Chapter 288: The Land of Chicken Feathers
Yuhuatai, Guangmo Pavilion, two-story attic.
At this time, there was a scene of drunken gold fans inside and outside the Golden Court.
There are hollow glazed windows embedded in the two carved powder walls on the left and right, and the scenery in the pavilion looms on the gorgeous windows. There are a few lanterns that are about to burn out on the overhead level, and the dim light and shadow are reflected in the narrow aisle.
A few handmaidens with good faces holding the plates in their hands and stepping on the flowing steps, melted into a dark shadow, and then disappeared at the end of the aisle.
Leave him alone with a pair of deep eyes hovering on it.
The dull bells and drums slowly sent the hearty laughter of Emperor Mocang outside the Golden Court, staring at the quietly rotating shadow of the lamp, he seemed to see Emperor Mocang's smiling expression.
At this moment, he knew very well in his heart that his goal was outside the Golden Court, just a few steps away from him, and from this, he could go straight to the Golden Court by entering the second floor.
His two fists were clenched tightly, his eyes slowly retracted, and he quickly gave up the idea that had sprung up in his heart.
The top priority is how to reach the third floor through the second floor of Guangmo Pavilion, if too much time is wasted here, the situation of Bai Bait on Yuhuatai will be more dangerous, and he must rush to the third floor of Guangmo Pavilion to take the opportunity to kill Emperor Mocang before the end of the Yuhuatai singer's dance.
The people of the Mocang Imperial Family on the second floor must be the most heavily guarded, but everything is urgent, so he has to take a risk.
"Who?" "Stopβ"
At the last moment.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Strictly guard, don't slack off! Go ahead! β
"Yes!"
In the pavilion, in front of the painting screen, on the bronze mirror, a cold face is reflected.
"You go down first, no one is allowed to enter without an order from the palace."
"Yes......"
The two maids carefully put down the jade comb, humbly and silently withdrew.
Mo Cang looked at the painting screen in the mirror calmly, and said, "...... Don't come unharmed. β
"Why lie to her." It took a long time to look at the masked man in the mirror before he spoke.
Mo Cang Wuxian didn't answer Jiang Li, but just asked: "She, is she okay?" β
"Why lie to her!" His voice suddenly became heavy.
"The answer that won't be there now will be later."
β¦β¦
"Who the hell are you?"
"Who am I. In the past, I always felt that when I took off my mask, I was Li Yu, and when I put on my mask, I was the prince of Mocang. But now, I don't even know who I am. Everyone lives on their own. β
β¦β¦
"You know why I'm here."
"I know."
"So, we're enemies!"
β¦β¦
He didn't answer, just got up and glanced at the painting screen, "Big brother, take care of her for me." I wish you a triumphant success, too. β
The desert left without a trace, and in the bronze mirror, the figure behind the painting screen was particularly lonely.
Li Sang grate jade year, January 6, Xiangyu, the sun is shining.
Under the shade of the trees, the two sat in the carriage for a while.
"Baibait, what are you looking at?" Will leave asked curiously.
Bai Bait handed a hidden weapon in his hand to Jiang Li, "I'm thinking about the people who are chasing us along the way." I have a feeling that the chase we encountered in Qin Huai should not be the same as the chase we encountered after leaving Qin Huai. β
Jiang Li looked at the hidden weapon, and suddenly frowned and asked, "Where did you find this hidden weapon?" β
"On the night of the Deserted Moon Inn, I met the group of people in black for the second time." She couldn't help but stare at him suspiciously and asked, "What's wrong?" Is there anything strange about it? β
"See for yourself." He placed the weapon in a place where the sunlight was dazzling, and explained: "The texture of this weapon is obviously different from other weapons, and if you look closely, you can see the subtle dragon patterns. β
"Dragon?" She did see the dragon pattern that Jiang Li said, and this dragon pattern should be Li Sang's style, "So, this secret weapon is from Li Sang's royal family?" β
Jiang Li nodded.
If it is the royal family of Lisan, then the man in black who pursues them can only be sent by Princess Lisan or Prince Lisang. Bai Bait thought and said: "I am very familiar with the person sent by Princess Li Sang, and I remember all the faces, if Li Sang Fengyu wants to send someone to completely kill us, she will not hide it, after all, it is not the first time for her." If it was Li Sang Feijing, then there was no need to order some masked people to kill us, he only needed to make a list of us wanted in the whole area. β
Jiang Li pinched the hidden weapon, and suddenly remembered something, "This kind of hidden weapon should only be used by the guards who are subordinate to the monarch!" I came across it a few times a few years ago when I came to Lesan to do a mission! That's exactly what the guards were using at that time! β
"You mean, those men in black who are chasing us were secretly sent by the Monarch of Lissan to assassinate us?" There was a hint of surprise in Bai Bait's eyes.
was shocked by Bai Bait's question, and she was a little speechless, what did she say about the monarch of Lisan......
"Who will be the monarch of Lisan today?" Such a question suddenly jumped into her brain, and she secretly thought to herself, the only thing left in the current Li Sang royal family is Li Sang Fengyu and Li Sang Feijing, so wouldn't it be Li Sang Feijing who succeeded to the throne? "Li Sang Feijing? How could it be Li Sang Feijing?! "Ranwen
"What?" Caught off guard, he was forced to look at her, and his heartbeat seemed to skip a beat.
She hurriedly explained: "I mean, there is no reason why these men in black were sent by Li Sang Feijing. β
Seeing that she was confused, Jiang Li hurriedly put away the hidden weapon, "White bait, don't think about it." Is it my lifelong enemy? I have so many people's blood on my hands, and now that I am in trouble, someone will take the opportunity to do it. Originally, I came to take you to Nanjing, but I didn't expect it to be because of me, and it was involved-"
"Wait." Bai Bait interrupted and said, "Didn't you say that this secret weapon came from the royal family-"
He couldn't help but smile and argued: "The people in the rivers and lakes are good at disguise, and sometimes in order not to reveal their identities, they will forge the weapons of other sects for their own use, so as to confuse right and wrong. So it is also possible that this hidden weapon was forged. β
Bai Bait nodded hesitantly, he didn't really understand Jiangli's words, the forged secret weapon was not difficult to understand, but who in the rivers and lakes was so bold that he dared to blame the monarch?
Jiang Li looked at the sky, then at Bai Bait, and said in a relaxed tone: "Bai Bait, it's not too early, let's go forward and find a place to have lunch!" β
"Okay." She gathered her thoughts for a moment, then helped her to get into the carriage, "Be careful, slow down......
In the carriage, Jiang Li pinched the fist of the hidden weapon, and beat his forehead with self-pity, regretting it very much, why did he say the dragon pattern......
He leaned on the window of the car tiredly, and when he closed his eyes, his mind suddenly jumped to what happened on the second floor of Guangmo Pavilion in Yuhuatai......
He knew that the secret weapon used by the man in black was not fake, but the person who sent the man in black to hunt them down would be that person?
At that moment, he recalled a lot of things, Guang Mo Pavilion, guillotine......
At noon, a people's shop is open on the side of the road, ten steps west outside the shop is the crossroads, the pedestrians are very dense, although it is the era of war and chaos, but the business of this shop is still optimistic.
As soon as the carriage stopped, there was a little second named Zhang Yazi who vacated the time to help lead the horse and greeted: "Hello two guest officers!" It's a hard journey! β
"Be careful, watch your step." Bai Bait was just concentrating on helping the general get out of the car, and at this time, he suddenly heard a riot at the intersection he had just passed-
"Runβthe wind man is making trouble again!"
"What's going on! Real or fake? β
"It's the news from the fat big mouth of Hengma Village! said that he just saw the stone blind man chopping wood on the opposite side of Matuo Mountain was beaten by the scimitar of the wind man, and his body was divided! Died a miserable death! β
For a while, people were panicked.
"Let's run first!"
β¦β¦
On the side of the road, ghostly, whirring -
In the blink of an eye, the five or six tables in front of the shop all ran away......
"Eh, eh! Didn't give any money! The boss was so anxious that he threw down the big scoop for cooking and shouted at Xiao Er: "Zhang Duck, go chase it!" β
Zhang Yazi, who was leading the horse, was half a beat slower in consciousness, and chased after him with a grunt: "Hey-"
Bai Bait and Jiang Li glanced at each other, Jiang Li nodded and made a decision.
"Boss, two bowls of scallion oil noodles."
"Okay!"
The two of them found a clean table and sat down.
"Come, two guest officers, drink soup first to quench your thirst!" The attentive boss brought two bowls of soup.
Bai Bait glanced at the messy tables in front of the shop and asked, "Boss, what's going on with that rumor?" β
"The two guest officers are not locals, right?" The bulging eyes rolled, and the boss sighed and said: "Since Qin Huai was saved, the top has sent heavy troops to encircle and suppress the wind people in various parts of Lisang, but ah, like us, a small land with no grain and six animals is not prosperous, I don't know what year and month it will take to escape from the scourge of the wind people!" Many of the wind thieves who were originally stationed in large places were undead, but they were temporarily powerless to resist, and they turned to some small places to invade and plunder. These days, people here are basically living in hiding. β
"How many people are there here?" White Bait asked.
The boss rolled his eyes and calculated: "About two hundred!" β
"So where are these wind people mainly concentrated?" Will leave the question.
"On the opposite hill, Matuo Mountain, the camp of the wind people is set up at the bottom of the mountain. You don't know how bad these wind people are, and every now and then they go to the villagers' houses to plunder the grain-"
"Boss! When is the noodles good. White Bait stared at the boss.
The corners of the boss's tight lips loosened, and he pulled out an honest smile, "Right now, right away!" Waiting, waiting, waiting......"
A few blink of an eye, "It's back, it's back!" It's all back! β
Xiao Erzhang Duck rushed back panting from the intersection, followed by some dazzling guest officers, "I'm really annoyed!" This fat mouth does some damned things! β
Suddenly a pile of grass and weeds grew in the desolate shop.
"But it scares me, come on, come on, keep eating, keep eating......" A few buttocks were re-tied to the bench, and wine glasses rang in the air.
"Zhang Yazi, my dishes on this table are cold, I'll change them for my uncle!"
"Oh, uncle, don't be like this, take a look, can you heat it up again? You eliminate gas and eliminate ......"
Zhang Yazi, he's so busy.
At this time, the scallion oil noodles were served on the table, and Bai Bait retracted his gaze, picked up the chopsticks and habitually sandwiched half of the noodles in his bowl into the bowl that was about to leave.
She habitually picks all the lean meat in her bowl into her bowl.
