Chapter 93: I Hope It's Still Too Late
The three of them turned over in turn.
Situ Wan seemed to be familiar with it, fumbling back and forth for the scrolls on the bookcase.
It was as familiar as if it had come from her.
Chu Jiu followed her behind her, and that day Su sat in front of the door, guarding the door, peeking at it from time to time.
Seeing Situ Wan standing in the second row of bookshelves and stopping, Chu Jiujiu asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Situ Wan seemed to have fallen into the memories of the past, she didn't hear Chu Jiujiu speak, or she was not familiar with Chu Jiujiu speaking in a male voice, so she didn't react for a while.
There was a violent tremor under his body, Chu Jiu supported Situ Wan, and he was also tightly held by Na Ri Su.
That day, Su's strength was so great that he didn't feel like he was about to fall, even though the ground was turning.
It's stable.
The bookcase was divided into two, separated from the middle to both sides, and scattered in all directions, Chu Jiujiu and his party dodged the bookcase moving towards them back and forth, until the ground stopped shaking, and the three of them suddenly realized that they were already standing in an open space.
The dim yellow light suddenly lit up.
The bookcase spreads out around it, revealing two mahogany chairs hidden behind the bookcase, with a desk in the center and a picture of a beautiful woman hanging on the wall.
This is what the ancient literati's study should look like.
Pen, ink, paper, inkstone, everything.
Thinking of the conversation between Li Changshu and another man just now, Chu Jiuzai carefully looked for the fragments of the Liangzhou city defense map.
That day, Su also followed to look for it, it was about the emperor's general, the object of his worship, and he couldn't help but care.
It's just that a green wave ran in front of Chu Jiuyue's eyes.
Looking up, Situ Wan was already caressing the beauty picture on the wall, crying silently, and groaning hoarsely: "Sister ......"
Is this Mo Sheng?
The scene in the painting should be two osmanthus trees outside the Fengya Hall, when the wind blows, the dignified and gentle beauty green silk also moves, falls on the lips, and looks up at the wall sadly.
It seems that he wants to go out but can't get out, and he is forced to laugh.
The first time Chu Jiujiu saw the painting, he understood why Situ Wan couldn't forget it.
The beauty is not like the mortal world, the eyebrows and eyes are all the fireworks in the world, compassion for the common people, every gesture is tender like water, and the pulse is speechless.
Who can forget such a person?
The more Situ Wan cried, the louder her voice became, and the hoarse her voice became, mixed with her words: "Sister...... Awan is late......"
She seemed to have forgotten Chu Jiujiu behind her, and completely got into the painting, even if the eyes were old and bloodshot, they also contained endless warmth, and their eyes were full of the woman in the painting.
Chu Jiujiu saw that she was crying a little out of breath, so he gently patted her back to make her more comfortable, his eyes first fell on the painting, and then looked around.
Thinking of a few paintings and calligraphy I saw in Feng Yatang, I knew that this painting was from Li Yiyang.
Whether it is the eyebrows and eyes of the person in the painting, or the splendid white gauze skirt he is wearing, the folds of the skirt are detailed one by one, lifelike.
Li Yiyang is not ruthless to Mo Sheng, and his career may be greater than everything in his heart.
Belated love is cheaper than grass!
Killed hundreds of people in the Mo family, and now put Mo Sheng's portrait here, who is disgusting? Comfort yourself?
Helping Situ Wan to the side of the mahogany chair and sitting down, Chu Jiujiu softly comforted: "Ah Wan doesn't cry, Sister Ah doesn't blame you, you sit down and rest for a while." ”
The most important thing at the moment is to find the fragments of the Liangzhou city defense map, without it, without evidence, how could Li Yiyang take it in one fell swoop?
And who is the boss who spoke to Li Changshu just now?
Twelve years ago, in the battle of Liangzhou, 3,000 soldiers were just a pinch of loess, and as soon as the wind blew, it dispersed.
Thinking of this, Chu Jiujiu's brows furrowed, "he" wanted to avenge those dead soldiers, or he wanted to make them blind, and it had nothing to do with anyone.
Since you have come to this world, it is worth the trip, and it is not without a win.
The young man walked to the corner of a bookcase, and suddenly bent down and said, "Found it!" ”
In addition to the surprise, Su Chao Chu Jiujiu walked over quickly that day and handed the dark yellow fragment in his hand to Chu Jiujiu.
The fragment was five centimeters in size, and the words on it were beautiful and powerful.
The corner of the structure of Liangzhou City is painted on it, and Chu Jiujiu can recognize it, completely because that corner is the city tower, only there is a bloody flag on the Liangzhou City Tower, and the Liang character on it is covered with dust by the years, and the blood is stained red.
It was embroidered by Emperor Ci's mother, Fengxi, and in the lower right corner of the flag, there was a line of dense small characters embroidered with gold thread: Xi waits for the king's return, the flag is victorious, and the lights of ten thousand homes are bright, and I am Chang'an.
Only one cool word is retained, which is eye-catching.
Chu Jiujiu seemed to be on the battlefield, looking at the brave and good fighter, wearing battle armor, the emperor Linfeng, leading three thousand soldiers and rushing out.
The soldiers were killed in the tens of thousands of enemy troops.
Emperor Linfeng was arrogant, unyielding, although he was stabbed into a sieve by the enemy on the iron horse, knelt on the ground, held the flag in his hand, and used his last strength to embed it into the ground, unfolding it in the wind, hunting and hunting.
The blood-soaked general looked up at the city tower, sad and affectionate, it was his hometown that he couldn't go back to, eight thousand miles away from home.
Looking at Chu Jiujiu's eyes were red, his nose was sour, and his voice was muttering: "No matter who the person behind him is, he must be pulled out, I want him to die in Liangzhou, kneel down in front of the undead one by one, and let the three thousand soldiers die blind." ”
Accustomed to seeing the sinister hearts of the people, the first time he saw such a resolute and kind person, and the first time in twelve years that he heard that someone wanted to seek grievances for the emperor general, the extinguished torch in his whole heart was suddenly lit, and he said: "Lao Tzu is with you!" ”
——
Yong'an Hou Mansion.
A willow catkins dressed in black with narrow sleeves, who had just come back from the investigation of the emperor's mansion, had a blue nose and swollen face, and he scolded and wiped the nosebleed with his sleeves, and ordered the guards guarding both sides of the door: "If you doze off again, you will all be locked in the dungeon!" Look closer! ”
A word woke up the dreamer, the two waiters were straight, their eyes were like copper bells looking at the crowd coming and going at the door, one by one from the beginning to the end, no one dared to fall, they didn't want to go into the dungeon even if they died.
Not only is it dead, but I'm afraid even the body is gone.
Liu Wu changed into a clean robe, which was still black as always, and hurriedly ran to the dungeon to restore his life with Di Chuan.
At this time, Chang Chuan was wearing a purple robe, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and his green fingertips selected utensils, and pointed knives, long needles, and steel nails...... I don't seem to be satisfied......
When he touched the last red box, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and he smiled, and his tone was cold: "Say, why did you appear near His Majesty's bedroom?" ”
He will not disobey Xiao Jiu'er's will, but that doesn't mean that there is no eyeliner by Xiao Jiu'er's side, but they are all hidden in the deep palace, and no one can guess who it is, just to protect Xiao Jiu'er's safety.
How could he let his own little Jiu'er love a clean girl so much and be stained with blood?
So he was used to solving all the people who were harmful to her for Xiao Jiu'er behind him.
This is not the moment, and another fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy has been arrested.
The boy was shackled to the cross, tortured and half-dead, his legs separated from his body.
Seeing Chang Chuan walking towards him with the red bottle, he trembled in fear and kept begging for mercy: "Master Hou! Master Hou! Let the villain go! The villain was just blinded by lard for a while! You let the villain go! The villain also has a few good mansions in his hands, all of which will be given to you! ”
What was said earlier was simply full of sincerity, but in the next second, with a deafening scream, the young man's chest was violently pierced by a sharp blade, again and again!
The boy originally planned to grit his teeth and not open his mouth even if he suffered the pain of extinction.
But it hurts! The humble son Yong'an Hou's expression is still indifferent at the moment! But those starry eyes are terrifying!
It hurts so much!
The boy couldn't help but open his mouth!
The fingernail-sized bug in the red bottle is in the stomach!
The worm is called Piercing Heart, and it is everyone's nightmare, and even those who don't open their mouths will lose their minds the moment they see the red worm.
The name is like that, and it really pierces the heart, biting people's hearts little by little!
"Your Majesty, how dare an ant like you come near? It's you who seek your own death. ”
Chang Chuan's words were cold, and his voice echoed in the empty and gloomy dungeon.
There was silence for a while.
Even the people who were in pain just now gritted their teeth and swallowed them in their stomachs, their eyes were scarlet, and they didn't dare to let out a wail.
Soon, the boy's face was distorted, and the red worm pierced through his heart, and blood stains emerged from the boy's spine.
Chang Chuan indifferently buckled the bottle to his body, plugged the wooden stopper, and the action was done in one go, and his hand pulled back the wide sleeve, and put the red porcelain bottle back in its place.
He put his sleeve to the tip of his nose and sniffed it, frowning.
Liu Wu, who was standing at the door of the prison, had been leaning against the door and looking at it indifferently for a while, knowing that Hou Ye was clean for love, every time he came to this dungeon, he had to bathe for a long time when he was stained with the smell of blood, knowing that he couldn't smell it.
Seeing that Hou Ye's eyebrows were frowning, Liu Wu hurriedly bowed forward, "Hou Ye, go back and change your clothes." ”
"Hmm." Chang Chuan answered, flicked his sleeves and walked out of the cell door.
As soon as the door closed.
In the dungeon, there were terrible wails again, one after another, one desperate and more desperate.
Chang Chuan has a lot of clothes, but they are all purple, just because when he first saw Chu Jiujiu, he was also dressed like this, and the eight-year-old Chu Jiujiu said, it looks good.
He has always dressed like this, when he was still the emperor's teacher, teaching Chu Jiuyue to read and write.
Chang Chuan, who was slowly changing his clothes in the house, asked, "How is the investigation?" ”
Liu Wu, who was standing outside the door, bowed down and responded: "Back to the Hou Ye, the regent has been to the Li family." ”
Chang Chuan, who was wearing a white brocade belt, paused in the movements of his hands, and asked again after a while: "Found evidence of poisoning?" ”
"Nope." Liu Fu responded: "I just went to test it, and now let Mo Li stare at that kid, but it's ......"
"But what?"
"The regent seems to have some concerns, Mo Li is staring at a little boy, that little boy is a doctor who has only come to Yong'an City recently, his name is ......" Liu Wu thought for a while: "Flower prayer." ”
"Flower prayer?" Chang Chuan repeated in a low voice, the voice was inaudible, the robe on his body was already put on, and he scooped up the green silk placed on one side behind him, and did not tie his hair with his hands, but just lazily and lazily went to his waist.
He commanded in a deep voice: "Keep watching, don't let him enter the gate of the Li family." ”
"Yes!" Liu Fu responded and continued to ask: "Do you want to catch Hua Qi'an and ask?" ”
"No, if you get into this chess game, you are more likely to die, and let's see what fame he can make." Chang Chuan said playfully.
He really wanted to see what kind of person could make the emperor, who had always rejected people thousands of miles away, take such a bother, and this was the first time.
"Yes!"
The catkins responded, and then their footsteps landed lightly on the cherry blossom trees in the courtyard, and soon disappeared without a trace.
After the catkins left, Chang Chuan went to the rockery in the backyard, where there was a hot spring, where only he could enter and exit, he always had to soak for a long time before he felt that the smell was lighter.
The heat rose up, and the man with sword eyebrows couldn't see his expression clearly.
He could only be heard muttering, "I hope it's still too late." ”
As soon as the words landed, Chang Chuan raised his head, the mist filled the face of a humble gentleman, he seemed to be tired, slowly closed his eyelids, and the cherry blossom petals floating in from the courtyard spread on the surface of the water, causing ripples.
The past seems to be clear little by little with the ripples.
——
It's dawn.
Chu Jiujiu escaped with Situ Wan.
It was the sweetest night that Situ Wan slept on, and the moment the light came in, her eyes that had just opened suddenly closed until the light and heat seemed to be cut off, followed by a gentle child's voice: "Are you sleeping well?" Slow down and then open your eyes, the light is too dazzling. ”
The little boy's voice was very soft, like a breeze pervasive towards the flowers, and Situ Wan slowly opened his eyes.
yes, it's too glaring.
It's not light, but the shallow smile of the beautiful and gentle little boy in front of him.
Those eyes are very similar to Sister Mo Sheng, compassion and agility, affectionate, gentle as water.
"Sleep well...... Very good. Situ Wan's voice became even more hoarse after yesterday's heart-rending cry.
If it weren't for Su seeing that she couldn't stop crying that day, she shot out to knock Situ Wan unconscious, and it is estimated that Chu Jiujiu would not have been able to sleep.
So early in the morning, Chu Jiujiu instructed Chunhua Qiushi to take a bunch of pastries, put them on the table on the first floor, and shouted that Su went to eat that day, which should be thanked, and it can be regarded as making the best use of things in the Li family.
Chu Jiujiu came upstairs to call Situ Wan for breakfast, and saw that Situ Wan was sleeping soundly, as if she had a sweet dream, and kept calling Sister A, so she couldn't bear to bother.
Staring at the steel nails that had been driven into her limbs.
The steel nail had grown together with the flesh and bones, and it couldn't be seen if he didn't look closely, and Chu Jiu's heart throbbed.
The person in front of him is the same as Lulu, he is a stubborn person, he is arrogant, he can't be crushed, even if he dies, his bones have to be straight and straight.
Just as he wanted to take out a silver needle and prick Situ Wan's throat, the man's eyes moved.
Chu Jiujiu saw that she was about to wake up, thinking of Situ Wan's resistance and fear, she finally withdrew her hand, thinking that she would fall asleep next time, but she must not fall asleep because she was sleepy and miss it.
"Here, get new clothes." Picking up the red robe and the silver-white half-face mask that Chunhua Qiushi had prepared, Chu Jiujiu helped the person up and compared: "Ah Wan will definitely look good when she wears it." ”
Seeing that Situ Wan was stunned and didn't answer, Chu Jiu stuffed it to her, and said like a child: "Quickly change it, Li Yiyang's people are likely to come later, we can't be recognized by him, right?" ”
Seeing that Situ Wan took it and started to change, as if she didn't care about the presence of other people, Chu Jiujiu was shocked to realize that Situ Wan's mental condition was not optimistic.
"Stop!" Chu Jiujiu didn't forget that he was dressed as a man now, not to mention that Ri Su was downstairs that day, and he couldn't be noticed by him, "he" hurriedly stopped him: "Ah Wan, it's not like this, you have to go behind the screen to change." ”
Situ Wan's wrinkled face wrinkled even deeper when she heard this, but she didn't resist and obediently went behind the screen to change it.
I don't know what a woman in a tunic red shirt will look like, when Situ Wan cowered and walked out, Chu Jiujiu seemed to see the cold and glamorous beauty in white horse and red clothes with a spear on her back that year, she was really heroic, more chic than a man.
Chu Jiujiu greeted him, Situ Wan's waist was stiff, his temples were white, half of his wrinkled face was perfectly covered by a silver-white mask, and the other half was twilight, but there was still no trace of aging, the charm of those eyes was still there, "he" sincerely admired: "It's so good-looking!" ”
Situ Wan's face was blushing from praise: "Sister......"
"Let's go, go down and eat." Chu Jiujiu dragged people downstairs.
said hello to the day when she was eating, then sat down next to Situ Wan and frantically sandwiched meat for her.
Situ Wan is too thin and needs to be repaired, otherwise it will be difficult to take out the steel nails.
On the day when he ate silently for a long time, Su couldn't stand it anymore, and dropped his chopsticks: "Flower prayer!" You scumbag! Forget it if there's a wanderer! How to ......"
Su was speechless that day, and sat down with his buttocks, his nostrils puffing.
Chu Jiujiu was speechless for a while.
Meow!
What's the situation?
Can this child's possessiveness be lightened?
Seeing that Situ Wan didn't eat a bite, as if she was afraid, Chu Jiujiu glared at Na Ri Su.
That day, Su actually sympathized with Situ Wan and admired her, besides, everyone can be the mother of Hua Qi'an, and suddenly felt that he had done something wrong just now, and his arrogance was gone, so he obediently added another chopstick meat to Situ Wan's bowl, and muttered: "You eat, Lao Tzu is not so stingy that he has to compete with everyone and be jealous, like a girl." ”
Chu September: "......"
