Among the green bamboo forests, deep in the courtyard.
The water flowing under the small bridge comes from the West Lake.
The bluestone path winds along the water, and people walking on it feel like they are on the water.
It has to be a place full of books, and the courtyard structure is full of poetry and painting.
Behind the two rockery landscaping is the Xizi Bookstore Miss Rendezvous Pavilion.
"If you meet a young lady in a quiet place, it will definitely be a romantic affair."
Lin Wanjie covered her mouth and joked, causing Xiao Yuchan's face to turn red and she turned to glare at Lin Da.
The eldest lady felt depressed, thinking that she was originally a young lady from her own family, but now she was called to a tryst by a young lady from her family, and she had to pretend to be a man. What kind of thing was this?
I don't know whether to be happy or depressed.
Just as he was thinking about it, someone opened a corner of the small pavilion, and a young girl in a yellow shirt and yellow skirt came out. She was delicate in appearance, with regular features, and a slightly petite figure, but her tenderness made people pity her.
"Mr. Xiao, is that you?" The girl's voice was a little excited. She crossed her arms and clasped her fingers tightly. She really looked like a longing girl.
Xiao Yuchan frowned, coughed slightly, and nodded in a pretentious manner: "That's right, I don't know Miss asked Xiao to come here..."
"The little girl Liu Ruoju was astonished when she heard Mr. Xiao's poems. That sentence, "If love lasts for a long time, how can it be touching day and night?" It touched the heart of the little girl, so she took the liberty to invite the young man to chat. A few words, please don’t think Mr. Xiao is rude."
Xiao Yuchan looked back at Lin Wanjie, and then forced out a smile: "Ms. Liu is worrying too much. I don't think it's offensive."
"Really?" Liu Ruoju was very happy, her eyes flashed, staring at Xiao Yuchan, her eyes were full of love, almost making Xiao Yuchan's face turn red, "Then please come to the small pavilion, sir. A narration."
Saying that, Liu Ruoju respectfully made a gesture of invitation.
A pair of eyes did not forget to look at Mr. Xiao secretly, almost making Lin Wanjie feel like nothing.
When the eldest daughter of the Xiao family puts on men's clothes, she is really a pretty boy who brings disaster to the country and the people. No woman would dislike her.
She is so good-looking and so talented.
The little fan girl in the future will definitely be more than just the one in front of me.
Lin Wanjie liked this kind of plot and followed behind silently. Inadvertently, he came out of the small pavilion and opened the curtain to serve the servant. He saw that the servant had a sword on his waist!
Autumn Water Sword!
Then he looked up at the person dressed as a servant at the door.
Who is it if it’s not Lu Waner?
Yes, it’s really Lu Waner!
Lin Wanjie's eyes widened, and he subconsciously wanted to step forward and catch her.
Fortunately, he thought of where he was at this moment in time and didn't say anything.
But his steps were frozen in place, and there was no movement.
Xiao Yuchan stood at the entrance of the small pavilion, looked back at Lin Da, who was stunned, and shouted: "Lin Da, why are you standing there? Come in."
Miss Liu also looked at her servant: "Xiao Lu, what's wrong with you?"
Lu Waner, dressed as a servant, also noticed Lin Wanjie.
Like Lin Wanjie, he was stunned on the spot, looking at Lin Wanjie's eyes, not knowing what he was thinking, but his expression was a little dull.
Lin Wanjie was also thinking, why did Lu Wan'er appear here?
After leaving Qingshan Village, I thought she would take her master to seek medical treatment or find a place to practice in seclusion.
At least it won't appear in Hangzhou.
After all, after what happened last time, martial law was imposed everywhere in Hangzhou, and the suppression of the White Lotus Sect reached unprecedented intensity.
It is very dangerous to continue to stay in Hangzhou.
The two looked at each other for half a minute and came to their senses almost at the same time.
Then they all pretended not to know each other.
Lu Waner returned to Miss Liu and glanced at Lin Wanjie.
Lin Wanjie walked to the edge of the pavilion, and Xiao Yuchan dragged him to follow him into the pavilion.
Lin Wanjie, however, refused to go in and said, "Young master is talking to Miss Liu, so I can't eavesdrop inside."
Miss Liu thought about it and quickly ordered: "Xiao Lu, you also go out, I want to talk to Mr. Xiao alone."
Lu Waner walked out of the pavilion happily, as if she was expecting such an arrangement.
But Xiao Yuchan was not happy. Mr. Lin was her military advisor. Without Mr. Lin by her side, how could the eldest lady feel at ease?
What if this Miss Liu wants to recite poems and write lyrics by herself again?
Without Mr. Lin around, the eldest lady estimated that her secret would be exposed instantly.
But Lin Wanjie just needed a chance to talk to Lu Waner, so how could he go in? So he whispered: "We are all women and young ladies. What are you afraid of her doing?"
The eldest lady half pushed her way into the small pavilion, and stood alone in front of Miss Liu. The silk curtains on all sides of the small pavilion were hanging down, fluttering in the cool afternoon breeze. The eldest lady's face was slightly red, and she was a little nervous.
"Master Xiao, there is no need to be formal. Just treat this place as your own home. Take a seat first."
Outside the booth, two old acquaintances also started a conversation.
"Nowhere in life do we meet again."
"It is necessary to know each other before we meet."
Lin Wanjie answered the question smoothly, but not very well.
Lu Waner frowned and glared at Lin Wanjie.
It is also a woman disguised as a man, and the softness of the woman is revealed immediately.
"Ahem." Lin Wanjie coughed dryly, looked around to make sure there was no one around, and then asked, "Why are you here?"
"Why did I tell you?"
Lu Wan'er chatted to death with just one sentence.
Lin Wanjie was silent for a long time, really not knowing how to answer.
Lu Wan'er paused for a moment, seeming to feel that her words were too aggressive, so she softened her tone to make up for it: "Huh, I heard that you made a meritorious report, killed the Suzaku envoy of the White Lotus Sect, and made great achievements in front of Prince Jing. Now you are Jing. You are a famous person in the palace, even the prefect treats you with great courtesy."
"..."
Feelings are angry here.
Lin Wanjie sat upright and sneered: "The White Lotus Sect is a chivalrous and righteous person, robbing the rich and giving to the poor. All they do is to eliminate violence and bring peace to the people."
"You!" Lu Waner choked.
Before this, Lu Waner would have been furious.
But after what happened in Qingshan Village, what she saw and heard was not enough to support her to continue to hold up the banner of justice to refute others.
"You and I know how many people the White Lotus Sect's Suzaku envoy has killed and how many bad things he has done. After the incident at Qingshan Village, he not only did not restrain himself, but actually got closer to the imperial court. If I don't kill him, what will happen in the future? So that he can harm more people?"
"Okay! You are right at this time, and I won't argue with you. But you have now become the target of the White Lotus Sect, and I will not tell you the internal affairs of the White Lotus Sect."
"I am concerned about why you are here as a friend? It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, I have no interest in the White Lotus Sect's plan."
"Friend..." Lu Waner murmured softly, with a faint smile on her lips.
"Besides you, where is your master? How is she recovering?"
"Master is fine. He is currently practicing in seclusion. His health is fine, but his skills are recovering very slowly."
Lin Wan nodded and became silent.
Lu Wan'er's inner feelings changed. When she heard that Lin Wanjie cared about her master, she felt a little sour inexplicably.
He glanced at Lin Wanjie secretly, his face turned a little red.
Lin Wanjie lowered his head and muttered, seeming to be thinking about something.
At the same time as Lu Waner spoke, Lin Wanjie also spoke.
"what's on your mind?"
"I have something to ask for."
The two spoke at the same time and looked at each other. Lu Waner smiled and suddenly felt proud: "Is there any trouble you need my help with? Just ask."
Lin Wanjie said in a deep voice: "This may violate morality and is not honorable. Are you willing to help?"
"Violate morality? Not honorable?" Lu Waner was confused at first, then laughed softly, "Tell me, I know you are not a treacherous person, and even if you do something that violates morality, it won't be too much."
"I heard that King Cheng committed something in the capital and implicated the Xiao family. Recently, officials from the capital may have come to Hangzhou to arrest people. I would like to ask you to help investigate. If the news is true, they really came to arrest people from the Xiao family... "
"Just what?"
Lin Wanjie's eyes darkened, and murderous intent emerged: "Catch him halfway!"
Just one sentence scared away a few birds near the pavilion.
In the pond not far away, fish also dived into the water.
Lu Wan'er almost screamed, and immediately covered her mouth with her hand, staring at Lin Wanjie in disbelief.
This...this is not what Lin Wanjie could say at all.
"Why... why? Why are you so decisive?" Lu Waner's voice was trembling. This was too bold, not just killing people, but killing imperial envoys!
"Besides this, what else can be done?" Lin Wanjie asked.
Lu Waner couldn't answer, but asked instead: "You can kill once, but can you kill a second time? There will only be more and more people in the court, and you will eventually be unable to cope with it. Then the Xiao family's sins will be even greater. .”
"I can't control so much. The power struggle in the imperial court has caused other people to be implicated. It's not ordinary people like us who can influence the outcome at all. We can only keep delaying and wait for the outcome of the imperial court."
"This doesn't seem like a choice you can make. Why? Is it because the Xiao family is involved? Mrs. Xiao is involved?"
"Yes!" Lin Wanjie admitted frankly, "It's not one Mrs. Xiao, but three Mrs. Xiaos. None of the three ladies can be in danger! As long as I can protect them, I will do it even if I risk my life!"
There were a few small drops of sweat on Lu Waner's forehead, and her expression became more serious.
In fact, she could guess that this big man would become bloodthirsty and cold-blooded only if the three ladies of the Xiao family were involved.
Lu Wan'er noticed something when they were in Daqingshan.
However, Lin Wanjie asking him to do something for another woman is still a serious matter of murder!
It is estimated that any woman would not feel very happy.
Lin Wanjie became a little anxious and continued to ask: "Wan'er, I have no one else but you to ask for help."
The sound of "Wan'er" struck a chord in Lu Wan'er's heart. She sweated more on her forehead, her face became redder, and she felt a little flustered.
In order to stabilize his emotions, he finally took a deep breath, and when he exhaled, he whispered two words: "Scumbag."
"Ah? What did you say?" Lin Wanjie didn't hear.
Lu Waner rolled her eyes and said viciously: "Stop asking, I promise you!"
"real?"
"Really! Are you satisfied?"
"Thank you."
"But I will only help you personally and will not involve the White Lotus Sect."
"I understand! After you find out the situation, don't do it yourself. Call me and I will accompany you to intercept and kill the imperial envoy."
