Chapter 43~44 Dark Passage | Sisters are easy to marry
"The place we first arrived, I only saw the slings on the cliffs, if this is used to practice light exercises, it must be the best way." Ning Xiang's eyes couldn't help but light up when she saw the training ground, "Is this the place where the generals train?" It looks magnificent. ”
Seeing Ning Xiang's praise of King Xiao's hiding camp like this, Ouyang Shaoqian blindfolded her with one hand from behind her: "Don't look at him like this, go back and take you to my place to have a look." ”
"The soldiers trained by the Protector have always been known for their bravery, why do you look gentle?" Ning Xiang tilted her head, just in time to see the tip of Ouyang Shaoqian's chin, and felt that she wanted to take a bite inexplicably.
Ouyang Shaoqian looked down at the little girl's big watery eyes and blinked, and felt his heart crisp: "I said, did you forget when you saw me blushing at that time?" ”
"What does that look like?" Ning Xiang turned around, "What are you talking about, why don't I remember." ”
"That's when you bumped into me on the street." Ouyang Shaoqian pursed his lips, wasn't it because of him that this little girl was blushing at that time?
The man here was nervous about whether he was being amorous, but he saw that the little girl suddenly covered her cheeks with her hands and lowered her head: "Oh, you saw it all?" ”
"I've seen it all." Ouyang Shaoqian gently pressed his face to the top of Ning Xiang's hair, I don't know why, the closer he got to her, the more stable his heart became.
I always saw my father following my mother in his spare time, and what I didn't understand at the time is quite a feeling now.
Ning Xiang only felt warm all over her body, and found that she was surrounded by this person again, smelling the faint fragrance emanating from his body, Ning Xiang was also quite attached to the time at this moment, if it stopped, it would be good.
Ning Xiang tilted her head sideways, just as she could be close to Ouyang Shaoqian's chest, and her eyes were slightly sideways to the dark woods.
After all, he is a person who practices martial arts, standing here and listening to the sound of the wind in his ears, Ning Xiang suddenly felt that the movement here was not quite right, so he pricked up his ears to distinguish himself.
"Shaoqian, isn't it a little strange for you to listen to the wind here?" Ning Xiang listened carefully for a moment, then raised her head and asked.
Ouyang Shaoqian heard this, and also thought carefully, the direction of the wind should be from the valley, but in his ears, there was a "woo" movement like the wind through the hall, as if it was blowing from a cave.
But where can you find a cave in this forest surrounded on all sides?
The two glanced at each other, Ouyang Shaoqian took Ning Xiang's hand, and cautiously poked over to the place where the wind was blowing.
When they first entered the dark woods, their vision gradually blurred.
Ouyang Shaoqian took out a huge night pearl from his arms, which instantly illuminated the road ahead.
Seeing this, Ning Xiang silently withdrew the fire fold she had just taken out.
Above their heads were a series of branches intertwined with each other, and the green leaves blocked the sunlight, so that there was no light in the trees.
Walking in with the sound, it didn't take long to see a small black hole appear in front of him, Ouyang Shaoqian frowned, he really didn't know whether to take Ning Xiang with him.
Ning Xiang saw that Ouyang Shaoqian stopped and stopped moving forward, so he tugged at his sleeve and asked, "Why did you stop?" Why don't you go in and have a look? ”
"This cave is too weird, so we'd better be careful." Ouyang Shaoqian pressed Ning Xiang's shoulder, "I smell the smell of gunpowder." ”
"I smell it too, so what?" Ning Xiang said helplessly, "Look at this cave, it seems that the wind is very loud, but in fact, most of it is an echo, even if there is gunpowder, it can't be ignited, and when the air inside is exhausted, where can there be fire?" ”
"That..."
"You buried it with Su Jingchen in the Zhizhou Mansion, it is estimated that it is only a drop in the bucket, and the smell of gunpowder here may be the ones left over from the explosion of the cave, which is not the same thing at all." Ning Xiang immediately saw what Ouyang Shaoqian was worried about, "Don't worry, let's go and see, how can someone dig a tunnel from the middle of the mountainside, won't it become a pangolin?" ”
Ouyang Shaoqian thought about it carefully, and felt that what Ning Xiang said was indeed reasonable, so he didn't bother anymore, just asked her to wait at the entrance of the cave and go in and explore it by herself.
Ning Xiang knew that Ouyang Shaoqian was worried about her, so she didn't insist on following up, but just took out a roll of golden silk from her arms and wrapped it tightly around Ouyang Shaoqian's body twice.
"Where did you get this thing?" Ouyang Shaoqian was very surprised, "You are only afraid of the salary of the army for a year, right?" ”
"It was left to me by the master, saying that it was for me to make armor to protect my heart, but I haven't done it yet."
"No wonder you keep it close to you." Ouyang Shaoqian touched the extremely fine golden silk and sighed, "Gang Master Li really loves you, this thing should be an heirloom." ”
"Grandpa has always thought about me, but I was stupid and failed his kindness." Ning Xiang mentioned Li Yingzhong, and she was about to cry again.
Ouyang Shaoqian hurriedly changed the topic, and didn't dare to continue: "I'll go in and take a look, if you find that there is danger, just pull this silk twice, and you can run quickly." ”
"There won't be any danger." Ning Xiang pinched the rest of the silk in her hand, preparing to release it little by little when Ouyang Shaoqian entered.
"Since you say so, then I can go with confidence."
Ouyang Shaoqian made a joke, but was slapped by Ning Xiang.
"Can't you say something auspicious? Don't go yet. ”
Ouyang Shaoqian saw that Ning Xiang's tears were contained, so he turned around with peace of mind and walked along the entrance of the cave.
Ning Xiang was right, the air in this cave was quite thin, unlike the small mountain range in the city where he was before, this cave was artificially exploded, just afraid that there would be something hidden inside.
The more he walked in, the more Ouyang Shaoqian felt that the cold was pressing, and he could vaguely feel a murderous aura.
"It's weird."
Ouyang Shaoqian muttered and walked forward, but he tripped over something on his feet, and after a rumbling sound, a huge hole appeared in the ground in front of him.
"A hole in a hole?" Ouyang Shaoqian looked at the mechanism he accidentally kicked and felt that this was just an extra move.
He stepped forward, but saw several huge wooden boxes stacked in the dark hole, and the chain was not attached.
Is this because you think the mechanism is very hidden and will not be discovered? Ouyang Shaoqian snorted and laughed.
Lifting the lid of the box, a strong smell of tung oil came to his nose, Ouyang Shaoqian probed the night pearl forward, and found that the box was full of extremely new blades, and the spears were neatly placed in it, looking at the number of them.
Did you accidentally find the place where King Xiao hid his blade?
Ouyang Shaoqian only felt that Ning Xiang was really his lucky star.
Closing the lid and restoring the mechanism to its original state, Ouyang Shaoqian got up and walked out.
went straight to the entrance of the cave and found Ning Xiang waiting there obediently.
When Ning Xiang saw him come out, it was impossible not to worry, even if he knew that there was no other person's breath in the cave, but if there was an ambush or something, he would inevitably have to resist for a while.
The golden silk in his hand had been very stable, until Ouyang Shaoqian came out, and Ning Xiang knew that it was okay.
"What did you find?" Ning Xiang stepped forward to untie the golden silk on Ouyang Shaoqian's waist, so that the two of them would inevitably get closer.
"Master, something happened to the Zhizhou Mansion."
A secret guard suddenly fell in front of the two of them, and reported to them very blindly.
Ouyang Shaoqian only felt a chill in his arms, and the little girl had already bounced away a long way.
"What's the matter?"
Seeing that the master was in a bad mood, the secret guard didn't know what was going on, so he could only tremble and continue: "Jiang Zhizhou seems to have decided to let Miss Ning Xiang marry instead of Miss Jiang. ”
"Why is that?" Ouyang Shaoqian frowned, how could this matter change for a while?
"Jiang Zhizhou seems to want to show favor to the imperial court." Dark Wei frowned, thinking carefully about what he heard in the Zhizhou Mansion, "Master, Jiang Zhizhou wants to replace the identities of the two and let Ning Xiang marry into the Xiao Wangfu, and Miss Jiang will marry you." ”
"Can she be willing to commit to a grass people?" Ouyang Shaoqian scoffed at Jiang Yueyue's temperament.
"It seems that it is intended to completely cut off contact with Xiao Wangfu, and Jiang Zhizhou has planned very carefully this time."
"Isn't that also known?" Ning Xiang pursed her lips, "What are you so afraid of him for?" ”
"The subordinates are not afraid, but they feel that this matter is quite strange, and they want to hear the decision of the two masters."
Ouyang Shaoqian subconsciously turned his head and asked Ning Xiang, "What should I do?" ”
Ning Xiang tilted her head: "That's it." ”
"What?" Ouyang Shaoqian raised his hand, wanting to pinch the little girl's slightly bulging cheeks.
"Ahem, the method that Jiang Zhizhou can think of is nothing more than to change people at the wedding, and when the hijab is lifted, this thing will be done."
"Do you still want Xiao Gan's guy to lift the hijab for you?"
"I feel disgusting even thinking about it..."Ning Xiang pursed her lips and looked at Ouyang Shaoqian with some grievances.
"Please also ask Miss Xiang'er to hurry back, I'm afraid that Jiang Zhizhou is looking for a girl everywhere at this time."
"Why didn't you say this earlier!" Ning Xiang heard this, and disappeared in an instant.
The Dark Guard thought he had misunderstood, and looked up.
Ouyang Shaoqian only felt that he had brought a bunch of fools, and he showed his appearance in front of his daughter-in-law, and took advantage of this unpreparedness and kicked him. Seeing that he crawled on the ground and rolled over several times before sticking upside down on the tree, he clicked on the ground, flew up, and chased Ning Xiang away.
In the distance, only a voice came: "Take a few people to check that cave, the mechanism is on the ground!" ”
When Ning Xiang returned to the Zhizhou Mansion, she felt that something was wrong.
Because the poisoning was discovered suddenly, I didn't even have time to think about who had such a great ability to poison myself in this mansion.
If it was Jiang Zhizhou, he wouldn't be able to do it himself, and he had never seen anyone around him who could be used. And this medicine is not good for his plans, why would it...
"Ning Xiang, where have you been?"
When Manfu was looking for Ning Xiang, he saw her appear in front of the eldest lady's mourning hall, Ling'er was alone and couldn't leave without permission, so she could only listen to the little girls looking for people in a panic, anxious but there was no way.
Seeing Ning Xiang suddenly appear at this moment, Ling'er put down a heart that was carrying.
"Sister Ling'er, I just went out of the house to play..."Ning Xiang lowered her head embarrassedly, "I thought that Miss was asleep, and it didn't hurt to sneak out for a while." ”
"Well, that's it, go inside, come to the incense case and smoke some clothes." Ling'er pushed the person in, "You said that you were keeping a wake for the young lady, and you fell asleep here." ”
"What about my sister?" Ning Xiang was pushed close to the incense case, and after a while, her body was covered with fragrance, as if she had been smoking it here for a long time.
"What else can I do, just say that you will disappear when you come back from a trip to the toilet." Ling'er helplessly held her forehead and said, "You just say that you are sleepy, and you fall asleep under the pillars in the house, you are hiding there, and no one can see you if you pass by." ”
"How long have they been looking for me? Is it too late for me to go out now? ”
"Hey, it didn't take long, but the master told you to be in a hurry, you should go quickly."
Ling'er trusted Ning Xiang very much, and privately thought that she would not do anything out of the ordinary, and soon helped Ning Xiang think of countermeasures, and she was also fully prepared to be interrogated.
"Sister is the best for Xiang'er."
Ning Xiang was moved to lean over and rub in Ling'er's arms, and then reluctantly left.
Ling'er looked at the little girl's intimate behavior, and her heart was warm as if she was about to melt away.
The so-called sisters, probably like this, watch and help each other, right?
Ning Xiang went all the way to Jiang Zhizhou, and met a lot of maids on the way, and when she saw her, she was like a cat seeing a mouse, and she pounced one after another, Ning Xiang was like being "moved" to Jiang Zhizhou by a group of people.
"Where have you been?" Jiang Zhizhou's eyes were sharp, as if he wanted to see a hole in Ning Xiang's face.
"Back to the master's words, Ning Xiang just kept a vigil for his wife, and he was sleepy for a while and slept under the pillar."
"Oh? Why did you go to the wake for your wife? Jiang Zhizhou's tone was obviously distrustful of Ning Xiang's words.
And Ning Xiang was no longer as afraid of Jiang Zhizhou as before, and replied calmly: "Miss has been punished, her body is not well, as a slave, she has to keep a wake for Miss for her wife." ”
"You're good." Jiang Zhizhou raised his hand to Ning Xiang and signaled that she could get up.
Ning Xiang stood up straight, still looking down at the ground, waiting for Jiang Zhizhou to speak very regularly.
"You are a good one, and the Zhizhou Mansion needs a slave like you the most, and now there is something I have to ask you to do, are you willing?"
"The slave is willing to go to the soup for the governor's mansion." Ning Xiang replied without hesitation.
Jiang Zhizhou thought that Ning Xiang had a stubborn temper and needed to be comforted, but who knew that the little girl was so simple, but he didn't know what to say later.
Jiang Zhizhou coughed lightly, relieved his feelings, and then said: "I want to break with King Xiao now, and my daughter naturally can't be involved with King Xiao's mansion, and now I can only let you marry Xiao Qian for Yue'er, are you willing?" ”
"Miss loves Xiao Shizi to the bone, please think twice." Ning Xiang said excitedly, it seemed that she really felt sorry for Jiang Yueyue.
Jiang Zhizhou paused and said, "It's okay, she will forget about these things." ”
