Chapter 8: Winning in the Confusion
Liu Bao slapped twice, and there were already maids waiting to put the piano on the side, and then Xiao Lu Shi Ran walked out from behind the screen, saluted the officials sitting on the head, and sat down in front of the piano to play.
As soon as Xiao Lu came out, he had already amazed Zhao Gou, although there was no shortage of concubines in Zhao Gou's family, but there was really no such appearance and temperament, and he couldn't help but stare at Xiao Lu closely. The slender ten fingers brushed the strings, plucking her young and hot heart, and the beautiful sound of the piano was clearly telling herself about her years.
Those who understand the rhythm are fascinated by it, and those who don't understand it feel that it is a beautiful melody that they have never heard before. At the end of the song, everyone slowly came back to their senses from the person and the sound of the piano.
Zhao Gou applauded, personally helped Xiao Lu's Rouyi to sit beside him, and said: "This song has rivers, flat sand, falling geese, and the hope of my Great Song Dynasty!" What the girl played is exactly what my Great Song wants to regain! Come, everyone raise a glass and wish me another 10,000-year foundation of the Great Song Dynasty! ”
Everyone raised their glasses and drank in a joyful voice, and Xiao Lu also dutifully added wine and food to King Kang in the role, which made King Kang feel high spirits for a while. After six rounds of drinking, General Zong Ze said: "Your Highness, the night is approaching today, and I am afraid that there will be poor protection, so it is better to go home with fun." ”
Zhao thought about it, and said that it was okay, then disperse. said, and looked at Xiao Lu reluctantly. Liu Bao smiled knowingly, since my musician and His Royal Highness have a common hobby in music, if Your Highness doesn't dislike it, let her communicate with His Highness for a few more days You see how it goes.
Of course, this was in Zhao Gou's arms, so the group took advantage of the darkness of the night and returned to the county government in a mighty way. It's just that there is one more person who goes back.
Xiao Lu and Zhao Gou sat in a sedan chair, more than half of the trip, Zhao Gou because of the wine, his heart rose, he was a young man, and it was reasonable for his blood to surge, but he held the virtuous frame of the prince, and struggled for a long time in his heart, and finally mustered up the courage to grab Xiao Lu's slender white hand.
Zhao Gou was just about to hold Xiao Lu's hand, but Xiao Lu said coldly: "Your Highness's banquet was full of high-minded talk, which made people angry, and it seems that it is actually just an impetuous prodigal in empty words. ”
Zhao Gou withdrew his hand after hearing this, and was not annoyed, but smiled and said: "The girl doesn't seem to be an ordinary servant, and preaching like this gently is like a drum that woke me up." Haven't asked the girl's name yet? ”
"You'll find out later." Xiao Lu said in her heart, I'll tell you when you die. Xiao Lu quietly touched the dagger in her sleeve, but fortunately it was still there. Her mood couldn't help but get nervous, she didn't know martial arts and was powerless at all, I don't know if she was sure to kill Zhao Gou later, if she could stab him, she could also create the peace negotiation process between Song and Jin, and it could be regarded as completing the task. But I may die of incense, I'm sorry cousin, I'll repay you in the next life. Xiao Lu held the dagger in her hand and slowly sweated. As long as Zhao Gou is unprepared, he will immediately stab him in the heart, no, the heart is protected by ribs, and it is better to assassinate him in the neck.
Zhao Gou didn't look at Xiao Lu again at this time, opened the curtain and pretended to look outside, so as to eliminate the embarrassment just now.
Xiao Lu stared at Zhao Gou's neck tightly, so nervous that her palms and vests were sweating, she clenched the dagger again, and quietly raised her hand to stab Zhao Gou's neck.
Suddenly, the sedan chair stopped, frightened by inertia, Xiao Lu hurriedly received the dagger behind him. Zhao Gou was also startled, and poked his head out of the curtain to see what was going on outside.
A madman in front of him blocked the way of the procession, waving a rusty kitchen knife in his hand wildly, shouting: "Kill your lackey surnamed Zhao, kill your lackey surnamed Zhao......"
Zong Ze lifted the curtain on the sedan chair, shouted to protect His Highness, and ordered the accompanying officers and soldiers to surround the madman.
"What man!?" Zong Ze shouted.
Liu Zhixian saw it clearly at this time and said that this was a madman in this county.
Zhao Gou was so frightened that he pulled his neck in out of the window, could it be that the news leaked, could this person have come to kill him?
The madman saw Liu Zhixian riding a horse from the crowd, and his impression seemed to think that he was not a good person, brandishing a knife, ignoring the officers and soldiers with knives and guns, and rushed straight towards Liu Zhixian. Liu Zhixian was so frightened that he quickly turned the horse's head and was about to run away, when the madman's kitchen knife flew and scratched an officer and soldier, and all the officers and soldiers were angry, and they all raised their knives and chopped at the madman without waiting for the order.
Blood splattered, and the madman fell in a pool of blood.
Liu Zhixian turned the horse's head again at this time, and was about to ask someone to take the corpse away and parade through the street tomorrow to set an example, when suddenly, dozens of people rushed out from the rooftops, or from the houses next to the street, or from the corners, each masked, holding a bright and flickering Pu knife in his hand, killing the officers and soldiers with a rainbow of momentum, and a few people rushed towards the two sedan chairs.
It appeared to be a premeditated attack.
General Zongze's sedan chair is in the front, and Zhao Gou's is in the back. Zong Ze pulled out the sword from his waist, jumped off the sedan chair and shouted for protection, and then went in the direction of Zhao Gou. didn't walk a few steps away, he was intercepted by the three of them, Zong Ze was lacking in skills, shouted to protect His Highness, and slowly moved towards Zhao Gou while struggling to resist. If something happens to King Kang under his nose, then his head is ready to move.
At this time, Qu Ping, who had been in ambush for a long time, covered his face and said to Lu Ji beside him: "You don't know martial arts, go to the broken temple five miles away and wait for me, hurry up, the city gate is not closed yet!" After speaking, he rushed towards King Kang's sedan chair empty-handed. Originally, his muscles were explosive, and now he had internal strength, and as soon as he exerted light power on the soles of his feet, he sprayed out at a speed of 100 meters and six seconds.
Qu Ping bumped into the two black-clothed men who were about to kill Zhao Kang's sedan chair, and with a wave of his hand, he tore off the door curtain, only to see that Zhao Gou was on the left and Xiao Lu was on the right in the sedan chair, Xiao Lu was about to stab Zhao Gou with a dagger in his right hand, poor Zhao Gou was still looking at the door in a daze, obviously coming back from the curtain that suddenly opened, not to mention finding the murderer who suddenly stabbed him next to him.
When it was too late, Qu Ping reached forward with both hands, like a double dragon going out to sea, and slashed at the necks of the two people left and right, knocking them unconscious, and then carrying one on each of his left and right shoulders, and galloped towards the city gate.
"Ran!" I don't know who shouted, and everyone didn't know who ran away, paused for a second, and saw that there was no leader to speak, so they continued to slash each other. Those people sent out by Zong Ze to follow the others also found the battle at this time, and joined the fight from all sides. The battle will soon go in a one-sided direction.
Qu Ping ran to the corner where no one was around, whistled, and the white horse that he had snatched ran out. When he checked out today, he gave the horse a resounding name - Little White Dragon. He threw Zhao Gou in front of the saddle and lay on his stomach, then carried Xiao Lufei on the little white dragon and galloped towards the city gate.
The two officers and soldiers guarding the city gate were roasting under the city gate at this time, and they only felt a fast horse rushing by, and they didn't see the people on the horse at all. The wind brought by the little white dragon blew sparks back and forth. The officers and men scolded fiercely and continued to gossip.
The snow kept falling, and the horseshoe prints were quickly obscured.
The little white dragon carried the three of them into the ruined temple five miles outside the city in one go, and there were no wanderers staying here tonight, otherwise it would be more troublesome. The broken temple is not big, just a large hall, which is dedicated to Maitreya Buddha, the arhats on both sides are crooked, and the spider webs crawl all over the corners of the house. There were some haystacks inside, which were probably used by homeless people as beds.
Qu Ping separated the two of them and leaned on the haystack left and right, took out the fire to light the excess haystack and lit a fire, and found some dry wood to set it up to burn the fire even more vigorously. Lu Ji hasn't arrived yet, it is estimated that he will not be able to reach it for a while with a pair of feet, he is not involved in the incident, he should not be caught.
Qu Ping sat on the ground, looking at the two people on the left and right, the red fire reflected on their faces, the red should be the vitality that young people should have, but now they have to live up to their fate and mission. Perhaps, with a mission and faith, we can live up to our vitality and live up to our good years.
How could it be otherwise?
He didn't take Zhao Gou lightly, and it is estimated that he will not wake up for a while. When these two people wake up, what will happen? Qu Ping thought about it, walked to Xiao Lu's side, pinched the back of her neck, Xiao Lu said "um", and woke up quietly. She looked at the handsome tall man in front of her, and then looked at Zhao Gou, who was unconscious opposite, her face was not surprised or happy, she could see that this woman's mood was extraordinary, otherwise she would not have said something like "This heart is no longer difficult for Xu Qing".
Qu Ping stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, my name is Qu Ping, and it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
Xiao Lu moved behind her, then stood up, glanced at Qu Ping's outstretched hand (how could she understand the meaning of shaking hands), and said, "You got me here?" ”
Qu Ping withdrew his hand and said, "I just happened to pass by, just draw a knife to help, the girl doesn't need to say thanks." ”
Xiao Lu said in her heart, who wants to thank you, she said: "Why is he here, you knocked us out?" ”
Qu Ping said secretly, when I opened the curtain, you didn't look outside at all, how could you see me, but you admitted it, "Seeing that you look so beautiful, I can't hide it", Xiao Lu glanced at him, this person is too frivolous. Qu Ping continued: "The girl was talking in Juxian Tower, and I happened to pass by, so I heard one or two, and the girl's move really shouldn't be." ”
