Chapter 230: What is the Meaning of Knitting Brows

~9 min read 1,777 words

Lips stained with grease, the bowl falls with trotter soup remaining.

Wang Tai put down the bowl with satisfaction and sighed:

"'Abandon and don't talk about it again, work hard to add meals.' People, you have to eat well at all times. If you eat well, your mood will be good. Yuyuan, do you really not want to eat some?"

The black-clothed man with an eye patch took back his gaze from downstairs and bowed: "Thank you, my lord, I'm not hungry."

"This is not a matter of hunger or not, forget it, you won't enjoy happiness... What did you see?"

The black-clothed man said: "Both are masters. The tall one's leg technique is very good, the sword technique is not high, but it's okay. Looking at her skills, it seems there is a way in the army..."

Wang Tai asked curiously: "You still understand the way in the army?"

Wuqian didn't see this, because Wuqian is purely a person in the rivers and lakes, so this Yuyuan...

The black-clothed man was silent and did not answer. Wang Tai did not continue to ask, but turned to say: "What about the other one?"

The man shook his head: "Can't see, a bit like the close-fitting short fight of the Qiongdu barbarians in Shu, but not the same. She practices killing techniques."

"Aren't all martial arts killing techniques?"

"She practices one-hit kills, every move is fatal, without extra movements. As long as she gets close, killing is just in the blink of an eye. Just now she didn't have the heart to kill, and didn't take the initiative, but the tall one still fell into the wind."

"How is it compared to you?" Wang Tai asked suddenly.

"Didn't fight, hard to say."

"The manager of Ruyi Tower is named Zhao Quan, a local, and his foundation is very clean. Nothing can be found out. But the more nothing can be found out, the more suspicious it is. I wanted to let you explore, but if that little girl is there..."

Wang Tai pondered.

The black-clothed man said: "It doesn't matter, as long as you don't get entangled by her, it's not difficult to get away."

Wang Tai thought for a while and said:

"No, a single tree is hard to support. Wuqian was the one who went alone and was ambushed. You have to bring more good hands, divide into several teams, and have support. This time, just touch the bottom. If you can't do it, try not to do it. If you are discovered, pretend to be a thief, just steal one or two things and leave, don't make a big noise, and don't kill anyone. Wuqian is 80-90% trapped inside. If you see Wuqian, don't rush to save him, just find the location. I'm afraid of startling the snake and transferring people to other places, that would be troublesome."

"Yes, I will arrange it, my lord, don't worry. When to do it?"

Wang Tai drank a glass of wine, put down the glass, and spat out two words: "Tonight."

Xie Xinghan was eating fish.

Eating with concentration, slowly and methodically.

She used chopsticks to precisely separate each piece of fish meat from the fish bone, then put it into her mouth, chewing slowly, as if a quiet cat eating dry food, eating with such concentration, without distraction, isolating everything outside.

Xiao Ning stood aside, holding her breath, not daring to make half a sound.

As time passed, the fish meat on the plate gradually decreased, and finally only a long, complete white fish bone remained, without a trace of extra crumbs, and even the soup had not splashed half a point.

Xie Xinghan chewed carefully until she swallowed the last piece of fish meat, then put down the chopsticks in her hand, exhaled lightly, as if she had just finished a not-so-easy job.

Xiao Ning brought the gargle basin and silk handkerchief. Xie Xinghan gargled, wiped the corners of her lips with the silk handkerchief, looked in the mirror, and said: "Now, it's time to see Sister Xiao."

Hearing her own young mistress finally speak, Xiao Ning felt relieved!

"What?!"

Xiao Baoyue was shocked to hear that Xie Xinghan was visiting.

The first reaction was a guilty conscience!

Eh?

That's not right!

Why am I guilty???

Inexplicable!!!

I didn't tell her I was here, it was for her own good!

No, I have to change places.

But how did she find this place?

Could it be that guy...

No, he wouldn't dare!

Xiao Baoyue gritted her teeth whenever she thought of Wang Yang! After whipping Wang Yang in her heart, she continued to think about how her whereabouts were exposed, and then quickly thought of the matter of Xin Yi saying she was going to teach Wang Yang a lesson before:

"Xin Yi! Get out here!"

A martial maid hurried into the hall to report: "Young Mistress, Commander Yi said she was poisoned and is sitting and adjusting her breath."

Xiao Baoyue's face changed, and she asked hurriedly: "What poison did she get?"

"The subordinate doesn't know. I heard Commander Yi say it was a foreign strange poison, but Young Master Wang has already helped her drive out most of it with the Arcane Finger..."

Seeing the young mistress's face was not right, the martial maid didn't dare to continue.

Xiao Baoyue clenched her palms, her teeth gritted, took a deep breath, and said word by word:

"Let her, now, immediately, come, see me."

The martial maid was scared and embarrassed, stuttering:

"Yi, Commander Yi said, during the breath adjustment, she must not be disturbed, otherwise the meridians will break and she will die miserably..."

"If she doesn't come, I'll make her die even more miserably!!!"

Baoyue roared like an evil dragon for the third time!!!!

In the private cabinet of Ruyi Tower, Xie Xinghan sat alone drinking tea, Xiao Ning stood by, three Xie family maids stood on the left and right of the lower steps, and two Xie family servants with short sticks at their waists guarded the door.

Manager Zhao stood outside the screen, bowing and asking: "I don't know why the noble person called the little one..."

Xie Xinghan's gaze remained on the teacup, as if observing something interesting. The manager felt strange, not knowing whether to repeat it again, when he heard a light voice from behind the screen:

"Are you done asking?"

Manager Zhao's face was bitter: "The little one really doesn't know who to ask. This shop is the little one's own industry. The little one really hasn't heard of a lady surnamed Xiao. If it's a diner, maybe there will be one? It's just that the shop opens for business, and everyone who comes is a guest, and I won't ask the guest's surname. I don't know if it's convenient for the noble person to say it in detail, or say the age, identity, and appearance characteristics of this Xie Xie Niangzi Xiao, so that the little one can mobilize the guys in the shop to find them among the regular customers."

Xie Xinghan put down the teacup: "Since that's the case, there's no need, thank you, manager."

Manager Zhao hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, if the noble person has anything, just order."

Xie Xinghan got up and left with Xiao Ning and others.

Manager Zhao bent his waist and sent Xie Xinghan to the door all the way.

When Xie Xinghan was about to go out, her lotus steps stopped, and a faint smile hung on the corners of her mouth:

"By the way, tell Sister Xiao that the tea here is not good. If you don't focus on your purpose, you will be condensed in your spirit. I think Sister Xiao's mind is not on the tea."

Manager Zhao's heart tightened, and he was about to explain, but saw Xie Xinghan go without looking back...

Emerald curtains and fragrant carriages on quiet paths,

The wind shakes the curtains and moves the light waves.

What is the meaning of knitting brows,

Like holding something in the heart,

Facing the smoke and vines without speaking.

"Young Mistress, could it be that Xie Xie Niangzi Xiao is indeed not there, only Xin Yi is alone?"

In the carriage, Xiao Ning showed a puzzled look and asked Xie Xinghan softly.

Xie Xinghan took back her gaze from outside the carriage window and pondered for a moment:

"No, Xin Yi is Sister Xiao's personal guard and will not be too far from Sister Xiao. If Xin Yi were alone, she would have been tricked by Wang Yang to be a maid..."

Xiao Ning tilted her head and continued to speculate:

"Then could it be a coincidence? Could it be that Young Master Wang just likes the food in this restaurant, so he often goes to eat, and today he just happened to meet Xin Yi, and they started fighting by chance. Maybe Xie Xie Niangzi Xiao is not in Ruyi Tower, but nearby?"

"No." Xie Xinghan answered without hesitation.

"Why?" Xiao Ning asked curiously.

Because that guy is not someone who goes to a restaurant every few days!

When they were in the same carriage for the first time, in order not to treat her to Xiangxue Tower, he fooled her with a lot of flowery words. Later, when she thought about it carefully, what ancient cookbook, what wins in a "strange" word, in the end, wasn't it to save money!!

Although Ruyi Tower is not as expensive as Xiangxue Tower, Wang Yang would definitely not go there often!

Unless the restaurant treats him for free, or pays him money, then there is a possibility...

However, Xie Xinghan only thought about these words in her heart and didn't say them out.

Although Xiao Ning was curious why her young mistress was so sure, since the young mistress didn't answer, she could only hide her doubts in her heart and asked instead:

"If Xie Xie Niangzi Xiao is there, why avoid seeing her?"

Xie Xinghan knocked her jade fingers idly. After a few times, her fingertips paused, and she said leisurely:

"This question, Wang Yang will answer."

Then she raised her volume and ordered the coachman: "Change the route, go to Haojing Lane!"

Xiao Ning was stunned and worried: "Young Master Wang won't say..."

Xie Xinghan blinked her black and white eyes, and her spirit was flying between her glances:

"Believe it or not, I only need to use a little trick, and I can even ask his childhood name!"

Xiao Ning had star eyes: "Young Mistress is so amazing!"

Xie Xinghan smiled lightly, calm and composed. ===== CHAPTER 231 =====
