9. Chapter IX
The dagger was a thousand shots, looking along the faint light, she caught a glimpse of a handsome silhouette, eyebrows like peaks, eyes like black pools, a plump and straight nose, thin and red lips, his facial features are very good-looking, and the master has a fight, that is, the face is a little wide, the cheekbones are a little obvious, Chad looks a little unbeatable, the boudoir recognizes him, he is the Emperor Li, the person who kills people like numbness and likes to settle life and death in a game.
This world is so small, so Hu Chuang can bump into it, it's just funny, she is still depressed on the road how can she find him, I didn't expect to have to look for it at all, just one is it, this is what Lord Yama calculated in the underworld, right?
Qing Boudoir cleared her throat and was about to speak, Li Xun took the lead in raising her eyebrows: "You are the assassin who wanted to assassinate me some time ago?"
"Don't talk nonsense, hand over my master quickly! Otherwise, that assassin can't kill you, I will make your death easy today!" Qing Boudoir's face showed a sharp edge, looking invincible, she was angry, this dog emperor was too much, she was rude, and wronged her for being an assassin, and didn't give him some color to see, he didn't know what was in his dog's mouth, no wonder the master always said before, the emperor was assassinated again today, and tomorrow it will be 'the emperor is assassinated again today', she still wonders, why is this emperor assassinated every day? Only now did she suddenly realize that his character was so bad, in Ling Ya's words, it was done at all, who would he kill if he didn't kill him?
"If you dare to threaten me, aren't you afraid that I will pull you out and cut you down?"
"Do you think I'm still going to go back alive? Holding the Son of Heaven hostage is a capital crime, I don't need you to teach me, I say you can't let my master go? If I count to three, and if I don't answer, I will definitely make you regret it!" As the saying goes, the brute is afraid of tyranny, the tyrannical is afraid of dying, and the dying soldier can pull the general off the horse if he tries his best.
He plays tricks, understands people's hearts deeply, and understands women better, and this woman is very emotional, and once she has an emotional attack, she has no reason at all, and she says that she wants to kill him, and he may die every minute, how can he endure her arbitrary hostage? It is simply a big joke!
Sharp eyes swept away, and grabbed her wrist, Qing Boudoir only felt that her wrist hurt so badly that she couldn't even hold the dagger, Lixun quickly snatched the dagger, pushed, and turned defeat into victory: "Why do you talk to me about life and death, I let you die, you have to die now!"
Qing Boudoir was thrown so that she almost didn't stand firmly, she stroked her white wrist, she was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, she pulled out her long sword and rushed up, Lixun turned around and wrapped her, a sleeve wrapped her to the ground, Lixun closed her sleeves and said: "The kung fu of the three-legged cat, you dare to challenge me, it's really daring!" and then said: "But I see that you are not very old, and you are a woman, I don't have the same knowledge as you, you can go!"
"I want to see my master!"
"Your master has made a big mistake and is now on death row, you want to see him, but I'm afraid he may not be alive?"
"Blood, is that blood my master's? You sue me!" Qing Boudoir asked him sadly, he didn't answer, she reached out and grabbed his robe, and pestered: "Sue me, what happened to your master, what did you do to my master, did you lock him up? whipped and stabbed? Or is he dead? You sue me, is Master alive now?"
Lixun shook off her entanglement, and said impatiently: "Zheng Qingyu, you don't want to get an inch, I won't kill you because you have a gold medal to avoid death, do you think you still have the right to ask me? If you want to go, hurry up, don't chatter, if you rub it for too long, the gold medal can't save you!"
Qing Boudoir was desperate, completely desperate, it turned out that he really hurt the master, how could he be like this, could it be that in front of the king of a country, his courtiers and his subordinates were not killed? Master, her poor master, she knew this, she didn't let him enter the palace if she tried her best, now it's okay, beat, can't beat him, scolding is insignificant, trying to get up, walking is very difficult, she feels that she is too crippled, she can't do anything, it's simply insulting to the teacher:" Master, I'm sorry, it's the apprentice who didn't take good care of you, the apprentice is here to accompany you, you wait!" Qing Boudoir closed her eyes, picked up the long sword and wiped it on her neck.
Seeing that something was about to happen, Li Xun was stunned, and rolled off the long sword with one sleeve: "What are you doing here?
Qing Boudoir lowered his head and didn't speak, as if he didn't exist at all, Lixun looked at it and said: "Okay, don't look for death and life, I tell you the truth, your master is not dead, and he didn't make a mistake, he was just sent out of the palace to do something, and he will be back soon!"
Qing Boudoir raised her teary eyes and bumped into Lixun's assured eyes, she wanted to believe it, but she couldn't believe it, and finally chose not to believe it: "Don't lie to me, I won't believe you!"
"Believe it or not, he'll know when he comes back!"
Qing Boudoir stood up from the ground in disbelief, and did not want to thank him, she was disdainful of Emperor Li, although this man was good-looking, but his personality was very cunning, one set on the surface, one behind the back, everything to him was confused, in order to find out the truth, she thought of the bottle of blood, and asked: "Since my master is fine, what is the matter with the bottle of blood?"
"That's snake blood, your master asked me for it, said it was a treasure, it has the effect of relaxing muscles and invigorating blood, driving away wind and cold, he said that he wants to soak in wine, it's best not too little, I saw that there are some in the palace, so I sent someone to send it, I heard that you are familiar with hundreds of holy books, and it is very popular with Gu Qing's instruments, so I suddenly had a whim, I want to change the law to test you, saying that you don't need to tell you, you will understand when you see it, who knows that you don't know anything, it seems that you are not as serious as others say!"
Qing Boudoir is extremely depressed, and she is a person who wants to test her, in the past, she had no opinion on others to test her, but now the emperor also wants to test her? She has explained many times, she is not a talented woman, why is no one believing it? She has read hundreds of books and knows some astronomy and geography, so what? She is far from the so-called 'talent', and even the master does not think she is talented, so why should they be stubborn? Do they respect the master or give the master face?
The more I think about it, the more pressure I get, my forehead is still not angry, and the cold sweat of 'whooping' is rising: "The emperor is smiling, the people's girls can only talk on paper, if they come to the truth, there are many things that they really don't understand, the people's daughters are most afraid of snakes and scorpions and other things, not to mention snake blood, even caterpillars can't recognize everything!"
"Are you afraid of caterpillars?" "Afraid!" "What is Cheng dù?" "The scalp is numb and the limbs are weak!"
"I'm not afraid of all my might, I'm still afraid of these Taoists, there is no doubt that it's really a paper tiger!" At the end, he said: "Okay, it's not too early, I'm tired, go back and wait for news from your master!"
Qing Boudoir thought that she had heard it wrong, so she was stunned at first, and then kowtowed: "The folk girl retires!"
Lixun sent her away, but she fell into contemplation, this boudoir is desperate, but she is not very courageous, and Rongyu is really different, I used to hear people say that their master and apprentice relationship is very good, he still doesn't believe it, now it seems to be true, there are disciples like this, is it a blessing or a curse?
****
Qing Boudoir returned to the bachelor's house to wait for news, said to wait for news, in fact, is to sit on the rattan chair every day to roast charcoal, read books, take care of some trivial matters, the New Year is approaching, there are too many things to buy, and the weather is cold, there are more and more lazy people, sometimes let the boiler room boil more boiling water, the sister-in-law of the boiler room is not very happy, muttering behind her back, saying some bad things, she said, there are few people at the end of the year, more burning is also poured out, and waste firewood, it is better to burn with it, thirsty and wait for a stick of incense time.
There are even more people who are not harmonious at the bottom, they squeeze each other out of their backs, and if they don't say the right word, they will scold, add their fists and feet, and there will be a circle of people in the courtyard when they are strict, and they will not do anything, just watch them perform.
Qing Boudoir feels that this is simply a contempt for her, although she is not the master, many things always have to be difficult to get by, they don't even give her face, is this to challenge her limit?
Qing Boudoir saw it in her eyes and remembered it in her heart, she was kind and pleasant on the surface, and there was no dissatisfaction, and in the afternoon she settled their monthly money, and drove them away one by one, she was merciful for too long, and others regarded her mercy as weakness, if she was not punished, I don't know how many jokes she would make in the future.
Drove away a dry of people, Qing Boudoir's brain was a little confused, just slept on the recliner and staggered, I don't know how long, Ling Ya suddenly jumped into the threshold and said that the adult is back, Qing Boudoir opened her eyes, thinking that she had heard it wrong, Ling Ya said, it is true, the adult is really back, and went to the dormitory. Qing Boudoir didn't say a word, she smiled and went to find the master, Ling Ya was very puzzled, she had only left for a few days, should she be in such a hurry?
Ling Ya's muttering, Qing Boudoir couldn't hear it anymore, at this time she had only one thought in her mind, seeing the master see the master, I haven't seen him for a few days, I don't know why I miss him very much, just like after three autumns, I don't know if the master misses her the same.
She started to walk quickly, holding a handkerchief in her hand that Wenwen was weak, delicate flowers shining on the water, seeing that no one was staring at her, she simply trotted up, maybe she ran too quickly, and when she arrived at the door of the dormitory, she braked, and suddenly bumped into half of the master's bare shoulder, yes, it was bare-shouldered, the master carried acupuncture on the shoulder, the white shoulders were upside down, and the boudoir felt that her heart was throbbing, and then the fawn jumped wildly, she stroked her chest, stood with her back, and her mind could not be calm for a long time.
After about two or three roots, she found that his brows were furrowed, and it hurt very much, so she became protective of him, and she couldn't wait to rush up to bear this qiē for him, maybe she cared too much, when he was in pain, she even shouted out unknowingly: "Master-"
Finding that the female apprentice was peeking outside, Rong Yu stretched out his hand to flick off the silver needle, and quickly pulled on the single coat, his movements were elegant and calm, and he did not feel panicked at all, he frowned calmly, his face was clear, I don't know if he was shy.
"Master, where are you uncomfortable, sue me, I'll go get you medicine!" Qing Boudoir squatted down and looked at her nervously.
"Master is fine!" "Why do you need to get a needle if you're fine?" "It's more wet and cold in winter, so it's more comfortable to get a prick!"
"Okay, the apprentice believes you!" Qing Boudoir said: "Master, why don't you let people report when you leave the palace? There is no news at all, do you know how worried you are about you when you are not there, how worried the apprentice is about you, the apprentice is worried that he will never see the master again, Master, the apprentice misses you so much, do you want to be a disciple?"
"Naturally concerned!" may be his literary quality, he is not used to saying 'want', only to say concern.
"Great, the apprentice is also concerned about the master!" Qing Boudoir put her head on the master's knees, smiling and her heart rippled, maybe she didn't know how hooking her smile was, Rong Yu glanced at it, looked away slightly, grabbed a pinch of silver needles next to her, put it in a small gourd, and asked while putting it down: "Qing boudoir, you are in the mansion these days, there is something that Master wants to ask you!"
"What's the matter?"
"The emperor has encountered assassins again, have you ever heard of it?"
Qing Boudoir was stunned, and said indifferently: "I don't know-"
The corners of Rong Yu's mouth twitched, with peace of mind, as if to say, so I was relieved: "I remember what the master instructed, now the palace is turbulent, don't run around, be careful of others being hurt!"
"Well, I understand!" Qing Boudoir responded on the surface, as if there was no such thing, but in fact, her heart had already flooded like a flood, and she didn't expect the news to spread so quickly, and the master heard about it when she came back, fortunately she disguised herself, otherwise the officers and soldiers would have come early now, and it seems that the master didn't know the news of her entering the palace. It's strange, the master is so sensitive, how could he not know that she entered the palace?
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became, no, I couldn't let him know, I couldn't let him down, maybe, she should do something.
