Chapter 81: The Unexpected (Part II)

Sent Mrs. Gu away, the time is not early, I will have to comb my hair early tomorrow morning, Xinghong made a bed for Gu Xiyan and Huilan returned to the room where they lived.

Duan Yingluo was dressed in pale yellow obscene clothes, closed her eyes and meditated cross-legged on the small couch.

This is a compulsory lesson for her every day, and it is said to clear her mind.

Gu Xiyan looked at Duan Yingluo's peaceful and quiet expression, and couldn't help but think of Guanyin's flower statue.

Wang Guowei once said that there are three realms of learning, and the last layer is "looking for him thousands of times in the crowd, and when I look back, the person is there, and the lights are dim."

Gu Xiyan felt that Duan Yingluo seemed to have reached this realm, handling things calmly, giving people a sense of calmness.

She was looking at Duan Yingluo and sighed, and Duan Yingluo suddenly opened her eyes. Her gaze was calm and calm, and she smiled: "Are you worried about tomorrow?" ”

It's a little worried!

Gu Xiyan nodded.

Duan Yingluo smiled: "Success is in people, and planning is in heaven!" ”

Gu Xiyan sighed helplessly: "It's a big deal, tomorrow we will go out of the city with a sword." ”

Duan Yingluo laughed, revealing snow-white and neat teeth: "Do you think that Shengjing's Yulin Army, Praetorian Guard, and Jinwu Army are all idle meals?" ”

Gu Xiyan couldn't help muttering in her heart: Then why did you let Qi Maosheng get involved?

Duan Yingluo seemed to see her thoughts, and her expression was gloomy: "Seven elders of Yunze, thirteen swords of Lianyun, and two swords of willow leaves...... Many people haven't been able to go back to Yandi! ”

Gu Xiyan was moved.

Duan Yingluo's eyebrows gradually became a little affectionate: "Those who have already made a name for themselves in the rivers and lakes are okay." Those who have not yet left the school, who have lost the protection of their elders, will mostly become robbers or thieves......"

Is this blaming Qi Maosheng?

Gu Xiyan pursed his lips and said, "They can enlist in the army!" There is a body of kung fu. Wouldn't serving in the army give full play to your strengths......"

Duan Yingluo smiled and looked at Gu Xiyan for a long time.

Although she could feel that there was no malice, Gu Xiyan was still a little uncomfortable with her, and said, "Did I say something wrong?" ”

Duan Yingluo shook her head with a smile: "No." You're not wrong. ”

She looked at Gu Xiyan's pure face like a lotus, and smiled indifferently: "Girl, let's rest early." Out of the house, there is no such convenience outside. ”

Gu Xiyan also felt that this topic was not suitable to go on, so she pulled a thin clip on her body and smiled: "Good night!" ”

Duan Yingluo smiled and nodded.

Gu Xiyan rolled over, and his breathing slowly became steady.

Duan Yingluo looked at the graceful body in the Qingsha tent and slowly closed her eyes. +++ Junzitang first +++

Gu Er girl. You're not wrong. That's why I'm here to protect your safety, and use your safety to exchange for the future of our Shura Sect for five hundred. If things are really bad enough to keep you out of town with a sword, I'll do it too......

Duan Yingluo slowly calmed down the distracting thoughts in his heart and quietly waited for tomorrow to come!

The moonlight rose little by little, and the garden was shrouded in silver. From the outer courtyard on the east side, there was a noisy laughter with a silk bamboo string orchestra guessing the fist, which set off the tranquility of this small corner of the inner courtyard.

Duan Yingluo, who was smiling like a Guanyin flower, suddenly opened her eyes, and her black and white eyes were as sharp as an eagle.

She heard the familiar slight trampling sound.

Only those who have practiced light skills can have such light steps.

The people around Gu Xiyan all know Duan Yingluo, and no one has such skills.

The voice approached and stopped outside the door.

Duan Yingluo didn't dare to be careless, and gently pulled a sweat towel from her waist.

The silver-red sweat towel reflects the colorful needles like jewels in the moonlight.

The visitor hesitated for a moment, and the footsteps gradually turned in one direction, and walked towards the east wing.

There lived Whelan and Apricot Red.

Duan Yingluo glanced at Gu Xiyan hesitantly.

The moon is like practice. The corners of Gu Xiyan's mouth were slightly upturned, and he was sleeping soundly, and his pure white face was as sweet and pure as an epiphany that bloomed quietly at midnight.

There was a soft knock on the door from the east wing, and a woman's voice was sandwiched: "Huilan, open the door quickly." ”

Soon, there was a creeping sound from the side of the east wing.

The voice was slight, though. But listening to it is in the ears of such a master as Duan Yingluo. But it's clear.

Duan Yingluo pricked up his ears.

When the door of the east wing room squeaked open, Duan Yingluo also took advantage of this sound to open the window lattice.

There was no light in the east wing. Taking advantage of the moonlight, she saw a black figure quickly flash into the east wing.

Tomorrow is the day of Whelan's marriage, and things are too sudden and weird.

Duan Yingluo did not hesitate, her body was as light as a swallow, and she leaned against the skirt of the wall of the east wing. She was facing sideways, and under the bright moonlight, she could see through the wide open window lattice, and she could clearly see the movement in Gu Xiyan's house.

She exhaled softly, adjusting her six breaths.

The conversation of the people in the house is all in the ears.

I only heard Whelan say: "...... Auntie, I know I'm sorry for your teaching, but for the sake of ten years of education, please rely on Whelan this time, right? ”

There was a crisp female voice that said: "Huilan, do you know that if something happens, they can blame everything on you, saying that the second girl of the Gu family is young and ignorant, all because she was bewitched by you......"

"I know, I know. But if I gave up this opportunity, I would never be able to live the life I wanted to live. Whelan choked up, "Others don't know me, don't you even know me, aunt?" I followed my aunt all the way from Longzuo to Shengjing, and I don't know how many human tragedies I have seen. I still remember very clearly, that year we were selling because we didn't even have to eat the leaves in the soil. The mother killed her daughter with her own hands and stewed a pot of soup for her husband and son...... Auntie, I don't want the day when my children will suffer such a fate, and I will do the same thing...... Aunt. I beg you, I beg you......"

There was a thumping kowtow in the room.

"Hey!" A long sigh, "Get up!" ”

The kowtow was gone.

"I can't help you with anything." There was a stunned look in the crisp female voice, "Go by yourself in the future, I just hope you don't regret it!" ”

"Auntie," Whelan shouted excitedly, "As long as Auntie knows, I won't be afraid of anyone pointing at my backbone in the future......"

The person who was called the aunt by Whelan sighed again, and the room fell into a brief silence.

As long as it doesn't affect tomorrow's schedule. Don't really want her to go out of Beijing with a sword, Duan Yingluo doesn't want to meddle in things.

She was about to leave, but she heard Huilan say: "Auntie, I have carefully checked Gu Xiyan, and there is no book you said by her side." ”

Duan Yingluo was stunned. Listen with bated breath to the conversation in the room.

"Are you sure?" Whelan's aunt said in a deep voice, "Have you inquired about her tone?" ”

"I've inquired." Whelan said with disdain, "It's like she didn't even know there was such a thing. Whether it is literary talent and knowledge, there is a world of difference compared to Miss Gu! ”

"That book is neither in Rongyuezhai nor in the palace," Huilan's aunt muttered, "Could it be that it is not by the side of Miss Gu?" ”

Huilan said: "Auntie, I found out about something and I think it's a little strange. ”

"Hurry up!" Whelan's aunt said eagerly.

"In February this year, two people named Guiguan and a hundred years of land in Rongyuezhai disappeared, and Master Gu also killed another Xiaowu named Shuxiang in Rongyuezhai for this matter. At that time, Master Gu not only sent a nursing home to find it. also paid 20,000 taels of silver from the account, I heard that it was given to Sheng Jing a gang, so that people on the rivers and lakes came forward to find these two little guys...... In previous years, there were often people who fled, and people who were often killed, but there was never such a thing. Look at it. Will...... Something to do with that book! ”

There was silence in the room again.

In the opposite room with the latticework wide open. Gu Xiyan turned over and sat up suddenly. His face was full of horror, as if he was frightened by something.

Duan Yingluo could see clearly through the moonlight, and his heart was anxious.

I wonder if the woman who spoke to Whelan had any companions?

He is now more than 20 zhang away from Gu Xiyan, if Gu Xiyan makes any noise to attract their attention and something happens now, he is too far away!

Duan Yingluo adjusted his internal breath, and his luck dantian shot into the room like an electric switch, so much so that Gu Xiyan, who was awakened by a nightmare, was so frightened that he stayed there. Seeing this, Duan Yingluo shook his finger in the air, and Gu Xiyan felt a tingling on the side of his neck. She couldn't help but smile bitterly, it seems that this Duan Yingluo's kung fu is indeed much higher than Ding Cuiniang's, thinking that when Ding Cuiniang ordered her, she pressed it with her fingers......

Duan Yingluo saw that Gu Xi's face had regained its calmness, and she shook her finger in the air again.

Gu Xiyan winked at her and was about to speak, but Duan Yingluo put her index finger in her lips and made a silence, and Gu Xiyan looked at her inexplicably.

After all, this is a family matter of the Gu family, so let Gu Xiyan solve it by herself.

Duan Yingluo hesitated slightly, and whispered in Gu Xiyan's ear.

Gu Xiyan showed a look of surprise.

Sister-in-law? Could it be Cui Baoyi? I really can't see that she has such a high level of kung fu that she can enter and exit freely in the Forbidden City, the curfew ground? When you are looking for a book, what kind of book are you looking for? Why don't you come early or late, but tomorrow when Huilan will marry into Zuofu on her behalf?

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but look at the open window lattice suspiciously.

Will tomorrow's schedule change as a result?

She was feeling uneasy, but Duan Yingluo pounced violently, leaning against her and pressing her to the bed.

Gu Xiyan was startled, and was about to ask why, but she saw and felt Duan Yingluo's body stiff due to nervousness, she couldn't help but look at Duan Yingluo's face, but saw her eyes looking out sharply, Gu Xiyan turned her head slightly and looked at Duan Yingluo's gaze.

Through the wide open window lattice, Gu Xiyan saw a woman walking out of the east wing.

Her body was slender and slender, and the alloy scabbard sheath exposed from her shoulders glowed coldly in the moonlight.

Gu Xiyan's head buzzed, and long-term memories came to mind.

It's her, it's her, the woman who rummaged things in Rongyue Zhai on a stormy night two years ago!

The shadow of the eaves cast half-light and half-darkness on her face, her snow-white jaw, and her lips as bright and plump as flower petals.

Gu Xiyan was convinced.

She's Cui Baoyi!

Since the person who turned things over was Cui Baoyi, who was the person who stopped her?
