Fortunately met when I was not married

Chapter 24 Raid

Chapter 22 The Raid

In the afternoon of the next day, Shao Pei called Si Tian and Lin Xiyan to Xiulu alone.

Overnight, he had recovered his former calmness and elegance, as if the "accident" yesterday had never happened.However, there was one palace lantern missing in the room, and the bonsai was also moved to the window sill.

When the two of them saw him, they felt a little uneasy. Although he ordered the poisoning, they still felt uneasy in their hearts after they did what they did. They didn't know what his intentions were.

He didn't mention what happened yesterday, he just picked up a few banknotes from the table and handed them to the two respectively.

Si Tian took the bank note, his fingers couldn't help shaking slightly, as if all this was not true.She is not a greedy person, she has been poor for more than a year, and she is used to a frugal life.The sudden appearance of such a large amount of wealth made her a little bit at a loss, although she had been looking forward to it for a long time.She wanted to buy a small courtyard when she was rich, so that her mother could take care of her old age.Now this wish can finally come true.Mother doesn't have to depend on others anymore, she can't wait to go down the mountain and pick her mother up from Aunt Yang's house immediately.

Lin Xiyan was also overjoyed.With this money, she can also avenge her parents.She herself is not good at martial arts, but there is still the profession of killer in this world, and with money, things will be easier to handle.

Shao Pei looked at the happy expressions on the faces of the two girls, and said calmly: "From now on, even if you are the Suzaku of Qishimen, you must obey my arrangements in everything. The northern border is a bit unstable. This autumn, the emperor wants to add Enke Let's start the martial arts exam. Xiyan, you and Qi Yang will accompany Shang Yu to Dongdu to take the exam, and you must follow Shang Yu's arrangements for everything."

Lin Xiyan pursed her lips and nodded.She was looking the happiest she had been in months.

Shao Pei looked at Si Tian again, and said: "In a few days, you and Su Pian will go to Anqing Prince's Mansion, and stay by his side, and follow the prince's orders in everything. If you have anything to discuss with Su Pian."

Her heart skipped a beat!Actually, to accompany him by his side.She blushed, thinking of that night in Linjiang Palace.Will it be like this often in the future?Her heart began to fluctuate again.

After Shao Pei ordered, he quietly added: "Three years is actually very short, with the snap of your fingers, there is no rush." ​​He seemed to be comforting the two of them, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

Back in the Suzaku Courtyard, she sat there in a daze, suddenly rich, but still a little uncomfortable.She smiled, put away the silver ticket, and went down the mountain to see her mother.

Xi Ran was startled when he saw so many banknotes.After hurriedly asking about the origin of the money, Si Tian explained Qishimen's request.Xi Ran became uneasy, and quickly asked: "Is it dangerous for you to follow King Anqing? We are on the way to Shangjing, but someone wants to rob and kill him."

There was a hint of worry in her heart, but she pretended not to care, and said with a smile: "Mother, he has so many guards, what will happen. Didn't he also save the day last time?"

"Tian'er, you'd better return the silver and leave the Qishi Gate."

Si Tian was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Mother, how can you go back on your word? Besides, the prince has a kindness to us. Even if we don't have this money, we should serve him by his side. Even if I repay his kindness."

Xi Ran is speechless, this is the result of her usual teaching, and it is the duty of a human being to know how to repay her kindness.She can only secretly pray that her daughter is safe and sound in the palace.

It was dusk when she returned to Qishimen, and she was sweating all over the steps, so she took her clothes to take a shower.Walking to the lotus courtyard, I met Shang Yu head-on.

It was late autumn, but he was still wearing thin clothes.He had just taken a bath, and there was a refreshing smell on his body, like the autumn sky with high sky and light clouds.

"Eldest brother." Facing a young man who had just bathed, she was inevitably a little embarrassed, so she greeted in a low voice and stepped aside.

He looked at her softly, and smiled slightly: "Wait a minute, I'll take you somewhere."

"Where?"

"You go in first, you will know later."

She smiled embarrassedly and went into the bathroom.After taking off his clothes, he felt a little uncomfortable when he thought that he was waiting outside. After hastily washing, he braided his hair and came out.

Sure enough, he was waiting at the door, standing by the lotus pond with his back on his back.The remnant lotus is scattered and haggard, but he is as majestic as the morning sun.

"Let's go." Hearing footsteps, he raised his eyebrows at her and left first.

She had to follow behind him, not knowing where he was taking her.He walked through the corridor next to the armory, as if he was walking the path of Shengxia Terrace.

He walked on her left side, deliberately getting closer to her, and she really grew taller.I remember that when I first met her, she only reached his chest, and when she raised her toes, she only kissed his neck, which made him itchy and wanted to hide.That fluffy and soft feeling has become more and more clear recently, so clear that I want to relive and deepen it.

Now, she had grown to his shoulders, and her figure became more and more graceful.Like a beautiful weeping willow, the spring breeze urges the branches to bloom, and gradually becomes the charming willow smoke, which surrounds people's sight.

He felt that waiting and guarding had a taste of time and tranquility.

She felt that he was walking a little closer to her, so she gave way to the side of the path, but before she knew it, he was getting closer again.She gave way two more steps, and he "approached" two more steps.Gradually, she was about to have nowhere to go, and her face couldn't help but feel a little hot.Doesn't he find it crowded?The road on his side is obviously wide.

The two walked to the stream in the bamboo forest. Si Tian was very familiar with this place, because he used to let her come here to fetch water every day, which was extremely miserable.I don't know what he brought her here for, to revisit the old place?Unfortunately, the memory is not very good.

After entering the bamboo forest, after a short walk, there was a bamboo house built on an open field. There was a small vegetable garden beside the bamboo house, and chrysanthemums were planted around the fence.It is the season of westerly wind and thin yellow flowers. The autumn chrysanthemums in full bloom render the bamboo forest and bamboo house and the distant mountains into the artistic conception of "picking chrysanthemums under the eastern fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely", which makes people suddenly intoxicated.

Seeing her surprised and liking look, he smiled, stood by the fence and called out: "Uncle Qi."

The door opened with a creak, and an old man stood by the door.Si Tian was startled, it was the old man she met when she was carrying water that time.

He was taken aback when he saw her, and then smiled at Shang Yu, "Is it your junior sister?"

Shang Yu nodded and pulled her into the room.

The room is clean and elegant, full of poetry and calligraphy.

"Seventh Uncle, I'm going down the mountain to the Eastern Capital tomorrow. There will be a martial arts competition this autumn, so don't miss this opportunity."

Uncle Qi was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly said: "Good! Good! It really is a good opportunity."

Shang Yu nodded with a smile, glanced at Si Tian, ​​and said to Uncle Qi, "Her name is Si Tian, ​​and it's me, Junior Sister."

When the words "Little Martial Sister" escaped from his lips, his voice was involuntarily soft. I don't know why, but when I read these three words, my heart feels soft and affectionate.

Uncle Qi smiled and said, "I've seen it before."

"have you seen?"

"Yeah, you kid is bullying others. I just happened to see you."

Shang Yu's expression was a little unnatural, and he took a couple of sips of tea pretendingly.Actually, I was a little uneasy, although he was doing it for her own good, but that way, I don't know if he left a bad impression in her heart.

He felt that the purpose of this trip had been achieved, so he stood up and said goodbye: "Uncle Qi, we are going back first. I will come back when I return from Dongdu."

"Okay, I'll wait for your newsletter."

He tugged on her sleeve and walked out.

She was a little baffled, she was dragged here by him, and pulled out again without saying anything.It seemed that she was brought here just to let the old man take a look.

After walking out of the bamboo forest, he stopped, looked at the bamboo house behind him and said, "He is my seventh uncle. I'm leaving. If you need anything, you can come to him."

"I have nothing to do." It's strange, what can she do?And this is his seventh uncle, not hers.Even if there is something, it is not appropriate to bother the old man.

He lowered his eyebrows and looked at the doubts on her face, trying to explain what he meant, but felt that it was not yet time.One could tell from her ignorant look that she didn't think much about it at all, and it was even more impossible for her to think about it.He had no choice but to find an excuse: "What if there is no money to use?"

It's really that pot that doesn't open and lift that pot.She said unhappily; "I'm rich now. 1000 taels of silver, I can't spend it all in my lifetime, hmph."

He pursed his mouth in disdain: "Money fan, a small amount of money is all you need to do this. Is it arrogant to have a thousand silver?"

"En." She stood up on purpose, and with 1000 taels of silver, her back became much stiffer.

He glanced down at her.She straightened her back, but her chest seemed to be a little more beautiful.His heart moved, and he hurriedly staggered his eyes.

Back at Suzaku Yard, Lin Xiyan was packing her luggage.She looked rather happy, and greeted Si Tian when she saw Si Tian.

That night, Shao Pei called everyone to Xiulu to bid farewell to Lin Xiyan, Shang Yu and Qi Yang.

Shao Pei poured wine for Shang Yu very carefully. When he picked up the wine glass, his eyes were locked on Shang Yu's face, as if he was considering his words, and he said after a while: "I watched you grow up and know you very well, so This farewell wine is actually a congratulatory wine. You should be the top three in the martial arts exam. If you want to make a big splash here, or temporarily hide your edge, we will wait and see how the situation evolves before listening to the prince's arrangement."

Shang Yu smiled slightly: "He is very patient, and so am I. Master, don't worry."

Shao Pei nodded: "I am very relieved of you."

He turned his head and said to Lin Xiyan: "Don't worry about your parents. After Shang Yu's fame is settled, I will let you fulfill this wish. It is human nature to avenge your parents and children. But When you were in Dongdu, you must not leave Shang Yu's side, and the overall situation is the most important thing. I know that your father's enemy is from Dongdu. Let me remind you, even if you see your enemy standing in front of you, you must be patient. do you know?"

Lin Xiyan glanced at Shang Yu, lowered her eyes, and nodded.

After the banquet, Shang Yu suddenly stopped Si Tian at the screen wall.

Su Pian smiled ambiguously, and led Lin Xiyan away first.Lin Xiyan took two steps and couldn't help but look back.There is a lantern in front of the screen wall, which dimly illuminates the two people, as if they are in a painting.She felt a little awkward, he always treats her more special.

Si Tian asked, "Is there something wrong, big brother?"

"I'm leaving tomorrow." He said such a sentence, and I won't say anything below.She was very surprised, of course she knew that he was leaving tomorrow, so the master bid farewell to him.and then?

He waited for a long time, hoping that she would say something he wanted to hear, but unfortunately, she was a wooden person.

He cleared his throat and prompted, "You don't have anything to say?"

She reacted quickly and said with a smile: "Ah, I wish you a smooth journey, senior brother." Although she had a sincere and gentle face, it's a pity that these words were not salty or bland, and they were far away from what he wanted to hear.

He got a headache from disappointment.Actually, I didn't drink much.But he just felt irritable, and when he thought about it, he would not see him for a while, feeling inexplicably depressed.

He wanted to take advantage of his drunkenness to do something, to test her reaction.If she still doesn't get the hang of it, then he will use the excuse that he drank too much and stay put.

He looked at her pretty face, gave a grace, and said seriously: "Well, last time, you took advantage of me, and I want to get it back today."

Before she realized what he was talking about, he had already kissed her hard on the face.

She was so frightened that she froze!It just started to burn hot on the face.This kind of raid is simply without prelude, unreasonable, and unreasonable.
