Chapter 191: Little Monk
Shen Baiyan didn't let Song Zhi come out, but he didn't stop Song Zhi from knowing about it.
Meteor brought a stool and put it behind the screen, Song Zhi held a small bowl of red bean porridge in his hand, eating it with relish, as if he was listening to a play.
Before Shen Baiyan went out, he glanced at her quite helplessly, only to see Song Zhi blinking a pair of eyes, very innocent.
Shen Baiyan's clothes on weekdays are always light colors, but usually the clothes are embroidered with delicate and delicate patterns with fine threads of the same color.
Today's dress was made for him by Song Zhi, so it's a little different.
The ink-colored robe, but on the hem is a blood-colored arc, the blood color is not distinct, only when Shen Baiyan's body moves, the light is refracted, and it can be seen that this is a rose flower.
Song Zhi personally depicted the pattern of the rose, the petals are not much ink, the end of the pen is brought at will, but the spikes on the branches and leaves of the rose are sketched a little bit, when you look closely, the spikes are clear.
The two monks were prostrate on the ground, and the first thing they saw was the looming rose petals on the hem of Shen Baiyan's clothes.
It was like the shape of a petal dyed by blood little by little, and the two of them couldn't help but feel a pang in their hearts.
If Song Zhi knew that the roses he painted were so terrifying in the eyes of others, I don't know how he would feel.
Shen Baiyan had never seen the appearance of these two people, and the matter was originally handled by Su Shui.
"What?" Shen Baiyan lowered his eyes and looked at the real ring scars on the heads of these two people.
"Lord Wang, late last night, someone kidnapped Jieyu and left a note for the two of us, saying that if you want this little monk to be safe and sound, you will exchange your daughter for it." The slightly stronger monk spoke.
As soon as she heard this, Song Zhi couldn't help but stiffen, she stuffed the bowl into Meteor's hand, got up and walked to the screen, peeking at the two of them through the gap, Meteor and Water Chestnut also stretched out their ears to listen.
The monk who spoke was the second senior brother, although he was strong, he was not tall, and he looked stocky. A pair of eyes are very bright, and the nose is also large, so that there are two more lines on the cheeks.
"Lord Wang, quit foolishness is a very innocent child, please save him." The other monk is the senior brother, he is very thin, just look at the back, if it is said that it is a woman dressed as a man, some people believe it. The appearance is also very ordinary, a face that can be seen everywhere, not beautiful or ugly, not the slightest special.
When Shen Baiyan heard the idea of someone fighting a barbarian, the short sword in his sleeve could no longer restrain the wisps of cold light. Although outsiders couldn't see this sword light, they could also sense the cold aura around Shen Baiyan.
Shen Baiyan stretched out his hand to the two monks without saying a word, and the thin monk was only stunned for a moment, and quickly handed the note he found from his arms to Shen Baiyan.
Strips of paper are only the most ordinary rice paper, which can be found everywhere. The words are very upright, but they are not distinctive, and it is possible to write this word by dragging a reader at will.
There are only seven words on the paper, 'The daughter of the Shen family changed to a monk.' ’
Shen Baiyan slowly smoothed the note, put it on the tea table at hand, and said, "You two have good kung fu, I don't have many guards to go out this time, why don't you try to win people?" ”
The two monks smiled bitterly, shook their heads violently, and said, "Don't joke, the prince has nothing to do, only a little self-knowledge can survive today." ”
The two of them were extremely honest, and they almost didn't show Shen Baiyan their hearts and livers.
"What is the origin of this little monk?" Shen Baiyan's subtext is, how could the people hiding in the shadows think that they could coerce these two people by kidnapping this little monk?
"It's just an abandoned baby!" The thin monk said in a low voice, his voice had a strange sense of depression, Shen Baiyan glanced at him, the thin monk lowered his head a little, and continued: "It's just that he has been raised since he was a child, and this child is well-behaved and pitiful, how can he watch him fall into this situation where his life and death are unknown?" ”
"Even if I intervene in this matter, it needs to be clarified. Since this man has his eyes on you, he will know that you have come to the king's house today, and you have returned empty-handed. Is the little monk still alive? Shen Baiyan hit the nail on the head.
The two monks looked at each other and lost their minds for a while.
At this time, the water chestnut came in from the other road at the courtyard gate, carrying a food box in his hand.
She walked to the side of the two monks, half-squatted down, and displayed the food in the food box in the same way, and said, "This is hazelnut crisp, stewed winter melon, fried tofu in soybean oil, and two bowls of sweet potato soup." Two masters, this is the food you have obtained today. ”
Monk Zhuang broke out in a cold sweat, and it wasn't until the water chestnut walked up to him that he realized the existence of this smart girl. At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, glad that he had not been overwhelmed.
This food box can be regarded as a solution to the current situation, but it can be said that today is the first to come here to explore the depths.
Water chestnut pushed the food box to Monk Zhuang's hand, walked to Shen Baiyan's side, and said softly: "It was ordered by the princess." ”
Shen Baiyan nodded slightly, even if he didn't say it, he knew that this was Song Zhi's idea. He took the note on the tea table, put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it, and said, "There seems to be a lingering fragrance of ecstasy, let people check it." ”
The water chestnut took the note between Shen Baiyan's fingers and quickly disappeared in front of the two monks.
Shen Baiyan moved his fingers, as if brushing away the dust in the air, and the two monks instantly understood what he meant, picked up the food box and walked away quickly.
Shen Baiyan walked behind the screen, only to see that Song Zhi was no longer here, and even the stupidest person could guess where she was now. Shen Baiyan had only walked a few steps to the courtyard when he heard the laughter of the barbarian.
There were several swings in the backyard of the house, some of which were in disrepair and the planks were a little rotten. Shen Baiyan asked the craftsman to renovate it, and Man'er and Song Zhi were sitting on the largest swing and swinging, and they could also sit down for two adults.
This big swing is in the shape of a round bowl, which is very fresh. Shen Baiyan didn't say hello, he flew forward and landed lightly on the swing that was shaking.
Song Zhi was frightened a little, but he was a barbarian, and when he saw Shen Baiyan suddenly appear, he clapped his hands happily and laughed.
Song Zhi lowered his eyes and looked at Man'er's happy appearance, and he reluctantly moved the corners of his mouth.
The maids pushed the swing hard, Song Zhi's hair was flying, the barbarian was smiling like a flower, and Shen Baiyan's vision was clear only Song Zhi and Man'er, and behind him was a hazy green.
Counting the small one in Song Zhi's belly, it is Shen Baiyan's most important person who is now on this swing.
After playing around for a while, the barbarian laughed and laughed tiredly, so he fell asleep on Shen Baiyan's shoulder. Song Zhi hooked Man'er's hanging fingers and said, "Can we go back to the house?" ”
Shen Baiyan turned his head to look at her, and saw that there was no panic or fear in her eyes, only full of trust.
"Go back, yes. But he is in the dark, and we are in the light. If you don't get rid of it this time, it's still a scourge. Shen Baiyan's words did not surprise Song Zhi, she also thought so, but there were few clues, where to start?
Shen Baiyan understood what she was thinking from Song Zhi's slightly confused eyes, and only said four words, "The wild goose has left traces." ”
Man'er slept soundly in the room between the two of them, but it was just a wall, but Song Zhi still asked Cha Yun to stay with her.
Shen Baiyan had people hunt pheasants and hares, and now they have been roasted. The people who came to the small kitchen sliced the meat, and made a pot of soup with half of the pheasant and tender fennel, and when Song Zhi smelled it, he knew that the taste was definitely not bad.
Although she had something in her mind, she was still moved by the novelty of this game.
There is only one spicy shredded rabbit meat, and Song Zhi's cup can't be stopped. Her lips were red with spicy heat, and she hurriedly took a sip of rose dew.
"Is it delicious?" After Shen Baiyan drank a bowl of soup, his eating speed became busy, and he spent most of the time serving vegetables for Song Zhi.
"Hmm!" Song Zhi nodded, "It would be nice if I could drink!" It's a pity that he can't drink alcohol with this little guy in his belly. ”
Suddenly, there was a sound of Su Shui, which was not far away, as if it appeared out of thin air. Song Zhi had heard it a few times and knew that this was the sound they had forced in with their internal strength.
"Lord Wang, I caught someone."
Shen Baiyan got up immediately, and as soon as Song Zhi's buttocks left the chair a little, he was gently and firmly pressed back into position by Shen Baiyan's shoulders, "You continue to eat." He glanced at Meteor and motioned for Meteor to come and give Song Zhibu a dish.
Meteor quickly piled vegetables into the bowl in front of Song Zhi with his hands and feet, just wanting to trap Song Zhi with food.
Song Zhi glanced at her helplessly, so he had to continue to eat obediently.
Song Zhi always chewed and swallowed slowly when she ate, and after she was full and rinsed her mouth with bamboo salt water, Shen Baiyan also came back, picked up chopsticks and ate the rest of Song Zhi's meal.
"Lord Wang, let the slave maid take it and heat it up, right?" Meteor Path.
"Not necessarily." Shen Baiyan said briefly, these meat dishes still taste good when they are cold.
"Who did Sushui catch?" Song Zhi wiped his mouth with a handkerchief and couldn't wait to ask.
"A whistle that looks out for the wind, fed poison, and goes back." Shen Baiyan took a sip of wine and said.
"What do you ask?" Song Zhi asked again.
"He's just a subordinate, and he doesn't know who he's doing it for. However, ninety percent are the twelve princes. He had come to me many times, both openly and secretly, and just wanted me to stand on his boat. Shen Baiyan sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat, and a suspicious shadow jumped in his heart, suddenly put down his chopsticks, looked at Song Zhi and said: "This matter is not very important, I think it is strange now, why did they kidnap that little monk to blackmail those two?" Is the portion of this little monk enough? ”
"What do you mean? Is the identity of the little monk different? Song Zhi recalled the appearance of the little monk, but he was a white fat child, about five or six years old.
"I just think it's too childish to send two monks to kidnap the barbarians." Shen Baiyan's brows furrowed tightly, he thought about it for a long time, then loosened his brows, and said, "The Eighth Emperor has a son who has just turned one year old, and he said that he is dead. ”
