Southern Dynasty, Jiankang, it was close to noon, but it was like sunset. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The remnant clouds swept by the north wind piled up into dark clouds over Jiankang, slowly devouring the last rays of sunlight, and a heavy snow was about to come.
Sima Liao held a sword in both hands, wore a robe, wore a hat, leaned against the horse's head wall, and held a straw in his mouth.
He looked up at the sky and saw the clouds galloping like ten thousand horses, changing their shapes and pressing on Jiankang City.
The north wind was whistling, Sima Liao lowered his head and pressed the hat, spit out the dead grass, and asked Xiao Jiu beside him: "The flower thief should commit the crime at night, what are we going to do when we come out in the morning?"
"It's true that the flower thief committed the crime at night, but the flower thief was able to escape repeatedly, so he must have stepped on it well during the day and made a foolproof plan to get out in advance. ”
Xiao Jiu was sitting on the branch of an old willow tree next to him, the willow tree was about a hundred years old, the trunk was bent and knotted, like a dragon circling, and now there were only a few dead leaves on it.
In front of the tree is a long street paved with bluestone slabs, which can accommodate horse-drawn carriages to walk, although it is not as prosperous as the Qinhuai River, but it is also full of people.
On the other side of the willow tree, there is a divination stall, the stall owner is blind, the stall is on the yin and yang hexagram plate, copper coins, bamboo sticks and other things that should be divided, only a fortune-telling banner stands.
The pole is slightly thick, dark and shiny, made of unknown materials, and doubles as a walking stick for stall owners.
As for the flag, it is black on a white background, and the three big characters of "God Operator" are being displayed in the north wind.
"Then how can you be sure that the flower thieves will come here to step on something?" asked Sima Liao, "Could it be that you are also clever?"
Xiao Jiu pointed to the mansion opposite, the gatehouse was lofty, the pink wall was high, and the top of the wall exposed the pavilions and pavilions, eaves and green tiles.
"The girl of the Zuo family is still waiting to be in the boudoir, but she is already a beautiful woman who is famous for her beauty. The thief who picks flowers puts such flowers, if he has no intention of doing it, he will insult the thief's business. Xiao Jiu jumped down from the branches of the willow tree.
"Not necessarily, if you talk about the appearance of the seniors, the two of us should go back to the Shuobei palace to guard now, now the world knows that there is the first beauty in the world hidden in the palace. Sima Liao said.
Mr. Blind was bright-eared, and glanced at Xiao Jiu's two people.
Xiao Jiu smiled: "If you really have this thought, you can only say that the head of the flower thief was caught by the door, and now the palace is heavily guarded, and flies can't fly in. ”
Sima Liao acquiesced, holding the sword in both hands, and continued to lean against the horse's head wall in a different posture: "Then we will continue to wait for the rabbit like this?" The black clouds are pressing down on the city, the north wind is howling, and the heavy snow is coming, I estimate that the flower thief should not do it tonight." ”
"It's a matter of women's chastity, so it's better to be careful. Xiao Jiu raised his eyes and looked at the other side, "Brother Su often says that the most dangerous place is the safest place, and in the same way, we think that the flower thief will not do it tonight, and he may really do it tonight." ”
Seeing that he was so concerned, Sima Liao couldn't help but quip: "You can't fall in love with this girl from the Zuo family, right?"
Xiao Jiu's face turned red, and Sima Liao suddenly knew that he had guessed correctly.
"Hey!" Sima Liao smiled and teased: "You have only been in Jiankang for a few days, and you have set your sights on Jiankang's famous beauty, and you are fast enough." ”
"In this case, why don't you invite the prince to come to the door to propose marriage? With the identity of the king of Shuobei, it is difficult for the Zuo family not to agree. Sima Liao suggested.
Xiao Jiu looked disdainful: "Love, do you understand love? The twisted melon is not sweet, love is what I want most." ”
"Love can't be eaten. Sima Liao muttered.
He raised his hat: "Speaking of food, it seems that we should go to lunch, and the drum-eyed storyteller in Liu Lao'er's miscellaneous shop estimated that it was about to start." ”
Xiao Jiu touched his stomach: "It's true, this ghost weather has always given me the illusion that I have eaten lunch and am about to use dinner." ”
The two of them straightened their sleeves, raised their feet and walked east along the long street, ready to go to Xikou City on the edge of the Qinhuai River to eat.
When passing by the "God Operator" divination stall, Sima Liao suddenly stopped, he pointed to the Zuofu mansion, and his eyes signaled to the fortune teller: "Why don't you let Mr. test the marriage for you, so that you can know when you will get what you want and return with a beauty?"
Xiao Jiu glanced at the divination stall and shook his head: "Forget it, this hexagram stall has no copper coins and no bamboo sticks, only palmistry, but not faces, and you can't believe it when you see it." ”
Sima Liao saw that this was indeed the case, and he didn't insist, and he and Xiao Jiu raised their feet to leave.
The blind fortune teller spoke: "Childe's words are bad, copper coins, bamboo sticks, and gossip plates are just foreign objects, only ordinary mediocre people use them as props to spy on the heavens, the old man is far worse than them, and he doesn't even need to pinch his fingers, just mentally calculate to spy on the things before and after the son." ”
"Interesting~" Sima Liao stopped again, "Or do you want to make a fortune?"
"Interesting fart, it's interesting to have drum eyes to tell a story? He is not a 'mental operator' He Buping. Xiao Jiu pulled Sima Liao, "Hurry up, be careful that there will be no place for Liu Lao'er's miscellaneous shop later." ”
In these years, it is also fooling people, and storytelling is much more interesting than fortune telling.
When Sima Liao heard this, he immediately ignored the fortune teller and hurried away with Xiao Jiu. The fortune teller, who was left blind, provoked a smile at the corner of his mouth in the northern whistling.
Out of the long street, passing by Waguan Temple, and walking for half an hour, the two arrived at Xikou City. Although the dark clouds are pressed and the heavy snow is coming, there are no fewer businessmen and pedestrians in Xikou City, and the two of them entered the Liu Lao'er Miscellaneous Shop near the river, and the drum-eyed storyteller is drinking tea to clear his throat, and it has not yet opened, but the store is already full of guests who are ready to listen to books with rice or tea.
Xiao Jiu looked around and happened to see a man dressed as a ranger sitting a little closer to the platform of the drum-eyed storyteller drinking alcohol.
That night in the eastern suburbs of Jiankang City, after Su Ge'er knew that Tian Feng, the "mud-legged scholar", had captured the fish girl, he didn't embarrass the ranger, and made sure to let him tell the identity of the woman, but let him go straight away.
Xiao Jiu became friends with the ranger in Gusu City.
Ranger is concerned about Yu'er girl, but he doesn't know where she is now, so he can only live in Jiankang City, and frequently contact Xiao Jiu, hoping to hear some news in Shuobei Palace.
Xiao Jiu and Sima Liao squeezed over and sat down, the ranger raised his eyes, his eyes were drunk, and he didn't care when he saw that it was Xiao Jiu.
Xiao Jiu asked for three jars of wine and four side dishes, and said: "Don't worry, although the 'nerd' Tian Feng is notorious, he is not a person who breaks his word and gets fat, he promises to protect the life of the fish girl, and the fish girl will be safe and sound." ”
"I hope so~" Ranger sighed faintly and asked, "How is the king of Shuobei?"
"It's coming. ”
Xiao Jiu said: "I heard Senior Sister Jianhua say that all the disciples of the Beggar Gang have received the portrait of Miss Yu'er. If anyone is familiar with the identity of the fish girl, or has seen the fish girl not long ago, they will report it in the near future. The beggars help the disciples all over the world, and at that time, don't say that the relationship between the fish girl and the shadow hall will be revealed, that is, where the fish girl is now, and it will be found out. ”
Ranger smiled bitterly, but he didn't think that things were good, but it was because the secret guarded by the fish girl was too amazing, enough to change the color of heaven and earth.
