Chapter 160 The Mysterious Enemy
Chapter 160 The Mysterious Enemy
In the morning of the second day, because Zhou Xianyu made a lot of noise last night, plus I was shocked and frightened, because Xiao Jinxuan's complexion was very ugly this morning, and she was in a daze, unable to move for a long time Up and down.
As for Wen Xin and the others, regarding the changes in Xiao Jinxuan's room last night and the drinks all over the floor, after silently cleaning them up, they all tacitly kept silent.
Seeing Xiao Jinxuan holding the book, half a stick of incense passed without turning a page. Zhu Xin, who was by her side, couldn't bear to read it anymore, and immediately said aloud:
"Miss, if you have any unpleasantness in your heart, you can say it. You can't be so bored. If you really can't stand it, let's go to the garden to relax, or just go out for a stroll. You didn't say it a while ago. Tianxizhai’s snacks are delicious, why don’t I accompany you to taste them yourself.”
Xiao Jinxuan looked like she was reading a book, but her mind was full of Zhou Xianyu's figure. Thinking of the intimate behavior between the two of them last night, she couldn't help being flustered so badly that even her palms were slightly sweaty.
In fact, she really resented Zhou Xianyu's frivolity last night, but it was more because they were too close to each other and felt uneasy.
Thinking that if Zhou Xianyu might be in danger because of being close to her, she panicked in her heart. This kind of feeling of being in love but not being able to love, of letting go but always being bound, really tormented her .
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Jinxuan put down the book and thought for a while, ready to accept Zhu Xin's proposal, thinking that going out for a walk was better than staying still and thinking wildly.
After making up her mind, Xiao Jinxuan was going to leave the mansion with Zhuxin Baishu. As for Wenxin, she left the mansion early in the morning to purchase the daily necessities of the Forsythia Courtyard, so this meeting was not in the yard.
After Xiao Jinxuan got dressed, because Bai Shu didn't like to go out and had to send supplements to Shen Shi, only Zhu Xin accompanied her out of the house in the end.
Because it was for relaxation, this time Xiao Jinxuan didn't take the carriage at all, and walked out of the handsome mansion directly, and walked towards the lively East Street.
As soon as the master and the servant came to the bustling and bustling market, Xiao Jinxuan's attention was quickly distracted by the dazzling array of groceries around her, and she really wasn't as upset as before. .
After strolling around for a while, Xiao Jinxuan not only watched the performances of street performers for a long time, but also bought a lot of novelty gadgets, and then went straight to Tianxi Zhai with Zhu Xin, ready to eat some cakes to rest, after all, after walking for so long, Both of them were a little tired.
Asking for a private room with a good location and windows facing the street, Xiao Jinxuan ordered three pastries she liked, and then asked Zhu Xin to order two, and then drank tea and waited quietly for the pastries to be served.
This Tianxi Zhai is very famous in the capital, as long as it mentions pastries, it is definitely the most delicious.
Especially the crystal hibiscus cake in this store, which is definitely the most famous among many signature dim sums.
Xiao Jinxuan also likes this kind of dessert the most. This crystal hibiscus cake is not only shaped like a lotus flower, but also crystal clear and beautiful.
Hold up the crystal cake, and when it shines against the sun, the whole lotus flower is completely transparent like a crystal, so this cake not only tastes good, but also looks at its appearance, which is a kind of enjoyment.
It didn't take much effort, when Xiao Jinxuan and Zhu Xin were arranging the things they bought today into categories, suddenly the door of the private room was pushed in, and then the waiter put the things they ordered on the dining table one by one .
Xiao Jinxuan, who was concentrating on arranging small things, was shocked because the little girl came in without knocking on the door, but she has never been a hypocritical person, so she didn't care about it.
And after the little second hand quickly set up the dessert plate, he lowered his head, bowed and said politely:
"Girls, please use it slowly. If you need anything else, just ask. The little one won't disturb the two of you."
Seeing that Xiao Er was about to leave, Zhu Xin took out two pieces of silver from his purse, and then gave it to the Xiao Er. The other party thanked him a thousand times, and then retreated graciously, and closed the door of the private room silently. All right.
After following Xiao Jinxuan for a long time, Zhuxin is no longer the wild girl Zhuzi in the small mountain village next to Meizhuang.Sophisticated people, talking and doing things, these things, now Zhu Xin can do them with ease, and gradually he can stand on his own.
Naturally, Xiao Jinxuan didn't need to worry about these rewards, so she had already picked up a piece of crystal cake and put it into her mouth lightly.
After only taking two bites, Xiao Jinxuan frowned slightly, glanced at Zhu Xin who was eating with satisfaction, and asked suspiciously:
"Zhu Xin, what do you think of the taste of this dim sum today? It's different from the previous ones. Have you tried it yet?"
Hearing this, Bamboo Heart, who was stuffing half a piece of red bean cake into her mouth, couldn't speak because her mouth was too full, so she could only open her eyes and shook her head vigorously, which meant that she didn't think there was anything wrong with it. What a difference.
Seeing this, Xiao Jinxuan put down the crystal cake that she had only eaten a little, and then she picked up another soft peach cake that she also likes very much on weekdays, biting a little and savoring it carefully.
But then she shook her head again, obviously she still felt that the taste was not right, then she picked up a piece of red bean cake, nibbled it and tasted it.
After she swallowed the sweet, glutinous and crispy pastries, Xiao Jinxuan nodded and said:
"This plate of red bean cakes tastes the same as before, but the kinds of dim sum I want don't taste right. Anyway, they are not as delicious as before."
Hearing this, Zhu Xin hurriedly took a sip of tea, and after swallowing all the snacks in her mouth, she stretched out her hand to pick up a piece of crystal cake, took two bites, and said doubtfully:
"Miss, I don't think there's anything wrong with eating, but you've always been very sensitive to the taste. Maybe Tianxizhai has changed the master chef. Anyway, the servants think it's good to eat."
Xiao Jinxuan has always been particularly sensitive to the taste of food because of serving tea all the year round and being proficient in medicinal food in her previous life.
As long as it is something she has eaten, she will never forget the taste.And if the taste changed a little bit, as long as she tasted it, she would be able to detect it immediately.
After eating three pieces of ormosin in a row, Xiao Jinxuan stopped eating anything.
And Zhu Xin saw that the cakes on this table were going to be wasted, so she immediately didn't care about it, and directly picked up the most expensive snacks in it, and ate them all.
Waiting quietly for Zhuxin to finish eating, Xiao Jinxuan kept Wenxin and Baishu in mind, went to the counter and ordered several kinds of pastries, paid the silver and took the packaged snacks, and walked out of Tianxi Zhai.
It was already noon, and the sun was very hot. Xiao Jinxuan, the master and the servant, saw sweat not long after walking, especially Zhu Xin, maybe because of eating too many snacks, the whole person was sweating profusely and drowsy .
After walking for a while, Zhu Xin couldn't hold on and said: "Miss, I can't walk anymore, let's call a carriage, I'm really sleepy."
Once this person is full, it is common for him to feel sleepy, Xiao Jinxuan smiled helplessly, and had no choice but to agree in a compromise.
And just at this moment, a carriage passed by by chance, Xi's Zhu Xin hurriedly stopped the driver, asked the price and paid the money, she didn't care about Xiao Jinxuan, and got into the carriage first.
Xiao Jinxuan, who never had so many rules, got into the carriage without paying attention, but after she lifted the curtain and entered, she realized that Zhu Xin was snoring and had fallen asleep.
Zhu Xin has a quick personality and is by no means a sleepy person, so seeing things is too abnormal, and no matter how sleepy a person is, it is impossible for him to fall asleep when he collapses.
Suddenly a strong anxiety flashed in her heart, Xiao Jinxuan leaned half of her body into the carriage, and was about to back out immediately.
But at this moment, the coachman who had been silent all this time stretched out his hand and pushed her suddenly, without giving Xiao Jinxuan a chance to react, he forced her into the carriage.
Then he raised his whip, and with the master and servant in the carriage, he drove the carriage into the alley next to him.
Xiao Jinxuan is not a red spirit, so after being pushed into the carriage, she was dizzy and dizzy, and when she regained her strength, she couldn't jump out of the speeding carriage.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Jinxuan immediately took off the bracelet from her hand and threw it out along the window, followed by the ring, the necklace, and the hairpin.
Anyway, as long as it was something that could be thrown away, Xiao Jinxuan would throw it out immediately after the carriage drove forward for a while, and after about half a stick of incense, the car slowly stopped.
Xiao Jinxuan took a deep breath and told herself to keep calm. Just when she was looking for a chance to escape, the driver outside threw the curtain, and then mercilessly pulled Xiao Jinxuan's sleeve, and dragged her out forcibly. compartment.
Regardless of the severe pain in her arm, Xiao Jinxuan stared at the driver in front of her, but because the driver was wearing a straw straw hat, her face could not be seen clearly at all.
"Who are you, and what is your intention to bring me here?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man dressed as a coachman chuckled a few times, and said in a tone full of hatred:
"If you want to know who I am, you should ask Hades when you die. You just need to know that I was entrusted by someone to kill you. Cut the nonsense and let me send you on your way as soon as possible. "
As soon as he finished speaking, the driver pulled out a sharp dagger from his waist, and then raised the knife to stab Xiao Jinxuan in the heart.
Seeing that her life was in danger, Xiao Jinxuan was unable to break free at all. Just when she thought she was going to die this time, suddenly at the entrance of the crooked alley, a woman's trembling cry came.
"You villain, quickly put down the knife. If Miss Jinxuan is killed by you, I will call for help immediately, and then you don't even want to run away."
Hearing these words, both Xiao Jinxuan and the coachman hurriedly looked at the person who spoke, and saw that Gu Qingge had come here at some point. As for the words just now, she was naturally the one who yelled them out.
The coachman secretly hated Lu Qingge for being troublesome, but now the two of them are too far away. If he kills Xiao Jinxuan, he will not be able to subdue Lu Qingge in an instant. As long as the other party has a chance to call for help, his situation will be very serious. Dangerous.
After all, this place is at the foot of the Son of Heaven, and there are countless soldiers patrolling the city. As long as there is a slight movement, the whole city will be arrested in an instant. At that time, let alone a living person, even a bird will be hard to fly.
Therefore, the coachman gave Xiao Jinxuan a reluctant look, then turned the other side towards the carriage, and pushed him hard, but he turned over the low wall next to the alley and disappeared instantly.
But the other party's voice came from the other side of the wall: "Xiao Jinxuan, see you next time, when I will take your life."
Xiao Jinxuan who was pushed staggered, and when she stood up again, no matter whether it was the figure or the voice of the coachman, they had all disappeared.
