[Three Kingdoms] Carnival

Liu He never thought that the girl Xi Wu could walk out of the hall alive.

What's more, when he returned to the yard, the young master didn't say a word to her, and took Xi Wu back to the house, leaving her outside alone.

Suddenly, the sound of a "cuckoo" bird came to her ears, and Liu He turned her head quickly, and she saw her mother Zhang Ma poking her head. She looked around vigilantly, and when she saw no one, she ran out quickly and went to the place with Zhang Mama. in the corner.

"Well, have you removed the little hoof?"

"You still say, it's all your fault!" Liu He glanced at Zhang Ma reproachfully, "As a result, the evening mist has not been removed, and the young master doesn't trust me anymore. I have to go to Cao's house to propose marriage."

"I don't trust you anymore?! Proposing marriage?!" Mama Zhang became anxious when she heard this, "Tell me the whole story."

Liu He narrated everything that happened in the front hall today with complaints mixed in.Mama Zhang listened carefully, but her eager expression gradually faded, and the corners of her eyes became wrinkled because of the gradually strong smile in her eyes:

"You are still too immature to understand the young master's heart."

"What do you mean?"

"Think about it, if I tell you the truth, the young master believes in that little hoof and doubts you, how could he come back and ask her first without asking you first? In my opinion, he was protecting that little hoof, but It’s just unbelievable emotionally. But the master and the young master have such a deep relationship, the young master will never let that little hoof go just because of a little affection.”

"Mother, just in case the young master finds out, I helped young master Guo Tu and the elder master design these..."

"How old is the young master, and the master passed away again, how many things need him to deal with. After the busy time passes, even if he suspects, there will be no trace to follow. I'm afraid he will do something."

After being comforted by Zhang Ma for a while, Liu He was relieved and returned to the courtyard full of confidence.After sitting for a long time, he got up and went to the small kitchen, intending to prepare some food for the young master.The young master is very sad now, and she will speak softly for a while, which will definitely make the young master feel her sincerity.

After entering the house, Xiwu hurriedly stepped forward to support Guo Jia. On the way back just now, she saw that Guo Jia's footsteps were weak, and as soon as she entered the room, she quickly stepped forward to support Guo Jia. The body fell on her for a while, but straightened up again in the next second.Xi Wu was bitter in her heart, and after helping Guo Jia to the cushion, she stood aside and said for a long time:

"Master..."

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Guo Jia leaned on the back of the chair and took a deep breath for a long time before gradually feeling the fatigue in her body fade away.

Seeing Guo Jia like this, Xiwu panicked even more. After all, she was just a 12-year-old girl. After going through such a thing, she felt fear and sadness. Tears welled up in her eyes for a while, but she didn't dare to wipe it, sobbing halfway Intermittently said:

"Young master, I really didn't harm the master... Originally Siqin was going to make tea for the master and the old lady, but she was called out by Liu He just as she prepared the tea set... I said I would help her, and then At once……"

"I already know this part." Guo Jia waved his hand to stop Xiwu from continuing. In fact, he probably guessed this part even if the other party didn't tell him.It's a very simple trap, but against a little girl like Xiwu, the simpler it is, the more effective it is.

"How many years have you been with me, you don't even know the poison in the father and the old lady, and you don't even have the ability to poison."

"I don't doubt you, just, now, listen to me. Which part I ask, which part you answer, okay?"

"Yes."

Xiwu still raised her hand to wipe away her tears, bit her lip and said firmly.

"Then, tell me first." Guo Jia changed his posture and supported his head with his hands, so that the inner pressure of the body seemed to be less, "Tell me, what Guo Yan and the others have worked so hard to get, father these years Keeping it in the palm of your hand, what exactly is it?"

"Yeah." After calming down, Xi Wu also calmed down, and said methodically, "Master, a few years ago, befriended a nobleman. Because of his status as a nobleman at that time, he needed to cultivate his influence everywhere, and Master Just be in charge of Yingchuan."

"What they are looking for should be the mansion in the suburbs of the master. It contains the gold, silver and jewelry that the nobleman used to cultivate the power of the master, as well as the octopus guard."

"] The octopus guard?" Guo Jia frowned.

"Well, the octopus is a kind of spider with extremely long legs, implying that the power of the octopus guard can spread everywhere. In fact, it is also true. In its heyday, the octopus guard spread all over the world, as small as the market , As big as the palace, you can call out the news at any time. In fact, the master is only in charge of a part of the bottom, and I am not very clear about the power of the whole octopus guard."

"Wait." Guo Jia said, Xiwu immediately shut up obediently, and asked Guo Jia to ask a question, "That noble man, do you not know, or can't tell?"

"The master never mentioned it to me, but I accidentally found the letter from the master, and the name on it is——Cao Teng."

"Why is the surname Cao again?!"

Counting the things that happened recently, Guo Jia's head was swollen with pain.

He remained silent, and Yugiri continued to say:

"But later, Cao Teng passed away very quickly. The master originally planned to gradually disband the octopus guards. But later, the master encountered many things in his business. In order to protect himself, the master still kept some of them, but it was not as good as before. scale."

"I was chosen by the master when I was seven years old. Because of my better martial arts, the master chose me to serve the young master."

Like beans poured out of a bamboo tube, Xiwu said everything she knew, and her heart gradually became more relaxed.Looking up at Guo Jia, seeing that Guo Jia was deep in thought, he didn't disturb him.

To be honest, Guo Jia really didn't expect that his father would hide such a big secret.

According to what Xiwu said, even if the father gradually reduced the size of the octopus guards, the emaciated camels were bigger than horses, and getting the octopus guards meant that there were hidden threads in every family in Yingchuan. With the gold, silver and jewels left behind, it's no wonder Guo Yan and the others tried so hard to do things that killed people, so they must get them.

The backbone of the Guo family follows the official path. With this line, the future official career will be very smooth.

"Xiwu, can you contact the octopus guard now?" Guo Jia asked after thinking for a moment.

"Is the young master going to use the clues from the Owl Weicha's mansion? But..."

"No, we don't need to look for clues."

Guo Yan is willing to give him these three days, which means that he is confident that he will not find anything after these three days, or it will be useless to find out.

"Let them check some secrets that the Guo family doesn't want people to know, and give them to me as soon as possible."

"Young master, can the servants come in?" At this moment, Liu He's voice came from outside the door.

Guo Jia's eyes darkened, and he silently said something to Xi Wu with his mouth. After seeing Xi Wu nodded calmly, he said loudly, "Come in."

Liu He walked in with a plate of pastries with a smile on her face, and she saw Xi Wu who was standing aside at a glance, her eyes were red and swollen, and she knew that she had just cried.

Sure enough, how could the young master disregard the revenge of killing his father and still protect this little hoof.

"Why are you still standing here, get out!"

Xiwu bit her lip and ran out with tears in her eyes, but if someone looked closely, she would definitely find that there was no trace of grievance on her face, only full of determination.

The young master believes in her like this, and she will never let the young master down again.

"Young Master~" Seeing Xiwu run out, Liu He felt even better. She put the pastry in front of Guo Jia, and moved closer to Guo Jia, stroking Guo Jia's shoulder with her soft hand:

"My servant knows that you are very sad about the death of the master, but you still need something to eat. The servant understands that the young master is reluctant to part with Xiwu, and the servant has lived with Xiwu for so many years and is reluctant to part with her, but after all, she has done such an outrageous thing. However, the servant instead She begged for mercy, at least not sending her to the government to protect her reputation..."

"Liu He." Guo Jia pulled Liu He into his arms, and gently stroked Liu He's delicate cheeks, "I've been so kind to you all these years, you won't betray me, right?

Liu He's cheeks turned red and hot in an instant, the young master has never made such an intimate gesture towards her or Xi Wu in so many years.

However, she understood why the young master suddenly behaved like this.

Losing the father whom he loved all the time, and killing his father and enemy was his close handmaiden, and then almost fell out with his uncle, the young master must be very uncomfortable and vulnerable.

Thinking of this, she softened her body even more, almost softening into a puddle of spring water in Guo Jia's arms.She covered Guo Jia's palm, and said softly: "No, this servant will not betray the young master. The servant will be here, always with the young master... always..."

"I thought so too," Guo Jia's voice was so slow that it was almost whispering in Liu He's ear, and his other hand gradually slid from the face to the fair neck.The girl's neck is thin and long, with a faint pink color as the person gradually breathes rapidly. It is beautiful, but it also reveals a fragility that can't be crushed.

"But why would you do such a thing?"

There was a sudden pressure on her neck, Liu He's eyes widened in surprise, and Guo Jia's eyes were obviously smiling, but it made her feel cold all over, and the ambiguity and charm just now dissipated completely in an instant.

Behind the gentle smile is the deep coldness and strong killing intent.

Will die, really will die!

Feeling that the pressure on the neck was getting heavier and no sign of relaxing at all, she was so suffocated that she could hardly breathe.Liu He instinctively pushed Guo Jia away with all her strength, and quickly ran to the side, covering her chest and panting heavily.After finally slowing down, my brain went through what I said just now, my face turned pale with fright, but I still insisted:

"Young master, this servant did not lie...The servant did not wrong Xiwu...The servant really saw..."

"Hey," sighed as if hating iron but not steel, "Liu He, have you ever thought about what will happen if Xi Wu is really the murderer?"

Liu He shook her head cautiously.

"If Xiwu is really sent to the government, then soon, she will get a confession from Xiwu that I ordered her to poison the master, and the reason is that my father wants to send her out. I don't agree. kill."

"Then, if I'm involved, you should understand the consequences, right?"

Liu He opened her eyes wide in shock, she just wanted to make that Xi Wu unlucky, so that she could get close to the young master.But she is the young master's maid after all, if the young master is also implicated...

As one of the participants, she knew that the Elder Master and the others' arrangement was perfect, and they would definitely cure Xiwu, but what about the Young Master? !

Maybe, she can still go to Master Guo Tu, he promised her...

"Are you thinking that you can still go to Guo Tu, he promised you that as long as you do this for him, he will give you a lot of gold, silver and jewelry? Or, he will ask you to be his Concubine?"

Backing away tremblingly, Liu He tried her best to hold back the fear of rushing out the door. She never realized that the young master would give people such a terrifying feeling. It was as if she had been stripped naked and stood here naked. What? Mind is seen through.

"But, do you think Guo Tu will keep you who knows everything and give me a handle?"

With a "bang", the door was knocked open, and a huge object was thrown in. Liu He jumped back in fright. When she got closer to take a closer look, the limp ball on the ground turned out to be her mother." Mama Zhang".

"Master, Mama Zhang is here." After throwing the person in, Xiwu walked in and locked the door neatly, "The night was dark, and I used lightness kung fu again, but no one noticed."

Liu He looked at the girl with a cold face at the door, she never knew that Xi Wu could know martial arts, and even so superb.Now the development of things has completely exceeded her expectations, and everything is unexpected.

"Master, I found a lot of jewelry and a bag of white powder from Mama Zhang." Xi Wu put all the things on the table in front of Guo Jia.

Before Liu He could argue, Mama Zhang knelt up from the ground and cried loudly: "Young master, this old slave is just being confused for a moment! It's all the old master who forced us! Young master and old slave don't want to!" While crying, he pinched Liu He, who was stunned, and pushed her to the ground with brute force.

The moment he knelt down on the ground, Liu He came to his senses.Yes, as long as she cries and begs for mercy from the young master, the young master will definitely forgive her.

As she remembered, the young master was a very gentle person.Once, because of her mistake, the young master had a high fever for five days in a row, and the master was so anxious that he wanted to kill her, it was the young master who begged for her.The young master is most afraid of them crying, as long as they cry, he will follow them in every possible way, and will never punish them.

"Young master, it's my slave who made a mistake... I will never do this again... Master Guo Tu really forced me... If I don't follow through, I will be killed by him... Don't send me to the government... don't want……"

"Don't worry, I won't send you to the government." Seeing the joy in Liu He's and Zhang Ma's eyes when they suddenly looked up, Guo Jia's voice became more and more high-pitched, "But if you don't send them to the government, you can only die here .”

Before the two of them could react, they felt a pain in the back of their neck and fainted to the ground.

"Master, I really want to..." Looking at the two people on the ground who were knocked out by her hand knife, Xiwu still hesitated. Although she had been trained by the octopus guard, she had never seen blood because she followed Guo Jia early. .

"Yes, it must be so." Guo Jia's tone was definitely beyond doubt.

"If my guess is correct, there is still a copy hidden in Liu He's room. Since Guo Yan and the others can even do such things as killing clan children, they must have made full preparations. Even if I prove Without your innocence, Liu He will also be treated as a murderer, and no matter who you are, as my handmaid, I will be the mastermind behind the scenes."

"So, we can't keep them, but we must give them a reasonable home."

Xi Wu felt guilty when he heard it.She said she wanted to listen to the young master, but in the end she was still questioning the young master's decision, making the young master take the trouble to explain to herself.

She doesn't want to be a burden to the young master, but to be the sharpest sword and the hardest shield for the young master, to remove all enemies and block all disasters.
