Chapter 70 [Murderous Clouds]
Chapter 70 [Murderous Clouds]
The sky was dark, looking at the lanterns swaying in front of her, life was boiling, Ning Xue couldn't help but ask curiously; "It's so lively over there, what's the fun?"
Fan Yun said with a smile; "It's a night market."
Xiao Yan paused, with a smile on his lips, "Is there still a night market in this Jianchang City?" Shall we go shopping too?"
Shen Yue's face changed slightly, his eyes seemed to darken, and he stopped him; "Xiao Gongzi stays, the night market is mixed, I'm afraid it's not safe, it's better not to go."
Fan Yun pulled Ning Xue tightly, already had a number in his heart, and followed; "Yes, Childe should not go, besides, Ning Xue and Rumo are both from the girl's family, so it is inconvenient to go to a place with many people."
Ru Mo put down the piano, said "oh" in her mouth, and bowed with a depressed smile on her face; "Then don't go, it's not too early, if there is nothing else, Rumo will take the first step!"
As soon as she turned around, she was dragged by Xiao Yan's hand, she looked back at him, blinked, "Let go." He took her arm and said affectionately; I haven't visited the night market yet, so why do I have to leave?"
Her cheeks were crimson, and she couldn't help but feel a little confused, and she flickered; "What night market? This girl is not in the mood to ......" frowned and suddenly muttered, "I'm going to the night market to play!"
"Brother Yan, shall we go to the night market?" Ning Xue pursed her small mouth, tilted her head with a bitter face, and looked at Xiao Yan.
Fan Yun pondered and smiled, and said to Shen Yue; "Brother Shen, it's okay, just let them go, a few of our big men can do martial arts, and those little ones are not weak, don't worry, it's okay."
Shen Yue nodded, turned to Xiao Yan and saluted, "Shen has taken the first step, and I hope that Xiao Gongzi will have a good time!"
Xiao Yan smiled, at this moment, Ning Xue had already trotted down and ran down the Xiting, Fan Yun chased after him with a strong step, and shouted; "You girl run slowly, be careful of the crowds, and wash you away......"
Ru Mo looked at the backs of Fan Yun and Ning Xue running away, glanced at Xiao Yan, and said; "You're not afraid they'll get lost? Why don't you catch up?"
"Oh." Xiao Yan's smile deepened and said softly; "It's better to get lost, lest they get in the way of our visit to the night market."
Ru Mo panicked in her head, her eyes looked stiffly at the neon in front of her, her eyes didn't blink, and she didn't speak for a while; "Let's go!"
Xiao Yan saw that Ru Mo didn't say a word, not only did he not think about it, but he pointed to the small stalls one by one with great interest and asked, "What is that white one on the lotus leaf?"
Ru Mo was stunned for a moment, and then pouted, "It's almond shortbread." ”
"What's that yellow string? Soaking in a pot?" Xiao Yan's eyes lit up and he asked again.
Ru Mo replied; "It's a tofu skewer."
"What about the red beads?" A curious over-age baby continues to ask.
"Sugar gourd."
"What about the green beads?"
"Bracelets."
"Why are they all skewered?"
“......”
Turning around a stone bridge, I saw a merchant carrying a burden, which was full of hairpins, pearls, rouge gouache, sachets, etc......
"This girl looks so beautiful, choose one, it's absolutely good and cheap, don't miss out on good things!" The merchant greeted with a smile.
Ru Mo picked up a string of small bells woven with flower buckles, shook Xiao Yan, and said with a smile; "How about this, is it fun?"
The merchant laughed busily; "The girl really knows how to choose, this is a concentric knot, a five-pattern money, buy one and tie it around your waist, to ensure that your lover will find you."
"Vulgar." Xiao Yan couldn't suppress his anger, and he didn't care what kind of demeanor he didn't have, his slender fingers grabbed Ru Mo like iron pincers, ignored her and retreated, and dragged her out a few meters away.
The merchant stared at the concentric knot held in Ru Mo's hand, and said hurriedly; "Hey, girl, childe, don't go yet, you haven't paid yet?"
Xiao Yan impatiently pulled out his purse from his waist, threw his head backwards without turning his head, and roared; "If her lover wants to find her by what kind of knot, he is not a fool or a fool, she doesn't need it."
Ru Mo smiled slyly, secretly complaining for this merchant, this merchant is really blind, completely ignoring this handsome and gentle prince who has a black face at this time, what kind of lover? Isn't he her lover in front of her?
Behind his head was the merchant's forehead, and while counting the large amount of silver in his purse, he laughed out loud and muttered to himself; "Hehe, I've been selling goods for most of my life, and it's rare to see such a handsome person, it's really handsome for men and pretty for women, but the boy didn't see it, the lover in the girl's heart is him!"
The early morning sun poured into the house, a few small birds chirped in the trees outside the window, the candles on the table had long since burned out, and the white bed tent floated in the breeze.
"Knock knock!" There was a knock on the door.
Ru Mo opened the door, her eyes widened suddenly, and she saw a line of small servants holding a plate, and in that plate were placed all kinds of pearl jade hairpins, and some large agate beads, and in the other plate were placed fine mutton fat jade, as well as rouge gouache in various delicate small boxes, and even more bizarre was that there were antique vases, calligraphy and paintings, etc......
"What's going on?" Helplessly frowned, he asked.
"I asked them to prepare, do you still like it?" Bursts of familiar ambergris burrowed into her nose, her heart moved, and she subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she was suddenly pulled into her arms by Xiao Yan's outstretched arms.
She rubbed her eyes, relieved herself from her astonishment, and pretended to be expressionless; "Isn't that good?"
His face stiffened, and he hooked the corners of his lips, "Although these are also very vulgar, they can still be eye-catching, I thought you would like them." ”
She withdrew and turned her head to glare at him, but was captured by his tender eyes, looking at this handsome face that she wanted to think about day and night, she seemed to feel a little guilty, his deliberate flattery, the doting tone, and the let down of the figure, like a spell, covered her almost suffocated.
She stood quietly, her heart softened, and her eyes narrowed into two crescents, "Fool, who said I don't like it anymore, why are you so nice to me?"
He took her back into his arms, gently sucked her lips, and said in his heart; "Because my jasmine is worth it!"
When the fiery lips and tongue were entangled, a flash flashed in her mind, and some fragments suddenly appeared, the merchant, the stone bridge, the half-wheel crescent, the intoxicating night, and then the eyelids sank, and the more she recalled, the whiter her face became, and she couldn't help but tremble in her voice; "Last night...... We...... Do what....... Is it there?"
Hearing her ask this, his mood was in vain, and his heart gradually rose, and his eyes were full of smiles, and he smiled softly; "Didn't do anything last night......."
She exhaled a breath, and was just about to put her mind at ease, but the second half of someone's sentence came up again, "I didn't do anything last night, but I was my little girl who warmed the bed!"
She was so angry that she stomped her feet and was about to stare at him again, not wanting to be unstable under her feet, and fell forward, he hurriedly stretched out his arms to pick it up, hugged him, groaned slightly, and smiled; "What? Does Mo'er still want to relive her old dreams?"
The southernmost part of Jianchang, close to the suburbs, leans on the green mountains on the left, the green lake on the right, and the willows on both sides of the road. A blue-clothed carriage drove along the wide stone paved road with the whip of the horseman.
Ru Mo sat cross-legged in the bumpy carriage, her expression seemed to carry a hint of anger, but she was not obviously puzzled; "I didn't mention my 'deed of sale' to Brother Shen last time, so why did I promise him to pick up the goods?"
"Miss Rumo, you have already pressed your handprint and promised Brother Shen, this transaction can't be half-nullified!" Fan Yun hugged his knees and frowned.
Ru Mo's eyes flashed, and she said eagerly; "But it was Brother Shen who designed me and caused me to owe gambling debts, so I became like this, and I had to press my handprint."
Xiao Yan, who had not spoken, smiled for a while, and wondered as he turned to Ru Mo and hugged him; "What is the purpose of breaking into Jianchang Mansion at night three times and twice? Where is the guy who wanted to investigate something?"
Ru Mo forcefully swept away Xiao Yan's hand, and jumped down again coldly, "So you know everything?"
"Didn't you tell Brother Fan about Miss Rumo, how could we not know?" Xiao Yan pursed his lips and said with a light smile.
Fan Yun nodded, "Yes, Miss Rumo met Fan for the first time, and said on the corridor of the Shen Mansion that she was the one who came to investigate one thing!"
"We know more than you think." Xiao Yan grabbed Ru Mo's shoulder with his backhand.
"Since you all know, then let's stop acting, let alone pretend to be confused, in fact, my face is ......" Ru Mo decided not to hide it anymore, and planned to tell everything about meeting Granny Xiang who saved her life, but before she could finish speaking, she was covered by Xiao Yan.
Ru Mo winked at Xiao Yan, was stunned, and muttered to herself; "What? Hasn't he been looking for a chance to see through me? Why don't you let me talk about it at this time?"
"Miss Rumo, what do you say your face is?" Fan Yun's eyes dimmed, and he hurriedly asked.
Xiao Yan deliberately sneered, judo; "Miss Rumo wants to say that her face is not original, it looks like there has been a knife on it, don't believe it, the nose is fake, haha......"
Ru Mo's eyes narrowed into two sharp lights and glared at Xiao Yan, and a strange smile appeared on her lips, "Don't look at my face as fake, but my heart is not fake, unlike some people, it is fake inside and out, and there is no credibility at all." ”
Xiao Yan didn't seem to hear it, his eyelashes twitched, and he immediately said coldly; "Quiet!"
"Master, have you found anything?" Fan Yun was agitated and fixed his gaze.
Ru Mo was taken aback, "What's wrong?" In the next second, Xiao Yan accurately grabbed his hand and held it tightly in his palm, "There is a murderous aura outside the car!"
"Brother Shen only let us pick up the goods...... How could it be...... Murderous?" Ru Mo stammered.
After a stalemate for a long time, Xiao Yan's eyes condensed a glimmer of light, and he breathed a sigh of relief; "Far away."
"It's far away, the aroma is not so strong, and it is lighter."
"What? Do you smell the aroma?"
Lift the curtain and get out of the carriage, look out, the field is covered with delicate red, tender green, a small river runs through the hilly, the water is rippling, clear to the bottom.
"What kind of person will be the handover?" Ru Mo tilted her head and asked, only to see that the expression on Xiao Yan's lips was in his chest, what was he thinking?
"You'll find out in a moment." Fan Yun's smile froze.
Ru Mo leaned on the carriage frame, and looked at Xiao Yan with her eyes flashing, "The purchase channel of 'Qinxiangzhai' is hooked with the palace inside, and it will be ....... later." Will it be dangerous?"
Xiao Yan touched a strand of long hair on the side of Ru Mo's neck, pulled it to her nose and sniffed it, and smiled indifferently; "It seems that this Jianchang Mansion is not in vain, why do you know so much at once?"
Ru Mo was confused, her eyes flashed with suspicion, "Can you tell me, why did you come to Jianchang?"
"Hehe, find someone." Xiao Yan laughed, "And like you, I want to investigate one thing!" As he spoke, he stepped into the carriage.
Ru Mo held on to the frame, frowned and pondered, and glanced at Fan Yun, "How many people are coming?"
Fan Yun did not answer, but said in a daze; "Who are you?"
"Soon I'll tell you who I am, it's just not the right time." Ru Mo avoided Fan Yun's gaze and jumped into the carriage.
Xiao Yan watched Ru Mo get into the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said low to Fan Yun; "Let them all wait here, and you will stay."
Fan Yun paused and said; "Master, isn't this too dangerous?"
Xiao Yan raised his eyebrows, "I have my own countermeasures to deal with it, you just have to wait, everything is at my command." ”
Fan Yun nodded, did not follow again, and as the horsewhip was raised, Ru Mo was surprised; "Why don't you let Fan Yun come along? Plus the coachman is only three people, how many of us will go?"
Xiao Yan clasped her arms around Ru Mo, rubbed her chin against her hair, and smiled; "What, are you scared?"
Ru Mo looked left and right, rolled her eyes, and said mysteriously; "If you're afraid, you won't live today!"
