Value peace

Chapter 84

After a while, Mr. Yuan's voice came from outside the carriage: "Miss Duan, Deputy Chief Liu of the Shuilong Gang is here!"

Duan Yingluo took a deep look at Gu Xiyan, then lifted the curtain and left.

Gu Xiyan adjusted her breathing, tried to maintain a natural sitting posture, and waited with all her attention.

She could feel Mr. Yuan's breath outside the curtain of the car, and heard the footsteps of pedestrians passing by, and the rumble of carriages passing by.

Waiting makes time infinitely long.

When Duan Yingluo lifted the curtain and entered, Gu Xiyan breathed a sigh of relief, only to realize that her palms were wet.

They maintained their usual silence, and the carriage began to drive again.

At dusk, the carriage bumped even more than usual, Gu Xiyan felt as if her internal organs had been bumped and changed positions, and she wanted to vomit but couldn't vomit.She closed her eyes and covered her chest crookedly, trying not to let the moan escape.

Duan Yingluo saw that Gu Xiyan's face was snow-white, her brows were furrowed and she was covering her chest, and she knew that she was not feeling well again.Thinking of her being a lady from a famous family, she never complained about eating and sleeping on the road, she couldn't help comforting her: "Persist, we'll be at the water dragon gang soon, and then you can freshen up and sleep well." I feel good."

Gu Xiyan reluctantly smiled at Duan Yingluo, comforting her: "Don't worry, I'll be fine!" It's a pity that she has been too skinny during this time, and when she smiled, her pale gums were exposed.

Duan Yingluo turned her face sideways, unable to bear to look at her.

The car finally stopped, and Duan Yingluo helped Gu Xiyan out of the carriage. Surrounded by a dense forest, Mr. Yuan bowed to Duan Yingluo: "Miss Duan, I'm leaving."

Duan Yingluo smiled and nodded: "It's been a hard journey."

Mr. Yuan smiled and drove away in the carriage.

The two waited in the woods.

Gu Xiyan asked in a low voice: "Mr. Yuan and the Shuilong Gang are at odds?"

Duan Yingluo hesitated for a moment, then said with a smile: "It's not that we don't get along, it's just that we don't want to meet each other. After all, hearing and seeing are two different things."

Gu Xiyan nodded knowingly: "Afraid people will know that he sent us out of Shengjing?"

Duan Yingluo smiled: "Of course." As soon as she finished her words, Gu Xiyan saw a handsome young man walking towards them in a hurry.He looked like he was in his early twenties, and he was wearing a royal blue round-breasted gown. The texture of the clothing was exquisitely cut.Far away, the boy clasped his fists and said, "Miss Duan, I'm going to help Liu Sanlang in the water. Miss Lao has been waiting for a long time!"

Duan Yingluo greeted him with a smile: "It turns out to be Deputy Chief Liu!"

After two sentences, Liu Sanlang stopped at a distance of about two meters from them: "Miss Duan, I have ordered to go down to arrange the boat, but it happened in a hurry, and I have to ask the girl to wait for two or three days." While talking to Duan Yingluo, he looked at Gu Xiyan from the corner of his eye, with a scorching light shining in his eyes.

When we met for the first time, I looked at her with this kind of gaze.

Gu Xiyan couldn't help but took a step back, and hid half of her body behind Duan Yingluo.

Duan Yingluo sensed Gu Xiyan's actions, and thought it was because she was too weak and tired from standing, so she hurriedly smiled at Liu Sanlang, "Guangzhu Liu is too polite, so please forgive us for disturbing us."

Liu Sanlang said with a smile: "Miss Duan, please don't say that, our Shuilong Gang is very honored to be able to contribute to the Asura Sect..." Then, he snapped his fingers, and a green curtain oil car drove out of the woods The car came, but the driver was a young man.

"There are many people in the water dragon class, and the good and the bad are good and bad, so please ask Miss Duan to feel wronged in the other courtyard." Liu Sanlang smiled and looked at Gu Xiyan, "I think this girl is weak, and she just happens to be recuperating in the other courtyard. Fan, it’s not too late to hurry.”

Duan Yingluo smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Chief Liu, please worry about it", and helped Gu Xiyan into the carriage.

The carriage turned out of the dense forest, walked for a while, and stopped in front of a small and exquisite courtyard, Liu Sanlang knocked on the door, the old man who answered the door was surprised to see Liu Sanlang, Liu Sanlang whispered to the old man After saying a few words, the old man looked at the carriage curiously, and ran down the high threshold so that the carriage could drive directly into the inner courtyard.

Without obstacles, the carriage drove straight to the second gate of the inner courtyard and stopped. Liu Sanlang led the way, and Duan Yingluo supported Gu Xiyan to follow.

At this time, when the moon and stars were thinning, the courtyard was quiet, no lights were lit anywhere, and there were only faint shadows in sight. Even so, Gu Xiyan could feel the beautiful scenery of this courtyard and the layout. exquisite.

They walked through several courtyards, and then a flower garden, and stopped in front of a small, dilapidated tile-roofed house.The pattern of tile-roofed houses, one light and one dark, is very tight, and the door is ajar. Through the moonlight, you can see some buckets, poles, iron handles and other things piled inside, like a room used by gardeners to store sundries. .

Liu Sanlang stepped forward and pushed open the door of the main room, apologetically: "Ms. Duan, although this place is remote and simple, few people come and go. There is a dense forest behind the house. If there is anything to do, it is easy to accommodate."

Duan Yingluo helped Gu Xiyan into the house, and said with a smile, "Let Chief Liu worry about it."

Liu Sanlang looked at Gu Xiyan with deep eyes, and said with a smile: "The two girls must be tired after traveling all the way. It's better to rest early. I'll take my leave first."

Duan Yingluo smiled at Liu Sanlang wordlessly, and Liu Sanlang said goodbye with cupped fists.When leaving, he also carefully closed the door for them.

Duan Yingluo helped Gu Xiyan to open the coarse cloth curtain and entered the inner room next to her.The inner room is completely different from the main room. It can be seen that it has been carefully tidied up. The clean and tidy canopy bed, bedding, towels, tooth powder, toothbrush, and soap on the mirror stand are all new. A small charcoal stove and a wooden barrel about the height of a person. There is a large copper pot on top of the charcoal stove, and the spout of the pot is still steaming.

Duan Yingluo smiled and said, "Girl can finally drink hot water and take a hot bath."

Although Gu Xiyan was so tired that she didn't want to do anything, she still made up her mind to wash up before going to bed.Seeing that she couldn't even wring out the towel, Duan Yingluo rolled up her sleeves to help Gu Xiyan wash her hair and body, then wrapped her hair in a dry towel and carried her to the bed before tidying up.

Gu Xiyan was lying on the soft bed, covered with a quilt exuding dry sunlight, feeling that she was about to melt with happiness, and she soon fell asleep.

After waking up too much, Gu Xiyan was woken up by Duan Yingluo: "You haven't taken your medicine yet, get up and take your medicine."

Gu Xiyan got up energetically and drank a bowl of thick traditional Chinese medicine.

Duan Yingluo had wet hair and a jacket to serve her the medicine: "You have to ask a doctor to take the medicine seriously, otherwise it will drag you down."

Gu Xiyan also knew this truth, and asked: "I don't know if there is any news from Shengjing. If there is time, we might as well rest for two days." Speaking of this, she remembered the way Liu Sanlang looked at her, and then Said: "I just don't know if it's safe or not in the water dragon gang."

Duan Yingluo smiled and said: "Don't worry too much, as long as we get to Ridge Island, we will be safe." In his tone, he meant to comfort her.

Gu Xiyan was startled.

Duan Yingluo belonged to Qi Maosheng, could it be that she had passed the news to Qi Maosheng, what arrangements could Qi Maosheng make in Lingdao!
Thinking of this, Gu Xiyan couldn't help showing an expression of anger and joy.

She recalled in detail the last time she met Qi Maosheng.

At such a critical moment of life and death, if you took such pains to arrange for her, could it be that there is no feeling for her in it?

Gu Xiyan suddenly couldn't fall asleep, she asked Duan Yingluo softly: "You guys are in Lingdao, do you have any other arrangements?"

Duan Yingluo looked at Gu Xiyan in surprise: "You are going to Ridge Island, isn't it arranged by the Duke?"

Gu Xiyan looked at Duan Yingluo in surprise: "Of course not!"

The two looked at each other.

In the blink of an eye, they all realized: There is a big misunderstanding!
Gu Xiyan thought that with Duan Ying's background, knowledge and ability, she was willing to help her leave the Gu family, it would be an overkill, why complicate simple things, everything was left to her arrangement.

Duan Yingluo thought that Gu Xiyan, a woman who was raised in a deep boudoir, would have the courage to escape from marriage, and even fled all the way to Ridge Island. If it wasn't for the support of Duke Yan Qi Hao, how could she have the courage... ...When she saw Gu Xiyan's plan to escape from marriage, she felt it was ridiculous and full of loopholes.In order to complete the task as soon as possible and for her own safety, Duan Yingluo volunteered to help Gu Xiyan leave Shengjing.She used the strength of Shuramen in the rivers and lakes, and rushed to the edge island as fast as possible.She thought that when she arrived at Lingdao, she would be able to do business, but she didn't expect...

Gu Xiyan's face was ashen for a moment!

It wasn't Qi Maosheng who asked Duan Yingluo to help him...

Duan Yingluo's face turned white for a moment!

Ridao has no one to respond...

The two said in unison: "We need to have a good talk!" After a while, they said in unison: "You talk first!"

Words must be lost!
Gu Xiyan hurriedly said: "You are a sister, you should speak first."

"Okay, let me talk first." Duan Yingluo thought for a while, "What is your relationship with Duke Yan?"

Gu Xiyan said: "He was injured in Shengjing, and I accidentally saved his life."

Duan Yingluo nodded, and Gu Xiyan said, "Why did he ask you to be my maid?"

Duan Yingluo hesitated for a moment, then said: "It's a long story. Do you know what 'Sura' is?"

Gu Xiyan shook her head.

Duan Yingluo said: "In Li Xueli at the beginning, 'Sura' is a woman. She has a peerless appearance, but has a violent temper stronger than fire. She has a strong temperament and powerful magic power. Fairy founded a sect under the name of 'Sura'. At that time, the political situation was chaotic and the people were in dire straits. Fairy Gu took in many baby girls who were homeless due to the war. Introduced to be a female bodyguard in the inner courtyard of a rich and wealthy family, charged a certain management fee, and then used these fees to maintain the daily expenses of the Shuramen. After Xizhao unified the Xia Kingdom, our elders of the Shuramen had some disputes over the current situation .Some think that the Shuramen should be disbanded, some think that they should submit to the court, and some think that the characteristics of the Asuramen should be maintained, the number of disciples should be reduced, and a high-end route should be taken, providing female nursing homes for nobles and nobles who can afford the money. Later Asura Sect split into North Shura and South Shura. After hundreds of years of development, North Shura now has more than 500 disciples, of which female disciples account for a small half, and most of them are male disciples. Female disciples are usually introduced after leaving the teacher Go to a wealthy family to work as a nursing home for women, and male disciples will work as bodyguards in some bodyguard bureaus. Nan Xiuluo set up a dojo in Xiufeng, Jiangnan County more than 300 years ago. Jinwu Army and Habayashiin."
