Chapter 374: Where Is She?
"Hmm." Murong Xi changed his usual hippie smile and responded softly in a serious manner.
"Hiss" Du Mei turned around to leave, but couldn't help but snort, she stood for too long, her legs couldn't bend for a while, so she had to bend her body slowly and rub her knees.
Murong Xi wanted to reach out to support her, but he was afraid that she would not be able to avoid it and fall again, so in the end, he had to clench his fingers into fists and hang down at his side, with an angry aura that could not be swallowed.
Du Mei moved her numb leg and staggered down the steps, Murong Xi followed behind her to protect him, he raised his hand silently, and Yan Mo, who was hidden in the shadows, walked over with two horses.
Murong Xi whispered something, Yan Mo glanced at Du Mei, didn't say a word, turned over and left.
Seeing that Du Mei had gone straight past her, Rouge Mahuahua couldn't help but scream anxiously and kept digging her hooves back.
"Your horse." Murong Xi saw that Du Mei had been leaving, as if he hadn't seen it, so he had to remind him.
"It's not mine after all, and now, it's time for it to be returned to its rightful owner." Du Mei stood still and smiled bitterly, the tears on her face were dry, she liked this peach blossom horse, more because it was given by Chu Lin, now that things are wrong, why keep it sad?
Du Mei turned around and looked up, the Yan Wangfu was tall and majestic, but it was also cold and desperate, the tassels under the red lantern were fluttering in the wind, and the shadow was reflected on the Zhu Gate, swaying and swaying, with nothing to rely on.
"Take my horse and go, and I'll lead you." Murong Xi looked back with her, turned his eyes and said.
Du Mei sat on the horse, Murong Xi held the bridle, and the two walked silently in the gradually cold street market for a long time, Du Mei was condescending, only seeing the green jade crown on Murong Xi's hair, she couldn't help it after all, and said quietly: "Why don't you ask me, what happened?" ”
"What can you do, it's just for the sake of others." Murong Xi didn't raise his head, just walked slowly and sighed slightly. There were few pedestrians in the market, and it became more and more empty, and the two of them walked slowly, Murong Xi was silent under his feet, only hearing the horses' hooves stepping on the bluestone slabs along the way, and the moonlight stretched their shadows thin and long.
"You got it?" Du Mei had already seen Murong Xi's ubiquitous intelligence network, and she was not surprised at all to hear him say this.
"Amei, the world is so big, how many people with grievances can you save on your own? Why should you suffer such humiliation in vain? Is it worth it? Murong Xi stood up and raised his head, twisted his eyebrows and asked.
"Although Lin Dai is the son of a long-term worker, I have always treated them as relatives, as for Shen County's order, aside from the fact that he saved my mother, just because he is a good official, he has suffered injustice in vain, so that he is imprisoned, isn't such a person worth helping?" Du Mei didn't look at Murong Xi, his eyes were far away, as clear as a clear spring in the mountains.
"I've always been defeated by you, otherwise, how would I have come to you in a hurry." Murong Xi lowered his eyes, this kind of Du Mei is the most worthy of his appreciation and affection, "If you really want to save people, there is not only one way to go in Yanwangfu." ”
"Do you have a way? Recognize people? Du Mei leaned over and asked eagerly.
"What are you anxious about! Don't look at what time it is, aren't you hungry? Seeing her like this, Murong Xi couldn't help but be a little angry.
"Now that 100,000 people are in a hurry, they will suffer in prison for one more hour, and I will feel a little uncomfortable, where can I remember to eat!" Du Mei's face was gloomy, but her stomach screamed very uncontrollably.
"I'll take you to meet someone tomorrow, it's too late to bother, besides, you should also eat and rest, the long journey is the most tiring." Murong Xi said softly, he wanted to shake it
Under Du Mei's hand, she dodged it.
Du Mei looked up at the night sky, and before he knew it, it was already the middle of the moon, and most of the shops on the street were closed.
"I don't want to fall back to Mei Xuan." Du Mei said suddenly.
It's not early at this time, Ye Dan and they must have fallen asleep, she rushed forward, it will definitely alarm everyone, if they see such a lost and embarrassed self, the tenth ** will get to the bottom of it, Ye Dan may have to secretly go out to help her find King Yan, but since she decided not to ask him anymore, then she still don't see each other again.
"In this case, I have my own place to live for you, although my Murong family does not dare to say that it is rich and rivals the country, there are still a few properties in Jiangling City." Murong Xi smiled like an arrogant fox.
"I don't want to go to the Humble Garden." Du Mei was not amused by him, but said with a gloomy face.
"This ......" Murong Xi was originally a seven-trick exquisite heart, and he understood it as soon as he thought about it, "What's so difficult about this, there is a house of mine near here, but it's a little smaller, but it's quiet, you will like it." ”
Murong Xi turned his horse's head and turned into a deep alley, and after walking a short distance, he stopped in front of a small courtyard.
The door of the small courtyard was low, there was a dim lamp hanging on the corridor, and the old copper ring on the door was glowing with warm light, and Murong Xi stepped forward and knocked on the door knocker.
"Who's coming?" An extremely old voice approached with the sound of kicking footsteps.
With a "Ahhhh
"Uncle Wu." Murong Xi called in a low voice.
"Young master! Please forgive the old slave for being dizzy! When the old man heard this, he bent his knees and knelt down.
"Your legs and feet are not good, don't bow much." Murong Xi stretched out his hand to support the old man, "It's not too early, I still have friends, let us go in first." ”
"Yes, yes, yes." The old man limped and opened the courtyard door.
Du Mei dismounted on the dismount stone in front of the door, dismounted by herself, and led the horse into the courtyard with Murong Xi, and the old man reflexively closed the door. As far as the eye can see, this yard is not big, and there are not high flowers and trees planted on the side of the courtyard wall, which hides a three-entry house in the meantime.
"Uncle Wu, don't hesitate to anything, make us something to eat, the sooner the better." Murong Xi handed the reins to the old man, explained, and took Du Mei to the big house.
The room was very spacious, and the layout was simple and comfortable, Murong Xi seemed to be familiar with this place, so it was natural to make Du Mei a cup of jasmine tea.
"This place is different from the Bamboo Garden, how many houses do you have?" Du Mei sat in his old chair and looked around.
"Cunning rabbit three holes, I'm in business news, how can people block the back road?" Murong Xi's peach blossom eyes were raised, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he said those dangers as usual.
After a while, a refreshing and clean old woman came with two bowls of hot noodles and a few side dishes.
"Aunt Wu, I've been thinking about this for a long time." Murong Xi picked up the noodles, blew them, and said salivatingly.
"The young master only eats, and the old woman will only do this." The old woman smiled and leaned back.
Du Mei looked at the big bowl in front of him, the slender yellowish noodles were soaked in the soup with minced green onions and coriander, and there was a circle of thinly cut braised beef on the side of the bowl.
White bean sprouts are faintly visible.
"Eat quickly, I know you are making food, but Aunt Wu's bowl of chowder noodles has been made for 30 years, and all the braised meat and braised eggs are boiled in old braised meat, and the taste is fragrant." Murong Xi ate as he spoke, gobbling it up.
Du Mei tossed the noodles, picked a chopstick noodle, and brought it to his mouth, which was really fragrant. The noodles are alkaline noodles, strong and bitten, mixed with thin beef that melts in the mouth, sandwiched with minced green onions and coriander, and you can eat it in one bite, leaving a fragrant taste on your lips and teeth!
The two of them ate hot noodles, and the cold that had been walking all the way was driven away.
"It's dry, watch out for the candles." Outside the hospital, the husband struck the gong all the way.
"It's time for the child, you wash up and rest, if you have something to do with Aunt Wu, there are only two of them in this courtyard." Murong Xi stood up, seeing that Du Mei seemed embarrassed, and continued, "I'll go back, and I'll come back tomorrow morning to pick you up and see someone." ”
"Oh...... Good. Du Mei hung his head in response.
Aunt Wu came in after a while, and took care of Du Mei very diligently and thoughtfully, Du Mei was embarrassed, she only needed some hot water, and refused to let her serve.
Du Mei comfortably washed away the dust and fatigue along the way, thinking that she would be able to find someone willing to help tomorrow, so she was at ease, lay on the soft bed, and soon fell asleep.
This night is so long that some people are destined to have no sleep, and some people even go crazy!
More than three hours ago, Shi hurriedly left King Yan's Mansion and went to the Beijing Patrol Camp to find Chu Lin, but was told by the soldiers guarding the door that King Yan had just been summoned into the palace.
The stone didn't dare to delay, and drove the horse to look for it, and he saw Zhao Ji'an waiting outside the palace gate, so he told him all the reasons beforehand. The two of them were looking forward to it outside the palace gate, and when the moon was on the treetops, they saw a group of small attendants in the palace holding the lamp and sending Chu Lin out.
"Mei'er, why are you here!" When Chu Lin saw the stone, his face immediately changed.
"The widow is waiting in the Yanwang Mansion, and she has something to ask to see." The stone came up and saluted.
"Drive!" Chu Lin turned over and got on the horse, he didn't even have time to ask about the matter, he had already shook the reins and let the horse run wildly.
Mo Yun is a good horse for a thousand miles, running with all his might, not to mention the horse with poor stone explosiveness, even Zhao Ji'an's red-maned horse can't catch up.
The market was empty at night, and the galloping horses' hooves were like Chu Lin's heartbeat, he was a little ecstatic that Du Mei could come to him, but he was afraid that Du Mei would see Su Muyun and go away in anger, he had to hurry up and hurry up!
When he returned to Yanwang's Mansion at a gallop, he saw the rouge horse in the dark night tethered in front of Yanwang's Mansion, and his heart suddenly relaxed, fortunately, Mei'er was still there!
"Mei'er......" Chu Lin pushed open his study, which was empty, and it was still the same as when he left in the morning. He did not give up and pushed open the bedroom again, and it was empty, only the amorous wind kept rolling the curtains, raising and falling.
"Ruyi!" Chu Lin roared angrily.
Mei'er, who he was thinking about, did not wait in the house, but left the rouge horse, the last thing related to him, and left resolutely!
"Master!" Ruyi came in with a bowl of ginseng tea.
"Du Mei, where is she?!" Chu Lin waved the teacup to the ground with one palm, and the fine bone china was shattered into large and small pieces, scattered everywhere, and the soup was drenched with Ruyi.
"Isn't she waiting outside?" Ruyi rarely saw Chu Lin so angry, she didn't bother to wipe the stains on her body, hurriedly knelt down, and said with a shrunken gaze.
"Say it again, where is she?!" Chu Lin approached step by step, with a monstrous anger in his eyes.
