Chapter 10 Plans
Ji Yueqin accompanied Xiaoyu to watch the performance of the dancing girl, but she was absent-mindedly thinking about the situation when the shadow infiltrated the Zhizhou Mansion and was also planning what to do next. She looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky, and her thoughts drifted into the distance, she longed for her family and her brother to be safe.
When the shadow arrived at Ji Yueqin's side, he looked at her and revealed a deep sense of sadness, which added a bit of coolness. But there was no luster in her eyes, more despair and desolation. The Shadow knew that the girl in front of her, despite her young age, had been through enough to make her heart scarf. There is nothing more uncomfortable than the tragic death of a loved one in front of one's own eyes and the fact that there is nothing you can do to change it.
The shadow couldn't bear to disturb the girl in front of her, and was afraid that she would lose herself in this whirlpool of sorrow, so she called softly, "It's the shadow." How's it going? ”
Hearing Ji Yueqin's voice, Xiao Yu looked over here, and was really startled to find that the shadow appeared beside them silently, but she also knew that Ji Yueqin and the shadow were talking about serious things, so she didn't bother.
The shadow thought of the situation in the Zhizhou Mansion and said, "Tell the county lord, after the Zhizhou Mansion sneaked in, his subordinates found that the house next door to the Zhizhou Mansion lived in Li Qiang, the adjutant of Lu Qinzong, I'm afraid he came here for your whereabouts." ”
The shadow said that something was wrong near the Zhizhou Mansion, and Ji Yueqin knew in her heart that the main control of chasing the thief was not in the Zhizhou Mansion, but in the hands of this adjutant Li Qiang. But Ji Yueqin and his party went out of the city, and it was enough to rely on the token of the Zhizhou Mansion. But looking at the shadow, he shouldn't have gotten the token of the governor's mansion.
"You don't think you got the token." Ji Yueqin thought that this Zhizhou really carried the token with him, and it was no wonder that the shadow had returned in vain.
The shadow nodded and said: "The token is really carried with me, and my subordinates originally wanted to directly stun that Zhizhou and take the token away, but I saw that Zhizhou following a man, and that man's martial arts were not inferior to his subordinates." Therefore, the subordinates are not completely sure to go. ”
Ji Yueqin listened to it, and also felt that it was tricky, the shadow was their best person, but there was still no certain gap with the man, if the shadow really started, then it would be even more difficult for Ji Yueqin to leave Jinshui City.
But God also seemed to have a little favor for Ji Yueqin, and the shadow continued to finish: "That man's identity seems to be unusual, and that Zhizhou said that he wanted to charter the Man Dance Workshop to perform during the Lantern Festival in order to please the man. ”
Ji Yueqin's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she also had a plan in her heart. So Ji Yueqin sent a maid to invite Wan Niang up. After Wan Niang came up, she listened to what the shadow said, and saw that Ji Yueqin wanted to discuss the plan with her, so she went to her house to discuss it.
When they reached the house, they let the two maids stand at the door and watch carefully, and then closed the door and began to talk in the room.
The Shadow repeated what she had just said to Wan Niang, and Wan Niang frowned when she heard it: "The Lantern Festival is in three days, and that is the best time for the Lord of Yueqin to leave, but it is difficult to say that this is not their trap. ”
The Shadow was silent, as if pondering what to do.
"The Lantern Festival in three days will be very lively, and we will definitely increase the intensity of patrols, and we can't go rashly." Ji Yueqin said loudly.
"They invite the Man Dance Workshop over, then we have a chance to get the token, that Zhizhou is also a regular visitor to the Man Dance Workshop, and should be a little more nervous about us." Wan Niang recalled for a while and said.
"That Zhizhou asked me to drink with him every time I finished dancing, saying that he was drinking and didn't want to take advantage of me." Zi Rui mentioned that Zhizhou, and there was a bit of disdain and disdain in her eyes and tone. But after thinking about it, he said: "Since this Zhizhou loves my appearance, then I have no choice but to sell my hue to steal this token." ”
As soon as Wan Niang heard Zi Rui's glance, she wanted to stop it, because they were like sisters, and she couldn't bear to watch Zi Rui being violated by that lustful Zhizhou. But in order for the county lord to leave Jinshui City smoothly, it is not good to say anything more.
So Zirui said to the shadow: "Brother Shadow, I will leave with you after I get the token on the day of the Lantern Festival, you lead the man away, and then the county lord and Xiaoyu will wait for us in the carriage, and we will quickly leave Jinshui City." ”
Wan Niang listened to Zirui's words and felt that it was somewhat feasible, so she nodded.
Ji Yueqin frowned when she heard this, they seemed to think that these were too simple, recalling the inquiring eyes of the man who came to Ji Yueqin that day, they knew that this was not an easy solution. And Ji Yueqin is not a master who sits idly by, she knows that if she wants to protect herself in the whirlpool of great changes, she needs to control the initiative.
So Ji Yueqin said, "No." I can't sit still, I'm going with you. ”
Before Ji Yueqin could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Wan Niang: "No, we can't let the county lord put himself in danger, you have to leave safely." ”
Ji Yueqin looked at Wan Niang unswervingly and said, "No, that man has seen my appearance after my disguise, if I don't go, he will be suspicious." This is our only chance, and I can't do nothing. ”
Xiao Yu saw that Ji Yueqin was going, so he also wanted to join in, but Ji Yueqin flatly refused: "Sister Xiao Yu, your life was saved by you, I can't let you have an accident." And, since it was said that you were sick that day, you stayed in the carriage and waited for us to come back. Xiao Yu listened to Ji Yueqin's words, and agreed with a look of shame.
When the shadow heard that Ji Yueqin was going, he hurriedly stopped him: "No, I must not let the county lord have an accident!" ”
Ji Yueqin also knew what the shadow and the girl were worried about, and said firmly: "Release, I'll be fine." You believe me. ”
Seeing that Ji Yueqin was so determined, Shadow and Wan Niang knew that no matter what the two of them said, they couldn't change Ji Yueqin's mind, so they had no choice but to respond to Ji Yueqin's words.
After Ji Yueqin and the others finished discussing the plan, they just had to wait quietly for the Lantern Festival to come.
......
Early the next morning, before the Man Dance Workshop opened, Jubaozhuang sent someone to book the day of the Man Dance Workshop Lantern Festival, please go to the Zhizhou Mansion to have a good performance. Wan Niang smiled and accepted the silver, and sent the future away, and the plan began.
Ji Yueqin got up early to practice the dance she was going to dance in the Zhizhou Mansion that day, and when Xiaoyu saw Ji Yueqin dancing, she also wanted to learn together. The small fish always makes the wrong move when its limbs are stiff, otherwise it is a wrestling and making itself blue and purple. However, Ji Yueqin's dancing posture was amazing, and she only saw Zirui learn the essence of this dance after dancing it over and over again. I saw Ji Yueqin's sleeves flicking lightly to lead the butterfly dance, and the beginning of the slow twisting of the slender waist attracted everyone's attention.
Ji Yueqin finished dancing under everyone's watching, she stood and gasped softly, with a layer of fine and dense beads of sweat on her forehead, this look was like a fairy out of the dust, with the unique temperament of the blue valley and stood quietly.
Xiao Yu applauded Ji Yueqin excitedly: "Sister Qin is really amazing!" You dance so beautifully, it's like a fairy descending to earth. I'm also going to try to learn how to dance so that I can dance as well as you in the future. ”
Ji Yueqin looked at her with a smile and said, "That sister Xiaoyu has to work harder, but you have to be careful on your body," she said looking at the traces on Xiaoyu's body.
Seeing that Ji Yueqin's talent is so high, Wan Niang also understands that Ji Yueqin has very good dancing skills, and she also knows that a seven or eight-year-old girl can dance so well, and when she grows up, I don't know how many people will fall under her Luo skirt. It's just that Ji Yueqin is like this, so she has no reason to prevent Ji Yueqin from participating in the plan.
In the past two days, Xiaoyu has followed behind Ji Yueqin and imitated Ji Yueqin to dance, although she has only learned two or three layers, she has been praised by Wan Niang, and Xiaoyu also has the talent to learn dance. When Xiao Yu heard this, he was even more aggressive.
......
The Lantern Festival is an annual festival in Daliang, which is a festival to celebrate the harvest of one year and pray for the next year's good weather and harvest again. On this day, everyone got up early to prepare lotus lanterns, and decorated the streets and alleys with colorful ribbons and flowers, which was particularly lively.
The Lantern Festival will officially start at dusk, and that time is also the most lively time of the Lantern Festival, people will gather at the river to put the lotus lantern in their hands into the river, and use the stick in their hands to push the lantern to the center of the river, so that the lantern can float farther, has been favored by the river god, and the coming year will be smooth.
This year's Lantern Festival gradually kicked off with the arrival of dusk, and the crowd on the street gradually increased, and it seemed that it was not affected by the martial law in the city, but as Ji Yueqin said, there were more soldiers on patrol. Although the soldiers walked on the busy streets, they still couldn't stop people's enthusiasm for the Lantern Festival.
And Ji Yueqin and his entourage rushed towards the Zhizhou Mansion.
......
The Zhizhou Mansion was also preparing for the banquet in full swing, and after Ji Yueqin and the others arrived, they parked the carriage at the back door, and Xiaoyu hid in the carriage and waited for Ji Yueqin and them to get the token. Ji Yueqin and his entourage were arranged to go into the prepared room to change their clothes and put on their makeup.
The banquet has begun, and the first batch of dancers from the Man Dance Workshop have already gone to the front hall to cheer up the banquet, and Ji Yueqin, as the last group of dancers, is the finale, with the purpose of giving them a "surprise". And if you steal the token at the beginning, you may be found out about their departure halfway, and you won't be able to leave Jinshui City smoothly. So Ji Yueqin was not in a hurry, just quietly waiting for her appearance.
A good show is about to begin.
