Exclusive golden branch

Chapter 386: Before the Mountain (6K+)

The Yang family's ancestor's house is brightly lit, and the Linshui Garden where Dali lives daily is full of everything from stewards to guards.Almost everyone had a look of anxiety on their faces.

"Hasn't Madam come back yet?" When the servant rushed in from the door, before the servant could speak, the steward spoke first.

It's just that as soon as these words came out, the servant didn't answer as usual, but opened his mouth, and gestured behind him with a subtle expression.

Behind... Seeing this, the steward couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and instinctively raised his head to look behind the servant. The old lady who was supported by Xiu'er stepped into the door with a cold face.

The old lady is old, and she has always been very particular about rest. In the past, the old lady had already gone to bed at this time, but today...

The steward consciously realized what the problem was, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute the old lady, said "acknowledgement" and then explained: "The old lady is resting, I am waiting for the second lady..."

"Is it true that you are old and confused?" Mrs. Yang, who was usually angry and caring about her status, suddenly interrupted the steward, sneered, and narrowed her triangular eyes slightly to look at the people gathered here: Well, very good!Whether it's the steward or the guards who come here, they are the most useful people in this house every day, but those who don't need it so much don't gather here.

This vixen's manpower has already spread all over the Yang family's backyard.

"Is it true that my Yang family's house is the prostitute's backyard?" The dragon-headed cane in Mrs. Yang's hand hit the ground heavily, and she sneered when she saw the steward and guard whose expression changed slightly after she said this. , the mouth seemed to be scolding and also seemed to be a warning: "The owner of my Yang family's house is the eldest daughter-in-law, and that idiot will definitely not be that whore!"

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the steward and the others turned pale, and someone opened their mouths, as if they wanted to say something, but Mrs. Yang had already called "Xiu'er" at this moment, and Xiu'er immediately responded when she heard the words. He took out a letter from his arms and spread it out in front of everyone.

"Yan'er already knows what this prostitute is doing. If anyone in this house insists on letting a prostitute be his master, then come and tell Lao Shen, and Lao Shen will send you to reunite with that prostitute! "Removing the disguise of being "old and weak", Mrs. Yang, who was leaning on a dragon's head and crutches, looked a little more chilling for no reason.

The steward was in a daze, as if he didn't remember Mrs. Yang's uncompromising appearance when she was in charge of the back house until now.

Prostitute... These words are really ugly, but no one can find any faults. The second lady's past is indeed too black to be cleared up.

Mrs. Yang looked at the innocence-looking stewards and guards in front of her, paused, snorted coldly, and said, "Okay, let's not let people rest at night? I have to go to Xiangxiang early in the morning. Yuansi, if you make trouble again, I will let the old man go to Shanyang Manor to look at the house!"

After saying this, she looked coldly at the steward and several guards gathered here, and Mrs. Yang asked Xiu'er to help her to leave.

After Mrs. Yang left, a few guards with blank faces couldn't help but ask the steward: "Steward, so, we..."

"Turn out the lights first!" said the steward, with a strange and delicate expression: the old lady will never act first, so the adults must agree to do it.It's no wonder that these servants follow the second wife's lead, it is indeed the way adults have shown that they really value the second wife in the past.

Although the old lady has a noble status, the real master of this house is the adults, so naturally the meaning of the adults is more important.But I didn't expect that the adults who still valued the second wife so much when they were in Jiangnan Road changed their minds before the second wife got old and faded.

Eh!I thought that adults are different from those ordinary men in the world, but unexpectedly, he is also a beautiful woman who likes the new and dislikes the old.

Eh, no!If she wasn't pretty, how could she have fallen in love with the second lady back then?
The more the steward thought about it, the weirder his expression became: it seemed that this incident tonight had completely torn off the mask of a saint who was once a saint in his heart.

My lord... is just an ordinary man in this world!
The steward sighed as he thought about it, and after all the extra lanterns around him were extinguished and the surrounding area became dark, he suddenly got a jolt, remembering what the old lady said just now.

"...The old man will send you to reunite with that prostitute..." The steward murmured and repeated the old lady's words, cold sweat was already spreading all over his forehead before he knew it.

What does the old lady mean by this?Could it be... Thinking of this, the steward was taken aback, but shook his head immediately: No, the lord only allowed the old lady to teach the wife a lesson, but did not allow her to kill.

What's more, what's more, the old lady is not a lady, and the old lady might not dare to do such a thing as murder.

……

Mrs. Yang never thought about killing people, but arresting people was on her mind from the very beginning.

It was still an appointment to meet at Xiangyuan Temple, but there were not as many guards as usual, and the hands and feet were bound. Today, Mrs. Yang has a bit more unspeakable confidence to the naked eye, and even her walking movements have become more confident.

It's just... still very hypocritical.

Mother Chun looked at Mrs. Yang who walked in, and before Mother Chun could speak, Mrs. Yang spoke up first.

"That bitch has already been imprisoned in Sanyang Manor?"

Chun's mother's face changed when she heard the words, she moved her lips, but she didn't answer her immediately, she just raised her eyes and glanced at her secretly.

Mrs. Yang, who was in a good mood at first, turned cold when she saw this guilty and anxious look, and immediately asked sharply, "Did you not do such a small thing well?"

Just after asking this question, Mrs. Yang sensed that something was wrong. Dali did not come home last night, and even the guards did not come back.

A bad feeling arises spontaneously.

Mrs. Yang hurriedly asked sharply: "What about the bitch?"

Mother Chun looked at Mrs. Yang dully, and said nervously, "No... I don't know, she escaped."

escaped?Mrs. Yang, who originally thought that there was something wrong with Chun's mother, was taken aback when she heard the words, and looked at Chun's mother in surprise: "What do you mean?"

Mother Chun, who had told the "truth", was a little better than she was before, so she opened her mouth to explain.

"Those guards were taken care of by the people I found. I originally thought that Dali, a weak woman, would be helpless, and she would obediently submit to such a situation, but I didn't expect..."

Before Mama Chun could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Mrs. Yang with an ugly face. She pointed at Mama Chun's head and cursed without any explanation: "Are you stupid? That bitch is very treacherous. Look at her whole body. Where does Shang Xia have anything to do with the word 'weak woman'?"

Chun's mother murmured: "The outer skin! Otherwise, how could Master Yang take a fancy to it?"

These words successfully choked Mrs. Yang: the old bustard's words made her unable to think of anything to refute for a moment.

Being able to be a vixen, there is naturally no problem with the outer skin.

"My Yan'er was just confused for a while." Mrs. Yang coughed, with a straight face, she revealed the words, and continued to ask Mother Chun, "How did she escape?"

Upon hearing this, Mother Chun quickly lifted up her two sleeves, and then pointed to one of the sleeves to show Mrs. Yang, "This one has an arrow crossbow tied inside, which is poisonous." After saying this, she pointed to the other sleeve, Said, "This one has poison powder hidden in it."

Having said all this, Chun's mother still had a look of lingering fear on her face: "She is not only poisoned in her heart, but also poisoned in her body. My people were almost not killed by her poison. After putting the poison, she seemed to run away. ran up that mountain."

Mother Chun said through the window on the side, pointing outside, said: "Here, it's on that mountain, and then ran towards Jiulongling."

Such a poisonous "weak woman" is really hard to guard against, Mrs. Yang snorted angrily when she heard the words: "Then look for it!"

She is not worried about Dali's safety.After all, that woman is very delicate, except for the sleeves, who knows if there is anything else hidden on her body.What's more, the mountains in Jiangnan Road are no more towering than those in the north, nor are they full of poisonous snakes and ants than those in the southwest.

The mountains from the south of the Yangtze River to this area have already been visited by people for outings, and most of them are not dangerous.

I heard that Dali was able to escape back to Jiangnan Road alone in troubled times when she did something immoral. What should such a "weak woman" have to worry about?
No, still worried.But he was not worried about her safety, but because he was afraid that something bad would happen if she ran back.

Although she felt that Dali was tricky when she was in the back house, Mrs. Yang didn't think it was a tricky thing for Mama Chun to deal with Dali as a bustard.

"It's just a weak woman, why are you so useless?" Mrs. Yang pointed at Chun's mother angrily and scolded, "Hurry up and find it! If you can't find anything wrong, you, the first one to come forward, will suffer!"

Mother Chun: "..." It's really that old Mrs. Yang, who is familiar with "I want the horse to run, but also want the horse not to eat grass". Why don't you do it yourself when it's so simple?

Dali was surrounded by the guards of the Langtou camp, if she had listened to Mrs. Yang, it would be an easy thing to believe, she and her staff would have confessed to her.

Fortunately, it was not me who actually did this, but Miss Jiang Si.Chun's mother twitched the corners of her mouth, secretly rolled her eyes, and said "yes".

Seeing the dissatisfaction of the old bustard, Mrs. Yang didn't take it seriously: the old bustard didn't dare to act recklessly, after all Dali came back to her senses, the first one to deal with was the old bustard.

What's so hard about finding someone?In the final analysis, these people are always thinking about stealing and playing tricks.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Yang couldn't help snorting, and said to Chun's mother: "Without her now, I have to tidy up the back house these days, so I don't have time to chat with you, there is only one thing you have to remember... "

When Chun's mother heard the words, she immediately put on a look of vigilance, and said respectfully: "Please tell me, old lady." But even though she was listening attentively, she was muttering in her heart: This old lady only cares about her headache. Hidden illness, I guess there is nothing else to do.

Sure enough, seeing that she was honest and obedient, she listened seriously, Mrs. Yang showed satisfaction, and said, "Let that Sun Gan study the medicine to cure the old man's hidden headache, and when he gets the medicine, he will send someone to find me. "

When Chun's mother heard the words, she nodded quickly and said "yes".

This old madam really had a good plan from the beginning to the end, she was the one who dealt with Dali, and she was the one who helped run errands to find medicine, but she did almost nothing, the only thing she did was to tell her business.

However, this matter was told in a very "sloppy" way, and it didn't tell the whole story. If it weren't for Miss Jiang Si and other semi-"magic sticks" like characters, she wouldn't know anything about the salt merchant!

Just complaining in my heart, thinking that this opportunity to catch Dali and arrange Xiao Xuebai to do Dali's business is thanks to this old woman, Chun's mother still complied respectfully.

After she answered, the old lady quickly asked Xiu'er to support her and left after explaining the matter. After staying in the same room with this bustard for a long time, it was really hard to breathe.

Mother Chun made a grimace at Mrs. Yang's leaving back, and when she got back, she told her about her meeting with Mrs. Yang today.

There was nothing unexpected, what the old lady said and did was within Miss Jiang Si's expectations.

When she returned, Jiang Shaoyan was packing her luggage, presumably she was going to go far... Oh, close door, she wanted to go to Jiulongling with Prince Ji to "help" the holy meaning of the Holy Taoism.

It is really rare that the "leader" and the "holy son" go to fight for the "orthodoxy of Holy Taoism" in person!
Mother Chun closed her eyes and talked about the process of meeting Mrs. Yang, then she heard Jiang Shaoyan, who was checking the homemade arrow crossbow in her hand, "hmm", then turned around and looked at the screen, and said, "Xiangli, put the Dali "Bring it out!"

This "Dali" refers to which Chun's mother certainly knows: her little Xuebai!Although she had already seen Xiao Xuebai dressed up as a Dali, when Xiao Xuebai came out from behind the screen supported by Xiangli and appeared in the sight of Chun's mother, Chun's mother still exclaimed in shock.

"My dear daughter, how did you become like this?"

The "messy" half of her face in front of her is her top card, Xiao Xuebai?Chun's mother covered her mouth and exclaimed, and instinctively stretched out her hand to touch Xiao Xuebai's face.

"Mom, don't touch it!" Xiaoxuebai dodged aside, avoiding Chun's mother's touch, touched the "mess" on her face, and said dissatisfiedly, "Miss Jiang Si helped me paste it, and I have to re-paste it after I get it off." !"

Having said all this, Xiao Xuebai couldn't help but get excited: "I haven't tried this before, it's quite interesting, hehe!"

Mother Chun: "..." This girl is so stupid, what's the difference between being like this and being "disfigured"?
What I want is such a "disfigurement"!
"Your people will find Dali in two days. She accidentally stepped on the ground and fell into the thorn bushes while fleeing in a hurry, and she became like this." Jiang Shaoyan pointed to Xiaoxuebai and said.

It turned out to be "falling into the thorn bush", no wonder it became like this.Chun's mother moved her lips, looked at Xiao Xuebai who was looking in the mirror with a messy and excited face, and couldn't help but twitch her mouth: she really has a big heart... But thinking of Xiao Xuebai's experience when she was young, Chun's mother Still couldn't help but let out a faint sigh, it's rare for her conscience to realize that she sighed: it's not a bad thing for Xiaoxuebai to have a big heart and not remember things.

but……

"Dali, that fox spirit loves beauty very much, she must not want to see people after becoming like this." Chun's mother was a little puzzled about Jiang Shaoyan's reason for doing this.

"It's right if you don't want to see people." The girl checked the mechanical arrow crossbow in her hand and put it away, and put a veiled bamboo hat on the table on Xiao Xuebai's head, "Dali became this She looks like she doesn't want to see people, and she doesn't want others to get close to her, if that's the case, those who are familiar with her can't get close to her, so Xiao Xuebai can do a better job of being a dali."

Although Xiao Xuebai's aptitude is not bad, but she is not very talented, so she needs some "assistances" to pretend to be a dali without being noticed.

"She is such a beauty-loving person. After becoming like this, her temperament will definitely change drastically. It will make sense that she will be slightly different from the previous Dali." Jiang Shaoyan took out a white jade porcelain bottle from her bosom and handed it to Xiao Xue Bai, "One every three days, you are Dali."

Taking the white jade porcelain bottle, Xiao Xuebai opened it and poured out one without even thinking about it, swallowed it like a sugar pill, and then said: "Jiang Sixiao..."

Nuo's somewhat cold and greasy voice rushed towards her face, and Mother Chun shivered subconsciously, and blurted out: "Dali..."

Xiao Xuebai, who had just said a few words in that room, was also taken aback, stretched out her hand to cover her lips, her eyes widened in surprise.

But this surprise was only for a moment, Xiaoxue Baixuan even exclaimed happily: "Even the voice can be changed, Miss Jiang Si is so amazing!"

Saying this in Dali's voice, Mother Chun touched her goosebumped arm and looked at Jiang Shaoyan.

Jiang Shaoyan didn't have any big reaction to this, she just smiled when she heard the words, and waved to Xiao Xuebai, signaling her to come over.

Xiao Xuebai hurriedly nodded, and excitedly ran to Jiang Shaoyan's side and called excitedly: "Miss Jiang Si."

"How should I recite what I have to say when I face those people?" Jiang Shaoyan asked her.

Xiao Xuebai nodded.

"What should I do if I encounter something out of the situation?" Jiang Shaoyan asked her again.

"Throw something and let them go!" Xiao Xuebai said triumphantly, "Anyway, Dali, I'm in a bad mood, and I should be angry or something."

now it's right.Jiang Shaoyan nodded and looked at her sleeve: "Have you put everything inside?"

Xiao Xuebai quickly said "Mmm" when she heard the words, and raised her sleeves to show Jiang Shaoyan: "Miss Jiang Si, here, they are all tied up in the sleeves!"

In one sleeve is an empty arrow mechanism, in the other sleeve is poison powder.

Mother Chun, who was watching with such a well-prepared posture, couldn't help swallowing her saliva, and looked at Jiang Shaoyan who was asking Xiaoxue's vernacular, and the suspicion in her eyes became more and more obvious: "Miss Jiang Si, this Dali is so well-prepared. How did you avoid her poisonous hands?"

Jiang Shaoyan glanced at her and said lightly, "I know medicine and can make arrows and crossbows."

Mother Chun: "..." Oh, that's quite a coincidence, Dali's ability to calculate people happens to be what Miss Jiang Si is good at.

"Okay, after two days, go and tell Mrs. Yang that you have found Dali, but Dali hurt her face, her temperament has changed drastically, and she is a bit irritating."

"Lady Yang will tell you how to arrange for Dali." Jiang Shaoyan paused for a while, then said suddenly, "I don't know how long it will take to go to Jiulongling with my son, so I said hello to Lin Shaoqing He takes care of the two of you, and when he encounters really difficult things, he will go to Lin Shaoqing for help, understand?"

Mother Chun nodded, and the stone that was quietly mentioned in her heart fell to the ground again: I know that Miss Jiang Si is much more reliable than Mrs. Yang, and even the unexpected things have been arranged properly.

In this way, she was completely relieved.

"Miss Jiang Si, be careful when you go to Jiulongling." Mother Chun rarely said "yes" sincerely, paused, and said bitterly, "After all, they are all Taoist priests. Cursing or something, it's scary!"

Although Miss Jiang Si is a bit like a "half magic stick", she still needs to be careful when meeting a real Taoist priest.

Calling the wind and rain and casting spells?Jiang Shaoyan couldn't help but sneered slightly when she heard the words, "Who is the person Chun's mother listens to? Why don't you recommend it?"

Chun's mother said: "It's in the script."

Jiang Shaoyan: "..."

After shaking her head and laughing twice, the girl stood up and turned her head, waved her hand to Mother Chun, and said solemnly: "Okay, I will leave the matter outside Jiulongling to you for the time being! Qian San, Xiang Li and Xiao Wu are all here , If you need help, you can go to them."

Mother Chun was a bit surprised when she heard this: "Miss Jiang Si didn't bring Xiao Wu up the mountain?"

"Can pinch and count" versus "call the wind and call the rain", it is not a battle between ordinary people.That being the case, wouldn't it be more important to be a guard who can jump up and down like this with Xiao Wu?
"No need, too many people are inconvenient." The girl shook her head when she heard the words, and smiled at Chun's mother, "Besides, it's not that the more people, the better."

Sometimes the more people there are, the more difficult it is to make the other party feel relieved, thinking that...

"It's just the two of us. One is an ordinary weak woman and the other is a dude. Such two people make them despise them and expose them in front of the two of us." Ji Chongyan, who was packing his luggage, shook his head at Lin Yan, Dao said, "Although our trip is called going up the mountain to seek wealth, it is not really for the sake of wealth."

With a large number of people and horses, the other party does not do anything, even if you are sure in your heart that there is something wrong with the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple on the mountain, it is futile without evidence.

Lin Yan: "..."

So these two people are going to use their bodies as bait to lure those people back?

However, Miss Jiang Si and Chongyan are two people: one is very proficient in medicine and medicine, and the other is very skilled in medicine, and the other is very skillful, and the other looks like a dude, but possesses martial arts.

The best hunters in this world often appear in the form of prey, Lin Yan chuckled, he believed that the methods of these two people were just...

"Be careful in everything!" Lin Yan solemnly exhorted.

Ji Chongyan said "Yes", nodded, and said to Lin Yan before leaving the door: "The reception and deployment under the mountain are all entrusted to you."

Lin Yan replied solemnly: "You can rest assured!"

That's all right, Ji Chongyan nodded, and stepped out of the door.

Only when he could no longer see Ji Chongyan's back, Lin Yan sighed, rubbed the center of his brows, and thought: The "master" and "holy son" of the Holy Taoism are going to go up the mountain to learn the true origin of the Holy Taoism!
