The second white thirty times the fragrance canal
Xu Rong was imprisoned in that room for two days, during which every meal was delivered on time, and it was all extremely luxurious food, delicacies from the mountains and seas, bird's nest and bear's paws, almost everything. www.biquge.info When Xu Rong ate his first meal, he thought it was the "Last Supper" for the condemned prisoners who were about to be escorted to the execution ground. But after being like this for two days in a row, she couldn't help but be full of doubts: Could it be that Dong Zhuo really didn't want to kill her? Could it be that a hero like Dong Zhuo, who is in his fifties and full of ambition in his heart, will still be overwhelmed by her appearance? This is really a bit unexpected, she and Dong Zhuo have not been together for a long time, but she has already seen that Dong Zhuo is by no means a womanizer, although he also has many concubines, but no woman can influence his behavior, could it be ...... I haven't spied into Dong Zhuo's heart enough?
Nowadays, she does not have the ability to completely see through a person's mind, but she can still infer the other party's thoughts through a person's words and deeds, tone and look. It's just that she originally thought that Dong Zhuo would not have a personal affair with her children, but now Dong Zhuo has not killed her for a long time, which makes her a little doubtful about her evaluation of Dong Zhuo.
On the third day, just after the hour, two maids came over and said to Xu Rong:
"Lord Xiangguo is enjoying the flowers in the east courtyard, please Miss Xu Rong and the slaves to visit Xiangguo in the east courtyard."
Xu Rong got up silently and waited for three days, not for the news of being escorted to the execution ground and beheaded, but for the will to accompany Dong Zhuo to enjoy the flowers, Dong Zhuo ...... Has it changed now?
Along the way, one of the two maids was older, about twenty years old, and she taught Xu Rong with the attitude of an elder:
"Although Lord Xiangguo's temper is like a fire, as long as he doesn't do wrong things and say wrong things, he won't embarrass us too much. Miss Xu, although you are young, Lord Xiangguo is not thin on you, this is a blessing from God. With your appearance, as long as you are docile and considerate enough, Lord Xiangguo will definitely not treat you badly. ”
Xu Rong just lowered his head and followed them silently, not even meaning to perfunctory this maid.
Seeing that Xu Rong ignored her, the maid accentuated her tone again:
"Miss Xu Rong, don't think that what your sister said is false. Sister really doesn't want to see a child like you Xiang Xiaoyu die, not long ago, there was a beautiful Ji who has always been favored by Lord Xiangguo, because she accidentally angered Xiangguo by her words, and her tongue was cut off by Lord Xiangguo, and she just passed away yesterday...... Alas, don't follow in the footsteps of that beauty. ”
The maid wanted to scare Xu Rong, but Xu Rong still had an indifferent look, she didn't expect that this little girl, who looked like she was only about fourteen years old, was so stubborn, so she opened her mouth and wanted to persuade Xu Rong.
"You,"
Xu Rong suddenly raised his head and looked at her coldly:
"Do you know how many people I have slaughtered and how many cities I have conquered since I led my troops this year? Even Sun Jian and Sun Wentai, who made Lord Xiangguo jealous, I defeated him twice in a row, and even almost captured him alive. Do you think that a general like me will go to meet him for the sake of the happiness of Lord Xiangguo alone? ”
The younger maid gently tugged at the sleeve of the older maid, but the older maid glared at her, then stopped and looked Xu Rong up and down:
"The slave knows that I have heard that General Xu has won every battle on the battlefield, and kills people without blinking, and his methods are so cruel that everyone in the world is terrified."
She deliberately used an honorific title for Xu Rong, but there was no look of awe in her eyes, and there was a trace of sympathy and pity in her eyes:
"But so what? Now you are just a woman raised by Lord Xiangguo, what is the difference between you and the many women in this Bi Gui Garden? Moreover, even if you are still the lieutenant general next to Lord Xiangguo, then you have to obey Xiangguo's orders, who can resist his words? And now, whether it is Miss Xu, or Meiji next to Lord Xiangguo, or a humble subordinate like the slaves, as long as you enter this Bi Guiyuan, you have to rely on Lord Xiangguo's snort to live, if you speak against him...... No matter who it is, the end is bound to be a bad death. ”
Hearing her words, Xu Rong was surprised: I really didn't expect that there would be such a righteous and upspoken maid here, she was not as awe-inspiring as other maidservants, but she really said what she cared about her, yes, she was right, what is the difference between herself today and the many women raised by Dong Zhuo? What if it's a Zhonglang general? Now the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, who does Dong Zhuo want to kill, and who can stop him? Now that Dong Zhuo is in charge, as long as he is still in power, whether it is a man or a woman, he can only become his slave.
Xu Rong glanced approvingly, this maid is really rare......
"What's your name?"
The maid looked directly at Xu Rong, who had a quiet and indifferent face, and her eyebrows rose slightly:
"The slave's name is Qinglu."
"Oh, the dew......"
Xu Rong nodded slightly, and a person's shadow suddenly appeared in her mind from Dong Xiaoyou's memory: Biluo! This woman is very similar to Biluo, not only her beautiful facial features are similar to Biluo, but more importantly, she is the same as Biluo, she has a kind and outspoken heart, although Biluo is more restrained, and this Qinglu is more public, but the appearance of the two of them preaching is like a mold carved out.
"You ...... When you are in front of Dong Zhuo, it is best not to say what you just said. ”
Xu Rong persuaded with good words, she felt that such a woman was living under Dong Zhuo's hands, and with her outspokenness and kindness, she was afraid that she would kill herself one day.
Qinglu pursed her lips and smiled:
"Thank you Miss Xu Rong for your concern, the slave has her own way of life, and the girl doesn't have to worry about it."
Xu Rong smiled at her, the smile was very beautiful, which made Qinglu a little stunned, but then his face was slightly red:
"It seems that you are also a very clever person, girl...... What the slave maid said just now was indeed presumptuous, and I ask the girl to forgive me. ”
"Let's go, don't let Lord Xiangguo wait for a long time, he is going to start a fire, I'm afraid it will hurt you."
Xu Rong lowered his head and said with a light smile.
“…… Be. ”
The three of them quickened their pace, and after a few moments, they came to the east courtyard.
Here is a large flower garden, the garden is strange flowers and plants, now it is the late spring season, a hundred flowers compete to bloom, the fragrance is fragrant, colorful, make people linger. The center of the flower garden is an artificially built channel, about a zhang wide, the flower garden is divided into two pieces, just as the Han Ling Emperor Liu Hong built a flowing incense canal in his harem for his enjoyment, the two sides of this channel are actually inlaid by the jade jade, the light is shining, reflecting the flowing water in the canal, clear and shiny, like a flowing gem, this jade channel divides it into two in the middle of the flower garden, and intersects with each other at the bottom edge, forming a living canal water, surrounding the entire flower-filled flower garden, It makes anyone look like they are seeing a huge piece of jasper with flowers in the middle, which is beautiful and breathtaking.
In the middle of the channel, there is a platform made of milky white jade, about two zhang long and wide, with a beautiful woman leaning and stepping on it, which is obviously a position for the viewer. Such a luxurious "observation deck", presumably only the Son of Heaven can enjoy it in this world...... By the way, now, there is still a Dong Zhuo who dares to trespass here.
On the crystal channel, there are four positions in the southeast, northwest and northwest respectively set up a small stone bridge across the channel into the flower garden, no, Xu Rong approached and found that it was not a stone arch bridge, but a bridge built with green fluorite and emerald glaze, because it is a transparent material of gemstones, so walk on it, look down and see the curved water flowing with gorgeous petals, so beautiful, it is really a superb view in the world, but it is also a beautiful scenery of extreme luxury. Seeing this, Xu Rong sneered in his heart: The people of the world only know how to condemn her for slaughtering innocent people in a few cities, but how many people have been squeezed to build such a luxurious beauty?
Dong Zhuo was sitting cross-legged on the white jade platform at this time, and on top of a huge table made of ash in front of him, some rare and rare fruits and fine wine held in golden cups were placed.
"The slave maid has seen Xiangguo, and has brought Miss Xu Rong here."
The two maids bowed respectfully to Dong Zhuo, and Qinglu looked back at Xu Rong slightly: she was still just standing behind, without the slightest hint of saluting.
Qinglu was worried that such a contemptuous move would arouse Dong Zhuo's disgust, she handed a look to Xu Rong, signaling her to "A good woman does not suffer immediate losses", at this time, even if she is pretending to be obedient, she should show respect for Dong Zhuo, so that is the way to survive. But this Xu Rong was unmoved, which made Qinglu a little angry: Doesn't this woman really want to live? When she was on the road just now, she could clearly see that she was a very knowledgeable and smart woman, but at this time, she was so arrogant, she obviously wanted to anger Dong Zhuo. What the hell was she thinking, so not afraid of death?
Fortunately, Dong Zhuo seemed to be in a good mood, he didn't care about these red tape, but proudly waved his hand to the two maids:
"Go down and wait, and come up again when Lone commands."
"Yes."
Qinglu and another maid got up and retreated, and when they walked past Xu Rong, Qinglu was still giving her a look, but it was a pity that Xu Rong's eyes seemed to be staring at the strange beauty around him at this time, and he didn't pay attention to the person.
After the maids retreated, only Xu Rong and Dong Zhuo were left in the entire huge flower garden, Dong Zhuo was dressed simply today, just an ordinary vermilion embroidered robe, with a military crown on his head, without the cumbersome and luxurious attire of the past, but made him look several years younger.
After Xu Rong arrived, Dong Zhuo sat down on the platform, and he looked at Xu Rong carefully: although he was still young, his long hair was flowing, his facial features were exquisite, his complexion was snow-white, and his lips were like agate. What she was wearing was a short embroidered skirt embroidered with peony flowers that she had specially prepared for her, with a waist tied with green silk nephrite, a red bead hairpin, and a foundation of cinderella...... Like the fairies of the Heavenly Palace, they are delicate and refined, magnificent and flawless.
Resemble! It's so much like it!
Dong Zhuo's heart was beating violently as if it was burned by boiling oil, he originally thought that that woman was a wisp of ghost that he would never see again in his life, but how could he have thought that now he is over one hundred and a half years old, and he is the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, but when his heart has already been settled, the sky is beautiful, making him recall the woman who haunted him again.
Xu Rong didn't care that Dong Zhuo's pair of eager eyes were wandering restlessly on him, just look at it, he couldn't miss a piece of meat, but he couldn't see it, such an old uncle in his fifties, and a little youthful passion in those fiery eyes...... I still don't know much about people's feelings, no wonder Li'er is so angry with herself, maybe Li'er is the same, even if she lives for a few hundred more years, she still has a "human heart" that doesn't know when she can regain her youthful vitality. Li'er is right, he really doesn't understand the "human heart" at all, Xu Rong laughed at himself in his heart.
Dong Zhuo looked at Xu Rong's gaze still staring at the beauties around him, and he finally spoke:
"Do you like this flower garden very much?"
Xu Rong ignored him, but leaned over slightly, staring carefully at the crystal bright channel.
"This channel was built by the first emperor, no matter spring, summer, autumn and winter, there are various colored petals floating all year round, so it is also called the fragrance canal."
Dong Zhuo had already gently walked to Xu Rong's side at this time.
Xu Rong looked back at him coldly: "The concubine didn't ask Xiangguo, what is the name of this canal." ”
Dong Zhuo was not angry at all, his attitude was even more gentle and amiable than when he regarded Xu Rong as his advisor, but the smile on his face was very strong:
"Lonely... It's self-talk. ”
Xu Rong pursed his lips, Dong Zhuo would be so kind.
Suddenly, Dong Zhuo grabbed one of Xu Rong's soft wattles, although it was very fast, but the strength was just right, which could not only make Xu Rong feel his urgency, but also did not make Xu Rong feel the slightest pain:
"Come with me." (To be continued.) )
