Chapter 177: Night Walk (7)
His son Ximo has been in Yanshan. The king of Naning Bei must also be in Yanshan. No doubt. He is the mastermind, Ximo is the assistant, how can he not be there?
It seems that this is a long-term career for King Ningbei.
It's both long-lasting and dangerous.
Madame Jade was full of worry. Once the army is defeated, there is a danger of being killed.
However, Mrs. Yu hoped that Wang Yunzhan of Ningbei would raise troops. Everyone knows that the faint king is acting absurdly. Everyone was looking forward to the fall of the faint king. Mrs. Yu, like all mothers in the world, doesn't want anything to happen to her son.
She's conflicted.
She also wants to know the truth about the death of the first emperor.
She wanted to tell her son that his true identity was......
No, can't say, not at all.
She didn't want her son to be shackled unnecessarily.
I advise him to be careful.
This is a mother's wish.
"Autumn Pattern is a good boy." Madam Jade said again.
"The boy is good, clever, steady and smart. She can be a girl and can cook. The old lady also said.
"Wouldn't that be fine?" Miao Yuan said with a smile.
The old lady still sighed lightly: "It's just that the family background is poor." ”
"The emperor still has straw sandals. What is a family background? ”
The old lady looked at Ximo and looked up and down again: "Let me ask you, what are you doing outside these days?" ”
The old lady found that her grandson had changed, not only in terms of mental temperament, but also in appearance. His body was already lofty, and standing in the room, he looked even more majestic, really like a general commanding thousands of troops.
The old lady wanted to know, what does her grandson do when she is away?
"Nature is about doing the right thing."
Ximo said very vaguely.
"Proper? What does this mean? ”
"That's it...... I didn't do anything bad. ”
Ximo didn't want to explain clearly. These things, the old grandmother still doesn't need to know.
"I know you're a good boy, but you don't want me to know, what do you live on?" Old Madam Shi was angry.
Ximo said that he would do some business.
"Will you do business? How did I not know this? ”
"A little bit of business."
The old lady sighed: "You are trying to hide it from me." Well, you don't want to say, why should I keep chasing after it? Although you have gone out, there is no shortage of silver in your hands, and if nothing else, even the silver ticket of the grange left to you by your mother is enough for you for several lifetimes. ”
That's right, Ximo is not short of money.
But all this money was converted by him and sent to the Yanshan military camp.
"That's what Grandmother said."
For a while, several people sat down to eat. Miaoyuan heard that the autumn pattern was fine, and he was relieved. And the pure heart came and ate, for all he ate was fast. Ximo's three younger sisters surrounded their brother and asked long and short questions.
The atmosphere was very congenial.
This made Ximo feel as if he was back at home again.
After not eating fasting for a long time, Ximo drank a few mouthfuls of soup and felt fragrant. There is autumn pattern craftsmanship in this meal, and he can taste it. Jingxin sent radish and taro pumpkin rice again, and Ximo ate three bowls in a row.
Tongyun laughed as he waited.
Then Ziyun said, "What did the eldest brother do when he went out?" The amount of food is so good! ”
Ximo laughed and gulped down the soup.
This action was chic and rough, which caused the three girls to cover their mouths and laugh.
The pure heart brought the conversation back to the city. On a thief who haunts him. It's just a hidden danger, and the hidden danger is just around the corner. Jingxin prayed that Liu Jianran could help before, and now he focused on the eldest prince of Shifu.
When Shi Ximo returned, he had already noticed something strange in the city.
It's just that he didn't ask too much, and saw that his grandmother's family lived in the monastery, and he had already guessed nine times out of ten. The wealth of Jiangcheng is envied by people and worried by thieves.
"Do you know where the thieves are stationed?"
"What? You're going to search? Mrs. Yu was worried about her son, and frowned and admonished, "You are too dangerous to do it alone." ”
"Yes."
Ximo pretended to agree, but in fact it was just to comfort his mother.
Once he left the monastery, he sneaked into the city and searched for it.
The pure heart didn't know it, and when he saw the eldest son of the Shi family, he retreated from the battle, and he was not as good as the sassy and witty Liu Jianran, and he was disappointed for a while.
"Then you'll stay here tonight."
Mrs. Jade had something she wanted to say to her son alone.
"Tomorrow."
"Why does it have to be tomorrow?" Lady Jade didn't understand again.
"Tonight, I'm going back to the house to get some things."
This is true, but Ximo is true. He hid something in a private place in the grass house. These things are meant to be given to Akimo.
After all, the hairpins bought at the bazaar were too shabby.
The shabby and shabby ones are not tight, and the courtesy is light and affectionate. But since there are ready-made ones, why not give the good ones to the autumn patterns? Men in this world, as long as they like a woman, are unwilling to give her what they have.
"What the hell are you going to take?" Mrs. Yu was worried about her son's safety and did not advocate him to go back.
"This river city is also treacherous. Yes, you say there are thieves, and I am aware of them. But at night, the streets are quiet, but there is no other disturbance. If I have a chance, I would have liked to be a thief. ”
Ximo was a little curious.
"In short, you should not be underestimated. In case ......"
"Mother, don't be afraid, children have their own measure." Ximo still insisted on leaving.
Mrs. Jade couldn't persuade her, and she sighed helplessly in her heart. The son's temperament is exactly the same as that of the first emperor, similar in appearance, similar in temperament, and very similar in voice. Her heart was even more sad.
Before Ximo left, he promised his mother that he would come to the temple for breakfast tomorrow morning.
In the middle of the night, Ximo walked alone on the empty street, and his heart swelled with strange comfort. I turned back to the house first, and before I reached the door, I saw a person sneakily carrying a bag out.
Ximo hid under a tree, and by the bright moonlight, he fixed his eyes and saw that this person was Aunt Sun.
Yes, all the members of the family, except those who are there, take refuge in the monastery. Only Aunt Sun was left to live at home with the rest of the family. In the middle of the night, why didn't she go back to her room to sleep, so she came out alone?
Ladies and gentlemen, why are you?
In this daytime, Aunt Sun became suspicious when she heard that the old lady was going to ask her to get the deed. Now that the city is unstable, the title deeds of all the real estate in the family are naturally kept by themselves, but the old lady does not trust her, but at this moment, she has to send it to the temple. Once you don't have this title deed, you can't transfer your property and steal it for yourself. I'm afraid that in the future, the old lady will have to ask her to send other valuable things.
The old lady hurried out that day, and there were really many valuable things in her house that she had not had time to take away. If nothing else, let's just say that the glass lamp on the table and the golden mirror hanging are all top things. There was also a small box next to the old lady's pillow, which was full of hairpins and rings she used to wear.
Aunt Sun wanted to move them out one by one, and sent them to Kidney Beans to hide them first.
It's just that her fate was not good, and she happened to be bumped into by Ximo who had just come back. She is in the light, and the ink is in the dark. Aunt Sun knows everything Ximo does.
In such a night, Aunt Sun walked ahead, and Ximo followed quietly.
This walk, I walked to the front of the Wang family's compound.
Ximo felt strange that the Wang family had nothing to do with the Shi family. Seeing that Aunt Sun was familiar with the road, and there were two guards standing by the door, Aunt Sun only made a gesture with them, and the two guards let her in.
This is even more wrong.
Ximo looked at the two janitors. This is not like the royal family's family.
Although he and the Wang family are not familiar with each other, they are both in Jiangcheng, and they can still be identified by who is guarding the gate of the house. Looking at their sword-wielding posture, they don't look like ordinary subordinates guarding the house, but like thieves who rob houses and houses, could it be......
Ximo kept an eye on it, and could not enter through the door, so he jumped lightly, jumped over a tree in front of the king's house, climbed over the treetops, and climbed to the top of a house against the courtyard wall, and so on and so on.
Ximo found that after Aunt Sun entered the mansion, she went straight to a two-story building in the east. There was a light in the small building, and through the half-open window, Ximo noticed that there were two people in the building, a man and a woman. The man is short and stocky, with a full beard. The woman was younger, sitting at the dresser with her back to the man, talking something.
Of course, Ximo didn't know who this man was? Because the woman was on her back, he could not see who it was. At this moment, a woman dressed in red went upstairs. The woman was holding a cup of tea in her hand, and as soon as she looked up, Ximo happened to look at each other.
Ying'er?
