Outside that Peony Manor, there were some people who used to work for that Murong Chanjuan, and now they are gathered together, and these people now want to work for that Tang Zhangwei.

So, these people came together.

That Murong Chanjuan's subordinate Murong Changjian discovered those people's intentions, and he fought with those people for a while, but that Murong Changjian was very sorry to discover, there were too many of those people, and their methods were really too powerful.

Therefore, that Murong Longsword had no way to fight against that Murong Chanjuan's enemy.

Although the martial arts of that Murong Longsword were high, those people shot together, so that Murong Longsword had no power to fight back at all, and that Murong Longsword could only retreat, and then escape with injuries.

That Murong Changjian said: "I always thought that my martial arts were very high, but I didn't expect that I was just a joke, in fact, I was not an opponent at all when I fought with those people." ”

Murong Chanjuan said: "We now have that Tang Zhaozong to help us out, the sky is falling, there is a tall man on top, we don't have to worry, in fact, although our martial arts are high." However, if those low-level masters shoot together, we will be in danger. ”

The Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Leo VI, took the Lord of Lotus and a group of his men to live on the territory of the Tulip family.

Those people from the Tulip family, at first they sincerely wanted to work for Tang Zhaozong.

However, as time passed, those Tulip People found that they could not recover the losses they had suffered from Tang Zhaozong.

Therefore, these people gave up their intention to serve that Tang Zhaozong, because they knew that the more ruthless they would be for that Tang Zhaozong.

The greater the loss of the tulip family itself, so they immediately woke up, they wanted to find a new backer, and as a result, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire immediately fell into the eyes of the tulip family.

The merchants of the entire Eastern Roman Empire, they all knew that they had to be loyal to the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, but those people in the Tang Dynasty only regarded the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire as an ordinary foreign prince.

After all, not every foreign prince and indigenous leader was as majestic as the Eastern Roman Empire's Emperor Leo VI, and at the same time could gain the double trust of Tang Zhaozong and Tang Zhangwei.

In fact, that Tang Zhangwei used a lot of energy to let his subordinates control the Tang Dynasty and the overseas provinces of the Tang Dynasty.

However, in the Tang Dynasty, there was always that Tang Zhaozong who constantly wrestled with him.

In the Eastern Roman Empire, that Tang Zhangwei also wrestled with the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Leo VI, many times.

Fortunately, that Emperor Leo VI of the Eastern Roman Empire, he is not like that Tang Zhaozong, this Leo VI is a smart man.

As time passed, Leo VI gradually resigned himself to fate.

Leo VI, Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, expressed his obedience to that Tang Zhangwei.

Although when Tang Zhaozong and Tang Zhangwei made a move, Leo VI secretly sold weapons to that Tang Zhaozong in order to make money, and also provided those technicians.

However, Leo VI, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, did not work with Tang Zhaozong after all.

Therefore, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, Leo VI, had the last laugh.

That Tang Zhaozong paid a huge price in the contest with Tang Zhangwei.

Tang Zhangwei said to Wei Wan'er: "That Emperor Leo VI of the Eastern Roman Empire suddenly appeared, is this guy sitting and watching success or failure, or has something else to do!" ”

Wei Wan'er said: "It is very likely that Leo VI, the emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire, is only here to collect the debt. ”

Beautiful and plump, anxiously rubbing the deerskin thorn flower gloves. He wears a pearl-gray felt hat with curly brims and a beautiful blue feather ornament, which covers his long golden hair. The long hair cleverly encircles the face in an oval shape, the skin is fair, the lips are scarlet, and the eyebrows are jet black. It should be said that all this charm could make the young man the most charming knight, but at the moment he was in a bad mood because he was anxiously waiting for news, so he was much inferior, because he was staring at the road that had been flooded by twilight.

He was agitated and hit his left hand with his glove. The shopkeeper had just finished plucking the partridge feathers when he heard the knocking sound, and he raised his head, took off his soft hat, and asked:

ァ新ヤ~(8)~1~Chinese 網ωωω.χ~8.~1zщ.còм

"When are you going to have dinner, my lord?"

"You know, I'm not dining alone, I'm waiting for someone," he said. "When you see someone coming, you can prepare dinner."

"Ahh "Sir," said Tang Zhaozong, "it's not to blame your friend, but he's also a little too casual, whether he comes or doesn't come, it's not a good habit to make people wait." ”

"He's not like that usual, and I'm amazed at how late he was."

"I was even more amazed, I, sir, I felt sad that my roasted meat was about to burn."

In the mood, he walked into the bedroom, and his feet in his long boots rattled the floor, and then, suddenly, as if he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, he hurried to the window again.

"He's finally here!" He cried out, "Thank God! ”

In fact, because the young man had important things in his heart, he did not care at all about the beautiful song of the nightingale in the jungle. He saw the head of a knight on the other side of the jungle, but, to his great surprise, the knight went the other way, and he waited in vain. The man turned to the right and went into the jungle, and soon his felt hat was gone, indicating that he had descended from his horse to the ground. After a while, the observer standing at the window caught another glimpse of a gray coat through the sparse branches, the last rays of sunlight shining on the barrel of a short-barreled musket.

The young man standing at the window pondered. It was clear that the knight hidden in the woods was not the one he was waiting for, and it was evident from his changeable face that a certain curiosity had replaced an anxious one.

Soon, another man appeared at the bend in the road. The young man standing at the window hid himself from being discovered.

The man was also dressed in a gray coat, riding in the same way, and carrying the same shiny musket. The second person who appeared said a few words to the person who appeared first, because he was too far away from the observer, so he did not hear it. The man undoubtedly reported the situation to his accomplices, and then he disappeared behind the slope parallel to the woods, and of course he dismounted and hid behind a large rock and waited.

From the height from which the young man was standing, he could see the head in a felt hat rising above the rock. There was a little glitter next to the cap, which was the tip of the barrel of the musket.

When the aristocratic young man who was observing saw the above scene, he felt some kind of inexplicable fear, and his body shrank smaller and smaller

The young man thought and took two more steps back.

In fact, at this time, two more knights appeared at the highest point of the road. Of the two men who appeared, however, only wore a gray coat, and the other rode on a black horse, wearing a broad coat and a felt hat with a ribbon and a white feather stuck in it. The evening breeze ruffled his coat, and a rich ornament could be seen hanging diagonally from his knee-high tunic glittering.

In order to make this scene clear, the day seemed to be deliberately prolonged, for the last beam of the sun, breaking free from a dark cloud that sometimes obscured the horizon like an ink painting, suddenly illuminated the glass window of a beautiful house a hundred paces from the riverbank. The house was hidden behind a thick grove of trees, and without the light that had escaped the clouds, the young man who was observing would not have seen it. This sudden increase in light caused the observer standing at the window to see at first that the spies hiding in the woods sometimes turned their eyes to the entrance of the village, sometimes to the small house with its glittering glass windows, and then he saw that the men in gray coats seemed to have great respect for the man with the white feather in his hat, and took off his hat when he spoke to him. At last he saw a shining window open, and a woman appeared on the balcony, leaned over as if she were waiting for someone, and as if she was afraid of being seen, she hurried into the room.

As she walked in, the sun was about to set. As the sun faded, the ground floor of the house became more and more submerged in darkness, and the light gradually abandoned the window, rose to the top of the stone roof, and flew like a golden arrow like a turning wind vane, and finally disappeared completely.

For all those who are wise-minded, considerable signs have been discerned, and they have been able to be convinced of something, or at least certain possibilities.

Perhaps these people were watching the lonely little house, for a woman had been on the balcony for a moment; Perhaps the woman was waiting for the same person as the men, or had a completely different purpose, and perhaps the one being waited for would come out of the village, and therefore pass through the inn, which was in the middle of the road from the village to the woods, which in turn was halfway from the inn to the little lonely house; Perhaps the knight with the white feather in his hat was the leader of the horsemen in the gray coat; Perhaps the zeal with which he rode his horse was to be able to see further, and the leader was suspicious, and certainly for his own benefit.

When the young nobleman sorted out a series of ideas, the door of his room opened, and the shopkeeper of Tang Zhaozong walked in.

"My dear innkeeper," said the young nobleman, without asking the innkeeper to state his reasons for coming in for him, for he had already guessed the reason, "come here, and tell me if my offer was too abrupt." To whom did the little house that we glimpse belong to in the midst of the poplar and maple groves, which resembles a little white spot? ”

The shopkeeper followed the direction he was pointing, touched his forehead, and said:

"Honestly, sometimes that house belongs to this man, and sometimes to that person," he tried with a mocking look, "you can also live in it, if you want to find solitude." Maybe you want to hide yourself there, maybe you just want to hide someone else there. ”

The young nobleman's face turned red.

"But now, who lives in this house?" He asked.

"A young lady who was seen as a widow. The ghosts of her first husband and perhaps her second husband came to see her. There is only one thing to point out: there seems to be an agreement between the two ghosts, and they never come at the same time. ”

The young nobleman smiled and asked:

"Since when did this beautiful widow live in this lonely house that is very conducive to the appearance of ghosts?"

"From two months ago. In addition, she takes special care to avoid others. I dare say that during these two months, no one dared to boast of having seen her, because she rarely came out, and when she did, she wore a veil. A very charming little maid came to my shop every morning to order food, and we sent someone to deliver it, and she took the order in the front hall, paid generously, and quickly closed the door so that my little man could eat the soup. For example, tonight there is a sumptuous meal, and you see me plucking quail and quail feathers, and I am prepared for her. ”

"For whom did she arrange this dinner?"

"Probably one of the two ghosts I told you?"

"Have you seen these two ghosts?"

"Yes, only at night, after the sun sets, or before dawn."

"I am sure you will find them, my dear Mr. Tang Zhaozong, for from the first words you have spoken I have seen that you are a careful observer. So, what special do you find in the expression of the so-called two ghosts? ”

"It's half past seven," said the young nobleman, who took out a beautiful pocket watch from the pocket of his vest and looked at it, which he had actually seen many times, "and you have no time to waste. ”

"Oh! It's almost ready, rest assured; But I'm here to ask when it's time for your meal, and I'm going to tell you that I've just remade your dinner. Since your friend has been so long late, he can come in an hour. ”

"Listen to me, my dear innkeeper," said the young knight. He seemed to treat such a big thing as a meal on time as an inconsequential matter, "Please don't worry about our dinner, even if the person I'm waiting for comes, it doesn't matter, because we have something to say." If dinner is not ready, we can talk first, and if dinner is ready, then we will eat first and talk later. ”

After hearing this, Master Tang Zhaozong made a deep curtsy salute, and the young nobleman nodded slightly, which was considered a return salute. The shopkeeper walked out.

The young nobleman stood curiously at the window, thinking to himself: Now I understand everything. The lady waited for someone from Murong Zhou, and those who were guarding the slope tried to catch the woman before knocking on the door, and had something to say to him.

At that moment, as if to confirm the prediction of our perceptive observer, the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the left. The young nobleman's gaze flashed towards the slope, peering at the ambushers. Although the night began to blur his surroundings, he seemed to feel some people leave the branches, others straightening up, and the view from the rocks made his ears tremble. So, he quickly turned in the direction of Murong Zhou, trying to see the person who was threatened by this terrible voice.
