Chapter 267: Admiration is frightening
Li Hua looked at him for a moment, then lowered his head, and his voice was much quieter: "It's for the general." ”
She paused slightly, and when she saw that Ye Yuanpei didn't answer, she picked up and said, "The slave just admires the general's demeanor, so I want to follow you." ”
Ye Yuanpei smiled: "Do you admire it eight years ago, or now?" ”
Li Hua raised her head again, Xu saw that Ye Yuanpei's expression softened, and thought that she had slapped the sycophants in the right place this time, so she was a little excited in her words: "It was eight years ago, and it is now." ”
Ye Yuanpei was really speechless.
Don't look at how happy he usually amuses Zhuang Siyan, it's because he is familiar with each other, and he knows that the other party has no malicious intentions, it's just lip service.
But the woman in front of her, who had been pretending to be pitiful in front of them for so long, suddenly became a master murderer, and said that she admired him, but no one would have to break out in a cold sweat.
Since he has seen a lot of the world, Ye Yuanpei was also frightened when he saw this woman at this time.
He didn't say anything more, just told her to wait here, and he would come back to see her when the morning came.
Li Huaxian was very obedient, nodded slightly, and glanced at Lu Shi on the ground and asked, "Then what should she do?" Did the general keep her here too? ”
Ye Yuanpei didn't answer her words, and after going out, he sent two groups of people, one to keep an eye on the plum flowers in the house, and one to guard the outer layer.
He said very carefully: "You must be careful, in addition to not letting her run, you must also protect yourself, that woman is very murderous." ”
To his surprise, this time Li Hua didn't run, and of course she didn't kill anyone.
Ye Yuanpei also kept his promise and went to see her early the next morning.
Whether it was to see if she had run away, or if she really remembered what she had said last night, only he knew.
However, Li Hua was unexpectedly happy when she saw him appear, she almost bounced up from the chair and walked a few steps to the door, only to pause again as if she remembered something, and Ying Ying gave Ye Yuanpei a salute.
Lu's body had been disposed of, and the room had been cleaned up very cleanly, and on the table facing the door, there was even a small bunch of grass with some water droplets on it.
Li Hua saw Ye Yuanpei's gaze move to it, so she took the initiative to speak: "I went out to pick it in the morning, I want to add some vitality to this house, and also go to last night's ......, last night's taste." ”
She was a little shy, her eyes swept under her nose and fell on Ye Yuanpei's body, almost making people forget that she was the woman who killed with a knife last night.
Ye Yuanpei will not forget, since she is trying to save herself.
After he went back last night, he didn't fall asleep immediately, but thought about Li Hua's words back and forth, including her life experience.
Judging from her skills, even if she is really a maid of Li Jisheng's family, she will not be an ordinary maid, this means, as well as this forbearance in the general's mansion, are not something that ordinary people can do.
So when he was detained in the gambling house, he was in such a pitiful state that he was pretending, and her ultimate goal may be the same as now, or even worse, but she didn't show it.
As soon as he thought of the situation that night, as well as the fact that Zhuang Siyan brought her out, Ye Yuanpei quietly sweated.
Li Hua pretended to be too real, they didn't see it, if she did it at that time, would Zhuang Siyan not be able to hide it?
Ye Yuanpei sat silently for a moment, and Li Hua had already opened his mouth first: "General, didn't you rest well last night?" ”
Ye Yuanpei raised his eyes to look at her, but saw that Li Hua was staring at his eyes, and gently stroked his eye circles with his hand.
There are many days when he hasn't slept well, and Ye Yuanpei doesn't care if he has dark circles under his eyes, anyway, he is handsome, and the dark circles under his eyes can be said to be a panda, and his ugly dark circles are like being blind.
Everything depends on the appearance, and has nothing to do with the eye circles.
However, at this time, Li Hua was still in the mood to tell him this, which shows that this woman's psychological quality is not comparable to ordinary people.
Ye Yuanpei pondered the words for a while, and asked, "Didn't you sleep well, thinking about you...... You said that you are from the Li family, so what were you doing there? ”
Li Hua probably thought of her own words and phrases last night, or she had already thought about these words, so when she heard him ask, she didn't even hesitate, and replied directly: "I am a maid in the name of the Li family, but I am actually the secret guard of the Li family." ”
"Dark Guard? What do you do? ”
Li Hua wrenched her slender fingers and counted them to Ye Yuanpei: "Take care of the garden, protect the safety of the master, and listen to the master's arrangement and go outside to do some things." ”
Ye Yuanpei asked, "What is going on outside?" ”
Li Hua raised her eyes to look at him, and her tone paused slightly.
Ye Yuanpei didn't know what was going on, and he also raised his eyes to look at her.
When the four eyes met, Ye Yuanpei saw the light in her eyes last night, but Li Hua only saw the confusion in the man's eyes.
If you are puzzled, how can you approach her? The things she relied on were gone, and the Li family no longer needed her to protect them, so let's keep what she had in her heart, right?
And in Li Hua's heart, there is only one person who lives, and that is Ye Yuanpei.
When Ye Yuanpei was notorious in the capital, she was still a little girl, and no one knew why such a young child would like such a scumbag.
But Li Hua just likes him, and once she likes it, it has never changed for so many years.
She was in the Li family, but she always inquired about Ye Yuanpei's news, and once had the idea of going to the army, but the Li family did not let her go.
Not long after she had that idea, the Li family was also defeated, and she went to the gambling house.
Not wanting to make a mistake, she finally met this person, and lived in his house for so long, although she rarely saw him, but the thought of being under the same roof with him, Li Hua was still very happy.
She gently stroked the hair of her sideburns, straightened her sleeves, moved her feet half a step forward, not as presumptuous as last night, and asked Ye Yuanpei softly: "General, I will tell you everything, will you still keep me in the mansion?" ”
Ye Yuanpei didn't finish his words, and replied to her: "It depends." ”
Li Hua pursed her lips, and her gaze moved around him, as if she wanted to keep this in her heart.
Ye Yuanpei was a little uncomfortable with her, and looked away, but the person sat still and didn't move.
He was waiting, waiting for Li Hua's next words, those words were very helpful to them, and they were the truth that Zhuang Siyan had been looking for for so long.
Li Hua's original name was not Li Hua, this name was changed after going to the Li family, and she didn't go to the Li family for a long time, because the Li family's rise in Beijing was only a few years ago.
She said: "When I went, the Li family had just completed the current house, and it had not yet been cleaned up, and there were debris left behind after the repair everywhere. ”
She followed a group of newly recruited servants, cleaned the house inside and out, and went to see Master Li.
As the master, it is natural to make their details clear, and when I asked Li Hua, I learned that she was an orphan, and in order to make a living when she was young, she also learned some fists and kicks, so she took it out for special purposes.
Of course, there have been some tests in the middle, testing her kung fu and her loyalty.
But Li Hua is a person who is very good at hiding, and the Li family can't see a trace of rebellion in her, so they trust her more and more.
According to Li Hua, the Li family did come into contact with some official banks.
Together with the gambling house and Lu Lin, they remelted the silver, took it out for whitewashing, and then took a part of it.
Ye Yuanpei asked: "Do you know where the official silver came from?" ”
Li Hua shook her head: "I've never seen this, but I heard Master Li say that he is a big official in Beijing, which is enough to keep them worry-free." ”
Ye Yuanpei asked again: "The official silver is Lu Jiarong's, and the gambling house helps to launder it, so what is Master Li doing in it?" ”
Li Hua thought for a while before saying, "It doesn't seem to have done anything, it's just that every time the silver is melted, he sends people from the house to send it to the gambling room." ”
"Do you know anything about Master Li? Do you know what he used to do? ”
Li Hua thought about this question for a longer time, and shook her head for a long time before saying, "I don't know, but it seems that I heard from the master of the gambling house that he used to do things somewhere, and it was not easy to come out." ”
Ye Yuanpei followed her words and asked, "Is it a closed place, the kind that can't come out if you go in?" ”
Li Hua nodded: "It should be, and Master Li has changed his name." ”
"Changed your name? So do you know what he used to be called? ”
Li Hua said: "I don't know what it's called, but my surname is Liu, I once passed under the window of the wing room, and I heard him talking to Mrs. Li in the room, the two seemed to be joking, and they called Master Liu as they spoke." ”
Zhuang Siyan had already told Ye Yuanpei about Rongji, and he also knew about the Silver Foundry, and the two of them suspected that Master Li was likely to have escaped from the Silver Foundry.
Now listening to Li Hua say this, this matter is basically settled.
When Ye Yuanpei came out of the courtyard, he asked people to find Zhuang Siyan, but the person who came back said that she returned to the palace yesterday, and the emperor didn't let her come out today.
Ye Yuanpei was very sulky for a while.
This is the misfortune of marrying the emperor, he can have three palaces, six courts, and seventy-two concubines, and his concubines have to go out with his consent.
It's so unfair, I don't know if Zhuang Siyan was kicked in the brain by a donkey before, so he chose that person.
If he Ye Yuanpei, even if he doesn't marry in his life, don't go to the palace.
When he said that when he was someone else, his waist was straight, but he forgot that he had crossed over by himself, and his ability was unlimited, even if he was not a general, he could live like a fish in water in the Dasheng Dynasty, however, he still did, and he still had to listen to Ling Tiancheng's words.
Strictly speaking, he is not much better than Zhuang Siyan, and he may be worse than her, compared to Ling Tiancheng, who spoils Zhuang Siyan, but no one spoils him.
I chattered for a while, and went to see Niu Er again, but unfortunately this guy was very hard-mouthed, didn't say a word, and just looked at him with fierce eyes.
Probably Ye Yuanpei was really too black in the past, but now although he has been whitewashed by the traverser, the excessive hatred will not be forgotten.
This incident reminds Ye Yuanpei that he still has to be careful when he goes out in the future, if he walks on the road one day and suddenly rushes out of a Niu Er, or Li Hua, he really can't resist it for a while.
Now he was a little overwhelmed, and when he thought of Li Hua's attempt on him, Ye Yuanpei felt uncomfortable.
The most important thing is that he doesn't believe that this woman just admires him, he always feels that there must be other secrets behind Li Hua.
Ye Yuanpei used to be admired by others, such as Zhuang Siyan, but no one can be as frightening as this woman.
Yes, he admitted that he was a little afraid of this woman, so he urgently needed to consult Zhuang Siyan with a countermeasure.
