Chapter Eighty-Four: The Escape Plan
"Chasing the wind and bringing chess! Why don't your subordinates play chess with their masters? Lei Zhu suddenly thought.
"Okay, go get it," said King Chen, "but I see that their house is already dark, and I guess they are asleep." Be gentle, don't wake him up. ”
"The subordinates should knock on the door seriously, otherwise chasing the wind and stabbing with a sword, with the speed of his shot, the subordinates may not be able to dodge."
King Chen smiled: "It's okay, if you die because of this, it's not worth it." ”
In this way, the sins of the little woman were even heavier......
Ay......
Hurriedly shook his head and threw out the thoughts in his heart. What's going on? Why are three sentences inseparable from her thoughts?
was thinking about wanting to stop thinking about her, but suddenly her curled legs and nodding seriously with her hands on her cheeks suddenly appeared in her mind, and she laughed out loud with a "poof".
Zhuo Jiu was already frightened. Your Highness, what's the matter? Why was he still sad a moment ago, but he suddenly laughed at this moment?
"Master, you ...... Are you alright? Zhuo Jiu asked tentatively.
"Ahem...... King Chen straightened his face and said seriously: "It's okay." ”
"Oh, that's good......" But after Zhuo Jiu answered this, he didn't open which pot to mention, "Master, then why did you suddenly have a sad face and suddenly smile again?" ”
King Chen raised his eyes, looked at him, and asked in a warning tone, "Is it?" Can you see clearly? ”
Seeing such intimidation from his master, how could Zhuo Jiu dare to say that he could see clearly? I had to shake my head and say, "No." It was the negligence of the minions. The master is here, but the slave is watching just now...... Look at this crack in the ground and think nonsense. ”
"Well, that's good." King Chen.
Zhuo Jiu really wiped a cold sweat.
Lei Zhu took the chess pieces from the Wind Chasing House, and Zhuo Jiu wiped the table and set up the chessboard and chess pieces. Feeling that playing chess was the most time-consuming, and he couldn't run out of snacks beside him, he took the silver, went outside to call the boy, and asked him to let the kitchen cook some small dishes.
In a lower room at the innermost corner of this building, a person dressed in the shape of a river and lake was lying on the crack in the door and looking out. After looking at it for a long time, he turned around and said, "Brother Kun, King Chen is in the room of his personal entourage. That guy looks like a practitioner. And I saw that the attendant had taken a chess piece from the next room, and it seemed that he was going to play chess. Won't it take an hour or two to get up now? Can you do it tonight? ”
As he spoke, he walked back to the round table from the door and sat down, complaining, "Why did you send the two of us when you said you were going to act together?" What do you say that you are afraid of startling the snake, and what do you say that there are not enough rooms in the inn, it's not that the two of us are honest and easy to bully! Now the people who live in this inn are all people with real skills, if they can't quietly succeed and alarm them, don't arrest us and send the official to the official? ”
The middle-aged man named Brother Kun sat cross-legged on the bed with a sword in his hand, looking like he was ready to strike at any time. But after listening to the young man's words, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was cautiously thinking about something......
After a while, he said: "I heard that those literati played chess, and sometimes, a game of chess was played for a day and a night. If they play chess all night, will we stay all night? And the original plan was to go to King Chen's house, and he must make the illusion of murder for money. If King Kechen goes back in the middle of the night, let's follow, he will naturally be awake at that time, and it will not be easy to start. ”
"And if we wait for King Chen to return to the room and sleep soundly before we do it, it is estimated that the sky will be almost dawn. If it is discovered by those who get up to practice on the fourth watch, we still won't be able to get it...... So, it looks like it's not going to work tonight. ”
"That's right," said the young man, "they played chess all night, and we couldn't find a chance." Inevitably startled the snake and broke the big thing, we chose the safest way and did not move for the time being. ”
The middle-aged man said: "Yes, they played chess all night, but there are testimonies from the hall." Didn't the runner let the kitchen cook for them? Even if Hong Wu didn't believe it and tried to ask it himself, they couldn't ask why. ”
The two looked at each other and smiled...... It's not that they don't want to do it, it's that they can't do it. In case something goes wrong, startles the snake, and blames them, they may be worse than being caught and sent to the government!
I thought that King Chen was not there, and I would finally be able to sleep peacefully. But he didn't want to lie on the bed, and suddenly there was no steady breathing sound of this person beside him, and he felt very panicked in his heart, and he couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning.
When I fell asleep, it was already the middle of the night. But as soon as he fell asleep, he heard a knock at the door. Rong Yunxi raised his vigilance and held the dagger that he had specially brought before setting off and was hidden under the pillow.
I heard that the footsteps were somewhat familiar, and they were the footsteps of King Chen. Only then did Rong Yunxi let go of the dagger, covered the quilt, and wanted to continue to meet Zhou Gong.
King Chen walked to the bed, but he didn't take off his clothes and go to bed, but seemed to stop in front of the bed. In the middle of the night, Rong Yunxi heard a soft sigh.
If you are so reluctant to come back, why do you want to come back? Wouldn't it be better to go directly to Lu Caixi's room?
Rong Yunxi thought angrily.
As soon as this thought came out, I couldn't help but startle myself.
Anyway, he has been woken up, and there is no point in pretending to be asleep. Rong Yunxi got up and went to palm the lamp, without saying a word.
"I don't have to hold the lamp," said King Chen, "I only took off my clothes by the moonlight." ”
"Hmm." Rong Yunxi answered, but did not immediately go back to bed, but stood at the table, waiting for King Chen to finish undressing.
Seeing that King Chen went to the bed and lay down, Rong Yunxi pulled the quilt and went to bed.
Probably because he came back late at night and was sleepy, King Chen was very quiet, and there was no other word except to tell her that she didn't have to hold the lamp. He didn't say where he had gone so late, nor did he ask her if she had been woken up or had not fallen asleep......
Thinking so crankily, he soon became sleepy again and fell asleep.
Hearing the steady breathing of the little woman beside him, King Chen couldn't sleep. Turning to look at her, I didn't know what I was thinking...... Just looking at it, my eyes closed. When I woke up, it was already early the next morning.
King Chen stretched and saw that Rong Yunxi was not in the room.
"Wanxi...... ...... "stood at the door and shouted twice, and saw her coming upstairs with a basin of water."
She was wearing a man's dress that Lei Stop bought yesterday, dressed as a son-in-law, and she was handsome. It's just that the action of holding the basin of water doesn't match this outfit too much.
"You're up early." King Chen said with a smile.
Seeing that he was back to normal, Rong Yunxi naturally didn't care too much about his attitude last night. He smiled as usual, and did not say anything in response.
"I went to Lei to stop playing chess last night, this guy's chess skills, I don't know when there was such an improvement, and it took almost two hours to determine the winner." King Chen explained.
It means that I went to look for Lei Stop, but I didn't go to Lu Caixi's room, nor did I go to the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion to look for flowers and ask willows.
But Rong Yunxi didn't realize what he meant, and just smiled lightly: "In this way, the young master has to find a kung fu to make up for his sleep today." ”
King Chen suddenly realized that his explanation was wrong, and felt that something was wrong, so he didn't say anything more.
"Is the plan still going on as usual?" Rong Yunxi didn't notice the change in King Chen's mood, and said while handing him the handkerchief.
"Of course...... By the way, you have to leave some silver tickets for me, otherwise the next few days will be a bad time. I guess we'll have to make a living as an artist. King Chen wiped his face and said.
Rong Yunxi put aside the water for gargling and let King Chen take it himself, so he went to the baggage to get a silver ticket for King Chen.
He gave most of the silver tickets to King Chen, and left some cash for King Chen, and only brought a small part with him and put it in the money bag around his waist.
After cleaning up early in the morning, seeing that King Chen had also cleaned up, Rong Yunxi went out and asked them to go downstairs for breakfast together in early summer.
King Chen followed behind her, looking at the little woman dressed as a child. The thought of being separated from her for many days made me feel a little reluctant.
Shaking his head, he patted his head. Keeping up with Rong Yunxi, she whispered a laugh in her ear: "In the next few days, there will be no husband and bridesmaids around to sleep, will the lady have insomnia?" ”
Rong Yunxi glanced at him and said lightly: "No." ”
I always felt that the atmosphere between them was a little strange. Although she didn't want to care about his attitude last night, since last night's sudden coldness, they seemed to be estranged from each other. Rong Yunxi felt that this was not his own delusion, but the attitude of King Chen.
To be honest, with this estranged contrast, Rong Yunxi realized...... She could feel it when his heart was near, and she could feel it when his heart was far away.
So it is undeniable that before, their hearts were indeed very close.
King Chen followed Rong Yunxi, who was walking downstairs quickly, and still whispered in her ear: "Don't say it too absolutely, you haven't tried it yet, how do you know that you won't miss me?" ”
Rong Yunxi smiled, and suddenly turned his head to meet his gaze.
Because she turned her head suddenly, so that the distance between the tips of the two lips could only put down one finger.
But Rong Yunxi didn't look flustered, but just asked with a smile: "Will Xianggong miss me?" ”
"Of course." King Chen straightened up, kept a safe distance from her, and smiled.
"I haven't tried it yet, the concubine persuades the young master not to say it too absolutely." Rong Yunxi smiled faintly and saluted him back.
With that, without waiting for him to catch up, he went downstairs and sat down at a round table against the stairs.
Rong Yunxi didn't deliberately sit in this place where she could see the whole situation downstairs, but after sitting down, she found that the position she was sitting with her back against the stairs just happened to have a clear view of everything in the lobby.
King Chen sat beside her, and whispered in her ear, "You can pick a place...... Don't be afraid, this king's people are measured. ”
Rong Yunxi smiled, thinking to herself, where am I scared?
