Chapter 33 Leaving the song and setting fire to save himself
"A farewell to March is like three autumns; Tie Ge is hard to break, and Siqing is leisurely. Tonight, the Lotus Pavilion will not be seen or dispersed. ”
The words of Luohe are like its people, ethereal, vigorous and powerful, vertical and horizontal, and the charm is deep. Compared with the perennial Jin Ge Iron Horse, the general who resists the enemy in military uniform, his handwriting is the best.
However, such an excellent character could not arouse Tang Linlang's emotions, her eyes were flat, she crumpled the note, and threw it into the lotus pond, and the little carp by the pond shook its tail in a hurry.
Luohe, heh, is another brave man trapped by love.
The sound of insects in the night was bursting, annoying, and she didn't fall asleep after turning the song several times, only to feel that her mouth was dry, she gently called Xiaoqiu outside, no one answered for a long time, and it took her a long time to react.
Today, my brother has a party, and it is estimated that Xiaoqiu will be waiting for my brother as early as possible.
She sighed helplessly, got out of bed, staggered to the table, poured a cup of tea and moistened her throat, feeling more energetic and sleepless.
Simply, walk to the window and want to open the window to blow the wind and breathe.
As soon as the window opened, a cool wind blew in, and Lige's huge robe and loose hair fluttered with it.
A few days ago, the thunderstorm showered the gray sky and washed it through, and now at night, the night is like a curtain, countless stars are dotted in it, the spots are shining with a faint light, and the moonlight is like water pouring on the ground, wrapping everything in the world in it, and making people drunk with warmth.
Lige was admiring the moon, blowing the wind, his eyes were half-squinted, as if he was going to fall asleep in the next second.
Suddenly, there was a shadow on the outermost window, and Lige thought it was the shadow of the leaves swaying and falling in the wind, so he only glanced at it and turned his head again.
The wind wasn't too strong tonight, so why was that shadow shaking so hard?
Suspicious of the song, he turned his head to look at the shadow in a panic, and never thought that the shadow was getting closer and closer, and the more it was shaking, the clearer and clearer it was.
Lige opened his eyes wide and saw that it was a figure, still holding a dagger in his hand.
The shadow slowly moved towards the door, Lige immediately covered his mouth, shook his body to calm himself down, his back was already crawling with cold sweat, cold sweat soaked his clothes, and as soon as the wind blew outside the window, Lige shivered.
Whether it is a political enemy or an enemy country, there are more or less people who want to harm Yu Liyu, this Xiangye, who is half the sky of Southern Chu, so although the Prime Minister's Mansion is not as heavily guarded as the palace, there are several waves of manpower patrolling inside and outside.
There is a shadow chasing around Liyu, a secret guard secretly raised, and Lige also has a chasing wind and four personal guards around him. All along, there really hasn't been anyone who has been able to avoid the layers of guards and break into the courtyard.
There is only one person who comes, and he can't find out the reality of the other party when he leaves the song, so he can't rush to meet the enemy.
The dark eyes turned a few times, and seeing that the shadow was getting closer and closer, he was in a hurry to get wise, and hurriedly threw the candle flame beside him to the bed.
The weather is dry, and the candle flame meets the bed curtain, and it burns as soon as it is lit.
Lige didn't know if there was anyone else outside the window, so he didn't dare to jump out of the window rashly and escape, just squatted under the window, staring at the black shadow outside.
Seeing that there was a fire inside the house, the figure outside really stopped.
Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, a mahogany bed was wrapped in flames and soon collapsed. Gradually, the fire spread to the Nanmu cabinet on the side, and Lige covered his nose with his sleeve, still choking on the smoke and coughing.
His eyes burned like a burning feeling, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his chest, and although he didn't touch the fire, Lige still felt that he was going to melt in the next moment.
"Let's go to the water! Let's go to the water! Someone's coming! Miss's house is out of water! ”
Xiaoqiu's panicked voice sounded outside.
Suddenly, the door was pushed open, and Lige covered his mouth, shrunk himself to the far corner, and looked out of the door vigilantly.
"Miss! Miss! ”
It's Xiaoqiu's call!
Lige wanted to stand up and respond, but his legs were as weak as bones, he had no strength at all, and his throat was smoked, and he couldn't shout for a while.
The smoke was filled, the vision was blurred, and the shouts outside were soaring, and Lige was afraid that Xiaoqiu would not notice her, so he hurriedly pushed the shelf of the brass basin next to him.
The sound of the brass basin falling to the ground was crisp, and Xiaoqiu was attracted to it at once.
In the firelight, she saw the song curled up under the window. Lige's face was as pale as a blank piece of paper, and his once delicate and agile look was now only in a trance and bleak, and all the hair on his forehead was wet with sweat and stuck to his face, wet, like a drowning kitten.
Seeing this, Xiaoqiu jumped a few beats, cried and dragged Lige out of the door.
As soon as they stepped out of the room, in the blink of an eye, the wing room behind them was immediately engulfed in flames.
The continuous firefighting buckets of water, in the face of the fire, were like a drop in the bucket, without any effect, and after a while, a row of connected wings were burned.
This car is on fire, and the song and dance are leveling.
Li Yu was in a good mood, ate a few more glasses of wine, and was a little drunk at the moment, smiling at the officials who wanted to slap him.
Suddenly, the shadow outside the banquet hurried over and muttered a few words in Liyu's ear.
I saw that Liyu's expression changed greatly, and the moment he got up, he disrupted the wine glass on the table, and his leg bumped into the table. Looking at the pale and pale face, the colleagues at the table all looked at each other and were stunned.
What is it that makes the usual breeze and clouds leave the phase, panic and can't figure out the direction.
Xiao Mochen, who had just re-seated, saw Liyu leaving in a hurry, and his heart was faintly uneasy.
He hurriedly summoned Xiaobei and asked him to go outside to inquire about the news, and he lowered his head and poured wine.
The waiting time is always sad, Xiao Mochen raised his eyes and glanced at the banquet, his narrow eyes were full of disgust, this banquet seemed to be lively, but he didn't even have a person to talk to relieve his boredom.
Although he had many brothers and sisters, none of them were present today. Xiao Mohan wanted to come over to cheer, but he was deeply involved in rumors, and he had no face to leave the house, let alone come to the banquet.
Xiao Mochen looked at the door, waiting for the news, glass after glass of wine, the emotion in his eyes was unknown.
Suddenly, Xiaobei also hurriedly entered the table and muttered a few words in Xiao Mochen's ear.
The reaction was the same as that of Liyu, Xiao Mochen's face was originally ruddy due to drunkenness, but at this moment he was as pale as paper, and the wine glass in his hand had already fallen to the ground and rolled a few times.
Xiao Mochen's hand on the table trembled slightly, and his voice trembled slightly: "What about her?" Are you okay? ”
"It's fine, just a little frightened."
"Let's go, go with this king."
Looking at His Royal Highness King Chen, who was also bumpy and pale in his walking, everyone looked at each other again, and even the master was gone, what did they leave behind.
At the time of a sip of tea, the guests in the flower hall were almost gone, Tang Linlang, who was hidden behind the screen, was drinking tea elegantly, she put down the teacup, elegantly wiped the corners of her mouth, and the corners of her eyes were slightly upturned.
It's just that the smile is not ordinary, and it comes through the enchanting eyebrows and eyes, which makes people feel a little chilly for no reason.
With that reaction, it would be time for that woman to shed her skin if she didn't die.
When Liyu returned to the house, Lige had already cleaned up, she sat in the front hall, drinking the soothing tea brought by Xiaoqiu, her eyes wandering, thinking carefully about what had just happened.
Seeing Lige sitting upright, Liyu relieved his heart, and his pale face gradually regained color.
Seeing him, Lige put down the teacup and called out to his brother in a dumb voice.
Li Yu walked towards her quickly, looked at her carefully, and saw that her eyes were slightly swollen, as if she had cried.
As soon as her heart tightened, Li Yu hugged Lige in her arms and gently stroked her simple curled hair: "It's okay, it's okay, my brother is back." ”
Lige sniffed, hugged Liyu's waist, and slowly stabilized her breathing, and after a while, she let go of him and briefly told him what had just happened.
"Assassins?" Li Yu looked down at her, his gloomy eyes full of incredulity.
He knew better than anyone else the security of the Prime Minister's Mansion, how could any assassin be able to silently raise his knife to the courtyard where he left the song?
Li Ge seemed to see through Li Yu's doubts at the moment, and continued: "What's even more incredible is that the assassin is not tall, fat, and his hand holding the knife is trembling slightly, looking at his figure, he looks like an elderly woman. ”
Li Yu squinted, thinking about the scattered broken hair for Li Ge.
"It looks like there's a ghost in our house."
Lige nodded in agreement, and then his face was full of doubts: "But I basically haven't been in contact with other people in the house, who wants to put me to death?" If someone outside buys murder, it shouldn't be this kind of woman who is not agile and not neat at all. Unless, the woman's image is deliberately disguised by the Assassin to let my guard down, or to distract our vision? ”
If so, the Assassins hiding in the shadows would be more difficult. The Prime Minister's Mansion is so big, it is unlikely that the assassin will be found in a short time, and it can't be delayed for too long, for fear that he will attack Lige again. The enemy is in the dark, she is in the light, and she is really unguardable.
Li Yu frowned and fell into deep thought, his fingers slowly became cold, and after a while, he asked, "Xiao Wan, think about it carefully, except for that assassin, there is nothing special except for the body type?" ”
Hearing this, Lige lowered his head, playing with the tassel on the jade pendant on Liyu's waist while falling into memory.
She relived the thrilling scene in her mind, and suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she looked up at Li Yu and said, "I opened the window, and when the wind blew, I smelled a strange smell on her." ”
"What does it smell like?" Li Yu then asked.
Lige's sense of smell has been more sensitive than ordinary people since he was a child, and it would be good if he could really find a clue in this regard, so that he wouldn't turn over the Xiangfu several times without a clue.
Lige looked thoughtful, his nose shrank very cooperatively, and finally said: "That smell is like the smell of firewood, and it looks like the smell of oil smoke." ”
As soon as the words fell, the two looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Kitchen!" ”
