Chapter 50: A Confession
Under the fireworks, there is a group of panicked people.
At first, the guards guarding the gate reacted and divided two of them to try to put out the fire, while the other ran straight to the inner city. Chu Bai's heart moved, and he was about to chase after him, but when he raised his legs, he turned around and glanced at the stars.
Xingchen waved his hand.
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'll hide."
Chu Baishang was a little worried, thought about it again, and quietly followed the guard's footsteps.
After Chu Bai left, Xingchen looked left and right, and felt that his hiding position was acceptable, so he didn't have a place to stack it, and continued to stare at the person coming at the door. Because the wine was flammable, and the fire was so fierce that it was not at all something that the guards could extinguish with one or two basins of water. The wind turned southward, and after a while, there was a faint momentum that affected the other courtyard.
The stars are in their eyes, and they are anxious in their hearts. If because of her idea, innocent people are hurt. Then she really shouldn't die......
It's just that at the moment, there's nothing you can do. She alone can't change anything.
Unless......
You can bring in a lot of people. But where are there so many people in the middle of the night? Xingchen sighed, but he couldn't help but worry in his heart.
"Why didn't you think of this beforehand?" In great frustration, she tore off a dry branch.
"Because you're stupid."
A familiar voice came from behind him.
Xingchen turned around, and Feng Mian stood behind her, still dressed in black, but with a little more dust at this time.
Along with him, there was also a group of people dressed in official mansions. The lake green regular service should be the criminal servant of the government office. These officers were more or less skilled and trained, and soon formed a team of several people to relay water.
Others went to the courtyard to the south to knock on the door and pass on the news of the water.
All this was done in an orderly manner, as if it had been rehearsed a long time ago.
Xingchen didn't know how to describe his mood at the moment. Glad is rejoicing, but depressed is also depressed.
She grabbed Feng Mian and motioned for him to squat.
Feng Mian has always been willing to obey other people's wishes, so naturally he didn't say anything, so he squatted beside her.
"Why the hell are you pretending to be stupid, just pretending to be stupid, what's going on with this group of people?"
He always hid something from her, both before and now.
This made her very unhappy.
Fortunately, Fengmian had a good attitude, smiled lightly, and answered her question: "The purpose of pretending to be stupid, in addition to the one I told you before, there is another reason, which is the same as you did this thing." As for those yamen officers, it was because I had a good relationship with Xinzhou County, and when I said that this was the house of my very important friend, I was exempted from the process and sent troops directly. ”
“……”
Xingchen nodded. Then he glanced at Feng Mian angrily, and wanted to scold in his heart, so he scolded on his lips. "Why didn't you tell me beforehand, why didn't you consult me about anything, Lady Fengmian, I want to know what kind of existence I am in your eyes, a pity for a lost outcast, or a poor man who has abandoned his family and business? Or is it nothing, just that you are naturally noble and helpful? ”
After she finished speaking, she sighed softly. Just as he was about to see Feng Mian's reaction, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Chu Bai quickly skimming over, holding a long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Feng Mian coming towards the wind.
"It's a friend." Xingchen hurriedly said to him.
Chu Bai frowned and pointed at Feng Mian: "You went to the Chu family with Ling Chang a few days ago, right?" ”
Feng Mian, who was pointed at by him, didn't speak for a long time, only froze in place, as if trying to think about something. Xingchen frowned, and simply set his eyes on Chu Bai.
Chu Bai found a place for himself to squat down, and opened his mouth to report the harvest of this operation to Xingchen: "The guard is looking for the third son of the Wang family, Wang Chenghuai. ”
Xingchen frowned. She doesn't know this person.
Feng Mian, who had been silent and stunned, suddenly interjected: "Wang Cheng has talent and courage, but unfortunately, he was born to a concubine, if he wants to inherit the Wang family's family business justifiably, he must not use some means." ”
Chu Bai retorted: "Brother Chenghuai, poetry, books and etiquette are all commodities, and he has always been kind to people, he shouldn't do such a thing, will it be ......?"
He didn't finish his sentence, but he didn't know how to continue, whether he was framed, but who would have expected him to follow the guard. Obviously, he himself can overturn his own words.
It's just that he doesn't want to believe it.
Xingchen nodded.
"I understand your feelings, I've often been like this before, obviously looking like a good person, but behind the scenes, I always like to do sad things. This kind of person, there is no way. If you encounter it, you can only bear it. If you meet a few more, you may be able to exercise a good vision. ”
She glanced at Feng Mian.
"Like some people, you think he has been with you through many important moments, but in fact, maybe it was just a coincidence."
After speaking, she smiled again, her smile was a little dim, she couldn't see through him, she couldn't see through it before, and she couldn't see through it now.
Feng Mian's eyes flashed but he didn't raise his eyes, but he just said in a deep voice: "It's a coincidence, but it's not a coincidence, if it's not a coincidence, then I'll say it again." I like you, I don't know what I like about you, but I know that I just like you. Because I like it, I will do something that I think is childish to speculate and measure your mind. He chuckled under his breath.
"Because I like it, I don't like me before, I hide panic in my heart, and I do things more reservedly. I want your answer, not what is like a dream, but whether you like it or not. ”
His words, word by word, were said slowly, and every word made people feel more affectionate than a thousand catties. But what about her, if her past is not completely cut off for some reason, her heart for him is somewhat dependent and some is love.
She didn't know.
She really had no way of knowing.
But...... The feeling of being said to like it, it seems to be ...... It's very gratifying.
She mustered up the courage to look up at Feng Mian, the young man lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembled slightly, his facial features were handsome but not soft, and his long inky hair was raised high. Under the moonlight, the original elegance became more and more obvious.
That's the kind of person you have.
He said he liked it.
It is different from the flattering likes of those male pets in the past, and it is also different from the warm and clean breath of that person. He said he liked it, and it was simple and straightforward. But it was a touching phrase that she had heard that was unforgettable.
"I'll think about it seriously and give you an answer after a while, okay?" Xingchen replied solemnly.
Feng Mian looked up, a little confused.
"What do you mean, think about it?"
Behind him, Chu Bai slapped Feng Mian on the shoulder: "Naturally, I asked you to put more thought into it, but you are stupid enough." ”
Xingchen burst out laughing, who would have thought that one day, she would also hear others use the word "stupid" to describe Fengmian.
The person who was described was still a little confused, but when he saw Xingchen smiling happily, his mood also improved. Then he pondered Chu Bai's words and Xingchen's reaction in his heart. A little skeptical: "How do you call it more thoughtful?" ”
Chu Bai sighed and shook his head: "What kind of drinking under the moon, enjoying the flower pond alone, huh...... The lantern festival or something, all over again. ”
Feng Mian couldn't understand a word of what he said.
Chu Bai slapped his thigh: "This brother, are you stupid?" ”
Fengmian darkened his face and turned his head to look at him.
That look made Chu Bai excited, and the mocking words that were about to come out were all stuffed back into his mouth by him. Instead, he said what he thought was a very appropriate description: "Little girl, this is shy." ”
