Afternoon. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It's still early in dusk.

The heavy snow stopped for a while.

The winter sun is precious, bringing a little warmth that is better than nothing, and through the window lattice, it sprinkles a broken light.

The maidservant carefully added tea.

The servants who sang the piano were dressed in a luxurious and luxurious manner—a stone blue gauze with peony embroidery, a red satin cloud-shaped thousand-water skirt, and a gold-threaded Qiluo silk robe.

The appearance is gorgeous, and the voice is like a yellow warbler.

The distinguished guest sitting by the window was dressed in a minimalist attire, wearing a narrow colored robe, and he looked tall and thin.

This person is about thirty-seven or eighteen years old, his eyebrows are as thick as ink, a pair of slender Ruifeng eyes, and the tails of his eyes are slightly upturned, as if he is smiling, but it is also incomprehensible.

At this moment, he was carefully flipping through the latest issue of "Bianjing Magazine", and Ye Mingcheng, who accompanied him, had no choice but to accompany him silently.

"Song Guozhen is a talented person!"

After a long time, the man covered his roll and sighed: "The rise in prices is so related to the lack of money, this article is simple and clearly explained." ”

He lamented again: "It's a pity that I was a few days late, otherwise I would have heard and witnessed this 'lecture' in person, but it's a pity, it's a pity!"

Ye Mingcheng replied with a smile: "The day after tomorrow, the "Bianjing Magazine" will hold a debate competition in the Babao Teahouse, and Ye has already ordered someone to buy the ticket for the chief, so Lord Xiao will not miss it this time. ”

The "Lord Xiao" in front of him was the envoy sent by the Liao State - the privy deputy envoy of the Southern Council of the Liao State, Xiao Yixiu.

Xiao Yixiu gently flicked the lid on the cup in his hand, skimmed away the tea foam, lowered his eyes, and couldn't hear what kind of emotion he was in his tone: "Then I thanked Master Ye for this seat." ”

Taking a sip of tea, he said leisurely: "This seat is both late and early." ”

"Why did Lord Xiao say this?"

"I love to eat carp, but it's a pity that in the middle of winter, I can't eat it in Bianjing. ”

Ye Mingcheng smiled very meaningfully: "If Lord Xiao comes back after the beginning of spring, you can also enjoy the wonderful scenery of eagle fishing." ”

"Oriole?"

"A fierce bird that loves to eat carp. ”

"Ha," Xiao Yixiu raised her eyebrows and smiled with interest: "Interesting, interesting!"

After a pause, he sat up straight and asked, "Du ......"

As soon as he said a word, he was interrupted by Ye Mingcheng: "The azaleas also bloomed at that time." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at the servant not far away without a trace, and scratched his hair slightly, but his fingers pointed secretly behind him.

Standing behind him was Guan Linshu, a member of the Ministry of Rites.

Xiao Yixiu understood and drank the tea quietly.

For a while, only the sound of the piano and singing in the room remained.

The servant was singing, and suddenly a white light flashed in front of him. Before she could come to her senses, she couldn't come back to her senses again.

Lose one's head.

The head detached from her body, rolled down to the lyre in front of her, and then to the ground.

Blood splattered all over the walls. On the head of the servant, the apricot eyes were as big as silver bells, the eyelashes seemed to be moving, and the mouth was slightly open, as if there was nothing to say......

Ye Mingcheng pretended to be frightened, slumped in his seat, pointed to the head on the ground, and asked tremblingly, "Xiao, Lord Xiao...... This, this is ......?"

"This person is from Tianji Mansion. ”

Xiao Yixiu put the sword in his hand back into the sheath and replied coldly.

Tianji Mansion is an institution similar to the Imperial City Division of the Liao State.

"Tianji Mansion?"

Ye Mingcheng's tone was incredulous.

Guan Linshu frowned, and asked puzzledly: "This servant is not unusual, how did Lord Xiao find out that she was a fine work of Tianji Mansion?"

Xiao Yixiu turned his head to look at him, his eyes were piercing and sharp: "What are you asking so much?"

Guan Linshu's pupils shrank, but he quickly calmed down: "Xia Guan is just curious...... Don't be surprised. ”

"Hmph," Xiao Yixiu naturally didn't believe his words: "The curiosity is so strong, but it's the same as the people in Tianji Mansion......" said, he joked playfully: "However, you are an official of the Song Kingdom, how can you be a person from Tianji Mansion?"

"Lord Xiao Mingjian!

The corners of Guan Linshu's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he was too busy to answer.

But Xiao Yixiu's words were still half-left: "You are more like a person from the Imperial City Division." ”
