Chapter 82: Strangers at Last (Part I)
A group of dark shadows slowly walked out of the woods, and the afterglow of the stars was scattered on the ground.
Purple plainclothes, black and brown soft armor, more than a dozen people are in the same step, without expression.
They are like a well-trained army, no, they must be army people.
I don't know where the notice came from, and there was no threat on their faces, and I loosened the strength of my dagger.
One of them came up and knelt on the ground three paces away.
"The subordinates are late, please punish the lord."
His words were said by Chongbei Yu Jinchen, neither humble nor arrogant, sonorous and powerful.
The palace guards should never be like this, this sentence is also quite suspicious, he said that please punish the lord, not ask the prince to forgive the sin, this "lord" should be the meaning of the master.
After thinking about it in my head, the answer gradually became clear.
They are...... Dead in the Cold Sun!
"Is there any movement in the palace?" Beiyu Jinchen didn't let him get up, and turned to something else, and his tone was awe-inspiring.
The Hanyang Dead Man clenched his fists and replied: "The emperor has sent a large number of people to find the Lord, and." He looked up at me hesitantly for a moment, then continued, "Also, a girl. ”
My heart sank, and I suddenly remembered the gray eyes of Beiyu Liangyi.
"How many of you are coming out this time?" Beiyu Jinchen unconsciously turned the white jade wrench, every time he made this action, it was time for him to make a calculation in his heart.
"There are only fifteen people, and they have never been alarmed to reveal their whereabouts."
For a long time, Beiyu Jinchen's gaze stayed behind the man.
"Get up, and the past is not to blame."
They got up and sat around the fire as we did.
When there are more people, it will feel warmer.
I flipped over the fire with a stick, and the golden orange sparks flew like fireflies and melted into the endless night.
They all sat quietly, their backs straight, their knives motionless.
The original little tiredness disappeared, and there was nothing but a sense of loneliness.
I put my burden under my head and slept in my clothes.
Even though his eyes are closed, the slightest movement around him can be clearly heard.
When the day dawns, he will be Prince Xuan, and I will still be Liu Sujin.
"Lord." One of them deliberately lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of alarming me. "There has been a change in the court."
I stayed in a sleeping position and listened quietly.
"The emperor wants to move the army, merge the military power of Zuo Xiang and General Ba In, and disarm another 20,000. His subordinates are really unknown, and it is said that the remnants of the former dynasty are ambushed among the people, but he wants to do the opposite. ”
Beiyu Jinchen chuckled and paused, and his voice was extremely low. "It's a wise move, disarmament is to streamline the troops, and the people who are laid off are those who don't do anything with their salaries, and this trick can really work."
His heart suddenly sank halfway, and Bei Yuliang also wanted to go to war, he wanted to take this opportunity to take back his real power and establish the emperor's authority. But our army is not capable of fighting at all, and the discipline is loose and the army is not established, which is undoubtedly the worst news.
And I can't go back to the pavilion for the time being, if I return to the palace this time, Bei Yuliang will definitely not let me come out again.
Grabbing the placket with his right hand, he felt his whole body restless.
I really couldn't let go of everything, and when I heard the news, I couldn't help but think about it, and devised a favorable plan to protect Liangxi.
Exhale softly, for fear of making them suspicious, and deliberately turn over lazily.
"Lord, Princess, she has always been worried about you, and she has been in tears almost every day. Why don't you send two people down the mountain first to inform the princess of your situation? He spoke with a cautious tentative tone.
I waited for a long time and didn't hear Beiyu Jinchen respond, except for the sound of the cold wind blowing mixed with the sound of firewood cracking.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, I heard him say, "No, since I have to go back tomorrow, it won't be too many hours." ”
The night is as cool as water, fleeting.
The next morning, the sky was blank and there was a sign of heavy snowfall.
We never talked again, and walked in silence all the way.
After descending the mountain, it was already evening, and thick ink-colored clouds blurred the sky.
They hired a carriage, and I shared one with Beiyu Jinchen.
His heart was in turmoil, and he repeatedly rubbed the jade bracelet on his wrist with his fingertips.
I don't know what I'm thinking in my heart, it's like a foggy day, gray.
"Have you thought about it? Do you really want to go back to the palace? His tone was flat, his eyes fixed on the distance outside the curtain.
I laughed self-deprecatingly and asked, "If I don't go back, where can I go?" ”
"You are the Young Pavilion Master."
"What about the pavilion master, it's really sad to live every day when others are calculating and calculating others."
If, if you're willing to drop everything, I'm willing to .......
He opened his mouth, but before he could say this, the carriage suddenly stopped suddenly.
"Lord, it's time for the palace."
