Seventh: Clouds and sideburns
[In the new book list, 99 is already lagging behind, and I urgently need the support of red votes from dear people, and it doesn't matter if you have black votes for opinions on this book. Anyway, please support me. ^_^】
The imperial garden was built at the beginning, with the Qin'an Hall as the center, and the pavilions and pavilions were sparse and dense, and there were countless of them. The strange stones in the garden are Luobu, the trees are verdant, and the paths are all paved with pebbles, forming a variety of exquisite patterns, which are quite pleasing to the eye. Along the way, the flowers are like brocade, the splendid is bright, and when you get closer, it looks like a beautiful cloud brocade, and the door is embroidered with all kinds of makeup flowers, bright as the sunshine; When it is far away, it is like a beautiful picture scroll, the clouds are full of clouds, the mountains are rolling up, and they are jumping on the paper, which is particularly moving.
The two walked through the delicate and beautiful Wanchun Pavilion, stepped on the Bibo Bridge, and came to the top of the Fubi Pavilion. Fubi Pavilion is built by the water, spanning the Taiye Pond, and the Chengrui Pavilion is opposite to the east and west.
The north of Fubi Pavilion is facing the algae hall built against the wall of the garden, and the pavilion is out of the hugging building. Hug the building is open on three sides. The whole body of the pavilion is built of blue glazed tiles, and the spire is equipped with a glazed treasure roof, and the blue smoke waves pour down. In the ceiling of the square pavilion, there are double dragons playing with pearls in the eight directions caisson well, surrounded by a hundred flower pattern ceiling, the Soviet-style color painting under the eaves, golden and brilliant, beautiful.
Jian Huaizhen stood in the pavilion, looking into the distance, the shore of the Taiye Pond Zhi Tinglan, the smoke and waves were vast, looking from a distance, the clouds were steaming, the scales were light, like a freehand and high-spirited splash ink painting. It's just that Jian Wenying said that Jiantai, Yingzhou, Penglai, Abbot, Yunzhou, Minghe Zhou, Rongxing Zhou, Qingkuangzhou, Cailing Zhou, and Yue Nuzhou didn't see anything. The Imperial Garden is still under renovation and is inaccessible, with only a few craftsmen working in the distance.
Jian Wenying was dumbfounded, and said with some embarrassment: "I don't know why this is happening." When Grandpa Lin told me, it was beautiful, as if he had seen it with his own eyes. I thought it was so good-looking, so I asked you to come with me, but I didn't expect ......." he continued with a wry smile: "The Taiye Pond has just become large, and there is nothing else except for the different swimming fish in this pool. ”
The warm wind, mixed with the slightest heat wave, blew from the lush bamboo forests on both sides, even if it was at the water's edge, but it was not half a point of coolness. Jian Huaizhen's heart was lightly cold, his eyebrows were shrouded in cold smoke, and he said solemnly: "Brother, there is no need to say anything now. Let's go back first. After saying that, he took his hand and prepared to move forward.
Suddenly, there was a sudden sound in the verdant bamboo forest, and then a black figure flashed away. Seeing this, Jian Wenying shouted, "There are assassins!" After saying that, he pulled his legs and wanted to chase after him.
Jian Huaizhen was very anxious, and he was about to hold him, but he had already turned around and said to her: "Sister, you wait for me here first, don't go anywhere." If someone hurts you, you will run for your life with light skills and hit him with plum blossom needles. I went to see who the assassin was, daring to run around the palace in broad daylight! After saying that, he turned around and ran after him. As he spoke, the black shadow suddenly reappeared, poking his head out in the bamboo forest with a thin dragon and a phoenix tail, staring at Jian Wenying's brothers and sisters.
Jian Wenying was furious and chased the man in black away. Jian Huaizhen wanted to stop him, but he couldn't. She understands her brother's temperament, and as long as he wants to do something, he can't pull it back. It's just that today's incident made Jian Huaizhen worried, and starting from the beginning was like falling into a trap set by someone else. How can there be a real assassin, dressed in black in broad daylight, attracting attention? The Assassin seemed to have come for a brother and sister.
Jian Huaizhen was helpless, so he had to stand on the Fubi Pavilion and wait for Jian Wenying to come back. She stood in the pavilion, her long hair flowing, her skirt flowing, fluttering like a frightening dragon, and she looked like a woman in a picture.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of small footsteps approaching her. Listening to the voice, that person's martial arts have already turned into a realm, and his light skills are also first-class. If she hadn't followed Long Yuping and Chu Liuyan to learn immortal light skills, she wouldn't have been able to find that person. She felt a chill in her heart, and she had already guessed what was about to happen. She held the plum blossom needle of the thin gnats in her hand, and there was a shallow smile on her face, as if nothing had happened.
She was hesitant. She didn't know what kind of thoughts the people behind her had, whether they wanted to deal with her, or just wanted to spy on her strength. In a flash, the man had come behind her. She made up her mind. Unless this man put her to death, she would not be silent.
A pair of hands quickly wrapped around her delicate white jade neck. Slowly pinched down. She groaned softly, lowered her head, and her eyes touched a pair of hands as pale as white jade. That person exudes a unique and elegant atmosphere, which makes people feel intoxicated. It's just that at this moment, this is the breath that kills her.
Jian Huaizhen struggled silently, but she could not break free from the man's embrace. He was working hard little by little, and he seemed to be very entangled in his heart. Jian Huaizhen coughed a few times, and then couldn't cough it out anymore. Two new tears dripped from her eyes and fell on the man's white and vigorous hands, like two bright pearls, which made the man's eyes hurt.
He seemed to hesitate for a moment, and the strength in his hand decreased by a few points. Jian Huaizhen pushed him back with his elbow, but he still didn't move. She was a little weak, and her heart was shocked: this person seemed to want her own life! So far, I can only do my best. Otherwise, next year and today, I am afraid it will be my own sacrifice of death.
Her eyes suddenly became cold and awe-inspiring, and she raised her wrist to prepare to take out the plum blossom needle that had been fed with poison. Most of her plum blossom needles are not poisonous, but there are a few that are highly poisonous. Long Yuping once told her that Chu Liuyan and Xu Da were chased and killed by Chen Youliang's people, and Chu Liuyan saved their lives with a plum blossom needle that fed poison. As the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to prevent people. Therefore, on some of her plum blossom needles, she deliberately quenched them with poison, which was enough to kill people with one shot.
If Jian Huaizhen wants to kill the person behind him, he must take his life with a needle. If there is a slight mistake and let him escape, then Concubine Ru will have the opportunity to know that she has martial arts, and her jealousy will become deeper and deeper.
At this moment, the cold light was awe-inspiring, and a Qingfeng sword slashed at the person behind Jian Huaizhen. The sword intent is cold to the bones, like a jade cold, teaching people to be cold all over the body.
The person behind him had to let go of the hands that were holding Jian Huaizhen's neck and dodge the sword. Jian Huaizhen held his chest, bent over and coughed a few times, and stood leaning on the white jade railing, his posture was delicate and weak, lazy and moving.
The man with the sword and the murderer looked up, and they were both stunned, and then the two fought together. The person holding the sword, dressed in green clothes and light ink, with a long sword like a rainbow, a sword as fast as electricity, and excellent skills, he exuded an awe-inspiring cold air all over his body, even if he was masked, Jian Huaizhen also recognized him at a glance as his guest in a green shirt.
The man who wanted to kill him and her was dressed in a black night robe, covered with a black cloth, and even his hair was covered. He's not weak. Although he didn't have a weapon in his hand, he hastily took the sorrowful blue hairpin from Jian Huaizhen's head and fought against Fang Xiao, but he was not at a disadvantage at all. He is agile, his movements are elegant, and his gestures are the style of a general, and he shows the true character of a master when he advances and retreats.
"Who is it?" From afar, I heard someone shouting loudly, presumably because their fighting was too violent, which alarmed the Royal Foresters.
Jian Huaizhen gasped for a moment, she combed her messy hair, took a green smoke from her sleeve and held it in her hand, and the other party said, "Young man in green shirts, let's go!" When the man heard her call "boy in green shirt", he seemed to be slightly stunned and raised his eyes to look at her. Fang Xiao took this opportunity and slashed his shoulder with a sword, blood gushing out.
Jian Huaizhen stretched out his hand, Fang Yu grabbed her hand, and pulled her to run in the direction of the north Zaotang. The man ignored the wound on his shoulder and chased after him again. Jian Huaizhen raised his hand and threw out the green smoke bomb in his hand, and there was a sudden smoke in front of the man, and he had to take two steps back, watching Fang Xiao pull Jian Huaizhen away.
Jian Huaizhen had just been injured, and he couldn't perform light skills, so he ran delicately. Wheezing. There were shouts from behind, and there were already chasing soldiers. Fang Yu glanced at her, suddenly picked her up sideways, and walked forward with light strides. Jian Huaizhen was coldly held in the arms of a strange man, only to feel that his cold breath was like a heat wave, and his heart was pounding. It's just that this feeling only lasted for a while, and she immediately realized that she shouldn't think too much. The children of the rivers and lakes were originally informal, but now it is a critical juncture to flee for their lives, and it is understandable for Fang Xiao to do so.
Fang Xiao's hand was also trembling slightly, and his heart was beating wildly, as if he was about to jump out of his chest. In the past 20 years, he has been bent on doing one thing, that is, to avenge his dead relatives, for which he has studied martial arts hard, pure heart and few desires, he thought that his heart had already stopped like water, mud and dust, but who knew but still moved.
The man in black cut through the smoke, looked over from the Taiye Pool, and saw Jian Huaizhen being held in the arms of the man in Tsing Yi from a distance. Although they are only separated by a bridge, they seem to be far, far away from themselves, as far away as the past and present lives, out of reach. His eyes became extremely complicated in an instant, with both fierce murderous intent, continuous remorse, and ...... Many, many, indescribable things.
At this time, someone had already arrived with a large group of royal guards, and the smoke in front of him had slowly dissipated, and the two people had disappeared in the dappled light and shadow. He sighed, turned around and plunged into the blue bamboo forest, and disappeared in an instant.
"There are assassins! There was an Assassin ...... "The Imperial Garden was filled with shouts and shouts.
Fang Yu hugged Jian Huaizhen and came to the front of the Zao Hall. In front of the Zao Hall, there is a Nanmu plaque with a golden dragon pattern sitting at the bottom, and the plaque is written with the four words "Zao Shuhua", and a couplet is hung on both sides, which is the business of "the court winds around the carpet; There is a Yun weaving knot Gu Huan", the font is elegant and beautiful.
If it was usual, Jian Huaizhen would definitely appreciate it, but now at a critical juncture, he shouldn't think about it. Her face turned crimson, and she said softly, "Young Master Fang, you let me down first." ”
Fang Xiao was slightly stunned, an unnatural look appeared on his face, fortunately he was covered by a face towel and couldn't be seen by Jian Huaizhen, he answered and put Jian Huaizhen down gently.
Jian Huaizhen pondered for a moment, his eyes were like water: "Young Master Fang, let's go southwest, there is a pile of embroidery mountains, we will hide there for the time being, and it will not be easily discovered." ”
Fang Yu hesitated a little, he raised his eyes and asked, "Miss Jian, you are not from the rivers and lakes, how can there be green smoke to cover the sun?" ”
Jian Huaizhen's eyes were faint, and he said, "This was given to me by the female crown who saved me at the beginning." She taught me to use it to defend myself against danger in the future. When I saw you recently, I missed her very much, so I deliberately brought this green smoke bomb with me to remember the old days, and who knew that it would come in handy today. ”
Fang Xiao nodded slightly, returned the sword into the sheath, Jian Huaizhen grabbed the corner of her skirt, and walked around, Fang Xiao followed her, and walked towards Duxiu Mountain.
Duixiu Mountain is an artificial rockery made of Taihu Lake stone, located in the northeast side behind the Qin'an Palace, backed by the tall palace wall, standing in the air, the strange stone is craggy, the rock is steep, look at it, like a long dragon with a different posture coiled on the side of the Taiye Pool, the fish in the water are playing, and they are content; Pines, cypresses, flowers, vines and vines are all over the mountains.
Jian Huaizhen looked around, and saw that next to the stone carving dragon spraying water, there was an artificial cave covered by vines, which was not easy for people to find, so he glanced at Fang Xiao and walked in. Fang Xiao pondered for a moment and walked in. The cave is half a person high and one meter wide, but when you walk in, it suddenly opens up and can accommodate more than a dozen people. The stalactites in the cave are all over, the posture is very different, and there is sunlight leaking in, reflecting the colorful colors in the cave.
Jian Huaizhen searched for some vines, covered the entrance of the cave, and returned to the cave to find a clean stalactite and sat down. Fang Yu sat beside her, the scarf had been torn off, and it was still that expressionless face, still the pair of cold eyes.
Jian Huaizhen sat there quietly, like a bright sunset flower. The two of them sat quietly like this, I don't know how long it was.
There was a commotion outside, and the noise faded away, and the cave was quiet again. Jian Huaizhen stroked the slightly messy hair, but there was a faint look of temptation in his eyes: "Fang Shaoxia, aren't you in the mansion?" How did you suddenly appear in the Imperial Garden? ”
His eyes were still so indifferent, even a little dark, he said: "I heard that the Forbidden City is as beautiful as a fairyland, and its name is important in the world, so I just come in and take a look." ”
Jian Huaizhen was sad that the jade hairpin was pulled out by the person who wanted to kill her, and there was only a circle of light yellow flowers left on her head. She plucked the flowers, straightened her hair again, and re-inlaid them one by one.
Fang rarely saw that her long hair was like smoke and light mist, and the autumn water was a divine jade and a bone, and she was beautiful, so she couldn't help but take a few more looks. Jian Huaizhen was slightly embarrassed, and explained with a smile: "When I go back in a while, if someone finds that my hair is messy, won't I suspect today's events?" ”
Fang Xiao nodded "yes", secretly admiring her for being as careful as dust.
