[Twelve o'clock in Chang'an] Six states song head

Jiang Zhu took off the hibiscus crown for him, put it in his bosom, and soiled Li Bi's crane cloak, and then said: "I should pass through the underground city ahead, if anyone asks, just say that I am a kabuki from Erqu, You wanted to take me out, but the manager was inaccurate because of insufficient money, so you took me out secretly."

Li Bi seemed a little nervous, and it took him a long time to say: "If someone asks, will they believe it?"

"Being chased by the stewards here is better than being chased by the officials. It would be bad if they handed us over to You Xiaowei." Jiang Zhu hung the knife on Li Bi's waist, and put the hair on his head. Ji tore apart a little, his eyes sparkled, and said: "Don't be afraid, we are together."

Li Bing hummed and said, "Together."

Jiang Zhu took his hand and ran towards the west, the two of them ran forward all the way, gradually approaching the bright place.

Even though he was running fast, Li Bi could still see pairs of numb eyes glancing at him from time to time in the alleys on both sides. Most of the owners of these eyes were ragged, haggard, and skinny, and one could tell what kind of life they lived.They sit or lie in groups of twos and threes, with expressionless faces, as if they have no hope for life.

This is the first time Li Bi saw such people in Chang'an.

This is Chang'an, which is bustling, prosperous and glorious for thousands of years...

But what kind of life do these people live?

Li Bi tried his best not to think about these things anymore, he already knew the goal of the scorpion, and the most urgent task now is to stop the scorpion.

Seeing that the two were about to leave Erqu, they were suddenly stopped by another group.

"What do you do?"

Li Bi and Jiang Zhu looked at each other, and explained according to what she said before: "I want to take her out of the second song, but the manager felt that Qian Shao didn't want it, so I took her out."

The leading strong man glanced at the two suspiciously, and said to Jiang Zhu, "Are you from Erqu?"

Jiang Zhu lowered his head and said, "My concubine's name is Sese, and she sings Erqu East."

"Singing in a Hu suit?"

"It was prepared by the lord for my concubine, and I asked my concubine to accompany him to watch the lantern today."

The man looked at Li Bi and said, "What did you prepare?"

Li Bi met his gaze, nodded after a long time and said: "I prepared it... I want to go boating with her to enjoy the lanterns, and the flowers will be under the moon."

Jiang Zhu caught a glimpse of Li Bi's blushing face, obviously it took him a long time to hold back such words, he was a little amused in his heart, but he couldn't laugh because of the scene.

"Sing a song? Sing one and let me listen—"

Li Bi was a little annoyed, and said, "Why don't you let us go?"

Jiang Zhu pulled him and shook his head lightly, then said: "What song do you want to hear?"

The other party calmly said: "Sing something you are good at."

"Here." Jiang Zhu responded softly, she thought for a moment, and sang: "The willows at the east gate are green and haggard, and the old man's heart is shining brightly, day and night we grind..."

The lyrics she sang are simple and easy to understand, and the melody is clear and sad, which makes people feel desolate and lonely.

Li Bi looked at her with flickering eyes.

The other party waved his hand impatiently after hearing this, and said, "Go, go, it's unlucky to sing such a song during the festival! If it wasn't for a kabuki who was about to run away before, and her lover almost broke his leg, I would I will never let you leave so easily!"

Jiang Zhu held Li Bi's hand, looked at him with a smile.Just as the two were about to leave, another person suddenly stopped them and said to the strong man before, "Look at their extraordinary clothes, I'm afraid they are not ordinary people."

"It's...it's better to detain them and hand them over to the boss. Half of them are protection, and the other half is to ask for some money."

Li Bi was startled, and was about to say something when someone beat him unconscious with a wooden stick.

Jiang Zhu didn't have time to make a move, and the other party was also stunned.

In the bamboo grove, the smoke from the incense burner, and the mist, he was sitting quietly in front of the table with his eyes closed, when suddenly someone sat up next to him, patted his wet clothes, and complained: "This damn weather, what a beautiful day!" , Just say what you say, so that people are not prepared at all."

He was silent.

"Hey, Li Bi, tell me about you, you're sitting here motionless, what did you come up with?"

He opened his eyes and looked at him, intending to let Yao Ru speak quickly.

Yao Ru-neng didn't seem to see it, he just chattered: "You were like a Taoist priest when you were young, and you were deserted every day, which scared Li Gong and Li Niangzi all day long, because they were afraid that you would ascend to immortality if you were not paying attention. Ah, when I saw the censer, I poured water on it, and when I heard the colorful clouds outside, I took you to hide in the house, and finally survived until you were 15 years old, but you ran to this mountain again, saying that you had a bad conscience Jian. Ah, tell me about you, isn’t this purely angry with Mr. Li?” Yao Ru can talk about Li Bi’s childhood in vivid and vivid ways, dancing and dancing, but fortunately, Tanqi, who is serving at the side, can bear it, otherwise I’m afraid he would have laughed out loud sounded.

Li Bi looked at him and said for a long time, "What are you going to do?"

"Hey, I'm finally willing to open my mouth!" Yao Ru Neng approached with a smile.

Li Bi was speechless, and was about to close his eyes when Yao Runeng reached out and patted his shoulder, saying, "Hey, don't sleep!"

Li Bi knew that if he didn't talk to him today, he might not be at peace, so he said: "What are you going to do?"

"Come and see you. Before you said you were going to do asceticism in Zhongnan Mountain, we were not allowed to see you off, and now you are not even allowed to visit? Let me tell you, if you really want to do asceticism, don't bring sandalwood chess with you. Staying in this deep mountain and old forest is like a village girl."

The corners of Tan Qi's lips curled up slightly, and he didn't speak, just put the broken tea cake into the tea stove, and simmered it slowly.

Li Bi just felt that he was going around and not talking about the main point, so he couldn't help but sighed and said, "What exactly do you want to say?"

Yao Ru Neng took off the burden he was carrying on his back, put it on the case table, and said: "Being entrusted by others is a matter of loyalty."

Li Bi was taken aback for a moment, and first raised his eyes to look at Yao Runeng, seeing that his face remained unchanged, he had no choice but to reach out to open the wet bundle.

Unexpectedly, there was a bamboo-colored winter coat inside the burden, which was a Taoist dress style, including crane cloaks and Taoist skirts.The fabric is made of linen, with several layers intertwined, and it feels extra thick, but inside it is lined with white soft brocade, and the tentacles are warmed up, but it is slightly damp because of the rain. Removed pinholes left by heavy seams.

Tan Qi was handing tea to Yao Ru Neng, when he suddenly saw this robe, he couldn't help being a little surprised.

Yao Ru Neng took a sip of the hot tea, couldn't help sighing in satisfaction, and then said, "Hand over. It's late autumn now, and she can't rest assured about your small body."

Li Bi gently caressed the stitches of the robe, and then said: "...No need, give it back to her for me."

Yao Runeng sneered, and said: "You are obviously reluctant, why are you pretending? This is made by her own hands. She has been wielding knives and guns since she was a child. She finally made such a dress. There are several blood holes in her hands. You Just keep it and don’t wear it, but return it?”

"Indecency."

"Excuse." Yao Ru Neng put down the teacup in his hand and said, "You just want to prove that you have nothing to do with the Prime Minister, King Anzhong's heart? Do you think you need to write three letters of divorce? One letter, she is a girl, can she bear it? Besides, A Zhu’s surname is Jiang and not Lin, she is the young daughter of the loyal minister Jiang Gong, and she is your childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart, do you think she is someone like Lin Jiulang?”

Li Bi said nothing.

The two were at a stalemate, the atmosphere was awkward, and Tan Qi couldn't help but stop and look at the two.

Yao Runeng was laughed at by him, and it took him a long time before he said: "If you are like this, I have nothing to say, I will take the things back and make her give up completely." After that, he got up to get the Unexpectedly, Li Bi's hand was faster than him, and he pressed it on the clothes.

Yao Ru can look at him and said, "What are you doing?"

It took Li Bi a long time to say: "I will keep the clothes."

Yao Ru Neng looked at him sideways, then snorted and laughed, and said, "You are the heartbroken man in the story book, I will write a legend for you two when I turn around, it is called... "Long Gan Xing", borrowed from Li Taibai's masterpiece In the name of this time, I will definitely be able to write a story comparable to "The Peacock Flies to the Southeast"! At that time, I will sell it on the black market, and I will protect you, Li Lang, from being scolded and sprayed with blood!"

Li Bi just stroked his collar lightly, without speaking.

Tan Qi on the side heard it and couldn't help chuckling.

It was raining non-stop outside, Yao Ru Neng rested his right arm on the desk, looked at the clouds and sighed softly, and said: "Lang came on a bamboo horse, and went around the bed to grow green plums. Living together in Changgan, the two little ones have no doubts..."

Li Bi looked up at him.

"She's gone, so I entrusted me to hand it over to you."

Tan Qi was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and looked at Li Bi, seeing that his expression was really abnormal, his brows were slightly wrinkled, and his eyelashes trembled slightly.

"She didn't dare to see you, so she asked me to give you the winter clothes. She went to Tianshui alone to guard Jiang Gong's spirit. Before she left, she said that she sewed a winter clothes by herself. In this way, I am afraid that you will not have suitable clothes after the winter. Otherwise, I will not rush to give you things in the rain today." Yao Ru Neng pointed to the thatch above his head and said, "I don't want to come to your place. !"

Li Bi lowered his eyes and said, "Did she ever have something to say to me?"

"I have something to say..." Yao Ru Neng seemed to be disdainful, and then said: "I have something to say, do you really want to hear it?"

Li Bi nodded.

Tan Qi knew that Li Bi had always been introverted, and the calmer he was, the more at a loss he would feel.

"You don't cry, do you?"

Tan Qi was also a little anxious, and said: "Don't play tricks on Young Master anymore!"

Yao Runeng laughed twice, then cleared his throat and said: "The willows at the east gate are green and haggard when they are old. The old man's heart is so bright, it will be polished day and night."

Li Bi just woke up, just when he was in a daze, he vaguely remembered that he was knocked out, but he had a long dream, in the dream was the singing of ginger and bamboo, drifting away, only he was alone , looking around in a daze, wanting to stay but seeing nothing.

"Pomegranate……"

"It's weird."

Suddenly a woman appeared in front of him, her hair was disheveled, and there were sores on her face. At first glance, she looked terrifying, and Li Bi couldn't help but lean back in fright.

The woman was amused by his actions, and said, "It's really fun."

Li Bi's vision was dim, remembering that Jiang Zhu was with him, he immediately got up and asked, "Where is she?"

"You mean the one over there?" the woman stroked her hair and asked.

Li Bi saw Jiang Zhu leaning in the corner with his eyes closed, obviously not awake yet, he didn't care about being afraid, he immediately got up and walked to Jiang Zhu's side, stretching out his hand to test her breath, he didn't let go until he noticed that her breathing was steady With one breath, he carefully let her lie on the straw in the corner.

Seeing his cautious look, the woman sneered and said, "Do you like her?"

Li Bi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "No..." He stopped in the middle of speaking, dreaming about youthful affairs in the middle of the night, not dreaming of idlers but Meng Qing, how could he deny it.

Seeing that he was silent, the woman said, "Weird."

Li Bi looked at Jiang Zhu's peaceful sleeping face and said, "When can we go out?"

The woman turned her head away and said, "I don't know. He won't let you out easily."

Li Bi was a little depressed for a moment, he sat on the spot without saying a word, just staring fixedly at a certain point of nothingness.

After a while, the woman took the initiative to say: "My name is A Zhi. I just heard them say that she is a kabuki?"

Li Bi said nothing.

"That's great. How could Erqu's girl dare to sneak away without permission? Let alone with her lover, when the two of them are captured together, they will definitely die. Since you are willing to take her away, you must like her very much." Azhi sat on the ground with his arms around his shoulders.

Li Bi recalled that she came from the prime minister's mansion and risked confronting her elder brother who raised her to help him, and now she is in jail with him, probably not much different from the Erqu woman who fled with her lover.

"We are childhood sweethearts."

A Zhu was a little curious after hearing this: "My childhood sweetheart? Then why did she become a kabuki?"

Li Bi thought for a long time but did not get an answer, he just said: "Fate."

"And after that?"

"I have a marriage contract with her. It's just for various reasons. I can't help it. I can't fulfill it. I...although I am a cultivator, I can't let her go." Li Bi looked at the candlelight and said, "It's just that time has passed and she is no longer willing to marry her again." Obsessed with me."

Ah Zhi sneered a few times after hearing this, and said, "That's true, why did she still elope with you?"

Li Bi was slightly taken aback.

Ah Zhi sighed softly, and said: "I have read a legend before, and it is a story about a pair of childhood sweethearts. It makes people feel warm after reading it, and I like it very much. Guess how it ends?"

Li Bi couldn't help but hold his breath and concentrate.

"The author himself didn't know it, he just said that the two were separated, and the ending was hasty. At that time, my elder brother scolded the author for having no conscience, and almost burned the book."

Li Bi didn't say anything, but he guessed all kinds of things in his heart. Eight out of ten this book was written by Yao Ru, and the hasty ending is probably because he himself didn't know how it would end.

Even Li Bi himself didn't know how the story would end.

He changed the subject and said, "Are you literate?"

"I recognized a few, but most of them were told by others."

"Why are you locked up here? Where's your brother?"

Ah Zhi was silent for a long time, and said: "My elder brother is outside, he is the one who locked me up."

Suddenly there was a drum sound outside, and Ah Zhi was a little surprised, and asked, "What does this mean?"

There was light in Li Bi's eyes, and he said, "No retreat."

Jiang Zhu woke up slowly due to a burst of noise, and happened to see Li Bi being strangled by someone's neck, so he immediately woke up, stood up against the wall and said, "What are you doing!"

When she woke up like this, she felt sore all over her body, especially her right shoulder. It hurt even more because of the injury, and she didn't have a weapon in her hand, so she didn't know if she could beat the people in front of her.

Li Bi struggled to open his mouth and said: "The black soil for burning ceramics, plant ash, vinegar paste, brazier...can cure your sister's illness..."

Jiang Zhu turned his head, only then did he see that there was another woman with rotten sores on her body, and she was crying.

"False hope is hope, why not give it a try?"

Li Bi boiled the medicine, and Jiang Zhu was on the sidelines, neither of them spoke, only Azhi brother and sister bickered, after Li Bijiang explained how to use the medicine, the man who knocked them unconscious before suddenly walked in and said to Azhi's brother , at the moment when the right minister was being arrested and assassinated outside, the man was wearing a green Taoist robe.

The two were released again in a daze as righteous men who assassinated Lin Jiulang. Jiang Zhu's saber, which had been confiscated, was also returned, and Brother Azhi also exchanged his clothes for Li Bi.

When the two came out of the darkroom, they happened to meet Zhang Xiaojing who had come in exchange for information, their eyes intertwined, and they couldn't help showing rare knowing smiles.

Li Bi and Zhang Xiaojing concluded that the assassination of Lin Jiulang was just a cover, and after discussing the next arrangement, they took Jiang Zhu to part ways with him.

The two were escorted away, and when they arrived at the west gate of Pingkangfang, Li Bi asked, "Where is Pomegranate going next?"

"Go back to the mansion. I encountered some strange things, and there should be clues when I go back to the mansion." Jiang Zhu looked at him and said, "I wonder if I can help you."

Li Bi looked at her, and said: "When you go back, remember to have the wound treated first." He gently took her hand, as if a little awkward, and said after a long time: "Don't get hurt again."

Jiang Zhu showed a faint smile and said, "Okay."
