Chapter 61: The Depreciation of the Concubine: I
The horse's hooves were fast, and the houses around him were like phantoms in the shadows, and they had no time to take a closer look, and they were already far away. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Feiying leaned over the fast horse, he passed by the people, people could no longer see his face in the dark night, but he was still not satisfied with the whip in his hand waved away, and whipped the horse, so galloped all the way, and only slowed down when he reached the edge of the imperial city.
The defenders outside the imperial city saw him from afar, smiled and said hello, he nodded, and after riding into the imperial city, he did not dare to ride again, so he immediately turned over and dismounted, and led the horse to the stable on foot. The silent night behind him was crushed by the sound of horses' hooves coming from afar, and Feiying thought it was Xia Zihe chasing after him, and glanced back, but saw that it was a man in a light blue robe. -- The man came on horseback, stopped in front of the gate of the Imperial City, untied the sign on his waist, and handed it to the Imperial City Forbidden Army to check.
The guard who had just greeted Feiying just now just glanced at it, but he didn't take it, and said with a smile, "It's Xie Shilang's turn to be on duty again tonight." ”
The man nodded, and the lanterns hanging at both ends of the gate illuminated his face, his face lean, unsmiling. Seeing that the guards had finished checking, he took back the waist card and rode away again, he passed by Firefly, but in an instant he was gone. Feiying stared at the man's distant figure and asked casually, "Which one is this Xie Shilang?"
"He, a single name is a Yao character, female Tao Yao, Xie Yao, the newly appointed squire of the Ministry of War, I don't know. It's not surprising that I don't know, if it weren't for the fact that the brothers at the door saw him a few months ago, had a little misunderstanding, and almost arrested him, who would have thought that he would actually be a member of the military department, let alone notice that he would be able to sit in the position of the squire a few months later. ”
Unexpectedly, a voice suddenly appeared next to him to answer Feiying's question, Feiying turned his head, only to see a hanging figure dangling out of the shadows, and the voice with a bit of alcohol only smoked people's faces. - A man was leaning against the city wall in a helmet and armor, his face was flushed from drinking, and he winked at Firefly several times, obviously grinning with white teeth, but he didn't know if he was smiling. As I got closer, I suddenly smelled the spicy and fragrant smell of meat coming from him, and if you traced back to the source, you would find that the cause was the chicken leg he was holding in his right hand crossed on his chest. The chicken leg has been half gnawed, as if afraid of losing its allure, especially unwilling to show off its fat and fat shine under the lamp,
Feiying withdrew her gaze from the chicken legs, bowed to the man, and called "Brother Ye". When the man surnamed Ye heard this, he raised his hand holding the chicken leg and shook it, pretending to be dissatisfied, "Although one of you and I is outside the palace and the other is in the palace, we all have the same positions. It's good to call your brother more outside, just call him by name. Come on, come on, the brothers just set up a game, I got off to a good start, and I killed that red eye, which made others jealous......"
The man surnamed Ye raised the chicken leg in his hand and crossed his waist unhappily, "Who knew that he only won this in the end." ”
"It's a member of the military department again, and he can be a squire, and he is still young, so it must not be easy. ”
The man surnamed Ye just took a bite of the chicken leg, and was chewing it, and he didn't react to the topic of Feiying turning around, "What? Oh, that Xie Shilang, where can he come from, the Xie family has no one in Beijing, and there is nothing worthy of eminence in the local area, but it is said that he is very liked by Mu Shangshu of the Ministry of War." ”
Feiying just let out an "oh", and the man surnamed Ye said again, "Look at your red eyes, people who are related to the eight major clans still need to care if they have a background." If you sell well in front of the head of any clan and please a little favor, let alone the commander, it is estimated that the general's position can be sat on Ming'er. ”
Feiying didn't have time to say anything, but felt a heavy weight on his shoulders, and the man surnamed Ye had already stretched out an ape arm to stand on Feiying's shoulder, and said, "Let's go, there's nothing wrong right now, go with me to kill a game and extinguish their prestige." ”
"But I heard that something happened in the palace......
"No, even I heard that Concubine Jiang De was demoted, have you heard of the reason for being demoted...... Well, you just came back from outside the palace, and the news has just reached me, so it's strange that you know it. Eh, come over your ears, let me tell you, it's said to be related to the three princes......"
Firefly's body shook slightly in the night wind, and I heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the palace gate, and the sound of horses' hooves hurriedly staggered, and they didn't even stop at the city gate, and the two horses galloped away one after the other, and swept past Feifire's side like a gust of wind.
"Say Cao Cao Cao is here," the man surnamed Ye glanced at the two people who were far away in the night, and bit the chicken leg again, and then shouted to the guards at the door who were shouting in panic, "It's the third prince, it's okay, it's okay, let's go back." ”
The guards at the gate of the imperial city were willing to quiet down, but the man surnamed Ye found that the support of his arm was suddenly empty, and Feiying, who had just been held by his shoulder, had already walked forward and walked into the night to the inner palace.
"Eh, this man, kindly let him stay here to avoid the limelight, but he is still dead, and wants to go back to the burning house, eh, young man. The man surnamed Ye took another bite of the chicken leg and bit off the last piece of fat chicken skin and the meat under the skin, and the remaining chicken leg still had a lot of meat left, but he threw it away directly, attracting several wild cats to fight for hunger.
In the night, the palace lights quietly illuminate the surroundings. On the palace road, a horse had just run by, and before he could see the people on the horse, two horses that were obviously faster came after him, overtaking the first horse, leaving a vague shadow.
The person who was overtaken slowed down the speed of his horse, and the bright light illuminated the light blue robe on his body, which was none other than Xie Yao, the squire of the military department who had been talked about earlier. He looked in the direction of the two fast horses, and the avenue went straight ahead and unimpeded, leading straight to the palace. He watched from a distance as the two of them and the two horses went straight into the palace gate again, and then he turned his horse's head, did not continue to move forward, and turned on the path to the right at the intersection, and the army headquarters was in front.
He walked into the house, picked up a pen and was about to sign his name in the night book, but when he saw that it was quiet all around, there was no one in the door. He hesitated slightly, but the brush that had absorbed the ink did not hesitate to drip a drop of ink, and he shook it on the paper and was about to faint, so he had to add a few strokes to continue the ink into words, and then, he held a few scrolls on the table in his arms, and went straight out of the house and then out of the door. The old tree on the right side of the gate was old, and it could not grow a few leaves in the summer, and it stretched its desolate and cold branches in the night. Xie Yao passed under the tree, all the way straight forward, not the avenue just now, but in the end he also came to the same palace gate as the two fast horses that had overtaken him just now. Behind the palace gate, I saw that the palace was heavy, standing in the night, the palace forbidden army stood in the oblique long line of light and shadow, staggered the halberd in his hand, and asked who came in a cold voice.
