Chapter Seventy-Six: The White Lady
"My father is no more, only my mother. You don't have to be afraid, my mother is easy to get along with. ”
"Even if you marry a dusty woman, she doesn't care?"
Bai Xiuzi lowered his head and thought about it: "That's okay, as long as I'm willing to convince her well, there's no problem." ”
Wanxiang lowered her head and smiled, this general has a strategy, but he doesn't seem to know anything about men and women. In his eyes, those backyard matters can be solved in the same way that the enemy is solved on the battlefield.
Wanxiang lowered her head and smiled, and he asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"I laugh at the general for his true temperament."
"No, no, no, you're the real character."
"The true temperament of what Wanxiang said is derogatory."
"Huh?" The two looked at each other for a while, and finally Bai Xiuzi couldn't help but smile: "Don't call me a general, you call me by my name." ”
"White ...... Shuko? ”
Bai Xiuzi put his hands back: "Ah, I think this name is much better when you call it." ”
"But why do I think it's weird?"
"It's okay, it's okay, when you get married, you won't feel strange if you call Xianggong."
“……”
What he said always made Wanxiang feel caught off guard and unable to deal with it.
"I've got some medicine for you, I'll get it to you later."
"No need, I still have the medicine."
"That's yours, I'm not giving it the same."
"What's the difference?"
"What I give is affection."
“…… Generals don't go to that kind of place less. ”
"What's so bad? In front of the Tibetan incense pavilion is the Xun River, the other side of the Xun River is the Tribute Courtyard, the Tribute Courtyard is full of talents, and there are beautiful women hidden in the Tibetan Incense Pavilion. The Gongyuan and the Tibetan Incense Pavilion face each other across the water, and it is a talented man with a beautiful woman. ”
This person can say, and Wanxiang glanced at him: "The general is a hero." ”
"General Ben is also a genius."
"......" In the end, Wanxiang was so amused by him that she couldn't speak, so she had to laugh helplessly.
Even though she was smiling, she still couldn't be happy in her heart, as gloomy as the weather, and as lifeless as the trees.
That night, the Tibetan incense loft was very lively, full of guests. After going back, Wanxiang hid in the room to hide quietly, while looking at the fireworks outside the window: "Honggu, what day is it today?" ”
"August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival."
"No wonder."
Mid-Autumn Festival, Bai Xiuzi didn't spend the holiday at home with his mother, and ran to Beixun? If the old lady of the General's Mansion knew about this, wouldn't she scold herself for being a disaster?
"Do you want to go downstairs and be lively?"
"No, just let the little girls be lively, and whoever wants to go under the Yuehua tree to pray for the river lantern will be called."
"Huh."
Wanxiang lowered her head and copied the contents of the book word by word with the tip of a thin pen, writing that a cool air penetrated her nose and couldn't stop coughing twice.
Aunt Hong handed over a cup of hot tea: "Girl, don't write, the candle flame is dim and hurts your eyes." ”
"Idle is idle."
As soon as he held the cup in the palm of his hand, he heard someone outside the gauze tent shouting: "Girl, there is a vegetarian." ”
Wanxiang thought about it carefully, and felt in her heart that it might be Bai Xiuzi, didn't he say that he would come over later?
"Please come in."
Hearing the door creak and being pushed open, the outside of the gauze tent was bright and the inside of the tent was dark, and Wanxiang vaguely saw that the wooden plate surface sank a lot, leaned forward to see whether it was a gold ingot or a silver ingot, and looked at the figure not like Bai Xiuzi.
Then Wanxiang leaned on the soft pillow: "Does this master want to buy the murderer or ask?" ”
"Question."
"Ask what?"
"Who killed Yuanhou?"
Wanxiang raised her eyes while holding the hot tea, and silently recited in her heart, 'The comer is not good': "It's just this question? ”
"Hmm."
Juanxiang gestured to Aunt Hong, and Aunt Hong picked up the scimitar on the side and handed it to Juanxiang. The candle flame next to him shook, Wanxiang put down the teacup in her hand and prepared everything, and the two thin lips that were not lit and red spit out one word: "I." ”
So the person outside the gauze tent cut off the candle flame, drew out the thin soft sword around his waist, and threw it at the silk incense in the gauze tent like a silver moon in the waves, and the silk incense shook off the scabbard to block it.
Seeing that the other party is also a well-trained killer, he came here to take the life of Wanxiang. Could it be that the matter of his escape from death was known to King Yi so quickly?
Thinking that there was an injury on the back of the incense, Aunt Hong picked up her short knife and blocked it in front of the incense, and the person who came must have found out in advance that the fragrance was good at using poison, so she came prepared not to be dazzled by the incense in the room.
People who usually go into the vegetarian room are dizzy when they go out. This man was the only one who didn't.
The people outside the door heard the sound and rushed in. Wanxiang half-lay on the couch and watched a group of people entanglement in front of her, the plain room was not so big, and more than a dozen people rushed in and became even more cramped.
They are in the middle of the rotation to catch people and block moves, while trying to protect Wanxiang and subduing people, it is really much more lively than singing.
Wanxiang picked up the teacup and swallowed the tea gently, and jumped up and kicked the killer's heart while the person was too busy to take care of himself, someone tripped him with a foot, and Wanxiang immediately pulled out a personal dagger and stabbed it into the heart.
Silently reciting the three numbers, the person swallowed his breath, and as soon as Wanxiang pulled out the knife and got up, the people on the ground were bloody.
Aunt Hong stepped forward: "Girl, you don't have to live to ask?" ”
"King Yi shouldn't know that I'm still alive, and only the Yuan family will avenge Yuanhou. It's the same whether you ask or not. ”
"Do you want to tell the prince?"
Wanxiang picked up the handkerchief on the side of the desk casually, didn't answer whether it was used or not, and said directly: "It's cleaned up." ”
This will make the incense look calm, but the wound hurts badly. Sitting back to the side of the case with his heart covered, he was injured and fell into Fengjiang until now, Wanxiang didn't know what was hanging on his breath, and his life was so big that he couldn't believe it.
Pick up the pen and continue writing as if nothing had just happened. I wrote until my wrists were sore, and I turned my head to look at the Yuehua tree in the lower reaches of the Xun River, where there were lights and dotted river lanterns.
Looking at those noisy people, Wanxiang asked herself, if she really couldn't find evidence to refute Liyun Qi, would she have to directly identify Xiao Huaijin as the one who led the troops into the Ten Thousand Poison Cave in the first place?
When the time comes, how should I kill him?
Thinking about it, he coughed twice. I closed the window and walked back to the bed alone and lay on the pillow for a long time.
Xiao Huaijin on the other side has not received news from Beixun for a long time, and Aunt Hong wanted to send a message, but she was quietly stopped by Wanxiang.
I don't know what her injuries have become: "Liang is wrong." ”
"The subordinates are here."
"Let's put the Liyun Banner down."
"But what if he leaves and doesn't come back?"
"If she doesn't want to, she won't be happy even if she comes back. At least if I don't force her, she will stay in Beixun honestly and watch the same moon as me. ”
Looking at the same moon, it is also the same moonlight that accompanies people to sleep. Wanxiang's heart couldn't stop thinking about that person, and she forgot that Bai Xiuzi and herself made an appointment to come over to deliver medicine later.
That night, Bai Xiuzi missed the appointment, but Wanxiang didn't care.
Early in the morning of the second day, two strange women came to the Tibetan Incense Pavilion, standing at the door and saying only one sentence from beginning to end: "Call Miss Wanxiang to come to me." ”
It's strange for a woman to come to this kind of place, and it's not that the amateurs are still clamoring to see Wanxiang, if someone hadn't seen that their identity was not ordinary, they really should have been beaten out by the pouting twice.
Aunt Hong walked over with a handkerchief, and when she saw a lady with a straight face and luxurious clothes, and a slightly more simple maid, she couldn't help but tease: "Yo? Whose lady was this swept away?
What are you doing here? Steal your daughters' business? ”
The little girls standing behind Honggu were all happy with their flowers and branches, looking like they were watching a play. Aunt Hong continued: "But seeing that Madame can be a mother to our girl, let's find another way." ”
"Hahahaha......"
The person on the other side was teased so that his face was blue and white for a while, and it took a long time to say to Aunt Hong: "Please come out to see me." ”
"Who are you?" Aunt Hong instantly put away her smiling face: "How many people outside spend a lot of money just to see Miss Wanxiang may not be able to see one side, you have empty white teeth and two lips touched, and you said that you can see it if you want to see it?" ”
"You're bold!" The little maid in the back shouted: "My old lady is the mother of the general of the Zhenguo Dynasty, the first emperor is the wife of Yingguo, and she is also the eldest lady of the Bai family, how can she be compared with you filthy people?" ”
"Yo!" Aunt Hong seemed to be startled and patted her chest: "Who should I be?" It turned out to be a widow! Oops, it's really a laughing old lady. ”
"Laughing at what? What are you laughing at?! What's so funny? ”
Aunt Hong leaned on her waist and collected her smiling face: "Such a noble lady, come to a place like ours just to see Miss Wanxiang?" Say goodbye to your son? ”
The white lady stood in front of the door without humility or arrogance: "I will not speak to you, a 'dog that can only bark', let your master come down." ”
"My dog still doesn't recognize you, this is the old lady's territory, no matter what kind of lady you are, if you dare to go wild here, get out of the old lady!"
