Chapter 18: The Night Feast Disperses

Back at the pavilion, the palm hat told everyone to rest early and continue to visit the tomb tomorrow morning. When he returned to the room, he lay on the bed but did not feel sleepy, turned over and got out of bed, picked up the iron sword, took out the jade on the sword spike, and stared at it for a long time. When he heard Luo Chuanjun's name tonight, he was already destined not to be calm.

It's been seven years since he said goodbye to Jishan, and Han Yue went to Jiankang to look for him in the middle, but he avoided it, because he didn't dare to see it and had no shame to see it, at that time he was already committed to Princess Xuan, how to face the young man like ice jade again. Han Yue only left some herbs and recipes, saying that they could dispel the poison of the five stones. The two were never in touch again.

Come to think of it, Han Yue has grown taller and matured a lot now. Did he marry a wife and have children? Are you still living in seclusion in Keishan? Although Luoyang is only more than 200 miles away from Keishan, he has been stationed there for three years and has never been there. The more I thought about it, the more sober I became, so I simply pushed the door and went out of the house. I took a deep breath of the cool air of the autumn night, and I felt that the whole person was penetrated a lot.

Seeing Wang Shao in the courtyard dressed in white, holding a hand behind his back, looking up at the starry sky, the autumn wind gently blowing up the wide placket, and his back was very much like Luo Chuanjun that night. Hearing the footsteps, Wang Shao saw that it was a palm hat, so he said softly: "You are here too." Palm snorted. The two of them just stood side by side and looked at the night sky. After a long time, the two of them opened their mouths and asked, "You... The voice was dumb and laughed again, and the palm of the hat said: "Jing Lunjun, please speak." "Brother Zeshang, please. ”

"You, acquaintance with Luo Chuanjun?" asked Zhangka

"He's mine... Wang Shao paused, "Dear friend." ”

"Oh... Friend... The word "" was repeated by the palm hat.

Among the sons of the family, the word "best friend" has two meanings, one is a very good friend, and the other is an obscure expression for the destined person. said that the two are close friends, and most of them are the kind that can meet each other. Zhang Li's heart was awkward for a while, but after thinking about it, he had no reason and qualification to be jealous of Wang Shao.

"Thank you for your help tonight. Wang Shao thought that the palm hat was helping him.

"Have you known each other for a long time?" Zhang Li wanted to know a little more about Han Yue's recent situation from Wang Shao's mouth

"We met more than three years ago, but then I heard that he had traveled all over the world, and I haven't heard from him since. ”

When I heard that I had only known each other for three years, Zhang Lia was a little self-blaming, if he hadn't avoided it, maybe there would have been nothing to do with Wang Shao later.

"I don't know why this little boy is pretending to be Luo Chuanjun tonight. Brother Zhang, if you have a chance, you should ask him carefully. Wang Shao had something to say.

"Naughty. Palmsa blushed a little as he remembered the baby face staring at him.

Wang Shao didn't speak again, took out a short flute, put it to his lips and blew it gently. He played Kong Zhongni's "Returning to the Mountain", looking at the mountain and cherishing the meaning of exercise. Zhang Li stared at Wang Shao's side face, only to realize that he was really a little similar to Han Yue, who also played the short flute that night after being drunk. The short flute also seems to be familiar. After he finished blowing, he asked, "This flute is very chic." "Well, he sent it. "Luo Chuan-kun sent it?" "Hmm. When the palm hat heard this, he was a little unhappy, and gave me a jade fish, a short flute, and I don't know how many people and things he has given away. He didn't dare to say the words "something in love", after all, Han Yue didn't say anything reasonable, and he didn't promise him. Maybe Han Yue just gave them up casually, but the people who received the gifts regarded them as treasures. He sighed to himself.

Luo Zi and the others followed Mizi, turning around, and returned to the Huaiwang Mansion again, but this time it was the forest behind the Huaiwang Mansion. A few people crouched in the dark, and Miko whispered, "Look at the edge of the forest. The crowd looked closely, and found that there were several short black shadows with shadows.

"Anyone?" the uncle asked

"Well, it's the guy I hurt the night before. Yazi said, "When I was squatting here with the gully, I realized that these people had been lying in ambush all night. It is estimated that it has been there all the time, waiting to snipe people coming in and out of the backyard. ”

"What's so weird?" asked Lhotse.

"It doesn't feel like it's human. Yako's words surprised everyone. "It's just a gut feeling. ”

"Why don't you just catch one and see?" said the gully.

"Not today. Lhotse stopped, "Come back another day." "What he means is that now that the night banquet has just ended, there must be many people in Huaifu, and now it is bound to attract more reinforcements. The five disappeared into the night again.

Back in the courtyard by the Huaishui, everyone was not in a hurry to rest, and gathered in the main hall again.

There was nothing unusual about Miko and Gully except for the discovery of someone lying in ambush in the back mountain forest.

Here, Mengzi told the two of them about the fake red-clothed Luo Chuan and the fight that happened at the night banquet. While talking, he peeked at Lhotse, who had removed the beard and disguise from his face at this time, and the uncle poured water and asked Lhotse to wash his face. Lhotse regained her stunning beauty, but the look on her face became colder.

When he heard that Zhang Li and Zhang Xiao were not weak in martial arts, he was a little excited and said, "You guys are so lively over there, and there is good wine to drink." Bitterly, the two of us squatted in the cold field and starved. By the way, what are the names of those two and where do they live, I will definitely meet them another day. ”

"Qianliang, Xiongnu, Xianbei, Hu, Karma. Lhotse waited for Mengzi to finish telling the story and said quietly.

"What do you mean, the secret guest in the backyard is from the north?" The uncle asked, since Zhang Xiao said that he was from Liangzhou, then Luo Zi could roughly guess where the clothes of several attendants in the courtyard came from.

"Coupled with Liu Chong's former Zhao relics, wouldn't all the northern countries have come together. Uncle said.

"Mystery Keqing, perhaps. Lhotse said. His guess is not unreasonable, since Liu Chong is so respectful to that mysterious guest, then that person should also represent a force.

"What are you going to do with so many Beiyi gathering in Huainan?" asked Miko

Lhotse frowned and shook his head. He waved his hand at his uncle, who immediately understood, walked to the desk, wrote a note with a pen, and handed it to Luozi to read, then rolled it in a bamboo tube and handed it to Mengzi. Mengzi had grabbed a carrier pigeon from the courtyard out of nowhere, tied it up, and released it.

It was late at night, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, and when the uncle finally left, he hesitated.

Lhotse said lightly: "Ask." ”

When the uncle saw that he was guessed, he simply said, "The two of them, do they really know you?"

Lhotse didn't answer, it was a tacit acquiescence.

The uncle asked again, "They are also the ones who visit the grave?"

Lhotse still didn't speak, and acquiesced again.

"Tomorrow they will definitely visit the grave again. Can you stop it?" the uncle asked again.

"Stop, can't stop. Lhotse finally spoke.

The uncle stared at his long, half-closed eyes, and said resolutely, "If you want to stop them, I will help you stop them." ”

Lhotse was not only silent this time, but simply closed his eyes, and it seemed that he was going to meditate before going to bed. The uncle opened his mouth and said nothing more. Get up and leave. Walking out the door, he muttered to himself softly, "Who are they, and you care so much about their safety?"

Luozi, who was meditating in the room, moved his eyelids slightly.
