Volume 1 There is a Dragon Sparrow in Lin'an Chapter 8 The Pipa Strings Are Broken

The door creaked "Sorry to keep you waiting so long." The woman said apologetically, her long wet hair was draped behind her head, her slightly upturned hair was still dripping with water, and she was followed by a little girl, who looked a few years younger than Chu Longque, with a round and round face, holding a jet-black pipa slightly taller than her and following her.

From the first time she saw her, Chu Xianzhao knew that she had found the right person, she was wearing a peach-colored cloud robe, her bare feet were stepping on a pair of clogs, her nails were shining, her eyes were rolling, her lips were smiling, and the moment she came out of the house, she was constantly combing her hair, and the seductive fragrance penetrated into Chu Long's nose, making the tip of his nose itch constantly.

The little girl behind the woman put the pipa on the bluestone table and said, "Sister Yu, it's okay for you to be alone." ”

"Maybe it's a little boy who sneaks in to watch the excitement, let's see how Sister Yu scares him away. The woman bent down and whispered in the little girl's ear.

Chu Xianzhao can be said to have waited for an hour, just now the woman asked him what else he needed to serve, Chu Xianzhao secretly thought about the Qinglou This kind of place where a lot of money is spent, and in the morning he asked Pomegranate and Autumn Leaves to ask for a dozen taels of silver, maybe he can't see any special projects, and the woman told him that this fox Meizi's piano skills can be described as expressive, and how many children of the family do not hesitate to take out the silver in their pockets and want to listen to her song, which makes him feel shy in his pocket.

He casually asked for a pot of warm wine, a plate of pomegranates and snacks, those delicate snacks that could almost be eaten by his nose in three or two bites, but there were two pomegranates for him to peel for a long time, so as not to be too bored in the process of waiting, this woman also loves to be clean too much, washed for more than an hour, he thought to himself.

"Childe listened to me, and stayed away from that woman. The woman put Chu Xuanzhao's silver in her pocket, and said with a solemn look in her eyes.

"Why?" he was a little confused.

"Alas, don't blame me for being talkative, I've been here for more than ten years, what kind of woman has not been seen, but a ...... like her It's like the legendary ghost. ”

"Ghost Qian?"

"Over the years, there have been tens of thousands of men who have fallen under her skirts, and the most ardent suitors have often not come to a good end, either by the knife of their own wife, or by a passing carriage after coming out of her room, and she will have a blood rose in the hearts of those men who love her madness, and when she feels that this man is of no value to her, she will unleash the curse of the blood rose and let the man die......" she chattered.

He wiped his chin and looked at the woman in front of him, she was adjusting the lute in her hand, a strand of black hair was vertical on her shoulder, and from her almost transparent placket, he could see three sharp scratches looming on her shoulder.

"What tune does Childe want to hear?" she laughed, her eyes crooked, and her eyebrows, as light as Yuanyue, raised slightly.

"I'm not here to listen to tunes, I'm here to find you. He confessed.

"Oh?" she didn't seem surprised, her slender hand was on her knee and tapped gently, Chu Longque knew that she knew herself, and when he grabbed the woman's throat that night, the woman let out a painful choking sound, like a rabbit falling into a trap, but none of them seemed to want to break so quickly, just like listening to the sound of the dice colliding with each other in the dice jar, waiting for whoever opened the jar first.

"Stupid! you know how many people can't wait to listen to Sister Yu's tunes, you really don't know what to do!" The little girl beside the woman snorted, and the way she crossed her waist reminded him of her sister inexplicably.

"Little Hidden Son!" the woman scolded her.

"Sister Yu......" Her lips pursed and her eyes watery as she looked at her.

"Clean up the things on the table, then pour the water in the bath, see what work is not done outside, help Xiao Juanzi water the flowers, remember to clean up your room by the way, what socks, skirts are thrown everywhere, and you won't touch yourself, how can any man like you in the future!" she tapped her head, and the girl's face was red as if it was about to drip blood.

Chu Xianzhao played with the cup in his hand and smiled without saying a word.

The little maid was submissive, didn't dare to refute half a sentence, walked in front of Chu Xianzhao with red eyes, and put the peeled pomegranates and wine cups on the plate, the little girl looked at him with fierce eyes, it seemed that the boy in front of her was scolded by Sister Yu, and when she was about to turn around and leave, Chu Zhaozhao's voice came from behind her: "You missed a cup." ”

The little girl's shoulders trembled violently when she heard this, she turned around and picked up the cup, and then kicked Chu Xianzhao fiercely, "Little Yinzi!" The woman looked at her in surprise, but as if she wasn't ready to apologize, she picked up the plate and ran away.

"I'm sorry, but none of our girls here are very sensible. She rubbed her forehead helplessly.

"It's okay, she's a lot like my little cousin. He patted the footprints on his calf, took the handkerchief out of his arms, and pushed it in front of the woman: "This thing is yours, right?"

"Why bother asking me now that you've found me?" her fingertips swept over the lute, and the sound of the piano hummed in a low voice.

"Why did you assassinate His Majesty the Emperor?"

"There are many reasons to assassinate an emperor, but there is only one pair of hands holding a sword. She lowered her head and stroked the qin, her long eyelashes covering her eyes, it was only when Chu Longque discovered that her spring-like left hand was missing a tail finger, and she was surrounded by a white scarf, which made him feel a little more pity for the woman in front of him.

"Your companion is dead. Chu Xianzhao said lightly.

The woman still lowered her head, put her fingertips on the five strings of the pipa, only to see her lightly horizontal, the wisps of the piano sound seemed to be told into Chu Xianzhao's ears, the silver strings turned urgently, and pieces of autumn leaves fell into the pool, the waves were shocking, and a few koi in the pool wanted to be interesting, the autumn wind swept through the woman's big sleeves, and the long sleeves were embroidered with peach blossoms, and the relationship was long.

"Their corpses have been skinned and hollowed out, filled with hay, and placed in front of the yamen as a warning, and countless bounty orders have been posted in the city, and your remnants will not escape. ”

The sound of the piano was not interrupted by Chu Xianzhao's hints, the warm afternoon sun shrouded the woman in front of him, he still looked at her in front of him lightly, he never thought that a woman looked so good without makeup, after taking a bath, she just lightly traced the corners of her eyes, her face was crystal round, and she seemed to be able to pinch out water.

The sound of the piano in the woman's hand tends to be sad, as if in mourning, there seems to be pleading, a faint sadness envelops this small back garden, the elegant and pure charm is nothing in Chu Longque's eyes, he needs a woman to give him an attitude.

"The little girl who left just now, she is the next one to be placed in front of the yamen!"

The sound of the piano tightened in an instant, showing a tendency to struggle, but the music had already cracked, a muffled sound spread throughout the garden, the koi scattered away, the broken strings were dragged by the woman, and the blood dripped down the strings on the pipa, like two red beans, trembling slightly.

"I want to kill you!" the woman made no secret of the disgust in her tone.

"I know, but you can't do it, whether it's here or that night in the Autumn Wind Garden, I don't believe you try. Chu Xianzhao nodded, the Apocalypse Sword was unsheathed for half a minute, and the sword shadow swept over the woman's face, she hesitated for a moment, and finally lowered her head.

"Kill me, here it is!"

"I can't bear to turn such a beautiful garden into a place of execution. He waved his hand.

"Is that son pitying Nianyu's life?" she tilted her head to look at Chu Xianzhao, her neck so white and almost transparent that it had a slender and beautiful curve.

"Freedom!" Chu Longque slowly spat out a word.

"Freedom?"

"Why do you want to fight to the death? I just want to know who instructed you to assassinate the emperor, a woman like you should not be involved in these bloody struggles, as long as you name the mastermind of this assassination, I guarantee your safety as the prince and promise you freedom. He immediately made a condition that he thought a woman could not refuse.

"Nianyu is just a Qinglou woman, she can't ask for any freedom, she just wants three meals to eat, and it is enough to occasionally play the piano in the yard. She smiled and said.

"Yes, play the piano...... Your hands are beautiful, and it's better to play the piano than to hold a sword!" he stressed.

"But His Royal Highness, the reason why Nianyu can play the piano in this warm building is that my sword is held relatively steadily, if the sword heart is lost, how can I talk about the music?" she asked rhetorically.

"Do you have to hold a sword?" he thought the woman was really unaware.

"It is a great honor for me to be able to serve His Royal Highness the Prince, but His Royal Highness, have you ever thought about such a question-"

"Does His Royal Highness think that there is really absolute freedom in this world? I'm just a Qinglou Qinji, I'm nothing without here, what does it mean to me to be free or not?And even if I tell you what, can you kill them all? Even if you capture and kill them all, new assassins will continue to appear, how are you going to kill them?" her series of questions made Instant Zhao a little speechless.

This is really a problem, but it is not a problem for the simple Chu Xuanzhao: "Then I will catch them all and behead them to show the public, so as to show my law of Dayin." ”

"What a kid. She pursed her lips.

"Tell me who your mastermind is!" Chu Xianzhao suddenly felt a little annoyed, and clenched the sword in his hand.

"No, sue, sue, you. She slowly approached Chu Xuanzhao, and the tempting body fragrance on her body was mixed with the smell of clear water, which made his head a little hot.

"Believe it or not, I put that little maid of yours—"

"Don't believe it!" she interrupted him decisively, "you are not such a person, from the moment you were willing to negotiate terms with me, it was doomed that you would not do those things...... You are a gentle person, but it is easy to expose yourself. ”

Chu Xianzhao felt his nasal cavity hot, blood splashing onto his clothes, this cunning woman had seen through him from the beginning, trying to pull him into his trap, he came in the cloak of His Royal Highness the Prince, hoping to intimidate this woman, but under her gaze like a naked child, he looked at the end.

"Yo, you have a nosebleed, my sister will help you wipe it. The handkerchief on the table just now helped Chu instantly twist away the nosebleed, she laughed, but the technique was still very gentle, like a dragonfly dotting water, "Fortunately, there is no drooling." ”

Chu Longque trembled with anger, and he reached out and pushed, "Don't touch me with a dirty woman like you—"

The woman was stunned for a moment, put the handkerchief back into her big sleeve, and coldly watched the embarrassed Royal Highness the Prince in front of her wipe her nosebleed with her sleeve, her eyes fierce like a child.

"It's not too early, Childe, please go back. She changed her smiling mask again, picked up the pipa and was about to leave, but her sleeve was pulled by Chu Longque: "Tell me who your mastermind is!"

"You kid is so shameless. She pulled her sleeves desperately, trying to break free of Chu Xuanzhao's hand, "Don't call me child, I'm sixteen years old, and I can already go to the street with a sword!" Chu Longque said angrily.

"Shhh

"You-" Chu Xianzhao was just about to say something, but he was hit hard by something his back, and the Dragon Sparrow Sword fell to the ground with a "snap", and he bent over in pain, but more knocks came like a torrential rain.

"Catch the hooligans!" In Chu Xianzhao's last vision, the little girl who had just left shouted behind him waving a burning stick as thick as a calf, and the woman kneeling in front of him seemed to cover her face and sob, but Chu Xianzhao knew that she was laughing and laughing happily.
