Chapter 9 Chapter 8 Sun and Moon
The moon is sinking and the stars are hidden, and the sky is dawning.
Qiu Changfeng finally came out of the mountains and headed north.Yao Sansi was full of curiosity, and wanted to ask Qiu Changfeng what happened, but seeing Qiu Changfeng's serious face, he didn't dare to say more.
Qiu Changfeng was thinking about something on his mind. When he went south, he never thought that things would turn out like this.
Why did "Song of the Sun and Moon" kill Liu Taixi?Why did the ghost-masked man join forces with Japanese ninjas to obtain "Song of the Sun and Moon"?The people who came to Liu's house to kidnap the princess, apart from the Nine Traps of Tibet, there were also two masters, one with a sword like a moon, and the other with a long knife like lightning, even if they weren't ninjas, they were also martial arts masters, but which one was it?
What is the purpose of the ghost-masked man and these ninjas to lure them into Liu's residence, snatch Yunmeng away suddenly, and then easily give up Yunmeng?
These things are full of weirdness, the more Qiu Changfeng thought about it, the more mysterious he felt, and he was inevitably preoccupied, and when he remembered the instructions of his master, he felt that there were too many unsolved mysteries in it.
The three of them walked for about an hour, and a market appeared in front of them, with people coming and going, giving it a bustling atmosphere.
Qiu Changfeng yawned, and Meng Xian hurriedly said, "Brother Qiu has worked all night, do you want to rest?"
Meng Xian is different from Qiu Changfeng, he has always been pampered and pampered, so after a night of running around, he is already exhausted.
Qiu Changfeng glanced at the two, and said with a sigh of relief: "These days are quite busy, and the two of you have worked hard."
Yao Sansi hurriedly said: "It's the real hard work for adults."
Meng Xian also said: "That's right, brother Qiu is really hardworking, what are we? Brother Qiu is so hardworking, how about finding an inn here to rest for half a day and getting tired slowly?" Yao Sansi said sincerely, but Meng Xian said otherwise. If you have something on your mind, I'm afraid that Qiu Changfeng should not.Don't want to Qiu Changfeng nodded and said: "I am indeed a little tired. If I want to rest, I can rest for a day. I bought a horse, and it will not be too late to start tomorrow."
Meng Xian's heart moved, and he asked: "Brother Qiu went all the way south for the order of the master. Now that he suddenly relaxes, could it be that he has fulfilled the order of the master?"
Qiu Changfeng just nodded and didn't say much.Meng Xian was shocked and jealous, he followed Qiu Changfeng south, always thinking about how to destroy Qiu Changfeng's actions, seeing that Qiu Changfeng completed the task of the master without waiting for him to participate in the destruction, how could he not be jealous?He forced a smile and said: "Brother Qiu has achieved success, it's really gratifying and congratulatory." His heart moved slightly, and he couldn't help asking, "Did the master tell Brother Qiu to come and take "Song of the Sun and Moon" from Liu Taixi?"
Meng Xian is not stupid, even though he was not in the scene, he thought of this point from the gathering of clues.
Qiu Changfeng smiled, without saying a word, walked into the inn, threw out the ingot, and ordered: "Prepare three rooms." He asked for a room for each of the three, and fell asleep after returning to the room.Yao Sansi was also quite tired, so it was just right for him.
Meng Xian's heart was like a cat's claws, and he wanted to pick up Qiu Changfeng and ask him for details, but he didn't dare to do it anyway. After going out in the afternoon, he suddenly returned to normal, and ordered the store to prepare Good food and wine.He lingered in front of Qiu Changfeng's door for a while, and finally knocked heavily on the door.
Qiu Changfeng opened the door, his face was still pale, but his spirit was much better.
Seeing this, Meng Xian said hastily: "Brother Qiu is about to succeed. I am ashamed. I didn't make an inch of merit along the way. I specially set up wine and vegetables to celebrate Brother Qiu's success. I also ask Brother Qiu to be promoted. Don't forget my brother."
Qiu Changfeng took a look at Meng Xian, and said to himself that you always keep your three words in line, and if you eat something from you, you may have to spit out something.But he just smiled and said: "It must be." He pulled Yao Sansi from the next room and sat down together at the banquet.
Meng Xian was actually very polite and filled the wine for the two of them himself.
Yao Sansi was a little flattered, and asked: "Meng Qianhu, I have never seen you so generous, how could you treat me this time?"
Meng Xian wished he could slap Yao Sansi on the face, but in the end he just blocked Yao Sansi's mouth with chicken legs, and smiled gracefully.After drinking three cups with Qiu Changfeng, Meng Xian put down his glass and said with a heavy sigh, "Brother Qiu, this trip to the south has been turbulent. There are many things that Sansi and I don't understand."
Yao Sansi cheered up, nodded while biting the drumstick and said: "Yes, yes, Lord Qianhu, what is going on? What is "Song of the Sun and Moon"? How did it cause such a big commotion? "
Meng Xian thought that this foolish boy would save me a lot of trouble, and pretended to be serious: "Think twice, I'm afraid it's inconvenient for Brother Qiu to talk about such a confidential matter, isn't it embarrassing for Brother Qiu if you ask like this?"
Yao Sansi froze there, looking a little uneasy.
Qiu Changfeng drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Before this, it was indeed inconvenient to talk about many things. But now, if you want to listen, I can tell you about it."
Yao Sansi nodded again and again, and Meng Xian whispered joyfully in his heart: "Brother Qiu wants to say something, but I will listen with all my ears."
Holding the wine glass, Qiu Changfeng said slowly: "From the very beginning, this incident was actually extremely weird... But what surprised me the most was that my departure from Shuntian Mansion was very secretive, why did the princess come with us?" ?”
Yao Sansi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, this incident is very strange. How did she come here? It doesn't seem like a coincidence."
Meng Xian didn't know if he drank too much or something, his face turned blue, and he pondered: "Princess actually attaches great importance to the mission of the master. Brother Qiu also knows that the princess is somewhat willful in doing things for the sake of the prince. We didn't pretend to be , Passing through the states and counties along the way, there is a high possibility that the princess will find her whereabouts."
Qiu Changfeng slapped the table, and suddenly said: "Brother Meng reminded the person in the dream, probably like this. I almost suspected that you leaked the news, and you should be punished." After finishing speaking, he raised his glass and took a drink And do.
Meng Xian's smile was a bit far-fetched, and Yao Sansi followed suit, drinking a glass of wine, and said with a smile, "Lord Qianhu, you care too much." Meng Xian changed the topic and asked, "Brother Qiu, what is "Song of the Sun and Moon" anyway?" Why is it related to Mrs. Liu?"
Qiu Changfeng put down his wine glass and said, "I'm afraid you don't know that "Song of the Sun and Moon" was originally written by Uncle Chengyi, and Liu Taixi was originally Uncle Chengyi's nephew."
Meng Xian and Yao Sansi were both startled, they couldn't help thinking about it.
Qiu Changfeng stared at the wine glass and said slowly: "Sincerity Bo Liu has made great contributions to the founding of the Taizu and the stability of the country, but he has always... been envied by the then prime minister Hu Weiyong..."
Meng Xian continued from the side: "My little brother is also a little aware of this matter. It is said that Liu Bowen is a man who knows astronomy, geography, metaphysics, astrology, and five elements. At the beginning, Taizu knew his ability and asked him to criticize the civil servants of the court. Liu Bowen said that Hu Weiyong was like a bad horse. If he was reused, he would definitely bring down the Ming Dynasty. .And the involvement of this matter is so wide that it can be regarded as... huge."
He said this, but he thought in his heart, what is the reason for Qiu Changfeng's sudden mention of the past?
Seeing Qiu Changfeng nodded and remained silent, Yao Sansi couldn't help interjecting: "The Hu Weiyong case was one of the four major cases during the reign of the Taizu, so it is said that tens of thousands of people were killed in the case. But many people say that the Taizu It's..." After a pause, he said, "Why did Lord Qianhu suddenly mention this matter?"
Meng Xian sneered in his heart, thinking that Yao Sansi was not really stupid, and dared not comment on Taizu's right and wrong.
In fact, everyone believed that although Hu Weiyong might have rebellious intentions back then, he did not actually rebel. Zhu Yuanzhang just used Hu Weiyong's case to eradicate heroes and prepare for his grandson Zhu Yunqi's successful enthronement.
Qiu Changfeng said: "Bo Chengyi was envied by Hu Weiyong, and he was afraid of causing trouble to his upper body, so he resigned to his hometown. Meng Qianhu said something quite right. The god of Bo Chengyi was passed down as a god when he was counted in the Taizu. Some people even said that he had..." After all, Qiu Changfeng changed the subject before finishing the sentence, "It is rumored... Taizu died several times, and he was rescued by Uncle Cheng...Of course, these are questions Foreign language. Before his illness and death, Uncle Chengyi used to write more than ten volumes of the books he had learned in his life, and asked his son Liu Lian to give those books to Taizu after Hu Weiyong died."
Meng Xian asked: "Are those books... Are they all in the hands of the Holy One now?" Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang died early, and now Zhu Di is in charge of the world. It is reasonable for Meng Xian to deduce that those books are in Zhu Di's hands.
Qiu Changfeng shook his head, "No." After a pause, he said, "Uncle Chengyi didn't seem to expect that his son Liu Lian didn't listen to what he said. When Hu Weiyong was still in power, he went to Beijing to present the book. But Liu Lian didn't When I saw Taizu, I saw Hu Weiyong first, and then Liu Lian jumped into the well and died, and those books were never seen again, and they must have been burned by Hu Weiyong."
Meng Xian pondered: "Is it because of those books that Liu Lian died? Hu Weiyong was very greedy for human rights, and of course he also thought about future generations. He must have received rumors that he was afraid that the descendants of the Liu family would gain power because of the books. What you do is actually nothing." Because he has already saved people, he guessed Hu Weiyong's mind.
Qiu Changfeng glanced sideways at Meng Xian, "Yes, it's really nothing. But Hu Weiyong died soon after, and no one knew the whereabouts of those books. But Hu Weiyong probably didn't expect that the books that Liu Lian brought , but one was missed, and it fell into the hands of Liu Lian's book boy."
Meng Xian had a flash of inspiration and said in surprise: "Could Liu Lian's book boy be Liu Taixi? Is that book "Song of the Sun and Moon"?"
Qiu Changfeng nodded slowly, filled his glass and said, "That's right."
Everyone fell silent, Meng Xian and Yao Sansi finally knew the origin of "Song of the Sun and Moon", but they still didn't understand what was worth snatching from "Song of the Sun and Moon".
Qiu Changfeng said: "Liu Taixi followed Liu Lian to the capital. The day before Liu Lian died, he seemed to know something was wrong, so he secretly went back to the countryside and took away the "Song of the Sun and Moon"."
Thinking of the crux of the problem, Meng Xian wondered: "Liu Bowen has been dead for decades, if this "Song of the Sun and Moon" is really valuable, why is it still in Liu Taixi's hands?"
Qiu Changfeng explained: "Liu Taixi has always been timid. Although he has "Song of the Sun and Moon" in his hand, he never dared to mention it to others, so this book has never been known. Master does not know how to know this That's why I came here, I don't want to... It seems that many people know about this matter, it's really weird."
Meng Xian was also wondering, Yao Sansi asked the question he wanted to know the most, ""Song of the Sun and Moon" is just a book, not a treasure map, nor a house of gold, what use can it be, it is worth those mysterious People come to snatch it?" Thinking of those people's weird methods, Yao Sansi shuddered.
Even Meng Xian couldn't help pricking up his ears to listen, but Qiu Changfeng's face suddenly became extremely weird, he just looked at the wine glass and said nothing.When Meng Xian couldn't bear to wait, but had to wait, Qiu Changfeng said: "Do you believe in fate?"
Suddenly there was a cool wind blowing in the inn, messing with Qiu Changfeng's hair, his face seemed a little pale, and the light was very strange.
It was time to light the lanterns, and the business of the inn did not look good, except for Qiu Changfeng and the other three, there was no outsider present.
Meng Xian didn't know why, but felt a little cold in his heart, and forced a smile: "Well...it's really hard to say. Does Brother Qiu believe it?"
Qiu Changfeng fiddled with the wine glass and said thoughtfully: "Every drink and peck is predetermined. I believe that people have a destiny." After a pause, he said: "In fact, not only people have a destiny, but everything in the world has a destiny. Jiangshan. I'm afraid it's the same."
Yao Sansi asked in astonishment: "The country also has a destiny?" Suddenly thinking of too many ancient legends, Yao Sansi felt that the atmosphere around him also became strange.
Qiu Changfeng's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "Yes, the country also has a destiny, and "Song of the Sun and Moon" is about the secret and destiny of the Great Ming Dynasty!"
After saying a word, Meng Xian and Yao Sansi looked at each other, unable to suppress the shock in their hearts.
"Song of the Sun and Moon" is about the secrets and fate of the Great Ming Dynasty?What exactly does this mean?
After a long time, Meng Xiancai said: "Could it be that this "Song of the Sun and Moon" is about Liu Bowen's...that...secret?" Jin Yiwei will not be sent to find him.His inference is reasonable, but he doesn't understand why other people are interested in this book?
Don't want Qiu Changfeng to be silent for a long time before saying: "I heard that this book is about the secret behind Taizu."
Meng Xian fell into the clouds, thinking to himself that Liu Bowen died before the Taizu, how could he write a book to record the secret behind the Taizu?It's just plain funny.
Yao Sansi suddenly slapped his forehead and said: "I heard that Uncle Chengyi has great supernatural powers. He knows five hundred years before and five hundred years later. Could it be that...he wrote "Song of the Sun and Moon" to predict future generations? "
Meng Xian couldn't help laughing, and said sarcastically: "You are really whimsical, how can there be such a thing in the world?" Suddenly seeing Qiu Changfeng's slightly pale face, Meng Xian couldn't laugh anymore, Nuonuo said: "Brother Qiu, you……"
Qiu Changfeng said in a deep voice: "I don't know if such a person really exists in the world, but I know... the prophecy of "Song of the Sun and Moon" has begun to come true..."
Although it was midsummer, Meng Xian felt a chill all over his body for some reason.After a long time, he murmured, "What exactly does Brother Qiu mean?"
Qiu Changfeng said in a condensed voice: "It is said that Bo Chengyi understands the will of heaven and has long predicted the fate of the Great Ming Dynasty. The prophecy in "Moon Song" has begun to come true..."
Meng Xian's disbelief was filled with excitement, mixed with fear, Yao Sansi was the same.
This thing sounds unbelievable, but I don't think it actually exists.
After a long time, Meng Xiancai asked: "What prophecies are starting to come true?"
Qiu Changfeng shook his head and said: "Well... I don't know yet. But the master said it so carefully, so we know that this is definitely not a lie."
Yao Sansi was puzzled and said, "Even if "Song of the Sun and Moon" can predict the future of Ming Dynasty, I don't see any effect."
Meng Xian smiled and said: "Of course you can't see it. If this book is really so effective, it will be very useful..." Rolling his eyes, he said in a low voice: "Brother Qiu, of course you know the effect of it?" Suddenly in his heart Think of something, full of excitement.
Qiu Changfeng took another sip of wine and said, "I don't know."
Meng Xian was taken aback, and thought to himself, if "Song of the Sun and Moon" really has the function of predicting, how could you kid not know its usefulness?Rolling his eyes, he asked, "Is this book...is it still on Brother Qiu?" Seeing Qiu Changfeng nodding, Meng Xian asked tentatively, "Of course Brother Qiu has read this book?"
Qiu Changfeng immediately shook his head and said: "No. The master didn't tell me to read the book, so of course I won't read it." Looking at Meng Xian with a half-smile, he said, "Does Meng Qianhu want to read it?"
Meng Xian shook his head quickly, and said with a forced smile: "Brother Qiu doesn't even read it, and younger brother doesn't even dare." Cursing in his heart, you Qiu Changfeng is still pretending to be a grandson here, and the book is on your body, you stay in the room It's been so long, maybe it's been turned over long ago, and you still say you haven't seen it?
Although he scolded in his heart, he still didn't give up and said: "Brother Qiu doesn't read that book, so...is there any taboo?"
Yao Sansi understood: "It should be like this. I heard this kind of divine book, it's better not to read it. If I read it, I'm afraid there will be disasters." Before he could finish his words, he heard a loud bang.
Meng Xian was so frightened that he almost jumped up. He originally thought that Yao Sansi was nonsense, but he didn't expect that just talking about it would bring disaster to his door.
Could it be said that "Song of the Sun and Moon" really has the power to shake the world and weep ghosts and gods?
Meng Xian turned his head to look, his face turned blue and white, white and red, and finally returned to the original slightly flattering color, stood up and stood with hands down.
There was a person standing in front of the inn's gate, who was Princess Yunmeng.
Princess Yunmeng, Wei Tieyi on the left, and Ye Yuhe on the right, have long since lost their embarrassing look, and look radiant and radiant again, but there is a red scratch on her forehead, which seems a bit of a fly in the ointment.
Seeing that the gate was about to fall down, the innkeeper rushed up to greet her. Seeing Princess Yunmeng's aura, and seeing dozens of official horses parked outside the inn at some point, their faces turned green, and he said in a hurry: "Guest officer , hit the tip or eat?"
Originally, what he often said should be whether he should be a top student or live in a hotel. It can be seen that people with such backgrounds do not expect them to stay.
Princess Yunmeng chuckled and said: "I'm staying in the shop. Why, you don't welcome me?" The shopkeeper complained secretly, and said repeatedly: "Welcome, welcome, please come inside. But there are not many rooms in the shop..."
Princess Yunmeng interrupted: "Then drive out all the people who live there."
The shopkeeper was startled, and looked at the three of Qiu Changfeng in embarrassment. Intuition, these three people were definitely not easy to mess with. How dare he drive Qiu Changfeng away?
Unexpectedly, Princess Yunmeng suddenly smiled again, and her eyes fell on Qiu Changfeng, "Qiu Changfeng, it's a coincidence that I ran into you again." She said to the shopkeeper, "There is no need to drive these people away." She In this way, even Yao Sansi could tell that Princess Yunmeng wanted to reconcile with Qiu Changfeng.
Qiu Changfeng stood up slowly, cupped his hands and said: "See Her Royal Highness, but I don't need the princess to rush me for a humble job, and I'm ready to leave."
Princess Yunmeng was startled, her smile disappeared, and she shouted: "Qiu Changfeng, don't give me any face."
Qiu Changfeng said indifferently: "Even if the face of a humble job is meager, it is still my own. Don't worry about it, Your Highness the Princess." After saying that, he turned and went upstairs to his room, and ordered: "Meng Qianhu, Yao Sansi, prepare to leave."
Princess Yunmeng blushed with anger, Meng Xian hurriedly apologized, winked at Princess Yunmeng quietly, and followed Qiu Changfeng upstairs.Qiu Changfeng waited to go downstairs after tidying up. Yao Sansi rushed over suddenly and said anxiously, "Lord Qianhu, it's not good. Meng Qianhu is sick."
Startled slightly, Qiu Changfeng walked into Meng Xian's room and saw him rolling around on the bed holding his stomach in pain.Qiu Changfeng frowned, stepped forward and said, "Meng Qianhu, what's wrong with you?"
Meng Xianyi was in the corner, moaning: "Brother Qiu...I...my stomach hurts."
Qiu Changfeng was puzzled and said: "Okay, why did you suddenly have a stomachache?"
Meng Xian said in a trembling voice: "Brother Qiu doesn't know something. I have had a disease since I was a child, and my stomach hurts when I get tired. These days I have always been on the road, but my old disease relapsed." Seeing Qiu Changfeng frowning, Meng Xian said: " Brother Qiu, I know you are hiding from the princess, you are afraid that she will embarrass you, so you want to leave, but I really can't, so you should go on your way first."
Qiu Changfeng raised his eyebrows, and said lightly: "I'm afraid of her? A joke."
Yao Sansi heard it, and immediately said: "Yes, how can the swing household be afraid of the princess. We came together, what's the matter without you?" Turning to Qiu Changfeng, he said earnestly: "Master Qiu, you are in a hurry Hurry up, why don't I stay and take care of Meng Qianhu?"
Someone suddenly said lightly at the door: "Master Qiu is a Jinyi guard, and he is busy with his duties, so he really can't take care of his subordinates. Please ask for blessings."
Qiu Changfeng didn't need to look back, he also knew that Ye Yuhe was right in front of the door, he seemed to be provoked by Ye Yuhe's words, he smiled instead: "Catcher Ye is wrong, I'm not busy at all now. Think twice, you go to the doctor, I'll take care of Meng Thousand households."
Meng Xian's eyes showed gratitude, and said: "Brother Qiu, I really appreciate how you treat my younger brother."
Yao Sansi was overjoyed, and thought that Master Qiu was usually cold and cold, but his subordinates really had nothing to say.Yao San didn't think twice and ran to find a doctor. After working half the night, Meng Xian's stomach pain finally got better, but he was also exhausted. Obviously he couldn't hurry, so he couldn't stop apologizing to Qiu Changfeng.
Qiu Changfeng comforted Meng Xian with kind words, and after Meng Xian lay down, he turned to his room, lit the oil lamp, and sat down slowly, his eyes seemed to be pondering, as if he was thinking about something.
The door slammed suddenly, and Qiu Changfeng opened the door with a slight breeze, and saw the shopkeeper standing at the door fawningly, followed by two assistants, carrying a large bucket, which was filled with steaming hot water.
Qiu Changfeng asked in surprise, "What are you doing?" The shopkeeper smiled apologetically, "The guest officer surnamed Yao said that you have worked hard, and asked me to prepare hot water for you to take a bath."
Qiu Changfeng was a little dumbfounded, never thought that Yao Sansi was so careful, couldn't bear to brush his kindness, nodded and said: "Bring the water in."
The man brought water into the room, and then left with the shopkeeper.
Looking at the steaming hot water, Qiu Changfeng suddenly felt warm in his heart.But he just sat at the table and didn't undress.
As soon as there was a sound, Qiu Changfeng reached into his bosom and took out "Song of the Sun and Moon".
Under the dim oil lamp, "Song of the Sun and Moon" seemed to be glowing with mystery. Qiu Changfeng's eyes were also somewhat mysterious, but he did not open the book after all.He didn't lie to Meng Xian, he didn't read that "Song of the Sun and Moon".
Although the book is close at hand, every time he sees "Song of the Sun and Moon", Qiu Changfeng can't help but feel palpitations, feeling that if he reads it, something uncontrollable will happen.
He didn't know why he felt this way, but he was surprised by the weirdness of "Song of the Sun and Moon".
After a long time, the door slammed again. Qiu Changfeng suddenly put the book in his arms, walked to the door, frowned, and finally opened the door with surprise in his eyes.
Standing in front of the door was actually Princess Yunmeng.
Princess Yunmeng was still dressed as red as fire, and Ruyu's cheeks were also tinged with red. Seeing Qiu Changfeng looking over, she suddenly lowered her head, her expression was a bit twitchy, and she said softly, "Qiu...you haven't slept yet. ?"
It was so late at night, Qiu Changfeng was a bit surprised when he saw the princess coming, but when he saw the princess faltering, it was even more as if he saw the sun rising from the north, so he was astonished for a long time before saying, "What's the matter, Your Highness?"
Princess Yunmeng raised her head suddenly, her gaze was full, and there seemed to be something hidden in it, "I...I...can't sleep."
In such a late night, a beautiful woman suddenly came to a man's room. When she said such words, it seemed that even a man couldn't help thinking about it.Qiu Changfeng still looked calm and said: "The princess can't sleep, it's better to find a doctor instead of knocking on my door in the middle of the night."
I thought that Princess Yunmeng would be furious, Qiu Changfeng was also prepared to meet the princess's moodiness, but Princess Yunmeng was not angry, she just looked at Qiu Changfeng resentfully, bit her red lips and said: "I know... You despise me."
Qiu Changfeng frowned, and finally said: "The princess is thinking too much."
Princess Yunmeng stepped forward suddenly, looked up at Qiu Changfeng with her beautiful face up, and said, "I didn't think much about it. You look down on me for being unruly and self-willed, and I don't know how to measure it. You must also blame me for coming here suddenly and ruining your life." If it wasn't for me, you might have already caught the ghost-faced man."
Qiu Changfeng didn't seem to think that Princess Yunmeng would be so sensible, and said after a while: "Princess, don't think about it, let the matter pass. Without you, I might never see that ghost-masked man at all."
Princess Yunmeng couldn't help laughing, and took another step forward, almost leaning against Qiu Changfeng's body.Qiu Changfeng could only retreat.
The two of them entered and retreated into the room.
When Princess Yunmeng was leaning on the door, Qiu Changfeng suddenly discovered that Princess Yunmeng had actually closed the door.Qiu Changfeng frowned again, and finally said: "Your Highness, you can't sleep, but I feel sleepy because of my humble position."
He said it tactfully. At this time, facing such a shy woman, it is really hard for him to speak coldly.
He never thought that Princess Yunmeng would be so shy, nor did he expect that Princess Yunmeng would be so shy with a special charm.
Princess Yunmeng leaned against the door, her whole body seemed to be weak, her complexion was as bright as sunset under the dim light.Her gaze is like water, and her tenderness is like water, and she whispered: "I thought about it a lot, and suddenly I understand...you are not so cold on the surface, but you actually care about me."
Qiu Changfeng originally wanted to say, no matter who is in danger, I will go to save them.Seeing the resentful eyes of Princess Yunmeng, she just said: "Princess, it's late..."
"It's not too late." Princess Yunmeng looked down at her toes, her black hair cascading down her cheeks, revealing her snow-colored neck, and her neck also looked a little red under the light. "I didn't realize it until now, but I know it's not too late. You pretended to be indifferent to me in front of that ghost-faced man, but in fact you were just afraid of being controlled by others. If you weren't like that, you wouldn't be able to save me." Huo Ran raised his head, his eyes burning Looking at Qiu Changfeng, he said, "The fact that you were able to track him down shows that you are not only careful, but also pay attention to me."
Qiu Changfeng looked strange, and smiled wryly, "Really?"
Princess Yunmeng's eyes were full of tenderness, and she whispered: "Does the fragrance on my body smell good?"
Qiu Changfeng was so calm, he almost coughed up when he heard the words, his pale face was embarrassing, he really had nothing to say.
The princess is a woman, and it is rare for a woman to have no fragrance on her body, but Princess Yunmeng has a particularly fragrant body.But the fragrance on her body is definitely not an ordinary fan, and it has a refreshing fragrance.
Qiu Changfeng has no problem with his nose, not only is there no problem, but it is very sensitive, and he has already smelled it.
Princess Yunmeng stared at Qiu Changfeng and said: "I was caught by that hidden trap. I was very scared. I saw him walking through the forest. I was afraid that you would not be able to catch up, so I secretly dropped a small piece of agarwood. I The fragrance on the body is the fragrance of agarwood. This fragrance is a tribute from overseas. Like the flamingo, it was also brought back by Mr. Zheng He. A little sawdust, the fragrance on it can last for years. I like this fragrance very much , so I kept agarwood on my body, I just hope that someone who smells the fragrance of agarwood, finds something strange, and rushes to save me."
Qiu Changfeng smiled, and said slowly: "So Your Highness the Princess is very smart, and at that time, she knows how to save herself." He did follow the scent of aloe to chase after him to the Nine Traps of Tibet, but this little Nine Traps of Tsang clear.
Princess Yunmeng said in a low voice: "Although I know how to save myself, I need someone who cares and knows me well to save me."
Moonlight is like water, and tenderness is like water.Princess Yunmeng stepped forward slowly, and when she came to Qiu Changfeng, she gently raised her head to look at Qiu Changfeng, and said in a gentle and quiet voice like water: "I have always dreamed of having such a person, but now I know that it turns out that ...you are the one."
The moonlight is gentle, shining in through the carved window, laying down a color that is more hazy than the light.
The meaning in Princess Yunmeng's eyes is gentler than that of the moonlight.
Qiu Changfeng looked at Yunmeng, his face turned pale again.If Princess Yunmeng came with a thousand horses and thousands of troops, he would know how to deal with it, but he didn't seem to know how to deal with this princess who seemed to be a complete stranger.
Princess Yunmeng smiled, turned around suddenly, turned her back to Qiu Changfeng and said, "I can't sleep because I want to say these words. I said these words... I feel much better."
She didn't say any more, she seemed to be leaving, when she suddenly saw the wooden barrel in the room, she smiled and said: "Have you not bathed yet?" She stretched out her hand in the water and said, "The water is getting cold."
Her behavior at this time was completely like a woman who fell in love, testing the water temperature for Ailang. Qiu Changfeng saw that there was something strange on her face. Into the wooden barrel, the water splashed everywhere.
Qiu Changfeng was taken aback, but he had no idea why.
The wooden barrel seemed to be a monster, it opened its bloody mouth wide and swallowed the person in at once.
Although Princess Yunmeng was not swallowed, she was submerged in the water, she couldn't even scream out, her feet were shaking, she looked like she was going to be drowned alive.
With a flash of Qiu Changfeng's figure, he was already in front of the bucket, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled the princess out, looking nervously at Princess Yunmeng's face.
At that moment, he almost thought that a ninja appeared and used illusion to restrain the princess.Seeing the charming face of the princess who seemed to be angry and smiling, she couldn't help being startled, and slowly let go of her arms.
Princess Yunmeng stared at Dingqiu Changfeng with bright eyes, and said in a low voice: "It's only now that I'm sure that you really care about me."
Qiu Changfeng really couldn't laugh or cry, he was good at guessing other people's thoughts, but for a while, he couldn't guess the thoughts of this weird woman in front of him.
Could it be that...Princess Yunmeng fell into the water on purpose to see if he was nervous?What is this savage princess thinking?
Finally suppressing his thoughts, Qiu Changfeng sighed and said, "The princess is all wet, go back and change clothes to sleep, or you will catch a cold, and I will not be able to bear the burden of a humble job."
Princess Yunmeng looked down and saw that the skirt of the clothes was soaked and stuck to her body, a red cloud suddenly climbed up her cheeks, stomped her feet and said, "You...are dead." Turning her head to leave, she stopped in front of the door and said, "Your clothes It's wet too, change it quickly."
Only then did Qiu Changfeng notice that the princess had been pulled up just now, and her body was covered with water stains, so she couldn't help but smiled awkwardly: "It's not urgent."
Princess Yunmeng stomped her feet and said coquettishly: "If you don't change your clothes, what will you do if you catch a cold? No, I must see you change your clothes before leaving." Her demeanor was shy with concern and anger Very coquettish, if someone else sees it, I'm afraid that she is 100% sure that she has fallen in love with Qiu Changfeng.
If a woman hadn't fallen in love with a man, how could she care so much about his warmth?And when a woman shows such an attitude, she also hopes that the man will understand her intentions.
Seeing this, Qiu Changfeng's eyes flickered, as if he was still not sure, but he finally took off his gown, put it on the back of the chair, and said helplessly, "Your Highness, can you go back and rest?"
Seeing that Qiu Changfeng became gentle, Princess Yunmeng smiled with satisfaction, turned around and opened the door, and walked out.
Qiu Changfeng watched the princess leave and sighed softly.
At this moment, Princess Yunmeng suddenly screamed.That cry tore apart Shen Ye and pierced through the entire inn. It was mixed with fear and terror, as if Princess Yunmeng had encountered something extremely frightening.
When Qiu Changfeng heard the scream, his heart sank, and he shot out like an arrow. When he saw Princess Yunmeng limp on the ground, he passed out.
Qiu Changfeng was awe-inspiring, and he supported Princess Yunmeng, and was shocked to see that she really passed out.
At this time, Wei Tieyi, Meng Xian and others all rushed out and asked in surprise, "What's the matter?"
With a flick of Qiu Changfeng's fingers, it seemed that a light mist had diffused from his hand, and then he pinched Princess Yunmeng's nose hard.Princess Yunmeng woke up faintly. Seeing Qiu Changfeng, she suddenly hugged Qiu Changfeng and shouted: "He appeared again, he is on the roof."
Qiu Changfeng saw that Princess Yunmeng looked so panic-stricken, looked towards the opposite roof along the patio, and asked slightly: "Who is he?" Seeing the fear in Princess Yunmeng's eyes, Qiu Changfeng said in a low voice: "Yes! Ghost-faced man?"
Princess Yunmeng exclaimed when she heard the words, hugged Qiu Changfeng again, and said in a trembling voice, "Did you see him too?"
Wei Tieyi was startled, and immediately asked everyone to go to the roof to search. After a long time, not to mention the ghost-masked man, there was not a single ghost.Princess Yunmeng was trembling all the time, she couldn't help but said to herself: "Could it be...is...my eyes are dazzled?"
Qiu Changfeng felt terrified in his heart, he didn't want the ghost-masked man to chase here even though he was still alive.Knowing that it was useless to chase after her, seeing Princess Yunmeng was terribly frightened, Qiu Changfeng gave up the idea of following her, patted her vest, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, we are all here, there is nothing he can do."
Princess Yunmeng was trembling all over, and it took a while to realize that she was still in Qiu Changfeng's arms. She suddenly pushed Qiu Changfeng away hard, her face flushed, she hurriedly turned back to the room, closed the door, and never saw her again.
Qiu Changfeng couldn't help being startled, stood up slowly, and saw Wei Tieyi was instructing Yan Le to ride, guarding the roof, and saw Meng Xian looking over.
Meng Xian's eyes were full of jealousy, and he said in a low voice: "Brother Qiu...you are blessed. If you become successful in the future, don't forget my little brother."
Qiu Changfeng regained his composure, and said calmly, "Brother Meng, is he well?"
Meng Xian immediately put his hand on the door frame, became weak, and said with a forced smile: "I was startled just now, and I broke out in a cold sweat, but I feel a little refreshed. But I have to go back to rest." After saying that, he turned and closed the door.
Qiu Changfeng turned around the room thoughtfully, then closed the door, his face changed suddenly, and he rushed to the table.He clearly remembered to put the wet clothes on the back of the chair, but the clothes had long since disappeared.
It's a trivial matter that the clothes are missing, but "Song of the Sun and Moon" is also inside the clothes.
The visitor obviously didn't want to steal his clothes, but his "Song of the Sun and Moon".
"Song of the Sun and Moon" was lost suddenly, but Qiu Changfeng didn't feel nervous or anxious, he just glanced at the open window.
He was guarding the door just now, it is impossible for someone to come in and out through the door, but he didn't notice, no need to ask, the person came in through the window and took his clothes.
He didn't chase out in a hurry, but just walked to the window.
At this time, the bright moon was shining coldly on Qiu Changfeng's pale face, his complexion was uncertain, and the deep meaning in his eyes became more intense.He suddenly discovered that "Song of the Sun and Moon" was gained and lost again, which indicated that everything was not over, but had just begun.
Who took away "Song of the Sun and Moon", could it be the ghost-masked man who was seen by the princess just now, or is there another story behind it?
It's three o'clock, the sky is dark, and it will be bright.
The same is true for many things. It seems dark and endless, but before you know it, the dawn will come, tearing through the seemingly unpredictable and confusing darkness.
Princess Yunmeng was sitting on the bed with her arms around her knees, looking out of the still dark window, and for some reason, a sly smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.
On a midsummer night, there is mystery in the tranquility, and coolness in the hotness. Even the bright moon has shadows in it. It seems that there is some secret hidden in the girl's heart, which is even more complicated and elusive than a midsummer night.
After a fright, Princess Yunmeng was supposed to be uneasy, but she suddenly laughed from the bottom of her heart, what was the reason?
There was a light knock on the door, and the princess suddenly jumped under the bed, and pulled the latch, without even asking, she said, "Sister Ye, what's going on?"
The person standing at the door, as light as a lotus flower in the dark night, is Ye Yuhe.
云梦公主好像早知道叶雨荷会来，又跳回到了床榻上，拉过被子盖住了秀气的纤足，然后很是得意地看着叶雨荷，如同做件得意事，却以为瞒过大人的调皮女孩。
叶雨荷走进房间，手一伸，递过了一件还略带水渍的男人衣服，云梦公主一把抢过，伸手在衣服内一摸，拿出本书来，忍不住喜形于色。
书是《日月歌》，那衣服，赫然就是秋长风的长衫。
秋长风的长衫怎么会落在叶雨荷的手上？叶雨荷无言，神色清冷依旧，可眼中似乎带分别样的味道，毕竟深更半夜去男人的房间，取件男人的衣服这种事情，并不是每个女人都会去做。
云梦公主拿着《日月歌》，还不忘记问一句，“叶姐姐，那个死人脸，没有发现你吧。”
她说的死人脸，当然就是说秋长风。方才她还对秋长风柔情款款，这会儿的工夫，早又回到以往的刁蛮。
见叶雨荷摇摇头，云梦公主拿着书，得意道：“秋长风呀秋长风，我早就说过，你敢得罪本公主，本公主迟早要你的好看。这次上师要的书，在我手上，我看你怎么交差。”忍不住翻了翻那本书，云梦公主蹙眉道：“这上面写的什么？叶姐姐，你看看。”
叶雨荷却后退了一步，低声道：“公主，很多事情，我不便看的。不过这本书，应该是刘太息手上那本。”
她伸手从怀中取出小半页纸递过去，那本是刘太息临死前手上捏的纸片。
云梦公主接过来一对封面，半分不差。扔了那纸片，看着那本书，脸上诧异之色更浓，但终究没有逼叶雨荷看书，暗自想到：不管如何，这本书总是到了本公主手上。嘿嘿，锦衣卫做不到的事情，本公主做到了，上师还不对本公主另眼看待？越想越是得意，云梦公主见叶雨荷还立在那里，说道：“叶姐姐，你也辛苦了，回去休息吧，有事明天再谈。”
叶雨荷点点头，转身要走，突然又停住，微笑道：“公主，我发现你做戏倒是极佳，那声惊叫差点让我以为你见到了鬼呢。若非你那么逼真地拖住秋长风，我还真没把握不被他发现。”
云梦公主笑容陡敛，眼中闪过分畏惧。叶雨荷见了，心中微惊道：“公主，怎么了？”
云梦公主望着叶雨荷，颤声道：“叶姐姐，我刚才本来是想故作惊叫的，但我一晃眼的工夫，看到屋顶好像真有那个鬼面人，这才真的叫了起来。”
叶雨荷一惊，上前一步道：“你确定？”她蓦地发现，这事并非绝无可能。那鬼面人大张旗鼓的劫持了云梦公主，杀人取书，怎么会就这么善罢甘休？
云梦公主反倒有种惘然，苦笑道：“我……我不敢确定。我吓晕过去，醒来后想想，又感觉可能是花了眼。”愤愤地一捶床头，云梦公主道：“你说那些人可能是忍者？”见叶雨荷点头，云梦公主恨恨道：“那死人脸在破庙的时候，也猜那帮人是忍者，我再见到他们，绝不会放过他们。叶姐姐，你一定要为我出这口气。”
叶雨荷心道，只怕不等你见他们，他们就会找上门来。可不忍让云梦公主担忧，叶雨荷只是点点头，就要退出了云梦公主的房间，突然又笑道：“公主，你总骂秋长风是死人脸，可你难道没有发现，他对你其实挺关心的。”
云梦公主一怔，扁扁嘴，不屑道：“他对我关心？”不待多说，叶雨荷已出了房间，带上了房门。云梦公主恨不得追出去，抓住叶雨荷，问她什么意思？难道叶雨荷以为，堂堂的公主会看上个锦衣卫？
可她蓦地想起当初昏迷清醒时，见到秋长风的情形……
那时候她心在剧跳，脸好像烧了起来一样，那种感觉，她从未有过。
她为什么会有那种感觉？
她虽到秋长风的房间，故意勾引秋长风，但那不过是在做戏罢了，她只想骗秋长风解下外衣，因为她早算定，那《日月歌》，会被秋长风贴身收藏。
自然了，那洗澡水，也是她假借姚三思的名义送过去的。
这本来是她云梦公主精心巧思的一个妙计，她想想，都是忍不住地得意。她只有得意，对秋长风也只有厌恶，她一直觉得是这样。可为何她推开秋长风的时候，一颗心都要跳了出来？
那不应是厌恶。
感觉浑身发热，终于扯下了被子，露出了如霜的纤足。望着自己的脚儿，云梦公主有些发痴。
蓦地想起一句古诗来，“履上足如霜，不着鸦头袜。”
那时女人的玉足，素来都是心爱的人，才能够看到。云梦公主想到这里的时候，脸有些发烫。
她那一刻，只是痴痴地望着自己秀气的脚儿，竟也不知道自己在想着什么？
叶雨荷出了公主的房间，并没有回转自己的卧房，反倒走下楼，到了客栈的天井处，靠在一颗大树下，抬头望了眼屋顶。
屋顶处有燕勒骑巡视，可更远处，是璀璨的夜空。
她也不知道自己为何在临别时，对公主说那些话。都说女人的心难以捉摸，有时候，就算女子自己都无法捉摸的。
夜凉如水，她脸上少了分清冷，带了分惘然，陡然想到什么，从怀中取出个马蔺叶编织的昆虫。
那本是秋长风长衫里的东西，她当初摸书的时候，顺便将那东西摸了出来。书交给了云梦公主，可那昆虫，她留了下来。
她当时没有多想，只是奇怪一个锦衣卫的身上，怎么会有这种东西，她认得那昆虫是个蝉儿。
蝉儿薄薄的翅膀，栩栩如生。那蝉儿的眼眸中，似乎竟带分怅然。
叶雨荷不知为何会有这种想法，心中哂然，可陡然警觉升起，身形一转，手握剑柄，低喝道：“谁？”
她蓦地发现，有人到了她的身后。等看清来人，她清冷的脸上突然有分不自然，松开了剑柄，却将那蝉儿牢牢地握在手心。
秋长风不知何时，站在叶雨荷的身后，见叶雨荷转身，秋长风轻淡道：“长夜漫漫，在下无心睡眠，不想叶姑娘也是如此。”
叶雨荷感觉那锐利的眼眸似乎看出了什么，强自镇定道：“你怎么睡不着？”
秋长风道：“《日月歌》那本书再度失窃，我当然睡不着了。”
叶雨荷心头一跳，尽量让自己吃惊的表情逼真些，“什么……《日月歌》……失窃了，那你怎么办？”
秋长风不答反问道：“叶姑娘为何也睡不着呢？”
叶雨荷蓦地发现秋长风不知何时对她换了称呼，竟不叫她捕头了，脸色转冷道：“我睡不睡，关你什么事？你我本是没什么关系，这次并非我来找你的。”她显然还记得当初在青田县衙，秋长风曾经说过她总是跟在他身边的那句话。
她说完后，也有些奇怪，为何这不相关的一句话，她还记得？但她不想多想，转身准备离去。
秋长风笑笑，淡然道：“你睡不着的确不关我事，但你若是做贼心虚睡不着，那就和我有些关系了。”
叶雨荷霍然转身，怒望秋长风道：“你说什么？”
秋长风并不避叶雨荷灼灼的眼眸，目光中带分揶揄，“我说什么，叶姑娘应该知道。公主晕倒，最先出来的其实应该是叶姑娘，可叶姑娘一直没有现身，难道是在别人的房间偷件衣服？”
叶雨荷心头一沉，从未想到这个不经意的细节，居然也是破绽。
秋长风说得不错，云梦公主受惊，她有卫护公主职责，当然应该出来看看，当初她没有出现，的确很不符合常理。
心中虽惊，叶雨荷还是镇定道：“我看到有人主动护花，自然不想出来大煞风景。有些人沉湎温柔乡内，失窃了东西，难道想推到旁人的身上？如果真的这样，这人很让我失望。”
秋长风目光闪烁，轻叹口气道：“公主的表现，倒是让我不出意料，可叶捕头的表现，却很让我失望。你好好的一个捕头，捉贼才是正事，为何留在公主身旁，陪着公主胡闹呢？”
叶雨荷故作没听出秋长风的言下之意，冷冷道：“我好像没有必要让你期待什么？”她转身就走，不想再留。
秋长风望着那远去的背影，眼中突然露出分古怪，轻声道：“我编的秋蝉你很喜欢吗？”
叶雨荷愣住，回头望去，秋长风已经不见。
她握住蝉儿的手有些发白，心中诧异。她一口否认偷过秋长风的衣服，本认定秋长风无可奈何，不想秋长风方才已看到她手上的蝉儿。
这无疑是铁证——铁证如山。
秋长风早知道是她偷了《日月歌》，可秋长风为何不明说出来。《日月歌》事关重大，在秋长风手上丢失，他本来难辞其咎，可为何秋长风好像并不想要取回？
秋长风到底打着什么主意？
叶雨荷百思不得其解，终于松开了手掌，看着掌心的那蝉儿。
蝉儿碧绿，幽幽的好像也在望着叶雨荷，想要说些什么……
