Chapter Twenty-Three

Yuhuatai, she grabbed Zhou Xiaoxiao and asked, "Xiaoxiao, are you going to Mrs. Yu to help her take care of the flower garden today?" Can you bring me along? ”

Zhou Xiaoxiao glanced at her and said contemptuously: "Shi Jingyou, you are really interesting, when I kindly invited you to join me, not only did you not appreciate it, but you also got angry with me." Which one is singing today? ”

She thought to herself that her husband could bend and stretch, and in order to save people, it was worth being scolded twice. So he lowered his posture and complained: "I'm sorry, I didn't know what to do that day, and I was disrespectful." It was only later that I realized what a great opportunity it was to be able to show up in front of Madame Jade. But don't worry, I'm measured, I won't steal your limelight, as long as I can make a little bit of a small profit, I will be satisfied. ”

Zhou Xiaoxiao thought that if he went alone, he might be tired and unpleasant, so he agreed: "Okay, I can warn you, don't disturb me and Madame Yu to catch up." ”

She replied with a smile: "No, no, today I will make up for it, I will only take care of the flower garden, and I will go back to the Yuhuatai after I am done, and I will never mix." ”

At sunset, the two went to Muhua Palace together, she finished cleaning the flower garden before Madame Yu woke up, while Zhou Xiaoxiao waited for Madame Yu's arrival in the courtyard.

"Xiaoxiao, I'm back to the Imperial Flower Terrace, if they ask, I'll say that Mrs. Yu left you to enjoy the flowers and eat tea." She said as she walked out, and Zhou Xiaoxiao nodded with satisfaction.

She knew that once Xiaoxiao had the opportunity to go out this week, she would not honestly return to Yuhuatai, and when Yuhuatai saw that they had not returned, she would think that she had been delayed at Madame Yu's place, and she did not dare to ask, so that she could participate in the plan to rescue the Qingke with confidence.

Back at home, Yuming and the others were making arrangements in full swing, and they were overjoyed to see her come back.

After a while, Wen Yeting also arrived, and joked to her: "I didn't expect you to really slip out, it seems that I have to guard against you in the future." ”

She glared at him and said, "Tonight, Chaoyan and Xiyan and I will set up an ambush in the temple, and when the time comes, you will blend into the shadow guard, don't go to the front." We'll take advantage of the chaos to deal with the others first, and then you'll join us in the Shadow Guard. ”

Wen Yeting nodded and said: "Understand, Wei Yun has already gone to Muhua Palace to entangle Wang Miao at this time, if nothing else, there should only be Yingyiwei tonight, everyone don't fall in love, it's important to save people, and fight quickly." ”

Everyone bowed their heads and prepared to go to the ruined temple on the outskirts of the city, while Yuming stayed here and waited for answers. Walking near the ruined temple, Wen Yeting found a hidden tree on the spot and climbed to the top of the tree, which was not only easy to observe, but also to take advantage of the darkness to unconsciously blend in with the shadow guard.

The three of them went to the broken temple and lined up the troops, she hid beside the Buddha statue and waited for the opportunity to move, while Chaoyan and Xiyan waited for the signal fireworks on both sides of the broken temple, and then pretended that they were also the ones who came to connect after receiving the signal.

When the time came, Wei Yun successfully stopped Wang Miao and forced Wang Miao to accompany him to drink, but Wang Miao was afraid of him and had to obey, so he privately ordered Tao Xuanju to lead the team to the broken temple.

"Xuanju, this prince of Qin Du doesn't know what is crazy today, you must pay attention when you arrive, those women are good at poison arts, try to hold your breath when you enter the broken temple, and act according to the plan if there is no abnormality. You should understand that this operation must only succeed and not fail, otherwise it will ......," Wang Miao whispered to Tao Xuanju.

"My subordinates understand." After that, Tao Xuanju selected the elite soldiers of the Shadow Clothes Guard and took the Qingke to the outskirts of the city.

When they arrived in the woods near the ruined temple, Tao Xuanju and his party kept a distance of about eight feet from the Qingke, who was crouching beside the haystack, waiting for the signal to fireworks.

She peeked out of the ruined temple and saw that the fluorescent pollen marks left by the trees had been obscured by the black shadows, so she knew that the time had come, and released signal fireworks through the gaps, while Chaoyan and Xiyan ran in from both sides of the ruined temple gate, and Qingke quickly followed.

After everyone saw Qingke come in, Chao Yan stepped forward to support her, walked behind the Buddha statue to hide, and the other two jumped to the beams on both sides of the door.

Over there, Tao Xuanju saw that the lights in the broken temple were already on, so he ordered to rush in, while Wen Yeting took advantage of the situation to hide at the end of the line.

The two shadow guards led by him pushed open the door, and the others rushed in, but saw that the temple was empty, Tao Xuanju was aware of the fraud, and shouted "Hold your breath!" ”。 Suddenly, the lights in the temple went out, it was pitch black, everyone was messed up, and inadvertently stepped on the mechanism they had laid before, and they were hung high in the center of the temple.

Seeing this, Tao Xuanju shouted loudly: "The rest of the men guard the door, don't let them run away!" So two men stood firmly at the door.

At this time, Wen Yeting paced in front of the two of them, drew his two-handed sword, stabbed long and stabbed shortly, and in an instant, before the two of them could react, they had been attacked and killed.

Tao Xuanju turned around to fight with Wen Yeting, she also jumped down when she saw this, and the two fought against Tao Xuanju together.

Xiyan jumped to the Buddha statue, fired a hidden arrow to kill the hanging people in turn, and helped Qingke to go out with Chaoyan.

Seeing this scene, she jumped and led Tao Xuanju outside the temple. At this time, Chao Yan took the opportunity to escape from the temple, and Xi Yan got on the horse with an arrow and left in a heroic manner.

Wen Yeting stepped forward and struggled to restrain Tao Xuanju's long knife, she wanted to take advantage of the situation to seal her throat with a sword, but when she was approaching, she saw Tao Xuanju's hand holding the long knife raised vigorously, and shot a dark arrow from her sleeve, pointing at her with lightning speed.

Wen Yeting put away his sword, flew and grabbed her and fell down, and the arrow peak swept under her earlobe, cutting a small opening.

The two fell to the ground, Tao Xuanju saw that the two were very difficult, and he didn't want to spend any more energy on them, so he took the opportunity to chase after Xiyan and his party, hoping to catch them all.

Wen Yeting saw that Tao Xuanju had already walked away, so he carefully helped her up: "It's okay, let me take a look." ”

Seeing that blood was oozing from her earlobe, Wen Yeting quickly covered the wound with a handkerchief in distress, leaned over and blew, and asked, "It doesn't hurt, right?" ”

She was made uncomfortable by his call, and replied, "Oh, it was fine, but you might be okay with this." ”

Wen Yeting smiled, helped her pat off the dust on her body, and said, "Let's go, go in and pick up Mrs. out." ”

The two entered the broken temple together, and when they saw Qingke sitting on the ground at this time, she hurriedly helped Qingke up and asked Wen Yeting, "What about the horse?" ”

"It's on the right side behind this temple, I don't know if the Chaoyan girls have come back ......"

The three of them were walking out, and they saw Chao Yan and Xi Yan waiting outside the temple, covered with mud, and said to Yan: "I saw that the man was chasing the carriage away, let's leave quickly, lest he find out that Zhongji has come back." ”

Xi Yan teased: "Chao Yan can at least use that scarecrow pad, I jumped off the carriage and almost didn't fall to kill me, but fortunately, I reconnoitred the terrain in advance and found a depression, but I fell all over in mud." And Chaoyan and I watched you fight over there for a long time, and I also got bitten by mosquitoes for a long time. ”

She scoffed and said, "Thank you for your hard work." But I still have to work hard for you and Chaoyan to send my aunt back, and I'm going to rush back to Yuhuatai. ”

Chao Yan nodded, then helped Qingke to get on the horse, and the three of them rushed to the place where Yuming was.

She turned around and saw Wen Yeting still in place, tilting her head to look at him, "What are you still doing here?" ”

Wen Yeting walked forward and said: "Cai Cai, you have no conscience when you say this, I just ignored my dignified appearance and dignified body, and threw myself on the ground without saying a word in order to save you, and now you ask me what I am doing here, but it is really 'I was going to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch'." ”

"Eh, no, you always drop your bookbag like this? Can you speak well? I mean, if you don't go back, you don't necessarily want to wait here for that person to come back and fight? She said as she caught up with him.

"I'm going to send you back to the Imperial Flower Terrace! You volunteered to be part of the operation that day, and I promised Madame that I would personally return you intact, have you forgotten? ”

After saying that, Wen Yeting leaned over and looked down at her earlobe, and muttered, "It's just that this earlobe is broken." ”

Wen Yeting wanted to reach out to touch it, but she hurriedly slapped his hand, stepped back, and replied with a red face: "Okay, it's okay, let's go!" ”

Wen Yeting walked quickly with her to the Imperial Flower Terrace, and when she reached the side door, she was a little hesitant, Wen Yeting asked, "What's wrong?" ”

She looked at the edge of the wall of the Imperial Flower Terrace and sighed, "It seems a little high." ”

In the past, light skills have always been her weakness, she is a little afraid of heights, and every time she practices light exercises, she is too scared to look down.

Wen Yeting grinned, she looked a little like the one she knew at the beginning, and teased: "What? Our unparalleled harvesting, does it turn out to be weak? Are you afraid of heights or are you not skilled enough to fly? ”

She gave him a blank look, and was eager to try, but Wen Yeting suddenly grabbed her waist and shook her waist, but she was at a loss, so she had to put her hand in Wen Yeting's broad arm, and the two of them flew to the edge of the wall together.

"Cai Cai, you seem to be heavier." Wen Yeting said to himself.

She was shocked and scolded: "Has anyone ever told you that if you speak to a woman like this, you will have your tongue cut out?" ”

Wen Yeting hurriedly smiled: "No, don't get me wrong, Caicai, I just said it to myself, and encourage me to study and practice more diligently in the future, so that I can always pick you up easily." ”

"Tell me again, believe it or not, I'm pushing you down." She wrenched his arm away and made a gesture to push him.

"Okay, I was wrong, you go in quickly, I see that there is no one here. Remember to take care of the wound later, don't leave a scar. Wen Yeting begged for mercy.

She glanced down, took a deep breath, and told him by the way: "Got it, you go back and be careful, I'm leaving." Then he jumped into the courtyard, beckoned him gently, and walked to his room, vaguely feeling that his face was a little hot.

When I walked into the room, I saw that Jiang Ning hadn't slept yet, and had been waiting for her to come back, and when I saw that she finally pushed the door in, I pulled her to sit down quickly, and asked, "Little stone, tell me honestly, where have you been?" ”

She was a little panicked when Jiang Ning asked her like this, she couldn't lie the most. I had to swallow and say: "Oh, I sneaked to my house on the way back from Muhua Palace, and the last time I saw my aunt unwell, I couldn't rest assured and took the opportunity to go back and take care of her." ”

Jiang Ning was relieved, "Oh, it's okay, I just feel strange, how could you ask Zhou Xiaoxiao to take you to Mrs. Yu again, I thought you must have some kind of trouble, so that's the case." Later, Sister Awan came to ask me, why didn't I see you, I glanced at it and found that Zhou Xiaoxiao didn't come back, so she said that you two went to Mrs. Yu together and didn't return, so she didn't ask. ”

Seeing that she was so understanding, she thanked her: "Thank you, Jiang Ning." ”

Jiang Ning waved her hand, but saw that there was a little blood stained on her ears, and said in a panic: "Why are you bleeding!" Show me! ”

"I accidentally scratched it when I just went out, and I'm about to come back to deal with it, it's no big deal, don't worry."

Jiang Ning hurriedly took out the medicine bag from the drawer, carefully wiped the wound for her, and gently blew it, asking softly, "Does it hurt?" She shook her head.

I saw that under the candlelight, the figures of the two people swayed on the window curtains with the autumn wind, if they were about to leave, and gradually drifted away, I don't know if if they waited until everything was revealed, whether you were still this you.
