Liu Qingyin's gratitude to him was a few percent, and Zhang Xiang couldn't guess it in his heart.

I just want to end this meeting with her tonight as soon as possible.

The night in Pingzhou in mid-November is quite cold.

The charcoal fire in the house burned for two hours, and Liu Qingyin asked the maid to add a new pot of charcoal fire.

Zhang Xiang only knew from Qin Elegy that Liu Qingyin was the identity of the former Chu princess, but he did not know her identity in Pingzhou City to hide people's eyes.

This will be curious: "By the way, Ming Heng still doesn't know who Miss Liu is?" ”

"The slave family is a person from Jingzhou." Liu Qingyin replied, and then said quietly: "My father is a businessman in Jingzhou, and the slave family also went to Bianjing with his parents to do business when he was five years old, but ten years ago, because of business, he offended a eunuch in Jingzhou, his parents were killed, and the family was in the middle of the road, and the slave family was lucky to be taken in by a mother, who once worked as a singer in Pingzhou Qinglou, and taught the slave family the talents of many Qinglou women, so the slave family also came to Pingzhou. ”

It's a pretty good background.

Zhang Xiang also secretly praised in his heart, and said with some sympathy: "I didn't expect Miss Liu to be a rough person. ”

Liu Qingyin smiled abruptly: "Which woman who lives in the Qinglou is not a rough person?" The world is like this, and women have no talent, so they can only save their lives in this way. Xinde's slave family met Yang Gongzi, and they could be safe and sound in Pingzhou, if it weren't for this, the slave family would have been squeezed out of Pingzhou City long ago. ”

"Yang Gongzi is unparalleled in talent and appearance, and Miss Liu is a beautiful woman in the city, she is really a pair of land-making, which is enviable." Zhang Xiang said with a smile.

Liu Qingyin lowered her head shyly, and said in a joking tone: "Let the concubine smile, Princess Gaoping of the concubine is a peerless beauty, a princess, a golden branch and jade leaves, otherwise the concubine is so talented, how can she choose to be a concubine?" ”

Zhang Xiang also joked: "If I don't be a colt, I'm afraid I won't be alive now." ”

Liu Qingyin nodded slightly in understanding.

Then he used a casual tone: "I listen to Yang Gongzi, there should be a hidden reason for the death of the horse's father." ”

Zhang Xiang glanced at her and spread his hands: "I didn't expect Yang Gongzi to really love Miss Liu, it seems that he told Miss Liu a lot of things I had with him." ”

Liu Qingyin saluted slightly: "Forgive me, but Yang Gongzi really admires the talent of the horse in his heart, so when he was with the slave family, he got up and told the slave family some things about him and the horse, and hoped that the horse would not blame Yang Gongzi." ”

Zhang Xiang shook his head: "It's okay, this is not an uncommon thing." ”

"Is that really like what Yang Gongzi did?" Liu Qingyin tried to ask.

Zhang Xiang shook his head: "This matter is a thing of the past, Ming Heng doesn't want to mention it again, and Yang Gongzi is just a trace of resentment in his heart, and there is no actual proof." The emperor pardoned Ming Heng's capital crime, and married the princess to me, which is already a great emperor's grace, Ming Heng does not dare to ask for anything else, and now Ming Heng just wants to spend the rest of his life with the princess in Pingzhou with peace of mind. ”

"It's the slave family who has said too much, please forgive me." Liu Qingyin hurriedly bowed.

Zhang Xiang waved his hand violently: "Forget it, don't mention it, don't mention it." ”

Then he raised his glass and said: "Today, Miss Liu invited, Ming Heng is extremely honored, Miss Liu is grateful, Ming Heng also understands it, if the assassin assassinates me that day, I believe Miss Liu and Yang Gongzi will not stand idly by." ”

Liu Qingyin smiled lightly and raised her wine glass.

In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Zhang Xiang got up and said goodbye.

Liu Qingyin got up and planned to send him out.

However, at this moment, a piece of window paper in the inner room was pierced by a wooden pipe, and then a puff of white smoke blew out of the wooden pipe.

The white smoke emitted very quickly, and it instantly filled the house

Zhang Xiang and Liu Qingyin had just walked to the door of the room, and the two of them immediately inhaled this puff of white smoke.

Zhang Xiang's body shook a little, and his head suddenly felt unusually heavy.

He instinctively looked back, only to see Liu Qingyin behind him faltering, and then fell down in his dizzy gaze.

At first, he thought it was because he drank too much wine, but he didn't pay much attention to it, until he smelled the smell of smoke, and he suddenly noticed something strange.

When he saw Liu Qingyin falling, he reacted, and the wine was instantly sober.

Then he held his breath violently.

He wanted to take a few more steps to open the door, but his feet suddenly became weak and he collapsed to the ground.

Zhang Xiang was horrified in his heart and wanted to scream, but he didn't have any strength at all, and he slowly fell to the ground, and his vision gradually blurred.

At the last moment before he woke up, he only vaguely heard the sound of footsteps coming from the corridor outside the room, there must have been quite a lot of people.

Then there was the sound of the door being kicked open.

Then, a group of people poured in, but he couldn't see the faces of this group of Rao clearly.

Then, he lost consciousness in the sound of a fight.

Blood flew in the room, a black shadow and a sword, and killed a few people who looked like family members in front of him in just a few rounds, and then the black shadow dragged Zhang Xiang on the ground and ran towards the window.

Behind the screen, a figure with a folding fan suddenly flashed, and the folding fan in this person's hand was like a sharp blade, cutting into the waist of the black shadow.

The black shadow snorted coldly, and kicked straight at this rao's wrist, and the man snorted, and was directly kicked upside down and smashed a table.

Then the black shadow didn't look at it, and kicked the window to smash with Zhang Xiang's foot, and rushed into the dark night Zheng as light as a swallow

Zhang Xiang was directly woken up by a cold column of water.

Although he woke up a lot more conscious, his head was still a little dizzy, and he could only vaguely see his surroundings and hear the sounds around him.

In the distance, there are lively voices of people, the sound of street vendors shouting, and the sound of the river flowing slowly.

Look around me again, there is a cold meadow.

It turned out to be on the bank of the Qinhuai River not far from Yanliu Lane.

There was a dark shadow standing in front of him.

After seeing the appearance of the black shadow clearly, Zhang Xiang shook his head and wiped the water droplets left on his face: "Yuan Shen." ”

Yuan Shen said lightly: "You were plotted by Yang Li and Liu Qingyin. ”

Zhang Xiang's heart sank.

Yuan Shen continued: "Fortunately, I found out in time that someone outside the window was releasing smoke, otherwise I don't know what they would do to you." ”

Zhang Xiang hurriedly recalled the previous picture, frowned, and said, "When I fainted, Liu Qingyin also fainted. ”

Yuan Shen said: "It should be Yang Li's people who put the smoke, when I went in, they were about to carry you away, I killed a few people, and then Yang Li appeared, I was injured, there are many people around the house, in case the night is long, I have to take you out first." ”

A nameless anger rose in Zhang Xiang's heart, and he was silent without saying a word.

Yuan Shen said: "Don't rush to find them in this matter, they should look for you again, just to find out their purpose, they didn't want to kill you, but just stunned you, they should have other plans for you." You go back now, Princess Gaoping is waiting for you in front of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Xiang was taken aback.

Yuan Shen said: "The paper ball you threw into the lake today was picked up by Zhao Hanyan, she knew that you were coming to the Yanyu Pavilion, so not long after you entered, she was waiting for you outside the Yanyu Pavilion." ”

Zhang Xiang patted his head, which was still a little dizzy, in annoyance.

Yuan Shen said: "I'll go first, you can do it yourself, the smoke in your house is ten constant, it has the effect of losing the body, and you can rest for a few days after you go back." ”

finished, and Yuan Shen also disappeared into the darkness Zheng

He had already drunk a lot of wine, and he was hit by the so-called Ten Changsan, at this time, he only felt weak, and dragged his heavy head back in the direction of the Yanyu Pavilion.

He is not an impulsive person, and it is impossible for him to go back to Yang Li and Liu Qingyin in his current state.

Since these two people have plans for him, they have been exposed at this time, so they will naturally look for him again, and he just waits.

When I returned to the mouth of an alley not far from Yanyu Pavilion, I saw Zhao Hanyan's carriage.

He walked over with a strong spirit.

The slave who was looking around spotted him at a glance, and then ran to him with a high heart: "Horse." ”

"Slave." Zhang Xiang smiled at her, but he stumbled and almost fell down.

"Huh? Pony, what's wrong with you? How do you drink so much alcohol! ”

Fortunately, the slave helped him in time, and when he smelled his wine, he thought he had drunk too much, and hurriedly helped him to the carriage.

"Princess, the colt has come out."

A cadre of guards hurriedly helped him into the car.

Zhao Hanyan in the car hurriedly helped him to sit down, and only frowned when he smelled his wine, but he didn't blame him, just put a piece of clothing he brought on him, and then told the coachman to go home.

On the way back, Zhang Xiang's head was still dizzy, and the feeling of dizziness came up again, causing him to lean on Zhao Yanhan's shoulder all the time, and he basically didn't hear a word clearly when Zhao Hanyan said anything to him.

After returning to the house, Zhang Xiang basically lost consciousness and strength again, and was carried to the room by the family.

After tossing for more than half an hour, the family members dispersed one by one.

Only the slave remained outside the east door waiting for Zhao Hanyan.

After a long time, Zhao Hanyan opened the door and walked out.

The slave, who was also anxious in his heart, hurriedly asked, "Princess, how is the colt?" ”

"It's fine, but I drank too much and fell asleep." Zhao Hanyan said to her: "Slave, you should also go and rest!" ”

"Huh? Princess, won't you go back and rest? I'll take care of the colt! The slave said hurriedly.

Zhao Hanyan shook his head: "He drank so much wine, he was afraid that he would wake up in the middle of the night, you are a girl, I'm afraid it's inconvenient, I'll take care of him here tonight, you go back quickly!" ”

"Oh! The slave and maid took their own leave. The slave nodded obediently, and when she turned around, the girl was still babbling: "How can a colt drink so much wine!" Really, the princess waited for him all night, and he drank so much, really... This willow girl is really, why do you want the pony to drink so much wine...... It's really ......."

Zhao Hanyan returned to Fang Zheng again

At this moment, Zhang Xiang was already sleeping quietly on the bed.

It's just that the half-wet clothes on his body haven't been changed yet.

Seeing that he was sleeping peacefully, Zhao Hanyan took a breath lightly, walked over, and slowly took off the clothes for him.

Then I found a clean one for him to put on.

After changing Zhang Xiang's clothes, she was basically exhausted, after all, it was still very difficult for a weak woman like her to turn over the body of a big man like Zhang Xiang.

After holding on and changing some new charcoal fire, she yawned and fell asleep slowly on the edge of the bed......
