Chapter 17: Enjoyment
The willow tops on the moon, the hall is brightly lit, reflecting the green shirts and skirts in the room. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info line wine pitcher, feasting and drinking, many people have a slightly drunk look on their faces.
Zige was at Lian'er's side, looking coldly at the cheerful and peaceful mood of the banquet. Mu Lixuan couldn't refuse Lu Junyi's hospitality, and played pitching with seven or eight people. Although he claimed to be a novice, he had already mastered several rounds of shots in succession, which provoked Liang Zhongzhi next to him to applaud.
Lian'er turned the wine glass in her hand, but Yu Guang secretly looked at Liu Yuzhang who was sitting opposite, and Zige sighed softly in her heart. Just when she stroked the piano, several dancers from Fengtaifang danced in the hall, charming, and after the end of the song, they naturally scattered and sat in the banquet. At this moment, a woman with a round and beautiful face was pouring wine for Liu Yuzhang, with a faint crimson on her face.
Lian'er was upset, put the wine glass on the table, turned her face to Zige and said, "Sister, you say...... Why did he delay participating in the martial arts test? ”
Zige listened attentively, and didn't know how to answer for a while, but he heard Lian'er say again: "Fang was in the back room, he was both deferential and polite to me, and I thought he was interested in me...... But now that he has a beautiful woman by his side, I suddenly feel very far away from him......"
Zige silently watched Mu Lixuan raise his slender arm in the distance, win another game steadily, and then took the wine glass in the hand of the dancing girl with a smile, drank it all, and the corners of his lips couldn't help but smile a little, but falling into Lian'er's eyes, it was like a declaration that the end of the world had fallen.
"Don't be anxious, brother, this is just a scene, as the son of Nanzhao, there are so many women like this around him......"
Zige looked at her amusedly: "Are you saying this to comfort me?" ”
"yes. Those women who came to the door, my brother never cared. Lian'er took it seriously, and said with a straight face, "I had to go out with him for a few days, but he didn't want to, you just had to say it and he agreed." He really has you in his heart. ”
When Zige heard this, he laughed dumbly. She didn't want to mention Mu Lixuan's teasing on the day she sent the invitation, nor did she want to answer Lian'er's question head-on, so she could only respond perfunctorily: "Hmm." You don't need to worry too much, the dancing girls in Fengtaifang are all Qingqi, and General Liu doesn't look like a person who lingers in the land of flowers and willows. ”
Lian'er smiled at her with relief and took Zige's hand: "It's stuffy here, and they are playing their own games." Would you like to accompany me around the yard? ”
Zige glanced at the few people who were still in the bureau and nodded helplessly.
The two walked in the house and chatted in the bright moonlight. Before I knew it, I came to the pavilion with flowing water. The sparkling moonlight reflects the ditch on the ground, like a clear white practice, and just like the silver yarn flying in Lian'er's hand at the palace banquet that night.
Zige stared at the full moon in the sky like a plate, and felt a little homesick for a while.
The full moon is missing, half a year is gone, and she is still far away from her family and country. Tonight, I don't know when there will be a day when the grievances will be revealed?
She sighed softly. The night is cool and breezy, but there is a tension in the silence. There is always a dark cloud lingering in Zige's heart, and when she heard Lian'er talk about the boat falling into the water, she suspected that someone might be behind her. Even if the official ship is sailing away, the deck will not be slippery enough to let people fall into the water, and I think maybe Lian'er drank some wine at that time and was a little uncomfortable on the ship, so she didn't notice the ill-intentioned hand behind her.
"Sister, be careful!"
As soon as she turned around, she felt that she had been knocked aside by a huge force, and the cold water splashed all over her. Lian'er screamed in horror and tried to dodge, but the black shadow that had knocked Zige away threw itself at her again, pushing her to the ground as well.
"Lian'er, don't panic, Lord Liang is right behind us." Zige saw that he couldn't come forward to rescue for a while, so he deliberately raised his voice and said loudly. When the man in black heard this, he really hesitated. In a moment, Liang Zhongzhi's anxious face was revealed outside the pavilion.
Zige jumped up from the ground and stepped forward to block the man's way, but he stepped on the beam of the house with two feet.
Liang Zhongzhi helped up the frightened Lian'er, his expression was concerned, but he couldn't speak, Lian'er nodded at Zige, indicating that she was not injured. Zige saw that she was safe and that she was accompanied by someone, so she chased her straight down the corridor.
That person's body is excellent, but Zige's physical strength is not weak. After chasing through the two houses, the man finally turned and fell into the courtyard, trying to escape the house through the weakest corner. Zige saw that he was not equipped with a knife, and his stature was slightly light, and he seemed to be not far from himself, so he bullied him forward, and kicked him in the waist when he landed on the ground.
The man didn't know that there were still pursuers behind him, and this move was quite fierce, and Zige expected that he would have no way to avoid it in the air. Unexpectedly, he used a very treacherous way to easily defuse Zige's offensive, and then landed lightly on the stone road, holding his hands on his chest, looking at Zige with interest.
Zige frowned, knowing that he had met an opponent this time, but it was a pity that he didn't have a sharp blade on his body, so he could only rely on his fists and feet to ask for advice.
She stepped forward and threw several moves in a row, pressing step by step, trying to force him back into the courtyard, but he dismantled with her unhurriedly, and seemed to be quite familiar with Zige's tricks. Zige was puzzled, and his subordinates were still making moves quietly, but when their palms were in the air, they suddenly turned around and slashed towards the man's face.
He didn't anticipate the trick, and he had time to dodge one of the blows, and the other hit him in the face solidly.
"Ouch!"
Hearing this soft exclamation, Zige's heart suddenly understood. She took the trick, snorted, and stood where she was. The man looked at her silently, then turned around and climbed out of the courtyard wall, with a clean movement.
Zige sighed softly, and was about to go back to the pavilion to see Lian'er's situation, but saw another person flash out of the corridor, coming violently, and his right palm pointed directly at her door. But she didn't dodge or dodge, but raised her face neatly. In her peripheral vision, she had already seen the familiar lake-blue beard.
"You won't even give me a chance to ask for advice again?"
Liu Yuzhang's palm stopped in front of her eyebrows, and he looked at Zige condescendingly, faintly exuding the smell of wine.
"Liu Yuzhang, you're drunk again." Zige glanced at him lightly, knowing that he had poured a lot of wine at the Yale Party just now, and a little anger swelled up inexplicably in his heart.
"Don't you feel ashamed of your father's ambition to indulge in wine all day long?"
