Part 58 Before the Night Battle

Speechless all the way.

As soon as they stepped into the gate of the Lingyuan Palace, the attendants immediately closed all the doors and windows of the Lingyuan Hall and guarded the surroundings. Xiahou Yi walked straight to the courtyard at the back, and Han Yue and Alu had to stand behind him, and no one spoke.

Xiahou Yi stood under the corridor of the courtyard with his hands behind his back. Han Yue looked sideways at his face, the straight bridge of his nose and thin cheekbones outlined a cold outline, his brows frowned slightly, and a pair of slender eyes, staring into the distance half-closed,

The sky in the courtyard was not dark yet, and his eyes should still be in a state of half-vision, Han Yue thought. During this time, I don't know if it was because of his injuries, or because of Xiahou's presence, Han Yue gradually developed the problem of not liking to think deeply. Although at this time his heart is more anxious than anyone else.

I don't know how long I stood there, an hour, or an hour, and the sky darkened, and a cold moon that was almost full hung faintly on the mountaintops.

The two maids brought a large brazier and placed it under the porch, and the brazier was very vigorous, and the flames were burrowing among the gray coals, and from time to time they burst out of the old high. Another maid held two fur fur and gently draped Han Yue with the purple long-haired fur, and Han Yue nodded in thanks. She stuffed another gray squirrel brocade robe to Aru, and pouted, Aru held the robe and didn't move, and no one dared to go up to disturb the young secretary.

Finally, Xiahou tilted his head slightly in the direction of the charcoal fire, and it was the first time he had made a move after standing for so long, and Aru carefully draped his robe over his shoulders.

"It's cold, let's go inside. It seems that this was said to Han Yue.

"Don't be embarrassed, I'll save it myself. ”

"There are some things that I have to do after all. A chill flashed in Xiahou's slender eyes.

Xiahou didn't even eat dinner with Han Yue, and he never saw him come out after he entered the room. Han Yue didn't bother, after all, she was in a messy mood. In this mysterious underground palace, he can't act rashly, let alone be emotional, for himself, for his brother, and even for Xiahou.

Xiahou Yi has done a lot from last night to dawn. For the sake of Han Yue, he had to advance the plan many years in advance, and he only had one day and one night from reformulation to implementation. If you want to save them, you can only make a dangerous move.

Time is pressing, whether he can succeed, he is not completely sure, but he said to himself: not successful, but must not fail.

He didn't close his eyes all night, deducing every part of the plan in his mind over and over again, anticipating the unexpected that would come. If Cao Ji was here, the odds would have been much greater, but now he could only rely on himself. He decided to write a secret letter to Cao Ji, although when Cao Ji, who was far away in Chang'an, saw the letter, things had already happened, whether they had succeeded or failed, but it was necessary for him to tell him.

After doing all this, it was almost dawn.

Xiahou asked someone to fetch a large bucket of water from the ice well, and the mountain spring in late autumn was even cooler to the bone. He immersed his whole body in the water, and the biting chill made him shiver, and the muscles of his whole body tensed quickly. He took a deep breath, and as soon as his body sank, he simply buried his head in the water, his long silver hair spreading out in the water, and the blood vessels in his head constricted as if they were bursting. He needs to keep himself awake all day. He didn't get up until he felt his whole body being frozen in cold water, and until he was sure that he was completely sleepy.

There was no one else in the room, and he looked in the mirror, slowly wiping his body red from the cold. When he touched the scales and tattoos, his hand stopped, and a smile appeared on his lips. Since he was a child, he felt that he was ugly, an alien, and a monster, so he was abandoned in this dark underground palace. Until he met Han Yue, there was a beautiful person who would be obsessed with himself and these ugly things that made him feel beautiful for the first time. Beauty and ugliness are twin flowers in themselves, like love and hate.

There are a total of twenty-four attendants in the Lingyuan Palace, plus Aru, who rarely see all of them in normal times. When Han Yue walked into the main hall, these people had now been summoned here, and they were standing with their hands down. The aunt who rarely comes over is also there at this time, combing Xiahou's hair. Her hair, like a silver waterfall, flowed between her aunt's plump fingers. Four maids waited on the sidelines. This battle was the first time Han Yue had seen it. A hint of unease crossed his mind.

Xiahou Yi didn't look back at Han Yue, he straightened up, and was whispering something through the reflection of the mirror. Everyone's face was solemn. Han Yue didn't come closer.

After arranging, Aru withdrew with his attendants. Xiahou Yi's braids were also combed, and Aunt E asked the maids to bring over a few sets of clothes. Aunt E picked up a blue background silver dragon pattern gown, shook it open and wanted to change it for Xiahou Yi, but Xiahou Yi said softly: "Come and see, which one should I wear today?" When Aunt E saw Han Yue, her face showed a hint of embarrassment, and she retracted her hand holding the clothes.

Han Yue glanced at his clothes: "The red one." "Xiahou Di hardly wears bright colors, he is often very elegant, mostly lilac. But the colors of the clothes prepared today are very bright, and the blue one chosen by Aunt E is already plain. Hearing Han Yue say to choose red, Xiahou Yi said, "Okay, it's red." ”

The scarlet bottom is embroidered with gold, which is a carp jumping into the door, and the shoulders and elbows are embroidered with a large golden wave pattern, and the neckline and cuffs are inlaid with apricot-colored piping, which does not look eye-catching. I don't know if I can jump over this dragon gate today.

After changing clothes, Xiahou Yi said, "Aunt E's hard work", and made a gesture to send off the guest, Aunt E's was not good to stay here anymore, so she had to give a gift and leave. Just as Aunt E turned around and walked out of the main hall, Xiahou glanced at the maids, who nodded and went out. Only Xiahou Yi and Han Yue were left in the main hall.

"Today, I'm sending you away. Xiahou said.

"Why? I have to save them. Han Yue didn't expect Xiahou Yi to say such a sentence, and he began to get angry.

"You're not completely healed from your broken arm. You are not familiar with the situation in the dungeon. Rushing to save people will only lead to death. Moreover... You're here, I'm going to be distracted. Xiahou Yi's voice suddenly became smaller.

"Trust me, I'll save them. Xiahou raised his voice again, put his hand on Han Yue's shoulder, and squeezed it hard.

"How are you going to save them?" Han Yue felt the firmness and strength coming from his shoulders.

Xiahou Yi didn't answer, just lowered his head slightly, stared at Han Yue's face, and was reluctant to leave for a moment. After tonight, he didn't know if he would see him again.

"Shoshi. There was a maid's call behind him, and Xiahou Yi and Han Yue each took a step back.

"It's done?" asked Xiahou Yi, turning around. The two maids dragged a person outside the palace gate, Han Yue felt that the color of the clothes was a little familiar, was it a woman?

The two of them walked towards the man, and a maid turned over the man's body, and it was actually Aunt E! Aunt E's frightened eyes were open, her face was pale, and the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and she was completely breathless. Han Yue asked in surprise, "Who did this!" Xiahou squatted down, touched her neck, and said calmly, "I." Han Yue's eyes widened: "You... He looked at the two maids again, they usually laughed and lived, but today they would become murderers, and they killed people who cared for and loved Ah Yi.

"Before I ignored the elders who told you about your existence. But today, I can't go wrong anymore. Xiahou Yi's voice was calm and indifferent, as if it was not Aunt E lying on the ground.

"Dispose of it. Xiahou waved his hand, and the two maids dragged the body away.

"Ah Yi, even if she was sent by the elders, you shouldn't have killed her. Han Yue still couldn't accept it for a while.

"Death is not necessarily a bad thing. You go and pack up and see you off in an hour. The tone was soft, but it was a command. Today, Xiahou Yi is the king, and any of his words and deeds are beyond doubt.

When Alu sent Han Yue away, Xiahou Yi did not appear. Han Yue felt a little lost in her heart, and she was more worried.

A very long and dark secret passage, Han Yue followed Aru for an unknown amount of time. The exit turned out to be a stinking stable. They were greeted by an old man and a young man. Aru bowed respectfully to the old man: "Please, old man." ”

The old man returned the salute: "General Lu rest assured." We will do a good job of what the young secretary has explained. ”

Aru turned to Han Yue again: "Childe, they will send you to Luoyang." ”

Luoyang?Han Yue thought he would send him to Chenliu.

Aru seemed to see Han Yue's doubts and explained, "The master said that Chen Liu's safety is not safe, so it is better to send it to General Zhang." ”

That's right, Zhangli is stationed in Luoyang, and I forgot that this Ah Yi would actually think of him. Thinking of this, Han Yue smiled bitterly, and then instructed Alu: "Alu, I don't know what he is going to do, but I must protect him." ”

Aru nodded. After watching Han Yue's carriage go away, he once again entered the secret passage of the stable.
