Xiao Wu was stunned, although she has always been uninhibited and worldly, it is the first time she has encountered such a thing as drinking a pot of wine with a man, or a completely strange man.
Seeing that she didn't catch the wine jug for a long time, the man finally turned half of his body around, he stared at her, a pair of slightly upturned phoenix eyes flashed with playful light, and his lips also overflowed with a hint of ridicule, "The girl is beautiful, is she afraid that this wine is poisonous and will stun you, and I will carry it back to be Mrs.
Zhai?"
” If it was someone else, when he said this, he had already been blinded by Xiao Wan with a stone, but when this rather flirtatious word came out of his mouth, it completely lost the oily taste, which made the listener's heart move, and two red clouds floated on his face.
So, she grabbed the wine jug and put it in her mouth, and poured half a pot of wine with "Gu Dong Gu Dong", "Who will be put down first is not certain, I have followed my father in the forest since I was a child, and I ate wine with raw meat, and my son Mo looked down on me."
He shoved the flask back into his hand and looked at him with a smug smile.
The man shook the wine jug, and the corners of his lips overflowed with a smile, but this time there was no ridicule in the smile, but a little more admiration, "Interesting, it's the first time I've seen someone like a girl, and it's not so boring to have you drink with me in the future." ” "What do you mean by that?"
Xiao Wu didn't understand, and looked at him with blinking eyes.
The man sighed lowly, "People in this world are boring and tight, and their heads are filled with either meritorious achievements or the livelihood of the family and the country, which is not interesting at all, and I have long been tired of it."
It's still a good girl, I can drink, I am good at riding and shooting, and I will be with the girl in the future. ” These words made Xiao Wan stunned again: What do you mean together?
What does it mean to be interesting?
What he meant, did he mean?
While thinking wildly, the man suddenly jumped off the horse's back dexterously, turned to the front of the horse's head, and completely presented his handsome face in front of Xiao Wu, and the moonlight was reflected in the two eyes, which was breathtaking, "Tomorrow night, I am still waiting for the girl here, and then I will bring a big bow and have a competition with the girl to see who can shoot the most prey in an hour." ” After speaking, he smiled playfully, shook the flask in his hand at her, and walked away in the direction of the moon.
Empress Dowager Xiao woke up from her dream, looked at the swaying green yarn in front of her, and sighed from the bottom of her heart: although the dream is beautiful, she will wake up after all, she is no longer the sixteen-year-old girl, and that person has long been gone.
She got up and lifted the curtain, "The Emperor has just been here. ” The little maid bent down to wait for her to put on her shoes and socks, and said, "Do you know the Queen Mother?
The slave thinks you're asleep. ” Empress Dowager Xiao looked at a silk thread on the cuffs, and with a slight hook of her fingertips, she tore it off, "He feels guilty about Tamuyan, so he always wants to comfort me, but everyone has already gone, what's the use of saying this, it's better not to say it, it's embarrassing to save each other." ” "The Queen Mother is still thinking about the county lord, but the Duke of Chu can't understand your hard work."
The little maid comforted on the side.
Empress Dowager Xiao looked out the window, and in a trance, the laughter like a silver bell still echoed under the verandah, and she closed her eyes gently, "It's not his fault." ” Jiang Xixi spent three days searching the entire Liaoyang County inside and outside several times, but after all, he still did not find the three missing people, so even if he was unwilling, on this day, they still had to return, the case files of Xin'an Mansion have piled up, relying on the charge alone, it is impossible to deal with it, if they do not go back, it may cause unease among the people.
Qu Zhengkun sent them all the way to three miles outside the city gate, only then did he have a smile on his face, and watched them leave, and the group walked out of half a mile.
Jiang Xixi snorted coldly, "Lord Liu, you haven't had a good face for him these days, and you have carefully investigated all the big and small affairs in Liaoyang County, I see that Qu Zhengkun is panicked, probably because I am afraid that you will join him in front of the emperor." ” "Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts calling the door, the accounts of the Liaoyang County Ya are in a mess, there are few suspicious cases that have been solved, the people are complaining, he probably knows that his official hat will not be able to be kept, but now he is afraid, it is too late."
Liu Xuzhu said coldly.
The group rode forward while talking, and in less than half an hour, they had already come to the mountain, Liu Xujiao looked at the two forks in front of him, and said to Cheng Muyou, "Brother Cheng, which way shall we go?"
” Cheng Muyou looked at the flat and wide canyon, and his tone was heavy, "This is the place where Shi Fei Shi disappeared today, I want to go and see it again." ” Liu Xuzhu saw that he was sad, and he felt uncomfortable, so he shouted behind him with a solemn face, "Go to the valley." ” Stepping into the Yin Soldier Trough, the sun is obscured by the towering mountains on both sides, and it seems to be a completely isolated place, shady and cold, and even time seems to be frozen.
Cheng Muyou rode a horse and walked at the front of the team, his heart was full of sorrow, his mind was full of Shi Jinshi's vivid appearance, the two of them, one was alert, the other was brave, although he had not followed him for a long time, he was a very effective helper.
What's even more rare is that the two of them are not only loyal, but also have a bit of chivalry, and they are fair and upright in dealing with problems, which is really rare in this colorful and complex world.
Thinking of this, he felt sad as if he had been pricked by a needle, Xu Ziming hurriedly drove forward when he saw it, "My lord, don't be sad anymore, it's hot now, you have to be careful of your body." ” Cheng Muyou nodded at him, buried his worries for the time being, and drove his horse forward.
The group walked through the Yin Soldier Trough and walked into the depths of the mountain, the mountain was bare, full of large and small stones, not to mention that there was no decent tree, and even the weeds growing in the cracks of the stones, they could count how many there were.
After walking for another hour with the sun on their heads, everyone was so tired and tired that even the horses became impatient, and they were reluctant to go any further.
Liu Xujiao then shouted at the back, "Let's rest for a while, eat some dry food and drink some water, and then we will continue to hurry." ” The team stopped, Xu Ziming hurriedly took out the cake from the package and handed it to Cheng Muyou, "My lord, I made a special trip to the market to buy it this morning, it tastes good, you can make do with it."
After speaking, he handed over the water bladder again, and the service was more attentive and thoughtful than Jiang Xixi.
Cheng Muyou broke half of the cake, stuffed the other half to Xu Ziming, and said earnestly, "You also have to eat more, although the wound is almost healed, but you can't be careless, when you get to Xin'an, I will help you treat it well." ”
