Chapter Eighty-Five: Hidden Text: Surprise Autumn
That woman in red wants to kill me for the sake of Turbidity!
Peach sales building in Chengdong City, Karzhou
When Wanqiu heard an unusual noise coming from the West Chamber, it was only three o'clock.
Because of the continuous medication, her spirit has been greatly damaged. Originally, I didn't sleep very well when I first came to Taopinlou, but now with the strength of the medicine, even if the sleepiness is strong, it is still dizzy and difficult to sleep.
Thinking that the people below were working hard all day long, she was reluctant to wake up the girl to serve and freshen up at this hour, so she had to put on a thick coat at will, and rubbed her faintly aching temples on the chaise longue. At this moment, when she heard a faint noisy sound from the west wing, she couldn't help but wonder - Gui Ying is the most sleepy beauty who can't wake up even when thunder, and she should still be sleeping sweetly at this hour, so where does this noise come from, don't be a greedy and lustful little guy who looks at the beauty of the young owner's family, and wants to do something bad while people are not prepared, right?
Thinking like this, Wanqiu was bold and tiptoed to the west. But I saw the door in front of me wide open, which bedroom was not Gui Ying? Listening carefully, it was the voice of two men whispering. She swallowed nervously, pulled off a plain glass hairpin from her bun, held it in her hand, and slowly moved towards the door.
"-Who!"
The heart almost jumped out of her throat, Wan Qiu screamed and jumped back a few steps in succession, and retreated straight to the staircase leading downstairs before stepping on the corner of her skirt and falling to the ground. He looked behind him along the sharp blade that was no more than an inch away from his throat—where was the little guy, but it was two masked men in black with very similar bodies staring at him angrily. The two pairs of eyes stared at each other like brass bells, almost like twins.
"Who are you—you're the Tail Cult?"
"What did you hear?"
"I... I didn't have ......"
"Don't ask, Yue. No matter what she heard," she only heard the man in black in the back turn his head sideways and said in a deep voice to the man in front of him who was pointing his sword at him, "The two banner masters are in danger at the moment, so in order to avoid trouble, it is better to get rid of her as soon as possible." ”
Wanqiu was frightened to see the man named Yue in front of him hesitate slightly, and the hesitation in his expression slowly turned into condensed coldness. Taking advantage of this moment's hesitation, she fell backwards violently, and stretched out her hand holding the glass hairpin tightly to the stairwell. The man in black was startled, and he quickly followed the sword.
"-What to do!"
"Don't move!" Wanqiu drank clearly, and the fear in her voice could not be concealed. "If you dare to kill me, I will throw this hairpin down the ladder. At that time, it will alarm others, and it will be difficult for you not to think about it! ”
"What a thief girl, you say I'm afraid of you!"
"—Stop!"
"Axe...?"
The black-clothed man named Axe, who had been hiding behind, suddenly grabbed the sword that stopped the Yue General and wanted to stab out, but saw that he frowned, and his eyes were fixed on the hairpin that Wan Qiu was holding tightly in his hand. I thought in my heart: The glass is brittle and fragile, and it must be very loud when it falls from a height of more than ten zhang on the fifth floor. Not to mention the small house downstairs who is responsible for cleaning in the morning, even the first two buildings in front of me are afraid that they will be alarmed together. If this is the case, then the peace of the two banner owners in the room is really unfavorable.
"What kind of injury has your flag owner suffered, if it alarms the people of Taopinlou, I'm afraid it will not be conducive to peace, right?" But I heard the beautiful girl in front of me as if she had spied on her inner thoughts, and her voice was like a trickle of manman. "But if you can spare my life, and everyone is at peace with each other, I can also ask my doctor to help you take a look......"
"The thief girl is really slippery," the black-clothed man who called Yu scolded him, "Our banner master's martial arts are world-famous, where can we use your doctor to heal you-"
"-Yu!" Hearing his brother's anger, the axe became more and more open-mouthed, and hurriedly shouted, "Don't stop talking!" ”
"If you two keep yelling like this, I'm not going to do anything, and someone will come up to check on you later." Wanqiu reminded, "It's just that who is your flag master, and why do you want to live in my friend Liangui Hotaru's house?" Where is Gui Hotaru, have you already killed her? ”
I saw that the two men in black, who were originally fierce and vicious, looked awe-inspiring when they heard this, and exchanged suspicious expressions with each other. The cold light flashed, but it was Yue who withdrew the sword from its scabbard-
"Do you recognize our bannerman?"
"What?" Wanqiu hesitated a little incredulously, ignoring the axe that was stabbing Yue in the back again and again, "Do you mean Gui Hotaru, Gui Hotaru is your flag master?" ”
"You really know, what kind of friends are you-"
"-Yu!"
"Nature is a great friend." Wanqiu hurriedly said, "What's wrong with her!" I heard her go out last night when I looked for her, didn't she come back all night? But... But was it hurt outside? ”
"Exactly, we were summoned by the flag master to go to Lianyue Mountain overnight, and when we arrived, the two of us were already unconscious." Yue took two steps forward and pulled Wanqiu up and said, "I don't know that the girl is my own person, so I was offended." ”
"Since the girl said that she knew the flag owner, we were embarrassed." But when he saw that the axe also stepped forward, his face was not as sincere as Yue, "It's just that the flag owner is unconscious now, how can we easily believe the girl's words?" ”
"Gui Hotaru hasn't woken up, so it's not enough to wake her up and confirm it." Wan Qiu glanced coldly, then turned his head to Yue and said, "You haven't answered my question yet, are you from the Tail Sect?" ”
"The girl said it easily, if the flag master can easily wake up our two brothers, why should they be so helpless." The axe stopped the Yue who was about to answer Wanqiu, "It's really that the two of you are seriously injured, and it's almost early in the morning, we... We still have a lot of business ahead of us, and we really can't stay longer-"
"- Gui Hotaru is seriously injured? How so! Wanqiu was anxious, "Then what are you still doing here to entangle with me, why don't you tell Aunt Hua to ask her to ask the doctor to come and see!" ”
The Axe brothers glanced at each other again, their faces full of chaotic doubts: "We don't know the relationship between the person in the girl's mouth and the banner owner," the axe frowned and shook his head, "Naturally, we can't easily hand over the banner owner to her." ”
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, do you have to wait until Gui Hotaru dies to be happy?" Wanqiu became more and more angry, "I really want to help her, if you don't want others to know, you can entrust her to me, I promise to take care of her wholeheartedly, and never reveal the slightest rumor!" ”
"But ......"
"What else could it be!" Wanqiu was so anxious that her lower abdomen hurt, "Gui Ying's internal strength is deep, even if she is seriously injured, it is no problem to wake up for a while." No matter how bad it is, you either have another banner master, or wake up that one and let him confront me clearly! ”
The Axe Yue brothers exchanged an embarrassed look again, and after a long time, the Axe finally said solemnly, "Since this is the case, then it will trouble the girl." If what the girl said is true, my two brothers will ask the flag owner for their guilt in the future. But if neither of the two banner owners can wake up, or if they don't know the girl, then please don't blame us—"
"—If what I say is false, I will leave it to you." Wan Qiu's face did not change and said, "It's just that since you have said ugly things in front, then I also have to ask my own questions clearly." Answer me, are you and Gui Ying from the Tail Sect? ”
"Yes."
Unexpectedly, the axe answered so quickly, Wanqiu was caught off guard, and her whole body was pierced like thousands of steel needles.
Stunned, her mind drifted back to the nightmarish night twelve years ago, which she could never forget for half her life—the originally peaceful and quiet night sky of Zhenjiang City was half red by the blood of her parents and the raging fire that burned her home. Twelve years, the dazzling red is like a ghost, entangled with himself for a whole twelve years, robbing him of the most carefree childhood in his life, and even all the happiness of his youth.
Fortunately, she didn't tell Gui Hotaru that day, and she actually knew that her powerful and murderous enemy was the Tail Sect.
The Yuxi Heavenly King of the Tail Sect Gangfeng Banner, the Longtan Xianyun of the Water Banner, and the unknown new banner master of the Chiyan Banner.
"Then you... No, Gui Hotaru, which flag are they? ”
"Gangfeng Banner." "We don't know the true name of the Banner Master. The name you mentioned, the subordinates have only heard it from the mouth of the deputy flag master. Does the girl have any other questions? ”
If all the strength in her body was drained, Wanqiu felt that her body was no longer her own, except for the faint pain in her lower abdomen due to the power of the medicine.
Hearing the sound of the axe coming from thousands of miles away, he could only nod mechanically and indifferently. The axe seemed to be aware of the abnormal demeanor of the beautiful woman in front of him, but he didn't know whether to ask or not. After thinking about it for a while, he still felt that it was inappropriate, so he could only nod his head and pull Yue to the room.
Wan Qiu looked at the two almost identical figures in front of her with their backs to her and slowly walked away, only to feel dazzled, but her heart was extremely clear and full of mixed feelings, as if she had seen this chaotic and hypocritical world for the first time.
