The rice is steamed and soft white rice, the dish is the most home-cooked side dish, and the wine is sweet and sour appetizing plum wine, which has always been appetizing. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

In addition, the moonlight is sultry, the surrounding environment is quiet and elegant, and the maid waiting next to her is very beautiful, Tang Ci couldn't help but eat an extra bowl of rice, and Ye Jinyi couldn't help but drink a small glass of wine than usual, although she didn't drink on weekdays.

The food was placed in a small courtyard, and there was a very ordinary small stove next to the dining table, and the charcoal in the stove was red, and from time to time there was a slight popping sound, so that it did not make people feel very cold.

A gust of cold wind blew, and the half-open window rattled, and the maid on the side hurriedly stepped forward to close the window, and quickly stood back beside Lu Nian again.

Ye Jinyi naturally knew why this servant girl was unwilling to leave Lu Nian half a step, just looking at the vigilance and hostility revealed in the maid's eyes from time to time, Ye Jinyi knew that this servant girl regarded them as enemies.

Not only that, but the light work of this handmaid must also be beautifully tight.

Now the small courtyard where they are located is in the most corner of the Lu Mansion, compared to those tall and magnificent pavilions that are very dilapidated at this time, this small courtyard seems too ordinary and ordinary, and even a little shabby.

There are three small cabins that are not very spacious, two of which are bedrooms, the other is a living room for entertaining guests, and even the kitchen is just a simple shed under the eaves.

There are some evergreen saplings planted in the yard, and some places are directly turned into a vegetable field, and there is a small thatched pavilion in the middle of the open space, and in the pavilion is the stone table and stone bench where Ye Jinyi and others are now eating.

Although it seems too simple and not spacious enough, the yard is very neat, and it can be seen that the owner of the courtyard often picks it up.

Not only that, compared with those extravagant and brilliant Yuyu Qionglou that exudes fairy energy, this courtyard is full of popularity.

Under the eaves hung air-dried bacon and pickles, some hare furs on the walls, and some old hoes and shovels leaned on the pillars by the window, which unconsciously made people think that the owner of this yard was probably just a young man from a peasant family, who would have thought that at this time sitting opposite the night brocade clothes was actually a personable young man.

These are nothing, but the road from the small pavilion to the house is not paved with stones or paved, but the most ordinary dirt road, so no matter how many times the road has been walked and trampled on how solidly, there is always a thin layer of soft soil on the road.

But the beautiful maidservant sister walked this way from the pavilion to the outside of the house, closed the window and returned to the pavilion, but today's moon is big and round enough, the moonlight is bright enough, and the eyes of the night brocade clothes are also very good.

Therefore, Ye Jinyi could only see that the maid had gone back and forth twice without leaving footprints on the dusty road.

Of course, there are two possibilities, one is that this maid is a beautiful female ghost with no figure, and the other is that this maid's light skills are too superb, to the point that the night brocade clothes may not be able to match.

But when this maid walked through the path, the moonlight reflected her shadow in the flowers on the side of the road, there are no ghosts in this world, and even if there are, ghosts should have no shadows.

So, the answer is self-explanatory.

Ye Jinyi put down the chopsticks in his hand, looked at the maid and smiled: "Presumably it was this girl who took the Weeping Blood Sword." ”

No sooner had her words been spoken than a dart shot towards her brow, extremely fast, its trajectory clearly visible, but almost impossible to dodge.

Tang Ci heard Ye Jinyi's words, and was raising his head to look at the girl in Ye Jinyi's mouth, who knew that he caught a glimpse of this shining cold light dart shooting towards Ye Jinyi, before he could call out, he saw a chopstick hit diagonally, knocked the dart off, and shot straight into the wooden pillar of the small pavilion.

As soon as Ye Jinyi raised his hand, his fingertips caught the bamboo chopsticks.

At this time, the handmaiden's hand was still shooting darts, and Lu Nian's left hand was already resting on the table, but there was only a bamboo chopstick left on the bowl in front of him.

Ye Jinyi smiled, put the bamboo chopsticks in his hand back on Lu Nian's bowl, and said, "Thank you Lu Gongzi." ”

Lu Nian nodded apologetically at Ye Jinyi, then covered his mouth and nose and coughed lightly, glanced at the maidservant and said, "Sister Roujia, how can you be so rude to a guest?"

Lu Nian's face was still soft, but his tone carried a kind of majesty without a trace, which made Roujia's body tremble slightly, and she hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Childe, the slave knows her mistake." ”

Lu Nian smiled, raised his hand to support Rou Jia, and when Rou Jia got up, he said: "Sister Rou Jia, when the guest asks, you answer yes, if you hear the truth, you will shoot like this, wouldn't it be a loss of grace." ”

Roujia bowed her head and said, "Yes, Childe." ”

Lu Nian picked up the cup and took a sip of plum wine unhurriedly before saying, "Then you will answer the guest, did you steal the Weeping Blood Sword?"

When Ye Jinyi heard this, the corners of her mouth hooked, and she just looked at Lu Nian quietly, she really wanted to know what trick Lu Nian was playing, because all this Lu Nian did was really puzzling.

Rou Jia hesitated for a while, then raised her feet and walked to Ye Jinyi's side, and arched her hand: "The Weeping Blood Sword was indeed stolen by the little woman, so I was in a hurry to attack Childe, please don't take Childe to heart." ”

Ye Jinyi didn't look at Rou Jia, she only hooked her lips and said: "Lu Gongzi, I have seen many people and experienced many things in my life, but it is the first time I have seen such a frank person as Lu Gongzi. Frankly—"

Ye Jinyi raised her eyes, stared at Lu Nian's eyes, and said word by word: "It's terrifying." ”

Lu Nian smiled: "Among them, does it also include Ye Gongzi?"

Ye Jinyi pursed her lips and smiled: "Naturally." ”

Lu Nian shook his head and said, "Ye Gongzi's frankness, I'm afraid it's only reached a terrifying point. ”

Ye Jinyi held her eyes and did not answer.

The Lu family continued: "Ye Gongzi said that he came here for two things, and he didn't come to Xingshi to ask about the crime, so I want to know, what is Ye Gongzi doing?"

Hearing this, Tang Ci's eyes fell on Ye Jinyi's face, he was also very curious, Ye Jinyi, as the young master of the Boundless Villa, didn't come here to get justice for the Boundless Villa, did he just want to get back the Weeping Blood Sword?

Ye Jinyi stood up, stood at the edge of the pavilion, first looked up at the bright moon, and then slowly turned around to look at Lu Nian and said: "The Lu family has always been indifferent to the world, why did they attack the Weeping Blood Sword this time? ”

Lu Nian straightened his sleeves, slowly stood up, walked to Ye Jinyi's side, looked at the night scene in the courtyard, and said with a smile: "Do you want to know who is behind me?"

Ye Jinyi nodded and said, "Yes." ”

Lu Nian said slowly: "A hero who can't be considered a hero." ”

Hearing this, Ye Jinyi chuckled, turned his head to look at Lu Nian's side face and said with a suspicious tone: "A hero who is not a hero?"

Lu Nian said: "I grew up here, and in the past 20 years, I have watched the once prosperous Lu family come to this step, if you are lonely and unwilling, there are some, but it will never cause any turmoil to the martial arts, so the past 20 years have been dull." But this hero is a smart man and knows my knot, so I went to help him get the weeping blood sword. ”

Ye Jinyi's eyes were stunned for a moment, and he asked, "Who is that hero?"

Lu Nian seemed to be a little surprised by this question, hooked his head and glanced at Ye Jinyi, and said, "I thought you would ask me, what is the heart knot?"

Ye Jinyi said: "The heart knot has never been easy to say, so why should I ask?"

Lu Nian nodded and said: "What you said is good, but after all, I am a scholar, and I understand that betraying a friend has never been a gentleman's act, not to mention that friend can be regarded as a respectable hero, why do you need to ask?"

Ye Jinyi sighed and said, "Lu Gongzi is right. So I'm going to talk about the second thing. ”

Lu Nian raised his hand and said, "Please." ”

Ye Jinyi turned around and faced Lu Nian, and said with a grim face: "Lu Gongzi himself admitted that this Weeping Blood Sword was stolen from the Imperial Sword Villa, so please ask Lu Gongzi to return the Weeping Blood Sword, so that I can clear this trumped-up charge from the Boundless Villa." ”

Lu Nian smiled, stared sideways at Ye Jinyi for a long time, and then smiled heartily and said, "Okay." ”

"Smack-"

Before Ye Jinyi could react to Lu Nian's answer, he heard the sound of something shattering, turned his head, and saw Tang Ci in a hurry, so he asked in a deep voice, "Little brother, what's wrong?"

Tang Ci hurriedly bent down to dispose of the broken cup, and waved his hand at Ye Jinyi and said, "It's okay, I accidentally broke a cup, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." ”

Lu Nianrou smiled: "It's nothing, just a cup." ”

As he spoke, Lu Nian turned his head and instructed Rou Jia: "Sister Rou Jia, the person who comes is a guest, how can you bother the guest, please ask my sister to clean up." ”

After saying that, Lu Nian walked towards Ye Jinyi, as if he was about to say something, but he had no intention of glancing at Tang Ci, and saw the book that Tang Ci had been holding in his hand.

"Tang Gongzi has been holding this book in his hand, what kind of treasure is this book?" Lu Nian's face was smiling, but his tone revealed a hint of danger, which made Ye Jinyi feel strange.

Because even when she asked Lu Nian those sharp questions, Lu Nian did not reveal such dangerous emotions, but at this time, just because of the book in Tang Ci's hand, Lu Nian's entire aura changed slightly.

Ye Jinyi was more curious about Tang Ci's book, or rather, he was more curious about Tang Ci as a person.

When Tang Ci heard this, he first glanced at the book in his hand, then hurriedly stood up and explained: "No, no, this book is a record of what I saw and heard on the road, count, it's not a treasure." ”

"I see. ”
