Chapter 12 Section 12

Sure enough, he prepared a big bag of new clothes, I have never seen Li Cheng Yin wearing civilian clothes, I just feel that it is indescribably awkward.It's not ugly, but it's just too unlike his usual look. "Do you want to put on a fake beard?" He excitedly turned out the fake beard in the package to show me, "In this way, no one will recognize us." "Do you want to wear night clothes?" He excitedly said He turned out the night clothes in the package and showed me, "It's no problem to fly over the eaves and walls." "Do you want to bring the sweat medicine?" He excitedly turned out the sweat medicine in the package and showed it to me, "Ten and eight of them will be numb like this." There is absolutely no problem."...I really can't take it anymore, Your Highness, you are going to visit a kiln, not to murder and set fire to rob a grain bank...I couldn't bear it: "Just bring enough money." Needless to say, Li Cheng Yin is really rich and generous, as soon as I said I had enough money, he dug out a pile of horseshoe gold from under the bag, tsk tsk, he could buy the whole Mingyufang.

After I changed into men's clothes, Li Chengyin kept laughing, until I viciously threatened not to take him there, he managed to hold back his laughter. I was about to ask A'Du to come with us, but Li Chengyin refused to take her with him.I said: "A'Du is not by my side, I will not get used to it." Li Chengyin said with a straight face: "It is enough to have me by your side." "But what if..." "You don't believe that I can protect you?" You?" I sighed, who was stabbed by the assassin last time, who was stabbed to death and almost couldn't survive... But when I thought of the assassin's sword, I felt a little guilty, so I didn't do it again. Persisted, but quietly gestured to A'Du.A'Du understands what I mean, she will follow us in secret.

So, together with Li Chengyin, I slipped out of the East Palace without anyone noticing.Yong Niang must have thought that Li Chengyin and I were in the inner hall, and no one else had noticed our whereabouts.I am quite happy, because I like to sneak out of the palace to play, even if there is an extra Li Chengyin today, I still feel very happy. Huan slipped out of the palace to play, even if there is an extra Li Chengyin today, I still feel very happy. After leaving the East Palace, I realized that it was raining.The cold rain hit my face, and it was cold to the bones. I couldn't help worrying. If it rained heavily, tomorrow's lantern viewing would definitely lose a lot of fun.It rained heavily the year before last, although bamboo sheds were set up in the neighborhood and lights were still hung up, but it was not as interesting as the bright moon in the sky and the lanterns like the sea.

The bluestone slabs were quickly wet by the rain, and the horseshoes made a crisp sound when they stepped on it.The leaves of the willow trees on both sides of the street have long since fallen, and the sparse branches look like unkempt hair, covering the shops on both sides. The dim lights are being lit in the shops, and colorful lights are also hung on the long street not far away.Tomorrow is Shangyuan, the restaurants and teahouses are overcrowded, and the cars on the street come and go like running water.Shangjing is so bustling, especially before the festival, the bustling is faintly tinged with electricity and tranquility, like a newlywed who is about to leave the court, grooming meticulously, only waiting for tomorrow.

When we dismounted in front of Mingyufang, an attentive boy came forward to hold the reins and took the horse to the stable in the backyard. Tonight's Mingyufang was also extremely lively, with people upstairs and downstairs.Both Li Chengyin and I were drenched half wet, Aunt Wang saw me as if she was seeing a living treasure, she was so happy that she was about to open her voice and yell as usual, luckily I stopped first: "Auntie, First find a room for us to change clothes, my elder brother is coming back for the first time, and he is afraid of strangers." Aunt Wang looked at Li Cheng Yin's attire, and when her snobby eyes saw the pearl on Li Cheng Yin's hat, she immediately I was so happy that I squinted: "Of course, of course, please come to the two young masters." When I went up the stairs, I asked Aunt Wang: "Where is Yueniang?" "A guest came just now, so Yueniang went to play." I think it's very rare. According to Yueniang's lovesickness last time, based on my friendship with her, she only played two pieces for me, and her expression was still listless.Yueniang is not only the oiran of Mingyufang, she is also one of the best figures in the teaching workshop in Shangjing. She doesn't pretend to be an ordinary high-ranking official, and she didn't even take Pei Zhao to heart when I brought Pei Zhao here last time. .So I couldn't help but ask curiously: "Which honored guest is this, who has such ability?" It's time to come again." Oh? !

I felt my curiosity was greatly aroused, so I pestered Mrs. Wang to take a look.Aunt Wang seemed very troubled: "This...guests are drinking in the pavilion...the rules must not be broken..." I tried hard and soft for a while, but Aunt Wang still didn't let go.She didn't do business here for a day or two, so she would definitely not want to ruin her reputation.She treated us very well, let us into a gorgeous room, gave us two sets of fine clothes, ordered two pretty maids to change for us, and went out to prepare the banquet for us. I was afraid that my woman would reveal her identity by disguising herself as a man, so as soon as she left, I threw those two pretty maids out and changed the wet clothes by myself.Li Cheng Yin asked me in a low voice: "What are you going to do?" I looked at him with a smirk: "What should I do?" "Don't be stupid, I know you will find a way to see that distinguished guest!"" Of course! Yueniang is my sister who is married to Jinlan, what if she is cheated by a bad man? I must go and take a look!" Li Chengyin hummed, and said: "What do you know about men? Good or bad?" Why don't you understand?I understand!

I pointed to his nose: "Don't bully me, I don't understand! A man like you is a bad man!" Li Cheng Yin's face was so ugly: "Then who is a good man?" Of course, a man like Dad is a good man , but if I bring out my father, he will definitely continue to bicker with me.So I had an idea, and said: "A man like Father is a good man." Li Cheng Yin's complexion was even more ugly, as if he couldn't hold his breath, but he couldn't say that his own father was not a good man, So he finally shut up and stopped arguing with me. I took him out of the house, walked through the corridor with ease, checked that there was no one around, and pulled him into another room.

There was no light in the room, it was pitch black, and I couldn't see my fingers.I fumbled and fastened the door behind me, then went to touch Li Chengyin's robe belt. Li Chengyin couldn't help being stiff when I turned around and hugged him like this, but he didn't push me away, instead he let me touch him around.But I couldn't find it after I touched it, he finally couldn't help asking me: "What are you going to do?" "Shh! Didn't you bring the tinder? Take it out and use it." Li Chengyin took out the tinder and stuffed it in In my hand, it seemed to be angry, but he was angry with me all day long, and I didn't take it to heart. I blew on the tinder and lit the candle on the table, and then said: "I want to disguise myself, go and see Yueniang's distinguished guest." Li Chengyin said: "I want to go too!" I opened the cage, took things out, and said to him without looking up: "You can't go!" "Why can't you go?" Let me go!" I took out all the rouge and gouache and put them on the table, then said with a smile: "I'm going to dress up as a woman, can you go?" Li Chengyin was really embarrassed, but just as I sat down triumphantly While doing makeup in front of the mirror, Li Chengyin suddenly said: "I will also dress up as a woman!" I fell off the bed to the ground with a "bang".

My butt, it hurts from the fall... Until Li Cheng Yin pulled me up, I was still throbbing in pain. Li Chengyin said: "Anyway, I want to be with you." I looked at the sky speechlessly: "I'm going to see that man, what are you going to do?" "I'm so stunned, I'm going to vomit blood, I only knew Li Chengyin was a rogue, I never thought that he would be so rogue, in order to see Huakui Yue Niang, he was willing to make such a decision, even pretending to be a woman .Sure enough, the peony flower died, and being a ghost is also romantic.I glared at him: "Okay, come here!" "What are you doing?" I saw myself in the mirror smiling ferociously: "Of course it's for you...to make up for you!" Don't tell me, Li Chengyin A handsome face, even dressed as a woman is strangely good-looking.

I combed his hair, put on makeup for him, put hairpins on, painted his forehead yellow, and searched through the box to find a large skirt for him to change into. Spring brings rain... What frustrates me the most is that he looks better than me when compared in the mirror! Who told him to be thin-skinned and tender-skinned, with such a dress, his heroic spirit was exhausted, and he became a beautiful lady. The only downside is that he is too tall and not slim enough to pretend to be a woman, but it is enough to look at. When the two of us walked down the stairs, there were several guests waving at us. someone's girl.With a fake smile on my face, I dodged left and right together with Li Chengyin, and finally we were about to reach the back door, when suddenly a drunken guest stopped our way, and grabbed my shoulder with a smile: "Little lady, Come here and have a seat!" The smell of alcohol in my mouth made me dizzy, before I could react, Li Chengyin had already slapped him.

"Crack!" The man was stupefied, I squeezed out a smile: "There are... there are mosquitoes..." Then I grabbed Li Chengyin and ran away quickly. He ran all the way to the back building, only to hear a hog-killing cry from the front building: "Ah! How dare you hit someone..." There was a faint commotion in the front building, and the guest started to make a noise, but someone would come to comfort him.The back building is much quieter. Although it is connected to the front building by a corridor bridge, this is a place for entertaining distinguished guests. Only the sound of singing strings can be heard faintly, and occasionally a sentence or a half sentence comes out through the window.The sound of the rain outside was soft and fine, as if accompanied by the music in the house, there was a rustling.The yard was extremely quiet. There were sparse flowers and trees planted in it, but they hadn't germinated yet, and it was just a black branch.I dragged Li Chengyin across the covered bridge, feeling extremely miraculous in my heart.The skirts of the two brushed across the wooden floor, rustling, only the sound of rings, ding ding dong dong.Lanterns were lit in the distance, and the dim red lights one after another seemed to be very far away, yet also very close.It seemed that the person holding my hand was a stranger, I remembered that this was the first time I held Li Chengyin's hand, my ears felt a little hot for some reason.His hand was soft and warm, holding my fingers.I just didn't dare to look back at him, and I didn't know what I was afraid of.Fortunately, the covered bridge is very short, and after a while I dragged Li Chengyin into a room. The room is very delicately furnished, the red candles are burning high, and the room is full of fragrance. The floor is covered with red 氍毹, which is soft to step on, like stepping on snow.I knew this was where Yueniang entertained distinguished guests, so I held my breath and took two steps forward quietly.Looking through the screen, I vaguely saw a distinguished guest sitting in the middle, accompanied by Yue Niang, playing the pipa and singing "Yong Yu Le".I hate the half-hanging curtain behind the screen, covering most of the distinguished guest's figure, making it hard to see clearly. It so happened that I heard footsteps at this moment, which startled me a lot. I thought it was the drunk just chasing after me, but it turned out to be You Niang and several maikos.You Niang suddenly saw Li Chengyin and me, she was startled, I quickly grabbed her sleeve, lowered my voice and said: "You Niang, it's me!" You Niang covered her mouth and took half a step back, It took a while before he smiled and said: "Mr. Liang, why is he dressed like this? The servants almost didn't recognize him." Then he looked at Li Chengyin behind me, and said, "Which sister is this, she looks so nervous " I said with a smile: "I heard that Yueniang's distinguished guests are coming, I'll come to watch the fun." Youniang pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "So that's the case." I whispered a few words in my ear, originally Youniang There was a look of embarrassment on my face, but I said: "Anyway, I'm just going to take a look and leave, I guarantee there won't be any trouble." In this Mingyufang, apart from Yueniang, I am the best with Youniang, she has a gentle temper and can't help me. Ruanmoyingpao, finally nodded in agreement.So I happily asked Li Chengyin: "Can you dance?" Li Chengyin must be about to vomit blood, but he still asked me calmly: "What kind of dance?" "Tage." I just waited for him Say no, so that I can finally leave him behind and go to see the respectable face of the honored guest alone, but I didn't expect him to throw two words: "I will!" I'm so stupid!How silly of me!He is the prince, and every March in the palace, the prince sings and dances. I am so stupid. I still don't give up: "This is a woman's step song." "I don't know hundreds of times, but it's just the same." Well... If that's the case, let's come together. The sound of Yueniang's pipa in the room finally stopped, and the sound of silk and bamboo played, there must be a group of silk and bamboo musicians inside.This is the tune that urges maiko to come on stage, the tempo is not rushed, and it is soothing and elegant. I took a deep breath, took the fan from You Niang, and together with Li Chengyin, followed the maikos and filed in. At this time, Yueniang has already opened her voice and sang the first line: "The king is like the moon in the sky..." Yueniang's singing voice is really beautiful... as beautiful as pearls and jade, just this one sentence makes people crazy It's like... My heart is pounding, I can finally see what this distinguished guest looks like, I am really happy, inspired and curious... The maikos turned around with smiles, and Li Chengyin and I also turned around , lowered the fan in my hand with everyone else, but I was stupid when I put down the fan. Totally stupid. It's not just me being stupid. Li Chengyin must be stupid too, everyone else is already singing and dancing, just me and him half twisted, frozen there motionless. Because I know this distinguished guest, not only I know him, but also Li Cheng Yin. It's more than just acquaintance...Oh my god...give us a hole in the ground...the emperor...do you still remember Xia Yuhe by the Daming Lake? The colorful sleeves of the dancers around me fluttered with the sound of music, and those skirts were like flowing snow, graceful and charming.Li Chengyin and I were just dumbfounded, You Niang tried to wink at me, I twisted myself hard, and then twisted Li Chengyin hard... Could this be a dream?This must be a dream! Your Majesty...Father...how could it be you?You, you... Where did you put your son and Your Highness... I want to drill a hole... Fortunately, Your Majesty is worthy of being His Majesty. When we were dumbfounded and surprised, he gave us a very calm look. Then he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea as if nothing had happened. Li Chengyin came to his senses first, tugged at my sleeves, and then followed the maiko and took the steps of Tage.This step song is really frightening and uneasy.As soon as I turned my head, I found that Yueniang also recognized me and was looking at me with wide eyes.I gave her a wink, she stared at me, I knew she was afraid that I would disturb the dignity of the honored guest - even if I was killed, I wouldn't dare to mess around in front of this honored guest. After finally finishing a piece of music, Yueniang stood up with a smile, and was about to say something when the honored guest said indifferently: "This song and dance is not bad." "It's better to let them back down, and Yueniang will play a few more songs for you." The distinguished guest nodded: "Very good." Just now Yueniang breathed a sigh of relief, but the honored guest stretched out his fingers and nodded: "Tell these two maikos to stay." The distinguished guest's fingers are impartial, first tap a little, pointing to Li Chengyin, and second point, pointing to me.I guess Yueniang is about to pass out, she can't even hold back her smile: "Guests...stay...what's the point of keeping them?" These two dancers are very good, so they are left to pour wine. "An honored guest speaks, but An dare not follow. So Yue Niang looked at me with evil intentions, I looked at Li Chengyin with evil intentions, Li Chengyin looked at His Majesty with evil intentions, and His Majesty... cough cough, open-minded looking at us. In short, everyone withdrew, including the silk and bamboo team who played the music.The four of us were left in the room, looking at each other with ghosts in our hearts. In the end, the honored guest ordered: "Yueniang, go and see what there is to eat." Now Yueniang became anxious again, she glanced at me and at the honored guest.Seeing that the honored guest was indifferent, and I winked at her again, Yueniang really didn't understand what I meant, but she was afraid that the honored guest would see something, so she finally got lucky and withdrew. As soon as my knees softened, I knelt on the ground. It wasn't because I was scared, but because I was tired. The step dance just now took a lot of effort. The maikos under You Niang's hands are all well-known dancers in Beijing. In order to keep up with their beat , but I am exhausted. Li Chengyin knelt there like me, the atmosphere in the room was indescribably weird, weird, weird. Will you punish me for copying books again?I thought distressedly, this time I made a big mess. I brought the crown prince down to visit the kiln, and was arrested on the spot by His Majesty the emperor. If I was punished for copying "Teaching Women" thirty times, I would definitely copy to death. But I suddenly thought of one thing, Your Majesty is also here to visit the brothel, since everyone is here to visit the brothel, then he must be ashamed to punish me for copying books. When I was thinking wildly, I finally heard His Majesty speak, he asked: "Yin'er, why are you here?" I squinted at Li Chengyin who was disguised as a man, His Majesty's question was really tricky, If Li Chengyin confesses me, I will never end with him. Fortunately, Li Cheng Yin replied confidently: "I'm just curious, so I'll take a look." His Majesty pointed to me and asked: "What about her?" Li Cheng Yin replied confidently again: "She is also curious, so I took her with me. Come and see." Enough loyalty!I really want to pat Li Chengyin on the shoulder, it's so loyal!Just because he is so loyal, I will definitely return his favor in the future. His Majesty said "Oh" leisurely, and said: "You two are husband and wife, going in and out together." But Li Chengyin said without changing his expression: "Dare to ask my lord father, why are you here?" I didn't Thinking that Li Chengyin would be so bold, since everyone came to visit the brothel, why should he say it out of embarrassment.Unexpectedly, His Majesty just smiled and said: "You should not offend the wealthy family for government. As a prince, don't you even understand this?" The downfall is due to the formation of cliques for private interests, there are many factions in the court, the government orders are not good, and the locusts are causing disasters, so the great cause of the society is lost." I don't think I can understand a word of what these two people are saying. Going to the kiln is like playing in court.I found it very boring, but His Majesty smiled lightly and said, "The only solution now, how do you plan to deal with it?" "Reverse the case." Your Majesty shook his head: "How can the old case from ten years ago be overturned? Besides, the witnesses and evidences are all on the verge of being overthrown." Mang, where do we start?" Li Chengyin also smiled: "As for the physical evidence, naturally there are as many as there are. As for the witnesses...Since my father has been subdued to this point, of course I also know that there are witnesses." His Majesty said Smiling and sighing: "You!" It seems to be the helpless and doting tone of my father every time I clamor to ride that hot-tempered little red horse.Thinking of Dad, I feel warm in my heart, but I don't understand what the two people in front of me are saying.After a while, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps, it was a familiar kabuki knocking on the door outside, calling me hurriedly: "Young Master Liang! Young Master Liang!" Both His Majesty and Li Chengyin looked at me, I was in a hurry Get up: "What's the matter?" "Someone broke into the workshop, tied You Niang, insisted that You Niang owed them money, and wanted to take You Niang away!" As soon as I heard that, I became anxious: "Hurry up and take You Niang away!" I'll go and have a look!" Li Chengyin took my arm: "I'll go with you!" I turned to look at His Majesty, and whispered: "You are here with Father!" But His Majesty nodded to us: " You guys go, I'll bring someone out." Li Chengyin and I crossed the covered bridge and trot all the way to the front of the building, only to hear a burst of commotion, and Mrs. Wang's voice was shrill and sharp: "I want to come from our workshop. There is no way to take people away!" "It's only natural to pay off debts!" ​​The leader of the Rogue is a fat man, born round and round, white and fat, with a mustache and wicked eyebrows, he looks like a bad guy.When I saw this fat man, I got angry: "Sun Er, why is it you again!" Speaking of Sun Er, he was an acquaintance through typing.Sun Er specializes in lending usury in wine shops and gambling houses. Once I met him and forced an orphan and widow to pay back the money. I couldn't see it and fought with him. Just give me three points, and you won't play tricks in front of me easily.Sun Er blinked his eyes, recognized me for a long time, and finally recognized me: "Mr. Liang...you dress like this...hahahaha..." I didn't even remember that I was still wearing women's clothing, so I stepped on it unceremoniously. On the bench, I tucked the corner of my skirt to my waist: "What's the matter? Want to fight? I can beat you even if I pretend to be a woman!" Sun Er was frightened by me, and forced a smile on his face: "No Dare, dare not. In fact, I am here to collect debts. Mr. Liang, it is only natural to pay back the debt. You Niang is not an orphan, second is not a widow, and third is not sick or disaster. You say she owes me money, you should Shouldn't you pay it back?" I asked You Niang: "Why do you owe him money?" You Niang was an honest person, and said, "Why did you ever owe him money? It's just that my husband and wife from the same town came to Shangjing to do some small business Unexpectedly, when the lady from the same country got sick, she asked a doctor to take medicine again, and finally went to a funeral, so she borrowed dozens of pennies from Sun Er. Sun Er said that my fellow countryman had no property or job, so he refused to lend it to him. I had to find someone to act as a guarantor, and my fellow countryman had no relatives in Shangjing, so I had no choice but to act as a guarantee for him. Now my fellow villager has paid off his capital and gone back to his hometown, and this second grandson has come to ask me for money." I was choking on my breath. "What kind of fellow countryman are you? If you don't pay back your debts, it will hurt you..." Sun Er raised his hand and took out the IOU: "Mr. Liang, if there are orphans and widows, I will let them go. Anyway, let's go out to mess around, sooner or later I have to pay it back. Kill people and set fire to the gold belt, build bridges and pave roads without corpses..." When he recited the poem, I became dizzy, and Li Chengyin behind him laughed out loud with a "poof", but Sun Er jumped up: "Who farts? " "What did you say?" Li Cheng Yin's face changed drastically, I couldn't help it, Your Highness, don't be impulsive. Sun Er glanced at Li Chengyin, but cupped his hands at me: "Master Liang, if we don't pay back the money today, we will be offended." "She is a guarantor, if you want to collect debts, you should go to her fellow countryman." Li Cheng Yin sneered, "In the "Laws of the Great Law" there is a clear text explaining that if the borrower dies, escapes, or is unable to repay, he can only recover from the guarantor." Sun Er didn't expect Li Cheng Yin to come up and follow He talked about "The Law", blinking his eyes and said: "Now her fellow countryman has just run away, isn't she still running away?" "Who said that her fellow countryman ran away? The whereabouts, why don't you pursue her, but make it difficult for her?" "Then how do I know where her fellow countryman went..." Li Chengyin gently pushed You Niang: "Where does your fellow countryman live?" You Niang asked Almost stupid, he stammered and answered: "Xiaowangzhuang, Qingxian County, Yonghe Prefecture, Dingzhou..." Li Chengyin said: "Okay, now the address of the debtor is exact, if you want to collect the debt, go to him to collect the debt, don't make trouble here Aunt Wang took the opportunity to interject: "Our girl is right. If you want to collect debts, you can just ask the borrower. Why did you come to the workshop to make trouble with our girl. Get out! Get out! Get out!" While pushing and shoving, Sun Er and a few hooligans were coaxed and pushed by her, and they pushed out the door at once.Sun Er was jumping and yelling outside, Aunt Wang patted Li Chengyin on the back, and said triumphantly: "Good girl, I am really proud of my mother! You are Youniang's child? Mom will double your pollen money this month! "I was laughing beside me, and Sun Er was furiously scolding outside, but there was nothing he could do.I watched him suddenly beckon to the people under his opponent, and a few people gathered together to whisper, and then dispersed after muttering for a while, I couldn't help saying: "Oh no, this Sun Er is just afraid to play tricks." "Close the door Close the door!" Mrs. Wang hurriedly instructed the boy to close the door, "Don't let them in again. And my two Persian glass lamps, first take down the lamps and then close the door. Tomorrow is the Lantern Festival. These lamps are precious, thousands Don't bump into each other..." One side of the room was still clamoring to take off the lights and close the door, while the other side's Sun Er had come back aggressively with his men, everyone was holding a bamboo tube, and they didn't know what was inside. .Aunt Wang was in a hurry when she saw it, she drove the boys to close the door, the door was half closed, those scoundrels had already picked up the bamboo tube and poured it out, only to see that it was dark, it turned out that the bamboo tube was full of black water .Most of the black water was splashed on the door, and the boys who were closing the door couldn't dodge in time. Several people were splashed with pitch-black black water, and Aunt Wang's skirt was also splashed. The silk skirt, I have only worked on the upper body for two days, these rascals who kill thousands of knives... see if I don’t peel your skin..." Mrs. Wang is waiting to order the boys to open the door and beat them out, so Sun Er has been with those rascals in the morning They scattered and fled to the corner of the street. While fleeing, they made faces at Aunt Wang, and Aunt Wang was so angry that she screamed, jumped and cursed. You Niang stepped forward to help Mrs. Wang hold the skirt, looked carefully and said, "Mom, take it easy, it looks like ink, wipe it with vinegar, then rinse it with clean water and it will be clean. Mom took off the skirt, Let me wash it for you..." Aunt Wang held You Niang's hand, still muttering cursing: "This gang of scoundrels, next time I meet my old lady, will I see if I will kill him..." As she said, she ordered someone to scrub it door.However, the brand-new beech door was only painted with a layer of raw lacquer, and it couldn't be wiped clean for a while.Aunt Wang was even more angry when she saw that the boy couldn't wipe it clean.I saw that the ink stain had seeped into the wood of the door leaf, so suddenly I had an idea, and called a little maid standing beside me: "Bring Yan Zhi and Luo Zi Dai." You Niang looked at my face and smiled. He said: "Mr. Liang is really handsome when he is dressed up as a girl. Even if he doesn't wear makeup, he still compares us to the girls in Manfang." I smiled and pulled Li Chengyin: "Here is someone who is more handsome than me." It's beautiful, hurry up and get it so I can draw for him!" Li Chengyin was angry and annoyed, he shook off my hand, the maid had already come over with Yanzhi and Luozidai, I stuffed the box into his hand , said: "Draw it!" Li Chengyin stared at me and said: "Draw what?" I was annoyed: "Last time your Sese killed a mosquito with a white fan, didn't you help her put the mosquito blood on the fan?" Did you draw a butterfly? Since you are capable of drawing butterflies, today you will certainly be able to draw this one." Li Chengyin let out a "hum", and seeing his reluctance, I stood on tiptoe and grabbed his collar and said: "If you don't want to draw this door, I'll make a fuss about the distinguished guests in the back building!" Li Chengyin glared at me again: "How dare you!" ..." Li Chengyin forcibly covered my mouth with the last word, and never uttered it.Without using a pen, he immediately grabbed the swallow fat with his hands, drew a big circle on the door, and then filled it with swallow fat.Then he took Luo Zidai and drew on the ink blot, I rarely saw Li Chengyin draw, let alone draw with his fingers, the people around were amazed, and I also felt very curious.I saw Li Chengyin turning with his fingers, his smearing was not inferior to using a brush, he was very carefree, gradually outlined the outline, and then filled in one by one, the people around couldn't help but hold their breath, watching him calmly paint. Finally finished the painting, look, wow!The ink was splashed into large mountains, and the water mist was confused to reveal the overlapping peaks, and then the green peaks were dotted with green, the mountains and forests were clear, and the red sun was rising, which is a magnificent picture of mountains and rivers. Aunt Wang clapped her hands and laughed: "This is good, this is really good! I originally paid a lot of money to invite Master An from Xifang to paint the door for me after the Lantern Festival. I originally wanted to draw a picture of dancing and singing. You can draw better than Master An!" Of course, as the current crown prince, he has been taught by famous teachers since he was a child. Li Chengyin was also very proud, he looked at it for a while with his hands spread, then picked up the snail Dai, and wrote three big characters beside the painting: "Pomomen".The three big characters are written in flying and dancing. Although I don't know calligraphy, I still feel that the momentum is extraordinary.Li Chengyin also felt that his intentions were not enough, and wrote a line of small characters at the bottom: "Shangjing Li Wulang", before throwing the snail Dai, said: "Fat water! Clean your hands!" Aunt Wang smiled brightly, and fetched water for him to wash his hands.I also feel very proud, although my father was very reluctant to marry me to the Central Plains, but my husband and son-in-law are actually quite talented, apart from being bad at riding and fighting. After we washed our hands, Aunt Wang asked someone to cook some snacks for us, suddenly she became suspicious and kept looking at Li Chengyin.I was afraid that she would see something, and was about to babble, when suddenly I heard a "swish" from the back of the courtyard, and it was actually a firework flying into the sky.That firework is different from the firework next to it. It not only rises extremely high, but also rises straight up, pulling out a very high silver-white light arc in the black sky, with a sharp whistling sound, which is very attractive Attention.After rising to a very high place, a muffled sound of "bang" was heard, and the fireworks exploded into a huge golden firework. The light feathers radiated vertically and horizontally, splitting the black velvet-like night, and blooming interlacedly drew dazzling arcs. , Blowing out finely divided gold powder, which lingers for a long time, reflecting half of the sky faintly blue. But Li Chengyin's expression changed drastically, he turned around and ran towards the back building, I didn't have time to ask him, so I had to follow him and run towards the back.He walked so fast that I couldn't keep up. I didn't realize that something was wrong until I got on the covered bridge. The courtyard was terribly quiet. A weird little snake.Why are there dead people here?I didn't have time to think about it, so I called out loudly: "A'Du!" A'Du didn't respond to me, I called out three times in a row, usually I only need to call out to A'Du once and she will appear, so did something happen to A'Du?My heart was beating wildly and chaotically, Li Chengyin had already kicked open the door, we had only left the room for two cups of tea, the room was originally filled with fragrance, but now it was bloody, lying on the ground in disorder The corpses were all strong men in black.Li Cheng Yin eagerly turned the screen, the curtain was ripped apart, obviously there was a fierce fight here.The high table on the couch was overturned on the ground, there were several sword marks on the pillar next to it, and there were blood splatters everywhere. More people died here.There was a man in black leaning on the pillar, still panting slightly, Li Chengyin rushed over to help him up, his face was covered with blood, his eyes were wide open, his white collarbone was exposed on his shoulders, and his arms were not connected. Most of the shoulders were cut off, and it was a miracle that he was alive.Li Cheng Yin sternly said: "Where is Your Majesty?" The man didn't even have his right arm, he grabbed Li Cheng Yin's chest with his left hand, he held it very tightly, he was panting, his voice was hoarse: " Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." "Who hurt someone? Where is Your Majesty?" "The masked...the assassin masked...the assassin's martial arts are amazing...the minister is incompetent..." He seemed to have exhausted all his strength pointing at the opening. Window, eyes gradually lost, "...Save Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Li Chengyin wanted to ask him something, but his fingers gradually loosened, and finally fell into a pool of blood, motionless. Li Chengyin raised his eyes to look at me, I saw bloodshot eyes all over his eyes, his body was also covered with blood, and there were dead people everywhere, I also felt very scared.We left only for a short moment, the assassin killed so many people in such a short period of time, and these people are all good fighters in the imperial army, His Majesty's white dragon fish uniform must be accompanied by guards with all the good martial arts.Now that all these people have been killed, I can't even imagine how high this assassin's martial arts are.But Li Cheng Yin picked up a saber, straightened up, and chased out through the back window. I shouted loudly: "A'Du!" A'Du didn't know where he went, I remembered what happened last time, and I was very worried about A'Du's safety.I am also worried about Li Chengyin, the assassin's martial arts are so high, it is a breeze to kill me and Li Chengyin.I picked up a sword in the pool of blood, and then I turned out the back window, and I wanted to kill as soon as I wanted to, so I gave my life to it. Behind is a small yard with rocks piled up in the middle. Those stones were transported from the far south and piled up in the yard to support the flowers and trees. Now the weather is cold and the trees are still bare.Turning around the rock, Li Chengyin suddenly stopped, and pushed me behind him with his backhand.Standing on the uneven rock, I stared blankly at the back of his head, and suddenly remembered that the last time I met an assassin, he pushed me away like this. My heart was sour and sweet, and I couldn't tell what it was like.I stood on tiptoe and looked over his shoulder, and saw several black-clothed men wrestling around a masked man. The leading man in black was extremely skilled in martial arts, but he was obviously not an assassin's opponent. They are all top experts in the Forbidden Army. Although they are all injured right now, they are very tenacious.The assassin held a sword in one hand and was holding a man in the other, and that man was His Majesty.刺客虽然一手扣着陛下的腕脉，单手执剑，剑法仍旧快得无与伦比，每一剑出都会在黑衣人身上留下一道伤口。借着月色，我才看到山石上溅着星星点点的鲜血。就在此时，远处隐隐约约传来闷雷似的轰隆巨响。那刺客忽地剑一横就逼在了陛下颈中，所有人都不敢再有所动作，只能眼睁睁看着他。 李承鄞说道：“放开他！”他是声音夹在雷声里，并不如何响亮，可是一字一顿，极为清楚。 我不知道是不是在打雷，远处那沉闷的声音仿佛春雷，又闷又响。我从来没有像今天这样害怕过，不是害怕刚才满屋子的死人，也不是害怕这个鬼魅似的刺客，而是惶然不知道在害怕什么。 远处那雷声越来越响，越来越响，又过了片刻，我才听出真的不是雷声，而是马蹄声，从四面八方传来的马蹄声，轰轰烈烈仿佛铺天盖地，朝着这小小的鸣玉坊席卷而来，就像四面都是洪水，一浪高过一浪，一浪迭着一浪，直朝着这里涌过来。我从来没听过这样密集的蹄声，即使在我们草原上陈兵打仗，阿爹调齐了人冲锋，那声势也没有这般浩大。起先我还能隐约听见鸣玉坊中人的惊呼，还有前楼喧哗的声音，到最后我觉得连四周的屋子都在微微晃动，斗拱上的灰簌簌地掉落下来，楼前什么声音都听不见了，只有这蹄声就像是最可怕的潮水，无穷无尽般涌过来，涌过来，像是沙漠中最可怕的飓风，带着漫天的沙尘席卷而来，天地间的万事万物都逃不过，被这可怕的声音淹没在其中。 那刺客并不说话，而是横剑逼迫着陛下，一步步往后退。 谁也不敢轻举妄动，陛下却突然喝道：“曾献！杀了刺客！”为首的黑衣人原来叫曾献，这个名字我听说过，知道是神武军中有名的都指挥使，武功盖世，据说曾力敌百人。曾默的肩头亦在滴血，此时步步紧逼，那刺客剑锋寒光闪闪，极是凛冽，架在陛下喉头，相去不过数分，我急得背心里全都是冷汗。李承鄞突然轻轻一笑，对那刺客道：“你知道我是什么人？”那刺客脸上蒙着布巾，只有一双眼睛露在外头，眼中并不透出任何神色，只是冷冷地看着李承鄞。 “现在神武军驰援已至，外头定然已经围成铁桶，你若是负隅顽抗，免不了落得万箭穿心。你若是此时放下剑，我允你不死。”刺客目光灼灼，似乎有一丝犹豫。李承鄞又道：“如若不放心，你以我为人质，待你平安之后，你再放我回来便是了。”我手心里出了汗，连握在手中的剑都觉得有点儿打滑。我心一横，从他身后站出来：”要当就让我当人质，反正我一个弱女子，你也不怕我玩什么花样。 我手心里出了汗，连握在手中的剑都觉得有点儿打滑。我心一横，从他身后站出来：“要当就让我当人质，反正我一个弱女子，你也不怕我玩什么花样。 等你觉得安全了，再放我回来便是。 " 李承鄞狠狠瞪了我一眼，我毫不客气地瞪了回去。我懂得他的意思，我也知道这不是玩耍，可是眼下这样，叫我眼睁睁看着刺客拿他当人质，我可不干。 刺客仍旧不答话，只是冷冷地执剑而立，曾献等人亦不敢逼迫太甚，双方僵持不已。 李承鄞站在那里一动也未动，外面那轰轰烈烈的声音却像是忽然又安静下来，过了好久走廊上传来脚步声，有人正走过来。我背心里全是冷汗，我在想是不是刺客的同党。那脚步声越来越近，越来越近，李承鄞忽然伸手握住我的手，他的掌心燥热，可是我奇异般镇定下来。也许只是因为知道他就在我身边，便是再危险又如何？死便死罢！我突然豪气顿生。可是好多人涌了进来，为首的人身着银甲，看到双方僵持，不免微微错愕，可是旋即十分沉着地跪下行礼。他身上的铠甲铿锵有声，道：“臣尹魏救驾来迟，请陛下恕罪。” “起来。”陛下虽然脖子上架着刺客的利剑，但声音十分镇定，“传令全城戒严，闭九门。” "yes!" “神武军会同东宫的羽林军，闭城大索，清查刺客同党！” "yes!" “不要走漏了消息，以免惊扰百姓。” "yes!" "Go!" "yes!" 尹魏连行礼都没有再顾及，立时就退出去了。我听到他在走廊上低语数句，然后急促的脚步声就由近而远，好几个人奔了出去。过了片刻他又重新进来，说道：“请殿下返东宫以定人心，这里由臣来处置清理。” 李承鄞摇了摇头，目光炯炯地看着刺客：“你放开父皇，我给你当人质。”他的手还反牵着我的手，我大叫：“不！我当人质！” 李承鄞回头恶狠狠地瞪了我一眼：“闭嘴！” 从前他也同我吵架，可是从来不曾这样穷凶极恶过。我虽然害怕，可是仍旧鼓足勇气，大声对刺客道：“要说尊贵，我可比这两个男人尊贵多了，别瞧他们一个是天子，一个是太子，可是论到重要，再比不过我。你既然当刺客，必然知道我不仅是当朝的太子妃，而且是西凉的公主，为两邦永缔万世之好，我才嫁给李承鄞。你虽然挟持了陛下，但陛下性情坚韧，定不会受你的胁迫，定然强令太子殿下和这些神武军立时将你碎尸万段，你纵然大逆不道垂死挣扎刺杀了陛下，大不了太子登基，你除了一个死，没别的下场。如果以殿下为人质，陛下有十几个儿子，殿下必然不会受你的胁迫，定然当着陛下强令这些神武军立时将你碎尸万段，陛下大不了另立太子，你除了一个死，亦没别的下场。可是我就不一样了，我不仅是太子妃，而且是西凉的公主，我要是死了，西凉必然会举国而反，两国交战，生灵涂炭，所以陛下和殿下都绝不会让我死，如果你以我为人质，担保你平平安安，可以全身而退。” “胡说八道！”李承鄞大怒，“大敌当前，你在这里掺和什么？来人！带她回东宫去！” 我只牢牢盯住刺客：“我的话你好生想想，是也不是？” 不知道我到底哪句话打动了那刺客，过了好一会儿，他竟然缓缓点了点头。 我大喜过望，说道：“放开陛下，我跟你走！” 刺客冷冷地瞧着我，终于开口道：“你先过来。”他说话的声音极怪，似乎是我当年刚学中原官话的时候，平仄起伏都没有，说不出的难听。不过事情紧迫，我也来不及多想，就在那儿跟刺客讨价还价：“你先放开陛下。” 刺客并不再说话，而是将剑轻轻地往里又收了一分，眼见就要割开陛下喉间那层薄薄的皮肤，我只得大叫：“别动，我先过去就是。” 李承鄞抢上来要拦住我，可是我“刷”地一剑刺向他，他不得已侧身闪避，我已经几步冲到刺客那边去了。刺客一手抓住我，一手自然就微微一松，这时不知道从哪里“嗖嗖”数声，连珠箭并发，皆是从高处直向那刺客射来。那刺客伸手也当真了得，身形以绝不可能的奇异角度一拧，挥剑将那些羽箭纷纷斩落，陛下趁机挣开他的控制，我提剑就向刺客刺去，可是他出手快如鬼魅，“刷”一下已经打落我的剑，就这么缓得一缓，我已经张大了双臂整个人扑上去，在电光石火的一瞬间，已经触到陛下的身体，狠狠就将他推开去。 陛下被我推得连退数步，曾献立时就抓着了陛下的胳膊，将他扯出了刺客的剑光所指。而刺客冰冷的手指已经捏住了我的喉头，比他手更冷的是他的剑，立时就横在了我颈中。 “小枫！” 我听见李承鄞叫了我一声，我回过头，只看到他的脸，还有他眼睛中的凄惨神色。 我想我会永远记着他的脸，如果我死了。我知道陛下和他都绝不会放走刺客，我没有那么重要，西凉也没有那么重要。刚才我说的那一套话，我和他心里都明白，那是骗人的。 神武军围上来护着陛下和李承鄞，我对着李承鄞笑了笑，虽然我知道自己笑得一定很难看，可是我尽力还是咧开了嘴，如果这是最后一面，我才不要哭呢，我要他记着我笑的样子。 我嘴唇翕张，无声地说出：“放箭。” 我知道神武军定然已经在四面高处埋伏下了箭手，只要此时万箭齐发，不怕不把刺客射成刺猬。这个人武功这么高，杀了这么多的人，又一度胁持陛下，如若不立时除去，定然是心腹大患。 李承鄞却像压根儿没看到我的唇语似的，陛下沉声道：“不要妄动！” 我没想到陛下会这样下令，刺客森冷的剑锋还横在我喉头，李承鄞从曾献手中接过一支羽箭，厉声道：“你若是敢伤我妻子半分，我李承鄞穷尽此生，也必碎裂你每一寸皮肉，让你菹醢而死！你立时放了她，我允你此时可以安然离去，言出必行，有如此箭！”说完李承鄞将羽箭“咔嚓”一声折成两段，将断箭扔在刺客足下，喝道：“放人！”
