Volume 3 Family Hatred and National Hatred 143. Yue Ren Pavilion (continued)
There is another reason for Yue'er to change her mind and let Yue'er stay.
When Chu Ying motioned for him to go upstairs before, Sima Wenzhi had paid attention to the path. The house where he lived at the moment was in the innermost part of the pavilion.
The inside is quiet, but it doesn't face the street. If you want to know what is going on outside, you can either go out and see it yourself, or send someone to see it, and tell him about it when you come back. He didn't want to go out too often, so he had to send others to do it for him.
Yue'er is eight or nine years old, and her mind is shallow, most of them will not lie to him, so she is the right person.
Besides, she was worried that she would be punished after being expelled, and at this moment she was looking very pitiful, which made people feel pity.
From Yue'er, Sima Wenzhi saw his own shadow. When he first arrived at Qingxuan Mountain, although it was not like this, he was also restrained and restrained.
When Sima Wenzhi and Yue'er were talking in the house, in the Yueren Pavilion, Wang Chebai and Chu Ying were also talking.
After dawn, Liu Yilong ordered to patrol the city. Che Bai was the son of the county guard, and was particularly familiar with Jiankang City, and was sent out of the imperial city by the leading generals.
Unlike other guards, Wang Chebai did not go to the rich households in the city after leaving the palace, but came directly to the Yueren Pavilion to see Chu Ying. The general did not specify where to go first, and he could decide the matter alone.
I don't go to the rich in the city, in addition to having something in my heart, there are other reasons. When searching the city, many generals of the forbidden army took the opportunity to loot the people, and he despised them.
"Are you really willing?" asked Chu Ying after welcoming Che Bai in.
"Reluctantly. Che Bai did not hesitate and replied directly.
"Is it really worth it?" Chu Ying didn't believe it and asked again.
"There are some things that cannot be measured by value and non-value. He helped me a lot, and this matter only partially repaid the favor. This time, Wang Chebai thought for a moment before responding.
"You and I had an agreement back then, and after this incident, I also repaid the kindness of your father. Chu Ying reminded after hearing this.
"It's just a pity, it's for a passerby. After reminding her, she said she regretted.
"Is it really just a passerby?" Wang Chebai nodded and muttered.
After fighting with Sima Wen yesterday, Huang Xiao managed to get in touch with the worldly Yuqing disciples. Knowing that it was hundreds of miles away from Jiankang, they hurried to the imperial city.
Before dawn today, the disciples of Yuqing brought people over. Several people worked together to cast a spell, and searched for the assassin in the imperial city without success, knowing that he was no longer in the palace.
At half of noon, after a large number of forbidden palace guards left the palace one after another with portraits, Huang Xiao was sent by Emperor Song and also entered Jiankang City.
Along the way, when he walked in front of the Yueren Pavilion, he saw that there were guards of the forbidden palace at the pavilion gate, so he stepped forward to ask.
After the guard saw Huang Xiao's waist card, he responded vaguely.
Huang Xiao was thoughtful, and the guard's response was not convincing to him, so he had to go in and check. Before he went in, Wang Chebai finished explaining to Chu Ying and walked out.
"Dao Chief, I have checked here, and there is no abnormality. When Che Bai saw Huang Xiao, he stepped forward to salute and took the initiative to greet him.
"Yes or no, I'll find out until I've seen it myself. Huang Xiao insisted.
"Dao Chang really wants to go in?" Che Bai was not annoyed, and opened his mouth to remind.
Not long after Liu Shao's witch Gu incident, Liu Yilong suffered another disaster, and at this time, he attached great importance to the Taoist in front of him. He had no intention of provoking, and there was no reason to provoke.
"What do you mean?" Huang Xiao asked rhetorically after hearing this, with a suspicious face.
"Where is this?" but he quickly reacted and asked again.
"Fireworks Willow Lane. ”
"Bad luck. Huang Xiao had a look of disgust on her face and turned to leave.
In the Yue Ren Pavilion.
When Sima Wenzhi was eating, Yue'er kept watching. After he ran out, he didn't wait for the command and took the initiative to clean up.
After packing up, I was about to leave, and I was stopped as soon as I turned around.
"What's the matter with Childe?" Yue'er stopped and asked.
"Don't rush back, help me go outside and see what's going on the streets. Sima asked.
After entering the Yueren Pavilion, he was still wearing the clothes of the Praetorian Guard. Yue'er had sent ordinary people's clothes before, but Sima Wenzhi didn't find a chance to change them. I asked her to come back later because I wanted to take the opportunity to change it.
But the replacement has not been completed, and Yue'er has returned. He could only hurriedly turn around and tie the belt of his clothes, and he didn't have time to tidy it up.
When I entered the Shangqing Sect at the beginning of the year, there was a similar thing. A few years later, it happened again, and when Sima Wenzhi tied his coat, he couldn't help but think of Ling Shuang.
It's just that although Yue'er and Ling Shuang were the same age back then, their personalities were very different, and they also hurriedly turned around after seeing this scene, and turned back with red cheeks after a long time.
"How's going outside?" It didn't take long for Sima Wenzhi to take the initiative to speak, wanting to break the embarrassing scene inside the house.
"Martial law has been imposed in Jiankang City, and there are officers and soldiers patrolling the streets. Yue'er responded shyly.
"When I came back, I inquired with the sisters in the cabinet, and I heard that the officials and soldiers not only patrolled, but also began to search people's homes. After responding, she added.
After Sima asked, he was worried.
If the officers and soldiers were just patrolling the streets, he only had to hide in the pavilion. But if it was a house-to-house search, he would have to leave before he was found.
Although Chu Ying told him not to worry, he would inform him in advance when something happened. But this matter should be Emperor Song's personal will, and it is unpredictable how long she can last.
"Yue'er, I have something to ask for. After thinking about it, Sima asked him to speak again.
"It is my duty to wait for the son, and if you ask for something, it doesn't hurt to say it. Yue'er opened her mouth and agreed.
"After that, every two hours, he went outside to see the situation and reported it to me. Sima asked him to say what he was asking for.
"You won't do it in vain. When he pleaded, he put his hand into his arms.
But after groping for a while, there were no other items except for the copy of the rubbing in the Ancient Wind Pavilion. Only then did he remember that the important belongings on his body had been hidden by him in Qinglong Mountain a few days ago and had not been brought with him.
For a moment, it was extremely embarrassing.
When Sima asked about the action, Yue'er watched from the sidelines. Seeing him like this, there were some speculations in my heart.
"It's a great fortune to be able to wait for Gongzi here, and Yue'er doesn't dare to ask for anything more. She then spoke, also trying to resolve the embarrassment.
Sima asked if he didn't understand, and his face was puzzled.
"Compared to Childe, most of the other people in the pavilion are rude, not like Childe. Yue'er explained when she saw this.
After that, every two hours, Yue'er would go to the gate of the Yueren Pavilion to look out as instructed. After investigating, I will go back and ask Sima about it.
After three or four days, the situation in the city did not change much.
Jiankang City is still grounded all day, and the officers and soldiers are still searching from house to house. There will still be people who express their dissatisfaction and return to calm after being taught a lesson by the officers and soldiers.
In the past few days spent peacefully, Sima Wenzhi has not been idle.
Although important items were hidden by him in the mountains, some things had been memorized by him. While you wait, you can study.
