It's a warm spring day, but it's almost afternoon, but the weather is quite hot. The servant hurriedly came and sweated profusely, taking off the green hat on his head and wiping his sweat with a handkerchief.

Xu Biyi saw that the heat was rising from his head, and the sweat was rolling down his forehead continuously, and she couldn't bear it in her heart, and it was inconvenient to ask questions, so she waited aside, watching this person keep wiping his sweat with a hand towel.

The servant's handkerchief was soaked with sweat, and soon became like a rag, dirty and black, and he could no longer serve his master dutifully. The servant also noticed this, so he rolled up his sleeves and kept wiping the sweat from his forehead.

When Ma Xiuying saw the situation of the servants, she was also a little moved in her heart, and felt that this person was so diligent and hard-working, and he could be regarded as loyal. Then he said: "Don't worry, stop your cooking first, and talk back in the line." ”

Listening to Ma Xiuying's reasonable words, the servants who came by order were greatly moved, and immediately wanted to inform Ma Xiuying and Xu Biyi of the fact that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, had instructed him to come here. However, as soon as the mind turned here, he suddenly thought of Wu Guogong's warning to him when he was leaving, and knew that Wu Guogong must have secretly sent someone to stare at him, and he couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart, and the original idea of wanting to say this was dispelled, but he muttered a few vaguely.

Xu Biyi, who was closely related to this matter, naturally noticed the abnormality of the servant, and saw that he seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know why he kept silent again, but the corners of his mouth trembled, and the situation was by no means ordinary. Thinking about it like this, Xu Biyi had great doubts in her heart, so she asked the servant: "Wu Guogong wants to see me, and he has always come to my residence, why do you want me to go to the front hall to meet me today." ”

Hearing this, the servant was naturally very confused in his heart, he didn't expect that Xu Biyi was so powerful, just from his demeanor and demeanor, he could grasp something that was extremely difficult for others to think of. I couldn't help but beat a drum in my heart, but Wu Guogong's sharp eyes appeared in my heart, and I didn't feel that my body was shocked, and I explained to Xu Biyi: "Biyi's master is a good teacher, the villain definitely doesn't want to deceive the master, Wu Guogong invited the master to go to the flower hall to see him, but he was busy with official business, and the military situation was like fire, and Wu Guogong had no way to get out for a while." When we met in court, I also asked the master to understand Wu Guogong's difficulties. ”

Xu Biyi snorted coldly in his nostrils and said: "His difficulties, yes, he has difficulties, but these days he has been accompanying that goblin Li Ningluo day and night, how could he ever want to come to my residence once and get close to me." ”

In this way, Xu Biyi's eyebrows were slightly resentful, lined with the purple robe on her body, the servant felt in his heart that Biyi's master was beautiful in front of people, but in fact, he was pretending to be smiling, and he had to be like this, and he had a grievance in his heart that he couldn't confide in others.

Xu Biyi and Wu Guogong were originally a pair of mandarin ducks, and in the eyes of the servants of Wu Guogong's mansion, they have always been like shadows, raising their eyebrows together, and their love is extraordinary, just like a fairy couple.

The poor good times didn't last long, just when her husband and wife Luan Feng and Ming were flying with wings, Wu Guogong abandoned her after accepting a new concubine Li Ningluo. For the villains in the mansion, this matter also feels that this matter is succumbed to Wu Guogong. But who made Wu Guogong the most powerful person in Yingtian, even if the landlord in the countryside collected three or five more burdens of millet when the year was good, it was possible to find a concubine, not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, who was noble as Wu Guogong.

But these words can only be said to some confidants in private, but Xu Biyi's servants who are full of ice and snow in front of them, full of pearls and emeralds but full of resentment, can't say it.

Even if he was extremely sympathetic to Biyi's master in his heart, he didn't dare to think about anything else, he knew that if Wu Guogong found out that he had leaked the slightest rumor of this matter to Xu Biyi, he would definitely take his own life, and if Wu Guogong wanted to take his own life, it would be like crushing an ant to death, it was just a gesture.

I suddenly remembered that Wu Guogong ordered to kill people a few years ago, and on the day of the autumn decision the year before last, Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang personally sat at the entrance of the vegetable market. Dozens of people confessed their sins, and in a moment, people's heads were rolling, terrifying, but they sat high. Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu on the stage, did not do anything at all, but judging from the perception of the servants, Wu Guogong was too ruthless, and many of the criminals who were killed that year were subordinates in the mansion, but they made some mistakes, but Wu Guogong found out.

After all, it was a kind of thing, and the servants who went to the vegetable market to watch such a grand event that day were very unhappy, and they also began to feel that Zhu Yuanzhang, the Duke of Wu, was by no means a soft-hearted master, and his iron-fisted methods were not easy to provoke.

It was precisely because of this kind of thought, coupled with the macro distance that Wu Guogong sent people to keep an eye on, the servant naturally did not dare to tell Xu Biyi the truth, but he had an idea, and suddenly thought of something, so he opened his mouth and said to Xu Biyi: "Master, Wu Guogong is definitely not such a person, master, don't blame Wu Guogong." I heard that these days, the Han army under the command of the Han king Chen Youliang attacked Yingtian, and the soldiers were in trouble, and some desolate villages outside the city gathered some unpragmatic nomads and lawless thugs. Wu Guogong knew that if those homeless people and thugs were not suppressed, they might develop into a secret gang organization that was extremely difficult to control, and the Chu military division found Hanyang's gang gang in the city a few days ago also belonged to this category. Wu Guogong naturally didn't dare to be unreasonable, and was painstakingly planning to arrest these chaotic people and detain them in Yingtian's prison. ”

Hearing the servant's words that seemed to be true and false, Xu Biyi still didn't believe it, but the last sentence she heard Chu Liuyan did a few days ago, Xu Biyi also heard a little. Naturally, he believed it a little, but he still said tentatively: "Even if it becomes a gang, it can't pose any threat to Ying Tian, why should Wu Guogong be so hands-on, and want to arrest the children of these poor families one by one." ”

Seeing that Xu Biyi still seemed to be unbelieving, the servant only had to say something to scare: "Master, I don't know, if these chaotic people form a gang, it may cause a situation where the tail is too big to fall, and it will be much more difficult to exterminate it at that time." ”

Ma Xiuying interjected disapprovingly on the side and said: "No matter how they collude, it is just a group of rabble, if you take the officers and soldiers to exterminate it, it is not a matter of being able to capture it and get it safe." ”

Hearing Mrs. Ma's questioning, the servant hurriedly turned to Ma Xiuying, bowed and said: "Mrs. Ma doesn't know, this gang is not a joke, what kind of Manichaeism was in a hurry a few days ago, it can compete with the Tartar court." In addition, some secret gangs have their own unique ways and traditions of swearing allegiance to the gang leader, such as some cuts and codes, it is extremely difficult for people who are not in the gang to understand the meaning of the period, a large number of people are quietly hiding in a certain place, waiting for a certain order and time, and when the time comes, even the officers and soldiers will be caught off guard, and those armed forces such as armor are naturally more difficult to resist. Even if Wu Guogong didn't want to see these situations happen, he wanted to capture these chaotic people in one fell swoop and arrest them. However, the whereabouts of these rioters are erratic, sometimes here and sometimes there, which is really elusive. ”

"Okay, you don't have to say it, and you don't have to say good things for Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, no matter how you say it, I am also a husband and wife with Wu Guogong, I still know what kind of person he is."

"Madame doesn't have to be angry, this is a true thing, even if the villain has the intention to deceive, he will not dare to talk nonsense like this." The servant knew that this matter was definitely not easy to deal with, and the only way at the moment was this, if he could deny the past, his dog life might still be able to live. It is a matter of life and death, and I have to hold on so hard.

Xu Biyi and Ma Xiuying stared at the servants carefully for a long time, seeing that he didn't seem to be a treacherous person by nature, and his behavior was also quite dedicated, although these words were excessively sensational, but there was Chu Liuyan's preconceived notion that Chu Liuyan investigated the Hanyang spy group called "Dongxiangju" in Yingtian City last time, Ma Xiuying and Xu Biyi felt that this matter was quite possible.

Xu Biyi turned her face to Ma Xiuying and said, "Sister Ma, there doesn't seem to be any flaw between this person's words, but Biyi is still a little worried, and I really don't know what happened to Wu Guogong looking for me today." ”

Ma Xiuying stretched out her hand and shook Xu Biyi's hand, it was indeed cold as far as she could reach, knowing that Xu Biyi must be worried about this matter. couldn't help pinching Xu Biyi's palm and said, "Wu Guogong has always had the intention to rectify the chaotic people and thieves, but I know this wish." However, the current development of the situation is a little surprising to my sister, it stands to reason that at present, the sailors under the command of Chen Youliang, the king of Han, are attacking Yingtian's sailor camp, and Wu Guogong should not be able to distinguish between these things, but it is also possible that there are Hanyang's spies hidden among these chaotic people. ”

When the servant heard Ma Xiuying's words, he echoed and said: "What Mrs. Ma saw is not impossible, those chaotic people are originally mixed with fish and dragons, and it is common for them to mix in some spies, and Wu Guogong's practice is also to make Chen Youliang's trick of the dog thief not succeed." ”

Xu Biyi was still extremely worried in her heart, she understood that many strange things had happened in Wu Guogong's mansion these days, and many things in the meantime had involved her, obviously there was an extremely unusual force behind her, wanting to make up some accusations to fall on her head, although she didn't know what the intentions of these behind-the-scenes masters were, but Xu Biyi knew that these people were very likely to come to Zhu Yuanzhang and Wu Guogong. And it may be that he wants to harm and divide the relationship between the Xu family and Zhu Yuanzhang.

If it is really as he thinks, it is very likely that these people have done so many things in Wu Guogong's mansion to drive a wedge between their brother Xu Da and Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang.

However, the other party's behavior is secretive, it is really elusive, and he has already fallen into the trap several times, but he can't move and can't extricate himself. Judging from these events alone, the power behind this is really not to be underestimated.

Thinking of this, Xu Biyi suddenly felt that it was very necessary for her to meet Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang, tell Wu Guogong Zhu Yuanzhang what she was thinking about in the past few days, and let him think of a way to get out of the district, so that he could understand these headless public cases, if it continues like this, I don't know what the year of the monkey is and what the moon is.

No matter how cautious and careful he is, he may not be able to escape the other party's carefully constructed arrest, even if he can take refuge in Ma Xiuying now. However, this matter will not last long, and it is only a stopgap measure. People hide far away in the shadows, and they can defeat the enemy by coming up with some ways to do so, but on the other hand, if they blindly dodge, they will finally have nothing to dodge one day, and they will be completely reduced to the other party's fish on the board.

Therefore, Xu Biyi straightened her mood, stood up and said resolutely to Ma Xiuying: "Sister, since Wu Guogong specially summoned her, my sister has to go to meet Wu Guogong, sister rest assured, I think Wu Guogong will still remember the love of this husband and wife, and I won't be embarrassed with me." ”

Seeing Xu Biyi's attitude like this, in addition to being shocked, Ma Xiuying asked in surprise: "Sister, what you said is true, according to my sister, it may not be a good thing for Wu Guogong to summon him at this time." I don't know what ugly words Li Ningluo's goblin picked up on Wu Guogong's side, how do you want to frame the sister, the sister must be careful, and you can't easily set foot in the dangerous place. Ma Xiuying persuaded Xu Biyi with pity.

"Sister, please rest assured, this is the dignified mansion of Wu Guogong, and Biyi is also the concubine that Wu Guogong is marrying, although it is not as noble as my sister, but compared to the goblin Li Ningluo, who eats people and does not spit out bones, my sister is confident that Wu Guogong will not be disadvantageous to my sister. Although this place is sinister, but what is more sinister is the people's hearts, the sister has made up her mind, and wants to take this opportunity to persuade Wu Guogong, many strange things have happened in the mansion these days, even Sister Ma has been poisoned, obviously some people with ulterior motives have deliberately arranged it like this, and their purpose is extremely sinister. It's just that Wu Guogong still doesn't know anything at the moment, even if his sister fights for her life, she has to tell Wu Guogong about this matter, hoping to make Wu Guogong have some warnings and vigilance in his heart, so that he can do his part as a concubine. ”

After saying these words, Xu Biyi's eyes moistened, and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Bah, why did my sister suddenly say such a bunch of depressing words, no matter what, even if Wu Guogong doesn't believe in his sister, and everyone in the mansion doesn't believe in his sister, I, who is my sister, must believe in my sister and never turn my back. No matter what, my sister thinks that Biyi's sister is definitely not the kind of bad person who has the intention to harm people, and she can be regarded as a good match for Wu Guogong, if I hadn't married Wu Guogong on my father's order, I believe that the current position of Wu Guogong's wife is still my sister's. My sister wants to come, as long as I and my sisters are of the same heart, even if someone wants to secretly frame us and others, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and they can still come up with some ways, my sister must not be so pessimistic and frustrated, to think about such a heartbroken thing? ”

Xu Biyi listened to Ma Xiuying's words and was comforted, and was greatly moved in her heart, and blurted out: "My sister is right, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, as long as I and other sisters work together, there will be no disaster that cannot be overcome, no matter who wants to frame me behind my back and slander me, as long as my sister trusts me, my sister is also enough." Even if Wu Guogong doesn't trust Biyi, Biyi can also show her heart by dying. ”

Ma Xiuying heard this sad words coming out of Xu Biyi's mouth, and hurriedly reached out to cover Xu Biyi's mouth, and said angrily: "The more my sister talks, the more terrifying it becomes, what she says is like life and death, my sister doesn't like to hear this, my sister must not be like this, she must not act so rashly, otherwise how sad will my sister be." ”

Xu Biyi naturally understood Ma Xiuying's intentions, and knew that her words were too sad, which made people have to be moved. It's just that Ma Xiuying made such a sad remark in front of her, and even Ma Xiuying's mood became worse, which is indeed against the way of sisters.

As soon as she realized this, Xu Biyi hurriedly changed her face, and said to Ma Xiuying with a pretended smile: "What my sister taught this time is that my sister is too worried, as long as I can be with my sister, no matter how big the wind and waves occur in the mansion, we can resist it." ”

Xu Biyi's words are from the bottom of her heart, and Ma Xiuying wants to help Xu Biyi, but it is also out of sincerity. Although Ma Xiuying did not have a very deep affection for Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to keep the position of Mrs. Yan, she would also use some means.

However, Ma Xiuying didn't want Xu Biyi to die. When Ma Xiuying and Lan Yu fell in love, Xu Biyi followed Ma Xiuying and did a lot of things for Ma Xiuying. Ma Xiuying doesn't have no feelings for her. Moreover, Ma Xiuying is a smart person, Xu Biyi and Li Ningluo contain each other, which will benefit her without harm, if Xu Biyi has any three strengths and two weaknesses, it is naturally Li Ningluo who benefits.

Li Ningluo's methods, Ma Xiuying has gradually seen. If she is alone in the future, I am afraid that Ma Xiuying will be difficult to deal with. There is another thing, Ma Xiuying hopes that Zhu Yuanzhang can achieve great things, and naturally Xu Da is indispensable. If Xu Biyi had anything long and two short, would Xu Da be so easy to give up?

Therefore, she comforted Xu Biyi and said: "Sister, don't worry, sister, I will do my best to ensure that you are well." ”

Xu Biyi was slightly relieved when she heard Ma Xiuying say this. She saw that Zhu Yuanzhang had great respect for Ma Xiuying on weekdays, and maybe Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to listen to Ma Xiuying's words. It's just that in this way, Xu Biyi's heart is finally broken, and she is completely dead to Zhu Yuanzhang.

All men in the world are lucky. So far, that's all she can think about.
