At dusk, the sky is dark and dark, the flowers in front of the hall are innumerable for the spring blossoms to bloom, the colors are rich and harmonious, and the colors of the sunset are smudged with poetry and picturesqueness, quiet and soft, indifferent and elegant.

Let's say that I got a secret agreement that day, and I returned to live in the Beizheng Office as soon as possible in the evening, and made three copies of the true and false secret agreement according to the style. After repeatedly pondering the baking of the cement, I was sure that the appearance was exactly the same, and then I put away the real and false secret together.

One of them is handed over to the tea fairy, and the tea fairy is transferred through his own channels. The other copy, the day before preparing to leave, was handed over to the hidden spy who came to the courtyard of the North Political Office to hand in the high-grade satin-Wu lady Liu, who was originally weaving by the Liu family, because I borrowed the kite when I first came, I made hands and feet on the kite of the beautiful figure, and flew the fire lantern with the signal painted with the joint, so the Liu family came at the right time. There's also a copy that I keep close to me.

Because Tokugawa had arranged for me to return by merchant ship, and there was already a retreat route on the Beiming side, which was "the meeting at the three gates of the West Corner Gate at the third quarter of the time", which would not be a major matter even if I was followed, I informed Tokugawa that I needed to land at Hengxiao Castle on the west side of the Beiming River, and that there was a man from Prince Rui on that side to receive me, and in order to hide people's eyes, it was better to arrive at night, and he arranged for me to take a merchant ship that could go ashore at night in the area.

As expected, due to the restrictions on trade between the two sides during the war, this task was like a shell, seemingly careless, but in the end it was selected to choose a merchant ship for the Japanese satin trade, which probably had dozens of dart masters and three shopkeepers who pressed the goods, and I was mixed in with it, but it was not conspicuous.

The tea fairy walked with me, and each of them wore straw-woven shoes, merchant hats, merchants' heads, and the best green robes of satin tie-dye—after all, they were Japanese satin traders, and if they were not the best Japanese satin, they would not look like them, but they could only use green robes, and if they went to sea and wore those intricate embroidered Japanese satin haicoats, it was useless.

I looked at the way the two of them were dressed, and there shouldn't be anything wrong with me.

When the night gradually came, the tea fairy and I got on the boat in the dark, and after most of the journey, the boatman suddenly held a large number of white robes and white hats and distributed them to me and others in turn, and I had to take it when I saw that everyone was not surprised.

The ominous premonition in my heart rose and jumped, I looked sideways at the tea fairy under the lamp and candle on the side, and finally asked her, "This white robe and white hat, but it is prepared for the shore?" ”

The tea fairy fiddled with the lamp and candle in front of her, the light and dark tones changed on her beautiful face, she opened her eyes and opened the door again to make sure that there was no one around her room, and then lowered her voice in a surprised tone, and whispered to me in Xinyue Chinese, "Don't you know? Prince Beiming Jing has been mourned, and according to the regulations, the spirit is still suspended, so a cadre of merchants and others are required to enter the country in white clothes and white hats, and mourn like the people of Beiming, thinking that they can only revoke these costumes after the burial of 7749 days. ”

When I heard this, I only felt a sudden feeling in front of me.

Although it was expected, the pain in my heart was also released by crying on the way to the envoy, but at this moment, I still felt a tingling in my heart.

It was easy to suppress my emotions and come back to my senses, and when I saw that the tea fairy was observing me, I had to sigh and say, "I didn't know, when did it happen?" ”

"More than half a month ago," Cha Xian's indifferent answer and scrutiny of me made me understand in my heart that, at least on the surface, she was the person Xinyue had installed in Luo Wei.

That is to say, one of my true and false secret proposals of the Liu family will go to the eldest princess, one of the tea fairies will go to Xinyue, and my share will be given to Prince Rui.

The tea fairy removed the ribbon on her head, and she gathered her head there, seeing that I had been in a daze, she suddenly said, "There are many people who followed Prince Jing to martyrdom this time. ”

I was even more shocked by this sentence, because of the funeral martyrdom, don't talk about Beiming, it is Xinyue, and it has been abolished for many years, there is no reason why Prince Jing is like this behind him, so he hurriedly said, "How do you say this?" ”

The tea fairy flushed a set of half-new, slightly dusty purple clay pots and bowls in front of her, and said two more glasses of water, pushing one in front of me, and she also drank the water, and said, "It's a long story." Prince Rui returned to Beiming for recuperation due to illness, it was rumored that he was very ill, but he was well after a few weeks of recuperation, and at this time the envoy who went to the peace conference insisted that Prince Jing participate in the final signing of the peace conference, so Prince Jing went"

As she spoke, she looked at me, and a huge hole in my heart seeped open as if it had been broken, and she said, "I'm listening." ”

"As you know, the matter of the peace negotiation has been discovered by General Kangxiu, so he sent people to assassinate him, looking for an opportunity to catch them all, and finally found the opportunity to sign the peace agreement, and then, unintentionally, some of the assassinations injured Prince Jing......"

I squinted, my heart as bright as the moonlight shining on the snow.

I only said in my heart, whether General Yasuhide sent someone to assassinate him, or General Tokugawa killed him in order to kill him, do you think how to claim it? - At least for the time being, it seems that it can be maneuvered enough to allow the killer to assassinate at the right opportunity to sign the peace agreement, to be able to maneuver around the proposal of Prince Jing to sign by the envoy of Luo Wei, and to finally let Prince Jing go to sign the Beiming Imperial Court, and to break through the defense line and really succeed in the assassination - this must have been jointly promoted by Luo Wei and the forces within Beiming, and I am almost certain that this is one of the most important conditions for Prince Rui to privately reach a treaty with Tokugawa Shogun for the resale of weapons at the risk of a possible backlash in the future. borrowed the hands of each other's outsiders, except for each other's henchmen, and it was really a poisonous plan.

But what can I do? When I go back this time, everyone will think that I am Mr. Jing of Prince Rui, right? And Huang Chun, who really manipulated the intrigue between these people, was completely clean, and no one even had any evidence that he had anything to do with all these treacherous things.

A humble gentleman with a light breeze, an evil life and death contract, what can people believe in this world?

Thinking of this, I sighed again, and lay straight on the couch in the cabin, forgetting even the male and female guards for a while, and only asked again, "And then?" ”

"Prince Jing is sick with old and new injuries together, and the illness is inevitably a little heavy, and he will be raised until the beginning of the month, and all methods have been used, and the lord of Beiming is sincere for Prince Jing's illness to be able to get God's mercy, and the things that have been advocated for many years against superstitious monks and monks are completely trampled underfoot, as if slapping the face, he actually listened to the eldest princess's recommendation of Fang Shi's advances, saying that he followed Zhou Gongdan as the martial king' Dai Bi Binggui's matter, found a person who is most suitable for Prince Jing in all aspects of his birthday and character as a stand-in, and then made a dojo to sacrifice this person, saying that he would serve the gods in place of Prince Jing, and begged the heavens to leave Prince Jing a life, just like that, and there was nothing to save it. Her lips pursed slightly, revealing a look of disdain.

I was shocked in my heart, thinking that this is absolutely impossible, especially the eldest princess, could it be - could it be that the eldest princess discovered Huang Chun and didn't want to shake people's hearts, so she found such a way to kill him alive to relieve her hatred?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but tremble a little, and my heart began to think about Huang Chun's birthday, that kind of torn pain in the bottom of my heart, more than the grief and suffering of Prince Jing, it turns out that I cherish Huang Chun so much, even if he plays everything in the palm of his hand, even if I am also a chess piece in his design. But I still believe in his heart and ideals, and I have no reason to intuition.

I don't know if my performance was too shocked, but the tea fairy actually got up and patted me on the shoulder, but still said in a calm tone, "You guessed? The eldest princess's will said that it was monitored and calculated by Qin Tian many times, and she invited a master from outside the party to help her calculate that it was Xing Qiuyan's mother who was Xiangguo Fu Shao's family, and she was martyred for this matter. ”

My heart sank again, and I said that this matter must be a little unpopular, but I am afraid that the real thing was that the eldest princess completely discovered Xing Qiuyan's identity as a spy, but she was thinking about Fu Shao's family, so she took advantage of this incident to martyr Xing Qiuyan so cruelly to beat Beiming to reprimand the spy, and also relieved the hatred, and at the same time, there is no need to impeach the Shao family because of the public disclosure of her identity as a spy, right?

This is the battlefield of the spy, and the stories of blood and tears, sacrifices and indescribable stories are as usual.

Even if the dream is so far, even if the dream is so close.

I think my face must have changed for a while.

And the experienced tea fairy, but she has always been pampered and not shocked, and she can't see her attitude. I think that only such a more stable person can become an external assassin and be sent to Luo Wei for many years.

Before sunset on the seventh day, I stood side by side with the tea fairy on the bow deck. I have already changed into a full set of white clothes and white hats, and because Chaxian will return directly with the ship, and because she still has the task of using Sakamoto and her emotions to play a major role in the war of Luo Wei on her shoulders, I don't know when to see each other.

The sunset is infinitely good, just near dusk.

The distant Hengxiao City crosses the crane frequently, the mountains are bright and the water is beautiful, the nine points of hibiscus, the fall is boundless, the mountains are meandering, the delicate and graceful, the peaks are picturesque, the good place is ethereal, between this smoke and haze, far away in the sky, the waves are sparkling.

At three o'clock tonight, I will hand over the mission at the three gates of Hengxiao City, which is known as the West Corner Gate of Beiming, and if it goes well, I can return to Qin Qing and the child at this time tomorrow.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a sense of sunset warmth in the desolation of white clothes and white hats.

In the distance, there are still fishing boats singing at night:

The most beautiful is the sunset,

Dusk, this beauty is like a fairy,

From the cloud-covered sky,

Slowly descending, the world through the ages.

Light and darkness are her beautiful plump lips,

Long black hair like a wash, like a waterfall,

Quiet, silent and peaceful.

There's a shining star,

It's paying homage to its beloved.

At dusk it spreads,

Like a weary vine with tender buds,

O descending from the heavenly vault to the earth,

Like a shadow,

There are no strings in the hand,

Soulful tunes, too, are hard to sing.

Calm Lingding Ocean, clear lotus ice,

O haughty river with a big heart,

The violent roar is like the excellent spirit of the sea.

Drink the elixir of this dusk,

Weary creatures of the earth,

Enter that sweet dream and enjoy the silence of the middle of the night.
