[Red Mansions] Guide to "The Empress of the Wise"

After Wang Shuo left, the young man tried to stand up and walk around. He managed to keep his balance and stood up, but he staggered and fell down again. At this moment, he suddenly heard the rustling of leaves, and the young man jumped violently from his thigh/leg. Pulling out Kaifeng's dagger, he shouted, "Who! Come out!"

Wang Shuo, who was behind the bushes, stepped out cautiously, glanced at the one-foot-long dagger, hehe, and told her that she didn't have a weapon on her body, she really couldn't believe men's nonsense, even a man who didn't grow up could not believe it!

Seeing that Wang Shuo came back again, the young man withdrew his chest and protruding back, put the dagger back, and said, "Why are you back again?"

"Well, I didn't intend to leave at all. I was just testing you. If you get angry, I can't resist. Since your conscience is still alive, I won't let you die!" Wang Shuo raised his head slightly. , said confidently.

The young man smiled earnestly, looking at the proud little girl in front of him, he knew in his heart that it was just a fit of sympathy, and he couldn't bear it. In times of adversity, meeting someone with such character makes a young man smile happily.

"Why are you laughing? Are you looking down on me?" Wang Shuo became a little annoyed, and ran away quickly after thinking about it, but he still couldn't pass the test in his heart. After getting along with him for a short time, Wang Shuo estimated that this young man must have been hunted down. Judging by his demeanor, he was not a vicious person, but the big man who fought with him raised his sword and killed two people in front of Wang Shuo.

"How dare, how dare, Miss is very thoughtful, and I am too late." The young man complimented with a smile.

Wang Shuo walked in slowly and stretched out his hand to help him up. The young man sprained one foot so badly that he couldn't use his strength at all. There were scratches on branches and bruises from stones on his body. When Wang Shuo helped him, He clearly heard his breathing tightened suddenly, as if he was enduring pain, but when he looked up, his face was still expressionless. If he hadn't seen the fine beads of sweat on his forehead, Wang Shuo would have thought he heard it wrong.

"Now we are about to go to disaster together, you must tell me your name?" Wang Shuo said to divert his attention.

"My surname is Xue, my first name is Hong, and the cursive word Yuanzhi." Xue Hong said modestly.

"Cursive characters? Do you have twenty?" It doesn't look like it, it's just a young man of sixteen or seventeen. It's easy to tell the age when people are young.

"No, the mentor gave me the words." Xue Hongdao, in fact, his family didn't allow him to step into this muddy water at all, and he almost fell out with his father.

"Oh, where is your ancestral home?" Wang Shuo continued to question.

"Miss, the servants in the yamen are not as detailed as you are." Xue Hong stopped answering.

"Ask what's wrong with the ancestral home, we are about to..."

"Going to the disaster together, right? Got it, my ancestral home is Jinling." Xue Hong said helplessly.

Surname Xue?Jinling?Could it be Xue Baochai's father?No, the age is wrong.Wang Shuo asked, "But after Ziwei gave up her life?"

Xue Hong's pupils shrank, surprised in his heart, but he admitted honestly: "It is the ancestor of the family."

Wang Shuo understood in his heart. It is said that the Xue family was originally a wealthy merchant in Jinling. During the Tai/Zu uprising, his whole family came to vote and fully supported him. At present, more than half of the things in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are supplied by their family, and the adjective rich in the world is really true for his family.

"This lady has already questioned me, do you mind telling me her name?" Xue Hong also wanted to know who belonged to such a calm lady.

"Excuse me!" Wang Shuo rolled his eyes and said, "How can the girl's boudoir name be disclosed at will."

Xue Hong looked at Wang Shuo's arm holding him with his eyes, and then at Wang Shuo's belt. The meaning was very clear. Wang Shuo said furiously, "It's very fashionable and unusual, are you a pedantic teacher?"

"Where is it, you misunderstood, I am silently expressing my admiration to you." Xue Hong shrugged, and Wang Shuo swore that she heard ridicule in this sentence.

"Then tell me the name of the head office?" Xue Hong persevered.

"king!"

"Oh~" Xue Hong understands, no wonder he is so bold, his family has a long history, Wang Shouzhong is a bold one, and Princess Fuhui is also a hero among girls, so it is not surprising that he can teach such a daughter.Xue Hong thought again that the blue-shirted woman who had just led away the pursuers should be Princess Qinghe. Princess Qinghe once called her "Suoer". According to the intelligence, Princess Qinghe has a close relationship with the Wang family, which seems to be true. .

"Oh what, hurry up, those people must be coming down soon!" Wang Shuo helped Xue Hong to leave quickly. She was worried about her life all the time. It's dinner, and now that it's delayed, it's getting dark. When the sky is completely dark and those big men are away, the wild beasts can kill them both.

Xue Hong only had one foot to use his strength, and Wang Shuo was short, so it was not convenient for Xue Hong to use his strength, so he walked slowly. The two of them were moving slowly, discussing how to find a cave to rest for the night.Suddenly, Xue Hong made a silent gesture and pointed to the top. He heard the sound of someone coming down.

Xue Hong listened carefully, and there were indeed the sounds of many people stepping on the ground. Xue Hong pointed to the bushes next to the path, and motioned for Wang Shuo to hide in.Wang Shuo took off his outer shirt and put it on his head, and hid in suddenly, breaking many dead branches.

Xue Hong picked some dead branches and rotten leaves to cover it, and he limped, but ran forward at an extraordinary speed.

Wang Shuo, who was hiding in the bushes, covered his mouth, tears streaming down his face. He knew that Xue Hong was leading the pursuers away alone, and he used the method of hurting himself.

Wang Shuo didn't dare to cry out, Xue Hong's kindness and sacrifice could not be wasted, the footsteps from top to bottom were getting closer and closer.

"There are footprints here, hurry! It's right in front!" Hearing a man's voice, Wang Shuo didn't dare to move, and just stayed stiffly in the bushes.

A group of people ran past, and Wang Shuo found that the leader was the chief guard of Qinghe Princess's house, followed by his own guards, Wang Shuo shouted loudly: "I am here, I am here!"

The guards stopped immediately, and heard the sound coming from the bushes. They quickly pushed aside the dead branches on their faces, and stretched out their hands to pull Wang Shuo up. : "There is an injured young man in front. He saved me from the gangsters. When you go to him, tell him that Miss Wang arranged for him. Please come to the house for treatment to express your gratitude."

"Yes, miss." The Wang family's own guards clasped their fists and replied, and divided four people to find the person who was kind to Miss Yu, and let Wang Shuo lie on a crude stretcher, and walked in the opposite direction, this is the way down the mountain road.

Wang Shuo was worried as he walked, and asked, "Is Princess Qinghe all right?"

"Miss Xie is concerned. The princess is fine. She is already resting at the foot of the mountain. She is just very worried about you." The guard of Princess Qinghe's house replied.

"That's good." Wang Shuo let out a long breath. If it wasn't for her willful entry into the mountains, if it wasn't for the purpose of diverting the pursuers, Princess Qinghe wouldn't have left alone. If something happened, Wang Shuo would have to die of guilt .

"Have you notified the family?" Wang Shuo looked at the sky. It has been about an hour since she entered the mountain. Are the guards so fast?

"I have already sent someone back to report." The guard of the Wang family replied. According to the distance, the owner of the family should not have received the news.

"Well, go down the mountain quickly, go home quickly, don't worry your parents and brothers, and send someone back to report the news as soon as you get down the mountain." Wang Shuo ordered, lest she forget later, she is safe now, she felt that her body It hurts everywhere, and my head hurts so badly that I can't wake up from the pain.

After being interrupted by the guards, the four royal guards who were sent to find the legendary benefactor came back and said: "Miss, there is no one in front of us, we have been looking for a long time."

Wang Shuo was shocked in his heart, but said calmly, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, he must have been rescued, thank God."

Wang Shuo turned his head and lay on the stretcher thinking silently. It seems that it is true that the Xue family in Jinling is in charge of the Secretary of General Affairs. It is not an official spy. How could there be such elusive means? Even if he left immediately, it wouldn't change the fact that he was acting.

Wang Shuo wiped away the tears on his face in disgust. Fortunately, she was so moved that tears flowed down her face at the time, and there was no danger for him with his subordinates following him secretly.Wang Shuo's vigilance was immediately raised. Don't let me, Xue Hong, direct and act, just to deceive a little girl like her who has no experience in the world. Is this to find out some news about the Wang family?Wang Shuo still habitually said that the emotion just now had disappeared without a trace.

There were guards, and the group arrived at the foot of the mountain quickly. Princess Qinghe waited restlessly in a big cloak. When the guards showed up carrying Wang Shuo, they ran over with a few strides. Seeing that Wang Shuo was in a mess, he wanted to hold her He didn't dare to move his hand, fearing that the injury would worsen, tears flowed down his face, and he called out, "Suo'er~"

"Sister Qinghe, don't cry, I'm fine, I was carried by the guards only when I was tired, don't worry, or I'll jump off the ground to show you..."

"Nonsense!" Princess Qinghe stopped habitually, Wang Shuo usually had such a laughing and taunting temperament, and said with tears in his eyes, "You really scared me!"

"It's all my fault, and I won't do it again!" Wang Shuo said with a serious face, "Let's go back quickly. The person who reported to the princess and my family should tell me. Let's go back earlier so that the elders won't worry."

"Yes, yes, yes, go back quickly, Hongmei, tell people to pack up later, let's go back first, and leave a few guards behind." Princess Qinghe ordered someone to vacate the carriage that was originally loaded with things. Wang Shuo and himself sat in. When they came, they all rode horses and did not prepare a carriage.

Back to the city, each separated, Wang Shuo stood in front of the gate of his house and suddenly felt a little scared. He was so ignorant, he would be beaten to death, right?
