Chapter 729: Hiding from the Sky and Crossing the Sea
After bringing Xia Zhixue back, Xingyun trapped her hands and feet on a thick wooden stake, which was extremely strong, and there were some obvious red marks on Xia Zhixue's wrists and ankles.
Xingyun didn't seem to be worried about Xia Zhixue's escape at all, I don't know whether he was confident in his strength or thought that Xia Zhixue was too weak, so he actually took a jar of wine and drank it by himself.
Xia Zhixue couldn't help but feel that this was a good opportunity and began to talk to Xingyun.
"I said, it's so boring for you to tie me up here and drink alone, you let go of me, let's drink together!"
Xingyun, who was about to bring the wine bowl to his mouth, raised his head from the bowl, glanced at Xia Zhixue, did not speak, and took another sip to drain all the wine in the bowl.
Xia Zhixue showed a smile at the corner of her eyes, what she wanted was this effect, people would be idle while others were talking, since Xingyun was drinking, then he would naturally drink all the time.
Grasping this little trick, Xia Zhixue has been talking to Xingyun all the time, from the great mountains and rivers of the motherland to the people of Li under the emperor, what he said is called a reasonable and well-founded leader.
Xia Zhixue saw that Xingyun was almost drunk, so she secretly turned around and took out the small dagger hidden in her sleeve. The dagger was only the length of a little finger, so it's no wonder Nebula didn't find it.
She carefully cut the rope with this delicate little dagger.
Xu is Xia Zhixue's movements were too obvious, even Xingyun, who had drunk a whole jar of wine, found out, walked forward quickly and slapped Xia Zhixue with a palm, and kept muttering: "I soaked this rope in lard, and you still want to escape with this inconspicuous dagger?" ”
The slap of this palm urged the flow of true qi in Xingyun's body, and the wine came up in an instant. Xingyun raised his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, planning to go back and rest for the night first, at this time, maybe Ouyang Huaiyu hadn't found out that Xia Zhixue was missing, so it was not the right time to coerce Xia Zhixue to blackmail Ouyang Huaiyu.
Before leaving, Nebula did not forget to lock all the windows and doors tightly.
On this side, Lotus went to Hua Cheng's room to visit Hua Cheng, who was also injured.
As soon as Hua Cheng saw Lotus carrying a rice basket to visit him, the original painful wound didn't seem to hurt so much. His eager eyes were firmly fixed on the figure of the lotus, for fear that he would miss something in the blink of an eye.
The lotus gently opened the rice basket, and a rich aroma of rice wafted out.
"I made you some of your favorite meals, eat more while it's hot, maybe the injury will heal faster." While speaking, the lotus served rice to Hua Cheng.
"Thank you for your hard work, you have a heart." God knows how much Hua Cheng wants to jump up and cheer at this moment.
Hua Cheng took the bowl of rice in Lotus's hand, but saw that Lotus was a little absent-minded, and the hand holding the rice shook and almost fell.
"Lotus, what's wrong with you, but what has happened to you that makes you uncomfortable?" Hua Cheng saw the frowning brow of the lotus flower by the sporadic candlelight.
Lotus looked at Hua Cheng and stopped talking.
"Lotus, don't let me see you like this, it's so distressing to me, if there is something to say, let's solve it together." Hua Cheng couldn't bear to look at the lotus flower with such a sad face.
After thinking about it again and again, thinking that this matter was related to Xia Zhixue's comfort, Lotus still said it to Hua Cheng.
"Do you know, do you remember the Nebula of the Xingyue Family?" Lotus asked.
"Naturally, I remember." Search the e-book
"Xingyun broke into the palace the day before yesterday, and in order to get out for himself, he held my master hostage and asked Jian Ling to let him go. Jian Ling had no choice but to let Xingyun run away with his master. Until now, Jian Ling has been leading his people to find the whereabouts of his master, and there has been no news so far, I am afraid ......" said this, and there was already a faint cry in the lotus flower's voice.
Hua Cheng, who heard this, was naturally shocked, he had been recuperating in the house, he had never gone out, and he had never thought that such a big thing had happened outside.
"Then does the prince know about this?"
Lotus shook her head and said, "I don't know. She sighed, and then said: "The prince has had a lot of things recently, and we are all afraid that after saying it, the prince will have mood swings and hurt the body, and when my master comes back and sees the prince, I am afraid that I will feel distressed again." ”
"Can you help me keep this matter a secret? Let Jian Gongzi and them search for a period of time, if Xingyun doesn't show up with his master, you can tell the prince about this matter, okay? ”
In the face of such a touching request from the lotus, it was difficult for Hua Cheng not to accept it, but on the one hand, he was the person he loved, and on the other hand, he was his loyal prince.
"Okay, I promise you." Huacheng made a choice.
Hua Cheng knew that if after a few days, Jian Ling had not found Xia Zhixue, and Xia Zhixue had not yet appeared, the prince would definitely suspect it, and when the time came, the prince would be furious. If Xingyun came to threaten them with people, the prince would know that they were hiding it from him, and he would still be furious.
The same goes for the left, the same goes for the right, so Hua Cheng will choose the lotus.
In the early morning of the next day, Ouyang Huaiyu got up early in the morning and ordered someone to groom and dress up.
That's right, he was going to find Xia Zhixue, and of course, he was followed by Jian Ling. Naturally, it was not Ouyang Huaiyu who asked for it, it was Jian Ling who took the initiative to follow, Ouyang Huaiyu had always respected Jian Ling, and when he saw that he insisted on following, he didn't say anything more.
Because he was still injured on his body, Ouyang Huaiyu could only go in a sedan chair, I have to say that Xingyun's strength is really strong, the male protagonist began to worry about Xingyun's whereabouts, leaving such a bomb in the dark, no one would be at ease.
The reason why Jian Ling followed Ouyang Huaiyu was naturally because he was afraid of other people, especially the lotus dew filling. Everyone, only Ouyang Huaiyu was still kept in the dark.
Probably going to see Xia Zhixue, Ouyang Huaiyu was in a good mood along the way. When I entered the yard, I bumped into the lotus flower who was doing things.
When the lotus saw Ouyang Huaiyu, she paused and saluted respectfully, but her palms couldn't stop sweating.
"Hello prince, the prince is here to find Miss?" Lotus felt that her tone was a little trembling when she spoke, and she was even more nervous when she saw Jian Ling behind Ouyang Huaiyu.
Jian Ling shook his head at the lotus slightly, signaling not to be nervous, to be normal.
"What about her? Why didn't you see it yesterday and didn't see it today? Ouyang Huaiyu asked.
"Back to the prince, hasn't Miss been sick recently, and she hasn't been able to sleep well at night, so I asked Lang Zhong to grab a few more soothing medicines and give them to the girl to drink. At this time, the girl had just slept soundly, if the prince didn't go back first, don't open the door and let the girl get cold, and when the girl is better, she will naturally go to the prince as soon as possible. After Lotus said this, her face was not red and her heart was not beating.
"Since the lotus girl said so, let's go back first." Jian Ling added a fire to the side, Ouyang Huaiyu had no choice, and he didn't want to really let Xia Zhixue get cold again, so he had to give up the trip.
If it were me, I would have asked someone to carry it to see Xia Zhixue even if I was sick, and sure enough, I was good. Ouyang Huaiyu thought so in his heart.
Lotus looked at the back of the two of them leaving, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, I was not suspected by the prince."
