Chapter 14: Burning the Knife
Xiliang and Bai Yun turned left and right all the way, and after walking for a while, they got into a small alley.
But as soon as I entered the alley, before I arrived at the Burning Knife Tavern in Shui You, I saw a man in Tsing Yi standing at the end of the alley.
Bai Yun was the first to be alert, and before Xi Liang could react, he had already pulled out the three-foot red hidden blade hanging from his waist, looking like he was facing a great enemy.
Maybe because he was standing far away, Xi Liang couldn't see the appearance of this person, but Bai Yun's actions like this, Xi Liang also understood a little that the man in Tsing Yi standing at the end of the alley must be very dangerous.
She rarely saw Bai Yun like this.
Seeing Bai Yun draw his sword, the man in green clothes on the opposite side was still motionless, and he didn't seem to care at all.
The two sides were in a stalemate for less than a minute, but the man in green shook his head and disappeared in an instant.
"The person on the other side is a master, princess, let's go back to the palace!"
Bai Yun, who has never spoken much, is frowning tightly at this time, and the solemn scene on his face has not been seen for a long time.
When was it, it seems to have been when he was still in the royal court.
That time, Bai Yun was almost killed by Mohu's iron cavalry for her, and she almost became the princess of Mohu Shan Yu that bad old man, fortunately, her grandfather was there.
It was also from that time that Bai Yun almost lost her life because of herself, so her grandfather rewarded her and made her his guardian.
At that time, Xiliang was very distressed, what kind of reward is this.
But looking at the excitement in Bai Yun's eyes and the envy in the eyes of other clansmen, Xiliang also suppressed the doubts in his heart.
Since then, Baiyun, who had a lot of fun with him, has disappeared and has become a slave, and there are many fewer words.
Bai Yun saw that Xiliang was stunned in place, thinking that Xiliang had remembered something, and asked cautiously: "Princess, you-are all right!" ”
Bai Yun was about to ask Xi Liang if he remembered who the other party was, but how to ask, and after a pause, he had to say, "It's okay!" ”
What Bai Yun didn't know was that Xiliang didn't see the appearance of the man in green clothes at the end of the alley at all, so how could he think of it.
Gu Jian, why did he appear here, was it accidental or deliberate?
Could it be that he also knew about Li Chengde's deposition, so he wanted to snatch Xiliang.
Bai Yun's heart was a little confused.
"I'm fine, I just can't think of some things!"
Xiliang shook his head, and then said: "Since you have arrived at the door of Sister Shui's shop, how can you not go in, how can you say that this is also an imperial city, so what's the danger." ”
Xiliang didn't want to go immediately, so Bai Yun stopped persuading, she always did.
If there is really any danger, she will carry it, and if she can't bear it, she will die in front of Xiliang.
Bai Yun thought so in his heart, and stepped into the tavern with Xiliang.
As soon as he entered the tavern, Shui You rushed up affectionately, the hairpin on his head, and the bells on his wrists and ankles rang in bursts.
Shui You put his arm around Xiliang's shoulders and said with a smile: "If you don't come again, the two jars of good wine I left for you won't be left." ”
Xi Liang looked at Shui You's blue eyes, it was so good-looking, every time he came to look at it, he didn't feel that he could see enough.
"Thank you, Sister Shui!"
Hearing that Shui You had left a good wine for himself, Xiliang thanked him obediently, and his originally gloomy mood was much better.
Shui You is a native of Mobei, originally followed the business travel to Chang'an to make money, and later simply opened a tavern in Chang'an City, although the tavern is a little remote, but the wine is not afraid of deep alleys, but there are a lot of guests.
It's just that few of these Chinese and Han people sit in taverns to drink, and they generally buy wine and leave, or let the little guy come to buy wine.
Xiliang knew that this was the prejudice of the Han people, just like those ladies in the palace treated themselves.
Therefore, the only people who can sit down and drink in this tavern are those who have traveled in the past.
Not long after I sat down, it was getting dark, and soon it began to rain.
The autumn rain continued, and the stone tiles on the roof made a crisp sound.
The Persian guests sitting at the adjacent table seemed to be intrigued by the rain, and took out a piccolo and whimpered and played.
Xiliang listened to this tune, with a little desolation, with a little liveliness, although it is not the tune of his hometown, but it is also different from the soft tune of the Han people, which is very kind.
Xiliang knew that he was really homesick.
But according to the rules, daughters who marry on the grassland are not allowed to return to Ningning, just like when she went to see her grandfather, A-Niang also wanted to see her grandfather, but she could only let herself say a few words and couldn't meet.
With the sound of the flute, many guests also took out their own instruments to play, or simply played songs. Several guests pleaded with Shui You to dance, but Shui You did not refuse, jumped on the table generously, and began to dance.
The women on the grassland are not like the women in the Central Plains, they are really more frank.
Looking at Shui You's enthusiastic dancing, accompanied by mixed music and the sound of whistling, Xi Liang felt that his head was a little groggy.
In a daze, I saw a handsome man appear at the door of the store, holding a jar of wine in his arms, and slowly walked towards the table where he was sitting.
Li Chengde went to the Xiaoyao Palace for a walk, worthy of the emperor's reward, although the location should be a little remote under Li Chengde's strong request, but the whole mansion is extremely luxurious.
When he was going, the plaque of the Xiaoyao Palace, which had just been replaced, and the plaque on the ground read "Royal Palace", and Li Chengde knew that his father had rewarded him with a palace outside.
No wonder it is unusually clean as soon as you come here, and the flowers and plants are all traces of repair, so it seems that there is no problem with staying here.
After walking around, Li Chengde asked the guards to go back on their own, and walked in the direction of the Dream Master Pavilion alone.
As soon as I arrived at the place, I saw a jar of royal wine at the door, and I was slightly stunned, and the appearance of Xiliang appeared in my mind.
Looks like this girl has been here.
Thinking about this time, Xiliang would definitely not return to the palace, so he simply walked to a small alley with the wine jar in his arms.
Almost every time Xiliang comes out, he always goes to a tavern, and Li Chengde has known this information for a long time.
But after walking for a while, the weather changed as soon as it was said, and it started to rain.
Under the flow of energy, his clothes were not wet.
As soon as I entered the alley, I heard a burst of music and singing that was different from the folk, which was quite desolate and tragic outside the plug.
After walking a few steps, I arrived at my destination, and looked at the wooden sign hanging at the door of this small shop, on which was the burning knife.
