The alley at midnight was silent.
But suddenly there was a low shout with a smile and a slight anger.
"rogue!"
The moonlight cast into the corner of the wall, vaguely seeing the delicate girl lift her foot, kicked the man opposite, and then ran away briskly, flying away under the moon like a butterfly.
In the alley behind her, Yuan Zhaoxu's smile faded away, but a black figure suddenly appeared behind him, the man in black bowed slightly, and whispered, "Master... your injury..."
Yuan Zhaoxu raised his hand, but in an instant his fingers were all stained with a layer of blue-gray, he looked calm, and said lightly, "It's okay."
Looking up at the direction in which Meng Fuyao disappeared, Yuan Zhaoxu looked anxious, "Guo Pingrong is getting more and more useless, and he uses a hidden weapon like 'Brightness of Heaven and Earth', which can almost be regarded as a divine weapon, to deal with a woman without asking why. Quenching the poison, is this also the work of a senior disciple of the ten emperors?"
His back is as erect as a bamboo, but his sleeves are moving without wind, the man in black subconsciously took a step back, and bent his waist even deeper—it is very rare for the master to be angry, and he once thought that nothing in this world could make the master angry, but now Judging from the cold and solemn aura emanating from him, Guo Pingrong's actions actually touched the master's scales.
After thinking about it, he smiled wryly, "After all, Guo Pingrong was born in a bad family. He is a gangster in the streets, so he is doomed to act evil. However, this person is a good fighter, just like His Royal Highness, and he is still loyal and brave to the court."
Yuan Zhaoxu smiled, did not answer, and said for a while, "Send someone to watch out and protect her as much as possible."
"yes."
"But as long as she can handle it, let her solve it herself."
"yes."
"I'm going to retreat for a few days. Fang Yimo's 'Glory of Heaven and Earth' is very important, and I can't take it lightly. You can handle the outside affairs by yourself."
"yes."
Gently turning around, Yuan Zhaoxu looked at the direction Meng Fuyao was going away for a long time, and left with a smile for a while.
The man in black was left standing there, looking ahead with complicated eyes, and suddenly remembered a sentence that the master said a long time ago.
"I hope to see excellent women grow up freely in the struggle of the sea and the sky, and can fly at the same height as men, instead of golden birds protected by layers of strong wings, who will never know the pleasure of walking through the wind and rain, forever I don’t know how to pursue my own beliefs.”
※※※
Meng Fuyao obviously felt that something was wrong with the atmosphere in Prince De's Mansion these days.
In fact, Guo Pingrong has frequently appeared in De Wang's mansion since that night. I don't know what he said to De Wang. To and fro, Zong Yue asked Meng Fuyao not to go out, of course Meng Fuyao knew the pros and cons, it was rare for him to listen to him once, not only did he not go out, but he deliberately disguised his body, now he is a thin boy with a flat chest and yellow face, It was not inconspicuous at all, and when Guo Pingrong met her several times, he walked over without squinting.
This day, Meng Fuyao went to Zongyue's medicine garden to get medicine, and he walked all the way thinking about it, seeing Guo Pingrong's unwillingness to rest, he seemed to believe that the person who took off his trousers that night was in this palace. It's better to run away earlier, hey, I should have left a long time ago, isn't it just greedy for the free and exquisite food and accommodation in Dewang Mansion.
In fact, there is another reason that Meng Fuyao will not admit—Yuan Zhaoxu hasn't shown up for a few days, and she is a little afraid that this guy won't be able to find her after she runs away. This kind of accident will not happen next time, but, but what if
Meng Fuyao grabbed the medicine shovel out of his mind, and didn't go down with the shovel, when he suddenly heard a clear and crisp cracking sound.
At the same time, accompanied by the woman's panicked low cry, it sounded from the flower pavilion in the small garden outside the medicine garden.
Meng Fuyao poked his head to look, and through the shade of the flowers, he saw Qiaoling, the maid in the outer courtyard, squatting on the ground, frantically cleaning up the broken porcelain pieces on the ground, and above, Guo Pingrong sat on the seat with a gloomy expression, and King De, opposite him, scolded him with a sullen face. , "Clumsy, stupid girl, get off!"
Qiaoling was so frightened that he trembled all over, and quickly backed away, Meng Fuyao sighed silently—Guo Pingrong has been in an irritable mood recently, whoever meets who is unlucky, speaking of which, he is the one who got Qiaoling involved.
Qiaoling turned her back and wiped her tears quietly, the teary little face disappeared in a flash in Meng Fuyao's sight, Meng Fuyao looked at her, and suddenly froze.
This girl has always been good-looking, with a pair of bright autumn eyes on her palm-sized face, but she didn't pay much attention to them on weekdays. Now these eyes have been washed by tears, and they are full of water. Somehow they look familiar.
Meng Fuyao hadn't figured out where she was familiar with, when she heard Guo Pingrong say "Huh?", suddenly took a step forward, stretched out her hand to catch Qiaoling's chin, and turned her face to face him abruptly.
He squinted his long and narrow eyes, and looked at Qiao Ling up and down like picking flesh and bones. When did the sixteen-year-old Qiao Ling be looked at so presumptuously by a young man? What's more, Guo Pingrong has a tall body, a complexion like iron, and a pair of long and narrow eyes that always look at people with a three-pointed evil spirit. He is more or less an attractive man. A bit of the charm of the delicate lotus in the wind.
Looking at Guo Pingrong's eyes, Meng Fuyao thought of Yuan Zhaoxu's comment that "a widow has a disease", and cried out inwardly. She suddenly remembered who Qiaoling's eyes looked like just now—like herself! Although the child's eyes were not as bright as hers, when she shed a little tears, she had some charm of her own. It must be these eyes that attracted Guo Pingrong's attention.
Guo Pingrong was indeed staring at Qiaoling's eyes—that night, he was condescending, the wind of the hidden weapon lifted the girl's veil, and she couldn't see her face clearly in the dark, but her eyes were as bright as autumn waters, shining brightly, with a kind of shocking feeling. The show and beauty of evil spirit.
At that moment, he almost forgot his anger, leaving only a glimpse of shock in his mind. At that moment, he who was traveling across Zhongzhou gave up his previous plan of cutting Meng Fuyao upside down, and began to seriously consider capturing this bold and cunning beautiful woman. If her sly eyes only smiled at him... , if she moaned under him with a clear and crisp voice, if her slender and powerful legs strangled his body... what kind of ecstasy would it be
For a man to walk proudly in the world, what he wants is to wake up and control the world, get drunk and lie on the lap of a beautiful woman
As for the man who caught his hidden weapon and forced him to fall off the wall—Guo Pingrong sneered, "Brightness of Heaven and Earth" is so easy to catch? The southern border poison on it will attack the heart when it touches the skin. This person must be a dead body by now, right? Even if he is lucky enough not to die, he will only end up in an even more unfortunate end—as long as he is found out who he is, he will be shredded under the knife, and let him know that the disciple of the top ten is not worthy of any cat or dog. Provoked!
His mind turned back and forth, his complexion became cloudy and uncertain, the fingers holding Qiaoling's chin subconsciously exerted strength, causing Qiaoling to yell out "Ah" in pain, and Guo Pingrong let go of his hand when he heard the cry, and once again lusted She looked Qiaoling up and down for a while, then turned her head to King De and said, "I never thought that in the prince's mansion, even a poor servant girl can have such a good looks."
King De, who was sitting in the main seat, was tall and majestic, and he was as tall as a man sitting there. His appearance was good, but there was a long and narrow scar slanting across his forehead, which was completely disfigured. It is said that he was the king of Linjiang back then. In the rebellion, the eldest grandson prince planned to kill the famous assassin Shuying. Shuying's wife and partner Luanmei assassinated the prince to avenge her husband. The prince, who is known for his loyalty and bravery in the Wuji government and the public, smiled and looked at his beloved general who was born under his command at the moment, and said indifferently, "It's rare for you to fall in love with someone with high eyes. Since you like it, just take it with you."
"Really?" Guo Pingrong's eyes lit up.
King De laughed loudly and said, "It's just a maidservant, how can I be reluctant to give it to you?"
"My lord sees her as a maidservant, but I see her as a treasure." Guo Pingrong turned around to look at Qiaoling, and smiled meaningfully, "It's also fate to meet someone I like, and I don't want to wrong her, so I'll take her back , open your face and be a concubine."
"Since you love this girl so much, it's her good fortune. Since that's the case, my family can't just neglect General Jianwu's first concubine." King De laughed, "Come here, take Miss Qiaoling down. Tell the concubine to prepare a wedding ceremony for Miss Qiaoling, and send it to the general's mansion tomorrow!"
Guo Pingrong thanked him with a smile, and ordered someone to send the surprised and delighted Qiaoling down to prepare. Meng Fuyao watched the child enter the backyard with a dazed face, and punched the child in the palm of his hand.
"Oops!"
