Chapter Seventy-Two: Covering Up
The three of them followed behind and slowly followed to the window, holding their breath and standing still.
There was a noise inside, like the sound of clothes, and after about half an hour, the sound gradually became quieter, and after a while, there was a faint sound of breathing.
Ding Lingling quietly pulled Gu Zhirong, and saw a smile on the corner of her mouth under the hazy moonlight: "I'll see Rong'er later." ”
Gu Zhirong nodded, tiptoed out of the window, she stood under a luxuriant locust tree next to her, looked at the half-open window of Shen Ergou's house, judged the direction of the wind, and then untied a "sachet" from her body, cut a hole in each of the four corners on the side, and then quickly walked back and gave Ding Lingling and Cai Qing a silk handkerchief. The three of them put silk over their faces and covered their noses. In a short time, a wind blew, rustling the leaves and swaying the delicate branches. About half an hour later, the wind died down, and the room was silent, and it seemed that even the sound of breathing could not be heard.
Gu Zhirong nodded at Ding Lingling: "It's okay." ”
Ding Lingling jumped up from the window and jumped into the house with agility, silently like a cat, and like a fallen leaf blown into the window by the wind, and disappeared in an instant.
Cai Qing's eyes widened at the sight. The official disciples of the Jokhang Kingdom learned martial arts since childhood, riding horses and archery, which was a rule set by the founding emperor, and there was also a custom of hunting every year. It's like the Yuanning Marquis Mansion, several sons and brothers have also studied with martial artists since childhood, and all of them are still good. But tonight, after seeing Ding Lingling's skills, she suddenly felt that what her martial arts master taught was just some fancy fists and embroidered feet, which was not at all one-tenth of the woman in front of her.
Cai Qingzheng was wandering, and suddenly felt a flower in front of him, like a leaf floating out of the window, Ding Lingling jumped out lightly, and clapped his hands easily: "It's done, let's go." ”
Gu Zhirong gestured: "Two?"
Ding Lingling nodded with a low smile: "It's two, tied like a brown seed." I threw them both at the entrance of the village, where people came and went during the day, and I could see them at dawn. ”
Cai Qing's eyes widened again: "Miss Ding, just that kung fu just now, you threw people at the entrance of the village, why didn't I see it?"
Gu Zhirong patted Cai Qing's head: "Sister Ding's ability is great, you just can't stop asking questions about 100,000 whys, it's not early, let's go quickly, we will be discovered if it's late." ”
So the three of them didn't delay any longer, sneaked back into the carriage, waved the whip lightly, and drove the carriage out of Bitan Village and headed towards the capital.
When I was about to arrive at the Hanging Ji Temple, there was a small accident, and I actually ran into the soldiers patrolling the city.
Due to the recent cases of missing women in the suburbs of the city, the people are panicked, and their families are closed as soon as it gets dark, and they dare not go out. This matter reached the ears of the emperor, and the emperor was furious and strictly ordered Shuntianfu to investigate the matter thoroughly. Shuntianfu dared to be lazy, and immediately sent all the officials out, divided into several shifts, and patrolled day and night. It's just that these officers and men don't have any sudden cases on weekdays, they have grown fat heads and big ears, and their inertia has come out, and now these patrols day and night are unspeakably miserable. No, when they were yawning and listless, they suddenly saw the carriage of Gu Zhirong and others suddenly coming out of the sky.
These officials did not do much on weekdays, but they often did things that oppressed their neighbors and molested women. Now seeing this lonely carriage that suddenly appeared, I knew that at least a small family jasper was sitting in it when I looked at the decoration of the carriage. The group of them were so bored that they became playful, and gathered around the carriage, laughing and asking the people in the carriage to get out of the carriage and check it.
Ding Lingling was furious, and said hatefully: "The official at the foot of the Son of Heaven is so virtuous!" The dart in his hand was about to be shot. Gu Zhirong hurriedly stopped her, shook his head and said, "Sister Ding, this place is not suitable for a long time. Besides, these are people in the government, and hurting them will cause endless trouble, just get rid of them. Well, let me do it. Just catch the car, remember, go straight to the Hanging Temple. ”
She stretched out a hand and leaned out of the window, and suddenly scattered the powder wrapped in a handkerchief outward, and at the same time, Ding Lingling waved the whip violently, and the horse neighed, raised its hooves and kicked down the officials in front of it, and rushed out.
A few were kicked down by horses, and a few were put down by fans, and the remaining half of the servants were used to being powerful.
Gu Zhirong and the others didn't dare to stay, and rushed into the Hanging Ji Temple. The nearly ten officials panted and chased to the door of the Hanging Ji Temple, but there was no trace of Gu Zhirong and the others, so they actually surrounded the Hanging Ji Temple, and sent someone to report to the Shuntian Mansion, saying that the Hanging Ji Temple was harboring fugitives.
At this time, the fifth watch has not yet arrived, and the night has gradually receded, but the sky is not yet bright, and it is gray. The temple had obviously been alarmed, and the heavy temple door was opened, but the person who came out was not the abbot of the temple, Master Mingkong, but a young man dressed in a gorgeous costume and wearing a silver mask.
One of the officials was a head catcher, called Shi Daqian, who held his head high arrogantly, and didn't even look at the man in a fancy costume and mask: "Who are you? Don't get in the way of handling the case." You go in and call the abbot out to the uncle. If you come out late, Uncle Ben will punish you for harboring a fugitive!"
"Cure me?" the man in the Chinese costume mask snorted coldly, and opened it with a "snap" with a white-faced fan in his hand, and glanced at him, "I don't think you are qualified enough, right?"
Shi Daqian was furious: "What an arrogant person, he actually obstructed the tolerance of handling cases, and he was impatient, right?" said and took out the chain to lock the man in the fancy costume mask.
Qin Lu on the side shouted angrily: "Bold, you are blind, and you don't want to see who our son is?"
The jade plaque is inlaid with gold and jade, and the totem on it is shocking.
Shi Daqian and the rest of the group had already been frightened to the point of urine, their feet and necks were weak, they knelt on the ground "plopped", kowtowed "knock" and said, "The little one has eyes and no beads, talks nonsense, and offends ......"
The man in the costume mask waved his fan: "Well, since you are on official business and your responsibilities are, I will not pursue it." I asked her to go out to do some errands, but when she came back, she bumped into you, and she reported to me in order to rush back, and she didn't care to explain to you. It's also a misunderstanding, and you're also waiting for official business, so I won't pursue it, so let's disperse. ”
Since the boy in the Chinese costume mask opened up on the net, Shi Daqian and the others dared to say anything, and said several things like "lowly and unsightly, and offended", and quickly fled away.
As soon as the prince in the costume mask put away the fan, he smiled slightly, and heard a faint voice coming from the side of the temple gate behind him: "Dare to ask this son, how did we become the maidservants of the son?"
He turned his head and saw a woman standing on the edge of the temple gate dressed in moonlight, her face was beautiful and calm, but her big dark and bright eyes were full of judgment and inquiry.
