Chapter 172: Shen Jiantang
Yu Yu stood by the window and was distracted for half an hour. It wasn't until a gust of wind blew a little rain on her face that she shuddered, closed the window again, took a few steps back with her arms folded, and sat down on the chaise longue.
"Miss Lu."
Zhao He's call came from outside the door, and only after she answered did he push the door open, "Master, please come over for dinner." ”
"Got it." Yi Yu lowered his head and took out a handkerchief to wipe his little face wet with rain before following him to the study.
Lunch was placed in the middle of the room, and Yu Yu deliberately swept around the room and fell back to Li Tai, who was sitting at the back of the low desk, he changed into dark clothes, and did not see Yinxiao's figure.
Li Tai put down the soup bowl in his hand and said to her, "Sit." ”
The dishes and chopsticks on the table had been set, and Yi Yu sat down on the cushion with his back to the desk, and asked, "Your Highness, where is Yinxiao?" ”
In fact, what she really wanted to ask was why he suddenly asked Zhao He to take her away before.
"It's time to eat." Li Tai's simple answer showed that he didn't want to say more about the things that made her a little inexplicable just now.
Thereupon. Although Yi Yu thought in his heart that it was not in a proper state when he finally looked at Yinxiao, and the strange look on Zhao He's face, he didn't ask any further.
After eating a meal, compared to that time, Yi Yu was calm on the surface, but he was thinking about messy things in his heart, neither of them spoke much, one ate too much unconsciously, and the other simply ate something and went to wash up and lie back on the soft couch.
Yi Yu sat on the side of the desk and took the handkerchief handed by the maid and wiped his mouth, and the people on the side quickly removed the case with their hands and feet, and after a while, the two of them were left alone in the study.
Yi Yu looked sideways at Li Tai, who closed his eyes for a while, and wanted to ask him if he planned to take a lunch break, but also wanted to stay away from him and go back to his house to stay alone.
When he was hesitating, he heard his voice, "Go back to your room." ”
Without much thought, she replied, "Do you want to take a lunch break?" ”
Before she could regret her talking, she saw Li Tai turn her head to look at the half-open window, looking at the intermittent droplets of water on the eaves outside the window, "This king wants to be quiet." ”
Yu Yu didn't react until two breaths - she was kicked out?
Despite the sudden feeling of discomfort in her heart, she respectfully picked up the book at her feet, withdrew, and opened the door with a cold wind blowing her neck.
With the rustling sound of rain in her ears, she walked lightly to the stagnant water that had spread to the side of the corridor, looked down at the somewhat distorted reflection in the water, and closed her eyes for a long time. He patted his cheek lightly, and when he opened it again, the trace of confusion was gone.
Yi Yu, who strode towards the west of the small building, didn't know that after the door was closed, Li Tai, who was lying on the soft couch, stared at the half-open window and opened his mouth to say:
"When can you stop being so sneaky."
A chuckle came from the still rainy window, and then a white figure appeared by the half-open window, bent down and stepped on the window railing, and jumped in lightly.
The man looked to be in his twenties, the rain was rolling down the top of his hair and his face, he looked ordinary, his lips were smiling, his white clothes were already soaked, he had a short sword pinned to his waist, his messy hair was tied haphazardly behind his head, and the hem of his clothes was stained with a little black mud.
He reached out and wiped his face, then touched it in his half-open bosom and pulled out a folding fan. With a flick of his wrist, he opened it and fanned his wet face, not thinking that it was the beginning of winter.
"I said, your place is really hard to find, I came back yesterday, I was stunned to find a place after a day, and I was stopped by the little thing you put outside, and I was drenched in the rain."
Li Tai looked at the iron fan in his hand that flickered and reflected the faint light, and said, "What are you doing here?" ”
The man who was drenched like a chicken in soup instantly had a surprised expression on his face, and he glared at him and asked, "I said, don't bring it like this, it's obvious that you let people lure me to the capital, but I left Yao Buzhi and ran over, what a risk did I take to get rid of Honggu's people, in case I get poisoned, then who will help you do those things that steal chickens and dogs——"
"No, you have to compensate me. Yesterday morning, I arrived in the capital, and I touched the steamed buns in a steamed bun shop to eat, tsk, that tastes beautiful, but the cook is a little spicy, and I almost didn't use the hot drawer cage to burn my handsome face. ”
After he finished speaking, he groped in his arms for a while, took out a palm-sized brand, hung it on his hand and shook it, with a "Wei" character carved on it, "Hehe, I finally touched this thing as a souvenir, how about you send the cook to me." I'm missing someone in my house in Jiangnan who can make steamed buns. ”
Xu is used to seeing this person's faceless appearance, Li Tai is still lazily lying on the soft couch, his left leg slowly bent, "Help me do something, and I'll send you." ”
The man's face was bitter, and he said in frustration: "I guess it's not good for you to bring me to the capital, but who made me a cheap person, and I came to look for you in a hurry, you say, what's the matter." ”
Li Tai was indifferent to the pitiful look on his face, his lips were closed one by one, and he did not make a sound, but it made the faces of the people standing under the window suddenly change.
"No, no, no! That's okay, don't you think I'm dying fast enough, there are more masters in Ouchi than at the Dongting Lake rally, I won't go! ”
This simple refusal did not make Li Tai angry, he raised his eyebrows slightly, stretched out his right hand and pointed at the desk, "There is a box at the bottom of the table, you go and get it." ”
The man walked to the edge of the desk with some suspicion, reached to the bottom of the table and wiped it, and when he stretched it out again, there was already a palm-sized locket in his hand.
"Open."
He frowned and glanced at Li Tai. After opening the box in his hand, and seeing a fresh and green wine glass-shaped pendant quietly placed on the bottom of the silk, the man who understood the meaning of this jade ornament showed an unconcealable joy in his eyes, swallowed his saliva, and turned his head to Li Taidao:
"W-This for me?"
Li Tai glanced at him and spit out two words: "Reward." ”
The implication is that he only took it when he did something, and of course the man understood it, and after a wave in his heart, he gritted his teeth. Hard Channel:
"Count you ruthless."
Li Tai ignored him anymore, turned his head to look at the drizzling rain outside the window, but this man had no intention of leaving, took the box into his arms, walked to the velvet blanket on the edge of the soft couch and sat down, and let the water stains on his body soak the expensive carpet.
"Tell me, what's the matter with the smell of blood on your body, it's really rare to see you injured, haha!"
“......”
"That little girl just now is the one who can detoxify you," touching his chin, he smashed his mouth, and continued: "I said, if I let Honggu know that there is a person who can cure Yao's poison art, it will be terrible, maybe one day I will be sent to arrest her back, haha!" ”
"Get out."
"Okay, if I don't say it, it's not possible, you let me take shelter from the rain here for a while, okay?"
“......”
Because of the man who entered in the rain, the air in the study was more muddy and mixed with the smell of grass, he put one arm on the edge of the soft couch, his chin rested on it, and the other hand delicately turned the iron fan between his fingers, and looked sideways like a person on the soft couch, looking out the window at the rain that gradually stopped.
After a short silence in the room, I heard the slightly noisy male voice say, "The rain has stopped... Then I'll leave, don't worry, what I promised you will be done, by the way, those three little things that were knocked out by me, don't punish others, after all, it's raining for half a day, and don't think too much about me when I'm gone. ”
“......”
The man got up and stuffed the iron fan in his hand back into his arms, walked to the window in two steps, and looked back at the handsome young man who had closed his eyes. After a sigh that was not light or heavy, he stepped on the window rail, turned over and walked out of the house with a light movement, and disappeared into the rain.
After taking him away for a quarter of an hour, Zhao Hecai, who was drenched, knocked on the door and walked in, kneeling down on one knee with a bitter face: "The subordinates are not doing well, so let Shen Jiantang break in." ”
Li Tai put one hand on the damp part of the soft couch, "You are not his opponent, go down." ”
Zhao He is the person who serves Li Tai closely, and he has seen this man once or twice, but where the duty lies, they can only prevent him from entering, and Li Tai only arranged for the second-class manpower of the palace to take care of him in the secret house, so not only was he broken in, but he was also knocked unconscious and thrown into the rain in shame.
Zhao He has also heard about the things on the rivers and lakes, and naturally knows that he is not that person's opponent: Shen Jiantang, who became famous after killing the six bandits in Yannan with one enemy and six enemies, because he claimed to be a native of Yunzhou, and he was good at using a short sword, with the sharpest thirteen moves of the sword style, and he was nicknamed Yunzhou Thirteen Swords, and his light skills were the best.
The name of these thirteen swords sounds chivalrous, and at first this person was also very righteous, but in the past two years, he has done some things like chickens and dogs, and his reputation has gradually deteriorated, which is despised by people.

The Imperial City Liangyi Palace
In the spacious main hall of the palace, there are only two people sitting, and directly north, a middle-aged man dressed in ochre yellow, who is very relaxed on his usual serious face, is talking to the woman in palace clothes who is seated below.
"Zhaohua, your shelf is very big, and you will come back to Kyoto for a few days to see me."
Pingyang didn't have much smile on his face, but frowned lightly, and said to Li Shimin: "It's not that the courtiers don't want to come, it's that this Beijing is too chaotic, just looking at the headache-making news for a few days, Your Majesty, why don't you care, what kind of chaos has happened." ”
Her words were respectful, but her tone was not very polite, I am afraid that she is the only person in the world who dares to speak like this to the emperor of the Ninety-Five.
Long Yan was not angry, but smiled: "Oh, you tell me, what's the mess." ”
Pingyang reached out dissatisfiedly and clasped it lightly on the table, and said slowly: "Let's not talk about the side, there are more and more lawless kings and nobles in the capital, our princesses and ladies of the Tang Dynasty, one is more rude and willful than the other, Your Majesty, the courtiers are really blind, I heard that a while ago, Gao Yang also beat the gentleman of the Guozijian?" ”
(Second watch, tonight, there are three watches, apologize again, originally said that a chapter was sent at noon, but it was sent at five or six o'clock in the afternoon, no matter what the reason, in short, it was the fruit that was wrong, so that the relatives waited for a long time.) )(! )
