Wishful Things

Xu Mingyi faintly sensed the strangeness of the little maid, took the letter and asked, "Who sent it?"

"The servant girl didn't know, it was delivered to the concierge by a boy with candied haws in his hand. He only said that a strange young man asked him to deliver it, and he didn't recognize the person, and pointed out that it was for a girl."

That is the meaning of not wanting to reveal your identity...

While Xu Mingyi was puzzled, he took out the letter paper and unfolded it.

The handwriting on it really looks like it was written by a man.

And the contents of the letter...

Xu Mingyi's expression changed.

"What's the matter? Is there a statement of identity in this letter?" Seeing that her expression was obviously wrong, Princess Yufeng, who didn't want to inquire too much, couldn't help asking.

"It's Zhanyunzhu." Xu Mingyi said in a concentrated voice.

"who?"

Princess Yufeng frowned, and it took a while to remember which one it was, and she couldn't help but said in amazement: "You said that peacock who always secretly opened his tail... didn't he throw himself into the river long ago?!"

She saw early on that this man had something.

She doesn't know about the others, but this person is really good at winning people's hearts, and he is the kind who doesn't show any traces. Ordinary girls often fall into it if they don't pay attention.

At that time, she still felt that it would be a pity not to go to Gouyuyuan for such a man, otherwise a top card would not be able to escape.

She was still worried that Xu Zhaozhao would be cheated before, but Xu Zhaozhao also subtly proved that she was worrying too much with her own incomprehension.

"Yeah, a person who threw himself into the river suddenly sent me a letter, telling me that he is still alive—" Xu Mingyi's eyes had calmed down very quickly, and he looked down at the letter in his hand, and said, "I will meet you in a forest outside the city at dusk in two days' time..."

And the letter also said that it is not appropriate for him to tell others that he is still alive for the time being, so let her keep the secret for him, and it is best to go alone.

In addition to this letter paper, there is another thing in the envelope——

A mahogany hairpin for men to tie their hair.

The head of the hairpin is carved with auspicious clouds, and the body of the hairpin is polished to a shine.

This is indeed Zhan Yunzhu's stuff.

I remember one time when I was young, he and she went to Hanming Temple to accompany my uncle to make tea and enjoy the snow. During a snowball fight with Ah Kui, a strand of hair was accidentally entangled by a dead branch of a peach tree. I vaguely remembered that he helped patiently untie it.

Then he broke off the peach branch and took it away. When he got back, he made two hairpins and gave one of them to her.

She thought it was too old-fashioned, like a Taoist nun, so she didn't want it.

But she always remembered this matter.

It's not that she has a good memory, it's just that in the next few years, he will use this wooden hairpin from time to time, and she can't forget it even if she wants to.

But, when Zhanyunzhu threw himself into the river that day, was it the one he wore?

Or, he still remembers to bring this thing with him? In a place where others can't see, you don't forget to act all the time?

But the river is rushing, it is really rare that the other person is not dead, and the hairpin is still there.

"Then are you going? Could it be that someone is playing tricks on you?" Princess Yufeng frowned and said, "It's best not to go, anyway, you have nothing to do with him, it doesn't matter whether he lives or dies."

Xu Mingyi put the letter away and said, "Only after you have gone will you know whether it is a human or a ghost."

If it were someone else, she really wouldn't join in the fun.

But since she is in the name of Zhanyunzhu, she will definitely go.

If someone really wanted to use this to deceive her in the past, it has to be said that the method was indeed chosen correctly.

The other party did not overestimate her level of interest and curiosity in this matter.

You can lie to her in the past, but, don't afford it then, cry and beg her to go away.

...

Two days later.

When Jinwu was sinking, one person and one rider rushed out of the city before the city gate was closed.

The man on horseback is wearing a moonlight dress, with a light gauze covering his head to cover his face.

The horse's hoof stepped on the twilight, ten miles away from the city, under a mountain forest, it was slowly stopped by the horseman.

The girl on the horseback got off the horse and didn't rush into the forest, but looked around.

At this time, a short and thin young man came not far away, and asked in a low voice cautiously: "Dare to ask... but Miss Xu?"

Under the fence, the girl nodded lightly, took out the mahogany hairpin from her sleeve and handed it over.

The boy took it, heaved a sigh of relief, and whispered: "Miss Xu, come with me, my son is waiting for the girl inside."

As he spoke, he made a "please" gesture and led people to walk into the forest.

Entering the depths of the forest, you can see a wooden house in front of you.

The wooden house looks very old, presumably it was used by hunters and woodcutters.

"My son is inside."

Seeing that the girl was hesitant standing outside the door of the wooden house, the boy hurriedly opened the door.

At this time, the sky was almost completely dark, with only a faint trace of gray blue left. Through this dark vision, the person wearing the fence looked into the house.

In this kind of place, there is no furnishings at all, just a broken table and bench, and a window.

In front of the window, with his back to the door, stood a man in a long gown.

From the body shape and half-up black hair, it should be a young man.

At this moment, the young man turned around slowly.

However, in the dimness, only a rough outline can be seen vaguely, and its facial features are all immersed in the darkness, making it impossible for people to take a closer look.

Seeing this, the girl outside the door immediately raised her foot and walked in.

When she walked in front of the man, she suddenly heard the sound of the door of the wooden house being closed and locked very quickly behind her.

She was startled, and turned her head quickly, but at this moment, the man in front of her suddenly raised his hand, and covered her mouth and nose with a cloth towel through a light veil.

The man was so powerful that she had almost no strength to resist.

But after a while, she stopped struggling.

The man put the man on the ground, squatted down, and raised his hand to remove the fence.

"It is said that Ms. Xu from Zhen Guogong's mansion is the most beautiful woman in Beijing, I will open my eyes today..." The young man said to himself with a smile.

However, the next moment, his smile froze on his face.

...how is it a man? !

Although the surrounding light was dim, he still wouldn't admit that the face was male or female. After all, the other party hadn't even shaved cleanly, so he stabbed his hand!

"Damn it!"

The young man knew that the plan was in vain, and he was about to stand up in a panic. At this moment, the person on the ground who was pretending to be a girl by taking advantage of his slender body and bones suddenly opened his eyes, and jumped up while pulling out the dagger hidden behind his waist.

The young man was startled and turned sideways to narrowly avoid the blow.

Didn't you get drugged? How can I still wake up? !

What the hell!

While cursing, the man dodged the man's attack in a panic.

When this person was covered by the cloth towel, he held his breath and did not inhale, all his actions were just acting.

He was extremely fast, even though the man had some three-legged kung fu skills, he was quickly restrained.

But at this time, a new situation occurred.

Thank you, the leader, Qinghan, for your reward, and thank you for every precious monthly ticket, good night.
