Jiaohua

Chapter 231
Duke Ding's Mansion and Duke Zheng's Mansion have been friends for generations, and the two families have had a lot of contacts, so Zhao Mingyue has expressed several times that he wants to marry the two families.

Xia Zhaoyi was the only daughter in the direct branch of the Xia family. Xia Wenshan said that he could not be the master. He promised Xia Zhaoyi's master at the beginning that Xia Zhaoyi's marriage would be happy with Xia Zhaoyi from now on.

This incident caused quite a bit of uproar for a while, how can a daughter's family follow her family's marriage affairs, but it is not so shocking to put it on Miss Xia.

So Zhao Mingyue personally hinted to Xia Zhaoyi again, Xia Zhaoyi tactfully expressed his refusal, but Zhao Mingyue didn't give up, and he mentioned it again after seeing each other, until the chaos in the northern border broke out not long after, the matter was nothing Of.

And Zhao Mingyue wanted Xia Zhaoyi to marry to Zheng Guogong's mansion, that is, to marry the white-clothed man in front of him, the son of Zheng Guogong's mansion, Zhao Gong.

Counting Xia Zhaoyi's age, Zhao Gong must be at least nineteen now. He is not too old, but he is not too young. He has tossed her beautiful yard like this, and she still wears white clothes in the middle of the night. Come here to play the piano, what is this for, is this going to be haunted?

Xia Zhaoyi turned his head to look around, and said, "You don't seem like such a courageous person, there are quite a few of your guards hiding around here."

"Let's not mention my guards first," Zhao Gong frowned slightly, his handsome and clear face showed some displeasure, "You haven't said it yet, how do you know me? Who are you?"

In the dark, the branches are facing the wind, and they move quickly. Although the place has undergone some renovations like pushing the walls down, the specific direction and wind direction have not changed. If you want to hide someone, Xia Zhaoyi knows where it will usually be hidden.

"Answer my words, little girl." Zhao Gong said again.

"En." Xia Zhaoyi replied.

She withdrew her gaze and landed on the man's face.

It's just that in the past two years, his appearance has basically not changed, his eyebrows are beautiful and clean, his eyes are deep and dark when he looks solemn, hiding murderous intentions, and he is presumptuous and calm when he smiles. The completely different temperament is just right for this person.

Everyone in the world can be fooled by his innocent and harmless appearance, only those who get close know how insidious and cunning this person is.

"The old friend of the deceased here," Xia Zhaoyi said, "My name is A Li."

The corners of Zhao Gong's lips curled up into a smile: "I didn't expect you to know my late wife."

Xia Zhaoyi: "???"

"Well," Zhao Gong looked at her expression and smiled lightly, "Seeing that you are still young, how did you meet her? I met her when she was traveling in Jianghu before?"

"I don't remember that she was married," Xia Zhaoyi said.

"How much do you know about her?" Zhao Gong laughed.

Xia Zhaoyi turned around and looked around again, took small steps to walk in the night, and said leisurely: "After the accident in the Xia family, you will occupy this yard for yourself? Are you afraid of being discovered and implicated in Zheng Guogong's mansion?" ? You must have been hurt a lot by the ransacking of Dingguo’s mansion, wasn’t it difficult for you at that time?”

Zhao Gong still had a smile on his lips, and looked at her small figure: "Those troublesome things, don't worry about mentioning them, I have feelings tonight, thinking about my old friend, A Li, I want to hear what kind of person you say she is, I miss her too much, so you tell me something about her, take pity on me."

"Don't test me," Xia Zhaoyi said slowly, "I said she is an old friend, an old friend. As much as you know about her, I know as much, and I must know more than you."

"Oh?"

Xia Zhaoyi stopped and looked back at him: "You sent that person who was hiding in the mansion just now?"

As soon as these words came out, she could clearly see the cold light in his eyes, but Xia Zhaoyi knew that Zhao Gong was not an impatient person, he would not be impatient, and immediately wanted him to hide in the dark The men rushed out.

If his bodyguards are still the same people, Xia Zhaoyi really can't guarantee that he can leave safely today.

"You also went to Yu Mansion?" Zhao Gong asked.

"The Yu Mansion has something to do with the Xia family's accident, isn't it?"

"Why do you care about this?"

Xia Zhaoyi smiled lightly: "Because it's an old friend."

She sat down on a stone bench next to her, and put her cold fingers on her knees casually. The night was chilly. She didn't shrink back. She sat upright with her small body. Looking at Zhao Gong, she continued: "Don't speculate and suspect me Who is behind me, I am alone, and besides, I am sure you have heard my name in the past month, speaking of which, what I did in Peifeng also helped you Duke Zheng's mansion."

"Yes, I have to thank the girl for this matter." Zhao Gong said, the coldness on his face receded a little, and a smile appeared again.

Xia Zhaoyi also smiled, and then said softly: "Zhao Gong, I have never quite understood why the emperor wanted to attack Duke Dingguo's mansion. I have seen a lot, heard a lot, and thought a lot these days. I'm thinking maybe there's no particular reason."

Zhao Gong smiled lowly and said, "You don't even know how Dingguo's mansion was convicted, so you want to take care of it?"

"The world is going to be chaotic, the emperor wants to stabilize people's hearts. If you are safe, you are also safe to kill. Our emperor is a cruel person. In his opinion, appeasing the heroes may not be as useful as killing chickens and monkeys. Duke Ding of the Xia family and The eldest son is gone, leaving only a seriously injured general and a child under ten years old, this is indeed the best target." Xia Zhaoyi said.

"I don't know." Zhao Gong shook his head.

"Look, I can kill even such a big hero, what else can I dare not do." Xia Zhaoyi laughed.

Zhao Gong smiled again, and looked at her: "You little girl, what do you know?"

A few fallen leaves were brought down by the rushing wind, Xia Zhaoyi raised his head and looked at the branches, and said calmly: "There are a total of fourteen large barracks in Dagan, and apart from these barracks, the noble families also have their own troops. , the more troubled the world is, the more he will not obey orders, so being a benevolent king is not as intimidating as being a tyrant. If a king wants to stand up, he must see blood, and killing innocent people indiscriminately is not acceptable. Excuses, the crimes laid out one after another by Dingguo Mansion must have been carefully planned."

Zhao Gong still wanted to laugh, but couldn't.

He looked at this little girl, because her face was covered with a layer of cloth, so the focus of his vision fell on her eyebrows and eyes.

She raised her head and looked at the eyes above, which were very bright, like a puddle of water, and the broken hair on her forehead was blown away by the cold wind, white and smooth.

She was very serious, and when she said these words, her tone was very quiet, but her words seemed to be filled with sadness.Maybe it was because the night was too dark and he was too sleepy, he felt in a trance that her voice seemed to float out of the long and ancient time and space, falling on the cold mountains and clear fields, light and heavy at the same time.
