Xu Mingyi vaguely noticed something strange about the little maid, and while taking the letter, she asked: "Who sent it?"
"This maid didn't know that it was a child with candied haws in his hand who delivered it to the concierge. He only said that a strange young man asked him to deliver it. He didn't recognize the person and specified that it was for a girl.
.”
That's what I mean by not wanting to reveal my identity...
Xu Mingyi was confused and had already taken out the letter and unfolded it.
The handwriting on it really looks like it was written by a man.
And the content of the letter...
Xu Mingyi's expression changed.
"What's wrong? Did you state your identity in this letter?" Princess Yufeng, who didn't want to pry too much, couldn't help but asked when she saw that she looked obviously wrong.
"It's Zhan Yunzhu." Xu Mingyi said solemnly.
"who?"
Princess Yufeng frowned, and it took her a while to remember which one it was. She couldn't help but said in surprise: "You said that peacock who always opens his tail secretly...didn't he commit suicide by throwing himself into the river a long time ago?!"
She could tell early on that this man had something.
She didn't know about the others, but she was indeed very good at winning people's hearts, and they were all of the subtle kind. Ordinary girls would often fall into them if they were not careful.
At that time, she also lamented that it would be a pity for such a man not to go to Magatama-in, otherwise a top star would not be able to escape.
She was previously worried that Xu Zhaozhao would be deceived, but Xu Zhaozhao also used his ignorance to subtly prove that she was overly worried.
"Yes, a man who committed suicide by drowning in the river suddenly sent me a letter telling me that he is still alive -" Xu Mingyi's eyes calmed down very quickly, he lowered his eyes and looked at the letter in his hand, and said: "I still have an appointment.
I will meet you two days later at dusk under a mountain forest outside the city..."
Moreover, the letter also said that it was not appropriate for him to tell others that he was still alive for the time being, so he asked her to keep the secret for him, and it was best to go there alone.
In addition to this piece of letter paper, there is another thing in the envelope——
A peach wood hairpin for men to tie their hair.
The head of the hairpin is carved with the pattern of auspicious clouds, and the body of the hairpin is polished until it shines.
This is indeed something that accounts for Yunzhu.
She remembered that once when she was young, he and she went to Hanming Temple to accompany her uncle to make tea and enjoy the snow. While she and Akui were chasing each other and having a snowball fight, they accidentally got tangled in a dead branch of a peach tree and got a strand of hair entangled. She vaguely remembered that it was him who helped
It was solved with patience.
Then he broke off the peach branch and took it away. When he returned, he made two hairpins and gave one of them to her.
She thought it was too old-fashioned and looked like a Taoist nun, so she didn't want it.
But she always remembered this incident.
It's not because she has a good memory, it's just that in the following years, he would often use this wooden hairpin, and she couldn't forget it even if she wanted to.
But, was it the one Zhan Yunzhu was wearing when he threw himself into the river that day?
In other words, he still remembers to bring this thing with him? Does he always act in a place where others can't see it?
However, the river was rushing, but the other person was still alive and his hairpin was still there, which was really a rare thing.
"Then are you going? Is there someone who is trying to make things up?" Princess Yufeng frowned and said, "It's best not to go. Anyway, you have nothing to do with him. You don't care whether he is dead or alive."
Xu Mingyi put the letter away and said, "You won't know whether it's a human or a ghost until you go there."
If it were anyone else, she really wouldn't join in the fun.
But since it was in the name of Zhan Yunzhu, she would definitely go.
If someone really wanted to use this to deceive her, I have to say that the method was indeed chosen correctly.
The other party did not overestimate the extent of her interest and curiosity in this matter.
You can trick her into going over there, but don't beg her to leave again when you can't afford it and cry.
…
Two days later.
When the Golden Crow sank to the west, one person and one horse rushed out of the city before the city gate closed.
The person on the horse is wearing a moonlight dress, and a light gauze power fence covers his head.
The horse's hooves stepped on the twilight, ten miles away from the city, under a mountain forest, and was slowly stopped by the man on the horse.
The girl on the horse turned over and dismounted. She did not rush into the forest, but looked around.
At this time, a short and thin young man walked up not far away and asked in a cautious tone: "Dare I ask...is this Miss Xu?"
Under the power fence, the girl nodded lightly, took out the peach wood hairpin from her sleeve and handed it over.
The young man took it, breathed a sigh of relief, and whispered: "Miss Xu, come with me. My young master is waiting for the girl inside."
As he said this, he made a "please" gesture and led the people towards the forest.
Entering deep into the forest, you can see a wooden house in front of you.
The wooden house looks very old, probably it was used by Orion woodcutter to rest.
"My young master is inside."
Seeing the girl standing outside the wooden house door, seemingly hesitant, the boy quickly opened the door.
At this time, the sky was almost completely dark, with only a faint trace of gray and blue remaining. Through this dark sight, the man wearing a power fence looked inside the house.
This kind of place has no furnishings to speak of, just a broken table, a bench, and a window.
In front of the window, with his back to the door, stood a man wearing a long gown.
Judging from his body shape and half-rolled black hair, he should be a young man.
At this time, the young man slowly turned around.
However, in the dimness, only the general outline could be seen, and his facial features were all immersed in darkness, making it impossible to take a closer look.
The girl outside the door saw this and immediately walked in.
When she walked up to the man, she suddenly heard the sound of the door of the wooden house behind her being closed and locked very quickly.
She was startled and quickly turned around, but at this moment, the man in front of her suddenly raised his hand and covered her mouth and nose with a cloth through the gauze.
The man was extremely strong and she had almost no strength to resist.
But after a moment, she stopped struggling.
The man put the person on the ground, squatted down, and raised his hand to pick off the power fence.
"It is said that Miss Xu from Zhenguo Duke's Mansion is the most beautiful woman in Beijing. Today I am going to open my eyes..." The young man said to himself with a smile.
However, the next moment, his smile froze on his face.
...Why is it a man?!
Although it was dimly lit, he couldn't tell whether the face was male or female. After all, the other person didn't even shave his beard, and it pricked his hand!
"Fuck!
The young man knew that his plan was in vain, and he was about to stand up in anger. At this moment, the boy on the ground who took advantage of his slender body and slender bones to pretend to be a girl suddenly opened his eyes and took out the gun hidden behind his waist.
He jumped up while holding the dagger.
The young man was startled and turned sideways to narrowly avoid the blow.
Wasn't he drugged? How could he still wake up?!
What a hell!
The man cursed and dodged the boy's attack in a panic.
The young man was holding his breath when the cloth was covering his mouth and nose. All his actions were just for show.
His movements were extremely fast, and even though the man had some basic skills in the Three-Legged Cat Kung Fu, he was quickly restrained.
