Chapter Twenty-Four: The Man in Black

Baiyun Temple is located in the middle of Baiyun Mountain, and it is also surrounded by clouds and mist all year round, like a fairyland. On the left and right sides of the Baiyun Temple, there are two attached exquisite small courtyards, which were once prepared for those distinguished guests to rest. Now, the Baiyun Temple has royal dignity, and these two courtyards are rarely open to people. In the past few days, this exquisite courtyard has been inhabited by a female guest, a female guest with a small temper.

Zhu Yingying once again smashed the new furnishings in the room. After smashing, the anger is gone, and the person is too tired to work. She sat down on the soft couch in front of the window, staring at a red plum tree outside the window in a daze.

Seeing a red plum tree, Zhu Yingying remembered the young man who had not seen her twice, but she was deeply impressed, and now she didn't know what happened to him? Could it be that someone had already harmed her? At the thought that the young man might be gone, Zhu Yingying's chest ached uncomfortably. If it weren't for her, how could they stay away from Guiyunzhuang, and how could they have been caught drugged?

She was lucky, such a conspicuous figure, such a prominent identity, and she was recognized by them not long after she was sent. The three of them were surprised, so they locked her and Shui Sleeve here. Neither kill nor release, just keep it locked up. And will the boy named Mo Langyue have such good luck as her?

Hearing footsteps at the door, Zhu Yingying said without looking back: "Shui Sleeve, how is the investigation? Why did they arrest people for no reason, and they also arrested some young people?"

"County Lord, Shui Sleeve tried his best to investigate, but he only roughly knew that they were refining an elixir and wanted to use clean blood to nourish it, so he ......"

Zhu Yingying's anger that had just calmed down immediately rushed up again, only to see her stand up, slap the table, and shout: "So...... So can you just arrest people everywhere? Who gave them the guts, does the emperor know about it?"

"County Lord, be quiet!" Shui Sleeve hurriedly stepped forward and made a shushing motion, and sat down with Zhu Yingying in one hand.

"What are you afraid of, if you have the ability, they will kill the county lord!" Zhu Yingying said with a wave of her hand, sweeping the only safe teapot on the table to the ground, and the teapot fragments and water stains were splashed everywhere in the room.

Shui Sleeve hurriedly reached out to cover Zhu Yingying's mouth, and said hurriedly: "County Lord...... Don't you want to think about it, they have already dared to lock us up, are they still afraid of killing?"

Zhu Yingying was slightly stunned, and the raging anger in her heart suddenly subsided a lot, but what followed was a trace of panic. After sitting for a long time, Zhu Yingying raised her head and looked at Shui Sleeve with a worried expression, and said, "You say, they won't really kill us, right?"

Shui Sleeve's expression was solemn, and he muttered: "It's hard to say, so you must not lose your temper, what if they are in a hurry and kill us? We are locked up here, no one knows, isn't it in vain to die if we die? It is not a pity for the slave and maid to die, but the county lord, you have golden branches and jade leaves, and you have no tricks to recruit the county horse, isn't it a pity to die?"

"No...... Let's go!" Shui Sleeve's words made Zhu Yingying's heart even more panicked.

Shui Sleeve snorted lightly and continued: "What's not, they call it killing people and destroying mouths, and slaves and maids have seen a lot in the palace." As long as people don't know it, even if we really die at their hands, they don't have to be involved. ”

"That'...... What should I do, what should I do?" Zhu Yingying was completely stunned, obviously losing her bearings.

Shui Sleeve couldn't bear it, and comforted him softly: "County Lord, let's not cry or make trouble, just stay here and watch the changes." Water sleeves believe that things will still turn around. ”

"Really?"

"Of course it's true, seeing that they didn't kill us in the first place, it means that they are still unwilling to do things absolutely and want to leave a way back. ”

Zhu Yingying's eyes lit up, and then she had a small face, opened her innocent big eyes, nodded obediently, and said, "Sister, I will listen to you, and I won't lose my temper anymore!"

Shui Sleeve smiled and comforted: "This is good, your identity as the county lord is there, it is naturally a big deal if people disappear, and there will be people looking for them in a hurry, so they don't dare to harm us easily, but they don't dare to let us go." ”

"Will anyone be looking for us?"

Zhu Yingying is not as optimistic as Shui Sleeve. Since her grandfather's death, she has not had any sense of existence as the county lord, and no one cares about her adult life. If it weren't for the shelter of her grandfather and father, maybe she would have died somewhere.

"Someone will definitely look for it, the county lord is the only blood and blood of the former prince, and he is the granddaughter of the former emperor, and the royal face is still needed, so they must be in a hurry to find you. ”

"Alright then!"

"That's right, I believe that the Min father and son will be able to find us as soon as possible. ”

Shui Sleeve said and opened the food box on the table, took out four dishes and a bowl of soup, and said with a smile: "So, we must eat and dress warmly before we can wait slowly." Ah, this is the slave's own cooking, and it is the county lord's favorite dish...... Taste it. ”

Seeing the food, Zhu Yingying had a smile on her face. I saw that she quickly picked up the chopsticks and tasted them, and then said: "Yes, yes, yes, yes, you know me best." ”

Shui Sleeve looked at Zhu Yingying's sweet food, couldn't help but smile, reached out and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said: "Although the county lord can rest assured, Shui Sleeve will definitely sacrifice his life to protect you, and then help the county lord choose a gentle, handsome and satisfactory county horse, and then Shui Sleeve will be willing even if he dies." ”

"Don't say death, I want you and me to live well...... We want to live well together!" Zhu Yingying said vaguely as she pouted on food, and glared at Shui Sleeve at the end.

"Okay, okay, when the time comes, Shui Sleeve will serve the county lord and the county horse together, okay?"

Zhu Yingying put down the dishes and chopsticks, looking quite helpless.

"Don't keep mentioning the county horse, okay, who would want me like this? It's better to be an old girl for the rest of your life. ”

"This can't be done, Mama Yun and I don't agree, even the emperor won't agree. ”

"What then?"

"It's easy to do, as long as it is the county lord's favorite, we will let the emperor let him be the master, and then see who dares to do it!"

"Shui Sleeve, when will you learn to overwhelm people with power?" Zhu Yingying glared at her with disgust, and said angrily: "Hurry up and eat!"

Shui Sleeve grinned and said, "Lord Xie." ”

"Okay, okay, there are no county lords here, only Zhu Yingying and the girl with water sleeves, eat quickly!"

Mizusleeve also picked up the bowl and ate slowly. For the lord of her family, she has a love and pity in her heart that does not match her age. is obviously a golden branch and jade leaf, but because of this identity, she lacks love and warmth, and has no father, mother and no one to care for her since she was a child. Except for Mama Yun and her water sleeves, the county lord has almost no bosom friends when he is so old, and some are just flatterers and some sarcastic people. Fortunately, the county lord is naturally optimistic and does not like to care, and his life is still passing. Although such a day is lonely, it is safe and unenvious.

In this way, year after year, Lord Yingjun reached the age of marriage, but he became fatter and fatter. The emperor wanted to give marriage, so he privately asked a group of important ministers of the court if they were willing, but when they saw that everyone shook their heads, they were afraid to avoid it. The emperor did not want to lose face, and begged someone to marry his daughter. So she extinguished the idea of marriage, but gave a decree to the county lord, saying that she was pitiful of her fatherless and motherless, so she was authorized to find a lovely person by herself.

As soon as the emperor Chrysostom opened, she and Mama Yun were both in love. So he came up with the idea of letting the county lord play the emperor and go out to the Valley of the Kings to practice. Unexpectedly, the emperor agreed, maybe the niece couldn't marry, and the emperor's uncle was also anxious, so he agreed.

Shui Sleeve and Mama Yun had good intentions, thinking that maybe going out to practice martial arts could make her fake county lord lose weight and get married. But as soon as I entered the rivers and lakes, I realized that the Valley of the Kings was not so easy to go to, the rivers and lakes were not so easy to break through, the flesh on the county lord was not so easy to reduce, and the rare 'objects' such as the county horses were not so easy to find. Although there are many difficulties, she can't stand her water sleeves and has confidence, believing that she will be able to find a good county horse for the county lord that everyone envies, so as to be worthy of her identity and beauty.
