Chapter 19: The Downpour of Rain (1)
That night, the palace gate, which had been closed for several days, was opened, and a group of forbidden troops with torches marched towards the various prefectures in Beijing, and the people on the street watched in amazement as the figures of these people flashed on the street, and then quickly disappeared, only to feel that it was a hazy illusion of the night. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Su Lan nestled on the pear blossom wood chair in the main hall of the garden, the room was full of the smell of freshly brewed pear blossom white, she was still wearing a green robe in the daytime, with a plain coat on her shoulders, her legs were on the table, the smile on her lips rose, and the whole person looked extremely casual and demonic.
What she was looking at in her hand was the newspaper sent by the palace. The emperor will reopen the imperial pen at the court meeting tomorrow, so he informed the officials above the fifth grade in Beijing overnight that such a formation should be a great dynasty.
"You didn't get the letter first for such an important matter?" Su Lan's expression was as usual, but Li Qing, who was kneeling on the ground, was already sweating profusely.
"It's not good for my subordinates. ”
"Get up. Su Lan glanced at him, "It's like the real thing." Do you really think I'm not going to have a seizure of you?"
Li Qingden changed his face with a hippie smile, and said with a smile: "You and I are also childhood sweethearts, where can I give up?"
Su Lan lifted her eyelids and glanced at him again, with a look of disgust, and said: "This matter is also a reminder, there is not enough manpower in the palace, if you are really caught off guard, maybe something will really go wrong." ”
"Master. Li Qing stood up, her delicate baby face rarely matured because of thought, "Look, how about we use the old man's subordinates?"
"You go and talk to Uncle Yu by yourself. Su Lan didn't say yes, "I don't have that much face." ”
"Fortunately, our staff is ready early in the morning, and Ming'er can give them a big gift as scheduled. Li Qing straightened his face, "It's time for the Kang family to appear." ”
The sky was still hazy, and suddenly there were a few thunders, and when the rooster crowed, the first sparse spring rain was also bigger, and it gradually had a surging trend.
The front yard of the Su family was a busy scene, but there was no sound, and the servants in the robes held umbrellas and followed the three of them with their ancestors and grandchildren, and after seven entrances through the hall, they arrived at the front yard to board the car. Su Lan glanced at Li Yuan, who was holding an umbrella beside her, and saw that he was almost completely wet, so she said, "You are following me today, if you are not in the way, go back and change your clothes." ”
Li Yuan only shook his head, looking at Su Lan with the same persistence and silence in his eyes, and he was a little more worried at the moment.
"Yes, people often have an eventful time. Su Lan sighed, "But I feel that this kind of weather is the time to do big things." It's a good weather to kill. ”
Li Yuan only nodded, and then held up the twenty-four oil-paper umbrellas, protected Su Lan's head, and sent her to the carriage.
The carriage of the Su family was huge, and when it drove out of Chang'an Street, it splashed all the way. Out of Chang'an Street, it is known as the first street of Chu State, Dongshi Street, at this time the shops on the street have not yet opened, but it is rare to be quiet. The forbidden army and Jingzhao Yin Yamen in front of Jingjie did not sound their whips, but only walked in front, leading the chariots and horses of the Ninth Family to line up on this long street, separated by guards and about twenty paces between each other, and occasionally drove towards Miyagi together, rushing towards Miyagi.
In the carriage in advance, Su Lan closed her eyes and leaned against the small table, but her hands were unconsciously clenched white.
Suddenly, there was a loud shout from this dead street: "What person!" followed by a stack of "there are assassins", "there are assassins", Su Lan's eyes immediately opened, revealing an extremely cold gaze, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door of the carriage, and looked back. I saw a man covered in blood, stumbling towards Li's carriage, but was restrained by the forbidden army, and several people behind him had fallen to the ground, poured by the rain, and blood red all over the street.
Li Yuan's voice came in from outside, and he shouted loudly: "What are you panicking about?" The people who opened the road today were all forbidden troops, and when they heard the shouts of Li Yuan, the six-rank captain, they also calmed down, and followed his command to surround the frame of the Li family. Li Yuan rushed forward and kicked the man's knee directly, stomping his head to the ground and twisting it a few times in the muddy water.
Su Lan's hand here was already holding the door frame tightly, Su Jin's eyes flashed, and he said slowly: "You go down and see what the situation is in front of you, and then order someone to go to the palace to report, if not, close the street first." ”
When Su Lan heard this, she couldn't help but look back at Su Jin's expression, and seeing that Su Jin had no other expression, she was also reassured, and she didn't even wear a big coat, waved away the coachman who was about to hold an umbrella for her, and got out of the car with an umbrella herself.
The Su family's frame is the first place, and it is really some distance from the Li family's frame, Su Lan is walking quickly at the moment, regardless of the torrential rain brought by the footsteps, and his body is already soaked. A cold voice came from behind, and said: "You are at odds with the Li family, and you have always been a noble person who can't stand a single grievance, so eager at this moment, is it possible to gloat?"
Su Lan's footsteps were stagnant at the moment, and she turned her head to look at the person from under the oil-paper umbrella of the pure white painted landscape, the rain was already foggy, it seemed to be a cloud of smoke, and the person could only be seen in the water vapor was quite tall, and he was standing under the cyan umbrella in a black coat, his face was completely gone, but she knew that this was Xuanxi.
Su Lan then stood still, and Xuanxi walked forward slowly, in this street soaked in blood, it was called the leisure of walking and being a car.
Xuan Xi's gait seemed to be slow, but he walked to Su Lan's side in just a few steps. Su Lan leaned the umbrella back slightly, looked up at Xuan Xi, Xuan Xi lowered his eyes, lowered his head slightly, and brushed the rain on Su Lan's shoulder. Su Lan waited for him to say something, but Xuan Xi just smiled and said, "Your official uniform is soaked, will you go to the court like this in a while?"
After speaking, Xuan Xi lowered the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and walked forward, his steps were very large, but Da Yu did not move at all, Su Lan was a little stunned by his sudden movement, but he also strode behind him.
At this time, Li You had already gotten out of the car, and behind him was Li Chenghao personally holding an umbrella for him, the person who was held down by Li Yuan, at the moment shouting vague words in his mouth, and in the alleys on both sides of Dongshi Street, there was also the sound of assassins being strangled by the forbidden army from time to time.
"Ah Yuan, let him go. Su Lan inadvertently swept over Li Qing, who appeared next to the Li family's frame at some point, and didn't look at Li You's expression, and said directly to Li Yuan.
Xuanxi slowly approached the front with an umbrella and said to Li Yuan: "Go and report to the palace and ask the forbidden army to open the way." ”
Li Yuan then let go of his foot, and immediately two more forbidden soldiers set up the man, only to see that his chest was already a blood-red and terrifying.
The man shouted, his eyes were already blood-red, and he stared straight at Li You, although Li You had been through a hundred formations, he was also shocked by that vision, and Li Chenghao behind him couldn't help but take a few steps back.
"If I don't do anything else today, I'm going to take the head of this Li family's father and son!" The man's voice was extremely hoarse, "Why did the forbidden army stop me!"
"You assassinated the head of the Li family, and the forbidden army still didn't stop you?" At this moment of tension, Xuan Xi actually laughed out loud.
"What's wrong with the Li family's father and son?" Su Lan saw that Li You was about to open his mouth to let people gag him, and where could he give him a chance, "Do you know that assassinating the head of the family is the sin of the Jiu Clan!"
"Li You, you ordered my men to assassinate Jiang Yuan in Jingzhaoyin Prison with a lot of money, and after I failed, I didn't care about it, and let Zheng Duo catch my men, I begged you to save me several times, but not only did you not save me, but you also wanted to kill my mouth!" The man was obviously determined to die, and although his words were angry, his thoughts were clear, "If I hadn't robbed the prison and wasn't at home, I'm afraid I'd be dead at this moment! Pity my family, slaughtered by you! You brute!"
"Shut up!" Li Chenghao yelled, but it was too late, the man had already finished saying everything. Here, Su Lan looked at Li Chenghao with a frosty face, and said, "Li Gongzi, this is a thief." ”
After Li Chenghao heard this, he directly pulled out the sword on his waist, and he wanted to stab the man to death. There was a crisp sound of "ding", and it was the tip of the sword that hit the handle of Su Lan's fan, and the white jade fan was rushed like this, but there was not even a trace of crack.
"Li Gongzi, this person is now under the control of the forbidden army, so I can't help you to come here. Su Lan smiled slightly, her eyes fell to the side, and Li Qing's figure was gone.
"Cheng Hao. Li You shouted, Li Chenghao felt that something was wrong, lost his sword in a daze, and took a few steps back, with a look of resentment.
"I don't put the umbrella on the two of you yet. Xuanxi Fangcai was always gloomy and his face was silent, and he looked up at Li Chenghao at this moment, with a warning look in his eyes, the two of them were in the East Palace, and they had always had a lot of personal relationships, and this kind of look still made Li Chenghao's mind sober for a moment. He has always been a gentle and elegant noble son in Beijing, with a gentle temper and no hurry, no matter what his methods are in private, he always looks like a humble gentleman on stage, Fang Cai is really a big gaffe, but it really seems to be sitting on the words of the assassin.
"The stakes are high. Su Lan glanced at Xuanxi, as if she was very jealous of him, "Shibo, my grandfather is the supreme person present, and he should be informed that it is up to him to decide, and I will take this person away first, offended." ”
With Li You's sentence of "Wait", the assassin's strength out of nowhere broke free from the clamps of the two forbidden armies and rushed straight at Li You.
Suddenly, blood paved the surface, and with a "bang", the long sword fell to the ground. On the other side of Dongshi Street, Jing Zhaoyin's voice sounded: "Grandpa Guo, it's too late for the next official." It's really a big mess on Jing Zhaoyin's side......"
Su Lan looked at Xuanxi through the blood, and her lips trembled faintly, like the rhythm of raindrops hitting the ground.
