After lunch, the sun is warm, and most people take this time to take a break to reserve some energy for the next night of revelry. The highlight of the festival begins after sunset and continues until the early hours of the next morning, when all activities are just appetizers.

Li Zaixing finished checking the guard post, walked to the hillside, and looked at the curtain of Yang Wei in the valley. After seizing the high slope occupied by Yang Wei, the Yang brothers and sisters lived next to Li Linfu, Yang Zhao was very careful, he only let Mrs. Yu Guo move here, and he did not move.

Li Zaixing, as a guard assigned by the Son of Heaven, did not need to be at the forefront. He rushed here in person, not only to abide by his duties, but also to clearly see Li Linfu's purple curtain.

Colorful tents are not uncommon in the high and low valleys, with the exception of purple. Purple is the color of the clothing of officials above the third grade, and it is also the most noble color except for the yellow used by the Son of Heaven, and it is rare for officials to be so high-profile. Li Linfu used purple on the curtain to show his authority and self-confidence, which was particularly conspicuous in the camps that covered the plain valley.

After looking at the valley where Yang Wei was located, Li Zaixing looked at Li Linfu's purple tent again, and he saw Xie Guanglong, who was also looking into the distance. He narrowed his eyes, a little surprised. Xie Guanglong's current position didn't seem to be the responsibility of a guard of his level.

Li Zaixing thought about it and asked people to call Pei Xuanqing. "Go and invite Xie Dalang to have a drink."

Just fought side by side with Li Zaixing, and won a big victory, and received a reward from Li Zaixing to the participants, Pei Xuanqing is now obedient to Li Zaixing. He didn't ask Li Zaixing why, and immediately went to arrange it. After about half an hour, Pei Xuanqing came back with a smile.

"Li Linfu suspected him of leaking secrets and kicked him out of the inner mansion." Pei Xuanqing gloated and said: "I persuaded him to switch to the Yang family, but he refused to agree. I think he seems to have something unspeakable, do you want to get him drunk and trap him? ”

Li Zaixing chuckled, Xie Guanglong has something unspeakable, he knows it clearly, why bother talking. However, judging from Li Linfu's ability to drive him out of the inner mansion so easily, it seems that Li Linfu has never really trusted him, and it is likely that he is just using him.

This guy is really a honey-bellied sword, cunning and changeable.

Li Zaixing suddenly had an idea, leaned over Pei Xuanqing's ear and said a few words, Pei Xuanqing listened, nodded again and again, snickered and turned around.

Li Zaixing looked at the huge purple tent in the distance, his eyes shrunk, and the corners of his mouth pursed a cold smile. He beckoned to Al Maidy and gave him a few commands. Al Maddy turned away. After a short time, Cui Zhao'er came over sneakily with a maid.

"Now going to Xinfeng?"

"Xinfeng is not as lively here as today."

Cui Zhao'er's face sank: "If you don't go to Xinfeng, what are you asking me to do?" It wasn't easy for me to sneak out on a trip. With that, he turned around and left.

Li Zaixing chuckled and said, "I came to you for something more interesting, I don't know if you're interested." ”

Cui Zhao'er immediately stopped: "What's the fun?" ”

"Steal someone." Li Zaixing pointed to the Li family in the distance: "I want to steal Li Linfu's daughter Li Tengkong." ”

"Stealing?" Cui Zhao'er immediately had stars in her eyes: "How can you steal this?" ”

As the sun set, the sky was fiery red, and Li Tengkong sat in the tent, looking at the sky in the distance, and was drunk for a while.

The remnant sun is like blood, looking so thrilling and so brilliant.

Li Tengkong remembered what Li Zaixing had said, but he had an ominous feeling. She was a little uneasy, turned around and went back to the tent, burned incense, and recited the "Lao Tzu Disaster Elimination Sutra", a volume of the Sutra has not yet been finished, she suddenly felt a tightness in her heart, and suddenly closed her mouth tightly. The fingers that were flipping through the book also tensed, and there was a soft "squeak" sound, and a cut was made in the page.

Her face turned pale, and she suddenly regretted it. For the sake of tranquility, she lived a little too remotely.

"Who is it?" She forced her composure, "Can you come out and see you?" ”

A tall figure stood up from the corner of the tent behind her, slowly walked to her side, and looked at her condescendingly. This person was wearing the strong suit of the Li family's guards, and he had a horizontal knife at his waist. A white ribbon floated on the knife ring.

She knew this ribbon and couldn't help frowning: "Xie Da, you drank wine?" ”

The tall figure nodded, raised a finger, and gave a soft "whew" to signal her to silence. Then he shoved a note in front of her. Li Tengkong took the note and spread it out to look at it. There are only a few words on it: Would you like to go to Lushan?

Li Tengkong raised his eyelids and glanced at him. He stood in front of the lamp, with his back to the lamp, and Li Tengkong couldn't see his face clearly. She pondered for a moment, lowered her head, and asked softly, "How to go?" ”

The man handed over another note. There were a lot of words written on this note, Li Tengkong looked at it carefully, and was hesitating, when suddenly someone outside came to report that Cui Zhao'er of the Cui family came to visit.

Li Tengkong opened her mouth, and for a moment, she was a little hesitant, not knowing whether to call someone in or act according to the instructions on the note. She looked at the tall and silent figure, suddenly sighed, got up and walked to the door of the tent, opened the door of the tent, and bowed to Cui Zhao'er who was standing outside the tent.

"The little lady is coming, how dare you."

Cui Zhao'er's eyebrows were picturesque, and her face was smiling: "I heard that real people practice here, and the slaves can't do their best, so they came to consult real people." She stretched out her hand and pointed to the three maids behind her: "A little fruit, not a tribute, please accept it with a real smile." ”

Li Tengkong glanced at the three maids, his eyes stayed on the maid in the middle for a moment, and he smiled bitterly, but nodded quietly and invited sideways. When the Li family guard at the door saw it, he bowed and retreated.

Cui Zhao'er entered the tent and immediately changed her face, her eyes were so excited that she was even a little crazy. She glanced at the man, who nodded. Cui Zhao'er was overjoyed, stared at Li Tengkong's eyes, and smiled: "Li Zhenren, are you ready?" ”

Li Tengkong sighed lightly: "Dare not obey your fate." ”

"That's great." Cui Zhao'er waved her hand, and the maid behind her immediately took action, it turned out that the maid was actually only Al Maddie and Cui Zhao'er's handmaid, and there was just a straw man in the middle, and they were sandwiched in the middle, looking like three people walking together. Cui Zhao'er took the clothes on the straw man and handed them to Li Tengkong: "Real person, quickly change into this clothes, I can take you out." ”

Li Tengkong stretched out his hand to stroke his collar, and suddenly his face turned red. She leaned sideways and looked at the tall figure under the lamp. The man didn't move, but Cui Zhao'er understood, walked over and pushed him, and shouted softly: "Don't leave yet, do you want to see a real person change clothes?" ”

Before the man moved, Li Tengkong blushed and said, "Okay, he probably doesn't worry about me and refuses to let me leave the place where he can see." Just let him be here, I'll just change my coat. ”

Cui Zhao'er listened, her eyes suddenly looked a little strange, and she glanced at the person fiercely.

Li Tengkong took off his robe in front of everyone, changed into the clothes of the straw man maid, and then stood behind Cui Zhao'er with the other two maids. Al Maddy naturally snuggled over, holding a short knife in his hand, sticking it to Li Tengkong's ribs, and a chill provoked Li Tengkong. Cui Zhao'er went out of the tent first, and then the three of them, at the door of the tent, Cui Zhao'er said loudly: "If the slave retires, he won't disturb the cultivation of real people." Please chant the scriptures in person and come back another day. ”

Li Tengkong forced his composure and said crisply: "Don't worry, little lady, take off the air and burn incense, chant for the little lady, may the old man bless the little lady, bless me with the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, and the world is peaceful." ”

"Thank you, real person." Cui Zhao'er bowed to the big tent, turned around and went. Li Tengkong and the other three people held the fruit plate, followed behind her, and walked out of the curtain of the Li family under the gaze of the Li family's guards. It was getting late, and it was difficult to see people's faces from a little distance, and those guards were all five or six away, and they didn't notice Li Tengkong walking in front of them.

Li Zaixing hid in the tent and watched Cui Zhao'er lead Li Tengkong away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. He then sat down on Li Tengkong's seat and chanted the scriptures softly. He didn't have to read it clearly, just made a little noise to make people outside the tent think that Li Tengkong was still inside. He inquired that no one would dare to come in and disturb Li Tengkong when he chanted the scriptures. Even if there is something wrong with the voice, no one will notice.

After reading for about half an hour, Li Zaixing's mouth was a little dry. In the previous life and this life, he probably didn't say so many things at once. He glanced at it, and saw that there was still a glass of cold wine on the case, so he picked it up and drank it in one gulp, picked up the fruit sent by Cui Zhao'er, wiped it on his clothes, ate it in a few bites, and then listened to the sound outside, lifted the corner of the tent, and slipped out from behind.

In the bamboo forest, Cui Zhao'er hugged her knees and sat opposite Li Tengkong, glancing at Li Tengkong from time to time. Li Tengkong closed his eyes and hung the curtains, muttering the scriptures, only his eyelashes moved from time to time.

There was a sound of footsteps, Li Zaixing pushed away the bamboo pole, walked over, handed her the robe that Li Tengkong had changed, and said to Cui Zhao'er: "The little lady can go back." ”

Cui Zhao'er stood up and glanced at Li Zaixing meaningfully: "You won't send me?" What if there is a traitor? ”

Li Zaixing looked at Cui Zhao'er in surprise, but Cui Zhao'er refused to retreat, Li Zaixing had no choice but to let Al Medi be optimistic about Li Tengkong and send Cui Zhao'er away. They left the bamboo forest one after another, and seeing the curtain of the Cui family in sight, Li Zaixing stopped.

"Little lady, I can only send it here."

Cui Zhao'er stopped, glanced back at the bamboo forest, glanced at Li Zaixing, and suddenly said, "Do you think you are particularly smart?" ”

Li Zaixing was at a loss and didn't know what he meant.

"Actually, you're the dumbest. This one isn't fun at all. Cui Zhao'er said loudly, and without waiting for Li Zaixing to answer, she walked forward quickly. Li Zaixing shrugged his shoulders in confusion, didn't bother to pay attention to it, and turned back to the bamboo forest.

Li Tengkong had already changed into a Taoist robe, she quietly looked at Li Zaixing who walked back, and suddenly said, "Are you going to kill my father?" ”

Li Zaixing was silent for a moment: "Yes." ”

Li Tengkong suddenly burst into tears. She looked at Li Zaixing quietly, letting tears slide down her face and stain the front of her robe. After a long time, she suppressed her crying and bowed down: "Please show mercy to the strong man's subordinates, leave him a whole corpse, and let him die not so painfully." ”
