、、、、、、、、、、 smiled quietly: "Yes, if that's the case, then congratulations to Gong Jiang." She only saw that Jiang Ergong was a little interested in Xiao Xuexi, but she didn't know that there was such a reason. Come to think of it, Jiang Ergong flattered Xiao Xuexi so much, also because he fell in love with Xiao Xuexi's identity and status, and was afraid that Jiang Changyang would get Xiao Xuexi, right? She vaguely guessed a little about Jiang Ergong's intentions, and she had a plan in her heart.

Jiang Ergong saw that her face was as usual, and he couldn't help but secretly wonder, could it be that he was mistaken? But since he had already made a move, there was absolutely no reason to stop, so he had to try again, so he smiled and said, "Naturally, it's true." Where would I joke about such a thing? He looked left and right, and motioned for Peony to go with him: "He Niang, this is not the place to speak, let's go over there." ”

Peony looked nervous and scared, looking left and right, and sneered: "Jiang Gong, this is not good." This black light is blinding, lonely men and widows. ”

Jiang Ergong quickly turned around when he heard this, but when he saw Peony nervously tugging at the corners of his clothes, he looked like he was afraid that he would be deceived and taken advantage of, and the little maid behind her looked at herself vigilantly with the eyes of a disciple, and couldn't help but spit on herself. Who did you think of him? This woman is very good-looking, but he has never liked the penchant of broken flowers and willows.

In the end, it is much more cautious to lack ears, so he whispered in his ear: "Public, it is important to be cautious in everything. ”

Jiang Ergong was silent when he heard this, he didn't blame this woman for thinking nonsense, this black light is blind, barren mountains and mountains, lonely men and widows, it is indeed inappropriate. This is a critical moment, and it is not good to let others gossip something. Thinking of this, Jiang Ergong coughed and said, "He Niang, don't be afraid, I am a righteous man." There is absolutely no ill will towards you. You are not afraid of leopards, so how can you be afraid of me? ”

"Of course, how could there be villains in the Zhu Guogong Mansion? I'll just remind you that the public is a high-spirited and bright festival, but I'm afraid that there will be villains with broken mouths and tarnished reputations, which can't be exchanged for a thousand gold. Peony echoed and thought to himself, generally speaking, people who say that they are righteous people are not good people, just like people who say that they are the elders are usually not the elders.

When Jiang Ergong heard this, he laughed happily: "That's right, it's good if you know." He coughed again: "He Niang, you may not know that this Xiao Niang has an extraordinary background, and she is a woman with five surnames, and her father is the new secretary of the ministry, and she is beautiful and talented, so it can be said that she is the best marriage partner for men." It's not something that ordinary women can match. ”

When he said this, he deliberately stopped and observed Peony's expression. But Peony nodded: "She is indeed a good girl." In addition, he was still inexplicably stunned, not even the expected hit, jealous, frustrated, and sad look, he couldn't help but be a little depressed, and his words were a little weak: "It stands to reason that my brother should be ecstatic when he gets such an opportunity, but he doesn't look down on this family business very much, but my father insists on bringing them together." As the saying goes, a twisted melon is not sweet, these two people who have no intention of each other to get together can still get good? I'm so worried about them. ”

Peony listened to what he meant, as if Xiao Xuexi was not interested in Jiang Changyang, according to common sense, she should agree with Jiang Ergong's words, gossip a little more, or be infatuated with Jiang Changyang, she should ask Jiang Changyang and Xiao Xuexi who their favorite people are. But she would never ask this question, she turned around and left: "Jiang Gong, I'm really sorry, I really can't do what you said, let alone manage it." If I hear it too much, I'm afraid that it will damage the girl's reputation, and I'm even more afraid that it will be bad if there is any misunderstanding in my benefactor. I beg your forgiveness, and I will take my leave. ”

Jiang Ergong's words were not finished, especially the most critical sentence was not spoken, seeing that she turned around and left without hesitation, he couldn't help but be anxious: "Hey...... Don't go, I'm not done yet......"

Suddenly, someone laughed on the side: "What does Jiang Gong have to say to my Danniang?" But it was Li Manniang who came over with Mrs. Dou and Xue Niang.

Jiang Ergong scolded secretly, touched his hair, and said, "I'm apologizing to her and asking her where she was hurt." He rolled his eyes and had an idea: "Also, I will convey a word to her on behalf of my brother." "It doesn't matter if she is or not, just spread the word first, so that Xiao Xuexi will be disgusted with Jiang Changyang first.

Li Manniang frowned: "Dare to ask Brother Ling?" ”

Jiang Ergong smiled slyly: "My brother is Jiang Changyang, and the ladies should probably know each other." He saved He Niang during the festival, but no one knows about it. ”

Xue Niang pointed at him in astonishment: "What? Brother Jiang is your brother? ”

"Snow Lady!" Mrs. Dou scolded lightly, and Xue Niang stopped her mouth in time. Sure enough, it looks a bit like it. She didn't understand the truth, so she couldn't help muttering to herself, it's so strange, she lacks ears and says that he is the head of the Zhuguo Mansion, and the lord of Xingkang calls him Jiang Erlang, could it be that Jiang Changyang is actually the chief?

The eldest is the most likely to inherit the title, Xue Niang sighed secretly, how can this kind of person be the eldest child? In any aspect, Jiang Changyang is much better than him, this God is really unfair. No wonder Jiang Changyang never mentioned his life experience, if it was her, she would not have died, and resolutely did not mention it.

Jiang Ergong raised his eyebrows and looked at Xue Niang: "It turns out that Huang Niang also knows my brother." You are good friends with He Niang, she left without listening to what I said, and I said the same to you, you go and tell her. ”

Xue Niang said without thinking: "What? ”

Mrs. Dou hurriedly reminded her gently: "Xue Niang, since He Niang refuses to listen, you can't tell her if you listen to it, otherwise what if she gets angry with you?" In this case, it is useless for you to listen to it, and it is a waste of Jiang Gong's time. ”

Xue Niang thought about it, and secretly said that she almost made a mistake again, this person is obviously not a good person, since Brother Jiang will not mention him, how can he let him bring a message to Peony. At that moment, he looked at Jiang Ergong and smiled sweetly: "Jiang Gong, my mother is right, Sister He has a big temper, I don't dare to mess with her." You'd better go and talk to her yourself. After saying that, he rushed forward. Mrs. Dou and Li Manniang frowned and glanced at Jiang Ergong, and also followed.

Jiang Ergong was so annoyed that he wanted to say something to keep Xue Niang, but he lacked ears and hurriedly persuaded him: "Gong must not." ”

He frowned and said, "What for?" Isn't this law going to work? Then you'd give me another great idea. ”

Missing ears whispered: "Gong, this matter can't be put on the table, and I can't rush it." Now that everyone basically knows about your delay in becoming the world, there are some things that can't be hidden, so be more careful. This method works, but it can come out of anyone's mouth, but it can't come out of your mouth. Not to mention Grandpa Guo, even if others heard that it was you, the younger brother, who said it, it was not very good. Regardless of whether she really has a personal relationship with the Grand Duke, the opportunity has been missed and it is impossible to come back. What you have to do now is to be as humble as you were before, and if anyone asks you about your Grand Duke, you must say good things about him, and praise him without ceasing, and never say anything unpleasant. ”

Jiang Ergong was irritable and scolded in a low voice: "I'm annoyed!" This hypocritical villain, why didn't he die in the Anxi Metropolitan Protectorate? He said he, why did he come back and pound it? He glanced at the county lord of Xingkang and the others who were laughing not far away, and saw that Xiao Xuexi was surrounded by four young men's groups, smiling brightly, and couldn't help but say sourly: "Then I'll go and sit with them." "As long as Xiao Xuexi takes a fancy to him, what else does the old man have to say?

Missing Ear said patiently: "Gong, the hour is not early, instead of wasting your energy by drinking and chatting with them at this time, it is better to go back and rest early, and strive to be a blockbuster tomorrow and come out on top." At that time, who will dare to underestimate you? Those few clan brothers sound good to say, but when it comes to talent and family background, who can really compare with you? All you have to do now is let them see what you're really capable of. ”

Jiang Ergong pondered for a moment, raised his eyes to look at the missing ears and smiled, and patted him on the shoulder: "Zhengde, you are right!" There are so many people, one person says that I am good, and my father can't say that I am bad! I listen to you. What about this? ”

Missing ears said: "Leave this matter to Madame, she must be more thoughtful and do it more properly than you." You just have to show your best and most heroic side to Xiao Niang. ”

The night was deep, the mountain wind whined and whistled outside the tent, and the snow lady slept soundly, smacking her mouth twice like a child from time to time. Peony wrapped the quilt tightly, half-closed eyes and motionless thinking.

After Li Manniang and the others came back before, Li Manniang looked her over and asked her in a low voice about Jiang Ergong, she told her truthfully, but she didn't take the initiative to mention Jiang Changyang. Li Manniang sighed, and did not mention Jiang Changyang, but said: "In this way, the fight between their brothers is very strong, and you are careful of being involved." For the sake of prudence, if it's okay, don't associate with him for the time being. I'll talk about it after that. ”

Although she told Li Manniang at the time that she had actually not seen Jiang Changyang for a long time, she temporarily appeased Li Manniang. But she knew very well that it wasn't a matter of her being careful or careless. Since Jiang Changyang had that agreement with her, she has been tied to Jiang Changyang, although he said that he would be careful not to let those disturbances disturb her, but she understands that as long as someone has a heart, she can always make something. After all, after he returned to the capital, the woman who had the closest relationship with him was her, and she couldn't hide from it, so spread it out, she was waiting to pick it up.

In a hazy moment, Peony heard a strange sound outside the tent, as if something was gently tapping and scraping her felt tent. She sat up a little frightened and looked around vigilantly, but saw that Xue Niang was sleeping deeply, and the two maids sleeping by the door were also sleeping soundly, as if no one heard the strange noise.

It's probably because she thinks about it too much, you need to know that there are always people keeping vigil outside, and if she sees something, she will definitely warn her first. Peony lay down again, but after a short time, she heard a few more soft noises. There was definitely something scratching the felt tent outside, and Peony was about to wake up Xue Niang when she heard the sound of a leaf flute.

She snorted, thinking that she had heard it wrong, and then heard a few more leaf flutes, a bit like a bird's call, but not like it, she felt more like shouting "Dan Niang, Dan Niang". She couldn't help but beat like a drum, nervously grabbed the quilt, and immediately got up and went out, but she was afraid that the others would be woken up and show her whereabouts, so she had to freeze and not move.

After another moment, when the sound of the felt tent being scratched was heard again, she tentatively scratched back a few times. Then there was silence, and the sound of the leaf flute was gone.

Peony quickly put on her clothes, wrapped herself in a hooded cloak, and sat quietly for a while, after confirming that everyone around her was sleeping to death, Fang mustered up her courage, tiptoed past the feet of the two maids, gently opened the door of the felt tent, and stepped out.

Not far away, several fires were blazing, and five or six men on the night vigil were holding a jug of wine and whispering and drinking. In addition to the crackling of firewood and the laughter of men, and the occasional sound of the night breeze through the mountains, there was silence, and the sky in the distance was pitch black. Peony stood at the door of the felt tent, covered her head and face with her hood, and didn't know where to go for a while.

"Danniang......" someone shouted softly from the darkness not far behind her.

Peony turned around quickly, only to see a tall figure standing there, looking at her with a probing head. Sure enough, Jiang Changyang is the most unlikely to appear here! Although she had already guessed, once this guess was confirmed, she couldn't help but grin, looking left and right, to see if anyone was paying attention here, Jiang Changyang saw this, beckoned to her, and said softly: "Come, just come." ”

Peony decided to believe him and turned to the shadows. Jiang Changyang walked in front, she followed behind, after walking out of the camp, it was pitch black, he stopped and took her hand, led her to the front, and quickly turned into a nearby forest, mixed with the sound of the wind, the sound of the fallen leaves being trampled under his feet didn't sound so harsh, and after walking about half a cup of tea, he stopped, stood in front of her and shouted in a low voice: "Danniang." ”

Peony pursed her lips nervously, wrapped her hood tightly, and answered softly: "Why are you here?" Still this time? And how did you find me? ”

Jiang Changyang approached her and whispered: "Danniang, what are you saying, I can't hear it, let's get closer." ”

The light was dim, and Peony couldn't see his face clearly, but she could smell the familiar smell of grass on him, and she could hear his breath, and she could feel his burning breath almost pierce her hood, blowing her face and neck itchy and crispy. Getting closer, Peony instinctively felt the danger, and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but was tightly hugged by a pair of iron arms around her shoulders, and she whispered: "Alas, don't ......" This shameless guy is taking advantage of her seriously.

"Danniang......" Jiang Changyang's breath was a little unstable, he heard his heart beating extremely violently, almost rushing out of his chest, he stabilized his nerves, and said in a low voice: "The situation has been a little unstable these days, I heard that he is also here, I am very worried about you, are you okay?" ”

He was worried about her, so he came in the middle of the night. Peony only felt that the fear of being held on the shoulder by the leopard and the unhappiness of being stopped by Jiang Ergong were nothing, she raised her eyes to look at him, and said in a cheerful tone: "Don't worry, I'm fine." In the middle of the night, it's not safe to walk the mountains, how many people do you bring? It's getting colder and colder, wear so little, are you cold? ”

"Of course it's cold, warm me up. Cold and tired. Jiang Changyang pursed his lips and slammed her into his arms. Peony didn't struggle, she lay quietly on his chest, and hearing his heart beating powerfully under her ears, she experienced a serenity and happiness that she had never experienced before. Jiang Changyang found that Peony was quiet and obedient, and couldn't help but increase the strength on his arm more and more.

Neither of them spoke, just snuggled quietly like this, and the cold mountain wind swirled past them one after another, but neither of them felt cold. After a long time, Peony Fang pushed him: "How do you know that I came here?" ”

Jiang Changyang let go of her, inserted a big hand into her hood, grabbed her hair mischievously and rubbed it wildly, then stopped his hand on her neck and lingered, and said softly: "I naturally know." I also know that he let the leopard lie on your shoulder today to scare you. She didn't mention such a big thing, the first thing she asked was whether he was cold, whether he brought many people, and whether he was safe. With her considerate care, he was willing to run as far as he wanted.

Peony was stunned for a moment and said, "How do you know?" ”

Jiang Changyang smiled: "I just know." He put his hand on her shoulder and muttered affectionately, "Good girl, so brave." ”

After receiving the compliment, Peony was a little proud, looked at him and smiled slightly: "Come on, how do you know?" ”

Jiang Changyang just didn't say it, and deliberately took Qiao: "You guess." ”

"Don't say it." Seeing that he didn't seem to be able to ask, Peony reached out and pulled his hand: "Take it away, I'm leaving, I'm afraid that Xue Niang and they won't find me when they wake up, and it won't look good if they make trouble." ”

"I'll keep an eye over there, it's okay to stay a little longer." Jiang Changyang sighed, took her hand in the spotlight, and said in a low voice: "I was going to Fangyuan to look for you today, I have something good to tell you, I went to know that you were called here by them, and it just so happened that I learned that he also followed, he has such a temper, I am very worried, so I chased after me." There is another worry, that is, Xiao Xuexi, he is a little hesitant to talk to Peony.

He was still hesitating, so he listened to Peony say: "Jiang Ergong is very sympathetic to you." He said that Zhu Guogong insisted on screwing you and Xiao Xuexi together, which really hurt you. ”

Jiang Changyang remembered that day when she heard Liu Changcai say that sentence, she no longer ignored him, today she saw someone, and heard Jiang Er say this kind of thing, laughing on the surface, I don't know if I will be particularly angry in my heart, I can't help but say nervously: "Even if he dares to judge behind my back, I dare to find the Xiao family to retreat, you ......"

"I believe in you." Peony interrupted him and said with a smile: "Although I didn't listen to Jiang Ergong's words, I think he probably wants to cooperate with me, according to his imagination, my target should be you, and his target should be Xiao Xuexi." ”

Jiang Changyang was slightly stunned, and then chuckled: "It's okay now, I'm afraid that someone will come to the door to look for you in two days." Although the night was dark and he couldn't see Peony's expression clearly, he still stared at Peony carefully. She had already said that she was afraid of trouble, and now someone came to harass her, and I don't know if she will be annoyed?

Peony was silent for a moment and said in a low voice: "After I promised you that day, I was mentally prepared. What do you want me to do? ”

Jiang Changyang's heart warmed and said, "I don't want you to do anything." It's still the same, no matter what they say, don't respond, neither admit nor deny, just pretend to be confused, let's not use them as guns. Let them bounce around. He paused, "I don't see any strong men in your garden, can you buy one when you go back?" ”

Peony pursed her lips and smiled: "How much does it cost?" Is it expensive? I don't buy it if it's expensive. ”

Jiang Changyang sighed: "Why didn't I know that you were so stingy before, I'll post it upside down, can it." ”

Peony smiled lightly: "By the way, didn't you just say that you have something good to tell me?" What's good? ”

Jiang Changyang was silent for a moment, and said softly: "Do you remember that Monk Fuyuan once went on a long trip?" ”

Peony said: "I remember, I also gave him a coil." ”

Jiang Changyang smiled slightly: "That's right, he went out that time to help me capture a group of demon monks." ”

Peony's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked, "Is it Lu Hunshan's business?" "She had heard in those days that there was a group of demon monks in Luhun Mountain, who specialized in defrauding people of money and lives, and several people died. The case was a sensation at the time. She didn't know that Jiang Changyang had done it.

Jiang Changyang smiled slightly: "Exactly." ”

Peony could faintly feel his hidden pride, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said softly: "You never told me that you are so powerful." Now tell me about it, okay? ”

is a man, and they all hope that the woman they like thinks they are powerful, even Jiang Changyang is no exception. However, he was calm by nature, although he was very happy to hear Peony say this, but he still shirked: "There is nothing to say, anyway, it is not my credit alone, it is the credit of the big guy." ”

Peony Buyi: "Just tell me, how they cheated, I know their tricks, if I come to this kind of thing in the future, I can also have more eyes." ”

Jiang Changyang pursed his lips and said concisely: "They wore gold leaf robes and sat in the dark room, and from the outside, they looked golden and shining, saying that the Buddha's body was shining, and they burned a fire at the bottom of the cliff, and ordered people to wear gauze clothes and walk around on the cliff. After deceiving the believers to eat the fasting meal with the succumbing, and deceiving them to climb the cliff, the believers were delirious after taking the medicine, and when they saw the immortals on the opposite side flying, they also followed to fly, and after falling off the cliff, they fell into the fire at the bottom of the cliff, and they would die. Then they took the belongings of the believers. We found several charred corpses from the bottom of the cliff. ”

Peony was silent for a moment: "It's really too hateful." ”

Jiang Changyang nodded: "Yes, this time the case and the charges have all been clarified and determined, and the relevant personnel will be rewarded according to their merits, and I will also be rewarded......"
