Since the plan to leave Beijing, in order to avoid extraneous branches, Gu Haotian has been staying at the Shanshui Inn for a few days.

During this period, he only visited Xu Churen, and the old man was indignant and angry because he had not heard from him several times.

On the side of the armor storehouse, he received fifty pairs of leather armor, fifty bows, and some archery skills, all of which were secretly sent outside the city.

The Shanshui Inn also quietly passed under Cai Ying's name, and this guy really took a few blank papers from the Privy Council's stable, which provided great convenience for transporting horses.

Zhang Jiucheng once came and said that the king of Huainan County had made a connection with the officials of the Criminal Department, and said that if the Jurchens were no longer entangled, they might be released after the palace test. Gu Haotian took the opportunity to invite him to Jingdong as a guest by the way, and Zhang Jiucheng readily agreed.

Soon it was March 18th, and the palace test of the spring of the present branch was held in the Daqing Palace. The ranking was announced the next day, and Yan Junqing won the top 32, which was much better than the provincial test.

The bigger news of the day was that Alum Lou's new drama "Yanqiu" would be staged again that night, and it was said that after a period of revision and rehearsal, it would be more exciting. As a result, the triumphant moves of the science field, the officials who got rid of official duties, and the people from all walks of life who had been looking forward to it for a long time, all flocked to the alum building, and suddenly the hall on the third floor of the Gong Building was hard to find.

Gu Haotian received an invitation from Master Li that morning, and he had already missed the appointment when he performed for the first time, and he couldn't refuse. So he made an appointment with Yan Junliao and Zhang Jiucheng, and after dinner, together with Xu Guanzhong, Xiao Rang and others, under the escort of Bian Xiang and others, they went towards Alum Tower.

Unlike last time, Master Li arranged for them in a private room on the second floor this time, probably for the sake of his safety after listening to Gu Haotian's thrilling encounter a few days ago. But it is also exactly what he wants, so that if he, a "celebrity", is recognized, there will be unnecessary trouble.

At the end of the unitary hour, the hall was already full, Gu Haotian heard that Chai Wenbo's private room was in the B-shaped room on the right, so he got up and wanted to go over to say hello, but when he walked to the corridor, he was stopped by two guard-like people, saying that the road was grounded, and he went downstairs and walked from the other side of the passage.

Gu Haotian was surprised in his heart, and looked up at the two of them, but he felt cold and cold, with a sense of déjà vu. He didn't say anything, turned around and walked back, until he reached the door of the private room, he suddenly remembered that the two people were very similar to the two people beside him when Yurong went to the Shanshui Inn to dine that day.

"Eunuch!"

Two words suddenly jumped out of his heart, and he couldn't help but look back over there, but saw that except for a few guards in the middle of the private room, no one was moving. Could it be that some important person in the palace is here, and the party is so big.

Just when Gu Haotian was suspicious, the drums on the stage sounded in unison, the sound of silk and bamboo started, and "Yanqiu" began to be staged.

I saw a huge canvas erected behind the stage, painting a green grassland and a blue lake, two girls dressed in goose costumes fluttered out from both ends of the stage, they chased and frolicked on the stage, and staged the story of acquaintance and love in the comfortable music.

The audience was attracted by the novel and brilliant performance, and continued to burst into cheers. But Gu Haotian didn't know why, he was always a little uneasy.

On the stage, the plot gradually came to the last scene, the scholar played by Li Shishi came to the stage, and I saw her holding a scroll and a green shirt, and when she appeared, she attracted a wave of applause.

"The appearance of the head of the division is unmatched in the capital!"

Zhang Jiucheng sighed sincerely, and everyone present also agreed, but Gu Haotian felt even more uneasy in his heart for some reason.

Soon the plot entered the climax, Yan'er died of martyrdom, and the scholar built Yanqiu to bury. And seeing her rise up with grief and indignation, she wrote and chanted, like anger and sorrow, like crying and complaining.

"Ask what is the situation in the world, and teach life and death to promise ,......"

And when she chanted, the people in the audience who had already been immersed in the plot suddenly went to the second soul, and they all subconsciously asked themselves, "What is love?" For a moment, the hall of hundreds of people was silent.

At this moment, Gu Haotian was keenly aware that there was a figure passing by the door, and he immediately excused himself to go out of the door, and found that the two guards were missing, and then suddenly realized that his uneasiness tonight came from the mysterious private room next door.

After a while, the curtain fell on the stage of "Yanqiu", but the enthusiastic audience was reluctant to leave for a long time. The building was helpless, so I had to perform the old drama "Farewell" again. At this time, Gu Haotian had no intention of watching anymore, he stared straight at the passage outside the door with a pair of eyes, and after a while, sure enough, there were footsteps, and then he saw Master Li, who was dressed in men's clothes, following the guard. Gu Haotian only felt that she glanced at herself inadvertently, and something seemed to have fallen from her hand.

After a few breaths, Gu Haotian pretended to be casual and arrived at the door, and found a small lump of characters, he picked it up and looked at it quietly, but there were two scribbled handwriting inside:

"Help me!"

Gu Haotian was stunned for a moment, and then made a bold decision in an instant, so he spoke:

"I've seen this drama before, it's not very new, it's not early tonight, it's better to go back early."

Everyone had no objections, although Yan Junqing was reluctant at first glance, he had to go with him. When he went downstairs, Gu Haotian whispered a few words to Bian Xiang, and he made an excuse to go first.

When he arrived outside the building, Gu Haotian carefully observed and saw that there were many bright piles and dark posts around. He didn't show his face, called a carriage and Zhang Jiucheng and Yan Junqing, and the two sides left separately in a high-profile manner. In the alum tower, Master Li followed the guard nervously into the private room, and saw a middle-aged man sitting in his fifties, and a man behind him was waiting with his eyebrows bowed and bent over.

"Well, yes, let's sit here."

The man stared at her for a moment, then pointed to the position next to him.

"The slave family doesn't dare!"

Master Li bent down and saluted, but did not move.

"You dare to resist!"

At this time, the man next to him suddenly drank majestically.

"Resist!"

Master Li's heart jumped a little, and suddenly remembered his mother's repeated explanation, tonight, this guest can not refuse any request, and the great grievances must be endured. She thought that there was something powerful that could not be offended, so she turned to Gu Haotian for help, and when she thought that it was the current Son of Heaven, her heart was instantly filled with cold despair.

"Why, Li Xingshou didn't give me my life."

At this moment, there was another joking voice in front of me. Then Master Li saw the two colors of misty eyes, and she suddenly felt that she was a lamb to the slaughter, and then mechanically moved over and sat in that position.

"Father-in-law Yang, pour wine for the teacher."

The waiting eunuch hurriedly answered, picked up a wine bottle and filled it to Master Li.

"The teacher and the lady will drink two glasses together."

The old emperor said, just drink a glass of yourself. Master Li didn't want to drink it, but he felt that the eunuch next to him had a pair of eyes stabbed like a knife, so he had no choice but to take a sip of the cup. Immediately, seeing a trace of evil light flashing in the old emperor's eyes, he laughed dryly, and asked the eunuch to pour wine for Master Li.

After a few cups, Master Li only felt that his mouth was dry, his heart was beating wildly, and his body was hot for a while. She grew up in the Qinglou, and immediately thought that she must have fallen for the old emperor's pickling methods, but at this time she couldn't help it.

Let's say that this old emperor is also a pervert, he has always heard the name of Master Li, but because his identity is not easy to show, today is just after the palace exam, there is nothing important, and he came out of the palace in casual clothes under the pretext of watching what "Yanqiu". Unexpectedly, when I arrived at this alum building, I saw that this Master Li was really beautiful and artistic, and he couldn't hold it back at that time. It is said that he is the king of a country, and he wants to be fortunate to be a woman in a green building, who dares to refuse, but he looked at Master Li with a cold look, and his heart was unhappy, so he instructed the eunuch to use some means.

"Hey, hey! Teacher, how is my wine? ”

Looking at the restless appearance of Master Li beside him, he knew that the effect of the medicine had started, and he couldn't help but laugh proudly, and then put her downstairs beside him.

Although Master Li was still conscious and clear, she knew that she would not be able to escape tonight, and she had insisted on her innocence in this filthy place for more than ten years, and she could no longer keep it, she sighed in her heart, and for a moment the figure of the young man flashed in her mind, thinking that she might never have a chance again in this life, and suddenly a pair of tears slipped down the corners of her eyes.

"Isn't it humiliating to accompany you with me!"

The old emperor saw it in his eyes, and his heart was furious, he pulled the green shirt roughly, and with a hard effort, a delicate body was suddenly exposed. He glanced greedily, and said happily:

"Not bad! Not bad! There was no wasted effort. ”

Then there was another tearing sound, and a dazzling snow-white immediately appeared in the private room.

However, just when the old emperor was full of desire, there was a sudden violent commotion in the hall downstairs, and immediately there was a hint of smoke and dust.

"It's out of the water! Walk the water! ”

I don't know who shouted, and the people in the hall immediately fled in panic.

At this moment, the nervous voice of the guards sounded outside the private room: "Your Majesty, there is a fire in the East Building, hurry up and leave!" ”

When Yang Gong opened the door, he was shocked when the fireworks were rolling in the east.

"It's dangerous here, the emperor should go."

Hiding from the palace tonight, he came out privately to have a romantic affair, if there was any accident, he, the eunuch, would die without redemption, so he went in and pulled up the old emperor and walked out. The old emperor looked at the stunner in front of him, although he was unwilling, after all, his life was at stake, only to see him kick her to the ground with hatred, and said viciously:

"I'll let you go for the time being, this sister!"

Then under the arch guard of a group of guards, he left in a hurry.

Let's say that Master Li was in a drowsy and discouraged manner, when she suddenly received a kick, and she was a little more awake under the sting, and then saw the old emperor hurrying away, and when she was surprised, she saw a figure burst in and picked her up, and then she heard a voice that she wanted to hear the most.

"Sister is fine!"

"Brother, take me to the house in Lihua Lane in the back."

Master Li raised his spirit and said weakly in the man's ear.

"Sister, you hold on, I'll take you out in the crowd."

This person is Gu Haotian, after he picked up Master Li's note just now, he knew that she was in trouble tonight, but that person was too strong for him to provoke. So he had a plan, asked Bian Xiang to go to the east building to set fire, and led everyone to exit first, creating the illusion of going home, and then turned back and sneaked into the alum building, just now watching the group of people hurry out, he immediately rushed in. But when he saw Master Li lying on the ground in disheveled clothes, he was shocked and thought that something had happened to her.

Seeing that she was still conscious, she didn't have time to ask anything more, so she took off her coat and put it on her, picked her up and walked out. At this time, it was the time when the crowd was crowded, Master Li was dressed as a man just now, she leaned on Gu Haotian and was mixed in the crowd, she was not conspicuous at all, and she arrived outside the building after a while. The two walked a few steps along the wall, then got into a carriage and quickly left the alum tower.
