Ze Guoding Storm 15, the old friend of Ripple
Although there were only a few short sentences of dialogue in the garrison barracks, for Xu Ping, it seemed like a second was like a year. When he got out of the barracks, there was a chill behind him, even if it was the noon sun, it was difficult to get rid of it, Xu Ping touched his back, it was all sweat, and said with a wry smile: "I hope I won't be allowed to play this kind of headwind situation again in the future, if I continue like this, I will have a heart attack sooner or later." Xu Ping hid his body and rushed to Pinyan Building, Yingying should have negotiated it a long time ago, I don't know if Pinyan Lou has anything to eat, I feel a little hungry.
In the main room on the third floor of Pinyan Building, next to the window, a beautiful girl in a yellow shirt sits on a rattan chair, the wind gently stirs her hair, fluttering in the quiet room, and the rattan chair shakes, looming her smile. "What book are you reading?" Xu Ping asked in disbelief as he came behind Cao Ying and looked at the text on it. "Ah, why don't you make a sound like a ghost, are the hidden guards outside all eating dry food?" Cao Ying hurriedly closed the book, jumped up from the rattan chair and shouted to face Xu Pingjiao.
The hidden guard outside the door heard the conversation in the room and walked away with a black line, the young lady was obviously very happy, and she would make fun of us, and I don't know who just said that seeing him was like seeing her. The two hidden guards plucked out their ears and said nothing, "When did you say that the young lady will get married?" "I don't want to guess, don't ask me." "Alas, our youth ......" "Shut up. The two guards ran away in a frenzy, knowing that they couldn't stay on the third floor until the matter was over, and the other brothers went to do their business, leaving the two of them to pick up the man and pack up some papers on the third floor. Xu Ping smiled and raised his hand: "Just now for our business, I have been busy for a long time, and I don't have time to eat, so I packed some back on the snack street in the east of the city, I don't know if there is anything you like." Do you like spicy or sweet food?" After speaking, he handed a box to Cao Ying, who took it and sniffed it: "This is...... Oh, don't!"
After Xu Ping handed a box to Cao Ying, he took out a free hand, carried the wind fitting method, moved behind Cao Ying like a black shadow, grabbed the book she hid behind her, raised it high, looked at it, and said happily: "The daily life of the favorite wife of a domineering master? Yingying, do you like this?" Cao Ying hurriedly turned around and stood on tiptoe to snatch back the script, Xu Ping quietly retreated a small step, Cao Ying's center of gravity suddenly became unstable, and directly pounced on Xu Ping.
The two leaned against the window like this, looking at every inch of each other's faces up close, and their eyes were full of affection. "Is it more domineering in the book, or am I more domineering?" "You are shameless. After saying that, everyone smiled, "Are you leaving?" As soon as Xu Ping went up to the third floor and saw the hidden guards who disappeared to only two people, he understood that Cao Ying and they should also know about the ripples, since the ripples came, then Cao Ying definitely couldn't stay here, it was very understandable.
It's just that Cao Ying didn't mention even a word of ripples, and Xu Ping tacitly didn't say it, making trouble, and maintained a wordless tacit understanding. The two of them clasped their fingers together, shared their own food, and walked through the streets in the afternoon amid the teasing gaze of pedestrians on both sides of the street, walked past the city gates full of soldiers, and walked through the lush forest roads. Xu Ping estimated that the current time was about one o'clock in the afternoon, and the sun was getting stronger, he stood still, loosened his wrist, and asked, "Do you want to hold it or carry it on your back?" Cao Ying put her arms around Xu Ping's neck and jumped up, and Xu Ping picked it up. "Of course it's hugging, do you still need to ask?" Cao Ying leaned her head on Xu Ping's shoulder and whispered in his ear. Xu Ping was just about to leave, Cao Ying seemed to suddenly remember something, hurriedly patted Xu Ping's shoulder, and said, "I'll take you to see the powder warehouse of Fengning Rice Shop, right there, also by the way." Cao Ying pointed in the other direction, Xu Ping nodded, and the breeze was carried away, and the two of them drifted away like a wind through the forest.
"Is this Yingying's industry?" Xu Ping saw a total of 6 large warehouses side by side, many people came in and out, even the scorching afternoon sun could not stop their hard work, and everyone was responsible for the livelihood of the whole family. Xu Ping swept through the six warehouses and asked, "Are these six warehouses all flour?" Cao Ying shook her head: "Counting from left to right, the first and second are all powder silos, and the back are rice silos and a little other." The second powder silo is about to be sold out, and the first powder silo may be emptied in a few days, compared to the others, our inventory turnover is the fastest. Cao Ying's eyes were sometimes proud, sometimes gloomy, and she didn't know if she had a chance to see the day when the first powder warehouse was emptied, leaning her head on Xu Ping's chest, listening to his powerful heartbeat, thinking that I would definitely see him at the last glance. Cao Ying closed her eyes, no longer looked at those busy figures, and said in a low voice, "Let's go." "Okay. The two of them turned into a blur of figures again and disappeared outside the warehouse of Fengning Rice Shop.
"Running around, it's still comfortable to come back here. Xu Ping said in a relaxed tone. Cao Ying jumped off of him and carefully sorted out his somewhat messy collar. Xu Ping was playful and reached out to Cao Ying's collar. Cao Ying grabbed his hand nervously, blushed and said, "Wait for the evening, okay? Not during the day." After saying that, he ran into the house as if he were running away. Xu Ping was stunned for a moment, he just wanted to eat tofu, not her. Thinking back to her abnormality since noon, Xu Ping probably understood her thoughts, thinking about the future, I don't know whether to live or die, do I want to do everything I haven't done before? Xu Ping did it outside the house for a while, reviewing the various episodes of these days, deliberating on the details of future actions, until everything was all right, and then got up and prepared to enter the house. The room has been very quiet since just now, is Yingying asleep? Xu Ping pushed the door in, and there was no even breathing in the room as expected, but a faint choking sound.
......
......
"Lord Ripple, why don't you stay in the City Lord's Mansion these days. Shen Xin bowed and said. Is this person in front of him a first-class master of the imperial court? Why does he look so young, I don't know if she is 30 years old, looking at this face, she is 20 years old, and some people believe her, but these martial arts masters, I heard that the life span will be longer than the average person, and there are rumors that Lord Qingquan is nearly 100 years old.
"Lord Shen doesn't have to be so polite, I will live in Haining Wangfu during this time, so I can save any accidents, so that Cao Zhengyu is also kidnapped. The woman in blue in front of her said in a flat tone, but anyone could hear the faint threat in her mouth. Since she has come, it means that the imperial court has intervened in this matter openly, and there is no need to maintain a superficial politeness. She didn't know that Shen Xin let her live in the City Lord's Mansion, and she also had the intention of spying on her, but Ripple only thought that Shen Xin was a cold move, and she didn't think much about the relationship between Shen Xin and Cao Zhengfeng and Cao Ying.
Besides, Ripple also had to hurry into the house and contact Cao Zhengyu to understand the current situation. It was too late just now, so I didn't go to find Li Huaili, so I could only go to another place along the way, thinking of this, a playful smile appeared on Ripple's face. However, the smile quickly returned to flattening, and said: "Lord Shen, send the Yamen's investigation report on the scene and the report of the relevant personnel to the Haining Palace, and there is no need to do the reception banquet, the important thing is important." After saying that, he rode away without looking back, leaving Shen Xin and the others embarrassed on the street.
"My lord?" "Now she's an adult, do as she says." Shen Xin put his hands on his sleeves, his face was worried, he didn't know what to do now, it was too shameless to act cheaply. I hope that there will not be any chaos on the side of Haining industry, if they find an excuse, then the general trend is gone. If it really doesn't work, I can only capture the thief and capture the king first, and I don't know what happened to Shouzhong.
In the palace of Haining, Ripple saw Cao Zhengyu, and the first sentence made Cao Zhengyu look embarrassed: "Hmm, why do you look so ordinary?" It was not Ripple who came into contact with Cao Zhengyu before, and it was no wonder that she had this kind of complaint when she saw Cao Zhengyu for the first time, and Ripple only knew the specific content of the task when she went out on a mission. Of course, this mission is a bit special, it was Ripple who recruited people, but it was not her who was specifically promoted, until later for some special reasons, it was replaced by Ripple to come to the end. Cao Zhengyu quickly calmed down and said: "Appearance is just skin, career is the foundation of life." Ripple nodded, yes. That's the end of the greetings between the two, followed by a report on the one hand, and a summary of questions from time to time.
Yao Shengxiang had already noticed it when he entered the mansion, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley after him. If Ripple makes a move in the mansion and forcibly kills Cao Ze, she can't stop it at all, no, with her first-class cultivation, it won't be too difficult to kill anyone in Haining. What should the old man and the young lady do? Yao Shengxiang figured out the key at once, if the old man and the young lady really dared to show up to resist Cao Zhengyu, and go that far, then the ripples could completely fight for fame, kill the old lady and the little prince, and directly kill Cao Zhengyu as the orthodox heir. Besides, there is no need for Ripple to kill openly...... Yao Shengxiang closed the door, lit his pipe, and burst into tears in the clouds and mist.
"King Haining, there is nothing wrong with your plan, I will do it as you do tonight. Don't leave anyone in the highest building tonight, prepare me two jars of wine, and I want to see an old man. Ripple pointed to a row of black and gold high-rise buildings and said, Cao Zhengyu heard Ripple call himself the king of Haining, his heart was extremely comfortable, he nodded and agreed, and he didn't want to speculate who her friend would be, more than one thing is better than less. Wang Jing went to the transshipment today to exert pressure, and there is no bad news coming back so far, that is good news, Cao Zhengyu only feels that the time is coming. A rippling voice came from his ears again, "I'll command later."
Prepare a bucket of hot water, I'm going to take a shower, I'm in a hurry all the way, it's a little dirty. "Cao Zhengyu has a strange face, and he doesn't dare to show it, you don't need to explain it to me, it's weird to explain. The strangeness of the ripples aroused Cao Zhengyu's gossip heart, is it really her good look, that cultivation is not up to the sky?
......
......
Xu Ping lifted the curtain and saw Cao Ying looking out the window with tears streaming down her face. Xu Ping only thought that she couldn't bear it because of too much pressure, so he approached and wanted to hug her into his arms, but she dodged away. Xu Ping was a little embarrassed, this hand was not put in the air, scratched his head, and asked, "What's wrong? Who made Yingying angry?" Cao Ying put her hands behind her back, sniffed, and said, "Why do you knowingly ask?" Xu Ping just wanted to say that things have not yet reached the point of being out of control, he already has ideas, so he doesn't need to be too pessimistic, but he feels that it doesn't seem to match Cao Ying's emotions, Cao Ying doesn't seem to be talking about this, so what is she referring to? Xu Ping said honestly: "Yingying, I don't understand. ”
Cao Ying didn't answer his words, but said to herself: "From taking over my mother's burden to jumping off the cliff, I have supported the huge Dahai Ning Mansion alone over the years, everyone says that I am an iron lady, but who knows that I am not iron, I am also a human being, I will also be tired, and I also want to have a reliance." But I can't be weak, and once I do, someone will come up and tear me to pieces. Not for a moment, not for a moment. Cao Ying said that the emotions behind her became more and more excited, her voice unconsciously became louder, and her reddened eyes began to appear mist again, "The moment I jumped, others thought I was unwilling, but in fact I was relieved." Until you came out from under the waterfall and saved me, I never wanted to live more than that moment. Cao Ying's tears spilled again, and the two traces that had not dried up were moistened, one hand was still behind her back, and the other hand was covering her mouth, and the words behind her were sobbed.
Xu Ping vaguely guessed that the truth might be in the hands of her behind her, but he didn't want to rob it, sometimes he could rob it, and sometimes he had to wait until she finished venting. Cao Ying took a deep breath, glanced at the room, and then said: "The day I spent here is the most relaxing day I have had in the past few years, I can ignore the family business, I can ignore the princeling and the king of Guanzhong, I can ignore this and that, I don't have to be Cao Er's house, I can just be an ordinary girl, just an ordinary girl." Cao Ying remembered the conversation with Pin Yan this morning, as well as the ridiculous idea of never betraying, and the sadness in her heart was even worse. With tears in her eyes, she cried out: "Xu Ping, I hate you, why do you want to do this to me?" Cao Ying slowly sat on the floor, her hair was scattered, and she no longer had the cold breath of the past, maybe this was her truest emotional outpouring, hidden in the burning heart under the iceberg.
Xu Ping didn't see the piece of paper with words written on it in her hand until this time, and squatted down to take the paper. Cao Ying cried, muttered in a low voice why, and did not resist, Xu Ping opened the letter with speckled wet marks, and the letter read: Yuehai Ningfu, can you drink a cup of nothing? Xu Ping looked down and saw the payment, his face changed greatly, how is this possible?
It was none other than the person who left the letter, it was the seventh drop of water in the Water Wave Pavilion that I saw during the day, Ripple.
