123 There is news
The name of 'Bu Yi' is indeed a big crime, but Chen Xiansong doesn't understand these rules that are somewhat incomprehensible to him, and even if he knows the Tao, he doesn't have any special thoughts, in comparison, he is more worried about Catherine's body. **Free book TXT e-book download**
Last night it was dark, and he had only seen Catherine's state a rough idea, but now he could see it clearly. The miserable blue skin brought about by the long-term illness, the sunken eye sockets, the mouth without the slightest blood, and a pair of sallow and skinny palms. In Chen Xiansong's opinion, such a physical condition is not far from death, but Catherine is still strong enough to receive guests, and Chen Xiansong doesn't know whether to say that she is too persistent in etiquette or too stupid.
"Frances is now my student." Chen Xiansong paused for a moment and continued: "But there is also a condition. ”
Hearing this, Catherine's heart was shocked. 'Condition'! Now she is most afraid of hearing this word, if in the past when the Lency family still had some capital, everything could be summed up, but now the situation in the family, there are only a few gold coins left, if it is just for money, it is easy to do, it is a big deal to sell the house and furniture, gritting her teeth and making a sum of money, but even if she has not been out of the house for more than ten years, Catherine also understands that the soul contemplative is never short of money.
Men are interested in only three things, power, money, and beauty. The soul-contemplating can easily get the first two, as for beauty...... Catherine looked at Bai Min who was standing next to Chen Xiansong, and felt powerless, she was originally a big beauty, otherwise she would not have been able to give birth to a little beautiful embryo like Frances, but compared with the nvxìng sun god servant, she had no advantage at all.
She couldn't think of anything in her home worthy of a soul-contemplative coveting, her mouth moved a few times, and Catherine said weakly: "Your Excellency, if there are any conditions, please just say, if we can do it, we will try to meet your requirements, if it is something we don't have, I hope to have some grace, and we will try to do it for you." ”
Listening to the other party's extremely unconfident words, Chen Xiansong smiled and said: "Actually, it's not a difficult thing, you also know that I am still young, I am still a man, and Frances is a little NV child, I can teach her what I know, but I don't think I can take good care of her life, so she must at least have a guardian by her side to handle some trivial matters of life for her, so that she can concentrate on studying." In addition, after a while, follow me to the royal capital, and then return to my territory to study with me. ”
Hearing that it was just this condition, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, and even felt a little that Chen Xiansong was so considerate of her own daughter: "Your Excellency, Jay is the loyal butler of our Lency family, and he can be a little Frances. ”
"Madam, if I'm gone, who will take care of you?" The white-haired Jay said in embarrassment.
Frances jumped out of her chair, rushed over to her mother, and shouted, "I don't want to be separated from my mother." ”
"Kid...... Ahem" Catherine stroked her hair with withered hands, and said softly, "You must become a soul thinker and reinvigorate us...... Cough...... Honor to the Lensi family, this is your father's legacy. ”
"But when I'm gone, my mother will be gone......" Frances' eyes were full of tears, she was very smart, she had already seen that her mother had a will to die, and if she hadn't taken care of herself, she believed that her mother would definitely go with her father. The thought of such a scene made her whole body chill, and tough words came out of her mouth: "I am no longer a soul thinker, I want to be with my mother." ”
Looking at NV's stubborn expression, Catherine was happy and angry, and was about to speak, but her eyes were blackened, her body shook a few times, and she coughed constantly, which frightened Jay and Frances to help her beat her back. …,
When she came to her senses, Chen Xiansong spoke: "Lady Catherine, Mr. Jay may be a very good housekeeper, I don't question her ability, but you have to understand one thing, Mr. Jay is already very old, he can take care of Frances for a few years, you don't think that soul contemplation only needs a few years to become a quick success, right?" ”
"This ......" Catherine glanced at the old Jay, and she had to admit that Chen Xiansong's words made perfect sense.
"So I think the best person to take care of Frances is yourself." Chen Xiansong took a sip of the fruit wine on the table for entertaining guests, and then continued: "This is my real condition, as for your physical illness, don't worry, Xiao Min will treat you, we will stay in Qingxi City until your illness is completely cured." ”
When little Frances heard this, she couldn't do it happily, rushed over and hugged Chen Xiansong hard, and then stuck out her tongue under her mother's stern gaze, and returned to her seat and sat down obediently. After that, Catherine groaned inwardly, what was going on with this young soul pondering in front of him, did he have another purpose, or was he not sophisticated at all, didn't he know that a noble lady, especially a widow, occasionally went to live in other noble territories for a few days, and no one would say anything, but if it was a long stay for a few months or even years...... That clearly shows the world that this widow is the love of a certain lord.
Catherine thinks that she is not one of those noble ladies who are noble on the outside, but dàng on the inside, and are ambiguous with her knights and guards. After hearing this, she subconsciously wanted to get angry, but then quickly calmed down. Now that he is sick like this ghost, he may not even want to touch himself as a beggar, let alone a noble soul thinker.
In this way, the young soul contemplator in front of her should not have a bad idea of herself, she also wants to be with Nv'er, take care of her, and watch her grow up, just like this...... The reputation of the Lensi family was almost ruined, and the story had to be told between the nobles and the young soul contemplative lords...... Such a subject matter will definitely become a popular topic of idle talk in aristocratic dances.
Catherine clasped her hands together: "Your Excellency, can you give me a few days to think about it?" ”
Chen Xiansong didn't know that there was such a secret among the nobles of the Daoist family, but he knew that the Taoist family had a scripture that was difficult to read, so he didn't force it, and then asked Bai Min to take out a small sheepskin bag from behind him and put it on the table: "No matter what, madam, your illness can't be delayed any longer, this is the yào powder that Xiao Min treats, each time a small spoonful is put into the wheat porridge and cooked, three times a day." After two months, you should be almost better. ”
Catherine didn't have much joy to hear that her illness could be cured, she already had the will to die, but others had worked hard to match yào, bringing kindness, and people couldn't refuse it, so she struggled to get up, and wanted to salute and thank you, little Frances grabbed the cloth bag on the table, and ran to the kitchen, almost tripping over her dress halfway, and it didn't take long for the sound of water and porcelain colliding in the kitchen.
"This kid." Catherine looked in the direction of the kitchen, a faint warm smile on her thin face.
"Ma'am, there is something else I would like to explain to you." Chen Xiansong pointed outside: "Some people in the city seem to want to be unfavorable to Frances, I have asked some friends to stay outside, please forgive me." ”
This thoughtful care ...... Catherine felt that she had a good teacher.
"Sith's safety is a matter of concern to Your Excellency." Catherine ignored Jay's obstruction, stood up, and bent down deeply to Chen Xiansong. This action almost made her faint, who was already extremely weak. Jay, the old butler, immediately carried Catherine to the second floor and let her sleep on the cáng. …,
Chen Xiansong took this opportunity to say goodbye, and as soon as he walked out of the house, Barff greeted him: "Master, the mercenary union has news that a mercenary group has caught a wanted criminal drawn by Bai Min, and the union wants you to go over and confirm." ”
"It's been a few days, and there's finally news. I'll go over it. Balve, you set up the guards around here, and if you don't have manpower, discuss it with Aslan. ”
"Understood." Balf saluted and walked away with a few of his men.
The mercenary union, which had been deserted for several days, was noisy again, and more than thirty dusty mercenaries occupied a corner of the union hall, gobbling up the food on the table, gulping down inferior ale, and laughing rudely one làng higher than a làng.
And not far from their feet, a man lying almost bound to brown was lying by the wall. His face was covered in blood and he had at least several wounds on his body, which were not fatal, but the massive loss of blood made the man weak.
Chen Xiansong took Bai Min into the mercenary union, and the voice inside stopped for a moment. Bai Bai is a concubine, Chen Jiansong, who is very bookish, and Bai Min, who is peerless, and those dirty mercenaries are obviously people from the two worlds. When the mercenary leader saw them, he subconsciously tidied up his appearance, and then came over quickly.
"Your Excellencies, it's a pleasure for you to be here in person." The leader of the mercenary group saluted: "I am the leader of the dragon roar mercenary group, Kaka." ”
"Hello, I'm Chen Xiansong. Great work. Chen Xiansong's gaze wandered in the mercenary union all the time, and he didn't find the target he was looking for for a while: "What about the people you caught?"
The man who was tied into a brown was carried up by two warrior mercenaries and thrown in front of Chen Xiansong.
The mercenary captain Kaka kicked the prisoner hard, and the pain was so severe that the latter woke up. A martial mercenary next to him squatted down and wiped the blood from the prisoner's face with his sleeve so that Chen Xiansong could identify him.
Bai Min called up the image database in the chip, and after a few seconds, she nodded to Chen Xiansong.
The prisoner who woke up was extremely weak, he looked around, and finally fixed on Chen Xiansong: "You are the one who issued the wanted warrant?" ”
Chen Xiansong nodded: "Although I guessed what was going on, I still want to hear you tell me in person...... Why do you want to assassinate me? Who gave you the command? "It's one thing to know in his heart, but if he can find evidence, he can put pressure on the other party through the powerful organization of the Soul Thinkers Association.
I said...... ......" the prisoner said intermittently, "can you spare ...... Me? ”
"Yes."
The prisoner's mouth moved a few times, as if he said something, Chen Xiansong couldn't hear it, he squatted down and leaned his ear over: "Your voice is too quiet, I can't hear it, you say it again?" ”
Seeing Chen Xian's head getting closer and closer to him, the prisoner's eyes, which were so weak that he was about to lose focus, suddenly burst out with a jīng light, his bore bulged high, his mouth opened wide, and a strange wind erupted from his throat, carrying a dark greasy liquid in the wind.
