Chapter 214: The Wild Wind and the Water Gurgling
The deep alley is quiet, and you can see the shadows of the trees in the wall and the eaves of the vines. Occasionally, there are cars and horses, and the white smoke of the hanging furnace under the hanging beam is thin, and there is only a trail of fragrant dust left.
Tong Fu held the porcelain vase in his hand, the lid was removed, and although the aroma was strong, it seemed to dissipate quickly. Tung flower nectar is the favorite food of tung flower phoenix. If the tung flower phoenix is around Xi Rong and smells this smell, it should come out......
I don't know how long I walked, the moon moved to the sky, and Tong Fu was a little disappointed. Fang just passed by Li Jinglong's mansion and deliberately stayed for a while, but there was no movement.
Walking out of the laneway, it is rare to see an open field, where the river canal converges as a lake. The surrounding reeds and grasses are flourishing, and although no one is close to each other, there are also a few sparse trees of scarlet peaches, green calyxes and begonias. No one takes care of it, and there is wild fun in the clear moonlight.
She found a flat stone by the lake and sat down, looking from here, the pavilion on the other side of the small lake was full of shadows, and it seemed to be Li Jinglong's house. I don't know if it's because of the seclusion, there is no light in the whole courtyard, and it looks even more desolate than the wild pond in front of me.
After looking at it for a while, she felt a little hungry, so she simply brought the bottle to her mouth and took a sip. The strange fragrance penetrated into the heart and spleen, and the fatigue of Fang Cai was dissipated, no wonder this little phoenix picked his mouth, this ordinary nectar was indeed a few points worse than this tung nectar. Just as he was about to drink again, he heard the sound of cars and horses coming near, and he came towards him.
Tong Fu turned his head to see that the carriage and horse were vaguely in the shape of an official family, and hurriedly avoided the dense reeds on the side. I regret it a little in my heart, this area doesn't come often, just because of the high family and deep households, there are more troublesome things than usual, if you listen to something you shouldn't hear......
The carriage stopped not far from where she had been sitting, and the stagecoach man got down and whispered something to the cart, and then avoided it.
It didn't take long for another horse's hoofs to approach, and I heard someone turn over and go straight to the carriage, "Drink and drink, what the hell is this place to find......" The voice was a man, and somehow, Tong Fu felt that it sounded a little familiar.
Then the people in the car lifted the curtain and came out, "What's wrong here?" Isn't it better than the noisy Qinhuai River? Or is it that Brother Lu, you are so good? The voice seemed to be a woman's voice, and it sounded a little familiar.
The two walked to the lake and sat down together, when the sound of the wine jar being put down. Tong Fu complained bitterly in his heart, is this really going to drink and talk here? I knew that I had just entered the water and escaped, but now it is too close to enter the water, and it is easy to be detected when I enter the water.
"What are you doing all the way here? It must have slipped out. The man said.
"What do you mean by slipping? Legs and feet grow on me, I can go wherever I like, who can stop me? ”
The man snorted softly, "Turn around and be caught, don't cry!" ”
"They didn't bother me! Hey, believe it or not, I guess eighty percent haven't found out that I've escaped......"
"Your father and your second brother may not have noticed it yet, but your eldest brother ...... Don't think about it, I guess as soon as you step out of the palace gate, he will know......"
The two touched the wine cup and drank it again, and the man said, "How many people did you bring out this time?" ”
The woman was busy pouring wine, "It's quite a lot, Ding Lian, Li Yun and Mo Yong." ”
"Just? Quite a lot? The man smacked his tongue, "Do you know that in this Beijing division recently, in addition to you, there are also people from the southwest?" Aren't you worried about your life? ”
"It's not the same in the palace, although there are people sent by my eldest brother to guard day and night, when has it been stable? Rather than being left unattended, why don't you take a stroll here......?"
Tong Fu was confused when he heard this, could it be that the princess in this palace ran out of the Daming Palace? Or which prince slipped out? No matter where you ran out and bumped into yourself, if something happens, you can explain it clearly...... And again, people from the southwest? Liao Qing babbled a few words that day, but it has something to do with this?
I thought about it for a while, and heard the man suddenly say in a low voice: "Ah Sheng, don't speak!" Someone ......"
Hearing this sentence, Tong was in a cold sweat, and he didn't make a sound, how could he be discovered?
Then the man dragged the woman, named Ah Sheng, to her feet and ran to the carriage. Before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air, sharp and piercing, nailing to the carriage with an incessant sound. She pushed aside the reeds and saw the man holding a short knife in his hand, and he swept away the oncoming arrows one by one, barely protecting the people behind him.
Seeing that he was gradually weakening, he didn't care that he was suddenly hit by an arrow in his shoulder, Tong Fu couldn't care about it anymore, and separated the reeds and shouted: "Avoid here!" ”
The two turned around, hesitated for a moment, and both ducked into the reeds, and lowered their bodies with Tong Fu. The arrows came in one after another, but they were blocked by the dense reeds and grass, and they quickly lost their strength and dispersed.
It was pitch black in the reeds, and Tong Fu lowered his voice, "There is no other way, but to go ......"
The word "in the water" also came out of the man's mouth. At that moment, the three of them groped their way to the depths of the reeds, and the soil under their feet gradually became moist and soft, and soon they reached the water's edge.
"Can you know water?" Kiri asked.
"Nonsense, of course I will!"
Just as the clouds dispersed, the moonlight fell, and Tong Fu looked at the person in front of him clearly, "Uncle Lu?!" ”
Lu Yanbo was also stunned, but quickly came back to his senses and pulled the woman next to him behind him, "It's you again!" Who exactly? Why do you secretly follow? ”
Kirifu was not angry, "I got here first...... Come on, hurry up, swim east, and see the tallest tree? From there there is an alley, and follow the alley to the west, and soon you will reach the river, where there are many people and boats......"
Before he finished speaking, Lu Lubo had already turned over and entered the water with the woman in his arms, and swam away in the blink of an eye. Kiri didn't even have time to see the woman's appearance clearly.
Kiriwa came out of the water, turned around and saw that no one had caught up, and there seemed to be no movement on the other side of the dark lake, and hurriedly stepped into the alley. Seeing that there was no one in front of her, she had to admire Lu Yanbo's wateriness, hugging a big living person, she could still swim so fast even if she was injured...... However, how did this fierce treasure ship-builder get to this place to drink with an escaped county lord?
She hadn't gone far, when she heard the carriage and horses in front of her, she hurriedly avoided the side, this soaked alone night walk, it was really suspicious. Unexpectedly, the carriage and horse actually stopped in front of him, and a hand stretched out from the curtain of the carriage to open the curtain, and he heard a familiar sound of gritting his teeth, "Are you too idle?" ”
Kirifu was stunned and looked up, "Why are you ...... here?"
