Bai Qiuyan held an umbrella and walked in the streets and alleys, followed by two maids, these two maids were also from Yunxiang Courtyard, they were completely two subordinates, specializing in doing chores for Yunxiang Courtyard, and they were not even qualified to sell themselves.

Bai Qiuyan glanced back, cast a sympathetic look at the two maids, and thought about her own fate, seven years ago, how could she not be sad and desolate?

If Hua Yingying hadn't found her on the street corner and took her back to Yunxiangyuan to bathe and change clothes and eat, she would probably have to wear a ragged shirt and starve for a few days, not knowing where to be bitten by wild dogs.

She entered the Yunxiang Courtyard, like the two maids behind her, did chores for a year, and one day Hua Yingying saw her writing on the ground with firewood, so she asked her to accompany her to read.

At that time, Hua Yingying, only thirteen years old, was born beautiful, a small face carved in pink and jade, a little beauty at a young age, very pleasing to the guests. For the sake of business, Liu's mother let Hua Yingying learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs.

However, Hua Yingying's talent is really average, and she often can't understand the meaning of a poem for three or five days, but she didn't expect that Bai Qiuyan's talent is extremely high, and she can not only understand the meaning from the side, but also recite it word for word.

So, Hua Yingying asked Bai Qiuyan to be her behind-the-scenes teacher, but if there was anything she didn't understand, she would ask her for advice. Therefore, in the past few years, outsiders have only seen Hua Yingying, whose poetry attainments have become higher and higher, but they have not seen Bai Qiuyan who is pointing behind the scenes.

Suddenly, there was a sound of pipa playing and singing next to my ears, which was the melancholy tone of a woman, singing: "The bright moon is vast, and the night should shine on Nanqiao Road." Sleepwalking in a familiar place, a pillow crying autumn rain. It's a pity that I don't live in Wucheng in life. Missed heart periods. The geese will go in autumn, and the sky is far away and the green mountains are twilight. ”

Bai Qiuyan heard the music and turned her head to look, but it was a blind girl playing and singing, an old man next to her was pulling an erhu, and the two were like father and son, sitting under the eaves at the door of a restaurant, borrowing two bamboo chairs, and singing here.

Listening to this song, Bai Qiuyan couldn't help but feel sour, as if she suddenly remembered that she had just separated a good sister, and a thin layer of mist appeared in her eyes, and her face looked infatuated. She stood beside a blue brick erected and let the raindrops splash on the corner of her skirt, unaware of it. The stunned appearance is promising, and I don't feel pity.

At this moment, five or six men without umbrellas came nearby, led by the man, richly dressed, holding a fan in his hand, looking up from time to time, making a casual appearance.

Bai Qiuyan and the two maids behind saw these men approaching, and involuntarily leaned in, and the men were about to pass by them, but the man with the fan suddenly stared at Bai Qiuyan and said to his companions: "This is not ...... Isn't this the girl from Yunxiangyuan? ”

Looking at the person who came, Bai Qiuyan knew that this person was Lu Bonian, and he also participated in the poetry meeting held by Hua Yingying two days ago, if it wasn't for the appearance of Song Tinggongzi, he almost let this person win the first place, Bai Qiuyan didn't have a good impression of him, and he just parted with Hua Yingying, so he naturally didn't have a good look on his face, so he said coldly: "I don't know you, please go away."

Lu Bonian smiled and said, "Girl, how can you not know me?" My name is Lu Bonian, and I am a Jinshi today. ”

Bai Qiuyan saw that the road in front of her was blocked by these men, so she raised her umbrella and walked to the street, who would have thought that this Lu Bonian would actually rush out in the rain, stretched out his hand to block her way, stared at her up and down, and said with a smile on his face: "Girl, I see that your appearance is no worse than Hua Yingying, you didn't see it before, I really forgive my clumsiness!"

"Posture ......" Bai Qiuyan chewed these two words repeatedly, a burst of anger surged in her heart inexplicably, her pretty face condensed a thin layer of frost, and said coldly: "What else do you have to say?" If not, please get out of the way! ”

"Hey~" Lu Bonian smiled and shook his fan: "Haven't you asked the girl's name yet?"

Bai Qiuyan continued to say coldly: "I'm going back, you get out of the way."

Lu Bonian continued to laugh and said: "Don't hide it from the girl, someone Lu received the document from the Ministry last night, and he will go to Qingzhou next month to take up his post and be the commander of Zhengqipin County......"

The word "county order", Lu Bonian deliberately said it very slowly, and when he said these two words, he deliberately observed Bai Qiuyan's face.

Who knew that Bai Qiuyan was not moved at all, and said slightly angrily: "What does it have to do with me that you are the county order?" Please get out of the way. ”

Lu Bonian not only didn't give way, but when Bai Qiuyan wanted to walk from the side, he stretched out his hand to block her: "Girl, I really think you are no worse than Hua Yingying." No, no, no, I think you're more beautiful than her. I was blind and didn't see it. The one surnamed Wang redeemed Hua Yingying, girl, how about I redeem yourself for you? ”

"No, I don't." Putting aside this brief refusal, Bai Qiuyan ignored Lu Bonian's obstruction, pushed him away and walked forward.

"Girl! Girl! Lu Bonian reached out and grabbed Bai Qiuyan's wrist, "I ......"

As soon as the word "I" came out, there was a "snap", a bright red five-finger print appeared on Lu Bonian's face, Lu Bonian only felt dizzy, and when he woke up, he felt that his face was hot again, he reached out to touch his face, his face was swollen, he looked at Bai Qiuyan blankly, unable to say half a sentence......

"Brother Lu! Brother Lu! Several of Lu Bonian's companions immediately ran over, hugging him and calling out one after another, as if their tones were a little concerned.

These are all the long-term and easy-going documents that Lu Bonian has said to take to Qingzhou, and he will rely on Lu Bonian to eat rice in the future, at this time, seeing Lu Bonian being beaten, he will inevitably feel angry, and he will start pointing at Bai Qiuyan.

"You prostitute! Don't be ignorant! ”

"How noble is our Lord Lu's identity, you dare to beat him? Do you know that you are fighting an official of the imperial court? ”

"A prostitute is a prostitute! Don't talk nonsense with her! Pull it to see the official! ”

“……”

Listening to these foul words, Bai Qiuyan's face turned blue and white for a while, and she almost fainted.

"Girl," at this time, Lu Bonian opened his mouth quietly, touched his cheek, and said with a grim smile on his face: "You should know what the crime is for beating an official of the imperial court on the street?" But...... I don't have to pursue it, as long as you can think about what I just said. Although I already have a wife's room, your heavy identity makes you a second room, and it is not a grievance for you. ”

Lu Bonian reached out again to grab Bai Qiuyan's wrist, and a triumphant smile appeared on his face: "You say...... Good no good? ”

"Bold thief!"

At this moment, a woman with a sword on her back rode a white horse and rushed over, the white horse rushed to Lu Bonian's body, and looked at it to collide, Lu Bonian was so shocked that his mouth opened wide.

Seeing that she was about to die, the woman with the sword on her back slammed the reins, the white horse hissed, raised a pair of front hooves, and then fell suddenly, stopping her steps, Lu Bonian was so frightened that his legs were weak.

"Smack!" The woman with the sword on her back slapped her hard from the horse, and no one could see how she made a move, and on the other side of Lu Bonian's face, five bright red marks appeared.

Lu Bonian only felt that both sides of his face were in pain, and tears were about to flow down his eyes, and he wanted to scold, but he was dizzy for a while, and he couldn't open his mouth at all, so uncomfortable that he half-knelt on the ground.

After beating Lu Bonian's slap, the woman with the sword on her back still didn't feel relieved, her figure jumped off the horse, and she swirled against the wind and rain in a neon dress, and her figure fluttered, but she saw her standing on the ground, her toes were light, her body was like a spinning top, and she flew around the sword, her feet were like springs, and she kicked Lu Bonian and the others in a blink of an eye, and these people fell to the ground, covered in mud and water, and were embarrassed.

"Why don't you get out of here?!"

The woman with the sword on her back buckled the sword behind her back and stared at Lu Bonian and the others, her face was cold and she glared angrily.

"She, she, she ......" Lu Bonian and the others, there is a monkey-faced man, he is Song Tianbao, two days ago when robbing the Song court, accidentally stabbed by this woman in the right shoulder, although the wound is not deep, after the application is not very serious, but this woman's appearance, like a ghost, in his heart indelible. At this moment, I saw this woman again, as if I had seen a ghost, and I couldn't speak for a long time.

"It turned out to be you." The woman with the sword on her back recognized him first, and said quietly: "I let you go once two days ago, it seems that I misplaced ......"

As he spoke, his figure was like thunder, and he came to Song Tianbao's side in a blink of an eye, stretched out his palm, and struck it out with a palm, which seemed to be a random palm, but he beat Song Tianbao into a fly, rolled in the air a few times, and fell to the ground in a zhang away.

It's a pity that his right shoulder, which was stabbed by a sword last time, is not healed, and he is slapped again, and this time I am afraid that it will be difficult to heal if he does not lie in bed for a hundred days.

Where would Lu Bonian and the others have thought that there would be such a powerful woman on the street of Yangzhou, and they would be beaten up indiscriminately, although they did have the suspicion of molesting the people's daughters, but they would not be so miserable......

"Woman...... Do you dare to report your name? Lu Bonian's eyes showed a cold smile, and the meaning of coldness was very obvious. thought that as long as this woman reported her name, he could ask the county government to send someone to arrest her for the crime of beating the court officials in the street.

The woman with the sword on her back had a frosty face, staring at Lu Bonian, and a sneer pulled out at the corner of her lips: "You are the Jinke Jinshi with the surname Lu, right?" Not only did she not have a registration number, but she knew his name first.

Listening to the question of the woman in front of him, Lu Bonian's eyes were a little dazed, and he didn't know what she meant.

The woman's eyes released a cold glow, and she said slowly, "I heard that you had a holiday with a person named Song Ting?"

Lu Bonian didn't know what he meant, and didn't dare to answer.

The woman with the sword on her back suddenly snorted: "Where is Song Ting?"

Lu Bonian shook his head.

At this time, Bai Qiuyan asked, "May I ask what you are looking for Song Gongzi?"

The woman with the sword behind her eyes was very angry, and she gritted her teeth and said fiercely: "I'm going to kill him!"

"What!?" Bai Qiuyan was like an electric shock, and her whole person suddenly became numb, she knew very well the ability of the woman in front of her, and it was really easy to kill Song Tinggongzi.

"Hahahaha! Good! At this time, Lu Bonian, who was still half-kneeling on the ground, laughed, his face was hideous, regardless of the pain on his face, he stood up and said: "I also saw that the surname Song was not pleasing to the eye, girl, go and kill him!"

The woman with the sword on her back snorted coldly, jumped on the horse, and was about to leave.

"I know where Song Tinggongzi is." Bai Qiuyan said suddenly.

"You know?" The woman with the sword on her back reined in and asked.

Bai Qiuyan stared at Lu Bonian defensively, and then said, "Yes, I know." However, I can't tell you here, you have to come with me......"

After sending the two maids behind him back to Yunxiang Courtyard first, Bai Qiuyan led the woman with the sword to a teahouse, and sat down in the quiet private room on the second floor, before Bai Qiuyan said to the woman with the sword: "If you want to know where Song Gongzi is, you must tell me first, why do you want to kill him?"

The woman with the sword on her back untied the sword and put it on the table, and said with an angry face: "His wife only has a few days to live, and he abandoned her and secretly fled somewhere." Such a ruthless and unrighteous person, do you think you should be killed? ”

Bai Qiuyan was so smart that she understood the misunderstanding at once, and immediately spit out three words: "You shouldn't kill it."

The woman with the sword on her back glared at her in surprise.

Bai Qiuyan said: "Song Gongzi said goodbye, not to escape from trouble, but to go to Suzhou Biyun Peak to ask for medicine. He hurried away, presumably in a hurry, forgetting to inform his family, he was eager to save his wife, so affectionate and righteous, why did you kill him? ”

The woman with the sword on her back was so stunned that she couldn't speak, and only said after a while: "Then how did you know that he went to Suzhou to ask for medicine?"

Bai Qiuyan told her how she met Song Ting last night, how she solved the mystery of the "Two Flowers", and how Song Ting went out of the city that night.

Listening to Bai Qiuyan's words, the woman with the sword on her back lowered her head, was speechless for a long time, suddenly got up, and hurriedly went downstairs, Bai Qiuyan chased after her and asked, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go to Suzhou to find him." The woman with the sword on her back rode on her horse and glanced back at Bai Qiuyan: "The tired girl will help me do something."

"What's the matter?" Bai Qiuyan asked.

"Go to the Song Mansion for me to report a letter, saying that I went to Suzhou to pick up the second son." The woman with the sword on her back said.

"Hmm." Bai Qiuyan nodded, and hurriedly asked, "What is the girl's name?"

"Phantom Sword."

When the words fell, the sound of horses' hooves was far away.
