Chapter 6: The Secret Meeting in the Back Garden (Revised)
The night was dark, and the bleak moonlight was shining on the lake.
The copper crane on the side of the road held in its mouth, like a bean-like fluttering lamp and candle, the dim light through the white gauze, reflecting the flowers and plants in the dark, it looked a little gloomy.
Han Qing leaned against the rockery, listening to the ethereal singing and dancing from far and near, and his eyes touched the point a little vaguely.
After a while, light footsteps resounded on the bluestone slab, and Han Qing reached out and pulled her behind the rockery when the man passed through him.
"Ah......" Han Qing didn't wait for her exclamation, she covered her mouth, and the two looked at each other before Han Qing let go of the hand covering her mouth.
"Brother, I've finally found you." Mo Xiangli hugged him tightly, Han Qing hugged her back, looked at her raised face by the moonlight, and said with a smile: "You have grown up, these eyebrows and eyes are really similar to your mother, I recognize them at a glance, my Yan'er, I have been looking for you for a long time, how did you get to Muyun Palace?"
"In the third year after you left, my mother died of illness, I borrowed a sum of money from the king of the town, and he asked me to bury my mother, so I married him as a concubine, and I fled to Tan County in Muyun after burying my mother.
Because of the coincidence by the local county order, accepted as a righteous daughter, instead of his daughter who eloped with someone, entered the palace as a palace maid, three months ago was temporarily favored by the current emperor, I thought that with his right to find my brother, I became Muyun's concubine. ”
"So that's the case, it just so happens that Yan'er, you use the identity of this concubine to find out where our father is imprisoned in this palace? When we rescue my father and poison the emperor to death, we will fly away and go to Beihan. Han Qing's eyes lit up when he thought of this.
"Daddy? Wasn't he beheaded? Mo Xiangli thought of the blurry image in his memory wearing iron armor, and said suspiciously.
"After I inquired, I found out that he was secretly transported to the palace, and he was imprisoned in a certain corner of the palace, and when we rescued him, we could join the family." Han Qing felt that it was too right to come to Muyun this time, and God was not so bad.
"By the way, this water is called real water, colorless and tasteless, and if it is placed in wine for seven days, it will accumulate poison to the lungs after three months, and the gods will not be able to save it.
Remember, once a day, one bottle at a time, if you don't poison continuously, you will fall short. We can't do it more, otherwise the emperor will die immediately, and it will not be easy for us to get out. You find an opportunity to sprinkle this into the Emperor's wine. Han Qing took out three bottles of real water from his bag and handed them to Mo Xiangli and said.
Thinking that his sister is a concubine, it is more convenient to poison, and it is not easy for others to suspect him, so God helps him.
Mo Xiangli touched the cold porcelain vase, his heart was cold, and he pleaded and said: "Brother, others are actually not bad, a good emperor who is diligent in government, loves the people, and is sympathetic to the people, and besides, those decisions to disperse our family were not made by him."
Han Qing's brows immediately tightened, and a surge of anger rose in his heart, and he asked sharply, "Do you like that emperor?"
"I ...... I didn't. Mo Xiangli whispered guiltily.
"Yan'er, the father's debt is repaid, this is what their Xiao family owes us, if it weren't for my fate, how could I have the opportunity to stand in front of you. See you at the same time and place in three days. You're out for half an hour. Han Qing let go of Mo Xiangli, his eyes cautiously scanned the surroundings, and his steps hurried away.
Han Qing's words diluted the joy of the reunion of the brother and sister in Mo Xiang's separation in the dark, and also poured a basin of cold water on her head, she pinched the three cold porcelain bottles in her hand, thinking of Xiao Jingyu's handsome face that always had a light smile, and her heart was a little complicated.
At the banquet, the singing and dancing continued, Han Qing returned to his position in silence, and Bei Hanjing felt that he was in a bad mood, although he did not show the slightest irritability on the surface.
Thinking about his sister's words, Han Qing couldn't help but look up and sneak a glance, the dog emperor who was high above. This dog emperor looks like a dog, no wonder his sister can't do anything to him.
As soon as Han Qing wanted to withdraw his gaze, a scorching gaze turned into thousands of thin threads enveloping him.
"Han Yuma, staring at me, is there anything wrong?" Xiao Jingyu looked at Han Qing, who was a little embarrassed, and said with a light smile.
Heh, Han Qing snorted coldly in his heart, instead of bothering you, he came up to find abuse by himself.
Han Qing stood up, gave a salute, and said with a regretful face: "Han Qing is sorry that he can't personally present the program that has been prepared for a long time."
"Oh? What is the content. Xiao Jingyu was aroused, and wanted to know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd.
"White Phoenix Dance." When Han Qing's eyes smiled, the smile always couldn't reach the bottom of his eyes.
"Please." Xiao Jingyu stretched out his hand and gestured.
"Please be patient and wait for Han Qing and Uchiko to play after they change clothes." Han Qing turned his head to look at Bei Hanjing, and the two looked at each other and smiled, with ill intentions hidden in their eyes.
When the two of them played again, they had already changed their clothes, Han Qing had a wooden ghost face with a black background and a white face, and changed into a wide white feather coat.
Bei Hanjing did not wear a mask on her face, her face was smeared, a thin leather whip was tied to her forehead and a forehead with a pendant, a bow was hung on her back, and she was wearing a black strong coat, outlining a tall and heroic figure, she looked at Han Qing and put the ceramic Xun to her mouth.
The two had a nameless tacit understanding, they didn't need to make a code, Xun was empty and desolate and lonely in the hall, leading people to the desolate wilderness.
The rough and simple dance danced slowly, every move, stirring the air, Han Qing seemed to be the lonely white phoenix, free but lonely.
His movements are simple and poignant, but there is an inexplicable attraction that draws everyone's attention to him.
Before I knew it, the music was rushing and there was a danger signal.
However, Bai Feng didn't know it, immersed in his own world, and everyone's hearts immediately became worried.
Bai Feng was still dancing, his feathers brushed over everyone's faces, a gorgeous fragrance, hitting the tip of everyone's nose, fascinating, some people closed their eyes and sniffed.
Bai Feng staggered, unconsciously came to the emperor's face, the mask was half hidden between the feathers, and when he tilted his head, he revealed a slender snow-white neck, Bai Feng stretched out his slender fingers, slowly took off his mask, and took the mask to half-cover his face.
Everyone looked at his intact half of his face, and sighed in their hearts that this man was more beautiful and charming than a woman.
Han Qing's fingers slowly half-took off his feather coat, revealing half of his white and sexy shoulders, and everyone was shocked and thought, could it be that Han Qing was not wearing clothes inside?
Everyone's hearts were ready to move for a while, and they were thinking about it.
When everyone's eyes were still focused on Bai Feng, Bei Hanjing didn't know when she took Xun, put a bow on her hand, and three arrows pierced the air with a flying sound, and when they shot at the emperor, everyone suddenly woke up.
Everyone hurriedly drew their swords in hindsight, and the guards immediately rushed forward with their swords, put them on Bei Hanjing, who was still planning to shoot the emperor, and quickly snatched the arrow from her hand.
But it was still too late, and the three arrows still flew out, and the air condensed for a while, and everyone's throats were raised.
When the guards raised their knives to cut off the arrow, Han Qing crooked his mouth and smiled evilly, untied his feather coat, and covered their heads, so that they could not step forward.
Han Qing made a move, caught two arrows between his fingers, and played a trick in his hand, and when the third arrow was shot in front of the emperor, it was beautifully held in the mouth by Han Qing, who came from his side.
The scene was silent for a while, and the guards took off the feather coats on their heads, wanting to arrest Han Qing.
Under everyone's noses, the head of the iron arrow suddenly bloomed with golden flowers, Han Qing looked back at Xiao Jingyu, who was frightened and white-faced, shrunk in the dragon chair in shock, smiled and offered the three golden flowers in his hand, and said in celebration: "Happy birthday!"
"This surprise...... I was surprised. Xiao Jingyu straightened the crown of the sky, sat upright, looked at Han Qing who was dressed in half-sleeved white clothes through the white jade bead curtain that was still trembling, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile.
"Poisonous, don't take it from the emperor." The ministers exclaimed.
Xiao Jingyu laughed and said, "This is a good gift from Han Yuma, how can there be a gift that I don't receive." The eunuch took over the three arrow flowers for him, Xiao Jingyu twisted a golden flower, held it up in front of his eyes and looked at it carefully, and found that there was an inconspicuous switch on the arrow body, which could open and close the flowers, which was a new interest!
Li Junye had been watching the excitement, and when he saw the arrow that could bloom, he couldn't help but step forward and asked, "Can you borrow a look from the ministers."
Xiao Jingyu bowed his head and signaled, and the eunuch gave Li Junye one.
Li Junye pinched the golden flower in his hand, his eyes immediately lit up, and he couldn't help but praise: "This is a very lethal weapon, if it is modified, it can be arrowed into the flesh and blood, and the iron flower will bloom, making the skin and flesh unable to be stitched, and the blood will not stop and die."
Han Qing immediately realized that he had done a stupid thing, giving the weapon he had invented to others, if they successfully researched and transformed it and manufactured it in large quantities, wouldn't it be a disaster for himself.
Han Qing thought of this and wanted to take back the golden flower immediately, but it was obviously impossible to get it back, so he could only say: "Prime Minister Li, this is just a small gift from Han Qing to the emperor, Bo Jun smiled, does your country have to turn it into a weapon to slaughter everyone here?"
"Hehe, Jun Ye is just talking, Han Yuma doesn't need to panic." The emperor looked at Han Qing's powerful mouth and spoke for his prime minister.
"Han Qing naturally believes your words, a gentleman is difficult to chase after a word, if the monarch of Muyun Country does not speak, I am afraid that it will be difficult for everyone in the world to convince the public." Han Qing meant something in his words, and everyone here understood the subtext, that is, if you Muyun built this weapon, it would be against today's words, and everyone would have a reason to attack your country.
"People in the world naturally don't want this kind of cruel weapon to be born, and if anyone dares to make it in private, it will be a big shame to risk the world." Yan Ziqing left his position, walked to Li Junye's side, took the arrow flower in his hand, and opened and closed to play.
"What Prime Minister Yan said is, can you just let go of Neizi first, we came to perform for the emperor, but now we are being swords...... "Han Qing smiled, and he had already scolded in his heart, what Lao Tzu invented could not be used clearly.
