Shuangyanque's clothing selection is no more diverse than that of Jinxing Restaurant.
After Xia Zhaoyi took a shower, she opened the wardrobe and started to study while touching her chin.
Speaking of which, she made a mistake in judgment last time.
She carefully wore a white dress that day, but Shen Lie was wearing a girdle.
So today, she also changed into black clothes?
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the dark clothes in the closet. Suddenly, she shook her head slightly.
Although I want to visually match Shen Lie more closely, it doesn't seem necessary or meaningful.
"Forget it." Xia Zhaoyi muttered and picked up a light yellow Su Rong embroidered shirt.
She didn't want to tidy up her hair anymore, so she wiped it back and forth with a dry cloth. Due to the summer, it dried quickly, just like during the day. She just put on a long ponytail and opened the door and went downstairs neatly.
The soldiers downstairs waited for a long time. When the girl came downstairs, he stood up and clasped his fists: "Second Miss, General Shen has returned! In the funeral palace, Li Hao and Li Ze surrendered, Li Hui and Li Xin hanged themselves, and Li Ye died in battle! The Ninth Prince Li Shou's whereabouts are unknown! Qian Xutian led his troops to pretend to surrender and suddenly counterattacked. General Wen Tianyinlang of the Yan army was unexpectedly injured and was seriously injured. A total of twenty-three people were killed in the Yan army, and thirty-five people in Qian Xutian's tribe were killed and injured. Captured alive."
Xia Zhaoyi said: "It seems that the siege of the funeral palace is really over."
"Well, the casualties on both sides are still being counted. There is no one in the funeral palace, but the Ninth Prince Li Shou has not been found."
"Li Shou," Zhan Ning said, "Second Miss, this name sounds familiar. Is he the prince who was in the Li family's cavalry and fought back and forth with Cao Yijun's attack camp in Huazhou?"
Xia Zhaoyi said: "It's him."
Zhan Ning said: "The whereabouts are unknown. He may be dead. Even if he is alive, he won't be able to make any waves."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Maybe I'll go find Li's cavalry."
"Speaking of which, the Li family's cavalry has not come to Hejing yet. It might as well be the Bi family's army."
"This is different."
Her mount had been fed. Xia Zhaoyi raised her hand and stroked the horse's neck, paused, and looked at Zhan Ning: "Are you sure the fireworks over at Zhufengfang are today?"
Zhan Ning smiled: "What the second lady said, even if you cancel it temporarily and set the fireworks to be set off tomorrow, this is still your right!"
At the same time, Shen Lie, dressed in white clothes and about to go out, was left behind.
Shi Guoxin said respectfully: "My second lady said that if General Shen wants to find her, just stay for a while and she will be there soon."
Shen Lie asked: "Where will Ah Li come from?"
"Royal Street."
It's quite close.
Shen Lie said: "I'm looking for her. If I go there, I can just meet her face to face."
Shi Guoxin looked a little uncomfortable: "But General Shen, our second lady asked me to keep you."
Shen Lie: "..."
If it were anyone else, Shen Lie could leave, but if it were Shi Guoxin...
There was no need for Shen Lie to step on Shi Guoxin's corpse just to go out this way...
"Okay." Shen Lie said.
The dusk has set, the stars are bright, the lights of thousands of houses are lit, and a wild cat meows, walking gracefully and lightly across the high roofs.
Suddenly there was a lot of movement outside the backyard alley. Ye Zheng ran to take a look and his eyes widened: "Ouch!"
He quickly turned around and ran back, shouting in a breathy voice: "Master, go and have a look! Hurry!"
Shen Lie followed curiously and was dumbfounded when he saw the scene outside.
Under the peach and bamboo garden lights outside the backyard, the old man and the old master Gu, who were said to have been missing for many days, looked like they had returned from digging coal. Their bodies were dark, and each of them was holding a thick hemp rope behind them. Behind the old man Followed by a group of six people, Sect Leader Gu was followed by a group of five people.
When they were approaching the backyard of the tea house in front of the lamp, the two elders turned their heads.
The old man's body was as thin and straight as a pole of bamboo. He nodded slightly to Shen Lie. By the way, he glanced at the white clothes on Shen Lie's body.
Old Sect Master Gu was much more amiable and grinned: "Good nephew!"
Because his face was so dark, his teeth were extremely white when he smiled, as if there were only one tooth left on his face.
Shen Lie said lightly: "I have met these two seniors."
As he spoke, his dark eyes looked at the group of people following them.
Everyone's nose was bruised and their face was swollen, and several people's hands seemed to be bent.
Seeing Shen Lie looking at him, Old Sect Master Gu said: "My nephew should be familiar with me. I heard that you had captured Uncle Dan and his party in Xucheng earlier."
Shen Lie remembered it and looked at the eleven people: "Are they accomplices?"
"Of course," Old Sect Leader Gu sighed, "it's a pity that that bastard Chong Menhui escaped."
"It's a pity," said the old man, "it just happened to lead the way for us."
"Huh?" The girl's crisp voice suddenly sounded at this moment, "There are so many people."
Xia Zhaoyi dismounted at the front door of Jinxing Restaurant, walked through the hall to the backyard, and bumped into the old man and Sect Master Gu who were returning.
Seeing the descriptions of the two of them, Xia Zhaoyi smiled, with clear eyes: "Master, is this a disguise lurking in the dark?"
The old man said quietly: "My disciple is smart."
Xia Zhaoyi looked at the two groups of people, looked at their shoes, then looked at their clothes, and said: "Chong Menhui is awesome. The people following him, no matter how tall, short, fat or thin, all have the same temperament."
"Are you going out?" The old man looked at her.
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Well, master, will you come with me?"
When Shen Lie heard this, he was startled and walked towards them pretending to be calm.
The old man said: "I won't go, I still have to take a bath."
"Come later then?"
"Where to go?"
"Zhan Ning will come later and let him tell you."
Elder Sect Master Gu said with a smile: "My dear nephew, can I go?"
"Of course you have to come with us!" Xia Zhaoyi smiled, raised her hand and pushed open the back door and came out.
When she looked up, she saw Shen Lie.
The dust and dust from his clothes have been removed, and his face is clean and clear. He is dressed in a moon-white light shirt that shows off his grace, which makes him look radiant, handsome, and refined from the worldly world.
Xia Zhaoyi walked over happily: "Shen Lie!"
Seeing her smile, Shen Lie felt extremely happy and smiled: "I was going to find you, but Shi Guoxin didn't allow it."
"It's my order. Don't blame him. I'm afraid we'll miss it. What if I go to the front yard and you go to the back alley."
Old Sect Master Gu looked at them happily, then looked at the old man happily, and whispered: "Youth is a good time, handsome men and beautiful women, it is really a beautiful scene."
The old man took a deep breath, shook his head, and said, "Let's go."
The two elders led two groups of people into the backyard of Jinxing Restaurant.
Ye Zheng pursed his lips and smiled, and suddenly said: "Young Master, the old sect leader Gu just said that you and Miss A Li are a handsome man and a beautiful woman!"
Shen Lie's face turned pale pink, he looked at Xia Zhaoyi, his dark eyes became serious, and he said softly: "Ah Li, you have always been extremely beautiful."
