Jingfu is a big mansion, including dozens of courtyards, more than 100 side rooms, plus large and small pavilions and pavilions all over the house, which will really make people who are not familiar with the terrain lose their direction.
Jiang Xixi rode a horse down a path, she felt that she seemed to have been here just now, and she was not sure if it was because these attics looked so similar that she gave herself this illusion.
She dismounted, tied it to a locust tree, and walked toward a lighted house ahead, trying to find someone to show her the way outside.
As soon as I took two steps, I suddenly heard a "clatter" sound next to me, as if a flower branch had been broken by someone.
Jiang Xixi looked in the direction of the sound and found that there was a large peach forest not far away, and now the peach blossoms had fallen, and the petals were piled up on the ground, like a colorful carpet.
Through the foliage, she could see a white shadow in the middle of the forest, floating around like a bag filled with wind.
Jiang Xixi held her breath and stared at it for a while, and finally made up her mind not to pay attention to it, she had experienced too many strange things in the past few days, and she seemed to gradually accept the existence of these supernatural foreign objects in her heart.
But she turned her head and was about to leave, when suddenly there was a penetrating chill from her back, and when she turned around, she saw that the white thing had been pasted behind her, and several white arms were poked out, and they were soft and soft on the back of her heart.
Jiang Xixi pulled out his sword and stabbed at the thing.
Everywhere the sword went, there was only a cloud of white smoke, and nothing was stabbed.
The thing ran away, and it turned into a dozen shadows, dancing in the woods.
Jiang Xixi rushed over, but those white shadows would retreat a few feet back every time she approached, causing her to keep chasing forward.
The strange thing is that Jiang Xixi's heart is not afraid, but calmly a little unreal, the anxiety that was in a hurry to rush back to Xin'an Mansion just now has also disappeared, only the joy of nothingness remains, she looks at the dancing white shadows in front of her, a heart seems to float with them, she runs in the forest without purpose, and the sword slightly brings up petals.
A cool breeze blew coldly into the neckline, sliding down the backbone to the hem of the trousers, Jiang Xixi seemed to have been splashed with a bucket of ice water on his head, and woke up from the illusion of nothingness.
She found herself standing next to a high wall, and the white shadows had vanished, seemingly passing through the wall, leaving her alone in this real, cold world.
The candle flame in the wall woke up Jiang Xixi's stiff body, she raised her head, only to find that it was the pagoda inside the high wall, and she came here again, to the place where she met the woman last night.
This time she didn't hesitate, a mere wall was nothing to her.
Jiang Xixi jumped onto the edge of the wall, and then slowly slid down the wall.
It wasn't that she didn't remember Miss Jing's words, but at this moment, the temptation in this high wall had long overwhelmed the reason in her mind.
The stupa was still so beautiful, just as Jiang Xixi had seen it for the first time, it was like a firework blooming in the air, overflowing with a gentle light that shrouded her thin shoulders.
Jiang Xixi looked at it stupidly, got closer and closer, and unconsciously came to the abutment.
"Hiss......"
A wild cat-like cry came from the tower, Jiang Xixi stopped, she looked at the candlelight overflowing from the window, and the peace in her heart was like a mirror falling from the sky, falling to the ground and falling to pieces.
The voice was very soft, but it had long been remembered by her, but how could the owner of this voice be in this stupa now?
Why is Dongxiang, the crazy Dongxiang, in this tower?
There was a sudden burst of aroma behind her, the taste was greasy, sweet and a little disgusting, Jiang Xixi turned her head suddenly, but her body froze, she saw a black shadow standing behind her, and her throat made a "gurgling" sound.
"Your Excellency, your Excellency."
A series of hurried shouts went straight through the door to the study, Cheng Muyou raised his eyes, and saw a small guy running quickly from a distance, shouting at him breathlessly as he ran, "Yes......
Someone came to ......."
Cheng Muyou "Tengdi" got up from the chair and asked urgently, "Is it a pity?"
” "No......
It's not Miss Jiang......"
Before he finished speaking, a high-pitched voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Master Cheng, I'm sorry to come here rashly." ” Cheng Muyou walked to the door and saw that Hua Gu was calmly walking towards him, the bead hairpin on her head swaying gently with her steps, reflecting five-colored light on the wall and the ground.
Cheng Muyou knew that she was not good, but he still barely saved a smile on his face, "I don't know if Aunt Hua's visit today is due to official or private matters, if it is a business matter, you can explain it to me in the court, but if it is a private matter, I really can't think of anything to do with Qi Fenglou." ” Hua Gu walked up to him and smiled, "Lord Cheng, if you say that this matter is really a public matter, but if you take it to the court, I am afraid that you will lose the face of the adult, so it is more convenient to talk about it here." ” Hearing her say this, Cheng Muyou had already guessed seven or eight points in his heart, he waved his sleeves and made an inviting gesture, "Aunt Hua, please." ” Hua Gu picked up her skirt and walked into the study, her face was full of pride, she didn't wait for Cheng Muyou to pull a chair and sit down, and then took out a waist card from her arms and put it on the table, "A few days ago, I was robbed in Qifenglou, this is not a big deal, but when the people were cleaning the courtyard, they found this thing, adults to see, whether this waist card belongs to Xin'an Mansion." ” Cheng Muyou had already seen that this was a historical thing, but he still held the waist card in his hand expressionlessly, and said lightly: "My subordinate officials lost the waist card a few days ago, and they couldn't find it left and right, but they didn't expect it to be stolen by thieves." ” Hua Gu pursed her lips and snorted coldly, "My lord, I found that the waist card is only one of them, and there are even more strange things behind, there is a mother-in-law in Qifeng Building who washes clothes for the girls, named Qing Po, she disappeared the night when she was a thief in the building, but more than one person saw Qing Po go to the vicinity of Xin'an Mansion that night and was beaten to death by the adult's men, you say, who is it on, can you not link these two things?"
And, ah, there was more than one thief who came to Qifenglou that day, and I saw the back of one of them at that time, and I felt so familiar, and now I think about it, that person is a little similar to you.
If this matter reaches the imperial court, I don't know if it will have a slight impact on the career of another adult, oh no, maybe it will have a slight impact on the career of another Lord Cheng. ”
