One hundred and sixty-eight, meticulous
Nalan Xuyi stood on the top of Mingyue Tower, looking at the desert outside the building, not knowing what he was thinking. It has been five or six days since he and Song Yujie left Yuzhou and arrived here, and Ye Ruying has not been seen.
They arrived two days later than Ye Ruying, and Nalan Xuyi only saw Ye Yuyao who stayed in Mingyue Tower, and she explained Ye Ruying's whereabouts to Nalan Xuyi, so he stayed here. And Song Yujie finally returned to Mingyue Tower, but his grandmother Song Qi was very happy, and he wanted to talk about marrying him, but Song Yujie was intercepted on the grounds that he was forced to marry and run away from home.
"You're here every day watching, maybe one day you're going to stand as a 'Wife Looker'. Song Yujie suddenly spoke, startling Nalan Xuyi to move a step to the side.
"Does it take so many days to go to Khotan?" Nalan Xuyi didn't care about his joke and asked softly.
"It's been a quick time from here, maybe I'm doing some other task. Song Yujie said that he handed a letter to Nalan Xuyi: "You see that the capital has sent a wedding card to Mingyue Tower." It's time for us to go back to the capital. ”
Nalan Xuyi took the letter, opened it and read it carefully: "It seems that she and Yun Xi have seen it, and they specially sent a wedding card for Yazhu to participate, but I don't know where she is." ”
"By the way, you still have a sister, I haven't heard you mention it before......" Song Yujie became curious.
In the distance, on the desert, a figure faintly appeared. She entered Nalan Xuyi's line of sight, she was Ye Ruying, the tiredness of her body made her unable to support herself anymore, she looked at the quiet Mingyue Tower in the sunlight in the distance, and then she fainted in front of her eyes.
Nalan Xuyi saw the person on the desert clearly, and immediately climbed over the guardrail and hurriedly walked away from this person: "Yazhu, Yazhu...... What's wrong with you?"
He hurriedly picked up Ye Ruying, and gently rubbed away the sand stuck to her face, only to see that her eyes were closed, her chapped mouth was white, she was still a lifelong man, and the crown on her head was neatly combed, but her face and body were covered with blood, and the emerald green bamboo on her clothes was dyed reddish-brown.
Nalan Xuyi looked at her distressedly and hurriedly checked her injuries, but this investigation found that she was not injured, and it seemed that the blood stain was not hers. Nalan Xuyi relieved her heart and immediately carried her into Mingyue Tower. Ye Yuyao saw Ye Ruying, who was sleeping in Nalan Xuyi's arms, and urgently cleaned up for her. Nalan Xuyi could only wait quietly outside the door, and Song Yujie also rushed over when he saw this scene.
After half a ring, Ye Yuyao went out of the room and handed Song Yujie a letter, Song Yujie was still wondering, he, the hall master, had not been in the sect all the time, and there was still news for him on the sixth day?
Who knew that Song Yujie took a look, and it turned out to be a letter to his grandmother Song Qi. At this time, when Song Qi was taking a nap, Song Yujie opened it curiously and glanced at it, and then his expression became more and more solemn. Nalan Xuyi had never seen him with such an expression, and quietly glanced at the letter in his hand, but he didn't expect that the content of this letter was written in Sanskrit, and he didn't know what was going on.
"I didn't expect this scumbag to become the sect leader. Song Yujie sighed and put the letter away.
Nalan Xuyi looked at Song Yu's outstanding appearance and said, "You look unwilling. ”
After a while, Song Yujie reacted and replied to him: "I don't have it, I'm not rare." Look at my sister-in-law, I'm going to find my grandmother. ”
"Master Nalan, master, she is just too tired to fall asleep, and there are no wounds on her body or internal injuries. If you want to stay here, sit here, and I'll make tea. Ye Yuyao went out after speaking.
Nalan Xuyi in the room was alone, and this was the first time he walked into Ye Ruying's room. He glanced at the layout of the house, and it was exactly the same as the original furnishings. There were her entourage items on the table, and Nalan Xuyi saw the cinnabar box she gave her at first glance, and most of the paint on this box had fallen off, and she could barely see that there was a lotus pattern on it. Twelve years later, she still remains. This made him happy, and then he picked up the cinnabar box, and opened it gently, only to find that the lid had been detached from the box, and the mirrors inside were shattered into strips, and even some of them fell off. The cinnabar and annatto have long since run out, and a small comb is missing.
Nalan Xuyi stared at the cinnabar box for a long time before putting it down. There were still a few golden lotus flowers on the table, and he pondered it carefully, and with the drawings she drew on the table, it turned out that this was a hidden weapon with a golden needle. This habit was so similar to Yazhi's that his eyes fell on a large loom beside his desk, embroidered with a long unfinished scroll of flying embroidery, and his eyes were even fond.
Then he stood up and saw something out of place in the room, a parchment scroll that Shan Rui had given her. Nalan Xuyi saw the bloody handprint on it, and immediately picked it up and opened it curiously. The smell of blood ensued, a map of the surrounding kingdom of Khotan, with notes in Sanskrit and Chinese.
Then he unfolded the map completely, and saw six names on the parchment, each of which had been crossed out with blood, and the color of the blood varied, as if it had not been completed in a single time. Not only that, but under each name there is a blood-stained nail cover, which was pierced by a gold needle and nailed to this parchment scroll, and the picture was once cruel.
Nalan Xuyi glanced at the sign of the sixth day on the parchment scroll, and wondered if this was the task assigned to her on the sixth day, and she had been doing this for the past few days?
"Childe, please have tea. At this time, Ye Yuyao pushed the door in, she came in with tea, and happened to see Nalan Xuyi holding this parchment roll.
"This is the sixth day, the mission assigned to her?" said Nalan Xuyi, pointing to the parchment scroll.
Ye Yuyao was slightly stunned when she saw the thing in his hand, and then she said, "Yes." ”
"Isn't she going with her every time?"
"The host doesn't take me with him whenever he wants to do this. I am not as good as hers, and I will become a burden to her. ”
"Does she often have to do something like this?"
"Well, four or five missions a month, sometimes one or two days, sometimes dozens of days. ”
Nalan Xuyi felt distressed when he heard Ye Yuyao's answer, he didn't want to ask anymore, he just silently put away the scroll and put it back in its place.
Then he pretended not to know and asked about the cinnabar box: "What is this?"
Ye Yuyao was puzzled when he saw his question: "This is the cinnabar box sent by the son, don't you remember?"
After hearing this, Nalan Xuyi smiled at her: "Do you know about us?"
"Yes, the master often mentions you to me, and her former family. She carries this cinnabar box with her every day, even though the contents are all used up. She is sometimes affected when she fights with people during her work assignments, so it will become like this, and it is not intentional by the owner, please don't mind. Ye Yuyao explained to him.
"It's okay, don't mind. Nalan Xuyi sat down slowly, and was about to take a sip of tea, when suddenly Ye Ruying made a slight sound behind the screen in the room. He thought it was just a dream talk, but Ye Yuyao looked nervous and hurriedly walked over, and then she immediately ran out and said to Nalan Xuyi: "Childe, the 'Fa Ziyin' behind the master has attacked, you can help watch her here first, and I will go to find Granny Song." ”
Nalan Xuyi was a little anxious after hearing this, and heard that this would cause people to flow backwards for a period of time, and its danger level could threaten lives. He immediately stood up and walked over, and then he gently pulled the curtain in front of Ye Ruying's bed, only to see that she was wearing a lilac silk undershirt, and her hair was scattered on the bed. A man huddled in a ball with a quilt.
Nalan Xuyi sat on the edge of her bed, gently taking her hand and pressing her pulse. The pulse was beating so quickly, it was far from the previous stability, and then he took a look at it, the meridians in Ye Ruying's body were indeed countercurrent, and the pain brought to her by Xuantian Gang Qi was even greater, Nalan Xuyi couldn't find a solution for a while, so she had to use the "Cold Water Luoshen" mental method to neutralize the power of Xuantian Gang Qi, although it could not change the fact of reversal, but the gentle skill would make people feel a lot more comfortable.
It lasted like this for half an hour, and Ye Ruying's Faziyin calmed down, and it wasn't until her skills began to turn positive that everything returned to normal, and Nalan Xuyi withdrew her internal strength. He looked at Ye Ruying in his arms, and suddenly remembered that the Sanskrit printed on the Fazi behind her would increase? Then he secretly reached out and untied the straps on Ye Ruying's clothes.
"You, what are you doing?" Ye Ruying seemed to be conscious.
Nalan Xuyi immediately took a hair from her clothes and said weakly, "There is a hair." ”
"Why are you here?" Ye Ruying's tone carried a hint of anger.
"Yazhi and they have already sent things to Yuzhou, and the task of the Changfeng Dart Bureau has also been completed. Now it is very safe in the Zhongwang Mansion in Yuzhou City. Nalan Xuyi mentioned the matter of Yazhi, and Ye Ruying came back to her senses.
"Did Shan Jingdi embarrass them?"
"He was chased away by Applejack and me. ”
Ye Ruying looked up at him in surprise when she heard him say this. She found that Nalan Xuyi was fine, and immediately lay down in the quilt, and said without any emotion: "You, go out." I don't want to see you. In the bedroom of Mingyue Tower, there should be no man. ”
Nalan Xuyi noticed the concern in her eyes, he didn't say a word, stood up and went out.
