Chapter 389: The rain has passed and the flowers have fallen carmine
But Su Xun's body suddenly leaned over and happened to block her hand.
Su Xun seemed to be struggling to support at first, but gradually became a little weaker, most of his body was pressed on Wen Zhen's body, Wen Zhen was a practitioner after all, and he didn't feel struggling, but the height difference was a bit big, and it was really inconvenient to hold on, her hand pressed on Su Xun's waist, and touched the hidden pocket on his waist hard, and then Su Xun gave in slightly.
While walking, Su Xun's hand suddenly touched the back of her hand, wet and sticky, Wen Zhen "hissed", only to remember that when he saved Su Xun on the back of his hand before, he was injured by the knife wind before he had time to bandage, Su Xun seemed to be shocked by this touch, his fingers flicked, and he touched it again after a while, Wen Zhen supported him, unable to let it, only felt that this touch, the action was very light, very precious, with a bit of cautious attitude, she was actually touched a little itchy, couldn't help but smile, afraid that people would chase and dare not speak, so he stretched out his other hand, slapped Su Xun's hand away.
Su Xun was clapped and shrunk, stopped, Wen Zhen subconsciously stopped, a little stunned, did not react to the darkness in the passage at this moment, and Su Xun's breathing was slightly urgent, the atmosphere was vaguely ambiguous at this moment, for a while, the two faced each other, so close that the tip of the nose was about to touch, and the four sides were so quiet that the needle could be heard.
Wen Zhen just noticed that something was wrong, and when he leaned back, Su Xun suddenly reached out and grabbed her hand, and then "snorted", the sound of tearing sleeves, and then the soft cloth strip wrapped the wound on the back of Wen Zhen's hand, circle, circle, circle, and finally tied tightly, and the cloth head was safely collected into the palm of his hand.
And the powerful and warm fingers, and finally gently pressed in the palm of the hand, also like some kind of precious and complex mood expression.
Wen Zhen paused, and when he withdrew his hand, he laughed in a low voice: "Thank you, it's just a small injury." Then she said with concern: "You are also injured, right?" Is it an internal injury? I hear you have a hoarse voice, but it hurts your lungs? It's not a good thing to hurt your lungs at a young age, I have medicine here, you take one first. ”
She chattered, with the concerned gesture of elders and superiors, hearing Su Xun's eyes flickering, the eyes in the dark seemed to be bright, Wen Zhen looked up, and vaguely felt that there seemed to be a smile in that gaze, and I didn't know if she was laughing at her pretending to be old.
She took out a medicine from her sleeve and was about to stuff it into Su Xun's mouth, but Su Xun turned her head and reached out to take it, Wen Zhen smiled: "What? Don't dare to eat? Afraid I'll poison you? ”
Su Xun listened, lowered his head, and actually took the medicine from her hand with his mouth, Wen Zhen wanted to withdraw his hand too late, only to feel that suddenly his fingertips were gently wrapped in wet and soft warmth, it seemed that the tip of his tongue was still slightly picked up at his fingertips, but the feeling was really light as a flying feather, like an illusion, Wen Zhen immediately let go of his hand, fortunately, the other party didn't seem to intend to hold his fingers, as if it was really just a provocation after being angry, and retreated faster than her.
Wen Zhen's hand was behind her back, and she wiped it on her clothes, the soft and slightly wet touch seemed to be still there, and the air around her seemed to become more humid and heavy, and she heard that her breathing was also a little shorter, in this dark air, every time it seemed to be able to land hard, Su Xun's breathing became lighter, and the gossamer was generally swaying around, pulling and pulling, right on her side.
There was a faint wind blowing ahead, and we were about to reach the exit.
Wen Zhen was about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly Su Xun grabbed her and pressed her against the wall.
At the same time, Wen Zhen heard the wind in his clothes and the sound of slight footsteps, just across the wall.
Sure enough, there was a passage over there, and the other party chased after him, but for some reason, he didn't catch up on this side.
Wen Zhen was pressed against the wall, Su Xun's body pressed against her, the two were very close, this time it was really the tip of the nose against the tip of the nose, Wen Zhen clearly smelled the breath on the man's body, very light, very clean, very smelly, even if he rolled through the dirt in the tunnel, he still couldn't hide the person, as if he was born with a faint fragrance, the aroma was related to the clouds, related to the light rain, and the breeze with the fragrance of late autumn laurel that passed silently behind the clouds, and the deep pool full of falling flowers reflecting the cold moon that no one had passed by for thousands of years.
And the other party's gaze is also like two deep pools, clear and deep, cool and soft, that black and white world, Wen Zhen clearly saw his own reflection.
And he didn't blink, as if he wanted to melt her three inches of light at this moment into the deep pool of floating flowers that belonged to him.
She couldn't help but think vaguely, the vinegar king is going to be angry, the vinegar king hasn't smacked me yet!
When she thought about it, she subconsciously raised her arms and artificially separated the distance between the two.
I don't think this place is close to the exit, there is a mechanism nearby, and I don't know what it touched when my arm was raised, and there was a rolling sound, which sounded very clear in the silence.
Before Wen Zhen could react, Su Xun suddenly pulled her again, Wen Zhen was pulled into his arms suddenly, Su Xun took her around in a circle and pasted it on the other wall, and at the same time Wen Zhen felt that the other party was tightening his abdomen, and the muscles behind him were suddenly like iron. She subconsciously also tightened her abdomen, and then reacted that she couldn't accept it.
The palms of the people behind her seemed to want to cover her abdomen, Wen Zhen immediately supported her arms, and the slender palms also stopped in time and withdrew.
At that moment, she saw a bright light stabbing silently from the opposite wall.
It was a long sword, and if she had been there on that wall, she would have been pierced through it by now.
But this is not over, and then another long sword pierced through the opposite wall, this time in the direction of the two of them, the secret passage is narrow, the sword is long, Wen Zhen instantly understood the intention of the person behind him to close his abdomen, because the second sword was about to poke her stomach, and when it stopped, it was only an inch away from her abdomen.
Wen Zhen stared down at the glimmer of light, and spat silently at the tip of the sword before it was withdrawn.
It's not spitting.
A small fragment burst out from between her teeth, and it melted when it landed on the tip of the sword.
A gentleman's revenge is immediately desirable.
The person behind her seemed to be laughing, her chest and abdomen were shaking slightly, so much so that she felt the muscles of the person behind her again, which seemed to be hard and soft, very elastic and powerful.
It gave her a strange feeling.
The killer on the other side seemed to find this assassination method safe and insidious, so he didn't come and stabbed all the way through the wall.
The person behind him was still tightly tightening his abdomen, Wen Zhen sneered, then broke free from him, and moved all the way against the wall.
Since two people stacked together are likely to touch the tip of the sword, isn't it just separated?
Is it smart and confused for a while, or is it ......
There's nothing to worry about now, the other party can't come, and stab the wall with a stupid way, the thickness has been confirmed, and she can't be stabbed.
As she broke free, her fingers paused slightly on the other's arm.
If Qi Yunshen was here, she could see that her gesture was the use of her one-move fist technique, and then, she could point the opponent's numb tendon with one finger, and the other four fingers to pick the opponent out, towards the wall, or ...... The tip of the sword.
However, the finger curled slightly on the arm, but finally let go.
In the darkness, I don't know whose eyes flickered slightly.
Wen Zhen turned around, stretched out his hand to grope on the wall, and soon felt the switch to open the door, this switch was really loud enough, and the sound of clanging was endless, echoing in the passage, very noisy, and the sword piercing through the wall was even more happy.
Suddenly, there was a familiar click, accompanied by the sound of the machine spring turning, Wen Zhen fell to the ground, swished a few times to break the air, and disappeared through the narrow passage.
This round passed, and after waiting again, Wen Zhen got up, and the exit was an upward hole.
Behind him, Su Xun followed and said in a dumb voice: "My lord, I'll go up first." ”
Wen Zhen turned around, looked at him, and said, "Can you speak?" ”
Su Xun let out a "hmm".
Wen Zhen didn't say anything more, let go of his body, Su Xun climbed up with his hands and feet, and after a while, he sent out a signal of safety.
Wen Zhen also climbed up, but it turned out to be an abandoned deep well, the wellhead was full of moss, the well platform was full of rainwater and fallen leaves, and the surrounding bamboo forest was dense, and the rough style of buildings could be vaguely seen through the bamboo forest.
Looking at the architectural style, it should still be in the Blue Villa.
When she was about to reach the wellhead, Su Xun reached out to pick her up, Wen Zhen smiled, and climbed up by holding on to the wellhead, Su Xun lowered his eyes and retreated, without saying a word.
After Wen Zhen went up, he didn't leave, sat on the platform of the well, and looked at the bottom of the well.
Su Xun stood behind her and said in surprise: "My lord, what are you looking at?" ”
Wen Zhen turned his head to look at him and said, "How did you know that there would be a sword piercing through the wall?" ”
As she asked, she wrenched her other hand on the edge of the wall of the well, and with a bang, the other half of the well suddenly collapsed, and a large stone fell, blocking the entire abandoned well.
If there are still people climbing up from the bottom of the well at this time, they will definitely be smashed into flesh.
However, it didn't.
In the rumbling sound, Su Xun was very surprised and said, "What sword pierces through the wall?" ”
Wen Zhen stared at him.
Su Xun's eyes were black and white, and there was no concealment or retreat in the eyebrows and eyes of the cool Xiao Yansui, he frowned slightly, and said: "I seem to have fainted in the underground secret room for a while, and after waking up, I vaguely heard footsteps, so I followed the footsteps and chased over, and when I chased after it, you were groping for the mechanism." Then the door opened. ”
"You didn't meet anyone?"
"No...... However, when I got behind the adults, I seemed to see a vague shadow flashing by, but then the door opened, and I looked back at the secret passage, but there was no one in sight. ”
He suddenly reacted and exclaimed, "My lord, is there anyone else in the secret passage?" And why don't you notice others? Don't...... Could it be that the other party is impersonating me? ”
Wen Zhen nodded, turned his head to look at the bottom, the big stone was stuck in the center of the well, and through the gap at the edge, you could see the black hole underneath.
She was silent for a while, and then said to the bottom: "Mr. Tang, you say, why do you bother? ”
There was no movement underneath.
"I don't know what you plan to arrange in Huzhou, but if you want to come to Huzhou for me, it will definitely hinder your way. Of course, if you are troublesome in Huzhou, you will also block my way. Either I remove you as a stumbling block, or you remove me as an obstacle to the road. Since you and I are irreconcilable, why should we miss that little bit of empty love in the past? ”
The sound of the wind pouring through the cracks in the stones into the dark ruined well sounded like a helpless sigh of a man.
"Huzhou's money, grain, and food used to be yours, right? Even the local silk and hemp are not produced, but the silk and hemp are harvested every year, and those silk and hemp that need to be purchased at a high price, as far as I know, Dingyang is abundant. Huzhou has a heavy grain endowment, and the people are no longer able to take care of the silkworms, but Huzhou does not cancel the silk quota, and even sets it high, forcing the people to take out all their savings to buy Dingyang's high-priced silk and linen to pay taxes. Tang Xianzhi, the Tang family is rich in three states, but they are still parasitic on Huzhou, maggots on tarsal bones, constantly sucking blood, what are the innocent people of Huzhou, getting up early and greedy for darkness, farming every day, in addition to feeding Huzhou and feeding the imperial court, but also feeding you Tang family Sanzhou? ”
Su Xun stood behind her, listening, his eyes trembling slightly.
Wen Zhen's tone was calm, but his eyes were cold. She thinks about more important things.
After finding out that the silk and hemp trade involved Dingyang, she found out that Huzhou's taxation still had this layer of greasy.
Obviously, there is no local production, but it is not canceled, what is needed is to fatten the whole territory to raise silkworms, and Dingyang of the weaving industry.
Dingyang's silk, linen, cotton, and silk cloth are several times the profit when they arrive in Huzhou.
Obviously, Huzhou is not unable to raise silkworms.
Extrapolated backwards from silk and hemp, if the money and grain were really overcharged for so many years, the excess would naturally go to the Tang family's three states.
The Tang family has been sucking the blood of Huzhou for so many years!
Now the military obviously also has the power of the Tang family, if Huzhou is really in the hands of the Tang family before the military and political affairs, then once the Tang family sends troops, Huzhou, the first barrier that I thought would become the first pass, and at that time, the entire Central Plains will be open in front of the Tang family!
Thanks to Li Xiang's whim, sending her here is equivalent to the court suddenly kicking a stone in front of the Tang family's great cause, how can the Tang family kick her away without any means?
However, the Tang family also doesn't have to deal with her. If the Tang family infiltrated too deeply, she failed to turn the tide in time, and the Tang family was still able to drive straight from the governor of Huzhou, then she would be the first to die!
It is difficult in Huzhou, the difficulty is not to find out the truth about low taxes, how taxes have been collected in the past so many years, there are many people, and anyone can find out in the end.
The hard thing is whether you have the life to live to find out.
And whether there is a life to live.
Wen Zhen had a fire in his heart, and said to the bottom of the well: "Mr. Tang, you should know that it is not difficult for me to get evidence that the Tang family sucked blood from Huzhou. It is not difficult to win the trust of the imperial court. In the final analysis, your Tang family is not afraid of being known by the imperial court, because you know that whether it is the imperial court or me, it is impossible for your Tang family to spit out the past taxes, but they are tacitly stepping up. But from now on, the Tang family still wants to suck blood from Huzhou, which is absolutely impossible. Please tell the Tang family, I will not pursue the previous matter, and the Tang family will also be asked to stop in time in Huzhou after that. Please leave Huzhou immediately, otherwise, I will definitely let all of you understand what cleaning is. ”
After she finished speaking, she stood up, prepared to leave, took two steps, and said softly: "Speaking of which, you did save my life again, but I also gave up throwing you to the tip of the sword...... Again, I won't say thank you. Next time hopefully, don't see you again. ”
gave up throwing Tang Xianzhi on the tip of the sword because she was not sure of success, but this did not affect her to use it now to offset her favor.
Maybe it's a bit despicable, but Tang Xianzhi's affection can't be owed a cent.
In the end, she tore off a piece of her shirt, hurriedly wrote a few words with the rouge she had with her, and threw it down the well.
The bamboo forest is swollen by the wind, and the bamboo leaves after the rain are accompanied by the falling red broken English floating mottled well platform. The ground was wet, and the moss-stained footprints were gone.
Abandoned wells.
He stood in the darkness behind the basement, leaning his back against the cold wall, and let out a long breath.
She is good at seeing the subtleties and knowing, and she can't hide the affairs of Huzhou, and she can't hide the authentic things from her.
I didn't want to see each other, but after seeing her few notes, I was suddenly washed away by the outright lovesickness and broke the embankment of reason. couldn't help but wait under this secret room, taking advantage of Su Xun's fall to knock him unconscious, Li Dai Taozhuang, I thought that I would be able to walk this underground secret passage together, but it turned out that she was so stingy that even this beautiful dream that was soaked in darkness had to be punctured.
Heaven has given him all the noble things, only love is so humble that he can't calmly offer his heart under the sun, and even see each other can only be in the dark underground, with the help of other people's identities, relying on blinding and deception, in order to ask for a companionship.
Thinking about what she said as she was leaving, he smiled faintly.
She said she didn't want to see her again......
She is not a person who speaks cruelly, she can do what she says, he has never underestimated her, so he heard that the imperial court intends to send her to Huzhou to serve as an assassin, and he once planned to sabotage this appointment. However, those old guys in the family didn't take her seriously, and they all felt that if the court had to change the history of assassination, a woman would be easier to deal with after all.
This is also the reason why the Tang family did not go all out to stop her from doing this assassination.
He originally thought that this time it was different from the usual change of generals, the imperial court was already suspicious, in the past twenty years, the Tang family had sucked enough blood from Huzhou, and since it was discovered, it was okay to stop.
Those old guys still refuse to give up, and always feel that they can work as hard as before, first give the new assassin some dismounting, and then pull the new assassin's own ship. But since Wen Zhen took office, a series of incidents have been resolved without any fireworks, and there is no anxiety as the family imagined, and the ability and deterrence she has shown have made Huzhou officialdom secretly afraid, and many officials who originally cooperated happily with the Tang family have begun to gradually sever their relationship with the Tang family.
The heavy gifts that the family originally wanted to win over Wen Zhen had been prepared, and he was still the only one who objected to sending it, but if they knew what Wen Zhen was doing, even if he didn't object, no one would dare to send it - a few days after Wen Zhen took office in history, the officialdom did not vigorously rectify and made a group of people become plague chickens, and then before everyone could react, she had already set her sights on military power.
The old things in the family didn't realize until this moment that this female assassin was by no means comparable to those mediocre officials in the past, and if they wanted to continue to play that set, they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to do it, and they wanted to break her.
So they are brewing a huge storm to behead Wen Zhen before she gets the military power.
But if Wen Zhen can get military power today......
Tang Xianzhi straightened up slightly and sighed.
The foundation of the Tang family is too huge, and the tail is too big to fall, many things he and his father can't decide in a word, and many opportunities are lost in such internal friction and chaotic voices.
Or, the Tang family has developed into what it is today, and it also has a contribution from Yan Sui.
He stared ahead, there was a faint darkness in front of him, she would get the military power today, and the storm that the Tang family had secretly arranged was in an instant, and he could almost foresee how the storm would eventually come back to him.
Need to remind those old guys......
No.
The lions are old, and they have to entrench themselves in the mountains and forests and roar fiercely, which is annoying, and it is time to learn a lesson.
He walked slowly to the bottom of the well, and saw a strip of pale yellow cloth underground, and a little light from the sky above, and the rouge handwriting was faintly visible: "Give me back the curly grass." ”
He stared at the strip of cloth for a long time, brought it to his nose, and sniffed it gently.
Faint sweet fragrance, rich and mellow, honey-like sweet, that touch of carmine smudged under the eyes, as if that touch of red lips swaying in front of the eyes, soft, full, pomegranate flowers bloom like delicate, trembling in the wind, a glance at the sweetness and joy seems to penetrate into the bottom of the heart.
His lips touched the blush lightly.
It's like a kiss that separates time and temperature.
The pomegranate blossoms bloom and wither in an instant, the four seasons turn and turn over in an instant, the quicksand in the hourglass is full and poured, and the final sound of those who once met is gone.
Looking through the stone, the sky above Inoue was still gloomy, and the gray-black fish-scale clouds were surging and piling up from the sky, and the wind and rain were coming.
And the sky is also silently gazing at the people at the bottom of the well, looking at the white as snow in the darkness, looking at the flickering eyes of clarity and pain in the cracks, until the snow-colored eyes gradually disappear into eternal chaos and darkness.
