Chapter 19: The Cold Night is Deep and the Arrow is Cold (2)

She calculated, there were three batches of guards in the Prime Minister's Mansion at night, and a total of two rotations were required during the period. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info about half a cup of tea for each shift change, which is once from the time of the hour to the time of the sea, and the time of the child to the time of the ugly. This meant that she had to sneak into the house during the first shift change and out of the house between the second shifts.

She unfolded the map of the Xiangfu and the streets of Chang'an City, and found that there were three roads to choose from from the house where she lived to the back door of the Xiangfu, but speed and convenience were not the first choice factors, and it was the best choice to effectively avoid the roads of the officers and soldiers patrolling the city during these two time periods. And this can only turn to Shi Jiaheng for help, but she decided to tell a lie. After all, this matter is in crisis, so I don't want to involve him, and once something happens to him, he can also use his power to protect the three of them.

So she lied to Shi Jiaheng that she needed to revise the paintings in the painting institute recently, and she might not be able to go back until late, and she didn't want to meet the patrol soldiers in vain, so she asked him about the patrol routes and times of the city patrol soldiers these days and nights. Although Shi Jiaheng felt strange, he didn't ask too much, and quickly gave a reply. Based on his reply, she decided on the route.

When there was something in her heart, she felt that time flew by, because there were too many things to consider and things to prepare, Chu Yunxi didn't even have time to be afraid and retreat, she just moved forward step by step according to the plan. She knew that the more she acted, the more she could calm her mind and dispel the thoughts of regretting giving up.

On the tenth day of the seventh month, the bright moon shines brightly, the silver stars are sparse, and the joys and sorrows are mixed. The good thing is that the night sky is clear, there is no wind and no rain; The worry is that the moonlight is bright and clean, and it is not conducive to hiding.

Chu Yunxi pushed open the window and sniffed the drum, at this moment, the drum was beating, it was already time, and he could change his clothes and set off.

She first put on a layer of soft armor over her underwear, and then put on a night suit. His arms were tied with sleeve arrows carefully crafted by hidden weapon craftsmen, acacia swords were wrapped around his belt, two short knives were placed around his waist, fire folds and several hidden weapons soaked in anesthetic were placed in his arms, and a dagger was stuffed into each boot. She also brought a Ecstasy that was specially prepared by Lin Yueyuan in case of emergency. Before going out, in addition to confessing to Lu Yan, she did not forget to take a blue porcelain bottle into her arms at the end, and no one would know that she was filled with highly poisonous peacock gall bladder. No one knew that she was determined to die, and if she failed, she would only die.

In order to prevent Biyin from being afraid of making noise, Lu Yan coaxed her to sleep early in the morning. Then she secretly wiped her tears and cleaned up her things in the house, in fact, she wanted to persuade her master to stop, and only hoped that she could obey Mrs. Bai Qiao's last wish to be safe and happy. Don't take such a heavy responsibility on your body, and don't be an enemy of your biological father. If one day she really brings her biological father to justice, she will be spurned and difficult to gain a foothold in the world. Why not find a beloved, forget about those unhappiness, and happily live the rest of your life. She knew that the young lady didn't want to hear this, so she told Qing Chun these thoughts.

Qing Chun took the sword from the wall and tied it around his waist, his face tense with the seriousness before preparing for battle. She categorically persuaded Lu Yan to give up this idea: "This is the master's wish, and we should fulfill her." What's more, the master is not a weak woman who is generally indulged in stable pleasures, she has her own things to accomplish, and as a loyal servant, she should be absolutely loyal to the master's thoughts and practices. As for how the master wants to do it, that's the master's business. It has nothing to do with you and me. ”

Lu Yan had to sigh helplessly behind her over and over again.

Since Qing Chun had to take on the heavy responsibility of protecting the two of them, her proposal to go with Chu Yunxi was rejected by her.

If she can't get home before the end of the day, then Qing Chun will be responsible for sending Lu Yan and the others to the Northwest General's Mansion for refuge.

Out of the alley, she went all the way to the west and went straight to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Due to the accuracy of the time card, this road through the streets and alleys successfully avoided all the officers and soldiers patrolling the city, and only one more street was needed, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was close at hand.

She had just turned a street corner when fire faintly shone from the other side of the stone wall. She held her steps in astonishment, instinctively lowered her body, slowly moved her steps against the wall, and poked her head out. A group of a dozen patrol soldiers, carrying lanterns and torches, were lazily gathered around an intersection and leaned against the wall to talk.

She retracted her head in a panic and stood against the wall, trying her best to think of what to do. The soldiers were supposed not to appear here, blocking her from advancing or retreating, and their stopping at the intersection was equivalent to blocking the four roads in front of them at the same time. She would either go straight south to bypass the block, but she would surely pass the gates and be spotted by the defenders; Either head north and bypass a block, but you're likely to encounter the next group of patrol officers. She was in a hurry to burn her eyebrows, and if she jumped up the wall and climbed the wall with her light skills, she would have to jump over their heads, and the houses on the street were so far apart that they were likely to fall off unless they were chained, how could that be good?

Oh, only listening to the sound of weapons sparsely scratching the ground, several soldiers giggled and laughed: "Boss, you are back." ”

It turned out that they were waiting for their leader here. She took a step forward along the wall, glancing sideways. A person wearing dark armor [This official name is my own fiction, I did not find the relevant official name in the history books, and I just made it up in desperation, if there is any similarity is purely coincidental, readers with relevant knowledge are welcome to correct it.。 The captain of the city patrol walked from the north side of the street with a painful face clutching his stomach, and the soldiers gathered around him with concern and greeted him with a gossip.

Chu Yunxi sweated profusely, and his heart was so dangerous, if this captain had gone to the east just now, wouldn't it have collided with her.

The soldiers rushed up to surround the lieutenant in the middle, and a dozen people blocked the street intersection on the north side, exposing the remaining three intersections. The lieutenant must have had a stomach upset, squatting on the ground with weak legs and feet, leaning against the wall with two soldiers supporting him, and all the soldiers' attention was focused on the captain's body. This was her chance to dash quickly diagonally westward. She half-crouched down, saw the right moment, and ran forward out of the alley with her head down.

Behind her, there were more hurried footsteps than her. Someone is chasing after you! The alarm bell in her head rang loudly, and she reflexively punched it. A man half a head taller than her sideways ducked, her fist in the air, and her arm hung directly on the man's right shoulder. The man put his arms around her waist and carried her back into the alley.

"Who?" Two large living people chased after a dozen soldiers, and even if they didn't see it, they heard the sound. The soldiers with weapons in their hands shouted at the alley, "Who, who's where, come out quickly!" ”

The man clasped her hands with one hand and pressed her against the wall, and by the moonlight, she suddenly found that the person in front of her was Shi Jiaheng. He held out a finger and made a silent gesture to her, whispering in her ear, "Wait for me here, don't move." Then he untied the flask from his waist and staggered out against the light.

The new patrol captain surnamed Gao is the nephew of the current head of the military department. The two are very different in terms of origin and rank, but Shi Jiaheng has always been likable and very popular, not only because he is handsome and likable; is even more because he is a person who is round and humble, neither humble nor arrogant, so as long as he sees the people in his eyes, he has friends with all the three religions and nine streams, and even the representatives of the famous ladies in Chang'an City - Gu Chaomin and Li Can call him brothers.

"Brother Jiaheng!" The high lieutenant clutched his stomach and screamed happily and uncomfortably, and then stopped the soldiers beside him and said, "If you don't retreat, you don't have long eyes, and you don't even recognize General Shi." ”

The soldiers hurriedly put away their weapons and stood in formation.

Shi Jiaheng pretended to be drunk and hugged his fists and said, "Hello brother! As he spoke, he stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder.

The high lieutenant endured the colic pain in his abdomen, bared his teeth and grinned bitterly: "Brother Jiaheng, it's so late, why are you still wandering outside?" ”

Shi Jiaheng held his forehead, leaned sideways against the wall with drunken eyes and said, "Lord Cao set up a banquet in the July Building until this moment, and he drank too much. ”

Lieutenant Gao's lips were white, and his legs were weak in pain, Shi Jiaheng saw the clue, dragged his arm and hurriedly asked, "Brother Gao is unwell, go back and rest quickly." I traveled all the way, and I didn't see any gangsters. If you don't worry about me, I'll go through it for you, you go to the doctor and take a look, the wife and children in the province are worried. ”

"That's ......" Lieutenant Gao reluctantly raised his hand and clenched his fist in thanks, "That's it, thank you a lot." ”

Shi Jiaheng called the soldier to pick up the high school captain, and before leaving, he generously handed the wine jug in his hand to the soldier next to him to carry: "This is the best soju taken from the banquet, the high school captain is too busy with official business to go to the banquet, this wine for you is also a little bit of Lord Cao's heart." In fact, he said this on purpose, Master Cao of the Ministry of Engineering would not remember a little captain patrolling the city at all, let alone invite him to the birthday banquet, he said this just to save face for him.

Seeing everyone turn out of the street, Shi Jiaheng returned to the alley. Chu Yunxi really stood there obediently and waited for him.

Faced with his uncertain face, she turned away in shame, lowered her head and took off the face towel on her face, clutched it in her hand and kneaded it.

Shi Jiaheng, who was silent for a while, slowly approached her back, sighed and said, "I'll accompany you tomorrow night." ”

Chu Yunxi thought that he had misheard, his eyes widened, and he asked an unbelievable "ah".

Shi Jiaheng didn't speak, just took her hand and walked back quickly. He did not reproach though. But she could feel his hand clenching tighter and tighter, as if he was angry.

He walked so fast, Chu Yunxi couldn't see his face, and his heart was a little weak, as if he was talking to himself, and said softly: "I thought you would stop me." ”

Shi Jiaheng stopped, turned to her with a frosty face, and said sharply: "You are too bold." It was the first time he had spoken to her in such a stern tone, and she knew she was wrong, so she blushed and turned away. When she was ready to meet his scolding, he suddenly smiled.

His bright smile is like the sunshine in March, warming people's arms. His gaze was obviously gentle, but she felt it scorching like a charcoal fire when it fell on her. He took off the ethereal coat on his body and put it on her, and said softly, "It's summer now, why are your hands still so cold." Then he took her hand again, slowed down slightly, and said, "You are so smart, you must have already known the great relationship in your heart." What's the use of me blocking you. I can't turn you into a jade pendant and hang it on my waist, so that I can watch you and guard you all the time. I know you're not a rash person, and you won't look back when you decide to do something. Rather than being disgusted by mother-in-law and mother-in-law, it is better to sacrifice one's life to accompany the gentleman freely. ”

His words were like a thin pair of scissors, easily cutting the cord that bound her nerves. Chu Yunxi followed him stupidly, completely forgetting the danger lurking around her, as if stepping on the clouds was unreal, she thought in a drowsy way that if she could walk like this to the end of her life, it would not be a happy destination.
