Chapter Ninety-Five: The Secret Letter
The New Year here in Yunzhou City is very lively, Song Yao does not have a master's shelf, and he fights with the people below, which is very warm, and it also makes people from Qinghai and other secret guards feel warm, and even Song Zhiyuan is happy in it.
Only Red Sleeves, who experienced the pain of losing her mother, smiled a little sadly, but the day she decided to follow Song Yao, she could never go home again, and her experience was not worthy of returning home.
Although Song Yao noticed the abnormality of the red sleeves, she knew that some things could only be done by the parties themselves, and bystanders could not pull people out of their grief.
Here in the capital, the New Year is nothing special, and he does things according to the rules as before, Helian Sheng couldn't help but look into the distance, imagining what Song Yao was doing in the New Year, and his heart had already flown to Yunzhou Mansion.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, there is a custom of watching lanterns and guessing lantern riddles all over the country, and Song Yao does not plan to miss it.
When she first crossed over, Song Yao had difficulty even filling her stomach, but she still guessed the lantern riddle and earned some silver, and the mother and son lived a few days of food and clothing, and this experience also made Song Yao look at the Lantern Festival very seriously.
"Yuanbao, put on the little hat made by your mother, and don't forget to wear gloves." Song Yao, who was playing in the mirror hairpin, shouted at his son who was playing in the flower hall with a loud voice, and did not forget to explain a few words to Yinzi, "Yinzi, you also wear thicker, hold the ingots for a while, and you must follow your two martial arts masters." ”
"Mother, don't worry, the ingots have already been dressed, just wait for your mother to go out." Song Yuanbao replied and continued to play with the small wooden sword in his hand.
"The silver remembered." Yinzi replied and made a gesture with Song Yuanbao.
The relaxation during the Chinese New Year has made Yinzi also find a bit of childlike fun, and he is no longer so old.
"Madam, there is a little beggar at the door who has sent a letter, so that you must take a look at it before Madame goes out." Outside, he stretched out his red sleeves on matters of going out, walked quickly to the inner room, and handed Song Yao an unsigned letter.
"Could it be that someone has a crush on Mrs. Ben and wants to send a love letter?" Song Yao was in a good mood, so she made a joke.
"Madame is so outstanding, it is only right to have a man's admiration, I am afraid that it is true, even the son has to knock over the vinegar jar." The red sleeves stood beside Song Yao, matching her with a headdress.
Song Yao chuckled, and after making up for Helian Sheng's delicious appearance, he opened the letter and read it, but his face gradually sank.
Red Sleeves found that Song Yao's expression was wrong, and after putting on a hairpin for Song Yao, he asked, "Madam, what's wrong?" ”
"Red sleeves, go and call the two brothers Qingshan and Qinghai to come in." After Song Yao finished speaking, he added: "Please also invite Uncle Cheng to come in, I have something important to say." ”
"Yes." Seeing Song Yao's solemn expression, Red Sleeves hurriedly went to find someone.
After a while, Uncle Cheng and the three of them came into the door, and Qinghai also put away his smiling face.
"Red sleeves, you take the ingots and silver to the yard to play for a while, and we will go out soon." Song Yao commanded.
"Yes." Red Sleeves took the order and hurriedly turned around and left.
Song Yao handed the letter to Qinghai, who was closest to her, and said, "You all take a look." ”
After reading it, the faces of the three of them in Qinghai sank, and even Uncle Cheng had a slight change in his expression.
"Who is this Hong Qi? You might be able to beat him? When Song Yao saw the looks of several people, he knew that Hong Qi was not an easy character to deal with.
"The killer of the rivers and lakes has been firmly in the first place for many years, and his subordinates and others have never fought against him, but they know that Hong Qi has never missed since his debut." Qinghai straightened his posture and frowned: "It is rumored in the rivers and lakes that Hong Qi has his own rules in one direction, and he will never attack the old and weak women and children, unless he is a person with a loss of virtue. And Hong Qi's worth has always been 100,000 taels, and if the assassin is valuable or has strong martial arts, the price will be doubled. And Hong Qi also threatened that if the mission failed, he would unconditionally do something for the assassination target for one year, but he would never betray his employer, and at the end of the one-year period, he would continue to carry out the assassination mission. ”
"So, I'm a moral deficit?" Song Yao sneered, glanced at the letter with a cold look, and asked, "Tell me the truth, are you sure to protect our mother and son and take down Hong Qi?" I'm going to live. ”
"Madame wants to take Hong Qi for her own use?" Qinghai asked in surprise.
"Why not?" Song Yao chuckled: "Since he is the number one killer in the rivers and lakes, he has his advantages, I will never waste this year's time, if it can't be used by me after the expiration of the period, it will not be too late to remove it." ”
"I'm afraid it's not as easy as Madame thinks, after all, this is just a rumor, no one has definite evidence, what if it's just a rumor?" Qinghai asked worriedly.
"If you can catch him, I will naturally have a way to tame him!" Song Yao moved his finger and said: "Now is the time to employ people, let's not say who wants my life, with this Hong Qi here, the rest of the killers will also weigh whether they dare to kill me." Besides, Hong Qi's death in my hands is also a deterrent to others, so that we can be at peace for a while. ”
"The safety of the little master, Madame, don't worry, I will protect you." Uncle Cheng said on the side.
"In this way, there will be Uncle Lao Cheng." Seeing Uncle Cheng's confident opening, Song Yao nodded in thanks, and believed that Uncle Cheng could do it.
"Madame insists on this, the two of us will protect Madame closely, and Hong Qi will be the one who will leave Gongzi Lian behind." Qinghai betrayed his companions very unkindly, and he didn't feel ashamed at all.
Aoyama glanced at his brother and didn't say anything, but he agreed with him.
Protecting Song Yao is their brother's mission, and they are now in the bright place, so it is not suitable to expose their martial arts path.
Uncle Cheng has always been silent, and when he saw that things had been arranged, he got up and left.
"Tell Lian Sheng's people, take the guy's business, what I want is the result, they just need to fight quickly, there is no need to compete in force, try not to hurt the innocent, and don't damage their own people." The corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile, Song Yao winked at Qinghai and said, "When you used to run darts, you should have a lot of means to control the enemy, right?" At this time, there is no need to be stingy, when Hong Qi is paid, you can talk to him at any time, and Mrs. Ben will never stop you. ”
"Thank you, madam, my subordinates will arrange it." Qinghai happily responded and competed with the number one killer in the rivers and lakes, which is what people who practice martial arts dream of, especially when they can ensure their own safety, it is even more unwanted.
After arranging everything, Song Yao went out according to the plan, if it weren't for knowing that someone was protecting them all the time in the shadows, Song Yao really wouldn't have noticed that she was being watched.
Yunzhou City is a rich place, and the Lantern Festival is naturally very lively.
The entire three main streets are the main battlefields of the Lantern Festival, and pedestrians on the streets pass one after another, almost breaking up Song Yao's family several times.
"Smash, do you want to guess the lantern? Lainiang is in a good mood today, you can guess a few to have fun. Song Yao said with great interest.
"My mother is the best, I want to choose it carefully and see who gives the most silver." Song Yuanbao puffed up his little hand.
There are many rich people in Yunzhou City, and the rewards of lanterns are naturally much richer, and Song Yuanbao, a fan of small wealth, does not want to miss it.
Qinghai grinned on the side, knowing that he was the target of the first killer, and he had to attract the attention of the killer in a big battle, it is estimated that except for Song Yao, there is no woman in the world who has such courage, no wonder the master will like it.
However, although Qinghai was slanderous, he did not dare to relax his vigilance, in case Song Yao was injured, he didn't know how he died.
