Chapter 159: Tryst

Xiaobi looked at the young lady sitting in the garden in a daze, and sighed softly. Huazi has been in low spirits and listless since she got up in the morning, until after lunch, she still looks haggard, and it is really distressing to watch.

It's strange, I was fine before I went out last night, why did it become like this when I came back? The master didn't use the family method in the end last night? Xiaobi was very puzzled.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance wafted into her nose, Xiaobi couldn't help frowning, what kind of fragrance is this, why has she never smelled it in the courtyard, it doesn't look like a flower? As soon as I thought of this, I felt a wave of tiredness hit me, and then I didn't know anything.

Hua Zi was still looking at the flowers in her small courtyard in a daze, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't notice at all that the maid behind her was standing and asleep.

A few strands of hair on his forehead were gently blown by the breeze, and his watery eyes seemed to be a pool of clear water, with a few ripples from time to time.

Suddenly, a colorful butterfly stopped on the petals in front of her, the palm-sized butterfly, which immediately made Huazi's eyes light up, and her pretty face seemed to change from cloudy to sunny in an instant.

"How did you get here? Butterfly, Butterfly, are you here for me? Huazi's hand gently reached out to the colorful butterfly.

Just as her hand was about to touch the butterfly, the butterfly suddenly flapped its wings and flew away. Huazi was in a hurry, stood up and wanted to chase, but his eyes chased the butterfly, but he froze.

The beautiful colorful butterfly rested on a broad shoulder, right, shoulder, a man's broad shoulder. In the small courtyard of Huazi, there stood a tall man, with a faint smile on his face, his eyes were looking at the beautiful girl in front of him, and his expression seemed to say, "Finally let me find you." ”

"You...... You ......" Hua Zi saw him, but her pretty face suddenly turned red, and she couldn't help but hang her head, looking at her clothes, her heart jumped. Just now she was thinking about last night's experience, thinking about the colorful butterfly, the man with a good-looking smile, and now the man suddenly appeared in front of her and smiled at her, and she couldn't help but feel like someone was seeing through her heart.

"Your name is Huazi, right?" This man is naturally Li He, he slowly walked towards his beautiful fiancée, smiled and whispered.

"Hmm." Huazi responded in a low voice, suddenly reacted, and raised her head to look at him: "Why are you here?" "If it became known that there was such a strange man in her courtyard, it would be ruined, as her father had said, though she really wanted to see him.

Li He had already walked in front of Huazi, stopped two steps away from her, and said with a smile: "Naturally, I came in over the wall." ”

"Over the wall?" Huazi couldn't help but exclaim, how could he come in over the wall? You must know that the courtyard where she lives is in the inner courtyard of Washington, and there are other courtyards outside the wall, if you want to climb over the wall to get in, but you have to cross several courtyards.

"Is your kung fu good?"

Li He's smile became even brighter: "I think in our Xia country, even if I am not the first, I can be the second." If I were second, I'm afraid no one would dare to admit first. ”

"Bragging." Hua Zi pouted slightly, but she couldn't help but think of her fiancé, who was known as the most martial general in Xia Guo's history. Thinking that he hadn't passed the door yet, he was talking to a strange man in his small courtyard, as if he was dating, and a sense of guilt rose for no reason.

Li He didn't defend either, and said with a smile: "You must be very boring in this small courtyard alone, right?" ”

Huazi suddenly remembered that she was not alone in the courtyard, so she hurriedly looked at Xiaobi, but saw her maid standing with her head tilted and falling asleep.

The voice next to him sounded: "Don't worry, she's fine, she's just asleep." ”

"You...... How did you find me? Huazi distanced herself from Li He a little, she felt that she was easy to lose herself in front of this man, which was too dangerous, but this danger made her so fascinated and desired. But her father's words last night still reminded her from time to time that her decision and her actions were not only related to her own happiness, but also related to the life and death of the entire Hua family.

Li He smiled: "I naturally have my magical powers. ”

"That'...... So what are you looking for me to do? Huazi's eyes never dared to look at Li He's face again, although she liked the sunny and warm smile.

"You forgot, you promised me one more thing last night?" Li He said.

Hua Zi remembered that she had indeed promised last night that as long as he could summon the colorful butterfly, she would promise him to do one thing. At that time, I thought he was just joking, how could butterflies obey people's commands, and besides, he didn't know where he lived, and even if he agreed, it was just an empty promise. Unexpectedly, he not only made the butterfly listen to his call, but also found himself the next day, and even knew his name.

"That'...... So what do you want me to do? You said it...... I have to do it voluntarily. Hua Zi said in a low voice, and couldn't help but think in his heart, now that he was the only one facing him in this courtyard, if he wanted to do bad to himself, what should he do? With his martial arts, there is absolutely no way for him to struggle and resist. But then he felt that he would not do this to himself, and as for why, he couldn't say a reason in his heart.

"Well, you must be very bored staying in the house all day long, how about I take you out to play?" Li He said with a smile, like a weasel about to abduct a chicken.

"Hanging out?" Huazi hesitated, she knew that she should refuse. She is a betrothed woman, she is someone else's fiancée, and she can't go out with other men. But I couldn't restrain myself from thinking of the scene at the "Ten Thousand Flowers Meeting" last night, looking at the smile of the man in front of me, I couldn't help but want to agree.

"Do you want to hang out with me?" Li He asked in a different way.

"Yes." The ghost made the god worse, Huazi actually nodded, but she immediately reacted and hurriedly said: "But if my father knew, it would be very troublesome......"

Li He smiled: "Don't worry, your grandfather and father are not at home." Let's just go out for a while, and no one will find out that you've left the yard. ”

"But ......"

"I promise you, you won't find out, okay?"

"This ......" Huazi's heart was still fighting fiercely, and reason told her that she couldn't go. But the real idea is to go.

"You're willing to come with me, aren't you? Your heart is willing, isn't it? ”

"I ......" Huazi didn't know how to answer.

However, Li He didn't need her to answer, he directly grabbed her waist, and in her coquettish voice, he took two steps and jumped out of the small courtyard.

Outside the small courtyard, it is still the inner courtyard of Washington, Huazi saw several people in the mansion standing on the hidden path outside, and she was anxious, in case they saw it, her father asked, how should she explain?

"Don't worry, they're asleep too." Li He knew what Huazi was worried about, and said with a hot wind blowing in her ear.

"Asleep?" Huazi was stunned for a moment, and looked at those subordinates, indeed they were all the same as Xiaobi in the courtyard, standing in place, with their heads tilted, their eyes closed, and they looked like they were asleep.

"How so, how did you do it?" Huazi asked in surprise.

Li He smiled slightly and said, "I said, I have supernatural powers." As he spoke, he grabbed her waist and took her out of Washington in a few steps.

Of course, this is not Li He's supernatural powers, everything is the help of the fox demon Xiangxiang on the side, relying on her spells, everyone in Washington has been temporarily dormant.

Therefore, all the way out, the people in Washington I saw were all standing and sleeping, and no one saw Li He and the two. They just walked out the back door of Washington and got into the carriage that had already stopped outside the door.

As soon as the two got into the car, a white shadow also jumped out of the house, and followed them into the carriage, which was the fox demon Xiangxiang.

Xiangxiang and Qianqian in the carriage were not veiled, and after Huazi saw the two women, she couldn't help but marvel that there was such a beautiful woman in the world! Last night, both girls were veiled, she only thought that they were in good shape, their eyes were very beautiful, and she knew that their appearance must not be bad, but she didn't expect that they would be so beautiful, they were simply fairies that should not belong to the world!

He already has such a beautiful woman by his side, why is he looking for me? Hua Zi's eyes when she looked at Li He became more complicated.

As soon as Li He got in the car, he said to Yang Jin, who was acting as a temporary driver in front: "Let's go." ”

As soon as the carriage began to move, Huazi asked, "Who are you?" "Now she's out, if not supposed to, coming out. In that case, let's do what we should do. But she became more and more curious about the identity of the man in front of her, she could actually find herself, she could easily enter the Shangshu Mansion of the Great Xia Kingdom to find someone, and she could actually make the people in the mansion stand and fall asleep at the same time, who is he?!

Li He smiled and said, "You can call me Li Erlang." After knowing that Huazi was his fiancée, he suddenly didn't want to let her know his identity so quickly, he hoped to get Huazi's heart before marriage.

Li Erlang? Huazi couldn't help but wonder, she had never heard of this name. Could it be that he is a master and hero on the rivers and lakes?

"You...... Where are you taking me? Huazi asked worriedly.

"You'll find out later." Li He said with a smile.

Hua Zi suddenly found that he had been looking at herself, and that look seemed to be looking through her soul, and couldn't help but wonder: "You...... What do you see me doing? ”

Li He's eyes were still looking at her delicate face: "Have we seen each other?" ”

Huazi was stunned when she heard this, and remembered that day on the street, he suddenly threw a puppet from the side of the road into his carriage, and the puppet was so cute! It was also that day that she saw his sunny smile, and she remembered it in her heart ever since. Because of this, at last night's "Ten Thousand Flowers Meeting", he recognized him at a glance, asked him to help him get out of the predicament, and had a wonderful and happy "Ten Thousand Flowers Night".

However, after hesitating for a while, Huazi still did not answer Li He, neither said that she had seen it, nor did she say that she had not seen it.

Li He didn't ask, but instead talked about other things about Huazi. He had done a little research before he came, and Huazi had rarely gone out over the years, and even when he did, it was in the carriage, and he had never appeared in public, and she could be described as a standard lady of the family. Last night, it was the first time that this eldest lady sneaked out to play.

Therefore, along the way, he told Huazi about what he had seen and heard in various places, from Jiangnan to the northwest, from the northwest to the desert, and then from the desert to the capital, so that Huazi was fascinated and fascinated. In the end, Li He also promised that he would definitely take her to those places in the future. Although Huazi thought that this was just coaxing herself, she was still very happy in her heart.

Not long after, the carriage left the gate of the capital, which made Huazi even more strange, where was he going to take himself? Won't it ...... I was slightly shocked in my heart, but looking at the smiling face in front of me, it didn't seem like I was going to be unfavorable to myself, and my heart relaxed slightly.

The carriage went south for a long time, and finally stopped, and Huazi got out of the carriage and couldn't help but be stunned.

This is a beautiful forest?! The sounds of birds in the forest are bursting, and the shadows are mottled, and small animals that are frightened and flee can be seen everywhere.

Outside the woods, you can still faintly see a group of soldiers, what is this place? How could there be such a place outside the capital? Who is he? Huazi's doubts grew more and more, but soon, she was attracted by the beauty and aura of this forest.

This is actually the "Ming Garden" where the emperor and the princes and nobles usually hunt, Li He specially asked his grandfather for instructions today, and only then came here to play with Huazi after getting his approval.

Huazi naturally didn't know how to ride a horse, so Li He rode a horse with her, while Xiangxiang and Qianqian rode another horse, and Yang Jin followed closely with a bow and arrow.

Li He did not let the soldiers guarding the "Ming Garden" lead the way, but the five of them rode horses and strolled in the forest by themselves.

After a period of conversation, Huazi may have been affected by the atmosphere in the forest, and began to slowly relax and take the initiative to speak.

However, because he was sitting in Li He's arms, he would touch his body from time to time, and smell the manly breath on his body, Hua Zi felt that his body had always been soft and could not lift his strength.

She found that the two daughters beside Li He, Qianqian, were more kind, easy to talk, and had a very sweet mouth, and she always called Sister Hua and Sister Hua. Xiangxiang is more indifferent, or more indifferent to people other than Li He. He usually doesn't talk to other people, but when he faces Li He, he is obedient.

The original purpose of the few people was not to hunt, and Huazi was afraid of seeing blood, so they didn't hunt a single prey, but just played around in the forest, leaving bursts of laughter and laughter, and returned to the carriage.

When the soldiers guarding the carriage saw them returning, they consciously retreated, but before leaving, they saluted Li He, but did not say anything, and Li He only nodded to them. Let Huazi, who wants to guess his identity by his name, confused.

On the way back, Li He suddenly sang the song "Grass by the Qingqing River" in the carriage:

"The grass by the green river is not old.

Wildfires can't be burned, and wind and rain can't blow down.

The grass by the green river stretches to the cape.

The cape road is endless, and the lovesickness is not over.

……”

Singing and singing, Xiangxiang and Qianqian also joined together: "Whether it is as verdant as spring and summer and autumn and winter, no matter the north and south and the west and east, I hope to follow each other until the end of my life~"

Hua Zi had never heard such a song before, and she couldn't help but be fascinated by it, and when she sang it a second time, she could sing it with the three of them.

Amid the singing, the carriage returned to the capital. What surprised Huazi again was that the Yulin Army at the city gate actually let them in without checking the carriage. Although every time she went out of the city and entered the city in the past, Yulin Jun did not check the carriage, but you must know that it was because they had the identity card of Shangshufu. Ordinary people or low-ranking officials, even if they have a lot of money, have to be inspected when they enter the city.

Thinking of this, Hua Zi overturned the speculation in her heart that the man in front of her was a hero, and his identity would definitely not be so simple.

At this time, it was dusk, the sun was setting, and in the carriage, Huazi was saying goodbye to Qianqian. When I arrived at Suzaku Street, I accidentally lifted the curtain of the car and took a look, and I happened to see my grandfather Hua Mingxiong's carriage, Huazi exclaimed in surprise, and said to Li He urgently: "My grandfather is back!" What to do? ”

Li He lifted the curtain of the car and glanced at it, and said to Yang Jin, who was rushing in front of him: "Go up." ”

Yang Jin responded, and immediately whipped the horsewhip fiercely.

Hearing this, Hua Zi almost didn't fall off her seat, and actually used as the carriage of the Chao Shangshu on Suzaku Street, which ......

Qianqian next to her helped her, and the carriage suddenly began to accelerate, and it didn't take long to overtake Hua Shangshu in front. Immediately afterward, the scolding of the coachman of the carriage in which Hua Shangshu was riding came, but the scolding was only half shouted, and it immediately stopped abruptly, as if it was swallowed back into his stomach, which made Hua Zi puzzled.

There was a sound of dense footsteps in front of her, and Hua Zi's heart immediately rose again, she knew that she had met the Yulin Army on Suzaku Street.

But the strange thing was that the speed of the carriage did not decrease, but the group of Yulin soldiers stopped together, only to hear the sound of neat armor rubbing. Huazi couldn't help but pull up the corner of the curtain and look out in confusion, but saw that the dozen or so Yulin soldiers were saluting their carriage in unison?!

After a while, the carriage stopped outside the back door of Washington, and Li He directly entered the mansion with Huazi, and Xiangxiang followed closely behind. The subordinates in the mansion were still dormant in their respective postures, and Hua Shangshu had just dismounted in front of the gate of Washington at this time.

"I'll come back to you tomorrow." Li He smiled and pinched Huazi's palm, left this sentence and left.

Almost at the same time that Li He left Washington through the back door and Hua Shangshu entered the mansion through the gate, Washington was blown by a breeze with a faint fragrance, and hundreds of servants and family members of Washington instantly woke up from dormancy, looked at the sky that had turned dark in confusion, and patted their heads strangely.

"It's weird, how can you fall asleep while standing." Xiaobi muttered and stretched, rubbed her eyes, looked at the sky, and said softly to Hua Zi, who was still sitting beside the flower garden in the courtyard: "Miss, you have been sitting here all afternoon, why don't you go back to your room and rest for a while?" Wait for the slave to come and call you to eat. ”

Huazi looked up at the sky, and she didn't know what it was like. This...... Is it the first tryst in my life?

Li Erlang, who is he? Huazi's heart is full of doubts, but it is also full of contradictions: tomorrow ...... He said he would come to me tomorrow, should I go out with him?
