Chapter Forty-Eight: Watching the Fire from the Other Shore
Right now, Ruan Mingjiao would really be stupid if she couldn't see through the situation in front of her, her eyes flashed and she looked at Yan Zheng, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly as if she was watching a play. Yan Zheng's charm is really great, just when he came to Yanchun Tower that night to inquire about the news, he was able to capture the heart of the beauty in front of him.
She looked at Liu Niang sideways, Qianqian's thin waist, weak willow supportive wind, a face white and red, with a little shyness, eyebrows like Yuandai, thin lips ruddy like flames, but not coquettish, she has to love and pity, let alone those men outside, partial Yan Zheng, a big straight man, is still so shocked, leaving the beauty aside.
She looked at Liu Niang's face for a while, choked by Yan Zheng's cold attitude and didn't know how to reply, biting her lip and feeling slightly embarrassed, her eyes were full of moisture, as if she was going to cry out in the next moment.
She glanced at the person opposite and hurriedly persuaded her: "Girl, Lord Yan has a bad memory, but the girl has an extraordinary posture and is as beautiful as a flower, and the people who have seen it are naturally unforgettable at a glance." ”
Hearing her words, the originally embarrassing atmosphere was finally eased slightly, Liu Niang stood up straight, still looking at Yan Zheng, "Lord Yushi is busy with affairs, I can't remember the slave family, but it should be, it is the slave family who sees that the adult is extraordinary, and I don't want to see it today again, and I am surprised for a while, and I hope that the adult will not blame!" ”
Nguyen Minh Jiao: ......
Yes, in the eyes of this girl, except for Yan Zheng, she simply picked up a piece of hibiscus cake and put it in her mouth to taste it carefully, the entrance is sticky but not too sweet, just right, I didn't expect this Yan Chunlou to be a little medium.
She didn't look at the two of them, Yan Zheng glanced at her, she was so leisurely and comfortable to leave the trouble of Liu Niang to herself, Yan Zheng frowned, "Well, if it's okay, you can retreat first." ”
He said and put down the teacup in his hand, but Liu Niang seemed to have been instructed, and repeatedly lifted the teapot to pour tea for Yan Zheng, but before he could do so, Yan Zheng stretched out his hand and snatched his teacup, looking up at her, "No need, you can step back first, I still have something to discuss with the county lord." ”
His eyes were as black as ink, and there was no pity in his eyes, staring directly at Liu Niang, his voice was cold, and the estrangement in his words was not concealed.
She has never been so embarrassed, so humble, although she is in Hongchen's bones, she does not admit defeat, with her own backbone, it has always been a man who rushes to bow down in front of her, she has never been so humble and takes the initiative to ask a man to see her.
And Yan Zheng's gaze never left the county lord opposite him, the county lord is beautiful, has a good background, and her body shape and conversation are naturally better than her as a dusty woman, no matter how unwilling she is, she can only retain the last bit of dignity and hurriedly retreat.
"Gone?" Ruan Mingjiao went to correct Congfeng's actions just now, and when she came back, she saw that the beauty was gone, her eyes looked at Yan Zheng on the side, and she counted him, "If you want me to say, Yan Zheng, you better put on a less stinky face, you scared people and girls into crying." ”
"The county lord also said, I only know how to watch the fire from the other side, but I don't know how to help the officials relieve the siege, and I haven't had time to count the county lord and the county lord to blame me." Yan Zheng's eyes were like torches, only staring at her, and his tone was strange.
Ruan Mingjiao's back stiffened, his face was embarrassed, and he said haha, "Oh, it's not that I don't help you, you also saw it, as soon as the girl entered the courtyard, her eyes never moved away from you, it was clearly for you, and she shouldn't be able to hear me when I speak." ”
"Let's go, hurry up!"
Yan Zheng saw her playing with a poor mouth, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she was just about to speak, when a white-dyed voice sounded under the eaves of the corridor on the side, and the wind on the side stopped to look under the eaves.
The two people beside Bai Ran urged the little guy in front of him together, Yan Zheng's eyes were stunned, looked at the group of people who entered the courtyard, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”
"My lord, this kid has been hiding near the backyard, and he is sneakily eavesdropping on your words, if it weren't for his subordinates passing by and seeing it, I don't know how much he would have listened." Bai Ran took a few steps forward and reported to Yan.
As he spoke, the two guards behind him escorted the man forward, bending his legs and forcing the person in front of him to kneel.
"Who are you, and why are you sneaking eavesdropping?" Yan Zheng's eyes froze, and his gaze fell on the little guy kneeling in front of him.
"Adults are Mingjian, the small one is to send refreshments, not eavesdropping!" His body trembled slightly, but he still tilted his head, and his voice was eager to defend himself.
"Take people down and lock them up." Yan Zheng didn't listen to him, and waved his hand to let people take him down.
Ruan Mingjiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look at him, but seeing Yan Zheng's expression as usual, as if she had expected it, she turned her head and glanced around, only then did she realize that the surroundings were quiet and silent, and the breeze blew a dangerous breath, and some people stared at them.
As soon as she raised her eyes, she looked into a pavilion in Yanchun Tower, which was far away, but with her acuity, she could still see that when she looked over, a black shadow flashed quickly.
No wonder Yan Zheng didn't say anything just now, just pulled her to sit down, she retracted her gaze and looked at Yan Zheng, and the person opposite also looked at her, as soon as the two exchanged glances, they didn't say anything anymore, only lowered their heads and drank tea as if nothing had happened just now.
Yan Zheng was too eager to know the identity of Scar, the leader of Huajing Village, and almost ignored something, but when he calmed down, he realized it when he saw Fang Ming and the others again.
Huajingzhai is so arrogant, who is behind it, although Huajingzhai and the government have always been incompatible, but it is not for them to swagger down the mountain and say that they want to provoke the government.
The terrain of Panlong Mountain is dangerous, and they can use the terrain to avoid the government, but once they leave the mountain, it is more than enough to deal with them with the strength of the government, so they will not leave Panlong Mountain easily.
Now not only did they go down the mountain but they were also swaggering like this, just sending letters, and naming Yan Chunlou to come to Yan Chunlou seemed to be luring them into the game, Yan Zheng felt that something was wrong, their traces and plans might have been known, especially the news that Ruan Mingjiao went south with him.
If Ruan Mingjiao is kidnapped, the imperial court and Huajingzhai will be completely in flames, and those people will only have a dead end, and all this is too coincidental, as if someone is borrowing their hands to get rid of Huajingzhai.
Fang Ming and the others also behaved too ordinarily, and they also looked like they wanted to get rid of Huajingzhai, they had been talking about Huajingzhai's deeds over the years, Yan Zheng was afraid that he would make a mistake in judgment, so he had a temptation this morning, letting Bai Ran hide in the dark, and he didn't think he would really catch someone.
He detained people, but also wanted to give those people a little crisis, they were naturally afraid that the little guy would tell the plan, and they would inevitably take action, or stop Huajingzhai.
Bai Ran imprisoned the people, and then sorted out their people and went to the flower mirror village together. Yan Zheng held down Fang Ming and the others here, one was to trap them under his nose, even if they were really instructed, Yan Zheng stared at them and had no chance to go to the ventilating news, and on the other side, Ruan Mingjiao was actively rehearsing the dance with Congfeng.
Following.
In the blink of an eye, the next morning, last night Yan Zheng pulled Fang Ming and them to drink together until midnight, watched people fall asleep with his own eyes, and asked people to guard outside the three-person room to ensure that the three of them had no chance to contact outsiders, and then he went back to the private room prepared for him by Yanchun Tower to rest.
It's going to be a real headache, but I didn't see Ruan Mingjiao's shadow, Bai Ran was not there, Congfeng also followed Ruan Mingjiao, he rubbed his sore head, walked to the table and poured himself a cup of tea to relieve the smell of alcohol, and then opened the door and went out.
The building is not as quiet as yesterday, there was a disturbance in the morning, the courtyard was full of beauties dressed in red and green, all of them were slender, he squinted slightly and looked at the crowd, and saw Ruan Mingjiao's shadow clearly, and then retracted his gaze and walked down the steps alone.
"Have you memorized all the movements you were taught? It doesn't matter if it's good or not, just make a move, you know? ”
Ruan Mingjiao was rehearsing with Congfeng for the end, and it was impossible to expect a stiff and upright martial artist to instantly turn into a soft finger twister in a day's time, as long as he could remember the movements so that people could not see the clues.
"Don't worry, county lord, the minister will never retreat." From the wind also began to accept the fact that the man was dancing in disguise as a woman, and patted his chest excitedly, after all, the county bishop's dance was beautiful and not difficult, and the county lord also promised him to wait for him to dance and go back to tell him about his family, he was not happy now.
"Looks like you're well prepared."
The two were talking, Yan Zheng had already come to him, stopped his movements from the wind, and was just about to bow when Ruan Mingjiao glared back, and hurriedly corrected it, folded his hands at his side, and bowed a woman's salute, and said in a sharp voice: "I've seen adults." ”
Ruan Mingjiao was amused by his funny actions, and then looked at Yan Zheng with a smile, very angry, "How?" ”
Yan Zheng nodded, expressing his approval. Ruan Mingjiao saw that his face was a little ruddy, and the smell of wine on his body had not yet dissipated, as if she remembered something, she turned her head to look at Congfeng, "You go to the small kitchen and bring the honey water." ”
Stop from the wind and turn down.
"You have honey water?" Yan Zheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking.
"Knowing that you have a hangover, you must have a headache when you wake up in the morning, so let people prepare, right......" Ruan Mingjiao glanced around, pulling Yan Zheng's sleeve, trying to take him away from the crowd.
As soon as she got closer, the smell of incense powder on her body was like smoke to Yan Zheng's nose, but it was not so pungent, not like the fragrance powder of the girls next to her, she was a faint fragrance of osmanthus and not pungent, but light mixed with her unique taste.
Yan Zheng was stunned for a moment, and didn't react until her little hands left her sleeves and looked at him with a pair of big round eyes, "Fang Ming, they are also awake, but they are all drunk, and there are people next to them who see that they have not been in contact with anyone, you can rest assured." ”
She was dressed in silk and satin, and she was extremely slim and good-looking, with a pink and white belt around her waist raising the whole person a lot, and her swan neck was unusually fair, always looking up proudly.
couldn't stand her warm gaze, Yan Zheng looked away, and he didn't know if the hangover had not passed, and he was instantly red, Ruan Mingjiao didn't feel that there was anything wrong, and at this time, the one who went to get the honey water went back from the wind, and the two of them returned to normal.
