Chapter 22: Temptation
The old man had already seen that the boy was going to the direction of the kitchen just now, and guessed that he was going to wash off the blood stains on his body, so he couldn't help but be a little worried: "Pavilion master, if it is cold today, it is not good to make a fire here, so let's change into clean clothes first, and then bathe after leaving Lingqiu." ”
"It's not in the way, it's not like I haven't had a cold spring in winter, this little bit of coldness is nothing." The boy looked indifferent.
When the old man saw that he insisted, he didn't say much, and wanted to help him prepare water, but the boy refused his kindness, "I'll come by myself, you go and make some arrangements, arrange the hidden stakes of Lingqiu, and go back to the Immortal Pavilion with me tonight." ”
"When I came out, I heard your little grandson mention you that the peach tree he planted had begun to bear fruit this year, but he did not allow others to pick it, saying that he would wait for his grandfather to go back and let him eat the first peach."
"It's a pity that I missed it this year, so in that case, let's wait until next year to pick it."
The boy's words were undoubtedly great news for the old man, who had indeed not seen his little grandson for several years.
At his age, who doesn't want to enjoy the joy of family and watch his children and grandchildren fall on his knees.
Hearing this, the old man was so excited that he wanted to kneel down to the boy, and was quickly helped up by the boy's eyes, "Don't be polite, go and come back quickly, so as not to cause any extraneous branches." ”
The old man responded gratefully and walked out quickly.
Although Jiang Xi is only a civil official from the fifth grade, he is the younger brother of Jiang Xian, the first assistant of the cabinet, this time he left Beijing, because the three-year examination period has arrived, and he came to Hunyuan Prefecture to assess the performance of local officials, he has a friend who lives in Lingqiu County, and has not met for many years, so he quietly came to Lingqiu to visit his friend, and then returned to Beijing to resume his life.
Jiang Xi had official business, and he didn't plan to make it public in private, so he came to Lingqiu secretly with only four entourages, and even the county magistrate of Lingqiu County didn't know his whereabouts, but he was inquired about by the spies of the Immortal Pavilion.
It just so happened that the boy also came to this neighborhood, and as soon as he heard the news, how could he let go of his brother-in-law who killed his father's enemy.
Jiang Xian, the first assistant of the cabinet, stayed in Yingtianfu all the year round, and it was not easy for the boy to enter Beijing to kill him, so he naturally had to get rid of Jiang Xian, who left Beijing.
The boy took two personal guards who grew up together, Pulsatilla and Yuebai, and killed Jiang Xi's friend's house, and the two little guards entangled Jiang Xi's friend's domestic servant, and he used a short knife hidden in his boots to cut Jiang Xi's head with one knife, and killed Jiang Xi's four domestic servants together, and Jiang Xi's friend was also so frightened that he fell into the lake and drowned alive.
After the boy killed someone, he and the two little guards fled separately, and then returned to this place to gather in the small courtyard.
Although the old man did not participate in their assassination, he knew that the boy was going to kill Jiang Xi, he was staying in the secret stake in Lingqiu, and the news of Jiang Xi's visit to Lingqiu was also when he talked to the spies below, and was inadvertently heard by the boy, so there would be this series of follow-ups.
Before the old man left the small courtyard, he glanced at Lu Yang, who was guarded by Pulsatilla and Yuebai under the corridor, and thought to himself: "Since this little girl knows about this, she must not be able to stay, and she must persuade the master to kill her." ”
Lu Yang didn't know that the old man had killed herself again and again, she was blindfolded by Pulsatilla with a black cloth at this time, and she couldn't guess what they were going to do to her, but she felt that they would not be unfavorable to her for the time being, according to the boy's skills, it was easy to kill herself, and she couldn't do all these useless fancy.
So what do they want to do? Why blindfolded yourself?
Not to mention Lu Yang's clouds.
Let's just say that this pulsatilla and Yuebai, after blindfolding Lu Yang's eyes, quietly restrained their voices, stood three steps away from Lu Yang, silently observed her, and when she gradually showed an impatient look, they suddenly flashed to her side and slapped her high fives in her ear.
As long as they are not deaf, they will inevitably react to this fastest - that is, subconsciously turn their faces sideways to look in the direction of high-fives, the more daring ones will look for who is to blame, and the more timid ones will shrink and scream to express their fear.
Whether you are timid or bold, you will definitely make the same action: look sideways at the direction where the sound is coming from.
But Lu Yang didn't, she was still standing there, the same as before, subconsciously looking left and right, turning her head very little, and her feet didn't move, she was still standing in place, she didn't give any response to their temptation.
"Could it be pretended?" Pulsatilla was not at ease, and He Yuebai whispered: "Didn't the master say that she was good at light work?" A deaf and dumb little girl, how can she learn light skills? Can she understand? ”
Yuebai didn't understand either, and shook her head.
Pulsatilla was unconvinced: "Try again, I won't believe it, how long can she pretend in front of me." ”
In the following time, Pulsatilla tried Lu Yang several more times.
There were surprise attacks, and there were also strips of black cloth that covered Lu Yang's eyes, verbal intimidation of her, and threats with weapons.
Before he could come up with another plan, Lu Yang, who sensed their intentions, kindly scratched a few words on the ground with his toes: "Is it fun?" Don't waste your efforts, if you have any doubts, you can ask me directly. ”
Pulsatilla was shocked: "This little girl has become a sperm!" ”
"What's going on?"
The person who answered his words was not Yuebai, but the boy who had already finished bathing in cold water.
Because he was about to leave, the boy did not wash his hair, but just cleaned the blood stains on his body, changed into an ordinary cyan arrow suit, and still wore the leather belt around his waist.
Pulsatilla saw the boy, scratched his head, and there was a little shame on his face, "Master, my subordinates have tried for a long time, and it is true that as the master said, she is not only a mute, but also a deaf person who can't hear anything. ”
"I see." The boy said, "You go and clean up, erase the traces of our visit, and leave overnight when Elder Wei returns." ”
Elder Wei is the old man who is just now.
Pulsatilla and Yuebai retreated, and the boy tilted his head at Lu Yang, motioning for her to follow him.
Lu Yang is a person who knows the current affairs very well, and now that he is still in the hands of the boy, she has to listen to the boy.
She followed the boy into the main house, and when she reached the west room, the boy casually closed the small door connecting the west room to the main house.
The room was suddenly pitch black, and no moonlight could penetrate at all.
Just when Lu Yang secretly wondered if the boy had something to ask him, an extremely soft blue light suddenly appeared, imprinting her and the boy's figures extremely clearly.
Only then did she see that the boy had a small box in his right hand, and the blue light was emitted from a jade stone in the box.
