Chapter 174: The Golden Wind Meets the Jade Dew
By the time Wei Chengzhi returned to the dilapidated Taoist temple, he already had an extra pheasant in his hand.
He even went so far as to deal with everything in advance, killing chickens, plucking feathers, and bloodletting······
When Wei Chengzhi carried the pheasant that could actually be roasted directly on the bonfire into the main hall, Ji Wushuang, who was still sleeping at the last moment, immediately opened his eyes, showed a rather hasty smile, got up to welcome his return, and caught a glimpse of the pheasant that had been processed in Wei Chengzhi's hand, she said gratefully: "Gongzi Wei is really thinking about me and Ake all the time, Gongzi has a heart." ”
Knowing that this woman saw her own little thoughts, and there seemed to be a secret intention in her eyes to send autumn waves to herself, why, is it the falling flowers and the flowing water is also intentional?
Wei Chengzhi was a little proud for a while, and suddenly felt pity for this Ji Wushuang.
I think it would be nice if I could marry her.
He has walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has seen a lot of women, and he has also turned a lot, such as Ji Wushuang, a woman with a good posture, it is rare, if it weren't for the amazing white-clothed girl in the Taoist temple last night, so that the woman in front of her has lost a little color, her position in Wei Chengzhi's heart will be higher.
What's more, ordinary women are just ordinary women, what about good looks and good figures? Those flower streets and willow alleys have never lacked such women, and they are not the same as those playthings on the beds of noble sons?
And Ji Wushuang is different.
The Ji family used to be one of the best families in Zheng Guo, one family, two generals, one phase and three concubines, favored by the first emperor, so not majestic, in the entire Zheng Guo court, it was a hundred responses, and it was also full of prestige among the people.
In the past, it was just an attachment to the Ji family.
And Qiao Gaotang used to be just a dog of the head of the Ji family.
Relying on the Ji family, he walked step by step from a sour scholar in a poor countryside to the position of the secretary of Zheng Guobing's department.
It's a pity that this dog bit the former owner at a critical moment, and by the way, squeezed out the last trace of the owner's role and borrowed the owner to take the position.
The first emperor died unexpectedly, the new emperor ascended the throne, and cut down many so-called "former ministers" in a drastic way.
Qiao's mansion forced the new emperor to have the deepest malice towards the Ji family.
Among them, there are some words that chase after the wind and lack evidence, if the two sides really want to go to court, it is actually difficult to determine the guilt of the Ji family.
But if you want to add a crime, why should there be no excuse? In addition, the king is suspicious, and in many things, he would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one. With this in mind, the Ji family was finally branded as a traitor.
Up and down the clan, the men cut off their heads, and those who went to prison went to prison. The exile of the woman in exile.
Even a member of the collateral clan like Ji Wushuang was deeply implicated, and his status plummeted.
It can be said that today's Ji family is either almost dead, and even if they are still alive, they are still surviving, like a lost dog.
But in Wei Chengzhi's eyes, it's completely different.
Anyway, this Ji Wushuang was also a nobleman of Zheng Guo in the past, how can those fat fans in Flower Street and Willow Lane compare to this kind of woman?
People like Wei Chengzhi, the more reckless they are, the more they want to get involved with those high-ranking women. Toads also want to eat swan meat.
It's a pity that Wei Chengzhi can only think about it, after all, this woman is the pink skeleton that the master has a fancy to, he doesn't have the courage to disobey the master's orders, thinking that at most he will be addicted to it, and taste the taste of this woman of the Ji family who used to be high.
After the three of them hastily ate the roast chicken, Wei Chengzhi couldn't wait to urge the two of them to go on the road.
Unlike the young swordsman in green shirt and the girl in white, the horses that these three people bought before were tired from running around all night, and they had already died on the road, because Wei Chengzhi chose some mountain and forest trails, and there was nowhere to supply, so they had to walk for the last ten miles to Hongzhou City.
At sunset, a few people could feel Hongzhou City.
As soon as he entered the city, Ji Wushuang immediately thanked Wei Chengzhi, "Master Wei, Ah Ke and I have been grateful for your care all the way. Now that we have arrived in Hongzhou City, let's leave it at that. I wish Childe an early attainment of martial arts grandmasters. ”
When the maid Ah Ke heard this, she felt that her young lady had finally opened her mind, and she had already seen that this person had bad intentions, but she didn't know why her young lady kept pretending to be crazy and stupid, but she still ······ from time to time Secretly send autumn waves to him?
And just now in the dilapidated Taoist temple, the young lady refused to speak for herself, but spoke for an outsider, which made her feel a little chilled.
And Wei Chengzhi, who heard this, said with a smile that it didn't matter, but at the same time wondered, why did this girl change her words?
Don't do it, don't do it?
Didn't you say that you want to go to the house and visit the elderly?
Master is still waiting for himself to send someone to him, so he wants to leave?
He smiled and said: "Miss Ji, Sister Ake, what's the hurry, you guys are tired all the way, this is not a place to stay, seeing that it is not early, it is better to go to Wei's mansion to live first." Even if you have any plans, you can think about it in the long run, don't you say?"
Wei Chengzhi had a harmless smile on his face, at this moment he was really like a chivalrous man with an ancient heart, wanting to do the great thing of sending Buddha to the west and helping people to the end.
But Ji Wushuang still smiled and shook her head, politely rejecting Wei Chengzhi's "kindness", she took the hand of the girl next to her, and walked towards the crowded street, where there were many patrolling officers and soldiers.
This time, Ji Wushuang didn't even have half a kind word.
It wasn't until this moment that Wei Chengzhi suddenly understood that this woman had acted all the way to win his trust, so that he could take it lightly?
Could it be that Ji Wushuang already knew his identity and knew his methods against those women, so he pretended to flirt with him, and said that he wanted to visit the old man at home in his house?
When did you show your stuffing? Wei Chengzhi quickly recalled his words and deeds along the way, and didn't find anything suspicious, except for twisting a yin and yang note outside the dilapidated Taoist temple, he didn't even leave the master and servant.
Although I don't know how Ji Wushuang guessed her purpose, looking at her vastly different attitudes and performances before and after entering the city, it is enough to conclude that the other party doesn't believe in her at all.
Wei Chengzhi's face became more and more ugly, he stepped forward and grabbed Ji Wushuang's arm, secretly using the true qi of martial arts, and controlled his strength to the extent that it would not make Ji Wushuang feel pain, but he could not break free of his arm.
Just to avoid attracting the attention of the officers and soldiers in the busy city, he still squeezed out a smile on his face and said: "Miss Ji, at least go to Wei's mansion, let me pick up the wind and wash the dust for you, and then leave after having dinner?"
Ji Wushuang was annoyed, and now the two sides were almost about to tear their faces, and the person surnamed Wei obviously couldn't see the soft, so he wanted to come hard and forcibly take her back to the house.
There was no need to think about it, she knew that if she and Ah Ke were taken away by this person, they would never end well.
"Master Wei, please respect yourself!"
Ji Wushuang shouted loudly, attracting the attention of the two officers and soldiers nearby.
Wei Chengzhi secretly said in his heart that something was wrong, but the two officers and soldiers had already come over, and one of them asked curiously, "Hey, what are you doing?"
Ji Wushuang was about to speak, but found that her back was tapped twice with her fingertips, and then her words that had been squeezed into her throat were all stuck, and she couldn't speak.
The maid Ake was about to exclaim, but was "silenced" by the same means.
A woman, a girl, has become "mute" at this moment.
The next moment, an old man in a gorgeous costume slowly walked out from behind her and said with a smile: "Official, it's nothing, it's just that the little girl is a little uncomfortable and has a headache, so I'll take her back to rest." ”
Seeing that the person who came was his master, Wei Chengzhi was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted, "Master····· Father. I'm here to help my sister go back. ”
Wei Chengzhi hurriedly supported Ji Wushuang, stopped his thin waist with one hand, grabbed the lotus root with the other, and smiled from ear to ear.
The officer and soldier glanced at Ji Wushuang again, as if waiting for her answer.
It's just that the woman was so strange that she suddenly stopped talking again.
The old man in the gorgeous costume shrank his fingers into his sleeves, urged his spiritual power, and forced Ji Wushuang to nod his head with the secret method of Yin and Yang dual cultivation.
When she lost her voice, Ji Wushuang could still be calm, but it was not until she found that her body was uncontrollable, she could neither move away nor raise her hand to signal, and even the ghost almost nodded and admitted such a ridiculous thing, that the woman fell into powerless panic and fear.
The same is true of the maid Ake.
The two of them are like puppets in the hands of the old man who cultivates the secret art of yin and yang, and every move is in the old man's control.
Seeing that the two women nodded, the officers and soldiers left with confidence, and they no longer interrogated Wei Chengzhi and the old man too much.
"Chengzhi, let's go back. The old man smiled and turned around, his fingers shrunk in his sleeve kept pinching, his left hand "pulled" Ji Wushuang, and his right hand "pulled" Ah Ke.
Wei Chengzhi just ate tofu and made a show.
The four of them walked towards the Wei Mansion unhurriedly, the old man glanced at Na Ji Wushuang, and praised: "Very good, you are a natural cultivation seed, Cheng Zhi, you have done a good job this time, and the teacher has decided to pass on another book of boxing, if you practice diligently, breaking the realm is just around the corner." ”
Wei Chengzhi echoed again and again, nodded and said, "In this way, the apprentice will thank the master a lot." In fact, there is one more thing to ask for······"
The old man in the fancy costume didn't listen to his next words, he already waved his hand, and said indifferently: "On the eve when the teacher refines her into a pink skeleton, it will be sent to your bed, so that you can also have a good time." As for the one next to him, the root bones are too bad to be a pink skeleton for a teacher, you can just look at it. ”
Wei Chengzhi thanked him, and began to imagine how he would go through the clouds and rain with Na Ke tonight.
The old man in the Chinese costume asked again: "By the way, you told me in yin and yang paper that there is another woman who looks like a fairy, how about this Ji girl?"
"Miss Ji is already very good, but only that girl is seventy percent beautiful. It's just that she doesn't seem to be a cultivator, and she hasn't opened up the sea of knowledge yet, maybe the roots are not good. Wei Chengzhi replied.
The old man nodded when he heard this, didn't ask any more questions, and said conclusively: "If you don't have the talent of cultivation, then it's useless to just have a pair of skins, you don't need to bother, and then take a good rest in the house for a while, we also need to 'take it in the right way', haha." ”
"Master has a point. ”
He was full of slander in his heart, if the old man hadn't cultivated a secret method of collecting yin and supplementing yang, I am afraid that he would have hollowed out the female sex a long time ago, and he would have the face to teach himself that his skin is useless? It's really funny.
Outside the gate of the Wei Mansion, the aura in the old man in Huafu seemed to be exhausted, he was already sweating profusely, and it was a little difficult to manipulate the two women at the same time.
And Ji Wushuang and Ah Ke are desperately trying to exert force on their hands and feet, trying to get rid of this person's control.
At this moment, two familiar figures appeared in Ji Wushuang's eyes.
Dressed in a green shirt, with a sword behind his back, a jade plaque hanging on the left side of his waist, and a wine gourd tied to his right side.
He was accompanied by a girl in white who taught himself to be envious of it.
It's the pair of brothers and sisters who met in the ruined Taoist temple last night!
They were talking and laughing, and they were walking towards them, as if they hadn't noticed themselves and Ake.
Wei Chengzhi also recognized the two of them, but the master had already said before, "It's useless to have skin alone", so although he coveted the beauty of the girl in white very much, he didn't dare to spoil the master's big thing at such a critical juncture. So in line with the idea that more things are better than less, Wei Chengzhi didn't say anything, and let the senior brother and sister pass by him.
Seeing that he was about to be brought into the Wei Mansion by Wei Chengzhi and the old man in Chinese costumes, the old man in Chinese clothes slightly reduced his control over the two women, not carelessly, but along the way, manipulating the two at the same time, he was indeed more than willing but not enough, and now he was close to the mansion, so he didn't need to work too hard, so he was a little "loosened".
The old man was relieved, and Ji Wushuang finally exerted all his strength, raised an arm with great difficulty, and pulled the sleeve of the young swordsman in green shirts.
Li Zijin turned his head a little stunned, and saw the girl, her mouth moved slightly, but she didn't say anything.
It's a pity that the two of them just looked at each other like this, Wei Chengzhi sped up his pace and helped Ji Wushuang to move away quickly, and then entered the mansion.
Li Zijin was still standing in place, a little puzzled, weren't they friends?
"Senior brother, those people just now seem to be the ones I saw in the Dao in the morning. "Hong Shao has a good memory, and he recognized Ji Wushuang at a glance.
The young man nodded, and suddenly asked again: "By the way, Hong Shao, did you hear what that Miss Ji said just now?"
Hong Shao thought for a while, and said a little unsurely: "It seems to be 'save me'?" That sister spoke too quietly to hear clearly. ”
That's suspicious.
Li Zijin looked up, the Wei Mansion was already closed, and it was still so early, so he was about to rest?
"Let's go. The young man pulled the little junior sister and left the Wei Mansion quickly.
And inside the gate of the Wei Mansion, there was a pair of eyes watching the two senior brothers gradually leave, and then they were relieved.
————
Li Zijin took Hong Shao back to the Shaohua tavern and asked for a room.
It was still the running guy who received the two.
Ah Niu led Li Zijin and Hong Shao and led them to the guest room, when the young man suddenly asked, "Man, I want to ask you about a place, who lives in the Wei Mansion in Lihua Lane in the south of the city?"
Li Zijin asked in vain, and took out two taels of broken silver from his arms.
But the guy Ah Niu didn't rush to take the silver, but apologized: "Yo, the guest officer can ask me down, although we run around the store every day, and I have seen a lot of people who go south and north, but Hongzhou City is so big, I can't know the bottom of every household." It just so happened that the south side of the city you asked lived in some nobles, all of whom were big people with heads and faces in Hongzhou City, like me, a miscellaneous subordinate, how could I know those dignitaries. ”
Li Zijin was a little disappointed, but he still stuffed two taels of silver into the palm of his hand, and said with a smile: "I know, thank you very much." ”
Ah Niu held the silver, a little reluctant, this time he did not boast to this guest who always made strange requests, but gave a more conservative statement, "I have little knowledge, I don't recognize big people." But our shopkeeper is not small, I'll help you ask her to see if I can get you the news of that Wei Mansion, but I can't guarantee that there will be a fall. ”
The young man nodded and said, "That's natural, whether there is a fall or not, I ask you to run upstairs again when the time comes." ”
The man Ah Niu answered and hurried downstairs.
Li Zijin closed the door, looking a little worried, he was not in a hurry, but he was afraid that the two girls would not be able to wait.
He wasn't sure if it was as he guessed it was.
After all, in the dilapidated Taoist temple before, Wei Chengzhi and those two girls did seem to be friends.
And outside the Wei Mansion just now, didn't the two girls also voluntarily go back with him, if Wei Chengzhi helped Miss Ji, it would be fine, and there was nothing wrong with the maid Ake, looking at it.
No, the two of them were still brought back to Wei Mansion with mysterious powers, right?
But if there is really no problem, why is it ······
Li Zijin looked at the little junior sister with a serious expression, and said with a serious expression: "Hong Shao, let me ask you, did that Miss Ji really say the word 'save me'? ”
Originally, there was a girl who was sure of three points, but when she was asked by her senior brother like this, she suddenly lost her confidence, and only one point was certain, and she nodded and shook her head over there, entangled.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Li Zijin hurriedly got up and went to open the door.
"Is that you?" said the young man in surprise.
Because the person who came was not a buddy A Niu, but the gentle woman who found a pot of Jiannan Burning Spring for him earlier.
"Why, it's me, disappointed?" she smiled brightly and winked at the boy.
The boy shook his head and said, "That's not what I meant. ”
Didn't bother to explain anything.
Li Zijin has something to worry about, and he has no intention of talking and laughing with a woman, even if the one in front of him is a stunning one he has never seen.
Like Su Hu, charming and tactful, with a variety of styles, it is a charming stunner who overwhelms the crowd.
Like Yunmeng and Tang Yin, even though they are graceful, the characteristics of women are covered up by the pride on their bodies, making people only dare to look from afar, not close.
If you don't look closely, you will naturally lose a lot of color, and in many places, you can't look carefully and can't really see it.
And like the little junior sister, although she is extremely beautiful, she is born in a charming background, and it is inevitable that she lacks the taste of a woman in the world.
But that gentle woman is like a combination of fireworks in the world and fairy energy on the mountain, with both the delicate spirit of a woman in the world and the fairy spirit of a female cultivator on the mountain, her demeanor is heroic, and her eyes are aura.
Up and down, inside and out, I can't find the slightest flaw.
Her very existence seems to explain what perfection is.
