Chapter 1049: Handprints
"Why am I here?"
This question really stumped Han Fen, she looked to the east of the main road, and could vaguely see countless torches, connected with the stars in the night sky, and then turned her head to look to the west, not far away Biyu City was brightly lit, pedestrians in and out, more lively than during the day.
She opened her mouth twice, then turned around and asked, "Why are we here?"
Tie Linglong's gaze never left the lotus girl for a moment, and said softly: "We are passing by here, and we are about to enter the city." ”
"That's right, passing through here. Han Fen breathed a sigh of relief and felt that this answer was really good.
The lotus girl looked at the night sky, her expression resolute, as if she remembered something.
It took Tie Linglong and Han Fen more than half a day to find the lotus girl in the depths of the rouge forest before dark, the lotus girl was standing under a tree in a daze, not knowing anyone, but when Han Fen said, "Let's go", she followed honestly.
They did not walk quickly, and it was long in the evening when they came outside the city gate, and the Dutch girl, who had not spoken, suddenly asked the question of "where".
Tie Linglong wondered if the competition was over, she was eager to know the result, but she couldn't leave the lotus girl, "Let's go, we will be able to enter the city soon." ”
"Into the city?" the lotus girl asked coldly, as if remembering more memories, "This is Biyu City?"
"That's right, the Imperial Master remembered!" Han Fen clapped his hands happily.
The Lotus Nu glanced at her, "Han Fen, can't you stop for a while?"
Han Fen was stunned, then turned to Tie Linglong, with a joyful smile on her face, and said silently with her mouth: "She remembers me." ”
Tie Linglong was more cautious, still feeling that something was wrong, and whispered: "Imperial Master, let's go into the city, maybe we can catch up...... The contest between the Dragon King and the Dubu King. ”
The word "Dragon King" didn't seem to have any effect on the Dutch girl, she reached out and touched the long sword at her waist, and she didn't show any concern, as if it was just a meaningless action, and then she began to mumble to herself: "Competition, this is the final battle, why am I standing here? I should ...... Come with me. ”
Han Fen nodded immediately, as long as the order of the Imperial Master, she had nothing to disobey.
"Where are you going?" Tie Linglong asked cautiously.
"Tie Linglong, don't talk too much. The Lotus Maiden walked towards the city gate, her face no longer dazed, as if she really knew what to do next.
Han Fen followed closely, squeezing his eyebrows at Tie Linglong, and whispered, "The Imperial Master also remembers you." ”
Tie Linglong was surprised that the lotus girl could actually call her name, but her tone was a little strange, "Imperial Master, I'll take you to see the Dragon King, okay?"
The lotus girl didn't stop, "You have joined Xiaoyue Hall, and you are still thinking about the Dragon King?" I said that only by practicing powerful martial arts, doing great things, and making the Dragon King feel that you are useful, he will care about you." We don't see the Dragon King, we have to do great things. ”
Han Fen nodded in agreement, not noticing the strangeness of the Imperial Master's words.
Tie Linglong sighed in her heart, what the lotus girl recovered was not all her memories, but a certain paragraph, in this memory, Tie Linglong was still a disciple of Xiaoyue Hall and did not return to the Dragon King.
Tie Linglong was both sad and sympathetic, this kind of sudden memory fragment probably didn't last long, before in the rouge forest, the lotus girl remembered Shangguan Ru when she was a child, but when Tie Linglong saw her again, she had obviously forgotten it completely.
Tie Linglong also followed closely, deciding that no matter what the Dutch girl wanted to do, she would help.
When she arrived at the gate of the city, the pedestrians around her began to increase, and the lotus girl suddenly stopped, took out a fat powder box from her arms, dipped her fingers in some paint, and wiped it on Han Fen's face a few times, no matter how strange the eyes of the people around her were, and then she was simple and easy to look at Tie Linglong.
Han Fen took the fat powder box and applied it to the Dutch girl's face.
The appearance of the three of them hasn't changed much, but unless they are particularly acquainted, it is difficult to recognize them.
Tie Linglong's eyes were still green, so she walked with her head down as much as possible, and as soon as she entered Beicheng, she listened attentively to the conversations of the people around her, and soon learned that the Dragon King had just entered Beicheng.
The streets of the northern city are full of swordsmen and girls, of course, the third specialty of the southern city is indispensable - endless fine wine, the clever shopkeepers soon discovered the business opportunity, organized manpower to transport the altar of wine into the northern city, walked the streets and alleys to sell, and raised the price, all depending on the number of people or their own mood.
"It's like the New Year. Han Fen's eyes were almost insufficient, so she took out the silver to buy a bowl of wine, and handed it to a strange swordsman in the blink of an eye, which she thought was quite interesting, but she didn't lose a single step, and she could know the location of the imperial master without looking at it.
Tie Linglong was a little puzzled and a little excited, the lotus girl seemed to really have a plan, I don't know when she made it, and what the purpose was, maybe it had already been canceled, but she still regarded it as an important thing.
The lotus girl didn't have as many thoughts as Tie Linglong, nor did she have Han Fen's curiosity, she walked in the crowd, but she turned a blind eye to the crowd, no matter how crowded the road ahead was, she could skillfully avoid it and not come into contact with anyone.
For her, the city is another forest, and pedestrians are nothing more than clumps of grass and trees that pop up out of nowhere.
Tie Linglong once thought that the Dutch girl was going to the governor's mansion, but when there was still a street away from the mansion, the Dutch girl changed direction, and the only thing she did was to put a handprint on an inconspicuous wall.
The palms of the lotus girl were stained with some light-colored grease powder, which was very indistinct on the gray-white wall, and only those who observed carefully could see this mark.
Tie Linglong didn't know why, but she knew that it was useless to ask, and the lotus girl was now the imperial master of Xiaoyue Hall again, and she would not answer a disciple's question.
The lotus girl walked quickly, not casually wandering, before coming to the north city gate, she pressed the handprints on the five walls, Tie Linglong began to feel uneasy, these marks were like orders, maybe there were still hidden Xiaoyue Hall disciples in Biyu City, and they would take action after seeing the handprints.
Are these actions the final decision made by the Dutch girl before her mind is confused? Does the Dragon King know? Tie Linglong didn't know anything, she really wanted to find someone to report to the Dragon King, there were many dragon soldiers on the street, but she didn't know which one was trustworthy.
"The jousting begins!" shouted someone, and hundreds of bowls were lifted above the top, drunk in cheers, and then only crackling and splintering the ground could be heard.
Everyone is crazy, Tie Linglong thought to herself, the lotus girl seems to be the only normal person.
Tie Linglong finally saw someone she could trust, in fact, she was quite surprised, but she didn't have time to think too much, so she hurriedly squeezed over, "Go and tell the Dragon King that I have found the Imperial Master." ”
Tu Gou was stunned for a moment, then recognized Tie Linglong's eyes, and was overjoyed, "It's too coincidental, it's really a ...... emperor."
"The situation is urgent, don't talk nonsense!" Tie Linglong whispered, looked left and right, and found that the lotus girl and Han Fen were walking towards the city gate, "The imperial master pressed five handprints, and I have to let the dragon king know......"
Tie Linglong hesitated slightly, pulled Chu Nanping, who was in a panic next to him, over, and quickly said five locations in his ear, "Remember?"
Chu Nanping nodded.
"Go tell the Dragon King, immediately. Tie Linglong said that she would separate the crowd and go after the lotus girl and Han Fen.
Confused, Tu Gou stood on tiptoe and shouted, "He came out specifically to find you!"
"I know!" Tie Linglong turned around, a bright smile on her face, and the thin layer of fat powder that the lotus girl applied couldn't hide it at all.
The pedestrians staggered, blocking the smiling face in an instant, and the slaughtering dog only had time to take a look, and he couldn't even tell if it was really a smile or his own dazzle, but when he relayed it to Chu Nanping, his tone was extremely affirmative, "She smiled at you." ”
"I know. Chu Nanping also showed a faint smile, "Let's go find the Dragon King." ”
Tie Linglong just caught up with the lotus girl and Han Fen passing through the city gate.
Among the several gates of Biyu City, only the north gate was still heavily guarded, but to Tie Linglong's great surprise, the lotus girl and Han Fen were unobstructed, and the guards of Jinpeng Fort watched the two walk over, but stopped her who came later.
"Together. Han Fen turned his head and said, and the guards immediately let him go.
Outside the city gate, Tie Linglong roughly understood the reason.
The carnival that permeated the city had already crept in, and dozens of Jinpeng Fort guards were drinking and frolicking with seven or eight women, forgetting their duties.
"Lielie. A drunken voice shouted, "I'm going to make you a man tonight!"
The Jinpeng killer is not the kind of person who can be bought casually by women, and Tie Linglong can't help but admire Xiaoyuetang's methods.
A strange woman came out of the shadows under the city wall, bowed to the lotus girl, her eyes flashed over Tie Linglong, slightly surprised, but she didn't ask a word.
"Everything has been arranged, almost everyone is in the North City, there are only a dozen guards left on the mountain, and the others are servants and ladies. ”
The Dutch girl nodded.
Two more women brought some horses, six in all, and mounted their horses and galloped towards the top of the mountain.
Tie Linglong's heart was pounding, and she understood several things: first, tonight's plan was the true intention of the lotus girl, and she must have planned for a long time, and she thought about it at the last moment. Second, these three Xiaoyue Hall disciples have obviously been in a state of hiding, and they have no contact with other sects, so they don't know about the changes in the Imperial Master, and they still obey her.
Tie Linglong glanced back, and understood one more thing, the carnival in the northern city was not accidental, and the girls in the southern city were encouraged to enter the forbidden area one after another, thus creating an atmosphere suitable for the conspiracy of Xiaoyue Hall.
The Dutch girl didn't care about the competition between the Dragon King and the Dubu King, what was she doing in Jinpeng Castle? Tie Linglong already had a guess in her heart, but she wasn't sure what she should do, and she didn't even dare to speak.
The Lotus Maiden's memory is in a wonderful state, she remembers her plans for tonight, but her impression of Tie Linglong is stuck in a year ago.
Tie Linglong didn't want to bring back more memories.
The jousting and carnival attracted everyone, and the houses on both sides of the mountain road were almost empty, and the killers who had been retired for many years could not resist the temptation to go down the mountain to spend all the money they had saved up with great difficulty.
The six women were unhindered along the way.
There were still a few guards in front of the stone bridge, and one of them asked loudly, "Who is coming?"
A woman patted her horse and ran over, "I'm Madame's maid, I'm back to pack my things." ”
The guard bowed deeply and said flatteringly: "I heard that Madame is about to move back, you are Sister Tong of the inner house, I haven't seen you for a long time, is the competition under the mountain over?"
"It's not over when I go up the mountain. Aunt Tong said coldly, turned around and beckoned, signaling that the lotus girl and the others were okay.
Tie Linglong then remembered that she had gone with Shangguan Fei to meet this "Aunt Tong", probably because her life had become better, Aunt Tong was much younger than when they first met, so that she didn't recognize it at first.
It was the emptiest night inside the Jinpeng Castle, and most of the guards were transferred down the hill to prepare for possible conflicts, and driving through the gate, Tie Linglong felt like entering a ghost town.
