Chapter 057: Not Bad
With Akisi's keen five senses, if someone was watching, she would definitely notice it as soon as possible, but Wei Shu searched through her memories, but she couldn't find any news related to it.
Why didn't Hua Zhen send someone to keep an eye on Akisi's contact with the Song people?
What is the reason for throwing bait but not hooking it at all?
"I heard that the Balan family escaped a Song slave, do you know about this?" Hua Zhen's voice came, pulling Wei Shu's thoughts back.
She shook her head slowly: "The maid hasn't heard of it. ”
Hua Zhen was silent, but Wei Shu caught a glimpse of it out of the corner of her eye, and she seemed to be a little disappointed.
Could that fugitive slave be a dead broken army?
The white-soaked corpse on the edge of the well wall came to mind, but Wei Shu was not very sure in his heart, but he vaguely felt that something was centered on the Balan family, spreading to the outside in a strange and unpredictable situation, and there seemed to be more than one force pushing it.
Zhou Shang: Are they also one of those forces?
Wei Shu thought, and then, that strange feeling resurfaced.
Hanama is so relieved of Akis.
But in the end, this is not a family infighting, but a military affair, related to the fate of the Nadan family, why is Hua Zhen's attitude so careless...... No, it's not just careless, but doing whatever you want, as if the gains and losses of this city and place can't affect the overall situation at all.
She's ...... Certainty.
Wei Shu's heart suddenly tightened.
Indeed, Hua Zhen's attitude is a kind of certainty. In Hua Zhen's eyes, Aqisi is just a very small chess piece, and she has a bigger hole card in her hand.
After thinking about it all her life, Wei Shu suddenly found that she seemed to have overlooked one thing:
Ye Fei and Zhou Shang were almost transparent in Hua Zhen's eyes, did this also show that it was not only Hua Zhen who was watching them in White Frost City? And the reason why Hua Zhen didn't send anyone to keep an eye on Aqisi is also because she only sees Aqisi as one of the sources, not the whole of it?
If we take this as a premise, we can derive a chilling inference:
Ye Fei and Zhou Shang may have more than one pair of eyes hidden.
Hua Zhen and the big force behind her are also staring at them.
Wei Shu's heart was raised, but in her ears, she heard Hua Zhen smile and say:
"Akis, tell me, if I tell my father the news, will my father praise me for being smarter than my eldest brother?"
Sure enough, in the end, I still can't get rid of these things in the back house.
Wei Shu raised her head slightly, but saw Hua Zhen looking at her expectantly, her innocent face was like a child waiting to be praised, which made people can't help but want to get close.
But Wei Shu knew that that sweet face was just a sheepskin draped on a wolf's body, and the people who died under Hua Zhen's hands were no less than the Mangtai father and son who fought on the battlefield, and it was obviously not a wise move to offend either of the two brothers and sisters, and the smart thing to do was:
"The handsome man is very powerful...... It's very powerful, and Dashuai will definitely be able to ...... Whoever can arrest all these spies and ask them for their crimes. ”
Wei Shu made an answer in a trembling voice that paused slightly.
Hua Zhen raised her fingers and tapped her chin, looking straight at Wei Shu, and gradually, her eyes added some other meanings:
"Aqisi, I remember your Central Plains saying, it's called 'too much'."
What she said was the official dialect of the Great Song Dynasty, although the pronunciation was a little stiff, but the words were clear and the tone was correct, if you closed your eyes and listened, she was almost the same as the Song people, and then she changed back to the golden language, and her voice was as sweet as mixed with honey:
"When I say you're stupid, Akis, you'd better be really stupid. Otherwise, I'll be tempted to kill you. ”
She dragged out her voice, and the smile on her face was very cute: "It's like now, I suddenly feel that you are not stupid at all. ”
"Son-of-law...... The servant didn't dare to ...... Beg...... Ask the master to spare his life...... Wei Shu stiffly bent her knees slightly, as if her whole body had lost the strength to move, and she couldn't kneel on the ground, but she used this to hide her obsession of refusing to kneel to this golden girl.
The breath between the western shoots had never gone away, and the master must have received Hua Zhen's order to secretly guard the side in case of accidents.
Hua Zhen is not unwary of Akis.
This little chess piece who obeyed his dispatch and ambushed beside Gude and Song Spy, although he was not valued by his master, he was never completely trusted by his master.
It seems that this golden girl is not convinced by the phrase "employing people without doubt".
Hua Zhen supported her hand with her hand, and looked at Wei Shu, who was pale not far away, with a smile, and her eyes narrowed again.
The cold light of the eyes is caught by the long eyelashes, like the remnants of snow that has never melted in the sun.
Eventually, she softened the gloom, and a smile resurfaced on her face.
"You Munahetai are really interesting, sometimes I think you can stand up straight, but you always kneel faster than anyone else, and you are willing to do anything for a rotten life, and you can throw anything away."
Raising his hand to pull the gold bead pendant in his ear, Hua Zhen said in his usual delicate voice:
"I see, you don't deserve the name Mu Nahetai at all, because you are even more useless than pigs and dogs, and if we hadn't kindly raised you, you would have gone to fill in the city walls."
Unhurriedly, she stood up and looked out the window.
The yellow sheep's horn lanterns swayed in the wind, the colored candles of the Baihua Courtyard were scattered, the flowers and trees were broken, the ground under the corridor had already been wet by the heavy rain, and the servants waiting outside the house were also half-dazed, but they all did not move like clay sculptures and wood carvings.
"Aqisi, for the sake of you wanting to be a cheap seed so much, I will leave you with this cheap life, you have to keep it well, don't let me always want to feed you to my little yellow."
This is Hanama's final warning.
The name of the spotted tiger was Xiao Huang.
"Thank you, Master, for your grace." Still the words that flowed out without thinking, Wei Shu's eyes were lowered, and she maintained a posture of curtsiness.
Hua Zhen seemed to have lost interest in her, lazily looked out the window for a few breaths, and called in a voice: "Come on, change clothes, and then go to someone to see what my father is doing." ”
As soon as the words came out, the clay sculpture and wood carving finally moved, several maidservants took umbrellas and quickly walked out of the courtyard gate, thinking that they were going to the front yard to inquire about the news, and Hua Zhen's personal slave girl went to the inner room to bring a diamond mirror, makeup box and other things, quietly surrounded Hua Zhen, dressed her up, and was careful not to touch her skin.
Hua Zhen doesn't like to be close to people when she pees, and she only needs to be served by one person in bathing and changing, and now that she is getting older, her temperament has changed a lot, but this habit has been maintained.
Because she didn't get the master's instructions, Wei Shu stayed where she was on her knees and didn't move, until Hua Zhen passed by in a new dress and said softly, "Get out", she buried her head and withdrew from the main room with the most humble attitude.
The night rain is still urgent, the flowers and plants in the courtyard are half down, the wind sweeps through the empty courtyard, the colored lanterns are gorgeous, and even the spotted tiger in the tiger cage in the next courtyard is silent.
Wei Shu walked slowly across the courtyard, and her figure gradually disappeared into darkness.
