Chapter 225 Lying corpse
Jiang Xiaobai knew that someone was following him on the way to the latrine, so he turned a corner and climbed over the wall, and he didn't care what was outside the wall. It turned out that outside the fence was still a courtyard, empty and full of firewood.
These firewoods must have been used in the kitchen to make a fire, so Lao Zhao and they could find them at any time, so they didn't dare to stay, so they found another wall and turned over.
The scenery on this side of the wall has changed greatly, pavilions and pavilions, rockeries and flowing water, flowers and trees are planted everywhere, although it is winter, but it is also full of scenery, compared to the two courtyards just now, like clouds and mud.
Jiang Xiaobai landed in a bush, and suddenly saw more than ten girls walking on the bluestone path in the distance, dressed like a flock of birds, chattering non-stop, and bursts of laughter came after a while.
Jiang Xiaobai hurriedly buried his head in the bushes, didn't dare to move, didn't dare to breathe, and waited until the group of girls walked away, they dared to poke their heads out, stick to the wall, and walked for a while. However, he found that this place was like Hua Huichun's harem, and from time to time women popped up, without a man, causing him to hide all the way to Tibet, thinking that it was not a way to go on like this, the risk was too great in the daytime, and this kind of sneaky thing should be done at night to be more neat. So he found a bush in the middle of nowhere, and lay down in it.
He lay down until late at night, then crawled out of the bushes, and walked forward against the wall, but he had no clue, he was not familiar with this place, and he didn't know where to go, anyway, there was a wall blocking him to turn over, and there was a wall blocking him to climb over, and he didn't know how many walls he had climbed, he felt that he was either here to find the pill, or to climb over the wall to play, once he actually turned outside the palace, looking at the reckless green mountains outside, Jiang Xiaobai's head was big, but he had no choice but to turn back.
But he tossed all night, and he didn't find a place like the pill, but he was almost found several times, and he couldn't help but be a little discouraged, thinking that it was not a way to find it like this, and the pill was about to be discovered if he didn't find it, so he had to think about it in the long run.
At this moment, a rooster's crowing pierced the sky, and it was almost dawn.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't dare to turn over again, it just happened to fall in a small courtyard, there was a big flower pond in the corner, there was a big bush in it, Jiang Xiaobai lay in it like a corpse, for him, this bush was like a big coffin, lying in it couldn't move, and he didn't dare to breathe.
The sky slowly brightened, and in a moment the sun rose. This small courtyard is quiet, and the sound of speech cannot be heard, and occasionally a small footstep can be heard.
At this moment, two women came out of the room, one of whom sat down at the stone table in the courtyard, and the other woman brought a pot of tea from the house, poured a cup and put it on the table.
The woman who was sitting stood up with the tea again, and slowly walked to the flower pond, due to the dense bushes, Jiang Xiaobai heard the footsteps slowly approaching, but she couldn't see anything, she was a little nervous in her heart, could it be that she was discovered?
The woman stopped when she walked to the edge of the flower bed, and sighed, "These flowers and plants have not been pruned for a long time, they have grown into shapeless, you go and bring the scissors, and I will prune them!"
The other woman answered and went back to her room to get the scissors.
Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback, isn't this coming to lift his coffin board? I couldn't help but scold secretly in my heart, you lazy woman, you don't prune for so many days, you will trim as soon as I come, Chengxin can't get along with me, isn't it?
I secretly calculated in my heart that instead of lying here and waiting to die, it was better to fight to the death, if the other party's cultivation was not high, before they called for help, they would kill people and bury them in this flower bed, and they could still occupy this small courtyard, but they would kill two birds with one stone. But this is Zihua Palace, the masters are like clouds, and even the gatekeepers are Jin Dou, in case these two women are higher than him, then he will really die without a place to be buried. Even if the cultivation of these two people is similar to him, as long as he misses one blow, once he alarms the people outside, with his ability, it is really a fool's dream to want to kill out of Zihua Palace.
But he no longer has a choice, either live or die, just in one move.
By this time the scissors had been taken out of the room, and handed to the woman, who had exchanged the scissors for a teacup, and stepped into the flower bed and walked towards the bushes.
Jiang Xiaobai knew that he couldn't wait any longer, so he secretly contemplated, suddenly jumped up from the bushes, and stabbed at the woman with his sword.
The woman didn't expect that there would be someone in the bushes, and she was so frightened that she forgot to shout.
Jiang Xiaobai saw this woman's appearance clearly at this time, it was not someone else, but Princess Kexia.
Jiang Xiaobai was taken aback, but he had tried his best to hit it with one blow, the sword moved like light, and in a blink of an eye, it had already stabbed Ke Xia's chest, he couldn't retract his strength, so he could only pick the sword aside, even so, the blade still cut through her clothes and cut a wound on her shoulder.
Although his sword was provoked, his body couldn't stop, his center of gravity was unstable, and he hit Ke Xia's body, and the two faces kissed together, knocking Ke Xia to the point of almost falling, but fortunately, Jiang Xiaobai's eyes were quick and grabbed her waist.
But Xia was standing behind Caihe, and only then did he scream in fright, and after seeing that it was Jiang Xiaobai, he hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand.
After Kexia gained a firm foothold, Jiang Xiaobai let go of his hand, and the two looked at each other, and exclaimed at the same time: "It's you?"
Thinking of kissing Jiang Xiaobai just now, Ke Xia's face suddenly turned red.
At this time, two patrols passing by outside, heard the screams of Caihe, and hurriedly rushed up, looked around the yard, and hurriedly said, "Madam, what happened?"
Ke Xia's eyes rolled and he said, "Yes...... There are rats. ”
Caihe nodded and said, "Yes, yes, there are mice." ”
The patrolman saw the blood on Ke Xia's shoulder and exclaimed, "Madam, are you injured?"
But Xia panicked: "No, no, it's just that I accidentally spilled rouge water just now." ”
Although the patrolling couldn't figure out why the rouge water would spill their clothes if it was sprinkled, they were subordinates after all, so they didn't dare to ask more, so they said, "Madame is fine." ”
Ke Xia said: "I'm fine, you guys go out!"
The two patrolmen answered and withdrew.
But Xia hurriedly said to Caihe: "Close the door quickly and catch mice!"
Caihe hurriedly rushed over, closed the courtyard door and bolted it.
The mouse crawled out of the bushes, walked in front of Ke Xia, hugged his fists and said: "Xiaobai didn't know that it was Her Royal Highness the princess, he injured the princess by mistake, and asked the princess to forgive him." ”
But Xia is usually reserved and steady, and his mood is invisible, but at this time, he can't help but show joy on his face, and said: "It's just a small injury, it's not a surprise!" and looked at him in a daze, and said, "Are you coming to see me?"
When they met for the first time, Jiang Xiaobai heard that she was married to Zihua Palace, but he had already forgotten about it, where did he remember? ”
But Xia was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "You didn't come to find me, but you met me here, it's really providential!"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said: "It's really providence, I climbed over the wall all night, but I stopped here, I can't believe it." ”
But Xia was stunned: "You came in over the wall?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "That's right! It's so hard that my hands are about to get calloused." ”
Ke Xia laughed and said, "I didn't expect that the cool marquis of the Xia Kingdom in the hall would also climb over the wall? ”
Jiang Xiaobai saw that he finally didn't have to lie down, and he was overjoyed, and nodded: "Okay!"
followed Ke Xia into the house, the two sat down opposite each other at the table, and Cai He served tea. Jiang Xiaobai said: "Princess, do you want to let Caihe bandage your injuries first?"
Ke Xia shook his head lightly and said: "Physical injuries, if you don't care about it, it will heal on its own, unlike spiritual injuries, you just heal every day, and the pain will not be alleviated in the slightest." By the way, how is my brother doing now?"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Your Highness, everything is fine. ”
Ke Xia nodded and said: "That's good, during this time, I often sent people to Zhongxia to inquire, I also heard about you, you are very amazing, I didn't look at the wrong person at the beginning, and I didn't trust anyone." ”
Jiang Xiaobai said: "The princess has praised it, and I am in danger now." ”
Ke Xia said: "Although you dance on the tip of the knife, your heart is free, galloping the world, and you can go wherever you want!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "The princess envies my freedom, but I envy the princess's excellent travel years!"
Ke Xia smiled bitterly and said: "I know, everyone has to envy me, born in the emperor's family, like the stars holding the moon, extremely noble, and now marrying into Zihua Palace, it is unattainable, although I have not opened the void and show the seal, but I don't need to take the Qi Condensing Pill, I can still live a few hundred years old." Sometimes I think about it myself, God does treat me well, but I am not happy, I would rather be born in an ordinary family, with the person I love to stay with each other, he ploughs the fields, I weave, he has me in his heart, I have him in my heart, even if I live such a day for a year, I will be content. But look at me now, what's the difference between being in prison and being in prison? Just like a canary in a cage, although food and clothing are worry-free, what is the point of such a day even if it is a thousand or 10,000 years?"
Jiang Xiaobai was stunned: "The princess doesn't love your husband?"
But Xia smiled bitterly again and said, "In his eyes, I am just a body that vents animal desires, how can I talk about love?"
Jiang Xiaobai sighed and said, "A marriage without feelings is indeed cruel. ”
But Xia's expression suddenly changed, his face was bright, and he said with a smile: "But I'm happy if you're here!"
But Xia is very beautiful, and the smile is even more beautiful, like a blooming peony, dignified and generous. Jiang Xiaobai's heart moved, and he smiled: "I'm also very happy to see the princess." ”
Ke Xia pursed his lips and said, "It's fine if you don't leave." ”
Jiang Xiaobai said in his heart, wouldn't that be an adulterer, a husband, an adulterer, and a woman? smiled and said, "It's a pity that this place doesn't belong to me." ”
