Chapter 247 The Tenth Task: The Unlucky Traveling Woman (45)

The breeze blows, the fallen flowers are in full bloom, and the peach blossoms are spread on the ground like brocade. Du Ji stands under the peach tree. The sun shines through the cracks in the trees and casts mottled halos on his face. His eyes also jump into the light. , making it difficult to see his emotions clearly. Seeing that the woman was silent, he returned to his previous elegance, with a faint smile on his lips: "Since the girl can't answer, please come back. Du has important matters to attend to." I have no time to play with the girl."

"You..." Mingyan woman took a deep breath when she heard the words, a trace of panic flashed across her face, "Are you really so heartless?"

Du Ji didn't want to pay attention to her at all, and said directly to the wind, "Ms. Zhou, this is the place where the most beautiful man in the capital will be elected. Miss Zhou can wait here by herself. It is inconvenient for Du to leave first." He With a sorry look on his face.

Knowing that he wanted to escape, Feng Buyu nodded.

Du Ji smiled at her, thanked Miss Zhou for her understanding, then turned and left. Seeing this, the woman's eyes widened slightly, and she was about to rush forward, but at this moment, a young man suddenly rushed out of the crowd. Faced with panic and hatred, she said to her, "Ayin, what are you trying to do? What are you talking nonsense here? Are you crazy?"

He said, holding the woman's hand.

"Let me go!" The bright woman struggled a few times, but she couldn't break free from the man's shackles. She said impatiently and unwillingly, "I'm not crazy, I know what I'm doing, let me go." She stared and pulled Looking at the man who looked at her, his eyes were full of hatred, as if looking at an enemy who blocked her future.

Feng Buyu frowned slightly.

"Follow me back if you're not crazy, don't embarrass yourself here." As he spoke, the young man took the bright woman A Yin and walked in the opposite direction to Du Ji, and A Yin writhed angrily along the way. He bent his body and beat the young master's hand, but the young master remained motionless, only frowning slightly, and slowly, the figures of the two disappeared into the depths of the peach tree.

"Do you know who they are?"

After the two walked away, someone began to ask.

"I don't know that woman, but that man is Zhao Xiu, the son of Zhao Lin, the editor of the Hanlin Academy."

"It turned out to be the Zhao family." Some people suddenly realized and nodded, "Then the woman just now should be Zhao Lin's daughter, Zhao Yin."

"Zhao Yin? I heard that she was not sent to the countryside to be raised by Zhuangzi because of poor health? When did you come back?"

"I came back at the beginning of the year."

"So what she just said..."

"It's just nonsense!"

"If Mr. Zhao Lin knew that his daughter cursed Du Ji like this in order to attract Du Ji's attention at the Qionglin meeting, how angry would he be?!"

There was another burst of violent laughter from the crowd.

In order to attract Du Ji's attention?Is it really that simple?

Feng Buyu pursed her lips, feeling that Zhao Yin's actions did not seem to simply attract her sweetheart. Everyone said that she had lived in Zhuangzi since she was a child. So, is it possible that the words she said were told to her by others?Just to use her to deal with Du Ji.

But the complex emotions in her eyes don't seem to be fake!
"Still, she was reborn. Du Ji really did this kind of thing. He killed her father and set her family on fire, causing their family to die tragically!"

But as soon as this idea came out, Feng Buyu couldn't help laughing himself, how could there be such a stupid reborn girl?He had already guessed that it was Du Ji who killed their whole family, and even ran over to question Du Ji in front of a large audience. Did he think he didn't die fast enough?Even if Du Ji didn't kill her, her family who was always talking nonsense would let her die of illness.

She was sent to Zhuangzi since she was a child, and she is not a favored girl.

The most important thing is that looking at her appearance, it is obvious that she has feelings for Du Ji.

Therefore, Zhao Yin should not be reborn.

It's not reborn, and it doesn't seem to be used by others, so there are only two possibilities left, one is that she likes Du Ji herself, and someone told her these words to make her attract Du Ji's attention.The second is that she likes Du Ji, but because she has no way to get close to Du Ji, she came up with this method to attract Du Ji's attention.

No matter which one it is, this Zhao Yin is quite stupid, and it is so stupid that it is difficult to describe it in words.

Thinking of this, Feng Buyu put Zhao Yin behind him and looked around. At this moment, people around were still discussing the Zhao family. They said that the Zhao family was a puddle of mud. Feng Buyu was not interested in listening anymore, turned around and walked towards the depths of the woods.

The weather is fine and sunny. In the depths of the peach forest, a man is leaning against the peach tree, taking a rest with his eyes closed. The sun shines through the peach leaves and casts fragmented circles of light on his face. His white face is so white that it is almost transparent. A crystal-clear beauty, with lightly covered eyelashes, picturesque eyebrows, floating like a peach fairy, it seems that it will be gone by the wind in the next second.

Butterflies danced around him, some stayed on his head, some landed on his large embroidered robe, the breeze blew, only the rustling of leaves, as if he was the only one left in the world, lonely And the silence, with a sense of mournful beauty all over her body.

At this moment, slight footsteps sounded not far away, the man frowned slightly, and slightly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of pupils deeper than Gujing, and a murderous gleam flashed in those beautiful eyes. Even if it disappeared, he looked lazily at the source of the sound, and saw a few men walking towards him.

"Look, isn't this His Royal Highness the King of Dust?" The leader is a middle-aged greasy man who is as fat as a pig, with a face full of flesh, and a big waist. He is wearing a moon-white spring shirt, which makes his waist and legs more prominent Everywhere is meat.

His eyes were slightly squinted, and there was a squinting light in his small eyes, "I really don't meet you anywhere in life. I never thought that I could meet His Royal Highness Dust King here."

Dust King just glanced at him, then turned his head and asked casually, "Who are you?"

The smile on the man's face froze, and soon he raised his head proudly, "I forgot that His Royal Highness has never been to court. I am Li Zongling from the clan mansion. I am in control of all the rosters of the royal family. , I have already met you when I was helping the late emperor, but I didn’t expect that you, who was so young at that time, would now grow into a handsome young master."

As he spoke, he breathed a sigh of relief, as if remembering the past.

Dust King's face didn't change at all. He said softly, "It turned out to be Li Zongling. It's really disrespectful. I didn't expect Zongling to participate in the election of the most beautiful man in the world at such an old age? What a childlike innocence." His tone was very Soft, but full of sarcasm in the words.

It's saying he's old.

Hearing this, Li Zongling's face darkened. Seeing this, the two men behind him sneered, "Did His Highness really regard himself as a prince? There is no fiefdom, no rights, and no money for basic living. Still pretending in front of Master Li!"

A casual smile appeared on Dust King's face, as if he didn't pay attention to them at all.

Seeing his calm and breezy appearance, the two of them looked at each other, narrowed their eyes, and smiled a little colder, "His Royal Highness is really arrogant, Zong Ling didn't even pay attention to you when he talked to you, as expected A son born to a lowly servant girl doesn't understand any logic."

Dust King still ignored them, and even took out two corks from his arms, stuffed them in his ears, and then closed his eyes and fell into a light sleep.

"You..." The two people's faces instantly turned red with anger. A prince who was not favored and could be bullied by everyone in the capital dared to put on airs in front of them. This was simply too much bullying.

They looked at Li Zongling angrily, hoping that Li Zongling would decide for them. Who knew that Li Zongling laughed, his small eyes narrowed, "I didn't expect Xichen to have such a temper. He really deserves His Royal Highness Chen."

The anger in the hearts of the two dissipated without a trace in an instant, and they suddenly realized that a smile gradually overflowed their faces.

Yeah, what are they angry about?Li Zongling has coveted Helian Xichen for a long time, no matter how proud this Helian Xichen is, it is impossible for him to be prouder than Li Zongling, when the time comes...

Thinking of this, the two tacitly exchanged a wretched smile.
