Chapter 257 Xie Lingjiang: Obviously I came first!
The slender figure of the embroiderer appeared in front of the square of the Sutra Copying Hall.
Her eye circles were slightly red, as if she had cried.
Came here in a hurry.
Especially, after seeing the indifferent figure of a fox-white fur woman waiting in front of me with a straight face.
Xie Lingjiang noticed that the embroiderer put her hands behind her waist, lowered her head slightly, and slowed down her hurried steps.
She looks even more delicate and lovable.
Like a homeless wet kitten timidly returning, one cannot help but reach out and rub its head.
But Xie Lingjiang knew the strength of this mute girl in Wu skirt. She could easily cut off Liu Fu's arm. Her frail body carried a three-foot long sword on her back, which made her even more strong-willed.
It's just that she seems to be a mute girl who came back from Di Gongzha in a hurry. I don't know why.
Her little face was a little dazed, as if she had lost her backbone, worrying about gains and losses, absent-minded...
Just when Xie Lingjiang frowned in confusion.
"You still know how to come here?"
The two sides were still quite far away, and Xuezhongzhu had already opened his mouth and said with a sullen face:
"Hiding, why don't you keep hiding? Don't you know how to hide? As long as I don't catch you, you can sneak out and sneak back again without anyone noticing. Your good senior sisters can help smooth things over."
"Ah..." Xiu Niang lowered her head and walked honestly.
This look of making mistakes repeatedly, but still being honest, well-behaved, and apologetic made Xue Zhongzhu even more angry:
"Today in Dragon City, the Ding Sword was born, and there was a mixture of fish and dragons. Don't you know?
"It's enough to violate the ban and leave the palace privately. When you come to Dragon City, you don't know how to help. You hide from me everywhere. You even go to the upper reaches of Yue Nu Gorge, where the gate has just collapsed. I don't know what you are looking for?"
Xue Zhongzhu, who was wearing a fox white fur shawl, turned sideways, closed his eyes and said coldly, his back to Xiu Niang, not looking at her angrily.
In the distance, the embroiderer stopped and said "Ah" empty-handedly, her little face looking a little embarrassed.
"My eldest daughter misunderstood."
Xie Lingjiang listened for a while and suddenly interrupted:
"You, my junior sister, have been here just now. You have also been to Luming Street at the foot of the mountain. You have met me several times. You should be...probably helping the eldest daughter to find the tripod sword. As for why you went to Yue Nu Gorge...
"
She thought for a while and speculated in a tone:
"My eldest daughter, I don't know. Your junior sister once passed by Di Gongzha and saved my senior brother with a sword. He is the magistrate of Longcheng County and has the responsibility of controlling floods and saving people. I think this girl must also be worried about the people of Longcheng.
Good people, that’s why the Dickong Gate collapsed just now, and I thought that the flood would bring disaster to the people, so I rushed upstream to the Dickong Gate. It’s not like you think, just enjoying the mountains and rivers, not doing your real work.”
Xue Zhongzhu frowned and looked sideways at Xiu Niang, asking if this was the case.
"Ahhh."
Unexpectedly, the mute woman in the distance shook her head honestly, lowering her head and not daring to look at Xie Lingjiang, who was speaking kind words for her. A slight expression appeared on her cheeks covered by her hair, and there was a complicated expression that the latter could not understand, and there seemed to be... guilt in it?
Xuezhongzhu hummed softly, without comment.
Xie Lingjiang looked stunned.
At this moment, Ouyang Rong was lying unconscious in Xie Lingjiang's arms, and Xie Lingjiang was sitting on his knees among the ruins, facing the candle in the snow, with his tall and delicate body facing the embroiderer, temporarily blocking the view of the embroiderer who was walking slowly in the distance.
.
The embroidered lady returned and walked into the square of the Sutra Copying Hall. Her little face, which looked faintly depressed, showed some curiosity and confusion, and she looked around at the ruin-like scene in the square.
Xuezhongzhu left Xie Lingjiang behind, seemingly trying to avoid her and talk to his junior sister.
The lady of Yunmeng walked straight towards Xiu Niang, blocking the latter's sight of exploring the square:
"Don't look at it. You came so late and everyone has disappeared. Do you think they are just like you and like to wander around?" The tone was stiff.
The embroiderer buried her head, took a step forward, and stretched out her hand to hold the sleeves of the senior sister, but was waved away by the big sleeves of the candle in the snow.
Because she was stopped by Xue Zhongzhu, Xiu Niang did not continue to approach Xie Lingjiang's side, and the two girls stood far away together.
Xue Zhongzhu took a deep breath and turned cold:
"Seventh Junior Sister, you used to be the most well-behaved and sensible among the Junior Sisters in the palace. Before Master passed away, he was the most pleased and reassured about you. But starting from three months ago, something didn't feel right with you.
"Taogu Wenjian, although he took the lead, he was distracted the whole time. I asked you to go down to Dragon City to investigate the old alliance, but you stayed for a long time with lame excuses and have not returned. Now you have sneaked into this county three times..."
The eldest queen who led the Yunmeng Lady Palace suddenly turned her head, stared into the embroiderer's eyes and asked, "Is there someone here that you can't forget?"
Compared with the panic on Xiu Niang's face at the moment, Xie Lingjiang's expression was even more exciting as he turned his head to eavesdrop.
There was some shock in her eyes, and she turned her head to look at the mute girl with her head bowed not far away. It was difficult to digest the amount of information in Xue Zhongzhu's words.
"Zhao...Zhao Qingxiu? You...you are the virgin of the Queen's Palace, Zhao Qingxiu?"
Xie Lingjiang frowned and shouted to them.
Xuezhongzhu turned his back to Xie Lingjiang and ignored her, even pretending that she and Ouyang Rong did not exist.
She took Zhao Qingxiu a little further away. Xuezhongzhu stared at Zhao Qingxiu with his eyes and said:
"Is he also in this county?"
"Ah?" The embroiderer's expression was visibly flustered.
She won't lie at all, and her expression cannot escape Xue Zhongzhu's fiery eyes.
"Oh, when you were a child bride in your hometown, that sick child husband is now in this county, right? You are looking for him."
Xue Zhongzhu's tone was indescribably sure.
The embroiderer moved her eyes away, as if ashamed.
On the other side, Xie Lingjiang, who was hugging his senior brother tightly, looked stunned.
Zhao Qingxiu, the famous Yue virgin, turned out to be a mute girl, and she also... had a broken finger on her right hand. Is she such a pitiful person?
But this is the contemporary Yue virgin of Nujun Palace, the first heir to the head of Yunmeng Jianze, "Yuan Jun".
The legal qualifications are higher than that of the eldest female monarch Xue Zhongzhu who is currently leading the female monarch palace.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, when the first generation Yue Chuzi killed all the dragons in the mountains and rivers of Wuyue, every subsequent Yue Chuzi has become almost a legend.
For example, thousands of years ago, in the team that presented the "Elixir of Immortality" to the First Emperor, in addition to the first sword holder in history, there was also a Yue virgin accompanying them. Together they killed half of the Qin Dynasty.
During the millennium, Yue Chuzi even killed Confucian saints who left their names in history.
These three words have become legends both inside and outside the world for thousands of years. They are almost equivalent to the reincarnation of the ancestor of Yunmeng Jianze. However, Yuechuzi inherits mythical spirituality. Only the restless psychic white ape can
Found this unique Yue girl in the land of Wuyue...
Xie Lingjiang took a long breath and gradually digested the incredible information in front of him.
However, wasn't it rumored after Taogu Wenjian that Zhao Qingxiu, a contemporary Yue virgin, is like a fairy, cold and unparalleled, and never speaks to men outside the sect... Wait, it turns out that it is because she is a mute woman and can't really speak.
.
No wonder outsiders think she is cold and introverted. This is just the perspective of those unreliable men who think that the more virgins are, the more unattainable they are. As a result, Xie Lingjiang was misled by rumors.
Xie Lingjiang had a lot of thoughts and quickly gathered her thoughts. She lowered her head and glanced at the senior brother who was hugging her tightly, and then looked at Xuezhongzhu and the mute girl in the distance... No, it was Zhao Qingxiu.
The look of anticipation in her eyes was even stronger. If this girl asked for help and asked her senior sister to save her senior brother, it would be difficult for Xue Zhongzhu to refuse given her noble status in the Queen's Hall.
Although at the moment, the two girls over there seemed to be in an embarrassing situation over something. What exactly was it? Xie Lingjiang, an outsider, couldn't understand the riddle even after listening to it for a long time.
"Stop sophistry, you are not allowed to see this person, come with me! Once you finish dealing with the Dragon City matter and return to Taoyuan, you can never go down the mountain again." Xue Zhongzhu's tone left no room for doubt.
Zhao Qingxiu shook her head and pointed to Longcheng County down the mountain.
Xue Zhongzhu's tone suddenly became fierce: "Whatever you do, seven junior sisters, everyone has his own destiny, not only you, but also your senior sisters and I. Now that we have worshiped Yunmeng, all the worldly ties under the mountain must be cut off, even if the master
Your Majesty is still here, and no matter how much I love you, I will never allow you to act like this!
After she finished speaking decisively, she paused, and suddenly, seemingly without reason, she said again:
"Seventh Junior Sister, for your child husband's family, Master has paid for the purchase and sale, and we owe nothing to each other." The tone was meaningful.
But the next moment, when he saw the mute female junior sister in front of him looking sad and tilting her head in despair, Xue Zhongzhu frowned slightly.
Suddenly remembering the way a certain junior sister in the sect who was considerate and caring like a big sister used to persuade others, the decisive and decisive Yunmeng lady pursed her lips and spoke again, her voice rarely softened.
A little, but the vocabulary I spoke is still a bit unfamiliar:
"Seventh Junior Sister, senior sisters are your real family, and they will truly treat you well. Others are either ordinary people who indulge in seven emotions and six desires, or are not evil people with evil intentions against you. You are pure and simple, don't be deceived by others.
, even if it’s a bamboo horse boy, you haven’t seen him for many years, are you sure he is still the same?”
Zhao Qingxiu shook her head stubbornly, "Ah ah ah."
"What? You said he is also a family member?" Xuezhongzhu understood this and almost stopped holding down the hand that drew the sword. She took a deep breath and tried her best to persuade:
"Think about it, if your child husband's family really regards you as family, why has no one ever come to see you in so many years? Why have they ignored you?"
Zhao Qingxiu was speechless and looked up at the blue sky behind the senior sister at the lonely cornice in the corner of the hall.
Seeing this, Xue Zhongzhu breathed a sigh of relief.
But at this moment, Xie Lingjiang, who was sitting awkwardly among the ruins, suddenly stood up. He couldn't bear it anymore and shouted to the two women in the distance:
"Your Excellency, Miss Zhao, can we talk about old times later? My senior brother is dying. I can provide some clues. Can you save him first..."
"Shut up first." Xue Zhongzhu said angrily.
Xie Lingjiang looked at Zhao Qingxiu with hopeful eyes.
I saw that the Yuechuzi turned his head when he heard the words, his face seemed to be stunned for a moment, and slowly walked towards Xie Lingjiang. Halfway through, he seemed to have completely seen what was in Hongshang's arms. In an instant,
Suddenly, her whole body flashed like lightning.
There's drama!
When Xie Lingjiang saw this, her first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief, but the next moment, she suddenly felt a lightness in her arms, and she felt empty.
The senior brother who was in his arms with his eyes closed and his head bowed was snatched away!
"Uh..." Xie Lingjiang looked up blankly, and immediately saw Zhao Qingxiu kneeling on the ground regardless of him. She hugged Ouyang Rong tightly, her little pear-shaped face buried deep in his arms and cried bitterly, but she couldn't speak.
Speech, whimpering.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Xie Lingjiang's expression gradually stiffened. Zhao Qingxiu stretched out her hand to touch Ouyang Rong's face tremblingly, then reached out carelessly with concern, groping his body and checking his injuries.
Xie Lingjiang's eyes were puzzled and he stammered: "Miss Zhao, why are you hugging my senior brother?"
Zhao Qingxiu still hugged him tightly and did not dare to let go.
At this time, Xuezhongzhu walked over with a shocked look on his face and pointed at the seriously injured young man with trembling fingers: "This...is this your boy husband?"
The fox-skinned white lady couldn't help but turn her head and looked at Xie Lingjiang, whose almond-shaped eyes were gradually rounding, and gave her a fierce look. This...isn't this your lover who will make you cry to death? Why are you talking to me?
My seventh junior sister is having an affair... are you two singing a double act in front of me?
"Yeah." Zhao Qingxiu pressed her cheek against his forehead and nodded desperately towards Xuezhongzhuhuo, signaling that this was her Tan Lang. Zhao Qingxiu knelt down and held Ouyang Rong in front of Xuezhongzhuo, her mouth filled with sorrow.
"Woooooo" but grabbed the senior sister's skirt.
Xue Zhongzhu's delicate snow-white face, which was originally set off by a fox-white fur shawl, now turned blue and purple.
"No, I won't save you!"
Cang——! The cold light is like water.
The sword behind Zhao Qingxiu's back has been unsheathed, and she is holding it in her backhand, pressing it against her thin neck, and blood marks instantly appear.
"..." Xuezhongzhu said with a look of disbelief: "You actually threatened senior sister with your life for him?"
Zhao Qingxiu lowered her head and suddenly turned her hands, using the tip of her sword as a pen to carve words on the ground.
"You... are simply crazy and rebellious!"
Xue Zhongzhu's nose trembled, his white face turned red with anger, he cursed, and finally couldn't help but lower his eyes and stared at the handwriting on the ground.
The Yunmeng lady was angry and scolding her from time to time, but Zhao Qingxiu was surprisingly calm, lowered her head and wrote words, trying to communicate.
I don’t know what these two noble ladies were talking about. Shao Qing and a certain queen turned her back with a livid face and nodded bitterly.
The delicate mute girl sheathed her sword, breathed a long sigh of relief, and hugged the precious tanlang tightly. She sometimes cried and sometimes laughed.
Then she realized something. Zhao Qingxiu grabbed Xie Lingjiang's sleeve with a look of joy and gently shook her hand, signaling her senior sister to agree.
"Thank...Thank you, Miss Zhao, for interceding." Xie Lingjiang's smile was very forced.
Good news, senior brother is saved,
Bad news, she's going to be an outsider,
But, she was obviously the one who came first!
At this moment, Ouyang Rong was being excitedly held in the arms of the innocent and delicate mute girl, and was pushed out of the way. Xie Lingjiang lowered his head and looked down, only to feel that his arms were empty, and his eyes were a little at a loss.
The noble lady of the Xie family moved her body as far as possible and sat down next to Zhao Qingxiu. She reached out her hand from below and silently grabbed the palm of the senior brother's hand that was leaking. She clasped her fingers together and tilted her head blankly.
The elder brother's child bride was actually a famous virgin in the world! But didn't Aunt Zhen say that the child bride was a white-eyed wolf?
Looking at the infatuated mute girl in front of him, Xie Lingjiang's expression didn't know whether he should be happy or worried for a moment.
Although I update once a day, I never ask for leave to stop updating. Since I started the book, I have only taken one day off. Don’t worry, good brothers! Xiaorong is strong!
