Chapter 21 Over the Wall on a Rainy Night
During the trip to Cainan Courtyard, I left with great enthusiasm and returned with bad luck.
Mu Si was so defensive that it was difficult to open up his mind for a while, and Pei Shu didn't have much time to spend time with him.
And there is no way to force it.
In the current situation, recruiting and forming alliances are not possible, so we can only do the next best thing and negotiate a deal with him straight to the point.
When it comes to the other person's life experience that he has painstakingly concealed for many years, Cainan Courtyard has mixed ears and eyes, so it is not the place to talk.
So Pei Shu called Chai Xin.
Chai Xin was a straight man who couldn't turn around, so Pei Shu's instructions made him a little confused.
The lady seemed to have something serious to do, but he had been to Cainan Courtyard once, and it didn't look like a serious place.
It's okay to have fun behind someone's back, but it's not good to break into a house, right?
The bloody lessons of Beiyuan lie there!
Chai Xin was torn between being a direct minister and a flatterer.
He was as big as a goose, and he stood there with a confused look on his face. Pei Shu didn't even look at him, and ordered him to go back quickly.
This knife is slightly dull.
A knife that is not sharp is usually due to lack of sharpening.
Pei Shu didn't believe it. She couldn't sharpen a knife quickly. She just asked someone to talk to her. This small matter would not go wrong.
However, Pei Shu still felt relieved too early.
At night, we collect silk and bamboo in the south courtyard.
The men in the pavilions and waterside pavilions were in a wild posture, lying or sitting in a bunch, entwining and behaving in an ambiguous manner.
Chai Xin's face turned red and his heart skipped a beat when he saw it. When he arrived at Mu Si's Yilan Xiaozhu, he blushed and said with a flat belly: "Quickly, pack up and follow me."
It’s not a good place to stay for a long time!
Seeing Mu Si standing still, Chai Xin became anxious.
"My mistress asked you to go to bed because she thinks highly of you. What are you doing with me? Come on and follow me quickly if you are sensible. You are like a girl. Why are you just lingering?"
The female gentleman urged her anxiously.
When you arrive, you will inevitably have to wash and rinse yourself, and the female monarch will make love to you. If you delay and delay again and again, won't it be daybreak?
He had already planned to wait for the female queen to finish what she was doing, and then secretly send her out of the house before dawn.
Mu Si, who has been dormant in business for many years but does not sell his body, is extremely speechless.
Where did this rude martial artist come from? There really is no one left for the female queen of the Pei family!
If he hadn't had a relationship with Pei Shu, and his impression of her was acceptable, he would have suspected that the queen had deliberately sent such a person to humiliate him.
Of course Mu Si couldn't go with him, so he politely invited him out.
According to Chai Xin's own idea, he would just knock people out without knowing what they were doing, stuff them into sacks and carry them away.
But before coming, the master emphatically told me that I would like to use it.
He was not allowed to use force.
It's a pity that he had no place to release his brute strength, so he had to go home in disgrace.
Pei Shu listened to his withered head report the process, and her hand holding the ice bowl trembled.
He almost spit out a mouthful of ice slag.
Sleeping with me? Which of his ears could detect what I meant?
Could you please stop speculating blindly? With his shallow mind, he started to figure out his intentions...
Pei Shu sighed melancholy, this knife is really a bit of a grindstone.
Fortunately, I wasn't stupid enough to force him to come here, so I wouldn't offend anyone to death.
God! Pei Shu was shocked by her own thoughts. Have I set such low standards for my subordinates?
It's night, at five o'clock in the morning.
It rained heavily, and the entire imperial city was shrouded in clouds of mist.
The sound of crackling water covered up the movement, and a small squeaking sound came from the open windows, and the moist water vapor brought in a sweet and cold fragrance.
The person on the bed opened the quilt, held a fire folding bag in one hand, and drew a sword with the other hand. He stepped on the floor with his bare feet and stared coldly at the uninvited guest who came to visit late at night.
Distant eyebrows and fox eyes.
Under the dim light and shadow, Pei Shu untied her cloak and said with a smile,
"It's rude to come here to disturb you at night. Mr. Mu doesn't need to be so solicitous. The ground is cold."
Mu Sishen put on his wooden clogs with no expression on his face and went to light the lamp.
The bronze chandeliers lit up one after another, reflecting a bright smile.
Mu Si in the middle of the night felt alienated from others thousands of miles away,
"Sneaking into a man's bed at night, this kind of thieves behavior, is really not the behavior of a gentleman."
Pei Shu thought to herself and sat in front of the low table: "I visited you at night, and I came up with this strategy because of my unspeakable secret. I hope Meng Wulang will bear with me."
"Boom", the thunder was accompanied by lightning, splitting a hole in the black night.
The three words Meng Wulang were like a muffled thunder hitting Tianling Gai. Mu Si's mind went blank for a moment, and his expression turned cold for an instant.
The charming appearance in front of others was peeled off inch by inch. He stared at Pei Shu who made an astonishing statement with sharp eyes, like a sharp cone coming out of his bag.
He blew the porcelain whistle slowly, and the black shadow outside the window shook.
Layers of green curtains were raised and lowered one after another, four swordsmen were stationed at the southeast and northwest corners, and black-clad archers were in place on the carved beams.
An encirclement from which there is no escape is formed in an instant.
The room was filled with a chilling atmosphere.
"I really didn't make a mistake. Master Shaowu has managed the business well in the Imperial Capital these years." Pei Shu stretched out her slender fingers and poured herself a cup of herbal tea.
She was wearing a narrow-sleeved night jacket under her cloak. She leaned forward to reach for the teapot, revealing a small section of her white wrist, which looked very eye-catching in the murderous atmosphere.
Meng Bufan's eyebrows darkened: "A pouring rainy night is the best time to kill people, silence their mouths, destroy their corpses, and eliminate all traces. How can you, the queen, not be afraid of being alone here?"
Pei Shu took a sip of tea calmly: "What's there to be afraid of? You won't really kill me."
This is true. If it were an unknown person, or someone with a less prominent status, just kill them, and deal with them from beginning to end, so that no one can find anything.
But the head of a majestic palace has Lushan Mountain behind him, so he really can't touch her at will.
Even so, she was too calm.
It was clear that he was bluffing. Faced with the sudden killing array, everyone should have some slight fluctuations.
This guy is lucky enough to be unmoved and has the leisure to drink tea.
It's ridiculous for her to look so nervous.
Meng Bufan was embarrassed, his chest was tight, he pursed his lips and said nothing, and was in a dilemma.
"Young Master, why don't you sit down and let's talk about a deal." Pei Shu said with a faint smile after seeing his expression clearly.
He stepped back and said with a cold expression, "It's better for you to call me by your nickname."
Pei Shu followed Shan Ruliu and said in a warm and soft voice,
"Mr. Mu's correction is reasonable. I'm used to it. One day I accidentally blurt it out and cause disaster."
Maybe she was too docile, Mu Si was startled for a moment, this lady...he couldn't see through it.
Most of the time, her behavior is that of a noble lady, gentle and graceful, and occasionally she has the unique playful and cunning attitude of a young girl.
Having dealt with her three times, Mu Si knew that she was far from being as gentle and harmless as she appeared.
It was only today that he suddenly realized that when she came to recruit Huai Sanlang, it was Xiang Zhuang who wanted to dance with Pei Gong.
If Mr. Xie hadn't stepped in, and Huaisaburo really wanted to join her, he might have fallen into the trap without even realizing it.
