Chapter 27 Little Summer
A few days after Tie Shou came back, he packed up his luggage and went out again, but this time the master and his brothers and sisters tacitly understood it.Tieshou did not deliberately conceal his intentions, and the people in the Shenhou Mansion are not stupid.As for the girl on the other side, they didn't have much contact with each other. They only knew that she was an old acquaintance of Iron Hands and had a close relationship. If there was anything special, it would be that she was the former thief Qianmian who was in the limelight.However, neither Zhuge Zhengwo nor the apprentices he cultivated had much prejudice against this. After seeing a lot of so-called black and white in the arena, they know that a person's identity and position are not the only ones who judge this matter. standard of good and evil.
What kind of person Qian Mian is, only after a long time will he know.
Tieshou took Xie Wan and left the capital again.
On this trip, Xie Wan made a mosquito repellent medicine bag in advance, so she didn't have to worry about mosquitoes, and now she walked ahead in a happy mood, and she didn't usually hold the iron hand to let him block mosquitoes for her.Tie Shou was angry and laughed at this attitude of turning his face and denying others, and wanted to teach this heartless thief girl a little lesson.
Xie Wan, who was knocked on the head by the other party relying on her height advantage, looked at the iron hand who passed her and continued on her way in disbelief, and said to the system.
【Xie Wan: It's over, Tonger, this is not the iron hand I know. 】
The system didn't make a sound at first, and then replied after a while, [Yes. 】
Before hearing the answer from the system, Xie Wan stayed where he was, so that Tie Shou turned back and asked, "What's wrong, A Wan?" Since Xie Wan told him his name, Tie Shou began to try to get used to the name A Wan, and also I hope I can be called Xie Wan like that from now on.
Xie Wan smiled at him and shook her head: "It's nothing, let's go."
Tieshou pondered for a while in silence, then raised his legs to follow.
They went to Yangcheng, the territory of Nanwang this time, but unlike going to Jingzhou to handle the case, they didn't have enough excuses, and rushing to visit would only arouse Nanwang's suspicion.A few days ago, it was not a secret that Tie Shou had arrested two court officials and brought them to justice. If Nanwang was the master behind them, Tie Shou would have already been on his guard.But sometimes God will help you by coincidence.
A man who specializes in embroidering blind people suddenly appeared in the rivers and lakes. He embroidered seventy or eighty blind people in a row, including some well-known people in the rivers and lakes. Jiang Chongwei, the chief manager of the Southern Palace, is one.After entering the southeast boundary, Tie Shou and Xie Wan got the news.
Xie Wan played with her hair and sighed: "That's why the popularity of fame always outweighs waves. There is no shortage of major events in the Jianghu. Now they are all discussing the embroidered thief, but they don't remember me."
Tie Shou couldn't laugh or cry, and picked up a chopstick for her: "Eat well."
It was not far from Yangcheng, and the two of them continued on their way after eating.In the hot summer afternoon, even the horses are lazy, and the sound of cicadas in the woods on both sides of the road makes people want to lie on the soft couch and take a good nap.Xie Wan sat on the horseback, then shook her head slightly: "The embroidered robber stole a lot of money, and you also heard that the 80 taels of bodyguard silver from the Zhenyuan Security Bureau is much richer than the 5 taels for disaster relief. Yes, he also stole eighteen Dendrobium pearls from Nanwang's treasury, I don't think he will have to do it again in his life."
Iron Hand said: "Listen to you, that embroidered thief is a very poor man?"
Xie Wan said casually, "Maybe, who knows."
But Tie Shou felt that what Xie Wan said was not unreasonable. The embroidered thieves stole the eighteen pearls of Nanwang's mansion, and there were countless treasures in the Nanwang's treasury. For a prince far away from the political center, it seemed a bit too eye-catching up.
"Nanwang Mansion should be visited."
Nan Wang was very surprised by Tie Shou's sudden arrival, but he still met Tie Shou in person.Nanwang's face is very noble, with the aura of a prince and aristocrat.Perhaps it was the reason why he sealed off the territory early and left the capital. On the surface, he didn't have much desire for power from a superior.But the truth hidden under the surface is not the same. After Nan Wang heard that Tie Shou came to visit, he frowned and immediately sent someone to let the prince calm down and not show his face in front of Tie Shou.That Marquis Zhuge is a big celebrity in front of the emperor, and it is impossible to guarantee that the people in his mansion have seen the holy face. If Tieshou sees the striking similarity between the two cousins, the son and the emperor, he will pay for all his painstaking efforts. The east flowed.
After exchanging pleasantries, Nan Wang moderately expressed his doubts: "Is the reason why Tie Butou came...?"
Tie Shou replied solemnly: "The important criminals captured by the humble official escaped to the southeast area, so I heard about the theft of the treasure in your palace, so I came here to ask the prince, do you have any clues about this matter? "
"It also distracted the iron catcher from his official business."
"These are the things that we people should do our best."
Nanwang laughed: "Tie Butou is really loyal and courageous! The matter of the embroidered thief is also very disturbing to the king. What he stole is the birthday present that the king wanted to give to the princess. Recently, the princess has been surprised by this matter." He was sick in bed, and the prince was with his mother and concubine every day. The king invited Jin Jiuling, the head of the six gates, to find out the matter as soon as possible, and recover the eighteen pearls of the king, so that he could let him go. The princess is at ease."
Tie Shou raised his eyebrows: "Jin Butou? Jin Butou has strong martial arts skills and outstanding abilities. He was the No. 1 arrester in the Six Doors back then. I believe this case will be solved in a short time. Your lord is wise."
Nan Wang responded to the compliment with a smile.When asked about Xie Wan who was beside Tie Shou, Tie Shou casually mentioned that he was a friend who was acquainted with the investigation, and promised Nan Wang that if he encountered the embroidered thief, he would also arrest him and bring him to justice.
At this moment, Nan Wang's close servant whispered something beside Nan Wang, and Nan Wang couldn't help but pause.Tie Shou saw it in his eyes: "My lord?"
Nan Wangdao: "Oh, it's my incompetent son. His boy doesn't like to study all day long, but a prince likes to dance swords and swords. I saw that he was making trouble, so I allowed him to worship a master. Now his master will come The prince is a guest at the palace, but the son is serving his mother and concubine, and the master of the son is not an ordinary person, and the child is disrespectful, so I, as a father, have to welcome him for him." Although Nan Wang said nothing about his son, But the attitude of maintenance in the words is so obvious, just like the father and son in the families of most ordinary people in the world, they are as loving and affectionate.
Hearing Nan Wang's words, Tie Shou couldn't help being a little curious: "Oh? Dare to ask the prince, who is the master of the son?"
Nan Wang smiled proudly: "It's Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City."
His demeanor is full of pride, of course, it is indeed something worth boasting to let Ye Gucheng be a master to his children.And Ye Gucheng does have the capital to make a prince stand up and meet him in person.Tie Shou was surprised for a while after hearing Ye Gu's word.
Nan Wang went to meet Baiyun City Lord, and Tie Shou was also about to leave, and Tie Shou was also a little curious and wanted to witness Ye Gucheng's demeanor.
Xie Wan walked a few steps behind Tie Shou.
[System: Awan, you can't let Tie Shou continue to investigate. Before Nan Wang and Ye Gucheng rebelled, Tie Shou couldn't discover Nan Wang's conspiracy.And once the connection between the characters in the world is deepened, it will only cause a greater burden on the world.You need to hurry up. 】
The implication is that the system told Xie Wan not to procrastinate any longer, and the iron hand must be stabbed.The system is well aware that A Wan has missed many opportunities to stab Tie Shou out of soft heart.
Xie Wan sighed softly in his heart.
【Xie Wan: Alright, I see. 】
A group of them walked towards the gate. From a distance, the man in white just stood there, making it impossible to ignore.And when Tie Shou was staring at him, Ye Gucheng also felt this gaze from a long distance away, and he turned his head.Ye Gucheng's eyes are just like his own, very cold, like ice and snow that never melts all year round.He obviously has a handsome and flawless appearance, but his awe-inspiring sword aura prevents people from noticing his appearance immediately.
Some people put their aura out to frighten others, but Ye Gucheng has already integrated with the sword.
How could the sword have no sword intent?
Tie Shou sighed in his heart, knowing that the description of Ye Gucheng in the rumors in the rivers and lakes was true.
Tie Shou slightly nodded to him: "City Lord Ye."
Ye Gucheng just glanced at Tie Shou indifferently, and his interest in irrelevant people has always been very weak.Xie Wan stood beside Tie Shou carefully, but she knew that Ye Gucheng didn't even look at her, so it was impossible to recognize her.Tie Shou didn't care about Ye Gucheng's indifference, and after saying goodbye to Nan Wang who was busy entertaining Ye Gucheng, Tie Shou took Xie Wan and left the palace.
Back at the inn, Tie Shou poured a cup of tea for himself and Xie Wan.
"I didn't expect Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, to be the master of Nan Wang's son. I don't know what the Nan Wang has in mind."
After Tie Shou finished speaking, he found that Xie Wan didn't drink the tea he poured, so he stopped talking: "Ah Wan, what's on your mind?"
Tieshou found out that Awan became a little silent from time to time after he did not express his intentions that obviously, although Tieshou told himself in his heart, give Awan a period of time, and give himself a period of time.But he still couldn't help feeling a little sad, could it be that his affection embarrassed her, she didn't like him.
Xie Wan pulled out a dagger under Iron Hand's puzzled gaze, weighed it twice in his hand, with teasing and provocative eyes: "I haven't settled with you for the thing you slapped me on the head before!"
Tie Shou laughed out loud: "You hold grudges like this?"
"You don't just know that I hold a grudge."
Tie Shou let out an oh, and crossed his arms around his chest. He was used to the thief girl taking out the dagger in a small way, so he pretended to be disapproving and wanted to tease her.
"Then you want to stab me now to vent your anger?"
"Correct."
Tie Shou smiled, wanting to touch her soft hair: "Okay then."
However, Tieshou's face changed suddenly when he saw Xie Wan stabbing the dagger at herself. The knife was so decisive that it was not a play at all. Grabbed her hand tightly.Tie Shou's face was livid, and he was about to ask her sharply what she was doing, but the thief girl looked into his eyes without showing any emotion.She just looked at him indifferently, and then, at some point, another dagger stabbed into his heart.
Tie Shou stared blankly at Xie Wan, the hand that was holding her hand loosened, and the dagger that was about to stab Xie Wan's heart fell to the ground, while the dagger she stabbed into Tie Shou's heart was firmly fixed. plugged in.
His hand was attached to Xie Wan's hand holding the handle of the knife. He felt bewildered, shocked, disappointed, and painful, but in the end he couldn't decisively break off the wrist that wanted to kill him.Xie Wan's other hand also came up, causing the blade to sink deeper and deeper into Iron Hand's heart.
Tieshou looked at Xie Wan's expression a little helpless, even aggrieved.
"……why?"
Xie Wan stood up, but she kept holding the handle of the knife firmly with both hands. She did not avoid the eyes of the iron hand mixed with strong emotions, but said indifferently: "Xiao Xia, you are the head catcher, and I am the head catcher." Thief, what do you think." Her ruthless eyes suddenly curved up, showing warmth, "We haven't seen each other for so many years, and you have become so powerful, I'm curious who will win this time. Now it seems Me, Xiaoxia, look, how many times have you ever defeated me, you have never caught me. "
She was so unfamiliar that he didn't know her anymore, Tieshou thought in a daze, maybe he never knew her.She has a weird and changeable temper, arrogant and domineering, but she can also show such a gentle and ruthless appearance.
Did he really recognize her?
Tie Shou smiled to himself, lowered his eyes desolately, and stopped looking at what he thought was A Wan.
"Yeah, I've never been able to catch you."
It was when she was in Cangzhou, and it was when she left.But he still bumped into the south wall and didn't look back, thinking that if he could change his heart for his heart, one day this thief girl who had made him confused could be honest.She won't go again, this time she will stay.Thinking about it now, she lied to him, and he also lied to himself.
Tie Shou let go of his hand, he didn't break the wrist that was his own life, but he would rather raise his hand with difficulty, and lightly touched Xie Wan's side face with his fingertips.
"I'm dying and I want to see your face."
Xie Wan was silent for a while, then asked, "Why?"
Iron Hand smiled bitterly.
"I want to see what you really look like. I don't have a chance in this life. Anyway, in the next life, I can catch you at the first sight and put you, a thief girl who has done bad things, in the prison."
Xie Wan moved the corner of her mouth, and she sighed softly: "Silly Xiaoxia, you won't meet me in your next life."
After she finished speaking, she took the initiative to remove the disguise on her face.
The lights were dim, reflecting the beauty's face.He finally knew what she looked like.It turns out, it turns out.
"……I see."
"You can see clearly."
The candlelight was flickering, the moon was fading, and after the wind subsided, Xie Wan was the only one left in the house.There were still two teacups on the table, Xie Wan silently finished her cup of cold tea that was no longer warm.
[System: Ah Wan...do you like him? 】
Xie Wan shook her head.
"Do not."
"I just think that if you treat him like this, you will be punished."
