Later, even the hidden guards also heard about the fact that "my lord and Xiaowu went shopping together, and finally rescued a girl who escaped from the bandits", so they all went to visit and condolences, and they were very enthusiastic.
"Ah, what are a large group of men here for?" The aunt in charge of taking care of the woman in yellow just came out with hot water when she saw a group of hidden guards running vigorously, so she was very dissatisfied, "Get out quickly." Although She is a wandering woman, but since she lives here temporarily, it is also considered a boudoir, so how can the elders break in casually.
We just want to express our concern! Being kicked out unexpectedly, the dark guard felt a little disappointed and walked back lazily.
Fortunately, at a later time, everyone had just finished their dinner, and the servants came to report again, saying that the girl who had been rescued earlier had woken up.
"Let's go." Wen Liunian stood up, "Let's go and have a look together."
Hua Tang said, "I'll go too." Anyway, it's a girl's house, so it's convenient to have her own work.
The rest of the people naturally also followed, mighty and imposing.
"Here we are again." After entering the small courtyard, the dark guard looked at the aunt with very warm eyes, and he deserved a beating.
Auntie: ...
Inside the room, the woman in yellow was sitting on the edge of the bed drinking water. When she saw Wen Liunian coming in, she got out of bed and wanted to salute, but Hua Tang grabbed her first.
"Girl don't need to be too polite." Hua Tang said, "Lie down properly."
The woman in yellow nodded, "Thank you."
Wen Liunian sat on the chair beside the bed.
A large group of people squeezed in after them, and soon filled the room.
The woman in yellow was a little surprised, why... so many people.
The Jianghu mascot is smiling and very hospitable.
"Don't be afraid." Wen Liunian said, "They are all members of the government." One by one explaining the sects must not be understood by the other party, so it is more convenient to directly attribute it to oneself.
"Yes, yes, we are all official servants, the kind of imperial salary!" The dark guard immediately nodded in agreement when he heard the words, and suddenly had an additional identity, which is really very good.
The woman in yellow didn't know what to say, so she said after a long while, "Thank you for your kindness, my lord."
"This is also a matter of my duty, so you don't have to be polite." Wen Liunian said, "How is the girl now?"
"Still dizzy." The woman in yellow said.
Hua Tang checked her pulse and said, "It's a little weak, it will take ten and a half months before she can come back."
"It will take so long." Wen Liunian stroked his chin.
"My lord." Seeing that Wen Liunian seemed to be hesitant, and the woman in yellow showed signs of crying again, "I am homeless. If your lord doesn't mind, you can even leave me as a girl. I don't want money, I just want It is enough to have a shelter from the wind and rain."
"Girl, don't worry." Wen Liunian said, "What's your name?"
The woman in yellow replied, "Fang Cui."
"It's the surname of Jiangnan." Wen Liunian said, "I didn't have time to ask in detail before, but now I have time, you can explain what happened in detail, so that I can seek justice for you."
"Thank you, sir." Before the woman could speak, she started to cry again, and said after a long while, "My family was originally in Qifu Town, Qingshui River. Unexpectedly, when I walked to Fengsha Cliff just now, I met a group of bandits, who killed anyone they saw, and finally tied me up, saying that they would sell me to the north of Luocha Kingdom to be a concubine."
Wen Liunian said, "Raksha Kingdom?"
"Yes." The woman nodded.
Wen Liunian frowned slightly. Ever since Chu State and Qijue State joined hands to repel the invasion of Raksha State a few years ago, they have issued an order to prohibit any further business with it. They have never heard of such a business before. To Rakshasa
"There is indeed such a thing." Seeing that he seemed a little puzzled, Zhao Yue took the initiative to explain, "But they are all bandits and grassroots, and there is no big atmosphere. It is said that among some nobles in the Raksha Kingdom, women from the Chu Kingdom very popular."
"It really happened." Wen Liunian shook his head, planning to write a letter to his superiors tomorrow, and the border guards must be strengthened, otherwise how many girls from good families would be killed.
"Is the girl going to the northeast with the caravan alone?" Huatang asked suddenly.
"There are also maids and servants, all of whom were killed by the bandits." Fang Cui replied, "My family is considered a wealthy local family."
"That's it." Hua Tang nodded, and didn't say anything else.
Wen Liunian asked a few more questions, and later saw that she seemed a little tired, so he led someone to get up and leave, so that she could rest more.
"My lord." Fang Cui tentatively asked, "Can I stay in the future?"
"I'm not in a hurry to talk about these things." Wen Liunian said, "Young lady, rest at ease and recuperate, and discuss the rest later."
Fang Cui nodded and watched everyone leave the room.
After returning to the residence, Wen Liunian sat at the table, as if thinking about something.
Zhao Yue shook his hands in front of him, "Why are you out of the sky again?"
"It's a bit strange." Wen Liunian said.
"What's weird?" Zhao Yue sat opposite him.
"The woman who was rescued today." Wen Liunian said.
"Let's listen." Zhao Yue poured tea for him.
"She claims to be a big family in the south of the Yangtze River, but she doesn't look like a young lady from a wealthy family." Wen Liunian said, "When she was at the gate of the city today, her food seemed a bit too... heroic."
"But I have been hungry for several days." Zhao Yue reminded.
"I've been to Qingshuijiang twice before." Wen Liunian said, "It's Zhuangyuan Town, even the children of poor families will be sent to school, and the rich and noble families will be even stricter and strictly abide by etiquette. No matter how hungry you are, as a young lady from a rich family, you shouldn’t gobble it up like that in front of dozens of people, making your face covered in oil.”
"Only this?" Zhao Yue asked.
"Also, when we went to visit her tonight, except for Zuo Hufa, they were all men. If you were a girl from an ordinary family, even if you were dressed neatly, it would be impossible for so many men to see her covered with a quilt." Wen Liu Nian said, "She didn't react at all." It was more like coming out of Fengyuechang.
"No wonder you want everyone to go there, and you don't want Aunt Wang to pass the news in advance." Zhao Yue said, he was still wondering how a wounded girl could go there with more than a dozen people.
"It's just a test." Wen Liunian said, "If she feels a little unwell, I will naturally let the rest of the people back down, but she doesn't have any abnormalities at all." So they simply let everyone stay.
"Be more careful." Zhao Yue said, "If there are other plans, it is likely to be from the Tiger Head Gang, which will be beneficial to us." "Send a clue to the door in vain, don't use it in vain.
Wen Liunian smiled, "I think so too." It really couldn't be more tacit understanding.
On the other side, Zhao Wu was also a little surprised, "Fake it?"
"I don't say 100% sure, but there is still a seventy-eight percent certainty." Huatang spread the quilt, "Professing to be a young lady from a rich family, which rich family would be willing to let their daughter do rough and tiring work? Let alone look at her calloused hands The position should be formed by holding a knife all year round."
"I'll remind you, sir." Zhao Wu walked out.
"Your Excellency has already seen it." Huatang sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him.
"Really?" Zhao Wu was a little surprised.
Huatang said, "You're the only one who is stupid, and brought him back."
Zhao Wu was choked, I didn't know it before.
"When my lord asked her tonight, almost every question was tricked." Huatang said, "It was fine at the beginning, but his answers became more and more full of loopholes later on. I guess you are the only one who is still in the dark." In the drum." After speaking, he added, "There is also the master."
Zhao Wu: ...
"But since your lord didn't expose it face to face, there should be his reasons." Hua Tang said, "We'll act along the way together. I guess it's another chess piece sent by the Tiger Head Gang. I'll ask tomorrow and see what's next. How exactly are you going to do it?"
Zhao Wu nodded, recalling that when he brought her back today, he seemed to have been rubbing against himself intentionally or unintentionally, and suddenly felt that his whole body began to itch, and he took a full bath three times before going to bed.
In the future, it is better to encounter these things less often!
The red-armored wolf lay on the table, crawling around bored.
no one to play with...
not happy.
In the small courtyard at the other end, Wen Liunian was lazily lying on the bed, asking Zhao Yue to pinch his shoulders for him.
"Don't want to sleep?" Zhao Yue asked, "Why do you keep your eyes open?" I usually fall asleep after pinching twice.
Wen Liunian said, "Not sleepy."
"If you don't want to sleep, can I ask a question?" Zhao Yue stopped.
"Naturally." Wen Liunian turned to look at him, "What's the problem?"
Zhao Yue lay beside him, "About that girl of unknown origin—"
Wen Liunian narrowed his eyes, "You're actually thinking about girls."
"Don't make trouble." Zhao Yue laughed, "I'm serious. If it was really sent by the Demon Sect, why would you make up such a flawed story for yourself?"
"It's not full of loopholes, maybe everyone can notice it." Wen Liunian said.
"That's right." Zhao Yue nodded, but he didn't hear it just now.
"In fact, it is not easy to forge an identity, especially under the condition of so many sects and the government working together." Wen Liunian said, "Although Chu State has a vast territory, the people in the government office have traveled far and wide and seen the world. No matter where you say it, it may reveal your truth, so you can only choose a place that you are most familiar with."
"Yes." Zhao Yue said, "I understand."
"There's also the matter about the bandits trying to sell her to the Raksha Kingdom." Wen Liunian said, "It's actually the most reasonable explanation. After all, apart from that, there's no reason for her to appear near Cangwu City."
"The head is very easy to use." Zhao Yue reached out and tapped.
"Of course it's easy to use." Wen Liunian accepted the compliment frankly.
"Go to sleep." Zhao Yue said, "As for the purpose of her trip, she will know after a long time."
Wen Liunian closed his eyes and rubbed against his arms again.
Just fell asleep like this.
There is something left to do.
Zhao Yue stretched out his arms to hug him tightly, and lowered his head to kiss him in his hair.
Wen Liunian thought to himself, why did he change places.
Zhao Yue waved out the lights.
Wen Liunian pouted in the dark, then stared at the dark top of the bed and thought about it.
When will the bandits be wiped out.
It seems that it is almost time to get married.
After all, Cangwu City is still some distance away from Jiangnan's hometown, and it will take a long time to go back and forth.
It must be prepared in advance.
A few days later, Fang Cui's health gradually improved, and she was able to walk around gradually. She would often rush to work with her aunt, and she didn't talk much at ordinary times, and she seemed quite honest.
And the rest of them also tacitly obeyed Wen Liunian's instructions, pretending they didn't notice anything.
Zhao Yue passed by outside this day, but she stopped him.
"Miss Fang has something to do with me?" Master Zhao stopped in his tracks.
"It's not a big deal." Fang Cui said, "I just want to ask, where is there a place that sells rouge and gouache in this city."
"I don't know about that." Zhao Yue said, "Aunt Li has something to go back home these days, the girl can ask Guardian Zuo."
"I dare not." Fang Cui was a little timid.
Zhao Yue laughed, "Why not?"
"I heard that she is a bit fierce." Fang Cui hesitated.
"I heard?" Zhao Yue said, "Who are you listening to?"
Fang Cui looked at the roof.
The mascot is eating melon seeds happily, and looking at the distant sky, we didn't say anything, the master must never tell Zuo Hufa!
"Why don't Mr. Zhao buy it for me?" Fang Cui said, "It's not easy for me to go to the street like this."
"Yes." Zhao Yue nodded in agreement.
"Young Master, wait a moment." Seeing his agreement, Fang Cui immediately smiled, and after running back to the house, he took out a jade bracelet, "This is left over from a bandit, and I don't have any money, so you can just pawn it. "
"Okay." Zhao Yue put away the jade bracelet, "Is there anything else?"
"No more, thank you, young master." Fang Cui was a little surprised in her heart, but she didn't show it on her face—according to her previous thinking, she thought that according to the upright style of martial arts, she would never ask for things from a woman in trouble, but she didn't. Thinking that the other party took it for granted.
"After I buy it, I will send it to the girl." Zhao Yue said.
Fang Cui nodded and saluted him, "Thank you, my lord."
Zhao Yue went all the way back to the study and handed over the jade bracelet to Mr. Wen.
"Tsk tsk." The second head of the Lu family was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, one gave a bracelet and the other bought rouge, and reckoned that he would kneel on the washboard again tonight.
"It's better to be more careful, Big Leader." Huatang also said on the side, "If it's really from the Tiger Head Gang, the biggest target is Big Leader."
"Since she took the initiative to find me, she naturally has to follow along." Zhao Yue said, "only then can we see what the trick is in the end."
The dark guard said, "It may be a beauty trick." It is often mentioned in the small story books, and it is simply the first of the thirty-six tricks!
The dark guard Yi kicked him, "That's not a beauty." He actually said such words in front of Guardian Zuo! Besides, even if it's really good, it's from the Tiger Head Gang, and it's very scary to think about it every day mixing with zombie puppets.
It is better to stay far away.
"My lord, it's better to bring the red-armored wolf with me these days, so as not to be tricked by her." Hua Tang said, "As for the rouge powder, I will prepare it for her."
"Will you lose your face?" The dark guard opened his mouth and asked, because this is the way Guardian Zuo works.
Huatang paused, "It's just ordinary rouge."
Dark Guard: ...
We also said it casually, so don't take it to heart.
After everyone dispersed, Wen Liunian glanced at Zhao Yue.
Master Zhao raised his hand, "I didn't even take a second look."
Wen Liunian said, "Oh."
Zhao Yue was helpless, "If you don't like it, I will avoid her in the future."
"Of course you don't need to avoid it." Wen Liunian said, "Not only do you not need to avoid it, but you also have to coax it along."
Zhao Yue said, "What if the other party really wants to seduce me?"
Wen Liunian said, "Then you just hook her up."
Zhao Yue's eyes widened. Would the bookworm be too generous? What does it mean to "just hook her"
Wen Liunian slowly cleared the table.
Zhao Yue grabbed his ear, "I don't know if you should watch me more closely?" Anyway, he is also a person who is going to get married in the future, so he doesn't even guard against beauty tricks.
Wen Liunian glanced at him, and asked back: "If I don't watch the prison, will you run away?"
Zhao Yue and him looked at each other for a moment, and were immediately discouraged.
That's right, even if you don't watch the prison, you won't run away.
Wen Liunian continued, "I don't run away anyway, so why should I watch?"
Zhao Yue's chest felt tight, but he couldn't talk to him, nerds would really piss people off!
Wen Liunian looked at him innocently.
Zhao Yue wanted to grit his teeth a little bit, bullying wasn't right, and he was really aggrieved if he didn't bully, so he simply hugged him by the waist, pressed him on the table and kissed him deeply.
We must always get back some of our talents.
The case was tough, but Wen Liunian didn't push him away, instead he took the initiative to put his hand around his neck.
Seeing him so obedient, Zhao Yue felt a little relieved, so he slowed down and continued to suck kisses between his lips.
Wen Liunian gently closed his eyes, feeling some desire overflowing in his heart, and slightly... agitated.
The inkstone was suppressed by the book that Zhao Yue casually threw out, and the red armored wolf had no place to run around, so he had to lie on the side of the file, shaking his tentacles and looking at the two of them, feeling a little puzzled.
What are you doing...
