Chapter 16: Prison Break
Lu Ning grabbed him stiffly and persuaded, "Childe, don't be impulsive!" ”
Meng Changge calmed down at this time, at this time it was on the cusp, if he came forward to save Luo Ying, then Luo Ying's hard work before would be in vain. But Luo Ying couldn't help it, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly had an idea, so he asked Lu Ning to come over and give a few words.
When Lu Ning heard this, he hesitated, "Childe, is this really okay?" ”
Meng Changge said in a deep voice, "This is a way out of the way, let's give it a try!" ”
Just when Luo Ying thought that she had no way out, she saw smoke not far away, and people shouted, "Oh no, the armory is on fire, go and put out the fire!" ”
At this time, a team of guards came over, and it was Lu Ning who led the team, and said in a loud voice, "It's just a female prisoner, and there are still so many people, just leave a few people, and the others and I will go to fight the fire, and there are elite weapons in the army." ”
Hearing him say this, many guards had to withdraw, and Lu Ning also mixed his own people among the few people left, and deliberately sold a flaw for Luo Ying to let her break through. On the tall building of the headquarters, Meng Changge stared at the figure and stumbled out the back door, his hanging heart did not let go, but was mixed with joy, "Ah Ying, the road ahead will depend on you, and I don't know when we can meet again?" ”
In the vast night, it seemed that she had returned to the night of the escape five years ago, but no one was with her at this time. Luo Ying fled to a dark alley and could no longer support it, in fact, she had already been shot just now, and it was already the limit to barely get here. She sat down slowly against the wall, feeling her life slowly disappear with the blood flowing from her ribs, and she closed her eyes slightly, allowing herself to fall into the infinite darkness.
When she opened her eyes again, Luo Ying found herself in a strange but somewhat familiar place, the bullets on her body had been taken out, and they had been bandaged, and her clothes had been changed. At this time, a woman walked in, Luo Ying hurriedly grabbed her, but accidentally pulled the wound, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
Luo Ying asked urgently, "What is this place, who saved me?" ”
But the woman stretched out her hand and gestured, and it turned out to be a mute girl. Luo Ying had to get out of bed by herself to find the answer, and when she walked out, she finally knew why this place made her feel familiar. This is the courtyard behind the Splendid Palace, which is dedicated to housing some people who work in it and have not found a place to live. When she and her brother first came to the Splendid Palace, they lived here.
At this time, Luo Ying saw Song Yushan and Song Sanye at the gate of the courtyard, so she walked over and saluted politely and asked, "Thank you Song Sanye for saving your life." ”
Song Sanye looked at her and said with a smile, "Why don't you even dare to report your name, we have known each other after all." ”
Luo Ying was a little embarrassed, "Song Sanye still remembers me?" ”
Song Sanye sighed, "I couldn't save your brothers and sisters five years ago, and now I have saved you, which can be regarded as making up for the regrets of the day." ”
Luo Ying lowered her head and said, "Since Third Master Song recognized me, he must also know what happened to me, if I stay here, I'm afraid it will involve you." ”
"Child, since I saved you, I naturally want to save you." Song Sanye looked at her, "From now on, you have to be incognito to save your life!" ”
Luo Ying nodded, but she didn't know that Meng Changge had been looking for her for a long time, but she only found a corner of her clothes and a pool of blood in that alley. Because of her escape, the murder case became an unsolved case. Meng Changge changed his name to Nangong Qingduo and officially succeeded him as the commander of the thirteen provinces of Jiangdong, and although Nangong Qingming failed to seize power, he colluded with his cousin Chief of Staff Li and co-opted part of Nangong Qingzhao's forces, and there was a faint tendency to fight against Nangong Qingduo.
A month later, Luo Ying's injuries were almost recovered, and when she was about to leave the Splendid Palace, she heard a commotion in front of her. She asked the mute girl what had happened, and the mute girl pulled her to the gate of the courtyard, just in time to see the dressing room in the background. The mute girl gestured and told her that it was a dancer who was injured, but there was a performance tonight, and now there is no one to replace her, so she is in a hurry!
At this time, the mute girl looked at Luo Ying and dragged her to the dressing room. Nie Yun, who was leading the dance, saw her, his eyes lit up, and then he remembered Song Sanye's instructions that he must not reveal the news of this woman in the Splendid Palace, and he was suddenly in trouble. Luo Ying saw everyone's embarrassed expressions, thinking that she had lived here for nothing for a month, and she should help, so she proposed, "Sister Nie Yun, I can go on top, but I can't bring a mask, after all, I don't want to be known that I'm here!" ”
Song Sanye told the people of the Splendid Palace that Luo Ying was a fugitive concubine from a powerful family, and she was still related to herself. Song Sanye has always been righteous, so everyone is willing to help conceal it, and now Nie Yun saw that she could be on top, and felt that this method could be used, so he immediately agreed, and happily pulled her to rehearsal.
When it came to the evening performance, Luo Ying was very nervous, although she had only practiced for an afternoon, she had the foundation of martial arts and quickly adapted to everyone's rhythm. Towards the end of the dance, a dancer accidentally walked in the wrong place, and the people behind did not react, but stepped forward and stepped on her high heels, and the dancer stumbled and knocked down the rose vase placed on the side of the stage.
The audience in the audience are all famous figures in the city, Luo Ying didn't want to smash the signboard of the Splendid Palace, so she hurriedly jumped up, supported the dancing girl, and took advantage of the situation to swing the vase back with a beautiful maneuver, and picked up the roses inside and inserted them in the hair of the dancer, and the whole action was done in one go, like a cloud and water in the same way.
Nie Yun reacted very quickly, and then showed her dress, her delicate face and roses reflected each other, and all the dancers also tacitly cooperated with her, and made a perfect curtain call together, which attracted applause from the audience. And Luo Ying's graceful posture just now, wearing a black dance skirt, coupled with the black mask on her face, added a bit of mystery, and suddenly someone shouted, "Zorro Rose, Zorro Rose!" ”
Then many people stood up and shouted this title, which suddenly made Luo Ying a little at a loss. Nie Yun pinched her hand and whispered, "Silly girl, this is praising you!" ”
Luo Ying looked at the enthusiastic audience a little blankly, but found that there was a familiar figure sitting in a corner not far away-Shen Yunqi, and the person opposite him was Nangong Qingming.
Seeing that she was suddenly distracted, Nie Yun thought she was overjoyed, and immediately patted her, "Okay, we're leaving." ”
Luo Ying immediately retracted her gaze, and as everyone retreated to the backstage, the doubts in her heart became bigger and bigger: How could Shen Yunqi have a relationship with Nangong Qingming? What are the two discussing?
Many guests wanted to invite Luo Ying to dance together, but Luo Ying didn't want to cause trouble for herself. Nie Yun teased her, "Do you have a crush on which son, then you should take the initiative to find him!" ”
Luo Ying took it seriously and asked her, "Sister Nie Yun, can I invite someone to dance by myself?" ”
Nie Yun was stunned by her question, and said with a smile, "Of course whoever you fancy can invite him, but if he is rejected, it will be embarrassing." ”
Luo Ying had an idea in her heart, changed into a red gauze dance dress with a very narrow waist, sorted out her mask, and walked out of the backstage after making sure that it was firm. She tried her best to imitate the graceful walking posture of those dancing girls, and came to Shen Yunqi and Nangong Qingming.
