Chapter 17 Peach Blossoms Chase Plum Fragrance

In April, the green willows condensed the smoke and all the fragrances were exhausted, only the plum fragrance under the moon, and the solo song of peach and flower red. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Since Ye Qianxue was recognized by Mo Shaoying, she has never pretended to be a man, and with the financial support of Mo Shaoying's bag of silver, she doesn't have to worry about whether she can be hungry, so it stands to reason that this cut plum should disappear and no longer exist, who knows that along the way, when I heard about the matter of cutting a plum, not only did it not stop at all, but it intensified, and openly began to do some shady things everywhere.

It is reported that the cut plum, robbed during the day, and stole incense at night, making ten miles and eight towns, and the chickens and dogs in the north of Jingzhou jumped. Not to mention that this boudoir woman is easy to dare not go out, even if she is a six-foot strong man, she has to travel together. This back and forth, the thief cut Mei more and more daringly, and actually intensified his efforts to rely on extraordinary achievements, and actually began to rob the house and rob money, and repeatedly succeeded, and its notoriety has reached the point where adults talk about tigers and children stop crying at night.

At first, Ye Qianxue only thought that this was a boring person's arrangement, but over time, it spread in the big cities and small counties, and the people's gnashing of teeth did not seem to be fake, and the original cut plum was originally a name for his chivalrous righteousness, but he had done a few happy cases, but in the final analysis, he was still a thief who robbed the rich and helped the poor in the minds of the people, and was the embodiment of justice。

After inquiring from many sources and hearing that the thief had committed several major cases in Taoyuan County in the past few days, Ye Qianxue picked up a gun and pressed the horse, and arrived in the starry night. Therefore, when stepping into this county town famous for peach blossoms, it is already the tip of the moon and the dark fragrance floating. If in the past, it was a good time for talented and beautiful people to enjoy flowers and private parties, but in these few nights, the entire county is closed to the lights out, like a ghost town.

Ye Qianxue walked with a horse from the east of the county, and few pedestrians answered all the way, all of them saw their weapons in their hands and showed timidity, and ran away in a smoke, and Ye Qianxue, who was facing this situation, could only tighten the gun and look for clues by herself.

Although this Taoyuan County is not big, there is a five-storey restaurant standing in the city. The name of the restaurant is Wanhualou, and the building is as its name suggests, and the annual flower season is dedicated to the idlers who come from all over the world to enjoy the flowering period.

On weekdays, if you climb high and find a private seat near the window to look down, you can also chant a sentence "The peach blossoms bloom in April, and the red stacked green fence is outside" vassal elegance, but at this moment, Ye Qianxue looked at the wings of this high pavilion, and the pavilion covered by the eaves had other thoughts. I saw her stretch out her hand and knock on the door of the store, and there was an immediate sound of broken chopsticks inside, and it took a while to hear a person trembling and say: "Who, who." ”

"Passers-by, eat some food and drink and stay overnight. ”

Ye Qianxue replied unhurriedly.

There was silence again, and after a sound of Suosuo, a wooden board blocking the door in front of him was gently removed, and a person who looked like a shopkeeper poked his head out of it, looked left and right to make sure that there was no one else before he looked at Ye Qianxue, and sighed: "Girl, I won't tell you, this Taoyuan County has not been peaceful recently, are you sure you want to live alone......?"

Ye Qianxue knew that he was afraid of attracting the thief to cut the plum, so he didn't wait for him to finish nagging, so he hugged his fists and said loudly: "This little brother, I have some martial arts in my body, and I can stay here in the city, so I will pay double the price." ”

Seeing that she was polite, especially the little brother's call, he felt more and more pleasing to the eye, but after thinking about what he had seen and heard in the past few days, he had to smile bitterly and said, "Girl, this, alas!"

"Triple times,"

Ye Qianxue stretched out three jade fingers like green onions, and still said calmly.

"Girl, it's not a matter of money. ”

"Three times plus this grain of silver, the little brother will take care of my horses, and the rest of the money will be used as hard work. ”

Ye Qianxue said this, and immediately took out a piece of broken silver and threw it forward casually, Xiao Er's silver flew in front of him, and he subconsciously caught it with both hands, but unexpectedly, when he received the silver, there was a slight gap next to him, and the woman stepped forward as if no one was around.

Xiao Er, who was originally blocking the way, saw this woman break through, I don't know if it was the relationship between the silver or what, but the ghost dodged to make way, and when he came back to his senses, he looked at Ye Qianxue, who had already walked straight up the stairs, and was about to say something, but he heard her command without looking back: "If you have anything to eat, you can order it casually, plus a small pot of good wine, and the food will be delivered to the top floor, don't bother me if there is nothing else, if I am sleepy, I will come down to you to arrange a room." ”

The shopkeeper of Wanhualou has seen a lot of people in the world, but tonight, this girl's behavior surprised him. But the one who comes is a guest, and for the sake of the silver, as long as it is not the cut of plums, she is served with good food and wine. The shopkeeper thought about it while checking the silver that still had residual warmth in his hand, and went to work happily.

For a moment, there was a bright lamp in the window of this Wanhualou, which was particularly dazzling in this dim night.

The one who holds the lamp is the shopkeeper, and it is Ye Qianxue who is sitting, only to see the shopkeeper blow out the fire fold in his hand before he smiled and apologized: "Girl, you have to bear more, because the chef has rested, there is no hot food, this is a small plate of green onion eggs fried for the girl and a small half catty of beef just out of the pot today, I heard that the girl also likes to drink a pot, this plate of Wanhualou special ghee peanuts will give you free snacks." ”

Ye Qianxue nodded noncommittally, looked out the window at the vast night and said, "Thank you so much, little brother, go down and rest, you don't have to come up if you have nothing to do." ”

The shopkeeper went downstairs in response, Ye Qianxue was not picky, picked up the wooden chopsticks and ate the wine.

After a small half of the incense, half of the dishes on the plate have been eaten, Ye Qianxue looked out the window again, and saw that the moon was westward, so she picked up the wine pot and turned over the window with a spear, and just stepped on the eaves ridge with her feet and jumped again, and stood on the top of the tower of Wanhualou like a swallow out of the nest. The cold wind came slowly, looking down, and by the moonlight, the rows of green bricks and blue tiles in Taoyuan County were in full view.

This Ye Qianxue has been frail and sickly since she was a child, and she is especially afraid of cold, and she needs to drink strong aged wine to resist the cold whenever she gets sick. Fortunately, Ye Tianshuo found an unknown Taoist for his daughter.

At first, this Taoist refused to reveal the Taoist number and the teacher's inheritance, Ye Tianshuo was very troubled in his heart, it can be seen that he taught his beloved daughter the method of vomiting day and night, with the intention of consolidating the foundation and cultivating the yuan. I don't want to go down for three or five years, Ye Qianxue is actually strong and strong, and she is not afraid of cold and heat, and after she is seven or eight years old, she is already immune to all diseases, Ye Tianshuo was overjoyed and thanked the Taoist in person, but saw that this Taoist had left a letter and had already traveled elsewhere.

The few numbers on the letter are just words of advice: the heart of this sect has been a small success, and the poor road has been eating and drinking for ten years, and now it is time to leave. After that, the prince must teach him martial arts to make him move his muscles and bones every day, so that after another ten years, he may be able to suppress the innate cold qi in his body.

This person did not reveal his origin from beginning to end, but Ye Tianshuo had already obeyed him, so he passed on the ancestral Ye family's marksmanship to his daughter to practice, so that today's Ye Qianxue is strong and healthy, heroic, and his eyesight is far better than ordinary people, even in this dark night, it is not difficult to see the movement of the roof under the door with the help of that door, but the habit of drinking since childhood has been left to this day.

Ye Qianxue walked steadily along the wings of the tower to the half-foot-wide eaves, and carried the spear behind her with one hand, although the night breeze on the top of the Wanhua Building blew the purple power suit on her body over and over, but her body was as immobile as a mountain in the wind, and a pair of eyes kept scanning the roof tiles back and forth, afraid that the thief who claimed to cut a plum would slip away from under his eyelids.

Fortunately, the emperor lived up to his wishes, and he should have cut the plum lintel with this fake, and she really let her bump into it.

Under the silence, I saw a black shadow from the southeast corner to the roof, all the way through the house around the roof, facing the intermittent roof is like walking on the ground, a few rabbits and falcons suddenly go to the northwest corner, the speed is like a ghost in the night, which shows that its light work is really extraordinary.

Ye Qianxue looked at the person who came, her eyes shrank suddenly, she lifted her gun and jumped up, and then pointed her foot on the surface of the four-layer glazed tile, and immediately jumped three floors, two floors, and one floor!

The two figures, one black and one purple, were far apart at first, but as time passed, the distance between the two became closer and closer.

The black shadow noticed that someone was following behind him, and paused slightly, and inadvertently suddenly made a sharp turn, and the swallow flew back towards the west. Ye Qianxue chased very fast, but unexpectedly, this person turned around, so he had to push the spear forward, bringing up pieces of rubble and flying, and the sound of 'crackling' was mixed with the sound of dogs barking! Ye Qianxue could only apologize in her heart, and her hatred for the black shadow in front of her was even more to the point of gritting her teeth.

These two people chased after me, and before they knew it, they had already left the county seat, and the black shadow disappeared in the blink of an eye after running into the peach blossom forest outside the city.

Ye Qianxue rushed into the forest, and her eyes were full of peach blossoms, almost wanting to flower people's eyes, there was no other way, she had to stop and watch, only to raise her gun and walk slowly. After a while, just when Ye Qianxue was about to feel that the thief had already escaped with a cut plum, she suddenly felt the cold air in the treetops on the left, Ye Qianxue moved when she heard the wind, pressed the gun to lift her strength, but with a wave, she swept off a few sections of peach branches, and several peach blossoms fell to the ground, how could there be half a shadow of the man in black?

Ye Qianxue saw the other party teasing herself like this, and couldn't help but have cold eyes: "As soon as you cut Mei, if you pride yourself on being a big thief, you will come out, what kind of ability is hiding and hiding, are you still afraid of a girl's family?"

After saying this, Ye Qianxue was originally just angry, but when she thought of it, she suddenly jumped out of a black shadow from the opposite tree, only to see her in black clothes and masked, and laughed loudly: "Girl, isn't the peach branch that I gave you beautiful?"

"Humph!"

Ye Qianxue snorted coldly and didn't answer, and then grabbed the handle of the gun and dragged the tip of the gun to the ground, bringing up pieces of peach blossoms, and suddenly attacked the man in black. The man in black here didn't expect her to hit it, so he went behind the tree, and just wanted to say more, but he heard a muffled sound of 'click', and the peach tree in front of him was actually split vertically by Ye Qianxue's powerful blow, but the tip of the gun was already aimed at his eyebrows and hurriedly fell, so frightened that he rolled on the spot again, and he could dodge it.

Before the man in black got up, he saw Ye Qianxue splitting the peach tree and chasing after him, raising his gun and stabbing him, so he hurriedly called: "Slow down! Miss Ye, it's me." ”

Ye Qianxue took advantage of the situation to pursue, but unexpectedly, this thief actually shouted out his surname and called himself master, and as soon as the gun was collected on the spot, he already thought of who it was. Sure enough, when the man in black saw her withdraw, he immediately took off his mask, revealing his true face and said, "The second time, the second time." Do you know that this is the second time that I have been allowed to roll to the ground to save my life, how can there be a woman as rude and barbaric as you, shouting and shouting to kill when you meet, fortunately, the master is clever, otherwise he will give you a stake just now. ”

Seeing several people, Ye Qianxue's attitude did not become warmer, but said coldly: "Sure enough, it is you who pretend to be a cut plum?"

"Hey, did you guess it was me? ”

"Hmph, all I know is that I've borrowed someone's money, and somebody seems to be obsessed with it. ”

Mo Shaoying stood up with a smile, patted the remnants of the flowers and fallen leaves on her body, approached Ye Qianxue and said, "Don't mention the silver, mentioning the silver hurts your feelings, the young master made a special trip to find the girl, is it moved, don't you show it?"

"Good. ”

Ye Qianxue agreed happily, but when she stepped forward, she quickly raised her hand and "snapped", and the bright red five finger prints were instantly imprinted on Mo Shaoying's face. Mo Shaoying was stunned for a moment, touched half of the beaten face, and said with a slight annoyance: "I gave the silver to let the girl go to the lover, and now I come to you with my eyes, just don't be moved, and give the master a slap?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you were kind to me, Fang just killed you, I'll give you a chance now to explain if the rumors are true?" Seeing this Ye Qianxue staring at her, cold as ice, Mo Shaoying said disapprelicly: "Yes, I did something to find you......"

"You!"

Ye Qianxue didn't wait for Mo Shaoying to say more, she turned her hand and slapped it again, but fortunately, Mo Shaoying jumped back alertly, and said urgently: "Don't slap your face!

Seeing that Ye Qianxue's face flashed with blue anger, Mo Shaoying hurriedly told the whole plan 1510, it can be said that she knew everything and said everything, and she was afraid that this daughter would suddenly slap her again. It turned out that Mo Shaoying had discussed with Fang Qian, Hu Buwei and others since Jiangling was ordered, and both of them acted in a good show, pretending to be the one who cut the plum, and there was Lord Fang on the official side to ventilate up and down, so this cut plum could be so unscrupulous these days.

After listening to Mo Shaoying's narration, Ye Qianxue's attitude softened, but she still studied carefully: "How did you manage to get so many people to accompany you to act?"

Mo Shaoying clasped his hands to his chest, touched his chin with his right hand, and said with a slight smug face: "The silver is naturally really stolen, but after the matter is settled, the master will repair a book, and then Lord Fang Qianfang will come forward to find a reason to return the silver, of course, the silver will come out of your Xiangwang Mansion, as for such elegant things as stealing jade and stealing incense, it is natural to take advantage of the high wind in the dark moon and night, turn over the palm and knife in one hand! When I woke up, most of them thought I had broken her body, Miss Ye, do you think the young master is smart?"

Ye Qianxue reprimanded: "Do everything you can to play some shameless means, what if you meet a Zhenlie woman who loses weight without knowing it, will you take your life at that time?"

Mo Shaoying said disapprerovingly: "The reason why Zhenlie women are written about is because such women are rare, if they are like this, they are not worth spreading, after all, most of the things that only know by themselves are concealed and not reported, and most of the people who spread rumors outside are the subordinates sent by Hu Duwei in advance, not to mention ......"

"What's more?"

Mo Shaoying stretched out her tone and wanted to lie and joke a few words, but seeing that Ye Qianxue's pretty face gradually became cold, she asked in a cold voice, so she had no choice but to say truthfully: "What's more, every time the master waits on his roof for these women to wake up, and then leaves when he sees that there is no thought of lightening his body." ”

Ye Qianxue saw that what he said didn't seem to be a fake, turned around and picked up a gun and wanted to leave, he didn't want to have anything to do with this shameless scoundrel at all, but as soon as he turned around, he saw that Mo Shaoying was blocking in front of him, rolled his eyes and said, "Miss Ye, how can you say that the temper of your eldest lady is to leave?"

"I'm not going back. ”

Ye Qianxue said coldly and bluntly, and her body still walked around Mo Shaoying. didn't take a few steps, and when he saw that Mo Shaoying didn't stop him but followed silently behind him, he couldn't help but be annoyed: "What are you still doing with me?"

Mo Shaoying sneered and said: "The prince sent me to take you back to protect you by the way, since Miss Ye refuses to go back, then I can only sacrifice my life to accompany the girl to the Anbei Protectorate." ”

Ye Qianxue didn't answer, only raised her eyebrows, stood still with her legs, and her eyes seemed to say, "It's up to you to protect me?"

Mo Shaoying said: "But the master is good at light work, Miss Ye can't get rid of it, do you want to try again?"

Ye Qianxue still didn't answer, only shook the tip of the spear, forced Mo Shaoying away a few feet, saw that he smiled nonchalantly, and pasted it up again like a dog skin plaster, and couldn't help but stomp lightly, frowned and said, "You stay away from me!"

"Yes, Miss Ye. ”

Mo Shaoying dragged out the tone of each word for a long time, and responded lazily in a cynical tone, and did not forget to follow the footsteps. This Ye Qianxue is fast and he is fast, Ye Qianxue is slow and he is slow, in short, he is hanging far behind him, looking like he is stalking. Seeing her return to Wanhualou, knocking on the door and asking the shopkeeper to get back the horses, and when she took out the purse she gave to pay the bill, the bag full of silver that she had originally given was now half shriveled, and she couldn't help but feel a lot of pain in her heart, and her eyes lit up, and she had an idea at the moment.

After Ye Qianxue led the horse out of the city, he didn't see the figure, he only said that he finally gave up, how could he want to get on the horse and take a few steps, but he saw that Mo Shaoying rushed from the city to shoot the horse, came to his side, and could hold the horse rope and walk with him.

"What are you doing so close to me? I don't need your personal protection. ”

Immediately, Ye Qianxue said.

Mo Shaoying beside him smiled mysteriously and asked, "Miss Ye, as the daughter of the prince, you are used to spending lavishly on weekdays, right?

"The money is still sufficient, and there is no need to worry about it. ”

This Ye Qianxue said with confidence, but her expression had already betrayed her, Mo Shaoying naturally saw this in her eyes, smiled in her heart, and took out a waist card and said: "This is thousands of miles away from Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate, and the cost of the road is huge, this token can be recognized, the prince said that no matter where you go, you will get some convenience." ”

Ye Qianxue glanced at the token, but sneered: "Hmph! You are proud to be clever, my father is here to monitor your every move, can't you think of it?"

Mo Shaoying said disapprerovingly: "So you need me to accompany you, you see that I came forward to negotiate with this waist card, and you are enjoying happiness in secret, so that the prince doesn't know that I have found you, what are you afraid of?"

Seeing that Ye Qianxue didn't answer, Mo Shaoying continued: "Has Miss Ye been to the Anbei Metropolitan Protectorate?"

Ye Qianxue responded: "Of course I have been." ”

"Oh, are you familiar with the road? There are sentry checkpoints planted by the prince along the road, and there is your father's secret sentry in the city, and it is said that the twelve flying horsemen have also been sent out to look for you, and I am the new thirteen flying horsemen. ”

Ye Qianxue heard that all the twelve flying horses were dispatched, her eyes were shocked, and she hurriedly said, "Do you have a way to avoid them?"

"Nope. However, I have a 'mountain and river marching map' given by the prince, we can use this map to avoid many dark post checkpoints set up on official roads, you see I specially asked Ye Ting to mark it. This reduces the odds of this encounter by at least half. ”

Mo Shaoying said, took out another drawing in his hand and deliberately shook it in front of Ye Qianxue. Ye Qianxue took the drawings with her hand, looked at them and made sure that they were the mountains and rivers marching map, and couldn't help asking, "How did you deceive it?"

"Mountain people have their own tricks. ”

Ye Qianxue paused and didn't speak, but this time she didn't drive him away again, she only beat the horse whip crackling and hurried away, Mo Shaoying behind her couldn't help but smile when she looked at her departing figure, and immediately patted her horse to catch up.

At night, the black and white horses are dressed in stars and stepping on the moon, and the surrounding scenery is like a marquee.
