Chapter Twenty-Three: The Lord of the County at the Wall
Zeng Jiuyan and Li Fengyu are actually a little familiar with this voice, but they really can't say where they have heard it for a while. However, from the girl's words, several people understood that this was probably the Lord of Yikang who had not appeared for a long time.
Yikang's body deftly supported the eaves on the wall and gently landed in the courtyard in front of the Xichai house. The clothes on her chest and knees were covered with dust because of Fang Cai's movements, but she clapped her hands indifferently, walked up to Bai Yi, and looked up at him.
Although the lower half of the girl's face was veiled, it was not difficult to see - or rather, the half-concealed veil was of no use except to add a little haze.
She had a pair of almond eyes, and her dark pupils glittered in the sunlight, like two jewels set in their sockets. Her face was fair and small, but the girl's childishness had completely faded.
Yikang has grown to the age of thirteen, and all the youth and beauty that belong to this age seem to be able to see a slight shadow on her body.
Li Fengyu gasped and secretly grabbed Zeng Jiuyan's sleeve, "What the...... Is this Yikang!? When did she grow like this? β
Hearing Li Fengyu's voice that he tried his best to suppress but was still shocked, Zeng Jiuyan threw off his sleeves in disgust, "How do I know ......?"
When they went to Xuanqing Temple seven or eight years ago, Zeng Jiuyan and Li Fengyu had seen this Yikang county lord once, and they always felt that the last time they saw her, she was still a bear child with snot and throwing stones at them.
As for how did the little kid with pigtails and a stinky fart grow into such a beauty today......
Zeng Jiuyan couldn't help but take a deep breath.
What a mystery.
Over there, Yikang Baiyi looked at each other.
What Bai Yi didn't expect was that this county lord was also a teenager - she looked taller than Bai Ling, and her figure looked more flexible than Bai Ling, so she should have a relationship with martial arts in the mountains.
In this place, no one will treat a thirteen or fourteen-year-old woman as a child anymore, after all, she has reached the age of talking about marriage.
But Bai Yi is different after all, no matter how annoyed he is, he is not willing to be angry with this kind of girl who is more than a round younger than himself - although the methods she uses are more annoying than one trick.
Yikang gently crossed his hands on his waist, and gently disturbed the beaded flower tassels on his shoulders, "When you see the lord of this county, you don't salute?" β
Bai Yi let out a soft "oh", took a step back, and bowed his hand.
Although Yikang kept a straight face, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl.
Li Fengyu laughed a few times at this time, he walked to the side of the county lord in three or two steps, bowed slightly, and said with a smile, "The little county lord is not harmed, I didn't expect to meet here, it is really fate." β
Yikang glanced at him, "Who are you?" β
Li Fengyu's movements stiffened slightly, "The county lord doesn't recognize me?" β
"Why should I recognize you?" Yikang looked at Zeng Jiuyan, "I recognize the little marquis over there." β
Li Fengyu was dumbfounded, he had countless words to pick up the "Who are you" of the beauty in front of him, but unfortunately each one was too frivolous, and it was good to be amused with the maids at home on weekdays, but it was not suitable in front of the county lord. So he pursed his lips aggrievedly and stared into Yikang's eyes.
This sudden deflated appearance made Yikang sneer.
Seeing the beauty laughing, Li Fengyu looked at Bai Yi and Zeng Jiuyan, and said with a smile, "I'll just say, the county lord must remember, after all, we have already met a few times on the Xuanqing Templeββ"
Yikang directly interrupted Li Fengyu's words, "Don't be close, I don't like to listen to it." β
This time it was Zeng Jiuyan's turn to sneer.
Yikang's eyes fell on Bai Yi in front of him again.
"Actually, the county lord's rabbit was not lost, and it was found last night."
Yikang paced sideways in front of Bai Yi, his eyes grazing towards him from time to time. This posture really made Bai Yi a little uncomfortable, and the girl in front of him looked at him with a little sneer, as if she wanted to press him into the dust.
Bai Yi clasped his hands in his arms, squinted at the adolescent girl in front of him, and whispered, "Oh, a good thing." β
"However, I heard you say that you have a lot of white rabbits here, so I am curious to come and see, so let's just say so, little imperial doctor......" Yikang's steps stood still, "The main thing in this county, there is nothing that cannot be obtained, you can go to the yamen to tell it, your firewood house here, your rabbit here, and your identity as the little master of the Tai Hospital here, whether you can stay tomorrow is all in my thoughts......"
The more Yikang said it, the more he felt unconfident.
Because the tall man in front of him was completely unmoved, he stood there without saying a word, and seemed neither frightened nor annoyed, nor did he have the slightest intention of begging for mercy.
Does this person understand anything? Do you know how to get off the donkey? Is it so hard to say two nice words at this time?
"Bai Yi-" Li Fengyu had already seen a few clues, "It's just a few rabbits, what's wrong with you giving them all to the county lord today?" β
"Don't talk about a few cages," Bai Yi glanced at Li Fengyu, "Now I won't give any of them." β
Yikang's eyes widened, "W-"
Bai Yi looked at the girl in front of him condescendingly, and said softly, "I promised to send you a rabbit, but I pity you for losing your pet, since your rabbit has been recovered, why should I give you another one, my things here are not blowing in the wind." β
"You-"
Bai Yi frowned, "What are you?" What do you think this is? β
Yikang just wanted to open his mouth, but Bai Yi had already spoken.
"This is the Tai Hospital, it is a place to save lives and help the wounded, everyone here is very busy, and I don't have time to accompany His Royal Highness the County Lord to play this boring and childish game at a young age, since His Royal Highness the County Lord feels that everything is in your thoughts, then you go to the Holy Lord to visit me, if you can really let me take off the official robe of the Tai Hospital, I will go to Donglin Temple every year to burn high incense for His Royal Highness."
Bai Yi's every word was said steadily, without ups and downs, but every word was pierced in Yikang's heart like a sharp sword.
It's not that she hasn't tried to appear with a knowledgeable and understanding attitude, but when she was on the side of the medicine field, Bai Yi also interrupted the girl Yingxiang's words in three or two sentences, so that she didn't even have time to show up, so she could only watch him and Zeng Jiuyan run away.
Yikang frowned with some chagrin - the cold, ruthless guy in front of him, and the ...... he saw that night on the shores of Jian'an Lake It's just two people!
Seeing that the county lord's eyes began to reddened slightly, Zeng Jiuyan also slowly came up to play a round game. However, Bai Yi still stood there like a sculpture, not saying a word superfluous.
There was a noise outside the east gate, and it was the apprentice who had left earlier who had rushed over with two or three guards.
The guard at the front was a little confused, he coughed, and said with a calm face, "Yes...... Who's making a fuss here? β
Bai Yi's gaze swept over Yikang and her men, "...... Just send them out. β
After that, he turned around and went straight to the West Firewood Room, and when several apprentices saw this, they looked at each other, and also chased Bai Yi's back and walked inside.
The courtyard of the West Firewood House was half empty.
Yikang bit his lip and watched Bai Yi's back gradually leave.
"Let's go!"
