Song Zining spread out another piece of drawing paper and concentrated on the brush. Ye Mulan stopped knowingly and watched him scrap a new drawing.
Song Zining put down his pen and walked to the table. Ye Mulan quickly poured him a new cup of tea. Song Zining took the teacup and said gently, "That's Qiqi's."
Ye Mulan clenched her hands tightly, and said calmly: "Speaking of Qiqi, she really disrespects you, she doesn't even have the least courtesy! I heard that her mother's room Already leaning towards the Second Young Master..."
"Yes." Song Zining said that he heard it. As usual, he never made a clear statement on this topic.
"Zining, the big cousin of the Gu family, Gu Liyu, has been in a little trouble recently. Look, can you help him? I think winning him over will be very helpful for us in the future."
"Yeah." Song Zining nodded without even asking.
Ye Mulan didn't expect that the biggest purpose of coming here tonight could be achieved so easily, so she was stunned for a while, but Song Zining gave her a lot of authority in the past year, but rarely asked her, obviously because of her trust in her. She also felt that the several affairs handed over by the Song Clan were handled beautifully, and she deserved such trust.
But before Ye Mulan could be happy, she found that Song Zining's gaze was on the person in the painting again. Her face froze, and she tried to soften her expression. She walked to the table and began to put away the discarded drawings one by one, softly Said: "Since that Xiaoye is willing to cling to Qiqi like this, he must be from a slightly cold background. In fact, it is not impossible..."
Song Zining said suddenly, "It's of course her own wish that she is willing to follow Qiqi."
Ye Mulan's heart skipped a beat, but she still maintained a gentle smile, picked up the scraps she had sorted out and said, "Zining, go to bed early."
"Um."
Ye Mulan gently closed the door of the study, walked to a secluded corner, suddenly gritted her teeth, grabbed two pieces of drawing paper and tore them to pieces. will? When did the Seventh Prince of the Song Dynasty start to care about women's wishes
The maid next to her was taken aback, and quickly looked back and forth to see if no one was passing by, and squatted down to pick up all the shredded paper. While gently persuading: "Miss, it's just a woman, Qi Shao is just fresh for a while."
Ye Mulan said coldly: "I don't know what that bitch is! Qiqi is clearly fooling Zining, what should I say? Zining is soft-hearted towards relatives." She has recovered her demeanor at this time , took the maid and left as if nothing had happened.
After a while, Ye Mulan's maid quietly went to the outer courtyard. Not only the Song family's own guards lived there, but also some noble children attached to the Song family.
This time, Song Zining only brought a guard of 50 people, plus more than 20 entourages, and a few rooms were vacant in the courtyard that could accommodate a hundred people, so these gentry children tried their best to find ways to live in. Even if there are seven or eight people squeezed into a room, they don't care, as long as they stay for one night anyway. But after Chunshou returned, they could claim to be living in the Song Clan's courtyard, which was a glorious thing.
The maid walked into the last room at the east end, and there were only three people living in it. They are all young children of noble families with foreign surnames, or they found Ye Mulan's door directly, or were introduced by the patriarch of the Ye clan. Obviously, the treatment of three people in one room is much better than that of other dependents.
And because this room is at the very top, it is relatively larger, and there is an extra window, which is more spacious and bright. It was Ye Mulan who adjusted the residence of the guards of the Song family and squeezed out a room.
The maid didn't stay for long, but the roll of paper she was holding when she entered the door disappeared.
Three people in the room are discussing around the picture of a lady.
"This matter is very troublesome. That Xiaoye is Qiqi's female companion and guard, right?"
Another person said disdainfully: "What kind of guard, everyone knows what she is for. My brothers and I are all six or seven level, and they were killed on the battlefield! But a five-level chick, isn't it easy to catch?"
The third person murmured: "It's not right! Once this happened, Qiqi wouldn't kill us? It's not likely that the Song family will stand up for us."
"You are just cowardly! Wealth and wealth come from danger. If it is an easy thing to do, the Song family can do it by themselves. Why do you need to find us? Qi Shao's intentions are so obvious, and such a good opportunity must not be missed. We This is called doing what you like!"
The third person said again: "That's it! It's definitely not possible here. Although each family has a courtyard, they are too close together. When we enter the mountain tomorrow, each family will set up their own camps. There must be chaos in the movement of people and horses. We are nearby. Lurk, wait for that chick to be alone or simply lure her out, knock her down with a punch, cover her with cloth and leave! As long as you do things carefully, there will be no traces left. Without further ado, we will do it tomorrow night!"
"Hey! Do you think we should tie up that chick and send her there, or strip her naked and stuff her directly into Seventh Young Master's bed?"
"Cut! Are you obsessed with lust, kid? Seventh Young Master still wants the woman you stripped off?"
"Hey! That's what I said! That chick is so hot! It makes people itch!"
The voice in the room dropped, and there was a burst of suppressed strange laughter from time to time.
A while later, Song Zining saw his two followers in the study.
The short and strong one named Song Jing spoke first, and told about Ye Mulan's maid going to the front yard, and then said a little uneasy: "Master, if they really succeed, will they be against Miss Yin's cousin?" Not easy to explain?"
Song Zining glanced at him with a half-smile. Song Jing immediately shut up, thinking that the young master was too indulgent to the future young mistress.
Song Zining's gaze turned to another picture of a disused lady on the desk. What does Ye Mulan's actions mean? There are many ways to get a woman, but she chose the rudest one. She wouldn't have thought that if this matter broke out, it would be the Song clan who would have a bad reputation, unless that person had some problems, if it fell into Ye Mulan's hands, it would be a solid handle for Qiqi.
Song Ge, a thin young man next to him, reported another thing, "Master, I got the list of Miss Qiqi's entourage from the Duke's Mansion. Soldiers, long-range combat positions."
There were tens of thousands of people participating in the Tianxuan Spring Hunting, and the information provided by the Duke's Mansion only included the children of each family. Of course, it was impossible to include the huge number of guards, concubines and maids. Because Qianye was one of the nine members of the Yin family's hunting team, he had a record in the Duke's Mansion, and the information was extremely simple.
Song Zining frowned, and whispered to himself, "Why is that so?"
The two relatives looked at each other inexplicably, and Song Ge carefully added, "Miss Ye seems to want to ask for this list through Captain Qiu." Captain Qiu is the captain of the Song Family Guard.
"Wait for a while and give it to her when the hunt starts." Then Song Zining asked, "Where did she and Qiqi meet last time?"
Song Ge thought for a while and answered, "Miss Ye went to the lower continent a month ago, and she should have met Miss Qiqi at the dinner party held by Lord Yuan Zeyu in Xichang City. As for the specific situation, I need some time."
Song Zining said, "Let's check Qian Xiaoye together."
"That's someone close to Miss Qiqi. Checking her background information may alarm Miss Qiqi."
Song Zining said flatly, "It's okay, just let them know."
In the early morning of the next day, there were teams starting from the Weiguo Courtyard one after another, heading for the depths of the Tianxuan Mountains. The major families have already sent people to explore the address of the forward camp, but in order to make the spring hunting realistic and exciting, they only set up camp one day in advance.
The empire has gone through thousands of years of war, and even activities like spring hunting strive to be close to actual combat.
In order to ensure the harvest, the division of the hunting areas of the major aristocratic families will follow the example of the war zone and will be separated as much as possible. The rewards given by the Chunshou ranking are second, and the glory of the family name is more important. And if he can make a big splash during the spring hunting, it will be a shortcut for the children of the gentry to ascend to the sky. A few of these gentry children are attached to a certain family, while some move freely.
The site of the Yin family camp is located on a gentle slope halfway up the mountain, with the stream at the bottom of the valley in front of it, the distance from the mountains and forests is moderate, and it is not too far from the main road leading to the Weiguo Gongyuan, so it is a good place.
The style of the camp is modeled on that of a military camp. The three wooden houses in the center are the main building where Qiqi lives. It also has the functions of tactical command, kitchen and equipment warehouse. There are long row houses on all sides, which are not only the residences of the guards, but also can be used as fortifications.
Ji Yuanjia led the team to set up the camp in advance, and most of it was completed at this time, except for the two conjoined tool rooms behind the row house in the northeast corner, half of which was not yet completed. It was already afternoon when Qiqi and the others arrived, and it was already night after everything was cleaned up.
In the forest, three figures were slowly approaching the camp. Their figures were vaguely visible, and their aura did not leak out at all. Obviously, they were all good players in sneaking ambushes. They found a hiding place not far from the camp and carefully observed the movement ahead.
From time to time, people were busy coming in and out of the row houses of the camp, but they were all servants. The guards patrolled back and forth in groups of three. There were two groups of people on the periphery, which was not dense, but the route protected the main building without gaps. The three couldn't help feeling a little tricky.
It didn't take long for the three of them to see the goal of their trip, Xiao Ye!
Xiaoye came out from the main building, it seems that her residence is with Qiqi. If this is the case, I am afraid that this trip will return in vain. No matter how good these three people are at hunting in the wild, they don't think they can break into the heart of the Yin family's camp.
Soon they found that things turned around. Xiaoye didn't know what he was busy with, but he didn't call his guards and followers, and walked to the northeast corner of the house by himself with a huge box. The three of them adjusted their positions and continued to observe. There were two independent tool rooms over there, only one was built, and the other was not yet capped.
Xiaoye went back and forth several times, carrying a few big boxes, and then the light in the tool room turned on, and she couldn't come out from inside. The three looked at each other and saw the excitement in each other's eyes. This chick is too considerate, didn't she send great wealth to them out of thin air
That place was in the corner of the camp, and it was not yet completed. It seemed that no one lived nearby. The patrolling guards were about half an hour apart, enough for them to move. Right now is to wait patiently for the opportunity, and then make a surprise attack in one fell swoop, catch people and run away.
The three of them dived nearby, and they could clearly see Xiao Ye's shadow shaking on the window. They waited for a while, and the patrol team passed by. Just as they were about to make a move, a faint voice came from the depths of the forest behind them. They were immediately startled. There was no one in that direction, and it was the chosen escape route. Why did someone suddenly appear
Fortunately, the human voice gradually faded away, and the three of them finally let go of their worries.
But not long after, human voices sounded again, this time closer, and about eight or nine human voices could be heard clearly. Those people got closer and then gradually moved away. It seemed that they were going in a big circle. I don't know if they were scouting or looking for something.
When the voices of the people in the forest disappeared, one of them gritted his teeth and said, "I can't wait any longer, let's do it now!"
So the three of them jumped out of the hiding place, like three ghostly shadows, skimmed over the low wooden fence, and touched the cabin from a blind spot in the direction of the camp. The three of them reached out to put their hands on the door and window respectively, and the force of the original force broke the latch, and then rushed into the room at the same time.
Qianye was wearing a black gown that was similar in style to the night banquet in Wu'an Hall, except that the dark pattern embroidery was changed from aqua blue to golden yellow, and the wide sleeves were tied up with ribbons for the convenience of work. He was standing in front of the table. Various firearms and bow and crossbow parts were placed on the long table that occupied one-third of the size of the hut. At this moment, he raised his head in astonishment and looked at the three guys who broke in suddenly.
The three of them were dressed in light armor and covered their faces with scarves, and it seemed that they had malicious intentions. But what surprised Qianye was that they only had one level 7 and two level 6. With this strength alone, they dared to enter the Yin family camp at night
In the eyes of the three of them, Xiao Ye was obviously frightened and overwhelmed. But a beauty is a beauty, the more afraid she is, the more lovable she looks, or the more she looks like she wants to be trampled.
The three of them felt that there might be no need to be rough when dealing with such an easily startled little beauty, so one of them said: "Listen, Song Qigong has taken a fancy to you, this is your luck! Come with us obediently, as long as Qigongzi is in love with you The service is comfortable, and maybe I can become a concubine. Isn't it better than following a woman like Qiqi, who has no name and no distinction? The Song family is a big family!"
Qianye couldn't tell what kind of expression he had on his face, and said, "Song Qi...has he taken a fancy to me?"
When the three of them heard it, they felt that there was something going on. Qianye's expression, in their eyes, was that of fear and joy. Anyway, no matter what expression the little beauty looks on, it makes people happy. None of them noticed that the little beauty's voice was a bit deep and tough, not as sweet and mellow as ordinary girls.
"Then it's fake? He even drew a lot of portraits of you after he went back! Hurry up and leave with us. When you become rich and prosperous in the future, don't forget that we are brothers!"
Another person said: "Exactly! For a beauty like you, looking at it a few more times makes one's bones crumble. Wouldn't it be a waste to be a bodyguard?"
The third person took out a rope and a clean white towel, and said apologetically, "To prevent accidents, the only thing I have to do is wrong you."
Qianye didn't know how to describe his mood at this moment, he moved his fingers, and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "Song Zining... I really want him to die!"
The three of them suddenly felt something was wrong!
Under the night, the voices of people in the forest in the direction of the three people came again, and suddenly a group of nine people rushed out, all fully equipped. They were all in a state of distress, with tired faces, not only their hair was disheveled, but even their outer robes were scratched a lot, revealing the close-fitting armor underneath.
The leader is tall and heroic, with some extraordinary momentum. There was no damage on his body, but it was covered with a faint khaki light.
The Wei family secret said that the Thousand Mountains were famous far and wide, but in this person's hands they were used to open paths in the forest and protect clothes. I don't know how much Mrs. Wei Jiatai will give him if she finds out.
This young man is Wei Qiyang, a guy who calls himself Potian. He ran out of the forest, looked at the camp not far away, and the big "Yin" on the flying flag, and grinned unconsciously: "I finally found it, his grandma's, and ran away for most of the night!"
