Chapter 55: The Farce in the Mansion

It's the beginning of spring, and the wind in the air is finally getting some warmth. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Although he is in the ancient city, the scenery is unique and the ancient charm is full, but Liu Shuangli has no interest.

Because Liu Shuangli has always been the best thing about nature, not humanities. What's more, there are still too many things in her heart now, so she has no intention of watching the scenery anymore.

was dismissed by the guards at the gate, and Liu Shuangli walked back to the narrow alley.

By this time it was already dark and night was falling. Liu Shuangli looked up at the sky, and then looked back at the official street at the end of the alley. At this moment, on the official street, there are seven or eight officials carrying red lanterns, carefully lighting the wind lanterns hanging on both sides of the street.

In the bright lights, one after another richly decorated carriages began to drive by, and they flowed into the deep mansions on both sides of the street.

Liu Shuangli, who was standing in the alley without lights, could no longer see what kind of people would get down from those luxurious carriages.

Compared with the bustle of Guanjie at night, the narrow lanes are more quiet.

Although the sudden sound was not loud, it startled Liu Shuangli, who was about to step out of the alleyway.

The sound came from inside the towering whitewashed walls, and when you heard it closely, it sounded like the crash of iron.

Liu Shuangli narrowed his eyes, a little puzzled.

According to the layout of the courtyard in this area, within the towering walls on both sides of this alley, it should be the deep mansion compound of a large official on the official street. The people living in these people's homes are either the lords of the government or the sons and daughters of the people, how can there be the sound of iron weapons colliding? This sound makes Liu Shuangli, who is often a martial arts practitioner, hear, how it sounds like weapons fighting each other. Could it be that the official master or the young lady of the official family here in Xi'an actually has the spirit of practicing martial arts?

Liu Shuangli stopped moving forward and stood in the alley, hesitating for a while. The sound of the clash of gold and iron coming from within the high walls finally aroused the curiosity in her heart little by little.

With another 'poof' sound, Liu Shuangli no longer hesitated, his feet were a little stronger, and he flew to the high wall in an instant, looking for the sound of gold and iron colliding.

Within the high walls is a compound of heavy houses, scattered with a few ancient cypress trees.

Liu Shuangli was afraid of being discovered, so he didn't dare to be careless, and walked along the sparsely lit wall, bypassing two empty and uninhabited courtyards, and for a while before he landed on the inner wall of a roof eaves on the left side of the courtyard that made a sound.

The lights here are brighter than in the courtyard where they jumped before. Liu Shuangli lay on the roof with half of his body, his hands carefully pressed on the cornices, poked out half of his head, like starlight flashing eyes, and looked curiously towards the courtyard that made a sound by the bright lights in the courtyard.

This is a small courtyard that is not too big, and it is estimated to be the size of the middle courtyard of Uncle He's house in Xuanhua.

But when I looked, I saw seven or eight people standing on the four sides of the courtyard at this time. Except for a few men dressed as domestic servants standing on the outermost side, the other three all held swords in their hands and watched the two people in the courtyard attentively.

In the middle of the small courtyard, there are two people who are also holding their own blades, feeding each other. The sound of gold and iron striking that Liu Shuangli heard outside the high wall was from them.

But look, the two people in the middle of the courtyard, one holding a sword and the other holding a spear, were comparing themselves to each other in a pattern. What kind of martial arts moves are compared, Liu Shuangli can't see it. Even so, she only took two closer looks, and then she knew that the two people in the middle were not in a formal competition, they were just practicing, and they were only practicing in the initial stage.

It seems that the two people in the center are only in their teens, although they are wearing men's military uniforms of the same color and style, but one of them has a double bun with sheep's horns and a slender figure, obviously a girl in men's clothes.

"Qi'er, your hands are lighter, don't be so heavy, be careful of hurting Qiong'er. ”

The speaker was a middle-aged man standing on the edge of the courtyard and wearing a yellow robe and brocade robe. Seeing that the middle-aged man's voice just fell, he was holding a spear in the circle, and his body was relatively thick, and he was obviously a young man, so he immediately stopped the move he had just waved, turned his head dissatisfied, and replied displeasedly: "Uncle Guo will only favor Qiong girl, my hand strength has been light enough, what else is going on, we are not practicing embroidery." ”

The girl holding the long sword also replied dissatisfiedly: "What kind of strength are you, what else can you do besides that brute force?" The Luoying swordsmanship taught by Uncle Guo, you can't use it until now." ”

"I use a gun, not a sword. The boy replied.

"Uncle Guo said, although it is called swordsmanship, but the guns and swords are all the same. If you can't practice, say you can't practice, stop making excuses. The girl said with a puff of air through her nostrils.

"What are you," the young man snorted coldly, "the swordsmanship used is to draw circles and empty shapes, and there is no strength at all, and this is called swordsmanship." It's really funny, Bai Ziwei will like to see such a swordsmanship!"

The girl turned her face and said angrily: "What are you talking about, I practice my swordsmanship, what does it have to do with Bai Gongzi." ”

The young man sighed and laughed softly: "Less, you have always been most afraid of using strength, but you suddenly want to learn swordsmanship from Uncle Guo, isn't it because you saw Bai Ziwei use a good swordsmanship, and said that you like bright and heroic girls." ”

"Youβ€”" the girl's face turned red at once, "You, don't talk nonsense, Iβ€”I just want to learn the sword, and it has nothing to do with anyone else." As he spoke, he turned to the middle-aged man in the yellow robe, and said coquettishly, "Uncle Guo, Uncle Duan, you look at the second brother, he always arranges people like this." ”

The middle-aged man who was called was not good at interfering in the affairs of young people, and he just responded to the girl's shyness with a smile.

As he was talking, he suddenly saw a girl rushing into the small courtyard, first saluted the middle-aged man and said hello, and then turned directly to the girl holding the sword and bowed and said, "Miss, Madame, it's not too early, please go back to the house as soon as possible." ”

When the girl heard this, she replied with a displeased face: "It's only too late, I still have to practice swords, and I won't return." ”

"Miss-" The girl was obviously a little embarrassed, and wanted to persuade her young lady again, but after hesitating for a moment, she turned to the young man with a spear in her hand, bowed and said, "Young Master Qi, the eldest lady has also come to ask you to return home as soon as possible." ”

"Got it," the young man said as he threw the spear in his hand at the man on the side, stretching his waist, "I'll change my clothes and go back." ”

"Second brother," the girl saw it, the long sword in her hand stood up, and pointed directly at the young man who was about to turn around and leave, "Luo Yingjian, you haven't finished practicing with me, don't go back." ”

"What is Luoying not Luoying, Young Master Ben won't play with you anymore, girl, you can find someone else." ”

As he spoke, the young man spread his hands, ignored the long sword in the girl's hand, and turned to leave.

"Don't go. The girl's heart was on fire, and she shouted, and she stepped forward and stabbed regardless of it, and the long sword in her hand slashed in the air, reaching the young man's back.

The boy didn't expect the girl to really stab, and without the slightest avoidance, he was stabbed by a long sword behind him. The people around the courtyard were so frightened that they screamed, and the middle-aged man in the yellow robe quickly swung out with a big knife in his hand, only to see a flash of cold light, and with a bang, the long sword in the girl's hand was knocked to the ground by the big knife.

"Qi'erβ€”"

"Young Master Qiβ€”"

The crowd screamed and hurriedly surrounded the cage, but the girl closest screamed and almost fainted to the ground.

But seeing the young man who fell down quickly in the shouting, his originally white back was dyed bright red little by little.

"Second brother, I-I'm not-no-" The girl screamed and trembled uncontrollably, and she was about to collapse when she couldn't hide her face with her hands. Fortunately, the girl who came back from the fright on the side hurriedly reached out to hold on, and the girl didn't really fall to the ground.

The chaos made Liu Shuangli lying on the eaves of the roof dumbfounded, she didn't expect that she would see such a mess in everyone's house just out of curiosity.

In the not-so-bright moonlight, the lights flickered in the courtyard.

The young man in the mouth of the crowd was quickly picked up and taken away for treatment. Liu Shuangli, who was hidden on the roof, was not easy to look at as an outsider, that is, he was in a hurry in the chaos and unknowingly, and jumped out of the high wall again, returning to the narrow alley when he first came.

At this time, the moon has risen, and although it is not bright, it can also distinguish a few feet.

Liu Shuangli returned to the alley, and just two steps away, she suddenly saw a black shadow flashing around the corner in front of her, as if someone had flown into the house she had just left.

Liu Shuangxuan was surprised, and he didn't know what was going on, when he suddenly felt that the wind in front of him was different, so he didn't think about it in a hurry, turned around, and avoided the corner wall of the alley.

It's not an alley that leads to the end, there is a turn in the middle, and at the same time, because the moonlight is not bright, it is not easy to be detected if it is far away. Liu Shuangli was lucky not to be found hiding here.

"The chaos in the Guo Mansion is really an unexpected good thing. An excited male voice whispered from the front of the alley.

"How now?" asked another male in a low voice.

"The sixth child has already gone in to investigate, and I will talk about it when he comes back. A deep male voice replied.

"Listening to the board reply, the second young master of the political envoy's family was injured today. Another male voice said.

"The second young master of the political envoy's family, hehe, Master Guo can afford a lot of responsibility this time. Someone scoffed.

"Guo Ji is a classmate of the political envoy, and he has saved his life, no matter how big the relationship is, it will not be difficult for him. Someone calmly analyzed.

"It doesn't matter what he is Master Guo, what we want is not him Guo Ji. Someone snorted.

But Duan Wensheng has him to protect him. ”

"Damn, if you don't kill Duan Wensheng to avenge the helper, let's swear not to be human. ”

"Yes, I swear not to be a man!"

…………

Curses swore that the flames of anger were not diminished by the deliberately muffled voice.

Liu Shuangli squatted at the corner of the alley, stunned for a moment when he heard it, and he didn't dare to catch his breath.

Listen, there were at least five or six middle-aged men in front of the alley. With such an irritable tone, Liu Shuangli didn't dare to worry.

And guessing from what she heard, could it be that the young master she accidentally saw in that mansion that was stabbed by her own sister was the second young master of the political envoy's family?

What Guo Ji, what Duan Wensheng? Who is this? What did he do?

What else is there to avenge the helper, is there any murder in this ancient city of Xi'an?

The whispered curse in front of the alley finally gradually went out, and Liu Shuangli waited silently until she could not hear a sound anymore, she dared to walk out of the hiding place, and slowly paced away from the too narrow alley. (To be continued.) )
