When the boy slapped his backhand and knocked the girl who matched his brother and sister into the lake, almost everyone present was stunned for a moment.

"You're ......"

When Bai Shijun was still ignorant, he saw this hall master Zhang who had just raised his hand to kill his sister while talking and laughing, bowed to himself, and said: "Bai Junshou, although the sister is young and ignorant, and the Fei Huang Dao is also suspicious, but she is indeed reckless in killing people rashly. I will punish her by knocking her into the lake, and whether she will survive or not depends on her own creation. ”

Hearing this, Bai Shijun was speechless for a long time, and finally sighed: "Why should Hall Master Zhang be so impulsive, in fact, I haven't finished my words just now...... Alas, that's it. Since this is the case, then I also hope that Miss Qiong Wei will be safe and sound. ”

At this time, his words were also sincere. was stirred up by Xingyan's unexpected killing just now, and Bai Shijun's original anger has now calmed down slightly.

Thinking about it calmly, he suddenly felt that it was quite unwise for him to threaten this young man without leaving any room just now. After all, the princess was friendly with him, and the dead ghost Taoist priest did show some horses. It's just that although he sincerely hoped that Qiong Wei would be safe at this time, when he looked at Luqiu Lake and saw a calm and vast situation, he also knew that the little girl had a very small chance of survival.

Just as Bai Shijun wanted to open his mouth to order his subordinates to go to the lake to fish, he suddenly heard the noble princess who had been silent for a long time speak: "Hall Master Zhang, you will live with me tonight." ”

With that, the pretty princess with a frosty face turned around and left surrounded by the female guards.

Looking at the back of Xingyan and the group of people, savoring the cold words of the princess just now, Bai Shijun suddenly remembered her previous intimacy with the little girl who fell into the lake - in an instant, Bai Shijun only felt a "buzz" sound, and his mind suddenly went blank.

Not to mention the desolate end on the pillow platform, let alone the pedestrian Ju Ying. When he walked out of everyone's sight, he confessed his guilt, looked for the path alone, walked briskly with twists and turns, and after a while, he arrived at the place where a thousand bamboo poles were repaired by Luqiu Lake.

When I got here, I suddenly heard the sound of water, and then I heard a girl saying happily: "Brother, you are so fast!"

Xingyan looked at it when he heard it, and saw that the person who spoke was Qiong Wei, who had been shot down into the water by him earlier. Pulling the girl who was still playing in the shallows to the shore, he praised: "Well, yes, I have made progress in this instant!"

After saying that, he took Qiong Wei's little hand and walked away in the night.

When these two brothers and sisters with a very tacit understanding returned to the sunset cottage, they were startled by Ju Ying, who greeted them!

It turned out that at this moment, the girl who was doing the play and fell into the water was lying behind Xingyan, her head hanging softly on her brother's shoulder, swaying with his body, as if she was unconscious.

"Oh! Don't make it real!"

The little princess, who had stayed on the Thousand Bird Cliff for a while and was familiar with the temperament of the two, was taken aback when she saw this, but when she stretched out her finger to Qiong Wei's nose and felt the even breathing, she knew that the little sister had fallen asleep on Xingyan's shoulder.

So this night, the three of them settled down in the thatched cottage at Juyingxi. Because it was the height of summer, Xingyan made a bunk in Juying's bedroom to let Xue Yi sleep, and he went to the outside to lay a bunk. And Qiong Wei, who worked hard tonight, was gently placed on the inside of the luxurious embroidered couch in the inner room, and slept peacefully with her sister Juying.

He arranged it this way, Ju Ying Xueyi naturally had no objections, only the head of the guard, Zong Yueru, saw that this bold young man dared to sleep in the princess's "bedroom", so he was naturally angry. Who knows, as soon as she opened her mouth to admonish, she was waved back by Her Royal Highness the Princess, and asked her to go to rest early.

Seeing this, Zong Yueru had no choice but to retreat.

After this night's tossing, Xingyan is also sleepy now, so he straightened out the pillow mat that was kicked by the female general just now while the princess was not paying attention, and he also slept peacefully.

The night, it seemed that everything was calm. Only in the sky above Luqiu Lake and Qiming Mountain, a few night owls sounded from time to time.

The next morning, to everyone's surprise in the thatched cottage at sunset, the aggressive Bai Junshou last night actually came to Yudai Bridge early this morning to apologize for his recklessness and rudeness last night.

Seeing this self-righteous peerless man apologize to himself in a low voice, Xingyan was greatly surprised. It's just that at this moment, he was also looking for Yin Tou to continue to stay in the village, and he hit it off immediately, and the atmosphere of the two meeting was extremely harmonious.

I can't say it, that Qiong Wei was also taken out by her sister Xue Yi to meet the guests. Seeing that she was safe and sound, Bai Shijun was stunned at first, and then he was also happy, his forehead was happy, but he didn't ask her much about the reason for getting out of danger.

After a while of talking and laughing, Bai Shijun suggested to Xingyan that he had been neglectful and inattentive before, and now he would arrange a decent place for them to live. After listening to it, he humbly thanked him and said that the county guard did not have to be polite.

Seeing that he was humble, Bai Shijun said in a rare sincere tone: "Wake up brother, I really didn't know the dragon and phoenix in the human world before, and I was so guilty in my heart. ”

"After this incident last night, when Shijun went back and thought about it carefully, he felt that the flying zodiac man was indeed suspicious. It is very likely that it is the first-class Qingyun Thief Dao again. Therefore, this county also wants to rely on the mana of Zhang Tang to investigate this matter thoroughly. ”

Hearing him say this, although he didn't know whether this was true or false, he felt that he didn't need to shirk it. So, he and Qiong Wei Xueyi, the two daughters, were arranged by Bai Shijun to a unique courtyard with a quiet scenery. This courtyard, named "Qiulong Courtyard", is not too far from the secluded fence of the green bamboo, facing the vast Luqiu Lake, and the lake view is excellent.

According to Bai Shijun, this Qiulong Courtyard is the second most luxurious place after Yingxiantai in his Shuiyun Village, and it is generally used to receive distinguished guests. Today, let Xingyan say that the dragon among the people rests here, which also happens to respond to the word "dragon" in this courtyard.

Hearing this, Xingyan was naturally thankful again.

When he entered the wing room of Qiulong Courtyard, he realized that Bai Shijun's words were indeed true. Among the three connected halls of the Qiulong Temple, the decoration is extremely luxurious. In addition to the magnificent furniture, this room is decorated with gorgeous velvet silk curtains, the floor is covered with precious silk carpets, and the walls are hung with colorful velvet paintings, and these velvet patterns are decorated with gold and silver threads.

Stepping barefoot on the soft velvet blanket, Xingyan suddenly noticed a strange thing: although it was a hot July day, there was no heat in these houses decorated with soft and thick fabrics, but it made people feel cool.

Aware of this, he asked the master of the house curiously, who knew that now the owner of the village has become very humble, listening to the sober words and questions, but laughing again and again, even saying that "strange skills and ingenuity, not into the eyes of the masters", he refused to say more.

After Xingyan Xueyi and the others settled down in the room, Bai Shijun took care of a few more words, and then left.

After he left, Xue Yiqiong and the two daughters were busy arranging their luggage in the room, while Xingyan went to the courtyard to look at the lake and mountains close at hand. At this time, this Luqiu Lake, the waves are clear, the glass-like lake water reflects the clouds and shadows of the sky, and there are white gulls and herons flying in the middle, which is very quiet. Qiming Mountain, which is under the blue sky in the distance, is verdant and verdant, and the mountain shadow is half-immersed in the lake, which adds a bit of greenery to the smoke lake.

Looking at such a leisurely scene in front of him, Xingyan's heart was not calm. His eyes wandered for a while with the forgetful bird on the lake, and he hesitated a little in his heart: "Strange, what is the purpose of this Bai Shijun?"

Originally, he had made up his mind and was ready to follow the example of Poyang Lake to act chivalrous and righteous, but at this time, he was a little uncertain.

After hesitating for a while, he still decided to wait for a day or two, and then he would return to his old business, take up the invisibility spell "Water Without a Trace", which had not been used for a long time, and go to the confidential place in the village to listen to the truth and reality.

At this time, he didn't know that in the pleasant summer manor in front of him, there was a dark dungeon, in which there were now bursts of angry screams: "Bai's child, dare to imprison the old man!"

"Lack of erection and conspiracy! Lack of erection and conspiracy!"

Hearing him scolding, the Baifu dungeon guard couldn't help but come over and knock on the iron bar of the cell door, and kindly persuaded him: "Mr. Xu, why are you so troubled. Childe, he's just locking you up temporarily. After tonight, he will release you, why are you so disrespectful. ”

Hearing what the cell boss said, Xu Zifang, who was already shouting hoarsely, suddenly sat down on the ground and muttered: "How do you know that in this world, you would rather be an enemy of the country than an enemy of the Qing Dynasty." If he doesn't listen to the old man, he will be defeated. ”

"Alas, old marquis, you miscalculated this time......

Not to mention the strange episode of Manor Hide*.

There was nothing to say during the day, and at night, just when he was hesitating whether to go out tonight to find out the truth, he suddenly heard someone visiting at the gate of the courtyard. When Xue Yi went out to take a look, she recognized that the person who came to visit in the faint moon was the nurse Wang Auntie, who was the matchmaker before. Now Aunt Wang is bringing a few maids and fruit plates and food boxes to bring dinner to the guests in Qiulong Courtyard.

At this time, the weather outside the house was sweltering, but it was cool in the house, and Aunt Wang, who had a humble smile on her face, asked the maids to spread out the melons, fruits and food on the jade round table in the house, and only waited for a few distinguished guests to eat.

It's just that at this time, only Xingyan Xue Yi was in the house, but Qiong Wei ran out to play when the sun went down, and she didn't come back yet.

Seeing that Qiong Wei had not returned, she said that Xue Yi would wait for her to come back for dinner, so Aunt Wang sat in the house for a while, said a few words, and then got up to say goodbye and leave.

Almost just a moment after she left, Ju Ying, the girl who was in Yingxiantai, accompanied by Zong Yueru, came to visit in the faint moonlight. So the three of them in the former Sihai Hall waited for the little girl to return in the house of the Qiulong Courtyard with the daughter of the general in front of the palace.

Speaking of Qiong Wei, at this moment she is busy catching those shining and flying fireflies in the lush flowers and trees in Shuiyun Village. Every time I catch one, I play for a while and then let it go, and then catch another, and so on, and so on, it is just that I am reluctant to give up, and I forget the meal for a while.

At this moment, this little girl who was in high spirits was hiding in a lush grass, her eyes fixed on the dull-looking firefly, and she flew forward as soon as it fell.

When he was paying attention, Qiong Wei suddenly heard a burst of human voice behind the flower and tree fence not far ahead.

When she played so much, she was also a little bored, and when she heard someone talking, Qiong Wei forgot about the fluttering firefly for a while, and just listened with her ears up.

Skipping a few whispers in front of me, I was now hearing an old woman's voice say, "Young master, please rest assured, the old body has indeed pressed the machine just now." ”

"Oh, very good. ”

The voice of this answer sounded familiar, and when Qiong Wei was about to look over, she heard this person ask with some anxiety: "Auntie, Miss Juying, she really didn't go to Qiulong Courtyard?"

"I really didn't go, I really didn't go!"

After hearing the nurse's curse and swearing, the man was silent for a while, and then the man gritted his teeth and said, "You have done a good job, nurse! That untouchable, not only has delusions about the princess, but also comes to spoil my plan!"

"I have been stockpiling grain at a low price for three years, and this time I have taken advantage of the famine to collect private financial resources. Who knows, Fei Huang Dao Chang was once killed by him!"

"This time, I will die without a place to bury!"

Hearing this, Rao is Qiong Wei was innocent and had no scheming, and she was also a little flustered by the hateful tone of the flower hedge.

Stirred by these words, Qiong Wei suddenly remembered that it was time for her to go back, and although she did not understand the meaning, she intuitively felt that she should hurry back to her brother now.

So, the few people who were standing in the shade of the flowers suddenly heard a noise on the shrub behind the fence.

"Who?!"

The person who had just spoken was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly flew over to look, but he saw only messy grass and no human figure.

"Maybe it's just a hare. ”

Thinking so in his heart, he regained his composure.
