Chapter 21

There was no one around, only the sound of the wind blowing the leaves, slowly echoing in the cold air.Xiao Ye Zi didn't want to stay any longer, she turned around to leave, suddenly there was bright light all around, and several steel knives were silently placed around her neck.It turned out that someone had already ambushed here, just waiting for Xiao Yezi to come.Hearing a chuckle, the two women slowly came out from the woods and walked in front of Xiao Ye Zi.The one in a yellow dress is cold and arrogant, and the other in a red dress with a smile is Xue Yue and Gao Yunrong.

Gao Yunrong smiled and opened her mouth first: "Little Yezi, hello."

Xiao Ye Zi smiled slightly: "Hello, Miss Gao. Hello, Miss Xue."

Gao Yunrong lightly raised her hand to brush her temples, and said leisurely, "You're not afraid. It's really rare."

Xiao Ye Zi chuckled: "What am I afraid of? I have no worries, unlike you."

Gao Yunrong chuckled lightly: "People say that barefoot people are not afraid of wearing shoes, and they are talking about you, Xiao Yezi. But I am skeptical about whether you are really fearless. I heard that there is a brother from the Li family who is The meat of your heart. These days, you don’t have to worry about not having shoes to wear, but it’s not good to have no meat to eat, right?”

Threatening me with Lili?Xiao Yezi's mind turned around quickly, and suddenly she smiled: "To die from being full or to die from starvation, isn't it both death? Talk if you have something to say, and fart if you have something to say. If you have a tune, you don't have to waste time."

Gao Yunrong didn't expect her to talk so much, her eyes were wide open, and her face was surprised: "Yo! Yo! Are you a woman? You speak so vulgarly. I don't know why Chief Xiao likes you, but he made an exception to promote you. Standard. It really opened our sister’s eyes.”

Xiao Yezi twitched her lips, and laughed: "It's too much of a prize. Maybe Chief Xiao got tired of listening to the goblin's elegant congratulations, and suddenly found that there are still people in the world who are unwilling to flatter the rich and powerful, but it's refreshing for him."

Gao Yunrong smiled and said: "You are so rude. How can I say that I am also your senior."

Xiao Ye Zi sneered coldly: "You send me down with a knife, my soul will return to the west, and the dead will be the greatest, so I will become your senior, why don't you respectfully call me Senior Xiao Ye Zi first, how about getting familiar with it? In case there is a time to talk about it, you Fengruiying don't look good."

Gao Yunrong took a steel knife, gave it away lightly, and said with a smile: "Nonsense, are you not afraid that I will give you a knife?"

Xiao Ye Zi only felt that the coldness on her neck was getting stronger, and she felt a faint pain.But she is such a tempered person, the more threatened she is, the more she refuses to admit defeat, the more she wants to fight with others, immediately rolled her eyes, and smiled brightly: "You just do it! Let's see that Chief Xiao likes you more , or like me more."

Gao Yunrong was taken aback for a moment: "What does it matter?"

Xiao Yezi shrugged, looked sideways at Gao Yunrong, and said: "You are still a valet, but you have such a brain. The candidates for valet are all ladies, and all of them are strong. I am a mountain girl, how can I have so many resources?" Can you compete for status with you? It's a pity that it's such a coincidence that I, who is looked down upon by you, was selected as a servant, and I was appointed to serve the Lord Xiao's food and daily life. Smart servant Gao, you say, this is why?"

Gao Yunrong twitched the corner of her mouth and raised her eyebrows: "Even if Chief Xiao likes you again, so what. He is not here now. I killed you without anyone knowing, and who would know?"

Xiao Yezi smiled, pursed her mouth, and glanced at Xue Yue: "You can kill me without anyone noticing it. But she may not be sure."

Xue Yue has been observing from the sidelines, and finally said at this moment: "The grievances between the two of you have nothing to do with me."

"I'm afraid that if you want to be alone, Ms. Gao will not agree. Otherwise, why would she drag you along?" Xiao Yezi smiled sweetly, "You said it has nothing to do with you, I don't think so. Quan Tianwang Help, who doesn't rumor that I am Yang Yizhao's new lover? You are his fiancée, and you are also a newly promoted valet with me. Even if you don't admit to such a complicated and conflicting relationship, others will think that the two of us must be tit for tat. Maybe I'm still going to die. I'm a newcomer, and I have no grievances or enmities with others, and I only have some grievances with you. If you let Gao Yunrong kill me today, you will be the first person in the gang to suspect. Miss Xue, You'd better wipe your beautiful eyes and see clearly. Miss Gao next to you, she calls her sister and sister very happily, I don't know if she really treats you as a sister in her heart ? We all know how to recite the Ten Commandments of the Heavenly King Gang, but we don’t know which one of the Ten Commandments counts as a scapegoat?”

Xue Yue cast a glance at Gao Yunrong, and said coldly: "Smart words, sweet words. Hmph!" Gao Yunrong's face turned cold, and she said with a smile: "You are quite good at talking. No wonder you can confuse men."

Xiao Yezi smiled like a flower: "Didn't you say that I confuse men? Although I didn't dedicate myself to the position, but to get such a high evaluation, I have to have some skills to be worthy of your praise. I have no money or talent, but I still have someone A brain that has been growing for more than ten years. Do you think that I was so stupid as to not leave any clues after chasing here? You really underestimate me. My martial arts are low, and I have left a lot of footprints all the way. If someone is looking for me, they will be able to follow me to this point. What's more, I have already sprinkled marks along the way, I am afraid that Gangzhu Xiao has come to find me along the way."

Gao Yunrong stopped smiling, stretched out her hand to search Xiao Yezi, and immediately found the tea in her purse.Gao Yunrong's face turned pale, and he threw the tea leaves on the ground angrily.Xiao Ye Zi giggled, "Hurry up and let me go so as not to embarrass me when I face Chief Xiao."

Before the words fell, Lingxiao's voice came from a distance: "Sister Xiaoyezi? Sister Xiaoyezi?"

Xiao Ye Zi stared at Gao Yunrong's eyes, smiled lightly, and suddenly raised her voice and shouted: "Here!"

Gao Yunrong gritted her teeth bitterly, and with a wave of her hand, removed all the steel knives.As soon as the retreat was over, Xiao Yunxi and Lingxiao's group appeared in Xiao Yezi's sight.

Yun Xi's face was cold, unable to see what was in his heart.Gao Yunrong, Xue Yue and the others hurried forward to pay respects: "See the leader!"

I only heard Yun Xi say: "The night is getting dark, what are you guys doing here?"

When Gao Yunrong was thinking about how to answer, Xiao Yezi smiled and said: "Report to the leader, the two elder sisters are testing me."

Yun Xi seemed quite surprised by this answer, Yixuan raised eyebrows: "Testing you?"

Xiao Ye Zi walked up to Yunxi, leaned over to salute, and said with confidence: "Little Ye Zi joined the Heavenly King Gang for a relatively short period of time. Although she was fortunate enough to be favored by the leader, sister Yun Rong and sister Xue Yue, as close servants, had to be strict. Consider Xiao Yezi's various abilities to see if he can really share the worries of the leader. The first and most important thing is, of course, whether he is loyal or not. Sister Yun Rong and Sister Xue Yue set up this heavy exam just now..." She dismissed those The guard with the knife glanced at him and said with a smile, "It's just to test Xiao Yezi, to see if I can be loyal to the leader wholeheartedly."

Yunxi pulled the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Oh? Did you pass the exam?"

Gao Yunrong hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Of course it passed. Sister Xiao Yezi was personally selected by the leader, so how can she let the leader down?"

Yunxi smiled, and his emotions could not be seen in the smile: "That's good. You have worked hard too. Take a rest earlier. Little Yezi, come with me." After speaking, Yunxi turned around and walked slowly along the way. Going back, Lingxiao and others hurriedly followed.

Xiao Ye Zi turned her head and glanced at Gao Yunrong and Xue Yue, not daring to stay for long, and ran after Yun Xi.She followed Yunxi all the way to Zhao Yuanxuan where he lived.Just now Yun Xi arrived in time, Xiao Ye Zi was very grateful and relaxed a little.After entering the house, she looked around, and everything was the same, except that on the wall behind Yunxi, there was an extra calligraphy scroll, with a silkworm head and wild goose tail in the style of handwriting, revealing a kind of classical stability.There is no signature on the scroll, but a seal that says "Yunying Xijing" is stamped on it.Presumably it was Yun Xi's own work.

While admiring it, Yun Xi retreated the water chestnut, leaving only Xiao Yezi to be with her.When Xiao Ye Zi noticed it, Ling Xiao had already closed the door and left.Once the two of them were alone for a while, she unnaturally became nervous again.Thinking about the self-performance before "The Hero Saves the Beauty" just now, Xiao Yezi was even more overwhelmed.

In fact, when she faced Xue Yue and Gao Yunrong just now, although she played her tongue smoothly, she mostly made up sophistry, especially about leaving tea leaves as clues.At that time, she was busy chasing after her, so there were footprints, but the tea leaves were really nonsense.As for Chief Xiao's coming to her, it was also her plan to delay the attack.If he disappeared, Lingxiao would definitely look for him, but Yunxi might not.But in the face of Gao Yunrong and his ilk, if we move out of Lingxiao alone, I'm afraid it won't be enough.Anyway, it seems that Lingxiao is Yunxi's confidant, and Lingxiao came to look for it, it doesn't mean that Yunxi came to look for it, and it is not a lie.Unexpectedly, Yunxi really found it by herself, which was a big surprise.But I used him as a shield so loudly just now, I don't know if he heard it.If I heard it, I was really embarrassed, and I had to think about how to explain it.

I saw Yun Xi slowly sitting in front of the desk, smiling softly: "Pour me a cup of tea, please?"

Seeing that he didn't ask, Xiao Yezi couldn't help but slap her face to explain herself, so she pretended to smile sweetly: "Okay." She turned to make tea, still choosing the most common kind of tea.Yun Xi watched her making tea with a smile. After a long time, she suddenly asked, "Why don't you choose such good tea as Biluochun Longjing, but make me ordinary tea like this?"

This is a question about Xiao Yezi, how can I answer this?Don't you want to honestly say that you still need time to make a good tea and don't want to be too timid?This is the leader of the gang, so it must be the rhythm of death.If you answer "I saw you put this kind of tea in the place of retreat last time", you will be suspected of trying to build a relationship. If he didn't put the tea, wouldn't you bump into the tofu?Fortunately, her back is facing Yunxi now, and Yunxi can't see the change on her face, so she pretended to be calm and said: "The leader always drinks good tea, and occasionally changes it. I think if it is the leader, maybe he can drink tea." How about a different taste?"

As soon as this sentence came out, with the cunning and boldness of a fledgling sword walking sideways, it accidentally made Yun Xi laugh.Only then did Yunxi really smile: "They say you have a sweet mouth, and it's true." He smiled and took the tea that Xiao Yezi handed over, took a sip, and said with a smile: "Even this tea has become sweeter, it seems that who The brewed tea is like who."

Little Ye Zi didn't take any credit for it, and smiled naively: "The guild master is overwhelmed."

Yun Xi took another sip, put down the teacup, and asked casually, seemingly intentionally or not, "Are you happy tonight?"

Xiao Ye Zi didn't dare to take him as unintentional, she rolled her eyes, thinking, this is finally getting to the point, she pretended to be stupid, pouted her lips, and said with a smile: "Boss, it's not like you arranged this outing." Are you trying to test me on purpose? Xiao Yezi has no second thoughts about you."

Yun Xi smiled: "You are so smart, I don't have to try, and you won't have it either."

Seeing that he was in a good mood, Xiao Ye Zi immediately stepped down from the donkey: "It's still the boss who has insight into the details."

Yunxi stared into her eyes, and smiled: "You don't need to call me the leader of the gang, you call me the leader in front of people, and you still call me Yunxi in the queen."

Xiao Ye Zi giggled, seeing that Yun Xi's expression didn't look like a test, since he made a request, she was willing to obey: "Okay." But she knew that it would be impossible to call him Yun Xi directly in the future, so she didn't want to call him Yun Xi. Don't call him by name.At that moment, she started another topic: "I want to ask, how did you find me?"

Yun Xi smiled: "Your lightness skills are too poor, but your reasoning skills are not bad. It's too easy to find your trail. But I don't see tea or anything on the road. Your adaptability is really good."

Xiao Ye Zi was praised by Yun Xi, feeling a little shy in her heart, she just smiled lightly: "No matter how I adapt, I'm just playing tricks on them, how can I hide it from you?"

Yun Xi smiled, his eyes suddenly deep, but his tone was light: "Then Yang Yizhao's new lover, is it true?"

Xiao Yezi pouted, turned her head, waved her hands, and said without thinking at all: "I told you earlier, Yang Yizhao is not my type at all. Believe it or not."

Yunxi just stood up with a gentle smile: "I'm just kidding you. You did a good job today, I'll reward you." He turned around and took a flat book box from the shelf, and handed it to her: "I Your preferences are all written in it, so that you don’t have to think hard about guessing in the future. After today’s trouble, go back and rest quickly. ——By the way, I’ve arranged for Lingxiao to pick up your luggage at Liren Pavilion. Don’t worry That's right."

Xiao Ye Zi smiled and saluted: "Xiao Ye Zi bid farewell." After speaking, she left the room and went back to the residence with the book box in her hand.

She didn't enter the door, but hid in a corner outside the residence, secretly opening the box.Inside the box is a thin notebook, the handwriting seems to be in the same style as the calligraphy works on Yunxi's wall.She flipped through a few pages, all of which were records of personal preferences.Could it be that this is a memo that Yunxi specially prepared for himself?Tell yourself everything in this way—his preferences, his concerns, his life.

While feeling moved, Xiao Ye Zi discovered that there was a sandwich in the book box.Pulling out the hairpin, prying open the interlayer, a string of cool things slid along the box into her skirt.She hurriedly reached out to take out the string, and she could see clearly under the starlight that it was a string of bracelets. Eighteen white jade round beads shone brightly, each of them was translucent and pure, with a faint white halo flowing in the dark, it was extraordinary beautiful .She felt a little familiar, looking at the style of the bracelet, it seemed to be the one she gave to the maid in the morning.How could this bracelet be here with Yunxi?Could it be...he sent it in the first place?This hand bracelet doesn't look beautiful during the day, but it has its own brilliance at night. Is this the luminous pearl mentioned in the play?

Yun Xi also prepared such a surprise for herself, how could Nian Ji not be happy?But in a flash, she thought of Li Li and Du Juaner, and her heart sank again.

She held the ledger and the white jade bracelet tightly in her hands, knowing that today's test was finally passed.With Yunxi's favor, he can temporarily have a place in Shanglingyan.

She looked at the dark sky outside the wall, feeling melancholy.In the past, in order to live, we needed to have both ways, but now we still have to rely on our strengths to survive.Concubine Nian Village or Tianwang Gang, what is the difference to her?Thinking of this, the fun of the surprise just now became insignificant.Yunxi is not Gao Daling, but Yunxi is far better than Gao Daling.This kind of entangled and complicated mood, at this moment, I am afraid that she is the only one who knows.
