37. Encounter the masked man
Ling Wushuang was eating happily, and suddenly felt as if someone was looking at him, raised his head and looked at it, and found that it was the Mingyue County Lord. Ling Wushuang raised his glass and gestured to her. Ling Wushuang knew that he signaled to Li Mingyue, although it didn't mean anything, but it was estimated that in Li Mingyue's eyes, he was provoking her, and he was afraid that he would be angry, but so what, it wouldn't stop me.
"I'm so angry, mother, you see, that slut dares to provoke me."
"Mingyue, you bear with it first, then Ling Ye came back from winning the battle and made a great contribution, now is not suitable to find trouble with Ling Wushuang, wait, and when the time is ripe, you will kill her in one fell swoop."
"Bear with me, you let me endure it all day long." As he spoke, he dropped his glass.
"Lord Mingyue, what's wrong? Feeling unwell? Why did you drop the cup? The sound of Li Mingyue smashing the cup was so eye-catching that the emperors on the high platform noticed it.
"Back to the emperor, Mingyue accidentally knocked over the cup, disturbed the emperor, and asked the emperor for forgiveness." Seeing that Mrs. Li had attracted the emperor's attention, she immediately stood up and replied, but Li Mingyue probably didn't expect the emperor to ask, so she was so frightened that she couldn't say a word.
"That being the case, be careful, in the public, you still have to pay attention to the influence, Li Shangshu, although the woman is soft and beautiful, but it can't be said that the weak can't even hold a cup steadily, after the county lord of Mingyue returns home, he will have a good life to exercise, there can be no next time."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Li Shangshu, who was named inexplicably, suddenly felt a little regretful, whether he was usually too used to his daughter, he sat close, whether his daughter unintentionally dropped the cup He was very clear in his heart, and he lost his temper and threw things on such an occasion, it seems that he really has to preach to his daughter when he goes back.
A small episode soon passed, and the feast resumed its euphoria.
Looking at the singing and dancing in the hall, I felt novel at first, but then I felt a little bored, plus the Ling family father and son were toasted by various people, and the water around them was impassable, even if they wanted to talk to their father and brother, they couldn't squeeze in, so they could only eat.
"Qingluo, I'm a little overwhelmed, you can go out with me!" It's really boring in this hall, so it's better to go out and take a walk.
"Miss, this is not good!" Qingluo looked at the people around her, either sitting on the seat, or talking at various toasts, no matter what, they all stayed at the table and did not leave the hall.
"What's wrong, let's leave quietly, just go out to breathe and come back quietly, no one will know."
Looking at Qingluo who was still a little hesitant, Ling Wushuang continued: "Oh, let's go, if you don't leave, I'll go alone!" ”
"Miss, then we'll go out and breathe, and we'll be back in a while."
"Uh-huh." Finally persuaded Qingluo, Ling Wushuang stood up quietly, bent his waist, and quickly left the main hall.
"Whew, it's finally out, suffocate me." As soon as he left the main hall, Ling Wushuang opened his arms and took a deep breath.
"Miss, pay attention, this is in the palace, you can't be too festive, lest you be seen and talk about it again." As he spoke, he looked around and was relieved to see that there was no one.
"Anla, I'm just too suffocated, I'll pay attention, you see, this doesn't look like a lady?" He straightened up and straightened his collar.
"Poof, miss, I don't know why, I want to laugh when I see your rare seriousness."
"Okay, you, dare you laugh at me, do you want to be beaten, ah." As he spoke, he went to tickle Qingluo's itch, making her hide.
"Miss, hahaha, spare Qingluo, I don't laugh, hahaha, Miss, hahaha.."
"Hmph, Miss Ben is merciful and has let you go." Hearing Qing Luo's voice begging for mercy, Ling Wushuang stopped.
"Let's go, let's go to the pavilion in front and have a look." Ling Wushuang raised his feet and walked forward, Qingluo following closely behind.
"Oh, my mother, well, fell to my death." was walking well, when he suddenly stepped on the air, Ling Wushuang's whole person disappeared in an instant.
"Miss, miss, how are you?" Qingluo lay on the ground, looking at Ling Wushuang worriedly.
"Which one of these people lacks heart, dig such a big hole here, Qingluo, don't look at it yet, this hole is too deep, I can't climb out, you go and quietly call my brother and scoop me up." The walls are smooth and deep, Rao is Ling Wushuang has light skills, and he can't find a point to borrow strength, so he can only hope for Qingluo.
"Okay, miss, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll find the young master to come back and save you immediately."
"Uh-huh, let's go!" Listening to the footsteps gradually drifting away, Ling Wushuang also gave up the struggle and sat honestly at the bottom of the cave, waiting for rescue.
Alas, does this god see that my life is too stable, and I can fall into such a deep hole when I come to the palace for dinner, it's simple.
"Alas!"
"Alas!"
Ling Wushuang, who was sitting at the bottom of the cave, suddenly heard footsteps nearby, and hurriedly called for help: "Hey, that person passing by, can you save someone?" With the attitude of giving it a try, I asked, but I didn't expect the man to really stop. I saw a figure jump down, and I felt an extra hand on my waist, and with a bang, Ling Wushuang felt that he had left the bottom of the cave.
"Well, thank you!" By the moonlight, Ling Wushuang could see the person in front of him clearly, wearing a silver-white mask and dressed in black, this person didn't appear at the banquet just now, could it be a guard in the palace? This is a big loss.
"Well, I have some silver tickets here, estimated to be about 1,000 taels, all for you, as hush money, you don't have to say anything about me falling into the hole today, just as if it didn't happen." How is it? "The person in front of him didn't say he agreed or disagreed, could it be that he didn't have enough money?
"If you are too little, I will give it to you when I return home, I don't have so much money on me now, anyway, you are on duty in this palace, as long as I enter the palace, you must have a way to know, and then you come to me again, and I will make it up for you, okay?" Why didn't this person speak, he said that he didn't have so much on him, why was he so twisted?
"Young master, quick, Miss is in front."
"My brother is here, just right, I'll let my brother make it up to you." Seeing Qingluo coming over with her brother from afar, she turned around to talk to the masked man, but found that she had disappeared.
"Haunted."
"Shuang'er, how is it, where is the injury? Show my brother. ”
"Brother, it's okay, although the hole is deep, but fortunately, my flesh is thick, it's nothing, hehehe."
"Really?" I also saw it, how could I fall unscathed if I fell into such a deep hole.
"Really, look, I can still jump." As he spoke, he jumped a few times, indicating that he was indeed fine.
"It's okay, who were you talking to?"
"It's a guard in the palace, he just saved me, but he just disappeared suddenly."
"I see, let's go back to the table first, and the next time I meet that guard, I'll thank you in person."
"yes, okay."
"Qingluo, take the young lady to the side hall to clean up, and then bring it back to the table."
"Yes, young master."
The three of them walked back together, Ling Wushuang and Qingluo went to the side hall to sort out their makeup, while Ling Tian went directly back to the table. When the three of them were far away, a man came out from behind a tree on the edge of the cave. That person was wearing a mask, it was the person who had just saved Ling Wushuang, and that person slowly took off the mask.
"Little girl, I've come to see you." After speaking, he looked at the three people who had disappeared at the end of the road, and turned to leave.
