Chapter 37: Into the Trap

It's night, the night sky is clear, a round of crescent moon hangs high above the night sky, the brilliance is bright, reflected in the bright lake below, the pool of brightness and who is more like a little more vivid, a little wave of infinite light, like jade agate scattered and colliding into small pieces, in a satin silver chain to jump in general.

This Ming Lake is very large, connected to the moat of Yi County, and is a good place for boating on the lake. The lake is located between Yi County and the surrounding counties, and even more so, it is connected to the surrounding states and counties by a long river.

Nowadays, when I look at the dialect, I only feel that the boats in the lake are connected to each other, and there are countless boats. There is a simple one-leaf boat, and there are three or two people sitting on the bow of the boat and flowing with the waves. There are also exquisite and luxurious giant shipyards, which can be seen to be brightly lit on the two- or three-storey high cabins, and from time to time there are shadowy figures reflected on the window coffin, and there are also attendants and maids who come and go shuttle, a scene of harmony and prosperity.

"There is no such big lake near Hongnong, it is difficult to see such a scene, it is really full of bright lights, and it is very beautiful." Yang Jinrong stood by the lake with her skirt on, looking at the scene in the center of the lake, and said with some envy.

"Do you like this water feature?" Hua Xiyan turned his head to look at Yang Jinrong's bright eyes and asked in a clear voice.

"I grew up in Zhuangzi, where there were many rivers and paddy fields, and I used to play there when I was a child. The day after tomorrow, I returned to Yang's house, and I never saw such a scene again. ”

Listening to Yang Jinrong's somewhat sad voice, Hua Xiyan's heart moved. Yang Jinrong didn't grow up in Yang's family since he was a child, why is this?

"What kind of messy things I said on such a good day, it's really ......" Yang Jinrong suddenly laughed softly, and said with some annoyance, and in an instant, his pure and lovely face returned to its previous radiance.

Although Hua Xiyan was very surprised, he still respected the privacy of others, so he just nodded and didn't say anything.

"The ship is coming, let's go up too." Yang Jinrong walked over, shook his fan and said to a few people.

Sure enough, a large ship slowly approached the shore and lowered its deck.

There were a lot of people on the boat, and looking at the brilliant treasures and jewelry under the moonlight, you knew that the people above were either rich or expensive, and from time to time there were loud laughter, coquettish voices, and wind moans, but they stopped abruptly when they saw a few people on the shore.

Yang Jincheng walked in front, with a merry smile on his lips, his eyes swept over the faces of the first few people, the smile on his lips was a little deeper, and there were many coquettish praises sounded, and some people bent down to take care of Luo's skirt and caress their sideburns, for fear that there would be a mistake in their bodies.

One person came with a graceful body, cloud temples and beads, and a gorgeous face that could not be concealed even by the kind night, it was Xie Yan who was dressed up.

"A few are here, please!" Xie Yan turned sideways slightly, leading a few people towards an empty table on the deck, like a host.

"I really didn't expect that Yun Gongzi would come here tonight." Xie Yan sat down with her skirt and looked at Yun Qi with an indifferent look on the opposite side and said.

Yun Qi smiled slightly: "I am also a mortal who eats grains, and I naturally like such a lively place." ”

"I thought that Yun Gongzi was used to going deep into Jianchu, since this is the case, it is good over there, my father has been talking about Yun Gongzi, and I am looking forward to Yun Gongzi going to Chen County to play for a day or two, and my father has fulfilled his wish for many years." Xie Yan said, with a modest look, a sincere tone, and an extremely serious expression.

"There is Lao Chen Shibo to remember, and if you are free, you will definitely go to disturb one or two." Yun Qi nodded slightly and said respectfully and reasonably.

Xie Yan'er, her face is a little brighter, and her lips are beautiful.

The boat lifted anchor again and sailed slowly towards the center of the lake, with a gentle breeze and extremely cool.

From time to time, there are lotus lanterns or mandarin duck lanterns floating on the lake, and you can still see a steady stream of lights on the shore from a distance, a radiant scene. The shore twists and turns, and a shiny silver ribbon is in sight.

"How many, do you mind if you think my husband and I are sitting here?"

Suddenly, there was an inquiry, and Hua Xiyan didn't need to turn his head to know who was coming.

Sun Muyang looked around at a few people, the expression on his face was very modest, and there was Zhao Qingru in gorgeous clothes standing next to him, but the eyes of the two fell on Hua Xiyan after a turn.

Hua Xiyan looked sideways at the vast lake on the other side, and from their perspective, they could see that her beautiful pen was still very charming. Her hair was loosely caught, and a pearl pendant and hosta were long and pendant pendants in her ears, which made her earlobes small, her skin was as white as fat, and the halo of yellow shrouded her side face, and there was an indescribable hazy beauty.

"You two may be seated!" Yun Qi's warm voice pulled back the thoughts of the two.

Sun Muyang was stunned, and looked at Yun Qi reflexively, only to see that his narrow eyes were indescribably dark and deep, like a deep pool, as if it was integrated with the silent night sky of his Kobe.

Sun Muyang immediately bowed slightly towards Yun Qi and pulled Zhao Qingru to sit down slowly.

"Sun Gongzi and Mrs. Ling are really a couple, which is enviable." Yang Jincheng looked at the hands of the two of them clasped tightly, and looked at the mouth meaningfully.

Zhao Qingru pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, but for some reason there was a stiffness in that smile.

Yang Gongzi laughed. Sun Muyang spoke, his eyes still looking at Hua Xiyan, as if he wanted to see some expression on her face.

Hua Xiyan was still silent, ignoring the conversation of several people, and turning a blind eye to Sun Muyang's gaze.

"I don't know if you've heard a story." Yun Qi suddenly spoke, looked at everyone suspiciously, and then said, "During the Ming Emperor period, there was a king with a different surname who was King Shuo. Legend has it that this King Shuo has a snow mountain spirit fox as a pet, always with him, and the blood of this spirit fox has saved King Shuo's life. Subsequently, one of the Qing guests of the king of Shuo brought him a spirit bird. Legend has it that the sound of this spirit bird is like a heavenly sound, but the scholar recites poetry against it, and King Shuo is trained every day, only to feel the novelty, and actually left the spirit fox behind. ”

"King Shuo knew that Emperor Ming liked the bird, so he trained the spirit bird and sent it to Emperor Ming. Emperor Ming Longyan Dayue praised King Shuo, and then summoned King Shuo into the palace from time to time to discuss the art of raising birds, so King Shuo was even more favored by the saints, and the honor was attached, and the spirit fox was left behind. ”

Yun Qi's voice suddenly stopped, everyone was fascinated by it, Xie Yan couldn't help but urge: "What's next?" What about the spirit fox? ”

Yun Qi smiled slightly, and continued: "That spirit fox broke an enamel bottle that King Shuo loved one day, and King Shuo was furious and expelled the spirit fox from the mansion after beating him severely. Legend has it that the spirit fox left only, blood was filled, everyone thought that the spirit fox could not live, but the Jingwu master of Huangzhao Temple appeared, took the spirit fox back, and King Shuo did not hear from it again. After that, the spirit bird in the palace didn't know how it had a conflict with the Empress Dowager Naruhito, and blinded the Empress Dowager Naruhito, and the spirit bird's claws were hugely poisonous, and the only one who could solve it was the blood of the spirit fox, but at that time, Master Jing had passed away, and the spirit fox didn't know where to go. The Empress Dowager Naruhito died after a long reign, and the saint was furious, thinking that this ominous thing was entered by King Shuo, and a cup of poisoned wine was given to King Shuo to death, and the palace of King Shuo was copied. ”

When Yun Qi's words fell, everyone sighed, just saying that it was a good thing to be promoted to the knighthood, but in the end, it evolved into such a consequence, which was really unexpected.

Hua Xiyan looked at Yun Qi with a pair of clear Ling Ling eyes, I don't know if it was her illusion, she felt that Yun Qi should mean something when she said this story. Otherwise, according to his temperament, he will not tell any story for no reason.

Yang Jincheng knocked the folding fan in his hand on the table, and the crisp sound shocked everyone's hearts like a waking tree. But he said disappreciatively: "I have also heard about this. I heard that the king of Nashuo vigorously searched for the spirit fox when the queen mother had an accident, but to no avail. ”

"Naturally, there is no result." Yun Wei also spoke, "It was he who abandoned the spirit fox, so the spirit fox is naturally no longer his possession, what qualifications does he have to covet it again?" On the other hand, the spirit bird thought it was something that attracted wealth and treasure, but in the end it was a disaster. Such an evil spirit thing should not have entered the Son of Heaven in the first place, and it was he who held it in his hand as a treasure, which was really stupid! ”

When Yun Wei's words fell, Sun Muyang was drenched in cold sweat, which was really abnormal in this cool summer night.

"Sun Gongzi is not feeling well?" Yang Jincheng saw Sun Muyang's abnormality and opened his mouth with concern, but his eyes were cold with sarcasm.

"I didn't ...... It's nothing...... Go on, everybody, and take the liberty of leaving! Sun Muyang said, stood up and left in a panic, his figure staggered a little.

Hua Xiyan quietly lowered his eyelashes, a smile on his lips, and said to a few people: "Lose your company!" ”

With that, he stood up and walked in the other direction of the deck.

Zhao Qingru also couldn't sit still, thinking that Sun Muyang's gaze had not changed when it fell on that woman just now, and now that the two of them left at the same time, isn't there something wrong?

Thinking of Hua Xiyan's delicate face, as well as her relationship with Sun Muyang since childhood, Zhao Qingru's heart was even more entangled, and the handkerchief in her hand was tied into a knot.

"If you have something to do with it, you don't have to worry about it here." Looking at Zhao Qingru's tightly entangled brows, Xie Yan opened her mouth to mention.

Zhao Qingru raised his head suddenly, saw a meaningful look in Xie Yan's eyes, suddenly came back to his senses, nodded and left.

She followed the direction of Hua Xiyan's departure and looked at her figure, thinking that Sun Muyang had better not let her down, and had something that should not be there, the more she thought about it, the more anxious she was in her heart, and the movements under her feet couldn't help but be a little faster.

After looking for two laps, he didn't see the shadows of Hua Xiyan and Sun Muyang, Zhao Qingru was already panting, and was thinking about whether he was thinking too much, when he suddenly saw a figure flashing in front of him, and the speed was extremely fast. But she still recognized it as Huaxi Yan.

Which of the women tonight is not dressed up in silk and satin, and Hua Xiyan's plain clothes are really conspicuous. Thinking of this, Zhao Qingru hurriedly lifted her skirt and followed.

Hua Xiyan hurriedly entered a room, Zhao Qingru was standing outside the room, and was about to listen to something, but the door in front of her suddenly opened, and she was dragged into the house by a force.

Suddenly, Zhao Qingru stepped on the hem of her skirt and fell to the ground, the three souls and seven spirits were almost knocked out, and when she came back to her senses, the room was empty, where was there half a figure?
