Chapter 259: Midnight Chaos (I)
Gao Yang has always liked to be lively, and she can create excitement with her own hands wherever she is not lively, because she is too lively and can't stand loneliness.
The excitement that Li Su is going to create tonight undoubtedly makes her look forward to it very much, and for no reason, she just believes that Li Su will definitely do this thing well.
Since he met him, he never seemed to have done anything, except for the story of the Three Kingdoms told to her, which was suspected of nonsense, everything else was quite reliable.
"You tell me first, what's going on tonight?" Gao Yang looked at Li Su excitedly, and it was not a big deal to watch the excitement in a typical way.
"You can't say it, if you say it, it won't work." Li Su is very principled, and there will be no surprises for spoilers.
Gao Yang glanced at him hatefully: "It's not uncommon to pretend to be a ghost!" ”
After all, it was a little girl's temperament, Gao Yang sulked for a while and then couldn't hold it back, and took the initiative to find a word with Li Su to break the silence.
"When did you and the imperial sister fall in love with each other?"
Li Su thought for a while and said with a smile: "When I met her, I was sitting on the bank of the river at that time, and your sister thought that there was no one around, so she took off her shoes and jumped on the grass, and then I saw her feet......"
Gao Yang showed a very disgusted look: "You like women's feet? ”
"What I like is her temperament, the carefree look on her face when she is alone, and later when I get along with her, she always never forgets the princess's demeanor, which is very different from the first time we met, and after a long time, I think it is very interesting, and gradually I am fascinated by her."
Gao Yang showed a look of envy and admiration, and sighed: "You and the imperial sister are really like stories written in books, if I can meet a lover who treats me like this in this life." will also be like the imperial sister, regardless of a qiē, and know and admire her sweetheart, even if you can only get along with him for one day. An hour, death is blinded......"
Li Suruo looked at her meaningfully.
Gao Yang is twelve years old this year, and a few years later, her fate is similar to that of Dongyang, and she was also entrusted with a non-human being, until she met a monk and finally made a moth to put out the fire......
This is an unrestrained era. Etiquette and Confucian scriptures have not been distorted, and people's love and hatred are so natural and straightforward, without intimidation.
Gao Yang sighed for a while. Suddenly said excitedly: "That's right, that's right, after the marriage between the imperial sister and the eldest son of the Gao family is messed up, you can elope with the imperial sister and run away." Nothing to worry about. Wouldn't it be beautiful to find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to love each other and grow old for the rest of your life? Just like Uncle Pharmacist and Red Whisk Lady......"
Li Su's face was a little strange, and he said, "Elopement? ”
Gao Yang nodded heavily: "Hmm! In the last years of the former Sui Dynasty, Uncle Pharmacist visited Sikong Yang Su and recounted his life aspirations, in order to be reused by the imperial court, but Yang Su looked down on him. After a perfunctory manner, he was sent out, but he didn't expect Yang Su's prostitute Red Whisk Niang to take a fancy to him. Quietly left the house in the middle of the night to find Uncle Pharmacist, admired his ambition of Lingyun, and was willing to make a promise, and then Uncle Pharmacist ran away with Red Whisk Niang......"
Li Su smiled, he knew the story Gao Yang told in his previous life, it was very famous, and later generations gave this story a very nice name, called "Red Breeze Night Run", a romantic love story integrating heroic pride and beauty tenderness.
By the way, there is also a spare tire warm man in this story, named Bearded Guest, like many bloody plots, the second male likes the female one, the female one likes the male one, the warm man is forced to have no choice, and endures the sadness and worships the male and the female as brothers and sisters with different surnames, known as the "Three Heroes of Wind and Dust", and the male one really achieved "the painting of the blood-stained country, how can you be the enemy with a little cinnabar between your eyebrows", and became a general who fought on the battlefield and slaughtered thousands of heroes......
The story is so perfect, it's as if there is a bloody director behind this story hiding behind the eyes of the crowd to direct the development of the plot, as well as the movement and expression of the hero and heroine......
Li Su wanted to laugh, but when he thought that the pharmacist uncle, that is, Li Jing, the famous military god of the Tang Dynasty today, was still alive, he couldn't help but be a little disrespectful when he laughed, so he had to hold back.
"I'm different from your pharmacist uncle, they are in troubled times, so they ran away, and I and your imperial sister, every inch of land under our feet is your father's, the world is big, but there is no place to stand, where can we run?"
************************************************************
At the beginning of the winter month, there were only four days left before the day of marrying the Gao family in Dongyang.
The night is as cold as water, and the cold wind is calling.
Li Su, dressed in black, stood in the small mountain forest at the entrance of the village, looking at the princess's mansion that had fallen into darkness in the distance.
The forest was pitch black, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and there were a few people standing next to Li Su, the Wang brothers and Zheng Xiaolou.
Right now, all the people Li Su can trust are here.
Looking up at the sky, the hour had passed, Li Su's eyes narrowed slightly, breaking the silence for a long time.
"I showed you in the afternoon, you all know how to use this thing, right?"
The three of them nodded strangely, looking at Li Su's eyes were very complicated, with admiration, awe, and a little panic.
Li Su looked back at Zheng Xiaolou and said, "Especially you, you have to remember clearly, you have to enter Chang'an City tomorrow, and at night you will come to the Gao family like this according to this method, and there can be no difference." ”
Zheng Xiaolou pursed his lips and nodded coldly.
Li Su smiled, in this dark night, his smile was inexplicably a little weird and gloomy.
"The hour has come, let's do something!"
…………
…………
Taiping Village is not peaceful tonight, the time has just arrived, but the dogs of the village are not as quiet as usual, a little restless, and the dogs bark one after another, endlessly.
The villagers noticed that something was unusual, and they all got up in their clothes, and the three or two neighbors met to discuss a few words, and they all felt that there might be thieves in the village.
In today's Zhenguan year, where the government is harmonious and the folk customs are simple, it is a rare thing for thieves to enter the village.
The respected old man Zhao in the village said hello, and more than 20 strong men formed a patrol, and patrolled around the village twice with torches in the cold wind, and no one was found, but the dogs in the village still barked non-stop.
Old man Zhao didn't dare to be careless, but felt that the atmosphere in the village was quite strange tonight, so he ordered the strong men to patrol the east of the village again.
The villagers are usually reluctant to go to the east of the village, because it is where the princess's mansion in Dongyang is located, even though the princess's mansion has never had a precedent of oppressing the villagers, but it is polite and close to the family, but the class is in front of them, after all, they are still not very comfortable, and the people of the princess's mansion can try not to meet.
Everyone held torches all the way east, and the further they went, the more cold they felt, and even the cold wind in the middle of the night was colder than usual, like sticking to a piece of 10,000-year-old cold iron.
Old man Zhao is old, his body can't bear it at first, he can't help but shiver, spit on the ground, and scolded: "It's so cold, what's wrong tonight......"
Different from the barking dogs in the village, the princess's mansion is silent within a mile, Her Royal Highness the princess's living habits are very good, the lights are turned off soon after nightfall, only two dim lanterns are hung at the gate, under the lanterns, the Jinwu guards on duty are lined up to patrol back and forth.
Old man Zhao led the strong men to a distance of hundreds of steps from the princess's mansion and stopped, looked at it from a distance, and found that the princess's mansion was normal, and the soldiers at the door were also walking around calmly.
Everyone didn't dare to go any further, and they couldn't tell if they were a few steps closer to the princess's mansion, so Old Man Zhao led everyone back.
After walking a few steps, the inexplicable coldness swept over again, this time not only Old Man Zhao, but also more than twenty strong men shivered.
Old man Zhao became more and more uneasy in his heart, and looked around unconsciously, and then, Old Man Zhao's eyes were straight, his mouth was wide open, and his expression was extremely frightened.
The faint yellow light of the torch reflected Old Man Zhao's face, which made the strong men also frightened, and following Old Man Zhao's gaze, everyone's expressions instantly became the same as Old Man Zhao.
A green fire appeared out of thin air on the empty field, and just hung in the air, not moving.
Immediately after that, a second and a third appeared in the green fire mass in the field......
Eventually, there were more and more fires, and the green light of the fire floated in the open field, swaying with the cold wind.
Dozens of fire balls lined up in neat five columns on the field, and then, the fire balls suddenly moved, keeping a neat line and drifting towards the princess's mansion.
Old man Zhao and the strong men didn't dare to move, so they watched from a distance as the green fire balls floated over the grass, over the dead branches, and over the dry stream......
Everyone's faces were distorted into an exaggerated ball because of fright, Old Man Zhao looked at the fire ball drifting away in a daze, his throat made a phlegm sound of "Titica", and his breathing involuntarily accelerated, until the fire ball drifted away, Old Man Zhao came back to his senses, like a rooster who was choked by the neck, and squeezed out two words of horror from his throat.
"Ghost Fire!"
The crowd boiled as if it had exploded, and the timid turned their heads and ran home, and the bold ones didn't dare to do anything, they were all over the place, but they still had the courage to support the old man Zhao first, and ran away together.
Old man Zhao's body trembled, his hands and feet were colder than ghosts, and he was run back with his arms and feet on the ground by the strong men, but he shouted in his mouth like delirium: "How can there be a ghost fire?" Why is there a ghost fire? Who in the village has done something unscrupulous and has been punished? Quick, go and ask two people to beat the gong, gather the villagers, the ghost fire will appear in the world, and there will be unjust souls asking for their lives! It's very unlucky, it's unlucky! ”
…………
The miserable green ghost fire appeared silently outside the Dongyang Princess's Mansion, the green faintly flickering and swaying, like the eyes of evil ghosts, staring at the gate of the Princess's Mansion fiercely.
The Jinwuwei soldiers on duty at the princess's mansion were attracted by the shouting of old man Zhao and others in the distance, a team of soldiers was ordered to check, and the rest of the people glanced around vigilantly.
A sergeant squinted his eyes and looked into the distance for a while, and gradually realized that something was wrong, one, two, dozens of miserable green flames flickered a hundred steps away from the palace gate, looking like fireflies from a distance, and after a closer look, he found that it was actually a ball of green flames floating in the air!
When the sergeant understood, his eyes widened in horror, and the halberd in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, pointing at the flames in the distance and shouting: "Fire! Ghost Fire! ”
With a shout, the princess's mansion was in chaos. (To be continued......)
