East of Yun'an City, Guantou Town.

Hoof, hoof......

Six fast horses galloped from the official road, entered the town under the cover of night, and stopped in front of the inn opposite the town's carriage and horse shop.

Cao Aning, who was in the dust, returned to the place of the ups and downs in the first half of his life, and he inevitably sighed in his heart, and after turning over and dismounting, he signaled to the carriage and horse on the opposite side:

"This used to be the secret property of the prince of Yanwang, and the blood Bodhi failed to assassinate King Jing, so he hid here to recuperate. Later, Blood Bodhi didn't know if he was kicked in the head by a horse, and ran to assassinate the Night Terrors, and the one who died was called a heroic ......"

Xu Tianying walked by his side and pointed to Yutan Mountain at the end of his vision:

"There is Yutan Villa, my master and Teng Tianyou, these masters, conspired to assassinate the empress, but they were stopped by the Night Terror Hall alone, and they all died at their hands, and now I don't know where the bones ......are buried."

Jia Shengzi, led by six people, is the disciple of King Zuoxian, and he is also a brave and resourceful general, but he has listened to the two of them tell about the magnificent achievements of the Night Yama King all the way, and after walking to Yun'an, he even feels a little like he is half a foot in the ground. After all, compared with the top heroes such as Lu Jieyun, Sima Yue, and Xuan Shenglone, he is not even Mao, and he came to assassinate the Night Terror, this is not looking for death.

Although Jia Shengzi was loyal to King Zuoxian, no matter how loyal he was, he couldn't give it away in vain, and after he glanced at the afterglow of the city in the distance, he said:

"Characters like Night Terror Hall are not something we can deal with, and if we are not careful, we will die without a corpse. You must not act impulsively, especially if God responds to you, no matter how big the hatred of killing the teacher is, you must know how to forbear, and if the person is gone, there is nothing. ”

Xu Tianying bowed slightly: "Don't worry, Old Jia, I have my own measure." ”

Jia Shengzi came to the capital for the first time, and after staying at the inn, he looked at Yun'an in the distance at the window, and said:

"This is the head of Dawei, between the markets, I don't know how many eyeliners are buried, the one in front of me may be the eyes and ears of the Night Terror Hall, I need to be very careful."

Cao Aning nodded seriously: "Understood." ”

"The team of the imperial court will be here the day after tomorrow, and we are the vanguard army, and the first task is to find out the movements of the night terror. A Ning, you are a secret guard, you should know about the terrain and officialdom of Yun'an, and this matter will be handled by you......"

Cao Aning said with a serious expression: "Night Terror Hall is full of ears and eyes, it is said that the wind and grass can be seen in a radius of half a mile, and I don't dare to approach rashly, but if you only find out the general trend, it shouldn't be difficult." After this person is found, what is the court going to do with it? ”

Jia Shengzi sat down next to the tea case, stroked his beard and said:

"The waiter Li Si looks down on us and other customers born in the rivers and lakes, and uses us as consumables, only arranging things, not mentioning anything else, how to deal with it, the old man is not very clear.

"He Li Si looks down on people, and we don't have to report the will to die, just inquire about the news that can be investigated, and just run away if the news is not right, and when the time comes, the crime will not be counted on my head."

When Cao Aning heard this, he couldn't help but feel embarrassed, after all, Jia Shengzi couldn't enter the staff level, so he couldn't get the specific layout of the high-level of Beiliang, and the empress would take credit afterwards, so he wouldn't play soy sauce.

Cao Aning pondered for a while, and felt that he still had to show some ability, so that Li Si could realize the importance of the six of them, and immediately spoke:

"I know the capital well, and I still have the handle of a few small officials in my hand, I will go to find out the news first, and if there is any situation, report to Jia Lao in time."

"Go ahead, be careful."

……

——

Along the banks of the river, the lights are brilliant, and a small painting boat flows upstream, crossing the white stone arch bridges.

There is a small wine pot with melon and fruit tea trays in the painting boat, and young women and girls in bright clothes sit around it, playing with the popular 'wine order' in the capital.

It probably means that all kinds of requirements are written on the bamboo sticks, and the person who shakes the sign has to perform in the above way, and if he can't perform, he will be punished for drinking.

This kind of play is both meat and vegetarian, and it is known for singing, dancing, singing, poetry and other elegant things, and the meat is self-explanatory, and the signature is conservative to write 'watermelon push on the spot'.

The Queen Mother was present, and there was a little girl like Yunli, the girls didn't play so much, but they were still not subtle, getting up and dancing or answering embarrassing questions or something, basically it was the turn of whoever was red-faced.

In the painting boat, there are the Queen Mother, Xuanji Zhenren, Sanniang, Fan Qinghe, Xiao Yunli, and Hongyu Xiuhe Ping'er and other maids.

But the relationship between the night terror hall and the girls is more special, really sit in, play meat can also be used as props, and it is really difficult to grasp the scale, so I just support the boat in the back, listening to the laughter inside.

And the bird obviously didn't understand this, at this time standing on the pole and pretending to be an osprey, and from time to time chirping twice, meaning that the night terror hall was also kicked out, and he was gloating.

The painting boat crosses the capital along the bustling river bank, and when it reaches the Wende Bridge area, the night is also relatively dark.

The Empress Dowager wanted to take the boat back and go to the house of the Night Terror Hall to spend the night, but when the Empress Dowager stayed at the courtier's house overnight, it was not as simple as an uproar in the city, and it is estimated that thousands of years later, some people are wondering what the Empress Dowager Wei did with Wu'an Gong that night.

For the sake of future generations, the Queen Mother still got off the boat and returned to the imperial city after the painting boat arrived near the Wende Bridge; The Night Terror Hall naturally volunteered to serve as a guard to escort the Queen Mother back to the palace.

The snow has stopped imperceptibly, and the weather at night is a little colder.

On the road outside the towering palace walls, Night Terror Hall walked half a step behind him with a knife on his waist, looking at the afterglow of the city.

The Queen Mother was slightly drunk, wrapped in a red cloak on her shoulders, because she was followed by Hongyu and Heiya's guards, and she was not very good at speaking along the way, just singing alone "Uh-hum ~", and rubbing a hairpin in her hand.

Seeing that he had arrived near the imperial city, the Night Terror Hall felt that the Queen Mother ran over at night, and she couldn't let people go back without her hands warm, so she turned around and said:

"Hongyu, you take the guards back to the palace first, and let Yang Lan prepare to greet him. The Queen Mother drank some wine and walked back to her body. ”

"Oh."

Hongyu naturally obeyed her words, and ran towards Chaoyangmen with the bird in her arms.

And a few black guards thought that they were following Lord Ye, and they were completely protected by Lord Night as a pendant, and they all went to guard Hongyu at the moment.

The Queen Mother was quite leisurely, but when she saw this scene, her eyes were panicked, she stopped humming, and wanted to bury her head and catch up quickly.

But as soon as he took a step, an arm stretched out in front of him, blocking the way.

The Queen Mother's figure was slightly paused, and she quickly put on the posture of a mother, and raised her eyes to look at the handsome son beside her:

"You're presumptuous."

The tone is quite fierce, but the voice is not loud, and it looks fierce.

Night Terror blocked the front, looked down at the slightly red cheeks, and smiled:

"Mother's hands are cold, I'll help you warm up?"

The Queen Mother was a little panicked, hid her hand behind her waist, and said:

"Night Terrors, if you are so bold again, this palace is really amazing, don't think that this palace will not dare."

The night terror hall was not afraid at all, hooked the queen mother, held the little hand and interlocked her fingers, turned around and continued walking.

The Queen Mother was a little annoyed, struggled a little, and found that she couldn't break free, so she also let him go, and said seriously:

"Night Terror, you tell me honestly, where did you get the hairpin in this palace?"

Night Terror Hall smiled: "My father-in-law told me before he died, saying that in the last years of the previous dynasty, the ancestor buried the picture of bathing in the fire under the ginkgo tree. I ran to dig, but I didn't find it, but dug up a hairpin, I thought a concubine buried it, but I didn't expect it to be the Queen Mother......"

The Queen Mother had been thinking about this at night, and she snorted softly:

"The hairpin was worn when I was a child in this palace, and I wanted to send it out as a token of love when I met someone I liked, and then I was buried when I was widowed...... If you dig it out privately, do you know what sin you should be guilty of? ”

What is the crime?

Night Terror Hall turned its head and thought for a moment:

"Since I dug up the hairpin, I must fill the vacancy of the person I like......

"You want to be beautiful."

The Queen Mother just wanted to tell the origin of the hairpin to the Night Terror Hall, and after finishing speaking, because she was too nervous to hold hands on the road, she wanted to pull her hand and go back quickly.

Night Terror Hall naturally held on to this.

The Queen Mother had no choice but to retreat:

"Night Terror, on the snowy mountain, the palace saw that your hands were frozen red, so they helped you warm up, but you were good, even if you were not moved, you still relied on the palace. If you knew this, this palace shouldn't have cared about you. ”

Night Terror shook his head and smiled, holding his little hand and putting it in his arms:

"I didn't say that I would let the Queen Mother warm her hands, I was to help you warm up, and I would like to repay you."

The Queen Mother can't touch the twist, but she doesn't think it's interesting to warm her hands.

She tried to pull her hand out, but when it moved, she found that Night Terror still had a handkerchief in her arms.

The handkerchief fabric is so smooth that it seems to be used by women......

？

The Queen Mother is not jealous, but she is curious about who sent the handkerchief, and wants to take it out to see.

The night terror hall was carrying a small piece of fabric, and she didn't feel anything special, and when the Queen Mother was about to take it out, she suddenly remembered, so she hurriedly went out and carried something terrible on her body.

？！

Night Terror's expression froze, and he saw that he was about to be ruined, so he lowered his head and leaned towards his red lips without thinking.

The Queen Mother was caught off guard, her eyes opened slightly, and she hurriedly dodged:

"Huh?! You...... Woo! ”

Bobo~

Night Terror put his arms around his waist, lowered his head to block his words, and hugged the Queen Mother off the ground.

The Queen Mother was directly stunned, and at first she wanted to resist, but in the end she found that she couldn't resist, so she became obedient, and then she was dizzy and didn't know how long she had stayed up, and then she let go of the night terror.

"Bah, Bah, Bah......"

The Queen Mother landed again, her face was red and angry and annoyed, not to mention the handkerchief, she almost forgot where she was, and after glaring at the night terror, she lowered her head and walked quickly towards the city gate.

Night Terror Hall secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for fear of scaring the Queen Mother, so he didn't chase after him, but just followed slowly behind, and when he reached the city gate, Hongyu and the others appeared in the field of vision, and then stopped to speak:

"The Queen Mother should rest early, and she will leave first."

The Queen Mother gritted her teeth and recovered her natural demeanor, but her braincase was still a little confused, and she didn't dare to stay......

——

When I returned to Tianshui Bridge, the night was already dark.

The shops were closed, and the streets were empty, except for the lights in the dart board.

When I walked through the front door of the dart game, I could see Chen Biao and Yang Chao sitting under the eaves, with a wine table in the middle.

Yang Guan, who came to give gifts today, sat on the small bench with a dead face, his face was flushed, and he listened to Yang Chao say:

"Walking to the barren bone beach, the leader of the Black Flag Gang brought three or two people to fight the autumn wind, She Long drank a lot of wine and urinated, and ran to the thatched house halfway, and hit it directly, guess what?"

"What's wrong?"

"The minions who hit the head, turned over and stabbed the neck, only to hear a click, scared She Long's urine back, let go of the finch and touched the neck, there was no ...... of fart"

"Good Fellow......"

……

Night Terror Hall listened to two sentences outside, which was a little funny, and I also wanted to go in and have a good time.

But Miss Fan set the rules, at least once a day, a little more nonsense, a little less conditioning, after a long time of nonsense, tomorrow, so she still suppressed the urge to chatter and walked over.

The clouds obscured the moon, and the streets were pitch black, except for the light under the lanterns of some shops.

Night Terror walked to the dark place, and saw that the bird flew back by itself, and wanted to take out the white bow fabric to take a look, but as soon as his hand was put in his arms, the root of his ear moved.

Call~

The street was almost silent, and there seemed to be no living creatures, but faint breaths could be heard.

Night Terror's eyes condensed slightly, and his hand rested lightly on the hilt of the knife.

As a result, before he could make a move, a voice sounded from the window of the grain shop:

"Don't don't, it's my ......"

Night Terror was stunned for a moment, let go of the handle of the knife, walked to the outside of the grain store, paid attention to the surrounding wind and grass, and asked:

"The envoy team will only arrive the day after tomorrow, and you are here today?"

Cao Aning didn't know if the masters of the Northern Liang Court had arrived, and he didn't show his head openly, but he just said in the window:

"The six people sent by King Zuo Xian were used as pawns by the Northern Liang Imperial Court, so I asked them to come over first to find out the information, and I guess they didn't expect us to help. If you want to know the specific layout of the Northern Liang court, you have to pay attention to a few of us first. ”

Night Terror Hall stood with his hands in his hands, frowned, and said, "You mean to give some information, and you will bring it back to hand it over?" ”

"Yes. It is best to have information on the diet and daily life of the night adults, three points false and seven points true, and there must be traces to follow, don't go to Longyin Tower on a whim to prove that our information is accurate. ”

The fingers of the night terror hall rubbed lightly, and after a moment of deliberation, he spoke:

"Got it. Tomorrow night, you go to the morgue of the Yamen to get news. ”

"Morgue...... The Night Lord is nostalgic for the old. I just heard that Lord Ye was crowned the Duke of the Kingdom today? ”

"That's true."

"Congratulations, congratulations, ......"

"As long as you are faithful to the Holy One, the Holy One can give you far more than you think."

"Alas, my life was picked up from the sword of the Night Kingdom, where do I dare to ask for too much. Cao retired first. ”

Night Terror stopped in place until the footsteps were gone, then frowned, and after a moment of careful thought, he returned to the new house.

——

Sanniang and the others arrived home early in the painting boat, because they had drunk a lot, and when they came back, they went back to the room to rest.

At this time, only the embroidery building in the house was still lit, and the window could see Xiao Yunli fighting left and right, and the birds squatting in the window and tilting their heads to watch the play.

Night Terror Hall passed by the verandah and saw this scene, but remembered that it was only half of the conversation with Xuanji real people before going out to talk about calligraphy.

Night Terror Hall researched today, and found that writing well is much easier than practicing kung fu, and after getting the reward, I even can't stop it.

Yun Li is working hard, he naturally can't slack off, after thinking about it, he quickly returned to the Plum Blossom Courtyard, ready to chat with Teacher Shui'er about calligraphy first, and then complete today's conditioning task.

The lights in the Plum Blossom Courtyard are out, but the main house still has a door.

Night Terror Hall entered the courtyard and took a look, and found that the window of the east wing was not open to wait for him today, and the door was also closed, so he came to the door and gently pushed the door open.

The door bolted.

？

Night Terror Hall didn't remember that Xuanji, who was strong in martial arts, had the habit of tying the door, but he was angry because of the snatching of pants in the evening, so he raised his hand and tapped lightly.

Knock knock~

Soon, there was a movement in the back room to get up.

窸窸窣窣窣......

Treading ......

Night Terror stood in front of the door and waited, thinking about what kind of calligraphy to use to cheat the reward later, but soon felt that something was wrong—the footsteps sounded ......

No way!

Night Terror suddenly reacted that something was wrong, but before he could sneak away, the sound of footsteps came in front of him.

Click~

The door opened.

The woman's cheeks are presented in the door, without powder, but the showiness is not reduced by half, and a touch of red after drinking even adds three points of color.

The woman is wearing a skirt and a red loose pajamas, which are not transparent, but the fabric is extremely soft, and the peaks and peaks set off by the delicate and graceful and bold figure may be a little hot after drinking, and the collar is also untied, and you can see the snow-white skin under the collarbone.

The woman held the door with both hands, originally sleepy-eyed with three points of drunkenness, but after seeing the tall and handsome noble son in front of her, her eyes visibly sobered up, and she also widened a little, and then her eyes showed a helplessness.

"Uh...... Miss Fan......"

Night Terror raised his hand, opened his mouth, and stopped talking.

Fan Qinghe was stunned, he didn't expect that Night Terror Hall apologized during the day, and came to her house at night, the door was tied and knocked open, even if he was looking for a wife and concubine to sleep, he wouldn't bring such a diligent person to the door, right?

Fan Qinghe wanted to close the door quickly, but he felt that it was meaningless, so he hugged his chest and said with shame:

"You...... Here you go again! You're ...... like that again."

"No, no, I ...... I just saw that Miss Fan drank too much, so I came to see if you were asleep...... Well...... Sorry, I'll go back to my room first. ”

The night terror hall was full of embarrassment, and after finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the main house, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Fan Qinghe hugged his chest and even felt a little aggrieved under his eyes, and he was secretly relieved after seeing the night terror hall honestly enter the house.

She closed the door and wanted to tie it, but she felt that if the Night Terror Hall really wanted to win it for her, she didn't say that it was useless to move outside the city.

What if he touches it again tomorrow night......

A good girl is afraid of pestering her, and she will have to get used to it sooner or later when she comes like this every night......

What can I do......

……
