Chapter 17: The Girl is Mighty
Xiao Jingyong's body has a cold temperament that is completely inconsistent with his age, not experienced bloody wind and rain, not refined by the sword mountain and fire and the sea of fire, it is innate, after being hidden in the blood and bones for a long time, it blooms like a flower in the season, like the aura blessed by the gods, frowning, raising his eyes, raising his hand, throwing his foot, naturally making people rush to a majesty.
Seeing that Zhu Yuyan also pricked up his ears to listen, the corners of Xiao Jingyong's lips were slightly hooked, revealing an arc that outsiders could not detect, he was originally impatient to reply to Zhu Yuyi, but at this time he also replied patiently, "It's over business, feel free to walk around, and have more knowledge." ”
"Brother Xiao lied to me, why do you still need to gain knowledge? Who doesn't know that Brother Xiao is talented and extraordinary? ”
Zhu Yuyan turned his face away, these words were just people outside complimenting his identity, and later what really made the world know this young man was his great military exploits, his prestige and fierce reputation, and his arbitrariness in the court.
After a while, the meal was passed. Because the Zhu Yuyan sisters are two girls, it is not convenient to accompany them, so they still eat at one table per person. Different from the previous two days on Xiao Jingyong's boat, today's cabin is more elegantly arranged, interspersed with a few high tables, and a potted plant on each of them, in which begonias are planted. It's this season, and the begonias are hanging buds, and the tips are spitting red stamens, but they haven't bloomed yet.
When Zhu Yuyi saw it, she was inevitably sour, and pouted and said coquettishly, "Second sister is really a good method, you have brought you the old way of planting flowers at home?" ”
"You'll have to ask your father about this!" Zhu Yuyan glanced at her lightly.
Zhu Yuyi was silent, but she couldn't calm down, and turned to Xiao Jingyong, "Brother Xiao, are you familiar with my big sister?" ”
Xiao Jingyong swallowed the food in his mouth, raised his eyelids and glanced at her, the corner of his eyes did not leave Zhu Yuyan, and when he saw that she also stopped to listen, he said patiently, "Naturally, we are familiar with each other, and the fourth aunt has always been very kind to my brother and takes good care of her." ”
He saw the corners of Yuyan's lips slowly hooked, looking at him, the two looked at each other, Zhu Yuyan's heart beat very fast all of a sudden, obviously Xiao Jingyong's eyes were very calm, looking at her as if she was an ordinary person, obviously this life was different from the previous life, Xiao Jingyong did not take her to heart, and he didn't have a good impression of her when they met for the first time, but she couldn't calm down when she saw these familiar eyes.
She took a deep breath, realized that she was a little out of shape, and hurriedly turned her face away, as if it was not appropriate not to say a word, and she stammered for a long time before asking, "How is my big sister?" ”
"I haven't seen my fourth aunt for a long time, and I left Shangjing half a year ago. However, since there is no bad news, it is good news, and the fourth aunt should be fine. ”
When he arrived here, the expression on Zhu Yuyan's face gradually dimmed, didn't he receive any bad news from Shangjing until now? At this time in the previous life, Shangjing has undergone earth-shaking changes, the old king is up, he was the imperial grandson who should have inherited the throne, and her husband and brother-in-law in her previous life forced his mother to death and took the throne that should have belonged to him.
When he went all the way to Shangjing, the dust had settled, and he was instead accused of running for a funeral in time.
After the feast, neither of them spoke again. Sending Xiao Jingyong away, Zhu Yuyan returned to the main cabin, Zhu Yuyi was still blowing a cool breeze outside, but in fact, she kept watching Xiao Jingyong's boat. On the other side of the ship, the largest cabin had an open window, and the young man Lang Jun was sitting against the window, playing a tune with a short jade flute, whimpering like a cry, and sometimes high into the clouds, which made people listen to it as if they were fascinated.
Zhu Yuyan listened to it for a while, maybe it was the high emotions in the tune, and she actually had a sense of arrogance. When Han Luo came in, he rarely saw the heroic hair between her eyebrows and eyes, which was different from the depth and indifference of her age a few days ago.
"Bring someone in!"
As soon as Han Luo raised his hand, Zhuang Ju, who had temporarily stopped for interrogation because of Xiao Jingyong's coming, was escorted over again, Zhu Yuyan sat down on the couch, put her legs side by side on the pedal, holding a cup of tea in her hand, and looked like she was sitting on a high phoenix chair, overlooking her subjects.
"One person has escaped, and his subordinates have sent someone to chase him, looking at the direction of the way back." Han Luo knelt down on one knee and asked for sin.
He glanced at Zhuang Ju angrily, this was his mistake, the first time he did it independently, and he made such a mistake.
Zhu Yuyan said lightly, "People, I let them go." ”
As soon as she said this, Zhuang Ju and Han Luo were shocked, only to hear Zhu Yuyan say, "Hengzhu wants someone to go to Qiyue City to report the news, since someone is willing to take the initiative to go, why stop it." However, Han Luo, it is good that you know your sin, and knowing your mistakes can improve a lot, I hope this is the last time! ”
"Subordinate convicted!"
"Don't think I'm picking on you, and don't think I'm being too harsh. If the two armies face each other today, and you let go of a scout, you may be defeated on the battlefield tomorrow. ”
"The subordinates don't dare!"
Zhu Yuyan raised her hand to tell Han Luo to get up, her gaze fell on Zhuang Ju's body, "I remember that before the boat started, I gave you a chance. ”
"The subordinates don't understand what the subordinates have done wrong? The second girl wants to kill her subordinates, and her subordinates don't dare not die, but her subordinates can't die so much that they call Lord Yama a joke, and ask the second girl to make it clear! ”
"Really?" Zhu Yuyan smiled, she picked up a teaspoon and stirred it slowly in the water, there was caramel in it, she even liked to drink sweet water, it was really a funny hobby. She took a sip of it, "If you don't understand, I can't help it." A person he refuses to understand, and he can only die in a daze. You ask me for a reason, but how do I know? I give you a reason, and then you ask me for proof, don't you? ”
"I don't have any evidence for you, I'm a person who does things just by feeling!" Zhu Yuyan smiled, "The third girl is outside, you may be able to call her in, the three of us will talk to each other, how about it?" ”
She beckoned to call Zhu Yuyi in, but Zhuang Ju was already about to pounce on her, begging, "Second girl, spare your life!" ”
When he pounced, the two mothers-in-law beside Zhu Yuyan and Han Luo had already rushed to stop in front of Yuyan, Han Luo was about to make a move, but Yuyan stopped him, "Are you finally willing to admit it?" ”
"Yes!"
"Then tell me!"
Zhuang Ju didn't dare to hesitate any longer, "Five days ago, the general asked someone to bring his subordinates and General Wang Bi over to talk, and instructed his subordinates that if the girl could take care of the third girl, the subordinates would listen to the girl's orders. But before leaving, General Wang called his subordinates to drink again, saying...... Say ......"
"Wushandu is a good place, if you listen to him do something here and tell me to die here, I'm afraid that my father will suspect it, and my sister will have no way to avenge me!"
