83 Long time no see
It seems that there is a way out for me to guess, not a letter written by Shiqi, but by Xiao Qingyun. I asked suspiciously, "Zhang Banxian, Xiao Qingyun wants to see me?" Are you sure this letter was written by Xiao Qingyun?
Zhang Banxian seemed to be very bored and forwarded the letter. After thinking twice, he said, "Well, yes. Mr. Xiao said in his letter that he wanted you to come to him. He has something to tell you.
"Then you still said that you didn't know that Xiao Qingyun came back, and now he is not exposed." I rudely exposed what Zhang Banxian had cheated on me before.
Zhang Banxian smiled angrily and said awe-inspiringly, "I'm sorry, Tianxiang girl, because there was some misunderstanding before. Go and find Mr. Xiao. He may not be here later.
I don't know why my heart is full of strong anxiety, "Zhang Banxian, where does he want me to find him?" At least tell me your address."
Zhang Banxian put the letter in front of him, as if recalling the contents of the letter. After a long time, he said, "The letter clearly stated that Mr. Xiao's residence is three miles south of the suburbs of the capital."
"Okay, I'll ask Wuer to go with me." I got up to dance down. Zhang Banxian suddenly stood up and stopped him and said, "Tianxiang girl, Mr. Xiao only said in the letter that you should go alone, but did not ask the dance girl to go. It's a big deal. Less than one person knows more safety.
"Can't even dance? All right." I listened to Helianwu and Xiao Er's laughter and curses getting louder and louder upstairs, and thought: Helianwu should let her have a good time after following me every day. Why don't I go alone? Xiao Qingyun won't give me a reasonable explanation this time, and I will never let him go.
"Well, Tianxiang girl, go quickly. I'll explain it to the dancer later." Zhang Banxian pointed to the wet oil-paper umbrella next to the gate and said, "It's raining heavily outside. You can take this umbrella."
"Thank you very much, Zhang Banxian." I learned to punch Zhang Banxian between men, and then opened the oil paper umbrella. Just as I was about to step out of the threshold, a strong wind blew, and the soft rain fell on my face, with a cool and comfortable feeling.
It's raining heavily, and the bluestone street is full of mud puddles. Even if I hold an umbrella, my sleeves will inevitably be wet by the rain. The cold sleeves are attached to the arm, which is quite cold and piercing. I carefully avoided stepping into the mud puddle, but the corners of my skirt were still stained with earthy muddy water. Hey... I have to change into a new skirt when I go back.
According to Zhang Banxian's words, I walked out of the capital and looked into the south. A large bamboo forest shaken by the wind instantly came into my eyes. The green bamboo leaves swayed in the wind, and the sound of 'everyone' seemed to weave a moving song. Step into the bamboo forest, I was instantly in a green area.
The withered fallen leaves under their feet are mixed with the soil under the moisture of the rain. In this scene, I thought of a very appropriate poem to describe that falling red is not a ruthless thing, but turns into spring mud to protect flowers. Fallen leaves return to the root. This bamboo forest, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, is really a good place for self-cultivation and seclusion.
Xiao Qingyun is too good at enjoying it and chooses to live in the forest. After a while, I saw a delicate wooden house in front of me from afar. The house is almost as big as the Yunjin Building Hall, and the eaves are all built of green wood. On the inside of the fence, a lonely lamp hangs on the bamboo pole.
Open the door of the fence, and I gently stepped in. Above the door of the house, there is a wind chime made of eight single tubes. The wind blew tightly, the wind bells beat each other, and the crisp sound of 'Dingling' was particularly pleasant.
"Is there anyone? Xiao Qingyun, are you there? I poked my head and shouted in the house. After waiting for a while, there was no sound in the room. Xiao Qingyun, are you there? It's me. I'm Chu Tianxiang. I continued to shout softly.
Except for the wind bell outside and the sound of bamboo leaves, the room is still quiet. I seem to be in the world of Liaozhai. At that moment, I also imagined that this residence was made up of monsters. I couldn't help shivering. This bamboo forest really looks a little weird.
Since there was no one, I opened the door of the house by myself. The moment I opened the door, a unique fragrance of hibiscus flowers came to my nose. There is a mahogany table in the room, and tea tables are piled up randomly. There is a square ink landscape painting hanging on the wall. Although the big red characters on the seal at the end of the painting can't be seen clearly, I vaguely recognized the three big characters "Xiao Qingyun". Sure enough, this is Xiao Qingyun's residence, and Zhang Banxian did not lie to me. It's just that since Xiao Qingyun invited me here, why didn't he see anyone?
As soon as I was guessing, the room suddenly shouted: "Who dares to break into my residence!" I couldn't help but be overjoyed and secretly said that Xiao Qingyun should have come back. But the voice is not like Xiao Qingyun's. Looking back, I saw a man in a taxi suit standing outside with an umbrella and frowned at me coldly.
There is a wooden hairpin in the man's hair, with a long sword on his back. It is very similar to the appearance of immortals in modern TV series. Of course, I haven't seen this man, so I asked, "Brother, you said this is your residence, but in my impression, this should be Xiao Qingyun's residence."
The Taoist man suddenly opened his eyes wide and was shocked. He asked, "How do you know Mr. Xiao? Who are you? What's your purpose are here?" He stopped the oil-paper umbrella and entered the house. Only then did I find that he was about 20 centimeters taller than me. In front of me, he was like a giant.
He has a pair of fascinating Danfeng eyes, but unfortunately, there is a indifferent look on his handsome face. A typical poker face. It seems that he is hostile to me.
"My name is Chu Tianxiang, the third lady of the prime minister's mansion. I was introduced by Zhang Banxian. I stared at those breathtaking eyes and felt inexplicably relaxed. This person should be the same as Xiao Qingyun, and I can feel that temperament.
"What? You are Zhang Banxian who asked you to come!" Unexpectedly, when the Taoist man heard Zhang Banxian's name, he almost jumped up angrily. He pulled out his long sword in the blink of an eye and lay in front of me rudely. The sharp edge of the sword is cold and bright.
I was stunned. The man was rude and indiscriminately, so he danced his knife and made a stick. I panicked. If only Helian danced here. What do you want to do? Xiao Qingyun and I are friends. Is there any misunderstanding among them?!"
"Do you think you are Chu Tianxiang or Chu Tianxiang? Let me tell you, there is no misunderstanding. Zhang Banxian has previously ordered that anyone who breaks into Xiao Qingyun's residence will be killed!" The Taoist man's eyes didn't blink. He picked up the long sword and stabbed me rudely.
I reflexively took my right arm to resist, and a sharp sword brushed my arm, and a ferocious blood stain appeared in front of me. The blood surged like a spring, and I gritted my teeth in pain.
Ah?! This Taoist man really did it. In a panic, I saw that his sword was about to stab again. I didn't know where the strength came from, so I grabbed his arm and bit him fiercely. The Taoist man howled loudly and kicked me in the stomach. I almost burst into tears.
I fell down, and I had a strong desire to survive, scratching around. Pick up something and smash it on the Taoist priest's face. How can I, Chu Tianxiang, die here inexplicably!
I can't remember what I grabbed and hit the face of the road. It seems that there is a teapot. I really want to have a small stool. Anyway, he smashed the tea on the Taoist man's face, and his movements became dull. I took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to rush out of the house in the rain.
The rainstorm instantly drenched me, and the rain poured into my eyes, nose and mouth. I'm so uncomfortable, but I know I can't stop. I can only run. I'm so angry that I can only keep running. In my consciousness, there is only one belief: run! If you don't run, you will die!
"Don't run, stop!" The Taoist man also rushed into the rain and chased after him from behind. Looking back, he is much faster than me. He rushed behind me in a moment. His sword passed through the raindrops and stabbed like lightning.
I shouted and shook my body away. I only felt pain in my right shoulder and subconsciously hugged my shoulder. But when I saw a bright red purulent blood spewing out, I panicked and kept covering the wound with my hands to stop the bleeding. I don't know if I have been stabbed to the artery. I don't want to bleed to death!
Seeing that I was embarrassed, the Taoist man sneered and then kicked my waist. I plunged into the mud with a lot of dirt and fallen leaves on my face. I have forgotten what the pain feels like. I'm almost numb. At this time, in the eyes of the Taoist man, I was a piece of meat on the cutting board - slaughtered by others.
I want to cry without tears. Facing the approaching of the Taoist man, I was completely desperate...
On a moonlit night, I suddenly got up from **. Hu... I was sweating and trembling... After calming down, I found that I was dreaming.
However, there was a sharp pain in my shoulder, and I saw that my arms and shoulders were wrapped in bandages. The looming blood stains on the bandage are clearly visible. And my dress is nowhere to be found, leaving only obese clothes. Oh, my God, what the hell is going on?!
I'm 100% sure that I'm injured, and the Taoist priest man in the day is real. I'm not dreaming, I'm really being hunted down! And where am I now? I glanced up at the room, the mahogany desk, and the ink painting clearly came into my eyes. There is also a crisp wind bell outside the door.
I'm in Xiao Qingyun's Yaju! I have a splitting headache, and I can't remember what happened during the day. The rain has already stopped outside, the wind is still blowing, and the weather is very cold. The door creaked open, and a man walked in. I grabbed the quilt on my body in fear and tried to cover myself. Who?!"
But the moment I saw the man, I was stunned. The man's eyes are like a meteor, his lips are red and his teeth are white. The white robe enjoys the unrestrained charm while swinging. However, its mature face seems to have gone through many vicissitudes of life. Isn't this man Xiao Qingyun that I think about day and night?! Why did I see him and my nose suddenly sore? He trembled and said, "Are you... Xiao Qingyun?"
The man stared at me and said quietly, "Tianxiang, are you awake? Does your body still hurt?" If this voice hadn't been so familiar, I'm afraid I would have thought that someone else pretended to be Xiao Qingyun.
"Qing Yun, am I right? Is it really you?" I struggled to get up and see Xiao Qingyun's face clearly. But there was a severe pain in the body. The beads of sweat penetrated out of his forehead.
Xiao Qingyun quickly leaned over his warm body and gently pressed me. No, don't get up. Lie down first. Tianxiang, you are not wrong. It's me, I'm Xiao Qingyun. The most important thing now is that you recover from your injury. The gentle voice lingered in my ears, and I suddenly swept away Xiao Qingyun's grudge. Xiao Qingyun slowly pulled up the white cuffs and gradually wiped the sweat on my forehead. An extremely familiar fragrance of hibiscus flowers makes me feel very comfortable.
I quickly kept talking in my heart, Chu Tianxiang, Chu Tianxiang, don't you think you won't have feelings for any beautiful man? You have to be reserved and don't be confused by Xiao Qingyun's sugar-coated shells. Xiao Qingyun will be the cause of his injury. Although he is not the culprit who directly harmed me, he is an indirect participant.
Thinking about this, my mood has calmed down a lot. Lying on the hard stone pillow, with the bright moonlight, I looked at Xiao Qingyun's slightly vicissitudes face and asked, "Qing Yun, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Why did you keep hiding it from me when you came back? The man I saw in Yunjin Building last time was you, right?
Xiao Qingyun's eyes suddenly stagnated, and then replied to Qingming, "Tianxiang, I didn't mean to hide it from you. Well, I thought this would stop you from participating, but you are getting deeper and deeper. I really don't know how to help you?"
Am I getting deeper and deeper? I don't know what Xiao Qingyun's words mean. I'm fine. What are you going to do for me?"
Xiao Qingyun looked down, as if with a little guilt, and then stared at me again and said, "Tianxiang, Shiqi has found you."
I nodded without asking, "Well, she asked me to raise silver. Do you really want to rebel? This is a rebellious thing. You have to think about it clearly."
"If it's just a rebellion, that's fine." Xiao Qingyun smiled helplessly, "It's not as simple as you think. The facts you see in front of you are not necessarily true. Moreover, I think Shiqi thinks clearly, but it's a pity that I can't be with her.
Xiao Qingyun looks so lonely that I really want to share his worries. But according to his nature, it is impossible for him to tell me. Xiao Qingyun stood up solemnly. By the way, the Taoist priest stood outside the door in the morning and I let him in.
"Jiang Bai, you can come in!" With Xiao Qingyun's shout, a shadow suddenly emerged in the room. During the day, the Taoist priest who hurt me came in with his head down.
Standing under the collapse, the Taoist man bent down and hugged me and said, "I'm sorry, Miss Chu, I almost hurt you during the day. Fortunately, Mr. Xiao arrived in time, which did not cause a big disaster. I'm guilty and ask for your forgiveness."
How can I hate what the Taoist man said so sincerely? I know that all this is a misunderstanding. It's just what he said earlier: All the people called by Zhang Banxian are killed. I care more. I said lightly to the Taoist man, "I don't want to blame you for your unintentional mistake."
The Taoist man bent down excitedly again and said, "Thank you, Miss Chu, for your open-mindedness. Fortunately, Mr. Xiao healed Miss Chu, and Miss Chu recovered so quickly, otherwise I would really be sorry.
My face turned hot and red. Oh, my God, Xiao Qingyun healed my wounds, doesn't it mean that Xiao Qingyun helped me change my blasphemy clothes?! This is not for him to see it all. I really want to dig a hole and get in. I secretly glanced at Xiao Qingyun, but saw that he seemed to have guessed my mind and said freely, "Tianxiang, I'm the one who healed your wounds, but I ordered the maid to come and change your clothes."
I breathed a sigh of relief. Although I feel very good, I feel sad in my heart. Xiao Qingyun took my hand and said solemnly, "Tianxiang, listen to me. The capital is no longer suitable for you to stay after you recover from your illness. He fled further and further away with the dancer girl. OK?"
I want to escape, but I can't trust anyone anyway. Qingyun, I'm sorry. I don't want to leave like this. I came to this country, and I know there must be my mission. Also, why did I run away? Does anyone want to kill me? Shiqi asked me to raise money for her. She can't hurt me.
"No, I don't want you to get involved in a meaningless struggle. You must escape. I'll arrange everything for you, okay?" Xiao Qingyun looked at me with extremely firm eyes.
The Taoist man's eyes were anxious and said, "Mr. Xiao, this person is Chu Tianxiang. She is a very key pawn in Miss Shiqi's plan. You can't let her escape!"
I saw that the Taoist man seemed to have something to say, so I quickly asked. Jiang Bai, why do you say that I am a key pawn in Shiqi's plan?
Jiang Bai was about to answer when Xiao Qingyun snorted coldly, "Chu Tianxiang is my confidant. Is it wrong for me to keep her away from disputes?"
The Taoist man was unwilling to show weakness and agreed with a tough attitude: "If Mr. Xiao insists on doing this, I will definitely tell Miss Shiqi truthfully!"
Xiao Qingyun was so angry that he suddenly brushed his sleeves and shouted, "I have my own measure in this matter. It's not your turn and Shiqi to take care of me. Why don't you go on?"
"Okay, Mr. Xiao, goodbye!" Although the Taoist man retreated respectfully. But there is still an indignation in his eyes.
Looking at Xiao Qingyun and others, I know that Helianwu and I have to find out the truth of the matter. And I'm digging out Shiqi's plan bit by bit, and I don't want to give up halfway. "Qing Yun, I'm fine. You don't have to be upset. I just want to ask, why did you ask me to come?"
Xiao Qingyun frowned and wondered, "When will I let you come?" I wonder why you came here by yourself.
"What? You didn't ask me to come. Didn't you write to Zhang Banxian and let me come over?
"Do you mean Zhang Banxian?!" Xiao Qingyun was shocked and said, "Tianxiang, no, I didn't write to you, and I didn't ask Zhang Banxian to call you here."
