Lianshan Midnight Green

Ding Jue sat on the threshold with his long legs crossed, looking down at a black line moving slowly on the ground.Small ants lined up can also have such a momentum.He watched for a long time, and when Ulan came out, he told her, "It's going to rain."

Wu Lan looked up at the sky and said, "Really, the sky is cloudy." She thought about where Fu Lang had wandered off again, so she took the umbrella and wanted to find it. Ding Jue stood up and took the umbrella: " I'll go."

It was getting late, he searched half of the house, and finally saw Fu Lang sleeping on a reclining chair in the yard with a handkerchief covering his face.Ding Jue laughed angrily, and went to pat her awake: "Hey, Fu Lang, wake up. It's going to rain, don't get moldy if you bask in the sun here."

Fu Lang calmly took off his handkerchief, folded it and put it away. It turned out that he was not sleeping, but was still lying down, "Ding Jue, do you know how to establish a household in Pingyang City to find a house?"

Ding Jue squatted down, "What are you doing? What are you thinking about all day long?"

Fu Lang sat up slowly, "It's nothing, if you don't know, I'll ask someone else."

Ding Jue watched her stand up and really wanted to leave, so he stopped her: "What's the matter with one or two of you? Forget it, I'll just ask you."

Only then did Fu Lang turn his head and nod, Ding Jue threw the umbrella to her: "Go back quickly, Wu Lan is waiting for you foolishly."

Fu Lang put her head down and walked away. It was dark and the winding path was winding. She walked to the backyard.The last time I came here was still spring, the flowers and trees were colorful, and the ground was full of apricot petals.Now the sky is dark, but you can see the leaves of one tree after another, rustling in the night wind, there is no moonlight, and the leaves are pitch black one by one.She felt oppressed in her heart and felt airless, so she walked out of the back door by footsteps.Once out of Canglang Terrace, the streets are full of people and horses, because there will be a curfew in a while, so everyone is rushing home.She didn't want to go back, so she sat down on the stone steps by the side of the road, watching the people coming and going, a little lost in thought.

Someone sat down beside her and watched with her for a while.She was numb at the bottom of her heart, and looked at the roadside hawkers for a while before turning around, and saw a middle-aged man, who always felt familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

The man saw that she had finally noticed him, and said hello: "Miss Fu, Yanling will be away for a few months, will you be safe?"

Fu Lang gradually remembered the point of the dagger at the corner of Yanling City, and the water stain on the tea stand in Pingwang City.Cold sweat seeped out of her back as her memory came back to life. She stood up suddenly, but the man grabbed her wrist tightly.

It rained for a while, but it still didn't fall.Pei Se listened to the doctor's report at the window of Hechuan Palace for a while, watched the sky darken, ordered people to close the window, and went back to King Qi's bed.

Just after King Qi finished drinking the medicine, Pei Se handed over a candied fruit, and he waved his hand: "It's much better recently, and now I don't feel bitter in my mouth."

Seeing his father gesturing to dismiss everyone, Pei Se silently took his hand back, knowing that he had something to say.Unexpectedly, King Qi hesitated for a long time, and then slowly said: "Father, I heard some ridiculous things from people these days."

Pei Se asked, "Which ones?"

King Qi smiled, and poked her forehead: "What else? How much have you done?"

Pei Se also laughed, the candied fruit in her hand was thrown aside at some point, and she peeled another water chestnut and handed it to King Qi: "Changyu just came back, those people must show their prestige. Changyu also received a lot Menke, there will be a change of blood in the future. I follow their wishes and push the pier..."

King Qi took the water chestnut, "Father didn't mean that."

Pei Se stopped talking, peeled another one, saw that the one in King Qi's hand had not been eaten, and put it in his mouth.The water chestnuts in this season are tender and sweet, but her mouth has a bitter taste of medicine.The smell of medicine in this sleeping hall is bitter all year round.She took the water chestnut that King Qi didn't eat, "It turns out that King Father has heard about that."

King Qi said: "They said that there is a girl named Fu in your house. Thurse, do you really like women?"

Pei Se nodded, then shook his head again, King Chu smiled: "What does this mean? Yes, or not?"

Pei Se lowered her head and said, "She doesn't like me."

King Qi reached out and brushed her forehead hair, and said after a while: "It's okay, there is no such thing as a good man. In a blink of an eye, you have grown so big. Father, will you find a marriage for you?"

Pei Se shook her head without hesitation this time: "Father, I don't want them."

Compared with sleeping all day long in the past, King Qi's health is much better these days, and he speaks fluently. It happened that Pei Se was there, so he couldn't help but say a lot.When she came out of the Hechuan Hall, it was already dark and it hadn't rained yet.Chiyu waited outside the door, holding an umbrella in his hand, and called the carriage over, but she stopped him: "I'll walk for a while."

These days, she is not as busy as she was a while ago, and the important officials in her hands are handed over to Chang Yu bit by bit, so she should be much more relaxed.Chiyu could see that Pei Se had deliberately delayed outside recently, doing everything slowly, meaning that he didn't want to go back to Canglang Terrace until nightfall.Now that she said that again, Chiyu followed her slowly along the long and empty palace road to the palace gate.

Chiyu weighed the tung oil umbrella in his hand, "It's raining heavily this day, I don't know when it will fall."

Pei Se raised her head and looked at the pitch-black sky. The clouds were thick and covered the brilliance of the stars and the moon, and then thin drizzles of rain fell.

Fu Lang was politely "invited" into a mansion, the sky was gloomy, the man urged: "Miss Fu, hurry up, our son is still waiting."

Fu Lang said: "Your son?"

The man didn't answer, walked two steps and turned around again, and arrived in front of a wooden door: "Miss Fu, please."

Fu Lang had no choice but to go in, and saw that there was no one in the room, and there were teacups and other things on the table, which were just ordinary furnishings.She sat down and waited for a while, and then wanted to go out to breathe, but the wooden door was already locked.She returned to the desk and sat down obediently, and continued to wait for about two sticks of incense, when she heard a faint sound on the side of the wall.There is a shelf of books on the wall, but Fu Lang has seen a lot in Anqi Building, and he can tell that there are hidden compartments and secret passages. After touching and touching, he didn't know which mechanism he touched, so he slid to the sides, revealing A staircase leading underground.

Fu Lang had never been so calm, with a wooden face, he walked down without hesitation.The secret passage was quite long, and the more it went underground, the more gloomy and damp it became. When there were faint lights on both sides, bursts of wailing had inevitably reached the ears.Following the sound, she saw that the tortured person was only a half-grown child, his hands and feet were hung, his head was hanging down and his face could not be seen clearly, and there were welts on the exposed flesh.

The torturer heard footsteps and turned to see Fu Lang.The same words came out of the thin lips: "I'm really sorry, I've always been very busy, and now I'm free to invite the girl. Miss Fu, don't worry."

At this time, she took a few steps towards the light trail, and met the man's eyes.When he was in Yanchuan, Fu Lang was scared to death, he just knelt on the ground and glanced at him, but he didn't see his face clearly.At this moment, her heart was at peace, and she could see clearly that the man in front of her had a fair and handsome face, and his long and narrow eyes were warm and bright. Although he was tall, he was a little thin, with a youthful air about him.

The man let her look directly at him, ignored her, but stretched his hand into the charcoal basin.He has a wide robe and wide sleeves, and his movements are extremely elegant, but he picked up a red-hot iron.

Fu Lang suddenly realized what he was going to do, and suddenly turned his head away.

A child's mournful scream rang in my ears, and the unspeakable smell of burnt flesh spread out in the damp cellar.At the same time, the man threw away the soldering iron, which landed at Fu Lang's feet with a "boom", and the silk fabric quickly rolled up several times with sparks, scorching a corner of the skirt.

He grabbed the child's hair and forced him to raise his head, and asked calmly, "Why did you miss that time?"

The child cried, "Big... Pei Se is not in the carriage!"

The man asked again: "Say it again. Why did you miss it?"

The child straightened up, and said in a trembling voice: "It's my fault. Young Master, I was stupid and didn't manage them well. Please don't punish them, Young Master..."

The man asked, "Who are you? Who are they?"

The child answered immediately: "I'm a son's house slave. I've been it all my life."

Only then did Fu Lang understand why there was no result in that case.Those who released the arrows were all children. After releasing the arrows, they threw away the bows and arrows and ran away. The children were laughing and laughing. The officers and soldiers would not suspect anything when they saw it, and most of them would send the children down the city wall.When she heard the word "slave" at last, her heart felt cold.

He finally let go of his hand, turned to look at Fu Lang, she couldn't help but took a step back.
