The autumn night wind blew in through the window lattice, stirring the candlelight in the house and casting dancing shadows on the walls.

The woman in the room sat in front of the mirror and looked at the open box, which contained the jade beads given to her by Runzeyu.

At that time, when she saw this jade bead, it would shine, but for some reason these days, she would always take a look at it before falling asleep, but the jade bead no longer had a bright light, just an ordinary jade.

Liu Piaoyi was a little curious, but he didn't understand it.

Is it that the weather is cold, the jade beads are not bright, or is there a pattern of time?

Liu Piaoyi didn't know, and he couldn't guess. Maybe Runze Jade, who once owned jade beads, may be clear, but that person is far away in Yangzhou.

Why did he think of him again, Liu Piaoyi smiled to himself, and put the jade beads back in the box and put them away.

"Miss, it's late at night." Chunlin walked in and reminded.

It's not too early...

"Lock it up." Miss Liu said, standing up and getting ready for bed.

In the middle of the night, there was a little sound, and the sound of the piano came from far and near, and the tune was still the same familiar tone.

Who is playing the piano has been more than once or twice.

"Do you hear me, is there a piano?" Miss Liu said casually.

It seems to be. Chunlin nodded.

"Have you heard of it before?" Miss Liu frowned.

Chunlin thought for a while, "I've heard it once, the slave doesn't remember it very well." ”

Miss Liu sighed, her expression calm, "Can you hear where it came from?" ”

Chunlin was confused in the opposite direction, shook her head, and couldn't figure it out.

Miss Liu muttered to herself, "The piano sounds very good. She smiled lightly, looked sideways at Chunlin and explained, "You can rest first, I'll stand in the courtyard for a while." ”

Miss, this is going to listen to the piano? Chunlin was stunned, "The night is very cold, Miss put on a cloak." ”

Good.

Chunlin took off her cloak from the hanger and waited.

Liu Piaomeng walked out of the door and stood in the courtyard, looking for the direction from which the voice came from and listening carefully. The sound of the piano should have come from outside the wall of her yard, but behind the outer wall of her yard was a deep alley, and on the other side of the alley was supposed to be a house, and she didn't know whose house it belonged to.

Did the sound of the piano come from there?

The sound of the piano wafting in is so melodious and clear, like a mountain spring frolicking among the green mountains; It's so uninhibited; Such as the majesty of the willow tops, so soft and beautiful, such as the colorful butterflies fluttering in the flowers; Such a cold and noble, like a little red plum in the snow dance.

Who can play the piano so well, Liu Piaoyi is very happy and curious, and he wants to know the appearance of the person who plays the piano outside the wall. Looking at the high wall, if you can do light work, can you jump up and see?

Behind the high wall, behind the alley, in the attic of the house, the windows were wide open, the curtains fluttered, and by the windowsill was a man dressed in white, smiling, his slender knobby fingers plucking the strings, his long fine black hair, draped over his shoulders, and the silver mask on his face made him secretive and wicked.

From time to time, his deep eyes looked out the window at the night scene, and that direction was the willow-filled courtyard on the other side of the alley.

If viewed from above, she was standing in her yard with her eyes looking this way, while he was sitting in the attic and looking in her direction.

There is a wall, an alley, and a house.

He played it to the silent night, and she was listening to his piano. Maybe he was playing it to her.

～～～～～～～～～～

Zhang Momo was walking on Northwest Street, wanting to pick out some vegetables to buy and take to Mo Maoli, and wanted to cook a meal for him. She's never cooked before, and she's never been to the market, but today she wants to cook a meal herself. Because of this idea, I learned it from the cook at home yesterday.

Zhang Momo's figure and appearance attracted the attention of the thugs who wandered the streets of the vegetable market, and also the ruffians who often roamed the streets.

The two thugs walked towards Zhang Momo with a smile, and one of them said, "Little lady, how about letting my brother take you to play!" ”

These two people didn't know Zhang Momo at all, they thought it was just a little lady of an ordinary family.

Zhang Momo, who was blocked from the way, glanced at the two of them, raised her temper, and sneered angrily, "See who Miss Ben is, you scoundrel also want to bully Miss Ben, you don't want to die!" ”

"Roar," the scoundrel laughed, how could he believe that the woman in front of him would have any identity back, and how could a young lady with an identity background go to a vegetable market.

"Look scares us." The two of them smiled cheaply, reached out and touched Zhang Momo's chest.

Zhang Momo was so frightened that she hurriedly took a step back. At that moment, a figure suddenly flashed in the crowd, pinched the scoundrel's paw, and pinched it hard, only to hear the sound of bone cracking.

The scoundrel let out an "ouch" in pain, and his face was hideous.

Zhang Momo was pleasantly surprised, and suddenly saw Mo Maoli's appearance that surprised and surprised her.

Seeing this, the other gangster punched at Mo Maoli, who shook off the person who crushed his hand, tiptoed on the ground, flew on the wall of the alley with his strength, jumped high, and slashed down at the ruffian, who was already stunned, and hurriedly blocked it with his hands, but he couldn't stop Mo Maoli's attack at all, and was directly split to the ground by Mo Maoli's kick.

He had to get up from the ground, and Mo Maoli had already arrived

He stepped forward, a foot on his wrist, only

Listening to the click, the ruffian let out a scream, in his mouth

shouted: "Uncle, spare your life, let me go!" I was wrong, I was wrong......"

A sneer curled up at the corner of Mo Maoli's mouth, which quickly disappeared

Missing, he turned his head and said to Zhang Momo, who was still standing there stupidly: "Come here, it's okay." ”

Zhang Momo came back to her senses, obediently walked up to Mo Maoli, and said with admiration, "The son of the world is amazing!" ”

The Son?

When the ruffian who fell to the ground heard this, he seemed to be frightened, and secretly said in his heart that he had offended a person whose identity was not simple.

"Spare your life, uncle." The slippery ruffian lying on the ground is still pleading. Mo Maoli didn't want to provoke more onlookers, so he relented, but said to the ruffian with a cold face, "Don't let this master see you again, otherwise I will see you once." ”

The man hurriedly thanked him, and then ran away.

Thinking that it was all right, Mo Maoli suddenly flew out of nowhere with a sharp arrow, and under his defenselessness, he saw the sharp arrow pierce his right arm.

Zhang Momo was so frightened that her face was pale, she screamed, and suddenly the pedestrians passing in the alley ran away in horror.

Several black-clad masked men descended from the sky.

Zhang Momo hid behind Mo Maoli in fear, and the pain in Mo Maoli's arm made him nervous and worried that he was not the opponent of these people in front of him.

Who will deal with him? Mo Maoli immediately thought of the assassination in the suburbs before arriving in the capital that night. Xue Qin's accomplice who came to seek revenge, or the person who said they wanted to invite when they left. But whoever it is, he will not fall into their hands.

"I dare to appear in the capital, and my courage is not small." Mo Maoli sneered, as if he was not afraid.

The masked man didn't say much, and attacked with his fist, as if it was the speed at which it could be solved as soon as possible.

Mo Maoli pushed Zhang Momo back, and dealt with the arrow wound.

As the masked man approached Mo Maoli, his two guards suddenly sprang out from behind him, blocking Mo Maoli's front and catching the masked man's attack.

The turmoil in the city attracted the officers and soldiers in a moment, and several soldiers who patrolled the city ran over and shouted, "Who is making trouble in the city!" ”

The masked men dodged away when they saw this, and they didn't love fighting. By the time the patrolmen arrived, they had already flown away.

Mo Maoli's guards tried to chase them, but Mo Maoli waved his hand to stop them.

The masked man was obviously not the killer of the Wushenglou that was invited, it must have been the black-clothed men that night who were so cowardly, and the officers and soldiers ran away when they came.

Zhang Momo came back to her senses at this time, and asked worriedly, "Shizi, your wound is very deep, you have to go to the hospital as soon as possible." ”

As soon as the city patrol soldiers arrived, when they saw Zhang Momo, they obviously knew each other, and they hurriedly saluted, "Miss Zhang." ”

Zhang Momo hurriedly instructed the soldiers, "Quick, send the prince to the hospital." ”

When the city patrol soldiers heard this, they were extremely surprised by Mo Maoli's identity. I didn't dare to slack off, and I was busy and diligently sent Mo Maoli to the nearest medical center.

The news of Ke Mo Maoli's arrival in Beijing was soon heard by the captain patrolling the city, and the captain immediately reported it to the Ministry of War, and Ling Yunyi, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also learned of the incident not long after.

Mo Maoli and the two guards in the medical hall frowned, as if they couldn't hide their visit to Beijing.

Before his arm was bandaged, Jian Xiu had already arrived in front of him.

Seeing Jian Xiu's appearance, Mo Maoli smiled helplessly.

Jian Xiu stood aside and quietly glanced at his arm, and asked flatly, "Is Shizi's injury serious?" ”

said that it was serious and could not die, but said that it was not serious, and the wound on his arm hurt his heart, and he couldn't lift it in pain.

"How can it not be serious, the arrow pierces deeply." On the side, Zhang Momo replied to Jian Xiu, her eyes were always on Jian Xiu, not on Mo Maoli's body.

"Maybe it's going to take a long time." Mo Maoli joked to himself and laughed twice.

"Don't make jokes like that." Zhang Momo's face was accompanied by a trace of sadness, she felt that today's incident was caused by herself.

"Who are they?" Jian asked with a solemn face.

Jian Xiu's change of topic, Zhang Momo didn't know what it meant, but Mo Maoli clearly understood, and hesitated, "It should be Xue Qin's accomplice." ”

Jian Xiu was silent.

If it is true, he, the commander of the brocade guard, cannot shirk his responsibility, the traitor is in Beijing, and the brocade guard protects the safety of the capital, how can he allow the rebel thief to run rampant at the feet of the Son of Heaven. Before the Empress Dowager and the Emperor were angry, he should be arrested.

Halfway, Jian Xiu came back to his senses and called to the door, "Someone." ”

The two brocade guards immediately came in.

"Send the prince to my Qingluan Courtyard, and send more people to guard it." He commanded.

Mo Maoli did not refuse, and immediately understood that Jian Xiu had to protect his safety. He is the prince of the Qianguo Mansion in Yunnan, how could he be killed in the capital. Besides, he is also willing to stay in Qingluan Courtyard and see Miss Liu.

But she went back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Mo Maoli was silent, but still got up and asked the brocade guards to escort him.

Zhang Momo immediately said to Mo Maoli, "I'll go with me to take care of you." He peeked at Jian Xiu after speaking, waiting for his consent.

Jian Xiu said indifferently, "Miss Zhang, let's go back to your mansion, your father may not allow it." ”

Mo Maoli looked at Zhang Momo, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile: "I'm fine, Master Zhang's other courtyard is safe and there are people to serve you, you better go back." ”

Zhang Momo wanted to say something, but Mo Maoli had already stepped out and ignored her.

Jian Xiu didn't pay attention to her anymore, and walked out of the hospital with Mo Maoli.

When a person is quiet, it is easy to be sad, Zhang Momo is such a person, and her eyes gradually moistened. She didn't know why she was suddenly in a bad mood.

Because of whom?
