains and rivers in the southwest, the mountains and rivers, the high gorges and dangerous shoals, majestic and magnificent, which makes people unforgettable. Now it is a blessing to revisit the old place. Since Axi didn't talk to him about business, Shen Yue also smiled and agreed, and talked to him about landscape gossip.
The smile on Axi's face was still very bright, and when he turned his head, near the waterfall, there was a faint layer of mist, and under the sunlight, there was a faint light behind him, and a shallow rainbow of colorful rainbows jumped in the mist.
"Brother Shen's injuries are almost healed, right? Don't know what's next? Speaking of which, I'm really a little surprised, the officers and soldiers who came into the mountains to search around today are looking for Brother Shen, right? Brother Shen actually hid them from him, which made me a little confused. ”
"Brother Assi, don't be presumptuous, with Brother Assi's cleverness, how can you not guess my intentions? However, I really can't guess the intentions of the Assi brothers, so I asked the Assi brothers to explain it to me. Shen Yue put one hand behind his back and smiled slightly, but that smile was a little unreal under the light mist.
"What can I do? Isn't it just that you are thinking about Brother Shen's great kindness, and when you are thinking about nothing to repay, Brother Shen, you will suffer? Ah Xiang and I came in, fortunately, I met you and Sister-in-law Shen, and brought you to this village to settle down to recuperate. ”
This sharp-tongued person can really speak well!
"That being the case, Brother Assi and Miss Ah Xiang don't have to think about my kindness to you all the time, so it's better to find an opportunity to show this kindness now!" Shen Yue curled the corners of his lips and smiled brightly.
The smile on Assi's face was still bright, "Oh? Brother Shen means ......"
"My injuries are almost healed, I look at Miss Ah Xiang should be fine, aren't you going to enter Chengdu Mansion? I can't say that I'm just going to General Xia's mansion, right? ”
Hearing this, the bright smile on Axi's face finally stiffened for a moment, but Shen Yue suddenly disappeared, his low and mellow voice still had a hint of laughter, and he said in a light tone, "I have my reasons, and I don't want to reveal my identity for the time being, so I ask Brother Assi for a favor, let us enter Chengdu Mansion together, and then enter General Xia's Mansion together as your friends, or even as an entourage, how about it?" ”
Shen Yue asked sincerely, Asi was silent for a moment, and then laughed again, "Brother Shen...... Oh! No! Lord Shen is not the same as the rumors, they all say that most of the people who take the embroidered spring knife are ruthless and cold, and they never only look at the results, regardless of the process, Lord Shen can get the trust of the famous emperor, because of good luck. Seemingly...... Those people all underestimated Lord Shen. ”
"The Assi brothers are no different from the rumors, well-read, high-spirited, and have a wide range of friends, they are the best among the young generation in the southwest, and the most outstanding successor of the Shuixi clan."
The smile on Ah Xi's face disappeared little by little, and his eyes were also cold, "Lord Shen already knows our identity?" ”
We...... Naturally, he and Ah Xiang are talking.
In this matter, Shen Yue was really modest, "When I first met in the tea house, I just doubted the identity of Miss An, as for Brother Axi, you ...... It was only in this small village that I was confirmed. Your name is Sister Ah Xiang, there is nothing wrong with that. ”
