Chapter 336 n comnted on a chick
Du Yao beca even more curious and asked with his big eyes blinking, “Ah? You an, even our boss was stunned? Is there anything that distracts him in a battle? He is the dreadful Lu Jiangbei, known as the ‘Sword in White, Universe in Sleeve’ in Jianghu!”
Jiang Pi glanced at Duan Xiaolou and then said, “Master Duan, then I’ll tell him. It is you that want to stay here to listen to us. Well, the dagger was engraved with a lady, and she was no one else but Miss He, whom Duan Xiaolou has a crush on. Three years ago, we went to a Taoist temple to search Rebelling Party, where we unluckily t Miss He Danggui.”
He Danggui outside the door suddenly ca to realize that ng Xuan was hurt because of this! He saw an unrelated man having a dagger with her face, and then was stabbed by Lu Jiangbei out of astonishnt.
Back then, she had seen the kind of dagger engraved with her portrait from Duan Xiaolou. She was told that it was made by Liao Zhiyuan. Later, she heard from Qing’er that the villain Liao Zhiyuan had made more than one dagger and sent them to others. He was a jerk. Unexpectedly, Lu Jiangbei was also using this dagger. Sure enough, you couldn’t judge a book from its cover.
Du Yao was interested in this gossip. He asked while eating lon seeds, “How did that Miss He capture Duan Xiaolou’s heart? Why didn’t she love Duan Xiaolou? Why did you say eting her was unlucky? Why our boss has a dagger engraved with a lady who is loved by Duan Xiaolou?”
Jiang Pi explained in detail to him, “Dear audience, the story started three years ago, when Duan Xiaolou fell in love with a humble chick, but she was very proud and arrogant. She was good at attracting a man and was quite calculating. She gave Duan Xiaolou a bit of sweetness first, saying that she would try to date him. As a result, Duan Xiaolou stayed in Yangzhou City and refused to go back. The official docunts from the capital had been sent to him again and again, but he was not willing to return to the capital because of this chick.”
“Try to date?” Du Yao grasped the keyword, “How far they had reached?”
Jiang Pi imagined obscenely, “One is a little southern beauty, and the other is a sturdy man. What else could they do?” Said so, he looked at the silent Duan Xiaolou, grinned, and then continued, “For the details, you should ask Master Duan. In short, they had been entangled with each other for more than half a year. Duan Xiaolou forgot his ho and his mother. Later, his mother was so angry that she made an engagent for him. Duan Xiaolou was filial, so he imdiately agreed to the engagent to calm the anger of his mother. But he beca anxious when he thought of He Danggui for fear that she would get angry when she learned the fact. So, Duan Xiaolou got a bad idea.”
“Ah?” Du Yao got more excited, and he even stopped eating lon seeds. “That little girl was very jealous. The engagent was settled by his mother, and that lady was from a noble family. Why did she have the right to be jealous? Besides, Guan’s Family is also powerful and respectable. I have t Miss Guan, who was a very nice person, perfect to be Duan Xiaolou’s wife.”
Jiang Pi shook his head and sighed, “Too late! Du Yao, just in three months during your staying in Fengyang City, Duan Xiaolou broke the engagent with Guan Yun and deeply hurt her. It is incurable.”
Du Yao turned his head and looked at Duan Xiaolou in shock and asked, “Seriously? Do you want a girl who cos from a humble family to be your wife? Though you cherish her, you can’t take it seriously. Are you crazy?”
Duan Xiaolou started coughing again, which made He Danggui heartbreaking. Jiang Pi poured a cup of tea for him to rinse his mouth while explaining for him, “That little beautiful girl was not from a humble family. She was born of a concubine. Her mother was a decent woman from a noble family, but she was demoted to a concubine for bad conduct. Later, she ran away from her husband’s house with her daughter and never ca back. In other words, He Danggui is a concubine’s daughter not recognized by her family, and she is considered the taint of her family. Later, her mother remarried, but she was abandoned by her second husband for so reasons.”
He Danggui sneered speechlessly, while Duan Xiaolou picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth silently. However, Du Yao was very interested, “So many twists and turns! She’s more pathetic than the main character in the script for story-telling. Tribulation creates talents and makes her different from ordinary ladies. It is no wonder that she is cleverer than others. She not only made Master Duan fall in love with her but defeated his wife.”
This ti, Duan Xiaolou finally corrected him, “I did not take Guan Yun as my wife! Besides, Miss He is not like what you said.”
“Oh?” The two n fond of gossip showed their interests at the sa ti and asked, “What do you an?”
Duan Xiaolou rinsed his mouth, closed his eyes, and laid down on the deck chair with hides back behind him. He pretended to sleep and said lazily, “I’m tired. You two continue to chat and let hear your voice. Otherwise, I would feel anxious and think everything is unreal.”
He Danggui worried about him. Duan Xiaolou was hurt by ng Xuan? Was it an internal injury? Was he injured seriously? Did he get fat or thin?
Driven by a strong desire to see him, she stood up and went in half a circle around the inn, but she found no windows there. There was only a row of skylights above, where cold winter sunlight shone in. However, the three n in the room were all top kung fu masters and they had been learning kung fu since she was still a baby, so jumping on the roof without being noticed by them was impossible.
Her moves now might be heard by them. They did not care about her just because this was an inn and people would co here and go. They did not want to pay attention to her going around a big house without entering it. Indeed! She felt her behavior was very strange as well. Why did she linger around but not get in the room? She should just return the money to Du Yao and greet Duan Xiaolou by the way, saying “Long ti no see.” She suddenly understood why did Qing’er call her a “little turtle,” because she always liked to shrink in her shell.
She kept going in a circle around the house and searching, and finally found a small gap between two wooden walls. What a precious and lovely gap, she thought. Through it, she can see whether the person got fat or thin, tanned or white.
She held her breath and leaned closer to the small gap to gain a clearer vision. However, the sight that appeared in front of her shocked her. That was...
n with ice-made masks!
In the lobby on the first floor of the inn, three n sat on a table to the north. One of them was Du Yao who robbed her bay horse last night. He was the only one without the mask. The other two were both wearing transparent ice-made masks. The one leaning against a broad-backed deck chair with hides must be Duan Xiaolou. She was not sure, because he was so far away and was blocked by an ice-made mask.
How could it be? Were these masks only supplied for the imperial guards? Duan Xiaolou and his fellows all cultivated icy Zhenqi. Maybe this kind of ice-made mask was related to it?
She was familiar with this ice-made mask, seemingly transparent but able to hide one’s face completely. On the shadow walls of the seventh stage, Gao Shenjun who declared himself to be the “pri minister” and ca from the imperial guards also wore this ice-made mask. He was the slayer of her in two lives before. The only difference was that Gao Shenjun wore a mask that covered his entire face, while Duan Xiaolou and Jiang Pi wore half-face masks extended from the forehead to the philtrum.
Why did he wear a mask? Was Duan Xiaolou okay? Looking at him from a distance, He Danggui felt his figure seed to be as healthy and strong as before. That was good news!
After peeping him from a distance for a while, He Danggui returned to the backyard. She wanted to wait for a server of the inn coming out and let him bring the money to Du Yao. Then, she should leave there. ng Xuan was suffering from the cold poison and was lying on her bed, waiting for her treatnt. ng Xuan was childish! Why did he have to hurt Duan Xiaolou?
While she was lingering around and couldn’t get what she wanted, the two gossip mongers in the room were still digging her stories. They even talked about her stepfather He Fu’s life experience.
“Oh?” Du Yao cupped his chin with interest. “It turns out that He Fu, who was sentenced by his majesty, was the second husband of He Danggui’s mother. The world is so small! I have t that guy, a scumbag. Why did her mother choose him? She would never have a happy ending with this man.”
Jiang Pi raised an eyebrow and said, “I’m not her mother. You should better ask her. Maybe it was because of his good look. Won are all superficial animals, but that Miss He is not. However, she is too gloomy and too difficult to deal with. She has hurt Master Duan a lot. He even has done things against laws for her, but she still doesn’t give a shit. Instead, she uses it as an excuse to throw Duan Xiaolou into hell with one sentence.”
“Oh? What is that?” Du Yao felt that today’s decision not to be on duty was correct and wise! Even a dismissal would be worth it!”
Jiang Pi picked his nose carelessly and squinted at Duan Xiaolou, who seed to be asleep under the ice-made mask. Jiang Pi shook his head, “I dare not repeat this in front of Duan Xiaolou. He won’t bear it. Am I right, Master Duan? Are you still in love with Miss He?”
Duan Xiaolou was silent as if he was asleep because his breathing was very light.
He Danggui wondered if he was in a coma due to his severe injuries. She decided to check his wounds while he was in a coma. However, when she almost stood up, a terrifying shout ca from the room. That was Du Yao’s voice.
“Hey! Guys! I have a great discovery!”
Jiang Pi was drinking tea and choked on it out of his shouting. He said angrily, “What the hell? Don’t you see Master Duan is sleeping? He hasn’t slept for a few days. Now, he finally could sleep but you want to wake him up?” His high-sounding statent was clearly the complaint because of his choking.
“No! Jiang Pi, I did make a major discovery! It’s about He Danggui!” Du Yao was very excited as if he had taken excessive Wushi Powder. He was even dancing there.
“What did you find?” Duan Xiaolou opened his sleepy eyes after hearing that.
