Chapter 121: Ten Thousand Dark
Qingfang Palace is directly opposite the main square, separated by a wide moat. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
There are nine identical stone bridges over the moat, named the Nine Holy Bridges. The snow-white carving of the bridge is extremely fine, and the whole bridge can not find a single gap as if it was completed in one go.
In Qingguo, no matter how big or small, the open space square at the front gate of Qingfang Palace is the most lively. Nine wide stone bridges welcome more than half of the people sent to the capital of Qingguo, except for the ministers and palace people who enter and exit on weekdays, the nine holy bridges are almost uninhabited, and they are very crowded during the festival.
On the mainland of Kyushu, the delicate big girl can go out alone and squeeze in the surging crowd to see the excitement. When the girl was in the Nine Sacred Bridge, her newly embroidered shoes were trampled on, and she immediately shouted: "Hey, you stepped on my foot." ”
The sound was quickly drowned out in the bustling crowd. Crowds of pedestrians flow slowly in one direction like a stream. Only one man who happened to be walking beside her paused for a moment. The man is very tall, wearing a hat on his head, and his posture is tall and cold.
In fact, there were so many suspects at the scene, and no one knew who was the culprit of that kick. Maybe even the person concerned doesn't know that he has stepped on someone. Despite this, the man who was shouted still stood up consciously. He looked up slightly, revealing a resolute jaw. Lifted up again, revealing a handsome and cold face suppressed under the hat. Especially the dark eyes are like a vast starry night.
The man said sharply, "I'm sorry." He lowered his head and tilted his hat to cover his face again.
Just one eye, just one second.
It's a slap in the face.
The girl is not raised in the depths of the boudoir and is not known to the people. Her family is in business, and when she was an adult, she also traveled with caravans from north to south, which can be regarded as well-informed. But the handsome male girl who was so obvious was still accidentally amazed. 's outstanding appearance and cold temperament made her heart can't help but "plop" and beat wildly, like someone hitting her heart hard.
The man passed by her, and the girl reacted and quickly turned her head to look for her. It's a pity that there are crowds, and where can I find a man wearing a hat.
……
Biwa Zhuyong, the red wall is towering. Not only did the people outside the palace flock to the centennial celebration, but the solemn palace surrounded by Gao Qiang also gradually boiled. The waiter palace maid received the task according to her duties and began to arrange it early, and the civil and military officials and King Qing discussed the size of the celebration, and it was very lively in and out.
In the corner of the high wall, the blue wolf sat silently on the head of the wall wearing a hat cover. Inside and outside the walls, everyone was busy rejoicing at the upcoming celebration, and the blue wolf stood alone, watching all this with a blank face, patiently waiting for the night to fall.
Wait, wait, wait, wait until the lights come on.
The lights outside the wall were bright, and the people were still in good spirits, waiting until the second half of the night, when the people on the Jiusheng Bridge and the square finally dispersed. Eventually, the last group of young people dispersed and returned home. On the other side of the wall, the lights of the canopy hall were not extinguished all night. The blue wolf retracted his gaze, jumped to the ground, and ran towards the side hall avoiding the patrolling guards.
Just like when I first came, the moon shone in the dark blue sky. It's a cycle of the year. And the blue wolf, the first hunter in Kyushu, took a task from here and took a year to trap himself. The object of the mission becomes a protected object, and the object is lost.
Losing control of life and events is a taste that the blue wolf can rarely experience after he comes out of school. When I was a child, I was so arduous, endured humiliation, and gritted my teeth just to live a small life, and this is a piece of cake for the blue wolf in adulthood. The aimlessness of his life is even martial arts is only a survival skill, and the number one bounty hunter in Kyushu is just following the trend, and then others give him the title.
The blue wolf crept into the side hall, like a shadow wandering in the darkness, silently and without a trace.
There is no palm light in the side hall, all the windows are tightly closed, the light of Shaoyue is cut off, and there is no trace of popularity inside. The huge side hall greeted the uninvited blue wolf in a posture that had been abandoned for a long time and uninhabited.
Is that person no longer in Qingfang Palace, or has he changed his residence?
Just as the blue wolf was puzzled, there was a "squeak" sound from the back of the side hall, and someone pushed the small door from the outside to the inside, making a sound with the rusty door shaft. The heat swept in from outside, and then the orange light swayed in, and finally the door creaked shut. The little orange lamp shook a lot due to the air current, and finally stood up and did not go out.
The light source of the little orange lamp is limited, and it also grinds a veil when illuminating, and everything is hazy, but it can still make the blue wolf see the whole picture of the person who came. The lantern is a palace maid, not tall, goose egg face, red lips and white teeth, childish, still developing. She held a lamp in one hand and a big food box in the other to control her balance, a pair of small eyes to look at the food box on the one hand, and look at the road for a while, naturally she didn't notice anything unusual in the room. Step by step, he walked towards the blue wolf hidden in the darkness.
The little palace maid walked forward unconsciously. She stopped in a daze when she felt something cold against her front neck, and only then did she realize that there was a pair of men's cloth shoes in the darkness opposite. Slowly and then up is a pair of straight and strong legs. The lamp in her hand moved upward, and then the man's chest, face, and the big cold knife straight against her neck.
Compared to the knife, the sudden appearance of a person in the dark made the little girl feel even more terrifying.
"Ah~"
The screams drifted back and forth in the sealed palace for a long time, and it may have been so well insulated that it did not cause a commotion. The food box was overturned, and the soup was spilled all over the ground.
"Where's the teacher?" asked the man on the other side in a low voice, concise and to the point.
"I ...... I don't know......" The palace maid was not only in her voice, but the whole person trembled and replied.
In the overturned food box, those overly delicate delicacies were obviously not eaten by the palace maid herself. Her answer did not satisfy the blue wolf at all. The knife and the flesh were getting closer and closer, and the little palace maid's body trembled like a crumbling dead leaf in the treetops in winter, but she just insisted that she didn't know where the master was.
There was an object wriggling in the depths of the darkness, and it was inaudible without making a sound. The blue wolf didn't notice at first, it was the little palace maid who was not hot enough, and her body was shaking like chaff, and her eyes didn't forget to move somewhere frequently. This made the blue wolf suspicious. It turns out that the person I'm looking for has been under my nose all along. That's right, it costs a blind man to light any lamp, and the previous time the lights were bright enough to give them these bounty hunters with a clear eye, maybe this side hall usually looks like this.
I was almost deceived by appearances.
Fortunately, the result was as he wished, and the young man with facial paralysis rarely lifted the corners of his mouth, and he put away the knife and turned sideways to catch the target. How do you know that the little palace maid didn't know what to do, so she pounced and hugged the blue wolf's feet and shouted desperately: "National teacher, run!"
