Chapter 11 Entering the Tiger's Den Alone Occasionally Shocking Secrets
Frightened dreams, when it is sunny, the sound is not as good as home. This day is just the middle of the day, Kong Wanqiu came to the place where she had made an appointment with He Xuxing a few days ago, paced the lotus step and looked around, playing with the corners of her clothes from time to time, her demeanor was elegant and her expression was quiet, but the anxiety and nervousness that inadvertently flashed in her beautiful eyes exposed a faint sorrow between her eyebrows and eyes that seemed to be like a 10,000-year-old iceberg and could not be dissolved. Seeing the lights of thousands of homes gradually thinning out, and hearing the whispers of the people turn into low groans, Kong Wanqiu unconsciously quickened her pace, pulling the onion fingers at the corners of her clothes with a white and green color, and there was a little panic in her expression, a trace of relief, and a hint of resoluteness.
Kong Wanqiu sighed lightly, her onion fingers no longer tortured the corners of her wrinkled clothes, raised her head and looked up at the dark sky, not knowing how to open or close.
Is it a star shining in the blue sky?
Is it reminiscing about the bitter past that keeps flipping through in your mind?
Or is it letting the splash that overflowed the embankment go back to the jasper-like lake?
Just when Kong Wanqiu was out of her mind, her right shoulder was suddenly patted, and her whole body trembled slightly and returned to calm in an instant. Kong Wanqiu thought to herself that she was successful in practicing martial arts, and her ears and eyes were far better than ordinary people, but she was unexpectedly deceived and approached without knowing it, although she was distracted, she still felt a chill all over her body, from the spine to the brain. If someone comes to have a little ill intentions towards themselves...... As soon as she thought of this, Kong Wanqiu didn't dare to think deeply. didn't have to think about it, Kong Wanqiu turned around slowly, her expression didn't seem to care, and she didn't miss the slightest inch, only she knew that at this moment, her back was slightly wet, her whole body was tight, and the sleeve arrow in her right hand was even more ready to go.
Kong Wanqiu turned around and looked at the visitor, her eyes lit up first, and then immediately somehow they were foggy again. Kong Wanqiu kept blinking her eyes, as if she wanted to disperse the dense fog in front of her at some point, but she didn't expect that the dense fog was alive and well, and she couldn't blow it away, and she was so willful that she was helpless. Kong Wanqiu's right wrist moved slightly, quietly put away the sleeve arrow, and smiled sweetly, "Gongzi He, you are here!" There was a tremor of joy in his words and a hint of joy after he had completely relaxed.
He Xuxing didn't have time to take a closer look last time in a hurry, and at this time he couldn't help but sigh and marvel, what a "light eyebrows like autumn water, jade skin with a light breeze"! Autumn water bright pupils, nose and lips cherry blossoms, a bend of stars and moon appeared when Yan Ran smiled skillfully, the two springs and round streams reflected the stars and the moon left and right, and there were bursts of drunkenness in the eyes, fluttering and not knowing the past and the past, as if the round stream was not flowing with clear water, but the mellow daughter red of the cellar 28. Dan's lips are light, and its sound is just the empty valley orchid, like a yellow warbler out of the valley, the sound touches, and the sound is quiet.
He Xu Xing was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he stammer, "I've kept you waiting." Kong Wanqiu swept away Fang Cai's melancholy, and the onion fingers of his right hand gently pulled up He Xuxing's left sleeve, and said in a low voice, "Master He, please come with Wanqiu." He Xuxing somehow forgot to withdraw his left hand and let her gently pull her sleeve forward.
After the tea, the two of them went to the vicinity of the palace and found a remote place. Only then did Kong Wanqiu realize that she had dragged He Xu to Lixu, and she felt both shy and apologetic in her heart, and her pretty face rose Danxia. He Xuxing suddenly felt that there was a faint plum fragrance blown into his nose by the cold wind, looming, as if there was nothing, and he wondered in his heart, I don't know which plum blossom can bloom so fragrant. "Gongzi He, you can come here, Wanqiu is really grateful." He Xuxing hurriedly waved his hand, "Actually, I was originally ......", speaking of this, He Xuxing paused for a moment, and said after a while, "It's not appropriate for you to come alone."
Kong Wanqiu is not a person who twists, she immediately put away her little daughter's posture, and instantly became a sassy female general who directs the country. Kong Wanqiu pointed two fingers in his right hand and indicated a place, "I'll go into the house later, you are still outside the house like last time, if I haven't come out after an hour, He Gongzi will please go back, it's cold and don't stay for a long time." There was a slight tremor in the plain and unquestionable words, there was a sense of freedom and relief, and there was a dust that broke through the world.
He Xuxing looked to the left, and saw that his eyes were slightly small, his eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, and a certain heartstring in his heart was plucked, as if a piece of music was popped, and it was as if he had sung a beautiful sound. The cold wind blew his hair across his cheeks, which was light and soft, numb and crispy. He Xuxing looked up at the dark night sky, there seemed to be a smile in his ears in front of him, and after a while, he lowered his head and looked lonely, "I am mud, and the difference between clouds and mud is destined to be suspended." ”
He Xuxing was stunned for a moment before he remembered something, and asked, "What are Miss Kong's plans for this trip, can you tell me?" Kong Wanqiu smiled apologetically, pointed forward with her right hand and replied, "Does Gongzi He know what kind of place this is?" He Xuxing replied without thinking, "Isn't this the Prince's Mansion, who in the capital doesn't know." ”
Kong Wanqiu said again, "Then do you know that the prince's life and death are unknown now, and his whereabouts are unknown?" He Xuxing was surprised when he heard this, "The prince is above 10,000 people under him, not to mention the heavy troops in his hands, and there are even more masters around him, how can this be?" Kong Wanqiu shook his head and said, "I don't know either." In this trip, you must go to the palace to find out what is going on, and then make plans after knowing yourself and knowing the other. ”
With that, Kong Wanqiu took out a piece of paper from her left sleeve and slowly spread it out. At this moment, the moon hides the dark clouds, only the stars are shining, it is difficult to see what is on the paper, He Xuxing leaned his head to look closely, and suddenly felt that the fragrance of plum blossoms came faintly, and he subconsciously went out of his mind.
He Xuxing put aside distracting thoughts and looked intently, but it was a portrait of a middle-aged man. This person's face is high, his eyebrows are thick, his eyes are thick, although he is not handsome, but he has a majestic demeanor, only a few strokes, and his appearance, image, temperament and demeanor have jumped on the paper, and it is unforgettable.
Kong Wanqiu's left hand shook slightly, and his right hand was slightly sent, and the portrait returned to his left sleeve, and without waiting for He Xu Xing to reply, he was ready to step towards the palace, but his right shoulder sank slightly, and he couldn't take any step away from his footsteps. Kong Wanqiu stretched out her right hand and circled a half-ring around her lips and was about to call He Xuxing back, but when she saw He Xuxing turn around and smile at him softly, her lips opened slightly, and she turned around again. But seeing that his feet were slightly bent, his ten fingers were on the edge of the wall, his toes stepped lightly on the gap in the wall, and he cautiously stretched out his head to look into the house, and after a while, his hands and feet and wrists moved slightly, and his whole body seemed to float into the house.
Kong Wanqiu saw that he was doing light kung fu with one hand, if it weren't for the silence and not the place where he had been good for a long time, he couldn't help but scream. Thinking that the palace is the land of the tiger's den in Longtan, he can't help but worry about it, and he keeps blaming himself in his heart, "He Gongzi and I are just meeting in Pingshui, if he has three longs and two shorts, wouldn't he feel guilty for a lifetime?" Suddenly, Kong Wanqiu remembered what He Xu Xing said with her lips open before leaving, and folded her hands Why Xu Xing prayed silently and then cheered up again and sprouted fighting spirit. "The gentleman meets in the corner of the city, and Wanqiu is in the corner of the city", Kong Wanqiu thought to herself.
He Xuxing fell into the mansion gently, like a raccoon cat, he didn't make a sound for half a minute, and after landing on the ground, he squatted on one foot against the wall and squatted on his whole body to accumulate strength, looking at the movement in the palace. Xu is in a remote location, or the night is deep, the palace is unusually quiet, but in He Xuxing's eyes, he always feels that there is a yin wind blowing in his face for some reason, and he feels that this trip is no different from sending his head into the tiger's mouth, and he can't help but be timid. Fang Cai's enthusiasm rushed to his brain and thought about it, this mouth couldn't help but feel a little remorseful, annoyed by his impulsiveness and stupidity, and even a little frightened, I always felt that if I didn't take into account the man's face and morality, I was afraid that I would run away.
He Xuxing stroked his chest with his right hand, closed his eyes and breathed fiercely into the biting cold wind in the winter, and gradually felt that his beating heartbeat slowed down and gradually calmed down. He Xu Xing didn't know the details of the palace, thinking that the brightly lit place must be in the middle of the palace, so he only went to the bright place where the sound was heavy, and after a while, he found that there were many guards patrolling and monitoring back and forth in the lights of the palace, which was really loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Thanks to He Xu Xing's eyesight, he is a little abnormal, and he has grown slightly in his light body skills recently, so he can hide it in the corners of the walls, trees, and flower beds in the house before revealing his figure.
There was no danger along the way, and after a while, I came to the outside of a courtyard of several acres, and I saw countless guards in the courtyard from a hundred meters away, and the defense was very strict. He Xu Xing speculated in his heart that this should be the middle of the palace, and if he took half a step forward, he would be pulled out of shape. So he found a remote dark place a little far away and had a good line of sight, and after hiding his figure, he quietly looked into the courtyard.
The soldiers in the courtyard have three floors and three floors outside, patrolling back and forth, and the fish run through the shuttle. The soldiers are all equipped with swords and armor, and by the flickering lights, everyone looks nervous and serious, the fierce light in their eyes is exposed and murderous, and the tip of the arrow is faintly visible at the ridge of the roof from time to time flashing a dark light, and the skin is cold and cold, and the eyes of the archers can be seen in a trance like a wolf, like falling into an ice cellar. He Xu Xinghe had seen such a battle, resisted the urge to turn around and left, and continued to watch, instinctively squeezing his body into a darker and more hidden corner and curled up more humble and insignificant, even if someone noticed it, they would definitely think that it was nothing more than a hunting dog kennel in captivity in the middle of the house in the corner of the wall with their hooves raised to go to the toilet.
The cold wind blew into the collar, and the eyebrows were broken. I don't know how long it took, He Xuxing remembered in a trance that the guards in the courtyard had been replaced. Turtle cowering in the corner of the wall, unable to move around to keep warm, even changing posture has to choose the camera, He Xuxing felt that his whole body was stiff, as if frozen into a lump of ice, his teeth did not obey the call, and only by biting his index finger could he not fight with each other, although he had been lucky to resist the cold, but after all, "manpower is sometimes exhausted, and heaven and earth seem to have no real extreme". He Xu Xing thought to himself, if he went down this time, he would freeze to death, and this thought suddenly gave rise to his heart, so he quietly got up, preparing to return halfway without results.
Just as He Xuxing was about to leave, there was a noise in the courtyard, and He Xuxing immediately curled up again. I saw more than 100 soldiers with swords and armor coming out of the house in an orderly manner, standing in two rows, leaving a passage in the middle. Although there are many soldiers, but the sound of footsteps is like a person, but it is so strong and heavy that it goes straight to the eardrums, if so, it is fine, even the sound of the sword hitting the armor while walking is surprisingly consistent, at first it is crisp and pleasant to the ear, it is quite delicate and beautiful, and then there is a killing breath that penetrates from the metal, as if it is glowing with blood, which makes people shudder.
Later, five people walked out of the house, the first one was dressed in a black mink suit, with a breathtaking momentum, followed by a general, who was more than eight feet tall, with a beard on his face, and a scar from his left eyebrow to his jaw, adding a sinister aura that could be seen clearly from a distance. Then two guards escorted one person, ragged, the guards seemed to have a lot of strength, and the escorted person could only bow his head and bend his body, so it was difficult to distinguish his age and appearance. He Xu Xing looked at the person at the head, and always felt that he was familiar, and it took a while to wake up, and it seemed that he was eight points similar to the person depicted in the portrait of Kong Wanqiu, but it was difficult to assert because it was quite far away.
The leader turned back to say something to the general, and seemed to receive a subtle nod from the general, and then waved his hand, as if conveying some order, and his air was very majestic. However, in response to the bystander's clear, He Xuxing always felt that there was something strange in it, although he still felt that this person was quite imposing, and his command was no different from that of an official eunuch. Wait, suddenly He Xuxing's eyes lit up, and he pondered in his heart, the people have always rumored that the prince is benevolent and loves the people, but it seems to be different from such a look. It's just that He Xuxing also knows that most of the folk rumors are false, and the royal body is good at protecting himself, so he can't believe it seriously, so this blind thought only passed in his heart.
After a while, the leader and the general beside him turned around and returned to the main hall side by side, talking as they walked, and there seemed to be a smug look in their conversation, and they could vaguely hear the hearty and wanton laughter of the two. Then, more than a dozen soldiers lined up in the courtyard, along with the escorted man and the two soldiers who had been escorted, walked out of the courtyard and turned into the side path. The two guards who were escorted by Xu were relieved of some of their strength by walking, and the escorted man seemed to be unable to bear the soreness of his waist from bowing his head for a long time at the moment when he was about to enter the path, so he raised his head and straightened his waist. The soldier next to him immediately scolded, and hurriedly increased his strength, and the man returned to bowing his head and crumbling. From afar, it looks as pitiful as a stray puppy.
However, just this "glimpse" had set off a storm in He Xuxing's heart, and he couldn't help but sit on the cold ground. How can you not be shocked, how can you not be surprised, that person and the person depicted in the portrait of Kong Wanqiu are also seven or eight points similar, although the person looks lonely and mentally exhausted, but that kind of majestic momentum is engraved in the bones after all, it is difficult to eliminate, and the appearance of that figure cannot be faked. True or false, right and wrong? He Xu Xing was at a loss at the moment.
He Xuxing raised his head, as if the wind was rising, and he was thinking in his heart, the mountain rain was about to come, the wind was full of buildings, and the white clouds were empty for thousands of years.
After all, he was young and vigorous, He Xuxing was timid, his curiosity was full, and he planned to follow him. Xu is to maintain a posture for too long, He Xuxing just about to get up when he felt his legs paralyzed, with both hands to massage for a moment before he became conscious, under the cover of night, while the guards in the courtyard were not paying attention, rushed towards the direction of the escort.
Darkness and darkness, every step of the crisis.
Many years later, He Xuxing, who was dying on the hospital bed, put his right hand on his chest, "There will always be a moment when the choice is handed over to fate, and from then on I can only trade between the devil and the angel, and I can only miss the distant and longing for the past in my dreams, and deeply regret it, but never regret it." ”
