What would make Nangong Cheng come here in person? Nangong Mu frowned: "Where is Brother Sheng now..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Nangong Cheng approaching in a hurry, bowing apologetically: "Second Uncle, please forgive Sheng'er for being rude..."
"Why should a family be so polite!" Nangong Mu interrupted him kindly, and then asked, "Brother Cheng, what happened? Did you come here in a hurry?"
Lin and Nangong Yue were also a little nervous, lest something serious happened in the mansion.
Nangong Cheng said solemnly: "This morning, the Holy Majesty received an urgent request of three thousand miles..."
When he said this, Nangong Yue and others all remembered. When they left the city this morning, they did see soldiers yelling for three thousand miles to hurry up. Didn't expect this incident to be related to Nangong's family
Nangong Cheng continued: "The governor of Jiangnan came to report that the remnants of the previous dynasty are causing chaos in the Jiangnan area, and have captured two cities."
Everyone was shocked by what they said. After all these years of peaceful life, they still have lingering fears about the war decades ago.
Although Nangong Cheng looked calm, he couldn't hide his worry, "Second uncle, the Holy Majesty has ordered General Wei Yang to lead 50,000 troops to quell the rebellion, and my father has not returned since he was proclaimed into the palace. People in the mansion are now in panic. This matter is of great importance. , Grandmother sent me here to ask Second Uncle to return home immediately to stabilize people's hearts!"
Lin quickly said: "In this case, let's pack up and go home immediately."
However, Nangong Mu shook his head and said: "It's getting late today, if you take a carriage, I'm afraid you won't be able to close the city gate and enter the capital, the three of you mother and son will return tomorrow, and I will go back to the mansion with brother Cheng alone. "
Lin looked at the darkening sky outside, and had no choice but to agree to Nangong Mu's arrangement, and said in his mouth: "Master, Brother Cheng, you all have to be careful along the way!"
Nangong Mu simply packed his luggage, and hurriedly rode away with Nangong Sheng in the night...
Nangong Yue bowed her head in thought at the side, having just heard what Nangong Cheng said. She finally remembered that in her previous life, there was also the rebellion of the remnants of the previous dynasty. I still remember that only because the rebellion happened in the south of the Yangtze River, the literati and scholars in the south of the Yangtze River criticized the imperial court for their inaction, so that the remnants of the previous dynasty broke down two cities and ran rampant to this point, causing countless deaths and injuries to the people, and the separation of countless families.
The emperor was afraid that this matter would intensify under the impetus of caring people, and he would not be able to control the situation at that time, so he had to reuse the Nangong clan, who was very prestigious among scholars, to appease the scholars in the south of the Yangtze River.
It can be said that the emperor at this time no longer cared about whether Nangong Mansion was concerned about the previous dynasty, and just wanted to calm down the current chaos, so he promoted his uncle Nangong Qin to be the third-rank servant of the Ministry of Rites, and even his father Nangong Mu He was appointed by the emperor as a minister of the sixth-rank cabinet.
At that time, Nangong Mansion was full of glory, and grandma's ambition was further inflated, and she greedily wanted more, more... and then pushed Nangong Mansion to the cusp of the storm, and finally caused Nangong Mansion to end up being punished...
Thinking of this, Nangong Yue squinted her eyes. In this life, she must not lose the chance to come back because of her grandmother's ambition.
Nangong Yue turned her head to look at Mrs. Lin, seeing her mother's frowning expression, she quickly comforted her: "Mother, don't worry, nothing will happen." She paused, then said slightly ironically, "Even the family members It will be a blessing in disguise!" At least for now, Nangong Mansion will not have any accidents, and will benefit from this rebellion.
Lin couldn't help feeling a little ashamed, as a mother, she still wanted her young daughter to comfort her. She temporarily let go of the worries in her heart and started talking and laughing with her children.
That night, Nangong Yue didn't return to her room until it was completely dark. As soon as she entered the room, she realized that something was wrong. There was a bloody smell in the air. The smell was so light that ordinary people couldn't smell it at all. But in her previous life, she studied medicine with her grandfather. Her grandfather emphasized that seeing, hearing, and asking everything are indispensable. Under the guidance of her grandfather , her sense of smell became still sharper.
Nangong Yue's heart was full of alarm bells. There would be bloody smell in her room? Could it be...
Fearing that her actions would startle the snake, Nangong Yue calmly said to Yimei: "I don't know if Daddy has arrived at the mansion?"
"Looking at the time, the second master should have arrived." Yimei lit the candle, looked at the sky outside the window and said.
"This damn remnant of the previous dynasty, who didn't keep his tail between his legs and behave himself, dared to rebel, so that Dad had to go back to the manor now, and he couldn't stay with us in Zhuangzi for two more days." Nangong Yue deliberately made a childish appearance, Pouted and complained.
"The third girl misses the second master, right? Don't worry! The second lady said, we will go back tomorrow." Yimei quickly comforted her, but she couldn't help but wonder why the third girl suddenly became childish. But thinking of the second master leaving in a hurry before, she was relieved, thinking that Nangong Yue was unhappy because she couldn't play on Zhuangzi for two more days.
"What a disappointment, I'm leaving tomorrow." Nangong Yue walked around angrily, while observing the whole room carefully... When she saw a few inconspicuous drops of blood on the ground, her eyes froze.
Nangong Yue kept complaining, but her eyes glanced at the wardrobe behind the bloodstains. Seeing this, Nangong Yue's heart trembled. There was an indistinct bloody fingerprint on the door of the wardrobe...
"... No, I have to talk to my mother, how can I leave tomorrow? I want to play for two more days." Nangong Yue muttered, turning around to leave.
At this moment, the door of the closet was suddenly pushed open, and a blue figure flew out of the closet like lightning. The speed of the person coming was so fast that Nangong Yue couldn't avoid it, and was instantly strangled by the other party. Throat.
Nangong Yue closed her eyes and smiled wryly in her heart, it seemed that she had miscalculated.
"Smelly girl, we meet again." A familiar voice chuckled, and at the same time the other party let go of her throat.
this voice is...
Nangong Yue's heart moved and she looked up. The object of entry was the young man's graceful face, with beautiful Danfeng eyes moving around, looking at her with a smile that was not a smile.
"Xiao Yi, why are you here?" Nangong Yue's face was full of astonishment.
Yimei on the side almost fainted, there was actually someone hiding in the girl's room, and it was Xiao Shizi!
Xiao Yi did not answer Nangong Yue's question, but instead looked at her with a mocking face: "Stinky girl, you have already found out that there is someone in the room, right? Your acting skills are not bad, if I hadn't gotten along with you a few times, I would definitely have been You concealed it... Hey, we are really destined, I didn't expect this Zhuangzi to belong to your family." He said it in a serious manner, but in fact there is no coincidence in this world. The stinky girl usually doesn't go outside the door, but he "accidentally" heard that the stinky girl seldom goes out to play, so he wanted to go for a walk with her, but he didn't expect to meet an assassin on the way... A gloomy look flashed in his eyes, There are only a handful of people who know his whereabouts...
Nangong Yue stroked her forehead, thinking: I don't want this kind of evil fate. She never thought that the person hiding here would be Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi suddenly tilted his head, looked around, and asked: "By the way, where is that kitten, why didn't I see you with me?"
When Yimei heard this, she felt dizzy again. She said why suddenly there was a cat in the girl's room, and it was sent by Mr. Xiao!
Nangong Yue replied flatly: "Xiaobai is in the mansion."
Xiao Yi suddenly became unhappy: "Smelly girl, you are so heartless, how can you casually throw the things I gave you to others?" There was a hint of sadness in his tone.
Just as Nangong Yue was about to say something, Xiao Yi suddenly turned pale and his body shook twice.
Thinking of the bloody smell just now, Nangong Yue couldn't help but tighten her heart, and blurted out: "Are you injured?"
"Yeah, I was injured." Xiao Yi casually found a chair and sat down as if at home, and brought his blood-stained right arm to Nangong Yue, complaining with aggrieved expression, "It hurts." .”
With black lines on Nangong Yue's face, she asked resignedly, "Do you need me to apply medicine for you?"
"Okay, okay." Xiao Yi nodded his head.
Nangong Yue had no choice but to order Yimei to fetch a basin of clean water, while she stepped forward and lifted Xiao Yi's sleeves. Seeing this, he couldn't help but gasped, and saw that the wound on the right upper arm was more than two inches long, and the flesh was turned sideways. If it was any deeper, it might hurt the meridians. It can be deduced from this that it must have been extremely dangerous at that time. If he was not careful, his arm would have been useless.
Nangong Yue didn't say much, she took out the purse containing the silver needles, took out a few silver needles, skillfully pricked a few acupuncture points, and first stopped the bleeding for Xiao Yi. After Yimei fetched clean water, she washed his wound, and finally applied her homemade wound medicine.
There was a burst of coolness from the wound, and Xiao Yi focused his eyes on the little girl in front of him who was serious about his injury.
I haven't seen you for a few days, and the little girl seems to be more and more fresh. Those bright and clear eyes, like water, coupled with fair and moist skin, exude a pearl-like luster under the soft light. The more you look at it, the more you can't help but look at it.
After Nangong Yue finished applying the medicine for him and bandaged his wound, Xiao Yi said generously: "Smelly girl, you have helped me a lot this time, so feel free to ask for anything... But what you owe me is still What you owe me is two different things!" Although he was injured, he still made a lot of nonsense.
I have nothing to ask, I just want you to get out of here quickly. Nangong Yue actually wanted to say that in her heart, but when she thought of his messy personality, she swallowed this sentence. Thinking about making a simple request, it would be better to settle it on the spot.
As soon as she turned her gaze, she saw a piece of sheep fat white jade hanging from Xiao Yi's waist, she stretched out her hand and tore it off, "Give this to me, it's repaying the favor." She briskly raised the sheep fat jade in her hand. Zhi Baiyu, but saw the other side looking at him strangely, for some reason, a bad premonition suddenly surged in his heart.
"So it's like this." Xiao Yi resumed his usual playful smile, "So you want me to promise you with your body!"
