Wait a minute, heroine

In the afternoon, near the Yamen of the Twelve Schools in Yanjing.

The sky was gloomy, and the spring rain began to fall again unconsciously, rendering the original streets black and blue.

Night Terror Hall was wearing a guard robe and holding an oil-paper umbrella in his hand, standing outside the eaves of the small street.

Under the eaves, there is a gray-haired old woman, sitting on a small bench with a basket on her legs, slowly weaving flower ropes, and chatting with each other:

"You're so young, why don't you go out and make a living?"

"I used to work as a escort outside, and I was exposed to the wind and sun every day without enough food or clothing. I was so busy that I couldn't save much money at the end of the year. It was more comfortable to find a job in the city..."

"That's true. How old are you this year? Do you have a wife?"

"Almost 20, I have a crush on a girl, but she's not married yet."

"Hey, you have to hurry up. My old man is your age and his kids are all running around..."

"hehe……"

…

After chatting with each other for only a moment, a group of people came out of the twelve yamen outside the small street. The leader was Cao Aning, who was wearing official robes, followed by two small followers.

After Ye Jingtang saw this scene, he took out five copper coins, took the five-color rope from the hand of the old lady setting up the stall, and walked slowly to the corner of the small street. He glanced at Cao Aning briefly, and then walked to a shop on the side of the street. Next to the notice board, I looked at the content on it.

Although Cao Aning's martial arts skills were not high, he was not average among ordinary people. When he noticed someone looking at him, he turned his head and glanced, and found that the King of Hell was waiting outside the Yamen, and then walked away calmly for a distance. , and then ordered his subordinates:

"By the way, you go back and take the names of the servants of the foreign embassy, ​​so that your adoptive father will not ask you questions later."

"yes."

The two policemen who were following him quickly turned around and ran back to the Twelve Stations.

Cao Aning waited on the side of the road with an umbrella. After making sure that no one was paying attention, he naturally walked to the notice board across the street and stood with his hands behind his hands to check it carefully.

The notice was just put up this morning. The leader is the big devil Night Terror. He looks very handsome with thick eyebrows, big eyes, sword eyebrows and starry eyes. Various characteristics, portable weapons, etc. are also written next to it.

The other person is Xue Baijin, the leader of Pingtian. Because few people have seen what leader Pingtian looks like, the picture is of a man wearing a mask, and the information is not very detailed.

After Cao Aning looked at it for a few times, he whispered calmly:

"This portrait was described by me personally and painted by the painter of the command yamen. Eunuch Yin couldn't find anything wrong with it. How does it feel? Is it handsome or not?"

Ye Jingtang stood beside him holding an umbrella, looking at the portrait that was only three-quarters of his own, nodding his head if there was any sign of it:

"As expected of a secret guard, he really handles everything well."

"Oh, my lord, it's just a compliment. It's just a matter of duty."

After Cao Aning said a polite word, he pretended to check for a wanted criminal and said:

"The Ming Shen Diagram is lost, and the implication is relatively high. I have been following Eunuch Yin. Although I am not suspected, I cannot escape the responsibility for Eunuch Yin's dereliction of duty. Before Emperor Liang returns to the palace, if he cannot find a reasonable excuse to shirk responsibility, I will I’m afraid it will be difficult to go up any higher…”

Ye Jingtang said: "The person who sneaked into the palace yesterday was the flower-faced fox from the snowy field. He used his face to get in front of the Queen Mother. After inquiring about the defense situation of the imperial city, he sneaked into Mingle while Emperor Liang was away. Palace, opened the secret room..."

When Cao Aning heard this, he was slightly startled, and then suddenly realized:

"No wonder, let me tell you what happened today. Why did the Queen Mother suddenly come to Mingle Palace? She also comforted Eunuch Yin and hinted that she would plead with Emperor Liang to protect him. It turned out that she wanted Eunuch Yin to take the responsibility for his dereliction of duty...

"This matter must be clarified. Not only Eunuch Yin, but Xu Tianying is also implicated. He didn't do anything last night. Just because he had the opportunity to commit crimes because of his extraordinary qinggong, he was put under house arrest immediately after the incident happened this morning. Eunuch Ziliang just came back. We are preparing for interrogation. If we really ask for something, we will be in trouble..."

"Eunuch Ziliang has come back?"

"Well, Emperor Liang was supposed to be back, but there were bandits in the city that have not yet been identified. For safety reasons, he temporarily diverted to inspect the military camp outside the city."

Cao Aning said this, and then said: "Zhongsun Jin knows your purpose, and will definitely stay in the clear water forest like an old dog, and will not give you the slightest chance to make a move. If you want me to see it, it's better for you to get out first, Xiang I’m afraid Master Han will be back soon.”

This is what Ye Jingtang came to inquire about, and asked at this time:

"Can you find out when exactly Master Xiang Han will come back?"

Cao Aning shook his head: "I have asked Eunuch Yin in the past few days. According to Eunuch Yin, the Tianlang beads in the Northwest Royal Court are made by tempering the muscles and bones to adapt to the medicinal properties since childhood. When adults take the medicine, they will be broken and then rebuilt. Muscles, but the reaction is not too big and can be tolerated.

"The new formula researched by the imperial court draws on the pharmacology of Tianlang Pearl. It also rebuilds muscles and bones after breaking and building, but it omits the part of laying the foundation since childhood, so it can be used by anyone.

"The Tianlang Pearl uses strong medicine, even if it is the Daliang Pearl with very little medicinal properties, Guan Yujia will explode and die on the spot after eating it.

"The new medicine studied by the Beiliang court has stronger medicinal properties than Tianlang Pearl. If someone who has not been accustomed to the medicine since childhood takes it in one bite, even if there are magical items such as Snow Lake Flower that protect the meridians and continuation of the meridians, there will be no time to hedge against the toxicity. The body has to explode, so we can only slowly absorb the medicinal properties, let people adapt first, and then gradually transform themselves.

"Eunuch Yin can't say for sure when it will take to reborn, but the stronger the body, the faster it will be. Master Xiang Han has been going to Immortal Hidden Peak for almost half a month. As long as his body doesn't explode, he will be out soon... "

It was the first time for Ye Jingtang to take Tianlang Beads. Even though he had been used to the medicine that he had been soaking in since he was a child, the medicinal properties of strengthening muscles and forging bones had troubled him all night. For people who haven't been used to it since childhood, they can complete all the procedures in half a month, which is really fast. He thought for a while and said:

"If the pills obtained by Beiliang are really so overbearing, if they don't cause trouble, Master Zhongsunjin and Xiang Han will all be able to make further progress in a few months, and even bring Beiyunbian here. It is several times more difficult to snatch the elixir than it is now, so we can only try again before Master Xiang Han comes out."

Cao Aning thought about it, nodded and said:

"Then as soon as possible. Emperor Liang's safety is more important than a pill. Before Master Xiang Han comes back, most of the manpower will be concentrated around Emperor Liang. As long as you are sure to shake the Bishui Forest, you can try again as soon as possible. If it doesn't work, then that's okay. There is no other way but to discuss it later.”

"I have practiced the Ming Shen Tu. Now I should be able to find Zhongsun Jin's position in the fog barrier. I am still confident of dealing with it..."

Ye Jingtang and Cao Aning discussed for a while, and the policeman who went back to pick up the things ran out of the Yamen with the case file in his arms. Seeing this, he stopped talking and walked towards the alley holding an umbrella.

Cao Aning continued to look at the notice board, waiting for his men to run over, then turned and headed towards the imperial city...

——

After returning to the Imperial College from the Twelve Schools, there was still a moment before school was over.

Night Terror Hall was thinking about the next plan along the way, and came to the street outside the Imperial Academy. Seeing that there was still some time, he walked to the Qingshi Street, thinking about going to the Rabbit Head Shop to buy some spiced rabbit heads, and reward him for his diligence in helping him at night. Flying birds.

Because school hadn't finished yet, the Qingshi Street was empty, and there weren't many people around.

As soon as Night Terror Hall turned the corner, he saw a woman standing outside the Rabbit Head Shop in the depths of the street.

The woman is tall, wearing a white dress, holding an oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and a big bird wrapped around her arm. She is covered by her sleeves and robe. Only her furry head is exposed from her arm. She is looking anxiously into the window. chopping board.

And the sound of repeated conversations also came through the drizzle:

"Isn't the girl a student of the Imperial College?"

"No, I live in Dongcheng. I heard that the rabbit head tastes good. I stopped by to have a look..."

"Really... This snow eagle looks really good. I remember that the young master of Zhao Shilang's family on Bell Tower Street also had a snow eagle. He even brought it for a walk before. It's not as good-looking as the girl's, but he's not as greedy either. , I don’t even look at the things handed to me by others..."

"grumble?"

Birdie, who was impatient at first, immediately stopped his direct gaze after hearing these words, and put on a cute look like a good and obedient bird.

When Ye Jingtang saw Xue Baijin and Niaoniao here, he was naturally stunned for a moment, because the owner of the Tutou Shop had seen him, and he did not directly approach to strike up a conversation, but put away his umbrella under the eaves.

Xue Baijin was waiting at the door of the Rabbit Head Shop, and naturally noticed the Night Terror Hall from the corner of her eye. After the shopkeeper wrapped the Rabbit Head and handed it to her, she turned around with an umbrella and came under the same roof:

"As soon as it woke up, it started rolling around and took me outside. I thought it was going somewhere, but it just wanted to eat the rabbit's head. Where were you just now?"

Ye Jingtang knew the character of Birds very well and was not surprised at all. He responded:

"I just went to the city to inquire about the news. The situation is quite urgent now. I have to find a way to take action as soon as possible and try again at Bishui Forest. Yesterday, when Zhongsun Jin spread heavy fog, he couldn't figure out the position and it was difficult to get close. Now After practicing Ming Shen Tu, you should have a chance."

Xue Baijin knew that she couldn't stay here for long, so she decided to make a quick decision in her heart. She thought for a while and said:

"Ning'er and the others can't help. Send them out of the city first, and wait for us at Chengtian Mansion with Xuanyuan Tiangang and his wife. The two of us will go to Bishui Forest together. No matter whether we succeed or not, we will escape immediately."

Ye Jingtang felt that without any worries, he and Bing Tuo Tuo had a high chance of success, so he nodded immediately.

"Chi chi chi..."

Niaoniao was called greedy by the shop owner just now, so she was unusually reserved. She squatted at the feet of the two of them, and did not open the oil paper bag herself. Instead, she rubbed her head against Sister Bingtuotuo's calf to remind her that it was time to feed her. .

Seeing this, Xue Baijin put down his umbrella, opened the oil paper bag, placed it on the window sill behind, and let the bird eat the rabbit head by himself, while raising his hand to stroke the white feathers.

Ye Jingtang watched Niaoniao shaking his head as he ate, shaking his head secretly in his heart, and then turned his attention to Bingtuotuo next to him.

Xue Baijin's dress has always been simple. Not to mention earrings and bracelets, she doesn't even have a hairpin. She just uses a hairband to tie her hair back and doesn't wear makeup. But she is naturally beautiful, with long eyelashes and a high bridge of nose, and her skin is surprisingly tender...

Ye Jingtang had just observed Bing Tuo Tuo standing in front of him for a moment, and glanced over here from the corner of his eye. A dangerous aura flashed through his already aggressive fox eyes.

"cough……"

Ye Jingtang just looked at it casually, and found that Bing Tuotuo had noticed it, and quickly moved his eyes elsewhere, pretending to observe the movement around him.

snort……

Xue Baijin didn't care about this small detail. After touching the bird twice, he saw a colorful rope on Ye Jingtang's wrist and asked:

"Which confidante gave this to me?"

Ye Jingtang looked down, smiled, raised his wrist, and took off the colorful rope:

"I was looking for information on the street just now. I bought it for five cents and forgot to take it off. Where did I get so many confidante?"

Xue Baijin didn't believe it at all: "Even in this foreign country, I have a confidante who can protect me. I'm afraid I have countless friends in private. What's the use of explaining to me? You should explain to Ning'er."

"well……"

Ye Jingtang shook his head helplessly, and was thinking about how to explain that he was not a playboy, when he suddenly heard the bell ringing from the Imperial Academy:

Boom~

Boom~

…

Ye Jingtang knew that school was over, so he stopped talking nonsense, handed the colorful rope to Xue Baijin, and picked up the oil-paper umbrella:

"I'm going over. You go back and make arrangements first, and let Ning'er and the others get ready."

Before Xue Baijin had time to respond, Ye Jingtang had already run towards the big archway.

She looked at the colorful rope in her hand and thought it was given to her by the Night Terror Hall, so she wanted to throw it away.

But if Ye Jingtang just asked her to hold it for him and came back later to ask for it, she would lose it and it would be inappropriate. She cheered up a little and finally put it into her sleeves first and left the street with the bird...

——

Gulu gulu~

As the bell rang, countless students walked out of the school building one after another, holding oil-paper umbrellas and returning to their dormitories or residences in the city.

Hua Qingzhi didn't sleep well last night. She took an unprecedented nap during class today. Although she was not scolded by her master, she felt very embarrassed. She was pushed towards the door by Lu Zhu, with her head lowered along the way. She was embarrassed to talk to him. Say hello to classmates.

When the wheelchair was pushed halfway, Lvzhu behind him saw Ye Jingtang walking quickly with an umbrella, and quickly raised his hand to say hello.

Hua Qingzhi's eyes panicked without any surprise, and she began to look around again, looking like she was looking for something to block herself.

Ye Jingtang came to the front holding an umbrella, took the wheelchair, and pushed it towards the big archway. When he reached a quiet place, he said:

"I may really have to leave in two days, so I want to say hello to you in advance."

"Um?"

Hua Qingzhi was originally embarrassed, but when she heard these words, her eyes moved, her lips pursed, she looked back at Ye Jingtang, and then turned her face back:

"You...you should have left yesterday."

"Oh, I didn't finish my work yesterday. Don't worry, I will definitely come over soon..."

"What am I worried about? Whether you come or not has nothing to do with me..."

Hua Qingzhi went crazy and kissed Ye Jingtang last night. In embarrassment, she even spoke with a sense of distance.

But after chatting with each other for a few words, after a few steps, the same feeling of emptiness as last night came to my heart.

Seeing that Ye Jingtang didn't know what to say, Hua Qingzhi hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Yesterday was an accident, don't take it to heart. However, dad regards you as a confidant. If you have the opportunity in the future, you should visit more often, otherwise dad may be lost for many years..."

Ye Jingtang smiled: "It's natural. When the world is peaceful in the future, I will take Uncle Hua to visit the Southern Dynasty to see if I can visit the old swordsman Sun Wuji. Uncle Hua will definitely be happy."

Hua Qingzhi naturally knows that her father will be happy, but when the world is at peace, Beiliang will probably be destroyed. I am afraid that like Lv Zhu said, she will have to commit herself to the enemy's coach to keep her family in peace...

Feeling that her thoughts were a little off track, Hua Qingzhi quickly brushed away the distracting thoughts and asked again:

"When are you ready to leave?"

"Yunli and the others have to escape tonight and go to Chengtian Mansion to settle down. I have to wait for a day and follow the procedure to ask for leave to go back to my hometown to visit relatives, so as not to cause trouble to Washington..."

When Hua Qingzhi heard that she was going to Chengtian Mansion, her eyes moved and she turned around and said:

"I fell asleep during the lecture today. The master asked me if I felt uncomfortable, and I said a little. How about I ask my father to take a leave of absence and say that I am not in good health and cannot return to school, so I have to go back to Chengtian Mansion to recuperate for a while, so Just enough to be able to go back with the escort maid justifiably. Dad stayed in the capital, and he will not arouse the suspicion of the court..."

Ye Jingtang knew that it was the most reasonable thing to leave, but he still said:

"Yunli and the others are good at martial arts. It's easy to sneak out of the city. I've been bothering you for so long..."

"Is there any trouble in this? It has a beginning and an end. Otherwise, there are suddenly two maidservants missing from the house, and it would be difficult to explain to the other servants."

Seeing this, Ye Jingtang didn't want to say anything more, so he smiled and said:

"Thanks for that."

"Oh, it's just a small effort, what's there to thank you for..."

Hua Qingzhi was sitting in a wheelchair. In her heart, she felt that there was no point in staying in the capital after leaving the Nightmare Hall. She might as well go back to her hometown to take good care of herself.

After a month or two like this, if Ye Jingtang comes again, she will soon be able to go to Beijing with her escort to study.

However, Hua Qingzhi couldn't figure out these messy thoughts, so she couldn't show them clearly. She just sat in the wheelchair and walked slowly, looking at the rain curtain outside the edge of the umbrella. The look in her eyes could only be said: "At this time, I can only When you return, you will be separated by thousands of mountains and rivers to describe...

The plot has not been smoothed out in the past two days, and the writing is a bit slow. I will make up for the chapter that I asked for leave in a few days or2!
