Part Forty-Seven: Knocking on the Night
Central Chapter 7 Knocking on the Night
Han Yue slept really comfortably and warmly. He has been cold since he was a child, and his hands and feet will be cold when the weather is a little cold, especially at night, and he is often awakened by freezing. I didn't expect to sleep so heavily today, maybe last night's wine did a trick, he thought. He closed his eyes and snorted lazily, turned over and tried to go back to sleep, but his arm was on something, he raised his eyelids to see something, only to find a back facing him. There was a person still lying down.
Han Yue opened his eyes suddenly, it was Xiahou Yi! He was lying on his side, his tall body blocking himself tightly in the bed. Then I touched the quilt on my body, it was thick and clear, not my own bed. It turned out that he was actually sleeping on Xiahou Yi's bed, and he was still in a bed! Could it be that last night, the two of us slept together? Han Yue hurriedly touched his body, fortunately, wearing a middle coat.
Xiahou Yi's bed was very large, but he only occupied half of it sideways, leaving most of it to Han Yue. No wonder I slept so soundly, it turned out that someone was warm. Xiahou Yi seemed to be still asleep, and Han Yue gently withdrew his arm, not daring to move anymore.
At this time, I heard a soft knock on the door, and it seemed that someone had come in, and then I smelled a faint smell of fireworks, and it turned out that someone had come to add charcoal to the fire. He held his breath for fear someone would find out. He closed his eyes, hoping that Xiahou Yi would be woken up, and hurriedly got up and went out first.
Xiahou Yi's soft voice sounded in his ears: "Gather the fire, I'll sleep again." I heard the maid whisper: "Shaosi, that Luochuan son, it seems that he is not in bed." "Let him be, maybe go for a walk." Han Yue hid in the quilt and didn't dare to move, it seems that he thought I hadn't woken up yet, Han Yue thought to herself, and heard the sound of the door closing.
Since he was awake, it would be a little uncomfortable to keep a position for a long time, Han Yue wanted to turn over, but he really didn't want Xiahou Yi to know that he was awake. Since he said he wanted to sleep a little longer, why don't I wait for him to fall asleep, and I will secretly get up? Han Yue could only wait patiently for Xiahou to fall asleep. However, it was really warm in the quilt, and Han Yue closed his eyes, waiting and waiting for himself to fall asleep. Xiahou Yi helped him quietly pull the quilt up with his backhand.
A good "phoenix is still warm, and the cage parrot is still sleeping".
After staring in a daze, Han Yue heard Alu's voice sound: "Young Division, the elder asks you to come over immediately." Hearing this, Xiahou Yi suddenly uncovered the quilt and sat up, Han Yue felt a cool air in the quilt, and the cool air disappeared immediately, it seemed that Xiahou Yi had covered the quilt again. Han Yue heard the sound of him washing and changing, and he was very anxious. Then the sound of the door closing and leaving.
"Who is the Elder? Why is he so nervous every time he mentions the Elder? Now that he is out, I must hurry up, lest the maids come in and see me sleeping in the same bed. Han Yue thought to herself.
"How is your injury?" the tall Changyang Elder asked Xiahou Yi.
"It's fine. ”
"I heard that you went to Langya, Shandong, and where you were injured?" said one of Elder Wuji's heads
"Yes. ”
"Langya and I, Chen Liu, have always come to the well water and don't interfere with the river water, but you went to provoke them, why?" Elder Wuji asked in a loud voice.
"Returning to Elder, I went to Langya to find someone. ”
"Who are you looking for?" the ghostly Elder Weiyang's voice floated again.
"The one who knows the heavens. ”
"The person who knows the heavenly machine?!" Elder Changyang's eyes opened suddenly, and the four pupils stared at Xiahou Yi below, "What do you mean, there really is such a person?"
"The subordinates think that this person should be in Langya. ”
"Can you find it?"
"The subordinates are incompetent, and this time it failed. But the subordinates will go again. Xiahou replied truthfully.
"Don't worry, you take care of your injuries first. Even you are seriously injured, and Langya's strength cannot be underestimated. Be careful when you go again. Elder Changyang's voice softened a little and closed his eyes again, "By the way, I heard that Lingyuan Hall has been very lively recently. ”
Xiahou was shocked, but there was no expression on his face, and he still stood there with his hands down.
"You are old, we are also old, what you do, who you like, naturally we don't have to care, but don't forget your tasks and missions. Elder Changyang's words were majestic.
"The subordinates understand. Xiahou Yi felt relieved, it seemed that they only knew that they had brought an outsider back, and they didn't know Han Yue's identity, so it seemed that they could only heal Han Yue's hand as soon as possible and let him leave as soon as possible.
When Xiahou Yi went to see the elders, the doctor came over to check Han Yue's injuries and told him that he was recovering well and that the splint could be removed in two days. Han Yue was naturally happy, with this thing, not to mention, the activity was really inconvenient.
Seeing Xiahou Yi coming back, Han Yue told Xiahou Yi about dismantling the splint two days later.
"Something I've always wanted to ask you, why did you get the glazed heavy feather bead?"
"Liuli Heavy Feather Beads?" Xia Hou looked at Han Yue suspiciously.
"It's your secret weapon. It was a secret weapon specially made by Langya. Have you been to Langya?"
"Just looking for someone. Xiahou Yi didn't expect Han Yue to learn that he had been to Langya, Shandong through his hidden weapon.
"Looking for someone to find five glass heavy feather beads in a row, one of the ordinary people is already very painful. Did you go to the Langya headquarters? The Langya headquarters is full of dangers, and I have already regretted sending Yazi there before. If it weren't for Mr. Big who saved Miko, I would have regretted it for the rest of my life. Now that you are going again, how can you rest assured of me?" Han Yue was a little excited.
"Mr. Big, Cao Shi?"
"Ah Yi, promise me not to go to Langya. Han Yue blurted out for the first time and called him Ah Yi.
Obviously, Xiahou Yi was a little surprised by this title, he paused for a while and said, "Okay." Next time I go, I'll definitely take you with me. ”
"Are you really going to go?"
"I think the person I'm looking for may be the one you're looking for. Xiahou Yi wanted to say in his heart.
"In Langya Heavenly Prison, I saw a person. ”
"Who?"
"I don't know, just a strange figure. Xiahou remembered that day when he saw that person, before he approached his cell, he was hit by the trap, and remembered the scene in Langya Heavenly Prison, and his eyes flowed with coldness.
"What's the strange law?"
"I can't tell, just a glance, intuition. ”
Han Yue remembered that Mizi was also the poison in the prison, and couldn't help but think in his heart, I must personally explore this prison.
After dinner, Han Yue and Xiahou sat in the courtyard drinking tea. Han Yue likes this courtyard more and more, soaking in hot springs, climbing to the top of the mountain, smelling the morning dew, watching the residual snow, looking at the stars, and blowing the night lan. Moreover, no matter what you do, Xiahou Yi will be by your side.
"Greedy and cold, sit on the stones, and the wide clothes are chaotic and loose. The bamboo dark wind is wrong, and the water flows silently in the spring. The words of the people in the deep mountains fell, knocking on the night tea cooking. Han Yue made a poem in a loud voice.
"Want to play chess?" asked Xiahou.
"Will you?" Han Yue didn't expect Xiahou Yi to take the initiative to mention playing chess.
"A little. Xiahou Yi instructed the maid to go to the chess box.
Xiahou Yi's things are more elaborate than Han Yue's. The same goes for chess. The chessboard of red sandalwood is painted with silver grids, and the chess pieces are fine Gobi agate, which is round and clear, warm but not cold in the hand, moist but not slippery.
It can be seen from the words at the beginning that Xiahou Yi's chess skills are very ordinary, and he can only say that he can play. Thinking that he was very incompetent in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, Han Yue was not surprised, he didn't really want to play chess with him and compete with him, it was just a boring pastime.
As it fell, Han Yue felt a little cold, and her hands and feet began to be cold. He couldn't help but sigh at the chess player. Xiahou Yi seemed to see it, and he turned around and said something to the maid next to him. The maid turned to leave, and came back with two pieces of Qiu Yu and a wine jug in her hand, and she was still carrying a small and delicate Yangzhou hand stove between her fingers, she first handed the hand stove to Han Yue's hand, and then put a blue fox Qiu Yu on Han Yue, and then handed another sable coat to Xiahou Yi.
The hand stove is wrapped in a plain brocade cotton sleeve, which is warm but not hot, and there is a faint aroma of sandalwood. Han Yue said to the maid, "Thank you, you have thought thoughtfully." ”
The maid said, "It was prepared by the young master's orders, saying that the son has a cold disease and is afraid of the cold." ”
My hands are much warmer, but my feet are still cold. Han Yue's feet rubbed lightly under a few tables, but unexpectedly, Xiahou grabbed his ankle and immediately covered it between his legs.
Qiu Yu is thick, the hand stove is warm, the wine is also hot, and the hands and feet, including the heart, are warm. After two glasses of wine, Han Yue began to talk a lot.
"Ah, tomorrow we can finally remove the splint. Han Yue wrapped himself in the blue fox, dropped a son, smacked another sip of wine, and said lazily.
"Guess what I would most like to do with the splint removed?"
"I don't know. Xiahou stared intently at the chessboard with an expressionless face.
"I want to hug you. ”
Xiahou Yi heard him say this, the hand holding the chess piece shook, the maid standing next to him covered her mouth and chuckled, and Xiahou Yi hurriedly pretended to cough.
"Scaring you?" Han Yue smiled mischievously at Xiahou, looking a little embarrassed at him.
"I haven't compared your sword yet. After Han Yue quickly fell again, he looked up at the deep night sky, and his eyes flashed with a little light. His eyes were bright and amorous, different from Xiahou's slender and restrained phoenix eyes.
"I don't use a sword, I can't compare. Xiahou held the chess pieces seriously, as if he was thinking about where to land.
"yes, you don't use a sword. I remember the first time I fought you was at Jingxiang Restaurant, when you used a pipe. The second time you met was at Nenru Temple, and you were using chains at that time. Why haven't you seen your chains?" Han Yue's chess skills are naturally much higher than Xiahou Yi, and if he drops a son casually, Xiahou Yi will have to think for a long time. Playing chess is a supplement, and chatting is the main thing.
"Let me see your chains?"
Xiahou saw that Han Yue's mind was no longer on the chess game, and he couldn't play him anyway, so he simply pushed the chess pieces himself, so it was better to chat with him.
"Do you really want to see it?"
"Of course I really want to see it. Only by knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent can we not slack off. ”
Xiahou Yi stood up and shook off the sable coat draped over his shoulders, stretched out his hand and twitched it from the middle of his belt, and a silver light instantly swept into the night, like a silver snake spitting out its core, and then "snapped" in mid-air and shook out two crisp explosions, and then Xiahou slapped the table, flew up, and shook the chain in the air. The chains conjured several chain flowers in the air, and then turned their heads and slammed into the hot spring pool. I saw the chain into the dragon like a dragon spinning to drill the water surface, the milky white water surface was stirred out of a whirlpool, and then the chain was dragged up again, rolling up a milky white water column, Xiahou shook his hand again, the water column turned into a white mist flower in the night, very beautiful.
Han Yue had never seen such a trick with a chain, and although Miko also used a rope dart, it was far less beautiful than him. Han Yue was dumbfounded, and he couldn't help muttering to himself: "If you use this kind of kung fu to practice lotus flowers, it must be infinitely powerful." The maid next to her exclaimed even more.
When Xiahou returned to the table, the chain was already obediently wrapped in his hand.
"My sword is still with my uncle, otherwise I will definitely have to compete with you. "Han Yue has wanted to fight with Xiahou for a long time, and he thought about it when he was in Nengru Temple.
"After more than a month, I don't know where they are now. It seems that the most important thing to do is to find them first. Only then did Han Yue remember that he still had a vote of his partners who were born and died.
"Agreed for three months. "Three months is too short, and Xiahou Yi hopes that Han Yue will never be returned to them.
"Three months is too long, and I'll be fine right away. We still have a lot of work to do. Although the headquarters sent an envoy from Langya to arrest Mizi, after all, he did not continue to pursue responsibility. Seven sons in one day and chess pieces for life. Han Yue sighed.
The last sentence was very sad, and Xiahou Yi felt sour in his heart, he was a chess piece, why wasn't he a chess piece? At least they were still a group of seven sons, and he could only fight alone.
"It's okay ... He thought to himself: It's okay, it just so happens that I also have a lot of things to do, and I don't feel at ease if I leave you here.
"What kind of place is Chen Liu?" Han Yue's topic suddenly changed.
"Huh?" Xiahou looked at Han Yue suspiciously.
"Dian Wei is a native of Chenliu, and the Han and Wei dynasties also sealed the country in Chenliu. And when I was in a coma that day, I vaguely heard that I was going to be sent to Chenliu. If you really sent me to Chenliu, then this underground palace should also be in Chenliu. ”
"Do you have any other questions?" Xiahou took out a brocade bag, twisted out a pinch of tobacco leaves, stuffed it into the smoke pot, lit a bag of cigarettes, and took a puff into the distance. Since Han Yue came, he rarely smoked, especially in the house, he was always afraid of choking Han Yue.
"Absolutely. What does this dungeon do? And you, I thought you were the same as us, looking for Cao Cao's tomb and the Yin Soldier Talisman. ”
"Is it the same as you?" Xia Hou raised his eyebrows, the corners of his mouth slightly curled, and looked at Han Yue.
"It doesn't look like it anymore. You are the young master of the underground palace, and we are just one of the many killers in the Langya headquarters. Han Yue suddenly felt a little inferior.
"Is there really a Yin Soldier Talisman that can summon a million Yin soldiers?"
"And the Nether Ship that the Palm is investigating, isn't it yours?"
"Those people from the Xia family in Jingzhou, are they related to you?"
"Last time you said that the Runeng Temple was a stone practice, what kind of stone did you practice?"
"Also, you went down again, otherwise you wouldn't have asked Mr. Big to bring me the fireflies. Didn't you find something again?"
"Also, what does it mean to be like those birds and insects in the temple stone room?"
"And Mr. Huainan Mansion, why does the King of Huainan value him so much?"
"If he is the person of the king of Huainan, why should he dissect the daughter of the king of Huainan and take the pearls?"
"That Huainan Wang County Lord, is it a dead person or a living person?"
"What is your relationship with Mr. Big?"
"Why would he help us?"
"But why are you helping us?"
Han Yue's questions were like a series of cannons, and when he asked a question, he took a sip of wine and tilted his head to think about it. The faster I asked, the less I drank. Han Yue understood that instead of asking Xiahou Yi questions, it was better to sort himself out.
"Finished asking?" Xia Hou finished smoking a bag of cigarettes and knocked the ashes of his cigarettes, he obviously didn't intend to answer any of Han Yue's questions.
"And one last question: Why do you have scales on your body, and do you have tattoos like dragons or snakes?"
"Sleep! Remove the splint tomorrow. Xiahou Yi stood up, dragged Han Yue hard, and dragged him back to the house.
