Chapter 16: I'm going to turn myself in

After some tossing, when Luo Yun and his party stood under the golden plaque of the Imperial Mansion, the sun was already westward.

When the family at the door saw the return of the mistress, they immediately reported to the house, and when the servants dismounted from the servant service Mrs. Li, a sturdy woman in a light green skirt hurriedly walked out of the side door of the mansion. The woman walked quickly to the red breeze and bowed to greet her: "Madame is back." ”

Hongfu snorted, handed the horsewhip to the woman, and asked casually, "Fang'er, is there anything going on today?" ”

The woman named 'Fang'er' looked to be in her forties. The fat powder on his face can't hide the traces left by the wind and frost when he was young. Listening to Hongfu's name for her, Fang'er is younger than Hongfu, but Hongfu's face can't see the traces left by so many years.

"The mutton that Madame bought has been delivered in the afternoon. By the way, there is news from the Gong Guo Mansion that on the seventh day of the new day after tomorrow, the Gong Guo Guo will hold a sacrificial ceremony for three consecutive days. ”

Hong Fu listened and walked forward to the mansion: "Hmph, General Chai is doing something wrong again, asking for the blessing of the gods and Buddhas?" After saying it sarcastically, he seemed to suddenly remember something and was stunned, stopped, and muttered: "The seventh day of the first month...... Yes, it's Princess Zhao's death again...... Fang'er, prepare a sacrifice for me, and I will deliver it myself when the time comes. The husband is not in Beijing, and this heart will still be delivered. ”

"No. Madame rest assured. ”

Stepping into the mansion gate, Hongfu turned around and pointed at Luoyun and the others instructed Fang'er: "These people will live in the mansion for a few days, you go and order to pack up the guest rooms in the East Garden and let them stay." After speaking, he said to the three girls in red: "You follow Fang'er first...... Your name is Aunt Fang, go and change your clothes first, stay for the time being, and don't think about the rest. ”

The three women in red glanced at each other, and couldn't help but look at Di Luoyun beside them. Although it was forced to be helpless at the beginning, after all, things started because of him, and now I have to give a sentence. Who knew that as soon as Luo Yun entered the gate, he seemed to be shocked and stupid by the extravagance and magnificence of the Weiguo Mansion. looked around with stunned eyes, completely looking like a dirt bun who had never seen the world. This virtuous red-clothed man bit his silver teeth, and he couldn't wait to kick it over. Luan Nier knew that this son from the mountains was not such a dirt bun who had never seen the world, and there should be some reason for this appearance, and her eyes were slightly worried.

The red breeze is even more strange, this Weiguo Mansion is not the inner garden of the palace, how can Luo Yun look like this. "Hey, Cloud Kid. What to see? ”

Cheng Mu saw that Luo Yun was deaf to Mrs. Li's words, and was still distracted, so he hurriedly stepped forward and tugged Luo Yun's sleeve, "Brother Yun, Mrs. Li asked you." ”

Luo Yun came to his senses, but he didn't know how to explain it. As soon as he entered the mansion, he had a strange feeling, an inexplicable familiarity with everything around him, but he had obviously never been here. Neither in this life nor in vague memories, I have never come. Some people looked left and right to say about it: "The Weiguo Mansion is really extraordinary, from the outside it looks like such an inconspicuous mansion, but inside it is so magnificent and magnificent. ”

Hongfu could hear that Luo Yun was a little untruthful, but he didn't understand the reason, so he casually echoed: "Heh, this house is naturally good." This mansion was originally the mansion of the Yang family in the previous dynasty, and the husband granted the title of the prince, and when the first emperor rewarded the mansion, I took the initiative to choose here. He pointed to the corner of the eaves of the pillars and continued: "My husband doesn't like luxury, so after I moved in, I removed a lot of gold leaf jade ornaments and carved things with axes. Speaking of this, Hongfu seemed to think of something, and a smug smile appeared on his face: "It's a lot of household supplements." ”

Luo Yun didn't have any fun, and when he heard that this was the Yang family's mansion, he finally understood where his familiarity came from. Because he had seen detailed descriptions of the grass and trees in this house, he looked at those words, and naturally imagined the appearance of this house in his mind.

When reality suddenly crashed into his imagination, he subconsciously contrasted it with the fantasy in his mind, looking around for the object that could be printed on the certificate. After hearing Mrs. Li say that he had dismantled a lot of gorgeous ornaments in exchange for money, he made up for the missing objects in his mind, and his imagination and reality finally slowly overlapped.

He sighed with mixed feelings, speechless.

Hongfu was thinking of something proud in his heart, but he didn't pay attention to Luo Yun's sigh, and pretended to wave his hand to everyone boldly: "Most of the people in the mansion have gone into battle with their husbands. There are only a few old and weak women and children left, so you can eat and wear as you please, and you can't find anyone to serve you. ”

Hearing this, Luo Yun's sentimental mood was diluted a lot, and he couldn't help but sneer. Who would have thought that the dignified Yipin Guogong Mansion would be this sparsely populated appearance right now. It's no wonder that the red whisk goes in and out alone, and he doesn't even bring a follower. I thought it was a maverick girl with a red whisk, and she was free and easy, but who thought that there was really no one to take her.

"Thanks to Mrs. for her protection, the red clothes are already grateful, and our sisters will solve it by themselves, and we dare not distract Mrs. Lao."

Mrs. Li looked at Hongyi with satisfaction and nodded, then glanced at Luo Yun and the three of them with a pout, Cheng Wugang raised his hand and was about to make a statement to Hongyi, but he heard Luo Yun say with a smile: "Luo Yun only thought he had arrived at his mother's house." ”

Mrs. Li raised her eyebrows in surprise, but she didn't understand the deep meaning of Luo Yun's words, and she only felt that this young man had behaved a little strangely since he stepped into the mansion. But after all, I didn't know him for a long time, so I didn't know what his nature was, so I didn't delve into it. "In that case, go back to your room and rest for a while. I'll entertain you for dinner tonight. Then they all come to the front hall together. ”

Everyone went down to the guest room to rest under the guidance of Aunt Fang. Luo Yun had something on his mind, and he didn't say anything more to Hongyi. After explaining what happened to Uncle Wu Mu'er in the room, he didn't rest, and took Xiao You around the Weiguo Mansion.

At this time, in Pingkangfang, Jin Wuwei's search for wounding monsters was fruitless. Chang'an County arranged for people to take away the comatose officials, and after seeking medical treatment and finding that they were all slightly injured, the county lieutenant and the new county lord were relieved.

As for the Wei family, they were not so lucky, they seriously injured two people, and the rest were all broken muscles and bones, Pei Gongzi didn't know if he was struggling too much, the flesh and blood on his legs were blurred by sharp teeth, and there was a big paw print on his back. It was also thanks to the injuries on his body that Jin Wuwei was convinced that they were indeed injured by the fierce beast.

For a time, rumors spread in Chang'an City, Pingkangfang was closed again, Chang'an County and Jinwuwei soldiers sent people to fill the city with a large rope, until it was dark, rummaged through the whole fang, the wild dogs caught a few, but the fur of the fierce beast did not find a single one.

The residents of the square were all in danger and hid in their homes and closed their doors. There is no need to do the business of Hualou Restaurant. The miscellaneous servants were armed with knives, guns and sticks, patrolling around. After the closed-door drum was beaten, Jin Wuwei left behind the night patrol guards, and most of them also withdrew and returned to the camp under the leadership of the brigade commander.

There was such a big commotion in Chang'an City, and in the evening, the details of the whole thing were finally placed on the desks of Jing Zhaoyin and the Wei family. Defined as a dancing girl who has absconded, the red dress is constantly mentioned as a key figure. But the white-clothed young man who disappeared together had no clue, and the young man and the black beast appeared as if out of thin air, and they couldn't find their origin.

On the second day, when the file on the matter was finally submitted to His Majesty the Emperor through Jing Zhaoyin, the final conclusion of the deliberations of the ministers was attached.

In the imperial history, the Wei family had no way to teach his son, and he committed murder in the downtown area. Wei Shizhong wrote to Jingzhao Mansion to comb the public security management in the neighborhood and ordered to strengthen the inspection. Shangshu Youcheng Wei Ting blamed the Jin Wuwei soldiers for slackness, and there were many omissions in the city defense, which caused the fierce beasts to enter Beijing without checking and leaving Beijing without knowing. The Ministry of Military Affairs was responsible for rectifying the city's defenses.

coincided with the fact that the Imperial Lieutenant Chi Gong was there at the court meeting, and he was dissatisfied when he heard the words. The class played satirically, saying that the war in the northwest was for the sake of the world, and the children of the powerful in Beijing had become a common practice, and they didn't know what merit their fathers had in their families, so they ran rampant and arrogant all day long. No matter how strict the city defense soldiers are, they can't find out how tightly the city defense can be on the heads of these gentlemen.

Seeing that the ministers were about to quarrel again, the emperor hurriedly waved his hand to stop. This case was only a trivial matter in the emperor's mind. Except for the missing young man in white contained in the file, which made him subconsciously think of another young man who disappeared on the same day, there was nothing that made him care. However, the emperor did not link the two teenagers together. After casually approving Jingzhao Mansion's request to track down and arrest the three fugitive slaves from the sect, and instructing Wei Ting to go back and strictly discipline the children of the clan, the matter was revealed.

However, in an hour, the conclusion of the court meeting on this matter was transmitted to the Patriotic Mansion. Mrs. Li summoned Luo Yun and a few people in red to announce the matter. Luo Yun and Hongyi bowed their heads and remained silent after hearing this.

Mrs. Li looked at the two of them, and finally asked the three women in red, "What are your plans in the future?" ”

Hongyi bowed his head and said with a self-deprecating smile: "What else, it is impossible for the imperial court to spread the map to the world for a few of us fugitive slaves, of course, it is to find a place where no one knows us, and live cautiously from now on!" As he spoke, he glared at the culprit of all this angrily.

Luan Nier glanced at Luo Yun timidly, lowered her head, and said in a voice like a mosquito...... I heard Brother Mu say that Lijiazhai is in the mountains, and the official mission does not go once a year, and the slave ...... Nu thinks ......" Luan Nier looked at Luo Yun with longing eyes, "Nu thinks Li Jiazhai is very good......"

Lang Xuan sneered when she heard this, but it was rare that she didn't teach Luan Nier a lesson, and her future was uncertain, so how could she laugh at her sisters who had expectations for life.

Mu'er said happily: "Li Jiazhai will definitely protect the three girls!" Lang Xuan couldn't help but sneer again, and looked at the red clothes, but saw that the red clothes and Luo Yun were fighting side by side three steps apart, both of them lowered their heads, expressionless, and silent.

Mrs. Li looked at the two of them and sighed secretly, waved her hand to everyone and said, "You can live in peace in the mansion." When the limelight passes, let's make arrangements. The government may not go all out to arrest Naer and others, but the Wei family has suffered such a big loss, but it may not be easy to let go. Jingzhao Wei's forces are all over Jingzhao Mansion, and the three of you must be cautious in your actions these days. ”

"No, Mrs. Xie Li." The three women in red bowed, and then left without looking back.

Luo Yun looked at the back of the red clothes leaving, sighed gloomily in his heart, turned to Mrs. Li and said, "Luo Yun has a letter that I want to ask Mrs. Li to send someone to Qingyun Temple and hand it to Daochang Sun." ”

Since returning to the Guogong Mansion, Hongfu's every move, smile and smile have become more and more like the Duchess of Guo, unlike the arrogance and rudeness when she was outside. Mrs. Li smiled: "Naturally, you can give the letter to Fang'er, and she will do it for you." ”

"Mrs. Xie." Luo Yun thanked him and then retreated. Cheng Wu's father and son followed Luo Yun silently and left. And Xiao You has disappeared since last night, but it is the big tiger of Wei Guogong, who has been exceptionally quiet since last night.

Aunt Fang's work efficiency is very fast. After dinner, Luo Yun received a reply from Sun Daochang, learning about some of the things that happened after he left Qingyun Temple. After pondering all night, Luo Yun wrote several letters under the lamp, telling the elders of Lijiazhai and Aunt Mei about the events of the past few days, with different expressions, but they all said their next thoughts and asked them to understand.

Later, he wrote back to Sun Daochang, explaining his thoughts, and did not expect Sun Daochang to come forward to help and participate in such mundane things. Or just hope that one more person can understand his thoughts.

After loading a few letters, the sky outside the window was already faint. Luo Yun blew out the oil lamp and washed his face with a basin of cold water. Leaning on the couch and pretending to sleep, my mind constantly analyzes what I want to do today, and thinks about whether there is any omission in the words for everyone.

For another half an hour, there was a sound of Uncle Wu getting up and freshening up outside the house. Luo Yun opened his somewhat sour eyes, got up and wiped his face with a wet towel. After tidying up his appearance, he pushed the door and walked out, smiling and greeting Uncle Wu Mu'er.

After Mrs. Li had breakfast alone in the middle, Aunt Fang went inside to report: "Madam, Cheng Wu Cheng Mu and his son are here to bid you farewell." ”

"Resignation?" Mrs. Li's brows furrowed, and then she reacted and asked, "What about Li Luoyun?" ”

"Li Gongzi didn't come with him, and it is said that he went to hang out in the martial arts arena." Aunt Fang paused for a moment and continued to report: "The father and son of the Cheng family said that they had something to do when they went back to the mountain first, and they would return the day after tomorrow at the latest. The concubine also saw that the head was ...... The tiger was also in the car...... "In the Weiguo Mansion, there is such a pair of masters, and the tigers are often dealt with, but the tigers in the mansion are really far worse than the black tigers." When I saw it, I couldn't help but be stunned. It's like his husband is also a general, and his grandfather is also a general, but the power of martial arts is incomparable.

Mrs. Li couldn't guess Luo Yun's thoughts for a while, so after a little thought, she instructed Fang'er: "Give their carriage the decoration of my Weiguo Mansion, and then arrange for someone to send them out of the city." The city defense inspection must be strict in the past two days, so it is better to be careful. After Fang'er was ordered to leave, Mrs. Li wore a few simple earrings, beads, a little powder, and a silver-collared crane, and went out to look for the martial arts field.

In the martial arts arena, before the sky was dark, a thin and lonely shadow came. Dressed in a gray skirt, with a red silk waist, and two Yue Nu swords, she danced until dawn.

Luo Yun came to the martial arts arena and saw this beautiful and powerful picture facing the rising sun. The two Yue Nu swords flew up and down, like two bold brushes, stained with the red morning sun, staining the dancer's body with red glow. Just looking at it like this, it seems that I smell the aroma of wine between my nose, like a glass of mellow Gaochang wine, presented in a glass glass. The red liquor swirls in the glass, and the mellow aroma overflows, and the red that comes out of the glass glass is dyed with a haze.

This scene is like a picture scroll, which is fascinating; It's like drinking good wine, it's intoxicating.

The dedicated dancers finally found the only audience. The dancing figure came to an abrupt end. A faint vapor of water rose on the red cloth's body, put the sword into the sheath, and walked straight in the direction of Luo Yun.

Luo Yun looked at the approaching beauty, and was a little nervous in his heart, he opened his mouth to say hello, but the voice was still in his throat, but he didn't glance at him in the red clothes, and walked straight past him. Only then did Luo Yun see clearly that sweat was rising in the hairline of the red clothes, and the clothes on his back had already been soaked with sweat, clinging to his thin body.

Seeing the red clothes leave, Luo Yun slowly walked into the martial arts arena, walked to the position where the red clothes danced, looked down at the little water marks in the loess under his feet, and felt a lot of emotion in his heart, some sad, some complicated, some ...... Know. Know what you want and do something.

A slightly mocking voice interrupted Luo Yun's musings, "What, have you finally made up your mind to practice martial arts?" It's too late for your little body to learn martial arts. ”

Luo Yun followed the sound and looked at it, only to find that the Red Whisk Girl had stood behind him at some point. Bowing to Mrs. Li to greet him, Hongfu just waved his hand casually and said, "You don't need so many courtesies." ”

"Yun's body and bones are a little difficult to practice martial arts. I originally thought that this was an orchid garden, and I wanted to come and walk around and relax, but I didn't expect it to be a martial arts field. ”

Hongfu shook his head when he heard this, and said casually: "This is indeed a garden. But the original owner of this house was a civil official, and there was no martial arts in the house. My husband and I are both martial arts practitioners, so we have no choice but to tear down the garden and level a martial arts arena. After speaking, Hongfu suddenly came to his senses, his brows were tightly locked, and his eyes looked at Luo Yun fixedly: "How do you know that this is an orchid garden?!" ”

Luo Yun stammered and didn't know how to explain, but Hongfu didn't let him go, and asked aggressively: "Since you entered the mansion, I thought you were acting very strange. Have you ever been to my house? Why are you so familiar with what this house used to look like? As he spoke, he couldn't help but shake his head and veto his thoughts: "It's impossible, you're only a few years old." The original owner of this house ......"

As if awakened, as if in disbelief, the eyes of the red whisk staring at Luo Yun contained more and more scrutiny, wanting to ask Li Luoyun what his identity was, but he was worried and couldn't speak.

Luo Yun turned around, avoiding the inquiring gaze of the Red Whisk Girl, he didn't know whether to answer Red Whisk's question or not, so he could only divert the topic and ask, "Mrs. Li came to Luo Yun on purpose, is this just to ask this?" ”

Hongfu came to his senses and temporarily suppressed the doubts about Li Luoyun in his heart, no matter what his background was, he could slowly investigate it, and he was not in a hurry at the moment. Slightly collected his thoughts, slowed down his tone and asked, "Did you let your two companions and Xiao You return to Yunshan?" ”

"Yes." Luo Yun turned his head and glanced at Hongfu, and took the initiative to explain: "Didn't Madam leave me just for Zhenyue and your big tiger?" I asked Mu'er to go back and bring Zhenyue here, so that I could finish one of my wife's affairs as soon as possible. However, Zhenyue is not as smart and clever as Xiao You, and there are many people on Chang'an Road, so I am afraid that Mu'er will not be able to suppress it on the road, so let Xiao You go back together, and be more disciplined on the road. ”

"Oh, you have a heart." Hongfu thanked lightly, she didn't believe that Luo Yun sent all her relatives away just to fulfill her family's big tiger. Luo Yun hadn't seen her big tiger since she entered the mansion, how could she be so enthusiastic.

Luo Yun stared at the soil in front of his toes in a daze, and suddenly spit out five words: "I'm going to turn myself in." ”

Red and phoenix's eyes widened, she guessed that Luo Yun had some plans, but she didn't expect such an outrageous plan, her lips rolled and spit out four words: "You are sick!" ”
