An Feng Bamboo Horse

? Bu Zhangbai walked to the backyard with Xia Anfeng on his arm, and he heard the sweaty horse that had just been brought back from the stable not far away, snorting and neighing restlessly.He paused.

Xia Anfeng also stopped, wondering: "What's wrong, Xiaobai?"

Bu Zhangbai did not answer, and continued to help him walk to the second aunt's room in the backyard, while casually asking: "Today you rode out, who prepared the horse for you?"

Xia Anfeng thought about it.

Before he led the horse out, he asked a boy who happened to be cleaning the stables to put on the saddle and bridle with threats and threats, but he didn't quite remember what the boy looked like.

He frowned: "There are so many servants in Lord Hou's mansion, how can I remember them all? It seems... called Changfu or something like that?"

"Then if you see him, do you still remember his appearance?"

"It should be possible." No matter how simple-minded Xia Anfeng was, he could also sense that Bu Zhangbai's expression was wrong.

At this time, the two had already walked outside Xia Anfeng's mother's room. Bu Zhangbai knocked on the door lightly, and when the servant girl came to open the door, he pushed Xia Anfeng in, and said softly, "You ask the doctor to take good care of your wound. I'll come as I go."

Xia Anfeng wanted to ask again, but the second aunt came out following the sound: "Feng'er! Where did you go wild again, you are injured..."

Being held by his mother, Xia Anfeng wanted to ask more questions, but Bu Zhangbai disappeared in a blink of an eye.

The stables in Hou Ye's Mansion are large and dry. Twenty or so fine horses are leisurely chewing horse grass behind their respective gates, flicking their tails to drive away small mosquitoes.The bloody sweat horse that had just been brought back was tied to a thick post near the exit, and the horse's hooves were raised anxiously, and a small dust was stirred up by the horse's footsteps.

Bu Zhangbai walked past the groom who was busy stirring the fodder for the horses in the stable, and approached the unattended sweat horse.

Seeing him approaching, the horse seemed to be quite human, and calmed down a little.

Bu Zhangbai walked up to it, reached out his hand to touch its saddle back - two tiny silver needles had penetrated into the horse's back, only a little bit of the needle tip was exposed, if you didn't look for it carefully, you wouldn't even notice the silver needles The presence.

Using a little force with both fingers, Bu Zhangbai pulled out the two needles about an inch long, and the needles were stained with blood.

The bloody sweat horse slightly raised its back when he pulled out the needle, and quickly calmed down again.

Turning the horse's head, licking his cheek affectionately.

Bu Zhangbai spread the two silver needles in his hand, secretly sneered in his heart.

It's no wonder that the horse suddenly lost control. The needle was placed under the saddle by some unknown means long before Xia Anfeng got on the horse, and it only pierced into the horse's back suddenly when the horse was galloping.

If he and Xia Anfeng hadn't made a mistake and rode for a while later, if Xia Anfeng was alone, he would not be able to hold back the momentum of the horse. If he fell, he would have to fall for at least ten days and a half months without being able to get out of bed .

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a figure passing by outside the stable, it was a man dressed as a servant.

Hmph, wanting to annihilate the evidence so quickly...

Bu Zhangbai patted the head of the maroon horse, and said in a low voice, "It's hard for you, you accidentally became a murder weapon for someone to borrow a knife to kill someone."

He put the silver needle into his sleeve, and walked out of the stable slowly as he did when he came here.

Bu Zhangbai did not go to the second aunt's room in the Xia Mansion, but walked slowly to the east wing where he was staying.

The East Wing is located in the other courtyard in the northeast corner of Hou Ye's Mansion, and it needs to pass a rockery.There is a pond with a size of about six acres beside the rockery, in which koi carp of various colors are as gorgeous as spring flowers, swimming around and full of business.

Bu Zhang folded his hands with white sleeves, thinking about his own thoughts, and unconsciously walked to the pond.

There was a man half-squatting by the pond, dressed luxuriously and wearing a jade belt and crown, bending over to watch the fish in the pond.He was so engrossed in watching that Bu Zhangbai didn't even know that Bu Zhangbai came behind him, and stretched his body into the pond with all his strength, and he was about to fall into the water.

Bu Zhangbai reached out and grabbed his belt, pulling him away from the pond.

This action is actually very impolite, but for the sake of safety, Bu Zhangbai doesn't care too much.

The person caught by him looked up, saw Bu Zhangbai, and grinned: "Bu Zhangbai!" He didn't think he was disobedient, clapped his hands, and smiled, "Are you coming to see the fish too?"

Bu Zhangbai looked around and found no one else, so he said softly, "Brother Chang, where is your servant? Why are you left alone by the pond to watch the fish?"

"They, go get fish food." Xia Pingchang clapped his hands, and wanted to go to the pond again.

Bu Zhangbai put more force on his hands, and pulled the person away, saying: "If you get too close, you will fall into the water. Just look at this distance."

Xia Pingchang was restrained by him, and he was not angry, just nodded.

Bu Zhangbai wanted to leave, but he was worried about leaving Lord Xia Hou, the mentally handicapped third son, by the pond alone, so he had to squat down and chat with Xia Pingchang without saying a word.

I feel strange in my heart, Xia Mansion's rules, people must stay around Xia Pingchang for twelve hours.How could he let go today and let him wander around the pool alone?

If he fell in, this fool probably wouldn't know how to call for help.

"Look! Goldfish!!" Xia Pingchang suddenly became happy, and leaned towards the pool again.

Bu Zhangbai was led by him, and he also staggered towards the pool.

His paler face was reflected in the reflection of the water surface, and Xia Pingchang's smiling face beside him swayed in the ripples.

Suddenly, that face changed into two faces with similar appearance.

Bu Zhangbai was startled.

Looking closely, another face with a similar appearance did not have Xia Pingchang's stupid and simple expression, but the corners of his mouth were raised, revealing a slightly mocking smile.

Xia Feng——

He turned his head sharply.

The face reflected on the water is now standing in front of him vividly.The face originated from Xia Zun's lineage, heroic and dignified, but it's a pity that this majestic appearance can't cover up the ruthless color like a cunning fox.

Smiling, Dingguo Hou's orthodox heir, the eldest son Xia Feng looked at him and said, "Young Master Bu is as careful as a hair, he really takes good care of my two younger brothers."

Bu Zhangbai hid the silver needle in his sleeve a little deeper, his expression remained the same.

Standing up and saluting: "Your Majesty, you are welcome. Bu Zhangbai is only a few years older than them, and how can he take care of them so much, and be considerate and considerate?"

Xia Feng's eyes flashed, he took a step forward, and raised his hand to grab his wrist.

His palms are strong and powerful, Bu Zhangbai is a literati, he has no strength to restrain a chicken, he is unable to resist when he is caught, he can't help being pulled closer to the prince.

Between the two of them, Xia Feng leaned against his ear, with a frivolous tone, in a low voice: "Young Master Bu, why do you have to make trouble with this son? That kid Xia Anfeng has no martial arts or skills, but he is just a bastard, you follow him What kind of cheap can he get? If you follow me, I will become a Marquis from now on, and you will be rich and prosperous, and you don't have to work hard to get fame—"

He got too close, and the hot air was blowing obscenely on Bu Zhangbai's thin ears, and the physical loathing made Bu Zhangbai tremble slightly.Xia Feng misunderstood that the other party was afraid, and added with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid of me, you know that I have always treated you—"

"Third Master! Third Master!!"

Shouts came from behind the rockery.Xia Feng immediately let go of Bu Zhangbai's hand and opened the distance between them.

Xia Pingchang's personal servant was holding a bag of fish food, and hurried around the rockery, panting: "Third Master, I brought the fish food, San—ah, son, Mr. Bu."

With a hasty retreat, he saluted Xia Feng and Bu Zhangbai, who was beside him with an ugly face.

The elder of their family looked carelessly at his younger brother who was squatting on the ground, and clicked his tongue: "Bring it back so soon, your personal servant is pretty good at handling things."

Xia Pingchang tilted his head to look at his mother and elder brother, puzzled; his personal servant was also confused.

Bu Zhang endured forbearance, but finally he still didn't speak.

Xia Feng smiled, looked at his cuffs, and pointed out: "Young Master Bu, keep some things well, and some people, if you want to, do your best to protect them. If there is a day when you can't protect them, remember this son The door is always open to welcome you."

"By the way," he was about to leave, and seemed to think of something temporarily, "I forgot to send a message, your aunt is looking for you."

Xia Feng will always call the third aunt "your aunt". I don't know if it is to deliberately disregard Bu Xiushu's relationship with Dingguo Mansion, or to mention that Bu Zhangbai and his aunt are also dependent on others.

He deliberately looked at Bu Zhangbai's face, and the latter's eyes were calm and there was nothing unusual.

He smiled and walked away.

Bu Zhangbai waited for Xia Feng to go far away, and then accompanied Xia Pingchang to watch the fish for a while.

He was not in a hurry to find his aunt, he seemed to be waiting for someone by the pond.

Xia Anfeng jumped up and down, looking for it along the road that they had played since they were young.

"Wait for you for a while, I waited and waited and didn't come, so I played with my third brother." Xia Anfeng stretched out his hand to rub his brother's head, "Are you in a good mood today, Brother Chang?"

His face was smeared with wound medicine by the second aunt, one side was white and the other was red, it was really funny, like an actor with a painted face.

Xia Pingchang pointed at his face and couldn't stop clapping and laughing.He wasn't angry either, he squatted down with a smile and talked with his brother against his forehead.

Bu Zhang stood aside with white sleeves on his hands, watched the two of them play around for a while, and said, "Just now, your eldest brother deliberately sent people away from Brother Chang, I don't know what you are thinking about."

Xia Anfeng hugged his younger brother with his left arm, and said in disbelief, "I can't, Brother Chang and his mother are siblings, so can you have any bad intentions for Brother Chang?"

Bu Zhangbai remained silent.

Xia Anfeng slowly patted his younger brother on the shoulder, thinking thoughtfully: "Just now I passed by the elder brother's house, and saw the boy who prepared my horse in the morning. He lowered his head quickly, but you reminded me , I looked at him several times on purpose. He belongs to the eldest brother."

Bu Zhangbai turned the silver needle out of his sleeve and showed it to him.The two looked at each other, and Xia Anfeng scratched his head with a wry smile.

"I didn't want to show it to you, lest you say that I was always suspicious of your elder brother. Xia Anfeng, I said that the cup of medicine you drank by mistake last year was brought out of the lady's room, but you didn't believe me. Now you see it with your own eyes. If you recognize that the boy preparing the horse is from your elder brother’s room, and you have a silver needle as evidence, you should believe me and be careful with your elder brother, right?”

"Brother is the eldest son, the orthodox heir of Lord Hou's mansion, I'm just the younger brother of a concubine—"

"Although your mother is a concubine, she is a foreign princess," Bu Zhangbai tugged at his long dark red hair, as if trying to get out all the innocent thoughts in this stupid boy's mind, "it may not be harmful to keep you , but without you, it would be of great benefit. Listen to me and be careful about everything. It is best to ask me before doing anything, do you know?"

Reluctantly, Xia Anfeng nodded.

Bu Zhangbai was satisfied, and said, "My aunt is looking for me, you can go with me."?
