Chapter 136: A Visitor Comes to the Inn in the Middle of the Night
Liang Yue obviously heard it too, but she just looked away lightly. Jianghu people have no rules to speak, and she has always been used to it. How can she control other people's mouths? Just listen to it.
But the emperor obviously didn't think so, why did his people talk to other men in other people's mouths? Now except for Liang Yue, no one knows his identity, why does he bother to abide by the imperial etiquette and sanity?
The people in the lobby were talking energetically, and they had all kinds of words, and the emperor glanced down coldly, and said with a deep internal force: "It's not early, but it's not time to rest?" It's so noisy below, how can people go to bed? β
Xuanyuan Zili's internal strength is not inferior to Liangyue, or even better, this voice was deliberately amplified by him, and it clearly smashed into the hearts of everyone below.
Everyone looked up in surprise and saw a man in Xuanyi standing at the door of the wing room on the second floor of the inn. It's too far away to see clearly, but this internal force is so deep that no one present can compare it. Originally, this tone was arrogant, and everyone was dissatisfied in their hearts, but everyone understood the principle of the law of the jungle, so the voice in the lobby disappeared in an instant.
Xuanyuan Zili threw the door shut.
Liang Yue frowned slightly, looked at him and said, "If you are so public, it will be easy for Wu Tian and others to find out." β
They have no disguise, and their characteristics are more obvious, and the news of the Jianghu people spreads quickly, if they are sent by Songshan to get the news, it may be another hunt.
The emperor shook his head and said calmly: "No matter how mediocre this city lord is, it is impossible to allow a large number of people to fight in the city. Those people just have an advantage in numbers, and if there are few people, you and I will not be afraid. Both the light and the dark in the city can play with them. It's really here.,It's not bad to destroy this inn directly by the way.γ β
Liang Yue glanced at the emperor in astonishment, why did she always feel that Xuanyuanzi had left the palace and had a strong atmosphere of rivers and lakes? It seems that the height of the temple is a domineering king, and the distance between the rivers and lakes is faintly a kind of casualness of the rivers and lakes. She couldn't help but think of when the two first met, Xuanyuan Zili lifted a long sword with an expressionless face.
In fact, if he hadn't been born in the emperor's family, Xuanyuan Zili might have been a person who was very suitable for the rivers and lakes.
The shopkeeper brought the food upstairs, and Liang Yue checked it, and it seemed that there should be no problem, so he sat down with the emperor and had dinner. After a day of running around today, I still plan to rest first and do other things tomorrow.
There is still only one bed, and Liang Yue's robe has not been taken off, and she plans to sleep with her clothes. Xuanyuan Zili didn't say anything, turned off the lights, and gently lay down beside Liang Yue.
The people in the inn should have rested, and at this time there was only the sound of insects chirping outside. Liang Yue lay down with her eyes closed for a while, but found that she couldn't sleep much. The scene by the spring in the valley replayed in my mind one by one, and I couldn't help but open my eyes as if her whole body was slightly burning when I thought about it.
"What's wrong?" The emperor's voice sounded faintly in his ears, and when Liang Yue turned his head, he saw that Xuanyuan Zi's perfect side face was clearly outlined in the dark. His eyes were closed, his long eyelashes did not move, and he looked quiet and beautiful.
"I can't sleep a little." Liang Yue said in a muffled voice, turned to look at the emperor's face, blinked her eyes, and said curiously: "Your father, what does it look like?" β
Xuanyuan Zili pursed his lips and said in a low voice: "How did you think of asking such a boring thing." Isn't there a portrait of my father in the palace? β
"I haven't seen it." Liang Yue said lightly, with a trace of regret in her eyes: "I only heard that the first emperor was also a romantic character, but later he favored Mu Guifei, the queen mother... It turned out to be bitter too. β
Xuanyuan Zi left the "um" and said, "The woman that my father loved the most later died in the pile of red powder. Compared to her, the queen mother is lucky. The queen mother finally accomplished what she wanted, although she did not seem as happy as she had imagined. β
Liang Yue was silent. Xuanyuan Zili suddenly remembered, opened his eyes and looked at Liang Yue and said, "Who are your parents, don't you know yourself?" β
His eyes had a little light in the dark night, the distance was too close, and Liang Yue was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes and said, "Well, I don't know, I grew up with my master, and I was abandoned by my parents since I was a child." β
Xuanyuan Zili was slightly stunned, then pursed his lips, reached out to hug Liang Yue's shoulder, and said in a low voice: "They don't want you, they must regret it every day." You're good, Cool Moon. β
Was this comforting her? Liang Yue was stunned, then chuckled, leaning on the emperor's chest and laughing heartily. It's rare for this person to become more and more gentle, and he is still so awkward and comforting, compared to the previous Xuanyuan Zili, it is too cute.
The night was quiet. Xuanyuan Zili felt that the breathing of the cold moon in his arms gradually stabilized, and he couldn't help but bend his lips and smile. His chest was warm, it was the first time he had slept in his arms like this, but he felt extraordinarily warm. Between his snorts, there was the cold fragrance on Liang Yue's body, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
It was a good night, but alas, someone was destined not to let them be at peace.
During the third watch, there happened to be a person passing by outside. Liang Yue and the emperor opened their eyes at the same time, glanced at each other, and became vigilant.
There are people outside the window.
The Emperor sat up slowly, looking at the papier-mΓ’chΓ© window. The man outside was cautious enough, and waited for a long time to see that there was no movement inside, and then slowly opened the window.
Strangely, the window was clearly locked, but the man opened it without making a sound. And it was only half opened, and there was not a big gap, but a dark shadow deftly rolled in.
Suzuki raised an eyebrow. The man didn't look like a killer, but like...
"The Snitch?" The emperor spoke lightly, startling the dark shadow. In the darkness, the shadow jumped up to the beam of the room very quickly, watching Xuanyuan Zi slowly get out of bed and light the lamp, knowing that he had broken into the wrong room.
"Come down, if you don't run, we won't do it." Liang Yue got out of bed and said to the person on the beam with a smile.
The shadow hesitated for a moment, then flew quickly in the direction of the window. Liang Yue's eyes were quick, and she grabbed him by the collar and blocked his attack in a few moves, locking this person's hands.
"If you don't run, why don't you listen." Liang Yue pursed her lips, looked at the short man in her hand, and said lightly: "The star picker's bone shrinking skills are good, but it's a pity that the eyesight and reaction are not good enough." β
The emperor walked over, looked at the black-clothed and masked man, and ripped off his face towel.
"Actually, it's a child." Xuanyuan Zili looked at this person unexpectedly, and Liang Yue was also very curious, and the two of them mercilessly tied this person's hands with a rope and put them in the middle of the room, and looked at them.
The child's face was full of anger, and he looked at the two people in front of him: "You... What are you tying me up, I haven't stolen anything, it's too much for two people to bully children! β
Liang Yue looked at his puffing little face, and only felt extremely cute, and couldn't help but chuckle: "Breaking into someone's room in the middle of the night, you are still arrogant, little guy, what is your name?" β
"Why am I telling you?" The child snorted and shook his body, and his body, which had just been emaciated, instantly became much stronger, and he didn't look tall, and he was about ten years old.
It is really a bone shrinking skill, and as far as Liang Yue knows, the bone shrinking skill is a unique skill of the star picking family. The owner of the star-picking family steals, but is praised as a thief by the people of the rivers and lakes, and the founder of the star-picking family is also a myth on the rivers and lakes. Most of the star-picking families will steal the homes of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so why is this kid here today?
The emperor looked at the child expressionlessly, chuckled, and said, "If you don't say it, don't say it, and when it dawns, send it to the yamen and let his family come to collect it." β
The child's face turned white with fright, and he glared at Xuanyuan Zili angrily and said, "Why did you send me into the yamen, I can't go to the wrong door!" β
"Who uses the window as a door." Xuanyuan Zi didn't have a soft heart, and said coldly.
"You..." the child was anxious, this was his first time coming out, if he was sent into the yamen like this, would he still have a chance to come out? Moreover, they will definitely die of laughter from those people!
"I, my name is Sikong Xingxing." The child admitted defeat, looked at Liang Yueke and said cowardly: "Beautiful sister, I was wrong, just let me go this time." β
Liang Yue was startled, looked at the child in disbelief, and asked blankly, "What did you say your name was?" β
"Pick up the stars." The child replied proudly, "As you know, I am from the Star Picker." In this generation, I was the strongest, so I inherited the name. β
There is such a rule. Liang Yue squatted down, reached out and pinched Sikong Xingxing's face, and said with a smile: "Then you, the strongest person, fell into our hands, what should we do?" I'm a good talker, but that brother is very unforgiving. β
Interested, Liang Yue actually scared the child. Xuanyuan Zili was angry and funny, so he sat next to her and let her play. What does this mean, does he look more like a bad guy and scare children?
Sikong Xingxing really glanced at the emperor very scared, moved to Liang Yue's side, and said, "Beautiful sister, this big brother must listen to you, you can help me plead for mercy." β
Liang Yue pouted: "Where did you see that he was willing to listen to me?" β
Sikong Xingxing smiled with a smile on his face, glanced at Xuanyuan Zili, and said, "It seems that the big brother should be, my feeling has always been very accurate." Big sister, I still have a task tomorrow, I can't just enter the yamen like this, you let me go, I will definitely repay you in the future. β
Liang Yue thought for a moment and said, "How do you repay me?" β
Sikong Xingxing hesitated for a moment with a sad face, and said, "Tomorrow we will go to the city lord's house to move gold, otherwise, I will share some with you, right?" β
The castle lord's house? Moving gold? Liang Yue's expression straightened, Xuanyuan Zili also stood up, looked at Sikong Xingxing and asked in a deep voice: "Can I tell me, what is going on?" β
