subordinates dare not

By the time the wedding dress was picked up, it was dusk.

Meng Fuyuan and Bian Qingyu rubbed shoulders together, walking slowly through the bustling crowd. The only person accompanying them was Ming Er, who was carrying a cloth bag. Inside the bag was the excellent embroidery work that was about to be presented to the owner of Qiongguang Valley. wedding dress.

The rest of the shadow guards stayed in Zhulin Xiaozhu, not because of other reasons, but because Meng Fuyuan claimed that it would be impolite for a large group of shadow guards to pick up a small wedding dress, and Miss Su would probably feel that Wuwei Villa is really Too flamboyant.

This is the obvious reason.

Of course, in addition to this, there are reasons hidden in calculations, Meng Fuyuan can't say it directly, and it won't work if he says it.

The rest of the shadow guards stayed in Zhulin Xiaozhu to guard the gates for Zhuang Zhuang and Bian. Meng Fuyuan specially ordered that when he came back after picking up the wedding dress, the shadow guards could walk around freely and leave the bamboo forest Xiaozhu to go to the market. Take a turn, drink flower wine, enjoy dragon dance, and chat.

In mid-February, just after the New Year's Eve, the Lantern Festival is approaching, the market is very lively, the lights are on, the trees and silver flowers are on fire, and the lights of the flower market are like daytime.

At this time, it was getting dark quickly, and the sky was already as black as a pile of ink.

As for Meng Fuyuan and others, it was not until Chen Shi that they sent the wedding dress back to Zhulin Xiaozhu.

But during the festive season, it was still early enough to have a good time in the flower market. Meng Fuyuan stepped on the threshold of the gate and rewarded the shadow guard with a few taels of silver, when he saw someone flying towards the outside of the gate, causing a gust of wind.

Meng Fuyuan sighed with a smile, "Is this because you've been suffocating in your daily life?"

Bian Qingyu also laughed, "Maybe."

Ming Er handed over the wedding dress to Meng Fuyuan, reported to Meng Fuyuan, and disappeared, leaving only Bian Qingyu and Meng Fuyuan to walk to the wing at a leisurely pace.

Meng Fuyuan slowly put the wedding dress in the box, which was also very delicate, with four corners of gold foil, plum blossom relief, the wedding dress and the box together, it was a gift to Hua Qiongsheng in the next few days, the wedding dress The matter of this matter finally came to an end for the time being, Meng Fuyuan turned around, but saw Bian Qingyu still standing behind him, looking relaxed.

He was too calm and unhurried, as if he had a well-thought-out plan and everything was under control.

Meng Fuyuan then asked: "Is he sure to make moves tonight?"

"Not necessarily." Bian Qingyu took advantage of the situation and sat on the pear blossom wooden armchair beside him, "If the traitor is one of the shadow guards you left in Wuwei Villa, then there won't be one."

Meng Fuyuan lowered his voice and said: "I didn't say the whole thing. What I want to ask is, if the traitor is among the accompanying shadow guards, will he definitely take action?"

"He will." Bian Qingyu smiled ambiguously, "Because he understands that it is difficult to report in Qiongguang Valley, but it is easy to report in Jianzhou. You and I will leave for Qiongguang tomorrow. Gu, the next trip out of the valley will have to wait until the year of the monkey, and it is still uncertain? But these few hours tonight are his only chances."

"Of course I know that." Meng Fuyuan raised his eyebrows, "However, how can you be sure that the bait you released is attractive enough for the fish to take the bait? If Wei Chuge is aware of it, then he will not touch him in Wuwei. The ambush in the villa is too risky. If Wei Chuge is alert enough, he will not waste a vital and useful dark chess for a piece of insignificant information."

Bian Qingyu was speechless for a while, and many unclear expressions flashed across his face.

The surroundings were silent for a moment, only the howling wind of winter was left, struggling to squeeze in through the cracks in the window sills and tiles.

After a long silence, Bian Qingyu finally broke the silence, his voice was light and fluttering as if it was about to be blown away by the breeze——

"He will."

The smile on Bian Qingyu's face suddenly dimmed a lot, his eyes became deep and free, and finally stopped at a certain void, and then quickly lowered his eyes, as if to cover up the emotions emerging in his pupils, Bian Qingyu fell for himself After drinking a cup of tea, it suddenly occurred to me that the tea had been completely cold for a long time, and his distorted face appeared on the surface of the white porcelain cup containing the tea. The corners of his lips curled up, and he said softly: "He can't help it, and he wants to know too much..." With a faint sigh, "My secret."

The sigh that just fell made Meng Fuyuan couldn't help turning his gaze to Bian Qingyu. In his memory, Bian Qingyu has always been a fake smile, a flattering smile, a half-smile, a superficial smile, or a non-smile, Bian Qingyu seldom The only time when he showed such emotions was the first time in Zhulin Xiaozhu, when he told himself that he was poisoned and died soon.

However, at the moment when their eyes met, Bian Qingyu happened to raise his eyes, and saw that there was a vague smile between his brows and eyes, the fakeness was about to overflow, but it was impeccable.

Illusion?Meng Fuyuan thought.

"Does the owner have any plans tonight?" Bian Qingyu asked again.

"none."

"Then accompany me to the flower market." Bian Qingyu turned his wrist and poured the herbal tea on the ground, "Whether we move or not, the traitor has already moved, why not take advantage of this time to enjoy yourself in time, Enjoying the beautiful scenery of the festive season together, tonight will not be so difficult, do you think so?"

"Selling candied haws—"

"Stir-fried chestnuts just out of the pan—"

The bazaar was full of cries of hawking, beating gongs and drums, and it was very lively.

Meng Fuyuan has only one mood at this moment, and that is regret.It's rare for Bian Qingyu to talk to himself a few times, but which time did he not talk about those tricks and tricks?Talk about his schemes and plans?These are not things that can be mentioned in broad daylight, so Meng Fuyuan fell into deep thought, what can he chat with Bian Qingyu at this moment?

The resourceful and resourceful Mr. Meng Zhuang actually stumbled over this trivial problem, which can be described as "an old horse stumbled".

Who would have thought that the alliance has been in place for more than five months, nearly half a year, and they have exchanged several letters, the two of them are very polite, even superficially courteous, and have nothing to say except power play?

Both of them were speechless for a while, as if neither of them wanted to break the tacit silence.

The yellow candle flames reflected on his body, making Bian Qingyu's sharp nose and lip line much softer. Although he is not smiling at the moment, it does not make people feel hypocritical. Perhaps the teleporting lights and moonlight of the flower market are too confusing People, warm and connected into a sea of ​​light, make people unintentionally fade away their thick masks.

"I'm going to buy a lantern." Bian Qingyu said suddenly.

Meng Fuyuan nodded in agreement, and then followed him to the place selling lanterns.

A simple shelf is made out of bamboo poles, and all kinds of lanterns are hung on the slanted branches, some are made of hibiscus and peonies, some are in the shape of white jade rabbits, and there are the most common octagonal palace lanterns surrounded by flowers and paper, which are colorful. The workmanship is exquisite and dazzling.

Sweeping his gaze from top to bottom, finally, Bian Qingyu took down a yellow circular lantern with the simplest style, and raised his eyes to look at the old woman, "How to buy this?"

The old woman who wanted to sell lanterns answered irrelevantly, "Oh, my lord, you really have a good eye! This lantern looks beautiful when lit, and it has a great meaning! This one! It's called a jade pan lantern! You know a poem, my lord, which reads 'I don't know when I'm young. The moon is called a white jade plate, and I hope that people will live forever and share the beauty of the moon, which means that relatives and friends are reunited!"

Meng Fuyuan and Bian Qingyu looked at each other: "..."

Bian Qingyu couldn't hold back a chuckle.

Seeing this, the old woman thought it was her talent that had impressed the handsome young man in front of her, so she said persistently: "This jade pan lantern is a pair with that jade rabbit lantern. The jade rabbit always stays with the full moon as a companion, so if you have a pair of lamps on a jade plate and a jade rabbit, if you have a sweetheart or a confidant, you can also give him one."

It is obviously a nonsensical rhetoric, and I am afraid that it is just to deceive Bian Qingyu into buying an extra lamp. In addition to the "five-character quatrains" that he made up before, Meng Fuyuan finds it interesting. He does not refute the old woman's face, but pretends to be surprised. He nodded and said, "So there is such a saying."

The old woman said with confidence, "Of course."

Meng Fuyuan looked at Bian Qingyu, and saw that he had already taken off the jade rabbit lamp that the old woman said was "exquisite, with excellent meaning" from the bamboo stand, looked carefully at it with lowered eyes, Meng Fuyuan thought that Bian Qingyu would be the same as himself, and smiled But he didn't want to, he seemed to be thinking about the truth in the old woman's words.

Meng Fuyuan couldn't help asking: "You don't really want to—"

"Then let's buy them all." Bian Qingyu looked away and smiled at the old woman.

Meng Fuyuan was startled, and then stopped talking, with Bian Qingyu's knowledge, it is impossible not to detect the old woman's flaws, one willing to sell the other, so he just let him go.

After paying the copper coins, Bian Qingyu walked slowly with a jade plate lamp in his left hand and a jade rabbit lamp in his right hand. The polite smile from when he bought the lamps still remained on the corners of his lips, but it was the first time that it made people feel that they were against the backdrop of the lights. When it came to reality, there was continuous laughter and noise in his ears, and Bian Qingyu might also be in a good mood.

Meng Fuyuan glanced at Bian Qingyu's expression, then looked at the two palace lanterns three times, before he could speak, Bian Qingyu seemed to feel his "too revealing" gaze suddenly, and moved his right hand holding the lamp handle from his side to On the chest, he explained lightly: "It's not for you."

Meng Fuyuan: "..."

Meng Fuyuan also knew that the lamp would of course not fall into his hands, but the other party's act of protecting food like a chicken made him feel very fresh. Meng Fuyuan pretended to be ignorant of the world, and went to set Bian Qingyu's words, "But you want two What's the use of a flower lamp? When you go back tonight, don't you rest in a small bamboo forest?"

Bian Qingyu was taken aback.

Then he bowed his head and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's rare for me to be confused. I even forgot, this lantern can't be sent out." After a pause, Bian Qingyu said apologetically, "But even so, the lantern can't be sent to you .If you want, I will buy another one with you.”

Meng Fuyuan's mind is active, he probably understands what Bian Qingyu is thinking, he has most likely listened to the old woman's words, so the person he wants to send to is either a sweetheart or a bosom friend.

Thinking of this, Meng Fuyuan secretly slandered, even if Bian Qingyu sent him off, he would not want it, who would want to be Laoshizi's confidant with the head of Bian, who is full of empty words and lies, aloof and scheming.

"Thank you, no need." Meng Fuyuan refused without thinking.
