Chapter 194: Crooked Strikes
"Didn't she have any doubts?"
"She was naturally suspicious, but for the sake of Mo Yi, even if she knew it was a trap, she would still come." Feng Wumian said quietly, "That's why she handed over these two things to Shen Peifeng for safekeeping, it seems that she is ready to break the kettle this time." ”
"You mean she is desperate to rescue the second son?"
That's right, but what she didn't expect was that Shen Peifeng was Feng Wumian, and Feng Wumian was actually Shen Peifeng. After all, I lied to her after all......"
"Childe, you don't even know your identity as the second son, why do you say this word 'deception'?"
"Uncle Lu, you don't have to comfort me, I know what you're worried about, but I won't be soft-hearted, I won't regret it, and I won't give up this plan. The plan is in people, and the success is in heaven, and the fate between me and her will be decided by heaven. ”
"Childe, do you need me to do anything?" When Lu Weihe heard this, he calmed down.
Feng Wumian has not been close to women all these years, and there is not even a maid by his side, and the last thing that the old city lord can't let go of when he is dying is Feng Wumian's lifelong event. It's hard to have a woman who can make Childe's heart move, and he finally has an explanation to the old city lord.
"She's not an ordinary woman, she's as wise as a torch, and I can't hide her forever. But as suspicious as she was, I wouldn't admit it until I didn't see my true face. Therefore, my face is going to trouble Uncle Lu. ”
"Don't worry, Childe, I won't let her find out that you're wearing a human skin mask."
"I naturally trust Uncle Lu's craftsmanship." Shen Peifeng slowly stood up, walked to the door, raised his head slightly, and fixed his eyes on the sky outside the hall, "From today on, in front of her, I'm just sleepless ...... wind"
Outside the gate.
One after another women were eliminated, which made Shangguan Jiyue's eyebrows twist slightly, she wouldn't even be able to enter this city lord's mansion, right? Isn't it just to choose a few maids and make it as interesting as a beauty pageant?
At this moment, I only heard a commotion in front of me, and someone said: "Look, General Lu is out!" ”
"That's right! It's really General Lu! ”
"General Lu is here, there must be some order from the city lord for him to convey ......"
When Shangguan Jiyue heard this, she looked forward from the gap in the crowd silently, and really saw a mighty general in military uniform standing in front of the mansion gate, he was about forty years old, with sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, a burly posture, and a sword at his waist, and his eyes were sweeping towards everyone present.
Shangguan Jiyue and his gazes intertwined in the air, and after a slight collision, they quickly slashed away and lowered their eyes. With just one glance, she concluded in her heart that this person is definitely brave and strategic, and should not be underestimated!
Lu Weihe was also secretly shocked.
This woman's eyes are as deep as a pool, bottomless, although she is dressed in plain clothes, and the fat powder is not applied, but her face is clear and beautiful, and her body is clear and cold and her temperament is difficult to hide, just like the white plum in the winter and open in the snow, and it is eye-catching among the warblers and swallows.
The first female general of Beicang really lives up to her reputation! Such a frosty woman, no wonder the son will have a deep love for her. When I saw it today, it was really the best match for the son.
Shangguan Jiyue was stunned for a moment, and then heard the female steward of the City Lord's Mansion shouting loudly at them: "Be quiet, be quiet!" Now there's important news to announce! ”
The steward's shout, just now whispering, the noisy scene immediately became silent, and the girls stretched their necks to look at the steward one by one, for fear of missing something.
At this time, the female steward said word by word: "General Lu came to pass the word, saying that the city lord has an order, anyone under the age of sixteen and over the age of eighteen will be disqualified, those who can't serve tea and pour water will be disqualified, those who are born in a wealthy family will be disqualified, and those who are not elderly will be disqualified......"
After the steward's words, the long line was shortened by two-thirds at once, amid the woman's cries.
Among the disqualified women, there were a few women in front of her, and the woman with a thick layer of white powder on her face heard that her quota was cancelled, and immediately howled and cried, and put on a makeup face, and the ghost-like appearance of the woman was simply miserable.
Such a horror made the corners of Shangguan Jiyue's lips twitch fiercely.
The remaining one-third of the women were selected by the government at the end of the day, and there were only a few left, and there were only about ten women, including Shangguan Jiyue.
The housekeeper arranged them in the wing room of the west courtyard, and then left after each of them had a separate room, saying that it was getting late, and the girls were tired, and they would divide the work when the city lord saw it in person tomorrow.
Shangguan Jiyue doesn't care, anyway, she didn't really come to be a maid, but even a maid can have her own independent room, which she didn't expect. But it also suited her heart, and it was much more convenient to move at night.
After dinner and a simple wash, Shangguan Jiyue went to bed to rest. Lying on the bed, Shangguan Jiyue carefully recalled every place she had passed through the City Lord's Mansion, and secretly guessed where Mo Yi would be kept.
The day after tomorrow, this Feng Wumian is about to get married, and she must find out where Mo Yi was locked up in advance, so that she can take advantage of the chaos to rescue him on the day of the wedding.
As the night deepened, the lively city lord's mansion became quiet at night, and the snoring began in the various rooms, except for the sound of the drums of the grooming and the footsteps of the occasional patrolling guards.
After three drums, Shangguan Jiyue suddenly opened her eyes in the dark.
She quietly got out of bed, walked lightly to the door, listened intently for a while, and then carefully opened a crack in the door and flashed out of the room.
As soon as she slipped out of the west courtyard, she saw two men dressed as guards walking under the corridor in front of her, one of them holding a tray and the other holding a wine jug, muttering something.
I only heard one of the taller lean men sigh first, and then said indignantly: "Alas! I really don't know what the city lord thinks, a prisoner, why treat him so well?! ”
The slightly shorter guard took over the conversation and said fiercely, "That's it! That kid scolds people every day when he is full, sleeps when he is tired, and then wakes up and eats, and then scolds, you see these three watches in the middle of the night yelling that he wants to drink wine and eat meat when he is hungry, so that the two of us have to go to the kitchen to find something for him to eat, I really can't stand it! ”
"What can be done! The city lord personally explained, as long as he couldn't escape, the rest was left to him. It's just that I pity the two of us, since guarding that kid, I haven't even slept all night. I listened to him roar there every day, and the more he roared at night, the happier he became, what a night cat! ”
The man yawned as he spoke, looking listless.
"The city lord is so different from him, what do you say this kid is coming from?"
"I heard that he is a school captain, and he is still a rich boy. Specifically, where do we dare to ask? ”
"Alas! I don't know when this day will be the leader, if I continue to be tossed by him like this, I can't stand it! As he spoke, the man couldn't help but feel sleepy and yawned again.
