Chapter 44: The Return
Two days later, there was a happy news from Qingfeng Temple, and the disgusting "distinguished guest" was finally leaving.
Because it was too unpopular, when they left, only the junior brother Si Yi went to see him off out of politeness, and their senior brother didn't show up at all. It's no wonder how much the senior brother doesn't like this son, and all the senior brothers can see it. It's just a pity for their "sister-in-law", hey! They also went along.
At the gate of Qingfeng Temple, Peony was busy with the little mud, and carried the packed things onto the carriage. Song Yuanxi recovered from a serious illness, lying in the carriage, and shouted lazily: "Little mud, come and rub my legs ......"
The little mud was busy.
Xia Taozhi stood at the door and talked to Si Yi.
"Senior sister...... Are you really leaving? Si Yi looked at her reluctantly.
Xia Taozhi smiled at him and said, "I'll be back." ”
"Really?!"
"Really."
He asked, "Then when will Senior Sister come back?" ”
Song Yuanxi in the carriage sneered in his heart, fifty years later......
Xia Taozhi said: "I'll come back when my senior sister finishes the matter." ”
Si Yi's eyes lit up, although he didn't know what the senior sister was going to do, but every time the senior brother went out to do something, he came back quickly. Come to think of it, things should be done quickly, so it's good that he will be able to see his senior sister again soon. When the senior sister comes back, the senior brother will not be so sad again. Thinking about it, his heart looked forward to it: "Senior sister's words count? ”
Xia Taozhi touched his head with a smile and said, "Of course it counts." ”
Song Yuanxi in the carriage sneered, turned over lazily, changed to a more comfortable position, and called the little mud: "Here, here, use some strength." Tsk, haven't you eaten? ”
Little mud said aggrievedly: "I didn't eat enough ......"
In this place, there is not a day of fullness! Even if the food is unpalatable, the portion is still small, it's just hateful!
Song Yuanxi glanced at him with disdain, this kid knows how to eat!
"Are you going back, rejoice?"
Little Mud immediately thought of the hibiscus cake made by Begonia, his eyes lit up, he swallowed his saliva and said, "Rejoice!" Very happy! ”
Song Yuanxi was also proud in his heart, "This king is also very happy." ”
Finally, the little peach was turned back.
Outside the carriage, Xia Taozhi didn't see Luo Fan's figure left and right, it was very strange, didn't the senior brother come to see her?
She asked Si Yi, "Why hasn't Senior Brother come yet?" ”
Si Yi replied: "Senior sister, senior brother went down the mountain early in the morning because of something, and he said that he couldn't come back to see you back, so ask me to give this to you." As he spoke, he took out a brocade box from his bosom and handed it to her.
Xia Taozhi opened it and saw that there was a whitening hosta lying in the brocade box, delicate and small, it was the one that "do not separate".
There was also a note on the side.
The above is the handwriting of the elder brother:
Pay more attention to everything, don't easily wade into danger, see hairpins like people, take care.
……
All kinds of feelings surged up in her heart, but she still pressed it down, put away the brocade box, and said to Si Yi: "Tell the senior brother for me, I know, let him not worry."
Si Yi nodded ignorantly, and said to her: "Senior sister, take care, come back early when you're done, we'll wait for you."
***
From Yuchuan Town to Chujing, it is a three-day drive.
In order not to be noticeable, Xia Taozhi changed into men's clothes and became a handsome son.
Chu Jingsheng rumored that Princess Ling had been ill for more than a few months, and King Ling sought medical advice everywhere for this reason, and wanted to treat the princess. If it is found that Princess Ling is with King Ling at this time, I am afraid that someone with a heart will make a fuss again.
In the evening of this day, they entered the boundary of Cloud City, and after passing Cloud City, there was Mibai Mountain. When you arrive at Mibai Mountain, it is equivalent to entering the realm of Chu Jing.
They found an inn in the city to stay at.
As soon as they entered the door, the shopkeeper greeted them, and saw that the two sons headed by them were all dressed in brocade and jade clothes, and their bearing was extraordinary, so they did not dare to slack off, and welcomed them in enthusiastically, and said: "A few guest officers, are you a top or a hotel?" ”
Peony said: "We live in a hotel, do you have a room?" ”
The shopkeeper nodded busily: "Yes, yes, I don't know how many guest officers want?" ”
Peony replied, "I'm tired of preparing three upper rooms for us." Her idea was that His Highness and Niangniang lived in one room, and she and Little Muddy lived next door, one on the left and one on the right, so that they could be at their disposal at any time.
The shopkeeper replied in a loud voice: "Gotcha! ”
Song Yuanxi turned his head and said, "I want three rooms, but don't connect them together, the farther away the better." He took Xia Taozhi's hand, and said to the shopkeeper with a smile: "I am in one room with this little brother, and you look at the rest of the arrangement...... "Stay away, stay away, the farther the better, don't hinder them from cultivating feelings!"
The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, the sky can see pity, he didn't look at the yellow calendar when he got up this morning, this is for him to meet two live broken sleeves?!
Xia Taozhi hurriedly broke free of her hand, rolled her eyes wildly in her heart, and said to the shopkeeper: "Two rooms are fine, a little farther away." She pulled the peony, "I live in one room with this beauty, and the two of them live in one room." The farther away the better......" he said, reaching out and touching Peony's face lightly.
Peony's face flushed with shame, and she felt that she was innocently implicated.
Shopkeeper 2: Who lives with whom in the ......?
In the end, Song Yuanxi lightly dropped a sentence: "Just do what I say!" He picked Xia Taozhi up horizontally and went upstairs. All the way, I only heard Xia Taozhi's struggle and angry scolding: "...... You pervert! Put me down! Put me down! ”
Everyone in the inn looked sideways.
Peony was extremely embarrassed, so she had to explain to the dumbfounded shopkeeper: "My family is ...... Childe, I prefer to ...... with the second son, in one place"
The shopkeeper laughed twice and said, "The little one understands, understands...... "The relationship between your family is really complicated......
It's night, the moon is in the sky, and the stars are dotted.
Suddenly there was an "ouch" sound in a certain room of the inn, and a person rolled off the bed, staring at the person who kicked him on the bed in disbelief, and complained: "Little Peach, you actually kicked your husband out of bed......"
This is the fifth time he has tried to climb the bed tonight and failed, he thought he would climb up this time, but he was kicked off. When he was the crown prince, Situ didn't know how many women lined up to climb into his bed, but they didn't have a chance. Now, I even have this day?
Xia Taozhi sat up and said unceremoniously: "If you are not honest, I will go sleep with Peony!" ”
He sighed, so depressed that he got up and slept honestly on the floor in the corner.
Xia Taozhi then lay back down, but she didn't feel sleepy after tossing and turning, and after a while, she sat up cautiously again and looked around. In the corner, the tsundere prince was also like her, looking around with his eyes open.
Outside the door, by the window, on the roof, there was the sound of rustling everywhere.
There were a lot of people who came, and there were at least seven or eight people listening to the voice, and their martial arts were not weak.
The tsundere prince beckoned to her in the corner, and she quietly got out of bed and hid beside him.
The door creaked open, and someone quietly entered the door and touched the side of the bed accurately. By the moonlight, Xia Taozhi saw that the people were all dressed in black, with black scarves covering their faces, and the long knives in their hands were shining with a cold light.
She looked at the tsundere, who shook his head at her and raised his hand to silence her.
I saw those people rushing to the bed at the same time, and several long knives pierced into the quilt at the same time.
Empty?!
Those few people had a bad heart, and quickly turned around, and found that there was a person standing silently behind them at some point, like a ghost, and the moonlight reflected in his eyes with a chilling killing intent, but there was a trace of contemptuous smile on his lips, which looked extremely weird.
Xia Taozhi hid in the corner, and saw the tsundere prince make a lightning move, and put down four people at once, all of them killed in one move. In the darkness, the "click" of a twisted neck could be heard clearly.
She felt that her neck was also hurting, and she couldn't help but be glad that at that time in Mibai Mountain, the tsundere prince did not directly kill her, otherwise her fate would probably be the same as these people. Thinking about it, I couldn't help but silently mourn for these people in my heart, if I met the King of Tomb himself, I might be able to save a living mouth for interrogation, but this person in front of me was a terrifying "Xuanjia God of War".
Your luck is really not good......
Killing four people in an instant, the tsundere prince hid back in the corner as if nothing had happened, and his breath did not fluctuate. He raised an eyebrow at her and said in her ear proudly, "...... Is it powerful for a husband? ”
She: "......"
At this time, four more people came in from outside the door and by the window, dressed in the same way as the previous four people, and their fate was also the same. was twisted by the tsundere prince three or two times.
The candles were lit, and eight corpses with broken necks were lying in the room, and the death was terrifying.
Although she is not Miss Jiao who is raised in the deep boudoir, and it is not that she has never seen a dead person, but it is the first time she has seen so many corpses, and she can't help but feel a little numb in her scalp.
"Don't you leave a living mouth to ask, who ordered them to assassinate you?"
"No, I know who it is."
"Huh?! You know?! Who is it?! ”
The tsundere prince sneered: "Who else can come up with such a bad trick to rob and kill me halfway, only Song Yuansheng is a fool." ”
Xia Taozhi couldn't help but be angry: "How dare he mess around, hasn't he learned enough lessons from the last star picking?" She said it unintentionally, but someone listened to it but was a little weak-hearted, and said vaguely: "Last time, Emperor Chu was furious and grounded Song Yuansheng in the East Palace for a month, Li Rong was also dismissed, and that Xuanyuan Geng is still in the prison at the moment, waiting to be released." ”
Xia Taozhi said hatefully: "Murdering the emperor's heir, just dismissal and grounding for a month? It's still too light. ”
Song Yuanxi felt a little strange in his heart, and somehow, he suddenly remembered what Luo Fan said to him when he came to him that night.
