Luoyang old deeds
seventeen
The drizzle gradually stopped, and the cold wind was sluggish.
In the evening, the signboards of the street shops are removed and replaced with lanterns, and the candlelight can be as bright as the moon in the night sky.
Nameless walked through the street, came to the Qingming River, the moon under the flower building, singing every night, there are always passers-by in the ears singing: "The hustle and bustle must be happy, and the long night will not forget to return." ”
Looking at the bridge without a name, every time the red boat passes, every time I wonder what kind of person my mother Chen Pingping was, and what story she has with her father.
Eventually, Nameless stepped onto the red boat and paddled with the oars to find the answer.
Since the opening of the manager's shop, most of the young talents and rich children will go to find new love, on the contrary, the drunken immortal residence has become old after the years of wear, the late Fanghua can not be kept, and the fame has fallen even more.
Nameless stepped into the lobby, sat down in an empty seat, watched the Huatai girl sell her sex, and felt very greetings in her heart, when the male servant next to him asked about the girl she liked, Nameless asked about what happened 20 years ago, and the male servant was not happy.
Ask other people more, the result is the same, after all, the old things have long disappeared with the wind, Nameless is helpless, can only drink to relieve his sorrows, the middle-aged man next to him sat down, this person's name is Shen Yan, he seems to know Nameless, raised his glass and said: "You shouldn't come, but he concluded that you would come." ”
"Who are you?"
"You can be my friend of Chen Pingping, or you can be a greedy drinker. ”
The Huatai woman has a beautiful posture and can sing and dance, which attracts the obsession of the officials in the audience, but the nameless in the distance doesn't care about the beauty, he cares about Chen Pingping's past.
"Can you tell me about Chen Pingping?"
"Then why do you want to know, aren't you afraid of listening to it?"
"Chen Pingping treats me very well, she is a very important person in my heart, whether she is embarrassed in the past or not, it doesn't matter, I just want to know more about her and understand her more. ”
The young nameless has a rare filial piety, and these words made Shen Yan feel sad and ashamed when he heard it.
"If I was young, I had the heart to understand kindness like you, how good it would be, in fact, Chen Pingping is not an ordinary woman, let alone a Qinglou girl who laughs and dedicates herself, she is a nobleman who fled from Qingguo. ”
"Qingguo nobles?"
Nameless looked at Shen Yan in surprise, and he confessed his identity, that is, the deputy commander of the Northern Han Jinyi Guard, he knew a lot about Luoyang's past and even secret secrets, not to mention a famous woman like Chen Pingping.
"Qingguo is a small capital located in the south of the Northern Han Dynasty, it is subordinated to the Northern Han Dynasty, closed and defended the country, and there has been no life for a hundred years, and there has been no contact for a hundred years. For a long time, the Northern Han people did not mention it, and even the Luoyang people forgot that this small country existed. ”
"Until twenty years ago, there was a peerless beauty in the drunken immortal residence, her appearance was unique, the language was different, and she fascinated the entire Luoyang City with exotic customs, and after investigation, it was found that she was a nobleman of Qingguo, formerly known as Luo Rosa, and was punished for offending the king in her family, but she fled to the Northern Han Dynasty and changed her name to Chen Pingping. ”
Shen Yan looked at the suspicious nameless, showed a slight smile, drank the wine in the cup and continued: "I remember that the Northern Han Dynasty sent an envoy to contact Qingguo, and the king of Qingguo admitted that a noble woman Luo Rosa had fled, but they only stated that they were not allowed to let her go back, so they did not pursue it. ”
As for how Chen Pingping escaped, I don't know, I only know that when she was in trouble, she took refuge in Zuixianju, and did not sell herself, only her art, and Zuixianju took this to hype and gave her the name Phoenix Jinhua, which means that the rarity is like a phoenix, and the preciousness is like a golden flower. ”
Shen Yan saw that the nameless sorrow was gradually broken, and pointed to the flower platform again, mentioning the prosperous years: "When the flower platform opened, there was a trace of smoke floating, flying petals, Chen Pingping played the pipa alone, the music pulled the heartstrings, and then sang the song Qingguo "Songhua River", as if people were intoxicated by the fairyland in their dreams. ”
Since then, the drunken immortal has been holding the phoenix golden flower, and at the same time, Chen Pingping's beauty and beauty have also spread to the palace, alarming the emperor, so that he will dispute with the Empress Dowager Lu at any cost, and he must accept Chen Pingping into the palace as a concubine. ”
"And in the end?"
Shen Yan saw that he was nameless and listened to it with relish, and then said: "Although Emperor Xian is the emperor, he is a virtual emperor, and the control of the imperial court has always fallen into the hands of the Empress Dowager Lu. ”
"Although Chen Pingping is a fugitive stranger, but the bloodline is still a nobleman of Qingguo, if you can enter the palace as a concubine, after all, it is a threat, Empress Dowager Lu knows the disaster, and strongly opposes the emperor, the matter is over, the folk rumors that the emperor has seen Chen Pingping privately, and the two still have a one-night stand, leaving a dragon species. ”
"This ......"
"It's just a folk rumor, not credible. ”
"What about Chen Pingping and the childless pine?"
"This matter is indeed there, everyone in Luoyang City has seen it, you come out with me first, it's not safe here. ”
After the two drank the wine in the glass, they walked out of the drunken immortal residence, stopped by the river, looked at the life of the drunken gold fan in the night, Shen Yan sighed and said: "The manager's workshop is too big compared to the drunken immortal residence, one is prosperous, the other is deserted, and yes, hypocritical people always like the new and forget the old." ”
"Then why didn't it go out of business? ”
"You'll find out later. ”
As soon as the words fell, the doors and windows of the drunken immortal residence were closed tightly, and there were bursts of screams of fighting inside, and the blood stained the red and white curtains, overflowing from the cracks in the door, and the nameless hurriedly ran over, and when the door was opened, the corpses were all over the place, and no one survived, and the scene was terrifying and terrifying.
"What's going on?"
Nameless turned around and questioned Shen Yan, and Shen Yan smiled lightly: "Every word I say is true, because I am the deputy commander of Jinyiwei. ”
"Kill just to make me believe your words?"
"Not only that, but now the Drunken Immortal Residence is a den of thieves, gathering some people who rebel against the imperial court, and there are many weapons hidden under the ship. ”
"So if they are all killed, are all the people in it all thieves, and is there no shame in killing innocent lives?"
In the face of the nameless and excited question, Shen Yan didn't care, and waved his hand leisurely to signal him to come over.
"Don't get close to the boat, it's still very dangerous! Just now you were going to ask Chen Pingping about her deeds, I told you, now you want to ask the reason for the murder, I will also tell you, you listen ......"
Shen Yan smiled happily, and he whispered to the nameless ear: "This is the purpose of Jinyiwei, I would rather kill one person by mistake than kill one person at a time." ”
"Then why didn't you kill me!"
"That's a good question, there is no forgiveness for this operation, but Wuzisong knows that you will come to the Drunken Immortal Residence to find deeds, so he entrusted me to take care of you, if it weren't for him, you would have become a revenant under the Jinyi Guard's sword early!"
Nameless took a few steps back in surprise, and thought to himself: Could it be that his actions have been tracked and discovered, could it be that the drunk man outside the city is the eyeliner of the childless pine.
"Don't panic, although Luoyang is big and there are many people, the secret news is very accurate, you are doing something, others can know clearly. ”
"Where's the childless pine?"
"Wuzisong is waiting in the little red boat not far away, if you still want to know about Chen Pingping and him, just ask him face to face. ”
Leaving without a name, he didn't say goodbye, because this person didn't mean well, and Shen Yan smiled: "Nameless, Luoyang City is not a place to play, the road must be good, don't die silently......"
