Destroyed outside, gold and jade inside

Chapter 271
Fang Yan was silent for a moment, "If the hidden guard was not injured today, would you still not plan to let me know?"

Shen Xinniang sighed softly, but did not speak.

Fang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "How could Yu Miao do such a thing, such a threat? I thought highly of him at the beginning, thinking that the northwest sky is high and the earth is wide, and his temperament will not be like Uncle Yu's." .”

After finishing speaking, Fang Yan shook his head slightly disappointed.

Shen Xinniang picked up the note rolled up on the table, "It shouldn't be Yu Miao's own idea."

Fang Yan took the note and slowly unfolded it.

It was a note handed to the door when Mrs. Gongsun was there, writing that if Shilipo brought someone back again, Shen Siniang's right thumb would be cut off.

Shen Xinniang's heart was a little stagnant, she was afraid that if she waited for a while, a bloody thumb would really be sent to her face.She didn't want anyone to be hurt because of her, and she didn't want her fourth mother, who had always relied on her, to lose a finger because of her.

Shen Xinniang's expressionless face hides a lot of worry and anxiety.

Fang Yan raised his head from the note and looked at her a little puzzled.

"If it was Yu Miao's idea, how would he, a general who came back from the northwest, know that Siniang's embroidery is exquisite? How could he threaten with a thumb instead of anything else?" Shen Xinniang said slowly, "I thought, Someone who is so careful and understands Siniang should be someone else."

Fang Yan frowned slightly.

"Besides, when we met, he could have attacked immediately, but he didn't, and he didn't bring Shen Siniang directly to threaten him. If he put the knife on Shen Siniang's neck, no matter how powerful I bring, I will definitely be bound. , very scrupulous." Shen Xinniang said again, "Yu Miao is a bit strange."

Fang Yan nodded slowly, "What did you think of?"

Shen Xinniang opened her mouth slowly, "It's just a guess, or it may be far-fetched. I'm not sure. But now, Gongsun Lan has also fallen into Yu Miao's hands. I went to the Gongsun Mansion to look for it. General Gongsun, he is not in the capital."

Fang Yan also frowned, "Gongsun Lan is in Yu Miao's hands, it is really a great disadvantage. Gongsun Ling treats his sister very dearly. If Gongsun Lan is used as a threat, Gongsun Ling will be confused. If Gongsun Lan is rescued, she must be fully prepared. Yu Miao's six thousand elite cavalry are not to be feared, but the Shence Army in the Fengyukou camp is a big threat. It is close to the capital, and if the Yu family intends to rebel..."

Fang Yan closed his mouth, frowned, and did not continue.

The Shence Army was stationed at Fengyukou, dozens of miles away from the capital, in order to keep the capital safe.If the Shence Army rebelled, the capital would be in danger.

Gongsun Ling is a person trusted by the late emperor. Now that the late emperor is gone, will his heart and loyalty change?

The main room fell into silence again. Shen Xiniang and Fang Yan each lowered their eyes to think, and the atmosphere became more and more dignified.

Suddenly a little maid came outside and said: "My master knows, the lady of Gongsun's family is asking to see me."

"Who?" Jin Xiang couldn't help but widen her eyes when she heard the words. She saw Gongsun Lan rushing towards the hillside and being taken away with her own eyes.

"Yes, the lady of Gongsun's family." The little maid replied.

Shen Xinniang raised her head, "Come in, please."

Gongsun Lan bent over out of breath, she had already changed her clothes, and there was no sign of injury on her face.

Shen Xinniang stood up and said, "He really didn't detain you."

Gongsun Lan was slightly taken aback, "Huh? Sure enough?"

"Since you came back safely, it means that it was not his intention to make threats like that." Shen Xinniang murmured, her eyes narrowed slightly.

"I was just about to talk to Xinniang about this." Gongsun Lan said to Qi Wangfu, and hurriedly said, "I was blindfolded before I got into the carriage, but I still caught a glimpse of the people in the carriage. The head is not Si Niangzi!"

Hearing this, Jin Xiang and Dan Xin took a deep breath, if the lady rushed forward desperately, not only would she not be able to save the fourth lady, she might not be able to come back at this time, right?

"However, she is a little lady who is somewhat similar in stature to Fourth Lady, and I can't see her eyes clearly." Gongsun Lan said anxiously, "I don't know where Fourth Lady is. I haven't seen Fourth Lady from the beginning to the end!"

Shen Xinniang nodded, with a look of determination in her eyes.

"Si Niangzi is in danger, why didn't Xinniang tell me? She still keeps it from me? When did she fall into Yu Miao's hands? Yu Miao is really sick! Si Niangzi is such a delicate little lady." He can be so ruthless! I have told him that I am willing to change Si Niangzi back, but he refuses to agree! He still wants to throw me back!" Gongsun Lan said with pouting.

Fang Yan helplessly supported his forehead, "Is it better for you to stay than Shen Siniang? Don't you know that your brother will worry about you more?"

"Brother won't do stupid things. I lied to him and said that I can threaten my brother. In fact, my brother is loyal to the Holy One. I know that even if I die, my brother will avenge me at any cost! But he will not Will betray my own beliefs, will not betray the monarch, will not violate my loyalty!" Gongsun Lan said affirmatively and took it for granted, "I am not afraid of his threats, but Fourth Lady is weak. If you can exchange me for Fourth Lady, there is Why not? He couldn't explain it!"

Everyone didn't know whether to be moved by Gongsun Lan's loyalty, or to be moved by Yu Miao's unreasonableness.

Shen Xinniang narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "If you want to save Si Niang, maybe there is a way to take her down."

"Who?" Gongsun Lan asked immediately.

Shen Xinniang slowly raised her head, looked out, and said a name gently in her mouth.

Fang Yan immediately sent someone to Shen's house, but only after arriving at Shen's house did he find out that Shen Wuniang was not at home at all.

Before Shen Wuniang's carriage approached the alley of Shen's house, she saw the boy beside her father standing at the entrance of the alley, looking around anxiously.The little maid beside Shen Wuniang lifted the curtain of the carriage and coughed softly.

The young man hurriedly looked at the carriage, stared at the carriage and hurriedly made several hand gestures, then turned around and left immediately after finishing the gestures.

"Go," Shen Wuniang in the carriage said hastily, "I'm not going home."

The little maid was startled, "Then where shall we go now?"

"Get out of the city!" Shen Wuniang ordered.

The carriage didn't even stop, it immediately turned the horse's head and galloped out of the city.

The people who were waiting at Shen's house did not wait for Shen Wuniang to return home until evening.

Shen Wuniang, who returned to the humble Zhuangzi outside the city, breathed a long sigh of relief, and the servant girl beside her said with emotion: "My lady usually arranges so many jewelry, it is really not useless. If it hadn't been for the little servant to remind me, my lady is now I'm afraid I won't be able to get out."

Shen Wuniang nodded, "If you can't bear the small profit in front of you, you can't achieve your ultimate goal."

"What is the ultimate goal of the lady?" the little maid asked.

When Shen Wuniang heard the words, she looked sideways at the servant girl with deep eyes, and the servant girl was startled when she saw it, "Madam, did the servant girl say something wrong?"

Shen Wuniang closed her eyes, "Don't ask this question in the future."

The servant girl nodded quickly, "The servant girl has made a note."

Shen Wuniang stepped up and walked to the wing room in the village, but she heard voices still in the main courtyard, she couldn't help but stop, listened carefully, and asked for a moment: "General Yu, haven't you returned to the city?"

The servant girl shook her head, "My servant girl, go and inquire now!"

Shen Wuniang nodded, looked up at the courtyard, tightened the cloak on her shoulders, and walked away.

"If the general doesn't go back to the mansion, the elder will definitely ask." The attendant said softly beside Yu Miao.

Yu Miao looked impatient, "I know."

"If the elder knows that the general has already captured the young lady of Gongsun's family and released her back, the elder will definitely be angry with the general." The attendant looked at Yu Miao's face and said hesitantly.

Yu Miao waved her hand, "You step back first, let me rest for a while, if you don't want to go back, you just don't want to hear about it, so you still bring it up."

Hearing the words, the entourage stopped talking, took a sip, bowed and retreated.

There was wind outside the window, lightly passing over the treetops, and the leaves fluttered down, making the night even more quiet and quiet.It didn't have the hustle and bustle of the night in the capital, but it did have the air of a military camp.

When he comes back this time, can he go back to the northwest?Yu Miao gently closed her eyes, feeling a little uncertain for the first time.It was a feeling he had never felt before.

Suddenly there were slight footsteps at the door.Yu Miao's ears moved slightly, her eyes were still closed, she didn't look sideways, and she didn't open her eyes to look at the door.

It seemed that no one was guarding the outside, but when the slight footsteps approached the door, someone suddenly appeared from nowhere and blocked the door, "The general has no call, why are you here?"

After a moment of silence outside, a soft and soft voice cleared his throat and said, "The general has worked hard for days, and has stewed some nourishing soup for the general to use."

In the room, Yu Miao, who was lying on her back on the Hu bed, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a cold and sarcastic smile.

"Wait!" The outsider said.

Then there was a light knock on the door, "General..."

Yu Miao lay quietly on her back without opening her mouth.

"General Yu, today is my daughter's slip of the tongue, and I'm here to make amends. I hope the general will be happy. If the general refuses to forgive my daughter, my daughter will be really troubled." The soft voice outside was full of sincerity, "There are so many generals, I hope you can do it." Comparing with the little girl."

Yu Miao sneered, "Let her in."

The person guarding the door stepped back, gently pushed the door open with one clean white hand, and walked in steadily with a lacquer tray in the other.

Yu Miao lay on the bed without moving, nor did she turn her head to look.

The thin white hand closed the door behind him again, and soft footsteps came towards the bed.Stopping two or three steps away from the bed, the fragrant and greasy smell of the soup wafted over.

"General Yu..." the woman spoke slowly.

"Shen Wuniang," Yu Miao said coldly, curling the corners of her mouth, "put away your little thoughts, I'm not interested in your thoughts."

Shen Wuniang, who was holding a lacquer plate, froze for a moment, took a deep breath, and then said with a smile: "Wu Niang didn't have any thoughts, she made soup for the general, seeing the general getting angry because of his uncle Guo's illness." , Wu Niang still contradicts the general today, she really feels that her behavior is inappropriate, and I hope the general will forgive me."

"Leave it alone." Yu Miao said lightly.

Shen Wuniang turned around and put the lacquer plate on the side table, but she didn't leave, but took another step closer to the bed, looking at Yu Miao who was lying on the bed with her eyes downcast.

Tight muscles, smooth lines, and a solid and powerful chest rising and falling steadily.Shen Wuniang clasped her hands and looked at the person in front of her. Her palms were slightly sweaty.But biting his lower lip tightly, he took another step closer.

At this time, the person on the bed suddenly opened his eyes, raised his eyebrows and looked at Shen Wuniang who was only half a step away from the bed.

In Shen Wuniang's chest, her heart was beating rumblingly, as if it overshadowed all the sounds, and the sweat in her palms was sticky, revealing nervousness and vague anticipation.

"What are you doing?" Yu Miao said suddenly with a frivolous smile.
