I see You Lian is the ally

Chapter 22

Huajiao hastily lowered his head.

The candlelight in the wall lamp on the corridor emits a flickering and faint light, which is reflected on the face of the painting corner.

Looking back and lowering the head when the veil is dropped, it is like Utan who blooms in an instant and withers in an instant, and is the only surprise in the dark night.

Pei Ruji's dark pupils lit up for a moment, and then quickly turned into darkness.

Hua Jiao was afraid that Pei Ruji would see his face clearly, so he hung his head and wanted to leave.

"Little lady, go slowly!" Pei Ruji glanced at the veil hanging on the shoulder pads, raised his hand to take it off, walked to the corner of the painting, and handed it over, "Do you want your veil?"

Hua Jiao didn't dare to look up at him, but lowered his head and reached out to meet him.

It's not because he's afraid that the marriage will fail, but because he's afraid that after he sees her face, if he meets her in the future, he will know that she is working as an oiran in the Liang Pavilion, and her reputation will be bad.

Although she didn't care too much, after all she was not a real lady of the family, but in Lan'an City, she still had to take care of her father's face, otherwise, the old man's coffin might not be able to hold her down.

Pei Ruji looked down at Huajiao, and when her hand was about to touch the veil, she suddenly raised her eyebrows, and withdrew her hand with an ouch.

"This veil seems to be broken by my shoulder pads. How about that? Why don't I pay the young lady for a new one?" Pei Ruji said slowly with a lazy smile on his lips.

Huajiao raised his eyebrows imperceptibly, and said politely and distantly: "Little General Pei, you don't have to be polite, but a piece of veil, if it breaks, it will break, and it's not worth any money. There is no need for compensation. General, please return it to me."

Pei Ruji frowned.

He has two long and black sword eyebrows, and when he frowns lightly, he becomes more upright and awe-inspiring.

"I remember that in the murder case that happened in Chongren Square a few days ago, the perpetrator was a young lady, could it be you?" Pei Ruji paused, and ordered the guards beside him, "Take it down!"

Hua Jiao was taken aback, and couldn't help raising his eyes to glance at him, but when he realized it, it was too late, he had already looked at his face.

Pei Ruji's line of sight met the corner of the painting. It was only a glimpse just now. At this time, his eyes lingered on the face of the corner of the painting for a moment. He raised his hand to stop the imperial army, and laughed loudly: "Little lady shrinks her head and tail like this. I thought you were some kind of murderer, for fear of being recognized by me, but it turns out that you are not."

Hua Jiao simply stared at him frankly, with a light smile on his face, and stretched out his hand to him: "General Pei, my veil."

Pei Ruzhi focused his eyes slightly and asked, "Are you sure you don't want me to pay?"

At first, Pei Ruji really suspected that there was a reason why Hua Jiao didn't dare to let him see her face.

When he saw her face clearly, he felt puzzled again, because her face was extremely strange and he had never seen it before.

It's not that he, Pei Ruji, is arrogant, a young general like him is the dream lover of so many young ladies in Lan'an.This brothel woman just avoided him, but she didn't let him lose her veil.

One compensation, one free, you come and go, isn't this their usual trick?Or is she trying to do the opposite, playing hard to get?

However, no matter what it was, Pei Ruji hated it.

Hua Jiao didn't know what Pei Ruji was thinking, and stretched out his hand waiting for him to return the veil.

Pei Ruji raised his eyebrows, and threw the veil towards the corner of the painting casually.

Hua Jiao hurriedly raised his hand to grab it, thanked him softly, and left.However, after walking a few steps, Nongying walked slowly.

"Huajiao, you're here, it's easy for me to find you." Nongying said affectionately, as if she and Huajiao were good sisters.

Hua Jiao stopped in her tracks. The original plan was to let her leave the Tingyun Building and go to the bamboo forest in the back garden.Yu Taiqing has already set up a formation there, just wait for the monster to chase her and catch the turtle in the urn.

No one expected that Pei Ruji would appear halfway, and after such a delay, the monster chased after him.

Hua Jiao stopped in his tracks and said with a smile, "Sister, are you looking for me for something?"

Before Nongying could speak, Qian Dalang, who was captured by the forbidden army, called out happily: "Nongying, why did you come out? But you came to see me? Don't worry, I'll be fine. At most, I'll pay some fines. I'll come find you again in a few days."

Nongying didn't even look at Qian Dalang, glanced at the flower crown on Huajiao's head, and said with a smile, "Sister Huajiao, who gave you the silk flowers?"

A demon cared so much about the corolla, and even inquired about the person who supported her.

Huajiao rolled his eyes, pulled his lips and smiled softly, looked at Nongying and said slowly, "Guess!"

Nongying looked at Hua Jiao expectantly, choked when he heard the words, and raised his eyebrows angrily.

Huajiao left the Tingyun Tower by himself.

Nongying chased after him like a shadow.

Qian Dalang didn't get any response to his enthusiasm, and lowered his head dejectedly.Pei Ru stared at the backs of the two of them, his eyes flickered slightly.

******
The night was dark, and the wind lanterns hanging under the eaves fluttered in the night wind, and the reflected light also flickered.

Huajiao stepped down the steps with her skirt on, walked quickly along the path, and passed through a moon gate to the back garden.

Nongying didn't get an answer from Huajiao's mouth, so naturally he chased after him, and soon chased Huajiao through the Moon Gate.

In the back garden, a lantern is hung on the tree every few steps, which is not as dark as it used to be.Nongying looked at Huajiao's back in resentment, and a thick mist suddenly rose from his body.

"It's okay if you don't say who gave it to you, but your corolla belongs to me, and so does your demon power." The monster disdains to pretend anymore, and a gust of demon wind engulfed in a thick black mist hits the corner of the painting.

Passing through a small path and turning a corner is the bamboo forest, but the monster couldn't help but move its hands.

The wild goose-wing knife with the painted horn sensed a strong demonic aura, and whispered excitedly.Because the monster is possessed by Nongying, he is afraid of throwing a weapon with his horns, so he dare not use the wild goose-wing knife for fear of hurting people.

She stretched out her sleeve and flicked it, and her slender fingers protruded from the wide sleeve, and the fingertips burst out with ice blue light.She stretched her fingers around lightly, and the blue light formed a small vortex, and the black mist was absorbed in an instant.

Nongying was taken aback, then covered her lips and giggled: "I didn't expect you, a little monster, to see that the monster's power is not strong, but you have some magic power."

She walked slowly towards the painting corner step by step.

Hua Jiao was about to rush towards the bamboo forest, but unexpectedly, a figure chased after him at the Moon Gate.

"Hey, what's the matter with you two? What are you doing in the backyard in the middle of the night?" the man shouted loudly.

With the faint light of the wind lamp in the garden, Huajiao saw clearly that the person was Pei Ruji.

How did he come after him?

Although he is General Yunhui, his martial arts are naturally not weak, but when he encounters monsters, he is afraid that he will be vulnerable.

Hua Jiao doesn't want to see innocent people being slaughtered by demons.

Hearing Pei Ruji's shout, Nongying asked with a charming smile, "Could it be that this person is the one who gave the silk flowers."

Huajiao shook his head: "How could that be!"

Seeing that Nongying had already turned around and walked towards Pei Ruji, the blowing wind carried a strong evil spirit.

Hua Jiao jumped into the air, leaped over Nongying, flew towards Pei Ruji, and kicked the breastplate on his chest.

Just now, Pei Ruji didn't know why, but felt that the atmosphere between the two young ladies was unusual.He always felt that something would happen, so he ordered the imperial army to guard Qian Dalang, and went to the back garden to check it out.

It's best if nothing happens, and if something happens, he can stop it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped into the back garden, before he could see the situation in front of him clearly, he saw a figure flying towards him in the air. Before he could react, the foot protruding from the skirt of Pianfei kicked him his chest.

This kick was so powerful that it directly kicked him out of the Moon Gate.
