The night was dark and the stars were dim.
Not sure if it was because winter was coming, but the weather was very bad these days. The whole day was gloomy, as if there was a huge piece of black silk covering the sky and the sun. There was no moon or stars at night, and the occasional two or three stars hanging high in the sky was already an extremely rare sight in the eyes of the people of Tiandu.
After Taohong and Liulu served Miss Xiaoxin to sleep, the two looked at each other, closed the door and turned to leave.
They did not speak, and after taking a cloak to protect themselves from the cold, the two walked towards the gate of the backyard together.
"Sister Taohong, where are you going so late?" The guard at the door asked aloud. Taohong and Liulu were Cui Xiaoxin's chief maidservants, and their status was naturally very high. Moreover, she often came in and out of this door, so everyone was very familiar with her.
"Miss is anxious to see the new book 'The God of Cookery', and wants me and Liulu to buy it. Otherwise, Miss said she can't sleep at night. "
"Our Miss likes to read." The guard captain Cui Run said with a smile, "But it's so late, is the Golden Stone Shop still open?"
"It should be? Fortunately, it's in the city, just a few steps, we'll run over to see — — If Miss can't sleep all night, it will be a big deal. "Liulu interrupted.
"Yes, yes. You go quickly, don't miss the time. If you wait until their shop closes, you won't be able to buy it. "Cui Run urged.
"We'll go and come back quickly, you have to leave the door open for us. Remember, don't tell others. Otherwise, Miss will be punished again. "Taohong and Liulu said with a serious face.
"Understood." Cui Run also knew some of the family affairs of the Cui family, and knew that Cui Xiaoxin was not very happy about marrying into the Song family. But he did not quite understand, a family like the Song family had a deeper foundation than the Cui family, and Song Tinyun was also known as the Jade Tree of the Song family, what was there for Miss to be dissatisfied with? This was the best marriage in the world, right?
Seeing Cui Run agree, Taohong and Liulu trotted all the way and soon disappeared into the depths of the alley.
The two of them ran until they were out of breath. Finally, they stopped at the entrance of a courtyard.
Liulu carefully looked at the courtyard and asked in a low voice, "Is it here? Why doesn't it feel like it? "
"It's here … Didn't we see it just now? The front shop and the backyard. The last time we came to this shop with Miss, I still remember the name … "
Liulu somewhat guiltily looked at the tall and dark courtyard door and nervously said: "Then we … just knock on the door and go in?"
"Of course. Since I'm here, how can I see Gongzi Muyang without knocking? "
"Taohong, I mean — — he's a dragon — — do we really have to — — meet Gongzi Muyang alone?"
Taohong was also nervous, but thinking of her Young Lady's love and care for them, she gritted her teeth and said, "That's natural. Since we've already come out, how can we return empty-handed? Young Miss is going to marry such a despicable and shameless villain. I'm afraid that her whole life will be ruined. And that villain keeps saying that he wants to retaliate against Young Miss, if Young Miss marries into the Song clan, what good days would she have? "
"We know Young Miss's character, although docile on the outside, she is proud and arrogant. She will certainly not come to Gongzi Muyang for help. If the rice is cooked, it would be too late to regret — — why don't we help Young Miss explain her intention, and let Young Miss elope with Gongzi Muyang. That would fulfill Young Miss's wish. Young Miss must like Gongzi Muyang, otherwise she would not have risked her life to protect him last time. Young Master Xiangma was injured like that, but still refused to hand over Gongzi Muyang — — "
Liulu, convinced by Taohong's words, firmly nodded. "Well, we'll do this for Young Miss. We can't let Young Miss marry Song Tinyun, that evil person. I'll knock on the door. "
With that, she raised her hand to knock on the door.
Bang bang bang — —
There was no answer from inside.
"He's not asleep, is he?" Taohong said aloud.
"Probably not. I'll knock again. "Liulu said." No matter what, we have to see Gongzi Muyang today. "
Bang bang bang — —
Liulu knocked on the door again.
Creak — —
Gao Dafu pulled open the door, looked at the two beautiful girls standing at the door, and couldn't help asking, "Who are you looking for?"
"We're looking for that — — that person who went to the Cui residence with you to deliver the cloth?"
"Oh, you're from the Cui residence? I remember you. You said you're looking for Ergou? "Gao Dafu asked. The last time he and Li Muyang went to deliver the cloth, he received money from the two girls, so he had a deep impression of them. "Ergou is not here."
"Not here? Where did he go? "
"I don't know." Gao Dafu shook his head. "I don't know where he went."
Gao Dafu did not live in this courtyard. The front of the courtyard was the shop front, and the back was the place where the Boss, Lady Boss and Li Muyang lived. They, the outsiders, lived in the more remote outer city. It was just that it was the end of the month, and they had to sort out the warehouse and goods. All the workers were left behind by Manager Mo to help.
Otherwise, they would have gone back to rest long ago.
"Do you know when he will come back?"
"I don't know." Gao Dafu continued to shake his head. "But, Ergou lives here. Why are you looking for Ergou? When Ergou comes back, I'll help you pass the message? "
"That — —" Taohong and Liulu exchanged a glance. Taohong said, "No need. We'll come back tomorrow to look for him. "
With that, the two of them turned around to leave.
They came to look for someone behind Xiaoxin's back. If Young master Muyang found the Cui residence, Miss would certainly not forgive them. At that time, not only would they fail to accomplish their task, they would also be taught a lesson by Miss.
"What a strange person." Gao Dafu looked completely puzzled.
Just then, a black-robed man came out of the dark alley, blocking the way of Taohong and Liulu's departure.
"You — — where are you going?" A cold voice sounded.
"Young master Tinyun — —"
Taohong and Liulu's faces were ashen.
"Young master Tinyun?" Song Tinyun looked at the two servant girls with a mocking expression. "Isn't that despicable and shameless villain? Isn't that bad guy with a human face but a beast's heart? "
Plop — —
Taohong and Liulu hurriedly dropped to their knees. It was fine if they said such words in private, but they did not expect the person in question to hear it. Even if Song Tinyun killed them with a single sword strike, they deserved it.
"Young master Tinyun, we — — we really didn't want to — — scold Young master Tinyun — —" Liulu kowtowed and begged for mercy, but could not continue.
They had insulted and attacked Song Tinyun, and he had heard them, what was the point of explaining now?
"Say it. Why don't you say it? "
"We — — we just don't want to see Miss being bullied — —" Liulu braced herself and said.
"It's not that you didn't think of insulting me, but you didn't expect me to hear it?" Song Tinyun said sarcastically, standing there like a god of death. "But you don't have to be afraid, I didn't think of punishing you — — if you didn't lead the way, how could I find the place where the evil dragon is hiding? The workers of the silk and satin shop really have some ideas, even the city guards would not be able to find them here — — "
Taohong and Liulu's faces were twisted with fear. Although they were worried about Gongzi Li's fate, they could not even protect themselves now, and it was as difficult as ascending to heaven to rescue Gongzi Muyang.
"Fortunately Gongzi Muyang is not here — —"
They thought in their minds.
Gao Dafu, seeing that the two servants of the Cui residence had left, was ready to go back to work, but when another person came out of the alley, they unexpectedly knelt down in front of the black-robed man.
This infuriated Gao Dafu. Lord Dafu was watching, how dare a hooligan bully a good woman in public?
Gao Dafu roared, pointing to Song Tinyun, "What are you doing? What are you doing? Aren't you ashamed to bully two little girls? "
As he spoke, Gao Dafu had already dashed over to where Song Tinyun was standing.
"I tell you, Grandpa Dafu is here, I won't let your evil intentions succeed — —"
Song Tinyun suddenly spun around, his eyes like an unsheathed sword staring at Gao Dafu.
Gao Dafu felt a sharp pain in his eyes, as though his pupils had been pierced with two needles. His feet were blocked by the wall of qi, and his body was as though it was tied up by countless ropes. He spurted out a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground with a 'plop'.
"You — — you — —" Gao Dafu pointed to Song Tinyun, a look of horror across his face. He had just exchanged a glance with someone, and he was already so badly injured. Who was this person?
The world of cultivators was too far away for a little girl in a silk shop. She just wanted to make a few more money, and then go back to marry the beauty of her village.
Song Tinyun walked over to Gao Dafu step by step, looking down at him. "The Huang Ergou you are talking about — — is that Li Muyang, right?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." Gao Dafu said, a look of fear across his face. "I don't know any Li Muyang — —"
"Oh, since he is pretending to be Huang Ergou, you naturally don't know his true identity — —" A faint smile appeared at the corner of Song Tinyun's mouth, and he said, "Then, you must be very familiar with Huang Ergou, right?"
"He is a shop assistant who just came into our shop — — he is a good person. Don't hurt him. "
"Good person?" Song Tinyun chewed on these two words, and then he squinted his eyes and smiled, saying, "If I say he is an evil dragon, would you believe me?"
"No." Gao Dafu shook his head desperately. "He is Huang Ergou, a relative of our boss's wife — — how could he be a dragon? He can't even lift a box of cloth — — and he … he still eats braised meat rice and whistle noodles with us — — if he doesn't eat human livers, how could he be a dragon? "
"If I say he is a dragon, then he is a dragon — —" The smile on Song Tinyun's face gradually faded. "When you see it with your own eyes, I'm afraid you will completely give up, right?"
Song Tinyun waved his hand and shouted, "Arrest him."
Clatter — —
Countless soldiers in black armor emerged from the streets and alleys. On the walls and roofs, one cultivator after another surrounded the small courtyard. Farther away, hundreds of Still water swordsmen clad in white robes and bare feet were charging over.
Song Tinyun laid down this inescapable net just to slaughter the evil dragon that was stirring up the imperial capital.
