Chapter 11: One pick one

Views:

That day, she ate more than half of the table's dishes, and finally couldn't eat any more, so she ordered two Yu Jingxiang's signature dishes to take away. Bai Yi smiled and coaxed her: "I will come later, why take it back?" Mui Kui held a kraft paper bag in one hand and shook his head, "Well... in a few days there will be war in the capital, and these shops will be closed. Yes, then Ah Kui will never be able to eat again."

Bai Yi thought it was funny, and whispered in her ear, "No, I'll take the cook back and let him cook it for you every day."

She let out a laugh, turned her head and looked at Bai Yi coldly, "Why didn't you say that you would withdraw your troops to Jiangnan, and still have peace in Chang'an, so these shops don't need to be closed?" Bai Yi's expression on his face It has become completely cold, and there is a bit of dangerous yin in his eyes. Kui knew that he was on the verge of anger, so he withdrew his staring gaze, looked at the table full of dishes and said with a smile: "A Kui is joking, don't take it to heart, General."

Bai Yi grinned and smiled lightly, but there was a bit of indifference in his eyes.

Zhuo Xiaolou took the money from Bai Yi, turned around and went downstairs to pay the bill first. There seemed to be a couple arguing behind her. She didn't care, she went straight to the counter, just took out the money, but heard a 'deng' behind her. With a bang, it seemed that the dishes had been placed heavily on the table. She was stunned for a moment and wanted to look back, but saw a man in black with no expression on his face, his tone was full of tough demands, but he didn't blame: "Yuyan..."

Zhuo Xiaolou's eyes were clear and he slowly tilted his head with a 'huh', but the corner of his lips felt a strange smile.

Pan Kui came down from the upstairs and saw Zhuo Xiaolou standing in front of the counter. She called out in displeasure. Seeing that she didn't hear it, she was about to call again when she suddenly heard a familiar laugh. .

Bai Yi was just behind Huan Kui, when he heard the voice, he froze slightly, and unconsciously looked in the direction of the woman. Seeing this action in his eyes, Kui sneered in his heart, took a few steps forward and said coldly to Zhuo Xiaolou: "What are you looking at, don't hurry up after paying the money, are you waiting to stay and serve the boss? Bai Yi frowned slightly when he heard this, but before he spoke, Lu Yuyan next to him had already seen them, and stood up in surprise and greeted, "Brother Bai!" Then his eyes swept across the woman beside him, his eyes slowly A burst of astonishment arose, she looked at the woman, as if she was searching seriously, after a while, the astonishment quickly became clear, she was silent for a while, and finally smiled gently: "Miss Yao, stay safe. "

Huan Kuirao didn't like Bai Yi anymore, but he didn't dislike Lu Yuyan much, at most he was a little jealous at the beginning. She smiled reluctantly, and before she spoke, Zhuo Xiaolou, who was beside her, looked at herself suspiciously: "Sister, is she talking to us?"

Yan Kui was stunned, squinted, looked at Bai Yi who didn't say a word, covered his lips and smiled: "People are talking to General Bai, don't interrupt children."

Bai Yixuan glanced at her, her expression still calm, she stepped forward and clasped her fists and said, "Brother Ying... Yu Yan, stay safe."

Bai Yi arranged Lu Yuyan and Qin Ying in the mansion, Mu Kui never visited, and Bai Yi didn't say much. The two of them kept silent about this couple who lived through their absurd youth, and had a tacit understanding.

After some time, Bai Yi held a banquet, and Bai Yi's banquets were always grand.

From behind the bamboo curtain, Kui looked at the scenery outside the hall from afar. He could only see the lantern hanging on the eaves. It was as red as a delicate peony. It was so beautiful and peaceful. Troubled. Bai Yi's guests were all his own subordinates, and they had to sit on both sides of the hall in twos and threes. The first ones were naturally Lu Yuyan and Qin Ying.

Zhuo Xiaolou called her softly, and Mui Kui came back to his senses, reaching out and continuing to turn over the flower rope in Zhuo Xiaolou's hand. After a few turns, she heard someone calling her in front of her, she lazily lifted her eyelids and looked around, only to see Bai Yi lifted the bamboo curtain and blocked it with one hand, looking at herself with deep eyes.

She was driving a red rope in both hands and bit one in her mouth. She didn't understand why he was looking for her, and looked at him for some unknown reason.

"Weak, I just called you."

"Mmmmmmm?" She bit the rope and still stared at him with wide eyes. Zhuo Xiaolou glanced at her, then at Bai Yi, and translated with a serious face: "What's the matter with you?"

Bai Yi: "The guests are all here. Would you like to meet them with me?"

Huan Kui: "Mmmm."

Zhuo Xiaolou: "No."

Bai Yi smiled helplessly, lowered the curtain and sat beside her, asking, "What's wrong?"

Huan Kui: "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm."

Zhuo Xiaolou: "I have something to look at."

Bai Yi glanced at Zhuo Xiaolou, then looked at Mu Kui, and smiled softly close to her ear: "The brothers must know what the general's wife looks like."

Ren Kui's body froze and turned to look at her blankly. Bai Yi was amused by her, gently pulled the red rope out of her mouth, touched the top of her head again, and said with a smile, "How?"

Originally, Kui came to this banquet only because he couldn't meet his request. He agreed that he would just sit behind the bamboo curtain and watch the singing and dancing with him. I didn't expect that he was actually playing this abacus, and he didn't respond for a while. Subconsciously, he replied, "I, do I still need someone to introduce you? Maybe there are A Kui's former benefactors there."

Bai Yi's face darkened, and just now Peng Kui realized that he had just said the thing he didn't like to hear, so he felt happy and complacent again in his heart, and felt as if he had won some game. He grabbed her hand involuntarily, pulled her up from the ground, and said gently, "Don't play with your temper, come with me."

He led Kui through the bamboo curtain, and when he looked at it, he was stunned by the guests on the spot. Mui Kui smiled sarcastically. Most of the guests here are from Bai Yi Jiangnan. Naturally, there will be no one to patronize her, but her name of Chang'an Hua Kui is not a false name. Of course, doing this business, In addition to praise, most of the burden is infamy. Looking at the people in the hall in front of him, Mu Kui knew in his heart that they belonged to the latter. The men's eyes were more restrained, and even if their faces were a little unhappy, they just silently lowered their heads and drank tea. One of the women looked over with a scrutiny. The girl couldn't help but glanced two more times, who knew that the girl saw that she was looking at herself, raised her chin slightly, and sneered.

Kui didn't make fun of himself, he lowered his head and smiled helplessly, Bai Yi took her hand from the side, walked to the Lord's seat, and helped her sit down again.

Finally, someone among the guests couldn't help but asked, "General, is this... is that the Chang'an Hua Kui?"

Bai Yi still had a faint smile on his face, while pouring the wine, he said, "This is Yao Suqiu, Miss Yao." After saying that, he pulled Mu Kui and turned to look at Lu Yuyan, "Yuyan and Xiaoqiang have not seen each other for a long time. ?"

Lu Yuyan nodded slightly embarrassedly when she saw the mocking expression on Huan Kui's face.

The soldier didn't care much, the soldier probably saw that even Miss Lu nodded, so this really did not match the rumors, scratched his head and muttered to himself until he lowered his head and took a bite, then raised his head and said stupidly: "But this girl is really beautiful. "I haven't seen such a beautiful girl before."

Seeing his simple and honest appearance, Bai Yi also smiled, and everyone in the audience saw that the atmosphere eased, but the heroic girl suddenly snorted coldly and squinted at Bai Yi, Bai Yi did not respond, just pretended not to See. In his heart, he only felt that Bai Yi was asking for trouble, so he was bored and fiddled with the wine glasses. He just pretended that he didn't see what they were talking about. The servant said that there was a messenger from outside the city who came back with a report of the battle, but the general was not found at the city gate, so he came to the mansion.

All the officers and men were a little disturbed, and Bai Yi waved to let people in. Ji Kui was a little puzzled. Bai Yi's father, Bai Lao, was fighting on the front line. Bai Yi was responsible for defending Chang'an City, so that he could hold the emperor to command the princes. At this time, there were only two possibilities. One was to fight the battle ahead. If he wins, the world will soon change his surname to Bai, and the other one is... ... Mui Kui glanced at Bai Yi, although he was still calm, he could not help frowning slightly, as if There are also some concerns.

The second situation is that something has happened ahead, and this Chang'an City is afraid that there will be another storm.

Bai Yi thought that she was still by her side and worried that she would not be able to listen to all these things, so she softened her expression and turned her head to her ear and said, "If you don't like listening to it, go back and rest, and I'll have someone give it to you. Send me something to eat."

Pan Kui was eager to leave early, so he got up and wanted to sneak out through the back door. As soon as he lifted the curtain, he heard a familiar voice behind him saying, "Report to the general..."

Yan Kui's body trembled and turned around slowly, but the man was also staring at him blankly, time seemed to freeze, he didn't continue talking, so he kept lifting the curtain until Bai Yi was thoughtful. He looked at himself with his eyes, and only then did Mu Kui react, and he hurriedly lowered the curtain and fled.

After leaving the hall, Zhuo Xiaolou tugged on the corner of her clothes and whispered, "Sister, is that the one who sold mirrors?"

Li Kui stood under the scorching sun, his palms were sweaty, and there was no expression on his face.

A pass guarded by the Bai family was breached. Bai Yi announced the end of the banquet in the middle of the banquet. All the officers returned to the city gate with him. When he left, Pun Kui stood on the pavilion and watched him. With a majestic look on his horse, he smiled slightly. Zhuo Xiaolou tilted his head to look at her with a puzzled look on his face, but Mu Kui touched her head and said, "In this world, the surname will never be Bai."

She has been very comfortable these days. Bai Yi never told her the news from the front line, and never came to take care of her when there was a war. She was like a monkey without tigers in the mountains, who had been domineering for a long time.

When Zhong Yi found Mu Kui, the sun had already set, and there was only a sliver of afterglow hanging in the sky. Compared with the blue surrounding, the sky seemed half silent and half splendid.

Pun Kui was returning to the house from admiring the flowers in the garden next door. As soon as he entered the garden, he saw the woman with a spear on her back.

At first glance, she saw the long spear on her back, and after watching it for a while, she turned her eyes to the woman in front of her.

The girl who snorted to herself at the banquet that day, what was her name...

Peng Kui was thinking about it in his head, but the girl had already stepped forward and clenched her fists and said sternly: "In Xia Zhongyi, it is the lieutenant of the general's command."

Oh, by the way, the famous female general, Zhong Yi, finally remembered.

"What's the matter?" she asked casually.

The pretentious nobility in Huan Kui's eyes probably made Zhong Yi a little uncomfortable, because her face was not very good-looking. She stared at Pun Kui, was silent for a while, and said to her, "Please, go see the general."

Mui Kui let out an 'huh' and asked suspiciously, "Is he back? Isn't he supposed to be guarding Xuanping Gate these days?" This period of time was the period when the war and political situation were intensifying, and all the princes knew about it. Bai Huai took the emperor to order the princes, and they raised their troops one after another. There are also many loyal ministers and righteous people in the court to resist the Bai family. The old general Bai resisted the elite soldiers of the various princes in Shuofang. Do you still have time to come back to the mansion to live at this time?

Zhong Yi shook his head, "The general was assassinated by the enemy the day before yesterday, and he returned home injured for two days, but he didn't want the girl to know about it." After speaking, she glanced at the delicate, lazy and gorgeous girl in front of her. The time general that this woman was taking a nap and playing games may have spent three nights tidying up the military book. The time general that this woman put on makeup and clothes may be trying her best to argue with the wolf in the courtroom. The time general that this woman is picky about the delicacy may still be eating. Crude and unpalatable rations. But why, why should the general give her all the preciousness, to this woman who used to be just a humble maid and was later called a lowly woman!

Seeing the changes in her eyes, the corners of her lips curled into a smile. Mui Kui may not be as accurate in looking at women as men, but there is no one in the world who can see through jealous women better than her. That kind of look, like the look of Ling Chi who wants her to stay on the spot, how long has it been since I met? After leaving Yubei Square, it's really funny, since when did I like seeing other women jealous of myself so much? Thinking of this, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

When Zhong Yi heard her laughter, the disgust in her eyes deepened a bit, but immediately, the disgust in her eyes faded and turned into sadness.

Huan Kui nodded against his chin, his tone was so calm: "That's it..." After speaking, he cast his eyes lazily on Zhong Yi, and asked in doubt, "What else do you have to do? I'll go if it's okay. Rest, I'm sleepy."

The female general's eyes widened in disbelief. Seeing the anger that rose in her eyes, Kui secretly laughed in her heart.

"Aren't you worried about the general at all?"

"Oh? Is he dying?"

Zhong Yi was speechless, his hands already clenched into fists. Zhuo Xiaolou had to move in front of Mu Kui without a trace and told her to block her. She was really afraid that Mu Kui would provoke others and be beaten violently.

But she thought too much. Although Zhong Yi was a female general, she was not a tigress. She just calmed down for a moment, stared fiercely at the woman in front of her and said, "The general is drunk..." After a pause, her eyes flashed with jealousy, "But, he's calling your name."

Peng Kui was stunned, laughed, and said to her, "What did he ask me to do? I can't heal the wound."

Zhong Yi looked at her contemptuous smile, and couldn't bear it any longer, with a hint of anger in her tone: "Don't you want to see him? Now he needs you the most!"

She smiled, and there was a hint of slyness in her eyes, and she smiled sarcastically at Zhong Yi: "Tsk tsk, Lieutenant General Zhong, you won't play tricks when you see it."

Zhong Yi's face was gloomy, "What do you mean?"

"I mean..." Mui Kui took a few steps, turned around and raised his eyebrows, and said with a smile, "Why don't you just rush in and tell him that you are the person he called? You know, man I'm drunk, but I can't tell the difference, maybe he can still treat you as me and ask for it." After speaking, she might think it was funny to herself, haha ​​laughing.

A 'pop' made the air a little stagnant.

Yan Kui squinted his glasses and looked blankly at Zhong Yi, who was already burning with anger, the corners of his mouth raised an invisible arc.

"If you dare to insult the general again, I will skin you." The girl with the spear said to her fiercely.

The wind blows, and the green leaves slowly fall.

Yan Kui wiped the blood stains from the corner of his mouth, gave Zhong Yi a charming look, turned around and planned to leave. Behind him, he thought of Zhong Yi's angry voice: "Stop!" Seeing that the woman didn't mean to stop at all, Zhong Yi couldn't help but feel anxious, took a long spear and drew a fierce murderous aura in the air, "Stop! Believe it or not, I killed you. !"

Zhuo Xiaolou's face turned pale with fright, and he was about to rush up when he heard a very slight laugh, disdainful, and a little sad.

Day and night lit up, and Kui slowly turned around, with an extremely charming expression on his face, "Lieutenant General Zhong is trying to kill Ah Kui?" She raised her fingers and twisted the blade of the gun, and smiled softly: "It's this gun again. I said how he used the sword. It turned out that he gave this rare treasure to someone else." Her slender fingers gently stroked the sharp blade of the long spear, and her eyes were full of ridicule and recollection. Maybe not, those eyes were too deep for Zhuo Xiaolou to see through.

"The general does this for you, but you are so frivolous and arrogant again and again, it's true that the women in the brothel are in trouble!"

"Oh? That Vice Admiral Zhong wanted to... "

"Huan Kui, I have long heard that you were the servant girl of the Bai family when you were young, and then because of a gap with the general, you went to Beijing to become a prostitute in a fit of anger. At that time, I thought about what kind of an indecent girl she is. Dare to be angry with your master, and later became a man's plaything because of the master's punishment and did not love yourself. Now I can see it. !" Zhong Yi finally blushed with anger, and couldn't help but push the gun in his hand a little further.

Zhuo Xiaolou changed his face, walked to Zhong Yi and knelt down, and said in a panic, "Lieutenant General, calm down! Don't hurt my sister!"

Seeing that Mui Kui still seemed to have nothing to do with him, Zhuo Xiaolou was a little impatient, but he could only pull on Zhong Yi's skirt and begged for mercy: "Please put away the gun, my sister doesn't know how to speak, and I still look to the lieutenant. Don't take it to your heart..." Before she finished speaking, Zhong Yi kicked her and landed in her heart, kicking her aside.

Yan Kui's face changed, and he wanted to rush over to help him up, but he saw the spear slammed and wiped his neck, Zhong Yi's voice was full of anger and murderousness, "Huang Kui, the general is so confused by you, there are always people. What needs to be done, don't think that no one dares!" She was originally a desert woman, not weak or timid, only knew how to be arrogant, although she had the heart of a daughter, but when she thought that the person she admired was in front of this person who was thousands of miles away from her When the woman played with her palm, she could not restrain herself and was very angry.

"Sister—" Zhuo Xiaolou exclaimed, but it was Mu Kui's index finger that touched the sharp blade, and a drop of blood burst out from his fair skin.

Yan Kui smiled, and Yunyou's eyes slowly lifted from the gun and fell on the woman in front of him. She said: "It's really like..." Mu Kui looked at her with soft eyes, and said, "You remind me of someone... I used to be like this, and I can't tolerate others violating and insulting him, even a contemptuous look is enough. Tell that person to hold a grudge and curse for a long time." After a pause, she smiled: "But she is not comparable to you, and has the ability to hold the weapon in her hand to show those people a good look." She said, she actually smiled lowly, with a trace on her face. There is no fear.

Zhong Yi was confused by her, just stood there in a daze, forgetting to take back the gun in his hand.

"Actually, no one dares to despise the famous Young Master Bai, everything is just her pride..." His eyes gradually brightened, and became dazzling and moving, holding the grab on his neck and smiling: "This The gun stabbed into the chest once, but he survived that time, I don't know if this time, can it be... eh?"

what did she say? She said that the gun had stabbed into her chest, but it was Bai Yi's gun before... Zhong Yi was stunned, and before he could regain his senses, he felt that the gun in his hand was being carried forward. Taking it back, she looked at Mu Kui in astonishment, and said in disbelief, "You're crazy!"

Pun Kui stood in front of her, no longer looked at her, and lowered her hands, with blood still gurgling on her hands, but at the moment she looked extremely noble, arrogant like a peacock, and cold like a poisonous snake.

It seemed that Pun Kui took some time to calm down her previous madness. When Zhuo Xiaolou carefully walked to her side and gently held her hand, she slowly closed her eyes, took a breath, and turned to the pale Zhong Yi. Said, "If you don't kill it, just leave."
