The slender figure of the embroiderer appeared in front of the square of the Sutra Copying Hall.
Her eyes were slightly red, as if she had cried.
Came here in a hurry.
Especially, after seeing the indifferent figure of a woman in fox white fur waiting with a straight face ahead.
Xie Lingjiang noticed that Xiu Niang lowered her head slightly and slowed down her hurried steps behind her hands.
She looks even more delicate and lovable.
Like a homeless wet kitten returning timidly, 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, and her frail body carried a three-foot long sword on her back, which showed the strength hidden in her temperament.
However, she seemed to be a mute girl who came back from Di Gongzha in a hurry, for some unknown reason.
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 when Xuezhongzhu 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 over honestly.
This look of being sincere, well-behaved, guilty and apologetic despite repeated mistakes made Xue Zhongzhu even more angry:
"Today in Dragon City, the Ding Sword was born, and there was a mixture of fish and dragons, didn'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, mouthing "Ah" empty-handedly, her face a little embarrassed.
"My eldest daughter misunderstood."
Xie Lingjiang listened for a while and suddenly interrupted:
"Your junior sister has been here just now, and has also been to Luming Street at the foot of the mountain. She has met me several times. She should...she should also be helping the eldest daughter to find the tripod sword. As for why she 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 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. There was a complex look on her cheeks covered by her hair that the latter could not understand, and there seemed to be... guilt in it?
Xuezhongzhu snorted softly, without comment.
Xie Lingjiang looked stunned.
At this moment, Ouyang Rong was lying unconscious in Xie Lingjiang's arms. Xie Lingjiang was sitting on his knees among the ruins again, facing the candle in the snow. His tall and delicate body was 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 and seemed to avoid her to talk to his junior sister.
The lady of Yunmeng walked straight towards Xiu Niang, blocking the latter's view of the objects in the square:
"Don't look at it. You came so late and everyone has disappeared. Do you think everyone is just like you and likes to hang around?" The tone was stiff.
The embroiderer buried her head, took a step forward, and reached out to hold the senior sister's sleeves, but was waved away by Xue Zhongzhu's big sleeves.
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 one among the Junior Sisters in the palace. Before Master passed away, he was the most pleased and reassured about you. However, 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 Xiu Niang'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, and Xuezhongzhu stared at Zhao Qingxiu with his eyes and said:
"Is he also in this county?"
"Ah?" Xiu Niang's expression was visibly flustered.
She won't lie at all, and this 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 Yuejun of Nujun Palace, the first-in-line heir to Yunmeng Jianze's head "Yuanjun".
The legal qualifications are higher than that of the eldest queen, Xue Zhongzhu, who is currently leading the queen's palace.
Since the Spring and Autumn Period, the first generation Yue Chuzi killed all the dragons in the mountains and rivers of Wuyue, and 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 virgin who accompanied him. Together they killed half of Da Qin's energy.
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, and 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 thought she was cold and introverted, it was just the perspective of those unreliable men who thought she was unattainable. As a result, they spread rumors and misled Xie Lingjiang.
Xie Lingjiang had a lot of thoughts and quickly gathered her thoughts. She lowered her head and glanced at the senior brother in her arms, and then at the 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 Palace.
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 quibbling, 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: "What do you care about him, Seventh Junior Sister, everyone has his own destiny, not only you, but also me and your senior sisters. Now that you have worshiped Yunmeng, all the worldly ties under the mountain must be cut off, even if the teacher I am still here, and no matter how much I love you, I will never allow you to act like this!
After she finished speaking categorically, she paused, and suddenly, seemingly for no reason, she said again:
"Seventh Junior Sister, for your child husband's family, Master 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 soft. 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, if they are not ordinary people who indulge in seven emotions and six desires, or if they 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 person?”
Zhao Qingxiu shook her head stubbornly, "Ah, yes."
"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 come to see you in so many years? Why have they ignored you?"
Zhao Qingxiu was speechless, looking up at the blue sky behind the senior sister and on 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 Yue Chuzi turned his head when he heard the words, his little 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 her arms were 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. Words, whimpering.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"
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, not daring 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-fur 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 having an affair with my seventh junior sister... why 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 Tanlang. Zhao Qingxiu knelt down and held Ouyang Rong in front of Xuezhongzhuo, her mouth filled with sorrow. "Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, oooh, oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo, a...... okay..." grab the eldest sister's skirts.
Xue Zhongzhu's delicate snow-white face, which was originally lined 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 treasonous!"
Xue Zhongzhu's nose trembled, his white face turned red with anger, and he cursed. Finally, he couldn't help but lower his eyes and stared at the writing on the ground.
The Yunmeng lady was angry and scolding her from time to time, but Zhao Qingxiu was surprisingly calm, lowering her head to write words and trying to communicate.
I don’t know what these two noble ladies were talking about. Shao Qing and a certain queen turned back her sleeves 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 asking for mercy." 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 hugged excitedly by the innocent and delicate mute girl, and was squeezed out of the way. Xie Lingjiang looked down and felt 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 grasped the leaked eldest brother's palm. She clasped her fingers together and tilted her head blankly.
The child bride of the elder brother is 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 it is updated once a day, I will never ask for leave to stop updating. From the beginning of the book to now, I have only taken one day off, so don’t worry, dear brothers! Xiaorong is strong!
