Cheng Muyou is so smart, looking at Bai Qingzhi's mysterious and unpredictable expression, he has already guessed that He Xu's death is not simple, and he can't even manage Kaifeng Mansion, it can be seen that it is related to someone in the upper echelons.
That's all it takes, why is Yan Niang interested in He Xu's death, she came over happily and left in disappointment, is it also because his body is missing?
Thinking of this, he stopped, or rather, he didn't dare to think further, he felt scared for the first time in his heart, afraid that after the truth surfaced, he didn't dare and didn't want to face it.
Cheng Muyou raised his arm, the medicine she gave him had already run out, but the faint bitter taste had been lingering in his mind, and it had not dissipated, he sighed softly, grabbed the reins again, and walked out of the gate of Xin'an Mansion.
There was a man standing under the willow tree outside the door, with his eyebrows swept lightly and his eyes like water, looking at him.
Cheng Muyou was stunned, his footsteps slowed down instantly, but the horse behind him was impatiently exhaling, urging him to move forward.
Jiang Xixi also saw Yan Niang, and the surprise on her face couldn't be hidden, she threw the reins, ran towards her in a hurry, and took her hand, "Miss Yan, this early in the morning, why are you standing outside our Xin'an Mansion, do you know that we are going to go out today, so we are deliberately waiting here?"
Or do you have any sachet tips for me?
After speaking, she looked up and down, but found that Yan Niang did not carry the sachet with her, so she smiled and leaned over her face, "Or is the girl going to go with us and go out with us?"
” Yan Niang put a little on her forehead, "I'm just bored in the morning and go out for a walk, Miss Jiang's left sentence after sentence, it's noisier than the birds in the morning, it's just that, I wanted to find a clean, now, I'd better go back." ” She said this, but there was a smile in her voice, this calm and calm look was similar to her rejection of people thousands of miles away some time ago.
Cheng Muyou heard that she was joking, and his heart suddenly felt a lot more comfortable, but he was worried about Shi Fei Shi Jin's safety, so he stepped forward and urged Jiang Xixi to hurry up.
Jiang Xixi then stepped on the horse, and said reluctantly, "Miss Yan, I will go to Jihong Embroidery Village to find you when I come back from Liaoyang in a few days." ” Yan Niang's body stiffened, and her smile froze on her face, "You want to go to Liaoyang?"
” Jiang Xixi nodded, and a layer of sadness hung between his eyebrows, "Shi Fei and Shi Jin went to Liaoyang ten days ago, but today, Shi Fei's horse ran back by himself, and the adults were afraid that something would happen to the two of them, so they wanted to go there in person." ” Cheng Muyou heard the abnormality in Yan Niang's tone, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Miss Yan, is there something wrong with this place in Liaoyang?"
” Yan Niang glanced at him, the expression on her face had changed, and that familiar smile once again appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Liaoyang is the place where the Song-Liao War began, adults are knowledgeable, they don't know, right?"
” Cheng Muyou eased slightly, "That battle was the first large-scale battle between Song and Liao, and the soldiers on both sides suffered countless casualties, but after all, it was thirty years ago, so it should not be disturbed today." ” Yan Niang pursed her lips and smiled, "Whether there is disturbance or not, adults are going to go, so let's leave early, don't miss the business." ” Cheng Muyou knew that she had something to say, but the situation was urgent, and he didn't dare to delay at all, so he hurriedly jumped on his horse and ran out of the city with Jiang Xixi with two officials.
A group of people ran on the road day and night for four days, and finally arrived at Hedong Road, this evening, they came to the edge of the Yellow River, raised their eyes and looked into the distance, the afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the water, like ten thousand points of broken gold, shining.
Jiang Xixi handed the water bladder to Cheng Muyou, watched him finish drinking the water, and then asked softly, "My lord, are we going to rest on the river beach for the night, or are we going to hurry?"
” Cheng Muyou saw that the two officials were exhausted, yawning again and again, and even Jiang Xixi, who had always had unlimited energy, had blue circles in his eyes and a vegetable face, so he jumped off the horse, "Rest for a night and then continue to hurry, they all say that this Yellow River carp is very fat, let's go down to the river to catch a few fish, how about adding dishes tonight?"
” Jiang Xixi covered her mouth and smiled, "Adults have been pampered since childhood, will they still go down to the river to catch fish?"
” Cheng Muyou raised his eyebrows, ignored her, took off his shoes and socks, rolled up his sleeves, and walked towards the golden river.
I saw him piercing the river with his long sword, splashing and wetting his clothes.
Jiang Xixi followed behind and shouted, "I'll come, it's cold here, it's not as cold as Xin'an, you make your clothes soaked, but you'll catch a cold." ” Before the words fell, Cheng Muyou had already turned around, and on the tip of the sword, there was a big carp that was still churning desperately, and he smiled proudly, "Look down on me?"
Now believe it. ” Jiang Xixi ran towards him, took the fish off the sword and held it in his arms, "My lord is so powerful, I caught such a big fish and came up, it seems that everyone will be blessed tonight."
After speaking, she handed over the big carp, which weighed four or five catties, to the two officials who were standing behind her, "Go and pick up the fish, make a fire and roast it, this game is now difficult to eat in Xin'an City." ” The two officials happily walked away with the fish, and Jiang Xixi took out a handkerchief from the placket of his clothes and wiped the water droplets on Cheng Muyou's face, and then asked with a smile, "Where did the adults learn this ability to catch fish?"
I've been following you for so many years, and I didn't even know it. ” Cheng Muyou looked at the sparkling river, "Do you remember what you relied on to recuperate your body every day after being rescued by me at that time?"
” "Fish soup, a bowl of fish soup boiled in vain, when my father was killed by the Liao army, I have nothing to love, I feel that from now on, everything in this world has nothing to do with me, but adults will send me a bowl of fish soup every day in the evening, and feed me to drink it mouthful, over time, this thing seems to have become a habit, every time the sun sets, I look forward to this bowl of soup, it seems to have become the only thing that can be expected in my fragmented life."
Jiang Xi raised his head regretfully, "Could it be that those fish were caught by the adults themselves in the river?"
” "You were badly injured at that time, how can you just rely on those dry rations from the army to keep you in good health."
Cheng Muyou said lightly.
"My lord, you" Jiang Xixi felt his throat tighten, and his voice choked.
A silver light flashed in the river in front of him, Cheng Muyou lifted his sword, tiptoed over, and was about to pierce down, but his hand was fixed in mid-air and did not move, he looked ahead, "It's a pity, is there a person there?"
”
