Chapter 474
Xuanyuan Jingxi knew in his heart that it was one thing, but whether he could punish him through this matter was another matter. After the autumn reckoning, it is said separately.
When they were about to arrive at the city gate, Xuanyuan Shu and his party met Gu Xiaoye.
Although Gu Xiaoye was wearing a night coat and only showed a pair of eyes outside, Xuanyuan Shu still recognized him at a glance.
The two looked at each other in the dark night through the blazing firelight, and they were both silent.
After a long time, Gu Xiaoye said in a hoarse voice: "Aren't you unwilling to help me?" Why did it come out again? ”
"I can't help you ambush Second Miss, but at least I won't watch you die!" Xuanyuan Shu laughed at himself and said, "You think the signal has been sent for so long, why did King Jing arrive for more than an hour?" ”
"Is that you?" Gu Xiaoye asked in surprise.
"That's right! It's me! Xuanyuan Shu glanced at Gu Xiaoye, and said in a cold tone: "Before you decide to do something, why don't you think about it before you do it?" Do you know that His Royal Highness King Jing has been ordered to leave Beijing in the past few days and has been staying in Jingzhen? It's only an hour away from Qingyun Mountain! ”
When Gu Xiaoye heard this, he gasped fiercely.
"King Jing is so powerful, he single-handedly killed more than half of my people!" Xuanyuan Shu took a deep breath, looked up at the night sky, and said, "The most unfortunate thing is that I was also discovered by him, you can ask for more blessings!" As long as your sister is found, you will not be able to escape the blame. With that, he turned and walked away.
When Gu Xiaoye heard this, he was shocked, he hurriedly took two steps forward, grabbed Xuanyuan Shu's sleeve, looked at him coldly, and asked sharply, "What did you say?" You were discovered by King Jing? Wouldn't you be careful? ”
"Not by him, but by his men!" Xuanyuan Shu pulled back his sleeve and said lightly: "Although Xuanyuan Jingxi knows that you and I did this, he has no evidence!" I am saying this to you, not to ask you to question me, but to be careful and wipe your own ass clean! Be careful if your father finds out in the future, and your position as a son will not be guaranteed! ”
Gu Xiaoye gritted his teeth and said, "If you hadn't been discovered by King Jing's people, tonight's affairs would have been a success!" ”
"Complete?" When Xuanyuan Shu heard this, it was as if he had heard some of the funniest jokes in the world, he glanced at Gu Xiaoye with a sneer, and said, "If I hadn't delayed him, I'm afraid you would have been caught red-handed by him!" In that case, you still have the right thing to do here to listen to me? ”
When Gu Xiaoye heard this, her pupils immediately shrank!
Xuanyuan Shu continued: "Also, when you say consummation, you mean, your little sister's life, you have solved it?" ”
"She fell off the cliff, so high, she must have fallen to her death!" Gu Xiaoye didn't think about it.
"What? Just falling off a cliff? When Xuanyuan Shu heard this, his brows immediately furrowed fiercely: "Tell me, which cliff did you fall off?" ”
Gu Xiaoye saw him like this, his expression immediately became solemn, he frowned and thought for a moment, and replied: "That cliff is located halfway up the southern side of Qingyun Mountain, and it is unfathomable below......
"What unfathomable! There's a river down there! Jade Belt River! Xuanyuan Shu interrupted him violently and said, "Didn't you hear the sound of water flowing when you were up there?" ”
Gu Xiaoye shook his head.
"Idiot! Can you be a little more stupid? Xuanyuan Shu said angrily: "Isn't your sister able to swim in the water?" She fell down a cliff with a river below, and she wouldn't die! You've had a wasted night! ”
"Huh?" When Gu Xiaoye heard this, her eyes widened suddenly, but when she thought about what Xuanyuan Shu said, her face immediately sank, and she couldn't help asking, "Then what should I do now?" ”
"You ask me, I ask who is going?" Xuanyuan Shu said coldly: "You can solve the things you do by yourself!" I've made a fuss and I'm not going to help you anymore! Now, King Jing's personal soldiers are estimated to have surrounded the cliff, and then go into the water to salvage people, it is estimated that tomorrow, your sister will come back unharmed. ”
"Nope! She can't come back! She must die! Gu Xiaoye grabbed Xuanyuan Shu's hand and begged him: "Lord Wang, you can help me!" ”
Xuanyuan Shu shook him off violently, flicked his sleeves, and said coldly: "Aside from King Jing, there is also my father and the emperor, when he heard about this, he will definitely not give up, don't think about harming people anymore, or think about how to deal with the emperor's thunderous anger!" ”
When Gu Xiaoye heard this, he was surprised: "This, how can this matter have anything to do with the emperor?" This, this is a matter of our Hou Mansion! ”
"But you have forgotten, in your family, only Gu Ruoxi, is the child born to my father's sweetheart." Xuanyuan Shu said meaningfully.
When Gu Xiaoye heard this, he immediately staggered back a few steps! 360 Search Wonder--Pavilion:
"Looks like you know what happened back then, huh?" Xuanyuan Shu glanced at him lazily and said, "I guess that King Jing has already found a way to send a letter to my father, and the emperor will be furious when he hears that your little sister is missing and has fallen off the cliff, and then thoroughly investigate the matter......."
The more he spoke, the more ugly Gu Xiaoye's face became.
"Hello do it yourself! That's the price of your quick success! Your sister is just going to Qingyun Nunnery, you ......"
"Tong'er values me as a big brother the most in his heart, if I die, he will never forgive you!" Gu Xiaoye violently interrupted Xuanyuan Shu's words, and said coldly: "We are now grasshoppers on a rope, if you don't help me, I will confess you!" Say you told me to do it all! ”
"Why?" When Xuanyuan Shu heard this, he was not angry at all, as if he had expected Gu Xiaoye to say this, he stood there and said in a cold tone: "Your sister and I have no grievances, and we never meet, why should I do everything possible to design her?"
Isn't that reasonable? ”
Gu Xiaoye was questioned, and he became angry and hateful, but he looked at Xuanyuan Shu, but he couldn't say a word.
Indeed, all this is unreasonable, Xuanyuan Shu has no reason to frame Gu Ruoxi at all, the only explanation is that he just helped him.
"Save it! It's useless for you to bite me. Xuanyuan Shu said lightly: "But I advise you, stop it quickly, and wipe your buttocks clean, if your father or the emperor interrogates you, you will bite you to death It has nothing to do with you, and you may be able to escape the catastrophe." ”
Let's talk about it. He didn't look at Gu Xiaoye anymore, turned around and left in great strides.
In the night, those entourages rushed to the city gate like flowing water, and without even the slightest pause, they all entered the city.
Then, with a loud creak, the gates were firmly closed again.
Gu Xiaoye stood in place in a daze, watching Xuanyuan Shu leave with complicated eyes, this time, he didn't rush up to question.
After a long time, the guard standing beside him couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Shizi, shall we go into the city?" It's almost dawn. ”
"Lit?" Gu Xiaoye muttered a guard's words and glanced up at the sky. Sure enough, some fish belly white has been faintly revealed in the east, and the sky will soon dawn.
"Yes! Shizi. The guard replied.
When Gu Xiaoye heard this, he turned his head and glanced in the direction of the city gate, and said with a wry smile: "Do you think we can go back?" ”
The guard's face was shocked.
However, Gu Xiaoye ignored him and strode towards the direction of the city gate.
……
Under the cliff, the river wind is fierce and the river is turbulent.
Although the moonlight shone down, the surface of the river was pitch black, and nothing could be seen, only the sound of rushing water could be heard from far and near.
When Xuanyuan Jingxi jumped off the cliff with his eyes closed, he just fell into a whirlpool, in order to avoid not being able to find Gu Ruoxi, he allowed the whirlpool to roll himself into the deep bottom of the river, but he did not use any strength.
was able to go into the water to save people in the Huguo Temple, which means that his water nature is no worse than Gu Ruoxi.
The whirlpool swept Xuanyuan Jingxi to the bottom of the river. Then he slowly floated up again, and gradually flowed down.
During this time, he tried very hard to find the water, but the river was cold and muddy, and he could not see anything at all.
Xuanyuan Jingxi's heart couldn't help but gradually despair, could it be that he really couldn't find Xi'er?
No! It's impossible!
He poked his head out of the water, took a few deep breaths, and then a fierce man stabbed downstream, Gu Ruoxi and the others must have been washed downstream, he must find her quickly! Cast the liver to carry.
Xuanyuan Jingxi's underwater kung fu was not covered, but in just a moment, he swam dozens of zhang away.
The river is fast. Not ever
After a while, his figure gradually disappeared on the surface of this section of the river.
When Mo Yun led everyone down from the path pointed out by Jing Ruo to the river, Xuanyuan Jingxi was nowhere to be seen.
"King, was the prince swept away by the river? One of the guards immediately exclaimed loudly.
Mo Yun glared at him fiercely and said, "Are you stupid?" Isn't it stupid? How could our prince be washed away by the water? He must have gone into the water first to save people! ”
"Yes. But there was no movement on the shore......," said the guard, trembling.
Mo Yun glanced at him impatiently, and said, "I must not be able to find anyone, the prince has gone downstream!" As he spoke, he turned around and shouted to the team of guards of about one or two hundred people behind him: "Everyone is divided into three groups, one group goes into the water to find people, and the other two groups look for people on the left and right shores, inch by inch, and you can't let go anywhere!" ”
"Yes! Ink Ginseng General! The crowd answered, and immediately divided into three groups, and were about to act. However, Mo Yun waved his hand to stop everyone: "There are very few chances that people can be found on both sides of the strait, just send ten people to find them, and the rest of the people will go into the water with me to find people!" ”
"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison this time, and soon most of them were concentrated behind Mo Yun, and only twenty people were left in two columns.
"Good! Let's go! Mo Yun answered, and took the lead and plunged into the river.
Soon, all the guards jumped into the water one by one, and searched in the river, and there was a sound of diving everywhere on both sides of the river, like dumplings, and the people on both sides, all holding torches in their hands, gradually went down, illuminating the lights on both sides of the river.
In this case, it is really much more convenient to find someone, and it also improves a lot of efficiency.
An hour later, everyone met Xuanyuan Jingxi two miles downstream of the cliff.
He stood on the bank of the river in a daze, his body standing tall and elegant, his body shrouded in night, and the moonlight gilded him with a layer of silver, but it could not dispel the deep worry in his eye sockets.
"Lord Wang!" Mo Yun and the others rushed over to this side in surprise, jumped up from the water one by one, and ran in front of Xuanyuan Jingxi in a wet manner, at this time, everyone found that there was a corpse lying on the ground in front of Xuanyuan Jingxi.
It's a female corpse.
"Miss Gu Er has found it?" Mo Yun first shouted in surprise, but the moment he looked down, he saw that the woman was dressed in the service of a maid.
"A maid?" Mo Yun muttered.
Yun Duo pushed away the crowd, stepped forward, glanced at the female corpse, and immediately screamed, "Mingxiang! It's Mingxiang! She ran over, crouched down, first probed under Mingxiang's son, and then retracted her hand like an electric shock.
She was no longer breathing.
Xuanyuan Jingxi lowered his head and glanced at it when he heard this, his face was very complicated: "She fell head-on, and when she fell into the water, her head touched."
A sharp rock exposed in the lake, died on the spot. ”
When everyone saw this scene, they were greatly surprised. There was a bad premonition in my heart, this girl fell down head-to-head, what about Miss Gu Er and the others? Presumably it's not much better, right?
Yun Duo said in a deep voice: "We found Jinse's body in the woods, and now, we have also found Mingxiang here, and there is only Liuli left beside Miss!" As she spoke, she burst into tears.
Everyone lowered their heads, and a trace of bad premonition inexplicably welled up in their hearts.
"They'll be fine!" At this moment, Xuanyuan Jingxi suddenly shouted loudly.
Yun Duo nodded and said, "That's right! The second lady is blessed with a great life, she will definitely be fine! The soldiers behind him also echoed one after another. The wind was cold, but the call of the crowd was piercing the night wind and drifting far away.
Faintly, with a sense of sadness.
Xuanyuan Jingxi said loudly: "Okay! In that case, then all of you will go into the water with me! If you can't find anyone tonight, you won't look back! ”
"Yes! Rajah! The people's answers shook the earth.
……
Gu Ruoxi felt that she had a very beautiful dream, in the dream, she returned to her modern home, and finally there was no need to intrigue anymore, guard against this and that, because they were her closest and dearest family, including the mother who loved her the most, the father who loved her the most, and the younger brother who was the most naughty but listened to her.
It's been a long time, but everyone is very nice to her......
She is still the bachelor woman in her twenties, her surname is Gu, not Gu, she lives a life of five or nine nights every day, busy at work, idle after work, nothing to do online shopping, watch Korean dramas, play games, and the days are monotonous and boring, but she is willing to eat it, and sleeping under the bed in winter has become her greatest enjoyment.
However, troubles also followed, she is already a woman who will run for three in a few years, and her parents are already working hard for her life's events, and the most common means is to force her to go on a blind date.
However, she was not interested in every boy she met.
The blind date failed again and again, and finally annoyed her mother, and she solemnly gave an ultimatum to Gu Ruoxi: "This time the neighbor's friend of your seventh aunt's neighbor introduced you to a boy, the conditions are very good in all aspects, the young man is handsome, and the work is good, this time, you have to agree no matter what!" ”
"Mom! Can you please stop pushing me? Gu Ruoxi said helplessly: "The major event of my life is my own freedom, I have the right to decide whether I want to get married or not, please let me make my own decision, okay?" ”
"You make a decision!" Gu's mother scolded angrily: "If it is because of your temperament, I don't think you will be able to marry at the age of thirty!" You're not ugly, you've inherited all my advantages, and the girls in our community are the most beautiful of you, but you have a brain
It's with your dad! It's all paste! ”
Gu Ruoxi was speechless, did she say that about her daughter?
"That's it! Today's blind date, you have to go if you don't go! Gu's mother babbled a lot, and finally concluded: "Only I, a mother, don't want to watch you run away on the road to singleness, you have to listen to me!" ”
"Mom, don't you force me to do it?" Gu Ruoxi was very helpless: "The blind date is too boring, it's better to sleep at home......"
What answered her was a cold eye from Gu's mother.
Gu Ruoxi immediately closed her mouth wisely and obediently. At this time, a sentence came to her mind in a daze; It's still good to be ancient! At least when she gets there, she's a little Lori, and no one will force her to go on a blind date......
At noon, she was dragged to a Chinese restaurant by Gu's mother, Gu's mother was afraid that she would be shy, and specially ordered a box, not long after they arrived, the door of the box was knocked on, Gu's mother immediately stood up and said in surprise: "It must be Xiaopeng who is here!" With that, she stood up excitedly and pulled open the door of the box.
Outside the door stood a young man in a suit and leather shoes, with a gentle face, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
When Gu Ruoxi saw it, he immediately stood up from his chair in shock: "Xu Xian, how could it be you?" ”
It turned out that the man in front of him turned out to be Xu Xian, the son of Xu Shilang's family in the Great Yuan Dynasty. That is, Xu Xian, who had a marriage contract with Gu Ruoxi, but never achieved a positive result.
"Ruoxi, what nonsense are you talking about?" Gu's mother immediately turned around and glared at her fiercely when she heard her daughter's shout, and said, "This is your Uncle Xu's son, Xu Jinpeng, come and get to know him!" ”
"Xu, Xu Jinpeng?" Gu Ruoxi was taken aback when she heard this, but no matter how she looked at it, this Xu Jinpeng was exactly the same as Xu Xianchang, it was simply carved out of a mold.
