Nakagen General's Mansion, late at night. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Zhong Yang was in the ancestral hall, lit three incense sticks, and the spiritual position on the case read: The spirit of the teacher Zhong Mu. took the incense and bowed three times: "Master, the apprentice will be able to avenge you soon." ”
Zhong Yang was the proud disciple of Zhong Mu, the former general of the Zhongyuan Dynasty, and since Zhong Mu was assassinated, he was appointed by the Zhongyuan Emperor as a general to take over the work of his master.
In addition, he burned another three sticks of incense and bowed three times to the spiritual seat placed next to Zhong Mu. The spirit card reads: The spirit of the biological mother Tan Mengyue.
"Mother, the child has already found out where the murderer who ordered the burning of Mengyuelou that day and killed all the people in Mengyuelou has appeared. The child is not filial, and it took so long to find out the whereabouts of the wicked man. But tomorrow, the child will go to Nanyong in person, and he will definitely be able to kill the enemy and avenge his mother! ”
Zhong Yang said, knelt down and kowtowed to the two spiritual positions on the case for three times before getting up and leaving.
As soon as he came out of the ancestral hall, he saw Zhong Shan. Zhong Shan is Zhong Mu's daughter and the lord of Lingshan County, who was personally appointed by the emperor.
"Shanshan, why are you here?"
"You're going to leave tomorrow, and when I heard Ah Fu say you're in the ancestral hall, I'll come and see you." Zhong Shan looked at him reluctantly, "Brother Yang, can't I really go with you?" ”
Zhong Yang touched her head dotingly: "I promised the master to take good care of you." I don't know what I'll encounter along the way to Nanyong this time, and I must not take you to take this risk. You stay in the house obediently and wait for me to come back. ”
Zhong Shan looked aggrieved, took Zhong Yang's hand and shook it: "No! I'm not afraid of any danger, I just want to follow you. ”
Zhong Yang pretended to be serious: "It's not impossible to go with me." Originally, I was the envoy to Nanyong on behalf of Zhongyuan, and I took a county lord with me, maybe which prince of Nanyong took a fancy to you, and he could also marry or something, don't you say? ”
"Marriage? I don't want it! Zhong Shan hurriedly let go of Zhong Yang's hand, and pouted dissatisfiedly, "I just don't go." ”
Zhong Yang took her little hand and comforted, "That's good." Brother Yang must remember to bring some fun back to you. ”
Zhong Shan's big eyes turned slyly, and he took out his finger tail to indicate the hook: "A word is a certainty!" ”
Looking at Zhong Shan's outstretched finger, Zhong Yang was stunned, but soon stretched out his tail finger to hook with her.
"It's a deal. Let's go back and rest! If you don't get up early tomorrow morning to see me off, someone will regret it and cry again. Zhong Yang laughed.
"Who is crying! I don't cry my nose! Brother Yang is so bad, ignore you! Zhong Shan was teased by Zhong Yang, so she was so ashamed that she hurriedly took the maid back to the room.
Looking at Zhong Shan's distant back, Zhong Yang's heart was both sweet and bitter. The sweet thing is that when he was in the most difficult time, he still had Zhong Shan with him. The bitter thing is that once upon a time, there was also a little girl who would always take out her little tail finger and ask for a hook when she made an appointment with him.
"Tan Yushu! Why do you always talk and don't talk! I don't believe you this time, come and pull the hook! ”
"Pull the hook, pull the hook, who is afraid of whom!"
……
Zhong Yang looked at the dark night in the distance: Xiaoni, where are you now? Do you know that Tan Yushu has been looking for you for a long time.
"Hello!" Gu Tianyu, who was thinking about how to kill Concubine Rong in the room, sneezed, rubbed her nose, and continued her contemplation.
Concubine Rong is Mu Hibiscus, the original Oiran of Mengyue Tower. As for why she appeared in Nanyong's harem now, Gu Tianyu couldn't help but sneer: This Mu Furong is afraid that it is someone from Nange.
When Xiao Ni, who was only five years old at the time, fled from the chaotic capital, she saw Mu Furong standing in front of Nanyong's generals in the dark, and brutally ordered to kill all the people in Mengyue Tower who were not burned to death or escaped, and there were bustards inside. Although the old bustard is not good to Xiao Ni, he has always been very good to Mu Furong as an Oiran, at that time, Gu Tianyu covered his mouth in the dark, watching so many familiar faces in Mengyue Tower begging Mu Furong to let them go, but Mu Furong just sneered and watched them being killed one by one. The most important thing is that for Lifang, who was the only one who had given warmth to Xiaoni, Mu Furong did not kill her, but let dozens of soldiers rape her to death! At that time, Gu Tianyu knew that Mu Furong's gentle and kind appearance was hiding such a vicious heart.
At the Mid-Autumn Festival chrysanthemum banquet that day, Gu Tianyu spent a lot of effort to suppress the anger in her heart. The burning of Mengyue Tower must also be the handiwork of Mengyue Tower. Gu Tianyu looked at the table blankly, but found that Tan Yushu didn't leave a single object for her to think about, and lowered her eyes lonely. But soon, she raised her head again, but there was a strong killing intent in her eyes. Hatred told her: As long as she kills Mu Furong, she will be able to avenge Tan Yushu!
Thinking so, she took her soft sword and went straight to the palace.
With Gu Tianyu's skills and familiarity with the Nanyong Palace that day, she easily avoided the patrolling guards and came to the harem. It's just that at this time, Gu Tianyu made a difficulty: where is Concubine Rong's palace?
"Who are you? How can it fly? A soft and glutinous voice sounded.
Gu Tianyu was shocked, turned his head, and found a little girl in a pink palace dress climbing on a branch looking at her, her big eyes full of curiosity. The palace clothes on her body were obviously worn indiscriminately, and the belt was also tied indiscriminately. It's about four or five years old, I'm afraid of which princess.
At this time, in order to survey the situation in the harem, Gu Tianyu stood on the tile roof of a palace, and the branches of this tree extended to the place where she stood, and the little girl hugged the branches tightly, only three or four arms away from her. It must have been seen by the little girl when she was just walking on the roof with light work.
Gu Tianyu smiled and replied softly in a low voice: "I'm a night ranger, and I'm specifically responsible for inspecting whether there are any bad guys." ”
The little girl's face adored: "It's amazing! In order to show her admiration, she wanted to applaud Gu Tianyu, but she didn't want to let go of the trunk of the tree with her hand, and her body would not be able to maintain her balance and fall straight under the tree. If you fall to the ground like this, you have to be hurt.
"Ahh The little girl cried out in horror and fell into a soft, fragrant embrace.
Gu Tianyu hugged the girl and fell to the ground with a twist, and hurriedly made a silent gesture to her.
The girl was obviously frightened, her two big eyes were still watery, but looking at Gu Tianyu, who was dressed in a strong suit and was so heroic, she suddenly grinned, and gave this "Night Ranger" a big hug without thinking about it.
Gu Tianyu was stunned by the sudden hug, the little girl's body was soft, and her little hands hugged her tightly. Gu Tianyu's experience seemed to have been lightly touched by something, very soft, very soft, a feeling that had not been seen for a long time, inexplicable, indescribable. His hand stiffened, so he gently stroked the girl's back and said softly: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's okay." ”
The little girl smiled, her eyes bent, and the tears that were originally lying in her eye sockets flowed down her cheeks, wetting Gu Tianyu's shoulders. She embarrassedly let go of the hand that hugged Gu Tianyu, wiped her tears, and asked excitedly, "Sister Nightcrawler!" Why haven't I seen you before? ”
"Uh......" Gu Tianyu stammered, "because...... Since my sister is a nightcrawler, of course, she doesn't appear until you fall asleep, how can she be seen by you? By the way, why don't you sleep so late and run to the tree? Gu Tianyu hurriedly opened the topic, for fear that the little girl would ask again, she had never been a good liar.
The little girl stuck out her tongue: "I want to see what this palace looks like when viewed from above, but on weekdays, the concubine is so close that she won't let me climb the tree." I had to wait until they were all asleep and sneak out to crawl. "That little mouth pouts, cheeks bulge, so not aggrieved.
Seeing that Gu Tianyu's heart melted, he had been a killer for a long time, and he hadn't been exposed to such innocence and cuteness for a long time. I don't know why, she likes this girl from the bottom of her heart, although she is in the palace, she can maintain this innocence, and it seems that her mother protects her well.
"It's so high that you can climb up by yourself, it's dangerous. Aren't you afraid of falling? Gu Tianyu was rarely patient, and his tone was not gentle for many years.
"I ......"
"Your Royal Highness! Your Highness the Princess! Mama's voice came, and footsteps quickly approached.
The little girl pouted, and it was annoying to be found again.
Gu Tianyu hurriedly took the little girl's hands and explained: "Don't tell others that you saw me tonight, understand?" ”
The little girl nodded, and just as she wanted to say something, there was no one in front of her.
"When will I see you again?" ....... said.
"Ouch, Your Highness Princess, why did you run out again, do you know ......."
"Got it! Got it! Huo Mingqian, the fifth-year-old ninth princess, stomped her feet and said annoyedly, "If you don't say it, if I don't say it, the mother concubine won't know about it, and she won't scold you!" After that, he rolled his eyes and wanted to leave, this Gui Mama is the most annoying.
"Who said that if Mama Gui doesn't say it, I don't know?"
