Chapter 158: Buyer's Intentions
The reason why Tantra has been able to remain mysterious for hundreds of years is related to the fact that they rarely come into direct contact with people. Before Murong Xi went out to travel, his father mentioned three things, the first of which was not to reveal his identity too much.
"Amei, your cousin's hand bones are broken, she won't get better in three or two months, Jinxiufang can stop for a few days, but you still have something to save people at the moment." Murong Xi attached himself to Du Mei's ear and whispered in his heart.
"How do you know?" Du Mei was not surprised to see him say that Du Xing was her cousin, but at the mention of Niu Er and Black Jiaolong, she couldn't help but chuckle in her heart.
"How do I know it's not important, if you want to save them, wait for me to pick you up for dinner tomorrow!" The tassel on Murong Xi's waist was stirred up by the breaking wind. The sound of running footsteps had come from the dark alley, and it was in unison.
"Who the hell are you?" Du Meihu looked at him suspiciously, this person is too beautiful to speak, and his kung fu is too good, if it is a friend, if it is an enemy, it must be a mortal enemy.
"If you want to know the answer, remember to wait for me at Luomei Xuan at five o'clock tomorrow!" Murong Xi didn't wait for someone to appear, his body spun, jumped straight onto the opposite roof, and quickly melted into the long night.
"Whoa......," Du Mei raised his voice, and before he could ask, his figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, as suddenly as when he came.
"Miss Du, are you okay?" When Du Mei was stunned, five men in black appeared in front of her and saluted with fists together.
"I'm fine, are you?" Du Mei felt their fierce aura and subconsciously took a step back.
"Miss Du, I'm Shishi, they are Luo Meixuan's guards, Shopkeeper Ye asked us to take you back." It was the sturdy young man who drove the carriage yesterday who spoke.
"Oh." Du Mei finally saw an acquaintance, and his heart settled down.
"Girl, please." An older man said in a deep voice. It seems that he is the leader, and the person who spoke to Murong Xi just now is probably this person.
"Only here......" Du Mei pointed to the ground. The ground was a mess, and the footprints were chaotic. The man with his throat was lying on his back, and the blood seeping to the ground began to dry up, causing flies to buzz in.
"Girl, just go back with confidence, we will take care of the aftermath." The older man bowed.
"That's good." In this case, Du Mei did not procrastinate, and walked with his feet raised.
The older man left two people to carefully erase the traces of the scene, and the other three formed a guard and accompanied Du Mei back to Luomei Xuan.
The lights in the lobby of Luomei Xuan have been extinguished, leaving only the night pearl to emit endless light. The elder had just knocked three times when the door slammed open from the inside.
"Du Mei, where have you been?!" Seeing Du Mei at a glance, Ye Dan was busy calling by name and surname, and his tone was full of worry and anxiety.
"I'm sorry, I was reckless." Dumay curtsied.
"You know! It's okay now, come in. Seeing that she was unharmed, Ye Dan couldn't help but feel the anger in his heart, and turned sideways to let them in.
Just at the scene of the record sale, Ye Dan was surrounded by the crowd and went out with Du Mei chasing Du Xing out, but he couldn't get out, and he couldn't shout loudly, so he had to watch her disappear outside the gate.
He thought that the stone would follow him in the dark, but he didn't expect that after a short while, the stone went to the thatched house, and he thought that Du Mei would not come out if he left Du Mei in the lobby
What's up. When he came back and saw Du Mei gone, he looked up and saw Ye Dan's desperate eyes looking at him on the high platform, and he was shocked, he expected that something big had happened!
Luo Meixuan's guards were all dispatched by the guards of the Yan Palace, and in order to hide their identities, they rarely appeared in front of the guests. Shi was naturally familiar with them, and he didn't wait for Ye Qing's orders, and directly found Zhao Di, the head of the guard.
Zhao Di left three people to guard Luo Meixuan, he took the other three people and the stone out together, and just saw a person poking his brain in front of the door, and they immediately caught him. After a punch and kick, this person couldn't bear the beating, so he had to admit that he was Du Xing's coachman, and told him the address where Du Xing wanted to harm people.
Because they were in the capital, the five did not dare to perform light feats arbitrarily, for fear of alarming the soldiers patrolling the Beijing camp. had to speed up and rush under his feet, and just happened to meet Murong Xi who wanted to take Du Mei away. If it's a little bit late, then it's really heaven and earth with nowhere to find.
In the dark night, Du Mei returned to Luomei Xuan, only to find that the soles of his shoes and skirts were stained with blood, and there was a chill on his body. The situation was critical just now, Du Mei didn't notice it at all, the clothes on his body were all sweaty due to nervousness, and he walked all the way back at this time, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to his body wet ~ greasy.
Ye Dan saw that although she came back safely, she was embarrassed, afraid that she would be frightened, so she hurriedly stole red willow green and made hot water for her to bathe and change her clothes, and lit a soothing incense.
In this gap, Ye Dan listened to Zhao Di and Shi talk about the situation at that time, his brows were deeply locked, Jinxiufang was so blatant, it was really hateful, but who was this Murong Gongzi, and what did he save Du Mei for?
Du Mei took a bath and came out to see Ye Dan refreshed, if she couldn't tell him about today's events, she was afraid that he would not be able to sleep all night.
"That's the case...... Du Mei tossed until now, and he was already hungry. She picked up a piece of jujube cake, drank tea, and said while eating.
"You promised him that Ming'er would eat?" Ye Dan only felt that her heart was stuffy, and this girl was bold.
"He finally saved me, and he may have a way to save Brother Niu and Brother Hei." Du Mei's newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, how did she know Ye Dan's worries.
"You are not allowed to go! Ming'er, the owner of the gardenia flower stick is going to talk about embroidery. Ye Dan finally came up with a high-sounding reason.
Today's matter, the master doesn't know how to punish him, if something happens tomorrow, the head on his neck is afraid that he will have to change places.
"I'll go when it's time." Du Mei whispered that she knew that Ye Dan was for her good, but she still wanted to fight for her friend again.
"I'll talk about this tomorrow, you go and rest first." Ye Dan saw Zhao Di flashing in front of the door, and he didn't discuss it with Du Mei, and ordered directly.
"Oh." Du Mei was full, and sleepiness welled up. She knew that it would be useless to say anything at this time, so she decided to sleep first, and when he was out of breath, she would talk about it tomorrow.
Ye Dan watched Du Mei go up to the third floor, turned his head, and saw Zhao Di and said, "There is news from the house, telling you to hurry up." ”
"Okay." Ye Dan saw Zhao Di's face with an expression of asking for more blessings.
Du Mei entered her house and heard the sound of horses snorting outside, she curiously lifted the curtain to look out, but saw Ye Dan dwarf in the carriage.
"Where is he going now?" Du Mei had woken up early this morning, and had just survived the catastrophe, and she was lying in bed, her mind sleepy, and she fell into a deep sleep before she could come up with a reason.
Early the next morning, Du Mei was woken up by the sound of wontons being sold outside, and she hurriedly
Get up. The kitchen didn't know what to do today, and she went to help.
"You girl, do you really think you're beaten with iron, why don't you take a good rest?" Xia Pozi said pityingly.
"We are used to getting up early in the countryside, so it's okay." Du Mei smiled and rolled up his sleeves to help.
"Porridge today, steamed steamed buns, it's very hot in the kitchen, you go out and wait." Peach Blossom also persuaded.
"Shopkeeper Ye doesn't know if he is up?" Du Mei was still thinking about how to convince Ye Dan.
"The shopkeeper went out yesterday and hasn't come back until now." Yesterday was supposed to be a vigil in Willow Green, and she didn't wait for him to come back.
"Ah, nothing will happen." When Du Mei heard this, he said in surprise.
"It's okay, it's okay. He just went to the master's house, and it was late at night, so he probably stayed there to rest, and he was afraid that there would be something to do this morning, so he would have to delay for a long time. Aunt Shi also came to the kitchen and waved her hand. Ye Dan deliberately explained these words to her before going out, but she was afraid that she would not be able to come back for a while.
"Oh." Du Mei nodded knowingly.
After the hour, a gorgeous carriage stopped in front of Luomei Xuan. A young and beautiful lady was carefully supported down by the little maid.
"Mrs. Su, you're here, Miss Du is waiting for you." Peach stepped forward with a smile on her face and saluted.
"That's very good." The woman, known as Mrs. Sue, nodded in satisfaction.
Pink led the way and led up to the elegant room on the second floor. The room was lit with a calming agarwood, and the ice water fell into the water tray with a clatter, and Du Mei was already waiting here.
"Hello ma'am." Du Mei saw that Peach Rouge brought in a beautiful woman in gorgeous clothes. Curtsy.
"Excuse me, where am I a lady, but I am just an aunt and a slave of Sufu." The woman teased herself.
"What's your last name?" My name is Du Mei, everyone calls me Meizi, if you don't dislike it, I'll call you sister. Du Mei handed her the freshly brewed Ming Qian Biluo Spring Tea.
"Don't have your surname Hua, Meizi can call me Sister Hua, you are a straightforward person, I like it." Hua Yan said with a smile.
"Sister Hua, let's talk about dolls, what do you want?" Du Mei still thought about meeting Murong Xi for a while, so she said straight to the point.
"Okay." Huan Yan waved his hand, and the maid took the wooden box knowingly.
"These six little ones are all happy and auspicious, and I want to cry again." Hua Yan said seriously.
"Why?" Du Mei was surprised, when Ye Qing said something similar, Du Mei replied that the reason for him was that no one likes to be sad. And the beautiful woman in front of her, who was wearing silk and satin, was frowning.
"There are all kinds of things in life, where there are only good times. Isn't it a matter of a moment for happiness and misfortune to depend on each other, and happiness and sorrow? Hua Yan said lightly, as if she had seen through the world.
"If Sister Hua thinks about it, I'll draw a picture today and show it to you." The uniqueness of Luomei Xuan's sale is the buyer's idea, since Hua Yan insisted, Du Mei didn't say anything.
"Well, I see you're pretty quick." Hua Yan said approvingly.
The charcoal and paper had already been prepared, and Du Mei calmly painted on the spot, about the time of a cup of tea, and with a few pens, a beaver jumped onto the paper.
I saw it drooping its eyebrows, its big round eyes were full of tears, and it seemed that it was about to roll down in the next second, pouting, holding a handkerchief in both hands, very aggrieved. 2k reading web
