Chapter 92: Choosing Each Other
Luo Teng found that Song Wenyu had an extra follower by his side, with a delicate face, but he was not smiling, and he looked like a ruthless character. I asked curiously about the origin, and I learned that this was also one of the guards in the Song Mansion who grew up with the young masters and girls, named Huaiwen. During the few days that Huairen was recuperating in the mansion, he was responsible for protecting Song Wenyu's safety.
After Song Wenyu introduced Huaiwen to Luo Teng, this topic was ignored so lightly, and the attention of the two was naturally focused on the current thorny case.
"Brother Wen Yu thinks what should we do next?"
Luo Teng's question reminded Song Wenyu of the conversation he had with Ah Jin a few days ago. He subconsciously glanced at Huaiwen, only to see him standing aside with his sword in his hand, looking at his nose and nose, and he didn't notice the movement here at all.
"The meaning of the saint is not only to let us catch the murderer quickly, but also to protect them. I think...... After that, the royal capital not only had to impose a curfew, but also strengthened patrols in the inner city. ”
"Intensified patrols?" Luo Teng lowered his head and thought for a while, "It's not impossible, but the current Praetorian Guard is led by King Qing, just the two of us came to visit, and said that he would do this, I'm afraid it won't be enough." ”
"I've already prepared the excerpt, but I don't know if I should hand it over, if you think this method is feasible, you will take the excerpt to me tomorrow morning."
Listening to Song Wenyu's words, Luo Teng stood up and paced back and forth in this square room. Song Wenyu was not in a hurry to ask him for an answer, and his eyes followed Luo Teng, who was walking back and forth in the room.
"Okay, then do it." Luo Teng made up his mind, and in front of Song Wenyu, there was a bit of tragedy in the face of death.
"Then you rest early today, and tomorrow you enter the palace with me to face the saint," Song Wenyu said, standing up to leave.
"Brother Wen Yu, please stay," Luo Teng said suddenly, Song Wenyu turned his head and looked at him puzzled, "I want Brother Wen Yu to accompany me to a place." ”
Song Wenyu was stunned, "What place?" ”
"Vermilion Bird Lane, Yuehua Building."
When he said this answer, not only Song Wenyu, but even Huaiwen, who was standing on the side, showed a somewhat surprised expression in his eyes.
"Okay, I'll accompany you on a trip," Song Wenyu felt that he vaguely knew what Luo Teng was going to do, but he didn't ask in detail.
The two got into the carriage and rushed to the door of Yuehua Tower, the attic in Suzaku Lane happened to open the door to do business, so it was not lively. Song Wenyu and Luo Teng walked side by side, attracting the attention of many guests along the way.
"Isn't that Song Dalang-kun? Ever since the Hedong lion from his family came to make trouble, he has never been seen again. Why did it reappear today? One guest whispered.
"He's very polite, and Na Luo Da Lang Jun is a frequent visitor. Sacrifice your life to accompany a gentleman, haven't you heard this sentence? Another guest replied.
"Oh, yes, yes. If it was to see the style of the girl in purple, I would believe it. Hey, it would be nice if I had such a confidant and friend, and if I wanted to see the girl in purple, I would come over together. ”
When the good deeds had finished talking, they dispersed. Song Wenyu and Luo Teng didn't care about these gossips, and went straight into Liuli's room. When she pushed the door open, Ruri was sitting by the window fiddling with the gonghou.
Luo Teng stood by the door with great interest and admired it for a while, and then interrupted her performance, "You are really in good interest today, I only see you playing the piano on weekdays, but I have never seen you play the gonghou." ”
Hearing this, Liuli quickly stood up and walked around the screen to the two. She first glanced at Luo Teng, and then fell on Song Wenyu. Because Huaiwen was standing behind Song Wenyu, she saw this handsome little student who was as cold as frost with a sweep of her eyes.
Liuli smiled and said: "It's difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, no one gave me Konghou before, so I naturally can't play it." ”
Song Wenyu listened to Liuli's words, subconsciously glanced at Luo Teng, and saw that there was something wrong with his face, and knew that it must not have been sent by him. He smiled, didn't get involved in the affairs of the two, and said, "Today, we have a good day, the girl in purple doesn't mind playing a few more songs." ”
"Naturally, I don't mind." Liuli smiled at Song Wenyu, ten thousand styles. Suddenly, she changed her words, and she forced Huaiwen, who was standing behind them, into the silent one, "Who is this handsome little Langjun?" Lord Song's follower doesn't seem to be him. ”
"Oh, my former attendant is still recuperating in the house. He'll be with me for a few days. As soon as Song Wenyu's words fell, he saw that Liuli had already walked to Huaiwen's side and looked up and down. That excited appearance made Luo Teng frown.
"It's really interesting, the concubine has never seen a guard so young. How old are you today? Ruri asked.
Huaiwen raised his head and glanced at Liuli, with some alienation and coldness in his eyes, "Back to this girl, the little one is eighteen years old this year." ”
"Oh, eighteen. The concubine has a younger sister, who happens to be eighteen years old this year. Liuli winked at Huaiwen and said.
"The sister of the girl in purple must be as beautiful as a fairy, and the small one dare not compare." Huaiwen calmly responded.
Liuli covered her mouth and laughed for a while before she said to Song Wenyu: "Your follower is interesting, much more interesting than the previous one." This little mouth is strange enough to make people happy. ”
Song Wenyu had a look of embarrassment on his face, turned his head and glanced at Huaiwen helplessly, and then said, "It was Song who taught him in no way and made the girl in purple smile." ”
After that, he turned back to Huaiwen and said, "You go outside and guard." ”
"Yes." After Huaiwen got the order, he immediately went out without stopping long. As soon as he stood still outside the door, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: this Liuli clearly recognized her as a woman disguised as a man and deliberately made things difficult for her.
But when I thought about it, I felt that something was wrong. Senior sister was messing around a little before, but she would never do this kind of thing that might expose her identity to her classmates. Don't...... Is she using herself for something else?
Let's say, stimulate Lotten.
Thinking of this, Huaiwen suddenly brightened, and at the same time he couldn't cry or laugh.
In the room, the atmosphere did not ease a little because of Huaiwen's departure. Song Wenyu was originally pulled over by Luo Teng to accompany him, but when he saw that the situation was not right, he wanted to leave first. To his surprise, Lotten didn't stop him this time. However, Ziyi seemed to be a little sorry for his departure.
During the banquet, it was revealed that he wanted to personally send Song Wenyu out of the door, and when Song Wenyu saw this, he waved his hand again and again, and fled with Huaiwen.
Along the way, Huaiwen looked at Song Wenyu puzzled and said, "Didn't you say that you wanted to talk to Lord Luo about things?" Why didn't you talk about it, you ran away first? ”
"He had asked me to accompany him, just to give him courage. Who knew that I would bring such a scourge to you, and it would be a mess. Song Wenyu said, clicked the tip of Huaiwen's nose, looked him up and down for a while, and said, "Can you make yourself ugly next time?" If a man looks like this, it's no wonder that Oiran will look at you with a wink. ”
Huaiwen glanced at him, saying that he knew, but in his heart he was secretly slandering: Liuli was so flirtatious with herself, it was clear that she was Ah Jin, and it had nothing to do with what she looked like.
Song Wenyu was a little dissatisfied with her admitting her mistake, and gently tapped her head and said, "I am not humble at all. ”
Ah Jin covered his head and looked at Song Wenyu with great grievance.
……
Yuehua Building, in the room of the purple clothes.
Since Song Wenyu left, the atmosphere is still dull. Liuli poured a glass of wine to Luo Teng unhurriedly and said, "You came to me today, do you have anything to explain?" ”
Luo Teng looked at the purple clothes, a little incredulous, and a little relieved. "How do you see that I have something to explain."
"You've been here a lot these days, but every time you've come alone. When you come today, you just want to pull Song Wenyu, who has a family and a room. I used to have a little sister who would do the same thing before she decided to do something she never dared to do. Pull a close friend of her to join her in courage. ”
"You compare me to a woman?" Luo Teng asked quietly, just listening to the tone, it seemed to be a little angry, but Liuli didn't care.
Her slender fingers intertwined, and gently rested her beautiful chin on it, "Lord Luo, don't be angry, the slave family is just an analogy, if Lord Luo doesn't mind, can you play a guessing game with the slave family, if the slave family guesses wrong, the slave family will punish himself with three cups." But if the slave family guesses correctly, Lord Luo will punish himself with three cups, how about it? ”
"How do you want to play." Luo Teng looked at this beautiful woman, and only felt that this woman was releasing a signal of danger no matter the tone of her speech or her every move.
Reason told him that he couldn't accede to any of her offers. But each time, he couldn't help but want to see what tricks she was playing.
In this kind of game, who is the winner and who is the loser?
In the end, who lost his heart first, and who won the first opportunity, he was already confused.
"Let's start with the parable I just said." Liuli lowered her eyes, poured three glasses of wine on the table, and then raised her eyes to look at Luo Teng.
Luo Teng stared at him for a moment, and suddenly raised his hand to drink the three glasses of wine. Liuli clapped her hands and said with a smile: "Lord Luo is really refreshing!" Then, according to the rules of the game, it is the turn of Lord Luo to say a guess related to the slave family. ”
"You're from the Tsutenkaku." Luo Teng raised his head, and his words were not shocking.
Liuli's smile froze for a moment, she lowered her head, slowly poured three glasses of wine, and silently picked up the glass and drank it. Luo Teng's heart ached, looked at Liuli and said, "Why?" ”
"Lord Luo, now it's Ziyi's turn to ask questions," Liuli wiped the wine from her lips with the back of her hand, "Lord Luo actually wants to say goodbye to the slave family this time, because you are going to do a dangerous thing, and you don't know if you can come back." ”
Luo Teng was stunned, looking at the wine glass that was already full, but there was no movement. Seeing this, Liuli asked softly, "What?" The slave guessed wrong? ”
"No, you're not mistaken," Rotten said, bowing his head, "I'm just curious, what else do you know." Are you guessing these things, or do you know them early on? ”
Ruri smiled and supported her chin with one hand, "Want to know?" Let's guess after drinking these wines. ”
Hearing this, Luo Teng smiled slightly, and really drank three more glasses of wine.
"Yuehua Tower is from Tongtian Pavilion."
"No," Ruri said, pointing to the wine glass, "My lord, you have three more glasses." If you don't drink it, do you think Ziyi is telling a lie? ”
Luo Teng lowered his eyes, picked up the wine glass and poured himself three glasses of wine, and suddenly said, "Ziyi, it's not your real name." Who are you? ”
When Liuli heard this, she smiled and said, "Lord Luo, you are drunk." I've forgotten the rules we set at the beginning, and now it's Ziyi's turn to guess. I guess the thing you're going to do has something to do with the current crown prince. ”
"Did you guess it, or did you get it early in the morning? If it's the latter, I won't be willing to gamble and lose, you're cheating. Luo Teng didn't know why his alcohol consumption was so bad today, but after a few glasses of water and wine, his head began to feel a little dizzy.
"I did cheat, but not on it," Ruten whispered, and Luo Teng's eyes were fixed on the wine glass that swirled back and forth between his fingers, and suddenly he fell on the dining table.
Liuli sighed, looked at him and said, "Actually, I really want to tell you my name...... You have to remember, my real name. ”
Glass.
……
When Lorten woke up the next day, he found himself sleeping in an inn. He also recognized the shopkeeper of this inn, it was Liang Chujian.
"How am I ...... Over here. ”
Luo Teng only felt a headache, he struggled to get up, covered his forehead and asked.
Hatsumi looked at him with a smile and said, "Have you forgotten Lord Luo?" You came with the girl in purple last night, and then you got drunk, and the girl in purple was inconvenient to accompany you, so she entrusted you to your subordinates. The girl in purple has already paid for you for this night's room. ”
Luo Teng twisted his eyebrows and listened carefully to what he had said. I always feel that something is wrong, and I can't say what is wrong," she ...... last night Went back alone? ”
"How can it, I specially sent a nursing home to accompany the girl in purple back to Yuehua Building, Lord Luo, don't worry."
"What time is it?" As soon as Luo Teng looked up, he saw that the sun was just right outside the window, and he suddenly sobered up a little.
"Now? It's almost noon. As soon as he finished speaking, Lotten stumbled out of bed and rushed out of the door without looking back. Chu Jian stood in the room, looking at Luo Teng's distant figure, and suddenly turned his head to look at the inner room and said, "Senior sister, he's gone." ”
The woman hidden in the inner room stepped out with light steps, pulled down the hood from her cloak, and looked blankly in the direction where Lotten had left. Seeing this for the first time, she talked lightly and said, "Why doesn't Senior Sister say goodbye to Lord Luo?" ”
"He's already guessed that I'm from Tsutenkaku. If you stay, there will be endless troubles. Liuli said softly, "I used the soul snatching technique to erase his memories of that night last night, so you don't have to worry about it." But I couldn't stay any longer, and if he had seen me from time to time, he would have remembered that night's conversation. What's more, the pavilion master has already figured out the bottom of Yuehua Tower, and there is no need for me to stay. ”
"In this way, I wish the senior sister a smooth journey. Return to the Unruly Mountain and say hello to the Pavilion Master and the Hall Master for me. ”
"That's nature." Speaking of this, Liuli suddenly thought of something, "I saw Ah Jin disguised as a man and followed Song Wenyu yesterday, that is to say, does Song Wenyu know Ah Jin's identity?" ”
Hatsumi nodded.
Liuli sighed, with some envy and worry in her tone: "Senior Sister Ah Jin has always been the most resolute one among us, and I hope she gets what she wants." ”
After saying that, she and Hatsumi saluted each other, turned around and left the Yunlai Inn.
……
When Luo Teng arrived outside the palace, the officials had already gone down to court. Luo Teng looked for the figure of Song Wenyu's servants in the carriages that drove out of the palace gate one after another. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he quickly ran to the front of the Song family's carriage.
Song Wenyu opened the curtain and glanced at him, and motioned for him to get in the car.
"What's the smell of wine? You came directly from Yuehua Tower? Song Wenyu asked.
Luo Teng didn't think about the strangeness in this question, but said, "You presented the excerpt today?" ”
"Well, it's on." Song Wenyu nodded, very calmly.
Luo Teng looked at him with some anger, "I said I wanted to be together, why did you end up fighting alone?" ”
"It's not like that, you didn't come, but you signed it with me," Song Wenyu said this, and after a pause, he said: "Time is not waiting, today the saint suddenly appeared in the court." If I lose this opportunity, I don't know how long I will have to wait until the saint hangs the curtain. ”
After hearing this, Luo Teng was silent for a while. Admittedly, the current political situation is not optimistic. Since Xiao Zhan disappeared, there has been a one-sided situation in the court. After all, the princes who once had the ability to compete for the throne are gone, and if they don't unite with the prince at this time, who else can they cling to.
"Are these people dead as saints?" When Luo Teng said this, his tone was extremely cold. It is no wonder that there are few families like the Luo family who hold military power and are only loyal to saints.
He was able to talk to Luo Teng because the Song family was also neutral.
"Isn't it just considered dead? The saint was hit by the bad news of King Run, and lingered on the sickbed for several months, and I heard that if it weren't for the fact that there were nobles and nobles by his side who were carefully serving, no matter how big or small, and everything was prepared, it is estimated that with the saint's body at that time, he would not be able to survive until now. Some people are used to supervising the country and going to court. But I forgot that the saint has not yet had a Zen position, you haven't seen it, and the faces of the civil and military officials above the court today are not very good-looking. ”
"Then you've really picked a good time. At this time, the saint will not refuse to allow you to read that excerpt. The crown prince and the queen didn't dare to have any other ideas, what the emperor meant, they could only mean on their faces. ”
"That's right." Song Wenyu nodded, looked at Luo Teng with a smile in his eyes and said, "Did you stay in Yuehua Tower last night?" ”
Luo Teng was stunned for a moment, not knowing how this topic turned to himself. He wanted to deny it, but when he saw that he was full of wine and had not changed his clothes all night, a trace of shame crossed his cheeks.
Song Wenyu smiled, waved his hand at him and said, "It's easy to say, I don't ask anything, I don't ask anything." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Teng's face turned even redder.
That night, while taking a bath, Lotten suddenly noticed a strange mark on his chest. It looks like a totem tattoo that you can't wipe off. Just when Luo Teng was puzzled, the tattoo suddenly disappeared again.
Luo Teng rubbed his eyes, looked at himself in the mirror, his chest was smooth, and there was no pattern, but he was dazzled and did not go to his heart.
At the same time, Ah Jin also received the news that Liuli had left the royal capital. She folded the letter carefully, and the expression on her face was a little solemn. Seeing this, Ah Zhen carefully comforted: "Don't be too sad, girl, if you have a fate in the future, you will definitely be able to meet again." ”
Ah Jin looked up at Ah Zhen and said with a smile: "I'm not sad about Senior Sister leaving the royal capital, I'm worried about something else." ”
Ah Zhen looked at Ah Jin suspiciously, waiting for her to tell her what was on her mind. Ah Jin turned his head and placed the letterhead in the candle flame, watching it turn to ashes little by little.
"The first time I saw it, when he saw Senior Sister today, he found that the Heavenly Eye between Senior Sister's eyebrows was gone."
Ah Zhen's face turned pale, and she almost cried out, "Ah, that's not ......"
Ah Jin looked at the firelight and frowned slightly, "Senior Sister gave the Afterlife Gu to someone else...... In the future, she no longer has the capital to die with others and live after death. ”
What Ah Jin said in the room was listened to word by word by Ah Jiu, who was outside the house. She was so angry that a grief almost tore her apart.
Why? Why did one or two of the people she respected the most become like this? So vulnerable, so fraught with gains and losses, so full of weaknesses.
Ah Jiu hated this royal capital that could change a person so completely, and she felt that she couldn't stay any longer.
Suddenly, she thought of someone. The man in black that he accidentally ran into on the outskirts of the royal capital. After some struggle, Ah Jiu silently turned his head, knelt down and kowtowed a few times towards the room, then stood up and disappeared into the night.
The master and servant who were sitting in the house heard the movement outside the house, and quickly opened the door to look, but saw that there was no one outside the door. Ah Zhen closed the door a little strangely, returned to Ah Jin and replied, "Girl, there is no one outside the house." ”
"Oh, I guess I misheard." Ah Jin replied lightly. But how could she hear it wrong, it was clearly Ah Jiu who was hesitating outside the house just now.
But in the blink of an eye, where did the girl go?
Thinking of Ah Jiu's increasingly grotesque behavior before, Ah Jin closed his eyes and exhaled.
At this point, even she had to admit that the two of them were still drifting apart after all, and the sisters were separated.
"Ah Zhen, I'm sleepy." Ah Jin stood up and walked to the dresser. As he sat down, he wiped away the tear that fell out of his eye without a trace.
Ah Zhen is simple, she doesn't want her to see her strangeness, and she doesn't want to face her questioning. In the final analysis, she still didn't want Ah Zhen to blame Ah Jiu for anything.
"Yes." Ah Jin obediently removed her makeup and hair for Ah Jin, Ah Jin sat there quietly, through the bronze mirror, she seemed to see Ah Jiu waiting for her, and when she felt her gaze, she raised her head and smiled at her.
Ah Jin lowered his head, a little confused.
She doesn't know whether her choice is right or wrong.
