Late at night, the moon was cold, and the light of a house was still shining, and it was obvious that the people in the house had not yet slept peacefully.

The house was filled with a sweet fragrance, and a slender woman was grooming in the mirror, looking forward to it alone. The fair-skinned and snowy soft wattle lightly grasped the tooth comb, crossed in the green silk like a waterfall, and the bronze mirror reflected an eyebrow like a spring daisy, and the eyes like a wave like a flower. There is a Qingniu Palace lamp in front of the mirror, and the light is lit up and down with the night breeze outside the house, and even the woman's face is flickering and dimming.

The woman seemed to be completely unaffected by the light, and was still grooming herself. The eyebrow pencil is skillfully applied, curved and slender, looking at the beauty of the distant mountains; the forehead is lightly smeared, about the yellow effect of the moon, like the fairy of the Toad Palace; the incense powder is applied on the smooth and tender face, which is more bright; the cherry lips are lightly covered with lip paper, and a little sip, it is a little red. The woman smiled sweetly in the mirror, a stunning beauty who was shy of flowers in the moon.

The hair is tied in a bun, and the slender jade fingers pick up a golden hairpin on the dressing table, and the body is slightly sideways, waiting to be inserted into the bun. Suddenly, the golden hairpin slid to the ground, and the woman leaned over and bent over, so she picked it up.

The beauty in front of the mirror bent over, but the reflection of the woman in the mirror did not move at all, although it looked like the beauty in front of the mirror, but the beauty in the mirror had a hint of coldness, her eyes followed the bending action of the beauty in front of the mirror, and the corners of her mouth floated a meaningful smile.

The woman picked up the golden hairpin, sat back in front of the mirror, and when she looked at the reflection in the mirror, she noticed something unusual.

"Here you go again?" The beautiful woman in front of the mirror was not surprised, on the contrary, like the woman in the mirror, she also smiled faintly.

"What about him?" the woman in the mirror even spoke, but the direction from which the voice came was faint and elusive.

"He's not here, not for a few days. The beautiful woman in front of the mirror is still holding the golden hairpin, "Don't occupy the mirror, otherwise I won't see me, and this phoenix hairpin doesn't know where to insert it." ”

The figure of the woman in the mirror moved slightly, which was already consistent with the movements of the beauty in front of the mirror, the beauty in front of the mirror smiled brightly, inserted the golden hairpin into the bun, seemed to look at her reflection in the mirror with all kinds of pity, looked at it for a long time, and then opened the makeup box, took out two earrings inlaid with precious stones, compared them in front of the mirror, and waited to be put on.

"It's the dead of night, you're still wearing such heavy makeup, and he's not there, who are you going to show it to?" The woman in the mirror and the beauty in front of the mirror are exactly the same, as if they are a true reflection in the mirror, but only the eyes are different. As she spoke, her eyes looked directly at the beautiful woman in front of the mirror, as if she was a little concerned but a little worried.

"Show it to myself......" The beautiful woman in front of the mirror looked at the two shiny earrings under her ears with satisfaction, and shook her head, "...... To be honest, I really like to be a woman. I love these things, lipstick, rouge, spices, jewelry, satin...... Women are so beautiful with these. ”

The woman in the mirror blinked, as if she didn't want to talk about it anymore: "What about him? These days ......?"

Before the woman in the mirror finished speaking, the beautiful woman in front of the mirror had already interrupted her: "It's all right, don't worry, I know what I'm going to do." The beautiful woman in front of the mirror took out a string of pearl necklaces from the makeup box, hung them on her white neck, glanced at them in the mirror, shook her head, took off the pearl necklace, and replaced it with a delicately made gold necklace.

"You still have to be careful, if you can't use it for the Lord, this person must not fall into the hands of the Demon Dao, you need to make a decision immediately......"

The beautiful woman in front of the mirror spoke a little impatiently, and once again interrupted the woman in the mirror's advice: "I can reflect on myself." I don't make the mistakes you did. ”

The woman in the mirror fell silent.

The beautiful woman in front of the mirror seemed to have just woken up, and felt that her tone just now was too bad, so she temporarily put down the gold necklace in her hand, sighed, and said softly: "I've been thinking that with my stunning beauty, at least like Rudan in Fly Mountain, to tempt the kings and emperors of the world, what can I do, now I can only ......"...,

The woman in the mirror stared at the beautiful woman in front of the mirror and suddenly smiled.

"You really won't make the mistakes I made, and in that case, I'm relieved. ”

"What does that mean?"

"From these few words you said, I understand. You love yourself, you love power, you love vanity, but you just don't love him. That's good, that's good. ”

"Love? Since we have cultivated such a flawless appearance, we should have made good use of it. It's just a pity to waste it on a certain man. The beautiful woman in front of the mirror smiled very charmingly, and finally hung the gold necklace around her neck, "So, I won't be like you, sister." ”

The woman in the mirror did not speak again, but gradually turned into a faint shadow in the mirror, and after a while, only the real reflection of the beautiful woman in front of the mirror with a charming smile was left in the mirror.

※※※

Two galloping horses stopped running in front of a large expanse of majestic buildings, which were lined with guards in armor.

The guard, who already looked like a leader, stretched out his hand to stop, and ordered the rider on the horse: "In front of the Great Sima Mansion, the rider gets off the horse, the rider dismounts, and the offender has forty canes!"

The first person was a fat man in a short brown shirt, with a big bow on his back, and a long knife with a wide blade, the fat man raised his hand, reluctantly turned over and dismounted, and muttered: "Get off the horse, get off the horse, won't you be polite?"

The latter person was a slender woman, who jumped off the horse vigorously, and held the long sword at her waist with the scabbard in front of the leader of the guards: "Da Sima Mansion Mei Yu Lonely Goose Returns to the Mansion to Suppress the Order!"

The leader of the guards took the sword and looked at it, and then looked at the woman for a long time, and then recognized it, and seemed to be taken aback: "If it is really a lonely goose swordsman, they all say that you have encountered an accident, but it turns out that the lonely goose swordsman is still safe and sound." ”

Mo Yumei and Gan Fei entered Jiankang City at dusk on the fourth day, and after entering the city, they did not delay, and went directly to the mansion of Da Sima Mansion located in the north of the city near the Yangtze River. Except for the young son of the Xie family of Chen County who met him at the pavilion that night, there were no other twists and turns, but the road was safe.

Mo Yumei could only smile bitterly when she heard the leader of the guards say this: "There was something wrong, and I was about to face Lord Chen Huan." Team Zhang, Lord Huan can be in the mansion?"

The leader of the guards is surnamed Zhang Mingxiu, and Mo Yumei is knowledgeable, but he didn't recognize it at first, but when he heard Mo Yumei say this, a smile appeared on his face, and he arched his hand and said: "It's not a coincidence, Lord Huan went to Lujiang yesterday to fight the Lao Army, and it will take a few days to return. ”

After Zhang Xiu finished speaking, he waved his hand, and the two armor soldiers pushed open the heavy door of the mansion, making a squeaky sound.

"Please. Zhang Xiu raised his hand for a moment, and at the same time his eyes turned a few times on Gan Fei, but he didn't say anything, Mei Yu Guyan is the three most powerful swordsmen of Da Sima, and the most important of Da Sima, and most of the people she brought are strange people on the rivers and lakes, to recommend to Da Sima, if he becomes a celebrity in front of Da Sima in the future, he can't afford to offend, so he simply doesn't check Gan Fei.

Gan Fei couldn't imagine the thoughts in Zhang Xiu's heart, in short, the other party's front and back compliments had made his previous unhappiness throw away all the clouds, and he stepped in with a smile at the moment, and began to look around curiously.

After Mo Yumei entered, the heavy door closed again. There was a solemn atmosphere in the entire mansion, but there was no one to be seen.

Gan Fei walked away, looking at it and sighing: "If you don't say it, I thought this was the palace, look at it, this grandeur, this majesty." ”

"Then you haven't seen a real palace, Da Sima doesn't like extravagance, this kind of mansion is already extremely frugal. Mo Yumei said disappreciatively, letting Gan Fei wander around in the open space of the mansion. ...,

Gan Fei was speechless: "This is still called thrift? ”

Mo Yumei smiled, Da Sima has great ambitions, how can he be the same as the ordinary people in the world: "This is still because Mrs. Da Sima was born in the royal family, and the etiquette system is limited, if you see the mansion of the Langya royal family, you will know what luxury is in the Dao." ”

Gan Fei nodded: "Yes, yes, Da Sima is married to Princess Nankang, that's a concubine, how did I almost forget." ”

"Do you know the way, are you still walking like this?" Seeing that Gan Fei was about to step on the threshold along the path recklessly, Mo Yumei stopped her by speaking out, and at the same time motioned for Gan Fei to follow her.

"Don't look at the fact that there is no one on this road, there are at least dozens of pairs of eyes staring at you in the dark. If you do the slightest misdeeds, you will be pierced by crossbow arrows. Mo Yumei led the way and led Gan Fei through the side door of the side compartment.

Gan Fei shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "Of course I know, these are the secret whistles of the Mansion." As he spoke, he nodded a few directions, "Here, there are five people hidden, who should be swordsmen; here, there are ten people hidden, all of whom are in armor, they should be guards; here is the most powerful, there are twenty people hidden, listening to the sound of instruments, they should all be holding bows and crossbows." ”

Mo Yumei smiled: "Look at you, you still have such the ability to check the shape and distinguish the trace." ”

"That is, I can detect the demons within hundreds of miles, not to mention the breath of ordinary people in dozens of steps. Hey. Gan Fei said proudly, and waved his hand mischievously in those directions.

"Don't mess around!" Mo Yumei immediately stopped, "This is an important place for the government, not a village market, so you can't mess around." ”

"Ha Luha, greetings, it's not strange to have many people. ”

"What do you mean by this greeting?

"Uh......" Gan Fei originally thought it was funny, but when Mo Yumei said this, he felt that his behavior was indeed a little inappropriate, so he had to withdraw his hand and divert the topic again, "Where are we going? I just heard that the big Sima is not in the mansion now." ”

"Of course, I will go to the place where I used to live, and wait a few days for Da Sima to return home. ”

The two talked and talked, and they didn't know how many pavilions and corridors they had passed, and they also saw some servants dressed as servants along the way, all of whom bowed down from afar as they saw Mo Yumei and Gan Fei, and Gan Fei hugged his fists one by one.

"They're all subordinates, you don't have to be so polite, it's underestimated. Mo Yumei whispered to Gan Fei.

Gan Fei raised his eyebrows: "Whatever the subordinates are the masters, they are all human beings, and what are the honorable and the lowly! I only know the Tao of the Devil, and if others salute me, I must return the salute, which is the foundation of human beings." ”

Mo Yumei was a little hesitant when she heard Gan Fei and herself talk for the first time, and couldn't help but look at Gan Fei in surprise, seeing his indignant face, and then carefully pondering Gan Fei's words, she smiled, nodded and said: "What you said is that what I said is wrong, alas, they have been in the mansion for a long time, and they have some scholarly habits, don't be surprised." As he spoke, two maidservants passed by, and when they saw the two of them, they bowed down from a distance, and even Mo Yumei returned the salute with a smile on her chin, no longer the appearance of ignoring her before.

Mo Yumei's behavior made Gan Fei a little surprised, but she was a little embarrassed: "This ...... It's not that you, it's my temperament that doesn't fit the path of the prince's mansion......"

"But then again. Mo Yumei didn't let Gan Fei finish her words, "Come to where I live in a while, you can't be so humble to those people." You have to show your madness and skill, or you will only be ridiculed and scorned by them. ”

"Who, who?" said Gan Fei was a little strange.

"Don't forget, I'm a guest at the Great Sima Mansion, and the place where I live is also a place where guests gather. There, everything is up to the talk, and I don't want the guests I brought back to be underestimated by those people. ”...,

When Gan Fei listened to her, her eyes couldn't help but slip to her buttocks, and after her voice fell for a long time, she suddenly woke up and hurriedly covered up a few coughs: "Ahem...... Ha, understand, don't worry, others are polite to me, I will be rude to me, I will be more rude than him, after all, I am the one you brought, I can't let you lose face, right?"

Mo Yumei smiled lightly, to be honest, she still believed in Gan Fei's skills, except for the thunder falcon, I was afraid that no one was his opponent, this demon slayer of the Qianjia family was also a brave warrior with outstanding skills.

As she continued to walk forward, Gamfer stopped talking, staring at her buttocks and admiring the sultry walking posture.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't seem interested. But now you're secretly looking behind her back like a thief?" Mo Yumei's voice suddenly sounded, and she knew very well where Gan Fei would be looking behind her.

"Huh...... You're talking to me?"

Stupid man, he can't pretend to be stupid, Mo Yumei sneered in her heart, but she didn't pierce him, but stopped in front of a partial house.

"Go in here, that's where I live, I think the sound of the blade on your body has prepared the other doormen inside, maybe they will give you a warm welcome ceremony, you might as well go in and try it first?"

"Welcome? No, that's too polite. Gan Fei smiled, of course he knew very well what Mo Yumei meant, but he still didn't care and walked forward.

"This is the best opportunity to show your skills, and once they are convinced, I think it will be more helpful for you to speak in front of the Great Sima in the future. When Gan Fei passed by Mo Yumei's side, Mo Yumei suddenly reminded in a whisper.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Because people are more willing to believe what comes out of the mouth of the strong. ”
