"We grew up and got acquainted, but he still didn't talk much, and his temperament was cold. His grandfather was anxious for him to marry a wife, but he didn't touch women, and he didn't even have a female maid by his side. Jonlin continued.

Thinking of Chu Sheng's male soldiers, Xi Yao couldn't help but nod seriously, "Well, that's true..."

"Haha. Qiong Lin couldn't help but be amused when he saw Xi Yao's serious nodding, and quipped: "So you know how difficult it is for Chu Sheng to bet with you." ”

"Really? I don't think so. Xi Yao glanced at Qionglin, "It's obvious that he is greedy for money, so he wants me to come out to do hard labor and earn money for his Chu family, where is the gambling contract." ”

Qiong Lin suddenly felt that he couldn't cry or laugh, and he shouted for Chu Sheng in his heart, and he was pitiful for a rich nobleman who was said to be a stingy and stingy ghost by Xi Yao.

He shook his head, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said: "You may not know when you first arrived in Nanyang, although the Chu family is an important minister in the court, it is different from the ordinary civil and military families, regardless of the political affairs of the country, resisting foreign enemies, although I don't know what to do, but in the mouth of the enemy country, the Chu family is called..."Qiong Lin pursed his lips and confided in the difficulty, "It is called... The royal watchdog is a family that cannot be seen. ”

Xi Yao's heart tightened, she had heard of "a family that can't see the light", but "watchdog"... That's a terrible word. Even Xi Yao, who lives in a modern environment where she disagrees and becomes dirty, feels uncomfortable, let alone Chu Sheng, who is the thought of the ancients?

"I once asked Chu Sheng once out of guilt, but he didn't answer, only said that the monarch and the minister are clear, and there are some things that cannot be seen in the light, and people who cannot see the light should do it, and he told me not to feel guilty, everyone has their own mission in the world, and that is his mission. ”

Xi Yao's heart was shocked, and she held the wooden fish in her hand tighter. She suddenly felt very sorry for Chu Sheng, don't look at his usual indifferent appearance, as if he didn't care about anything, but who knows the real situation? Carrying the darkness of the whole country and the hopes of the whole family, does he also feel too tired, and the burden on his shoulders is too heavy?

In order to avoid the pursuers, Qionglin could not stay in a base for too long, so the two did not greet each other for a while when they heard the clanging sound of heavy armor from the other side of the long street, Qionglin hurriedly said goodbye, and then rode on a fast horse and disappeared at the end of the street.

......

When Xi Yao returned home with Xiao Muyu and Yinzi, it was already past dinner time, so she went straight to the dark room as agreed with Chu Sheng before, thinking about what weapons she could get all the way and was excited, but when she went to the dark room to take a look, she found that Chu Sheng was not there at all.

She flipped through the Chu Mansion but didn't find Chu Sheng's shadow, and Mo Bai's residence didn't turn on the lights, so she thought she should have gone out with him.

Could it be that you are out on a mission?

A mission that will not see the light of day...

When the world mentions Chu Sheng, he is a genius who can be seen once in a thousand years, can manipulate the water element at will, has excellent talent, is proficient in all aspects of Wen Taowu, and has full authority to take over the Chu family before he reaches twenty years old, and becomes an important minister in the court, but his central acid is probably unknown to anyone.

Didn't wait for Chu Sheng to come back Xi Yao was unwilling, she couldn't be relied on now, she had to get the weapon in her hand, and after she had a firm idea, she waited at the door of the Chu Mansion, but she didn't know how long she had been waiting.

The sky just turned white, and the vision was still a little dim, Xi Yao's head was little by little, saliva flowed to her mouth, and her eyelids were so sleepy that she suddenly heard a sonorous sound in the distance.

It's the sound of sharp weapons colliding!

She was awake and looked in that direction on guard, but she could see nothing in the dimness, only the buzzing of night insects, as if what she had just heard was an illusion.

Could it be that I am hallucinating? Thinking of Chu Sheng and having hallucinations? Wait, what do you think!

Xi Yao shook her head, trying her best to keep herself awake, in order not to startle the snake, she deliberately slowed down and walked forward, but just two steps later, she suddenly saw a cold blade flying towards her, the speed was so fast, there was no time to dodge!

Seeing that the sharp blade was about to be inserted into the shoulder blade, her body was dragged to the side out of thin air, the man covered her eyes, and a slightly rapid breath blew in her ears, but her voice was calm and soft: "It's too bloody, don't look at it." ”

Before the words fell, Xi Yao only felt that the air around her body was cold.

The blade was blocked, and then there was a terrible scream, and before the smell of blood dissipated, the man grabbed her waist, beat her horizontally and picked her up, flew under her feet, and performed a wonderful light skill, and after a few wisps of cool breeze, she fell into the courtyard of the Chu family.

Xi Yao knew who it was with her heels, the silver-white robe was blown by the breeze, the indifferent eyebrows and eyes, and the beautiful face, not who Chu Sheng was.

He put Xiyao on the seat under the pavilion, squatted down in front of her, cold fingers covered his forehead, his face was expressionless, but his voice was strange, three points tired, seven points reproachful, "Xi Yao, you are sick." Why don't you go into the house in the middle of the night and sleep, what are you doing at the door?"

"I'm waiting for you. Xi Yao almost blurted out that she was blown by the night wind in late autumn all night, and it would be strange if she didn't catch a cold. Smelling the faint smell of blood again, she was startled, and poked the only piece of black and red on the silver-white shirt, and sure enough, Chu Sheng frowned.

The fingertips trembled, as if they were also in pain, Xi Yao looked over cautiously, "Young Master Chu, you are injured." ”

Facing Shang Xiyao's worried and distressed gaze, the last bit of blame and anger in Chu Sheng's heart was softened, and he didn't know what was wrong with him, as if his joy, anger and sorrow were implicated by the little girl in front of him, when did he Chu Sheng not show up, it was really unfair.

He squatted down like this and looked at Xi Yao, suppressed the urge to reach out and touch her cheek, and asked, "Why are you waiting for me?"

Xi Yao's eyes lit up, and she instantly forgot about the assassination and bloody just now, grinned, and happily took out the wooden fish in her pocket, "This is for you." ”

Chu Sheng was stunned, slowly took the wooden fish, and muttered in his mouth: "This is for me?"

"That's right!" Xi Yao patted her chest proudly, "It's not because this girl is hard-working, the boss really doesn't want to go, so let me pick a random thing in the market, I see that this wooden fish is well-made, and always looks very similar to you with a straight face, so I bought it for you." ”

Do you have a straight face...

Chu Sheng smiled helplessly. As Xi Yao said, he really doesn't like to laugh, coupled with his cold temperament, he has almost no close friends since he was a child, and even the elders are afraid when they see him, he keeps an appropriate distance from everyone, appropriate use, proper communication, and proper conversation.

can say his shortcomings so bluntly, Xi Yao is the first one.

Xi Yao was very satisfied with Chu Sheng's stunned expression, and happily took out the one hundred taels of silver and stuffed it into his hand, "You can't play tricks now, you have to promise the weapon I owe before." ”

Chu Sheng smiled faintly, suddenly didn't want to spend this ingot of silver, nodded and said, "That's natural." ”
