Next Chapter

On the Shangyuan Festival, there is no curfew in Jinyang City, and the flowers in the market are as bright as day, and the lights reflect the hope of the New Year and the expectation of reunion.

The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk.

Since ancient times, most of the encounters between talented and beautiful women are the lanterns on the Shangyuan Festival, and the boudoir woman stepped out of the door, looking forward to meeting the suave talent and achieving a good story.

The young man changed into the most luxurious clothes, shook the folding fan gently, and had a graceful demeanor, hoping to meet the most lovely and gentle woman.

Suzaku Street, people come and go, shoulder to shoulder.

Thousands of households are lined with lanterns, ten miles of trees, the fragrance is slight, and the drums are noisy. Gradually, the sky is like water, and the moon is noon.

Fireworks rise suddenly, such as a thousand flowers, like blowing down stars like rain, BMW incense car, phoenix flute sound, jade pot light turn, night like day, fish and dragon night dance.

Jinyang is full of noise and excitement.

There is a majestic mansion like a dragon and a tiger in the north of Zhuque Street, which is the palace of the king of Jin.

On this night, the Jin Wangfu and the people are happy, the Lantern Festival, and they are happy.

There is a secluded bamboo garden in the depths of the palace, and a gentle woman in purple clothes with a beautiful face gently hugs a boy in a green shirt, with tears faintly in the corners of her eyes.

The young man in the green shirt asked with a confused face: "Mother, you are holding it too hard, I am almost out of breath." ”

The woman in purple quietly wiped a touch of crystal from the corner of her eyes, gently stroked the cheeks of the young man in green shirt with both hands, and said softly: "I won't let my mother hug my daughter-in-law before I marry my daughter-in-law, my mother is sad." ”

The young man in the green shirt gently hugged his mother's neck and said playfully: "I don't marry a daughter-in-law, I will live with my mother in this life." ”

The woman in purple smiled poignantly: "What I said now is not true, and when I grow up and marry my daughter-in-law, I will naturally forget my mother." ”

The young man in the green shirt stood up and stared at his mother's beautiful eyes, "I've grown up, and I can protect my mother." Dad said that I have the potential to become a great array master, and when I become a great array master, mother, no one will bully you anymore. ”

The woman in purple smiled sincerely, "Mother knows, she is naturally the most well-behaved." ”

The young man in the green shirt straightened his chest proudly, his eyes were bright, and he said in an old-fashioned manner: "Mother, I will go to the army with my father in the next year, you have to take care of yourself, don't let me worry." ”

The woman in purple stroked his little head with love, and said with a smile: "Fart bigger, pretend to be an adult, the young man should have the appearance of a young man, and the mother will naturally take care of herself, you have to promise the mother, no matter what happens in the future, you must live well." ”

The young man in the green shirt looked at his mother innocently, and nodded vigorously, he felt that he had grown up like a man now, foaming at the mouth and nailing, and talking counted.

The purple-clothed woman's eyes were gloomy and her heart was heavy.

The young man in green shirt was lying on the window, looking at the fireworks outside the window, the sound of firecrackers was endless, and he couldn't hold back his inner impatience, and asked eagerly: "Mother, when will we go out to see the lanterns, I still want to guess the lantern riddles, I guessed a lot of lantern riddles last year, and many sisters praised me for being smart." ”

The woman in purple lost her mind for a while, suddenly came to her senses, and said gently: "Okay, let's go out." ”

The woman in purple took out a black hat from the closet, covered her beautiful face, brought some gold and silver jewelry, and went out to enjoy the lanterns together.

The young man in the green shirt didn't know why his mother wore a hat, and in previous years, his mother didn't see her wearing a hat when she went out, but a trace of doubt was fleeting, for an eight-year-old boy, no matter how big things were, it was not as important as going out to play.

The woman in purple got into the carriage, and no one under the hood saw her beautiful eyes, and she was ecstatic at first sight.

The lights were bright, and only a full moon hung in the sky, and no dim stars could be seen when looking up. The joy of the city and the loneliness of the sky disappeared in an instant, and the dreams were chaotic, as if the sky was changing, and the clear night sky was full of dark clouds.

The dream flows, the perspective flies up from the ground, straight into the sky, overlooking the high pond of Jinyang City, stretching for fifteen miles from east to west, and ten miles wide from north to south, it is worthy of being the largest city in the north of the Central Plains.

Outside the Fengtai Gate of Jinyang City, it is the world-famous Jin State Guards Iron Cavalry Station, a black-armored general who looks only thirty years old galloped into the barracks, and the black dog flag was printed outside the barracks and fluttered in the wind.

In the military tent, all the generals were standing, and the black armor general had a gloomy face, and said sternly: "The black dog battalion listens to the order, arrests two Southern Tang spies, and once the whereabouts are discovered, the law will be corrected on the spot." ”

The black armor general is Li Tianxuan, the son of the King of Jin.

Xu Yougong is Li Tianmiao's confidant general, and he took the lead and said loudly: "The last general will take the order." ”

Although the Black Dog Battalion is Li Tianqiao's army, the army needs a tiger talisman for army mobilization, and if there is no tiger talisman, it will be regarded as a rebellion, and the generals in the tent will have their own doubts.

Li Tianmiao snorted coldly, and took out a tiger talisman from his sleeve, and the generals immediately dissipated their doubts, and they received orders one after another. The portrait of the spy is a beautiful woman in purple and a young man in green shirt.

The young man in the green shirt took his mother's hand and got off the carriage together, the maid Chun Tao served left and right, although the groom was dressed as a servant, but the pace was steady, the breathing was long, and he looked like a person who practiced martial arts with good skills.

The woman in purple led the young man in green shirt into the flow of people, and the maid Chun Tao wanted to support her, but the woman in purple refused politely, so she could only follow behind silently.

The young man in the green shirt looked at the lantern in amazement, and said excitedly: "Mother, there was no such style of heron lantern last year, it is a new style, it is really beautiful." ”

The young man in the green shirt looked at the crowds on the Phoenix Lake in the distance, and he could vaguely hear the sound of the young man struggling to solve the riddle, but whenever there was an extremely difficult riddle to solve, he would receive the praise of many young girls. The young man in the green shirt tugged at the corner of his mother's clothes, and said happily: "Mother, Phoenix Lake is so lively, let's go over together, I guessed a lot of riddles over there last year." ”

The woman in purple was silent, squatted down, hugged the young man with flowers in her eyes, and whispered: "Naturally, you have to listen carefully to what I say next, don't be nervous, don't panic." ”

The young man was shocked by his mother's sudden words, and was just about to turn his head, but his mother held his head, and a familiar voice came from behind his ears, "Naturally, don't turn your head, we're going to run for your life, wait for your mother to pull your hand hard, you have to follow your mother closely, don't make a sound, don't look around, and follow your mother all the time." Did you understand? ”

The boy looked dazed, but he understood, and nodded slightly.

The woman in purple slowly stood up, and continued to hold her son's hand as if nothing had happened, looking at the lantern and guessing the lantern riddle. The young man's state of mind was completely broken, he didn't know what was going on, why did his mother take him to escape, although he was not treated well in the Jin Wangfu, but he didn't have to worry about his life, not to mention that he would be able to enter the army immediately, once he became a big formation division and made great achievements, then he could open the house alone, take his mother over, and let her enjoy the blessings.

The young man felt the secret signal of his mother coming from his hand, and the weak mother had such a huge strength, and he felt very painful. The mother smiled back, the young man blinked, the purple-clothed woman's palms were soaked with sweat, and she held her son's hand tightly, for fear that his immature little hand would slip off in her hand. She was weak, but in order for her son to survive, she had to be strong and had to take risks.

Suddenly, the woman in purple quickened her pace, one big and one small rushed into the crowded crowd, the maid Chun Tao was attracted by the lantern and lost her mind slightly, and suddenly found that the master was gone, afraid that the master would encounter danger, and the loud shouts could not be answered, so anxious that tears suddenly rained down.

The master is very good to herself, and she has never scolded herself, and she has always remembered this kindness. She rushed into the crowd in a panic, at a loss.

The woman in purple bit her lip tightly and walked through the sea of people into an unknown alley, she knew that whether she could have a glimmer of life depended on whether she could escape the eyes of the king's servants at this moment. She is afraid of the dark anymore, she is no longer afraid of the dark, she can't wait for the alley to be darker, she is no longer weak, she picked up her exhausted son and shuttled through the alley.

Suddenly, a dark shadow flashed around the corner of the alley, and a sword light suddenly appeared, and the long sword was against her throat.

The woman in purple wanted to cry, and tried her best to escape the cage of the palace after all, she collapsed to the ground, hugged the young man in green shirt and cried bitterly.

The black shadow is a coachman, and he has been guarding the mother and son all these years, and his words are cold, without a trace of emotion: "Master, why did you want to run away with your son?"

The woman in purple hugged her son tightly, and Chu Chu said pitifully: "That's it, it's all death anyway, we also have a companion on the road, not alone." ”

The coachman returned his sword to the sheath and wondered, "Who wants to kill Madame?"

The woman in purple shook her head and sighed heavily, "What's the use of saying it, I'm just a pariah, a mayfly that can erase life in the queen's eyes." ”

The coachman respectfully hugged his fists and said: "I have served the palace for twenty years, only the eight years of serving the master are the happiest time of my life, as far as the palace is concerned, I am just a humble second-grade dead soldier, and if I die, no one will remember me more." However, in the past eight years, only the master has treated me like a relative, and the son has treated me like an elder. ”

The woman in purple gently stroked her son's soft long hair, and said sadly: "The queen stole the tiger talisman, His Royal Highness the prince is transferring troops to arrest two spies, one is me, the other is natural, the charges and evidence are ready, just waiting to kill us, throw the evidence of the crime on us, we are just mortals, the prince will only ask at most when he comes back, like two dead pets sad for a few days, and will not say much." You know what's at stake, how can I trust you?"

The young man in the green shirt had slightly red eyes, and muttered: "Why did the eldest mother and the eldest brother kill us? Obviously, I am no longer a useless waste, I can become a formation master, and I can contribute to the palace, mother, why is this?"

The woman in purple's eyes were gentle, clear as water, "Naturally obedient, don't cry, it's they who want to kill their mother, and it has nothing to do with nature." ”

The coachman knelt down on one knee and said sincerely: "If you are alone, you will die." Please believe that Madame will do her best to protect the safety of Madame and Son. ”

The beautiful woman in purple moved her eyes slightly, hesitating.

The young man in the green shirt struggled to get up from his mother's arms, and gave the coachman a deep look, "Uncle Tie's great grace, naturally unforgettable in this life." ”

The young man's eyes were wise, he looked at the lonely full moon in the sky, and said softly: "Mother, I believe in Uncle Tie." ”

The beautiful woman nodded, she didn't know why her son could know the kindness and malice of people's hearts since he was a child, maybe he had developed the ability to be cautious and observe words and emotions in the intrigue of the palace, she didn't think much about it, and it was not a bad thing to know people's hearts well.

The coachman's surname is Tie, and his name is Liangshan.

The coachman picked up the young man in the green shirt and looked for a place to stay in the alleys of Jinyang City under the cover of the night.

Tie Liangshan settled the mother and son in a dilapidated house in the alley, went out to buy food alone, and took the opportunity to buy dry food by the way to inspect the city gate, and saw the wanted warrants of his wife and son from a distance, and it seemed that it was impossible to get out of the city in a short time. Madame is smart, last night to deduce, Madame knew that the only way to survive was to wait for the prince to return from patrolling, and explain the reason to the prince in person to have a glimmer of life, but the queen was reprimanded by the prince at most, and the lady and the prince really became a thorn in the eye of the queen and His Royal Highness.

Tie Liangshan sighed and felt pity for his wife.

Yu Tieliang Mountain didn't know where to go, and the "Yellow Sparrow" of the Jin Kingdom had quietly targeted him.
