Chapter 244: The Son (1)
Time flies by under the guidance of one person and the hearty play of one person.
The day is waning, the statue of the woman is from a plain and simple and rough stone statue, with a fine vein, although it is not vivid, very realistic, but there is no doubt that it is about to be sculpted successfully.
Zheng Quqi stared at her from behind, and the cold sweat on her head was already dry.
She secretly pinched a cold sweat, recalling that when she stopped Gan Xin from killing, she was really bold enough.
In fact, at the beginning, she was just pretending to be calm, and she didn't know what would turn out in the end, just like she couldn't get her whim, whether Gan Xin could catch it or not.
Fortunately, he is perceptive, he is also a craftsman and aesthetic, she did not show him an image of the statue of a good woman, but only designed some standard ranges for him, so that he can carry out personal artistic creation within a safe range and strength.
The height of the eyebrows and eyes, the thickness of the nose and lips, and the proportion of the face and ears are fat and thin, all of which have to be measured by himself to make up his mind.
The sculpture as a whole is like a blooming flower, exuding a fresh atmosphere, her silhouette is smooth, highlighting a strong sense of fitness, there is no doubt that she is a vibrant, optimistic woman.
This is the character characteristics and form shown by Gan Xin.
I don't know where he referred to the inspiration and design of the characters when he was creating, and he actually portrayed such a female image that is different from the current public lady's aesthetics.
Gan Xin was still distracted and continued to carve, Wang Zebang and Wei Yao finally received the news and were late, they hurriedly rushed over to quickly inspect the scene, and after clarifying the situation, they strode to Zheng Quqi's side: "Madam, are you okay?"
When Zheng Quqi saw them, her heart suddenly felt like she had eaten a scale, and at this time she was more confident.
"I'm fine." She shook her head.
There were obvious traces of fighting around the woman's good Jingyun, and most of the Xuanjia soldiers who came with his wife this time were wounded, so they immediately looked at Gan Xin on the pedestal with unkind eyes.
"He's ......"
Zheng Quqi lowered his voice and exchanged news with them: "He is Gan Xin, the one from the Mo family who gave the name Crazy Knife, you know, right?"
"Is it him?!" Wei Yao and Wang Zebang's faces immediately changed.
"Yes, and I suspect it's all the robbery equipment he's built for the bandits."
Wei Yao's serious and solemn expression, when he saw Gan Xin holding his weapon and stabbing left and right on the stone statue, he couldn't help but ask: "Then what is he doing now?"
Zheng Quqi said, "Sculpture."
Wang Zebang's eyelids jumped when he heard this, and he simply took over the words and continued to ask, "Why is he here all of a sudden...... Sculpture?"
Lan Yue said with a look of "all this development is as bizarre as a dream": "It's Madame who is fooling, no, it's Madame who recognized Gan Xin's demeanor as a master craftsman before, he didn't believe it, Madame continued to ignore it, no, it's guidance, so he asked him to take this statue of a good woman to practice first."
Wang Zebang and Wei Yan heard the words and stayed for a while.
「…… And so did he believe?"
The four of them, including Lan Yue, nodded heavily: "He believes it!"
Wang Zebang and Wei Yao: "......"
I haven't heard anyone say that Gan Xin's brain is not good.
If the four Blue Moon knew their thoughts, they would definitely say that you didn't know anything about Madame's flickering techniques.
At this time, Gan Xin finally stopped working, and he looked at a new "statue of a good woman", completely abandoning all the sounds around him, and completely immersed himself in his own artificiality and artistic atmosphere.
He looked at this "freshly baked" statue, and said in a tone that he couldn't hide his excitement: "Lao Tzu has succeeded!"
No, it was Madame who succeeded.
Zheng Quqi is the first person to see the stitches, this head just talked to Wei Yao and them, and immediately gave him an exaggeration and encouragement: "It's done very well, and you can reach it the first time."
At this point, you do have some insight in you."
Gan Xin lived so big, he was praised quickly, who would praise and encourage a big man, he was on the way to pursue craftsmanship, and he suffered all kinds of disappointed eyes and sighs of disdain for him, as if everyone was telling him - you can't, you give up, don't waste time on useless things.
No one can afford to boast about it, and if he can, then continue to sugar-coat him, so that he will be dizzy.
Gan Xin stared at a pair of tiger eyes, an eight-foot giant, eager to learn: "If I want to learn wood carving, can I do it?"
"It's not a big problem." She replied conservatively.
"Can you teach me?" He asked again.
At this time, Zheng Quqi was about to start taking Qiao, and she said, "I will only teach my students."
This is enough to imply that if you want to learn, you can, abandon the darkness and turn to the light, she will not bother to teach a person who is hostile.
"I can't be your student." Gan Xin decisively refused.
He looked at Wang Zebang and Wei Yao, these two people he had seen when he was secretly listening, and he also recognized their identities, and when Gan Xin looked at Zheng Quqi again, his eyes were completely different from before.
Gan Xin is not stupid, but he usually acts more intuitively, and he doesn't like to be able to brain.
"You are Yu Wensheng's bride, Zheng Quqi?"
The two cronies who could call Yu Wensheng appeared at the same time, and he couldn't think of anyone else who obeyed her.
Zheng Quqi replied simply: "Yes."
Yu Wensheng's bride is actually Zheng Qing of Ye Guo, who is now being targeted by all countries!
Gan Xin's breath sank: "Everything you did before was just to lure me in?"
"Yes."
He asked again, "Do you want me to turn my back on the Mo family and join your camp?"
"Yes."
Zheng Quqi was calm in his heart, so he answered very smoothly.
Gan Xin stared at Zheng Quqi for a long time, and then glanced around at the people around her.
Under his oppressive eyes, it was difficult for anyone to be calm, at least Wei Yao and Wang Zebang, they felt a deep and terrifying sense of threat arise spontaneously, and their whole bodies couldn't help but tense up, exerting all their vigilance to fight against this momentum.
"It's not okay, I'm Gan Xin, one yard is one yard, I have to give them an explanation for the Mo family's affairs, but Zheng Qing ...... I'll be back to you."
As soon as Gan Xin's words fell, he swept with a knife, the wind was whistling, blowing on people's faces like needles, they hurriedly hid their faces and turned around, and then turned back when everything subsided, Gan Xin next to the statue of the woman had disappeared without a trace.
Call...... Everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that evil god was gone.
Among them, the loudest is Zheng Quqi, how brave she was before, and how cowardly she is now.
Wei Yao couldn't help but laugh: "Madam, I thought you weren't afraid of him?"
Looking at her comfortable response to Gan Xin just now, he really thought that her newborn calf was not afraid of tigers.
Zheng Quqi's back was actually drenched in sweat, but she couldn't retreat, if she retreated, then they might have been wiped out by the group at this time.
"How can you not be afraid? It's especially uncomfortable to feel like you're in someone else's hands."
After saying her true feelings, she remembered what the two of them had done: "You're back, and the matter of the bandits has been settled?"
"That's right, we found out that they were trying to escape to the south with that assassin, and there were a group of mysterious people on the way to cover for them, before I and Zebang didn't know why, but now I know that they plan to escape to the territory of the Mo family." Wei Yao said.
It sounds like this relationship is really a bit complicated, the sword-wearing guards of the first queen of Ye Guo joined forces with the Mo family, who has never dealt with Ye Guo, what is the situation, it can't be an enemy of an enemy, it's a friend, right?
"Then the net can be closed, and they must not be allowed to escape, especially since the key to all of this is the Assassin, and he must be found out."
Wang Zebang said, "We think the same way, don't worry, madam,
We've been prepared for anything, and they can't escape."
——
As soon as she returned to the camp, after Zheng Quqi had eaten and drunk enough, she only felt that the physical and mental exhaustion of this period of time struck, and she waited and waited for people to fall asleep unconsciously, and she had no dreams until dawn.
She woke up suddenly.
After a full night's sleep, Zheng Quqi was refreshed at this time, with his eyes full of energy and a clear mind.
She stood up with a lazy waist, and when she looked outside, it was already blue and white.
"What time is it?" She shouted outside.
The guard outside the tent immediately replied, "Madame Hui, it's already hour."
"Then Adjutant Wang and Wei Guard, did they come last night?" Zheng Quqi asked while taking care of himself.
She slept in a daze last night, and by her body's instinct, she touched the bed from her office position to sleep, but she herself had no impression at all.
"I came here once last night, but when Madame had already fallen asleep, Adjutant Wang and the others left, and they also came once this morning, and left after waiting for about half an hour."
I went to her twice in a row one night and one morning, and it seemed that she was either in trouble or had something to report to her, but according to her guess, it must be the former.
"And what about them now?"
"Adjutant Wang, when they left, told me that if Madame wakes up and wants to look for them, she can go directly to the dungeon."
Zheng Quqi finished his breakfast and hurried to the dungeon.
As soon as she entered, she heard the prisoners in the prison shouting "stop" in excitement and anger, while Wang Zebang and Wei Yao were holding soldering irons like villains, facing the assassin who had been interrogated and had fainted, and was about to press it.
Zheng Quqi: "......"
"Stop!"
This voice was not shouted by others, but Zheng Quqi.
When Wang Zebang heard this, he turned his head and saw that it was the general's wife who came, so he stopped what he was doing.
"Ma'am."
They lowered their eyebrows and saluted Zheng Quqi.
And the road bandits in the prison also looked at Zheng Quqi in unison, this time they were recaptured, they were obviously far less energetic than the first time, everyone's eyes were full of depression and unwillingness, as well as worries and fears for the future.
Zheng Quqi walked over quickly, took off the soldering iron in Wei Yao's hand and threw it back into the charcoal basin: "Don't fix this yet, let me ask you two something."
Seeing that Zheng Quqi stopped them and continued to torture the black-clothed assassins, the excited road bandits and others did not continue to yell and tried their best to stop them.
Seeing that Mrs. did not allow them to continue the execution, Wei Yao and Wang Zebang did not say anything, they seemed to have become accustomed to obeying her orders and unconditionally obeying her.
"Madame, please."
Zheng Quqi reached out and cupped the assassin's face, looked left and right, and asked, "Have you seen King Ye?"
Although the two of them felt that this question was too fanciful and had nothing to do with what was happening now, they still replied honestly, "Yes."
Zheng Quqi looked at the assassin for a long time, then hesitated, "Then he ...... Like King Ye?"
She pointed at the assassin, her eyes drifting to Wang Zebang and Wei Yao, asking for answers.
Wei Yao was shocked: "What?!"
Wang Zebang's brows furrowed, and he stared at the assassin suspiciously: "He, is he like King Ye? Ye Wangsheng has a pair of phoenix eyes......
"He has his eyes closed, I can't see clearly, do you remember when he opened his eyes, was it a pair of phoenix eyes?"
"Yes......"
Zheng Quqi's eyes flickered, and she said, "Isn't there a simplest way to be sure?"
She looked at Wei Yao.
Dawning on his senses, he stepped forward and ripped open the Assassin's shirt to examine the back of his neck, where he found a red mark.
Wei Yao was shocked: "How could it be ......?"
Zheng Quqi also leaned over to take a look, and an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes: "It's really true."
When Wei Yao heard her say this, she couldn't help but ask, "Madam, how do you know?"
"I dreamed last night, and I dreamed it suddenly."
Of course, this is a fool.
In fact, it was on the road that she tried to sort out what had happened recently.
She remembered that the first time she saw this assassin was in the Wujue Temple in Yongfeng Mountain in the Julu Kingdom, and he didn't know who sent him to assassinate Yu Wensheng, but the mission failed and he was captured on the spot.
She didn't think much of it at the time, but when she looked back afterwards, she felt a lot of doubts.
If he assassinated a top master like Yu Wensheng, how could such an assassin of the Light Sect succeed easily?
Isn't this a deliberate delivery?
This is the first suspicion.
Later, if the public loses, it also gives her a conjecture.
At the beginning, he was sure that even if Yu Wensheng returned to Ye Kingdom, he would have a big trouble, as if he knew some secrets.
The assassin sent by the Bamboo Forest Pavilion of Wujue Temple at the beginning, and now the assassin that the bandits want to rescue, will this assassin have anything to do with Yu Wensheng's troubles?
If so, then what kind of trouble will he bring to Yu Wensheng?
She thought of the missing Da Shizi again, she thought that Xing'an, who could make the bandits obey the order, was the Da Shizi, but he was not, they also came here to save people, he was thinking, the person who could make the road bandits go to great lengths to save would definitely not be irrelevant.
After a few thoughts, she came up with a bold guess.
Wang Zebang also didn't expect it: "His Royal Highness the Prince of Ye, who has been searching for many years without success, is actually in our hands......
"Are we doing this a meritorious service?" Zheng Quqi asked curiously.
Wei Yao: "Sort of......
But Zheng Quqi twisted his eyebrows, but he let out a deafening question: "Is it okay for people to be abused like this?"
Wang Zebang and Wei Yao brushed their faces green: "......"
It should still be able to be counted, but it really doesn't work, it's always okay to offset the merits.
