325 Narrow Valley Night Road (2)
The two guards suddenly saw someone coming, and they immediately woke up. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ Under the faint lantern light, it can be seen that the people are a man and a woman, the man is wearing an old moon-white shirt, his hair is simply bundled, and his face is light and expressionless;
"We're here to meet Madame Shan. Pretending to be Su Fufeng's thorn, he got straight to the point, "There is no need to report it, just go in." β
"Who are you?" the two guards were shocked, seeing that the two were about to go inside, they stretched out their hands to block them, "Is there an order from the sect leader?"
Thorn chuckled, looked at Jun Li and said, "I'm right, Ling Li, there are really people in this place who don't know you and me, and they will definitely ask us for an edict from Tuoba Gu." β
When the two guards heard the name "Lingli", their hearts were shocked. Although they have followed Tuoba Gu for many years, but Ling Li and his wife rarely appear, last year, when Ling Li came to the valley, the two of them did not see him from a close distance, this time the two of them carefully saw the "Lingli" outfit, and compared it with last year's appearance in their hearts, one said carefully: "Yes...... Is it Young Master Ling and Lady Ling?"
Thorn turned his face sideways, "What do you say?"
"This ......" the man subconsciously took a step back, and still said, "Mrs. Ling, but ...... That one...... Madame has been unwell recently, and Shan Xianfeng is not at home these days, so she ...... So I specially explained that I didn't see the guests......"
"Is it a single pioneer to confess, or is it a sect leader?" the stab asked rhetorically.
"Yes......" The two looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a while.
Jun Li coughed, as if he was about to speak, but the stinger had already sneered, and said: "Where is Shan Xianxian, others don't know, do we still don't know? The two of you don't have to be embarrassed, your sect leader told us about this matter when he went to Lin'an a few days ago, and he only asked you to stop Xiang Liuyu and a few of them, but he didn't ask you to stop me and Ling Li, right?"
The man hesitated. Tuoba Gu's purpose of sending them to stay here was, in the final analysis, not wanting the people of the Blue Dragon Sect to meet Gu Xiaomeng, and the news of Shan Jiquan's imprisonment spread - if Ling Li and his wife already knew, it would be no different if they and Gu Xiaomeng didn't see each other. In addition, the two of them didn't want to offend Ling Li, so they gave up at the moment, bowed down and said, "What Mrs. Ling said is true." "Get out of the way.
Jun Li and Thorn were able to enter the single house, but as soon as they entered the house, it was dark and dreary, and there was no one in the front yard and front hall, and there was not even a shadow of a family member in the podium of the side house, so naturally there was no one to take it. Thorn was puzzled, and when he hurried inside, he saw a middle-aged woman fetching water and waiting to go upstairs.
Thorn recognized it as the servant woman of the family, and she followed Gu Xiaomeng more, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "That ......"
The servant woman thought that she didn't expect an outsider to arrive, but she was taken aback, and the basin shook, and she shouted "yo". Someone upstairs had already followed the voice and asked, "What's wrong with Aunt Dan?" but it was a single unintentional voice.
Jun Li and Thorn heard the unheard voice, and their hearts were overjoyed. Aunt Na Dan turned around and saw two strangers standing in the patio, but fortunately, the two did not look like bad people, she was shocked, and hurriedly said: "Yes...... There are guests, young masters, there are guests coming!"
Unintentionally, he pushed the window from the upper floor to look down, and the starlight was only enough for him to vaguely distinguish the visitors. β...... Aunt Su-Uncle Ling?" he was a little surprised, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly said, "Please come in." So he came downstairs to meet him.
"Unintentionally, Daddy andβwhat about your father and your mother?" the thorn couldn't hold back, and before the unintentional figure turned out of the stairs, he asked.
"Daddy isn't here, I've been out for days. "My mother is upstairs, but she's sick these days, and she's not in good health." So he led them upstairs.
Thorn naturally knew that this was Gu Xiaomeng's house, and the sun here was very good during the day, and when Shan Jiquan was not there, she would occasionally live here alone. However, it didn't seem to know about Shan Jiquan's situation, and Gu Xiaomeng was really sick, which was unexpected. "She's fine, is she?"
"I was dizzy for a few days, and I didn't get better. "Unintentionally, "The sect leader asked Mrs. Cheng to come and see, saying that she wanted to rest and recuperate, and she couldn't go to her grandfather's place tomorrow." β
While speaking, he had already arrived in the room, Gu Xiaomeng was sitting up by himself, and the two children of Shan Heng and Shan Fei were also on the side, and they looked a little restrained when they saw that there were guests coming.
The piercing eye sockets couldn't stop the heat. She hadn't come back for a long time, and she hadn't seen Gu Xiaomeng and her two younger brothers for a long time. Now seeing that they are safe here, half of her heart has finally fallen, but the other half is still hanging, and she does not dare to explain it.
Gu Xiaomeng's complexion was really not very good, although he was happy to see the two of them, he was also surprised, and he could only whisper weakly: "Sister Fufeng, why did you come here?"
The thorn took her hand, and for a moment her heart was unsettled, and she choked up a little, and if there were really outsiders, I am afraid that she could not help but wonder why she was so excited. "We ...... We've heard about things here...... Come here...... Come and see......" The thorn said half-plainly, "You don't care about your body, do you?"
Gu Xiaomeng obviously seemed to hear her voice. "It's rare that you have a ......heart," she said softly, "No intention, the three of you go back to rest first, and I'll talk to you Aunt Su and them for a while." β
"Oh...... All right. Unintentionally, he said, "Aunt Su, my mother is not in good health, do you ...... Take care of it, and let Aunt Dan call me later. β
Thorn nodded, and when the three teenagers were gone, he turned back.
Gu Xiaomeng sat up a little more at this time, looked at her thorny red eyes, suddenly shook her head, and sighed, "Didn't you tell you not to come back yet?"
Thorn was taken aback. "I ......" hesitated for a moment, and finally used the original voice, "...... Mother, how are you ...... How do you recognize mine?"
"My daughter's hand, I pinched it 11,000 times since she was a child, how can I not recognize it?"
This faint sentence is so soft, even the coldest starlight is enough to be softened, how can an already soft and warm heart withstand it. The stab couldn't hold back his tears, threw himself into Gu Xiaomeng's arms and cried, "Mother, what happened - what's wrong with Dad, what's wrong with you, why are there so few people in this family, why don't you want me to come back?"
Gu Xiaomeng didn't answer, only said, "Don't cry, let your Uncle Ling see the joke." She said softly, "But--how can your Uncle Ling be willing-"
Halfway through her words, she suddenly seemed to remember something and turned her head to look at Jun Li. Jun Li always stood aside, without saying or moving, probably because of this silence, which made her even more abrupt.
"He's Brother Jun Li, not Uncle Ling. Thorn has the answer. She sniffed and explained, "I gave him the 'dumb pill', so ...... He couldn't speak. β
Gu Xiaomeng let out a soft "oh" and looked at Jun Li: "You are really bold, dare to sneak into the Qinglong Valley like this." What if I let the Sect Master know?"
"Thorn is worried about you, and I can't worry about it. Jun Li still opened his mouth in a low voice. "Where is the Shan Pioneer locked up now, and what is the mind of the Tuoba Sect Master?"
Gu Xiaomeng sighed. "Your brother-in-law is locked up in a dungeon, and they don't know about it, and you don't have to talk to them. β
"Locked up in the dungeon?" Jun Li couldn't help but say, "He'...... Tuoba Lonely ...... How could he actually lock Shan Xianfeng in that kind of place!" He was originally only Tuoba Gu, maybe he had only put Shan Jiquan under house arrest, and he had not seen anyone else here, and he had not guessed that he would really be locked up in that dark and damp place. He had only been there for one night, and it was fine, but it had been more than half a month since he had done thisβa little too much anyway.
"When the first **** brother-in-law went to the dungeon, he told me that no matter what happens, don't disobey the sect leader. Gu Xiaomeng said, "I really want to reason with the sect leader - if it was just me, I would have gone a long time ago." But now there are still these children who are not at ease - he told me not to argue with the master, probably because of this. I knew that the sect leader told the outside world that I was sick, and told me that if I didn't want to cause more trouble, I should not ask more questions or say more. I could only pretend to be sick and not see the guests, and temporarily sent away some of the domestic servants to avoid trouble, and I did not care about them, and I also asked them to accompany me and take care of me at home, and not to go out to see people. β
"In this way, my mother is not really sick. "But tomorrow and tomorrow are ...... It's my grandfather's critical day, my cousin has a lot of pomp and circumstance, can't my father and mother not go?"
"Sect Master Tuoba came here two days ago. Gu Xiaomeng said, "I told him about it, and he allowed me to start preparing for the worship of your grandfather in the valley the day after tomorrow, and promised me that the day after tomorrow, on the day of your grandfather's death, your father would be released." But tomorrow, he said that there are many people in the Gu family, and it is difficult to say whether I will leak the news with anyone, so he will not allow me to leave. When I asked him why he couldn't have just let your father out earlier, he didn't answer me directly, only that he had decided to do so. β
"Is the sect leader's uncle planning to let his father go?"
Gu Xiaomeng nodded, but his expression was not very sure, "I hope he won't break his promise." β
"Uncle Sect Master will never break his word. "As long as Daddy can come out, that's fine." Have you seen Daddy these days?"
Gu Xiaomeng shook his head. "How can I see it? However, the Sect Master sent a few of his cronies to take turns guarding the dungeon and our single door, and I asked them. It sounds like they were ordered by the sect leader, but they didn't know why the sect leader wanted to lock up your father, and of course they didn't dare to snub him. β
"That'...... Does that mother know why the sect wants to shut up Daddy?" "Did Daddy tell you?"
"Nope. He didn't want me to know. Gu Xiaomeng shook her head. "But even if I don't know the details, I can always guess that the sect leader will lock up your father, no matter what the reason is, it must be surprising enough, and your father won't tell me, of course, so as not to affect me. It's just that he must have told you before, so he has to ask you to leave the Blue Dragon Valley for the time being, and not come back. β
Gu Xiaomeng said and glanced at Jun Li, "You must not be caught by the sect master, this place is not a place to stay for a long time, you will leave Qinglong Valley with thorns in a while, okay?"
"I'm just worried that you've just come back, how can you leave like this again. Thorn pouted, "Since Dad will be able to come out soon, I want to do that...... Uncle Sect Leader is also deflated, it's okay. β
"It's better to go to the dungeon and see the single pioneer first, and then make up your mind. Jun Li interjected, "First, he is still worried about that kind of place, and secondly, whether to leave or stay, Shan Xianfeng must have a judgment, but listen to him." β
"It's fine. Gu Xiaomeng said. "Indeed, I am not at ease, and you will not be too late to go. If you see him, try to report it to me. β
Jun Li nodded. "That's right. He added, "The day after tomorrow ......."
"How?"
Jun Li lowered his voice, "Just to talk to you." Even if I leave today, I will still come on Old Man Gu's death day. β
"You ......" Gu Xiaomeng's heart shook for a while. "You still won't forget ......"
"You have to see with your own eyes whether the Tuoba Sect Master really kept his promise that day and let go of the single vanguard. Jun Li smiled, cut off what she was about to say, reached out and pulled up the thorn, and said goodbye and left.
