Volume 1: The Smoke Festival Chapter 13 The next set
Xie Wuyi lowered his voice and firmly controlled Xiao Wei, the dagger in his hand clinging to his flesh and skin.
There was only a dead silence in the courtyard.
Chu Yufeng was shocked, he didn't expect this thief to be so bold and reckless, he would dare to kidnap King Yan. But seeing Xiao Wei fall into her hands, he didn't know what to do. If the thief is ruthless, even if he has ten heads, it will not be enough to cut off.
"King Yan, huh?" Xie Wuyi looked around and continued to threaten, "Whoever dares to take a step forward, I will directly cut his throat." ”
Xu was drunk, Xiao Wei was soft, and he didn't realize the danger at first. And when he finally felt the chill on his neck, the wine suddenly woke up most of the time. Xiao Wei opened his mouth and looked at Chu Yufeng at a loss.
Although Chu Yufeng has also been on the battlefield, he is not an iron-blooded general, so he can only say loudly: "If you let go of Your Highness, this official may be able to spare your life." ”
Xie Wuyi snorted coldly, and the dagger in his hand tightened by two points.
"That...... He's quite picky," Xiao Wei weakly tilted his head and bargained, almost touching Xie Wuyi's face, "And his wife has a strict family education, you must not be able to steal private money here, why don't you leave?" ”
Was he talking drunk or was he excusing her?
The distance between the two was so close, Xie Wuyi's exhalation and inhalation were all the crisp wine breath exhaled by Xiao Wei, and he didn't feel a little fever on his face.
"Shut up."
Xiao Wei was really obedient, he didn't struggle, but leaned on her shoulder socket with Xie Wuyi's strength, and found a very comfortable and effortless posture.
Chu Yufeng couldn't hold it anymore, Xiao Wei embarrassed him in public, and he was very at the mercy of this thief, what kind of medicine was sold in this Yan King's gourd?
Are they in a gang?
But if Xiao Wei really wants something, does he need to send someone to steal it?
No wonder everyone says that Xiao Wei has a perverse temperament, and it seems that he is really uneducated. If it weren't for the luck of being born in the belly of Concubine Shu, how could it be compared to a fingernail of his son?
Well, Wu'er is still smart and clever, if they stand together, they will definitely compare Xiao Wei to the bottom......
Chu Yufeng was thinking wildly, Xie Wuyi had already taken Xiao Wei hostage and retreated to the door of Chu's mansion. Before Chu Yufeng could react, she pushed Xiao Wei forward, turned around and ran two steps, and disappeared with a jump.
Xiao Wei fell on Chu Yufeng's body and touched his neck fearfully. Chu Yufeng couldn't help frowning when he saw the red mark, and just wanted someone to chase him, but Xiao Wei put his hand on his shoulder and pulled him half-drunk and half-conscious.
"Lord Chu, save some face for this king." Xiao Wei said with a dark face, "What day will it be in ten days...... You won't forget, will you? ”
Chu Yufeng was full of joy, and the tenth day of August was the day of Xiao Wei's wedding.
Seeing Chu Yufeng's angry and frightened expression, Xiao Wei knew that he understood, so he turned his face and smiled: "It's not good if the matter is big, anyway, this king is not injured, just go back and let Jingzhao Yin check it." The princess of this king cannot be afraid...... You're right? ”
Having said that, Chu Yufeng has no other way but to obey. Xiao Wei dragged him to chatter for a while, and Feng Da and Cheng Yi followed the sound and helped Xiao Wei back to the palace.
Three streets away from Chufu, Xie Wuyi and Hua Feidu converged. Until she returned to Xie Mansion, her face was still a little hot.
The aroma of wine on Xiao Wei's body mixed with incense was still in his clothes, leaving behind his cheeks and ears, Xie Wuyi couldn't help but grab a fan and fan the wind.
Is this man drunk?
Hua Feidu's face was also very ugly, she didn't expect that her plan to divert the tiger from the mountain would be seen through by Chu Yufeng.
"Girl, how did you get out?"
Although he has been walking in the rivers and lakes for many years, it is not uncommon to come into contact with men, but when he thought that the two of them were close to each other just now, Xiao Wei seemed to be quite enjoyable, and Xie Wuyi felt a little awkward in his heart.
"Anyway, he just ran out......" Xie Wuyi quickly put aside Xiao Wei and changed the topic, "There is nothing abnormal in Chu Yufeng's study, he doesn't care about it." ”
Hua Feidu said worriedly: "You scared the snake tonight." ”
"That's exactly what I'm here to do." Xie Wuyi smiled slightly, "Scare him once, if there is really key evidence, he will protect it carefully, and we will have traces to follow." ”
The water is too quiet, so let's explore the way with Chu Yufeng first.
There is a problem with the road map of the military department, and he will not be able to escape the blame after all.
There was a disturbance at Chu Yufeng's house, and the wedding date had been set, Xie Wuyi stopped going out in the past few days, and prepared for marriage in the house with peace of mind. Xie Xuan still came to see her often to help her with affairs, and Xie Wuyi took advantage of him as a member of the ministry, and asked him about Qiao Chun's old friends intentionally or unintentionally, on the grounds that he needed to have a general understanding of the situation in the court and China to enter the palace.
The strange thing is that although Qiao Chun does not have many friends in the court, almost all of them have left Zeyang for various reasons, some are worried, some are transferred, and some have lost news for no reason.
It's weird.
After the foreshadowing was almost done, Xie Wuyi finally went back to the topic, "Brother Fang just talked about the military department, what kind of person is Lord Chu?" ”
"He is vigorous and resolute, and he has quite a lot of achievements, and His Majesty admires him very much." Xie Xuan thought for a while, and then said, "I heard that the military department lost the document a few days ago, and now the entire military department, especially Lord Chu's small room, has been defended several times over. ”
Xie Wuyi listened quietly and lowered his head to take a sip of tea. It was raining outside the window, but her heart gradually brightened.
It seems that the next step is to find an opportunity to break into that "military aircraft powerhouse".
It's okay, it's not without gains.
After confirming this, Xie Wuyi began to have a family relationship with Xie Xuanla. In fact, there is one thing she has always been curious about, Xie Xuan is almost the year old, and he is Xie Zongyi's eldest son, why has he not married a wife until now, not even a concubine? He also doesn't like to have fun, and his only hobby is planting bamboo in his small yard.
What's even more strange is that Xie Zongyi and his wife are not in a hurry at all.
"Forgive me for talking too much, why hasn't my brother ever married?"
Xie Xuan was stunned, and a smile immediately froze on his face. He turned his back and said with a smile: "A man must always start a business before starting a family." Besides, the little sister is a witch, so she can naturally hear what Wu Jin means. ”
flickered like this, and Wu Jin was also brought out, it seems that there is another hidden secret.
Everyone has secrets, Xie Wuyi knew that she was talking too much, she hurriedly eased the atmosphere, and laughed at herself: "If my brother doesn't marry again, my sister who is about to marry will be chewed on the root of her tongue." ”
"No one dares to talk about you." Xie Xuan said seriously, "Little sister, you will live the best life from now on, and no one will despise you anymore." ”
A burst of warmth rose in Xie Wuyi's heart, no matter what, Xie Xuan's care for her was sincere.
"As for being a brother, Wu Jin once said that I shouldn't marry in my life, so my father and mother didn't make a show for me." Xie Xuan straightened the bamboo leaf jade crown on his head, and bowed to Xie Wuyi, "Little sister, my brother still has official business today, so I won't stay much." ”
The rain became heavier and heavier, and Xie Wuyi saw through a window that the tired pine-green figure merged with the continuous green tiles, and stood at the door for a long time before leaving.
On the afternoon of the day before the wedding, Xie Wuyi and Hua Feidu came to the tavern where Zhu Langxing was drunk last time. Xie Wuyi looked up at Wanchun Tower opposite, everything was calm as usual.
What she saw that day should have been Xiao Wei.
Originally, Xie Wuyi was full of cases, and he didn't care who the person he wanted to marry was. But somehow, since he knew that King Yan was Xiao Wei, Xie Wuyi always panicked for no reason, and instinctively resisted getting involved with Xiao Wei.
Why did he marry her, was it to help her?
At this moment, an exclamation attracted the attention of the two.
Xie Wuyi walked towards where the voice came from, and saw that the three layers in front of a stall and the outer three layers were all surrounded by ordinary people, and in the middle was a fortune teller. She watched the crowd for a while, and learned that the fortune teller's name was Li Shanren, and that he had been here for several days, and when the people had drawn an unlucky lot, he said that the man had a calamity and needed a lot of money to avoid it.
Swindler.
Xie Wuyi crossed his arms and sneered.
Here, Li Shanren made a lot of money, put the silver he had just gotten into the cage on the left, and began to deceive a young woman with a burden. Xie Wuyi glanced at her baggage, there were dozens of taels of silver in it, which must be a huge amount of money for a girl dressed in her clothes.
The woman said that she was looking for her father and brother, and wanted to have a good fortune. When Li Shanren heard this, he asked her to choose one from a row of peach wood sticks. The woman hesitated for a long time before stretching out her finger, and Li Shanren opened it, and there were two broken sticks in her palm.
"A great omen." Li Shanren twisted his beard and sighed, "The peach wood is broken, and the family relationship is difficult to continue in the rough and difficult situation." If a girl wants to find a relative, it is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and even if she finds it, it is separated by yin and yang. ”
The woman's face turned white all of a sudden, and her hand involuntarily grasped the burden, "May I ask the chief...... Can it be solved? ”
"Hey, it's hard to disobey the destiny......" Li Shanren pinched the two broken sticks with his left hand and shook his head repeatedly, "But the old man sees that you are pious, so you may have a try." But I'm going to ask you—"
"I don't need her to pay," Xie Wuyi ignored Hua Feidu's obstruction, and pushed aside the crowd and stepped forward, "I can solve it now." ”
The woman raised her head in disbelief, only to see Xie Wuyi dusting off the dust on her skirt, and said to Li Shanren, "Borrow that peach wood stick and take a look." ”
Li Shanren was really stunned for a moment, and Xie Wuyi immediately asked with a meaningful smile: "What, is the Taoist chief afraid that the little woman will ruin your sign?" ”
She said so, Li Shanren couldn't refuse anymore, he trembled and handed over the two truncated sticks in the palm of his left hand to Xie Wuyi, and saw that when she turned her hand and opened it again, the two peach wood sticks miraculously merged into one.
The surrounding people exclaimed in amazement, and they all looked at Xie Wuyi with twelve points of worship. Li Shanren's neck was already sweating, and he unconsciously grasped the sleeve of his left hand.
In fact, this is a common trick in the western realm of Da Yu, the broken lot is hidden in the cuff pocket in advance, no matter which one is chosen by the person who comes to divination, as long as the hand speed is fast enough, the owner can quickly change the lot.
The people who come to divination, the old people are mostly their descendants, the young girls are mostly married, and the scholars are mostly futures, and they all have more or less expectations for the people they want to ask.
And Xie Wuyi saw through it at a glance, so when he approached Li Shanren, he took away the lottery that was replaced by him with lightning speed, and returned the favor to him in his own way.
Xie Wuyi gently placed the complete peach skewer in the woman's hand, and his gaze flickered over the fallen cloud bun that covered the small half of her face.
"Dare to ask the girl's name?"
"Slave family...... is named Ziqiao, and she is the singer of Wanchun Building. Ziqiao hugged her burden with red eyes, eager to bury herself in the dust.
"You'll get your way." Xie Wuyi patted her on the back gently, and seeing that Ziqiao still refused to look at him, he turned to Li Shanren, "Dao Chief, now you say that this girl is looking for relatives is auspicious or evil?" ”
Li Shanren's face was ashen, and he was choked for a long time before pointing at Xie Wuyi and said, "Demon, demon...... Right! Fathers and fellow villagers, this is the reincarnation of demons! ”
Wickedness?
The eyes of the onlookers changed slightly, but Xie Wuyi raised his eyebrows with interest. She opened her palm, threw the two broken sticks on the table, and ruthlessly debunked Li Shanren's tricks.
Xie Wuyi picked up the smoke and asked with a smile, "Do you still say that I am a demon?" ”
"Butterflies! She's a shrine maiden sister! ”
A little boy in the crowd was the first to react, and the people hurriedly knelt down. Seeing that the trick was revealed, Li Shanren rolled up the cover and fled, and Hua Feidu followed.
"Everyone, get up." Xie Wuyi put away the smoke and hurriedly returned the salute in all directions, "Wu Jin loves people, and he will be blessed with awe, don't be deceived by this kind of person in the future." ”
Everyone left, Xie Wuyi looked at Ziqiao's back as soon as the wind blew, and secretly thought in his heart that if the girls in Fengyue Field were like her, I was afraid that they would not be able to save any money in their lives.
Rao is like this, she still brings a lot of money to ask the good luck, and she is also a poor person.
Not daring to delay for too long, Xie Wuyi quickly chased to the Dingtou Alley that Li Shanren walked into, but he couldn't see half a figure, and even Hua Feidu said that he didn't see anyone.
A big living person disappears out of thin air in a dead end, and there must be a follow-up.
Xie Wuyi turned her head, she could just see the second floor of Wanchun Building here, and she didn't feel it.
Xiao Wei was monitoring in the room that day, using Zhu Langxing to attract her attention, and then using Li Shanren to lure her here, I am afraid that he is planning to set her up.
He still wanted to kill her.
Interesting.
"Hua Niang," Xie Wuyi seemed to be discussing with Hua Feidu, and seemed to be muttering to himself, "Let's scrape together some money and find a chance to redeem Ziqiao." ”
