The Jinjiang River flows forward, and what kind of undercurrents are surging under the calm and soothing river surface. Standing beside the river embankment, you deeply breathe in the familiar smell of water. The water plants float away, and the plants that have lost their lives just follow the waves and are crushed to pieces.
Drive away.
Looking back, the steaming steamed buns and soy milk on the roadside dimmed the round face of the hawker. He was busy, but despite being poor, the bowl of hot tea served by his wife made his heart warm and at ease, because he felt that he was needed.
And what about me? Who needs Liu Zipei, who would miss my helpless wandering soul.
The sun is shining brightly in the prosperous imperial city, and the river breeze of Jinjiang River can't help but feel lonely in my heart. This is my world alone, a big sun, a clean blue sky, a heart, a road, an empty city that can be drowned by a drop of tears...
…
I ran around every corner of the imperial city with the token given by my second brother, but there was little news. Familiar streets, unfamiliar faces, every bit of the past was still vivid in my mind. When I was there again, the warmth and coldness in my heart changed.
Clouds in the sky.
Unknowingly, I arrived at the former Prince Ning's Mansion. The door was ajar. I stood in front of it in a daze, my mind completely blank. The moment I stepped onto the stone stairs, I inadvertently saw two shadows that were hiding because I turned around.
Black military boots and agile skills, I was secretly shocked and felt helpless and desolate. It was people sent by Huangfu Zhi who were following me, but he still didn't believe me.
Was he suspicious or concerned? He had no time to think too much and turned around to leave in a hurry. The sun was setting, and it seemed that he could only return in vain.
"Eh? Is it the second young lady of the Liu family? Oh, no, no, no, it's Concubine Shu..." An old man with gray hair and beard, with a kind face and a bag of herbs in his hand, looked at me and asked uncertainly.
I took a closer look and saw that it was the old housekeeper of the Ning Mansion. Fortunately, he still remembered me, but I had long forgotten his last name. I smiled and said, "Butler, don't be too lazy. Zipei just came out and something happened."
"Oh, don't worry, it's not like Concubine Shu, please don't blame me for being rude." The butler put the herbs into his lapel with a look of fear on his face.
I glanced at the two shadows in the corner with my peripheral vision, approached the housekeeper, looked at the half-opened door of Ning Mansion, and asked, "Who else is in the house now?"
"Oh, hey, the master and his wife have gone, and the young lady has entered the palace again. The young prince resigned from the position of governor and disappeared without a trace. Now the servants in the house have left and scattered, and only a few are left without a trace.
The servants of the family have been in the house for generations, hoping for the return of the young prince." The housekeeper sighed: "This young prince has been spoiled by the old prince since he was a child. He does whatever he wants and never cares about the situation of others. Alas...
"
"Uh...Is it true that Prince Ning has never come back? Could it be..." I don't know why I still ask these questions. I'm probably worried about his safety.
"Prince Ning is fine. Miss Lan came here a few days ago and gave us some silver coins, asking us to take good care of ourselves in Prince Ning's Mansion." The housekeeper laughed when he mentioned Miss Lan: "That Miss Lan is a mouthful.
She is amazing and can do everything very quickly. With her by the young prince's side, we old guys feel at ease. We just hope that they can come back and settle down soon."
"Miss Lan?" She felt sour, swallowed her saliva, and said with a smile: "So Prince Ning has never come back?"
"Oh, Miss Lan said that the young prince will be back soon," the housekeeper said.
Suddenly he felt disgusted that the butler continued to mention Miss Lan. He glanced uneasily at the figure following behind him again and said: "Butler, I still have some things to do before I leave." Then he left in a hurry.
The weeping willows in Cypress Lane are sparse and the sky is getting dark.
The sound of hurried footsteps sounded in this secluded alley. Looking at the men in black holding large knives and surrounding him, a chill went up my spine.
No one said anything, they just approached me step by step, feeling extremely calm because I knew someone would come to save me!
really!
When the man in black raised his knife and rushed toward me, the two men who had been following me for a long time rushed out, and every move looked well-trained.
The flash of swords and the shadow of swords, the blood splattered in the alley.
However, they were outnumbered. How could the two guards stand against the men in black who kept jumping up from the eaves. After a fierce battle, several corpses lay on the ground.
I smiled coldly, it seemed that this person's heart to kill me was as strong as steel.
Ring ring ring!
A faint sound of silver bells attracted everyone's attention. They saw a woman in blue at the end of the alley. Her face could not be seen clearly but she was wearing exquisite silver jewelry. She was shaking the silver bell in her hands and humming an unknown tune.
The man in black glanced at her and raised his knife towards me again. The woman flew past at an extremely fast speed with a bulging pointed basket on her waist. As she flew to the ground, some white pungent powder was sprinkled in the air.
, and then grabbed dozens of tiny green snakes from the basket and threw them at the man in black.
The snake came out of the basket, smelled the smell of white powder, and immediately swarmed towards the man in black, screaming in agony for a while.
"If you don't want to be bitten by a snake, just eat it!" The woman in blue handed me a red medicine, and after looking at it with some hostility, she raised her head arrogantly.
He took the medicine, swallowed it in one gulp, and said quietly, "Thank you."
When I saw the man in black being trapped by a snake and in agony, I knew my crisis was over, so I turned around and left.
"Hey!" The woman grabbed my shoulder and stopped me from leaving and said, "Do you still have a tutor? This girl kindly saved you, said thank you and left!"
"What? Do you want silver or gold? I'll give you any amount! But I know you don't need it. Although I don't know who you are, thank you for helping me." She is very petite and wears a blue Miao uniform.
The tight wrap outlines her beautiful figure, and her facial features are as delicate and dexterous as her silver jewelry.
"You know it's him?!" She frowned and said full of jealousy: "Even if he asked me to do this, he saved your life! Are you so indifferent?! What a ungrateful woman!
"
He?! Is Huangfu Zhi?
Looking at the black sky uneasily, he avoided her outstretched hand and walked straight towards Liu Mansion.
As soon as I walked to Liu Mansion, I met the wet nurse who ran out with an anxious look on her face. When she saw me, she said: "Miss, Miss! You are finally back, Mu Yang... Young Master Mu Yang... No, it's the Second Young Master who is back..."
…" The wet nurse was already in tears after she finished speaking. She raised the three of us personally, and the second brother was nourished by drinking her milk.
Hearing her words, I breathed a long sigh of relief and looked up at the sky. The sky was filled with spring snow falling like catkins.
