Early the next morning, Shu Yue came to apologize to her.
Zhuo Xi looked at the clever girl kneeling under her and sighed. After all, she was not her own. She only threw the bag if there was no fragrance in front of her, and Shu Yue''s face changed greatly. She thought it was just a dereliction of duty, but she didn''t think it was this bag of powder.
She has just racked her brains. The fabricated story about yesterday''s disappearance is completely useless.
"Come on, who are you working for?"
"Miss six!"
"My big brother? Or someone else? "
"Miss has never trusted me. Even if I said it, would you believe the slave?"
"Whether you say it or not, believe it or not."
"Maidservant, maidservant..."
"Or you can tell me where you went last night? Have you found the secret way to the Duke''s bedroom? "
"No, the maidservant didn''t." She said powerlessly.
"Or are you going to find a full moon night, use this bag of powder, and then climb the bed smoothly?"
"No, it''s not what you think."
"So what? As I said, I hate people around me for hiding, cheating and using me. If you want to get close to Guang''an Hou and intend to become his woman, love him or hurt him, I won''t ask. But if you want to use me to achieve your goal, you have to ask me these two pets. Do you agree? " Xiaobai vomited her tongue and swam slowly. The big scorpion, Zhuo Xi kept his breath and was slowly crawling over the ground.
Shu Yue shouted in horror, "Miss, miss, I said, I said."
She retreated and began to shed tears. "I''m all for the young master. I grew up with the young master. Everything about him is everything to me. I just want to find a chance to coax the young master to take this package of medicine powder. He, he has always refused to take me. " There was a slight blush on her face.
"Do you think I''m a three-year-old?" With such a lame excuse, the slaves in this slavery society are only moving objects in the eyes of the nobility. Which noble man doesn''t eat the meat delivered to the door? Besides, Shu Yue is somewhat beautiful.
"Miss, it''s true. I served the young master since childhood and have always loved him. But he has refused to accept me. I, I just hope to be with him. Even if I''m a housemaid, I''d like to. "
"Xiaobai, your sister Shuyue doesn''t want to tell the truth. Go and teach her how to tell the truth." Xiaobai moves forward again.
"Miss, no! What the maidservant said is true. " She burst into tears. "Last night, last night, the maid found a gap to see the young master, but she couldn''t find the powder before she left. She thought it would fail again. Unexpectedly, the young master drank some wine last night. He was very happy. As soon as he was happy, he asked for a slave. If you don''t believe me, I''ll show you the evidence. "
She stood up and said in fear, "Miss, can you, can you keep them away from me first?"
Zhuo Xi stopped drinking Xiaobai. The little Scorpion was already dizzy. Now he lay on the ground and didn''t move.
Shu Yue slowly undressed and undressed. Zhuo Xi sure enough saw that she was full of kissing marks of various shapes from her neck to her thighs. At first glance, it was the result of having fun all night.
"It was the first time last night, and I don''t know the young master..." Shu Yue shyly covered the key parts with her clothes and didn''t dare to see Zhuo Xi.
Zhuo Xi sighed, "well, put on your clothes. I''ll trust you for the time being. Don''t hide anything from me in the future. "
"Yes, miss. I dare not. "
"You can have a good rest in the house today. You will return to Beijing with the marquis in two days. If you are comfortable, tidy up your luggage. I must remember to take that medicine pillow with me. I can''t sleep without it. "
"Yes, miss."
In the next two days, she asked Xiaobai to find several poisonous plants and make several bottles of close prevention drugs with the venom secreted by the scorpion. Shu Yue is comfortable in her house. When she sees Xiaobai, she is afraid to enter her house when she is not in.
On the third day, the whole villa was informed to start on time at noon, and everyone should be ready. Near the departure, Zhuo Xi found Xiaobai missing.
She called Xiaobai in the room. During the final packing, Shu Yue said unintentionally, "it seems that the maid just saw it go behind the window."
Back mountain again?
She thought that she was about to go to the back mountain to find some special herbs, so she went to the back mountain to find a circle. Sure enough, I found Xiaobai in a corner with a bulging stomach. It was obvious that she had just finished eating.
"You greedy snake, the time is coming. Let''s go." She called Xiaobai, but found that Xiaobai swayed his tail and swam straight in the other direction.
"Hey, Xiaobai, we''re going to be late. Come back quickly."
Zhuoxi stared anxiously at its little tail and followed it.
Xiaobai led her for a long time to a swamp. She watched Xiaobai wriggle and gradually spit out a vole that had just been swallowed. Xiaobai piled the voles on the wetland, then crawled aside and waited quietly. She sighed in her heart. She didn''t know which species of snake it was or what it had experienced before. It was almost as intelligent as a demon. Look at this situation, Xiaobai has something important to do. She had to wait with her.
After a while, the wetland gradually wriggled. A pair of red tentacles appeared in the mud next to the vole. It turned out to be a huge centipede.
Looking at the red giant foot bug, Zhuo Xi had goose bumps. She looked at Xiaobai''s white and tender skin and thin body, and couldn''t help but pinch a cold sweat for it. But what did Xiaobai look at her at this time? She can''t catch a centipede with bare hands. The centipede is extremely poisonous.
I didn''t let you go barehanded. Aren''t you armed?
She almost immediately understood Xiaobai''s eyes in the next moment. She didn''t know how to have such telepathy with this cold-blooded animal. She immediately pulled out the bronze sword that had been pinned to her waist. It felt too heavy. She weighed it and shot it out with a Shua. The centipede realized that it was late when the danger came. The sword accurately shot into the Centipede''s body and nailed it to the swamp.
Xiaobai cocked up her tail and pointed upward. Is that praising her? Ha ha, she smiled happily. But he immediately stopped and asked, "Xiaobai, Xiaobai, it''s going to fall."
The bronze sword was too heavy. It was slowly sinking with the body of the centipede.
Xiaobai jumped over and bit the Centipede''s tail, but although the copper sword is small, it is still too heavy for a small snake to stop it from sinking with the centipede.
Zhuo Xi saw this, grabbed the cane on a big tree near the swamp, swung himself over and picked up the green sword. The centipede was picked up with the small snake on its tail. When she was proud, the cane on her hand suddenly broke. She was shocked and threw her sword and Xiaobai onto the rock. She saw that she was about to rush into the swamp.
A slanting arm came and took her and flew to the bamboo forest.
She looked up and saw that it was Jing Yuan. It turns out that his lightness skills are so good, and his martial arts are probably not weak. Wheelchairs are used to hide people''s eyes and ears!
She saluted, "thank you for saving your life."
"Didn''t you give a military order to leave at noon? Why are you here alone? " Jing Yuan asked with a little anger and a little fear. If he hadn''t arrived in time, if she fell into the swamp... If a big centipede could be led out of the swamp, there would be a nest of big centipedes. He thought for a moment, and suddenly he felt the cold rising.
"Since the military order is like a mountain, how can the Marquis be here?"
"It''s not because of you..." Jian Yi came out from the side and thought of the situation that they had just stopped the Marquis from looking for her, so he didn''t fight at all.
Jing Yuan waved and stopped him. With a sweep of his cold eyes, when he turned to Zhuo Xi, the trace of unhappiness disappeared, "can you find Xiaobai?"
Zhuo Xi raised her eyes and found Xiaobai. She quickly let it get into her sleeve pocket, tore off her skirt, wrapped the centipede and carried it by hand.
Jian Yi said anxiously, "Marquis, let''s go. It''s too late."
"What''s too late?" Zhuo Xi asked strangely.
"They..."
"Jianyi!" Jing Yuan drank, his cold lips slightly pursed, his eyes looked at him sharply, and his cold face exuded an indisputable look. Jian Yi could not help shivering. He stood aside and dared not speak again.
Zhuo Xi said, "since the situation is urgent and my foot is slow, you''d better go first."
Jing Yuan looked at her and suddenly came forward and threw the centipede she was carrying to Jian Yi. "Let''s go together. Hold on! " She felt her waist tight and the whole person flew into the sky. Is this the legendary lightness skill? She quickly hugged his waist and joked that if he fell, he would be seriously disabled if he didn''t die.
Jing Yuan took her up and down to the mountain exit, and Jianyi followed him. Suddenly I heard a few swish, and the arrow rain was shooting at them. Zhuo Xi saw that it was a tragedy. Most modern martial arts are close combat. This long-range shooting can only dodge and look for shelter. Jingyuan''s side suddenly appeared several dark shadows, Keng Keng shot down arrows, and the rain protected them and hid in a cave.
Zhuo Xi saw that it was the entrance of the mine. Her intuition was that it was a trap.
Zhuo Xi looked at a gap and said to Jing Yuan, "you''re a burden holding me. Find a gap and put me down. You can show your skills."
Jing Yuan hid her behind a huge stone.
Sure enough, a group of officers and soldiers chased them into the mine. The dark guards in black fought and retreated with them. When they reached an open space, there were more and more officers and soldiers around. Jing Yuan and his party had been surrounded by them.
Suddenly I heard a shout, "stop! Stop it! "
A man in Royal jade robe stepped out, "sixth uncle, it''s you!"
"Birch, it''s you." Jing Yuan also laughed. He was obviously laughing, but the smile didn''t reach the bottom of his eyes. He swept around coldly. The soldiers around him dared not move under his authority.
Jing Hua said sadly, "uncle Liu, I received a message that a thief opened a mine in the dragon vein of the imperial mausoleum. Unexpectedly, it was uncle Liu. What are you mining Copper for? If you lose money and destroy the dragon vein where the king''s mausoleum is located. Uncle Liu, what do you think of you? " Copper can cast money and weapons, and destroy the dragon vein. Together, these piles are all crimes of conspiracy.
"Want to add a crime." Zhuo Xi muttered, but she looked at her bitterly. It turned out that what he said was too late was the pursuit of these officers and soldiers? If they set out on time, they would not encounter the encirclement and suppression of the government, would they? Jingyuan really came to this mountain to find her?
Nearby, a group of officers and soldiers are escorting a group of slaves. The children who went to Meng were also among them. They tied their hands in a string and staggered.
Jing Yuan said, "Hua Er, believe it or not, I will tell you that a few months ago, I mined here in accordance with the king''s Secret edict. I record all the mining conditions every month. I will report them to the king at the end of the month. I will never say anything about private mining. "
So the man in black that night was Jingyuan? Zhuo Xi intuitively knew him at that time. If he didn''t know her, didn''t he ask her who she was in the first sentence?
"Where is the secret edict?"
"It was the eunuch of the five rivers around the king who came to pass the secret edict."
"Then there is no evidence?"
"The overseers in the mine are all the Imperial troops in the king''s city, and the smelting craftsmen are all from the inner house. How can the king know what he has done?"
"These people need to be taken back to Beijing for interrogation before they can be used as evidence."
"The mining account books are secretly submitted to the cabinet on the 28th of each month and reported to the king, which can also be verified."
"Only the king knows this account."
A strong man led by the imperial army stepped forward with a knife and said, "three princes, since you have been ordered to capture the Marquis of Guang''an, what evidence do you need! If you catch it directly, there will be evidence. "
"Zuo Heng, don''t talk nonsense. Brother Wang always pays attention to conclusive evidence. Otherwise, how can you block the long public in this world?" Jing Hua scolded the Imperial Army called Zuo Heng. Seeing that he retreated bitterly, he turned to Jing Yuan and said, "uncle Liu, please follow Hua''er to see the king. The truth will be known. Hua''er believes that this must be a misunderstanding. How are you? "
Brother Wang“ Birch, can you tell me whose order you are serving? "
Jing Hua was silent for a moment. "Uncle Liu, no matter who asked me to come, you should follow me into the palace to meet the king. The truth is naturally clear."
Jing Yuan thought for a moment and sighed, "well, I will follow you into the palace to meet the king."
Jian Yi protected him, "Hou Ye! No! "
"Birch offended. Somebody! "
Jing Yuan took a step forward, stretched out his hand and was ready to catch him“ I can bet. Let the others go. When I see brother Wang, I will tell him clearly. "
Jianrong and several other dark guards also knelt down, "Lord Hou, please think twice."
"Needless to say, if you want your minister to die, your minister will have to die. Even if I die, I won''t be a disorderly subject and thief! "
Yuzhong, Yuzhong, Zhuo Xi sighed. She pulled Xiaobai out and asked, "Xiaobai, do you want me to save this immediate boss? Saving him may expose myself, and I can''t beat those officers and soldiers; If I don''t save him, will I be involved if he is copied and killed? "
Xiaobai thought on his side for a while, then lowered his head to sleep.
"Nod? That''s saving him? "
Zhuo Xi looked at the slave who was escorted by the officers and soldiers, and thought of Jian Yi''s eyes and made up her mind. Hiding behind the boulder, he took out a handful of hay from his arms and tried his best to hit the flint. The hay burned out thick smoke and blew down the wind to the middle of the open space.
Jing Yuan is stretching out his hands to let the left cross tie his hands. Jian Yi jumps in a hurry. Zuo Heng said slowly, "don''t worry, it''s your turn soon."
Then he looked up and saw those thin slaves fall first. He smelled the air and shouted, "no, the smoke is poisonous." The Imperial Army and the officers and soldiers he brought also fell one by one, and Jianyi also helped his forehead. The left cross held his breath and drew out a green sword, "who is it? Come out and shine. "
Zhuo Xi went out, "it''s me. I''m really sorry." The backhand threw a small bottle to Ziran.
"Who are you?" Jing Hua asked aloud.
"I''m the female historian of your sixth uncle''s family. Although I am stupid, I know at a glance that this is an obvious conspiracy. You royal family members can kill each other, but you can''t implicate our most lovely people. " It was not easy for a beauty to save a hero. Zhuo Xi was so proud that she forgot to drop her schoolbag.
Jianyi got the vial and was suspicious for a while. Seeing Jingyuan nodding, he tried to take one. He immediately looked excited and took one for Jingyuan and dark Wei.
"The most lovely person?" Jing Hua pulled at the corners of her mouth, supported her body and asked slowly.
"The industrious and kind-hearted people in the world are the most lovely people." She turned to Jianyi, "Jianyi, please give them the antidote."
"They? They are slaves. "
"What about slaves? Aren''t slaves human? Take them with you, or none of them will go! " Zhuo Xi said coldly.
Not only Jing Hua zuoheng, but also Jing Yuan and Zi Ran were stunned.
Jing Yuan said, "Miss Zhuo Xi, thank you for saving your life. But I can''t go. I''m going to meet brother Wang and explain the whole thing. "
"Explain? You think that explains it? Do you think the king and the world will believe your explanation? You can die with all your heart, but don''t you think about your subordinates who have followed you for decades? If you still want the people you care about and the people who care about you to live, you must live! "
Jingyuan''s whole body was shocked. Does he care about and care about his people? He knew that this might be a game and made some preparations. Unexpectedly, the king had expressed his suspicion naked, and there was no way out. Jian Yi whispered in his ear, "Hou ye, your mother imperial concubine..."
Jing Yuan waved sadly. Jianyi immediately gave the antidote to the slaves and untied their rope.
Jing Yuan said to Jing Hua, "Hua''er, go back and tell you that the mother''s coffin has stayed in Gelao for a long time. Now the father''s mausoleum has been completed. Ben Hou wants to meet the mother''s coffin first and come to be buried with his father, so that he can safely return to Beijing and apologize to the king."
Jing Hua didn''t fall down with one breath. He looked around at the fallen officers and soldiers and said, "uncle Liu, don''t think you can escape with the 250 Bai Hui army at the foot of the mountain. Zhao Tingzheng came from Wulin pass with 3000 Huang Hui army. You''d better catch it!"
The left cross was about to rush forward with the knife, but Jing Hua pretended to attack. Her foot was unstable. Her left arm hit the left cross''s Bronze knife. Zuo Heng exclaimed, hurriedly stopped the knife, held Jing Hua and shouted "three princes! Three princes! "
