Lu Xiaoshu frowned, took advantage of the situation, and was about to speak when he saw a corner of the curtain of the carriage on the opposite side being pulled aside, revealing a familiar face from inside, smiling at her, "Xiaoshu!"
That man has tall black hair, a pair of slender eyes shining brightly, and a handsome smile on his face that deserves a beating. Who else is it if it's not Zhou Shizhi
Lu Xiaoshu suppressed the ecstasy that came out of his heart in vain, and purposely snorted coldly with a sullen face: "Which family's apprentice is this? How shameless to strike up a conversation! Master, let's go, the girl doesn't care about this kind of person!"
Seeing that the coachman felt sorry for his horse and cart and wanted to argue, Lu Xiaoshu quickly added: "I will pay you double the fare!"
The coachman quickly calculated and weighed it in his heart, and immediately followed suit, nodded and said "OK!" with a flick of his wrist, and a black whip flew out like a snake, and patted the horse lightly. Twice, the other hand lightly pulled and let go of the rein, the horse immediately turned its head and drove away quickly.
"..." Zhou Shizhi looked at the carriage carrying the beautiful woman away, dumbfounded, and suddenly lost his temper.
The driver was his new servant Zhou Guang, who gloated and asked, "Master, are you chasing me or not?"
Zhou Guang thought to himself: Yes! Which girl would like this way of meeting? Girls are timid, so it's no wonder if you don't get scared...
But Zhou Shizhi thought sourly in his heart: This capital city is really a place of right and wrong, just now I had dinner with the two young masters, and now they treat me like this again, hmph...
"What are you chasing after? You go back first!" Zhou Shizhi gave him an angry look, bent down and got out of the carriage, jumped down lightly, and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.
Zhou Guang shrugged his shoulders, and muttered in a low voice, "I'll go back as soon as I get back, I'm still happy to be free, I..."
The coachman guessed that Lu Xiaoshu was trying to avoid the disciple who ran wildly in the street in order to strike up a conversation, secretly caring for her, and drove the carriage fast. He is very skilled in driving, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Shizhi was more than two blocks away.
Lu Xiaoshu was worried that Zhou Shizhi would not be able to catch up, so he frowned slightly, and suddenly said, "Master, slow down!"
The coachman was so focused on driving that he didn't hear him.
Seeing that the speed of the car showed no sign of slowing down, Lu Xiaoshu raised his voice and yelled again. The driver heard it, was taken aback for a moment, said "oh", and slowed down the speed of the car very puzzled.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lu Xiaoshu to see Zhou Shizhi chasing him from behind, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Zhou Shizhi forced the carriage to stop, he couldn't help but pull Lu Xiaoshu out of the carriage and came to the corner, bitterly aggrieved: "The first thing I wanted to do when I came to the capital was to see you, I didn't expect that, you have No time to eat with others, but no time to talk to me... "
Lu Xiaoshu was startled, then laughed and scolded angrily: "The smell of boudoir resentment is so strong! Since you have time to watch me having dinner with others, why didn't you go in to see me, instead you came out for me on the street?"
Zhou Shizhi was speechless for a moment, he pinched her face lightly, and said with a smile: "The capital city is really not a good place! Your mouth is getting more and more tricky! Miss me?"
"Not at all!" Lu Xiaoshu raised his head and replied without any hesitation, looking at him with a pair of sparkling eyes.
The two couldn't help but looked at each other and laughed. The four eyes met, with infinite tenderness and sweetness.
"Xiaoshu, I—" Zhou Shizhi was about to embrace the beautiful woman in his arms, and after a farewell, he would talk about his lovesickness in detail. Unexpectedly, Lu Xiaoshu let out a low cry of "Ah!", and pulled Zhou Shizhi's body back suddenly, avoiding it to the side.
"What's wrong?" Zhou Shizhi asked hurriedly. A little annoyed that this girl is dedicated to spoiling the atmosphere.
Lu Xiaoshu whispered: "I saw my father just now, I don't know if he saw us or not!"
Zhou Shizhi was also taken aback, but no one who is the father of a girl would like to see his daughter being intimate with another man, even if they have a marriage contract.
"Don't worry, I won't see it." Zhou Shizhi comforted her.
Lu Xiaoshu poked her head out secretly to look over, but her father was no longer there, and she let out a long sigh of relief. Zhou Shizhi grabbed her hand and said with a light smile, "It's so inconvenient here, go, go to my place, I still have something to tell you. Your master and wife are here too!"
"Really! Master and Mistress have also come to the capital!" Lu Xiaoshu didn't want to go with him at first, but his eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled brightly: "I haven't seen Master and beautiful Mistress for a long time!"
The two came to Zhou's house in Huaihua Hutong. Sure enough, Mr. Bai and Biqing were there, and they were very happy to meet each other. Especially Biqing, she likes Lu Xiaoshu very much, she pulls her to ask questions with a smile and is very affectionate.
After a while, Zhou Shizhi seized the opportunity to take Lu Xiaoshu aside to speak.
Thinking of Biqing's ambiguous and smiling expression when the two left, Lu Xiaoshu felt a little sweet in his heart, but also a little awkward, standing next to the hosta flower in Zhou's garden, with a slightly shy expression.
"Xiao Shu," Zhou Shizhi called her softly, but his tone was unprecedentedly dignified and serious, completely different from the charming and charming Lu Xiaoshu imagined. All of Lu Xiaoshu's few romantic cells immediately disappeared without a trace, he turned around in surprise and raised his eyes: "Huh?"
Seeing her looking at her like this, Zhou Shizhi froze, stared at her blankly, and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"But you guys are going to take action?" A flash of inspiration flashed in Lu Xiaoshu's mind, and he blurted out and asked, his heart beating violently.
Even though she knew that this was going to happen sooner or later, and Zhou Shizhi knew a lot about it, but when the thing came to an end, she still felt an inexplicable excitement and trembling. A kind of excitement and trembling of raw and cold iron with the smell of blood and cruelty.
Zhou Shizhi nodded with a slight "yes" and said, "Do you still remember his secret base? Not only are there a large amount of food stored there, but also countless pig iron weapons. A while ago we managed to let the court know a little bit The wind, the court is now investigating closely, he may not be able to last much longer..."
Lu Xiaoshu nodded silently, no matter how good the psychological quality is, the person who does this kind of thing cannot escape a "guilty heart". Now that the imperial court has become suspicious and started to investigate the matter, in order to avoid long nights and dreams, it is inevitable that Marquis Wugong can't wait too long.
"Then, have you found out when he will make a move?" Lu Xiaoshu asked, and then said: "Do you want me to contact my little uncle again, and ask my little uncle."
"No need!" Zhou Shizhi hurriedly stopped her, and said, "Your status is different now, and besides, he used to be the fiance of your cousin. It would be suspicious to have too many contacts with him. I am going to tell you As for you, Mr. Bai has persuaded him, and he promised to contact us if there is any movement over there, so you don't need to contact him any more!"
"Really? This is great!" Hearing that his little uncle had finally figured it out, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but burst into ecstasy. Now, his worries for the future are finally resolved!
Zhou Shizhi loves to see the indescribable satisfaction of her crooked eyebrows and shining eyes when she smiles, and every time he sees her, he also feels very satisfied.
He also smiled, and said in a low voice: "According to Mr. Bai's prediction, he is most likely to attack on August 15th. This day is the festival of reunion. Not only can Jin Wu not be restrained in the capital, but also the defense will be loosened a lot..."
"August 15th?" Lu Xiaoshu was taken aback for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Today, today seems to be the fifth day of August!"
"Yes," Zhou Shizhi nodded, and said, "I'm not sure yet, but there are indications that if he is smart, he will probably choose the day when the success rate is extremely high. As long as the imperial city is under control and the empress With the crown prince, princes and grandchildren in control, coupled with his minions' actions, the chances of winning are still very high! Xiao Shu, "
Zhou Shizhi's tone became more dignified and deep: "I'll be very busy for a while, maybe I won't have time to accompany you. These days, you stay at home well and don't go out again. Especially remember that on August 15th Don't go out, remember to be careful in the mansion..."
"Don't worry, I know how to do it! Among the uncles and entourages that my father brought back, there are quite a few good ones, and there are also many family guards in the mansion. In case something really happens that night, just close the door Courtyard gate, I believe nothing will happen! You don't have to worry about me!" Lu Xiaoshu laughed quickly.
She understood what Zhou Shizhi meant, Zhou Shizhi couldn't send her someone to help guard the yard at this time. If people find out about it afterwards, it means that Zhou Shizhi had expected that the Marquis of Wu Gong would rebel but deliberately did not report it to the court. At that time, not to mention the meritorious service in saving him, it would be good not to punish him!
"Daughter-in-law, you are really my good daughter-in-law!" Zhou Shizhi couldn't help supporting her shoulders, gently stroked her cheek with one hand, and sighed with emotion, his heart was truly filled with warmth and tenderness.
He didn't even need to say a word, she already understood him perfectly.
Lu Xiaoshu smiled sweetly, pouted his lips, and said, "Don't call me 'daughter-in-law' so affectionately, when the time comes, you will have made meritorious service, become a great hero, and become a famous person beside the emperor. I forgot! When I saw you on the road, I turned my face aside and pretended not to know him!"
How could Zhou Shizhi hold back when he heard that he was being coquettish and full of anger and resentment? Holding her in his arms, he swears all over his mouth pointing to the sky, hearing Lu Xiaoshu crouching in his arms, biting his lips and holding back a smile.
Zhou Shizhi felt that her body was slightly stiff, and he lay in his arms without saying a word. He didn't know that she was holding back a smile, and thought that she didn't believe in him. It's one sentence after another as if you don't want money.
It wasn't until later that Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but let out a "chi" laugh, Zhou Shizhi looked down, and saw the true face of the little woman whose cheeks were red and the eyes were bright, and she couldn't laugh or cry, thinking about it Thinking, I also laughed, "You are really—"
Lu Xiaoshu couldn't bear to push him away, covered his face and let out a "giggle" laugh, thinking about what he just said, couldn't help but feel a little bit ashamed in his heart.
