Chapter 231: The Lady in Purple
This cottage rebuilt from an abandoned temple originally belonged to a group of bandits from Jin Guangtoutuo, and the people of the "Evil Dog Gate" were also outsiders.
It's just that he wasn't a hospitable host.
I saw that his face sank, and he said: "The space here is small, and it is no longer enough for Young Master Ben and his wife and his party to live, how can they accommodate outsiders anymore?" There is a grass house outside the stone wall over there, if Master Miaozhen is not too simple, Young Master Ben can lend it to you for a night." ”
This "Juyi Hall" was originally the Daxiong Treasure Hall in the temple, there are dozens of zhang square inside, it is really not narrow, and the grass house that Hua Bushi refers to is the place where the bandits pile up firewood and grass on weekdays, not only short, but also ventilated on all sides, it can not be regarded as a house, at most it is a broken grass shed.
Even if you can't live in the main hall, there are actually a lot of side rooms behind the cottage, which are where the group of bandits live on weekdays, but Hua Bushi just asked Miao Zhenshi and his party to live in a broken grass shed, which is clearly a deliberate embarrassment.
Who knew that Master Miao Zhen heard this, but he didn't have any anger at all, recited the Buddha's name, and said: "How can the monks dislike the simple house, Young Master Hua is willing to lend us a grass house to live in temporarily, and the poor nun has thanked him in advance!"
After she finished saying hello, the woman in purple helped the injured middle-aged nun, and the three of them jumped onto the stone wall and retreated.
Seeing that the three of them disappeared, Hua Bushi stared at the snowflakes falling outside the door, but his expression was a little melancholy.
Chu Yiyi came to his side and asked, "Gongzi won't let them enter the village, but are you worried that they will have ill intentions towards us?"
Hua Bushi shook his head and said, "Although the words of Master Miaozhen are a bit bizarre, I believe that tonight's incident is really a misunderstanding, and the martial arts of the three of them are all the way of the Shi family, and their skills are not weak. ”
Chu Yiyi said: "In this case, Jingci Lin'an can also be regarded as a white and decent person in the Guangdong realm, and it doesn't hurt to make friends with them, so why should we refuse people thousands of miles away?"
Hua Bushi smiled bitterly: "In normal times, it's okay to make friends, but for now, it's better to stay away from them." If my guess is correct, they must be in trouble because they are in trouble, and perhaps they have got into a very strong opponent, but I hope they don't involve us, even if it's a blessing!"
He immediately turned his face and instructed Zhu Hong: "There may be an enemy attack tonight, you must be careful to keep vigil and never let the enemy sneak in." ”
※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※ Young Master Hua's guess was really accurate.
After cleaning up the mess caused by the fight in the lobby, Hua Bushi asked Bai Yiling to take Hai Hongzhu to the back wing room to rest, and he sat down on the chair in front of the fire. Before the time of the pillar of incense, the enemy had already attacked, and he could enter the temple, even if he was as brave as Zhu Hong, he could not defend it.
Because there was only one enemy, the woman in purple clothes, and she did not "sneak in", but walked in through the mountain gate openly.
"Yi Ruoying, a lay disciple of Jingci Lin'an, came to visit the head of Hua Shao!" Her voice was as crisp as a pearl and as beautiful as a yellow warbler, which was really good.
And when she walked into the main hall, Hua Bushi found that her person was three points more beautiful than her voice.
Previously, the woman in purple flew down from the roof, both sides were fighting for their lives, and when the figure was flying, it was difficult to see her appearance clearly, and then she quickly withdrew from the temple gate, and Hua Bushi couldn't see it clearly. It was only at this time that Yi Ruoying walked in front of her in a pretty way, and the young master had the opportunity to appreciate this purple-clothed beauty carefully.
There are many kinds of beauties, too. There are those who are as bright as Dudan flowers and are loved by everyone, and there are also those that are lonely and unique like orchids, and there are those that are as enchanting and moving as peonies, full of temptation.
But Yi Ruoying is not any kind. If you compare her to a flower, it should be a cold plum in the snow, which is both delicate and beautiful, without a sense of enchantment, but it makes people feel handsome and moving.
She is only about 20 years old, with a small face of melon seeds, a face like beautiful jade, picturesque eyebrows, and a slender figure.
And a lilac power dress and a glittering sword ring blade on her back shoulder not only did not make her beautiful a little, but made her more sassy and heroic.
Looking at her step by step, Hua Bushi seemed to be stunned, and it wasn't until Chu Yiyi, who was standing next to her, coughed several times that the eldest young master came back to his senses.
"Miss Ruoying, please take a seat. Hua Bushi said.
Yi Ruoying was not polite, and sat down opposite Hua Bushi generously.
There are several tea bowls on the wooden table, and there are several jars of shochu on the table. She reached out and picked up two sea bowls, then took the wine jar and filled it, presented one of the bowls to Hua Bushi with both hands, and said:
"I have heard that Young Master Hua has a lot, if Ying first salutes a bowl, please Young Master Hua appreciate his face!"
As soon as Hua Bushi took the wine bowl, Yi Ruoying had already picked up another bowl of wine, raised her head and drank it all.
Hua Bushi's eyes were about to straighten, he had never seen a woman drink like her, even if it was a man, there were not many people who drank like this. He hesitated for a moment, but put the bowl to his lips and drank it dry.
Yi Ruoying was about to pour wine again, but Hua Bushi hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Wait, Hua Bushi doesn't have a good amount of wine, a bowl is barely enough, and he will definitely get drunk if he drinks it again." ”
Yi Ruoyan smiled and said, "Many men like to be heroes in front of women, even if they are too drunk to get up, they refuse to admit that their alcohol consumption is not good, but Young Master Hua dares to admit it bluntly, which makes Ruoying admire." ”
Hua Bushi also smiled and said, "Miss Ruoying has won the award." I don't think the girl came for this bowl of wine, if anything, but please make it clear. ”
Yi Ruoying said: "What Young Master Hua said is not right, Ruoying came here to salute this bowl of wine, and she wants to use this wine to make amends to Young Master Hua." ”
Hua Bushi Qi said: "Apologies?
Yi Ruoying said: "In the past three days, we have been following Young Master Hua's carriage and horses, mistaking you for the underworld strongman, so today's incident happened, and the fault is all in Ruoying, so we have to make amends to Young Master Hua." ”
Hua Bushi said: "Speaking of this, I am really puzzled. What kind of people in our group seem to be underworld strongmen, why do you have this misunderstanding?"
Yi Ruoying said: "It's not a secret, Ruoying has a lot of experience in exploration and tracking, and she can detect the movement of cars and horses within ten miles, and it is precisely because she can find out the route taken by Young Master Hua and his party that Ruoying has this misunderstanding." ”
Hua Bushi said: "Oh?"
Yi Ruoying said: "What Young Master Hua and his entourage took was the route through the Nanling Mountains to Nanao Town, but it was also the road we were going to take, so Ruoying thought that you were the eyeliner laid by the underworld, and kept monitoring us, until we learned that Young Master Hua also went to Nanao Town to participate in the 'Wanyi Conference', we knew that we had made a misjudgment." ”
Hua Bushi said: "In this way, it is because our two people are going to the same place, and we happen to be on the same road again, but both of us are good at detecting movements from a distance, and we have never looked at each other closely, so there is a misunderstanding?"
Yi Ruoying said: "Exactly. If we Jingci Lin Nunnery preemptively occupy this temple, Young Master Hua will probably come to attack at night, isn't it?"
Hua Bushi said: "Yes, I probably will." ”
Yi Ruoying said: "In this case, can Young Master Hua be magnanimous and no longer care about Ruoying and Senior Sister accidentally hurting your disciples?"
Her words are well-founded and extremely persuasive.
Hua Bushi shook his head and said, "No." A group of ten of us walked ahead, and you were following us, if you were to follow us, you were also following us, so why would Miss Ruoying suspect that we were spying on your nunnery?"
Yi Ruoying said: "Just because those underworld shili already know the destination where our group is going, they can send people to monitor the front to find out our movements." ”
Hua Bushi thought for a moment and said, "I see. Since this matter has been explained clearly, Young Master Ben promised not to blame Gui'an, this bowl of wine has been drunk, so please go back. ”
He waved his hand and gave the order to evict the guest.
Yi Ruoying still sat motionless on the chair, staring at the eyes of the eldest young master with a pair of beautiful eyes, and after a while, she said: "Don't you want to know which underworld people are going to make things difficult for us, and what is the purpose of our trip?"
Hua Bushi snorted "haha" and said, "I don't want to at all." The more things I know, the more troubles I have, and there are some things that I am curious about, but I am afraid of trouble. ”
Yi Ruoying said: "It turns out that none of the rumors about the 'evil dog boy' on the rivers and lakes are true. ”
Hua Bushi said: "Really?"
Yi Ruoying suddenly chuckled softly and said, "The 'Evil Dog Boy' in Xiangjing Wuyang City is famous, and there are a lot of rumors about you on the rivers and lakes, Young Master Hua wants to hear it?"
Hua Bushi said: "Please teach Miss Ruoying." ”
Yi Ruoying said: "Don't dare to give teaching, these rumors are really not very good, Ruoying said it, Young Master Hua should not be angry." ”
Hua Bushi said: "Girl, please say, I'm not angry." ”
Yi Ruoying paused slightly, and said: "There are roughly three legends about Young Master Hua on the rivers and lakes, one is that Young Master Hua is bold, domineering and arrogant, in order to expand Shili, seize territory, collude with the government, kill fellow people in the rivers and lakes, and leave no room for exterminating the sect, which is more vicious than the people in the underworld. ”
Hua Bushi let out an "oh" and said, "What about the second one?"
