At that time, the ancient capital of the thousand-year-old emperor was misty and rainy, and there was a gauzy mist in the humid air.

Dongfang Bubai was dressed in red, and stood under the big locust tree in a dignified manner.The mossy bluestone slabs underfoot are covered with fallen locust leaves and sticky catkins.Behind them are the locked doors of dozens of families.At this moment in the world of Xiao Qing, only her fiery red dress is left, which is very eye-catching.

Gong Jiu held a 24-bone oil-paper umbrella, and walked towards her on the ground covered with broken Jin Ruixue.As he walked, he watched Dongfang Bubai.The two deep pupils reflected the woman's unparalleled beauty.But she inadvertently raised her hand, stroked a handful of hair and pinned it behind her ear, revealing her pink and jade earlobe, under her ear was a bright moon pendant inlaid with acacia red beans.

Her every move, along with the back view of the wealthy family, the towering ancient trees, and the faint mist, fell into Gong Jiu's eyes.With just one glance, he was amazed.For some reason, her heartbeat slowed down, and her breathing became rapid.When Dongfang Bubai looked at him, Gong Jiu immediately stood still.He was afraid that his sudden intrusion would disturb this beauty.

Dongfang Bubai asked, "What do you want me for?"

Gong Jiu took a steady breath and said, "I'm very worried about the girl going back alone. If the girl doesn't dislike it, I can send the girl home."

Dongfang Bubai looked at Gong Jiu's thin figure, no matter how he looked at it, he was a scholar with no strength to restrain him, but the strange thing was that this scholar's eyes were very deep.Dongfang Bubai replied to him indifferently: "Mediocre people bother themselves a lot."

Gong Jiu was stunned for a moment, and at this moment, Dongfang Bubai turned and left.The snow-white oil-paper umbrella moved into the alley on the right.Gong Jiu stared at her back with ecstasy, and soon caught up with her again.He followed Dongfang Bubai step by step.Dongfang Bubai threatened without looking back: "If you don't leave, I will kill you."

Gong Jiu smiled and said: "Even if the girl can kill, she can't kill me." Just as she was speaking, the narrow walls on both sides suddenly widened.After a few more steps, you will see a semi-circular arched door in front of you.The plaque on the door is inscribed with the three characters of "Wuyi Lane" in gold, signed by Liu Mengde, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty.Presumably this is the exit of Bird Clothes Lane.Dongfang Bubai took three steps and walked out in two steps.

Gong Jiu chased after him again.Just as he was about to walk out of Bird Clothes Lane, a female voice suddenly came from behind: "My lord, it's not good!"

Gong Jiu turned around and saw that it was her maid Xiaoyu.Panting, Xiaoyu ran to Gong Jiu's side, and said out of breath, "My lord, not long after you left. A group of people came to the wine shop just now. They robbed the little girl selling wine, and even Get out of our carriage!"

"What?" Gong Jiu said angrily, "Take me to see!" After speaking, he turned and left.But when he turned around, he saw that Dongfang Bubai had moved in front of him at some point.Gong Jiu was taken aback for a moment, then quickened his pace and caught up with Dongfang Bubai.

The small wine shop was in a mess.The half-person-high wine urn was broken, and the newly brewed Xinfeng wine after Qingming flowed all over the ground.The tables and chairs were turned upside down, and the cups and bowls of the Longquan earthen kiln were scattered all over the floor.

When Dongfang Bubai came here, the group of people who robbed Xiaoqiu had already left.A lot of spectators surrounded the small restaurant, pointing and discussing.But none of them dared to come forward, for fear of being involved in any right and wrong.Dongfang Bubai pushed aside the crowd and saw the empty restaurant, a burst of anger surged in his heart.At the same time, it was a little strange: Why did she and Xiaoqiu encounter such unlucky things when they met twice?

Seeing this scene, Gong Jiu said, "Xiaoyu, where did you see those people running?"

Xiaoyu said: "I see they are heading south to Changmen!"

Gong Jiu said: "Then let's hurry up to save people!" After speaking, he said to Dongfang Bubai: "Miss Dongfang, that little girl seems to be your old acquaintance, do you want to go with us?"

Dongfang Bubai glanced at him, didn't say anything, but turned around and headed south.Gong Jiu gave Xiaoyu some instructions, and then caught up with Dongfang Bubai.Gong Jiu said as he walked: "Girl, I have already asked Xiaoyu to report to the government. When I meet a strong man, I will be able to come forward. You must not be brave. Dongfang girl, I don't think you are a Jiangnan woman." , am I from the north? I happen to be from the north too, and my family residence is in the capital."

Dongfang Bubai: "...shut up!"

"..."

Not long after, the two of them came to the dense forest outside Changmen.At this time, the rain lightened up.Dongfang Bubai and Gong Jiu walked one after the other, and the surrounding towering ancient tree crowns were scattered with raindrops. The raindrops fell on the banana leaves, and the raindrops condensed into bean-sized raindrops rolled down, and the ground fell into graves. The dark soil underneath was soaked and yellowed by the rain.There were many scattered footprints on the soil. Following these footprints, Dongfang Bubai quickly found the bandits.

Seeing Dongfang Bubai walking towards them nonchalantly, Gong Jiu stepped forward and took Dongfang Bubai's arm and said, "Girl, let's not act rashly!"

Dongfang Bubai beat Luo Gongjiu's hand and said: "Don't touch me!" As soon as the words fell, Xiao Qiu's crying sound came from the other side, following the sound, Xiao Qiu was being molested by two men.

Dongfang Bubai's eyes turned cold, so he took a step forward.Blocked by Gong Jiu again, Gong Jiu said anxiously: "If the girl is in a hurry to save someone, I will go up first. I am a masculine man, can't I let you, a weak woman, go up to face a strong man?" After finishing speaking, he really rolled up Sleeves rushed out.Dongfang Bubai became interested, folded his hands on his chest, and watched Gong Jiu's good show leisurely from the sidelines.That look was like watching an egg hit a rock.

Soon after, Gong Jiu's screams sounded in the dense forest.I saw him being punched and kicked by several men, looking very embarrassed.Dongfang Bubai had watched enough of the show, so he came forward.When the robbers saw her, their eyes lit up, and one of the bandit leaders with scars on his face said, "Hey, there is a beautiful woman here, brothers, take it back for me to be Mrs. Yazhai!"

"Ding Dong!" Twice.A group of people fell down.To deal with these miscellaneous things, Dongfang Bubai didn't bother to draw out his sword, and just used an embroidery needle to get the job done.In an instant, the ground was full of men.All of them were blinded in one eye, the bandit leader was blinded in both eyes, and all his subordinates covered their eyes and fell to the ground, crying for mercy.

Dongfang Bubai untied Xiaoqiu, and the little girl cried like pear blossoms and rain, and bowed to Gong Jiu and Dong Fang Bubai: "Thank you for your kindness." Gong Jiu said: "It's good that the girl is fine. Now we Gotta leave quickly."

Dongfang Bubai nodded, she was thinking about Huamanlou, she had to go back quickly.The three of them walked together, along the way, Xiaoqiu glanced at Gong Jiu intentionally or unintentionally, and saw that the scholar was covered in mud and water, with a bruise on his face, thinking of the weak scholar just now, she bravely stood up to protect him. Myself... two red clouds floated on Xiaoqiu's face, and she lowered her head to think about her daughter's family.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw the messy shop, Xiaoqiu's eyes were red, and she said, "What should I do now?"

Gong Jiu took out a silver ticket from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Qiu, saying: "This is 100 taels of silver, you can accept it first."

Xiaoqiu excitedly said: "No, daddy said it, you can't take other people's money for nothing."

Dongfang Bubai said: "I saved his life, so I gave you the money. I live in Huajiazhuang, and you can return it to me when you have money someday."

Xiaoqiu took it hesitantly.Then Dongfang Bubai walked out, Gong Jiu shouted: "Ms. Dongfang!" and chased after him.Xiao Qiu stared at Gong Jiu's back in a daze, before he sighed.She turned around and walked towards the wine shop. As soon as she got to the side, she saw an extra bag on the earthen stove where the wine was warmed, and there was still a faint scent of rouge on it.When I opened the kit, I saw that there was a whole bag of silver inside.

God likes to joke a lot today.

It was clear that it was raining just now, and now a large black cloud came from some Java country.After a while, another downpour fell from the sky. The rain was like pouring, and the colored glazed tiles made tinkling sounds, eclipsing the thousand-year-old history.

Gong Jiu's entire clothes were soaked, but he still pursued Dongfang Bubai persistently.Fortunately, Dongfang Bubai is not as indifferent as before. If Gong Jiu asked, Dongfang Bubai would say a few words to deal with it.

Gong Jiudao: "Unexpectedly, the girl's martial arts are so high, and even more so, she has a chivalrous heart, which is really admirable."

Dongfang Bubai said: "That girl is like my younger sister."

Gong Jiu asked: "The girl's younger sister must be a lovely girl."

"none of your business."

"Oh!" Gong Jiu screamed suddenly.Dongfang Bubai was taken aback. Looking back, he saw Gong Jiu lying on the ground, holding his foot with both hands, looking very painful.Dongfang Bubai knew that he was suffering from cold cramps, which was not her business.But she couldn't bear it suddenly, so she knelt down to help him hold his feet, and it took a while for Gong Jiu to recover.

Gong Jiu said gratefully: "Girl, thank you so much. I would like to ask you to go and have a drink."

Dongfang Bubai asked: "Aren't you from the capital?"

Gong Jiu smiled and said, "I have my own mansion in Kyushu."

Dongfang Bubai said: "So, you are a rich young master?"

Gong Jiudao: "My property is about the same as that of the richest family in the south of the Yangtze River. But I have never regarded money as something outside my body, and the life of abandoning the luxurious clothes and huge cars is quite good."

"You are very similar to him." Dongfang Bubai said with emotion, "I thought he was the only idiot who would think so."

"Who is the girl talking about?"

Dongfang Bubai smiled and said nothing, unknowingly, because this man's words and deeds were somewhat similar to Hua Manlou, she had a slight liking for him.Seeing his weak appearance, Dongfang Bubai asked: "Can you stand up by yourself?"

Gong Jiu shook his head, Dongfang Bubai said: "Then help me to stand up."

Gong Jiu smiled and put on Dongfang Bubai's shoulders, just as he stood up with strength.Dongfang Bubai suddenly felt an uncomfortable qi rising in her body, and she knew it was a poison attack.It happened that Gong Jiuyi exerted strength, but she couldn't hold back the resistance from the internal force, and she leaned forward.He actually fell down with Gong Jiu.She thought that she was going to have a close contact with the ground, but what she didn't expect was...she fell on Gong Jiu's body.

Face to face, eye to eye.Dongfang Bubai saw Gong Jiu's eyes were very deep, as if he could be attracted in just by looking at it.She was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, she heard something, raised her head and looked forward, and the expression on her face suddenly changed.Gong Jiu followed her gaze and saw a man standing in front of him at some point—a gentle and refined man, but at this moment, like Gong Jiu, he was drenched to the point of drowning.What is even more "bleak" is that this man did not hold an umbrella, that is to say, this man was completely exposed to rain.

Dongfang Bubai stood up in time.Gong Jiu also stood up, and said apologetically, "Miss, I really offended you."

She glanced at Gong Jiu and said, "I'm leaving, take care of yourself." After she finished speaking, she walked towards the man.Gong Jiu's voice came from behind, shouting: "Miss Dongfang, I will live in the six doors recently, I hope you can come to see me!"

Hearing this, the man in the rain on the opposite side closed his eyes.Dongfang Bubai and him did not know what to say, and then walked away together.

In a blink of an eye, only Gong Jiu was left here.Until the maid Xiaoyu came to find her.Seeing Xiaoyu, the kind expression on Gong Jiu's face disappeared.In its place was a stiff grim expression.

Xiaoyu said: "My lord, the corpses of those robbers have been dealt with. I guarantee that Dongfang Bubai and Hua Manlou will find out nothing. This time we also used that girl named Xiaoqiu to cheat Dongfang Bubai's trust." , do you want to deal with her too?"

"This girl may be useful in the future, so keep it for now."

A smile appeared on the corner of Gong Jiu's mouth, although it was a smile, it was full of coldness.
