Recalling the look in Teng Yuyi’s eyes just now, Bai Zhi sweated secretly. With the lady’s temperament of vengeance, it’s hard to guarantee that she won’t settle the score with that servant.
“Miss, do you know the owner of the servant girl?”
Teng Yu wanted to order Bai Zhi to light the lantern, thinking that he knew more than just knowing each other. Three months later, Duan Ningyuan, the eldest son of Duke Zhen, came to the door suddenly to withdraw from her, and it was precisely because of Dong Erniang in the calf cart.
I remember that everyone was surprised when they heard the news, and the father was even more frightened and angry. Duke Zhen couldn’t hold back his old face and tied his son to plead guilty.
“If Grandpa is not relieved, you can add another hundred.”
In the gloom and rain, a young man in a black shirt knelt upright in front of the court, as if he would rather die than turn back.
Duke Zhen was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, so he grabbed the whip and flogged himself.
“I will kill this dog today!”
Father watched with cold eyes, until Duke Zhen beat Duan Ningyuan half to death before he said, “It’s not my son’s fault for retiring the marriage without reason. You broke your promise first, so don’t try to blame Yu’er. If this matter spreads, it will definitely cause discussions in the streets and alleys.” , but let me hear half a sentence accusing Yu’er, don’t blame me, Teng Shao, for being ruthless!”
After speaking, they tore up the “marriage certificate” and “marriage certificate” in public, and expelled the dying Duan Ningyuan from the mansion.
When this matter was mentioned in the public at first, everyone was surprised that Duan Ningyuan would do such an immoral thing, but as time went by, other theories gradually flowed out.
Duan Ningyuan is recognized as a sincere gentleman, and he is willing to bear the world’s infamy for this matter, it must be because of Teng Shao’s daughter’s lack of virtue.
I heard that this little lady has a face that looks like a flower, but she has an extremely cunning temperament.
This set of rhetoric intensified, and it didn’t take long for it to reach Teng Shao’s ears. A woman’s reputation is so important, who would dare to propose marriage to the Teng family in the future.
But before Teng Shao came back from Huainan Road to do it himself, General Duan was bumped into by someone because of his tryst with Dong Erniang.
It was an autumn shooting ceremony, and the banquet guests were almost all princes and dignitaries. The place was in Leyouyuan, and there was a long-abandoned Buddhist temple nearby. Everyone’s interest.
Everyone went to have fun, and happened to run into a tryst between Little General Duan and the second daughter of Dong Mingfu in Wannian County.
Dong Erniang was dressed in a man’s beard for the convenience of traveling, but she couldn’t hide her delicate demeanor.
Dong Erniang is full of tears, Duan Ningyuan comforts in a gentle voice, the two are respectful, but anyone can see Duan Ningyuan’s admiration and care for Dong Erniang.
This matter caused an uproar, and the two were deeply attached to each other. It can be seen that they had been in contact for a long time. General Duan’s conduct was praised by everyone, but the reason for breaking the marriage contract was because he fell in love with another woman.
There were so many rude speculations about the young lady of the Teng family earlier, but little general Duan didn’t even defend a single word. It’s a heart of stone.
For a while, people made excuses, some despised Duan Ningyuan’s actions, some accused Dong Erniang of being frivolous and flirtatious, and the Duke of Zhen was ashamed. Dong Erniang entered.
That night Teng Yuyi was lying on the bed, drinking Shi Dongchun in the wine cup calmly.
She has no interest in who Duan Ningyuan wants to stay and fly with, but trying to compensate her because of her own selfishness is too deceitful.
Duan Ningyuan is an extremely cautious person, she has spent a lot of thought and thought in order to set up this situation, and finally waited for the day when the two of them were ruined, how could she not drink too much.
***
Seeing that Teng Yuyi and others entered the room smoothly, the servant woman also stepped forward to discuss, but all the noble servants just stopped outside the forest and would not let them go no matter what.
The maid’s voice was quite loud, and Bai Zhi listened to a few words before realizing that the servant was the lady in charge of Dong Ming’s family in Wannian County.
Although Baizhi lives in Yangzhou all the year round, it is also known that Chang’an City is divided into two counties, the east city belongs to Wannian County, and the west city belongs to Chang’an County.
The county magistrates of the two counties are only the official ranks of the fifth grade, but they are located in Gyeonggi and hold real power, so they can be regarded as dignified figures.
Negotiations were in vain, the middle-aged servant woman was so embarrassed, she only heard a call from the person in the calf cart, the woman got into the cart and lifted the curtain to come out, angrily told the coachman: “Er Niang is worried about the old lady The sick body, hurrying to go back to the city after the banquet to serve, don’t waste it here, let’s take a long way.”
The coachman agreed, and the fragrant chariot rattled and drifted away.
Bai Zhi looked at Teng Yuyi, and the lady felt as if she was facing a formidable enemy as soon as she entered the forest. Ling didn’t take it seriously, and he must have already left the forest, because at first he could still hear talking, laughing and footsteps not far away, and gradually only the rustling wind remained.
Still water flows deep, the quieter it is, the weirder it is.
After walking for a while, Bai Zhi could not tell the difference between east and west, north and south, Bai Zhi felt hairy on the back of her head, fortunately, she was accompanied by Duanfu, this old slave was sent by the master to the wife since she was three years old, and she was very skilled and loyal. Being sent out by the lady to look for Du Tinglan, and now she followed them into the forest, having him by his side to protect the lady made people feel at ease.
The air is cool and thick, and a bitter smell slowly infiltrates. The further you walk, the more pungent the smell becomes. The three of them were full of doubts, when a woman’s exclamation suddenly came from the forest, and the treetops rustled, as if some huge monster flew overhead.
Bai Zhi felt cold all over her body and tried to protect Teng Yuyi, but Teng Yuyi shouted in a low voice: “Duanfu!”
“Yes!” There was only a sound of clang, the blade of the blade was shimmering coldly, Duan Fu drew it and flew out.
Teng Yuyi raised her skirt and hurriedly chased after her, although the woman’s cry was short, she was clearly her cousin, but just now when the giant passed by, she was so angry that she didn’t know whether it was a human or an animal.
Thousands of thoughts passed through her mind, the murderer would not be the person who sealed the forest, since she wanted to kill someone, why bother to make a big fuss and stop so many carts in public, it would be tantamount to proclaiming to the world that he is the murderer .
From her point of view, the murderer was probably hiding in the dark in the woods. She was very careful after entering the forest because she was afraid of being plotted against. However, the sudden change was even weirder than she expected.
The sharp weapon clanged, and Duanfu had already joined hands with that thing. The weapon he used was made of thousand-year-old black iron that his father obtained when he was guarding the border in Congling.
Teng Yuyi feels at ease, no matter what the murderer is, it is rare for Duanfu to miss.
Bai Zhi was quite frightened, but fortunately the lantern in her hand was not lost, the master and servant ran a few steps, the trembling light and shadow spread forward, and a shadow fell on the ground, vaguely a woman.
Teng Yuyi pulled out the emerald sword in her sleeve, and was about to run to the front, but was held back by a sliver of reason, and stopped to ask Bai Zhi to raise the lantern: “Look who that person is.”
Bai Zhi shivered and illuminated the man.
“Red Slave?”
Hong Nu’s face is like gold paper, but fortunately he still has breath, Teng Yuyi squatted down to check, and asked anxiously, “Where’s my cousin?”
Hong Nu coughed and opened his eyes, his expression was blank for a moment, and he got up in a panic: “My lady! My lady!”
The servant girl was so frightened that Teng Yu was so anxious that she snatched Bai Zhi’s lantern and was about to get up when there was a “bang” behind her, and a heavy object hit the ground. Duan Fu groaned: “My lady Be careful!”
Teng Yuyi’s mind was blank, how could Duanfu miss?
It was too late to turn around, a strange wind rushed from behind, and the wind was wrapped in a thick fragrance of grass and trees.
The pupils of Hong Nu and Bai Zhi suddenly dilated. The thing came too fast. Teng Yuyi tore it in half.
The monster laughed strangely as soon as it succeeded in a blow. Its tone was soft and pleasant, like a woman full of tenderness. Hong Nu and Bai Zhi finally mustered up the courage to step forward to help. Hearing this terrifying laughter, both of them Frightened to the ground.
Duanfu got up and roared, as long as this thing closes its giant claws, the lady will be alive.
Suddenly full of strength for a while, his arm was already broken, but he forcibly held the handle of the knife again, just like this, he rose from the ground and swooped straight like a falcon.
This move has the power to split mountains and rocks, and it will definitely make the flesh of that thing bloom. Unexpectedly, when the knife peak cut down, it was like cutting on a rock. Not even the flesh was cut.
That thing was extremely proud, and its laughter was a little sweeter. At first glance, it sounded like a charming girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old, and vines seemed to grow under its giant claws, slowly stroking Teng Yuyi’s neck.
Duanfu was heartbroken and was about to bump his shoulder, when the silver bell-like laughter in his ear suddenly turned into a distressed scream.
I saw Teng Yuyi holding the emerald sword and stabbing viciously at the strange claw on his shoulder.
Every time it was stabbed, the monster screamed strangely, as if it was suffering from the pain of cutting out its heart, and the scream was extremely shrill.
Duanfu was so shocked that he forgot to stop. Teng Yuyi had long forgotten to be afraid. Before coming here, he had imagined thousands of times in his mind. Perhaps still in this thing’s hands, she strikes hard and fast.
After the tragic death of her cousin in her previous life, her aunt also became ill due to severe injuries. In just half a year, she lost her two most important relatives one after another. It turned out that the disaster was all caused by this monster. Sleep on its skin.
It was not enough to pierce into the flesh, Teng Yuyi grinned grinningly, stirring the tip of the sword back and forth in the back of the monster’s claw like pounding sauce.
The scream of the monster was a little higher, but it was helpless to move, and another heavy object fell to the ground with a “plop”, and the woman’s painful low hum was heard in the dark.
Teng Yuyi felt as if a string had been plucked in her mind.
“Cousin!”
“It’s my cousin! Come on, Duanfu!”
Duanfu didn’t wait for the order, he rolled on the spot when he saw the opportunity, grabbed Du Tinglan in his arms, jumped up and down, and took him away from the monster’s feet.
Teng Yuyi was about to stab again, but just as he was distracted, the strength on his shoulder suddenly lightened, and amidst the screams, the monster tore off its giant claw.
In an instant, the blood flowed like a pillar, and the foul smell rushed straight into the sky.
The monster Qi Qi wailed miserably, like a woman with a heartbroken heart, it climbed high on the treetops, and disappeared into the night in a blink of an eye.
The fire was shining outside the forest, and the sound of footsteps came. Mrs. Du hurried over with her servants, “Lan’er, Yu’er!”
Following them came the group of noble servants who just set up curtains outside the forest.
When everyone saw this situation, they all showed astonishment, they didn’t know what kind of illusion was used by the monster, this earth-shattering fight, the outside of the forest did not hear the slightest sound.
A servant squatted down to pick up the stump of the monster, and it turned into a pile of black powder without looking at it. The man’s face changed: “Quickly go and tell the prince.”
“The prince has just finished the execution, and the key is dropped outside the Moon Lantern Pavilion. There are so many people competing in the arena, how can I send him a message?”
“The Prince of Chun’an is also by the river tonight, why don’t I ask His Royal Highness to find his son, the origin of the monster is unknown, if you let it go, someone will definitely suffer.”
Teng Yuyi was in shock, and hurriedly picked up her cousin to see that she was still unconscious, but fortunately she stopped breathing evenly.
Teng Yuyi’s nose was sore and her eyes were hot. In front of her eyes was a beautiful face full of vitality. It was not the lifeless, swollen and gray face she saw when she came from Yangzhou in her previous life.
For the past few days, she has been trapped in the boat from Yangzhou to Chang’an, planning day and night how to avoid the same tragedy. Now that her cousin is alive in front of her eyes, she feels like she will survive the catastrophe.
Madam Du’s complexion was pale, and she hurriedly pushed aside the maidservant and rushed to her: “What’s the matter?”
Teng Yuyi smelled the familiar incense on her aunt Ru’s clothes, her throat seemed to be stuffed with a ball of cotton, but when she raised her head, she calmly said: “I made an appointment with my cousin to play here, but I ran into something evil.”
Why her cousin left the nunnery is still a mystery to her. There are too many people around, so she has to be cautious.
Mrs. Du’s thoughts turned very fast. Seeing one daughter fainted, the other daughter was terrified. She was frightened for a moment, and hurriedly hugged the two in her arms: “Good boy, don’t be afraid.”
She looked around with lingering fear, and ordered the servants in a few voices: “Hurry up and put your mother on the calf cart, and hurry back to the city to find a medical worker.”
Teng Yuyi is greedy for her aunt’s embrace, but there are still many things to be done at the moment, she got up to check Duanfu’s injuries, only to see that from the right shoulder down, the whole arm was **** and bloody.
Duanfu was still silent, Teng Yuyi was so anxious that he asked the old coachman to help Duanfu: “There is Jinchuang medicine in the car, stop the bleeding first.”
Out of the woods, put Du Tinglan in place, and was about to lift Hong Nu and Bai Zhi to the calf cart, I saw the horse’s hooves kicking up waves of dust, the group of servants just now went back and forth, followed by those in yellow shirts palace man.
This group of people rushed to the front: “May I ask if it is the calf cart from General Teng’s mansion? Come and block the bamboo forest.”
“Prince Chun’an County?” Mrs. Du lifted the curtain. She had noticed that her daughter’s lips were dark, and it was because of her confusion.
“Not only a few people in the mansion, but also a calf car passing by Dong Ming Mansion in Wannian County was also hit by an evil thing, and ordinary medical workers couldn’t see it. It just so happened that the Taoist priest was also playing in Qujiang tonight , The king of the county has already gone to invite the Taoist priest, and let us send the injured person to Ziyun Tower.”
Teng Yuyi’s heart was shocked, and she quickly grabbed Mrs. Du’s hand: “Auntie, follow the instructions of the palace servants and carry the red slave Baizhi into the car.”
The cousins are so angry, and Duanfu’s face is also covered with a cloud of blackness. You don’t need to think about it to know that it has something to do with that monster. If you don’t treat it as soon as possible, your death will only happen overnight.
If she expected correctly, this Taoist priest who can freely enter and exit the Ziyun Tower is precisely the lonely Qingxuzi who is regarded as a mentor by the current Holy Master.
This humanitarian technique is unparalleled in the world.
