Chapter 9: The finale of the song has not fallen
Before the pipa girl could say more, she was bumped into her arms by the nervous Juanier who walked away with her head down. 'Oops', the red-clothed eyes quickly helped the two girls. The pipa girl touched the pipa on the floor in her hand, and hurriedly hugged it in her arms nervously to look up and down, and was relieved to see that there was no damage, and then glared at Juanier angrily.
"I walked without eyes! Break my pipa, see if I don't cut the peony embroidered dress you treasured. Seeing Jeniel shrinking and hiding behind the red clothes in fear, the pipa girl smiled with satisfaction: "What's the matter?" Afraid of being like this, could it be that I stole something from a guest? Don't hide it, the red clothes have no silver hairpin for no reason, if you get something valuable, take it out and give it to your sisters. ”
Jenier shook her head vigorously, last time a sister stole a gold pendant from a Hu merchant, and it was discovered. That Hu Shang didn't blink a lot of money, but he was very stingy with the woman who accompanied him. The sister also thought that a gold pendant weighing a few taels would be lost, but who knew that Hu Shang would not relentlessly find it, and insisted that it was lost in Zhan Lu Building. When it was found out, the sister was beaten to death.
It's not because that Hu businessman is rich, no matter how rich a Hu man is, it is nothing in Datang. It's just because the boss thinks that Hu Shang has lost Zhan Lulou's face by making a big noise.
Raised his right arm, took off his wide sleeves, stretched out his palm to reveal the two silver hairpins, handed them to the red clothes, and said with bright eyes: "I picked up my sister's silver hairpin." If the fall is not serious, just find a silversmith to repair it. ”
The red-clothed man smiled gently at Jeniel, took the silver hairpin and put it away. The pipa girl dotingly stretched out a hand and pinched Nier's pink cheek: "Oh, Xiao Nizi has made a meritorious service." My sister will get you something delicious to eat at night, and treat you. ”
Jenier wanted to hide from the hand that the pipa girl stretched out, but she didn't dare to hide, and pouted aggrievedly, which made the pipa girl laugh with her pinched smiling face. The three of them standing here naturally attracted the attention of people who came and went. The red clothes glanced at the others who were looking at them and waved his hand at the pipa girl: "Don't make trouble, go back to the house first, don't let people see jokes here." ”
Lang Xuan snorted coldly at those people, turned around and hugged the pipa and left first. The red clothes took Janier and followed Lang Xuan to the backyard wing. Juanier looked at the quiet side face of the red cloth, gritted her teeth and whispered "Sister......" at the gaze of the red cloth, Juanier's left hand couldn't help but tighten again, and reluctantly raised it, revealing the green jade ring yang pendant that was held hot by her......
Inside and outside the building, the lights and candles and the silver moon rise.
Out of the gate of Zhan Lu Building, Luo Yun didn't care about any image, and ran to the stable with Cheng Mu quickly. The horse servants guarding the stables were surprised to greet the two galloping figures when they saw them, Luo Yun and Cheng Mu had no time to take care of them, and went straight to their carriage. The horse servant stood at the door of the stable, inexplicably scolding the neuropathy in his heart, and when he turned his head, he saw four or five big men shouting, "They're running this way!" "Chased after me.
If you want to say that you work in this Qinglou Chu Pavilion, you are jealous of fighting and fighting, and you can be said to be well-informed. There is no one who does not cause trouble among the children of wealthy and powerful families, so when he saw this posture, the horse servant did not hesitate to turn around and hide in the stable. When the men chased them in, they dodged and ran out.
These wealthy family slaves really fought, and few of them did not hurt the pond fish. Anyway, for them, innocent or not, it's okay to say "hit the wrong person" after beating someone. Do you want to reason? Then you're really fighting.
The other party is outnumbered, and the chase is tight. Luo Yun didn't expect to be able to get on the carriage and fled immediately. Fighting is definitely inevitable, but with him and Mu'er, against a group of well-trained men, there is absolutely no chance of winning. And let Xiao You make a move, always find a way not to expose it to more people as much as possible. Otherwise, they will not face the thugs but Jin Wuwei.
Therefore, after Luo Yun and Cheng Mu found their own carriage. Luo Yun swept around and selected the alley between Zhan Lu Building and the courtyard building next to it. It was just getting dark, and there was no light in the alley, and it was a corner where no one would look at it in the dark. It is also an excellent place for murder, kidnapping, extortion, murder, and abandonment of corpses. Of course, it's also a great place to hide your tracks from a black beast outside of the forest.
Luo Yun smiled with satisfaction, patted the outer wall of the carriage, and after hearing the low whine of Xiao Yu in the car, he pulled Cheng Mu over the fence. Then he saw the pursuers shouting and rushing over, and turned around and ran into the dark alley. When the thugs saw where Luo Yun and the two ran to, they couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that these two people were so knowledgeable and didn't know whether they were alive or dead, we must live up to their kindness in saving themselves the pain of carrying it, and not break their hands and feet.
The Hao family slaves of the Wei family, who smiled arrogantly and chased over the fence into the alley, ignored the malicious smile on the corner of Luo Yun's mouth when he turned around. Subsequently, a group of slave thugs had just entered the dark alley. Suddenly, a long whistle sounded in the alleyway.
The black shadow of the blue color leaped out of the carriage with great agility, and the unconcealed might of the beastmaster suddenly made the horses full of stables scream in horror 'Herod', and tried to break free from the reins and escape. In contrast, the dwarf pony who had been driven by a group of tall horses earlier, and could not get close to the manger and could not eat forage, was the most calm. Taking advantage of the panic of his companion who was bullying it, he rushed to the manger and ate his head.
Xiao Yu didn't have time to pay attention to these 'food', and his figure flashed over the fence and jumped into the dark alley. Even if someone who happens to pass by and look at this place sees it, they will only feel that it is a flower in front of them. I would not have thought that the black shadow that flashed by was not a wild cat or wild dog, but a fierce tiger that could kill people.
A few short screams were heard in the dark alley, and then there was no movement. Then, Luo Yun and Cheng Mu walked out in a leisurely manner. Unhurriedly, he climbed over the fence and entered the stable, led the horse that was munching, set up the carriage, turned his head to look around, and saw that there was no one around. Luo Yun lifted the curtain, his left hand was straightened and his lips blew a whistle, Xiao You quickly jumped out of the dark alley, and jumped directly into the carriage with a few jumps.
And with the reappearance of Xiao You, the group of horses that had just settled down neighed again, and their hooves kicked and struggled. Luo Yun flashed into the carriage, Cheng Mu flicked the horsewhip, and the pony who had just swallowed the grass in his mouth moved on all fours, trotted out of the stable, and began its after-dinner walk.
The carriage went all the way out of the gate of Pingkangfang and galloped along the street. There are obviously fewer pedestrians on the road, and occasionally they are in a hurry. Luo Yun, who was lying on Xiao You's body on the inside of the carriage, unconsciously scratched Xiao You's chin, constantly thinking about the previous peerless beauty in his mind, and suddenly laughed. Cheng Mu, who was concentrating on driving, couldn't help but wonder when he heard the laughter: "What is Brother Yun laughing at?" ”
Luo Yun couldn't help but smile and lifted the corner of the curtain and said to Cheng Mu: "I laughed at me before I went out, I was afraid that the wine and food in this Chang'an restaurant would be expensive and I couldn't pay the bill, so I specially brought all the silver taels that Aunt Mei gave me." As a result, I didn't expect the two of us to watch such a wonderful sword dance, eat and drink again, and finally eat the overlord meal, and we didn't spend any money! ”
Cheng Mu was stunned when he heard this, and then remembered that because they were chased by those thugs, the two left in a hurry, and they didn't go to the account. And the miscellaneous servants in the restaurant were afraid of being affected, and no one came up to ask for food. The two of them really ate back to white food.
"Hehe, isn't it. Thanks to that oily and noodle boy, we saved a lot of money. But it's worth the money, the double swords of the lady in red are really powerful! I'm dazzled......"
The two brothers talked and laughed and hurried on the road, and when they returned to the Taoist temple, they just remembered the closed-door drum. Uncle Wu had been waiting anxiously in front of the gate, and when he saw the carriage coming back from a distance, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he was about to reprimand the playful brothers with a straight face. I didn't want Luo Yun to see Uncle Wu's face was not good, so without waiting for Uncle Wu to speak, he preemptively asked, "Uncle Wu has been running outside for a long time, but have you gained anything?" ”
Thinking of the experience of asking around without a clue during the day, and even running several squares to find nothing, Cheng Wu couldn't help but shake his head and sighed. Words of reprimand could not be spoken. However, Luo Yun was even more curious when he saw Uncle Wu's dejected appearance, and on the way back to the small courtyard, he led the carriage and asked Uncle Wu: "I don't know if Uncle Wu is going out...... Looking for someone? ”
Cheng Wu nodded, and did not hide it: "I suddenly remembered the general I followed back then." After I arrived in Yunshan, I lost the news of the general, and I have not known my whereabouts. I always thought that the general might still be alive, so when I came to Chang'an, I wanted to try my luck and look for it. Pity...... Alas, Chang'an City is too big......"
"Oh, there are hundreds of thousands of people living in one hundred and eight squares in Chang'an City, and it is naturally not so easy to find people. If Uncle Wu's general is alive, he should still be in the army, right? Uncle Wu didn't ask those Jin Wuwei on duty? ”
Cheng Wu helped unload the carriage, "I asked, why didn't I ask." But no one knows. Alas, perhaps the general has long since returned to the field, or ...... Die on the battlefield. Saying that, Cheng Wu sighed heavily, with a gloomy look on his face.
Luo Yun and Cheng Mu looked at each other and didn't know how to persuade each other. It's too normal to die in a war these days, let alone a general, even if it's a commander in the army, if you say you die in battle, you will die in battle. The generals of more than ten years ago may not live until now.
Luo Yun thought about it and felt that Uncle Wu cared so much, and it was better to keep some hope in his heart, so he opened his mouth to persuade: "It doesn't have to be that you will die in battle, Chang'an City is so big, Uncle Wu only found a few squares today?" Tomorrow, Mu'er and I will accompany Uncle Wu to look for it again, maybe we will meet it in which workshop. By the way, what is the name of Uncle Wu's general? ”
Cheng Wu thought about it and felt that it was indeed too early to make an assertion now, how could a general be so brave and die in battle so easily. Hope ignited in my heart, and I couldn't help but feel a little more energetic. Nodding at Luo Yun and saying, "What Yun'er said is that you have to look for it again." My name and surname are all given by the general, and I have to find the whereabouts of the general to feel at ease. The general's surname is Cheng, and his name is Jin. Jeju people's. ”
"Cheng bites the golden ......" Luo Yun pouted and thought for a while, he really couldn't remember that he had heard of such a general.
Deep in the mountains, the news is blocked. Except for the world-famous generals of the Tang Dynasty, most of the civil and military ministers are not well known. If you are a person from Chang'an, you may know more.
If a few of his uncles had come over, there might have been a way to find out. But the three people who came on this trip have not been out of the mountain for more than ten years. In the early years, the Tang Dynasty raised troops to attack the Sui, and when the war in Guanzhong was in turmoil, the children of Li Jiazhai went out of the mountains to participate in the war. But Cheng Wu didn't go out.
When Cheng Wu was in Wagang, he was also a man of strong blood and courage. Otherwise, how could the general pick up a personal soldier to protect him. But the subsequent defeat killed Cheng Wu's courage. After stolen life, he no longer had the courage to fight on the battlefield.
At that time, Luo Yun had just been born, and Mu'er was already two years old. Lijiazhai also needs to be guarded, so he ...... Cheng Wu has not been out of the mountain for more than ten years.
The three of them are really unfamiliar with each other in Chang'an City. Maybe he can ask Sun Daochang about the military generals of Chang'an City, he should know more. So the three of them discussed asking Sun Daochang again tomorrow morning, and then went to sleep with their own worries.
Luo Yun's thoughts flew, and the small courtyard turned off the lights early and fell into a deep sleep. Therefore, Luo Yun and the others didn't know that Sun Simiao specially sent someone back to spread the word: stay in the palace and not return for the time being; Remember to take your medication on time.
Just an hour before the drum sounded at the closed door, Luo Yun was still enjoying the song and dance in Zhanlu Building. Sun Simiao, who was supposed to retire from the palace, heard that the queen was coughing and wheezing hard, and pinched the green jade gourd in his arms, but after all, he couldn't hold back and wanted to try the effect. Summoning the little yellow door that leads the way, turn around and ask to see the eldest grandson queen!
