Chapter 32: The Last Night of the First Life (3)
Broken Flower City is an important town at the junction of Hu and Han, where foreigners beg for a living, most of them are exiled to this criminal minister and his family, who does not have a deep hatred of blood and a sea of blood? No one wants to talk about the past, let alone expose the scars of others.
And this Hou Ye suddenly asked, time flies, and Yu Qiao now has words on his lips, but he doesn't know where to start.
After a long time, she sighed with a sad smile: "Yuqiao is hardworking, and now she is alone, Hou Ye still doesn't ask!" ”
Marquis Zhenyuan was stunned for a moment, although she was like two people back then, but Yan Jing's accent was still pure, but it was a little different, every time he spoke to the end of the sentence, he would pick the tip of his tongue slightly, and now although the voice was rough, it was still like back then, it seemed to be picked on the tip of his heart.
At that time, she was only a sixth-rank cavalry lieutenant, and it was only because of her brother that she had seen and admired it at a glance.
Soon she left the cabinet, married a wife, and she hurriedly became a family member, so she returned to the border to kill the enemy, and in the long yellow sand, with the white moon and cold stars, she immediately drank the spicy and astringent liquor with her head high, warming her heart that had been fed cold by blood.
The last time I heard the news of her, I heard my wife talk to her maidservant, she was divorced by her husband's family in seven ways, but there was no sadness or tears, she was really a shameless person, sneering, and her tone was light.
On that day, he was drunk and entered this spring courtyard for the first time, and met Qin Xiyue, who was also from Yanjing City, and in a trance, he actually regarded her as the second girl of Chu, and he loved her all night.
Marquis Zhenyuan stared at Yuqiao's face, and couldn't help pursing her lips, her face was pale and transparent, glowing with heavy ashes, and there were dots of traces on the clothes on her chest, for him, the person who licked the blood at the edge of the knife, no matter how long the blood coagulated and changed color, he still recognized it.
She's been so sick!
Some kind of complicated and indistinguishable love was tumbling in my heart, and I couldn't help it after all, and asked out: "If you start over, are you willing to marry me?" ”
Yu Qiao really didn't expect this majestic general to ask such a childlike word. couldn't help but raise his eyes, unexpectedly, his angular face like a carving was tense, and his deep eyes that couldn't see through his mind stared at her seriously and intently, as if her jade answer would affect the future life of this Zhenyuan Marquis.
It's my own imagination! The night was hazy, the white moon was bleak, how could he see through his subtle expression so clearly?
"Would you marry me if you had to do it all over again?" He asked again in a deep voice.
Will people start all over again? Unless the universe shifts, the heavens and the earth are turned upside down, and the sun and the moon shine together!
Tears welled up in Yuqiao's eyes, she shook her head slightly, biting her lip and being silent, so she never saw that the face of the Marquis of Zhenyuan was full of disappointment.
A slight cracking sound tore through the trees, and the years of Rong Ma Liang made him look at it vigilantly, and his eyes instantly darkened coldly.
He quickly stuffed an oiled paper bag in his hand into Yuqiao's hand, and said in a low voice: "Tonight, we will thoroughly investigate the major corruption case in Liuchun Courtyard, which involves the senior officials in Beijing, you leave quickly, don't delay." ”
"Yes!" Yuqiao was a little overwhelmed, not knowing whether to take it or refuse politely.
"Run!" Zhenyuanhou's face was solemn and cold, and he pushed her easily, he didn't expect Yuqiao to be so thin and weak, so he pushed her to stumble.
But he didn't have time to care about her, turned around and jumped up, pointed a phosphostone on his toes, and flew away, and disappeared in an instant.
Yuqiao walked out of the Liuchun Courtyard and turned back, thinking that there was still a fire in the stove, and there were piles of firewood on the side, and now the weather was dry and dry, but the wind was rising, and if it burned and ignited, the consequences would be out of control.
But before she could think of it, she was bending over and smashing the fire extinguishing star with iron tongs, when someone broke in, and the force was so strong that the broken door panel couldn't help but let out a broken moan.
Yu Qiao hurriedly stood up, looked back and collided with the frightened eyes of the comer, and they were all stunned, it was actually the Hou Ye, the robe was soaked with large patches of blood, and his arm was already injured, and a stream of blood ran down the tear on his arm's clothes, slipping down. And the sword in his hand, because of the smell of blood, became more and more cold and splashed, and it was extremely fierce.
"Didn't you leave? You," he roared angrily, and there was a messy mix of footsteps in the distance, getting closer and closer.
Yu Qiao didn't have time to think about it, ran to his side and hurriedly pointed to the dark place and said: "Hou Ye, go around the pyre, there is a secret door on the inside of the right wall, which leads directly to the front hall of Liuchun Courtyard, go quickly." ”
"You!"
"Quick!" Yuqiao's face was cold, like frost, and his voice swept away the cowardice and softness before.
Marquis Zhenyuan gritted his teeth and walked away. Yuqiao didn't look at him, and wiped the blood on the ground with thatch to bury it.
A man in black who was not tall covered his face and took the lead in grabbing the door, the stove room was dirty and messy, and only a woman sat in front of the stove and slowly picked it up.
Someone entered in twos and threes, rummaging around to poke and stab to no avail, he rushed to Yuqiao's side, Weng Sheng Weng said angrily: "Have you ever seen a man come in?" ”
"The black light is blind, how can anyone come to this filthy place!" Yuqiao didn't look at him, and replied lightly.
He was about to ask again, when someone outside the door exclaimed: "Master Long, the officers and soldiers have come to this backyard, there are many of them, we have to retreat quickly!" ”
The man said no more, and when he turned away, he glanced coldly at Yu Qiao twice, and then left with the group as fast as lightning, and in the blink of an eye, there was silence, as if the foreground had never happened.
Yu Qiao sat silently for a moment before he had the strength to stand up, slowly approached in the direction where Hou Ye went, opened the pyre, the secret door was half open and half hidden, and the building was already empty.
She breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to re-pile the firewood, but inadvertently found it bulging high in the thatch next to the secret door.
She crouched down and opened it, revealing a blue handkerchief wrapped around something.
After being stunned for a long time, Yu Qiao untied the veil, with ten taels of silver, and a string of auspicious cloud pattern jade, as if it had just been untied from the man's waist, implying the pulse body temperature, and the touch of the jade was round and crystalline, it must be a rare thing of great value.
She thought about it, and took out the oil paper bag from her arms, opened it, and it was actually placed on the table in Qin Xiyue's room, and she peeked at it a few times, the rich food in Yanjing from afar.
Sweet osmanthus cakes, crispy mandarin duck cakes and other dim sum are piled up, and the aroma is overflowing.
This Hou Ye!
Looking at the silver, touching Peiyu, and tasting this sweet osmanthus cake, for so many years, Yuqiao has been tortured by life, and she has long been ignorant of where her tears come from, and at this time, in this cold and murderous night, she forced out her tears.
But she smiled hard, how could such a precious Peiyu, a mother-in-law who burned a fire, have it? No matter which one you take as a supplement, you are afraid that you will be in prison in the blink of an eye and you will not be able to break free.
That straightforward and iron-blooded Hou Ye, how could he not have thought of this! It must be anxious and irritable, and I sincerely pity myself, which makes Yuqiao, even if he comes back again, it will be difficult to repay him!
Crying, crying, laughing, and laughing, such an irrepressible impact was no longer something that a body like her could bear, only to feel hot flashes in her throat, and the fishy sweet blood was thick, she finally bent over and vomited, splashing a shocking red on the ground.
After gasping for a while, Yuqiao waited for her breath to slowly calm down, and carefully wrapped the leftover pastries again, then straightened up and slowly left the place eroded by the darkness.
The official road is very quiet, it is rare to see one or two dark figures, the shops and auxiliaries are closed much earlier than in the past, the city of broken flowers is placed on the border, and it is a military town, and the people here are extra vigilant, it can be seen that there is going to be a big incident tonight.
