Torches floated overhead one after another, reflecting the black night sky, Jiang Xixi pressed his body tightly against the clammy and cold cave wall, biting his white stiff lips, not daring to leak a trace of sound.
The pain in his body was fading little by little like the tide of the sea, and it also took away the only remaining wisp of broken consciousness.
The torch above seemed to turn into a fiery cloud, burning brighter and brighter amid the noise of people.
A cold little hand reached Jiang Xixi's forehead, startling her and opening her eyes suddenly.
"Xun'er."
When he saw the small figure standing beside the bed clearly, Jiang Xixi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and smiled weakly at him.
"Sister Xixi, you finally woke up, Xun'er has been guarding you here for a few days, I'm afraid you won't wake up again," Xun'er leaned over her whole face, and the warm breath sprayed into Jiang Xixi's neck socket, "You have been very hot all the time, Daddy said that you have a fever, you should have a good rest."
But I tried it just now, and the heat seems to have faded, does this mean that you are already well?
” Jiang Xixi touched the back of his round head, "Sister is fine, the wound doesn't hurt anymore, and you can play with Xun'er in a few days." ” Xun'er kissed her gently twice on the face, still putting her head on her chest, "Sorry sister, are you having a nightmare?"
I see that your brows are so tight, and your body is also tense, as if you are very scared. ” "My sister dreamed that when I was a child, I hid in a trap to catch animals, hiding from the pursuit of the Liao army, that night, the mountains were full of Liao troops, they held torches, reflecting the whole sky."
"But," Xun'er raised her head, her big eyes flickering, "why did they chase and kill a little girl?"
” Jiang Xixi was stunned by his question, "All the people in the village have been killed by them, and I am the only one left, perhaps, they want to cut the grass and eradicate the roots." ” The door was pushed open with a "squeak", Cheng Muyou's figure appeared in the door, and when he saw Jiang Xixi waking up, he quickly covered up the sadness on his face, and walked towards her with a brisk expression.
Jiang Xixi keenly noticed that something was wrong with him, she sat up from the bed, and asked anxiously, "My lord, is something wrong?"
Why do you look preoccupied?
” Cheng Muyou helped her fold the quilt and smiled lightly, "Xin'an Mansion has never broken every day, and it is normal for me to worry, since I am the county commander, where can I expect to sit back and relax." ” Xun'er's eyes rolled slightly, "Sorry for my sister, I know why my father is worried, since he received his grandfather's letter, he has become like this, and he is absent-minded even playing with Xun'er." ” Cheng Muyou patted Xun'er's head, "Have you done your homework?"
I haven't been to the academy for a few days, be careful that Mr.
Hu will train you tomorrow. ” Xun'er stuck out her tongue, "Mr.
Hu is not as strict as his father, he never beats our board."
But although he said this, the person moved to the door little by little, "Sorry sister, I went to study, and I will come to see you tomorrow after school." ” "Xun'er," Jiang Xixi stopped him, "I'll send you to the academy tomorrow." ” "Don't force yourself, your injuries are just right."
Cheng Muyou said uneasily.
"My lord, it's just a little knife wound, I can't handle the case now, can't I connect to send Xun'er?"
"Pity my sister, a word is a certainty, I will come to you early tomorrow morning."
After Xun'er said this, she happily walked towards the door, and after a while, people couldn't see it.
"My lord," Jiang Xixi didn't plan to let Cheng Mu Yu go, she looked him straight in the eyes, "What did the old man say in the letter?"
” "I really can't hide anything from you," Cheng Muyou sighed lightly, and then stood up from the edge of the bed, "Father asked me to release Qifenglou as soon as possible and agree to grant land." ” Jiang Xixi had an expression of disbelief, "Master......
Really?
However, didn't he hate the opening of the Qinglou the most?
I remember that he once said that it was these songs and dances that led to the confusion of the minds of the officers and soldiers and the people, and caused the current situation of declining day by day. ” Cheng Muyou smiled bitterly, "I don't understand, maybe everyone has their own last resort, and they all have to do things against their will." ” "So your lord agreed to grant the land?"
Cheng Muyou didn't answer, Jiang Xixi looked at his back, and for the first time felt that this man who had always been omnipotent in his heart was so helpless and lonely.
Unconsciously, she felt a wetness creeping up the corners of her eyes, so she quickly wiped her eyes and put a smile on her face, "Let's not talk about this, my lord, where did the person who saved me go, it's a pity that I haven't thanked the benefactor yet." ” Cheng Muyou turned his head, "I forgot, it's a pity, guess who he is?"
” "I look like a gentleman."
Cheng Muyou smiled, "He's not a gentleman, he's a celebrity in front of the saint, a guard with a knife in front of the emperor, Liu Xujiao." ” "Liu Xujiao?
What is he doing in Yuquan Town?
” "The emperor already attaches great importance to the theft of grain, and more than 20 corpses were salvaged in Quanhu, which has a great impact, so he sent someone to personally supervise the case."
"And where did the others go now?"
Jiang Xixi asked.
"He went to Yuquan Town, saying that he wanted to investigate the ins and outs of the matter one by one before he could go back to the Ming Shengshang."
"The case of Xin'an Mansion has been closed, can't he trust the adult?"
Jiang Xixi's face was suspicious.
"Liu Xuzhu is an official directly under the emperor, and there is nothing wrong with doing this, if he can investigate what Jing Yunlai has done, it can be regarded as clearing the grievances of the women in those pagodas."
Cheng Muyou glanced at Jiang Xixi, his eyes fluttered around her and then fell back to his eyes, "Do you feel any discomfort?"
” Jiang Xixi smiled, "I felt weak just now, but now I heard that the evil deeds of that old beast will be turned upside down, and I suddenly have strength all over my body," she drank all the water in the teacup, raised another cup of tea, walked to the door and spilled it on the open space, "Dongxiang, your revenge has finally been avenged, you can rest in peace." ” As soon as the words fell, a gust of wind suddenly swept over, blowing blindfolded both of them at the same time.
When they opened their eyes again, they found that the water stains on the ground had disappeared, as if no one had ever spilled the water.
"Dongxiang, Dongxiang, she heard it."
Jiang Xixi was surprised and delighted, and tears couldn't help but slide down his face.

Cheng Muyou's eyes drifted to the courtyard wall, and on the opposite side of the wall was the Jihong Embroidery Village, where there was no black hole now, and there was no human voice, but he felt faintly uneasy in his heart, as if the wind just now was blowing from there.
