Chapter 57: The Hidden Dragon and the Crouching Tiger
The cold wind of the winter moon blew the loud horn and swept across the streets of the capital, and the hawkers paced the streets with their arms crossed, and the white haze drank from their mouths, and the trembling shouts sounded.
The bluestone slabs of the streets still have traces of blood left yesterday, which are the traces that dripped from the prisoner cart and spilled all the way to the execution ground. The people hated and spurned the rebels, and no one had pity on them, including those who are going to be exiled today, who were like the pests of the country, bound hand and foot, whipped with a cold leather whip and sent to the frontier.
"Rub la la~" The sound of chains mopping the floor came and went, and the men who were reduced to slavery were a little slow to walk because of the heavy shackles, and the soldiers who sent them were very impatient to swing the leather whips again and again, no need to think about it, there must be very few people who can reach the frontier alive.
Wei Xu's trembling legs fled through the crowd, muttering to himself: No, I can't let them see me. Her expression was as panicked as if she had seen the most terrifying demon in the world.
But, who would have thought? That ugly woman who is dirty and runs away like a rat crossing the street will be the most ** Wei Xu in the capital!
There is one person who recognizes her, that is Wei Linyou, who is standing on the street with a simple cloth bag on his back, his expression is complicated, he can't tell whether it is sad or sad, his handsome temperament is faintly desolate, however, he is only eighteen years old. When he saw Wei Xu fleeing like a beast hiding from a flood, his brows frowned slightly, and finally, his clenched fist stiffly loosened. He turned around indifferently and walked towards the dark alley, his departure step firm.
On this day, Xi Ning was warming his hands on the charcoal fire, and Xiaocui was talking about trivial matters in the palace.
"The master of Yongle Palace has not appeared for a long time. The subordinates in his palace also rarely appear, which is very abnormal......" Xiaocui said cautiously looking at Xi Ning's expression.
Xi Ning lowered her head, Xiaocui didn't see her expression, but she still felt the anger from the other side. She closed her mouth in amusement and waited quietly.
"Purple Mantuo?" Xi Ning got up suddenly, stood in place and muttered to himself in distraction, didn't stop any longer, threw off the leather windbreaker on his shoulder, and the wind disappeared in place.
"Bang~" kicked open the door of Yongle Palace and went straight to the inner room.
"Little fox, little fox, little fox!"
Xi Ning's voice was trembling, in fact, her heart was also trembling, she was afraid......
However, the truth is not what Xi Ning imagined, Miao Ren sat at the table and drank tea, the dark purple single clothes stood proudly like a blooming plum blossom in this cold winter, he said: "Xiao Xi, why are you here?" ”
"You...... You're okay! ”
"Xiao Xi wants me to have something?"
No, Xi Ning's feeling is not right, this person is not a little fox, who is he?
"Who are you?" Xi Ning's anger instantly approached Miao Ren.
"Of course I'm your little fox! Could it be that if you have a new love, you don't want to recognize me as an old person? Miao Renqiao's smiling eyes flashed a purple light, and it was fleeting.
Xi Ning felt something strange, but failed to catch the whole picture. Xindao: No! The little fox never wears anything other than red, let alone purple. Purple?
She seemed to have thought of something, but she wasn't sure what it was.
Miao Ren's heart was beating wildly, and he approached Xi Ning step by step, with unprecedented greed in his eyes. A voice shouted in his heart: Get the Natal Pill! What idiot actually gave the natal pill to this damn woman, hum! I'm going to get back what belongs to me.
Xi Ning stepped back step by step, her feeling telling her that the man in front of her was in danger.
Suddenly, Miao Ren pounced on Xi Ning, the action was extremely fast, and Xi Ning couldn't dodge it at all.
At this time, a burst of green light burst out from her body, and Miao Ren's body was directly ejected by the green light, until she knocked over the table and smashed a bone china bottle, and finally slammed into the wall before stopping.
Miao Ren stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and the black pupils in the peach blossom eyes gradually turned purple.
"Damn the phantom beast, it's going to be a monster when it's dead!"
As he spoke, he was about to strike again, but he had barely taken two steps before he fell to the ground with a bang.
Xi Ning didn't think about it and hurriedly stepped forward, turned over Miao Ren's body, and walked to the side of the bed with him in his arms.
"Xiao Xi." This time the voice was full of infinite tenderness, and Xi Ning knew that it was her little fox who had returned.
"Little fox, don't speak, I'll save you now." She said with tears in her big eyes.
"Nope! Xiao Xi, you can't save me... Wait... Wait for my master... The master knows how to do it. ”
"Where's your damn master?" Xi Ning asked anxiously.
"Not damn it... The master was very good to me... Huh..."
"Tell me how I'm going to find him?" Xi Ning hugged Miao Ren in his arms tightly, and the tears could no longer hold back, rolling down one by one.
"Xiao Xi, don't cry... The master will be here in a few days, and I will write to inform him. Miao Ren tried to raise his sour arm to wipe away Xi Ning's tears, but ......, "Xiao Xi, after I transform into someone else, please stay away from me... Far away. I can't control him anymore. ”
"Who is he?" Xi Ning couldn't help but ask. Miao Ren slowly closed his dry eyes, and only spit out one word "demon" in the moment before he fell unconscious.
On this day, there was chaos in the palace. The empress does not go to court, she stays in Yongle Palace and does not go out, who persuades her to be angry. In the end, the imperial husband went to the court to observe and deal with government affairs.
Baili Qianao and Xiaojun assisted in handling it, and took care of Xi Ning in Yongle Palace in their spare time.
It is said that Miao Ren's master will come, and this wait is five days. These days when Miao Ren was in a coma, Xi Ning guarded him without sleep or food. This made Xiaojun feel the crisis, and it turned out that Xi Ning still cared about Miao Ren the most in his heart.
This realization almost made him collapse, he waited for so long, how could he let a latecomer occupy all of Xining's mind? If everyone is treated the same, maybe he feels a little better. However, now he understands that Xi Ning's favorite is Miao Ren, and it must be Ethan when he comes down, then Baili Qianao, and Dongfang Yue, maybe the last one will be himself.
Ethan didn't think like he did, but he did understand his thoughts. With a cold smile in his heart, he turned around to receive Miao Ren's master.
This old man with a childish face is Miao Ren's master? Isn't it a little too young?
"The old man is Miao Ren's master, what about others?" A deep voice asked Ethan with a strange penetrating power.
"Senior, please!" Ethan's attitude was humble and generous, which made the old man like it, so his eyes glanced at Ethan's face again, and finally he was surprised to find that this man was originally the face of the Ninety-Five, but he was changed by life. It's so strange! This is the hidden dragon and crouching tiger in this world!
