There was nothing going on in the General's Mansion all night.

There is no news from the DPRK and China, and the people of the Imperial Forest Army are still guarding the door, and the general's palace is more or less depressed. Anting was quiet for a moment and then a little unbearable, quarreled with the Imperial Forest Army guarding the door, and almost made a move, but was finally stopped by An Ling, and was scolded by the Xu family who rushed over, and now he is angry alone in the courtyard and refuses to go out.

An Li and Xu often chatted in their own yards, which was a rare and stable life.

With a little interest in the morning, Gu Mingxiu took Miao Lan and a small porcelain bottle to collect the morning dew on the branches. The skirt was wet with grass on the path, and when the two came back, Mozhu had already set up a small stove in the backyard, and was holding a guqin and carefully arranging it. Taking a handkerchief to wipe the body of the piano, Mo Zhu smiled first when he saw the two of them returning: "The clothes are ready, the girl will go and change her clothes first." You still need to pay attention to the cold weather on this day, so as not to get cold again. ”

"Hmm." Handing over the recovered morning dew to Mo Zhu, Gu Mingxiu said, "Mu Lan will go and change her clothes first, and I will give you a small day for half a day today, and I will be in the backyard, so I don't need you to guard here." ”

"Yes." Mo Zhu bowed his head, and looked at the things in his eyes uneasily, and then retreated with Mu Lan.

The sky is blue, and it is difficult to see the cool breeze. Under the long sky, the white light yarn swayed slightly, and there were koi carp jumping by the pool, splashing water droplets like rain. The girl in purple leaned alone in the small pavilion under the ancient tree, looking down at the scrolls spread out on the stone table. Pale white smoke was slowly rising from the small furnace, and her slender fingers brushed the strings and slowly plucked them twice.

The breeze stirred up the smoke, and the light and pleasant sound of the piano sounded in the small courtyard.

The incense mist is hazy, and the fragrance of tea overflows into the nose. The girl in purple was dressed in a fluffy cloak, and her long black hair was scattered over her hood. She wore her hair in a simple bun and a long lilac band, and when the wind blew, she spread her wings wantonly in the air. The girl in purple jumped on the strings with her ten fingers, and the sound of the strings did not stop.

It's like the warm sun of June, and the clouds are idle.

The girl in purple lowered her eyes and said nothing, her long hair sliding down her shoulders and down to her chest. She tilted her head slightly, and her sideburns gently stroked beside her cheeks, making her eyes cold and bright, hiding a few spark-like lights, and her aura was compelling but extremely cold.

Before the song ended, the girl in purple frowned lightly, and then smoothed it out. Her expression was gentle and calm, but her hands suddenly stopped playing, and her ten fingers pressed the strings that were still vibrating, and the sound of the piano stopped abruptly.

Gu Mingxiu's eyes were clear, and his tone was light: "This piano was originally played well, but the tone suddenly changed." It's not that the strings are loose, it's not a miss, that is, someone is eavesdropping in the dark - don't do a good prince, if you want to learn from the gentleman of Liangshang to do stealing, wouldn't it be to lose the face of your Great Song Dynasty if it is spread out? ”

The last sentence suddenly turned cold, with a slight tingling dislike.

As she spoke, there were several unhurried applause. Undisguised footsteps followed the path behind him, and the young man's lazy voice sounded with a laugh: "Oh? I remember that Miss Xiu'er didn't practice martial arts, so she was more alert than others. I haven't listened to this piano for a while, and then I let you stop, where can you be considered a gentleman on the beam. ”

Hearing what the other party called him, Gu Ming frowned without a trace, and his tone was a little displeased: "Please also ask Prince Song to respect himself, don't be indiscriminate." She slowly picked up her hand from the piano, turned her head and said lightly, "I have now made a marriage with His Royal Highness King Xiao, and I also ask Prince Song not to ruin my reputation." ”

After saying this, Gu Mingxiu had already stood up and looked up at the person behind him lightly.

Across the pool, the person who stood still with a fan was Song Xuan.

Hearing Gu Mingxiu's words, the person who originally had a gentle smile and a gentle expression suddenly swept a trace of gloom, and immediately hid the displeasure quietly: "Yes, Miss Gu will be Princess Xiao soon, if I accidentally 'ruin' your reputation, I'm afraid that His Royal Highness King Xiao will not let me go." With a bit of ill-will in his tone, Song Xuan shook his fan and walked casually, "It's just.... What's the use of saying it so beautifully? Now that the General's Mansion is suffering, and you are imprisoned here, have you ever seen that His Highness help you and help your General's Mansion? He didn't even come to see you, and he didn't summon a doctor to come and see you when he heard you were sick. Miss Gu, he-is your beloved? ”

Gu Mingxiu's eyes were slightly pale, but he didn't speak. The breeze blew the long band of the purple-clothed girl's hair, and the wide, soft cloak hung down from the railing behind her to her feet, lining the girl's weak and thin figure, as if it would be blown down by the wind at any moment. It's just a few days, and the girl in purple has lost a little weight, and she seems to be a little weak when she looks at it.

Seeing that she didn't answer, Song Xuan thought that when it came to the other party's weakness, a little smug flashed in his eyes. He shook his fan and walked in her direction, slowed down his voice and said, "Shen Huai looks good, and he likes to deceive little girls the most." Although you are wise, you will inevitably be deceived when you encounter these love things, and mistakenly think that he is sincere...... It's just that the world is difficult, if you realize it earlier, it is not difficult to stop losses in time. ”

When he said this, he had already walked in front of Gu Mingxiu. Retracting the folding fan, Song Xuan raised his hand and touched the teacup on the table, and chuckled: "Don't be sad, it's better to withdraw now than later." You should know, I.... I really want to marry you. ”

The porcelain cup is played with in the hand, and the sound of colliding with the stone table is crisp. Song Xuan looked at the purple-clothed girl in front of him with his head down, and couldn't help but reach out and touch her cheek - at the same time, the person in front of him suddenly raised his head. Her face was snow-white, and there were a few smiles in her eyes, mocking and cold.

Seeing her expression, Song Xuan seemed to be slapped in the face. He withdrew his hand a little embarrassed, stepped back, and his tone was a little annoyed: "I was originally for your good!" Gu Mingxiu, don't be ignorant! It's past tonight—"

"Why do you want to humiliate yourself again and again?" Gu Mingxiu interrupted him lightly, pressed his slender fingers on the cloaking strap and took two steps back, brushed the cloak back and sat down. Touching the strings with his fingertips, Gu Mingxiu said lightly, "It's useless to say more, Prince Song, please." ”

"You ........." Song Xuandeng's face sank, and he looked coldly at the girl in purple who was making tea leisurely when he didn't exist, and he sneered, "Once you get acquainted, I might as well tell you." If you are willing, I will arrange for you to leave Da Shen tonight, change your name and surname to become my Song Kingdom Crown Princess, if you are unwilling.... Gu Mingxiu, you may not survive tonight! ”

Gu Mingxiu turned a deaf ear, just plucked the strings, and his eyes were slightly cold.

Seeing this, Song Xuan sneered, stopped talking, and walked away.

When there was no sound in the courtyard, Gu Mingxiu slowly raised his head, with a little chill in his eyes.

It's night, and it's two moments away. There was silence in the General's Mansion, and the candlelight flickered. Near the two houses in the backyard of the kitchen, there was a sudden flash of fire, and then the fire grew larger, but the flames quickly spread to both sides. A moment later, someone's panicked screams resounded throughout the General's Mansion.

"It's out of the water! Gone out of the water!! ”

"Hurry, hurry! Hurry up and put out the fire!! ”

The fire was swift and intense, and by the time the surrounding people were alarmed, several houses had already been engulfed in the backyard. Watering back and forth did not do much at all, but the fire became more and more dangerous.

Xu Shi and the others were all alarmed, and everyone panicked and hurriedly put out the fire.

In the panic, a little maid secretly hid behind the rockery, looked at the people who were in a hurry, and quietly turned around and ran back. The guards at the door of General An's study were all called to put out the fire, but there was no one to guard them. Xiao Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed the things in her hand and ran to the study-

Before she could get close to the gate, a man jumped out of the yoko, grabbed her by the arm and pushed her to the ground. Xiao Zhu screamed, and the hand was released, and a small bamboo tube fell to the ground. Agarwood curled her eyes slightly, pressed her hand and said, "Say!" Who are you going to signal to! ”

Xiao Zhu was in a cold sweat, and before she could speak, suddenly a firework rose behind the agarwood-

"Sure enough, there are accomplices!" Agarwood sneered and raised her hand to stun Xiao Zhu. Xiao Zhu didn't even have time to speak, and fainted. Agarwood threw her away, straightened up and ordered, "Take her down and take care of her!" ”

"Yes!" Out of nowhere, two guards immediately answered.

"Who hid the fireworks in the house?" An Ting was surprised.

The signal fireworks were fleeting in mid-air, surprisingly fast. Gu Mingxiu looked at the fireworks, with a little coldness in his eyes. The fireworks were burst out of the fire, and it was hard to tell who threw them. Xu Shi and An Li did not speak, but they were both a little uneasy.

"Girl." Agarwood returned to Gu Mingxiu's side and whispered a few words in her ear.

Gu Ming embroidered her head, she frowned and said, "I'm a little uneasy, you be careful-"

As if to confirm her uneasiness, before she finished her words, many black-clothed killers suddenly flew out of her surroundings. Those people were menacing, jumping into the inner courtyard and wielding knives to kill - An Li was alert early, and shouted at the first moment: "Do it!" Protect the rest of the people away! ”

As soon as she spoke, the servants around her, who had been dressed as subordinates, immediately threw down the bucket in their hands, and responded with a sword that had been hidden around her. The fire did not subside, and the panicked servants fled in all directions, and the guards who were rushed out immediately retreated behind the Moon Gate.

"The rest don't have to worry about it! Kill a few of them! ”

"The brothers and sisters of the An family, the sisters of the Gu family, are not left! Kill them all! ”

The voice of the man in black was cold to the bone, but the words he said taught An Li to be furious. She drew the sword on her side and said sharply, "Who sent you?" For what! ”

"Phew! Kill us! It's up to you?! An Ting was originally displeased, but when she heard this, her face was furious, and she said angrily, "Look at how many of you have today!" If you don't clean up well, you really think we are bullies!! ”

Reading is exciting, reading is wonderful!
