In the early summer of Lizhou Mansion, it gets dark a little late. In the past few days, the dinner time of Wensi Villa has also been very late, from one quarter to three o'clock every day, only one guard is left next to the courtyard gate in the courtyard where Yun Qinglin and I live, and the rest of the guards are temporarily merged into the patrol team of the villa. Lin Li, who had just died, may have discovered this pattern and happened to get the food he was going to give me.

Put away the wind chimes, wrap the seven-star dart on the ground with several layers of handkerchiefs, and hide it. Glancing back at the dinner sent by Lin Li on the table, he was thinking about what to do with it, when he heard Yun Qinglin leading the guards all the way back.

The door to the room was not closed, and Yun Qinglin stopped outside my door, he obviously noticed the untouched food on the table, and looked at me with inquiring eyes.

"I want to eat noodles. "An excuse came to mind.

Yun Qinglin beckoned a maid and commanded in a low voice. The maid saluted outside the door, went first to the window, closed it half and closed it, and then went around behind me and took the food from the table.

My eyes couldn't help but lift, and the wind chimes that hung on the window before might have also been seen by Yun Qinglin.

"By the way, I'm going to stay in Lizhou for a few more days. Yun Qinglin said to me.

The appointment with Tang Lingshu was the day after tomorrow, and I quickly calculated it in my mind and replied to him: "Then I'll go back first." ”

Yun Qinglin's eyes widened slightly, he probably didn't expect me to reply to him like this, looking at me, speechless for a while.

I had to look back at him with clear eyes.

I heard Yun Qinglin sigh, leave a word, turn around and leave.

"That's fine. ”

Everything went smoothly, I was satisfied with the table and sat down, as soon as I looked down, I saw the teacup used by Wen Renxiang, the tea was cold, and of course the teacup was cold.

Brief loss of mind.

A quarter of an hour later, the maid from before reappeared, holding a bowl of noodles in her hand.

Clear soup noodles with a plate of braised pork on the side.

As soon as my heart was hot, I raised my chopsticks and tossed for a day, and I was finally hungry. The crystal clear noodles and the flavor are fragrant, and they are on par with the fish pancakes you eat in the morning.

On the second day of recuperation, Pan Yuchen rarely brought Yu Yao to visit the door, although they talked about some of the past when she and Yun Qinglin got along happily.

"I heard it, you and Yun Qinglin are childhood sweethearts, right?" I tilted my head to look at her.

Yu Yao laughed one step ahead of Pan Yuchen, she nodded violently, and agreed with my description: "That's what our little Miss Pan meant." ”

"Little Miss Pan?" Pan Yuchen's voice was a step higher.

Yu Yao hurriedly booed with her hands.

"Qingmei, your cheeks like new peaches are the most obsessive picture of my youth. I cleared my throat and read it.

"Bamboo horse, your heroic posture of riding a horse in the sun is an infatuation that cannot be left in my heart. Yu Yao followed my words and read the second half of the sentence. After reading it, she made a gesture of shutting up again.

Pan Yuchen took a step away from me and Yu Yao, glanced at us out of the corner of his eye, and said seriously: "This seems to be the line in the script I wrote, right?"

I blinked the corner of my eyes, and suddenly said: "Miss Pan is amorous and chic, it turns out that she is sensitive, no wonder it is so profound." ”

Yu Yao didn't dare to act too unscrupulous, so she only pursed her lips and snickered on the side.

"There is a Shen Gongzi in Lincheng, Liuzhou, who has done a lot of interesting things in order to express his admiration to Miss Nian Bixue in the Spring and Autumn Courtyard. It is like making a high wooden frame with wheels that can be moved, he stands on it with a jade tree facing the wind, everyone pushes the high wooden frame, and the maids follow on both sides, some holding a large handful of smoking incense candles, and some sprinkle flower petals on Shen Gongzi's body. From the perspective of Nian Bixue's room, it really looks like an immortal monarch descended to earth and floated outside the courtyard wall. ”

As soon as the topic changed, I raised my eyebrows and asked, "Have you Miss Pan also done such creative moves?"

Before Yu Yao finished listening to my story, she couldn't stop laughing: "This Shen Gongzi is precisely because he consulted our Miss Pan to get this ** clever plan." Our Miss Pan is a complete planning expert in this regard. ”

I suddenly said: "I see, I've always wondered who was plotting behind Shen Gongzi, and it was his own idea to bite him to death." Finally, I found out the truth. ”

"Shen Gongzi still understands the rules, and his tone is tight. Well, next time, I'll reward him with an even more fantastic plan. Pan Yuchen commented lightly.

"It's nothing, our Miss Pan also has the most powerful trick, which is to deal with the negative person who empathizes with other loves. Yu Yao said mysteriously.

Before I heard the text, a creepy aura came to my face.

"Perform acupuncture to erase the memory of the negative person. Yu Yao paused word by word and spoke eloquently.

"Classic and mysterious tricks. Many girls in the Spring and Autumn Courtyard have this idea, but they only talk about it casually, because it is just a beautiful and distant wish. I didn't take this sentence seriously, and I didn't pay too much attention to the deep eyes condensed in Pan Yuchen's eyes.

"In short, our Miss Pan likes Yun Dagongzi very much. After the playful atmosphere was quiet for a moment, Yu Yao whispered.

The air stagnated for a few seconds, and I smiled and replied softly, "Le Zhen is no longer alive." ”

Pan Yuchen looked at me quietly, and rarely smiled slightly, but the smile became more and more bitter the more he looked at it.

Early on the morning of the third day, I packed my luggage and knocked on Yun Qinglin's door to say goodbye to him.

When I first came to his room a few days ago, he was sitting at his desk with a book in his hand. At this moment, Yun Qinglin was also sitting at the table, looking light and light.

He looked down at the book, nodded, and said, "Go ahead, be careful on the road." ”

Suddenly, I laughed, but he couldn't see it.

turned around and went back to the room to get his luggage, left the small courtyard, and picked a small path, which seemed random, but finally entered Wenrenxiang's other courtyard.

Sandalwood scent. Refreshing sandalwood scent.

In the huge courtyard, there is only one person in Wenrenxiang. She stood in the pavilion, looking at the weeping willows opposite. Her right palm was raised, level, and between her index and middle fingers was a half-lit sandalwood stick.

"Who speaks of flowers and leaves in early summer? I smiled and spoke.

"The white bird flies east day and night, and a smile is cherished. When Wen Renxiang spoke, he still stood in place, looking at the weeping willows.

The fine smoke from the sandalwood rose quickly, around her face, and then spread and melted into the surroundings. The lines of the willow branches are delicate and smooth, but they are not as good as the lines of Wenrenxiang's face. I looked at her a few more times, and finally tightened my shoulders.

"Sister, I'm leaving. I said softly.

"Well, go ahead. She replied softly.

When I left Wensi Villa, I suddenly wanted to drink and get drunk. When I see Tang Lingshu, I can take him to get drunk together, I don't know, will he agree? Probably, he will.

As I thought, I couldn't help but speed up. In order to prevent being tracked, I blurred my itinerary several times. It just so happened that around noon, I arrived at the Golden County Snack Bar, which sells fish and pancakes.

However, when I saw the people who were waiting for me, my joy collapsed in an instant.

A man who was as tall and thin as Tang Lingshu, although he had the most ordinary face, his eyes were extremely cold and ruthless. He clasped his hands to his chest, his left hand had long fingers that looked extremely sharp, and his right hand grasped a very ordinary-looking long sword.

His name is Ruthless Sword, and yes, Ruthless Sword is his name. He is the sharpest sword in the hands of the current patriarch of the Shui clan, Lady Mu Xiang, and is also her messenger. The sword in his hand is called the Ruthless Sword, and it is also the sharpest forged sword of the Shui Clan.

"Madame asked me to tell you, go back to Yancheng and do what you have to do. "The Ruthless Sword said to me.

The order that was expected, but I didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Unable to refute, I took out two small envelopes with red paper seals from my sleeves, handed them to him, and said, "What about these two tasks?"

The Ruthless Sword took the letter, opened it and read it one by one, closed it, put it in his arms, and said, "I will help you complete these two tasks." ”

This answer is also to be expected.

"Your time is running out, if you don't want Yancheng to be your burial place, go and prepare well. After the ruthless sword finished speaking, he ruthlessly passed by me and left.

The cloth sign of the King's Snack Bar was hanging high in front of my eyes, and I could only look up at it farther and farther away.

Get drunk? No, I'm not in the mood for that.

The sound of the carriage, from far and near, stopped in front of me.

raised his head and saw Leng Yijun's eternally cynical face. He looked at me with a smug expression, his eyes slanted to the carriage behind him.

My expression on the outside is indifferent, and the real mood on the inside is bitter. But after seeing Leng Yijun and the carriage he specially made for me, I was relieved: life was full of twists and turns, only in the mentality, and the efforts for the future.

"The carriage is ready, so fast?" I asked him in a relaxed tone.

Leng Yijun showed his alluring smile and replied: "Of course, the efficiency of Womengxuan can amaze the guests quickly." ”

"Well, as for speed and comfort, I'll tell you when I'm done. ”

Leng Yijun got down from the carriage, raised his hand, raised it in front of my eyes, and said, "Go up." ”

"Why don't you come with me to Yancheng?" I asked enthusiastically.

Leng Yijun's charming smile bloomed again, and he shook his head: "I don't dare to stay with you for too long, I will be tortured by your mysterious lady." ”

I frowned, "So horrible?"

"What teases you is cold violence at most. Let's go, it's not too early. This is Tinker Bell, who will temporarily be your carriage manager and escort your carriage all the way to Yancheng. "Leng Yijun introduced me to the only young and clever boy in the carriage.

Tinker Bell's eyes were bubbling with wisdom as she nodded to me in greeting.

"The carriage that escorted me all the way? "I really praise him.

Put your hand on Leng Yijun's hand and enjoy the treatment of the weak ladies. Sitting in the carriage, not to mention, the comfort is only a lot more than Yun Qinglin's carriage.

"Good carriage. I said to him.

"There is no doubt about it. Leng Yijun smiled and nodded.

"Then I'm leaving. I waved at him.

"Let's go. He waved at me as well.

He lowered the curtains in the carriage and smiled as soon as he relaxed. I lay on the soft bed, feeling that the future was still a little unfathomable.

Not sleepy, I took out the small folding fan from my cuff. My small folding fan is made of sandalwood, and if I put it in front of my nose and smell it carefully, I can smell the faint woody fragrance. The outermost two fan bones are trimmed with tortoiseshell to prevent the fan from being used as a weapon to resist the edge of the sword for a short time. Li Ye, the owner of Li's Sandalwood on Chiba Street in Liuzhou, has repeatedly wanted to admire the tortoiseshell inlay technique up close, but I politely refused.

Unfold the folding fan, the sandalwood-colored paper surface, flexible and strong. There are no calligraphy and paintings on both sides of the fan, but if you hold the folding fan to the sun, you can see that there are faint lines outlining a ruyi and inserting it in the vase, which means "peace and happiness".

Sigh.

"Second Miss, is the carriage still comfortable?" Tinker Bell asked when he heard my movements.

"Wo Mengxuan's handwriting is really extraordinary. I replied.

"The second young lady is going to sit down, we have already left the Lizhou Mansion, and when there are fewer cars on the official road, the carriage will speed up. Tinker Bell's voice is confident and energetic.

"So fast? ”

"Second Miss, the latest news brought by Lord Xuan: The story of the Dementor Order has begun to circulate in the rivers and lakes again, and the Prince's Mansion has been broken into recently, and there is no news of the loss of items. By the way, Lord Xuan has a secret letter for you. ”

I took the note handed by Tinker Bell and opened it, with many words written on it: Those who are temporarily in contact with the Prince's Mansion should be more careful, Lin Li, the sister of Lin Wei, the secret guard of the Prince's Mansion, disappeared on the way to investigate the Shui family, and the Prince's Mansion has sent additional people to track it down and avoid suspicion.

Leng Yijun deliberately annotated with a smaller character on the side of the text: I don't know whose handwriting actually wiped people clean? It shouldn't be you, right? But it doesn't matter who it is.

Carefully took out the seven-star dart that was wrapped in layers from the luggage, opened it, and thought about it while looking at it. With a wave of his left hand, there was an extra silver needle between his fingers, and he used the silver needle to pierce the center of the middle finger of his right hand, and blood gushed out quickly.

Squeeze out a drop and drop it on the Seven Star Dart, and suddenly bubbles began to bubble on the surface of the Seven Star Dart, and the traces of blood beads disappeared. As far as I know, the power of the Seven Star Darts coated in bone powder is limited, and only weapons made with special techniques and activated by blood can be turned into invisible.

So, this is the bone-eating seven-star dart.
